Boucheroite rag rugs at LOVE ADORNED in NYC: http://blog.loveadorned.com
"Boucherouite rugs ( Boucherouite meaning "rag" in Moroccan Arabic) are a recent pan-Moroccan phenomenon brought on by the loss of the nomadic lifestyle of the Amazigh people, though they are often referred to as "Berber". No longer a nomadic people dependent on sheep herding, these artisans have adapted to the changes by mixing wool with cotton rags to keep the tradition alive. With dramatic colors and patterns, these one of a kind pieces combine the casual ease of cotton with an artful, collage-like aesthetic"

"I'm a builder, a fixer, and a do-it-myselfer. My favorite things in life are big tools, old wood, good pasta, and finding great materials in a dumpster. I grew up in California, and blindly moved to New York seven years ago when I was accepted into art school for sculpture. I instantly fell in love with the grungy part of Brooklyn, and within a month, we had moved into Bedstuy. I have lived in the same apartment for five years now, which has given me plenty of time to slowly "fix" a few things around the house: de-carpet stairways, tile in kitchen… you name it!" - Ariele Alasko

Public Comment
Conscientious Objector Day Remarks
Welcome to the 7th annual Berkeley CO and War Resisters' Day. In 2007, the Mayor and the City Council proclaimed May 15th, "…as the day on which Berkeley acknowledges, honors, and celebrates conscientious objectors and war resisters, civilian and military, past, present, and future." May 15th is also International Conscientious Objectors' Day. The City publicly recognized "that conscientious objectors and war resisters, past and present, civilian and military, have, due to conscience and principle, often sacrificed their time and freedom in prison or in exile or underground; and…conscientious objectors and war resisters often worked to end war and have refused for moral, ethical, political or religious reasons to participate in war; and…their resistance to militarism sets a noble example and an outstanding model for our youth and our whole community; and… their strength and their courage in following their consciences is often unsung."
Currently, COs around the world are imprisoned, some on a repeated basis, when they are released and repeatedly refuse to participate in military service. In the United States, U.S. Army PFC. Kimberly Rivera, a pregnant mother of four, was sentenced on April 29th, during a court-martial hearing at Fort Carson, Colorado, to 14 months in military prison and a dishonorable discharge after publicly expressing her conscientious objection to the Iraq War while in Canada. Under the terms of a pre-trial agreement, she will serve 10 months of that sentence. The Army has issued the harshest sentences to COs and war resisters who have publicly expressed their feelings about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Kimberly was also not given the information she needed to file a CO application when she declared her CO beliefs to a U.S. Army chaplain. A petition for her release can be signed here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/752/756/678/free-a-pregnant-war-resister-from-us-military-prison/
Kimberly's recent words before her court martial can be read at http://couragetoresist.org/kimberly-rivera/987-rivera-trial-next-week.html
This year is poignant, also, due to the long anticipated June 3rd starting date of PFC. Bradley Manning's Court Martial trial at Fort Meade, Maryland after over three years of confinement, much of it under torturous conditions, for executing heroic acts of conscience when confronted with U.S. war crimes and the knowledge that his command was complicit with them and that only he could shed light on them.
In recent years, there has been a need, felt globally, to have the right of selective conscientious objection recognized by nations. The U.S. wars of aggression, of the last decade, have caused many U.S. soldiers to wake to the fact that even if they would defend their country militarily, they refuse to fight what they see as illegal and immoral U.S. wars.
The most powerful weapon we have against war is the refusal of the individual to become a soldier and the refusal of the individual soldier to fight. It is his or her ability to say "No" that could stop armies and end wars. With more soldiers willing to desert and more soldiers willing to stand in solidarity with them doing so, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could not have been waged. Mass desertion by military personnel backed by solidarity strikes in the military and in civilian society could stop many illegal wars as well as spread the message that all war is a crime against humanity.
When even drone operators resist illegitimate orders to fight illegal wars, we will end these wars. The list of U.S. and international laws violated by George Bush is long, as is the list of laws broken, so far, by Barack Obama. Much of the law is on our side. But it is misinterpreted, misused, and largely ignored. With grass roots education of soldiers, GI resistance can grow.
More than 200 "GIs have publicly refused service and spoken out against the wars, all risking prison and some serving long sentences. An estimated 250 U.S. war resisters are currently taking refuge in Canada. Countless others leave quietly, disappearing from the ranks, unrecorded by the military." Regardless of how which states define which terms, i.e. conscientious objection, alternative service, noncombatant service, civilian service, etc. what is needed is a worldwide grass roots movement to demand the right of the individual war resister to be respected for his/her individual definitions and limits of what their consciences will allow them to do and not do.
Conscience is an individual's personal moral sense of what is right and what is wrong. It was innately apparent to Bradley Manning that the murders, by his government's military, that he witnessed on video, were wrong. It was clear to him that Iraqi's being handed over to be tortured for having exercised their right to petition was wrong. Real existing U.S. law and international law was on his side. But it has not backed up his actions.
Soldiers like Ethan McCord and Josh Stieber have testified that the murders revealed by Bradley Manning with the leak of the Collateral Murder video, and the Iraq War Logs, and the Afghan War Diaries were not aberrations or isolated incidents. Rather they were routine, everyday occurrences.
In the international legal framework, "Conscientious Objection to military service is based on the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights." [from Conscientious Objection to Military Service, page 7] From that is derived the concept of conscientious objection being based on religion or belief. We must no longer let any state decide what "belief" is acceptable for an individual or a soldier to hold before they are exempt from soldiering or further soldiering. Presently, a distinction is made between a pacifist and a conscientious objector. A CO may be opposed to all war and still believe in the use of personal, physical violence in response to a physical attack on one's person or family. It follows that we must now demand that individuals need the freedom to decide for themselves that even if they would defend their nation's shores from attack in a military capacity, that they still have the right, in every nation, to decide for themselves, to refuse to participate in, or be complicit in any way with, illegal wars of aggression like the imperialist wars waged by the United States in Iraq and in Afghanistan and so many other countries. We must demand the right of Selective Conscientious Objection and support those struggling for that right.
No government ought to be able to discriminate against any conscientious objector to military service based on the nature of that CO's beliefs. Selective conscientious objection, allowing an individual to accept the legitimacy of some military action and still refuse to fight in what his/her own conscience tells him/her is an illegal and immoral war, must be respected and legitimized by all states. Opposition to Apartheid in South Africa was recognized as a legitimate reason to be granted CO status and exemption from military service in South Africa. Political opposition to wars of aggression must also be accepted reasons to grant individuals CO status.
There needs to be CO curriculum taught in high schools, if not also from kindergarten up. There is a need to have the definition of a conscientious objector communicated clearly to soldiers upon their enlistment. And there needs to be an ongoing educational campaign directed toward military officers that it is normal for individuals to evolve and develop and change their beliefs and that they have the right to change their beliefs without fear of penalty, retribution, or retaliation for doing so.
U.S. Iraq war resister Andre shepherd is still in Germany appealing the denial of his asylum application by the German Federal Office. Andre has been very vocal with his opposition to the illegal war policies of the United States.
Attorney James Branum, who has represented many, many conscientious objectors and war resisters has pointed out the fact that resisters, including deserters, who have spoken publicly of their opposition to the illegal U.S. wars of aggression have received longer prison sentences than those who have been silent, many of whom have been discharged without prison time. Many U.S. COs and War Resisters are still in Canada and facing the fear of being deported if they are not granted political asylum by the Canadian government.
There must be nondiscrimination between those who have performed military service and conscientious objectors. Benefits granted by the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, such as healthcare for veterans, housing and education loans, etc., should be granted to conscientious objectors whether or not they have served in the military or performed noncombat service or alternative civilian service if a military draft should return.
Today, there are C0s in hiding, in open sanctuary, and in prison. Tomorrow COs must be honored and celebrated. In Berkeley, we have passed resolutions extending our sanctuary city status for COs to draft registration resisters, draft resisters, if a military draft should be reinstituted, and to military resisters who might be classified as AWOL or as deserters, even if they are not traditional COs, but are only opposed to the illegal and immoral Bush/Cheney/Obama wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. In 2010, the city council passed a resolution entitled, "Universal and Unconditional Amnesty for Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan War Military Resisters and Veterans Who Acted in Opposition to the War for Matters of Conscience." These are the possibilities for more of tomorrow's conscientious objectors and war resisters.

INDIANAPOLIS – Olympian Molly Huddle continued her inspirational season with a masterful victory Saturday morning at the USA 7 Mile Championships in Davenport, Iowa, hosted by the Bix 7, while Sean Quigley upset USA Running Circuit leader Christo Landry over the final quarter mile of the race to win the men's title.
The USA 7 Mile Championships are the eighth stop on the USA Running Circuit, which concludes this fall with the .US National Road Racing Championships. The top ten finishers at each race on the circuit qualify to compete in the .US National Road Racing Championships.
Fresh off her American 5,000m record on the track just over a week ago, Huddle took control of the women's field early. As the runners pushed up the big hill dominating the first mile, Huddle surged ahead of the competition, putting nearly a ten second lead on the field in the first mile.
While teammate and fellow Olympian Amy Hastings, USARC co-leader Sara Hall, rising star Rachel Ward and Mammoth Track Club's Lauren Kleppen led the chase pack, Huddle poured on the quick early pace, establishing over a thirty second lead by the half-way turnaround point. While Hastings started to struggle on the downhill portion of the first half of the race, Hall, Ward and Kleppin positioned themselves in a loose pack, finding themselves alone the rest of the race.
Huddle continued her push after the turnaround, building her lead to a full minute with one mile to go. As Huddle let gravity carry her down the hill to the finish, the Providence-based athlete showed why she's the best American distance runner in the country this season up to this point. Around the final turn, Huddle showed a brilliant smile, arms raised victoriously, hitting the finish line in 36:14.
Over a minute back, Hall pulled away from Ward and Kleppin over the back half of the race to take home second in 37:21. Halls performance was her third runner-up finish of the USARC season. Ward held off Kleppin for third, finishing in 37:30, her second consecutive third place performance on the circuit. Kleppin crossed the finish in 37:35, while Lindsey Scherf rounded out the top five in 38:05.
Veteran Brianne Nelson placed sixth in 28:16, while Hastings, Mattie Suver and Clara Santucci placed 7-8-9, all under 38:45.
From the gun in the men's race, a large pack led by Boston Marathon champion Meb Keflezighi ran fairly conservative for the first half of the race. As the runners crossed the first mile, a pack of nearly 20 runners huddled together, following the lead of the pre-race favorites.
Nothing dramatic transpired until a half mile before the turn around, when Stephen Pifer took the lead and started to push the pace. Pifer, Jonathan Peterson, Keflezighi and Landry traded leads for the next mile, as the comfortable early pace led to a fair amount of second half surges.
With two miles to go the pack narrowed to six athletes, with Pifer and Sean Quigley leading the way, with Keflezighi, Ahmed Osman, Landry and Maverick Darling all hanging on. Another surge from Pifer and this time Landry strung out the field that much more, as the final mile approached. As the runner's made the turn on the large downhill, Quigley and Landry broke from the pack, while Pifer and Darling pulled away from Osman and Keflezighi.
As Landry and Quigley charged ahead, putting distance on Pifer and Darling, the two steamrolled down the hill. While Quigley looked relaxed as the final turn approached, Landry showed a bit of late race fatigue as his head started to bob and his arms flailed. As the sprint to the finish approached, the two traded looks over their shoulders seeing it was a battle of two.
While Quigley and Landry traded leads in the final half mile, once the turn was made, Landry threw down one last push, which Colorado-based Quigley covered and made one final surge of his own, pulling away to victory in 33:28. Landry finished a close second in 33:32.
Darling, in his first full season as a pro, crossed the line an impressive third in 33:43, while Pifer continued his recent success on the roads with a fourth place finish of 33:49.
Team USA Minnesota's Peterson stayed strong over the final two miles of the race with a fifth place finish in 33:55, as Diego Estrada ran a smart race, working his way up throughout, to finish sixth in 34:00, one second ahead of seventh place finisher Elliot Krause. Ahmed Osman, USARC veteran Josphat Boit and Matthew Llano rounded out the top ten.
Landry's runner-up effort scored him another 12 points in the USARC standings, giving him 64 points on the season, a staggering 37 points ahead of current second place Chris Derrick. Hall's victory puts her well up on second place Suver. The two entered Saturday's contest tied with 34 points a piece. Hall's 12 points puts her at 46 points, while Suver maintains her second place spot with 37 points.
The USA Running Circuit now shifts eastward, as the USA 20 km Championships take place in New Haven, Connecticut on September 1.
About the USARC
The USARC is a USA Track & Field road series featuring USA championships from one mile through the marathon and consistently attracts the best American distance runners with more than $500,000 to be awarded in total prize money. A total of $50,00 in prize money was awarded at the USA 7 Mile Championships.
The first ten U.S. runners earn points at each USARC race (15 for first, 12 for second, 10 for third, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1), with those earning the most points receiving prize money at the end of the series.
The mission of the USARC is to showcase, support and promote U.S. runners. Since its inception in 1995, the USARC and its races have provided over $7 million to U.S. distance runners.

Part 2 in a series. Part 1 began with a discussion hypothetical discussion of a ML-like language with linear types.
So in my previous post, I used the REPL loop of an "Imaginary Future Linear ML." In the following month, I've learned that there are no less than three different proposals of Imaginary Future Linear ML. Two of them, Alms and LinearML, are implemented systems that you can presumably download and run onto the device that you're using to read this very blog post!1 The third, F-Pop by Mazurak et al, is, I believe, less seriously implemented but is formalized in Coq (which is also awesome: three cheers for mechanized metatheory!).
I was actually pleased with how much I "guessed correctly" in my discussion. For instance, Alms is a serious implementation of a language with affine, not linear, types: if you recall, affine functions can't use their arguments twice, but they can avoid using them at all. One argument from the Alms designers, which I had not considered, is that requiring a linear type discipline - where all variables get used exactly once along every "control path" - can make it rather difficult to work with handled exceptions.
Another thing that I "guessed" was in Take 3, when I suggested that we might want some syntactic sugar to make code look more like "methods" - the print method takes a string and a linear reference to a string and returns a new linear reference to that string, so why don't we have syntax that supports writing (print "Hello World" outstream) instead of (let outstream = print "Hello World" outstream). The F-Pop paper explicitly discusses this kind of notation in Section 5.2. I like that this is something they considered, though I'm still a little unsure how I feel about it "in practice." What it's doing is capturing a common intuition, that an argument, passed by reference, is both an input and an output. But how much of this intuition is fundamental, and how much is it based on path dependence - we happened to start out with languages like C and Java that force functions to have only one "official" output, so are we just used to being forced into using this unnatural design pattern?
1 Caveat 1: well, as long as you're not using iOS. (I just got an iPad. I am not proud of this but yes, it is shiny.) Caveat 2: I couldn't get either Alms or LinearML to run on my laptop.

There was no Harlem Shake for Nebraska on Saturday. Huskers coach Bo Pelini was unhappy, to put it lightly, with just about everyone and everything during spring drills.
"You could have put a grade-school offense out there against our defense and they would have done well," Pelini said in a short post-practice presser. "It's mental weakness. It's guys giving in when they're tired. It starts with coaching. The coaching's not near where it needs to be and the execution's nowhere near where it needs to be. That pretty much sums it all up."
Pelini didn't spare the defense, either.
"I'm ashamed of what I just watched on that practice field."
There is indeed a long way to go between today and the first game of the season — Nebraska opens on Aug. 31 against Wyoming — so what happened today isn't necessarily indicative of how things will go in 2013, or even the rest of spring.
Nebraska has been solid in five seasons under Pelini, winning at least nine games each of those years and appearing in three conference championships dating back to the program's Big 12 days.
But there is a growing edge. The Huskers have yet to win any of those conference championships under Pelini. Last season, Pelini's team gave up 70 points to a 7-5 Wisconsin team that struggled with an offensive identity for most of the season.
Can they get over the hump in 2013?
"Call it what it is," Pelini said. "We've got a long, long, long way to go."

Nerd Rapper Mac Lethal Makes Pancakes Over Chris Brown's 'Look at Me Now'
There's no shortage of karaoke videos of people rapping to Chris Brown's braggadocios anthem 'Look at Me Now.' But how about making pancakes to the bouncy club track? That's what Mac Lethal did in a video that he posted on YouTube.
The Kansas City, MO, rapper tries his skills at speed-rapping over Breezy's hit while cooking his favorite breakfast food and drinking orange juice.
In the video, Lethal shows off his impressive lyrical dexterity over a hot stove and a microphone. He even manages to name-check Rihanna, Penn State scoundrel Jerry Sandusky, actor Danny DeVito and taxidermist Chuck Testa while flipping hotcakes like he's at IHOP.
He spits, "Yellow cheese, eggs / White pancake batta / Put a little bit up on the skillet when it starts to bubble flip it over with your spatula / Yeah yeah, that s— looks like my breakfast / I gotta remember to flip the m—–f—er over after cookin' it for 30 seconds / Ladies love me, I got my OJ."

Major Section: PROGRAMMING
This package imports the standard Common Lisp symbols that ACL2
supports and also a few symbols from package
"ACL2" that are
commonly used when interacting with ACL2. You may prefer to select
this as your current package so as to avoid colliding with ACL2
system names.
This package imports the symbols listed in
*common-lisp-symbols-from-main-lisp-package*, which contains
hundreds of CLTL function and macro names including those supported
by ACL2 such as
car, and
cdr. It also imports the symbols in
*acl2-exports*, which contains a few symbols that are frequently
used while interacting with the ACL2 system, such as
defthm, and
rewrite. It imports nothing else.
Thus, names such as
member-equal, and
type-set, which are
defined in the
"ACL2" package are not present here. If you find
yourself frequently colliding with names that are defined in
"ACL2" you might consider selecting
"ACL2-USER" as your current
package (see in-package). If you select
"ACL2-USER" as the
current package, you may then simply type
member-equal to refer to
acl2-user::member-equal, which you may define as you see fit. Of
course, should you desire to refer to the
"ACL2" version of
member-equal, you will have to use the
"ACL2::" prefix, e.g.,
If, while using
"ACL2-USER" as the current package, you find that
there are symbols from
"ACL2" that you wish we had imported into
it (because they are frequently used in interaction), please bring
those symbols to our attention. For example, should
universal-theory be imported? Except for stabilizing on the
``frequently used'' names from
"ACL2", we intend never to define a
symbol whose

We follow a bottom-up process based on a disciplined evaluation of companies through direct visits. We believe stock selection is the major source of alpha. No stock is bought without our equity managers having first met management, and detailed notes then written. We estimate a company's worth in two stages: quality then price. Quality is defined in reference to management, business focus, balance sheet and corporate governance. Price is calculated relative to key financial ratios, market, peer group and business prospects.
Top-down factors are secondary in portfolio construction, with diversification rather than formal controls guiding geographical and sector weights. Little regard is paid to stock size, other than to ensure liquidity. Aberdeen portfolios are generally conservatively run, with an emphasis on traditional buy-and-hold, with top-slicing/topping up preferred to outright trades, resulting in low turnover. Typically they have higher return on equity/assets and lower debt-to-equity than market average.
Portfolios are managed on a team basis, with investment managers doing their own research and analysis. Teams operate independently but each has a model portfolio that contains its best ideas, and form the basis for portfolios, be they retail or institutional. All ideas are shared via formal committees and common databases, with desk heads and the CIO enforcing consistency across the Group.

New Delhi: India's triple jumper Renjith Maheshwary suffered a massive set-back Thursday as the sports ministry decided not to give him the Arjuna Award after detailed investigations revealed that the athlete had indeed failed a dope test during the national championships in 2008.
"The ministry with considerable regret announces that the Arjuna Award for 2013 will not be conferred on Shri Renjith Maheshwary," the ministry said in a statement.
Maheshwary was earlier selected by the ministry for the Arjuna Award but was later put on standby after media reports claimed that he had failed a dope test in 2008.
On detailed investigations, the ministry found Maheshwary was detected to have used banned substance ephedrine during the 46th National Athletic Championships at Kochi in 2008.
The sample was collected Sep 8, 2008, and given to the National Dope Testing Laboratory Sep 15, 2008.
NDTL in its report Oct 3 found that the A-sample of Maheshwary contained ephedrine in levels far above even among those to whom it is administered for therapeutic purposes.
Maheshwary had not reported using ephedrine for medicinal purposes during the collection of the sample.
He was immediately suspended by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) pending inquiry.
"On Jan 10, 2009, Maheshwary was awarded a punishment of a ban for three months starting from Oct 13, 2008. Maheshwary was also disqualified from the said championships. This was communicated to him by the Director of the Athletic Federation of India vide his letter No. F.7-4/AFI/MC/2009 dated January 10. A copy of the said letter is available with the ministry," the release said.
The ministry, however, has doubts regarding the acceptability of the sample from Maheshwary.
"It is possible that the report of the National Dope Testing Laboratory may not be an acceptable 'Adverse Analytical Finding' and that the chain of custody of the sample may not have been sufficiently foolproof."
"However, the ministry has noted that Maheshwary has never protested against the findings of the inquiry committee or the punishment awarded by the competent authority. His acceptance of the punishment, despite the flaws in collection and analysis of the sample, has made the punishment final," the statement added.
The ministry also maintained that Maheshwary has never been found guilty of using a performance enhancing substance since 2008 but since the rules for the Arjuna Awards are explicit, the honour cannot be conferred on Maheshwary.
"Since such individuals cannot be granted the Arjuna Award, the ministry decided to keep the award to Maheshwary in abeyance, pending an inquiry into the allegations," the release said.
The ministry also blasted the AFI for its failure to provide full details of the case and show caused it for referring the athlete for the award.
"In the absence of records from the AFI, the details of the event had to be reconstructed from other sources. The AFI has been asked to explain this inability to provide critical information. They have also been asked to explain how they nominated Maheshwary for the Arjuna Award in the first place," the statement added.
In order to avoid such situations in future, the ministry has decided to create a new set of standard operating practices.

Gamers can ditch their Armani for this Pac-Man suitCategories:Fashion
OppoSuits is a company that has consistently provided with some interesting designs and thematics for those who would like to throw in some life into the world of suiting. The suit, tie and trouser ensemble carries the typical interface of the Pac-Man game, complete with the maze-like grid, ghosts and a number of Pac-Men all across the seam. This would make viewing the coat or the wearer a difficult task but what it does put into place is the perspective of just how loyal an 8-bit fan, the wearer really is.
OppoSuits was founded in 2012 and has won its place in the hearts of the radically dressed. From Halloween coats to a suit completely coated with cannabis leaf patterns, the company has shocked and surprised the world of fashion. Why not?

Southfield-based Redico LLC has expanded into a new real estate market with the purchase of a Chicago office building and will open a new office there.
Redico bought the 80,000-square-foot 10 North Dearborn office and retail building in Chicago's Loop area for $11.5 million, according to Washington, D.C.-based real estate information service CoStar Group Inc.
The real estate development and investment company also hired Robert Horne as senior vice president of investments. He will run Redico's Chicago operations out of the building. Another one or two employees may be added as deal flow increases, said Dietrich Knoer, chief investment officer for Redico.
The sale closed on Dec. 30.
"Considering the investment cycle and capital flow into Chicago, we think an expansion into the Chicago market at this time makes sense for Redico," Dale Watchowski, CEO, COO and president, said in a news release.
Redico, founded in 1967, is a developer and property manager and also owns other assets such as being the majority owner of American House retirement communities. In Detroit, it's the developer of the $72-million Gateway Marketplace project, which opened in June and has Detroit's first Meijer Inc. store as its anchor, and the planned redevelopment of the former Michigan State Fairgrounds site. That mixed-use development project is valued at up to $160 million.
Both Detroit projects are along Eight Mile Road at Woodward Avenue.
Redico's nationwide real estate portfolio is valued at more than $1 billion and includes more than 13.5 million square feet of office, retail, medical and senior housing.

Stars' Clockwork Motion Captured in Nearby Galaxy
This photo illustration shows Hubble measurements of the rotation of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the nearest visible galaxy to our Milky Way. The LMC appears in the Southern Hemisphere's night sky. In this photo illustration, the image contrast in a ground-based photo was enhanced to highlight the LMC's faint outer regions, which are not visible to the naked eye. To illustrate the LMC's large apparent size on the sky, an image of the full moon is shown at bottom right. A horizon has been added for perspective.
The arrows represent the highest-quality Hubble measurements of the motion of the LMC's stars to show how this galaxy rotates. Each arrow reveals the predicted motion over the next 7 million years. The motion of each star measured by Hubble over a few years' time is a million times smaller than the length of each arrow. The LMC completes a rotation every 250 million years.

Tunawesmake is a crap slogan.
There are no two ways about it. But because it is crap it may work. Any kind of publicity is good. With everyone going on and on about how a bad slogan it is, everyone is talking about it and by extension the candidate which is what the campaign team wants.
Tunawesmake is Peter Kenneth's campaign slogan. Kenneth has launched his presidential bid on a Kenya National Congress ticket.
In the recent past I have gotten cynical about the mundane nature of Kenyan politics and therefore I have been giving the party and presidential launches a wide berth. However I sat through the Kenneth's launch and it availed some food for thought.
His speech was impressive. It was sober, issue-based and grounded. When he spoke of the fiscal discipline he will instil in governance it struck a chord, when he talked of his up-bringing in Bahati by a single-mum who struggled to take him to Starehe Boys, I saw someone who knows real Kenyan struggles.
If anything, I pray that the speech heralds a new dawn of issue-based politics in Kenya.
The launch itself felt too pre-planned and airbrushed. One could see echoes of Obama '08. Also many of the speakers did not move his agenda forward and some performances like Amani's were painful to watch. While we are it, Big Ted and Jua Kali are really making a fortune out of the political launches without committing to any candidate.
19-year-old Andrew Kenneth's speech was a bright spot in the launch. It appeared honest and real. He certainly will aid his dad lock down further the female vote. It also heralds a new fad in Kenyan politics were family are part of the package of the candidate.
Peter Kenneth spoke of the iron-discipline instilled by his mum and by Starehe Boys but for him to connect with voters methinks he needs to loosen up.
Politics is about emotions, liking & other non-tangibles. The launch and the Kenneth campaign so far have gone for logic and sense.
Clearly him (and his son) have strong appeal to young urban women voters. He also appeals to urban male voters who tend to be thinking voters.
His campaign team needs to figure out how to sell him to the emotional voters. The ones who vote due to euphoria, tribal reasons or our-man-said-we-vote thus. The kind of voters who have no qualms voting for the likes of Sonko or Waititu. Unfortunately they make the biggest number of voters in Kenya.
Some questions that Peter Kenneth will have to answer are;
His identity – In Central, he is derogatorily referred to as Kamuthungu with Muthungu being Kikuyu for White man. People are already asking what is his 'Kenyan' name.
His source of wealth – He was raised in Bahati by a single-mum, his school fees in Starehe was paid for by a well-wisher, how then did he became as rich as he is now?
Is he over-reaching – Gatanga Constituency Development Fund under his patronage has been run well. Many expected him to then run for Governor of Murang'a County. His insistence of being in presidential race raises eyebrows. Is he a plant? Is he just making a point and positioning for 2017?
All in all, his one-party, no alliances, no mention or name-calling of other aspirants and sticking to issues is different from regular Kenya political fodder.
Methinks, Peter Kenneth's launch will occasion a rethink in strategy by other parties and presidential aspirants.
The ICC ticket of Uhuru and Ruto is court-prone. Its take-off is dependent on the integrity case lodged at the Supreme Court and its success is dependent Kenyans feelings about having a president and running mate entangled in the ICC court process.
Raila's campaign is currently blunder-prone. He is a far-cry from the invincible candidate of 2007 who inspired mega-support. Cases in point – Why pray did he apologize to the Kalejin community and not to entire country? And exactly what is this mistake he is apologizing for? Also as a self-declared proponent of democracy and reforms how can Raila ask his brother Oburu and his long-time friend Orengo who are competing for the Siaya Senate seat to share out positions? Don't the electorate have a say?
Martha Karua's campaign appears to have currently run out of steam and she has fallen off the radar. She also has to contend with what I will call the Baraza-effect. Nancy Baraza's alleged nose-pinching incident has shown women in authority in a bad light and Martha is unfortunately reaping this.
Musalia Mudavadi and Kalonzo Musyoka are non-starters. They are both KANU orphans who are so used to the Mtukufu Rais phenomena and thus cannot or have never learnt how to walk with their own two feet.
Enter Kenneth! Anawesmake?
I don't know but it is shaping up to be an intriguing couple of months as we count down to March 4, 2013.
PS: What if Kenneth and Martha were to set aside their egos and come together as one ticket?

Star Trek Birthday
From The Register ...
Trekkies hit Seattle for show's 40th birthday
Stars rub shoulders with hoi polloi
By Lester Haines More by this author
Published Friday 8th September 2006 15:47 GMT
Star Trek fans and cast members are assembling in Seattle for a three-day shindig to celebrate the show's fortieth Birthday.
The first episode of the cult space adventure franchise was shown in the US on 8 September 1966.
Among the stars rubbing shoulders with the hoi polloi are Nichelle Nichols (Nyota Uhuru), George Takei (Hikaru Sulu), Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov), Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) and Jonathan Frakes (William Ryker).
Notable by his absence, sadly, is James T Kirk. This is, however, unsuprising given recent reports that other original cast members declined to become involved in any sort of reunion with William Shatner due to the simple fact that they didn't much like him.
Back on the anniversary conference website, meanwhile, sci-fi author Arthur C Clarke says of Star Trek: "Over the years the sophistication of storylines and special effects has certainly improved. But Star Trek retains its core values - still very much needed in our sadly divided and quarrelling world."
The celebrations go on until Sunday. Full details here. ®

| Saved by the Beldum
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Saved by the Beldum (Japanese: 予備選スタート!マスムネ登場!! Start the Preliminaries! Masamune Appears!!) is the 126th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 400th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 28, 2005 and in the United States on March 11, 2006.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Where's Morrison? That's the question on Ash's mind as he trains his Pokémon in preparation for the big tournament in Ever Grande City. When Morrison finally makes his appearance, he and Ash immediately start up their friendly rivalry again, which leads to them falling into a Team Rocket pit trap! Tyson and his Meowth in boots show up just in time to help out—Tyson's Meowth defeats Team Rocket's Meowth once more, using Iron Tail to send the villains flying.
Once everyone is registered for the tournament, the one-on-one preliminary rounds get underway. Morrison and Beldum face a Trainer with an Electabuzz, and Morrison is relying solely on Beldum's Take Down attack. This doesn't work too well until Beldum evolves into Metang and wins the match. As for Tyson, his Meowth takes some hits from a Persian, then comes back to win its first round. But once Persian is knocked out, Meowth charges after it and Tyson must recall it to its Poké Ball.
Tyson later explains why his Meowth is so troubled. When he met Meowth, it was lying hurt in a forest after a Persian defeated it in a battle for leadership. Tyson took care of Meowth, which was how it got its boots—originally they were just to help protect its injured legs. But to this day it still has a grudge against Persian.
And now it's Ash's turn to battle! Pikachu handily wins its round, so all three Trainers can look forward to their next challenge in the Hoenn League.

After many exciting adventures in Hoenn, Ash has finally made it to his fourth official tournament, the Hoenn League. Not wanting to let the other competitors get ahead of him, we find Ash along with Pikachu, Corphish, Swellow, Torkoal, Grovyle and a new addition to the team, Glalie, training on the beach in preparation for the tough battles ahead of them. Watching them is May, Max and Brock. May however, seems more interested in the sights, sounds and food of Ever Grande City than Ash training his Pokémon. While Brock suggests that they should go to a Pokémon Center, Ash decides to do some attack training in order to get his Pokémon ready for the Preliminaries that would take place later that day: at Ash's command, Grovyle performs a Quick Attack along the beach, while dodging Pikachu's Thunderbolts and Glalie's Ice Beam.
However, the intense training is soon interrupted by an old face: chasing after a runaway rice ball is a short, overweight boy with ginger hair. It's Morrison, a Trainer that Ash had met two months previously. Not paying attention to what is going on around him, Morrison fails to notice Glalie's Ice Beam heading towards him until it's too late. At which point, the power of the attack throws him into nearby water. Luckily, he's not badly hurt and emerges in a block of solid ice. After recovering, Morrison pulls out a small, blue hourglass shaped Badge from his Badge case. It's the last Badge he needed to gain entrance into the Hoenn League, which Brock congratulates him on. Not wanting to be left out, Glalie pops up behind Ash's head to say hello, which Morrison instantly recognizes as the Snorunt that he had met the first time he and Ash met each other two months ago.
Suddenly, Morrison notices the rest of Ash's Pokémon team and is amazed and remarks at how cool they are. Ash then mentions the training that they've been doing, which prompts Morrison to call out his team to compare them. His team consists of Growlithe, Gligar, Swampert, Steelix, Girafarig and his main Pokémon Beldum, all of which receive approving comments from both Ash and Brock.
However, as seen the last time they met, Ash and Morrison cannot keep their friendly rivalry suppressed for too long, as they soon get excited at the chance to compete again and run off together into a nearby forest leaving Brock and both their Pokémon teams in the dust.
As Ash and Morrison race against each other, both boys become oblivious to what is going on around them, which results in both of them falling into what must be all-too-familiar to Ash: a pitfall. Before they can do more than wonder what is going on, three familiar faces in the form of Jessie, James and Meowth appear and begin to recite their motto. After they finish, Ash and Morrison both shout angrily at the troublesome trio, who are looking down triumphantly at their Pokémon-less captures. Team Rocket then stirs up the two boys as they brag about how they're going to take off all their Pokémon.
Meowth then turns around, and excitedly suggests that they go get the Pokémon, and Jessie and James happily agree, thrusting their arms in the air. However, before Team Rocket can go claim their prize, a brown haired boy wearing a long green jacket and red shirt, along with his Meowth (Wearing cowboy style boots and a hat with a feather in it.) stop them in their tracks. As Meowth becomes aggravated at Tyson's Meowth's blunt taunt, Ash happily recognizes the voice of the boy as Tyson, a Trainer he met the day before who had helped him stop Team Rocket getting away with Pikachu. While all this is going on, Meowth is becoming more and more working up at Tyson's Meowth cool and calm attitude, to which Tyson's Meowth simply smirks. This however only causes Meowth to become more aggravated, even causing red veins to appear in his eyes. At this point, Meowth decides to forget all about taking Ash and Morrison's Pokémon, extends his claws and hurl himself at still calm Tyson's Meowth. James screams at Meowth to stop, and a worried Jessie tries to remind Meowth that they have to go get the boy's Pokémon, but to no avail as Meowth is too busy racing towards Tyson's Meowth in pure rage.
Tyson, as calm as his Pokémon, commands his Meowth to perform an Iron Tail attack. Its tail glows and hardens, and it swings around, smashing its tail right into his less experienced foe. The power of this attack sends Meowth flying backwards straight into his comrades causing Team Rocket to blast off again into the depths of the forest.
With Team Rocket gone, Ash and Morrison are able to climb out of the pitfall that the three villains dug for them. Ash happily greets Tyson, and Tyson asks the two boys if they're okay. Ash says that they are, and Morrison thanks Tyson for helping them. Suddenly, Brock runs up, out of breath and with a worried look on his face. He came to remind Morrison that time was running out for the Hoenn League Tournament. Scared that he might not be able to take part in the league after all his hard work of collecting Badges, Morrison instantly runs off to register, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
The scene cuts to later that day, where Ash and friends along with Tyson and his Meowth, are talking with Morrison, who just managed to register with five minutes to spare. May asks about Team Rocket, and Morrison tells her with his arms out spread that Tyson and his Meowth saved them. Tyson then decides that it's time for them to go, and Meowth walks out of the Pokémon Center, with Tyson following a few seconds later. Ash calls out to Tyson, and he turns his head back and tells Ash and Morrison to do their best. Ash says that he will, and Tyson leaves. Pikachu then jumps off Ash's shoulder and waves goodbye to the departing Trainer and his Meowth. The group then talks about the upcoming battles, and May asks if they'll be okay, but both boys seem confident.
The scene then cuts to another preliminary battle, but this time, it's Morrison battling. Ash and May both wish him good luck as he and his Beldum face off against a Trainer named Jump and his Electabuzz. To start things off, Morrison orders a Take Down attack, and Beldum immediately fires itself right at the opposing Electric Pokémon. Jump and Electabuzz however do not seem worried, and Jump taunts Morrison and orders Electabuzz to use Protect. Electabuzz does so, shielding itself with its arms. This defensive maneuver pays off, as the force of its attack being blocked sends Beldum flying back and smashing into the battlefield. Morrison tells Beldum to get up, as Ash and his friends look on worried. However, Ash is confident that Beldum will pull through. Morrison once again orders a Take Down attack, and once again, Jump simply laughs the attack off and orders for Electabuzz to use Protect again. This has the same result as last time, and Beldum is once again sent flying back.
Changing his tactics, Jump commands a Thunder Punch attack. Electabuzz jumps up above Beldum and charges up its throbbing arm with powerful electrical energy, and smashes it right into Beldum, who is still on the floor and recovering from its last attack. Morrison calls out to Beldum, who is struggling to get up after the point-blank attack it just received. However, he's not the only one who is worried, as Ash, who is watching the battle in the audience, clenches both his fists in frustration at Morrison and Beldum not being able to land a successful attack. As Beldum is unable to use an attack other than Take Down, Morrison orders it once again. Jump again does not seem worried, and orders Electabuzz to use Protect again. However, Beldum continues to charge into Electabuzz with all its might, forcing Jump to order a Quick Attack. Electabuzz does so, thrusting its body and Beldum forward with its attack, and smashes Beldum right into the stadium wall. Morrison then sees his chance to attack again, and orders a Take Down, which this time, pushes Electabuzz back. Jump does not seem worried, and orders a Thunderbolt attack at point-blank range at the speeding Beldum. The force of the powerful electrical attack smashes Beldum right into the stadium ground again. Morrison urges the Steel-type Pokémon to continue battling, and Beldum struggles to get up. Jump, convinced of victory, orders another Thunder Punch attack. Electabuzz charges up its arm once again, but just before it can land a blow, Beldum starts glowing pure white. As the white light expands, Electabuzz is knocked back, as everyone including Morrison, looks on in amazement. Still wrapped in pure light, Beldum grows bigger, and when the light fades, standing there proudly is Metang. Beldum has evolved!
Ash checks Metang with his Pokédex while Morrison stands there, still amazed at what has just happened. Realizing he's still in the middle of a battle, Morrison decides to finish things off. Jump, snapping out of his initial surprise, orders another Thunder Punch. Electabuzz charges and leaps towards Metang to deliver the final blow, but Morrison orders a Confusion just in time, which instantly freezes the Electric Pokémon in mid-air. Morrison tells Metang to use Take Down to deliver the final blow. Metang locks its arms into place, and rockets towards the still frozen Electabuzz allowing Metang to smash right into it delivering maximum damage and knocking Electabuzz down for the count. The referee announces that Electabuzz is unable to battle, and that Morrison and his Metang are the winners. Ash congratulates Morrison as the boy excitedly tells Ash that he did it.
However, outside the stadium, not everything is as innocent and happy as Morrison. Lurking in the shadows are two familiar faces, with two very familiar evil smiles on those faces. What could they be planning this time?
Not much, apparently. Never allowing a money-making scheme to pass them by, Team Rocket decide to go back to their tried and tested plan of making money from selling snacks to the League spectators. However, while Jessie and James seem happy enough, Meowth is less than impressed.
The scene then cuts to yet another preliminary battle, this time with Tyson and his trademark Meowth. Ash and friends along with Morrison appear, and Ash calls out to Tyson, and May wishes the young boy luck. Max however, is too busy looking at the Pokémon belonging to Tyson's opponent: Persian, the evolved form of the very Pokémon Tyson is choosing for his battle, Meowth. In control of the Persian is Vivica. She suggests that they get the battle started, while Tyson's Meowth becomes more and more aggravated at the sight of its evolved form. Seeing this, the young girl's Persian says something which causes Tyson's Meowth to become even more frustrated, almost to the point of pure rage.
Max remarks that this match-up of Meowth and Persian will make for an interesting battle, as the two feline Pokémon continue to stare each other out waiting for the battle to start. Unlike Max, Team Rocket are not interested in the battle, as they continue to wander the stadium stands selling food. Meowth then notices that Tyson's Meowth is battling, but James snaps at him to focus on their work.
Finally, the referee starts the match and Tyson's Meowth instantly dashes towards Persian without even waiting for an attack order. Ash and friends are shocked by this sudden action, but Tyson remains calm and orders a Slash attack. Meowth extends its claws and leaps towards Persian, but its vicious slash is dodged by its evolved counterpart as it leaps up to avoid the attack. Seeing an opening, Vivica quickly tells Persian to use its Fury Swipes as it lands. Persian quickly turns around and jumps towards Tyson's Meowth, using its claws to land several vicious blows on the young feline. Tyson quickly orders a Double Team attack, and Meowth back flips and creates several identical clones of itself which surround Persian. Unfazed by Meowth's sneaky attack, Vivica orders a Water Pulse attack, creating huge pulses of water to surge through the battlefield which destroys the Meowth copies and hits the real Meowth, sending it flying back. Meowth manages to land on its feet however, as Ash shouts encouragement to Tyson. Deciding it's time to finish things off, Vivica calls for Shadow Ball, which smashes Meowth right into the Stadium wall. Not one to give up however, Meowth thrusts himself forward as Tyson orders an Iron Tail. Meowth leaps into the air and smashes its tail into Persian, who is sent spiraling backwards. Not wanting to give Vivica a moment to recover, Tyson orders a Thunderbolt attack, which Vivica counters by telling her Persian to Dig underground in order to avoid the attack. Meowth charges up its energy, and shoots out its electrical attack right at the hole that Persian escaped through. The attack rips right through the ground until it hits its target, and Persian is thrust straight out of its underground hiding place and out into the open once again, screaming as it's still being shocked by the Thunderbolt mid-air. The attack eventually ends, and Persian is sent smashing into the ground and out for the count. Vivica calls out to her Pokémon the referee announces that it is unable to battle and that Tyson and Meowth are the winners. However, Meowth does not want to battle to end there, and it extends its claws once again and runs towards the fallen Persian. Tyson attempts to hold Meowth back, but Meowth frees itself from its Trainer's grip and leaps towards Persian as Ash, Jessie and James all wonder what is going on. But before it can attack, Tyson calls Meowth back to its Poké Ball and stares sadly at the red and white ball which holds his comrade.
We then see the group outside of the stadium, standing around Tyson who is still holding Meowth's ball. Eavesdropping into the conversation is Team Rocket's Meowth. Tyson explains that one day, while he was traveling through a snow-covered forest, he happened across a pack of wild Meowth, headed by a Persian. One of the Meowth was battling against the Persian, but was losing badly as the rest of the pack watched on. The Persian used Fury Swipes, knocking the Meowth back, and then Shadow Ball to knock the young feline back. The Persian and the rest of the group then walked off, leaving the young Meowth in the middle of the snow. Tyson then explains how he took the young Meowth and nursed it back to health, and bandaged up its damaged legs. When Meowth was finally conscious again, Tyson gave him a pair of boots to take the strain off walking and started training him on how to walk on his damaged feet.
As Tyson finishes off his story, the group realize why Meowth had been so wild when it battled Persian and how hard it must have been to take a beating like that again. Due to his own experiences with Persians, Team Rocket's Meowth cannot help but cry at Tyson's story.
The scene then cuts to Ash's preliminary battle, against a young, martial arts user called Gilbert and his Hitmonlee. Tyson, Brock, Max, May and Morrison cheer Ash on from the audience, and the referee starts the battle off. Both Pikachu and Hitmonlee charge towards each other, with Gilbert commanding a Rolling Kick, and Ash ordering Iron Tail. Hitmonlee leaps towards Pikachu and kicks hard with its extendable legs, but Pikachu quickly dodges and quickly unleashes its Iron Tail on Ash's command, sending Hitmonlee crashing down to earth. Tyson remarks on Pikachu's incredible speed. Gilbert tells Hitmonlee to use High Jump Kick, and Hitmonlee attempts to hit Pikachu while combining its attack with forward flips. Pikachu, however, uses the amazing speed which Tyson just commented on to dodge all three kicks, leading Hitmonlee further and further towards the stadium wall. Seeing its chance, Hitmonlee thrusts forward to attack, but Pikachu dodges once again at the last moment, making Hitmonlee hurt its knee against the hard surface of the stadium wall. Both Pokémon land and face-off, but Hitmonlee starts to feel the pain of its strained leg. As Hitmonlee's legs are its main source of attacking, they are also its weak spot, and so Gilbert senses that he'll have to end the battle fast, even if it means taking a risk. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, and Gilbert tells Hitmonlee to use Mega Kick. The fighting Pokémon responds, and smashes its foot hard into Pikachu, but it feels pain while doing so, which Ash senses. Thinking fast, he orders an Iron Tail just before both Pokémon hit the ground. The impact of the attacks causes a dust cloud to appear, and when it clears, Pikachu has smashed straight into Hitmonlee's head with its Iron Tail, after using the attack to cushion the blow of the vicious kick attack. Hitmonlee falls to the ground, and Pikachu is declared the winner. Ash congratulates his best friend as it jumps into his arms for a celebration hug.
The episode ends with a celebration event to mark the start of the real Hoenn League Tournament, with Ash being the one chosen to light the sacred League torch. However, watching on television are Professor Oak, Delia, Tracey, Misty, Norman and Caroline. Ash lights the torch, while the celebration balloons float off into the distance.

GOLDSBORO � The New Bern Bears were seeking a big defensive stop. They held a slight one-touchdown lead late in the third quarter.
GOLDSBORO � The New Bern Bears were seeking a big defensive stop. They held a slight one-touchdown lead late in the third quarter.
Junior linebacker Sha'mond Squires made the play of the night.
He reached up and snagged an interception with one hand and returned it 40 yards into Eastern Wayne territory.
New Bern found the end zone on its next offensive drive, and the Bears escaped with a 34-12 victory over the Warriors Friday night in Goldsboro.
�The defense, we just made a big play,� Squires said. �(Defensive) Coach (Steve) Lovitt put me in the right position to make that play.
�I made a big play for the defense so that the offense could get back out there and get in the end zone again.�
Squires has two interceptions. The first was against West Craven. This one helped the Bears (5-2, 2-0 Eastern Carolina) continue their five-game win streak and stay atop the conference standings.
�It was a big momentum change,� said senior running back Cody Purdie. �We play harder each and every quarter, no matter what the clock says.�
Quarterback Michael Hughes capitalized on the forced turnover with a 9-yard touchdown run, his third of the game, with 1:52 remaining in the third.
Hughes put the game away when he connected with wide receiver Diondre Pool for a 21-yard score on fourth-and-14 with 5:28 left in the game.
�We knew it was going to be a good game,� Purdie said. �We knew we had a tough opponent. We had to make sure we came out and played like we practiced.
�We put in hard work this way, and it showed off.�
New Bern scored first on a Hughes' 1-yard run in the first, but Eastern Wayne responded with a K.K. Best touchdown run.
Hughes added an 8-yard touchdown run late in the quarter, and then completed a 54-yard touchdown pass to Theron Noble with 2:45 left until halftime.
Eastern Wayne cut its deficit to 20-12 by the intermission when Deshawn Boudy hauled in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Pike.
�I thought, at times, we played flat, but that had a lot to do with Eastern Wayne,� New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. �(Eastern Wayne) came out and played hard.
�They are a very scrappy, well-coached team. They did a lot of things to keep us off-balance.�
Hughes threw for 233 yards and ran for 58 for the Bears, who tallied 469 yards of offense. Purdie ran for 165 yards on 21 carries.
�I had a read outside,� Purdie said. �I saw my receivers and linemen blocking on the outside. I broke to the outside a lot instead of going up the middle.�
Pool had two catches for 72 yards and Noble had three receptions for 66 yards.
New Bern's defense forced two turnovers � both interceptions. James Fields had an interception, and the Bears' defensive backs dropped three potential interceptions.
Pike, the Warriors junior quarterback, completed 17-of-30 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Boudy had eight receptions for 112 yards.
New Bern hosts South Central next Friday.

1) How old is your great-grandfather now, or how old would he be if he had lived? Divide this number by 4 and round the number off to a whole number. This is your "roulette number."
2) Use your pedigree charts or your family tree genealogy software program to find the person with that number in your ahnentafel (ancestor name list). Who is that person?
3) Tell us three facts about that person with the "roulette number."
4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook or Google Plus note or comment, or as a comment on this blog post.
5) If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number" then spin the wheel again - pick a grandparent, a parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, or even your children!
After doing all the math, I am ready to go! My maternal great-grandfather Michael H. Yawman was born in 1842 and would be 168 years old if he were alive. Dividing by 4 gave me a nice whole number of 42 (no fractions here, yay!). Number 42 on my ahnentafel list is Absolem D. Eaton, one of my paternal 3rd great-grandfathers. Here is what it says about him:
42. Absolem D. Eaton, son of Abraham Eaton and Mary, was born 11 Jan 1793 in Rowan Co., NC, died on 20 Nov 1859, and was buried in Bismarck, St. Francois, Missouri.
- He married Sarah Reaves (daughter of James) on 21 March 1815 in Haywood County, North Carolina. [Source: "North Carolina Marriage Collection, 1741-2004," online database, Ancestry (www.ancestry.com : accessed 20 Mar 2011), Absolam Eaton and Sarah Reaves; citing County Court Records at Waynesville, NC and FHL # 0418147 item 2.]
- In 1825, Absolem purchased 80 acres of public land in Washington County, Missouri; here is a copy of the patent:
|Bureau of Land Management, "General Land Office Records,"
online database and images (www.glorecords.blm.gov : accessed 3 Sep 2011),
entry for Absalom Eaton, Accession Nr. MO0570.565.
- In the 1850 U.S. census, Absolem, his wife Sarah, and youngest daughter Martha, were enumerated in Concord Township, Washington County, Missouri. Absolem, a farmer, owned real estate valued at $500. This was the last census on which he was enumerated. [Source: 1850 U.S. census, population schedule, Concord, Washington, Missouri, p. 125A, family 508, household of Absalom Eaton; digital images, Ancestry (www.ancestry.com : accessed 14 Jan 2010); citing National Archives and Records Administration microfilm M432, roll M432_421.]
Completing this challenge, I discovered I have much less information than I thought regarding my Eaton ancestors. I need to develop a research plan for this family!

text: The Nets' season doesn't begin for nearly six weeks, but one of their guys has already gotten hurt. Luckily, it doesn't seem too serious. From the Associated Press: "Deron Williams has a sprained right ankle and a bone bruise, but the Brooklyn Nets say their point guard will be ready for the start of training camp. The Nets said Wednesday that Williams was hurt recently while working out in Utah and is wearing a walking boot. Brooklyn has its first practice Oct. 1 at Duke University. Williams struggled through minor injuries early last season and finally sat out a week in February after he was diagnosed with synovitis, which is inflammation of the ankle joint linings. He received platelet rich plasma treatment on both ankles and played much better after the All-Star break, finishing with averages of 18.9 points and 7.7 assists in 78 games."

BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea DLC Release Date Washes Up
We've been teased about BioShock Infinite's Burial at Sea DLC for a few months now, with no sign of when we'd be able to play. Friday, Irrational finally revealed the release date for the first installment.
Burial at Sea will arrive on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on Nov. 12. The DLC will cost $9.99 on its own, but season pass owners will get the content for free. The first of two planned add-ons set in Rapture, Burial at Sea finds Booker and Elizabeth in very different but familiar roles. This story happens to take place before the fall of Rapture, so it's been a much different world to explore than the one we witnessed in the original game.
"This is a love letter to the fans, but it's also the beginning of a story that will give gamers a new perspective on the BioShock universe," said Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games. "With Burial at Sea, we built a Rapture not from BioShock and BioShock Infinite scraps and pieces, but with environments almost entirely crafted from scratch."
In addition to new story content, Burial at Sea will see the return of the weapon wheel, as well as the inclusion of new weapons and plasmids. There will also be new gear and tears to uncover, too. While we'll still have to wait a few weeks to play, at least the DLC will arrive before all the new consoles.

Catoosa County was originally part of Walker and Whitfield counties. Designated in 1853, the county borrows its name from a prominent landmark, Catoosa Springs. Ringgold, the county seat, is named for Major Samuel Ringgold who died in the first engagement of the Mexican War.
Within Catoosa County boundaries lies a large preserve at the site of the Battle of Chickamauga. During the Civil War, some 56,000 Union troops and 67,000 Confederates waged one of the war's bloodiest campaigns there, with more than 34,000 casualties about equally distributed on both sides. Although the Confederate forces finally prevailed, historians later declared Chickamauga "a victory from which the Confederacy never recovered."
