From News of the World to the news of the day, media scandals in the U.K. have become practically de rigueur over the past few months. In fact, the phone-hacking scandal and the subsequent parliamentary, public and police inquires into media ethics have each been repeatedly called "the gift that keeps on giving" for journalists. The scandal that started with a single paper at News International, the British newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, has since expanded and touched on politicians, police officers and corporate executives. Yet there are days when even the most jaded reporter will be floored by the reach of the scandal. Put another, more clichéd, way: when it rains, it pours.
The week of May 28 was already sure to be momentous, as a series of high-profile politicians, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair and serving members of the current government, were summoned to give testimony at the inquiry led by Lord Justice Brian Leveson. Yet, the scandal's twists and turns weren't confined to the inquiry. An additional series of revelations, which no one was accounting for, have not only kept journalists and investigators very, very busy but have also solidified the idea that the tentacles of phone-hacking allegations spread very, very far. Here's a run-down of the week's revelations, so far:
CHARGES: News broke Tuesday night that the Crown Prosecution Service had been forwarded another case related to the investigation into phone-hacking. This time the charges related to a police officer accused of misconduct in public office and corruption. While there have been dozens of arrests in the hacking-related investigations, this marks just the seventh case where charges are being formally considered or, indeed, have been pressed by the prosecuting authorities.

COULSON: On Wednesday, Andy Coulson, Prime Minister David Cameron's former communications director and a former News of the World editor, was arrested and charged with perjury. In 2010, Coulson testified at the perjury trial of Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan at the High Court in Glasgow. As a result of that trial, Sheridan was jailed for three years for lying under oath during his 2006 defamation action against the NotW. Coulson had testified during the trial that he had no knowledge of illegal activities by reporters while he was editor of the tabloid. This isn't the first time that Coulson has been arrested; last July, he was detained under suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and corruption during his time as editor at NotW. He was held for about six hours on Wednesday before being released on bail. There has been no comment on the perjury charge, though Coulson has stated in the past that he had no knowledge of hacking at NotW.
CONNERY: There is already a long list of celebrities who've been informed they were likely victims of phone-hacking by News of the World. The latest addition to that list is none other than James Bond himself. The Guardian reported Wednesday that Scottish actor Sean Connery was alerted by police that they suspected his phone had been hacked several times in the past by the now-shuttered tabloid. Connery's close confident and biographer, Murray Grigor, told the Guardian: "Apparently there were 10 instances… but [Connery] doesn't want to know. He doesn't want anything to do with it."
CABLE: Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat Business Secretary and former adjudicator of the News Corp. multi-billion-dollar bid on the British Sky Broadcasting company, appeared before Leveson on Wednesday. Removed from his quasi-judicial role over the bid due to a perceived bias against News Corp. – he was famously secretly recorded saying that he'd "declared war" on Murdoch – Cable's testimony was sure to be sensational. And it was, as he revealed that members of the News Corp. camp made "veiled threats" to Cable, insinuating that if he did not approve the takeover, his party would be "done over" by the newspaper group. Cable also wrote in his witness statement submitted to the inquiry that he "believed that the Murdochs' political influence exercised through their newspapers had become disproportionate."

CANNED: As if that weren't enough news about the news, unrelated to the hacking scandal, former-Leveson witnesses Richard Wallace and Tina Weaver also made headlines when it was announced that they were leaving their prominent posts as editors of the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Mirror, respectively. In a letter to staff, Mark Hollingshead, managing director of national titles at Trinity Mirror group, told employees that the dual departures were due to the papers' shift to a seven-day publishing model. Though the Trinity Mirror is a wholly separate company from News International, there's the definite feeling that there's been a change in the media tide. When Murdoch closed the NotW, he too changed one of his best-selling papers, The Sun, from a Monday through Saturday paper, to a seven-day operation. It seems that the waves caused by the NotW closure have clearly caused ripples across other papers as well.
And the week's surprises aren't likely to stop there. Many have Thursday marked down in their calendars, as it's the day that Conservative Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt is testifying at Leveson, likely about his role overseeing the BSkyB bid and his relationship with the News Corp. crew. It could spell the political downfall of the Tory MP, who was unexpectedly caught up in the scandal when James Murdoch revealed a slew of email correspondences indicating coziness between the government and the media conglomerate. Yet for all the surprises the mining of the media culture has thrown at us, there is one thing everyone can be near certain of: the scandal will continue to grow and it's never certain who will be ensnared next.

It all sounds too good to be true. I cannot imagine a non-conformation breed club having standing with a national kennel club. At the very least, once it gets set up and its feet on the ground, it will either drive the UK cavalier club nuts or it will keep that club honest about the genetic health issues.
But, even now, compared to the two national cavalier clubs in the USA, the UK cavalier club is outstanding regarding genetic health. Can you imagine a national breed club refusing to acknowledge the existence of either the MVD or SM breeding protocol? Can you imagine a national breed club making up phony breeding protocols for MVD?
Well, that is what we have to put up with over here: two completely irresponsible cavalier breed clubs regarding genetic health. And, I cannot think of any issue more vital to the protection of the breed than genetic health. Obviously, the leadership of those two clubs do not agree with that position.

"I look at the first couple of plays as being of extra importance. In those first few plays, I try to remove any thought my opponent might have had that that was gonna be his day."
(Michigan)...6'3'', 275...Daniel Lee Dierdorf ... No. 2 draft pick, 1971 ... Michigan All-American ... Possessed size, speed, quickness, discipline, intelligence, consistency ... Equally effective as passing, rushing blocker ... Right tackle who anchored line that led NFL three years, NFC five years in fewest sacks allowed ... All-Pro five years ... Played in six Pro Bowls ... Named best blocker three years by NFL Players Association ... Born June 29, 1949, in Canton, Ohio.
Dan Dierdorf excelled as an offensive lineman for 13 seasons from 1971 through 1983. He seemed destined for stardom from the moment he joined the St. Louis Cardinals as a second-round choice and the 43rd player selected in the 1971 draft.
Dierdorf, who had been a consensus All-America at Michigan in 1970, possessed size, speed, quickness, discipline, intelligence and consistency, all necessary attributes for an outstanding lineman. The 6-3, 275-pounder from Canton, Ohio, where he was born on June 29, 1949, played both guard and tackle his first two seasons before settling down as the permanent right tackle in his third season. Dierdorf, who was equally effective as a blocker on both running and passing plays, was the ring-leader of the line that permitted the fewest sacks in the NFC for five straight years in the mid-1970s. In 1975, the Cardinals set a then-record by allowing only eight sacks in 14 games.
He proved his durability by playing in every game until a broken jaw forced him out of two games in his seventh season in 1977. In 1979, he did miss 14 of 16 games because of a dislocated left knee. However, he bounced back strongly in 1980 with another all-pro caliber season. In 1982, Dierdorf unselfishly responded to a personnel emergency on the offensive line by agreeing to move to center. He not only made a smooth adjustment to the new position but he proved to be especially effective blocking against the bigger nose tackles of the new 3-4 defensive alignments he had to face.
Dierdorf was named All-Pro five seasons – from 1975 to 1978 and again in 1980. He was elected to six Pro Bowl games, missing only once from 1974 through 1980. The NFL Players Association picked him as the best overall blocker in the NFL three straight years from 1976 to 1978
Dierdorf never played in a conference or league championship game during his career.

An Insisde View
October 30, 2007
Thanks for all the responses to the October 11 Phillies Insider. Will get to responding later this week.
First, wanted to give you an inside view of the organization meeting that was held the last two days.
Scouts, minor league managers/coaches/instructors, athletic trainers, Charlie Manauel and his staff plus Pat Gillick's complete department met at Citizens Bank Park. A total of 117 persons were in attendance.
Generally, this meeting takes place in Clearwater during the Florida Instructional League season. Because many of the scouts and player development personnel hadn't seen Citizens Bank Park, the meeting was held in Philadelphia this year.
Every player on the major league roster and every player on the minor league rosters were briefly discussed in the large general sessions. For the major league players, Rich Dubee, Milt Thompson, Jimy Williams, Steve Smith, Ramon Henderson and Mick Billmeyer did the reviews. Minor league players were reviewed by their respective manager and pitching coach. Athletic trainer Scott Sheridan gave a medical overview of the major league players.
Scouts follow amateur players and sign them after the draft. The young prospects are then turned over to the player development phase of the organization. The two-day meeting allowed the scouts and development staff to compare reports and discuss the players. It is the only time in a calendar year in which these two large groups are able to meet.
Separate breakout sessions were also held.
Gillick, Mike Arbuckle and Ruben Amaro oversaw three separate sessions with the pro scouts and major league coaching staff to review 2008 roster needs and potential free agents. The consensus, which is not a surprise: the Phillies need pitching, both starters and relievers. Lower on the shopping list are a potential upgrade at third base, a utility infielder who can play short (Jimmy Rollins didn't miss a game on 2007) and perhaps an extra outfielder, depending upon what happens at that position (Aaron Rowand is a free agent).
Scouts reviewed the grading system, international baseball, negotiations with draftees, the college scholarship program, the contract signing process and general business procedures.
The player development staff also reviewed the scout grading system, ways to improve "The Phillies Way" of playing baseball, the rehab program, computer changes and draft selection process.
Scouts and player development also had a session to review pitching and hitting philosophies of the organization, an overview of the 2007 draft and the process of players moving up and down the minor league system.
The athletic trainers met separately twice to review the injuries and procedures the entire organization went through in 2007.
Employee benefits and a skin cancer screening session were also folded in the two days.
Baseball, once a sport with down time in the off-season, is now big business that is year-round.

Number One Stunner: Federer's Record Reign May be Over
It seems like Nadal has had to endure the Trials of Hercules to get to this point; Bum Phillips used to say that Don Shula "can take his'n and beat your'n or he can take your'n and beat his'n" and Nadal has done something similar to Federer this year: he beat Federer on Federer's favorite surface--the Wimbledon grass--and Nadal smoked Federer on the French Open clay that Nadal has tamed like no one since the great Bjorn Borg. Despite those victories in the two biggest tournaments of the year and despite an active 31 match winning streak Nadal still has not officially surpassed Federer even as the allegedly best player staggers from one early tournament exit to another throughout the year. Someone needs to take the ATP ranking formula back to the lab, because you don't have to be a tennis expert to figure out that Nadal is clearly the best player in the world and has been for several months at least.
Last year I said that Nadal had a great chance of pulling off the French-Wimbledon double--a feat that had not been accomplished since Borg incredibly did it from 1978-80--and I have repeatedly made the observation that it was extremely premature for people to trumpet Federer as the greatest player of the Open Era, let alone the greatest player of all-time. As I mentioned in a January 8, 2008 post, Borg has an edge over Federer in several key areas:
1) Youngest player to win 11 Grand Slams (25).
2) Career Grand Slam winning percentage (.898, first all-time).
3) Winning Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year (Borg did this three straight years; no one else had done this even once until Nadal accomplished the feat this year).
4) Winning three Grand Slam events without losing a single set (only three other players have won a Grand Slam without losing a set and none of them did it more than once).
5) Borg won at least one Grand Slam title in a record eight straight years (Sampras matched this feat).
Borg remains the greatest player of the Open Era; he was king of both the French Open (six titles) and Wimbledon (five titles) in an unprecedented fashion and he achieved that mastery by the age of 25, retiring from active play shortly thereafter following a year in which he made three Grand Slam finals and won one Grand Slam title. Sampras, due to his longevity at the top and the fact that he holds the career Grand Slam singles record (14), ranks second; Sampras did not have Borg's multi-surface versatility and played several years longer than Borg to move past him on the career list of Grand Slam singles winners. For now, Federer is third but Nadal is several years younger than Federer, owns a decisive head to head advantage and has already won five Grand Slam titles at an age when Federer had just claimed one Grand Slam title; Nadal certainly has a chance to surpass Federer not just in the current rankings but in the mythical Open Era rankings. I will not make the mistake that others did with Federer and prematurely crown Nadal but Nadal's achievements are very impressive and he seems more than capable of winning several more Grand Slams in the next few years.

Yup, sad as it sounds. Federer had a great run as Number 1 in the world, but unfortunately Nadal is within reach. I support Federer - because he has started to lose due to a lack of consistent coaching and practice. Nadal on the other hand has really worked to get here, and it has shown in the last two major tournaments - French and Wimbledon. Nadal has a couple of tough opponents if he expects to win the tournament - Djokovic and Murray. Anyways

Tennis was so different before the Open Era (1968) that I usually avoid making comparisons between the pre and post Open Eras. I still have Borg as the best Open Era player, with Sampras and Federer right behind him. Nadal has a window of opportunity to join that discussion if he keeps winning in the next 2-3 years. Right now Nadal is the best current player. It would not surprise me if Federer is done winning Slams or if he just wins one more like Sampras did near the end. Nadal is younger than Federer and is pounding him on multiple surfaces so what reason is there to think that this will change? It's just not natural to assume that the older, less versatile player is going to start beating the younger, more versatile and better conditioned player. Maybe Nadal's style will cause him to wear down but that has not happened yet.

Recent photo of Baby Levon who has last seen alive over six weeks ago
Levon Wameling has been missing for over six weeks. He was last seen at his home in Utica, New York on the night of May 29, 2013.
According to reports, Utica Police were notified when an attorney contacted them informing them that Levon's father, Jevon Wameling, 27, left the child on his Jay Street front porch at 11:30PM on May 29th while he went around to unlock the back door, and when he got into the house and opened the front door, Levon was gone.
It was only after 2 weeks, on June 11, 2013 when the child's mother and Levon's stepfather confronted Jevon that he claimed the baby was missing and possibly kidnapped.
Utica police and New York State Police K-9 units spent hours searching the streets and wooded areas around 748 Jay St. for any clues about what happened to Levon but so far have come up empty. They have asked others to NOT form search parties while the investigation is underway.
Levon was last seen wearing only a diaper according to his father. He is now 11-months old and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Levon Wameling – Missing Baby is a Facebook created which has already received 568 likes. The family of Levon Wameling is asking the public to please 'like' and 'share' the Facebook page in hopes that somebody who saw something will remember and speak up.

January was cold. But for a few days it wasn't, and we all feared London would flood when the rising sea level overpowered the wonder of modern technology that is the Thames Barrier. Then it got colder, still, and we remembered that The Netherlands will drown way before us, meaning that barrels of Grolsch will wash up on the east coast of the Isle Of Wight for a good few years. Hooray.
Oh how we'd celebrate: free beer and Red Funnel trips all round! Unless Portsmouth was also submerged, of course. Would that be such a bad thing, though?
But all this talk of evolving into a race of webbed-limbed freaks is totally off the subject at hand, which is January's finest long-play releases. Yes, despite the mood of the nation following Christmas, one of greyness and gloom, many a great album hit stores online and high-street alike in the year's first month.
Here are our pick of the bunch. Listen to them, for they are far from as bad as awaking one morning to find the canals of Amsterdam have risen to flood the Sex Museum. Nobody wants that.
And please, no 'where's Jamie T?', 'cause it's here
_Myths Of The Near Future
Said DiS of the much-hyped debut album from London's Klaxons: Myths Of The Near Future isn't a rave record. It was never supposed to be. It's a wildly varying catalogue of melody and energy that eschews genre and scene in favour of songwriting and awe-inspiringly beefy production. Don't let anything get in the way of you picking up Klaxon's debut long-player: it's expansive, free from pretension and easily one of the finest first releases of recent times...

My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go
Chemikal Underground
Said DiS of the Scottish quartet's fourth long-player: My Heart… is one of the most defining, yet joyfully free-spirited, albums you will hear all year. Yes, musically the songs housed in this ten-track collection jut out at a near-right angle to the band's earlier material, but even without the usual PR fanfare and proclamation of a band stating they have reached their creative peak and created a piece of work that captures them at their best, you feel they have done just that. Here, Aereogramme have created something more than deserving of all the praise lavished upon it.

There's No 666 In Outer Space
Said DiS of Hella's first 'big band' album: Imagine The Mars Volta's swollen red super-giant bursting beyond the constraints of mass and time and finally contracting to an all encompassing black-hole, sucking in Lightning Bolt's heaviest riffs and The Boredoms' most intense drum work after hurtling them to 'n' fro against all manner of cosmic debris. Titles such as 'Song For Insecuirity' and '2012' may seem wilfully obtuse. They are. They fit the mood perfectly.

Of Montreal
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Said DiS of the record many a commentator has called a potential album of the year: Instead of pairing his sombre, hope-tinged lyrics with the contemplative acoustic navel gazing that has made the careers of a few too many fragile individuals, Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes teams his emotional bloodletting with a thrusting mix of psyche-tinged melodies, bargain-basement electro and disco-fuelled indie. All channelled through multiple harmonies that, oddly enough, periodically evoke the spirit of early Prince. It's funky, occasionally sexy and often brilliant.

Hell Hath No Fury
Said DiS of an album almost wholly inspired by the snortin' sort o' drug: From the first bar of 'We Got It For Cheap' the two brothers known to their mum as Gene and Terence Thornton drag the listener kicking and screaming into a world of pseudo-glamour, drug deals and, well, excruciatingly good beats. Clipse manage to merge the murky world of selling crack with popular music of the highest quality. Something you can't imagine Pete Doherty ever doing.

Field Music
Tones Of Town
Memphis Industries
DiS saw fit to slap a 10/10 on this bad boy: No doubt Field Music fans have been champing at the bit for the release of this album. After being treated to a collection of b-sides and rarities early last year, Tones Of Town, their second album proper, continues to demonstrate how proper pop music should be done – full of lush harmonies, skewed melodies and with an ear for delicately perfect tunes. It's unpredictable, ridiculously clever, catchy as hell and as perfect a pop album as you're ever likely to hear.

The Shins
Wincing The Night Away
Transgressive / Sub Pop
Said DiS of the album that was hardly likely to get a bad review on DiS: New Mexico may be a long way from palm-strewn beaches of California, but The Shins' James Mercer remains the Brian Wilson of his generation, an unrivalled pop conjurer whose elegant way with a melody dispenses with the notion that pop's strictly for tarts. On Wincing The Night Away, he dispels yet another myth, that maturity and pop music go together like foot and mouth.

Yndi Halda
Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Big Scary Monsters
Said DiS of the Kentish instrumentalist's EP-cum-album, something so good we successfully asked them to play a show for us: It's their masterful manipulation of the listener's emotions that sets Yndi Halda apart: many a technically tight passage can be forgotten come the record's climax, as the memory remembers only the images these four tracks conjure. A burning red sun rising high over a sparkling sea; endless glaciers picking up pace on a mountainside, threatening to destroy the hamlets below; the curve of the Earth as seen from the lunar surface; crows in Finsbury Park battling over whatever one of the murder pulled from an overflowing waste bin…

Wires On Fire
Wires On Fire
Said DiS of the album that reminded us what punk-rock should sound like: Buying this album won't make the hot girl in class talk to you, and the sporty head boy won't suddenly select you for the football team. Buying this record won't turn your grey black, lift the sacks under your eyes or remedy the nagging sense of déjà vu that manifests itself in your ear canals every day. But… fuck, it makes me feel absolutely electric, the most alive for years, invincible.

The Cooper Temple Clause
Make This Your Own
Said DiS of one of our most-heart'ed bands in the UK's latest LP: TCTC's Ben Gautrey's gravely vocal is extremely high in the mix – not a move I'd be inclined to agree with but despite (or maybe because of) this, echoes of it are still puncturing holes in my brain some time later, even, inexplicably, when I get up in the dead of night to answer nature's call. Too much information you may say, but it's about context, the context here being that there are tracks on_ Make This Your Own _that will tear the top of your skull off and sit in your head for days.

I'm not sure if I should be more impressed that this Prince George's County criminal has successfully knocked over a string of banks without being caught or the fact that he had the balls to rob them while threatening to detonate a nuclear weapon.
The Maryland-based thief has robbed four banks since December, the most recent occurring Monday. In all four incidents the suspect enters the branch, hands a teller a note demanding cash otherwise he will detonate a "nuclear weapon," and then flees on foot. He made it out of Monday's heist with an undisclosed amount of money.
Now I'm not attempting to dismiss the terror a teller must feel when being held up but a "nuclear weapon"? Doesn't the complete and utter absurdity of such a threat just make you giggle a little? What's he going to do, obliterate himself too? I mean, the robber might as well as threaten a plague of frogs or claim that his Wookie sidekick is in the parking lot waiting to rip their arms off.
For god's sake, at least point your index finger in your pocket and tell them you've got a gun—do something to earn that cash besides writing a note and running. I swear, nobody takes pride in their craft anymore.
And anyone that recognizes this guy, call the police at 301-772-4905, or call Crime Solvers anonymously at 1-866-411-8477. [Washington Post]

|Photo #1, ca. 1860, inscribed "Anne and Mary 'Sloan."
Photo courtesy of Michael Siverhus.
The Slaaen (Sloan)/Vaterland branches are the parts of my mother's family that I know the least about. But, no sooner did I renew my interest in pursuing more information, than I received a wonderful surprise from one of my internet cousins. I say "internet cousin," because although we are blood related, I have only met Mike through e-mail correspondence. He contacted me a few years ago after seeing a notice I had posted in the Chippewa County Historical Society newsletter. I have several internet cousins whom I share information with, and this collaboration has helped me to make great inroads in genealogical research. Hopefully, I have been of some help to them, as well.
(Note: I use the names Slaaen/Sloan interchangeably, because although the original Norwegian surname was "Slaaen," the family adopted the Americanized version of "Sloan" after a few years in America.)
The surprise was a couple of photographs Mike found while visiting his mother recently. He thought they applied more to my side of the family than his, and so, he sent them along. The lovely mid-19th century photo above is of sisters: "Anne and Mary Sloan" is written on the back.
|Photo #2, ca. 1875, is inscribed: "Sister to "Pa's--Grandmother Annie Sloan."
Photo courtesy of Michael Siverhus.
This second photo, which is of excellent clarity and quality, is apparently of two sisters with their elderly mother (seated), although the inscription is more difficult to decipher: "Sister to Pa's--Grandmother Annie Sloan." The main questions are: who is "Pa," and which woman is the "Grandmother" referred to in the inscription?
There was another problem getting in the way of accurate identification of the women in the two photographs. As with many families, the names "Anne/Anna/Annie" and "Mary/Mari/Marie" were popular among Norwegians, and there were more than a few of the same name among the Slaaens and Vaterlands, and more than a few spelling variations, as well.
Photo #2 really set me thinking. I was not aware of any "Sloan" sisters by the name of Anne and Mary, although the shorter woman standing on the left looked familiar to me. I compared the photo to one of my great great grandmother (Anne Vaterland Slaaen), taken with the rest of her family, ca. 1890, and lo and behold, I found it to be the same woman. Could it be that the women in the second photo are actually Vaterlands, then, and not Sloans?
|Photo #3: Anne Vaterland Slaaen, ca. 1890,
Chippewa County, Minnesota (cropped photo from the
Hans T. Slaaen family portait in my previous blog post)
The woman in Photo #3, whom I know to be my great great grandmother, Anne Vaterland Slaaen/Sloan, appears harried and thin, almost gaunt, compared to the calm and appealing older woman standing on the left ("Grandmother Annie Sloan") in Photo #2, but they are indeed the same woman. Look carefully at the hairline, the droop of the eyes, the set of the mouth, and the distance between the nose and mouth. In 1890, Anne was in her seventies and had experienced a lifetime of hard work. Some 15 years earlier, as in Photo #2 (see cropped version below), she was not quite as thin. Photo #2 had to have been taken in the mid 1870s, because Marit Pedersdatter Vaterland, the seated woman who appears to be the mother of the other women, died in 1878 in Washington Township, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
|Cropped image of Anne Vaterland Slaaen,
ca. 1875 (from Photo #2)
My conclusion? The photos are actually Vaterland women, and not Slaaens/Sloans, in spite of the inscriptions on the back of the photos. Anne may have married a Slaaen, but her sister and mother could not lay claim to that name. When someone wrote on the back of the photos, perhaps many years after they were taken, Anne's maiden name had probably been forgotten, and the exact relationship of the women in Photo #2 was no longer clear.
But, did Anne Vaterland Slaaen actually have a sister named Mary, as the inscription on Photo #1 indicates? While searching for proof, I took another look at a pioneer biography of Anne Vaterland Slaaen's father that I found in a book by Hjalmar R. Holand, some years ago. It reads:
"Thor Johannessen Vaterland was born in Nordre Fron, Norway, April 8, 1808. He emigrated to America in 1858, and settled in Coon Valley on section 35, Town of Washington, La Crosse County, the same year. He was married to Marit Pedersen with whom he had two children: Mari and Anne..." [1]
Thanks to my internet cousin, not only have we "found" two more photographs of our great great grandmother, Anne Vaterland Slaaen, but we have also met the acquaintance of her sister, Mary/Mari Vaterland, and their mother, Marit Pedersdatter Øyen Vaterland.
I now have a photograph of my great great GREAT grandmother; how cool is THAT?

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day (PlayStation 3) review
"Like the comic and show, the game is really about relationships and tough decisions. The dialogue options are the heart of the game. You can choose how to react to most things characters say. Depending on the situation, you can lie or tell the truth, be hateful or helpful, insult someone or support them. Characters will remember the things you do and say to them, and later scenes will change depending on your decisions."
Staff review by Rhody Tobin (April 26, 2012)
Rhody likes to press the keys on his keyboard. Sometimes the resulting letters form strings of words that kind of make sense when you think about them for a moment. Most times they're just random gibberish that should be ignored. Ball-peen wobble glurk.

Embrace healthy living and eliminate pain, one meal at a time
By Julie Daniluk
Random House, 416 pages, $29.95
How often do you suffer from pain? If the sales of pain medication in this country are anything to go by, it's quite often. As much as those little white (or blue) pills help you get through that hockey game, or business meeting, or shopping trip they won't fix the under-lying problem.
And it is quite likely the underlying problem is inflammation - an immune response. And since 70 per cent of our immune system cells are found along the lining of the digestive tract, it makes sense that food fits into the equation in a big way.
Holistic nutritionist Julie Daniluk studied inflammation, and has come up with a detailed dietary plan she says will not only help eliminate pain but can cure the root cause of inflammation.
Since inflammation has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and diseases like arthritis, gastritis, colitis, dermatitis, nephritis, neuritis and cystitis (that what the suffix "itis" means, inflammation), you might want to pay attention if any of those things worry you.
Daniluk devotes the first part of this book to explaining her take on inflammation in depth, providing an easy-to read explanation of what is a complex subject. Offering both quick, bullet-point and chart-illustrated highlights for those who prefer their information bite-size and well written texts for those who want more of a narrative, she explains her "six main causes of inflammation" as: . toxicity - cellular injury caused by exposure to a chemical or physical agent;
. infection - a yeast, fungus, virus, bacterium or parasite that attacks the body;
. allergy - an immune system over-reaction to a substance, whether generally harmful or not;
. nutritional deficiency or excess - dietary imbalance leading to hormone disturbances, imbalances that stress organs and cell injury;
. injury - inflammation is a natural bodily response to trauma; and
. emotional trauma - elevated stress and mental distress affect human physiology.
This is quite a personal book for Daniluk, she offers examples from her own return-to-wellness story, while making a good case for sacrificing the few moments of tastebud exhilaration you get from your favourite junk food snack for the long-term happiness that being healthier and pain-free brings.
"It comes down to long-term happiness over short-term pleasure," Dani-luk says in the book. "The fun begins when your body and brain are free of the restrictions caused by your aliments. If you could return to the state of wellness you had as a child, you would probably return to laughing a hundred times a day.
Daniluk was certainly laughing a lot and having fun when I spoke with her last week as she made a flying visit to Vancouver to promote the book.
"They've got me running all over the place," she told me, "it's great!"
Daniluk is used to being busy - she has a reality cooking show on OWN called Healthy Gourmet, creates healthy recipes for publication in Chatelaine magazine and has made appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, The Marilyn Denis Show and The Right Fit.
So how does someone so busy eat well on the road?
Daniluk packs one third of her lug-gage with "emergency food" when travelling to ensure she is able to access a nutritious snack. And when she arrives at her destination the first thing she does is check her smart phone for the nearest health food store, where she stocks up with more healthy options. She is a big fan of a health bar consisting mostly of seeds bound with a little honey, and hemp hearts. "I almost always have a packet of hemp seeds in my pocket," she says with another hearty laugh.
She loved the healthy vibe she felt while she was in Vancouver. "People here are so accepting of alternatives and doing things a different way."
And when eating out? Daniluk admits she can be a challenging diner. "I eat a lot of à la carte. I ask the kitchen if they will create a gluten-free, dairy-free, low-GI dish for me. Mostly they enjoy the challenge, or they tell me they do," she chuckles.
Doing things differently is what most of you will have to embrace to follow Daniluk's advice. She provides a detailed plan of how to start making the necessary changes - from lists to help you cleanse your kitchen of all possible evils to strategies to wean you off your lunchtime burger with fries.
She provides a very useful anti-inflammatory food pyramid which lists the recommended number of servings per day of various foods, and plenty of advice about tailoring your diet to suit your individual needs - some may be only able to tolerate minimal amounts of certain foods like grains or dairy (and Daniluk also provides tools to help you identify your tolerances).
She uses the categories of green light (healing), yellow light (caution) and red light (hurting) to explore food categories and explain what foods have what effect in detail. There are checklists to see what state of inflammation you might be in, and practical tips galore.
The second part of this book is com-posed of 130 recipes to help you heal. There is no nutritional numerical breakdown of recipes, which I found refreshing. Instead, Daniluk has created her own legend with symbols indicating various dietary values - free of eggs, free of soy, free of dairy, free of tree nuts, low GI (being less than 55 on the glycemic index which measures how fast a carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar), gluten-free, and containing 70 per cent raw ingredients.
The recipes, although not all illustrated, are well-thought out instruction-wise, and the ones I tried were very tasty (I loved the addition of umeboshi to the bok choy stir-fry) and the krispy kale chips with their yeast and sweet potato "cheese" coating were a hit. Many of the recipes cite other benefits on top of reducing inflammation.
"I like that treating health problems with food has side-benefits, rather than side-effects," Daniluk says.
Daniluk spent five years working on this volume, double-checking that all the studies she cites were peer-reviewed. Her care and attention to detail shows.
"Diet can't completely cure inflammation if it is long-standing and set in deeply, but it certainly can have a positive effect."
Daniluk is confident that treating inflammation by diet not drugs will eventually become to be seen as a conventional instead of an alternative treatment. "I am very grateful to people like Dr. Oz ... who are actively promoting a return to a whole food diet."

Two U.S. Women's Beach Teams 2-0
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Communications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
@USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach – USAV Facebook
CHULA VISTA, Calif. (Sept. 28, 2012) – The U.S. women's beach volleyball teams of Emily Day and Heather Hughes along with Summer Ross and Morgan Beck both went undefeated on the first day of pool play at the 2012 NORCECA Beach Volleyball Circuit event at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
There are 13 women's teams split up into three pools of three and one pool of four competing at the tournament. Pool play will conclude on Saturday and the first rounds of single-elimination will begin.
The USA3 women's team of Ross (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Beck (Coto de Caza, Calif.) secured the Pool C victory by upsetting Puerto Rico's third-seeded Yarleen Santiago and Yamileska Yantin, 2-0 (21-18, 21-15) and then beating Costa Rica's Ivette Alas and Marianela Alfaro, 2-0 (21-8, 21-13).
The USA1 team of Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) went undefeated against their U.S. compatriots in the four-team women's Pool D, beating the USA 2 team of Michelle Moriarty (Houston, Texas) and Kaitlin Sather (Santa Rosa, Calif.) (21-8, 21-14) and the USA 5 team of Stevi Robinson (Hermosa Beach, Calif.) and Eve Ettinger (Santa Barbara, Calif.) (21-8, 21-11).
Day and Hughes will conclude pool play on Saturday against Diana Peguero and Nairobi Agramonte of Dominican Republic.
Moriarty and Sather bounced back after their morning loss to Day and Hughes and defeated Peguero and Agramonte (21-8, 21-8). The U.S. pair said they needed to regain their focus after the morning loss.
"We decided we needed to worry more about ourselves and coming out mentally prepared and physically ready," Moriarty said. "We took some time off to rest and came back actually ready to play in the second match."
"I think we just got off to a slow start," Sather added. "Heather and Emily are our training buddies. We've played them I don't know how many times this year in tournaments and in practice. So it's a hard match to come out with."
Moriarty and Sather will play Robinson and Ettinger in their final pool play match on Saturday. Robinson and Ettinger are 1-1 after losing to Day and Hughes and defeating Peguero and Agramonte.
The USA4 women's team of Kirby Burnham (Newport Beach, Calif.) and Sara Hughes (Costa Mesa, Calif.) went 1-1 in Pool B on Friday, falling to Canada's Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas and defeating Guatemala's Maria Jose Orellana and Maria Andrea Orellana.
Pool play will continue on Saturday (Sept. 29) with the matches starting at 9 a.m. Playoff matches will begin at 1 p.m. with the final matches scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
Semifinals and finals are scheduled for Sunday (Sept. 30).

Vincenzo Sposito
- Name
- Vincenzo Sposito
- Major(s)
- Finance and Information Systems
Vincenzo Sposito, a junior who is double majoring in finance and information systems, is enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. Sposito has shown his drive to excel through his leadership as the current president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, president of Felice's Roman Style Pizza, and executive member of the Interfraternity Council.
What has been a motivating factor for you in your work here at Loyola?
There is no doubt that the shear amount of opportunities provided here at Loyola has been my motivation. Not taking advantage of every chance given to me would be the worst detriment to my educational process. Everyone can read a book and take a test, but there are very few places like Loyola, which allow you to use that information and knowledge.
Is there anything that could have made your Loyola experience more meaningful?
I wish I would have realized all of the ways I could get involved as a freshman. It is one thing for everyone to tell me you can do this and you can do that, but it is another thing to feel how rewarding it is to be involved as a member or a leader of a group or classroom.
How did you get involved in research/service at Loyola?
I actually got involved in service at Loyola by joining the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity. My uncle was one of the original members who brought TKE to Loyola's campus in 1956, and many members of my family have joined since. This was the catalyst for my drive to do well not only in my studies, but also in the service to my community.
Do you think Loyola has been a rewarding experience? How?
There is no question in my mind that Loyola has changed my life for the better. Before I came to Loyola I had only a vague idea of what I wanted to do with my life and I was in no way involved with my community. Now, with all the opportunities and chances Loyola has given me, I have taken full advantage and given my life a new purpose and meaning.
What do you think differentiates Loyola from other universities?
Loyola is very centered around its values. As the leader of a values-based organization, I noticed that it is one thing to say you follow values and morals, but it is another to actually let those values and ideals permeate everything you do. Loyola, in every facet of the University, lets these values dominate their planning, actions, and lives in such a positive way that no other university can hope to match.
What advice would you give students about how to get the best out of their education?
If you want to attend a university that truly inspires leaders and doers, then Loyola is for you. If you don't want to get involved, if you don't want to do something greater than yourself, then this University, as well as many others, will not have much to offer. For students who are already attending Loyola, get involved. There are so many opportunities and resources for students to either get involved in the community or simply better themselves, that it is a disservice to your education and future not to take advantage of them.
What was your "ah ha" moment here?
My "ah ha" moment was without a doubt when I became a member of my fraternity. It taught me about living my life in a way that betters me as a person and in doing so, making the world a better place. Since joining the fraternity, I have felt one of these life-changing moments almost every day, and I have realized so much about the world and myself at Loyola University Chicago.

I love the work of photographer George Christakis. He creates fantastic images, composing photographs into impossible landscapes that sometimes feel entirely possible and others make you feel as the lone survivor of a dream that has collapsed. In his own words:
I had scenes of people, lonely at strange environments, looking for peace, enjoying a view, or experience strange situations, without evidence of other persons. It's more like dream you have. You can explain it to others, but you can't share it, you have no evidence. At the end, you are the only one, who knows what you'd actually saw.
George Christakis is a 25 years old "image maker" as he defines himself. He was born on the mediterranean island of Crete, Greece studied Public Administration, at Panteion University of Athens, and started editing pictures during his studies: "I always had some kind of different scenes in my mind that I couldn't personally make with just a shot with my camera. Soon I've decided to spend as much time as possible to learn how can I bring such scenes onto my monitor." His first pictures were black and white, later on he tried to work with colors: "I like working with colored pictures, but I suffer from partial color blindness, so many times I don't trust my eyes."
You can follow him on his imaginary journey on his website, also on his 500px page and on Facebook.
This is part of a new series in which we are featuring futuristic, alien-looking or just plain awesome images of landscapes and cityscapes. If you are a photographer with such work, please drop me a line here.

By Martyn Herman
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal found no instant fix as a new era dawned in dispiriting fashion at Old Trafford where Swansea City's 2-1 victory on the opening day of the Premier League reopened old wounds.
United's new captain Wayne Rooney had cancelled out Ki Sung-yueng's neat goal for the visitors shortly after halftime but Gylfi Sigurdsson's late strike condemned the Old Trafford side to their first opening-day top-flight home defeat for 42 years.
"It was a disastrous start for us but we have to move on," Rooney said. "We're not happy, the manager's not happy.
"We'll have to go through what went wrong during the week. We'll do that. I thought today we didn't play as well together as a team as we can do. We have to put that right."
Arsenal, tipped as serious title contenders this term, left it late to beat managerless Crystal Palace, with Aaron Ramsey pouncing in stoppage time to earn a 2-1 victory at the Emirates after the home side had slipped behind.
Tottenham Hotspur, who finished one place above United in sixth last season, began life under new manager Mauricio Pochettino with a 1-0 win at London rivals West Ham United thanks to a stoppage-time goal from new signing Eric Dier.
Promoted Leicester City twice battled back to draw 2-2 with Everton, while West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland also shared four goals – Saido Berahino scoring twice for the hosts.
Queens Park Rangers were beaten 1-0 at home by Hull City on their return to the top flight, missing a penalty in the process, while Aston Villa earned a notable three points with a 1-0 win at Stoke City – Andreas Weimann grabbing the goal.
Champions Manchester City visit Newcastle United on Sunday after Liverpool entertain Southampton while Chelsea will travel to promoted Burnley on Monday.
A year ago almost to the day Manchester United enjoyed a comfortable victory at Swansea but it proved one of the few highlights for former manager David Moyes who was sacked in May.
After a buoyant pre-season campaign, the fans arrived on Saturday hoping new boss Van Gaal would right the wrongs of last season but the problems, notably a lack of pace and invention, returned to haunt the 20-times champions who looked vulnerable.
Van Gaal began with his favoured 3-5-2 system but changed to an orthodox 4-4-2 at halftime and on Saturday's evidence there will be lots of tinkering to come for the Dutchman who has won league titles with Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
United dominated possession in the first half but offered little attacking verve against a Swansea side content to sit deep and wait for the occasional counter-attack.
One such break saw Nathan Dyer flick the ball on to Sigurdsson down the right and the Iceland international burst forward before teeing up Ki to beat keeper David De Gea just before the half-hour mark.
When Rooney hooked in Juan Mata's corner in the 53rd minute to restore parity and then clipped the post with a curling free kick the home side looked set for a comeback victory.
However, Swansea had other ideas and Ecuadorean substitute Jefferson Montero's dangerous cross caused problems in United's unfamiliar-looking defence and the ball eventually came to Sigurdsson, back at Swansea after leaving Spurs, to fire home.
"It's more than disappointing for the fans," said Van Gaal, who was without Netherlands striker Robin van Persie through injury and the likes of defensive stalwarts Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, both of whom left in the close season.
"They are expecting a lot because we have won every game in pre-season. Then you lose the first match. That's disappointing for the fans, also for the players and also for me.
"It's a very bad day for us," he added.
Arsenal, with former Barcelona hitman Alexis Sanchez making his Premier League debut, were stunned by a Palace side reeling from the departure of manager Tony Pulis 48 hours earlier.
Brede Hangeland's glancing header gave Palace a 35th minute lead but Laurent Koscielny nodded home a free kick from Sanchez on the stroke of halftime to equalise.
Palace seemed to have earned a point with a stubborn defensive display but Welshman Ramsey tucked in a rebound after Mathieu Debuchy's shot was half-saved by Julian Speroni.
Palace had been reduced to 10 men shortly before Arsenal's late winner when Jason Puncheon received a second yellow card.
Ramsey's goal secured the day's only Premier League home win with Arsenal's relieved manager Arsene Wenger fully aware of the difficulties of winning the opening league fixture.
"If you look at the (earlier) results today, no home team won, we were the only one so it shows in the first game it is not easy to win. Our desire got us through," he said.
Results from the English premier league matches on Saturday
Arsenal 2 C.Palace 1
Leicester City 2 Everton 2
Manchester United 1 Swansea City 2
Queens Park Rangers 0 Hull City 1
Stoke City 0 Aston Villa 1
West Bromwich Albion 2 Sunderland 2
West Ham United 0 Tottenham Hotspur 1

Calculate Top Load Washer Tub capacity
This is a geometric method to calculate tub capacity based on the cylinder volume formula. Unfortunately, the value could be as much as 25% off from the manufacturer stated capacity.
Why? Because a tub is not exactly a cylinder. The edge where bottom connected to the wall is not at 90 degree angle but smooth and rounded. The water line is not clearly marked and the bottom is not always flat. Finally, an agitator also takes capacity away from the tub.
This method can be used as a crude estimate but we do not recommend using it for comparisson when shopping for a new washer.
Determine your top load washer tub capacity by taking two simple measurements:
1. Use the ruler to measure the depth of the tub (indicated by the red line on the diagram)
2. Now find the distance accross the tub, the diameter (the green line on the diagram). Note that some tubs are narrow at the opening. In this case make the measurements INSIDE the tub.
Solution:Tub Depth: in. Tub Diameter: in.
Answer:The Whirlpool Top Load Washer 7MWTW1812AW0 tub capacity is cubic feet.
DOE (Department of Energy) vs. I.E.C. (International Efficiency Consortium) tub capacity valuesThe tub capacity calculator provides result in the DOE cubic feet which are CONVENTIONAL, i.e. normal cubic feet. The front loading appliance manufacturers prefer to use IEC cubic feet in their specification. IEC capacity in a front loader is the equivalent of the laundry size of a top loading washer and usually result in a higher number. For instance, a 4.7 cu. ft EC capacity transaltes into 4.1 conventional cu. ft for some washers and into 4.2 cu. ft for others. There is no simple multiplier that can be applied to an IEC value to translate it into DOE capacity. Make sure to use the manufacturer's part number when ordering a replacement.
