Support for grieving adults
For those who have lost a loved one, you should know our Pastoral Care Department can appreciate how devastated you are. We would like to offer support, help and encouragement to you and your family.
Perhaps for a variety of reasons, you hesitate to share your deep feelings of grief or you feel cautious of tiring others with your concerns, or it's just too difficult to share with someone the magnitude of what you are facing. Whatever holds you back, we know that it means a great deal to talk about your loss and to feel understood. It is one of the most vital means of letting you know that you will survive and feel whole again.
Our Adult Bereavement Program is held on six consecutive Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. Gatherings take place in spring and fall. For special dates, contact Pastoral Care at 708.229.4299.

Foundries tangled in capex arms race
Keywords:foundry capex? wafer fab? capital spending race?
It was a reckless practice, as many vendors built fabs in spite of the IC downturns. But in recent times, the foundries have become more conservative in capital spending as a means to avoid dreaded capacity gluts.
Now, many foundries appear to be reverting to past tactics. Many foundry vendors are engaged in a capital spending war or "arms race," said C.J. Muse, an analyst with the Barclays Capital, in a new report.
Three vendors—GlobalFoundries, Samsung and TSMC—appear to be engaged in a new capital spending race in an effort to gain share in current and future cycles. The trends could be a problem for the other digital foundries, such as SMIC, UMC and others, many of which cannot keep up with the spending race and will likely fall behind the curve.
The question is clear: Who will be left standing when it's all said and done? TSMC, GlobalFoundries and Samsung will survive, observers said. UMC and SMIC could hit the wall and/or may get acquired, they added.
"We have been advocating for some time that meaningful foundry spending, initiated by TSMC's earlier yield problems, continues to be sustained by the emerging foundry arms race," Muse said. "This competition is fueled by the disruptive presence of technically competent GlobalFoundries with a working 32nm process and Samsung's growing presence through its System LSI business, having recently won away Xilinx business from UMC/Toshiba."
The analyst was referring to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd, which had problems ramping up its 40nm process due to yield issues. TSMC claims that the problem has been resolved.
As reported earlier this year, Xilinx Inc. said it will use leading foundry TSMC as one of two foundry suppliers for its 28nm FPGAs, a major strategy shift that has been the subject of industry rumors and analyst speculation for weeks.
Xilinx said it is using TSMC and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd's foundry division to make 28nm parts. Xilinx' shift to TSMC is a bitter pill for rival foundry United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), which has been a foundry supplier to Xilinx for more than a decade.

SCSO: K-9 takes down DUI suspect in woods after crash
Felix Zepahua in custody
A man who ran into the woods after being involved in two collisions and flipping his car was arrested after he was taken down by a K-9 as he tried to evade officers, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to Highway 129 near Green Road by Highway Patrol troopers who were at the scene of a wreck.
Troopers said a driver, later identified as Felix Zepahua, was most likely intoxicated, and he had run his car into two other vehicles and then flipped his car, injuring his passenger.
They said Zepahua had run into nearby woods, and they were unable to find him.
The deputy used his K-9, Bruno, to track Zepahua from his rolled over vehicle into the woods. The deputy said he lost sight of Bruno, who was on a 30-foot leash, in the thick brush. He said he then heard a man yelling, "Save me. Save me," and he located Zepahua, who was on his back on the ground with Bruno biting his upper arm.
Zepahua was taken into custody by the Highway Patrol. He was transported to the hospital for treatment of several puncture wounds in his upper arm, according to the police report.
Zepahua was charged with DUI hit and run and not having a South Carolina driver's license, third offense.

Because the number of influenza cases has significantly increased throughout the region, children age 12 and under may not visit patients effective Wednesday, January 8. This applies to all Wake Forest Baptist inpatient locations and will remain in effect until the number of flu cases decreases significantly.Learn More.
Even experienced babysitters may feel a little intimidated at the thought of looking after a child with special needs. Relax! Knowing what to expect gives you the confidence to do a good job, just as it does when you care for any child.
Here's what you need to know about three common conditions:
Autism is a developmental disorder that makes it hard to communicate or interact with other people. Some kids have autism that is mild; others have autism that is severe.
Children with autism can have trouble understanding subtle directions and requests. They may become overwhelmed by busy and noisy environments. And, sometimes, they do not enjoy being touched.
Because every kid is different, ask the child's parents what to expect and what kinds of things the child enjoys doing.
Here are some things to know:
Know how to deal with difficulties: Ask the parents how to handle it if the child becomes upset or agitated. In general, as long as the child isn't hurting himself or anyone else, it's best to roll with the tantrum. Keep the child safe and close to you. If the child starts to settle down, you might bring out a favorite toy and start playing with it to create a distraction.
Some children with autism might calm down when cuddling a special stuffed animal. Others might respond well to sitting in a rocking chair with you or swinging on the backyard swing set.
Down syndrome is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically.
Like other children with developmental delays, kids with Down syndrome often seem younger than they are. Their skills are often behind those of other kids, but they may enjoy the same types of toys and games. You might need to adapt to play at their level of understanding.
Know how to deal with difficulties: To keep things consistent for the child, ask the parents about family rules and stick to them.
Children with ADHD often have lots of energy and can get wound up quickly. Their attention span for activities might be shorter than that of other children, so plan many activities and use them as needed.
Know how to deal with difficulties: It might help to provide the child with a schedule of what you'll be doing, especially if your visit is lengthy. Children with ADHD sometimes have trouble switching gears. That means playing a boisterous game of tag right before naptime might not work. If you know some calming strategies and have activities prepared for your visit, you and the child can relax and enjoy yourselves.
Children with special needs can be very sweet and loving. And it's great babysitting experience to learn how to care for kids who have different abilities. Seeing the world through a special child's eyes can change the way you look at life!

Liverpool 0 West Ham 0
Liverpool were held to a goalless draw at home to West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round, adding yet another fixture to their packed schedule.
A replay in east London next month was probably the last thing manager Jurgen Klopp wanted, having just completed a run of nine matches in 29 days in January.
It will, at least, give some of his promising youngsters another run-out with the first team, with 19-year-old Cameron Brannagan the best outfield player on the pitch at Anfield.
However, with the Europa League to restart and a Capital One Cup final appearance, secured on Tuesday, meaning they have a Merseyside derby to reschedule, any additional games are unwelcome.
These two teams had played out a classic cup final in Cardiff in 2006, memorable for Steven Gerrard's late long-range equaliser, but with the Reds' once-influential captain now long gone and playing his trade in the United States there were few players to lift the game above the ordinary.
West Ham's own dangerman Dimitri Payet, included in a strong starting XI, had one of his quieter days and Reds goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was not overly exerted.
Not so Darren Randolph, West Ham's back-up keeper, who produced one excellent save from Brannagan in the first half and succession of blocks after the break.
West Ham could have taken an early lead only for Enner Valencia to make a complete mess of his diving free header, almost sending it out for a throw-in from a cross by Aaron Cresswell. The full-back proved his worth at the other end by clearing Christian Benteke's flick-on off the line.
Shortly before the break James Tomkins, after a clash of heads with Joe Allen, and midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate departed to injury to disrupt the visitors' plans and from then Liverpool – a Pedro Obiang volley excepted – held the initiative.
Allen blazed over and Joao Teixeira twice had shots batted away by Randolph, who also denied Allen and Benteke – twice – within seconds of each other.
Benteke, once again ineffectual, produced a contender for miss of the match to rival Valencia's early effort when he mis-kicked Kevin Stewart's cross and succeeded in only steering his effort across the six-yard box.
Desperation increasingly crept in as Liverpool tried to force the goal which would avoid another game and that gave the Hammers a glimmer of an opportunity but they could not break through either.

Von Miller on drug suspension: 'I did nothing wrong'
- Miller%2C the No. 2 pick in the 2011 draft%2C finished second in defensive MVP voting in 2012
- Team spokesman Patrick Smyth told USA TODAY Sports the team was aware of the report
- With the loss of Elvis Dumervil%2C Broncos were looking for Miller to take a larger leadership role
The Denver Broncos could lose their best defensive player for the start of the 2013 NFL season.
All-pro outside linebacker Von Miller is appealing a four-game suspension for a violation of a league policy. The NFL Players Association confirmed it is assisting Miller in the appeal, which union spokesman George Atallah said is not for performance enhancing drugs.
The Denver Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that Miller tested positive for marijuana and amphetamines in 2011, his rookie season. Under the NFL's substance abuse policy, players who test positive for recreational or illegal prescription drugs are not suspended after the first positive test but are punished for positive tests once in the league's drug program.
Miller, posting via his verified Twitter account, claimed innocence, and wrote that he was disappointed his team will "open camp like this."
"I know I did nothing wrong," Miller wrote. "I'm sure this will be resolved fairly."
The Broncos, citing confidentiality laws, declined comment, but team spokesman Patrick Smyth told USA TODAY Sports the team was aware of the ESPN report.
HGH TESTING:Coming in training camp
Messages left for Miller's agent at Athletes First have not been returned.
Atallah said via Twitter that the union is "working closely" with Miller to appeal the suspension. "We are all very disappointed that confidentiality was breached," Atallah wrote.
The NFL and NFLPA do not announce suspensions until after the appeals process is concluded, and those who violate confidentiality can be fined at least $10,000.
Miller, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2011 draft, finished second in defensive MVP voting in 2012 after a season in which he had 18½ sacks. He has 30 sacks in two seasons.
With the loss of defensive end Elvis Dumervil in free agency following a fiasco with a fax machine in March, the Broncos were looking for Miller to increase his production and take a larger leadership role. His potential suspension would be an even bigger blow.
If Miller's appeal is not successful, the Broncos will play the Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles without him to start the season.
The Broncos signed veteran outside linebacker Shaun Phillips to help account for the loss of Dumervil, but Phillips could now assume Miller's role instead. Denver coaches listed him as Miller's backup during offseason workouts, though Phillips did much of his work at defensive end.
A Broncos defensive player, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because a suspension has not been announced, said he was unaware of Miller having any issues with drugs.
"I don't think many people knew much," the player said. "No one talked about it."
It will certainly be a major issue when players report to training camp Wednesday. They will practice for the first time Thursday.
Miller is eligible to practice while his appeal is being heard. If suspended, he would be allowed to participate in camp and preseason games before starting a suspension on the first day of the first week of the regular season.
The news of Miller's suspension is just the latest in a string of bad news for the Broncos in recent weeks. Two of vice president John Elway's top personnel executives, Matt Russell and Tom Heckert, were arrested on separate incidents of drunk driving, and both have been suspended. Heckert, who joined the Broncos in May after being fired as general manager of the Cleveland Browns, was suspended for a month. Russell's suspension is indefinite.
The Broncos also had to deal with the embarrassing fashion in which they lost Dumervil, a three-time Pro Bowler and the 2009 NFL sacks leader. Dumervil had agreed to take a pay cut, but his revised contract was not received via fax before a hard deadline in which his 2013 salary would have become guaranteed. Rather than pay him $12 million, the Broncos cut him. Dumervil later chose to sign with the Baltimore Ravens.

College is expensive, but being a student comes with certain perks besides staying up late and sleeping in until your 3pm class. Retail stores offer some great discounts to students that can save you a ton of money. Don't miss out on these amazing student offers!
IN PICTURES: 6 Ways To Fund A College Education
Every college student needs a computer. Dell and Apple are two technology companies which offer discounts to students. Dell discounts vary and can be found via Dell University. The Apple store's "education pricing" applies a 10% discount for college students, as well as grade-school educators. (The Analytical Engine Sir Charles Babbage started down the road that led to computers in the early 1800s. Learn more, in From Beads To Binary: The History Of Computing.)
Cell Phones
Some universities have connected with cell phone carriers to provide student discounts. T-Mobile offers an 8-15% discount on monthly bills to students at certain schools. Sprint offers a 10% discount on selected plans for students at certain schools.
Holidays and spring break aren't the only times when students travel. Greyhound Bus Lines offers a 20% discount through Student Advantage. Amtrak offers a 15% discounts to students who have a Student Advantage or International Student Identification Card (ISIC). Discounted airfares can be found through online travel agencies such as Student Universe and STA Travel. (Although high fuel prices and threats of terrorism have scared many individuals out of airline stocks, the astute investor can still make money in the sector. Find out more, in Is That Airline Ready For Lift-Off?)
Several retailers offer discounts to students. For instance, J. Crew offers a 15% discount with ID, the discount only applies to fully priced merchandise. Over the July 23 weekend, Old Navy extended a 25% discount to students and teachers. Back-to-school specials from other retailers will soon follow.
There may be a gym on campus, but if you want to continue to work out away from school, then being a student can work to your advantage. Many YMCA branches offer reduced joiner fees and monthly membership fees for full-time students. You may be required to provide proof of active enrollment in addition to your ID card in order to receive the discount. (Blood, sweat and tears should belong in the gym, but your money deserves some training time too. Read more, in Get Your Budget In Fighting Shape.)
A trip to the movies seems to get more expensive every year, jumping 8% last year. Being a student may provide you with a discount of up to 25% in some theaters, so be sure to pack your student ID card to take advantage of the deal. If you aren't in a rush, you can wait for the movie to come to your college theater for an even larger discount.
Bank Accounts
Banks know most students do not have a lot of money to work with. As a result, they often provide free or discounted services. They must know you are a student in order to receive the perks, such as free checking, no minimum balance or a free ATM card. Some universities have relationships with specific banks, and offer the convenience of ATMs and/or branch locations on campus. (Lack of organization can harm your finances as much or more than being short on cash. Find out more, in 8 Steps To An Organized Financial Life.)
Discount Clubs
Student Advantage is a discount program that offers its members special deals. The card carries a membership fee, depending on for how many years you subscribe. Discounts apply to several sectors, including travel, technology and health. Some larger companies with discounts available through Student Advantage include Macy's, Pearle Vision and Barnes & Noble.
Concerts & Games
Campuses with sports and entertainment facilities typically offer substantial discounts on admission to on-campus activities. Sometimes, the discount may come along with conditions. For example, seating may be limited to certain sections. For football games, it may be the end zone and for concerts it may be the nosebleed section, but either way, you'll have a seat for the action.
The Bottom Line
College is expensive, why not cut a few financial corners whenever possible? For best results, always carry your student ID card. Oftentimes, you will have to ask for the discount as it may be subject to change and it may not be well advertised. Ask and perhaps you shall receive. As professors often say, "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask."

Homeownership has long been a crucial pillar of the American Dream. For the better part of a century we've believed that building and buying homes is synonymous not only with the "good life" but with a productive and prosperous economy. The number of housing sales and starts is a commonly used barometer of economic health. The president, his economic advisers, and countless economists and business analysts continue to believe that economic recovery turns on the recovery of the housing market.
But with the collapse of the housing bubble so bound up with the ongoing economic crisis, a dissenting view has emerged.
Robert Shiller of Yale University documents that from "1890 to 1990, the rate of return on residential real estate was just about zero after inflation." Other studies have shown how America's historic over-investment in housing has distorted its economy, leading to under-investment in technology and skills. Or as Nobel prize-winning Columbia University economist Edmund Phelps bluntly states it: "To recover and grow again, America needs to get over its 'house passion.'"
All of this prompts a simple empirical question: To what degree is homeownership associated with the economic growth of American cities and metros? If homeownership really matters to economic development, then metros with higher rates of it should also have higher levels of income, productivity, innovation, and other good economic indicators.
To get at this I enlisted the help of my Martin Prosperity Institute colleague Charlotta Mellander. We looked at the statistical associations between the rates of homeownership and key economic development indicators like income, wages, productivity, innovation, and human capital across America's 350 or so metro areas. As usual, I point out that correlation does not equal causation; other factors we have not considered can complicate the picture.
Still, our findings seem to undercut the conventional wisdom that homeownership and economic development go together.
The economic growth and development of cities and regions is generally thought to be driven by three key factors: innovation, human capital, and productivity. Homeownership, it turns out, is not related to any of them.
Take innovation and high-tech industry. Homeownership bears little relation to either, being weakly negatively associated with the concentration of high-tech industry (-.20) and not associated at all with innovation (measured as the rate of patenting).
Or consider the percentage of college graduates or share of highly-skilled knowledge/creative jobs. Again, nothing. The arrow in fact points in the wrong direction. Homeownership is weakly negatively correlated with both the share of college grads (-.27), and with the creative class share of the labour force (-.30).
What about productivity? Once again, no connection to homeownership. Homeownership is weakly negatively associated with economic output per capita (-.19).
Photo: The Atlantic Cities
The chart above by Michelle Hopgood of the Martin Prosperity Institute helps put the matter in perspective, graphing the relationship between homeownership and per capita economic output across all U.S. metros. The pattern is frankly all over the map.
It is true that some metros like Bridgeport and Hartford, Connecticut, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Charlotte combine relatively high-rates of homeownership with high productivity. But these are the proverbial outliers.
Most metros with high levels of homeownership have relatively low rates of productivity. Indeed, large metros like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco combine relatively high output with relatively low levels of homeownership. The same is true in Silicon Valley: despite the fact that many continue to think of it as a "nerdistan," the San Jose metro provides yet another example of high productivity alongside low levels of homeownership.
Photo: The Atlantic Cities
The second chart plots the association between homeownership and wages, again across all U.S. metros. The pattern is even more striking. Higher levels of homeownership are mostly associated with lower wages.
There are just a few exceptions to this pattern: Hartford and Bridgeport, Connecticut; Trenton-Ewing, New Jersey; and greater Washington, D.C., where relatively high rates of homeownership coincide with above average wages. The highest wage metro in the country, San Jose, along with other high wage metros, San Francisco, Boston, and New York, have low rates of homeownership.
It used to be that homeownership signaled and led to economic growth. But that relationship was tied to the industrial era, when building and buying more homes primed the pump of America's great assembly-lines, increasing demand for cars, appliances, televisions, and all manner of consumer durables. Those days are gone. The United States is a now knowledge and service economy; less than 10 per cent of Americans work in some form of manufacturing and just 6.5 per cent are engaged in actually producing things. The stuff Americans buy is largely made offshore.
Instead of leading to economic development, higher rates of homeownership today are associated with lower levels of it. Homeownership is either not correlated or negatively correlated with the big drivers of economic development.
Writing recently in the Wall Street Journal, Dan Gross notes the shift in this country toward a "rentership society." But this is not to say that the U.S. is destined to become a "nation of renters." The issue is one of balance. The rate of homeownership in America hit an all-time high of near 70 per cent right before the crisis and has since dropped back to roughly 65 per cent today. The Urban Land Institute projects that it will drop back to the low 60 per cent range over the next decade or so. The rate of home ownership ranges from the mid-50s to low 60s in many of the most highly productive, innovative metros like San Jose, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. Of course some regions, like greater Washington, D.C., can support higher rates.
A homeownership rate of between 55 and 60 per cent seems to provide the flexibility of rental and ownership options required for a fast-paced, rapidly changing knowledge economy. Widespread homeownership is no longer the key to a thriving economy.

Life after Pyaar ki ye ek Kahaani
Wondered what the Pyaar ki ye ek Kahaani cast are doing now? While majority of them have serials or shows in hand, some have not been that lucky.

Update (9:37 a.m.): Updated with Monday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Oppenheimer upgraded BlackBerry (BBRY) to "perform" from "underperform." The firm made a valuation call based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation.
The stock was up 0.68% to $7.33 at 9:37 a.m. on Monday.
Must Read:Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months.Learn more.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates BLACKBERRY LTD as a "sell" with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate BLACKBERRY LTD (BBRY) a SELL. This is driven by some concerns, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- BLACKBERRY LTD has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, BLACKBERRY LTD reported poor results of -$11.17 versus -$1.20 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 531.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $98.00 million to -$423.00 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, BLACKBERRY LTD's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$564.00 million or 368.57% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 50.74%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 544.44% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

I thought it might me interesting to do some controlled searches with all three of the US-centric online databases to see how they stack up. What I mean by "controlled searches" is that I will be looking for sources I know are already there in all three databases. I decided to use names from my family lines where I have already gathered quite a few sources. I have done this before to compare online search engines such as Google and Bing, but I don't recall making the same comparison with these big data providers. The comparison is now possible because of the recent addition by MyHeritage.com of all of the U.S. Census records. Now all three search all of the records, even though FamilySearch is missing some of the images.
Of course, you all probably understand that this type of test is far from scientific and results will vary widely depending on the family selected. One issue in considering the number of results is that a large number of false positives, although initially impressive, is really meaningless. That is why I am using searches where I already know the content of the database. Another factor that cannot be taken into consideration is my personal ability to make appropriate searches. You may have a much greater ability to search than I do and your searches may show different results.
At least with the US Census Records, all three large databases have the same records, so if they search engine finds the name in the Census, it should be a good indication of the search engine and not the content.
Here it goes. I am going to use my perennial example, my Great-grandfather Henry Martin Tanner. I have found him in all of the available US Census records from 1860 to 1940. So how do they do on a first pass?
I will start with MyHeritage.com. I can search directly for records for an ancestor from his personal page or profile in my family tree. OK, the Record Match program of MyHeritage, already showed 2 records; neither of these were US Census records. So I clicked on Research this Person. There were 743,982 results. Somewhat overwhelming. I refined the search by looking for only Census and Voter Lists. The number dropped to 238,886 but the results showed Henry in the following US Census Records:
All of these on the first page of the search. Let's see how the others do.
Ancestry.com also can do a search from the person in your family tree. Of course, to duplicate this type of test, you would have to have your family tree in both programs which I happen to have. OK, so how did Ancestry.com do? Here are the results:
That's all I found on the first page of the search. Looks pretty much of a draw so far, except Ancestry.com did not seem to pick up the 1870 US Census. Oh, by the way, Ancestry.com had 490,459 results. I am not sure what the programmers think the users are going to do with all those results? But the numbers look impressive. When I filtered the results to just Census and Voter Lists, the number dropped to 71,442. But the search engine still did not find the 1870 US Census Record.
So far, neither search has found the 1860 US Census.
Now what about FamilySearch.org? In this case, the program does not do a search right out of the Family Tree program so that may put the program at a disadvantage. But I will put in more information than I would usually do for a search to see if that evens things out. Here it goes:
None of the US Census Records show up on the first page, which has, by the way, only 1,894 results. I try to filter the results by Census and Voter Records and find that I cannot do so. Hmm. What is going on here? I decide to go to the collections directly. I can filter the collections by name or by other criteria, but when I filter the collections to show only Census & Lists, I cannot search the list of filtered results which clearly contain the Census records. So, I have to search each year's census records individually.
I decide to try. I first do a search for Henry Martin Tanner in the 1860 US Census directly by searching that particular collection. The results for Henry Martin Tanner with birth place, year and residence is zero. I decide to jump to the 1880, both MyHeritage and Ancestry found him in this year on the first page of results. Again, the results are zero. No records found. So, I decide to search for just "Henry Tanner" in the same year. Maybe the "Martin" middle name is creating a problem. No records found.
It seems to me that FamilySearch is out of the running on this one. I try taking out the birth year to see what happens. Oh, that's it. I had the birth year off by one year. I put 1852 instead of 1853, but guess what? He was actually born in 1852, not 1853. So I had to take out the right birth date to find him? That is really strange. Ok, so now I go back and do the search without a birth year. Guess what? All the Census records show up.
But of course, I have the residence as Arizona so that is as far back as the search takes me. What if I take out the residence? Well there go all the results. Now I don't find anything again. What if I add back in the residence as Utah? Nope, that doesn't work.
Well, both Ancestry.com and MyHeritage.com do a credible job of finding my ancestor. But FamilySearch.org appears to have a ways to go before it catches up with the other two. Guess what? None of them found Henry in the 1940 US Census.

Comparing the search engines: FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeritage
2 comments:
I would really like this comparison repeated using a female. Pick someone who has been found under multiple surnames, and even as a lone widow. Although I don't have an on-line tree to use as a starting point, I have found that global searches tend to have trouble with changing surnames.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 1, 2016 at 8:05 PM
It would be helpful if they would let you do an exact match. My Heritage gives that many hits because it is searching many variants with different middle names, different time periods, etc. If you could customize the search it would help me.ReplyDelete

An Emotional and Financial Toll
Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. Childhood cancers affect approximately 12,500 children each year in this country. It strikes children from all ethnic backgrounds and every level of financial income.
"The results of a survey held by the American Childhood Cancer Organization tell a story of high medical expenses, overwhelming amounts of paperwork and medical bills, limits to insurance coverage, debt, high emotional stress and a lack of helpful resources.
According to the survey, 60% of families had health insurance through an employer. Yet, insurance was no guarantee against financial hardship. Half of the families surveyed said they've experienced considerable to severe household debt due to their child's treatment costs:
30% spent $2,500 to $10,000 on co-pays, pain management, mental health services, and medical equipment, among other medical related expenses 60% spent anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 on non-medical related costs, such as hospital parking, meals away from home, childcare and lodging.
Naturally, at least one parent needs to be available to care for the sick child, who no doubt spends a considerable amount of time away from school and other activities while being treated. Parents spent anywhere from 11 to 40 hours each week care-taking, and to do this, sacrificed their work life and their family's overall income at a time when money is needed more than ever."

It has been in operation for 25 years serving local producers in its USDA inspected facility. We process approximately 175-200 head of beef per week and employ approximately 45 people. March of 2006 this facility obtained its organic certification. It specializes in processing grass-fed, organic and natural cattle. It also harvests and processes hogs, lamb, goats, bison, and elk. Catering to the needs of the custom producer by private labeling and vacuum-sealed packaging Fruitland American Meat, LLC serves as a vital link in the farm-to-table marketing efforts of local and regional family farms. All animals are produced locally and raised on the open pastures of small farms. The animals are individually cared for by farmers who monitor their small herds closely. These farmers are able to identify each animal, not only by tag number but also by sight and first hand knowledge. As a local processing facility we are familiar with all these farmers as well as their farm environments. Knowledge of the farm-environments allow us to track the animal from birth to harvest. Accurate tracking provides a tremendous safety feature that is not found with larger processors. This tracking is followed all the way through the processing and allows for confident identification of the finished product. In the industrial production of beef, animals are often traded through many different owners or operations from birth to feedlot and the trail of identification is difficult if not impossible. Every animal that we slaughter is also processed in the same plant. This is a confidence and safety issue for our consumers. The larger slaughter facilities who handle over 400 head / hour, 24 hours / day have animals that arrive in large shipments from all over the country and even outside the US. The slaughter and processing in these operations are not usually handled in the same plant. Very often the meat is transferred to three or four different fabrication plants greatly increasing the risk of contamination before it reaches the store to be purchased by the consumer. During this process of transferring the meat is mixed together in large bens with no way of identifying the final product which may contain the meat of dozens of different animals. In industrial meat production the animals come from all over the country, change hands numerous times before slaughter, the beef is transferred many times in the fabricating process and there is no way for the consumer to know the origin of the meat they are purchasing.

Newbie and important question about Spain schools
Posted: 09 May 2011, 17:11
Hi everyone, lovely to be part of a TEFL teacher forum. I was born in Spain but lived from the age of 6 to the age of 15 in Australia. I´ve taught English here in Spain in various academies specially the two notorious ones that flunked, Opening and Wall Street, as well as company classes and small academies. I Left teaching around 7 years ago but I´m actually a bit sick of my administrative job and want to get back to teaching again. I don´t have the TEFL/CELTA diploma (I only have the Official School of English diploma) but what I would like to know is the following: getting that certificate, what kind of school are you able to teach at here in Spain? I know public schools are out of the question because you need English Philology degree and must pass an exam to get in. However, could someone please tell me if having the TEFL allows you to get into British Council, International House or some other prestigious school of that kind? I certainly don´t want to leave my administrative job which pays pretty well to go to a typical "neighbourhood" academy to teach little kids and get like 900 euros a month (which is mainly the conditions with these type of schools). If someone from Spain can shed some info on this, it would be very much appreciated because I want to know if it´s worth spending the 1900 euros the CELTA costs.
Thanks in advance for any answer!
Thanks in advance for any answer!

Alphacool is making great strides with the new NexXxoS GPX cooler! This new cooling concept offers optimal performance and quality at a reasonable price!
Upgrade Kit
If you buy a new graphics card and want to integrate it into your cooling loop, you won't need to buy a new graphics card cooler, which can get pretty expensive. Instead, you can save money with this Alphacool GPX Upgrade Kit. Simply unscrew the GPX cooler from the old cooling fins and mount it on the new cooling fins - that is, on the upgrade kit. For the best results in cooling performance, first remove the old thermal paste from the GPX cooler and apply a new thing layer between the GPX cooler and the new upgrade kit.
The GPU is actively cooled through ingenious new injection technology. All the other chips are sufficiently cooled through the passive cooler in which the GPU water cooler is enclosed.
Cross Slot Structure
The cross slot technology in the base plate, patented in 2004 and used in the Alphacool NexXxoS XP, has been developed further. The fins and channel structure have been refined. The remaining panes are 0.5 x 0.5mm in size and 2.5mm tall. This enables a very large and fast rate of heat transfer from the copper to the coolant.
SLI Operation
Through the outside-facing inlet and outlet, this cooler can be used in SLI configurations with little difficulty. This way, up to four graphics cards can be connected with the Alphacool GPX SLI Connector.
Every cooler now includes a backplate which uses little passive cooling fins to cool the graphics card again, as well as giving the graphics card a finished appearance and protecting it at the same time.
Cooling fins
Passive cooling happens through perfectly balanced, barely 18mm deep cooling fins, which completely cover the remaining parts of the graphics card. Light air circulation in the case means this cooler is in no way inferior to conventional coolers.
Graphics card not included
Scope of Delivery
- 1x Graphics card cooler
- 1x Backplate
- Thermal pads
- Thermal paste
- Assembly materials

This module addresses why weights are created and how they are calculated, the importance of weights in making estimates that are representative of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population, how to select the appropriate weight to use in your analysis, and how to correctly create subsets within your analysis population.
Overview: Weighting in NHANES III
Weights are created in NHANES to account for the complex survey design (including oversampling) and survey non-response and are post-stratified to Census Bureau population estimates. When a sample is weighted in NHANES III it is representative of the U.S. Census civilian non-institutionalized population. A sample weight is assigned to each sample person. It is a measure of the number of people in the population represented by that sample person.
- Key Concepts about Weighting in NHANES III
- Examples of the Effect of Not Including Sample Weights in Analyses
Task 1: Selecting the Correct Weight
To produce estimates appropriately adjusted for survey non-response, it is important to check all of the variables in your analysis and select the weight of the smallest analysis subpopulation.
- Key Concepts about Selecting the Correct Weight in NHANES III
- How to Select the Correct Weight for NHANES III Analysis
Task 2: Creating Appropriate Subsets of Data for NHANES III Analyses
In order to calculate the most accurate measure of the variance estimate, it is important to properly create subsets of your data to reflect the subpopulation of interest before using weights in your analyses.
The contents in the Continuous NHANES tutorial on this topic are applicable to both continuous NHANES and NHANES III data. Please consult the main tutorial for more detailed information.

Reading is an essential component to a successful class experience at college. Thus, in addition to tuition, room and board, you as an incoming student should be ready to purchase any number of textbooks for your classes, and thus should include these items as part of your school budget. Depending on your major, you may expect to purchase on average $300-400 of books per semester. However, some majors require texts that can be quite expensive—the Sciences and Business Administration are examples—and thus you can expect to spend $200-300 more per semester in some cases.
- If you purchase books online, you should make sure that you buy books in a timely manner so that you will have them by the first day of class. Once you register for classes, the textbook information will be available through your printed class schedule. You should make sure that the edition ordered online matches with the text edition on your class schedule.
- It is possible (but happens rarely) that texts initially in the system may change by the first day of class. If that is the case, it is your responsibility to make sure that any text you order online can be returned if it is not the right textbook.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit seeking to stop Anheuser-Busch InBev SA (ABI.BR) from buying the half of Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo GMODELOC.MX that it does not already own, saying the $20.1 billion deal could mean higher U.S. beer prices.
The government's move calls into question the future of one of the biggest deals of 2012 and a related deal that was set to change the fortunes of the world's largest wine company, Constellation Brands Inc (STZ.N). Shares of all three companies fell sharply on the news.
Despite a huge array of beers on store shelves, the beer market is dominated by two big players.
The top seller is AB InBev, which has 200 brands ranging from big names like Budweiser and Stella Artois to craft-style beers like Shock Top and Goose Island. The No. 2 player is MillerCoors, a joint venture between SABMiller Plc SAB.L and Molson Coors Brewing Co (TAP.N).
This market dominance would seem to give the big companies the power to raise prices. But, when they did, the smaller Modelo, with its popular Corona beer, often refused and took market share, the Justice Department said.
For example, Modelo declined to raise prices in California in 2010 and was "eating (Budweiser's) lunch," according to an AB InBev document quoted in the Justice Department complaint aimed at stopping the proposed transaction on the grounds that it breaks antitrust law.
AB InBev, which announced the deal for Modelo in June, said it will fight the Justice Department in federal court and called its decision to sue "inconsistent with the law, the facts and the reality of the market place."
Trading in Constellation Brands, which would have become sole owner of the company that distributes Modelo beers, was halted after it dropped 23.8 percent. It later resumed and closed down 17.4 percent at $32.36.
AB InBev's stock was the worst performer in the FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European blue-chips, .FTEU3, closing down 7.8 percent at 63.90 euros, just above a three-month low hit shortly after the Justice Department's statement.
Shares of the Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo, the largest in the country, fell to a seven-month low, down 9.5 percent to 105 pesos on the Mexican exchange. It later recovered a bit and ended the day at 108.50 pesos.
"This is a very well drafted complaint with quotes from what appear to be very damaging documents along with solid market share data," said Rob Davis, an antitrust attorney with Venable LLP. "If the division is able to prove what they say they can, then this looks like a very hard case for the parties to win."
A second expert agreed, but cautioned: "AB is going to have arguments. And I don't know what they are....This is a serious complaint by a very serious assistant attorney general."
A court battle could drag on for months, during which time deals often fall apart.
The lawsuit potentially pits the Justice Department's antitrust division against a recent former chief of that division, Christine Varney, who stepped down in 2011 to return to private practice and was among the lawyers who counseled Modelo, according to her law firm's website.
Like others who leave government service, Varney was seen as a catch for her new firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, in part because of her expected ties to those still in government.
The Obama Justice Department has stopped other major deals: AT&T's bid to buy T-Mobile, H&R Block's attempted purchase of rival TaxAct and NASDAQ OMX Group's bid for NYSE Euronext.
In 2011, the Justice Department allowed VeriFone to buy Hypercom in a settlement that it reached after suing to block it.
AB InBev, formed in 2008 when InBev bought Anheuser Busch, was the top U.S. brewer with 47 percent of the U.S. beer market going into the Modelo deal.
Because of its size the company meticulously crafted an agreement under which AB InBev would sell Modelo's 50-percent stake in Crown Imports, its U.S. distributor, to Constellation Brands for $1.85 billion. Constellation was already Modelo's partner in Crown.
Grupo Modelo is the top beer maker in Mexico. It also makes Negra Modelo and Pacifico.
AB InBev said that since it would sell Modelo's stake in Crown, its U.S. market share would be unchanged.
Through ownership of Crown, Constellation Brands would have control of the Modelo beers in the United States, including pricing, marketing and distribution. But it would buy the beer from AB InBev, and critics note that a seller usually bases their retail pricing on the cost of its products.
The supply of that product, beer, is governed by an agreement between Crown and Modelo.
In a document cited in the Justice Department complaint, an ecstatic Crown CEO Bill Hackett wrote to his employees after the deal was announced, "Our No. 1 competitor will now be our supplier. ... it is not currently or will not, going forward, be 'business as usual.'"
Bill Baer, assistant attorney general in charge of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, said that AB InBev had been told with a telephone call on Thursday morning that the department would file a lawsuit to stop the transaction.
"We had frank and candid discussions," he said. "We were just too far apart."
The deal is also opposed by small brewers, who were concerned that a more powerful competitor could make it harder for them to get their beers distributed.
Beverage industry consultant Tom Pirko, of Bevmark Consulting in Santa Barbara, California said he thinks AB InBev should be able to reach a deal with the government if it agrees to change the supply agreement to allow for stricter price management.
"How do you strengthen that provision to make absolutely certain that the control of pricing on the shelf is such that they can't use Crown as a pawn?" he asked.
Constellation, one of the world's largest wine companies, will be the big loser if the deal falls apart, said Morningstar analyst Kenneth Perkins.
"I think ABI probably anticipated some pushback so they probably have a Plan B and a Plan C," he said. "The downside for Constellation is more significant. The Crown deal was pretty good for them. This would be a huge loss."
But Andrew Holland, a drinks analyst at Societe Generale, noted that the major attraction of the deal was that AB InBev hoped to take advantage of Modelo's fast-growing Mexican business.
"If the deal fails it's awful. I'm sure they will try to find something that satisfies the DOJ," he said.
The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It is United States of America v. Anheuser-Busch InBev and Grupo Modelo. The case is No. 13-cv-00127.

Silicon Valley Isn't Ignoring China; It's Looking For The Opportunity
from the looking-for-opportunities,-not-threats deptEchoing some of Rebecca McKinnon's claims that we discussed recently, VentureBeat is running an OpEd piece by Rebecca A. Fannin, claiming that Silicon Valley has its head in the sand about the rising "threat" of competition in China. While there certainly may be some folks who aren't paying attention to China, my take on the situation is quite different.
Silicon Valley, as a broad generalization, doesn't worry about "threats." Instead, it tries to treat them all as opportunities. So, if Fannin is upset to see folks focusing on Twitter and the iPhone rather than the fact that China is building up a healthy and rapidly innovating tech economy, she may be focusing on the wrong thing. It does little to "fret" about the next big threat. There are always people warning about this or that big threat. A dozen years ago, it was how Japan was going to take over the tech industry. That didn't exactly happen. Sitting around and worrying about a threat doesn't make much sense.
Instead, it makes sense to pay attention to opportunities. And, many, many, many people in Silicon Valley view China as a huge opportunity. And, yes, new companies and technologies will flow out of China -- and it will present formidable competition -- but, again, competition isn't a real threat, it's an opportunity to do something even better and more innovative. So, I'd disagree with the assertion that Silicon Valley has its head in the sand about the rise of Chinese innovation. We're just focusing on how to make them opportunities.

MaineYankee It was an interest in statistics that led Lawrence M. Walsh to accounting when he entered the University of Notre Dame in 1937. It was an instinctive grasp of the importance of human relationships that influenced his career within Haskins & Sells and led to his present post as partner in charge of the Miami office. Born in Portland, Maine ("My father was a railroad man who observed the work ethic"), Larry Walsh is a man of strong opinions on a broad range of topics, opinions based solidly on professional expertise and a recognition that the most effective accountant is one who can work as well with people as with numbers. In the late 1930s the number of colleges and universities offering majors in accounting was limited, and H&S recruiting efforts focused on the few schools that graduated accountants with a high level of training. One of the best of these was Notre Dame which, in just the four years during which Larry Walsh attended, was alma mater to EO partners Tom Hogan and Phil Sandmaier, San Francisco PIC Tom Graves, and Detroit PIC Lou MacKenzie. In fact Lou, Larry, and now-deceased partners Fred Voglewede (Mexico City) and Bill Sturm (Memphis) were all members of the class of 1941 at Notre Dame. Offered a position with H&S in his senior year, Larry accepted and in July of 1941 came east for a year's training period, split between classroom work and assignments in the New York office report department. With his New England background, he had set his sights on a transfer to Boston at the end of the year. Like millions of other Americans, Larry found his plans changed and future affected by the outbreak of the Second World War. Because the military services were calling up large numbers of draftees, H&S offices across the country found themselves shorthanded. Four months after Larry started with the Firm, Cincinnati issued an emergency call for a staff accountant. Lured by the office's outstanding reputation as a training ground for new accountants, Larry volunteered and was accepted for the position. "We really had to produce in those days," he recalls. "There was too much work and too few people." After only a year with the Firm, Larry found himself the accountant in charge on several engagements."In charge in those days meant just that," he said. "After I finished field work on an engagement, I often came back to the office and typed the reports." The war finally caught up with him three years after his arrival in Cincinnati. Drafted into the Army, Sergeant Walsh spent the next two years training infantry recruits. During his years in Cincinnati (he rejoined that office after discharge), Larry found many of his ideas on the role of the CPA as a man as well as an accountant coming into sharp focus under the influence of several of the partners and managers. "I was fortunate to have had a 'teacher-student' relationship in the fullest sense with such men as Charlie Swormstedt, Rudy Englert and Elmer Beamer... but to single out just a few would be unfair... it was really a fine office!" It was in 1954 that Larry Walsh, then a manager, was asked by partner John Queenan to prepare and deliver a talk on personnel matters at a managers meeting. That talk proved a turning point in Larry's career. Shortly thereafter Mr. Queenan asked Larry to transfer to Executive Office as national personnel director, a position he accepted. In June of 1955, Larry Walsh was admitted to partnership in the Firm and became the first partner to carry the title of National Personnel Director. Charged with developing and implementing an effective personnel program for the Firm, Larry was not overly burdened by any personnel structure he inherited—it was mostly a case of starting from scratch. During the next five years, with his responsibilities including recruiting, training, salary and personnel policies, Larry began implementing broad programs which formed the base of the personnel practices and policies employed today by the Firm. 'In establishing priorities," Larry remembers, "our first objective was to enhance both the number and quality of our staff." Grade standing was a prime consideration to H&S recruiters. "We wanted the best, and grade standing was the most objective criterion for selecting those we thought had the mental capacity to succeed in the profession." Larry recognized, however, that it was just as important to attempt to gauge how well a student would be able to work with clients and his fellows at H&S. "We looked for accountants whose background revealed an understanding of the service concept, who were articulate, who could relate well to other people." Most of the criteria originally developed by Larry Walsh and those who worked with him eventually became formalized into the same points used today to evaluate those being considered for promotion to manager or for admission to the Firm as partner. His early efforts were directed toward generating more enthusiasm within the Firm for recruiting, highlighting its importance so it would be considered a key function at every practice office. He also began developing a program that would systematically determine the techniques most effective for college recruiting, including college relations, student contact and methods for presenting the image of the professional CPA most effectively to the colleges. It was in this period that Larry coordinated preparation of the first recruiting brochure used by the Firm. "Our recruiting brochure was the second produced by any of the Big Eight firms and was an important factor in strengthening our whole recruiting program," he said. To supplement the recruiting brochure used on campus, a recruiting manual was prepared for use within the Firm covering such topics as interview techniques, how to present effectively the opportunities available 24 Copyrighted -- License from Black Star

Yes, you read it right. This is what our week has been like so far. On Tuesday, a prisoner transfer went horribly wrong when the convict escaped from the parking lot of a Walmart about 30 miles from where we live. The police advised caution; the husband advised locked car doors and my yoga studio started locking the lobby door while we sweated in 105 degree heat and humidity inside. All the school campuses in the surrounding areas, including my kid's, went into lockdown mode. Four days later the fugitive is still on the loose and the schools are still in lockdown.
The reasons for the extension: One, I haven't had a chance to write another pressure cooker post. Two, a few friends requested an extension. Three, I have received only a couple of entrees so far, mainly because I haven't talked about the event much or maybe because the PC is blowing people's faces more than I thought it did.
So for now, the deadline has been extended to Feb 28. Send in your entrees to jayawagle (at) gmail.com and don't forget to end the post with "I cooked (insert the name of the dish you cooked) in my Indian pressure cooker and it didn't blow up in my face!" Also, tell me what PC you use and why. Meanwhile, check these heart warming posts by Anita and Soma.
Fugitive Update: Four days ago, the escaped fugitive was found and killed in a confrontation. I can keep my garage door open now, not that I would ever do it on purpose.

John Carter in Russia

They say that John Carter is tracking well in Russia... but that it's not doing so great in other parts of Europe and South America. Given how much Hollywood relies on foreign box office these days - even Prince of Persia was rescued overseas - well, it seems like this movie just can't win. Not even at a 74% fresh rating (at press time) on Rotten Tomatoes. Full Story
