The Elusiveness of Tolerance: The "Jewish Question" from Lessing to the Napoleonic Wars
University of North Carolina Press, 1997 - Literary Criticism - 189 pages
Peter Erspamer explores the 'Jewish question' in German literature from Lessing's Nathan der Weise in 1779 to Sessa's Unser Verkehr in 1815. He analyzes the transition from an enlightened emancipatory literature advocating tolerance in the late eighteenth century to an anti-Semitic literature with nationalistic overtones in the early nineteenth century. Erspamer examines Nathan in light of Lessing's attempts to distance himself from the excesses of his own Christian in-group through pariah identification, using an idealized member of an out-group religion as a vehicle to attack the dominant religion. He also focuses on other leading advocates of tolerance and explores changes in Jewish identity, particularly the division of German Jewry into orthodox Jews, adherents of the Haskalah, and converted Jews. The tolerance discourse ended with the Napoleonic incursions into Germany, when nationalism was on the rise and Judaism came to be viewed in racial as well as religious terms.

Whoops! ESPN SportsCenter Reports Fiesta Bowl Win… While Game is Still Being Played
With two minutes left in the Fiesta Bowl, someone on the SportsCenter social media staff published a Facebook update proclaiming Oregon the winner over Kansas State. Oops.
"De'Anthony Thomas exploded for 195 all-purpose yards in Oregon's Fiesta Bowl win. LIKE if Thomas is the most exciting player in college football."
The update was pulled from Facebook within minutes, but not before being seen by thousands of SportsCenter's 6.5 million Facebook fans. To be fair, who among us has not fallen victim to an itchy trigger finger and published a Facebook post before we should have?
This probably would have been a bigger deal if Kansas State had somehow managed to come back and beat Oregon after the post went up, but no such luck - Oregon wrapped up the game with a 35-17 win over KS, highlighted by the 195 total yards from De'Anthony Thomas, the subject of the Facebook faux pas.
All of that being said, what is probably more interesting is the photo that SportsCenter Facebook Fans would have seen if checking from their mobile device.
At first glance, this may seem like one of the more racist things you've seen all day, but if you were to click through to the full image, you would have seen this:
Leave a comment and tell us which do you think is a bigger screw up, the early post, or the mis-cropped photo?

Singer Bruno Mars is still haunted by his 2010 drug bust in Las Vegas, insisting he has to "try every day to forget" the scandal.
The star ran into trouble with the law when a bathroom attendant at the Hard Rock Hotel in Sin City called cops to report the star's drug-taking.
Mars is said to have told officers it was his first time using drugs when he was allegedly caught with a bag of cocaine, and now admits the arrest still weighs heavy on his conscience.
In a candid interview with GQ magazine, he says, "I don't know where that (story about it being my first time) came from. I was really intoxicated. I was really drunk. So a lot of that is a big blur, and I try every day to forget and keep pushing."
When asked why he was grinning in his police mugshot, Mars replied, "I have no idea… It was a picture."
Mars was placed on probation and ordered to complete eight hours of drug counseling as well as 200 hours of community service. The cocaine possession charge was dismissed by a Las Vegas judge last year.

(RNN) - March Madness isn't just a time for basketball at its best. You may not imagine how far some men have gone to take a few days off work to watch the games. Some call it "VasMadness."
For the past several days it's been all about basketball, brackets, bets and … bags of frozen peas?
That's right, for some men the timing is just right to get a vasectomy so they can stay at home and watch all the action.
While a vasectomy is one of the safest and most reliable family planning options, Dr. Robert Schwartz with the Urology Group in Cincinnati says men generally need a little push.
"I think men are just afraid to talk about it. I think it's actually a lot of wives that bring the men in and I think men are just uncomfortable talking about urological issues," Dr. Schwartz told WXIX.
But for guys looking for a "no guilt" way to get in front of the TV, many doctor's offices are pitching its idea: a procedure with a certain "snip" to it.
"Urologists across the country have noticed a trend in men over the last few years who are getting their vasectomies at the time of March Madness," Schwartz said. "You have a perfect excuse to watch basketball all weekend."
Many urology centers report a dramatic increase in the number of vasectomies they perform this time of year, saying business increases by as much as 50 percent.
Some centers even kick in free T-shirts, coolers, TV drawings and fast-food coupons to lure men.
Dr. Schwartz, who admits to having had a vasectomy, said it's an easy procedure with minimal recovery.
"Vasectomy is actually a very, very easy procedure," he said. "It's very quick, about a 15-to-20 minute procedure. It's performed in the office as an outpatient and is really the best form of birth control that's available. Recovery only requires one or two days off work, which is why "VasMadness" is the perfect time to schedule a vasectomy."
So gentlemen, grab the remote, and let the games and healing begin!

The gloomy federal jobs report for May has brought to the forefront again all the questions – and fears – about the economy and the jobs crisis that six months ago were pushed into the deep background by the compromise on unemployment benefits between President Obama and the Republicans in Congress.
The legislation ensured that for all of this year all jobless workers who reach the normal six-month cutoff point for unemployment benefits – estimated at about four million – would automatically have their payments renewed. The measure also included another two million whose benefits were lapsing during last December as well.
In exchange, the President agreed to extend for another two years the Bush-era provisions governing estate taxes and tax cuts for the highest-income earners.
The administration was clearly hoping that during this year, the economic recovery would have gathered enough steam to forge the kind of job growth that would jump-start a sustained paring of the jobless rolls.
That hasn't happened. Instead, the slowing of the momentum of economic recovery has produced a keenly-felt disconnect between the fact that the Great Recession officially ended nearly two years ago and the fact of the hardship many Americans are still enduring.
The official unemployment rate for May inched up to 9.1 percent and a just-barely-positive 54,000 new jobs were tallied. That underscored the fact that the labor market still has seven million fewer jobs than at the start of the crisis in December 2007—and that some 14 million Americans remain out of work. Which, in turn, raised the point that many labor-market analysts expect it will take years of sustained significant job growth to push the unemployment rate down to its pre-recession level between five and six percent.
The recovery's tepid pace has also emphasized the many worrisome questions about the recession's long-term effects. Millions of younger workers among the jobless face a future in which their lifetime earnings are likely to be permanently diminished by this period of sustained joblessness. And, many jobless workers who are 55 and older are likely – if they can find work again – to never again approach the status or wages of their previous jobs. In addition, the number of long-term unemployed workers – those jobless for six months or more – after declining somewhat late last year is on the rise again. The 6.2 million workers in this category now comprise 45.1 percent of the total jobless, from 43.4 percent in April.
Numerous analysts have expressed concern that many of the long-term unemployed will never again find consistent employment.
If not mitigated, these possibilities will in the years ahead diminish the amount of payments into the funds for Social Security and Medicare, just as the largest waves of Baby Boomers are likely to be drawing heavily on those two federal programs.
Further, the May jobs report, in which Black unemployment ticked upward from April's 16.1 to 16.2 percent, again underlined the intensifying racially-skewed dynamic within the broader economic crisis.
This month's report on Black employment and unemployment from the Center for Labor Research and Education of the University of California at Berkeley (PDF) noted that the Black unemployment figures stand in stark contrast to those of Whites, which plateaued at 8.0 percent for both months. Furthermore, the composite figures for Blacks mask the separately alarming predicaments of Black male and female workers. Unemployment for the former climbed from 18.1 to 18.6 percent, while that of Black females stood in May at 14,1 percent, down slightly from April's 14.4 percent (compared to 7.5 and 7.6 percent, respectively, for white females workers).
That was just one of numerous statistics – including homeownership rates, the incidence of foreclosures, funds saved for retirement , household income, access to health care, and poverty rates — that show, amid the difficult present and worrisome prospects for several segments of American workers in general, Black Americans' predicament continues to be the worst of all.
But, of all of this data, the Black unemployment rate, seeming now to be slowly spiraling upward on a curve of its own, presents the greatest danger. The reason is simple: If fewer and fewer Blacks have jobs, all of the other indices of their economic status will get worse.

>>>Full Teams
AUSTIN, Texas – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCWBA) recently released its Division II All-America teams, with Georgia College catcher Steve Hazel (Kentwood, Mich.) owning a first-team spot.
Hazel hit .381 this season, adding 13 home runs and 53 RBI. The catcher had a .710 slugging percentage and scored 45 runs as well. His slugging ranks just outside the school's single-season records, and seventh in the country. His 13 home runs finished 10th in all of Division II. He had the Bobcats' longest hitting streak of the season at 17 ballgames, coming to an end when he left a game after one at-bat due to injury.
The junior is the first NCBWA All-American for GC Baseball since Tanner Funk in 2011. Hazel is the first catcher to earn the NCBWA honor in Georgia College history, the third first-team choice after Funk and starting pitcher Martin Dewald in 2010, and the fifth player overall in school history.
The Bobcats wrapped up another monster season in 2014, going 35-17 and earning a spot in the NCAA Southeast Regionals for the second-straight season, the fourth in head coach Tom Carty's seven seasons. Georgia College led the country in runs per game at 9.4, finished second in on-base percentage (.440) and were third in both home runs (58) and slugging (.513).
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

A letter in the March 25 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Leader:
Well, it's been two years and the WOWOF (Women on the Wings of Faith) group is still going strong. The faith-based group meets once a month and has anywhere between 30 to 50 women who attend regularly. We meet every fourth Wednesday of the month, alternating between St. Mary's Corpus Christi Center and Grace Lutheran Church.
This month, on Wednesday, March 26, we will be celebrating our two-year anniversary with another concert. This will be held at Grace Lutheran Church starting at 6:30 p.m. and it is open to everyone in the community – women, men and children. The music will be a little bit rock-n-roll and a little bit gospel with shades of everything sprinkled in. The band performing will be "House of Grace" and consists of Carey Beth Foster, Mark and Michele Schlegel, Denise Oelig, Tom Powers and Chuck Devereaux. They will have their own new CD "Run to the Light" available and all proceeds from the sale go to charity. All are welcome to attend the concert, men, women and children.
The WOWOF group provides inspirational stories, books, DVDs and music along with the wonderful friendships they have made so they can stay spiritually charged on a regular basis. All women are welcome and it's a great way to meet other women who will help raise them up, and will walk with them through their day-to-day journeys.
We hope you will come and help us celebrate with a night of spiritual uplifting music.
Helen Bishop-Cerny
Teri Cernoch
Still going strong

The read filter method is called when input data is required. Filters that modify or consume incoming data should implement the read filter method.
Upon receiving control, a read implementation should fill buf with up to amount bytes of input data. This data can be obtained by calling the net_read() function, as shown in the example below.
int read(FilterLayer *layer, void *buf, int amount, int timeout);
The number of bytes placed in buf on success. 0 if no data is available, or a negative value if an error occurs.
FilterLayer *layer is the filter layer in which the filter is installed.
void *buf is the buffer in which data should be placed.
int amount is the maximum number of bytes that should be placed in the buffer.
int timeout is the number of seconds to allow the read operation to return. The purpose of timeout is to limit the amount of time devoted to waiting until some data arrives, not to return because not enough bytes were read in the given time.
int myfilter_read(FilterLayer *layer, void *buf, int amount, int timeout) { return net_read(layer->lower, buf, amount, timeout); }
net_read() Function, filter_create() Function
The REALLOC macro is a platform-independent substitute for the C library routine realloc. This macro changes the size of a specified memory block that was originally created by MALLOC, CALLOC, or STRDUP. The contents of the object remains unchanged up to the lesser of the old and new sizes. If the new size is larger, the new space is uninitialized.
Calling REALLOC for a block that was allocated with PERM_MALLOC, PERM_CALLOC, or PERM_STRDUP will not work.
void *REALLOC(void *ptr, int size);
A pointer to the new space if the request is satisfied.
void *ptr is a (void *) pointer to a block of memory. If the pointer is not the one created by MALLOC, CALLOC, or STRDUP, the behavior is undefined.
int size is the number of bytes to allocate.
char *name; name = (char *) MALLOC(256); if (NotBigEnough()) name = (char *) REALLOC(name, 512);
CALLOC() Macro, MALLOC() Macro, FREE() Macro, STRDUP() Macro, PERM_REALLOC() Macro
The remove filter method is called when the filter stack is destroyed, or when a filter is removed from a filter stack by the filter_remove function or remove-filter SAF.
Waiting until the remove method is invoked might be too late to flush buffered data. For this reason, filters that buffer outgoing data should implement the flush filter method.
void remove(FilterLayer *layer);
FilterLayer *layer is the filter layer in which the filter is installed.
flush() Function, filter_remove() Function, filter_create() Function
The request_get_vs function finds the VirtualServer* to which a request is directed.
The returned VirtualServer* is valid only for the current request. To retrieve a virtual server ID that is valid across requests, use vs_get_id().
const VirtualServer* request_get_vs(Request* rq);
The VirtualServer* to which the request is directed.
Request *rq is the request for which the VirtualServer* is returned.
The request_header function finds an entry in the pblock containing the client's HTTP request headers (rq->headers). You must use this function rather than pblock_findval when accessing the client headers, because the server might begin processing the request before the headers have been completely read.
int request_header(char *name, char **value, Session *sn, Request *rq);
A result code, REQ_PROCEED if the header was found, REQ_ABORTED if the header was not found, or REQ_EXIT if there was an error reading from the client.
char *name is the name of the header.
char **value is the address where the function will place the value of the specified header. If no address is found, the function stores a NULL.
Session *sn is the session.
Request *rq is the request.
The Session and Request parameters are the same parameters as the ones passed into your SAF.
request_create, request_free
The request_stat_path function returns the file information structure for a specified path or, if no path is specified, the path entry in the vars pblock in the specified request structure. If the resulting file name points to a file that the server can read, request_stat_path returns a new file information structure. This structure contains information about the size of the file, its owner, when it was created, and when it was last modified.
Use request_stat_path to retrieve information on the file you are currently accessing instead of calling stat directly, because this function keeps track of previous calls for the same path and returns its cached information.
struct stat *request_stat_path(char *path, Request *rq);
Returns a pointer to the file information structure for the file named by the path parameter. Do not free this structure. Returns NULL if the file is not valid or the server cannot read it. In this case, it also leaves an error message describing the problem in rq->staterr.
char *path is the string containing the name of the path. If the value of path is NULL, the function uses the path entry in the vars pblock in the request structure denoted by rq.
Request *rq is the request identifier for a Server Application Function call.
fi = request_stat_path(path, rq);
request_create, request_free, request_header() Function
The request_translate_uri function performs virtual-to-physical mapping on a specified URI during a specified session. Use this function to determine the file to be sent back if a given URI is accessed.
char *request_translate_uri(char *uri, Session *sn);
A path string if the function performed the mapping, or NULL if it could not perform the mapping.
char *uri is the name of the URI.
Session *sn is the Session parameter that is passed into the SAF.
request_create, request_free, request_header() Function

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has filed a disability discrimination lawsuit against KobeWieland Copper Products, LLC (KobeWieland) for failing to hire an individual because of his perceived disability at its facility in Pine Hall, North Carolina. KobeWieland manufactures and sells copper tubing, and employs over 500 associates between its two plants in Pine Hall, NC and Wheeling, IL.
According to the EEOC's complaint, KobeWieland failed to hire Joseph Cardwell for a full-time caster position because it regarded him as being disabled. Due to a childhood accident, Cardwell lost fingers on his left hand. Cardwell was offered a position by KobeWieland on September 24, 2008. However, when Cardwell reported for his first day of work, KobeWieland's Human Resource Specialist noticed that Cardwell was missing fingers, and rescinded the offer of employment. The Human Resources Specialist stated that he was concerned that Cardwell could not do the job because of his missing fingers.
The complaint further alleges that Cardwell explained that he could do the job and even offered to demonstrate how he could do it, but was not allowed to do so. The EEOC alleges that Cardwell was fully qualified for the position and could perform the job, but was denied the job because KobeWieland regarded him as disabled because of his missing fingers.
Such alleged conduct violates the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Winston-Salem Division (EEOC v. KobeWieland Copper Products, LLC, Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-636), after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. In its suit, the EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages, and rightful-place hiring, for Cardwell, as well as injunctive and other non-monetary relief.
"It's unfortunate that twenty years after the enactment of the American with Disabilities Act, some employers still react to applicants and employees based on myths, fears and stereotypes about a certain impairment that the individual may have," said EEOC Regional Attorney Lynette A. Barnes of the agency's Charlotte District Office. "In this lawsuit, the EEOC alleges that rather than allowing Mr. Cardwell the opportunity to show that he could do the job, the company simply revoked Mr. Cardwell's job offer because of his missing fingers."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination. More information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov

Atrium Integrator is your best bet unless you have a slew of developers ready to write API calls and who also understand web services.
AI is part of Atrium Core even though it is a separate installer...you do not need a separate license and it can handle all the data transformations you have listed and is very scalable.
2. Re: Automated data population to CMDBLin Zhu Apr 25, 2012 5:14 PM (in response to Dirk Anderson)
Hi dirk,
Thanks for your reply! I will dig into the AtriumIntegrator7.6.04_UsersGuide right now to find out the best practice I could do.
My another concern is that the current BMC CDM doesn't fit our requirements very well. Potentially we have to create new regular classes (many and maybe each with over 100 or even 200 attributes) to extends the current BMC CDM classes (mostly are BMC_Settings). Can Integrator overcome this ugly design to have a good performance as you mentioned "very scalable" (any potential risks)?
I know the federation will be ideal way to tackle this ugly guy but we couldn't.
3. Automated data population to CMDBAdrian Buckley Apr 26, 2012 5:16 PM (in response to Lin Zhu)
Seamless Technologies has a product called the SeamlessData Pump that can handel your requirement ... you can find more information at www.seamlessti.com/products ... or contact me directly at email@example.com. We are a BMC partner of 17 years and our products are certified by BMC.
4. Re: Automated data population to CMDBLin Zhu Apr 30, 2012 12:52 PM (in response to Adrian Buckley)
Hi Abuckley,
Thanks for your recommendation. The SeamlessData Pump sounds cool but our team doesn't have any plan to use any third-party solutions at this time. Thanks again!

Speaking at the DLD Conference in Munich, Germany, Jack Dorsey said the three words that differentiate Twitter from its competitors are "public," "real-time," and "simplicity," reports Liz Gannes of All Things Digital.
Strangely missing from that list is "social."
Dorsey said social is just one aspect of Twitter, helping friends stay in touch with friends. But Twitter is also a way to keep tabs on the world and get completely real-time updates on any number of topics.
He thinks of it "as an information utility and a communications network." Consider that a user doesn't have to tweet to reap the benefits of Twitter -- he can just follow people relevant to his interests and stay up to date on what matters to him.
While the social element is there, it's in the backseat of Dorsey's mind.

Here are five secret agents for some easy summer reading. It is also my personal line of progression with secret agents in Scifi. As a kid I started out with Cap Kennedy along with other YA flavored SF like Perry Rhodan, the Dumarest Saga, Venus Prime and such.
Before reading Paul Anderson's Flandry series of a far future where a crumbling and decadent empire need saving from crafty aliens. You can get the Dominic Flandry series in new omnibus releases, but they probably win the contest of bad covers (James Bond like man draped in nude/semi nude women).
I upped my game a bit when it came to secret agents with Morgan Roche in the Evergence Trilogy.
Cally was inherited from John Ringo's Posleen series and I came to that from John Ring & David Weber's excellent Prince Roger series (That one is still one of my favorites). I might in fact have read Neal Asher's Agent Cormac series before Cally's War but I wanted to finish with the best.
Cap Kennedy of F.A.T.E
Author: Gregory Kern (pseudonym for Edwin Charles Tubb)
Cap Kennedy, is space opera in the style of Perry Rhodan. Known as F.A.T.E. in the UK (where only the first six books have ever been published), the novels follow the adventures of Captain Kennedy, an intergalactic investigator and Free Acting Terran Envoy (F.A.T.E.) of the Mobile Aid Laboratories and Construction Authorities (M.A.L.A.C.A.) who is assisted by his team of companions, engineer Penza Saratov, veteran scientist Professor Jarl Luden, and the human chameleon Veem Chemile. Tubb wrote 17 Cap Kennedy novels, all under the pseudonym Gregory Kern.
Dominic Flandry
Author: Poul Anderson
Dominic Flandry is the central character in the second half of Poul Anderson's Technic History science fiction. He first appeared in 1951.
The space opera series is set in the thirty-first century, during the waning days of the Terran Empire. Flandry is a dashing field agent of the Imperial Intelligence Corps who travels the stars to fight off imminent threats to the empire from both external enemies and internal treachery. His long-time archenemy is Aycharaych, from the planet Chereion, a cultured but ruthless telepathic spymaster who weaves plots for the expansionistic rival empire of the alien Merseians. Similar to the James Bond stories (which started two years later), every new adventure brings Flandry another beautiful damsel to woo and rescue.
The illegitimate son of a minor nobleman, Flandry rises to considerable power within the decadent Empire by his own wits, and enjoys all the pleasures his position society gives him. Still he is painfully conscious of the impending fall of the Terran Empire and the subsequent "Long Night" of a galactic Dark Age. His career is dedicated to holding it off for as long as possible. In time, he passes the mantle to his daughter Diana, who is also illegitimate.
Flandry is willing to disregard conventional morality and use his foes' tactics against them. He can cheerfully deceive, seduce, and blackmail; grimly and regretfully, he mind-probes his son into a vegetable in A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows, and in that same book, bombards Aycharaych's homeworld of Chereion into radioactive ruin to punish Aycharaych for his part in fostering trouble in the marches of the empire.

Author: John Ringo
Co-written with Julie Cochrane, this series is more cloak and dagger spy genre fiction as the humans strive to overcome the game rigged by the Darhel race which has the rest of the galaxy's races in virtual thralldom—except for the Posleen and humans whom they fear, while they systematically use humans to combat the Posleen while bleeding the humans when and where possible by underhanded clandestine acts to weaken future options of humanity.

Of course, those national obsessions are not unlike some aspects of genealogy. If Family-History Phil sees his document, it means one thing; if he doesn't, it means another six weeks of research. Super-Fan Fran roots for "her" team, a grouping of people she's never met to whom she feels a strong connection, who in reality may not be very different than that other group; occasionally a person might even leave one to join the other.
|Perhaps the only other simultaneous occurrence of Groundhogs and football;
Rudy Vallee and Robert Morse cheering on "Grand Old Ivy" from the film
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, 1967.
Part of the reason I was thinking about all this was because recently I received an email from someone hoping I could help them provide some proof to accompany a lineage society membership request. So although descendants of John Wallace Cherry (27 May 1788 - 10 Feb 1857), a maternal fourth great-grandfather, are already eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution (John Wallace being a son of Capt Samuel Cherry), it seems those D A R gals don't mess around. They want proof, and very specific proof at that.
It seems too facile, somehow, that a single piece of paper could carry such weight. Marriage certificates, adoption papers... do they make a family? Is someone "less related" by the absence of a document? What if proof--in the form of a document or some other tangible evidence--cannot be provided for something that is otherwise demonstrably true? (And somehow, this post is shifting into territory I absolutely wish to avoid concerning this month's other news-ready--I was going to say "newsworthy" but thought better of it--event, the Bible v Science debate held just across the river.)
Anyway. It is interesting in genealogy (and elsewhere) how one's perspective can shift with a single piece of information; things you think you know suddenly become different.
I am reminded of Walker Percy's Lost in the Cosmos, in which he writes:
You are an Aries. You open your newspaper to the astrology column and read an analysis of the Aries personality. It says, among other things:
You have the knack of creating an atmosphere of thought and movement, unhampered by petty jealousies. But you have the tendency to scatter your talents to the four winds.
Hm, you say, quite true. I'm like that.
Suddenly you realize you've made a mistake. You've read the Gemini column. So you go back to Aries:
Nothing hurts you more than to be unjustly mistreated or suspected. But you have a way about you, a gift for seeing things through despite all obstacles and distractions. You also have a desperate need to be liked. So you have been wounded more often than you admit.
Hm, you say, quite true. I'm like that.
One of my ancestors, a son of the aforementioned John Wallace Cherry, had a son of his own whose birthplace and age did not make sense in the context of the family. Researching the Cherrys, I found by chance the explanation, a single mention in one obituary: "during his middle life Mr Cherry adopted a son." None of the other obituaries or documents mentioned that. Here was a shift, brought about by one piece of paper, one fact. The son was this, now he is that.
I have found myself caught up in the minutiae of my family's histories, or the thrill of discovering a famous or noted ancestor, or the excitement of seeing a photograph or locale connected with someone in my family...! And then I realize there was an error, a flaw in logic, a mistake. The thrill is substituted (after a suitable period of adjustment) by apathy. This occurred to me again the other day as I went trampling over and across other people's gravesites looking for the important ones: my family. This plot brings tears, this one is just in the way. "I, me, mine" indeed.
Percy's astutely astrological observation further reminds me of another bit: Laurie Anderson's recurring theme of being in the wrong house, used in several of her performance pieces. Here it is from "Talk Normal":
I came home today and both our cars were gone. And there were all these new pink flamingos arranged in star patterns all over the lawn. Then I went into the kitchen and it looked like a tornado had hit. And then I realized I was in the wrong house.
The piece ends with the repeated plea "Look at me! Look at me!"
We all want to be seen, to be known for who we are. A larger context, like a family, can often help. Who is Clarissa Adams (31 Jan 1791 - 7 Feb 1872)? She is a maternal fourth great grandmother. She is the wife of John Wallace Cherry. She is the mother and adoptive grandmother of the fellas mentioned above. She is also one of my most vexing brick walls. By chance, I discovered a single document the other day, a query on a genealogy website, that opened up more of her identity. I now know she was a sister as well, to Betsey Adams (10 Oct 1788 - 25 Oct 1869), Sarah "Sally" Adams (31 Dec 1795 - ?), and James A Adams (abt 1800 - 9 Sep 1865). Might I be able to find out more, including who her parents were? With glee, I noted the name of the person who submitted the query, Naomi C Dryden, to contact her. Another document, another fact, another emotion: an online obituary from 2012. R I P Mrs Dryden, and thank you for the lead.
(Poking about, looking for that one piece of paper, that one proof of who Clarissa's parents might be, I discovered that her brother James' son, James Walton Adams [28 Dec 1838 - 18 Jul 1915], married a Eunice Waugh [31 Oct 1841 - 9 Dec 1924]. Waugh! Could this be another favorite author to whom I'm distantly related by marriage? A superficial study suggests so. Why spoil the delightful possibility with proof?]
|Cousin Evelyn, as I like to remember him.
Family can help identify us, surely, but only within a group or social structure, not as individuals. Family also helps us form our identity, of course, through some admixture of nature and nurture. But how do we know who we are? Gertrude Stein (to whom it is doubtful I could be related, but...), wrote often about identity, particularly after she achieved widespread fame in 1934 with The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas. She meditated and composed on the theme of the disparity between how one sees oneself versus how one is seen by others. Some of these ruminations appeared in her 1936 The Geographical History of America, or the Relation of Human Nature to the Human Mind, in which she wrote the much-quoted phrase "I am I because my little dog knows me."
Beyond that bit of--dare I say--existential doggerel, though, are deeper concerns. She goes on to wonder who she would be if her dog did not know her, or who she is when her dog is not there to know her, and if either make any difference as to who she is. She concludes: "That does not prove anything about you it only proves something about the dog."
|Gertrude Stein and her not-so little dog, Basket,
in a photograph by Man Ray from 1926.
You would think that after an entire book (and many other writings, including the extraordinary Ida: a Novel, which I can highly recommend to anyone interested in beginning with the more accessible--comparatively--Stein) about identity, she would have exhausted the topic, as she perhaps sometimes exhausted her readers. But Gertrude, having taken ahold of an idea, in doglike fashion liked to worry it like a bone, and added this in 1937:
Identity is funny being yourself is funny as you are never yourself to yourself except as you remember yourself and then of course you do not believe yourself.
All this speculation, this circling round family and identity, facts and proof. Have I come to any conclusions? Perhaps. But all that could change with a single piece of paper.

Bakhtiari On Middle East Oil Reserves
Reprinted from the February 20, 2006 ASPO USA newsletter
It is now common knowledge that the lion's share of remaining conventional oil reserves is concentrated in the Middle East (ME). All major reserves' assessors agree on this crucial point, as shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1. Middle East's share of global conventional oil reserves
|Middle East's share of worldwide oil reserves
|Oil & Gas Journal (1)
|BP Statistical Review (2)
|Dr. Colin Campbell (3)
[1] O&GJ, December 19, 2005 (for January 1, 2006).
[2] BP, June 2005 (through end of 2004).
[3] Dr. Campbell, fifth revision, February 2, 2005 (end of 2004).
If the above assessors generally agree on the ME's predominant share, they tend to disagree on specific estimates of both global and ME reserves.
It goes without saying that when assaying ME oil reserves, one should tread carefully. Because, on the one hand, oil reserves' estimation is both a science and an art; and, on the other hand, seen from the point of view of most ME countries, oil reserves are more political than geological. Thus, non-scientific views come to prime over science and further enhance the various types of shades that have led to an overall opaque situation in the Middle East.
Middle East Reserves
Focus here will be on the five major ME oil producing countries, the so-called 'ME Five' --- namely: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Four of the latest available estimates for these major producers are presented in Table 2.
Table 2. Remaining proved oil reserves for "ME Five," according to the major assessors
|Oil & Gas Journal [1]
|BP Statistical Review [2]
|Colin Campbell [3]
|Author's range [4]
|80 - 100
|45 - 55
|Saudi Arabia
|120 - 140
|United Arab Emirates
|40 - 50
|320 - 390
[1] & [2] As in Table 1.
[3] ASPO Newsletter #62, February 2006.
[4] February 2006.
Whereas O&GJ and BP mainly rely on published 'official' figures (which are usually bloated and highly political), Dr. Campbell has based his estimates upon geological evidence. Thus, he roughly cuts by half the 'official' figures. Overall, his estimates are the very best available worldwide and they proved their worth in my 'World Oil Production Capacity' (WOCAP) model.
In the special case of Kuwait, Dr. Campbell has lately been vindicated when Petroleum Intelligence Weekly (dated January 20) reported that a senior Kuwaiti oil official had hinted at national reserves of 'only' some 48 billion barrels [bnb] --- in stark contrast to the official 99 bnb. The fresh estimate came from adding up the following reserves:
- Burgan field : 20 bnb
- Northern fields : 17 bnb.
- Western fields : 8.5 bnb.
- Neutral Zone : 2.5 bnb [for 50% share].
Undoubtedly this halving of Kuwait reserves is a welcome revision, and all other ME producers should be encouraged to duly follow suit.
Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Arabian case has been masterfully exposed by Mr. Matthew Simmons in his "Twilight in the Desert" and Dr. Campbell's 159 bnb estimate looks far more realistic than the official one of 260 bnb. My own opinion stands even lower than that --- at roughly half the official figure.
As for Iran, the usually accepted official 132 bnb is almost one hundred bnb over any realistic assay. If the higher figure was for real, its oil industry would not be struggling day in and day out to keep output at between 3.0 and 3.5 million barrels per day (inclusive of Persian Gulf offshore).
To the contrary of my estimated range for Iran, which is lower than Dr. Campbell's, the Iraqi one is markedly higher. The reasons behind this last divergence are twofold:
(1) The eleven Iraqi oil fields awaiting development spearheaded by the three supergiants of 'Majnoun', 'West Qurna II' and 'Nahr Umar'.
(2) The almost untouched 'Western Desert' which could provide momentous surprises ---based upon the 'Golden Horseshoe' theory I have written about in the Oil & Gas Journal (dated July 7, 2003).
Reserves' Twilight
Notwithstanding the importance of conventional oil reserves, their days might now be numbered (both in the ME and elsewhere).
Oil reserve estimates were useful in the era before 'Peak Oil'. But, in the aftermath of the mighty Peak (as, for example, in the present
'Transition One' period), they tend to become stale and rather useless, as field-by-field analysis and prediction takes over (eg., Ghawar, Cantarell).
So, it will not be long now before we will have to say goodbye to all these mesmerizing oil reserve figures and dump the whole reserves file into the all-encompassing 'dustbin of history'.....
Dr. Samsam Bakhtiari is a senior expert with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), with some 35 years experience in the international oil and gas industry. He is among the pioneers of the global 'Peak Oil' theory.

The Noh series, the brainchild of the Number One Drinks Company, has a wider significance than just offering some nicely packaged, tasty whiskies. It has, with one exception, featured single casks from Kirin Group's Karuizawa distillery in Nagano Prefecture. For years now, the news coming out of Karuizawa has been almost entirely negative. The last time I checked with the Kirin press office, they confirmed to me the distillery had been mothballed. The most recent official bottling was a 2007 12-year-old Karuizawa Wine Cask, to mark the 12th anniversary of the museum on the site of the distillery.
And yet, while Kirin appear to have left the distillery to slowly slip into oblivion, Europe has been all abuzz with Karuizawa. That is largely thanks to Number One Drinks. The Noh bottlings, which are only part of their Karuzawa offerings, have really added to the excitement. Here is a full list of the Noh series to date:
Marcin Miller at Number One explains the concept behind the series:
1. Karuizawa 1995 (bottled 2008) Cask No. 5004. 63 percent alcohol. 186 bottles (from a Japanese wine cask)
2. Karuizawa 1995 (bottled 2008) Cask No. 5007. 63 percent alcohol. 246 bottles (from a Japanese wine cask, exclusive to Taiwan)
3. Karuizawa 1977 (bottled 2008) Cask No. 7026. 62.8 percent alcohol. 528 bottles (exclusive to La Maison du Whisky)
4. Karuizawa 1995 (bottled 2009) Cask No. 5039. 59.4 percent alcohol. (reduced for Norway) 222 bottles (from a Japanese wine cask, exclusive to Norway)
5. Hanyu 1988 (bottled 2009) Cask No. 9306. 55.6 percent alcohol. 625 bottles
6. Karuizawa 1976 (bottled 2009) Cask No. 6719. 63 percent alcohol. 486 bottles
7. Karuizawa 1977 (bottled 2010) Cask No. 4592. 60.7 percent alcohol. 190 bottlesThe next release is expected to be another 1977 Karuizawa and a 1994 bottling (Karuizawa 1994/2010. Cask No. 270. 62.7 per cent alcohol) is being done for La Maison du Whisky ready for Whisky Live Paris in September.
Marcin Miller at Number One explains the concept behind the series:
"We feel it is important when we bottle a whisky in the 'official' Vintage Series that it should be true to the distillery character. For example, the 1985 #7017 was, for me, archetypal Karuizawa; big, bold, uncompromising, complex and reminiscent of an autumnal forest walk (pine, mushroom, truffle) with plenty of sherry and mixed nuts. The same applies to classics like the Karuizawa 1967 and 1971.Miller explains that the striking labels come courtesy of an exclusive arrangement with the Kamiasobi Noh Troupe (www.kamiasobi.com) in Japan. They first made contact with Kamiasobi at Whisky Live! Japan 2008, where the troupe performed extracts from a play about the God of Whisky. Now, Number One pays a royalty to use images of the theatre group's masks and figures on its bottles .
"Occasionally we come across a cask that doesn't fit in with the traditional Karuizawa flavour profile; for example, we unearthed a few Japanese wine casks, that is to say casks formerly used to mature Japanese red wine (classic Bordeaux blend in style). Obviously, the whisky from these casks was different to the majority of sherry butts we have bottled from that distillery. We felt they needed to be presented differently (and that is where the Noh series comes in).
"In terms of a 'theme' to the series, I am tempted to say they are unusual whiskies which deserve eye-catching presentation. Although the majority of bottlings have been from Karuizawa, the Noh Series is not limited to that distillery; we bottled a Hanyu cask last year and there may be releases from Chichibu and other distilleries in due course."
"Noh is one of Japan's oldest performing arts, dating back to the 14th century; we felt that association with classical culture and the opportunity to create some striking labels was worth pursuing," Miller says. "The utilitarian packaging of Karuizawa's Vintage Series is perfect for our single cask selections. However, David Croll and I agreed that we could create a range that perhaps had greater impact, combining stunning whisky with arresting designs."
What with Ichiro Akuto's uber cool card series, Full Proof Europe's risque butt wiggling labels, innovative labeling is nothing new to the indy Japanese whisky makers. The Noh series is an interesting and classy addition to this scene and the whisky inside the bottles is, in my experience so far, very good indeed.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
When an ocean carrier, such as MSC, contracts to transport your cargo from one location to another a key part of this agreement is, of course, the provision of the container itself.
The length of time you are able to utilise this equipment is typically defined in the terms of sale. Within this timescale a period of 'Free Time' is defined. The last thing you want is to be hit with unwanted extra charges, so it's a very good idea to get to grips with this term quickly:
Should the container remain in your possession beyond the Free Time allocation, you will incur additional charges during this period – these charges come under the broad headings of 'demurrage' and 'detention'.
Terminals and depots also have an interest to free up their 'parking' areas and bill a corresponding 'storage' or 'quay rent' charge.
As with demurrage, the port will define what is determined to be a reasonable period of time for the container to be 'parked' or stored on/at their facility. Any time beyond that risks incurring a charge. These charges vary considerably from port to port and between imports and exports, so take the time to avail yourself of the port-specific charges relevant to your cargo. Again, your local MSC office will be available advise you on this.

Before every game he plays for the University of West Alabama, junior wide receiver Chad Toocheck stops and marvels at where he is, how he got there and, most importantly, where he came from.
Before every game he plays for the University of West Alabama, junior wide receiver Chad Toocheck stops and marvels at where he is, how he got there and, most importantly, where he came from.
Toocheck, a 25-year-old former abuser of drugs and alcohol, is in the home stretch of an odyssey that saw him overcome those addictions, travel the country and become one of the most prolific receivers for UWA.
After Toocheck graduated from high school at 17, he spent two years traveling between Pittsburgh and his hometown of Medina, Ohio, not really doing anything. Toocheck had abused drugs and alcohol since eighth grade, and despite everyone telling him he could play collegiate ball, he said he cared only about "getting drunk and getting high every day."
Finally, at 19, he decided to get sober after a visit to his mother's residence in Pittsburgh.
"My mom, at the time, saved my life pretty much," Toocheck said. "She said, 'I'm either going to call the cops or I'm taking you to the hospital.' And I'm not the dumbest kid alive, so I said, 'Take me to the hospital.' "
From there, Toocheck underwent detoxification, entered Alcoholics Anonymous and has been sober since. During his rehabilitation, Toocheck took up basketball and even decided he would try out for an Arena Football League team. He was offered a contract but decided that if he had the talent to play football he should get an education while playing at the collegiate level.
So, in 2010, Toocheck looked up every junior college he could find, and finally found one that hadn't yet started its program for the year — Santa Barbara (Calif.) City College. Toocheck found out on a Friday that they would start their program on the following Monday. So he packed up his bags on Saturday, flew out the next day and reported in time for tryouts.
Meanwhile, Toocheck took the roughly $2,500 he'd saved up and lived in homeless shelters and on the beach, so he wouldn't have to waste money on an apartment he might not even stay in for more than the two-week tryout period. He made the team.
"I was an eighth-string receiver," Toocheck said. "That was good enough for me. I was on the team. So when they first told me, it was like, 'Yes.' Because this was all or nothing; I literally picked up my entire life and went out to California to chase another dream."
While there, Toocheck earned first-team all-state honors, catching 80 passes for 900 yards and nine touchdowns. He returned home after a year. He was working out with a former Arena League contact who told him about a college he could play for in Livingston. He jumped at the chance, meeting up with recruiting coordinator Desmond Lindsey — his future position coach — before deciding UWA was the place for him.
UWA coach Will Hall said Toocheck has been an incredible player and person while at UWA, and one who typifies the philosophy of the team: "Attitude is everything."
"He's looked to as a guy that does right," Hall said, "that is dependable, that you can count on."
Toocheck has shown it on and off the field: He will finish his majors in exercise science and psychology by spring 2015, although he has now set his sights on the National Football League. Still, Toocheck said he is not worried about not making it there after everything he's accomplished.
"If it works, it works," Toocheck said. "If not, no big deal. I've got other goals and dreams I can reach."

Dave Barry
Dave Barry: GOP Convention day one all about humanizing Mitt Romney
The Republican Convention finally got going Tuesday with a parade of speakers taking the stage to express the official theme of the evening: "Mitt Romney: You're Darned Tooting He's Human!"
This theme is intended to counteract what the Republicans see as their candidate's biggest weakness, which is that when many voters look at Mitt, they do not see a regular person like themselves. They see this tall, fit, handsome, rich Mormon with a square jaw and perfect hair and a blond wife and at least 23 tall handsome clone sons; a man who appears to be calculating and reserved; a man who has never once, even at a wedding reception, gotten hammered and danced the Funky Chicken and then passed out face-down in the prime rib.
Voters see this, and they say to themselves: "This man can't possibly relate to me and my everyday problems, such as my financial woes, my hemorrhoids, and this tendency I have to talk to myself."
So the Republicans brought out a parade of humanizers, with the star being Mitt's wife, Ann. She talked, movingly, about a completely different Mitt Romney, a Mitt Romney whom most people have never seen, a Mitt Romney who is funny, spontaneous, tender, laid-back, five feet tall, overweight, bald and — in some states — Jewish.
Will this message resonate with the voters? I have no idea. I'm deep inside the Convention Zone, a world of intense political geekdom totally disconnected from regular earthlings. You have no idea how weird it is in here. Newt Gingrich walks by, and people act as though it's Brad Pitt. A person named "Piers Morgan" is HUGE. At one point I found myself in a clot of media people running — Running! — to catch up to Mike Huckabee. At least I think it was Mike Huckabee. It was definitely a large man with a comb over. All I know is, we were after him. I found myself getting caught up in it, joining the pursuit, until it hit me: What would I do if I actually caught him? I had no questions to ask him, except maybe, "Are you Mike Huckabee?"
It was after this incident that I realized I had to get out of the Convention Zone. So I made my way out through the maze of chain-link fences and police checkpoints, out to the streets of Tampa, hoping to find some normal people. Instead I found protesters. There were maybe a hundred of them, mostly young, some wearing bandanas to protect their secret identities from ... I don't really know. Maybe their parents.
The protesters were marching on a meandering route, shooting video of each other and chanting "Hey, hey, ho, ho; poverty has got to go." (It is a proven economic fact that if you chant this enough times, poverty, as we know it, will disappear.)
Observing the protesters were several hundred police officers, a few dozen members of the news media, a preacher instructing them through an electronic bullhorn to accept Jesus, and essentially zero members of the actual public. So, as is traditional with protests, there was no chance that anybody's mind would be changed about anything.
At one point it appeared as though there might be a confrontation between the protesters and the police, but nobody's heart really seemed to be in it. Eventually it started raining and the protest melted away. I've seen more civil unrest at bar mitzvahs. (I'm looking at you, Rick Schatz.)
For me, the best part of the protest was the presence of Vermin Supreme — his legal name — who has been a candidate for president for many years, and received 837 votes in the New Hampshire primary. I'm always happy to run into Vermin on the campaign trail; he's easy to spot, because he wears a large rubber boot on his head. He also wears as many as six neckties simultaneously, although here, because of the heat, he was down to just three.
Vermin's signature issue has long been dental hygiene — he is for it — but he told me that he has recently added zombie preparedness and awareness. He said he wants "to harness the awesome power of zombies" by putting them on treadmills and using them to generate electricity. He notes that "there has never been an accident resulting from a zombie escape from a licensed zombie generating facility."
You cannot argue with that.
And now for some late-breaking convention updates:
WORLD'S LONGEST CONTINUOUS SIDEWALK: As of this morning, Tampa still holds the record.
MYSTERY SPEAKER: Rumor here is that there will be a mystery speaker Thursday night, the idea being that the element of surprise will keep the news media interested in the convention. I think this might work, but only if they pick the right speaker. It needs to be somebody with something to say; somebody with real ideas; and — above all — somebody with footwear on his head.

The Best Online Brokers of 2014
Rising stocks are everywhere: They're on your desktop, your laptop, your tablet, and, increasingly, your phone.
Small investors can rightly complain about lots of things, but they can't gripe that the historic 173% five-year gain of the Standard & Poor's 500 was out of their reach. It has literally been at everyone's fingertips. Online brokerages estimate that, on average, 15%-20% of retail trading now takes place on mobile devices, most of them Apple products that aren't much older than the bull market. The thinking among brokerage executives is that investors use their smartphones to track the market and place trades during the business day, but once the sun sets, the tablets come out. Tablets give users more real estate on which to manage their portfolios, learn about the markets via streaming video, conduct research, and think up tomorrow's trades.
"It's clear that the devices we use, and the ways that we use them, are fundamentally changing, and that provides investors with room for growth, limited only by the creativity of the tools we provide," says Ram Subramaniam, president of Fidelity Investments' retail brokerage business.
IN RESEARCHING Barron's 19th annual ranking of the best online brokers it was clear to us that personalizing each client's trading and investing experience, regardless of time or location, was becoming a reality. It's more than just hardware. Our top brokers let you customize everything from your trade ticket to your portfolio analysis reports, speeding you through placing orders while helping you—understand your gains and losses.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) � Jim Larranaga snipped the final strand of net hanging from the rim, then faced his players and cheering fans to twirl it in the air before draping it around his neck.
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) � Jim Larranaga snipped the final strand of net hanging from the rim, then faced his players and cheering fans to twirl it in the air before draping it around his neck.
There's no mistaking Miami for just a football school anymore. Not after Larranaga guided the once-struggling Hurricanes to the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference with a team that looks like it can make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Shane Larkin scored eight of his career-high 28 points in the final 2� minutes to help No. 9 Miami pull away and beat North Carolina 87-77 in Sunday's ACC tournament final.
Trey McKinney Jones added a career-high 20 points for the top-seeded Hurricanes (27-6), including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 6:27 left that started Miami's final push toward its first tournament title.
It came one week after Miami completed its surprising run to its first ACC regular-season title in program history. And just as Larkin had promised, the Hurricanes weren't satisfied.
�We want more,� senior Julian Gamble said. �After we clinched the outright regular-season title at home and we (cut down the nets), we were like, �Wasn't that the funnest thing you've ever done?� We wanted to go to Greensboro and do it again.�
The question now is how the win will affect Miami's NCAA seeding and whether the Hurricanes have done enough to earn a No. 1.
Larkin was chosen the tournament's MVP after finishing as runner-up for league player of the year. But he was at his best when the Hurricanes needed him to complete their climb from being picked fifth in the preseason poll to ACC champion.
In a terrific back-and-forth game filled with big shots, the Hurricanes finally slowed P.J. Hairston and the third-seeded Tar Heels (24-10) enough down the stretch to secure what amounted to a road win in front of UNC's home-state crowd.
It was an emotional moment for Gamble and fellow seniors Durand Scott and Reggie Johnson � who were all part of the team that was a last-place seed in the 2010 tournament that made the program's first run to the semifinals.
As the confetti fell from the rafters after the final horn, Scott leapt into Gamble's arms, then shared a big hug with Johnson as he fought back tears. In the locker room, Johnson talked with reporters with his left arm wrapped around the championship trophy in his lap.
Then there was Larranaga, the second-year coach taking over a program that hadn't come to the ACC tournament seeded better than fifth before this year. He lost in the ACC final in 1982 and 1983 as an assistant at Virginia but finally earned the elusive title.
�From day one, these guys have embraced our approach,� Larranaga said. �That doesn't mean that every day was great. It means we went through a transition of learning. Once they did learn, they felt good about it. And they kept trying to get better.�
Miami won its first 13 league games to drain the suspense from the regular-season race, though they stumbled by losing three of five coming into Greensboro.
�I don't know about the other guys on the team, but I do a lot of research online, seeing what people are saying about us individual players on our team, and I just kept seeing that everywhere: �They peaked too early, they're not going to do anything, they're finished,�� Larkin said. �And that just motivated me to go out there and play as hard as I could.�
Miami shot 51 percent and made 12 of 22 3-pointers � six from McKinney Jones, four from Larkin. Miami used its size advantage against North Carolina's four-guard lineup to take a 36-28 rebounding advantage that led to 13 second-chance points.
The Hurricanes needed every bit of it to beat the Tar Heels for the third time. Miami blew North Carolina out by 26 points in February but didn't put this one away until the final minutes.
Hairston scored 28 points with six of the Tar Heels� 13 3-pointers, one shy of tying the program's team record in the tournament. But it wasn't enough to secure their first ACC title since 2008 nor coach Roy Williams� 700th career victory.
For the Tar Heels, the third straight finals appearance didn't appear likely after that humiliating loss to the Hurricanes on Feb. 9. But that's when Williams inserted Hairston into the four-guard starting lineup, a move that changed everything for the Tar Heels.
�I've got nothing to complain about with my team today,� Williams said. �I'm really proud of my team. And I'm not talking about the entire year. I'm talking about today. I'm unbelievably proud of what they've accomplished and how far they've come when everybody was abandoning ship earlier. ... My team gave great effort today, my team was tough today, my team was attentive today. And yes, we made a couple of mistakes, but that's the game of basketball.�
Miami finally took control when Larkin drove by Dexter Strickland for a layup and a 76-71 lead, then McKinney Jones struck again with a 3 from the left corner off a feed from Rion Brown that made it 79-71 with 1:36 left � the Hurricanes� biggest lead to that point.
Larkin went 6-for-6 at the foul line in the final minute to keep Miami in control.
�That was a veteran group,� UNC junior Reggie Bullock said. �They made some big-time shots.�
Hairston and Larkin were the biggest stars of a dynamic first half that featured six ties and 14 lead changes. Both players had 15 points.
Hairston again wore the padded bandage to protect a cut to the webbing between his left middle and ring fingers he suffered in in Friday's quarterfinal win against Florida State, a wound to his non-shooting hand that required eight stitches.
Larkin's floater in the lane with 4 seconds left gave the Hurricanes a 44-41 halftime lead.

|Jumbo shrimp, marinated in a spicy Buffalo sauce then grilled and served on a bed of Cajun Rice Pilaf.
Buffalo Grilled ShrimpI recently had the chance to give KC Masterpiece Buffalo Marinade a try and instead of going with the typical chicken or wings, using it on grilled shrimp was the first thing that came to mind.
The next time that The Cajun headed out to shrimp with Dad, I put out my request for some proper grilling jumbos. To grill shrimp, you really need colossals or jumbo sized. Anything smaller will overcook too quickly.
|Right off the boat, caught in our Gulf in the mornin', cooked that same day - now that's as fresh as it gets y'all!
By the way, I didn't notice any discernible difference myself, so I say peel and devein the shrimp instead and save yourself some mess, but leave the tail tips on, if desired. The biggest key is just simply not to overcook them and that's the bottom line, shells on, or off. Place into a bowl, pouring 3/4ths of the bottle of marinade over the shrimp and toss. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining 1/4 of the marinade for basting.
Remove shrimp from the marinade and thread on double skewers, 3 to 4 shrimp per skewer, leaving space of at least 1/4-inch between each shrimp. You don't have to use double skewers, it just makes them more steady on the skewer and for me, easier to turn. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place on a preheated grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is nice and pink and no longer opaque.
Baste and turn once, halfway through.
I really loved the flavor of this marinade. Made with red pepper, garlic and paprika, the taste was very authentic and it certainly has a rather healthy kick to it. If you like hot - it's here! It would be perfect for grilling, on chicken and certainly wings, but I think it would also pair up well with pork. Or, try it on some jumbo grilled shrimp for a change. No mixing, 30 minutes in the marinade and just a handful of ingredients. Can't get much easier than this folks.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Buffalo Grilled Shrimp©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Inactive time: 30 min |Cook time: 9 min |Yield: 4 servings
- 1-1/4 pounds of jumbo shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined
- 1 bottle of KC Masterpiece Buffalo Marinade, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tail tips on if desired. Place into a bowl, pouring 3/4ths of the bottle of marinade over the shrimp and toss. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining 1/4 of the marinade for basting.
Remove shrimp from the marinade and thread on double skewers, 3 to 4 shrimp per skewer, leaving space between each shrimp. Place on a preheated grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is nice and pink and no longer opaque, basting several times. Serve atop a platter of Cajun Rice Pilaf with a side salad or green vegetable.
Cook's Notes: If cooking with the shell on, use a paring knife to carefully cut along the backs of the shell to open them up. Devein and add to a bowl, add enough olive oil to coat. Toss the shrimp in the oil, working the oil up under the shells. Then place in marinade. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes, draining before using.
Homemade Buffalo Sauce: If you don't have access to the marinade, use 1 stick of unsalted butter mixed with 1 cup of hot sauce, adjusted up or down according to desired heat level; add salt and pepper, garlic powder and paprika, to taste.

Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Wagoner County Launches New Website
July 25, 2011
WAGONER, OKLA. – Officials of Wagoner County recently launched a new website at wagonercounty.ok.gov. The new web site offers new functionality for Wagoner County by offering residents the opportunity to sign-up to receive email notifications from the County and conveniently find contact information for any department within the County. A calendar of events is included plus frequently asked questions for those new to navigating county government.
"It's important that the citizens of Wagoner County feel well informed regarding County government," said Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, James Hanning. "The new website provides just that, a one-stop-shop for all things Wagoner County."
Visitors to the website will find information regarding elected officials, emergency services (including 9-1-1, emergency management, and county fire services), planning and zoning, courts, boards, trustees and commissions, and the history of Wagoner County. Additionally, there are links to land records, tax records, and maps and plats filed in the county. Planning and Zoning regulations are also on-line at this site.
The new site, built through OK.gov's Go Gov! Web Management Suite, allows Wagoner County staff to easily build and maintain a website without the knowledge of programming languages. The system utilizes the new state agency template, which provides a common look for all Oklahoma's agency websites and gives website visitors a sense of security in that they are visiting an official Oklahoma government website. With the help of RSVP volunteer Dean Atteberry, and the team work of all elected officials and department heads, Wagoner County has a website that can grow and develop along with the County.
July 22, 2011
Not long ago state governments were ambivalent about using social media to connect with citizens. Those days are over, if the use of the most popular sites by the nation's governors is any guide. Some 47 of the 50 governors are using Facebook and Twitter, according to a recent Stateline examination of these services; 27 are using the photo-sharing service Flickr and 37 use YouTube. Of course, status updates and tweets are often the work of staffers, not the governors themselves. And it's reasonable to wonder whether feeds of P.R. about ribbon cuttings and bill signings are any more informative than an old-fashioned press release. But one thing's for certain: Americans have more ways than ever to keep up with what the people they elect want to tell them.
July 7, 2011
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Transparency into presidential and Congressional campaign finances became more convenient today as NIC Technologies, LLC announces the launch of a free iPhone application, "FEC Campaign Finance $earch," providing mobile access to public Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Available for free download on iTunes, users can search by federal candidate and/or committee, resulting in totals for net contributions, net distributions, cash and debt, as reported by that candidate or committee.
"This application gives real-time access to public information on federal campaign finance totals," said Randall Bartlett, president of NIC Technologies, LLC. "We independently developed this as a public service to give mobile access to this important data."
