Toddlers are children ages 1 - 3.
Cognitive (thought) development skills typical for toddlers include:
- Early use of instruments or tools
- Following visual (then later, invisible) displacement (moving from one place to another) of objects
- Understanding that objects and people are there, even if you cant see them (object and people permanence)
Personal-social development in the toddler stage focuses on the child learning to adjust to societys demands, while trying to maintain independence and a sense of self.
These milestones are typical of children in the toddler stages. Some variation is normal. Talk to your health care provider if you have questions about your childs development.
The following are signs of expected physical development in a toddler:
GROSS MOTOR SKILLS (use of large muscles in the legs and arms)
- Stands alone well by 12 months
- Walks well by 12 - 15 months (Ifa child is not walking by 18 months, he or she should be evaluated by a health care provider.)
- Learns to walk backwards and up steps with help at about 16 - 18 months
- Jumps in place by about 24 months
- Rides a tricycle and stands briefly on one foot by about 36 months
FINE MOTOR SKILLS (use of small muscles in hands and fingers)
- Makes tower of three cubes by around 15 months
- Scribbles by 15 - 18 months
- Can use spoon by 24 months
- Can copy a circle by 36 months
- Uses 2 - 3 words (other than Mama or Dada) at 12 - 15 months
- Understands and follows simple commands (such as "bring to Mommy") at 14 - 16 months
- Names pictures of items and animals at 18 - 24 months
- Points to named body parts at 18 - 24 months
- Begins to say his or her own name at 22 - 24 months
- Combines 2 words at 16 to 24 months (There is a range of ages at which children are first able to combine words into sentences. Talk to your childs health care provider if the toddler cannot make sentences by 24 months.)
- Knows gender and age by 36 months
- Indicates some needs by pointing at 12 - 15 months
- Looks for help when in trouble by 18 months
- Helps to undress and put things away by 18 - 24 months
- Listens to stories when shown pictures and can tell aboutrecent experiences by 24 months
- Cantake partin pretend play and simple games by 24 - 36 months
Toddlers are always trying to be more independent. This creates safety concerns as well as discipline challenges. The child must be consistently taught the limits of appropriate vs. inappropriate behavior.
When toddlers try out activities they havent yet mastered, they can get frustrated and angry. Breath-holding, crying, screaming, and temper tantrums may often occur.
It is important for a child at this stage to:
- Learn from experiences
- Rely on boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors
Toddler safety is very important.
- Parents need to be aware that the child can now walk, run, climb, jump, and explore. This new stage of movement makes child-proofing the home very important. Window guards, gates on stairways, cabinet locks, toilet seat locks, electric outlet covers, and other safety features are needed to keep the child safe.
- Put the toddler in a safety restraint (toddler car seat) when riding in a car.
- Do not leave a toddler unattended for even short periods of time. Remember, more accidents occur during the toddler years than at any other stage of childhood.
- Make clear rules about not playing in streets or crossing without an adult.
- Falls are a major cause of injury. Keep gates or doors to stairways closed, and use guards for all windows above the ground floor. Do not leave chairs or ladders in areas that are likely to tempt the toddler into climbing up to explore new heights. Use corner guards on furniture in areas where the toddler is likely to walk, play, or run.
- Poisoning is a common cause of toddler illness and death. Keep all medicines in a locked cabinet. Keep all toxic household products (polishes, acids, cleaning solutions, chlorine bleach, lighter fluid, insecticides, or poisons) in a locked cabinet or closet. Many household and garden plants, such as toad stools, may cause serious illness or death if eaten. Ask your childs health care provider for a list of common poisonous plants.
- If someone in the household owns a firearm, make sure it is unloaded and locked in a secure place.
- Keep toddlers away from the kitchen with a safety gate, or place them in a playpen or high chair. This will eliminate the danger of burns from pulling hot foods off the stove or bumping into the hot oven door.
- Do not let toddlers play in water alone. A toddler may drown, even in shallow water in a bathtub. Parent-child swimming lessons can be another safe and enjoyable way for toddlers to play in water. Never leave a child unattended near a pool, open toilet, or bathtub. Toddlers cannot learn how to swim and cannot be independent near any body of water.
- The toddler years are for children to learn accepted rules of behavior. It is important for parents to be consistent both in modeling behavior (behaving the way you want your child to behave), and in pointing out inappropriate behavior in the child. Recognize and reward positive behavior. You can introduce time-outs for negative behavior, or for going beyond the limits you set for your child.
- The toddlers favorite word may seem to be "NO!!!" It is important for parents not to fall into a pattern of negative behaviorusing yelling, spanking, and threats.
- Teach children the proper names of body parts.
- Stress the unique, individual qualities of the child.
- Teach the concepts of please, thank you, and sharing with others.
- Read to the child regularly. This will help develop verbal skills.
- Toddlers thrive on regularity. Major changes in their routine are hard for them. Toddlers should have regular nap, bed, snack, and meal times.
- Toddlers should not be allowed to eat many snacks throughout the day. Too many snacks can take away the desire to eat regular meals, which tend to offer more balanced nutrition.
- Traveling with a toddler or having guests at the house can disrupt the child's routine. This may make the child more irritable. In these situations, reassure the child and try to get back to a routine in a calm way.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (March 14, 2014) – Senior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) carded a score of 2-over-par 74 to lead the No. 46-ranked ETSU women's golf team during first round play in the 3M Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate Friday at the Forest Hills Golf Club.
Evans' efforts tied her for third on the individual leaderboard, just one stroke off the pace set by Mercer's Lacey Fears and Illinois' Samanthan Postillion with their pair of 1-over-par 73s. As a team, the Buccaneers battled tough playing conditions but still placed five players in the Top 20 individually, finishing in second place on the team leaderboard ahead of programs like No. 41 Kansas, No. 48 Illinois and No. 43 GRU Augusta.
"Today the conditions were really tough and the girls battled all day to get us in the final grouping for tomorrow," said ETSU assistant coach Lauren Stratton, who is on the road with the team as head coach Stefanie Shelton is on maternity leave. "I am very proud of the effort, and I am excited to see how many shots we can make up when we play 36 holes tomorrow."
Due to inclement weather expected on Sunday in Augusta, the tournament format has been adjusted to accommodate a 36-hole schedule on Saturday to finish the three-round event. This leaves the Bucs in the same grouping with Vanderbilt, which currently holds a 10-stroke edge for the top spot.
The Bucs showed they have the depth to compete for the team title, as Evans was joined in the Top 20 by her other teammates. Specifically, sophomore Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) and junior Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) both tied for 16th, while freshman Linda Dobele (Ogre, Latvia) and senior Lourdes Lopez (Cadiz, Spain) tied for 20th.

Infection control in hospital ICUs was improved when patients were washed daily with chlorhexidine-soaked washcloths in a randomized trial, researchers reported.
Compared with non-antibacterial washing, the wipedowns with chlorhexidine washcloths associated with a 23% lower rate of multidrug-resistant organism acquisition (P=0.03), according to Michael Climo, MD, of the McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Richmond, Va., and colleagues.
Bathing with chlorhexidine washcloths was also tied to a 28% lower rate of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (P=0.007), they wrote in the Feb. 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The antiseptic agent chlorhexidine gluconate is effective against a broad-spectrum of organisms and "has residual antibacterial activity, which may decrease the microbial burden on patients' skin and prevent secondary environmental contamination," they noted.
The authors also noted that prior research had shown chlorhexidine bathing was tied to possible prevention of bloodstream infection and multidrug-resistant organism acquisition.
The further test this association, the researchers carried out a multicenter, cluster-randomized, nonblinded crossover study of daily bathing with chlorhexidine in 7,727 patients in intensive care or bone marrow transplantation units.
It took place in nine such units in six hospitals. Units were randomized to wash all patients either with no-rinse 2% chlorhexidine-soaked washcloths or non-antimicrobial washcloths over 6 months.
Each unit then switched over to the other method of patient bathing for the next 6 months.
The participants were monitored for bloodstream infections and multidrug-resistant organisms over the 2 days following each bathing period. Rates of infection and organism acquisition were measured during this time.
Patients were actively monitored for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) during the study. Those colonized with either bug "were placed on contact precautions once test results became available," the researchers indicated. The same precautions were instituted immediately on admission for those with a history of colonization or infection.
Researchers also recorded unit characteristics, unit type, mean length of stay, rate of use of central venous catheters, median patient age, distribution of patient sex, monthly rate of incident and prevalent MRSA colonization or infection, monthly rate of incident and prevalent VRE colonization or infection, and infection with MRSA or VRE at time of admission.
Among those treated with the non-antibacterial wash, there were 165 new cases of MRSA or VRE versus 127 among those washed with chlorhexidine, for a rate of 6.10 versus 5.10 per 1,000 patient-days (P=0.03).
Additionally, patients treated with the chlorhexidine wash showed a trend toward a lower overall rate of VRE acquisition, 3.21 versus 4.28 in the control group (both per 1,000 patient-days, P=0.05).
There was a nonsignificant difference in the rate of MRSA acquisition between chlorhexidine and non-antibacterial groups during that period (1.89 versus 2.32 cases per 1,000 patient-days, respectively, P=0.29).
Patients treated with chlorhexidine had significantly lower rates of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections than those washed with non-antibacterial cloths (4.78 versus 6.60 cases per 1,000 patient-days, P=0.007).
Overall risk over time in a Kaplan-Meier analysis was also significantly lower for chlorhexidine-bathed patients (P=0.02).
The differences in risk of bloodstream infection was more pronounced among patients who were in the intensive care unit longer, they noted. Those who were in the intensive care unit for more than 7 days and bathed with chlorhexidine had a relative risk of 0.69 for primary bloodstream infection (95% CI 0.47 to 0.99).
Bathing with chlorhexidine was also associated with lower rates of central-catheter-associated bloodstream infection with Gram-positive cocci, but not significantly reduced rates of fungal infection.
Both treatments were generally well-tolerated, with only 208 skin reactions among patients (78 of those initially treated with chlorhexidine versus 130 of those initially treated with non-antibacterial cloths). Some 85% of skin reactions were mild to moderate.
They concluded that the wash offered a simple, cost-effective, and safe strategy for preventing healthcare-associated infections, colonizations, and bug acquisition.
Similar results were reported recently in a study of pediatric intensive care unit patients.
The study was supported by the CDC and Sage Products, who provided the wipes for the bathing interventions.

About Verse
Cut and paste from my Goodreads review:
I found it a little unlikely sometimes that the protagonist, Cecil, managed to run away to London and not end up addicted/abused/beaten. Maybe there are some rose-tinted glasses on what homelessness can really be like. Even the hardcore tramps are painted in a sympathetic way (and the London cab drivers). Skip diving is also a lot less pleasant than portrayed, plus store employees tend to get the really good stuff before it reaches the skips.
I'm not 100% but I think Cecil's art - remixing a famous actors work into new scenes - is fair use, it's certainly transnformative, but mash-ups usually tend to become copyright violation targets. Although, Cecil does download and use pirate apps I guess. I mean, he's not the average pirate - downloading a film/app because its free and convenient. A sympathetic pirate figure.
That said, it's a damn good story, had me up reading at 1am for 'one more chapter'. If you're interested in copyright and DRM then this is a good read and not too taxing. Also a very cynical (and accurate) summary of the UK parliamentary system.
Some TV companies are realising that making other domains wait significantly for shows to air after the US air date leads to pirating.
This is why SKY (UK Satelitte broadcaster) is showing it only one day after the US (Sky Atlantic channel).

|Infant antibodies
Oct 7, 2002
At what age would you expect an infant to produce his/her own antibodies? (i.e. HIV)
Response from Dr. Jackson
Infants who are HIV infected typically develop their own HIV antibodies within the first few months of life. Infants who are not HIV infected, but born to HIV infected mothers typically lose their maternal HIV antibodies by 9 months of age, but maternal antibody can be detected in some infants for up to 18 months of age.
Possible symptoms
Mosquitoes and HIV

Rachael Kraske of Omak gave her mother, Cindy, a special present on Mother's Day, May 12.
Rachael, competing for George Fox University, sped to first place in the 400-meter hurdles (1:01.96) in the Saint Martin's University Last Chance outdoor track and field meet.
"We were hoping she could improve her time enough to qualify (for nationals) in one of these last two races of the season," Cindy Kraske said. She exceeded our expectations with an incredible time. It was an amazing Mother's Day present."
Her time was more than a second better than her previous best (1:03.03) and lifted her into a tie for 10th place in the NCAA Division III standings.
She is No. 1 in the Northwest Conference this year and rose to third all-time for George Fox.
Rachael trails only Alyssa Turner (1:01.53 in 2012) and record-holder Liz Stephens (1:01.29 in 1996).
With only a week left in the regular season, she is all but assured of a spot in the NCAA Division III National Championships on May 23-25 in La Crosse, Wis.
Rachael will run in the national preliminaries Thursday, May 23, and if fast enough, reach the finals Saturday, May 25.
She is the daughter of Will and Cindy Kraske.
Caitlyn Behymer of Okanogan recently committed to play basketball at North Idaho College in April.
"She and Kara Staggs will be playing together," Caitlyn's mother, Debbie, said. "Caitlyn is very excited to continue playing a sport she loves and being able to pursue her psychology degree at the same time."
Behymer is the daughter of Bryan and Debbie Behymer, Okanogan.
The Lady Cardinals finished at 28-5 last season after losing, 67-64, to Williston State College in the first round of the NJCAA National Tournament. NIC was the Scenic West Athletic Conference co-champion.
Behymer and Staggs helped lead Okanogan to four straight state appearances, including winning the state title at the end of the 2011-12 season.
Washington Interscholastic Activities Association named Kaitlyn Grunst of Oroville the 2B female Athlete of the Week last week (week 36) after she finished first in four events at the sub-district 2B track meet May 9 in Oroville.
She won the high jump (5-0), triple jump (32-0) and long jump (15-7.5).
Grunst also was a member of the 4x400 relay (4:32.05) with Sierra Speiker, Callie Barker and Brittany Jewett.
The time propelled the team to No. 7 in state.
Also this spring, Cameron Cavadini of Bridgeport was male Athlete of the Week (week 28) after a complete game, 1-hit shutout over Manson. Cavadini finished with 12 strikeouts and was 3-7 hitting.
Others earning the title since September include Chandler Smith of Brewster and Lily Hilderbrand of Oroville in basketball, Jaqueline O'Keefe and Tulie Budiselich of Liberty Bell in soccer, Speiker of Oroville in cross country, Luke Kindred of Oroville in football and Alex Martinez of Bridgeport in volleyball.
Wade Gebbers of Brewster received a 2012-13 Whitworth University Senior Athlete of the Year award last week.
He shared the award with Jamie Bruner and Kyle Novak.
The Whitworth Senior Athlete of the Year award is voted by the athletic department and recognizes outstanding athletic achievement during a student's final year of eligibility.
Gebbers, a point guard, battled through persistent injuries to earn First Team All-NWC, First Team All-West Region (D3hoops.com) and Second Team All-West Region (NABC) this season.
He led the Pirates to the NCAA Division III sweet 16 for the fourth straight year as he averaged 11.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game and led the NWC with 95 total assists and 3.5 assists per game. Gebbers made 40.1 percent of his shots from the field, 37.2 percent from three-point range and he ranked among NWC leaders in free throw percentage (85.3).
Gebbers scored a career-high 27 points at Whitman on Feb. 5 and had 23 points in the season-opener against St. Thomas. On Feb. 21, he became the 23rd player in Whitworth history to surpass 1,000-career points.
Gebbers and Mack Larkin retire as the winningest men's basketball players in Pirate history with career won-loss records of 106-13.
Whitworth won its sixth straight Northwest Conference McIlroy-Lewis All-Sports trophy in 2012-13. They will be recognized at the Senior Reflections during this weekend's graduation festivities.
The Okanogan Valley Ducks Unlimited banquet will be 5:30-10 p.m. Saturday, June 1, at the Omak Elks Lodge, 110 S. Ash St.
"There will be great prime rib for a great cause," organizer Nick Martin said.
There will be tickets for several raffles, including a Yamaha 550 all-terrain vehicle. There will be a no more than 150 total tickets sold in Washington and Oregon, senior regional director Bernard F. Brown said.
The drawing will be held June 22 at the state convention in Silverdale.
The winner need not be present, Brown said.
There will also be a Les Schwab three-gun raffle, a DPMS .223 AR rifle raffle and tickets for an elk hunt for two in New Mexico.
Online ticket sales for the dinner end May 31.

In all the hectic pace of covering 11 schools and 50 teams, I somehow let the Republic baseball team slip by despite a winning season and a postseason appearance.
The Tigers fell, 10-3, to Wilbur-Creston in a loser-out game in the first round of the district 1B tournament played May 7 in Hartline.
Aaron Fritts had a double for Republic (11-6 overall, 9-6 league), which finished with 5 hits.
Republic trailed 3-1 after three innings, only to see the Wildcats score four in the fifth to put the game away.
"Hey guys, Big Wally's walleye tournament on Banks Lake is May 18-19 with $10,000 up for grabs for first place, side pots for big fish run around $4,500 each day," Rod Hammons of Brewster said.
"This is a very well-run tourney, but be prepared for wind as it always seems to blow a little this time of year. Call Big Wally's in Coulee City for more info."
As for county fishing, Hammons said the Okanogan River is at flood stage, "so hopefully the river will be low and warm by the opener for salmon on July 1. This stops them from heading up stream. People are booking trips already, so don't wait till the last minute."
This is Hammons' 20th season as a pro fishing guide.
"Fishing has been fantastic at both the upper lake and the lower Conconully Reservoir," Gene Bussell of Liar's Cove Resort said. "Lots of rainbow and kokanee are being caught from the bank and trolling."
On Sunday evening, the fish were being caught on Red, White and Blue Power Nuggets, he said.
"Mic Jensen from Mount Vernon caught an 18-inch rainbow off of the lower bank," Bussell said. "Mike and Marvin Kjellesvik caught their limit trolling with wedding rings."
As of May 18, anglers can fish for and retain adipose fin clipped adult and jack spring Chinook salmon on the Icicle River in Chelan County.
The spring selective fishery season will run through July 31.
The area open for fishing is from the closure signs located 800 feet upstream of the mouth to 500 feet downstream of the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery Barrier Dam.
Veterans living outside Washington who've been disabled in the line of duty will find it cheaper and easier to hunt and fish in our state, thanks to a proposal sponsored by Rep. Shelly Short, R-Addy.
The legislation, House Bill 1192, will also begin the process of "reciprocity," making it cheaper for Washington's disabled veterans to hunt and fish in other states as well.
"This bill would allow veterans with disabilities in other states to qualify for reduced hunting and fishing license fees here in Washington," Short said. "It would also encourage reciprocity – that is, it would encourage other states to offer the same discounted license fees to our state's veterans. We have veterans with disabilities that would like to hunt and fish in other states; and wounded veterans from other states that would like to participate in those activities here in Washington. I think it's the least we can do for those who have sacrificed so much for our country."
Gov. Jay Inslee signed Short's bill into law on May 1. Constituents and veterans from Ferry County joined Short at the bill-signing ceremony.
How about those Bulldog soccer players?
Okanogan will be returning from Sumner this weekend with a state trophy after defying the odds to get there.
The Bulldogs, the No. 4 seed from District 6/7, blasted No. 1 seed District 4 Rochester, 8-0, in the opening round of state.
Rochester lost in the first round of the state playoffs for the third consecutive year. All four District 4 teams (Rochester, White Salmon, Hoquiam and Seton Catholic) fell in the first round.
That gave Okanogan home field for the next match, a thrilling 4-3 win over University Prep, the No. 3 team from District 1/2/3.
University Prep edged Hoquiam (No. 4 from District 4), 2-1, in the opening round of state.
Okanogan's win over Rochester was the first-ever in state play after losses in opening rounds the last two years – 2-1 to Wahluke in 2011 and 8-1 to Highland in 2012.
With the victory over University Prep, Okanogan is now 14-13 in for- and against-goals in state games.
For those already gearing up for fall high school football, there is a new blog site and report being produced by a name familiar to long-time small school followers – Dave Tuengel.
He is promoting his A & B Football Report, which will be on the 1A, 2B and 1B schools.
"I want to at least give people the opportunity to see what the A's and B's are doing statewide," Tuengel said.
His blog is at http://davetuengel.blogspot.com.
The blog currently lists a tentative roster for the East squad for the 19th Earl Barden Football Classic, set for Wednesday, June 19, at Earl Barden Field at East Valley High School, 1900 Beaudry Road, Yakima.
No players on the list of seniors are from Okanogan or Ferry counties.
Those from the Caribou Trail League shown in the blog include Quincy's Armando Tafoya, an offensive lineman and linebacker; Cashmere's Dylan Tarver, offensive lineman and defensive lineman, and Mahliek Roberts, running back and defensive back; and Cascade's Fabian Alvarez, wide receiver and defensive back, and Derek Darlington, offensive line and linebacker.
The Tonasket Flying Club will celebrate Father's Day with a Fly-in June 16 at the Tonasket Airport.
There will be a barbecue on Saturday. Pilots will be taking children on rides on Sunday morning.

Brentwood, Tenn. - On Monday, the Ohio Valley Conference named Tennessee State forward M.J. Rhett the conference's adidas® Player of the Week.
Rhett won the award after a career week that saw him shatter his previous highs in points, rebounds and blocks.
Against Tennessee Tech, Rhett was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field en route to tallying a career-high 15 points. He also recorded his first double-double in the 72-66 win with a team-high 11 rebounds and a career-high four blocks. Rhett also notched seven-straight points for the Tigers during a five-minute span.
Versus Jacksonville State, the Columbia, S.C. native recorded his second consecutive double-double with 10 points and a new career-high 16 boards. His inside presence allowed the Tigers to beat the Gamecocks on the boards, 47-28.
Rhett's nomination marks the first time in school history that TSU has had four Player of the Week winners during the same season. Robert Covington won the award on Dec. 3 and Dec. 17 while Patrick Miller was chosen just last week (Dec. 31).
The selection of Rhett is also the first time that TSU has had three different student-athletes take home the honor since Wayne Arnold (Dec. 19), Clarence Mathews (Jan. 23) and Kareem Grant (Jan. 30) were named during the course of the 2005-2006 season.
Tennessee State will look to keep its four-game win streak alive when the team hosts UT Martin on Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcasted on the OVC Digital Network.

From Boston, Massachusetts to Selma, Alabama and the Confederate Army
Now right from the start I want to make clear I don't really do alot of research into the military activities of my ancestors. It's not something that holds alot of interest for me. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of all my veteran ancestors but the military details... not so much. But Joshua Atwood Tilton, the subject of this post is a puzzle to me. He was indeed a veteran of the Civil War, enlisting less than thirty days after the shots fired at Ft. Sumter. What has me so puzzled is why he enlisted in the Confederate Army.
Joshua Atwood Tilton was born Feb 1, 1835 in Suffolk county, Massachusettes. He comes from a long line of New Englanders, both on his father's side, the Tiltons, and his mother's side, the Atwoods. These two families were some of the early founders of Massachusetts. Even as late as 1850 we find Joshua living with his parents and siblings in Boston. So why was he in Selma, Alabama in 1860? I don't find other family in the area so my guess: because of his occupation. He worked for the railroad. I surmise he had an employment opportunity and being a young, single man he took it. But that still doesn't explain why he would enlist in the Confederacy. I don't imagine I will ever know the answer to that question.
Joshua enlisted on May 10, 1862 in Selma, Alabama in Co. D, 8th Reg't of the Alabama Infantry. I have found part of his medical service record listing him as a private. It describes the gunshot wound and his subsequent medical discharge. Just two days after the battle of Antietam he was admitted to the hospital in Richmond, Virginia, Sept 19, 1862 to be treated for a gunshot wound to the right arm. Although I do not have his full service record I am making the assumption he participated in that battle and was one of the thousands of casualties.
Joshua was discharged on Oct 23, 1862 with the physician stating he was incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of "the effects of a gunshot wound in the lower third of the right arm. The flexor and extensor muscles are so much injured that it will be a long time before he will recover the use of it. I further declare my belief that said soldier is unfit for duty..". So thankfully, Joshua escaped the further ravages of the Civil War but whether or not he ever recovered the use of his right arm is unknown.
I do know he remained in the South. He married, probably in New Orleans, about 1865 to Lydia Marie Graham and his first child was born in 1867. By 1880 he and his family were living in Wilkinson county, Mississippi. Again I believe his choice of residence was influenced by his occupation; he continued to be a railroad engineer on the line from Centreville, Mississippi to New Orleans, until his retirement sometime in the late 1890's.

What a great family mystery, Jo. Maybe one day you will discover more info about your ancestor's motives. It sounds as tho he became a Southerner by choice, not birth.
Thanks for using the Almanac prompts; I'm glad to know you like them!

There's a fellow in my family tree who was also born in the Boston area, and his father was an abolitionist. He joined the Georgia Cavalry and wrote patriotic hymns for the confederacy. His name was James Lord Pierpont, and he was most famous for writing "Jingle Bells", after the sleigh races in his native Medford, Massachusetts.

Hi Jo! I'm leaving a comment that doesn't pertain to your post, with my apologies, but when I saw your last name, ARNSPIGER, I thought I just had to contact you.
Did some of your family come to Sumner County, Kansas?
I've been transcribing some copies of letters from John Arnspiger to his wife Mary Arnspiger who was living in Jersey County, Jerseyville, Illinois. Their son, Henry, came to Kansas and had land and farmed here.
I plan to post them when I get all three of them transcribed (writing is difficult to read and some so faded I'm going to have to enhance again w/photocopier to have any chance to read it.)
Let me know if they are family!

Seeing this a little late but my late father was Joshua Atwood Tilton iV. His father was born in Centerville and his grandfather fought for the confederacy in Alabama. I may be able to fill in some of the blanks for you as my aunt Nancy (dad's older sister) is still living.

Boris Said, the Cinderella Man
by Eric Johnson
It was a muggy early Summer Friday afternoon in Daytona Beach, Florida. An hour earlier, Boris Said had wheeled his Sobe/No Fear Energy Fusion Ford around the larger than life track that Bill France had built way back in 1959 at a lap of 186.143. Now, he just watched on as a substantially-sized field of cars fought for all they were worth to try and find their way into the 2006 Pepsi 400. One by one they went out, each Nextel Cup machine trying to scratch and claw their way up the black and electric yellow scoring pylon. But when all was said and done, it was #60 at the very top, the Bud Pole winner for the next evening's Pepsi 400.
Nobody could believe it. Not even Said. So thrown and,
understandably, out of sorts, the hardest working man in all of auto racing
— a man who would — and still will — drive anything anyone put before him —
needed a few security guards to direct him to the Bud Pole press conference.
You see he wasn't really sure where to go.
"Yeah," mused Said, "maybe we should just go home now." And he said it
half seriously.
"I guess I'm cautiously optimistic," answered Said of Old Faithful, his
still "at it" Ford Superspeedway car. "We have a great car. We're going to
go with a full qualifying setup to try and make the race. If we get in the
race, we'll spend the first half of it changing things on pit row. If we get
it, it'll be interesting as we'll have to be pretty creative with our pit

Fall Out Boy covering Ill Manors
A new track unveiled this morning. Sounds like some bizarre three way cross between Ill Manors, Nine Inch Nails and N-Sync.
Is it just me or is this a really fucking odd direction for a comeback album to take?
- urbanfox this'd this
i love this
so glad they're back
I kind of like it.
It just strikes me as pretty odd as most comeback albums normally retreat into the bands supposedly "classic" style.
tbf they were only ever 'away' for about 2 years
and by the end of their first stint they were turning out shit like this.
- oojimaflop this'd this
Technically it's covering/sampling "Alles neu" by Peter Fox
It's also horrendous.
well quite.
although i hope you're going to go on to say that Alles Neu is incredible
I'm a fan of it
but I think I prefer the video to the song. Plan B's remixing of the drums is far better and I like the edginess he gave the sound.
i kind of love Peter Fox precisely because he steers clear of edge
and the snare drums are kind of his trademark because they're from Berlin's Cold Steel group, and it ties back to his dancehall group Seeed.
That whole album is covered in those drums, actually, and is beautiful
I only know the track from a whole piece about Ill Manors and Shostakovich (sp?) and what that was about.
So I can't really comment beyond that.
I like this maximalist, play-ALL-the-styles approach.
I mean, I can't listen to it for long periods of time, but I like it.aactv this'd this
bit classic rock at times, isn't it?
i like that falsetto on the word 'phoenix' though
Looks like Patrick Stump donated all his extra weight to Pete Wentz
And that's really the most you can say about this.
Love the shots of Pete Wentz staring into the middle distance
like a dad who's forgotten where he parked.
Song's dire but the fat one sounds pretty cool - maybe he'll get taken more seriously going solo after this? In the past he's always projected that aura of your gf's none-threatening male friend.

Mark Joseph knows God can speak to a parent, even while touching the hearts of thousands of teens at a youth conference. The faith experience Joseph had while chaperoning a Steubenville Conference in 2006 helped bring him deeper into the Catholic Church and enabled him to better share his faith with his own children.
"There is nothing like seeing 2,200 kids on fire for the Lord," said Joseph, who is now executive director of Christian outreach for Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, the organization responsible for putting on the Steubenville Conferences. "It is an amazing experience. I felt strongly then, I feel strongly now ... that the speakers on that stage speak as much to me as a parent and adult as they do the kids."
In an era when many busy parents don't feel they know the Catholic faith well — or how to incorporate it into family life — some like Joseph are finding inspiration in what their children are learning.
As teens experience Christ through youth programs and conferences, they are sharing what they're learning with their parents, who may be hearing it for the first time. And parents seeking to deepen their faith and pass it onto their children are finding opportunities to learn and serve together with other members of their parishes.
While serving young people, youth ministry organizations are also reaching out to parents, both so they can support their kids and develop their own faith.
"In a certain way, if we as the Catholic Church want our young people to not only come alive in faith but maintain and grow in it, we have to be attentive to the family situations that they're going back to and doing what we can to help that family unit to come to faith," said Mark Berchem, founder and executive director of National Evangelization Teams (NET) Ministries, a West St. Paul, Minnesota-based ministry that sends young adult teams around the country to offer retreats for middle-schoolers.
These young missionaries, who learn in the ministry about their faith and how to share it, find opportunities with their own families and the families who host them, he said. "It's more like being a leaven, sharing your faith story, encouraging parents to be active, to take a little bit of spiritual leadership in the family and, where appropriate, get involved at the parish."
Since many parents stop receiving religious education at confirmation, some feel they lack the knowledge or tools to pass on the Faith, said Michael Theisen, director of membership services for the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), a Washington, D.C.-based organization that advocates for and supports Catholic youth ministry. "If the Church will accompany the parents along this journey and walk with them, then it becomes a whole different scenario," Theisen said.
When parents are engaged and interested in learning about the Faith, they want to seek answers, Theisen said. "What we're learning is parents really are yearning to have their children connect more deeply with the Faith."
Parents can learn more about the Faith and gain skills to connect it with their families' lives through the Strong Catholic Families (SCF) initiative, which was launched four years ago by NFCYM and other family and educational organizations, and now is used in 70 U.S. and Canadian dioceses.
Our Lady of the Woods Parish in Orland Park, Ill., introduced SCF more than two years ago and is one of 40 parishes in the Chicago archdiocese now implementing the program. The parish has involved families in service projects as well as in talks and other activities, said Colleen Walery, parish director of religious education.
She said she hopes the initiative, considered a way of life rather than a program, will encourage families to become involved in liturgies and parish activities and use it in passing on the Faith to their children.
"This isn't about filling our needs and filling our pews," Walery said. "It's about 'Where are the young families and what kind of help do they expect from their faith community, teaching people to pray with kids?'"
Another help for parents, Life Teen offers a retreat to help them grow in their personal faith, said Randy Raus, president and CEO of the ministry, launched in Mesa, Arizona, which offers youth programs in roughly 1,700 parishes. "It's a real powerful experience for them," he said. "In some cases, it's like a first encounter — a real first connection to faith that they've had in years."
The retreat is part of its parish ministry for parents of youth in Life Teen's middle- and high-school programs. It's important to help parents understand what's happening in their teens' lives, Raus said. "We found we can go a lot further with the parents coming alive in their faith than having the teen grow in their faith in a separate way."
In part to reach out to parents whose kids attend one of its 20 conferences held throughout the country each year, Steubenville Conferences plans to introduce tools for teens and parents to help them delve deeper into conference topics before and after the event, Joseph said.
"We want to be doing everything we can to bring people back into the Church, including the parents of the kids we serve, and if we can be successful by the grace of God in bringing some of those parents back, then they're going to do nothing but encourage their additional children," Joseph said.
Igniting parents' faith through involvement with their kids "really has a ripple effect on the entire parish," Raus said. "You have these families and adults getting more active in their faith."

Scott Keefe '10
Although Clarkson is well known for its rigorous academics, sometimes it's the experiences that students have outside the classroom that really set them apart in the job market.
Take electrical engineer Scott Keefe '10, for example. He says that his hands-on experiences with Clarkson's Zero-Emissions Electric Snowmobile (ESled) SPEED team had just as much impact on preparing him for the real world as his courses and labs did.
"My opportunity to be on the ESled team has really helped me at my current job as an electrical engineer at Hatch Engineering," he explains. "It was one of the best experiences I've ever had."
As a transfer student from Broome Community College, Scott was a member of the ESled team for the two years that he was at Clarkson. During his junior (and first) year on the ESled team, Scott was able to travel to Michigan Technical University and see the competition firsthand.
His senior year, Scott was the electrical engineering leader of the team, which placed second at the Michigan Tech competition and was asked by the National Science Foundation to bring their snowmobile to Summit Station, Greenland, for actual use in arctic atmospheric research operations.
"I was chosen to represent my team and Clarkson in Greenland shortly after graduation," explains Scott. "The researchers were so happy to get the snowmobile. I spent a week there, seeing how the research team used the snowmobile that my team and I built while collecting data for research. I doubt I'll ever get another chance like that in my life."

Spinach Ravoili
This is from the food network. I've made it a few times now and thought I'd pass it along....
They're great fried too.
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
2 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
48 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Freshly grated pecorino
Whisk the ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edge of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper in half, enclosing the filling completely and forming a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
Melt the butter in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the oregano and stir 1 minute. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
Working in batches, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the ravioli to a large shallow bowl.
Pour the oregano butter over the ravioli and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the pecorino over the ravioli and serve.
The most important thing I've learned over the years is that there is no way to be a perfect father but a million ways to be a good one.

Life-changing events, such as the death of a loved one, newly diagnosed health problems, and job loss, can happen at any age. However, as people age, these events become more common. Grief is a normal, healthy response to loss, but over time it can take a toll on emotional and mental health, and may even lead to depression. If you're a caregiver or if you spend time with an older adult, learn how to help your loved one cope with loss.
Learn about the grieving process.
Read "Grieving: Facing Illness, Death, and Other Losses" to learn about the common physical and emotional symptoms of grief. It's important to remember that there is no "right" way to grieve. Everyone is different, and every loss is different. Allow your loved one the time and space to grieve in his or her own way.
The most important thing you can do is listen. You might not know what to say to comfort your loved one. That's okay. Your loved one may just need someone to talk to about his or her feelings. If you're nervous or uncomfortable, try to remember the following tips:
Offer your help.
The feelings of grief and loss can be overwhelming and may make even small tasks seem draining. Don't wait for your loved one to ask for help. Instead, offer to make dinner, pick up some groceries or a prescription, or do some of the household chores. Your loved one is more likely to accept your help if you make a specific offer, instead of saying "Let me know how I can help."
Learn the warning signs of depression.
The symptoms of grief and the symptoms of depression are quite similar. While it's normal for a person to feel sad after a loss, the feelings associated with grief should be temporary. Your loved one may be depressed if:
- If your loved one is grieving the death of a friend or family member, don't be afraid to talk about the person who died. This may help your loved one feel less alone in the loss.
- Try to avoid saying things like, "I know how you feel," or, "It's all for the better." This minimizes your loved one's feelings and may make him or her withdraw. Remember, because the grieving process is different for every person, you probably do not know how your loved one is feeling. Instead, say things like, "I know this must be difficult," or, "You don't have to be so strong," to help draw out your loved one's feelings.
- Sometimes, just sitting with the person is enough. Your loved one may not want to talk, but he or she also may not want to be alone. It's okay to spend time together not talking.
- He or she doesn't begin to feel better as time passes
- His or her emotions start to get in the way of completing routine, daily tasks
- He or she no longer takes pleasure in favorite activities
- He or she mentions or has thoughts of suicide
If you notice any of these signs, talk to your loved one's family doctor. The doctor can help treat the depression so your loved one can start to feel better.

Summer jazz forecast for East Lansing: Increased blue notes, with an upswing in swing. Bebop will also be boppier.
National headliners Joe Lovano and Somi, quadrupled tent space and a third day of festivities will twist the ratchet another few notches for the 14th Summer Solstice Jazz Festival, set for June 18-20 in East Lansing.
Joe Lovano, arguably the top tenor saxman in jazz today, will bring his all-star Us Five group — the one with two drummers and 26-year-old phenomenon Esperanza Spalding on bass — for an afternoon Wharton Center performance Sunday, June 20, extending the festival to a third day and adding a venue.
The festival proper, held in downtown East Lansing, will feature polystylistic young vocalist Somi, one of jazz's most intriguing young vocalists. The emerging empress of a blend of African, Latin and jazz styles called New African Soul will sing Saturday night under a new tent nearly four times larger than the old one, according to East Lansing spokeswoman Ami Van Antwerp.
Taking their cue from a collaborative art form, a trio of entities — East Lansing, the Wharton Center and MSU's College of music — joined to put some fire under the festival in 2008.
The festival grew from one to two days, took advantage of Wharton's clout in snag ging national artists, and beefed up its slate with more of MSU's stellar jazz faculty and students.
Last year's appearances by Spalding at the East Lansing festival and at Wharton led indirectly to snagging the biggest fish of all: Lovano, a hard-driving, innovative tenor man who has conquered many facets of jazz, from small groups to big bands and symphonic projects.
Lovano needed to fill a blank spot in his schedule between a June 18 gig at Mears Park in Milwaukee and a June 24 Carnegie Hall birthday gala for pianist Herbie Hancock. After Spalding played the East Lansing festival last summer and Wharton last fall, she urged her agent, who also represents Lovano, to call Wharton.
Lovano's Wharton performance will be ticketed; the rest of the festival will be free to the public.
The two-day slate of local artists mines a broad crosssection of MSU and Michigan jazz talent.
Guitarist Neil Gordon, saxmen Diego Rivera and Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson, the neo-gypsy combo Hot Club of Detroit, Latin combos Los Gatos and Ritmo, bassist Sean Dobbins, vocalist Sunny Wilkinson and Rockelle Whitaker and pianist Rick Roe are all scheduled to perform, with MSU jazz student combos filling the air during set changes.
Van Antwerp estimated that 5,000 to 7,000 people attended the Summer Solstice festival last year. She said the city would like to see the festival grow into a three- or fourday indoor-outdoor cluster of jazz events.
Venues under consideration for future festivals are the nearby Valley Court stage and a black-box theater likely to be built as part of East Lansing's planned City Center II development.

This is a great idea. I make that bread recipe all the time, replacing the water with different beers. Even with 12oz of beer, the beer's flavor mostly bakes out, so I wouldn't worry much about hop particles or flavor in the tiny amount of yeast you'll be using. According to http://www.traditionaloven.com/conversions_of_measures/yeast_converter.html replace the 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast with 1/2 tsp of fresh yeast.
I have tried the aforementioned recipe subbing beer for water as well. I tried it with stout, but it didn't have the stout character I hoped for. I tried it with a hoppy beer and it was unpleasantly bitter. Can't remember where I read or heard it, but beer yeast is best suited for a slow rise dough, hence the dutch oven recipe. But I have had success reusing beer yeast for pizza dough.
Jeff Renner would be the expert, should the Batsignal be turned on?

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the bodys tissues.
Normally, red blood cells last for about 120 days before the body gets rid of them. In hemolytic anemia, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal.
Immune hemolytic anemia occurs when antibodies form against the bodys own red blood cells and destroy them, because the immune system mistakenly recognizes these blood cells as foreign.
Alternative Names
Anemia - immune hemolytic; Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Possible causes include:
- Certain chemicals, drugs,and toxins
- Infections
- Transfusion of blood from a donor with a blood type that does not match
The antibodies may also be caused by:
- Complication of another disease
- Past blood transfusions
- Pregnancy (if the babys blood type is different from the mothers)
Risk factors are related to the causes.
You may not have symptoms if the anemia is mild. If the problem develops slowly,symptoms that may occur first include:
- Feeling grumpy
- Feeling weak or tired more often than usual, or with exercise
- Headaches
- Problems concentrating or thinking
If the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
- Blue color to the whites of the eyes
- Brittle nails
- Light-headedness when you stand up
- Pale skin color(
pallor) Shortness of breath
- Sore tongue
Signs and tests
- Absolute
reticulocyte count
- Direct or indirect
Coombs test Hemoglobinin the urine LDH(level of this enzyme rises as a result of tissue damage) Red blood cell count(RBC), hemoglobin, and hematocrit
- Serum
- Serum free hemoglobin
Serum haptoglobin
The first treatment tried is usually a steroid medication, such as prednisone. If steroid medications do not improve the condition, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or removal of the spleen(
You may receive treatment to suppressyour immune system if you do not respond to steroids and splenectomy. Medications such as azathioprine (Imuran), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), and rituximab (Rituxan) have been used.
Blood transfusions are given with caution, because the blood may not be compatible and it may causemore red blood cell destruction.
Expectations (prognosis)
The disease may start quickly and be very serious, or it may remain mild and not need specific treatment.
In most people, steroids or splenectomy can control anemia. In others, treatment can usually partially control the anemia.
Severe anemia rarely leads to death. Severe infection may occur as a complication of treatment with steroids, other medications that suppress the immune system, or splenectomy, because these treatments impair the bodys ability to fight infection.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have unexplained fatigue or chest pain, or signs of infection.
Screening for antibodies in donated blood and in the recipient may prevent hemolytic anemia related to blood transfusions.

"Women for Religious Freedom" say these nuns. Protesters assemble outside the United States Supreme Court Building as the eight justices heard oral arguments in Zubik v. Burwell, a lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act, on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 in Washington D.C. Zubik v. Burwell questions whether religiously affiliated organizations like universities, hospitals and charities can be free from playing any role in providing their employees with contraceptive coverage, placing questions of religious liberty against a woman''s right to equal health-care access. The Little Sisters of the Poor, a global Roman Catholic order with its U.S. headquarters in Catonsville MD, joined with other religious groups in the case. (Photo by Jeff Malet)

Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday raised the estimate of New Jersey's costs of recovering and rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy to nearly $37 billion and said the state would seek federal aid to cover most of the expenses.
Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday raised the estimate of New Jersey's costs of recovering and rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy to nearly $37 billion and said the state would seek federal aid to cover most of the expenses.
Christie announced the revised total Wednesday to include $7.4 billion to cover mitigation, protection and prevention of future disasters. A preliminary total of $29.4 billion announced last week covers repairs and response. The total amount is greater than the state's entire yearly budget.
"My commitment to the people of New Jersey is to make steady progress in our recovery, and to know that three or six or 12 months from now I'll demand the same level of effort, attention and results from government as I have in the past 30 days," Christie said at a Statehouse news conference.
The Republican governor had announced Monday that he would seek re-election next year. He said he was motivated, in part, by a desire to continue to lead the state through the rebuilding phase after the hurricane.
Christie named a former U.S. attorney's office colleague, Marc Ferzan, to spearhead the state's recovery and rebuilding efforts. Ferzan, who is leaving the private sector to rejoin government, will be paid a Cabinet-level salary of $141,000. The administration also hired Witt Associates, the disaster management company founded by former Federal Emergency Management Agency director James Lee Witt.
Christie said more than 30,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or sustained structural damage during Sandy and that 42,000 buildings sustained lesser damage from the Oct. 30 storm. He said FEMA has distributed more than $500 million in aid so far; 230,000 New Jerseyans have registered for federal assistance.
In a broad breakdown of repair and response costs released late Wednesday, the governor's office placed $8.3 billion of those costs under the category of business, $5.5 billion under parks and environment, $4.9 billion under housing and over $3 billion under water, waste and sewer.
Earlier this week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked for $42 billion in federal aid — $32 billion for repairs and restoration and more than $9 billion to head off future disasters, including steps to protect the power grid and cellphone network.
Christie said it's now up to New Jersey's congressional delegation — made up of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats — to fight for the aid.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg met with congressional leaders in Washington on Wednesday to press the need for massive federal aid, finding a Congress reluctant to move quickly as it wrestles with the nation's budget crisis.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee that oversees disaster relief, said it would be "a hard sell," given tight budget constraints and conservative opposition to more government spending.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he expected a hard fight.
"We have a Congress that is decidedly less friendly to disaster aid than any in 100 years. We're in very strenuous negotiations over the fiscal cliff. We know money is short in Washington, just as it is in New York," he said.
Christie has said he expects the federal government to compensate New Jersey and New York the same as it provided aid to Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas after Hurricane Katrina.
Christie also said he and Cuomo have agreed not to compete with one another for federal funds.
"We're not going to allow any political forces in Washington, D.C., to divide and conquer us," Christie said. "We going to go down there as a team, we're going to work together and advocate for the numbers we put forward. These are realistic numbers that we need."
Associated Press writer Andrew Miga in Washington contributed to this report.

In the years 1905-1930, Paris is a magnet for international talent intent on overturning tradition in the arts of the West and defining modernism. Archival footage of Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copeland, Sylvia Beach and Marcel Duchamp reveals why the avant-garde art world chose Paris, augmented by letters, memoirs and recollections of witnesses. Intrepid art deals, young publishers at independent presses, and a visionary impresario at the Ballets Russes helped bring new art, literature and music to the public. G
