Acquisitions Information
The Harry Sweetbaum Silk Industry Photographs were a gift of Ms. Evelyn Osborne on February 10, 1986.
Processed by: Caroline Weaver; machine-readable finding aid created by: Katherine M. Wisser
Scope and Content
The Harry Sweetbaum silk industry photographs, circa 1930-1941, consist of photographs of a silk plant in China, pictures of the silk making process, Japanese postcards of the Nishimura Filature, and photographs and a booklet from the AAA Silk Laboratory in New York City. Images are of workers, machinery, and some photographs of silkworms.
Biographical Note
Harry Sweetbaum was born in Odessa, Russia, and emigrated to the United States in 1904. He grew up in New York City and received a degree in accounting from the City College of New York. He began his career as an accountant but while employed at a silk firm changed vocations and became an importer of raw silk from the 1920s to 1941. He worked for the Han Kow Silk Company which had facilities in Patterson, New Jersey, where the silk was thrown. His company used the AAA Laboratory in New York City to test silk. Sweetbaum strongly advocated the use of silk as opposed to synthetic fibers but went out of business in 1941 due to the increase of silk imported from Japan.

[Editor's note: Spartan Race is often sent emails by finishers of our races giving us their reasons to run. They are vast, they are varied, and they are inspire as much as they are themselves inspired. This is Lizzy's story in her own words.]
I'll be running my first marathon on November 6th to raise money for the Meg Berte Owen Survivorship Fund which supports cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. While training in the past four months, I've learned that running for a cause brings about a new-found sense of purpose, humility, and some serious self-analysis. I've come to realize that it's really in no way about me. Yes, I'm going to use my legs to actually cover 26 miles, but my story itself is nothing out of the ordinary. This being said, the part of my story worth telling is the way in which the athletes I've encountered along the way, both through Spartan and MSKCC, have affected my athletic mindset and helped me establish my own answer to the question, why run?
Like countless other athletes, I thrive on the combination of physical pain and euphoria involved in pushing my body past what I think I'm capable of. It's a mind game that forces you to reach your breaking point and then tap into reserves that you never knew you had. I'm also passionate about the idea of using what I'm capable of to try and make some sort of positive difference, however small it may be. Though not every act in life is a valiant one, we must all occasionally use our particular passions and strengths to do just that much more – whether it be through philanthropy, medicine, social justice, athletic endeavors, or something else. With this in mind, I've come to the realization that though I'm not some highly-gifted athlete, I must use use my ability to embrace the pain of pushing myself and do something with it. As Robert Browning said, "When the fight begins within himself, a man's worth something". If I am able-bodied and healthy, why wouldn't I partake in a Spartan Race, a marathon, or more? Upon deciding to get involved with Team Meg in June, it hit me almost immediately that the very least I can do for Meg and for others is to run. Simply stated – if the tools are there, then action is necessary.
Now with all of this being said, let's back up a little…
After completing the Spartan Sprint in Tuxedo this past June, I was immediately hooked and my first thought was "when can I do this again?". I'd just started training for the marathon and changing my routine broke up the monotony of logging miles and miles on pavement. Between work, training, and life, the summer got away from me and I neglected to make any concrete plans for my next Spartan. On August 5th, the day before the inaugural Spartan Beast in Killington, I found myself serendipitously bumming a ride up north with a group of friends for a last minute weekend getaway. When we were roughly half-way between NYC and Dorset, Vermont I had a mini-revelation…wasn't the Beast tomorrow? I frantically emailed Joe Desena to see if he could get me and my partner in crime, Elise, into the earliest heat at 9AM. Moments later I got the one-word response I was hoping for – "Yes." Before passing out that night, I realized it was probably a good idea to figure out the logistics of actually getting to Killington from Dorset, check the weather, find our misplaced car keys, etc. I opened up my computer at 11:12PM to find an email from Joe – "Want to run a special 7:30AM wave?". No details. But that was all I needed and I told Joe we were in.
Elise and I rolled out of bed at 5AM the next morning and hit the road with no idea what to expect. This was pre-Irene/Hurricane Heat and there was no reason to arrive that early to run a Spartan on our own other than that we were intrigued and quite honestly, had no reason not to. Why not do it? We managed to make it to the start line in ample time where we found Joe, a few other race coordinators, and two hilarious, welcoming, and seriously ripped men with a striking resemblance who were standing next to a massive tire. We were introduced and soon learned that these were the Foster brothers, Jeff and Bruce. Both had completed the famed Death Race in Pittsfield just a month earlier (they were 2 of the 35 who finished out of a field of 135 athletes, and not to mention 2 of only 6 finishers who completed the race under the 45 hour time limit). Post-Death Race, they took on an absurd bet that they wouldn't be able to complete the 13 mile Beast before sunset while lugging a 200-pound tire along for the entirety of the race. It didn't make sense and there was no real reason but in typical Spartan spirit and as they so aptly put it, "Why not?"
After some great laughs and pictures, words of encouragement, and an offer to carry myself and Elise instead of the tire (no dice), it was 7:30AM and the four of us crossed the start line with no idea what was in store. Less than five minutes in, we were kindly encouraged by our new friends to push on forward, as they would be taking a bit longer with the added 200 pounds they had willingly taken on. With a high five and a "see you at the finish line", we were off. Met by uneven terrain, insanely steep hills, relentless obstacles, and trails that were barely discernible at times since we were the first ones out there, it was literally just the two of us and the mountain. Anyone who ran the Beast can attest to the fact that it was truly a once in a lifetime experience and we LOVED it. Thirty pound sand bags, buckets of gravel, mud crawls, barbed wire, lake swims, and fire pits were just some of the fun we encountered along the way and around 11:15AM (just under four hours after we had embarked on this insane adventure) Elise and I found ourselves nearing the end. Bleeding, bruised, dehydrated (of course we hadn't planned on bringing water), and on a massive adrenaline rush after floundering across a lake for one of the final obstacles, we made our way to the finish.
Post-race, we had to bolt immediately and hit the road in order to make it back to Dorset in time to meet family friends. So instead of doing the logical thing and rinsing ourselves off, we stripped down in the parking lot and tried to put on whatever clean clothes we had haphazardly thrown in the car that morning. The real icing on the cake was when our car broke down just over a mile from our final destination. Barefoot, covered in mud and blood, and without cell phone service, we took to the dirt road and hiked the final mile to the house. Though perhaps not adequately conveyed in writing, the comedy of the entire situation at the time was absurd. It was the perfect way to finish our Beast experience and as we finally wandered into the driveway nearly nine hours after leaving and resembling two homeless vagabonds, we were doubled over in fits of laughter.
After the Beast and still three months away from the marathon, I actually did a bit of planning for my next race and was set on the September 24th Super in Staten Island. After hearing of my previous Spartan experiences, a friend and fellow Team Meg runner, Wes Owen, was thrilled by the prospect of competing in Staten Island. The week before the race, Joe asked if Wes and I had any interest in showing up at 5:15AM with a headlamp and extra batteries to compete in the Hurricane Heat. Again, Wes and I had the same reaction – why not? Of course we would. Wes's excitement for his first Spartan was contagious and knowing that I'd be running with a fellow marathoner who I had spent the last four months training and raising money with was invigorating. On the morning of the 24th, along with 100 other Spartan enthusiasts, we found ourselves in Staten Island well before sunrise embarking on an 8-mile trek. My palms were already bleeding as we set out from pre-race burpees and pushups in the parking lot led by Joe himself and within moments of starting, we were filthy from head to toe thanks to a great barbed wire mud crawl and the previous nights' deluge. All of the Hurricane Heaters were split into random groups who started and finished the race as a team. Wes and I were part of "Team OD", along with fellow Spartan and good friend Tom McCormack who had been helping us raise awareness for Team Meg and MSKCC in the previous months. Crossing the finish line and completing the Super Spartan together roughly three hours after setting out was an awesome feeling and my third Spartan race proved to be yet another incredibly inspiring, painfully enjoyable, and meaningful experience.
As I look forward to the coming marathon this Sunday, I know two things for certain. Both that what I have learned through my involvement with Spartan in the past five months is what has led me to the starting line and that most importantly, keeping in mind these lessons and experiences is what will get me to the finish line. Remaining mindful of my ability to push past physical pain for the good of others is something I know that I must do and as Tony Loden so eloquently stated, "What the mind can perceive, the body can achieve". Embrace the pain, count my blessings, and put one foot in front of the other. And finally, why do I run? Because I can and if I can, I must. All of my thanks to everyone who has made me better and encouraged me along the way.

Dirty Jobs-Steve's Best Kept Secrets
In case you missed the latest cover of Rolling Stone magazine, like many other recent publications, Steve Jobs graces the cover. Leave it to my favorite magazine to dish the dirt on the relentless man, prior to and in the midst of his success. In an amazing article written by Jeff Goodell, we get the story of a man most of us knew via that cute little Apple emblem, but in true RS style, we also get the personal, tangible side of a "hippie kid reinvented," and some of the so-called "dirty deeds" he had to pull to find his success. For me, it's obvious he was bound for greatness LONG before he realized.
Here's 4 of the best from the article:
1- In TIME magazine, Jobs once called his girlfriend a skank! When he was 23 he found out he was having a daughter (that may or may not have been his) with his girlfriend at the moment. When interviewed by the magazine he painted his baby mama's lifestyle as a rather promiscuous one, having said: "28% of the male population of the United States could be the father."
2- In case you didn't know, Jobs was adopted, and at one point in time his mother regretted adopting him. Mama Jobs said he was viciously out of control when he was 2, so much so she said, "I felt we had made a mistake, and I wanted to return him." To calm him down she would basically ground him to the TV…irony? I think not.
3- Of course everyone who "makes it" has to start somewhere, and my favorite is always the successful person with the illegal background To make money while studying at UC-Berkeley, the 2 Steve's who would later start Apple (Jobs & Steve Wozniak) illegally made & sold boxes that gave people the ability to make free long-distance phone calls. However, the best part of this story isn't the invention itself but the fact the guys used this box to prank call the Vatican.
4- Jobs always had a way with politicians, primarily because of his radiant promises of future technology. But what politician would ever believe, let alone donate $20 million to, a man who had just left the biggest booming company in the world (Apple obviously) to start their own computer company?!?! The answer is Ross Perot, who was so captivated by Jobs that he invested that large sum in his then computer company called NeXT. For awhile it seemed like an empty, worthless waste of money. But like so many other well-thought out plans of the mastermind, all of his "NeXT" branded ideas, thoughts and creations were bought out by Apple when Jobs returned to the company. In reality, it may have taken awhile for Perot to see his return on investment, but let's be serious…with the success of Apple since the 90s, what was once thought of as a half-brained waste of money, might have been the most intelligent thing Ross Perot EVER did.

Hundreds of tuxedoed men (and a few brave ladies) gathered at the Washington Hilton Thursday night for boxing and booze in the name of charity. Fight Night, the annual black-tie gala to benefit Fight for Children, drew a list of local power brokers and raised $2.2 million for education programs in D.C.
Under a haze of cigar smoke -- the Hilton makes a rare smoking allowance for Fight Night -- guests devoured giant steaks and enjoyed performances by the Redskins cheerleaders and MC Hammer. Hammer, 50, took to the ring in a white tracksuit and performed a rousing live set (with no apparent lip-synching). The mostly white-haired attendees bobbed their heads unironically to "Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit." Continuing the '90s throwback entertainment, Hammer was followed by a laser show.
Fox's Bret Baier took the stage to pay tribute to the charity's late-founder, Joe Robert, and announced a personal donation of $5,000 to Fight for Children. He was followed onstage by a series of boxing greats, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Buster Douglas, Aaron Pryor and Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, who was awarded the Fight Night Hall of Fame belt.
Among the attendees: Mayor Vincent Gray, who was seen yukking it up with D.C. Councilmembers Michael Brown and Jack Evans, and former mayors Adrian Fenty and Tony Williams. Williams was spotted indulging in a cigar, surrounded by well-wishers, before the festivities began.
After Fight Night wrapped, the gentleman hopped across town to the annual Knock Out Abuse gala at the Washington Ritz-Carlton, where their female counterparts were enjoying a Moulin Rouge-themed party complete with windmills and shirtless men. Model Carre Otis, who penned a memoir on her experience with domestic abuse, delivered a set of off-the-cuff remarks.
"I come to these events with a piece of paper and I say [screw] the piece of paper because it's so much more about connecting with everybody," she announced.

By Jeb Blount and Guillermo Parra-Bernal
RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista's EBX Group, a once high-flying industrial conglomerate, began breaking up on Thursday, the latest victim of a screeching halt in a decade-long commodities boom.
Batista, the founder and vital force behind the oil, energy, port, shipbuilding and mining group, stepped down as chairman of MPX Energia SA
The magnate, who branded all his companies with an "X" for "the multiplication of wealth," will now attempt to restructure his companies to alleviate debt woes and other problems that have slashed more than $20 billion from his holdings in the group.
When restructuring of EBX ends, Batista will be left with between $1 billion to $2 billion of assets and $1.7 billion of long-term debt, a source with direct knowledge of EBX plans told Reuters. That is only a sliver of his former empire that was once valued at over $60 billion.
Most EBX Group shares are now almost worthless and debt trades at levels suggesting default, leading investors to question Batista's promise to invest more. Brazil's economy is also struggling, its currency weakening and Chinese demand - the driving force behind the Brazilian boom of the last decade - slowing.
"Batista's plight is like Brazil's, a sign we can no longer ignore the country's plight," said Alexandre Barros, founder of Early Warning, a Brasilia political risk consultancy. "Batista got investors excited about Brazil's potential, which was real, but like Brazil, Batista failed to deliver."
To avoid bankruptcy, Batista will have to sell most of his remaining stakes in EBX companies, the source with knowledge of the company's plans said. The only major asset likely to remain is LLX Logistica SA
The source asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to speak to the media. EBX declined to comment.
The main source of cash for the restructuring will be Batista's stakes in MPX and iron ore miner MMX Mineração e Metálicos SA
MMX on Thursday suspended operations for six months at its high-grade iron ore mine in Corumbá, Brazil, near Bolivia's border. The suspension is an effort to preserve investors' capital, according to a securities filing.
"These assets (MPX and MMX) are cheap compared to their real value," the source said.
Batista, who borrowed against the value of his stock only to see the value of his companies plunge, will sell his holdings in MPX and MMX to pay back $1 billion owed to Brazil's Itau-Unibanco Holding SA
Batista will also cut his debt to Abu Dhabi sovereign-wealth fund Mubadala
Batista incurred the debt when he sold a 5.56 percent stake of preferred shares in his holding company Centennial Investments to Mubadala in March 2012.
The restructuring should take several months, the source said, adding that the biggest challenge will be reorganizing OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações SA
OGX, after declaring three of its oil fields non-commercial on Monday, must be reduced to fraction of its size, the source said. Until earlier this year it was Brazil's No. 2 oil company by market value.
The new OGX is unlikely to be able to support payments on $3.63 billion of bonds, the source said. OGX debt due in 2018 and 2022 is already trading at less than 20 percent of face value, a sign that investors expect a default.
Shipbuilder OSX will have to sell its oil-production vessels to pay for the abandonment of its half-finished shipyard at LLX's Port of Açu. The remainder of OSX will belong to EBX, the source said.
MPX stock, which had fallen 42 percent this year, jumped as much as 13 percent before closing up 10 percent in Sao Paulo on Thursday. OGX, rose 21 percent, MMX rose 8.5 percent, and LLX rose 5 pct. OSX fell 8.7 percent.
Batista's departure from MPX came after the operator of coal and natural-gas fired power plants canceled a 1.2-billion-real ($528 million) sale of stock to controlling and minority shareholders early on Thursday.
The offer became untenable as market conditions deteriorated and Grupo BTG Pactual SA
Instead, MPX will sell 800 million reais of stock at 6.45 reais a share in a private placement in which Batista, partner E.ON SE
E.ON has agreed to buy up to 367 million reais worth of stock in the private placement, while BTG Pactual committed to buy the remainder. E.ON owns 36 percent of MPX, a portion that could increase to as much as 38 percent under the new plan.
Despite Batista's 29 percent stake, and a shareholder agreement giving him a say in MPX operations, the company is now fully controlled by E.ON, the source said. Batista is unlikely to buy shares in the private placement.
"MPX is the best company in the group and they are working quickly to insulate the company and separate it from the risk associated with Batista's EBX group," said Ricardo Correa, energy company analyst with Ativa Corretora, a Rio de Janeiro brokerage.
BTG Pactual is expected to have an 11 percent stake in MPX after the private placement. Media representatives for BTG declined to comment.
MPX said proceeds from the sale will be used to strengthen the company's balance sheet and prepare it for growth. It wants to participate in upcoming auctions for rights to sell thermal and wind power to the national grid through year-end, MPX Chief Executive Eduardo Karrer said on Thursday's conference call.

One such find is Barbara Daly concealer.
(Pic from Tesco Direct)
Now, I've been a fan of Bobbi Brown's award-winning Creamy Concealer for years. I've used it for FOTDs on this blog. I have dark undereye circles which unfortunately appear to be genetic, and found BB's concealer to be the best for hiding them. Unfortunately, it's £18, and I can no longer afford to spend that on a concealer. Heck, I don't even spend that on food per week.
But I seem to have found a perfect substitute in Barbara Daly's concealer, in Fair. The formula is similar to the BB one, and both concealers come in 1.4g. It is just as easy to blend, with the added bonus that it only costs £5! Bargain!
One downside, though - the shade range isn't great. I could only find Fair, Warm, and Medium available, whereas Bobbi Brown offers 14 different shades.
However, if like me you find that one of the 3 Barbara Daly shades matches your skin tone, I highly recommend you go for it :)
The Barbara Daly makeup range is available to buy in most Tesco stores, and on their website.

TONIO, PagliacciRODRIGUE, Don Carlos
Italian born baritone Marco Nisticò's impressive combination of beautiful tone, exquisite artistry, and superior stagecraft has delighted audiences throughout North America, South America, and Europe. Praised as a performer of "gravitas, unforced eloquence, and refined vocalism" by the Classical Review, Marco Nisticò has become a widely-sought singing actor for both comedic and dramatic roles.
Marco Nisticò's 2010-11 season includes returning to the roster of the Metropolitan Opera for its productions of Carmen and La traviata, the role of Dulcamara in L'elisir d'amore in a return to New York City Opera, Germont in La traviata with Opera de Puerto Rico, Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Opera New Jersey, and appearing as a featured soloist in the Bel Canto Gala at the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Arts Center. In the 2011-12 season he returned to Sarasota Opera to sing as Sharpless in Madama Butterfly.
Recent season highlights include his return to Sarasota Opera to sing both Giacomo in Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco and Germont in La traviata, the role of Buonafede in Haydn's Il mondo della luna in a return to Gotham Chamber Opera, Dulcamara in L'elisir d'amore with Toledo Opera, and joining the roster of the Metropolitan Opera for its production of Carmen. In the summer of 2009 he sang Dulcamara in a return to the Caramoor Festival and Sharpless with Guadalajara Opera.
Marco Nisticò's international credits include the roles of Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia and both Duroseaux and Renaud in Auber's Manon Lescaut with Wexford Festival Opera, Taddeo in L'italiana in Algeri at the ASLICO festival in Italy, Sir John Gotch and Curato Mendham in Rota's La visita meravigliosa in Fermo, Italy, and Starveling in A Midsummer Night's Dream at Teatro di San Carlo. In 2001 he appeared in Bologna and Amsterdam as Figaro and toured in this role extensively throughout the Netherlands. He performed the role of Buffo in The Impresario at Opera de Monte-Carlo, and appeared as Somarone in Beatrice et Benedict at both the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris and Germany's Baden-Baden Theater through European Union Opera.
Mr. Nisticò lives in New York City.

The riders came to the South Park off Plaza Circle on their own or in small packs from various starting points around town. The event was tied to National Bike to Work Week, May 13 to 17.
About 40 people showed up to the park, where they received a continental breakfast, free T-shirts and an assortment of water bottles and other trinkets handed out by the city and other local exhibitors.
"The city of Patterson is a perfect town for an event like this because of its (small) size," said Yvette Davis, a regional planner with the San Joaquin Council of Governments who helped organize the event. "People can ride or walk to work relatively easy, and downtown is accessible, so it's a great place to promote awareness about commuting in general."
With a backdrop of rising prices at the gas pump, growing awareness about global warming, increased traffic congestion and mounting concern over health problems related to physical inactivity, Davis hopes the event will spark interest beyond last week's efforts to get people to hop on their two-wheelers.
The riders included daily commuters and casual riders such as Patterson Mayor Luis Molina.
"It's really important for Patterson to be involved in providing healthy options for our community members," Molina said. "Biking to work, taking public transportation, doing some walking and taking advantage of our parks all promote active living. People need to see the benefits of these options."
Charles Wright, 45, an experienced cyclist who joined the ride from Starbucks on Rogers Road, said his trip into town represented "one less car" on the road.
"The nice thing is, once people try it, especially on a day like today, they'll realize: 'Oh, that was really fun. I enjoyed my ride. I liked my commute," Wright said. "And I always hear of at least a few people then who will do it regularly."
By pledging to ride instead of drive one day a week, participants could register for raffle prizes, which include three bike commuter prize baskets worth $250 each, six $125 Visa Gift Cards and monthly gym memberships.
In addition, local companies competed for prizes by aiming for the highest percentage of employee participation.
Carpooling, riding the bus and commuting by bicycle all can help the environment, Davis said.
"I encourage everyone to try it," she said. "It doesn't work for everybody every day, but every little bit helps."

In the emotional years since the murder of Yeardley Love in May 2010, her mother, Sharon, and older sister, Lexie, have had one thing to distract them from from their sadness, a "driving force," as Lexie called it, that has kept them afloat when little else could.
On Sunday, that driving force — the Yeardley Love Field at the shared alma mater of the two sisters and their mother, Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson — will be dedicated at a Sept. 9 ceremony expected to include hundreds of family members, friends and current students.
"Our good friends were our lifeboat," Sharon Love said this week, recalling the family's journey.
"Good friends, and total strangers," Sharon Love said. "We've gotten so much support from so many, both emotionally and financially. That's all I felt kept us afloat. It still does."
Yeardley Reynolds Love was days from graduation at University of Virginia when she was found dead in her apartment near campus at age 22. George Huguely V, now 24, was convicted earlier this year of second-degree murder in her death and last week he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
After enduring the trial and media frenzy around it, Sharon and Lexie declined to discuss the sentencing of Huguely, referring simply to a family statement that said, in part, "We are relieved to put this chapter behind us. … We would like to thank everyone for showing us such kindness during the most difficult time of our lives."
They said their focus is now on Yeardley Love Field, the first of many works they expect to emerge from the One Love Foundation, an organization the family formed in the wake of her death. Since the campaign began, Yeardley's family has used it as a "mental booster," said Lexie Love, Yeardley's older sister, who was 25 at the time of the incident.
"We'd have our good days, and bad days," she said. "If we were upset, it would be a distraction, a positive distraction for us. It kept us busy."
'She's always with them'
On Monday afternoon, that positive idea became a reality for Lexie, who got her first look at the $1.2 million turf field built both out of, and for, Love.
"All the hard work that everybody has put in throughout the past two years has really made a huge impression on me," she said.
"To actually see it with my own eyes, it's unbelievable," she said. "It made us realize Yeardley must have been loved by so many."
Sharon Love, of Cockeysville, who had seen the field twice before, was still struck Monday as she took in just how big it is. The field, lined in white, light blue and an electric blue — Yeardley's class colors — was aesthetically just how Yeardley would have wanted it, she said.
But she also noted that the school's old grass field, however unpredictably it may have made a lacrosse or field hockey ball bounce, might have been more Yeardley's style.
"Ironically, her knees always bothered her on turf fields," Sharon said. "She liked playing on grass."
If that's true, NDP's current crop of student-athletes are taking the turf much better than its namesake would have.
Mary Bartel, Yeardley's lacrosse coach and chair of the physical education department, said that after the first day of practice on the field, the fall athletes simply laid at the center of the field on the NDP logo and soaked in their new field.
Sharon Love said the field will bring up the school's athletic programs, something Lexie is glad her sister and family could assist.
"Having Yeardley be a part of it, it's extra special," she said. "I hope that it is for all the girls who play on it too. She's always with them out there."
Sharon Robinson, who is Yeardley's and Lexie's cousin and has served as the family's spokeswoman over the past two years, said that almost immediately after Yeardley's death, donations began pouring in to the One Love Foundation. Everyone, she said, wanted to know what they could do to help.

This undated photo provided by the Illinois Lottery shows Urooj Khan, 46, of Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood, posing with a winning lottery ticket. The Cook County medical examiner said Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, that Khan was fatally poisoned with cyanide July 20, 2012, a day after he collected nearly $425,000 in lottery winnings. (AP Photo/Illinois Lottery)
CHICAGO (AP) — Urooj Khan had returned to Chicago from the hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia inspired to lead a better life and had sworn off buying lottery tickets — except just this once.
To his astonishment, the scratch-off ticket was a $1 million winner. But the day after the state issued the check last July, Khan suddenly died, leaving authorities with a baffling mystery and a homicide investigation.
After initially ruling that he died of natural causes, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office now has determined that Khan, 46, ingested a lethal dose of cyanide. The case was reopened after a relative pleaded for an expanded screening, and the Chicago police now are cooperating in an investigation into who might have killed him.
"It's pretty unusual," said Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina, commenting on the rarity of cyanide poisonings. "I've had one, maybe two cases out of 4,500 autopsies I've done."
Khan, who owned a number of dry cleaners, stopped in at the convenience store near his home in the West Rogers Park neighborhood on the city's North Side in June and bought a ticket for an instant lottery game.
Convenience store clerk Ashur Oshana told The Associated Press on Monday that Khan had gone on the pilgrimage and told him he was done gambling. But Khan couldn't resist and scratched off the winner in front of Oshana.
"Right away he grabbed my hand," Oshana said. "He kissed my hand and kissed my head and gave me $100. He was really happy."
At an Illinois Lottery ceremony days later, Khan recalled that he jumped up and down in the store and repeatedly shouted, "I hit a million!"
"Winning the lottery means everything to me," he said at the June 26 ceremony, also attended by his wife, Shabana Ansari; their daughter, Jasmeen Khan; and several friends. He said he would put some of his winnings into his businesses and donate some to a children's hospital.
Khan opted for a lump sum of slightly more than $600,000. After taxes, the winnings amounted to about $425,000, said lottery spokesman Mike Lang. The check was issued from the state Comptroller's Office on July 19, the day before Khan died. It was cashed Aug. 15, Lang said, explaining that if a lottery winner dies, the money typically goes to his or her estate.
Calls to Khan's family went unanswered Monday. A knock on the door at the family's small, two-story house late Monday afternoon wasn't answered.
Khan was pronounced dead July 20 at a hospital, but Cina would not say where Khan was when he fell ill, citing the ongoing investigation. The external exam showed no signs of trauma on Khan's body.
No autopsy was done because, at the time, the Medical Examiner's Office didn't generally perform them on people 45 and older unless the death was suspicious, Cina said. The cutoff age has since been raised to age 50. After the basic toxicology screening for opiates, cocaine and carbon monoxide came back negative, the death was ruled a result of the narrowing and hardening of coronary arteries.
Cyanide can be inhaled, swallowed or injected. Deborah Blum, an expert on poisons who has written about the detectives who pioneered forensic toxicology, said using cyanide to kill someone has become rare partially because it's difficult to obtain and easy to detect — often leaving blue splotches on a victim's skin.
"It has a really strong, bitter taste, so you would know you had swallowed something bad if you had swallowed cyanide," Blum said. "But if you had a high enough dose it wouldn't matter, because ... a good lethal dose will take you out in less than five minutes."
It takes only a small amount of fine cyanide powder to be deadly, she said, as it disrupts the ability of cells to transport oxygen around the body, causing a convulsive, violent death.
"It essentially kills you in this explosion of cell death," she said. "You feel like you're suffocating."
After the initial cause of death was released, a relative of Khan's asked authorities to look into the case further, Cina said. He would not identify the relative. The full results came back in November.
"She (the morgue worker) then reopened the case and did more expansive toxicology, including all the major drugs of use, all the common prescription drugs and also included I believe strychnine and cyanide in there just in case something came up," Cina said. "And in fact cyanide came up in this case."
Chicago Police Department spokeswoman Melissa Stratton confirmed the department was now investigating the death, and said detectives are working closely with the Medical Examiner's Office.
Investigators will likely exhume the body, Cina said.
Oshana said he was shocked to hear that someone might have killed Khan.
"I'm very sorry for him," Oshana said.

KVUE News
KVUE has learned that a foster child is currently living in the Round Rock offices of Child Protective Services … and there are similar examples happening across the state.
The 17-year-old who is in the state's care sleeps in the office building and is chaperoned by two CPS case workers when he's not in school.
Chris Van Duesen with Child Protective Services says growing case loads is the main reason the teen, who has special needs, has been calling the CPS offices in Round Rock home for more than a week.
'It's a difficult situation and it's certainly not ideal (but) unfortunately, it's the situation we're in," said Van Duesen.
The current teenager staying here is the second in two weeks.
"We don't have enough placements for children who have very specialized services," said Van Duesen. "These are typically children who have either have behavioral or emotional problems or have some sort of criminal history that doesn't make them fit for a regular foster home."
There are currently more than 4,000 children waiting to be adopted in the state of Texas. In Travis County, there are close to 200.
An ad campaign, which kicked off in early April, is designed to encourage more Texans to adopt older children, a task which gets more and more difficult for youngsters over the age of six.
"I wish it were as easy as taking a donation or finding a place or asking for more money in the state budget," said Van Duesen. "It's just that, I don't think it's that easy of a fix."
A regional staff of CPS caseworkers is currently trying to come up with plans on how to best provide for youngsters with special needs.

The Seven Sisters range, Saltfjellet/Svartisen National Park, Børgefjell Nationalpark, Oksskolten summit, Lomsdal/Visten National Park, Heilhornet summit - these are just some of the most famous mountains in Helgeland, every one of them offering a fantastic experience of the great outdoors.
The Seven Sisters mountain range, with its characteristic seven summits, lies on Alstenøya Island. Marked trails lead you to every summit, with fairly easy hiking terrain. The summits can be scaled one at a time or all in the same hike. An average hiker should set aside at least one full day for all the summits.
Saltfjellet/Svartisen National Park has the most varied landscape of all the national parks in Norway, with a number of valleys and mountains offering great hiking experiences. Storvollen, just south of the Arctic Circle, is a good starting point for hikes in the area, with easily accessible valleys such as Stormdalen and Tespdalen nearby. Tespdalen offers especially good fishing all the way up past the Arctic Circle. After passing the beautiful waterfalls, the landscape opens up into the wide open high plains of Saltfjellet.
Børgefjell National Park is one of Norway's oldest and largest parks, covering 1,447 square kilometres. This is the realm of the polar fox and the mountain trout, and a hike in these mountains will offer great outdoor experiences. The park is best suited for experienced mountain hikers, even if the terrain is fairly easy. There are several paths into the park, the most used are from Oksvollen in Harvassdalen and Simskardet in Grane.
The Kjensvasshytta cabin is the ideal starting point for hiking Oksskolten, the highest mountain in Northern Norway, 1,916 metres above sea level. The cabin lies about one hour's drive from Umbukta Fjellstue (mountain cabin). It takes about four hours to hike to the summit. You can also start from Umbukta and follow a marked trail to Kjensvasshytta and further. The hike is a fantastic treat for anyone who loves mountain hiking.
A continuous trail through Nordland, providing a sample of all that the county's landscape has to offer. The route is 570 kilometres long, with the northernmost point at Bjørnefjell in Narvik and the southernmost at Harvasstua in Hattfjelldal.
Lomsdal/Visten National Park is there – lush, quiet and beautiful – for those who seek peace and quiet. This is true wilderness, where tent, map and compass are absolute requirements. Here you will find plenty of hiking options and good fishing.
Heilhornet mountain in Bindal reaches 1,058 metres above sea level, providing a great vista towards the Børgefjell massif in the east, Namdalen to the south, and the Seven Sisters range in the north. A marked trail takes you to the summit, and the hike takes two to four hours depending on how quickly you choose to ascend.
Several municipalities in Helgeland hold group hikes with marked trails to 10-15 summits in their own municipality. The hikes vary in difficulty, and several of them are suitable for children.
In addition, there are countless other hiking opportunities in Helgeland. Contact the various tourist offices for further suggestions.

Pack your walking boots and explore Helgeland on foot. Hiking options abound, whether you follow marked trails or make a foray into the wilderness.

Narrow your search
With a thick chassis and features that don't rise above the pack, the Fujitsu M2010 will have a hard time breaking through the clutter of less-expensive systems.
The Fujitsu Stylistic S01 is designed for seniors with a new look for Android that anyone can use.
Pricing not available
The Fujitsu HandyDrive isn't very small or exceptionally well-designed, but like all the best things in life, it's fast and cheap. At 26 cents per gigabyte, the HandyDrive gives the best deal for your dollar, and we recommend it to those who are running out of space on their system hard drives.
Ambitious but flawed, the Fujitsu LifeBook U810 has more of a traditional laptop design than other UMPCs, but the otherwise excellent keyboard is marred by the loss of several important keys.
It's expensive, but the Fujitsu LifeBook T4020 convertible tablet offers top-notch performance and an integrated optical drive in a lightweight case.
The Fujitsu Port Replicator offers a decent array of ports, but not much more.
Pricing not available
Fujitsu's ScanSnap S1500 is a fast, compact, and easy-to-use scanner for digitally archiving all your paper documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 is made for heavy tablet use; this pricey but powerful convertible tablet offers an indoor/outdoor screen that swivels both ways, which may help you forget about its flimsy keyboard.
For business users who don't want to compromise, the Fujitsu LifeBook T4220 is both a full-fledged laptop and a handwriting-friendly tablet--though we recommend tweaking the base configuration.
If you have primarily carpets in your home and want a sub-$200 vacuum cleaner that can help with your allergies and get pet hair and fine particles out of your carpets, the Hoover would make a good addition to your cleaning lineup.

Pirates (13-11-1-4, 31 points) at IceCaps (17-13-1-2, 37 Points), 6:00 PM EST
St. John's, NL – The Pirates and IceCaps will meet for the middle game of their three game series tonight at 6 PM in St. John's at the MileOne Centre. Puck drop is set for 6 PM Eastern time for tonight's game, which was rescheduled from Saturday night due to travel and weather issues.
St. John's was victorious in the opening game of the series yesterday afternoon, defeating the Pirates 3-1. St. John's scored once in the second and twice in the third period, with goals coming from Adam Lowry, Brenden Kitchton, and Jerome Sampson, while Andy Miele had the Pirates' tally. Miele's tally, his 14th of the year, gave him sole possession of 15th place all-time in points in Pirates history, passing Hall of Famers Martin Gendron and Ryan Mulhern, and puts him two points behind Hall of Famer Chris Jensen for 14th place. Miele has registered 15 points in his last 10 games and currently ranks 13th in the AHL in scoring.
St. John's owns a 3-0 record against the Pirates this season, and have won the last 4 games against the Pirates dating back to last season. However, the Pirates penalty kill has been excellent against the IceCaps this season, holding them to a 2 for 18 (11%) success rate.
KeyBank Key to the Game
Seeking a Spark: The Pirates offense has been sluggish against the IceCaps this season, and will need to break out against St. John's' goaltending tonight in order to get the victory. In addition to leading scorer Andy Miele, look for the Pirates to rely on some of their younger players and fresh faces, including Corey Trivino, to spark the offense.
Tonight's game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County.

Hello! I'm going to talk to my doctor about this tomorrow, but I wanted to get some thoughts from other people.
I'm on pregnancy #3. In the first pregnancy I had severe PIH. Never spilled any protein. Never any other symptoms. BP became too high and they induced at 37 weeks. My son had IUGR. Second pregnancy, my bp started going up at about week 20 and everyone said that I would likely develop pre-e. But what was going on didn't look very much like pre-e. For some reason I'd randomly stop urinating for 24+ hours. I wasn't dehydrated. I would just stop peeing. Then I'd swell up in my face and hands. After that my bp would spike. I'd have sometimes really severe flank pain. I'd always joke, "My kidneys hurt again!" Then suddenly I'd start peeing again. Swelling would subside somewhat. BP would go back down. Everything would be fine until this struck again. I had a ton of tests and no one was able to figure out what was going on. At about 38 weeks my creatinine level changed, which indicated the start of renal failure. I was diagnosed with pre-e and induced. I lost about 20 pounds of water weight instantly and things went back to normal.
Now I'm on pregnancy #3. This was a GREAT pregnancy. Of course I have been closely monitored because of my past pregnancies, but bps have been stellar and I'd been feeling great. All of a sudden the no peeing, swelling up, high bp thing is going on. It happened yesterday. My face got really fat and I couldn't take off my rings. I noticed that I hadn't peed as much as I should have. Took my bp and it was 150/100. OB sent me to L&D. It was still 150/100 when I got there. Then, all of a sudden, the swelling subsided and I started to pee like a champ. BP settled back down to 140/90. Today my face is back to normal, I'm three pounds lighter than yesterday, and my bp is 120/85.
OB prescribed labetalol, as is normally indicated. The thing is, I don't think this is going to do anything. It never did in my last pregnancy. If anything, I'm concerned that it might just mask an important symptom of renal failure. I've found that a whole lot of rest and laying on my left side helps a lot.
I am thinking there's something different going on in my body than pre-e. Maybe some sort of blockage that's causing urine to back up. I was joking with my husband that maybe my baby is like an enlarged prostate or something. I'm just curious if anyone has experienced anything like this. Everyone's always been stumped by the fact that I just stop peeing. Surely I'm not the only one that's had this happen.

GLSL Hacker is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) tool for realtime 3D prototyping and coding. It's based on widely used standards such as GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), Lua or Python. GLSL Hacker is intended for developers (from newbies to confirmed) and technical 3D artists.
GLSL Hacker exposes a simple (and low level API) in Lua and Python that you can use to code your graphics tests and demos. Here is, in few words, how GLSL Hacker works: a GLSL Hacker demo is essentially made up of one or several initialization scripts (Lua and/or Python) and one or several per frame scripts (Lua and/or Python). Initialization scripts are executed once at the beginning of the demo and frame scripts are executed every frame. That's all.
With GLSL Hacker, you can create GLSL shaders, load 3D objects (*.3ds, *.obj, *.fbx) and images (*.jpg, *.tga, *.png, etc.), do post processing, create PhysX 3 actors (rigid bodies, fluids, clothes, joints), play with your webcam, control all your logic with Lua and Python and more...
GLSL Hacker is free for commercial or non-commercial use. That's all!
