Pennsylvania Eastern District Petitions for Naturalization (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Pennsylvania, Eastern District Petitions for Naturalization, 1795-1931 .
Record Description
The records consist of naturalization petitions for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania. The records corresponds to NARA publication M1522.
Naturalization is a voluntary process by which immigrants can become American citizens and receive the rights granted with citizenship. Before 1790, British immigrants were automatically considered citizens. Some Protestant immigrants from other counties swore allegience and requested citizenship from civil authorities. The process by which foreign immigrants could become citizens of the British empire colony, and later American citizens, was handled by the individual states until 1906, when the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization standardized immigration laws and procedures. The general requirements for citizenship include residency in one U.S. state for one year and in the United States for five years.

The collection covers the years 1795 to 1931.
Naturalization papers are an important source of information about an immigrant's nation of origin, his foreign and "Americanized" names, residence, and date of arrival. Naturalization records were created to process naturalizations and keep track of immigrants in the United States.
Naturalization records are generally reliable, but may occasionally be subject to error or falsification. Be sure to search all possible spellings of your ancestor's surname. Think about how the surname was pronounced, and how it sounded in your ancestor's probable accent. The surname may be spelled differently in earlier records that were closer to your ancestor's immigration date.

Record Content
Before 1906, the information recorded on naturalization records differed widely and often didn't mention the immigrant's town of origin or parents' names. These records may contain:
- Port of arrival
- Date of arrival
- Age of immigrant
- Residence of immigrant
- Country of origin or allegiance
In 1906, the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization was created and later renamed Immigration and Naturalization Services or INS. Some results included standardized forms throughout the country and copies of naturalization papers sent to the INS in addition to the court keeping a copy.
Naturalization records after 1906 contain more detailed information about the immigrants and their families. Possible information given in post-1906 naturalization records include:
- Name
- Birth date
- Birth place
- Spouse's name
- Children's names
- Birth date and place of spouse
- Birth dates and places of children
- Port of arrival
- Date of arrival
- Vessel of arrival
- Occupation
- Physical Description
- Marriage date
- Age
- Residence
- Last foreign address
- Marital status
How to Use the Record
Immigrants could naturalize in any court that performed naturalizations. That included city, county, state and federal courts. Begin by looking for naturalization records in the courts of the county or city where the immigrant lived. Look first for the petition (second papers), because they are usually easier to find in courts near where the immigant eventually settled. After 1906, the declaration can be filed with the petition as the immigrant was required to submit a copy when he submitted the petition.
Because immigrants were allowed to naturalize in any court, they often selected the most convenient court. If they lived in the Eastern District but worked elsewhere, they may have gone to a court closer to work.
You can use naturalization records to:
- Learn an immigrant's place of origin
- Confirm their date of arrival
- Learn foreign and "Americanized" names
- Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship's manifests
You may also find these tips helpful:
- Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived, and then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts and then in state, county, or city courts.
- An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process.
- If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
- Continue to search the naturalization records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have naturalized in the same area or nearby.
- The witnesses named on naturalization records may have been older relatives of the person in the naturalization process. Search for their naturalizations.
- You may want to obtain the naturalization records of every person who shares your ancestor's surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
If you do not find the name you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings. Realize that the indexes may contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings and misinterpretations.
- Try a different index if there is one for the years needed. You may also need to search the naturalization records year by year.
- Search the indexes of nearby counties.

Around the World: 10 Ways To Cook With Banana Leaves
Around the world, wherever bananas grow, cooks have devised ways to use the giant leaves, wrapping them around foods both savory and sweet. A parcel made from banana leaves seals in moisture and flavor and infuses the contents with a subtle, grassy aroma. From Latin American to Asian dishes, here are 10 clever and beautiful ways to cook with the versatile leaves.
• 1. Steamed fish – A banana leaf makes a fragrant and convenient fish-steaming packet. Wrap the leaf around any kind of firm-fleshed fish (sustainable, of course!) together with seasonings like fresh herbs, garlic, ginger, or curry paste. See this post for some tips.
• 2. Grilled fish (and other foods) – According to Jaden of Steamy Kitchen, there are two advantages to grilling a fish on top of a banana leaf: first, it "prevents the fragile fish from sticking to the grill grates" and second, it "adds a mellow smoky, sweet flavor to the fish." Get her recipe: Grilled Whole Fish on Banana Leaf. This cooking method can be used for shrimp or vegetables, too.
• 3. Savory custards – Throughout Southeast Asia, cooks make banana leaf "boats" to steam mixtures of meat, spices, coconut milk, and eggs. The Sun-Sentinel has a recipe for Cambodian-Style Amok Fish (adaptable for chicken or tofu) and good step-by-step photos for folding the boat. Meanwhile, Nyonya Food shares a Malaysian version of this dish called Otak-Otak.
• 4. Tamales – In tropical regions of Mexico and Central America, tamales are wrapped in banana leaves, which imparts a different flavor than corn husks. Check out Saveur's recipe for Guatemalan Tamales with Ancho Chile Sauce or Simply Recipes' Vegetarian Banana Leaf Tamales.
• 5. Pasteles – Similar to tamales, Latin American pasteles are frequently enclosed in banana leaves. Hector Rodriguez has a recipe for the Puerto Rican version of Pasteles, made with green bananas and yautía root (similar to taro), along with a step-by-step photographic guide to assembling and wrapping them.
• 6. Cochinita pibil – Cochinita pibil is a Mexican dish traditionally consisting of a whole suckling pig roasted in a banana leaf. For a recipe that's more doable at home, see Andrea Myers's Slow-Cooked Achiote-Marinated Pork (Cochinita Pibil).
• 7. Idlis – Varada of Aayi's Recipes shares a riff on hittu/khottek/kadubu, an Indian dish traditionally made from rice and urad dal (black lentil) batter steamed in baskets of jackfruit leaves. This banana leaf version is easier to assemble.
• 8. Bibingka – Bibingka, a Filipino coconut cake, is traditionally baked in a pot lined with banana leaves. Panlasang Pinoy's recipe shows how to adapt this for a cake pan, while Jun-Blog's version uses ramekins. We're looking forward to trying one of these methods next time we make our own binbingka recipe.
• 9. Sticky rice – In Southeast Asia, sticky rice is wrapped and steamed inside banana leaves for a sweet or savory treat. For two examples, check out Thai & Lao Food's recipe for Khao Dome (Coconut Sticky Rice in Banana Leaves) and The Global Gourmet's recipe for Indonesian Lemper Ayam (Sticky Rice and Spiced Chicken
in Banana Leaf).
• 10. Presentation – Fresh, green banana leaves can be used as plates, serving containers, and table decor. Banana leaf boats would make pretty bowls for steamed rice, salads, desserts and more. Another idea is to fold the leaves into cones to fill with noodles or other foods.
Look for banana leaves at Asian and Latin American markets. If fresh ones aren't available, check the frozen food section. Online, they can be found at Grocery Thai.

In small towns across America there are schools, shops along main streets, cafes noted for great pancakes and coffee, and friends at work at newspaper and post offices, to the fascination of artists like Don Good, of The Villages.
In small towns across America there are schools, shops along main streets, cafes noted for great pancakes and coffee, and friends at work at newspaper and post offices, to the fascination of artists like Don Good, of The Villages.
Add mountains above town, a river running through it and a welcoming church near City Hall, and you pretty much get the picture of the types of things Good likes to portray in the custom wood art of intarsia.
Lydia DeGroot, 8, spotted one of Good's depictions of a church, during his recent second visit to the Ocala Farmers Market. Lydia made a beeline for it, running ahead of her family to look more closely.
"I like it because it's like 3-D at the bottom part, and it's like so creative," said Lydia, the daughter of Eric and Penny DeGroot, of Ocala.
Another browser who liked Good's art was Janet Sullivan, formerly of New York, who was carrying a basket of vegetables she had purchased.
"I grow my own vegetables, but I come here each week for vegetables that I don't grow. I also like to walk around, talk and observe, because there's so much to see here, like this artist, whose work is really amazing. I've never seen art done like this before. It's very well-done, very realistic," Sullivan said.
Two of Good's works are on display in Eggs Over Easy on Baseline Road, and the restaurant's owner, Donna Cuppels, said customers enjoy looking at the work and often comment on it. "We had a customer from up North who fell in love with one of the things Don did, showing the U.S.S. Constitution. He was down here on vacation, so he bought it and Don packaged it up and mailed it up to him," Cuppels said.
Good has a scrapbook of photos showing his work over the years, including one of a rustic cabin with a tree behind it. "It turned out nice, didn't it. That's the first one I ever did," he said.
Other photos depict southwestern scenes showing landscapes of desert and Spanish missions. One piece set in New Mexico features several hot air balloons.
"I did an oil painting of a one-room school house, the only oil painting I ever did. But after I finished the painting, I thought that it would make a nice intarsia picture, so I did one of those of it, too," Good said.
One work shows a small town's main street, complete with river, church and park gazebo, a rustic ranch house and grazing horse, with mountains looming above all.
"I used cherry and walnut wood to do this one and just finished it in January," Good said.
Good began doing his wood art around 1985. He begins by coming up with an idea and then tackling the simplest part of the work first. He uses natural materials and sometimes paints portions of the work, or includes small rocks for a collage effect. For one, he downloaded an old-fashioned sign from the Internet and glued the tiny relic into a scene.
"I just do what I like. Sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn't," he said.
His wife, Betty, frequently asks him when he's going to clean up his work area in the garage.
"It does make some sawdust," Good said with a laugh.

Who you rely on for products and services may never be the same again.
This is the first story in a series about how distribution channels in agriculture are changing and what those changes will mean for you as a buyer.
For years farmers across the Midwest have purchased farm inputs such as seed, chemicals, fertilizer and machinery from their local dealers. And what was delivered to one farm looked much the same as what was delivered to the next. Same price tag. Same service. Same delivery truck. Same turnaround time.
That's changing.
In the past two years, agribusiness has begun to realize that so much sameness doesn't work anymore. It is rethinking the old product distribution channel used to bring products and services to market. Whereas in the past, product moved from manufacturer to distributor to dealer to customer, in the future it may go directly from the manufacturer to the customer or take a variety of other paths to reach the buyer's door.
Experts say the change in distribution channels should mean good things for buyers. In fact, they refer to this time as the "golden age of the buyer," in which customers decide what products and services they want, when they want them and at what cost.
"Those who are buying today will find that more and more sellers will be increasingly courting their business," says Dr. Mike Boehlje, Purdue agricultural economist who spoke on the topic of changing distribution channels at the annual agribusiness conference at Purdue University. "So it is going to be a real plus for those on the purchasing side."
Forces of change.
Four factors are driving the change in product distribution channels. The first is a fragmenting customer base. Farmers cannot be lumped into one market category anymore. Differences exist in their size of operation, type of enterprise, buying behavior and income.
For instance, since 1982, the number of farms with greater than $500,000 in gross sales has increased dramatically, according to a recent Purdue survey of 1,700 producers from across the U.S. "We are quickly moving to 90/10 agriculture, where 10% of the farmers account for 90% of the gross sales and therefore 90% of the input purchases in this industry," Boehlje says. That 10% probably will have product and services needs that are much different than those of farmers with a smaller number of acres.
A second factor driving new distribution channels is higher customer expectations. Farmers today have higher standards of performance as a result of the increasing scale of operations, market pressures and competitive product offerings, according to Dr. Jay Akridge, professor and associate director of Purdue's Center for Agricultural Business. For example, the same survey found that 20% of farmers shop for price, 18% shop for convenience, 15% buy based on product performance, and the balance want all those things.
"They want price, service, information and products that perform," Akridge says. "And they are willing to make trade-offs and pay for extra value if it delivers on their farm business. This group also will be quick to change suppliers if they are not getting the value they want."
A third factor is technology. One area is logistics technology to improve the transport of goods from one place to another. "Ten years ago, you would hear people talk about just-in-time inventory," says Dr. Frank Dooley, associate professor at Purdue's Center for Agricultural Business. "Today we hear about Global Positioning Systems, bar coding, which is almost standard practice everywhere, and supply chain management."
These systems will allow input supply firms to do a better job of managing inventories to ensure that product is delivered on time. For example, if a company transports seed from another sales region, the sales rep can use GPS to track when the truck will arrive and even give coordinates to thefarmer's field.Some chemical companies already are using a system of electroni c sensors and satellites to track product levels in bulk tanks. The sensors take a daily reading of the inventory and send the information to the supplier by way of satellite signals.
Technology also has improved communications. The development of the Internet, Intranet (Web pages for company use) and expanding bandwidths have improved the speed at which information can be communicated among customers, manufacturers and suppliers. "Just think. Four years ago, virtually no firms had a Web page. Now, 79% have them," says Dooley, referring to another recent Purdue survey of agribusiness professionals. Among farmers, Internet access has doubled in the last two years - from 13 to 29% - and the growth is expected to continue.
The fourth factor driving new distribution channels is increased competition among suppliers. The product performance gap is narrowing, meaning the product sold by one company is likely to perform about the same as that of another. At the same time, new players, like telemarketers and Internet companies, are entering the market offering you the opportunity to buy products directly from the manufacturer at a lower cost than what your retailer may be able to quote you.
All these forces are putting pressure on manufacturers and resellers to come up with new ways to get products and services to you better, faster and cheaper or else lose you to someone else.
Channel snapshots.
So what might the new product distribution channels look like? One channel, and perhaps the most visible one, is the Internet. With the advent of company Web sites, farmers can log on and order products direct from the manufacturer day or night with a click of a mouse and the touch of a few keystrokes without ever having to talk to the middleman.
Ag finance is becoming a common example of that, Boehlje says. "I can get housing loans now on e-commerce, I can communicate with my ag lender through the Internet, and increasingly I can obtain a loan with some lenders and have funds transferred to my account electronically," he says.
Other products are expected to follow if they haven't already. Of the agribusiness companies surveyed by Purdue, 5% are selling over the Internet today. Sixty-five percent say they will be selling over the Internet in three years, and 12% of the companies' dollar sales are expected to be Internet-generated three years from now.
Other emerging channels will be shaped according to whether you are buying products, services or information. In other words, the product might be delivered direct, the information might be delivered over the Internet, and the after-sales service might still be handled by the local retailer, according to Boehlje. "As an example of that, I might buy my automobile over the Internet, or a tractor from a dealer that is not in my locale," he says. "But when it comes to getting the repairs done, I typically and frequently will take it to my local dealer."
Boehlje is quick to point out that these emerging distribution channels will not necessarily replace the local dealer, but their role may change. "The retailer, in some cases, may be playing a critical role in product delivery and application of, for example, fertilizer. But in other cases, the dealer may simply be involved in doing the accounting and billing and the product moves directly to the consumer."
And although the Internet may be the biggest threat to dealers' traditional existence, it may also be their best tool to enhance their role. "We may actually find e-commerce being the mechanisms by which the local retailer does a better job of providing information to his customer base," Boehlje states.
Where do you fit?
Boehlje says these new channels will operate simultaneously alongside each other. And each channel will be used to serve different customers in a way that best meets their needs.
So how do you know which channel you will fit into? Ultimately, that decision will be up to the marketer and it will be based on a variety of factors such your farm size, type of enterprise, buying behavior and level of service required.
However, you can influence channel selection by continually informing your input suppliers of your wants and needs in terms of products, services and information, according to Boehlje. "Here are the kinds of things I would like from you as my fertilizer, seed, chemical or other supplier," Boehlje says. "Here's what I think would be useful or valuable to me."
Communicating those needs is not to imply that you will always get what you want, Boehlje adds.
But it will at least improve your chances.
At the same time, producers must be realistic in their expectations, especially when it comes to services. "What I'm suggesting is that producers are going to have to increasingly acknowledge that they may not get exactly what their neighbor gets," Boehlje says. "And because they are not getting exactly what their neighbor gets, it shouldn't surprise them that they are paying a different price than what their neighbor pays."
In the next issues of Farm Industry News, we will give you a more detailed look at the distribution channels that are taking shape in specific industry segments and their implications for you as a buyer.

If you can't possibly stand to watch the Nexus 7 thrown on the ground, pushed off a ledge and dunked in a bathtub, avert your eyes.
In their latest famous drop test video, SquareTrade is pitting the Nexus 7 against the new iPad in an epic battle to see who can withstand the most abuse. Spoiler alert: the Nexus 7 wins every single one.
Both when dropped from chest level and pushed off a ledge, the Nexus 7 sustained far less damage than the new iPad. The Nexus 7 saw minimal to moderate markings on its back from the falls onto the cement, while the iPad's display was cracked and shattered. When dropped into a bathtub full of water, the iPad and Nexus 7 both appeared to have fully functional displays, but only the Nexus 7 still had functioning audio.
Is this a perfect simulation of what would happen were you to mishandle an iPad or Nexus 7 in the real world? Not necessarily. But it does showcase the durability of the Nexus 7, or should I say, clumsy people everywhere's new tablet of choice.

Judge To Allow More Evidence Filed Against Team Prenda, Despite Vehement Objections From Prenda
from the judge-isn't-buying-it dept
the outrageous attacks made on the real Alan Cooper are shameful. However, they are also easily discredited, and undersigned counsel would appreciate an opportunity to do so. Similarly, the other two declarations submitted by Mr. Duffy and Prenda also have problems, which undersigned counsel would like to briefly address and refute.Pietz also wants to dig deeper into some of the actual legal issues associated with the cases at hand that go beyond just attorney misconduct, noting that some of these are important issues that shouldn't be lost in the focus on Prenda's conduct.
Not surprisingly, Prenda Law / Paul Duffy very quickly shot back, with a filing telling the court, rather vehemently, that it should not allow Pietz to file such things. It notes that the case itself is now a criminal investigation (interesting...) and thus opposing attorneys from the civil case no longer have a role in the case, because they're not "disinterested prosecutors." It then points out that Pietz is clearly not disinterested. Basically, it argues that Pietz is biased against copyright enforcement (ha!) and is just seeking to "pad his bill." Further, they claim that the evidence is "vague and inadmissable" (which some might interpret to mean "it says stuff we don't like very much, which hurts our credibility.") Very quickly after that, both Paul Hansmeier and John Steele filed "me too!" statements with the court, both saying that they "join" Prenda's objection.
Not surprisingly, these protests went for naught as Judge Wright very quickly approved Peitz's request to file the evidence by Tuesday April 16th. If you hadn't figured it out by now (and unless you've been living under a rock, you have figured it out by now), Judge Wright simply doesn't believe anything coming out of Team Prenda these days.

Bethel Mennonite Community Church (Chicago, Illinois, USA)
Bethel Mennonite Community Church (Mennonite Church USA) of Chicago, Illinois, is located at 14th Place and Laflin Street. It was started in 1944 as a project among the African American people by the Mission Board of the Illinois Mennonite Conference. Under the leadership of Lester Hershey, Walter Yordy and James and Rowena Lark, a successful Bible school was held in the summer of 1944. That August the workers organized the congregation.
James H. Lark was asked to take charge; he in 1946 he was ordained a minister and in 1956 a bishop. He was the first African American minister and bishop in the Mennonite Church. The total membership in 1953 of Bethel, together with that of Dearborn Street Mission (an outpost at 1808 Dearborn Street), was 53 exclusive of workers. A fire in the building where the congregation met meant a new facility was required; the new building was dedicated in September 1954.

Earlier this week NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 760 2GB video card at the $249.99 price point. The day the GTX 760 was released you could find board partners cards online for $249.99 Shipped, so it was a hard launch with product immediately available. That is priced very close to the AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB video card that can now be found for $264.99 shipped (After a $20 Rebate) and it comes with four game titles (Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider). So, there is just a $15 price difference between the cards and one comes with no game bundle and the other comes with four game titles worth ~$170 if you paid full retail price for them. It looks like you have a pretty tough choice to make at the $250-$270 price point, so we figured we'd do a real quick performance shootout between these two desktop graphics cards. We won't be covering the software/driver features of the cards, but rather a real quick comparison of the AMD and NVIDIA reference cards and then we are jumping right to the performance numbers.
When it comes to overall length the AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB video card measures in at 11-inches in length and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB is just 9.5-inches in length. Sometimes in life size matters, but when it comes to computer cases, most prefer a smaller card since it usually fits better and offers improved airflow.
When it comes to power supply connectors, both cards use a pair of 6-pin PCIe power connectors. NVIDIA recommends a 500W Watt or greater power supply and AMD suggests the same.
When it comes to video outputs the AMD Radeon HD 7950 has a pair of mini-DisplayPort 1.2 connectors, a full size HDMI 1.4a output and a dual-link DVI-I. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 has dual-link DVI-I, dual-link DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Depending on your monitor arrangement one of this configurations might be better than the other, but it really depends on your individal preferences as both cards offer great monitor support right out of the box.
The AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB reference card that we are looking at today features the 'Tahiti' GPU with boost and comes clocked at 925MHz core and 1250MHz (5000MHz effective) on the 3GB GDDR5 memory. All new AMD Radeon HD 7950 video cards come with this product specification and the GPU Clock has been increased 75MHz from what it was originally released at.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB reference card uses the GK104 'Kepler' GPU and comes clocked at 980MHz on the 1152 CUDA cores and the 2GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1502MHz (6008MHz effective). This GeForce GTX 700 series card supports GPU Boost 2.0, so it has a boost clock speed of 1033MHz.

The Division of Student Affairs supports the Suffolk University mission by striving to provide a welcoming, supportive and engaging environment that enriches the academic, social and personal experiences of all students, where the full potential of success can be achieved. Our goal is to empower and develop the multiple facets of the identities of our students (artistic, spiritual, athletic, leadership, academic, etc.), which will in turn help to shape the Suffolk community and beyond.
The guiding principles of our work include:
Student Engagement & Advocacy
Assist students to actively embrace and craft their experience at Suffolk, while teaching the aptitudes of self-advocacy, intellectual curiosity, leadership and personal responsibility. Encourage and provide involvement in co-curricular opportunities that enhance leaning (artistic, spiritual, athletic, leadership, academic, etc.). Engage students in developing personal and professional skills needed to be successful in life and to cultivate versatile individuals who will have a strong, prideful connection to the university as active alumni.
Embracing Diversity & Social Justice
Foster awareness, respect and appreciation for individual experiences, beliefs and ideas by cultivating a genuine understanding for the rich diversity of our community. Engage in conversations related to power and privilege in our society. Promote a community that is inclusive and supportive of independent opinions, that encourages students to be involved with the process of change and where differences are celebrated.
Social Responsibility & Civic Engagement
Provide opportunities for students to become invested in their community's quality of life while empowering them to positively change their surroundings. Instill the value of personal and civic responsibility through cultivation of personal integrity including increased awareness of social issues, volunteerism, and community involvement. Provide meaningful opportunities for self-reflection and active participation in service to others to instill a sense of ongoing relationship in our communities.
Holistic Care & Support
Create an environment where students, staff and faculty actively and sensitively support one another as equal members of the Suffolk University community, as well as cultivate empathy and compassion for those members who are the most in need. Focus on enabling students to manage personal and academic problems that can inhibit growth and development.

Funny thing I was just catching up on IEC fusion.
I have seen some pretty junk science TV reporting on AI with some serious UK academic pundits and the TV presenters make the case look even worse than it already was.
If some Prof wants to fix his head with a chip, thats his choice but pretty soon the political idiots that govern us (UK/US) will get the idea we should all get chipped for security reasons right after a DNA submission. In a very real sense having cameras everywhere and getting your whereabouts tracked makes me wish to stay as far away from this sort of futuristic technology as possible.
As for fusion, I would bet that the Tokamak will never ever fly, its a forever research project, perhaps the Bussard or similar IEC project will work will but it seems to have its own critics.

Confidence Points are used to give a different weight to each game in a given week. You'll assign a point value (from 1 to 15 if there are 15 games, 1 to 4 if there are 4 games, etc.) to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you'll receive points equal to the confidence-point value you associated with that game.
So, if you pick Pittsburgh to beat Dallas and assign the game a confidence point value of 15, you'd get 15 points for a correct pick, but no points if Dallas wins. You don't lose points for an incorrect selection.
Each week's points will be tallied, and the player finishing with the highest total at the end of the year will be the winner of the group.
With the playoffs, we will rank 1-4 (again 4 being most confident, 1 least) the winners (for the first 2 weeks). Rank in descending order from confidence to least confidence as the rank correlates to the points values. If you get them all right you will receive 10 points. Lets say you only get one game right, your number 3. confident. Therefore you will receive 3 points. If you get a game wrong, you don't lose points, so u can't go in the negative.
The first 2 weeks are going to be out of 10 points (wild card and divisional championship weeks) as mentioned above. The conference championships are worth 7 points (ranking 4 for most and 3 from the least confidence, as we have to take account the previous weeks numbers). The Superbowl is gonna receive 4 points for the correct pick, and 3 points for the one who is closest to the final score in total points, with over/under limits not a factor. I do this, so someone ahead after the superbowl doesn't pick the same team as the closest competitor, just to win by default. These scores submitted by everyone in the superbowl will also count as a tiebreaker if it comes down to this. SO i will get more into this when the time comes.
Questions or Suggestions lemme know. Still confused, learn by example by seeing my picks for the first round in the following post.
NAME (weekly totals)........................Total Pts.
TMC: (7)(4)(7)(4)......................................22 points
Bada:(6)(3)(7)(4)..................................... 20 points
Capt_Jack: (5)(5)(3)(7)............................20 points
GSW United: (10)(4)(4)(0).......................18 points
xbay: (5)(5)(7)(0).....................................17 points
Mr. Crackerz: (7)(2)(7)(0)....................... 16 points

Tracking Melanie the wolverine
MAZAMA -- The U.S. Forest Service has trapped the first wolverine ever captured and fitted with a radio collar in the Pacific Northwest.
Biologists hope to learn more about the habits and range of the elusive creatures known for their ferocious nature.
"No one's ever studied them in the Pacific states before," said Keith Aubry, who's heading the pilot study through the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Biologists caught their first wolverine just over a week ago in a subalpine forest. It was a 19-pound female, measuring nearly 3 feet from her nose to the tip of her 7- inch tail. She looked much like a small bear cub, only with long ivory-colored claws.
They named her Melanie, after wolverine expert Jeff Copeland's granddaughter, because he missed the child's birthday party to lend his expertise to the wolverine expedition.
While she was tranquilized, biologists weighed Melanie and punched in an ear tag, keeping part of the skin for a DNA sample. They fitted her with a radio collar that will emit a signal so she can be tracked through July 2007. They'll find out how far she travels and what elevation she covers.
The biologists were particularly excited to catch a young female. That means she's probably part of a resident family, and not just wandering through, they said. They're hoping to catch two more wolverines this winter.
John Rohrer, a Forest Service biologist at the Winthrop Ranger Station, and Winthrop's state Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist, Scott Fitkin, built three traps altogether, all in the high elevations above the Methow Valley, and opened their lids in mid-January.
The largest land-based member of the weasel family, wolverines sport a thick, brown coat with a light stripe down their backs.
A candidate for protection under the Endangered Species Act, wolverines have already disappeared from parts of their historical range, which once dipped down to the Sierra Nevada in California, Aubry said.
Some thought they also had died out in the North Cascades during the 1960s, '70s and '80s, but they either recolonized this region, spreading down from British Columbia, or became more populous, Aubry said.
There have been several confirmed sightings over the past 10 years in the mountains above the Methow Valley, in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and in other areas above Leavenworth, Aubry said.
The first year of the study will cost about $50,000, Aubry said. Half of the money will come from a Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management program for sensitive species. The rest will come from other state and federal sources.

As many people remember and many more will learn among America's many history lessons, on September 11, 2001, 2,996 lives were tragically lost when terrorist attacks destroyed the Twin Towers in New York City, drove a commercial airplane into a field in Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. A steel beam acquired from the remains of the Twin Towers was gifted to Mesquite's fire department in memoriam, and is now located in Mesquite's Freedom Park.
The Mesquite ISD sponsored an art contest to give one student a chance to illustrate a book chronicling the story of "Steel Beamer's" travels from New York City to Mesquite, TX. The goal of the book is to present the facts of that terrible day in history to children in an age-appropriate way. The winner was Savannah Lynn Murr, an 8th grader from McDonald Middle School.
You can read the book using this link: Steel Beamer: America's Steel Hero

Suprisingly, the only area I wasn't completely enamored with in Bayonetta was the story. It seems like the effort was made to make Bayonetta a film-noir-meets-supernatural-whodunit, but it just doesn't work all that well. In a nutshell, Bayonetta is the last of a super clan of witches who were eradicated centuries ago. She, herself, was a victim of the witch hunts, and was sealed inside a coffin for hundreds of years at the bottom of a lake. But, now she has reawakened (taking some poor kid's dad down in the process), and though most of her memory is gone, she knows she needs to find the "Eyes of the World," and she's willing to fight Heaven, Earth, and Hell to do so.
In between intense playable action sequences filled with screeching angels, explosions, and lava flows, I just couldn't find myself caring too much about Bayonetta's personal battles or her relationship with the boy who's father she inadvertently murdered (oops!). It may sound insensitive, but the story here just seems like an afterthought to the action, and I found myself impatient for the cutscenes to end so I could get back to kicking some angelic (and demonic) butt.
As far as the audio is concerned, Bayonetta is a mixed bag. The voiceover is great, and the sound effects are quite lifelike. However, the music is mediocre and forgettable. While some of the characters do have their own catchy theme music, nothing really stands out as "epic" in the sound department.
Bayonetta is an action-packed game, and if you consider yourself a fan of games like Devil May Cry or God of War, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. The gameplay really is excellent, and though the story leaves much to be desired, the excellent combat more than makes up for this shortcoming. Between epic boss battles, beautiful environments, and one badass heroine, Bayonetta is definitely the first knock-out action game of the new year and is a great title to shake off those winter blues.

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
Fair Trade Certified™
We pay a premium for every Fair Trade Certified item that carries our label. That extra money goes directly to the workers at the factory, and they decide how to spend it. The program also promotes worker health and safety and social and environmental compliance, and encourages dialog between workers and management.

Fragrant and delicious, cinnamon is a fantastic spice to use in quick and easy desserts.
It's great in a rub for roasted, pan-seared or barbecued meats, sea foods, and vegetables.
And according to research, approved by the American Diabetic Association, cinnamon can help the body metabolize sugar so it increases insulin production and helps lower cholesterol.

My DS is 4 months old and weighed in at 17lbs yesterday. Dr said this puts him in the 90th percentile for weight but he is only in the 50th for height. Also, he was born 6 weeks early, so if I use his corrected age (2.5 months) he is off the charts for weight.
Everything I have read says you cant overfeed a BF baby but I am concerned because we only just made it to EBF in the last month....before that he was supplemented. Could supplementing have stretched his tummy, and now it takes too much to fill him? I nurse on demand and he will come off the breast when he has had enough. He sleeps from about 9pm-8am with 1 night feeding in between. He nurses about every 2 hrs during the day.
He weighed 4lbs 10oz at birth, and will be 18 weeks old tomorrow....any thoughts?

Actor Hugh Jackman no longer holds a grudge against his mother for abandoning him when he was eight, after learning she was struggling with a severe bout of post-partum depression.
The X-Men star's mum Grace Watson left her husband and four kids behind in Australia and fled to the U.K. when Jackman was a young boy.
The actor struggled to come to terms with her departure, and confesses he went through a dark time in the subsequent years.
He tells Australian publication Women's Weekly, "One of the main things I remember is that horrible feeling that people were talking about you and looking at you because it was odd for the mother to leave."
But Jackman, now 44, insists he has since forgiven and made peace with his mum upon realising she was battling ill health.
He adds, "The thing I never felt - and I know this might sound strange - I never felt that my mum didn't love me. I've spoken about it at length with her since and I know she was struggling.
"She was in hospital after I was born suffering from post-natal depression. There wasn't a support network for her here."
The father of two admits it feels good to put the past behind him: "There comes a certain point in life when you have to stop blaming other people for how you feel or the misfortunes in your life. You can't go through life obsessing about what might have been."

In Thursday's edition, the editorial board here at Foster's Daily Democrat endorsed Dick Green over Sam Cataldo in the Republican primary race to represent Senate District 6, which encompasses the communities of Rochester, Farmington, New Durham, Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton.
We did so for two reasons.
First, Green is clearly the more qualified of the two having served in many elected posts, including prior stints as state senator.
Second, Cataldo left us scratching our heads and frustrated.
During more than an hourlong editorial board meeting Cataldo offered what seemed like contradiction after contradiction.
When asked about the differences with GOP opponent Dick Green, he spoke of Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment — not to speak ill of a fellow Republican. But the first difference he addressed was integrity.
He also seemed to contradict himself during a discussion of abortion and same-sex marriage.
At first, Cataldo made no bones about being pro-life. He bragged that his constituents felt the same. Moments later while speaking in more general terms, Cataldo said he was willing to change his vote if his constituents felt differently.
Reminded of his just-stated position on abortion, the 72-year-old backtracked saying he would not vote with his constituents if it went counter to his own religious beliefs — abortion and same-sex marriage included.
Also troublesome is that Cataldo appears to have become a slavish foot soldier, bragging that he has agreed with the leadership of House Speaker Bill O'Brien "99 percent of the time."
This includes allowing students to carry guns on college campuses and slashing funding to the University of New Hampshire as punishment for an bloated bureaucracy. When asked to explain the latter, Cataldo could offer no proof other than what he read on the House floor prior to voting (facts which he couldn't remember).
But perhaps the best example of confusion and contradiction came with the discussion of his support for lowering the dropout age to 16.
Cataldo readily admitted that raising the dropout age to 18 — as was done by an earlier Legislature — lowered the dropout rate from approximately 25 percent to low single digits. Yet, he wants to return to the earlier dropout age of 16. Then, as the dropout rate rises, he would engage parents and school superintendents in an effort to figure out why.
Our suggesting went no where that it might be better to examine why students want to drop out before they actually do.
It is entirely possible that had the editorial board meeting lasted longer, these apparent contradictions might have been explained away. Perhaps it was just a failure to communicate.
We have no doubt that Cataldo is sincere in his beliefs, strong in his religious convictions and a devout family man.
But Cataldo's inability to explain his views more clearly and to engage in constructive debate left doubt in the minds of our editorial board members that he is ready to move from the N.H. House to the Senate.
Serving in the House, with its 400 members, is an opportunity to learn and fine tune legislative skills. There, the misstep of one member can be easily overlooked. On the other hand, the Senate is a body of only 24 where there is little room for error and a great need to concisely communicate one's ideas. It is a place where every member takes on many important roles. There, the missteps of one member can have far-reaching implications.
For all these reasons and more, we urge GOP primary voters to choose the more seasoned of the two contenders and send Dick Green on to the Nov. 6 general election.
Perhaps the next time for Cataldo
