In the sense that anyone who makes a DSL does so within a subset of a fully-featured programming language, of course, this is obvious.
But if you're just looking at that end of the truth, you don't see the interesting part.
The interesting part is that English can express anything a programming language can express, but English was also designed to accomodate ambiguities and nuances that are useful when speaking to people, but not useful when proscribing actions for Turing machines.
Programming languages are subsets of English specific to the domain of Turing machines.
(They aren't inherently subsets of English - that's an incidental attribute, rather than an inherent one - but all the programming languages I'm aware of are subsets of English, even my current favorite, which comes from Japan.)
This may only be interesting to linguists, but it explains certain mysterious phenomena linking poetry to programming languages.

Stories about my ancestors and my journey searching for them. I want my grandchildren to know my grandparents!

Tracking Mental Illness in a Family
I have probably done the most genealogical research on my Adamson family. From the beginning, I noticed that an 1850 census for William Adamson in Crittenden County KY included his his twenty year old son, James Adamson, as "Idiotic" and living with him. Years later in my research, I found that William's son, Aaron Adamson was listed in the 1850 Harrison County IN census living with his aunt. He was listed as "Insane". I found it is quite striking that two of William Adamson's sons are labeled with mental illness in census readings.
Aaron Adamson's son, Moses Thompson Adamson, was my great-grandfather. He was described by my grandfather as lazy, never working a day in his life, etc. Apparently after his service in the War of the Rebellion, he never held a job. He lived to age 79. One of his obituaries ended with this line: "His experiences in prison affected his health throughout his life.". Another obit read: "On December 31, 1862, he was taken prisoner at Stone River, and months of confinement in prison affected his health from which he suffered throughout his life.". It seems that the family felt compelled to try to explain him and his behaviors.
When I got his pension papers from the National Archives, I began going through them very carefully. He clearly had times where his mental difficulties were exacerbated. As I kept studying his life, I noticed that whenever a child of his died, his symptoms appeared to worsen.
Looking over the extent of his life, Moses' father died around 1850 when Moses was 12 years old. It appears that shortly around that time, two of Moses' younger sisters also died. I haven't found any trace of Moses from 1850 until he enlisted in the War at age 23 in 1861. In December of 1862, he was taken prisoner and spent time in a POW prison. Upon release from prison, he began to complain of severe head pain, and was diagnosed with disease of the brain. While he was home on furlough in April of 1863, he married Lydia Ann Bullard (see picture), and then returned to his unit. In September of 1863, he was wounded in his hand at the Battle of Chickamauga. One of his cousins, William Adamson, was killed there the same day. One can only imagine what that whole battle scene must have been like. It appears that Moses was hospitalized from Sept. 1863 until he was discharged in October 1864. It seems unlikely that he would have been hospitalized for over a year for a hand wound, so I wonder if his stay was related to his mental health. Just speculation.
After his discharge from the Army, Moses returned home to Olney, Illinois and remained there until his death in 1917. His first child, a son, Robert Aaron Adamson,was born in August 1864, just 2 months before Moses was discharged from the service.
Moses and Lydia Adamson went on to have a total of 12 children. Shortly after Moses and Lydia's youngest child died, they took in a toddler and raised her also. By this time, Moses and Lydia were close to sixty years old. Sadly, eight of their twelve children died young.
1865-son Robert Aaron died at 8 months old
1878-son Riley C. died at 4 months old
1881-daughter Lydia Maud died at 12 months old
1884-daughter Bertha L. died at age 14
1884-son John died at about 20 months old
1888-daughter Mary Ann died at age 20
1893-daughter Margaret died at age 18
1896-son Homer died at age 9
It seems that Moses had great difficulty dealing with each death. Certainly the War would have made that struggle worse, but millions of men were able to come through the War experiences and go on to live productive lives. Moses just didn't seem to have it in him. Pension records indicate that the family was never able to leave Moses home alone. After I learned that Moses' father, Aaron Adamson, had been listed as "Insane" it certainly led me to consider a genetic factor playing out in Moses.
Of the four surviving children of Moses and Lydia Adamson, I have not learned of any instances of mental illness, so the gene may have played out, or perhaps was given to some of the eight children who did not survive. Of course, I only really know of my grandfather (son of Moses and Lydia) and his children. I need to try to connect with descendants of my grandfather's siblings to further this research. So far no madness has presented!
Interestingly, from my research in the Adamson family, I have found some other instances closely related to Aaron Adamson's family of origin. As I said earlier, two of William Adamson's sons were listed in census readings with mental illness. Another of his sons, Robert Adamson, had a son (Robert Ellsworth Adamson) who was declared Insane and was committed to the Illinois State Hospital for the Insane in 1894. Robert had another son, Andrew Jackson Adamson, who also appeared to be quite unstable.
It would be so interesting to be able to learn more about the children of William Adamson. He had 11 children (that I know of), but not a lot is known about most of them. Who knows what madness lurked among the family all those years ago?

This is a fascinating piece of detective work! I have also tried to ascertain where a certain tendency to depression in one of my family lines may have come from; there are some hints there, but nothing concrete, yet.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading the blog, Greta! I appreciate your comments! It is really interesting to try to track the different areas of life in our past!ReplyDelete
I find this entry very interesting. I have a MSW and was a clinical social worker with specilaized training in trauma in children. Now retired and able to aim energies towards my family I have struggled with the instances in my own family with how best to enter that info in my tree files. Look forward to reading more.

Now a days
They trying to make me feel guilty for being a grown ass man
Well here's what I got to say to that shit
[Verse 1: Soul Khan]
Now peep the opening shot, I'm like Stallone when he stopped
And turned his hat backwards back in Over the Top
I ain't the greatest alive, but I'm the closest you got
So set's have a toast, Jack and Coke on the rocks
These cabbage patch kids want to play with the grown ups
I got a hernia from how they hanging on Soul's nuts
I gotta get mine, ain't no way I'm a hold up
My cake will get swoll up like Raven Simone's gut
I'll body anybody, bring your roster on
Homie, your arms are too short to box with Khan
I'm a Congo gorilla in gentleman's clothes
Stepping on toes, no matter the status or spot they on
[Hook x2]
That's why I get love from the DJ Booth
Real shit always comes from the DJ Booth
Soul Khan and Brown Bag run the DJ Booth
So think twice before you even touch the DJ Booth
[Verse 2: Soul Khan]
This ain't rapping, this is Soul Hop
Your pretty boy swag is sounding pretty post-op
Bitch, you'd give you a blowjob
To any photog-rapher that could get you on a known blog
I'm irreplaceable cause of my way with words
Yes, a Raging Bull among the grazing herd
Beef? We're cow tipping, so leave or now
It's a different ball game and we using brains for nerf
And you'll never find my dick in no Kat Stacks pigeon
I'd rather take a shit with my ass crack missin
I spit it for Richard Pryor, I spit it for Red Fox
I don't spit for white women with dreadlocks
Can't talk about my shoes, that's a waste of a spin
I'd prefer to paint a picture of the places they've been
From Holland to Harlem, cheerin', When they see that I'm appearin'
Shit, even the hard of hearing caught my name on the wind
[Hook x2]
[Outro: Soul Khan]
Shout out to DJBooth.net
DJ Z, Jenny Hendrix, Joe Rogan
The homie Scarface, Chamillionaire what up?

Lawson 'excited' to join Rockets | Hawks to retire Mutombo's number | Rubio hopes to stay in Minnesota | Jack ready to lead Nets
No. 1: Lawson 'excited' to join Rockets — The Houston Rockets advanced to the Western Conference finals last season, and as part of their efforts to strengthen their squad for the coming season, they traded for former Denver point guard Ty Lawson, who had been charged with two driving violations and would seem to benefit from a change of scenery. As Lawson told Fox 26 in Houston, he's looking forward to playing for Houston coach Kevin McHale and feels he can help push the Rockets to the next level…
Guard Ty Lawson, acquired by the Houston Rockets in a trade with the Denver Nuggets in July, is already building a relationship with head coach Kevin McHale.
The two had dinner while Lawson was in Houston last week.
"Kevin McHale, he's a cool coach," Lawson said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "I sat down and had dinner with him, probably like a week ago.
"He just keeps everything real. He's played before, so he knows what we're going through. He makes everything straight forward, no grey areas. It was fun. We talked about everything, not just basketball, just life. He even had some stories when he used to play. It was a fun dinner.
"So I'm excited to play for him."
Lawson believes the trade to the Rockets will be good for his career.
"It's a huge chance," Lawson said. "(The Rockets) went to the Western Conference Finals and could have won, but you just needed a couple of extra pieces. So I'm excited to be playing in a situation where I know I have a chance to win."
Lawson recently completed a 30-day program for alcohol rehabilitation after getting two DUIs in a seven-month span.
Rockets guard James Harden said at his basketball camp last month he spent some time with Lawson in California, and has no concerns about Ty's off-the-court issues.
"He's more focused that ever," Harden told reporters in August."
Lawson agreed.
"Definitely, I've been through a couple of things, going through it," Lawson said. "He used to hang out with me. He knows the person I am. I feel like he has no worries about me or my game. So I'm just ready."
Lawson looks forward to playing with Harden, especially because they are close friends and considers the move to Houston as a breath of fresh air.
"Oh yeah for sure," Lawson said. "I was like before I even came to the team I was talking to James. I was like 'man get me over there.' I'll be that piece to (help) get over the hump. It's definitely a breath of fresh air."
No. 2: Hawks to retire Mutombo's number — During a ceremony yesterday to announce "Dikembe Mutombo Day" in Atlanta, the Hawks surprised their former center by announcing their plans to retire Mutombo's number 55. As Chris Vivlamore writes in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Mutombo was caught off guard by the announcement, but couldn't have been happier…
Dikembe Mutombo was at a loss for words.
The former center and soon to be Hall of Famer will have his No. 55 retired by the Hawks. The announcement was made by Hawks CEO Steve Koonin during a ceremony in Fulton County Tuesday declaring Sept. 1, 2015 as Dikembe Mutombo Day. The news came as a complete surprise to Mutombo.
Mutomobo's No. 55 will be raised to the Philips Arena rafters on Nov. 24 during a nationally televised game against the Celtics.
"The most surprising, as you can see from the tears in my eyes, is the announcement that was made (that my jersey will be retired)," Mutombo said. "It's the most shocking to me. … I didn't know the Hawks were going to retire my jersey. I can't believe it. It's going to be a great day."
Mutombo played from 1996-2001 as part of an 18-year NBA career. He will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next week.
"When you look at the history of the Hawks and you see a player who made such a positive contribution, who is going to be Hall of Famer and who resides in Atlanta, it was two simple (phone) calls," Koonin said. "One to (general manager) Wes (Wilcox) and one to Bud (president of basketball operations/head coach Mike Budenholzer) saying what you think? They couldn't have been more enthusiastic."
Mutombo will have the fourth jersey number retired by the franchise joining No. 9 of Bob Pettit, No. 21 of Dominique Wilkins and No. 23 of Lou Hudson.
Mutombo was an eight-time All-Star and four-time Defensive Player of the Year during his NBA tenure. He is the league's second leading shot blocker and is 19th in rebounds. He was a two-time winner of the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award by the league for his many humanitarian efforts.
No. 3: Rubio hopes to stay in Minnesota — At four seasons in and at 24 years old, Ricky Rubio is still in the early stages of his NBA career. But the NBA rumor mill never stops, and this summer, with the Wolves still rebuilding, Rubio's name has popped up a few times as a player being targeted by other franchises. While in Dubai at a basketball camp this week, Rubio spoke to Gulf News and said if it's up to him, he plans to stick around in Minnesota…
But Rubio, in Dubai to add star power to the BasicBall Academy summer camps at the Dubai World Trade Centre, denied he was about to move to the Big Apple or anywhere else.
He told Gulf News he believes he will stay with his first and so far only NBA team.
"I have confidence that the team wants me but you know in this league anybody can get traded," said the flashy playmaker. "You don't listen to the rumours. You just live day-by-day and that's it."
When asked if he wanted to stay with the long-suffering Timberwolves, Rubio gave a firm: "Yes."
And why wouldn't he? It is an exciting time to be a Minnesota Timberwolf — even after a 16-win season in which they failed to make the NBA play-offs for the 11th straight time, the longest streak in the league.
The reasons for optimism include a pair of youngsters for whom the NBA sky is the limit at this stage of their fledgling careers.
Reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins, 20, is coming off a superb debut campaign, in which he showed in flashes why he was once considered North America's best high-school prospect since LeBron James. The 6ft 8in Canadian displayed the skill and athleticism to suggest he could soon become one of the league's best wing defenders, as well as one of its most versatile scorers.
Next season, Wiggins will be joined by skilled seven-footer Karl-Anthony Towns, the first pick in July's NBA Draft and a potential future star.
And Rubio, himself still only 24, said he can't wait to take the court with the emerging duo.
"They have a lot of talent," said the 6ft 4in guard. "I have a little bit more experience than them that I can share. I really can teach them what I learned. They have a great future and I can help them achieve their goals.
"I like to have athletic players next to me, the way I play. It suits my game.
"[Wiggins] can be as good as he wants. He has a lot of talent. What surprised me about last season is the quickness of how he adapted to the league. He was fearless about the big stage, to play against LeBron James and the bigger names. There are a lot of ways he can score. It is hard to stop him. If you stop one of the ways he scores, he can score in other ways.
"I have seen [Towns] working out this summer in Minnesota. I can tell he is a great player and not just like a big centre, he can really shoot the ball, he can play in the pick-and-pop and he is really going to surprise some people.
"We have a lot of young talent with a big future but we have got to start doing it because it has been a building process for the last couple of years. We have to start putting it on paper and start winning games."
No. 4: Jack ready to lead Nets — The NBA is a point guard-heavy league right now, which means if you don't have an elite point guard, you're going to, at the very least, struggle night after night against some of the league's top talent. This summer, the Brooklyn Nets bought out former All-Star point guard Deron Williams, and next season will hand over the reins to… Jarrett Jack? Jack certainly believes he's the man for the job, as he explained to the New York Post's Tim Bontemps …
Though Jack is more than confident he will be able to prove his detractors wrong, he's also aware that no matter what he says now, those questions won't be answered until the regular season begins.
"It does [motivate me], but it's not like I've got the article pinned up on my wall," Jack said Tuesday after an appearance at a Nets basketball camp in Southampton. "But my thing is that all you can do is show and prove … wait for the opportunities and then take advantage of it, and just help your team win. That's the only way you're going to get people to realize it.
"When the season comes and I have my opportunities to go out there and show them that I believe different … that's the response. You don't have to respond to it, because your play is going to be the response to whatever they think."
For a Nets team that will enter this season full of questions, the one surrounding its point-guard play — and whether the trio of floor generals it has assembled will be good enough to get it back into the playoffs — is as important as any outside of the health of Brook Lopez.
There were few tears shed when Deron Williams was bought out of the final two years of his contract this summer, allowing him to return home to Dallas. Though Williams' personality won't be missed, he was productive last season, averaging 13.0 points, 6.6 assists and shooting 36.7 percent from 3-point range.
Jack, on the other hand, had the worst plus-minus of any player on an NBA playoff team, with the Nets being outscored by 7.8 points per 100 possessions when he played, compared to outscoring their opponents by three points per 100 possessions when he sat.
"You never want that attached to your name," Jack said. "It's something I have to improve on. … Hopefully this year I can reverse it."
The Nets are banking on it, as well as the fact that Jack, who went to Las Vegas last month with Joe Johnson to organize a team workout while the Nets were playing there during the NBA's annual summer league — will help lead a group that will have better chemistry and cohesion this season with the lingering questions about Williams now behind them.
Jack simply sees it as an opportunity to prove he's a full-time starter in the NBA, something he hasn't done since starting 39 of 45 games for New Orleans in the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season.
"I'm definitely excited," Jack said. "I'm super excited for training camp to get here, and these daily tests I'm going to have to show people what I can do."

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
Reinhold Niebuhr
You could quote this to your kid, if they care to listen, or you could give them Friends with Boys, written and illustrated wonderfully by Faith Erin Hicks, and they might understand the concept.
This is a graphic novel that is funny with lively characters. My two teens and I agreed we'd love to hang out with this group; they are distinct and real. The plot centers on a young girl, Maggie, who is starting high school after being homeschooled her entire life. She is the last of four kids in her family to finish homeschooling and enter public school. Apparently, their mother abandoned them as soon as her "work" was done. The memory of the four kids' mom is still around, and metaphorically portrayed in a ghost from a local graveyard that haunts Maggie throughout the book.
But it's not a supernatural story. I recently read Anya's Ghost, which didn't do it for me, and I was worried this book would be a similar. However, Friends With Boys is more about finding your group: whether it's your twin brother, a sweet punk, or the drama crowd. The ghost plays a part in Maggie's story, but isn't a main character.
Maggie loves her three older brothers, but comes to realize their social circle goes beyond family, and she needs her own people too. School is overwhelming, but with her hand-drawn maps, advice from older siblings, and two other school kids looking for an "awesome rebel social group," she gets the hang of it.
Yes, homeschooling is used as a "new kid" plot device, but it's handled in a sensitive way. Maggie and her brothers are not freaks, and don't stand out in a crowd. They have a relaxed home life, and a cool dad that has to cut his long hair for the first time because he's been promoted in his police work. As a homeschooling family, I resent the implication that homeschoolers are so isolated, and school is the only way Maggie can meet friends beyond her family, but at least she's not portrayed as a complete social loser, like many other homeschool-to-school books.
We all really liked the artwork. I love when a creator can use the format of a graphic novel to it's full extent- telling a story in a way words could not. Facial expressions are priceless in many panels. My son's favorite is the Alien movie scene where there are several non-speaking panels with the reactions (and non-reactions) of three characters watching the movie. Hilarious.
But Hicks is talented with language as well. Beyond the natural dialogue, she has a good sense of humor even with narrating: "Seventy two minutes of zombie swordfighting musical theater later…"
The book moves along at a comfortable pace, with introspective Maggie thinking about her missing mom, school, friends, her dad, brothers, love interest, while having misadventures to get rid of that melancholy ghost following her around.
I received this book from the publisher. Junior High and up will enjoy* Friends With Boys*. I don't know if my kids got the message I did from this sweet and funny graphic novel, but it gets a three thumbs up.

Phillip Lim's resort 2013 collection has only been in stores a few weeks, but according to FabSugar, at least one piece is already practically sold out: These $1,400 leather overalls!
You know we're fans of overalls around here--especially the lovely Laurel!--and that we've had our eye on these babies since they were first presented back in June. As commenter Gldnwings1306 put it, "Overalls! I said never again after middle school but these look so sophisticated and much less farmer's daughter." We're wondering what you make of this ultra-luxe version. Can you believe so many women are dying to get their hands on 'em? Would you wear a pair? Discuss!

Erin Cummings ("Detroit 1-8-7") Begins Her Guest Starring Role as the Mysterious Ginny
Fans of ABC's popular drama series "Pan Am" will be able to submit questions and receive real-time responses from Erin Cummings, who plays Ginny Saddler. She will be up on Twitter at @ErinLCummings during both the East and West Coast broadcasts of the show on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23 from 10:01-11:00 p.m., ET/PT. She will also offer commentary on the exciting action taking place, as well as behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
On Sunday's episode, "One Coin in a Fountain," the Pan Am crew rolls the dice in more ways than one in glamorous Monte Carlo: Kate and Maggie square off for the attentions of a handsome passenger (guest star Goran Visnjic, "ER," "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"), but things get more complicated when Kate learns the sexy stranger is involved in her next covert mission; and Dean gambles with his career when an attractive, wealthy woman (guest star Erin Cummings, "Detroit 1-8-7") on the flight tempts him -- and he later discovers who her flying companion is.
Passion, adventure and espionage... They experienced it all - and they experienced it at 30,000 feet. The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in, "Pan Am." Welcome to the Jet Age. It's 1963. The world is poised on the brink of a cultural revolution, and everywhere change is in the air. In this modern world, air travel represents the height of luxury, and Pan Am is the biggest name in the business. The planes are sleek and glamorous, the pilots are rock stars, and the stewardesses are the most desirable women in the world. Not only are these flyboys and girls young and good looking, but to represent Pan Am they also have to be educated, cultured and refined. They're trained to handle everything from in-air emergencies to unwanted advances - all without rumpling their pristine uniforms or mussing their hair. These pre-feminist women form a powerful sisterhood, as they enjoy the rare opportunity to travel outside the country -- something most women in this age can only aspire to - and one of the few career options that offers them empowerment and respect.
"Pan Am" stars Christina Ricci as Maggie, Margot Robbie as Laura, Michael Mosley as Ted, Mike Vogel as Dean, Karine Vanasse as Colette, and Kelli Garner as Kate. Series creator Jack Orman, Thomas Schlamme and Nancy Hult Ganis are executive producers. "Pan Am" is produced by Jack Orman Productions, Out of the Blue Entertainment and Shoe Money Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.

That's where Chipotle comes in. Chipotle is basically semi-fast food, but you get to watch as they put your food together and you can specify "just a little salsa," or whatever. Plus, they are super vegan friendly. They have brown rice. The guacamole is free when you get a veggie burrito. Friends, for real. And, just recently, they introduced a super awesome new vegan option in Northern California: Tofu Sofritas. It's a spicy crumbled tofu pan-fried with roasted poblano peppers, and it is GOOD. I was so happy when I finally got to try it, and now I think I've already had it 3 times (important note: guacamole is not free with the sofritas option, only with the beans-and-rice option).
I always get the burrito bowl - which is like all the burrito stuff without the tortilla - and I always ask for extra peppers and onions. Plus, if you are counting calories like I am, you can even look up all their nutrient stuff online here. I didn't see the Sofritas info online yet, so I emailed the company and got a response the very same day! What! I was really impressed.
Here's what they sent:

PG National Showcase is an opportunity for high school players to
show their talents in front of hundreds of college and professional
scouts. On Saturday, LHP Robert Kaminsky (2013, St. Joseph Regional
HS, Englewood Cliffs, NJ) did that and then some.
struck out the side in the first inning of Game 10 as he worked in
the 89-92 mph range, touching 94. And then—as if 94 mph from a
17-year-old left-hander wasn't enough—he pounded the strike zone

A first-grade teacher asked one of her students if he knew his numbers. He said he did � that his father had taught him.
�Okay,� the teacher said, �let�s see how much he taught you.�
The boy agreed, so the teacher asked, �What number comes after two?�
�Three,� answered the boy.
�What comes after five?�
�What comes after eight?�
The teacher was pleased with the boy.
�Very good,� praised the teacher. �It looks like your father did a great job. So tell me, what comes after 10?�
�A jack,� the boy answered.
Can you believe that school is about to start back? I have two boys of my own, and it seems like they just got out for the summer last week. My oldest son, Hunter, can�t wait for school to start back. He has been looking forward to getting back in school since the bell rang for summer dismissal.
My middle son, Kenneth, however, is not like that. He could care less if he ever went to school another day in his life. He would be perfectly content never having to read another book in his life.
As a parent, I get excited and nervous about each new school year. I am excited because Hunter will be in the fifth grade, and Kenneth will be in the second grade. I am excited for all the things the boys will learn in the coming school year. I am excited about working with their new teachers. But I am also nervous about the things that could happen to my boys and the other children, like shootings and other acts of violence.
That�s why it is so critical that all of us pray for the students, teachers and administration workers as they start this new school year. Pray for safety on each of them. Pray that all the students will learn much in the months ahead. Pray that the students would make lasting friendships. Pray for wisdom and strength for the teachers and administrators. Pray for good health. And pray that each of them will represent Jesus Christ in their school this year. James 5:16 tells us: �The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much� (NKJV).
Every morning when I drop my boys off at school, I pray for God to take care of them during that day. I hope and pray that you will pray for the safety and protection of your children, as well. We have heard about school shootings in Colorado and Connecticut in recent years, and we think, �Well, that won�t ever happen here.� You don�t know that, my friend. It could happen anywhere! Just be sure to lift up everyone in our schools on a daily basis, asking God to not only bless them and teach them, but to protect them.
I am so thankful for all the teachers, and I pray for a great 2013-14 school year for them. Join me in praying for them and for all our students every day. May they take the love of Christ with them into a world that is in need of a Savior.

Nyeri County, Kenya, is a long way from Cape Coral. Nearly 85 percent of its economy is based on agriculture, particularly coffee, and it is also a popular tourist destination.
A delegation from that part of the world came to Southwest Florida this week to build alliances with the local communities and learn to develop its education, trade and tourism segments.
Officials said the ultimate goal would be for Cape Coral and Nyeri to become sister cities, where the two municipalities can help each other and exchanges ideas and goods.

Nderitu Gachagua, left, governor of Nyeri County in Kenya, awards Oasis High School's Model UN teacher, Dr. Peter Ndiang'ui, with a certificate of recognition at a reception for the Kenyan delegation Tuesday at Rumrunners.
Tuesday night, after a long day of meeting and greeting, the delegation was welcomed by at Rumrunners restaurant for a reception that included nearly all city leaders and the Oasis High School's Model UN team.
The delegation had a lot to take in and learned a lot, said Nderitu Gachagua, Nyeri County's governor.
"We're very excited to be here. The weather is perfect and we get the chance to meet with people here and share our experiences and see how our peoples can benefit," Gachagua said. "We have discussed the possibility of a cultural exchange, education and trade and now we're here."
The reception featured Cape Coral Mayor Marni Sawicki giving Gachagua a key to the city (the first she's given out) and two members of the Model UN team, Claudia Rodriguez-Sanchez and Bailee Peralto made presentations - Rodriguez-Sanchez to implore Nyeri to set up a Model U.N. in its homeland, the latter with a speech she will give at a national competition this summer in Las Vegas.
"We get to meet so many interesting people. Whatever (Dr. Peter Ndiang'ui) is involved in, it's usually very good and exciting," Rodriguez-Sanchez said.
"It's wonderful to be able to have them in and give them support and build relationships," Sawicki said. "I'm glad Dana Brunett was able to set this up and I'm always proud of the Oasis kids. They always seem to amaze me."
But perhaps most proud was Model UN teacher Ndiang'ui, who was born and raised in Nyeri County.
"This is a beautiful thing. It's amazing what we've done," Ndiang'ui said, who received a certificate during the gathering.
It has been a busy three days for the delegation. It arrived Monday night and on Tuesday visited Sanibel and the "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge before visiting Fort Myers Mayor Randy Henderson.
Today, they will meet with Lee County Schools Superintendent Nancy Graham, FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw and Lee County Commissioner Cecil Pendergrass, before leaving Southwest Florida for Washington, D.C.
Stan Miano, Nyeri's minister of trade, has found the trip enlightening, as his job is to learn more about tourism and find potential investors.
"Florida has many tourists, so we have a lot to learn. We have met good generous people and we have been blessed to be here," Miano said. "We hope we can continue to engage with these people and promote our relationship.
Brunett saw this as another opportunity to promote business in Cape Coral, while learning more about people halfway across the globe.
"It's beyond cool. I find it enriching because when you bring different people together, you learn things," Brunett said. "This is about opportunities. You never know when they come along, and this may have planted a seed that could lead to something down the road."

Latest MedicineNet News
THURSDAY, April 25 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly half of Americans now say they would consider donating a kidney to a stranger, a new survey finds.
The number was even higher -- 84 percent -- when the Mayo Clinic's national poll asked respondents whether they would be very or somewhat likely to consider donating a kidney or portion of their liver to a close friend or family member.
The results reveal an uptick in people's willingness to consider donating an organ. A 2001 Gallup survey found that 76 percent of respondents would likely donate a kidney to a close friend, while 24 percent said they would give a kidney to a stranger.
The new findings are encouraging, said Dr. Mikel Prieto, surgical director of kidney transplantation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"As living organ donation becomes more widely known and accepted -- and as the safety and surgical proficiency continue to improve -- we hope that more people will come forward and offer to help loved ones who need kidney and liver transplants," Prieto said in a Mayo news release. "It's also very heartening to hear that the willingness to consider donating a kidney to a stranger has increased so significantly."
The survey also found that 61 percent of respondents would want their organs donated after they die and 51 percent said they have formally indicated their wishes by registering as an organ donor. Respondents aged 35 to 44 were most likely to want to donate their organs after death.
Older people may not know that organ donation generally has no age limit and that it may still be possible even for people with a history of cancer or other serious medical conditions.
"Here at Mayo Clinic, we have successfully transplanted organs from donors who are in their 70s and 80s, providing an amazing gift of life to older or very sick recipients who may not have lived long enough to receive another organ," Prieto said.
April is National Donate Life Month. More than 118,000 people in the United States are waiting for an organ transplant.

Grave Mercy
Author: R.L. LaFevers
Series: #1 in the My Fair Assassin series
Narrator: Erin Moon
Run time: 14 hrs and 14 mins
Publisher: Recorded Books
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.
Ismae's most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death's vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?
Anyone who knows me as a review, knows that I rarely give 5 star review for books, so that fact that I am seriously considering giving one to Grave Mercy should sum up what I thought of it. I originally bought the audiobook back in July after I heard it discussed on a message board and now for the life of me, I can't remember why I didn't listen to it then. Now having finished it, I want to kick myself for not listening sooner, but at the same time, so glad I didn't, because now I only have 4 month wait for book 2, rather than a 9 month wait (and I can tell you that it is going to be torture…). Really hoping that the audiobook is going to be available for pre-order so I can start it on the day of release. But back to Grave Mercy…
The first thing that sucked me in (aside from the recommendation) was the cover – I love the current popularity of girls in these fancy dresses on the cover, and this one totally suited the time period that the book was set in. Plus, she was carrying a cross-bow – I mean, how bad-ass is that 😉 Then there was a time period. Having a mom that is a french/history teacher has made me a sucker for books set in unique time periods (thanks Mom!) And the history of France, and Brittany is one that has intrigued me in the past. I can't think of any other books off the top of my head that are set during that time period (maybe a Julie Garwood romance, but not sure). Wow, have I managed to get distracted again…I totally have a case of BSN disease (bright, shiny, new…ohhh pretty!)
So anyways, cover, time period in history, oh yeah, assassin nuns…ummm, 'nuff said. I loved that Ismae wasn't a typical wilting heroine that seems to predominant in many books (the kind of heroine that I often want to beat over the head). Although, she did have a few moments of dumb-assery (and yes, that is a real word according to Dee, and probably urban dictionary), for the most part, she was fairly level headed – while at the same time, maintaining the naitivety of a teenager, because ultimately that is what she was (I think maybe 17-19 in the book, if I can do my math).
Yes, there is romance, but it isn't the sickly sweet, insta-love, but rather a slow developing, burning/smoldering flame. It felt real to me (and having read romances for like 15+ years now, I have a lot to compare it to). I liked the ending because everything wasn't tied up in a pretty bow, because a) history isn't all pretty like that (and if you google this time period and the individuals mentioned you will know why) and b) she is writing 2 more books that I am hoping/guessing will take place in roughly the same time period.
Someone commented on an Amazon message board about currently reading YA that they weren't necessarily a fan of all the political intrigue. but for me, I really liked it – it reminded so much of what I remember reading in my history books in high school and college – there was just so much back-stabbing, jealous, planning going on. I did manage to figure out relatively early on who the traitor was (but don't worry, I'm not going to tell you). But I did like seeing how it was all revealed as part of the plot.
Erin Moon is a new narrator to me, like so many of the audiobooks I have tried this year. She had this sweet teenage-esque voice that I think suited Ismae to a tee – but at the same time, was able to make the multiple male characters (Duval, Beast, DeLornay) sound masculine. There were a few of the lesser male characters (Francois, and the Captain of the Guards) that I felt weren't voices as well. Mostly because they didn't have as much of a speaking role and many of the others. I'm really hoping that she ends up narratoring the next book in the series – I don't know (off the top of my head), any other narrators who I think could do it as well (maybe Natalie Ross or Xe Sands).
So yeah – overall, read it, listen to it, devour it…just get a copy of this book in some shape or form and read it. You won't regret it (and if you do, well then, I plead innocent of all charges – it wasn't my fault).

Sarah Susanka, FAIA
Acclaimed author of The Not So Big House series, Home By Design and The Not So Big Life
Sarah Susanka's "Not So Big" message has become a launch pad for a new dimension of understanding—not just about how we inhabit our homes, but also about how we inhabit our planet and even our day-to-day lives. As a cultural visionary with an incredible ability to understand the underlying structure of the American lifestyle, Susanka is providing the language and tools that are redefining how we live.
Thought leader, inspirational keynote speaker and acclaimed architect, Susanka is the author of nine books that collectively weave together home and life design, revealing that a "Not So Big" attitude serves not only architectural aims, but life goals as well. Her books have sold well over a million copies.
Through her Not So Big House presentations and book series, Susanka has helped readers understand that the sense of "home" they're seeking has almost nothing to do with quantity and everything to do with quality. She points out that we feel "at home" in our houses when where we live reflects who we are in our hearts.
In her book and presentations about The Not So Big Life, she uses this same set of notions to explain that we can feel "at home" in our lives only when what we do reflects who we truly are. Susanka unveils a process for changing the way we live by fully inhabiting each moment of our lives and by showing up completely in whatever it is we are doing.
Acclaimed Speaker, Sought-After Media Resource
Susanka's inspiring "Not So Big" keynotes and presentations have been sought out by renowned conferences such as Duncan Littlefair, the Housing Leadership Summit and PCBC. Major corporations including Johnson & Johnson, Lowe's, Target, Best Buy and Herman Miller as well as key government and civic organizations such as the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Association of Homebuilders, The American Institute of Architects and The National Trust for Historic Preservation regularly invite Susanka to address their conferences. Universities, art museums, leadership conferences, health care groups and wellness centers such as Kripalu and Omega seek both her "Not So Big House" and "Not So Big Life" lectures and workshops.
Susanka is regularly called upon for her insights as a social commentator and trend-spotter by USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times; magazines such as Newsweek, Better Homes & Gardens, Reader's Digest and AARP; and television programming such as "Oprah," "Good Morning America," "Charlie Rose," CNN, HGTV and "This Old House." In 2014, Susanka was invited by The Wall Street Journal to write an essay on "The Future of Home." Her essay appeared in the 125th Anniversary edition of the newspaper among essays from other thought leaders including Bill Ford and Mark Zuckerberg.
Builder Magazine recognized Susanka as one of the 30 most notable innovators in the housing industry over the past 30 years. Fast Company named Susanka to their debut list of "Fast 50" innovators whose achievements have helped to change society, Newsweek magazine selected her as a "top newsmaker," and U.S. News and World Report dubbed her an "innovator in American culture." Susanka was presented with the 2007 Anne Morrow Lindbergh Award by the Lindbergh Foundation for outstanding individual achievement in making positive contributions to our world.
Susanka is a member of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council. She was born in Kent, England, and travels from Raleigh, North Carolina. Join her online community at www.NotSoBig.com. (Pronunciation Guide for Susanka: Sarah Soo-'san-kuh)

"ANIMAL-TRAP" Mousetraps can be so anticlimactic, but this one goes off with a bang. An 1882 patent, the frame is designed to hold your favorite peashooter. When a rodent steps onto the treadle, a spring yanks on the trigger and sets off the firearm. The inventor, James Williams, suggested it would make a good burglar alarm.Hide Caption 2 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents2. "FLATULENCE DEODORIZER" Confidently cut the cheese with this 2001 invention, which masks the smell of your personal potpourri. A simple charcoal pad clings to the back of your underpants, stopping the aroma before it reaches your boss' nose. Benjamin Franklin would be proud. Hide Caption 3 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents3. "APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING COLLISIONS OF RAILWAY TRAINS" It's like a scarecrow—but for trains. Patented in 1888, J. W. James' invention features an electric dummy riding in front of the train. The dummy is "made to throw up both hands at each revolution of the wheel and strike the gong with a hammer for the purpose of frightening cattle from the track and to announce the approach of the train," James wrote.Hide Caption 4 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents4. "FRESH-AIR BREATHING DEVICE AND METHOD" Smoke inhalation causes most fire-related deaths. Knowing that, William Holmes found out how to keep you conscious while you wait for rescue—as long as you can handle having toilet breath. Holmes patented a snorkel-like device that supplies fresh air from your sewer. Just feed the tube past your throne's water trap. Although you won't die from a lungful of smoke, but you might get woozy after huffing all that sewer gas.Hide Caption 5 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents5. "WEARABLE DEVICE FOR FEEDING AND OBSERVING BIRDS" As long as you're okay with hanging a few birdfeeders from your dome, you can get a front row seat to all the action. David Leslie patented the contraption in 1999. Apparently, it's also handy for butterfly hunting. Hide Caption 6 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents6. "GRAFFITI PREVENTION APPARATUS" Henry Hunt called graffiti "an assault on the visual pleasures of man." So in 1997, he patented a system that could kill the career of any wannabe Banksy. When a vandal approaches a potential canvas, a sensor embedded in the wall activates a magnetic field to repel the paint. The problem? Spray paint isn't magnetic.Hide Caption 7 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents7. "MOTORCYCLE SAFETY APPAREL" Dismayed by how dangerous motorcycle crashes can be, Dan Kincheloe patented an inflatable safety suit in 1987. Basically an airbag for your body, the suit has an "umbilical cord" that connects to a supply of compressed gas. When a biker flies off, a shorter pull cord snaps that rapidly inflates the suit. Pro? It could save your life. Con? You'll look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.Hide Caption 8 of 12 Photos: 11 patently absurd patents8. "PROCESS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF RUMINANT ANIMAL METHANE EMISSIONS" Forget windmills and solar panels. Harness the beautiful power of cows! Ruminant animals—which have four stomachs—account for 20 percent of the world's methane emissions. (Most of that methane doesn't come from their behinds, actually. They exhale and burp it out.) To harness all that lost gas, Markus Herrema patented a bovine gas collector in 2006. The gas is channeled to a chamber full of methane-loving microorganisims, which can be used later in "nutritional foodstuff or . . . other useful products, such as adhesive or cosmetics."Hide Caption 9 of 12

Advantus announced today that they have acquired substantially all of the assets of Sulyn Industries, which manufactures and sells glitter and sequins in Coral Springs, FL, as well as importing craft products.
Sulyn Industries has been selling products such as glitter, sequins and craft kits to the crafts industry for over 25 years. The company made news early in 2010 when an Associated Press investigation on children's toys imported from China named Sulyn as one company that had imported metal toys from China that contained high levels of toxic cadmium. The AP reported that its tests on a bracelet charm sold by Walmart that was imported by Sulyn in 2008 showed high levels of cadmium, a carcinogen.
Both companies are based in Florida. Sulyn's operations will be leaving their current home in Coral Springs and moving to Advantus's headquarters in Jacksonville, with Sulyn products beginning to ship from Jacksonville in early December. Advantus is promising that "several key employees" will be remaining with Sulyn through the operations transfer.
Advantus already owned craft brands Cropper Hopper, Tim Holtz Idea-ology, The Girls Paperie, and Tree of Life. In addition to its crafts brands, it owns such brands as Vituri, Z International, and See Jane Work.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have scheduled a vote on Friday to stop interest rates on college student loans from doubling beginning July 1. Up until now, Republicans on the Hill had been staunchly opposed to any bipartisan action to stop the interest rate increases. What gives?
Not that there aren't multiple reasons for urgent action on student debt relief . . .
Drawing from the data compiled by Project Student Debt, we know that "members of the college class of 2010 who took out student loans owed on average $25,250 upon graduation, a 5 percent increase from the year before." Total student loan debt has reached $1 trillion, exceeding what Americans owe on their credit cards.
Furthermore, this problem will only get worse. The cost of attending college — which has increased by 559 percent since 1985, rising far faster than costs for gasoline and health care — continued its steep climb in the 2011-12 school year, with in-state tuition and fees at public four-year institutions averaging $8,244, which is 8.3 percent higher than the previous year according to The College Board.
So the Republican's swift action to call for a vote on relieving college student loan debt is a good thing, right? Not at all.
Republicans Think Education Is Just A Cost
According to a report from The Hill Speaker John Boehner has coupled the vote on student loan relief "with an attack on Obama's healthcare law" by insisting that any student loan debt relief be balanced with cuts to healthcare funding.
Democratic Congressional leaders in the Senate have countered Republican objections to student loan relief with proposals to offset the $5.9 billion budget impact by closing a loophole that lets wealthy shareholders in S-corporations dodge payroll taxes. In the House, Rep. George Miller, the senior Democrat on the House Education Committee, introduced legislation that would balance any impact of student debt relief by eliminating tax breaks for the oil-and-gas industries.
Framing the debate exactly right, however, was President Obama.
The Right Frame For Speaking About Student Loan Relief
Speaking this week at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Obama plainly stated what ought to be the nation's priorities, saying:
Whether you're here at a four-year college or university, or you're at a two-year community college, in today's economy, there's no greater predictor of individual success than a good education. Right now, the unemployment rate for Americans with a college degree or more is about half the national average. The incomes of folks with a college degree are twice as high as those who don't have a high school diploma. A higher education is the clearest path into the middle class.
The president got this exactly right. We know that educating our children and young adults is one of the best investments we can make as a nation. It's investing in America. When we help the next generation of Americans grow and succeed, we are paving the way for our country's future citizens, workers, and leaders. Supporting students and paying for education isn't just the right thing to do. It's smart.
So what Congressional leaders of both parties need to get a grip on is that relieving our students' debt burden is not an intolerable cost but an essential investment. Republicans in particular need to rearrange their heads to understand that the interests of the nation are best served when education is viewed not in the context of today's budget but in the context of the future return of the investment. Democrats, on the other hand, who seem to already understand the ROI of education spending, must also understand they need not make any concessions at all for education investment. In fact, they should start negotiating from the position that student loan interest rates should be lowered and the subject of debt forgiveness deserves to be on the table.
Sensing that conservative Republicans in the House may have gotten this argument completely wrong, Mitt Romney, Obama's likely opponent in the fall general elections, executed one of his signature flip-flops he is so well known for and suddenly expressed support for student debt relief.
Romney Way Is The Wrong Way For Education
Remember, it was just last month that Romney made headlines when he warned a high school student not to "expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on" for a college education. Yet now he apparently fully supports "extending the temporarily relief" on student loan interest rates.
But don't for a minute think that Romney views education spending as an investment. Whatever the current Romney-stance-of-the-day may be on student debt relief, we know all too well that Romney's core philosophy on education is to view it through the lens of business and profit. In previous remarks, he has sung the praises of for-profit colleges that charge exorbitant tuition, have low graduation rates, and load students with debt amounts that are even higher than the current national average.
If you want to view the gross underbelly of the Romney Way for higher education, you need only venture into the subways of New York City. Car after car are emblazoned with colorful banner ads touting colleges, universities, and certificate programs that offer young adults opportunities to "advance" themselves and achieve "success." The ads invariably feature images of smiling young adults of color and headlines exhorting them to "aim high" and "advance yourself." And a prominent bullet point in nearly every ad is "we'll arrange the financing for you."
The advertising onslaught stems both from the demand our nation's younger generation feels as a result of being increasingly unemployed with fewer and fewer job prospects and a relentless campaign from institutions of higher learning to capitalize on that anxiety with promises to provide a pathway to future employment through education. It's marketing 101 — selling pain relief for the "Excedrin moment."
An especially prominent marketer behind these campaigns is the rapidly expanding for-profit higher education sector that, according to Republic Report's David Halperin "gets about $32 billion of its approximately $35 billion annual revenue from federal financial aid."
Yet instead of calling for investigations of this sector's impact on the student loan crisis, prominent Republicans speak at for-profit higher ed meetings and rake in campaign contributions from these institutions.
Stop Disinvesting In Higher Education
Of course for-profit colleges are not the only ones to blame for the expanding debt burden being placed on young adults. Conservative governors and state legislatures across the nation have enacted huge cuts to public university systems and community colleges. California's higher education system now extracts a greater percentage of its funds from tuition and fees charged to students than it does from government funding — making it a public education system in name only.
According to a recent article in U.S. News and World Report,"A major factor in tuition increases at public institutions has been the withdrawal of state and local funding."
Quoting from a document called "The Great Cost Shift," the article describes "an irreversible slide of U.S. higher education being a collectively-funded public good to that of an individually purchased private good," and offers plenty bullet-points in proof, such as:
• The proportion of revenues that public colleges and universities received from state appropriations dropped from 38.3 percent in 1991-1992 to 24.4 percent in 2008-2009.
• In addition, the financial aid system has failed to keep pace with escalating costs, forcing students and their families to rely on financing strategies that reduce their odds of completing school.
• States reoriented their financial aid programs away from need-based assistance to merit-based aid, which favors wealthier students.
Invest In We, The People, Not Big Business
Higher education must not be just for the wealthy and the privileged. And government needs to fund the education our children deserve rather than direct more of that money to business profits that benefit only the few.

Catherine is a "dock brat" tough and strong as any of those males she drinks under the table, but is also in great shape. One would have to be to work with tons of fish. However, Catherine feels that the time for matrimony is up...

I had Goodyear Eagle RSA on my vehicle for a while it was the only tire made in that size, I had very poor traction until I switched to the Hancook tires, they grabbed the road regardless of condition, I experienced better handling and tire wear with them definately will recommend them and buy them again
1.65 out of 5Submitted by Kevin in California on 5/15/2012(2008 Toyota Trucks RAV4 V6)
Pros: quite smooth ride on asphalt roads
Cons:reduced gas mileage by @ least 2mpg, sluggish steering response, cars moves side to side & tires are a bit noisy and have a harmonic type vibration on concrete grooved freeways. Have read in other reviews after purchasing tire that after getting approx. 15,000 miles on tires, they get extrememly noisy. Wish I had time to do my homework prior to purchasing tires, would not have bought these, wanted to try Hankooks, not happy!

I am a patriotic music nut. I love any and all American-themed songs and feel a tightness in my chest and a pressure behind my eyes any time I hear "Star Spangled Banner," "America the Beautiful," etc.
Sometimes, it's a little embarrassing that a song sung on a field can get to me, yet a Kay's holiday ad just makes me want to vomit … while rolling my eyes.
My passion means I notice even the slightest glitch in the singing. Or, as was the case with Christina Aguilera tonight at the Super Bowl, a serious snafu.
