Barrow Woman Indicted by Federal Grand Jury for Misapplication of Funds from Federally Funded Program
|U.S. Attorney's Office September 22, 2011
ANCHORAGE—United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced that a Barrow woman was indicted by a federal grand jury in Anchorage for wire fraud, theft, and misapplication of funds from an organization receiving federal grant funds and money laundering.
On September 22, 2011, Maggie Ahmaogak, 61, of Barrow, Alaska, was named in a four-count indictment.
According to the indictment, Ahmaogak was the executive director for the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) from 1990, until her termination in April 2007. AEWC is a non-profit organization formed in 1976, for the following purposes: to protect Eskimo subsistence whaling of bowhead whales; to protect and enhance the Eskimo culture, traditions, and activities associated with bowhead whales and subsistence bowhead whaling; and to undertake research and education related to bowhead whales. AEWC receives funding from several sources, with the majority coming from grants issued by the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to AEWC to promote its purposes. Between 2004 and April 2007, AEWC received federal grant funds from NOAA totaling approximately $2.3 million.
The indictment further alleges that from at least 2004, to April 2007, Ahmaogak stole, obtained by fraud, and misapplied approximately $475,000 of AEWC funds for her personal use.
The indictment alleges that Ahmaogak did so by using the AEWC credit card for personal expenses and cash advances; writing checks to herself on AEWC accounts; taking payroll advances that were never repaid; withdrawing cash from AEWC accounts; and making a wire transfer to her personal account from an AEWC account. It is alleged that Ahmaogak used the money to pay for gambling activities for herself and a family member in Washington State, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Las Vegas Nevada, as well as to purchase three snow machines for her personal use and to make a down payment on a Hummer vehicle for her personal use, among other things.
Assistant United States Attorneys Aunnie Steward and Joe Bottini, who presented the case to the grand jury, indicated that the law provides for a maximum total sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both on each count. Under the federal sentencing statutes, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The IRS-Criminal Investigation, the FBI, and the Department of Commerce Office of Inspector General conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

After pleading no contest to spousal battery, that skirt-chasing "Apocalypto" Octo-dad MEL GIBSON has found a new woman – a stunning beauty pageant winner no less than half his age.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner got cozy with Dani Karlsson, 26, at Drai's restaurant and nightclub in Hollywood on April 27 after she'd been partying there with girlfriends.
The 2010 Miss World Sweden was so excited about hooking up with Mel that she gloated on her blog: "Tonight I went to Drai's and I had dinner with…Mel Gibson and other fun people.
Sat for hours and talked about movies with Mel, drank loads of fruit drinks and after that, he adjusted my back and neck, which felt fantastic!"
Other patrons spotted Mel and Dani's intimate encounter and informed an Internet blogger, who posted: "Two bodyguards kept other civilians at bay while Mel directed most of his attention to a skinny young brunette.
"He spent most of the night talking to this younger girl. He was sitting really close to her and talking into her ear."
Gibson left the club with Dani around 1:30 a.m., according to eyewitnesses.
When contacted by The ENQUIRER, Mel's rep said he was unaware of any new romance.
But another source confided: "Mel's lonely and Dani's a gorgeous girl!"

Our Neolithic ancestors were a very advanced race and by about 5,000 BC had changed from their nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering. The influx of agriculturists from the East led to the more settled lifestyle based on farming communities as new skills were learned and passed on through successive generations.
Now that they had become more settled, they were able to concentrate more upon constructing buildings of a more permanent nature and potters used their skills to create bowls and containers for everyday use. Wood, stone and bone were also used to make tools. Flint became a very important material from which arrowheads and crude knives were made.
By now, the Neolithic people had developed the practice of ceremonial burial and their sense of respect for the dead led to the construction of burial mounds, known as barrows. Their sense of awe for nature, the changing seasons and the lights in the sky must have been so overwhelming that they began to construct monuments of stone, wood and earth with astronomical alignments so precise, that one cannot help but to have sincere admiration for their ingenuity.
It was at this time that our Neolithic predecessors began to construct monuments that are so well known to us todaythousands of years after they were built. Stonehenge, Avebury, Arbor Low and Castlerigg are names known by millions world-wide, thanks to our Neolithic friends!

Give me what I want and #$%$
wally, when you can come up with a "rational" (quoting you from another post) reason selfishness is irrational... I'll listen. Give me one good reason I shouldn't be selfish or shouldn't put me, myself, I and my family first.
Don't say I'm cruel to the poor. That's not a rational reason. Don't say I'm part of society and should play nice. That's also not a rational reason
I think you'll find Libertarians are actually quite generous people.
By definition libertarians are NOT generous people. The whole philosophy consists of criticizing generososity unless it generates a tax break.
Of course it's rational to say hurting people is wrong. You're either too stupid or too cruel to understand that.
It's rational to be selfish.
Just a word on the rationality of selfishness.
although the word has implied negatives in society, that negative itself is irrational.
Selfishnness or greed is nothing more than how humans deal with scarcity.
If there was no such thing as scarcity, then there could be no such thing as greed or selfishness. If all products and services were "Superabundant" then no one could be described as selfish.
but because goods are not superabundant, we must deal with scarcity. That is a system to alot the goods or a system of property rights.
There are only a couple of options for assignment of the scarce goods.
1.All Goods are owned by all people - This obviously does not work, because if everyone owned everything, the implications are obvious. It would be disaster. This is the theology of socialism, and has proven itself to be unworklable. If everyone owns everything, how does one get to consume, etc... etc,,
2. All goods are owned by select or certain people. - This is technically monarchy or oligarchy or whatever you want to call it, but again the implications are obvious. Aside from the moral problems. This is a system of corruption and it is obviously so. Or one may say, self evident
3. Goods are owned by those who produce them or homestead them (mixing labor and goods). This is the only obvious moral system to assign property. It is the lockean system that is used in a real Capitalist system.
If one rationalizes this problem out, one wi;ll quickly see that option 3 or a lockean system is the only moral system for property rights. Therefore, words like selfishness or greed tend to loose their preconceived meaning. How can I be greedy by deciding what to do with what morally belongs to me. Since this is the only moral system, how can any actions in this system be immoral.
If I keep all that I produce without giving any away (what one may call selfish) what did I actually do that was immoral?
Any argument against this, must by definition, allow theft of property, and hence by definition, be immoral.
But not to be cruel. The wise man knows the difference. The fool never will.
You can't say blank you on yahoo

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- State officials are using the approaching holiday weekend as a reminder in their campaign to prevent introduction of aquatic invasive species in Michigan.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is urging anglers and boaters to clean their boats, trailers and equipment before and after use. Many invasions have begun with organisms that hitched rides from one water body to another aboard pleasure craft.
Michigan laws prohibit placing a boat, trailer or other boating equipment into state waters with plant material attached.
Among other steps that can help prevent invasions are draining water from bilges and live wells at the ramp before leaving, disinfecting them with bleach, drying boats and equipment thoroughly before using them in a different waterway and disposing of unused bait in the trash.

Girl Drink Drunks on the Rise; Eat Out of a Wood-Burning Oven in Vinegar Hill
Also in this week's magazine: Kefi returns, make a ginger-spice cake, and stuff your stocking with bacon brittle.
In the magazine this week, Alex Morris examines the rise in alcohol use and abuse among women. The Underground Gourmet reviews Vinegar Hill House, the new Brooklyn restaurant dominated by a wood-burning oven. "It's Little House on the Prairie crossed with Freemans," writes the UG, who awarded three stars. In this week's openings, Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld preview Michael Psilakis and Donatella Arpaia's renovated Kefi; a new wine bar, Brookvin, in Park Slope; and a French gelette restaurant called Bar Breton. Rob and Robin also mapped the coffee-shop explosion in the West Village, so keep it handy if you need something hot or an emergency Wi-Fi fix. Rob and Robin also found plenty of edible stocking stuffers, from black-truffle butter to bacon brittle. Grandaisy pastry chef Peggy Jacobs shared her ginger-spice cake recipe with Rob and Robin, who also have news of a new happy-hour menu at City Bakery.

Strip clubs may not be the most politically correct venue for those attending the Republican National Convention, but that doesn't mean Tampa's well-known adult hot spots won't be ready for the influx of visitors.
One place is bringing in a stripper who looks like former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. There are major renovations taking place. And some nude clubs have already been giving potential customers a taste of the talent online.
"Not only can you see the dancers on the stage and in the dressing room, you can also talk to them in an online chat room," said Don Kleinhans, owner of the 2001 Odyssey on North Dale Mabry Highway.
By the time the RNC begins in late August, Kleinhans hopes out-of-towners will have already formed attachments to his dancers from watching them online through the Club Cam System, which the 2001 Odyssey developed.
Customers pay $4 a minute to chat on top of the monthly $19.95 membership.
"Basically, what you see in a bricks-and-mortar strip club you can now see live on the Internet," Kleinhans said.
One of the dancers, known as Go Go, hopes the software will lead to a profitable August. She chats a few times a week.
"Guys I meet online feel like we have a relationship," she said. "If someone came to town, you only had them the short amount of time … and had to part ways. Now you can still make money off them."
Thee Doll House, on North West Shore Boulevard, doesn't have webcams but its dancers are also planning to cash in during the convention.
Thee Doll House recently underwent a $1 million renovation and plans to bring in a Palin impersonator to entertain customers.
Neither club would predict how much money they would make during the convention but both expect business to more than quadruple.
Even with all the cameras turned on the area. In 2010, when the convention was awarded to Tampa, club owner Joe Redner said never mind that the GOP pitches itself as a party of family values.
"Washington, D.C., per capita, sells more bondage leather than any place else in the world," Redner, who owns the Mons Venus, told the Tribune in 2010. "Those people are kinky."
The Bay area has more than 40 strip clubs, and their already infamous reputation increased during the 2009 Super Bowl, when some clubs stayed open 24 hours and doubled or tripled the number of dancers.
The entertainers hope politics brings a bigger payday than football, assuming visitors don't mind being recognized.
"I'm really excited. I know there's going to be a ton of people here and its going to be a really fun time to work," Thee Doll House dancer Nikki Maylander said.

Supernanny Helps Family With Six Year Old With ADHD
October 17, 2008 09:00 AM by Joe Reality
In this week's episode of Supernanny, Jo Frost pays a visit to the Park family. In a Supernanny first, Jo will actually help out another nanny, who is in over her head. The Park family consists of Michael, Heather, and their three children.
The three children are six year old Kyle, four year old Farley, and two year old Pierce. Kyle suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Kyle was on medication for ADHD, but he is now off the medication, because his parents didn't feel it was working.
The children's nanny is named Alejandra. Alejandra has little control over Kyle and is unable to keep him from terrorizing his younger siblings. None of the children are good at following instructions. They sometimes disobey and take dangerous risks like playing in the swimming pool, dangling from a banister, or playing with scissors. The children not only hit each other, but they hit their parents and the nanny as well.
Jo Frost confronts Heather over taking Kyle off his medication without having an alternative plan on dealing with his behavior. Can Jo Frost help the parents and nanny get control of the children? Supernanny airs on Friday, October 17 from 9 PM to 10 PM ET on ABC.

TD trades up amid uncertainty in the Eurozone
Stuart Welch, CEO, TD Direct Investing comments:
"This week saw the volume of TD client top ten trades increase by more than 50% as investors monitored ongoing concerns that Greece could be forced out of the Eurozone. Speculation that the financially troubled nation could run out of money by next month appears to have sent shockwaves through Eurozone economies, as the FTSE 100 dropped to its lowest level since December 2011, finishing at 5465.52 on Monday 14 May.
The Top 10 TD Client Buys and Sells for week ended 14th May 2012
"The overall buy:sell ratio by TD clients was 2:1 this week, with Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited (GKP) taking top spot in both the buys and sells tables. Shares in the oil and gas explorer reached a week high of 224.75p on Friday (11 May), following an announcement that it was in talks with several potential bidders for the sale of its 20% interest in the Akri-Bijeel block in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The share price dropped to close at 197.78p on Monday (14 May) as Gulf finished the week with a buy:sell ratio of almost 1.7:1.
"Fellow oil and gas explorer Chariot Oil & Gas Limited (CHAR) appeared as a new entry in 10th place in the buys table and ninth in the sells with a buy:sell ratio of 1.7:1. Chariot's shares dropped by almost 47% during the week, finishing Monday (14 May) at 89.22p after the company announced that its Tapir South exploration well off the coast of Nambia had failed to find oil and would be plugged and abandoned.
"Elsewhere, Aviva Plc (AV.) was the fifth most popular buy among TD clients, following recent shareholder anger at the company's remuneration plans, which eventually led to the departure of the company's CEO, Andrew Moss. Following Moss' resignation announcement, shares in the British insurer reached a week high of 319p on Tuesday (8 May) but dropped back to close at 290.27p on Monday (14 May)."

Cannes kicks off today and while everyone will be keeping their eyes on the screening schedule at the Palais, the marketplace will be buzzing with new projects as wheeling and dealing is underway to get these movies moving.
One project up for grabs is "The Bleeder" set to star Liev Schreiber, his partner Naomi Watts and Christina Hendricks. Set to be directed by Jeff Feuerzeig, the filmmaker behind the excellent documentary "The Devil And Daniel Johnson," the film "is based on the true story of former New Jersey heavyweight boxer and womanizer Chuck Wepner who boxed 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali." That famous 1975 fight found Wepner able to train completely before a match for the first time in his career, but found him still handily beat by Ali. However, his gutsy performance in the fifteen round fight inspired a young guy named Sylvester Stallone who would be inspired to write a little movie called "Rocky." You can watch the fight online right here.
We presume Schreiber will take lead role, but no word yet on exactly who Watts or Hendricks will play. Jerry Stahl ("Permanent Midnight") co-wrote the script with Feuerzeig and while there is not production schedule in place, should the project pick up steam, we'd guess producers will want it to roll before Hendricks is due back on the set of "Mad Men" later this year. [Variety]

Capgemini survey finds supply chains are far from perfect when it comes to keeping customers happy
December 03, 2013
Even though supply chain professionals pride themselves on providing exemplary service and execution during this time of year in advance of the holiday season, a survey recently released by Capgemini found that there are myriad issues when it comes to keeping customers content with delivery and ordering processes.
Entitled the "Supply Chain Impact," the survey was commissioned by Capgemini and conducted online by KRC Research. It polled 1,000 consumers and 150 United States-based senior supply chain managers at retail, consumer products, and distribution companies with at least $1 billion in global revenue.
Given the heightened demand for perfect order delivery and always-available inventory—during the holiday season—83 percent of the survey's supply chain respondents indicated that it is challenging to adequately plan for supply chain capacity to address peak requirements for timely fluctuations in demand, with only 21 percent noting their systems do an excellent job of providing accurate real time insights into supply chain performance.
Kavitha Krishnarao, Capgemini Director, Supply Chain Services, said that holiday season activity can place a heightened emphasis on supply chain operations, which is expected and requires advanced planning. But at the same time, she noted that alone is often not enough, considering that 31 percent of supply chain respondents said the top executives at their respective companies have little concern about supply chain-related issues impacting revenue or profitability during the holiday shopping season. And 80 percent indicated that consumer expectations for on–time delivery of ordered products has gone up in the last five years.
The survey also found that 86 percent of supply chain respondents cited having the right processes that can respond to volatile consumer demand in real time as a major challenge in maintaining seamless supply chain operations.
"Demand planning is a key process in this respect, especially during the holiday season," said Krishnarao. "This is evident when it comes to things like stock-outs for the most popular items people are buying. Another factor has to do with back end processes relating to the supply chain in terms of how facilities and warehouses are set up and able to respond to things like stock outs. Design processes, warehouse processes and existing demand planning…are important in providing on-time, consistent service."
Out-of-stock and order fulfillment issues can severely impact consumer behavior in negative ways for the supply chain, according to the survey, including:
-89 percent of U.S. consumers said they are likely to shop with another retailer in the future if an item is delivered late;
-73 percent said they would purchase from a different store than originally intended if they were unable to find an item they wanted in stock this holiday season, and 29 percent would not purchase the item at all; and
-54 percent of supply chain respondents say supply chain issues have had a negative impact on company revenue or profitability in recent years

From Rita's Kitchen: A Simple and Easy Salad
I had small group here last night which was a small 19 (When we started out at 8 so it has grown in the last few months). I think they just like to eat. LOL. Well I decided to have a cook out because the weather was so nice…can you believe 70 middle week, I think I will barbecue some ribs out side.
I fixed this salad that I love to fix when I cook out. This salad is so refreshing and GOOD.
Every cook knows that when you cut up vegetables your hands are going to smell like them. Last year when I had my missionaries here. Diana said, "Wash your hands with a little bit of bleach and bleach is better then the smell of veggies on your hands…and it did work."
Last night. Rick Wright one of our small group members, him and his wife are dear people and she is a wonderful cook! Well he took a butter knife out of the drawer and told me to rub the butter knife in between my hands with cold running water. WOW it worked no more veg smell and no harsh chemicals! I was so thankful for that info. You never get to old to learn I guess. Well here is the recipe if you want to try it…It is wonderful and so easy and no cooking.
2 green mango's
1 large onion
2 cucumbers

There are fans who want to go into their superhero movies cold, and those that don't, and for the latter, it must be difficult to resist the temptation to check out the marketing materials in the run-up to a movie. Especially for followers of the Marvel-verse, as the studio does blanket marketing better than most, and they are certainly picking up momentum with about a month to go until "Thor: The Dark World."
The first clip has landed this afternoon from the movie, though no spoilers here. It's an extended sequence we've seen from the trailers, with Chris Hemsworth's Thor seeing the assistance of his detained brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who you might remember, nearly wiped out New York City and the world in "The Avengers." There's no trust to be had between the pair, but the Hammer-wielding hero needs his help. After that is a featurette, which takes you through the shooting locations, and if you're interested, followed by some character posters.
"Thor: The Dark World" arrives on November 8th. [Bleeding Cool/ComingSoon]

Date of Stay: July, 2009
We found this campground to be very delightful. Very quiet, very well shaded, and very clean. (One camper even commented that you could eat in the bath house if you wanted to.) The family that owns the campground is friendly and gracious. It rained every night, and some days, while we were there, but drainage was not a problem in the sites or anywhere in the campground that we saw. We stayed there for four nights the end of July, 09. We had planned to stay three nights, but enjoyed it so much we added another night. This may not be the place for a family with children that need a lot of stimulation, but there is a pool, playground a rec room and there were several children camping that seemed to be having a lot of fun. But, if you want a quiet place to rest and relax, this is it! We enjoyed the campground so much that we have already made our reservations for next summer. (It is very handy if you are interested in the World's Longest Garage Sale on Highway 127). We thought the $27 fee was very reasonable.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We were very disappointed in this park. The staff was friendly and helpful but that does not make up for the campground. The loop roads were narrow, full of potholes, and many tight turns. The sites were small and close together, some having very little space around the camper. Our site was level front to back, but very unlevel side to side - this was surprising as the site was blacktopped. The site and campground (Loop M) was clean, but the bathhouse was not. One of the toilets was running for the three nights we were there and there was an elastic hair band in the shower for the same amount of time. It was too much money ($40 a night) for what you get. Perhaps the biggest problem is that the campground is not designed for rain. While we do not mind the rain, staying in a campground that becomes a gully in raining weather is not to be desired. We were unable to be outside when it was not raining as our site became a giant mud puddle with debris from up the hill. This might be convenient if you want to spend time in the park, but we won't be staying there again.

The most recent version of how the name Ann Arbor was chosen by John Allen, one of its founders, is provided by Russell Bidlack, in his book, Ann Arbor's First Lady: Events in the Life of Ann I. Allen (published by the Bentley Historical Library in 1998). In that book, Dr. Bidlack states that Ann Arbor was named in honor of John Allen's wife, Ann:
"Named in her honor five months before Ann's arrival, his having rejected 'Allensville' and 'Annapolis' as possibilities, John Allen, the town's principal founder, had chosen the word 'arbour' to follow his wife's first name, it being commonly used in Virginia for a bower of trees. In Michigan Territory, arbour seemed appropriate to describe the setting of sunshine and shadow produced by the scattered oaks in the 'opening.' In so doing, he created a place name that would remain unique. Recorded officially for the first time in a plat map of the village on May 25, 1824, the name was written 'Annarbour,' but thereafter it appeared as two words. The Allens insisted throughout their lives, however, on the pre-Webster spelling of arbor." (p. vi)
Some previous writers on the naming of Ann Arbor suggested that it was named for both of the wives of the founders, Ann Allen and Mary Ann Rumsey. Russell Bidlack himself, in an earlier 1962 publication, John Allen and the Founding of Ann Arbor, said:
"There can be little doubt that Allen and Rumsey chose the name 'Ann' because Allen's wife bore the name and because Mrs. Rumsey was generally called Ann, although her full name was Mary Ann."
In the 1998 book, Russell Bidlack notes in passing, "Rumsey's wife had the middle name Ann, but she was not called by that name."
Most earlier versions credit both wives and even suggest that Mary Ann Rumsey was more involved since she was present at the time and Ann Allen did not arrive until five months later. The version of the naming given by O. W. Stephenson in Ann Arbor: The First Hundred Years (1927) is:
"Some time about the middle of May, when the leaves were unfolding, Mary Anne Rumsey was sitting in an arbor of wild grapevines which ran up over a plum tree near the bank of Allen's Creek, just south of Huron street, and a hundred feet or more west of First street. Both Allen and Rumsey had spent some time in making this arbor more beautiful and for a time it had been their home. Mrs. Rumsey was wont to sew in this arbor and to wash clothes in a huge iron cauldron nearby. One day, perhaps soon after the survey was made, when John Allen was searching for a name for his town, he approached the arbor where Mrs. Rumsey was sitting and, lifting his hat, remarked with a smile, 'My! What a restful place you have here; what do you call it?' Mrs. Rumsey resplied, 'This is Ann's Arbor; don't you think that is a good name for the place?' John Allen agreed that it was a good name for not only that particular spot but for the whole place he and Mr. Rumsey had lately surveyed. He saw in the name a way of honoring Mrs. Rumsey and his own wife, and rushed off to find Mr. Rumsey to solicit his opinion. Rumsey was struck with the name and the two men decided none could be better. It was duly recorded on their plat, therefore, and so it appeared May 25 when the plat was recorded in Detroit." (p. 38)
Wystan Stevens, in his charming brochure, The Naming of Ann Arbor (1974) (underwritten by the Ann Arbor Bank), addressed this particular conception of the arbor portion of the name:
"Many present-day residents are still confused about the origin of the name which Rumsey and Allen chose for the village. A persistent myth would persuade us that their wives, both named Ann, were a leisured pair who whiled away the warm afternoons sewing and exchanging gossip in the shade of a wild grape arbor built for them by indulgent husbands.
"It is a very romantic legend, to be sure. But Allen and the Rumseys arrived in February, and we know that the name 'Ann Arbor' had already had been chosen by May 25, only three months later, when it was recorded at the office of the Register of Deeds in Detroit.
"Spring weather in these parts is notoriously bad for gossiping in arbors. Nor was there much yet to gossip about. The husbands were too busy surveying their village and selling lots to spend time building anything frivolous. Grapes weren't yet in season. And Ann Allen -- the other Ann -- didn't arrive until October, five months after Ann Arbor was named."
In another passage in his book, Dr. Bidlack says Ann Arbor's first historian, Mary Clark, writing in 1863, correctly explained the choice of arbor:
"It was called 'Arbor' on account of the noble aspect of the original site of the village - which was a burr oak opening, resembling an arbor laid out and cultivated by the hand of taste."
John Allen spelled the name 'Annarbour.' But Russell Bidlack explains in his latest book:
"While map-maker Judd spelled the name 'Annarbour,' and Governor Cass wrote it as two words, John Sheldon inserted a hyphen between Ann and Arbour. The Governor's choice became standard, except for the gradual acceptance of Noah Webster's 'American' spelling of arbor, i.e., arbor, although neither John nor Ann ever made the change."
Cities of the United States (Gale Research, 3rd. ed., 1998) cites another theory of the naming:
"According to an unsubstantiated story, however, the settlement was named after a mysterious young woman guide named Ann D'Arbeur who lead parties from Detroit westward into the wilderness as early as 1813." (vol.3, p.189)
Of these various versions, the documentary evidence supports Dr. Bidlack's explanation of how John Allen chose the name Ann Arbor.

Old Northwest - The "Old Northwest" became the first possession of the United States through the Treaty of Paris with Great Britain, which ended the American Revolution in 1783, the area known as the "Old Northwest" was organized as the Northwest Territory and it considered of what are now the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. Ownership of this area of the then young United States included land bordering the Great Lakes. The ownership and use of this land was a continuing source of friction between the British and their Native American allies and the U.S. The war of 1812 between Great Britain and the U.S. was fought in large part because of the disputed ownership of the Northwest Territory.
Masonry - Refers to the largest secret society in the world, formally known as the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons." The Masons (or Freemasons as they are also known) are not governed by any central authority. Authority is divided among many national organizations around the world called "grand lodges." Religious tolerance, loyalty to local government and political compromise were basic to the beliefs of the Masons. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and other Revolutionary War leaders were Masons. Despite its popularity, the organization remains a controversial among some religions and governments. The name "Mason" comes from "stonemason," a person who is skilled in building structures (such as a cathedral made out of stone). Membership is no longer limited to stonemasons. Masonry as a secret order dates back to 14th century England and Scotland.

Fort Sumter - This U.S. fort was built on a large sandbar, also known as a shoal, at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. In 1860, the South Carolina government passed a law to withdraw (or secede) South Carolina from the United States of America. After seceding from the U.S.A., South Carolina demanded that the Federal government turn over all U.S. property to the state. By 1861, South Carolina joined the new Confederate States of America, which was made up of 11 southern states. On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces fired cannon on Fort Sumter, which the Federal government refused to give to the Confederates. The two-day battle over Fort Sumter was the first violent act of war between the United States and the Confederate States, a conflict which came to be known as the Civil War. On April 14, the Federal commander surrendered Fort Sumter to the Confederate army. The fort remained in Confederate hands until near the end of the Civil War in April-May 1865.
Confectionery - A store that sells candy or pastry.
Abolitionist - A person who does not believe in slavery and wants to abolish or destroy it completely.
Booming - When the members of the Businessmen's Association of Ann Arbor said the purpose of the taxes were for "booming the city," they wanted to use the tax money to publicize the good points about Ann Arbor and to attract more businesses to the city. This is also called "boosterism," meaning an attempt to cause rapid settlement and growth of a city or town.
Alderman - "Alderman" is a word that we have borrowed from the English and Irish. In this country, an alderman is part of a city's legislative body. We now call this our City Council and its members are called councilmen and councilwomen.
Macademized - "Macademized" refers to a type of road construction where workers crush small broken stones into a compact mass and then use cement or asphalt to bring the stones together tightly so the stones will stick together. The result is a smooth, protective surface on the road. These kinds of roads replaced dirt roads or sometimes roads made out of wooden planks.
Prohibition - The word "prohibition" here refers to a movement to prohibit the manufacture, sale or transportation of alcoholic beverages (for example, beer, wine, whiskey and other liquor). In the late 19th century, political parties like the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibition Party promoted legislation and constitutional changes to stop the production of drinks made from alcohol. They finally succeeded in 1919 when the states approved the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which officially forbid (or "prohibited") the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic drinks. The 18th Amendment was repealed (or "overturned") in 1933 when the states approved the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Temperance - Unlike those who believed in the total prohibition of alcoholic drinks, there were others who believed in the moderate use of alcohol. These people belonged to the "temperance" movement. They even recommended wine and beer as replacements for hard liquor. The temperance movement in the United States began in the late 19th century but by the Civil War many leaders of the temperance movement backed total prohibition of alcohol.
Milling - This is a business that grinds grain, such as wheat, into flour. The Ann Arbor area had many mills in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Cooperage - A "cooper" is a person who makes or repairs wooden barrels, casks, or tubs. The "cooperage" is the cooper's place of business.
Liveries - A "livery" is a place to feed, stable, and care for horses, and sometimes it is a place that rents horses out to customers for short periods of time. Because of the popularity of the automobile in the early 20th century, by 1919 Ann Arbor had no more liveries.
Vaudeville - This was a type of stage entertainment in a theater. A "vaudeville" show would include many different and unrelated acts by singers, dancers, comedians, acrobats, and actors. Vaudeville shows were replaced by movies as the most popular form of entertainment.
Polyscope - This was an early optical device used to show motion pictures or what we now call movies. One of the largest of the companies using this device was the Selig Polyscope Co., which became among the first movie companies to move, in 1908, to Los Angeles to take advantage of the mild climate and sunshine which were necessary for making movies all year long when filmmaking was mostly done outdoors.
Kinetoscope - The "kinetoscope" was a device for watching moving pictures. In 1893, Thomas Alva Edison and his staff developed and marketed the kinetoscope, which became very popular in penny arcades. People would watch the moving pictures through a special viewer, leading them to call these "peep shows."
Teutonic - A word used to indicate Germanic people or culture. It comes from the Teutons, who were an ancient people who spoke a language now classified as belonging to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family.
The Great War - World War I, fought from 1914 to 1918 mostly in Europe, was known as "The Great War," partly because it was the largest war the world had yet experienced.
Doughboys - A word used for American infantrymen, especially in World War I. Originally, a "doughboy" was a small, round donut. Early in the Civil War, the word was applied to the large brass buttons on the soldier's uniforms, which looked like donuts. Eventually, the infantrymen themselves were called "doughboys."
Pandemic - A disease that breaks out over a wide geographic area and affects a large percentage of the population.

The Ann Arbor District Library, the University of Michigan University Library and the U-M's Bentley Historical Library have entered into a partnership to create The Making of Ann Arbor, an online, public website on the history and development of the Ann Arbor community. MOAA is an illustrated narrative about Ann Arbor from its pioneer days when it was part of Michigan Territory to the early twentieth century. The project draws upon the three libraries' resources and the expertise of all three partners to build a website of interest to the citizens of Ann Arbor. In addition to the illustrated narrative history of our city, the website has a searchable image database, including many photographs and other visual images not used in the narrative.
The partners view their initial collaborative efforts as laying a foundation for an ongoing, evolving project about the history of Ann Arbor from the 1820s to the present. In envisioning future plans, we plan to add more narrative to bring the city's history forward in time, to contribute additional historical materials in digital form, and to extend our partnership by seeking other collaborators in the community who will enrich the site with historical narratives, photographs, and other materials about Ann Arbor, its people, businesses, and organizations.
To take on this digital project, three elements were required: historical content, technical skills in the digital arena, and experience and expertise in working with a wide and diverse public. Over the years, the three partner institutions collectively have accumulated a rich documentary and visual history of Ann Arbor and surrounding areas; the institutions have developed a strong staff expert in working in the digital arena; and they have each interacted with students at all levels, local history enthusiasts, and other citizens interested in the forces and events that have defined Ann Arbor. Each partner has made invaluable contributions to The Making of Ann Arbor.
The Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan was founded in 1935 by the U-M Board of Regents with the double task of documenting the history of the state of Michigan and the activities of its people, organizations, and associations as well as documenting the history of the University of Michigan. Over the past six and a half decades, the library has accumulated and made available for research more than 40,000 linear feet of historical documents, 1.5 million photographs and other visual materials, 55,000 books, thousands of historical maps and other documentation about Michigan. Ann Arbor is well represented in the library's collections on North Campus and are available to all citizens.
The Bentley's role in the pilot project was to provide the content, the images and narrative used to tell the story of The Making of Ann Arbor. The narrative is based on a Bentley publication prepared in 1974 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Ann Arbor. The Pictorial History of Ann Arbor, 1824-1974 served as the basis for this online project. The illustrated history is divided into seven chapters based on time periods in the city's development. Bentley staff have expanded upon the original publication by finding additional images and historical documents for the website.
The University of Michigan's University Library is one of the nation's leaders in digital initiatives. The University Library's Digital Library has undertaken a national role in devising methods to control, manage, and present digitized texts and visual images. Through cost-effective use of information technology, the Digital Library staff has taken unique historical documentation and converted it to digital form to make it more accessible.
The University of Michigan's University Library Digital Library Initiatives (DLI) program is supported by several core partner organizations with additional project support from a variety of foundations, government agencies, and campus units. The program uniquely draws upon the complementary expertise of library and technology organizations, and is considered a premier program nationally. Partners include the University Library, the School of Information, the Information Technology Division, and the Media Union.
Launched in 1993, the program has evolved into a base-funded, campus-wide program in the development and maintenance of digital resources. DLI focuses on:
As part of its outreach to the community and in the interest of making valuable historical materials widely accessible, the DLI contributed its technical expertise and equipment to the MOAA project. DLI staff created digital versions of the photos, drawings and printed materials that make up MOAA. It also used the methods it has developed in its Image Services (http://images.umdl.umich.edu) to put these materials online and to make their descriptions searchable, as well as providing panning and zooming tools to work with the images.
The third component of this joint venture is the Ann Arbor District Library. While the Bentley acted as the content provider for the website and the University Library contributed its technical skills in digitizing text and images and developing powerful search engines to make the site work, the Ann Arbor Public Library was responsible for the design and management of the "Making of Ann Arbor" Web site. The Library team (including librarians and members of the Technical Services and Information Access and Systems departments) is also responsible for developing descriptive information to assist users searching and browsing the site. Most of this information, hidden in the coding of a specific text or image file, consists of keywords and phrases that describe the content or define the context of that file. This information allows users to search by subject, such as business, sports, or transportation; proper names, such as Ann Allen or Lewis Cass; and image type, such as posters or portraits. Subjects and keywords have been assigned based on the anticipated searching patterns of a wide variety of users.
Through this initial phase of the project, Ann Arbor's citizens will have an opportunity to connect with the rich historical documentation on the history of the city and to the university that has preserved these materials over many decades. We seek the help of the Ann Arbor community in the next phases of development. We welcome critical assessment of the content and presentation of The Making of Ann Arbor and contributions of additional ideas for the site's expansion and improvement.

- RBI monetary policy review meet hikes interest rate: Read full statement by Governor Raghuram G. RajanBSE Sensex rebounds 127 pts after RBI monetary policy review hikes rate, ICICI Bank, SBI shares upRBI monetary policy review: Retail inflation to remain above 9 pctRaghuram Rajan-effect: Sensex surges 359 points, hits 3-year high as ICICI Bank, SBI shares skyrocket
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday stayed focused on taming inflation, raising the key repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.75% while simultaneously taking the sting out of the rate hike by easing liquidity and unwinding special measures intended to support the rupee.
The central bank also pared its GDP growth projection for the current year to 5% from 5.5% and, for the first time, offered a projection for consumer price inflation (CPI), saying it expects CPI to remain around or even above 9% in the months ahead, absent policy action.
Explaining his policy stance, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan /b> said it was important to break the spiral of rising price pressures in order to curb the erosion of financial savings and strengthen the foundations of growth. Curbing mounting inflationary pressures and managing inflation expectations will help strengthen the environment for growth by fostering macroeconomic and financial stability. The Reserve Bank will closely monitor inflation risk while being mindful of the evolving growth dynamics, Rajan said.
The RBI believes better exports along with an uptick in some services and agriculture could support a pick-up in growth in the second half of FY14. It also expects the revival of large stalled projects to buoy investment activity towards the close of the year.
Bankers comments on the direction of interest rates were cautious. Arundhati Bhattacharya, chairperson, State Bank of India (SBI), said: I think there will be some change in rates. Which way and what, you will have to wait for the ALCO meetings to happen. Bhattacharya confirmed the banks ALCO would meet over the next 24 hours.
The cost of funds would have gone up over the last three months and as we are now going back to the normal monetary policyover a period of time, it would come down, Aditya Puri, MD and CEO, HDFC Bank, observed.
While the RBI chose not to give a clearer guidance of future rate action, another round of interest rate hikes is not being ruled out. What we have said is that we are comfortable with where we are based on the environment we see as well as the projections we have made on the evolving path of the economy. Going forward, if the data comes in any different stronger or weaker obviously, we will have to take steps accordingly, the governor said.

Photo by Staff Sgt. Adelita Mead
Local Vietnamese men assisting the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the Vietnam Office for Seeking Missing Persons, make their way up a mountain in Binh Dinh province, Vietnam, March 15, 2012, where they are working hard to help the joint Vietnamese/U.S. recovery team locate remains or other evidence that can help identify a soldier missing from the Vietnam Conflict. JPAC's mission is to conduct global search, recovery and laboratory operations to identify unaccounted-for Americans from past conflicts in order to support the Department of Defense's personnel accounting efforts.

Sick Katrina Kaif advised complete bed rest
It happened while Katrina was busy dubbing for her latest film Rajneeti by Prakash Jha. The makers of the film just couldn't help but stop the dubbing, as the doctors have advised complete bed rest to the actress for a few days.
Katrina"s business manager said that Katrina has been advised complete bed rest in spite of her tight schedule. He added that she is apologetic and guilty about not being able to announce the Filmfare Awards. He went on to say that she would recover completely in a couple of days.
Well, Katrina should take good care of her health!

Jackson was just 10-years-old when he joined the long running soap-opera, and over his 6-year run on the soap in the 90s he received three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actor. His boyish good looks and his beautiful blue eyes made him a regular feature in teeny bopper magazines of the 90's. Among other projects, he also starred in 1994's Camp Nowhere and in 1998 he guest starred in two episodes of the T.G.I.F. favorite, Boy Meets World. In 1999 he left General Hospital, to pursue films, most notably starring as the charming and immortal Jesse Tuck, alongside Alexis Bledel in 2001's Tuck Everlasting.

Southcoast Hospitals are among the first hospitals in New England to use a new less-invasive procedure to harvest the radial artery for use during cardiac bypass surgery, reducing pain and scar size and lowering infection risk in heart surgery patients.
During cardiac bypass surgery a healthy blood vessel from the arm, leg or chest is used to reroute blood around the blockage.
The new procedure, called endoscopic radial artery harvesting, only requires one small incision, lessening pain and lessening the risk of infection and scarring. Presently offered for the leg, Southcoast now offers the same less invasive procedure for the arm.
"In the past it was necessary to make a long incision to take a vein from the leg or an artery from the arm. Patients complained after the surgery about the pain and permanent scarring, and occasional infection," said Thomas Carr, MD, Director of Cardiac Surgery for Southcoast Hospitals Group.
"At Charlton we perform endoscopic vein harvesting on the leg which requires only one small incision instead of a long incision. Recent advances in technology and advanced training now make it possible to use the same less-invasive technique on the arm.
"Patients no longer have to walk around with scars that run the entire length of their leg or from their wrist to their elbow after cardiac surgery."
Three honored with inaugural Trustees' Medal
Southcoast's Boards of Trustees have announced the recipients of the prestigious Southcoast Trustees' Medal for Outstanding Service.
The Southcoast Trustees' Medal is presented to individuals who have shown exemplary service, selfless giving and commitment to the goals and mission of the health system and hospitals.
"The Southcoast Trustees' Medal for Outstanding Service is considered the very highest honor the Southcoast Boards can bestow — one that marks a lifetime of selfless giving and commitment to the health care of our communities," said Gilbert L. Shapiro, MD, Chairman of the Southcoast Health System Board.

ASHLAND, Ore — A portable toilet that was installed last year on a trial basis to help homeless people will remain downtown indefinitely.
Ashland city councilors voted earlier this week to keep the portable toilet in place. It's near the Ashland Community Development Department building, not far from Lithia Park.
With Ashland's public rest rooms closing as early as 4 p.m., homeless people had few bathroom options at night, resulting in public urination and defecation.
Last year, councilors approved a one-year trial period for the downtown portable toilet.
Since then, the toilet has experienced moderate use and some episodes of vandalism, including graffiti, burn marks and a key broken off in a toilet paper holder.
The annual cost for the toilet is about $1,800, according to the city. That's less than the estimated $8,000 cost of leaving a public rest room open all night and paying for added custodial work and vandalism repairs.
Keeping a public rest room open at night also could endanger innocent users because someone with criminal intentions could lurk inside. There's nowhere to hide inside a portable toilet, said Ashland Parks and Recreation Director Don Robertson.

Turntable.fm inks licensing deals with all four major record labels
Digital music service Turntable.fm has completed licensing deals with all four major record labels, vaulting the startup out of legal limbo and setting the stage for international expansion.
Turntable.fm enables users to share music in virtual "rooms" populated by their friends and other listeners
Turntable.fm--currently available across several platforms including Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS--enables users to share music in virtual "rooms" populated by their friends and other listeners; each DJ takes a turn playing a song, and everyone in the room gets a vote on the track's quality, complete with comment functionality. Songs that receive too many negative votes are skipped, while DJs who spin popular tracks can earn points and build fan followings. Users have created more than 130 Turntable.fm streams over the last nine months.
In the absence of label licensing deals, Turntable.fm obtained its music through a third-party and operated under a provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act granting flexibility to "non-interactive" streams and channels that deliver music programmed by someone other than the listener. The Turntable.fm model skirted the limits of the rule by incorporating DJ selections.
Partnering with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI Music resolve questions about the service's legality, Turntable.fm chairman Seth Goldstein told The New York Times. "Basically this means we're legitimate," Goldstein said. "There are no eggshells, no wondering whether or not what we're doing is viable as it relates to rights holders." The deals also allow Turntable.fm to move outside its native U.S. market and collaborate with labels and artists on marketing efforts. Goldstein added that the company is also at work to close similar agreements with music publishers.
Turntable.fm released version 2.1 of its iPhone application late last month. The update adds direct integration with Apple's iTunes, enabling consumers to purchase songs they discover through the app--a potentially significant revenue stream for Turntable.fm moving forward.

At the most basic level, Unified Communications, or UC for short, happens any time one of your communications tools becomes "aware" of any of your other communications tools. If your phone has a built in directory that you can browse to find someone's phone number, that's UC. If your calendar application has a button to add teleconference joining instructions to a meeting invite, that's UC. If your voice mail system sends you an email with an audio file of a recorded message attached, that's UC. If you can click a link and seamlessly join a meeting using voice, video, and web…that's UC.
If you let your imagination go down this track, it could go in many different directions. So let's do some categorizing and grouping to build a vocabulary that will allow us to answer "what is UC?" in one concise sentence:
Anything that does the job of a phone
First, anything that allows you to talk to someone else in real time using your voice is a component of unified communications. Lots of people want to limit this to Voice over IP, or IP Telephony, but I reject this as unnecessarily limiting – we'll stick to a 'user experience' perspective for now and ignore any discussion of how the voice gets from one person to another.
Non-real time messaging
Next, let's take everything that involves non-real time voice, text, image, or multimedia message transmission between people and call that "Messaging". In this bucket I would include instant messaging (IM), email, fax, voice mail, and texting.
Multi-party real time communications
As the third category, let's take anything that involves multi-party real time communications, whether it be audio conferencing, video conferencing, web conferencing, or all three, and call it "Conferencing and Collaboration."
Presence and availability
Finally, we have "Presence," which is that thing that allows you to see who is available and perhaps even give you shades of just how available they are.
Now that we have those terms, we can answer the question. What is UC? Well, UC is Telephony, unified with Messaging, Unified with Conferencing and Collaboration, and enabled by Presence. It really is that simple.
UC can be something you get piece by piece over time, or something that you get all at once. Either way, UC is a key springboard to the next big buzzword, namely "communications-enabled business practices", or CEBP. You heard it here first, and believe me you're going to need it. Along the way is this thing called UC, and so UC is something your business needs to have a strategy for. Because many businesses and business people cannot afford, either in terms of dollars, in terms of focus, or in terms of information technology priority, to bite off the whole UC thing all at once, next time I will talk a little bit about ways you can grab big chunks of UC without a big budget or a big project.

(Flower) Watering Hole
Ditmas Park's latest bar is hidden behind a … flower shop?
Our favorite hidden (yes, literally hidden!) gem on Cortelyou Road is still the tiny Tibetan spot accessible via a deli, but the folks behind the Farm on Adderley have just added another one. Sycamore (no relation to Huckleberry) is a small bar that's tucked behind a flower shop (haven't seen that one before) and it boasts a back garden, lesser-known beers, and a vintage jukebox stocked with 45's.

This report summarizes responses from insurance companies to a survey on climatechange risks developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). In 2013, insurance regulators in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, NewYork and Washington required insurers writing in excess of $100 million in direct written premiums, and licensed to operate in any of the five states, to disclose their climate- related risks using this survey.
The aim of the survey, and Ceres' analysis of the responses, is to provide regulators, insurers, investors and other stakeholders with substantive information about the risks insurers face from climate change and the steps insurers are taking — or are not taking — to respond to those risks. Because virtually every large insurer operates in at least one of the mandatory climate risk disclosure states, this analysis effectively opens a window into the entire industry. The report distills key findings and industry trends, and includes company specific scores based on disclosed actions taken to manage climate risks. It also offers recommendations for insurers and regulators to improve the insurance sectors' overall management of climate change risks.]]>
This paper presents a four-stage strategic planning framework tested and refined in workshops along with the diverse ideas and innovations identified by workshop participants. The approach is proposed for use as a second stage of climate adaptation planning, following the completion of local vulnerability and risk assessments.]]>
This document distils the key priorities that emerged from the workshop series for collaborative action between key urban resiliency stakeholders to build climate resilience in cities.]]>
When we examine the full costs of public programs that pay for disaster relief and recovery from extreme weather events—ad hoc disaster assistance appropriations, flood insurance, crop insurance, wildfire protection, and state run "residual market" insurance programs—we can begin to understand the price to U.S. taxpayers of inaction on climate change.
As the frequency and severity of extreme weather events intensify with the effects of climate change, our federal and state disaster relief and insurance programs will become increasingly unsustainable as losses from such events increase. The net present value of the federal government's liability for unfunded disaster assistance over the next 75 years could be greater than the net present value of the unfunded liability for the Social Security program.
Boosting our resiliency to today's extreme weather events is an urgent priority. Investing concurrently in forward-looking measures that over time will reduce the climate-altering carbon emissions contributing to extreme weather is essential to our long-term physical and economic well-being.

Rating agency Goldman Sachs has upgraded Dish TV stock to 'buy' from 'neutral' with a target price of Rs 95 as it believes that the company is well placed to show a cumulative average growth rate of 30 percent and 64 percent in revenues and operational profit, respectively, over FY11-14.
We estimate Dish to turn net profit positive in (Q3) FY12 and (free cash flow) positive in (Q1) FY13. In addition, faster-than-expected migration from analog to digital platform and better-than-expected market share of DTH/Dish could lead to upside risk to our estimates, said Goldman Sachs.
It also believes consensus has not yet discounted the turnaround in earnings due to mandatory digitisation and improving margins.
At 9:39 a.m., Dish TV stock was trading at 77.2 rupees, up 1.5 percent.

Yes, im totally an Aboriginal. I dance around a campfire each night, live off of the land and utilise my hand carved didgeridoo as an instrument of annoyance which has already gotten me blacklisted by several tribes (including my own). Recently my fellow bush Aboriginals have all wanted to abandon the ancient ways of the Dreamtime and adopt the life of the city Aboriginal, living on the dole, smoking all day and issuing death threats to Centrelink staff, which quite frankly outrages me. But other than the latter mentioned, I live a great life in the Aussie outback. Envy me.
sounds like a fascinating life
make excuses to ban me for something that didnt happen

Thanks for the answers, Pikatwo.
