Frank by Annette Dunlap
Unlike Julia Tyler, Frances Cleveland comes off as very mature when she marries Grover Cleveland. You can also see that before they have kids, there are some bumps, in the "out of presidency" years. Frances was very involved in the arts, something Cleveland really had no interest in. Yet, overall, she mirrored his politics, seeming to accept them as her own. It is in her second marriage that we do see more political activity, yet she still maintained against suffrage and overt female political roles. Her second husband, Preston, shared more of her interests and seemed fine with her involvement (versus Cleveland who was against it). You can definitely see a different Frances at each point in her life.
The book also highlights Frances' problems with the press and her antipathy to it, much like we see with Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s. The public had the same fascination with the Cleveland kids as they would with the Kennedy kids and also with their young mothers. Frances, with no protection, was also subject to constant use in advertising, without her consent, and something Congress refused to act on.
Frances was heavily involved in charity work and we see her work with the establishment of kindergardens and the Needlework Guild as two, but many more were discussed as well.
I have two grips. First, the authors switches – with seemingly no rhyme or reason – between Frank and Frances. Pick one! Or have a reason for it! "Frank" is her personal nickname, so there are reason to use it….not arguing….just don't like the random switching! Second, the quotes all seem to come from the Gilder manuscript collection (so letters Frances wrote to the Gilders, who were close friends). I'm assuming this is where the best material was, but it seems, given she was big into getting all his letters into the LOC, that we should have a little more variety. But I don't know what the entire research body is, so this might be justified. I just noticed it as I was reading.
I recommend this book – I really had fun reading and getting to know Frances. I know I personally learned a lot and Frances went from the "public image" to a true person.

Thanks for your review of the book "Frank." A couple of pieces of back story to address your critique: I varied between Frank and Frances depending on the time in her life and whom she was communicating with. Mrs. Cleveland went by Frank until she married Cleveland, then assumed the more formal Frances with the public, while remaining Frank with intimates. I agree with you about the heavy reliance on letters from the Gilder collection. Had I not found those letters, there would have been no book. Mrs. Cleveland's most personal letters are in the family's possession, and her descendants have honored her request not to share them with the public. The Gilder material gives the only consistent glimpse of her personal side available at the time of the research. - Annette B. Dunlap

Thanks so much for your response! I appreciate knowing why there was the switching and about the letter situation!

During a public hearing last week on his budget request for the next two years, Attorney General Michael Delaney mentioned how responding to Right-to-Know requests is putting a strain on his staff and his budget.
In the current two-year budget cycle, he said, his office had spent 3,983 staff hours processing requests for information under the state's Right-to-Know Law at a cost to taxpayers of more than $360,000.
"I very much appreciate and firmly support the General Court's policy requiring broad access to governmental records under the Right-to-Know Law," he said Friday.
"But we need to have a serious discussion about properly addressing the increasing costs associated with that public policy choice."
Obviously, further restricting access or making it more difficult for the public to acquire documents in a timely fashion isn't an option. As stated in Article 8 of the state constitution: "Government … should be open, accessible, accountable and responsive. To that end, the public's right of access to governmental proceedings and records shall not be unreasonably restricted."
But there are steps state officials can take to lessen the workload. Here are just a couple — one working within the system, the other a bit more ground-shaking.
• Make more public documents available online so residents don't have to file a Right-to-Know request in the first place.
In fairness, the state has become more proactive in recent years in placing public information online.
Two years ago, for example, the state created TransparentNH (www.nh.gov/transparentnh), a website that provides detailed information on where state government gets its money and where it spends it, including monthly expenditure reports by department.
Still, as Delaney acknowledged last week, if the state made more information available, the public wouldn't have to ask for it, and staff wouldn't have to spend as many hours working to provide it.
Perhaps a detailed review of the most common requests could yield some hints on what additional information to put online.
• Consider blowing up the way the state handles Right-to-Know filings entirely, which is essentially to require the media or the public to file suit in state courts — at their own expense — if they feel they have been denied information inappropriately.
In the state of New York, for example, the Committee on Open Government is responsible for overseeing public records and open meeting laws. The committee consists of 11 members — five representing government, six the public — and is empowered to provide advice to agencies, the public and media.
Since its creation in 1974, the committee has issued more than 24,000 written advisory opinions and hundreds of thousands of others by telephone. Staff members also sponsor educational workshops for government agencies, the news media and the public.
Clearly, such a system is superior to anything at work today in New Hampshire — both for state agencies and the public. Even a scaled-down version of this approach would be preferable to a system that ultimately puts the onus on the media or taxpayers to keep government officials in line.
Perhaps one of the state's newly elected lawmakers would be willing to champion such a cause in the name of transparency and good government. The deadline for House members to file a preliminary bill request is Friday.
Any takers?
(Editor's note: This guest editorial from the Nashua Telegraph follows our own suggestions on Tuesday to address the high costs of meeting right-to-know requests.)

BOSTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Brad Marchand scored in each of the last two periods Thursday and helped push the Boston Bruins to their fourth straight win, a 6-3 victory over Edmonton.
The defending Stanley Cup champions continued to rebound from a slow start in which they lost seven of their first 10 games.
The Bruins let a two-goal lead slip away in the opening period, but Marchand put Boston ahead to stay with a power-play goal 3:50 into the second.
Marchand produced the game's final goal with 2:03 left in the third, 44 seconds after Milan Lucic had scored on the power play to give the Bruins a 5-3 lead.
Johnny Boychuk and Jordan Caron tallied 1:44 apart in the first period to put the Bruins in front, but Edmonton came back to tie it before the period was out on goals by Ryan Smyth and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Tuukka Rask made 27 saves to get the win. It was his second victory in five appearances this season.
Devan Dubnyk gave up all six Boston goals on 28 shots.

Japanese Culture
Overview of the Japanese Language
While not always the case, currently, the Japanese use three different alphabets for writing plus the Latin alphabet. These four different scripts are often mixed together. In fact, it's not uncommon to see all of these alphabets on the same page. The three Japanese alphabets are hiragana, katakana, and the borrowed Chinese characters called kanji. Japanese can also be written in the Latin alphabet. This romanization is often used by foreign speakers who haven't mastered hiragana, katakana, and kanji. It's also often used when working on a computer.
The word order of Japanese is determined by the kana, or the pronunciation of words, rather than the symbols. Overall, there are 46 sounds in Japanese, each represented by its own katakana and hiragana.
Combinations of Alphabets
Look at any piece of Japanese writing and you'll see mostly sentences made up of both hiragana and kanji. Kanji, the borrowed Chinese symbols, are used mainly for nouns, adjective stems, and verb stems. These verb stems will have hiragana attached to them for verb tense. Hiragana will also appear throughout the sentences as particles, words that are, more or less, the equivalent of English prepositions (although they do serve other purposes as well).
You may see katakana used on the page as well. Katakana is generally only used for loan words, or words that have been introduced to Japan from outside languages. Brand names like "McDonalds," foreign foods like "taco," and foreign terms like "déjà vu" will be written in katakana.
Besides these uses, you'll also see kanji used for names, hiragana used for Japanese words that don't have an associated kanji, and katakana for onomatopoeias, words whose kanji aren't often used, and for scientific terms. Also, you may see small hiragana written over a kanji. These hiragana, called furigana, are used to indicate how to read and pronounce the kanji. Many kanji have different meanings and pronunciations depending on context, so furigana are often necessary to avoid confusion.
The Latin alphabet is used only for acronyms, the use of Japanese names and words meant to be read by non-Japanese speakers, and company/product names. There are exceptions to all of these rules, of course, and sometimes Japanese writers will use hiragana or katakana instead of kanji to call attention to a word, to prevent any confusion, or simply because they prefer it over the kanji.
Text Direction
Japanese is traditionally written vertically and from right to left. However, typed or computer-printed Japanese is usually done horizontally since it's easier for printers and computer programs to work horizontally.
The modern Japanese writing system has its beginnings in the fourth century. It was around this time that written Chinese, the kanji characters, appeared in Japan. Before this, there was no true native Japanese writing system—there were some scrapes of records, but nothing definitive. Most were pictographs found on cave walls or on various primitive forms of pottery.
While the Japanese aristocracy originally learned kanji to read Chinese, over the years, a form of writing called kanbun developed. Kanbun was loosely based on Chinese grammar, but it involved some special marks to indicate the Japanese meaning of some kanji. The Kojiki, the earliest history of Japan, was written using kanbun.
However, it wasn't until sometime around 750 AD that a true form of Japanese writing emerged. The man'yugana made use of kanji, but only the phonetic aspects of them, not their actual meaning. Man'yugana was used to write poetry originally. Over time, Man'yugana actually branched off into two different systems. The two systems would evolve into the hiragana and katakana alphabets over time.
Many words from China had no Japanese equivalent, so these words entered Japanese with little change. However, some kanji and Japanese words meant the same thing or concept. When this occurred, the kanji ended up with two readings, the on-yomi and kun-yomi reading. The reading depends on the word and the context it's used in.
Language Reforms
The first major language reform can in the Meiji era during the nineteenth century. Thanks to a number of education reforms, literacy was quickly growing among the Japanese. At the same time, many new words were entering the language. Because of the increased literacy rate, many of the new words were written in colloquial styles instead of the classical style that the aristocracy and courts often used.
Because many of the lower class were just learning kanji during this time, one of the most debated issues was the complexity of written Japanese. With thousands of kanji to learn just to be able to read basic books, many thought kanji use should be limited.

During the Abe Lincoln canvass, candidates for the presidency were much interested in bonding emotionally with the working class.
They were even more interested in displaying their military badges and ribbons. At one point, Lincoln became so put-off by the imposture that he openly ridiculed, as only Lincoln could do, the grand military hustle of the Democrats. Lincoln's own military service in the Black Hawk War, three enlistments of about 30 days each, was refreshingly free of heroism. Following the hostilities, Lincoln's horse was stolen. He and his companion, George Harrison, were compelled to walk and canoe back to New Salem.
Lincoln, of course, was born in a log cabin, though he managed to ease his way into a comfortable middle class berth as a fairly prosperous lawyer.
George Washington -- net worth: $525 million, a cool, half billion in in today's mostly worthless currency – rates as America's most wealthy president. Next in line is President Thomas Jefferson, net worth $212 million; followed by Teddy Roosevelt, net worth $125 million; followed by Andy Jackson, the father of the Modern Democratic Party, at a net worth of $119 million; followed by James Madison, net worth $101 million; followed by Lyndon Johnson, net worth $98 million; followed by Herbert Hoover, net worth $75 million; followed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, net worth $60 million; followed by Bill Clinton, net worth $38 million; with John Kennedy bringing up the rear as the 10th most wealthy U.S. President. Mr. Kennedy did not inherit his daddy's wealth; most of his income and property came to him through a family trust shared with his siblings. Among the top ten wealthiest Presidents, there are but two Republicans in the bunch, and none of this great wealth, much of it held by Democrats who married well, was a bar to the presidency.
If the Father of the Country ever felt the need to put himself forward to electors as a chip off the old middle class block, he manfully resisted the temptation. Jefferson thought of himself as an enlightenment aristocrat; ditto Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution. FRD's wealth came to him through marriage and inheritance, and when he ran into difficulties with creditors, his mommy bailed him out. For the notable Democratic presidents listed above, great wealth was no bar to public service.
Here in Connecticut, the state's all Democratic congressional delegation is studded with multimillionaires. Like Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy, U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal married well; his wife's father owns the Empire State building in New York, among other properties. Though U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro often points to her humble roots, she also is a multi-millionaire, and U.S. Representative Jim Himes made his millions on Wall Street not Main Street.
Military service remains for some politicians a springboard into politics. When Mr. Blumenthal sought to inflate his military record during his many campaigns as attorney general, he backed into a truth grinder, and it was discovered that, unlike the more modest Lincoln, Mr. Blumenthal had forseveral years been stealing valor from servicemen who had fought in Vietnam.
His opponent in the race for the U.S. Senate, Linda McMahon, financed her previous campaign from her private fortune. Mrs. McMahon's great wealth did not come to her through marriage. She and her husband, both bankrupted at one point, earned their riches though enterprise and hustle. And though she never claimed to have been born in a log cabin, Mrs. McMahon's hardscrabble trajectory does not resemble that of the one percenters who ascended to the presidency. Of course, the differences between Mrs. McMahon and Mr. Lincoln are too apparent not to have been noticed by Connecticut's vigilant media: One was the CEO of a wrestling empire and the other was a politically astute lawyer from Sangamon County in Illinois well known in the frontier towns for his wrestling prowess.
Claims of modest birth still play well on the stump, even among millionaires operating outside the shadow of the largely mythical log cabin. A military record helps. The anti-authoritarianism lying at the center of libertarianism still tugs at the heart strings, as does an American as apple pie anti-clericalism, which lies at the center of the war on Catholicism being waged by Planned Parenthood and Connecticut's Democratic congressional delegation, 100 percent of whom have received from the abortion provider a rating of 100 percent on votes important to Planned Parenthood's money prospects.
Most political claims are gilded hooey, sometimes honeyed hooey, but always entertaining. It's best during national and state campaigns to take the advice of Mark Twain and swallow the campaign braggadocio with "a ton of salt," and then, when slipping into the slough of despond, reach for Henry Mencken: "A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in… A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier."

PSU and OHSU join forces
A NEW RESEARCH and educational powerhouse spanning the distance from the Park Blocks to Marquam Hill is ready to make an impact for Oregonians.
Portland State University and Oregon Health & Science University recently announced a formal alliance following a yearlong study.
A 24-member task force, appointed by the presidents of both schools, investigated the best ways the two universities could work together to achieve excellence in education and research while leveraging limited state resources. A merger was considered, but the task force determined that the high up-front costs would divert focus and funds from the universities' core educational and public service missions. An alliance, on the other hand, will result not only in better programs, but also in cost savings and increased revenue, the task force found.
Drop into space
Experiments that require a near weightless environment—like those performed in space—are now possible in the University's new 102-foot tall drop tower in the engineering building. The new tower supports collaborative research with NASA.
A highlight of its recommendations was a proposal for a joint School of Public Health that will bring PSU's community health program together with OHSU's health practitioners and disease researchers. Other proposals include producing a combined research portfolio of more than $450 million per year, and coordinating K-12 science education outreach to grow interest in health care and science careers. Continued collaboration in health-related science and engineering fields, as well as the up-and-coming bioinformation field, are also planned.
The two universities, together with Oregon State University, are already collaborating on a new life science building in Portland's South Waterfront district that will house OHSU's School of Medicine, OSU's School of Pharmacy, and PSU's Departments of Biology and Chemistry among other programs.

Combining the Peace Corps and education
GROWING UP in Portland, Linda Centurion MS '07 never knew anyone who had served in the Peace Corps. But the Catholic school graduate hungered for international work experience and the opportunity to immerse herself in another culture.
The two years Centurion spent in Paraguay as a special education teacher for the Peace Corps provided just that opportunity. It also taught her what it was like to live on $112 a month, take bucket baths, and walk an hour to teach in a one-room schoolhouse.
Now a counselor at Barlow High School in Gresham, Centurion is telling her students about a new program at Portland State that combines Peace Corps experience with earning a master's degree.
The University recently joined the Peace Corps Master's International program as an educational partner—the only one in Portland. Students spend one to two years in school and another 27 months as a Peace Corps volunteer. Applicants must first apply for PSU graduate admission and then apply to the Peace Corps, which can be a long process.
The process is worth it, says Centurion, who describes her service in the Peace Corps as "life changing." She is one of 662 PSU graduates who have volunteered since 1961.
Read about some of their experiences and see art and photos that Centurion and others brought back at an exhibit celebrating "Peace Corps: Fifty Years of Service," March 1 through June 12 at the Oregon Historical Society, 1200 SW Park, Portland.
These pieces from Guatemala and Samoa were brought back by Peace Corps volunteers who are sharing their mementos and their stories at an Oregon Historical Society exhibit, March 1 through June 12. Peace Corps volunteers may now earn a master's degree through a new PSU program
Named for a rabbi and pioneering scholar
RABBI JOSHUA STAMPFER forged new territory in 1961 when he taught PSU's first Judaic studies class. Now, the University has named a new Judaic studies professorship after Stampfer, who led Congregation Neveh Shalom in southwest Portland for four decades.
A new professorship honors longtime Portland Rabbi Joshua Stampfer.
The professorship will be the Pacific Northwest's only designated professorship in Israel studies and the fourth tenure-line faculty position in the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies.
"For me, the fulfillment of the professor of Israel Studies is truly the realization of a dream," Stampfer said. "A university campus is the best venue for measured dialogue, debate, learning, and understanding, especially concerning complex topics like Israel."
Stampfer, now rabbi emeritus at Neveh Shalom, has left his mark on local and national organizations. He is a board member of the National Peace Now Organization as well as an appointee on the Oregon Government Ethics Commission. In 1983, he was one of the earliest visitors to Kaifeng, China, where he met with descendants of the ancient Jewish community there.
The Judaic Studies program at the University was established eight years ago through a Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation $1 million challenge grant. Students in the program examine all aspects of the history, religion, culture, and social and political foundations of the Jewish people.

Chadron State College's health professions department has received a $6,250 grant for faculty-led, undergraduate research into public health. Jill Mack, director of Health Professions Programs, including the Rural Health Opportunities Program and Public Health Early Admission Student Track at CSC said she is excited about the funding from the Rural Futures Institute.
Mack will serve as the Site Coordinator for the two-year grant. Dr. Patrik Johansson, executive director of the Rural Health Education Network authored the grant and will serve as the principal investigator for the project which involves four colleges in Nebraska.
CSC Associate Professor in the Physical and Life Sciences department, Ann Buchmann, will be the faculty lead for the project which will focus on service to the community. Kim Engel, director of Panhandle Public Health will represent her agency as the local partner in the research.
Mack said three possible research projects are being considered and by late spring or early summer the selection of the final project will be made and research will begin.
Students involved in the project will be required to write reflection papers that link the service experience with the learning. Buchmann will determine responsibilities for the students involved including literature reviews, survey development, interviews of subject, data analysis and manuscript preparation. The grant funds may be used toward student stipends and research materials.

In preparation for the first visit with our Clinical Associate Regina Tosca, LICSW please complete the following forms and bring them to the session:
Informed Consent
Each of our Clinical Associates is a licensed practitioner. As required by licensure, treatment under a licensed practitioner is confidential. This form explains limitations to that confidentiality required by licensure. It also outlines the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship and co-responsibility for treatment outcomes.
This form outlines The Viva Center's financial policies. Here at Viva, we offer special accommodations to assist with cash flow and to simplify payments. As a professional courtesy, clients opting to pay with a credit card are not billed until the end of the month, although fees are technically due at the time of service. This allows time for insurance to send reimbursement closer to the time of payment.
Client Questionnaire
This form serves 2 purposes: It helps to capture the baseline experience when beginning treatment, allowing for an opportunity to take stock of current status. It also helps the clinician gather important background information without taking extra time in the first session. The first page of this form is required, and the others are supplemental. It is fine to exercise the decision to leave out any areas of the form. Please keep in mind any areas elected not to be disclosed at this time may be relevant to treatment outcomes.
Credit Card Authorization Form
This form is only required if electing to use a credit card to pay for services. Conveniently, this form only needs to be filled out once and is stored securely. Payment with cash or checks is also accepted.

J-Lo show in Turkmenistan reflects ignorance
She used to have a little, now she has a lot -- of money for entertaining the leader of the oppressive regime in Turkmenistan. That doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Yes, Jennifer Lopez sang happy birthday to Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, leader of the severely repressive Turkmen regime.
If you ever doubted the importance of learning history or geography -- or Google -- this should dispel it.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, or at least to awkwardly confuse John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy in the middle of their presidential campaigns. Those who don't learn geography are doomed to invade small countries by mistake and stay way too long because, once you're there, it is awkward to admit that you thought this was Libya.
Those who learn neither history nor geography wind up reprising Jennifer Lopez's performance for the president of Turkmenistan, whose regime is noted for its human rights violations, the cult of personality around its leader and its strict control of the media. Freedom House often lists it as among the "Worst of the Worst," citing its lack of representative democracy, reports from Doctors Without Borders that it may be concealing a "dangerous public health situation" and its lack of religious freedom.
The leader reportedly hates dogs and cats and, as The Washington Post's Max Fisher reported, escalated from ordering the slaying of stray cats and dogs to insisting that people's pets be put to death. And that's just scratching the surface.
In other words, this is exactly the sort of person you want to be serenading on his birthday at the behest of China National Petroleum Corp.
Huffington Post reported that Lopez has been trying to excuse herself on the grounds that the location was vetted by her staff members, who had never heard of Turkmenistan and figured it was fine -- no, I'm sorry, who say that "had there been knowledge of human rights issues [of] any kind, Jennifer would not have attended."
Had there been any knowledge of any kind, full stop, she also might not have attended. Heck, had there been any Googling of any kind. Probably the guy in charge of vetting it just shrugged and said, "Well, if the plane can find it, we'll worry about it then. But I don't think it really exists. On all my elementary school geography tests, I put that Turkmenistan was a place in your heart."
This is what happens when you combine vast ignorance and vast money. Those two are at the root of pretty much every awkward celebrity performance for hideous dictatorial regimes, on the grounds that their People Who Are Supposed To Know Things were too busy rubbing money all over their torsos to type Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov correctly into Google. Probably the vetting team assumed that if it could not locate the place on a map, there were no human rights violations there. This is not a safe bet -- we cannot locate anything on a map.
But Lopez could find her way to the bank.

My last post was part 1 of what I planned to make at least a 2 part post, that was basically a year ago. I had outlined how I was researching the 'de la Fraga' surname in Luarca, Asturias and that a few of the children's baptisms indicated that the father, Manuel Ramon, actually came from Frejulfe. The records indicated that Frejulfe was located in the diocese of Mondoñedo and was part of the Valle de Oro.
Starting Point
According to the information that I had from Manuel Ramon Prieto de la Fraga children's baptism, he was born in Frejulfe, (diocese of Mondoñedo) about 1740. The childrens' baptism record also indicated that Manuel Ramon's parents were: Juan Prieto de la Fraga and Theresa Fernandez (see previous post).
Research Findings
According to the Guia de la Iglesia de España. Frexulfe has the following records: Frejulfé, Valle de Oro (year indicated is the start year of that record type) Baptisms - 1605 Confirmations - 1778 Marriages - 1608 Deaths/Burials - 1618.
Since the diocesan archive has not been microfilmed or digitized the records are only available on site. I asked a colleague and friend if they could do a look up for me, and much to my delight they sent me the following transcription, the marriage record of Manuel Ramon's parents.
En diez y nuebe días del mes de Diciembre del año de mil setecientos y treinta y quatro despues de haber precedido las tres moniciones que el Sto Concilio de Trento dispone ansí en esta Parroquia de Sta Eulalia de Frejulfe como también en la de San Jorge del Quadramon asistí personalmente al matrimonio que se celebró in facie eclesia entre Juan da Fraga, hijo legítimo de Pedro da Fraga ahora difunto y de su mujer Antonia Fernandez, también difunta, vecinos de San Jorge del Quadramon, a Theresa Fernández, hija legítima de Antonio da Lança y de su muger María Fernández, mis feligreses. Fueron testigos de dicho matrimonio Roque Freyre, Diego da Fraga y Domingo Fernández, mis feligreses y no recibieron las vendicones de la Yglesia y para que conste lo firmo dicho día mes y año retro scripto.
Firma: Christobal Martínez Coronado.
We had estimated that Manuel Ramon had been born in Frejulfe about 1740, notice that the marriage occurs in 1734. It should also be recognized, and possibly a post for a future day, that Theresa Fernandez, mother of Manuel Ramon, took her mother's surname. This is quite common during this time period in Galicia - daughters taking on their mother's surname. I should also point out that I am still unsure where the 'Prieto' comes into Manuel Ramon's surname...further research on the family will need to occur to uncover that mystery. I'm guessing it will become more apparent in future research.
The parish records for Frejulfe were searched from 1730 to 1751 (when the volume ended), and Manuel Ramon's baptism record was not found. Three of this siblings were found. Below is one of the parish records found - Manuel Ramon's brother, Francisco (baptism dated 19 Aug 1735).
Two other siblings of Manuel Ramon were found (Mariña - 1737 and Maria Francisca -1739). Given the date of the marriage and baptisms of his siblings, it is still believed that Manuel Ramon was born about 1740 or 1741. At this point we are still trying to figure out why his baptism record does not appear. The most likely explanation was that he was baptized in a neighboring parish.
The dates, places, and names fit together well. Although Manuel Ramon's baptism record hasn't been found up to this point, the other family records piece the family together. To fully understand this research case further research will have to be done in Mondoñedo - a trip that I could really use right now...

i was wondering how i can setup php with apache the right way. I have installed both, and i need to run some scripts including bash scripts.
To do this i need to type a plaintext password for the user, but the file also must be readable for php, and therefore the file permissions are 644, this allows anyone to read the file including the password.
Code: Select all
$amount=shell_exec("vmrun <options> <user> <password> > <file> | wc -l");
When i remove the read permissions, php cannot read the script.
Any suggestions ?

Camp Blanding wildfire to grow to 700 acres
CAMP BLANDING, Fla. – A wildfire that started Thursday on Camp Blanding grew outside the containment area Friday, according to the Florida Forest Service.
A spokeswoman said fire crews were conducting burnout operations to hold the fire on the impact range property. Once the burning is complete, the fire size will be around 700 acres, she said. It was 150 acres Thursday night.
The fire is located two miles north of State Road 21 near Varnes Lake. It was on the impact range at Camp Blanding, which is inaccessible to heavy equipment do to the live ammunition that may be present, the spokeswoman said.
There are no structures in danger.
Northwest winds may cause smoke to drift toward State Road 21, and drivers are urged to use caution in the area.

The Sex Talk and Your Teen: What's Porn Got To Do With It?
Teen parenting expert Rosalind Wiseman offers advice on having "the sex talk" with kids for Planned Parenthood's Let's Talk Month.
Pornography: It's the reason kids are uncomfortable talking to their parents about sex.
That's what immediately came to mind when I read the Planned Parenthood and Family Circle survey finding that while half of all parents are comfortable having the sex talk with their kids, only 18% of teens said they feel very comfortable having the sex talk with their parents.
I thought this because I regularly talk to tweens and teens. I know how common it is for them to have questions about sex, so they type "kissing" into YouTube and a few seconds later they've clicked onto a porn site. I know that boys regularly show each other favorite porn sites—like their dads did with Playboys and Penthouses a generation ago.
According to Family Safe Media, the average age at which children are first exposed to pornography is 11—earlier than most parents think they need to talk to their kids about sexual decision making. Ninety percent of kids between 8 and 16 have seen pornography, usually while doing their homework.
Before you think, "Where are the parents?" or "Why don't those parents have filtering devices on their computers?" realize that both questions are irrelevant. Kids have regular access to devices that allow them to research and share topics they're curious about. And sex has always been and always will be a topic kids are curious about.
If you're a parent and don't know any of this, you're going to approach the sex conversation from an entirely different context than your child. Imagine: You get over your discomfort and sit down with your child to impart your deeply held values about healthy sexual decisions—without keeping in mind that there's a good possibility they've seen graphic, up-close sexual intercourse and oral sex.
Of course kids don't want to tell us they've seen these images. What are they supposed to say? If they admit what they've seen, you're probably going to respond by asking in a very intense, accusatory tone, "Who showed you those? Where were you? What exactly did you see?" They don't want to have that conversation with you. Plus, they think if they tell you, you'll react by taking away their phones or computers.
You can have all the filters on your computer you want, block the TV and take away their phones—it won't matter. You can't take away every portal to the Internet in your child's life.
This is what I say: "I know that if you want to see those pictures, you're going to figure out how to do it. I could take away every computer in the house and every phone and it wouldn't make a difference. Here's why I don't want you to watch porn. It brings you into a really complicated world where you're being exposed to really messed-up images and messages about how men and women interact sexually. It's also all fake. It's a performance where women are supposed to look a certain way and always like whatever the guy wants to do and the guy never cares about the woman he's with. I think you deserve to have more accurate information than what you'd see there. But you do have the right to have information about sex in a way that's accurate and appropriate for you. If you have questions about sex, I want you to ask me or another adult who we both think is a good person to answer your questions."
As a mom, it upsets me that I have to raise my children in a world where pornography is readily accessible to them. As a teacher, it upsets me that porn is giving our girls and boys unrealistic and often very unhealthy messages about sexuality that will influence them to some degree. But as upsetting as it is, we have to face what our world is like and respond in an informed way. If we don't, we can't be relevant in our children's lives when they need our guidance the most.

Wrong headline. Should be 'Despite Bobby Jenks' latest meltdown, Sox take series finale."
BTW, here's Aaron Gleeman:
Bobby Jenks did his best to blow it [5-1 lead] in the ninth inning, allowing three runs to score and putting two runners on base without recording an out, but then Indians manager Manny Acta went into small-ball mode.Acta ordered a bunt, which a) gave a struggling pitcher his first out, and b) opened up first base so the White Sox could intentionally walk the Indians' best hitter, Shin-Soo Choo. Jenks then struck out Austin Kearns and got Russell Branyan to fly out, escaping with a 5-4 win.
Guillen was probably sitting in the clubhouse, watching on television and thanking Acta for the help.

With chaos seeming to overwhelm all aspects of health care, Barack Obama's biggest problem may be that fate -- and a decision of his own that made sense at the time -- have conspired to rob him of three vital allies that could have radically transformed the politics of health care reform, at least in the Senate.
The word in Washington is that the saddest irony in the battle over health care reform is that that the man who has championed the issue in the Senate for forty years, Sen. Ted Kennedy, is now too ill to actually give aid to a president committed to getting a new policy done.
On the Democratic side, there's a belief that the intra-party war over the public option and costs could have been surmounted with Ted Kennedy holding court trying to get something done. Among Republicans, on the Sunday talk shows, both Orrin Hatch and John McCain suggested that, liberal as he may be, Kennedy had both the legislative heft and the personal gravitas within the chamber to be able to get members of the GOP to at least listen.
U.S. & World
There's also another person who could have had the power to sway votes in the Democratic caucus: The man Obama wanted to run point on health care from the start -- former Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
Recall that Obama originally gave Daschle a huge portfolio: Even though he would have secretary of health and human services, Daschle also would have been named "health care czar" -- making him also a de facto member of the White House staff with the ability to go right in and speak directly with the president. Perhaps not since Henry Kissinger had the dual titles of secretary of state and national security adviser would one person have had such clout.
Most importantly, having been majority leader, Daschle knows the ins and outs of the Senate like nobody's business. Being the Senate, there are still quite a few members on both sides of the aisle that are there from his tenure running the place. He could get their temperature -- and figure out a deal that might even get a a handful of Republican votes. At the very least, Daschle could have made them felt that they had a place at the table. And, for the Democrats, Daschle might have had the ability to figure out how to get around -- or cajole -- Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus.
Late payment of certain taxes and the questions raised by his seven years lobbying forced Daschle to withdraw his nomination in February. While he still gets the White House's ear from the outside, a lot of the communicating that he's doing may or may not be on behalf of various clients. It's not the same.
Daschle can't give the inside guidance and confidential conversation to the senators as he could have before. If Kennedy's absence makes for a spiritual void in the health care debate, Daschle's creates a tactical vacuum that, sorry, Gov. Kathleen Sibelius -- the new HHS secretary -- just can't fill.
There's also one other person missing person that could have provided Obama with a valuable resource: his current secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton. At the time, Obama's selecting his chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination seemed so out-of-the-box, yet brilliant that few could really criticize it. The offer made Obama look magnanimous in giving State to a political foe, pragmatic in recognizing that Clinton's star power could be a good diplomatic weapon to launch on the world, but cunning as well by removing a once and possibly future rival from the domestic political scene.
And, in fact, the Clintons have been a significant force in international relations. Problem is, its on the domestic front where Hillary could be a powerful force right now. Even though she was not a major committee or sub-committe chairman, Hillary Clinton had risen far in terms of influence within the Senate. Republicans who previously loathed her spoke openly about how hard a working senator she had become.
Had she stayed in the Senate, she might have been able to have been the one to help fight for the administration's priorities, with Ted Kennedy ill. And even though she lost to Obama, her own desire to erase the significant blot on her record -- the ill-fated '93-'94 health plan -- could have driven her to be a real partner with Obama in getting something out of the Senate.
Three people who could have made a difference on this major policy are lost to the president. Time will tell if their absences prove fatal to Democratic hopes for health care reform.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (14-10-6, 48 points, West #2) fell to the San Jose Earthquakes (11-11-8, 41 points, West #7) 2-1 at a sold-out Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night, allowing two goals from FW Steven Lenhart in the space of three minutes in the first half to drop its second straight match.
All three goals came within a three minute span in the first half, with Lenhart putting the Quakes on top in the 18th, RSL MF Javier Morales equalizing in the 19th and Lenhart scoring the winner in the 21st.
Lenhart gave San Jose the lead in the 18th minute. MF Cordell Cato collected a ball on the right flank, whipping a ball in that Lenhart got on the end of at the top right corner of the six yard box. RSL GK Nick Rimando had no chance to stop the ensuing header, which Lenhart powered home inside the near post.
RSL responded immediately, with Morales finishing Captain Kyle Beckerman's corner kick to knot things at 1-1 in the 19th minute. Beckerman served in an in swinging ball from the right corner that flew just over a gaggle of players at the near post and fell to an unmarked Morales at the top of the six. The Argentine playmaker took advantage of the opportunity, finishing his left-footer into the top left corner with his first touch.
Things didn't stay level for long, though, as Lenhart scored the game's third goal in three minutes to put San Jose up 2-1 in the 21st. MF Shea Salinas served a set piece in from the left side, finding Lenhart at the right post for a nearly identical finish to his first goal.
RSL controlled much of the rest of the opening frame, keeping the ball in San Jose's defensive third for long stretches and frequently pushing the ball out wide for crosses – and corners – into the box. Unfortunately, the Claret-and-Cobalt couldn't quite break down San Jose's compact defense and headed into the half down a goal.
Rimando made a big stop in the 49th minute to keep RSL within one. San Jose DF Jordan Stewart curled a cross in from the left flank, finding FW Chris Wondolowski at the penalty spot. The 2012 MLS Budweiser Golden Boot Winner directed his header on frame, forcing Rimando to palm the ball over the bar with a fine reflex save.
Claret-and-Cobalt Head Coach Jason Kreis injected the RSL attack with a bit of new blood in the 59th minute, bringing MF Luis Gil on for MF Khari Stephenson and FW Olmes Garcia on for FW Devon Sandoval.
Despite RSL continuing to control possession, it was the Earthquakes that had the next chance, nearly doubling their advantage off of a counterattack in the 67th minute. MF Rafael Baca picked up a loose ball just inside his own half and took off on the break, racing down the right side for a 2-v-1 with Wondolowski against RSL DF Chris Wingert. Wingert did a fine job of playing both Baca and Wondolowski, closing Baca down at just the right moment to prevent him from finding Wondolowski and to force him into a shot from a tight angle that Rimando saved.
RSL really started to push following the Baca chance, nearly equalizing through Wingert in the 73rd minute. The veteran left back collected a lay off at the top of the box, taking a touch and lacing a right-footer just wide of the left post from 20 yards out.
The Claret-and-Cobalt had another good look at an equalizer in the 82nd. Morales slipped substitute FW Robbie Findley through on the left side, allowing the speedy striker to run onto the ball just inside the area before taking a touch and whizzing a 12-yard left footer just wide of the near post upper 90.
RSL desperately searched for an equalizer in the game's dying moments, but Findley's near miss was the team's last good opportunity. The RSL first-team will return to action next Saturday, Sept. 28, travelling north of the border to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC at 5:00 p.m. MT at BC Place. Next weekend's match will be broadcast live on CW30, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D FM/1600 AM.
The Real Salt Lake Reserves will close out the MLS Reserve League season on Tuesday, when they'll host the Chivas USA Reserves at 11:00 a.m. MT at America First Field in Sandy, Utah. Tuesday's Reserve League contest is open to the public and admission is free.

Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 1-2 SJ
- RSL marked its sixth Rio Tinto Stadium sellout of the 2013 season with a crowd of 20,504. The standing room only sellout was the fourth largest crowd ever at Rio Tinto Stadium.
- RSL MF Javier Morales' 19th minute goal gave him eight this MLS regular season. The Argentine continued his success against San Jose, notching his seventh goal in 13 career regular season games against the Quakes.
- With tonight's 2-1 loss, RSL still remains one win away from reaching the 15-win and 50-point plateaus for the fourth straight year. That would be an accomplishment that no MLS club has achieved in the post-shootout era. Despite the loss, RSL remain second in the Western Conference and Supporters' Shield races with 48 points. Seattle Sounders FC, which leads both the Western Conference and Supporters' Shield races, have a chance to put more distance between themselves and RSL with a win or tie against the LA Galaxy tonight.
- San Jose FW Steven Lenhart scored two goals within three minutes (the 18th and 21st minutes), marking the fastest pair of conceded goals by RSL since July 2012. RSL has now lost back-to-back games for the second time this season, with the first pair of consecutive losses coming to Sporting Kansas City on July 20 and at the New York Red Bulls on July 27.
- Tonight's loss marks RSL's third defeat at home in the 2013 season. It is also San Jose's third ever win in Utah all-time.
- RSL's all-time leading goal scorer, FW Alvaro Saborio, was missing from tonight's lineup due to a left calf strain suffered while he was on international duty with Costa Rica.

It might not have been as saucy as a collection of sexy images, but it still makes for a tale of Christmas heartbreak: according to a report on Fox, a boy from Talladega woke up on December 25 to find a Nintendo 3DS box waiting for him. Only there was no 3DS inside.
Instead, it was... a box full of rocks. Wrapped in tissue paper. While you might think it's a Craigslist scam, it's not; instead, the boy's mother bought it from Walmart, where it seems this is a thing, with scammers buying goods, taking them out, stuffing the boxes with heavy substitutes then returning them, busy/lazy staff not even bothering to check the contents of the goods.
All's well that ends well, though, as once local Walmart staff were informed the boy was quickly given a real 3DS to play with.

Super Easy Potato Puffs with Feta and Tarragon
So. We got married just a week ago! It was perfectly imperfect and wonderfully fun and thank you all for all the well-wishes - I promise I'll post some more photos and recipes from it soon. Nelle was a pretty flowergirl, don't you think?
We returned home with some exciting new toys for our house - and in particular, kitchen (!!) - as well as a cupboard full of potatoes, a fridge full of feta and a garden full of tarragon.
(Also a garage full of wine, but I hardly consider that a problem).
They say that snipping your herbs off the top makes them bushier and thicker, and I wanted to make my little tarragon trimmings sing, so I perused my cookbook collection for ideas. (Stephanie Alexander was particularly helpful ... )
Tarragon loves potatoes, cheese, eggs, and mayonnaise.
Why not just use all of the above?
Oh yes.
I have to preface this recipe with a note - there are so many recipes out there where you grate the potato, salt it, squeeze it, etc, then mix it with yummy things like feta and mint. And it somehow magically cooks up perfectly ...
I've never gotten the shredded potato thing to work. So we're doing these little guys mashed. Because potatoes are happy food, and stress is not allowed.
And thanks, Mom, for sharing these with me. I love you.
Amanda xx
The time
5-10 min prep + 20 min baking
The ingredients
2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup mild feta, crumbled
2 jumbo organic eggs
2-3 Tbs fresh tarragon or chives, or both
3/4 tsp sea salt
+ storebought or homemade mayonnaise, garlic, tarragon + chives, to serve
*use organic ingredients when you can
The process
1. Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Line a pizza stone or baking tray with baking paper.
2. Mix the potatoes, feta, eggs, herbs and sea salt together into a thick paste. Using your hands, form into small (~5cm) balls and place onto the tray 2cm apart. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 min, or until golden brown.
3. For the sauce, mix 2 Tbs mayonnaise + 1/2 tsp minced garlic + a sprinkling of extra herbs. Serve with potato puffs.
The cost
My cheeky estimate would include potatoes that needed using up, and feta that needed using up (so ... super-cheap). If you bought stuff fresh for this, and used organic, it would still just cost you $6-$8.

Paris-Dhaka, 18 February 2013. The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its member organization in Bangladesh, Odhikar, remain deeply concerned one year after the adoption of an amendment to the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2009 (ATA) approving capital punishment for some crimes. While no death sentences have so far been given, the ATA continued to be used in 2012 as a tool to perpetrate human rights abuses against political opponents, journalists and other dissenting voices.
"The government should repeal or at least amend the Anti-Terrorism Act and conduct a comprehensive review of existing legislation to ensure their compliance with international human rights standards relating to counter-terrorism", said Adilur Rahman Khan, Secretary of Odhikar.
"Authorities have the occasion to prove their good will by extending an invitation for a country visit by the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism", added Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH president.
In the past, FIDH and Odhikar have raised their long-standing concerns that the vague definitions of 'terrorist activities' under the ATA opened the legislation to potential abuse. The monitoring work of Odhikar has for long indicated a large potential for abuse and violations of due process in the criminal justice system in Bangladesh. In 2012, the organization reported 24 cases of enforced disappearance, 70 killings and 72 cases of torture by law enforcement agencies.

No longer on the site it appears.....Zina Saunders seems to have let their subscription at Drawger pass into the sun set.
That's okay...people come and go over time.
The fact that Zina Saunders is no longer here, does not in any reflact badly in them.
Perhaps it reflects badly on the site itself, but never them.

I was recently invited to present in front of a panel at the Ultra Light Startups in January. I've been to these meetups in the past (ie Open Source CMS), but this is one is different. I've been selected among 5 other presenters to the Revenue Model Workshop. At this event they selected 5 startups to give a brief presentation of their business, focusing on their revenue model. A panel of experts will provide insights, suggestions, and helpful alternatives for the entrepreneur to consider as methods to generate more revenue from their business more efficiently.
This is a great chance for me to learn how to monetize it RezRedo.com (advertisement to the left of this blog). VC Fred Wilson said on his blog, "Most web apps will be monetized with some kind of media model. Don't think banner ads when I say that. Think of all the various ways that an audience that is paying attention to your service can be paid for by companies and people who want some of that attention." The question is which model to choose?
Chris Anderson of Wired.com, put together a strong Media Business Model list of revenue models you can find in the media industry, all based around a core of free or almost-free content:
- CPM ads ("cost per thousand views"; banner ads online and regular ads in print, TV and radio)
- CPC ads ("cost per click"; think Google ads)
- CPA ads ("cost per action"; pay only if the customer performs a certain action)
- CPT ads ("cost per transaction"; you pay only if the customer brought to you from a media sites becomes a paying customer.)
- Lead generation (you pay for qualified names of potential customers)
- Subscription revenues
- Affiliate revenues (think: Amazon Associates)
- Rental of subscriber lists
- Sale of information (selling data about users–aggregate/statistical or individual–to third parties)
- Licensing of brand (people pay to use a media brand as implied endorsement)
- Licensing of content (syndication)
- Getting the users to create something of value for free and applying any of the above to monetize it. (Like Digg or our own Reddit)
- Upgraded service/content (ed: aka "freemium")
- Alternate output (pdf; print/print-on-demand; customized Shared Book style; etc.)
- Custom services/feeds
- Live events
- "Souvenirs"/"Merchandise"
- Co-branded spinoff
- Cost Per Install (popular with top Facebook apps who can help others get installs)
- E-commerce (selling stuff directly on your website)
- Sponsorships (ads of some sort that are sold based on time, not on the number of impressions)
- Listings (paying a time based amount to list something like a job or real estate on your website)
- Paid Inclusion (a form of CPC advertising where an advertiser pays to be included in a search result)
- Streaming Audio Advertising (like radio advertising delivered in the audio stream after a certain amount of audio content has been delivered)
- Streaming Video Advertising (like streaming audio but in video)
- API Fees (charging third parties to access your API)
A lot of your revenue model choices depend on B2B vs. B2C. Some work for both, while others are particular to the type of regular transactions that will be taking place. At this point, I have narrowed down my choices based off of this list and I hope this helped you do the same.

An HTML5 app is housed on the Web and runs inside a mobile browser. Unlike apps built specifically for Apple devices or Google's Android operating system, it does not need to be built from scratch for each OS. The promise is that it can be "write once, run anywhere."
It's true: In many cases, HTML5 can work just as well as a native approach. But it is not the silver bullet it is often made out to be, for several reasons.
So where are we in the HTML5 vs. native apps debate?
In a recent report, BI Intelligence breaks down this question, doing a head-to-head comparison of the two and looking at the current state of the performance gap between HTML5 and native apps.
Access The Full Report And Data By Signing Up For A Free Trial Today >>
Take look at this table from our report:
As the chart illustrates, native apps still reign supreme over HTML5 in a few areas, including:
- Rich user experience and performance: HTML5 still faces challenges in accessing device-native features across all mobile browsers, and in rendering graphically-rich user interfaces and data presentations.
- Monetization: The native app stores — Apple's App Store and Google Play — win this one. There hasn't been a convincing model for HTML5 monetization beyond individual vendors selling their apps online.

To provide a uniform system of accounting, financial reporting, and internal control adequate to protect and account for the Commonwealth's financial resources, while supporting and enhancing the recognition of Virginia as the best managed state in the union. More information is available in DOA's Strategic Plan and Service Area Plan.
In 1927, the General Assembly created the Division of Accounts and Controls in the Department of Finance, and in 1966, it was renamed the Department of Accounts.
The Department, under the direction of the State Comptroller, is responsible for: providing a unified financial accounting and control system for state funds; developing a comprehensive system of checks and balances between state agencies entrusted with the collection, receipt and disbursement of state revenues; and maintaining a central accounting system for all state agencies and institutions.
Over the last several years, state and local governments have begun issuing simplified financial reports. These are often referred to as "popular reports." These reports are intended to better inform the public about their government's financial condition, without excessive detail or the use of technical accounting terms. For a summary of the Commonwealth's overall financial condition, use this link.

A chief of staff to former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and fellow founder of Brazil's ruling Workers' Party was sentenced on Monday to more than 10 years in prison for running a congressional vote-buying scheme almost a decade ago.
Culminating the biggest political corruption trial in modern Brazilian history, the once-powerful José Dirceu, 66, received a 10-year and 10-month sentence for heading a bribery scheme in which Workers' Party officials and associates paid lawmakers a monthly retainer in exchange for support of their initiatives during the early years of Lula's first term.
The high-profile case, heard by Brazil's Supreme Court, has gripped Brazil for more than a month, bringing an unprecedented level of accountability to a country long-accustomed to widespread corruption. For many Brazilians, the convictions show that their country's democratic institutions while not perfect have matured, especially a judicial system that historically was unable and often unwilling to tackle corrupt politicians. The trial has been all the more surprising because the Workers' Party is still in power and most of the justices were appointed by Mr. Lula or his chosen successor, President Dilma Rousseff. The court sentenced Jose Genoino, the president of the Worker's Party when the scandal broke in 2005, to six years and 11 months in prison, and its then-treasurer Delubio Soares got eight years and 11 months. Mr. Dirceu was also ordered to pay a 676,000 reais ($329,700) fine.
Last month, the court convicted 25 people, including Mr. Dirceu, for diverting at least $35-million in public money to bribe legislators to support Mr. Lula's minority government during his first two years in office. Mr. Lula's first term, from 2003 through 2006, was crippled by the scandal though the former president, amid an economic boom, was easily re-elected for a second four-year term. Mr. Lula, who was not charged in the scandal, has denied any knowledge of the scheme and has even suggested it never existed.
Though Mr. Lula remains Brazil's most popular politician, the convictions have tarnished the memory of his time in office and marred his legacy.
Mr. Dirceu, who helped Mr. Lula found the Workers' Party in 1980, was found guilty of corruption and conspiring with others to break the law by running the scheme. Known as the mensalao, or "big monthly payment," the plot diverted public funds through front companies to pay the lawmakers.
It remains unclear when Mr. Dirceu and the others convicted will be arrested or how much time they will actually serve because the sentences could still be subject to legal challenges. House arrest remains a possibility for at least part of their terms, though their passports have already been confiscated to reduce the possibility that they could flee.
Mr. Dirceu, the most powerful man in Mr. Lula's cabinet who had been seen as his natural successor as president, was forced to resign when the scandal broke in 2005 and banned from politics, the end of a career that began as a communist student leader and urban guerrilla who fought military dictatorship four decades ago.
If Mr. Dirceu goes to prison it won't be the first time. He was arrested in 1968 by the military and freed in exchange for the kidnapped U.S. ambassador, a story that became the basis of the 1997 film Four Days in September.

Keith and Dee Cauley found her while photographing. She could not fly so they had to run her down until she was tired and then put her into a cage.
She was sent to Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation in Price, UT. Debbie-Souza-Pappas runs the non-profit organization, which is funded only through private donations.
The eagle was suffering from extreme lead poisoning. Coyotes, prairie dogs, rabbits, and other prey that eagles eat can be poisonous if they are shot with fragmenting lead bullets.
The lead gets stuck in the eagle's craw and cannot be digested. Then the eagles can no longer eat or fly due to malnutrition.
It took almost one full year of antibiotics, hand massaging the neck to allow the lead to pass through, and careful attention at all times. The cost for saving this wonderful animal was well over $1,000... all done by the great work of Debbie, the private funding, and veterinarians who donate their time and efforts free of charge.
The Cauleys ask that these wonderful people get the credit they deserve. They handle all Division of Natural Resources rehabilitations from the area.
March 15 was the day when Fury was released to return to find her mate.
Keith Cauley said, "What was really fabulous was the sky was filled with eagles during the release. Ten or more were spotted in the area and many went straight to her when she landed. It was like they knew she was going to be released."
The Cauleys add a reminder that green ammo (non-lead) can be used without harming other creatures that feed on varmints.

Credit unions should be keenly aware of trends involving Generation Y, the group of young adults typically defined by credit unions as those ages 18 to 25 that represent 9% of credit unions' total membership, according to CUNA's 2011-2012 National Member Survey.
That's because Gen Y because it has the largest population in U.S. history with 77 million people—several million more than the baby boomer generation. And it contains the most new mothers with 68% of all births coming from Gen Y moms, says Maya Bourdeau, managing partner with the research firm Attune.
Also, members of Gen Y are trendsetters, Bourdeau says. Baby boomers emulate their children, which creates a "trickle up" effect. About two-thirds of Gen X women identified Gen Y women as trend leaders.
Gen Y represents future loan demand for credit unions, Bourdeau says. It has four times the national average in student loans and twice the national average in auto loans. During the next 10 years, Gen Y will purchase more than 40% of vehicles sold in the U.S.
Almost 50% of Gen Y will be purchasing new cars in the next two years.
Gen Y can be profitable in ways previous generations weren't, Bourdeau adds. They're cheaper to serve than older members because they rarely call customer service or visit branches. And Gen Y is loyal, making member retention less of an issue.
Other Gen Y trends:
►Convenience is king. Bourdeau says Gen Y cares about technology and convenience over customer service.
Gen Y consumers report the primary driver of choosing a financial product or service is ease of use and convenience, followed by the ability of a payment option to provide capabilities for controlling spending.
Bourdeau pointed to PNC Financial Services Group's Virtual Wallet as an example—a product that was opening 6,000 accounts per week in June 2011. The average age of those accountholders was between the ages 18 and 34.
It was successful because it helped a learning audience learn—by answering questions such as "can I afford it?" and "how will this purchase affect my budget goals?"—and by offering the right payment method.
►Gen Y is moving away from credit cards toward prepaid cards. Today's most visible prepaid cards tend to carry the logo of either the major card networks or third-party vendors.
More than $409 billion was uploaded onto prepaid debit cards in 2011.
►About 21% of Gen Y members don't have checking accounts, compared with 12% for all generations. Credit unions need to reach these young consumers at the earliest possible stage as nonbank prepaid products begin to become a competitive threat.
Gen Y is moving toward nontraditional mobile banking providers, such as Google Wallet, Dwolla, and ISIS. The line between banking and payment systems is blurring.
Nearly 80% of mobile banking users are between the ages of 18 and 44, and they're typically Asian, Latino, or African-American.
Innovate & 'market trust'
"Credit unions must continue to innovate and market trust as a differentiator," says Alex Matjanec, co-founder of mybanktracker.com.
"I'm concerned that credit unions are losing the innovation race," Matjanec said. "About 92% of the top 25 banks now offer mobile banking, and 37% of customers at these giant banks used mobile banking in the last 90 days. But only 14% of credit union members used mobile banking in the last 90 days."
Matjanec says Gen Y consumers have access to anything—mostly free—and they equate banks with fees. They entered independence near the end of the recession, and they've learned not to trust the financial system.
Gen Y is financially stable, Matjanec adds. He said this generation has average outstanding debt of $34,735, with most of it tied up in student loans and auto loans.
Gen Y has an average credit score of 672 on the VantageScore scale. Only 54% of those ages 18 to 24 are employed full time, with financial independence kicking in around age 25.
This age group shows a distinct trend toward financial conservatism and debt-avoidance.
"Banks are taking advantage of an opportunity to use prepaid cards as building blocks to help young consumers transition to a deeper and more profitable banking relationship, Matjanec says. "Banks currently support 27% of all prepaid cards and products compared with 37% of prepaid products bought at a merchant or retailer location."

Need to add sitemap to GoCentral website. How is this accomplished and what are the specific steps to complete this? Is a sitemap automatically generated as it does not appear to be possible to add? My website is getting 0 response in analytics on all internet browsers. What good is website if no one can find it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Sherkk. I'm not sure why you're having issues with analytics, but GoCentral should generate a sitemap automatically. You can usually view it by visiting yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Hope that helps. If not, feel free to provide more information. Others in the community may be able to provide you with additional suggestions.
I'm having the same problem with google analytics and my go central site's site map. Here is what google gets when searching for site map And myself as well.
File not found (404 error)
My sitemap is blank.. I need this fixed immediately. I called support, no help.. Because I am using the builder I don't have cpanel access to the root directory to add it manually. No freakin bueno! I need cpanel access. It should be a base feature for buying the domain! 😞
Hi @JeffParker341. Thanks for posting. Please keep in mind that this is a community forum rather than a support form. Users here do not have access to internal GoDaddy systems and generally aren't able to assist with account specific issues. If your sitemap is not appearing after publishing your Website Builder site, you'll need to get in touch with our customer care team so they can have a look. Sorry
