we did CGH (success ment)

Response to
Considering Testing embryos - m/c mentioned
Our donor was proven and a mom, herself. Still, roughly half of the 14 or so embryos were deemed healthy, following CGH, regardless of grade and appearance. We transferred one and were successful the first time out.
It was very expensive, yes. We tossed and turned over this issue, and finally decided to go ahead with CGH. We felt pretty strongly about doing a single embryo transfer, and CGH gave us comfort. Good luck!!

Do you remember if the normal ones were also well-graded visually?

Reboot: Legionnaires #57
21 hours ago
I was expecting for this to be stop new on your blog, but maybe you haven't heard. Jamal Igle is off of Supergirl. He's moving to Birds of Prey. I really liked him on Supergirl.
Here's where I heard it http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/08/04/three-birds-in-the-hand/
That is sad news, I wonder what happened? I was so looking forward to Jamal Igle being with Supergirl for a long time especially the way he talked about his work on it from his interviews.
Brainiac was upset by the enviornment on Earth. The places he fought in World of New Krypton and R.E.B.E.L.S. may simply have been sterile enough not to bother him.

This is the same old shit where the only way EJ can get Sami's attention is when he is fucking up her life. Glad to hear they have grown so much!
I don't blame Rafe...this entire thing is out of his control and even if he did everything right, he can't win. Sami is out of her mind with grief thinking her kid is dead and EJ with the puppet strings is just laughing at it all. EJ is even laughing that Sami actually is falling for it all and not trusting Rafe! Nice.
I never thought this story could take such a bad turn and make me hate these characters that are involved.
Nicole really did carry this story, didn't she?

The Daily Hits 20: When Sports Crossed Over Into The Entertainment Realm
Sports and entertainment are, of course, connected, and we list some of our favorite examples of the two connecting through entertainment platforms.
"Sports Night" lasted two seasons on ABC's
primetime schedule
Aaron Sorkin created "Sports Night" for ABC in '98, and the plot revolved around a fictional sports news show -- more than slightly resembling "SportsCenter" -- that focused on the ethical issues and personal lives of the characters. The two main characters were said to be based on Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick. The show brought a quick-witted, rapid-fire dialogue that would later characterize "The West Wing." However, the show struggled to find an audience and was canceled after two seasons.
"The Simpsons"
"The Simpsons" may predate SBD, but as the show grew in stature, so did the number of sports references. Sports personalities appearing on the show have included Venus and Serena Williams, Jeff Gordon, Danica Patrick, Bill James, Mike Scioscia, Bob Costas, Mitch Albom, Peyton and Eli Manning, Chuck Liddell and Mark Cuban. One episode even parodied "Moneyball," with Lisa Simpson deciding to manage Bart's Little League team using analytics and probabilities.
"Dancing With The Stars"
One group to take full advantage of "DWTS'" success, other than B-list actors, has been athletes. Sports stars ended up being the most successful group on the show, and in turn have used the show's popularity to raise their profile. Since the show began in '05, Emmitt Smith, Apolo Ohno, Helio Castroneves, Kristi Yamaguchi, Shawn Johnson, Hines Ward and Donald Driver have taken home a dancing title.
Easily the most controversial show we have seen has been this fictitious pro football drama that aired in '03. It was the first original series created by ESPN and dove head first into sensitive subjects about life as a pro football player. The show also drew respectable ratings and some critical praise. In the real world, what the show revealed was the tense relationship between a sports property and a network, as the NFL made known its objection to the show's content to its partner. After pressure from the highest levels of the league to ABC, the series was canceled after one season.
"Any Given Sunday" remains a cult classic despite
having a disappointing box office take
This '99 film by Oliver Stone revealed the dark side of pro football, including drug/PED use, injuries, prima donna players and front-office politics. The NFL refused use of its intellectual property or use of stadiums, as it knew the film would cast a poor light on the sport. The film had plenty of pre-release hype and drew a cult-like following for its entertaining, boozy look at the game. However, it was not a huge financial success, taking in only $75M domestically.
"Undercover Boss"
The CBS reality series almost immediately struck a chord in the way it humanized the senior executives at some of America's biggest companies. Sports companies have been a constant subject, as among the executives getting an unvarnished tutorial on the inner workings of their group have been Modell's Sporting Goods CEO Mitch Modell, Cubs co-Owner Todd Ricketts, TaylorMade CEO Mark King, NASCAR CMO Steve Phelps and Churchill Downs COO Bill Carstanjen. Each exec walked away from the experience unnoticed and seemingly humbled.
Danny McBride's Kenny Powers character
drew from John Rocker for inspiration
This brash HBO comedy may have jumped the shark, but the series, which began in '09 and recently aired its series finale, gave viewers an outlandish profile of fictional former baseball player Kenny Powers (Danny McBride). The series' anti-hero channeled his inner Rickey Henderson, constantly referring to himself in third person. He also still harbored visions of pro glory, albeit at times through drug-induced visions. The show incorporated minor league markets in the Carolinas as Powers at one time played for the Myrtle Beach Mermen.
"Hard Knocks"
The HBO series provided a revolutionary look at an NFL teams' training camps with raw, behind-the-scenes storytelling. The Ravens were the first team to appear in '01, and the show instantly became a hit with viewers. The Cowboys followed (and have appeared twice), as Jerry Jones tried to tap into the value and exposure the series offered. While viewers loved it, teams were less enamored with it and the series went on hiatus from '03-06, when HBO had difficulty attracting a team. Most recently, the NFL has debated forcing team participation on the show.
This groundbreaking HBO series, which debuted in '96, gave us a new comedic hero in sports agent Arliss Michaels (played by Robert Wuhl). His coming and goings in the sports world featured a revolving door of sports executives and athletes eager to appear on the show, despite often being the butt of jokes and athlete stereotypes. The show was often critically panned for its inside-sports references, but its loyal fan base kept "Arli$$" on the air for seven seasons.
"Jerry Maguire"
Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise gave us one of film's most iconic characters in the sports agent Jerry Maguire, which legend has was inspired by agent Leigh Steinberg. The '96 movie, which inspired a new generation of agents, also brought an authentic NFL feel, as the league agreed to participate. Reebok even signed on for product placement in the movie, and later sued when a fictional commercial did not make the final cut.
"Real Sports"
HBO again set a standard for original programming with the first real "60 Minutes"-style show devoted to sports. Others have followed, but "Real Sports," which debuted in '95, has set a standard for its in-depth reports on sensitive subjects and the outspoken nature of its host Bryant Gumbel. Gumbel has used his parting shots to compare David Stern to a plantation overseer during NBA labor talks and telling outgoing NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to show incoming boss Roger Goodell where he kept the "leash" he used for union leader Gene Upshaw.
Despite the decline in popularity for the sport of kings, horse racing is still fertile ground for an emotional Hollywood blockbuster. That was on full display with the "Seabiscuit," released in '03. The film, which garnered seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, was lauded for the realism of its action sequences at the racetrack. The film was also a box office success with $120M in domestic gross.
Cartman channels Bill Belichick to try and reach
his students during one "South Park" episode
The sports world is not immune from the edgy and often controversial satire of "South Park." The NFL concussion issue was a subject for the '12 season debut, while other issues have included NASCAR sponsorships and Tiger Woods getting treatment for sex addiction. During a more memorable episode in '08, Eric Cartman uses SpyGate as part of a spoof on the film "Stand and Deliver." Cartman: "Bill Belichick proved that in America, it's OK to cheat, as long as you cheat your way to the top!"
"30 for 30"
The "30 for 30" documentary series was the brainchild of Bill Simmons as a way to celebrate ESPN's 30th anniversary in '09. The films tackled a wide range of stories and attracted many heavy-hitting directors. Original subjects ranged from Wayne Gretzky's exit from Edmonton to Jimmy The Greek to Fernando Valenzuela. The project has been so successful for ESPN that it was extended past the original 30 films, with new topics ranging from Bo Jackson to John Spano.
"Friday Night Lights"
While the Buzz Bissinger book was released in '90 to critical success, "Friday Night Lights" would not see broader appeal until the film adaptation in '04. The success of the film led to NBC green-lighting a TV show, which was eventually moved to DirecTV's 101 network for Season 3. The show garnered critical praise and ended after five seasons, capped off by two prime-time Emmy awards for outstanding lead actor and outstanding writing in a drama series.
This '13 film by Ron Howard profiles the '76 F1 title chase between drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Coming off the heels of the highly lauded "Senna," this film also earned strong reviews for its feel and acting. However, the film has not been much of a financial success in the U.S., which has an audience traditionally indifferent to F1. The legacy of the film remains to seen, as awards season could give the film a lift.
"Saturday Night Live"
Many athletes have guest hosted "SNL," but Peyton Manning's appearance in '07 clearly stands out for its humor. Manning's edgy sketch as a United Way counselor working with kids was epic, with the QB telling one small child who dropped a pass, "Get your head out of your ass! You suck!" His brother, Eli, also guest hosted in recent years, as has Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, John McEnroe and Jeff Gordon, among others.
Sports Hits Broadway
Sports have not been confined to the big screen and TV, with Tony Ponturo and Fran Kirmser bringing Broadway patrons the story of Vince Lombardi in '10 and the relationship between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in '12. The plays were great crossover and brought a new demo to Broadway plays.
The Celebrity of Shaq
The biggest of personalities, literally and figuratively, Shaquille O'Neal has parlayed his playful nature and business acumen into a career stretching from the court to the recording studio to Hollywood and now to TV. His four rap albums sold over 1.4 million copies. "Blue Chips" in '94 was a minor success, but then came the highly panned "Kazaam" in '96 and "Steel" in '97. Nevertheless, Shaq remained a bankable commodity during his playing career and extended that into retirement.
"The League"
The setting of FXX's "The League," currently in its fifth season, is a group of dysfunctional friends and its fantasy football league. The concept seemed shaky at first, but Mark Duplass, one of the stars of the show, recently said that in Season 1, "there was a lot of groveling and begging, and a lot of NFL players saying, 'Who the hell are you?' Then the show kind of picked up steam and now it's really wild to see the players who love the show and want to come on."

Not content with attempting to dominate men's football, Manchester City are busy parking their tanks on the lawns of the women's game. All the indications are that once City Ladies enter England's revamped Women's Super League at the start of the new season in April, Arsenal's era of dominance could be curtailed.
Already City have signed a quartet of leading England internationals in Steph Houghton, Jill Scott, Karen Bardsley and Toni Duggan, but such an impressive commitment to the women's game at the Etihad Stadium comes in stark contrast to a general lack of interest at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have been without a ladies' team since 2005 and, increasingly aware of this void, 3,900 fans petitioned David Moyes in September, urging United's manager to put pressure on the powers that be to reinstate it.
A staunch supporter of the female game during his time at Everton – a club boasting a thriving women's side – and the father of a daughter who formerly starred for Preston North End Ladies, Moyes has duly helped instigate a review by the powers that be at Old Trafford.
City, meanwhile, have required no such spur to announce their arrival in the big time. Most recently members of the Women's Premier League, the English game's former second tier, they are entering the top division for the first time at a juncture when the WSL is expanding into two tiers of eight and 10 teams. Although largely semi-professional, teams are allowed four full-time professionals earning in excess of £20,000 per year.
City are joining Arsenal, Birmingham, Bristol Academy, Chelsea, Everton, Notts County and current champions Liverpool in the elite eight, with their ambition made plain by Houghton's capture from Arsenal. "I'm very excited," says the versatile full-back or midfielder. "I'm so glad that City came in for me because as soon as I heard their plans for the future, I knew I wanted to be part of them.
"Women's football is on the up and it's becoming more competitive. There are a lot of transfers going on at the moment because every club has a vision to compete at the highest level.
"City want to make sure they are one of the best clubs in England and their professionalism was so impressive. It was a massive decision for me to leave Arsenal, and I didn't take it lightly but I just couldn't turn the move down."
Duggan has been prised away from Everton. "City have always been a big club and when I met with them, I found that their plans for the women's game are massive," says the prolific striker. "I'm not going to lie, it's been hard leaving Everton but City are looking to take the game to the next level and that's what it needs."
She and her fellow internationals - scheduled to play their games at City's new academy – will be managed by Nick Cushing, an occupant of assorted coaching roles with the club's men's teams over the past seven years, when pre-season training gets underway in January.
"We want to play a major role in the WSL and a major role in women's football," says Cushing. "We're building a very exciting project, we're taking it very seriously and we're very much looking forward to getting started. It's a new league and a new adventure for us, but our aim is to be as competitive as we can."
Significantly the message has clearly been relayed from Abu Dhabi that the women must be offered every support by senior club officials. Brian Marwood, managing director of City football services, suggests that it is all part of a wider mission.
"Manchester City is committed to the development of football in every community, and to sharing its football resources and coaching capabilities across a wide range of ages and abilities," he says. "City Ladies entry in to the WSL is real evidence of this."
Back in City's "mission control centre" in the United Arab Emirates, Houghton and friends may even come to serve as role models for those pioneering young Emirati women who, last year, confounded quite a few cultural conventions by establishing a female football League.
"The women's game is continuing to grow at a pace with 28 million girls and women playing football worldwide, making it the most popular female participating team sport," says Marwood. "We look forward to the continuation of that growth, and to bringing the club closer to this global fanbase."

An influential think-tank wants Ottawa to adopt a "regulatory flexibility" that incorporates elements of a cap-and-trade system when it drafts much-anticipated emissions regulations for the oil and gas industry.
In a report released today, the International Institute for Sustainable Development, a non-partisan Canadian think-tank, points out that this system is already being used in the government's light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle greenhouse gas emissions regulations released over the past two years.
"It has elements consistent with cap and trade, but it's not cap and trade," David Sawyer, IISD's vice-president of climate, energy and partnerships and co-author of the report, explained to CBC News.
A cap-and-trade approach to reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that cause climate change has been a controversial topic in Ottawa lately.
The Conservative government has gone on the attack against the Opposition NDP, claiming its plan for a cap-and-trade system amounts to a $21-billion "carbon tax" that will drive up the price of goods in Canada. The NDP counters that the Conservatives themselves backed a cap-and-trade system in their 2008 budget before dropping it in favour of rules-based industry-specific emissions.
The main difference between regulatory flexibility and a cap-and-trade system is that there is no hard cap on emissions in the regulations, just an intensity target, says Sawyer. In other words, the regulations demand a per unit decrease in GHGs as opposed to a specific decrease for the entire industrial sector.
The way it works now for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle regulations is that if a company meets and exceeds its emissions target for a product, it can bank the difference. The company can then use that amount toward a future product that is over the GHG limit, or it can sell that amount to another company whose product is unable to comply. Unlike a true cap-and-trade system, trading can only occur within each industrial sector.
The IISD report suggests that the oil and gas regulations may need to be even more flexible than those for light and heavy vehicles if the sector hopes to meet targets that will help Ottawa achieve a 17 per cent cut in GHGs from 2005 levels by 2020.
Report tests 3 scenarios
The report mapped out two targets with three scenarios each to be met by 2020.
There was a 20 per cent intensity target, which would result in an estimated 30-megatonne overall GHG reduction; and a 50 per cent target resulting in a 84-megatonne reduction.
The scenarios included:
- A rigid scenario, in which each company must meet the target on its own.
- A scenario that envisioned trading within the sector, similar to the vehicle regulations.
- And a scenario that allowed the oil and gas industry to trade outside its industrial sector.
In the rigid scenario, the industry could not meet either target. In the second — trading within the sector — oil and gas could meet the 20 per cent target but not the more ambitious 50 per cent one.
To meet the 50 per cent target, the oil and gas industry would need to trade with sectors outside of its own. The report makes two suggestions on this front.
The first is something similar to what Alberta does with its carbon tax. The industry would set aside a certain amount of money into a technology fund depending on how far off target it is. That money would be used to develop clean technologies.
The second suggestion was to create some version of carbon offsets.
In 2010, the oil and gas industry was responsible for 22 per cent of Canada's GHG emissions, second only to the transportation sector.

London universities have been named and shamed as the highest institutions to be hit by robberies, violent and sex crimes and burglaries, it has been revealed.
According to a guide released on Tuesday, universities in inner London - London Metropolitan, King's College London and London South Bank - are the worst offenders while Leeds, Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan have the highest crime rates outside London.
Founder of the Complete University Guide - the company behind the rankings - said Information on crimes against students at universities should be made available to prospective undergraduates. This is the first time university campuses have been ranked in terms of safety.
Dr Bernard Kingston said his guide uses police crime statistics for crimes affecting all victims in council wards within three miles of a university's main campus because no specific statistics for crimes against students are available.
"Our new methodology allows potential students to assess the risks for individual institutions with much greater precision, at least for England and Wales," he said.
"In the absence of data for crimes affecting university students specifically, either on or off campuses, they offer the best available guide.
"But it would be reassuring for university applicants and their parents if such information was readily available from the universities.
"It is clearly a matter of considerable concern when considering where to study as an undergraduate."
The guide claims an estimated one-third of students become victims of crime, mainly theft and burglary, and about 20% of student robberies occur in the first six weeks of the academic year.
The Universities of Buckingham, Aberystwyth and Durham topped the list with the lowest overall crime rate.
The universities which had the five highest crime rates were:
- London Met
- King's College London
- London South Bank
- City University
- London School of Economics
Universities in London dominated the bottom end, filling the worst 18 places.
A spokesperson for London Met said the university has a "very low reported crime both within the university and impacting on our students" and added the guide's analysis should have been based on its Holloway campus, not the Aldgate campus.
"London Met is committed to ensuring that all students feel safe while they study with us," they continued to say.
"Our 2011 National Student Survey, which was filled out by over 2,000 final year students, revealed that they did not cite personal safety around London Met as a concern, and that they felt safe and secure at the institution."
Do you feel safe at your university? Let us know.
Previously the guide focused on cities with two or more universities, but expanded this year to include them all for England and Wales.
Kingston added: "Quality of tuition and the prospects for employment after graduation are key elements in choosing a university course, but it is important not to overlook other aspects of the environment in which the student will be living for three or more years.
"Our university cities do not exist in isolation from the communities within which they are located and, regrettably, crime is a constant presence."
Buckingham, the university with one of the lowest crime rates, is an independent institution with just 1,000 students based on its campus in the Home Counties town.
Professor Terence Kealey, its vice chancellor, said it had invested heavily in security, with entry to all building by electronic security pass only.
"The main issues would be people coming in from outside the university, either to steal from students' rooms or go to the bar and have a fight, something like that," he said.
"But we have tight security now, no one can get into any building without a pass."

Re: Sarah MARTIN Davis abt 1840 ?
In Response To: Sarah MARTIN Davis abt 1840 ? ()
Hi, I think I may have a candidate for your Sarah Martin Davis. Bear with me, this is kind of long.
Sarah, born 1836, was sold with her probable mother, Cyntha (Sinthy), born 1804, and brother, Willis, born 1834, to James Davis Jr. by his mother-in-law Elizabeth McAnally for $550 on 15 May 1838 (Stokes Co. Deed Book 12, page 382). Cyntha had previously been sold to McAnally with Siller (Priscilla) for $250 by Samuel Hill Sr. on 10 September 1828 (Stokes Co. Deed Book 9, p. 291). Siller went to Davis as well, since according to Daniel Mahar, "Siller Davis was the matriarch of a large family including Edmond or Edward and Wiley" (J. Daniel Mahar, posting on Afrigeneas, 5 September 2006).
Sarah was later bequeathed to Davis's daughter, Nancy (Nantie), the wife of Lemuel Pitzer, in a will dated 3 December 1864. On 18 June 1866, Brum Martin and Sarah Pitcher (Pitzer) stated that they had "commenced cohabiting together as man and wife about the year 1862." (Stokes Co. Register of Marriages of FPOC, p. 36). According to Daniel Mahar, Sarah was mentioned in an 1864 Davis letter as the wife of Brum and was a colored member of Davis Chapel, 1871 and 2 June 1877.
On 2 July 1870, Bram Martin, mulatto farm laborer born 1834, was living in Beaver Island with wife Sally (Sarah), black housewife born 1840, and children: Columbia (1862), Henny (1866), Walter (1867) and Pleasant (1868). All born NC. The same day, Susan Martin, born 1856, was working as a domestic servant for farmer William H. Flynt.
That's all I could find this morning, but it might give you some leads. Also, the Hollingsworths were a very important family in Mt. Airy; there may be some leads there. It looks like Susan went to work for them sometime in the 1870s; her mother followed late in the decade after Brum died. The Stuart/Stewarts were probably free people of color from Patrick Co. VA.
You may also check the Adkins, Davis, and Fulton Family Papers, 1856-1921 in the Southern Historical Collection at UNC, but that's a real needle in a haystack thing.
Good luck on your search -- Gordon

I don't expect America to be perfect, and I know America has made some mistakes. But boy do we know how to correct them. And we will self-correct from the mistake of electing Obama.
The anti-American naysayers declare that we are all from somewhere else -- the inherent message being that America was stolen and none of us can lay claim to the land. They say that we invaded what is now America, attacked the Indians, then took their land and livelihoods. We forced them to live in squalid camps. Liberals say that we took their dignity.
I admit that the Indians got a bad deal. A well-meaning group of immigrants left oppression, then came to America and oppressed. The interlopers got greedy and the Indians paid for it; many with their lives. We relocated the Indians from their homes and gave them the badlands. And if America had remained the America run by Democrat Andrew Jackson, who referred to the people whose land he stole as "savages," today I would be outraged. But today, the Indians have the opportunity to feast, and some are.
The Pequot Indians of Connecticut run the largest casino in America. The tribe guarantees every person in their nation a college education, and adults are guaranteed a $60K a year job, I'm told. That's better than the deal you can get from any Liberal, including the king of redistribution himself.
Speaking of Africans, Liberals say that Americans went to Africa, discovered black people, then enslaved them. Forced blacks to work on plantations as slaves. Liberals have certainly taken liberties with a common practice of the time, though an abhorrent one.
Nevertheless, when freedom was demanded, many Americans (Democrats) wanted to continue the practice. Republicans won, the slaves were freed, and despite Democrats' attempts to keep oppressing blacks, the American Spirit prevailed.
Thus, years later, black people have it pretty good in America. We don't own casinos; but we aren't doing too badly. We like it here, and we want to stay. It's a rare occasion for a black person to leave America, even to vacation. Blacks know about Africa, but American black people don't seem to want to live there.
Black Liberals adapt all kinds of African customs, hair styles, couture, dance, and so on, but they don't want to go live there, because Africa sucks. I'm not talking about their people, or the animals, or the natural wonders. That's all fantastic. I'm talking about their governments.
I'd rather live in Detroit than live in any country in Africa. On a continent with 53 countries run by black people, very few "African Americans" are searching for their roots and relocating to the Motherland.
Life in Africa is so bad that almost every African country has a lottery for Africans to get the opportunity to come to America.
This post was modified from its original form on 07 Oct, 3:14
Disgruntled blacks in American can go to live in Africa with no obstructions, and they will not go. Blacks who do visit Africa for the reasons mentioned earlier, visit, then get their butts back to America -- Land of the free, home of the African-American! And home of clean water and constant electrical service. Oh, and great food, and modern conveniences. Oh, and freedom!
Despite our problems, America remains the greatest country in the world. Sure there are shinier newer places, like Dubai. Big deal. Dubai will never have the "it" factor that America has, even if they possessed all the money in the world. Dubai is just the "flavor of the day."
The American Spirit cannot be purchased or duplicated.
America is one of the only countries that self-corrects. When America decided that slavery was wrong -- which occurred at the founding of our nation -- the Founding Fathers, some slave owners, wrote it out of the Constitution. The American Spirit prevailed over self-indulgence.
The American Spirit also overcame the poor treatment of women, a lesson the Middle East can learn.
The American Spirit trounced the lack of civil rights for blacks and other minorities, and it beat back discrimination against gays.
Rules that protect humanity were not written for America. All the war treaties that were enacted to show mercy in times of war were created for other countries, not us.
The treaty of 1839, the 1907 Hague Convention, the 1925 Geneva Protocol and so on were enacted because of the atrocities of other governments. And for the most part, America has been policing atrocities for decades, not committing them. America has been and will always be the voice of reason in warfare.
Who drops atomic bombs on people then decides that should never happen again. Can you imagine Hitler with nukes? Middle Eastern despots?
Under decades of Liberalism, America has fallen into decay. Obama's administration showcases the effects of unchecked Liberalism better than any other, with things like the big powerful malevolent government, reverse discrimination, rampant poverty, and the list goes on. However, America will self-correct. That is what the American Spirit is all about.

Great article, Diane. Kudos to Kevin Jackson & his column.
I have to add that once even American Indians were from someplace else. A number of years ago, Henry Louis Gates Jr. (of beer summit fame) had a program where Black Americans decided to leave the oppressive U.S. and live in Africa. Upon reaching shore they tossed away their passports. It didn't take long before those same people frantically scrambled to find their passports so they could return to America.
Diane, I appreciate this article as it states it very honestly and factually. The colonists and those Americans that made decisions regarding the Native Americans were so wrong in what they did. Many of the tribal elders had entered into the forced treaties and yet they were still stripped of the agreements these treaties guaranteed; we will always be responsible as a Nation for that and it is the darkest blot on our history.
As for the Black situation, there is a lot that is not stated. Consider that native Africans were selling their people into slavery for one thing, that it was the Dutch that first instituted and were resonsible for slave trading and brought these people to the American colonists. To enslave them was wrong when this is a country founded on all people being created equal and so that is a blight on the history of this Country as well.
However, the Republicans have tried to make this right and are responsible for doing just that. It is, as this article so honestly states, the Democrats that prefer to keep people "enslaved" or "on reservations" so that they can appear to be lavishing them with entitlement programs to "help" them when indeed it further enslaves them and controls them. There is nothing admirable in this at all. It should be government's aim to help all people better their station in life, not by entitlements, but by encouraging them to reach deep for their own resources and potential and to achieve this of their own accord.
Sandy, yes, I remember hearing of this before and it seems to say it all. Over the years I have had friends that have moved to other Countries or served on missions or the Peace Corp and the one thing they all say is that they learned very rapidly that there is no where else in the world they want to live than the USA. Further, that they could not wait to get back home, the were pleased that they could make a difference (those in the Peace Corp) but they still were so happy to return home.
I wish we could bundle up all those radical liberals that are so anti USA and send them to some of the different 3rd world countries or even some of the countries run by dictators or communists and let them find out just what it is like. Even the Muslim Countries would be a good place to send them. Consistently you will hear from the military personnel coming home from the Middle East just how horrific it is and that they are so grateful that they are out of it; and you then understand their concerns and frustrations to see the politically correct manner in which we are expected to treat Muslims in the US. This is not the Middle East, those coming here need to remember what all the immigrants have had to remember, you come here and you are expected to adapt to the American way of life. Christianity is the major religion but you are allowed religious freedom; that means to worship as you chose, but it also means that you show complete and total religioius tolderance to all other religions. You are to honor religious freedom to all, not dictate that your religion is the only one to have special treatment and considerations.
That means that the language of the Nation is English, you must learn English and special considerations are not to be put in place to accommodate your use of your native language.
You are allowed to follow your ethnic customs but not to expect that all of the people of this Country must conform to your ethnic customs.
And probably the basic concept of interpersonal relationships and communication, you must show common consideration for the peoople around you; allow them their rights and do not expect to supercede their rights with your own; work together. I do not see that effort with the bulk of the Muslim population. I am sure there are those that are willing to concede these things; but the Imams and more radical absolutely do not accept this. And to make matters worse, we have a President that incites them to continue this pursuit.
We have a President that is all about concern for whom he perceives as the "downtrodden" to the point that he has given them rights that allow the majority of Americans to become "downtrodden". There is no effort on his part to bring all people to work together for the best of this Country, just as there is no effort to bring Congress and himself to bipartisan effort. It is all about destroying those things that have made this Country exceptional and great and rewriting it to the point that we are no better and in most cases even worse than third world countries that are completely unable to work together. The Countries of the Middle East have their ethnic differences and they are constantly at war with each other; that is what he is trying to accomplish in the US, to pit ethnic groups against each other.

Mike Fish can do it all on baseball diamond. The Bethlehem High senior outfielder hits for average and power, he runs the bases exceptionally and he may not have a defensive equal in Section II.
Siena College coach Tony Rossi recognized those qualities in Fish and the senior has made an oral commitment to compete for the Saints. He will sign his national letter of intent next month.
Fish batted .482 with 32 runs scored and 21 RBI for the Eagles in 2007. Over the summer, Fish hit .378 with 27 runs and 21 steals for the South Troy dodgers' Connie Mack team of the Atlantic Coast Elite Baseball League.

The Red Hawks rapped out 14 hits as they got back to the .500 mark at 9-9 overall, 3-1 in the NJAC. MSU has won three of its last four contests.
Sophomore second baseman Matt Connors (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ / Hasbrouck Heights) had two hits for the Scarlet Raiders, who fell to 12-7, 3-2 in the conference. The loss was just the second in the last eight games for Rutgers-Newark.
Raider starter Kevin Matawa (Wood-Ridge, NJ / Wallington) and Recchia matched scoreless inning through the first three with the latter putting up a fourth shutout inning before Montclair State put up five runs in the fourth to break the scoreless tie. It would be the first of five straight innings that MSU plated runs.
Jay Bionde (Pompton Plains, NJ / Pequannock) led off with a single and stole second. After a walk to Evangelist, both runners moved up on a ground out. Ed Kloepping (Pennsville, NJ / Pennsville) drew a free pass to load the bases before Michael Boggi (Towaco, NJ / Montville) bounced into a fielder's choice brought home Bionde with the first run. The ball was misplayed allowing Evangelist to score as MSU led 2-0. Kloepping would score on a balk and the Red Hawks would execute a double steal with Boggi taking home for a four-run advantage. Matt Hartwick (Ringwood, NJ / Lakeland Regional) plated the final run with an RBI single.
Montclair would tack on three more in the fifth. Zach Brown (Green Village, NJ / Morristown) singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bionde. Evangelist then crushed a 2-2 pitch over the right field wall for his second homer of the season and a 7-0 MSU lead. Three pitches later it was Bond's turn as he deposited a ball over the left-center wall for his team-leading fourth as Montclair led 8-0.
Bionde added a RBI single in the sixth inning, and after Rutgers-Newark got on the board in the seventh, the Red Hawks got that run back in its half as Jason Lopez (West New York, NJ / Memorial) collected an RBI single. Mike Ercolano (Vernon, NJ / Vernon) accounted for the final two runs with a double in the eighth.
Recchia (1-1) struck out four and walked two as he picked up his first decision of the year (1-0). He allowed five hits, four of them singles before three MSU relievers recorded the final nine outs. Matawa (1-1) suffered the loss allowing seven runs (four earned) and five hits in 4.1 innings. He struck out one and walked two.
Bionde and Brown each had two hits for Montclair State.
Both teams return to action with NJAC contests. Montclair State is off until Saturday, April 4 as they travel to Mahwah for a doubleheader with Ramapo beginning at 12:00 pm. Rutgers-Newark is at Riverfront Stadium on Friday, April 3 as the Scarlet Raiders host William Paterson at 3:30 pm.

Spring and Summer Getaway to El Vendrell and Coma-ruga
A visit to the birthplace of a world-renowned Catalan
El Vendrell and Pau Casals are inseparable. The musician was born and lived there for the first period of his life, before exile took him away from the Baix Penedès and the Costa Daurada. His memory permeates the whole town: you can visit his family home, where he spent his summers, the auditorium is named after him, a beautiful sculpture by Joseph Viladomat in Plaça Nova pays homage to him... even the motorway that takes us to the town bears his name. But El Vendrell offers plenty of other things to enjoy during a short but activity-packed getaway.
Morning day 1: The world of Pau Casals
There's no time to waste so as soon as we get to El Vendrell we'll start tracing the roots of its most famous native. Pau Casals' family home isn't hard to find, it's just a stone's throw away from Plaça Nova, at number 4 Carrer de Santa Anna. During the hour-long guided visits to the house, the guides endeavour to reveal the human side of the composer and musician. For example, they'll explain that his mother had eleven children, of whom only three made it to adulthood, and that the house was first rented by Casal's parents on their wedding day. In fact, his father came to the town to tune the church's organ, fell in love with the place, and decided to stay. Pau Casals always said that his love of music came to him from his father and his love of peace from his mother.
The house is simple, and though the furniture is not original, it does date from the same period in which Pau Casals walked up and down those dark, narrow stairs, thanks to donations have been made over the years. Among the original elements that have been conserved are the front door and a number of doors that come complete with cat doors so that the house cats could roam freely around and scare away the mice. Those were different times. The period in which Casals died in exile in Puerto Rico in 1973 was also, luckily, very different from the present: during the visit we discover that when the news of his death reached El Vendrell, many neighbours came to the family house to leave floral tributes while the people in the town got together to organize an unofficial homage since the town hall, following orders "from above", distanced itself completely from the proceedings. Those who organized the tribute later suffered persecution.
El Vendrell offers a number of combined routes under the heading The World of Pau Casals which, as well as taking visitors to his family home, allow them to explore Vil·la Casals, his summer home from 1910 to 1939, which is now a museum. To do so, we'll have to travel a few kilometres towards the sea, to Sant Salvador, where the white walled Vil·la Casals stands on the seashore. It was here that Casals came seeking a refuge of peace and tranquillity between world tours. Located nearby, the auditorium, designed by the architect Jordi Bonet, also bears his name and offers a programme of concerts throughout the year. Reopened as a museum in June 2001, Vil·la Casals tells the story of his life and professional career through audiovisual presentations and original objects and documents. Before your visit, be sure to check out the Vil·la Casals agenda for details of concerts, conferences and night visits.
Afternoon day 1: A dip in Riuet de Coma-ruga
If the weather is good, you can head for the nearby township of Coma-ruga to take a dip in medicinal waters, an activity that is especially recommended if you're travelling with children. Here, the leisure area called Riuet i Estany, located on Coma-ruga beach, is ideal for a refreshing and safe family dip. The curative properties of waters in this stream and pond, which have their source in the Bonastre massif, have been known since the 19th century, when building work in the area started with the construction of a spa. Nowadays, the waters have been canalised, which has done nothing to impair their medicinal properties, and despite the proximity of extensive beaches, you will always find both old and young people splashing about here. On the road to Sant Vicenç, at the entrance (or exit) to El Vendrell, you will find Cellers Avgvtvs Forvm, which offer guided visits and the opportunity to taste three vintage wines and vinegars. The winery's name comes in part from its vines, which are planted along a stretch of the ancient Via Augusta. So now you know, here you'll find vines whose roots stretch down and back in history to produce DO Penedès wine.
Morning day 2: The notary Antoni Deu collection and the sculptor Apel·les Fenosa Foundation
We did warn you that there are plenty of things to see and do here apart from exploring the life of Pau Casals. First, we'll visit Museu Deu, which contains one of the most outstanding art collections in Catalonia, including works by Joaquim Mir, Martí Alsina, Ramon Casas, and members of the Olot School.
The museum owes its existence to a donation made by the notary Antoni Deu in 1987 and was officially opened eight years later in an ancient mansion house at number 6 Plaça Nova. With a constantly renovated exhibition catalogue, made evident by the fact that you'll be furnished at the reception with one of those modern devices that use QR codes to get information on the art works in the collection, the museum has three floors of exhibition space, of which the ground floor is the most spectacular. Here you will walk on glass floors covered by a magnificent collection of oriental rugs and through rooms rich in religious sculptures including a striking Romanesque crucifix.
On the upper floors you'll find works by the aforementioned artists and a remarkable collection of sculptures (by Clarà, Llimona, Hugué...), as well as items of Catalan blown glass.
We'll now head for the Casa del Portal de Pardo, one of the most emblematic and unique buildings in El Vendrell, which dates from the 16th century, in order to explore the sculptures in the collection of the Fundació Apel·les Fenosa. Sculptor Apel·les Fenosa fell in love with this house one day when he was passing through El Vendrell on his way to Montblanc in 1957. Despite some financial difficulties he decided to buy it and use it as a study and seasonal home. The name of the house comes from its location, next to one of the portals or gateways in the town's ancient walls and, while its façade is outstanding, the interior, and especially its splendid sunlit garden, designed by his wife, Nicole and decorated by Apel·les Fenosa with a number of his own works, are also well worth visiting.
If you have time, either this morning or in the afternoon, have a stroll around the town's pedestrian streets, which, like the nearby Coma-ruga, offer a diverse array of shops, bars and restaurants.
Afternoon day 2: Towels and sun cream
The end of our visit is approaching and you won't forgive yourself if you leave without experiencing one of the beaches of El Vendrell. Here you have various kilometres of blue flag quality beaches with fine golden sand. So let's grab a towel and some sun cream and head for the previously mentioned beaches of Coma-ruga or Sant Salvador, or the beach at Francàs. Each has its own charm, but whichever one you choose, you'll leave with a good, if rather salty, aftertaste and a desire to come back one day to El Vendrell and its surroundings.
Where to stay and where to eat
Cultural venues
Apel·les Fenosa Foundation
Located in the artist's summer residence and studio, a restored 16th century building with a beautiful Mediterranean garden, the Foundation's museum contains an important collection of original sculptures in terracotta and plaster, as well as a selection of monumental bronzes.
- C/ Major, 25, (El Vendrell)
Pau Casals House Museum
This house-museum near the sea is where the musician Pau Casals rested during his breaks between world tours and where visitors can now explore his career and the gardens, sculpture gallery and music room of the house, which was reformed by architect Antoni Puig i Gairalt in the 1930s.
- Av. Palfuriana, 67, (El Vendrell)
Pau Casals' birthplace
In the centre of Vendrell we can visit the house in which Pau Casals was born and where he spent his childhood and youth. It's a humble house with furniture dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. The guided visits allow visitors to learn about the human side of Catalonia's greatest cellist and explore his origins and how his home town greeted the news of his death.
- C/ de Santa Anna, 4, (El Vendrell)
Deu Museum
This is one of the most important art collections open to the public in Catalonia, thanks to the donations of the notary Antoni Deu. The ground floor rug room is exceptional, as are the upper floors with valuable examples of sculptures, jewellery and blown-glass.
- Plaça Nova, 6, (Tarragona)

Rice-a-Roni Meatballs Recipe
So as many of you know, Jonathan, Tessa and I are staying with my parents while we wait for our house to close. (Tentative date set for May 23rd. I'M SO IMPATIENT!)
While staying with my parents, I've been privy to some of the good ol' Edmonds family recipes. So when my mom decided to make my childhood favorite, rice-o-roni meatballs, I pretty much flipped the freak out. I didn't know mom had dinner planned, ate out with the hubby and when I came home to smell these bad boys, I gorged myself and may have, uh, eaten all the leftovers. I have no shame, these guys are delicious!
But anyway. I know I have prided myself on predominantly natural / health food and boozy recipes on my blog, and this doesn't exactly fall into either category. But this is an oooooooold family recipe, and I simply have to share, because these meatballs are pretty much crack rolled up into instant rice goodness. Check it out!
- 1 Pound of Hamburger
- 1 Box Beef Rice-a-Roni
- 1 Egg
- 1 Teaspoon of Garlic
- ½ Teaspoon of Salt
- ½ Teaspoon of Pepper
- 1 Cube of Beef Bouillon
- 1 Teaspoon of Parsley Flakes
- A couple dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
- Mix up the dry Rice-a-Roni with the hamburger and egg. Add the herbs, spices, and seasonings (you can always adjust to taste, similar to mixing up meatloaf). Save the seasoning packet that comes with the Rice-a-Roni box for later.
- Form the meatballs into walnut sized balls.
- Brown the meatballs on all sides in oil, remove from pan & drain excess oil from pan. Put meatballs back into pan (use a large deep frying pan with a lid). Make sure to keep them in a single layer.
- Mix up the Rice-a-Roni seasoning packet and beef bouillon in some warm water, and add to the meatballs in the pan. Add just enough water to cover the meatballs. Cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer. When the water is absorbed, the meatballs will be done. They can take between 20-30 minutes total.

Y.O.L.O — it's more than just a regrettable lower back tattoo popular among teenage pop hip-hop enthusiasts, it's also a relatively new Beaumont club. Located in what used to be The Ticket and Club Upscale, Y.O.L.O generally opens for teen nights but tonight the club is kicking off a series of Latin nights featuring local bands and DJs.
Friday night's line-up includes DJ Outbreak and the band Kumbion Zelekta, a band that is basically impossible not to dance to. P.S., this event is BYOB, which will probably save you from your usually regrettable Friday night bar tab.
When: 9 p.m. Friday
Where: 3684 College St., Beaumont
Cost: $10

Maybe teen starlet Selena Gomez had too much free time on her hands. The Disney actress and lead singer of Selena Gomez and The Scene has decided to branch out into fashion with the start of her own line, WWD reports. Gomez, 17, teamed up with former Generra designer Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos to create Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez. The line focuses on "pretty, feminine and bohemian" clothing, which, according to Gomez, mirrors her own style.
"Growing up in Texas, I was sort of close-minded and kind of a tomboy, but as I've traveled, I found such a love of clothes," Gomez told WWD while primping for a day of filming on the set of Wizards of Waverly Place. "It's really always been a dream of mine to have a line."
Melillo says the young actress is wise beyond her years. "She has such a good sense of what she likes and what she doesn't like," he said. "It was surprising as I've never worked with someone so young, and never really expected her to be that smart. She has a desire to be involved, and nothing is sent out there without her approval. It's nice to see her have this genuine interest."
Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez is expected to launch Fall '10.

Acknowledgement Aaron Crane for an elegant test and for inspiration for a direction. Feature: Added Net::DNS::Domain Net::DNS::Domain is an attemt to consistently approach the various ways we interface with what RFC 1035 calls <domain-name>. The class and its test script t/02-domain.t are included to be exposed to various architectures. The class and its methods may be subject to change, both in terms of naming and functionality. A contribution by Dick Franks Fix improved fuzzy matching of CLASS and TYPE in the Question constructor method. A contribution by Dick Franks. Fix rt.cpan.org #43770 Update->rr_del() was reported broken for AAAA after 0.65. The same bug also occured in HINFO RR. Fix rt.cpan.org #43765 Code inconsistent with documentation for loop_once. Note: Keeping timeout undefined in loop_once will now block until something arrived on the socket. Fix rt.cpan.org #47050 Fixed logic error in bgsend socket acquisition code. Fix rt.cpan.org #47265 (partial) Frequently Net:DNS under Windows XP has a UDP problem which is caused by a buggy implementation of SOCKS under Windows. One liner added to not continue UDP processing when that happens. Feature KX RR Added support for the KX RR, RFC2230 The implementation is trivial since the KX inherets almost all of its functionality by inheritance from the MX RR. Fix NSAP RR string representation RFC1706 specifies the masterfile format to have a leading "0x" and optional dot. This was not how the RR was represented with the rdatastr method (and hence string and print). Fix rt.cpan.org #52307 AAAA v4compat parsing bug Acknowledgement: BLBLACK Fix AAAA dynamic update Dynamic update of AAAA caused FORMERR on the prerequisite caused by AAAA creating rdata even when an address whas never specified. This fix may cause difference in behavior for people who expect a NULL address ("::") when creating a AAAA without an address specified. Feature HIP RR Added support for the HIP RR, RFC5205 perldoc Net::DNS::RR::HIP for more information. Feature DHCID RR Added rudimentary support for the DHCID RR. Fix rt.cpan.org #50883 This is basically #11931 but for cygwin. Codepath in Cygwin and Win32 are now the same. This adds a dependency in cygwin. Acknowledgements "mikaraento" Fix rt.cpan.org #45407 and #43190 Fixed escaping of semicolon. Note a change in behavior: For TXT and SPF the rdatastr method (and therefore the print, and string method) returns the escaped format while the chr_str_list method will return unescaped format. Fix rt.cpan.org #43393 Typo in 01-resolver.t Fix rt.cpan.org #43273 Added check for unitialized opcode in headermask in Nameserver.pm Fix rt.cpan.org #46635 Minor documentation error in opt.pm Fix rt.cpan.org #51009 Fixed handling of empty string in Net::DNS::stripdot. Elegant one-liner supplied by JMEHNLE. Fix rt.cpan.org #49035 Comment parsing fixed: Semicolon in character string blocks (such as in TXT and NPTR) were only recognized when escaped. Also fixed the NAPTR regular expression to not interpret "bla' 'foo" as two strings bla and foo, but as one: bla' 'foo Fix cd flag settings Resolver bug and fix reported by Jon Haidu.

2010 Honda Fit Hatchback - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Great big little car
By UofAalum on
Vehicle2010 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewTraded a 2008 Altima 6-speed manual for the 5-speed manual base Fit (which was hard to find, but I only buy manuals). Amazing interior room for the exterior size. Great ride and handling. While it wouldn't win a drag race with the Altima, it is just as much fun to drive. Test drove the Sport with the paddle shifters, but the manual is much more responsive -- sure, there's some engine noise when you get up into the power range (>4K RPM), but it's smooth as silk at all RPM and if you keep it in its power range it's very responsive. Getting 31 mpg in town and up to 40 on the road at speeds of 60- 70. Above 70 mph the MPG drops fast as RPM go well above 3K. Great car!
Best FeaturesSlick manual transmission that, when used correctly, makes it a fine performer. Great interior room and very supportive seats. Great ride for a car of this size. Nice dash and controls. Exterior looks are good to me, but fairly radical and may not suit everyone. Fun to drive factor is a 10.
Worst FeaturesNeeds a 6-speed manual for freeway cruising at lower RPM. Lack of standard keyless entry on base model. Power lock control is only available at the drivers seat. Huge A-pillar blocks view on sharp left curves on mountain roads.

Content Sharing Graphs for Deduplication-Enabled Storage Systems

AbstractDeduplication in storage systems has gained momentum recently for its capability in reducing data footprint. However, deduplication introduces challenges to storage management as storage objects (e.g., files) are no longer independent from each other due to content sharing between these storage objects. In this paper, we present a graph-based framework to address the challenges of storage management due to deduplication. Specifically, we model content sharing among storage objects by content sharing graphs (CSG), and apply graph-based algorithms to two real-world storage management use cases for deduplication-enabled storage systems. First, a quasi-linear algorithm was developed to partition deduplication domains with a minimal amount of deduplication loss (i.e., data replicated across partitioned domains) in commercial deduplication-enabled storage systems, whereas in general the partitioning problem is NP-complete. For a real-world trace of 3 TB data with 978 GB of removable duplicates, the proposed algorithm can partition the data into 15 balanced partitions with only 54 GB of deduplication loss, that is, a 5% deduplication loss. Second, a quick and accurate method to query the deduplicated size for a subset of objects in deduplicated storage systems was developed. For the same trace of 3 TB data, the optimized graph-based algorithm can complete the query in 2.6 s, which is less than 1% of that of the traditional algorithm based on the deduplication metadata.

|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Choosing data file size for a multi TB database?
Hi Matthew,
I agree that CKPT may become the bottleneck soner then
I thought.
It looks obvious that CKPT breaking point is when DBWR is faster doing I/O in parallel while CKPT needs to do things in serial and suddenly becomes the bottleneck in doing the database checkpoint.
I agree that the CKPT can be slow because it needs to write all things to the control file, read and write to the datafile header (direct path read and write), ....
But I am curious out of these 15 minutes what is taking the majority of time? Which waits?
If you have 4000 files you will probably need at least 4000 + (the number of control files) * 4000 writes and at least 4000 reads + not sure how many control file sequential reads.
We all know that just doing 20000 I/O operations are
taking some time :)
Is this the case here?
