Cameron University continues to excel at keeping student debt to a minimum, according to "U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges 2014." Cameron is ranked ninth in the category of Least Debt, Class of 2012, among the 193 universities surveyed in the West region of those designated as Regional Universities and is 17th among all 621 Regional Universities surveyed.
Significantly, only 36 percent of Cameron graduates incurred debt, the lowest percentage in the West region and seventh lowest of all Regional Universities.
In tabulating debt load, the report includes loans taken out by students from colleges, private financial institutions and federal, state and local governments. Parents' loans are not included.
"Cameron strives to keep the cost of a quality education affordable," says President John McArthur. "Graduating with little or no debt plays a crucial role in a student's post-college life. The fact that only 36 percent of our 2012 graduates incurred debt can be attributed to the increased financial assistance packages offered by Cameron. By continuing to add scholarship and tuition-waiver opportunities, we are doing what we can to decrease a student's needs to obtain student loans."
Since academic year 2001-02, Cameron has increased resident tuition waivers and scholarship funding by almost 300 percent, from $756,000 to this year's $2,208,100. In addition, the Cameron University Foundation will provide almost $300,000 in scholarship funding this year. Foundation scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors who earmark their contributions specifically to benefit students through scholarship funding.
U.S. News & World Report has been compiling data and publishing "Best Colleges" for more than 25 years. Cameron University is included in the West region of the Regional Universities category, which includes institutions that provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's programs.

What Are Bed Bugs And How To Get Rid Of ThemMonday, October 27th, 2008
What Are Bed Bugs And How To Get Rid Of Them
Bed bugs are back and are being found all over the world. Recently, bed bugs are becoming a huge problem in apartments, homes, condos, hotels, cruise ships, dormitories, shelters, etc. You name it, bed bugs are there.
Many people don't realize exactly what bed bugs are. They think that bed bugs are a myth that are only mentioned at night time, "Don't let the bed bugs bite." Bed bugs are very real. They are small, wingless insects that get their only source of food from the blood of warm-blooded animals. Adult bed bugs are about 1/4 of an inch in length.
Bed bugs are nocturnal creatures. This means that they are awake during the night time and dormant during the day hours. Bed bugs hide in dark places such as tiny cracks and crevices. During night time, bed bugs seek food from warm-blooded animals. When they find a host, they painlessly suck blood from the host. Bed bugs have highly evolved mouths that can inject saliva into the host's blood while also drinking the blood as food.
Bed bugs leave orderly marks on their victims. Unlike mosquito bites, bed bug bites are often in rows. Often times, you need to see a doctor to determine whether or not the bite marks are from bed bugs. This is because the marks themselves look very similar to flea bites and mosquito bites.
Bed bugs like to hide in small crevices and can enter your home as a stowaway through furniture, luggage, clothing, pillows, boxes, etc. Furniture that has been used previously is also at a greater risk of harboring bed bugs. Bed bugs can survive for months without receiving food, so don't think that you are safe if you get some used furniture that hasn't been used in a while.
If you think you might have bed bugs, you need to carefully examine your bedroom and any other place that has been used for sleeping. Be sure to check the folds of your bed sheets and mattress. Also, check any holes or cracks in your bed frame. These are prime places for bed bugs to hide. You may also find small brown spot on your mattress. This may be an indication of bed bug fecal matter.
The best thing to do is to prevent bed bugs. Carefully examine used furniture before bringing it into your home. Reduce clutter and eliminate any hiding places for bed bugs. Make sure you keep a clean home. Bed bugs are not often found in extremely clean homes. If you do have bed bugs, you can get rid of them yourself, but it is more difficult. The best thing to do is to get rid of your mattress completely. If this is not an option for you, thoroughly vacuum your mattress and shampoo it using a special mattress shampoo.
The best way to completely get rid of bed bugs is to use a pest control service. These companies are trained and know the best ways to effectively get rid of all bed bugs and any eggs they may have laid. Pest control treatment can be a little costly but it is well worth it. If you suspect you may have bed bugs, do a thorough examination of your home and then call in the professionals. For added protection, even when all the above steps have been taken you might consider purchasing a mattress cover for even more peace of mind.

"Liberty activists" to hold OWS counterdemonstration in Denver
A counterdemonstration to Occupy Wall Street is scheduled for Saturday on the steps of the state Capitol — just east of where Occupy Denver has been hanging out.
"The Free Markets, Free People Rally will demonstrate citizens' support for the nation's founding principles of limited government, economic freedom, and private charity," according to a news release. "The Free Markets, Free People Rally is not affiliated with any specific organization or group."
Speaking of founding principles, Vanity Fair in its November edition has an interesting article, Debt and Dumb," about "what really motivated our founders."
Saturday's event is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. no matter the weather and is to feature "a variety of liberty-minded, solutions-oriented speakers and other festivities." In addition, rally organizers are holding a food drive to "promote the benefits of private charity."
The contacts for the rally are state Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, and Lesley Hollywood with the Northern Colorado Tea Party.

'The Cleveland Office is really a typical
H&S Office... average-sized, and nothing
especially unique about it." Doug
Newell, principal, was talking with Bob
Jirovec of the staff as they drove back
to Cleveland in the rain through the
lush, rolling Ohio countryside from At-wood
Lake, where the office management
group and senior accountants had
just spent two days for out-of-office
training and stock taking. Pictures show
them in discussion and arrayed on a
balcony at the Atwood Lake Lodge,
ninety miles south of Cleveland.
Wives were invited, too, partly to
celebrate the end of their husbands'
busy season and partly to renew acquaintances
away from duties of home,

partner in charge, had met with the
wives to answer questions about the
Firm and the men's careers. Everybody
agreed they should all get together like
this more often.
Jeanne Newell and Carol Jirovec
were in the car, too, and were asking
their husbands leftover questions they
hadn't gotten around to asking Mr.

them together as best they could:

The Mauritius Church has seats for around 480 people. Zermatt itself is traditionally Catholic, and the proportion of Catholics in the municipality is around 80 percent today. But how many Catholic parishes in Switzerland can claim to fill the church at High Mass? Father Stefan Roth has an explanation: "We find that people are more introspective in their leisure time than in their daily lives at home. Questions thereby increasingly arise – questions about life or about spirituality." This animates people to visit churches and chapels. The Zermatt parish priest observes his parishioners. He notices how holiday guests sit in the church, lost in thought, and enjoy the stillness. Many also light a candle. Stefan Roth knows that "many people have more contact with the church here, in the world of the mountains, than they do at home." He believes that time, leisure and the experience of nature lead to the inner person.
Spirituality for all
With the Tourism Ministry, which is an integral part of overall pastoral care, the Catholic Church of Zermatt helps to smooth the path towards spirituality for the guests. The most important pillar here is the Mass. "In the Mass, we speak directly to our guests from home and abroad", says Father Stefan Roth. This includes the warm welcome and farewell, wishing the guests a wonderful stay in Zermatt. On high holy days, these wishes are also offered in English and French, while the texts of the Epistle and Gospel are available in French, English and Italian at the Sunday Masses during the season: "Spirituality has to do with the heart", says the parish priest. And that's why we speak to the visitors in their native language. Appointments can also be made for a meeting with the parish priest or a pastoral assistant. Many guests have a fixed appointment with the parish priest every year: "Many German guests ask for this". The spiritual openness that many people feel during their holidays is also expressed in the confessional or in conversations about the meaning of life", explains Stefan Roth.
Mutual strengthening of the community
But there are also other reasons why the Zermatt Mauritius Church is so alive: More than 30 members of the church choir usually accompany the HIgh Mass every second Sunday, and various groups are also involved in the daily life of the church the whole year round. "Faith is a living community", says parish priest Stefan Roth. "and our guests want to participate in this". Thanks to the open nature of the parish priest, the guests also feel really welcome here. But he also stresses: "We welcome the guests, invite them to spend some time here, to pray or to reflect on the values in their lives. But we don't want to make demands on them." Because so many external guests flock to the church, the local believers conversely feel themselves confirmed in their visits to the Mass. The community thereby produces a mutual strengthening of Faith. There is also a third group that is very close to the heart of the parish priest: the guest workers. Masses are therefore also celebrated in Italian, Portuguese and Croatian.
Lights as a symbol of spirituality
"When a guest experiences the mighty world of the mountains, this awakens spirituality in many people. But not in the narrow religious sense or in the sense of the Holy Mass." That could be the reason that so many candles burn in the many chapels around, for example, in the chapel on the Gornergrat: "Many Asian people light candles here because light is an important symbol for them", says parish priest Roth.
Around 62,000 candles were lit in the parish church in the centre of the village in the years 2010. The other figures speak for themselves: Gornergrat 44,000, Winkelmatten 18,000, Blatten 13,000, Zum See 3,000 as well as hundreds of other small red candles in the other Zermatt chapels. A total of almost 150,000 lights therefore burned in the last year, lit by locals and by guests from Germany, Great Britain, Japan, the USA and many other nations. A tourist resort is also a place of lasting encounters. Around 60 percent of the couples who marry here originate from the Swiss-German lowlands, from French-speaking Switzerland, from Germany, Great Britain and the USA. Many got to know each other in their holidays here. Within the context of the Pastoral Care for Tourism, this sacrament is also celebrated in French and English.
There is also a great tradition in the English Church
The English Church has stood in the Chrum area, just off the pulsing life of the Bahnhofstrasse, for more than 140 years. It is an important part of Zermatt's history and the tradition of alpinism, of hospitality and cosmopolitanism. The community is also celebrated here with services and ceremonies. Guests from English-speaking countries really appreciate this. Even today, the English Church is a reminder that it was above all Englishmen and women who climbed the Zermatt mountain peaks in the 19th Century. And, like the Catholic Church, many mountaineers who died in accidents are buried near the walls of the church.
The activities of the Zermatt parish priest
The driving force behind the Pastoral Care for Tourism in Zermatt is Stefan Roth. He has looked after the parish of St. Mauritius since 2003. He originates from Wiler in the Lötschental Valley, and was previously the Regens (Head) of the Fribourg seminary. In the years before this, he was the parish priest in Saas Fee und Brig for seven years in each case. He is also very active in the Episcopal Commission for Tourism, Leisure and Pastoral Care.
Working together with the Commission for the Reform Church, he has put together a website for Swiss Tourism about the religious landscape in Switzerland. The information available includes information about churches, cathedrals, religious memorials, customs and celebrations. The site is still in construction and more information is planned, as well as further language versions.

American donors contributed $417 billion to charity last year, a 13% increase over 2012, the Atlas of Giving reported last week.
Several key factors combined to create a favorable atmosphere for philanthropy in 2013, Rob Mitchell, chief executive of the Atlas of Giving, said in a statement.
"Stock market growth fueled much of the giving but improving employment, growing real estate values, a lack of inflation, low interest rates and acceleration in GDP also helped to make 2013 an especially strong giving year," Mitchell said.
"These conditions in the marketplace motivated many affluent donors to give — especially to universities and donor-advised funds. Giving appreciated stock or real estate is a great way to avoid paying capital gains tax, and many donors took advantage of the opportunity by making gifts involving such assets."
Schwab Charitable and Fidelity Charitable, two of the country's largest DAF sponsors, both reported increases in grants to nonprofit groups in 2013.
Fidelity made some 518,000 grants totaling $2.1 billion on behalf of its account holders, a 29% increase over 2012. Schwab donors' grants amounting to $742 million benefited more than 41,000 charities last year, a 36% increase.
Both organizations said in statements that appreciated securities accounted for a larger percentage of contributions from donors in 2013. For Schwab, two-thirds of contributions were appreciated securities, a five-year high.
Fidelity said publicly traded and non-publicly traded appreciated assets made up 62% of all contributions, up from 54% in 2012.
When appreciated assets are transferred to DAF accounts, donors get an immediate tax deduction and do not pay capital gains tax on the sale of assets.
The Atlas of Giving statement contained these findings from its report:
• Human needs organizations and environmental causes experienced the highest rate of growth in giving last year, up 19.1% and 18.5%, respectively.
• The lingering effects of high unemployment continued to hurt churches and organizations that rely on a large number of small gifts from many donors.
• Publicity related to the Affordable Care Act appeared to depress giving to hospitals and health-related charities.
• Among wealthier donors, significant charitable assets moved away from family foundations and into DAFs where costs are lower and there are fewer management issues.
The report said the initial outlook for giving in 2014 was positive — up about 4%, according to Mitchell — but it did not expect giving to keep pace with 2013 levels, which jumped up significantly from the previous six years of data.

Christmas is in full swing at our place but my 4 yr old didn't want to stop at decorating the tree, so I've been having to come up with several Christmas craft ideas to satisfy his holiday spirit. Today we made some thumbtack ornaments. Great for a preschooler because they really can do it themselves, but it really can be fun for all ages really. Keep reading to see the full tutorial…
- Round styrofoam balls (I recommend smallish ones)
- Assortment of thumbtacks
- Thin thread
- Metal ornament hooks (not pictured)
Start by sorting out the thumbtacks if you'd like. Doing it by color will be really fun for preschoolers (just make sur they're carefully wth the sharp end!)
Show you child how to put the thumbtacks into the ball. You can give them a little direction or just let them go for it like I did
If doesn't have to be completely full to be done, just whenever your child has had enough. That's why the smaller balls are better than larger.
To hang, stic the shorter end of the ornament hook into the styrofoam and push it all the way inside
Push it down, including the top hook until there's just a small hook left on top.
Then tie a piece of thin string, like this bakers twine, through the hook and make a knot with both ends. Hang on your tree and enjoy!

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Throwing to a backstop decorated with a mural of collegiate and professional scouts with radar guns popping up every time the pitcher comes set can be intimidating for many, but not for Indiana Prospects right-hander Joseph Gatto.
Gatto fired three impressive innings in the Indiana Prospects' first game of the 2013 17u WWBA National Championship at East Cobb Complex. His fastball sat between 90-93 mph, peaking at 94, and he threw a knee-buckling mid-70s curveball to go with it.
His stat line read: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K.
"I wasn't sure how I was gonna do being in the rain a couple days, but I feel like I had a great performance," said Gatto. "I threw the ball pretty well."
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound pitcher showed great command of his pitches, throwing 23 of his 32 pitches for strikes.
"I try to always get that first pitch strike," Gatto said. "That means so much when you're able to get ahead of someone like that."
The University of North Carolina commit impressed the scouts with his ability to paint the corners, sending two hitters down looking at 90 mph fastballs that painted the outside black. His third victim went down swinging hopelessly at a devastating 75 mph 12-to-6 curveball.
"My curveball's been pretty good for me this year," Gatto said when asked what his favorite two-strike pitch is. "I either throw that or my two-seam (fastball) and it's been working for me."
Gatto's battery mate in this game, Colby Sweat, said he felt comfortable behind the plate even though he had never caught Gatto in a game before.
"He throws really hard," said Sweat. "That first inning he kind of came out a little jumpy at first then came down after the first couple of batters and he was throwing heat."
With a solid defense behind him, Gatto was able to fly through three innings on the mound in his short outing.
"The guys certainly rally behind him," said Mark Peters, coach of the Indiana Prospects. "We got a lot of talented kids and they all really support each other."
The team has six players who have committed to Duke, UNC, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Yale and, Western Kentucky; all of which are Division I schools.
The offense backed Gatto well, manufacturing 11 runs on 10 hits and 10 walks in the 11-0 win over the East Cobb Yankees 17u. James McGhee, a Duke commit, went 2-for-4 at the plate and displayed tremendous speed, swiping three bags. Gage Rogers and Greg Rengel had two hits and two RBI apiece, while catcher Colby Sweat reached base safely in all four plate appearances, collecting an RBI single and walking three times.
"I think we played very well," said Gatto. "We hit the ball tremendously. I think we're starting to play together."
"They were anxious to take the field and it showed," Peters added. "They took some good hacks and hit on some good counts and moved some runners in."
After being rained out the first three days of the 2013 17u WWBA National Championship, the team was just happy to get a game in.
"It's been tough trying to get the guys together," said Peters. "It was hard to even get outside and take BP and do anything."
Coach Peters tried to keep his players' spirits high despite not being able to play baseball.
"We went to Dave and Buster's last night and had a little fun there -- did a little team event," Peters mentioned.
"We were getting a little crazy in the hotel," Gatto mentioned of all the rain. "It was good to come out here. I think everyone needed this."
Indiana controlled the game, seeing 125 pitches over five innings of offense and working deep counts to get on base.
The Indiana Prospects baseball organization has produced some highly touted prospects that recently went high in the 2103 Major League Baseball Draft. Trey Ball, who was the seventh overall pick by the Boston Red Sox, and Conrad Gregor, who was selected by the Houston Astros in the fourth round, are the latest Indiana prospects to headline the organization.
The Indiana Prospects 17u team competing at East Cobb this week is made up of players from Indiana, New Jersey, and Florida. Although they are not all from the same area, they looked like a team that's been playing together for years.
Sweat couldn't have been happier with the way the team played, producing up and down the lineup on offense and making the tough plays look routine in the field. He displayed the greatest confidence in his team, saying, "I feel like if we keep playing like this we shouldn't lose."

Willem Dafoe's "Daybreakers" opens Friday, but on Wednesday he talked a bit about what attracted him to his next project, the hotly anticipated "John Carter of Mars," in which he'll play a four-armed giant.
"Andrew Stanton, the material, the idea that I'm gonna play a 10-foot Martian warrior," he said laughing. "When someone asks you to make a movie directed by Andrew Stanton, with Disney behind it, a big, tent-pole movie… I know from making "Finding Nemo" how these Pixar guys work. They're very thorough, they're very rigorous, they really get it. It's a real pleasure because you get so protected, because they're so well researched and you get so much help trying to make something."
Dafoe recently met with Stanton to go over some preliminary things about the challenges of creating a character like Tars Tarkas from Edgar Rice Burroughs's 11-volume Barsoom series.
U.S. & World
"He showed me some samples, just so I can understand what I'm in for… Mostly about ideas for how they are going to film these creatures next to human beings. 'Cause we do play the scenes, its not like some people's fantasies – they put you in a room and they sample you and then go off and they do this computer magic and nobody ever plays a scene. It's not like that, we're gonna play these scenes."
Ever the good soldier, when pressed for details on how Tarkas will be brought to life, specifically will the two extra limbs be prosthetics, Dafoe played coy and then played dumb.
"I'm not tellin'!" he bellowed good-naturedly. "I'm not telling, and you know what? I can't talk that much about it, because I don't know yet. We don't even start shooting next week, it's part of prep, I go to London and we start to do the things we need to do to know how to solve these problems. I think officially production starts the 18th."

I have spent about 30 hours so far trying to get
sp_send_dbmail to work. I finally got SOMETHING to work, but I have serious doubts as to its security. I would like know a method which is better yet quick and easy to setup (I'm severely limited on time at this point), and the 'ideal' (best practice) solution.
Current SQL Server 2005 Configuration
- `After Insert` Trigger on table executes `sp_send_dbmail`
- Database Mail SMTP Account setup (with successful mail test)
- Database Mail Profile setup (with "Public Profile" ticked)
- "guest" account added to "DatabaseMailUserRole"
I found this post suggesting the "correct" solution and I read up on this article where I discovered that it's a pretty involved solution with too many things that can go wrong it seems, not to mention difficult to maintain.
My thoughts for an alternative solution are these.
1. Setup an Application Role in msdb (this would be my first time using one
and not even sure if it IS a solution :P), and use it to ensure that email
can ONLY be generated from the app and not by connecting directly to the server.
2. Abandon the trigger and instead run a job on the table to send email. Definitely
NOT ideal as I would prefer the email to go out instantly, but at least this
way I would be able to control the user context. Additionally this is similar
to the current mechanism, except it would use a Stored Procedure instead of a
DTS package.
The issues I've been battling these 30 hours and the reason for my inquiry are related to the security context under which the trigger was being executed. When I did my testing, everything worked great because I am a DBA, but when my users used the app responsible for generating the email, it would break because their credentials were not sufficiently high to for the trigger to execute the
sp_send_dbmail proc, and therefore it broke the app. (Unfortunately my error handling as the SQL Server level is less than desirable at the moment).

Rare video: Moon flashing in front of giant's face
Mars probe, Phobos, Jupiter in one-off conjunction
Vid Boffins at the European Space Agency are hugging themselves gleefully after capturing a dramatic vid from a space probe in orbit above Mars which shows the Martian moon Phobos zooming across the backdrop provided by gigantic Jupiter.
As readers will appreciate, the vid isn't all that stunning in and of itself: but we're talking here about footage taken from a robot probe (Mars Express) orbiting another frickin' planet and featuring not just one of the hurtling moons of Mars but also a titanic gas giant of the outer system.
According to the ESA:
At the moment when Mars Express, Phobos, and Jupiter aligned on 1 June 2011, there was a distance of 11 389 km between the spacecraft and Phobos, and a further 529 million km to Jupiter.
The High Resolution Stereo Camera on Mars Express was kept fixed on Jupiter for the conjunction, ensuring that the planet remained static in the frame. The operation returned a total of 104 images over a period of 68 seconds, all of them taken using the camera's super-resolution channel.
By knowing the exact moment when Jupiter passed behind Phobos, the observation will help to verify and even improve our knowledge of the orbital position of the Martian moon.
The ESA also provided this handy pic illustrating just how Mars Express and Phobos were situated when both came into line with Jupiter on June 1.
What do you mean you didn't turn it ... oh ha ha, very funny
There's more on Mars Express from the ESA here. ®

Radial stiffness
Radial stiffness depends on the elastic deformation (deflection) of the bearing under load and can be expressed as a ratio of load to deflection. However, since the relationship between deflection and load is not linear, only guideline values can be provided (→ product tables: single row bearings and double row bearings). These values apply to moderately preloaded, mounted bearings under static conditions, subjected to moderate loads.
More accurate values for radial stiffness can be calculated using advanced computer programs. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service and refer to Bearing stiffness.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JennNCA from Quality??? I bought this set of beer mugs because I loved the shape of them. When I received the first set each glass had a line going down the side and also a line down the handle. I thought I just got a defective set. Glasses shouldn't show lines bonding them together. I called WS for a replacement and they were happy to send me a new set. The replacement came and same issue. Ended up returning these.Bummed out because I really wanted a set of these unique beer mugs. Normally I love everything WS but can't recommend due to appearance.Date published: 2015-12-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Summertimecouple from Great design. Beautiful, durable beer glasses. A cold Belgian White looks very nice. Nice and cold when taken out of the freezer. Great look.Date published: 2014-08-18
I love the look of these beer mugs (15 0z...set of 4)...but...I understand that they have lines from the mold that set them...running down the body and the handle. True ? For the cost, it would be expected that no such lines would be seen.Hi Spike1150, Due to how this mug is manufactured, it has 2 seams: one at the handle and one on the side directly across from the handle.Date published: 2019-03-20

Where are we today with FamilySearch online?
For the United States alone, FamilySearch has 109,791 microfilms and 200,806 items of published material. World wide the number of items is between 2.4 and 2.5 million rolls of microfilm, 742,000 microfiche, 310,000 books, serials and other formats, and 4,500 periodicals. There are over 4,000 Family History Centers world wide.
Online, FamilySearch.org was introduced in May of 1999 and by October of that year, the site had surpassed 1.5 billion hits. Some monitoring organizations rank FamilySearch.org as high as 8,835 in the world. See Alex, the Web Information Company. For comparison, Ancestry.com is ranked 1,106 as of 9 October 2010. However, in the genealogical community, FamilySearch is second only to Ancestry.com and its websites, in web visits. (I realize that other ranking organizations might give different numbers).
From that first website, FamilySearch.org, there are now many different websites with different functions. However, with the fairly recent introduction of the Beta.FamilySearch.org website, there is a major consolidation of the websites going on. It is probably a good idea, from time to time, to review exactly where we are and what each website does (and does not) do for the genealogical community. In no real sort of order, here we go:
FamilySearch.org is now growing old and will shortly undergo a metamorphosis into a new website now online as Beta.FamilySearch.org. The existing FamilySearch.org site has been used for its collections of free online records. Those include the AncestralFile, the International Genealogical Index (IGI), the Pedigree Resource File, the Social Security Death Index, and the Vital Records Index. It also included the highly valuable Family History Library Catalog and a multitude of online resources, instructional videos, and other helpful items.
In order to streamline its method of processing names for submission to the LDS Temples, FamilySearch introduced a newer version of FamilySearch.org presently called, New.FamilySearch.org. This program is still technically in the beta testing stage and has been for the last couple of years. Almost all of the records in the existing FamilySearch.org website, plus LDS Temple records and LDS membership records were included in this massive database. Record access was and is limited to LDS Church members and also the program shows only limited or no information on living individuals. New.FamilySearch.org is being rapidly developed and undergoes periodic beta testing (a test is going on presently) with regular upgrades. FamilySearch has indicated that at some time in the future, the New.FamilySearch.org website will be open to all Internet users.
FamilySearch has been using a website called Labs.FamilySearch.org to beta test some of its developing ideas. One of the sites featured is called the FamilySearch Research Wiki. All of research aids and training materials from the FamilySearch.org website were seeded into the Wiki which now contains 41,859 articles on genealogical resources available with links all around the Internet. This is a rapidly growing site and will ultimately become (in my opinion) the major online resource for organizing and locating genealogical information on the Internet. Allied with the Research Wiki is the Forums site. This FamilySearch Forums site is also still in beta. It is relatively little known and underused although it is open to all Internet users, not just LDS Church members. It appears to be very useful and may become more used as it becomes more well known.
FamilySearch began a massive program to both digitize and index the huge collection of microfilms stored in a vault carved into the side of a granite canyon near Salt Lake City, Utah. The FamilySearch Indexing program is in full swing with hundreds of thousands of volunteers around the world indexing millions of records a month. Here is a second start-up page for the site. All of those millions of indexed and scanned documents are literally pouring into a fast growing database called Record Search (also called Record Search Pilot).
Now, the Beta.FamilySearch.org website consolidates and/or links almost all of the functions of these, now mostly separate, websites. It seamlessly (almost) links the sites together into one mega-site which includes the information from the existing FamilySearch.org website, the Record Search site, the Forums, the Research Wiki and a lot more. So, if you want to see what is going on right now, all you really have to do is explore the Beta.FamilySearch.org site.
There are however bits and pieces floating around on the Internet. Not even Wikipedia lists all these other websites. These include the Community Trees site, with some really remarkable collections of family history. There is also the FamilySearch Developer Network and England Jurisdictions 1851.
There are lot more LDS resources for genealogy on the Internet. Some of them are not under the FamilySearch umbrella, but may be in the future. One of these is the Family History Archives, which is hosted on the Brigham Young University website BYU.edu. The Family History Archives is a digitized collection of tens of thousands of family history and genealogy books and like all of the websites is free to the public. BYU has a number of highly useful online resources for genealogy, some of which are pretty hard to find down inside of the website. For example, the BYU Center for Family History and Genealogy has a U.S. Census Tutorial.
I have probably forgotten to include some huge vital resource, but this gives an overview of where we are as of October of 2010.

I'm so glad that I have someone on the inside to rely on as a source of information! I mean that you are technically aware of stuff and also aware of what's going on at FamilySearch. I'm sure that you're very proficient at the FamilySearch Centers, also. I remember visiting my daughter about three or four years ago and they were to pick me at the Phoenix airport. Some of their plans got waylaid and I had an evening at the motel ahead of me. They live in the White Mountain area. I have visited the Mesa FHC a few times, but on this night they were closed. I jumped on a city bus and went down to see the Christmas lights at the Temple, so at least I got close. My daughter and her husband were aghast that I was loose on the streets of Mesa for a while, by myself!ReplyDelete

Nokia has announced that it is to share its Drive, Maps and Transit apps with other Windows Phone handsets. Under the new name Here, users of non-Nokia handsets will finally be able to use the Finns' excellent navigation software.
However, Nokia does point out that the "first and best" versions of the software will remain on its own smartphones, and it's not clear when the roll-out will happen. But that's not too much of an issue: if you're using Windows Phone, any leftovers from Nokia's great navigation software are worth grabbing.
Elsewhere, though, Nokia is keeping for itself. Today it also announced that all its camera apps—Glam Me, Cinemagraph, burst-mode image corrector—will only feature on the Lumia.
Update: The Here app is available for download now.

Lucy Liu surprised the world Thursday when she shared the first photo of her newborn son, Rockwell Lloyd Liu, on Twitter.
The black-and-white photo shows the new mom cradling her son in a rocking chair with the caption, "Introducing the new little man in my life, my son Rockwell Lloyd Liu."
A rep for Liu tells E! News, "I can confirm that Lucy Liu is the proud mother of Rockwell Lloyd Liu, brought into the world via gestational carrier."
The rep adds, "Mom and baby are healthy and happy."
PHOTOS: 2015's first-time moms
In 2010, the 46-year-old actress opened up to USA Today about motherhood saying, "I don't have a settling-down time," adding that that her biological clock is broken. "Someone threw out the battery," she joked.
"I never feel like it's too early or too late for anything," she explained. "I don't ever think for me that this traditional way is the way to go for me because I haven't had a traditional life."
While this will be Liu's first human child, she's already mom to an adorable canine baby–a chocolate lab by the name of Apple, aka "the apple of her eye." New baby and everything, Liu even made time to share a photo of her pup for National Dog Day Wednesday.

Fujifilm is so pleased with the results offered by the viewfinder in its forthcoming Finepix X100 it's uploaded a comprehensive outline of the reasoning behind building it—and why having a hybrid viewfinder will make your photos better.
Fujifilm's created two main viewfinder modes for the X100, with a physical lever on the camera body letting snappers switch between them without fuss. OVF is the optical viewfinder option, giving users a 0.5x magnification, standard 35mm-style optical window of their shot. EVF is the electronic viewfinder as found in most digital cameras.
The cleverness Fujifilm's so proud of is its new take on the prism system, used here to overlay digital camera data from the LCD panel onto the optical image, creating a floating layer of raw data over the top of your accurate, non-processed view of the world.
So you get optical lens quality and clarity combined with today's digital technical assistance. [Fujifilm via Gadget Lab]

In February of this year, a blogger wrote about their experience observing an 11th grade classroom. The post discusses a student performing a poem that mocks a poor woman who encourages her seven children to steal food. When the character confronts police officers and runs into the drug-addict father of her children, she delivers the punch line – "You can have my welfare check!"
According to the post's author, when asked who the poem was referring to, the student said "Minorities, because they're the main ones on welfare."
Besides the obviously skewed viewpoint the poem expresses, it is alarming to note that the girl reading the poem was one of two black students in the classroom – the rest being white.
This unsettlingly common view of cash assistance recipients in the U.S. dates back to the 1976 presidential campaign, when Ronald Reagan popularized a hyperbolic framework for female welfare recipients known as the "welfare queen." The stereotype is sexist, racist, and belittles the legitimacy of cash assistance programs, criminalizing and disparaging those in need.
While the infamous star of the "welfare queen" narrative, cruising around in her "welfare Cadillac" was nowhere to be found by the national media, the fictional picture of lower class minority women abusing the system that gives them monthly "hand-outs" continues to shape the way Americans think about welfare recipients. Moreover, this misconception adversely affects the largest demographic benefitting from cash assistance – children.
Realistically, the numbers of people living in poverty in the United States don't match up with the numbers of people receiving TANF benefits. As we blogged in September, one out of every seven Americans is living in poverty, and 29.9% of female-headed households live below the federal poverty line. In 2008, 20.7% of all U.S. children under age 18 lived in poverty. To frame welfare as a black woman's problem counterproductively divides the poor into defensive racial groups, making it even easier to silence their concerns.
In 2008, TANF distributed its highest percentages of funds to African Americans and white Americans (receiving 34.2% and 31.5% respectively), but 2009 statistics from the National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan show 25.8% of blacks and 25.3% of Hispanics below the poverty line, compared to 12.5% of Asians and only 9.4% of whites. Federal funding is being distributed disproportionately amongst racial demographics, but the stereotype wants us to believe otherwise. Plus, these numbers show, poverty affects all groups of people in the U.S. – it shouldn't be represented as a simple distinction between poor black and poor white people.
Another aggravating aspect of the "welfare queen" myth is the notion that a person receiving TANF benefits scoops them up month by month and uses them not for rent or other necessities, but for illegal drugs or items they couldn't otherwise pay for (hence the "welfare Cadillac"). This couldn't be further from reality. Government-subsidized cash assistance isn't going to make someone rich – in Pennsylvania, the maximum amount a mother with two children can receive in most counties is $403 per month. Recipients have trouble pulling their families out of poverty at all, and end up in the same spot once their benefits expire. Plus, welfare reform laws limit the amount of time a family is eligible to receive benefits, five years being the max. Exceptions to the rule are possible, but they are few and far between.
Assuming that single mothers who rely on cash assistance are addicts, lazy, or otherwise at fault for the inability to stay afloat financially perpetuates unfair stereotypes about black women and women in general. Approximately 90% of Americans receiving cash assistance benefits are single mothers. There are reasons why they cannot free themselves from poverty – the system is broken and failing them. Unemployment rates are bad, but employment opportunities don't equal an even playing field for women. We wrote last month that the gender wage gap didn't significantly change last year, leaving the female-to-male earnings ratio at 0.77, the same as it was in 2008. The situation is worse for most women of color.
Domestic violence keeps women in poverty as well. There is an area of TANF designated to serve victims of domestic violence (the overwhelming majority of which are female), but the Family Violence Option (FVO) is inefficient to the point of being dangerous. Alex DiBranco gives a few examples, such as shelters not being considered a "proper address," paperwork and red tape ruling the process, and sometimes even a lack of respect for the confidentiality and safety for the victims – their information was shared with their abusive partners. In a 2009 survey (PDF) of 600 staff members from TANF and other legal-aid programs, only 14 percent of respondents said that the TANF family violence responses work well in their states, with 43 percent saying that fewer than half of family violence victims were able to access TANF benefits.
Unfortunately, the reality of cash assistance programs in the U.S. has become bleaker in recent weeks, when Congress deferred renewal of the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund. The TANF ECF expired on September 30, although advocates are pushing once again for an extension during the post-election "lame-duck" session in November. The ECF helped to create 250,000 jobs since the start of the recession in September 2007, and now these funds have been cut off. Here in Pennsylvania, cash assistance benefits haven't increased in over twenty years. The way to improve welfare is through advocacy, as legislators clearly aren't going to do it on their own. This post lists some ways to get involved in the fight for equal pay and an end to poverty.

International rugby stars could be on their way to Elmbridge after Cobham Rugby Club was named as an approved team base for the 2015 World Cup this week.
Cobham Sports Association in Fairmile Lane is one of 65 sites across England identified by tournament organisers as capable of hosting a national team.
The application process is ongoing, but England Rugby 2015 believe the facilities at Cobham – significantly redeveloped since 2007, starting with a new clubhouse – are already good enough to provide any competing nation with their team base.
Cobham Sports Association director Anthony Balkwill said: "This is a fantastic accolade for our association, Cobham Rugby Club and its members.
"We are still working with England Rugby 2015 through the process and hope we will be selected for Rugby World Cup 2015."
Cobham Sport Association's bid has been backed by support from ACS Cobham, who, if selected, will provide fitness and swimming pool facilities – to the delight of the school's director of sport David Schuchter.
"It is exciting for our school to be able to play a key role in this bid," he said.
"Our swimming pool and fitness facilities are of an excellent standard."
The borough of Kingston is also on the approved list, having tabled a joint bid
with Kingston University, Nuffield Health, Kingston College and the Holiday Inn.

Last week Age UK launched the second edition of its Economic Tracker . This addition includes the result of the first wave of a survey we have developed to track older peoples' views on the economy and their financial situation.
It received quite a lot of coverage in the media, particularly because of the startling statistic the nearly a quarter of people in their early 50s were worried about losing their home as a result of falling behind with mortgage repayments. Like other age groups many older people are suffering a fall in income in the current period of austerity and this is having an impact on their well-being.
- Over three million people aged 50+ are very worried about the cost of living. This is in the context of rapidly increasing prices for some essential items, especially utilities, which we know have a significant impact on older people's finances.
- Only thirty-eight per cent of 50+ say the future looks good for them
- 35% feel worse off financially compared to last year (see chart below)
Since our first edition, the UK economy and economic policy have given us food for thought. There are concerns, disappointments, and one or two silver linings. As our polling data suggests the economic situation is particularly worrying for many of those approaching retirement, tomorrow's pensioners, who find it more difficult to find a job following redundancy. Our analysis has found that older workers are more likely to be made redundant when compared to those aged between 24 – 49. This translates into higher proportions of older unemployed workers being out of work for longer. Forty-seven per cent of unemployed people aged 50 – 64 have been out of work for 12 months or more compared to thirty-seven per cent of people aged between 25 and 49. The situation of older people is not as bad as those between 16 – 24, but it is important to highlight that all ages are struggling in these tough economic times.
Quite rightly there is a lot of attention on the young unemployed at the moment, but we must ensure that those over 50 are not forgotten. More can be done by the Government and employers to recognise the value of workers over 50 (the experience and skills that come with a longer working life), provide more training and learning for those in later life, and do more to eliminate the ageism that too often occurs in workplaces.

Results tagged ' Tigers '
Miracle Twins Tame the Tigers
Brian Peterson/ Minn Star Tribune
I have to show some love to the new American League Central Champs, the Minnesota Twins, who last night gave all of us another great extended 9163 game) season. And even though they did the same in 2008, this time they came out on winning end of the contest. Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire and his crew did everything possible to take that final step into the 2009 playoffs by defeating the Detroit Tigers in a game that proved that being tenacious and clawing for the jugular can pay off big time in a game. The Tigers and the Twins went back and forth in this contest until Twins centerfielder Carlos Gomez led off the bottom of the 12th inning with a single.
And you know what they say about lead-off runners in a late inning baseball game, they always seem to come back and bite you in the end. Well, last night it took a little bit until Alexi Castilla hit an RBI single to finally send the Tigers back to their lair for a long Winters nap. I have to admit, that was the first time I have ever seen ex-Ray Delmon Young show such pure emotional joy since he found out he was traded out of Tampa Bay. Seriously tho, it is fantastic that the Metrodome will get to host at least a few more baseball games before it finally bows out as the Twins baseball home.
With 187 days until the Opening Day at the new Target Park, the New York Yankees might just be the last opposing team to ever come in and try to put a few balls deep into the baggies in rightfield. But the Yankees might want to be wary of these Twinkies. Sure, like their confectionary cousins, for most of the season they seems rough on the outside and soft in the middle, but they regrouped and pulled off a major coup by even getting to a point to force a one-game free-for-all with the Tigers.
The good news is that the Twins will have at least three more games to their 2009 season. The bad news is they first have to start their journey in the cozy confines of Yankee Stadium on the road starting tomorrow night with Yankee 19-game winner CC Sabathia on the hill. But considering the steep and rugged mountain they scaled in the last 14 days, this next obstacle might seem like an anthill to the Twins.
The minor fact that less than 14 days ago they were not even being mentioned or ever considered for the 2009 postseason, and now they have secured another American League Central title and a chance to compete as another great Cinderella story in 2009. I did not give the Twins enough credit to come out and take the game to the Tigers. I did not expect them to lay down or even give up, but I thought that American League Rookie of the Year candidate, Rick Porcello, who was starting on the mound for the Tigers might have the keys to the playoff bus in this match up.
The way Tiger slugger Miguel Cabrera started off in this game by crushing an 0-2 pitch by Twins starter Scott Baker, it definitely looked like a long, long night for the Twins. But being the pesky and persistent team they are, the Twins saw Matt Tolbert scamper home on a throwing error by Porcello to give the Twins their first run of the night. From there Baker held the Detroit team at bay until the Twins finally began to counter and put another run on the board on a Jason Kubel homer to right-centerfield.
Brian Peterson /Minn Star Tribune
Now the Twins had snuck back into this contest 3-2, and the Twins Bullpen was about to began their long night. With both teams into their respective Bullpens now, the game was about to grind down a bit as the two teams used strategies and match-ups. Gardenhire actually used three different Twins relievers in a span of 13 pitches to get out of the seventh inning with no damage.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Twins shortstop Orlando Cabrerra hit a 2-run shot to leftfield off Tiger reliever Zack Miner that scored Nick Punto and moved the Twins in front for the first time in the game. The Tigers countrered the Twins by also using three relievers in the inning to finally shut down the Twins, who now had a 4-3 lead going into the eighth inning. But that lead did not last long as Magglio Ordonez took the second pitch he saw from reliever Matt Guerrier and deposited it into the leftfield seats to tie the game again.
In the next two innings, both teams used their reliable closers to try and put a clamp on this game and set up a potential one-run victory for either team. Twins closer Joe Nathan came in first and faced ten hitters before giving way to reliever Jesse Cain in the top of the tenth inning. The Tiger went to their closer, Fernando Rodney in the ninth inning, and it was now a battle to see which team blinked first. And it was the Twins who blinked first when Crain hit Detroit pinch hitter Aubrey Huff with a pitch, and he was quickly replaced by pinch runner Don Kelly.
Crain seemed to have gained back some momentum when he struck out Ryan Rayburn for the second out of the inning. But Brandon Inge took his third pitch and hit an RBI-double to deep left to put the Tigers up by one run. But the Twins counter in their half of the inning when after Michael Cuddyer tripled to deep leftfield to lead-off the bottom of the tenth inning.
Now with the tying run just 60 feet from home, the Twins Delmon Young hit a grounder to short for an easy out, then Brendan Harris walked on 5-pitches to put men on the corners for the Twins with one out. Then that Tolbert, who scored earlier for Minnesota on a pitching error came through with an RBI-single to center to knot the score at 5-all. Gardenhire then used three different reliever to get his club out of the eleventh inning without incident. But the calculated manuveurs did not help his club as they went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the eleventh inning.
Twins reliever Bobby Keppel came back out to the hill for the 12th inning, and got in a bit of a jam when he walked Cabrera, then gave up a single to Kelly to centerfield. With two men in scoring position,and with first base open, Gardenhire then intentionally walked Rayburn and load the bases up for Inge. The plan worked perfectly as Inge hit into a fielder's choice and Cabrera was tagged out at home, which put two outs on the board. Gerald Laird then struck out swinging to end theTigers chance.
In the bottom of the 12th, Rodney again took the hill for the Tigers and gave up the lead-off single to Gomez. In all, the inning saw a total of 12-total pitches before Castilla stepped on Home Plate and the parties erupted all over Minnesota. You can bet there will be some tired souls on that plane, but the fatigue will not bother them as they will be riding an emotional high going into Game 1 of the ALDS.
And that can be either a cruel or energy pumping animal to tame right no
w for the Twins. The Yankees have been off since their season ending win in St. Petersburg on Sunday, while the Twins have been grinding it out and are still in the competitve mindset having just concluded an incredible game. It will be exciting to see which end of the spectrum comes out in play of the Twins players' tommorrow night. Adrenaline can be a great equalizer if it is used to their advantage.
From the emotional high of an extra inning victory still pumping through their veins, they run the risk of coming out too hyper, and then they could mishandle important at bats and get behind early. And if they come out stone cold, they could be in for a long night in the Bronx before finally getting a chance to sleep. I am actually looking forward to this first game because I am dying to see which Twins team shows up, and if they are motivated and still energized from the previous night….Sabathia might be the one in for a long, long night. But whatever happens in the next few weeks, the story and the determination of this Twins team can not be denied right now. Count on it!

Great location. Greeting personal but more a process than a real connection and welcome. Breakfast okay. Piono bar nice but wine pricey.
Hotel was comfortable with a small balcony attached to our room. There was a nice outdoor area for a drink in the evening. Breakfast was good and the staff were very kind and helpfull
Everything about this hotel was amazing. Wonderful accommodation, service, staff, food and beverages and location. Beautiful boutique hotel with wonderfully maintained surrounds.
The hotel service and their friendly enthusiasm goes unmatched. We called at 1:30 AM after our flight was cancelled and they went above & beyond to accommodate us.
