Tips For Researchers
HighlightsThe Highlights page contains a list of preselected searches featuring highlights of the Museum's collection. These lists are updated frequently by curatorial staff.
Browse CollectionsThe Browse Collections page allows users to view all of the Museum's online records, sorted alphabetically by title. By clicking on the Date or Object Number headings at the top of the list, the records will re-sort according to those criteria.
Switch View
- The Switch View buttons appear at the top of any list of records. Click one of the three icons to change the view from Single Record to List View to Light-Box View.
- While in List View, the Title, Date and Object Number columns may be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column title. An up or down arrow appears next to the column title to indicate by which column and in which order the records are currently sorted.
Object Record
- In a record for a single object, many fields (Category, Type of Object, Date, Name, Credit Line, Media and Search Terms) are hyperlinked. Clicking on these links will yield search results of other records with the same information. For example, clicking on "Category: Photographs" in one record will yield search results for all the records online that are categorized as Photographs.
- The tabs in the center of the page can be selected to show additional information such as Curator's Notes or Other Media. If there are no notes or other media associated with a particular record,those tabs will not be clickable.Clicking the image or the magnifying glass symbol at the bottom left corner of the image allows you to zoom in and see the image in greater detail.When viewing videos, clicking on the expand button in the bottom right corner of the video player will to enlarge the video's size to fit your full computer screen.
Media AttachmentsMost object records will include at least one media attachment: an image, a .pdf or an audiovisual recording. Records with more than one media attachment will include small thumbnail images beneath the large main image. Clicking the thumbnails will enlarge them for closer viewing. Clicking the small magnifying glass at the bottom left of an image will "zoomify" the image – permitting the viewer to zoom in close and inspect tiny details. The magnifier will not work, however, on images that have been posted as thumbnails in order to protect copyrighted material. Records for published materials such as newspapers, magazines, sheet music and record albums will only include a thumbnail image for reference. The thumbnail image will not zoomify.
Social Media and PermalinksIn the top right corner of all pages on the Museum's collections database is a small social media symbol (three dots joined together). Clicking on the social media symbol will open a menu of options, including the ability to share the page you are currently on via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or email. At the bottom of that menu is the word "Permalink" – the permalink will give you a URL that you can copy and send to any user that will always lead them back to that page. Please use the permalink when trying to send or share URLs for specific objects with other users.
View Records
Quick SearchThe Quick Search dialog box appears on the left navigation bar and on the Search page. Entering a simple term such as a name or date and clicking "Search" will yield results drawn from all fields in the object records.You may enter more than one keyword at a time, but to conduct a complex search or to refine your results, please use the Advanced Search option.On the Search page, be sure to click the orange Search button that corresponds to your search. For example, if you are conducting a Quick Search (top of page), click the orange search button beneath Quick Search; if you are conducting an Advanced Search (bottom of page) click the orange Search button at the bottom of the page. Clicking the wrong button will return all online records, not the correct search results.
Advanced SearchThe Advanced Search section of the Search page allows you to search terms or values in specific fields. Multiple fields of the Advanced Search may be used at once, but will greatly reduce the number of search results. If you are not getting results, try reducing the number of fields searched.
- Title - A free-text dialog box allows you to run a keyword search in the Title field of all online records.
- Category - A drop-down menu allows you to search only records that fall into a particular category such as Photographs or Oral Histories. Only one category may be chosen at a time.
- Type of Object - A drop-down menu allows you to search only records that represent a specific type of object such as Newspaper or Letter.
- Date - There are two ways to search the Date field. You may enter a single date in the MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY format in the first dialog box or you may enter a date range using the drop-down menus in the Date Range field. If, for example you would like to search for all records relating to the month of November 1963, you would use the Date Range drop-down menus to select November 1963 to November 1963. This search will yield all records with dates that fall within that month.Entering an invalid Date Range will return an error message. For example, entering the Date Range December 1963 â€" November 1963 is invalid because the dates are out of chronological order.
- Name - A free-text dialog box allows you to run a simple name search that will produce a list of records associated with a specific person.
- Credit Line - A drop-down menu allows you to search for object records associated with a specific credit line. For example, selecting the Joe Hathaway Collection/The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza will yield all records associated with the Joe Hathaway Collection.
- Medium - A drop-down menu allows you to search for objects made of a particular material such as Paper or Film.
- Search Term - A drop-down menu allows you to select a term from our glossary and search for records tagged with a particular term. You may click "+ Add another term" to add a second Search Term box to your search. You may search for up to 3 different search terms in any single search.
- Description - A free-text dialog box allows you to do a keyword search on the Description field of all the records in our online database.
- Curator's Notes - A free-text dialog box allows you to do a keyword search on the Curator's Notes field of all the records in our online database.
Additional Search TipsUsing "quotation marks" around your keywords in the free-text dialog boxes will ensure that the search engine returns records with the exact spelling you include between the marks.Keyword searches in free-text dialog boxes are not case-sensitive.An asterisk * functions as a wild card when searching. If you enter the first part of a word or name, followed by *, you will receive all records that contain words with that prefix. For example, typing in the search term deal* will return all records that contain the words deal, deals, dealer or dealey. The wild card can only be used following or within a search term, not preceding it.Search Results are sorted in alphabetical order by object title, but can be sorted by either Title or Date. (See "Switch View" above.)

It's only appropriate that the biggest city in Texas host the state's biggest orchestral festival.
The Helen and Immanuel Olshan Texas Music Festival (TMF) has been entertaining concert-goers and educating student musicians for 20 years. Presented by the University of Houston's Moores School of Music, the festival has built a tradition of hosting noted musicians from around the globe and grooming tomorrow's classical music superstars.
This year's event runs June 7 - July 3. Concerts will be performed at the University of Houston, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, and Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
Among this year's highlights is the "Perspectives" classical music and jazz concert series, which features performances curated by faculty artists and guests. Another TMF cornerstone is the "Classical Minds Guitar Festival and Competition," which includes recitals by faculty, students and competition winners.
This year's line-up of guest musicians includes:
Conductor Mei-Ann Chen from the Memphis Symphony Orchestra
- Conductor Horst Foerster from Akadesmisches Orchester Leipzig
- Conductor Franz Krager from the Moores School of Music
- Stefan Sanderling from the Florida Orchestra, Chatauqua
- Brothers Leonel (piano) and Jesús (marimba) Morales
- Violist Rita Porfiris, professor at the Hartt School of Music
- Flutist Aralee Dorough, professor with the Moores School of Music
In 1990, Immanuel and Helen Olshan founded the festival as a four-week orchestral fellowship program dedicated to developing the talents of student musicians. Since then, TMF has attracted students from across the globe and entertained local audiences with performances ranging from chamber music to jazz.
Students are accepted to the festival based on live and taped auditions. The festival's faculty includes guest musicians, members of the acclaimed Houston Symphony Orchestra and professors from the Moores School of Music.

On Oct. 18-19 Lawrence Technological University hosted its fourth Innovation Encounter competition that focused on inventive problem-solving and the recognition of societal values, business principles, and customer awareness in making business decisions.
Innovation Encounter is a program of the Kern Entrepreneurial Education Network (KEEN) and is funded in part by the Kern Family Foundation. Each of the eight college teams competed by developing a solution to a business problem, creating materials to showcase the solution, creating a business case, and preparing an oral presentation.
The LTU team played host to teams from seven other KEEN members, Gonzaga University, Ohio Northern University, Saint Louis University, the University of Evansville, Villanova University, Kettering University, and Widener University.
The keynote speaker on the first day was Thom Nealsshon, director of strategic technology and regulatory development at Masco Corp. LTU Associate Professor Andrew Gerhart led a workshop on the theory and practice of creative problem solving.
In the evening, the competition business case with a problem to be solved was presented by Martin Rawls-Meehan, president and CEO of Bingham Farms-based Reverie, a leading global manufacturer of adjustable beds and customized mattresses and pillows. The student teams were asked to come up with ideas for reducing the cost and weight of a popular feature of the company's high-end bed. The student teams were given until 3 p.m. the following day to develop and submit their solutions.
Rawls-Meehan was joined on the judges' panel by other Reverie managers, Staci Goodwin, Dennis Angelo, Jacob Lalinsky, and David Chang. Teams were called at random to give a 10-minute oral presentation to the judges.
At the awards dinner that evening, the team from the University of Evansville received the grand prize of $1,500. The second-place prize of $1,000 went to Ohio Northern University, and the $500 third-place prize went to Villanova University

'Wild Party' will bring the roaring twenties to Kennedy Theatre in OctoberUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Publicity, Kennedy Theatre
Kennedy Theatre Box Office, (808) 956-7655
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present Andrew Lippa's musical, "The Wild Party," as the 50th Anniversary season's first Prime Time presentation in the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre. The production will serve as director Brittni Michele Shambaugh's MFA thesis presentation, and marks the show's local premiere. Performances will take place October 23, 24, 25 and 26 at 8 p.m., and October 27 at 2 p.m.; a free post-show chat will be held with the cast and director on October 25.
While musicals are not often performed at Kennedy Theatre, Shambaugh perceived that as a challenge to take on, rather than a limitation to accept; she picked a piece that requires solid, nuanced acting and subtle, complex harmonies. She feels her actors are up to the task: "I'm so lucky to have this cast," she says. "They're incredibly talented." Lippa's musical is based on the book-length narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March. First published in 1928, the poem was banned in many locations throughout the U.S. due to its content, which was considered extremely risqué when it was published in the 1920s. Lippa, who wrote the book and composed the music for the show, echoes the poem's racy themes, with characters who drink bathtub gin, smoke constantly and sleep around. Due to sexual and violent themes, the play is recommended for mature audiences over the age of 16.
Shambaugh was drawn to the uncompromising material. Although she was sure she wanted to direct a musical as her master's thesis, she also knew that she "didn't want a piece that would ever tempt me to use 'jazz hands.' I wanted something real, that would affect the audience emotionally." She felt that the story of "The Wild Party" would do just that. As her relationship falls apart, vaudeville dancer Queenie (Leiney Rigg, last seen in Diamond Head Theatre's "Legally Blonde") convinces her lover, Burrs (Garett Taketa, who played Judd in Kennedy's production of "Oklahoma!") to throw a party; her plan is to flirt with other men in order to make Burrs see how beautiful and desirable she is. But her friend and rival Kate (Kyle Scholl, last seen in Kennedy's "Thread Hell") brings handsome loner Black (Lavour Addison, who previously worked with Shambaugh in last season's "Sonnets for an Old Century") to the party; he falls for Queenie, making things more exciting and more dangerous.
Shambaugh wants the evening to be all about the party. The design, the staging and her directorial approach are all about making the audience feel as if they're really at a gathering of vaudeville entertainers in the 1920s. The theater is even encouraging audience members to come dressed in '20s regalia, to add to the party atmosphere. "I want the audience to be enticed by the actors and the party," says Shambaugh. "The more you feel you're part of the show, the more you'll be affected by the heartache these characters reveal."
Tickets for "The Wild Party" are available online at etickethawaii.com, by phone at (808) 944-2697, at participating outlets, and at the Kennedy Theatre box office, which is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, with extended hours on performance dates. Prices are $18 for general admission; $16 for seniors / military / UH faculty and staff; $13 for students and UHAA members; and $5 for UHM students with a validated Fall 2013 UHM photo ID. Ticket prices include all service fees. For further information, please visit hawaii.edu/kennedy, or call the theatre at (808) 956-7655. For disability access, please call the theater.

Chris Brown was sent bottles of bubbly at a club Monday night, but luckily the booze stayed out of the air. Soccer star Wayne Rooney bought Brown two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne at LA hot spot AV while their entourages partied at tables next to one another. Brown held court at a corner table with his posse, which included girlfriend Karrueche Tran. Rooney partied with international soccer gods Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba at a table by the DJ booth. Brown, whose latest album, "Fortune," was released Tuesday, left at about 2 a.m., spies said, and the soccer players left shortly after. Lindsay Lohan, however, partied later than all of the boys. We're told the "Liz & Dick" actress arrived at the club with two male friends after 2 a.m. and tried hard to avoid lurking paparazzi outside. She hung out on a patio and left right before 3 a.m. Lohan celebrated her July 2 birthday over the weekend with a party at West Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows, owned by David Arquette.

Kristian Van Der Vliet ported libusb to Syllable, which gives applications direct access to USB devices. Libusb will allow Syllable to support devices such as scanners, digital cameras and digital audio players. The SANE scanner package has already been ported. Kernel support for libusb has already been checked into CVS and Builder packages for libusb, SANE and libgphoto2 will follow shortly. Also, there are new ports of Bochs (screenshot) and DOSBox (screenshot). More screenshots here.

Although 10 approvals does not appear an unduly low number, only four of those products contained genuinely new active ingredients (Arcalyst, Cimzia, Nplate, and Recothrom; Table 1). Arcalyst and Nplate are fusion proteins, Cimzia is an antibody Fab', and Recothrom is a recombinant thrombin (blood coagulation factor IIa).
In terms of expression systems used, the 2008 approvals also appeared to buck the general trend toward mammalian-based systems. Six of the 10 approved products are expressed in E. coli, one in S. cerevisiae, and three in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines. However, the E. coli bias is less obvious in the context of genuinely novel active pharmaceutical ingredients approved, of which two are expressed in E. coli and two in CHO cells.
In most previous years too, some overlap in EU and US approvals was evident.1–4 Not so in 2008. Although approval numbers in the US were modest, they were even more disappointing in EU, with only two products coming on the market. Moreover, neither of the EU approvals (Extivia and Filgrastim Ratiopharm) were genuinely novel (see sidebar).
The only product with a likely potential of reaching blockbuster status is that of Cimzia.5 Although initially approved only for the treatment of Chron's disease, it was subsequently approved (May 2009) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, greatly increasing its revenue scope.
Overall, therefore, 2008 was a modest year in terms of biopharmaceutical approvals. Analysts, however, are hopeful that this will represent a low point, with approvals likely to steadily increase once again in the coming years.5
Individual monographs for products are presented below. Monograph for Extavia, Novologmix 50:50, and PEGintron ribetol are not provided, given their particularly close similarity to well-established, previously approved products.

The Unix server business is still a big part of the overall server business, but it is continuing to gradually decrease as customers continue to increase their adoption of industry-standard servers and/or cloud computing for their mission-critical applications.
Unix server shipments fell 27.4 percent to 27,415 units in the second quarter of 2013, Gartner reported. That equated to a 25.3 percent drop in Unix server revenue to $1.6 billion.
IBM is still top dog in the Unix server business, with shipments down "only" 8.6 percent and revenue down by 24.4 percent. Oracle, thanks to its legacy Sun business, is maintaining its No. 2 position despite a 45.7 percent drop in shipments and a 26.1-percent drop in revenue. No. 3 HP only ships about half as many Unix servers as Oracle does. However, its Unix server revenue, which fell 26.8 percent over last year, is only $36 million lower than Oracle's revenue, giving it a chance to catch up.

Rocker Adam Levine has finally responded to Jennifer Love Hewitt's romance request, confessing he's flattered that the actress went public with her crush on him.
The I Know What You Did Last Summer star went public with her feelings for the Maroon 5 singer last week during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, revealing she was interested in him as her leading man following his split from supermodel Anne Vyalitsnya.
But when Levine failed to respond to her remarks online, the actress feared she'd upset him.
In a radio interview with Texas DJ Bobby Bones on Friday, she said, "I feel like I should write him an apology letter on Twitter or something just to say I'm so sorry… I wasn't thinking that it was gonna turn into this whole thing and I feel bad… I was kind of hoping that he would say thanks for at least thinking that he's hot. He is hot!"
Now Levine has responded during a chat with news show Access Hollywood – he says, "It's very flattering and very sweet and lovely to hear."

Above: Chef Nicos, who wouldn't smile out of respect for the lobster about to meet its saffron brothed end.
Lobsters, my brother says, tell horror stories about The Kraken to baby lobsters, to make them behave. "The Kraken searches out, destroys, consumes the biggest, the gnarliest, the meanest among us", Mama and Papa lobsters bubble, with waving antennas and clacking claws. "Entire lobster armies, battlescars and all, get decimated. Ground to umami dust. Just think what The Kraken would do to you. The Kraken would have you for breakfast. Literally."
"In Lobster World," my brother tells me, "You are the Kraken".
So when Chef Nicos invited me to attend his Lobster Pot popup at The Arch Gallery in Cambridge Heath (9-11 May 2013) as a media guest, I probably said yes much more quickly than is cool. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth among Canadian lobsters - the lobsters of choice for his seafood menu.
Chef Nicos grew up in restaurants. His Greek Cypriot parents ran one until late last year, which has nudged Nicos to want to carry on the family legacy to start his own restauarnt, sometime, somewhere. In the meantime he cooks at Junction Tavern, and Angels and Gypsies in Camberwell. And hosts popups to try out different food formats and locations. His last one, also at The Arch Gallery, featured comfort food pie mash and gravy.
The Arch Gallery is a beautifully refitted railway arch in Cambridge Heath. What used to be a long stretch of car mechanics now hosts a varied mix of furniture and bike stores, real estate agents, and now, a flexible arts / events space.
I can't remember the last time I had a live piano man carress the keys over dinner. Fancy! With a gas-cannister-powered open flame heature right next to him. Edgy!
For starters, Rubenesque Colchester rock oysters. Mr Edible is nervous about me eating raw shellfish, as we're expecting Baby Edible #2 in August. I sulk when I'm told I'm allowed only one.
"Which one is least likely to get you into trouble?" he asks.
"The biggest one," I snap, and snatch before he can say much more.
I eat mine completely plain these days, and the fattest oyster on the platter was sweet and creamy, with none of the metallic tang that sometimes comes with their more anorexic looking relatives. Mr Edible tells me the shallot vinegar "didn't taste commercial" - a compliment.
And now to the main event. A lobster bucket for 2. We wonder if it will come with 2 lobsters, or 2-person sized lobster. (The Kraken declares there is no such thing as a 2-person sized lobster.) In any case, this bucket came with 1 lobster to share.
The booty at the bottom of the bucket: A generous portion of baby prawns, razor clams, clams, mussels, and samphire, swishing in a very pleasantly spiced saffron broth. With celery, carrot and onion for sweetness, and some pepper and lemongrass for kick, Chef Nicos tells me.
Afterwards I wander back out towards the entrance of the gallery, where the open kitchen -- not just to all punters walking in, but also in full view of the street as it's right next to the full height windows of the arch -- is positioned, and spy on the action at the pass. The pop up menu choices also included Devon crab claws, and giant tiger prawns. When I saw this fresh portion of prawns coming out for service, it was possibly the first time in my life I wondered if I should have asked for something else instead of the lobster.
Briefly, anyway.
In addition to cooking, Chef Nicos tells me that his other passion in life is drumming. There's something about this setup of pots and lids and the way Nicos whizzes his way around them that captures both for me.
So what next? Watch out for something in Camden, Nicos says. And his hometurf, Camberwell, where he wants to dig deep into his roots. "I want to do My Big Fat Greek PopUp," he says. Kali Orexi!
Disclosure: I'm the founder of Edible Experiences, and attended this event as a guest.

State Senate leaders announce bipartisan Medicaid expansion dealStaff Report
February 06. 2014 2:36PM
CONCORD – A bipartisan group of Senate leaders announced a compromise agreement that would bring expanded health insurance coverage to about 50,000 of Granite Staters below 138 percent of the federal poverty level using 100 percent federal funding for the next three years.
Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, disclosing the framework of the new bill Thursday to a Senate committee with Senate Democratic Leader Sylvia Larsen of Concord, said the plan will require three federal waivers, would sunset after three years without continued 100 percent federal contributions and would use private insurance to reach the additional low-income Granite Staters.
Morse called it a "prudent" approach to "take care of those people that need help and give them private health insurance."
Details will be released when the bill is formally introduced next week. Also on board with the plan are Republican Sens. Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro and Bob Odell of Lempster, and Democrats Lou D'Allesandro of Manchester and Peggy Gilmour of Hollis.
Gov. Maggie Hassan added her support in her State of the State address, drawing long applause from the audience of lawmakers in the House chambers.
"With today's positive step forward," she said, "it's clear that we can work through this together and help working people access critical health coverage."
She thanked leaders not only of the Senate but also of the House for their "steadfast commitment to reaching a compromise.
"Now," the governor said, "let's get this done."
Morse said taxpayers will be protected by including "sunset clauses that will end the program if waivers are not approved or if federal funding drops below 100 percent."
Morse said the timeline, which had been the sticking point in long debate over Medicaid expansion, now has "firm deadlines and a firm approval process, "and a requirement that if for any reason the waiver necessary to implement private insurance is not approved, then the program will end on June, 30, 2015."
"The bipartisan nature of this agreement shows what can happen when we work together to focus on the issues critical to the well-being of our state," Morse said.
Larsen, who appeared before the committee alongside Morse, said the bill "will be the culmination of a long bipartisan process among senators to find agreement on expanding health insurance" for low income Granite Staters.
"We have resolved the lingering issues left over" from a special session last November, which failed to pass Medicaid expansion."
She said "it will be something the state can be proud of.
"At the end of the day this is about expanding coverage for tens of thousands of mostly working, low-income citizens, supporting our providers, helping our state budget and helping our economy," Larsen said.
While some conservatives in the Senate are expected to oppose the bill, Morse said they should not have been caught off guard.
"I think we've been very clear that we've been meeting to talk about this and the reality is that the next step is to draft legislation and put it though a committee process," with a public hearing, Morse said.
"We did not do that in the fall and this time there will be an opportunity for the public to comment," said Morse.
He said he did not view the plan as an expansion of the Medicaid program, for which the state would have had to have contributed "50 cents on the dollar."
"Medicaid would have hurt the state," he said, "because someone else would have to match that 50 cents.
"If we had been debating that, I don't think we'd be at this point right now," Morse said. "What we did go to was a framework that brought in private health care, brought in health insurance policies that pay 150 cents on the dollar and Medicare rates that pay 85 cent on the dollar. Those are all positive things."
He also said the state should "move forward" with an 1115-B waiver process "and change the way we deliver health care in New Hampshire." The federal government considers such waivers for "program flexibility to test new or existing approaches to financing and delivering Medicaid."
Larsen said the plan attains the goal of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
"The goal was to bring in uninsured working adults who could not afford health insurance," said Larsen. "This will accomplish that. It will mean that the almost 50,000 people in our state who are uninsured, working, a cannot afford their insurance, it will shoe them a path to affording their insurance and make available what they need to that they are not going into bankruptcy or fearing bankruptcy when they face a medical crisis."
Morse said that since the federal government offered to share funding with states for Medicaid expansion, "New Hampshire has been concerned the federal government will pull back on the program. The level of detail on that will be in the legislation but that is there to protect our taxpayers."
"You will have another future Legislature voting on how this is performed in the future," he said, "but I think Washington will have a totally different program four years out from now to deal with this.

Fed up with traffic jams and squeezing onto public transport? Do you daydream of rolling countryside and twisting trails scything through forest glades? Then you need get on your bike pronto. We've picked out 10 of the newest and shiniest velocipedes from trade shows like Core Bike and The Bike Place to inspire you.
Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon
from £3600, pivotcycles.co.uk
Granted, £3600 is a lot of money – but Pivot's Mach 5.7 Carbon is worth it if you're serious about your mountain biking. It takes the brilliantly effective DW-Link suspension of its alloy namesake and pairs it with an all-new carbon-fibre frame. That makes it lighter than many cross-country bikes, while still offering 145mm of plush, trail centre-friendly suspension.
The base model comes with Shimano SLX and XT parts, but you can spec it however you like – just as long as your wallet can handle it.
Whyte 29er CS
£2600, whytebikes.com
The hottest trend in mountain bikes right now is 29in rims, which roll faster over rough terrain than the usual 26in. But there's more to the Whyte 29er CS than just big wheels: the frame is crafted from carbon-fibre to be ultra-light and torsionally stiff for efficient pedalling, yet also vertically compliant so it's comfy enough to ride all day.
Factor in a SRAM X0 transmission, Easton wheels and a weight of just 10.6kg (23.4lbs), and you've got a true off-road rocket.
Genesis Fortitude Adventure
£1500, genesisbikes.co.uk
As the name suggests, the new Genesis Fortitude Adventure is designed with long-distance off-road exploring in mind: it has mounting points for three bottles, mudguards, a rear rack, and front and rear panniers, while the low-maintenance, 11-speed Shimano Alfine transmission is hidden away in the rear hub.
There's no suspension, but the combination of 29in wheels and a frame made from springy Reynolds 725 steel means there's simply no need.
Cervelo P5
£3500 (frame only), cervelo.com
Cervelo's radical P5 is built for pure speed. Honed using supercomputers and wind tunnels, it's reputedly so aerodynamic it could save you 30 seconds over a 40km time-trial – a huge margin in racing.
The P5 is fully compatible with Shimano's Di2 electronic gear system, its brakes are a world-first hydraulic caliper design from Magura, and it even has integrated storage in the form of a sleek handlebar bottle cage and a hidden nutrition compartment near the bottom bracket. Just incredible.
Planet X RT-57
£1300, planet-x-bikes.co.uk
Planet X is renowned for producing rapid, great-value road bikes and the new RT-57 is no exception. The sleek, stiff frame is made from high-modulus carbon-fibre and weighs just 999g.
Paired with SRAM's second-from-top Force transmission and brakes – kit normally found on far more expensive bikes – it's ideal for long-distance 'sportive' events and hilly terrain. At the same time, adding a pair of aero bars would transform it into a fine first triathlon machine.
Carrera Virago
£1000, halfords.com
Say what you like about the British government, but its Cycle To Work scheme is a wonderful thing – and Carrera's Virago road bike sneaks in under the magic £1000 limit.
Your £1000 nets you a good-looking carbon-fibre frame, too, rather than an aluminium one, along with high-quality Shimano 105 components and Mavic CXP-22 rims. OK, so Carrera lacks the cycling-club kudos of some rivals, but badge snobbery aside the Virago is a great bike at a fantastic price.
Avanti Inc 3
£1300, avantibikes.com
New Zealand brand Avanti is new to the UK, but produces a broad range of well-designed, well-specced machines, including mountain bikes, time-trial machines and BMXs.
The aluminium-framed Inc 3 is its top-end city bike and pairs a virtually maintenance-free Shimano Alfine 11 hub gearbox with a clean, quiet belt drive instead of a regular chain. Add in powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a stealthy matte-black paint job and you've got a perfect urban assault weapon.
Genesis Day 01 Disc
£800, genesisbikes.co.uk
Tinkering with gears may be some folks' idea of fun, but most of us just want a bike that delivers maximum smiles for minimal fuss. That's where the Genesis Day 01 Disc comes in: it has only one gear, so there are no shifters to keep in tune, and the brakes are powerful Avid BB7s, which'll run for months with barely a tweak of an adjuster.
Technically, it's a cyclocross bike, so it's tough enough to take off-road, but with rack and mudguard mounts, it'd make a fantastic commuter.
Tern Verge Duo
£775, evanscycles.com
Tern is a new brand, but its bikes can trace their lineage to Dahon's excellent commuters. The compact, speedy Verge range builds on those credentials with an improved folding mechanism and sleeker lines, while the Duo model adds a trick two-speed automatic gearbox.
To keep you clean on the way to work it comes with mudguards and a flexible chain cover – and there's even a pump built into the seatpost and a multitool hidden in one of the handlebar grips.
Solex Solexity
£1800, solexworld.com
Electric bikes are starting to catch on in a major way, but the idea of a powered bicycle is far from new – Solex built more than eight million of them between 1946 and 1988.
Now, the French brand is back with a three-strong range including this, the classy-looking Solexity. It owes its graceful lines to Ferrari's favourite design house, Pininfarina, and it'll do up to 15mph – but to race around on one is missing the point. It's about simple, stylish, sweat-free transportation.

This is so funny, to read the comments here! All my Flickr friends are so into MM, and have done the "Mad Men Yourself" icons (me too). I think the show is so great that you can enjoy it even if you aren't into the mid-century aesthetic. But if you are....it's hard to pay attention to the dialogue sometimes because of all the eye candy! Love Betty's looks! But I really dream of looking like Joan....sigh.

This talk will present Gfx, the Dojo Toolkit 2d graphics api and how it can be leveraged for advanced visualization.
We will first introduce the library and how it works under the hood ; then we will explain the API and its capabilities in details through many examples and scenarii, to finally introduce several real-life examples of advanced visualizations built on top of gfx (components like charting, maps or diagram, or extensions like layout manager) on desktop and mobile environments.

Giving the Name of Each Pensioner, the Cause for Which Pensioned, the Post-Office Address, and the Date of Original Allowance, United States Pension Bureau Senate
Volume IV, Washington. Government Printing Office, 1883
On 8 Dec 1882, the US Senate passed a resolution to enumerate, by town, county, and state, all individuals receiving a pension. This list is taken from that document. It is used today as a major genealogical source for Civil War and the War of 1812 pensioners. Pensioners in this transcribed version of the original document are listed by county, post office and alphabetically by name.
This document, digitally scanned by Google, can be viewed through Google Books
Pension List
* Roseburg and Scottsburg are listed using the spelling used in the original file.
Where to Go From Here
|Most soldiers or their widows or minor children
applied for a pension. In some cases, a dependent father
or mother applied. The pension files are indexed by the
National Archives microfilm publication T288, General
Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934 (544
rolls) which is also available online at Ancestry.com
(for a fee).
The pension file will often contain more information about what the soldier did during the war than the Compiled Military Service Records, and it may contain much medical information if he lived for a number of years afterwards. For example, in his pension file, Seth Combs of Company C, 2d Ohio Cavalry, reported: "...my left eye was injured while tearing down a building...and in pulling off a board a splinter or piece struck my eye and injured it badly...it was hurt while in the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester, Va. about Christmas 1864--a comrade who stood by me name Jim Beach is dead." In another affidavit, Seth said he "also got the Rheumatism while on duty as a dispatch bearer on detached duty."
To obtain a widow's pension, the widow had to provide proof of marriage, such as a copy of the record kept by county officials, or by affidavit from the minister or some other person. Applications on behalf of the soldier's minor children had to supply both proof of the soldier's marriage and proof of the children's birth.
For more information on obtaining military pension records, visit the United States National Archives.

You just gotta love it when a week is so busy it felt like it was a lot longer then a week ago that things happened. Or you can't even remember what happened at the start of the week without looking back over your notes & photos. Yep, it was that kinda insane week for us here, & the weekend was a very welcome sight indeed!
We wrapped up another entire continent this week which was a lovely accomplishment. Yes, it seems absurd we can wrap up an entire continent in a week, but when you consider we all ready live here it's probably a little easier to understand!
The boys are now in their final countdown for term break, all though I haven't heard any plans on what they expect to do during that time. I suspect a whole lot of movie making & lego playing though.
Morgan finished up Lesson 30 in his math book! That was the last lesson in the book & he'll work on the Final Book Test next week. Don't ask me what he was contemplating there, I think he's double checking all his Roman Numerals which he does phenomenally well with. Jayden, whom I seem to have few pictures of this week, is up to Lesson 7 in his math book. I'm actually quite happy that we have term break coming up so I can look over his book & decide how many unit tests I want him to take to figure out where to place him in his book. I think he'll end up skipping a fair few lessons again next term because he simply all ready knows the information. Not sure about Morgan as we'll wait to make that choice when his Epsilon book shows up!
Jayden has nearly wrapped up Week 3 in Zoology 3. I doubt we'll finish the book this year, but that's okay. His choice for science next year is only a 2 day course with the option of being done 1x a week so he can also use the remainder of Zoology 3 during the year as well. We had a great time learning about bears & it was interesting to hear their nose was the most sensitive part, you know, in case you get in a fight with a bear.
Morgan wrapped up most of Lesson 6 in Human Anatomy too, he's doing really well with the little schedule I made for him. He's constantly giving us tidbits on what he learned & his notes are rather impressive as well. He's a little disappointed by the experiments in the book because they are either ones we've done, seen done, or are pretty simplistic. I think he'll be delighted with his science next year.
We had a grand laugh over Paddington's escapades this week. He managed to saw a table in half & as the boys were retelling the chapter to Mr S Nana walked in & was horrified to hear someone had cut a table in half. She was quite interested to know which of our tables had the unfortunate end when the boys explained it was only Paddington. Jayden has nearly wrapped up the book he was reading aloud to me, in fact he should have, but the tail end of our week was insane & he didn't read to me on those days.
We started Nanaberry this week for our latest Australian history. This book starts out with a small pox breakout in an Aborigine tribe, but quickly moved to a convicts point of view, & then a Surgeon's view. You hear the story from the various view points & of course they eventually all converge. We also read the book Red Sand, Blue Sky which was our geography book, also taking place in Australia. It gave a lovely view of life in the Nullabor contrasted with life in Melbourne, all though I wouldn't say it gives an overall view of life in Australia. Either way, the boys enjoyed the story.
Our radiator blew on Tuesday evening so Wednesday I dropped it at with the mechanic & walked back home. We're not too far from town & the walk back was about an hour. I'd left the kids with their planners & pointed out things they could do on their own including labling their Australian map. Only, upon returning home only one child had done his math & science. Nothing else had been accomplished because apparently Jayden had tried to call me to ask what page in math he was suppose to do, & I didn't pick up. Then the mechanic called me & I didn't pick up so he called the house. In a total panic the boys called Mr S at work who also tried to call me to no avail. Before you freak, Nana was with my kids. I get home, after being chased down our road, in the rain I might add, by some wonderfully territorial plovers my children greeted me with, "Your wet & we tried to call you & you didn't answer & daddy tried to call you & you didn't answer & now everyone is panicked! Where were you?" To which I replied, "Oh sniffing lilacs." Apparently my phone was on silent. It was a wonderfully quiet walk home, & I really did stop to sniff someone's lilacs, all though it was hard I resisted picking a few.
Once things calmed down we finished up our Australian pages, the boys had a spot to draw themselves as wanted BushRangers which delighted them to no end. That's Jayden's fellow who was starting to look a lot like the Big Bad Bushranger in the book of the same name, all though it was a koala. Morgan was apparently wanted, on what charges I have no idea, for a great sum of money.
After spending 5 hours in town on Wednesday waiting on the car I brought it home & it spewed coolant all over my driveway. I cleaned up the mess praying it was just from the first issue, but upon getting Mr S from work we discovered another mess of it after turning the car off again. So we dropped the car with the mechanic on Thursday & walked over to a local museum to meet up with our home ed group for a tour. The boys were a little disappointed in the display, admittedly so was I, as it didn't offer as much as it has in the past & I think it was described differently then it was. To top it off all the experiments they did, as the display lacked a bit of hands on this time, were ones we've done many times at home including the rocket launching! All though it did encourage the kids to come home & dig our launcher out & give it a go. Afterwards we walked back to the car shop & our car was all most done. It had a faulty cap on it that they fixed, under warranty, & had us back on the road shortly thereafter.
The car was done in time to haul the kids to swim lessons. The boys were so excited to see that their practice paid off & they could easily swim from one end of the pool to the other without needing to stop for air. Then we came home & crashed! We were suppose to go to two birthday parties this week as well, but unfortunately between sickness & other things happening we didn't make it to either. The boys were extremely disappointed, but gracious enough to take it in stride.
We also had to manoeuvre school around a couple of meetings & Dr's appointments this week as the boys Nana is staying with us while she recoups from a broken hip. Thankfully the boys worked well on their own while I dropped Nana at various appointments. We're looking forward to a much calmer week to finish out our term in!

Bicycle Accident Attorney in Texas
The freedom to ride around in a bicycle is an invigorating way to get some exercise. Unfortunately, other individuals don't seem to care about such things, which is when severe injury or death can occur, with a recent survey indicating that Texas has approximately five biking fatalities every year.
That sad number pales next to the numerous injuries that take place when those on bicycles become moving targets for irresponsible or inattentive drivers. One such an event takes place, the only recourse for the bicyclist or the family of one if they're killed, is the contact a bicycle accident attorney in Texas.
Given the fact that Texas isn't always a welcoming place to bicyclists, opportunities to ride may be limited or result in them risking their health on roads where drivers routinely ignore basic rules of safety. Such drivers can excessively speed, be distracted by speaking or texting on a mobile phone or be intoxicated, all of which can develop into tragedy.
Being hit by a speeding vehicle is bad enough when you happen to be inside another moving vehicle. For those on bicycles, it's even worse and can become a lifelong disability, especially if the bicyclist wasn't wearing a helmet.
The injuries that result from such a catastrophe can put someone in the hospital for months, with massive medical bills to show for that time. Paying those fees, while also being compensated for not being able to work, along with the pain and suffering endured, is the job of a bicycle accident attorney in Texas.
So when you or a family member is involved in a bicycle accident, it's important to immediately get ahold of a bicycle accident attorney in Texas, since the statute of limitations is just two years from the time of the accident.

Gallery: The Best Signs From The Ryan Gosling Protest
Right now, thousands of people are taking to the streets to Occupy cities and protest the ever-widening gap between the wealthiest 1% of Americans and the remaining 99%. (They may be protesting some other stuff, too.)
But amidst all this confusion, a brave few are putting their hearts on their sleeves and standing up for what truly matters in this world: the fact that Ryan Gosling was ROBBED of his rightful spot as People's Sexiest Man of the Year, a title given instead (and undeservedly) to Bradley Cooper. Here are some of the best photos from a protest that took place yesterday outside the offices of People magazine:

When life hands you lemons," says the saccharine maxim we've all heard a million times, "make lemonade!"
Well, yes, of course. But why stop there?
There's a lot more to these sunny, tart beauties than a summertime beverage.
Wherever lemons can be had, from the Mediterranean basin to Florida, Latin America to Southeast Asia, savvy cooks have long taken advantage of the juice and zest of this lovely fruit to brighten the savory pot.
Most of us around here take for granted what lemons do for fish and shellfish, but we all too often neglect what they can do for meat, poultry and vegetables.
Since citrus fruits are seasonal during our wintertime, now is the perfect time to think beyond the tall, cool glass, blanket of meringue and crispy slab of fried fish. Let lemons bring a little sunshine to every aspect of your winter table.
Buying: Look for lemons with clear skins and bright green stem tips. Fruit that is firm isn't quite ripe and will have thicker skins and less juice; if they yield slightly when pressed, they're very ripe and will have thinner skins but lots of juice. Soft, mushy spots or leathery skin mean they're overripe and beginning to rot. What you should choose will depend on what you plan to do with them.
For garnishing, zesting, preserving or storing for later use, choose firmer fruit. For juicing, choose softer fruit and buy only what you can use quickly.
Storing: Conventional wisdom is that tropical fruits such as lemons don't like the cold and should never be refrigerated. But most citrus fruit has been shipped under refrigeration and are stored in the market's produce cooler, so this is moot.
If you can't use lemons quickly, go ahead and refrigerate them. But if you use them quickly, store at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.
Lemons are at their best used at room temperature, so let them sit out of the refrigerator for at least half an hour before using them.
This lovely Sicilian recipe is from friend and good cook Joel Caplan. Though originally for rabbit, he found the method worked beautifully for lamb shanks. To expose the rich, flavorful marrow, Caplan splits the shank about 3/4 through with a cleaver, but if you aren't up to heavy butchering, it's still great with the bones left whole. He suggests serving it with tagliatelle simply sauced with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano, spooning a little of the pan juices over the pasta.
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large (6-inch) sprigs rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
5 large fresh sage leaves, chopped
½ cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
3 garlic cloves, crushed flat and peeled but left whole
2 bay leaves
4 medium-sized or 2 large lamb shanks (about 2 pounds)
Salt and whole black pepper in a mill
1 cup dry white wine
Juice of 3 lemons, strained
1. Put oil, rosemary, sage, parsley, garlic and bay leaf in large, deep skillet or braising pan. Turn heat to medium and simmer until garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
2. Add lamb and brown on all sides, turning frequently. Season with salt and pepper, add wine and let mostly evaporate. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer until lamb is nearly tender, about 45 minutes depending on size of shanks.
3. Remove lid and simmer for another 15 minutes or until tender. Remove garlic and bay leaf, add lemon juice, raise heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes, turning chops in sauce.
This lovely recipe comes from dear friend and fabulous cook Harriet Konstantinidis, whose baklava is a religious experience.
1 3- to 3 ½-pound chicken, cut up as for frying
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed or left whole
Chicken broth, as needed
1-2 whole bay leaves
Whole dried oregano, preferably Greek
2 ribs celery, washed, strung and sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
4 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
Juice of 1 small lemon
1. Pat chicken dry. Warm 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven or deep, lidded saute pan over medium-high heat, add chicken and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic and saute until golden, 3-5 minutes more.
2. Add a small amount of broth (about ½ cup), bay leaves and pinch of crushed oregano leaves to taste, then cover and lower heat to medium or medium-low. Simmer gently until chicken is almost tender, adding water or additional broth by spoonfuls if needed, about 25 minutes.
3. In separate pan, warm remaining butter and oil over medium heat. Add celery and carrots and saute until beginning to color. Add potatoes and toss until hot through. Add sauteed vegetables to chicken, cover once again and cook until chicken and vegetables are both tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Raise heat and cook uncovered for a few minutes to reduce moisture until sauce is thickened.
From friend Maria Zouves, singer and co-founder of the V.O.I.C.Experience Foundation, an organization that helps young singers fulfill their potential. Maria can not only sing, like her sister, Harriet Konstantinidis, she's also a good cook. This lemony caviar spread reflects the rich heritage of her Greek background.
9 slices white bread, crusts removed and air-dried
½ cup water
About 2 ounces Tarama (Greek brine-cured fish roe such as Krinos brand)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 ½ cups vegetable or light olive oil
½ cup freshly-squeezed lemon
1. Put dried bread in shallow bowl and pour water over. Allow to soak until water is absorbed completely.
2. Put soaked bread, Tarama, onion, oil and lemon juice into food processor and blend until creamy. Add more lemon juice to taste, if needed. Flavor should be even blending of caviar, onion and lemon without any one overpowering the others.
Classic and simple Greek cooking at its best, this recipe is also from Harriet Konstantinidis. Makes 4-6 servings.
8-10 new potatoes, preferably red, peeled (if you like) and quartered
½ cup olive oil
¾ cup chicken or beef broth or dissolved bouillon
Salt and whole black pepper in a mill
Juice from about 1 large lemon (to taste)
1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Put potatoes in a roasting pan, add olive oil and broth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Depending on preferred level of tartness, add lemon juice to taste. Toss well. Drizzle lightly with more oil.
2. The secret to a tender interior and crispy exterior is two-stage roasting, first at a high temperature that's lowered for steady, gentle roasting. Roast 20 minutes at 450 degrees F, basting and stirring occasionally, then lower to 350 degrees F and roast, again basting and stirring occasionally, until done. Try to maintain moisture for most of the cooking cycle, but when done, liquid should be almost completely evaporated.
This recipe comes from native Savannahian and great cook Roberta Scott Warth, who now lives in Virginia. Warth also uses this as a sauce for salmon, and often adds shrimp or crabmeat. She says when the spirit moves her, she has also been known to add artichokes, tomatoes and black olives.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or good olive oil
2-3 large shallots, minced
1 large garlic clove, pressed
¼-1/3 cup dry white wine
2 lemons, zest grated from ½ lemon, juiced
2 cups heavy cream
2-3 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and whole black pepper in a mill
1-2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 pound hot cooked fettuccine, linguine or other long noodle of your choice
1. Heat oil or butter in medium, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until bubbly and fragrant. Add garlic and shallots and saute until slightly softened but not browned. Add wine and reduce until almost evaporated. Add lemon juice and cook for a minute or so more.
2. Gradually whisk in cream. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until sauce has thickened, whisking occasionally. When sauce has reached desired consistency, add capers and lemon zest and cook until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Cook pasta in 4 quarts boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain and transfer to serving bowl. Pour sauce over, add parsley, toss well and serve.
Variation with shrimp: When shallots and garlic are softened, add 1 pound peeled, deveined shrimp. Saute, tossing often, until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside and finish sauce as directed. Return shrimp to sauce along with capers and zest.
We don't often think of pairing lemons with beef, but fellow food writer Angela Lopez knows it gives a terrific flavor boost to skirt steak. She serves it sliced thin and piled into warm flour tortillas with a dollop of her lemony guacamole.
2 pounds beef skirt steak, trimmed
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1¼ teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of fresh-ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs oregano
4 8-inch flour tortillas
Angela's Lemony Guacamole (recipe follows)
1. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and add garlic and oregano. Put steak in gallon-size zip-top bag and pour in marinade. Press air out of bag and seal. Rub marinade into meat and refrigerate 8 to 10 hours.
2. Preheat cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. (Or prepare grill.) Remove meat from marinade and pat slightly dry with paper towel. To pan-broil, sear each side (about 30 seconds per side), then reduce heat to medium. Cook about 4 minutes each side, depending on thickness of steak, until done to taste. Alternatively, grill about 4 minutes per side about 6 inches above coals.
3. Place on cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes before thinly slicing (about 1/8-inch thick) on diagonal across grain of meat. Warm flour tortillas in pan or on grill. Place meat in hot tortilla and top with guacamole.
Makes about 1 cup.
1 large ripe Haas avocado
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-½ tablespoons light sour cream
1 teaspoon good mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
Pinch of salt
Tiny pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or dash of hot sauce
1. Halve avocado lengthwise and remove pit. Score each half with knife and slide knife around edges to release from skin. Scoop out and place in small bowl.
2. In separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sour cream, mayonnaise and chives. Pour over avocado and with tines of fork, smash avocado and mix together. Season to taste with salt and red pepper flakes or hot sauce and mix well.

It is possible that the main title of the report Hemochromatosis, Classic Hereditary is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a general term for several rare genetic disorders that are characterized by the accumulation of iron in various organs of the body such as the liver, heart and pancreas. The abnormally stored iron can damage affected organs, potentially causing a variety of different symptoms. The most common form of hemochromatosis is known by several different names including hemochromatosis type I, HFE-related hemochromatosis, hereditary hemochromatosis and classic hereditary hemochromatosis. Iron accumulation in classic hereditary hemochromatosis occurs slowly over many years. Eventually, iron accumulation causes tissue damage and impaired functioning of affected organs. In many cases, symptoms may not become apparent until some point between 40-60 years of age. Onset is usually earlier for men compared to women. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, weakness, lethargy, and unintended weight loss. Without treatment, classic hereditary hemochromatosis can progress to cause serious, life-threatening complications including failure of affected organs.
There are several different disorders associated with excess iron accumulation in the body. Collectively, these different disorders are grouped under the name iron overload disorders. These disorders are caused by mutations to different genes and have different clinical presentations. Classic hereditary hemochromatosis is caused by mutations of the HFE gene. This report primarily deals with classic hereditary hemochromatosis caused by mutation of the HFE gene.

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- The mother of an Oakland girl who became brain dead after undergoing a complicated surgery says her daughter's health has been improving.
Jahi McMath, 13, underwent a surgery to remove her tonsils, adenoids and uvula at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland on Dec. 9, the Los Angeles Times reported. Three days later, she was declared brain dead.
Despite a consensus among medical experts that the girl's body would deteriorate, her family had her moved to an undisclosed extended care facility.
The Alameda County coroner later issued a death certificate for Jahi without performing an autopsy.
On Wednesday, Nailah Winkfield, Jahi's mother, took to Facebook to deny claims that her daughter had died.
"Despite what people say about my daughter being dead and how I must be ignorant not to get that, I can tell you that she is much better physically since she has left Children's Hospital and I see changes that give me hope," Winkfield said in a post on Facebook.
The mother went on to thank people "who view my daughter as the sweet, innocent, 13-year-old girl that she is and not a dead body or a corpse, I deeply appreciate that."
"God can overcome all things and I believe that his will has yet to be fully revealed," Winkfield wrote. "I love Jahi and where there is love, there is hope."
Arthur Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at New York University Langone Medical Center, said Jahi's case may compel other families to "ultimately say, 'I'd like to take this body home and wait for a miracle.' That would be a public policy of disrespect for dead bodies."
"The ability to get clear about brain death has been a real obstacle," he said. "This hasn't helped at all."

All parents share the goal of keeping their children as healthy and happy as possible. Promoting health and effectively addressing illness are the two ways your health care provider attempts to support families in this endeavor. The old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," remains as true today as it always has been.
Part of childhood often includes acute illnesses (short but sometimes severe), especially in the preschool years. Luckily the vast majority of childhood illnesses are self-limited, and with some simple and safe interventions, the children rebound with health and vigor. Because a child must build up their arsenal of immunity to fight off colds and viruses, they typically will have up to a dozen of such infections a year during the first few years of life.(More)

A local man has died as a result of an ATV accident this past weekend.
— A local man has died as a result of an ATV accident this past weekend.
Christopher Rowan, 28, Honesdale, died Wednesday at Geisinger Medical of Wyoming Valley.
Very few details about the accident have been released by Pennsylvania State Police.
A report was issued by PSP following the accident. It said that at 6:10 p.m., on Sunday, Sept. 30, police were investigating "a head on crash involving two ATVs."
It said the crash happened at Niles Pond Road at the entrance to Camp Cayuga in Dyberry Township.
No other details have been released by police.
Several attempts to get more information from the PSP Honesdale Barracks were unsuccessful.
A complete obituary appears on page 6 of today's newspaper.
Borough police reports
Honesdale Borough police have reported several recent incidents.
In one, two people were arrested after being accused of stealing items from a local business.
James McCabe, 44, and Judy DeRoss, 52, were both arrested for theft after an incident at the Cat's Pajamas on 8th Street.
According to the report, on Sept. 22, officers responded to the business to a report of a theft. The investigation revealed that McCabe and DeRoss entered the store to shop and when they left, took a game system and walked out of the store.
The report says the two hid the items near The Wayne Independent building to be picked up at a later time after they were done shopping.
The items were recovered by borough police.
Charges of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property were filed on both individuals at the district magistrate's office.
Weapon found
In another incident, police reported that on Friday, Sept. 28, borough police investigated an incident involving a male, juvenile student in possession of a knife while attending a Honesdale High School varsity football game.
Police said that school officials present at the game found the male student to be in possession of a knife, which is a violation of state law. School officials called the police department.
On Oct. 10, police filed a juvenile petition at the Wayne County courthouse charging the juvenile with possession of a weapon on school property, which is graded as a misdemeanor in the first degree.
Gas theft
On Sept. 28, borough police were called to a report of a gas theft in the parking lot at Honesdale High School.
The victim reported that sometime between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. someone siphoned gasoline from his vehicle and let the air out of one of the tires while it was parked in the parking lot.
Anyone who has information is asked to call borough police at 253-1900.
