text: First lady Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), the U.S. president from 1933 to 1945, was a leader in her own right and involved in numerous humanitarian causes throughout her life. The niece of President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), Eleanor was born into a wealthy New York family. She married Franklin Roosevelt, her fifth cousin once removed, in 1905. By the 1920s, Roosevelt, who raised five children, was involved in Democratic Party politics and numerous social reform organizations. In the White House, she was one of the most active first ladies in history and worked for political, racial and social justice. After President Roosevelt's death, Eleanor was a delegate to the United Nations and continued to serve as an advocate for a wide range of human rights issues. She remained active in Democratic causes and was a prolific writer until her death at age 78.

Keith Urban, Vince Gill Host All for the Hall Concert for Sold Out Crowd
Last week (April 10), Keith Urban hosted the annual All for the Hall fundraiser, which benefits the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. An all-star lineup made up of Hall of Fame members, contemporary country stars and newcomers to the scene joined the Opry's newest member to put on an unforgettable show for a sold-out, rowdy crowd.
This year, Urban and Vince Gill combined forces to choose the show's theme. "We wanted to celebrate all the great bands country music has had over the last thirty, forty years," said Gill, who is president of the museum's Board of Officers and Trustees.
The all-star lineup, including contemporary stars like Thompson Square, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, the Band Perry and more, payed homage to some of country music's fathers. Performers tipped their hats to names like Pure Prairie League and Buck Owens.
The roster extended to many generations and included bands with deeper roots. Nineties hitmakers Diamond Rio performed 'Meet Me in the Middle,' and hall-of-famers Alabama performed a few hits as well.
Perhaps the best part of the evening was when unexpected walk-ons Merle Haggard and Don Williams stepped onto the stage to a roaring welcome.
The show closed with the entire lineup joining Gill, Haggard and Urban onstage to perform an energetic version of the Beatles' 'I Saw Her Standing There.' By night's end, the long list of artists had honored the genre's past while proving that the future is in talented hands.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 23 October 2012
Commission proposes green light for enhanced cooperation on financial transactions tax
The 11 Member States that wish to apply an EU financial transaction tax (FTT) through enhanced cooperation should be allowed to do so, because all the legal conditions for such a move are met. This is the conclusion of the proposal for a Council Decision adopted by the Commission today. Moreover, enhanced cooperation on the FTT would not only bring "immediate, tangible advantages" for those countries that participate, but would also contribute to a better functioning Single Market for the Union as a whole, the proposal states.
President Barroso said: "I am delighted to see that 11 member states have indicated their willingness to participate in a common FTT along the lines of the Commission's original proposal. This tax can raise billions of euros of much-needed revenue for member states in these difficult times. This is about fairness: we need to ensure the costs of the crisis are shared by the financial sector instead of shouldered by ordinary citizens."
Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, said: "There are EU wide benefits to a common FTT, even if it is not applied EU wide. It will create a stronger, more cohesive Single Market and contribute to a more stable financial sector. Meanwhile, those Member States that have signed up for this tax will have the added bonus of new revenues and fairer tax systems that respond to citizens' demands. I promised an extremely quick response once it was the Commission's turn to act, and that is what we have delivered today. I'd now urge the Parliament and the Council to keep up the pace and quickly give the green light for the willing Member States to move ahead with an EU FTT."
Over the past few weeks, 11 Member States1 have sent official requests to the Commission for enhanced cooperation on an FTT. They all cited the Commission's proposal for an FTT as the basis upon which they wished to proceed (see IP/11/1085). Once the minimum required number of Member States had signed up, the Commission immediately set about analysing these requests to ensure they met the conditions for enhanced cooperation laid down in the Treaties. It did this with full impartiality, looking at the impact on participating and non-participating Member States, as well as on the EU as a whole. This meant checking, for example, that enhanced cooperation in this area would further the objectives and interests of the EU, would not undermine the Single Market, and would respect the rights, competences and obligations of non-participating Member States (see Memo/12/799 for full description of conditions). In addition, any Member State that wishes to join at a later stage may do so, under the same conditions as the Member States that have participated from the beginning. The Commission has concluded, through today's Decision, that all legal conditions are met and that the Member States that want to move ahead with an EU FTT should be allowed to do so.
Today's proposal outlines how a common FTT applied by a core group of Member States would be both timely and beneficial. Firstly, it would reinforce the Single Market, by reducing the complexities and competitive distortions that arise from a patchwork of different national approaches. Businesses across all 27 Member States would benefit from reduced compliance costs and greater legal certainty if a uniform system was applied by a significant portion of the EU market. Secondly, the FTT would ensure a fairer contribution from the financial sector to the public purse. It would create a more level playing field between the financial sector and other sectors in covering the costs of the crisis. Finally, a common FTT would make financial markets more efficient, by steering them away from casino-type trading to more stable activities which support the real economy.
Next Steps
Today's proposal for a Council Decision is an important procedural step in the enhanced cooperation process. It must be adopted by a qualified majority of Member States, and receive the Parliament's consent, in order for the [11] Member States to move forward. Later in the year, the Commission intends to table the substantive proposal on the harmonised FTT, for discussion and adoption by the participating Member States. That proposal will be very much along the lines of the original FTT proposal tabled by the Commission in September 2011, as requested by the Member States in their letters. However, the Commission will carefully examine whether some adjustments are required to reflect the smaller number of Member States that would be applying it.
In September 2011, the Commission tabled a proposal for a common system of financial transactions tax, with the objective of improving the functioning of the internal market in this area. In addition, it was estimated that the harmonised tax would deliver €57 billion in revenues each year, and thereby ensure a fair contribution from the financial sector to public finances, contribute to more responsible trading and enable a coherent approach to taxing this sector in the Single Market.
Following intense discussions on this file, there was consensus at the ECOFIN meetings in June and July 2012 that unanimity would not be reached within a reasonable period. At that time already, a strong, core group of Member States expressed an interest in proceeding with a common system of FTT through enhanced cooperation.
On 28 September 2012, exactly one year after the initial Commission proposal had been tabled, France and Germany sent a letter to Commissioner Šemeta, officially requesting enhanced cooperation to be authorised, on the basis of the Commission's proposal. This was followed by similar letters from Austria, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. A minimum of 9 Member States are needed for enhanced cooperation to be allowed under the Treaties. This minimum has been reached.

After the Tsarnaevs' carjacking victim fled from his SUV at the Shell station, he told officers about his car's tracking system. The police located the vehicle in Watertown and spotted the Mercedes on Dexter Avenue. Accompanying the SUV was a Honda Civic, driven by Dzhokhar. The two cars pulled over on Laurel Street, where a gunfight erupted.
The investigation concludes that it is highly likely MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard H. Donohue Jr. was shot and nearly killed by a fellow police officer firing at the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fleeing in the Mercedes.
In a standoff with police, the suspects used a handgun and explosive devices, three of which exploded, including a pressure cooker bomb similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings. Nineteen police officers from six departments fired 195 rounds at the Tsarnaevs, who fired 56 rounds at police.
Watertown Sargeant Jeffrey Pugliese tackled Tamerlan after the officer ran out of bullets and Tamerlan's' gun stopped firing and he threw it at the officer. Other officers assisted Pugliese as he struggled with Tamerlan.
Dzhokhar turned the Mercedes around and drove at the officers who jumped out of the way. Dzhokhar ran over his brother in the stolen SUV abd dragged him 25 to 30 feet.

The SUV hit a cruiser and continued down laurel Street acrosss Dexter Avenue. As it crossed the intersection, officers on all sides of Laurel and Dexter streets continued to fire at it. At this time Officer Richard Donohue was hit by a bullet in his right leg near his hip.
As the SUV exited the intersection officers chased it on foot and continued to shoot at the vehicle.

You never get perfect foreign fruit in your town. The only way to sell perfect fruit at foreign prices is to get yours and sell it in a town with a different starter fruit, or to go elsewhere and bring their perfect fruit back to your town for sale. (If you plant it in your town, it just grows as the normal version.)
I had a perfect peach the first time I played the game, but I didn't know anything about perfect fruit back then so I sold it. Stupid, stupid! I haven't been able to get a perfect fruit since then. Akanbe, what's your friend code? I know you added me, but I haven't been able to add you back yet.
Anybody have access to the Samurai clothing set? I've been trying to get it but only found the head piece so far.
Damn that's a kickass living room! Mine doesn't look even half as good; too many missing pieces.I see you on often at night 9-11pm EST. I wish it would let me send a message in game. The only Samurai clothes piece I have is the helm as well. I've seen the ninja ones offered, but not the samurai.
How do you do that? I saw the tutorial of that when I opened up my gate, but I couldn't figure out how to add people. I opened up the green tab on the bottom left but didn't see anyone show up even though Ashton was online.
So, I tried my hand at designing some clothes yesterday. I wanted to do Narumi from Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090523090047/megamitensei/images/6/60/DSRK-Narumi.jpgI had some trouble with trying to design the lines of his jacket and vest, but I think it came out pretty good for a first try at this. Also, double rainbow!
I just got the game and am having a lot of fun. Chances are everyone has all the fruit but if anyone is missing oranges feel free to add me. I was lucky enough to plant my perfect orange so if anyone else started off with oranges but is missing perfect ones feel free to rob me blind and plant them in your own town. FC 2836-1129-5566
Enjoy the game. It's quite fun. Make sure to hit up your fake rocks and bell rocks daily for easy cash! If I knew about that earlier, I wouldn't have had to sell fossils in the beginning. Between fake rock and bell rocks, you have anywhere from 18k-20k per day at your disposal. Make sure to take advantage of it!

Just because you're a Type A, hyperproductive individual doesn't mean you don't procrastinate.
In fact, there's a new "form of procrastination" that affects "chronic achievers" called "priority dilution," and if you're a sufferer, the results might be even worse than standard procrastination because this kind isn't "self evident," writes Rory Vaden at OPEN Forum.
At least the standard procrastinators know what they're doing, but overachieving people don't always know that they're putting things off because they usually accomplish so much throughout the day.
Vaden writes:
"While priority dilution has nothing to do with laziness, apathy or being disengaged (like traditional procrastination) it nets the same result: a delay of the day's most important activities because your attention shifts to less important, but perhaps seemingly more urgent, tasks. You are trading your to-do list for emergencies."
He says that the main challenge these sufferers have is feeling guilty for not doing everything they meant to get done that day. Thus, they try harder the next day, but the most effective thing to do would be to identify things on your to-do list that "drive business."
So how do you know if you suffer from priority dilution? If you answer "no" to any of the following questions, you might very well be "diluting your focus from your other priorities":
1. Was this activity on my primary to-do list when I arrived at work today?
2. Is this activity one of the key drivers of achieving success in my position?
3. Does this activity require my unique thought process?
Furthermore, if you answer "yes" to the following questions, you should reprioritize your tasks:
1. Will this issue likely resolve itself without my intervention if I allow some time?
2. Is there another person on our team who is mostly capable of handling this?
3. Can the resolution of this issue wait until some point in the future without substantial repercussion?

The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having a relationship with him when he was a minor only to recant the next day has been identified as a wannabe model-actor who, it turns out, has a rap sheet.
Per The Smoking Gun, 24-year-old Sheldon Stephens is the anonymous individual behind the ugly abuse smear lobbed against Clash on Monday before he pulled an about-face and said the two had an "adult consensual relationship."
The website was able to identify him yesterday and confirm his role in the matter, it said, thanks to two sources: a family member and a friend.
So who is this guy?
Stephens lives in Harrisburg, Pa., and describes himself on his Twitter account as an "Entrepreneur, Student, Model, Actor."
According to court records obtained by TSG, Stephens also has a criminal record, having been arrested numerous times since 2009, including once for passing a bad check and again for reckless driving.
The most serious charge came in September 2009 for allegedly robbing his former boss, Beverly Hills music manager Darian Pollard, of $250,000 worth of jewelry at knife point before taking a flight from L.A. to Pennsylvania.
While no knife was found in his luggage when police caught up with him, Stephens was taken into custody on two felony counts of receiving stolen property. The charges in Harrisburg, however, were subsequently dismissed two weeks later, and no charges were filed against him in Beverly Hills.
A friend of Stephens called the incident a simple "misunderstanding." That friend also noted that Sheldon "attracts these high-powered men," is a "God-fearing guy" and "not just a pretty boy."
Stephens' resume also describes him as being a Hollywood stylist, PR rep and intern for several entertainment and production agencies, among them Pollard's firm, DP Music Management.
In the wake of his accuser recanting, Clash, who admits the two did have a relationship, released a statement saying he is "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest."
The puppetmaster will also be taking additional time off from Sesame Street so he can put the charges behind him, according to the New York Post, after taking an initial leave of absence to deal with the allegations. No word on whether he plans to file a defamation suit.

Resort Hot Spots: Hakuba, Nagano
Living under the "Roof of Japan"
Work ★★
Play ★★★★★
Live ★★★★
With more than a dozen quality ski resorts up and down the valley, Hakuba has long been one of Japan's top ski resort areas. However, there has especially been a buzz in Hakuba over the past few years with the number of foreign-owned pensions and lodges growing steadily as well as an increase in international visitors, especially in winter. However, this is a true year-round resort area. There is excellent hiking, trekking, mountain biking, canyoning, hot springs, golf and other outdoor activities for people with active hobbies.
Most of the employment in the area revolves around the hotel and hospitality industry, although real estate-related companies such as builders, agents and property management companies have been on the rise. The number, and variety, of cafés and restaurants has also grown recently. Since the Hakuba area includes a number of villages spread out up and down the valley, usually near the base of ski resorts, there is a variety of real estate available depending on the buyer's needs and budget.
Access: It's about a four-hour drive from Tokyo to Hakuba via the Chuo or Kanetsu expressways and about the same distance from Nagoya. There are frequent bullet trains from Tokyo Station to Nagano Station (approx. 80 minutes) and from there buses run regularly to Hakuba. You can also take the limited express and change in Matsumoto to the local train to Hakuba. Regular buses also run from Shinjuku Station directly to Hakuba (approx. 3.5 hours).

If you're part of a group of golf buddies that makes an annual journey, then you're familiar with the anticipation Pat McElwee and Jim Hill are feeling this week.
If you're part of a group of golf buddies that makes an annual journey, then you're familiar with the anticipation Pat McElwee and Jim Hill are feeling this week.
McElwee and Hill are the ringleaders of a group of 48 players that will start teeing it up at 7:45 Friday morning and play 36 holes in the annual Hog Days Golf Tournament at Baker Park.
Hill, a native of Neponset, is the group director, but McElwee ranks as the group historian.
The 2013 tourney will mark McElwee's 60th trip to Baker Park for the event. As a youngster in Peoria, he started making the trek to Kewanee with a group and worked as a caddy.
"I caddied a double (36 holes) and made five or six bucks in a day," said McElwee.
A few years later McElwee started playing in the tourney and hasn't stopped. The only time he remembers missing the tourney was when his mother passed away.
McElwee and Hill, now both residents of Pekin, crossed paths about 20 years ago when their sons played youth hockey. The hockey dads became golf buddies, and the duo has been part of a Hog Days golf group since 1995.
"The tournament was always reasonably priced and you could get six beers for $4," said Hill.
Hill said the group started with four to eight players, and has since blossomed into this year's crew of 12 foursomes.
Hill said 110 different people have been part of the group since 1995, ranging from the CEO of the largest insurance company in Pekin to a heart surgeon from St. Louis.
"When they come they have a good time. We play in the tournament and have a little side game," said Hill.
And the good times have been plentiful. Hill recalled just three years ago when McElwee made consecutive birdies on the treacherous par threes 14 and 15.
"I told them I'm going in. If I can do that, that's all I need," said McElwee.
"Of course we told people that he hit driver," said Hill.
The group's age ranges from 24 to McElwee at 72, and nearly half the players are single-digit handicaps.
"If you like golf, it's a wonderful day and a wonderful place to come," said Hill. "And everyone is nice to us."
"Everybody enjoys the golf course," said McElwee. "They accommodate us very well."
Friday begins with breakfast at the Jubilee Cafe in Kickapoo, and concludes with the awarding of the Pat McElwee plaque — which goes to the player with the lowest 36-hole total in the tourney.
"It's just a mixture of a whole bunch of guys and all the jabs that go with it," said Hill. "Every time you come to Kewanee, there's something to talk about for another year."
"It's a wonderful day that everybody looks forward to," concluded McElwee.

Roofing nails maliciously scattered in the driveways of homes and businesses in the lower end of the county are causing a lot of flat tires and aggravation. A $500 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.

The late Dr. Frank K. Stevens' former home on Lincoln Way East, McConnellsburg, opposite Johnnie's Diner, one of the town's large Victorian-type houses, is being torn down by the new owner of the property. It was built in 1900 in the decorative style of the day, and Dr. and Mrs. Stevens raised seven children in the spacious home. The property was sold some years ago to local businessman Ronald Berkstresser, who recently sold it to Ray Koontz. The house and other buildings on the property are being razed to make the site more attractive for some enterprising business that may wish to locate there.

40 Years Ago
From the Files Of June 7, 1973
Carl Isaacs, 19, one of the four Baltimore men involved in the abduction and murder of Richard
Wayne Miller, 19, McConnellsburg, was brought in secret from a Georgia prison to McConnellsburg at midnight on Saturday and Sunday led police to the place where the local youth's body was lying. The finding of the body ended three weeks and three days of agonizing waiting by the boy's parents and brought to a halt many fruitless and frustrating searches by hundreds of sympathetic individuals and local officials made since his disappearance. The young victim's body was found in Allegany County, Md., approximately 10 miles east of Cumberland and eight miles south of Flintstone on Sunday. Isaacs was driven here from Georgia on Saturday. He was lodged in Fulton County Jail at a little after midnight, in the same cell occupied last week by his half-brother, who had been of no help in locating Miller.
June is designated as Dairy Month to alert all consumers to the fact that milk is one of the most valuable foods.

Feb. 27, 1955 – May 21, 2013
On Tuesday, May 21, 2013, Jeanne Marie McCord went home to be with her Lord and be reunited with her loving parents, Bill and Agnes McCord.
Jeanne died with her family by her side. She courageously fought multiple medical conditions for many years.
Jeanne was born Feb. 27, 1955, in Waukesha, where she lived most of her life until the last two years. She then moved to be with her daughter Selena, who was her tireless, devoted and loving caregiver for many years.
Jeanne is survived by her children, Selena, Damion, Ryan and Kreg, and her grandchildren, Nevaeh, Kaya, Gianna, Antony, Adrianna, and Brady. She is further survived by her sisters, Susan McCord and Kathleen (Michael) Peters, also special friends Brad Howitt and Dennis Tio.
Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Agnes McCord, who welcomed her with open arms.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family would be appreciated.

Expenses for the show and files needed for ad campaign!
1. money of course
2. files for the advertising campaign in brochures/billboards and the printed catalog.
SUPPORT OPPORTUNITY: At this time, we should be OK covering expenses, but some folk really don't have money and we want people to participate according whether or not the work has merit. If sales are good, then the Gallery percentages from the well-deserved popularity among collectors of Paula Chamlee and Michael a. Smith's prints could offset a lot of expense. However, if we do not sell a lot, then there are considerable costs to cover beyond the expected expense of wall length and the framing and matting that we all know about.
I am taking responsibility for making sure that the exhibition happens and is presented in a professional manner as befits our new Gallery. Still it would be nice to be able to pay for a shuttle at $700 a day to bring the droves of folk from Paris Photo LA to our location in the next movie studio exhibition space. Also we have to cover a lot of extra lights and miscellaneous preparator and hauling or mail charges and young folk giving out pamphlets near Photo LA to advertise our exhibition.
So, if anyone feels like anonymously helping out, then you will be appreciated, just send me a PM and commit to any amount from $10 up to $2,000 and you can support the project and cover expenses that deserve to be met. No one is expected to give anything! You already give by simply sharing your creative work and your precious non-repeatable time.
..................but I will not become homeless or have to sell my dining room table! No one should feel obligated. This is a responsibility I have taken on and I am blessed to have a chance of building on all our creative and supportive efforts in OPF to have a modest but real outlet for our work on the world art market. If we make money, it will go towards Photo LA early in 2016 for OPF members.
Hopefully, this is just the start. Thanks for all your support, just being stalwarts in OPF sharing photographs, ideas and commenting on images. This 10th year of OPF, we have a chance to have a pipeline to sell our work several times a year in exhibitions.
I have a gallerist sending out emails to his many clients, there will be billboards and an ad campaign.
FILES OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS: I assume permission will be given from everyone to have their work in ads or on a billboard for the show. Anyone objects, just let me know.
The catalog will be printed two weeks before the show. So I will get ready a portfolio of images to offer.
So if you want your pictures in such a campaign, send the files by yousendit.com or retransfer.com
They will not be used for anything else. no copies of prints will be made without your instructions in writing. The copyright of your work is very serious to us in OPF and be assured, we will not trespass in the slightest.
Follow us on Twitter at @opfweb
Our purpose is getting to an impressive photograph. So we encourage browsing and then feedback. Consider a link to your galleries annotated, C&C welcomed. Images posted within OPF are assumed to be for Comment & Critique, unless otherwise designated.

TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey is the first state in the nation to take statewide action to address the growing issue of high school steroid use.
In late December, New Jersey's Acting Governor Richard J. Codey signed an executive order that will put into place a program that will randomly test high school teams and individuals qualifying for championship games for steroids beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. The order also calls for the Department of Health and Senior Services to develop and implement a program to randomly test dietary supplement products for sale in New Jersey to detect steroid contamination, and various other orders directing the Department of Education to work with the Department of Health and Senior Services and other agencies to implement a broad range of educational components from the fifth grade level up through high school.
"We've all seen the statistics and read the articles about the impact that steroids are having on kids. This is a growing public health threat; one we can't leave up to individual parents, coaches or schools to handle," said Codey. "Today, we are putting this plan into action and becoming the first state in the nation to address this problem on a statewide level."
The executive order was based on recommendations made by a task force that studied the breadth and scope of the problem in New Jersey. The task force divided itself into five subcommittees to address research, education, testing, health/psychological effects of steroids and nutritional supplements and steroids and college athletics. The task force spoke to national experts on the subject, interviewed high school students, organized a statewide educational summit for coaches and athletic directors and had public hearings to gain additional input.
Other recommendations included in the report may require legislative action to implement, the governor's office said. The administration will continue to examine these recommendations in the coming weeks to determine the best course of action. Visit www.nj.gov/steroids/finalreport for a full copy of the report.
