Editor's note: A story Sunday about hurricane recovery efforts in Pamlico County incorrectly described the town of Oriental. There are no golf courses within the town.
PAMLICO COUNTY -- Three-year-old Molly Popperwill curls up in a torn recliner just after dark, her makeshift bed in a trailer loaned by the federal government after Hurricane Irene decimated her family's home last August.
It's as much comfort as she's had in five months, and even this respite in early February is fleeting.
By April 1, the Popperwill family - parents Jennifer and Todd and their four daughters under age 7 - must give up their FEMA trailer and move into an even smaller camper they bought as a backup should they run out of options. Irene pushed four feet of water inside their home in Lowland, a fishing village on Goose Creek Island along the Pamlico River. The force of the rushing water also knocked it off its foundation. Last month, they knocked the house down and hauled the molded bits to the dump.
"This piece of dirt is ours," said Jennifer Popperwill, 30. "It's all we really have in this world."
On Aug. 27, Irene stalled just beyond the Outer Banks, pushing the rivers farther and faster into the Inner Bank counties than any hurricane in memory. Hundred-year-old homes in Pamlico and nearby areas saw water for the first time, and those rising waters still haunt the hardiest of seamen, who remember swimming to safety that day.
In the five months since Irene, recovery has eluded many in Pamlico. Many of the 13,000 residents have struggled to rebuild the simple, quiet lives they enjoyed in these fishing villages and crossroads communities. What little progress has been made comes at the hands of volunteers who spend days or weeks in the county with church groups.
The storm left as many as 400 Pamlico County families homeless. The lucky have bunked with family or neighbors; the less fortunate have spent the winter in drafty homes in dire need of repair.
For the 100 or so families that qualified to stay in a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer, time is running out. The federal government says it must remove the trailers from flood plains well ahead of hurricane season. Alternative housing is scarce.
The challenges have hit nearly everyone: the insured and uninsured, the prepared as well as those caught flat-footed. Many in the area had defaulted on costly flood insurance payments over the years as a faltering economy brought tough choices. Those families that had gotten FEMA help during a prior storm and let their insurance lapse can't qualify for FEMA aid this time.
And even those with flood insurance have battled stringent mortgage company rules that have tied up their settlements. Some who have secured insurance settlements wait on long lists for contractors to get to their home.
"It's every problem imaginable," said Dawn Baldwin Gibson, head of Pamlico County's disaster-recovery coalition. "Every safety net has seemed to fail some of our residents."
Home of memories
Pamlico County juts into the Pamlico Sound, splitting two major rivers. The county is rural and flat with long stretches of highway dotted with nothing more than fields and creeks. Most of the 5,000 households have anchored their livelihoods to the natural bounty of the rivers or the fertile soil.
Even before Irene, life was bleak in Pamlico County. The waters had been overfished, and many fishermen were grumbling that state regulations aimed to protect the wildlife had made it tough to make a living. Tugboat crews in the area say work slowed in recent years. Tobacco crops, once prevalent here, were scaled back after the federal settlement with farmers.
Except for the well-to-do who erected luxury homes near golf courses in the port town of Oriental, those who live in Pamlico are here because of roots. Their mothers, fathers and grandparents settled into the county decades before, and they never saw a good reason to leave. They live in modest houses with no water views and little more than their homes to show for a lifetime of hard work.
Mary Paul, 83, came to the community of Pamlico near Oriental as a young bride in 1949. Her late husband fished, and a dynasty of past storms - Hazel, Fran, Floyd and Isabel - hasn't pushed her away.
One morning this month, she coughed faintly as she leaned into her couch. After the storm, volunteers stripped the walls in her house to let the wood dry and ward against mold. The holes have lingered for months, and while Paul talks, a cat crawls through a gap in the floor behind her couch. A slight breeze rushes through her living room.
Paul didn't keep the books in her family, and it wasn't until Irene that she realized her husband had stopped paying for flood insurance before his recent death. Because the Pauls had sought aid in a prior storm, she was ineligible for FEMA help.
Many of her neighbors in Pamlico have asked county officials to buy their property so they can afford to relocate to higher ground; more than 100 households in the county have applied for a buyout grant.
Paul won't budge. She won't complain, either. She knows the risk of living so close to the water and the unpredictability of nature's fury. She says she will wait and hope for another round of Samaritans to knock on her door and patch her walls and floor back together.
"I know it's not much, but it's mine and where all my memories are," Paul said.
No help from FEMA
Geneva Gibbs also waits for the kindness of strangers.
Earlier this month, she leaned against a walker and waited on social workers to call her to fill out another pile of paperwork.
This is her last hope to save the home in which she raised her children and two grandchildren.
A national organization, Eight Days of Hope, has picked Pamlico County as its spring project. It will bring as many as 2,000 skilled laborers and millions in donated supplies to the area in May for eight days.
Gibbs, 83, is one of many FEMA declared "noncompliant" after the storm. Gibbs took help during a prior storm to fix her electrical box and says she didn't understand the fine print that said she must keep up her flood insurance.
Like many elderly in Pamlico, Gibbs didn't finish high school and lived off the land. She and her children ate vegetables she grew and hogs and chickens she raised. Her parents built the house in Alliance where she lived until the storm. She had planned on living there until she couldn't care for herself.
Since the storm, she has lived with her daughter, Jean. Each day, she rocks in a recliner, staring blankly at the dramas on the TV. Quietly, at night, she weeps in her room and wishes she were home.
Gibbs' is one of nearly 300 households who've asked for help from volunteers coming in May. The group can tackle about 200 homes.
Payments washed away
Jennifer and Todd Popperwill grew up in Lowland, and say they are related to most people in this tiny village by blood or marriage.
The couple believed there were few places safer and quieter than Goose Creek Island to raise a family.
Years ago, a neighbor offered a rent-to-own opportunity on a modest home on Lowland's main road. It was an informal kind of arrangement while the owners of the home worked through a tax issue on the property. Todd Popperwill is a commercial fisherman, and though the industry has been tough in recent years, the couple managed to make the last payment of their $27,000 price tag in March. Todd and Jennifer waited patiently for the owners to settle the tax issue and sign the deed over.
Then Irene hit. The house wasn't legally theirs. The owners had no insurance.
The Popperwills have now moved the home into their name and have secured about $28,000 in FEMA aid to cover flooded vehicles and ruined items, and to tackle whatever repairs they could on their home. They spent nearly all of it to demolish a house they knew couldn't be saved and to buy a camper that will be their home when they run out of options.
On an unusually warm afternoon in February, Jennifer and Todd watched their three youngest daughters dart across the dirt where their home once sat. Oyster season has been closed in Pamlico County, and Todd couldn't harvest enough oysters in Dare County the day before to justify the expense of gas.
The girls sang and danced for their parents. Jennifer tried to exhaust them with play outside before the family piled into the tiny FEMA trailer for another night. One tight bedroom has been filled with items they salvaged from their home. Donated clothes have been stacked along the top of the couch in the living room that also serves as a kitchen and sleeping space for the 3-year-old twins Molly and Maggie and 7-year-old Viviana. Jennifer and Todd have slept each night in a double bed in the other room, with 2-year-old Sidney snug between them.
Todd paced across the lot outside, eyeing stately pines at the back of the property that he wishes he could cut and use as wood for a new home.
He said he feels powerless to pull his family out of this mess. It's been a hard fall from the sense of accomplishment he felt when he made the last of his payments on the house last spring.
Since the storm, he has worried that social workers may come and take the girls, declaring that they aren't living in good enough conditions. For weeks after the storm, the girls had nightmares of sharks and snakes and rising waters.
And, he has fretted about how much this trauma has robbed them of their childhood.
"I'm not sure any of us will ever be the same," he said.

Apple and Google provide free, but limited, developer tools that provide code editing, refactoring, building, debugging, and even test automation.
Challenges in Enterprise Support, Growing List of Available Devices
Unfortunately, most standard developer tools lack enterprise-grade team support for collaboration, continuous integration, and continuous test.
Worse, the number of devices a developer needs to check out code on a representative sample of form factors and operating system release levels has become very large, very difficult, and very expensive to manage.
Developer tools do offer simulators, but most teams recognized long ago that the simulators cannot substitute for testing on real devices.
Use the Device Needed Via Private Remote Device Cloud
deviceConnect and deviceBridge™ can instantly solve team problems by enabling Xcode, Android Studio, and most other tools that use mobile USB connections to control devices located in a remote device cloud.
A developer can select from one of dozens or even hundreds of devices in a deviceConnect cloud and, with our remote web-based viewer, can view and control the device as if it were plugged in to the workstation, a significant help to geographically dispersed teams.
Flexibility to Use Xcode and Android Studio from Anywhere
Both Xcode and Android Studio treat a deviceConnect cloud-based device as if it were locally attached. Devices that are locally attached can still be used as well, giving the developer ultimate flexibility.
A team of developers, each with the same requirements, can easily share the same devices whether they are in the same office, on different floors, or on different continents.

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Greetings to all our prospective guests! My wife, Valerie and I are pictured here in Mykonos, where we celebrated our 30th anniversary (2009). We have 4 adult children and reside in Marlboro, NJ.
Woodstock is magical. There is something in the air - an extraordinarily positive karma, a pervasive sense of peace, harmony, balance...a true restorative respite from the hustle and bustle of 21st century life!
There are so many lovely and unique homes in Woodstock, as well as inns, lodges, B&B's, etc. What we feel sets our home apart is that it offers a truly unique 'getaway-from-it all' experience, unlike any other to be found in the area; a style/decor that is a distinct departure from what we see day-in, day-out in our everyday lives, or even in our travels. When you arrive at our home, the vision seems precisely as you would expect to find in a rustic mountain lodge log home. It is a celebration of glorious creatures that inhabit it, the natural (sustainable) products it provides, and last but not least the extraordinary artists and craftspeople who thankfully continue to this day to maintain the time-honored traditions of creating hand-crafted, rustic furniture and furnishings out of nature's materials/materials gathered from nature, e.g., branches, twigs, bark, stone, etc., left in their most natural/least adulterated state - in the style of the Adirondack 'Camps.' Throughout the house, you will find many examples of their work, e.g., beds made from logs, tables made from branches, twigs, bark, chairs/stools made from hickory limbs, twig & bark framed mirrors, etc., as well as numerous touches of whimsy, e.g., genuine antler door knobs, pulls and handles, antler chandeliers/light fixtures, and all sorts of items celebrating the animals of the American wild, e.g., lighting fixtures with images of moose, elk, deer, bear, wolves, elk antler rack above the fireplace, animal-themed coat hooks, dinnerware, etc. In short, we've strived to recreate a type of rustic, cozy mountain lodge of our dreams. Perhaps you too have dreamed of how nice it would be to have a little log cabin getaway place somewhere? If so, we would love to have you make our not so 'little' home your Home Away From Home! [All antlers, antler products, etc., used in our home were naturally looks like leather and/or animal skins/fur is faux - no animals were harmed!]
Our group of 8 had an amazing time. The cabin itself is very large and luxurious, and we felt like we were staying at a Ralph Lauren mansion. Truly unforgettable!
Great house great location. Awesome fireplace. Had two families with kids. Bed setup was perfect. Kitchen was great.
We had a great time with our family of 4 for the Christmas holidays. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked. The woodburning fireplace was a nice touch, and there was a nice Sonos sound system. Overall it was just what we were looking for.
BeUtiful place specious and very cosi
Valerie and Rick were great hosts.
They were very responsive and made the process as smooth as possible. Keyless entry made the check-in process a breeze. They also gave great recommendations for restaurants and markets close to the house.
The house was beautiful and more than enough room for our party of 10. The bathrooms and bedrooms were beautifully done, and there was plenty of open space for groups of our size to congregate.
The house was easy to get to from NYC and is within a short drive of Hunter Mountain.
I would definitely recommend this cabin to others and would look to stay here again when we come back to the Catskills!
Nice and cozy atmosphere .

Seward RECOMMENDATIONS See all
3 Days in Seward: Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, June 2015
Day 1: Tour Kenai Fjord National Park
If you can only do one thing when you're in Seward, make it exploring Kenai Fjord National Park. Encompassing 1,047 square miles (2,711 square kilometers), the park is littered with glacial-carved fjords. Within the park, make sure to visit Harding Icefield, an enormous ice field with 40 glaciers flowing into it. Take an aerial tour over the park for a unique vantage point, kayak through the fjords and explore the trails around Exit Glacier.
If you're interested in fishing, salmon and Dolly Varden are prevalent in the backcountry of the park. And don't forget to spend some time trying to spot wildlife like black bears, bald eagles, mountain goats, Dall's porpoises, Stellar sea lions, humpback and orca whales and much more.
Day 2: A scenic drive
Seward gives you access to one of Alaska's most scenic drives: The Seward Highway. This National Scenic Byway runs 125 miles (201 kilometers) from Seward to Anchorage, passing through some of the state's most scenic areas, like the Kenai Peninsula, Chugach National Forest, Turnagain Arm and Kenai Mountains. Although you never leave Alaska, you'll feel like you're crossing borders as the landscape switches between alpine meadows, retreating glaciers, majestic fjords, mirror lakes and rugged peaks.
While you could complete the drive in a few hours, it's best to spend a few days and take your time as there are a number of attractions and experiences along the way, some of which include learning about Alaska's railroad history at the Potter Section House Railroad Museum; seeing wildlife like moose, caribou, Siberian board and bison at the Alaska Wildlife Conversation Center; exploring an old gold mining town at Hope Junction and trekking the beautiful Devil's Creek Trail.
Day 3: Exploring native culture
Along with exploring the outdoors, Seward allows you to get to know native culture in Alaska. Take a day trip to the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage, where you can learn about the culture and heritage of 11 different Native cultural groups. The attraction offers a range of educational experiences, like traditional dancing, storytelling, watching artisans at work, dog sledding, gallery and exhibit viewing, and perusing traditional handicrafts on consignment from Native artisans in the gift shop.
Outside, life-sized re-creations of native dwellings bring history to life. In Seward you can also visit the Chugach Heritage Center, where you can learn about the heritage of the Chugach people and view Native artworks. The Seward Community Library Museum is also worth a stop, as it houses photographs, artifacts and historical documents pertaining to Seward's history, as well as Native baskets and ivory carvings.

Jeremy Piven, Now As a 1900s Store Owner
As Mr. Selfridge, the founder of Selfridges.
Here's the first trailer for Jeremy Piven's upcoming British series Mr. Selfridge, about Harry Gordon Selfridge, the American who founded the fancy schmancy U.K. department store Selfridges in 1909. Our immediate take: One, Piven's mustache is distractingly fuller than his beard. Two, "Sing, Sing, Sing" came out in 1936. And three, hey, old-fashioned shopping! It's so glamorous!

HOUSTON — On Thursday, Audi cut the ribbon on its largest store in the nation, Audi Central Houston. The new flagship store boasts a more than 142,000-square-foot facility, which houses a 10-car showroom.
"Houston, along with the entire state of Texas, remains a high priority region in the Audi U.S. growth strategy. The opening of Audi Central Houston indicates considerable progress toward our goal of becoming the country's top luxury automaker," said Mark Del Rosso, executive vice president and COO of Audi of America. "This new dealership exemplifies the growing investment of our dealer body and will lead by example by providing benchmark levels of customer and ownership experience."
Located just off the Southwest Freeway, the new dealership cost approximately $25 million to build. It features ample space over seven floors and enough indoor parking to store more than 300 vehicles. The dealership also has 30 service bays, nine inspection bays, two alignment bays and an automated car wash.
Customers will also be able to relax in an upgraded Quattro Café that now includes pastries, fresh fruit and bagels every morning, as well as a gourmet line of coffee and espresso.
On staff will be 29 technicians, including one from the Audi Vets to Tech program. Ultimately, technicians will be able to exchange texts with a customer when their vehicle service is completed so their car is ready to go when they arrive at the dealership.
The newly opened dealership is operated by Sonic Automotive Inc. of Charlotte, N.C., one of the nation's largest automotive retailers. The company operates in 15 states with 107 dealerships representing 29 different brands of automobiles.

A masterful tale of ''buccaneers and buried gold''. First published in the children's magazine Young Folks, and considered a coming of age story, it is an adventure tale of superb atmosphere, character, and action, as well as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of moralityas seen in Long John Silverunusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels, and its influence on popular lore about pirates can not be overestimated.
person who stayed in our house whom we called the captain.
"Well," said he, "my mate Bill would be called the captain, as like as not. He has a cut on one cheek and a mighty pleasant way with him, particularly in drink, has my mate Bill. We'll put it, for argument like, that your captain has a cut on one cheek--and we'll put it, if you like, that that cheek's the right one. Ah, well! I told you. Now, is my mate Bill in this here house?"
I told him he was out walking.
"Which way, sonny? Which way is he gone?"
And when I had pointed out the rock and told him how the captain was likely to return, and how soon, and answered a few other questions, "Ah," said he, "this'll be as good as drink to my mate Bill."
The expression of his face as he said these words was not at all pleasant, and I had my own reasons for thinking that the stranger was mistaken, even supposing he meant what he said. But it was no affair of mine, I thought; and besides, it was difficult to know what to do. Th
It really is a rollicking adventure, as youd assume; and one that scarcely wastes a single page on the non-rollicking.
Its full of great characters. Long John Silver is far more wonderfully murderous lunatic than you might expect to occur within the pages a 19th century (or any other centurys) childrens adventure novel; and although, early on, the character of Jim Hawkins verges on wet blankety even he is redeemed by ill thought out but blindly successful attempts at heroics.
It is very amusing in places, as well. Benn Gunns (that 'lurking nondescript') first encounter with Hawkins is a particular stand out in that respect.
None of the movies do this classic any justice. Even Kenner Classic Tales from the 70s made poor on this tale. Read the book. Don't even waste any time on the movies.
No doubt its a worlds classic.
When not so long ago I reread the novel I have found out some new details which had slipped off my attention when I was a child. Here are a pair of goofs, or rather may be author's mistakes, which I have noticed in the story:
1. Billy Boness money had been exhausted but he keeps on staying on credit in the "Admiral Benbow" inn. However, after he had had a stroke he offers Jim a golden guinea for rum., and after his death Jim finds out at Billy Boness sea chest a heap of money.
2. Why Ben Gann has not buried Allardyce, and let his remains lie in that position in which it was put by Flint? Besides, during his three yeas maroon on the island Ben often, I think, had to go by that place where the dead and decaying body was laying, but mysteriously enough it did not occur to him to give the remains of his ship companion to the earth.
I agree with everyone who calls this novel a timeless treasure. If you haven't read this classic adventure, you really should; if you have, you'll enjoy reading it again.
Highly recommended. One of those timeless books that must be read to appreciate true literary works of art.
Reading this ebook was pure Entertainment! It was my start into the world of ebooks at Manybooks.net.
This describes it so well:
"Good literature is when it makes you think, and feel. It opens your eyes to something new, or brings vivid images of another time and place to mind. Mostly, however, I'd say good literature is something that endures through time, which is why it is so difficult to classify modern novels as good literature. When something was written a hundred years ago, and is still read and enjoyed, that is good literature. The book of the moment at the top of the charts that everyone raves about may not..."
(by nelliers at Yahoo! Answers)
I read this book more than 25 years back as a school student. Now re-reading it as a ebook was again a refreshing experience. For me , it will remain a classic for ever
Stevenson's best known story. It's the classic tale of Piracy, which for some reason, has been interpreted as a child's story. I loved the book as a child, but even more as an adult.
Stevenson gives a glorified view of the age of Buccaneers, but his strength is in the development of characters like Long John Silver. This is an exciting tale of of an exciting historical period. Stevenson brings it all alive, and transports the reader into an age full of danger and excitement. Don't miss reading this book. It's an all time great read!!!
Well, First of all I'd like to express my great pleasure to read this book it's really amazing taking you deep into the lands beyond seas and the writers skillfull pen which enabled him of creating complex and composite characters such as Silver. You'd suffer what they suffer and love what they love and you'll find the real treasure when you reach the end of the book.

Before I present this week's National League power rankings please remember tomorrow is Jackie Robinson Day. 65 years ago on April 15, 1947 Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Make sure you tag your tweets with the hashtag #Jackie42.
- Atlanta Braves
The Braves are the best team in the entire league. They are 11-1 and currently on a nine game winning streak. The amount of runs they score makes the 11 games even more significant. They beat the Cubs 5-1, Marlins 8-0, Nationals 6-4 and 9-0. Justin Upton has 16 hits in 12 games and seven home runs and 11 RBIs. Their starters are solid and only two have an ERA over 2.00. The team is also very fun to watch.
2. San Francisco Giants
Barry Zito. THIS is the old Barry Zito and he is proving last year was not a fluke. He is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA. Yes, 0.00 ERA. It is not just his pitching, though. He has also turned into a slugger at the plate. He has four at bats with three hits, four runs, and one RBI. He is batting .750. The team's defense is stellar and their bats are on fire. Pablo Sandoval leads the way with 10 RBIs and 14 hits.
3. Washington Nationals
The starting rotation has to get their act together. Over and over the Nationals will get a lead, but never keep it. They cannot rely solely on Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth to carry the team while the bullpen struggles. They were easily destroyed by Atlanta this weekend, but they could have won a few of the games. They have to work on getting and keeping the leads. Harper and Werth are fun to watch, but the late innings are very frustrating
4. St. Louis Cardinals
Throughout the season, the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis will be exchanging spots atop of the NL Central. They beat the Giants in San Francisco and easily beat the Reds and Milwaukee Brewers. The only starter that is dicey is Lance Lynn, even though he bounced back against the Reds. But he still might be their weak link. Give him a few more starts and we should have a better feel for him. The team does not have many home runs, but they get on base, allowing for the high run count.
5. Arizona Diamondbacks
They are the sleeping gem in the NL West. They took two out of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend and almost came back against them on Saturday. They erased a 7-1 deficit only to lose 7-5. The starting rotation is nothing to get excited about, but the bats are amazing. Martin Prado has 15 hits in 12 games. Gerardo Parra has 16 hits in 12 games and five of them are doubles. Only a few batters are barely batting below .300. The Giants need to stay alert because the Diamondbacks can steal the show.
Teams To Watch
Pittsburgh Pirates – Yes, the Pirates. The NL Central is very weak and they just swept the favorite Reds with very convincing wins.
Los Angeles Dodgers – Zach Greinke is out 6-8 weeks with a broken collarbone, which puts a major damper on their starting rotation.
New York Mets – They are in second place, but they have beaten mediocre teams. The Colorado Rockies and Nationals will be a decent test for them this week
Series To Watch
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (the rivalry is upped because of last week's brawl)
Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Washington Nationals vs. New York Mets
Agree? Disagree? Let me know on Twitter!

As Lorain native Monica "Mo" Olejko approaches a new production for Lorain Community Music Theater, she seeks silence and immerses herself in the story.
"The first thing I do is get a copy of the script and read it without listening to the music," said Olejko, who shoulders responsibilities of both director and choreographer. "Then I listen to the music.
"I close my eyes and I watch the dancing and I write down what I see. Then once I get that idea down, I start working on the show. When you do directing and choreography, that's a lot on your plate. You don't have the luxury of waiting on divine inspiration.
"There have been times when I sat for eight hours straight just working on it. It's what you need to do. And you hope you're blessed with a cast that can take what you see in your head and put it on the stage so those people out in the seats can see it, too."
This marks the 40th anniversary of Lorain Community Music Theater, which produced its first show, "My Fair lady," in July 1977 at Lorain High School.
The 2017 production of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" returns to the new Lorain High School, 2600 Ashland Ave. in Lorain, with performances July 14-16 and 21-23. Tickets are available at www.loraincommunitymucistheater.org/buy-tickets.
The musical is co-produced by Lynn Maslinski and Marlene Karpinski, who say 47 cast members include nine children and 38 teens and adults.
The Community Music Theater organized to help underprivileged youth find meaningful pastimes, but evolved beyond it.
"We're not a children's theater per se'," Karpinski said. "We have professionals who donate their time to bring these to the community."
Still, the youth involved receive quality instruction in theater, voice and dance, Maslinski said, and they rehearse five nights a week for up to eight weeks.
Professionalism matters, says Olejko, as do family relationships.
"My dad used to say, 'You don't do it 'til you get it right,'" she said. "'You do it 'til you can't get it wrong.' You rehearse it and rehearse it."
Olejko's father, Alex "Kiki" Olejko, served as mayor of Lorain from 1984-1995.
The oldest of seven children, she graduated in the first class from Lorain Catholic High School in 1970 and moved to Berea in 1975.
Olejko said she hopes each person in the audience enjoys a beautiful story about life and relationships, from small children and teens who grew up with Ariel, to great grandparents who grew up with the original Hans Christian Andersen story.
"I want them to embrace it," she said. "It's not really a play. It's an event.
"I hope everyone walks out of here with a smile on their face, because in this day and age, you need something to make you happy, and that's our job. Sometimes you sit in that seat and say, 'I just need to laugh.' Curtains go up; lights come on; and everyone is on."
Vermilion native Anthony Trifiletti also doubles assignments as choral music and orchestra director.
"The biggest (challenge) when we're doing a musical like this is so much of the story is conveyed through song," Trifiletti said. "Our job is to make it enjoyable and understandable. So, the story comes to the forefront through the music we're presenting."
He said his favorite song is "Kiss the Girl."
"I think it's funny; I think it's entertaining," Trifiletti said. "I think it's relatable to most of the audience, especially me."
The 40th anniversary shows of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" begin 7:30 p.m., July 14, 15, 21, 22; and 2 p.m., July 16 and 23.
Tickets cost $20 for adults, $18 for seniors age 55 and older, and $16 for children and students to age 21. Special VIP patron seating is available for $30. For groups of 20 or more, discounts are available.
Lorain Performing Arts Center is found on the Pole Avenue side of Lorain High.
Olejko said her favorite scenes feature the father character and his seven daughters.
"Trident, I made him into my dad," she said. "The relationships between fathers and daughters, whether it's Tevya in 'Fiddler on the Roof' or Trident, everybody has the same problems.
"All father-daughter relationships are entertaining, heartbreaking, and never, ever go away."

|Zhang, Haoqi, and David C. Parkes. 2008. Enabling environment design via active indirect elicitation. Paper presented at the 4th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling (MRPERF'08) Chicago IL, July 2008

|Many situations arise in which an interested party wishes to
affect the decisions of an agent; e.g., a teacher that seeks to
promote particular study habits, a Web 2.0 site that seeks to
encourage users to contribute content, or an online retailer
that seeks to encourage consumers to write reviews. In the
problem of environment design, one assumes an interested
party who is able to alter limited aspects of the environment
for the purpose of promoting desirable behaviors. A critical
aspect of environment design is understanding preferences,
but by assumption direct queries are unavailable. We work in
the inverse reinforcement learning framework, adopting here
the idea of active indirect preference elicitation to learn the reward function of the agent by observing behavior in response
to incentives. We show that the process is convergent and
obtain desirable bounds on the number of elicitation rounds.
We briefly discuss generalizations of the elicitation method to
other forms of environment design, e.g., modifying the state
space, transition model, and available actions.

I remember when you had to pick up the telephone to make a call to someone.. AND A PERSON ANSWERED, If they did not answer, you called again later.
Today, If I call someone and the "voicemail" does not work, the girl picks up the phone and says, "Sorry The voice mail not working you can't leave a message for John Doe"
I explain to the girl that if she got a pencil and paper she can WRITE MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER AND HAND THE MESSAGE TO HIM" She is impressed! I cant reach people any more!!!! .. the more communications the HARDER it is to talk to someone! Facebook, Email, Twitters, I Phones, I Pads, Computers, Skypes, Texting.... ITS NO WONDER OUR ECONOMY IS SO BAD.. Sales people cant talk to anyone but machines!
Well, folks this was all planned and its just part of the program...
Anyone else? can you not talk to people when you need to? Does todays gadgets and technology keep you from growing your business or making sales?

The Computer and New Technoogy is DESTROYING Our Society,
Grandma was not always right.. NO ONE IS. but our older folks ARE SMARTER.. Maybe not with tech but the simple things, they are way smarter at the simple things and what they know from before history is a cycle..

What you said reminded me I saw last week a new clip about how the abacus is making a comeback here in Canada among some of the children .
The abacus, that ancient, no-batteries-required, bead-based calculator, is making a comeback in after-school programs across Canada. The schools, which are modelled after programs common across India and Japan, use the low-tech tool to teach children to perform complex calculations without the help of pen or paper. Dozens have taken root in Canada over the past eight years, mostly in areas dense with Southeast Asian immigrants.
Abacus article
The period 2700–2300 BC saw the first appearance of the Sumerian abacus, a table of successive columns which delimited the successive orders of magnitude of their sexagesimal number system.[6] Some scholars point to a character from the Babylonian cuneiform which may have been derived from a representation of the abacus.[7] It is the belief of Old Babylonian[8] scholars such as Carruccio that Old Babylonians "may have used the abacus for the operations of addition and subtraction; however, this primitive device proved difficult to use for more complex calculations"

An abacus is a primitive calculator
The days of really doing math in our heads have been long long gone before me and you were here .
If the parent are not making sure their kids know to do math with out a calculator than that is their own fault as they are the ones providing their kids with a calculator

- Bi-Directional Sanger Sequencing
- Deletion/Duplication Testing via Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization
Bi-Directional Sanger Sequencing
Test Procedure
Nomenclature for sequence variants was from the Human Genome Variation Society (http://www.hgvs.org). As required, DNA is extracted from the patient specimen. PCR is used to amplify the indicated exons plus additional flanking non-coding sequence. After cleaning of the PCR products, cycle sequencing is carried out using the ABI Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 kit. Products are resolved by electrophoresis on an ABI 3730xl capillary sequencer. In most cases, sequencing is performed in both forward and reverse directions; in some cases, sequencing is performed twice in either the forward or reverse directions. In nearly all cases, the full coding region of each exon as well as 10 bases of non-coding DNA flanking the exon are sequenced.
Analytical Validity
As of February 2018, we compared 26.8 Mb of Sanger DNA sequence generated at PreventionGenetics to NextGen sequence generated in other labs. We detected only 4 errors in our Sanger sequences, and these were all due to allele dropout during PCR. For Proficiency Testing, both external and internal, in the 14 years of our lab operation we have Sanger sequenced roughly 14,300 PCR amplicons. Only one error has been identified, and this was an error in analysis of sequence data.
Our Sanger sequencing is capable of detecting virtually all nucleotide substitutions within the PCR amplicons. Similarly, we detect essentially all heterozygous or homozygous deletions within the amplicons. Homozygous deletions which overlap one or more PCR primer annealing sites are detectable as PCR failure. Heterozygous deletions which overlap one or more PCR primer annealing sites are usually not detected (see Analytical Limitations). All heterozygous insertions within the amplicons up to about 100 nucleotides in length appear to be detectable. Larger heterozygous insertions may not be detected. All homozygous insertions within the amplicons up to about 300 nucleotides in length appear to be detectable. Larger homozygous insertions may masquerade as homozygous deletions (PCR failure).
Analytical Limitations
In exons where our sequencing did not reveal any variation between the two alleles, we cannot be certain that we were able to PCR amplify both of the patient's alleles. Occasionally, a patient may carry an allele which does not amplify, due for example to a deletion or a large insertion. In these cases, the report contains no information about the second allele.
Similarly, our sequencing tests have almost no power to detect duplications, triplications, etc. of the gene sequences.
In most cases, only the indicated exons and roughly 10 bp of flanking non-coding sequence on each side are analyzed. Test reports contain little or no information about other portions of the gene, including many regulatory regions.
In nearly all cases, we are unable to determine the phase of sequence variants. In particular, when we find two likely causative mutations for recessive disorders, we cannot be certain that the mutations are on different alleles.
Our ability to detect minor sequence variants, due for example to somatic mosaicism is limited. Sequence variants that are present in less than 50% of the patient's nucleated cells may not be detected.
Runs of mononucleotide repeats (eg (A)n or (T)n) with n >8 in the reference sequence are generally not analyzed because of strand slippage during PCR and cycle sequencing.
Unless otherwise indicated, the sequence data that we report are based on DNA isolated from a specific tissue (usually leukocytes). Test reports contain no information about gene sequences in other tissues.
Deletion/Duplication Testing via Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization
Test Procedure
Equal amounts of genomic DNA from the patient and a gender matched reference sample are amplified and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes, respectively. To prevent any sample cross contamination, a unique sample tracking control is added into each patient sample. Each labeled patient product is then purified, quantified, and combined with the same amount of reference product. The combined sample is loaded onto the designed array and hybridized for at least 22-42 hours at 65°C. Arrays are then washed and scanned immediately with 2.5 µM resolution. Only data for the gene(s) of interest for each patient are extracted and analyzed.
Analytical Validity
PreventionGenetics' high density gene-centric custom designed aCGH enables the detection of relatively small deletions and duplications within a single exon of a given gene or deletions and duplications encompassing the entire gene. PreventionGenetics has established and verified this test's accuracy and precision.
Analytical Limitations
Our dense probe coverage may allow detection of deletions/duplications down to 100 bp; however due to limitations and probe spacing this cannot be guaranteed across all exons of all genes. Therefore, some copy number changes smaller than 100-300 bp within a targeted large exon may not be detected by our array.
This array may not detect deletions and duplications present at low levels of mosaicism or those present in genes that have pseudogene copies or repeats elsewhere in the genome.
aCGH will not detect balanced translocations, inversions, or point mutations that may be responsible for the clinical phenotype.
Breakpoints, if occurring outside the targeted gene, may be hard to define.
The sensitivity of this assay may be reduced when DNA is extracted by an outside laboratory.

"Food poisoning" is a general name given to illnesses featured by consuming contaminated food or water that has gone bad or is contaminated. There are two kinds of food poisoning: infectious agent, toxic agent. Food intoxication also known as food poisoning in which food contains toxins.
Food poisoning may be caused due to the micro-organisms like pathogenic bacteria, viruses, prions or parasites commonly called "germs: or "bugs". Illness can also be caused by chemical contaminants (such as heavy metals), toxins produced by the micro-organisms .
Symptoms and Treatment
Food poisoning may be symptom-free or may have symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to severe dehydration and bloody diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, fever, abdominal cramping, dehydration, rectal bleeding, and bloating. It can be treated by drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration ,to replace the fluids lost through vomiting and diarrhoea. Take rest as much as possible, eat when you feel up to it.
For all pathogens, the number of outbreak-related cases was calculated as the average annual number of such cases reported to CDC from 1983 to 1992, the most recent years for which published outbreak data are available. For pathogens also under passive surveillance, we used the average number of cases reported to CDC from 1992 through 1997, and for pathogens under active surveillance through FoodNet.
