BOULDER, Colo.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVLS) announced today that it has set a date for a special meeting of its stockholders to vote on matters related to the proposed merger with Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc. ("Alpine").
The special meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m., Mountain time, on July 19, 2017, at the offices of Ballard Spahr LLP, 5480 Valmont Road, Suite 200, Boulder, Colorado 80301. Nivalis' stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 26, 2017, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting.

About Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc.
Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. (http://www.nivalis.com) is a pharmaceutical company that has historically been focused on the discovery and development of product candidates for patients with cystic fibrosis, or CF. The Company's development candidates selectively target an enzyme known as S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR). GSNOR regulates levels of an endogenous protein known as S-nitrosoglutathione, or GSNO. Depleted levels of GSNO have been associated with CF, asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases and certain cardiovascular diseases. Following recent disappointing results of a Phase 2 clinical trial of its lead product candidate, cavosonstat, in CF, Nivalis determined to not pursue the development of this compound in CF and to wind down its research and development activities while devoting its efforts to investigating and evaluating strategic alternatives.
About Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc.
Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc. was founded in 2015 and is focused on developing novel protein‐based immunotherapies using its proprietary variant immunoglobulin domain (vIgD™) platform technology. The vIgD platform is designed to interact with multiple targets, including many present in the immune synapse. Alpine's vIgDs are developed using a process known as directed evolution, which can produce proteins capable of either enhancing or diminishing an immune response and thereby may apply therapeutically to both oncology and inflammatory diseases. Alpine has also developed its transmembrane immunomodulatory protein (TIP™) technology, based on the vIgD platform, to enhance engineered cellular therapies. In October 2015, Alpine signed a worldwide research and license agreement with Kite Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:KITE) for up to $535 million in up front and potential milestone payments and in addition, royalties on resulting sales. The agreement allows Kite access to certain targets developed using Alpine's TIP™ platform. For more information visit www.alpineimmunesciences.com/.

The MRI technician career outlook is expected to be very good. MRI technician employment is expected to grow 9 percent from 2014 to 2024, which is faster than the average for all occupations. There were about 33,600 MRI technicians on the U.S. in 2014. Projected new additional job openings from 2014-2024 number about 3500.
There will be an increasing demand for MRI technicians as the population grows and ages. With age comes increased incidence of illness and injury, which often requires diagnostic imaging for diagnosis. For example, as the population grows older, there will be an increase in medical conditions, such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease, which require imaging as a tool for making diagnoses. MRI techs will be needed to maintain and operate MRI scanners. This will be tempered somewhat by encouragement to use less-costly, noninvasive imaging technologies, such as ultrasound.
The MRI technician outlook is also expected to improve as a result of federal health legislation to expand the number of patients who have access to health insurance, increasing patient access to medical care. Job openings also will arise from the need to replace technicians who leave the occupation.
Hospitals will remain the principal employer of MRI technicians. However, a number of new jobs will be in physicians' offices and in outpatient imaging centers. This is due to an expected shift toward outpatient care whenever possible. Outpatient care is encouraged by third-party payers as a cost-saving measure.

The Wizard of Osbourne is a parody bit based off The Wizard of Oz.
Bo Selecta
The Wizard of Osbourne was recorded for a British comedy show Christmas special called " A Bear's Christmas Tail" which is based off a British comdey show called "Bo Selecta" which is a celebrity rubber-face comedy on Channel 4. They would have many celebrities on there and they would look nothing like them. In the special they had Craig David as The Chinman (Tin Woodman) Mel B as the Cowardly Lioness (Cowardly Lion) Jack Osbourne as the Scarecrow and Michael Jackson as Dorotay (Dorothy). All the rubber-faced celebrities are portrayed by Leigh Francis
Once one of the character's of the show turns the televison channel, it goes to the The Wizard of Osbourne which to him is the original film. In the clip Dorotay (Michael Jackson) walking with the Chinman (Craig David) and the Cowardly Lioness (Mel B), the latter says something that annoys the Chinman so he sets off on his own leaving her and Dorotay behind. So Dorotay askes a Scarecrow (Jack Osbourne) where to go to get to the Osbournes. He greets him (Shamone Scarecrow) and he greets back (Shamone Michael). But he tells him to call him Dorotay like this movie. So this proves it is a possible parody movie.

Home > About Mercy Health System > News > 2011 > Long Time Physician Donates 50k to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital
Published on February 11, 2011
Darby, PA (February 11, 2011) - A retired physician, who practiced in Delaware County for fifty years, presented a $50,000 check to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital (MFH) officials during a room dedication ceremony at the hospital yesterday.
Norman N. Cohen, MD, a gastroenterologist, was honored for his long-time service to the patients and medical community at MFH.
The hospital re-named the auditorium in its Medical Science Building the Norman N. Cohen Auditorium. The multi-purpose auditorium is used for medical education conferences, administrative and community meetings and celebratory gatherings.
"How appropriate is it for the room that have held so many different memories for people to now bear the name of a man who has meant so many different things to those around him," said Kathryn Conallen, interim chief executive officer of MFH. "Dr. Cohen was a fixture in these rooms and his legacy of service will continue with the generous gift he has made to support the programs and services for the community he long served."
Over the course of his career, Cohen treated tens of thousands of patients. He held various positions at MFH including Chairman of Medicine, Chief of Gastroenterology, President of the Medical Staff and Founder of the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program. He spent many days in the auditorium, lecturing to the medical students and residents and attending numerous events throughout the years.
"What you don't realize is that this is all possible because of you," Cohen said to the more than 100 attendees, including his family, former students and hospital physicians and staff. "You made this fun everyday and for that I thank you."
Dr. Cohen (seated) is surrounded by his GI Fellows and former secretary during the room dedication.

Not long after September 11, 2001, Cormac McCarthy and his young son John took a trip to El Paso, Texas, and checked into a hotel. Finding himself at the window in the early morning hours, McCarthy imagined what the city would look like in fifty or one hundred years. An apocalyptic vision came to mind – fires in the hills and the city laid to waste – and McCarthy wrote a few pages of notes that, several years later, became the basis for The Road (McCarthy Interview). A novel about a father's love for his son in a destroyed world, The Road was published in 2006, spent considerable time on the bestseller lists, and garnered a Pulitzer Prize in 2007. It also enjoyed the so-called "Oprah effect" after McCarthy …

Polarstern expedition ARK-XXIII/1
Bremerhaven - Longyearbyen
12 June 2008 - 2 July 2008
Chief scientist: Dr. Gereon Budéus
The first leg of the 23rd "Polarstern" expedition to the Arctic starts on 12 June 2008. The ship will be heading directly to the east Greenland coast and enter ice-covered waters between Jan Mayen and the Greenland coast. Geodatic work on Greenland will be the first research activities. GPS receivers will be installed on land with the use of helicopters. The receivers determine the vertical movement of the land masses which are caused by the decreasing ice load. The instruments need a measuring period of some weeks and will be recovered during the next cruise leg.
After the geodetic work a hydrographic transect across the Greenland gyre will be performed. This transect extends from the Greenland coast to Bear Island. It is interrupted by the exchange of autonomously profiling deep sea moorings and a shallow water profiling mooring which is specifically designed to assess the fresh water introduction into the gyre.
While the hydrographic investigations use water from the full ocean depth, proxy validation studies by sampling of foraminifera and coccolithophores use the ship's sea water supply to gain on track samples across the main frontal system.
Moreover, observations concerning the distribution of higher trophic levels (seabirds and marine mammals) will be carried out along the ship's entire pathway. The distribution of these animals is also dependent on climatic changes, in particular with respect to the changing size of ice covered areas. The distribution of certain whale species in the North Atlantic has already shown a marked modification which results from the reduced ice cover in the Arctic.
Teacher will be aboard Polarstern
Gaining insights into the global climate system is not the only objective of the International Polar Year. Involving the public, specifically the young generation, in ongoing research and provision of extensive information are central goals. For this reason, the teacher Henning Pulz will be aboard Polarstern. He will be actively involved in the expedition research, allowing him to communicate his insights via internet to his students.

THE performance of sugar mills has shown significant improvement with more than 700,000 tonnes of cane crushed so far, says Sugar Cane Growers Council CEO Sundresh Chetty.
He said the council was happy with the sugar production so far.
"There has been good sugar production and the weather has been favourable as well," he said.
"We would like to encourage farmers to take advantage of this good weather and deliver fresh green cane to the mills."
He also said while crushing had been good, concerns were still being raised on the issue of cane burning.
"It is easier for fire to spread to cane farms because of dry conditions and this poses a threat to infrastructure."

We went cruising through the French Quarter after dinner tonight and figured out that it's only 4 miles from our house. Ray Ray visited a church there yesterday (I felt yucky & stayed home). We think that the French Quarter might become our new Sunday afternoon hang out. No, not for the beer and the girls — they only come out at night. Well, I'm sure you can find them in the day, but it's less obvious. Instead, there's all kinds of music, arts, and food.

Today, the day after Thanksgiving, is known as Black Friday because it is the official start of the Christmas shopping season and retailers across the country are expecting to be raking in huge sales volumes and profits.
This photo taken from outside the Apple Cube structure on 5th Avenue between 59th and 60th Street shows the crowd inside the underground store. The new iPod nanos are on sale (today only) for US$136.
So have you bought anything at a sale recently?

As Mass Tourism Heats Up...Locals Feel The Lure Of GraftCarol Livingston
Our guide says: "I call this the disco road," as the car bounces and jounces across the holes on Cambodia's Route 6. The rutted highway winds 300 kilometers from the capital, Phnom Penh, through electric-green rice paddies and impoverished villages to the Angkor archeological complex in Cambodia's northwestern Siem Reap province.
Route 6 may be a mess, but tourism to Angkor and its 1,000-year-old temples is booming after a 30-year hiatus that ended in 1998, when the last of the murderous Khmer Rouge rebels gave up and a degree of political stability returned.
For now, Siem Reap is still one of the unspoiled wonders of Asia. Travelers landing at the airport can snap pictures of water buffalo grazing only yards from the runway apron. Containing both Buddhist and Hindu architecture, Angkor is a religious destination as well as an archeological wonderland. Mysterious stone faces and carvings of fisherfolk, kings, gods, and courtesans stare down at visitors, while brilliantly colored butterflies and exotic birds swoop by. The chanting of orange-robed monks with shaven heads often fills the air. Scattered across a Manhattan- size area, the ruins are in part surrounded by jungle, while those in the midst of villages are festooned with foil, flags, and incense sticks.
This idyll won't last: The number of tourists arriving in Cambodia has doubled in the past two years and should rise an additional 50% this year. More than 1 million visitors to the temples alone are projected for 2005. At least 11 new hotels are under construction.
"Last year, there were no tourists in the low season [May to October]. This year, August looks the same as the high season," says Sokun Men, who runs Goldenways tour agency, which supplies tourists with cars, guides, and hotel accommodations. A key factor is the "open skies" policy declared last year by Prime Minister Hun Sen. In the past, foreign tourists had to fly to Siem Reap via Phnom Penh, usually staying overnight in the capital. Now, direct flights to Siem Reap come each day from Thailand and Vietnam. An increase in intra-Asian travel brings many visitors from southern China and Japan. More flights are planned this fall from Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.
STOLEN BUDDHAS. There's much to see. Angkor Wat (wat means "temple") is the world's largest religious structure, and 70 other temples are listed as World Monuments by the U.N. But this is just a fraction of the historic treasures. "Two students of mine updated the old inventory of temples for their thesis work. In two of the province's six districts alone, they realized there were over 600 ruins," says Ang Choulean, director of a government preservationist agency.
Theft is a big problem in a country as poor as Cambodia. Although guards at the ruins have been increased, antiquities are still regularly smuggled out for sale in Bangkok or overseas. At one temple, a teacher and several local women complained that three Buddhas had been stolen. "This never happened before," Choulean laments. "But now there are many people coming here from all over Cambodia, so there is no homogeneity. The natural social controls have been lost."
So who benefits from the tourist boom? Entrepreneurs with pull do best. Sokimex Co., an oil company that has connections with the Prime Minister's office, was granted the right to run the ticket concession, for example. The military brass also does well, with many generals pursuing riches as hotel and restaurant investors.
Property grabs by the powerful are common. "Before, I lived inside the wall," says Srei Sopheap, pointing to a construction barricade behind her thatched shack. There, she had paid the former owner $150 for a plot just big enough for a small house, but when that owner lost title to a better-connected businessperson, Sopheap lost her land, title, and investment. "I heard it's to be a hotel," says Chom Pon, Sopheap's neighbor, who had also lost her land and money and hopes for a construction job at the hotel at 75 cents a day.
Corruption is prevalent at all levels. Even the white-haired widows demurely pressing their palms together on the stone floors of some temples are said to pay off army or police officers for the right to beg. The countryside may be healing from war, but healing isn't always a pretty sight.

VISIONS IN SPACE, Flute & Bassoon & Pianoforte
The Program Notes for the Piano Trio are as follows:
Visions-I The Acidic Rains of Venus - 1:00 Visions-2 The Frozen Lands of Andromeda - 1:30 Visions-3 The Dancing Asteroids - 1:30 Visions-4 Pleasures in Space Travel 1:30 Visions-5 The Rivers of Earth - 2:30
Combining the forces of chance or unpredictability with moments of predictable structure, the 5-movement 'Vision of Space' has manifested. The unpredictable elements concern quasi-random pitch selection, duration, degrees of intensity and distribution in time. One result of this compositional approach is that tonality gets sidelined in preference of atonality.
Essentially, tonality is a particular expression of the general principles of relaxation of tension. This is a particular 'sound' state that implies or demands resolution. Harmonically, the fundamental expression of tonality is the tonic/dominant relationship. When the harmonic underpinnings of a composition can be considered a derivative of this relationship or principle, in whole or part, for a short or long time, the music is considered tonal. Atonality then, refer to compositions in which the composer deliberately banishes tonality and admits all other tonal permutations as well as preserving the observable gestalts, musical syllogism, if you will or syntax.
The first 4 movements of the piano trio, (with bassoon substituting for the original bass clarinet version) were written in 1983 as part of my DMA docket of compositions. The work was premiered at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati that same year. It is dedicated to my illustrious composition professor, the late Prof Jonathan D. Krammer. The 5th movement was composed in February 2002.
The work as a whole shows economy and extreme concentration that reflects the minimalistic approach to composition. Expressions that could be dramatized over, say, 30 minutes are now summed up in a minute or so, with all units of syntactic structure appropriately and proportionally represented. The subtitle "Visions of Space" suggests a programmatic dimension. But they were appended after the fact, however, which makes them no less suggestive.

or do you just want to take cheap shots.
In recent years, the exploits of hedge funders have been seen in Greece, Argentina, USA, UK, Iceland (a novel approach was adopted by the people of Iceland, towards these leeches). These hedge funds specialize in buying up "distressed" assets and commodities such as grain and pushing the respective governments or industries into taking on a level of debt they can't afford under predatory rates and conditions imposed by the hedge fund managers. At the same time, these hedge fund groups are lobbying governments to not allow any declaration of bankruptcy, as doing so would cut into their profits, hence we see more debt loaded on to countries and bank bailouts funded from the public purse, to infact bailout hedge funders. This results in recession and austerity.....sound familiar? But its OK, the hedge funders will be making a fortune whilst others suffer as a direct result of their actions. The next wave of hedge fund inspired recession is about to take place, but don't worry too much, the hedge funders will be fine.......These 'types' are not people that I can countenance.
I can't really make it any more clear that that, is that OK for you dear.
i think you are looking at a bigger problem tbh and its not quite as simple as you think. if you really felt as you do then why not cut ties with your bank who are more likely to be the hedge funds your actually on about. in fact why bother with football as barclays are probably top of that list.
i think you are using it as an excuse because they are american or sacked kenny tbh.
I am a member of a credit union, left me bank a while ago.
Nothing to do with them being American, nothing at all, I spend a significant amount of time in the US, my son was born in the US and so is a citizen.
Sacking Kenny, well, it wasn't good, but it was a while ago now, I mean 2 managers ago!!! I am not that obsessive!!!
Our fans are mad. FSG bail us out the **** (only interested party to produce proof of funds when needed) Pump a further c.£300m into LFC and write half of it off! Build us the new stand and they are looking into doing the Anfield road end up. We now dont have any significant debt and will be spenind a huge amlount this summer on new players but some fans STILL hate them.
On the flip side Evertons owners wouldn't even buy the land for their new stadium (£22.2m) and had to lend £60m off the Chinese to buy new players putting them in more debt but he's all of a sudden the best thing since sliced bread!
You can portray these guys as saints with your ignorance a you want. But their 7 years as owners is on record.
Whether FSG are owners of this club for the next 3 years or the next 30 years, the manner in which they sacked Kenny Dalglish will be a stain on their ownership forever.
The stand represents 125 mil debt, which we will be paying off for the next 6-7 years, the Rd End would represent .....maybe 80-100 mil debt, that we will also have to pay back to FSG, so, don't lets pretend that we are debt free, both stands (if the Rd End ever gets done, which I doubt) will put is approx 200 mil in debt, on infrastructure alone. Put another way, LFC will not benefit financially from the new stand(s) for the duration of JKs tenure. As for hate....grow up, we don't know these people and never will.
Not even the slightest interest in what the blue sihte do.
It was the right decision to sack Kenny.
Ticket prices again they were in the wrong.
Their first choice manager after Kenny was Klopp but he stayed loyal to Dortmund. Rodgers seemed the best option at the time, and let's not pretend he's not one of the best in the world at talking the talk. The committee is linked in with Rodgers as he refused to work with a DoF. Also if it wasn't for one literal slip, you wouldn't be calling him a bogus appointment.
Chang - you'll have to explain mate, no idea about that.
Showing up at Anfield once or twice a season - well no ****, they live across the Atlantic.
At the end of the day you can accuse BWM for ignorance but it's a bit hypocritical when you're just as ignorant yourself when discussing FSG. There is allowed to be a middle ground, and that's pretty much where they are.
ripped fans off by charging locals £9 a ticket? we have the cheapest match day ticket in the league right now, what FSG tried to do was charge more for better seats and less for seats in the corners and outside edges, like the German clubs do! it wasn't increasing the CPS. I dont think it was such a bad Idea, all the tickets in the Kop were being reduced, now they have stayed the same.
FSG are the owners who live in America, they dont need to be here week in week out, they employ people to run LFC for them. Yes they have made mistakes in personal but it didn't take them long to rectify it.
You can say what you want but they have been very good owners, it could have been so much worse.
Spurs are about to be in £800m debt for their stadium, Everton maybe the same WITH INTEREST. £200m interest free is better than we could have ever got before for a c.60,000 stadium.
To moan about our owners you have to compare them to other owners. FSG are in this to make money, isn't everyone? we go to work to make money, we dont do it for free because we love the job. Why should John Henry be any different?
First - Kenny sacked, you say was the right decision - let me remind you, he got to 2 finals in his first full season, sound familiar - and won one. Apparently, his failure was not getting top 4, that is why he was sacked, cups don't matter- we were told!!!!. We would be changing manager very frequently indeed if that was the criteria.
Rodgers - disaster, set the club back years
Tickets- HA, a new fiasco is unfolding right now
Chang - HA
Showing up - something called commitment.
Broughton said that there were other interested parties. Indeed Broughton did not want to sell to FSG, he said that the only good thing about them is that they exist, he suggested that going with FSG was scraping the bottom of the barrel, I suppose he hates them as well like!!
I'm surd John Henry wishes he could have done things different but that is no reason to hopd a grudge still 5 years later and if the king himself has the class to not be arsed about it us fans should follow suit.

text: No to The 40 Percent Plan As the President of Blue Devils United, I strongly oppose The 40 Percent Plan. I do not, as some might claim, seek to convey the message that BDU does not trust students to make their own decisions. Instead, we fear the confusion and competition that would accompany the implementation of The 40 Percent Plan. Every day that BDU would spend campaigning for student funds at the beginning of each semester, seeking to publicize and differentiate ourselves from the hundreds of other student groups, is a day lost to advocacy. Our organization serves to better the lives of Duke students by providing a safe space both ideologically and socially, spreading awareness of LGBTQ issues and fostering social environments that promote acceptance and unify members of our demographic. It is alarming that this novel funding process, essentially a popularity contest, may hurt groups like BDU whose members' identities are often stigmatized on this campus. Moreover, The 40 Percent Plan asserts that small and minority student groups will all have sufficient funding for programming, but it provides no means by which to enforce such a guarantee. This is a tremendous issue for Blue Devils United, as our group annually plans and hosts major campus events such as the Lavender Ball and the Drag Show. The institution of The 40 Percent Plan would threaten our ability to meet the cost of these events, despite their importance to fostering an inclusive campus community. The likelihood that The 40 Percent Plan would destabilize BDU's ability to serve marginalized members of our campus is of utmost worry. My opposition to The 40 Percent Plan does not indicate my lack of faith in the power of student agency. It is this agency that has allowed groups like BDU to form and serve as a voice for historically marginalized groups on this campus. In short, I am concerned that The 40 Percent Plan would severely compromise the equitable status of LGBTQ and other underrepresented students on this campus.

(See the main Occupy the Highway blog for the latest news on the march.)
The photo captures a distressed Dorli Rainey, who is 84 and less than five feet tall, just after she was pepper sprayed at Occupy Seattle Tuesday. Seattle Police responded to upset protest organizers by saying pepper spray "is not age specific. No more dangerous to someone who is 10 than someone who is 80."
Police from Oakland to New York have been for months perceived as working against the Occupy movement. But less-reported is that there are many officers who feel the opposite, because as Oakland police officer Fred Shavies pointed out last week: "I'm part of the 99 percent."
At Zuccotti Park yesterday, a retired Philadelphia police officer showed up to show solidarity with the protesters, arriving in his full police chief uniform. The unnamed officer, who said he now works as a farmer, told protesters he came because "soulless people should not be in power" and "this was too important not to show up for."
Police officers still on the force have showed their support, too. Along the two-week-long Occupy march from New York to D.C., which is ongoing, a police patrol car trailed at a close distance in nearly every town through which the marchers passed. At first, the marchers were certain the police were there to keep an eye on them, and wait for the right time to make an arrest. Before the protesters reached their first resting stop at a couchsurfer-volunteered house in Elizabeth, N.J., local police interrogated the man who owned the house, Ken Londono, about the purpose of the march. Londono says he told them: "The protesters just walked 18 miles. You think they are going to come to my house and have Burning Man in the backyard?"
But in the more than 100 miles that protesters marched in the next five days, police failed to make any arrests. Instead, officers emerged from their cars only to help marchers with directions or guide them to a less dangerous route. "We're here for protection," officers in each of the towns told them. When the marchers entered the particularly dangerous neighborhood of Frankfort in north Philadelphia, the police officer asked them to not stop for breaks until they'd made it through.
At the Occupy Philadelphia camp, police officer Joe Shookla said of the protesters, who have been camping in front of City Hall for almost a month and a half: "They haven't caused us any problems. And we aren't going to do anything unless they cause problems, except make sure they're safe."
But the marchers walking from New York to D.C. have been peaceful, unlike some of the Occupy campsites, which may explain the unequivocal police support.
Marcher Michael Glazer, who was located at Occupy Wall Street before the march, says that police are sometimes supportive until violence breaks out. Glazer cites an incident from Zuccotti Park in which a McDonald's employee, who had been kind enough to let protesters continuously use the bathroom, was punched by a protester. Glazer says a New York officer turned to him then and said, "Occupy is over. I've supported this until now. But Occupy isn't like it was when it began."

Hello, I am looking for information on my great-great-grandfather and his family.His name was Sigmund N. Levy, as he signed it on his daughter Hannah's marriage certificate in 1883.His name is listed as Sigismund Levy in the 1880 census from Manhattan, NY, and as Sigmund Levy in the 1870 census from Manhattan.His birth year was 1828, 1829, or 1830, as calculated from the ages recorded in the 1870 and 1880 census records, and both censusses record his birthplace as Hamburg (in Germany, not NY).My grandmother used to say that he came from Alsace-Lorraine in France.Our family history records show his name as Seymour S. Levee.
He lived in Buffalo, NY when my great grandfather was born on 13 Mar 1864, and when Hannah Levy was born in 1865.My great grandfather's name is listed as Leon Levy in the 1870 census, and Leo Levy in the 1880 census.He moved to Toronto, where he married Martha Hughes of Streetsville, Ontario on 12 Oct 1887.However, the name on his marriage certificate, and the only name our family ever knew until recently, was Louis Spencer Levee.He was elected President of the Toronto Board of Education in 1912.He and Martha moved to Buffalo, NY, later in the decade, where they lived for many years with my grandparents.He died in Little Rock, Arkansas on 19 Nov 1953, and she died in St. Petersburg, FL on 4 Mar 1947.Louis and Martha had 6 children, all with the surname of Levee:Louis Edward (1888), Ernest Frank (1891), William James (1892), Irene Martha Marie (1893), Lorna Eulalie (1901 - my grandmother), and Clarence Hughes (1902).
Sigmund Levy had 6 children, according to the 1880 census, all with the surname of Levy:Leo (1862 or 1863 according to the census, but all other records say 1864 was his birth year); Hannah (1864 or 1865); Otto (1869 or 1870); Bertha (1871 or 1872); Isadore (1873 or 1874), and Jenny (1875 or 1876).
Hannah married George Von Hofe on 11 Aug 1883 in New York, NY.They later moved to South Orange, NJ.Hannah and George had 3 children: Emma M. (b.1885, later married William J. Fuller, she died 1977); Frederick H. (b.1891, d. 1977 - he became a doctor in NJ after graduating from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and married Dorothy, who died about 1996 at the age of 99), and George D. Von Hofe, Jr. (b.1893, d. 1972).
Hannah's marriage certificate lists her mother's name as Mary Hoehn, but Mary was not listed as a witness to the marriage certificate, which would be consistent with our family's oral history, which says that she died in childbirth when Otto was born in Buffalo in 1869.Our family records have her name as Marie Haehm.The family story is that Sigmund remarried, but his new wife was cruel to the children.A nursemaid ran off with Otto when he was quite young to protect him.The story says that his siblings lost touch with him.Hannah and possibly some of her other siblings searched for Otto about 50 years later, and were able to locate him.There was a joyful reunion that was written up in the newspaper.I do not know which newspaper, or when the reunion occurred, but would love to find out.
Interestingly, there is a Mary Hoehn listed in the 1871 Canadian Census in Ontario.She was born in 1830 in Germany.This would make her about the same age with a similar ethnic background as Sigmund.I do not know if this is the same Mary Hoehn who was Hannah's mother, but I am seeking information on Mary and her family.
I have no information on Otto, Bertha, Isadore, or Jenny, but would appreciate any information you might have.Thank you.

AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia has defended his team as their title push stumbles.
Roma have won only two of their last eight matches, having won the first 10 in a row, and are now eight points adrift of Serie A leaders Juventus.
Garcia said: "Nothing has stopped working, it's just that the 10 consecutive victories were extraordinary. We cannot compare the first part of the season to the second, as after that we were without Francesco Totti, Gervinho and others for long periods. You can make statistics say anything.
"It was very important to get back to winning ways in the Coppa Italia against Sampdoria on Thursday, we achieved that, so now we must continue along that path. It's a good sign that we create many scoring opportunities, though obviously it'd be better if we took more of them.
"If we reach the midway stage of the season with 44 points, it'd be a great result. It's the kind of tally worthy of a Scudetto contender and above all Champions League qualifiers, which is our real target."

Increasing dependence on chemicals and rapid developments in chemical technology have practically triggered the growth of chemical industries in India. Globally, Basel convention guidelines are available for transboundary movement of hazardous wastes. However, at the national levels, health damage, resources losses and ecological impairment due to hazardous wastes indiscriminate discharges are a reality. In India, there are over 16,000 units of big and small Pharmaceutical industries alone. Quantities of hazardous effluents vary, distillery's effluent for example is reported to be over 8 million liters per day in India (Bio-energy,1996). Now, as a departure from conventional approach, based on improved performance target of industries for reasons of global market and ISO certification 14001 and also aggravated public demands, hazardous industries have been forced to take up waste minimization and recycling of treated effluents.
Conventionally, Plant systems are well suited to monitor potential impacts due to hazardous effluents in simulated conditions to document environmental changes. The present paper report the analysis of cytological effects of effluent from distillery and pharmaceutical plants at industrial estates near the city of Mysore, S. India. Root tip cells of onion (Allium cepa L.) constitute an excellent system for studying cytological tests like toxicity and mutagenecity. Analysis of the effluent reaching the receiving streams showed TDS TSS, COD BOD at levels higher than the recommended permissible limits. The study reveals that biological indicators for performance evaluation of effluent's treatment are simpler, rapid and complimentary to conventional physio-chemical methods.
Key words : Biological monitoring, recycling effluents, hazardous industries, Allium tests.

Re: Sibley Family in Grafton, Lorain Co., OH
In reply to:
Sibley Family in Grafton, Lorain Co., OH
Carolyn Wells 1/28/07
Hi Carolyn,
Sometime in the middle of the 19th century, a Mrs. Harriet I. Nesbett wrote a brief history of the early settlement of Grafton. The Nesbett family were early settlers of the area. Mrs. Nesbett's history of settlement was published in an 1879 History of Lorain County. Perhaps she wrote the article expressly for the 1879 History, or perhaps at an earlier time, but, in any event, she was credited with the written article. Both the Sibley family and Franklin Wells are mentioned by her.
According to the history, the Stephen Sibley family arrived from Massachusetts in the 1816/1817 time frame. The family consisted of Stephen Sibley, his wife, and five grown children. The children were sons John, George, and Giles, and daughters Nancy and Mary.
A year or so later, Franklin Wells, also from Massachusetts, arrived. Initially, he taught school in Grafton, was elected Justice of the Peace, and became an Associate Judge in Lorain County. He married Mary Sibley in 1823.
Stephen Sibley's death occurred in the spring of 1829, at about age 70. Prior to his death, his son in law, Franklin Wells had assumed the care of the homestead.
The above info would seem to clearly indicate that Mary Sibley's father was Stephen Sibley. A clue to her mother's name can be located at the Ohio GenWeb site for Lorain County:
If you look under the heading "Cemeteries" you will find transcriptions from most of the cemeteries in Lorain County. In the Belden or Old Grafton Cemetery, can be found a couple of Mary Sibley's brothers, and her mother Jemima. The stone is inscribed, Jemima Sibley, wife of Stephen, died January 1,1836, age 80.
Additionally, someone has posted a family tree on the internet for Mary Newton Wells, who was a daughter of Franklin Wells, and Mary Sibley. The info given for Franklin and Mary agrees with the info included in the 1879 Lorain County History --- but also takes both families back several more generations. Accuracy of any info posted on the net without validation is always suspect, but the info seems well researched, and is at least a good starting point. The site is;
Hope this helps. Good luck --- Richard

O.J. Mayo: Best Possible Destinations for Talented SGJuly 15, 2012
NBA free agency is off and running, but there are still plenty of big names left on the board. One of those big names is O.J. Mayo.
According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Mayo is receiving interest from several teams.
Free agent G OJ Mayo getting interest from Lakers, Chicago, Phoenix and Dallas and hopes to make decision in next 10 days, source tells Y!— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 14, 2012
Here are the three best destinations for his services.
Los Angeles Lakers
Playing in Los Angeles would give Mayo a great opportunity of winning an NBA championship. He would possibly push Los Angeles over the top (win a championship) especially with the newly acquired Steve Nash.
However, Mayo would have to be willing to eat some shots with Kobe Bryant's need of the ball. Playing with Nash will help some, but there are so many weapons around, Mayo might be lost in the mix which may be something he's not interested with.
If Mayo wants a ring, wants to play with a great point guard and wants to play in a larger city, Los Angeles would be a great destination.
Dallas Mavericks
If Mayo wants to play alongside a superstar (Dirk Nowitzki) while being the top-dog in the backcourt, Dallas is his answer.
Jason Kidd and Jason Terry are gone and the backcourt is decimated. Mayo will step in and be asked to score on a consistent basis to take the pressure off of Nowitzki.
Would that interest Mayo? Or does he not want to play for a team that took a major step backwards this offseason?
Time will tell.
Chicago Bulls
Mayo's best fit would be in Chicago. He would play alongside a superstar in Derrick Rose on a team that plays unbelievable defense and is constantly in the running to win a championship.
Chicago needs an All-Star type of shooting guard and Mayo is just that. During his first two seasons in the league, Mayo averaged 18.5 and 17.5 points per game.
He has since dropped down to 12.6 but he's still only 24 years old. Mayo could easily return to his All-Star form.
If Mayo ended up in a Bulls uniform, Chicago would be my pick to win the Eastern Conference assuming Rose is healthy at the end of the season.

The most primitive known chordates have no hard skeleton at all. Some of
the urochordates (sea squirts, etc.) have tiny mineralized spicules.
Conodont animals have mineralized teeth, but no other hard parts; there is
some change in the formation of the teeth over time (from simpler to more
complex). The earliest known fish, on the other hand, have mineralized
scales but no internal hard skeleton. A cartilaginous internal skeleton
may have preceeded the fully bony one of most vertebrates, as many
primitive fish have mostly cartilaginous skeletons, but it could be
secondary. There are also skeletal transitions between fins and legs,
jawbones and earbones, etc.
The presence of scales and feathers in modern birds is not very strong
evidence for the transition. I mentioned it simply because of Huse's
ill-informed claim. Early fossil birds have teeth, a long bony tail,
claws, growth lines in the bone, a poorly keeled breastbone, and many other
similarities to advanced archosaurian reptiles not present in modern birds,
but they have feathers, flight, and other features of modern birds. This is
better evidence for transition.
There are two reasons why I think common descent is a better explanation
than common design, not by descent. (God was in control of the descent, so
it is designed, despite the denials of atheists and antievolutionists).
The first is the presence of transitional forms, which are not necessary
for de novo design. Secondly, the relative similarity between organisms is
consistent across many unrelated features. I don't see any reason why
design, when not operating through "natural" means, would not combine some
features of one organism and some of another in ways not easily explained
by convergent evolution.

BERKELEY — Jason Kidd says not now, not yet, almost certainly not after this season and probably not even next season.
Retire? How could he abandon the stage that is and always has been his coziest home? Why would he, even while bracing for his 40th birthday, turn his back on the lifestyle he has earned to drift ever so cautiously into the great unknown?
If the basketball court was Kidd's personal retreat during boyhood in the East Bay, it has been his movable sanctuary as an adult. So he will delay, for as long as he can, his reluctant entrance into the petrifying uncertainty of life without hoops.
"I signed a three-year deal, never thinking about how long I want to play," Kidd says. "I'll go until my mind and body come to agreement that we have to move on. There are some days when the mind is tired but the body feels good. There are days when the body doesn't feel good but the mind says, `let's go.' They haven't come to agreement."
Conceding there are nights when he feels 30 but mornings when he feels 50, Kidd on Monday night joined his New York Knicks teammates to face the Warriors on the court at Oracle Arena, a place as familiar to Kidd as any member of the home team.
The arena off 66th Avenue is where Kidd evolved from the subject of local buzz to full national legend, being featured in Sports Illustrated at a time when kids rarely rated such lofty status.
Oracle, then known as the Coliseum Arena, Kidd's house while at St. Joseph High in Alameda, where he led the Pilots to consecutive state championships, and remained his place during two years at Cal, which made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances — including a trip to the Sweet Sixteen during Jason's freshman season.
All of which provided the backdrop for Kidd to hold a news conference to declare himself eligible for the 1994 NBA Draft. He shed tears that day, many tears, partly because his then-coach, Todd Bozeman, was sobbing.
Mostly, though, Kidd wept because he was leaving his family, that which reared him and that which watched him grow up. This was his farewell to the Bay Area.
Though he was at Cal to receive an award presented by the school's African American Studies Department, Kidd has spent the past 19 years mostly as a familial visitor, a friend among the enemy, wearing the jerseys of five NBA teams. He was drafted by Dallas, traded to Phoenix, then to New Jersey and back to Dallas — where he won a championship ring in 2011 — before landing as a free agent in New York last summer.
The 6-foot-4 point guard, a 10-time All-Star, also has worn a sixth jersey, that of USA basketball, in which he has won two Olympics gold medals and compiled a 56-0 record.
Kidd's career, historically and statistically, presents excessive credentials for the Hall of Fame: No. 2 all-time in assists and steals, No. 3 in triple-doubles and 3-pointers made. Kidd is the only player to amass 17,000 points, 12,000 assists and 8,000 rebounds.
"There is a checklist when you get drafted," Kidd says. "You want to be an All-Star and be mentioned as one of the best. Then you want to be the assists leader, and be among the best in triple-doubles. And as you get older, you keep adding to the list.
" . . . I don't know if there's anything I haven't seen in basketball. I've seen a whole lot of ups and downs to get where I'm regarded as one of the best. And now I'm coming off the bench. It's all humbling. I've been blessed. It's been exciting."
We have watched, up close and from a distance, Kidd's trials and tribulations and triumphs, the international perfection and NBA pinnacle and even those regrettable moments that remind us there can be many layers of complexity to such a life.
Another such moment occurred last July. Nearly 12 years after undergoing counseling after a domestic abuse incident with his first wife, Joumana, Jason was found passed out in his Cadillac Escalade, which had come to a stop at the base of a tree, and arrested in a New York suburb for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
"Clearly, it was a mistake and I owned up to it," he says. "It happened and I'll have to learn from it. We all make mistakes, some aren't public and some are. The most important thing, I hope, is that I learn and that, hopefully, others learn from my mistake."
Kidd, whose birthday is March 23, has recovered to spend the season as a trusted lieutenant of Knicks coach Mike Woodson. Jason has started and he has come off the bench. He has, over the course of 60 games, defended every position except center.
After pushing Dallas to the championship two years ago with his postseason defense on Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, there was the older, slower but still incredibly crafty Kidd last week again facing Durant.
"All you can do," he says, lifting his eyebrows, "is hold your breath."
