Universities need a data science degree, and these ingredients go into making it.
No data science degree exists in the U.S. And that's a problem, because huge amounts of real-time data in all sectors need to be analyzed and acted on.
But this process currently passes through five people with specialized skill sets in different departments. And it takes weeks, if not months to do. Oftentimes, the market has changed by then, so the data's not even relevant.
Companies need one graduate who can do it all quickly: extract data, create tables for analysis, run the analysis, generate results and make decisions on those results. They're currently training these people in-house because universities aren't providing training.
However, in the long term, universities need to produce graduates who can fill these positions, said Jennifer Lewis Priestley, an associate professor of statistics and director of the Center for Statistics and Analytical Services at Kennesaw State University. She recommends three key ingredients to a data science degree and shares the reasons why no one's put them together.
The all-star data scientist needs knowledge in at least four areas: mathematics, computer science, statistics and a content discipline. If someone wants to study data science, they would have to cross at least two colleges within a university, if not three.
"Universities just don't do a very good job with cross-discipline education," Priestley said.
And they don't do a good job for a number of reasons, one of them being that professors don't have knowledge of multiple disciplines. Computer science professors know their subject; they don't know statistics. An expert in biology knows neither computer science nor statistics.
"If you have a PhD in something, you've gone very deep but very narrow," Priestley said. "And so when we talk about these cross-functional degrees, it's difficult to find professors — academics — who can move in any kind of fluid way across all of these different disciplines."
This presents a challenge for universities to be relevant in this area. A degree program in data science requires the right people from each discipline who can work together, or some professors who know each of these subjects. And they're not easy to find. Degree programs that tend to be more responsive to market needs will be better positioned to be relevant in data science education, she said.
This degree should be on the graduate level. Students need a knowledge base to start with in at least one of the four disciplines. Then they can learn the others from there.
Young students can't study all four things at once at an undergraduate level because they don't have the absorptive capacity to understand all the concepts, Priestley said. If students are interested in studying any of these topics eventually, she suggests that they get an undergraduate degree in math.
The path to a math degree forces students to think differently and problem solve in a structural, linear way. That is a foundational skill in computer programming: identifying a problem, determining how to translate that problem into an equation, and using the equation tools to solve a problem.
Data science is rich for research right now. Our world is currently swimming in data because it's cheap and easy to capture. But the hard part is translating that data into meaningful information that can be acted upon.
For example, Southern Company oversees energy grids and sees real-time updates every second. Millions of users throughout its area frequently generate energy usage numbers that are being captured. And the company has to figure out how to translate that data into meaningful information.
"These are new problems, these are new challenges that nobody knows what the best practice is," Priestly said.
Someone who thinks across disciplines has an enormous opportunity to research and present papers that could solve problems. Both the public and private sectors are facing the issues of different kinds of data -- and more data overall.
"If the private sector is trying to solve these problems, it seems like the public sector should be working even harder to solve the problem since they're supposed to be servicing the needs of the private sector," Priestly said.

Called the "Cuban Gershwin" composer and pianist, Ernesto Lecuona, was without a doubt the greatest Cuban musician of his time. His career spanned seven decades during which time he wrote more than 600 compositions for piano and orchestra, in addition to music for theater and films. His distinctive Latin style and Afro-Cuban rhythms influenced many other composers, including George Gershwin and Claude Debussy, and his work continues to be a driving force in Latin music today.
Ernesto Lecuona was born in a small village across the bay from Havana Cuba in 1895. His sister began teaching him to play the piano when he was three. He continued his study at the Conservatorio Peyrellade with Antonio Saaverda and also with Joaquin Nin. At 17 he graduated from the National Conservatory of Havana with a gold medal in performance.
In 1916 Lecuona performed outside his country for the first time, and even though he maintained ties to Cuba for many years, his initial performance in New York City paved the way for his increasing presence in the United States. After Fidel Castro rose to power in 1959, Lecuona moved to Florida permanently the following year.
During his seventy year career Lecuona was a prolific composer. He wrote almost 200 pieces for piano, over 30 orchestral scores, five ballets, and 11 film scores. In addition, he wrote many major pop songs including Malagueña, Siboney, Always in My Heart, and Andalucia. His score for the 1942 Warner Brothers film Always in My Heart was nominated for an Academy Award.
In addition to performing and composing, Lecuona was the co-founder of the Havana Symphony Orchestra, the Lecuona Cuban Boys Band and La Orquesta de la Habana.
By integrating new rhythms and traditional melodys in combination with elegant late-Romantic composition, Ernesto Lecuona redefined Latin music in the first half of the 20th century. Because of his wide ranging talents, he is admired as a virtuoso pianist and innovative composer.

WTRF 7 News Sports Weather – Wheeling Steubenville
One of the two Steubenville (Ohio) football players convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl at a party two years ago is back on the football team, according to WTRF-TV.
Ma'lik Richmond, a wide receiver who served a one-year sentence in a juvenile facility after a nationally watched trial, was allowed to return even though he must register as a sex offender for 20 years. He is shown with the other seniors in a team photo on the Big Red fan site.
The other player convicted and ringleader of the attacks, quarterback Trent Mays, remains in detention. The victim graduated from a neighboring high school in June.
Richmond's return has already prompted some calls for the resignation of longtime coach Reno Saccoccia and sarcastic outrage about the priorities in the football-obsessed town.
So what that a young woman's life is ruined? What matters is that her rapist is given another shot at football. http://t.co/MuM1NkS0uV

On a cold Monday morning after a snowstorm, you hop into your car and drive off to work. The engine's a bit sluggish today, but you shrug at the stop sign before moving on -- it usually is during the winter, but the old heap's never let you down, right? What could possibly go wrong?
Before you know it, you're sliding over an ice patch. You test the brakes, but this only makes it worse. Then -- slam! -- you hit a snow bank, covering your car with snow and creating your own makeshift igloo. You try to start the engine again after it stalled, but it looks like the battery is dead. After several minutes of trying to force the door open, a quick look in your backseat lets you know you're stuck in the worst way. No food, no gloves, no boots, no blankets.
Although the chances of this terrible chain of events ever happening are slim, many of the problems described above can give you a headache during the cold months if you don't properly winterize your car. Just as it's necessary for us to put on a coat, hat and gloves in cold weather, our cars need a similar kind of attention if they're going to function at their best potential.
In this article, we lay out the top 10 tips for getting your car through the winter and staying safe out there during tough road conditions. What should you keep in the car with you? What parts should I check before driving? How important is gas and oil during the winter? Is there anything I can do with the tires? For answers to all these questions and more, read the following pages.
Tip 10: Keep an Emergency Kit Inside Your Car
The simplest thing you can do to combat the cold weather is to keep a few essential supplies and tools with you as you drive. You'll obviously want a spare tire and the tools to change out a flat, but it's a good idea to keep some extra material in the trunk as well. Bottles of engine oil, washer fluid and coolant all come in handy, and we'll touch on those in greater detail later on. An ice scraper is a necessity, since you and your car won't be going anywhere with frozen snow blocking your view.
Flashlights and flares are helpful if you're stuck on the road late at night when visibility levels are low. Even if you're wearing a coat, an extra pair of gloves, boots or even a blanket can keep you warm and dry if your heating unit isn't working properly.
Tip 9: Make Sure Your 4-Wheel Drive Works
Unless you go off-roading all year long, chances are if you own an SUV you don't use your four-wheel drive (4WD) during the summer. That's why it's important to make sure everything is working correctly before the winter starts, even if 4WD doesn't take too much maintenance. A functioning system can improve tire traction on snow and ice, decreasing the possibility of getting stuck. 4WD varies depending on the vehicle, so check the owner's manual for the best environment in which to use it and how to engage the system.
Remember, having a 4WD system doesn't mean you can drive figure eights around icy parking lots or drive faster than you normally would in a regular car. 4WD can improve your SUV's traction on snow and ice from a stationary position, but it doesn't make your tires grip the pavement any better when you brake.
Tip 8: Check Your Car's Belts and Hoses
The belts and hoses under your car's hood are typically checked when the car is due for a tune-up (usually every 30,000 miles). Even if you're not getting a tune-up this winter, it doesn't hurt to have a mechanic take a look at how everything is holding up around your engine. Cold temperatures can weaken belts and hoses, and if something snaps or breaks while you're out on the road, a tow truck will be the only way to get moving again.
Tip 7: Replace Windshield Wipers and Wiper Fluid
Imagine driving down the road at night, and all of a sudden a storm of freezing rain passes over, beating your windshield with sheets of water. You click your wipers on so you can see better, but nothing works -- pieces of rubber flap uselessly against the glass, and the blades' scraping doesn't make the view outside any clearer.
Low visibility can make driving in cold weather extremely dangerous, so it's important to make sure the wiper blades are up to par. Your wiper blades are made out of rubber, and with time they'll crack, split and deteriorate. It's suggested that you replace your windshield wipers every six to 12 months. Keeping your wiper fluid filled up is also a plus, as fluid can assist in breaking up snow and ice on the windshield.
The countdown continues on the next page with more winterizing tips.
Tip 6: Check Your Defrosting and Heating Units
When our windshields fog up in the winter, it's because moisture from inside the car condenses on the glass and makes it very difficult to see. Water vapor coming in from an open window -- or even from your own breathing -- can fog up a window. Defrosters solve this problem by blowing warm, dry air over the glass. If you're sure your defroster unit is functioning properly but there's still a problem with too much fogging, have your car checked for air leaks around the doors and windows bringing in extra moisture.
It's also important to stay warm and comfortable while driving, since shivering makes it difficult to steer or pay attention to the road. If your heater isn't working, you may have a faulty heater coil. Although heater coils are expensive to replace, it will be worth it during cold winter mornings if you don't want to freeze behind the wheel.
Tip 5: Keep Your Fuel Tank Full
Do you ever let your gas tank run on fumes until the very last moment, only to fill it up with about $15 worth of gas? Although it's never a great idea to do this any time of the year because you run the risk of getting stranded, the damage you might inflict on your car with a near-empty tank during winter is much worse. Cold and constantly shifting temperatures can cause condensation to form on the walls of a gas tank in the red, and soon water will drip down and into the gas. It will eventually sink to the bottom, since water is heavier than gas, which is bad news -- if water finds its way into the fuel lines, it will freeze up, blocking any flow of gas to the engine and effectively halting your travel plans. Any repairs that have to be made can be costly, too, so despite high gas prices, keeping your tank full will help both your car and your wallet.
Tip 4: Put in the Right Amount of Antifreeze
Antifreeze protects your engine from both freezing in cold weather and heating up on hot days, and it also cuts back on corrosion. It's important to keep equal parts antifreeze and water in your radiator -- a 50:50 ratio is considered the norm and will keep fluids from freezing at temperatures as low as -34 degrees Fahrenheit. Fortunately, you won't have to stand over your engine with a measuring cup -- you can buy pre-mixed bottles of antifreeze and water at gas stations. If you don't pay attention to the amount of antifreeze, the coolant can freeze, and the engine will get extremely hot. Chances are you'll blow a gasket or two, and the cost of replacing them with labor can be expensive.
For the top three of the most important tips for winterizing your vehicle, read the next pages.
Tip 3: Check Your Oil and Oil Viscosity
Oil lubricates the metal surfaces of your engine and stops them from grinding together and causing a lot of damage. The viscosity -- or thickness -- of the oil greatly affects your engine's performance. If the oil is too thick, it will flow too slowly between parts and your engine will get too hot. In the winter time, cold temperatures cause oil to thicken, but you can overcome this problem by filling your engine with an oil of a lower viscosity. Your owner's manual should tell you the ideal type of oil you should use, and it also might specifically suggest a thinner oil type depending on the season. Remember, most technicians recommend that you change your oil every 3,000 miles or once every three months.
Tip 2: Check Your Battery
Car batteries last for about three to five years, so it's best to keep track of how old yours is. If it's time to get a new one, you can replace it in the fall when batteries typically go on sale. Winter months are tough on your engine and cause it to work harder, and this puts more pressure on the battery.
If your battery isn't that old, it's still good to take a look and make sure nothing's wrong. Check the battery cables and clamps for fraying or corrosion. If there's a white, powdery substance around the clamps, that's corrosion from battery acid -- you can clean it off easily with baking soda, water and a toothbrush. Your battery is also filled with fluid, so make sure it has enough inside. Most batteries have caps on top, and you can check the level by removing the caps. If it's low, fill the holes with distilled water, being careful not to fill past the bottom of the cap.
Tip 1: Check Your Tire Pressure and Consider Snow Tires
Wet or icy roads can cause dangerous accidents in the winter, so it's very important to make sure your tires are equipped to handle adverse weather conditions. If you choose to use regular tires on your car, check the air pressure on each tire. Deflated tires close up the tread and significantly decrease traction, increasing the likelihood of sliding on icy patches. Many gas stations have the tools available for you to check tire pressure, and it costs nothing or next to nothing to fill your tires with the right amount of air -- again, the owner's manual should list the suggested pounds per square inch. Here are some other tire tips and suggestions:
- Some people also keep salt in their cars -- if your car is stuck in snow or on ice, sprinkling salt in front of your tires can offer some more traction and get things moving.
- If you ever find yourself skidding on an icy road, don't put on the brakes, even if your instincts tell you to do so. Instead, take your foot off of the accelerator and guide your car to safety by turning the wheel in the opposite direction you're skidding.
- If you live in an area that gets hit particularly hard in the wintertime, purchasing snow or winter tires and replacing regular tires can be helpful, as they offer improved traction, braking and control.

Comprehensive care benefits transplant patient and her family
Teen's life renewed with new kidney
Working hard to address such daunting needs, the UC Davis Transplant Center has become one of the nation's top sites for kidney transplantation. Its program, which received an excellence award in 2012 from the independent firm HealthGrades for superior clinical outcomes, is now the fourth-largest program of its kind in the nation.
The most recent statistics from the National Kidney Foundation indicate that there are more than 118,000 people waiting for lifesaving organ transplants around the country. A vast majority of those individuals are in need of new kidneys. In an 11-county region surrounding UC Davis Medical Center and covered by the organ donor network Sierra Donor Services, more than a thousand people now await lifesaving transplants for heart, liver, lung, kidney, intestine and pancreas. Locally and nationally the need for organs far exceeds the number of donations.
The center offered the type of comprehensive expertise that young Berenice Jasso needed several years ago when a challenging illness became life-threatening and, ultimately, could only be cured with a new kidney. For nearly two years, the then-13 year old and her family lived in fear that at any moment Berenice could lapse into convulsions, wake up blind, fall into a coma or lose her memory because of the illness.
Lavjay Butani, a UC Davis specialist in pediatric kidney disease, helped identify Berenice's condition and determined that she needed a transplant. Fortunately, in Berenice's case, a donor was easily found. Her mother, Maria, turned out to be a perfect match and able to donate one of her kidneys.
Watch a video story of Berenice Jasso's illness and her miracle recovery.
For more than a decade, UC Davis has been making significant strides in transplantation, especially with living donors like Berenice's mother. It is one of the select hospitals in the nation that offers the minimally invasive surgical procedure known as the single-port nephrectomy. The technique enables surgeons to remove a donor kidney through a tiny incision that leaves a barely noticeable scar and usually offers shorter recovery times for patients. In recent years, the transplant team also has advanced therapies in desensitization and paired-donor exchanges, which have made it possible to transplant kidneys from living donors who previously would have been incompatible.
While innovation and experience distinguish the transplant program and its professional team, the benefit to those in need of a new organ transplant is perhaps best reflected by consistently high patient satisfaction and patient outcomes. Combined with the shortest average wait times in Northern California and significantly better-than-expected waitlist mortality, transplant recipients like Berenice Jasso are literally living proof of the commitment to excellence at the UC Davis Transplant Center.

"Pastry Paris: In Paris, Everything Looks Like Dessert"
Little Bookroom, $19.95
This book takes its subtitle literally because, according to author and graphic designer Susan Hochbaum, everything in Paris does indeed look like dessert. Maybe part of the reason is that a patisserie seems to be on every city block and pastries are sold all day "to people who never get fat."
Hochbaum also sees pastries everywhere. In this quirky and delightful book, she matches photographs of nearly 100 pastries with their equivalent (to her) settings.
Thus the elongated shape of an eclair resembles the shape of a Metro station sign; the mille-feuille (called "Napoleon" in the U.S.), a puff pastry with white icing, approximates the shape of the Sacre-Coeur church in Montmartre; and, perhaps most ingeniously, the humps of two brioches are reminiscent of Claude Monet's famous painting, "Haystacks." Two full pages are devoted to the delicate and colorful French sweet the macaron — 28 varieties, including pistachio and pear/caramel.
A delicious, startling and inventively humorous collection of architectural confections.
"The Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture: Travel Edition"
Phaidon, $24.95
This travel edition of Phaidon's atlas to world architecture briefly describes the best works of contemporary architecture constructed around the world since January 2000, including the work of some 670 architects from 90 countries. All the big names and firms are represented here, as are those less known to the general public. It features more than 1,000 office buildings, private houses, schools, art galleries, libraries, museums, railway stations and other structures. The portable guide divides the world into six color-coded regions and contains numerous maps. Each entry contains a brief description, a photograph of the structure, the architect's name, the building's name and, when available, its address.
Examples include the National Stadium (commonly referred to as the bird's nest) in Beijing, built for the 2008 Summer Olympics; the striking cantilevered roof of the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff; the undulating Footbridge Simone-de-Beauvoir in Paris; and many more.
This is a quick and marvelous introduction to contemporary examples of world architecture and a must for travelers fond of architecture.

My serious interest in photography began in 1987 with the birth of my first daughter. I tried to get good pictures of her with my point and shoot camera with no good results. In an effort to not let her grow up without documenting it through images, I purchased my first 35mm SLR film camera. I became obsessed about learning all I could about photography through self study and then got hired by a portrait photography company and acquired a good amount of on the job training and experience. In 1989-1990 I took a course in photography to further my learning. Over the years I have done many personal projects, during the 90's I found another interest in hand retouching photographic prints. Nowadays I work with 100% digital and of course have learned how to work in the "digital darkroom".

One of the big questions every time people have a night out and take the car is how much can they safely drink without being over the legal alcohol consumption limit or a danger to other road users. Well this could all start to become a lot clearer with the Alcohoot smartphone breathalyzer.
The Alcohoot is the worlds first smartphone breathalyzer, it connects to your iPhone using Bluetooth and when paired will automatically launch the Alcohoot's companion app. You simply blow into a tube and the information will be transferred to your iPhone. It will then calculate your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) based on your sex, age, weight and height. The Alcohoot has been built to conform with all relevant FDA and Department of Transportation requirements. If you are over the limit it can then call you a cab, search for a restaurant or phone a friend to come and get you.
You should never drink and drive, ever. We understand that it isn't ideal to carry around a heavy, bulky, unattractive breath tester, that's why we invented Alcohoot – a small, sleek, innovative add-on for your smartphone that turns it into an accurate breath alcohol tester. Just connect it, take a breath test, take it off. Simple as that.
With the Alcohoot app you can find nearby restaurants that are open with zero hassle. Go rest and get some food and water in your belly – it will give your body time to digest the alcohol and the food will help absorb it more quickly.
Drunk driving kills over 10,000 people each year in the United States. We are here to do something about it.
The Alcohoot should be available this summer and the price is rumored to be around $70; which is reasonable enough if it can save lives and your drivers license. Of course we doubt that this would stand up in court if after using it you do decide to drive home but still get pulled over and fail a Police test; this is still a bit of a gray area and would probably be decided by a blood test. The safest and most fool proof way to avoid this of course, is to avoid alcohol completely when driving. That would make much more sense!

Southern California thrashers ATTACKHEAD have revealed the artwork and the track-listing for their new album "Voices in the Dark – Second Attack". The album will be released January 25, 2011 via Twisted Hillbilly Records.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Mark Chapman had the following to say about the new release from ATTACKHEAD:
"We had a great time recording the CD back in Tennessee. We wanted to create a CD that was pure old school thrash reminiscent of the 80's era. If you are looking for some straight forward thrash then this is the CD for you."
1) Intro
2) Voices in the Dark
3) Infected
4) Rebirth
5) Make Me Suffer
6) Lead the Blind
7) Posessed
8) Blame
9) Dark Ritual
10) Waste of Life
11) Tazer
When the powerhouse Southern California based thrash metal band ATTACKHEAD comprised of Mark Chapman (lead vocals, lead guitar), George Portoulas (lead guitar, backing vocals), Steve Cordero (drums) and Eddie "Munster" Ellis (bass, backing vocals), put out the original version of "Voices in the Dark" back in February 2008, its songs received airplay on over 50 terrestrial and Internet stations worldwide, from the UK, Canada, Belgium and Greece to Mexico, Germany and Argentina. Attackhead's intense playing and dark themes have led to sponsorships by Spider Energy Drink, Tsunami Cables, Coffin Case, Fernandes Guitars and Jim Dunlop. Attackhead won Best Artist at the 2010 Street Official Music Awards held in Upland, CA.
Wider distribution of "Voices in the Dark" was a problem, however, until Knoxville, Tennessee based Twisted Hillbilly Records took an interest and funded a higher budget re-recorded version with two new tracks and all new artwork and packaging. Twisted Hillbilly Records is an offshoot of the Twisted Hillbilly magazine series' metal edition. When the magazine did a short but positive review of the original Voices in the Dark, Chapman began talking to label owner Moe Hillbilly, who offered to sign the band for a brand new recording. ATTACKHEAD opted first to take a better crack at the one they had. Working with a crew of veteran engineers, the band retreated to a studio cabin in the woods and emerged with an explosive CD, which fits perfectly in the groove alongside recent hit projects by legends like Testament, Slayer and Megadeth. The band's trademark is the fiery interplay and seamless mix between the electric guitars of Chapman and Portoulas, the fast hands of drummer Steve Cordero and the crushing grooves of bassist Eddie "Munster" Ellis.
Chapman, the only original member still with the band, formed ATTACKHEAD in Orange County, California in late 2002 with a simple mission to "play good, solid, tight music and have a good time doing it". That mission has been fulfilled working with various members, including, at one point a female singer (who fronted ATTACKHEAD on their 2004 album "Destruction and Pain"). ATTACKHEAD has figured out a very unique approach to playing live gigs over the past few years. Rather than continue playing small local clubs to 20-30 friends, ATTACKHEAD has achieved great success playing military shows throughout the Western United States.
Over the past year, ATTACKHEAD has performed numerous times at Ft. Irwin National Training Center, U.S. Naval base, Ventura County, the Marine Base at 29 Palms and the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, AZ, in addition to the Ontario, CA USO. Aside from giving back to the troops, ATTACKHEAD reaches hundreds of men and women ages 18-25 who will no doubt share the good news of the group with their fellow servicemen and women at their next posts. They are supporters of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the Wounded Warrior Project, as well as the Melanoma Research Foundation, and pass out pamphlets for these organizations at their shows.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is searching a Westside area for a missing 75-year-old man.
The JSO dive team was called to a pond in the 7800 block of Gregory Drive near Oak Hill Nazarene Church about 11:30 a.m. Monday in connection with the disappearance of Gustafo Loli.
Police were also searching the woods for any clues. They were also passing out flyers in hopes of getting some answers.
Loli was last seen on foot leaving his home on Foxdale Drive at 3:30 p.m. Friday and has not been seen nor heard from since.
"He just waked away and we can't find him," said Loli's son, Omar.
He said his father was last seen feeding ducks in his backyard. A short time later, he was gone.
"My mom, my sister, and I, I can't sleep actually," Omar said. "It's very hard to sleep right now. Hopefully, everything turns out alright."
Police said Loli moved to Jacksonville from New York with his family just one month ago, and he likely doesn't know his way around.
"He does not speak English. Spanish only," said JSO Lt. Rob Schoonover. "That's going to be another hindrance if he's trying to ask for help. He's going to have an issue there. Anyone who encounters this individual please keep that in mind."
According to JSO, Loli is an insulin dependent diabetic and has been diagnosed in the late stages of dementia.
Loli was last seen wearing a white shirt, purple pajama pants and black sandals. At this time, deputies said there is no foul play suspected.
His family prays that someone who knows something will come forward, and they hope Gustavo will come home safely.
"I am asking for everybody's help in bringing good news and try to help me with my father please," Omar said.
Anyone who has any information in regards to the whereabouts of Loli is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim is suggesting that workers shift to a three-day work week. The catch: He would require 11-hour work days and workers to stay on the job until age 70 or 75.
The Financial Times reported that in a speech at a conference in Paraguay, Slim advocated a radical change in the typical five-day work week.
"People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week — perhaps 11 hours a day," the paper quotes him as saying.
The paper said that workers at Telmex, the telecom company that has made him the world's second richest man by some estimates, now can retire before they are 50 years old in some cases.
But it reported that those eligible for such early retirement are given the option of a four-day work week at full pay upon reaching retirement age.
"With three work days a week, we would have more time to relax; for quality of life," Slim was quoted as saying. "Having four days [off] would be very important to generate new entertainment activities and other ways of being occupied."
For U.S. workers, the 40-hour,. five-day work week became the standard in 1938. Despite gains in productivity and predictions of a significantly shorter work week that would follow, it has remained the standard for more than 75 years.

DTP Connectivity Ganymede Project Plan: First Draft
← Back to DTP Ganymede Project Plan
DTP Connectivity Ganymede
Beside each entry, we will put the following acronyms:
- MH for Must Have
- LTH for Like To Have
For Ganymede, we will focus on Must Have (MH) items before Like to Have (LTH) items.
High-Level Summary
Things to Consider...
1) Ability to pre-populate a connection UI with driver definitions. (This already exists with the ability to auto-create a default instance of a particular driver template at startup.) (MH) (BZ entry: 202641[1])
2) Provide common user interface for selecting existing connection profiles. Features of this UI should include filtering of the existing connections based on an arbitrary set of attributes and it should display an extensible set of properties for the selected connection. (This already partly exists with the ability to host the DSE on a dialog page/composite/wizard/property/preference page where necessary.) (MH) (BZ entry: 202643[2])
Here is the UI from WTP to use as a starting point:
3) Provide best-practices for prompting users when to create new profiles, select existing profiles, and prompt the user for authentication information. Perhaps create code sample to help demonstrate best practices. (MH) (BZ entry: 202644 [3])
4) Ability to inject from a runtime instance of a profile at startup to populate a profile in the DSE. This may be supported already with the repository code. (MH) (BZ entry: 202647[4])
5) Filtering needs to become much more extensible and flexible. Perhaps split out catalog-loader (SQL-level) filtering from client-level (viewer-level) filtering. Also provide the capability to use client-level filtering by default, if a db-specific extension did not implement catalog-loader filtering. (MH) (BZ entries: 200140[5], 177272[6], 199689[7])
6) Provide extensible encryption capabilities for exporting profiles. Perhaps a new extension point to register an encryption method. Need to research different encryption methods. (LTH) (BZ entry: 202648 [8])
Possibly add a new extension point that points to a class and provides a name and description for the encryption provider. The encryption provider (IProfileEncryptionProvider) would implement two methods (similar to BIRT's IEncryptionHelper) -
public String encrypt ( String input ); public String decrypt ( String output );
The current encryption/decryption method will be moved to this extension point and used as the default method.
When exporting via the Export dialog, the user can select via a drop-down list from the list of available encryption providers (or the drop-down will be disabled if only the default is available).
When importing, the Import routine will look at the file and (somehow) determine which encryption provider was used and decrypt accordingly or pop up a message indicating that the encryption method is not available.
We will need to change the internal ConnectionProfileMgmt class (that does the saves and loads of profiles) so it would take one of these encryption providers to handle encrypting and decrypting the streams.
7) Provide plug-in wizards to aid driver template and connection profile development. (MH) (BZ entries: 151738[9])
8) Focus on sorting and see if we can come up with ways to make that work for various levels of the DSE within the Platform's Common Navigator Framework (see if any changes are upcoming for Ganymede) (LTH) (BZ entries: 150592[10])
9) Connection timeout such that connections in the DSE will be closed if unused for a certain amount of time specified in a preference page. This is a WTP feature that needs to be ported to DTP. It will probably need to be redesigned as the DSE in DTP is not exclusive to database connections and it may not make sense to timeout connections to other types of servers. (MH) (BZ entry: 202653[11])
Perhaps look at it so that each individual server type implements an extension point (perhaps an extension on the CP extension point), listens in a server-specific way for disconnects, and then triggers a reconnect. It will be difficult to handle in the generic case.
Here is the UI from WTP to use as a starting point:
10) Provide enablement support for JNDI connections for getting a pooled JDBC connection through a JNDI service. Check out Apache Tomcat 5.5.x and BEA WebLogic 8.1 as examples. Both are fairly simple to use and configure. However, Tomcat does not support client-side access, which we will need in the DSE. (LTH) (BZ entries: 202640[12])
11) Clean up internal Discourage Access warnings in Connectivity. (MH) (BZ entries: 201125 [13], 201126 [14], 201127 [15], 201136 [16])
-------------------Bugs for Consideration (Start)-----------
12) Connection profile with commas in its driver files names will fail (LTH) (BZ 202338[17])
13) Default DB Location should be platform specific (LTH) (BZ 201682 [18])
14) Need a way to access connection information for table in DSE (MH) (BZ 198000 [19])
15) Usability items for Driver Managment/Editing (LTH) (BZ 164534 [20])
16) Display properties for SQL objects when selected in DSE (LTH) (BZ 154169 [21])
17) Detect cp name collision only within repository (MH) (BZ 200774 [22])
18) Connection is already closed when aboutToClose() is calling (MH) (BZ 199509 [23])
19) General tabbed properties page issue (MH) (BZ 195301 [24]) and Need ability to register custom property source providers based on provider ID (BZ 193869 [25])
20) Need ability to repurpose DSE content/actions for other viewers (MH) (BZ 194859 [26])
21) Preference pages inconsistent (MH) (BZ 193791 [27])
22) org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.generic has dependency to UI (MH) (BZ 192828 [28])
23) Need mechanism for supporting migration of driver definitions (MH) (BZ 184807 [29])
-------------(End) Bugs for Consideration---------------
24) Refactor Generic JDBC Connection profile plug-ins so that the Generic JDBC Connection profile can be excluded from the new connection wizard by adopters. (MH) (BZ entry: 203837 [30])
25) The filtering support should handle multiple predicates that are ANDed together so that more complex filters can be specified. (LTH) (BZ Entry: 203834 [31])
26) There needs to be a strict separation between plug-ins with UI dependencies and non-UI dependencies. Adopters have the need to access core functionality such as connection profiles, driver templates, connection management, DDL generators and catalog loaders from command-line tooling or without the UI components installed in the product. Some of the use-cases include programmatically creating a connection to a database, browsing the catalog metadata, generating DDL and executing the DDL. As a connectivity requirement, it is specifically focused on the generic JDBC and Derby plug-ins, however, it also has implications in the enablement project. (MH) 203158
27) The version decoration that appears on the connection nodes in the DSE should allow vendors to format product and version information in a format that is meaningful to the vendor's customers. The current three-part version number is too restrictive and should be optional. (MH) (BZ entry: 203829 [32])
28) There needs to be a connection profile wizard that can provide different UIs for different driver definitions and a way to contribute new driver definition specific UIs through an extension point.(MH) (BZ entry: 204620 [33])
29) The generate DDL wizard should allow the user the option to execute the DDL against a database connection. The implementation will utilize the existing connection UI from #2 above. (MH) (BZ entry: 204748 [34])
30) There needs to be way to connect the managed connection in a connection profile that does not display the connection error but instead returns it programmically so that the invoker can decide how to handle it. Basically, a method like IConnectionProfile.createConnection() that works on the managed connection. (MH) (BZ entry: 205250 [35])
Open Data Access (ODA)
1) Integrates with Database (JDBC) Connection Profile category (MH) Bugzilla 204343
- The ODA framework currently integrates with the Connection Profile framework to provide an uniform way for connectivity with heterogenous data sources. It does not directly integrate with the Database (JDBC) profile category. This integration project aims to provide out-of-box support of the DTP JDBC connection profile types, and to enable an ODA-compliant consumer application to utilize the specialized RDBMS support available in the Enablement projects.
2) Initial Integration with the SQL Query Builder and SQL Query Model (MH) Bugzilla 204344
- The SQL Query Builder planned in Ganymede is a powerful tool that allows users the freedom to create queries to access a relational data source without detail knowledge of the SQL syntax. The same tool also provides the option to edit a SQL query text directly. Any editing made in either the textual or graphical pane would be automatically reflected in the other.
- This integration project plans to provide ODA adapters to the the SQL Query Builder and SQL Query Model. With the adapters, an ODA-compliant consumer application can consume the builder, as well as other custom ODA providers, through the same ODA API.
3) Support for Multi-dimensional Result Sets (LTH) Bugzilla 204345
- The ODA framework currently provides support for a consumer application to retrieve and process data in the form of rows and columns. An ODA data provider for a multi-dimensional data source would have to flatten its data into a tabular result set. That works well for those ODA-compliant consumer applications that want to consume tabular data sets. However, there are other types of applications, such as OLAP tools, that would prefer to consume data in a multi-dimensional result set. This project aims to extend the ODA API to provide design-time and runtime support of multi-dimensional result sets.

Awake before the fishermen of Collioure (I know because I went down to the wharf to see if I could watch them prep for the day, before hitting the road).
I arrive before the airport opens in Perpignan
Thunderstorms at Orly delay departure from Perpignan, chopping away at Orly-CDG transfer opportunity
20E bribe to cabby to get me to CDG before noon works.
Roll into CSG just in time for scores of soldiers (or some such with assault rifles) to compress 10 check-in gates into two because, as one airport employee explains, "We have bomb, here, msr."
Nobody gives a shit. everybody pushing to get to a kiosk to check in. Bad info is flying all over the place. kiosks are smoking and going dark, then BANG!… not BOOM… some poor twat has just had all his traveling worldlies (or the appalling sex toys he was afraid to reveal to security) that he'd left unattended detonated under a heap of lead blankets and a ballistic plastic blast shield.
Crown applauds lustily, goes back to dog-eat-doggery of airport check-in.
Dressed smart in jacket and proper shirt, I haughtily wave my passport and skip past the functionary at the first class/VIP security line. She calls out "Are you with them?" gesturing to three similarly attired travelers, I nod, of course, silly.
I arrive at The gate to discover, Air France has overbooked flight 018 to Newark and me (and the exit row seat I've human engineered) have been put on stand-by list until a late-arriving connecting flight from god knows where has arrived and (this was unstated, but obvious) those ticket-holders with more Air France frequent travel miles than me can board first.
Oh no I haven't, I explain. I'm here now, hon. I've got a seat. Says so right here, it's called 29J and I'm sitting in it. When your late arriving friends show up, they can have whatever seats are left, but I'm here, and I'll have my seat thanks ever so much.
She tells me I do not understand.
I explain that I understand perfectly clearly, I just don't agree with the plan.
I'm here, they're not: My seat. Now please check me through, thank you.
Non, msr. Please you to wait. It will be okay.
Agreed… As long as my ass is in 29J, madame.
Don't make trouble for all of us, spits an old duck from America, with a mix of anger and fear on her face, also in the stand-by line.
This isn't trouble, hon. Trouble comes when I dont get my seat. I return her pinched disapproval with a dark menacing smile, and then clock a second gate attendant flirting with a gray haired French man (I hope he's French, if he's not, the outfit is inexcusable) while both lean over examining the flight information. I wait, patient/courteous, for the flirting to stop. She and I talk. We are reasonable people. We smile, we laugh sardonically about the bomb; scare c'est la vie and all that. She speaks with The Shrew guarding the gate. Time passes. My name is mispronounced over the klaxon. Air France is ready to board ticket-holder Chaahrlz OW-ahrd. Shortly after I board the shuttle bus to the plane, The Old Duck boards the bus, as well, trying not to make eye-contact.
You get in trouble, too? I ask.
She hates me.
Arrive Alive: Collioure, France to NYC

Located in London's East End, Whitechapel is best known as a center for creativity and rebirth. This neighborhood was at the center of the cloth trade for centuries, reinforced by waves of immigrants. A historically deprived area of London, it became a focus for reform at the end of the Victorian age. Today it's undergoing regeneration again, sparked by the expanded Whitechapel Art Gallery opening in 2009—which paved the way for new cafes and restaurants. These stand beside the Bangladeshi curry houses on Brick Lane, and the legendary Punjabi restaurant Tayyabs. With such a diverse and creative community, it's no wonder that Whitechapel has also become a thriving center for businesses in a range of industries. More than just commercial property, WeWork Whitechapel offers inspiring office space filled with custom artwork that reflects the area's roots, along with networking events and onsite staff to help you make the most of the workday. Take a tour today and see why WeWork Whitechapel is the place to be.
WeWork Whitechapel is office space in a vibrant, up-and-coming part of East London where creatives and startups are redefining what it means to do business. The area's unique character is supported by a flourishing food scene, street markets, and the Whitechapel Art Gallery. The arrival of Crossrail in 2018 will connect Whitechapel even further, creating new squares and a pedestrian and cyclists area. With so much happening, there's never been a better time to move your business to WeWork Whitechapel. Our spaces are designed with productivity and connection in mind. Whether you need a dedicated desk or private office space, you'll feel right at home here. Take a meeting in one of our open, airy common areas or enjoy a cup of fresh micro-brewed coffee at your desk. At WeWork Whitechapel, you'll have everything you need to take your business into the future.

Blood Water Mission
They had it all broken down as to how you can help:
$1 equals a year of clean water for an African.
$300 equals a year of comprehensive treatment for a person with HIV.
$600 provides 20 community latrines to promote healthy sanitation practices.
$1,000 provides sanitation training at five schools
$1,200 provides one year of pre and post natal care to help a child be born free of HIV
$2,000 provides one year of education and support for an HIV home based care group.
$5,000 provides testing and counseling services at a comprehensive health clinic for a year.
$18,000 covers the operating costs of the Tumaini Clinic in Marsabit, Kenya for a month
$75,000 builds a dam reservoir providing water for 3,000 people
Mike Hamilton is the president now. The Lord connected me to his wife while I was in Uganda and found out Josie was HIV positive. She emailed me to affirm me that everything was going to be okay, and to tell me that they brought home a sibling group and the youngest was positive. At the time, they were not disclosing that she is positive. NOW, they are using their VOICE and their platform to educate and encourage. I LOVE how Christ does that! Their little girls name is "Kalu" which means "spread the word"....WHAT ABOUT THAT?!?!? After hearing that, I googled Josephine... the meaning? "HE will enlarge".....WOW! I literally dropped my head and said a prayer of thanksgiving. I am SO thankful that HE is allowing little ole me to be part of a story that HE WILL ENLARGE! I sat at my fundraising table hearing all of the stories of how HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people die of HIV/AIDS daily, and HE has entrusted me with a survivor of this disease. WHY? Because He is going to do great things through people KNOWING her story. HE is going to ENLARGE our territory, so we can EDUCATE people on what it looks like to walk in blind faith and how HE will show HIS face OVER and OVER and OVER again if we will just CLING to HIM. COME ON PEOPLE...just get a little taste of what HE can do and you will want more and more! I want you to feel it, FEEL the JOY that only HE can give you.
say YES to something RADICAL and CRAZY...let HIM show HIS face to you....you will NEVER be the same.

Last week the New York area got hit by a terrible "hurricane" that crippled the city and the surrounding states. From this side of the Ocean, we couldn't help but feel the angst of the people getting ready for what was to come. Those who didn't have to evacuate were getting ready to live without electricity for a few days.
Being from Sicily, I am used to loosing electricity power almost at each storm that hit my town, but this never last more than a couple of hours. I can't imagine what it means to remap our life around camp stoves and charcoal grills with the fear that most of the food was spoiling away in a dark and warm fridge.
Furthermore, when trees fall not only the power lines are affected but also the telephone ones are and this is enough to send far-away siblings into fibrillation.
Things are slowly getting back to normal, power is returning to households and the regular life can restart soon. Still, lots of destruction needs to be amended and all the goodwill organisation out there really can use our help.
In this optic Jenn of Jenncuisine and Barbara of Creative Culinary have organised this flash action targeting the always extremely supporting food-bloggers community.
By proposing you a welcomely and homely dish, we want to raise awareness toward some of the numerous charity organisations that are helping in the reconstruction. This list is far from being exhaustive, but some of the larger organizations accepting donations include:
- Red Cross is providing food, shelter, and other forms of support to hurricane victims. You can donate directly to the Red Cross, you can also text the word "Redcross" to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
- Salvation Army is also focused on providing food, shelter, and support to victims, and takes donations to storm relief.
- Feeding America is providing food, water and supplies to those who need it as part of their disaster relief program.
I have chosen to propose you one of the most favorite of my mom's: Pasta e Broccoli. Different version of this simple dish exist in Sicily and broccoli is widely used as vegetable especially as stuffing for our "cudduruni" (home-made calzone with thin pizza dough casing).
The simplest and of secure instant satisfaction version of this pasta requires a very fond love of raw garlic since you simple strain the pasta and broccoli (that have been cooking in together) over some finely minced garlic in your serving plate. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a handful of grated Parmesan and you are in heaven!
This must be my family equivalent of chicken soup as panacea for all sicknesses.
The version I propose you is more layered with the earthy flavours of Southern Italy. Do not fear, a very healthy dose of garlic goes in it as well but along with it a handful of black olives, savory and briny anchovies and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Traditionally this pasta would be topped with toasted breadcrumbs but I still prefer the savory richness of grated Parmesan over this dish rich of contrasts.
When boiled, broccoli develop a very sweet flavour with a daunting melting-in-the-mouth texture. The seldom accents of bitter black olives serves well to wake up your senses to the next bite of sweetness.
Earthy Pasta e Broccoli Sicilian style
Ingredients (serve 2):
- 150g short pasta like fusilli
- 120g broccoli florets, halved or quartered if too big
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste or 3 anchovy fillets under salt
- 50g black olives, stoned and slivered
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Bring a big pot of water to the boil, salt it as you would for pasta and drop in both the pasta and the broccoli florets.
In the meantime, in a wide pan, combine the olive oil with the anchovy (or anchovy paste), the red pepper flakes, half of the minced garlic, the black olives and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water. On medium-low fire, cook the seasoning stirring gently until the anchovies will have melted down, add extra pasta water if needed.
When the pasta will be al-dente drain it, preferably using a slotted spoon, onto the hot pan with the anchovy-olive seasoning, add the balance of minced garlic and saute for a couple of minutes.
Check the seasoning for salt and serve with an extra optional drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a nice dusting of grated Parmesan.

This weekend marks the kickoff of the fifth annual "Sunday Streets" season in San Francisco that shuts down miles of city streets to traffic and creates an open space for the public.
The first Sunday event will open up 3.3 miles of the northern swath of the Embarcadero from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Third Street from Terry Francois Boulevard to King Street will also be incorporated into the street fair.
Bicyclists, pedestrians, joggers and families are invited to the car-free event where many local musicians, merchants, organizations and businesses set up tables, booths, performances and other programming.
Activities will be held at several spots including Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building, Pier 7, Pier 23, Pier 52, Pier 39, and Pier 30, which include plans for a rock climbing wall, live music, art demonstrations and a treasure hunt.
The Exploratorium science museum, which is in the process of relocating from its longtime Palace of Fine Arts location near the Marina Green to Pier 15 this April, will have hands-on exhibits available, organizers said.
Sunday Streets, which continues in various neighborhoods through October, is organized by several city agencies including the Recreation and Parks Department, Department of Public Works and the Municipal Transportation Agency.

At the same time, he seeks to muzzle the free-speech rights of the press

Escuela de Periodismo Auténtico, Generación 2016
Me topé con la Escuela de Periodismo Auténtico durante una época extraña de mi vida. El principio del 2016 fue interesante—una mezcla de frustración y melancolía al sentirme perdida en mi vida laboral y, por consiguiente, en mi vida personal. Para ese entonces ya había trabajado en el gremio periodístico durante casi cuatro años. Empecé ese camino con mucha ilusión y energía.
Una escuela para personas que creen que el mundo puede ir mejorPosted by - February 21, 2017 at 3:56 pm
Por Memo Bautista
Hace un año una amiga me envió por Facebook una convocatoria para ingresar a la Escuela de Periodismo Auténtico. Hasta ese momento no conocía nada acerca de ese lugar, así que investigué un poco y llamó mi atención que podía recibir un taller sobre cómo cubrir movimientos sociales. Además no tendría costo porque los alumnos son becados.
A School For People That Believe The World Can Get BetterPosted by - February 21, 2017 at 3:56 pmBy Memo BautistaA year ago, a friend sent me via Facebook a call for applications to the School of Authentic Journalism. Before then, I knew nothing about it. I did some research and it caught my attention that I could receive a course on how to cover social movements. And also, it would not cost anything because all students are granted a scholarship.

Now More Than Ever The World Needs The School of Authentic JournalismPosted by - February 19, 2017 at 7:01 pm
It is a time of deep social conflict in the United States, Mexico, and throughout much of the world. Amid this conflict, The School of Authentic Journalism provides an effective laboratory where we study and teach how to communicate the objectives and stories of social movements that seek to transform the world, and our view of it, for the better. Our work is to tell stories - and help others tell their own stories - in ways that make movements stronger, more effective and victorious. But only with your support will the 2017 school be possible, and you can do so here.
We have no endowment and our only financial support comes from readers and supporters to a nonprofit organization, The Fund for Authentic Journalism. We are a team of united individuals who share our ideas, knowledge, and our own time to train journalists to cover and support the struggles our world so desperately needs.
Each year, the School of Authentic Journalism invites between 40 and 80 talented journalists and organizers to learn a unique form of struggle based on strategic media skills and nonviolent civil resistance. $30,000 is the minimum it costs to make a Spanish language session happen. However, if we raise $70,000, we'll be able to host a longer bilingual school in 2017 for English speakers too.

As introduced in our last update, we are currently working with My Little Remix toward another event, Seeds of Kindness, to help save lives by building a clinic in Uganda and a village for Street Children in Burundi. To make this happen, we need help from you musicians and artists out there! Many generous bronies offered wonderful prizes for Smile! and helped raise more than $26,000, and we hope to make this success repeat itself! If you either make or own custom pony art (or even non-pony stuff such as Steam gifts) and want to use your talent to make the world a better place to live, we would love to collaborate with you, so feel free to check out this page here for additional information on Seeds of Kindness and ways you can participate:
If you have specific questions, feel free to shoot us an email at broniesforgood @gmail.com
You can learn more about the clinic, the Green Village and our partner, Your Siblings, on their FAQ – it's a good read. Their policy is to cover all travel and personal costs as well as money transfer fees independently from donations, so that 100% of what you give will be spent exclusively on said projects !
Thanks again to everyone making all of this possible, and spread the word !

This is part of a series of Blog Posts dealing with the Find-A-Grave website. In this case, We are going to Select and Use a Source Template for a Hint that lead to an Ancestry.com Index link to a Find-A-Grave website. These steps are generic enough so that any Source Template can be created based on information from the Find-A-Grave website.
Staring in the Sources Workspace, clicking on Add, right hand panel, then selecting New, will bring up the Template Keyword search screen. Will enter CEM for Cemetery. There are other ways to get here, but I find the Keyword Search is quicker.
I consider Find-A-Grave as a Derived Compiled data source. Because I want to have the many Find-A-Grave grouped by the Contributor to the Find-A-Grave website. I may have communications with, or want to have communications with that Contributor. We may share relatives, they may be in a location that I can't get to and may wish to seek help, I may want to transfer control of one of my Memorials to a member of the family, or I may want to request the memorial to me, as I am family. Being able to group by contributor, to me, is very helpful.
Once the Add ICON is selected, the New button is selected the list of Templates are presented. The last entry is the choice for this.
The Template Form will ask for Creator Surname and Creator forename(s) For these Ancestry entries, I enter "Web" for the Creator surname. The reason will be clearer shortly. The Creator Forename is "Ancestry.com". The Description Title is the Top Line of the Web Search screen show above. For these cases, I take the Top line of the "hit" screen, which has the title of the collection at Ancestry.com. In this case, "Maine, Find-A-Grave Index, 1778-2011". The Website Title is Ancestry.com, the URL is "www.ancestry.com" and the Year is taken from the Source information on that Web Search screen from Ancestry.com.
I add two more lines in the Comments, and they are what I put into the Citation Details and Citation Text. Citation Details is "online; accessed: " It's clear that this index is Online and the date it was accessed is imported. After reviewing the Reference Notes and looking at Evidence Explained! it determine what data has to be entered in the Citation Details and the Citation Text to get the desired Reference Note. I do this for all Source entries that I put into the Template format.
These two items will be copied and pasted into those two fields on the New Citation window for this Template.
All that was added to the Citation Detail is the date accessed.
The Citation Text reads: Index for [ full name ]. That is replace by the persons full name from the database, which may be a little more then what is on the hint. The name differences will be reflected in the Name Fact.
The resulting Reference Note will look like this:
Some may stop here, but I will go a couple of extra steps. I Paste the Source information from the Ancestry.com website and Paste it into the Notes tab for the Citation.
For example:
Source Information:
Ancestry.com. Web: Maine, Find A Grave Index, 1778-2011 [database on-line]. Provo, UT. USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2012.
Original data: Find A Grave. Find A Grave. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi: accessed 20 March 2012.
All data in this third-party database was obtained from Find a Grave. Ancestry.com does not support or make corrections or changes to the original database.
One more additional step that I take is to do a Screen Capture of what I saw on the Web Search screen. I shows all of what was on that screen and I save it as a JPG file..
Before it is added, you will be asked to put this image into a Category. I use a Cemetery Category for this information.
Almost done. I want to put a description on that Media file. I use the Reference Note from the Citation and will paste that into the Description field. (hi-lite, CTRL+C)
Selecting the Pencil ICON, on the Media Tab is the Media Detail screen.
Where the Reference Note is pasted as seen below.

I'm not going to say much more because I'm running out of superlatives for Daniels, other than to add, rather obviously, that he's perhaps the best story of the first round of the playoffs. Houston's down 3-1 in the series to Portland, so hopefully Daniels has a few heroics left in the holster so we can KEEP WATCHING TROY DANIELS BURY THREES FOR DAYS.

Aaliyah Boyer
On New Year's Eve, Aaliyah Boyer was at her Grandfather's home in Elkton, Maryland. She walked outside to watch fireworks. A bullet struck her in the head. The bullet came from a gun user (police believe blocks away) celebrating New Years by shooting bullets into the air. Aaliyah Boyer died on Jan 3rd, 2013. The shooter is still unknown.
Multiple organs from Aaliyah were donated to save other children.
Update 3/1/2013: Law Enforcement says the bullet that came from the gun that killed Alliyah Boyer was from an AK47 Rifle.
The police say they will have a hard time capturing the shooter since most of these firearms are not registered. If anyone knows who pulled the trigger, please let local police know. If you are the shooter, the family of Aaliyah Boyer knows it was an accident yet will not rest until you come forward. Please contact local police enforcement to turn yourself in. Do the right thing!
