Green and blooming
I don't know the name of these plants. For this post, I'm calling them "ditch weeds" because they are growing along the ditch. (They are ditch weeds, not "ditch weed" which is a name that's often given to wild hemp.)
Their flowers are underwhelming when inspected closely. But don't they look fresh and pretty, growing in a clump on the banks of the ditch? Even the weeds have their moments of splendor.

A day after returning from Tallahassee, where Florida lawmakers hammered out their budget for the year, University of South Florida President Judy Genshaft was declaring success.
Though the budget immediately splits USF's Polytechnic branch campus away into the state's 12th university, it gives USF extra money to absorb the costs of that transition. It also spreads $300 million in state budget cuts to the university system more evenly -- a main concern for USF since the Senate's original spending plan gave the school a disproportionate cut. And it restores the $6 million budget for USF's fledgling pharmacy school, which was previously funded through USF Poly's budget and would have gone away in a split.
"I am very pleased with the outcome," Genshaft said at a news conference Tuesday. "The University of South Florida is stronger than ever."
When all those students are graduated, the $10 million recurring dollars will go back into the main USF Tampa's budget. The plan, brokered by Lakeland Republican Rep. Seth McKeel, sets a five-year timeline, but Genshaft said Tuesday that she will continue supporting existing USF students in Lakeland even if it takes longer than that.
"It is very important to me that we care for out students, number one," Genshaft said.
Meanwhile, the new Florida Polytechnic University, will break off right away and start from scratch to earn its own accreditation. USF had already submitted an application for USF Poly to have separate campus accreditation, like its campuses in St. Petersburg and Sarasota, but now that application goes out the window.
It may not be the quickest way to get there, according to information Genshaft brought back last week from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Allowing USF Poly to gain accreditation under USF's umbrella would have taken about a year and a half, Genshaft said. That was part of a plan laid out by the Florida Board of Governors late last year, after Senate budget chairman JD Alexander began his quest for the new institution.
Starting from scratch would take three years at the earliest, and that would also require that the new institution graduate one class of students first -- without accreditation, which would mean no federal financial aid.
It's out of USF's hands now. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, wanted a new university right away, and he's closer than ever to getting it.
All that's left is approval by Gov. Rick Scott, who said previously he wasn't sure splitting of USF Poly right away was the best idea, instead favoring the Board of Governors's path.
But now USF's new funding -- the $10 million for absorbing USF Poly faculty, staff and students, and the $6 million for pharmacy -- is tied into that Poly-split bill. With Genshaft praising the addition of those funds, think Scott will want to veto it?

A sports team languishing in the fourth division of the national leagues may not sound like the best investment, but Gervais Williams, the fund manager at Miton Group told CNBC that one soccer club in Scotland is set for great things after a turbulent few years.
Glasgow Rangers FC fell from grace last summer as the club went into liquidation after being placed into administration and being docked ten points. The team lost to its arch rivals at the end of the season and was then placed into the bottom tier of the league following rejection from members of the Scottish Premier League.
Rangers may not be challenging for the same league title it has won 54 times previously. But a lack of debt, loyal fans, a new wave of young players and some astute clothing deals nevertheless mean this club is one of the best investments in soccer, according to Williams.

"Because of the precipitous fall a lot of the debts have gone away. The business has got 20 million [pounds] ($33 million) cash on the balance sheet. It owns its own ground which is worth about 70 million [pounds], the training ground worth another 10 million [pounds]. They've really got great revenue coming in from the season ticket sales which will happen over summer. So, the actual business is capitalized at only 45 million [pounds]," he told CNBC Thursday.
"What's been remarkable is how loyal that fan base has remained and that's going to really drive its valuation going forward."
A successful IPO (initial purchase offering) on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange raised 22.2 million pounds in December 2012, the club said in its latest results. This will help to fund its growth strategy and brings the total raised share capital since incorporation to 35.2 million pounds, it said.

"There's lots to go for in this business, I agree generally not a good place to make money in football clubs but this business, given it doesn't have any debt, given it's such a low cost outfit at the moment, it's going to make plenty of profit," Williams said.
Results posted at the start of March showed a loss of 7 million pounds for the last seven months of 2012, with revenue of 9.5 million pounds and operating expenses at 16.6 million pounds. A new retail arrangement with retailer Sports Direct has been announced, alongside kit deals with manufacturer Puma and sponsor Blackthorn Cider.

Henry Dixon, co-founder and fund manager at Matterley Asset Management feared that a player wage bill that is relatively low now may not be so if the club surges back into the top flight with the team currently sitting proudly top of the third division.
"Is that enough to sustain a club in the Scottish premier league, is it enough to win? That's going to be the tug of war between, if you like, economics and emotion and the heart," he told CNBC Thursday.

An eternal daydreamer and sometimes writer, Carmen Bellaire has always been lost in the worlds of his imagination. When he discovered role-playing games for the first time, it was love at first read. In short order he collected together his brothers and friends, and began to weave them stories of action, adventure and intrigue. Carmen started with the first edition rules of Heroes Unlimited™, as comics were a big draw for him. However, he soon added the original Robotech® RPG, first edition Palladium Fantasy RPG® and The Mechanoids® to his library of Palladium role-playing games.
Carmen ran adventure after lengthy adventure for his buddies, even when they all entered the Canadian Army Reserves together. His collection of Palladium role-playing game products continued to grow and went with him onto GMT (general military training), where he continued to run adventures on base.
In time, Carmen grew up and got married to his high-school sweetheart Christina – who he met in GMT! He drifted through a succession of construction and labor jobs before becoming a professional truck driver. Christina and Carmen had a beautiful daughter, Robyn; bought a house and settled down. But through all of it, he had his role-playing games and imaginary worlds, sometimes writing them down.
For years, some of his players had encouraged Carmen to submit some of his ideas to Palladium. When he finally worked up the nerve he was pleasantly surprised that publisher Kevin Siembieda loved them. When he had the chance to submit some of his ideas for possible publication, Carmen jumped at the opportunity. The next thing Carmen knew, he had written the popular Powers Unlimited™ 1, 2 and 3 sourcebooks for Heroes Unlimited™, the Splicers® RPG, Rifts® Merc Ops, Rifts® Mercenary Sourcebook, and Rifts® Dimension Book™ 8: Naruni™ Wave Two, as well as contributed to a handful of other titles, including Rifts® Ultimate Edition.
Carmen sometimes laments that he has far too many hobbies for his own good, including writing short stories, novels and RPG material; role-playing, miniature wargaming, motorcycling, home renovation, and medieval reenacting (the SCA). Despite his wide range of interests and a family, Carmen continues to find time to work on new books for the various Palladium Books® game lines.
Braden Campbell is a classically trained actor and playwright, whose theatrical work has seen him perform not only across Canada, but in England and New York City. Selected theatrical credits include Professor Von Helsing in The Passion of Dracula, King Canutus inEdmund Ironside, Bottome in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Babby Bobby in The Cripple of Innishman, Marc Antony in Julius Caesar, and the title role in Coriolanus. His play, Prime Time, a three-act comedy about the invention of standard time, premiered at the Lindsay Festival of the Arts in 2003. For the past several years, he has also worked as a freelance writer, particularly in the field of role-playing games.
Braden was first introduced to Palladium Books back in 1990. Shortly thereafter, he began running a Rifts® campaign that, in total, lasted nearly a decade. In 2004, he returned once again to his gaming books, with particular attention paid to the Wormwood™ and Phase World® settings. For Palladium, he has written Fleets of the Three Galaxies™, Thundercloud Galaxy™, and two short stories for the Tales of the Chi-Town 'Burbs™ anthology. He is also a contributor to Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms (revised), Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook, and The Rifter® #50. His multi-part Wormwood Addenda™ appeared in several issues of The Rifter®, including #42, #44, and #46. He was also the winner of Palladium's "What would I do with two million CCG cards?" competition in 2002.
Braden has written works for Games Workshop's Black Library and has enjoyedWarhammer 40K for nearly a decade, remaining fiercely dedicated to his Dark Eldar. He lives in Milton, Ontario, Canada with his wife and daughter.
Matthew Clements is one of the newest members of the team, a former intern, current freelancer and in-house screenwriter for Palladium Books. He has contributed to the upcoming Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook, finished one top secret Rifts® World Book and is currently hard at work on two others.
Matthew's personal projects, mostly screenplays, include science fiction, historical fiction and zombie movies, as well as a novel and video game in development. Matthew graduated from Central Michigan University in 2009 with a degree in Creative Writing and a minor in History, specializing in the ancient Near East. Before that he was a member and President of the distinguished CAPA theater program while attending Churchill High School in Livonia, MI.
"My influences are Piers Anthony and Michael Crichton; Paul Verhoeven and James Cameron. I believe fiction should be detailed and believable, while still serving as fantasy escapism that takes the audience on a ride through a new and unique setting. It's not easy to do both."
In the beginning was Steven, and Steven was with the Dawes, and Steven was a Dawes. The first word he ever spoke was "Quote," and he expects the last word he'll speak before he dies will be "Unquote." Excerpts from his life quotations include the following:
Like a lot of gamers, Steven cut his teeth on the Dungeons and Dragons RPG. As a fan of illustrations and comic books, he discovered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® RPG by Palladium Books, and fell for it right away. After playing a few sessions, he decided to purchase his own copy, making it the first role-playing game he would own. While at the hobby store he spotted a copy of the Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG, 1st Edition. As a fan of horror, he recognized Richard Corben's artwork on the cover and was intrigued. While perusing it, the idea of a "Supernatural Horror" themed RPG sparked a wildfire in his imagination. He purchased both books that day and has been a fan since.
Steven has played and Game Mastered many other Palladium role-playing games, including Ninjas & Superspies™, Heroes Unlimited™, Nightbane®, Mechanoids®, Dead Reign™ and Rifts®. But regardless of which setting he runs, all of his games have at least a hint of supernatural horror in them somewhere. Since its release in 2005, he has run only Beyond the Supernatural™ RPG, 2nd Edition.
Steven's freelance work includes blogging and writing reviews for various newsletters and websites as well as several Rifter® articles (one of which was canonized in a Dead Reign™ sourcebook). His future projects for Palladium include both a "victims" and "ghost hunting/ghost story" sourcebook and others for Beyond the Supernatural™, as well as material for Dead Reign™ and Nightbane®.
When not writing, he can be found in school earning a degree in web design or at home taking care of his wife, his daughter and two zany beagles. Hobbies include reading, board games, video games, soundtrack collecting, karaoke, writing reviews, blogging, ghost hunting and being a horror and paranormal enthusiast.
While this fellow may bear a passing resemblance to Palladium Books' beloved Rifter® Editor Wayne Smith (The Wayne Clone, 2009 Open House Contest Winner), he is in fact, one of the freelance writers for Palladium Books.
By day, Greg works as a Mechanical Engineer and his career has exposed him to all kinds of projects. Some of the highlights include the development of protection and survivability equipment and features for military vehicles and stealth systems for aircraft and naval applications.
By night, he is a freelance writer for Palladium Books, an avid gamer (both computer and role-playing games) and father of three boys (all of whom are eager to get into Daddy's gaming) and, apparently, the greatest husband in the world.
At the end of elementary school, Greg was drawn into Choose Your Own Adventure books and role-playing games. The concept of creating your own story drew him and his friends to take a crack at designing their own games (a game they made up as well as one for a school project). He eventually stumbled upon the local hobby store, Fandom II in Ottawa (the capital city of Canada) where he picked up his first Palladium Books products; a copy of Heroes Unlimited™, Revised Edition, Ninjas & Superspies™ and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® & Other Strangeness, Revised Edition. From there, his collection has grown exponentially.
Greg's favorite game, however, was introduced to him by his close friend and started a long line of adventures and gaming in the world of Rifts®. While many assume the biggest draw to the expansive setting of Rifts® is being able to play anything and everything (and, yes, Greg agrees that this is one of his favorite parts), it was the fantastical explanations of myths and legends as well as bringing them to the forefront of the current game time-line, offering a connection to the past and exploring the ramifications of the revealed mysteries, that set his imagination soaring.
His work has been published in several issues of The Rifter® (#10, 27, 37, 50 and 51), and he pitched in on the editing of Rifts® Dimension Book 14: Thundercloud Galaxy™. Greg continues to explore the realms of science, magic, myths and legends with his upcoming Rifts® titles: Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Underseas 2™, and Rifts® China 3 (all expected to be releases in 2011 and 2012). He is also toying with venturing into the realm of Palladium's Nightbane®.
A long, time Palladium gamer with aspirations to write, Carl Gleba has become one of Palladium Books most prolific freelance writers. He has six published books, one in the pipeline, and contributions in nearly a dozen other Palladium titles.
Carl's body of work started with Rifts® Dimension Book Six: Three Galaxies™, his first venture at serious writing. What started out to be a submission to The Rifter® turned into an unsolicited manuscript submission given directly to Kevin and (former wife) Maryann Siembieda when Carl first met the Siembiedas at a convention in western New York. Carl's next book was Rifts® Dimension Book 7: Megaverse Builder™, an ambitious adventure sourcebook with rules for creating your own corner of the Megaverse®. His most ambitious project, however, is the five book Minion War™ crossover series (Hades, Dyval™, Dimensional Outbreak™, Armageddon Unlimited™ and Megaverse® in Flames).
The Minion War is an elaborate metaplot involving a war between the minions of two rival planes of Hell that spills across the Megaverse. It has plots and connections to the worlds of Palladium Fantasy®, Heroes Unlimited™, Phase World®, the Three Galaxies™ and Rifts®. Best of all, each book in the series can be used as a stand-alone sourcebook or as part of the sprawling Minion War. The final book in the series, Megaverse® in Flames, should be released Summer 2011.
Carl is currently developing a PDF Game Master Package and a Rifts® Primer to help people run games. His other projects are top secret, for the moment.
Carl's introduction to role-playing was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in the early 1980s. Then he discovered Palladium's Robotech® RPG and was hooked. He's Game Mastered and played numerous Palladium game settings with Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® being his two all-time favorites. Carl is a role-player who continues to game on a regular basis with the same group of friends for the last 20 years. Most of the time he is the Game Master, and it is this experience and keen sense of storytelling that has made him a skilled writer of sourcebooks. When Carl is a player, he prefers to play magic users above all other classes, although he does tend to mix it up for variety.
A big science fiction fan, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Star Trek (in all its incarnations) is its among his favorite TV shows and movies, followed by shows like Sliders, Star Wars (the various movies), Doctor Who, Quantum Leap and Fringe. Carl's other hobbies include taking care of the family dog and being a "do-it-yourselfer" when it comes to home improvements. His future ambitions include writing more Rifts® Dimension Books, assisting in the writing of Mechanoids® Space and helping Palladium Books wherever and whenever necessary. Carl and his wife Lisa live in central New York. He is employed by a major New York bank and is a manager of a technical support and development group.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Jeffry Scott Hansen's love of books and storytelling was spawned at an early age. In High School his passion for creative writing inspired several short stories that would become his first unpublished work, Unauthorized Realms.
After serving four years in the United States Marine Corps, and while a Detroit Police Officer, Jeffry created Spectre Publishing which produced two books, Warpath and the true crime book, Digging for the Truth: The Final Resting Place of Jimmy Hoffa.
Jeffry's major influences in writing are H.G. Wells, Stephen King, Rod Serling and Edgar Allan Poe. His passion has always leaned toward the Science Fiction/Fantasy genres, which would lead him to publisher Kevin Siembieda of Palladium Books. As a freelancer for Palladium since 2005, Jeffry has been involved in several projects, which include the short story Peddler's End in the Tales from The Chi-Town Burbs anthology, and a contribution to Palladium's The Rifter® about the Nain Rouge.
Irvin Jackson is a Detroit, Michigan native currently living in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Wayne State University and is a Rosa Parks Scholar.
Before writing for Palladium, Irvin worked as an investigative journalist in Michigan and Washington, D.C. He has been a reporter for The Detroit News, where he helped the paper launch its Livingston County bureau, as well as reporting for the Ann Arbor News and the Port Huron Times Herald. He also reported on environmental policy and politics for Inside Washington Publishers, where he covered legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as U.S. Supreme Court rulings. He is currently a legal news writer for a major Baltimore law firm.
Irvin Jackson co-wrote the Nightbane® Survival Guide™ with Mark Oberle, and also co-wrote the Robotech®: New Generation™ Sourcebook with Kevin Siembieda. In addition, he has written a number of Rifter® articles. He is also an artist with pieces published in The Rifter® and Rifts® Dimension Book 13: Fleets of the Three Galaxies™. He has also done collectible card game art and is slated to have art published in an upcoming erotic fantasy art book highlighting new artists.
He hopes to continue writing both Robotech® and Nightbane® books for Palladium and eventually would like to branch into novel writing and, one day, create a role-playing game of his own.
Irvin is a second-generation gamer and still remembers his mother sitting him on her lap and helping him roll up his first Dungeons and Dragons character. If he's gaming he's most likely the G.M., which has been the case almost non-stop for 22 years. His favorite pen and paper role-playing games are Rifts®, Nightbane®, Robotech®, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons® 2nd Edition, Vampire: The Masquerade®, D6 Star Wars® and Mutant Chronicles®. He is also a big fan of RPG videogames such as Mass Effect, Fallout and Elder Scrolls.
Mark started out as a fan of Palladium Books back in 1996, playing Rifts® at a friend's birthday party and later at summer camp. In the year 2000, he started a Rifts® campaign that lasted eight years and a Heroes Unlimited™ campaign for three years before going on hiatus. In that time, the most ambitious writing goal he had was to someday be published in The Rifter®. He never really considered himself a "writer," so the road to his first book had a few curves.
The Crisis of Treachery was the catalyst that drew Mark back to a deepened involvement with Palladium Books. For him, like many others, the fight to help Palladium culminated in the 2006 Open House, where he and his future co-writer, Irvin Jackson, would each inquire about writing a book for the Nightbane® RPG line independent of the other.
Five years later, Mark has written material for Nightbane®, Heroes Unlimited™ and Rifts®, as well as Rifter® contributions in issues 39, 43, 44, 48 and 50, as well as the acclaimed short story "Casualties of War" in the Rifts® Tales of the Chi-Town Burbs™ anthology. His highest profile work to date, however, is the co-written Nightbane® Survival Guide™, the direct result of his collaboration with Irvin Jackson.
These days, Mark continues to work on projects for Nightbane® and has plans for a few more collaborations with fellow freelancers. He is also writing a personal (non-Palladium) novel, with two more waiting in the wings to be written. Meanwhile, Mark is dedicated to obtaining his Master's Degree in clinical psychology from Missouri State University, with the ultimate goal of a Doctorate sometime in the future. Of course, he plans to continue his game-writing and looks forward to a bright future for Palladium Books.
Writer, artist, father, engineer, bon vivant, and aficionado of the other-than-normal, John C. Philpott is a man living in perennial fear of a quiet, normal life. Never one to choose the proper course in life, he is a world traveler who enjoys exotic locales, long, barefoot walks on the beach, and saving the Megaverse from supernatural horrors. His travels have seen him launched from an aircraft carrier, drunk with the Brits in Switzerland, loafing on a remote beach in the Tortugas, and kicked back watching the powder-blue Alaskan tide roll slowly in.
Born in Texas, but living in Virginia, John has served in the Air Force as a fighter technician, suffered through an Electrical Engineering degree, and worked as a government cubicle drone in Washington, D.C. Most importantly, John has recently celebrated the second birthday of his wonderful, precocious son; the latest milestone and his greatest adventure to date. John's life has seen him clash with the unholy forces of self-righteous petty authority and rampant, cancerous bureaucracy and idiocracy, seeing him in a constant quest for contentment and peace of mind amid a world of increasing angst and schadenfreude. He currently resides deep in the wilderness of northeastern Virginia near an old colonial-era town that may in fact be in the nexus of a temporal maelstrom given the frequent appearances of cell phone-using Confederate soldiers on her streets. He shares his sylvan retreat with his lovely wife, his wonderful son, and proud cat, and currently works for the Marine Corps.
His writing has brought to life Voodoo Zombies, Mayan Femmes Fatale, Kung Fu mercenaries, anthropomorphic demon sea lions, and flying boats of unusual size. He has crafted award-winning works on alternate history and journalistic articles for a number of online publications. His works for Palladium Books include the Rifts® Deep South trilogy with Josh Sinsapaugh (Delta Blues™, Deep Woods™, and Rifts® Voodoo and the Spirit World), contributions to D-Bees of North America™, a short story for the Rifts® Tales of the Chi-Town 'Burbs™ anthology, and several fan-favorite articles for The Rifter®.
Born and raised in New York's Catskill Mountains, Josh Sinsapaugh is the author of Rifts® Shemarrian Nation™ and three yet to be published manuscripts for Rifts® (with co-author Jack Philpott) based in the American Deep South. A frequent contributor to The Rifter® (where he got his start), his work has also appeared in Rifts® D-Bees of North America™ and the short story anthology, Rifts® Tales of the Chi-Town 'Burbs. Outside of writing for Palladium, Josh's creative works have included poetry, yet more short story writing, and the visual arts of drawing and painting,
Attracted to storytelling at an early age, Josh has been a fan of the craft in all its forms throughout his life. Not only does he enjoy a fine yarn, he also likes tracing how myths, songs, and legends evolve and grow over time as they are passed down through the generations and across cultural boundaries. It is through this love of legends, folklore, and simply telling a good story that he found role-playing games and Palladium Books. Years later, Josh would find game design and world building to be a natural fit as well, culminating in his first Rifter® article in the 30th issue. Since then, the New York native has worked on a myriad of projects for Palladium and continues to dream up new concepts for the company's various game lines.
Josh lives in Saugerties, New York, where he continues his various writing projects for Palladium and an increasing number of clients. An avid music collector and fan, he spends what little spare time he has curating an always growing collection of CDs, MP3s, and a large number of vinyl records as well as GMing games for his group of over ten years. Josh also maintains a twitter feed (@TopoftheEnd) where he tweets about writing, art, and music.
Taylor White keeps himself busy. In 2010, his rock band, The Revenge of Ricky Williams, released an EP titled "Past the Legal Limit," played a charity event at local hotspot, The Rudyard Kipling, and played at the popular Annual Kentuckiana Pride Festival. For 2011, he is now poised to bow with his new and exciting musical project. Aside from writing for Palladium Books, he also writes, produces, and directs short films, does graphic design work, parties all the time, and makes trouble for the squares.
Taylor's credits for Palladium include the following works: Rifts® World Book 29: Madhaven™, Rifts® World Book 30: D-Bees of North America™, Rifts® World Book 31: Triax™ 2, Tales of the Chi-Town Burbs™, a forthcoming Chaos Earth™ book, and The Rifter® #9 1/2, 28, 31, 36, 39 and 50.
Taylor lives in Louisville, KY, but dreams of touring on the open road.
According to Kevin Siembieda, Erick Wujcik is a true game design genius. Erick was the man behind Palladium RPGs and sourcebooks like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® RPG, numerous TMNT sourcebooks, After the Bomb® RPG, Ninjas & Superspies, Mystic China, Rifts® China 1 & 2, Revised RECON® and his own published game, Amber Diceless, among others. He and Kevin Siembieda have been close friends since 1979 when they met through a role-playing group and soon after helped found the Detroit Gaming Center. Sadly, Erick passed away on June 7, 2008, from complications related to pancratic and liver cancer. The website dedicate to Erick Wujcik can be found at [here].

Ever since I launched my Ferguson One-Name website some 3 years ago, I have not been very happy with the Family Group style web pages compiled from Legacy, nor did I really like the output from TNG Software. So, I have regularly browsed the web to look for an alternative.
At last, I think I have found it in HuMo-gen which is made by Hubb Mons, who says: "I originally wrote this software for myself, because I was dissatisfied with the features of other Gedcom-to-HTML converters, but I readily offer HuMo-gen for use by the wider public". Exactly my thoughts!!
And furthermore it is free, open source software. What more could one ask for?!
You can select what to include on the Main Index (Opening Page), as shown below:
Whilst it is written in PHP, it is claimed that no knowledge of PHP or HTML is required in order to use the program. I agree, in fact anybody used to Wordpress will find it very easy.
This shows the options available from within the program, but with only a little knowledge of PHP and HTML one can easily customise this page to include other items, for example a picture of oneself, or maybe a brief description of the site. On this page there is also a Person Search Box.
Clicking the filing card icon next to the name produces as a range of other options, such as different report formats, and a range of tree charts. From these charts clicking a name will go to the report for that person.
As can be seen, the sources on this screen are links and these lead to others who use this source.
I think that this software is relatively new, from the HuMo-gen website I would think around 2009, so are there any snags? Well, yes, but none are terribly important and most can easily be overcome, some are specific to its use with Legacy. Like similar programs which rely on importing GEDCOMs it suffers from the limitations of the long outdated technology of this format.
For my usage, the fields for the genealogy sources are too short, but should be easy to enlarge in the MySQL database (I haven't done this yet). The PHP scripts are, understandably, largely in Dutch which makes following them more difficult for those of us who do not speak this language (I am not monolingual btw.) and in the Sources List, the descriptions have yet to be translated, but nevertheless the meaning of them is pretty clear.
I recommend that anyone trying this program should first try it on their own PC and not the web. This involves installing a stand-alone server and the manual gives a full description of how to to this for XAMPP-lite. This also a free open-source application. Be prepared to do some work for yourself to get the output to that which you wish, but if you do hit problems the site has a Forum which I have found to be very responsive and helpful.
I have yet to put my site on-line using HuMo-gen, but only because I wish to fully familiarise myself with its workings, and I will do so at the end of December. To those, who like me, are not happy with what has been around for a while, I would say "give it a run".

Why Investors Care
Investors track economic data like the Empire State Manufacturing Survey to understand the economic backdrop for the various markets. The stock market likes to see healthy economic growth because that translates to higher corporate profits. The bond market prefers a moderate growth environment that won't generate inflationary pressures. The Empire Manufacturing Survey gives a detailed look at New York state's manufacturing sector, how busy it is and where things are headed. Since manufacturing is a major sector of the economy, this report has a big influence on the markets. Some of the Empire State Survey sub-indexes also provide insight on commodity prices and other clues on inflation. The Federal Reserve closely watches this report because when inflation signals are flashing, policymakers can reset the direction of interest rates. As a consequence, the bond market can be highly sensitive to this report. The equity market is also sensitive to this report because it is the first clue on the nation's manufacturing sector, reported in advance of the Philadelphia Fed's business outlook survey.

A person who doesn't give much to others on an emotional level. He or she may be socially adept and charming and quite generous in other ways, but not when it comes to investing love and trust and friendship in fellow human beings. It could be a form of self-defense or it could be a kind of selfishness, or both. The pop cultural consensus is that emotional misers are missing out on the essential human experience by their disconnection. A common story arc features an emotional miser's transformation into a loving, connected, happier person -- often against his or her own will.
Ryan Bingham (George Clooney's character in Up in the Air) and Will Freeman (Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy) are examples of emotional misers in film and literature.

Hurricane Sandy was our worst nightmare realized. This monster storm packed as much energy as two World War II era atomic bombs, causing massive destruction, the likes of which had not been seen since the Long Island Express of 1938, a now legendary Category III hurricane. Trapped on an island jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, we were front and center when Sandy attacked with a vengeance. Thousands of homes were inundated with seawater and sewage. Hundreds were left uninhabitable. Two and a half years later, we continue to rebuild our tattered shoreline. In this series we will look in the coming months at the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery's ongoing effort to reconstruct worst-case homes, businesses and communities that Sandy ravaged on Oct. 29, 2012 — and the myriad issues that residents and officials face as they piece together our shredded infrastructure. At the same time, we will look at state and local officials' efforts to reinforce Long Island in the hope that we might be able to withstand nature's fury better when the next monster storm hits. —Scott Brinton, senior editor more

Cancer and cancer treatment often cause a variety of side effects. Talk with your doctor about which side effects are likely based on your specific treatment plan. An important part of cancer care is relieving side effects, called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care. It is important to talk with your health care team about the specific side effects you experience and the best ways to manage and treat them.
To learn about the symptoms and management of the long-term side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, see Cancer.Net's Late Effects section.
To easily track the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, Cancer.Net offers a free mobile application for iOS and Android called Cancer.Net Mobile.

Canucks down Flames 5-1 but lose Daniel Sedin
Vancouver Canucks Daniel Sedin is taken off the ice on a stretcher after being hit by Calgary Flames Paul Byron during the second period of the final regular-season game at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. Sunday, April 13, 2014.

VANCOUVER — It has been that kind of season for the Vancouver Canucks. Even when things go right, they go wrong.
Daniel Sedin scored two goals for the first time in more than a year Sunday night, but then was carted off the ice on a stretcher after a hit from behind late in the second period of Vancouver's season-ending 5-1 win over the Calgary Flames.
And his injury only served to inflame the bad blood between Vancouver coach John Tortorella and his Calgary counterpart Bob Hartley.
Daniel lay motionless flat on his back after being pushed from behind by Calgary centre Paul Byron and slamming his head into the glass. Canuck trainer Mike Burnstein rushed onto the ice and immediately motioned for doctors and a stretcher was brought onto the ice.
Several moments later, Daniel was placed onto the stretcher. Henrik Sedin left the Vancouver bench to be with his brother, but returned to play in the third period.
Daniel was taken to hospital and the Canucks reported he was in stable condition and undergoing "further evaluation and imaging." The team also said he was moving his extremities.
Sportsnet's Dan Murphy reported late Sunday night that Daniel had been released from hospital.
Henrik Sedin said he knew his brother was seriously hurt when he didn't get up right away.
"He not a guy who stays down or acts hurt," Henrik said after the game. "If he's down something's wrong."
Henrik talked to Daniel in the medical room at Rogers Arena before he was transported to Vancouver Hospital and said he "seemed to be in a good mood."
Tortorella, who was suspended after he tried to storm the Calgary dressing room to get at Hartley following the first period of a Jan. 18 game at Rogers Arena, lobbed some verbal shots at Hartley after Sunday night's game.
"It's embarrassing to coach against the guy across from me tonight," Tortorella said. "Some of the things that went on when Danny's hurt, it's embarrassing. I probably have no right to say anything because of the year that I have had. But that stuff pisses me off.
"I probably shouldn't say anything, but he pisses me off," Tortorella added. "I just don't like the disrespect of players, it aggravates me.. .
"I'm not going to go any further. I don't like the way he does business. I don't like him and eventually I guess why I am talking about it this way is I need to protect my players. A lot of people don't understand that. I'll just leave it that.. . .he aggravates the (expletive deleted) out of me."
Tortorella did say that all the news he had of Daniels' condition was positive.
"I believe he's okay," Tortorella said. "He did go to the hospital for precautionary reasons and the last report I got from Bernie is that he's okay."
Byron said he thought the hit was clean.
"I just saw the puck in the corner and I was just trying to finish my check," Byron said. "I saw the replay again. I didn't think it was a dirty hit. It wasn't my intention, I just hope he's okay. You never want to see that happen to a guy on the ice. It wasn't my intention at all."
Byron received a five-minute boarding major and a game misconduct for the hit. But it appeared referees Rob Martell and Steve Kozari did not signal a penalty until they realized Sedin was hurt.
"From the bench it didn't look terrible," Henrik said of the hit. "Like I said, I was upset at first, too, but my first reaction was it didn't look bad. But you watch the replay and he runs his head into the boards and it doesn't look as good on the replays. I understand the referees, that is why there are four guys out there. I think the linesmen were the ones making the call and good on them."
The incident put a damper on what was planned to be a celebratory kind of night to end what has been a miserable season. Pat Quinn was added to the team's Ring of Honour at Rogers Arena In a pre-game ceremony and the Canucks announced their individual team awards throughout the night.
The Canucks beat the Flames for the fifth time this season and ended their season with a record of 36-35-11 and 83 points. The Canucks finished 12th in the Western Conference and 25th overall in the NHL. That means that unless a team ahead of them in the standings gets really lucky in Tuesday's draft lottery the Canucks will pick no worse than sixth overall at the June draft in Philadelphia. The Canucks have a 6.2 per cent of winning the draft lottery and snagging the first overall pick.
ICE CHIPS: Defenceman Frank Corrado, who scored his first NHL goal Sunday night, and forward Nicklas Jensen are being returned to the Utica Comets for their final three regular-season games.
Daniel Sedin scored twice in the first period, his second standing up as the game winner, before he left on a stretcher late in the second after being boarded by Flames' forward Paul Byron. Frank Corrado, Ryan Kesler and Yannick Weber added second-period goals. Jacob Markstrom made 21 saves for his first victory as a Canuck. Vancouver went 2-for-4 on the power play while the Flames were 0-for-2. The Canucks won all five games against the Flames this season.
Ryan Kesler reached the 25-goal plateau for the fourth time in his career ... Canuck rookies Frank Corrado and Mike Zalewski each earned their first NHL points, Corrado scoring unassisted and Zalewski setting up Kesler's goal ... Flames rookie Johnny Gaudreau, the Hobey Baker winner, scored in his first NHL game ... Excluding shootout winners, the Canucks finished the season with 191 real goals, the lowest ever in a non-lockout shortened year ... Alex Edler was minus-1 and completed his miserable season at minus-39, worst in the NHL.
Pat Quinn became the fifth member of the Canucks' ring of honour, joining original captain Orland Kurtenbach, goalie Kirk McLean, centre Thomas Gradin and defenceman Harold Snepsts. Here's some of what Quinn said during his speech prior to Sunday's puck drop: "My special thanks to the Griffiths family, who brought me here in 1987 and turned over the keys to us. It was a troubled franchise. I'm very, very thankful to them for that opportunity."
"We wanted to re-create some hope, something the fans could be proud of. No one person builds a franchise. My first hire I see sitting there on the Flames bench, Brian Burke. We wanted players who could skate, think and lead. The first draft we had, we lucked out getting a building block in Trevor Linden. Those great times are going to be back with us again. Thank you very much for how you have treated me."

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Wrong Is Right
|United Liberty Paper
Head to the question mark on your map, located on a section of Columbus Avneue in Algonquin that's currently under road construction (necessitating that you drive nearby, get out, and head into the event arrow by walking instead of driving). Once there, the girl you knew as Michelle will come out and smoke a cigarette as she and Niko have an awkward conversation. She then brings you into the skyscraper, where you meet another guy who refuses to give you his name. However, he seems to have Niko by the balls, as it was, and asks him to go take care of a Russian mobster back in Hove Beach (the very first area in the game you travel to). And like that, you're transported back outside and sent on your way.
Boost a car nearby, being careful not to attract any police attention. Then, head back over to the Broker/Dukes island with the help of your vehicle's GPS. The route you take will likely bring you south in Algonquin and then over the Broker Bridge into the borough of Broker, since your destination is right on the other side of the bridge. You're headed for Iroquois Avenue, around your old stomping grounds. Once you arrive at your destination, get out of your car and head up to the door marked by the yellow arrow.
You'll find Oleg's house empty. There seems to be very little here of interest except for a laptop suspiciously sitting on a small table in the living room. Niko will call his mysterious contact and let him know what he's found, and he'll then be ordered to logon and check the guy's e-mail. Approach the laptop, following the same on-screen prompt to logon to this machine as you do at an in-game internet café. Check his e-mail (again, same interface as the internet café computers). You'll find three e-mails, but only the top one is important. Once you read it, Niko will call his contact back automatically and let him know what he finds. Since you now have a new location to head to (Tulsa Street in Hove Beach), you have to head there and eliminate the target.

Luke 3:23b-24, 36-38 - He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph... the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
Matthew 24: 36-39 - No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Luke 17:26-27 - "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
Hebrews 11:1, 6-7 - Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see... And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
1 Peter 3:18-20 - For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
2 Peter 2: 4-5, 9 - For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; ... if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
2 Peter 3:3-7 - First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Next, are you going to tell me the Bible falls apart if Baalam's talking ass is made up?

Angelina Jolie's Wedding Dress & Veil Featured Her Kids' Designs
Angelina Jolie's wedding dress was revealed this evening and our favorite part of it has to be that she featured artwork drawn by her children all over her dress and veil!
The 39-year-old actress had Atelier Versace's Donatella Versace design the dress with master tailor Luigi Massi based on her kids' creativity and he sewed dozens of designs into the dress and veil.
"Luigi is like family to me and I couldn't imagine anyone else making this dress," Angelina told People. "He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together."
The groom, Brad Pitt, wore a suit from his own closet, but he forgot to pack his tie so he had to borrow one from his boys!
Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and Knox all wore black suits while Zahara wore an Adama Kebe dress and Vivienne wore a white dress from her closet.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Angelina Jolie's wedding dress?

How did I ever learn to like fencing?
By Michele Herman
When our younger son was eight and had a head full of Robin Hood and Lancelot, he asked for fencing lessons for Christmas. We said, are you sure, hoping he wasnt. We had managed to avoid kids organized sports until then and were in no hurry to sign away our weekends for swashbuckling school. But if it had been a movie, at this moment the orchestra would have struck up a theme brimming with conviction, and he would have looked us in the eye and said: Mom, Dad, Ive never been more sure of anything in my life.
So we promised him fencing lessons, figuring that with all the other neighborhood kids who never saw a stick, dowel or plunger they didnt itch to wield, lessons would be easy to come by. We knew that in the past Carmine Street Rec and the McBurney Y had offered fencing. But the next day we opened the paper to learn that Metropolis in Chelsea, which turned out to be the only fencing school left for miles around, was entering bankruptcy.
Thus began our quest, spurred by our unwavering son. The search for fencing classes any fencing classes lasted a month, and every lead we found circled us back to Metropolis. Eventually a friend called with a number she had clipped from a tiny ad in the paper, which in turn led me to a name my searches had not turned up: the Alexandre Dumas School of Fencing. At the time my son was working his way through The Three Musketeers. Is this a good omen or what, my husband and I asked each other.
The owner answered the phone. He said kids were their specialty, and the school welcomed newcomers and was very friendly, and we should come by any Saturday afternoon, stay for two or three hours and pay ten bucks. He gave me a nice little lecture on how he teaches from the inside out, developing kids minds. Skeptical at stumbling onto what seemed to be the grail, I asked how it could be Id never heard of his Upper West Side school. He said, oh, we let people find us. So thats where you can find us most Saturdays, my son parrying and thrusting with enormous precision and concentration on the strip in his mask and vest and glove, and me, the anti-organized-sports mom, sitting on a folding chair watching with a big grin on my face.
And now Im going to do something I never thought Id do, because its so grating when sports fans do it: get all gooey about the beauty of sports. But I cant help myself. When this fencing business started, I didnt understand it at all, beyond the obvious boy appeal of a sport that sanctions the use of a pointy weapon as equipment instead of a ball. I thought fencing was vaguely blue-blooded and effete, like social dancing or polo. It seemed as dead as Latin, as stagy as Errol Flynn in kelly-green tights.
But after a year of being an Alexandre Dumas habituee and watching my son soak up his lessons, I have to admit he was on to something. Fencing is beautiful, even if we have to schlep to W. 101st St. to do it. Like ballet, its full of grace and rigor, and its French. First position is even the same, except that in fencing you turn your torso to the side to make it a smaller target. I also like the boxing-like physics of taking all the available masses and moving parts of a human body and enlisting them as pulleys and motors and counterweights. It all makes perfect sense: You squat for flexibility and center of gravity, you advance with your front heel and retreat with your rear toes, and you adjust your back arm to balance your thrusting one. The foil is only an extension of the strength, balance, precision, endurance and sheer wits behind it.
Fencing is not as American as Little League, but to its advantage it doesnt come with long lulls in the outfield or on the bench or with parental adrenaline leaking out all over the place. There are no synthetic jerseys emblazoned with the name of Chase Bank or Murrays Cheese. Its sport boiled down to 1000-year-old essence. You wear a plain-white, heavy-cotton fencing vest, with standing collar and simple lines, surely the most handsome and flattering uniform ever designed. If I were Marc Jacobs, I would look into a fencing-inspired line.
For my son, the point is more that fencing makes him an honorary Musketeer like DArtagnon. It gives him a seat at the Round Table, which means that Merlin cant be far away. This is, after all, a kid who thinks up a new Halloween persona every year involving weapons and capes and belts and ammo bags or quivers slung across his shoulder. Fencing also goes a long way toward correcting for the unfairness of being second born. In fencing, it doesnt matter how big you are as much as how well you use what youve got.
The courtliness also has its charms once you learn it. You call the teachers coach and shake their hands when you say hello and goodbye. You begin each round with a series of salutes concluding in a wonderful swashbuckly slicing of the foil through the air, and you end by removing your mask with your right hand and shaking your opponents hand with your left.
As for my blue-blood misconception, the owner of Dumas is a 71-year-old black man and former fencing champ who has taught fencing to generations of inner-city kids. The other coaches include a young black guy in a do-rag with a winning sense of humor, a middle-aged Hispanic woman, and our sons first teacher Cindy, a blond Italian-American triathlete bond trader.
We love Cindy. Shes strict and no-nonsense, but shes also clear and patient. She never gushes, but you can see in her face that she adores fencing and working with the kids. This fall she left temporarily to coach the Frederick Douglass Academy fencing team. They made it to the finals, losing nobly in the end to number-one-ranked Stuyvesant in Battery Park City.
Dumas is not for everybody. Its a scrappy and makeshift place. The owner lost the space he was renting in the Volunteers of America building and moved to the basement of an apartment building nearby, spruced up with a fresh paint job but definitely a basement. He was raised the price. And you know that lecture about fencing from the inside out? Lets say we can practically recite it by heart.
Our son is about to turn 10, and he still has a head full of Robin Hood and Lancelot. Age 10 is when competitive fencing begins, and the head coach just told us hes ready for tournaments. Unlike most of his peers, when he has an idle moment, he doesnt ask to play Age of Mythology on the computer. He goes to the imaginary strip that runs the length of our living room and, with a fierce look on his face, a perfectly balanced torso and a stealthy heel-toe movement, he lunges.

Keep Pushing, Ms Jones. I have little faith in politicians (left or right) in this city and country. I will vote for someone who states the truth and makes cycling in London safer.
Every time I have challenged the Mayor about cycle safety recently, he has lectured me about "your duty as an honest politician to tell people the truth that cycling is actually getting safer, when you consider the number of people on the roads". I was happy to do so, as I often did when the previous mayor's Road Safety Ambassador. In early 2008 I would be stood at one of the Mayor's weekly press conferences (those were the days) and happily declare that cyclists were nearly half as likely to be injured as they were eight years before. The number of cyclists had grown dramatically and the number injured had fallen. It wasn't perfect, but I felt it was heading in the right direction.
I was discussing cycle safety with one of the Conservative Assembly members the other day and he started by re-stating that cycling was getting safer. I agreed and repeated the usual TfL mantra. Yes, cycling casualties had gone up in absolute terms since Boris became Mayor but the rate of casualties per number of trips was still falling. But was it? I decided to check the figures and realised that it probably isn't.
Annual Estimated KSI Slight Total Rough period cycling casualties casualties calculation trips of casualty per day rate 2000 310,000 422 3,084 3,506 1 per 32,291 trips Total 2008 480,000 445 2,757 3,202 1 per 55,175 trips Total 2009 500,000 433 3,236 3,669 1 per 49,751 trips Total 2010 550,000(est) 467 3,540 4,007 1 per 50,136 trips
The number of cycling casualties is not in dispute. They have been rising fast and the figures I have for the first six months of 2011 show that they are continuing that rapid rise. The crucial question for many cycling campaigners is whether this increase is going up faster than the increase in the number of cyclists. TfL have issued cycle numbers up to 2009. This shows that cycling is certainly safer than it was in 2000, but it has probably become more dangerous since Boris took charge. The Mayor may well argue that cycling has increased rapidly in 2010, but even if we assume a 10% annual rise across the whole of London (as opposed to the 15% rise on the roads which TfL runs, which the Mayor often refers to) this would still leave the rate worse than it was when Boris took office.
I admit that these are my back of the envelope calculations, as neither TfL nor the Mayor has produced any of their own figures. However, they highlight the fact that the Mayor is making this assertion that 'cycling is getting safer' without actually knowing if it is true. The instinct of a growing number of cyclists is that the Mayor is complacent and wrong. He came into office encouraging people to cycle and then made the road network more dangerous with his 'smoothing traffic' agenda which gives motorised traffic the priority at dangerous junctions like Bow Roundabout. This has made vulnerable road users (pedestrians and cyclists) even more vulnerable.
Of course we must encourage cycling and hopefully create a critical mass of cyclists which changes the whole culture on our roads. However, I stick to my view that every death and injury is potentially avoidable and that we should always be asking what could be done to stop it happening next time. We need to adopt the Swedish 'vision zero' approach. When I was Road Safety Ambassador I insisted that Transport for London adopt tough targets to reduce the number of cycling casualties. They wanted to adopt a figure based on the 'rate' as they claimed it was too difficult to reduce casualties when the number of cycling trips was going up, I stuck to my guns and luckily the total number fell. We need the Swedish approach in London and that means a complete change in culture throughout the Met Police, Transport for London, local authority engineers in London and a new direction from the Mayor.

Good lord, a politician checking her facts before repeating the official line? Whatever next?!
It's interesting that New York has managed an absolute increase in ridership (albeit with the actual increase under dispute) without any corresponding increase in injuries and death, according to the New York Times.
Couldn't be anything to do with their investment in proper infrastructure instead of blue paint on the roads, could it?
I want cycling to be safer for everyone, but I also want to make sure that we're using the evidence as well as we can.
Quoting raw numbers can be misleading, so I ran some stats tests. Based on this data, it's definitely a stretch to claim things are getting worse, but you can also say with some confidence that they aren't getting better, either.
So I'd contest Jenny's claim that things have got worse under Boris, but BoJo has failed to improve conditions for us cyclists, based on the quoted figures. Given the noise he makes about it, that's totally unacceptable.
What I worked out using a couple of approaches is that the numbers are very likely better between 2000 and the later years due to real effects (i.e. it got safer), but from 2008-2010 the numbers wobble about. Some look to be real effects, some random changes you can put down to chance.
I'd invite anyone with stronger maths than me to check again - I like evidence, not conjecture, and I'd love to see some "official" numbers so someone can actual do a proper analysis.
Here endeth the nerdage.
The conclusions you have reached are not safe. If you look out the DfT Reported Road Casualty Great Britain papers on accident reporting rates you will find that while deaths and serious injuries are well reported, there is serious under-reporting for minor injuries....because they are minor. For that reason the best guide is by looking at ksi figures not the all injury ones as the latter can vary according to variations in reporting. For example the rise could be due to greater concerns in the cycling community and therefore an increasing tendency to report minor injury accidents. Most serious injuries are, contrary to most people's expectation, not that serious if you read the definitions for their coding in the STATS19 and while there are some most are not what you would call the life changing sort. Bad cuts and grazes or kept in for observation for example.
If you repeat your calculations using the ksi figure it has got consistently safer with around one ksi per million plus journeys now. I would be far more trusting of that figure than your all injury figures for the reasons above.
Three further points to that - the Boris Bikes must by now have done over 8 million journeys without a single serious injury as far as I know - interesting that they have a so much lower accident rate despite many novice users.
If we were to get rid of the lorry deaths and injuries in London the ksi figures would plummet. The solution to getting much safer cycling in London and quickly is not facilities as someone above has suggested but taming the lorries and their drivers.
Finally, while we should worry about decreasing the numbers of accidents and injuries, despite perceptions, cycling is very safe. Even on your all injuries figures it would take me 113 years of cycling twice a day, 220 days a year to have an evens risk of a minor injury and over 20 times longer to get a "serious" injury. So sure, lets focus on making it safer but please don't portray it as dangerous. Its that false portrayal and perception that discourages many people from cycling.
where do these numbers come from? Tfl? How accurate a picture do they paint I wonder?
I got hit in September, I had right of way (bright orange jersey!) and a minivan driver just came across my path making a right. Typical smidsy. Fortunately I didn't come off the bike and wasn't injured, neither was the bike damaged. Driver stopped, possibly because there were lots of witnesses, but very apologetic, we just made sure each other was ok and went our separate ways.
But despite not reporting it officially, I did report it on the http://www.stop-smidsy.org.uk/ web site, just because I wanted the statistic to be out there.
Do things like this appear in these numbers? They should do. As for the streets being safer? They were scary when I first got a bike in London and they're still scary now. I know I've become a better rider amd am able to reduce the risk I subject myself to, but there's no accounting for the other guy...
@PeteH Looking at the numbers they seem very similar to the DfT Stats 19 tables broken down by local authority. Similar but not the same the total cycle casualty rate is very slightly higher on Stats 19. I'd say Jenny Jones's figures probably come from the same source though, casualties reported to the police, maybe she gets them via TfL. We'll ask.
@Tony I agree that cycling is a much safer activity than most people think it is, and it's certainly a good deal safer riding London's roads than those in many other parts of the country, but it could be safer still.
Your argument seems to be that we should ignore the stats for slight casualties because they are unreliably er… low. Well I can see that if you take out a casualty figure that actually should be higher cycling in the capital is going to look a lot safer.
Ignoring inconvenient statistics is I'll grant you a good way to prove your argument. I reckon there's a bright future as a career politician or maybe a senior position at a merchant bank there for the asking if you want it , but while your analysis would seem to prove that cycling in London is getting safer the inconvenient truth is that 16 cyclists have lost their lives in the capital so far this year… already more than last year. That number on its own should have a big effect on the national casualty stats for 2011.
No argument though that taming the lorry drivers would go a hell of a way to cutting the death rate I think there is an argument that better infrastructure has a big part to play too. All the rest of those casualties weren't caused by lorries - as is all too clear lorry Vs cyclist incidents usually end in the worst possible way. The helped create the create London's Cycling Revolution he can't simply take credit for its success he also owns its problems too. If you encourage large numbers of people to cycle in from the suburbs it's your responsibility to ensure you've done everything possible to make the roads as safe as possible for them. From out here in the sticks it looks like the jury is out on that one.
I don't know whether cycling in London is getting safer or not, viewed from outside the capital and as an ex-London commuter the transformation has been amazing and I certainly don't want to denigrate it - I love cycling in London whenever I go there.
In my view, concentrating solely on deaths creates an erroneous view of the experience of cycling in London. Just because one survives a journey does not, in itself, signify that it was a safe one.
I've been cycling in London for over 25 years and of one thing I am sure: year on year the experience has just got worse and worse. I am not alone in feeling this as plenty of experienced cyclists I speak to share the same view. Purely anecdotal, I know, but we can't all be wrong. I don't see this in any surveys or government statistics.
I commute some 15 miles a day, possibly much longer if I put in an extended training run. It is a rare day indeed on which I don't experience some sort of incident regarding a motorist. By "incident" I'm referring to such as the relentless close overtakes, near misses, SMIDSYs, speeding, red light jumping, overtakes on approaches to (or actually on) roundabouts, doors opening into my path, ASL infringements, drivers tailgating and honking to indicate that I should give way to them (why?), abuse and, in rare cases, intentional pursuit, blocking of my path and being forced off the road.
On top of this we have an often lacklustre response by Police to complaints lodged by cyclists, a lack of parking restriction enforcement which means that vehicles stopping in cycle lanes is a common occurrence, an almost pathological inability of tfl to actually act on complaints about their operative's behaviour on the road (try sorting that out for starters, Boris) and much the same attitude from the PCO with regard to the lamentable behaviour of some black cab drivers.
This all combines to make the experience of cycling in London a progressively less enjoyable one. Neither the £££s spent on happy little posters exhorting us all to get on our bikes (surely this is just greeny point scoring) nor the statistics purporting to show that, because there are less cyclist deaths, cycling must be getting safer mean much when it comes to cyclists' experiences in the real world.
Yes, I may be alive but, when it comes to the the current state of affairs,
The search for data to support policy is never-ending. I recently wrote a short blog on cycling safety in Bristol, in which I show how raw counts of casualties, mile for mile are much higher in London than in any English region and that this holds for all modes of transport. This doesn't prove anything, but it does at least challenge certainty when taken with all the other reports we have available. The blog is here: http://thislast.blogspot.com/2011/12/considerate-cycling-5.html
There is a useful DfT Statistical release from September 2011 that refers to the distinction between police reports and hospital admission reports. This emphasises the important role that data collection plays in shaping the "facts" at our disposal and also links to further data and discussion: http://assets.dft.gov.uk/statistics/releases/road-accidents-and-safety-a...
We should not abandon statistics, but we should keep our thoughts on what we really value. It's obvious that no category of road user enjoys the roads in English cities and each user blames a different culprit. A sensitive analysis of many individual experiences might be worth investing in – being a bit bumped once or twice a year (as experienced by most cyclists) might be much less important than the constant anxiety level experienced in some road contexts. In chasing casualty reduction we might be missing opportunities to reduce car and lorry use in total. Such reductions might be more important than very small changes in road accident causalities. Might.
@Tony, I agree with some of what you say but you can't really argue for rigorous use of statistics on the one hand and then pull this:
...the Boris Bikes must by now have done over 8 million journeys without a single serious injury as far as I know - interesting that they have a so much lower accident rate despite many novice users...
