French management schools are rethinking their apprenticeship policies as competition for public funding increases. While some schools are already reducing the number of apprentices, other schools are getting around this problem by setting up apprenticeship-like schemes through scholarships, internships or temporary contracts.
"The main challenge for the development of apprenticeships is the funding issue," says Pierre Tapie, president and dean of Essec Business School and head of the Confédération des Grandes Écoles, a body which represents over 200 higher education institutions in France. Essec has already reduced the number of apprenticeships it offers to 650 from its peak of 760 in 2010.
Apprenticeships in France make it possible for people aged 16 to 25 to combine academic learning with concrete professional experience. The system involves a working contract signed by the employer, the apprentice and the training institution. Originally designed for vocational courses in the French lycées, it was opened to higher education in the late 1980s.
Both employers and students benefit. Students do not have to pay tuition fees, and earn a percentage of the minimum wage for their work during their academic training. They also gain their first significant professional experience. Companies can source young talent and, during the course of the apprenticeship, receive government subsidies. They are also exempt from paying welfare contributions.
Growing popularity
Essec set up the first apprenticeship-based course in 1993 and since then there has been an enthusiastic adoption of apprenticeships by management schools.
A recent survey of CGE member business schools showed that respondents offered 4,400 apprenticeships accounting for 7 per cent of their student headcount. "There is considerable demand for apprenticeships from students as well as from companies," says Jean-François Fiorina, vice-dean at Grenoble École de Management. His school currently has 381 students working and studying at the same time, of whom only a third are within the formal apprenticeship framework.
Funding pressure
Money for apprenticeships at business schools is scarce, however. Out of a total number of about 425,000 apprenticeships in France, only 4,400 are in business schools. Apprenticeships are funded through a complex mechanism involving central government, local government (régions) and companies.
According to figures released by the ministry of labour, public spending for apprenticeships amounted to €4.5bn in 2010, slightly up from €4.35bn a year earlier, although a huge jump on 2008's spend of €3.66bn. However, business schools have not, on the whole, been the beneficiaries of the extra funding.
Apprenticeships are partly funded by a tax on corporations and while companies can channel part of their contribution to the schools they want to support, the bulk of the public spending allocation power resides with local governments.
Politics weighs in
Moreover, these régions have recently tended to favour the lower end of the academic spectrum as the country struggles to deal with high youth unemployment.
Higher education students, who represented a very small fraction of the total number of apprenticeships back in the early 1990s, now account for over a third of them.
Several surveys carried out by the Céreq, a French government think-tank which carries out research on education, skills and training, suggest apprenticeships make very little difference to the future employability of those in higher education, but help significantly those who achieve lower academic qualifications.
Critics of this view argue that apprenticeships also enable many students to gain access to expensive courses that they would otherwise be unable to follow. The Céreq statistics, they say, should be analysed with caution.
As competition for funding increases, the debate over what kind of schools and what kind of courses should be helped the most gets tougher but the general funding conundrum remains.

Merck settles lawsuits over cholesterol drug for $688 million
Merck & Co. has agreed to pay $688 million to settle two long-running lawsuits brought by investors who alleged the drugmaker delayed releasing bad news on its blockbuster cholesterol drugs to prevent a drop in sales.
Merck, the world's third biggest drugmaker by revenue, said yesterday that it agreed to the settlement because it's in the best interest of the company and current shareholders. It is taking a charge of nearly a half-billion dollars against 2012 earnings.
The delay in releasing results of a study that was meant to bolster sales of pricey cholesterol pills Zetia and Vytorin triggered criticism by analysts, investors, some scientists and the media — and ultimately an investigation by Congress.
The maker of Januvia Type 2 diabetes pills and the Gardasil vaccine against sexually transmitted cancers admitted no wrongdoing. The deal must be approved by a federal judge.
"The settlement gets a cloud out of the sky for Merck," said Erik Gordon, an analyst and professor at University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
The settlement is among the top 25 securities class action settlements ever, according to Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, co-lead counsel in the litigation brought by a number of large pension funds.
Merck said in a statement that it's taking a charge of $493 million. The company also restated previously reported financial results, reducing its 2012 fourth-quarter results to 30 cents per share from 46 cents per share, and its 2012 results to $2 per share from $2.16 per share.
Merck and its then-partner Schering-Plough, which it later acquired, for about two years had delayed disclosing results of the study, known by the acronym ENHANCE. It tested how well Vytorin and Zetia reduced plaque buildup in neck arteries of patients with high cholesterol. The drugs had already been on the market for a few years, and together generated a combined $5.2 billion in 2007 alone.
The study was intended to give the pills a bigger edge over rival medicines in the nearly $40 billion-a-year global market for cholesterol drugs, by showing that besides reducing bad, or LDL cholesterol, the pills prevented it from clogging arteries — and presumably from causing heart attacks and strokes. But imaging of neck arteries of ENHANCE study participants showed that Zetia and Vytorin, which combines Zetia with a generic version of Merck's older cholesterol pill Zocor, didn't work any better than cheap generic Zocor did alone.
When Merck in early 2008 finally released the ENHANCE study results, Merck stock tumbled, causing big losses for investors, and sales of the two pills declined in the U.S.
Bernstein Litowitz, Grant & Eisenhofer and other law firms representing pension funds in the U.S. and elsewhere that held Merck and Schering-Plough stock then filed suits against each of the companies. Under the settlement agreement, Schering-Plough, which became part of Merck in 2009, will pay $473 million, and Merck will pay $215 million. A Merck spokesman said the company expects insurance to cover part of the total, reducing Merck's liability to the $493 million for which it's taking a charge.
Edward Jones analyst Judson Clark said the settlement is "largely a non-issue for long-term equity investors."
However, he added, "The combined number was probably a little higher than many investors were expecting and that's reflected in today's price movement."
Merck said in a statement that "numerous clinical trials conducted over the years have demonstrated a strong relationship between lowering LDL cholesterol and reduced risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality."
It added that its ongoing IMPROVE-IT study, an 18,000-patient study of Vytorin, should answer the question of whether lowering LDL cholesterol to very low levels with Vytorin could reduce heart attacks and strokes more than generic Zocor alone could do.
However, during a conference call two weeks ago to review fourth-quarter results, Merck executives would not reassure nervous analysts that the IMPROVE-IT study will show that benefit. Merck stressed then that it has numerous drugs in late-stage development and plans this year to file for approval of five of them. Still, two analysts quickly downgraded their ratings on its shares, one from "Hold" to "Sell" and the other from "Buy" to "Hold."
Analyst Les Funtleyder, a health care strategist at private equity fund Poliwogg, said the settlement news "will get lost in concern over" Merck saying recently that it will delay for about a year plans to apply for approval of a crucial new osteoporosis drug, odanacatib, while it waits for additional study results.
The settlement comes less than three weeks before the case was to come to trial. It had been scheduled to begin on March 4, before U.S. District Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh in Newark, who must approve the settlement.
Last February Merck settled another lawsuit over delay of the ENHANCE study results by agreeing to more promptly report research results to investors and patients. The company's research division must give an annual report to the board of directors on any delays over a year in publicly disclosing results of patient studies. Merck also agreed to pay about $5 million to cover expenses of the retirement plan that brought the lawsuit.

The primary mission of the Political Science Department's graduate program is to prepare students for careers in academia. The department gives equal emphasis to training students for both the research and teaching sides of such a career. Many of our graduates also successfully apply their political science training to non-academic careers. The Ph.D. program offers study in three broadly defined fields: American Politics, International Relations, and Comparative politics. The Ph.D. program seeks primarily to develop the research skills and substantive knowledge necessary for successful completion of a dissertation.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 7 years
Main Campus
Students are able to complete the degree program through classes offered after 4:30 p.m. Students are able to complete the degree program on a part-time basis (8 credit hours or less per semester).

Not applicable.
Not applicable.
Coursework in the American Politics field covers a wide variety of topics and institutions including: the presidency and the administrative system of government; Congress and the legislative process; the judiciary and consitutional law; public policy; political parties and political process; and urban politics and policy. Courses offered in International Relations may be arrayed under several areas, such as the nature of the international political system; international conflict and its resolution and international political economy. Courses offered in Comparative Politics include comparative politics of advanced industrial nations; comparative politics of developing nations; Western Europe; latin America China; and democratization. Students are encouraged to arrange their course offerings in whatever manner makes coherent intellectual sense to them and their primary advisor.
Most Ph.D. students are preparing for college teaching careers. Our program has had an excellent placement record. About three-quarters of recent Ph.D.s hold tenured or tenure-track professorial positions at colleges and universities, many of which are in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware state university and college systems. Other Ph.D.s are in government or research positions.
Students wishing to take graduate courses as a non-matriculated student must get the permission of the Graduate Chair. An applicant who has taken Political Science courses as a non-matriculated student at Temple University can apply up to 9 semester hours toward the Ph.D. course requirements, as long as the courses taken satisfy the degree requirements. Students considering applying to the Ph.D. program while taking courses on a non-matriculated basis should discuss their plans with the Graduate Chair.
Departmental Support. The department has resources to support a portion of the graduate students on a competitive basis. Students accepted to the program will receive application forms. The amount of support available varies from year to year. Highly superior students may be nominated for University Fellowships. All departmental support requires recipients to teach or assist full time faculty in undergraduate courses. Undergraduate teaching complements graduate study very well, and helps graduate students integrate their studies and prepare for examinations. It is also highly desirable for Ph.D. students who plan on pursuing an academic career. In making funding awards, the Graduate Committee places high priority on a student's academic performance or potential. The following rules and criteria guide the committee's decisions: A student must be making normal progress toward meeting his/her degree requirements. Two incompletes disqualifies a student from consideration. Advanced students should note that no student will be supported who has not successfully defended a dissertation prospectus within a year of passing the comprehensive examinations. No student will be supported for a second year without having successfully completed P.S. 404, Teaching Methods. (This is a required course for all doctoral students.) To spread support more broadly and to provide an incentive for students to move quickly through course work and examinations and into the dissertation, the department typically will not provide support for students who have already had four years of support as a Teaching Assistant. The graduate committee considers the extent to which a student's interests and skills fit departmental needs.

U.N. team confirms sarin attack; Assad military implicated
A United Nations report released Monday confirmed that poison gas was used against Syrian civilians in a deadly attack last month that U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the most significant use of chemical weapons against civilians since Saddam Hussein gassed thousands of villagers in 1988.
Ban said U.N. inspectors had found "overwhelming and indisputable" evidence that surface-to-surface rockets carrying the banned nerve agent sarin were fired into the Ghouta suburb of Damascus on Aug. 21, according to the report presented to the U.N. Security Council. Assigning culpability for the attack wasn't part of the team's mandate, but experts say the findings point to Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces based on the munitions used and the sophistication and range of the delivery system.
"Any way you cut it, this has been a bad day for Bashar Assad," said Brian Finlay, a chemical weapons specialist who's the managing director of the Stimson Center, a Washington-based global security research center. "The report suggests he either A, ordered chemical weapons use, or B, lost control of his military and they used it."
In New York, Ban refused to speculate on blame, but he called the attack a war crime and vowed that the perpetrators would be held accountable. He added that issues of responsibility would be discussed at the Security Council, where talks are underway over potential consequences should Assad fail to comply with a U.S.-Russian plan to seize Syrian chemical stockpiles.
"We may all have our own thoughts on this, but I will simply say that this was a grave crime and those responsible must be brought to justice as soon as possible," Ban said.
The report, considered the most thorough and neutral to date in the Syrian chemical weapons controversy, concludes that chemical weapons were used "on a relatively large scale" in the civil war that's raged for more than two years. The Ghouta attack was particularly deadly, the report said, because it took place very early in the morning, when low temperatures helped the gas seep into basements where families had taken shelter.
Just getting to the impact sites was a feat for the inspectors, who relied on assurances from both the regime and rebel fighters for safe passage but still came under fire and received "repeated threats of harm." With only hours to conduct their work, team members interviewed more than 50 survivors, medical personnel and first responders, according to the U.N. They assessed victims' symptoms and collected hair, urine and blood samples.
The survivors' accounts make for what Ban called "chilling reading," with descriptions of common symptoms suffered immediately after the shelling that morning: shortness of breath, runny noses, blurred vision, vomiting, weakness and eventual loss of consciousness. The report said people who first went to the scene to help the victims observed "a large number of individuals lying on the ground," dead or unconscious, and then began suffering their own symptoms.
"Several of these 'first responders' also became ill, with one describing the onset of blurred vision, generalized weakness, shaking, a sensation of impending doom, followed by fainting," according to the report.
Under what's described as a meticulously guarded process to protect the chain of custody, the samples were sent to four laboratories for testing. Eighty-five percent of the blood samples tested positive for sarin, according to the findings. Put another way, of 34 patients who had signs of poisoning, "almost all tested positive for exposure to sarin."
The British ambassador to the United Nations said after he was briefed on the report that the head of the investigation, Dr. Ake Sellstrom, had described the sarin in the assault as of better quality than that used in a 1995 Tokyo terrorist attack or in an Iraqi attack on Kurdish villages in 1988.
"This was no cottage industry use of chemical weapons," he said, adding that it confirmed the British government's belief that only Assad's military could have launched the attack.
The U.N. team also examined impact sites and munitions, and collected 30 soil and environmental samples, "far more than any previous such United Nations investigation." A majority of the rockets or rocket fragments the team examined were confirmed to contain sarin.
The U.N., Human Rights Watch and a number of independent arms-control monitors have determined that the chemical weapons attack in question was delivered by a combination of two unguided surface-to-surface rocket systems – 140 mm and 330 mm – both of which are known to be in the arsenals of Iran, Syria and the militant group Hezbollah but which haven't been claimed or alleged to be in the hands of the rebels, who would find such weapons useful in the siege-style battles common to the civil war.
Without directly pointing the finger, the report left little doubt that the rockets carrying the sarin payload were fired from Syrian government territory and that at least some of them were of Russian manufacture. A photograph in the report showed Cyrillic lettering on the engine of a 140 mm rocket that the inspectors had examined.
Eliot Higgins, a British blogger who writes on the weapons used in the Syrian civil war, wrote on his Brown Moses blog that the evidence for the Syrian government's responsibility far outweighed suggestions of rebel culpability. Recounting the details of the two types of rockets found – one of likely Russian manufacture, the other possibly of Iranian origin – Higgins noted that the rebels have never been known to use either. He also pointed out that rockets similar to the possible Iranian rocket were found at the site of an Aug. 5 alleged chemical attack.
He said the warheads of similar rockets photographed at the scenes of other attacks all had split open the same way, an intentional design feature that was "beyond anything the opposition has manufactured themselves."
The settings on the guidance systems as reported by the inspectors made clear that the rockets were fired from the northeast of Damascus – where the government is in control – to the eastern suburbs, which are under control of rebel forces, said Greg Thielmann, a senior fellow at the Arms Control Association, a nonpartisan research center in Washington.
The advocacy group Human Rights Watch said in a report last week that the Soviet Union had shipped numerous 140 mm rockets and hundreds of rocket launchers to Syria. But Thielmann noted that it wasn't clear whether Syrian engineers had modified the original Soviet design.
The report's disclosures appeared to discredit Russian President Vladimir Putin's assertion last week in an opinion column in The New York Times that "there is every reason to believe" sarin "was used not by the Syrian army, but by opposition forces."
"You would have thought that the Russians would have known this report was coming," Thielmann said. "I don't know why they would have set themselves up this way."
Press Secretary Jay Carney said the White House was reviewing the U.N. report, and he noted that although it didn't specify a source of the attacks, the findings "do support the conclusion the world already reached based on overwhelming evidence that the Assad regime was responsible for the chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21."
He added that only the Assad regime was "capable of delivering that attack, both in the means that it was delivered through surface-to-surface rockets, and using the agent that was used."
The Syrian government didn't immediately respond to the report beyond the state news agency linking to a demand by Russian officials that outside experts study the document and its methodology. However, top Syrian official denounced a report last week by a separate U.N. body that's looking into possible war crimes committed by both sides.
Dr. Faisal al Hamwi, a Geneva-based Syrian diplomat, charged that the Commission of Inquiry report on war crimes had relied on lies delivered from "fugitives from ongoing terrorism investigations." The regime typically refers to rebel forces as "terrorists," and emphasizes the lead role played by al Qaida-style extremists.
The U.N. emphasized that the full picture of chemical weapons use in the Syrian conflict was still incomplete and announced that inspectors would return as soon as they could work out an agreement with the government in order to investigate other sites of purported chemical attacks.
That presumably would include sites of attacks where the suspected agent was chlorine and the delivery system was cruder, which could suggest rebel or other nongovernmental actors, said Finlay, the chemical weapons specialist at the Stimson Center.
"There's enough ambiguity there that one could, if you were sitting in Moscow or Damascus, make a not-unreasonable argument that the Assad regime was not behind those attacks," Finlay said.
Lesley Clark and Mark Seibel in Washington and McClatchy special correspondent Mitchell Prothero in Beirut contributed to this article.

Lager lovers rejoice: A just-released report shows that drinking beer on the regular won't necessarily give you a telltale belly.
According to a new report by the British Beer and Pub Association (which, of course, could be just a teensy bit biased), drinking a bottle of beer may keep you more svelte than tipping back a glass of wine. The findings show that replacing two large glasses of wine a day with two bottles of beer could save you more than 500 calories each week. And that amounts to nearly 60,000 calories a year.
The reason? Not only does wine have more alcohol than beer (especially when compared to those lighter ales), but with wine glass sizes being ginormous nowadays, it's easier to control your consumption by drinking from a bottle instead. Plus, beer isn't really all that bad for you, in moderation. It actually contains as many good-for-you ingredients as wine, including fiber and antioxidants, and is also known to help stave off osteoporosis.
Naturally, these findings don't mean that you should go out and do a keg stand. But, if you prefer an amber, blonde, or IPA to a glass of vino, rest-assured that you won't necessarily get a tummy to show for it.

Madness Monday: Emily Tarrant
Emily Tarrant was one of my earliest discoveries, and she was something like a "trading card" for me when I first started corresponding with other researchers in the fall of 2005. I don't mean that I used her like a trading card, but she was a piece of the Moore family puzzle that I had to contribute at that time so that I didn't totally feel like a beggar receiving alms when other researchers generously provide me with information on this family. I had found her name listed as the mother on the death certificate of my great-grandfather, Harlston Perrin Moore.
The problem is that since that time neither I nor anyone else has learned much about Emily Tarrant. We do not know her exact date of birth, her date of death (we believe it was between 1870 and 1880), or her parents' names. I suppose you could say that some progress was made when I discovered that Spencer Moore's family came from Greenville; since there was a large concentration of Tarrant families there, we are proceeding on the assumption that Emily came from one of those families. However, I have not seen any research that lists her as a daughter of any of those families. A third cousin has posted some inquiries in the relevant places, but so far no one has replied.
Most of the information that we have on Emily Tarrant Moore comes from four censuses. The 1840 census for W. S. Moore in Anderson County, South Carolina lists three females living with him, 2 of whom are between the ages of 20 and 30 and on between the ages of 10 and 15. Spencer's sisters Elizabeth and Susannah, who are shown living with Spencer and Emily on the 1850 and 1860 censuses, would be right for the older females, but 10 to15 is too young for Emily. There could be several explanations for this. (1) There could be a mistake on the census. (2) Spencer and Emily's oldest known child, Preston, was born in around 1843, so perhaps they were not yet married and the younger female is some other female relation. However, land records would indicate that Spencer moved to Anderson County from Greenville county in around 1836 and the most likely scenario would be that he and Emily were already married by that time (this is not a certainty, of course). (3) Perhaps only one of Spencer's sisters was living with them, Emily was the second female between 20 and 30, and the younger female was some other family relation.
On the 1850 Emily's age is given as 35. On the 1860 census her age is given as 31 (or perhaps 37; this census does not seem to give correct information for Emily or Spencer (37), who is double-counted over in Greenville next to his brother's widow and has a more probable age of 46 shown for him there). Finally, on the 1870 census, her age is shown as 57.
Emily is mentioned in Spencer's July 1865 will; Spencer died in 1871. My great-grandfather is shown as the owner of the family farm on an 1877 map of Anderson County and he moved to Texas in that year, so I believe that Emily probably died before this.
My approach to solving the mystery of Emily Tarrant will involve "sorting out" the Greenville Tarrants. I will also be working on "sorting out" the Greenville Moores, so this work will probably be done simultaneously.
Somewhat on the subject of Genealogy Prompt #17 (make a research task list), I have in mind the tasks involved in this research. However, these are not short-term tasks. Some involve ordering or finding materials and some will definitely require some on-site research in Greenville (something I am really looking forward to doing some day!). For both the Tarrants and the Moores I need to:
1. Record and correlate land transactions, noting and cross-indexing all the other names mentioned. Locate a very detailed map of Greenville County and plot the locations of the land on it.
2. Find and transcribe the wills for Greenville Tarrants and Moores as well as for families that appear to be closely associated with them. Continue to cross-index new names mentioned in these wills.
3. Continue my research for my "Descendants of Samuel Moore of Greenville, South Carolina" project, report on it in my blog, and post queries on the families involved in the various genealogy discussion boards. Post inquiries for the Tarrants.
4. Create as much of a Greenville Tarrant family tree as I can and identify "promising" families for Emily Tarrant.
I have already made a start on task #1 by purchasing a couple of Greenville land deed books and will be ordering some more. The Greenville Library has some online images of wills and land transaction indexes. Land records and wills have already provided some tantalizing clues and I will be pursuing these.
So why does Emily Tarrant drive me so crazy? I suppose it is because the answer to her mystery seems so close and yet so far away. I feel like one of those TV detectives who keeps looking at the available information but just cannot figure out how to put it together. And I am haunted by the thought that Emily may just be one of those women who leaves behind very few traces of her existence.

Greta, this is a great plan to have! You are on the right path! I highly recommend reviewing all the wills you can get your hands on.ReplyDelete
Also, some of the deeds will tell you familial relationships - and in some states it will say who the wife is and if she is relinquishing her right to dower.
Usually I use the census reports to map out all the families of a particular area, but it hard to do before the 1850 census report.
I look forward to hearing about your "A Ha" moment when you place Emily Tarrant!
OK, now I want to find Emily Tarrant. [lol] You are so organized and your action plan looks great. I've had to do some regional surname cluster searching to find some more clues before. It's amazing what you can find when you cast your net a little wider! Good luck @ let me know what happens...ReplyDelete
Thank you both for your kind comments and wishes. As soon as I get any kind of breakthrough on Emily I will definitely put up a post about it right away. It may be a while before I get down to SC, but that' on the top of my list of genealogy road trips.ReplyDelete

Published at Tuesday, May 14th, 2019 - 16:48:57 PM. Resume Template. By Adne Winter.
Your resume should not be longer than 1-2 pages: a longer resume might be boring. It is also crucial to read the resume a couple of times before submitting: this way you can correct the spelling and grammar mistakes. You should also make sure that your resume doesn't contain any negative comments.
Resume is being considered as a powerful tool to promote oneself for a particular job opportunity. In this document, you will write down your skills and experiences that are relevant to the targeted job which could lead the company to call you for an interview. The content along with its appearance are very crucial specifically if you would like to create an impressive one. Since there are various types of legal professionals based on specialties, you need to find out first what does the employer searches for before you start composing your curriculum vitae. In this manner, you can easily sum up your qualifications that make you the best suited lawyer for the position.

Happy 90th Birthday, Barbara Billingsley
When I checked her out in the 1930 census, I was surprised to find her age listed as 14. Thinking I may have found the wrong person, I checked some more records. The record for her 1959 marriage to William Mortensen indicates her birthdate is 1921, but her 1953 marriage to Roy Kellino has her born in 1918.
The clincher was the birth record for Barbara L. Combes on 22 Dec 1915. Imagine, the Beaver's mother lied about her age! By 7 years!!
Congratulations, Barbara, for reaching 90 and for fooling us all these years.

ok now that i have helped does anyone know who robert dunaway of the yardbirds is. He sang the song heart full of soul. He is my dad and because my mom left him before I was born, I never got to meet him. I have a picture of him somewhere and my mom is standing next to him in her prom dress. I would love to know where he is at and if he is alive or dead. Take care, Mc's page.

There is nothing at all anywhere that mentions Robert Dunaway as being a Yardbird or even singing H F O S.
Two of the most memorable songs which legendary British band The Yardbirds recorded in the mid-'60s, namely FOR YOUR LOVE and HEART FULL OF SOUL, written by singer/songwriter/producer Graham Gouldman.
The Yardbirds, whose line-up included Keith Relf, Paul Samwell-Smith, Eric Clapton, Chris Dreja & Jim McCarty, were signed by manager Giorgio Gomelsky to EMI's Columbia label in 1964. Disillusioned with the direction that the band appeared to be taking, Eric left in early '65, just days before their single of FOR YOUR LOVE made its debut on the British charts.
Get ahold of Randy Sparks in Mokelumne California. If anyone would know it would be him. He owned Whiskey a-go-go in los angeles and is the lead singer for The Christy Minstrels. He owns a bar there in Moke Hill. Call the town hall of the chamber to get you in touch with him.

Barbara Billingsley is my husband's grandmother. She is doing relatively well for her age.
I grew up dreaming to have a woman of June Cleaver's caliber as a mother figure, and low and behold, I married her grandson.
She is absolutely the same lady you saw in the show... charming, classy, beautiful and generous.
She does not have a space on Myspace... though there are several listed. She doesn't even use a computer.
Though is an icon, she absolutely has no idea what an impact she made on the youth of our age because she hasn't the ego of the Hollywood set today.
Thanks for your best wishes.

Hello, I watched Barbara on the Family Channel last night in a Christmas Movie. She was absolutely adorable! I loved the Leave It To Beaver Show, it had morals, decency, and just good clean fun. I am a 66 year old grandmother and my grandchildren love the show as well.
I wish Ms Billingsley a very Happy Birthday and may God Bless her with good health and much happiness.

Is it just me, or does a disproportionate amount of genealogical research get done late at night – maybe not the "wee, small hours of the night," but at the end of the day, when you've put in a day's worth (or two if you are a stay-at-home mother, work and take classes, etc.) of work and are tired and not at your sharpest? I'm sure there are people who get a significant amount research done during the day; this is probably the case with professional genealogists, but do they end up pushing their own family research back until after they've done their clients' work?
In my case, during the work week, it is a good day when I've been able to devote half an hour to research, and that often comes at about 10:00 at night. At 10:30, as my eyelids start to droop and I can tell my brain is getting sluggish, I reluctantly have to stop my research for the day. It occurs to me that the quality of my research, i.e. thoroughness, soundness of conclusions, and so forth, may be suffering. Is that why I have so many strange handwritten notes everywhere that I can't figure out the next day, let alone several weeks later?
Even on weekends, a good chunk of quality research time can be hard to find. That dust I can see on my bookshelves is calling to me. The cats want to play. My daughter needs a ride. Four hours of solid research feels like an awesome accomplishment.
And I really, really mean to finish this post, but, um, you know … it's getting late and, um, … zzzz

Late Night Genealogy
2 comments:
Most of my research occurs in the middle of the nights since I often cannot sleep - a hardcore insomniac who only requires 3 - 4 hours sleep a night. I find it is the best time for me since everyone else at home is asleep and I know I won't be interrupted.
Oh, Thomas, sometimes I wish I had insomnia! Well, not really, but just when I'm really ready to start searching I get so sleepy. Talk about being a pajama genealogist....ReplyDelete

Paper Manufacturer Cuts Costs, Streamlines IT with Microsoft Collaboration Solution
Albany International supplies the worldwide pulp and paper industry with technologically advanced structured materials and related services. In 2005, the company's messaging solution, based on IBM Lotus Domino Server and Lotus Notes, had grown to 62 server computers and had become difficult and costly to manage. Notes/Domino also didn't adequately support the centralized data center or broad collaboration strategy that Albany was planning to implement. In response, the company deployed a collaboration solution that includes Microsoft® Exchange Server, Office Live Meeting, and Live Communications Server, along with its existing deployment of Microsoft Office SharePoint® Portal Server. As a result, Albany has consolidated 62 servers into just 7, and it has reduced costs and simplified IT management. Employees also collaborate more effectively, improving their productivity.
Learn more about how Intrinsic and Microsoft partnered in helping Albany International maximize the return on their investment in the Microsoft Office System.

Many citizens of our great city are dedicated to helping others, without expectation of fame.
We are seeking candidates for the fifth annual New York Post Liberty Medals, and we'd like you to introduce us to the everyday New Yorkers who have enriched our lives with their big hearts, bravery and resourcefulness since July 2005.
This year's winners will be selected by a distinguished panel of New Yorkers, and the newly minted heroes will be honored at a reception on Sept. 17 at Yankee Stadium in the Great Moments Room.
Each winner will take home a symbol of our profound gratitude – a medal engraved with Lady Liberty's torch, created for The Post by renowned New York graphic artist Milton Glaser, who devised the iconic "I ? NY" logo.
We are again asking our readers to nominate our local heroes for the contributions they made to the city during the past year in 10 different categories.
These include Community, Lifetime Achievement and "Young Heart" – for the youth under 17 whose behavior "most impressively displayed adult resolve" – and one each for the city's educators, the city's Bravest and the city's Finest.
Tell us in 100 words or less why the person you nominate deserves a special spotlight, and send in as many nominations as you like.
Name living nominees whose day-to-day deeds and decency – not just heroic actions – have made our city so special.
The heroes we have honored so far include ordinary New Yorkers from all walks of life, including those who daily risk their lives on the front lines to keep us safe, and those who pitch in behind the scenes.
In the next few weeks, we'll introduce you to some of the nominees who made the lives of New Yorkers easier and more fruitful and give you a brief look at why they merit our praise.
Official nomination form.

Elephants have long memories.
So do Bisons.
Thursday night the Campbell Camels will be running through Allen Arena. The last time the Camels visited Allen Arena they beat the Lipscomb Bisons 95-91, the only home loss last season. The Bisons have lost only once this season at home, falling to ETSU.
Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson reminds his team of that fact often, especially this week as they prepare for the Camels.
The Camels like to run with the ball whenever possible. Jay Walton, an assistant basketball coach for the Bisons, provided a scouting report for those attending Wednesday's Fastbreak Club luncheon at the Hall of Fame Room in Allen Arena.
"They want to push the ball for 40 minutes get it down court as quick as they can," said Jay Walton, Lipscomb assistant basketball coach. "They don't really mind you scoring because the quicker you score, the quicker they can get the ball and then run it down court and shoot."
The Camels average 79.6 points per game, 16th in the nation. Freshman Jonathan Rodriguez is averaging a team-leading 16.4 points per game for Campbell.
The Bisons are second in the league in scoring defense (64.9 ppg) and third in defensive field goal percentage (41.7 pct).
"They run the fast break well of a made or missed basket," Walton said. "When we get a 12-point lead on somebody we generally want to take some time off the clock, make the other team guard a little bit and get a really good shot.
"Campbell doesn't care if they are up 15 or down 15 they are going to pus the ball. It is a game of runs against them. They are very balanced. They have six players averaging eight points or more per game and all of them have a green light to shoot."
Defensively, they may give up almost 80 points a game, last in the league. But Walton warns Lipscomb fans not to be deceived by that number.
"That is more of a product of how fast they want to play," Walton said. "They are not really focused on being a great half-court defensive team like we are.
"But you have to respect how hard they play on both ends of the floor. They will scrap. They will play tough. They will play as hard as anybody in the league for the entire game."
The Bisons are stressing making good shot selections and reducing turnovers,
Coach Scott Sanderson is also putting an extra emphasis on defense. The Bisons held A-Sun teams to below 40 percent in shooting from the field, going 9-1 in those games. This season they have only done it three times and they are 3-0 in those games.
"Our focus has been there," Sanderson said. "We talk about field goal defense every game. We have to hold our opponents to 33 percent the rest of the way to get to the ultimate goal of 39 percent for the entire year."
The Bisons have also done a good job of taking care of the basketball. They are 21st in the country in turnovers per game.
"That really helps us since we have not shot the ball particularly well this year," Sanderson said. "We are keeping stats on the bench so at every timeout each player knows what he is shooting from the field."
Lipscomb beat Campbell 65-64 in Buies Creek Jan. 20.
The Bisons are 15-10 overall, 9-5 in the Atlantic Sun. Campbell is 11-14, 6-9 in the conference. The Camels are 1-11 on the road and 1-6 on the road against A-Sun teams.

Ray appears on the mansion patio and upsets Dorian by saying he can't stay! Ray talks about Lola, and says how disturbed she is, leading Dorian to think that he's heading back to St. Ann's, but Ray confesses that Lola is being transferred to another facility far away from Llanview – and he's going with her. Ray professes his feelings for Dorian, says he's going to miss her like crazy, then blames himself for not seeing Lola go downhill, while pursuing her. Before Ray goes to pack Lola's things, he says they had something very special, even though it was only for a moment, and hopes that Dorian will always remember it. Though Ray tries to kiss Dorian goodbye, she pulls away and watching him go…
Ray Says Goodbye…
Dorian receives upsetting news, Tea makes the move to Todd's, and John and Blair mull over their marriage...
Back on the patio, alone, Dorian starts trashing the dinner table then breaks down in tears!
Todd and the boys bring Tea home to Todd's, leaving Jack to ask how long 'naked lady' is staying! After Todd scolds Jack, he assures Tea that she can stay as long as she wants. With the kids upstairs, Todd suggests that Tea tell the judge about Blair and John's fake marriage, leaving Tea furious and feeling as though that's the only reason that Todd has invited her to stay! Just as Todd assures Tea that that's not why he brought her there, Jack reappears and wants to know where to put Tea's bags – in the guestroom or Todd's room! Tea chooses the guestroom then warns Todd that she won't share his bed until he proves that she's the woman he wants. Though Todd convinces Tea that he's over Marty, when he claims that Blair hates him, Tea remembers the confession that she and Blair made then says, "Don't bet on it."
When Blair arrives at Rodi's to talk to John about their marriage, John says, "I'm sorry, I can't be your husband anymore." Though John promises to be there for her and the kids, they both can't share a 'real marriage' because of Marty – and Todd. John explains the situation with Marty and admits that they both want to see if they still have something between them. Blair is crushed, as John reminds her that it wasn't just Marty between them, but Todd too – and Blair agrees. Crying, Blair admits that she doesn't want to love Todd and that she wishes she could go back to hating Todd, when Marty was dead, then agrees to let John out of their marriage after she gets her kids back, which John is more than happy to stick around until that happens. Agreeing to 'no regrets', Blair says goodbye then leaves.
Over at The Palace, as Marty gets excited about Cole's graduation, Cole reminds her that he has to finish summer school – and doesn't want to walk alongside his class for the ceremony anyways, just to have everyone whisper about him being the guy who got Starr pregnant, the guy who put Matthew in a wheelchair. However, Marty convinces Cole to show everyone who the real 'Cole' is and to walk with his class during graduation. Cole changes the subject to Marty and asks if she has any plans to get John back, but Marty turns talk back to how proud she is of Cole.
Later, when there's a knock on her door, Marty thinks it's Cole returning, but it's John – holding a rose! John tells her that although he's going to be there for Blair and the kids, he wants to see what's between them – Marty and John kiss!
When Blair arrives at Todd's, she lets herself in and is upset when she sees Todd, Tea and the kids getting along like a happy little family. Blair sneaks back out the door then Todd glances in thought at the front door.
As Schuyler and Gigi toast to exposing Stacy, Shane enters the carriage house then asks if Gigi is planning a sleepover of her own! As Shane continues to lash out at Gigi, and be rude to Schuyler, Gigi banishes him upstairs with a grounding! Schuyler tries to make excuses for Shane's behavior, leading Gigi to bring up having to lie to Shane. "It breaks my heart for him to hate me for what I did," Gigi says. "Especially when I didn't do it." Little do they know, Shane is listening from the stairway! As Shane continues to listen, Gigi tells Schuyler, "I so wish I could tell him that Brody and I didn't sleep together."
After throwing water at each other at the loft, Stacy claims she's freezing and needs to clean up – then takes her shirt off! Though Stacy apologizes, Rex brings up her being a stripper – and says how she must be used to taking her clothes off – then Stacy agrees, puts on one of Rex's shirts, takes her bra off then hangs it on the fire escape with her shirt! Rex wonders if Stacy liked stripping, to which Stacy remembers being broke – and loved every minute of the money, until towards the end when she was pushing herself to go on stage. Stacy dreamed of being whisked away by prince charming then talk turns to Schuyler, who Stacy says wasn't exactly what she was looking for. As Stacy talks about wanting to be a real dancer, she gets the idea of maybe becoming an instructor, leading Rex to remember the foxtrot lessons that he and Adriana took – and leading Stacy to put her hand on Rex's and say, "Maybe you didn't have the right partner." As they dance, Rex offers Ultra Violet to Stacy – to use during the afternoon if she wants to teach dance lessons. Before Rex goes to bed, Stacy says, "Thanks for everything," then climbs into bed herself – and neither of them realize that Shane has left a message, saying, "Dad, I need to talk to you."
