You can take care of your landscape and help protect Puget Sound by just saying "NO" to weed & feed products. These combine quick-release fertilizer and weed killers. They are spread all over the lawn, not just where a few weeds are noticed. The best method is to hand-pull weeds, but if that is not possible, "spot spray" just the weeds and work on building a healthy soil.
If you have a lawn, aerate it. Air and water can infiltrate or soak into the soil. It is the most effective way to loosen up compacted or poorly draining soils.
Overseed and top dress the lawn. Once aerated, overseed the grass with a perennial rye/fine fescue grass seed mix for the Pacific Northwest. Then top dress with ¼ inch to ½ inch of fine compost. The compost covers the seed, improves the soil and adds nutrients.
Switch to a slow-release organic fertilizer. Slow release fertilizers release at a rate plants can use them. It's less likely the nutrients will wash away, leaving no excess chemicals that can be carried by stormwater into streams, lakes and finally Puget Sound, where they contribute to water quality problems in the warm summer.
Use the grass clippings to "feed" your lawn. This is called "grass-cycling". Each time you mow, leave the clippings on the lawn to provide nutrients to your lawn. Before doing this, make sure your mower blade is very sharp or replaced with a sharp mulching blade to make clean cuts and help prevent disease.

For Sale! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's California Ranch
For Sale! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's California Ranch
When we found out today that Ellen and Portia were selling their gorgeous Santa Monica ranch, we couldn't help but get a little sad. You might recall that the ranch, featured in the May issue of Elle Decor, is an absolute stunner. Purchased in 2009, it took budding interior designer Ellen just one year to turn the eight-cabin compound into an editorial-worthy residence. Apparently, Ellen has a real estate itch that needs to be scratched, so the couple is moving to a $26 million villa in nearby Montecito. We can't wait to see what Ellen does with their new place, but in the meantime, let's take a look back at the 26-acre property that is currently on the market for a cool $11 million.

When we spent a portion of last Monday's Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network pointing out the best and worst moves that we believed each AFC team made in the draft, I took issue with the Browns' decision to swap a fourth-round pick in 2013 for a third-round pick in 2014 and a fifth-round pick in 2013 for a fourth-round pick in 2014.
The Browns take issue with the criticism of the decision.
According to Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, who as one league source pointed out appears to be on track to becoming one of the primary local-media mouthpieces for the new regime, the Browns simply didn't like the players who were available to be picked at the time they swapped current picks for future picks in one higher round.
Per Pluto, a "top operative" in the Browns organization became "angry" at the suggestion that the new regime didn't trust the work that had been performed by the scouts hired by the Mike Holmgren/Tom Heckert front office tag-team. "We had all the information we needed," the source told Pluto. "We did our homework. The [prior] scouts were not an issue when we came to the trades. We just didn't like the players available."
In defending the team's decision to trade the picks, Pluto writes that new G.M. Mike Lombardi knew he'd get the job during the regular season — which if accurate is hardly a ringing endorsement for the effectiveness of the Rooney Rule.
That said, we still think it would have been prudent to use the draft picks now and not later. A lot can change by next April, especially with the Browns in the relatively unique position of being owned by someone whose other business is the subject of an aggressive FBI and IRS investigation.
Pluto has plenty of other keen insight regarding the Cleveland draft, including the team's reasons for not trading from No. 6 down to No. 16 with the Rams, the four possible "blue chippers" the Browns had on their draft board, and the plans for first-rounder defensive end Barkevious Mingo, who'll transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense.
Moving forward, we'll keep an extra-close eye on Pluto's news and analysis of the Browns, because it appears he has definitely found a pipeline into the thinking of the folks now running the team.

"Becoming a FIFA cover athlete is an incredible honor," said Sanchez, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico. "I love EA SPORTS, especially the FIFA franchise. To think that my likeness is in the game, and that all the great teams from the Mexican League are now available, is tremendous."All three soccer stars will appear on packaging and merchandising for FIFA Soccer 2005 in North America while Patrick Viera will replace Sanchez in the European territories. Shevchenko was the leading scorer for the Italian series A champions AC Milan last year. Spanish born Morientes is a three-time Champions League winner playing for Real Madrid and has scored more than 100 goals since joining the club in 1997. Sanchez currently serves as the captain of 10-time national champion Chivas.
"All three players represent the global importance of soccer and help make the FIFA franchise the most authentic and dominant video game on the market," said Matt Bilbey, Director of Worldwide Soccer for EA SPORTS. "Shevchenko, Morientes, Sanchez and Viera have each made a significant impact on the sport and each brings a wide range of personality and style to the FIFA Soccer franchise."Great soccer players need a great first touch -- and the same is now true for gamers with FIFA Soccer 2005. Using an all-new fluid player kinetic system, a player's first touch becomes a key advantage for players who can think quickly and act fast to outsmart the competition. An all-new animation system reacts to every button press with authentic responsiveness, directly translating to the speed and vision of the world's greatest players. With more than 350 official team and league licenses from around the world, more than 12,000 officially licensed players, an enhanced Career Mode, and EA SPORTS Online play (PlayStation 2 console only), FIFA Soccer 2005 is billed as the only complete, authentic, and intelligent soccer experience.

Why does it take so long to get insurance approval?
After you have completed all of the pre-operative tests and consultations and have meet with your bariatric surgeon, this information is then submitted into your insurance company. Your insurance company then reviews this information. This review process can very greatly but on average takes 2 to 4 weeks. Your bariatric surgeon's insurance specialist can provide to you specific details about how long this process would take based on your specific insurance plan.
• How can they deny insurance payment for a life-threatening disease?
Approval for bariatric surgery may be denied because there may be a specific exclusion in your policy for obesity surgery or "treatment of obesity." Insurance approval may also be denied for lack of "medical necessity." A therapy is deemed to be medically necessary when it is needed to treat a serious or life-threatening condition. Medical necessity denials may hinge on the insurance company's request for documentation of medical illness also known as a co-morbidity such as type II diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or proof of being overweight for the past 5 years
• What can I do to help the process?
Gather all the information (diet records, medical records, medical tests) your insurance company may require. This reduces the likelihood of a denial for failure to provide "necessary" information. Letters from your personal physician and consultants attesting to the "medical necessity" of treatment are particularly valuable. When several physicians report the same findings, it may confirm a medical necessity for surgery.
Work closely with the bariatric surgeon's insurance specialist to ensure all required pre-operative tests and consultations are completed and on file. This will allow for a single submission of all required documents into your insurance company all at one time by the surgeon's insurance specialist on your behalf as this helps to prevent any delays.

Minnesota could become a destination for diabetes treatment, research and products.
The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic have picked the disease as the next focus of their joint collaboration.
"So you have between the two institutions a group of scientists who are the best in the world," said Dr. Frank Cerra, dean of the U of M Medical School. "Now we have built over the last few years of the partnership the platform that will support this kind of an effort."
The U of M and Mayo are in the sixth year of their joint partnership on biotechnology and medical genomics. Cerra said the diabetes initiative will require more public and private money, but the amount hasn't been determined yet.
Mayo's Executive Dean of Research Robert Rizza said diabetes shortens the lives of millions of Americans and costs the U.S. health care system $170 billion a year. He said Minnesota has the expertise and infrastructure to tackle the disease.
"We're hoping to make Minnesota as one of the places where diabetes begins to become basically conquered and then cured," Rizza said. "Then it has tremendous ramifications for business, for people for coming. So yes you may come here, but also many of the things developed may well become value-added products, businesses that could go around the world."
Details of the plan are still being worked out. But U of M and Mayo officials told a small group of lawmakers Tuesday they would likely need more state money to fund their diabetes initiative.

Moving back behind the law officer, you wait for him to fire. The Grak finishes its frenzied feeding, turning its slavering maw towards you. It springs into action, clacking its beak, its arachnid eyes glinting.
The officer fires, the shot impacting on the creature's torso, but the Grak is already leaping into the air, vicious blades slicing into the law-man. He falls to the ground, doggedly struggling against the infant monster. The gun falls from his hand – you could help, or you could make a run for it...
You grab the firearm and point it towards the Grak. The weapon is heavy in your hands – you've never fired a gun before. With a sudden rush of courage, you step in as close as you dare and pull the trigger. The gun flies up in the air, the recoil taking you by surprise, but your aim is good. The Grak falls to the floor, a puncture wound through its skull.
You're not out of the wood yet, as two more law officers round the corner. They draw their weapons, aiming at you. From their angle, it looks very much like you just gunned down their comrade. Deciding not to antagonise the men, you drop the gun, holding your hands aloft in the surrender.
The officers close in. They recoil as they catch sight of the Grak corpse, but quickly move into action, one man helping his wounded colleague, the other questioning you about the recent events. Before you can answer, the see movement from the rooftops. The remaining thugs have returned – and this time they're packing heat!
The law-men and the thugs both train their firearms on each other. Neither party opens fire but neither wants to back down. You motion to Ray to sneak up on the thugs – the little robot heads off cautiously. You stall for time, offering money to the men on the rooftops. They sneer at your offer, but are suitably distracted as Ray makes his move, charging into the leader of the group, knocking him off the rooftop.
The men open fire, the law officers shooting back at them. As the bullets whistle over your head, you take heroic action, grabbing the wounded man and pulling him to safety in a nearby alleyway. His fellow officers arrive, having dealt with the armed thugs. One of them grabs you roughly, sensing that you were involved with the earlier mayhem. The wounded officer tells him in a weak and rattling voice to let you go. You smile at him, grateful for his kindness.
Heading back out onto the street, you search for Ray. You find the robot behind a large container bin – he's sustained some critical damage from a gun blast. He'll need repairs, but you'll have to sacrifice all your remaining repair supplies.
A deep sense of loyalty welling within, you begin work to restore Ray back to full-functionality. You've almost finished the job, when you realise that the last section of Ray's instruction manual is missing. Placing the fate your little robotic companion in the hands of chance, you a pick a wire to use for the last connection. Ray seems fine, but when he tries to speak, unintelligible gobbledegook issues from his vocal transmitter. Oh well, you'll have to make do.
You head out of Dust City, glad to put the town behind you. As you near your AuGArma, you see a sight that fills you with overwhelming despair. Reylan has already arrived, his silver and blue Arma standing triumphantly next to yours. A voice calls out to you – it's Reylan. He's standing in front of the two machines, beckoning you to come and talk with him. It could be a trap...
Although you're not entirely certain of your opponent's motives, you approach him cautiously. Reylan states that he wants a fair fight – he's going to let you repair, if you're happy to meet him in the valley to the east for the last battle of the preliminary round. He turns away, heading back towards his Arma. You could attack him now, whilst his back is turned...
Honour wins over treachery, and you decide to make it a fair fight, as Reylan suggested. As your opponent heads off, you start the repair work on your Arma – once the new power coupling is in place, everything seems to be in working order. You set off towards the valley. Reylan has kept his word and awaits you within the narrow rocky passage. It's time to fight!
You burst into action, utilising the swiftness of your Arma. Reylan defends skilfully, taking minor damage.
The Ragnarok shudders as Reylan lands a heavy blow – his Arma is built to deal destruction.
Attacking with speed and precision, you inflict a couple of good punches, sending your opponent's Arma reeling.
Reylan responds with a well-timed kick, catching your Arma squarely in its metal chest.
You sweep the Ragnarok's leg into Reylan's Arma, sending the silver & blue machine crashing to the ground.
Firing your 'EMP Blast', you unleash a burst of lightning into your opponent's Arma, stunning Reylan briefly.
Taking advantage of Reylan's immobility, you attack. Your blows land, but aren't too effective.
Relyan manages to coax his Arma back to life. He lashes out at you with an uncoordinated strike.
Your Arma's metal fist strikes your opponent in a blur of motion – your speedy attacks find their mark.
A powerful attack from Reylan sends you sprawling. Warning lights flash across your HUD – you can't take much more.
Reylan brings his secondary weapon online. A long slender cannon extends on his Arma's shoulder – a Rail Gun.
You don't have time to dodge the magnetised projectile. It blasts through the chest of the Ragnarok.
You try to move, but it's no good. The Ragnarok slumps onto the dusty ground, unable to continue the fight.
You have been defeated...
You AuGArma has been destroyed...
But is this the end?
Read the exciting conclusion to Starfall to find out how this chapter ends. This story has finished, but the adventure has only just begun!

On May 4th, 1775, my 4th great grandfather enlisted in the Revolutionary War. Asa Benjamin joined at Worthington, MA. He served eight months as a private and was discharged on December 23, 1775. He re-enlisted and was discharged six times from first enlistment to his final discharge in 1781.
Asa was born in Preston, New London, CT in 1754. He descended from the Benjamin family that came to America with John Winthrop and the Great Puritan Migration in 1632.
It was during one of his re-enlistments that Benjamin transferred to Valley Forge, PA on March 19, 1778 and served in the Commander-in-Chief's Guard protecting George Washington. The Guard was an elite group of soldiers who were chosen to protect against a surprise raid on Washington's headquarters.
On March 11, 1776, General Washington issued the following orders:
"Head-Quarters, Cambridge March 11, 1776
The General is desirous of selecting a particular number of men as a guard for himself and baggage. The Colonel or Commanding Officer of each of the established regiments, the artillery and riflemen excepted, will furnish him with four, that the number of wanted may be chosen out of them. His Excellency depends upon the Colonels for good men, such as they can recommend for their sobriety, honesty and good behavior. He wishes them to be from five feet eight inches to five feet ten inches, handsomely and well made, and as there is nothing in his eyes more desirable than cleanliness in a soldier, he desires that particular attention be made in the choice of such men as are clean and spruce. They are to be at headquarters tomorrow precisely at 12 o'clock at noon, when the number wanted will be fixed upon. The General neither wants them with uniforms nor arms, nor does he desire any man to be sent to him that is not perfectly willing or desirous of being in this Guard. – They should be drilled men."
After serving for a few months in the Guard, Benjamin returned home to work on his farm. He soon re-enlisted and eventually earned the rank of lieutenant.
An historian talked to Asa's great grandson, Reuben, who recalled having seen the old uniform that his ancestor had worn. "It was moth-eaten and worn and was hung in the barn. It was finally torn up as rags for some use around the farm. It may have been used in wiping off the spindles of the carriage when grease anew."
Asa Benjamin and his family moved to Pierpont, Ashtabula Co., OH in 1811. He died on December 28, 1825 and is buried in the family plot in Pierpont's Hall Rd. (Sam Brown) Cemetery.

(Reuters) - The New York Rangers have fired head coach John Tortorella after another disappointing early exit from the playoffs, the National Hockey League (NHL) team said on Wednesday.
The decision to release Tortorella, an outspoken coach who has been fined several times by the NHL for his often brusque style with the media, comes four days after the Rangers were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
It marked a disappointing end to a season that started with high expectations after Tortorella led the team to their second most wins all-time with 51 during the 2011-12 campaign before falling in the conference finals.
"Every coach has a shelf life," Rangers General Manager Glen Sather told reporters on a conference call. "I've told every guy that I've hired that at some point in time it's going to change.
"Our goal is to win the Stanley Cup. And we didn't achieve that goal this year and I had to make the decision and I did."
Sather made no other staff changes, saying further decisions would wait for the team's organizational meetings next month. He also said he hoped to have a new head coach in place before the NHL Draft on June 30.
Tortorella, 54, compiled a 171-115-29 record with New York since being named the 34th coach in Rangers franchise history in February 2009. He was also an assistant coach for the Rangers for the 1999-2000 campaign, where he served as head coach for the final four games of the season.
Prior to rejoining the Rangers, Tortorella coached the Tampa Bay Lightning for seven seasons and, in 2004, led them to a Stanley Cup championship and was named coach of the year.
For his career, Tortorella has compiled a 410-330-37-67 record and ranks first on the NHL's all-time wins list among U.S.-born head coaches.
During his tenure with the Rangers, the team missed the playoffs once, suffered two opening-round exits and lost in the conference semi-finals and finals once each.
"It wasn't one thing," said Sather, who told also reporters that Tortorella was shocked when told he was fired.
"After the analytical work that we do every year at the end of the season, trying to decide how we are going to improve the team and how we are going to move forward, this is the decision that I made."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A star-studded list of international celebrities and political heavyweights followed up their attendance at Israeli President Shimon Peres' 90th birthday by taking part in the annual President's Conference in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Dubbed "Facing Tomorrow," the gathering is supposed to be a venue for hashing out new ideas on how to forge a better, more secure society in this region, but most of the presenters seemed stuck in the same old, failed efforts of the past.
Former US President Bill Clinton was the day's most honored guest, receiving from Peres the President's Award, the highest honor that Israel can bestow on a foreigner.
Peres called Clinton himself the "great American dream that has become the hope of us all." Clinton reciprocated by calling Peres a champion of peace, before telling the rest of Israel that it had no choice but to make peace on Arab terms. "I don't see an alternative to a Palestinian state," said Clinton.
Former US Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer followed up by further chastising Israel. "Let's say you agree that this is not the time for final status [peace talks], why would you dig yourself into a deeper hole with settlements every single day?" he questioned. "The Arab world is now ready to deal with the state of Israel with certain parameters," Kurtzer continued, sidestepping Israeli concerns that some of those "parameters" are of a suicidal nature.
Former British Prime Minister and tireless Quartet talking head Tony Blair reiterated that "time is running out for Middle East peace." Blair has been saying that for the better part of the last decade.
Israelis also got in on the action, with former Mossad chief Meir Dagan asking incredulously, "Should we wait for Hamas to take over the West Bank" before signing a peace deal?
Dagan, despite supposedly being an intelligent guy, seemed to have forgotten that Hamas only seized control of the Gaza Strip AFTER Israel has surrendered it to full Palestinian control.

Kelly L. Wormwood Receives First David A. Walsh Fellowship
Kelly L. Wormwood of Lowville, N.Y., a senior majoring in chemistry and biomolecular science at Clarkson University, has received the David A. Walsh '67 Fellowship.
The fellowship, established earlier this year through a donation from Walsh, a resident of Spotsylvania, Va., provided funds for Wormwood's travel and research supplies during the summer.
Wormwood has presented her work at three different scientific conferences: the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Meeting (ASMS) in Minneapolis, Minn., the 2013 Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) Family and Medical Conference in Pittsburgh, Pa., and the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) conference at Clarkson University.
Wormwood's faculty advisor, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science Costel C. Darie, was also a beneficiary of the fellowship. Walsh's generosity will provide $10,000 fellowships to be awarded in each of the next three years to an undergraduate student majoring in chemistry and biomolecular science and his or her advisor.
At the ASMS meeting, Wormwood was one only 28 undergraduate students who participated of approximately 7,000 scientists in attendance, and her work was presented as one of 3,000 posters. At the SLOS meeting, Kelly was the only undergraduate student to present a poster out of 70 posters, and at the SURE conference, she won first prize in the biochemistry section.
Wormwood has worked in Darie's Biochemistry & Proteomics Group since summer 2011, following her freshman year. Her research has focused on identifying biomarkers in saliva and serum that could indicate autism and other developmental disorders, such as 2013 Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome.
While at Clarkson, David Walsh studied chemical engineering for two years before transferring into the chemistry program for his final two years and graduating as a member of the Class of 1967. Walsh subsequently attended graduate school at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), where he received a master of science degree in organic chemistry.
After two years in the U.S. Army at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C., he returned to UNH in Durham where in 1973 he earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry. He then conducted postdoctoral work in medicinal chemistry at the University of Kansas. Most of his professional career was spent in the pharmaceutical industry. He is the author or co-author of more than 60 publications and 30 U.S. patents, and two drugs synthesized in his labs have been successfully commercialized.
As a research chemist, Walsh recognizes the tremendous educational and intellectual benefits of undergraduate students experiencing collaborative, hands-on research in the laboratory. In making this gift, he desired to further expand and enhance research opportunities available to Clarkson students within the Chemistry & Biomolecular Science Department.
Wormwood will graduate in December and plans to attend graduate school to study biomolecular science and chemistry. She aspires to eventually become a research professor.
She has a long history of presenting her work at poster presentations and in publications. She presented or was co-author of 11 posters for which she garnered two first-place awards and an honorable mention. She is also co-author of six publications or manuscripts (four published and two under review). As a Walsh fellow, she also trained and supervised an area high school student.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

[Illinois] ECE 416 Assay Formats
Published on
In this lecture, assays, which is the most widely used technique to detect molecules on surfaces are discussed. In the direct assays, there is a "labeled assay" method and a "label-Free Assay" method. The Label-Free Assay method is used with most biosensor surfaces and allows a transducer to detect the presence of the antibodies. The Labeled-Assay provides a dumb surface which then provides labeling methods such as radioactive and fluorescent in order to detect the molecules. Them most popular type of assay is the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) which is an enzyme tag attached to the detected antibodies. There is direct ELISA which is the immobilization of the antibodies with enzymes attached and indirect ELISA which contains a secondary Antibody connected to the primary Antibody. The enzyme-substrate complex is then connected on the secondary antibody. The last method is the sandwich ELISA which has the molecule sandwiched between a capture antibody and a detection antibody. Throughout this whole process, though, the enzyme only acts as a catalase.
My research group is focused on the application of sub-wavelength optical phenomena and fabrication methods to the development of novel devices and instrumentation for the life sciences. The group is highly interdisciplinary, with expertise in the areas of microfabrication, nanotechnology, computer simulation, instrumentation, molecular biology, and cell biology. In particular, we are working on biosensors based upon photonic crystal concepts that can either be built from low-cost flexible plastic materials, or integrated with semiconductor-based active devices, such as light sources and photodetectors, for high performance integrated detection systems.
Using a combination of micrometer-scale and nanometer-scale fabrication tools, we are devising novel methods and materials for producing electro-optic devices with nanometer-scale features that can be scaled for low-cost manufacturing. Many of our techniques are geared for compatibility with flexible plastic materials, leading to applications such as low cost disposable sensors, wearable sensors, flexible electronics, and flexible displays. Because our structures manipulate light at a scale that is smaller than an optical wavelength, we rely on computer simulation tools such as Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) and Finite Difference Time Doman (FDTD) to model, design, and understand optical phenomena within photonic crystals and related devices.
In addition to fabricating devices, our group is also focused on the design, prototyping, and testing of biosensor instrumentation for high sensitivity, portability, and resolution. Advanced instruments enable high resolution imaging of biochemical and cellular interactions with the ability to monitor images of biochemical interactions as a function of time. Using the sensors and instrumentation, we are exploring new applications for optical biosensor technology including protein microarrays, biosensor/mass spectrometry systems, and microfluidics-based assays using nanoliter quantities of reagents. The methods and systems developed in the laboratory are applied in the fields of life science research, drug discovery, diagnostic testing, and environmental monitoring. -From Professor Cunningham's Faculty Profile

2nd Annual Lafayette Association of Wabash Men Golf Outingby Michael Warren • August 2, 2004 Share:
A great day on a great golf course describes the day many Wabash alumni and friends had on Tuesday, July 27 as the Lafayette Association of Wabash Men held it's second annual golf outing at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex.
The Ackerman Hills course appeared to be in prime condition and proved to be easily managed by the winning team of Steve Hoffman'85, Dow Dellinger'93, and Nick Williams'05 as they finished twelve under par, edging out two other competitive teams. Following golf everyone enjoyed a fine catered meal and heard from President Andy Ford as he updated those in attendance on the state of the College.
Special thanks to Corey Barnard'00 who handled much of the preparations prior to the event, to the staff at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, and the staff of the Purdue Memorial Union.

Some well-known putting gurus will preach about the importance of the putting "arc." Other renowned teachers will preach "straight back and straight through." Confused? So which is it? And what does the distinction mean?
My belief is that golf is nothing more than applied physics. If you were to design an object to swing straight back and straight through, you would insert shaft that's 90 degrees to the head. The USGA's Rules of Golf state, however, that the shaft can be no greater than 80 degrees to the ground.
Consider this: If you were going to swing straight back and through, you would straddle the intended line of play like croquet. The USGA, though, requires players to have both feet on the same side of the ball outlawing Sam Snead's croquet style putting. This creates a side-on game, like hitting a baseball, hitting a groundstroke in tennis or hitting a hockey puck. All swing in an arc. My high school physics class tells me the putter whose standard lie angle is 71 degrees is not designed to swing straight back and straight through. And in my putting research, I have found that golfers who try to swing straight back and through are manipulating the putter face closed on the back swing and open on the downswing and follow through.
Over time manipulations break down, causing the yips. If you want to really help your putting don't think about swinging the putter straight back and straight through but focus much more on your target line and the speed of the putt.

To the uninitiated, the name "iPalpiti" might conjure up a new line of Apple products. For those most familiar with the artist foundation and two-week music festival of the same name based in Los Angeles, iPalpiti is about spotlighting international talent (mostly string musicians from their late teens to early 30s) and presenting those players in a broad and creative range of musical combinations and repertoire.
Now in its 13th year, iPalpiti has also become a respected fixture in L.A.'s summer musical calendar with public performances throughout the city and in Beverly Hills. On Saturday, the festival culminates with its annual showcase concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall, featuring the iPalpiti Orchestra and guest soloists.
"The level of performance is extremely high," Los Angeles Philharmonic principal concertmaster Martin Chalifour says of the festival. Chalifour, an artistic advisor to iPalpiti, held a master class with some of the 26 professionals in this year's program. He believes that iPalpiti's musical excellence arises in no small part from the dedication and distinctive background of the festival's founder, music director and conductor Eduard Schmieder.
"Eduard is on the juries of multiple competitions and he is one of the people best placed to find world talent, for he does this for weeks every year," says Chalifour. In describing Schmieder's teaching style and conducting, Chalifour says, "It is not an autocratic approach. He encourages his musicians to listen to one another."
iPalpiti is an idiosyncratic spelling of the Italian word for "heartbeats." And, according to a few of the participants in this summer's festival, the name is fitting, due to the infectious emotional energy that the music-making aims to create and — unique to this year — the festival's celebration of the birth bicentennials of Romantic composers Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann.
Schmieder, a noted violin pedagogue born and trained in Russia, came to this country with his wife, Laura, in 1979. Both self-described refuseniks (Jews living in the then-Soviet Union prohibited from emigrating), the Schmieders finally were able to settle in Beaumont, Texas. Eventually he obtained successive teaching positions at Rice University in Houston, USC, Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Temple University in Philadelphia, where he has instructed since 2006.
In spite of the itinerant teaching, Los Angeles has remained the Schmieders' permanent home for 20 years. Their comfortable house in the Hollywood Hills is in strong contrast to when they first came to this country, penniless and isolated. Much of what Schmieder, 62, says he is trying to achieve with iPalpiti is making it easier for young musicians to establish a career.
"I understand how incredibly difficult it is for young musicians to get recognition," says Schmieder. "That always has been the case from the days of Buxtehude and Mozart. But composers can live after their deaths, performers cannot."
Unfortunately, he says, "talented musicians don't always find their way."
Inspired by the bighearted generosity of violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who lent his name and support to iPalpiti, Schmieder began the foundation (formerly known as Young Artists International) in 1997 with help from his wife, also a violinist. Since then, iPalpiti has awarded more than 200 scholarships to gifted young musicians from 42 countries, based largely on recommendations from colleagues and an advisory board that includes pianists Vladimir Ashkenazy and Yefim Bronfman, violinist Gidon Kremer and cellist Lynn Harrell, among others. For its annual summer festival here in L.A., iPalpiti covers all participants' travel expenses, room and board.
Schmieder is happy to count the many alumni who have moved on to substantial careers and play in the world's top orchestras.
Romanian-born pianist Luiza Borac, who participated in one of the first iPalpiti festivals, is one such alum. Widely praised for her recent recordings of the piano music of Georges Enescu on the Avie label, Borac returns to iPalpiti as the featured soloist in Chopin's First Piano Concerto on Saturday's Disney Hall program.
"I think the secret of this festival is that Eduard encourages you to be yourself and allows you to move into this musical world to find your own language," says Borac. It's an intense and concentrated period of rehearsals and performances over two weeks. But she adds, "It becomes pure joy because it is so interesting to see these pieces in a new light and to bring them to new life with new people."
What will be particularly novel about Saturday's execution of the Chopin concerto is the smaller-sized orchestral accompaniment, minus many of the woodwind and brass instruments commonly heard in performances of the work today. This more transparent orchestration is closer to Chopin's original intentions, Schmieder believes, and is based on old orchestral parts preserved in the composer's native Poland. Sharing the program with the Chopin is Schumann's Cello Concerto, with German cellist Julius Berger. It too features a reduced orchestration that Schmieder says is most reflective of the composer's intentions.
It might be considered unorthodox but Schmieder believes that this arrangement is the most appropriate way to honor the occasion. "I believe we can celebrate composers' anniversaries not only by paying tribute but by being faithful to their original desires," he says. "It took two centuries before music of the Baroque era was played properly. Why not with the Romantic composers, the same faithfulness?"
The bicentennial tribute will continue Saturday evening with "In Memoriam Frédéric Chopin," a recent work by Canadian composer Ronald Royer that is inspired by Chopin's Nocturne in E minor, Op. 72, No. 1.
For Saturday's program, iPalpiti's musicians, who have trained most of their lives to become soloists, will instead play together as orchestral musicians under Schmieder's baton.
Chalifour feels that it's excellent practice for the festival's young players. "You can be a finer soloist if you know how to fit in with each other," he says. In fact, he says, the networking possibilities of this festival alone carry enormous weight.
For Schmieder, the festival's reward is the ardent music-making. It gives meaning to all the time and effort that he and his wife have spent to make iPalpiti possible.
"For me, it's important to convey the music in an electrifying manner, through incredible, enormous energy. If it's strong and sincere, then the audiences get excited. It's not enough to execute a composition technically," he says. "Fortunately, we have young musicians who play with such honest enthusiasm."
Schmieder says that iPalpiti is about laying the right groundwork for the next generation.
"I know how [this music] has changed my life," he says. "I just couldn't live with the thought that it was evaporating before my eyes."
To the uninitiated, the name "iPalpiti" might conjure up a new line of Apple products. For those most familiar with the artist foundation and two-week music festival of the same name based in Los Angeles, iPalpiti is about spotlighting international talent (mostly string musicians from their late teens to early 30s) and presenting those players in a broad and creative range of musical combinations and repertoire.

Is calling for women cardinals an act of clericalism?
In the past few months, there has been a lot of speculation and debate about the possibility of Pope Francis appointing the church's first female cardinal. Some have even tried to figure out what changes to church law would be needed to make it possible (removing ordination as a requirement for being a cardinal would be step one). The Vatican called the whole thing "nonsense." But what does Francis himself have to say?
Well, the Italian newspaper La Stampa asked the man himself in a new interview, resulting in the following exchange:
May I ask you if the Church will have women cardinals in the future?
"I don't know where this idea sprang from. Women in the Church must be valued not 'clericalised'. Whoever thinks of women as cardinals suffers a bit from clericalism."
Now that's an interesting take on the subject. I've heard people who want to have women as cardinals be accused of heresy, or just of wishful thinking, but never of clericalism.
I wonder, though, if it is also clericalism to assume cardinals must be ordained. Or is the act of clericalism assuming that top Vatican posts must be held by cardinals, or at least by priests and bishops? Is it clericalism to only allow cardinals a vote in choosing the pope? Is Francis only furthering the notion of clericalism by even naming cardinals in the first place?
I am not an advocate for women as cardinals, nor do I see it as a likely possibility in the near future. And I am with Francis on the idea of diminishing clericalism in the church and recognizing the value of lay women. But it is going to take a few changes in the hierarchy to convince Catholics that Francis is serious about deconstructing the clerical structure and giving significant voice to the laity, male and female alike.

2 Schools Could Get Physics Doctoral Programs
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Two South Dakota universities could be adding doctoral programs in physics to their curriculums in part to support work being done at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at Lead.
The state Board of Regents on Wednesday is to vote on adding the programs at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City and the University of South Dakota in Vermillion.
The Rapid City Journal reports that the programs would begin next fall if they're approved.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard's proposed budget for the Board of Regents includes nearly $2 million for the new doctoral programs. Both universities would add four physics faculty members and six graduate assistants.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The No. 14 Georgia College men's tennis squad (6-5, 1-5 PBC) hung tough with the No. 9 Columbus State University Cougars (15-1, 5-0 PBC), but eventually fell in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) contest 6-3 Sunday at the Centennial Center Tennis Facility.
The duo of Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden) and Leo Bernardes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) picked up a solid victory at the third doubles position taking down Adi Malicbegovic and Michael Trebuhov 9-7. Andersson and Bernardes are now 7-4 on the season.
The Cougars would grab the other two doubles matches from the Bobcats, as No. 6 Martin Shishkov and Oliver Simonet defeated No. 14 Jerome Leborgne (Coordimanche, France) and Johan Wadstein (Helsingborg, Sweden) 8-4 at the top position. Tyler Franks (Greensboro, Ga.) and Kasper Konyves (Helsingborg, Sweden) dropped their match to Gordan Diviljak and Quentin Rayniere 8-3 at the second slot.
Trailing 2-1 heading into the singles portion of the match, GC would grab the lead at 3-2 following victories from the top two spots. No. 13 Leborgne took down No. 25 Simonet in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, while Wadstein came back to defeat Diviljak 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Unfortunately, that would be all the Bobcats would pick up as they dropped the remainder of their singles matches.
Bernardes won the first set against Rayniere at the third singles position, but was unable to hold the lead losing 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Alex Schubert (Frankfurt, Germany) fell at the fifth singles position 6-4, 6-2 against Oussama Zoghlami.
Andersson would lose his perfect singles record on the year in a 6-3, 6-4 defeat at the hands of Sardelli at the final singles position, while Konyves also lost at the fourth position 6-1, 6-3 to Shishkov.
Wadstein now shares the team lead in wins at 7-4, and Leborgne improves to 6-5 on the season with the big singles victory.
The GC men will hit the road for spring break in Pensacola, Fla., beginning with a match against No. 7 University of West Florida Tuesday, March 27 at 2 p.m.

This month, Americans will welcome a new Congress and a new President to Washington, D.C. The 111th Congress and President Barack Obama will soon begin working on pragmatic solutions for our nation's future. Now more than ever, we must collaborate in a bipartisan manner to enact legislation that will have a lasting positive impact on our country and its citizens.
At this time of the year our thoughts turn toward gifts and giving. However, there is no greater gift than the gift of hope. In our community there was someone who lost their job months ago. With no income and no immediate family, they in turn lost their electric, their water and relying on wood for heat, they were down to just seven sticks of firewood.
New Year's Eve has never meant a huge celebration for my husband and me.
We were married on Dec. 28, and our second daughter was born Dec. 27. Between those occasions and Christmas, we have never been much in the mood to party on New Year's Eve. Still, for about 20 years when I was younger, I eagerly looked forward to Dec. 31, more than any other holiday.
General Manager
I'm terrible at keeping resolutions. But then, I imagine that most people are.
Like many people, I've made a variety of New Year's resolutions over the years. They've ranged from the standard resolutions to exercise more and lose weight to trying to get the dishes done at the end of each day.
I came close to making it this year — I somewhat silently resolved to exercise more. A couple of weeks later, I took the first step toward that and bought a mini-stair stepping machine.
December may be the mid-point of the school year, but for our public schools, colleges and universities, this particular month happens to be the start of a new era.
First, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education chose as its new president someone who spent the first half of this decade running the largest higher education system in the country: the State University of New York. Second, the Department of Education's commissioner announced he would be stepping down soon due to health reasons.
As we gather with friends and family to celebrate the holidays, I hope you will take a moment to reflect upon the joy and blessings in our lives. We are fortunate each day to enjoy the freedom, equality and justice that make the United States the greatest country in the world.
I would like to start off by thanking everyone who attended the annual Christmas in New Castle on Friday, Dec 5. I would like to thank all the parade participants, City of New Castle employees, New Castle Police Department, New Castle Fire Department, Prewitt's Funeral Home, Henry County Judge Exec Office, New Castle Renaissance Committee, Joe Berry, Homer Druin, Merrie Melodious Dulcimers, Morris Insurance Agency, Kentucky State Police Trooper Chip Perry, My Cottage Web Studio, Froggy 104.9, WHAS TV 11, New Castle Festival Committee members with their help in having anothe
Early this year, Kentucky got a sobering wake-up call when the Pew Center on the States said we had the nation's fastest-growing prison population in 2007. While most states saw their numbers rise by less than five percent from the previous year, ours went up 12 percent.
I could not believe it when I flipped the Henry County Local paper over and read the bold headline about the unfortunate death of a local businessman and friend.
I fully understand that the business of journalism relies on sensationalist headlines and scandal. But I'd like to take this small space to remind you of where it is you are trying to do business. Henry County is a (sometimes unfortunately) place where most people know the story long before this paper is printed. For you, it is sometimes difficult to realize your place here, but it was no more apparent than when I read your article concerning Michael Wells on the front page of the Dec. 17 paper.
Well, here we go again…a new year…a fresh start with more good intentions and the pledge to spend more time with the family, begin healthier habits, get organized or begin that "read the Bible in a year program." Don't worry, this is not another one of those motivational columns that promises to help you reach all those lofty goals you have set for yourself. This is, however, a column written by your community anti-drug coalition that is dedicated to strengthening the families of Henry County.
For several years now, I've had the distinct pleasure of helping type Santa letters.
And I don't say that tongue in cheek — I do enjoy them. Though some can be hard to read, and typing the letters exactly as the children have written them can be tough, more often than not they are entertaining and in some cases quite touching.
Several years ago, I remember when the Pokeman craze hit — there were about as many spelling options for Pokeman as you can imagine — and none of them quite right.
It was with dismay that this week's Local had a front page headline about the death of a Henry County man. Death anytime is so sad, but at this time of year, it is worse. The family will never celebrate another Christmas season without remembering the loss of that loved one, and it will be a bittersweet memory for them.
In December of 1970 when our first child was a baby, my husband and I lived in a tiny house overlooking miles of prairie near Auburn, Kansas. Given my fascination with pioneers, I decided that, like Kansans of long ago, we should use a tumbleweed for a Christmas tree. I was excited to relive this tradition, and so we bundled up our baby and hiked onto a pasture in search of a suitable tumbleweed from among the many that piled up on the barbed wire fences along the north side.
Need information
I am writing in hopes that someone in the county can help me locate some information. I am looking for any information on a Charles Dorman Powell.
He married an Ann Coghill of New Castle in the mid to late 1940s. I know he had a sister by the name of Barbara and one, maybe two brothers. I am also looking for any information on a William or Albert Rudd that lived/owned farms on Fallen Timber Road in the 50's.
Bethlehem Postmaster
In this fast paced, hurry up and get it done kind of world we live in, you can do just about anything without having to acknowledge another human being. Humor me, if you will, as I demonstrate a typical scenario:
10th anniversary of tobacco settlement passed with little fanfare
It didn't receive a lot of fanfare, but late last month marked the 10th anniversary of the $206 billion dollar settlement between the states and the major tobacco companies.
As many of you may know, Kentucky chose an innovative path for its portion of the money. In 2000, the General Assembly set aside half for agriculture and half for programs to help our youngest and sickest citizens.
Early this month, the National Bureau of Economic Research confirmed what many of us have long suspected: That we are officially in a recession, and have been for a year.
There is no doubt that it has been a tough time for our economy, but that doesn't mean the news has been bad for every sector. One of the brightest spots, in fact, has been our community banks.
5th Quarter is a great activity if you enjoy hanging out with your friends, meeting new friends, eating pizza, and being encouraged to do better. I've attended most of the 5th Quarter gatherings in the past and found them to be a good way to have fun with my friends following a Friday night home basketball game. There were several activities for Henry County and Eminence high school students to participate in. Those of us who enjoy playing basketball would divide up into teams and play against one another. Others who were not into playing basketball took
I have lived in this community for many years and have seen how people here pull together to help their neighbors and friends in times of need. I have also been witness to strangers taking time out of their day to lend a hand where a hand is needed. Henry Countians are blessed to be part of such a giving community. There are so many organizations, churches, and county services that are designed to help anyone in need. Tri-County Community Action Agency is one of those organizations designed to help individuals in need of assistance and we also service senior citizens in the county.

Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein
Margaret "Gretl" Stonborough-Wittgenstein (September 19, 1882 – September 27, 1958), of the prominent and wealthy Viennese Wittgenstein family, was a sister of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the pianist Paul Wittgenstein.[1] She was the subject of a famous 1905 portrait painted for her wedding by the artist Gustav Klimt (Stonborough-Wittgenstein and other members of the Wittgenstein family were among Klimt's most important patrons), which was sold in 1960 by her son Thomas and may now be seen in the Neue Pinakothek gallery in Munich.[2]
On 7 January 1905, she married a wealthy American, Jerome Stonborough (1873 - June 1938, suicide). Of German Jewish ancestry and born Jerome Herman Steinberger, he had had his name changed to Stonborough in 1900. He was also an art collector. They were close friends with Hermann Rothe, Margaret was the godmother of his daughter Margarethe. The couple had two sons and divorced in 1938; Jerome committed suicide shortly thereafter.
- Dr. Thomas Humphrey Stonborough (1906-?). His Swiss friend Marguerite Respinger (1904-2000), whom he had met when he was studying in Cambridge and had invited to Vienna, was briefly (1926-1931) the only known female interest of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In 1939, Thomas Stonborough married Elizabeth Churchill, but they soon divorced (she was to remarry Washington Evening Star columnist Constantine Brown, and became a journalist and anti-communist activist under the name of Elizabeth Churchill Brown).
- Major John Jerome Stonborough (11 June 1912, Vienna - 29 April 2002, Ferndown, Dorset). Although a US citizen, he served in the Canadian army during Second World War as an intelligence officer and interpreter. He married the daughter of a distinguished Northumberland family, Veronica Morrison-Bell (daughter of Sir Claude William Hedley Morrison-Bell, 2nd Baronet), and after the war lived between Britain and Austria.
After the First World War, Stonborough-Wittgenstein was appointed by the American Relief Administrator Herbert Hoover (later president of the United States) as special representative of the American Relief Program for Austria. When working in juvenile prisons as a psychotherapy adviser, she came into contact with Sigmund Freud and was analyzed by him over the course of two years. They remained in contact until Freud's death.[3]
In 1926, she commissioned her brother Ludwig and the architect Paul Engelmann to design and build Haus Wittgenstein in Vienna. Sold by her son Thomas in 1968, this noted building still stands today, and now houses the Bulgarian Cultural Institute. In 1940, she emigrated to the USA, but returned to Austria after the war and obtained restitution of part of her wealth which had been confiscated by the Nazis.

Philadelphia Information Locator Service
Agency Information
The Philadelphia War History Committee[Record group 60-118-2]
Agency Function
- This committee has ceased to function.
- Agency History
- On 22 September 1919, Mayor Thomas B. Smith appointed the Philadelphia War History Committee to compile a history of Philadelphia's involvement in the recent World War (I). Mayor Smith had appointed two committees in 1916-1917 to help Philadelphia's soldiers. The first, appointed on 18 June 1916, was the Citizens' Soldiers Aid Committee, which raised money to assist the families of the Philadelphia regiments of the National Guard called into active service along the Mexican frontier. This committee terminated its functions at the end of 1916. On 20 March 1917, Mayor Smith appointed the Philadelphia Home Defense Committee which initially aided a naval recruiting campaign in the Philadelphia area but generally coordinated all efforts to assist the war preparations and the families of those in the armed forces. The Philadelphia Home Defense Committee soon passed into history, supplanted by the state Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety, but at least two of the sub-committees continued to work throughout the remainder of the war. The first, the Philadelphia Home Defense Reserve, created a military reserve of 2500 men which helped keep peace in the city throughout the war. The second, the Personal Service Bureau, aided the soldier and his family to adjust themselves to war conditions, help maintain communications between them, and offer a general helping hand to service men from other cities located temporarily in Philadelphia.
After the termination of hostilities, the chairman of the Philadelphia Branch of the Council of National Defense, suggested the appointment of the Philadelphia War History Committee while the materials for a book were still freshly available. This book, entitled Philadelphia in the World War 1914-1919, was published in 1922. Detailed histories of the two Mayor's war committees are included although the records of these organizations appear to have passed into history.

Sorry, sir, don't want to squeeze yer,
It's a jolly tight fit on this tram
Ter git on at all was a teaser,
It's the race meeting causes this jamb
Am I goin' miself, sir? Why rather,
I'm straight away ter the course
I in'erits the feelin' from father,
That feelin' of love of a 'orse.
Of course you're a parson, sir, ain't yer
And thinks as 'orse racin' ain't right
P'raps yer thinks ter sit next ter me'll taint right
But it ain't - 'arf a mo - got a light?
Thankee, sir, No, it ain't fair, sir,
To call us racin' boys wrong
I'll tell yer a tale if yer care, sir,
Will yer listen? it ain't very long.
"I was groom at the time of this story,
Groom to old Squire 'Ackerday
'E'd raced till 'is old 'ead was 'oary,
And still 'ad 'is plunge Derby Day
At the time of which I'm now relatin',
'E 'ad a fine mare bein' trained
(An' ter you, sir, I don't mind a statin',
'Is finances was just a bit strained).
She was entered for sev'ral big races
And this time was the eve of the chief
In the mornin' she'd shewn us 'er paces
An' 'er quickness was nigh past belief
It was just two-er-clock in the mornin'
No, it wasn't, 'twas three - I'm a liar
At any rate, day was just dawnin',
When up went the great cry of 'Fire'.
Big flames was a-lickin' the stables
But I rushed through them all in a flash
For the mare was in one of them stables
And I brought down the door wiv a crash
The smoke and the flames, sir, was shockin'
But I managed ter collar our Kate
Our Kate wiv the pretty white stockin'
Thank 'eaven I wasn't too late.
The smoke 'ad been thick - that's a fact, sir
And I gasped as I reached the fresh air
I'd risked my young life by the act, sir,
But I'd saved the Squire's thoroughbred mare
So don't say all racin' men's wrong, sir,
Yer can easy find blokes as is worse
Well, I gets down just 'ere, sir. So long, sir."
"Now let's see what we've got in 'is purse!"

I just spoke with a customer that was trying to decide on some different fabrics. For her, seeing the fabric made all the difference.
Our website is very helpful and you can many times place your order without seeing the actual fabric/product beforehand. However, so many times being able to see the actual fabric ultimately drives your purchasing decision.
For that reason, we highly recommend you order fabric swatches from us prior to placing your order. You'll see the area to order fabric swatches on every single product page on our website. So, if it is a page where you can add a bumper, sheet, or some other product to your shopping cart–you can also order the swatches.

Circle of March, Louisville Edition (Animated)Posted by rtmsf on April 11th, 2013
The finality of it all hits sometime around Wednesday evening after the National Championship game. What, no college hoops to look forward to this weekend? Just NBA Draft announcements and the coaching carousel from now until the first heat of summer? That's right. On March 5, we began our annual foray into the Circle of March with 310 teams pursusing a shot at the title. After 35 days of fascinating and compelling elimination basketball, we were left with only one outfit still standing. The Louisville Cardinals are your 2013 National Champions, a group as deserving as they are engaging. It's time for the CoM to retire for another year…

The sun moves, shadows change; there is only a short period of time that an artist has to capture the shifts of light and color when painting outdoors - but it is this very desire to distill the energy and freshness of nature that drives the plein air painter. Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters was formed to bring together artists who share this passion.

It was 3 years before the Army was able to locate the oldest living blood relative. F/O Willis F. Evers' remains were escorted and guarded 24 hours a day until he was laid to rest with full military honors, including a fly over.
There are so many ways to share our family history - from blogging to verbal story telling. I happen to enjoy producing family history slide shows, not only of my own family but also for other individuals as well. I have taken portions of the story I wrote in 2009 and completed a slide show of the events that took place in my Uncle Willis' life and the events that took place on September 15, 1989. This slide show has been prepared in a story telling format - I hope you will enjoy it.
This slide show has also been entered in a Photodex contest on Facebook for family reunions. Voting begins August 1st through the 8th - if you are a Facebook member and are so inclined I certainly would appreciate your vote.
Please enjoy my presentation of - "Unexpected Reunion - Home at Last"!

Richard D. Land (born 1946) is the president of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), the public policy entity of the Southern Baptist Convention in the United States, a post he has held since 1988. He is also the host of For Faith & Family and For Faith & Family's Insight, two nationally syndicated radio programs. He was the primary author of the Land letter, an open letter sent to President George W. Bush by leaders of the religious right in October 2002 which outlined a "just war" argument in support of the subsequent military invasion of Iraq.
In 2001, President Bush appointed Land to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), a federal agency, created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1988, for the purpose of monitoring the freedom of conscience, thought and religion or belief abroad. President Bush reappointed Dr. Land for a second term in June 2004. He was subsequently appointed by then Majority Leader Bill Frist in July 2005. Land continues his service to the Commission.
Land appeared prominently in the PBS Frontline documentary The Jesus Factor, covering the Evangelical Christian views of President George W. Bush. Land often appears on news programs to discuss Christian matters. Land also appeared in the movie Article VI, in which he discusses religion in politics.

Amazing product. Great fun for anyone. When i first got it everyone wanted a go and now most of my friends have bought one. It even plays music!! Great value for money. I took it to center parks and had a great time using it in the sun :)
This product was an excellent purchase . I have been really pleased with it especially considering all the negative hysteria in the press around hover boards . My 12 year old daughter loves it and is constantly using it. The board was delivered fast and my daughters friends with boards like the feel and balance of hers the best . All very positive thanks for a good service .
Love the Hover Smart. It's keeping my daughter busy, making all sorts of video's for her friends to watch and comment. She's one happy bunny. Best purchase in a long time.
Easy to get used to and is very smooth, I have gargantuan fun with this amazing hoverboard. I also want to say how brilliant the L.E.D lights are at the front of the board and it plays music too. Thrilled :)
The HoverSmart arrived when the company said it would. It has been a big success with both me, my mates and my little brother who seem to think it's his. I would recommend this company for reliability and price. A+++++
Excellent service from the start. Delivered in specified time in perfect condition. This was sons Birthday present and he loves it. He is 10 and gained confidence quite quickly in using the board.

First American Financial Corp. was known as Orange County Title Co. and had only one office when Donald P. Kennedy, fresh out of law school, joined the family firm in 1948.
When Kennedy began leading its expansion beyond the county lines in 1957, the title insurance company had annual sales of less than $1.5 million.
By 2006, First American was one of the world's largest title insurers and was developing vast databases that helped transform the real estate industry. It had hundreds of offices in the United States and abroad and revenue topping $8 billion — an expansion attributed to Kennedy, who died Saturday at his home in Santa Ana after three years of declining health. He was 93.
"He saw the opportunity for growth and worked tirelessly," said Parker Kennedy, Donald Kennedy's son and successor as chairman of the Santa Ana firm. "The company couldn't have had a better leader."
While building First American, the elder Kennedy, along with his wife, Dorothy, also helped build dozens of community organizations.
A past chairman of the Orange County Business Committee for the Arts, Kennedy was a board member of South Coast Repertory and the Athletic Board at Stanford University. He was a keen supporter of the athletic and law programs at Chapman University in Orange, where the law school named a hall after him.
As board chairman at the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art in Santa Ana, he was instrumental in negotiating partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution and the British Museum, greatly expanding the museum's offerings to the public. His support for a major addition — the Dorothy and Donald Kennedy Wing — tripled the Bowers' exhibit space.
Donald Parker Kennedy was the grandson of Charles Edward Parker, who formed the company in 1894. Born Oct. 16, 1918, in San Jacinto, Calif., Kennedy attended Santa Ana High School and Stanford University, where he played on the 1939 golf team that won an NCAA Division 1 championship and earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1940.
After serving in the Navy during World War II, he returned to study law at USC before delving into the business of tracking property sales and assuring buyers that transactions weren't clouded.
Shrewd and engaging, Kennedy gave his managers broad leeway in how they operated. That was important because real estate practices varied from region to region and the customer could be an attorney, real estate broker or lender depending on the location, his son said. It was far less expensive than micro-managing, more effective, and it also bred loyalty.
"He would pick a solid person, put them in charge somewhere and say, 'You figure out how to get business — make a good profit and I'll reward you,' " Parker Kennedy said. "And it worked."
The elder Kennedy was named chairman emeritus of First American in 2003 but remained on its board until 2008, going to the office consistently until he was 90.
First American Financial Corp. split into separate public companies in 2010: First American Corp., which handles the original escrow and title business, and CoreLogic Inc., a real estate and consumer data provider. The companies' combined stock-market value exceeds $3.4 billion.
Kennedy's easygoing manner and ready humor benefited him at work and play, including on the golf course, where he recorded nine holes in one during a life devoted to the game.
Frank "Sandy" Tatum played alongside Kennedy on Stanford's 1939 championship team, won the NCAA individual championship in 1942, and became a prominent attorney and president of the U.S. Golf Assn.
Kennedy "could do anything he set his mind to, and golf was one of those things," said Tatum, 90, who played golf several times a year with his lifelong friend until they were well into their 80s.
Besides his son and his wife of 65 years, Kennedy is survived by two daughters, Elizabeth Myers and Amy Healey; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Services are pending.
