Community rallies for recovery of Lafayette College student critically injured in hit-and-run
Parents note 'progress'
EASTON, Pa. - One week after a violent hit-and-run crash, a Lafayette College student is still unconscious. But her family reports she's making slow and steady progress.
"Aubrey is an absolutely amazing young woman," said Victoria Parsons, a friend and fellow club soccer player. "She's absolutely a fighter."
Aubrey Baumbach is certainly fighting now -- fighting for her life.
"She was leaving crew practice, and was hit by a car," said friend Jillian Fahy.
It happened last Friday night on Lehigh Drive in Easton. Police say the driver, Wilson David Kneebone of Martin's Creek, simply kept going. He now faces multiple charges.
"People make poor decisions because they're scared or for whatever bad reasons they have," said Parsons, "and I like to think most people would stay to make sure whoever they hit was okay."
Since the accident, the Lafayette freshman has undergone four surgeries to relieve pressure on her brain, according to a Facebook support page. But the future remains uncertain.
"We're all thinking that she's going to wake up and come back to school eventually," said Fahy.
Aubrey's parents took to Facebook to thank her supporters. Her mother Lisa said, "Aubrey is a fighter! For six days, we have lived moment to moment, not knowing what was around the corner … She sustained a severe brain injury, an injury for which the outcome is never known … Only time will tell how she will pull [through] this."
"It's been hard on everyone, who doesn't even know her has been really affected by it," said Fahy. "A lot of the sororities and fraternities have even sent her cards, and I know the soccer team did."
And amazingly, Baumbach's friends say they are not angry at the man accused of putting her in this condition.
"I don't think anger really has a lot of place in this situation," said Parsons. "I'm obviously not happy with his decisions … but I think it's much more important to focus on Aubrey."
On Facebook, Baumbach's mother said doctors believe she will wake up and begin talking again.

Easy to see how shooting tragedies happen
About the shooting in Newtown, Mass. It's hard to understand how something like this could take place in America? Let's see, game makers produce filth, death and destruction for kids, but parents allow them to play them. Hollywood makes disgusting movies that allow kids to see an average of 16,000 murders and 200,000 acts of violence by the time they're 18 and of course, parents allow their kids to go see it. TV sitcoms and commercials portray men as feminine, Christians as idiots, the nuclear family as a thing of the past and yes, parents let the little ones watch it. Hard to believe that human life has been trivialized? One million unborn babies murdered each year by abortion, elderly are looked at as a burden on society. We've even gotten to a point where our country has elected and re-elected a so called leader that's not only pro abortion but pro late term abortion, even forcing tax payers to fund abortions. Today, a lot of able bodied men live on welfare, unemployment, scam the social security disability system or scam work mans comp and that's an example they set for kids which are mostly had out of wedlock. Over the last 50 years the public school system has dumb downed a large number of the population to the point of making people dependent on the government and not being smart enough to compete against other countries. Good people and churches have set back and allowed the ACLU and liberals to run God of schools and public life. Local, state and federal politicians steal much of our hard earned money to the point of putting people in desperate situations. Yeah, it's really hard to believe tragedies like Newtown take place in our liberal utopia?

During the first few weeks of September, dancers in Collaborative Process (DAN 4830) have visited the Library twice to learn about its resources: once, on September 10, to learn about library resources for their final papers, and again on September 19, to explore how physical space affects their creative processes. One visit involved sitting in a computer classroom; the other involved actually dancing on the main staircase and in the first floor atrium. In both cases, they used the Library's resources to explore dance intellectually and physically.
Associate Professor of Dance and the class's instructor Emily Daughtridge explained the less-traditional, but creative use of the Library's resources that her class experienced on the Thursday the 19th:
"The students were members of my Collaborative Process class, which is a course for senior Dance Studies majors. The students in Collaborative Process are exploring the nature of creativity in collaborative work, crossing disciplines and group processes. [Thursday's] class, guided by invited guest and chair of Theatre and Dance, Marianne Adams, took inspiration from Postmodern era dance artists such as Trisha Brown. These artists are interested in exploring, dancing and choreographing in relationship to the elements, be they architectural, cultural, etc., of a given environment, or "found" space as it may be.
"During [Thursday's] class the dance students explored improvisational performance in the library rotunda and in the large open stair case. Both spaces provide unique spatial dimensions, architectural features, viewing perspectives and the opportunity to negotiate movement and interactions not only with fellow dancers but also with unsuspecting pedestrians. In addition Ms. Adam's gave the dancers the following prompts to consider: the shape of the space, the initiation/intention of the movement, and the awareness of being a part of a greater whole."
Watch a video of Collaborative Process students dancing in the Library!

Information Literacy Librarian Elizabeth (Betsy) McCutchen Williams was invited to give a lecture at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Ky about her publication Appalachian travels : the diary of Olive Dame Campbell / edited by Elizabeth McCutchen Williams published by the University Press of Kentucky, c2012.
In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid, entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they encountered.
Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar writing about the region, little has been published about the Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological, educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely accessible to scholars and students for the first time.Appalachian Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at the turn of the twentieth century.
American folklorist Olive Dame Campbell (1882–1954) was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. In 1925, she founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina.
E-learning Librarian Megan Johnson published "Usability Test Results for Encore in an Academic Library" in Information Technology and Libraries (ITAL) 32.3 (2013): 59-85 doi: 10.6017/ital.v32i3.4635
This case study gives the results a usability study for the discovery tool Encore Synergy (locally branded as APPsearch), an Innovative Interfaces product, launched at Belk Library & Information Commons in January 2013. Nine of the thirteen participants in the study rated the discovery tool as more user friendly. All of the study's participants were in favor of switching the interface to the new "one box" search. Several glitches in the implementation were noted and reported to the vendor. The study results have helped develop Belk library training materials and curricula. The study will also serve as a benchmark for further usability testing of Encore and Appalachian State Library's website. This article will be of interest to libraries using Encore Discovery Service, investigating discovery tools, or performing usability studies of other discovery services.
Checked out a banned book lately? Belk Library is celebrating Banned Books Week, an annual event held during the last week of September that celebrates your freedom to read. The event was first held in 1892 after an increase in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores, and libraries. Over 11,300 books have been challenged since 1892. Due to the commitment of librarians, teachers, parents, students and other concerned citizens, most challenges are unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection. Belk Library is committed to supporting the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
Stop by the Instructional Materials Center on the lower level to check out books from our banned books display, and visit our Pinterest board of banned books to discover what you are missing.
The Belk Library would like to thank everyone who applied to serve on this committee. We greatly appreciate your interest in and dedication to the Library.

Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
The WYCUP Class of 2011 meets in Glasgow, Scotland. Five nominees won all-expense-paid scholarships to attend this year's WYCUP session in Gdańsk, Poland.
WYCUP is designed to foster professional growth of talented credit
union professionals and volunteers age 35 and younger. Each year five
outstanding participants are chosen for all-expense-paid scholarships to
the following year's program. Enrollment for the 2012 WYCUP program, to
be held in conjunction with the World Credit Union Conference, July
15-18 in Gdańsk, Poland, ends June 1.

practitioners to educate the next generation of leadership," said Brian
Branch, president and CEO of World Council. "The WYCUP program does
that, assuring that credit unions worldwide will thrive to serve future
generations of members."
The agenda for this year's WYCUP program, which runs parallel to the
conference, stresses a mix of conference general sessions, education and
networking opportunities specifically designed for younger
professionals. Events include:
The WYCUP program seeks individuals who have already made significant
contributions to the development of their own credit unions or
regional/national credit union systems and have demonstrated the
potential to employ their unique talents at the international level.
Credit unions and credit union organizations that are World Council
members are encouraged to nominate young leaders to compete for a WYCUP
To be eligible for the scholarship, nominees must: 1) be sponsored by
their credit union or credit union organization to attend this year's
World Credit Union Conference in Gdańsk; 2) be 35 years of age or under
as of Jan. 1, 2012; and 3) submit a completed nomination form to World
Council with all the necessary supporting materials by June 1.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.

from the http://kentonhistoricalsociety.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=3188241
Sam is my great-great uncle, and I had no idea there was a photo of him, much less one in the internet that I would stumble across.
He was a trapper for the state of Michigan, which is confirmed by the 4 wolf furs and the front license plate on that car. (Mich dept of conservation 8)
Sam lost an arm, it may have been WW1, and was setting his traps with only one arm/one hand ... what a difficult thing that must have been to do, I've set traps too, they aren't easy, and they are really damn dangerous.

I remember the name Bennett!
Mama knew a Marian Bennett. I believe she married a Thompson?
And wasn't there a Bennett that had a restaurant and made yummy pies? Was that Carl?

Students learning through Shipwreck Alley
ALPENA – Alpena High School students have an opportunity to utilize area resources through a unique elective class at the high school. Shipwreck Alley: Shipwrecks, Science, and the Marine Sanctuary, is back for its third installment this month, thanks to instructor John Caplis' idea to create a hands-on course, with guidance from the staff at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
"It was a learning experience for me, as well as the first group of students," Caplis said. "The kids really find the sanctuary interesting, but they want to be involved in hands-on learning activities. This is where a strong partnership with NOAA makes a huge difference. They have been instrumental in helping design quality activities and learning experiences for our students, as well as helping me find funding for the class."
"We have three classes this trimester," Caplis said. "We have about 100 students taking the class. As a result, we will be exploring some new opportunities."
The class is an earth science elective in which students learn about geology, meteorology, and environmental issues, along with studies in history, economics, and maritime archaeology.
"Geological formations like North Point Reef sink ships and storms like the White Hurricane of 1913 sink ships, so we study the related earth science content," Caplis said.
Students also will begin working on a book about the sanctuary, with chapters on the strange weather of the Great Lakes, geology, and specific shipwrecks. Future classes will be able to add to their work.
With school funding being very tight, Caplis relies almost completely on grants and donations to pay for the course. Funding has been provided by the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative and "a $1,000 donation from a private donor who wanted to support this educational opportunity," Caplis said. "We were also awarded a $200 cultural grant by the State of Michigan to help pay transportation costs for a field trip."
"Besser Foundation provided the initial funding. I wrote a grant for things like books, maps, archaeology kits, and snorkeling gear. Without their generous contribution, the class would not be nearly as attractive to students. We couldn't do field work and hands-on simulations in the pool without this equipment," Caplis said.
After preparing in the classroom through lecture and reading the students practice their skills on land, then they take a field trip to Plaza Pool to practice underwater archaeology with sanctuary staff.
"One of the things I like best about this class is that students get to work side by side with professionals who prove that the science and history we ask students to learn have real world applications right here in Alpena," Caplis said.
This semester, students also will have the opportunity to build remotely operated vehicles, thanks to the Besser Foundation.
"We plan to build three ROVs and then take them out on the glass bottom boat to study a shallow wreck. The sanctuary staff will bring one of their ROVs and some divers to assist," Caplis said. "If everything goes well, the students will be able to talk to the divers as we explore the wreck site."
The ROV construction project provides science, technology, engineering, and math learning for the students and will help prepare them for advanced training in these areas.
Students this trimester will also be partnering with the Besser Museum and Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative to collect oral histories from fishermen who worked on the Catherine V. in hopes to preserve their stories and learn more about these men and the health of the fishery. The GLSI funded a $2,000 grant to support this project, and future Shipwreck Alley students may be involved in creating an exhibit for this vessel, which is currently being stored behind the museum.
"I have found that students are most excited about learning when it is interesting or it matters to them," Caplis said. "Hopefully these projects will inspire my students to explore careers in science, or some field they haven't considered before. I have learned so much throughout this experience, and I hope they do too."

Hey Guys, as most of you know, I am the author of Ancient Tea Horse Road. I just recieved an email from a reader in China which I felt would be nice to share with you all.
-Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Gongfu Brewing Method": -
"i'm drink quite a lot of puerh, buying a lot of my teas in the guangdong region. with each vendor that i now purchase my teas from, they warn me to "rinse" my teas a minimum of 3 times before drinking. it's mainly because of the cleanliness of the processing techniques. just thought people would want to know. "
This is very interesting. However, I wonder if it is due to processing as the reader suggests or is it more to do with toxicity of pesticides. Just was wondering you thing.

Two arraigned in Admiral robbery case
ESCANABA – An Escanaba man, accused of robbing a local gas station attendant at knifepoint this past weekend, was arraigned in Delta County District Court on Tuesday. A second person was also arraigned in connection with the case.
Marc Allen Grove, 19, of 1316 N. 16th St., Escanaba, was arrested for armed robbery and possession of a controlled substance on Sunday. Escanaba Public Safety officers and a police dog tracked him to a residence on the north side of town.
Grove allegedly entered the Admiral gas station at 720 N. Lincoln Road around 7:45 a.m. when he brandished a large hunting knife and demanded money from the clerk. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the masked subject fled on foot, according to police.
During Grove's arraignment, District Court Judge Glenn Pearson said the felony complaint alleges the defendant possessed a knife as a weapon and forced violence against a person to steal money.
After Grove was arrested on Sunday, police searched the home where they confiscated evidence relating to the robbery investigation. Two other residents inside the home were also arrested.
Courtney Marie Gartland, 21, of 1316 N. 16th St., Escanaba, was arraigned Tuesday on one count of making a false statement to police investigating a serious felony. The charge carries a maximum sentencing of four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Gartland's bond was set at $10,000 cash. Her preliminary examination is scheduled for Jan. 31 in district court.
Grove's is also scheduled for a preliminary hearing in district court on Jan. 31. Armed robbery carries a maximum punishment of life in prison. Possession of a controlled substance carries a maximum sentencing of two years in prison and a $2,000 fine. His bond was set at $52,000 cash.
Both Grove and Gartland were lodged in the county jail. A third suspect – a 20-year-old Escanaba man – was also arrested at the home and lodged in jail in connection with the case. Officials are not releasing his name pending his arraignment.

The P5+1 -- the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China, facilitated by the European Union -- has been engaged in serious and substantive negotiations with Iran with the goal of reaching a verifiable diplomatic resolution that would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. This weekend, the P5+1 and Iran reached a set of initial understandings that halts the progress of Iran's nuclear program and rolls it back in key respects. These are the first meaningful limits that Iran has accepted on its nuclear program in close to a decade.
"The fact is that if this step -- first step -- leads to what is our ultimate goal, which is a comprehensive agreement that will make the world safer," Secretary of State John Kerry said during a press conference after the P5+1 talks with Iran in Geneva, Switzerland.
Secretary Kerry continued, "...It will make our partners in the region safer. It will make our ally Israel safer. This has been a difficult and a prolonged process. It's been difficult for us, and it's been difficult for our allies, and it's obviously been difficult for the Government of Iran. The next phase, let me be clear, will be even more difficult, and we need to be honest about it. But it will also be even more consequential."
"And while we obviously have profound differences with Iran yet to be resolved, the fact is that this agreement could not have been reached without the decision of the Iranian Government to come to the table and negotiate. And I want to say tonight that Foreign Minister Zarif worked hard, deliberated hard, and we are obviously, we believe, better that the decision was made to come here than not to, and to work hard to reach an agreement. And we thank the Foreign Minister for those efforts," the Secretary said.
"Together now, we need to set about the critical task of proving to the world what Iran has said many times -- that its program is in fact peaceful. Now, with this first step, we have created the time and the space in order to be able to pursue a comprehensive agreement that would finish the work that President Obama began on the very first day in office, and that is to ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon."

This whole issue about a "right to enrich" Iran maintains it has I think can be summed up like this:
Here in America one has an equal opportunity to learn how to drive a car and become licenced to do so legally...this does not mean that everyone has "the right" to drive...for it is a priviledge afforded to those who pass their driver's test, and opperate their vehicle in accordance with the law and safety standards set by each state's licencing authority, and if an individual violates those standards IE: drives drunk, drives recklessly, or without concern for other motorist's safety, then one's driving priviledge generally gets suspended or revoked by a judge...and more than likely have spent a few days in jail after having been arrested, with the vehicle inpounded, and be facing substantial fines and/or more jail time depending on the charges faced.
Sure , everyone has the opportunity to make use of atomic power for peacefull purposes, but like driving, it's a priviledge afforded to nations who opperate their nuclear programs according to safety standards and the protocols of treaties governing its use...the "licencing authority" in this case being the IAEA certifying that a nation is in compliance with its obligations just as every driver must carry liability insurance in order to legally opperate their vehicle on the road.
Now if I were driving my 4x4 chanting "death to..." over a PA mounted on the roof so everyone could hear, how long do you'all think it would be before I got stopped by a cop?
Naturally enough It would be hard to imagine that I was driving my car with peacefull intent.
Even if I maintained that I was excercising my rights to freedom of expression, and that I'd issued a fatwa forbidding myself from using my vehicle as a weapon of mass destructioin to clear sidewalks of pedestrians with...
I'd be stopped by a cop and taken to the hospital to be put under psyciatric observation, given a breathalizer test and possibly a blood test to determine if I was under the influence of drugs , and before I could pick up my 4x4 from the impound lot, I'm pretty sure the judge would require me to agree to attend an anger managment program and have me on probation before he'd dare restore my driving priviledges, being more or less a self-confessed imminent danger to the public at large.
And I certainly understand why the Israeli Prime Minister is concerned for pedestrian's safety with the ayatollah behind the wheel...
Now if this agreement reached puts a boot on the tire so the vehicle can't move, then greater public safety has been achieved in part, but untill the vehicle is dismantled there's always the possibility that boot will be removed and you'all are looking at dealing with a sidewalk clearing incident of tragic proportions.
Folks worked really hard to put a boot on the Ayatollah's nuclear program, and the diplomacy involved is commendable ....remarkable that it has achieved this much even...but only time will tell whether it ammounts to more than the "mistake" some claim this deal with Iran to be.

In short: mudDate of review: November 22, 2010
In short: An amazing event as usual :)In full: Great event, great organisation, amazing atmosphere, really great fun getting so muddy. Challenging course, mud, bogs and rivers. Had a great time and great goody bag - thanks!Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: Get up at 6am? Drive 100 miles? Run 10 miles and get hip-deep in wet, stinky mud? Yes every time!In full: Second time here and although the muck seemed a little easier than last year (ran 8 minutes quicker than 2009), I still loved it. See you all again in 12 months.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: Got a bit wetIn full: Surely you've got to be a bit unhinged to enjoy this sort of thing, but it seems that there's an entire sub-culture of people who choose to spend their Sunday mornings like this on a regular basis. I think I'm part of that sub-culture now! Great fun, and got better as it went on. Once you get to a certain stage, there's not much wetter or muddier that you can get and you learn to go with it. By the end I was loving it. It was my first trail race and the camaraderie was better than I've experienced at any road/park race before. Well organised, too. I'm very glad I was convinced to do it by a friend, who then dropped out the week before! His loss, my gain.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: I love these races, the more mud the better. I was exhausted but felt great.In full: After doing the Pembrokeshire challenge a couple of weeks ago i thought i would do this one to get me gong again.This tupe of event is such great fun and everyone should have a go. I was so tired at the end this year but i enjoyed every minute, Thanks to Mike and his team.Plenty of mud, plenty of puddles, nice and cold. My wife wonders when i will grow up, i am only 52 and all the time people organise all this mess to play in, it will be a while. i love it.Date of review: November 21, 2010

In short: mud glorious mud !!In full: lots more mud than last year plus horizontal torrential rain half way through definately made this the toughest race in hampshire this year. And then there was the turbo x zone - gets a good 8/10 on the 'tough guy' scale. just needs some things to climb over/ under !! .

Rookie Russell Henley won the Sony Open in Hawaii in what was his first event on the PGA Tour.
- Related Content
The 23-year-old carded his third 63 of the week to set a tournament scoring record, and a rookie record for the lowest 72-hole total in PGA Tour history.
Finishing 24 under par, Henley birdied the final five to finish seven under for the round and three shots clear of Tim Clark in second place to ensure his PGA Tour card for the next year as well as spots at the Masters and PGA Championship.
Henley was dominant from start to finish at Waialae, where he played the par fours in 17 under and at one point went 50 holes without a bogey.
Henley - who had earlier become the first player to reach 17 under par after 54 holes on the course - made the ideal start after he birdied the first, but he picked up his first bogey of the tournament on the par four eighth, as he moved back to his overnight score.
Undeterred, Henley picked up under-par scores on nine and 10 before his stunning finish saw off the challenge of Clark who himself finished strongly.
The South African picked up birdies on the last four holes to finish on 21 under par after a final round of 63, registering eight birdies and a bogey.
Charles Howell III finished third thanks in part to an eagle on the par three ninth, which was the backbone of a solid round of 66.
Howell didn't drop a shot in the final round, as birdies at five and 15 saw him to an overall score of 17 under par.
Scott Langley faded out of contention with a poor back nine. the 23-year-old was just two shots off the lead after the 11th hole, but bogeys on the par four, 13, 15 and 16 cost the rookie any hope he had of picking up a tour win on his first appearance.

Topic: Rails vs. ASP.NET MVC 4
Hello Community,
I am coming from a .NET world where I've developed applications for years. Right now I am in the middle of starting a new web-based venture and I am trying to find the right technology for the job. Of course, my first and obvious choice was ASP.NET 4 with MVC. However, I had also heard about Rails and I decided to play around with it. I can see how powerful and easy-to-use rails is, but right now I can't imagine developing a data-heavy app with complex business logic using it. Since this is a Rails forum I would like you guys to convince me to use Rails over ASP.NET.
Right now, the only advantages of using Rails for me are:
- Cheaper hosting
- Not in any way related to Microsoft ;)
- I can use my Mac for development instead of a slow Windows Virtual Machine.
Right now, my main problem in Rails is the business logic. In .NET I would structure my app as follows:
ASP.NET MVC -> Service Layer -> Business Layer -> Data Layer. Thus, the Model in MVC already works with business object (which, for the Model is the pure data). The Data Layer is completely decoupled from the rest of the application, and I can add Web Services on top of the Business Layer later on. This is necessary because my Data and Business Logic are very complex and will be extended constantly. It's a very scalable design allowing for a lot of flexibiity.
However, it seems like Rails forces me the work within the MVC triangle. The Model NEEDS to be connected to the database in order for Rails to make sense of my application. I don't see how I could structure complex business logic with a design like this. And even if I could, if I scale my application I would need to mess around in database and models, which will be ugly. Any thoughts on this?
For me, another disadvantage of Rails is that I need to search for gems in order to implement simple features. User authentication, authorization, caching, security, etc, etc. I might be lucky to find a gem that has it, but it's very unlikely that it will fit my business needs completely. ASP.NET and the .NET framework has everything you could every wish for integrated and ready to use.
The third big point is performance. We all know about the performance difference in compiled and interpreted languages. Sure, data design and caching will be more critical to perfomance than the actual lange. But since I'm operating on large amounts of data, it might actually make a difference once my app grows.
Any thoughts on these points or on Rails vs. ASP.NET in general? What are the big advantages of using Rails?

Indian trust settlement brings high volume of calls
The Office of the Special Trust for American Indians offices in North Dakota and across the country have been inundated with phone calls and walk-ins since a court approved the first payments from the $3.4 billion Indian trust settlement.
People calling or personally visiting the offices have questions or want to update or make sure their contact information is correct, said an OST official.
"They have to divert attention from all their regular duties," said Debby Pafel, a spokeswoman for OST in Washington, D.C. She said those offices are getting many calls and walk-ins because people have a great deal of interest in updating their information.
She said people with questions also have been contacting the Bureau of Indian Affairs, their congressional members and OST in Washington, D.C.
Who to contact
Both Pafel and David Smith, an attorney with Kilpatrick Townsend, the Washington, D.C., attorney representing the plaintiffs, encourage people who wish to update their contact information or who have questions about the trust settlement to visit the Cobell website at (www.cobellsettlement.com) or call its toll-free number at 1-800-961-6109.
Questions can also be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or the mailing address is: Indian Trust Settlement, P.O. Box 9577, Dublin, Ohio 43017-4877.
Smith said another option is for people to call the law firm at 866-383-6554, a number dedicated to the class members.
The Office of the Special Trust for American Indians, established by a federal act in 1994, was created to improve the accountability and management of Indian funds held in trust by the federal government.
OST has more than 50 fiduciary trust officer positions. The fiduciary trust officers serve as the primary points of contact for Indian beneficiary inquiries and work closely with BIA personnel. They are located with or near many BIA agencies or field offices.
In North Dakota, there are OST offices at Fort Berthold, Turtle Mountain, Standing Rock and Spirit Lake reservations.
"The 50 fiduciary trust officers and staff are doing incredible work," Pafel said.
The historic Cobell lawsuit (Cobell v. Salazar) was filed in 1996 by lead plaintiff Elouise Cobell against the U.S. Department of Interior for mishandling of Indian trust funds and accounts.
Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet tribe in Montana, did not live to see the settlement checks from the lawsuit being issued. She died in October 2011.
The first checks of $1,000 each from the settlement were sent in mid-December to nearly 264,000 people in the Historical Accounting Class. Members of another class, the Trust Administration Class, will be paid later.
Smith said 75 percent of the recipients' addresses were correct in this first stage of payments. He said they were pleased that many addresses were correct.
Unfortunately, he said some of the addresses were old addresses and through various means, as he mentioned previously, they are trying to locate the current addresses.
"We knew how bad Interior (Department) records were," Smith said, noting the case involved 16 years of litigation.
Based on U.S. Department of Interior records, almost 40,000 Historical Accounting Class members are shown as "whereabouts unknown." The awards for these class members have been deposited in their Individual Indian Money, also known as IIM, accounts and they only need to update their contact information to be able to claim their award, according to the website. Another 10,000 class members have no contact information in the records furnished by Interior.
Smith said the Garden City Group Inc., the court-appointed claims administrator handling the distribution of the payments, has had a high volume of calls 50,000 to 60,000 calls a day from beneficiaries.
International effort
Pafel said that locating IIM account holders is an international effort because they live all over the United States, in Canada and other countries. She said the account holders also are a full range of ages from minors to elders. She also noted people who were adopted and eligible for payment may not have their up-to-date addresses listed.
"We want to get our WAU (whereabouts unknown accounts) to zero," Pafel said. As of the end of December, she said there were slightly more than 83,000 WAUs with more than $110 million in those accounts.
In past years, there were more than 100,000 WAUs but that number has come down, she said. She said people now are getting in touch and updating their information.
"We're all working together OST, the Garden City group…," Pafel said. She said they hope the information they gather and the lessons learned will make for a better and more efficient stage two payment.
The second stage is the Trust Administration Class payment that will be done at a later date. The minimum amounts of the second payments will be about $800 but some people will receive more based on the activity of their IIM account. Beneficiaries of this class payment should file a claim that must be postmarked by March 1, according to the Cobell settlement website. Those currently receiving IIM account statements do not need to file a claim form.

Lo Bueno:* Based on a light novel series by Hirasaka Yomi with illustrations by Buriki.
Hasegawa Kodaka, a half-Japanese/half-British boy, has recently transferred to a Catholic High School, St. Chronica's Academy, and as always, finds it impossible to make friends there due to his naturally blond hair, inherited from his dead English mother, which makes him look like a dangerous delinquent to his prejudiced peers. One day after school, he enters the classroom witnessing the equally solitary and very abrasive girl Mikazuki Yozora while she speaks to her Imaginary Friend Tomo. They decide that the best way to improve their social situation is to form a club - the Rinjinbu (Neighbour's Club) - just to make friends and learn social skills.
Five other members soon join, starting with the school's well-connected and arrogant idol Kashiwazaki Sena, who has many male admirers but no female friends due to jealousy. Kusunoki Yukimura, a girl pretending to be a boy, who idealises and follows Kodaka in the hope that it will teach her to become manlier. Kobato, Kodaka's younger sister who is attending St. Chronica's middle school division and has a penchant for darkness, vampires and the macabre ever since she started watching an anime called Full Metal Necromancer. Shiguma Rika, a perverted underclassman and well-known scientific genius, who speaks in the third person and was saved by Kodaka during a failed experiment, thereafter trying to repay him with sex. And finally Takayama Maria, a precocious 10-year-old teacher and nun at the academy, who becomes the club adviser.

Selected Scriptures
There are two important tests in Scripture for a person to determine whether or not he or she is a true believer.
There is first of all an objective test, which asks, "Do I believe?" Ask yourself if you affirm the Scripture's record of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Do you believe that He is God manifest in the flesh? Do you believe that God saves sinners solely through the merits of Jesus Christ's obedient life and substitutionary death on the cross?
Second is the subjective or experiential test of assurance in which you ask yourself, "Is my faith real?" The apostle John's purpose in writing the epistle of 1 John was to give true believers assurance of their salvation (1 John 5:13). In that small epistle John gives several marks to distinguish a true believer.
In summary, one's assurance of salvation does not need to be based on a past decision or an experience. It should rest first of all on one's faith in the objective truth of God's Word, Jesus Christ, and the gospel. Secondly, it should rest on the reality of a changed life marked by obedience, a love for Christ and His righteousness, and a hatred for sin. Take heart if these things are true in your life, and trust God to continue to work out His salvation in your life.

Sony Corp. plans to showcase a 360° autostereoscopic 3D display at Siggraph conference in late July, 2010. Although the display is far from mass production and has a lot of chances not to reach it at all, the demonstration of the device by a leading maker of consumer electronics is very noteworthy by itself.
Sony's 360° autostereoscopic display allows views of full-color volumetric objects from all angles, as if the objects really exist. It uses special LED light sources to show 360 unique images to all directions in one-degree separations. Viewers can sense the depth of the displayed object because their left and right eyes are seeing different images. Naturally, no special 3D glasses are needed to see the 3D image.
The 360° display has a digital-video input port for connection to computers or other devices. When video data is supplied to the display, moving volumetric objects appear inside the cylinder. When 360° CG movies are generated by a graphic processor in real time and supplied to the display, the user can move and interact with the volumetric object. The display is also equipped with a gesture sensor that can interactively control the orientation of the object in response to the user's hand motions.
This system is the first volumetric 3D display device that features a high-quality 3D image (360 view points), 24-bit full color, a compact size, and interactive live motion with digital video interface. It has many potential applications, such as amusement, professional visualization, digital signage, museum display, video games, and futuristic 3D telecommunication.
Considering that the movies should be generated by graphics processor, the device probably requires a rather powerful GPU to "convert" traditional movies into its proprietary autostereoscopic 3D format.

Seagate Technology has announced a new hard disk drive with self-encryption chip that had received FIPS 140-2 certification from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The drive is aimed at various regulated industries, including healthcare, defense and finance. The company hopes that the novelty will dramatically boost popularity of self-encrypting drives (SEDs).
The key government certification clears the way for deployments of Momentus SEDs by all U.S. and Canadian federal agencies, many state and local governments, and regulated industries such as healthcare, finance and defense required to use FIPS-certified gear to help protect sensitive data on PCs and computer networks. Many utility, education and transportation entities also have adopted the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 standard to lock down confidential information. Foreign governments in addition to Canada also recognize FIPS-validated products. The Momentus self-encrypting drive is the first hard drive with native encryption to earn the FIPS certification.
Seagate Momentus hard disk drives with FIPS-compliant encryption are available in 250GB and 500GB capacities and feature 7200rpm spindle speed. The drives are designed for Serial ATA-300 interface and are equipped with 16MB cache. Based on specifications, it is unlikely that the new SEDs will offer leading-edge performance, however, the main advantage of the novelty is security, not performance.
The AES encryption chip in the Momentus SEDs automatically and transparently encrypts all drive data, not just selected files or partitions. The 2.5"drive also eliminates disk initialization and configuration required by encryption software, allows IT administrators to instantly erase all data cryptographically so the drive can be quickly and easily redeployed, and delivers full inline-speed encryption with no impact to system performance. Momentus SEDs keep all security keys and cryptographic operations within the drive, separating them from the operating system to provide greater protection against hacking and tampering than traditional software alternatives, which can give thieves backdoor access to encryption keys and are otherwise more vulnerable to key theft.
The FIPS 140-2 seal of approval comes three years after NIST, the federal agency focused on promoting product innovation by establishing technical standards for government and business, certified the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) chip built into the Momentus drive. Seagate has shipped more than a million of its self-encrypting laptop drives since their introduction in 2006. With the Seagate Momentus with FIPS 140-2 the company hopes to sell another million of SEDs in calendar 2011.

Hi guys, I've been drinking white tea for about 2 years now, ordering from different sources almost every time.
So far it seems that 99% of the silver needle white tea I have ordered, was grown in the Fujian Province, once I ordered some tea that was supposedly grown in the Yunnan province, and it was HORRIBLE, it tasted like bacon and/or those little bits of pork that's put in some soups. Anyway, without paying much attention I purchased this yunnan stuff again, from a different seller, uggghhh... 1lb of it even.
Supposedly 2011 harvest, in addition to that, it tastes just as bad as the other yunnan grown stuff I've had.
Now does anyone know how to identify counterfeit white tea??
Below is an image of, on the left, the bacon tasting (and smelling), horrible tea, which I hate with a passion, and on the right is some delicious 2011 harvest silver needle
On the left is this Yunnan province tea (tastes like bacon bits), on the right is the Fujian Province tea (tastes like delicious tea),
Here is an image of the different tea leaves together. I also noticed that when I brew the tea on the right, the fujian province stuff, i see little silver needles floating at the surface of the liquid, but not with the Yunnan stuff.
How can I know this is really camellia sinensis?
Please contribute your knowledge and opinions.

The BEST ghee we've had.
Posted by 5287288002365978083 on Dec 24, 2014
Really first-rate! Beautiful, smooth texture, excellent mellow buttery flavour, guarantees no casein (a huge bonus for us!) and made from pastured cow's milk. And organic. But the high quality of this ghee really surprised me. I've been using a different brand of pastured, organic ghee, and had no idea that such a delicious, aromatic, pure ghee even existed until I tried this. I really could not say enough good things about it. I had intended to use it for only a certain purpose, but have found that I am adding it to a lot more, and will have to order a lot more, more frequently!
Posted by 5550930918447672617 on Jan 13, 2015
I recently moved and did not have a source for inexpensive ghee until I found it here. It is really delicious! I mix it in with lentils, vegetables, rice and spices for a vegetarian lunch.
Ghee is great alternative to butter: lactose & casein-free
Posted by 5566367537699191179 on Jan 28, 2015
I have a long-standing issue with dairy & digestion, but love the taste of butter. This Ghee, a kind of purified butter, that has removed lactose & casein is the perfect substitute. It spread easily, needs no refrigeration and tastes great. Good high temp cooking is good, too. I used to buy it at the local health food store, but it was much more pricey. Try this, once, yo'll be hooked!
Posted by Wakeupgrindrepeat on Jun 22, 2015
Wonderful product :) Currently on a ketogenic diet and this makes my food taste great !
Posted by 4749357837328315197 on Oct 13, 2013
Good butter alternative for lactose intolerant and to use for cooking and baking. It has a creamy texture and doesn't need to be kept in the fridge like regular butter.
can't miss it.
Posted by Reviewer2131678 on Oct 15, 2013
I make butter cake with it. very special butter favor. will buy again.
Great base for paleos who love butter.
Posted by 4917275383872279319 on Sep 27, 2013
Ghee has been a godsend for me and my quest of paleo living. The important thing to remember with ghee (or anything that has the word butter in it) is to use it in moderation. I could go Julia Child on most dishes and use butter like it's water, so I really have to watch myself.
Just right, Ghee!
Posted by Reviewer2355564 on Nov 12, 2014
This organic Ghee is a staple in my kitchen. I have been using it for several years now. It is one of the few fats that I use for cooking(avoiding the nasties of chemical extracted oils), and adds a nice buttery taste. Also good for making popcorn in my microwave popper. The most important use for us is as a healthy fat ingredient added to my pets' raw food diet. An added bonus is the nice, sleek heavy jars. I save all the jars for storing herbs, spices, sprouting seeds, carob nibs, what-have-you.
Golden Ghee
Posted by 4938411125525563921 on Oct 23, 2013
This Organic Ghee's buttery goodness gives all other butters a run for their money! ^.^ ^.^ ^.^
Love it
Posted by chantale on Sep 18, 2013
I love the taste ! I'm not a big fan of butter but this Ghee organic butter is very good. It's difficult to find this quality in Montreal, ordering in iherb it's perfect for me !

While the Red Sox have not fared too well in their past 6 games, it has not slowed down the bat of Adrian Gonzalez, who continues to put up a show for all of baseball to see. He leads a slew of powerful first basemen, a group that the American League All-Star club may not be able to carry with all of the depth. Who will be the snub? Only time will tell. These are the American League Power Rankings as on June 27th.
1) Adrian Gonzalez – BOS (Last Week: 1)
Adrian Gonzalez is now leading the American League in hitting, with a batting average of .361, and RBIs, with an astounding total of 71. At this pace, the Red Sox star is on pace to win the batting title and knock in around 150 runs. (more…)

Bonn / St. Petersburg, 24 November 2010 – At the International Tiger Forum, Governments of 13 countries that host tiger populations agreed to double tiger numbers by 2022 and endorsed the St. Petersburg Declaration in a historic effort to save the Asian big cat from extinction.
Actions will focus on protecting the tiger's habitat, addressing poaching, illegal trade and providing the financial resources for this emergency plan.
Over the last century, tiger numbers have plummeted from about 100,000 to less than 3,500 tigers in the wild today. Three sub-species of tigers have already completely disappeared and the fate of the other six is at stake. The last decade alone has seen a decline of almost 40 per cent in tiger numbers and habitat as a result of human-made threats, such as, in particular, habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade and poaching and human–tiger conflicts.
Executive Secretary, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Secretariat stressed: "Safeguarding international migration corridors and trans-border habitats will be crucial for global efforts to save the tiger. The Convention on Migratory Species is unique in that it can provide a framework to protect not only the animal, but also its habitat."
Global Tiger Recovery Program
In order to stop its devastating decline, the 13 countries have agreed to strengthen international collaboration to protect the majestic Asian wild cat.
Scientific monitoring will be improved to help restore the species' habitats and its trans-boundary corridors. Halting poaching and illegal trade of tigers and tiger products is a core component of the conservation strategy.
Creating incentives for local people to protect tigers and strengthening wildlife law enforcement and legislation will be vital to achieve the ambitious St. Petersburg targets. It is hoped that conflicts occurring between tigers and local communities will be reduced by involving local people more actively in biodiversity protection.
The Tiger has played a very important role in Asian nature and culture for centuries. Almost half of the world's population --3.3 billion people-- live in the countries of the tiger's distribution range in Asia. Therefore immediate and effective steps are necessary to create an economic and ecological balance matching the interests of these states towards a safe future for the tiger.
Tigers being on top of the food chain have an important umbrella function to maintain the biodiversity of its habitat. As such they maintain the biodiversity of the region, contribute to a healthy ecosystem and generate tourist revenue for economies through tiger watching and safaris.
The Terai Arc Landscape between India and Nepal shows how conservation efforts to save the tiger have also resulted in increased benefits for the endangered rhino and other animals in the region. The ecosystems in these countries support tigers, their prey and a vast amount of biodiversity. Any efforts to conserve the tiger as an umbrella species will also ensure that the rich biodiversity of these areas is protected.
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam are the tiger range countries that have committed towards implementing the Global Tiger Recovery Program.
"This concerted effort is not only a vital part of maintaining biodiversity and key environmental services. People will also benefit from improved access to these resources. The Convention on Migratory Species stands ready to give whatever help it can to assist global efforts to save tigers in the wild," said CMS Ambassador Stanley Johnson at the Tiger Summit.
The St. Petersburg Declaration
The Global Tiger Recovery Program, which is the strategic plan envisaged by the St. Petersburg Declaration, has been adopted by countries and a roadmap for post-summit action is also being discussed. Deliberations regarding the development of an institutional structure to implement the aims and objectives of the Declaration and its Recovery Program are also underway.
The objectives of the St. Petersburg Declaration, which acknowledges the role of the CMS and other biodiversity-related conventions such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), include exploring new financing mechanisms under the United Nations Collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) in developing and emerging countries.
The Tiger Summit hosted by the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the President of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, from 21-24 November in St. Petersburg, Russia, is the result of years of efforts by the Global Tiger Initiative (GTI). In a last-ditch effort to save the tiger, the World Bank together with the GTI, an alliance of governments, international agencies and civil society, the scientific community, UN agencies and NGOs have contributed to improving global biodiversity management practices through better conservation of wild tigers and their habitats.
Notes to Editors:
The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (UNEP/CMS), also known as the Bonn Convention, works for the conservation of a wide array of endangered migratory animals worldwide through the negotiation and implementation of agreements and action plans. At present, 114 countries are parties to the Convention. (www.cms.int)
At the 9th CMS Conference of Parties the Scientific Council put a special focus on tigers and other Asian Big Cats and highlighted the importance of taking steps to reverse the rapid decline of wild tigers. As 20 per cent of tiger habitat is trans-border, the need for transboundary co-operation among tiger range countries is emphasized.
A proposal for listing the tiger on the CMS Appendices may be submitted by Bangladesh or India in November 2011 at the 10th Conference of the Parties.
Tiger Conservation Status:
According to the IUCN Red List, the South China Tiger and the Sumatra Tiger is Critically Endangered while the remaining four sub species are Endangered. The Bali, Caspian and Javan Tiger have already become extinct.
Tigers are listed on CITES Appendix I, banning international trade, and all Tiger range states as well as countries with consumer markets have banned domestic trade as well although implementation has been uneven. At the 14th Conference of the Parties to CITES, stronger enforcement measures were called for, as well as an end to the production of tiger products from captive tigers.
According to the GTI, the remaining populations number the following number of tigers: India 1,200-1650; Indonesia 450-700; Bangladesh 400; Nepal 350; Russia 350; Bhutan 70-80; China 40-50; Cambodia 10-50; Laos 50; Vietnam less than 30; Burma about 100; Thailand 250-500; Malaysia 300-500.

Shakira is a mama.
A spokeswoman for the 35-year-old Colombian singer says Shakira Mebarak and 25-year-old soccer star Gerard Pique of FC Barcelona welcomed son Milan Pique Mebarak on Tuesday at 9:36 p.m. in Barcelona, Spain.
A statement posted on the pop star's site in English, Spanish and Catalan says that "just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth." The statement also says Milan weighed approximately 6 pounds, 6 ounces (2.9 kilograms), and that "both mother and child are in excellent health."
Shakira asked fans earlier Tuesday on Twitter "to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life."
USA TODAY's Ann Oldenburg points out that Milan, the couple's first child, means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification." (And it's the name of a major industrial city in Italy.)
Pique, a center back, has 124 caps for Barcelona since 2008 and has scored nine goals. He made his senior debut with Manchester United in October 2004 as a late replacement for John O'Shea and made his full debut on March 29, 2006. Man U loaned Pique to Spanish League team Real Zaragoza on Aug. 4, 2006, before returning to Manchester for the 2007-08 season.
Pique has also represented the Spanish national team, making his debut on 11 February 2009. He played an integral role in the Spain team that won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012.
