a beautiful building with surprising and effective artistic decoration inside....a pure visual delight! plenty of parking spaces outside and the bathroom and bedroom were red and dramatic, and very comfortable with all that you might need including a spare toothebrush. lovely smelling soap and shampoo. they offered 3 grades of pillow softness for your comfort. the restaurant was extremly good, delicious food, with delightful sorbet or drink or tit bit between courses. all staff were really freindly and helpful. breakfast was a feast for all tastes! the weather was cool on our arrival or I would have loved to sit by the pool in the garden, too.there was also a lovely old library with helpful books about the area. I wish we had longer there nothing I did not like!
Everything! The staff were delightful and helpful,even the ones that did not have much English. The Palacio was wondeful and furnishing wondeful.Would definately stay at the Palacio again. Spanish dining hours!!!
staff were fantastic, very friendly no
The breakfast was a disappointment after such an excellent meal the night before - it consisted of film wrapped cakes with a piece of toast and tea or coffee. An English explanation of the 3 breakfast choices would have been helpful - we had the 4euro choice.
peace and quiet, nothing
It is informal with a friendly atmosphere
Perfectly placed for easy access to Santander and Ferry Port. Quiet, relaxing and in a beautiful area.
It's well placed in the zone, panoramics views There aren't lift

This year, we are excited to announce brand new Summer Conference pathways, or session themes. The new pathways are aligned with the ongoing research of the NMC Horizon Project so that you can relate the sessions you attend with the technologies, trends, and challenges that are set to shape the future of teaching and learning. Select one specific pathway that is most relevant to your work or a skill you want to acquire -- or embark on multiple pathways for a well-rounded perspective on all things edtech. Choose your own NMC Summer Conference learning adventure!
Click on any pathway below to get more details.
3D Printing and Making
We are in the midst of a shift in students being content consumers to creators. 3D printing technologies are enabling more hands-on learning experiences that often put students in control of how they demonstrate their knowledge, and Makerspaces provide venues for them to experiment and build. This pathway explores tools, techniques, and ideas for integrating more creation-centered learning across courses and programs. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Data Visualization Technologies
We communicate in increasingly visual ways -- from video production to infographics and all of the rich, media-centric methods in between. In an environment with an abundance of information, there is a need to put a comprehensible face to all of the data. This pathway examines the technologies that help us decipher the information we generate, by finding patterns, accessibly displaying data, or even physically materializing our ideas. Learn how to draw meaning out of complex notions and figures, and share it with those who will benefit from it. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Digital Strategies
Great digital strategies enrich teaching and learning inside and outside of the classroom. This pathway explores ways to harness the power of technology to reimagine how lessons and content can be delivered. Transcend conventional ideas and learning activities to create something that is new, meaningful, and 21st century. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Games and Gamification
While a growing number of institutions are experimenting with game-play, there has also been more attention surrounding gamification -- the integration of gaming mechanics into non-game situations. Games and gamification are both gaining support among educators who recognize that they can stimulate large gains in productivity and creativity. Learn how to develop and implement game-based learning in your curricula and programs. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Learning Technologies
While many technologies being used for learning today have roots in the consumer industry, the past decade has unearthed a host of tools and resources developed distinctly for education. This pathway examines the emerging technologies that are changing the landscape of formal and informal learning to make it more accessible and personalized. Make sure you're on the cutting edge of educational technology by exploring forward-thinking tools and ideas. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Media Production
There is a widespread demand for both faculty and students to have adequate levels of digital competency, and media production is an increasingly important and valued skill. Discover compelling and efficient methods and tools for producing polished videos, presentations, e-books, and more. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Social Media Technologies
We all know by now that learning is not a solo journey. Communication, collaboration, and media-creation and literacy are critical 21st century skills that are increasingly being factored into curricula in institutions across the globe. This pathway explores the technologies that are making learning a more interactive experience. See how education professionals are using socially-rich platforms to share and build upon new ideas, as well as connecting students, teachers, and field experts to enrich each others' lives. Threads in this pathway include but are not limited to:
Sparking innovation, learning and creativity.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Jerome Randle was content to keep feeding his California teammates the ball against Washington. When the Huskies started to sag off him defensively, the point guard figured it was time to start shooting.
Randle scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half and the Golden Bears rallied to beat No. 25 Washington for the second time this season, 86-71 on Thursday night, the Huskies' second loss to an unranked team in eight days.
GAME REPORT: California 86, Washington 71
"I just wanted to go out and get everybody else involved," Randle said. "I feel like I can score on anybody but I want my teammates to be happy. If they're happy, that's just going to open up more for me because they're scoring."
The planned worked perfectly for Cal, which snapped a two-game losing streak and won for just the second time in six games.
Unlike their triple overtime win over the Huskies on Jan. 10, the Golden Bears (17-6, 6-4 Pac-10 Conference) didn't have to sweat this one out. After falling behind by nine points early in the second half, Cal went on a 19-6 run and never looked back, building a 19-point lead en route to handing Washington its second-worst loss of the season.
"They were a little bit frustrated offensively and it carried over to their defense," Bears coach Mike Montgomery said. "The things that they were doing in the first half and taking away from us, they weren't quite as good with in the second half. Jerome got some confidence coming off some screens and he started making some shots, which is what he's done all year for us."
The Huskies, who lost to Arizona 106-97 on Jan. 29 before rebounding to beat No. 14 Arizona State on Saturday, made just four baskets over the final 17 minutes and scored 11 of its final 13 points from the free throw line.
As a result, Washington dropped a full game behind idle UCLA in the Pac-10 standings. The Huskies lost for just the third time in their last 17 games, two of the defeats coming against the Bears.
"We weren't getting stops, we weren't paying attention to our defensive assignments ... and they capitalized on it," said Quincy Pondexter, who matched his season-high with 21 points for the stumbling Huskies (16-6, 7-3). "They're really scrappy. They came out and played harder than us."
Theo Robertson had 21 points for Cal, while Jordan Wilkes added 14 points and eight rebounds.
The Bears hung close in the first half then stormed back behind Wilkes early in the second before Randle took over. Randle, who was held to two points on 1-of-4 shooting in the first half, scored eight straight points, including a 15-foot jumper to give the Bears a 55-51 lead midway through the second half.
"Cal just got into a rhythm," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. "I didn't think we were in sync the entire time. (The Bears) are an absolute machine, they're entire team."
After Washington pulled within four with 9 minutes left, Robertson scored on consecutive trips down the court to cap a 9-1 run and extend the lead to 71-59.
Freshman Isaiah Thomas made an open jumper that pulled Washington within 71-62, but that was as close as the Huskies would get.

The results of a Stockton Polling Institute survey show Republican candidates leading in all state-level races in the Republican-leaning 9th Legislative District, which includes much of Ocean County and portions of Atlantic and Burlington counties.
Poll results released Tuesday show strong support for Republican incumbents, with 61 percent saying they believe the state is headed in the right direction and 28 percent saying it is on the wrong track, while 12 percent are unsure.
The poll shows Gov. Chris Christie leading his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barbara Buono, by nearly 50 points — 70 to 21 — in the 9th District. Six percent remain undecided or refused to identify a choice.
Incumbent Republican state Sen. Chris Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove are leading their Democratic challengers by comfortable margins, according to the poll. Connors has 57 percent of the vote in the race against Democrat Anthony Mazzella, who has 26 percent.
Connors has the highest name recognition of all legislative candidates in the district, with 45 percent of those polled saying their opinion of him is somewhat or very favorable. Seven percent had unfavorable views of Connors. Nearly 47 percent said they are unfamiliar with him. However, 72 percent said they are not familiar with Mazzella.
Rumpf and Gove hold leads of about 10 percentage points over Democrats Peter Ferwerda and Christopher McManus. The Democratic Assembly candidates also are unfamiliar to more than 70 percent of those polled. Rumpf is unfamiliar to 54 percent and Gove is unfamiliar to 62 percent.
The 9th District Stockton poll results for the U.S. Senate race run contrary to statewide surveys, which have shown Democrat Cory Booker with a consistent but narrowing lead over Republican Steve Lonegan.
In the 9th District, including those who said they are leaning toward Booker or Lonegan, it is Lonegan who is leading with 54 percent compared with 37.5 percent for Booker, the Democratic Newark mayor.
The poll results show 23 percent of participants selected jobs as the most important issue facing the state, 20 percent pointed to property taxes and 14 percent cite taxes in general. Eleven percent of participants said the economy.
Portions of the region that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy showed 4 percent identifying storm recovery as the most important issue and another 1 percent citing disaster preparedness.
The results of the poll show that 74 percent support increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $8.25, in addition to providing annual cost-of-living increases, while 24 percent oppose the idea.
The poll was conducted from Sept. 27 to Sept. 30 with 611 likely 9th District voters. The Stockton Polling Institute is part of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.

The 44-year-old former goalkeeper, who made 99 appearances in all competitions for us between 2001 and 2005 before joining German side Borussia Monchengladbach, these days works as a TV pundit in his native America.
He still maintains a close association with hometown club Seattle Sounders - one of the MLS teams we'll be facing on this summer's tour of the US and Canada - having played for them between 2009 and 2011.
And having made a number of good friends throughout his career, in particular here at White Hart Lane, the former USA international is glad to see many of them keeping busy.
"From Steffen Freund to Christian Ziege to Gus Poyet - I made lots of friends at Spurs," Kasey said.
"It's good to see Steffen involved on the coaching staff at Spurs these days. We had a lot of fun when we were at the club together and Christian Ziege was also a great guy. He was actually a big reason why I got to go to Borussia Monchengladbach – he was there already and that really worked out.
"I'm still hoping Gus can keep Sunderland up although I know Spurs didn't help too much by beating them 5-1 the other week!
"There were others too - Mauricio Taricco, who is obviously with Gus at Sunderland, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, who I saw the other day when Sounders played Toronto. I have a lot of good memories from my time with them."

The games are getting bigger and bigger for Spurs Ladies as their quite incredible season progresses.

Jan Vertonghen first became aware of Mousa Dembele way back in the early 2000s and their friendship developed when Mousa moved to AZ Alkmaar in 2006. Now key players at Spurs and for Belgium, Jan describes Mousa as a 'friend for life'.

text: Well, One Piece is almost into the New World, which got me thinking. For such a dangerous sea, there sure were a lot of civilians there. But now, with the new world being so much more dangerous, it leads me to think that we're going to stop seeing civilians populating islands, and almost all remnants of society such as law and such will be gone (save the marines, who aren't much trouble since they just try to keep the balance). What do people think the loss of civilians would do to the series as a whole?

U.S. Attacks Drug Suppliers But Loses Battle of the Users
Published: April 12, 1988
(Page 4 of 4)
The bulk of the Government's prevention funds has been allocated to the Department of Education to support the development and use of drug education programs in the schools. The department has distributed a booklet, ''Schools Without Drugs,'' that recommends strategies to prevent drug experimentation and offers clear policies against drug abuse. But Education Secretary William J. Bennett has been openly skeptical that much of what passes for drug education has any value.
''I know there is a modest kind of sweet faith on the part of some that if you have a drug education course, young people will change their minds,'' he told the House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control last June. ''In fact, there's no evidence that that's the case at all.'' The department has been trying to identify schools that appear to have effective programs and find ways to hold schools accountable for assessing their drug education programs.
But analysts are dubious that the campaign, which seems to have been forced upon a reluctant Education Department, is paying off in a major way. ''It's highly unlikely that anything was accomplished,'' said Peter Reuter, a drug policy expert for the Rand Corporation. ''Prevention is still largely a slogan. People are still stumbling around as to what constitutes a good prevention program.''
A 1987 high school survey found that 75 percent of the seniors had received some drug education. A little more than half thought the lessons had decreased their interest in trying drugs to some degree, but 45 percent did not.
Now hopes are shifting to some of the tactics used in weaning nicotine addicts off their smoking habit. Young people are taught to resist peer pressure to take drugs, and instead to form their own social pressure groups in favor of drug-free living, and to make public commitments not to use drugs, among other tactics.
''The success stories in prevention are beginning to come in,'' said Dr. Charles R. Schuster, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. ''Peer resistance strategies have worked well for tobacco. They have worked less well with alcohol and marijuana. But I suspect when everybody is singing from the same song sheet, it will probably make a difference.'' Treatment: What Works?
Treatment programs rest on a more secure knowledge base than prevention programs, but here too there is disagreement over their effectiveness. The four principal treatments include detoxification, which helps addicts through withdrawal; methadone maintenance, which provides a more benign drug for heroin addicts; outpatient counseling and family therapy; and drug-free therapeutic residences.
''Treatment works, but only for people who stay in treatment,'' Dr. Schuster said. ''Unfortunately, only about 20 percent of those who need treatment are in treatment programs.''
Although there was a surge in treatment programs during the early 1970's, growth later slowed and failed to keep up with the rise in drug abuse. In many cities, addicts who seek treatment must wait weeks or even months to enter a program. There are only about 30,000 slots in methadone maintenance programs in New York City to meet the needs of more than 200,000 heroin abusers, according to city officials.
Most experts agree that, if the nation wants to make progress against drug abuse, it must minimally provide treatment for all those who seek it, and might maximally seek to entice virtually all addicts into a treatment program. The President's AIDS Commission recently called for a national policy of ''treatment on demand'' for an estimated 1.3 million intravenous drug abusers at risk of spreading AIDS. It urged expenditures of $15 billion over 10 years - half Federal and half state or local - to expand drug treatment services, construct 3,300 new treatment centers, and train 32,000 new drug workers. The likelihood that the Reagan Administration, nearing its end and faced with large budget deficits, would suddenly pour more money into drug treatment was deemed slight.
Increasingly, Administration officials have sought to reduce demand by ''forceful and swift'' actions targeted at the users, including arrests, fines, seizure of property, forfeiture of drivers licenses and other privileges, drug screening in the workplace, and compulsory work, education or even jail for offenders.
In a Feb. 29 speech to the White House Conference, Mrs. Reagan blamed casual users for creating a climate of acceptance for drugs and for financing the bullets that have murdered foreign drug officials and American narcotics agents. ''We must be as adamant about the casual user as we are about the addict,'' she said, adding, ''If you're a casual drug user, you're an accomplice to murder.''
For those who subscribe to the cyclic theory of drug use, this showed that the intolerant phase of the latest epidemic had clearly arrived, signaling perhaps its inevitable decline.

We Love This 'Big Miracle' Clip Compilation Almost as Much as We Love Whales!
This Friday, the uplifting true story Big Miracle comes to theaters, instilling the message that everybody, no matter who they are, loves whales. In celebration of the movie, whales, miracles, love, everybody, and all things big, we have assembled a collection of clips from the upcoming film, which stars Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski as headliners of a pretty terrific cast. Check out the clips and just try and deny your innate cetaceophilia.
Just in case we aren't sure why we love whales (which, need I remind you, we do), Rachel (Barrymore), an adamant animal rights activist, gives us plenty of reasons in this first clip from the film. They're beautiful, vulnerable, relatable creatures who need and deserve our help. I think she manages to convince Adam (Krasinski) pretty efficiently.
Find out what happens to these whales and the people who love them this Friday, Feb. 3, when Big Miracle, directed by Ken Kwapis, hits theaters!

Daniel Bryan retires from wrestling
Daniel Bryan has retired from wrestling after 16 years in the ring.
The former WWE champion - who held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship three times - announced the heartbreaking decision on wrestling show 'Monday Night Raw' last night (08.02.16), confirming he was hanging up his shorts because of one too many injuries.
In an emotional speech while standing in the ring at the KeyArena in Seattle, in his home state of Washington, Bryan, 34, told the stadium of screaming fans: "I've been angry, I've been sad, I've been frustrated, I've been all of that. But today when I woke up this morning, I felt nothing but gratitude.
"The truth is, I've been wrestling since I was 18 years old, and within the first five months of my wrestling career, I'd already had three concussions. For years after that, I would get a concussion here and there ... and then it gets to the point when you've been wrestling for 16 years.
"That adds up to a lot of concussions. It gets to a point where they tell you that you can't wrestle anymore.
"For a long time, I fought that, because I'd gotten EEGs and brain MRIs and neuropsychological evaluations, and all of them said this: I was fine, and I could come back and wrestle."
Bryan also admitted his future with his wife, 'Total Divas' star Brie Bella, played a big part in his decision because the couple are keen to have kids "soon".
He added: "A week and a half ago, I took a test that said maybe my brain isn't as OK as I thought it was. I have a family to think about; my wife and I want to start having kids soon.
"It is with a heavy heart and the utmost sadness that I officially announce my retirement.
"I have gotten to do what I love for nearly 16 years. I am grateful.
"Now tomorrow morning I start a new life, a life where I am no longer a wrestler.
"But that is tomorrow and that is not tonight and by damn I have one more night to feel this energy and to feel this crowd."
Referring to his famous "yes, yes yes!" chant, he added: "If I could just get one last 'Yes' chant I would really appreciate it."
The crowd duly obliged.
Prior to 'Raw' being aired, Bryan informed his 2.5 million Twitter followers that he was planning to make the announcement.
He tweeted: "Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a chance to elaborate. #gratitude (sic)"
Female wrestler Brie paid tribute to her husband and revealed his speech had made her emotional.
She tweeted: "Wow what a speech! So proud of you Bryan! N #ThankYouDanielBryan
"Anyone have some extra tissue! Haha N #ThankYouDanielBryan (sic)"
She also shared a poignant Instagram post of their hands on top of one another, and added the caption: "A new journey awaits us and for the rest of our lives we'll talk about this one. You have given so much hope and inspiration to people all over. We haven't lost you, just get to see you in a different light. #thankyoudanielbryan #mystrength #mylove (sic)"
A host of WWE stars paid tribute to Bryan, including John Cena - the boyfriend of Daniel's sister-in-law Nikki Bella - who wrote: "#ThankYouDanielBryan for DOING what most only talk about. Challenging everything. Authority, conformity, perception. Redefining valor. (sic)"
Triple H - who was involved in a long-running feud with Bryan and who lost to him at WrestleMania XXX in a match which preceded his title win against Randy Orton and Batista - remembered the star's World Championship win.
He tweeted: "One of my favorite @WrestleMania moments ever.
"Always have been and always will be an A+. #ThankYouDanielBryan (sic)"
WWE two-time Hall of Fame inductee Ric Flair wrote: "Congrats on a great run with the @WWE! You will always be held in high esteem! WOOOOO! @WWEDanielBryan (sic)"
Roman Reigns, a WWE Superstar, tweeted: "U have to work w/ the best to learn...sorry to hear the news but a pleasure sharing the ring. #ThankYouDanielBryan (sic)"

About Me
Ferrari, whose given birth name is Randy Ferrari DeShawn Brown, was born in Chicago, Illinois on May 4th, 1984. Growing up in and out of poverty, Ferrari quickly learned the difference of the mind sets between poor and middle class people. Although an athlete throughout his scholastic matriculation, Ferrari also had an artistic side loving to mimic characters and write songs and poems. After attending Clark Atlanta University for a year he decided to not return and pursue his real dream which was to be an actor. During this time Ferrari found out that his mother wanted his first name to be Ferrari, but another family member convinced her not too. He promptly decided to go by what his mother wanted to name him, refusing to answer to Randy anymore. Leaving Atlanta was the only thing that could fully indulge him in something such as acting so he moved to New York. Ferrari was received well in New York as he acted in Charles Fullers A Soldiers Play and Zooman and the Sign among other plays, and eventually scoring a lead in his first film Now. He was also a peer educator for Hospital Audiences Inc., going to different schools, detention centers, and even Rikers Island Prison, to promote violence prevention, HIV awareness, and prevention of substance abuse. He participated in The Leadership After School Program as well, bringing artistry and sports to children who would otherwise be running the streets. The buzz about Ferrari began to brew in the acting community and he was offered a scholarship to The LAByrinth Theater Master Class among the likes of the 2006 Oscar Winner for Best Actor and LAByrinth Theater Member, Phillip Seymour Hoffman. After finishing acting classes with The Labyrinth Theatre Company he decided to come back to CAU and truly study Theater Arts and Film/Television. His ultimate goal is to become an established and popular actor so that he can be an effective activist to urban communities and be accepted by the youths of today. Ferrari has vowed that the hip-hop culture will not be used in vain to promote Anti-Intellectualism among African-Americans.
Side Note: One of the reasons why it has taken me so long to post a profile here is because too many people are here for the wrong reasons If you are not about business meaning taking TASTEFUL pictures that you and I can both be proud of, then do not waste my time. Thank you.

I invited a friend to join me on a visit to this art museum yesterday. I called as we entered the campus and a sweet lady was happy to direct us to the museum. Unfortunately, we only allowed ourselves about 2 hours for our visit. We payed the reasonable admission fee ($5 per person, with another $5 for the audio guide which was very valuable) and started on our tour. The collection is amazing and we wandered through room after room of fine pieces from the Renaissance period. Our disappointment was that we only made it through about half of the collection before the museum closed at 5:00. They are only open from 2:00 to 5:00, and I would highly suggest you begin your visit as soon as they open if you want a chance at getting all the way through. It looked like they had a lovely gift store, but we chose to see as much art as we could rather than leave the exhibit early to visit the gift shop. There were staff located throughout the museum and all were friendly and helpful. This is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon (especially a hot one!) in Greenville!

Occupy the Truth: Citizens protest flagrant media whitewashing of Occupy violence; Update: Lapdog media absent; Michelle Malkin: 'You rock the boat and you rock it hard!'
Occupy the Truth: Citizens protest flagrant media whitewashing of Occupy violence; Update: Lapdog media absent; Michelle Malkin: 'You rock the boat and you rock it hard!'
In April, five members of Occupy Cleveland were arrested for attempting to blow up the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge. The lapdog media ignored the alleged terrorists' connection to the Occupy movement.
It's time to Occupy the Truth.
Today in Cleveland, Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch, Sonnie Johnson, Jim Hoft, Andrew Marcus, Jenny Beth Martin, Tony Katz and many others are rallying and marching in protest of the media's shameful cover-up of Occupy criminality and continued smearing of the Tea Party.
Watch the rally here:
If you have any trouble with that live-stream, try this one:
Twitchy will bring you updates from Cleveland throughout the rally.
Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft organized the Occupy the Truth protest along with "Hating Breitbart" director Andrew Marcus.
Fabulous grassroots leader Sonnie Johnson got the crowd fired up right away.
Typical leftist response to a black conservative woman who's not afraid to speak her mind:
Radio host Tony Katz emceed the event.
How 'bout that? The mainstream media are absent as usual:
Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots spoke of freedom, patriotism and restoring the Constitution.
Dana Loesch was up next and railed against the intolerant leftists who call women like Sonnie Johnson "Uncle Tom."
This Occupier picked the wrong lady to mess with.
Loesch was on fire when she ripped into Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown for his support of the criminal Occupy movement that plotted to blow up a bridge in his state. Reminder:
You know who's here?
Andrew Marcus gets the crowd to shout, "Stop RAPING people!"
Meet the rally mascot:
Next up, "just a blogger" Michelle Malkin is on hand, fighting like a girl against the "blame righty"-obsessed "real journalists" in dead tree media.
Lapdog Andrea Mitchell gets a shout-out.
As always, Malkin is doing the work "real journalists" won't do and crediting other bloggers fighting for free speech.
The mainstream media still haven't shown up, natch.
Occupy the Truth: this is what peaceful protest looks like. This is what freedom of speech looks like. No rape tents, no terrorist plots and no vandalism. Are you watching, Occupiers?

Shelton Indiana 1820s, Michigan 1840s
Shelton, Crutchfield, McCormick - Seeking information about the parents of Jane Shelton b 1824 in Indiana, Elizabeth Shelton b 1826 in Indiana and Jacob Shelton b 1828 in Indiana.I believe they are siblings with the father being John Shelton.
Jane Shelton married James McCormick, Elizabeth Shelton m. Andrew Jackson Crutchfield and Jacob Shelton was living with his sister and brother-in-law (Jane and James) in 1850 in Michigan.
James McCormick met Jane on a visit to his brother Joseph in KY.Andrew and Rufus Crutchfield were said to be bond out to the McCormicks as boys. I'm trying to figure out what the connections are between these three families.

The 2008 Lexus GS 460 works as a good example of powertrain engineering, where Lexus took its existing GS model and dropped in the engine and transmission that it launched in the 2007 LS 460. We were very impressed with this powertrain in the LS for its fuel economy, and it loses nothing in the smaller GS 460. Of course, being a Lexus, this car also offers a very comfortable cabin with a solid array of technology, from a rich graphical interface to a superb-sounding Mark Levinson audio system. None of this cabin tech is particularly cutting-edge at this point, but it all works well. What really surprised us about this car was its performance, when we drove it for a couple of laps around the Laguna Seca race track.
Test the tech: Secret racer
Our first encounter with the 2008 Lexus GS 460 happened to be at Laguna Seca, where it sat among the cars we could take out for a couple of high-speed laps. Given Lexus' reputation for luxury over sport, we weren't expecting anything more than some comfortable sightseeing through the corkscrew, Laguna Seca's most notorious set of turns. We knew the 4.6-liter V-8 under the hood, with its 342 horsepower, would push the car along pretty well, but at Laguna Seca, it's the turns that count.
A set of switches on the console let us put the suspension in Sport mode and tune the engine for maximum torque. The automatic transmission in this car, which has an impressive eight gears, has a sport mode and manual selection. We wanted to see how its sport program worked, so left it in that mode and rolled out onto the track.
Going into the first couple of corners, we expected a lot of body roll from this big, luxurious sedan, but the GS 460 surprised us by staying relatively flat. And although we didn't feel an aggressive downshift, the transmission put the car in the right gear to give us plenty of power coming out of the turns. On the uphill straightaway just after turn 5, the V-8 proved more than adequate, giving us plenty of acceleration. By the time we took the dive into turn 6, we were gaining confidence with this luxury cruiser.
As with all the cars we drove this day, we took it easy through the corkscrew, but blasted down through subsequent turns 9 and 10. The GS 460 handled this long "S" maneuver well, again staying flat and keeping its tires gripping the road. After the tight turn 11, we used the quarter-mile straightaway to floor the gas, and the GS 460 gracefully accelerated right to the top.
With the first lap under our belts, we had confidence to push the GS 460 even faster through the corners on the second lap. We were impressed with the suspension, which uses electric actuators on the sway bars to counteract body roll. The suspension actually has four modes, Sport, which you can select, and three others that are chosen by the car based on road feel and driving style. The power steering is also electrically driven. Unfortunately, the steering offers little feedback to the driver in favor of an easy-to-turn luxury feel. Although the GS460 performed surprisingly well on the track, the wheel doesn't make you feel like you are driving a sports sedan.
In the cabin
The design of the 2008 Lexus GS 460's cabin is tastefully executed, with nice materials and big, round buttons inset around the big touch-screen LCD at the center of the instrument panel. The buttons around the LCD let you choose major functions, such as destination entry, maps, or the stereo system, while the touch screen lets you input the fine details, such as a street address. There is also a voice command system that works reasonably well. One thing we like about the voice command is that, instead of having you first say an application command, such as navigation or audio, you can just say a specific command, for example dialing a phone number or searching for a specific type of restaurant. Although it is easy to start using navigation or the audio system, the phone menu is buried under the Information menu.
We like the quality of the maps on the navigation system. The lines are cleanly drawn, the colors are nice, and the resolution makes them easy to read. The system also offers a very full points-of-interest database and a variety of methods for entering destinations, including by freeway entrance and GPS coordinates. But other than those points, the system doesn't offer any particularly advanced technology. The maps are stored on a DVD, although we never noticed much hesitation or lag from the system. Route guidance offers useful graphics to indicate upcoming turns, but the system doesn't have text-to-speech, so it can't read out the names of streets. And it doesn't have live traffic reporting, which would have been nice during our test period with the car.
Lexus bundles the navigation system with an upgraded Mark Levinson audio system, which produces excellent sound. There are 14 speakers around the cabin, including 3 in each front door, 2 in each rear door, and 2 on the rear deck, along with a subwoofer and center fill. These speakers are powered by an 11-channel 330-watt amplifier, resulting in very clear reproduction with solid bass that doesn't distort or rattle the speakers when the volume is up. The only thing lacking with the stereo were audio sources, which were just basic. Our car merely had a six-disc changer that can read MP3 CDs and DVDs, and an auxiliary input jack. XM satellite radio and iPod integration are also available. These choices felt a little spare next to those of the Infiniti EX35, which we recently reviewed.

When it comes to the flu, health officials strongly recommend that three groups be vaccinated. First, children — with weaker immune systems and less knowledge about the spread of germs — are vulnerable. So too are college students, who should know what it takes to stay healthy, but often live in crowded quarters — where hygiene and clean living often come second to the communal consumption of food, drink and late-night celebration. Third, pregnant women — who often shun medication out of fear of side-effects for their unborn babies — are four times more likely to be hospitalized by H1N1 than those who aren't expecting.
First, freshmen — whose political vulnerability stems from lower name identification, weaker fundraising networks and fewer legislative achievements. After a national mandate for change in 2008, many freshmen will be judged by whether they helped make good on that promise, or chose Washington's business-as-usual instead. Supporting reform is a security blanket.
Second, Republicans representing states or districts President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaImmigration agents planning raids next week targeting teenage gang members Obama intel chief wonders if Trump is trying to make 'Russia great again' Sean Spicer's most memorable moments as press secretary MORE carried. Many won election by emphasizing their ability to cross party lines and get things done. For these Republicans, a vote for health reform could inoculate them from charges that they've been infected by pressure from the do-nothing national GOP and the health insurance lobby.
Finally, Blue Dog Democrats. These lawmakers are accustomed to going against the national Democratic grain, as voters back home tend to be resistant to federal legislative action.
This week, Sen. Jon Kyl (R) of Arizona tried to define his opposition to health reform in those terms, blasting the Senate Finance Committee legislation as "a tangled web of federally dictated insurance regulations."
But Blue Dogs, take note: Health insurance reform is no ordinary set of federal rules.
For Kyl, it may be philosophically objectionable to require insurance companies to cover preventive care and pre-existing conditions; to place a limit on out-of-pocket costs; and to eliminate annual or lifetime caps on coverage.
But for many Americans represented by Blue Dogs, keeping insurance companies honest isn't merely acceptable. It is real change to a broken system that's long overdue. In a poll conducted last month by Anzalone-Liszt Research in 52 Blue Dog districts, 55 percent of respondents supported major reform or a complete overhaul of the healthcare system. Over 60 percent were concerned that Congress would fail to pass reform this year.
And there's no more reliable prognosis for a party's midterm prospects than its president's approval rating — which is bound to be tied to the success of health reform.
For the fall season, the bottom line is this: Whether you're an American at risk for the flu or a politician at risk of losing your seat, you simply cannot afford to do nothing.
Roll up your sleeves and get it done.

The first traces of the Hugel family in Alsace can be traced back to the XVth century. Some two centuries later, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, which had been devastated by the terrible Thirty Years War. In 1639 he was made a freeman of the city and soon took charge of the very powerful Corporation of Winegrowers. In 1672 his son built a fine house in the Rue des Cordiers, and over the doorway was carved the family crest which was the origin of the company's logo still used today.
The perfect introduction to Alsace wines as it combines the qualities of all our white varietals. This wine revives an ancient Alsace tradition that wines assembled from noble grape varieties were called "Gentil". Gentil "Hugel" allies the suave, spicy flavour of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.
Bright, silvery sheen, pale green colour, fresh, lively and youthful with an elegant aspect. Attractive, flattering bouquet, open and forthcoming, quite aromatic, scented, floral and fruit-driven: cardamom, lemon balm, rose, lime blossom, cherry blossom and sweet almond. Harmonious and well-rounded, with a nicely ripe - yet not over-ripe - grape character. On the palate, the wine is dry, generous, soft and supple, almost juicy, filling the mouth, showing good structure but also a nice, fruity, aromatic finish.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops reviews are out. With an overall rank of 90 out of a 100 by metacritic and 91.55% out of a 100 by gamerankings.
The game got many perfect reviews by critics, although some critics claimed it "Wasn't as good as Modern Warfare 2". One review claimed:
- "Treyarch delivers their best Call of Duty to date - but not the best in the series."
While Gametrailers said:
- ..It's a robust, quality product from top to bottom. The campaign is brief but memorable, and the multiplayer has taken millions of hours of real world testing to heart. The total amount of worthwhile content makes paying full price for most other games feel like a crime. Treyarch has closed the gap between its games and the Modern Warfare franchise with boundless customization, a keen sense of what makes the formula a success, and listening to fans. You won't regret answering the call once again.
Gamespot's good and bad parts of the game were:
- Thrilling variety throughout campaign
- Fractured story creates an intriguing atmosphere
- New multiplayer currency system is invigorating
- Combat training lets anyone enjoy multiplayer excitement
- Theater lets you share and enjoy triumphs and failures.
- Short campaign.
But overall, its not what the reviewers think. Its what you the fans think. Better or Worse then Modern Warfare 2? Let us know what you think of the game below.

The game is positioned as a rather fun and addictive, so it makes no sense to delay - download and install, on a course already understand. But there is a game and are legitimate advantages, such as:
* Battle your way to the top of leaderboards in four new categories!
* Prizes and flags awarded in each leaderboard category for finishing among the top 10 players

Dear Friend of the Hellenic Institute,
Here are some of the highlights of the Institute's activities over the past year. Some you will know about and may have taken part in, others may come as news to you
February: Socrates Visitor
Dr Constantine Belezos, head of the Theological School in Athens, was an academic visitor to the Institute under the Socrates Programme. Later in the year, another visitor from the Theological School, Dimitrios Panagiotopoulos, arrived to conduct his doctoral research on St John Chrysostom's interpretation of St Paul's teachings on the salvation of Jews and Gentiles, during the present academic year (2003-4).
Other academic visitors during the year included Professor Costas Constantinides of Ioannina University and Dr Evangelia Georgitsoyanni of the Harkopian University in Athens.
May: Presentation of the Porphyrogenita
An honorary volume, entitled Porphyrogenita, was presented to the Director of the Hellenic Institute, Julian Chrysostomides, at a Ceremony at King's College London. Edited by Charalambos Dendrinos, Jonathan Harris, Eirene Harvalia-Crook and Judith Herrin, the volume consists of thirty-four articles by fellow scholars, colleagues and former students.
In her address, Professor Herrin paid tribute to Miss Chrysostomides' remarkable achievement both as a distinguished scholar and a dedicated and inspiring teacher. In reply, Miss Chrysostomides emphasized the important role Royal Holloway played in establishing Byzantine Studies in the University of London, under the guidance of Professor Joan Hussey. This tradition continues to flourish, providing the present generation of students with the opportunity to explore and appreciate the Byzantine legacy to European civilization.
May: Hellenic Institute Lecture
Professor John Barron gave the third Hellenic Institute lecture at Royal Holloway on 'Westward Christian Soldier: St George before the Crusades', and traced how an obscure Greek from Asia Minor came to be one of the most popular military saints in Christendom.
May: Remembering the Fall
2003 saw the 550th Anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks (29 May 1453). A number of conferences were held to mark this event. Two Friends of the Hellenic Institute, Jonathan Harris and Christopher Young, attended conferences in Nuremberg and Granada. Next year is the 800th anniversary of the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade
September: Award of Studentships
The Nikolaos Oikonomides one-year fees-only studentship was awarded to Dawn Thomas who has enrolled MPhil/PhD research on Galen's dietetics under the supervision of Peregrine Horden. This studentship is funded solely by donations from the Friends of the Hellenic Institute.
Eugenia Russell received the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomaios I Studentship for her MPhil/PhD research into the Byzantine Hymnographical Tradition of St. Demetrius, supervised by Julian Chrysostomides and Charalambos Dendrinos. This studentship was established by the Orthodox Cultural Association of Athens, thanks to a generous donation by Mrs Angeliki Frangos in memory of her late mother Stela N. Frangos. It is named in honour of the current patriarch of Constantinople.
A number of awards were made from the George of Cyprus fund, financed by the Cypriot Ministry of Education and Culture, as follows:
Stella Chrysochoou, MPhil/PhD, The Manuscript Tradition of Claudius Ptolemaeus 'Geographike Hyphegesis' in the Palaeologan Period and the Renaissance (13th-15th Century) (Supervisors: J. Chrysostomides, and Charalambos Dendrinos): £600
Stavroula Kiritsi, MPhil/PhD, Characters in Menander's Comedies (Supervisor: Nick Lowe): £500
Fevronia Nousia, MPhil/PhD, Byzantine Textbooks of the Palaeologan Period (Supervisors: J. Chrysostomides and Charalambos Dendrinos): £200
Dmitri Tolstoy-Miloslavsky, MPhil/PhD, The Italian Policy of Manuel I Comnenus, 1143-1180 (Supervisor: Jonathan Harris): £300
October: New Research Fellow
Thanks to grants from the Greek Ministry of Culture and from Royal Holloway's History Department, a six-month post-doctoral Research Fellowship in Post-Byzantine Studies has been established. The Fellowship was advertised worldwide and Dr Lia Chisacof, a member of the Romanian Academy of Arts and Sciences, was appointed to the post. Apart from her own research project on the eighteenth-century Greek playwright Zacharias Karandinos, Dr Chisacof will be organizing a series of seminar meetings on Post-Byzantine Studies next term. For details, click here.
October: Congratulations!
To Eleni Rossidou-Koutsou whose PhD thesis on 'John Eugenikos' Antirrhetic of the Act of Union of the Churches at the Council of Ferrara-Florence' has now been accepted by the University of London. And to Liz Potter who has won the University of London's George Grote essay prize in Ancient History.
October: Cyprus Lectures
A series of lectures on the History and Culture of Cyprus, sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus and jointly organised by the Institute and The Hellenic Centre in London, were held during the autumn, to celebrate the accession of Cyprus to the European Union.
Nine distinguished scholars of Cypriot origin or attached to the University of Cyprus gave lectures which covered almost the whole period of Cypriot history from the prehistoric period, through antiquity, to the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine eras. The last lecture brought the story up to the present day. For details of the lectures, click here.
The lectures will be all published in a special volume. The Institute is greatly indebted to Dr Maria Kalli and Mrs Agathi Kalisperas for their hard work in organising and administering the lectures.
Throughout the year: Institute staff members have been hard at work on a number of collaborative research projects. Rosalind Thomas is involved with the Landmark Herodotus, a new accessible translation with maps to be published in the USA. She is also one of directors of the Workshops on Literature and Performance at the School of Oriental and African Studies which look at a range of literatures heard in performance, including ancient Greek, from a comparative standpoint. Julian Chrysostomides and Charalambos Dendrinos continue their preparation of the Lexicon of the Abbreviations and Ligatures in Greek Minuscule Hands, c.800-c.1600.
A number of publications by Institute staff have appeared since the last newsletter. Here are some of them:
Julian Chrysostomides, 'Symbiosis in the Peloponnese in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade', in Byzantium. State and Society: Studies in Memory of Nikolaos Oikonomides (eds.), A. Avramea, A. Laiou and E. Chrysos (Athens: Institute for Byzantine Research), pp. 155-67

As the John Curtis softball team gets ready for the annual Louisiana High School Athletic Association's Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament in Sulphur, it is as a reigning champion — but not as a defending champion.
After winning back-to-back Class 2A titles, the Patriots have moved up to Class 3A this season. That means that they will not get to defend their title and there will be a new 2A champion. There also will be a new 3A champion, and the Patriots are one of eight teams in the hunt.
Curtis is 27-2 and the No. 1 seed in Class 3A. On Friday, the Patriots take on No. 8 seed Evangel Christian Academy in a noon quarterfinal. The winner will advance to Saturday morning's semifinal against the Buckeye-Notre Dame winner. The winner of that game will advance to the state championship game at 7 p.m.
Patriots coach Jerry Godfrey said the move up in classification will make for an interesting trip, but not much else will be different for his team.
"The competition is just so much better," he said. "But everything else is pretty much the same.
"We're pretty much the same team we had last year, except for our center fielder. We're a senior-laden ballclub.
"For the kids, that makes it easier because they know what to expect. They don't have any questions about (the trip), and they know what to expect. Friday, we're going to get up and go play the game."
The Patriots are also familiar with Evangel, a three-time champion, from 2009-11. But in 2012, Curtis defeated the Eagles 2-0 for the Class 2A title. That game saw then-sophomore pitchers Katie Brignac of Curtis and Carolina Sanchez of Evangel in an epic showdown. Today's game will see them meet again.
"She was very good three years ago, and she's very good now," Godfrey said about Sanchez.
Sanchez pitched a perfect game in her team's 8-0 bidistrict victory over Patterson.
But the Patriots put their faith in Brignac, who led her team to a 25-0 season as their only pitcher in 2012. This year things are a little different in that Brignac has junior Peyton Pigniolo backing her up. The two have shared pitching duties this season.
"It is good," Brignac said. "If I ever do get in trouble, I do have someone to come in and help me out. My sophomore year, it was all on me. It is good to know I have someone there. It takes a little of the pressure off of me."
"She is really picking it up this year," Godfrey said. "She's really a very good pitcher."
And Curtis is a very good team on a mission.
"For the seniors, it's our last time," Brignac said. "We don't get another chance. And it's a bond we have. We've all been together since the seventh grade."
