51 Days Until Night Racing Returns to the Last Great Colosseum
Scoring its third NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win of the season, the No. 51 truck rocketed into Bristol Motor Speedway's Victory Lane in August 2009.
Showing the way for 82 of 200 laps, the Kyle Busch-driven machine survived five cautions en route to the win.
"I love this place. It's fun for all drivers," said Las Vegas, Nev. native. "It's a fun place to race, and for some reason I have really taken to the new surface."
Busch, who holds the distinction of hoisting the track's legendary trophy more times than any other driver, broke the then record-setting consecutive win streak of eventual 2009 NCWTS Points Champion Ron Hornaday, Jr.
"You want to be that guy that sets those records and does all that stuff," the 15-time Bristol winner remarked in his 2009 post-race interview. "I want to be the Ron Hornady. It's cool what Ron's done - that's very, very good. I was proud that we were able to him tonight."
In 51 days, Busch and his counterparts attempt to again rewrite the history books on the banks of the Last Great Colossuem. Tickets for Wednesday's night doubleheader - the Whelen Modified 150 and UNOH 200 presented by ZLOOP - start at just $35 for adults with free entry for children 12 and under.
Cost to experience a full weekend of racing at the famed short track begins at only $99 and includes the Wednesday doubleheader plus Friday's Sprint Cup knock out qualifying runs and the newly extended Food City 300 along with Saturday's fight under the lights at the IRWIN Tools Night Race.

Demo Mobile may not be as big as E3 or CES, but the mobile-focused event attracts startups and companies looking to share their latest wares and ideas. While many of the products and services on display at this week's conference in San Francisco are still in the early stages of development, they paint an interesting portrait of what to expect in the mobile world in the not too distant future.
I spent some time at Demo Mobile this week and found four products and services worth watching in the coming year. Some of them may never make it to market, but they are just too cool not to share.
Paging Dr. Smartphone
If I had the Kinsa Smart Thermometer, then maybe I could have avoided unleashing the plague upon the TechHive offices a few weeks back. The thermometer plugs into your smartphone and uses an app to take your temperature. The app keeps track of any symptoms you're feeling and will show you maps of the surrounding areas so you know what illnesses have been making the rounds. You'll also be able create private groups to track illnesses within certain circles—something that Kinsa hopes will appeal to parents who might be worried their kids will catch something from their classmates.
The thermometer accessory is currently making its way through the FDA, and the app will initially only be available for iOS. (The company plans to expand to other devices shortly after launch.) Kinsa currently has an IndieGogo page set up for additional funding and hopes to launch both the thermometer and app sometime this fall.
Program like a pro
What if you could control your tablet from your Fitbit fitness gadget? Or set your smartphone to tweet every time you played with your Sphero? Normally these types of interactions would require you to have a degree in software engineering and a few hours of free time to get going. But MakerSwarm, one of the nerdier products featured at Demo Mobile is an app that lets you program these sort of interactions between connected devices without knowing a lick of code.
Developed by research agency Maya, the app (which is still in alpha) runs on Android and takes advantage of the OS's intents framework to access the features of the particular device you're connecting to. So if you're hooking up your Sphero to your phone, you can have the Sphero activate the phone's camera every time the remote-controlled orb moves a certain way. Connecting devices is as easy as drag-and-drop, and there seems to be no limit to the number of devices you can connect together. Maya introduced MakerSwarm by using a Sphero to launch three remote-control AR Drones that were steered by an employee wearing a fitness tracker. Pretty awesome stuff.
No word on when the app will be publicly available, so it might be a while before you can connect all of your smart devices together to create your own makeshift Skynet.
Your own personal satellite
Speaking of Skynet, Nanosatisfi's entire presentation centered around launching a Skynet of your very own. (The satellite, not the evil computer from the Terminator franchise.) The company ran a successful Kickstarter campaign last summer with the goal of creating affordable personal satellites that people could load up with their own software. The satellites can also be used to take photos and video, though the satellites aren't permanent and will eventually burn up as they fall back to Earth.
Nanosatisfi is still working on getting the costs of its satellites down to several hundred dollars. If the company proves successful, its dream of a future where everyone has their own object in orbit may soon become a reality.
Gamifying Beer
The creators of the Beer Hunt app for iOS have an even loftier goal than the folks over at Nanosatisfi—they aim to make beer even more enjoyable. To that end they've created an app that lets you "check-in" and score points every time you throw back a cold one. Beer Hunt currently has more than 5000 beers in its database, though it seems to be missing quite a few local Bay Area beers such as Trumer Pils.
As you log your drinks, Beer Hunt will begin to recommend beers based on your preferences. The point of the app isn't to drink a lot—Beer Hunt stops awarding you points if you keep checking in with the same drink—but rather to encourage you to try beers you otherwise wouldn't. The app is available for free from the iOS App Store right now; just remember to drink responsibly.
This story, "Beer and satellites: Our favorite Demo Mobile 2013 products" was originally published by TechHive.

My kids have pink eye. And sinus infections. And ear infections. And chronic sugar cravings. The main problem right now is the pink eye. My eyes itch just typing this because deep in my heart I know that if they have a disease, I will soon contract said disease. We all like to share unless our name is Wanda and we are two years old. Then we do everything in our power not to share but we have no control over the social nature of our communicable diseases.
I got to spend some quality time with our pediatrician today and he asked all the standard health questions. He even asked some in-depth questions about my kids' hygiene, sleeping arrangements and risk factors for germ transmission. At one point, I laughed and said, "No, they don't share a bed but Wanda likes to stick as many different toothbrushes in her mouth as she can."
He should add that question to the list – Does your child suck on anyone else's toothbrush recreationally? Because she does. When I catch her doing it, I rinse the brush out and sometimes even put it through a cycle in the dishwasher. She doesn't try to hide this fetish. On the contrary – when she gets one or two or ten borrowed toothbrushes, she jams them into her mouth and yells, "Wanda TOOTHBRUSH! Wanda TOOTHBRUSH!" until someone acknowledges her and confiscates the brushing implements by force.
I would like you to take a moment and guess whether or not Magoo just yelled as I was typing this, "Mom! Wanda just licked the wall!" I'll give you the answer. He did. Maybe the doctor should ask that too – Do your kids ever lick the walls? How about – Do your kids ever lick each other's faces while laughing hysterically? So yes. We are good communicators… or communicable-ators around here.
Also, rather than ask if the kids' appetites have changed, he should ask if they ever eat anything at all that I want them to eat. Sometimes, but it has nothing to do with them being sick or not. Then I'd ask him if, since Congress made pizza a vegetable, he could make gold fish crackers a fruit.
He should also probably ask:
Do your kids eat food they find on the floor?
Do they cover their mouths when they cough or flail around spastically with their arms at their sides for maximum germ disbursement?
Do your kids really wash their hands if they think you're not watching them or do they opt for a quick rinse?
Do they drop wet lollipops on the floor of the van and then try to pick the lint off before shoving them back in their mouths?
Do they ever suck on the bar of the shopping cart during flu season?
Do they know perfectly well what boogers taste like?
But he doesn't ask these things, probably because he has three kids of his own so he already knows the answers. For now I just try to remember that I no longer lick walls or steal other people's toothbrushes and I'm very gifted at washing my hands. This wasn't always the case and I somehow grew to maturity... if this is maturity.

Sneaky service tactics
Recently I was in a restaurant in LA having a few beers with friends on a Bar/restaurant patio when our server insisted we paid the bill as she was going on a 30 minute break!!!! Alarms bell started to ring in my head, 25 years in the business and Im being told I need to cash out and open another tab!!! Why would I do that?, and more importantly why should I be expected to do that?? Now for us savvy industry professionals we now the reason for this request, its the fear of losing the check gratuity, fair enough however that is an internal business issue not a consumer issue, why should a guest be confronted with this demand, and more importantly what lasting impression does this have on your establishment ..as we all know lasting impressions are just if not more important than first impressions.
Has anyone else out there encountered this sneaky service tactic?
It's not sneaky. Everyone needs a break, and in some states it is the law. Me, if I was just drinking beer, I would have sat at the bar. Maybe you hadn't indicated that you needed service in a while, so you guys were just camping out at the table, with no further service necessary. So logically the check could be closed out.

service etiquette
thanks for your opinion,
All for giving my staff breaks and understand the legalities and have no issues with that, understand your point to a degree, however if it were my bar/ restaurant and my staff were communicating that to my customers I'd be furious.
Suppose it's a Bar / Restaurant management debate.
From a customer service perspective why would I want to inconvenience my customers, for me it's all about the overall customer experience. Isn't that were establishments gain incremental business.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.-- 'You are so brave." It's a sentiment Nancy Crowe, a 36-year-old physical education teacher at McCarthy-Tezler School, in Spartanburg, S.C., hears often these days.
But she said the choice she is making isn't a matter of bravery.
"It's just about doing something that needs to be done," she said.
Crowe is having a preventative double mastectomy — a surgery in which both breasts are removed — on June 19.
"I've got something inside me that can make me sick," she explained in simple terms to her 5-year-old son, Jon-Walker. "So I don't get sick, I am going to have surgery and get it taken out."
In 1988, when Nancy was 11, her mother, Sharon Morrow, who was also a teacher, lost her battle with breast cancer.
The Herald-Journal in Spartanburg printed stories about Morrow when she was undergoing experimental therapy in Nashville, Tenn. However, the therapy wasn't clinically proven or FDA approved. But Morrow was dedicated to fighting breast cancer and unwilling to throw up her hands in defeat.
"You try anything and everything you can," she said at the time.
Morrow inspired her daughter.
As Crowe grew older, she began focusing on cancer prevention and detection. She started getting yearly mammograms at age 25, and then, when her son, Jon-Walker, was born, she began discussing cancer and her family history with her gynecologist.
Like her mother, she was willing to do whatever it took to stay healthy and stay alive — not just for herself, but for her family.
"I don't want my son or my husband (Rob) to go through what me and my dad went through," she said recently from her home in Moore.
She says she met with a clinical genetic counselor in 2008 and had genetic testing done. The results found that she had the BRCA 1 mutated gene.
BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 are types of tumor-suppressing genes, according to the National Cancer Institute. In normal cells, those genes help stabilize the cell's DNA and prevent uncontrollable cell growth. But harmful mutations in BRCA genes can lead to breast or ovarian cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute, about 12 percent of all women will develop breast cancer sometime in their lives. But for women with a harmful BRCA mutation, the risk of breast cancer quintuples to 60 percent.
Given her family history, Crowe said her risk of breast cancer was as high as 87 percent.
After deliberation, many meetings with oncologists and much prayer, she decided to have a preventative mastectomy.
"With my family history, and now with me knowing I carry the gene, (cancer) is something I don't want to have to look over my shoulder and worry about anymore. ... If I can do something to have a little bit of control over this, that is what I am going to do."
In a newspaper story printed after Morrow died, her husband, Kenneth, spoke of how brave she was.
And while the experimental treatments didn't help her, Kenneth felt sure they would help someone down the road.
"One of her desires," he said at the time, "was, if they couldn't help her, (it) could help someone else."
Crowe says it's her turn to do something that could affect others.
"In 1988, my mother chose to do something that could have a future impact on breast cancer," Crowe said. "It's my turn now."
Oncologist's view
Some might call Crowe's decision brave.
Dr. Barry Hird, a surgical oncologist at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, calls it something else.
"I'd call it smart," he said. "Given her scenario, I think she is smart to do it because she is at significant risk. Pretty easily, and pretty safely, we can take this risk and just about squash it to just about a 1 percent risk.
"Even though the double mastectomy and the reconstruction is a lot to take on, it's nothing compared to six months of chemotherapy or radiation," he said.
But every woman doesn't need to go to a genetic counselor or get tested for BRCA, a process that Hird says costs about $3,000.
"If you think your family history is really worrisome and you think you might be a BRCA carrier, just ask your family doctor or gynecologist," Hird said.
If it's a problem, he said, they will refer you to an oncologist who can advise accordingly.

Subject: PANUPS: GE Crops Expand in China
Article: 125491
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
In 1988, China's genetically engineered (GE) tobacco became the first GE crop in the world to be grown commercially. Production of the crop was halted in the mid-1990s, however, due to rejection of GE crops in export markets. Undeterred by this false start, Beijing has recently forged ahead into the brave new world of biotechnology, testing over 100 genetically engineered crops since 1997. Despite recent regulation of GE crops and products, government-supported research continues as China looks for ways to achieve self-sufficiency in food production and gain an edge in the growing biotech industry.
China is very concerned about raising yields of crops to enhance
its food security. Biotechnology offers high hopes, according to a
Chinese agronomist quoted in a Reuters report. The government also
hopes the biotech industry will continue to lure back Chinese
scientists who left the country to study and work abroad.
China's biotech industry is dominated by government research institutes and universities, some of which are developing state owned enterprises to market their products. Only a few foreign firms have contracted with Chinese institutes to conduct biotech research because of China's weak intellectual property laws. Several foreign seed companies have formed joint ventures with Chinese state owned enterprises, a requirement for selling seeds of major food crops in China. Most are currently focused on the conventional seed market, but Monsanto and Delta and Pine Land have established a joint venture with the Hebei Provincial Seed Company to sell GE cotton seed.
Transgenic Bt cotton is the most widely grown GE crop in China, with estimates ranging from over 700,000 hectares to one million hectares, or about one-third of the total cotton crop. GE proponents in China point to the success of Bt cotton in greatly reducing pesticide use, and reducing overall production cost for farmers by 20%. However, according to some reports, the cotton bollworm has already developed resistance to Bt in two provinces in China.
Other commercialized GE crops include tomato, sweet pepper and petunia. Recent biotech research and development in China has spawned many more not-yet-commercialized products, including two species of Bt rice engineered to be resistant to the pyralid moth. In July, China announced development of genetically engineered tomato, eggplant and hot pepper plants that could be irrigated with seawater. Additional research is targeting rice, canola and wheat. By transferring genes of salt-tolerant plants like the mangrove into fresh-water crops, Chinese scientists claim that transgenic plants have survived seawater irrigation for four generations.
In May 2001, the government issued new regulations for genetically
engineered products that require mandatory labeling and safety
assessment. The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for certifying
non-GE exports, and approving GE imports, and has the authority to ban
production, processing and trading of any GE product that is proven
hazardous. So far no GE imports have been banned, but the regulations
imply that sales of some GE products may be restricted to certain
areas within China. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Trade
Information Center,
The regulations are vague, leaving most of the
details to the agencies tasked with enforcement.
Because the new regulatory process will slow crop approvals for commercialization from three months to nine months, Monsanto, the largest seller of Bt cotton in China, estimates the new data requirements will delay commercialization of its Bt maize for at least a year.
Rejection of GE products by European markets and governments was the most direct cause for the new GE labeling restrictions in China. In 2000, Britain banned the import of Chinese soy sauce containing GE soybeans -- soybeans grown in the U.S., but processed in China.
Some argue China's latest regulations on GE crops serve to strengthen
the domestic biotech industry while restricting competition with
foreign (mainly U.S.) biotech companies. When the European Union
announced its four-year GE moratorium, Chinese biotech scientist Chen
Zhangliang wrote,
We can take advantage of this four-year halt to
turn China into a world power in genetically modified organisms.
Meanwhile, a small but growing number of Chinese activist groups are
educating the public about the risks of GE food. Lo Sze Ping of
Greenpeace Hong Kong said,
I think people in Hong Kong realize that
genetic engineering isn't just found in international markets
anymore. Now they're wondering about what they buy at their local
supermarket. Governments in Hong Kong, and in Taiwan, are
advocating stricter GE food labeling standards, despite industry

SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (AP) - Governors of three states donned coats, hair nets and goggles to tour a main production plant for "pink slime" last Thursday, hoping to persuade grossed-out consumers and grocery stores to accept the processed beef trimmings are as safe as the industry insists.
Three governors and two lieutenant governors spent about a half-hour touring Beef Products Inc.'s plant to show their support for the company and the thousands of jobs it creates in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Texas.
"It's beef, but it's leaner beef, which is better for you," Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said after watching a presentation of how the textured beef product is made and taking a walking tour of the plant.
Beef Products, the main producer of the cheap lean beef made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts, has drawn extra scrutiny because of concerns about the ammonium hydroxide it treats meat with to slightly change the acidity of the beef and kill bacteria. The company suspended operations at plants in Texas, Kansas and Iowa this week, affecting 650 jobs, but it defends its product as safe.
While the official name is lean finely textured beef, critics dub it "pink slime" and say it's an unappetizing example of industrialized food production. That term was coined by a federal microbiologist who was grossed out by it, but the product meets federal food safety standards and has been used for years.
The politicians who toured the plant - Branstad, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy and South Dakota Lt. Gov. Matt Michels - all agree with the industry view that pink slime has been unfairly maligned and mislabeled and issued a joint statement earlier saying the product is safe.
The officials spent about 20 minutes going over the production process in a separate room at the plant with Craig Letch, the company's director of quality assurance, viewing and handling more than a dozen slabs of raw meat and the processed, finished product laid out on a round wooden table.
None of the officials tasted the product during the tour, but Branstad and Perry were among those munching on burgers made from it at a news conference afterward.
"It's lean. It's good. It's nutritious," Branstad said as he polished off a patty, sans bun.
The politicians defended the plant and the product, and accused the media of creating a controversy over a product because of the name critics gave it.
"If you called it finely textured lean beef, would we be here?" asked Sheehy.
The officials donned hard hats, hair nets and goggles for a brief walking tour of the facility. Workers manned conveyor belts of meat cuts that ran from one side of the room to the other in the chilled room; the ammonium hydroxide treatment process was not visible.
Larry Smith, with the Institute for Crisis Management public relations firm, said he's not sure the makers of pink slime - including Cargill and BPI - will be able to overcome the public stigma against their product at this point.
"I can't think of a single solitary message that a manufacturer could use that would resonate with anybody right now," Smith said.
Russell Cross, a former administrator of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, said the product is getting a bad rap from a food safety standpoint.
"I'm not saying it's perfectly safe. Nothing is perfectly safe. All food is going to have bacteria in it. But this product has never been in question for safety," he said.
Cross said that ammonia is just one tool designed to reduce bacteria and help make the food safer. The process Cargill uses, by comparison, uses citric acid to achieve similar results.
The finished product contains only a trace of ammonia, as do many other foods, and it's meant just to be an additional "hurdle for the pathogens," said Cross, who is now head of the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University.
The ammonium hydroxide BPI uses is also used in baked goods, puddings and other processed foods.
National Meat Association spokesman Jeremy Russell said if consumers insist on eliminating the product from ground beef, prices will go up and lean beef trimmings will have to be imported to replace it. The process of creating lean, finely textured beef yields about 12 to 15 pounds of additional meat per animal.
Russell said the outcry has already hurt BPI and other meat companies, and could eventually hurt the price that ranchers and feedlots receive for cattle.
BPI did get some good news when Iowa-based grocer Hy-Vee said it would offer beef with and without pink slime because some consumers demanded the option. But larger grocery store chains, such as Kroger, have stuck with their decisions to stop offering beef with pink slime.
The real test may come later this year when school districts purchase meat from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for next school year. The USDA said earlier this month that it would give school districts a choice between 95 percent lean beef that contains the product and less-lean beef without it.
Russell said school districts will have to decide whether they're willing to spend roughly 16 percent more for beef without the product.
The USDA this year is contracted to buy 111.5 million pounds of ground beef for the National School Lunch Program. About 7 million pounds of that is from BPI.
BPI's four plants have a combined daily capacity of about 1.3 million pounds. A study by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association estimates that LFTB adds $250 million annually to the industry.
"We upgrade the value of that animal," said BPI Director of Sales Mike Hesse, at a news conference Monday.

I've been following this thread, even though I'm running an Intel P4EE CPU.
I have a gut *feeling* that we're suffering from a similar problem, but, in my case, it doesn't stop me from booting.
Since I installed the 3.7-rcs, I cannot get my drives to mount in "recovery mode". When I try to go into read/write mode, I get an error dialog saying it cannot mount "/" because it doesn't exist, and so forth, and so on. However, it will boot, during a normal startup.
As a workaround, I've been going to console from the LightDM login screen, and disabling services, instead of using "recovery mode".
Reading thorough this thread, it sounds like you guys aren't getting that far in the boot process -- that's all.
The 3.7-rcs obviously suffer from a litany of issues. Hopefully, we'll overcome them soon.
Just saying...

John Hess is running for the Lancaster County Council District 4 seat. And I am voting for him. Washington and Columbia continue to increase taxes while decreasing services. Federal and state governments are out of control. Things must change.
We can't keep doing the same kind of tax-and-spend in Lancaster County either.
County officials have to learn to control the spending of our tax dollars. The answer is not to continue increasing taxes.
I read lots of posts as to why I should not vote for a particular Republican because he or she voted yes or no on a certain bill. They can't tell you why they voted as they did, since all they read was a headline.
Let's just cut to the chase. President Barack Obama has made this election easy. If you like higher taxes, more debt, higher medical premiums, continued unemployment, more scandals and cover-ups, plus more welfare, Muslims and floods of illegals, then simply don't vote (like in 2012) or vote Democrat.
Nick Pasquine
Freeman Burns is a breath of fresh air. He offers us strength, innovation and a pro-active look into the future of our children.
Our district is growing in leaps and bounds. We have more students to educate and more students for which to build a better future. Mr. Burns will fight for our children, which ultimately means he will also be fighting for a better tomorrow for all.
An accountable and responsible leader is required to help South Carolina move forward. This has not happened in the last four years of Gov. Nikki Haley's administration.
The state needs leadership from both the governor's position and its Legislature. Too many shortcomings and not enough concern for its citizens are apparent in bills introduced, but not passed.
In October, America celebrates the harvest, specifically initiatives to put healthy, locally grown food on our children's plates at school. And it all starts with America's farmers and ranchers.
Many of us who raise our own food, whether in a pot or a small garden, do so as a hobby. If there's too much heat, not enough rain or too many pests, we are disappointed and frustrated, but the love of growing fresh, nutritious foods pulls us through tough times.
It appears, we, Lancaster County, spent two or three thousand bucks in an attempt to determine why the folks across the Catawba don't want us to play on their team or come to their party.
To tell the truth, I seriously doubt if York, Chester and Fairfield counties give a hoot and holler whether any new development ever lands on this side of Interstate 77.
I haven't written to the newspaper in several years. I enjoyed Kershaw resident Charles Ussery's column about the Heath Springs High School's football team during the 1950s. I wanted to let him know how much I liked the column, but I got busy and did not write anything.
Upon moving to Indian Land, I knew I wanted to get involved in my community.
I came across an article in the local paper for an eight-month leadership program sponsored by the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce.
During the course of the program, I was given the opportunity to see how the county operates and how I could get involved.
I bring a background that includes management skills, operations and budgeting, negotiations, sales and marketing and my most valuable skill, common sense.
I heard on television about a man exposing himself to someone at a large department store and how officials were trying to find him.
I don't know the whole story on that situation, but I've witnessed something, that to me, was just as bad.
Recently, I was walking out of a store after my husband and I bought groceries. A boy about the age of 12 or 13 was waiting for either his mother or sister, who was still in the checkout line.
No matter where I look, taxes and spending are out of control. We need someone who will stop the madness and make government live within its means. I'm proud of the job that our county's Congressman Mick Mulvaney, is doing and I want to elect more people like him at all levels of government.
We need to elect John Hess to Lancaster County Council because he's a local businessman and financial consultant.

French-Canadian Beginnings
I am fortunate that my childrens ancestral background is relatively varied; whenever I get tired or frustrated with one ethnic group, I can move to another. This week, well take a look at how I am going to get started on my wifes French-Canadian ancestors, a group I have not really worked on in any depth. While the details of this search will necessarily be in upstate New York and the province of Quebec, the methodology behind the apparent madness will be applicable to virtually any crossing of an international or ethnic border. Much of this methodology has served me well when attempting to cross the pond on lines from Europe as well.
Complete My Research in the United States
I Have My Work Cut out for Me
Based upon my preliminary research, it appears that Maries family had lived in Clinton County, New York, since at least the late 1840s and early 1850s, starting in most cases with her great-grandparents. It is imperative that I work on documenting as much of this lineage with census and local records as possible before searching records in Quebec. Currently the names of Maries four grandparents and four of her great-grandparents are known. Some of these lineages have already been traced into Quebec and are fairly well documentedand then there are some loopholes.
GEDCOM Files?
A Couple of Warnings Are Necessary
Two (most important). I must use these online sources as clues (clues, clues, clues) to further research not as facts to put in my files. In the course of my surfing for this article, I found one message board posting that incorrectly speculated on a parentage of one of the ancestors of Marie a parentage that is already well documented. There were at least two responses of thanks, Ill add that parentage to my database. These GEDCOM files and message board postings are an excellent way for me to get clues, but they provide me with clues, not facts. The quality of the postings can vary greatly. And in one case, they would have led me down the wrong path, had I assumed the posting was correct.
So far, Ive used federal and state census, church, and some local records to create a working family tree of Maries family in upstate New York State. I have some clues based upon Internet sites and postings. Based upon a fairly comprehensive family genealogy published recently, one great-grandparent of Marie has already been traced to some of the earliest settlers of French Canada. The book appears well documented. Consequently for now, I have decided to focus my work on the other branches of Maries family.
Where To?
I will then learn about French-Canadian research in general, paying particular attention to the sources that are unique to this area and to any specialized finding aides. It is imperative that I do this before I just start ordering records and making conclusions.
Where to Learn?
The book Im using to help me get started with my French-Canadian work is Ancestrys French-Canadian Sources. This book contains information on a wide variety of French-Canadian sources, discussing both primary and secondary materials. With chapters authored by eight genealogists, the book was compiled by members of the French Canadian/Acadian Genealogists of Wisconsin.
While Ive spent some time working on these families in New York, I have not yet started working with any records from Quebec. Now I think Im ready to begin that work. I read French-Canadian Sources from front to back and now have a much better idea of what research strategies I should use. I certainly do not remember everything in the book nor am I an expert. However, I am extremely glad that I read the book before I began working on these families in Quebec. And of course, I will pick one family on which to start and not research them all simultaneously. I will not order two hundred rolls of microfilm from my local branch of the Family History Library the next time I visit.
Getting started in a new area usually means wrapping up our research in the old first. Next week, well look at some of Maries families and what my next research step will be based upon what Ive learned about French-Canadian records. I have families where I know the place of birth in Quebec, and some for whom I do not. There are families where I have approximate dates of marriage in Quebec and the maiden name of the wife, but no idea where in Quebec the marriage took place. Next time, well see what options I have.French-Canadian Sources--the book from Ancestry.com

On the strength of a rushing game that averaged 4.1 yards per attempt, and a defense that limited UW-La Crosse to 1.8 yards per rush, UW-Whitewater defeated the Eagles 24-0 at Veterans Memorial Field in La Crosse Saturday to close the season 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
On the opening possession of the game Ryan Wenkman intercepted a Randy Sires pass, turning the ball over to the Whitewater offense at the 21 yard line. The Warhawks covered the 79 yards in nine plays, with 48 of those yards coming on six carries by senior tailback Desmin Ward ending with a 27 yard run by Ward. Eric Kindler's extra point made it 7-0 at 8:53.
And that was it for the first half, with both defenses dominating the remaining 24 minutes. Whitewater had a drive that went backward with three penalties. A La Crosse punt was downed at the one and UW-W couldn't dig out of the hole. La Crosse had an opportunity after returning a punt to the Whitewater 37, but Mykaell Bratchett and Loussaint Minett combined on a sack to take that drive out of field goal range. Another Eagle punt put Whitewater at the seven.
The best opportunity for a score came with La Crosse starting a drive at their 49. They advanced to the Whitewater 25, and appeared to set up a field goal attempt. Place holder Kevin Schams took the snap, and his pass attempt was intercepted by Steve McCollom at the 15.
Late in the half Zak Howard's 18 yard punt return gave UW-W the ball at the La Crosse 42, but with time running down, Matt Behrendt's pass attempt was intercepted by Gavin Marquart at the one.
The Warhawk defense limited La Crosse to 84 yards of offense in the first half, just 15 rushing, and five first downs. Whitewater had 160 yards of offense, 79 of those on the first drive. Sires went 10-13 for 69 yards in the half. Behrendt was 3-11, 1-9 after the first drive, with Ward totaling 57 yards in the first 30 minutes.
The second half started the same as the first, with Whitewater's Ward moving the ball behind the offensive line. Ward accounted for 24 yards, including a run that put him over 1,000 for the season. The drive was stalled, allowing Kindler to put points on the board with a 39 yard field goal to give Whitewater a 10-0 lead at 12:12 in the third.
The Warhawk defense set up the next score, when Sires' pass was deflected by linebacker Ryan Cortez and intercepted by defensive back Brady Grayvold, crediting him with his second pick of the season. That brought the UW-W offense on the field at the UW-L 36. Eight plays later Ward's one yard run, with a Kindler kick, made it 17-0 with 4:27 left in the third.
Late in the third quarter it happened again, this time when an Eagle receiver caught a pass across the middle, but a hit by Warhawk back Andrew Keister forced the ball to the ground where it was recovered by Grayvold at the UW-L 45.
The ensuing drive carried over into the fourth quarter, and ended with a Behrendt to Jake Kumerow 22 yard scoring pass at 13:09 left in the game. Kindler's PAT ended the scoring, with Whitewater leading 24-0.
Late in the game the Eagles got a punt return to the Whitewater 45, and advanced to the UW-W 19, but back-to-back sacks pushed La Crosse out of scoring range.
Whitewater totaled 307 yards on offense, La Crosse 219. Of the 307, 217 came on the ground, while UW-L totaled 52 rushing. Whitewater's defense forced four turnovers (three interceptions, one fumble), and the Warhawk offense had just one turnover. The UW-W defense had five sacks, La Crosse one.
Sires finished the game 18-26 for 167 yards and two interceptions. Wideout Jake Welch caught six balls for 42 yards. The Eagle defense was led by senior linebacker Jack Leahy's nine tackles (four solo), with sophomore defensive back Max Nicholson credited with nine assists. Behrendt went 7-17 for 90 yards for Whitewater. Ward led both teams with 108 yards on 26 carries, with freshmen Nick Patterson adding 71 on 20 attempts. Junior linebacker Cole Klotz made eight solo tackles and added four assists for UW-W.
Ward finished the season with 1,026 yards in ten games, marking the ninth consecutive season, and sixteenth overall, that a Warhawk back has rushed for 1,000 yards.
UW-L ends the season 4-6 overall and 3-4 in the WIAC.
Whitewater Blanks La Crosse in Finale
|UW-Whitewater (7-3)
|UW-La Crosse (4-6)
On the strength of a rushing game that averaged 4.1 yards per attempt, and a defense that limited UW-La Crosse to 1.8 yards per rush, UW-Whitewater defeated the Eagles 24-0 at Veterans Memorial Field in La Crosse Saturday to close the season 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes pens a rant on Windows 8, calling it 'awful': "I'm now ready to sum up my Windows 8 experience with a single word: awful. I could have chosen a number of other words - terrible, horrible, painful and execrable all spring to mind - but it doesn't matter, the sentiment is the same." I've been using Windows 8 Release Preview on both my ZenBook and my regular desktop since its release, and here's my short review: "I like it." Issues a-plenty, but for what is essentially a 1.0 release - not bad. It's a hell of a lot better than other releases which were similar in scope (Mac OS X 10.0, KDE 4.0).

I'm not seeing that actually.
I'm seeing people who deal with change on a daily basis and can distinguish productive change from change as part of a corporate strategy that doesn't benefit end users
Embracing all change is idiotic. Or may be you think the people who rejected Microsoft Bob early on were afraid of change.

Christie O'Sullivan of Average Moms Wear Capes is smart, down-to-earth, and completely irreverent. She is the kind of blogger you read and then think: I wish she were my best friend.
She shares her wise life observations with The Stir (lucky us!) as part of our "12 Days of Gratitude" series for the holidays. See her post below:
I can start this post with so many quips about how things can change in an instant and how you have to appreciate living, but when you put it that way, it seems so trite and so trivial. So overused. Anything can happen. There's no guarantee for tomorrow. Carpe diem.
At 2 in the afternoon yesterday, my friend Nicole and I were "carpe-diem-ing," headed out for our last long run before the marathon this coming Saturday. Ten miles for me, 14 for her, at the Dunedin Causeway. It was really foggy, creepy foggy, really, I called it "creatures from the lagoon" foggy. As the boats would emerge from the fog, I pictured swamp-creatures emerging with them.
It was especially weird because the fog hung over the bridge only in certain places. From where we started running you could see it hanging over the causeway from a distance, but when you were in it, the visibility wasn't as bad as it looked and the microscopic water droplets felt good in the heat.
It blocked out the sun and it was all just very gray. I'd never seen anything like it before there, how the fog hung thickly in certain places and not in others.
We weren't going all that fast, but I knew because of Franken-nerve that I wasn't going to go very fast. Still I knew that finishing 10 miles was going to be a pretty big deal for me, so I was excited for it. We were on our second loop of the 5-mile bridge and approaching a last turnaround when we saw a man sitting on a bench. Because of the fog, I could only see that there was a person sitting there and not who it was yet. Since I'm always cautious to the point of near-paranoia and because there wasn't really anyone else around, I noted this and put myself on pseudo-alert as we approached him.
But as we passed, I took down my alert. He was an older man at least in 60s, with white hair, tall and skinny, and he was stopping for a break with his bike leaning up against the bench. He had on his white earbuds and was listening to music, eating a snack out of a Ziploc baggie. Totally harmless. I laughed at myself.
As we approached the turnaround point where he was sitting, we passed him again; this time we made eye contact as we passed.
He held up his snack baggie as if to offer us some of whatever it was he was eating and we laughed about it. I waved back saying, "No thanks," chuckling to myself that he just offered us his snack. It was cute and it was nice and it made me laugh.
We kept running on, we still had a lot of topics to discuss and about 2 1/2 miles left.
As we were going up the drawbridge and approaching the final mile of our run (we had made it 9 miles, hurrah!), the man we saw on the bench passed us on his bike going up the bridge. He said something to us but neither one of us heard what he said. I think we both assumed it was along the lines of what you say to people you keep recognizing when you keep passing each other when you're out there running or biking in the same place.
A few feet later as we reached the top of the bridge, all the cars were stopped.
Some people were hunched over looking at something, some were milling around, and we slowed up a little because I was waiting to see the lights from the drawbridge to signal the drawbridge was about to go up.
It took a minute for it to sink in that there had been an accident on top of the bridge and that's why everyone was stopped.
And there was the man.
He was on the ground, bleeding.
People were trying to help him and one man said he didn't have a pulse and did anyone know CPR? And I said to Nicole, "What should we do oh my God that's the man!" And she ran down one side of the bridge yelling into cars if anyone knew CPR and I ran down the other side yelling into cars, "Does anyone know CPR!" and I kept passing cars with people saying "no" and noting to myself how many of us don't know CPR and also noting that it's amazing how your legs that were concrete just seconds ago in the ninth mile become amazing once adrenaline is running through them. I found a couple who knew CPR and they ran with me to the man.
There were a few people involved who knew CPR and it's amazing how helpful everyone is in someone's time of need. There was teamwork, there was counting, one person was on the phone with 9-1-1, and there were others trying to fix him. Others, like me, were praying.
It took forever for paramedics to arrive, but when you're watching people work to get someone to breathe again, every second feels like an eternity.
All I could do on the side was pray and cry and beg for him to begin breathing, sit up, and wave everyone off like everything was ok.
But paramedics arrived and they continued the work that the bystanders had begun.
We didn't know quite what to do and a deputy asked us why we were still there and my first answer in my mind was, "He offered us a snack!" which sounded ridiculous in my head, I mean, doesn't it? But it wasn't the snack, it was the gesture, and there are so few moments of strangers being kind to strangers and I think that's why it stuck with me. And I didn't want to go before I knew he was ok.
I thought about who was going to be notified, does he have family, who would take his bike home for him, what was going to happen next, would he be ok?
The deputy yelled at everyone to leave and so we walked back to our cars without a resolution, but I thought that if he survived, I would find him and visit him because I felt oddly drawn to him. Perhaps it was just the snack and the laugh or the camaraderie we shared with him on the bridge on the way to the top, I don't know.
So our walking turned to running back to our cars and have you ever run while crying? It feels as if you're hyperventilating.
We got to the end of the run, and we hugged and parted ways because Nicole still had four to run and I asked her to find out what happened when she went back toward the drawbridge to finish them.
On the way home, I was numb and still shaking. I drove to my church where there was a service going on and I snuck around toward the side, still in my running gear. I knelt down and cried and prayed for him and I lit a candle for him and I left.
I found out later that he didn't make it. He hit a branch at the top of the drawbridge and he was thrown over his handlebars.
The thing is, I still can't get his face out of my mind. Sitting there on the bench offering us his snack, listening to his music, without a word.
How could any of us had known what was about to happen? Why, on this day, that moment? Why? If I think about it too hard, I could get angry. I could want to rewind time and maybe wish I'd have stopped, and if I had, would it have mattered?
But there is no "why." I wrote about this just yesterday. I can't answer why I can only rely on faith.
Earlier that morning, the homily at my church was about living the two most important principles: number one, loving God with everything in you, and number two, LOVING EACH OTHER as you love yourself. And when you live those two, you cannot go wrong. Even if you're not the praying type, I still don't know how you could go wrong by living the latter.
At the very least in life, we have kindness.
I know absolutely nothing about the man on the bridge, but I do know that in his last moments here on Earth, he was kind to strangers.
And that strangers were kind to him.
The news stories about the bicycle accident on the Dunedin Causeway don't tell the story of the kindness I saw on the bridge, that we witnessed first-hand.
From the moment we saw him on the bench to the moment we left the causeway. I am grateful for those moments, and for the rest of my life, I will remember Henry Ellowitz.
We've learned over the past week especially that things can change in an instant.
I have no idea when my last moment will be, but if I could choose, wouldn't I want them to be being kind to someone else?
Yes. I would.
And I will remember that he did.
Has anything this life changing ever happened to you?

Number: 110-11
Date: August 24, 2007
House Passes H.R. 404, " Federal Customer Service Enhancement Act "
On July 23, 2007, the House passed H.R. 404, the Federal Customer Service Enhancement Act. On July 24, 2007, the bill was received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Among other provisions, the legislation would require the establishment of customer service standards for Federal agencies, including SSA.
Upon enactment, the House-passed bill would:
• Require the Comptroller General and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to jointly develop performance measures and standards to determine whether Federal agencies are providing high quality customer service;
• Require the head of each Federal agency to collect information from its customers regarding the quality of its services and to include such information in the agency's Performance and Accountability Report;
• Direct the head of each Federal agency to assign an employee to be the customer relations representative of the agency;
• Require each Federal agency to include its address and phone number on any agency stationery. In the case of correspondence originating from a regional or local office, the agency would be required to include the address and phone number of the regional or local office on the stationery; and
• Require the Comptroller General to report on each agency's customer service performance no later than two years after enactment. The report could be used by Congress as well as the Director of OMB to update performance measures for customer service. Compliance with customer service standards would, to the extent practicable, be an element of each agency's performance appraisal system.

News and Events: Press releases
UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy on Beijing+10
UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy on Beijing+10:
Ten years ago, at the time of the Beijing Conference on Women, I had just begun my job as Executive Director of UNICEF. Now, as we commemorate Beijing Plus 10, I am only a few months away from leaving UNICEF. So I have come full circle I started with Beijing, last week I actually was in Beijing, and I am talking about Beijing today.
So what have we accomplished for women since that landmark conference 10 years ago? Not nearly enough.
I am sorry to see that positions of power continue to elude women, including here at the UN. I am pleased that my successor at UNICEF is a woman, yet I am dismayed that UNICEF is among the few UN agencies currently headed by a woman. There are of course many present opportunities starting with the openings heading up UNDP and The World Bank.
After 10 years heading UNICEF, Id like to share a few thoughts about the importance of women in all development efforts and a few examples of where they are being grievously overlooked.
Women are central to UNICEFs mission in that their well-being directly impacts families and children. If women are not strong, then families are not strong. If families are not strong, children are in jeopardy. They suffer today and have limited reason to hope for the future.
The importance of women in the lives of children is such that there probably has not been a single day during my decade leading UNICEF that I have not talked in some way about women and girls -- about their rights, the myriad ways that those rights are abused, and the lasting toll this takes on their lives and the lives of their children.
For this I have on occassion been called a radical feminist. I have been accused of singling out girls and women for preferential treatment.
But let us be clear about who is singling out women and girls, and for what.
Since 1990, 90 percent of conflict-related deaths have been civilians, and 80 percent of these deaths have been women and children. All civilians caught up in conflict must battle disease, poor nutrition, and a lack of shelter and healthcare. But evidence shows that men and women are affected differently by armed conflict. Men and boys are forced to fight and kill. Boys are forced to become child soldiers, made to witness and commit despicable acts of violence. The world has addressed the disturbing phenomenon of child soldiers and has embraced the goal of getting them out of the ranks of fighting groups and back into civil society.
But what about the girls and women swept into the horror of conflict?
During the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of rape and sexual violence as a deliberate tactic of war a way of demoralizing and humiliating the enemy and destabilizing entire communities. In situations of armed conflict, girls and women are routinely raped, trafficked, used in prostitution, held by armed groups in sexual slavery, mutilated and forced to carry pregnancies. And we have barely begun to talk about it.
It is decent and right - and not radical -- to demand an end to the systematic rape of girls as young as five and women as old as 85. It is right to insist that governments hold their troops accountable when they are on UN peacekeeping missions. And to provide support, as UNICEF tries to do, to programs providing assistance to girls and women raped during conflict. These are not radical acts, but acts of basic humanity.
When labels like radical feminism are tossed about disparagingly, the end result is that people become reluctant to speak out against discrimination for fear of being accused of promoting special interests. But who else are we to speak on behalf of than those marginalized, discriminated and abused groups who are denied a voice of their own?
In my travels over the years in conflict-ridden areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eastern Europe, and Darfur to name a few, I listened time and again to girls and women tell me how they were too afraid to tell family and community members that they had been raped. But the stigma of rape goes far beyond the village level.
It extends up to the highest levels of power where it unfortunately collides with something even more damaging apathy. In conflicts throughout the world, government authorities simply do not care that thousands of women and children are being raped and the perpetrators are going unpunished.
It is time that we stopped being afraid of talking about the realities of what it means to be a woman or a girl caught up in armed conflict today. The perpetrators of these horrendous crimes against women may be men, but there are also men, and women, in a position to prevent and punish these crimes. They must not be afraid to speak out for and defend the rights of women and children.
In my ten years at UNICEF, I have tried to focus on issues that not only affect children today, but that carry long-term implications for this generation and the next. The rape of girls in armed conflict is precisely that kind of issue a trauma today and a tragedy that shadows tomorrow.

UW Health, SwedishAmerican plan to merge
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin Health and SwedishAmerican Health System, of Rockford, Ill., have plans to merge.
UW Hospital and Clinics CEO Donna Katen-Bahemsky says the Madison-based health group has been in talks with SwedishAmerican for about a year. She says it should take about 90 days to move from a letter of intent to a definitive merger agreement, when SwedishAmerican will become a part of UW Health.
The Beloit Daily News (http://bit.ly/1hSk1lV ) says regulatory approval is needed for the merger, including review by the Federal Trade Commission.
SwedishAmerican is a not-for-profit health system which operates two hospitals, 30 clinics, a home health care agency and a foundation. UW Health is an academic health center anchored by the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, in partnership with UW Hospital and Clinics.

California Department of Transportation
Date: May 21, 2014
District: 5 – Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Benito and Santa
Cruz counties
Contact: Jim Shivers or Colin Jones
Phone: (805) 549-3237 or (805) 549-3189
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY – Caltrans today announced that it has finished construction of the new Estrella River Bridges on State Route 46 East near Paso Robles. The bridges are part of a major, multi-phase $265 million Caltrans project that is upgrading 15 miles of SR-46 East from a two-lane highway to a four-lane expressway between Paso Robles and Shandon.
"The widening of this important transportation corridor linking the Central Valley and the Central Coast will reduce congestion and improve safety for thousands of commuters, tourists and the agricultural industry who rely on this highway," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The new 1,000 feet-long and 100 feet-high bridges replace the original bridge built around 1955.
Here's a breakdown of each phase of the SR-46 East Project:
Phase One: Widened SR-46 East between Airport Road and Geneseo Road. Work was completed in 2010.
Phase Two: Caltrans is widening SR-46 East between Geneseo Road and Almond Drive. Work will be finished this fall. The $80 million project received $50 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
Phase Three: Consists of widening SR-46 East from Almond Drive to McMillan Canyon Road. This work is now underway and will be finished by May 2015. In January 2016, Caltrans is scheduled to begin widening the final section of the highway from McMillan Canyon Road to the Shandon Roadside Rest Area. Construction is scheduled to be completed by October 2018.
