There are some things that we see far less often in today's society then what we used to see and every now then when I see something with strong values as history shows we had it makes you realize that we weren't always like this. It was this past week that I driving my Cadillac DTS and while in traffic I get a strong fuel smell coming up into the car so I get home and research the issue and sure enough it is a fuel rail which I will fix but at the same time I felt it was time for a change of car anyways. In any event, I narrow down what I want and decide on another big American classic, the last of them I might add. Call me sentimental but I just have a thing for American luxury with V8's.
I call a guy I know in the South Florida area that deals with those and sure enough he has what I want and will wholesale it to me. I ask him a few questions and get the guys name that owned and bought it new. I did some research and was happy to see the guy was an older family man of faith and took the car in at every chance to have it maintained perfectly. I called my guy in South Florida, have him arrange transport for that evening and it's a done deal. The transporter calls me and tells me around midnight to be at the auction to pick it up. I wait and he arrives at 1am, I was pleasantly surprised as the car appears like new and seems just as the wholesaler told me. One small thing I notice is a sticker on the back which is very unusual, especially the fact it is right in the middle of the back it says "I love my wife" I thought how rare is that, this guy must really love his wife. I know allot of people really love their wives but it is rare to see someone advertise it so loudly in this day and age. My only thought was that this was his anti feminist, anti new agenda rant, basically telling them fuck you, i'll keep my nuclear family.
Who deserves an I love my wife sticker like this?
I immediately thought about several things. First off aside from thinking how awesome it was that couples still exist that have a deep ever lasting love for one another and the ability to do such a thing. Secondly I thought how many Colombian girlfriends or fiances I had were actually worthy of this type of sticker. At the time did they seem worthy, absolutely yes, but in reality were they worthy? Not a chance. In fact I thought about how it would be to turn the table around and how many of those exes would put and advertise so loudly a sticker that said I love my husband and the answer would be a clear no, not one. If you haven't learned by now, they always leave that door wide open all the way up to when they secure a new man.
It's strange that even the one girl that you think is that one that would gladly advertise with a sticker such as that, would in reality dump you like a piece of shit upon someone else coming around. It just doesn't seem like true love, it seems more like a disposable type of infatuation that is great in the beginning but when some unseen circumstances arise or pure selfishness enters the building the guy that would put this sticker is just dumped and dumbfounded. Two to three weeks later, you will find her with her new compulsive so called love on the social media. She may even look for you and tell you right to your face that she is now with someone else and basically fuck you for no solid reason. Truth is upon request she may be willing to spend some alone time with you on your next flight over still, but really who want's that? Do you really want to waste even a minute with a girl that is getting banged every night with someone else that she "loves" now. No thanks.
Does true love really exist or can be found anymore?
So the time has come you ask her for marriage and she accepts immediately. Did you ever think to yourself she may not feel that same love you do? Could this be a simple "marriage experience" or is it really true love that will really last forever? Will the promise at the alter be broken? Will she take the advice of family members to leave you for someone local? They might be a hot commodity and making the decision to leave you alone might not be as hard as you thinking how whacked it would be to leave her alone.
Bottom line is that despite all the agendas going on, despite the outright war against family and values, despite lawyers pushing women to make that cash from a divorce on media daily I am convinced true love does still exist and stickers like this are a confirmation that it really does.

By Amy Cherry 4:29pm, August 4, 2014 - Updated 4:29pm, August 4, 2014A code orange has been issued for northern Delaware Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to be in the nineties with the air hot and humid along the I-95 corridor from Delaware to Washington, D.C.
That means air quality in will be poor, possibly making it difficult to breathe for the elderly, children and those suffering from asthma.
DNREC says thunderstorms Wednesday mean the Code Orange shouldn't stretch into a second day.

Chinook salmon fishing continues to be good in 150 to 300 feet of water with flashers & flies or spoons working. Brown trout fishing continues to be fair with the early morning being the most productive in 40 to 100 feet of water. A few Atlantic salmon are also being taken mixed in with the browns.
Some walleye are still being taken in the harbor area on large stickbaits. Sheephead (freshwater drum) are hitting crayfish and catfish are hitting nightcrawlers and cut-bait. Bass are biting on minnows and crankbaits.
No new fishing activity to report.
Anglers trolling in deep water are having better luck for the walleyes then those jigging. Shackelton Shoals, though, is producing walleyes. Use Dixie Spinners with night crawlers in about 15 feet of water. Smallmouth bass fishing has been good for anglers "following the birds." When birds are found diving on schools of baitfish, the smallmouth bass are actively feeding underneath them. Tossing topwater baits and a wide variety of plastic baits are working. Largemouth bass are hitting creature baits fished in and around the deep weed edges.
There has been some largemouth bass and northern pike action along the outside weed edges. Spinnerbaits, rubber worms and crankbaits are working.
Largemouth bass are hitting on spinnerbaits, crankbaits and rubber worms fished on the outside weed edge.
Anglers trolling 50 to 70 feet down with spoons or flasher and fly rigs are still catching some lake trout. Try green pumpkinseed-colored, Senko worms or tube jigs (same color) for smallmouth bass.
Fleas and weed mats are making trolling more difficult on the lake. Lake trout are being caught in 65 to 110 feet of water, and also deeper in 200 to 300 feet of water. Trolling and vertical jigging are both working. Anglers trolling are fishing around 50 to 80 feet down and having luck on flasher & flies and spoons. Atlantic salmon and some rainbow trout are being taken 35 to 50 feet down on spoons. A lot of undersized salmon are still being caught so it pays to check your lines often. Largemouth bass are hitting in the north end in 5 to 12 feet of water.
Trolling 25 to 30 feet down with glow spoons is producing some rainbows and 50 to 60 feet down is working for lake trout. Anglers fishing near shore with tube jigs, drop-shot rigs and topwater baits are catching smallmouth bass.
Largemouth bass fishing continues to be good around the weed beds.
Brown trout and Atlantic salmon are hitting 25 feet down on alewives (saw bellies) and Krocodile spoons in blue & silver, silver & green and silver and prism tape. Lake trout are being taken 60 to 70 feet down on the same baits. Lake trout are also being caught in 50 to 120 feet by anglers vertical jigging.
St. LAWRENCE RIVER
Night crawlers are working for bass and pike. Bass are moving out deeper, into 30 to 35 feet of water. Good piking fishing now. Fish deep (40 feet) and use live bait (minnows).
Walleye fishing has slowed, but some fish are being taken in the deeper water on worm harnesses and jigs tipped with night crawlers.

International Criminal Court (ICC)
On 26 February 2011, the situation in Libya following the violent response to anti-government protests was referred to the ICC by the UN Security Council based on Art. 16 of the Rome Statute (Resolution 1970 of 2011). The Office of the Prosecutor announced soon thereafter that it was conducting an investigation into whether widespread or systematic attacks have indeed been perpetrated against the Libyan civilian population since fighting started on 15 February 2011.
On 4 May 2011, the First Report of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to the UN Security Council pursuant to Resolution 1970 (2011) was submitted. On 16 May 2011, the Prosecutor announced that he requested that the judges of the ICC issue arrest warrants against three individuals for crimes against humanity committed in Libya since February 2011: Muammar Gaddafi, Saif Al Islam Gaddafi and the Head of the Intelligence Abdullah Al Sanousi.
On 27 June 2011, international arrest warrants were issued for Muammar Gaddafi, his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi, the head of intelligence, for acts of murder and persecution as crimes against humanity committed in Libya between 15 February 2011 and at least 28 February 2011 (until at least 20 February 2011 in the case of Al-Senussi).
See: Decision on the "Prosecutor's Application Pursuant to Article 58 as to Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah Al-Senussi", Pre-Trial Chamber I, No. ICC-01/11, 27 June 2011
On 1 May 2012, the Libyan Government filed an application with the Court claiming the latter lacked jurisdiction in the cases of Al Gaddafi and Al Sanoussi. Since they were being actively investigated in their home country, Libyan authorities claimed, the principle of complementarity precluded ICC involvement.

African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights
On March 3, 2011, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights instituted proceedings against Libya before the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights "for serious violations" of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights ("African Charter"). On March 25, 2011, the African Court issued an order for provisional measures against Libya because "a situation of extreme gravity and urgency, as well as risk of irreparable harm" exists in the country.
The Court acknowledged that its order was not premised on "written pleadings or oral hearings," but the current conditions in Libya warranted the extraordinary measures. The Court also relied on other international organizations—the African Union, the Arab League, and the United Nations Security Council—which have expressed deep concerns about the human suffering in Libya and have called for immediate action against the current regime.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Tomorrow, we will be celebrating the 350th anniversary of the first permanent European settlement on Staten Island. The operative word is permanent.
There had been several other attempts to establish settlements on Staten Island, but they all failed, mostly because of the way the settlers treated the natives. While details of these attempts and the precise reasons for their failure are sketchy, the following account pieces together their story from numerous documents.
The first recorded attempt to colonize Staten Island was in 1638-39, when a Dutchman named David Pietersen de Vries started a plantation on the North Shore near Victory Boulevard and Bay Street.
Lacking sufficient resources to maintain his plantation, de Vries leased his property a year later to Thomas Smythe. Trouble soon followed and eventually de Vries' attempt to colonize Staten Island ended in disaster.
Documents revealed that in 1641, a ship leaving New Amsterdam (present day Manhattan) stopped to take on fresh water at the "watering place (present day Tompkinsville). The ship's sailors saw some pigs nearby and took them as well, not knowing or caring who owned them.
When the Dutch colonists found the pigs missing, they accused the Indians of stealing them and demanded the government of New Amsterdam take action. In response to the colonists' demands, Director-General Kieft sent soldiers to punish the Indians, killing men, women and children as they slept.
In retaliation, the Indians attacked the settlement, killing a number of settlers and burning the plantation. The incident, referred to as the Pig War, ended the first attempt to establish a permanent settlement on the Island.
Records indicate that a second attempt took place later that year when Cornelis Melyn arrived from Holland with 41 colonists. This time, the Directors in New Amsterdam stationed soldiers near the colony to prevent any further misunderstandings with the Indians.
In 1642, Melyn was given title to the whole of Staten Island "with all the powers, jurisdictions and pre-eminences." Disputes with the Indians were on the horizon and would result in his fall from grace. While the exact details that led to what has come to be known as the Whiskey War are disputed, it nevertheless resulted in the destruction of the colony.
One version involves traders and the local natives. Director-General Kieft helped to establish what is thought to be the first distillery in America in one of Melyn's buildings. Despite laws prohibiting the sale of whiskey to the Indians, as one story goes, several unscrupulous traders gave them whiskey then took advantage of their drunken state to rob them of furs and other possessions.
When the Indians tried to recoup their property and were refused, war broke out and the colony was once again destroyed.
Another version surrounds a dispute over land. The Dutch built a brewery on land claimed by the Indians. When the Dutch refused to compensate the Indians for the land, the Indians retaliated and burned the brewery to the ground. In either event, the result was the same — total destruction of the colony.
According to Dutch records, the third attempt was made in late 1654 when patents (land grants) were once again issued to establish a colony; however, it to would also meet with disaster.
In 1655, Hendrick Van Dyck, the former Attorney General of New Amsterdam, was believed to be living in Oude Dorp (present-day Old Town). One morning he looked out his window to find an Indian squaw picking a peach from his garden. Infuriated, he ran to get his gun and shot the woman dead.
While the Dutch authorities did not think much of the incident, the Indians had a different reaction. They demanded the Governor deliver Van Dyck to them. When the Governor refused, several neighboring tribes banded together and attacked New Amsterdam. When the attack failed, they turned their furry on the settlement on Staten Island. Nearly everyone was either killed or captured, with most of the crops and houses destroyed.
The Dutch were anxious to end all hostilities with the Indians. They realized that unless and until a lasting peace was achieved, they could not continue to colonize the region.
Finally, in 1660, a delegation representing Indians of Long Island, Staten Island, Hackensack, N.J., Haverstraw and Westchester County met in New Amsterdam with Stuyvesant and his council.
A peace treaty was signed providing remedies for many of the reasons for the wars of the past, including compensation for land and a mechanism for bringing to justice both Dutchmen and Indians who violated the law/treaty.
This paved the way for the next and permanent colony on Staten Island, this time on the South Shore — 350 years ago.
Tomorrow, Staten Island will be celebrating its 350th birthday. There will be a grand birthday party complete with a craft and music festival on the St. George Plaza of the Staten Island ferry. Don't miss this event! For more information, go to: www.si350.org

New beginnings can be painful. You have to start over in my ways. You lose family members. For 29 years you work to cultivate and respect the ex' family including his parents and his siblings, and now I ask - for what purpose? Over the years of the marriage you bond with nieces and nephews, sisters and brothers-in-law and even the parents. You open your heart to them and eventually love them. It takes time and work. Relationships develop, friendships grow, and overtime, you have new family members.
Then it all ends.
Gone....all of it is lost.
I am grappling with how to deal with this. Trying to figure out how to deal with the ex' family is perplexing.
What is protocol? Emily Post never gave any advice for this situation, and I even checked!
Since he announced his unhappiness in our marriage and went forward with the divorce through fruition, the in-laws and siblings haven't spoken, contacted, or corresponded with me. Nope, not even a Christmas card. Not even an e-mail.
Seriously, how do divorced couples proceed? When you divorce, do you also give up the ex' family? Do I send a "thank you" note for originally accepting me into their family? Do I contact them?
Do they blame me for the divorce? Is that why they won't communicate with me?
This is the stuff that alienates family members. How do my children deal with their grandparents when they ignore me? Isn't that putting them in a middle of a mess? Well-meaning friends have suggested doing nothing, but this isn't fair to my children. After all, my children are their grandchildren, nephews, and cousins. Is it my responsibility to keep the doors open?
I don't think I have the testicular fortitude to make the first move. Oh, I'm sure I don't.
I know it has to be dealt with, but I don't know how to proceed.
It's eating away at me!
Suggestions wanted!

Recently I discussed my ancestry with a Church Minister, telling that according to Geni I was related to Joseph, Jesus' father. My impression is that the story was not credible to him, even with the reservations and assumptions of possible mistakes done by fellow researchers.
Having now had the time again to browse the ancestry path, which goes via Jesus' brother James the Just (Righteous), it seems that there are some profiles mostly before Alfred the Great's time for which I don't easily find other Internet sources. Of course this makes me think: have I had too much reliance on uncertain sources?
If we are to keep Geni as a respected genealogy website, I would like to propose the following recommendation for anyone publishing new profiles: let us document our sources. This is especially critical if we go back to times beyond the reach of church-books and other commonly used genealogy sources.
Would it be possible to improve the documentation level in Geni?

I think one can use Wikipedia but be a litle careful.
12/29/2009 at 4:10 AM
Improving sources has long been on the Geni 'to do' list and I believe there is something in the pipeline soon. (follow these threads on the forum). What is being suggested by some forum members is that if an event is backed by a reliable source there should be a way to lock such information with the proviso that there is always room for someone to contest the source or come up with an alternative source at which point if the first person agrees they can unlock the information and add the second source.
The Discussion pages for each profile is probably the start of this, I imagine.
I try not to rely on Wikipedia as a source because it is just like Geni in that people randomly add to it. for the medieval profiles I use Medlands a lot as it has supporting sources.

Who can document that Josef is the father of Jesus? In Bible stays that maria was pregnant through ''The Holy Spirit'', also not from Josef. We more modern people have just a little problem to believe in this,though we always say that we believe it by every visit in church.
To be a little more profan I can tell you what my religion teacher meant about this pregnance. He said: ''What stays in Bible is very difficult to believe in modern time with insight in biological processes.''. He even meant that Maria maybe have had a ''one night stand'' with somebody and tried to save the pregnancy for Josef with that seh had met ''The Holy Spirit''. Is it really anybody who really have a sure documentation for Jesus' father so I am very interesting as I also in my connected tree have connection to Josef.
1/3/2010 at 7:04 PM
The original poster noted he was related to Joseph, step-father of Jesus. He did not say he was descended from him. He claims the ancestral line goes through Jesus' brother, James the Just. Jesus, son of Mary and son of God, had cousins, which in Biblical times were referred to as brothers, but Jesus had no direct brothers. Joseph and Mary never had any biological children together. These are the tenants of the Catholic Church and most likely are supported by some Protestant denominations as well. It is not something we can argue about here. This discussion should remain about documenting sources and should not drift into trying to prove or disprove beliefs of the Church. If you want to do that kind of debate, I suggest you find a discussion group for Biblical conspiracy theorists. Here's a hint: Google DaVinci Code.

iPhone 4 review: 'Death grip' not a killer
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- July 30, 2010
- No antenna problems or dropped calls
- Mobiles take off on Aussie flights
- iPod nano starting fires
- Take our Apple fanboi quiz
- iPhone news, reviews and more
THE iPhone 4 has taken a pounding from some people over its antenna "issue" since it was released in the US and UK more than a month ago.
I've been using Apple's new iPhone 4, which went on sale in Australia today, for nearly a week and I can say it's not an issue at all.
The design utilises the stainless steel band that holds the front and back panels together as the antenna.
Greatest fails - the things Apple haven't done all that well
The problem some found was that gripping the lower left corner of the metal strip made signal bars disappear in weak reception areas.
This was the first thing I tried and I could only reduce the signal bars using the "death grip" by one or two bars.
And I've tried this with SIM cards from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and 3 around the city and suburbs and didn't drop a call.
For my testing, I wasn't using the free case Apple is giving away with every iPhone 4 purchase which eliminates the "death grip" effect altogether.
Antenna issue or not, the iPhone 4 is a vast improvement over its predecessor in all areas. With a screen with four times the resolution of its predecessors, apps, webpages, emails and images look even better.
It's also much faster thanks to the A4 processor on board - the same one which can be found in the iPad - so applications open faster and functions really zip along.
The camera has also taken a giant leap forward to 5 megapixel resolution and also has a built-in LED flash.
The iPhone 4 can also capture HD video in surprising quality with users able to edit what they've shot on the device using Apple's new iMovie app.
The iPhone 4 costs $859 to buy outright. However, all carriers offer it free on a 24-month plan.
Vodafone and 3 offer the iPhone4 16GB starting from $29 a month for the plan and $18 for the handset. The iPhone is free on the $69/month plan.
Telstra's 16GB phones start at $79 for a 24-month plan. Optus offers the 16GB iPhone 4 from $59 per month.

Fanbois are totally wacked.. Get a life people - its a phone.. All of you ALREADY had an earlier iPhone.. why queue overnight to get a new one?? Wait till your contract expires and then buy one during normal business hours. Some people seriously need to get a life.
Marco of Melbourne Posted at 7:25 AM July 30, 2010
Biased review if i ever read one, Aaron you made a valid point, the phone should not be dropping bars yet it still is. My wife has a 8 megapixel camera in her Nokia and it takes amazing pics so i dont see whats so advanced about the iphone camera. Personally i think this phone is a gimmick for people that have so much spare time that they spend it playing games, using apps and all the rest. Honestly who has time to sit there and fiddle with their phone?
Phill@sydney of sydney Posted at 7:19 AM July 30, 2010
get an iphone - show - be told what you can do and watch ! and be behind the times..... no thanks ! reporting on this stuff ISNT news - get over it.... start reporting where the action (and interest) is please ! Iphones were the in thing once. Now - if someone gets one - you just feel sorry for them.

I have finally made a feeble attempt to summarize the past season--painful as it was. I have also compiled a Big Ten List of changes I hope to see in the coming year--my own opinions about what we need to do to win games.
A Season to Forget . . .
Normally, I try to find the humorous side when things are bad. Unfortunately for me, things have never been this bad. For the first time since 1931, Penn State lost more than 7 games in a season (Bob Higgins' squad was 2-8) that year. No wonder I'm so blue. No, I'm white. I'm blue. No white. Never mind.
This Penn State season was a trip to Neverland--the home of Captain Hook, not the home of Michael Jackson. The wide receivers were the lost boys. No one ever grew up--we were a "young team."

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Was able to personalized it to say exactly what we wanted. Also, they made changes I made to the proofs very quickly! And then the finished invitations arrived a week sooner than I thought they would! Great service!"
"I absolutely love the Monogram at the top and the design was perfect. It matched our wedding colors exactly. Wedding Paper Divas even switched to the color we requested prior to ordering and it shipped in 3-5 days. Awesome company!!"
"This was a beautiful invitation on very nice quality paper. The bride to be was very excited when she saw the finished product. They also arrived several days before the estimated arrival date. Thanks!"
"The "Wreathed In Love" invitations I customized and ordered were exactly as described. The paper stock was substantial, and the colors were true to the images I saw online. The customization process was relatively easy, and I had several color choices. I liked the fact that I could contact a design professional if I had any apprehension...and we all know weddings and events can cause a bit of apprehension! Luckily, the process was so smooth, and the design was so delightful that I didn't end up contacting a designer. The deliver fees were reasonable, and there were no delays. The best part was that I felt like I got a great product for a very fair price. I am proud of these invitations, and I will happily order from Wedding Paper DIvas again for other events."
"I was not going to order from wedding paper divas because it was a little more expensive than other sites. But I kept coming back to this design. It matched our wedding theme and colors perfectly and it was so stunning. I paid extra for the rounded corners, which was worth it because it made the invitation look so classy. I love love love this suite. I'm beyond impressed, this was well worth the money. My order even arrived early! I would definitely recommend wedding paper divas to anyone getting married."

Issue: A teen girl's parents "slap her around" and this is reported to DYFS by the girl's grandfather. The NJ Supreme Court found that "although hardly admirable … it does not fit a common sense prohibition against 'excessive' corporal punishment."
"A slap in the face:" The very phrase is a cliché that connotes rejection and humiliation. It's not about asserting parental authority. It's about control, a message to the slapped one that her body is not her own to protect. It's about a parent losing control. It's about bullying.
Maybe the court should read New Jersey's recently passed Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, the toughest in the nation, for an education in the devastating effects of bullying.
Oh, but that law's just for schools and for other people, right? Parents have a right to lose it and smack a child because he/she was just so darned infuriating? Kids need "a good smack" to enforce discipline, defenders will say.
Bull. Numerous studies show that slapping and smacking children has a negative effect on self-esteem, school performance and even IQ. If a parent can't enforce discipline in his or her home without physical (or verbal) violence, he or she is the one who's out of control.
And the truth is, the parent probably has some problems of his own, likely caused by abuse in his or her own childhood. Though it may be harder to see, the abusive parent is wounded and in need of healing as well.
He or she needs to reach out to a pastor or a counselor or social worker and find a way to maintain self-control. There's lots of information on the web, for both abusers and victims of domestic violence. In New Jersey, an abuser (or victim) can call 211 to begin the search for help.
There's no such thing as a "good smack." Slapping a child is just plain wrong.

CHE Partners on why they value our work
CHE presents the second in a series of calls featuring the Superfund Research Program
From Love Canal in New York to the Palos Verde Shelf in California, more than 1,300 locations have been federally designated as Superfund sites since the program's inception in 1980. Many people are unaware that in addition to cleaning up hazardous waste, the Superfund program also includes a critical research component investigating health effects of toxic substances found at these sites, as well as translating this research for affected communities and others. In 2012, the NIEHS Superfund Research Program celebrated its 25th anniversary of research to protect human health and the environment.
This call included an overview of the Program's history, highlighting some of the accomplishments of scientists, trainees and research translation efforts.
Dr. Bill Suk, has served as director of the Superfund Research Program since its inception as the Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Training Program at NIEHS, and described the overall structure of Superfund Research Centers, primary goals of the program and key changes in the program over time. He was followed by Dr. Joseph Graziano, Director of the Columbia University SRP established in 2000. Dr. Graziano discussed his research on arsenic in drinking water in Bangladesh, findings associating exposures with deficits in child intelligence, and implications for policy. Dr. Jennifer Schlezinger discussed her experience as a trainee of the BU SRP who worked in the laboratory of two BU SRP investigators before becoming a Principal Investigator of her own BU SRP study focused on receptor mediated toxicity and chemical mixtures.
This call was moderated by Elise Miller, Executive Director of CHE, with special guest discussion leader Dr. David Ozonoff, Director of the Boston University Superfund Research Program.
Featured speakers:
Dr. William Suk, PhD, MPH, has served as director of the Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Training Program (Superfund Research Program) since its inception. He is also director of the Center for Risk & Integrated Sciences (CRIS) at NIEHS. His affiliation with a number of organizations and committees include: Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences; International Advisory Board of the Chulabhorn Research Institute, Bangkok, Thailand; and World Health Organization Consultation on Scientific Principles and Methodologies for Assessing Health Risks in Children Associated with Chemical Exposures. He sits on a member of a number of trans-NIH committees.
Dr. Joseph Graziano, PhD, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences and Pharmacology; Associate Dean for Research, The Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University; Director, The Columbia University Superfund Basic Research Program. Dr. Graziano has been a faculty member at the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University since 1979, and was Chairman of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health from 1991-2002, when he became Associate Dean for Research. Prior to that, he served on the faculties of The Rockefeller University and Cornell University Medical College. In 2000, Dr. Graziano became the founding director of the Columbia University Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP), entitled Health Effects and Geochemistry of Arsenic and Lead. The Columbia SBRP involves faculty from four schools of Columbia University, and includes geochemistry, hydrology and remediation research at four US Superfund sites, as well as studies of arsenic metabolism and toxicity in families exposed to naturally occurring high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water in Bangladesh. His most recent research has discovered that both arsenic and manganese exposures are associated with cognitive deficits in children. His lab has also contributed to the recent findings from Bangladesh that folic acid facilitates arsenic methylation and elimination, leading to a decline in blood arsenic concentration.
Dr. Jennifer Schlezinger, PhD, received her BS from Boston College in 1992 and her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Biological Oceanography in 1998. Dr. Schlezinger began her interaction with the Superfund Research Program during her doctoral studies. As a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. John Stegeman (a PI in the Boston University Superfund Research Program (BUSRP)), she studied the molecular mechanisms of PCB toxicity in a marine fish model. Her training under the Superfund Research Program umbrella continued at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), where she completed her post-doctoral training in the field of immunotoxicology, in the laboratory of Dr. David Sherr (a PI in the BUSRP). These SRP training opportunities culminated in Dr. Schlezinger establishing her own laboratory at BUSPH and becoming a PI herself in the BUSRP.
Dr. David Ozonoff moved to Boston University in 1977 as the first chair of the Department of Environmental Health in the new School of Public Health, a position he held until 2003. His research centers on community health effects of toxic exposures, especially from hazardous waste sites; new mathematical approaches to understanding the results of small case-control studies; and the use of scientific evidence in court. Dr. Ozonoff has been principal or co-investigator of several major studies of waste sites and is Director of the Superfund Basic Research Program—a multidisciplinary effort, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, to understand basic scientific problems connected with the federal Superfund Program. He works with The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science at Rutgers University on a Special Focus effort to bring together mathematicians and epidemiologists. Dr. Ozonoff is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the online journal, Environmental Health.

The German bank is paying a record $2.5 bln to settle rate-rigging charges. To make things worse Deutsche Bank misled the UK regulator and others. That's not smart in a highly regulated industry. With a currency market fine also pending, the reputational damage could grow.
BofA stuck in a low-profitability trap
Several of the bank's businesses put in a good showing for the second quarter. Trouble is, even after aggressive cost-cutting, BofA is floundering. Strip out legal costs, tax breaks and other noise, and the firm run by Brian Moynihan can only manage a 6.4 pct return on equity.
Citi settlement imposes awfully pricey babysitter
An ex-prosecutor will watch the bank as part of its $7 bln deal with Uncle Sam. That may ensure compliance. But as Apple and others can attest, monitors are too often meddlers fond of excessive oversight and multimillion-dollar fees. Shareholders get stuck with the tab.
U.S. cooks up penalties with anti-foreign flavor
New research shows that overseas firms like BNP Paribas do in fact pay bigger fines and plead guilty more often than U.S. companies. One reason may be that prosecutors target only the most serious cases abroad. But the gaps feed suspicions that America is playing favorites.
Big U.S. bank fines far more art than science
In theory there are defined, if loose, legal criteria for penalties. But the largest, like the possible $13 bln bite out of JPMorgan, can seem pulled from thin air. While courts occasionally run the rule over the numbers, regulators' zeal and public outrage outweigh the logic.

Blake Fielder-Civil, 30, reportedly suffered multiple organ failure and is on life support after an overdose, according to eonline.
The late singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, has blamed Fielder-Civil for leading her into drug abuse. He chronicled her decline in the book, "Amy, My Daughter."
Today, Mitch Winehouse took to Twitter. He called on fans to "remember Amy loved him. Let's pray for his recovery."
Amy Winehouse, who also struggled with addiction, was found dead in July 2011 at her north London home at the age of just 27. The coroner ruled the singer's death was the result of drinking too much alcohol.
Winehouse met Fielder-Civil in 2005 and they married twop years later. The union lasted just two years.

T-Mobile USA Inc. has changed its mind about charging customers $1.50 to receive paper versions of their bill in the mail
The Desk reported Aug. 23 on plans for the fee -- $3.50 if you wanted the detailed breakdowns of your calls -- and since, has heard from more than a dozen angry T-Mobile customers who don't have computers or who aren't comfortable with online billing.
T-Mobile customers who wanted free bills had to sign up online and in some cases, provide bank account or credit card information so the wireless company could take out its monthly charges automatically.
In a statement issued to The Desk on Tuesday, T-Mobile said it had heard "everything from kudos to concerns about the move to paperless, especially from our customers who today are receiving paper bills at no charge."
For now, the statement continued, the company will not charge for paper bills as it determines the "fairest way possible to encourage people to go paperless."
Customers will be notified of the decision in their next bill.
The Oregon Public Utility Commission, which has received 34 complaints from The Desk's readers, has no jurisdiction over the company but had been forwarding all of the complaints to T-Mobile. The Oregon Attorney General's Office received another three complaints.
No customers were charged for bills as the change was set to take effect last Saturday and the decision to rescind the paperless proram was made Friday.

David Oman McKay (September 8, 1873 – January 18, 1970) was an American religious leader and educator who served as the ninth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), serving from 1951 until his death. Ordained an apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1906, McKay was a general authority for nearly 64 years, longer than anyone else in LDS Church history, except Eldred G. Smith (though Smith was not active as a general authority for many years).
Early life[edit]
The third child of David McKay and Jennette Eveline Evans McKay, David Oman McKay was born on his father's farm in Huntsville, Utah Territory, about 10 miles (16 km) east of Ogden. McKay's mother was a Welsh immigrant from Merthyr Tydfil, and his father was a Scottish immigrant from Caithness.[2] In 1880, after McKay's two older sisters died, his father was called on an LDS mission to his native Scotland, where he proselyted for two years. In his father's absence, McKay took on additional family responsibilities to help his mother.
McKay's grandmother bequeathed $5000 to McKay's mother upon her death and directed that "every cent ... be used for the education of the children."[3] This money allowed McKay, his brother Thomas McKay, and their two sisters to attend the University of Utah. McKay graduated in 1897 as valedictorian and class president.[3]
Immediately afterward he was called on a mission to Great Britain. Like his father, he presided over the Scottish district of the church. Early in his mission, he was impressed by the motto "What E'er Thou Art, Act Well Thy Part," which he saw inscribed on a building in Stirling.[2] This message became a source of inspiration for the rest of his life.[4]
Upon his return in fall 1899, McKay taught at the high school level at LDS Weber Stake Academy (the predecessor of Weber State University) and became principal in 1902. He married Emma Ray Riggs in the Salt Lake Temple on January 2, 1901. They eventually had seven children, one of whom died as a young child.[5]
For his first three years at Weber, McKay taught mainly religion and literature classes. On April 17, 1902, McKay was appointed principal of Weber succeeding Louis F. Moench, the founding principal who had resigned after nine years at the helm of the institution. One of his first actions as principal was to organize a school paper.[6]
McKay also oversaw the inauguration of sports programs at Weber. In 1905 they won their baseball game against the University of Utah. There were also men's and women's basketball teams organized during McKay's tenure.[7]
In 1905, church apostles John W. Taylor and Matthias F. Cowley resigned from the Quorum of the Twelve due to disagreement over the manifesto forbidding polygamy. In early 1906, apostle Marriner W. Merrill died. With three vacancies in the quorum, George F. Richards, Orson F. Whitney, and McKay were called as apostles in the church's April 1906 general conference. McKay was 32 years old at the time.
Prior to this appointment to full-time church service, McKay had planned on a career in education and educational administration. Even after his appointment, McKay stayed active in education. He continued serving as principal of the Weber Stake Academy until 1908 when he was replaced by Wilford M. McKendrick.[8] McKay stayed on to see new building projects that he had inaugurated completed.[9] He also served on the Weber school's board of trustees until 1922 and on the University of Utah's board of regents from 1921 to 1922.
McKay enjoyed a long, personal friendship with John F. Fitzpatrick, publisher of the Salt Lake Tribune (1924–60). They would meet once a week for breakfast to discuss the betterment of the state of Utah. Fitzpatrick, the architect of the Newspaper Agency Corporation, a joint operating agreement between the Salt Lake Tribune (Kearns Corporation) and the church-owned Deseret News, consulted extensively with McKay to form this mutually beneficial business in 1952.[10]
Member of the Quorum of the Twelve[edit]
In October 1906, McKay became an assistant to the superintendent of the Deseret Sunday School Union. At the time, Joseph F. Smith was both President of the Church and Superintendent of the Sunday School, so much of the actual running of the Sunday School was performed by McKay. After Smith died, McKay became the Sunday School superintendent.
In 1920, the First Presidency assigned McKay to make a worldwide tour of the missions of the church with Hugh J. Cannon. They dedicated China for the preaching of the gospel, traveled to Hawaii where McKay first had the vision that led to the founding of BYU–Hawaii many years later, and visited Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, and Palestine. In Palestine they met up with Wilford Booth and visited Armenian Latter-day Saints. McKay arrived back in Utah on Christmas Eve, 1921. The details of this 61,646-mile journey are recorded in an account by Hugh Cannon.[11]
From 1923 until 1925, McKay served as president of the church's European Mission, headquartered in London. In this capacity, he had direct responsibility over all church functions in the British Isles and supervisory functions over mission presidents on the European continent. It was while in this position that McKay first used the slogan "every member a missionary" for the promotion of outreach. The philosophy has since become a standard practice in every unit of the church.
In 1934, McKay was called as second counselor in the First Presidency by Heber J. Grant. He also served as second counselor to George Albert Smith.[12]
Influence on education[edit]
Within the leadership of the LDS Church, McKay maintained his focus on education. As General Superintendent of the church's Sunday School organization from 1918 to 1934, McKay built LDS seminary buildings near public high schools throughout the state of Utah. Adjacent seminary buildings allowed students to take LDS religious courses along with their secular high school education. McKay also transferred three LDS colleges to the state of Utah in the 1920s: Snow College, Weber State University and Dixie College. Utah underfunded the institutions and in 1953 the governor, J. Bracken Lee, offered to give them back to the LDS Church. McKay, then president of the church, said he would accept them, but the proposal failed on voter referendum.
McKay guided the remaining LDS school in Utah, Brigham Young University (BYU) into a full four-year university. McKay was the fourth Commissioner of Church Education in 1920 and 1921.
Besides church education, McKay stressed missionary work, and traveled Europe extensively.
Grant chose McKay to serve as Second Counselor in the First Presidency in 1934. He served in the presidency under church presidents Grant and Smith until 1951. In 1950 he became President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, being the second most senior apostle after the church's president. He was ordained president of the church on April 9, 1951 upon Smith's death.[13]
In honor of his years of dedicated service as an educator, the BYU School of Education was named the McKay School of Education. Weber State University's school of education is housed in a building that carries his name.
President of the LDS Church[edit]
McKay became president of the LDS Church when he was 77 years old. He acted in this capacity for 19 years, until his death. In this period, the number of members and stakes in the church nearly tripled, from 1.1 million to 2.8 million, and 184 to 500 respectively.
McKay was outspoken in his opposition to communism, which he saw as philosophically opposed to faith given its atheist underpinnings and its denial of freedom of choice. Furthermore, communist nations generally forbid proselytizing by the church and most other religions.
In 1951, McKay began plans for building what would one-day become BYU-Hawaii. In 1921, McKay had promised the church would build a school near its temple in Hawaii.
In 1954, McKay made a trip around the world visiting countries such as Brazil, South Africa, Fiji, and Tonga.
Under McKay's administration, the LDS Church's stance on Africans holding the priesthood was softened. Beginning in the mid-1950s, members of suspected African descent no longer needed to prove their lineage was not African. Instead, the church allowed dark-skinned members to hold the priesthood unless it was proved that they were of African descent. This policy made proselytizing and priesthood ordination much easier in racially mixed areas, such as South America and South Africa. Blacks of verifiable African descent (including most in the United States) were not permitted to hold the priesthood until eight years after McKay's death.
During his tenure as president, the church spearheaded the Priesthood Correlation Program in 1961. By the 1970s, priesthood quorums directed women-led organizations like the Relief Society at all levels. Such organization became known as auxiliary organizations. Priesthood correlation continues in the church today.
Famous film director Cecil B. DeMille consulted with McKay during the production of The Ten Commandments. They formed a friendship that would last until DeMille's death. McKay invited DeMille to BYU, where he delivered a commencement address in 1957.
McKay kept a steady pace of travel until he entered his 90s. His deteriorating health in the mid-1960s ultimately led to the appointment of three additional counselors in the First Presidency, as existing members were increasingly infirm and often unable to preside at church meetings. By 1968, the First Presidency was composed of six members, which made the body larger than it had been since the death of Brigham Young in 1877. McKay's counselors in the First Presidency were Stephen L Richards (First Counselor, 1951–59); J. Reuben Clark, Jr. (Second Counselor (1951–59, First Counselor 1959–61); Henry D. Moyle (Second Counselor 1959–61, First Counselor 1961–63); Hugh B. Brown (Third Counselor 1961, Second Counselor 1961–63, First Counselor 1963–70); N. Eldon Tanner (Second Counselor, 1963–70); Thorpe B. Isaacson (Counselor, 1965–70); Joseph Fielding Smith (Counselor, 1965–70); Alvin R. Dyer (Counselor, 1968–70).
McKay died on January 18, 1970, at age 96 and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Funeral services at the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
Headstones McKay and his wife, Emma McKay.
Family ties[edit]
McKay had multiple family ties to other influential Latter-day Saints and Utahns. His younger brother, Thomas Evans McKay (1875–1958), was a prominent missionary and mission leader for the LDS Church in Switzerland and Germany. He also served as an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1941 to 1958.
McKay's niece, Fawn McKay Brodie, was the author of the controversial book No Man Knows My History, a highly critical biography of church founder Joseph Smith, the publication of which led to her eventual excommunication from the LDS Church.
McKay's oldest son, David Lawrence McKay, was the eighth general superintendent of the LDS Church's Sunday School organization. When his father was ill, David often read his father's sermons during general conference.
One of McKay's granddaughters is Joyce McKay Bennett[14] the wife of former United States Senator Bob Bennett. Another grandchild, Alan Ashton, was the co-founder and half-owner of WordPerfect, which was eventually sold off to Novell and then to Corel.[15]
A building at Utah Valley University in Orem, the David O. McKay Events Center, was named for McKay after an anonymous multimillion-dollar contribution was given in his honor.[citation needed]
McKay was concerned with missionary work, and coined the phrase "[e]very member a missionary"[16] in order to encourage church members to become more engaged in that work, and not just leave it to the full-time missionaries.[17]
McKay's statement that "[n]o other success can compensate for failure in the home"[18] is taught to LDS Church members as an important principle.[19]
McKay's teachings as an apostle were the 2005 course of study in the LDS Church's Sunday Relief Society and Melchizedek priesthood classes.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Centredale Manor Restoration Project
Based on an Aug. 18, 2009, agreement with EPA, Centredale Manor began to address dioxin contaminated soils beneath the Brook Village parking areas at 2072 Smith Street. Soils contaminated with dioxin were removed from the site because the contaminants were migrating via groundwater toward the Woonasquatucket River. Work began Aug. 19 with site preparation and installation of sheet piling on the Woonasquatucket River started Aug. 24. Contaminated soils were excavated starting Sept. 1 and the first shipment of waste offsite was Sept. 10. After shipping 84 containers of hazardous soil to Canada, contractors completed excavation work on Sept 28.
On October 6, an impermeable liner and drainage layers were installed and designed, along with reconstruction of the riverbank rip rap. By Oct. 26, disposal was complete, the site was backfilled, capped and re-graded and repaving had begun. The work was done by Nov. 5. Landscaping was revisited in the spring of 2010.

Description Edit
There's a creature in the Bone Wastes so fearsome that only the dauntless dare to stalk him. I speak of Torgos, king of the bonelashers, who circles over Veil Rhaze on the western edge of the wastes. Too bad that there's an arakkoan scarecrow there, known as Torgos's Bane, which keeps him at bay. I'd bet if you laid his mate Trachela's carcass at the foot of that scarecrow he'd come down anyway. She can be found at Carrion Hill in the northern wastes. Bring me one of Torgos's tail feathers.

First location was Frankfurt/Main where he worked for nearly a year at the renowned type foundery of Luther and Egenolff. Passing Mainz he continued to Holland, where he arrived in November 1728 and stayed till he died in 1768. More…

West Linn at Coeur d'Alene (Idaho), 7 p.m. Friday: After 17 seasons under Ron Chappell, West Linn begins a new era with former La Salle and Lincoln coach Mike Fanger. The Lions finished third in the Class 6A power rankings last season but lost a first-round playoff game to No. 37 David Douglas. West Linn's big offensive line features Oregon-bound senior Evan Voeller (6-4, 285). Coeur d'Alene, Idaho's two-time reigning big-school champion, has won 22 in a row since losing to Skyview of Vancouver 36-34 in 2010. But the Vikings are in transition after graduating their quarterback, leading rusher and top three receivers. They won 40-36 in their opener last week against Skyview (Idaho).

SPRINGFIELD – The four Democratic candidates for Hampden Superior Court clerk will participate in a debate at Western New England University School of Law Thursday at 7 p.m.
The debate is in Blake Law Center's J. Gerard Pellegrini Moot Court Room.
It will be moderated by Arthur D. Wolf, director of the Law School's Institute for Legislative and Governmental Affairs.
Candidates are Laura Gentile, a lawyer who has served as an assistant Superior Court Clerk for the past 15 years; Springfield City Councilor Thomas M. Ashe; lawyer and former Ludlow selectman John P. DaCruz; and Linda A. Stec DiSanti of Chicopee, legal administrator and office manager at DiSanti Law Offices in West Springfield.
The Democratic primary is Sept. 6. There are no Republican candidates for the position, which is being vacated because current clerk Brian P. Lees is not running for reelection.
All the candidates have been running very active campaigns, with lots of fund-raisers, "stand outs" at various locations with supporters holding signs, and appearances at public events such as the recent Great New England Air Show.
All four candidates also have very active Facebook campaign pages: John DaCruz for Clerk of Courts; Tom Ashe for Clerk of Courts; Linda Stec Disanti for Hampden County Clerk of Courts; and Laura Gentile for Clerk of Courts.
The candidates on their Facebook pages are posting photos of themselves at fund-raisers, at stand outs and with various notables and other county residents; they are also using the pages to promote fund-raisers and remind people of the election date.
All candidates have been fundraising, with the current campaign fund balances – according to the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance – as of July 31 as follows: Ashe, $30,552; DaCruz, $38,793; Gentile, $46,657; and DiSanti, $4,832.
The balance for DiSanti comes after she spent $13,355 in the two week reporting period ending July 31, including about $7,200 for a fund-raiser; $3,390 for printing; $1,000 for campaign management; and $678 for postage.
Other candidates are not yet showing large totals for expenditures.
The debate will also be available live via the Internet. People interested in accessing the webcast can visit the School of Law's web page at www.law.wne.edu for a link to the live stream.

James VanDerZee lived and photographed in Harlem for decades, including the remarkable period of cultural flowering known as the "Harlem Renaissance" (about 1919-29). Harlem's middle-and upper-class citizens comprised a large block of VanDerZee's subject matter. So, too, did the groups around which much of everyday life was organized, the fraternal lodges, sports clubs, and social clubs. Much of his energy was devoted to posing his subjects, providing the right backgrounds, and structuring the moment to be recorded. His portraits are deeply psychological, providing rich insights into sitter and photographer alike. Here, VanDerZee carefully situated the four fashionably dressed women, paying particular attention to their gestures, poses, and gazes.

On his web site Kreskin says: "Winning the lottery is an individual choice. There is never a set of winning numbers until the moment they are chosen and the numbers that make me a millionaire would probably not be the same for you. Each lotto player has their own individual set of numbers that makes them a winner the trick is to figure out what your individual numbers will be and for that you will have to look inside yourself." Any thoughts on this?
Dowser: "amazingly," he's been a spokesperson for the New Jersey Lottery.
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. A vast majority of the people who play the lottery will never be a big winner. Period. It's pure random chance. There is no system you can use, no chart you can look at, no astrologer you can consult. If there was there would be a lot more winners. Figure out what your individual numbers will be? The Powerball has millions of players and only 104 chances to win per year. Mathematically there is no way each lotto player can have an individual winning number combination. That paragraph sounds highbrow and noble, but it's basically crap.
Okay, now I believe you can predict lottery numbers
I just read Cash Only's post. Now I know why Kreskin wrote the paragraph. It wouldn't be cool for a lottery spokesperson to say "You'll never win".

Family Love on Which to Build - Friday, December 27, 2013
December 27
God has given us the assignment of representing Him during the formative years of parenting. That's why it is so critically important for us to acquaint our kids with God's two predominant natures…His unfathomable love and His justice.
The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. (Psalm 147:11 NIV)

Folks in Suffolk can feel extra good next time they pop into the pub for a pint. Waste from a local brewery as well as food waste from supermarkets, pubs, and hotels are helping produce clean energy.
Adnams brewery in Suffolk along with Waitrose supermarkets and other local businesses are turning beer and food waste into fuel at a new anaerobic digestion plant which can currently power 235 homes.
Anaerobic digestion turns gases from organic waste, like food and plants, into energy. We saw a similar scheme not too long ago in a Cambridge park, where anaerobic digestion turned dog waste into power for park lamps.
Adnams' Bio Digester began contributing power to National Grid on October 8th and expects to produce around 4.8 million kilowatt-hours per year.
Like he mentions in the video, this project does more than just produce renewable energy. It keeps that organic waste out of landfills.

|[TowerTalk] Stacked antenna spacing

I have an interesting quandary. Having finished (at least for now) the HF tower, I have turned my attention to next summer's project which is a 6m & 2M tower. My plans include a 5L 6M with a 16 foot boom, a 10L 2M with an 18 foot boom and (here's the kicker) a 6M Square Loop. I want the 6M Yagi for the gain and directivity but I also want the loop for monitoring purposes. When I last had the 6M Yagi up, I would often miss openings because activity would happen off the side or back of the antenna. The loop being omni directional would solve that problem, but presents another. How far apart would I have to separate the two 6M antennas so the Loop would not skew the pattern of the Yagi? I have had the 6M and the 2M antennas together with about 6 feet between them and they both worked well, but adding another 6M to the mix concerns me. Any ideas?
