A lasting love
Peggy was still a teen when her University of Oregon roommate, Claire, fixed her up with Van, a friend of Claire's boyfriend. She enjoyed her blind date with the World War II veteran, even if he did attend arch-rival Oregon State.
"He's a joker," Peggy recalled. "He was always cracking wise. That's the kind I liked."
Actually, Van claimed, "What she liked was my good looks."
As for Van, he hadn't planned on finding a girlfriend so soon, let alone a wife. Just back from a stint in the Navy, he was ready to sow some wild oats.
But he let his buddy, Lou, talk him into a blind date. Pretty Peggy did the rest.
As it happened, that blind date ignited a love that would last a lifetime.
"She swept me off my feet," Van said. "She's a keeper.
"I love her so very, very much. I thank God for her every day."
The Vandeheys moved to Vineyard Heights last year, but it's really a return to McMinnville, rather than a relocation.
"We've been deeply involved in McMinnville over the years," Van said, noting he still has a Pendleton wool coat he bought at Hamblin Wheeler, a popular men's store that stood for decades at the corner of Third and Davis.
While Peggy was born in Klamath Falls and raised in California, Van grew up in Yamhilll County, where he had extended family.
He was born in Roy, north of Gaston. Just after his first birthday, a few weeks before his sister was born, his father died in a car wreck.
His mother moved to McMinnville to be near her parents, the Hermens. They lived in the Masonville area, where they donated land for the Masonville School.
Van went to St. James Catholic School for eight years. When he wasn't in school, he spent time on relatives' farms, helped out around the house or stacked wood.
Times were hard.
"I remember complaining to my mother about the patches on my knees," he said. She told him not to complain. At least he had clean pants to wear.
In 1937, when he was 15, his mother died. That left him and his 14-year-old sister, Alberta, on their own.
"Uncle Bill" Bernards, a 60-year-old bachelor, took the teens in. Van said he didn't appreciate then what he knows now: How hard it must have been for Bernards to bring two teens into his house, and how much he did for them.
Van graduated from McMinnvillle's public high school, Lincoln High, in 1940.
Billy Maxwell was the principal of the school, a massive brick building located where a shopping center now sits, at 12th and Baker streets. Graduating classes posed on the steps of the gym, which was where Shari's is today.
Van's high school friends knew him as "Norb." He didn't pick up his "Van" nickname until WWII, when his buddies shortened his Dutch surname of Vandehey, which means "from the highland."
"In Holland, that means about 30 feet up," he joked, noting the region is known for lowlands, not highlands.
Van played percussion in the high school band.
One day, preparing for a parade, the musicians loaded up on the fire department's hook and ladder rig. He chose to sit at the end of the ladder, which cantilevered from the truck, dangling his legs as he pounded the drum.
Within a year or two, he had a different mission: Like most young men of his era, Van found himself in the service. He was turned into an electronics technician's mate in the Navy's Pacific fleet.
Many times, he said, he would sit on the bow of the ship, watching the flying fish, and wondering what he'd do when he returned home.
He liked agriculture and building, so he figured he might become an agricultural engineer. With that goal in mind, he enrolled at OSU on the GI Bill.
Many of his fellow vets were on campus, too.
"We ex-GIs walked about six feet above the ground," he said. "We'd just won the war!"
They were men of the world, not innocent students. So they didn't feel like they had to abide by the campus rules that forbade casual corduroys for freshmen, smoking on campus and anything but Beaver clothes on Wednesdays.
They even scoffed at the college's "new" buildings, which were recycled from the military base at Camp Adair. "Cardboard palaces," the former soldiers called them.
"I figured my life had been interrupted by the war," Van said. He was ready for adventure. Settling down wasn't on his agenda.
But he didn't scoff at the chance for female companionship when Lou asked him to serve as a date for one of Claire's friends, He recalled waiting outside a Corvallis barn on a cold January night while Lou drove to Eugene to pick up the girls.
Peggy remembered the night that she, Claire and several other girls piled into Lou's car. "I'd just broken up with my boyfriend. It was January and we were bored. So I said I'd go," she said.
The barn dance was fun, she said, and she got along well with Van, an "older man" of 24. They arranged for another date, and another — usually outdoor activities with Lou and Claire or other friends.
"Suddenly, I was enthralled by this beautiful coed," Van said. "Lou and I would drive to Eugene and I'd see Peggy on the balcony. Oh, boy. I was in bad shape."
Then one weekend, the guys planned a ski trip. Claire was ready to go, but Peggy said no. She would rather go to Roseburg to visit relatives.
"I thought that was the kiss off," Van said. He was ready to spend the day on the slopes moping, but his friends had other ideas.
"They worked on me all day on the mountain, and got me to meet her bus when she came back to Eugene," he said. "Then we decided to get married."
Both he and Peggy have thanked Lou and Claire many times for helping them find each other.
The coupled married in McMinnville on Dec. 29, 1947, between college terms. Many of Van's cousins attended the wedding, and that worried the groom.
It was very common back then to have some fun with the betrothed couple, Van said.
Everyone was still talking about the latest wedding hijinx. When Ivan and Nan Bernards got hitched, the guys made the groom push the bride down Third Street in a wheelbarrow.
"I was worried about what they'd come up with for us," he said.
Sure enough, a wheelbarrow showed up at St. James Church. But Father Julius Hermens, another cousin of Van, noticed it and promised some kids a $5 bill if they would make it disappear.
Father Hermens proceeded to conduct the ceremony, which went off without a hitch.
It seemed that only one thing would go wrong that day: Afterward, when they had their photos taken, the camera broke. So they ended up with only one wedding picture.
Wedding guests joined the couple for a reception in the old Oregon Hotel, now McMenamins Hotel Oregon. Then, planning to visit Peggy's family in the Napa Valley, the newlyweds headed south in their 1937 Plymouth — only to find that pranksters had smeared limburger cheese on the manifold.
"It stunk for a month," Peggy recalled.
They returned to college, this time both at OSU. Van went on to graduate on schedule, but Peggy quit school to tend to their first child. She returned later to earn her teaching credential.
Van, who had changed his major to education during his senior year, had done his practice teaching with Paul Patrick at his alma mater in McMinnville. After graduating, he applied for an opening for a vocational and agricultural teacher at Sheridan High School.
He scheduled an interview with the school board. As he waited his turn, as board members talked with another candidate, he could hear convival laughter.
"That's it," Van figured. "He's got it."
He recalled, "They asked me one question: 'If we hire you, what would you do?'" And that threw him for a loop.
Weeks passed with no word. So Patrick encouraged him to drive to Sheridan and find out his fate in person.
Van confronted Frank Smith, the high school principal, who later became his good friend. "Did I forget to call and tell you you're hired?" Smith asked.
Van spent 10 years in Sheridan. Then he switched careers to become a 4-H agent, first in Albany and later in Eugene.
He was an active member of the Kiwanis Club for more than 50 years.
Long retired, the Vandeheys moved from Eugene to McMinnville to be near their offspring, most of whom live in the northern Willamette Valley.
Eldest Ted lives in Portland, second-oldest Beth in Medford, middle child Patrick in Newberg, second-youngest Susan Edwards in McMinnville and youngest Bob in Portland. The "Van Clan" also includes 10 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
"We're very proud and blessed with our family. Our kids are so wonderful," Van said. "They all come to see us. What a blessing they are."

As I posted earlier in this blog, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) will be closed to the public during its move to a new site. The closure is planned for September 2010; the re-opening, May 2011. At least one genealogical society has crossed Belfast off its itinerary during this time period. But PRONI is not the only reason to visit Belfast or the northern counties for genealogical research. Hopefully, the PRONI closure will open researchers' eyes to other resources available in the northern counties. No need to cancel a visit!
Fintan Mullan of the Ulster Historical Foundation (UHF) assured me that there are many other options for the visiting researcher in the northern counties. I heard Fintan speak at a conference sponsored by the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania held in Valley Forge on March 13th. He and Dr. Brian Trainor packed a ton of information into the day-long conference.
I asked Fintan if researchers should wait until PRONI reopens before visiting Belfast for research purposes. His response:
"Obviously when PRONI is closed this will severely limit the research possibilities but there are other options to pursue when [in Belfast], e.g., Ulster Historical Foundation itself, Linen Hall Library, Belfast Central Library and the Newspaper Library, Presbyterian Historical Society, Wesley Historical Society, local libraries across NI, Armagh Ancestry, Derry Genealogy, Irish World, Donegal Ancestry, Cavan Genealogy..."
Sounds like enough reasons to visit Northern Ireland to me!
I often hear two versions of the "Ireland trip" from fellow family historians: either they spent all their time in the major archives (PRONI, National Library, etc) and did not "sightsee" OR they "had no time to research because it was a 'pleasure' trip." Perhaps the PRONI closure will open some eyes to the pleasures and rewards of combining sightseeing with local research--spending an afternoon in a small library or cemetery, talking with the locals about the history of the town or region. Stop and smell the heather in the hills of Northern Ireland and view the land and sky as your ancestors did. Infuse yourself with the sights and sounds and smells of the place, and you will infuse your family history research with a new life. Trust me--there is merit to getting out of the archives and allowing fate and ancestors to guide your adventure. So, don't cancel that trip just because the record office is closed!
I asked Fintan what common mistakes he sees among researchers from outside Ireland and whether he had any advice. Fintan said that the most common mistake is "trying to start research in Ireland with too little information, or attempting to start when on a holiday." His advice is to do as much research in your home country as possible, as "you never know when a small crumb of information can help open a new lead when you have run into a brick wall."
He also noted that we researchers should take notice of sources such as old gravestone inscriptions in a forgotten corner of a place where our ancestors might have spent some time. I thought this nugget of advice was a good one, particularly for American researchers whose ancestors did not stay in one place after emigrating from Ireland. Too often we focus on the records available in the places where our ancestors were born and died, and we don't pay enough attention to what they did--or who they left behind--during their life trek through various locations.
Note: I want to thank Fintan and Dr. Brian Trainor for coming to Philadelphia to share their knowledge, and also to thank the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania for sponsoring the conference. The full room, in the midst of a terrible storm that closed many area roads, attested to the growing interest in Irish genealogy among Delaware Valley residents.
Note: The Ulster Historical Foundation, in partnership with the University of Ulster, is running the Ulster History and Genealogy Summer School 2010 from the 20th through the 26th of June. Participants will be able to register as part time students of the University for the duration of the school. Visits to historic and research sites are planned. See the UHF website for more information.

Reality is quite different. Indigenous population in major cities in
Australia is very small, and it's hard to meet native Australians on the
streets of Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide.
The only touches of Aboriginal culture are artifacts like boomerangs,
paintings, and musical instruments such as didjeridoo and rainstick which
you can buy in souvenir shops.
The reason why there is not much of aboriginal culture left lies in the
events back in 1700's and continued until the mid 20th century. Shortly
after colonisation, aboriginals were ruthlessly attacked by white colonizers
on the southeast territories of Australia. Many of the Aboriginals died
from diseases brought to Australia (such as the common cold), due to the
fact that they had never been exposed to these sicknesses.
Nowadays the elements of reconciliation with indigenous population of
Australia are a very important part of the Australian political life.
Hot discussions inflame around the lack of official public apologies of
the Australian government for the so called 'Stolen Generation' of aboriginals,
as well as numerous social privileges reserved specifically for the indigenous
population of Australia.
Apart from reading about politics in the newspapers the only place I
know where tourists could experience Aboriginal culture and traditions
is the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.
It is located in the far north of Australia, near Cairns city. You can
see traditional dance, learn how to paint boomerang and throw it so it
comes back.

Sorority Girl Email, It's been the rant read 'round the world this week -- its prose so gloriously profane and its priorities so shockingly misplaced that the Web hasn't been able to look away.
Since first shared a week ago Thursday by Gawker, under the headline "The Most Deranged Sorority Girl Email You Will Ever Read," an excoriating screed from an officer of the Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Maryland to her sisters has gone viral with a capital "V..REPORTED
Which, in this case, could also stand for a part of the anatomy she threatens to "punt" if her sisters don't stop being "so f---ing BORING" and "so f---ing AWKWARD" at sorority events. Except she uses a less clinical term.
It's an exercise in digital rage ("I would apologize but I really don't give a f---. Go f--- yourself") worthy of a Quentin Tarantino curse-a-thon or a David Mamet dressing-down. And it has, in fact, gotten the Hollywood treatment, with actor Michael Shannon delivering a hilariously unhinged version for "Funny or Die."
But it also hammers home a digital-era lesson that common sense suggests would have been clear a decade ago, but which example after example shows remains lost on many of us: If you share something with anyone on the Web, it's liable to be shared with everyone on the Web. And the fallout won't always be pleasant.
"In this Internet day and age, just assume that everything you put out into the ethers in writing is the equivalent of LiveJournals of yore," said Brenna Ehrlich, a senior editor at MTV and a CNN Tech contributor who has written about online etiquette. "Someone is going to read it and mock you. Proceed carefully."
We covered this in 3 of the 12 entries in our own "Rules of the Internet" earlier this year:
Anything you post will eventually become public
Anything you post can and will be used against you
If you post something epically stupid, it will go viral
To be sure, the Web hasn't been overly kind to the scribe who brought us such pearls as "News flash you stupid c---s: FRATS DON'T LIKE BORING SORORITIES." Shannon's send-up has been joined by other parodies, from a straight-faced version from Alison Haislip of "The Nerdist" to this dramatic reading by a Barbie doll.
Closer to home, the young woman's sorority has said it will take "all appropriate action" to deal with her malevolent missive. (Note: The writer has been identified online, but CNN Tech is not doing so here).
Of course, she's not the first to have a private moment of outrage go oh-so public.
There was the profane "counteroffer" from a woman after being denied a job with the San Diego Padres after 30 tries; the mother-in-law now famous for blasting her son's bride as a gold-digging, ill-mannered freeloader; the guy who takes fantasy football way too seriously.
(On the flip side, reviews may be more positive if you are a professor who tells a rude student, "Get your s--- together.")
So why do folks vent spleen so freely in a digital age?
"Even when confronted with countless examples of offensive, dumb or clueless content that's gone viral, most people think it just won't happen to them, that what they say isn't significant enough to even get attention," said Michael Fertik, founder and CEO of Reputation.com. "It's a classic human response, but it's completely wrong."
Multiple factors contributed to the sorority rant lighting up the Web, said Fertik: The "mean girls" stereotype. The surprise factor of "something so vulgar and crude being spouted by someone who looks fairly angelic." The fact that a quick search of her social media accounts revealed other less-than-politic moments.
As with similar cases, a single moment of Greek Week rage could follow our protagonist for years.
"The Internet is forever," Fertik said. "Unfortunately for her, her 'online tattoo' will stick with her for a long, long time -- and it will likely color how peers, future employers, grad school admissions officers, etc., regard her as a person. She's going to have to work very hard to show that she's taken this experience and used it to grow into a more mature, thoughtful, tolerant and compassionate person."

Night of awards
More than one-third of the graduating class of 216 was recognized with a little more than $2 million in financial awards or other honors in front of a packed house at the Wapakoneta Performing Arts Center Tuesday.
"We thought this was an exceptional class," Wapakoneta High School Principal Aaron Rex said. "We really pushed kids to apply for scholarships this year. The parents and our guidance counselors deserve a lot of the credit — and the students should be proud of their hard work in the class and at home. The students will be able to come out of college without as much debt."
Amy Snider, the daughter of Cindy and Rick Snider, received a bevy of awards and scholarships during the ceremony, including the Carl Elliot Award and the Bill Chrismer Award.
The Carl Elliot Award is awarded in memory of Carl Elliot, who was killed in 1944 while serving in the Pacific Theater during World War II shortly after graduation from Blume High School. The award represents a student with strong leadership skills, character and responsibility. The Chrismer award is presented to the best overall student in the graduating class and comes with a $1,000 scholarship.
"Right now I feel like it is quite a blessing," Snider said following the ceremony. "It is sort of humbling. It is definitely an honor that they felt I deserved it."
Snider's father said his daughter's success was a culmination of hard work.
"There was many times I found her working on her school work past midnight," Rick Snider said. "I would have to tell her to go to bed. Then she would always be the first one up in the morning at 5 a.m. working again."
Snider's mother said her success was kind of ironic.
"Amy has a servant's heart and wants to continue to serve people," Cindy Snider said. "Because of other people's generosity, she has gotten some good things back and it allows her to go back out there and keep on serving."
Snider plans to attend Huntington University in Indiana and will study education and missions.
"I am not sure what I am going to do yet," Amy Snider said. "I just want to be with kids — whether it be as a teacher or missions or something else, I want to be with kids."
Trevor Hayes was also honored numerous times, receiving the Paul E. Fisher Jr. award and the Scott Lahmon scholarship. The Lahmon scholarship is named in honor of a 1988 Wapakoneta graduate who was working as a Wapakoneta Daily News sportswriter who died in a car crash.
"I was totally surprised," Hayes said. "A lot of awards were on the wall by the office and I didn't see my name. I didn't realize how much I had saved until my dad figured it up. I have about three-fourths of what I will owe for going to school."
Hayes mother, Joretta, said her son has developed the work ethic that will make him successful.
"He is an incredible boy," Joretta Hayes said. "Over the course of high school he has worked hard and his faith and values are important to him. He is a man of his word."
Hayes plans to attend Cedarville University and will pursue a degree in graphic design. He hopes to become a cartoonist.
Three graduating seniors — Stephanie Greve, Sierra Williams and Kaleb Hilleary — were given full scholarships after signing up for the military. Hilleary was met with an ovation after it was announce that he intended to hold off on college so he could volunteer for service in Afghanistan.
The military awards were in addition to all other education benefits already available to military.
Kelsi Rupersburg was named the recipient of the Bill Heil Scholarship award in memory of the former St. Joseph School janitor.
"We were glad to see the big turnout," Rex said after the ceremony. "We like to see the parents here and see their children rewarded for their hard work. Its nice to see the kids get some recognition for their hard work."
A total of 42 separate awards were given out to the students.

Do y'all have any idea how fortunate we are to have such a capable National Guard to protect us?
While they're often overlooked in terms of the different branches of the military service, the National Guard, under the umbrella of the U.S. Army, plays a critical role in protecting the homeland—both here at home and overseas in combat.
Natural disaster? They're here. Combat overseas? They're there, too.

There Is Talk About Regulations, but Some Companies Are Helping the Growth of Cryptocurrency Like Bitcoin While Others Are Hurting It
There Is Talk About Regulations, but Some Companies Are Helping the Growth of Cryptocurrency Like Bitcoin While Others Are Hurting It
MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - February 07, 2014) - When Development Capital Group went to the North American Bitcoin Conference we met with many of the leading people in the industry on cryptocurrencies, and received a lot of opinions on the future of the market. Last week, Development Capital published an article called "Bitcoin Arrives" which went over cryptocurrency from a historical and ideological perspective by highlighting some key information in the industry.
It seems that people are moving past the idea that these cryptocurrencies, like "Bitcoin," will be used for illegal activity. Whether it was a payment processor, a merchant, a banker, or a government official, each had their individual opinions about how to properly handle it. One side is talking about how the United States government will come in and regulate the newly adopted payment processor, while some are arguing about how it's a temporary thing and going away.
In New York, the Bitcoin community met with regulators to negotiate how to handle this new form or system of payment. The New York Department of Financial Services discussed about "BitLicense" as a potential requirement since the digital currency exchange platforms that are popping up are now deemed "transmitters of money." If the company is accepting a FIAT currency into Bitcoin, and exchanging it among users as well as different currencies, the company is being categorized as a transmitter of money, and this is a place where the government is required to regulate how these transactions are handled.
The New York State Attorney's Office charged Charlie Shrem, CEO of BitInstant, for facilitating in a money laundering scheme, who oddly enough was suppose to be at the North America Bitcoin Conference. The focus in this case though is not the use of Bitcoin itself but the way he transacted with Silk Road users. The same process of money laundering can be done with cash, gold, or wire fraud. Government officials are looking at the lack of regulation that is surrounding Bitcoin.
Other than regulation, it's important to watch how companies are reacting to this lack of government oversight. Yesterday, we saw a big blow to the Bitcoin community when Apple removed the last Bitcoin wallet app Blockchain from their app store. Bitstamp dropped as low as $752 yesterday with the release of this information, which seems to be a reaction to the news. This still seems to be pretty stable compared to the 50% drop when China's biggest Bitcoin exchange, BTCChina, stopped accepting deposits in Chinese yuan in December. The market has seemed to be less volatile recently when China allowed the acceptance of the Chinese yuan again this past week.
As more governments are opening up to digital currencies, we are seeing more support from big companies. Overstock's CEO Jonathan Johnson is active in the limelight on his personal investment in Bitcoin and started accepting Bitcoin at Overstock. Now Overstock is discussing about accepting the less talked about altcoins. Accepting Bitcoin for companies has brought in some pretty good press and sales. TigerDirect accepted Bitcoin, and did $250,000 in sales in 17 hours. Now we see more companies that are accepting Bitcoin like Tesla, Zynga, Domino's Pizza, Virgin Galactic, Wordpress, and many more.
There is much speculation about the market with numerous articles covering various movements. The Google support team discusses their integration of Bitcoin for Google Play, while Google Ventures has funded a Bitcoin startup called Ripple. Overstock.com's CEO claims it's a matter of time before Amazon accepts Bitcoin. Ebay has publicly backed the idea of integrating Bitcoin while Coinbase has recently received $25 million from Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
What we are seeing is a pretty positive growth in the market, and a lot of attention from various venture capital and investment companies. If we look at the price of Bitcoin we are seeing it continue to go up with some reversals, but ultimately in an upward trend. We see a lot of activity in this market and continue to monitor what is happening in the industry.

Some time ago I've written about some interesting upcoming games that are expected to have official 3D Stereo support available in them in the form of anaglyph or 3D Vision S3D support and Disney's G-Force game was among them. Now the game is out and it really disappointed a lot of people expecting it to be good in 3D especially when combined with Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision kit simply because the PC version doesn't support any form of stereo 3D – not in anaglyph or 3D Vision. Now we did not expect to have some sort of a great game coming out for something that is based on a movie, because most of the movie-based games are coming out to be average at best with lot of them raging from total bullshit to something that might be considered for a good time waster. You can say that Disney's G-Force is below the average, but still might be fun for some kids to play it and the thing that might've made it worth playing was the expected 3D Stereo support which did not happen for the PC version of the game… why?
Anyway, you should be aware that Disney's G-Force Game is available with versions for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP so you can pretty much get it and play it on any of these. But if you want to be able to play the game in Stereoscopic 3D mode you need to get either PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions of the game, because only they come with anaglyph glasses and the needed mode to play with it. If you own a PC and buy the game to play it with Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision you will be disappointed so please do not buy it just for that – save your money and the trouble. And there is on anaglyph mode available for the PC version so even if you wanted to try it out with anaglyph glasses you are screwed so just don't bother with G-Force anymore and get your fingers crossed for the release of Resident Evil 5 for PC and that it will really rock in S3D as we all hope and as Nvidia and Capcom says.
And if you are still not really ready to give up completely on Disney (hey you are not a small kid anymore, right?) you might get some hopes from the fact that in the fall they should release another Stereo 3D-ready game title. This time it will be exclusive for Nintendo Wii console owners and the game is called Toy Story Mania!, and you probably guessed it will be based on the movie with the same title from 1995, but the game is expected to also feature anaglyph stereo 3D experience.
– To get the game G-Force with anaglyph red-cyan 3D glasses bundled…

Written by: Michael Spring, Chair, South Florida Cultural Consortium and Director, Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs
Across South Florida, it is indisputable that the arts are transforming our region into one of the most dynamic and diverse new cultural centers in the hemisphere. Festivals and special arts events are attracting visitors to our communities; our downtowns are being re-energized with major performing arts centers and museums; and forgotten neighborhoods are being revitalized by pioneering artists and intrepid, grassroots arts groups. The arts matter throughout South Florida because they are earning us an international reputation as a major, new cultural center. Consequently, our cities now have a creative, competitive edge in attracting businesses and tourism and improving the lives of our families and kids.
The phenomenal growth of the arts in South Florida over the past twenty-five years is unparalleled anywhere in the nation. Non-profit arts groups and artists in our region are a work force of more than 45,000 employees and have an impact on the economy documented in the billions of dollars. Each of the counties across our region has invested significant public and private resources in the arts. A lesser known fact is that we have had a regional strategy for cultural development.
Twenty-five years ago, we created the South Florida Cultural Consortium, an alliance of the local arts agencies of Broward, Martin, Monroe, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. The Consortium's mission is to develop cultural excellence and accessibility through collaboration among our counties.
Together, our arts agencies share strategies from the great cultural work in each of our communities. For example, our Consortium supports the Theater League of South Florida and its annual Carbonell awards. These awards give visibility to the outstanding theater being presented in South Florida and encourage audiences to transcend county lines and attend great productions anywhere within a reasonable commute.
In addition, the Consortium pools resources to initiate joint projects and take advantage of the economies of collaboration. Together, we manage the South Florida Visual and Media Artists Fellowship program, awarding the best artists from throughout the region significant fellowship awards based solely on the excellence of their work. These artists are featured in an exhibition at a major museum in a different county each year. Our current, superb fellowship exhibition is on view through October 16th at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood.
Among the most exciting collaborations for the Consortium is our regional commitment to expanding the impact of arts education. National studies demonstrate that kids who participate in the arts score higher on standardized tests and are more likely to graduate from high school. We are developing a regional artists' certification program that will train more painters, writers, musicians, dancers and other artists to work with teachers on innovative learning strategies.
One of our newest and most far-reaching endeavors is the Consortium's participation as a key member of the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership, resulting in the award of a major $4.25 million U.S. HUD Sustainable Communities planning grant. Deputy HUD Secretary Ron Sims and National Endowment for the Arts Chair Rocco Landesman came to South Florida this January to celebrate our grant and the central role of the arts in "A New Era of Innovative Partnerships for Regional Economic Development." The Southeast Florida Regional Partnership, HUD, the NEA and the Consortium – including our newest partners in Indian River and St. Lucie counties - all realize how the arts can help create more livable and sustainable communities throughout our region.
Affordable housing made great through the collaboration of architects and public artists; historic buildings and neglected neighborhoods renewed by theater and dance companies; and more students graduating with creative problem-solving skills, ready for the competitive 21st century workforce. Envision a South Florida where artists, cultural organizations and the public and private sectors come together with the full power of our creativity, resourcefulness and determination to make our communities great places to live, work and raise our families. The arts matter, more than ever, throughout South Florida!

With Ash Wednesday falling on Valentine's Day and Easter on April Fool's Day this year, Lent is set to have added contrast from secular celebrations.
The 40-day period when liturgical Christians fast from worldly desires and renew devotions to their faith starts Wednesday with a message of everlasting and true love at Elim Lutheran Church.
"There is no better love than God's love and Jesus' love," said the Rev. Bruce Kolasch. "It heals. It brings peace, all kinds of things helping us to be better people."
Elim Lutheran Church is only one of many congregations locally holding Ash Wednesday services, which include the placement of ashes on the foreheads of participants.
Observing Ash Wednesday will be local Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian and likely some other congregations.
Those who choose to forgo some of their Valentine's Day celebrations to dedicate themselves more fully to God won't be sorry for doing so, Kolasch said.
"Sometimes we take repentance really lightly," Kolasch said. "Ash Wednesday reminds us of the seriousness of sin, our mortality and what God and Jesus have done for us."
The significance of the ashes used in Christian Ash Wednesday services dates back to the Old Testament times, Kolasch said. "People of Israel would take dust and ashes, and they threw them on their hair. They would tear their clothes as a way of saying 'God, I am sorry for my sins.'"
Rev. Steve Aeschbacher of First Presbyterian Church of Ogden said Valentine's Day gives Ash Wednesday an added message of love.
"Valentine's Day is the celebration of love and Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of a time of reflection of the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen," Aeschbacher said, referring to teachings of Christ dying on the cross to pay for the sins of mankind.
"So much of life encourages us to turn in and be selfish," Aeschbacher said. "Love is facing out. That is the great thing about Valentine's Day and the example of Jesus."
The calendar message of Valentine's Day and April Fool's Day on noteworthy Christian observances couldn't be more appropriate and timely, said Rev. Kim James, pastor at First United Methodist Church.
"Right now in our society, there's all these 'me too' outings where people are being accused," James said. "I think there is some repentance that needs to take place. We need to be loving in an appropriate way and treat other people like they are human beings. Of course, Christians should be the first to do that."
As women are speaking out and being heard, sometimes for the first time, James said she sees a resurrection taking place in the world.
"People who believed them might have thought they were foolish that they were speaking out about something that would have made no difference," James said of past attitudes about sexual harassment.
Those looking for a place to worship at on Ash Wednesday may want to check out these local churches offering services at the following times Wednesday:

This was an amazing service, thank you! I tried another service prior to this one and paid more money, but only had a few possibilities. With this service I had dozens of matches and dozens more responding so how could I really miss? the hard part was saying no to a couple good people. It couldn't have been easier... Thanks again! - Mary
Hello, I have successfully found a roommate through your service and want to thank you. Prior to signing up I put an ad in the local paper which covers 15 communities for two weeks and never even got a single response. Within 2-3 weeks with you I wrote to several people I thought may be a good match - I also received interested responses to my ad as well. It just worked. I wouldn't hesitate to refer someone to your service. A satisfied customer. Best Regards, - Chris

TDC: Tell us about Romeo and how he came into your life.
Golon: We adopted Romeo from The Forgotten: Persian Rescue & Friends in Marysville, Ohio, when he was 2. Romeo was turned in to a shelter in Kentucky when he was 1. He was adopted, but then brought back for some reason. The shelter in Kentucky knew about The Forgotten and called to see if they wanted him. Of course they did! Romeo was deaf in both ears and had a strange skin condition.
The vets who work with The Forgotten volunteered their time to tend to Romeo's ailments. He had eight surgeries on his ears -- now he can hear just fine. Romeo spent about six months at the rescue before we saw him on the rescue website. We loved him right away.
TDC: How did you get started blogging for Romeo?
Golon: When I started fundraising on Twitter in February 2008, I realized I needed a home-base so people could learn more about Romeo and the rescues we were helping, so I started his blog.
TDC: When did you and Romeo first decide to use his popularity on the Web for charity?
Golon: I decided to put Romeo on Twitter in February 2008. A co-worker said if Romeo got more followers than he had, he'd be really mad. Well, I took that as a challenge. I decided to offer a 5-cent donation to rescues for every new follower I got. Pretty soon, Romeo had thousands of followers. At that time, fundraising on Twitter was new -- and someone offering a donation for every follower was a great reason for people to tell others about him.
Word spread about his program, and I had people and companies offering to match my donations. After a month or so, I decided that I would choose a new rescue each month -- from submissions made by my readers -- to benefit from the fundraising. I eventually stopped donating 5 cents per follower and concentrated on finding corporate sponsors as well as other forms of raising money. The program is called FURPOWER. To date, I've almost raised $50,000, which was my goal. Now I need to choose some new ones!
TDC: What do you have planned for the future?
Golon: In 2011, I'll still be focusing on helping rescues, but I will be helping a new rescue each quarter instead of each month so I can get to know the organization better. I have also launched a new blog, TheHappyLitterBox.com. The focus of this blog is all things litter-box -- solutions to problems, product reviews, expert articles and anecdotes from real people. Romeo is what I like to call "litter box challenged." This is a common reason that cats are abandoned or turned in to shelters. If I can help keep one cat out of a shelter, then I'll feel like it's a success.

FORMER WCCS MEMBER: Eager to return for a second go-around
COLUMBIA CITY — After taking a break to plan his retirement, newly elected Whitley County Consolidated School board member Bill Tucker said he is ready for a second go-around."I'm humbled by the support the community has given me, and I'm anxious to get back on the board," said Tucker.BackgroundTucker first served as a WCCS Jefferson Township board member seven years ago, when he was approached by board members and asked to consider the job."I was interested in the community without having a background in education. I believe very strongly that education is an economic issue, as well as a personal learning issue. A strong school system would lead to a stronger economic community," said Tucker. "I accepted that opportunity and served about three and a half years. Then I chose not to run for school board since I was at the crossroads of planning my retirement."Tucker retired from a 40-year career working in the banking and trust industry."I hope I can bring that expertise to the board," said Tucker.This fall, Tucker said he was approached again by some members of the community and asked if he would consider running."I thought now that I have things lined up, I'd be willing to give back to the community," said Tucker.ChallengesTucker took his post as a school board member hoping his experience would be an asset, not a stumbling block."I pledge to myself and to the community that I will not make decisions based on how it was when I went to school," said Tucker. "That's no longer relevant. Things have changed so I hope I can always be open-minded."In the area of facilities, food service and transportation management there will always be challenges. Tucker said those challenges are added to the ever-evolving educational piece. With a newly elected state superintendent of public instruction, Tucker said he is interested to see how that will affect the school systems."Much of our duties and challenges are handed to us by the state," said Tucker. "We're not in total control of the educational process. It's a delicate balance between what the state mandates to us and how can we accomplish that and still have personal touches to it."For a more in depth look at this story, see the Nov. 20 issue of The Post and Mail.

Revision as of 19:36, 5 February 2012
In this wiki we collect several results about nonlocal elliptic and parabolic equations.
If you want to know what a nonlocal equation refers to, a good starting point would be the Intro to nonlocal equations.
The wiki has an assumed bias towards regularity results and consequently to equations for which some regularization occurs. But we also include some topics which are tangentially related, or even completely unrelated, to regularity.
We keep a list of open problems and also upcoming events.
Why nonlocal equations are important
All partial differential equations are a limit case of nonlocal equations. A good understanding of nonlocal equations can ultimately provide a better understanding of their limit case: the PDEs. However, there are some cases in which a nonlocal equation gives a significantly better model than a PDE. Some of the most clear examples in which it is necessary to resort to nonlocal equations are
- Optimal control problems with Levy processes give rise to the Bellman equation, or in general any equation derived from jump processes will be some fully nonlinear integro-differential equation.
- In financial mathematics it is particularly important to study models involving jump processes. This can be considered a particular case of the item above (stochastic control), but it is a very relevant one. The pricing model for American options involves the obstacle problem.
- Nonlocal electrostatics is a very promising tool for drug design which could potentially have a strong impact in medicine in the future.
- The denoising algorithms in nonlocal image processing are able to detect patterns in a better way than the PDE based models. A simple model for denoising is the nonlocal mean curvature flow.
- The Boltzmann equation models the evolution of dilute gases and it is intrinsically an integral equation. In fact, simplified kinetic models can be used to derive the fractional heat equation without resorting to stochastic processes.
- In conformal geometry, nonlocal curvatures provide a very rich family of conformally invariant quantities.
- In oceanography, the temperature on the surface may diffuse though the atmosphere giving rise to the surface quasi-geostrophic equation.
- Several stochastic models, in particular particle systems, can be used to derive nonlocal equations like the Nonlocal porous medium equation, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with fractional diffusion, conservation laws with fractional diffusion, etc...
Existence and uniqueness results
For a variety of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations, the existence of viscosity solutions can be obtained using Perron's method. The uniqueness of solutions is a consequence of the comparison principle.
There are some equations for which this general framework does not work, for example the surface quasi-geostrophic equation. One could say that the underlying reason is that the equation is not purely parabolic, but it has one hyperbolic term.
Regularity results
The regularity tools used for nonlocal equations vary depending on the type of equation.
Nonlinear equations
The starting point to study the regularity of solutions to a nonlinear elliptic or parabolic equation are the Holder estimates which hold under very weak assumptions and rough coefficients. They are related to the Harnack inequality.
For some fully nonlinear integro-differential equation with continuous coefficients, we can prove $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates.
Under certain hypothesis, the nonlocal Bellman equation from optimal stochastic control has classical solutions due to the nonlocal version of Evans-Krylov theorem.
Semilinear equations
There are several interesting models that are semilinear equations. Those equations consists of either the fractional Laplacian or fractional heat equation plus a nonlinear term.
There are challenging regularity questions especially when the Laplacian interacts with gradient terms in Drift-diffusion equations. A simple method that has been successful in proving the well posedness of some semilinear equations with drift terms in the critical case (when both terms have the same scaling properties) is the conserved modulus of continuity approach, often called "nonlocal maximum principle method".

Increase in CEA After Colon Surgery
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My husband had a colostomy almost 3 years ago. Right after surgery his CEA level was .8 or .9. His most recent CEA is ll. He has been on LIPITOR and MODUCARE. Could either of these drugs cause a high CEA level? Does an elevated reading necessarily indicate cancer growth?
We have radiologic tests scheduled, but wanted to know if there are other things that could change CEA?
Dr. Timothy Hoops, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
The value of determining CEA levels for follow-up after resection of a colon cancer has been controversial. Many have advocated it, while others have felt that it adds little to patient care. The idea is that an elevation would detect an earlier cancer recurrence allowing therapy to be initiated resulting in a better outcome. Data is available to support both positions.
A CEA of 11, while elevated, falls into that intermediate range that is difficult to interpret. It has risen since the last one, and evaluating the situation with radiologic tests to look for recurrent cancer is wise. If these don't indicate any tumor, you may be able to follow the CEA level closely to see if it continues to rise. I am unaware if either of the medications you mentioned can cause an elevation in CEA levels. The companies that make those drugs may be able to answer this question better than I. As you may know, certain behaviors such as smoking can raise CEA levels unrelated to any cancer.
