You have to be a gladiator first, person second.
You have to be a gladiator first, person second.
Fitz doesn't care about getting caught anymore.
Harrison tells Abby to go over a cliff for Olivia Pope.
Get revenge or be a gladiator. You can't have both.
Fitz makes love to Olivia after the Inaugural Ball.
Harrison is fine with doing wrong things for the right reasons.
I'm their gladiator.
Hello Olivia.
A nice surprise.
I need you.
You don't handle me.
You're mean.
You have me.
Do you need anything?
Fitz declares his love for Olivia
You might want to use that.
I came to see my dad.
Tell me to stop calling.

Uganda: Positive External Assessment and Improving Health Resources
Update to the Global Board
(April 2009)
This reporting period covers activities for October 2008-April 2009. During this time, the following activities were achieved:
- Pro bono impact assessment of The Hunger Project (THP)-Uganda's work by an independent, external consulting firm;
- Consolidation of epicenter building components by completing Mbarara Epicenter nurses' quarters;
- Maintaining and ensuring effective partnerships with other organizations including Ford Foundation and the government;
- Ensuring epicenter food security;
- Community training and mindset change through Vision, Commitment and Action Workshops (VCAWs); and
- Ensuring community and women's empowerment through the African Woman Food Farmer Initiative (AWFFI) microfinance program and other integrated programs in the epicenters.
The most significant aspect about this period was the impact assessment of THP-Uganda's work. Through this study, we were happy to have our work validated and know that we have had a significant impact in the lives of our partners despite our very small budget and other challenges. The study also concluded with recommendations for improvement, especially in the area of impact assessment and reporting.

Details on Progress
Areas of Achievement
Food security achieved
- 20 tons of grain stored in epicenter food banks, totaling 7.2 million Ush (US$3,349) on revolving food accounts. Partners have food stored at the household level until the next harvest and have diversified crops for better nutrition.
- 38 hectares of cassava was planted in Kiboga Epicenter for multiplication. The epicenter nutrition project produced over 1,000 kg of nutritious porridge, which was sold to schools and communities, especially to pregnant mothers.
- 4,000 kg of improved seed was distributed to partners for increasing production in coming season.
HIV/AIDS awareness increased
- 7,800 partners participated in the HIV/AIDS programs leading to a cumulative total of 83,000. As a result, youth and men's clubs were established to encourage "responsible fatherhood" and healthy living behavior in communities.
Increased access to health services
- A total of 7,095 patients accessed health services at epicenter health clinics compared to 10,200 in the previous period, contributing to a 30% decrease in morbidity.
- Animators continued to sensitize partners on the use of mosquito nets and use of pit latrines. Health awareness workshops were organized for 6,400 partners in Mbale and Iganga Epicenters. Film shows on sanitation, health, malaria and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including AIDS were shown to partners. A total of four schools were visited, reaching 3,090 people.
- Four health clubs have been formed, and action plans that included an emphasis on body hygiene and use of sanitary pit latrines were created.
Improved child and maternal health
- 25 schools were visited by epicenter health staff for immunizations. A total of 10,165 children were immunized against killer diseases and 709 mothers accessed antenatal services in the epicenter clinics.
Increased awareness in sanitation, hygiene and environmental protection
- Water treatment tablets were accessed by our partners in Iganga through the Population Services International (PSI) partnership.
- The number of animators training people in water purification technologies increased to 253. Water-borne illnesses were reduced by over 70% in the epicenters.
- During this reporting period, in partnership with the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA), THP established a tree nursery at Kiboga Epicenter that provides 80,000 tree seedlings of pine and eucalyptus species to partners.
Changed mindsets, increased literacy and improved access to early child education
- A total of 7,625 partners participated in VCAWs leading to a cumulative total of 183,625. An additional 1,525 animators were trained, leading to a cumulative total of 25,377; and an additional 118 "trainers of trainers," or TOTs, were trained for a cumulative total of 712 TOTs.
- The six epicenter nursery schools have a daily attendance of 290 pupils who receive a nutritious meal. 33 Functional Adult Literacy (FAL) classes comprised of 560 learners were mobilized in Mbale, leading to a cumulative total of 256 in all epicenters. Of this total, 223 classes have been handed over to the local governments. More than 90% of the adult learners are women.
Women's economic empowerment achieved
- Partners are in the final stages of registering a fifth rural bank in Kiringente Epicenter, targeting a minimum of 500 fully paid-up members with shares for the start up. So far, a total of 1,240,000 Ush (US$577) worth of shares and 13,878,950 Ush (US$6,455) accumulated savings have been mobilized towards the formation of this bank.
- A total of Ush 384,100,000 (US$178,651) was disbursed by AWFFI-Uganda to 992 partners (747 women and 245 men) organized in 114 groups. Timely repayment was 93%.
Program consolidation and enhanced village and local government partnerships
- Mbale Epicenter partners mobilized 33,434 bricks; 38 trips of river sand; and 42 trips of pit sand. They are now ready to start construction. More materials are in the villages ready to be ferried to the site. The district local government finalized provision of its share of the contribution towards the construction.
- Construction of the Mbarara Epicenter health staff house was finalized in partnership with Mbarara District as part of the epicenter program consolidation.
Areas of Challenge
Unpredictable weather changes
- The prolonged dry spell/season is affecting food production. Partners can not plant in time and this leads to low harvests.
Constrained delivery of health services due to scarcity of drugs at the epicenters
- Reduction of local government district health budgets has led to scarcity of drugs in the health centers, hence impacting negatively on the delivery of health services.
- We continued to uphold partnerships with government at both local and national levels. Our work was supported by relevant ministries concerned with our work in addition to the President's personal endorsement of THP.
- The Rural Banks are considering the possibility of receiving funds from the government's program, "Prosperity for All," which is coordinated by the microfinance support centre.
- We entered phase two of a grant partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in December 2008, and began implementation for the multiplication of 2,961 disease-resistant cassava variety in Kiboga Epicenter. During this period, 41 hectares have been established in communities.
- We also received a small grant from the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) for establishing a tree nursery at Kiboga Epicenter. The seedlings are given to epicenter partners for planting in their fields to improve on the environment.
- Ford Foundation Regional Office in Nairobi has awarded THP-Uganda a grant for improving our microfinance program and for partner business improvement.
- An implementation partnership with Population Services International (PSI) was strengthened. This is a health marketing and education program that has been operating in Iganga Epicenter in partnership with THP to sensitize partners in water purification technologies so as to reduce water-borne illnesses including diarrhea, cholera, and dysentery.
- In Mbale Epicenter, the Farm Enhancement and Forestry Conservation Project (FEFCO) has established a tree plantation at Busoba near the site where the epicenter building will be located. In addition, in partnership with Red Cross, our animators in Mbale Epicenter distributed 240 packets of water purifiers to partners after a sensitization on safe water chain.
- We entered into a partnership with the Ministry of Health under the Health, Sanitation and HIV/AIDS Program. Mobilization and sensitization in hygiene and sanitation was done in communities and schools in Mbale and Iganga Epicenters. We screened film shows with recordings on HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sanitation, and hygiene messages, and distributed other IEC materials to schools and community members.
Broader Awareness and Advocacy
An article about the 2008 winners of the Africa Prize for Leadership, Janet Nkubana and Faiza Jama Mohamed was published in Uganda's print media, The Monitor, on October 22, 2008.
THP-Uganda participated in the commemoration of the International Day for Eradication of Poverty in October 2008. A three-day program to mark the event in Uganda was organized by the Parliamentary Forum on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Events that we participated in included a book exhibition in the Ugandan Parliamentary Lobby displaying THP's literature and a procession walk on Kampala streets for a clean-up drive in one of the slum areas in Kampala. THP work was again documented in the government-owned newspaper The New Vision on October 16, 2008.
THP-Uganda also participated in the events to mark the International Women's Day in March 2009. The theme for Uganda was "Increasing Investment in Girl Child Education as a Pre-requisite for Development." We were part of the National Planning Committee for the event and Iganga Epicenter Nursery school and women partners performed at the function. The Minister of Education was impressed by the poem about early childhood education that was presented by Iganga Epicenter nursery school children on the importance of educating the girl child and women's empowerment. The Guest of Honor was His Excellency the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni. THP's message for the day was also published in the National Newspaper.
The mobilization activities on hygiene, sanitation and HIV/AIDS in Mbale Epicenter were also covered and broadcasted by one of the local radio stations, Open Gate Radio. This program coincided with District Sanitation Week, which was launched in Mbale on March 18, 2009. All this gives impetus to the work of ending hunger within the country.
Recent Innovations
A strong partnership between THP animators and schools in Mbale Epicenter has been forged, forming "youth health clubs" to address issues of hygiene, sanitation and HIV/AIDS. We adopted film shows as one of the methods for information dissemination to our partners in health, food production and sanitation programs. The films assist in easier adoption since we have proved that people learn faster when visual aids are used.
Impact Assessment
The main objective for impact assessment during this period was to have a clear understanding of a results-oriented monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework in all epicenter communities with impacts well documented and disseminated. To this end, the external impact assessment report provided a good opportunity for THP-Uganda to prove the effectiveness of the Epicenter Strategy and its methodology in empowering communities to end their own hunger. As a result, recommendations for improvement have already caught our attention as points for reflection and improvement.
During this period, we trained new sets of research teams and retrained the old ones. In addition, we developed a logframe for all epicenters pegged on the set goals. This should ease activity implementation and impact tracking by partners, staff, district officials and/or external researchers.

And in the end
And in the end the trip turned out to be so fun! I am so glad my parents let me go and have this experience. I made a lot of new friends along the way and defiantly lived a different lifestyle for 2 weeks. I got to see some places Some people will never get to see in their life time. I had the opportunity to see what the pro Chinese teams were like. China was defiantly not what I expected but it was all worth the trip. Although the volleyball aspect wasn't exactly how I wanted it go, it made me realize how amazing I have it at OU. The team I played with in China sometimes didn't mesh well and it made me so grateful to have the teammates I have at Ohio. I cant ask for a better place to go to school and to play with the best teammates someone could ask for. I had a blast playing with different people but I am ready to get back to work at OU to win that MAC championship!!

Stories can be told in words or in pictures, but come to life when the reader can imagine a world created in words, and see images that relate to a physical reality as well as a fabulous environment. Such a story knows no limits. I call them "fables."
Is 70 the new 60, or the new 70? How are the elderly, defined by the Census Bureau as those over 65, living?
A photograph is a work of art that can be powerful if it combines what one knows, understands, and feels. A photograph illuminates, records, and interprets.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
Those of us who know any Canaan, like Canaan dog Keren, already love and treasure the special nature of the Canaan---a mixture of affection, independence, and the untamed wilderness. But even many people who love dogs, don't appreciate this ancient Israeli breed. Owners and breeders of the Canaan feel like Cinderellas, hoping someday that our breed will get the recognition and respect that it deserves.
In the State of the Union, the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States, was unable to deal with the issue threatening the future of humanity: "The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change." I seek to understand how our political system is unable to act on our behalf. As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
It seems natural for a parent or grandparent to give things to a child. But what gifts will have a lasting impact? The most valuable gift may not be a thing, but a relationship, a value, a skill, or an outlook. I try to create books that can help build those valuable gifts.
Can children learn to be creative in a world of e-readers? Prehistoric children did not run amuck; they went to 'school' in caves where they had art and writing lessons, according to a conference on the Archeology of Childhood.
Living with Age will treat old age as a chronic condition to be fought at every turn.
Do you need to raise funds for your non-profit in these difficult economic times?
I record memories and relationships, because that is what a good photographic portrait of an elder provides—affordably.
Economic meltdown? The government rushes to bail out investment banks, banking instututions, and investors in mortgages. What about people, for example elders and artists? Here are some thoughts about a new New Deal.
My appreciation of Salem MA has been confirmed. Salem's historic downtown has been recognized as one of the 10 best neighborhoods
It is amazing to see the young male cat, Chunky, and the older Canaani female dog, Keren, living in harmony. Keren and Chunky have become real pals. Might this example of interspecies communication be a model for how humans of different cultures or identities could relate to each other?
What is photography? A great question to fill many idle hours! You tell me you that you, as a new and enthusiastic photographer, are confused.
What is wrong with the art world?? How does a reproduction of a photograph by another worker (I hesitate to call him a photographer) become valuable art? Is it not decadent to reward the copyist (is "thief" accurate?) rather than the original artist?
It is more difficult to find out about progress in Salem, than the impact of the plant in Columbia. The spokesperson for Dominion, the owner of the Salem Harbor Plant, has not responded to my repeated queries.
The most wonderful events, next to the birth of a human child or grandchild, are the birth of puppies...and the bittersweet moment when the eight-week-old puppy leaves with the new owner.
About 700 people visited the art exhibit in the historic Old Town Hall of Salem, with comments reported like "how special the event made our trip to Salem!"
Installing the Footbridge: Like Threading a Needle
"Building bridges" has a dramatic symbolism. But there is also drama in building a bridge. And sometimes drama comes to us. A photographer has no choice but to document the event.
Claudin Poyant is a professional photographer who does very fine work interpreting scenes and places on Cape Cod.
A year ago, when I exhibited at the Row Gallery at Artists Row in Salem, I lamented the lack of venues for contemporary art in Salem. Fortunately, that is changing.
Seeing History and the Environment in Salem, MA
Salem is a proud city with a proud past. As tourists, we see grand homes and sailing ships, shops with witch costumes, cobbled streets, and a once-busy harbor. It also has hidden areas of great natural beauty. If we look only at the surface, we make pretty photographs that tell a surface story. However, if we bring some background knowledge and thought to interpret what we see, we may see things in a different light.

Hospitals aren't my favorite places. It just breaks my heart to see people struggling with illnesses. It can be such a frightening, uncertain time for both patients and their families. But good things happen in hospitals, too—real good things. Everyday, doctors and nurses help bring babies into this world, and that's nothing short of a miracle.
Some of those birthing rooms, however, aren't much of a fit for the miracles they hold. It's no fault of the hospitals; most don't have the extra resources it would take to make a room look like a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria. That said, a little comfort does go a long way. So when the Mary Telfair Women's Hospital at Saint Joseph's/Candler, a wonderful hospital right here in my hometown of Savannah, approached me about donating some of my home furnishings from the Paula Deen Home Collection to renovate one of their 24 private mother-baby rooms in the birth center, I jumped at the chance.
Whoever said you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear would eat their words after seeing how a few touches of home can transform a hospital room. The renovations began with money raised by the Telfair Directresses, a board of women dedicated to supporting the Women's Hospital. They took down the wallpaper and fixtures, repainted and put in a great big flat-screen TV. They also updated the flooring and the countertops. And then I added four pieces of furniture from my line, including a special sleeper for dads that Jamie is particularly fond of. (I think he's a good judge since both of his boys were born in this very hospital.)
The hospital gave me the honor of doing the ribbon cuttin' ceremony and they even dedicated the room in my name. I couldn't be more proud. Michael, Jamie, Aunt Peggy, my niece Corrie and my friend Hollis were all there as the CEO of the hospital, Mr. Hinchey, and the vice president of Patient Care Services, Ms. Danello, said the nicest things. And y'all, the finished product is just beautiful. The room is so cozy and warm that it's hard to imagine you're in a hospital where more than 3,000 babies are born every year. Instead, it feels like home—the perfect place to welcome a little baby, including Corrie's first born. That's right, my niece is scheduled to be in that very room this month and she couldn't be more excited. But what Corrie doesn't know is that I'm gonna sneak in there before she arrives to add a few more personal touches to the room.
So I guess you could say I caught the baby bug real bad during this process 'cause I'm hoping to donate even more furnishings to spruce up the other rooms. And while there's no place like home, the Paula Deen room at Mary Telfair would sure give a good Hostess City welcome to any baby.Read More From Blogs.
My daughter was born at that hospital in August 2007.I was there for 5 days.While I was in the hospital my mother,mother in law,brother,and sister in law went and ate at your restaurant while I was stuck at St.Joseph's lol!

Respectfully, Ms Meyn...apparently you are not from the South, or, at least the Savannah South.....Mothers', mine included, will always be a part of our lives; they will love, comfort, criticize, pat you on the back, help you in any way possible, beat your enemies up, kiss away the tears, and flaunt your accomplishments! Do not berate Ms Deen for doing this; it is her duty, obligation and priviledge as a Southern Mama! I would feel confident in saying that your mother has an influence over you, as any mother (no matter where you may live) should... please do not degrenate family love, culture or respect; both of these men love and cherish mother, appreciate her good points (know her bad points more than anyone) and choose to have her as a part of their lives. So, Ms Meyn, give Ms. Deen a break...Bobby is not taping his show in Brooklyn to get away from his Mom; it is simply more convient and more advantageous to do so, PLUS Brooklyn is a fun place to be!

Dear Miss Paula, My mother and I have followed your success over the years and appreciate your hard work. We also enjoyed how you have included your sons into your shows. First let me say that I am a mother of a son, so I understand how love generates toward them. Both of your sons have started venturing out on their own with their own shows, which I think is really great because who doesn't want to see their family succeed. Mom and I really appreciate Jamie's new show where he cooks with his wife and sons. We also enjoy Bobby's show "Not my Mothers Meals". Really good concept. I follow his show closely, and heard him say he has moved to Brooklyn, where his show takes place. My one question, why do you need to be part of HIS show. I understand your name is in his title, but do we really need to see you sampling his transformed recipies? Why don't you keep all your many shows, and leave them alone. Mom and I love the fact that you are nowhere to be found on Jamie's show, can you please extend the same courtesy to Bobby. Poor Bobby, his umbilical cord now stretches from Savanna to Brooklyn. Get out of their lives!! Oh, by the way, how to you get Bobby's meals so quickly, fresh and always tasting so good. When I bring home a pizza, the cheese is stuck all over the inside of the box. I don't believe your meals are so perfect, and always so tasteful. I really feel badly for Bobby because is genuine, and so personable. My final thought, please let them live their own lives without "Mamas" opinion. Sincerely, Debra Meyn

Being one of your biggest fans of your show and recipes, I am so pleased with your donation of this room. This was the very hospital that I was born in many years ago so it holds a special place in my heart!
By Pat Schernekau on January 05, 2013
This is such a wonderful thing you've done Paula! It is just one example of your sweet giving spirit. God bless you for all you've done for the mothers and dads.
By Kathryn Pless on January 04, 2013
I love the look of the rooms--new/expectant mothers deserve the best, and it was so sweet of you to donate from your furnishing line! You're so awesome, anyway. Debbie Roppolo debbieroppolo.weebly.com

How wonderful! The city hospital where I had my youngest had shared rooms and nothing for my husband to sleep on. When we arrived they said they "might" have a cot, but only had a very limited number. Not nearly enough for every room. He had to sleep sitting in a rocking chair. So awesome that this room has proper sleeping accommodations for dads and it's beautiful to boot!

I work as an RN in The Birth Center of a mid-size Texas city hospital that has 2,500 births a year. Budgets are very tight and this is such a wonderful thing to do. God bless you, Paula Deen! While birth is a wonderful miracle that still awes me after 35 years it can be very stressful and exhausting. What a gift to provide such a comfortable warm space for the mother and her loved ones!

I've begun to go gray at my temples and in anticipation of being all over gray I'd like to ask how you get your gray so beautiful? Silver like all over? Care to share?

Geeks like me look forward to the darndest things. Example: training camp rosters. We didn't get the Oilers TC roster this season, but the Barons version is ultra cool.
There are some outstanding names on this list, names who are unlikely to play in the minors for the rest of their careers (or at least 15 years). Men like the Nuge, Jordan Eberle, Justin Schultz.
After that. there's a long list of "NHL prospects" we'll follow closely this season. My list is:
- Martin Marincin
- Brandon Davidson
- Alex Plante
- Ryan Martindale
- Tyler Pitlick
- Teemu Hartikainen
- Antti Tyrvainen
- Curtis Hamilton
- Phil Cornet
- Anton Lander
- Magnus Paajarvi
- Tanner Hous
- Kristians Pelss
- Toni Rajala
- Mark Arcobello
- Taylor Fedun
- Chris VandeVelde
- Colten Teubert
- Cameron Abney
- Tyler Bunz
- Olivier Roy
That's an impressive list, you know. Even aside from the gifted trio there's some good names there. I'd rank the top player on this list as Paajarvi and the low end at Tanner House but your mileage may vary.
If you're a real geek like me then one of the best things about a training camp roster is the players you've never heard of; chances are they won't make the team, but it is interesting to look at these players and see what the organization might be casting about looking for in terms of talent.
- C Eric Hunter: He was drafted twice (2004, 2006) and went to the U of A after his WHL career ended. Hunter played last season in the AHL (75, 6-10-16) and had a couple of big scoring seasons in the WHL for Prince George. He is 26.
- R Justin Maylan: Skilled forward just out of the WHL and signed to a contract by Stockton (ECHL). He'll no doubt be sent down early but is young (21) and you never know. Scored 89 points with the PA Raiders last season.
- F Gary Steffes: Big forward out of the NCAA (Miami of Ohio), he's spent the last two seasons with Tulsa of the CHL. This interview is a perfect "hockey" interview in that it is cliche heaven. Ryan Smyth would love that interview.
- D Trevor Ludwig: This is an interesting player. Son of former NHLer Craig Ludwig, he's a big stay at home type and a lefty shooter. He has about 2 seasons of AHL experience and would be a player to watch based on OKC's roster makeup.
- G Ian Keserich: 26 year old, another college man and he has pro experience in the CHL and ECHL. Oilers usually carry 5 goalies–two in the NHL, two in the AHL and one in the ECHL. Keserich may tandem with Bunz in Stockton this seasn.
TC begins this weekend and there should be plenty of stories flying north.

70MB of additional RAM unlocked for PS3 developers
It's rare for a console to get a spec upgrade in the middle of its life. However, Sony has stealthily upgraded the PS3 over the past few months to unlock additional usable RAM for developers. Much like the PSP received a boost in clock speed, the latest firmware updates provide developers an additional 70MB of RAM to work with. The change was initially discovered by PlayStation University, noting the reduction in the system OS's memory footprint, from 120MB to 50MB. As the OS continues to slim down, developers are allowed access to even more usable system memory.
SCEA's Patrick Seybold recently confirmed the change to Joystiq. "Since the launch of the PS3, we have been continuously making efforts to reinforce our support system to game developers, allowing them to express their creativity freely on the PS3. As part of this support for game development, the size of the PS3 OS memory footprint has been reduced through network update for the game developers."
While 70MB of additional memory is not insignificant, don't expect drastic changes to future PS3 games. A PS3 developer told us that "any bit of RAM helps. Generally it probably won't change design, but might allow extra effects resolution or dynamic lights or something. Probably more beneficial from the systems and art side then from design/gameplay." In tandem with increasingly efficient code, the added RAM will undoubtedly make for even better looking games. Certainly, that's not something we'd complain about.
70MB of additional RAM unlocked for PS3 developers originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- With a chart and a new Twitter hashtag, House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday made the case that spending was the problem that is preventing a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, the series of tax hikes and spending cuts that are due to be triggered next year without legislative action. Boehner said the White House's desire for new spending nearly outstrips the spending reductions they have proposed. While saying he was against increased tax rates, he didn't gave an indication that higher taxes was the roadblock to reaching a pact.

Ancestor Searching Newsletter, Volume 4, # 2
When Roots Television debuted on September 29, 2006, it was a low-key launch in beta mode intended to draw enough traffic to test the site and work through the technical bugs that are a part of experiencing new online ventures on the Internet. However, the low-key launch has quickly become a tremendous success as the word has spread about Roots Television which drew viewers from five continents in the first 24 hours! Not surprising really, since family history commands one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the world.
Roots Television has a huge variety of content to choose from. They've filmed many very interesting conference lectures, but their strengths are the pieces on real people and their 'lighter side' videos. There are four channels which includes a British Channel, a Hispanic Channel, a Societies Channel, and a Libraries & Archives Channel. This is still an evolving method of presenting genealogy topics on the web, but the Roots Television library of offerings continues to grow and it's entertaining as well as informative.
Roots Television is a great site that is excellent for genealogists. Many of the programs available for viewing are taken from genealogy seminars. Here's what they have to say about their endeavor, "Perhaps what is surprising is that no one thought of launching a family history channel sooner. After all, there's a golf channel, a wine channel, a sailing channel, a horse channel, and poker channel, and even a shipwreck channel. Why not a channel for what's said to be the second most popular hobby? Some of the topics they presently have are DNA, Homeland, How To, Legacy, Civil War and much more. Future plans call for "special" programs that will require a fee to view, but for now, everything is FREE!
Today, roots fever is hotter than ever, with over 113 million Americans interested in their family history, and roots-sleuthing running at near-epidemic proportions in other countries, such as the U.K. Yet this audience has been largely neglected by television. Roots Television is uniquely positioned to be one of the first media outlets to take advantage of the inevitable merge between television and the Internet – and in so doing, serve this global and long-ignored audience."
According to Family Tree Magazine, Roots Television is "TV That Won't Rot Your Brain." Their review noted, "We give it two thumbs up, but the addiction potential is high, so get hooked at your own risk."
Headquartered in Utah, Roots Television, LLC is an independent media company that is the brainchild of national media producer Marcy Brown and professional genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak (yes, her real name).
Largely a virtual operation with partners scattered around the globe, Roots Television takes a broad view of family history and is committed to providing programming – both original and from talented producers and independent filmmakers around the world – that appeals to avid genealogists and family history lovers of all types.
Whether you're an archives hound, scrap booker, cousin collector, roots-travel enthusiast, Civil War re-enactor, DNA fan, reunion instigator, sepia-toned photos zealot, Internet-junkie, history buff, old country traditions follower, cemetery devotee, story-teller, multicultural food aficionado, flea market and antiques fanatic, family documentarian, nostalgia nut, or mystery-solver, Roots Television has something for you — and that "something" is quality programming. They have an online shop to buy books, DVD or videos, and Roots gear (including t-shirts). They sell the set of Roots, Civil War and Ancestors in their shop.
Future plans will unite the computer with television to watch these programs. The best part is it's available from home! (NOTE: One caveat – the videos won't work in dial-up mode only DSL or cable).
Genealogy Workshop
Fact: Roots Television also has a blog site which contains online columns. Also, something unique labeled Vlogs. While a Blog is like an online journal, a vlog is similar but in video form. For example, one is called "Your Ancestors Are Watching You."
Tip: Interested in being on Rootstelevision? Become part of the Roots Television revolution! For those passionate about any aspect of genealogy, heritage or history -- from cemeteries to the Civil War to DNA -- they want to hear from you! It's possible to submit videos to RootsTube. Just follow the simple instructions or upload a sample to Google Video or YouTube and email them with the link.

The following announcement was written by FamilySearch:
"Two million new records were added to the FamilySearch Records Search pilot. The completed statewide deaths index for Alabama was published—over 1.8 million names. This collection covers deaths from 1908 to 1974."

Video Teaches Correct Citations of Online Sources
Mark Tucker has created a YouTube video that describes the process of source citations. The seven-and-a-half minute video consists of two sections. The first section discusses some of the current issues with citing sources especially when it comes to online sources. The second section demonstrates an approach to quickly and accurately cite online sources. As Mark states in the video, "The technology needed to accomplish this exists today."
The video stresses the use of standardized citations as specified by Elizabeth Shown Mills' excellent book, Evidence Explained. The video focuses on the correct citations of online sources.
Mark's video clearly shows step-by-step instructions illustrating how to create proper citations in one of today's leading genealogy programs. Similar techniques can be used with any modern genealogy program.
This video is a great tutorial and I would suggest that all genealogists should view it to make sure they are entering proper source citations of online references."

An experience not to be missed
Finding good value for your vacation is not always about the money. Sure there is great financial value at Il Rifugio (particularly if you visit with a group of friends), but it goes much further than that. If you are anything like me, vacation time is unfortunately a precious but limited resource. Yes I have ambition to tour all the exotic places, but at the end of the day I also want to decompress (i.e. flake out) away from the stresses of life. Il Rifugio allows you do do both of those things. Tucked into a serene Tuscan hill, guests are treated to spectacular countryside views, a sky full of stars and a world of heavenly uninterupted silence. Cars and other forms of civilization are just an occasional speck on a far-away road below. Il Rifugio itself is a beautiful marriage of old world history with new world conveniences. The big fireplaces look very inviting for a cool evening, but my advice would be to visit when the weather is warm. Cocktails or meals on one of the patios is just something you can't afford to miss. Probably the best part of our trip. Don't be afraid of the summer heat either. The humidity is low, the hillside breezes are plentiful and a very nice swimming pool helps to refresh and relax. Owners Chuck and Shirley go out of there way to ensure that you have everything you need at Il Rifugio and also provide a helping hand to start your adventures. Nearby Cortona typifies the Tuscan hill-town experience with fashionable shops, cafes and tucked away restaurants. Enjoy a multi-course Tuscan gourmet feast, cappaccino on a patio or gelato as you wander the narrow lanes. Your call. For those who enjoy the occasional vino (or more than occasional as the case may be), you have to book the local winery tour, which Chuck can arrange for you. Not only do you get to learn a lot about Italian wine and taste some premium bottles you also get to meet and sample with the families who run these local operations - from working the land to labeling the bottles. Even if you don't drink wine, its an adventure you have to take. You definitely need rental cars to get around and a train station is not too far away for trips to Florence or other places. As you plan your trip from home don't get overly ambitious on the day trips. Once there you might find you don't necessarily want to move every minute of the day. Go with close friends, go with family. But above all else, just make sure you go.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Tommy Hanson did some running in the outfield and played catch for about five minutes Sunday, the first time the Braves pitcher suited up and got on the field since suffering a Grade 1 concussion in a one-car accident Monday.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Hanson will probably take the ImPact concussion test Monday or Tuesday, which would be his second time taking the test since the accident. If his reflexes are back to normal, he could be cleared for full workout Tuesday.
Hanson would probably not pitch off the mound for the first time until Thursday.
"It's like holding a thoroughbred back, he's ready to get going," Gonzalez said. "Which is a good sign."
Hanson has missed a week of workouts, but the big right-hander said this weekend he believes he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.
"It'll only be a week off," he said. "I was throwing 50-pitch bullpens before I came down here [to spring training], so I don't' think a week off is going to set me back too much.
"After I start throwing for a couple of days, I think I'll be back where I would have been last week. Most of the time at the end of spring training, that last week is kind of extra anyway. So I don't think it'll be a problem. I feel like I'll be ready."
Hanson wrecked his Infiniti M45 on the way to Braves spring-training headquarters Monday before the first pitchers-and-catchers workout. He had no other significant injuries, only bruises. He said he had a tire blow out while rounding a curve, which sent his car careening down a small embankment into a field.
He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 concussion and did no physical activities until Friday, when he rode a stationary bike for 15 minutes and did shoulder exercises and stretching.
When he took the ImPact concussion test on Thursday, the first day he was headache-free since the concussion, his results weren't back to normal yet when compared to the baseline exam he took three years ago.
"It's kind of weird that I didn't feel like my reaction times were off, but they were off," Hanson said. "So it's a little scary, hearing about other guys who've had concussions, especially in other sports … I didn't realize concussions were as serious as they are until I got one. But I feel back to normal now, so I don't think it's going to be a problem."
Hanson said it's the first time he's been diagnosed with a concussion, although he thinks he probably had one while snowboarding when he was 12.

Ok, that statement of location is about the only thing that is on topic here. I do remember being in a couple of bathrooms back in the 70's, where a wall phone hung next to the john.
From reading GardenSprite's concern about cell phone privacy security, just curious how many out there have done away with their home lines and just use cell phones, exclusively?
My kids did this years ago, and we did so about 3 years back. We do have DSL and do all of our banking and bill paying on line. But our two cell phones are our link to the world. Well, that and email.
Because of wireless being so common, there doesn't seem to be a need for those phone jacks in every room either, even if you do have a home phone line. Do they even wire those extra jacks in new homes now?
We had a phone outside the bathroom in the house where I grew up, and my father still does, which I think is good in the event he needs to call for help. He might take his cell phone into the bathroom, but it's a lot easier and quicker for him to just pick up a land line phone and dial 911 rather than wait for the cell phone to turn on (we don't keep ours on unless we're traveling or doing something that might require instant communication).
Even then, the buttons aren't as easy to use for an older person with a partial right hand as are the buttons on a land line phone.
I'm still working on getting him to install a land line phone in his shed though.
I know a lot of people do banking and bill paying online and feel comfortable doing it. Having gone through the ordeal of dealing with ID fraud on even a limited basis, it isn't something I ever want to face again. It's a very invasive and threatening feeling, like coming home and discovering your house has been burglarized. And as a result of these incidents, I still place fraud alerts on our credit files every 90 days.
I think a lot of folks believe, or want to believe, that these kinds of things won't happen to them.
Of course, I'm still one of those who wants multiple phone jacks, especially in the bedroom. I've had many a middle of the night emergency call and it's a lot easier to be awakened from a deep sleep and just pick up a phone as opposed to even punching one button to answer a cell phone call.
And on a different level, leaving the cell phone on all night for safety purposes may only require nominal battery use, leading to recharging more often, leading to the use of more electricity, but it requires eventual use of electricity.
For seniors these are not just financial but also carbon footprint issues. I'd prefer to use electricity for something more than backup phone service. (I figure the money I save not charging a cell phone can better be used listening to the Sat. at the Met. opera series.)
There are a lot of generational issues here, I'm sure. I also think that dedicated cell phone users accept the fraud and security risks as part of the convenience of cell phone use, whereas we older folks don't want to accept that risk anymore than it already exists otherwise.
I know a few others on SS and/or pension who also have made similar decisions.
We do keep our two cell phones on 24/7, and in the bedroom (on a charger) at night. Minimal energy use, but I do understand wanting the land line in many situations. DM needed one for Life Alert, when she had it.
We are required to have a land line number for the DSL. That is also the only number published in the local directory, used to have an answering machine on it, but all we ever got was polit. advertising and orgs wanting money. We can get incoming calls free but outgoing at the ridiculous price of 10 cents a minute, unless it is 911.
Needless to say we have nothing plugged into our home wall jacks.
I still have a landline, digital phone through my CATV company. I have it mainly because I work from home and do conference calls all the time. Cellphone quality isn't the same as a landline. I can tell on a conference call when someone has a magic-jack or other VOIP phone service, when their laptop starts polling for email they get garbled. It can be fixed by configuring the router to make voice higher priority traffic than data but most people don't do it.
With respect to jacks, we don't have one in the bathroom, all bedrooms do. With the new cordless phones no need to put jacks in every room. Some cordless phones work off of one base with multiple phones. Each phone has a charging base but there is only one base station. If you're going to keep a traditional landline you should have one plain old telephone set that is line powered to use in case of a power failure. Cordless need AC power for the base station to work. A decent cordless should reach your fathers shed.
A nice feature on a cordless phone is a headphone jack. I can pop a headphone into a cordless phone and wander all over my house while on a call. Remember back in the day with a phone in the kitchen with a 4 foot cord to the handset? Oh and it was a rotary phone as well.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Great point (Sparky) on the multiple phone cordless models, for GardenSprite's father. The individual handsets only need a base for occasional charging. We used to have one with 4 handsets and one base station with our land line. I used to carry one with a belt clip when I was around the house and in the yard.
(And had an emergency modular plug in phone, if the power went out)
My cell number doubles as my business line, plus it used to be the Life Line contact for DM and F-inlaw. It was very important to have it with me all the time. Still do, with a belt or pocket clip. We have no internet on our cellphones, so they are just "dumb phones", I guess.
Remember when those portable "car phones" first came in use back in the 80's?
That is the plan we have as well. May or may not be Verizon as they all sound the same.
I do basic communication wiring as well. And believe you me running say cat5e for phone and internet access has dropped off the planet. Makes many a drywall hanger happy, one less box to cut out in each room.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...

ATHENS -- There's been another instance of a passenger being lured into a fake taxicab in Athens, and police said the bogus cabbie may be using the same sign as a man they arrested last month.
Police said 41-year-old Tracy Faust mounted a taxi sign on the roof of a Cadillac on Oct. 16 to pick up a University of Georgia student downtown, then drove him to East Athens and robbed him. Athens-Clarke County police Capt. Clarence Holeman said Faust was arrested and remains in jail, charged with armed robbery. The Athens Banner-Herald reported that Holeman said someone used the same trick early Saturday.
Police say an Alpharetta man climbed into a Cadillac he thought was a taxi and wound up being robbed. They say the taxi sign may be the same one used last month.

What does sustainability mean to you?
To me, sustainability implies continuity. It means that a system isn't linear; there is no end and beginning and no waste. For humans, moving towards a more sustainable way of life will require a more ecological frame of mind; we are part of nature instead of masters of it. Sustainability means looking at the long term big picture, instead of searching for cheap solutions with immediate payoffs and making lot of sacrifices.
What are you doing to help UB become more sustainable?
I volunteer at the Office of Sustainability. I help with projects like Recylemania and the Sustainable Film Series. I also help promote events hosted by the office. I think promoting sustainable events and efforts on campus is really important and I love being a part of it. I think getting more students involved and aware about what we are doing and why is the best way to make a difference on campus.
How do you involve UB's faculty or staff in your sustainability work?
I work with Erin Moscati and Jim Simon at the Office of Sustainability. They are great examples of hard-working individuals who care about moving toward sustainability and I'm learning a lot working with them. In addition, as an Environmental Geosciences major, most of my professors are very involved in conservation efforts. I've been working on Honors contracts with Dr. Kenneth Shockley and Dr. Jessica Poulin.
How has sustainability impacted your academic pursuits?
I'm an Environmental Geosciences major and my specialization track within the major is Ecology and the Environment. I've chosen to study this because, in the future, I'd like to work on doing research, consulting, or policy changing regarding sustainable alternatives.
What is the one thing you would like people to know that you do in your personal life to further sustainability?
It's so hard to pick one important thing because it's not about making a few dramatic sacrifices; it's making a lot of small changes in your day-to-day life. My best example would be I try to be aware of how much I waste and what I really need. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. That mantra might be redundant but make my choices about what I eat, what I buy, and what I throw out with that in mind.
How could UB improve its sustainability efforts?
UB already does a lot of great sustainability work but I think we could improve by implementing more widespread instruction about sustainable living. Maybe a course regarding sustainability could be required of all students, similar to library skills and alcohol.edu.

One of the fun games fans can play at home (and I hope GMs play in their offices) is "can we win a championship with X player in Y role?" For the Oilers, more and more of the answers are "yes" and the window of opportunity is coming into view.
No matter what happens down the stretch, this season represents a major step forward for the Oilers. There are problems:
- Steve Tambellini was slow to react in replacing Shawn Horcoff (and Eric Belanger) when injuries impacted center.
- Steve Tambellini didn't deliver enough help at the deadline.
- Steve Tambellini kept several possible "mistake signings" for the summer–should he re-sign Khabibulin, Whitney or Jones that would be a huge error for this burgeoning team.
Before we ask the "can we win" question, let's have a look-see at what Ralph Krueger is trying to do:
From what I can see, Krueger is less concerned with matchup and more concerned with getting his really skilled players as many zone starts (offensive opportunities) as he can. That's fine, except the club's 3rd and 4th lines are not perfectly set up for their task in this scenario. I'd rate Smyth and Horcoff as capable, and certainly Hemsky if the Oilers choose to put him there. After that, we get Eric Belanger, Lennart Petrell and the rest (Eager, Hordichuk, etc–Mike Brown's Toronto numbers are reflected here so of no help to the discussion). With that as the backdrop–and understanding matchups are less important to the coach–we get this:
The results are as expected–top line ripping it up, 4th line looks like a dog. I'd say the two items deserving of notice are Gagner/Hemsky (they should be in the black) and Yakupov (God love this kid he's damn near at do).
So, when we ask the question "can the Oilers win a championship with X player in Y role" I get the following:
- Taylor Hall as 1line L: Yes. God yes.
- Magnus Paajarvi as 2line L: Jury's out, but he could fill a lesser role offensively and cover the bet defensively.
- Ryan Smyth as 3line L: No. I don't think Smyth will be here when they go deep, although his numbers above are respectable.
- Lennart Petrell: NO. No. I love Finns, it pains me to keep writing this.
- Teemu Hartikainen as a top 9 option: I don't know. Jury's out–I do think he deserves a one season look, 500 at bats.
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as 1line C: Yes, but not yet. He needs to mature. Outstanding talent.
- Sam Gagner as 2line C: Yes. I don't think he's going to be the 2-way C his Dad was, but certainly enough skill to deliver on 2line.
- Shawn Horcoff as 3line C: Maybe. The problem is he's going to erode for a couple more years before everything's headed in the right direction.
- Eric Belanger: No.
- Anton Lander as 3 or 4line C: I don't think so, we'll have to see. No matter how good his checking, you have to hit about the Mendoza line. If he can perform at replacement level–say Rem Murray in his first stint as a Oiler–then he'll have a career.
- Ales Hemsky as 1line R: Yes. I have zero idea about what the fracture is between 83 and 89, but am confident both can play at a high level.
- Jordan Eberle as 2line R: Yes. He's not perfect, but he is skilled. The burden of the contract may impact him.
- Nail Yakupov as 1line R: Yes, eventually. I don't think it'll be long, either. He's impossible to take your eyes off of–even just skating around (as he does sometimes).
- Mike Brown as 4line R: These player types don't really play in the big games, remember BG being so upset? Brown seems to be a good player for his role.
We'll discuss defensemen tomorrow.
Oilers have a 24.6% chance of making the post-season, I'm still onside with their chances of making the second season. They need to win one on the left coast, then come home and go on a run. And it would be nice if Denver could play a full GD game once in a damn while too.
I'm off the charts with the kids this season. Man. You could go a long while without seeing all of the things we're seeing right now. This must be what seeing the crops sprout is like for farmers, just electric growth–maybe hydroponics?
Did I ever tell you about the time I visited my Grandpa in Maidstone, Saskatchewan and found out he had all the hyrdoponics and was growing…..tomatoes? This was maybe 1982, I drove down in the summer during my holidays and he was so excited. I'm like, you know, there are some "cash" crops you can grow Grandpa but that wasn't his (or my) thing.
Anyway, I don't know how much coaching there is to do during Taylor Hall's eruption, but do think the club has done a nice job with Paajarvi this season and they seem to be giving Yakupov a little more leeway now. That goal he scored the other night was a memorable one–did you see Calgary goalie MacDonald's incredulous reaction?–but there's some coaching to do there.
Which leads me to two questions:
- I know Nail was in the OHL for two years, but is there a 'coaching gap' between Windsor and Sarnia? Or are these lessons learned in Russia that the Yak needs to iron out on the smaller ice?
- If you're Magnus Paajarvi, would it have been better to come over after the draft? Are these struggles a result of the smaller ice?
- If concussions are an issue, and more ice reduces concussions, should the NHL consider the bigger ice?
Warren Zevon. What a man. Smoked half of Peru and still had time to chronicle a generation.

As a kid I'd sit between the stacks at the public library, my books in uneven piles around me on the shit-orange carpet, the walls and staggered turrets of my castle. Breathing in the warm musk of aged paper, I'd sometimes feel suddenly, profoundly, sad, but also deeply humbled, because there were more good books left on the shelves, I suspected, than I could read in a lifetime. The volumes in a library were my first measure of the finiteness of life. Every time I add a book to my reading list, I revisit that feeling, and every day I go without reading feels like a betrayal.
Resist the easy comforts of complacency, the specious glitter of materialism, the narcotic paralysis of self-satisfaction. Be worthy of your advantages. And read… read all the time… read as a matter of principle, as a matter of self-respect. Read as a nourishing staple of life. Develop and protect a moral sensibility and demonstrate the character to apply it. Dream big. Work hard. Think for yourself. Love everything you love, everyone you love, with all your might. And do so, please, with a sense of urgency, for every tick of the clock subtracts from fewer and fewer; and as surely as there are commencements there are cessations, and you'll be in no condition to enjoy the ceremony attendant to that eventuality no matter how delightful the afternoon.

Oilers at Hawks, G12 '10-'11
It is extremely rare for an Edmonton Oiler rookie to break into the NHL's top 10 in rookie scoring.
Since 1997 there have been only three players do turn the trick: Ales Hemsky tied for 7th, 2002-03; Sam Gagner finished 5th in 2007-08 and Andrew Cogliano was 6th in rookie scoring same year.
It's early and you never want to project rookies too far out, but there's a chance the Oilers will have three of the really good rookie scorers in the NHL this year. You know the names, but it's interesting to note that Eberle (tied for 2nd) and Hall and Pääjärvi (tied for 6th) are getting a real push from the organization in terms of opportunity.
Here are the icetime leaders (forwards) so far this season among NHL rookies at even-strength (TOI per game):
- Taylor Hall 13:57
- Jordan Eberle 13:48
- Magnus Pääjärvi 13:44
- Jeff Skinner 13:29
- Michael Grabner 13:02
Skinner leads in rookie scoring and would appear to be the chief competition for the Oiler trio (along with Tyler Ennis. That guy is wicked). Of course, the Capitals have a goalie who is threatening to run away with the Calder race so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here are the PP leaders among rookies (TOI per game):
- Jeff Skinner 3:13
- Andre Loktionov 3:04
- Jordan Eberle 2:49
- Logan Couture 2:30
- Tyler Ennis 2:26
Pääjärvi ranks 17th in this category. He's tied for 3rd in EV scoring (5 points) and Eberle is tied for 1st in SH points (2, both goals). Some other notes:
- Hall leads the league's rookies in missed shots (he's got a dynamite release and should have a bigger impact when he finds the range) with 19.
- Hall also leads rookie forwards in giveaways, with both Pääjärvi and Eberle close behind him.
- Eberle is second in takeaways.
- Pääjärvi is 6th in the NHL (among rookies) in shots with 29. The other two kids trail by 5.
- Their shooting percentages are interesting: Eberle (16.7); Hall (12.5); Pääjärvi (6.9)
I don't have much to say about the game. Edmonton seems to play a more organized style when on the road, and Chicago is still in their Stanley haze. The defense is becoming a larger story (in a bad way) as the season rolls along, and I understand the Coen brothers are working up a script based on the penalty-kill. There is reportedly a title, but Intolerable Cruelty has already been taken and it sure as hell isn't True Grit, so we'll have to wait for news. I suggest Dummkopf.

Boeing shares slip as FAA review of 787 begins
The long-awaited Dreamliner has experienced a series of operational problems, prompting a government investigation.
Shares of Boeing (BA) were falling Friday as the Federal Aviation Administration prepared to review the design, manufacture and assembly of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, FAA administrator Michael Huerta and Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner announced the review at 9:30 a.m. EST Friday, as the markets opened.
Shares fell more than 2.5% by midday to $75.11; they opened the year at $76.55. They remain at the high end of the 52-week trading range between $66.82 and $78.02.
In a prepared statement released at 9:40 a.m. Boeing said it retains confidence in the aircraft, noting: "It is a safe and efficient airplane that brings tremendous value to our customers and an improved flying experience to their passengers.
"The airplane has logged 50,000 hours of flight and there are more than 150 flights occurring daily," the company said. "Its in-service performance is on par with the industry's best-ever introduction into service -- the Boeing 777. Like the 777, at 15 months of service, we are seeing the 787's fleet wide dispatch reliability well above 90%.
"More than a year ago, the 787 completed the most robust and rigorous certification process in the history of the FAA. We remain fully confident in the airplane's design and production system."
Nevertheless, Boeing said that "we have experienced in-service issues in recent months and we are never satisfied while there is room for improvement," and it welcomes the FAA review.
The long-awaited 787 has faced a string of problems this year. On Monday, while a Japan Airlines 787 was on the ground at Boston Logan Airport, the lithium ion battery used by the auxiliary power unit began to smoke and then caught fire. On Tuesday, a JAL 787 leaked fuel on the taxiway. An ANA flight was cancelled on Wednesday due to a brake-control issue.
Since the aircraft began commercial flights last year, a number of electrical incidents have been reported; one promoted an emergency landing by a United (UAL) 787 last month. Also, "United has reportedly found a wiring problem that affects the same electrical system that was problematic for JAL," wrote RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Stallard on Wednesday.
"Boeing's 787 has been hit by a series of negative news stories over the last couple of days, with the predictable press histrionics," Stallard wrote. "We are cautious of taking an exaggerated response to any of the developments so far, but we think it fair to say that these have exacerbated Boeing's unfortunate reputation as a trouble magnet."
"What these events probably do highlight is Boeing's less than stellar performance on the 787 program, and unfortunately reinforce the generally lackluster investor sentiment that appears to be holding back the stock," he said. "We could see a short-term rebound from this latest 787 sell off as these issues blow over, but the broader malaise has not been addressed."

In November 2009, Eric B. Broderick, D.D.S., M.P.H., SAMHSA Deputy Administrator was honored with a Pendleton blanket from the Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council at a big check event in Billings, MT (see photo).
The Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council was awarded two grants for suicide prevention and substance abuse prevention.
The State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention grants help grantees build on the foundation of prior suicide prevention efforts. Funds support states and tribes in developing and implementing statewide or tribal youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategies, grounded in public and private collaboration.
Such efforts must involve public or private collaboration among youth-serving institutions and agencies, such as schools, educational institutions, juvenile justice systems, foster care systems, substance abuse and mental health programs, and other child and youth supporting organizations.
State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grants are authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act. For more information, see the 2009 Request for Applications. See a full list of 2009 grantees.

Tracy King, president of the Fort Belknap nation (left) and Charlie Morigeau (right), a member of the Salish-Kootenai Tribal Council, presented Dr. Broderick with a blanket on behalf of the coalition, which received more than $6.3 million in SAMHSA grants this year.
