Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a Mediterranean and cosmopolitan city with Roman remains, medieval quarters and the most beautiful examples of 20th century Modernism and avant-garde. It is no surprise that emblematic constructions by the Catalan architects Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Doménech i Montaner have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The city's origins are Roman, and its long history and economic dynamism have made Barcelona a cultural city, which can be seen in the historic-artistic heritage and the promotion of the most innovative artistic trends. A wide cultural programme will take visitors to museums, exhibitions, open-air sculptures… and many concerts, plays and dances.
Popular culture also has its manifestations in this city, which still conserves its most cherished traditions, like the fiestas of La Mercè or the festivities in the neighbourhoods of Gràcia, Sants and Poblenou. These are all exceptional opportunities for getting to know the city's more festive side. Tradition and modernity can also be seen in its innovative and imaginative gastronomy, based on fresh garden produce, fresh fish, a wide variety of sausages and olive oil. Traditional handmade cakes and pastries and sparkling wines are some of the other highlights in this brief overview of Barcelona's gastronomic culture.
Strolling around the streets of Barcelona will bring surprises at every turn. Pedestrian streets in the old quarter, green spaces, and a splendid seafront with a range of modern facilities are a reflection of its multi-faceted character. Barcelona has cleverly succeeded in embracing its past without forgetting its commitment to the future. The city is endowed with some exceptional infrastructures which are in demand as venues for seminars, symposia and international events. Its exceptional transport connections, the Mediterranean climate and the multitude of attractions for visitors make Barcelona one of the world's leading business cities. Business parks and exhibition and conference centres host a wide range of initiatives. Visitors coming to Barcelona for pleasure or on business can also enjoy the city's Mediterranean character, which can so clearly be seen on the Barc elona coast. The city also has lovely urban beaches, marine resorts, and golf courses on the seashore. Nature lovers will not have to go far to explore the mountains in the Cordillera Litoral range and the Catalan Pyrenees.

In the following map you'll find the locations of all the incredible views that we have recommended. Don't miss a thing!
Barcelona For you
Barcelona, a real open-air museum
Thanks to the rich and varied heritage in Barcelona, there are many routes round the city. That way visitors will be able to discover everything the city has to offer.
The city's original site, which was surrounded by walls in the Roman period, is today the Barrio Gótico (Gothic Quarter). Along narrow streets, with secluded squares and charming corners, you will find a series of civil and religious Gothic constructions. Medieval palaces such as the Casa dels Canonges, La Pia Almoina or Casa d'Ardiaca stand around the impressive cathedral. The Plaça del Rei is a square with an array of spectacular buildings such as the Reial Major Palace, the Santa Ágata Chapel or the History of the City Museum. In the Plaça de Sant Jaume there are important institutions, such as the Regional Parliament and the City Hall. And, of course, the Mercè Church, patron saint of Barcelona.
Next to the Gothic Quarter is the Ribera district, which is also medieval. Originally, traders and fishermen gathered there, but over the years magnificent mansions were built. Some of them have been fitted out to be used as important museums. The Palace of the Marquises of Llió (Textile and Clothing Museum), Palau Nadal (Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Columbine Art) or the Palau Aguilar (Picasso Museum) are some examples. Barcelona has many different styles in the same place - from the Gothic structures of the Santa María del Mar Church to the Modernism of the Palau de la Música Catalana auditorium. At the end of the 19th century the new urban development area in the centre of Barcelona was built - L'Eixample. A vast grid plan, with large avenues and chamfered corners joined the irregular plan of old districts and suburbs with the hills in the surrounding areas. The emerging Catalan bourgeoisie built up their daring Modernist mansions here. Architects such as Gaudí, Doménech i Montaner or Puig i Cadafalch relied on the help of master craftsmen to fill the streets of Barcelona with fantasy. Works by Gaudí, such as Park Güell, the Palau Güell, and Casa Milà "La Pedrera", as well as Doménech i Montaner's Palau de la Música Catalana, and the Sant Pau Hospital have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The temple of the Sagrada Familia (the Holy Family), and houses such as Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Amatller, and Casa Batlló are just a few of the many modernist gems treasured by the city. One of the main arteries of the historic quarter, La Rambla, leads to the Mediterranean Sea, and it is one of the best places to catch the rhythm of the city. The visitor is led through its different sections, from the Romanesque church of Santa Anna, to the bird and flower stalls, passing gorgeous examples of Baroque and Renaissance architecture on the way. The Palau Moja, the church of Betlem and the Santa Creu Hospital serve as guides. There are other centres of cultural activity and daily life in this area, such as the Palau de la Virreina, (now a gallery), the Boquería Market and the Liceu Opera House. Barcelona overlooks the sea, and it has a waterfront that encompasses many different artistic styles. Les Drassanes, formerly a dockyard and now home to the Maritime Museum, and the Llotja del Mar are part of the medieval port facilities. Arcaded houses lead to the Ciutadella Park, the Olympic Village and the Port Olímpic. Beaches, piers and an impressive array of museums and leisure centres (such as the Aquarium, the 3D IMAX Theatre, the Colon viewing point, etc.) make Barcelona's seaport a cosmopolitan place, full of life. Some of these modern facilities are the inheritance from the 1992 Olympics. Their mark can also be seen on the hill at Montjuïc, beside the monumental work from the 1929 World Exhibition. The castle of Montjuïc, (now the Army Museum) takes over this symbolic hill, where true gems of Barcelona's architecture can be found. The Plaça d'Espanya, the Magic Fountain, the Palau Nacional (with the medieval collection of the Catalan National Museum of Art - MNAC) and the Olympic Ring are a few of its most important works. The Olympic Stadium, the Calatrava Tower, the Sant Jordi Sports Centre and the INEFC (Catalonia National Institute of Physical Education) Pavilion, built by Ricardo Bofill, rise among gorgeous gardens. Barcelona's culture is not only evident in its buildings, parks and outdoor sculptures, but also in its countless museum collections. Artists of the stature of Picasso, Miró, Tàpies or Gaudí, have museums entirely devoted to collect their works. Artistic pieces from all periods are kept in the city's History Museum, the Museum of the History of Catalonia, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Many other institutions also bring the avant-garde movement to the eyes of the general public, through permanent and temporary collections. Sometimes the container is as important as the contents it preserves, and, in the case of buildings and museums, this is true of the collections found in the beautiful structures that the Barcelona Centre for Contemporary Culture (CCCB) and Caixa Forum. The museums of Barcelona, however, cover a wider variety of subjects; namely: archaeology, zoology, science, ethnology, pre-Colombian art and more. A large number of exhibition halls round off this rich and diverse cultural selection. Barcelona's City Council has created the Barcelona Card especially for visitors; it is valid for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days. Its main attractions are free transport and great discounts on entertainment, museums, and even restaurants. The visitor can also get an Articket, which is a multi-pass allowing entry to the MNAC, the MACBA (Barcelona Contemporary Art Museum, built by architect Richard Meier), the Joan Miró Foundation, the Antoni Tàpies Foundation, the CCCB, and Caixa Catalunya Cultural Centre, located in "La Pedrera", all at a discounted price.

Sports for everybody
With the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, large sports facilities were built in the city. These facilities are used for important shows, professional training and for the general public to practise sports.
Thanks to Barcelona's exceptional location, surrounded by mountains and next to the sea, it offers a wide range of possibilities. All water sports are possible with courses and activities organised in the marinas. Sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving or snorkelling are just some examples of what can be done. In the city you can also find a wide variety of sports activities: football and athletics fields, swimming pools, ice rinks, horse riding circuits, shooting ranges… All these spaces are well-communicated by public transport, as well as the golf courses, which are situated in nearby towns. There are beautiful greens next to the Mediterranean, where golfers will enjoy both the game and the stunning views. The natural surroundings of Barcelona are also perfect for practising many adventure sports and enjoying nature. Hang-gliding, paragliding, quads, hiking and cycle touring are some examples.
The scenic wealth of Catalonia can be seen in places near Barcelona like the Barcelona coast, the Cordillera Costera mountains and the Catalan Pyrenees. An extensive coastline with broad expanses of sand, cliffs dropping steeply into the sea, and pine groves growing down to the shore... these are a few of the features of the ecological diversity of its seaboard. For those who prefer the mountains, there are the peaks and crests of the pre-Pyrenees and the eastern Pyrenean mountains in the provinces of Lleida and Girona. The protected spaces of Barcelona, which include the nature reserves of Montseny, San Llorenç de Munt i Serra d'Obac and the Muntanya de Montserrat, are also well worth a visit. In fact, the forests of holm oak, cork oak, pine, oak and beech in Montseny have been declared a Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO. The visitor centres and interpretation centres can provide travellers with information about the most attractive routes and activities for exploring and enjoying the area.

Mediterranean flavours
Cosmopolitan, with Mediterranean essences, the gastronomy in Barcelona is a showcase for the great Catalan recipes.
Some typical dishes are the butifarra amb mongetes (white beans with Catalan pork sausage), escudella and carn d'olla (hearty casseroles), and the famous pa amb tomàquet (country bread with tomato and olive oil). And we must not forget desserts such as crema catalana (similar to crème brûlée) or the excellent wines of Alella, Pla de Bages and Penedès.
For young people
The latest art and music trends
Barcelona is a city of the future which caters for the tastes and hobbies of young people.
It offers a broad programme including cinema, theatre, music and art, which is highlighted with the different festivals that take place in Barcelona. The BAM (Barcelona Acció Musical) and Sónar (Barcelona International Festival of Progressive Music and Multimedia Arts) prove that the city is interested in the latest art and music trends. Visitors will find a music, film or theatre festival at almost any time of the year. Hundreds of people gather at traditional Catalan festivities, such as the Mercè Fiestas (declared of National Tourist Interest), to attend gigs by the most prestigious international bands. There is also interesting nightlife in Barcelona - visitors can find the most innovative clubs next to important museums, parks, historic gardens and shopping centres. Discos, live music, pubs and restaurants are situated in the most emblematic places in town. Select atmosphere in Diagonal, original clubs in the Barrio de Gràcia area and terraces in Port Vell, Port Olímpic and any square in the city are some of the attractions of the nightlife in Barcelona. The excellent sports facilities in Barcelona are available for visitors who want to practise any sport. The marinas and facilities that were built for the 1992 Olympic Games are worth visiting both for their architecture and their activities. Large concerts and important competitions also take place in these facilities. Football fans will have the chance to watch memorable matches in the FC Barcelona and Espanyol stadiums, respectively.
Situated on the shore of the Mediterranean, Barcelona has a good number of urban beaches, where visitors will be able to enjoy the great climate of this coast. The opportunity for windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving or canoeing will be exciting for both beginners and pros and if visitors want to continue with open-air sports, the fact that Barcelona is very near the Pyrenees and to the coastal hills that make up the Cordillera Litoral should not be forgotten. Hiking, cycle touring, paragliding and hang-gliding are activities enabling travellers to discover the Catalan capital's natural surroundings. Young people travelling with an ISIC card and student identification will enjoy numerous discounts at museums and exhibitions. They will also benefit from discounts on public transport. A wonderful option is to buy the Barcelona Card. This card, created for one to five-day stays, includes urban public transport and significant discounts at museums, shows, leisure facilities, nightclubs, stores and restaurants. Those interested in visiting the city's most important museums can buy the Articket, saving them a considerable amount of money.

Activities for all the family
A large capital like Barcelona has an amazing and varied range of activities available all over the city, as well as urban beaches - La Barceloneta, Marbella, Nova Marbella, Nova Icaria and Bogatell.
The nautical facilities at the port offer the chance to practise many water sports where the children will be able to take their first steps in these sports. Children and grown-ups alike will love a boat trip along the port in the popular "Golondrinas", where they will be able to see the most modern face of Barcelona's coast. If you want to see many species of animals, you can go to L'Aquàrium and the Zoo. Direct observation, animated films, workshops, stories and interactive spaces for exploring are some of the proposals for children to have fun whilst learning. The Barcelona Maritime Museum (MMB) is also sea-related. This centre, situated in the historic building of Drassanes Reials, has an important educational programme. Activities in the museum, the Spharea (an inflatable and portable planetarium) and the boat anchored in the port are all part of the educational programme at the Sea Educational Resources Centre. Museums of Science, Textile and Clothing, Decorative Art or Ceramics have prepared educational workshops and programmes for children of different ages. The programme for children continues in galleries such as the Joan Miró Foundation, the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) or the Barcelona Contemporary Art Museum (MACBA), amongst many others. Different activities and guided visits that are particularly aimed at children and young people enable them to have fun and take in these art collections.

Bike riding is a great way to get exercise and fresh air and share time as a family. But before you and the kids rush out and start pedaling, there's an important factor that you need to consider — safety.
Bicycle helmet use should not be optional for anyone in your family, no matter where you are or how short the ride. In many states it's the law.
Here's why: Many bike accidents involve a head injury, so a crash could mean permanent brain damage or death for someone who doesn't wear one while riding. In fact, each year in the United States, about half a million kids are seriously injured in bicycle-related accidents, and most of those injuries could have been avoided if a helmet was worn. To protect against brain injury, make sure your kids wear a correctly fitting helmet on every ride.
Here are some things to keep in mind when buying a helmet:
You should be able to get help finding a well-fitting helmet and adjusting it properly at any bicycle store.
When kids wear a helmet, make sure that the straps are fastened. Also make sure they don't wear any other hat underneath it.
Be sure to replace any helmet made before 1999. If your child hits any surface hard while wearing a helmet, replace it — helmets lose their capacity to absorb shock after taking serious hits.
A few bike helmets can be used as protection for other activities, but in general, they're best suited to biking. Most helmets are made for one specific type of activity — for example, special helmets also are made for inline skating, baseball, and snowmobiling.
Kids should not wear any helmet when they're on a playground or climbing a tree — there is a risk of strangulation from the chin strap during these types of activities.
What kids wear when riding a bike is also very important for safety:
Here are some must-know safety tips to teach kids:
Left turn
Right turn
Right turn alternative
Check your child's bike at least once each season to keep it safe and well-maintained.
Be sure to check:
One of the best ways to help kids learn safe bike riding is to set a good example by following the rules of the road yourself. Most important, always wear your helmet.
Go for bike rides with your kids so you can show them what safe riding looks like. It's also a great way to stay active as a family and get valuable together time that you'll all enjoy!

|Condition or disease
|Substance Abuse HIV Infections
|Drug: Aripiprazole Drug: Placebo
|Phase 2
Population-based surveys estimate that the prevalence of methamphetamine use is 20 times higher among men who have sex with men (MSM) compared to the general population. Methamphetamine-associated sexual risk behavior is also a driving force in the MSM HIV epidemic: methamphetamine use has been associated with increased number of sexual partners, unprotected sex acts, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV acquisition. Despite these alarming data, relatively few interventions have been tested among methamphetamine-using MSM. Among heterosexual non-injection drug users, methamphetamine use has been associated with well characterized risks for HIV and STDs including increased numbers of sexual partners, less condom use than non-methamphetamine users, engaging in sex work, and self-reported history of STDs. In parallel with the continued testing of behavioral approaches, we believe the time has come to test the feasibility and acceptability of pharmacologic interventions to reduce methamphetamine use among high-risk individuals. Pharmacologic approaches to treating substance use have been successful in treating nicotine, alcohol, and heroin dependencies. Preliminary dosing studies demonstrate that aripiprazole (Abilify), an FDA-approved, well-tolerated antipsychotic and partial dopamine agonist, reduced the effects of methamphetamine in humans and exhibited a good safety profile. We propose to expand upon these promising results by conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of aripiprazole among sexually-active, methamphetamine-dependent individuals.
The specific aims of this study are:
- To test the hypothesis that aripiprazole 20 mg daily will reduce methamphetamine use significantly more than placebo among methamphetamine-dependent individuals, as determined by the proportion of methamphetamine-negative urines and by self-report of methamphetamine use in the aripiprazole versus placebo group.
- To measure the acceptability of aripiprazole and placebo among methamphetamine-dependent individuals, by determining (via electronic pill caps and self-report) medication adherence to aripiprazole and placebo.
- To measure the safety and tolerability of aripiprazole and placebo among methamphetamine-dependent individuals, as determined by the number of adverse clinical events in the aripiprazole and placebo arms.
If promising, study results will be used to design larger, definitive clinical trials to determine the efficacy of aripiprazole in reducing methamphetamine use and corresponding methamphetamine-associated sexual risk among MSM. This pilot study is therefore designed to reflect the structure of such trials. We will enroll 90 sexually active, methamphetamine-dependent individuals who will be randomized 1:1 to receive aripiprazole (n=45) or placebo (n=45) for 12 weeks. Because we are testing a drug for a new indication in a new population, we will include extensive safety parameters, as done in prior studies of pharmacologic interventions among substance users. We will also include both urine testing and extensive behavioral risk assessments because we anticipate that future definitive efficacy trials will analyze both substance use and sexual risk behavior outcomes. Study participants will be seen at the San Francisco Department of Public Health AIDS Office where they will provide urines for drug testing and participate in substance use counseling. All participants will receive HIV risk-reduction counseling. Behavior will be assessed using standardized measures via audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI).

Special Interest Groups
Rating Group: Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
2009 Brady Gun Violence Prevention Report Card: Standing Up to the Gun Lobby (Presidential Score)
How to Interpret these Evaluations
Keep in mind that ratings done by special interest groups often do not represent a non-partisan stance. In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than choosing votes based solely on issues concerns. Nevertheless, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes in the past one or two years, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared. Website links, if available, and descriptions of the organizations offering performance evaluations are accessible by clicking on the name of the group.
Most performance evaluations are displayed in a percentage format. However, some organizations present their ratings in the form of a letter grade or endorsement based on voting records, interviews, survey results and/or sources of campaign funding. For consistency and ease in understanding, Project Vote Smart converts all scores into a percentage when possible. Please visit the group's website or call 1-888-VOTESMART for more specific information.

Incline bests Whittell in OT
INCLINE VILLAGE – Who was going to be a hero? That was the question after 32-plus minutes of intense, seesaw action between the Whittell and Incline boys basketball teams Tuesday night.
As it turned out, many players were deserving of that designation.
But after an epic battle that featured six ties and 10 lead changes, including two in the final 16 seconds of regulation, it was Incline's standouts who prevailed with a thrilling, 51-50 win in overtime.
"The kids just kept making shots," said Incline coach Tim Kelly. "It's a fun night when kids are making plays like that."
For a moment, Palmer Chaplin was the celebrated star, as the Whittell freshman sunk a deep 3-pointer with 16 seconds left in regulation to give the Warriors a 43-42 lead.
Thirteen seconds later, however, Incline sophomore Jack Clouthier took over the hero role, as he drained his own clutch 3-pointer to give his Highlanders a 45-43 lead with just 3 seconds on the clock.
Yet, the Mount Rose League clash was still far from decided.
Bryce Bronken was fouled on the inbound pass, and the Whittell sophomore calmly hit both pressure free throws – with a raucous Incline student section trying its best to distract him – to knot the score at 45.
After an Incline turnover on the ensuing inbound, Whittell's senior sharp shooter, Austin Neil, came up short on a well-defended 3-point attempt, sending the game into overtime.
Neil hit his next 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 48-46 lead early in the overtime period. But Incline sophomore Jack Bessette answered with a runner in the lane, and senior captain Rob Rubsamen followed with a steal and two free throws to give the Highlanders a 50-48 lead.
Bronken scored in the paint to tie the game for the final time at 50-all. Rubsamen then made the front end of a one-and-one and missed the second with 1:04 remaining, and Incline held on for the win after a final shot attempt by Neil sailed long.
"We had a lot of mistakes early," said Whittell coach Phil Bryant. "Everyone thinks it comes down to the last shot, but missing our free throws and letting them have open 3s early hurt us. I'm disappointed from the aspect that we didn't execute in the first five minutes. But I'm proud of the kids. They played hard and had a good time."
Kelly said he also was proud of his players, particularly Clouthier for his go-ahead 3-pointer and Rubsamen for coming up with two key steals that he converted into points – including a pick-pocket swipe of Neil and layup with 50 seconds left in regulation that put Incline on top.
"We hit some humongous shots. Rob Rubsamen came up huge with a couple of big steals and free throws. I'm proud of all the guys," Kelly said. "They're a bunch of young bucks playing hard and having fun."
The game started off as a 3-point parade as Incline jumped out to a 9-3 lead behind the outside touch of Christian Biscotti, Drew Bessette and Clouthier. After Incline stretched its lead to 13-7 early in the second quarter, Bronken scored six straight points to tie the score for the first time at 13.
The lakeside rivals traded leads throughout the second and third quarters, with Incline surging ahead by as many as seven points by halftime before the Warriors stormed back with a 10-2 run early in the third.
Whittell again fell behind by eight points midway through the fourth, and again the Warriors battled back with an 8-0 run, all by Neil, to pull even at 40-40. Then came Rubsamen's crucial steal with less than a minute, followed by Chaplin and Clouthier's big 3-pointers.
"They kept fighting. They're a good team," Clouthier said. "They played us hard and we played them hard. It was an all-around good game."
Clouthier led all scorers with 17 points, including four 3-pointers, while Jack Bessette scored nine points, Biscotti had eight and Rubsamen seven. Bronken led the Warriors with 16 points, Neil had 14 and Chaplin had 10. Both Chaplin and Neil hit three 3-pointers apiece.
Incline improved to 12-12 overall and 4-5 in Mount Rose League play while Whittell fell to now 12-10 overall and 2-7 in league. Both teams are heading to the Northern Division III regional tournament, which is scheduled for Feb. 15-16 at Elko High School. Seedings have yet to be determined.
UP NEXT: The boys close out regular season play at home against South Tahoe High School, Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Whittell 7 10 13 15 5 – 50
Incline 11 13 11 10 6 – 51

Moving Toward Carbon Neutrality
A version of this article appears in the Climate Solutions Special Issue issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2008
In July 2007, Affordable Comfort, Incorporated, (ACI) convened a summit in San Francisco, which was called "Moving Existing Homes Toward Carbon Neutrality." The goal of the summit was to create and clarify a vision of deep energy savings—a 70% to 90% reduction in total energy use—in existing single-family and multifamily dwellings. This level of reduction is achievable now through a combination of technical interventions and behavioral choices. While not all homes will be good candidates for deep energy reductions, we at ACI propose that the deep energy reduction paradigm can and should provide the framework for viewing energy and carbon reductions at a household, program, and policy level. Indeed, the growing awareness of the probable impacts of climate change makes it compelling to adopt deep energy reductions as the basis for developing energy and housing-related policy and investing resources. Properly implemented, the deep energy reduction paradigm has the potential to reduce energy vulnerability and climate change's environmental impact, both at the national level and at the level of the individual home, while enhancing the comfort, indoor air quality (IAQ), and durability of that home. The technology for achieving ambitious reductions exists—or most of ...

Testing genealogy knowledge
10 December, 2010 at 5:38 pm 1 comment
This week I prepared my first exam, for the 'Australian Births, Deaths and Marriages' course for the National Institute for Genealogical Studies. I actually found it surprisingly difficult, partly because I remember sitting many exams in the past & finding fault with multiple choice questions where answers could be argued.
How do you measure somebody's skills at using births, deaths and marriages indexes, and interpreting certificates? I didn't want all answers to be found in the notes. (Although knowing "What year did civil registration start in NSW?" – 1856 – might be useful, because there is usually more information on a civil birth certificate than the early church records baptism certificate.)
I believe that effectively using BDM indexes is more about your searching skills and being able to analyse and look for clues in the results found. Such skills improve over time – perhaps because after falling into a trap you are less likely to do so next time.
In this exam I tested skills like recognising the possibility of spelling variations, where you won't find the birth if you search for the name exactly as it appeared in the death index (using a wildcard helps). Or linking that bride named Annie with the birth of a daughter named Ann.
I think these are the real skills of researching family history. Not jumping to conclusions when you stumble on one person who happens to have the right name and is born in the right place, before looking to see if they might have died as an infant and so could not possibly be the groom in a marriage 25 years later. Alternatively if you look and don't find, then thinking about how else to search.
Researchers need to be aware that just because the marriage certificate said they married at age 20, doesn't mean it's true. I always start searching a range of dates and increase or decrease the range if necessary. One couple in my family had 5 children and then were married. (The bride was previously married and could not remarry until after the death of her first husband.) I would not have found the marriage if I only looked before the birth of their first child.
One skill that improves over time that I did not test in this exam, is handwriting recognition. (Ironically someone in my family has dreadful handwriting and he is fantastic at helping me interpret old hard-to-read handwriting.)
What do you think of this? (I remember how hard I found this at first, but now it seems not bad.)

I've Got a New Recipe for Peach Pie Muffins
Each pecan crumb-topped muffin gives way to a moist, cakey inside that is studded with bits of fresh, juicy, sweet peaches. Oh, and did I mention there's no crust to roll out? Yeah, baby.
Peach Pie Muffins
Makes 12 regular size muffins.
Print recipe only here.
Pecan Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup light brown sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup fresh diced peaches with skins
1. Place rack in center of oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12 mold regular size muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. To make the crumb topping, in a small bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and pecans, and toss until well combined. Pour melted butter evenly over mixture, and using your fingers, quickly toss and pinch the mixture until little pebbly pieces form. Refrigerate while making the muffins.
3. Combine flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl, and stir well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, honey, sugar, butter, eggs, ginger, and vanilla, and whisk well. Add to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in peaches.
5. Spoon the batter evenly into the into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle pecan crumb topping evenly over the muffin tops. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes before removing each muffin and placing on a wire rack to cool.

Okay, here's my problem. The last time I tried to make something that called for fresh peaches, I only ended up getting about half as much flesh off the fruit as I needed because It was too stuck to the seed in the center, and the juice just completely ran down to my elbows.
How do you get good amounts of flesh out of the fresh fruit?

That muffin looks gorgeous, Susan. I love the crunch of crumb or streusel topping.
Wish that wasn't just a picture but the real thing. Would have made my day! :)

maria-I adore them too!
janelle-Perhaps it was too ripe? When cutting it, try slicing a square around the stone, so that the fruit comes off in four wedges. Then you don't have to deal with the stone at all.
aparna-I wish you could come over and have one with me. :)
danielle-Now, why didn't I think of that?
anh-Thank you!

lynda-Have a great time!
codfish-Me too. Plus I think it lends a little extra flavor.
ali-I couldn't agree with you more!
foodhunter-I hope you like it as much as I do!

Editor's note: The following is a first-person account of Foster's Web Editor Janine Mitchell's experience writing the Sunday series on breast cancer, and also her family's dealings with cancer.
I had a pit in my stomach and anxious feeling in my chest as the idea for a Breast Cancer Awareness Month series went unassigned. Somehow feeling like I had a personal responsibility to make sure it got done, my heart spoke for me and I said I'd do it.
Spending most of September and October meeting many brave and courageous women, I felt closer to my mother than ever. I spoke with survivors, family members of cancer patients, medical professionals and patient advocates to write this series, and understand it from as many angles as possible. Honestly, a couple times — after staying strong and displaying a comfortable, empathetic demeanor — I left the interview and I cried like a baby the whole way home.
My mom died from cancer two years ago.
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her early 20s, my dad had already helped her through her first cancer treatments before they were even married. Though he may not have known what was coming, his love for her was worth it. She went years, sometimes decades, without a sign of the "C word," but it never went away. Upon their wedding day, she and my dad knew they wouldn't be able to conceive children because of the damage from her ovarian cancer. But my dad says, "It became a fact of life for us and we dealt with it ... I loved her so much it didn't matter." And, after a lengthy adoption process, my sister and I joke, they finally "bought" us.
Mom's sickness popped up at precise times during her life. She was healthy throughout most of our childhood, unless she hid it extremely well, and cancer didn't strike again until I was about 14 years old. Whether it was an act of God's grace — blessing her for attending church every Sunday despite her partial social agenda for doing so — or a phenomenal coincidence, she always seemed to be well and sick at the right times — if there is such a thing.
Her best friend and confidante, Sandy, lived next door. Through the wooded path worn down by bare feet of summer and clunky winter boots, we'd wander into her beautifully manicured backyard full of gardens, an Elwood Road legend.
Cancer plopped itself down in the middle of Sandy's life, too, and my mom was healthy and helpful when Sandy was sick, knowing just the right amount of assistance. They were like a relay race tag-team of inspiration, tossing the "cancer ball" back and forth. It wasn't until Sandy passed away, and my sister and I were somewhat grown up, that the last and final 6-year attack slowly blew my mom's constantly glowing flame to a flicker.
Meeting with cancer patient advocates and navigators during this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I felt incredibly close to the processes my mom went through — knee-buckling news, countless appointments, and hours spent hooked up to IV chemotherapy drips.
Survivor Dianne McMillen explained the "comfort in the johnnie room" where fellow patients got to know each other well, offering advice and support while sitting for hours of chemo treatments. Talking with cancer survivors I saw a bit of Mom in each of them — their temerity, eagerness toward every day, and appreciation for every ounce of kindness and handmade gift sent their way.
Dawnalee Holt, a survivor from Epping, said her life before and after cancer were not much different, which took me back. Then, as I thought more about it, I realized the similarity to my mom's outlook. In fact, when she died she was officially on "sick leave" from work, not admitting her onward climb up the stairway to heaven to anyone, even herself. As Ed Johnson, cancer survivor and founder of the Pease Greeters said, "This is just another event in my life, another thing to happen to me."
She never wanted life to be any different. Mom never said, "after I die," it was always, "when I get better."
I've always thought my mom's calm but bold attitude outshone all others. She knew when to put her foot down, and when to let it slide — even if her cardiologist could pinpoint theXX date and time she was at a stressful, tight-lipped meeting because her pacemaker went crazy.
Though the elementary students in the school where she taught shivered in their little outgrown jeans when Mrs. Mitchell shrieked, "Walk in the hallway!," I admired her.
I admired the way she mentally carried herself (because physically she was a bit hunched, but adorable nonetheless) and her simplistic "it's-not-necessary" lifestyle.
But, one of my biggest regrets is not telling her — or not knowing how.
My sister was always good at that, going to Mom with a problem and letting her help fix it. But for me, emotional issues causing anyone else to worry, something not fixable on my own with a little productivity and multitasking, gets filed away into my precisely-organized, manila-brain folder labeled "I'll be OK."
I closely identified with Bernie Shultz's story, the second-week feature of the breast cancer series, when she explained her daughter's "normal reaction" to Bernie having cancer.
Her daughter basically ran from it, and Bernie explained, "No one wants to watch their parent die." Though, I'm not sure of our exact similarities, I also just couldn't watch my mom suffer.
I inherited the "I'll be OK" trait from her, a woman who rarely complained, and never uttered a bad word about anyone. So, naturally, watching the rock in your life crumble to sand is a terribly confusing thing.
But, I was lucky ... ish. Though I didn't quite understand or realize my reaction to knowing she was going to die, I think my sister, mom and dad did. My sister never made me feel guilty for the hours she spent at my mom's side, being her live-in nurse in the last months of her life.
And, although I cherished every moment I was home from college in Boston, and it hurt like hell to go back, avoiding watching her die was my natural reaction.
As a child, I remember trembling in my bed, crying myself to sleep with my hands over my ears when my dad was violently ill with migraines — tempted to sleep outside just so I didn't have to hear it. This was kind of like that, only now as an adult, I had more control over my presence.
To put the nail in the coffin (OK, dry-sense-of-humor pun intended), my mom didn't pass away until I left home for another week of school, and I'm strangely thankful for that. I'm not sure I could have handled being in the same house, watching my mom take her last breath.
I got the phone call from my dad, on my way up five already-breath-taking flights of stairs to my Chinatown apartment, and my immediate reaction was sadness for him having lost his high school sweetheart, saying, "Dad, I'm so sorry."
After a brief conversation about how I'd make it home to New Hampshire, he asked if I wanted the coroners to take her body or wait until I got home. It was that moment when I realized what he and my sister had just gone through, sitting and comforting my mom as life left her body. But, still, I couldn't do it — I told him to have them take her.
A similar situation arose this September, only this time I decided to be braver. My dad, sister and I finally buried my mom's ashes two long years after she died. This time, when my dad asked, "Do you want me to screw the box closed before you get here, or do you want to see her ashes?" I hesitated.
He said, "I'll take your apprehension as, you want to wait."
My sister and I switched roles as I peeked into the box full of ashes and she refused to. Praying with all my might I didn't sneeze, I looked at my mom's remains, unsure of what I expected from it.
It was weird.
It was weird to think every piece of advice, every memory, every weeknight meal, every belly laugh, every time she got silly off a little Kahlua and milk, every quilt she spent months making, every child she helped, had literally turned to dust.
Though still it is weird to say, "My mom died," after I know she put up a hard fight — just as breast cancer survivors Bernie, Wendy, Dawnalee, Ed and Terri have. Even through the pain and countless uncomfortable nights she still didn't want to die. She loved life more than anyone I know. She loved two adopted daughters unconditionally, loved being a "Mitchell," and loved watching her students grow.
I may not have said this in first grade or even when I started college, but when I grow up, I want to be like my mom.
Though we work tirelessly to raise funds and patients muscle through nauseous days to get rid of cancer, the truth is, it never really leaves.
Either the survivor is stuck with life-long treatment, or they do Jimmy fund walks every now and then, or they wind up starting their own foundation — cancer sticks around.
After the grief of loved ones settles, and the trauma of treatment and surgeries subsides, cancer can ultimately bring out the best in people.
It reminds us to stay in the moment. For the terror cancer causes, it really does some great things.
Though it's still strange to me that my boyfriend of more than a year never met or has any real-world tangible context of who my mom was, I'm a better person for him and for anyone else I meet in the future, because of it.
A phrase I often catch myself rattling off, which wound up being a "mantra" of our relationship, may not have been part of my vocabulary pre-death of my mom.
After one year of suffering, another year beginning to heal, and now understanding the brevity of life, I say, "Do what you feel."

Searching for an attorney can be time consuming. We don't hire attorneys often. Also we don't generally ask friends or family for help with legal matters. So we don't ask for recommendations for lawyers. Fortunately the legal world has changed a lot and there are some online sites to find attorneys. We've used these every year or so and we like the attorney's we've been able to hire online. Here's more about how to do an attorney search and find the legal representation in Sahuarita, AZ that you need.
If you're looking for an attorney in Sahuarita, AZ or want to find a lawyer to ask legal questions, go to . What is . ? Avvo is a website to help you find an attorney and get legal advice. Your other options to find an attorney are the yellow pages or go to the Arizona state bar association websites.
What types of legal topics will attorneys on . answer? Here is a partial list below. But you'll want to go to the . site to see if your question is covered.
What's great about . is that you can post a question in the site and get a free answer back. The answers are provided by experienced attorneys. You'll be able to read the answer and see if this is the type of advice that you're looking for. Get free legal advice from experienced attorneys.
To locate an attorney in . you should look through the site. You will want to look for attorneys that practice where you live or where your legal question pertains. For example, if you have an employment question the company you work for is located in California you may want to select an attorney in California. Here is more information on selecting an attorney.
To locate an attorney you can look by location or specialty. For example, if you're looking for an attorney in California, Michigan, Florida, Georgia or New York you can select the state. This is generally a good idea to select the state where your legal question pertains. For example, if you have a speeding ticket in Philadelphia you will want to hire an attorney who practices in that state and city.
Attorneys generally specialize in specific areas. Some attorneys will work outside their main area but you really want someone who specializes in your area.
Former clients of lawyers will write reviews of their experiences. This is very helpful in understanding the level and type of service the attorney provides. Most reviews will be positive and that's understandable. Attorneys have a chance to review and approve the review before it is posted online. However, if you see many positive reviews you will know that the lawyer is trending positive and providing good service to their clients. If you see few reviews then you will know that you may need to avoid the attorney or simply ask the lawyer why there are so few reviews?

text: Share: July 31, 2011 Dear Friends of the Cary Institute:The Cary Institute is abuzz with summer activity. Field assistants and students from across the country have joined our ranks for long days of research in the streams, forests, fields, and wetlands that make up our 2,000-acre campus. Earlier this year, the Institute received a five-year renewal of its Research Experience for Undergraduates program. This National Science Foundation–funded effort provides students with hands-on research experiences, which so often lead to a life-long career in science. Our REU program has been active for nearly 25 years, and many of our graduates are positioned at the frontlines of ecology.I hope you have been able to attend one of our public programs. They are part of the Cary Institute's growing emphasis on translating science to citizens. Recent highlights have included talks by Cary Institute scientist Peter Groffman, Natural Resources Defense Council president Frances Beinecke, environmentalist and 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben, and Duke University scientist Rob Jackson. Summer lectures will feature climatologist Michael Mann and Nature Conservancy chief scientist Peter Kareiva.Through our public lecture series and Science and Management Forums, which you can learn more about on page 3, the Cary Institute seeks to alert the Hudson Valley community to the environmental problems facing society. Strong attendance has been testimony to the region's interest.Outreach programs supplement the basic research done every day at the Cary Institute, where we have recently published papers documenting the importance of watershed inputs to aquatic food webs, the impact of harvesting forest biomass for renewable energy in the Northeast, and the link between Lyme disease risk and the diversity of animal populations. Each of these studies informs policymakers who must decide among difficult and often conflicting alternatives for natural resource management. Good science should underlie all policy decisions—a point we stressed to Congressman Chris Gibson, who visited the Cary Institute in mid-May. With your support, we stand ready to provide the best, unbiased science on important environmental issues that face all of us.Enjoy summer! Share: Feature From our President › July 31, 2011
