Karen's Village Salon
For affordable family hair care
There is an indescribable sentiment and nostalgia about places like Karen's Village Salon on West Shore Road. This neighborhood salon could easily have been used as a set in the classic movie "Steel Magnolias" - except this place is not a director's vision, it is Karen's - and it is real. Owner Karen De Ciutiis is spirited, quick-witted, warm and engaging. Karen has been in the hair-styling business for 30 years, and is joined by three equally experienced and lively stylists in her friendly Warwick salon. What ties these colleagues together goes far beyond what you would find in a Hollywood movie. These stylists love and care for their largely senior-aged customers. It is this TLC that keeps bringing these customers back for their weekly curls, laughs and good times.
Karen's Village Salon, formerly known as the Conimicut Village Salon, has been at this location for 18 years. Loyal customers like Ruth, Diane and Rita come every week to have their hair coiffed and fussed over, not only because of how they look but because of "how great they feel". When their clients leave here, they feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. Karen and her stylists Melynda, Janice and Darlene ("Dolly") treat their clients like members of their own families. They know what makes them look their best and have the kind of mutual affection that only comes from years of forging friendships, and trust. While everyone is welcome at Karen's Village Salon - each hairdresser has a special affinity for the elderly, and it shows in the way they are pampered when they come in.
Karen's Village Salon is designed especially for their customers. The salon is fully handicap accessible - easy to maneuver canes and walkers throughout, and has generous close parking. Each stylist has her own sink and station - so there is never any waiting. Everything is done to accommodate clients of any age. As Marc, one of Melynda's clients says, "I feel comfortable getting my hair and beard trimmed here. The chit-chat gets me chuckling too".
The stylists keep up with current trends, cuts and techniques. Every kind of hairstyling service is offered, for both men and women. If you have thinning hair or wear a wig, Karen's is just a phone call away. Each hairdresser has years of experience with "roller setting" as well as shaping/styling wigs. Waxing is a newer service that is requested often! This is as traditional and as obliging a salon as there ever was - and above all else, it is extremely affordable.
Karen's Village Salon, located at 459 West Shore Road in the Bay Plaza, is open Wednesday - Saturday. Karen and her stylists are offering five dollars off your first visit!

ADRIAN — Roger Myers greeted a steady stream of well-wishers at an open house reception Friday afternoon as he closed out a career of nearly 40 years leading the development of mental health services in Lenawee County.
"I can't imagine working any other place for 39 years," Myers said.
He is leaving a staff and a community of human service agencies that he said have worked closely together for decades to serve the people of Lenawee County. A culture of cooperation among local agencies has grown since he took over the county's fledgling community mental health agency in 1973.
The agency's only staff when he started was a secretary/bookkeeper, Myers said. There are now 65 people and an annual budget of more than $16 million.
Change is in store for many services provided through the Lenawee County Community Mental Health Authority because of new health care laws. Myers said he is confident his agency is prepared for the future.
"There will be a lot of changes. We're not sure what they're all going to turn out to be, but it's exciting," Myers said.
"We have the right change agents in place," he said.
The agency's new executive director, Sandra Keener, "is a natural successor to me," he said.
Changes in Myers' future are also uncertain, he said. There are no definite plans, he said, but he is looking toward opportunities to continue serving the community.
Myers said he was also uncertain about his future when he came to Lenawee County in 1973.
After college, he said, he had a vague goal of becoming a funeral director and owning his own business. The Illinois native sought work in the Chicago area while his wife completed her college degree. He was sent to apply for a case worker position at Manteno State Hospital. He worked three years at the 8,000-bed facility, becoming an administrator in the geriatric division, he said.
He and his wife were looking to move to Michigan in 1973 and he sent his resume to hospitals across the state, he said. The administrator of Bixby Hospital connected Myers with a newly formed board for a county community mental health agency.
He never looked back after starting down that career path, he said.
Myers said he credits people who served on the agency board as well as officials from other county human service agencies and the county commission for developing a successful program.
"I've had a board that's been united in its mission," Myers said.
While agencies in other counties in Michigan have encountered political conflicts and turf battles, he said, Lenawee County officials and human service workers have developed what he believes is an extraordinary level of cooperation.
Myers' efforts were recognized in resolutions from the Lenawee County Commission and from the Michigan Legislature.
"Under Roger's leadership, the community has been both enlightened and educated on mental health issues," said the county commission resolution, "and this has built a secure foundation for others to recognize and acknowledge mental health issues, the confidence to seek help, and the ability to find the best treatment options available."

TECUMSEH — Preston Pelham picked up a 7-3 decision in the last match of the night, and the Tecumseh High School wrestling team came from behind to beat the Sand Creek Aggies 33-32 in a quad meet Wednesday. The meet was the season opener for the wrestling squads.
The match was the second of the evening for both squads. Tecumseh beat Coldwater 62-18, and Sand Creek lost to Dundee 53-9. The Vikings rolled past the Cardinals 74-4 in their second match of the evening.
"We had some upperclassmen who were injured and that gave our young guys a chance," said Tony Greathouse, Tecumseh coach. "They got thrown right into the fire, and I was pleased with how we responded, mostly. We had some good pins, and we had some bad ones."
The Aggie-Indian match started with the 285-pound weight class as Joey Rebottaro beat Gabe Beaubien 3-0. The meet went back and forth with Tecumseh coming from behind to take a 30-26 lead when 171-pounder Cole Amstutz picked up a technical fall over Mason Moore, 20-5.
However, Charlie Robinson pinned freshman Landon Pelham in 1:02 to put the Aggies up 32-30. Preston Pelham and Garrett Miller had a tight match with the Tecumseh junior holding a slim 2-1 lead after two periods. With both teams on their feet and yelling encouragement, Pelham scored a reversal early in the third period to go up 4-1.
Miller quickly reversed back before Pelham escaped and then got a takedown to go up 7-3 with 48 seconds left. He then rode out the clock, and Tecumseh took home the victory.
"We knew what we were up against coming in here," said Sand Creek coach Marc Spicer. "We knew one team was a Division 3 finalist last year (Dundee) and another was a Division 2 semifinalist (Tecumseh). This will help us get ready for the rest of the season. It was a good practice to start off the year."
Pelham had picked up a pin in his match against Coldwater. Wyatt Cadmus had a pair of pins for Tecumseh, while Amstutz had a pin against the Cardinals to go with his technical fall over Sand Creek.
Also winning twice for the Indians were Ricky Azelton with a pin against Coldwater and a technical fall against the Aggies; Anthony Lesko with a pin and a major decision; Rebottaro won on a void in the first match, and Mitch Meger won the first two varsity matches of his career.
For the Aggies, Knox had a pin against Tecumseh and a decision against Dundee. Robert Standlick picked up a decision against Dundee and a technical fall against Tecumseh. They were the only double winners on the night for Sand Creek.
In the preseason state rankings, Tecumseh was ranked No. 3 in Division 2 and Sand Creek was No. 8 in Division 4. Dundee was the top-ranked team in Division 3.
Tecumseh wrestling defeats Sand Creek at quad

To prepare for thousands of Boulder visitors during the week leading up to the 2014 Ironman Boulder race, the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau has purchased and deployed a new hotel room reservation website.
The website, powered by Canadian company Meeting Max, aggregates available Boulder hotel rooms into one place. A link to the site lives under the travel tab on the Ironman Boulder website. Ironman's parent company, World Triathlon Corporation, receives commission from rooms booked through the site, according to the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director Mary Ann Mahoney.
Registration opened this week for Ironman Boulder, which is set for Aug. 3, 2014. On Wednesday at 10 a.m. MST, many eager athletes said they skipped work or used multiple computers to register for the race because they worried it would sell out.
As of Friday afternoon, spots were still available for the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run. Registration for Ironman Boulder is $675 for general participants and $1,350 for a foundation entry, a portion of which is donated to charity.
Ironman officials would not say how many total spots are available for the 2014 race in Boulder, though other Ironman races have had between 2,800 and 3,100 competitors.
Mahoney said her staff has been meeting with area hotels to explain the new aggregation website and invite them to participate.
"For a first-year race, this is the best way to handle it," said Ironman spokeswoman Beth Atnip.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau purchased the software, though Mahoney declined to reveal how much the Meeting Max site cost. City officials estimate the race will cost the city $71,000 a year. No race dates beyond 2014 have been set.
An economic impact chart provided by Ironman to the Convention and Visitors Bureau estimated that participants and spectators for the event will book 2,500 hotel rooms for an average of four days, Mahoney said. For food and beverage purposes, the Ironman chart estimated that 5,000 people will eat and drink in Boulder, she said.
Those figures are based on research conducted in other cities that have hosted full Ironman races, Mahoney said.
As of Friday afternoon, Ironman participants and spectators had booked 128 rooms through the site, Mahoney said.
She stopped short of saying Ironman required Boulder officials to purchase and maintain the hotel room aggregation site, but she said it was part of the "package" when Ironman decided to host a Boulder race.
Mahoney said she'd been considering a tool like this for the past five years and says it will be used for future events in Boulder. Mahoney said she's still talking with organizers of the 2014 and 2015 USA Cross Country Championships, but said large events like that could benefit from the lodging aggregation site.
Some events contract with hotels in town on their own and may not need a site like this, Mahoney said.
Boulder's "peer" cities, like Louisville, Ky., Madison, Wisc., and Tempe, Ariz., already use similar programs, Mahoney said.
The summer months are some of the busiest for Boulder hotels, she said, and many have only made a percentage of their rooms available to the Ironman aggregation site.
"What may be displaced are some leisure visitors," Mahoney said.
Doug Miller, who will travel to Boulder from Manitoba, Canada, for the race, said he made a reservation at a Loveland recreational vehicle park and will camp before the race rather than book a hotel room.
Miller, 46, said he had "no problems" registering for the race itself, but said he had a harder time finding an RV park that would take reservations more than a year out.
Current Asheville, N.C., resident and University of Colorado alum Caitlin Goforth said she plans to rent a house or apartment in Boulder in the days leading up to the race. Goforth said her family and friends will also travel to Boulder to watch the race.
"(They) have not started that process yet," Goforth said.
Boulder Twin Lakes Inn owner Binesh Prasad said he's received many requests this week for rooms before the race next year. The inn also hosts international running teams throughout the summer, so many of his rooms are already booked for those teams, he said.
"That's the time of year we are the busiest," Prasad said.
Prasad said he's completely booked for this year's half-Ironman race next month. Hosting huge athletic events "puts Boulder on the map," he said.

The Illinois Legislature refused last week to put a referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot that, if passed by voters, would have authorized lawmakers to change the state's constitution from requiring a flat income tax to allowing a graduated income tax.
That's one, small victory for most taxpayers. However:
I believe that in exchange for dropping that plan, legislators will agree either to make permanent the "temporary" 67 percent income tax increase passed in 2011, or they'll extend the tax for four more years.
As you know, the increase, which raised the state's personal income tax rate from 3 percent to 5 percent, is supposed to drop to 3.75 percent in 2015. The corporate rate would drop from a total of 9.5 percent to 7.75 percent.
But reducing the tax, which would help the lagging state economy, poses political problems for both parties. Democrats can't do it because their key constituency — people who work for local governments and the state — would be severely affected by budget cuts.
Republicans, who talk endlessly about wanting to reduce spending, haven't said how they're going to do it, because if they did — well, that would require courage, and this is an election year when the key political attribute is faux outrage, shock and some more outrage.
So, it's in both parties' short-term interests to carry on with the current rates.
Also last week, citizens working to get a "no gerrymandering" amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot delivered nearly 533,000 petition signatures to Springfield, nearly twice as many as needed, and certainly enough to withstand any challenge to signatures' validity.
However, Democrats, who control the legislative mapping process in Illinois, didn't wait for the reformers to file their petitions with the Illinois State Board of Election to begin to plan the amendment's defeat.
They filed a lawsuit to stop it. Michael Kasper, a lawyer close to Illinois Democratic Party Chairman and Speaker of the Illinois House Mike Madigan, filed the suit in Cook County Circuit Court on Wednesday, on behalf of mainly African-American and Latino leaders and business and community groups in minority communities of Chicago.
Plaintiffs argue that the proposed amendment goes beyond the power the constitution allows to citizens trying to bypass the political class and change the law themselves.
The suit also challenges the constitutionality of GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner's 590,000 petitions to put term limits on the Nov. 4 ballot. Democratic defenders of the status quo say the proposed amendments are an evil plot by Republicans to discriminate against minorities and hand the state over to "da welty." (That's "wealthy" in Downstate language.)
It's clear from the massive number of petition signatures both measures received that these are popular ideas among people of all political persuasions in Illinois, a state so corrupt and inefficient that a Gallup poll found that half the people would leave if they could!
Mike Kolenz, leader of the Yes For Independent Maps group that led the petition drive for non-political maps, said in an email that the suit "tells you how desperate they are to keep us off the ballot, and how worried they are at the prospect of a system that puts the voters back in charge. Madigan's blatantly political attempt to question the constitutionality of Independent Maps is just a feeble distraction from the back-room deals that dominate Illinois' redistricting process, no matter which party is in power."
Kolenz continued, defending his group as a broad cross section of the state's population.
"Our diverse supporters include former U.S. attorneys, top-tier legal scholars and many of the state's most well-respected lawyers of all political stripes. This team spent two years making sure our amendment could withstand scrutiny, and we are confident in this proposal. It is exactly the kind of referendum that the drafters of the Illinois Constitution believed should bypass the Legislature and go directly to the voters. After all, the leaders of the Illinois General Assembly have no reason to fix the system that has kept them, and their hand-picked successors, in power for decades."
The map amendment would replace the political redrawing of legislative districts after every U.S. census with a commission that would try to draw district maps that aren't based on where Republican and Democratic voters live. Most people believe that a nonpartisan redistricting plan would increase the number of competitive races, which in turn would spark more citizen interest in voting, and, supporters hope, better and more responsive government.
Rauner's term limits amendment, which would limit legislators to eight years in a particular office starting from when it would take effect, also enjoys widespread support. Democrats also know if it's on the ballot it would help Rauner's campaign. Unless, that is, Gov. Pat Quinn joins in and comes out in strong support, too, making the issue bipartisan and diluting its strength as a wedge issue.

Columbia is 2-11 overall this season and 0-6 in the Ivy League entering Friday's matchup with the Jaspers. The team's latest win was a 16-7 defeat over Fresno State at Robert K. Kraft just days after the Bulldogs edged the Jaspers 11-10.
Columbia will honor its senior class prior to the first draw, which includes: KELLY BUECHEL and KACIE JOHNSON.
On Thursday, April 11, the Tewaaraton Foundation announced the second of two rounds of additions to the Tewaaraton Award Watch Lists, presented by Panama Jack. Two men and nine women have been added to the watch lists, from which the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award winners will be selected and honored May 30, 2013, at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
Behind her consistent stellar play and program record-setting performances this season, senior Kacie Johnson has joined the prestigious watch list. The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and female college lacrosse players in the United States. Endorsed by the Mohawk Nation Council of Elders and U.S. Lacrosse, the Tewaaraton Award symbolizes lacrosse's centuries-old roots in Native American heritage.
Johnson currently ranks as one of the Ivy League's top offensive players, leading the conference in both total goals (44) and points (56). With an average of 3.38 goals per game, the attacker ranks fourth nationally in that category.
Paige Cuscovitch continues to remain atop the Ivy League in ground balls with 39 on the season, which ranks seventh best in the nation. As a team, the Lions lead the conference in ground balls with 262 this season. The team's average of 20.15 ground balls per game stands third best in the country. With 127 caused turnovers, Columbia also leads the Ivy League in that defensive category, and ranks 12th in the national statistics.
With her second score of the game against Dartmouth on March 23, Johnson tallied her 135th career goal. The Wilton, Conn. native is now Columbia's all-time career goals leader with 153 goals, breaking the previous record of 134 held by Holly Glynn ('09CC).
The senior has 237 career points to date, becoming the first Columbia player to reach the 200-point mark. With seven points on Saturday, Feb. 23 in a win over Mount St. Mary's, Johnson surpassed Holly Glynn's ('09CC) mark of 186 points to become the all-time points leader in program history.
Manhattan will enter the Columbia Soccer Stadium on Friday with a 4-11 record on the season. Having dropped the past two outings, this will mark the final game of the regular season for the Jaspers. Carly Eskenazi leads the offense charge with 23 points and a team-high 20 goals.
Harvard has dropped its last six contests and travel to Dartmouth before Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Micaela Cyr leads Harvard with a team highs of 29 goals and12 assists for 41 points. The Crimson ranks sixth in the conference at 1-4 and are 2-10 on season.

LONGMONT -- Fleets of families cycled down downtown Longmont's Main Street on Saturday evening, in one of the highlights of this year's edition of the G'Knight Ride.
As many as 3,000 or more people were expected to participate in the local cycling community's third annual community event, with this year's activities based in Roosevelt Park.
Mark von Minden of Longmont, said he and his 8-year-old daughter, Mia, would be riding alongside each other on a 12-mile cycling course on Saturday night.
"We're excited to be doing the big ride together," von Minden said, adding that despite the length of the run, "it's a relaxing family ride."
The G'Knight Ride also featured 1-mile and 3-mile runs, and von Minden, a member of Bicycle Longmont, said his daughter completed last year's 3-mile route.
As for Mia, she said she was looking forward to the longer event: "It's going to be fun."
The G'Knight Ride's fans aren't limited to Longmont or Boulder County cyclists.
"We're from Greeley, and we thought we'd come down here and do some riding today," said Bob Walch.
Walch said he and his wife, Robyn Hess, traveled here from Greeley, got on their bikes when they arrived and then cycled to Boulder and back on Saturday before joining the afternoon G'Knight Ride crowd starting to converge on Roosevelt Park.
Samantha Otto, who was parking her bicycle and tending to 5-year-old daughter Sofie and 3-year-old son Van while waiting for her husband, Ben Otto, to get there, said this would be her first G'Knight Ride but that "we do the Wednesday night bike rides" sponsored by Bicycle Longmont, "as often as we can."
"It's just really fun to ride in a group," she said, and the community's support for occasions like Wednesday bike nights and the annual G'Knght Ride "is just awesome."
Jennifer Teece of Lafayette said it's "a cool day for the whole family." She said that though this is her third G'Knight Ride, it'll be the first on a two-wheeler for her 4-year-old son, Powell Dawson-Teece, who just graduated to that bike and would be riding the 1-mile loop.
Some of Saturday's attendees sported costumes, as well as cycling gear -- most notably some of the characters who'll be hanging out at next month's Kinetic Sculpture Race, set for July 20 at Union Reservoir.
Cycling wasn't the only sport in the spotlight Saturday. The Boulder County Bombers were there to recruit women to their roller derby team and "burn up the track this summer," demonstrating their own skating skills in a mock game under the Roosevelt Park pavilion.
Nor was everyone there for the cycling-themed vendors and races.
Two sets of grandparents, Dale and Judy Hruby of Cheyenne, Wyo., and Pat and Binky O'Connell of Northglenn, came to watch their granddaughter, 13-year-old Kayla Hruby, do her thing as the lead singer in her Westminster neighborhood band, Wires Crossed, the opening act in an afternoon and night of G'Knight Ride musical entertainment.
"They're an excellent band," Dale Hruby said, "and not just because she's our granddaughter."
This year's G'Knight Ride also featured the Rocky Mountain Bike Festival, a corporation now owned by Scott Conlin, a Bicycle Longmont board member and one of the coordinators of the ride. He said he hopes to turn the Bike Festival over to Bicycle Longmont, with the Bike Festival sponsoring a week of activities leading up to the 2014 G'Knight Ride itself.

Supporters of decriminalization opitimistic medicinal pot will pass SenateBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 28. 2013 7:50PM
CONCORD - Supporters of marijuana decriminalization concede their proposal probably won't pass when it comes up for a Senate vote this week, but they say their major objective this year is enactment of bill to allow its use as "therapeutic cannabis" or medical marijuana.
The Senate will take up a House-passed measure that would reduce the penalty for possession of less than a quarter-once of marijuana to the status of a violation, which would be enforced through the issuance of a ticket.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has recommended, 5-0, against legalization. House-passed decriminalization bills have died in the Senate for the past several years, and supporters expect nothing different this time around.
"The Senate is in the pocket of law enforcement," said Rep. Kyle Tasker, R-Northwood, sponsor of the decriminalization bill. "Nobody wants to go out on a limb for decriminalization when medical (marijuana) is in the chute."
A Senate committee has heard testimony on the House-passed version of legislation allowing use of marijuana for medical purposes but has yet to release a recommendation on the bill.
Gov. Maggie Hassan has expressed reservations about a medical marijuana bill, and supporters speculate that efforts are being made to come up with language that would satisfy the governor's objections.
The state Attorney General's Office, which previously opposed legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, took a different stand at a Senate hearing this month.
The office of the state's chief law enforcement officer is now interested in working on a bill that would legalize the medical use of marijuana but with strict controls on its use.
The goal is to craft a bill that would steer clear of language such as that seen in California, where doctors have sole discretion to decide whether marijuana would help a specific individual and gives physicians immunity from prosecution or medical board discipline if they give medicinal pot to people who don't really need it.
While favoring outright decriminalization of marijuana possession, Tasker said allowing medical marijuana is the priority in the current legislative session.
Looking ahead, Tasker said he sees movement toward both passing the bill allowing medical use of marijuana in the current session and decriminalization in the future.
Tasker said rank-and-file police officers are increasingly in favor of decriminalization.
"One officer may have buddies who smoke marijuana, but a cop who is straight and narrow will come down harder on you," Tasker said. "They shouldn't have discretion; they should have a clear cut directive.
The bill that passed was less liberal than Tasker's original proposal.
He wanted to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less, but after the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee recommended against the measure, it was amended on the floor to decriminalize possession of up to a quarter-ounce and passed, 214-115.
The Senate is scheduled to take up the decriminalization bill at a session Thursday.

NYC firm hired to market Silver Spring business park
New York City-based Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, one of the largest commercial real estate services firms in the country, has been hired as the exclusive adviser for Delta Pointe at Silver Spring.
The 85-acre tract on Route 114, just off Interstate 81, in Silver Spring Township is owned by Hampden Township-based Delta Commerce Park Developers LLC, which is owned by Delta Development Group Inc. executives LeRoy Kline Jr. and Eric Clancy.
Delta Pointe is a mixed-use business park with infrastructure in place to support nearly 450,000 square feet of office space, two hotel/restaurant lots and accessory services, including banks and retailers.
Lots range from 2 acres to 24.7 acres and are build-ready. Ten of the 12 parcels are available, Delta said.
Delta has owned the tract since 2007. The recession slowed the pace of development.
Engineering firm Gatter & Diehl Inc. is the only current tenant in the park. Delta has secured one of the other lots for a future headquarters.
"The Newmark Grubb Knight Frank team was selected for its in-depth local market knowledge and its unique ability to facilitate the entire vertical construction process from tenant placement and build-to-suit options to financing strategies," Eric Clancy, Delta's executive vice president, said in a statement.
Situated along the I-81 corridor between Carlisle and Harrisburg, Delta Pointe has exposure to more than 90,000 vehicles daily.
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank is part of BGC Partners Inc., which trades its shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BGCP.
The global brokerage created the firm after acquiring Grubb & Ellis Co. in April. BGC bought Newmark Knight Frank in October 2011.

You know it's going to be an interesting day when you see s Twitter message that says
"dengenjourney Denise's Gen Journey
OMG @dearmyrtle as a scientist at Fairfax GenSoc Spring Conf!! And @hrworth as assistant …. wish it were on video!! #genealogy
7 Habits of Highly effective Genealogists
That is how the day started. A scientist and an assistant. But what does that have to do with Genealogy. The scientist walked around the class, clipboard in hand, taking names and notes and the assistant changed the slides showing important steps in our research. Several items were discussed several times over the course of this class. Record or document what you find and Cite everything. We were reminded that a Citation is NOT created so that others can find the document that you have found, but more for you, the researcher, so that you don't go looking for it again but also for us to evaluation what we have.
Learning from others, experts, organizations within the Genealogy Community, was another message. That is why I attended this conference. To learn from others, to hang out with other researchers.
We were reminded that not everything is found on the Internet. Examples of the 7 steps were presented. The scientist ended with the notion that we should share with others. Lots to think about.
Integrating Genealogy Software with Online Discoveries
Issues of handling some of the information that we find, and the importance of recording the information, citing the sources, AND attaching this information to the people in our file. A number of techniques on how to take advantage of our computers to record this information. But this is all on a home computer.
The sharing was then discussed, Blogs and online trees, and the steps to do this were talked about. Current technology is allowing us to do this. It's getting easier.
Another example was then presented, by the assistant, of how Family Tree Maker version 2012 and an Ancestry Member Tree work together. An example of the Sharing of an online tree, where a collaborator in this tree, added an Image of a record to the shared tree, added 31 updated to new pieces of information to that tree, with the use of FTM2012, then using the Sync feature, to update the online tree.
BUT that is only a step to where the "industry" is going. We, the end users of our various software programs want to share our research, no matter what our genealogy database management program we are using. This was a peek into the future.
Clothesline Approach to Documentation and Evaluation
Dear MYRTLE then gave a number of examples of that various documents that we have found, cited, and now must evaluate, using a Clothesline where one end of it is Very Reliable and the other not so much (Less Reliable). Where on that clothesline do this document belong. Reminding us on the need to evaluate our findings. Findings just not being what we find Online, but all of our findings.
Finally Get Organized
Dear MYRTLE handed out 12 "pink slips" to members of the class. The person with the "pink slip" read the assignment and agreed to complete or work on the assignment for a week, or a month, to complete the project. For example, gather and store our documents in weatherproof filing boxes, Scanning, Digitizing our pictures and documents, or preserving what we have. But not stopping there, sharing what we have. Tell a story about one of those heirlooms that we might have.
What was very interesting about the 12 people accepted their assignment, but I suspect that each member of the class too at least one of the 'assignments' to heart, will take them home, and complete the assignment.
For me, I was honored by be a part of the class, and to be able to help my cousin with these classes.
Thanks Dear MYRTLE for a great day.

put down the joint and rtfm :)
grep -o puts each occurrence in a separate line
I don't know why this ain't written as simply as it is. I always see it's just used as parameter, like: vi `!!` But i use it to repeat a command, as i always work on several shells and check the result of one shell on a second.
The -p parameter tell the netstat to display the PID and name of the program to which each socket belongs or in digestible terms list the program using the net.Hope you know what pipe symbol means! Presently we wish to only moniter tcp connections so we ask grep to scan for string tcp, now from the op of grep tcp we further scan for regular expression /[a-z]*. Wonder what that means ? If we look at the op of netstat -p we can see that the name of the application is preceded by a / ( try netstat -p ) so,now i assume application name contains only characters a to z (usually this is the case) hope now it makes some sense.Regular expression /[a-z]* means to scan a string that start with a / and contains zero or more characters from the range a-z !!. Foof .. is t Show Sample Output
If you frequently need to connect to your ubersecure mainframe from various uberunsafe machines, you have to face difficult decision: (a) type the password everytime during the session (lame), (b) add local public key to mainframes authorized_keys file (unsafe), (c) as above, but remove this key at the end of the session (pain in the a55). So let's say you save The Command to tempauth file in bin directory of your mainframe's account and make it executable. Then, while you're on one of these unsafe ones, do:
cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub|ssh firstname.lastname@example.com bin/tempauth 30
and password prompts stop the harassment for 30 minutes and you don't have to care to remove the unsafe key after that.
Say you want to execute 'file' on the command 'top' (to determine what type of file it is); but you don't know where 'top' resides: preface the argument with = and zsh will implicitly prepend the path.
Sometimes it is handy to be able to list contents of a tar file within a compressed archive, such as 7Zip in this instance, without having to extract the archive first. This is especially helpful when dealing with larger sized files.
say you want to edit your PATH variable using bash/zsh commandline editing, this will put something like this in history so you can edit it: PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin to make this a shell function such that: eev HOME will put /home/dave in the last history event: eev() { print -s "$1='$(eval echo \$$1)'" }
Don't track in history commands starting with whitespace. Moreover ignore duplicates from history. To be set in .bashrc ex. $ export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth $ echo antani $ history|grep -c antani
say you've just found all the config files with this command find . -name '*.config' and you need to edit them all vi `!!` will re-execute the command and present them to vi in the argument list don't use if the list is really long as it may overflow the command buffer
grep's -c outputs how may matches there are for a given file as "file:N", cut takes the N's and awk does the sum. Show Sample Output
I often use "vim -p" to open in tabs rather than buffers.
You got some results in two variables within your shell script and would like to find the differences? Changes in process lists, reworked file contents, ... . No need to write to temporary files. You can use all the diff parameters you'll need. Maybe anything like $ grep "^>" is helpful afterwards.
Let dd use direct I/O to write directly to the disk without any caching. You'll encounter very different results with different block sizes (try with 1k, 4k, 1M, ... and appropriate count values).
This will create the file /tmp/pkgdetails, which will contain a listing of all the files installed on your RPM-based system (RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, etc). Useful should the RPM system/database become corrupted to find which package installed which files.
Note, the [remotePort] should be opened in the firewall first. First, start the destination box listening, then fire off the sending box. Data from the /dev/zero device in memory of the source machine is read out using dd, sent over the network with nc, and read back in from the other side of the network with nc, going to the /dev/null device. Essentially, it is a memory-network-memory copy operation, the output of dd will tell you how fast your network really is performing.
In Debian based distros, this command will list 'binutils' package details which contains 'nm' command. You can replace 'nm' to any other command.
Depending on the speed of you system, amount of RAM, and amount of free disk space, you can find out practically how fast your disks really are. When it completes, take the number of MB copied, and divide by the line showing the "real" number of seconds. In the sample output, the cached value shows a write speed of 178MB/s, which is unrealistic, while the calculated value using the output and the number of seconds shows it to be more like 35MB/s, which is feasible. Show Sample Output
Scan for open ports on the target device/computer (192.168.0.10) while setting up a decoy address (192.168.0.2). This will show the decoy ip address instead of your ip in targets security logs. Decoy address needs to be alive. Check the targets security log at /var/log/secure to make sure it worked.
ps command gives the possibility to display information with custom formatting with the -o options followed by the format specifier list. Show Sample Output
Redirects the contents of your clipboard through a pipe, to a remote machine via SSH.
Using 7z to create archives is OK, but when you use tar, you preserve all file-specific information such as ownership, perms, etc. If that's important to you, this is a better way to do it.

Analyst: Pfizer spinoff no need for worry in Groton
A news report Tuesday that Pfizer Inc. could be split into two companies in the next few years shouldn't necessarily concern scientists at the company's laboratories in Groton, according to a health care firm analyst.
Les Funtleyder, president of the investment advisory division of New York-based Poliwogg Inc., said a report by Bloomberg news service that sparked speculation Pfizer might soon cut itself in two is largely conjecture. New York-based Pfizer still has to finalize its already announced animal-health spinoff and other issues before tackling a possible move to split its new-medicines operations from its generics portfolio, a process that would take well over a year, he said.
But Funtleyder said any spinoff that eventually occurs would likely be a good thing for Pfizer's R&D scientists. Pfizer employs about 3,500 people in the region.
"It probably wouldn't mean a change as far as employment," Funtleyder said. "It could mean more focus on R&D."
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that Geno Germano, Pfizer's president of specialty care and oncology, said in an interview that the company's four business divisions would probably be whittled down to two at some point, representing so-called "innovative business" (R&D for new products) and "value business" (generics).
"We really see the business segmenting into these two segments with pretty different capabilities, and we would want to organize in a way that we realize the most value for shareholders," Germano told Bloomberg.
Germano didn't specifically say Pfizer was preparing to spin off one of its core businesses, but analysts already had been speculating that a split might be in the cards, and Germano's comments fueled further speculation.
Pfizer's stock price finished the day at $26.62, down less than half a percent, a change that Funtleyder said was likely more related to normal stock-market fluctuations than any concern about a spinoff.
"Investors are looking forward to earnings," he said. "Pfizer has had a very good run for the last month or two."
The price is close to a five-year high.
Pfizer, under chairman Ian Read, had decided to divest its nutritions and animal-health divisions to try to focus more on core drug products and cope with the loss of marketing exclusivity for cholesterol fighter Lipitor, which at its height brought in more than $10 billion a year in sales. Pfizer also has made drastic cuts to its R&D structure, including 1,100 layoffs in the past two years at local Pfizer sites, highlighted by the closure of its former world R&D headquarters in New London.
Funtleyder noted that the breakup of Pfizer would be similar to Abbott Laboratories' Jan. 1 spinoff of its branded drug line now known under the name AbbVie Inc. He said it is unknown how Pfizer might structure any spinoff, but it's possible that shareholders could be offered shares in each company, similar to what happened when AT&T divested itself of smaller phone companies.
A spinoff would create two distinctly different types of companies, the generics side more oriented toward slow and steady growth while the branded drugs business would include higher risks with the chance of higher returns, Funtleyder said. It would be up to stockholders whether to hold or sell either of the two companies, he added.

The current maintenance program at the Ralls County Courthouse in New London began when someone noticed that paint was peeling from the bell tower. Upon closer inspection, it was determined that there was wood rot.
While they were repairing that, the courthouse roof was also in need of replacement, and the soffit on the north side of the building needed replacing, too.
After taking a full inventory of renovation needs, the tab came to around a half million dollars.
New exit doors will be installed, the county commission room will be expanded, and concrete will be repaired on the south entrance to the basement.
There was some water getting into the northeast basement wall, so that area is to be dug up and resealed.
County Clerk Ernie Duckworth said the money is coming from the courthouse improvement, funded by a half cent sales tax that expires the end of December 2014.
Bleigh Construction is doing most of the work. In addition, old lead paint had to be removed.
"Structurally, we're trying to keep the courthouse in good shape," Duckworth said.

Lions boys' squad takes down Topeka while girls team comes up short; Pioneers dominate at Maranatha
Though the end results were mixed, Lansing bowling coach Ed Fenton was fairly happy with his teams' performances Monday.
"I was pleased with how the boys competed today," the Lions coach said. "They shot well. The girls are still in that 2,000 range and are doing well also, but have gone up against some really good teams lately."
Hosting Topeka, the Lansing boys used a 2,313 team score to beat out its visitor's 1,866.
On the other side of the alley, the Lady Lions' 1,983 wasn't enough to take down Topeka 2,280.
"As a group both teams need to continue to work on their one-pin splits," Fenton said. "We could improve are scores quite a bit if we iron out those issues."
Individual Lions scores in the boys' contest were led by Bryan Courtney, who had a series mark of 661.
He was followed by John Bredehoeft's 578 and Thad Marshall's 561.
Brad Brown added a 493 tally, just in front of Austin Reynolds' 485 and Dustin Reynolds' 474.
For the Lansing ladies, Natasha Kern led the pack with a 514 series, with Dallas Castillo (494) and Rachel Forbach (475) right behind her.
Katelyn Tollefson posted a 466 and Amber Ketchum a 463.
Lansing will next compete at St. James Academy on Feb. 13.
Pioneers prevail at Maranatha
No matter which way its sliced, the Leavenworth bowling teams were in complete control Monday.
Competing at Maranatha with Shawnee Mission West and the Blue Valley girls' squad, the Pioneers swept all four team competitions.
"Every one of our teams finished first in both varsity and junior varsity," Pioneer coach Shad Langfoss said. "It turned out to be a good day all around."
While official team scores and individual results were not available due to technology issues, Langfoss did highlight Mallory Scherer and Levi Denney. Each came in as the top bowler for their respective girls' and boys' varsity divisions.
"The adjustments everyone made today were key," the LV coach said. "I think the kids are getting use to Park Lanes, as it was our second time there, and it's pretty oily conditions."
Leavenworth will host its next meet at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

We're down to the top three stories of 2012
Over the hump
After losing in the district finals two straight years, and waiting nearly 30 years since their last championship, the Knox County Eagles finally got over the hump in 2012.
Then they just kept going. The Eagles earned a berth to the state playoffs with a win over rival Scotland County in the Class 1, District 9 title game, 4-3. Brienna Priebe homered, while Devin Gudehus hit a home run and also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Pitcher Rachel Poston struck out eight.
Cruising through
Knox County opened the state tournament with a 13-0 pummeling of La Plata in a Class 1 sectional. Poston held the Bulldogs scoreless and struck out 12, while the offense gave her more than enough support. The Eagles scored 10 runs in the third inning, highlighted by Hannah Strange's two-run home run.
In the state quarterfinal against Cairo, it was Devin Gudehus coming up with a two-run home run in the fifth inning as part of a four-run rally that lifted the Eagles to a 9-6 win. Poston managed 11 strikeouts in the complete-game effort that sent Knox to the Final Four.
With honors
Seven seniors led the way for Knox County in 2012 (Bailey Couch, Rachel Poston, Devin Gudehus, Mackenzie Hustead, Hannah Strange, Olivia Nichols and Mackenzie Kaylor). The Eagles finished with a 22-4 record overall, and took fourth place at the state tournament after losses to Silex (9-2) and King City (5-1). It was the first time a Knox softball team had been in the Final Four since 1981.
Bailey Couch was named Daily Express Player of the Year, batting .500 and driving in 34 runs, all while anchoring the team from behind the plate. Head coach Marcie Stansberry was named Daily Express Coach of the Year, while Rachel Poston, Devin Gudehus and Mackenzie Hustead were all first-team all-Express picks.

Lentiviral_Transduction_Tools >
Lenti-X Accelerator is a magnetic bead-based technology designed to accelerate lentiviral transduction experiments. Traditional lentiviral transductions require overnight incubation of your cells and virus with Polybrene, but Lenti-X Accelerator allows you to complete this process in only 30 minutes and avoid using Polybrene altogether. Charged magnetic beads bind to virus particles from your lentiviral packaging supernatant and are pulled into contact with your cells in the presence of a magnetic field (see Images & Data tab).
Lenti-X Accelerator is excellent for transducing lentivirus and MMLV retrovirus, including MSCV retrovirus preparations. It is ideal for cell types that are sensitive to Polybrene. The Lenti-X Accelerator reagent (Cat. Nos. 631256 & 631257) and a Magnetic Separator for Cell Culture (Cat. No. 631255) are available separately, or together in the Lenti-X Accelerator Starter Kit (Cat. No. 631254). Low-titer lentiviral samples may be concentrated with Lenti-X Concentrator prior to transduction.
Lenti-X Accelerator beads are large enough to carry out transduction by gravity alone without using a magnet, so you can evaluate transduction efficiency without using the Magnetic Separator. Transduction is still very rapid (15 min) compared to Polybrene (overnight), but the Magnetic Separator reduces the transduction time to 5 min and provides 10% higher transduction efficiencies. The Magnetic Separator also allows easy removal of the beads from your transduced plate—i.e., after you trypsinize to separate your cells, you can briefly expose the cells to the magnet before aspirating them to another dish.

Changes at FALS
Fairbury American Legion Speedway's marquee event will experience some changes in 2013, as will a new way to find out on the web what is going on at Fairbury American Legion Speedway.
With a new mid-summer date, a record purse and sanctioning from the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, the 24th annual Prairie Dirt Classic is set to become the biggest and richest dirt late lodel race in the history of the popular quarter-mile oval.
It was announced Friday by the speedway and the World of Outlaws that a $20,000 first-place prize will be on the line when the 100-lap Prairie Dirt Classic is run as a two-day event over the July 26-27 weekend.
Traditionally contested as a 50- or 75-lap UMP-sanctioned event over Labor Day weekend, the Prairie Dirt Classic's move to an earlier place on the 2013 racing calendar and first-ever affiliation with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series promises to take the event to unprecedented heights, the release stated.
"The Prairie Dirt Classic has always been the race everyone identifies with Fairbury American Legion Speedway," said FALS race director Matt Curl. "But the weekend has kind of gotten to where it's more of a local, Midwestern show rather a 'spotlight' race. With the national sanctioning bodies racing out east over Labor Day weekend, we couldn't draw those national drivers, which is something our fans have been wanting for a long time.
"Making the Prairie Dirt Classic a true national event that attracts the country's best drivers has long been the track's vision for the race, and when we met as a race committee earlier this off-season we talked about what we could do to make that happen in 2013," Curl added. "We contacted the World of Outlaws, we came up with a date (July 26-27) that we thought could work really well on their schedule and ours, and everything just came together from there."
The Prairie Dirt Classic weekend will follow the usual two-day format for 100-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series events. Time trials and qualifying heats will be run on July 26 with B-mains, a non-qualifiers' race paying $2,000 to win (from a purse of over $12,000) and the century grind headliner on Sat., July 27.
"We're thrilled to add the Prairie Dirt Classic to the 2013 World of Outlaws Late Model Series schedule," said World of Outlaws Late Model Series director Tim Christman. "Fairbury American Legion Speedway has a well-deserved reputation as one of the DIRTcar UMP circuit's top tracks so it's a perfect place to hold a huge event. I think there's no doubt this will be a weekend no Late Model fan will want to miss."
DIRTcar UMP modifieds will be the featured support class both nights, racing for more than $20,000 in purses during the weekend ($1,750 to win on Friday, $3,000 to win on Saturday). UMP Sportsman ($500 to win) will also compete on Friday evening while UMP Street Stocks will battle for a $500 winner's payoff on Saturday night.
Curl said a limited number of reserved seats at the FALS facility will be sold in advance. Ticket information and other details about the Prairie Dirt Classic weekend, including an event time schedule and special attractions, will be released soon.
The speedway has been a Saturday night motorsports staple since 1946. An all-volunteer fair board, which runs the fairgrounds for the American Legion, oversees the race committee that organizes the weekly racing action at FALS, which was voted the DIRTcar UMP Track of the Year in 2006 and '07.
"We have incredible weekly fan support and we know this race is going to get them all talking," said Curl. "We're going to do everything possible for the fans and drivers to make this the best weekend for everybody. We want everybody to feel at home, have a great time and see the great racing that Fairbury is known for — and we want this to be an annual, stable event, a race that is one of the biggest every year on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series."
A title sponsor for the event has not yet been signed, but advertising partners already on board for the weekend include Livingston Stone Company, Brandt Consolidated, Schahrer Trucking Inc. and Lynn Chevrolet-Buick. Hampton Inn & Suites in Normal (309-452-8900) will serve as the official hotel of Fairbury American Legion Speedway.
The Prairie Dirt Classic will kick off a big week of summer action in the midwest for the World of Outlaw's. The tour will continue on to Shawano (Wis.) Speedway on Tues., July 30; Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for the USA Nationals on Aug. 1-3; and Independence (Iowa) Motor Speedway on Mon., Aug. 5.

She grew up in Sheyenne where she graduated from high school in 1976. She then attended one year at Concordia College until Paula convinced her parents that she was coming home to marry the love of her life. With this move home, Paula attained her doctorate in farming, being a mother and a community leader. Paula was united in marriage to Erling Myhre on June 25, 1977, at First Lutheran Church in Sheyenne. They lived and farmed on the Continental Divide south of Sheyenne.

Nick Cannon isn't supposed to be talking about his split with Mariah Carey. But he did, and she's not happy.
TMZ reports that a provision in the divorce settlement hammered out between the pair's lawyers spells out that Cannon could suffer "serious financial penalties" should he reveal anything more than the fact that they are living apart.
However Carey can talk about the split however she sees fit.
That's about as surprising as the sun coming up in the east this morning.
"I don't comment on Mariah's personal life," Carey's rep told Us Weekly in a statement on Friday, "but Mariah is focusing on her children and her upcoming tour."
In Thursday, the "America's Got Talent" host confirmed the split to The Insider, saying they had been "living in separate houses for a few months."
"Mariah was devastated about the comments Nick made to The Insider," a source tells E! News. "They had agreed to work on a statement together. A joint statement was being prepared when he went and gave those quotes to The Insider."
Cannon also said there is "trouble in paradise," and his "main focus is the kids."
Nick Cannon not talking is about as difficult for him as it is for most people not to breathe.
E!'s source also said, "She can't believe he went and did that. Not what they had agreed on and not classy. He was not supposed to say a word. She thinks it was extremely childish, impulsive and opportunistic. For her, it was the last straw. She's done with him now.
"It's no longer amicable. Things are getting ugly."
The split, which apparently happened in May, is reportedly over a number of factors, including Cannon's unwillingness to cut back on his work schedule. Problems supposedly started last March, when Cannon said on a New York radio show he had slept with Kim Kardashian before he was with Carey.

Army Pfc. Stoney Tyler, of Rolla, was recently named the Missouri National Guard's 35th Engineer Brigade's Best Warrior in the soldier category.
Army Pfc. Stoney Tyler, of Rolla, was recently named the Missouri National Guard's 35th Engineer Brigade's Best Warrior in the soldier category.
Stoney, who is a member of the 335th Engineer Platoon (Area Clearance), of Rolla, was presented an Army Commendation Medal for the accomplishment and recognized recently at the brigade's engineer ball at the Lodge of the Four Seasons.
To get to the brigade level, Tyler previously won the 203rd Engineer Battalion, of Joplin, Best Warrior Competition.
"It's been a really interesting experience getting to know other people outside of my unit throughout the brigade and the battalion," said Tyler, who has been in the Guard more than a year. "It's really gotten me out of my comfort zone. I'm not really comfortable yet being around a bunch of brass and senior noncommissioned officers."
Tyler will now represent the brigade at the state Best Warrior Competition, scheduled for April 3-7 at Camp Crowder in Neosho.
Command Sgt. Maj. Steven Stuenkel, the brigade command sergeant major, said Tyler was chosen because he was the points leader going into the soldier board and once there, was not tripped up.
"We have a series of difficult questions designed by higher leadership that we go through and he flew through them pretty well," Stuenkel said. "He did a heck of a job reciting the Soldier's Creed, as well."
Tyler said the soldier board was extremely challenging.
"My biggest problem was just being nervous — I was visibly sweating in there and they made a comment about it," Tyler said. "At the first level, there was stuff like the ruck march and weapons assembly and disassembly — that stuff was easy for me. But going in front of a bunch of high-ranking noncommissioned officers and answering questions and keeping my composure was difficult."
Currently a junior at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Tyler is studying electrical engineering and is also a member of ROTC. He was homeschooled in Clarksville and graduated high school in 2010.
Tyler is supported in his military career by his father, Greg, and mother, Melinda, who live in Clarksville; his brother, Asa, who lives in Rolla; his sister, Abbey, who lives in Kirksville; his grandparents, James and Polly Allen, who live in Knoxville, Tenn.; and his step-grandfather, Lavon Kozel, who lives in Huron, S.D.

you know, i was just thinking...
...if peterson and hunt would have done LJ's contract a little differently...gave him incentives to where he could earn the money he is making now...instead of just handing it out in good faith that LJ would produce..
...now i dont know, but i just wonder if LJ would have accepted a contract renegotiation that was based more on incentives then just a handout of money.
probably not...but you never know. Then we wouldn't be in the mess we are now wit him if that would have happened.


text: yes i know about the flatlines, what i meant was i have limited physics knowlege, i know enough about paintball (i've been researching and such for 2 years....mostly on low ends and pumpers tho) to know what products do what. the things you mention are used to create spin, and due to the spin, it would create lift and keep the ball along a straight trajectory. what i''m saying is create seams on the ball and have the back of the ball heavier than the front. conventional loaders and equipment would still work, the seams would disrupt SOME of the vortex shedding effect, and the weight bias will keep the seams facing the right direction.
