When most people walk by a shop and hear a heated confrontation they carry on walking. But not Jade Drinnan who grappled with a would-be-thief who was threatening a Halifax shop keeper.
Jade, 20, required hospital treatment after standing up to the man at Union Street News on January 13.
And for her efforts Jade, who lives in Brighouse, received a commendation at the 2015 Calderdale Police Awards.
Jade, who works at Harveys of Halifax, suffered a torn ear, damage to her finger which required an X-Ray after being thrown into doors and counters by the thief, but said she would do it again.
She said: "Some people don't do anything. I was just trying to help and not let somebody like that get away with it.
"There was no thought behind it. It was just a natural reaction. I have always been someone to help where I can despite my own feelings or views.
"The day after at work I was very shocked and nervous about it. I wasn't scared. I'm not going to let someone like that intimidate me. But every time I looked out of the window at work I kept thinking that I'd seen him walk past.
"Obviously my family and friends weren't happy because he could have had a knife or a gun.
"But I would do it again. People I talk to say I shouldn't, but I would.
Although the man did escape, police used CCTV footage and Jade's description and he was arrested at Rastrick Common.
Presenting the award, Superintendent Owen West said: "I think you will agree a really heroic effort by someone who simply did not need to get involved and was subsequently injured herself."

July 29, 2005
Two men under investigation in a high-profile Los Angeles County murder were convicted Thursday in Riverside of federal drug charges related to a massive Southern California PCP distribution ring.
George Williams and Rodrick Cardale "Lil Rod" Reed, both of Compton, were convicted of manufacturing and distributing PCP and conspiracy to distribute the drug. They face maximum sentences of life in prison.
Drug agents who raided their operation in 2003 recovered 175 kilograms of the drug. Fifty weapons and $117,000 in cash were also confiscated in raids connected to the case.
The 18-month investigation uncovered two major PCP labs in the High Desert cities of Adelanto and Palmdale, along with a cargo van that drug agents said was one of the largest rolling PCP labs ever found.
"This stuff was being used to flood the market in South Central L.A., mostly in Compton," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Det. Ty Labbe.
Williams, a former bodyguard of rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight, and Reed were arrested after federal agents gathered evidence of their involvement in the drug operation by wiretapping their phones.
The two also are being investigated as "persons of interest" in at least one Los Angeles County murder, Labbe said.
Homicide Det. Beth Smith of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told The Times that that slaying is the April 3, 2002, shooting death of Alton "Buntry" McDonald, Knight's best friend and bodyguard, in Compton.
Reed "absolutely denies involvement in any kind of violent situation," said Joseph T. Vodnoy, Reed's attorney. "There was nothing on the wiretaps to indicate he was complicit to a violent act. If they didn't hear one conversation about a homicide on those 5,000 phone calls, I'd imagine there's nothing there."
Darlene M. Ricker, Williams' attorney, could not be reached for comment.
In the drug case, law enforcement authorities described Reed, 36, as the supervisor of the PCP manufacturing and the man who set the street price, and said Williams was a "top-level" confidant of Reed's.
In U.S. District Court in Riverside, Reed was convicted of manufacturing PCP, aiding and abetting the distribution of PCP, attempted manufacturing of PCP and conspiracy to possess unregistered firearm silencers. Williams was found guilty of conspiring to manufacture and distribute PCP. Also convicted Thursday was Richard Johnson of Compton, who was arrested while driving the van used as a drug lab.
"They utilized the Inland Empire for its remote, hard-to-detect areas, which were ideal for manufacturing PCP and dumping its sludge," Labbe said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher M. Brunwin said the defendants "were transporting an enormous amount of drugs; it was a very involved operation."
Among the 26 charged in connection with the PCP ring, 23 have been convicted or pleaded guilty to crimes.
Law enforcement authorities told The Times in 2003 that Reed, a member of the Fruit Town Piru Bloods, and Williams were suspects in the killings of several associates of Knight, whose label launched the careers of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur and spawned the gangsta rap phenomenon.
Since 1997, eight associates of Knight's have been slain, and investigators in 2003 said they believed there was a "hit" on Knight.
Authorities said in 2003 that Williams had a falling out with Knight over his failure to return two Death Row cars to his boss in 1996.
Knight fired Williams.
Reed and Williams have not been charged in any killings. They will be sentenced in the drug case Nov. 14.

Sophomore Tommasso di Robilant has been strong for the Harvard men in the foil event (Harvard Athletic Communications).
The Particulars
The top-five ranked Harvard men's and women's fencing team get the 2011 portion of their schedule underway as they head to the Queens borough of New York City for the St. John's Super Cup to take on some of the nation's best in last season's national runner-up and tournament host St. John's, Ivy League rival Columbia, top-ranked Notre Dame, this season's NCAA Championship host Ohio State and defending national champion Penn State.
Last Time Out
The Harvard men's fencing team went a perfect 5-0 at the Sacred Heart Invitational Dec. 5, including edging the defending national champion Penn State, 14-13. Junior co-captain Valentin Staller went undefeated on the day in the saber competition, including a win over Penn State's Alexsander Ochocki, the 2009 men's saber individual champion.
The Harvard women's fencing team also competed the Sacred Heart Invitational Dec. 5 and saw Freshman Alexandra Kiefer fall once in the foil event and junior co-captain Hayley Levitt also lost one duel in the saber competition as the two led their team to a flawless 5-0 record, including a perfect, 27-0, shutout of North Carolina and a 16-11 defeat of defending national champion Penn State.
In the Rankings
The year's first national rankings have been released and the Crimson are recognized as one of the top three teams in the nation on both the men's and women's side. The men come into this weekend's competition ranked No. 2 behind No. 1 Notre Dame and ahead of No. 3 Penn State, whom the Crimson defeated, 14-13, Dec. 5 at the Sacred Heart Invitational. The men are led by junior co-captain Valentin Staller in the saber and freshman Michael Raynis in the epee.
The Harvard women are ranked No. 3 behind top-ranked Notre Dame and defending national champion No. 2 Penn State. The women have already defeated the Nittany Lions this season, a 16-11 victory at the Sacred Heart Invitational Dec. 5. So far the women's leaders have included junior co-captain Caroline Vloka in the saber and freshman Alexandra Kiefer in the foil.
About St. John's
The Red Storm men will be led by defending national champions Daryl Homer (saber) and Marat Israelian (epee) along with All-Americans Sean Buckley (saber) and Nicholas Vomero (epee). Last week, Vomero captured the North American Cup in Dallas. On the women's side, All-Americans Dagmara Wozniak (saber), Evgeniya Kirpicheva (foil) and Irina Koroleva (foil) will lead the way.
About Notre Dame
The Fighting Irish men and women both begin the 2011 calendar year as the No. 1 teams in the country after Notre Dame finished third at the national championship in 2010. Notre Dame's returning roster for the 2011 title drive includes 13 All-Americans, who have combined for a total of 25 All-America citations and two individual NCAA Championships, including most recently Gerek Meinhardt's foil gold at the 2010 Championships.
About Columbia
Several Lions fenced last weekend at the Dallas North American Cup, including freshman Nzingha Prescod, who reached the finals of the senior women's foil competition.

The Buckeyes have finished in the Top 5 at the NCAA Championships in each of the past eight seasons. Ohio State is 26-0 in duals this season, compiling all 26 wins against varsity and club opponents at the Ohio State Duals in November.
About Penn State
The defending national champions currently rank No. 2 and No. 3 in women's and men's fencing, respectively. Penn State participated in the Sacred Heart Invitational Dec. 5 along with the Crimson.

Maintenance costs piling up for South Lake Tahoe
Roads are deteriorating. Pipes, buildings and city fleets are aging.
At a workshop Monday, the South Lake Tahoe City Council had no easy answers for how to pay for millions of dollars in maintenance needs stuck on hold for years. But it's starting to see the problem's size and to lay out a plan to try to address it.
"It's time to face the music," City Manager Nancy Kerry said about an asset management plan the public works department is preparing and presented to the City Council.
It's the first such plan the city has had, Kerry said.
"We have to realize what we are facing and the more we can be strategic and stay the course, the better off we'll be," she said.
For years, maintenance of city assets has languished. Those costs are large and coming due with no money set aside or coming in to pay for them, said Jim Marino, the city's capital improvement projects manager.
Forty-seven percent of city roads — about 120 miles — have less than five years of service life remaining. Most of those have less than two years.
That doesn't mean roads will crumble or disappear overnight, Marino said. But they will require more expensive rebuilds if or when the city finally gets around to fixing them.
South Lake Tahoe's road network has a Pavement Condition Index of 42, the same rating as the four worst Bay Area cities, Marino said.
City officials estimate $7 million per year is needed over the next five years to stop the decline in road conditions and reduce a $26 million maintenance backlog. About $2 million per year is needed to maintain the status quo.
With no additional spending, by 2018 the city's PCI rating will drop to 33, which is considered a failed road, and deferred maintenance costs will reach $41 million.
The asset management plan identifies other significant needs.
A 260-vehicle fleet promises to keep South Lake Tahoe hunting for cash. The average vehicle is 15 years old, almost double industry standards, and 72 percent of city vehicles are in use beyond replacement schedules, Marino said.
Twenty-five vehicles are targeted for immediate replacement at a cost of $2.4 million. That includes pickup trucks, street sweepers, graders, loaders and fire trucks.
"Then we still have a large percentage of fleet over or just approaching their replacement values. So once we get these done there will be a whole other stream of vehicles to do," Marino said.
Public works staffers are still inventorying 43 city buildings that total about 400,000 square feet.
The buildings are facing an estimated $6 million maintenance backlog. Immediate needs are estimated at $250,000 with $800,000 needed over the next three years.
Needed repairs include handicap accessibility and code compliance problems, the flooring at the ice arena and a leaking roof at the recreation center.
Thirty-nine percent of the city's underground stormwater system is beyond its life expectancy. With 1,800 inlets and 31.5 miles of pipe, the system is estimated to face $17 million in deferred maintenance costs.
The city would have to double the $300,000 for stormwater work in this year's budget to maintain the system and its permit compliance going forward, Marino said.
While such maintenance work has been left on hold, over the last 12 years the city has added about $72 million in new infrastructure and facilities. State and federal grants covered much of their cost.
"We have to bring those budgets online so we don't lose ground like we have with the infrastructure built 30 to 40 years ago," Marino told the council.
South Lake Tahoe has ended its last two budget years with surplus revenues of about $650,000 and $1 million. But the City Council still must decide whether to bring that limited money to bear on deferred maintenance needs or on new city projects.
Council members wrestled with that question Monday with no clear outcome.
Working with hired financial consultant Mike Levinson, the city approved a community investment policy. It states, "We will focus on the built environment based on critical need and prioritize investment in geographical locations that strive to achieve the greatest return on investment."
Council members directed the city's budget subcommittee to come back with a recommended line-item for future budgets to start addressing some community investment and maintenance needs.
They also will explore spending some of the city's $9 million in general fund reserves. But that would be a one-time expenditure on recurring maintenance costs.
"We need a long-term solution to dedicate revenues to these needs," Kerry said after Monday's meeting.
While it lays out a huge financial challenge for the city, councilwoman Angela Swanson praised the public works department for preparing an asset management plan.
"It's so long overdue," Swanson said. "It's excellent information. Horrifying price tags."

Breast Cancer: Terms You Need to Know
Absolute neutrophil count: A measure of the number of neutrophils—a type of white blood cell that fights infection—in the blood. The count can show if a person has an infection, inflammation, leukemia or other conditions. Chemotherapy can sometimes lower a person's absolute neutrophil count.
Adjuvant therapy: "Add-on" treatment (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation, hormone or biological therapy) aimed at killing stray cancer cells; typically it follows surgery.
Alopecia: Hair loss, a common side effect of chemotherapy
Anemia: A condition in which the body has too few red blood cells
Antiemetic: A drug that controls (or even prevents) nausea and vomiting, a common side effect of chemotherapy
Aromatase inhibitors: Drugs that reduce the female hormone estrogen; often given to postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer before or after tamoxifen

I've seen in class that we can get from Lagrangian to derive equations of motion (I know its used elsewhere in physics, but I haven't seen it yet). It's not clear to me whether the Lagrangian itself follows from the equations of motion, or whether it represents a fundamentally different approach - whether it's a different "model", or whether it's largely a mathematical observation (it may illuminate/integrate what came before, but for all intents and purposes it is equivalent).
I'm just curious about how these relationships are generally understood. I ask because it's not at all obvious to me that the principle of least action should be true. I'd also be curious whether the answer to this question would be the same across different fields of physics, though if the answer's "no" much detail would probably go over my head.

- Description
The Squier Affinity Stratocaster is one of the most popular electric guitars ever made. Using sister brand, Squier, Fender distilled the key design elements of its iconic Stratocaster, and built a guitar that shared its DNA, but a much lower price. It almost instantly became the first choice of beginner guitar, and remains a brilliant first guitar today.
It shares the same body design as its Fender sibling. This curvy, double-cutaway shape was something that Leo Fender spent some time perfecting, aiming to make the Strat (his second guitar design) more comfortable than the 1st (the Telecaster). It's still one of the most comfortable guitars to play, six decades after it was launched. Here, it is made from solid Alder.
The neck is bolt-on maple design, again, like its Fender predecessors. This has advantages over glued-in, set-neck designs, not least of which that it makes the guitar significantly tougher. The neck is shaped to a 'C' profile, which has a 'just so' comfortable feel. An Indian Laurel fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets completes the neck.
Versatile tone
Three single coil pickups are fitted to the Affinity Strat, wired with a 5-way selector switch, with two tone controls and a master volume control. The pickups and controls fitted to the Stratocaster are a major contributing factor to the design's popularity. Via these, a staggering range of tones can be achieved, making it one of the most versatile guitars that money can buy.
A 6-saddle vintage style Tremolo bridge is fitted, which provides the means to perform pitch bend techniques, and six standard die-cast tuners are fitted at the headstock. A white scratchplate provides a nice, visual contrast to the classic, 3-tone sunburst finish.
The Squier Affinity Stratocaster is one of the most popular guitars available for very good reason. It is derived from a guitar design that is still available largely unchanged, some sixty years after it was launched. It is also one of the most versatile beginner guitars that you can buy. Ultimately, though, it's a guitar that sounds great and plays just as well, with the same good looks as its prestigious ancestors.

Pet Health Insurance Providers
How to Compare Between Companies
Finding the right pet insurance can be tricky if you don't keep a few things in mind before you begin. A number of variables are involved but once you get into your research, you will find that shopping for pet insurance is very similar to shopping for human health insurance.
Keep in mind the basics:
- The language and issues are much the same as human health insurance.
- Almost all policies cover accident/injuries and illnesses/diseases, and many have provisions for reimbursement for routine preventive care like vaccinations, heartworm medicines, annual physicals and so on.
- Almost all policies from all carriers have deductibles, and most also have certain exclusions for some breeds of dogs or cats, pre-existing conditions and genetically transmitted conditions.
These are the questions you should be asking your agent or yourself while you are shopping for pet insurance:
What does it cover?
- This refers to the illnesses, conditions, accidents and wellness care the insurance company will pay for during a year's time. Coverage varies widely and is linked to the annual premium (see below).
How much will you pay per year?
- This is the amount you pay per year for coverage or annual premium. Most companies bill premiums on a monthly basis. Monthly premiums range from $10 a month to $50 and upwards. Currently the average monthly premium for pet health insurance is $25-$30. Most companies offer discounts for insuring multiple pets and for pre-payment of 12 months of coverage in one lump sum.
What is the deductible?
- This is the amount you have to pay before the insurance company will begin paying for vet fees. Usually companies have deductibles for the year, deductibles per incident (accident, illness or disease) and per vet office visit.
Do you have a Co-Pay?
- This is the amount of money the pet owner must pay per vet office visit or treatment, and is in addition to the deductible amount.
What is excluded?
- Exclusions are just that: breeds, pre-existing conditions, and age of the pet that are not covered by a policy. Most companies exclude some breeds of cats or dogs, will not cover (or offer limited coverage of) pre-existing conditions, and exclude genetically transmitted conditions.
Are there Annual Caps on coverage?
- Caps refer to the upper limit a company will pay for a condition, disease or accident. Usually there are "per incident" caps and "annual" caps for the amount of money a company will pay for these things. Some companies have caps on the amount they will pay "per incident" for the life span of a pet.
What are the limits of the policy?
- Nearly all pet insurance companies have annual policy limits above which they will not pay. Typically there are policy limits for illnesses, accidents, life of the animal, and total policy limits.
How do I get reimbursed and how long does it typically take?
- Unlike health insurance for people, pet insurance companies expect the pet owner to pay the vet for services rendered at the time they occur and to file insurance claims with the company for re-imbursement of the portion of the fees that are covered under the policy. The good news is most pet insurance companies reimburse policy holders quickly, sometimes within a month of filing a claim.
Are there Renewal Rate increases?
- Pet insurance policies have clauses concerning allowable rate increases at the time of annual policy renewal. These can be tied to inflation in the cost of veterinary care and, unfortunately, the claims you have filed for vet fees for a pet during the previous year. Occasionally, a company will refuse coverage for a pet that has had expensive vet care in the previous year and which also requires ongoing treatment for a chronic condition.
What is the reputation of the company?
- It pays to check carefully the reputation of the company with past and current policy holdeers. This is fairly easy to do online. A number of websites exist which review pet insurance companies' track records with policy holders.
All of these matters require careful consideration, but you will be successful in choosing the right policy for you and your pet armed with this information. As with any contract or policy, just be sure to read the fine print!

Story highlights
- Rena Golden was born in India in 1961
- She went on to hold various top positions at CNN
- "Mentor" is one of the most common words people use to describe her
- Passion for news was the most important for a journalist, she said
Many success stories open with humble beginnings. Rena Golden's began in a village near the India-Nepal border.
Born in northeastern India in 1961, her parents brought her to the United States as a child, where a life of accolades and a career with a global news network awaited.
Golden passed away Wednesday in her Atlanta home after battling lymphoma for two years.
She was 51.
In addition to her husband, Rob Golden, she leaves behind a daughter, Sabrina, and a son, Adam.
Golden was "a devoted wife and above all, a dedicated mom," her husband wrote.
Warm memories around the globe
From her days at CNN to her later career at the Weather Channel, she touched many lives.
During her positions of leadership at CNN, she managed a global news team for more than a decade.
She spearheaded coverage of major world news, from the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
She left a personal mark on many who worked for and with her. Messages of tribute and condolences, by colleagues bereft at her passing, poured on her Facebook page.
"Our extended CNN is really sad tonight," former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan wrote. "We lost a good one. One of the superstars viewers don't see behind the scenes."
Former CNN journalist Robert Johnson, now director of photography at The Weather Channel, said she will be missed. Golden spent the last year of her career there.
"She had so much enthusiasm," Johnson posted on Facebook.
Words like "mentor" and "open ear" come up a lot when people describe Golden.
"Rena Golden inspired and mentored so many people and, lucky for me, I am one of them," CNN producer Boriana Treadwell wrote.
Her understanding of people, her advice and her encouragement made her more than popular with those who knew her closely.
"I've been trying to reconcile myself to" the news of her death, said former CNN producer Roy Wadia from Mumbai, India. "She was one of my dearest friends."
Love and success
Golden started out in 1985 as a producer at CNN, where she found both career success and love. Back then, her name was Rena Shaheen Zeya.
Then along came love.
Rob Golden worked as a journalist in the newsroom. The two fell for each other, and in 1987, colleagues put together a mock newscast, in which he asked her to marry him.
She thought she was watching a real newscast on TV. Rob Golden's appearance on the screen took her by surprise.
Then came the first career boost, when she was promoted to supervisor in 1993.
Four years later, she became vice president of programming at CNN International.
In 2000, her career advanced to senior vice president of CNN International. She made the jump to senior vice president of CNN.com in 2007, and served as its leader for about two years.
Accessible despite more responsibility
In her executive roles, Golden added more than 80 hours of programming for viewers in at least 200 countries, according to her resume, and opened production in Hong Kong and London.
She hired many of the news anchors seen on CNN International. One of them was Isha Sesay.
"She took a chance on me and I owe everything I have today to her," Sesay wrote in Golden's memorial website. "I will forever be grateful for her bravery, guidance and the great kindness she always showed me."
Under the load of greater responsibility, Golden still had an open ear for employee's concerns, Wadia said.
She not only mentored him in his career from her advanced position, but helped him make a major life decision as well.
When his heart was tugging at him to return to India to care for a family member in need, he said he looked to her to help him hash it out.
He followed his heart to Mumbai.
News was her passion
Golden had a deep passion for the news, and it showed.
"It was in her blood," said CNN producer Talia Kayali. "She was CNN."
Golden has called passion the most important aspect of being a journalist.
"You can learn TV web integration, you can learn technology, but it's the passion for news, that's something you need," she told the South Asian Journalists Association in a 2007 interview. "You need to know what you are doing is important and is making a difference."
Her management style gave other journalists the room and respect to expand their talents and encouraged them to grow.
"She built people," Kayali said, "particularly women at a time when there were fewer female leaders."
Battle with lymphoma
After leaving CNN, Golden completed an MBA program at Georgia State University. Shortly after graduating, she was diagnosed with lymphoma.
"Rena approached the disease and treatment as just one more hurdle to clear—just another bump in the road— upset only by the fact that it would delay or scale back her work ambitions," husband Rob wrote in her memorial.
The treatment appeared to be successful, and she went back to work, this time for The Weather Channel.

"We love our kids so much, we want to give them everything. We work hard to give them as many opportunities as possible. Sometimes we are so busy doing this, we don't even have time to sit down and relax together. We know this is just as important as the piano lesson or the dance class, but we think we'll always have time for that later.
What if we decided to take that quiet time now? I am sure we can all find 5-10 minutes for a few yoga postures. It might be in the morning, to welcome the sun. Or at the end of the day, to calm down before going to bed. It could be anytime in our busy days.
You don't need to be an expert to introduce your kids to yoga. You can even start exploring this wonderful discipline with them, through play.
Yoga improves concentration, memorization and learning. It helps with releasing anxiety and handling strong emotions. It reduces impulsivity and improves listening skills. Practicing yoga boosts creativity and improves posture, giving relief to students who are forced to sit down for long hours. Yoga also improves motor development and balance.
Researchers from the Sainte Justine Hospital in Montreal affirm yoga can help asthmatic kids to cope with their desease by controlling breathing and handling stress.
If you want to practice yoga with your kids, just forget the "classic" idea you have of yoga. Your kids won't stand still for hours meditating. Yoga with kids is fun, joy, conviviality. Just set a few rules (for example during yoga time kids won't run or scream) and enjoy the moment.
Teaching yoga to our kids is a wonderful gift that will help them for their whole life. And if you never tried yoga before, this can be an easy way to start!
The cat pose is perfect for warming up. On all fours, inhale and gently arch your back and move your head backwards, looking at the ceiling. As you exhale, round your spine upward, toward the ceiling, and move your head inward. Repeat several times, following your own breathing rythm.
The downward-facing dog: hands and feet on the floor, tailbone up, gently stretch all your muscles while you inhale and exhale. This is an energizing pose. It stretches the whole body and strengthens arms and legs.
The sphynx: lie on your belly, elbows under your shoulders, forearms parallel to each other. Close your eyes or fix a point in front of you and breathe deeply while you gently stretch your spine. This pose strengthens the back and helps with releasing breathing problems.
Always breathe from the nose. Keep each pose as long as you wish and you are confortable with. Listen to your body and never force yourself. If you don't like a pose or you are not confortable with it, just try another one.
You can find more easy poses (and a fun way to learn languages) on my free printable bilingual yoga cards."

The reason this pamphlet or book is thought provoking is because of the possibility of comparing and contrasting the approach to genealogy prevalent in Utah a hundred years ago with that of today. It is obvious that there have been huge technological changes, but do those changes really affect the basic principles and concepts of genealogical research or are they merely substitutes for paper, pencils and a good erasure?
This question is partially answered in the first pages of the book. If you compare a current publication on "family history" from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints such as the current instructional publication, Member's Guide to Temple and Family History Work, you will find a few major differences, but mostly striking similarities. Both publications, the current one from 2012 available on the LDS.org website, and the old rare book, start with exactly the same premise; understanding why we do genealogy is based on doctrine as revealed to the latter-day prophets. Although Church members have just as many different motivational reasons for doing (or not doing) genealogical research, the members of the Church have an additional deeply religious reason for being involved. Ignoring this is like trying to ignore the proverbial elephant in the room. It is further apparent that religiously based animosity against "Mormons" enters into the genealogical world, just as it does the political and social world.
Fortunately, it is my experience, that the issue of religious doctrine only seldom tints genealogical discussions. Although in my dealings with both those who are members of the Church and those who are not, the goals of the research tend to differ considerably. This occurs primarily because the members are more interested in the details of processing their genealogical information into a format that can be used to perform Church Temple ordinances for their deceased ancestors, rather than doing the research for purely informational reasons. Living in the two worlds of research is so natural to me personally that I hardly give it a thought and find very few conflicts in my own attitude towards genealogical research. I primarily focus on the process of finding people, since, in my way of thinking, the actual work of preparing names for Temple ordinances is quite simple to do. Finding the people is what is hard. Doing real research is what is a challenge.
Now, back to the book. We cannot ignore the changes in technology but even though we have a different medium to record our information, the suggestions made in the 1915 Lessons are still applicable. Here is an introductory quote;
We shall assume that the reader is entirely unacquainted with the methods employed by trained specialists in this art ; and that he desires full and careful directions as to how to begin and how to continue his labor. His first requisite is notebooks, record books, pencils, paper, and ink.
Note and Record Books.If you read this carefully, you will see some common themes. The first is organization and second is permanency. Aren't we concerned with both today. We may be recording our names and lines in a computer program but we still need to spend the same care and concern for backing up our files and recording the information we find in a systematic way. By-the-way, the word "quires" refers to four sheets of paper folded to form eight leaves. It can also mean a set of 24 or 25 sheets of paper of the same size and stock or one twentieth of a ream. The second definition is the most likely, since I am familiar with the exact notebooks spoken of in the article.
The notebooks should be preferably about seven by ten inches, as this permits space for dates and names across the page. The Genealogical Society has had prepared properly ruled and printed notebooks for this purpose. They may be obtained from the Society at 10 cents each. The book for a family record of temple work may be purchased at the Genealogical Society office, which keeps the approved form, bound in one, two, and three quire sizes. The prices are: One quire, $1.25; two quires, $1.75; and three quires, $2.25. A soft and good pencil is advisable, as there are often erasures to make, especially with beginners. The pencil should have a rubber. Insist on securing the very best ink made for permanent recording. Anything so important as the records of our dead must require permanency. Cheap ink soon fades, and the fading- away of our work may prove a serious loss to our descendants. We recommend Carter's record ink for this purpose. The notebook should be inscribed with the owner's name, address, and the date of beginning the work. These points are of great importance, small as they seem. If the book be lost, the address will secure its return to the owner. The date will make an historical link in the chain he is seeking to weave around himself and his dead. On the fly-leaf of his book, let the beginner now write again his own name, the place from which he is seeking his information, and above all the name of the family whose lines are to be traced in the book. Only one line of ancestry should appear in any one book. It makes great confusion to put several family lines together, either in the notebook or the record of temple work. At the head of the page should be written the name of the heir in the family at whose instance the work is to be done. Heirship will be explained later.

Think Progress [1]
Thursday, Dec 11, 2008
Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Congress Daily that President-elect Obama should keep Mike McConnell on as Director of National Intelligence and Michael Hayden as head of the CIA. He said Obama should keep "continuity" in the intelligence sector because we live in "a world that is very dangerous."
Reyes dismissed concerns over Hayden and McConnell's records as apologists for torture. He insisted that that "there are some options that need to be available" to interrogators — presumably beyond the Army Field Manuel — to get the best information:
Regarding the CIA's alternative interrogation program, Reyes indicated that his recommendations concerned finding a balance so the agency does not use torture but can get valuable information from suspected terrorists or other detainees.
"There are those that believe that this particular issue has to be dealt with very carefully because there are beliefs that there are some options that need to be available," Reyes said.
"We don't want to be known for torturing people. At the same time we don't want to limit our ability to get information that's vital and critical to our national security," he added. "That's where the new administration is going to have to decide what those parameters are, what those limitations are."
As the Washington Independent's Spencer Ackerman notes, Reyes "framed the debate as between effective torture and ineffective compliance with the law." In fact, torturing does not provide reliable intelligence, as former interrogator (and author) Matthew Alexander told Jon Stewart Monday night:
STEWART: Did you ever see coercive methods pay off?
ALEXANDER: No. … When I was in Iraq, the few times that I saw people use harsh methods, it was always counterproductive. Because the person hunkered down, they were expecting us to do that, and they just shut up. And then I'd have to send somebody in and build back up rapport, reverse that process, and it'd take us longer to get that information.
McConnell and Hayden share Reyes' approval of torture. McConnell has explained his refusal to move the CIA to the Army Field Manuel rules by denigrating Army servicemen, saying the Field Manuel was "designed for young and inexperienced" soldiers. He apparently does not consider waterboarding to be torture. Similarly, Hayden has dismissed torture as a mere "legal term," saying we use the term "in a far too casual way." Hayden apparently retaliated against the CIA's inspector general for being an outspoken critic of waterboarding, and he may have destroyed interrogation videotapes to cover up the CIA's use of torture.

The cholera disaster unfolding in Haiti is something that might have been prevented with the proper care and precautions.
This is not just a third world problem. In times of disaster, keep fresh potable water available.If you don't have a cache of water set aside in pouches and larger containers, keep a good supply of water purification tablets available.
The illnesses associated with contaminated water are avoidable with the proper preparation and planning.
Use sturdy, BPA Free plastic containers when storing water for long periods-up to 5 years.
Supermarket water comes in plastic containers that can leech harmful chemicals into your drinking water.
