Shriner Hall, the oldest residence hall at Hood College, opened its doors in the fall of 1915, one of the two new buildings on the sprawling 150-acre campus west of Frederick.
Built at a cost of $68,000 and originally known as Residence Hall A, it was later named in memory of Edward A. Shriner and his first wife. Margaret Elizabeth Derr Shriner, in recognition of the generosity of their son, Edward Derr Shriner, Sr., to Hood College.
Mrs. Shriner was a close friend of Margaret Scholl Hood, for whom Hood College is named, while her husband, Edward A. Shriner, was Mrs. Hood's first cousin.
The oldest of seven children, Mrs. Shriner was born December 4, 1832, to John Derr, a descendant of German immigrants and a prominent local farmer, and his wife, Elizabeth Lugenbeel Shriner, on the family homestead on the west bank of the Monocacy River. Diaries kept in the 1850s by her friend, Mrs. Hood, and her sister, Mary, describe her as a kind woman, engaged in pursuits typical for a woman of her day. She sewed, gardened, canned, and cooked; she rode into town to call on friends and family; she attended church and taught Sunday School. She also kept a diary (no copies have survived) and regularly corresponded with family and friends.
Edward A. Shriner was the only son of Cornelius Shriner, a prominent miller and businessman, and Rebecca Scholl Shriner, the sister of Margaret Hood's father, Christian. A descendant of German and Swiss immigrants, he was born on January 24, 1830, on the family homestead adjoining the family business, the Ceresville Mills, on the banks of the Monocacy River north of Frederick.
Mr. Shriner entered the milling business after completing his formal education at Mercersburg College. In 1850, his father sold him a partial interest in Ceresville Mills; after his father's death in 1855 he bought the mills from the Cornelius Shriner estate for a cost of $14,600.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the Ceresville Mills were thought to be the finest south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The mills ground sixty barrels of flour per day and were driven by water wheels powered by the waters of the Israel Creek which empties into the Monocacy River. As a result of the mills' success, Mr. Shriner enjoyed substantial wealth.
Avidly interested in the welfare of his community, particularly its transportation system, he was instrumental in the early development of turnpikes in Frederick County, serving as president of the Frederick and Woodsboro Pike Company and the Liberty and Frederick Pike Company. He was a director of the Frederick County National Bank and was connected with a number of enterprises and institutions that were influential in the development of the county. He was an active member of the Reformed Church.
Margaret and Edward Shriner's paths often crossed as children, for their fathers, John Derr and Cornelius Shriner, shared a common business, community and transportation interests. In 1858, following a long courtship, they were married. Mrs. Hood's diaries indicate that the first years of their marriage were happy ones. Three years after their marriage, Margaret died at the age of 31, nine days after the birth of her son, Edward Derr Shriner, born January 13, 1862.
Edward Derr Shriner was raised by his mother's sister, Mary Derr. Upon completion of his education, he entered the family mill at Ceresville as bookkeeper. After purchasing the business from his father, he established the E. A. Shriner Milling Company. Like his father he was a director of the Woodsboro Turnpike Company, the Frederick County National Bank, and was active in the Reformed Church. He also was well-known for his involvement with the Sons of the American Revolution. He was a generous contributor to Hood, and in 1916 the college named its first residence hall in honor of his parents.
The high value the Shriners placed on love for family and friends and their strong commitment to community is evident in all that has been written about them. Shriner Hall exemplifies their lives and is symbolic of Hood's similar values.

NEW YORK (AP) — It's been 20 years since Steven Spielberg made his Oscar-winning "Schindler's List," but the director has keen memories of Holocaust survivors coming up to him during filming, wanting to tell him about their lives.
"They said, please, let me tell you my story," he said. "They just wanted me to listen."
That experience, the director says, gave him the idea to launch a foundation — now called the USC Shoah Foundation — that ever since has been collecting, indexing and archiving video testimonies of Holocaust survivors, before the passage of time makes it too late. Recently the group has expanded its focus, adding testimonies of survivors of the Rwanda genocide as well.
On Thursday evening, Spielberg and his foundation marked its 20th anniversary — as well as the anniversary of "Schindler's List" — with a New York gala, honoring a fellow Hollywood heavyweight active in humanitarian work: George Clooney.
"George is the best kind of humanitarian," Spielberg told the crowd. "The humble humanitarian." The director called Clooney "an unparalleled example of action over apathy."
Clooney, who was awarded the Ambassador for Humanity award, told the assembled donors that "Our job is to make it hard for the bad guys to do what they're doing, and for the good guys to ignore it."
Praising the Shoah Foundation, Clooney added: "We have to be able to keep a record of what the powerful can do to the powerless."
Hosting the glittery gala in the vast "Whale Room" at New York's Museum of Natural History was Jon Stewart, the "Daily Show" host. Also there was Sandra Bullock, Clooney's friend and co-star in the new space film "Gravity." Alternating humor with, well, gravity, Bullock quipped that Spielberg makes a lot of good decisions, but had made one bad one — neglecting to cast her after she auditioned for "Jurassic Park." (Spielberg noted she might get another chance, since he'll be producing the fourth "Jurassic" film, set to open in 2015.)
To date, Spielberg's foundation, based since 2006 at the University of Southern California, has collected nearly 52,000 eyewitness testimonies on video, in what it calls the largest digital collection of its kind in the world.
In an interview before the gala, Spielberg explained that a new, broader phase of the foundation's work, begun recently, involves collecting video testimonies from survivors of genocide in places like not only Rwanda but Cambodia, the Darfur region of Sudan, and others.
"The origins of hatred haven't gone away, just because I made a film and started a foundation," the director said. "We need to keep reminding people that the mistakes of the past are bound to be repeated, unless we can figure out collectively how to stop it."
He noted that the only obstacle to further broadening the foundation's work is funding; the group announced during the evening that the gala had raised close to $3.7 million.
Another crucial goal, Spielberg said in the interview, is to get the country's public school systems to teach tolerance education. "I've always thought that we need to disseminate this in a very organized curriculum to public schools," he said. "We're asking, if we give you a curriculum, will you teach it under the heading of social sciences? It's starting to happen."
He noted that Holocaust survivors are fast dying out, an even more important reason to preserve their life stories on video — video that can be catalogued and indexed for easy access, a huge job that now makes up for much of the foundation's work.
"The survivor community is vanishing," he said. "Soon, it will only exist in cyberspace. But it's a powerful community. We hope that through these testimonies, the survivors will live forever."
Spielberg himself did not have relatives who died in the Holocaust. But when he was a young boy, his grandmother helped Hungarian survivors learn English in the United States. "I grew up with Hungarian survivors in our living room and dining room — 20 to 30 of them, three to five days a week," he said.
Though he was only a toddler, he has clear memories of the numbers on their forearms. "I learned to count as a three-year old from the 'Auschwitz tattoo' of one man in particular," he said. "I vividly remember what he looked like, and those numbers on his arm."

text: Although I am usually not inclined to posit speculations on why a particular drug does or doesn't do something, in this case I will. Im guessing that the higher doses of Anadrol cause enough appetite suppression (at least anecdotally) to make eating rather difficult. It can also increase insulin resistance and glucose intolerance (5). This has the effect of making macronutrient absorption more inefficient, and could also be a factor in reducing gains when the dosage goes over 100mgs/day. Unfortunately, Anadrol also has a reasonably profound effect on your body's natural hormonal system, on par with most other oral steroids , but not as bad as most injectables, and its certainly not as harsh on your lipid profile as many anabolics are

Naked dumpster diver caught on cameraPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- A nude man lurking behind a dumpster brought police to a shopping mall this week, near 67th and Thomas Avenues.
A surveillance technician working for Centralized Vision was monitoring a bank of monitors, and spotted a trespasser walking toward some dumpsters.
After flipping through the pages of a book or magazine, the man began taking all of his clothes off.
Moments later, he can be seen on the video emerging from behind the dumpster completely naked, and unaware that the whole thing was caught on camera.
The Centralized Vision tech called police.
"Most of our catches are copper thieves and basic trespassing," said technician Thomas Rowswell. "I can't explain what this guy was thinking."
The nude intruder was opening the dumpsters when a police car pulled up outside the gates to the lot. He hid behind a wall until he was blasted with a spotlight from a police helicopter.
The man re-dressed, and took off. He disappeared before police were able to get inside the gated area.
"I have to believe this person's never going to come back to the property again," said Tom Vigilante, who owns Centralized Vision.

Hi, welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Police Car page.
If you need help, and there are no local admins here, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You can also check our Staff blog to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia.
Happy editing, JoePlay<staff /> (help forum | blog)
It isn't a sub-area they were just prequels. They were all in the GTA III Era. And something like that didn't need to be there. Wasn't he the one who created the "Pirates" gang. That WAS irrelevant. --Gta-mysteries Talk 02:20, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, the "Pirates" were totally irrelevant. But he had a good idea with his stories era. You could consider another sub era to be anything before 1961. If the cities weren't created, the games couldn't have happened, but nothing that much concerns people happens.HoboHunter28 15:53, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that the speedy deletion template is only for spam pages. When you think a page should be deleted for other reasons, that may not be obvious to everyone, use (just to let you know, use 'prod' with two { } around it, like linking to an article, to get this): {{Prod}} I made the same mistake when I was new here. Also, be sure to put the template at the top of the page. Thanks! MAINEiac4434 16:52, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
Flaming and Edit Warring
Hey, It is good that you actually care about the quality and the relevance of edits on this wiki, but could you please refrain from swearing (which is against the Rules of this wiki) and flaming users. If you have a problem with users or the content they are creating, don't start edit wars (reverting someone's edits more than 3 times) and call what they are creating "shit". Instead, you should talk about it on the articles talk pages, which is what I have seen you doing, but you have been using swearing and flaming. If you have a problem with a user, try to work it out with them. But if things escalate then you can feel free to ask a member of Staff to step in and have a look at the situation. Chimpso (Talk) 06:02, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for reporting Ymcfadden to staff. However, instead of leaving angry edit summaries, you should leave a message on his talk page, asking him please not to add useless information to pages, and try to keep correct grammar. Gboyers talk 21:35, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Where did that discussion happen? Gboyers talk 21:46, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I told him to learn better English before editing and to read the rules and stuff on his messages. Then he messaged me a little while after, telling me " F you, asshole" on my messages. Then he stopped editing, and I was trying to deal with the whole hugo gomez thing, and then he came back. I told him basically the same thing as before on his messages, and then he called me a "useless MFer" on my messages.HoboHunter28 21:51, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
You can absolutely do all that already! You can fix articles, go around fixing images, write Policy and style guides for articles, and even create and lead Cleanup Projects. The only difference is that Staff have a delete button instead of using the {{delete}} template, and they can block users and lock pages. To be trusted with those tools, you need to understand this wiki inside-out, and you need to make a long-term commitment to this wiki, so it's not going to be possible to trust a member with under 500 edits with those tools. You can still run this wiki without having a delete button. If you need the delete & block buttons to spearhead cleanup projects, then you're doing it wrong. Gboyers talk 08:25, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I understand, but being staff isn't about telling people what to do. We're just normal member with a couple of extra buttons. People have to follow the rules, not just the staff. All you have to do is come up with a good plan, and people will help out - it doesn't matter if you're staff or not. Of course some people will still cause trouble, and the staff can deal with that. But you don't need to be staff to run those cleanup projects. If you think you need a staff badge for people to listen to you, then you aren't being very convincing. Gboyers talk 14:49, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Cryocup™ Ice Massage CupState of the Art Ice Massage tool for the treatment of strains, sprains, muscle spasms, pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis and other musculo-skeletal conditions. It is a more effective solution, one that combines the cooling response of an ice pack with the effectiveness of ice massage. The Cryocup™ is a patented simple-to-use ice applicator that reduces the time it takes for soothing cold to penetrate into muscles and begin relieving the aches and pains of muscle strains, sprains and tendinitis.
Cryocup is one of the few products I would endorse as a massage therapist. It saves the therapist's hands from frostbite and applies ice and cold specific to locations. Because I do a lot of rehab/medical massage, I keep at least 5 cryocups in the ready. I wish they would sell the metal tray that holds six cryocups neatly.

In other news
I don't remember who was being interviewed, but he said two things that got my attention. First, he said that American corporations are taxed at to high a rate. OK, that's pretty much dogma from any corporate spokesman. Even if we handed them gobs of money (and we do!) they'd kvetch about their excessive taxes.
Then it got interesting. He said that American corporations could be more competitive in global markets, except that they have difficulty finding suitably trained technical workers.
Do you see the connection? He complains that his taxes are too high, and in the next breath says he can't find educated workers. Excuse me? Doesn't paying those 'excessive' tax rates help to pay for schools, schools that presumably turn out a better educated, better trained workforce? It's in his company's best interest to support the schools that eventually supply his workers.
We're seeing this writ large in Wisconsin, where the governor and the majority party want to slash education spending while claiming that by doing so they'll produce more jobs. More jobs for whom? They're setting up conditions for an education and employment death spiral, as ill-prepared students enter the workforce and good jobs leave the state as employers look for better workers elsewhere. Even worse, those employers who remain will have to re-train workers, adding to their expenses. No doubt the blame will be placed on the public schools and the public school teachers, justifying yet more cuts to a 'dysfunctional' education system.

Learn about Montana's new health centers for state employees in Billings, Helena, and Miles City
"Efficiency in government has been a top priority for my administration," said Governor Bullock. "By seeking innovative solutions to address rising health care costs for state employees, we've been able to contain these costs and put more money in the pockets of our employees. This is money that they'll be able to spend supporting Main Street businesses in their community."
The State attributes the savings to lower-than-average cost increases over the past two years, due in part to the new Montana employee health centers in Helena, Billings, and soon Miles City. In addition, the state plan has seen reduced costs by emphasizing wellness and health.
State employees who select the most cost-effective health plans for 2014 and fully participate in the wellness programs may see their health care costs reduce even further. The 2014 employee health care plan includes discounts for employees not using tobacco and participating in wellness screenings.
The State of Montana Employee Health Plan provides medical, pharmacy, dental, and vision coverage to 33,500 Montana citizens who are State employees, retirees, legislators, and their dependents.
The Legislature approves the portion of the health care costs paid by the State on behalf of its employees (known as the state share), while employees pick up the remainder themselves.
Because of these cost containment measures and the Legislature's increase in the state share, state employees will see an average 2 percent increase in take-home pay in 2014.

BcltimoreLacrosseNews.com, Posted 4/29/12
Friom Press Release
Sophomore Rob Guida provided the emotional spark the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team needed when he opened the scoring with an unassisted goal less than three minutes into Saturday's showdown at top-ranked Loyola.
Guida did himself one better with 2.3 seconds remaining in overtime when he quick-sticked home a pass to the crease from junior Zach Palmer to lift the 10th-ranked Blue Jays to a 10-9 win before a capacity crowd of 6,000 at Loyola's Ridley Athletic Complex.
In a game that saw the Blue Jays squander a 9-5 lead in the final 13 minutes remaining of regulation, Guida netted his game-winner after Loyola hit the post with its second shot in overtime and the Blue Jays failed on an extra-man opportunity. With the clock winding down, Hopkins midfielder John Ranagan worked to an ally dodge, but was trail-checked nicely and the ball flew out to Palmer along the goal line.
There, he threaded a pass to the crease, where Guida caught it for the briefest time and slipped a quick shot between the legs of Loyola goalie Jack Runkel. The goal completed Guida's first career hat trick and improved Hopkins' record to 19-9 all-time in overtime games under head coach Dave Pietramala.
A late goal in overtime didn't look like it would be necessary for the Blue Jays after Guida's extra-man goal early in the fourth quarter gave JHU a 9-5 lead. To that point, the `Hounds hadn't been closer than three since the first quarter and the Blue Jays appeared to be in control.
t look less than two minutes for Davis Butts to answer Guida's tally and less than a minute after that before a Sean O'Sullivan strike made it 9-7 with more than 11 minutes remaining.
The 9-7 lead held for the Blue Jays (10-3) for more than eight minutes as Runkel and his counterpart, JHU goalie Pierce Bassett, traded saves. Still, the Greyhounds made it a one-goal game with 54 seconds remaining when Justin Ward found Pat Laconi alone in the high slot and Laconi picked the near post for his first goal of the season.
Loyola (12-1), which had its 12-game winning streak snapped, won the ensuing faceoff and worked the ball to Ward behind the goal. Hopkins senior Gavin Crisafulli bodied up with Ward along the goal line and appeared to be in solid position, but Ward worked topside just slightly and rifled home the equalizer to force the extra period.
Loyola maintained possession for more than 90 seconds in overtime and Eric Lusby rang the far post with the `Hounds second shot, but Guida came up with the ensuing ground ball and drew a flag for a hold while trying to clear. Hopkins maintained possession after the penalty expired and Palmer threaded his pass to a tightly-marked Guida a short time later to seal Hopkins' 13th straight win over the Greyhounds.
After back-to-back losses the Blue Jays were looking for something positive early in the game and Guida, Mark Goodrich and Lee Coppersmith provided just that with first quarter goals that gave JHU a 3-0 lead at the end of the opening quarter. It marked the 15th time Hopkins has held an opponent scoreless in a quarter this season and the first time all year that Loyola failed to score in the opening quarter of a game.
The Blue Jays pushed the lead to 5-0 when Coppersmith and Wells Stanwick scored in the opening 2:03 of the second period, but Loyola got goals by Butts, Lusby and Chris Layne in the final 11:15 of the period with only a Palmer strike in that time for JHU to account for a 6-3 score at the half.
The teams traded third-quarter goals to make it 8-5 entering the final period and Gudia's extra-man goal 47 seconds into the fourth quarter gave JHU the 9-5 lead.
Butts ignited Loyola's 4-0 run a short time later when he scored on an ally dodge and Ward capped the spree in the final seconds with his only goal of the game.
That set the stage for the overtime period, which went nearly the full four minutes before Palmer and Guida put an end to the dramatics and lifted Hopkins to its 47th all-time win in the 50-game series with Loyola.
Guida, who had scored previously scored a career-high two goals in a game six times in his career, led the Blue Jays with his three goals, while Palmer added two goals and two assists.
Coppersmith and Goodrich added two-goal efforts for the Blue Jays, who held advantages in shots (40-28) and ground balls (34-30). Bassett posted nine saves in goal and freshman Michael Pellegrino added a game-high seven ground balls for the Blue Jays, who picked up their second win of the season against a team ranked number one and have now won 7-of-11 against teams ranked number one under Pietramala.
Loyola got two goals from Lusby and Butts, one goal and two assists from Layne and the one goal and one assist from Ward, while Runkel was solid in goal with 14 saves on the day. J.P. Dalton took all 23 faceoffs in the game for Loyola and won 14 of them, although the Blue Jays won 7-of-11 in the second half.
Johns Hopkins will return to action next Saturday, when the Blue Jays welcome Army to Homewood Field for JHU's annual Homecoming game. Loyola has a quick turnaround as the Greyhounds will play at Denver in the ECAC Semifinals on Wednesday.

Fancy a V dress
Added Oct 23, 2011
by woman
Kuala Lumpur, Ma...
Drafted this princess line dress for a wedding dinner. While I was adjusting the fit, I thought hey the back looks kinda nice being opened, so I made the "collar" flaps for it in contrasting black. In hindsight, it would've been better if I had made the piece as a real collar piece instead of attaching it the faux way hee hee hee..
A plain dress like this might need more help in the accessorizing department so I made the sequinny foldover clutch to go with it.
On a not-so-separate note.. I am a pear-shaped person and I feel this single piece block dresses don't really suit me that well as opposed to 2-piece dress blocks that are split at the waistline.. do any of you have this same thought as me, or am I just overthinking it? :-/

Nice dress! I am also pear-shaped and I feel the same concerning dresses with or without waistline seams. But I also sew one-piece dresses which I do not find to be too bad on me (I think the difference is not that obvious for other persons than ourselves). In fact, your dress suits you very well and you look stunning in it!

In November 2014, Energy Capital made a preferred equity investment in Southcross Holdings LP ("Holdings") from its Mezzanine Opportunities Fund. Holdings is the parent company of Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXE) ("SXE" and, together with Holdings, "Southcross"), a master limited partnership primarily based in South Texas' Eagle Ford Basin, with an additional smaller asset base in Mississippi and Alabama.
Southcross provides natural gas gathering, processing, treating and transportation services as well as NGL fractionation, transportation and marketing services to a well-diversified group of blue chip customers. Holdings was formed in August 2014 through the combination of Southcross Energy LLC, the predecessor parent of SXE, and TexStar Midstream Services, two integrated midstream companies with complementary assets in the Eagle Ford basin.
In October 2008, Energy Capital announced the formation of ADA Carbon Solutions ("ACS") to develop and construct an activated carbon ("AC") production facility in Coushatta, Louisiana.
ACS was formed in anticipation of federal and state regulations requiring mercury removal from coal-fired power plant emissions. ACS designed and built what Energy Capital believes is the largest, most automated and most environmentally friendly AC manufacturing plant in North America focused on mitigating mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The facility, which is called Red River, was completed in 2010, can produce 150 million pounds per year of AC and has begun shipping product to utility customers. In addition, ACS developed its own dedicated source of raw material, the Five Forks Mine, located in close proximity to the Red River plant.
In December 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") released its final Mercury and Air Toxics Standards ("MATS"), which set stringent new federal limits on hazardous emissions from the nation's coal and oil-fired power plants. After a few delays, the rule went into full effect for all U.S. coal plants in April 2016.
For more information about ADA Carbon Solutions, please visit the company's website at www.ADA-CS.com.
In May 2008, Energy Capital Partners and Redbird Gas Storage LLC formed Cardinal Gas Storage Partners LLC, focusing on the development, construction, operation and management of natural gas storage facilities in North America.

In September 2015, Energy Capital acquired Terra-Gen, LLC, an owner, operator and developer of utility-scale renewable and clean energy assets. The Company's 694 MW portfolio spans 22 facilities throughout the western United States and includes a diverse mix of wind (538 MW), solar thermal (89 MW) and geothermal (67 MW) plants.
The assets are located primarily in California, with additional capacity located in Nevada, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado and Minnesota and are characterized by an exceptionally strong operating track record.
The Terra-Gen business is highlighted by its premier operating wind portfolio located primarily in Tehachapi and Palm Springs, California. Adjacent to the Los Angeles load pocket, these two regions hold significant locational value and boast some of the state's best wind resources, along with a recently upgraded transmission infrastructure which allows Terra-Gen to directly deliver renewable power to end markets from San Francisco to San Diego.

In March 2016, ECP closed an investment in Sunnova Energy Corp., a leading residential solar company. Sunnova finances, operates and manages residential solar systems for customers primarily in the United States. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Sunnova currently operates throughout the United States and is in the business of acquiring and managing residential solar projects with 25-year contracts. Sunnova's business model relies on an extensive network of regional channel partners for originating, developing and servicing systems. The market for residential solar developers and installers in the United States is highly fragmented owing to localized regulations, permitting processes, and customer demographics. By enabling Sunnova's channel partners to creatively grow their business and customer base, we believe that Sunnova's partnering model results in a lower cost and more efficient origination approach.
The distributed solar sector has been rapidly expanding, driven by significant declines in solar project installation costs, rising utility rates, greater customer choice and state and federal environmental regulations supporting carbon-free and distributed electricity.

Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, who was part of the Apollo 14 space crew that flew to the moon in 1971, died late Thursday in West Palm Beach, according to his family.
Mitchell, 85, lived in suburban Lake Worth and died at a local hospice at about 10 p.m. Thursday, his daughter, former West Palm Beach City Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell told The Palm Beach Post.
Mitchell's ex-wife, Anita Mitchell, is a former Republican Party chairman for Palm Beach County and is currently former Florida governor and presidential candidate Jeb Bush's Palm Beach County campaign chairman.

Mitchell was the sixth man to walk on the moon. He was part of a three-man crew, with Alan Shepard Jr. and Stuart Roosa, who took part in the Apollo 14 space mission. It was the eighth manned mission in the United States Apollo program and they became the third ever to land on the moon. Mitchell was the lunar module pilot on the mission.
Apollo 14 launched just over 45 years ago, on Jan. 31, 1971. The nine-day mission ended Feb. 9 when the crew landed in the South Pacific Ocean.
Unlike other astronauts who tend to live reclusive lives, Mitchell remained in the public eye.
In 2011, he turned over the camera he took to the moon to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington. The U.S. government filed a lawsuit against him in that same year, saying he stole the camera. Mitchell denied the allegations and said if it wasn't for him, the camera would have never made it back to Earth.

Mitchell was born in Hereford, Texas, on Sept. 17, 1930 but considered his hometown Artesia, N.M., near Roswell. Mitchell was open about his views on the paranormal and psychic, and he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which sponsors research into the nature of consciousness, or studying the unexplained. In his 1996 memoir, "The Way of the Explorer," he described the experience on his return to Earth as life-changing.
"What I experienced during that three-day trip home was nothing short of an overwhelming sense of universal connectedness. I actually felt what has been described as an ecstasy of unity," he said.
Thirteen days after saying their final farewells to a Sharolyn Jackson, a Philadelphia family got a pleasant surprise when they found Jackson alive and well.
The fifty-year-old was pronounced dead after a body matching her description was found on a street corner on July 20. (Via Daily Mirror)
The body was identified as Jackson by her son and a friend, and was buried under Jackson's name on August 3. (Via Legacy)
But just 13 days after her funeral, Jackson's son Travis discovered his mother alive and well at a psychiatric institution in central Philadelphia. (Via New York Daily News)
Jackson's father, Dave Minnie, told KYW about the moment he learned his daughter was alive after all.
"You know how you feel that you're just about to get over it? That she's dead, and then Travis comes here with the news that she's alive."
Jackson's family was obviously overjoyed to have her back, but the question remains: who is buried in Jackson's grave? The Daily Mail says authorities are trying to find that out.
A writer for The Stir comments the mystery woman the Jacksons laid to rest must put a bit of a damper on the family's reunion.
"Sure, your mom is OK, but who knows who this other woman has left behind ... and they haven't even had the comfort of being able to say goodbye to their loved one. Talk about a mixed blessing!"
Authorities are now seeking a court order to exhume the body. The unknown woman died of natural causes on July 20.

I mentioned the testing of banner ads in my post on Google's search UI changes yesterday, but such a big change deserves more attention.
In a nutshell, Google is testing banner ads on branded searches for 30 different advertisers, including Virgin America and Crate & Barrel.
I've rounded up the views of several search marketers on the tests being carried out by Google...
Google and banner ads: what's the big deal?
Well, many people are seeing this as a betrayal of Google's principles, as Marissa Mayer promised in 2005 that:
There will be no banner ads on the Google homepage or web search results pages. There will not be crazy, flashy, graphical doodads flying and popping up all over the Google site. Ever.
Here's the example of the ad that has been circulating, for a search on 'Southwest Airlines':
This has the effect of pushing other search results down the page, allowing these brands to dominate more space on branded search results pages.
From the screenshot above, it does appear that the ad consists of the image and a repeat of the brand's organic listings, but Search Engine Land points out that the ad consists of the image only, which is clickable.
If this is the case, you do wonder whether people would choose to click the image rather than the listings below, which would come more naturally to the average searcher.
Also, given the various stats on the effectiveness of banner ads, it seems to be more of a branding exercise than anything else.
I asked some search marketers for their views on the trials...
Why is Google trialling banner ads in search? Do you think these will be limited to branded searches?
Andrew Girdwood, Media Innovations Director at LBi
The search results are becoming far more visual and interactive. Google is looking to solve a greater number of queries in the shortest time possible and this even means search results that don't require searchers to leave Google. To compete with this visual ads become attractive and perhaps even necessary.
We had very big news with Ad Rank this week that changed the very core of how PPC ad placement worked. Google added in the importance of visual impact and interaction of ads by looking at the effect of Extensions. It's no surprise that Google is testing large banners.
Baidu does something similar with branded responses and it can work very well. If Google follows the Baidu model then it'll be limited to brand terms.
Dan Thornton, Founder at TheWayoftheWeb:
There are two reasons for Google to trial banner ads in search. The first is that constant testing is more of a core Google value to the company than a promise never to clutter up search results with graphics. And Baidu has been operating something similar for a while.
The second, less charitable, interpretation is that it wants to attract more spend from large brands across an expanding range of features to offset any erosion in Adwords advertising rates.
It makes logical sense to limit these to branded searches to avoid too many complaints from users, and to also avoid negatively impacting Adwords competition on product search results or more generic searches.
Julia Logan, SEO consultant (AKA Irish Wonder):
I can see how these will be attractive as an option in AdWords for large brands, so it's possibly an extra source of income for Google, with possible premium pricing, or e.g. only available to big spenders.
My colleagues who used to be involved in building scraper sites back in the day are joking that Google has learned from us :-) The visitor enters a page where there is no other option left but click the banner: CTR through the roof, perfect monetisation model.
Pete Whitmarsh, Head of PPC at Search Laboratory:
They establish a massive dominance for the top result on a PPC campaign. It is an instant indication to a user that they are looking at the right listing and should click on it.
Additionally, it can't be overlooked that this will increase CTR of the top paid ad which is going to increase the revenue that Google make from these.
I feel it has to be limited to brand. If first position on a generic search started showing such a dominant listing then it would be almost impossible to compete from lower positions. It would just become a war of people trying to out-bid each other for top spot.
Since they are for branded queries at the moment, what is the benefit for the brands in question? Will they work?
Andrew Girdwood:
Banner ads add more brand strength to PPC engagement. They'll help also with attribution and analysis of banners.
I do think these banner ads will work. They'll be especially effective in the short term as searchers see them for the first time. Will they work in the long term? It depends on how expensive they are.
Dan Thornton:
As these are existing brand searches, and the addition is simply a banner image to complement the existing organic search results, the main benefit is adding impact to the most desired result and links for a brand.
Although Adwords doesn't prohibit a rival attempting to advertise on a trademarked keyword, essentially Google is turning brand search results pages into a landing page for each business, with additional information pulled from Wikipedia, Google+ etc.
Whether or not they work really depends on the objective for a brand. They probably won't harm the click through rates for the top search results in any case.
Ashleigh Brown, Senior Search Engine Marketing Manager at Browser Media:
They appear to take up a lot of space on the page so may attract clicks over the brand's organic listing, therefore making Google more money.
They will benefit the brands in question by taking the focus off the competitor's ads that are also bidding on their brand, but I would think they are more likely to be clicked on so, the brand's PPC spend should go up and number of organic brand clicks go down.
I'm not sure if it'll stick to just brand searches, if Google only shows the banners for ads in the top spot, that would encourage people to aim for that, and therefore make them more money so I wouldn't be surprised if they expand it to non-brand searches too.
Julia Logan:
One thing I thought of immediately is how this will affect online reputation of said brands. The large banner is taking up most of the screen space, automatically pushing any non-brand URLs below the fold.
In the current form, there is little functional benefit in these banners, e.g. no possibility of any transactions without leaving Google, no real integration with the brand site in the SERPs, but there is a possibility that Google will be interested in moving in that direction, akin to its lead generating model in the finance related SERPs.
Pete Whitmarsh:
I think it could have a strong impact for brands with a large competition on Google. One major impact could be for brands who end up competing with their own resellers.
If they get the banner listing then they could start to dominate the SERP and steal a large percentage of the clicks from the competition.
Comments (8)
No banner ads appear on the Google homepage or web search results pages other. We would have done it long ago.
There isn't any real issue for me in this as long as the banner ads only appear for branded terms as the search demonstrates strong intent and affinity. If the banners started appearing in search listings where there were non branded searches I would find that a little irritating.
It is the sudden change, but reasonable. So if you remove the ad banner, we will easily guide the user to the search results are more accurate
This may well prove advantageous for brands pushing for position over their affiliate partners for own-brand searches. Affiliates often bid aggressively for high-converting brand traffic; will affiliates be able to appear for brand searches?...probably not.
Interesting article.
My thoughts are that it's great for brands trying to stop competitors and re-sellers stealing their bacon.
As long as Google keeps this limited to brand terms only then i don't have an issue with it at all.
The only other thing i;m thinking is will the cost of brand clicks increase? Could be a revenue based decision from Google's perspective! Also the ad takes up more room pushing organic listings further down the page :-)
Great article.
The only share option i can see is the LinkedIn one? The left-hand share module seems to be broken, it just looks like loads of grey boxes with no buttons or share totals within them.
Hope that helps...

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) February 01, 2013
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads vocalist Ashley Brown in a performance of beloved Broadway hits on Thursday, February 21 at 8 p.m. at the Music Center at Strathmore and Friday, February 22 at 8 p.m., Saturday, February 23 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, February 24 at 3 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Ms. Brown, known as Broadway's original Mary Poppins, will perform popular Broadway selections including "Make Someone Happy," "A Spoon Full of Sugar," "Le Jazz Hot," "Defying Gravity" from Wicked and more. Also on the program is a medley of popular Disney tunes, including "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" from Cinderella, "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, "Someday My Prince Will Come" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty. Please see below for complete program details.
Broadway, or "The Great White Way," is famous for bringing the best of the best to the stage. Its renowned shows feature some of the most talented singers and actors of the day including the "golden throated" Ashley Brown. Ms. Brown's career flourished on the Broadway stage where she starred as Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and then as everyone's favorite nanny in "Mary Poppins." Showbiz Chicago calls Ms. Brown "the most versatile and noteworthy young talent on the Broadway stages," making her the perfect voice for this all-Broadway performance.
The program will feature Broadway classics including "Make Someone Happy," "A Spoon Full of Sugar," "Le Jazz Hot" and more. The Broadway classic "Make Someone Happy" originated from the 1960 musical "Do Re Mi" but went on to become more popular than the show itself. The song has been immortalized in the recordings of Judy Garland, Doris Day, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin and many other artists.
"A Spoon Full of Sugar" is originally from Disney's 1964 hit musical film Mary Poppins. The piece is a musical delight that will shine when performed by Broadway's original Mary Poppins, Ashley Brown.
The program also includes "Le Jazz Hot," a song originally from the 1982 musical film Victor Victoria which debuted on Broadway in 1995. While both Mary Poppins and Victor Victoria starred the brilliant Julie Andrews, "Le Jazz Hot" leaves behind all notions of childhood as it submerges itself into the darkness of 1930s Paris.
This performance will highlight many more of these Broadway classics from this one amazing stage.
Jack Everly, conductor
Jack Everly is the Principal Pops Conductor of the Baltimore and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestras, Naples Philharmonic Orchestra and National Arts Centre Orchestra (Ottawa), and the Music Director of the National Memorial Day Concert and A Capitol Fourth on PBS.
Mr. Everly is the Music Director of Yuletide Celebration, now a 26‐year tradition. These theatrical symphonic holiday concerts are presented annually in December in Indianapolis and are seen by more than 40,000 concert‐goers.

Mr. Everly has teamed with Marvin Hamlisch in Broadway shows including The Goodbye Girl, They're Playing Our Song, and A Chorus Line. He conducted Carol Channing hundreds of times in Hello, Dolly! in two separate Broadway productions.
Mr. Everly has conducted the songs for Disney's animated classic, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and led the Czech Philharmonic on the recordings In the Presence and Sandi Patty's 2011 release, Broadway Stories. He also conducted the critically praised Everything's Coming Up Roses: The Complete Overtures of Broadway's Jule Styne.
In 1998, Jack Everly created the Symphonic Pops Consortium, serving as Music Director. The
Consortium, based in Indianapolis, produces a new theatrical pops program each season. In the past 12 years, more than 225 performances of SPC programs have taken place across the U.S. and Canada.
In May 2009, Maestro Everly received an honorary doctorate of arts from Franklin College in his home state of Indiana.
Ashley Brown, vocalist
Ashley Brown recently finished her run in Los Angeles in the title role in Disney's national tour of Mary Poppins where she garnered a 2010 Garland award for "Best Performance in a Musical." Ms. Brown originated the title role of Mary Poppins on Broadway for which she received Outer Critics, Drama League and Drama Desk nominations for Best Actress. Ms. Brown's other Broadway credits include Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and she has starred in the national tour of Disney's On the Record.

Future projects include concerts at the Kennedy Center and with the NY Pops, Detroit, Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Memphis and Houston orchestras.

USS Mohawk home to underwater artwork
Southwest Florida has a new underwater attraction. An art gallery is now attached to the USS Mohawk – the World War II ship that was sunk 28-miles from Sanibel Island to form an artificial reef.
Most divers go into the Gulf of Mexico to see beauty already there - few add to it.
"We're going to install art on the side of the ship," explained Steve Shimp, boat captain and diver.
It was an underwater mission that involved 75 divers and one photographer responsible for bringing the two worlds together.
Andreas Franke told us he first photographed the Mohawk two weeks after it sunk.
The Austrian artist explained he then used those very images and superimposed onto them pictures of models dressed as they would have looked during World War II.
Then, each work was encased in steel-framed Plexiglas before divers used magnets to attach the art to the Mohawk. A slideshow of images can be seen below this article.
Previous stories about the USS Mohawk
Franke led the effort that took place 90-feet below the surface.
"I'm a photographer as well as a diver," Franke said. "My main job is to find the right place for each image."
By the end of the day, 12 pieces were in place.
"Go wreck diving and bring both things together - diving and photography. It couldn't be better," said Franke after the dive.
It was the third underwater project for an artist who says he's not worried about theft.
"Each magnet holds 120 pounds and we have five on each. So one person can't remove it anyhow," Franke said.
The USS Mohawk has a heroic history. The crew survived Nazi U-boats, rescued survivors of torpedo attacks and was the last ship to radio General Dwight D. Eisenhower that the weather was clearing for the D-Day invasion.
"And so for me, it's like a stage and I bring life back to the shipwreck," Franke said.
Franke's art will remain underwater for four months. And he says whatever grows on the glass is up to nature.
"I love what the sea is doing to the pictures," he said.
In October, the images will go on display at Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers.
"We'll hang this in a gallery so everybody can see this - not only divers," Franke said.
"It will be like Christmas, it will be like opening a present to see how all of that has affected it," added Pamela Beckman, with Alliance for the Arts.
Make sure to check out multiple videos from the sinking of the Mohawk.

Name: Heinerle
Age: 6.5 Years
Owner: Ellen Schindler
Hometown: Auckland, WA
Likes: food and his two can openers, hunting for dry food
Dislikes: sound of cello tape, being told off
Ellen Schindler says:
Heinerle is a rag doll told us the vet. He adopted us about 2.5 years ago, he came wandering from god knows where and stayed with us after I gave him some mercy food I fetched from the neighbour. He is as devoted to us than we are to him. He loves company and tries to be around me while gardening, cooking, exercising..... We taught him to hunt for his dry food, 1/3 of it is hidden all around the house, 1/3 put into his ball with a hole and the other 1/3 we throw and he chases it. He just loves it and is not happy if we just give it to him.
