The Fed's free money policy creates the largest disincentive to save and reserve.
It doesn't take rocket science to explain this one, but none of the politicians will understand and act on this information. People sold stocks last year because of the threat to raise long term capital gains tax. I know California got a windfall — earlier article here. I am guessing most other states did too.
Would guess there were not/will not be very many checks this year due to no fear of a long term capital gains tax increase and that the market has had the hell beat out of it over the last few weeks.
States need to have a law that requires them to have the equivalent of a FU fund. Everyone should have a personal fund to get you by for a few months in case the fecal material hits the rotary air movement device. Businesses have the equivalent — with a politically correct name. Why shouldn't the states? (We will hope for the Federal Government later — too much to wish for at one time) :-)
What are Dem's talking about???? This country HAS a progressive income tax structure. What Dem's and socio-political Libs are about include envy, a lack of creativity, and the desire to have what they can't afford AND, better yet, have others pay for these desires. Those aren't folks we should want as leaders or neighbors.
Illinois has a flat tax rate, and we still have budget issues. When you write an article, it may be more effective to consider very basic refutations and counter them.
flat tax.
Every day is a rainy day for the Democrats which, of course, leaves those rainy day funds dry as a bone.
Ever wonder why we have homes on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe? So when the Feds up the ante and the State of Ca comes a knocking for more $, we simply make Nevada the primary residence (yes with proof and consumption for that 51/49 split of time) and commute down to the Bay Area when needed.
There is a behavioral response to taxation, something that is never allowed in the flawed tax policies and projection.
No politican can keep his grubby fingers off of a "rainy day" reserve fund for very long. They will spend it ALL !
The government does not properly tax the millionaires and billionaires. Taxes must go up so that there is no way republicans can destroy Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. Being wealthy and successful is wonderful. I am all for being as rich as you want to be, but right now we need funding for the government because of so much borrowing that took place for wars we have started. We never saw the sacrifice that we should have all been glad to take for our military and our troops. Now it is only cuts that the GOP is for. That is not the way to fix the real fix we are in.
One problem with "soaking the rich" is that the rich can quite easily move out of state, and out of the country. Remember Charlie Chaplin? And Tiger Woods, not alone in moving to Florida.
Some unimaginative politician said that what we need is not more taxes, but more taxpayers. I have to guess that this means more people working. What an odd concept.
The wealthy get rich by using our shared physical, political, and legal infrastructure. They should then pay their proportional share. In fact, since they more successfully exploited the infrastructure, they should pay more than their fair share. And since the wealthy don't want to be seen as the bad guys, they should pay still more as a gesture of good will. Sound reasonable?
So, because the income of some of the rich varies from year to year based on factors like stock market performance, we should not tax them and instead broaden the tax base. Wow, I had thought I heard it all. For instance, we can't tax the rich because they are the job creators (how great has that worked for us the last 3 years). Or, the rich will move if we increase their tax (and commute to Greenwich from Baton Rouge). The fact is that the tax rate on the rich is at one of the lowest rates in US history. I would gladly settle for raising it to the "average historical rate".
You cannot compare CT with the rest of the US. Give me the numbers from GA, FL, AZ, CO, MT etc and we'll see. From a leftie, liberal (and apparently these days) anti- American, if you believe the talk-show hosts. 'Course we can't count the two tours in Vietnam.
do you want free? Do you think those that work harder than othes should pay more? If you decide to work 70 hours a week should you pay more than the person that works 35? If you get A's because you study longer, should you give .5 to the other person who did not.
As someone who grew up in a uniion family who saw strikes of 130 and 200 days plus and the limited support they gave to union members I vowed to never let that happen to my family. What did i do, i doubled down and worked harder, longer smarter to get independence for my family. What does that mean? I spent long times on the road away from my family, pushing harder and working the american dream. Now I am being told that I should pay for the people who dont want to work. How is that fair? First job out of college in 1987, yes 1987 was 12, 500. My lihe has improved alot but it was not a gift. It was work.
Are their rich fleecing the system I am sure. Maybe look at the politiians first. $172K a year and you are a millionaire? Charlie Rangel a real estate magnate? Please. Keep it simple. Dont call it politics call it common sense. Most peopel are the same and agree on many issues. But lets get respect and hard work back. Life is not free.
Federal income tax rates are already adjusted for income. If you look at the real numbers that all of the entitlements are going to cost — it is somewhere north of 90 TRILLION over the next 10 years. There is no way that the US economy can deal with that kind of debt. Spending has to be cut. We wealthy pay WAY MORE THAN OUR SHARE. Our tax rates adjust EVERY year to account for income changes. Our exemptions go away. It isn't going to take much more and we will move out of CA.
I am guessing that there are at least 10% fewer millionaires today than there were a couple of months ago. I am guessing that there are about 10% fewer billionaires too. What does this mean? Less taxes coming in and significantly less spending in the consumer sector. The loss of confidence in the president and congress is going to make the next year difficult, to say the least.
"The best solution to the volatility problem, as far as I can see, are large emergency reserves, or "rainy day funds."
Man! You certainly can't see very far, can you? In Arizona, Governor Janet Napolitano spent every last dime of every rainy day fund the state had, and she did it during the best of economic times. She also liquidated all of the land trust assets that belonged to the schools. And! there is nothing whatsoever to show for it. Absolutely nothing!
The safest place for money is to leave it in the hands of the people who earned it. Governments don't tax to "raise revenue". They tax to make themselves look good for the next election cycle.
Although definately off topic, the recent youth riots in London (which are sure to be repeated elsewhere) have had me thinking a great deal about the types of discussions that we see on this board.
The conclustion that I reached is that youth and societal expectations, the education system and government policy relating to employment and social services are all still geared to a world which no longer exists. Specifically the world of this lost generation's parents and grandparents. In this world, if you finished a level of free or subsidized schooling (high school, college, graduate school) you had a reasonable expectation that some entity (corporation or government) would provide you with employment until a predetermined date that you could stop working and "retire". There would also be a government provided "social safety net" that would help you through periods of temporary unemployment. Finally, there would be an employer and/or provided pension which would allow you to stop working at a particular age and provide a guaranteed lifestyle.
Unfortunately whether you want to blame "flattening effects", "globalization", "capitalism", "socialism", "poorly run governments", "greedy financiers", "lazy poor people", or even me…this world is dead or dying. No matter what your political stripe it is not coming back. As with any death, people need to work through the Kubler-Ross stages of Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. If you look at it this way, you will see that the vast majority of people are at the Denial stage. These rioting youth are obviously at the Anger stage. Many politicians are at the Bargaining stage. Some people will get stuck at a stage and remain miserable.
The optimist in me hopes that most people will move quickly through all of these stages, just as societies moved through the Agarian and Industrial revolutions. With any luck, the emerging new world will bring forth a similar rise in the human condition that emerged out of these two prior eras.
To bring this theory somewhat back to the topic at hand, government subsidized public education and the social safety net were paid for by tax revenues provided by a) an easy collection source deduction of employees; and b) hyper-reliance on a small number of wealth individuals who were few in number and generated most of their income in wealth in domestically visible ways.
Unfortunately this revenue model is broken because
1) self-employment and offshoring is greatly reducing employees;
2) the wealthy are no longer bound to domestic locations to make or hold their wealth. While the option of holding this wealth undetected internationally existed until the UBS scandal, now that this is no longer a viable option, you are seeing them legally leave the taxing regime permanently by expatriation;
Even if there wasn't massive overspending during the time that the revenue model worked, the model is still broken. The debt and deficiet are just accelerating the death of the old system and making it more difficult for most people to have a "soft landing" through this transition period.
David — interesting point. I enjoyed a change in what is usually posted here.
the RULE OF LIFE
The Strong Survive
I disagree, although tax revenue from the wealthy is important, I would not desribe it as "dependency". Besides, what's wrong with working towards attracting those with means to a particular state? For instances look at the development and investment opportunities that aare occurring in NJ right now. The tax revenue from the rich is being pumped back into the local economy in the form of urban real estate development projects.

Monday Webcomic News Stylings with Anchorman Xaviar Xerexes
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on September 18, 2006 - 11:13
Have a good summer? I did. Now it's back to school, back to work, U.S. election campaing smackdown, American football and Rest-of-the-World football, Pope-apologizing, Will-There-Be-Peace-In-
The-Middle East Webcomics season. So I'm sleepy back!
Reinder catches that Barry Deutsch has sold his URL (amptoons.com) to someone else who is using the URL for "search engine optimization". Deutsch will still be able to use the URL for his blog "Alas" and his cartoons.
Webcomics-in-Print blog has a great round-up of book news today including links to pre-orders for the new books from Bunny, Ninja Bunny and Makeshift Miracle. There's also news that Kris Straub is going to put out soon a "38 page technical manual of the Fuseli" the ship from his webcomic Starslip Crisis.
This coming Saturday (September 23) is Worldwide Sketchcrawl Day. The basic idea of a "sketchcrawl" is to draw throughout the day from location to location (the inspiration comes from a pubcrawl). This I could see doing.
And in less then a month (October 7th) it's 24 Hour Comics Day. I've never done this and probably never will. But if anyone is doing it this year and is willing to document/photograph/blog it for Comixpedia please let me know (or just post it even if you don't let me know).
Gary Tyrrell of Fleen posts a letter to the comics/features editor of his newspaper. Despite my best wishes for R. Stevens to succeed in his new newspaper gig I don't have a lot of hope for a resurgence creatively on the nation's newspaper comics page.
I discovered Lines and Colors this summer - a very good blog about art (Argon Zark creator Charlie Parker contributes).
I also discovered that "retired" webcomics creator Hard still posts sometimes to his blog. The latest entry is a sarcastic take on how to create a successful webcomic.
Missed this but Hope Larson has a comic in a new anthology called Project: Romantic. The Flight blog links to a review of her comic.
This looks possibly interesting: a new NBC show called Heroes which is "about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives.... Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world." (Really the show I'm jazzed about though is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.)
24hour comics
by The William G - 09/18/2006 - 12:36
Maybe I'll do another 12 hour comic like "last" year's. I had some pretty good results, I feel.
Oh wait, I'll be on an island. Maybe the following weekend if I dont have anything better to do.Â
12 Hours I could do.
by Xaviar Xerexes - 09/18/2006 - 13:35
I could see blocking out a day to do a single comic but I can't stay up all night - it would just mess me up for about another week or so before I could get my sleep schedule back to feeling normal again.
Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Gnaw.
I run this place! Tip the piano player on the way out.
4 Hour Comic then
by Iain Hamp - 09/18/2006 - 16:11
Simple solution. Follow the same guidelines as a 24 hour comic, but in 4 hours instead. That's right, 100 panels in FOUR hours. Now that's a challenge.
Seriously, I've tried it two or three times. Never got to 100 panels, but I sure got some fun results from it.
For England James...

Re: 17 months post op update.
One of the things that happens to many of us is the tightness or gripping in our thoracic(upper spine) area. I call it the bear traps since it grips and holds. This happens mostly when the winter storms approach, in that the low atmospheric pressure allows the nerve cells to expand in the scar tissue around our paraspinal muscles and soft tissues in the surgical area. It seems like its in the 4 inch wide surgical zone only.....After 6 years now, this it what I have experienced, only during the winter months so its cold related. I have been in summer storms and have not felt the bear traps and during the summers I have no issues whatsoever. This past week the storms have been hitting the west coast and travelling across the country. Its been a tough week for sure. As spring comes, things will get easier. There have been many weather related bear trap threads on NSF through the years.
My second year of recovery was what I call my fine tuning year....it was the year of re-building all the muscles and soft tissues that were basically neglected during the 1st year of my recovery. Being a skier for my whole life, this process was an extremely difficult one and almost quit skiing. It was basically about pushing past the pain.....it took quite a bit of determination but I did it. My surgeon warned me about sleeping all the time, and I do agree with your surgeon about getting out there and being active. It seems that we have to be active, the times I was sedentary, laying around was when the aches and pains elevated.
There are some fantastic hiking spots in Colorado!....I skied there decades ago and at most of Colorados ski areas and it might not be a bad idea to go out there and check it out....take a pair of ski poles for support. I do a fair amount of hiking when I can and have actually picked some tough hikes and barely made it out! When you have to worry about bears, you wont think about your back....its a kind of forced physical therapy program. He he There are way too many bears hanging out in Lake Tahoe these past few years and are issuing hunting tags since there are thousands of them now....
I had a broken shoulder and arm when I did my scoli surgeries. After 8 months I had a surgery to have it repaired and my shoulder surgeon wanted me in PT ASAP. After a few weeks of that, I used an arm bike where you pedal with your arms. The weird muscle feelings in my upper back after surgery and the muscles laying over the screw heads had to be toughened up and this machine worked great at this. You can use soup cans to emulate this motion. I would do it forward and reverse in 10 inch circles, I did this everyday for around 6 months.
You can see how I pushed past the pain. Its an exercise in adaptability that we are so good at. Think about the things you can do on a physical level and you will see that its worth the effort. Daily exercise is very important.....not only for the body but for the mind. Remember to stay positive in all that you do even when things are hard or seem hard.....
These surgeries take years to recover from....and you will recover and do just fine.
Hang in there

Interni Magazine
About Interni MagazineThere is quite the trend nowadays towards having English translations and texts in the back of publications from the likes of France, Italy and Germany, and it is something we are rather grateful for. We have to admit, our Italian isn't up to scratch (quattro birre per favour being about the limit), so we are happy to not miss out on this excellent publication. Interni comes from Italy, and that means that it is pretty much by default going to be incredibly stylish and modern in what it features. We don't quite know what it is about Italy, perhaps the food, the lifestyle or maybe even something genetic, but they are quite incapable of designing something unappealing. Think of the classic architecture, roman viaducts, coliseums, the renaissance. Let us not forget that today's leading fashion houses are almost exclusively Italian (okay, perhaps with a fair amount of French in there. Interni is elegant, stylish, informative, authoritative and well put together, which we think means it merits a place on any designer's desk as a reference point to exactly what's going on and what's fashionable in the world of design.

Ugg boots, beret, cute sweater and skinny jeans. I would wear a sweater that covers my butt. Hoped I help! <3
- Response by jayparklova, A Sports Star, Girl, 17, Student
A big fluffy cable-knit sweater and a pair of comfy jeggings or leggings with cute ankles boots. You can jazz it up with like a nice necklace and bag but since you'll be in a dark room, you shouldn't stress about accessories. All you gotta do is get nice and cozy lol have fun on your date!
- Response by love 2 shop, A Trendsetter, Girl, 17, Who Cares?
A fitted black sweater with skinny jeans and ankle length black boots. Should show off your figure, but doesn't look too skanky. Also, try and get a colorful necklace to brighten up the black sweater. Good luck!
- Response by tarav1, A Flirt, Girl, 16, Singapore, Student

- Exploring Amsterdam's canals where you'll find hundreds of colourful house boats bobbing on the water
Dutch Design Hotel Artemis
Amsterdam, Holland
A design hotel located close to the centre of Amsterdam with breakfast included
Dutch Design Hotel Artemis is a slightly alternative choice for a stay in Amsterdam. Boasting bold, modern interiors and a stash of contemporary artworks, this suburban retreat is a cocoon of cool in a mellow part of the city.
This design hotel not only looks striking, but it's really easy to get to. Located in Amsterdam-West, in the district of Slotervaart, it's in a great place to stock up on art and culture and kick back, away from the bustle of central Amsterdam. Getting into town takes around 20 minutes by public transport and it's only nine kilometres to the airport.
Good to know
City tax of 5.5% is not included and is payable at the hotel.

- Hebrews 3:3
"Librarians have been suggesting books to patrons for literally forever, mostly during actual face-to-face conversations," Jessica Leber states. Can math model do it better, and more importantly, do we want it to?
Brooklyn's public library set up a title recommendation service in which their librarians would read your submission and respond with appropriate books. It took a while at first.
"Wait time aside," Leber says, "when I received my own response two weeks later, I had in hand not five, but six well thought out suggestions of literary science fiction novels I might enjoy (as per my request), all from authors I'd never read before. I felt really good about the list--not because I've actually read the six books yet, but by simply knowing there was a human being involved in creating it. The titles genuinely all seemed like books I might read, and Emily Heath, the librarian who fulfilled my request, had even placed a card catalogue-linked list in my online library account so I could more easily find and borrow them."
The human element is part of what David Swartz misses in bookless libraries. When everything is digital and can only be found through search requests, you may be able to find what you're looking for but not be able to stumble across the extra information you need. (via Prufrock)
Shut off your devices and read a while. "Slow readers list numerous benefits to a regular reading habit, saying it improves their ability to concentrate, reduces stress levels and deepens their ability to think, listen and empathize." (via Loren Eaton)
For something of a contrast, here's a brief article from a subway photographer. "If I worked from inside the subway car instead of from the platform, I discovered, I could come closer to my subjects, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intimate relationship between reader and book. While shooting Wall Street Stop, however, I found that the printed book was rapidly losing ground to iPhones, tablets, and e-readers."
The Herald of Scotland is culling a list of the 100 best Scottish novels from their readers. They have 30 so far, including The Death of Men by Allan Massie, The House with the Green Shutters by George Douglas Brown, and The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott.
Readers might take this recent list of crime fiction into consideration. They say Scotland can have an sobering, perhaps despairing, effect on people. Writer Helen Fitzgerald appears to disagree.
"My mum said 20 years living in the grey, murder capital of Western Europe, has made me write about darkness, despair, and deviance. She suggested I come home to Australia to write something with hope and joy in it. Taking her advice, I headed downunder in December, sat at an outside table in a cheerful, sunny beach-side cafe, and started writing. The story I started writing is about a dysfunctional Australian couple who accidentally overdose, kill and bury their baby whilst a raging bushfire burns folk to a crisp in the distance. Sorry Mum, it's not Glasgow. It's me."
"(And whatever is placed in active and direct Oppugnancy to the Good is, ipso facto, positive Evil.)" Patrick Kurp ties this line by Coleridge to this line by Waugh: "Civilization has no force of its own beyond what is given it from within."
J. Mark Bertrand echoes another reader of the ESV Reader's Bible in finding he reads more in this edition than in other editions. Readability, he says, is a thing, and it influences how we read. "Yet, like Steve, I've found myself getting sucked into the reader, coming up for air much later than expected."
Last month, I linked to a story on a 9-year-old boy who had his "little free library" taken down by his city government. Yesterday he appealed to the Leawood, Kansas, city council and won a temporary moratorium on these structures. The council will take up a permanent resolution this fall.
But all was not good in the hood, according to The Daily Signal. "Why do we pay taxes for libraries and have those boxes on the street?" asked one attendee. Another member claimed the little libraries were eyesores and argued, "You will destroy Leawood if you destroy our codes and bylaws."
One must ask how many towns across America will be destroyed before the freedom to read will be abolished. One can only hope that citizen will vandalize the boy's little library in the name of John Adams, George Washington, and all of our great forefathers who looked upon their children with books in hand and said, "Not today, son. That's not what this country is about."
Author Sarah Perry was "raised by Strict Baptists" in Essex and not allowed to watch movies or read contemporary books. The result? "I turned my back on modernity and lost myself to Hardy and Dickens, Brontë and Austen, Shakespeare, Eliot and Bunyan. I memorised Tennyson, and read Homer in prose and Dante in verse; I shed half my childhood tears at The Mill on the Floss. I slept with Sherlock Holmes beside my pillow, and lay behind the sofa reading Roget. It was as though publication a century before made a book suitable – never was I told I ought not to read this or that until I was older. To my teacher's horror my father gave me Tess of the D'Urbervilles when I was still at primary school, and I was simply left to wander from Thornfield to Agincourt to the tent of sulking Achilles, making my own way."
And she soaked in the King James Bible. Her debut novel, After Me Comes the Flood, is reviewed here. (via Prufrock)
Philip Christman has ranked and encapsulated (sort of) 22 works by Muriel Spark. He says, The Hothouse by the East River comes off like overripe fruit. For Robinson and The Bachelors, he says "Spark was pretty much kicking ass right out of the gate; these are 'the worst' of her early novels, and yet they would have represented a quite respectable peak for anyone else."
The Girls of Slender Means Christman considers Spark's best. Have you read any of these works? What do you think of them? (via John Wilson)
"Francis Schaeffer was asked what he'd do if he had an hour to share the gospel with someone. He responded by saying he'd listen for 55 minutes and then, in the last 5 minutes, have something meaningful to say. In other words, he listened in order to speak the gospel.
Our evangelism is often unbelievable because we don't listen at all. All too often the gospel we share is an information download, not a loving articulation of how the good news fits into the needs, fears, hopes, and dreams of others' lives."
-- Jonathan Dodson, Unbelievable Gospel: How to Share a Gospel Worth Believing.
Austin Kleon writes, "We all love things that other people think are garbage. You have to have the courage to keep loving your garbage..." He says this because someone out there is telling us we should be embarrassed to read certain things. Kleon points to Alan Jacobs' twitter feed for some good points on reading what you like. There's also this.
John Piper has a new plan to teach people to understand the Bible on their own. He's calling it "Look at the Book," and at first blush it looks to be inductive Bible study, something Precept Ministries and Bryan College have done for years. Not that it isn't worth doing again by other people. I'm just making the connection.
N.D. Wilson writes about "dark-tinted, truth-filled reading" for children: "I would understand if hard-bitten secularists were the ones feeding narrative meringue to their children with false enthusiasm. They believe their kids will eventually grow up and realize how terrible, grinding, and meaningless reality really is. Oh, well—might as well swaddle children in Santa Clausian delusions while they're still dumb enough to believe them. But a Christian parent should always be looking to serve up truth. The question is one of dosage."
He says Christians should be protecting their children, but not over-sheltering them from the real painful world. Christian kids need "stories in which murderers are blinded on donkeys and become heroes. Stories with dens of lions and fiery furnaces and lone prophets laughing at kings and priests and demons. Stories with heads on platters. Stories with courage and crosses and redemption. Stories with resurrections. And resurrections require deaths."
Julie Silander has begun a list of such reading on StoryWarren.
"If men read fewer books on manhood and more really good stories they'd be much better for it," Barnabas Piper tweeted sometime last year. He fleshes out his reasoning in this post, saying stories make you want to be better, show you role models and anti-heroes, and get under the surface. If it's true, he says, that we learn more by what we catch than what we are taught, then good stories are the places where we will catch what we want to learn.
One of our friends, Nick Harrison of Harvest House, asks on his Facebook wall:
"What can we all do to boost men's fiction? What authors do the men you know read? What are their complaints about the state of men's fiction (if they have any complaints)? I'd especially like to hear from male readers, but all who can offer some insight are welcome to respond."
So what do you think? Don't confine your answer to Christian books. What fiction do you or the men you know read? Answers from the original post include Dale Cramer, Athol Dickson, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, John Hart, John Lescroart, and Lee Child. I mentioned names you've seen here, like Bertrand, N.D. Wilson, and Andrew Peterson.
BIG UPDATE in the comments below.
Last year, Digital Book World asked its Twitter crowd, "Do you read on your smartphone? Do you read on other devices, too?" They got 30 answers. About half said they read on multiple devices; the other half said they don't read long works on their phones.
Now, 56% of Americans have smartphones, which are also called pocket reading devices. Some companies are marketing ebooks only to their pocket readers, like the Samsung Galaxy S4.
With some many mobile devices like this, publishers should consider them first when designing ebooks and ebook marketplaces.
C. S. Lewis wrote somewhere that for modern souls, the acquisition of new appliances, vehicles, and entertainment devices constituted "the very stages of their pilgrimage." I bear that in mind as I announce my acquisition of a Kindle HD.
As you know if you've been following this blog, I've had a Kindle Keyboard (the generous gift of no less a figure than the learned Dr. Hunter Baker) for some years now, and have fallen wholly under its sway. I like its ergonomics, its lightness, and the opportunity, when I need a new book, to satisfy my jones in about a minute. I treasure my Kindle Keyboard, and have no plans to abandon it. In the single day I've owned my Fire, I've tried reading on it, and it's fine. I'm sure I could transition to it as a regular reading device without trouble. But the battery on my old Kindle lasts longer, and the essential reading's equally good.
The Kindle Fire HD is a genuine tablet, albeit a low-end, entry-level one. The first thing that impressed me was the graphics. What I see on my device doesn't have the definition of the more expensive Kindles, but nevertheless it amazed me. I got a free month of Amazon Prime with my purchase, and I downloaded an episode of "Justified." I was highly impressed with the speed and picture quality (though downloading YouTube videos can be annoyingly slow and page loading can be poky). Also impressive was the Dolby sound, which is amazingly good for such a small device.
I'm still learning to navigate on the thing, and experiencing the normal old dog's problems. I like the way you can move around and zoom in on the screen with a finger swipe, and I think the whole thing will become pretty instinctive before long. For someone who's always worked with Windows, the whole "Mojito" operating system involves a little techno-shock, but like all systems it makes its own kind of sense. The virtual keyboard is OK; it confounded me for a while but I think I'm catching on.
The main reason for the low price of this Kindle is that it doesn't have either a camera or a microphone, so the buyer should be aware of that. I bought mine because I wanted more flexibility in accessing the web. I think I'll even be able to do some of my graduate course work through it; at least that is my hope.
This is a preliminary evaluation. I'll let you know if I change my mind about anything.
Author Neil Gaiman notes that the prison system is big business. How can they predict jail cell growth? "[U]sing a pretty simple algorithm," Gaiman said, "based on asking what percentage of 10 and 11-year-olds couldn't read." Not that all illiterate people are criminals or all literate people are not, but the relationship between being unable to read and crime is strong. Sixty percent of America's prison inmates are illiterate; 85% of all juvenile offenders have reading problems, according to the U.S. Dept. of Education.
Gaiman said he went to China for the first sci-fi convention ever approved by the Communist establishment. He asked an official why this was finally approved. The official replied that the Chinese had no imagination for invention, so they asked the likes of Google, Apple, and others who were inventing new technology. These people were readers of science fiction and fantasy.
"Fiction can show you a different world," he said. "It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in."
Today, just a snippet from an article in the current issue of Intercollegiate Review – "The Subhumanities: The Reductive Violence of Race, Class, and Gender Theory," by Anthony Esolen:
So much of human life, says [Marilynne] Robinson in her new book of essays, When I Was a Child I Read Books, is blessed "nonsense," not overmuch concerned with survival or whatever else preoccupies the reductivists of our time. It is like the folly of God, as Erasmus reminds us, thinking of the mighty words of Saint Paul, who declares that all the wisdom of the world cannot overcome the foolishness of the Cross, which is of course the foolishness of love.

Over at the American Spectator (which seems to have rejected my last submission, but hey, I'm not bitter) Matthew Walther writes about his recent experience at the American Library Association convention in Chicago, where he particularly wanted to talk to people about the increasing trend of libraries dumping perfectly good books because electronic versions are now available.
WHICH REMINDS ME: At this gathering of a few thousand librarians, teachers, writers, publishing types, I saw surprisingly little evidence of reading taking place. With two or three exceptions—elderly women whose badges told me that they are librarians from Indiana—the only printed text I saw anyone interact with was the 308-page full-color conference guide. This also brings me to why I was there. I was trying, am in fact still trying, to understand why, with little or no visible resistance or even comment from patrons, library friends' societies (local charities that raise funds for libraries and organize things like book signings and reading groups), school boards, members of university faculties, elected officials at the local, state, and federal government level—to say nothing of the national press—thousands of public and academic libraries across the country are all but throwing away millions of books, many of them rare, expensive, or both. Three years ago the Engineering Library at Stanford University was home to more than 80,000 volumes; it now houses fewer than 10,000….
The American Library Association is an organization which looms large in my consciousness these days. Everyone in my Library and Information Sciences class talks about it in terms of "us," though I have no plans or need ever to join, and it's not a requirement for the program. Mr. Walther makes no comment on the reflexive progressivism which I perceive in it, based on classroom discussions. His concern is simply to question whether libraries without physical books can really be considered libraries at all (I read the other day that a library in Texas has gone precisely that route). He seems a little Luddite about the Kindle, but at least he gave his a fair try. My own devotion to paper and ink survived my first experience by about 20 seconds. (That's not to say I want to jettison my own personal books, whose name is Legion, or those I husband at work.)
I spoke with a former academic librarian yesterday, and his opinion was more pessimistic even than Walther's. Once the digitizers solve the problem of copyright for more recent works (he said) libraries will simply cease to exist. They will go away. They will be made redundant. He's studying Theology now, in order to teach that for a living.
I don't know if he's right. I do think the academic library will survive for a while, if only because accreditation agencies love to set requirements for collection size.
My friend suggested that I join The Association of Christian Librarians, instead of the ALA. I heeded his counsel.
I'm pretty sure I'll need the support. I'm beginning to think I'm working very hard to prepare for the equivalent of a managership at a Barnes & Noble store.

Today in the library I was cataloging a set of books by a friend, Dr. John Eidsmoe – Historical and Theological Foundations of Law. Out of curiosity I checked the second volume to see what he'd written about Viking elements in our English tradition. And behold, he has good things to say. Even better, he mentions me in a footnote.
I've joked about being a scholarly citation before, since Prof. Torgrim Titlestad of the University of Stavanger has mentioned my Erling novels in a couple of his books on the Viking Age. But this is a genuine footnote. In a passage about Erling Skjalgsson he inserts the following note:
…Lars Walker, a friend of this author, has recently published an engrossing and well-researched novel that portrays Erling Skjalgson as a Christian ruler who desires his kingdom to be a free republic under God's law. Lars Walker, West Oversea: A Norse Saga of Mystery, Adventure and Faith (Nordskog, 2009).
He makes a couple small errors, calling Erling a jarl (he seems to think jarl is a generic term like chieftain), and talking about Erling's "kingdom," which was the last thing Erling wanted. Nevertheless, it's nice to be a citation.
I wonder if I can get credit for it in graduate school.
Something tells me the answer is no.
I've been reading Chesterton's Orthodoxy. I'll review it later, as if its reputation depended on me to any extent. But here's a quote:
It is one of the hundred answers to the fugitive perversion of modern "force" that the promptest and boldest agencies are also the most fragile and full of sensibility. The swiftest things are the softest things. A bird is active, because a bird is soft. A stone is helpless, because a stone is hard. The stone must by its own nature go downwards, because hardness is weakness. The bird can of its nature go upwards, because fragility is force. In perfect force there is a kind of frivolity, an airiness that can maintain itself in the air. Modern investigators of miraculous history have solemnly admitted that a characteristic of the great saints is their power of "levitation." They might go further; a characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity. Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.
E. Stephen Burnett picks up on the discussion over comments made regarding the stories told by J. Mark Bertrand ("Russell" to his friends), asking an insightful question: "According to the Bible, what is the 'chief end' of story? Is it evangelism? Gritty realism? Entertainment? Or a higher goal?"
I chafe at the idea of everything we do in the world being evangelism or pre-evangelism, though perhaps it's true. I like to think of life being more multifaceted than that. We delight in God our Father. We make disciples of his people. We fight for justice and work in mercy. What are the themes Jesus addressed in his Sermon on the Mount? Who are the blessed of God, being a life witness, the place of the law, the nature of sin (anger, lust, divorce, promises, retribution), loving one's enemies and neighbors, mercy, prayer and more. Is all of this meant to be seen in the colors of evangelism?
No. A story may witness the glory of God to an unbeliever without having evangelism as its goal, and perhaps that's the answer. Glory. I want to write to magnify God's glory, to color myself and everything I see with it.
Robert Bruce talks about five complaints he has heard about reading over the years, complaints like you can't learn from fiction, reading certain genres aren't really reading, no time to read, and others.
Apparently, schools are not challenging or helping students read at their grade level or better. NPR reports: "Anita Silvey, author of 500 Great Books for Teens, teaches graduate students in a children's literature program, and at the beginning of the class, she asked her students — who grew up in the age of Harry Potter — about the books they like.
'Every single person in the class said, "I don't like realism, I don't like historical fiction. What I like is fantasy, science fiction, horror and fairy tales." '
... But in 1989, high school students were being assigned works by Sophocles, Shakespeare, Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, Emily Bronte and Edith Wharton."
That's what my kids will be reading. I plan to help my 9th grader through the Epic of Gilgamesh next fall, for starters.
In related news, young adult novels are finding a lot of adult readers, because they find it interesting and sophisticated. One author says, "Teenagers are more willing to let you genre bend. For them, it's all about telling an honest story. You're writing for really smart, really savvy readers."
And who doesn't love an honest story?
Sometimes good literature can make your life better, in more than the pleasure-giving sense.
Take Mark Helprin's In Sunlight and in Shadow, which I reviewed the other day.
Harry, the hero, is haunted by his experiences as an airborne ranger in World War II. There's a particular scene where he tells his fiancée about one incident he can't get out of his head. "There was nothing I could do," he says. "But I feel responsible."
That, friends, is The Song of My People – my people being trauma victims of various sorts. Due to circumstances of a very different kind, I too am haunted – bedeviled – by memories. Memories of bad things that happened – often things I did that I'm ashamed of – that just won't lie down and die.
It's comforting to me to tell myself, "Think about Harry, and people like him. Whatever you've done, it didn't involve anybody dying."'
This doesn't mean my flashbacks are going to disappear. My Complex PTSD (not actually a disorder currently recognized by the professionals) is, I know very well, capable of infinite adaptation.
But for now it helps. Thank you, Mark Helprin.
Five books recommended by artist Makoto Fujimura. "Literature that reveals what art and beauty ought to be."
Roberto Estreitinho writes about reading. "If by page 30 of a book I'm not hooked, I stop reading," he says, and if it's a long book he begins to have doubts about, he skips to the end. "If it's worthy of understanding how the author got there, read it all. If not, congratulations. You just avoided wasting time." (via 99u)
On that note, The Unofficial #TGC13 Discount E-Book Store is open with many discounted eBooks from the authors at The Gospel Coalition Conference in Orlando this week.
I'm feeling a bit better now, thanks for asking, having seen a doctor last week and gotten antibiotics and a steroid for my lungs. But a day at work still wipes me out, and I've got stuff I need to get done tonight. So, in lieu of the hard work of thinking out a blog post, I'll just post another short excerpt from Williams' Through Norway With a Knapsack, last night's subject.
In this episode, our hero has gotten lost and spent a long day on the mountains, finally finding a guest house late at night, exhausted.
On awakening, I found a stout gentleman sitting at my bedside. He was the pastor of Lom. A Norwegian pastor is not merely a preacher; he is clergy-man, physician, magistrate, arbitrator, and general friend and father, to whom all his scattered parishioners appeal. In a country where there are none but peasant farmers – no aristocracy, no gentry, no towns and villages, no shopkeepers, no professional class – a highly educated man must be strangely isolated, and, unless endowed with the true spirit of Christian benevolence, must be one of the most miserable of men; but, if suited to his work, he may be one of the happiest, for his opportunities of doing unmistakable good, and of witnessing the full fruits of his good deeds, are almost unlimited. Most of these Norwegian pastors are, I believe, excellent men, and render great services to the people around.
In the present instance, the paternal relations of the good pastor of Lom were illustrated in my case, for he sat at my bedside, where he had evidently been watching for some time, as though he feared that some fever or other ailment might result from the over-exertion, excitement and fasting….
Today I was reminded, for some reason, of my first introduction to The Lord of the Rings. The image above is the same edition I got, back around 1966 (the publication page says that was the year of the printing). I would have been about 16 years old at the time. The trilogy was offered by Scholastic Books, a major force in my life in those days. There was no bookstore within practical distance of my home. I had never been in a bookstore in my life – bookstores were distant Rivendell to me. So those periodic (Monthly? Quarterly? I don't remember) Scholastic catalogs were to me what the wandering peddler was to my ancestors.
I'd never heard of The Lord of the Rings or Tolkien in my life (I knew C. S. Lewis, but had no "inkling" of his friendship with Tolkien). The catalog descriptions were intriguing. But the books cost ninety-five cents apiece – more than three bucks for the trilogy with postage figured in. That was not the kind of money I spent casually in those days. Fortunately I mentioned the books to my brother, and he was interested too. So we went in together. The only drawback was that he demanded first dibs. I had to wait for him to finish The Fellowship of the Ring before I got my chance at it. I chafed as he worked through the long book, saying things like, "This is really good. You'll like this a lot."
At last I got my turn and opened the pages onto a whole new world. It was better than I hoped (Lewis himself described it as "good beyond hope") and gave me satisfactions I'd never known a book could offer.
I still have all three books in those original editions. They're not actually falling apart (I've always been pretty gentle with my books), but they're so battered that I replaced them with a new set a few years back, for actual reading. These copies are personal relics. When I touch them as I do now (the Fellowship is at my elbow as I write) it brings me back to a moment in my life when new possibilities opened up. And believe me, I needed new possibilities just then.

For Husker Fans, Life on the Road Never Dull
Tom Osborne gets an escort to receive a set of golf clubs from Northwestern.
By Randy York
It's Saturday morning, nearly five hours before Nebraska and Northwestern kick it off in Evanston. Having stayed at the same hotel where the Northwestern team was taking a nap, four lifelong Big Red fans decide to have breakfast in nearby Deerfield, Ill. KP's, a.k.a. Kevin's Place, is everything it's advertised to be – inviting, exciting and filled with warm food, warm smiles and a warm atmosphere.
Some have wiggled their way onto a long row of bar stools inside the front door. Others have retreated to pack the back dining room where Kevin is as entertaining as he is efficient. A one-time Off-Broadway performer, he runs his own place, taking orders, giving orders, directing traffic, playing traffic cop, hugging every kid and kidding everyone working for him. Within a minute of us sitting down, he comes over and camps out. You have no idea he's the owner and the proprietor of the place because he's Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Larry the Cable Guy all rolled into one.
Kevin makes us laugh, and he makes us hungry when he describes, in his own inimitable way, why his place is as good as it gets in Chicago, and the product matches the promotion. The food was great; the entertainment was greater. Kevin is the first waiter we've ever seen burst into a Broadway song before he describes the classic breakfasts in a classic restaurant. The minute Kevin vanished back into the kitchen, two longtime sportswriters and their wives look at each, burst into another round of laughs and decide that his entire performance must be rooted in the Nebraska red we all four are wearing.
But before we can discuss that basic observation, a man wearing a black jacket walks to our table from the back of the room with his wife. "You guys live in Lincoln?" he asks. "We live in Lincoln; they live in Omaha," I reply, pointing to former Omaha World-Herald sports editor Steve Sinclair and his wife, Kathy.
Penn State Fullback Became a Chicago Bear
"I played at Penn State," he said. "We played one game in Lincoln, in 1979, and your team just killed us," he said, remembering how the Nittany Lions led the Huskers, 14-0, at the end of the first quarter before losing, 42-17.
"I'll never forget that game," added our unknown new friend. "We had a young Curt Warner, but you had Jarvis Redwine, I.M. Hipp and another guy, but I can't remember his name. After that first quarter, we could barely make a yard, and we couldn't stop Nebraska the last three quarters. The game got out of hand."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a light goes off in Steve's head. "You wouldn't be Matt Suhey, would you?" Steve asks.
"Yeh," he said. "Do I know you?"
"No, but Randy and I were sportswriters back then," Sinclair answered. "Plus, I'm a big Chicago Bears' fan, so I recognize you now that I know you played at Penn State. I watch just about every Bears' game that's been on television."
Later, I find out that Suhey played 10 seasons for the Bears as a fullback/running back. He was the lead blocker, a close friend and the executor for his late teammate, the legendary Walter Payton. Steve checks his smart phone to confirm that Suhey did indeed score a touchdown in the Bears' 1986 Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots.
Jarvis Redwine's Name Still Rings in his Head
We all agree it's a small world, after all. Meet a Nittany Lion and a Chicago Bear legend, and he wants to talk about Redwine, a walk-on, who, incidentally, rushed for 124 yards against Penn State that day. We also figure out later that the other Husker back Suhey could not remember was the late Andra Franklin, who rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown against Penn State before eventually going on to play in the NFL himself. Hipp had just 50 yards rushing on a few carries, proving that even Penn State players never forget a name like I.M. Hipp.
Nebraska held Warner to 19 yards rushing and Suhey to 14 yards rushing. Even though Penn State was a Top 20 team, the Blackshirts held the Nittany Lions to 60 yards rushing on 35 carries. Nebraska rushed for 298 yards, and Tim Hager passed for another 232 yards. Nebraska All-America tight end Junior Miller had two touchdown catches in the second quarter, including one of 70 yards.
It's one thing to turn the clock back with players on the winning side. But it's an absolute shock to hear a 54-year-old icon from our designated Big Ten cross-division rival show his respect from a lopsided loss in Lincoln 33 years ago. It's just more proof that life is never dull when you follow Nebraska football on the road, and that's particularly true in what could become Nebraska's favorite road trip – Chicago. The Suhey story isn't the only one in our rear-view mirror of a memorable weekend. Here are five more:
1) Staying at a hotel long on service, but short on full-fledged loyalty, one hotel employee greeted guests wearing a purple Northwestern Wildcat shirt, but by the second day, he was willing to look both ways and when the coast was clear, he revealed a red Nebraska shirt underneath, a shirt that he claimed was closer to his heart. "I'm from Omaha," he said. "Once a Husker, always a Husker!"
2) At a tailgate next to Ryan Stadium, we meet an acquaintance of Tom Ricketts, who was born and raised in Nebraska, but since 1983 has lived in the Windy City, where the University of Chicago graduate is chairman of the Chicago Cubs. When I tell this gentleman the hotel story, he acknowledges that the powerful Ricketts has done the same thing – wear purple over red at a stadium located just three blocks from his home. "Deep down, he's a Husker," the man says of Ricketts. "But he loves the direction that Northwestern is going."
3) Speaking of the neighborhood, Northwestern Athletic Director Jim Phillips lives in the shadow of Ryan Field as well, and he did a very classy thing Saturday – honor Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne for being a Hall-of-Fame coach and a Big Ten Conference icon. Fans from both league teams applauded while Phillips presented Osborne with a new set of golf clubs. Asked Monday how long it's been since he's played golf, Osborne told me "three years" and I was more than surprised. Asked how often he might play golf after he officially retires next summer, Osborne seemed more measured. "I don't know," he told me. "But whatever I play will have to be between fishing trips."
4) Last Friday morning, Andy Schadwinkel of UNL's University Communications staff sent me a text explaining how American gangster Al Capone went to the Nebraska-Northwestern football game shortly before going to prison. Click both links in this paragraph, and you'll find rather fascinating reading about the man who led a Prohibition-era crime syndicate in Chicago and how he handled the jeers of the last Nebraska-Northwestern football game played in Evanston until last weekend. What was even more fascinating was walking six miles on Michigan Avenue in Downtown Chicago that same afternoon and spotting Capone-related memorabilia in three different open-air stores within two blocks of each other. One store had bobble-head figures of the gangster I kept track of on the TV series The Untouchables. Another store had tee-shirts featuring Scarface himself, and a third store was selling a book that chronicled Capone's generosity to charities and Chicago's less fortunate. "He was a 1920's version of Robin Hood," one store employee told me. "Do you think he was a hero?" I asked incredulously. "Not a hero," the employee replied. "But he was definitely a legend … that's why so many people buy so much stuff with Al Capone on it. It's conversational."
5) We end with self-deprecating humor. Friday night, waiting for the train to take us back to our hotel in Northbrook, we see four Husker fans wearing their red-and-white bib overalls in the same waiting area we are. We saw hundreds of Big Red fans in Downtown Chicago last Friday. They were everywhere, but those four tired guys at Union Station were the only ones we saw in bib overalls. Still, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist couldn't resist going for the cheap slam. "The east and south stands at Ryan Field were filled with red-clad Cornhusker fans," he wrote in Sunday's editions. "You would have thought there was a bib-overall giveaway promotion."
A Vintage Shirt with a Grandfather's Number
Fashion, of course, is always in the eye of the beholder. We walked out of a sold-out stadium behind a Husker fan wearing the most classic white long-sleeved, wool-fabric, home-made shirt with a red "N" I've ever seen. "This is what the 'N' looked like in the late 1920s," he told me, adding that he wears the shirt to honor his grandfather, who played football at Nebraska in 1926 and '27.
"What was his name?" I ask.
"Robert Whitmore," he said.
"Was he No. 24?" I ask, noticing the number on his back.
"Yep," he said, stretching his neck backwards just to make sure. "He was No. 24."
"Where was he from?" I ask.
"Mitchell and then Scottsbluff," he said.
I lost the proud grandson in a shuffle while exiting the stadium to the celebrations outside. I checked out his facts, though, and sure enough, Robert Whitmore was a 185-pound guard from Scottsbluff, Neb., and he lettered two years.
The Last Game Scarface Capone Ever Saw
At the time, I didn't think about it, but just four years after Whitmore's last season at Nebraska, Al Capone watched Northwestern beat the Huskers, 19-7, in the same stadium that enabled Ben Cotton to become a front-page, full-color star-of-the-day for the top half of Sunday's Chicago Tribune sports section.
Talk about an unusual memoir in a prelude to an historic Nebraska-Michigan match-up that hasn't happened in Lincoln in 101 years – 12 years before Memorial Stadium was even built.
I am taken aback that there were only 7,000 more fans inside Ryan Stadium last Saturday when Cotton made his game-winning catch in the South end zone than there were when "Scarface" Capone and several henchmen exited the same stadium 81 years earlier. Three days after that 1931 game, Capone went on trial for income tax violations, then went to prison to serve a life sentence.
Northwestern-Nebraska was the last football game that Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone ever saw. And here's wishing that Eliot Ness, the legendary FBI agent played by Robert Stack on TV and then Kevin Costner in a modern-day movie, was at that same game. I mean, wouldn't the good guy who brought Capone to justice keep an eye on him three days before the trial that took him down?
Ness was probably nowhere close to the Northwestern stadium on that particular day, but in my mind, he had to be there, incognito, just to make sure that Scarface never would see daylight again.
That NU vs. NU game probably marked Capone's last true sense of comfort, even if he did get booed publicly one final time in a city that never will forget him.

For nearly a week, while a volcano in Iceland grounded flights throughout Europe, at least one local company felt an impact of the volcanic ash cloud that affected some 7 million air travelers.
And it's being affected on a third continent, Australia.
Buffalo-based Delaware North Cos. Inc. operates multiple restaurants and other operations in Sydney Airport.
Company spokesman Glen White said restaurants and operations have dipped an estimated 10 percent to 15 percent at Sydney Airport. He did not disclose dollar figures. "The impact on our overall operation hasn't been as significant because we only have a few restaurants in airports in Europe," he said.
The Web site for Tasmanian newspaper The Examiner said Qantas canceled flights to Europe and Singapore Airlines advised passengers scheduled to take flights leaving Sydney for closed airports in Europe not to go to Sydney Airport.
Delaware North also has operations in London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as at an airport in Edinburgh, Scotland.
"Much of our operations at UK restaurants were closed for several days," White said. "At Heathrow, we were hoping to re-start operations today at Dining Street Restaurant."
Dining Street opened last October and offers a traditional British menu.
CNN reported April 20 that Heathrow Airport had been closed early in the week due to the ash from Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland's erupting volcano, which was blowing toward Britain and keeping planes on the ground.
Delaware North is the region's second-largest private company, reporting 2008 revenues of $2.2 billion.

Here is the answer that I obtained after that I have written to the technical support :
I have found the ideal solution and it is free, When uploading any files you allways have the potential duplicate problems The solution is to go on to the Mormon Church Family History Website and download their Geaniology software prograhm. This prograhm has the facilities to tell you what duplicates are in your data and allows you to correct the problem. Set up a file and export your gedcom data to this file. Then download it to your new Prograhm that you have just downloaded. When you have completed the merging of duplicates just do the transfer in reverse and transfer the sorted data back new updated family tree site into your Hertitage or other soltware prograhm. I do this excercise regularly as it keeps your research nice and clean.
This is much easier to clear up your duplicates than trying to do it manually. The problem with doing it manually is that it is impossible to find all your duplicates especially if you have a large tree.
Good Luck wi8th your research
Yo tampoco puedo editar mi árbol desde internet. Tengo windows vista.
Si alguien puede instruirme sobre la forma de hacerlo estaré agradecido.
Espero sus respuestas, muchas gracias
Un cordial saludo
Hola Gustavo es muy facil, ve a :
Star o incio en tu pc / Panel control/Agregar o remover programa
y vas a buscar MyHeritage Family Tree Builder , cuando lo encuentres le das
a la tecla de remover y listo
sale de tu computer o PC
Bob Taggart
Just updated my data. I simply imported the new GEDCOM, then open the family tree. When the window opens you will see at the top right corner of the tree window (which family tree to open) use the arrow to show all your trees then select which one to open.
Make sure you name the new GEDCOM slightly different than the older one.
To delete the older data press the Family tree button then click on summary , that will open your list. Down the right side under Actions click the option delete.
Hope this helps

Sax n' Art
One of our favourites
What we say:
With a smooth, laidback atmosphere and easy listening, there may be no better spot in Saigon to relax than Sax n' Art.
If you're a fan of jazz music, there is really no other spot in town to get your fix. From 21:00 to midnight the owner, Tran Manh Tuan, plays jazz saxophone with his house band and occasional international musical guests.
There isn't a bad seat in the house to listen to the performance but the best seats are on the second-floor balcony.
The good music is accompanied by rather high drink prices, but this is a small price to pay considering there is no cover.

Topics: Hospitals, Marketplace, States
Nov 29, 2012
Details on how hospitals around the nation are making deals, and getting fined, graded or taxed in this roundup.
Los Angeles Times: Prime Healthcare Services Is Fined $95,000 In Privacy Case
State officials have fined hospital chain Prime Healthcare Services Inc. $95,000 for violating patient confidentiality by sharing a woman's medical files with journalists and sending an email about her treatment to 785 hospital employees. The California Department of Public Health levied the fine this month after determining in May that Shasta Regional Medical Center in Redding had five deficiencies related to the unauthorized disclosure of medical information on a diabetes patient treated there in 2010 (Terhune, 11/29).
The Lund Report: State Officials Insist Hospitals Not Overpaid Under Provider Tax
Poor Oregonians will receive an extra $2.033 billion in health care from mid-2011 through mid-2013, according to the latest estimates of the impact of a state tax on hospitals. Yet even many within the industry still don't understand the state's so-called provider tax, according to Judy Mohr-Peterson, director of medical assistance programs with the Oregon Health Authority. Hospitals will pay $685 million by the end of the current two-year fiscal biennium, Mohr-Peterson said. The Oregon Health Plan must use that money to pay for medical care at those hospitals, and to qualify for roughly $1.4 billion in federal reimbursement for OHP care. But there's no guarantee that any specific hospital will get back as much in reimbursements as it pays in taxes (Sherwood, 11/29).
Georgia Health News: 'A' Through 'F': Group Rates Georgia Hospitals
Eleven Georgia hospitals rated an "A"' grade on patient safety in an updated report card released Wednesday by the Leapfrog Group. The Washington-based nonprofit organization's ratings come five months after its first scorecard, and reflect more current data and some adjustments in methodology.
