Bishop/Carey Family Photo Album - Oh What a Find!
I am not sure which family member owned the album or how it ever got separated from family members, but I hope to find some living descendants.
Does the name Rev. Archibald Carey, Sr. or his son Rev. Archibald Carey, Jr ring any bells? How about Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop? Honestly, I never heard of them before, but I am learning all about them now.
Rev. Bishop was the fifth rector of St. Philip's Church in Harlem, the second oldest black congregation in the Episcopal Church. He was a driving force behind founder, well-known psychiatrist Frederic Wertham, in the establishment of the Lafargue Clinic in 1946. It was housed in St. Philip's providing counseling and psychotherapy for Harlem residents at a cost of 25 cents per visit. It was the first mental health clinic in the world to serve people of color. It operated from the end of WWII until the 1960s when Elizabeth Bishop Davis, MD, a volunteer at the clinic and daughter of Rev. Shelton Bishop, became the first Chief of Psychiatry at Harlem Hospital.
Rev. Bishop was married to the sister of Rev. Archibald Carey. After today I will post one page at a time and share what I have learned about this family.

Leslie Ann,ReplyDelete
Long before my birth, my uncle, Warren Logan, Jr. was married to Rev. Shelton Bishop's sister Augusta. They were married until Warren's death in 1924. My family, the Logans, were friends of Shelton, his other sister Vicki Bishop Schuster, and his daughter Beth Bishop Davis who was a colleague of my father, Arthur, and aunt, Mayra Logan, both of whom were doctors at harlem Hospital.
I found your blog via Dee Welborn and enjoy what you are doing here! It's tough work finding families for heirlooms. I have a silver baby cup I have been working on for some time, and know about dead ends! I look forward to following along on your work.ReplyDelete
Hi Leslie Ann,ReplyDelete
I found your blog after googling Beth Bishop Davis Trussel. Thank you for posting these pictures - Beth's grandfather (Hutchens Chew Bishop) was my grandfather's grandfather. I love seeing the old family photos!
Thanks again,
Tamson Smith
Hi Tamson,ReplyDelete
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos!
Do you have any photos of Hutchens Bishop. I am doing a history of Mt. Calvary/St Mary teh Virgin in Baltimore, in which his family were prominent members.ReplyDelete

Six former Farmlands directors have banded together to support the proposed merger with South Island farm-supply counterpart CRT.
"We have all read and considered the proposed merger documents sent to all shareholders and reviewed the supporting documents on the Farmlands website," the men said.
The former directors are John Hathaway (Bay of Plenty), who served from 1987-2005, Sam Robinson (Hawke's Bay) 1996-2008, Ross Linklater (Manawatu) 1996-2011, Roger Barton (Wairarapa) 1998-2010, Dennis Munro (Gisborne/Wairoa) 2002-2011, Steve Wyn-Harris (Hawke's Bay) 2003-2012.
"We all strongly believe that this is a sound proposal with good commercial merits and each one of us will be voting in favour of the merger.
"Five of us were members of the Farmlands board when it considered a potential merger with CRT six years ago. At that time, Farmlands' market share of the rural supplies business was 12 per cent and we believed then it was in the best interests of Farmlands' shareholders to instead concentrate on the gains that could be had in the North Island first.
"With a change in strategic positioning and an excellent management team, within five years this market share grew from 12 per cent to 27 per cent and sales went from $360 million to $773 million.
The directors said the landscape had changed, with further industry rationalisation and growth in the size of suppliers.
"We believe that the company is now positioned very well to consider an option such as the proposed merger," they said. "The current board has not sought our public support for this potential merger between Farmlands and CRT and the initiative of this letter is ours alone."
Two member-elected directors of rural co-operative Farmlands resigned in protest over the proposed merger. Charlie Pedersen (West Coast, North Island) and Hugh Ritchie (East Coast, North Island) said, as the two largest-transacting directors on the Farmlands board, they did not believe members had all the information to make a fully informed decision.
They said the co-operative's members should know the board was unanimous on the proposal, no agreement had been reached as to how members would be represented and a consultant who had driven the merger process stood to receive a significant success fee if the merger went ahead.
Farmlands chairman, Lachie Johnstone, said the board would make a recommendation on a representative structure when it was appropriate.
He said the numbers for post-merger savings had been independently assessed by two parties.

The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself
Available in:
This is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity. Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.

L'objectif du présent document est de mieux définir certaines caractéristiques des ressources humaines qui s'avèrent indispensables si l'on veut «contribuer» au processus de convergence progressive et de collaboration entre les divers acteurs.
FAO Natural Resources Management and Environment Department has started a process to gather information on landscape/territorial approaches which are planned, being implemented or have been finalized to identify opportunities to improve synergies and collaborate more effectively to strengthen support to member countries and partners in this regard. As part of this process a pilot survey was undertaken in February 2013. A summary of the results from the pilot survey is available for your reference. This further survey is to collect further information on the diverse landscape/territorial initiatives to obtain a more complete representation of the suite of work under-taken and, thereby, to effectively inform and facilitate this harmonization and outreach process. We welcome an active response from relevant FAO technical/officers, project staff and your direct partners (The survey closes July 31).

The future of sculpture is here!
At the Faire: A presentation of various 3D printed and sculptural artworks from Dennis Harroun
Dennis Harroun has been collaborating with a specialty 3D printing service (Offload Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia) as well as using his own "B9 Creator" to bring my CG models to life!
The possibility to utilize additive manufacturing printers for art is now reaching the consumer level and beyond!
These Color prints represent the latest in 3D printing technology whereas the B9 creator produces incredible results for a fraction of the price as a printer that can also add color through each "pass" or "layer". Many new possibilities for jewelry and finely detailed or even "impossible to make by hand" designs are now within the reach of anyone willing to learn 3D modeling. As a sculptor utilizing such programs as Maya, Mudbox and Zbrush Dennis creates pieces in the computer then send these finished files to the printer much like one would a text document.
More information on Dennis' work at his website: http://dharrounmodels.blogspot.com/

|In response to Re: Best quality bathroom faucets?
: We are looking for quality faucets for sink and shower. We bought Delta shower faucet and Moen sink faucet at Expo. (The salesman said they were about the same. I thought Delta was supposed to be a good quality (the price was $200- 300 for each). But should they be made of plastic? We expected more for the money. Or are we really buying the inside parts at this price? We went to a small supply place and just became more confused.
: Thanks, Jennifer

The psychology program at Lawrence Technological University is partnering with the city of Southfield and the church to provide training to parents and their children. Eight weekly sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings running through May 9. A $10 donation is requested.
Interested parents can contact the program facilitators, Lawrence Tech Psychology Degree Program Director Matthew Cole, firstname.lastname@example.com, (248) 248-3541, or the Rev. Leon Jefferson, Hope United Methodist Church associate pastor, email@example.com, (248) 356-1020, www.hopeumc.org.
The complete STEP program will be offered, including communication skills, effective consequences, drug awareness and understanding feelings through role playing and teaching exercises. Each parent will receive a STEP program book.
The program is needed now because of a variety of issues including single parents, school drop outs in early childhood, violence in the home, and problems communicating, according to Cole.
"Parents and their children are facing a vast array of stresses that compete with healthy communication and mutual respect, and the STEP program will help parents acquire strategies and tools to improve communication and foster mutual respect," Cole said.
Lawrence Technological University, www.ltu.edu, is a private university founded in 1932 that offers more than 100 programs through the doctoral level in its Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. Students benefit from small class sizes and experienced faculty who provide a real-world, hands-on, "theory and practice" education. Activities on Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus include over 60 student groups and NAIA varsity sports.

It's so funny looking at ppl flaming each other over music.
Not as funny as false accusations. Know what I mean WiSeMaN?
There's about as much relation between music and the year it was released as there is between Pirates and global warming.
There's been some absolutely amazing bands that have come out recently, if you want to blanket ban anything from 96 onwards and thus detrimentally harm your own chances of finding any great new music - Then fair enough. But you're a fool to do so.
And relating to the RIAA, what do you mean not for a long time? Independent record labels are massively on the rise at the moment - Just look at Domino records as a perfect example. Record companies are quaking in their boots as customers go further and further towards piracy, bands are being forced into self management/marketting - this is a GOOD thing.
More people are hearing more music than ever before thanks to the internet, bands are taking off from myspace pages and forum worship (arctic monkeys, periphery) this is a prime time for the musician.
Geez...Another moment where a simple question turns into a flame war. I was asking Wiseman what he meant by heavy metal because there seems to be a lot of confusion on the subject. For example, most tweenage girls classify the Jonas Bros. as "Rock". They are not Rock. They are Pop Rock.
Just like one prick actually called Cradle of Filth 'Goth Metal'.
See what I'm getting at?

Tips for Laid-Off Wall Street Losers
This isn't all about you, Main Street: Wall Street is going to lose 10,000 jobs by the end of next year, according to New York's comptroller. On top of more than 20,000 jobs already lost since 2008. That's a lot of unemployed bankers wandering around in a semi-fugue state!
When these tens of thousand of dazed, rumpled suit-wearing post-bankers wake up on Unemployment Day One, what are they to do with themselves? Probably get totally wasted for the first week or two. But then what? Some suggestions for a post-banking life, in a post-Wall Street world.
- Thank God you're out of there.
- Just lay around, spending all that money you made.
- Look on the bright side: now you can start mocking the private jet industry like everyone else.
- Personal training, personal training, personal training.
- Finally have time to read Das Kapital.
- Move to white part of Brooklyn. Embrace "hip" Brooklyn trends. Grow sick of said trends. Become filled with self-loathing. Reject your Brooklyn lifestyle experiment and return to the business world, just in time for "returning to the business world" to become the latest Brooklyn trend.
- Make yourself useful for once.
- Occupy Wall Street.

Research in the Miller group focuses on two fundamental areas: the control of biomolecular interactions through the synthesis of new small-molecule probes, and the observation of biomolecular interactions through the development of novel optical sensing technologies. In the area of control, we are particularly interested in the sequence-selective recognition of RNA. New RNA sequences with important functions in basic biology and human health and disease are being discovered at an ever-increasing rate, and yet our ability to target these sequences specifically is still at a rudimentary stage. To address this gap, we are applying techniques of molecular design and a novel combinatorial method of small-molecule evolution called Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry, which allows us to rapidly "prototype"

HUNTINGTON - Our teardrop from heaven, Brennan Thayne Cox, age 4, returned to his loving Heavenly Father on July 3, 2008 at Primary Children's Hospital. He was born April 14, 2004 to Michael Thayne and Montica Mangum Cox in Price, Utah.
Brennan is a loving, caring, happy, rowdy, brave, energetic, snuggly boy who loved playing in the outdoors, collecting bugs, playing baseball, jumping on the trampoline, pretending to be a superhero, playing with his sister, and playing Star Wars with his dad. His favorite TV shows were He-man, Scooby Doo, and Curious George. Some of his favorite pastimes were to walk to Grandpa Dukers house and being called his lil' cowboy where he loved riding on Grandpas' tractor. He also loved to go up to Grandpa's mountain in Joe's Valley. His favorite colors are green and red and he loved to eat pizza rolls. He is a very smart boy who loved books and loved to learn especially at pre-school with his friends. He will always be remembered as a loving peacemaker that cared for everyone and told them "I love you" often.
He is survived by his parents; his sister, Jaceleigh Rose Cox; grandparents, Thayne and Carol Cox of Orangeville, Monty and Marcia Mangum of Huntington; great-grandparents, Ruth Cox of Orangeville, and Jack and Frances Davis also of Orangeville; many aunts and uncles; and many cousins.
He is preceded in death by his great-grandfather, Fred Cox; great-grandmother, Plomo Johnson; and great-grandparents, Darwin and Leola Mangum.
Funeral Services were held Monday, July 7, 2008 at 11 a.m. at the Huntington LDS First Ward Chapel (115 South 400 East). A viewing was held Sunday, July 6, 2008 from 6-8 p.m. at the Huntington LDS First Ward and one hour prior to the service at the church. Interment in the Huntington City Cemetery. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary.

I admit it freely - I completely bought into their pre-release hype and I have no one to blame but myself. But I'm resourceful if not anything - that $180 Collector's Edition I bought makes a downright dandy doorstop.
They better have plenty of fire extinguishers for all those burning questions.

Also players can now put forth questions on twitter, where they will be reviewed in a live environment by moderators and tossed aside, all in real-time.
Sounds like every other EA Q&A session?
Lets pick a question that will actually get on the stream .. hmm, can't be anything about this games future and the sluggish content updates, stale lifeless environments, no open PVP on PVP servers, abuse of instancing/phasing .. .. hmm .. ah, I got it: "What is Jeff Hickman's favorite speeder?"

Good option for dress
"Its a perfect option for dress and very comfy to walk as well."

It's all right but...
"I can't really say anything bad about this shoe. It's really comfortable from day one and can be worn with lots of stuff (e.g. jeans, long skirts), but really, it's just a little bit frumpy. However, in a pinch, it's the easiest thing to grab and throw on. You can walk long distances in it and it wears really well. Looking at it, you'd never know I've worn it as much as I have. It's just not a sexy shoe."

"The shoes run a little slightly long so I ordered an 8 instead of 81/2. They are comfortable and look nice with a skirt or slacks. The upper part is leather although when I ordered them I had read that they were not leather. . Leather is better anyway."

Isaac Sacolick is CIO of McGraw Hill Construction, where he leads MHC's technology strategy and execution.
Isaac Sacolick of McGraw Hill Construction explains how personalized apps create business value.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
PwC: Isaac, can you please tell us about your business and your role there?
IS: Sure. I work for McGraw Hill Construction as the business unit CIO. We provide essential data, news, insights, and intelligence to better inform construction professionals' decisions and strengthen their market position. Our primary customers include general contractors [GC] and building product manufacturers.
Historically our products were in print format. More than a decade ago, we started providing our content in digital form. That transformation seeded our data business. During the past few years, we have been transforming from a data business to an intelligence, analytics, and insights business that provides intelligence on relationships, such as which GCs and architects owners work with, and forecasts on industry trends. Our offerings help businesses in the construction ecosystem size market opportunities, target and build relationships, and optimize their sales activity. Dodge, which is our key database of construction project information, has more than 5,000 project updates reported each day, so the data stays fresh and actionable for all participants in the ecosystem.
Most of my responsibility is for the customer-facing products and our internal operations—so, the systems for business intelligence, product delivery, content management, CRM [customer relationship management], lead generation, and others. Over the last three years we've established a global agile software delivery practice and new data technology platforms that have enabled us to launch five new products. I spend very little of my time on things such as data centers and infrastructure, which our corporate IT organization provides to us as a managed shared service.
PwC: What are your key priorities today as they relate to the future of enterprise applications in McGraw Hill Construction?
IS: Our strategic priorities are to continue moving beyond pure data services. Reporting and analytics are a big part of that, as well as applications that integrate analytics within the context of how our internal and external users work. For example, our sales force uses our solutions in the context of selling. If they are targeting a manufacturer or general contractor, the salespeople need to know how the target is performing, the target's past and future contracts, market share, lost bids, and so on. We deliver some of that information to them.
The reality is that our field sales force does not spend much time at desks researching and absorbing information, because much of their time is out in the field. They need real-time interfaces and insights that fit into how and where they do their work. Mobile apps will play a big role in this requirement, as they allow me to integrate data and context with the workflow.
Another key priority is to ensure that all departments have the ability to leverage data from our business systems (CRM, financial, marketing), operational data, and proprietary Dodge data to discover insights and enable smarter decision making. We've done that by rolling out internal BI [business intelligence] tools and allowing individuals to develop their own dashboards. I'm fairly passionate around data-driven organizations, self-service BI, and agile practices, and I cover it in my blog Social, Agile, and Transformation.1
PwC: Are there challenges you are addressing as you advance on this vision?
IS: One challenge is that our legacy systems were not developed with the anticipation of sharing the information broadly across the enterprise. Integrating these sources for both our internal and external customers is ongoing, and we've started by developing APIs [application programming interfaces] to our primary databases and content repositories. The APIs have enabled us to deliver multiple web and mobile products in record time and ensure consistent experiences in using our data.
A growing challenge today is creating mobile apps that balance the need for easy navigation with the continuous growth in data that is highly relevant to the job. Mobile devices offer smaller screen sizes, so the presentation of information should be deeply thought out ahead of time and not left to users to create on their own.
Also, the improving economics of big data is forcing everybody to get ahead of the curve on using large amounts of data as a source of distinctiveness—or risk becoming less competitive. We now are living in a world where if you fall too far behind, you'll have a hard time catching up.
PwC: How have your methods of application design and development changed over time, and how are they evolving?
IS: Agile methods are a core aspect of our development methodology. Everything we do here is based on agile. We've introduced agile principles and methods to our businesspeople, for example, and they think about their business needs and how to prioritize requirements using agile. When we develop the user stories, we use them to surface workflows, describe different user personas, and establish acceptance criteria.
We have also followed many technology best practices employed more commonly by software and SaaS [software-as-a-service] businesses. We've developed multiple products and applications efficiently by developing APIs. In our largest products, we automate QA regression tests to ensure that we can continue to add features and maintain testing durations. We analyze product usage to help improve products and prioritize enhancements.
PwC: Can you give us an example of an app that supports users in their work?
IS: Sure. Dodge BidPro is our product for smaller contractors. It provides targeted leads to contractors. This product is an in-the-office as well as an on-the-go solution for finding, qualifying, estimating, and bidding on projects. Smaller contractors are unique and have particular needs. They tend to work on certain types of structures and in certain regions of the country. They also tend to work on fewer projects simultaneously. These are people who will be at their desk for a very small portion of their day.
On the other end, our Dodge BI products can be leveraged by the strategic, planning, and business development people at larger GCs and building product manufacturers. So if they are exploring new market opportunities, these dashboard tools provide insights on sizing markets; for example, knowing regionally where hospitals are being planned. They can then use the BuildShare to target owners developing hospitals and develop relationships with them.
So our challenge was how to get the right mix of information to the users across multiple channels—such as mobile, web, e-mail, APIs, and printouts—so as to optimize the amount of time they can spend collaborating, bidding, and finding their future work. We studied their contexts and defined a simple interactive experience that can be carried out in short bursts of time.
We provide features that map to the manner in which they do their work. For example, it allows them to save searches; track projects; get leads based on location, trade, or project specialty profile; qualify projects; get alerts on changes; receive information on who is bidding; and so on.
PwC: Are they also collaborating with others?
IS: Indeed. BidPro allows contractors to track, share, and collaborate on bids with other subcontractors. Timeliness of information is very important. If you're a GC and there's a deadline to respond to a bid, a day matters a lot as the GC must reach out to subs [subcontractors] and get that process started. If you're a sub, the GC will alert you about a project and give you a deadline. The app enables the sharing of targeted information, simplifies navigation, and tunes the overall user experience to the constraints of less time and less screen space even while processing more and more information.
PwC: How is this different from what you had before?
IS: Our legacy products presented one experience to all user types, the big and the small contractors. That worked for us, because we developed one product and we sold one product. But it was problematic for users. In the legacy product, the GC had to use search interfaces that were big and complicated. It was derivative of a world where the largest contractors were using many fields [search categories] to find specific projects from a long list. This complexity was a bad fit for the smaller contractors, who generally track only a few projects at a time.
The [app] products today are personalized to the user role. BidPro has a very simple user interface for the smaller contractors. The Dodge Global Network is a richer interface for the larger GCs and allows them to do a lot more configuration and share information with multiple users. Our Dodge BI products are designed to provide strategic information leveraging multiple years of historic data; market forecasts that we develop; relationships among owners, contractors, and architects that we expose; and detailed product information that we extract from building plans and specifications.
PwC: How do you personalize for the user when the data sources are common?
IS: If we could build the perfect blue-sky architecture, there would be a complete decoupling among the workflows, the data services, and the user interfaces. Then I would have the freedom to source data as needed from any internal or external source. This is in essence what we are trying to do.
We have an API strategy that we've successfully used to build internal products. We've designed the APIs so that customers can tap into or buy an API—buy our data as a service through the APIs. They will have the flexibility to integrate our data and intelligence with any app able to access our APIs. That's a different service model for us and a different integration model for our customers.

Tim Hamilton x Seth Price
I paid a visit to Tim Hamilton's studio, where his collaboration line with conceptual artist Seth Price was on display. These were the pieces he recently showed at dOCUMENTA (13), an art fair that happens every five years in Kassel, Germany. The designer's atelier was awash in white, and what a pleasure it was to finger the pieces and try them on myself.
The collaborative duo were inspired by the societal themes of finance and communication, as evidenced in the stark white garments lined in fabrics that resembled envelope liners, printed with spoofs of famous financial logos. Aviation was also a significant inspiration for the two. Seth Price makes use of the bomber jacket in his famous contorted, vacuum-sealed, metallic spray-painted wall sculptures, and Tim Hamilton does an update of the iconic bomber nearly every season.
See photos of the Tim Hamilton x Seth Price collection shown at dOCUMENTA, shot by Leon Reindl and styled by Will Graper here and here. See a video of the presentation here, and the collection on exhibit at dOCUMENTA here.

I am sincerely hoping this letter can be printed in your newspaper to honor a local business. Our family lost a loved one (my mother-in-law Fannie Johnson) last Thursday. My husband and I and my sister-in-law live in Seattle and traveled to Price, Utah to meet up with my brother-in-law to begin the very difficult task of preparing a funeral for their last surviving parent. I've lost a parent and know the type of service you usually receive when going through making funeral arrangements. I believe funeral directors go through the motions and are helpful in completing what needs to be done but lack personal involvement. A relative of ours suggested Fausett Mortuary in Price and I was absolutely amazed when our family gathered together and met with Steve Furner, the funeral director on Friday morning.
He started out by asking simple questions about our mother and he just sat and listened intently to our ramblings about her, our favorite stories, our aging memories on names of relatives, etc. He didn't hurry us along, it seemed we spent hours just letting us reminisce our times with her.
He was truly interested in all we had to say. In all our years of others serving us, we have never received such personal, compassionate, and loving assistance in all that we needed to accomplish. We made many last minute changes and nothing seemed too much for Steve Furner and Michael Furner whom both helped us tremendously through a very trying time.
They went beyond the call of duty and that service will never be forgotten by the Johnson family.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Emery County Deputy County Attorney Brent Langston explained a case that is bound for trial on July 10-13 in Emery County. The case against Daniel Roberts, DOB 10-2-79 began when the Internet Child Abuse task force for the state of Utah notified Emery County's county attorney's office that suspected child pornography had been traced back to Emery County. This action took place in late 2009.
Investigators developed information from their monitoring of websites that alerted them to the suspected child pornography in Emery County. Enough evidence was compiled and a search warrant was issued. A physical address was determined from the IP address connected with the computer. The internet site in question was a sharing network that was used sometimes to share suspected child pornography.
The search warrant was executed but the defendant was not home at the time.
The defendant was located in the Wasatch Front area where a laptop computer was seized for evidence. The computer was put through the process of retrieving any old files and checking everything that was on the computer for evidence of child pornography. Suspected child pornography was found on the laptop and the case was forwarded to Emery County for prosecution. Langston explained a video on the computer contained suspected child pornography. Under state statute every separate victim or sex act is considered a separate count. The defendant was charged with 30 counts of sex exploitation of a minor-a second degree felony. Langston said the video involved pre-pubescent girls. He didn't know the ages of the girls. The video was one possibly produced commercially and sent over the internet. There were also still photos.
The defendant has pled not guilty and the case has been in the courts for the past two years.
Langston said defense attorney Sean Hullinger has filed numerous motions and a motion to suppress which was denied. The latest motion was regarding the request to take the suspected child pornography and have it analyzed by their expert. But, it is the state's position that every time the video is replayed or viewed unnecessarily constitutes another violation against the victims. The defense has also filed a motion to dismiss claiming the statute underwhich the defendent is charged is unconstitutional.
The video is considered contraband. Langston believes out of respect for the victims the video should not be allowed out of custody. Judge Douglas Thomas has taken the latest motion under advisement and will announce his intent to allow or deny the motion at a telephone conference with all the parties involved on April 18 at 8:15 a.m.
Langston said internet crimes are a specialized area of law and the attorney general's office has sent Paul G. Amann who works with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to offer assistance in the case. Langston said, "I am grateful for his help. The trial date has been set. There have been many delays but I believe it's time this case was resolved. The investigation took place in 2009 and the charges were filed on May 18, 2010. It's been almost two years, it's unusual a case of this nature has taken so long to resolve. The legislature made it a crime to possess child pornography. This was to act as a deterrent and help eliminate the market for material of this type."
The case was before Judge Thomas most recently on March 20. It was a hearing on motions/pretrial notice. Attorney Hullinger advised the court that their expert investigator (Mr. Lee) has been trying to reach the IRCFL to be able to do the discovery, but he has not been able to get any response from them. Lee sent a motion to withdraw to Hullinger on March 20.
Attorney Amann stated that a protective order must be in place before Lee could go to IRCFL. He says he has drafted one and sent it to Hullinger. Hullinger advised the defense may have to hire a new expert investigator and they are asking for three-four weeks to hire a new one. It was stipulated that they would have their new investigator hired by April 9. The IRCFL examination is to be completed by May 2. Jury trial is set in this matter for July 10-13. The cut-off for motions is June 1. A hearing is set for motions on June 20 at 1:30 p.m. Both parties presented arguments on the defendant's motion for clarification. The court rules that they used SHA1 to stream images to law enforcement. Both counsel presented arguments on the defendant's motion to dismiss. The court takes this matter under advisement and will announce the ruling on a telephone conference set for April 18 at 8:15 a.m. The state requested a warrant of arrest for the defendant because of his non-appearance. The court authorized a bench warrant set in the amount of $100,000. The warrant is not to issue unless the defendant doesn't appear on June 20.
If the case continues forward and goes to trial the video would have to be presented as evidence by the state.
The IRCFL is the internet related crimes forensic lab.

Frontotemporal Disorders: Information for Patients, Families, and Caregivers
Types of Frontotemporal Disorders
Frontotemporal disorders can be grouped into three types, defined by the earliest symptoms physicians identify when they examine patients.
- Progressive behavior/personality decline—characterized by changes in personality, behavior, emotions, and judgment (called behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia).
- Progressive language decline—marked by early changes in language ability, including speaking, understanding, reading, and writing (called primary progressive aphasia).
- Progressive motor decline—characterized by various difficulties with physical movement, including the use of one or more limbs, shaking, difficulty walking, frequent falls, and poor coordination (called corticobasal syndrome, supranuclear palsy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
In the early stages it can be hard to know which of these disorders a person has because symptoms and the order in which they appear can vary widely from one person to the next. Also, the same symptoms can appear in different disorders. For example, language problems are most typical of primary progressive aphasia but can also appear later in the course of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. The table below summarizes the three types of frontotemporal disorders and lists the various terms that could be used when clinicians diagnose these disorders.
Trouble with words
Alicia's first symptom was trouble talking. She spoke more slowly and thought she sounded stilted. She could understand people well enough, but finding the right words when she was talking became harder and harder. Also, Alicia, 49, could not write words like "and" and "it" but could write words like "alligator." Her doctor recommended a neurological exam, which helped diagnose agrammatic PPA.
|Diagnostic Terms
|Main Early Symptoms
|Progressive Behavior/Personality Decline
|Progressive Language Decline
|Progressive Motor Decline
Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
The most common frontotemporal disorder, behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), involves changes in personality, behavior, and judgment. People with this dementia can act strangely around other people, resulting in embarrassing social situations. Often, they don't know or care that their behavior is unusual and don't show any consideration for the feelings of others. Over time, language and/or movement problems may occur, and the person needs more care and supervision.
In the past, bvFTD was called Pick's disease, named after Arnold Pick, the German scientist who first described it in 1892. The term Pick's disease is now used to describe abnormal collections in the brain of the protein tau, called "Pick bodies." Some patients with bvFTD have Pick bodies in the brain, and some do not.
Primary Progressive Aphasia
|Three types of frontotemporal disorders—behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, and movement disorders—can affect middle-aged and older adults.
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) involves changes in the ability to communicate—to use language to speak, read, write, and understand what others are saying. Problems with memory, reasoning, and judgment are not apparent at first but can develop over time. In addition, some people with PPA may experience significant behavioral changes, similar to those seen in bvFTD, as the disease progresses.
There are three types of PPA, categorized by the kind of language problems seen at first. Researchers do not fully understand the biological basis of the different types of PPA. But they hope one day to link specific language problems with the abnormalities in the brain that cause them.
"What do you mean by salt?"
Jane, 62, a university professor, began having trouble remembering the names of common objects while she lectured. She also had a hard time following conversations, especially when more than one person was involved. Her family and co-workers were unaware of Jane's difficulties—until she had a hard time recognizing longtime colleagues. One night at the dinner table, when Jane's husband asked her to pass the salt, she said, "Salt? What do you mean by salt?" He took her to a neurologist, who diagnosed semantic PPA. As her illness progressed, Jane developed behavioral symptoms and had to retire early.
In semantic PPA, also called semantic dementia, a person slowly loses the ability to understand single words and sometimes to recognize the faces of familiar people and common objects.
In agrammatic PPA, also called progressive nonfluent aphasia, a person has more and more trouble producing speech. Eventually, the person may no longer be able to speak at all. He or she may eventually develop movement symptoms similar to those seen in corticobasal syndrome.
In logopenic PPA, a person has trouble finding the right words during conversation but can understand words and sentences. The person does not have problems with grammar.
Movement Disorders
Two rare neurological disorders associated with FTLD, corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), occur when the parts of the brain that control movement are affected. The disorders may affect thinking and language abilities, too.
CBS can be caused by corticobasal degeneration—gradual atrophy and loss of nerve cells in specific parts of the brain. This degeneration causes progressive loss of the ability to control movement, typically beginning around age 60. The most prominent symptom may be the inability to use the hands or arms to perform a movement despite normal strength (called apraxia). Symptoms may appear first on one side of the body, but eventually both sides are affected. Occasionally, a person with CBS first has language problems or trouble orienting objects in space and later develops movement symptoms.
Confusing symptoms
Carol had a tingling sensation and numbness in her upper right arm. Then her arm became stiff. She had to change from cursive handwriting to printing. Carol, 61, told her doctor that she had trouble getting her thoughts out and described her speech as "stumbling." She had increasing trouble talking but could still understand others. Eventually, she was diagnosed with CBS.
PSP causes problems with balance and walking. People with the disorder typically move slowly, experience unexplained falls, lose facial expression, and have body stiffness, especially in the neck and upper body—symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. A hallmark sign of PSP is trouble with eye movements, particularly looking down. These symptoms may give the face a fixed stare. Behavior problems can also develop.
Other movement-related frontotemporal disorders include frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism and frontotemporal dementia with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS).
Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism can be an inherited disease caused by a genetic tau mutation. Symptoms include movement problems similar to those of Parkinson's disease, such as slowed movement, stiffness, and balance problems, and changes in behavior or language.
FTD-ALS is a combination of bvFTD and ALS, commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease. Symptoms include the behavioral and/or language changes seen in bvFTD as well as the progressive muscle weakness seen in ALS. Symptoms of either disease may appear first, with other symptoms developing over time. Mutations in certain genes have been found in some patients with FTD-ALS.
Trouble with walking
For a year and a half, John had trouble walking and fell several times. He also had trouble concentrating. He couldn't read because the words merged together on the page. John, 73, also seemed less interested in social activities and projects around the house. His wife noticed that he was more irritable than usual and sometimes said uncharacteristically inappropriate things. John's primary care doctor did several tests, then referred him to a neurologist, who noted abnormalities in his eye movements and diagnosed PSP.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Charged With 'Aggravated Pimping'
It's hard out here for a Dominique Strauss-Kahn. First he was accused of rape, then he was questioned about a prostitution ring, and now he's being charged for his involvement. Now, "aggravated pimping" is a hilarious term, but what does it mean legally? Allow CNN to explain.
The charge alleges involvement in the habitual operation of a prostitution racket. Specifically, "aggravated' means on a regular and involved basis, and "pimping" means actually facilitating a prostitution operation, not just being a customer.
Prostitution isn't actually illegal in France, but making money off of someone else's prostitution is. Last December, DSK's lawyer Henri Leclerc admitted that his client attended sex parties, but he claimed that he was not aware the women there were prostitutes. If the latest charges against Strauss-Kahn are true, he was more than a mere attendee.
DSK has been released on 100,000-euro bail. He is not permitted to talk to the media, and will likely not be attending any sex parties while this investigation continues.

These die sets feature a Full Length Sizer die that uses precision-machined neck bushings (sold separately) to size the case neck just enough provide the exact amount of bullet tension without overworking the brass. To determine the proper neck bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003" to allow for a small amount of brass spring back. The Gold Medal Seater Die features a micrometer adjustment knob so that bullet depth can be precisely set and reset. The micrometer is connected to a free floating and self centering bullet seating system and has a convenient bullet loading window for easy loading. Shellholder sold separately.
Technical Information
Material: Polished and Heat Treated Steel
Die Types Included:
Full Length Sizer Die (with expander-decapping unit)
Seater Die (with bullet seater plug)
Plastic Storage Case
Gold Medal Match sizing dies use a separate neck bushing
Neck bushing is not included
To determine bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge, subtract .002" to .003" -- this allows approximately .001" of brass spring back for correct neck tension. Another method is to measure the neck wall thickness of a case, multiply by two, add the diameter of the bullet and subtract .001" -- RCBS suggests purchasing neck bushings one to two sizes above and below the target diameter.
Gold Medal seating dies have a micormeter adjustable, free floating and self-centering bullet seating system with a bullet loading window.
Gold Medal seating dies may be used on progressive presses, except PPC calibers, 221 Remington Fireball, 22 Hornet.

Mr. Popper's Penguins
Mr. Popper painted and papered houses in the pretty little city of Stillwater. To look at him with his vacant expression and paint-spattered clothes and hair, one would never imagine that he would one day be the most famous person in Stillwater.
Once the house-painting season is over, Mr. Popper settles in for the winter to read his travel books. He dreams of going to Antarctica one day; in fact, he never tires of reading about the South Pole. But one day the South Pole comes to him, in the form of a penguin in a package sent from the Antarctic explorer Admiral Drake. The penguin, dubbed Captain Cook after the "gook" sound he makes, lives with the Popper family, puts a strain on their modest means, and creates quite a stir in little Stillwater. Mr. Popper and his penguin are photographed together during a stroll around town, and this sparks the interest of the national press.
Soon, Captain Cook has a companion. A penguin named Greta arrives by mail, and to keep them happy, Mr. Popper has a large freezing plant installed in his cellar, where Greta begins laying eggs, and two penguins turn into eight. What will Popper do with all these penguins? Well, teach them to perform, of course! And before long, they're a traveling act: the Popper Performing Penguins.
Mr. Popper's Penguins was first published in 1938. Author Richard Atwater, a newspaper columnist and one-time classics instructor, began writing the novel until serious illness forced him to stop. His wife, Florence, finished the story. Together they have created a whimsical tale that has a serious, conservationist ending, as Mr. Popper realizes the penguins must be returned to their natural habitat. Award-winning illustrator Robert Lawson provides the elegant, pen-and-ink illustrations.
A classic of American humor, the adventures of a house painter and his brood of high-stepping penguins have delighted children for generations.
