In order to get my database to fit on a CD (since I was trying to use them up), I had to export a GEDCOM of my database to include only my paternal grandfather's side of the family. It was a little tricky to get just the part of the database that I wanted.
- Select File from the menu, then select Export.
- Check which pieces of your database you want to include (notes, sources, addresses, etc.) At this point you can also privatize living people.
- At the top, you will see a drop down box. It will say Everyone by default. Choose select from list to choose just those individuals that you want.
- A new box with a list of everyone in your database will appear. You can choose them from memory or select one person and choose people linked to them. I chose my grandfather, then clicked the "Mark people" button. Choose "Ancestors of highlighted person." Here you can choose direct ancestors, ancestors and their children or collateral lines. I chose "ancestors and their children" because that includes my ancestors, their siblings and their sibling's spouses. (Which is about all that's in my database. You could also choose collateral lines if you want all of the cousins.) Then I clicked the "Mark People" button again with my grandfather selected and chose "Descendants of highlighted person" then chose "Descendants and Spouses".
- Choose a name and place to save the new GEDCOM.
It sounds more confusing than it is. Play around with it for a little while and you will start to see who gets connected with each option.
Tomorrow I will post about my own impressions with the shareable CD that I created and later will post about my dad's impressions when I give it to him.

Comments about Mens Brooks Infiniti III Lined Shorts:
I am an avid runner and the first time I put these on and used them, I was amazed. So light weight that it felt like I wasn't wearing anything. It hits on the upper thigh just right without catching that it doesn't constrict and the openings are great for easy movement. I really like the side design, very fashionable and the pocket in the back is great for keys and my iPod

Franklin County commissioners said they will proceed with the demolition of the Franklin County Veterans Memorial, despite a last-ditch effort by a veterans group to save the facility.
Franklin County commissioners said they will proceed with the demolition of the Franklin County Veterans Memorial, despite a last-ditch effort by a veterans group to save the facility.
A group calling itself Taxpayers and Veterans for Saving Vets Memorial has submitted a document to the commissioners rebuking their decision to raze the memorial and replace it with the Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum, which is expected to open in 2016.
"Until the wrecking ball comes crashing through the wall, we'll be fighting to keep it," said Bernie Brogan, a member of the taxpayers and veterans group and commander of American Legion Post 532, 1571 Demorest Road.
The document, dated June 12, calls into question the wisdom of replacing Vets with a "smaller memorial offering none of the flexibility and uses provided by the current facility."
"The Franklin County commissioners are proceeding to do this without the approval of the Franklin County voters and over the objections of the veterans, veterans' groups, organizations and the general public who benefit from the use of this facility," the Taxpayers and Veterans group argues in the document.
Commissioner John O'Grady had told ThisWeek Community News the 60-year-old Veterans Memorial facility is simply outdated and was in need of $10 million in repairs.
Also, the building has often lost money or barely broke even for several years, he said.
The new memorial, meanwhile, will be a statewide draw and a testament to the sacrifices soldiers have made to the country, O'Grady had said.
Taxpayers and Veterans maintains the facility did make a profit in 2011 and 2012, and contributes to the economic vitality of the area.
"I do believe that if they used the thing as they had in the past, use it to its full potential, it would be a money-maker," Brogan said.
Veterans also feel spurned by the decision to tear down the facility, he said, because they will be forced to participate in services in two locations instead of one.
In addition, the Franklin County Veterans Service Commission, which is located inside the current Veterans Memorial, essentially was forced to move to unattractive accommodations on Broad Street with no on-site parking.
"It's very inconvenient," Brogan said. "It's just a slap in the face."
The commission did consent to the move after other office options were presented.
Hannah Greer, spokeswoman for the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, said plans are proceeding for the demolition.
Greer, who said she hadn't seen the document from Taxpayers and Veterans, said there's little chance the commissioners will reverse their decision.
"The property is already in contract and we're moving forward with plans to develop an Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum on the Scioto Peninsula north of Broad Street," Greer said.
Franklin County has committed $3 million for its construction and $2.6 million for the Vets Memorial demolition.
Limited Brands founder Leslie H. Wexner and his wife, Abigail, have contributed $25 million toward the new facility's construction. Another $15 million came from the state.
The new memorial and museum are part of an overall plan to revitalize the 56-acre Scioto Peninsula, which would also include retail and residential redevelopment.
A proposed tax increase by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, part of which would have contributed to building Downtown Adventure, a new satellite zoo on the peninsula, was defeated by voters at the May ballot.
The satellite zoo facility was to be a key piece in the redevelopment plans.
The last events will be held in Veterans Memorial on July 31. Environmental abatement and clean-up efforts will begin this fall and demolition should start at the end of the year.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) – Eau Claire County has received an $825,000 settlement after suing a company for what the county calls "untrue, deceptive, and misleading representations."
The county announced the settlement on Wednesday.
It signed on with Softscape so that the company would create a Human Services Information System. The county says the system would integrate case management software with the county and comply with a federal privacy law. The county paid Softscape $160,000. Later, it sued Softscape for the money it had paid plus damages.
Two separate appeals were made. Those decisions ended up in the county's favor. Softscape appealed of the decisions to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It wouldn't take the case.
The county says replacement of its aging Human Services Information System has been delayed by at least seven years.
We contacted Sumtotal, which says it has since acquired Softscape. A spokesperson told us she would get back to us, but we haven't heard from her so far.

Smiles and giggles abound, intersperced with the splashing and direction. Young Otters swimmers are enjoying the workout in the invitingly warm and humid Estes Park Aquatic Center on Wednesday.
"I love swimming for two hours," offers 11-year-old Abby Lemirande.
The swimmers of the Estes Park Otters Swim Club range in age from nine to 17, and have given plenty of good swimmers the chance to get better.
"It allowed me to qualify for bigger meets against better swimmers in better pools," says former Ladycat swimmer, record-holder and assistant high school coach Lauran Hewson. "It makes you step out of the small pond and realize there are lots of swimmers who are as good as you are."
Hewson's father, long-time Estes Park High School coach Sam Hewson, is credited with starting the Otters program. He wanted to give more swimmers from this small mountain town the chance to compete at a higher level.
"I think Sam started this close to 30 years ago," offers swim club board member Bill Walters.
Walters estimates that the club graduates 20-25 swimmers each year. That's close to 700 boys and girls who have passed through the program.
"If (high school) kids swim year-round, they come into there season in swim shape," explains Walters.
Walters explains that while the Otters feed the high school and middle school programs, the same programs help the Otters, as well.
"The high school kids volunteer at our meets and we run the score board at their meet," says Walters. "The best thing is how we help each other."
While the athletes swim, Walters and others scurry around carrying water, sports drinks and food from the back of a truck into the Aquatic Center ahead of Saturday's swim meet.
On Saturday, January 19 and Sunday, January 20, the Estes Park Otter host the annual High Altitude Classic swim meet at the Estes Park Aquatic Center. Morning sessions begin at 9 a.m., while the afternoon sessions begin at 1 p.m.

MOUNT VERNON, Wash., May 23 (UPI) -- The Skagit River Bridge in Skagit County, Wash., collapsed Thursday, sending the north and southbound lanes of Interstate 5 into the water, police said.
People and vehicles were in the water, KIRO-TV, Seattle, quoted Washington State Patrol officials as saying.
The bridge, between south of Burlington and north of Mount Vernon, collapsed just after 7 p.m., the TV station said.
The Skagit River Bridge is one of 156 state-owned bridges classified as structurally deficient as of Sept. 1, 2011, state Transportation Department records indicate.
Drivers were cautioned to find alternate routes.

The Invisible War
series: Independent Lens
air date: 5/13/13 9:00 PM
This documentary investigates one of America's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem -- today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. Among all active-duty female soldiers, 20 percent are sexually assaulted. Female soldiers aged 18 to 21 accounted for more than half of the victims.
WARNING: Email reminders for this program have already been sent out. Your reminder may not reach the intended address in time for this program's airing.

There are already polls gauging sentiment for the 2016 Presidential Election.
Hilary Clinton seems to be leading in Iowa for the Dems. If Romney doesn't win in 2012 and is not a candidate in 2016, Huckabee is leading in Iowa in terms of favorability and is tied with Santorum for who Republicans in Iowa would like to see on the GOP ticket.
Too soon?

"I am a middle-aged gay libertarian Conservative, living in dignified isolation in rural Eastern Ontario, Canada"
I am a fat, lonely, untraveled, un educated, self loathing gay hick Philistine, whose political understanding of the world was aborted in its infancy.
There i fixed that for you! You're welcome.
I can't let that by without a response, so in the interest of intellectual dialogue about the eternal truths of art, here it goes:
Dear Lars:
I noticed that you cleverly extrapolated from my brief statement about being a middle-aged gay conservative living in rural Canada that I'm a "fat, lonely, un educated [sic], self loathing gay hick Philistine". I'm going to return the favour and hazard a few guesses about your background from the brief clues that you've given me in your comment.
You are presumably annoyed by the fact that I didn't like the sculpture Survival of the Fattest that was on display during the COP 15 conference in your beautiful country (which, despite you accusing me of being untraveled, I have had the pleasure of visiting). I take it that you sympathize with the piece's political message about the "rich world's self-complacent righteousness". I presume, then, that you are in your late twenties or early thirties, spent six or seven years studying for a four-year degree in sociology (or perhaps psychology) at some liberal-arts college, and are still hanging around your parents' basement until you get your shit together and pay off your student loans (or do you even have to pay back student loans over there in the worker's paradise of Scandinavia?). In the meantime, you and Sven and Ingrid have put together an anarcho-latin-punk band and are working as barristas at the Ringsted Starbucks while you are perpetually "between gigs".
You accused me of being "untraveled", and you should know since you yourself bought a Eurail pass and backpacked around Europe when you finally got out of college, hooking up with loose women of questionable hygiene while making fun of American tourists. You were thinking of heading to Nepal on a whim to sample the organic shade-grown fair trade hash but met up with a bisexual performance artist/waitress in Amsterdam and spent a month in a squat with your lips permanently attached to a bong. When you emerged from the haze you had a dose of penicillin-resistant gonorrhea and your Eurail pass was gone, so it was back to mummy and daddy.You say I'm a "self loathing gay hick", which makes me wonder if you have some issues about your own sexual identity. You are resolutely and flamboyantly straight, but some of your best friends are gay, and there was that one time in college when you and your room-mate Peter got wasted on 'shrooms and, well, one thing led to another. The fact that your mother & father wonder why you've never had a steady girlfriend doesn't mean anything - you're probably just not ready to settle down.You know, you took that course in "race, gender & class stereotypes in post-colonial Danish literature", but you still seem to harbour some deep-seated animosity towards the "other" - let's take a look at the semiotics of your brief comment. Middle-aged = fat. Rural Canadian = lonely untraveled Philistine hick. Gay = self loathing. Jesus, Lars - get a grip! I think you need to take a night-school course in Marxism and the LGBT Barrista Experience to refresh your left-wing bona fides. Maybe between gigs you can organize a protest against the Danish occupation of Greenland or something - your karma definitely needs adjusting.Thanks for taking the time to write - I always enjoy intelligent dialogue with my readers. Aside from that, how did you like the sculpture?Regards

Men's Tennis Picks Up Longwood Transfer Warren Bryan
Related Links
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG men's tennis head coach Thomas Mozur announced the addition of Longwood transfer Warren Bryan (Greensboro, N.C./The Early College at Guilford) to the 2014-15 roster.
"Warren brings good size and a great work ethic to the Spartans men's tennis team," said Mozur. "I am looking forward to developing Warren's game to new heights."
Bryan played one season at Longwood at the No. 4 singles and No. 3 doubles positions. He finished 6-12 overall with a 3-5 conference record in singles play. In high school, Bryan played four years of tennis for The Early College at Guilford and was named Team MVP for the 2010/2013 seasons. According to tennisrecruiting.net, he was ranked No. 8 in North Carolina and No. 53 in the southeast.
The Spartans are coming off back-to-back 14 win seasons, including a semifinal appearance in the Southern Conference tournament this past year dropping a tough 4-3 match to second-seeded Furman. UNCG also went undefeated at the UNCG tennis courts for the second year in a row.

North Country Officially Welcomes Cheerleading Back into the Fold
NEWPORT–It is official. Cheerleading is making it's long awaited return to North Country Union High. After their second meeting on Tuesday, Head Coach Danielle Gage and Athletic Director Mike Kiser both confirmed the team's status as active."We are going to be cheering at the football games on the 30th and the the 21st (of October) and if there is a play-off game we will be there too," said Coach Gage.Kiser was equally enthusiastic about the reformation of the team saying, "We are glad to have the program back, and and anything we can do to get student athletes involved is a good thing." The idea of starting the program back up came from Gage's daughter Victoria, who missed the sport that she had been active in for many years."She did competitive cheer when we lived in Orange County California, and she really was itching to be cheering again. Everybody needs cheering, it goes hand in hand with football."So between Tori, myself, and my other daughter Shelbi we all sat down and said 'lets make this happen', and so we have."The process of making sure all her kids are eligible and have the correct paperwork in has been relatively easy for Gage."Everything has been good so far. Everybody is eligible. We have really been wanting to get this thing going so I have been on everyone. If we are going to cheer, we have to go now."The team of fifteen has been meeting regularly for about a month now trying to iron out details as well as work on fundraising.Generating funds is a crucial part of the team's existence as they will be a club level team and therefor will not be receiving any money from the school.The girls have already held a car wash, done two bakes sales, and received a generous donation from an incoming restaurateur. Next up on the fundraising docket will be a bottle drive this Saturday with the drop off point being at Gage's Awsom Gymnastic studio at 565 Union St. in Newport."There is nothing in the budget, so we are going to have to everything ourselves. We have about $1,400.00 we've raised so far. To outfit everybody it will cost about 140 dollars per girl, and that is before any other expenses."If the team does well at the club level and generates continued interest, North Country's AD could see it get back to varsity status in as soon as a year."They will not be varsity this year, which means they will not be able to compete at the state meet, but they will be at the football, basketball, and possibly some of the hockey games. If the program takes off, then we can put together a competition team."As it stands, the coaching staff still needs to get certified in a few areas that will allow the team to perform more elaborate routines, but for now they will perform what Kiser describes as more "traditional, ground based routines."The team will call Awsom Gymnastics home for at least this year, and they will rehearse 3 days a week after school, maybe more, as the year moves along."It is a year long commitment, so going into the next year we will have try-outs right before school lets out, maybe have a summer camp, and then it will be a year long process," said the coach.Gage also hopes to start a youth squad that can perform at Junior Falcon games before transitioning into the junior high program at NCUJHS.In the short term the girls will continue to work towards their debut on the 30th of September, and looking long term, becoming a full varsity program is their ultimate goal.

ERROR: Macro DefaultArticleHeader is missing!
If you were watching the national real estate scene this week, you would have noticed the huge blow-up in Phoenix over a real estate reporter's article about how she "dumped" one agent for another and thought it worked out great. Oops.
The article was somewhat on track as she talked about how the first agent did not know the neighborhoods she was interested in, and that she and her husband changed agents after some lack of energy on the first agent's part.
The new agent seemed conscientious and knowledgeable. Then the wheels start to come off the story.
The new agent engaged in behaviors that aroused the ire of the Arizona (and national) real estate community by seemingly breaking a number of ethical rules while working on behalf of the reporter. The couple did get a home, but the negotiations were marred by apparent collusion between their agent and the listing agent (who was from the same office).
I think in the end most of the specific charges against the agent were over the top. A follow-up blog post written by the reporter (a real estate reporter even) attempted to clarify that no unethical things had occurred.
The moral of the story, in my mind, is that this second agent probably thought that getting a write-up from a reporter was a good thing -- until the actual story came out.
Hopefully all the allegations and craziness get resolved in an orderly fashion. I can certainly say, though, that if it were me, I would have preferred no press. For a change!

If this is supposed to help heal my wounds,
it's failing.
Three weeks now
Was it?
Three weeks or so.
She broke up with me
And then you moved.
She upped and left me
So did you.
What's worse?
The pain of her absence
Or the fact that yours hurts me less?
You're my father
What a bother
That we should be closer, and
Get together more.
Charlotte, North Carolina
600 miles away
I'm here in Fowlerville, Michigan.
Fowlerville, Michigan,
One and a half miles away
She's stuck with me, here to stay
Stuck by me
To trouble me so
With heartache, longing
Crap to my soul.
One and a half miles away
Her heart is still right by mine
Even as she pulls away
I feel this love, still; deep, divine.
Why does she pull?
Why does she pull away?
What is best for us both?
I still yet disagree
That a break-up is what's best
For her
And me.
What is best for me?
Moving on is more troublesome
Then if I were to just let me be;
Then if I were to just linger,
Your moving should be making this harder.
Barely, Father.
Still, I am drained only by the absence of her touch.
Her hand in mine…
Her lips on mine…
Her willing loving heart, loving so divine
Necessary To me,
Is her breath
Breathing in mine as I breathe in hers, too,
Faces close
Lovers closer
Closer than the beautiful petals to their stem
The stem to his leaves
Or its roots.
"She is essential to my being,"
My happiness is aware
And he also knows that he would not exist
If she were never there.
If she leaves, forever,
I'm alone in this world.
Where is she?
What of when she said I was all that could make her happy?
What about when she told me that the thought of life without me
Just made her sick?
What about those times when I felt that she was neglecting me
Only to learn that that thought was pissing her off
Because, in all truth,
She was actually only trying to get me
To follow her off?
Somewhere in some other land
Our brains would always be.
In a great, fun adventure,
With no girl would I rather be.
With no girl would I rather be.

Blitz Kuchen, which translates to Lightening Cake, is a German recipe. Was it given that name because it's quick to make, because it disappears as quick as lightening, or for some other reason? I don't know if Gramma's recipe came from her German in-laws or if she had neighbors with German traditions. The cake looks very much like some of our American coffee cakes.
Ginger BreadBelow is my immediate family's favorite gingerbread recipe. My daughter found it in our local newspaper when she was about ten. For a school assignment she was asked to double a recipe and when I received a copy from her, I didn't realize it had been doubled. We had a lot of gingerbread to eat. This recipe has a wonderful mix of spices and, unlike most gingerbreads, is moist. (The recipe below is the single version.)
1 cup Sugar.
1 " lard.
2 eggs.
2 teaspoon ginger
pinch of Salt.
1 cup Molasses.
2 teaspoon Soda.
1 cup milk or Coffee
4 cups flour.
Blitz Kuchen
3/4 cups Sugar.
butter size of egg
one cup milk
1 teaspoon Baking P.

cream butter, sugar
then, add egg, milk
& finally flour
with B.P. Sprinkle over
top with one half
cup nuts 1/2 cup
Sugar. 1 teaspoon
cinamon, bake
[tattered lower edge unreadable]
Mount Vernon GingerbreadThis gingerbread recipe is almost as good as chocolate.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup light molasses
In a separate bowl, mix:
2 3/4 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
Mix in a measuring cup:
3/4 c. buttermilk or sour milk
1/4 c. orange juice
Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk/juice mixture to the butter/sugar/molasses mixture, stirring after each addition.
Lightly beat:
2 eggs. Add to above mixture, folding in gently.
Bake in a greased and floured 8: x 8" pan in a 350 degree oven.
How long? No times are noted on the recipe card but probably at least 30 minutes or longer, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enes Kanter says his house in Utah is haunted
Utah Jazz fan favorite Enes Kanter gave an entertaining interview to Kyle Gunther of 1320 KFAN in Salt Lake City on Wednesday. Kanter touched on many funny topics such as his absurd diet, his bucket list, and his rookie hazing experience. The 2011 No. 3 overall draft pick also told Gunther that his home in Utah is haunted.
Kanter says he rented a big house in Salt Lake City and that he's experienced many strange incidents there recently.
Kanter says that two weeks ago he was sleeping in his home when he woke up and heard someone say, "Hey Enes." The strange part is he says he was alone. He says he then heard a car start.
Five days ago, Kanter says he was sleeping and his lights went on in his room. He says he had a friend sleeping downstairs in the house, so he figured it was his buddy messing with him. When he went downstairs to check on his buddy, he found his friend asleep. Kanter says the lights upstairs were also turning on and off even though nobody was up there. Kanter says he then went back upstairs and found his closet light on. Worried about what was going on, Kanter later had his buddy check the lights in the house who said they were fine.
Then last night, Kanter says he woke up around 4:30 in the morning after hearing creaking noises in the house and lights going off. He heard a door shut and texted his friend to ask if he was doing it. The friend said no.
The belief that the house is haunted has left Kanter perplexed. Gunther suggested that he call the Ghostbusters to come fix the issue.
Those weren't the only funny stories Kanter told.
The Jazz big man says that ever since he did "The Worm" in October, women have been approaching him everywhere to show him how to do it better.
Kanter also talked about some of the rookie hazing he experienced last season. He said the hazing was "so childish" like guys putting whipped cream on his face while he was sleeping, and hiding his phone. He left out a story we covered in March about being blocked from eating fried chicken.
As you could imagine, Kanter's bucket list is pretty awesome. He says he'd like to be a pro wrestler after basketball. He also listed going to the moon, bungee jumping, parachuting, and bull riding as activities on his bucket list.
You can call Kanter crazy for thinking his house is haunted, but he's not the first athlete to make such a claim.
Below you can hear Kanter's entire interview with Gunther:

PLYMOUTH — A team from Plymouth State University's MBA program earned a second place award for a Specialized Report in the 2014 National Small Business Institute® Project of the Year Competition.
The award-winning entry was produced by three PSU students for Comptus, a Thornton, N.H. firm that designs and manufactures environmental sensors. Comptus is owned by PSU alumnus Andrew White, who earned an MBA from PSU in 2009 and won a first place national award in the SBI competition that year.
"The SBI competition is the highlight of the MBA program; it's real-life application of what you're learning in the MBA program," White said.
Michael Tentnowski, SBI Director and Business professor at PSU, said Plymouth State's SBI program is one of the nation's finest and the accolades are proof of that.
"Following in the footsteps of Master SBI Director Craig Zamzow, this is a wonderful achievement for the graduate students, PSU, and New Hampshire companies," Tentnowski said. "I was honored to receive the award on behalf of the students and to continue in the tradition of PSU's national SBI award-winning ways."
White says MBA students Kin Beardwood Smith, Ashley Andersen and Samuel Kamau produced a comprehensive marketing report for Comptus and the results have worked well.
"They highlighted key areas we needed to focus on as a business, to position ourselves for growth; we redeveloped our website and we will do additional branding and market analysis –I review the report on a regular basis," said White.
Since 1976, Plymouth State students have won dozens of statewide, regional, and national awards in SBI competitions. Recent Small Business Institute®awards include:
- National First Place
(2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 1999)
- National Second Place
(2013, 2010, 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000)
- National Third Place (2008, 2006)
- National Fourth Place (2004)
- Showcase Award for Best SBI Program (2003)

I'm huntin' asteeroids.
Any technology that can promise to shoot Bruce Willis into space one day is worth pursuing.
(Just get Steve Buscemi back please.)
Suppose it spots something on a crash course for the Earth, what next? All that will happen is that we know something is heading our way. Bruce Willis is too old to go up to space!
Can we send Bush and Cheney with him? Everybody has to die someday right...
Oh come on, they shipped Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner into space together, so surely Bruce Willis could still go up. Hell, Robert Duvall managed to get his geriatric ass up there and blow up most of a comet and save Earth!
I think it's pretty clear that the answer to our future space emergency needs is to send up senior citizens.
Suppose it spots something on a crash course for the Earth, what next? All that will happen is that we know something is heading our way. Bruce Willis is too old to go up to space!
Ask Chuck Norris do a couple of push ups...
They are NOT looking for objects on a "crash course for Earth". The article stated that they were looking for asteroids whose orbits lie ENTIRELY WITHIN the Earth's orbit. IF the asteroid's orbit does not cross the Earth's orbit then only those satellites whose orbits are tangent to the Earth's orbit or within 3,800 miles will impact the Earth. I suspect that the number of asteroids with those orbital parameters are so small as to be nearly non-existent.
The real question is why are they looking for aster
Once the satellite is equipped with a gun, it can shoot the big asteroids into two smaller ones, and each of those asteroids into two even smaller ones. Hitting the smallest ones will make them disappear.
Scientists have released an interactive computer simulation [goriya.com] demonstrating how the new system would work.
"Tiny Satellite Set To Hunt Asteroids"
Canadian Scientists' next project?
"Giant Space Hockey Stick"
I'd say its more likely that the space junk detection bit will be more useful in the short term, since it'll need a whole lot more then this to stop another one like the Tunguska impactor.
What we need is a way of finding and clearing out the near earth orbitting man made crap so we can reliably place constellations of satellites in orbit, and open up commercial travel.
I want to see active asteroid mining taking place, and for that we need clear skies. Hundreds of ships going up and down a day will mean its absolutely required.
The bigger question is: How do we clean it up?
Large clouds of nano tube mesh netting launched into orbit that would catch the smaller bits. Larger bits would need specially designed retrieval craft.
Mod me OT but I just can't take it....
it'll need a whole lot more then this to stop another one
A whole lot more then
Do you mean that the impact will be greater now then then?
Will it be greater then or less then...

Actually most of the Ham radio microsat's are way WAY smaller than that behemoth.
Maybe they will soon figure out how to etch a telescope on a circuit board
You probably can already do this with radio telescopy, using arrays of fractal antennas. However, the processing power required might be somewhat excessive for current satellite applications.
We do also have super cheap camera-on-a-chip type stuff, I mean that's what's in an optical mouse for example. And now there are these electrowetting zoom lenses. So maybe you could put an array of those into a satellite, and do some kind of cheaper processing magic (or just send all the data to earth) and do some usefu
I'd be surprised if there was not a shocking number of lethal-to-all-life-on-earth sized rocks that almost hit us on a regular basis.

If you missed Activision's pre-E3 Call of Duty: Ghosts live stream, you may still be wondering why everyone is fawning over "the dog." Riley (the canine companion who made his debut during the Xbox One reveal) is an invaluable member of your small team. The extended trailer below shows why.
Riley can stealthily prowl around enemies, picking off lone guards one by one. He's also used in some of the set piece moments that the franchise is known for, as you'll see at the end of the video. Be sure to also read our coverage from E3 2013.
Call of Duty: Ghosts arrives for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on November 5, 2013. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will come later.

At this point I think the Silk Road brand is pretty dead, especially since it's no secret that there are other similar marketplaces to be found on Tor. Not to mention that some of those are attracting a lot of former Silk Road vendors, and with the vendors come the customers.
If Silk Road makes good on their promises, they will have a track record of adding some guaranty to their market and that added safety will make them a better choice than the other markets.

It is unlikely anyone involved, at this point, is putting all their eggs in one basket, and they would be crazy to do so. High risk atmospheres are not for people who need steady and dependable.

Please forgive my ignorance, as I've never had a need to buy contraband online, but why does Silk Road hold users' Bitcoins? My understanding was that the point of Bitcoin was ostensibly to enable users to send and receive money without going through a payment processing entity.

Ravens running back Willis McGahee returned to his Baltimore home Monday after spending the night in a Pittsburgh hospital recovering from a helmet-to-helmet hit in the AFC championship game against the Steelers.
McGahee was carted from the field on a stretcher Sunday after
colliding with Steelers safety Ryan Clark. The play occurred in the
fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 23-14 victory.
Although he had significant neck pain, McGahee had movement in
his arms and legs after the hit. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian
Hospital in Pittsburgh and held overnight for observation.
McGahee was released early Monday morning and back in Baltimore
home by early afternoon.
"It is expected that Willis will have a complete recovery from
the head and neck injuries he suffered last night," Ravens
spokesman Kevin Byrne said.
McGahee had just caught a pass and taken two steps before being
met by Clark, who drove his helmet into McGahee's facemask.
McGahee's head snapped back, and he lost the ball as he dropped to
the ground.
Clark also collapsed, though it was immediately apparent that
his injury wasn't serious.
Players from both teams gathered around McGahee, who lay
motionless before being taken away.
"I started getting a little emotional when I saw him down there
and the cart was coming out. That's the nature of this rivalry,"
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said after the game.
Starting at tailback in place of the banged up Le'Ron McClain,
McGahee ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns.

pg_jruby 0.14.1.rc1-java
This is a native implementation of the Postsgres protocol written entirely in Java. The project was started by @headius as a ruby-pg replacement for JRuby that uses the JDBC driver and private API of Postgres. Unfortunately ruby-pg (which uses libpq under the hood) exposed a lot of features of Postgres that were impossible to implement or were complicated given the nature of the JDBC and the encapsulation of many features that are exposed in ruby-pg. *WARNING* this gem is not production ready yet. There are many bugs that needs to be fixed and more testing. So please checkout the code and submit pull requests with some fixes. If your Java-Fu isn't that great you can still contribute by submitting test cases and We'll be happy to fix them.

Full marks to Southampton, they came to win, and even at 1-0 they pushed forward for more.
Both sides went out to ease themselves six clear of the relegation zone, both sat on 27 points, and thank God it was the mighty Magpies who took the honours at 3.20pm.
For Pardew, who was sacked by the Saints in August 2010, the win - his side's third in four league games - served up a measure of revenge for November's 2-0 defeat on the South Coast, but more importantly, allowed him to start looking upwards once again rather than anxiously over his shoulder.
They fell behind to Morgan Schneiderlin's third-minute strike, but Moussa Sissoko's third goal for the club and a superb Papiss Cisse volley gave them the advantage at the break.
Rickie Lambert, a player who was given his Saints chance by Pardew, levelled five minutes into the second half, but Yohan Cabaye's 67th-minute penalty and a Jos Hooiveld own goal 11 minutes from time ensured that the points stayed on Tyneside.
It was France day at St James' Park on Sunday as Newcastle celebrated the seven-man Gallic influence within their squad, but it was an eighth compatriot who was first to make his mark on the game when Schneiderlin thumped home after Lambert had headed down Jack Cork's deep cross.
The Saints started with a high tempo as they pressed their hosts back deep inside their own half and paid particular attention to midfielder playmaker Cabaye, who was driven further and further towards his won goal by the efforts of Steve Davis and Cork.
However, Newcastle gradually forced their way into the game and might have been level with 15 minutes gone when Cisse set up Sissoko to fire a rasping shot across goal which may have been going just wide, but was too close for keeper Artur Boric not to make sure.
Cisse probably should have equalised three minutes later when the hard-working Yoan Gouffran's shot fell nicely for him on the six-yard line, but as he span, he sliced his effort well wide.
Central defender Steven Taylor saw a back-post header from a 21st-minute Cabaye corner deflected over by Maya Yoshida, but the momentum was very much with Newcastle.
They had to wait until 12 minutes before the break to restore parity, but it was worth waiting for.
Cabaye was starting to find more space and when he played a lovely ball down the line for Gouffran, the wide man twisted and turned his way past full-back Nathaniel Clyne to drill in a cross to which Sissoko applied the decisive touch.
There was better to come, however, with three minutes of the half remaining, and this time it was keeper Rob Elliot, making his Premier League debut, who was the provider.
His clearance sailed over Sissoko as he challenged for it, but sat up nicely for Cisse.
The Senegal international has been going through a difficult spell recently, but his dipping volley seared over the helpless Boruc and went in off the underside of the crossbar to rekindle memories of his glorious 13-goal streak during the second half of last season.
Pardew lost skipper Fabricio Coloccini to injury in stoppage time and sent on Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa in his place, and the newcomer found himself in the firing line within two minutes of the restart.
His foul on Lambert allowed the striker to take aim at goal from the resulting free-kick, and Elliot had to dive full-stretch to his left to save.
The Magpies failed to heed the warning and were made to pay for it three minutes later when Adam Lallana was given time and space down the right and cross for Lambert to steer home the equaliser.
Newcastle were fortunate not to fall behind within three minutes when Lambert climbed highest to meet another Lallana cross, but directed his header wide of the target.
Pardew's men were in some disarray and Elliot was relieved to see a 55th-minute effort from Lallana skid wide of the far post, but they gradually began to impose themselves once again, although without really threatening Boruc's goal.
However, they took the lead once again with 67 minutes played, although perhaps in controversial fashion.
Cabaye picked out Mathieu Debuchy with a fine ball over the top and the full-back's volleyed cross hit Danny Fox on the arm.
Referee Chris Foy pointed to the spot as Southampton's protests counted for nothing, and Cabaye stepped up to send Boruc the wrong way to make it 3-2.
Things got worse for the visitors and Fox in particular with 11 minutes remaining when Fox blasted Davide Santon's cross against Hooiveld and saw the ball fly past the helpless Boruc and into the net.

Now that Google has opened up VP8, the big question is obviously how it'll hold up to H264. Of course, VP8 already wins by default because it's open source and royalty free, but that doesn't mean we should neglect the quality issue. Jan Ozer from StreamingMedia.com has put up an article comparing the two codecs, and concludes that the differences are negligible - in fact, only in some high-motion videos did H264 win out. As always, this is just one comparison and most certainly anything but conclusive. Update: Another comparison. I can't spot the difference, but then again, I'm no expert.

In order to qualify for services of the Ryan White Part A Program, you will need to meet certain eligibility requirements. The requirements are the same for all individuals and are clearly defined. As a potential consumer, please work closely with your provider(s) to supply the necessary information to certify your eligibility. Otherwise, you may be missing out on the services that you need.
Three components must be addressed in order to receive services. They are:
All three require specific documentation that will be maintained in the offices of the provider. It is important for you, the consumer, to maintain copies of these documents as well.
Disease Status comes first. You, the client, must be identified as HIV positive. Four types of documents with your name are acceptable as proof:
Most importantly, anonymous testing of HIV/AIDS will not be accepted.
The second area of documentation is Residency. Documents typically accepted to prove residency include a utility bill, rental agreement, voter's registration, or a driver's license. If you lack a permanent address, you will be required to demonstrate homelessness or other residency status.
Thirdly, income level must be established. In this case, many forms of proof are acceptable, such as bank statements, pay stubs, or unemployment income. If you declare no income, this situation must also be verified by documentation. This proof could take the form of a letter from a supporter, a document by a contract administrator, or a statement by a case manager or eligibility worker. This form of documentation is only considered in limited cases.
In any case, you will want to work closely with a provider to maintain proper documentation. The effort that it takes to produce the proper documentation is well worth it, and it helps to keep everyone honest. These services are not available to everyone, and they should go directly to the people who need them the most. Please take the time to help your providers to meet the requirements of the Care Act, and everyone involved will benefit.

What makes the redesigned 2012 911 Carrera exceptional is how it combines unprecedented performance and reasonable day-to-day livability with some of the visceral experience many sporty cars have sacrificed.
Porsche redesigned its revered 911 Carrera and Carrera S, in coupe and convertible Cabriolet versions, but unfortunately the company manufactured both the sixth and the new seventh generations as 2012 models, so be sure you know which model you're looking at if you shop for one. Telltale sign: The new generation replaces the parking brake lever with a switch on the dashboard.
For 2012, the car's other versions — which include the Targa, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S — continue in the sixth generation in limited numbers. For the 2013 model year, the seventh generation will overtake some — but not necessarily all — of these versions. See the new and previous generation's specs compared here, and the full lineup here.
We tested the Carrera S with rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive will return for 2013, adding a 4 to the model name).
More than new technologies, the seventh generation brings refinement in existing technologies and how they interact with each other.
New hardware, more refinement
The 911's standard transmission is a new seven-speed manual — simply a furtherance of the strategy that has been adding gears to manuals — and more recently automatics — over the years: Another gear at the top can tighten up the ratios and/or improve highway cruising efficiency. The latter result most closely describes the 911's new manual. I would have loved to test it simply because it's so novel, and because I prefer manuals, but our Carrera S had the dual-clutch automated manual, called PDK, for Porsche Doppelkupplungs (dual clutch).
The PDK's execution in this car is outstanding. I'll never say that I "didn't even miss the manual," which is a familiar refrain among the car-reviewing community. Ridiculous. Manual vs. automatic is like Coke vs. Pepsi. You can go either way in a pinch, but would you ever take your second choice when you didn't have to? (Incidentally, manuals regrettably make up a sliver of the car market, so in this comparison they'd probably be better represented by Fanta.)
All our editors raved about the PDK, also a seven-speed, because even when it's in one of the automatic modes it always seems to be in the correct gear for the circumstances. In this regard it recalls the dual-clutch in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, but adds to it a smoother experience both from a standing start and when coming to a stop. Those transitions are when the Mitsubishi system and many other dual-clutch transmissions stumble.
Even the standard engine stop/start feature, which is intended to save fuel at stoplights, is unobtrusive and not too objectionable: Release the brake, the engine starts, the transmission engages and off you go in short order. If it bugs you, it can be turned off easily and will stay off as a default.
Characteristic of its design, this transmission upshifts almost instantaneously in Drive mode, yet seems to do so even faster and harder in Sport and Sport Plus modes.
Jab the accelerator in an automatic mode — or use the shift lever or steering-wheel buttons — and the transmission kicks down a gear or more with a rapid throttle-blip rev match and a delicious bark from the exhaust system. Typically, six cylinders aren't a recipe for a pleasing aural experience, but the 911 S exhaust sounds great.
At higher engine speeds and loads, the optional Sport Exhaust feature bypasses chambers in the mufflers for a deeper, louder sound. The car's most popular feature among our editors was a button on the center console that performs this function manually. I estimate that I played with this button, on average, every 4.5 seconds.
The normally aspirated 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder makes 400 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and 325 pounds-feet of torque at 5,600 rpm. Even though the redline is at 7,800 rpm, the engine provides respectable torque throughout the range, with a noticeable jump above 4,000 rpm. By comparison, the regular 911 Carrera has a 3.4-liter H-6 rated at 350 hp and 287 pounds-feet of torque (with the peaks arriving at the same rpm as in the 911 S).
Porsche estimates the cars' zero-to-60 times with manual transmissions at 4.3 seconds for the Carrera S and 4.5 seconds for the regular Carrera. The optional PDK cuts 0.2 second from each car's time because PDK shifts faster than you can. By my calculation, each tenth of a second costs you more than $2,000, though, because the PDK option is $4,080. The optional Sport Chrono Package is good for another 0.2-second decrease when combined with PDK. Why? Because it includes a launch-control feature that, once again, gets you off the line faster than you could move without it. Sport Chrono costs $1,850, so its extra tenths of a second are a relative bargain, especially when you consider its other features, which I'll detail in a moment.
Despite its modest power increases, the new coupe is estimated to get one more mile per gallon combined in most versions. The 911 with PDK gets an estimated 23 mpg combined, while all the others are rated 22 mpg. The Cabriolets also match, even though their additional weight costs them roughly 0.2 seconds in the zero-to-60.
A major mechanical change for the seventh generation, the power steering is now electric rather than hydraulic, and it's very nicely executed. Under high-speed loads on the racetrack, steering feedback is very good, but I thought a lot of it was lost at lower speeds. This could be because of our test car's optional Power Steering Plus, a $270 stand-alone option meant to lighten steering effort at lower speeds.
British racing legend Stirling Moss reportedly claimed that "The steering wheel is merely the means of introducing the car to the corner." If you share this view, you'll want to drive a 911. The 2012 feels more stable than previous models, but this rear-engine car still likes to go sideways.
The rear axle remains in front of the engine, but Porsche says the new generation's longer wheelbase moves it closer to the engine's center of mass, shifting the car's weight distribution forward. Even so, the front/rear distribution is roughly 39/61 percent with the manual transmission. Rear-wheel drive and PDK shift it to 38/62 percent.
On the track, the new 911 feels more neutral heading into a corner than does the previous generation, and Porsche says a wider front track is part of the reason. Less understeer to begin with yields less opportunity for an understeer-oversteer tug of war. I took the Carrera S around Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin's Road America, where torque vectoring between the rear wheels allowed me to hug the curves and follow a tighter line. The feature is standard on the S and optional on the regular 911 Carrera.
Much more technology is in play. The adaptive suspension automatically optimizes shock-absorber firmness for conditions, and a button allows the driver to choose between Normal or Sport modes. Again standard on the S and optional on the Carrera, this Porsche Active Suspension Management option also lowers the car by four-fifths of an inch.
Our car also had the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control option, a means of controlling body roll that's related in principle to Mercedes' Active Body Control and BMW's active stabilizer bars. It employs variable-rate hydraulic actuators at each wheel between the spring perch and the same point on the lower control arms where the conventional stabilizer bars attach. By sensing lateral acceleration and steering angle, the system acts to counter body motions. The result is exceptionally flat cornering.
Confidence conspiracy
All these systems conspire to make you think you're a better driver than you probably are. There's nothing wrong with that … or is there? What ever happened to learning a performance vehicle's quirks and attributes and mastering them? I've long said that the 911, especially in all-wheel-drive form, is too unflappable to enjoy except on a racetrack. In this regard, the 911 was simply ahead of the curve — for better and for worse — because other models have likewise raised their capability while sacrificing the visceral, seat-of-your-pants feel we've always valued in sports cars.
Now it seems the 911 might be ahead of the curve again. Even as the visceral experience from such stalwarts as BMW continues to fade, our Carrera S still had it. In its reasonably comfortable Normal mode, the car's suspension has a hint of the high-strung feel that once defined sports cars. But there's more to it, and I suspect it stems from the dynamic engine mounts that come with the optional Sport Chrono Package.
The electronically controlled mounts, previously offered on the GT3 and Turbo models, aren't unlike the adaptive shock absorbers in the suspension in that their compliance varies with changing conditions. In general, they isolate the engine's vibrations from the body in normal modes, but when you activate Sport Plus, they firm up. The main objective is to prevent the engine from heaving its weight around in aggressive driving — especially valuable in a rear-heavy rear-engine car. In the process, the more rigid connection puts the driver more in touch with the machine.
Though the package is named for the stopwatch feature — an analog chronograph in the center of the dashboard — Sport Chrono adds several more-meaningful features, including the Sport Plus button, dynamic engine mounts and, in models with PDK, launch control.
The standard Sport Mode makes the accelerator more sensitive and, in cars with PDK, raises the shift points. Sport Plus loosens up the electronic stability system and — when equipped with the features — activates the sport exhaust and a still-more-aggressive PDK calibration.
With its six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers (the regular Carrera has four pistons in front), our Carrera S had exceptional braking with no noticeable brake fade. Unless you'll be doing sustained track driving, you can probably get away without the fade-fighting optional Ceramic Composite Brake Package ($8,520).
For all its joys, the 911 came with some annoyances. A major one was glare on the windshield from our test car's light-colored dashboard, part of the optional Luxor Beige leather interior. My polarized sunglasses helped, but it was an issue even at night when passing under streetlights. I'd keep the dashboard color dark.
The optional Burmester audio system's automatic speed-based volume control didn't match changes in speed well, and then I thought the volume jumped too much with each click even when I adjusted it manually.
The 911's backseat isn't an annoyance so long as you accept that it's not really a backseat. We put a videographer back there for a shoot, and I think he's still in there.
A big irritant for me is the fake-metal trim, which looks cheap. Even models like the midlevel BMW 3 Series and Nissan Murano have real aluminum. Hidden behind the offending trim piece above the glove box are two minimally functional "cupholders." Come on, Porsche — all the other German brands have assimilated. You replaced the handbrake lever with a switch and didn't use the space for a single decent cupholder?
Perhaps the biggest hurdle is the 911's price. As was true before the redesign, you're paying mainly for the car's capabilities, its rear-engine setup (something you won't otherwise find at this price) and the Porsche name, so you end up with things like the cheapo trim and partial leather seats unless you're willing to load up on options.
Base priced at a substantial $97,350 (including a $950 destination charge), with options our 911 Carrera S was inflated to $128,700. Even with its 18 extra-cost items, our car didn't even dent the staggering available-options list, which includes items as granular as a leather trim strip for the switch panel. To Porsche's great credit, most features are priced individually.
To get the purest experience without spending too much, I think I'd go with a regular Carrera with the manual transmission, standard suspension and the Sport Chrono Package. I'd add the $610 rear park assist because it would probably pay for itself in the long run. This configuration totals $85,510.
Due to their low volume, Porsches aren't crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The 911 Carrera has six airbags — the front two along with two-piece side-impact airbags on either side. A torso airbag deploys from the seatback, and a head-protection airbag deploys upward from the door rather than downward from the ceiling. This gives the Cabriolet version head protection that some convertibles lack.
As is required of all new cars starting with the 2012 model year, the 911 has antilock brakes and an electronic stability system with traction control. See all the standard safety features here.
911 in the market
Based on price alone, one could cross-shop other sports cars, but there's no denying the 911 is a singular entity. In the new generation, as in previous ones, its reputation is earned.

HAMILTON — Donors on both sides have started plunking down cash for Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede and her Democratic opponent, Barbara Plumeri, even with the special election still more than six months away.
The pair raised large amounts for a municipal race — more, even than the legislative candidates for the 14th district, which has been regarded as a close race — according to state disclosures. Both took it as a sign of their support from the people of Hamilton, and their campaign.
"I'm very pleased by the support," Yaede said. "I believe that it shows improvement in the confidence of the mayor's position in the township."
"They believe as I do that it is past time to clean up from the mess of the Bencivengo-Yaede years and restore ethics to town hall," Plumeri said.
Yaede raised $109,809.95 since January and Plumeri raised $65,575. Expenses for the campaigns bring the two a little closer to each other: Yaede has $65,167.46 in her campaign account and Plumeri has $51,008. Still, the amount of cash-on-hand both have more closely resembles the war chests incumbent mayors have had in past elections than the relatively new campaigns of Yaede and Plumeri.
Both Yaede and Plumeri followed through on pledges to disclose all donations, whether or not they met the $300 threshold. The records come from the 30-day primary election report with the New Jersey Election Enforcement Commission.
"I congratulate her for joining me in doing it. It is the right thing to do," Plumeri said.
"Given the climate over the last couple of years it is only right that it be disclosed," Yaede said. "But I did not do so in a press release or a public announcement."
There was one $150 donation from Yaede's January report that did not meet the disclosure requirements and was not on the Election Law Enforcement Commission report. Yaede said that donation was made before she made the decision to disclose all donations, but would look into it further.
Yaede was selected from her position as Hamilton council's vice president last year to step in for former Mayor John Bencivengo. Bencivengo resigned last November following his conviction on federal corruption charges related to corruption in the Hamilton Township Board of Education. She announced her run for mayor a few months later.
Plumeri announced her candidacy for mayor a few days prior, and was selected as the Democratic candidate at a February convention.
The largest portion of Yaede's fund-raising and expenditures came from the Mayor's Ball, held on April 20, which cost more than $50,000 counting the invitations, food and entertainment. Yaede also rolled over about $20,000 from her previous council campaign.
The filings, sent to the state for a May 6 deadline, did not include a $2,000 donation from Yaede to the Hamilton Township Patriotic Committee on May 10. She said that she did not have "any concrete plans" for further donations, but may do so in the future. She previously donated a portion of her campaign account to the Hamilton Animal Shelter.
For comparison, in the 2011 primary, the majority of John Bencivengo's $66,000 cash-on-hand was left over from his previous run for mayor four years prior. In the same reporting period, he raised $22,468.05.
In 2007, then-Mayor Glen Gilmore raised $11,480 during the same period, with $52,568.34 in his campaign account, largely left over from his successful mayoral run four years earlier. His opponent, Bencivengo, raised $31,744 with $12,868.97 in his campaign account.

SCIENCE HILL, Ky. (WKYT) - The Science Hill Garden Club watches over their loved ones at the Science Hill Cemetery. The club's official title is the Science Hill Cemetery Association. Many of the members are following in their mother's and grandmother's footsteps. Lately the club's monthly meetings have been focused on a county problem.
"Of course, I'm sure bigger cities have a much bigger problem than we do," said club secretary Sonya Morris.
"But it's something we wanted to do," echoed member Susan Dugger.
The county has been dealing with more indigent burials lately. County Judge Executive Barty Bullock says in the past, they have been able to find random plots in local cemeteries to bury those people with no families. However, the number of indigent deaths have been on the rise while the number of available plots have been decreasing. "When this happens, the coroners do look for family members or look for somebody to claim the bodies and take charge of these things. But lately it's been a problem," Judge Bullock said.
"We have so many people who just kind of drift in and have no family," said Pulaski County Coroner Charles Godbey.
So the Science Hill Garden Club decided to lease a piece of their old cemetery to the county for one dollar a year for 100 years as a place to bury the indigents. "Everyone deserves a burial," Morris said.
A typical burial for someone with no family costs taxpayers about 700 dollars, just for the actual burial.
But the ladies of the garden club have cut that to nothing. Because for them, the garden club is more than pretty flowers, it's generations tending to family that have gone on, and now growing to honor those without one.

Even while the streets of Island Park were flooding, the IPFD was responding to calls. They were going out up until the height of the storm. The fire house flooded too, destroying some of the trucks. But after the storm, the men and women of the IPFD were back on the streets.
In the days after the storm, they went house to house doing search and rescue to make sure everyone in the community was safe. They've been working nonstop, and just recently went door to door again, this time doing the electrical inspections that LIPA should have been doing (and probably doing a better job of it, too). They've been sleeping on cots in a cold building every day. Their own homes and possessions were destroyed in the flood, yet they are still out there working for the community.
The people in Oceanside have been no less impressive.
One of the elementary schools in Oceanside also isn't operational, yet the school district managed to figure out how to get all 400 of the students from School 8 to School 6 every day for class. That is no small feat.
At the rally the school district held on Nov. 9, Superintendent Dr. Herb Brown perfectly summarized the frustrations of Oceanside. "We are starting school for 450 kids on Tuesday at another location, School 6," he said. "If you think that's an easy thing to do, try it some day. We're doing that, and LIPA can't turn on one light? They can't turn on one traffic light? They can't turn on our homes?"
Once Oceanside High School got power back, it became a refuge for the community. People have been coming to the school for hot meals and warm place to stay. Now that the school has officially reopened, it's staying open later, giving students a warm place to study and also allowing them to use the computers. And after school, students can use the showers in the varsity locker rooms.
The Oceanside Fire Department was also responding to calls the day of the storm as long as it could. It actually lost a truck trying to get to a call during the hurricane.

Jessica Chastain's star power helps 'The Heiress'
WHO Jessica Chastain
THE PLAY "The Heiress"
THE DEAL Although the Broadway revival of "The Heiress" received somewhat unenthusiastic reviews, its weekly grosses picked up considerably once Jessica Chastain's performance in the film "Zero Dark Thirty" got Oscar buzz. The show's producers announced last week that the revival was expected to recoup its $3 million capitalization costs by the time it closed last weekend.
-- Matt Windman
THE PLAY "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"
THE DEAL A special performance of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" on April 27 will be staged for people with autism, part of the Theater Development Fund's Autism Theatre Initiative. Adjustments to the production include reducing jarring sounds and strobe lights. Autism experts will be in the lobby. "The Lion King," "Mary Poppins" and "Elf" previously participated in the program. Tickets, $35 to $80, can be purchased at tdf.org/spiderman.
-- Barbara Schuler
THE PLAY "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
THE DEAL Sandy, the famous canine in "Annie," is about to get some competition. They're looking for a cat to take the part of, well, Cat in Richard Greenberg's new play, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The cat, as fans of Truman Capote's novel well know, belongs to Holly Golightly (played in this production by Emilia Clarke of "Game of Thrones"). If you know a feline that might enjoy Broadway, submit a photo to email@example.com.
-- Barbara Schuler
WHO Edward Watts
THE PLAY "It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's Superman"
THE DEAL Cheyenne Jackson, who seemed like an obvious choice to play the Man of Steel in the City Center Encores! upcoming revival of "It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's Superman," recently tweeted he was "hanging up the tights," having played the part twice before. Last Week, Encores! said the role would go to Edward Watts, who recently appeared in "Scandalous." No word yet on Lois Lane.

Burdwan: Claiming that the country will be divided if BJP leader Narendra Modi comes to power, CPI(M) politburo member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday said Modi is a candidate who has been pushed forward only by industrialists.
"If Modi comes to power then our country will be divided and it will be a danger for us. Modi is not being pushed forward by farmers and poor people of Gujarat. He is being pushed forward by big industrialists of the country," he said.
"It is a dangerous trend that industrialists are pitching in for Modi," the former West Bengal Chief Minister said while addressing rally here.
Bhattacharjee today reiterated that both the Trinamool Congress and the BJP have entered into a covert alliance.
"We know that BJP and Trinamool are in a covert alliance. This is not a new claim. Earlier also we have seen them as allies," he said.
Bhattacharjee noted that the present UPA regime and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have to go after the next Lok Sabha elections due to their anti-people policies.
"The condition of the Manmohan Singh government is not good. They will have to leave because of their anti-people policies," he said, claiming that the Trinamool Congress was also responsible for the anti-people policies pursued by the UPA regime as it had been an alliance partner for three years.
"Trinamool can`t run away from its responsibilities as anti-people policies like deregulation of oil prices and many other decisions were taken when they were part of the UPA," the CPI(M) leader said.
Criticising the state government for not ordering a CBI inquiry into the Saradha ponzi scam, Bhattacharjee said, "Why is the state government not confiscating the property of Saradha group? We want a CBI inquiry into the Saradha scam. Only a CBI inquiry can bring out the truth."

I've just replaced my mobile phone and based on a good experience of the N810 I've bought an n900. Early days, but here are some initial impressions:
The UI is pretty usable and the zooming is very slick and smooth. Lots of RAM seems to keep everything moving along when multitasksing, but the write speed of the memory feels slow. No benchmarks, just gut feel.
Application availability is still poor. Things such as Abiword are starting to appear on extras-dev but overall, way behind the competiton. Come on, Nokia!
Hardware is great. Its fast. FM transmitter, fast GPS, real keyboard - everything you need.
My plan is to do relatively little tinkering on the phone OS itself, in order to keep it working as a phone! but easy Debian is installed and that seems to offer a great sandbox to play in without fear of breaking the phone itself.
More later. Anybody else got one?

Ashland's ice skating season will kick off with a new rink cover and hockey exhibitions, music and ice sculpting.
Workers have been putting the finishing touches on the ice rink so it will be ready for opening festivities on Saturday, Nov. 23.
Each year, a parking lot on Winburn Way across from the Lithia Park children's playground is transformed into an ice rink.
The rink has been without a cover since 2007, when its old cover was crushed by a tree and heavy snow, leaving the ice exposed to sun and rain.
The Ashland Parks and Recreation Department paid $251,200 this fall for the new cover.
The cover will reduce rink closures and program cancellations caused by bad weather and sun exposure, parks officials said.
"Over 10,000 visitors skate at the ice rink each year and the cover will help on those tricky weather days," said parks Superintendent Rachel Dials.
The rink attracts Ashland residents as well as visitors from throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California.
This season, the rink will have preliminary, understated openings on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 21-22, with open skate sessions from 2 to 6 p.m. and adult hockey from 7 to 10 p.m.
A range of activities is planned for the official opening on Saturday, Nov. 23.
"It should be a fun night. It's a good kick-off to the 2013-2014 ice skating season," said Parks Recreation Coordinator Lonny Flora.
The festivities will include:
- Local artist Roger Butterfield transforming 1,200 pounds of ice into an ice sculpture near the rink from 3 to 7 p.m.
- A 5 p.m. Southern Oregon Adult Hockey Association exhibition game between the Stars and the Sharp Skates Kings
- Skating for the public with music provided by DJ Hope from 6 to 10 p.m.
- Beginning at 7:30 p.m., an approximately 45-minute break for speeches, ice smoothing and potential performances by the Southern Oregon Figure Skating Club.
- Chilly the Snowman mascot visits with kids
- Distribution of discount coupons
- Half-price rink admission and regular skate rental prices
Regular rink admission is free for children under age 5, $3.50 for youths under age 14 and $4 for adults. Skate rentals are $2.50 per pair for a four-hour session.
For information on prices, regular schedules, holiday schedules, ice skating lessons, scholarships and more, visit www.ashland.or.us/IceRink or call the ice rink at 541-488-9189.

I don't know either of them all that well
Please tell me to mind my own business, and just hope they both join the same online dating agency.
I am having to hold myself back, and I know that I should NOT get involved. Playing matchmaker is a minefield of etiquette nightmares, not to mention a sure way to doom friendships. But what do you do when you know two people, both of whom you know are interested in finding Someone, who would be perfect for each other? I always think that deliberately matchmaking in the way of "I know someone who would be perfect for you" is a terrible idea -- even if they do click, if it does go wrong later you risk losing both friendships. In this case, though, I don't know either of them all that well, ie they both seem like wonderful people but I don't know if either has strange habits, weird personal baggage, or a recent acquittal on a technicality on a charge of axe-murdering.Both the people in question are in their late 40s, and both came out of rather difficult divorces a few years ago. Both are what I would consider average-to-pleasant looking and very ordinary, ie in a good way. But having got to know both these people, it suddenly struck me how they would be a good match.There is no way these people are going to meet. The female concerned is someone in my village that I chat with frequently and meet up with to walk our dogs. The male is a customer of mine, from the town about 10 miles away, but we have chatted quite a bit and I know quite a lot about his life and interests. Unfortunately, he's not a "friend" or someone I meet socially -- otherwise it would be very easy to engineer a meeting to let them get to know each other.Please tell me to mind my own business, and just hope they both join the same online dating agency.
I've always found that if there's a small, niggling voice in the back of my head saying "Don't do it!", it's a good idea to listen.
