Richland County's Elections and Voter Registration Office director says an employee of hers misread a document that was meant to determine the number of machines and personal electronic ballots (PEB) that were scheduled for deployment to each polling place.
Lillian McBride, who is paid $86,394 annually, admitted to a group of county lawmakers during a three and a half hour hearing on Monday afternoon that there weren't enough voting machines at a majority of Richland County precincts on November 6.
She said PEB numbers that she had written on a spreadsheet listing of machines to be sent to each polling place were interpreted by an unnamed employee as the actual number of machines to be deployed.
PEB's are small electronic devices used by poll workers to turn voting machines on and enable voting. The number of PEBs at each precinct is normally a fraction of the number of physical machines.
"From what I could gather," said McBride who spent several minutes reading from a prepared statement, "that's what I believe happened."
McBride said in the weeks leading up to the election, she had adjusted the number of PEBs to send additional units to several larger polling places by writing with red ink on the spreadsheet. The staff member who read that document thought McBride was noting how many machines should be allocated to each precinct.
According to a document shared with the delegation by the elections commission, the number of machines sent to each polling place matched the number mcBride had written in red ink 84 times. However, 40 of the precincts received neither the number of machines prescribed by law or the number written by McBride.
"It was a mistake and it had a drastic consequence," said McBride. "A mistake was made within my office. For that I am humbly sorry. I express my heartfelt apology. If I could take it back, I would."
Thousands of voters were not able to outlast the reported six hour waits in several of the county's 124 precincts. Others stayed, but left frustrated without exercising their right to vote.
Some lawmakers have even suggested that the Richland County debacle has opened the door for opening up talks in the legislature for early voting laws in South Carolina.
According to the South Carolina Elections Commission, Richland County has 970 machines. 935 of them were working on Election Day. Only 628 were deployed to polling places. In comparison, 813 were used in 2010.
McBride said the 2012 numbers were "close to accurate," but still wasn't sure exactly how many machines were actually used.
According to state law, the number of machines in each polling place should equal one for every 250 registered voters.
McBride said she and her staff plan to get together to talk about what happened. Without offering any specific solutions, she said she wants to make sure communication between herself and her staff members is clear and concise. "Check, recheck and approve before anything goes out," said McBride.
McBride says the commission is continuing its investigation into machine discrepancies as well as battery failures and paper ballots being misplaced.
The commission's attorney Steve Hamm is promising straight forward actionable report to delegation.
The date for completion of that investigation isn't clear.
Meanwhile, WIS has asked a host of questions to the elections commission including how many voting machines were deployed to each precinct, how many of those were working, when the machines were tested and what the results of those tests were.
We have yet to receive any answers, but have been informed by the Richland County Ombudsman's Office that we should have documentation to provide those answers during the week of December 3.
We have done some research of our own, though. Numbers provided to us by the South Carolina Election Commission show an apparent violation of law for a large percentage of precincts because of low machine count. Click here to see our interactive map of Richland County precincts.

Vienna Period (1907–1912)
"Colored House"
Hitler's obsession with art started at a young age and heightened the tension between him and his father Alois, who wanted young Adolf to pursue what must have seemed like a more practical career at the customs office. A few years after Alois's sudden death in 1903, Adolf Hitler moved to Vienna to begin his life as an impoverished artist. Forced to sleep rough, and sometimes in a homeless shelter, Hitler earned a living selling copied postcard scenes to tourists.

This sounds like a great book and I hope to read it. I have a Katrina dog who now does pet therapy. I wrote a children's book about his (and his sister's) plight and when we do our appearances, I always make an effort to talk about pet emergency preparedness and stress its' importance. I couldn't imagine ever having to evacuate without my pets. In Katrina's aftermath, the government passed the PETS Act (Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act) mandating that local and state emergency management plans "include preparation for evacuating family pets and service animals along with their owners." This federal law also "allows FEMA to provide funding to create pet-friendly shelters and assist with the development of localized emergency manage plans." Have a plan and know where to go.
(as an aside, all the profits from the sale of Brandy and Val's Special Story are donated to the shelter our pups were adopted from)

I'd love to hear more about your book.
Unfortunately the PETS Act came without adequate funding. But organizations like Muttshack (www.Muttshack.org) have gone a long way to fill the gaps. Muttshack made a huge difference when Hurricane Gustav came to NOLA. We had to evacuate early after the Animal Memorial Service in NOLA at the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2008.

MEASAT Satellite Systems
MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd, formerly Binariang Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd is a Malaysian communications satellite operator, which owns and operates the MEASAT (Malaysia East Asia Satellite) spacecraft.
As of 2006, the MEASAT satellite network consists of three geostationary satellites designed and built by Boeing Satellite Systems. MEASAT-1 and MEASAT-2 (AFRICASAT-2) were launched in 1996 and MEASAT-3 in 2006.
The MEASAT-1 and 2 satellites were designed to provide 12 years of both direct-to-user television service in Malaysia and general communications services in the region from Malaysia to the Philippines and from Beijing to Indonesia. With the launch of MEASAT-3, the coverage extends even further to an area encompassing 70% of the world's population.
In 1993, Malaysia's Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, called for the end of the Malaysian government's monopoly on communications services. He believed that the creation of privately owned companies could better serve Malaysia's communications needs in the decades ahead. One result of Mahathir's 1993 "Malaysia Plan" was the creation of the Binariang Sdn. Bhd. company by Malaysian tycoon Ananda Krishnan, which was given the charter to develop Malaysia's first satellite communications system. In 1994, Binariang signed a contract with Hughes Space and Communications Company (now Boeing Satellite Systems) for two Model 376 satellites. The project was named the "Malaysia East Asia Satellite" program, or "MEASAT" for short. The satellites opened the door to reliable telephone and data transmission services to all of Malaysia, helping to strengthen the unity between the peninsula and the island portions of the nation. The satellites also contributed greatly to the rapid growth of computer networking in Malaysia, as well as the creation of a new direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television service, called "Astro".
MEASAT-1 and MEASAT-2 (AFRICASAT-2)[edit]
As advanced Model 376 spacecraft, the MEASAT-1 and -2 satellites have three enhancements over the standard model. They were the first in the 376 series to be fitted with gallium arsenide solar cells, which deliver 40 percent more payload power as compared to their silicon predecessors. They were also the first Model 376s to use lightweight, high-gain shaped antenna. The satellites also used a more efficient bipropellant system for stationkeeping and attitude control maneuvers. Both MEASAT-1 & 2 satellites were launched on Ariane rockets from Centre Spatial Guyanais at Kourou in French Guiana. MEASAT-1 was launched in January 1996, and MEASAT-2 was launched in November 1996. MEASAT-1 was located in a geostationary orbit at 91.5 degrees East, and MEASAT-2 was located in a geostationary orbit at 148 degrees East. The contract with Hughes also called for the installation and testing of equipment for a satellite control station on Langkawi Island, and training of Malaysian spacecraft controllers.
MEASAT 1 had five high-power transponders in Ku band for the direct-to-user service, powered by 112-watt traveling-wave tube amplifiers. The regional service to Malaysia was provided on 12 transponders in C band, using 12-watt solid state amplifiers. MEASAT-2 had 11 active transponders in Ku band. Eight of these use 95-watt traveling-wave amplifiers, and three have 62 watts. MEASAT-2 also had six active transponders in C band, powered by 12-watt solid-state amplifiers.
In the fall of 2009, MEASAT-2 was still functioning reliably beyond its planned 12 year life. With help from Boeing Satellite Systems, MEASAT drift relocated MEASAT-2 from its 148°E orbital location, across the Indian Ocean to provide service to the African continent. In January, 2010, MEASAT renamed MEASAT-2 as "AFRICASAT-2". The AFRICASAT-2 satellite now provides service at the 5.7°E orbital location in inclined orbit. AFRICASAT-2 provides both C and Ku-Band capacity for telecommunications and broadcasting services across Africa, Southern Europe and the Middle East.

FRIDAY, June 24 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that the
practice of "sexting" -- sending salacious texts or nude photos
over the Internet -- is now a key tool for Americans bent on
Sexting, which notoriously cost former Democratic Congressman
Anthony Weiner his job, is "alive and well," said sociologist Diane
Kholos Wysocki, the study's lead author. In fact, she said, it's a
part of the whole extra-marital mating ritual, according to
Wysocki, who said adulterous interactions that begin online seem to
follow a regular pattern.
"People meet, then they send pictures, then they send naked pictures, then they proceed and ultimately meet if they find that they're compatible," she said.
The study, based on a survey of almost 5,200 users of a website
devoted to extra-marital dating called ashleymadison.com, doesn't
say anything about the habits of the American population in
general. And, as Kholos Wysocki acknowledged, its value is also
limited because it only includes those people who volunteered to
take part and were already using the site.
"Any time you get a group of people on the Internet, we can't say it's representative," said Kholos Wysocki, a professor of sociology, University of Nebraska at Kearney. However, she said the survey does offer insight into why people choose to stay married but still have affairs.
As of a year ago, the ashleymadison.com site, whose motto is
"Life is short. Have an affair," claimed more than 6 million
members. Working with the site, Kholos Wysocki in 2009 posted a
survey for members with 68 questions. The results appear in a
recent online issue of the journal
Sexuality & Culture.
Those who responded tend to be upscale (with a median income of
about $86,000), mostly married (64 percent) and highly educated
(about 70 percent attended college, and 20 percent had advanced
degrees). More than 6 out of every 10 respondents were male.
Sixty percent of the women and close to half of the men said
they'd engaged in sexting -- sending naked photos of themselves via
email or cell phone. Age was no bar for the practice, since about
40 percent of people over the age of 50 had done so. However,
sexting was much more likely among the few surveyed who were aged
About three-quarters of people of both genders acknowledged
having cheated while in a serious relationship. More than 8 in 10
women and two-thirds of men said they'd met people in person after
first encountering them online. That suggests many users plan on
consummating an extra-marital relationship, not just looking and
flirting online.
Jeffrey T. Parsons, professor of psychology at Hunter College in
New York City, said the finding isn't surprising. "People who are
going to use a website to look for extra-marital affairs are
probably willing to go the distance, as it were," he said. "Sure,
there are probably some who just use the website for the
titillation factor and the sense of thrill and danger and perhaps
'being bad.' But the nature of the website no doubt attracts those
who are interested in more than just cybersex."
In some cases, spouses weren't kept in the dark. "There were a
number of them who went on there
with their spouses, looking to add to their sex life," Kholos
Wysocki noted.
Psychology professor Parsons explained that "there are adults in
consensual relationships in which sexting, cybersex, and even
in-person sexual relations with other people are negotiated and
What has the Internet's overall impact been on adultery? "You
can't blame cheating on the Internet," Kholos Wysocki reasoned.
"People who don't have the Internet are still cheating."
However, she said, the Internet has probably made it easier to
find new partners. "It takes less time," she said.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by JJWA Comfortable walking shoes I searched high and low for replacement walking shoes, and finally found the Pheehan models. Needing a wider shoe, I was surprised by the comfort of the Pheehan shoes, and wound up buying two pair. The lacing is a bit uncomfortable at the top of my foot, but tolerable when I walk 3~5 miles at a time for exercise. I can't really say anything about the durability as I've had them for only two weeks, but they show little wear for putting over 35 miles on each pair. I'll have to see what happens once we hit our fall season with lots of drizzle and rain. 7/31/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dutchman55 this product delivers Its about time that reebok has made a great shoe that competes and out out does the NB shoe...NB is traditionally for wide width men,Reebok has upped its game and their shoe out performs the NB.I will no longer purchase NB,i can now wear Reebok! 11/7/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LizziP321 Very comfortable and look good too. I have had multiple surgeries on my left foot, consequently I have a difficult time finding shoes that will fit. These shoes are fitting very nicely, and do not cause my feet to ache. I am very happy with them. The tech i Chatted with was very helpful in finding the right shoe for my problem feet. Thank you. 12/14/13

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Vin22 Comfort all day long I wore them the some day they arrived, I put them on we went to the movie, dinner and a short walk with new shoes on very comfortable. I 'am not a runner, just casual ware. 7/12/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by ReebokCustomer I like Reebok, but Reebok does not have a fixed size. My size is 7.5, but some time my size with Reebok 7.5, 8.0 or 8.5 which makes my order online very hard. 7/3/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chuck50 Great shoe, great price. Easy to use website. I was very happy when I found your wide width selection. I am a big fan of your shoes and immediately purchased a pair. The website was easy to use and my shoes arrived on schedule. My first time putting my new shoes on, my feet felt like they were home. Thank you for a great shoe at a great price. 4/17/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Matt4422 Great Sneakers! I have run 342 miles in this pair of shoes and they are finally completely worn down. As other reviewers have noted, they probably aren't the lightest pair, but I have run through snow and mud without tripping so I can't complain. For the price, they far exceeded expectations and I am going to pick up a new pair tonight! 4/3/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by eric1234 just bought this shoe so far very pleased got them for 47 dollars. i have a wide foot so these really are a big step up from alot of selections available to us bigger guys. only thing that i am concerned with is that the memory foam is soft and comfortable but the rubber sole feels kinda hard when i walk. overall nice shoe and would recommend for someone that needs a shoe with width. 1/20/14

Project Lean, Part Three: CAN white men jump?
The thing is that white men maybe could have jumped but every white man that was born after that movie that was young enough and impressionable enough was like, "I give up on jumping…"
– Paul Ritchey
If you missed Part One and Part Two of this story, I can sum it up for you in two sentences – I challenged myself, with the help of Maximuscle, to bulk up and learn to dunk by Christmas. Then I got injured.
As you might expect, over two weeks out of the gym put a major dent in the whole thing…not to mention that I came home for Christmas and ate ALL of the food. Seriously, I think my mother might actually be the witch from Hansel and Gretel. But still, there remains a silver lining in this cloudy sky…
Until recently, no-one has ever told me that I look like I've been working out. Well, not without laughing or picking me up or throwing a peanut butter sandwich at my head afterwards. However, in the past couple of weeks, not one but TWO people have told me I'm looking bulkier. And I'm like 90% positive they weren't just messing with me.
Can I dunk yet? Not even close. I can scrape the rim when I jump, which means I still have to add a few inches to my vertical before I can dunk. I'm better than I used to be, but not where I wanted to be by now. But that doesn't mean the dream is over – my Hyperaggressors are still going strong and I still have plenty of protein shake fixin's left over. Maybe I'll be able to dunk by next Christmas…
In terms of gains, these are my new measurements:
Chest – 39″ (vs 38″ in October)
Biceps (untensed) – 10.5″ (vs 10″ in Oct)
Waist (at hips) – 35″ (vs 34″ in Oct)
Shoulders – 46″ (vs 43″ in Oct)
Thighs – 21″ (vs 20.5″ in Oct)
I have no idea how this would stack up against a professional weightlifter, or how badly a couple of weeks off affected my progress, but I'm still pretty happy with the results. Three inches on my shoulders and half an inch on my arms in two and a half months seems pretty good to me. Keen to improve even more in 2013, though I'm not looking forward to how busy my gym will be in January…
Think you could do better? Rude. But if you want to put your money where your mouth is (and potentially win £5,000…), you might like to check out this video about The Protein Project. I'll be registering shortly. Game on.

THE EVENT: The Matrix IndiviDUALity tour. THE VENUE: The Foxwoods Resort in Ledyard, Connecticut.
THE DETAILS: The tour hit Ledyard, Nashville and Phoenix, presenting to more than 600 stylists. The concept: One color and one cut can lead to multiple styles reflecting the individuality of each client. This two-day educational road show included a presentation followed by a hands-on, step-by-step C.R.A.F.T. Education Master Class. In each case, one color and one cut was restyled to create multiple looks.
THE BUZZ: "This is a wonderful, inspirational event," says Nicholas French, one of the educators along with other Matrix Global Artistic Designers Daniel Roldan, Franco Della Grazia, Darek Wierzbicki and UK-based Errol Douglas. "It's designed to showcase versatility and celebrate a client's alter ego. A different style, a different attitude."
THE LAST WORD: "This is great education for me," said one stylist from Ridgefield, Connecticut. "I have one client who insists on the same cut and color over and over. Now I can mix it up before she leaves the salon."

The turkey cheddar sausage had a use-by-date of August 20th.

The entertainment was even worse - I do work in this industry and regularly hire performers - I wouldn't give this Entertainment Director a second audition, let alone a job. I'm not sure who this stuff was for. The constant muzak played everywhere else was awful and seemed stuck in the 1980s - again I'm not sure who that was for.
There were port stops at Viggo and La Coruna in Spain which were wholly unspectacular and pointless, and yet our stop in Madiera was woefully short. Often for ports RC advertised shuttles at the cost of $12, without telling passengers that there were other free options available once onshore.
In conclusion this was a total rip off

- Crown Royal and Justin Moore Team Up To Honor Heroes
February 21, 2013 | By IMS
Crown Royal and Justin Moore Team Up To Honor Heroes
NASCAR's most famous race will receive a little extra star power this weekend when country music singer Justin Moore makes a special appearance in Daytona to launch Crown Royal's annual "Your Hero's Name Here" program, which will award naming rights to this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to a deserving hero.
Moore will perform a special concert at 10 a.m. on Sunday, February 24 at the Crown Royal footprint (in the Fan Zone outside of Turn 4), during which he'll cast the inaugural "Your Hero's Name Here" nominations, identifying two local heroes who are making a difference in their communities and will have a chance to win naming rights to the July race. Moore, who recently announced his first headline tour, titled "Outlaws Like Me," will also perform a number of his hit singles.
Moore and the whisky brand are encouraging adult consumers to nominate their own personal heroes (21 or older) – from firefighters and police officers, to first responders and veterans – for naming rights to the race, officially titled the Crown Royal Presents the "Your Hero's Name Here" 400 at the Brickyard. Fans can visit CrownRoyalHeroes.com through April 14 to submit their nominations.
The race, to be held on July 28, 2013, is the culminating event of the Crown Royal Heroes ProjectTM, an ongoing commitment to recognize everyday heroes and give back to their communities. This year's race will mark the seventh time Crown Royal has awarded naming rights of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race to an adult fan and the second year in a row that the Brickyard 400 has been renamed in honor of a hero.
Nominations will be accepted through April 14, and the five finalists will be announced shortly after. Once the finalists are announced, fans will be provided the chance to cast a vote to determine the winner. The winner will be revealed in a special ceremony leading up to the race.
The grand-prize winner will receive a trip to Indianapolis, where he or she will receive the royal treatment throughout race weekend before delivering the trophy bearing his or her name to the race winner in Victory Lane.
When raising a glass to your hero, Crown Royal reminds you to please drink responsibly.

Not more of this shit… Epic Meal Time is getting its own show on G4
Why? This doesn't need to be on TV. We need LESS overconsumption, not more. But then, I guess TV execs never claimed any kind of social responsibility. See Jersey Shore, I Love New York, The Bachelor, etc if you need evidence.
G4 has closed a deal to make a pilot with the team behind the hit YouTube cooking show created by Harley Morenstein and friends. The web effort, which regularly features outlandishly high-calorie dishes, has become an Internet phenomenom since its Sept. 2010 launch.
To date, web episodes centered on copious amounts of bacon and other meat products have collectively garnered 275 million upload views. Similarly impressive, EpicMealTime ranks as the No. 12 most subscribed to YouTube Channel of all time with nearly 2 million subscribers.
The cable pilot will be produced by Comcast Entertainment Studios, with Jay James (Guliana & Bill, The Soup), Gregory Heller, KP Anderson (The Soup, Web Soup) and Morenstein attached as executive producers. Darren Morenstein and Evan Rimer are on board as co-executive producers, with Jake Farrow as a consulting producer.

CPI in October 2008
November 20, 2008
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased 1.0 percent in October following very little change in September and August. The large October decline was the largest one month decrease since publication of seasonally adjusted changes began in February 1947.
The energy index fell 8.6 percent in October following declines of 1.9 percent in September and 3.1 percent in August. Motor fuel prices continued to decline in October, with the gasoline index falling 14.2 percent. Despite the decline, gasoline prices remain 12.0 percent above their October 2007 level.
The food index increased 0.3 percent in October, a smaller advance than the average monthly increase of 0.7 percent during the June through September period. Compared with a year earlier, the food index was up 6.3 percent.
The index for all items less food and energy turned down in October, declining 0.1 percent to a level 2.2 percent above October 2007.
For the 12 months ended in October 2008, the CPI-U rose 3.7 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Consumer Price Index: October 2008," (PDF) (HTML) news release USDL 08-1713.

Consumer confidence has dipped, in part because of slow employment growth, and shoppers have gravitated toward bargains in recent months.
A group of eight U.S. retailers reported an overall 3 percent increase in sales at stores open at least a year, better than analysts' forecasts of 2 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Costco reported a slightly bigger-than-expected 3 percent gain in same-store sales. Fresh food was among its best-selling products, and the weakest category was consumer electronics.
L. Brands said its same-store sales were up 8 percent, well above the 2.2 percent gain Wall Street analysts were expecting, according to Thomson Reuters.
The 16-day U.S. government shutdown at the start of the month weighed on consumer confidence and slowed job growth. U.S. job growth probably slowed sharply in October, with the unemployment rate ticking higher, according a Reuters survey of economists published this week.
The International Council of Shopping Centers is forecasting same-store sales will rise 3 percent to 4 percent in November, in part because the shutdown has ended, eliminating one source of consumer anxiety, Chief Economist Michael Niemira said. But the trade group still expects only modest growth this holiday season.
Many retailers noted worrisome patterns as retailers head into the holiday season.

"We expect the holiday season to be extremely competitive," Penney Chief Executive Officer Myron Ullman said in a statement.
Cool weather helped some retailers, such as low-priced clothing chain Cato Corp
But Cato also said it expected a tough holiday quarter, as did teen chain Abercrombie & Fitch Co

As family historians, we have become immersed with the world of the Internet. We are quickly becoming spoiled with the convenience of finding real genealogical documents on our computers, and with one click the records are at our fingertips. With expectations, we continue to look at every available website, every link that can bring us closer to our ancestors. But as we all know, there are limits to the big Internet universe and as hard as we try, we sometimes reach a dead end.
With great anticipation of putting my research into print, I wrapped up my family history book and mailed the manuscript off to the publisher. But even with a feeling of relief over my accomplishment, I had a small but ever noticeable feeling that something or someone was missing. It was that sense that there was something else, 'just look harder', I kept hearing in the back of my mind. And I kept going back to my research, looking at names and staring at one that was missing; my maternal great great grandmother.
Now all of us involved in this hobby-or obsession-accept that there will always be ancestors left unknown on our family tree, but this one was different. I was raised in a family home that was passed on through the generations with various extended family members living in it from time to time. My maternal great grandmother, Jennie, was the matriarch of my family and much of my heritage and family traditions are passed from her. So what was it that I was missing in my ancestral search? It was Jennie's mother, my great great grandmother. A woman that died at a young age, leaving Jennie age nine, without a mother.
I remember the day I felt compelled to pick up the phone. Much e-mail had been passed back and forth with the publisher over the final details of my book, but I just couldn't shake this feeling of incompleteness. Then it came to me: There must be a marriage certificate of my great great grandparents somewhere. And that's when I picked up the phone and called the court clerk's office of Oakland County Michigan. I requested a marriage certificate, sometime between 1861 and 1862, for Henry Clark, Jennie's father. I made a guess on the date based on my great grandmother's birth date. As Jennie was the oldest child, I speculated they must of married at least nine to ten months before her birth. The clerk on the other end of the phone was helpful, seemed accommodating as she responded with "I'll call you back in a few minutes."
Ten minutes had passed and the phone rang. "We have a marriage certificate of a Henry Clark and Rebecca Crawford for the 25th of April 1861." I instantly knew that was it! I had found a census record with the name Rebecca listed as the mother but of course, no maiden name available. I requested a copy and one was received within a few days. I immediately replaced the empty space on my tree on Ancestry.Com with Rebecca Crawford and information began to flow.
What evolved afterwards is saved for another blog, but the lesson learned is this: When stuck over an ancestor's maiden name, do not hesitate to contact the court clerk's office. Many archived marriage certificates are still stuffed in dusty, cataloged books on the shelves of little county court clerk offices, waiting to be found. Not with a click on the computer, but with the touch of the phone, providing proof of that missing ancestor so vital to your family tree.
Keep searching for answers,

Decided to try the strawberry flavour tastes similar to the express dairy milkshakes that were about in the 90"s. Mixes very well i use about 80% milk and 20% water so it"s not to thick, has a good amount of protein and natural ingredients. The only negative is that 2 hours later i am hungry again but thats probably me as i have a physical job and also do weight training. The price is good for a box of 20 and i also got about a fiver off with a MP discount code, will probably purchase again and try a different flavour. I would certainly recommend this and the delivery is very fast aswell
Im trying to bulk up and as an ectomorph find it rather hard work. Especially the eating! I work on the road and these prepacked shakes mean i can get a convenient meal in me and keep the calories flowing. Mix ability is good. I only ever get a few small lumps. They taste great! Ive only used the choc mint so far and i tend to mix them with water but im just about to order some more! Effectiveness. Well im now 4 weeks into my training plan. Im hitting around 3500 cals a day and using spectrum gainer aswell as a healthy diet eating every 3 hours. I also have a casein shake before bed after a training session. I take bcaas to get my body repaired as fast as possible so i can hit the gym asap. I do 3 sessions a week. Gained 8lb in 4 weeks (now 156lbs) and dropped another 1% body fat (now 15.4%) so all in all quite happy. The only downside is the cost. They arnt cheap! Just about to hit the order button again

Tastes good, mixes pretty well. You need a large shaker bottle though as you add between 400 and 500 mls of water and there is a good amount of powder to add. Keeps hunger away for two to three hours. I'm only doing one shake per day but dropped there to four pounds over a couple of weeks. Recommended. Goes Well With:Exercise!

I hate the taste of every other protein I have tried and yet this one tastes great, doesn't taste like whey at all and yet it has a great macro nutrient profile. Now it is the only whey protein I drink please don't stop making it! :)

great product for gaining weight as well; alongside gymming every other day and 2 sachets each day + regular meals, gained a total of 7kg healthy weight over 2 months. Great for skinny beginners!

Having used Met-Rx and Myoplex in the past I thought it was time to review my MRP intake. I have just purchased True MRP and found it to be just as good as the others but slightly cheaper and with a little bit more protein in each sachet. Mixes really well in 400ml of water into a pretty thick shake but you need to use a whisk or blender. Keeps you full for up to 3 hours easily, I will definitely be ordering more.

I have found the product to be effective for post training protein intake and as a meal in itself. The powder mixes with ease. The powder has an acceptable taste in comparison to other meal replacements. I would recommend True MRP.

Volunteers walked for a cause Wednesday morning as part of International Walk to School Day.
Sunrise Children's Hospital and Safe Kids Clark County partnered with FedEx and UNLV Safe Communities to advocate safer walking environments for kids.
The event took place at 10 elementary schools throughout the valley and kicked off at Gray Elementary School.
Volunteers walked with thousands of local students to identify unsafe intersections, streets in need of sidewalks and areas where pedestrians had either been hit or injured by a motor vehicle.
Organizers of the event said education is important when it comes to creating safer, more pedestrian-friendly communities.
They said Walk to School Day works to get that message out, especially when the National Center for Health Statistics reports that road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among children ages 3-14 worldwide.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
5 Genes Linked to Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Aug. 16, 2011 -- Researchers in Seattle and Sweden have identified five inherited genetic markers that could help spot men with the most aggressive and deadly forms of prostate cancer.
They say the discovery may lead to a simple blood test to help distinguish between men with prostate cancer who need aggressive treatment and those who don't.
Overtreatment is a major concern in prostate cancer in part because the most widely used therapies -- surgery and radiation -- can cause lifelong side effects including impotence and incontinence.
Genetic markers that can distinguish between patients with aggressive and non-aggressive prostate cancers are urgently needed, Janet L. Stanford, PhD, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center tells WebMD.
She adds that the markers identified by her research team represent the first evidence that gene variants known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) play a role in prostate cancer progression.
Identifying High-Risk Patients
SNPs are single-letter variations within the four-letter DNA alphabet. They are increasingly recognized as having an important role in disease progression.
"Ultimately, these markers could be used in the clinic, along with other known predictors that are used to assess tumor aggressiveness, such as a high Gleason score, to identify men with a high-risk profile," Stanford says in a news release.
About 200,000 prostate cancers are diagnosed each year in the U.S. About 30,000 men die of the disease.
Often prostate cancer is slow growing. Men with the disease often die of other causes before the malignancy turns deadly.
But prostate cancer patients are usually treated with either surgery or radiation because there is no reliable way to determine if an individual patient's prostate cancer is slow growing or aggressive, William Phelps, PhD, of the American Cancer Society tells WebMD.
In the newly published study, Stanford and colleagues analyzed DNA samples from 1,309 Seattle-based prostate cancer patients, looking for gene variants suspected of being involved in tumor progression.
The analysis of 156 candidate genes identified 22 SNPs linked to prostate cancer-specific death.
In a separate analysis, the researchers examined these variants in stored DNA samples from close to 2,900 prostate cancer patients in Sweden who had been followed for an average of six and a half years.
Five of the 22 SNPs emerged as being significantly associated with death from prostate cancer in this larger group of patients.
The variants included:
- LEPR, a leptin receptor gene involved in tissue growth, inflammation, the development of blood vessels and bone density. The bone density association may explain why prostate cancers often spread to the bone before spreading to other organs, the researchers suggested.
- RNASEL, a gene associated with programmed cell death, inflammation, and the ability of cells to multiply rapidly.
- Interleukin 4, which is associated with tumor growth, blood vessel development, and cancer cell migration.
- Cytochrome 1, which is a gene involved in circadian rhythms, which could affect testosterone levels.
- ARVCF, a gene that is involved in cell communication, which has previously been linked to cancer progression.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — James River Coal Co. is shutting down several of its eastern Kentucky mines and laying off 525 full-time employees, blaming continued weak coal markets.
The Richmond, Va.-based company, one of the top coal producers in the U.S., said the layoffs are at mines in five eastern Kentucky counties: the McCoy Elkhorn complex in Pike and Floyd counties; the Bledsoe complex in Leslie and Harlan counties; and the Long Branch Surface mine in London.
The state's Appalachian region in eastern Kentucky has a long history of coal production, but weak demand, low natural gas prices and stricter federal regulations have hurt mine production in recent years.
The slowdown has forced mining companies to idle mines and lay off workers by the hundreds in eastern Kentucky. The region lost about 4,000 mining jobs in 2012, according to data compiled by the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.
James River said the restart of the mines is subject to market conditions.
Republican and Democrat candidates for Kentucky's U.S. Senate race seized on news of the layoffs Tuesday, saying they are the result of regulatory overreach by the Obama administration.
"The President is leading a war on coal and what that really means for Kentucky families is a war on jobs," Republican Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, said in a written statement. McConnell said President Obama's jobs proposals are not helping workers in the eastern Kentucky region.
Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Kentucky Secretary of State who is running for the Democratic nomination in the Senate race, said the president needs to develop an environmental policy "that does not threaten Kentuckians' livelihoods."
"I will not stand idle as overreaching regulation adversely impacts jobs and middle class families," Grimes said in a written statement.
An earnings report last month from James River said its coal sales revenue for operations in central Appalachia totaled $123 million for the quarter that ended on June 30, compared to $233 million for the same period in 2012. The central Appalachian region includes eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia.
James River Coal mines thermal coal for power generation and metallurgical coal used to produce steel. It also has operations in southern West Virginia and southern Indiana.
The company also idled several mines and reduced production at others in March.

Problem Pregnancy
When to Worry
A woman's body goes through so many changes during pregnancy that it is sometimes hard for her to know when to worry. Many changes such as heartburn, gradual weight gain, and fatigue are just part of being pregnant; however, some problems are not a routine part of pregnancy and should prompt an urgent call or visit to your doctor or midwife. The following are not normal and require medical evaluation:
|Sudden weight gain
Sudden swelling of the hands or feet
Vaginal bleeding
Persistent headache
Blurred vision or spots before your eyes
Excessive nausea and vomiting
Failure to gain weight or weight loss
Leaking fluid from the vagina
Burning during or increased frequency of urination
Abdominal pain
Regular or frequent contractions (>4-6 per hour)
Decrease in fetal movement
Bleeding in the early months of pregnancy signals the possibility of a miscarriage. As many as 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Sometimes this occurs so early in pregnancy a woman may not even know she was pregnant. Bleeding, clots, and cramping are the usual signs of miscarriage. Surgery (D&C) may be required to completely empty the uterus.
Ectopic Pregnancy
Sometimes a woman is pregnant, but the fertilized egg does not make it all the way into proper position in the uterus. As the embryo begins to grow in its abnormal location, it stretches and may tear delicate structures and blood vessels. The symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are bleeding, low back pain, nausea, lower abdominal pain or cramping, and the usual signs of pregnancy. This can turn quickly into an emergency and requires surgery to remove the malpositioned, nonviable embryo.
Premature Labor
Premature labor and delivery are common problems of pregnancy. About 11 percent of all pregnancies in 1995 ended in delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation. The seriousness of the problem depends on how prematurely a woman goes into labor. A change in vaginal discharge, leakage of fluid from the vagina, menstrual-like cramps, dull backache or abdominal cramping for more than one hour, or a feeling of having to push, all may indicate premature labor. The consequences of early delivery can be serious for your baby. Seek care and advice immediately.

Let the HD voices cry out some more. DirecTV is at it again. This time, the satellite provider says that 30-plus more high-definition channels are going to start showing up beginning on August 14. And, oh yeah, it'll start giving us movies in 1080p resolution later this year.
That's a lot of HD news to swallow. And we can hear you now—"But DirecTV HD is so compressed!" "Hey, 30 more channels of garbage to watch in stretch-o-vision!" or the other side "Well 30 more HD channels is almost 30 more than my cable service is giving me now!"
We'll let you debate DirecTV's HD greatness or HD lite-ness in the comments below. As for the news, the company says the HD channel lineup will be boosted to 130, and all of its high-def programming will come in MPEG-4 coding with Dolby Digital audio.
New HD programming will include: Showtime Extreme HD, Showtime Showcase HD, Planet Green HD, ABC Family HD, additional DIRECTV HD pay per view channels and 23 Regional Sports Networks. It's all part of DirecTV's express train to 200 national HD channels and 1,500 local HD and digital channels, the company says, thanks to the DirecTV 11 and DirecTV 12 (due to launch next year) satellites.
And that other little wrinkle in the company's news—full HD 1080p movies. I'm sure we'll say equal opportunity rejoicing and criticizing over that whenever DirecTV begins airing the flicks. Either way, seems like a pretty exciting step. Especially considering my cable provider hasn't added a single HD channel since I went high-def last November (DirecTV fans, can you sway me?).
