Madonna officially on the road to adoption
A senior court official announced today that Malawi authorities granted Madonna an interim order to adopt a child, meaning there will be a subsequent hearing to determine whether she'll be allowed to adopt the child or not.
Under Malawian law the hearing must take place within two years. "This also means that she has been put on observer status to see how she will relate to the child, and people from social welfare will have to observe that. The court will depend upon their observations to make a final decision," Ligowe added.
Considering the child is coming from extreme poverty and Madonna is one of the richest humans on the planet, the only way she would be denied the adoption is if they discovered a sweatshop in her basement or a cookbook in her kitchen on how to prepare human.

Ramallah, West Bank • Thousands of Israeli soldiers have been combing the West Bank inch by inch, searching homes, crawling into caves and even pumping wells to try to find three teens who Israel says were abducted by the Islamic militant Hamas.
But nearly two weeks into Israel's most extensive military operation in the West Bank in a decade, there's no sign of the missing.
With the disappearance unresolved, Israel has been using the searches to try to dismantle Hamas' operations in the West Bank. Israel says it has delivered a painful blow to Hamas, arresting 270 Hamas activists and raiding more than 60 businesses and institutions linked to the group.

County Council candidates Campisi, Stenger turn forum into shouting match
Stenger attacks Campisi's voting record, Campisi questions Stenger's residential history
Staff Reporter
"I think it's unbelievable that a sitting county councilman admits to the press the reason why he voted on this (trash-districting) debacle ... was that he did not read the legislation."
— Steve Stenger, 6th District County Council Democratic candidate
October 22, 2008 -
What started as a candidate forum turned into a shouting match last week between 6th District Republican County Councilman John Campisi and his Democratic challenger, attorney Steve Stenger.
Political newcomer Stenger seeks to unseat Campisi, who first was elected in 2000 to the County Council.
At the Oct. 16 forum sponsored by the South County Chamber of Commerce, Campisi and Stenger traded jabs over Campisi's voting record and Stenger's residential history in south county.
Stenger criticized Campisi for voting unanimously with the County Council in December 2006 to amend the county's solid-waste code for the future establishment of residential trash districts in unincorporated areas.
"Even if (Stenger) just moved into the district ... he's still a carpetbagger no matter how you look at it. He hadn't lived in south county. He may have just made the (residential candidacy) requirement, but he still has not lived in south county."
— John Campisi, 6th District County Councilman
Since early 2007, Campisi has contended he was misled by former 3rd District Republican County Councilman Skip Mange into voting "yes" to establish trash districts. Campisi reiterated last week that he believed he was voting to set days for trash pickup while still allowing residents to choose their own waste haulers.
However, the language in that ordinance stated that the County Council would award bids to one hauler per district. All eight trash districts now are established, including four districts in south county.
Since early 2007, Campisi has attempted to pass legislation to repeal the trash districts, but Stenger said at last week's forum that those efforts do not make up for not reading the legislation establishing them.
"I think it's unbelievable that a sitting county councilman admits to the press the reason why he voted on this debacle ... was that he did not read the legislation," Stenger said. "... He wants to blame (County Counselor) Patricia Redington. He wants to blame (County Executive) Charlie Dooley.
"Certainly, they share their portion of the blame. It's undoubted. But he just can simply not say that the buck stops here in south county. He won't say it. He didn't do his due diligence on the bill, and that is why south county has trash districting. If he sits here and says: 'My vote wouldn't have mattered,' that's not leadership. If he sits here today and tells you that he's been against it from the start, that's not leadership. Leadership rests upon accountability. This man sitting next to me, he doesn't want accountability."
Campisi reiterated that Mange misled him and that he did not believe he was voting to establish one hauler per district. He also accused Stenger of "lying" about the matter.
"What (Stenger) is talking about is a bill that came down at the last minute, five minutes, 52 pages long that a councilmember leaned over to me and told me everything I wanted in the legislation was going to be in there," Campisi said. "What he's doing is he's lying to you. He's been lying to you from the start. What he does is twist the truth. And the truth is what I voted for was to have districts that would have a Monday or a Wednesday trash pickup ... but you would have the choice (of) trash hauler within that district. And it was minimum standards that I voted for. It was not anything to do with one trash hauler per district. So he's lying to you from the start."
Mange publicly has stated to the County Council that he made no such assurances to Campisi.
While Stenger attacked Campisi's voting record, Campisi questioned Stenger's residential history in south county.
"There are documents that I think you need to know about of my opponent, Steve Stenger," Campisi said. "He lived in March of '07 in Cottleville. Then he says he owned or rented an apartment in south county. And then he lived in and bought a house in December of '07 in south county. Now, some of this would say that my opponent is a carpetbagger. I would agree. He's in the area, but what does he really know about south county? Nowhere near what I know."
Campisi was referring to the city of Cottleville's March 2007 Involuntary Annexation Plan of Intent for the Timberwood Trails Subdivision that stated Stenger, who serves as the city's prosecuting attorney, is "a Cottleville resident."
Stenger told the Call he has never lived in Cottleville, but owns rental property in that city with two partners. Stenger also said he meets the requirements of the County Charter to run for a County Council seat.
Section 2.020 of the County Charter states that a County Council member "... shall be a qualified voter and resident in his district for at least one year preceding his nomination."
Stenger's nomination as the Democratic candidate for the 6th District seat was effective as of the Aug. 8, 2008, primary.
With the charter's residential requirement in mind, Stenger said he moved back to south county "well before August'' in 2007.
"In the last six years, I've lived in and out of the district," Stenger said. "I lived in the district for about a year and a half back in 2006 or 2004 and then I moved back again in 2007 at some point ... I've been certified by the secretary of state. I've met all the qualifications necessary under the law. I'm a longtime resident of the area. I believe that John Campisi is grasping at straws."
Campisi said Stenger should provide documentation to prove he meets the residential requirement to run for County Council.
"Even if he just moved into the district ... he's still a carpetbagger no matter how you look at it," Campisi said. "He hadn't lived in south county. He may have just made the requirement, but he still has not lived in south county ... He still owns a house in Clayton."
County records show that Stenger owns two homes — one within the 6th District at 9322 Rambler Drive, 63123, and one in Clayton at 336 N. Forsyth Blvd., 63105.
Stenger said he owns multiple properties that he refurbishes and either sells for profit or rents.
As for the trash-district issue, Stenger disputed at last week's forum that he is "lying" about Campisi's December 2006 vote in favor of establishing trash districts.
"No. 1, I'm not lying," Stenger said. "Anyone here in this crowd can go check the council journals. It's not a lie. The question is did you (Campisi) vote for the trash bill or didn't you? Did you vote for the trash bill? Let's answer it."
"What I did was I voted for your right to have your own trash hauler is what I've done," Campisi said. "And by doing so, I think that you should have the right to have your own trash hauler."
After Stenger replied to Campisi's statement, the two candidates engaged in a heated exchange at the forum that drew cheers and jeers from those present.
"He's avoiding the answer to the question," Stenger said. "... He voted for the trash bill."
"No, I didn't," Campisi interjected. "I voted against it."
"No, you didn't ...," Stenger said. "You voted for the trash issue."
"You didn't listen," Campisi said.
"You simply voted for it," Stenger said.
"As a lawyer, you need to listen," Campisi said.
"I think you are not telling the truth," Stenger said.

New Delhi, July 25: India told the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on Friday it would only back a world-wide reform of customs rules if its demands on food security were implemented in the same time frame.
"India is of the view that the Trade Facilitation Agreement must be implemented only as part of a single undertaking, including the permanent solution on food security," Indian ambassador Anjali Prasad told a WTO meeting.
"My delegation is of the view that the adoption of the trade facilitation protocol be postponed till a permanent solution on public stockholding for food security is found."
South Africa and Argentina supported India's stand. The WTO was supposed to finalise the protocol by July 31 under an agreement reached among trade ministers in Bali last December.
Some estimates say the reforms in customs rules can add $1 trillion to the world economy and create 21 million jobs.
US ambassador to the WTO, Michael Punke, said Delhi's stance could derail the whole process of world trade liberalisation. "Today we are extremely discouraged that a small handful of members in this organisation are ready to walk away from their commitments at Bali, to kill the Bali agreement."
India, however, said, "The country's expectations have been belied by the developments after the Bali ministerial. A clear will to engage in areas of interest to developing countries is conspicuously absent. To make matters worse, persistent efforts are being made to subvert the mandate by divesting it of its core elements."
In a statement made in Geneva, where the 160 members of the WTO are meeting, India emphasised that a solution to the food subsidy issue was "important so that millions of farmers and poor families do not have to live in constant fear. To jeopardise the food security of millions at the altar of a mere anomaly of rules is unacceptable".
"India is suggesting that let us start work in the right earnest on these issues and review the progress in October. The Committee on Agriculture can do back-to-back meetings for this," a senior commerce ministry official said.
India feels a permanent deal on food stockpiling must be in place by the end of 2014, not by 2017 as previously agreed.
"While there has been progress on Trade Facilitation Agreement, other decisions, including a decision on public stockholding have been sidelined," commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Parliament in a written reply today.
"Till there is an assurance and visible outcomes... India would find it difficult to join the consensus on the trade protocol," she added.
On missing the deadline of July 31, the ministry official said: "We can defer the time... We are not saying that we want to postpone it to eternity."
On the allegations that India was blocking the WTO's Bali deal, the official said: "We have not blocked the deal. If that will be the interpretation, God knows how many times WTO has been blocked."
"No body said the WTO was blocked in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, or in 2013. Every time some country — a developed one — put its foot down and said no," the official added.
India is concerned that no movement has taken place on finding a permanent solution and developed countries could run away with an agreement on trade facilitation if the two are not linked.
The current WTO norms limit the value of food subsidies at 10 per cent of the total value of foodgrain production. However, the support is calculated at the prices that are over two-decade old.
"The developed nations must be told in clear terms that the issue of farmers' security and welfare of the poor is not negotiable," Assocham said.

Batch Files
Q: I am concerned about the recent (12/28/04) WMF vulnerability. What can I do to protect myself?
A: If your computer is attached to the ad.texas.net or ad.datafoundry.com domain, you are automatically protected. Group policy will install a "patch" when you logon or logoff as well as when you reboot or shutdown your computer. If you are not connected to the domain, or want to ensure that the "patch" is applied run the following command
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
And you can run the following to undo this fix.
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Q: I am trying to delete a file on my local machine and I recieve an "Access Denied" error. How can I change the permissions for this file
A: In most cases, this is due to your permissions being set to low. To change permissions for a file, or group of files, right click and choose properties. Then click the Security tab. If you recieve a warning that you do not have access to change permissions, then you need to first take ownership of the files. Otherwise, simply place checkmarks that correspond to the functionality that you need for that file. In order to delete a file, you will need to have at least Modify level permission. To take ownership of a file, click the Advanced button on the security tab. Then click the Owner tab. The windows displays the current owner, and the users that may take ownership. Simply choose the user you want to take ownership and click OK. Some notes about inheritence. Files and folders inherit the security settings of the parent which they were created within. So if File C is inside of Folder C, file C will have Folder C's permissions. This can be overridden by clearing a checkmark in the Advanced Security section. The same things apply to ownership. Conversly, you can force child objects to inherit the new permissions you set on a folder by checking the appropriate box.
Q: How can I determine what version and service pack of Windows I am running?
A: Click Start/Run (or press the windows key + R) and type winver. You can also get detailed system information by typing winmsd. The Windows System Information tool is also available from the Start Menu under Accessories/System Tools.
Q: How can I determine what Environment Variables are set for my machine and what their values are?
A: Open and command prompt and type 'set" without quotes. This will return all current environment variables and their paths.
Q: How can I start, stop, or restart a service remotely?
A: Open the computer management console. You can find this under Control Panel/Administrative tools; You can also start the tool by right clicking My Computer and choosing Manage; or you can type the following at the run or command prompt.
In the computer management console on the toolbar click Action/Connect to Another Computer. Enter the computer name you want to manage and click OK. You can now now expand services and start, stop or restart a service. NOTE: In some cases you may need to open management console with alternate user credentials. Windows allows you to do this by holding down shift and right clicking Computer Management in the Control Panel/Administrative Tools folder and clicking runas; or you can type the following where username is your windows login.
runas /user:domain\username compmgmt.msc
Q: How can I browse folders with Alternate User credentials?
A: Windows Explorer does not provide the facility to use the runas command in order to supply alternate credentials when accessing files. There is a workaround though. You must use Internet Explorer instead. Internet Explorer can also do file browsing and will also allow you to execute with alternate credentials. In order to do so, you need to hold down the shift key while right clicking the Internet Explorer shortcut. You will see runas… in the context menu. Click this and a dialog will present you with login options. You can then use alternate credentials to access your files.
Q: How can I delete documents from the print queue that have already been deleted?
A: If you have deleted a printing job but it won't go away, try
Windows Server 2003
Q: I have a backup scheduled to run, but when I check the scheduled task associated with the schedule, it reports: Last Result 0x1f and fails.
A: This is due to insufficient permisssions on the target directory that you are saving the backup to. Give the user that is running the task write permissions on this directory and this task will succeed with a 0×0 code.
Q: I have WSUS configured on my W2K3 Server with SP1 applied. My clients are configured with Group Policy to connect to the server for updates. In the C:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log file I see following error:
WARNING: Failed to synchronize, error = 0x80244008
A: From the affected client browse to http://servername/ClientWebService/client.asmx and note any errors. Repeat the steps for http://servername/SimpleAuthWebService/SimpleAuth.asmx. If runtime errors occur, ensure that ASP.net services have been installed on the server.
Q: The WSUS admin page is not displaying correctly and reports:
System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).error CS2001: Source file
A: This is due to Network Service account not having proper permissions on the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Add this user with List Folder/Read Data and Delete permissions.
Q: My client was created using Imaging software and is not reporting to WSUS for updates
A: According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555452 the problem is that duplicate registry entries are created on each of the cloned machines. The same KB has a batch file that can be run to delete the entries, and recreate them.
Q: What is Distributed File Services (DFS)
A: DFS is a Microsoft technology that allows you consolidate file
shares across multiple servers into a highly available, and easy to use
What it's good for:

Find (NONE) Folder in the list and highlight it. Click the Advanced
button. If your issue is the same, explore will be bold. Change it back to open, by clicking on open, then clicking the Set
Default button. Open should now be bold.
Q: What is Offline File Synchronization?
A: Offline files are used to allow you access to files located on a
network resource when you are not connected to the network. For
example: You have a laptop that has a drive mapped to a server share
where you store documents. When you are connected to the corporate LAN,
you have access to these files and can edit them directly. When you
disconnect from the LAN you lose access to these files; but you have a
local cache of the the same files that you can work with if your
Offline File Synchronization is enabled. Changes made to these files
are saved in this local cache and upon reconnection the corporate LAN
all changes are synced to the original location on the server share.
Q: How can I stop using Offline File Synchronization?
A: You can control how Offline Files are handled by changing the settings in the Control Panel/Folder Options Applet and choose the Offline Files tab. Once you are here, you can clear the check mark next to "Enable Offline Files". All synchronization will stop at this point.
Q: How can I determine my logon server? (What Domain Controller do I authenticate against?)
A: Open a command prompt and type:
You will have a list of your environmental variables, one of which is LOGONSERVER=ServerName
Q: How can I compare two columns of data and indicate differences between the two?
A: You can use conditional formatting to highlight the differences.

Q: How do I assign a task to another user and make sure it is completed?
A: You can use the Task Request object.
Q: How do I schedule a meeting with multiple participants?
A: You can use the Meeting Request object.
Q: How do I install the security certificate so that I am not prompted with the Security Warning when I start Outlook
A: In order to trust the certificate that is used to identify the mail server, you must install the proper Certification Authority (CA) certificate. If you double click the certificate, you will be shown it's details. Here you can click the Install Certificate button. Choose to have it automatically placed in the appropriate store. When you open Outlook the next time, you will not be prompted to accept the Security Certificate.
Q: How can I move my Thunderbird profile from one user account to another?
A: A folder that contains all of your profile information for Thunderbird is created in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Thunderbird. Move (or copy) the entire Thunderbird folder to the same location for the new user.
Q: I have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi installed in my laptop and sometimes lose connectivity
A: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN using 802.11b or 802.11g) both operate in the 2.4 ghz spectrum. Bluetooth uses frequecny hopping and will address the entire range of the 2.4 ghz spectrum. Wi-Fi will use Digital Spread Spectrum and uses only a portion of the 2.4 ghz spectrum determined by the channel selected for that device. The issue is further complicated when you have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antennae in close proximity. No real solution exists aside from using 5 ghz Wi-Fi (802.11A). Note that cordless phones, microwaves, and even lightning can cause this EMI (electro-magnetic interference.)

Comedian Tim Wilson Dies at 52 – Was a Fixture on Evansville Radio and the Old Funny Bone Comedy Club
Comedian Tim Wilson has died of an apparent heart attack…he was 52. Wilson was a staple on the radio in the Evansville area as a regular performer on The Bob and Tom Show, heard every weekday morning on our sister station, 103 GBF. Wilson was best known for his southern style-humor and for his country parody songs like "Garth Brooks Ruined My Life" and the "First Baptist Bar & Grill".
Wilson was also a regular and local favorite at the old Funny Bone Comedy Club, which used to be located in Eastland Place on Green River Road. It was always a big night when Wilson was in town and usually a sold-out show. Wilson's down-home style made him one of the most relatable comedians on the circuit in my opinion.
I had the good fortune of interviewing Wilson many times over the years and I can honestly say, that I have never met anyone who was quicker with a line than Tim Wilson. No matter what you threw at him, he would immediately come back with a line that would put you on the floor.
Tim Wilson will be remembered by me as not only a great comedian, but a truly good guy. He was one of most approachable, down to Earth stars I have ever met and he will be greatly missed.Thank you for the laughs Tim, rest in peace my friend. If you listen close, you might actually hear the angels laughing. Check out a live performance of the "First Baptist Bar & Grill" below.

Should Science Education be based on Science and free from religion?
3 comments
Tim Standish commented
This seems like an ignorant question. Science is based on metaphysics, always has been and is inseparable from untestable metaphysical assumptions. The interesting question would be how our future president sees the interface between science and religion, metaphysics or whatever you want to call it. My wish is that science education did a better job of helping students to see the assumptions necessary to do science and how they are impacted by various belief systems.
Nancy England commented
Several thousand years of history has proved that religion will not keep up with science and as long as there are Bible-thumpers (or Koran thumpers etc), it won't.
Dileep V. Sathe commented
Yes, I strongly feel that Science Education should be based on *Science* only and it has to be *absolutely* free from religion. I am seeing, for more than 50 years, how religions make insolvable mess.

While browsing cocktail recipes, trying to come up with something for this lovely Cocktail Thursday, I ran across several reviews (amateur and professional) of Tanqueray No. 10 that commented on its citrus notes. Since No. 10 is my "starter gin" and the only one that I keep in the liquor cabinet (for now), I decided to play on that. We have a couple of grapefruits from our CSA in the fridge, so I decided to go with the Freshly Pressed, a grapefruit-and-gin concoction.
This is one classy gin and juice. The citrus and gin go together so well, they practically seem to intertwine in your mouth. It's mildly sweet, but far from cloying.
As the hubby pointed out, it is a pretty pink drink, but that's all natural beauty. He claimed he could never order it in a bar… but I've seen him do worse.
- juice of one grapefruit (about 4 oz)
- 2 oz gin, preferably Tanqueray No. 10 (or another mild gin with citrus notes)
- ¼ oz light agave nectar

January Jones: I should have planned
January Jones believes behaving positively is enough to get someone through life.
The actress starred in a series of films before landing her part as Betty Draper in hit show Mad Men. Things have turned out very positively for the star, but she sometimes wonders if she should have had more structure to her life.
"I tell myself I should have a strategy for life but I don't," she smiled to the British edition of OK! magazine. "I believe in Karma and good fortune, though. If you live life in a positive, constructive manner, good things will come your way."
Mad Men is finishing this year, so January can now concentrate on new projects and her three-year-old son Xander. She's learnt a lot over her time in the industry but it was the birth of her child that had the biggest impact.
"I've become a better person and becoming a mother has opened up a whole new world to me," she beamed. "I feel I've become a better friend, too. When you do a TV show for so long you live in a bubble, so I've learned to value real relationships. I've been blessed, I have no complaints really."
January has never revealed the identity of Xander's father and admits that being a single mother can pose a challenge. However, she assured that she manages and she's happy to make sacrifices for her son's wellbeing.

Research Interest:
Calcium nephrolithiasis remains a frequent and serious cause of morbidity and health care costs. As is well known, urinary citrate is the most important inhibitor of calcium stones in the kidney because citrate, a tricarboxylate, keeps calcium soluble in the urine. The regulation of citrate transport in the kidney has received inadequate investigation and remains poorly understood at the cell and molecular level. Urinary citrate excretion is primarily determined by its fractional reabsorption in the proximal tubule. The dicarboxylate transporter (NaDC1) cloned by Pajor has been considered the main mechanism of apical reabsorption of filtered citrate. Knockout mice, without NaDC1, are viable with normal kidney anatomy, have no severe phenotype, and appear to have significant residual citrate reabsorption. Our recently published studies in OK cells demonstrate a novel mechanism which may explain the remaining citrate reabsorption. This mechanism is sensitive to calcium and magnesium by decreasing citrate transport with increasing concentrations of these ions, and may explain the increase in citrate excretion with increases in urinary calcium found in vivo in both humans and animals. In our published studies utilizing OK (opossum kidney) cells and in our preliminary studies utilizing mouse S1 and S2 proximal tubule cell lines, citrate transport increases significantly when apical calcium is acutely decreased. Thus, our in vitro studies correspond to the in vivo observations made decades ago in humans, demonstrating that urinary citrate normally increases with urinary calcium. This physiological process is a key mechanism that prevents calcium stone formation. We have shown NaDC1 is not sensitive to calcium. What is not known is how the level of calcium in the urine regulates the transport of citrate and the contributions of the known and novel transporters. Without this knowledge we will not be able effectively target citrate transport to protect against nephrolithiasis.
Our long-term goal is to understand the physiological mechanisms leading to the development of calcium stones in order to discover treatment and prevention strategies. Our overall objective is to determine the mechanisms and regulation of apical citrate transport via a novel apical calcium-sensitive transporter, and the relative roles of NaDC1, NaDC3 and SLC26A6. Our central hypothesis is that the novel apical calcium-sensitive citrate reabsorptive process limits citrate transport in the proximal tubule when calcium is increased. This hypothesis is based on our published and preliminary data. The rationale that underlies this line of research is that the elucidation of previously unidentified citrate transporters can potentially lead to new methods of specific inhibition of proximal reabsorption of citrate, enabling increase of urinary citrate and inhibition of calcium stone formation. Our expected outcomes will establish new paradigms in understanding citrate reabsorption in the kidney proximal tubule, and how these paradigms are impacted in acidosis and hypercalciuria. These outcomes are expected to have an important impact since understanding the regulation of citrate transport in the proximal tubule will dramatically improve strategies in the prevention of calcium stones.

Parents United for Public Education has won its state Right To Know request to gain public access to the list of 60 schools identified by the Boston Consulting Group for closure and to the firm's criteria for school closings -- a request for information that the District has consistently denied to the public.
Last spring, the Boston Consulting Group came under intense criticism for a plan that promoted school closings, massive charter expansion, and privatization of key functions within the District, such as transportation. Under its multimillion-dollar contract with the William Penn Foundation, BCG agreed to provide the foundation a number of "contract deliverables," one of which was identifying 60 schools for closure. The "BCG list" was referred to by former Chief Recovery Officer Thomas Knudsen in public statements, but District officials had refused to release the list, stating that it was an internal document and therefore protected from public review.
In December 2012, Parents United filed a complaint with the City Ethics Board about whether the contract between the William Penn Foundation and BCG amounted to lobbying (as opposed to philanthropy). Shortly after, with help from the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, we decided to pursue the BCG list of school closings and criteria with the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records.
Our question was simple: Given the fact that Boston Consulting Group had a contract with the William Penn Foundation and not the District, could the District prove that BCG's school-closings list had never been shared with anyone else? Had it truly been kept internal?
The District provided two affidavits from Chief Counsel Michael Davis and Knudsen, both of whom failed to answer the question. As the OOR ruling states:
However, the affidavits do not clearly address whether the William Penn Foundation, the party that paid for Boston's services, had access to the withheld records. The OOR specifically requested whether the William Penn Foundation, or any other third party, had access to the withheld records. ... It is the District's burden to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, each element of a claimed exemption. Based on the evidence before it, the OOR cannot conclude that the withheld records were "internal" to the District.
Why should this matter to us?
The closing of 24 schools was the single most important issue of the year. Throughout most of the decision-making process, the public was kept purposefully in the dark. The District argued that it was working closely with consultants to create an internal list that it would share with the public when it was ready. But what if others had access to that list? What if others had a chance to weigh in, shape the criteria, vet the list before it became a public announcement? That should matter and matter deeply to all of us.
It is absolutely the public's right to know what's in those documents, especially when BCG officials made contractual "deliverable" promises and had unfettered access to top District leaders to promote their list of school closings. It doesn't matter whether the BCG list became the final list. It matters that the District has failed to understand how the lines separating public good from private interests have been blurred, if not crossed, on issues of dramatic importance to parents, students, and community members.
This situation is not unique.
In December 2012, Newark parents won a Right to Know case gaining access to communications between the mayor's office and officials from Facebook who donated over $100 million to reform Newark schools. The parents argued they had a right to know whether Newark leaders, including Mayor Cory Booker, had promised Facebook officials how the donation would be spent ahead of a public process.
We pursued this case because we believe school reform relies on transparency and a vibrant public process. As soon as the District releases the list, we will publish the full list and the criteria on the Parents United website.

Date: May 21 2013
Sonny Bill Williams has paid tribute to coach Trent Robinson for transforming the Sydney Roosters into the most miserly defensive unit in the NRL and helping him to fine-tune his own game.
Last year under former coach Brian Smith, only wooden spooners Parramatta conceded more points than the Roosters. But after 10 rounds this year under NRL rookie Robinson, the tricolours boast the best defence in the competition, conceding only 9.4 points a game. Last season, they conceded 27 points a game.
"It's a privilege to be playing alongside guys that are digging in week in, week out, giving their all, busting their guts and not taking any short cuts," Williams said on Tuesday.
"It's only early days but we have laid the platform to start the year and a lot of that comes down to Trent. Not only is he a good bloke, he is a good coach and I have learnt a lot from him.
"He is very intense but knows when to relax, too. I'm really enjoying learning from him. Defensively, it has taught me a lot about my work off the ball and on really working on those one percenters."
The eastern suburbs-based club face another stern test of their reborn premiership credentials on Saturday night when they face premiers Melbourne at Allianz Stadium.
The Storm ended a two-game losing streak in Monday night's draw with Manly, while the Roosters have won five straight including back-to-back away wins over the Sea Eagles and North Queensland.
"We have had a few wins on the trot but Melbourne are a big one," Williams said.
"They will be hurting after a couple of losses and the draw and they will be looking to try and patch things up. They will be up for it. It will be really good to see where we are at, at this stage of the season."
Williams said he was looking forward to coming up against Melbourne's 'Big Three' in Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater for the first time.
"They are the benchmark, those guys," Williams said.
"When I was a bit younger, maybe the occasion would have got to me sometimes but now I'm a bit older and a bit wiser and I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm sure I'll be a bit nervous but excited as well. Hopefully we will get a big crowd because it should be a good game."

A jury on Tuesday convicted a La Plata County man of multiple felonies in an unusual case that involved years of domestic violence, animal cruelty and branding women with a hot iron.
Prosecutors said Louie Lucero, 51, faces a minimum of 22 years in prison with mandatory sentencing guidelines. He was convicted of 14 counts, including felony assault, false imprisonment, motor-vehicle theft, violation of a protection order and cruelty to animals.
Lucero, wearing khakis and a sports coat, looked down as each guilty verdict was read by 6th Judicial District Judge David Dickinson.
He shook hands with two public defenders Faith Winstead and Katie Telfer before being led out of the courtroom in handcuffs. He showed no emotion. He has been in custody at the La Plata County jail for more than a year.
Prosecutors said Lucero faces a maximum sentence of about 72 years in prison. Criminal offenders typically serve about 75 percent of their prison terms in the state Department of Corrections before being eligible for early release on good behavior.
Sentencing is set for 1:30 p.m. April 27 in District Court.
Deputy District Attorney Rachel Bromberg accused Lucero of a pattern of domestic violence dating to at least 2000 and involving three women.
Defense lawyers attacked the creditability of the women, faulted the criminal investigation and said prosecutors failed to meet their burden of proof.
This is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt not even close, Winstead said.
Included in testimony:
Lucero broke the arms of two different women with whom he was intimately involved. He twisted it like a dish towel, breaking the arm, Bromberg said of one of the victims. The other woman suffered a broken arm after she tried to block Lucero from hitting her over the head with a television remote control.
He used a toilet plunger to strike a woman in the ribs, legs and head after she broke a drier or washing machine. He also slammed her head into a mirror, causing a scar.
He inflicted mental abuse, terrifying women by pointing a loaded gun at one and methodically loading and unloading a rifle in front of another. He dug holes in a backyard and told a woman one of the holes could be her grave.
He slammed a womans head into the concrete at least 10 times. She warned Lucero he was about to kill her, and he slammed her head into the concrete one more time.
He tortured one of his victims heeler-mix dog named Blue the only thing that mattered to her by picking the dog up by one leg and tossing her, which broke her leg. He also chained the dog to the ground with a padlock, deprived it of food and water, and stuffed its head into a drain pipe and let ice-cold water flow over its head.
He used a hot iron to brand his initials into two women. One woman said it was consensual. The other allowed him to brand her buttocks, but she refused to let him brand her breasts. She awoke to find a hot iron pressed into her breast.
Not all of the incidents were charged; some were allowed to be shared with jurors so prosecutors could demonstrate a cycle of domestic violence.
The trial started Feb. 13. Closing arguments were made Tuesday, and jurors deliberated for less than three hours before reaching their verdict.
Jurors were shown pictures of two women who looked bruised and strangled. Jurors also were shown the wire Lucero used to brand the letter L into a womans breast and buttocks.

Lumie light therapy to beat the winter blues
Now's the time to start using light therapy if you want to beat the winter blues, says Cambridge-based light therapy specialist Lumie.
As we prepare for the back-to-school routine, up to 24% of us start to feel the onset of winter blues and don't feel back to normal until April. Of that 24%, around 7% of Northern Europeans are so badly affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) that they struggle to function normally. The main symptoms are:
- Sleep problems – oversleeping but not refreshed, unable to get out of bed, needing an afternoon nap
- Overeating – carbohydrate craving leading to weight gain
- Depression, despair, misery, guilt, anxiety – normal tasks become frustratingly difficult
- Family/social problems – avoiding company, irritability, loss of libido, feeling emotionally 'numb'
- Lethargy – too tired to cope and finding everything an effort
- Physical symptoms – often joint pain or stomach problems, lowered resistance to infection
- Behavioural problems – especially in young people
Most of us know SAD is caused by the lack of bright light in winter; daybreak light is the signal for the pineal gland to stop producing the sleep hormone melatonin but, in winter, the light level is insufficient to trigger this process. Light therapy provides a level of light equal to the brightness on a clear spring morning. This equates to approx. 2,000 lux, the technical measure of brightness, which is about five times brighter than a well-lit office. Just 30 minutes' sitting in front of a bright light like this is enough to alleviate SAD symptoms for most people.
Lumie has been developing bright lights to treat SAD since 1991 and its products are based on published research and designed at its base in Cambridge. Its team also offers a wealth of advice and support, including access to an online forum for SAD sufferers and research.
"Our recommendation is to prepare now for the slump in energy that many of us feel in the winter months. If you already use a bright light it's a good idea to test your bulbs and order replacements if necessary. If you think you might benefit from light therapy but don't know where to start, please feel free to contact us for advice. We also offer a 30 day free home trial so you can try it out at no risk." Jonathan Cridland, CEO, Lumie.
"Although we don't fully understand the mechanisms whereby light can regulate our mood, there is strong evidence showing that supplementary light in the autumn and winter months can help alleviate some of the symptoms of the 'winter blues' and Seasonal Affective Disorder." Professor Russell G Foster, Director, Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, University of Oxford.
*Data based on an ICM Survey conducted for Lumie in 2007/8 in which 2,000 people in the UK were polled.

Lung Cancer
Calcium deposits from tumor on lung
my brother has undergone tests for a tumour found on his lung, after undergoing several biopsys and a CT scan we are no further forward to receiving a prognosis. However it has been found that the tumour is round in shape and there are calcium deposits on the lung, further tests are scheduled for later this week. Does this mean he does not have lung cancer?
A rounded tumor with calcium deposits or calcification usually is benign. It could be from a fungal infection, especially in the Midwest area. However, if the tumor was irregular or spiculated, malignancy would be a concern. We need other tests to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Your physician might have ordered fungal serologies (Fungal blood test). Depending on the size and location a bronchoscopy (Where we can go inside the lung with a camera) may be another test. A timed contrast CT study to rule out a vascular lesion (benign tumor) is another possibility.

LIVINGSTON, Texas - The search for a missing Magnolia man intensified Wednesday after his truck was found abandoned outside a motel in Livingston, but there was still no sign of James Earl Buckner.
Buckner, 57, was reported missing July 10 by his wife Kathy Buckner. She last heard from him two nights earlier when he called her from his motel room in Waco to say goodnight.
"He just said goodnight. He was tucked in and when he was on the road he typically did that when he got in hotel room so I would know he was safe." Kathy Buckner said.
Her husband frequently traveled for his job, selling valves for water treatment plants. But she said he always let her know where he was.
James Buckner was last seen around 11:30 p.m. July 9 at a Valero store in Montgomery, on the corner of F.M. 105 and F.M. 149, not far from his home.
The next day, a co-worker called his wife after he missed a business meeting. Kathy Buckner, who had also been away from home the previous two days, reported his disappearance to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department.
"This is very out of character for him, to not be in touch, to not show up for work, to disappear." she said.
Texas Equusearch traced James Buckner's cellphone to Livingston, with the help of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department. Volunteers initiated a search there Monday and discovered Buckner's truck parked outside a La Quinta motel at 440 U.S. 59 Loop South.
James Buckner had not stayed at the motel.
About a dozen Equusearch volunteers searched the area around the motel Wednesday with all-terrain vehicles, and an airborne drone equipped with a camera. Search director Jack Boggess no sign of Buckner was found.
James Buckner's wife said in the time he's been missing, he missed the birth for their first granddaughter and the couple's 32nd wedding anniversary.
Police in Montgomery and Polk counties are searching for him.

For a complete list of other roller coasters with the name, "Space Mountain", see Space Mountain (Disambiguation).
Space Mountain is a Vekoma indoor roller coaster located at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. It has a similar track design that of Space Mountain in Disney's Magic Kingdom. The ride's theming involves space traveling from a distant part of the universe back to the home galaxy. During the Halloween season, the ride's theme is changed to "Ghost Galaxy". Space Mountain has an on-board sound system. When the ride originally opened in 1977, it was the first roller coaster in the world to be completely controlled by computers. Starting in 2003 until 2005, the roller coaster went through major refurbishment which replaced almost everything including props, lines, trains, music, and a track that was almost identical to the last. It is mostly dark, with some lights.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.0953 or 91.30 U.S. cents * Bond prices lower across the maturity curve By Leah Schnurr TORONTO, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was slightly weaker against the greenback on Wednesday after hitting another four-year low in overnight trade as investors were wary that the Bank of Canada could turn more dovish at its upcoming policy meeting. The loonie has been on a downward trend since late October when the central bank abandoned any talk of rate hikes in its policy statement after 18 months of signaling that tightening was on the horizon. The selloff has intensified in recent sessions, fueled by disappointing economic data last week that helped send the currency through key technical barriers. In the first two weeks of 2014, the U.S. dollar has appreciated more than 3 percent against the Canadian currency. Some profit taking limited Wednesday's decline, but attention was turning toward next week's meeting of the Bank of Canada. Market expectations are building that the central bank could further soften its policy statement and perhaps step toward an outright easing bias, said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at TD Securities in Toronto. "I think myself it's a little too early to expect that, I think the Bank's going to want to see more evidence on the inflation front before it takes that move," said Osborne. "But given the way Governor Poloz seems to be steering the policy supertanker at the moment, there's very definitely a risk of a shift at some point in the next few months." Bank of Canada chief Stephen Poloz earlier this month said the central bank should keep its key interest rate on hold until economic data persuades it otherwise. The Canadian dollar was at C$1.0953 to the greenback, or 91.30 U.S. cents, slightly weaker than Tuesday's close of C$1.0948, or 91.34 U.S. cents. The Canadian dollar earlier traded as far as C$1.0992, its lowest level since September 2009. Strength in the U.S. dollar also pressured the loonie after U.S. producer prices rose in December, while separate data showed manufacturing activity in New York state jumped this month. The U.S. dollar index was up 0.5 percent. Canadian government bond prices were lower across the maturity curve, with the two-year off half Canadian cent to yield 1.059 percent and the benchmark 10-year down 13 Canadian cents to yield 2.601 percent.

The popular open-source operating system Ubuntu is coming to smartphones.
Canonical, Ubuntu's commercial sponsor, announced its new smartphone interface on Tuesday. The company will be holding a press call later today, and showing off the OS at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month.
This isn't Ubuntu's first foray into devices outside of the desktop. Over the last few years, Canonical has spent time investing in Ubuntu for TV sets and building out its cloud infrastructure. Over the last 18 months, Ubuntu has shifted into integrating more touch-friendly controls and better touchscreen support into Ubuntu on the desktop.
With Ubuntu for phones, it appears that Canonical wants to offer OEMs an alternative to Android on both the high and low ends of the market. Canonical is also going to target the enterprise, where it can offer corporate customers a way to offer thin-client, PC and phone functionality from one profile.
Although manufacturers and carrier partners haven't been announced, the company expects the first devices to ship in early 2014.
Ubuntu for phones joins Sailfish and Samsung's Bada as operating systems looking to take on the giant that is Android.
Below is a video released by Ubuntu:

Boring Is Beautiful
I am getting increasingly cautious on the overall market amid uncertainty from the fiscal cliff, lack of resolution in Europe and the upcoming elections. Also disconcerting are the continued declines in the world's manufacturing indices, as well as the first negative monthly Institute for Supply Management survey since 2009. That's not to mention the recent downward second-quarter gross domestic product revision to an anemic 1.3%.
I think discretion is the better part of valor here. One defensive sector I still like -- due to its reasonable valuations, low betas and reliable earnings streams -- is the generic drug area. It may be boring, but it should perform well even in this economic uncertainty....417 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

It is Indonesia's largest military campaign since the invasion of East Timor in 1975. And it may prove just as ignominious. The huge assault by Indonesian troops on separatist guerillas in Aceh is failing. A promised "final victory" is no closer at hand. The extension of martial law in Aceh last week and a new strategy of divide and rule now casts the dark shadow of East Timor over the Aceh campaign. As the Herald has revealed, military commanders have begun recruiting locals to pro-Indonesian militia squads, pitting the Acehnese people against each other in a way not seen before in almost three decades of conflict.
The militia strategy was widely employed during Indonesian's 24-year occupation of East Timor, with tragic results. Those East Timorese who could be swayed to support the Indonesian military were armed and trained. They enjoyed the privileges of consorting with power, even if this meant only that their families were spared the intimidation and abuse visited so regularly upon those who supported the independence cause.
Indigenous militia groups committed some of the most serious human rights abuses in East Timor. Though they did this under the direction of the Indonesian military, Jakarta was able to distance itself from many of the worst atrocities and to argue that the relentless, debilitating violence was evidence of bitter, local rivalries, not opposition to Indonesian rule. Local militia groups played a major role in the carnage which followed the referendum on independence in 1999. In small, rural communities such deep scars are slow to heal.
Aceh's new militia members says they are unarmed and only want the war to end. They are, however, endorsed by the Indonesian military and have threatened monitors from Indonesia's independent human rights body, Komnas Ham. Certainly, the Acehnese people are exhausted by war. It is also true that abuses have been committed by both sides. However, the mass graves which dot the resource-rich northern province are undeniable evidence of a long-term pattern of military repression which dates back to Soeharto's authoritarian regime.
Such contempt for the lives and livelihood of the Acehnese people fuels the separatists' cause. When considered alongside the Indonesian military's determination to retain access to Aceh's valuable timber and gas resources, the future looks bleak. Earlier this month an illegal, army-backed logging operation triggered a landslide, which killed at least 250 people, including foreign tourists.
The international community has not supported the independence campaign by GAM, or the Free Aceh Movement, largely because Aceh - unlike East Timor - was incorporated into the modern Indonesian state at independence. GAM's strict adherence to Islamic law is also of concern, especially in Washington. This should not, however, prevent pressure being brought to bear on Jakarta over human rights abuses, autonomy, or the return of a fairer share of timber and gas profits to the province.
The irregular forces of GAM cannot win. Yet they cannot be defeated by force while the injustices which underlie their cause remain. This was the terrible lesson of East Timor. To think otherwise is to begin down a very long dark road.
Never a stranger to the roller coaster, Australian film is locked in a pincer of deteriorated funding and dissipation of creative energy. If it was not cinema's role to reflect a nation's self-image through the telling of its stories and the portrayal of its culture, the film industry malaise might be marked down as just another casualty of globalisation and the talent-drain. The industry's great hope, of course, is its history.
Australian film has stared down gun barrels before and evaded executions because governments acknowledged the broader cultural need and because Australians are a resilient and creative lot. The combination of landscape, history and isolation etched itself into enough people of talent and vision to kick start new cycles of creativity, each distinguished from forerunners but all articulating some aspect of what it is to be Australian. When successful, they became the prism through which the world came to view this land.
George Miller is an elder figure of Australian film, a successful and influential director and producer who prescribes more aggressive approaches to creativity as well as film funding. "We've got a lot of technical gymnasia but we don't have the creative gymnasia," he said this week in a lament about this latest downturn in Australian film. It's reflected across broader mimicry. As Dr Miller sees it, "we're becoming less and less like Australians and more and more like a kind of American".
Compounding the dismay is this poor box office year with its string of poorly executed and poorly funded lightweight comedies which tried to follow in the footsteps of earlier successes such as The Castle and The Dish. They failed to resonate with filmgoers and in the process seem to have discouraged Australians from attending the few better local efforts.
On the funding side, record low levels of foreign finance battered local film volume, with the number of Australian features slumping from 30 to 19 and their production value from $131 million to $49 million. The downturn in foreign films made here is likely to deepen with the acceleration of the Australian dollar and more vigorous wooing by Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and elsewhere.
That Australian film has again stalled is not cause for despair. But the bugles are blowing. If we ignore them, we risk losing more than jobs and investment, as important as they are.

Sponsor may be answer to AB game in Samoa
Sponsor may be answer to AB game in Samoa
Mangere MP Su'a William Sio has written to the New Zealand Rugby Union urging it give serious consideration to having the All Blacks play in Samoa and offering to help find a sponsor.
"You could not get a more loyal group of supporters for the All Blacks outside of New Zealand than the young people of Samoa and the Pacific general. The All Blacks are idolised in the Islands," Su'a William Sio said.
"I have written to CEO Steve Tew offering to work with him and the NZRU to try and find sponsors with an interest in the Pacific to support such a match taking place.
"While the Māori All Blacks and the Junior All Blacks, along with teams from both Scotland and Wales, have played a number of games in the Pacific, including Samoa, the All Blacks have never set foot on Samoan soil.
"There is no doubt that the NZ Rugby Union is a strong supporter of rugby in the Pacific, hosting rugby development workshops in both the Pacific countries and here at home.
"However, when the All Blacks turned down an invitation from the Samoa Prime Minister, who is also the Chairman of the Samoa Rugby Union to play the Manu Samoa during its 50th Independence celebrations in 2012, and then hearing lately that the NZRU will play against the USA rugby team later this year, this was taken by many Samoans as a slap in the face.
"I accept there are major commercial constraints around an All Black visit to Samoa and that there would be issues with broadcasting, but I am confident those concerns can be worked through once a sponsor puts their hand up.
"I will be visiting Samoa next week with
a government delegation and will explore further options
with the Samoa Rugby Union to see if we can make this

"The issue at this stage is not whether we have the tools to help support economic activity and guard against disinflation. We do. The issue is instead whether, at any given juncture, the benefits of each tool, in terms of additional stimulus, outweigh the associated costs or risks of using each tool." – Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
Those illustrious comments from Fed Chairman Bernanke at last year's unofficial Fed policy meeting may be heard again at this week's Jackson Hole symposium as a means to soften the market up for something firm on the unconventional policy front. The market is on pins and needles at present, following the return of whack-a-doo trading conditions, where tight correlations between equities have made stock-picking and bottom-calling exercises sucker's games. Market-goers are so desperately yearning to hear their bearded daddy signal the risk-reward of doing more quantitative easing that it has shifted to the point of calling into question the Fed's adherence to its dual mandate. In layman's terms, there is downside risk to price stability (deflation) and employment from the weakening economic outlook that is now starting to become self-reinforcing.
Either way, welcome to the "Twilight Zone," people -- the Jackson Hole episode is likely to be a true black-and-white classic. It spins a tale of an enormously important governing body with an absurd amount of unchecked power appearing to sweep in to save Mother Earth from the economic perils associated with see-sawing stock prices. Initially, the actions of the government work stupendously (stock prices rise, and rise, and rise). Upon further inspection the governing body planted alien eggs in the ground that were scheduled to hatch at a future date and run amok on the planet. The alien eggs in this particular episode is the pure unconventional nature of out of the box Fed efforts to juice risk assets, which in my opinion does more long-run harm than good. Milton Friedman would agree as well.
Not to sound like Ron Paul, but it's disturbing to watch a government entity with the power of the Fed holding this degree of sway over our economic fortunes. Is the Bernanke Fed a 12-member policy voting machine designed to recklessly boost stock prices to promote the wealth effect? It's madness.
If you think I am being dramatic, here is a recent comment below from Dennis Lockhart, who is the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. "I'm most concerned about the effect of the wild stock market on consumer spending. Volatility alone could have a negative impact on consumer psychology at a time of already weakening spending."
What the Market Wants
Comments along these lines would be welcome: "There is little or no potential conflict between the goals of supporting growth and employment and of maintaining price stability." This would be much stronger language than the slight hint given by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in its recent statement. I wonder if Bernanke even knows whether he will come to Jackson Hole guns blazing, instead having a few different speeches handy each of which is dependent on how the economic data this week unfolds. Eerily, we will receive another snapshot into GDP this week, similar to Jackson Hole 2010. (Some estimates are calling for $500 billion to $600 billion in additional bond buying.)
Jackson Hole: One Year Ago
Stocks initially reacted negatively to Bernanke's speech, but the Dow finished up close to 165 points on the session. This time around the market is digesting in a volatile manner issues that are worse than a year earlier -- but we were still AAA rated then, after all.

Mary Sarah Harman
b.21 Nov 1840 Greater London, England
d.19 Nov 1875 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, USA
Family tree▼
m. 18 Jul 1836
m. 5 Jun 1861
Facts and Events
BEP Mary Sarah was born on a chilly day 21st November 1840 in London, Middlesex, England. Her father, Joseph Harmon was born the 22nd October 1816 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England was a shoemaker by trade. He died on the 6th August 1890 in Saint George, Utah. Her mother, Mary Smith, was born on the 18th November 1823 in New Castle-on-Tyne, Northumberland, England and died on the 4th March 1878 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Mary Sarah had one older brother, George Joseph Harmon Born on the 10th June 1836 and one younger sister Elizabeth born on the 5th October 1845, both also born in London, Middlesex, England.
While living in England Mary Sarah's family met the Latter-day-Saint Missionaries and became interested in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her father Joseph, was baptized on the 27th January 1855. The information we have is that Mary Sarah was baptized on the 2nd March 1855. We are not sure when her mother Mary was baptized but she was re- baptized later when she went to St. George and other members of her family were baptized also.
The family began preparing for the trip to Utah soon after Baptism. Mother (Mary) and daughters, Mary Sarah and Elizabeth (of 49 Great Cambridge St. Hackney Road, London, England sailed from Liverpool, (notification date 15th November 1855) on the ship Emerald Isle. They arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1856 where the family lived for a number of years. Father (Joseph) and son George were not listed among the passengers but they most likely were working their way over for their passage on the ship.
While the family was living in Pennsylvania, Mary Sarah met a young man named Henry Augustus Baker. Henry was born in Philadelphia on the 8th August 1836. The "love-bug" did his job and they were married on the 5th June 1861 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Henry had been previously married to Sarah Lucille Vickery and they had a daughter, Emma Erilla, Born on the 19th November 1859. Lucille died the day after Emma was born on the 20th November 1859, so Mary Sarah became a mother very quickly. She loved little Emma Erilla as if she were her own. Mary Sarah was a very lovely young woman with beautiful dark hair very much like her mother.
Henry, Mary Sarah and Emma left Pennsylvania early in August 1862 and went to Florence, Nebraska and joined a group of Mormon Pioneers coming to Utah. They came across the plains to Utah in Ansel P. Harmon's ox-team Company. During the first 4-5 weeks after leaving the Missouri River, the group suffered much sickness, mainly measles. They lost twelve children to the measles. Also they had a couple of wagons up-set where they lost two more children and several adults were injured and many problems occurred along the trail, but they made it. They arrived in the Salt Lake territory on the 5th October 1862 (also see Church Journal History, Sept. 24 & Oct. 1862). They continued to live in Salt Lake City 13th Ward, about 3rd South and 3rd East, also in the 18th Ward. While in Salt Lake they had five children: Henry Augustus Harmon Baker on the 12th October 1863, then four girls: Mary Catherine Baker on the 10th November 1865, Suzanna Weir Baker on the 8th May 1867, Elizabeth Melvina Baker on the 1st Sept. 1869 and Isabelle Baker on the 21st February 1874.
Mary Sarah was called home to her Heavenly Father when the youngest was only two years old (Isabelle our Grandmother). The family was in the 18th Ward at that time. She was thirty-five years old. This was hard on Henry, not only to lose his second wife but still having a young family to raise. Emma, being the eldest was a big help to her father in helping with the younger children. The 1st son, Henry Augustus had passed away when he was not quite two years old so the five girls were left. Henry soon moved his family to Kelso, Idaho.
Mary Sarah was a wonderful woman and a very good mother She raised five beautiful girls, and I know because my Grandmother was one of them!

Crime Overruns Baghdad as Iraq Reconstruction Team Revamped
After only three weeks heading the reconstruction efforts in Iraq, Lieutenant General Jay Garner and other top officials were recently removed from duty. Garner will be replaced by L. Paul Bremer III, a counter-terrorism expert. Barbara Bodine, one of only three women in senior positions on the reconstruction team, was also removed from her position in Iraq, where she had been in charge of Baghdad and central Iraq. The State Department insists that her removal was a routine rotation, but Bodine told the Los Angeles Times she was given only three days to leave the country.
Meanwhile, insecurity and crime are plaguing the country and hampering reconstruction efforts. The new US team, under Bremer, are shifting their security strategy to one that relies on neighborhood patrols, the Times reports. However, the Washington Post reports that in many neighborhoods, troops are stretched thin and lack police training. "Everybody needs security, everywhere in Iraq. Where is it? We don't even know where to ask," said obstetrician- gynecologist Enas Hamdani, the Post reports. "Security, security, security - that's our mantra too. That's our number one priority," said US Army Major Jack Nales, according to the Post. "It's frustrating. We do not have the personnel or the training to be policemen. [I tell the Iraqis] 'I'm sorry the police agencies and judicial system isn't here. I'm sorry we don't have enough soldiers to help you.' "
Reconstruction of the judicial system has begun, with the first two courthouses re-opening in Baghdad on Friday. A committee of ten Iraqi lawyers, including one woman, was established to work with Marine Major Scott Woodard in revamping the judicial system in Iraq. Woodard appointed a woman to the committee because he was afraid that the Iraqi men would not select a woman on their own, according to the Post. Though he hopes Iraqis will develop a system of choosing judges, Woodard said that the US military has the final say, the Post reports.

A 75′ Feature first shown on Sky 3D and Sky 1 HD in the UK
The Bachelor King a.k.a. The Penguin King
This is the journey of a typical King Penguin from awkward adolescent to adult.
Stunning 3D cinematography takes us into an extraordinary sub-Antarctic island, home to majestic albatrosses, brawling elephant seals – and six million penguins. Though our hero's harsh world may be alien to our day-to-day lives, his struggle will be familiar to us all.
Three years ago, The Bachelor King left home. He partied at sea – he adventured, he matured. And now he is returning to the place where he was born and raised: Penguin City. This is one of the most densely-packed, sought-after pieces of real estate in the entire southern hemisphere and somehow he must establish his own place in it. He must find a mate. He wants to be a dad.
But how? What follows is a journey through the most challenging time of the Bachelor King's life. There is joy and terror, a ton of hard work – and some laughs. Our hero has to grow up fast.
He meets the penguin of his dreams, and together they set out to raise a family. Before long, they produce an egg. The two of them take turns to nurture it – one incubating, while the other zooms off to sea to find food. And then, one happy day, their chick hatches. And the hard work really begins.
Our hero and his mate must do all they can to get their chick through this first perilous year. Together, they must feed it – teach it, protect it from the harsh weather and blood-thirsty predators. When Penguin City comes under attack, The Bachelor King bravely defends his chick. But his greatest test comes when tragedy strikes. Suddenly, the family's survival depends on him and him alone.
His story is often comic, sometimes tragic, and ultimately triumphant: a rite of passage set on one of the earth's last great wildernesses.
