Mix, Steele
Searching for information on the Amzi M Mix family who were in Canton Twp, Bradford County, PA in 1850 and in Ithaca, Tompkins Co, NY by the mid 1870's.
Amzi M Mix was married to Sarah A Steele, from New York and had the following children: Eugene b. abt 1839, Adelia b. abt 1843, Bede Louise b. abt 1845, Brenet J b. abt 1848 and twins Florence and Frank R b. abt 1853.
The family were members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Ithaca, New York in the 1870's.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

I will copy and past this small part of what I have on him but I do have more.
I am not sure what you are looking for and whether you are related to this family or not.
You can contact me direct and I should be able to add to what you want to know about him or his ancestors.
My notes read as follows:

Miches, Borgelt, Caspari, Rouse
I hope you can help me. You seem very knowledgeable so maybe you can send me a lifeline in this search. My great grandmother was either Dora Borgelt or Dora Miches (family members can't agree) I have a photo of the Miches family but no real names listed except "Dora Miches Caspari" I have also found a "Dora Borgelt Caspari" in the records so am very confused. My grandmother was Evelyn Caspari Rouse.
My great grandmother Dora had a sister named Rose. I cannot find out if either Dora Borgelt or Dora Miches had a sister named Rose. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Difference in severity of dengue outbreaks has been related to virus serotype, genotype and clades within genotypes. Till the 1980 s, India and Sri Lanka reported low number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases despite circulation of all four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV). Since the 1990 s the occurrence of DHF has increased. The increase has been attributed to changes in virus lineage especially with regard to DENV-2 and DENV-3. DENV-1 has been associated with dengue fever (DF) outbreaks and DENV-4 reports have been rare. The emergence of DENV-4 was reported recently in 2003 in Delhi and in 2007 in Hyderabad. The last report of DENV-4 from Maharashtra was in 1975 from Amalner.
We report on the detection of DENV-4 in Pune, Maharashtra after an absence of almost 30 years. Two cases were detected in 2009-10, serotyped by multiplex reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Both the cases were recorded as severe dengue (Category 3) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) level of treatment. Depending on the hemagglutination inhibiting (HI) antibody titres the 2009 case was characterized as a primary infection and the 2010 case as a secondary infection. Both the cases presented plasma leakage and neither showed any kind of haemorrhage. The 2009 case survived while the 2010 case was fatal. An isolate was obtained from the 2009 case. Based on envelope (E) gene sequence analysis, the virus belonged to genotype I of DENV-4, and clustered with isolates from India and Sri Lanka and was distant from the isolates from Thailand. The nucleotide and amino acid diversity of the E gene of the Indian isolates increased from 1996 to 2007 to 2009 in context of the E gene sequences of other isolates belonging to genotype I.
The increasing diversity in the circulating DENV-4 calls for close monitoring of the DENV-4 serotype.
The National Institute of Virology is the WHO Collaborating Centre For Arbovirus And Hemorrhagic Fever Reference And Research. We work in close collaboration with clinicians in providing dengue diagnosis. Samples from suspected dengue cases are tested for dengue specific IgM, using NIV MAC-ELISA kit [1], viral RNA using dengue-specific real time RT-PCR [2] and serotyped by multiplex nested RT-PCR test [3]. As a gold standard, virus isolation is attempted by infecting C6/36 cells (Aedes albopictus mosquito cell line) with patient sera. The infected cells are examined for the presence of virus by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and RT-PCR. Sequencing of viral RNA is carried out using big dye terminator kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA, USA). The infection is characterized as primary or secondary based on the HI antibody response.
Our studies on Dengue in Pune from 2002 to 2008 revealed that DENV-1, 2 and 3 were co-circulating in Pune (unpublished data). From May 2009 to September 2010, 56 cases could be serotyped by the multiplex RT-PCR test. Thirteen cases of DENV-1, 21 of DENV-2, 20 of DENV-3 and two of DENV-4 were detected. The serotype was confirmed by sequencing the amplicon. The first DENV-4 case, Case 1, occurred at the end of the seasonal outbreak period in November 2009. The second case, Case 2 was in the early phase of the season in June 2010. The two cases were hospitalised patients and underwent standard daily clinical evaluation and physical examinations. The case history forms of the patients were filled from the time of admission. Neither of the patients had any recorded history of dengue infection in the past. Both cases presented severe manifestations and required ICU level of care. They could thus be considered as Category 3 (patients requiring bed rest, intensive care-unit level observation protocol) according to the new WHO classification system, which depends on the intervention protocol [4]. Both the cases presented the common symptoms of dengue and symptoms indicative of plasma leakage (Table 1). Case 1 recovered while Case 2 died. Both cases had thrombocytopenia, however the counts normalized by day 5 (post hospitalisation) in Case 1 while it continued to decline in Case 2. Both cases had no symptoms of haemorrhage. There was mild ascites in Case 1, who survived and pleural effusion in Case 2, who died. Respiratory distress has been reported in death cases of dengue [5,6]. Case 2 had severe liver damage as indicated by the dramatic increase in the ALT/AST levels (>1000 IU/L). Liver damage is one of the major symptoms reported for DHF/DSS cases in India [7].
Table 1. Clinical profile of patients infected with DENV-4
DENV-specific IgM antibodies were assessed in serum samples collected on 5th day post onset of illness for Case 1 and 4th day post onset of illness for Case 2. Case 1 was positive for IgM while Case 2 was negative. The titre of HI antibodies in the serum was determined to define whether the individuals had suffered primary or secondary infections. HI antibody titre of >1:2560 in the acute phase of infection is considered confirmatory of secondary infection [8]. Case 1 had very low levels of HI antibodies (1:40 to 1:80) indicating a primary infection. Case 2 had HI titre of 1:2560 indicating a secondary infection. The serum samples were also tested in the dengue IgG capture ELISA (Panbio Ltd.) and showed the presence of 31 units of IgG in Case 1 and 78 units in Case 2.
DENV-4 as the aetiological agent was confirmed by multiplex RT-PCR and sequencing of the amplicon. Sequence analysis of the 500 bp fragment, which represented the core-prM region, revealed that the 2009 and 2010 viruses had high similarity with each other (>99%). An isolate was obtained from Case 1 by infecting C6/36 cells with the patient serum, no isolate could be obtained from the serum of Case 2. The envelope (E) gene was sequenced from the virus obtained after a single passage (HQ600557) and analysed in context with other sequences of DENV-4, present in the GenBank using Maximum Likelihood method, PhyML_3.0 [9]. To date, four genotypes of DENV-4 virus have been described consisting of viruses from Southeast Asia (genotype I), Southeast Asia and the Americas (genotype II), Thailand (genotype III) and Malaysia (Sylvatic) [10]. The 2009 isolate belonged to genotype I or the South East Asian genotype (Figure 1). Within the genotype there were three major clusters representing viruses from A) China and Philippines, B) Malaysia and Thailand and C), India and Sri Lanka suggesting the presence of clades within the genotype. The DENV-4 isolates even within the Indian cluster showed high diversity in the E gene. The Pune 2009 isolate (0952326/India/2009) showed a diversity of >4% as compared to the other Indian isolates of cluster A and 7% as compared to a Thailand isolate from cluster B. The amino-acid diversity ranged between 1.6% to 3.1%. The diversity in nucleotide as well as amino acid sequence of the E gene of Indian isolates increased from 1996 [GenBank: AB111086] to 2007 [GenBank: HM237348] to 2009 (0952326/India/2009) as shown by the arrows in Additional file 1: Table S1, when compared to the other isolates from the region i.e Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Thailand. The nucleotide diversity observed between the DENV-4 isolates was much higher than that reported for DENV-2 isolates within a particular genotype [11]. To strengthen the data and carry out in depth analysis, isolates from the other centres of India reporting the circulation of DENV-4 need to be sequenced.

The high degree of diversity in the envelope gene observed for the DENV-4 viruses circulating on the subcontinent indicates that the serotype is evolving and that close monitoring of the serotype is needed.

Classic Pot au Feu
- Active Time 15m
- Total Time 4h 15m
Serves 6
This classic French boiled beef dish (which translates as "pot on fire") is simple to prepare and yields a double dividend: the cooking broth is served as a soup for the first course, while the cooked beef and vegetables form the main course. In France, this popular dish arouses considerable passions and every year, pot au feu festivals are held across the country. A good pot au feu cannot be rushed: allow at least 4 hours for the brisket to cook. Serve the soup with good crusty bread, and as optional garnishes, offer cornichons, pickled onions, mustard and horseradish. WINE RECOMMENDATION: A robust West Coast Pinot Noir or a French Burgundy will balance the richness of this dish.
- For Pot au Feu:
- 3 pounds beef brisket, with fat point removed, or eye of round, cut in half crosswise (across the grain), choice grade
- 1 pound salt pork, quartered
- 4 cups beef stock
- 8 cups water
- 2 bay leaves
- 5 cloves
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 3 sprigs parsley
- 3 sprigs marjoram
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 5 carrots, sliced on the diagonal about 1/4 inch thick (about 2 cups)
- 1 stalk celery, sliced on the diagonal about 1/4 inch thick (about 1 cup)
- 2 parsnips, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup diced turnip
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 5 leeks, white and light green parts, sliced
- 2 pounds white or red potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 small beef marrow bones (optional)
TO PREPARE POT AU FEU: Place the beef and salt pork in a stockpot and add the stock and water (add more of each if necessary to cover the beef). Place the bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, thyme, parsley and marjoram in a piece of cheesecloth and secure. Add the "bouquet garni" to the pot, add the salt, and cover the pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming off any impurities that rise to the surface with a large spoon. Add the carrots, celery, parsnips, turnip, onion, leeks and garlic, and simmer, covered, for 3 1/2 hours, skimming the surface occasionally. Add the potatoes. Wrap the marrow bones in cheesecloth, add to the pot and simmer for 30 minutes longer or until the beef is tender.
Remove the beef, transfer to a serving platter and slice. Serve the cooking liquid as a first-course soup. Remove the bouquet garni and the wrapped marrow bones. For the entrée, place the sliced beef on warm serving plates with the cooked vegetables.
HELPFUL TIPS: Cooking the marrow bones in cheesecloth, like the bouquet garni, prevents the contents from escaping. Some guests will enjoy scooping out the marrow with a small spoon, so offer them that option; if they accept, serve the marrow bones with toast so they can spread the marrow and enjoy the contrasting textures. Other vegetables you may add or substitute are fennel bulbs (quartered); celery root (quartered); cabbage (cut into wedges); and fava beans.

RANDOM DOPE> Making the Transparent 370Z Shell
I received an email from Tobin Honda of DSPORT Magazine earlier today, saying, "Check this video out!!! This looks dope!"
Since my Inbox gets flooded with hundreds of emails every day, I normally don't take the time to click ALL the video links my friends send me, because I just can't get to them all, and still get all my work done! I don't even know what made me click on the link to this video, as the email didn't provide much of a teaser or explanation about what I'd be watching.
However, for some reason, I decided to click on the video link in Tobin's email… and I'm glad I did. Did you check the video out?! That was dope! Now most of you may be thinking, "MotorMavens doesn't normally put blatant advertising such as this in their editorial lineup… what gives?" Well, we sure didn't receive any form of compensation, endorsement, or product giveaways from Shell. Hell, I don't even know where to buy Shell Helix… I'm not necessarily interested in this video as a form of advertising.
What interests ME is… damn! They made a CLEAR Z34 Nissan 370Z! That joint was straight up TRANSPARENT! If Wonder Woman had a car, that would be her whip. For sure! The technology and creativity utilized to create this video was just INSANE. It's pretty crazy to see what big companies can do when they have an excess of money at their disposal.
However, if I had their financial resources to burn, I'd FOR SURE construct a clear AE86 Sprinter Trueno hatchback – with real RS Watanabe Type R wheels and a life size, functioning 4AG engine under the hood. DAMN! The concept of this project is so dope! And random. (Hence the name of the post category.)

COVERAGE> Remix Car Show and More XDC
Meanwhile, I'm also looking forward to seeing more from Remix. I'll be pretty honest - I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to in the car show area looking at cars, because I was busy in the Irwindale grid area talking to and hanging out with all the grassroots drifters from miscellaneous regions of the United States while they were visiting Southern Cali. However, from what I've seen thus far at the Remix Show, I like it! The entire event had an intriguing vibe to it... for those of us "experiencing" the show for the first time, it was definitely different and fun. The first thing we noticed is that there were a hell of a lot of girls at this event - everything from high end "name brand" models to no-name "new talent." As I mentioned previously, I decidedly focused most of my attention on the drifters on the track and on the grid, but in all honesty, there were quite a few times I had to double take and say "damnnnnn" when I saw certain pieces of eye candy sweetening up the show. (This was definitely the type of show that our boy Yoshi Shindo would go bananas at, I'm not gonna lie.)
Back to the cars, I have to say that there were a lot of really impressive looking cars at the show. Everyone is stepping up their wheel game, and it's awesome! Read more...
CARSPOTTING> Drag Mazda RX2 at IDRC in Fontana
NEWSWORTHY> Southeast Drift, IDRC and Spocom Show!
Today, while some of our MotorMavens Atlanta crew is going out to the Southeast Drift event at Turner Field, some of our Cali-based crew is going out to the IDRC drag race event happening at Fontana CA. We just received our new MotorMavens stickers, so be sure to hit us up for a sticker if you see any of our crew at these events!
On Sunday, the SpoCom Show - the Sport Compact Automotive Tradeshow is back at the Long Beach Convention Center (Sunday, June 14th, 2009 from 11am-6pm). In talking with the people at SpoCom, they're saying this is going to be much bigger than last year! SpoCom has added over 76,000 sq ft to fit in all the sickest cars and hottest girls (they say there will be over a hundred import models there for those who go to shows just for the T&A). We hear there will be a bikini contest, a lingerie show, and our buddy Tobin Honda from D-Sport Magazine tells us they will be conducting a model search at their booth, so make sure not to miss it!
Of course SpoCom is known for having top notch manufacturers there. This year won't be an exception, with companies like Falken, AEM, HKS, Eibach, Sparco, ACT, Eneos, and KW Suspension (and more!) bringing you all their latest and greatest goods.
We'll be there getting killer footage and photos for everyone out of driving distance from the 562 area code. If you're in Southern Cali though, make sure to get out to Spocom and hit us up for a MotorMavens sticker!

Miami man pleads guilty to arson fire at Okeechobee convenience store
OKEECHOBEE - A Miami man faces at least five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to arson of the Handy Food Store on South Parrott Avenue, according to federal officials.
On Thursday in federal court, Christopher Van Hatcher, 33, of Miami, pleaded guilty to starting a fire in the store after breaking in to steal Florida Lottery scratch-off tickets, records show. The maximum sentence is 30 years in prison. Sentencing is Oct. 26 in federal court in Fort Pierce.
Before leaving the store, in the 1400 block of South Parrott Avenue, Hatcher set fire to the remaining lottery tickets. That caused extensive fire and smoke damage to the building, reports show.

Buena, Westlake settle for scoreless draw
Buena High's Nicolas Guzman came into Wednesday night's match against Westlake High with all three of his team's goals this season.
The senior striker figured to add some more to the total.
But the Westlake patchwork defense was able to contain Guzman, who finished with four shots, and the rest of the Bulldogs in a 0-0 draw.
"That seems to be what we're about this nonconference season," said Buena head coach Shaun Strople. "Every game we manage to outshoot our opponent. We create opportunities, but it's tough to finish."
Standing in the way of Buena was Westlake senior goalkeeper Shane Dulgeroff. He came up with two clutch saves — holding onto a Guzman shot in the 20th minute and tipping a 20-yard bullet from Guzman over the crossbar in the 67th minute.
In the 15th minute of the game, the Warriors defense was plagued by injuries as it has been often this season. Junior defense men RJ Kashare exited the game with back spasms.
"The big issue for us tonight was just that we had to move guys around," said Westlake head coach Bill Propster. "That really makes it tough for us to get into any kind of rhthym."
Offensively for the Warriors (2-2-2), opportunities were hard to come by with all the shifting of their lineup.
Westlake had a case for a penalty kick 16 minutes into the game when senior striker Chris White appeared to be shoved to the ground 5 yards inside the penalty box. No whistle was blown, and the Warriors went on to total just four shots on goal, despite having five corner kicks.
In the first half, Buena (1-2-1) had the best opportunities to get on the board. In just a two-minute span the Guzman got two shots off. Fredi Ortiz sailed a 30-yard shot over the top of the crossbar in the fourth minute.
The closest to a goal that either side had was in the 50th minute. After Dulgeroff left the box, leaving an empty net, Guzman fired a shot on goal, but a defender managed to get his head on the ball and keep the ball out of the back of the net.
Westlake will take the shutout and move forward despite all the injuries.
"I like the fact that we got a shutout," Propster said. "We've been doing fairly well defensively; we don't give up a lot of opportunities. We just need to figure out how to be a little bit more dangerous offensively. That may take a little while."
For Buena, however, it's a different story.
"We're great when we connect passes on the ground. We sometimes play through balls and balls over the top and that's just not the way we want to play," Strople said. "Sometimes we fall in the habit of playing their game, instead of playing ours, and that's what needs to improve."

I am currently involved in a project to evaluate the health impacts of large-scale Strategic Energy Performance Investments. The investments aim to alleviate fuel poverty by retrofitting energy-efficiency measures into homes in low-income areas across Wales. My research areas are: to determine the impact of fuel poverty on the prevalence of key physical and mental health outcomes, and to identify the social and economic processes involved in health improvements resulting from the retrofit measures.
I have a PhD from Imperial College for my research on household pesticides in the UK: use, risk perception and policy implications. This was a multidisciplinary study that aimed to identify and explore the extent of pesticide use in the home by families with children, and social aspects involved in pesticide use. Data was collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews with subjects within the ALSPAC cohort in Bristol. Research areas included risk perception, behaviour assessment, exposure assessment, epidemiological impacts, policy analysis, toxicology and risk assessment, and sustainable use of pesticides.
I have a background in biology and environmental technology, and have worked in the fields of environmental policy, environmental epidemiology, and public health. My interest lies in assessing the health impacts in adults and children from exposure to indoor and outdoor environmental stressors. I have been involved in health risk assessments of: industrial and waste processes; environmental contamination of land, water and air; large-scale chemical incidents; indoor and outdoor exposure assessment; and communicating risk.

Thank you for your comment.
However, you fail to notice the wheel set that is with the bike. SRAM Red is an option; again specified by me with my dealer at extra cost. This is not a standard built Storck - hence the price.
I have SRAM Red on ALL three of my Storcks.

Gkam, it must be a custom built bike, the fact it has Sram Red shows this.
The standard build does not come with anything like the wheel spec or finishing kit this one does so why point it out?
let the man sell his bike without armchair critics wading in on something they have no intention of buying.

Last year, Annie Leibovitz found herself in over $24 million in debt.
"The mind that can take these extraordinary pictures is not necessarily the same mind that is a perfect money manager," Graydon Carter, one of the artist's greatest fans told the NYT at the time. Annie's photographs may be consistently brilliant, but news of unpaid loans and crazy spending habits proved her ability to pay bills was anything but.
In the fall of 2008, Leibovitz came under fire after essentially pawning her life's work in exchange for some cash. She initially took a $5 million loan and later an additional $10.5 million from Art Capital to help pay off her debts — a sad, sad day for Leibovitz lovers who think of her work as priceless. Even sadder was the day Art Capital brought the photographer to court for failing to pay back her loans. What a mess.
Ultimately, Leibovitz and Art Capital settled, and the artist received a much needed extension on the pay back of her loan. She eventually struck a deal with Colony Capital, who agreed manage the debt.
And now the plot seems to thicken. Yesterday, financial advisor Kenneth Starr was arrested on fraud charges in New York. Apparently it was Starr who introduced Annie to Art Capital and was in charge of managing the loan. He is now being charged with using his client's investments to benefit his own interests — namely a $7.5 million apartment on the Upper East Side. Maddoff, anyone?
"News of Kenneth Starr's arrest does not come as a complete surprise to me and I will follow this story with great interest. " Leibovitz told WWD. "Ken Starr no longer represents me and has not for some time."
Maybe if she wasn't so shocked, she should have ended her financial relationship with Starr sooner. So is it not Annie's fault after all? Without a doubt, the photographer could have a better hold on her expenses. She should have been watching her money with that close eye we know and love. But for now, until the Starr mess becomes clearer, we can cut her some slack.

Who Commits the Crime
Perpetrators committing identity crime often include those whom victims trust, including family and friends, and/or those who have access to their information through other legitimate relationships.
|Service providers
|Those to whom individual victims or companies who possess their personal information freely offer it on false pretenses or during another transaction
|Those who steal information through use of both low-tech and high-tech means
Within identity crime organizations, there are some patterns. "Hub and Spoke" model provided below will help explain the organization of criminal enterprise in identity crimes (created by Sgt. Stephen Jensen of the Identity Crime Unit at Suffolk County (NY) Police Department):
In this model, the "suppliers," "converters" and "passers" have unique and connected roles:
|Suppliers: Gather stolen personal information [S]
|Converters: Create new forms for using stolen identities [C]
|Passers: Use the converted data to obtain goods, services or cash [P]
Often in organizations depending on several individuals, the actors will erect "Chinese walls" or a division of labor which separates the perpetrators and cloaks the various parts of the enterprise in anonymity, usually designed to protect the larger whole in case one "spoke" is compromised by law enforcement.
Anonymity may be set up through:
- Internet communications and data transfers
- Continuous employment of new recruits in "spoke" operations that have little knowledge as to organization or members and are usually paid for work in cash.
- Sub-contracting part of the enterprise to smaller informal organizations.
- Use of mail drops and merchandise drops.
|Various Sizes of Criminal Organizations
|Single individual
Involved in every facet of the enterprise, he/she obtained the personal identifiers, plans the use of the identifiers and obtains goods, services or cash, etc.
|A small group of actors
|Highly sophisticated and/or complex organization (many individuals)
Organized identity crimes may be instrumental to or involve other crimes including:
Government/Vital Document Fraud
Federal raids in 2006 at meat-processing plants owned by Swift & Co. in six states resulted in the arrests of 1,282 people for immigration violation, with 65 also charged with identify theft or other criminal charges.
Drug Trafficking
The National Association of Counties reports that methamphetamine-related identity crimes increased from 27% to 31% between 2005 and 2006.9
Weapons Trafficking
Identity crime is a serious problem for those working to stop illegal gun trafficking. "Lying and buying," schemes make identity theft a critical element in weapons trafficking. Firearm purchases made under a false identity (either fictitious or stolen) enable traffickers to completely escape detection when the gun is used or sold in commission of a crime.
Wire Fraud
In March, 2008 Luis Uribe pleaded guilty to single counts of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in what prosecutors are calling a mortgage scheme that resulted in more than $6 million in fraudulent loans. Uribe faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
He was one of the principals behind Bay General Contracting Services LLC, a non-licensed contracting service firm where Uribe reportedly used his mortgage broker license to obtain 32 loans under false pretenses. He then disbursed the proceeds of those loans into bank accounts in his control.
Although "numerous" notices of commencement were filed with clerks in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Citrus counties, no construction work was actually done. Bay General never hired any employees and brought in no one to work on the projects it had obtained loans for. Prosecutors said that Bay General was used to improperly inflate the value of properties being bought, to strip actual and fraudulently created equity out of properties and to serve as a vehicle for "siphoning the proceeds" from fraudulently obtained loans http://tampabay.bizjournals.com/tampabay/stories/2008/03/24/daily46.html.
The case was investigated by the Tampa Police Department and the FBI.
The 9/11 Commission Report highlights the urgency of preventing and responding to identity crimes as a crucial instrument in combating terrorism. "Travel documents are as important as weapons," the report says. "Fraud is no longer just a problem of theft. At many entry points to vulnerable facilities, including gates for boarding aircraft, sources of identification are the last opportunity to ensure that people are who they say they are."10
In addition to using false identities to facilitate travel, terrorists are often financing operations through stolen credit. A global terrorist cell based in the United Kingdom used credit card information stolen via phishing attacks and laundered money through on-line gambling sites to finance Web sites "promoting martyrdom through terrorist violence," according to British press reports.
Credit card information was put on the black market, which the terrorist cell eventually used to establish a network of Web sites that enabled communications among terrorists. The sites also provided information on such topics as computer hacking and bomb-making and hosted videos of beheadings and suicide bombings in Iraq. In 2007, three men – Waseem Mughal, Younis Tsouli and Tariq al-Daour – were sentenced to jail terms for encouraging others to commit acts of terrorism.11

Brief Synopsis
An ancient Egyptian doctor uses court intrigue to discover his birthright.
In the 14th Century B.C., in Thebes, Egypt, physician Senmut and his wife adopt a baby found in a basket floating in the Nile River. Although Senmut is one of the few practitioners of brain surgery and could be wealthy, he dedicates himself to the poor, and his values are instilled in his foster son, Sinuhe, who grows up to be a physician. When Sinuhe begins his own practice, he quickly learns that even the poorest people are reluctant to patronize an inexperienced doctor. One day, while roaming the streets looking for patients, Sinuhe meets Kaptah, a loquacious, one-eyed slave who volunteers to be his servant. Then, after failing to save an injured slave, Sinuhe is comforted by Merit, a tavern girl who deeply loves him. Soon after, Pharaoh Amenhotep III dies, and Sinuhe goes out drinking with his best friend, the warlike Horemheb. Horemheb is furious that he has been refused a position with the palace guards because of his lowly birth, and as dawn approaches, persuades Sinuhe to accompany him on a lion hunt. As they pursue a lion, they see a frail young man praying to the rising sun, and Horemheb kills the lion just as it is about to attack him. The man then falls into an epileptic fit, and while Sinuhe tends to him, the palace guard, led by ambitious priest Mikere, arrives and arrests him and Horemheb. When they are taken to the palace, Sinuhe and Horemheb are horrified to discover that the man they helped is the new ruler, Akhnaton. Although Mikere urges Akhnaton to sentence the captives to death for touching him, Akhnaton, who does not believe in treating pharaohs as living gods, refuses. Instead, Akhnaton appoints Sinuhe the court physician and allows Horemheb to join the palace guard. As he is leaving, Sinuhe is questioned by Taia, Akhnaton's mother, and the ambitious Baketamon, his sister. Taia is unusually intrigued by Sinuhe's past, but Sinuhe soon forgets the incident. That night, Horemheb takes Sinuhe to a party at the home of Nefer, a Babylonian courtesan, and Sinuhe is overwhelmed by Nefer's sultry beauty. Although Nefer herself warns Sinuhe to stay away, he becomes obsessed with her and vainly attempts to match the rich gifts given to her by other suitors. As time passes, Sinuhe gives Nefer the necklace given to him by Akhnaton, his medical instruments and house, and even the deeds to his parents' house and their tombs in the City of the Dead. While Kaptah and Merit lament what has happened, Baketamon urges Horemheb to help Sinuhe by pursuing Nefer himself and allowing Sinuhe to find them together. Even proof of Nefer's infidelity does not sway Sinuhe, but eventually, she tires of toying with Sinuhe and banishes him from her home. In a rage, Sinuhe attempts to strangle her, and after Nefer's guards toss him into the street, Sinuhe goes to his parents' home, where he learns that they have committed suicide. Overcome by grief, Sinuhe takes their bodies to the House of Death, where mummies are prepared for the passage to eternal life. Without funds, Sinuhe is forced to work in the abysmal surroundings in order to pay for his parents' embalming, and after ninety days, sneaks their bodies into the City of the Dead, where he intends to bury them. Kaptah tells Merit of Sinuhe's predicament and she follows him into the desert, where she offers him the simple, unconditional love she believes he deserves. The following day, Sinuhe and Kaptah are forced to flee Thebes, as Akhnaton's daughter died while Sinuhe could not be found and the pharaoh has passed a death sentence upon him. Sinuhe and Kaptah spend the next ten years wandering the world, and although he grows increasingly cynical, Sinuhe's fame as a healer spreads and he becomes wealthy. One day, Sinuhe agrees to operate on a Hittite warrior about to lead an army against Egypt, and in exchange for his work, Sinuhe requests the Hittite's sword. Kaptah is puzzled by Sinuhe's bizarre request, then alarmed when Sinuhe returns with him to Thebes, where they are arrested. Sinuhe's motive becomes clear when he gives the sword, made of iron, to Horemheb, now captain of the palace guards, and tells him that without this new metal, the Egyptians will suffer defeat. Horemheb begs Akhnaton to allow him to fight the Hittites, but Akhnaton, whose devotion to Aton, the sun god, has grown, refuses to sanction any bloodshed. Although Horemheb is still devoted to Akhnaton, he tells Sinuhe that the jealous priests of the old gods are tearing apart Egypt in their attempts to bring down the monotheistic pharaoh. Akhnaton forgives Sinuhe for his past mistakes and again appoints him court physician, although Sinuhe turns his back on the poor and treats only the rich. One day, a diseased Nefer comes to Sinuhe for help, and the physician is surprised to find that he no longer desires revenge against her. Feeling renewed, Sinuhe walks through his old neighborhood and runs into Merit and her son Thoth. Sinuhe and Kaptah deduce that Thoth is Sinuhe's son, and the delighted physician promises to start life over with Merit, who has become a follower of Aton. Later, Sinuhe is summoned to the palace, where he learns that the Hittites have invaded Syria and are progressing to Egypt, although Akhnaton continues to refuse Horemheb permission to fight. When Sinuhe examines Akhnaton, his failing health becomes apparent, and the pharaoh, believing that Aton has forsaken him, asks Sinuhe to release him from his pain. Sinuhe demurs and is then confronted by Horemheb and the priests, who ask him to kill Akhnaton so that they will be able to defend Egypt. Sinuhe refuses and laughs bitterly upon discovering that the priests intend to make Horemheb pharaoh after Akhnaton's death. Before he can leave, Sinuhe is summoned by Baketamon, who also asks him to kill Akhnaton and reveals that as the son of one of Amenhotep's other wives, Sinuhe is her half-brother and therefore entitled to rule with her as his consort. Sinuhe is astonished by the news, which Baketamon says was told to her by Taia when he first came to the palace. When Sinuhe sees a statue of Amenhotep in the City of the Dead and recognizes the physical resemblance between them, he realizes she is telling the truth. On their way back to town, they see that Horemheb has begun a massacre of Aton's followers, and Sinuhe rushes to find Merit and Thoth. Sinuhe sends Thoth away with Kaptah, then finds Merit in the Temple of Aton, which is being attacked by soldiers. Sinuhe is unable to save Merit, who is killed by an arrow. Blinded by anger, Sinuhe now agrees to poison Akhnaton, whom he blames for Merit's death because of her belief in Aton. While Akhnaton is dying, however, he praises his god, and his simple belief in a world created in love, in which all men are equal, moves Sinuhe deeply. Sinuhe, who had also intended to poison Horemheb, declares that Horemheb is the pharaoh that Egypt deserves and saves his life. Later, with Baketamon by his side, Horemheb interrogates Sinuhe, who has been arrested for praising Aton and Akhnaton. Horemheb sentences Sinuhe to banishment, and many years later, Sinuhe dies after writing a chronicle of his life in the hope that one day Thoth will find it.

Yoga Tips for Beginners from a Beginner. ~ Samantha DuBois
It didn't take long for me to fall for yoga.
Although it wasn't love at first asana, by the third or fourth class I knew I could see a future.
Our relationship has only been six months, but yoga has shown me what other workouts never could.
I feel stronger, more self-aware and—for once—committed. I know that with yoga, there is only room for me to grow.
Yoga and I still have so much more to learn about each other. But I am confident that I've picked up some key tips for others who want to turn their "casual dates" with yoga into something long-term.
If you're ready to get serious with yoga, here's how:
1. Breathe.
Your yoga teacher may remind you to breathe at least five times during class, but it's still easy to forget when you're worried about doing poses correctly. Make remembering your breath part of the intention you set before every class. Breathe loudly, and even through your mouth, so you can hear yourself and be reminded.
Focus more on keeping your breathing consistent than syncing it to your teacher's inhale/exhale instructions, because if you fall behind, you'll be more likely to hold your breath trying to catch up. Your breath really is a tool to connect more deeply with yoga—use it!
2. Take Your Time
Don't rush your poses. Forcing something to happen too soon is how you get hurt. Make sure you're set up correctly and a pose feels right before you take it a step further. If you fall behind the class, keep going at your own pace, or rest in a comfortable pose until you can rejoin the group. Yoga is your practice, so you shouldn't feel pressured to keep up with others around you. Performing poses correctly is always better than doing them quickly.
3. Have Patience.
This goes hand-in-hand with taking your time. Learn to accept when a pose just isn't working for you, and move on. Realize that difficult poses take most yoginis months—even years—to master. Dedicate yourself to practicing in the present, and accept everything your body is able to do. Progress will come if you're willing to wait a little. But, in order to progress, you have to…
4. Practice.
Yoga provides a wonderful opportunity to grow spiritually and physically every time you practice—if you are consistent. If you want to do an inversion but you never practice up against a wall, you won't be handstanding anytime soon. As with any skill, you have to put the work in to become better at yoga.
5. Notice.
Some poses really suck. Like a lot. Like "How can anyone do this?" hard. Pay attention to the poses your body resists and the muscle areas that feel tight. When you home in one your problem areas, you can start to incorporate the right stretches to improve them.
Conversely, notice the poses you complete with ease. You can use this flexibility and strength to your advantage when tackling harder poses. And when there's a frustrating pose you can't seem to get, it will be easier for you to recall all those that you did master.
Notice also the thoughts that arise at the beginning and end of your practice so you can investigate them further, should you choose.
6. Find Your Rhythm.
No two yogis are alike! You may be totally bored in a regular Vinyasa class, but in the zone when your flow is set to hip hop. Performing a yoga pose balanced on a partner's back may be too close for comfort, but flying into a pose on aerial silks might set you free! A regular class may not test your limits, but a hot yoga class could be the extra push you need. Experiment with different styles of yoga to discover what works best for you. Once you get in the groove, you'll be unstoppable.

These are really helpful hints to be mindful of–especially the reminder to leave out the self-judgment and invite in the self-reflection…
I DO want to do inversions and no, I've never practiced against a wall. Thanks for that tip.
A great article! Such insightful advice for all yogis. I especially love your last point: there is something out there for everyone!

Six years removed from winning the Heisman Trophy, Eric Crouch said his best football is still ahead of him.
The former Nebraska quarterback is entering his second season in the CFL. He'll report to Toronto for the Argonauts' training camp next week -- three weeks early.
Crouch said he is gunning for the starter's job. First he'll have to unseat 43-year-old Damon Allen and beat out three others.
Crouch appeared in three games before a shoulder injury ended his season last year.
Offensive coordinator Steve Burrato said he plans to give the 28-year-old Crouch every opportunity to win the job.

I'm sorry your sister is facing this!
Radiation therapy is a local therapy. This means that it affects only cells in its path and doesn't not harm cells elsewhere in the body or even elsewhere in the brain. I would suggest having a conversation with her doctor to find out what to expect and how you can support her before/during/after the treatment. Be sure to take notes and bring in any specific questions you might have.
Another option for your sister might be to find a clinical trial. New therapies for cancer are being developed all the time. Click here for more information: Cancer Clinical Trials

Jesuit Reflects on His Friend, Pope Francis
Jesuit Father Hernán Paredes studied at Colegio Maximo San Jose in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as a Jesuit in formation when Pope Francis, then Jesuit Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was the rector and spiritual director. Fr. Paredes, a native of Ecuador who currently teaches at Loyola School in New York City, shared his thoughts on the election of his friend in an interview that will be published in an upcoming issue of JESUITS magazine. Excerpts of the interview follow:
How did you learn of the election of Pope Francis?
I was attending a Broadway show with Loyola School freshmen. At intermission, a student told me there was a new pope but he couldn't pronounce the name. He showed me the news story on his phone. I cried and prayed for my friend. It did not surprise me that he asked for prayers from the crowd when he first appeared on the balcony after his election. He always asked for prayers, even in his e-mails.
What can you tell us about his influence in your life and vocation?
I am very lucky to have had him as my superior and spiritual companion and to call him a friend. I'm a Jesuit some 30 years because of him. I learned from Jorge … to be humble, practical and available. He wants priests who are faithful to God and willing to serve.
It did not surprise me that his formal installation as pope took place on Saint Joseph's Day, when we honor a humble and faithful servant of God. As his installation approached, I traveled to Belize with 10 Loyola faculty members and administrators to build homes for the needy. That is the way Pope Francis would have wanted me to celebrate his installation.
What are some of the characteristics and gifts that Pope Francis brings to the church?
Pope Francis is a man who stands for and with the poor. He knows the poor by name, and I have witnessed this many times. Last year, I visited him in his office in Buenos Aires. Later in the same week, I visited a friend's home in a poor barrio. Our friend praised then Cardinal Bergoglio for giving what money he had to help. He is known for his humility and generosity. Jorge was the community's superior but he served others in so many ways, including cooking on Sundays for the scholastics.
What does his election mean for Latin America and the church?
It's overwhelming. We are the Catholic Church, and the word catholic means universal. I've received calls from people around the world, in the United States, Ecuador, Argentina and many other places, and they are so very happy. … Long life to Pope Francis, the pope of the poor!
America's Editor Jesuit Father Matt Malone Profiled in The New York Times
Jesuit Father Matt Malone, the youngest-ever editor-in-chief at America magazine, was recently profiled in The New York Times. Fr. Malone sat down with columnist Clyde Haberman to discuss the 104-year-old Jesuit magazine, the first Jesuit pontiff and his Jesuit vocation.
When asked if the new pope is good for the Jesuits, Fr. Malone said "It's uncharted territory. It's hard to know how it affects us other than to say we're very proud."
What's indisputable is that Pope Francis' election has been good for America magazine. "We had a huge number of hits on the Web site [during the papal conclave]. In fact, it crashed after he was announced, because of the demand," said Fr. Malone, who reported from Rome during the conclave.
According to Fr. Malone, Pope Francis has most likely seen America magazine. "It's sent to every Jesuit community in the world," he pointed out.
He also discussed his Jesuit vocation. When Fr. Malone was in his late 20s working in Boston, he moved next door to a Jesuit parish. He became captivated by the Jesuits' "spirituality and way of praying."
Fr. Malone, whose early passion was politics, said, "I came to feel that change, real change, only happens through the action of grace, a radical movement of the heart.
"It wasn't so much that I thought, 'I'm disillusioned — I'll go off and be a priest.' It was very much thinking that I was moving closer to the source of real change."
Read the whole profile on Fr. Malone at The New York Times' website.
Jesuit Father Sean Carroll Calls For Immigration Reform at Congressional Hearing
At a Capitol Hill hearing yesterday, Jesuit Father Sean Carroll, executive director of the Kino Border Initiative (KBI), testified about a new report that's shedding light on disturbing cases of family separation caused by current U.S. immigration policy.
The report, "Documented Failures: the Consequences of Immigration Policy on the U.S.-Mexico Border," commissioned by the Jesuit Conference of the United States, Jesuit Refugee Service/USA and KBI examines the experiences of migrant women, men and children deported from the United States to cities along Mexico's northern border.
As the executive director of KBI, a bi-national humanitarian ministry of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Carroll works to aid deported migrants who pass through the KBI's Aid Center and through Nazareth House, KBI's shelter for migrant women and children.
At an ad hoc hearing convened by Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, U.S. representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district, Fr. Carroll testified, "At the U.S./Mexico border, we are witnesses to what many don't see or refuse to acknowledge: the physical, psychological and emotional destruction caused by current U.S. immigration policies in the lives of Mexican and Central American men, women and children looking to be reunited with their family members who live in the United States.
"This report, supported by our experience and service on the border, confirms the disastrous effects of current U.S. immigration policies on families, whether through the process of deportation or because of mixed immigration status. We can and must do better."
Following the hearing, Fr. Carroll attended the Rally for Citizenship on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol with thousands of immigrants and activists seeking to urge Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Fr. Carroll said that he thinks this is an incredibly hopeful time for immigration reform as "we are doing our best to ensure that this reform is just and humane."
'Spiritual Practices' Art Exhibit Showcases Works of Four Jesuit Artists
The diverse works of four contemporary Jesuit artists are currently being showcased at an exhibit at the University of San Francisco's Manresa Gallery. "Spiritual Practices: Meditations on Faith" is an exploration of the visual art practices of Jesuit Fathers Arturo Araujo, Thomas Lucas, Trung Pham and Josef Venker.
The exhibition features a range of mediums — including prints, stained glass, paintings and sculptures — that explore and reveal contemporary issues through art. According to Jesuit Father James Hanvey, the Lo Schiavo Chair in Catholic Social Thought at the University of San Francisco who specializes in Ignatian spirituality, "Whatever their professional training as artists, their 'eyes' and their 'hands' have come to see and touch with the senses of the [Spiritual] Exercises.
"Each one of the artists in this exhibition has his own unique voice but each, in his own way, illuminates some aspect of our lives and our souls," writes Fr. Hanvey in an essay on the exhibit.
Fr. Araujo, a Colombian Jesuit, currently serves as an assistant professor of fine arts at the University of San Francisco. His works in the exhibit focus on the landscape of "Cienega Grande," a network of salt-water lagoons on Colombia's northern coast. The landscape became a battlefield when violence erupted and left 60 dead by the paramilitary in 2000. "The same landscape serves me as a mythical place to seek reconciliation," Fr. Araujo writes.
Fr. Lucas, a professor of art and architecture at the University of San Francisco, says that during his 35-year career as a liturgical artist, designer, curator and Jesuit, his work has been shaped by the symbol, myth and ritual of the Catholic tradition.
He uses everything from ancient materials to modern techniques. "The pieces reach back to traditions of the gothic glassmaker, the byzantine iconographer and Latin American baroque craftsfolk, but also are touched by the contemporary realms of found objects, electricity and computer-aided design," Fr. Lucas writes.
A professor of fine arts at Seattle University, Fr. Pham's paintings explore the intimate relationship between mother and child. When his father was sent to a re-education camp after the Vietnam War, his grandmother and mother's love became even more intense for Fr. Pham. "These two women not only loved me unselfishly but were also immeasurably strong, wonderfully intelligent and unbelievably hard working," he recalls.
Fr. Venker, an assistant professor of fine arts at Seattle University, worked with found objects to find spiritual and religious meaning through ordinary and discarded things. "This search for God has become a key pursuit of the Jesuits to this day," he explains.
Information about the exhibit, which runs through May 12, is available at the Manresa Gallery website. View art from the exhibit below.
Jesuit Father James Van Dyke Named Principal of New Cristo Rey School in Atlanta
Jesuit Father James R. Van Dyke has been named founding principal of the new Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School, opening in fall 2014. Fr. Van Dyke, who currently teaches English and religion at Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx, N.Y., has worked in Jesuit secondary education for 24 years.
Cristo Rey Atlanta is a newly sponsored ministry of the Maryland, New England and New York Provinces of the Society of Jesus. The 500-student school will be part of the Cristo Rey network, which provides low-income students with a rigorous college prep curriculum. Students also participate in a corporate work-study program, which defers tuition costs.
Fr. Van Dyke, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Virginia; a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theology from the Weston School of Theology (now the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry); and a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts from St. John's College in Annapolis, Md.
After entering the Jesuits in 1981, Fr. Van Dyke was ordained in 1993 and professed final vows in 2004. Before teaching at Fordham Prep, he was a teacher and faculty chaplain at Xavier High, chaplain of Regis High School in New York City and an English teacher at Canisius High School in Buffalo and at McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, N.Y. In addition to his teaching duties, he has also served as student chaplain, retreat director, yearbook moderator and coach of swimming, crew and mock trial.
Fr. Van Dyke has volunteered extensively as a Sunday assistant at parishes, most recently at the Church of St. Thomas More in New York City, and served on the boards of the Holocaust Resource Center of Buffalo, Regis High School and Fordham Prep.
