The book, which is the brainchild of the Public Catalogue Foundation, manages to corral the 2,500 oil paintings owned by the state and dotted around the world from Whitehall ministries to diplomatic buildings as far apart as Santiago and Moscow on to its 319 illustrated pages.
It features enough famous portraits to ensure Byron is in good company; images of Shakespeare, Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth I jostle with Winston Churchill and Harold Wilson. Landscapes, seascapes, still lifes and more abstract pieces are also on the rollcall, which includes many modern and specially commissioned pieces.
The catalogue also reveals some paintings whose historical value matches their aesthetic worth. On page 94, lurking among pictures of a Westland Wessex Mark 1 helicopter and two voluptuous ladies from Seville, is an accomplished portrait of Field Marshal Montgomery by one Dwight D Eisenhower.
Ninety pages further on is the double portrait of Sir Robert Walpole that was damaged by shrapnel from the IRA mortar attack on Downing Street in 1991.
The book represents the latest phase in the Public Catalogue Foundation's push to photograph and publish all of the 200,000 oil, acrylic and tempera paintings held in publicly owned collections in the UK. So far, the charity, which was set up four years ago and is based in the National Gallery in London, has recorded about 40,000 pictures.
It has also published nearly 20 catalogues of county-specific oil paintings and collections housed by institutions such as the Imperial War Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
Getting so many images together from so many different places proved something of a logistical challenge, according to Andrew Ellis, the foundation's director.
"The pictures are spread across 450 locations around the world from 10 Downing Street to embassies and high commissions. To be fair, many of the pictures had already been photographed, but we had to get photographers in places like Colombo and Caracas," he said. "We found them by searching the internet, but it was quite difficult trying to get them through security and into the embassies." But the end result, he added, had been worth it. "We succeeded and the resulting catalogue is a fascinating showcase of British art that is spread across the globe and owned by the British public."
Penny Johnson, the director of the Government Art Collection, which holds 13,000 works of art in different media obtained over the last century, was also pleased with the book.
"It's wonderful to see all our oil paintings reproduced together for the first time in one catalogue," she said. "The juxtapositions of the colour images stimulate the imagination and reveal the breadth of the collection in a new and accessible way."
Celebrations to mark the catalogue's publication, however, are likely to be brief. The Public Catalogue Foundation reckons that there are still 150,000 paintings that remain hidden from public view. Many grace the walls of the country's museums, council buildings, universities, hospitals and police and fire stations, but thousands more languish in storage.
The foundation's next goal is to get 60,000 pictures on to the internet by spring 2009. If all goes to plan and funding is forthcoming, said Ellis, all 200,000 paintings should be online by 2012.
Byron's portrait may be bracing itself for the leap into cyberspace, but its physical travels are already under way. The painting has left the poet's beloved Greece and will soon embark on a grand tour of the world as part of a Tate-organised exhibition on orientalism. The empty space that Byron leaves on the ambassador's wall will be filled, fittingly, by Margaret Carpenter's portrait of his daughter Ada Lovelace, which has hung in No 10 for the past five years.

2 Thomas Phillips's portrait of Lord Byron, kept in Athens
3 Curl, by Fiona Rae, which was one of the first YBA works bought by the collection. Currently at the British embassy in Washington
4 Vanessa Bell's Byzantine Lady, currently displayed ay the British embassy in Berlin
5 The Integrity of Belgium, a portrait of a soldier by Walter Sickert, which will soon return to the ambassador's residence in Brussels

That's a pretty decent voice you have, and of all the songs, I think Blurry Eyes came out as one of the best. It was full of expression and very well sung. Canta Per Me sounded pretty nice too, although that might be just me, but the parts of the vocals before you kick into the vibrato doesn't sound as good as when you hit the vibrato. For example, the "can" part of "canta per me" might benefit from some sort of vibrato or perhaps some breath. I can't really pinpoint it, though.
That being said, this is some of the nicest singing I've heard from a fan production, and I really hope you can find money and time in the future to get some voice training, as a coach will be able to correct some bad habits that everyone tends to pick up.

Rape Work: Victims, Gender, and Emotions in Organization and Community Context (Perspectives on Gender)
Despite the proliferation of rape crisis centers and other improvements in the treatment of rape victims over the past 20 years, many victims still find themselves the victims of what has been called a "second rape" by doctors, lawyers, judges, police, and administrators that process them. This book takes a critical look at the organizations and officials that process rape victims to see how the structure of their respective organizations often prevent them from providing responsive care.

Intellectual Property
General University Reference Utility
Policy Manual
Penn State recognizes that information technology provides valuable new tools through which University personnel can enhance learning for residential courses and extend programs and courses to new students at a distance. The University strongly encourages the involvement of University faculty and staff in computer-based and computer-assisted instruction and in the development of computer-based instructional materials. The purpose of this courseware policy is to provide incentives for the involvement of University personnel in courseware and courseware module development while also protecting the University's interests in its educational programs and in controlling costs to students.
This document focuses exclusively on the University's instructional intellectual property policy for courseware. Patentable software developed for courseware purposes will be handled under existing University policy IP01.
Courseware: For the purposes of this policy "courseware" is defined as a substantially computer-based package of content, assessment materials, and structure for interaction that permits a course to be taught without requiring physical access to a student. In other words, it is an entire course, fully transportable, minus the specific discussions that may occur between faculty and student or among students within a specific offering of the course.
Courseware modules: For the purposes of this policy a "courseware module" is defined as computer-based or substantially computer-based materials intended to enhance or supplement a Penn State residential or on-line course.
Courseware and courseware module development must be consistent with the primary obligations of University personnel to teaching, research, and service to the public.
Conflict of interest and/or commitment can occur when University personnel develop courseware and courseware modules for personal financial gain rather than for the benefit of their teaching responsibilities at Penn State.
The Vice President for Research, in consultation with the Chair of the University Faculty Senate, will appoint an advisory committee for courseware to monitor the effectiveness of the policy, to recommend updates as necessary, and to provide guidance for other courseware issues (including appeals) that may arise from time to time. The committee shall consist of five (5) faculty members representing a variety of disciplines, and members shall be appointed annually for a term of one year. Members may be reappointed for a maximum of three consecutive terms, but will be eligible for reappointment after a one year hiatus.
Directed works are those created at the specific direction of a University unit for the University's ownership and use. Courseware or courseware modules will be deemed University-directed Works if they are created pursuant to a written agreement between the faculty member or staff member and the University unit or if the work is considered University-directed by the standing policy of the unit.
Employees in staff positions should clarify with their supervisors as to whether a particular project should be considered a University-directed work as part of the employee's normal duties. In cases of University-directed courseware or courseware modules, the University will own the copyright. Even in the cases of University-directed works, the Penn State author(s) will be granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use the materials for their own limited purposes outside of the University. Rights of authors are subject to University policies on consulting activity and other activities external to the University, as well as to unique contractual obligations related to the production of the instructional materials.
- University-directed works include, but are not limited to, courseware and courseware modules development specifically assigned or required as part of regular teaching duties.
- The development of University-directed courseware and courseware modules may also be initiated by University personnel who desire financial support or assistance from the University, through the individual's academic department, college, or an administrative unit, for courseware development.
- The University retains ownership and has legal responsibility for University-directed work and will oversee any publication of University-directed courseware and courseware modules.
- Control of University-directed courseware and courseware modules shall rest with the developing department or program.
- A written agreement between the University and the author(s) stating the scope and goals of the work should be signed at the start of the development process.
- The agreement should also establish the extent to which materials may be used in derivative works published outside the University and will also formalize the relationship with authors outside the University (if any) and the procedure for the use of existing materials.
- Should the materials be distributed beyond the University's programs, the author may be eligible to receive reasonable royalty payments consistent with University policy IP04.
In some cases, University personnel may initiate the development of courseware and courseware modules independent of specific direction by the University. The author(s) of these materials will own the copyright. However, for works within the scope of the author's University employment, the University will be granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the materials for instructional purposes within the University. Rights of authors are subject to University policies on consulting activity and other activities external to the University, as well as to unique contractual obligations related to the production of the instructional materials.
- Whether the work is undertaken for compensation or otherwise, the author has the responsibility to disclose the work to the author's department head/division head or Dean/Campus Executive Officer at the beginning of the development process.
- The University will accept legal responsibility for the use of University personnel-initiated courseware and courseware modules in University programs; legal and financial responsibility for all other uses will rest with the author.
- Control of University personnel-initiated courseware and courseware modules used in University programs shall rest with the department or program that exercises the University's non-exclusive, royalty-free right of use, in consultation with the author.
- The sale or use of University personnel-initiated courseware and courseware modules developed by Penn State personnel in circumstances that substantially compete with Penn State educational programs is not allowed without prior University approval.
- The University will not otherwise interfere with the author's use of the courseware and courseware modules, and the author may arrange for non-competing use outside the University when this does not represent a conflict of interest or conflict of commitment. To that end, sponsoring academic units are encouraged to obtain a Creative Commons license for the materials.
- When exercising its non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the work, the University will ensure that proper credit is given to the author(s).
- It is anticipated that the goal of a substantial fraction of University personnel-initiated courseware and courseware modules will be to provide modest enhancements to existing and evolving courses and the University will work to provide such works to students at no cost or minimal cost to the student.
- The author may receive reasonable royalty payments for University personnel-initiated works used in Penn State courses consistent with University policy IP04.
For questions, additional detail, or to request changes to this policy, please contact the Office of the Vice President for Research.
Other Policies may have specific application and should be referred to, especially:
HR91 - Conflict of Interest,
IP01 - Patents and Copyrights (Intellectual Property)
IP04– Royalty Payments for Course Materials, and
IP06 - Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurial Activity (Faculty Research).

We are spanish couple, ando we want´s to go to hedonisms resort, but we don´t know if go to hedonism II or Hedonism III.We want ´s to go in the last week of March.
Can somebody tell as the diferrece bettewen the both resorts.
Thank ´s
Hi I've been seeing a guy for 7 months who prides himself on his honesty & has been in the lifestyle since '91;i told him I don't care if he plays;per our original agreement,as long as he is honest;& I agreed to do the same with him,I kept my end of the agreement & he has decieved me up 'til this point;so we have spent the past 3 weeks apart; I've told him now even if we part ways at the very least I deserve the truth;i have to find out about his playing by way of his validations;which is unfair & disrespectful. he says i am jealous,yet I am not insanely jealous;a little jealousy is healthy,at least I've been truthful.
Any advice or insight,please?
Normally when I am with my wife, I can hold my orgasm, but when we try with another coaple and with another man, I was so clazy to see my wife with another man and the other girl with me that in 2 minutes i had an orgasm.
I tried diferent stuffs to hold but now I am thinking to take a VIAGRA and let the orgasm go and go and go.
What do you think?
I am writing because my other half broke the rules and now I dont know what to do.
We have an open relationship, and it has been that way from day one. Recently I have been forced with my job to be overseas for months at a time. So we decided that if eiter one of us wants to play while we are apart it is ok. As long as we take pictures or videos.
So last week she calls me and says "honey I have a friend here and I want to play." So I agreed and simply said remember to take some video so I can enjoy too.
She agreed and hung up. The next day she calls back and said she did the deed but didnt take any video.
So now I am upset and dont know what to do.
I just found this section of SDC and love it. There is a lot of good information here.
My husband and I are new to the lifestyle, and we're both very excited about it. Our relationship was an open one before (we could see other people apart) so I don't think jealousy would be an issue. Even though I am excited, I am a little nervous to see another couple since we have no experience... let's say I'm worried more about the etiquette of the lifestyle. Can anybody help? Or is there any other resources that I can go to?
Thank you so much for your help!
Dear Elvis,
I would like to explore becoming a dominatrix. Do you know of any resources on the web I might explore?
Male ½ here. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and together for a total of 15. We've been active in the lifestyle for the past 2 years and have enjoyed some great times and have gone so far as to decide to have an open marriage for about 1 ½ years, meaning that we both see and have sex with others on our own.
I met a woman about 2 months ago and we've become so close so quickly it feels like we were meant to be together. She was single when we met and now has gotten back together with her ex-boyfriend, neither of them are into swinging. She tells me that I am the man of her dreams and if I were single would marry me in a heartbeat and I feel the same way.
I'm a naturally outgoing person, I like to socialize and be around other people and love the attention. My wife doesn't like getting attention and because her job is retail she's around people all day and enjoy's more of the alone and quiet time. The other woman is like me, naturally outgoing, loves to socialize, loves attention.
I've been reading online advice columns on what to do in this situation; however I've not been able to find anything that addresses the lifestyle/open marriage aspect. I and this other women both agree that we are "cheating" on our significant others even if it's just emotional at this point and agree that it's wrong. But we are so drawn to each other, it's hard to stay away.
This woman and I have been having very frank discussions about our future together and would it really work out or is this just lust. The bigger question comes down to do I have these feelings for her because I'm missing out on something in my marriage? My wife is aware that I've been seeing this woman, but I've not shared the emotional attachment I've developed because I know how much it would hurt her.
My marriage is very good, we're not angry at each other, we don't fight, we talk a lot, so what's going on here? Any advice or food for thought would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure this issue comes up, how do you deal with it?
Que tal Elvis!!!
Quisiera me pudieras decir con quien platicar referente a un juego de mesa que voy a lanzar en el mercado mexicano, y el objetivo de este, es hacer que en las reuniones entre los swingers sea mas facil el lograr romper el hielo y realizar las fantasias que todos tenemos, asi entonces, quisiera hacer un intercambio comercial con SDC, para que por un lado, como el juego se comercializará en las sex shops mexicanas, llegaremos a publico que no es swinger pero que tiene fantasias y que muy probablemente una vez jugando el juego se interese en este estilo de vida, ahi mismo en el juego hallará la invitacion para registrarse en SDC, mediante el programa de a filiados.
El intercambio consistiria en que yo en el tablero inserte el logo de SDC y funcione como salida o comienzo de este y uds coloquen un banner al sitio web que tendremos para este fin, lo mismo sucederia en nuestro sitio web, de tal forma que ambas partes ganemos.
Ojala pudieras ayudarme.
Recibe un cordial saludo de Angel y Kalipso.
Tenemos muy buenas referencias tuyas de parte de Gago.
How to approach other couples in a swing club?
I'm a bit shy & in the swing club that we have visited, men are not allowed to approach other couples, so it's up to me! I don't know what to say! Help!
Also, once we do begin a conversation, how to you approach the question... what are you into or what are you looking for? Does this question come up early or later in the conversation?
Maybe I want my cake and eat it too, I dont know but I am just divorced, 50 but looks and acts much younger and very nice looking. My question is,,, can a guy find a sexy lady, that would enjoy the lifestyle and also be a terriffic wife and love me with it all? I have a successful life, money toys and etc, but no love and basically no life. where do I look and how will I know it. My previous wife was - is nothing but a taker and everything is about her. Mean to ewveryone and actually a real bitch. I enjoy people and life and wants to make the best out of my last 25 years.
I dont have to have a lady that woreships the lifestyle but play in it every now and then or at least not be horrified of those that do and keep a open mind is all I ask. Are they out there. I am looking for classy beautiful and and warm hearted lady with a brain.

Aqua over Purple
A very short bob with lots of classic elegance in its shape turns postmodern with a daring color treatment. The precision cut lines of the look are a fitting canvas for the wide streaks of a bright and deep aqua blue, set against a berry purple background.
Styled out of the face and tugged behind the ear, this look is elegant and edgy at the same time.

Category: baby namaes
X is an undeniably cool letter when it comes to baby names, but names that start with X are limited – Xavier, Xanthe, and, uh… — and names that end with x such as Max and Alex have become overused in recent years.
The solution, for the x-loving baby namer, may be to find a name that carries an x in the middle. Here, a wide range of choices to consider:
Abraxas – This unusual and powerful name is derived from Persian mythology, and dates back to ancient Egyptian Gnostics who worshiped Abraxas as the Supreme Being.
Alexa and Alexis – Among the most popular names on this list, these creative and sophisticated-sounding names are variations of the Greek Alexander family and mean "defending men."

Let's assume that product documentation and support is a major pain point at your company (for most, it is). The first step is to fix it by looking at it from the outside-in. In other words, what would you do differently if you really measured the usefulness and accessibility of your documentation from your customers' perspective? For example, why can't they search your documentation for the answers they need? Why can't they easily let you know whether or not they found what they were looking for? Why can't they use your documentation to do more than find answers, but to learn and enhance their product expertise?
Solutions to address these questions may seem costly and burdensome at first, but by staying ahead of disruptive social trends and creating cutting-edge innovations, MindTouch provides cost-effective tools any company can use to effectively—and profitably—turn traditional approaches to product documentation and support upside-down. Let's take a look at what product documentation and support at your company could look like.
Imagine how you could delight your customers and leapfrog your competition if. . .
- Your customers could access a powerful search engine dedicated to helping them quickly and easily find the most relevant information from the most credible source (your company, not a third-party forum).
- Your software users could access product help when and where they need it without having to leave your application.
- Your customers could easily provide feedback and ask a question directly from within your documentation rather than having to email you or waiting on hold for a support agent.
- You connected every piece of product documentation customers used to an analytical service that could more quickly diagnose product and documentation problems and quickly offer customers relevant guidance.
- You could eliminate documentation silos and distribute the latest, most up-to-date documentation internally so that all product information was instantly accessible to any customer-facing employee.
With MindTouch you can!
Algorithmic Restructuring MindTouch includes a powerful search engine that indexes articles, comments and even the contents of file attachments. MindTouch learns from user interactions and continues to get better as your users score content, visit, click and interact with pages. No work on your part—just let MindTouch do its job. Site admins have access to tools for analyzing search, manipulating and specifying recommended results.
F1 Help Button: Contextual Help System In minutes you can add a contextual help system powered by MindTouch to your web applications. This allows your users to receive screen- or field-level contextually relevant help within your applications. Because MindTouch automatically relates content your users will get answers to their questions and be recommended content that will help them develop their expertise even further.
Feedback Tools MindTouch offers page and search result scoring and feedback mechanisms. Scoring impacts the adaptive search and informs behavioral analytics.

Novo-Ozyorne: Long-term resident Maria Nikiforovna
Novo-Ozyorne is a small, ethnically mixed town in western Crimea.
The town is dominated by the Ukrainian navy, which has its regional headquarters there, but Russian troops have now partially blockaded the naval facilities.
On Sunday, a disputed referendum is taking place in Crimea on whether the peninsula should become a part of Russia.
Opinion in Novo-Ozyorne is divided.
Maria Nikiforovna has lived in the town for 40 years.

CROWS coach Brenton Sanderson says resting his star-studded core belies Adelaide's desire to again win the AFL pre-season cup.
Sanderson's Crows start their cup defence on Sunday against St Kilda and Port Adelaide without their top shelf.
A number of Crows including club champion Scott Thompson, ruckman Sam Jacobs, captain Nathan van Berlo and rising stars Patrick Dangerfield, Taylor Walker and Rory Sloane won't feature in Sunday's triple-header.
''Ten of our better players are not going to play,'' Sanderson said on Thursday, ''so we'll be quite young and inexperienced this first week. But we still expect to play well and to win.''
Adelaide hosts St Kilda in Sunday's opening game, before the Saints meet Port Adelaide, who play the Crows in the final match.

Israel's leaders hailed America's punitive air raids on Libya-as an act of self-defense against international terrorism but stressed repeatedly Tuesday that Israel was in no way involved and had no advance knowledge of U.S. plans.
Premier Shimon Peres, questioned by reporters while visiting Nazareth, said he does not know yet what results the American action might have but "I know the reasons for it. Libya was undoubtedly behind the bombing of American soldiers at the discotheque in (West) Berlin and it doesn't surprise me that the United States takes steps in its own self defense," Peres said.
Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin told reporters after an appearance at the Hebrew University that the U.S. action in Libya was "a determined and daring action against a country which took the lead in the encouragement, finance and support of international terrorism."
Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said in an Israel Radio interview that the American action was an act of defense of the U.S. and the free world against international terrorism.
"It is clear to everybody that terrorism can succeed only when it has the support of countries like Libya, Syria and others, and if we want to put an end to terrorism we have to punish these countries and to convince them to change their way of action in this regard," the Likud leader said.
But except for Britain, Israel was alone among America's allies in expressing unqualified support for the U.S. air strike. It was deplored even by the moderate Arab states, including Egypt which has long considered Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi a foe.
Peres said he "reserved judgement" when asked if he thought the U.S. action went far enough toward eliminating terrorist acts such as the discotheque bombing, the bombing of a TWA airliner over Greece, and the machinegun and grenade attacks on the Rome and Vienna airports last December, all of which the Reagan Administration claims were masterminded by Qaddafi.
Responding to a condemnation of the air strike by Nazareth's Communist Mayor Tewfik Zayyad, Peres asked what else did he expect the Americans to do when they had proof that Qaddafi was planning to kill more Americans, "sit back and praise the Lord?" Asked to comment on the Soviet charge of State-sponsored terrorism by the U.S., Peres remarked, "The USSR has a language of its own."
With respect to Israel, he said, "We were not invited (to participate in the air strike) and we played no role in it." He warned, however, that Libyan and Palestinian terrorism would not solve anything. "The Palestinians are not our enemies and Israel is interested in solving the Palestinian problem through negotiations," he said.
Rabin, too, stressed that the strike at Libya "was an American action. Israel was not involved and was not notified about it." But, he added, "It is an attempt to deal with the sources of terrorism, not only with those who carry it out."
"Therefore, as a matter of principle, I believe that every country that believes that something has to be done against international terrorism, in coordination with the democratic free world, should come and say that it is a justified action," Rabin said He dismissed concern that a world war could evolve from the American action.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministers of the 12 member states of the European Economic Community (EEC) will meet in Paris Thursday to evaluate the consequences of the American air strike. According to Western diplomats, a majority of the twelve — with the notable exception of Britain — are opposed to the raid and hope to convince the Americans to abstain from further military actions against Libya.
The EEC Foreign Ministers, meeting at The Hague Monday before the U.S. launched its bombers against Libya, made clear that they favored diplomatic and political measures before resorting to force. After the raid, the Foreign Ministries of the EEC states were either critical or non-committal.
Only British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe maintained, in a BBC address, that the U.S. "has exercised its right of self-defense." Britain allowed a part of the American strike force–F-111 long-range bombers–to use NATO bases on British soil.
But British opposition parties, especially Labor, condemned the raids. Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock said he was "horrified" by the American action and maintained that there were "other and more effective ways to fight terrorism."
Denis Healy, Labor's foreign policy spokesman, accused Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of "grovelling subservience" to President Reagan and warned that Britain would now become more of a target of Libyan terrorism than it was. According to opposition spokesmen, Qaddafi now has more friends than he had before the action.
The French Foreign Ministry refused permission for the American bombers to overfly French territory on the way to Libya and expressed regrets over the raid, which it said would "escalate" terrorism.
The raid was also condemned by West Germany's Foreign Minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher. Another member of Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Cabinet, Economics Minister Martin Bangemann, called the raid "inappropriate and incomprehensible." The Dutch and Italian governments were also highly critical.
In the United States, Jewish organizations expressed full support for the air strike against Libya.
In a telegram to President Reagan Tuesday, Kenneth Bialkin, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, hailed the action against Libya.
"We support your policies in defense of freedom and in rejection of intimidation," the telegram said. "Only when international terrorists are made to realize that they must pay for lawless conduct and are accountable for the consequences of their acts will there be a return to the rule of law. Until then, your efforts should be appreciated by all of us who understand the dangers of appeasement."
Nathan Perlmutter, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, sent a telegram to Reagan Tuesday saying, "We applaud and fully support your decision to attack Libya." He added: "There is no simple, short-term way to deal with terrorists. Rather, it requires hard decisions, risk-taking over a period of time. We stand behind you in this difficult but necessary effort."
Sidney Kwetel president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, also sent a telegram to the White House in which he said his organization "applauds the courageous action taken by the U.S. in its effort to combat Libyan-inspired and sponsored terrorism. We fully support the Administration in its world-wide war to end the scourge of terrorism."
The leaders of the Herut Zionists of America, the Betar Zionist Youth Movement and the Tagar Student Zionist Activist Organization, jointly sent a letter to United Nations Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar Tuesday urging him to mobilize the "nations of the world in a united effort to punish the sponsors of international terrorism."
The letter stated, in part: "The United States yesterday (Monday) took a courageous and important step in the campaign to eliminate the cancer of international terrorism. Through military action against Libya, President Reagan reaffirmed America's role as the leader of the free world and boldly demonstrated that barbaric acts of terrorism–such as the brutal murders sponsored by Libya's Muammar Qaddafi, the PLO's Yasir Arafat, and Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini–will not be allowed to continue unpunished."
The letter urged the Secretary General to "take immediate steps to expel Libya, Iran and the PLO terrorist group from the United Nations and all of its affiliated agencies… ensure formal international cooperation in the effort to fully prosecute and punish those states, organizations and individuals which participate in global terrorism" and "implement a program which will effectively isolate and limit the global capabilities of nations which fail to participate in the campaign against international terrorism."
Harold Jacobs, president of the National Council of Young Israel, strongly endorsed the U.S. reprisal attack on Libya and stated: "We must be prepared to confront not only Libya, but all other international terrorist havens, from the Syrian-controlled Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, to Teheran, to the terrorist training centers behind the Iron Curtain."
He added, "It is imperative that other governments of the free world abandon their policy of appeasement and join the United States in the war against international, State-sponsored terrorism."
Rabbi William Berkowitz, president of the American Jewish Heritage Committee, sent a telegram to Reagan extolling the strike against Libya as an "historic and courageous action that strikes at the very center of the terror kingdom. The United States has demonstrated by this direct action its resolve to stand firm against the evils of terrorism," Berkowitz said.

Maybe every home game should be capped with fireworks.
It seemed to bring out the sparkle in the Pennsylvania Rebellion Friday at Consol Energy Park.
Before the bursting colors dotted the darkened sky over the left field fence, Sarah Pauly filled the air with pitch after pitch in a rare back-to-back performance and Taylor Edwards sent a pitch into the night that resulted in a three-run homer.
Both performances highlighted the Rebellion's 6-1 victory over the Chicago Bandits.
The margin of victory surpasses a 6-3 win over the USSSA Pride June 2 in the third game of the season. It also raised the Rebellion's record to 7-25 while the Bandits dropped to 18-13.
The Rebellion could not have picked a better night to have one of their best games as 1,982 fans were treated to the in-game and post-game fireworks.
It was the second largest crowd in Rebellion history after the home opener of 2,943 on June 5, a 6-2 loss to the defending champion USSSA Pride.
The second straight start was Pauly's idea, and she pitched a marvelous game. After a leadoff single to centerfielder Megan Wiggins, she got 18 outs in a row before surrendering a run and two more hits in the seventh inning.
"We're thinking playoff series, how to win a series, who can we ride and how long can we ride her," said Rebellion manager Stacey Rice. "Who would have thought she would pitch better the second night? But she keeps in great shape."
All four teams of the National Pro Softball team gather in Hoover Ala., Aug. 20-23 for the postseason tournament, three best-of-3 series that determine the league champion.
Pauly allowed three runs, two earned, in a 3-1 loss to the Bandits Thursday evening. Afterwards, she approached Rice with the suggestion she go again last night.
"I figured that since the championship series is best-of-3 I needed to see how I performed on back-to-back days," said Pauly, who has been a part of three championship teams in her career. "My dad always told me that your second game will be better than your first, and I believe what he says. You have a different mindset, and your body is more loose. I felt more smooth, and I was more relaxed."
The Rebellion jumped on Bandits starter Ellen Renfroe for two runs in the first inning on back-to-back run-scoring doubles by shortstop Bianca Mejia and DH Courtney Liddle.
The Rebellion made it 3-0 with two outs in the second when centerfielder Sami Garcia beat out an infield single and moved to second on an error. A wild pitch by Renfroe put her at third and Brittney Lindley doubled her home.
In the fifth, Liddle drew a one-out walk, which spelled the end of Renfroe. Andrea Williamson relieved and got right fielder Mandy Ogle to fly out to right. Second baseman Lauren Lappin drew a walk and Edwards sent a shot over the left-field fence to make it 6-0.
"I recognized the changeup and stayed strong through it," said Edwards, whose other home run was a grand slam against the Bandits July 13 in a 6-5, 10-inning loss in Chicago.
"In my first at bat, I got under it and popped it to left. The more runs we score gives our pitchers less pressure. They don't have to worry about throwing a perfect game."
Chicago reached Pauly for a run in the seventh when left fielder Emily Allard beat out an infield hit and scored on a double by shortstop Tammy Williams. But Pauly got the next three outs.
"She kept us off balance," said Bandits manager Shane Winkler. "Her stuff was working."

My reporting tells me it's likely that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., will be Secretary of State, but no final decision has been made.
The reason? Clinton herself hasn't firmly decided that this is the job she wants.
She's concerned about giving up the independence she has as a senator.
She also has to worry about the $7.6 million campaign debt she still has from her presidential bid.
But the question about whether former President Bill Clinton's activities will be a block is moving towards getting resolved.
Sources tell me a team of lawyers has been working for the last two days negotiating over this.
An agreement is emerging whereby President Clinton would disclose donations to his foundation and any future paid speaking he does would be reviewed by ethics officials, such as the White House counsel or the State Department counsel.

As someone who is risk averse when it comes to hairstyles, I applaud those that go boldly into retro hair territory. Like funny lady Aisha Tyler here. She rocked this pompadour hairstyle at the Comedy Awards over the weekend. The more I stare at it, the more I like it. What do you think? Is it cute or am I not seeing clearly because I adore her?
This style is a little bit different than a traditional pompadour because the front isn't lifted and pulled back in one big section--there's a cool, overlapping texture going on. But it does have some serious height to it. I'm guessing lots of hairspray was involved in the making of her 'do. So, are you into it? Declare it a Do or a Don't in the comments section below.

Tom Cruise may be marrying Scientologist ex-girlfriend, apparently
Don't cry for Tom Cruise after his breakup from Katie Holmes, because he apparently already has another wife in the pipeline, according to the National Enquirer. Besides, you should be saving those tears for poor Suri, anyway.
The rag says the Church of Scientology may be matching up Tom for a sham marriage with his old flame Yolanda Pecoraro. If that name sounds at all familiar, it's because Andrew Morton's hack job book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography mentions Pecoraro as someone Cruise dated after meeting her at the 2004 opening of a Scientology center in Spain. Because she's a Scientologist, see, so it's a lock, right?
As proof of this, the Enquirer asked Pecoraro if that part was true, practically stiff-arming her live-in boyfriend to get her to say, "Yes, I knew and still know Tom Cruise. And no, I'm not married or engaged."
This is obviously a conspiracy to make the thrice-married Cruise find a wife that sticks, so who better than the 27-year-old Yolanda? Seriously, he even paid for some of her Scientology courses at the Hollywood Celebrity Centre, you guys! He'll probably divorce her when she turns 33, though.
"With the embarrassment his divorce has caused the church, they want to stabilize the situation quickly," a source credited only as a former member of the church said. "They also want to show that Tom has rebounded fast and that his new wife is beautiful and steeped in Scientology. If the church decides to make Yolanda Tom's next wife, they'd certainly want her to have a child soon. So she could quickly be going from her modest apartment to a mansion in Beverly Hills with a baby on the way. And there's little doubt she'd do what's best for the church."
Hey Juice*heads, have you ever stopped to think this whole TomKat thing is really about two parents with different religious backgrounds who work all the time finally realizing there was nothing to their marriage anymore and splitting up? Of course you did, but surely that's not the case here, because that's no fun. Next week: Tom Cruise bathes in the blood of 6-year-old girls ... AND SURI'S NEXT!

One of the most promising players of the 2010 season was true freshman running back Mustafa Greene. The four-star recruit out of Irmo, S.C. led the team in rushing with 597 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, in addition to 272 yards and another pair of scores through the air.
However, the 6-foot, 213-pounder was unable to build on his impressive debut campaign after injuring his foot last April during spring practice. Originally, the youngster was projected to return in October, but a second surgery forced him to miss the entire season and redshirt.
Greene was back in action at NC State's first practice of the spring last Friday, and nothing could make the tailback happier.
"It's exciting, it's been a long time coming," he said of his return. "I'm just excited to be back out there and work hard with my teammates. Hopefully, we'll have a good season.
"[The past 12 months] were tough, but my teammates have been behind me the whole time. With the new [running backs] coach [Des Kitchings] and everything, he makes me feel good, it's been a good transition and everything. My trainers have been getting me right, so I feel pretty good."
Although Greene is working with his third different running backs coach during his time in Raleigh, he said he feels there could be an advantage in getting three different points of view as he molds himself into a college back.
"I feel comfortable around him and everything," Greene said of his new mentor. "We're forming a bond. Coach Kitchings is more of a don't run it out of bounds type of guy. He wants us to work hard, go 110 percent on every play and he's definitely big on the playbook. He wants us to get in and out of the playbook, and know it like the back of our hand."
That shouldn't be a problem for Greene, who spent last season watching his teammates and working on the mental parts of his game while he was limited physically. However, Greene felt no ill effects from the time off when he returned to the practice field for the first time.
"It wasn't boring to me [to sit out last season] because it's always fun watching my boys play football and everything," he said. "I would kind of dread some of the days, some days I felt worse than others. Otherwise, I was good and we had a good season.
"It felt good to be back out there. My adrenaline was pumping, so hopefully tomorrow I don't feel too bad, but it was pumping today, and I felt good. Just getting back out there with the guys is fun to me, I love it. I didn't have any butterflies or anything like that."
Greene is anxiously awaiting later this week, when the full pads are put on and the contact starts.
"I can't wait for that," he said. "That will be the real test. Hopefully, they'll let me get hit a couple of times, so I can lay the hits, too. That's what I want to do. I'm not sure yet, it's probable right now, but I'm going to tell [the coaches and trainers] I'm ready to go. Ultimately, it's up to them."

what happens if my air intake charge is NEGATIVE 335 deg F. on my EA82T?????
Why does everyone of your posts make me question your sanity!? LOL

Why does everyone of your posts make me question your sanity!? LOL
Because I am insane.
Edit: Seriously tho...i was thinking about using an air to water IC....but instead of water...and a pump and rad....i was going to use liquid Nitrogen...and a special pump that uses electromagnetic feilds to absorb energy from the intake air charge...it uses that energy to power its self and circulate the Liq. Nitr....it doesnt need a rad...cuz the pump assy absorbs the heat energy. The more heat, the more effient it is. Something along those lines....

I thought that URL looked familiar...these are the same folks that sell those "carbon fiber" rims...LOL (of course, for obvious structural reasons they are alloys that are covered with CF, not wheels that are actually made of CF).
That said the theory kinda makes sense. This is really no different than turbo car owners that ice their intercoolers at the drag strip.
BUT...then again, every time the discussion comes up about "is metal tubing in an intake really wise since it would soak up heat", the defense is that the air is moving fast enough that it isn't notably affected by the intake tubing temp. Wouldn't the same thing apply here, especially considering how little time the air would spend in the very small, low restriction "dry ice containment unit" (their term, not mine...lol)?
I would think that a similar concept but using an artificially chilled intercooler would have a more noticeable effect (i.e. an intercooler surrounded with dry ice) since ICs have much better heat transfer properties than a simple metal tube (partly due to the fact that the air spends more time passing through the IC than it would a similarly sized piece of tubing).

The United States Geological Survey ranks the Guyana-Suriname basin as the world's second-most prospective, underexplored offshore basin, with an estimated 13.6 billion barrels of oil and 32 trillion cubic feet of natural gas yet to be discovered.
It is in this basin that Eco Atlantic holds a 40% working interest in a significant licence, which is just 6.5 km from ExxonMobil's world class Liza oil discovery.
ExxonMobil and Hess recently confirmed that the deep-water Liza Field is officially the largest commercial find in South America in 50 years and holds an estimated 1 billion to 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent, making it one of a handful of billion-barrel discoveries in the last half-decade. The Liza Field is adjacent to Eco Atlantic's Orinduik Block.
Licence Overview - Orinduik Block
In January 2016, Eco Atlantic signed a Petroleum Agreement and is party to an Offshore Petroleum Licence with the Government of Guyana and Tullow Oil for the Orinduik Block offshore Guyana. The 1800 km² Orinduik block is situated in shallow water, 170 km offshore Guyana in the Suriname Guyana basin, and is located 6.5 km from the recent Exxon Mobil Liza discoveries.
Eco has a 40% working interest and Tullow Oil has a 60% working interest. Tullow Oil will be the operator and will pay Eco Atlantic US$0.4m and fully carry Eco Atlantic for approximately C$3m of the 2D and 3D survey for an initial 4 years work commitment. Details of the work programme are in the table below.
|Committed work programme
|Initial 4 year licence term
|First 3 year renewal period

I have a body that makes women swoon and an intellect that would make Einstein envious. Well, I can dream can't I? I love history, black-and-white photographs, and love the classy dress styles and music of the past. Sometimes I feel like a guy planted into the wrong time. How I would love to visit the past, especially the thirties and forties. And yet, I love youth, I wish I could stay 20 forever and watch the centuries roll by!

The demand will be great for trained nurses in the coming years.
The nursing group within Central Health accounts for 40 per cent of their staffing numbers, including 25 nurse practitioners (NP); 750 registered nurses (RN); 425 licensed practical nurses (LPN) and 237 personal care attendants (PCA).
Mark Gill, director of human resources with Central Health, said while the vacancy numbers for nursing positions can change from day to day, as of Feb. 4, there were 75 RN positions available at all facilities throughout the region. Of these, 20 are full-time positions. The remainder are in a relief capacity.
Gill explained that due to vacation time, various forms of leave and other reasons, relief staff are critical.
"Building a robust pool of relief is where our greatest challenge is," he said.
Future projections RN
Within the next five years, Central Health forecasts they will need to hire 298 RNs to meet the demand. In 10 years that number is expected to reach 531.
"These (numbers) are largely based on what retirement projections are for existing staff, along with a combined analysis of our general turnover being four to five per cent a year. Then take into account (that) for whatever reasons some people may go on long-term disability or some form of long-term leave and they need to be replaced," Gill said.
That, coupled with an aging population, means Central Health has to closely examine how they will meet those staffing needs in the future.
"We know with the current labour market, with the declining youth population, coupled with the aging population in general in the province, coupled with an aging workforce — we are into a little bit a perfect storm if you will, in the sense that we are going to need more staff and where those staff are going to come from we don't have enough youth coming up through to fill those demands," he said.
Gill noted that in the last calendar year, Central Health hired 53 registered nurses, but they had 35 leave through retirement. That translated into 18 new RNs remaining on staff.
"If we only have 18 new RNs a year we are going to be significantly challenged to increase our numbers by almost 300 in the next five years," he said.
From the three schools of nursing in the province — two in St. John's and one in Corner Brook — they graduate between 240-250 RNs per year. Gill said there is a recruitment effort to hire them for Central Health facilities.
"We hired 32 last year of our 53, but our challenge is that in central Newfoundland we don't have what I like to call a pipeline to practice, because we don't have a nursing school directly in central," he said.
See related article on the efforts being undertaken to establish a satellite school of nursing in Grand Falls-Windsor.
Future projections LPN
"We know that Newfoundland's population is aging faster than any of the other provinces in the country, so demand for long-term care services is going to grow in consort with that," Gill told TC Media. "That's certainly an area where we will see an increased demand for the LPN scope of practice."
The Central Health projections for new staffing hires for LPNs in five years is 216; over 10 years the projected need is 346 hires.
The Centre for Nursing Studies (CNS) is the parent institution for practical nursing education in Newfoundland and Labrador. The CNS brokers its practical nursing program to various campuses of the College of the North Atlantic.
The CNA campus in Grand Falls-Windsor increased the number of spaces for students in September, 2015, from 35 to 50 students.
Gill said the class was full in September, and these students will graduate in April/May of next year. The hope is that many of them will work with Central Health.
"We would support (CNA) in them continuing to offer the program," Gill said. "With our numbers forecast over the next five years at 216, we are going to need to hire these classes, and just about the full class in most cases."
The need for additional PCAs has also been identified. Within five years the new staffing hires will be 95 positions and at 10 years that will total 176.
Gill said with Central Health having a focus on client-centered and patient-centered care, these staffing efforts tie into their three strategic issues: access to services, healthy living and client flow.

Actress Lisa Marie's palimony suit against ex-fiancée Tim Burton has had a stake driven through its heart.
Lisa Marie who appeared in Burton's Ed Wood biopic as horror icon Vampira and as a Martian hooker in Mars Attacks! sued the director claiming he cheated her out of bucks based on an alleged agreement.
The former model who posed for Robert Mapplethorpe and appeared in the CK Obsession print adverts met Burton at a Goldfinger's strip club in New York and bonded over their shared sightings of UFOs.
L M claimed Burton promised her millions after dumping her for Planet of The Apes star Helena Bonham Carter who Burton began dating in 2001 while they were shooting the remake.
The suit was due to hit the dockets but California Court of Appeal officials have dismissed the case.

At the risk of understatement, the Corinthian church had issues. But, the church had issues because it was made up of sinners. One of the problems that they had was a penchant for exalting people and then identifying with them (to give them a sense of status). Even in the church there arose various personality cults (1 Cor 3:1-6). One says, "I am of Apollos." Another says, "I am of Paul." Someone else boasts, "I am of Cephas."
Can you see what a problem this would be? After all, the church is supposed to be united together under a common savior, common mission, and saluting the same gospel flag. Instead they were acting like fanboys of their favorite pop icons.
This immaturity brought about the fleshly fruit of jealousy, arguments, and bitterness (1 Cor. 3:3). Many in the church were producing this bad fruit. And as is always the case, those governed by the flesh are drawn to controversy like undeterrable fruit flies.
The church exists to glorify God by helping people to know and follow Jesus. We do this by means of the ministry of the Word of God. The result of this, by God's grace, is that people grow and look more and more like Christ. We become conformed to his image (Eph. 4:11-15). But what are we being "deconformed" from (if I can use that term) as we are being conformed to Christ? It is self. Sadly, in Corinth the very thing that the church endeavors to cultivate was being seditiously undermined by a dangerous knockoff. Instead of cultivating contentment in their Creator through the gospel they were pursuing contentment in creation through personality cults.
What was their chief issue? They had bad memories. They had something of a gospel amnesia that brought about Christian apathy. They had forgotten who Christ is and what he had done (1 Cor. 1:29-31). But they had also forgotten who they were. In effort to remind them of both of these things in one fell swoop the Apostle lovingly reminds them,
"For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."" (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)
Did you catch what Paul did there?
He is accenting the greatness of Christ by reminding the Corinthians that they really aren't very impressive. Christ's awesomeness, when rightly perceived, has an uncanny ability to remind us that we are not very awesome. At the same time, he does not diminish the church. It is, after all, the church that is the means by which the gospel goes forth.
To put it another way, the beauty of the church is seen in the preciousness of the gospel she preaches and the weakness of those who preach it. It is as if Paul is saying, "You didn't get into this by being great and impressive. You got in because God is rich in mercy to those who are not very great nor impressive." Praise God for this.

text: Jul 06, 2015 | Kris Hammond Quill and ProPublica Turn Numbers Into Knowledge There is a growing movement in government and public policy towards transparency. Data associated with trade, traffic, education and crime is being made available to anyone and everyone who wants to use it. The problem is, the data is exactly that: data. Spreadsheets, databases, flat files of numbers and many other data formats are being pushed into the public view as a mechanism to support transparency. Of course, unless you are amongst the data savvy, making sense of large data files comes at a great cost in time and resources. Having access to all of the traffic and accident data for the country doesn't help you understand how safe your neighborhood is for drivers. Getting the download of all of the census data from 2010 doesn't tell you how your city is changing. And, downloading all of the data about schools and the opportunities that they provide doesn't give you a lot of help in understanding the schools in your district, nor does it offer the bigger picture trends that speak to the condition of education nationally. Data in its undigested form is rarely useful; we need the stories and insight the data provides. Simply put, we need to go beyond data transparency and get to insight transparency. Open government data initiatives are to be applauded for embracing a spirit of transparency and accountability. However, without the ability to quickly and accurately report the findings contained within those datasets, these initiatives are of little value. ProPublica has been addressing this problem by taking existing public policy and government data and transforming it into compelling stories and applications. Using the data to produce national stories based on analysis of the data and specific data inspection applications, ProPublica has been working to make the data that you care about more accessible when you need it. ProPublica is one of the few organizations of its kind that cares about both storytelling and data interpretation. With this in mind, we partnered with ProPublica to transform some of their data into stories. In particular, we have been working with data related to high schools, the educational opportunities that each provides and the overall economic state of their student body. Using ProPublica's core data, Quill is producing stories that focus on the educational opportunities at a school, where there are gaps and the conditions that are correlated with them, and how those opportunities compare within the school's district and state. Producing tens of the thousands of stories, Quill has written an entire nation of school stories that are relevant to students, teachers, parents and policymakers, no matter what school or district is of interest to them. Directed by both the data and the editorial and analytic guidance of ProPublica, Quill has automatically generated clear, concise narrative descriptions of the educational opportunities (and gaps in those opportunities) for every high school in the country. A parent interested in the schools available to their own children can now read about those schools and see how they stack up to others in the area, others in the state, or others across the country. These stories go beyond the data to a level of insight that makes them both highly informative and strikingly relevant. We see this work as a great expression of how automated storytelling can transform the often-difficult world of data into a plainspoken world of insight. We are looking forward to putting Quill to work on other public data sources to achieve the goal of information transparency that we believe is long overdue.

DESMOND Swayne has been the Conservative MP for New Forest West since the seat was created in 1997.
Prior to politics the married father-of-three was a school master from 1981 to 1987 and then a manager with the Royal Bank of Scotland from 1987 to 1997.
Mr Swayne has served as parliamentary private secretary to the Leader of the Opposition since September 2004 first to Michael Howard and now to David Cameron.
Before becoming the New Forest West MP, Mr Swayne, 54, stood for election in Pontypridd in 1987 and West Bromwich West in 1992.
He also contested a district council and a county council seat in the West Midlands, and a London borough seat in North Kensington.
An officer in the Territorial Army, Mr Swayne served in Iraq in 2003.
He lives in Burley with his wife Moira and his children.
Mr Swayne said: "Britain needs to change course because the deficit is dragging our economy down.
"We need change to rebuild our broken politics -exemplified by the expenses scandal but which runs much deeper. We need real power, to be returned to local communities.
"We need change in order to fix our broken society which is now characterised by welfare dependency; anti social behaviour, indiscipline, and crime.
"Five more years of Gordon Brown won't change anything. Only voting Conservative will get rid of him."

In the state of Minnesota, registration for vital records began in the year of 1870. Some counties may contain records that have events that began earlier than this year, and other counties may have records that began after this year. Just like in some other states, Minnesota marriage records are held in reserve on a county level, and in order to obtain them, you must do so from the county where the application for the marriage license was submitted. This may be different than the county where the wedding actually took place, so be careful when finding this location.
Before 1979, a law in Minnesota made it so that all marriage applications had to be made in the county that the bride lived in. But, after March of 1979, license applications were able to be made in county in Minnesota. This makes it easier on people who are searching for Minnesota marriage records. By having fewer restrictions, they will be able to find more documents that they can use.
There is an online index that makes finding Minnesota marriage records a breeze. Not only is it free, but it gives researchers access to so much information. The index contains marriages from all of the counties within the state. There are 87 counties, so this online index covers a lot of ground. It is known as the Minnesota Official Marriage System, or MOMS for short. MOMS shows the names of the bride and groom, the year that they were married, and the county which maintains the record. For a small fee, marriage certificates can be ordered. There is another online index that contains vital records from the Minnesota Historical Society. If you have come to find out that you had ancestors that lived in this state, and had children here, then you can infer that they most likely got married here. Marriage records can be the document that starts you off in your journey to discovering the past. You may have known your great-great grandmother under her married name, but what about the history that her maiden name contains?
The first step to finding the marriage record is obtaining clues for the location and date of the marriage. In the past, this task may have been challenging. But, with MOMS, it is easy for anyone to do, since they don't have to search for each county separately. Another step that you can follow is collecting all census listings (federal and state) for the state of Minnesota. After putting the census reports in sequential order, you can find birth information about the couple's child. You can use this information to allow you to make the date range smaller. The census from the years of 1895 until 1905 asked the people surveyed how long they lived in Minnesota. Whereas, the federal census of 1900 divulges which marriage it is for the person in questioning, and how many years the marriage actually lasted. Finding marriage records can actually require an effort on your part, but when you get the information that you were searching for, the process almost seems effortless.
To order a Minnesota marriage certificate, follow the instructions below:
Step 1.
Determine which county in Minnesota the marriage took place.
Step 2.
Go to the Minnesota Center for Health Statistics website for a list of all state registrars.
For more information, you can contact the following agency: Minnesota Department of Health website.
About Minnesota Marriage Records
The State of Minnesota created the Office of the State Registrar in the Department of Health to track, record, and maintain vital records for the state. However, the state of Minnesota does not maintain marriage records at the state level.
Where Minnesota Marriage Records are Maintained
All marriage records in the state of Minnesota are filed and maintained in the county where the marriage took place. Anyone wishing to request a certified copy of a marriage certificate will need to contact the local county registrar.
Marriage Records Online
The Minnesota Association of County Officers has worked together to develop an online database called the Minnesota Official Marriage System. Through this online database, you can search specific names through a range of dates and get instant verification of a marriage, date, county, and the certificate number. You can even order a copy of the certificate for a nominal fee. Note that this database may not be complete for the entire state.

After the one-game playoff between Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Winthrop, the 2010 NCAA March Madness Tournament officially kicked off on Thursday. As usual, the First Round featured a number of bracket-busting upsets while the #1 seeds dominanted in each respective region. Aside from the gameplay, Sneaker News would like to focus on some of the kicks that were seen in on the college hardwood, and we're excited that there was no upset at all.
The three colorways of the Patent Grey Leather LeBron VII made their debuts, while an oldie in the Air Zoom Generation made an unexpected appearance. Air Jordan held its own as well, as the Hare Jordan VII, Space Jam XI, a Melo M6 designed by a teen, and some great Team Jordan PEs were in play. There's a lot more to be seen, so check out the collection of images summarizing the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, and stay tuned to Sneaker News as we will recap the kicks from each round of March Madness. via Yahoo!.
