[Explanatory note: I tracked these injury stats on a monthly basis for most of the 2008/09 season - this is the last of these updates, covering the whole season.]
This is the final update for the 2008/09 regular season looking at which teams were hit hardest by injuries by trying to place a value on the games missed by players due to injury/illness.
The concept again - multiply each game missed by a player by his 2008/09 cap charge, then take the aggregate of these figures for each team and divide by 82. This indicator of value lost to a team by injury/illness is called CHIP (Cap Hit of Injured Players).
The table below shows:
- Total CHIP for each team over the 2008/09 regular season
- Movement in ranking since 28 February
- The player who has contributed most to the team's CHIP figure
- The number of players with a CHIP contribution of over $250,000 (think of it as being equivalent to a $1m player missing 20 games or a $4m player missing five games)
Overcoming Philadelphia's season-long stranglehold ("Hey! That's never a stranglehold - it's just the usual anti-Flyers officiating conspiracy!") on top spot, St. Louis sneak in with a late surge to be crowned The Most Injured Team in the NHL 2008/09.
The continued absences of the Blues' Kariya and Johnson and (eventual) recovery of Philly's Briere proved crucial down the stretch. This, perhaps, makes the Blues' success at fighting their way into a playoff spot even more remarkable.
At the other end, the Rangers' almost freakishly-good fortune in avoiding significant injury absences essentially lasted all year. Not even an injury to Sean Avery due to throttling by opponent/teammate/coach/ex-girlfriend to speak of. Also mildly interesting to note that four of the six teams with the lowest CHIP missed the playoffs.
The second table is the top 30 individual CHIP contributions:
A minor surprise in the race here - Marian Gaborik looked like a lock to win all season, but his tissue paper groin managed to hold up long enough to fit in a brief stretch of games right at the death. Hence, this award also makes it way to the Gateway City by a sliver as Paul Kariya bests both Gaborik and Joe "Snowblower" Sakic.
- Figures include (and are arguably distorted by) some players on long-term IR, such as Mike Rathje. They do exclude a few minor-leaguers who seem to have been on the NHL club's IR
- There's probably a few inaccuracies and inconsistencies in there - I did the best I could with the information out there
- The cap figure doesn't really correlate to the "worth" of a player in some cases, e.g. where rookie bonuses are included this year (Erik Johnson, Zach Bogosian), where players are seeing out an old (underpaid or rookie) contract (Paul Stastny, Henrik Zetterberg) or where players are horrendously overpaid (Scott Gomez, Wade Redden)
- I've stuck a full team-by-team listing of games missed and CHIP numbers by each player on the web HERE - knock yourself out...

Pomegranate-Orange Glazed Chicken Scallopini – I am so excited to participate in The Secret Recipe Club for the first time this month! I think it's such a great idea and a neat way to discover new blogs and friends.
My assigned blog was Dash of East and imagine my surprise when I found out that Melissa and her husband lives in Atlanta just like we do! (Well, we are metro Atlanta, but still.) I have to admit, I didn't venture right into her food posts. I saw that she has a whole section dedicated to photography and since that is something that I'm always working on, I went there first. She has great tips and information. I spent a long, long time looking around that part of her blog. She has adorable dogs, too.
After I read all of the photography posts, I ventured over to the food since you know, that's what I was really there for. 😉 Melissa has mostly vegetarian dishes but also has a great mix of football food, sweets, and breakfast items. I had the hardest time make a choice!! In the end I went with this pomegranate chicken because I knew that Jack would eat it and let's face it, feeding my 16-month-old is really what my day tends to revolve around.
I'd never cooked with pomegranate but it's definitely a flavor that I enjoy (mostly in a martini of some sort). I was concerned that this dish would be overly sweet but it really wasn't at all. It was perfectly seasoned and just had mild fruity undertones. It comes together quickly and would be great on it's own or served with pasta, rice, or cous cous. Now to find a way to use up the rest of the pomegranate juice. 🙂
Pomegranate-Orange Glazed Chicken Scallopini

Serves 2
- 1 tsp. + 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- ½ + ¼ cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
1. In a small sauce pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat and add garlic, stirring frequently until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in ½ cup pomegranate juice, orange juice, brown sugar, basil,and oregano. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat let simmer while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2. Butterfly the chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the all-purpose flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
3. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off excess. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook through, 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness of pieces. Remove chicken from pan and tent with foil to keep warm.
4. Return pan to the head and add remaining ¼ cup pomegranate juice and swirl to combine with butter and oil remaining in the pan. Add mixture to the saucepan with pomegranate-orange mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the saute pan and pour pomegranate-orange glaze over chicken and turn chicken to coat. Garnish with sliced green onion.

In 1799, when Turner was already a member of the Royal Academy, Constable entered its school as a student. Unlike Turner, Constable painted landscape with an eye to verisimilitude. His more prosaic views of nature, following the traditions of such Dutch masters as Ruisdale and Cuyp, were unfashionable. Constable was thirty-nine before he sold a picture, and in his fifties before he was invited to join the Royal Academy.
Constable's career was spent creating poetic expressions of his native Stour Valley. During the summers he would work in the village of East Berghold, where he was born. This region of Suffolk and the Stour Valley came to be known as Constable country. There he made sketches, both painted and drawn. These "notes" would become the basis for the large and ambitious canvases that he would prepare in London for the annual exhibition at the Royal Academy. Constable's sketches of skies and sites such as Dedham Lock and Mill are regarded today as important works that capture the spirit and feeling of the countryside, possible to attain only when the artist is working directly from nature.
One of the earliest Western European artists to study changing light and atmospheric conditions so closely, Constable kept notes and diaries recording weather conditions and times of day. In working out-of-doors, Constable was anticipating the direction that the Impressionists would later take with such conviction. But for him, producing large canvases outside was impractical: his "six-footers", designed to catch the attention of Royal Academy visitors, were painted in his studio, as was common practice until the Impressionists decided to do more than sketch outside.
Constable, who made nature his subject, was dedicated to understanding and developing new ways to describe its mutability. The sky especially engrossed him. "The sky is the source of light in nature and governs everything", he remarked, and his obsession yielded the largest body of sky and cloud studies produced in Western art. He also experimented with different techniques, such as stippling the canvas with white flecks to capture the effect of wet leaves and dew, or incorporating dots of red that would make the green of the vegetation stand out and register more prominently. These attempts, like his outdoor studies, were an important inspiration to the later Impressionists.
The death of his beloved wife, Mary, in 1828 affected Constable profoundly. His work became darker and more brooding, infused directly or indirectly with a sense of mourning. Though he was interested in the real appearance of things, he was not a dispassionate observer. His subjects had, as they did for all Romantic artists, strong personal meanings and ties; his attachment to nature was emotional as well as intellectual. An acquaintance of Wordsworth, Constable shared his belief in the beautiful, evocative aspects of nature and in the value of the humble. He also felt a strong affinity for poetry, occasionally exhibiting his works with lines of noted poems.
Although recognition for his work came slowly in England, Constable gained renown more rapidly in France. His Hay Wain was seen by Gťricault in London at the Royal Academy exhibition of 1821. Gťricault was so impressed with the work that, at his behest, it was bought by a French dealer and exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1824, where it won a gold medal. French artists such as Gťricault and Delacroix admired Constable's freedom of brushwork and the freshness of his subject matter. He was a fundamental inspiration to the French Romantics and also to the French painters of landscape.

During the course of the World War II, my family lost most of their material possessions. We were able to bring only a few items of special value with us to Germany and then later to Poland. As we fled back to Germany my family was stripped of everything. When my grandparents fled Poland they too could bring with them only what was necessary to live on. Most of that was left behind in Eastern Germany as we fled to the Western sector. My family arrived in Stuttgart with only the clothes on our backs. All we had left were memories of our time in our Bessarabian homeland and the life we walked away from in an attempt to live in freedom.
Once the post-war economy in Germany had improved so that I had the resources to travel, I chose to emigrate to Canada in 1955 to begin rebuilding my life. When Helgard and I married in 1962 we started with very little. With "Fleiss" - hard work - we began to build our future. Eventually the pieces started coming into place. But we had no mementos of the life we had enjoyed before the war. How we wished for some physical objects that could represent our heritage.
One day on a trip out into the countryside, we came upon a town that was settled primarily by people from Europe who had come to this place to make their start in the New World. Walking down the street, we found a second-hand store loaded with beautiful old things from bygone days. Helgard and I went in to see if we could find something we liked. Did we ever! The shopkeeper was a lady who was easy to deal with. And why not, as we loaded ourselves down with the treasures in that store! We found napkin rings, plates with glass inserts -- all kinds of table items dating from the late 1800's up to the 1920's. Many items were silver plated, fitting exactly the style of things we were looking for. We also found hand-embroidered linens such as napkins and tablecloths, crocheted spreads and more.
We asked the shop keeper why people would want to dispose of all of these treasures. She replied that people don't have time these days to bother with such things, and don't always know how to care for them. It didn't take us long to select an entire collection of heirlooms! We keep our fancy things in a glass cabinet and continue to use them today much the same as our folks used their special things back in the Old Country. Come festive holidays and special occasions, our dinner table takes center stage as it is set with items fit for royalty. To keep our treasures in good shape, we use modern products and equipment -- such conveniences were not available to our ancestors back in Teplitz, Bessarabia.
My grandmother Pauline (Mueller) Zacher was a master at hosting a dinner party, and so is Helgard my soulmate. Oma Zacher used to say, "Eat with your eyes to fully enjoy your meal." In Teplitz, Bessarabia, my grandparents had more of the finer things of life than many people. My grandmother had fine furniture, dishes, cutlery and linens to work with to host an impressive dinner party. A special piece of equipment that was kept busy on these occasions was the Samovar for making tea. My grandmother also had a Topfkuchen which was a special baking unit that looked like a brass stove-pipe about 12" x 6" that sat atop an ethyl-alcohol burner. I wish I knew the recipe my grandmother used for making the pastry she baked in that Topfkuchen. The Topfkuchen was a quick way to bake Kuchen pastry to be served with tea. After baking the dough in the Topfkuchen, it would be sliced and then dusted with icing sugar.
My grandmother considered the making and serving of tea as adding an elegant touch to her dinners. Oma Zacher had special glasses that were reserved just for serving tea. A cube of raw sugar that looked much like an ice cube was placed into each glass of tea. Guests carefully sipped the tea as it flowed over the sugar cube into the mouth. This had to be done elegantly, Russian-style, which meant there could be no mouth noise as the tea was sipped.
To prepare the various dishes that were so special to us in Bessarabia, the women had no modern appliances of any kind, no electrical power in the house, and no indoor plumbing. The preparation of every-day food items was a challenge. To go beyond and prepare fancy party foods took know-how and a willingness to work.
All laundry was washed using a washboard and home-made soap. For fine white things, Oma would add a bit of blue dye. To stiffen shirt collars and table linens such as napkins and table-cloths, she mixed home made potato starch into the water. The wet laundry was hung outside to dry in the sun, which also helped to bleach the white items. The sun was the only "bleach" we had. When dry, the laundry was taken back inside and the larger items were set aside to be stretched prior to ironing. I often helped Oma stretch these pieces to remove some of the wrinkles and shrinking. She would pull on one end of the item and I would pull on the other end while standing behind a table for balance. Ironing was a fine art that took skill, time and patience. The iron was heated with charcoal -- swinging it from side to side increased the temperature. Learning to iron properly required much practice. Especially difficult to iron were pleated items and the corners of embroidered pieces. The last step was to fold the ironed laundry before storing it away. All of the table linens were made of cotton or linen. If an item was not used for a time, the edges would begin to yellow, and the item had to be re-washed and re-ironed before use. If silver items were not used frequently, they would tarnish and then had to be polished and washed before they could be used.
One day when I was about 8 or 9 years old, I was helping Grossmama with her chores. It was laundry day and she had laundry to hang outside on the clothesline. Grossmama carried the wet laundry out to the clothesline and I carried the clothesline clips in a cloth bag. After we were done, she had a few pieces of laundry left that she wanted to take inside and hang on the rainy-day clothesline up in the attic. These were home-made oval shaped cloth pads - my aunt's private laundry that Grossmama did not want to hang out in public. Being curious I asked, What are these? Grossmama said, These are women's underwear warmers. I asked, Why don't I have any? She said, Boys don't need them - they wear pants. My curiosity was satisfied with that explanation.
Those were the good old days: a time that required hand skills, a time without our modern "time-savers," a time to which we give so little thought! And we say we have "no time!"

I greeted the news of Carlito's release from his World Wrestling Entertainment contract with a shrug. Make no mistake about it, he was a guy who wanted out. So whether his Wellness Policy violation was accidental or intentional, it was no doubt greeted with a leap of joy.
Over the years, I've interviewed countless wrestlers. When they are with the big companies, particularly WWE, a public relations flak usually sets up the interview and listens in if it's a phoner, which is okay, as they rarely interfere. (But don't get me started on those that listen in when you are talking to someone in person and butt in, rare though it may be.)
Since there is someone listening in, they don't always speak their mind as much as you might expect, and almost never as much as a journalist wants. Some come off as total company-men (and women), praising the company line. Their enthusiasm is usually genuine -- they want to keep their job, after all.
Carlito Colon was an exception.
I asked to interview him in September 2009 with WWE coming up to Canada, since his mom is Canadian and his famed father, Carlos Colon, spent so much time honing his skills in Stampede Wrestling and in Montreal.
He'd always been fun to watch, as he burst on the scene with such freshness -- and the apple spitting was great. It wasn't long until he'd made top of the card, one of the main eventers at the 2006 New Year Revolution pay-per-view, in the Elimination Chamber match. He seemed destined for bigger things, and he held the tag team titles with his brother, Primo, and the Intercontinental title.
But then those bigger things didn't happen any more.
We'll never know all the behind-the-scenes things that go on in WWE, the butt-kissing that may or may not go down, the political manoeverings, the feuds and petty jealousies.
Then there's the self-castration that seems to go on sometimes, where a performer sabotages their own career with an ill-advised misstep, usually away from the arena.
In Carlito's case, it was apparently his first Wellness Policy violation, so he's gone, despite that others have gotten more opportunities. "Carlito�s termination was due to his first violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility," reads WWE.com.
The WWE doesn't release details on the actual substance(s) involved with the violation, so we'll likely never know what went down -- at least until Carlito's no-compete clause runs out and he starts talking.
When I interviewed him, Carlito was matter of fact, less than enthusiastic about his push, and seemed to have his mind elsewhere.
"I just do what they tell me," he said more than once, referring to WWE creative.
He had dissed the bookers a few years before in a interview with Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun too. "I'm out of Wrestlemania," he said. "Apparently, they had to make space for Kane vs. Khali and Melina vs. Ashley. How can I be at Wrestlemania? If I politic and kiss ass, I should make it.
"I'm not going to cry or be bitter, there's always next year ... and I don't want to get fired.
"But they're showing disrespect by not having Ric Flair at Wrestlemania and even more disrespect by not having Carlito there."
To me, he admitted he was a bit of a loner.
"I get along with everybody, I think, pretty much. I try to be professional. I pretty much stick to myself. I get along with everybody. I just prefer to stick to my guns and take care of myself."
Carlito Caribbean Cool wasn't on the Breaking Point pay-per-view.
The shrug could be heard over the phone. "Whatever spot I can get, you know what I mean? I do what I can. If it happens, it happens. If not, there's always the next pay-per-view."
Except now there won't be another pay-per-view for Carlito.
WWE has parted way with a young, vital talent that had skills in the ring and charisma. He had a unique look and wasn't part of their cookie-cutter style that seems to come out of their developmental system.
That's a shame, but I don't weep for Carlito Colon. He'll find his happy place.

Before we start, we first list what hardware requirements you need to successfully install Gentoo on your box. This of course depends on your architecture.
Check the following requirements before you continue with the Gentoo installation:
Still interested in trying out Gentoo? Well, then it is now time to choose the installation medium you want to use. Yes, you have the choice, no, they are not all equal, and yes, the result is always the same: a Gentoo base system.

Now take a look at the available installation media.
All LiveCDs allow you to boot, set up networking, initialize your partitions and start installing Gentoo from the Internet. However, some LiveCDs also contain all necessary source code so you are able to install Gentoo without a working network configuration.

Here is a common recipe used to prepare rice congee with other healthy ingredients to promote a normal and efficient delivery. It can also help to encourage labor that is prolonged or delayed.
Sweet Potato Congee (Yu Tou Zhou)
Sweet Potato (You Tou) – 250g
Polished Rice* (Da Mi) – 50g (Please note: polished rice is gluten-free!)
Salt (Yan) – small amount, according to preference
Remove skin of sweet potato, wash rice, and combine these two ingredients using a ratio of 6 parts of water with 1 part rice (e.g. 600g water: 100g rice, change amounts but keep ratio if you desire more or less). Once rice has been cooked into porridge, add a touch of salt or tamari/soy sauce for flavor.
Note: Congee can also be prepared in a crock pot or slow cooker. Simply add all prepared ingredients into the pot, put on low setting, and allow it to simmer overnight for approximately 6-8 hours. In the morning, presto! Your breakfast is ready and waiting to be served with any additional seasoning (e.g. a pinch of soy sauce/salt).

Sad day for democracy and freedom
France has just lived through one of those days which will remain engraved in the national memory. The country has known terrorism before. There were waves of Middle East-related bombings in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. There were the Islamist murders of Mohammed Merah three years ago. But never in half a century has there been a single attack of such cold-blooded ruthlessness. Never has there been a death toll like on the Rue Nicolas-Appert.
One of the saddest days of my life
"I am CHARLIE"
A cartoonist is a photographer who changed his camera for a pencil.
I have added above a quote and a link for those who do not normally follow European news. A.K.
We do not need death to come like this. We do not need more painful sacrifices. We are beyond alters and killing our neighbors for differences in belief or sense of humor.
Yes, it's sad that in the one country in Europe that recognized and promoted the Rights of Man, that the very beneficiaries bite the hands that recognized their essential humanity!
Our condolences to the families of those massacred and the entire French nation.
I am ashamed of this tragedy!
The magazine has poked at the Pope, Rabbis and Jihadists. I don't think there's any evidence that the publication has ever had intent to be bigoted or racist. but if Islam is the truth, then what on earth is the magical Pope doing in Rome, the Buddhists worshipping idols of theBuddha or Nepalese, worshiping a monkey god. Surely something is messed up in some of this thinking!
I'd rather hold the view that religion is best viewed as a scaffolding, nor the actual building. We need to not be animals and behave in a civilized fashion valuing each other. The fundamental Rights of Man, developed in so many religions but forged, annealed and embodied in the French Assembly and it's imposition by the armies of Napoleon is written into the UN charter. As long as religion doesn't interfere with individual rights of freedom of thought and personal choices and expression, then, in all its forms, religion acts as scaffolding, culturally different of course, but all helping maintain a civil society. Right now, we have a claimed right of Jihadists and some states that criticism of religions shall be against the law, worldwide. So this is the divide we face.
Nicolas, when I read about this, this morning. I was horrified. Humanity needs to learn more tolerance and compassion instead of fear tactics and terrorism. So sad!
Unfortunately, those who live beyond the riches of a giant metropolis like Paris, can get starved of resources and become alienated. In the case of even 2cd 3rd generation Muslims from North Africa, they are still considered "foreign". Most are good citizens. Often they are religious but almost never hateful. However, poverty and prejudice makes some youth susceptible to hysterical voices of hate to the West. Sadly more than a few are going to be influenced by sermons carrying hate of the West, spread by Jihadists. Worse, if they actually go to fight in Iraq they become trained to kill.for their cause. They return to Europe as dangers to all the communities!
The policewoman pointlessly executed outside the press offices of Charlie was, AFAIK, a French Muslim!
This is happening, not just in France but in many places around the world. It's made worse by the strident drive for an Islamic Caliphate. Now, ISIS in Iraq has a 2 billion dollar budget. This is no longer a problem for individual communities facing "terrorist acts" by lone wolves. This is a serious and dedicated movement where the disaffected are imbued with a spirit of righteousness expressed in slaughter, self sacrifice and martyrdom.
But I believe that the principles of civilizations greatest rational thinking*, support the Rights of Man. This supposes that each of us has inalienable worth and equality in every avenue of life. These rights now stand opposed to an evil culture that I believe is not representative of 21st Century Islam and the highest Islamic principles.
*Those developed in the books of sages and discussed in Germany, England, France and elsewhere and fought for in the French Revolution then spread by the authority and might of Napoleon's Armies and finally embodied in the charter of the United Nations in the aftermath of the calamities of World War II.
As you may have noticed, I'm a great fan of France's Bonaparte, who's armies forced Alsace and Europeans to adopt the discovery and commitment to the Rights of Man. All ethnicities became equal before the law everywhere! This became the singular and essential basis for our modern concepts of international law. (Nothing is perfect, even in Europe, and the treatment of the Roma, for example, is among many areas for needed improvement, of course.)
Let me add to this the following brief note on the Fench National character, again honed from the hard won values of the French Revolution and painful debates in the National Assembly and streets of Paris.
During the Nazi occupation of France, 76% of France's Jews survived! How come? The surprising explanation is that enough ordinary French did not "out" Jews hiding in plain site in their villages or passing through to escape the Nazis. This, despite the natural personal antisemitic upbringing of some and distrust towards Jews held by more than a few. The latter, in any neighborhood or village, could have so easily doomed those Jews who moved into new locations with fake papers. The neighborhood's newcomers might have thought they were well hidden by their new names and papers. Actually it turns out, that likely as not, they were recognized. After the war, it turned out that all the time, folk in the village knew they were Jews and did nothing!! This factual tolerance is evidence of a French cultural deep respect for humanity, even if the aid was so passive as to not actually help rescue, feed or hide Jews. This widespread phenomenon, "the act of not reporting to the authorities", is a testament to the great lasting treasures the revolutionary debates of the street and Assembly gave to France as an inheritance. It did not solve all issues of ethnic bias, but did provide a moral backbone that's exemplary..................... and those who actually hid Jews were so brave, as they risked the execution of their entire family!So in France's current challenges, I know the essential backbone of values can ultimately prevail. We do not need to be perfect, but we must be more than "good enough", in every generation to preserve Liberté, Egalité and Fraternité.
Thank you, Nicolas and thank you France!
"Je Suis Charlie!" ..This is not just France in the court of judgement, but all the gains and values of Western Society in an existential fight with forces against blind savagery and delusion under the fanatical banner of faith.

The Future Called and Wants to Know if You're EMR Compliant.
In 2014, being EMR compliant means having automatic transmission and measurement of weight and height, and calculation of BMI (body mass index). Those who are not compliant by 2018 will lose federal subsidies and be penalized with diminished Medicare and Medicaid payments.
Health o meter® Professional Scales has the solution. A simple and easy way to become compliant is with Elevate, the Health o meter® EMRscale™.
The Elevate EMRscale™ automatically calculates, displays and transmits height, weight and BMI. These measurements are then instantly loaded into the practitioner's proprietary EMR/EHR system through the industry leading vital signs monitor. There is no manual entry or calculation of height, weight or BMI which is what makes the scale EMR/EHR compliant. It's a fast and simple way to meet the meaningful use criteria as well as improve workflow and ensure accuracy.
To help practitioners become EMR compliant and meet meaningful use criteria, Health o meter Professional developed the Elevate EMRscale. The Elevate EMRscale is the only scale on the market that is both EMR connected and compliant.
Elevate not only electronically gathers height, weight and BMI, but it also transmits those measurements into EMR/EHR systems through Welch Allyn Vital Signs LXi or Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs monitors.
Elevate's connectivity with the Welch Allyn Vital Signs LXi or Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs monitors allows the EMR system to accept the scale's data, for those EMR systems that have written an interface to these Welch Allyn devices.
This automatic transmission of the data into the EMR/EHR system helps practitioners comply with the HITECH Act's regulation that height, weight and BMI must be electronically stored in a patient's health record.

DETROIT (AP) ? Now in his fourth season, Rick Porcello has a lot of experience for a 23-year-old.
DETROIT (AP) — Now in his fourth season, Rick Porcello has a lot of experience for a 23-year-old.
Detroit hopes he's finally ready to become one of the game's elite pitchers.
Porcello threw seven solid innings on a snowy afternoon at Comerica Park, and Detroit's powerful offense finally broke through in the eighth Tuesday to give the Tigers a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Miguel Cabrera doubled and scored on Prince Fielder's single, part of a decisive three-run rally.
Porcello allowed two runs and seven hits, working at a comfortable pace in the chilly weather.
"I don't think I even realized how fast I was going," Porcello said. "I was throwing strikes and I guess wanted to keep that going."
After Fielder's tiebreaking single, a light snow shower passed briefly over Comerica Park. Jhonny Peralta added a sacrifice fly and Gerald Laird followed with an RBI single for a three-run lead.
Phil Coke (1-0) pitched the eighth in relief of Porcello, and Jose Valverde finished for his first save of the season. Valverde blew a save chance for the first time since 2010 in Thursday's opener against Boston. Austin Jackson homered for Detroit, the AL's last unbeaten team after handing the Rays their first defeat.
Porcello struck out four and walked one in a game that began amid snow flurries with the temperature in the 40s. Although the Tigers scored 26 runs in a three-game sweep of Boston, their starting pitching was already becoming a concern. Doug Fister went on the disabled list with a left side strain, and Max Scherzer couldn't make it out of the third inning in his start Sunday.
Porcello went 14-9 as a rookie in 2009, but he posted ERAs of 4.92 and 4.75 the last two years. On Tuesday, he settled into a nice rhythm in an encouraging effort.
Tampa Bay's Matt Moore allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He walked five and struck out four in his second career regular-season start. The 22-year-old also started a playoff game last year, not long after making his debut.
The Rays intentionally walked Cabrera in the fifth to load the bases for Fielder, and the move worked when he lifted a routine fly to left that ended the inning. With first base open in the eighth, Tampa Bay chose to pitch to Fielder. He singled up the middle off Jake McGee (0-1), and Cabrera lumbered around to score for a 3-2 lead.
"I liked the lefty-lefty matchup with Prince," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "Prince hit the ball in the perfect spot."
Tampa Bay had gone ahead 2-1 in the seventh on an RBI infield single by Desmond Jennings, but Jackson homered in the bottom half off Moore.
Detroit has won its first four games — three in its final at-bat. The Rays lost for the first time after a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees. It was their first regular-season loss in nine games. They won their last five of 2011 to snatch a surprising playoff berth.
Tampa Bay opened the scoring in the third when Evan Longoria drew a bases-loaded walk. Detroit tied it in the bottom half when Moore's wild pitch enabled Jackson to score.
"I choked on a changeup and bounced it," Moore said. "That was just an awful pitch."
NOTES: Tampa Bay OF Luke Scott missed the game and is day to day with a tight left hamstring. ... Tigers manager Jim Leyland said INF Brandon Inge (strained left groin) was heading to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday night for a rehabilitation assignment. ... Leyland also said LHP Adam Wilk will pitch Saturday against the White Sox in Chicago. Detroit had a vacancy in its rotation after Fister went on the DL. ... There also was a light snow shower in the fifth inning. ... Tampa Bay used a starting pitcher age 30 or younger for a 900th consecutive game, a streak dating to 2006.

Digging to America - Orange Prize 2007 SHORTLISTEDAnne Tyler
This is a novel about intercultural adoption and what it reveals about cultures and relationships. But to sum it up thus is to collapse the many dimensions and insights of the book into a glib sales pitch. Two families meet at the delivery of their new babies. Because these babies are Korean adoptees, the moment in Baltimore Airport is public and shared, and begins a bond between the Yazdans and the Donaldson-Dickinsons that is the core of the book.
Like most of Anne Tyler's books, this one is well-observed, the characters are inconsistent in the way that real people are, which makes them believable, and the details that tell the story are small, convincing ones. Food is a recurrent theme, not just the dishes that both families prepare for the annual 'Arrival Day' party, but even the words people use for simple dishes, and how they are pronounced: 'polo' or 'rice'? The word chosen, of course, reveals as much abut the listener as the speaker.
The Yazdans are Iranian immigrants, though both Sami and Ziba were raised in America and Sami's mother Maryam has not been back to Iran for years. To Sami and Ziba's eyes, the Donaldsons are the all-American family which they aspire to be, and Maryam observes their subtle (and not-so-subtle) emulation of Brad and Bitsy with wry scepticism.
But with gentle humour, Tyler draws out the ironies and complexities of the characters' relationships with their own, as well as each others' cultures. Sami loves to deride Americans at Iranian gatherings, relying on their shared experience as immigrants. He makes jokes about Americans' willingness to sue each other, their unwillingness to discuss money, and the unwritten rules that underlie their supposed tolerance. But he does so in English as, born and raised in Baltimore, he always refused to speak Farsi.
The Donaldsons themselves, far from being boorish cultural imperialists, are most typically American in their desperation to apologise for cultural insensitivity. Their Korean daughter keeps the name Jin-Ho, while Sami and Ziba call their child Susan. Bitsy Donaldson goes to great efforts to prepare Iranian dishes, while Ziba turns to sushi for more sophisticated entertaining.
There's much more here than a comedy of manners. The outside world makes its bigger conflicts felt in small but immediate ways. After 11 September 2001, an Iranian cousin is held up by security on a journey from his home in Canada. Maryam knows that the Iran she remembers from her teenage years no longer exists.
And on more intimate levels, Tyler can use small details to big emotional effect, as the book deals with loss as well as the arrival of new children. 'Why, this is just unbearable,' thinks a character mourning a dead partner, 'I should have been allowed to practice on somebody less important first. I don't know how to do this.'
Perhaps that is what makes Tyler's characters so real. Though they often sense that something is expected of them, they seldom know what it is or how to deliver it. Bitsy tries to direct the important moments of her life, organising parties to mark the occasion, or to control in some way the emotional impact on her family and herself. Of course, she can't control things, and like everyone she has to cope with the terrible as well as the joyful sides of life.
At first, we too laugh at Bitsy and her desperation to make everything right. We empathise with Maryam, who resists joining in on Bitsy's terms, and refuses to play the exotic Persian. But like any reader, don't we also want a happy ending? When the characters rebel against our own hopes, it's hard to accept that real people sometimes don't want to fit into their allotted roles.
And, in the end, the book asks the question – who allots the roles we feel expected to play? How much can we blame culture, our own or other people's, for what we do or refuse to do? There's a revealing scene between Maryam and her Turkish friend Kari, discussing how to deflect unwanted male interest. 'I tell them my culture forbids it,' says Kari, relying on her suitors' ignorance of Turkish customs. She even jokes that Maryam could always take up wearing a veil.
At times, Tyler seems to slide towards Bitsy's weakness for setting up grand set-piece occasions, almost as if she has one eye on the film of the book. The epic structure, returning to the annual Arrival Day parties to mark the two families' progress, sometimes lacks drive when the characters' own reluctance to engage can make them less engaging to the reader. But these are minor complaints.
Digging to America does just what a novel should. It uses the writer's imagination to take us inside the lives of people unlike ourselves, and teaches us more about our own. It has the rare gift of letting us laugh at characters while feeling empathy for them, with sharp flashes of pain at unexpected moments. But don't expect any easy guide to multicultural life. This book, like life, has more questions than answers.

These cars would tell a story if they could talk, but all they can do is roar.
The Monterey Motorsports Reunion race is one of the highlights of Monterey Car Week, featuring vintage cars from every marque going full out on the famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, California. Watching someone race through the legendary Corckscrew is one thing, but actually experiencing it for yourself is another. Although your author has taken to the track numerous times, piloting a vintage race car in a competitive sprint and participating in a racing school behind the wheel of modern technology are wildly different undertakings.
We set out to speak with a participant within this year's Monterey Motorsports Reunion that successfully raced these vehicles before they were considered "vintage." While walking through the rows and rows of beautiful race cars we happened to find one such racer who has more experience than most anyone at the Reunion. John Morton is a nine-time Le Mans driver among other series and was willing to give us a few minutes of his time fresh off the track.
Morton started sports car racing in 1963 and is still going strong today. Racing almost anything you can think of, Morton doesn't have a preference, just as long as he gets to drive it. Like some of us, his obsession started because of his dad, who took him to the Midget races. From there he decided he wanted to race sports cars.
It ['40 Ford Jalopy] wasn't much, but it was enough to ruin my grades.
The very first sports car Morton raced was a Lotus Super 7 in 1963. But even before then he also had raced a '40 Ford Jalopy on dirt tracks during college. "It wasn't much, but it was enough to ruin my grades," he stated.
He then set focus on racing Le Mans, one of the best-known and most exciting four-wheeled races on the planet. Accomplishing that goal occurred. Driving it nine times, Morton described it as "thrilling" and "my favorite." He also mentioned that it is an event like the Indy 500 - one rich with prestige, history and a large fan base. "Getting to go there is a big deal, my favorite place to go race," he recalled.
Getting to go there [Le Mans] is a big deal, my favorite place to go race.
Out of all the tracks he had driven, Morton named just a few that stood out: Road America, Laguna Seca and Watkins Glen. But his favorite race was at Riverside, a CA track that no longer exists. It's no wonder Morton chose the 1987 race at Riverside because it was the very last Times Grand Prix before the track closed for good. He also won that race.
Past that final race at Riverside something else noteworthy occurred. Morton originally came out to California to attend Carroll Shelby's racing school. Soon, Shelby gave him a job and he started to become more involved in the racing scene. Morton even recalls the car he drove at Shelby's school as the very first prototype Cobra (in 1962). At the time Morton did not see or appreciate the significance of this, but today he remembers it fondly.
When we asked what he thought about the Historic races here at Laguna Seca, he explained, "These cars would tell a story if they could talk, but all they can do is roar." Couldn't have put it better ourselves.

CHICAGO (Aug. 28, 2009) -- U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Thomas Rongen has finalized the 21-player roster that will represent the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup from Sept. 24-Oct. 16 in Egypt. The roster features a blend of professional and collegiate players, including two players with prior U-20 World Cup experience in UCLA goalkeeper Brian Perk and FC Dallas defender Anthony Wallace.
"It's a culmination of two years of investing and looking at players through a good training environment and playing high level games and trying to figure out which 21 eventually would represent the United States well in Egypt.,†said Rongen, who will be at the helm of his third U-20 World Cup squad. "It's a long process and the coaches take great pride in making sure we select the right players, and we have come to the conclusion that the 21 players we have selected are the guys that will do a great job for our team.â€
The U.S. team will depart for Larnaca, Cyprus, on Sept. 14 and play a final tune-up against Australia before traveling to Suez, Egypt, on Sept. 21. The U.S. will open against Germany on Sept. 26 before facing Cameroon on Sept. 29 and rounding out group play against Korea Republic on Oct. 2. All three of the USA's group matches will be played at the brand new Mubarak Stadium in Suez.
Every game of the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup will be shown live on the ESPN family of networks with Galavision also broadcasting all three U.S. group games. The first U.S. game will be shown live on ESPN Classic, ESPN360.com at 9:55 a.m. ET, while Galavision will also broadcast the game at 9:55 a.m. ET/PT. The remaining two group games for Rongen's team will be shown live on ESPN2 and on tape delay on Galavision. For a complete television schedule (subject to change), click here. Fans can also follow every U.S. game live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker.
Perk has been the team's top-choice 'keeper since the start of the two-year cycle. He served as a backup in Canada in 2007, and was in the net for a 2-1 win against Uruguay in the Round of 16. In seven international games this year, the 5 feet 11 inch netminder has allowed only one goal for a stingy 0.14 goals against average and six shutouts. Sean Johnson, who stands an imposing 6 feet 4 inches, and FIFA U-17 World Cup veteran Joshua Lambo likely will serve as more than capable back ups.
The defensive corps will be led by team captain Kyle Davies, who has become a regular in the FC Dallas starting lineup since a mid-season transfer from English club Southampton. He will be joined by club teammate Wallace and three others who return from the team's successful qualifying campaign in March, in Gale Agbossoumonde, Aaron Maund and Sheanon Williams. That group, which posted four shutouts during the CONCACAF U-20 Championship in March, will be bolstered by Wake Forest's Ike Opara.
The midfield represents an even mix of college and professional players, including two who will join the team from European clubs with Jared Jeffrey, who plays for Belgian side Club Brugge, and Norwegian-based Mikkel Diskerud, who plays for Stabek. The Houston Dynamo's Danny Cruz and Chivas USA's Jorge Flores round out the pro players in midfield. Rutgers University's Dilly Duka, who had a standout performance in Trinidad & Tobago during qualifying, leads a collegiate contingent that includes Virginia's Brian Ownby, Michael Stephens from UCLA and Notre Dame freshman Dillon Powers, who will be looking to continue a breakout year that saw him earn both the U-17/18 Development Academy and Gatorade National Boy's Soccer Player of the Year Awards.
A pair of forwards, Peri Marosevic and Brek Shea, complete the group of five players who will represent FC Dallas in Egypt. The duo also tops the roster in career goals, with Marosevic netting five in 14 caps and Shea tallying four goals in 10 U-20 internationals. Sam Garza, who in 2008 helped lead the University of Denver to its first NCAA Tournament since 1970, and Jacksonville University's Tony Taylor are also expected to be key members of the U.S. attack.
The U.S. will be competing in its seventh consecutive and 12th overall FIFA U-20 World Cup, previously known as the FIFA World Youth Championship. They will be looking to build upon a successful campaign under Rongen in 2007, where the Americans took the top place in what was widely considered to be the tournament's "Group of Death†that included Brazil, Poland and Korea Republic before falling in overtime in the quarterfinals to Austria.
The U.S. qualified for the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup by posting a 2-1-2 record at the 2009 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in March, collecting four straight shutouts before being downed by Costa Rica in the final. Costa Rica, Honduras and Trinidad & Tobago will all join the U.S. to represent the region in Egypt.
Out of the 11 appearances in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the USA's best finish came during the tournament in 1989 in Saudi Arabia. With goalkeeper Kasey Keller leading the way, the U.S. advanced to the semifinals and finished in fourth place.

Mainland High School Lacrosse Plays For Charity
- Mainland Regional High School
- 1301 Oak Ave, Linwood, NJ 08221 United States
Additional Information
The Mainland Regional High School boys lacrosse team will play for more than just a win Friday. The Mustangs also will be playing for a cause when they host Oakcrest in the HEADstrong charity game at 7 p.m. on the football field. The HEADstrong Foundation was created by Nicholas Colleluori of Holmes, Pa. Colleluori played lacrosse at Ridley High School and Hofstra University. After starting in all 16 games his freshman year at Hofstra, Colleluori was diagnosed with blood cancer. He battled cancer for 14 months and passed away in November 2006. During his fight, Colleluori created the foundation to raise awareness and help others battling the disease.
The Mustangs were looking for a way to give back this season and sophomore Brendan Hoelker's mother, Tiffany Hoelker, heard about the foundation from summer tournaments in which her son participated. No admission will be charged, but donations will be accepted and all proceeds from concession sales will be donated to HEADstrong. The Mustangs' developing supporting cast this season includes Chris Sheldon, Ryan Swenson and Brad Meister. The Mustangs also have a tight defense, and junior Daulton Sykora has replaced his graduated brother, Ricky, at goaltender.
Mainland will face an Oakcrest team (4-1) that is stronger and more disciplined than it was last season, according to new Falcons coach Brett Hoffecker.
Mainland hopes that the HEADstrong cause, its youth and drive will help lead it to victory on the special night.

One of the most useful resources when exploring family history is an atlas, especially one giving both political and topographical features.
I find historical atlases useful, too. They enable me to compare changing political boundaries over time.
Does your family history involve changing boundaries and political upheavals?
Have you had a genealogical look around an atlas recently?
Online atlas with an interesting way to compare the history of Europe
Online atlas of world history
Online historical atlas of the 20th century
There are also many local maps, street directories, archive resources and other materials to explore.
I am especially interested in the connections my husband's Italian ancestors had with various Australian places in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their stories are unusual. Few Italians migrated to Australia until after the Second World War. Several of my husband's family members ran businesses in Australia between the 1880s and 1940s.
Perhaps I might find something useful and interesting through the following:
City of Sydney Map Collection
Queensland Historical Atlas
Melbourne University Map Collection
There are a few family history blogs and local history blogs with information I find useful - when I find the time to take a look that is.
Here are two I have found of particular interest:
Moonee Valley Family and Local History Blog
(Even though I have no known family connection with Moonee Valley itself, the blog has a wide range of useful themes and resources providing me with inspiration for my own research)
Anglo Italian Genealogy Research
(Even though I am mainly of Anglo ancestry with no Italian connection and my husband is only of Italian ancestry with no Anglo connection - except for marrying me of course - it is interesting to hear about non-Italian speakers experiences when attempting to obtain information from Italian sources)
I am also always on the lookout for people who may have research interests in common with my own, and particularly those who may already have done the searching I am intending to do.
It saves a lot of time and effort, and sometimes even money, if someone else has already done the work. I don't then need to do it myself.
Perhaps you can recommend blogs and people who may be of interest to me:
Do you have Italian ancestors who came to Australia before the Second World War?
Do you have Belgian ancestors who went to England in the 19th century?
Does your family have a connection with coal mining in east Shropshire in the 19th century and/or south Staffordshire in Edwardian times?
There are so many online resources that save time and money, too, especially when considering visiting a place (or not being able to afford a trip there).
I wrote an earlier blog post about the ways I use Google Street View to explore places in a virtual way. It is very convenient when I am trying to find out where my own ancestors lived.
It is especially nice to be able to avoid the expense of going there in person. I enjoy travelling the world imaginatively - without airports, jetlag, motorways, unpleasant weather and noisy hotels to contend with:
Research and nostalgia through Google Street View
Another very useful source, and one that I use quite often for all four of my blogs, is Wikipedia.
Wikipedia Commons Category: Maps of the history of the United Kingdom
Wikipedia Commons Category: Old maps of the United Kingdom
You may also find videos online of where your ancestors originated.
Have you taken a look?
A video about my cultural heritage
But I did mention in my last blog post that I was going to take a break from writing blogs. What has happened to that?!
I thought I needed to tidy up and sort through my findings, yet again. For this reason, this is a very long blog post. It contains an overview of the whole of my research so far. Perhaps it is itself like an atlas!
It is also a time of year when I send out a great many more family history emails than usual.
Do you map the past with the help of emails?
Do you share photographs and information across distances of time and space?
An invitation to explore my approach to tidying up in a genealogical way
An invitation to reflect upon domestic views on being neat and tidy
You can probably see quite a few family photographs in the right hand column of this blog. They are of some of the people who will be featured in my postings next year.
In the top picture, you may recognise my grandparents, Harry and Dorothy. The little girl is my mother and the boy is her late brother, Garry.
My grandmother is wearing a blouse we think came from Hungary. We do not know how Dorothy came to have a beautiful, embroidered Hungarian blouse, though. Do you know if it is Hungarian, and which part of Hungary it came from?
I would be interested to know if you write about your family history in the same way I write about mine.
Most of the documents I have collected, and my analyses of them, are mostly for the private benefit of close relatives.
I do not publish many intimate details about my ancestors. I am sure they would be horrified if they thought the world could pry into their private matters, whether during their lives or afterwards!
But how much of a "public life" is appropriate for your ancestors now, and would they approve of what you write about them?
Here are some examples of blog posts mentioning my maternal grandparents:
The working lives of ancestors
A Shropshire lad called Harry
Superstitions and traditions
Ancestry and privacy
The age of reflecting on age
Names and literacy
Liberty, Normandy June 1944
My grandmother's maiden name was Harris. Having a common surname is not very helpful to family historians! However, I have persevered and this has paid off in some wonderfully unexpected ways.
Making comparisons:
Staffordshire miner becomes Prime Minister of Australia
Making connections:
Something quite marvellous
I have not revealed the surnames of either of my grandfathers for reasons of privacy. That has been a decision especially for the benefit of my living relatives.
However you may wish to know more about the lives of my grandfathers and their families:
Harry's mother - Lily of Lawley Common
Harry's grandmothers - Emily or Eliza?
Songs my mother never taught me
In the right-hand column of this blog is the London Heritage picture of the Ginn family in 1901. That family is part of my father's ancestry. The Ginns have already been mentioned a few times here.
Are any of your own relatives linked to the Ginns of Huntingdonshire, especially around St Neots?
Here are my three earlier Ginn blog posts:
Family discoveries in the Dardanelles
Being earnest with Alice in wonderland
Huntingdonshire heritage
Here are some more blog posts mentioning my great grandmother, whose maiden name was Annie Ginn:
Working families
My fair ancestors in Mayfair
Faces from the past
(from my By Any Other Name blog)
I also have a photograph of a mystery house I am still trying to identify. Perhaps you can help.
To me, the house looks as if it is in a neo-Renaissance style, meaning that it was likely to have been built when that style was still fashionable. The house may be in England or it may be in the United States.
Here is a Wikipedia article about the architectural style
I have also mentioned the topic of ancestry several times on my other blogs. Here are a few posts you might enjoy reading:
Growing older in Australia
Earth hour every hour
Sacred mountains
Age and identity
Cultural identity
The real world
Then there are the three family history series I have written here at Ancestors Within, and elsewhere. Have you seen them?
The Mill in Ossolaro part one
and part two.
Part three of The Mill in Ossolaro is continued within a Continual Journeys blog post called Why Travel?
You can also find out more about the story of the mill in my blog posts called Via the independent scholar and From Ossolaro to Australia.
The Spice of Life part one
Part two
Part three
Part four
At the Seaside part one
Part two
Part three
Part four
Part five
Returning to the right-hand column of this blog, you will see a picture of a very glamorous young woman under the heading of Australian Heritage. Her name was Mary and her husband's name was Joseph. I think that is quite an appropriate thing to mention at this time of year, though they did not have a baby called Jesus as far as I am aware!
A picture of Joseph (to the right, not the couple above!) is under the heading of Basilicata Heritage further down the column, with a family group in between called Lombardy Heritage.
Joseph and his sister Josephine were born in Australia. Their parents were born in Basilicata. Josephine married a young man who came to Australia from Lombardy. They became my husband's paternal grandparents.
Learn more about Josephine
Justice for Josephine
Unlocking Australia's past
Learn more about Josephine's family
Her maternal grandfather - A man from the Mezzogiorno
Her father - in search of - A better life
Her husband - Civilian internment in the Second World War
Another young man, who was born not far from where Joseph and Josephine's parents came from, may be familiar to you. He was known as Rudolf Valentino although his real name was Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Piero Filiberto Guglielmi. I think Joseph may have quite easily been a rival of his for similar roles in Hollywood, if Joe's parents had chosen a different migration destination.
We can often learn more about the lives of our own families by exploring the biographies of those who may have been more famous. My husband is not related to Rudolf Valentino as far as I am aware, though you may wish to see a photograph of the movie star on Wikipedia and compare him to Uncle Joe.
The Wikipedia article also gives an interesting background to conditions in Southern Italy during Rudolf Valentino's childhood - and perhaps it has cultural relevance to my husband's ancestry.
I have written a few blog post on other ways to gain insights into the social and cultural history of family members:
The art of knowing
Understanding ancestry
Finding great grandparents
My heritage, your heritage, our heritage
Connect to your heritage
We are all related
Celebrities and you
Exciting new discoveries
Objects or subjects - your ancestors
Dealing with dark clouds and black sheep
Lost relatives regained
Taking the best of the past into the future
Treasure troves
Public history and you
Where you are now
Important years in history
Community and commonality
A postcard from a stranger
You may like to know that Joseph became a sailor, a dental mechanic and a very good golfer. Both he and Mary had a long and happy life together, too. I think Uncle Joe was very glad he did not become a movie star!
You will see in the right-hand column that there is a photograph entitled Belgian and British Heritage. The children look rather cold on the beach, don't they?! The picture was taken in the late 1920s, probably by their father Jack, whose own childhood is especially interesting to me:
A Carnaby Street childhood
Shadows of inheritance
1870s migration from Belgium to London
Flemish ancestors
Much of my Spice of Life series (mentioned above) also relates to Jack's family.
I have mentioned family life in a more general sense on my other three blogs and you may also find those posts useful while exploring your own family history:
A perfect afternoon tea
Family honour and freedom
Educational journeys
Imagine the sound of one world
Menial roles, higher goals and social enterprise
Stopping sectarianism
A respectful exploration of identity
Entertainment, friendship and identity
Theories of cultural identity
Special times
Virtual Via Nation
Of good moral character
Origins of family names
Uncertainty, rejection and art
World class
Quietly unfamous
Pro-social living
Another you
Naming or shaming?
I hope I have mapped my family history research quite well in this blog post. It will be one of my main reference points in the year ahead.
At the bottom of the right hand column is an In Memoriam picture of Arthur Ginn, who died at Galipolli during the First World War. The picture above that is of my husband's maternal grandmother and great grandmother, who were also on the front line at the time, but in Italy in the Veneto region.
Are your ancestors from the Veneto region of Italy, especially the Crocetta del Montello and Piave River area? Did they migrate to Australia after the First World War but before the Second World War? If so, you may like to get in touch with me and compare notes.
One of my tasks away from blogging will be to finish writing in a more private way (ie. not online) about the discoveries I have made over the past eighteen months or so, most of which have not been revealed here. One of my biggest struggles is the fact that I do not speak any Italian, or any Italian dialect, and nor does my husband.
An introduction to my task for next year:
Amazing genealogical discoveries
(Which I have not yet had time to write about in much detail)
Well, this is a deliberately long blog post, meaning that (hopefully) I will not need to write another one for quite some time. It may also give you an indication of why I rarely have time to leave messages on other people's blogs!
Your comments on any of my posts are still welcome at any time, however, as are your email messages.
I wish you a very pleasant, peaceful and productive genealogical year in 2011.

Warren Buffett backed auto parts maker Wabco Holdings has cornered most of several market segments in India, but the business tells us that it is only beginning its plans in this country. Intensifying competition and new laws for mandatory advanced braking systems in the auto world will certainly enhance the need for Wabco's products in the country, said its top official.
"We see opportunities related to safety which will emerge from the government mandate, such as antilock braking system, as well as other technologies that increase vehicle efficiency like automatic manual transmission," Jacques Esculier, chairman and CEO of Belgium-based Wabco Holdings, told in an interview with ETin.
He mentions that it's going to lead to a content increase per vehicle, which is a major metric in the automobile sector. "Our market is $3,000 (Rs1.8 lakh) of product and systems in Europe. It goes down to just a few hundred dollars in India. So that gives you the room to progressively bring those technologies to India."
Just four years ago, Wabco got out of a 40 year old joint venture with Sundaram Clayton, owned by Venu Srinivasan, when they acquired the majority stake in Wabco – TVS, which makes air braking systems.
Since this took place, many Wabco Holding's products are now available to Wabco India.
Listed on the stock exchanges in India, Wabco India has grown its top line at a 12.5% compounded annual growth rate since the end of fiscal year 2013. Profits have risen by 13.3%, even with a slowdown in the commercial vehicle industry. "Our objective is not top line or bottom line. It is to outperform the market in every region we are in and India fits in perfectly," Esculier said. "Last year, Wabco outperformed the global market by 8%."
The company, worth $2.7 billion, gets 19% of its sales from Asia and 62% of its sales from European countries. Aftermarket sales consist of about 23% of their revenue. Wabco owns a massive 85% share in the market of air braking systems in India for heavy to medium trucks. Now Wabco India intends to bring more technology like automatic manual transmission and antilock braking systems into the country, which is a key strength of the parent company.
Wabco believes that the commercial vehicle landscape in India, now changing and consisting of 12 major players compared to just two only 10 years ago, will boost the demand for the newer fuel-efficient technologies. Wabco looks at Volvo and Daimler as two of its major customers, on a list of companies that include Scania, Tata Motors, MAN and Ashok Leyland.
"The entry of new players has accelerated the phase of standardization of technology, safety and reliability. While foreign players are eyeing the local market, Indian players looking to become globally competitive," said Esculier.
Analysts believe that immediate benefits for the company will come from the government mandate that makes antilock braking systems a requirement. ABS is a safety system put into place to prevent uncontrolled skidding when braking. The US-made ABS mandatory in 1999, while Europe did so in 1997. It is currently mandatory for trucks carrying hazardous goods in India, but it will be extended to other vehicle types as well.
"ABS is obviously the major contributor to safety on the road for commercial vehicles. It has been proven that way in different areas of the world so far. In India, it is taking shape," Esculier said.

Police chase woman after she leaps from window
Police chased an Orange resident through the woods Friday, Sept. 6, after she jumped from her third-floor hotel window and attempted to run from officers serving an arrest warrant.
OPD officer Brice Due reported that he and two fellow officers were dispatched to the Studio 6 hotel at 2502 N. Highway 62 in Orange in reference to a warrant service from Jefferson County on 31-year-old Brandi Berwick, who was believed to be staying at the hotel. According to the police report, officers confirmed with the manager that Berwick was in a room at the hotel. Officers, along with the manager, went to suspect's room and knocked. They received no response. After a short time, a concerned citizen approached the officers and reported seeing a woman jump from the third-floor window of the suspect's room.
Due said his fellow officers observed Berwick run into a nearby wooded area. The officers split up and found Berwick hiding in the woods. After a short foot chase, officer reportedly apprehended Berwick and arrested her.
Police noted in the report that the suspect was limping noticeably but refused medical attention. According to the report, once at the Orange County Correctional Facility refused to her admit Berwick without a medical examination. The suspect was taken to Baptist Hospital in Orange for treatment and then back to jail for booking.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc (KW) Hits New 52-week Low During February 11 SessionEquities Staff Follow |

Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc saw 281,551 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 114.5 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 414,562 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc enters the new trading day with a market cap of 1.82 billion, a 50-day SMA of $22.00 and a 200-day SMA of $23.95
