She'll speak in Youngquist Auditorium beginning at 2 p.m.
Minor league baseball executive Tyler Tumminia will be speaking at the University of Minnesota, Crookston on Tuesday, March 12, 2013, at 2 p.m. in Youngquist Auditorium located in the Northwest Research and Outreach Center.
Tumminia is senior vice president with the Goldklang Group, a minor league baseball ownership consortium that currently owns/manages five ball clubs in various markets throughout the U.S. She oversees operations of the Group's five teams, as well as their marketing and broad scale sponsorship, baseball operations, and communication efforts. Her visit is sponsored by Concerts and Lectures at the U of M, Crookston. The event is free and the public is invited to attend.
Tumminia developed the award winning marketing philosophy, "Be Your Own Fan," and her development of the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame has received tremendous recognition throughout the industry, and has been hailed as a game-changer in how scouts are perceived at the local levels. She is co-owner of the Pittsfield Suns, a collegiate summer baseball team located in Pittsfield, Mass.
Lacole McPherson, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Business Department is pleased to bring someone of Tumminia's caliber to campus. "The opportunity to hear Tyler Tumminia will be a highlight for our sport and recreation management students, but it is also a great chance for the campus and community to learn from her," McPherson says. "We are fortunate to have someone with her talent, influence, and leadership abilities coming to our campus to share."
This past September, Tumminia was the first female executive to partake in the MLB Scout School in Phoenix, Ariz. She developed the Group's marketing philosophy, Be Your Own Fan, in response to current market trends and industry analysis. In addition she is responsible for the largest group-wide partnership with a major brand and the largest singular themed promotional event.
She is a recipient of the Roland Hemond, MASA and Marcom awards for excellence in her field, and in 2011 was named Executive of the Year by NYU's Sports Management program. Beginning in September 2013, she has been an adjunct professor in the sport business management program at Manhattanville College, a four-year liberal arts college and graduate school in Purchase, New York.

Bon Jovi Thinks Steve Jobs Killed Music; More Old Rockers Shooing Those Darn Kids Off Their Lawn
from the change-is-hard dept
Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it.... God, it was a magical, magical time... I hate to sound like an old man now, but I am, and you mark my words, in a generation from now people are going to say: 'What happened?' Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business.At least he recognizes he sounds like an old man. And it may have been magical for him, but what about all the people who bought the album based on the jacket and it turned out to be crap. You know what many people think is actually magical? That they can listen to what they want, wherever they want, and being able to find and access all sorts of new music they might never have found out about otherwise. I don't know, but it strikes me that today is a much more magical time in terms of what the fans get.

Jay Z Can't Avoid Depositions in Roc-A-Fella Logo Lawsuit
Jay Z may have been dodging this for almost two years now, but it looks like the rapper, along with Damon Dash and Universal Music Group, has been ordered to provide proper documentation and depositions for a lawsuit regarding the Roc-A-Fella logo.
In July 2012, Dwayne Walker, a New York City designer and creator of the Roc-A-Fella logo in 1995, filed a lawsuit against the hip-hop mogul that includes breach of contract and copyright infringement.
Walker claims that Jay, Dash and Kareem Burke promised the designer $3,500 and 2 percent of revenues for 10 years following the first year the logo would be used. While he received the fee, Walker never got the percentage of the revenues. According to reports, he's owed $7 million in unpaid royalties.
"We are pleased with the court's order," Gregory Berry, Walker's attorney, explained in a statement. "For over 18 months Jay-Z and the other defendants have done everything they can to avoid swearing under oath to the events that led to the creation of the logo. With the decision today, the defendants' delay tactics must stop, and Mr. Walker's quest for justice can move forward."
According to Radar Online, Walker filed court papers claiming that he had not heard from Jay Z and handed the situation to the courts to handle accordingly.

Shellfish Allergy Diet for Children
Shellfish Allergy Diet for Children
General guidelines for shellfish allergy
The key to an allergy-free diet is to avoid giving your child the foods or products containing the food to which he or she is allergic. The items to which your child is allergic are called allergens.
A shellfish allergy is an abnormal response of the immune system to the proteins found in shellfish. People allergic to one type of shellfish are often allergic to other types. To avoid foods that contain shellfish proteins, it is important to read food labels.
For foods regulated by the FDA, the federal Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires food labels list shellfish in the list of ingredients of products that contain shellfish. Some manufactures voluntarily include statements such as "may contain shellfish" or "may be made in a facility that processes shellfish."
The lists below may not contain all food and personal care products that could contain shellfish, they can help guide your decisions. It is up to you to carefully read all food labels.
How to read a label for a shellfish-free diet
Be sure to avoid foods that contain any of the following ingredients:
Clams (cherrystone, littleneck, geoduck, pismo, quahog)
Cockle, periwinkle, sea urchin
Crawfish, crawdad, crayfish, ecrevisse, krill
Limpet (lapas, opihi)
Lobster, langouste, langoustine, Moreton bay bugs, scampi, coral, tomalley
Octopus, squid (calamari)
Sea cucumber (often used in Asian soups)
Sea urchin
Shrimp, prawns, crevette, scampi
Snail (escargot)
Squid (calamari)
Whelk (turban shell)
The following foods may indicate that shellfish protein is present:
Cuttlefish ink
Fish stock
Seafood flavoring (crab, clam extract)
Any food–even a nonseafood item–that is made in a seafood restaurant could be cross-contaminated with fish or shellfish.
Some fish-allergic individuals may react to cooking odors or from touching shellfish or fish.
Use caution when eating in Asian restaurants. Fish sauce is often used as a flavor enhancer.
Shellfish protein can become airborne in the steam released during cooking. Avoid steam tables or buffets where seafood is displayed and served.

Sneakers Consulting
Sneakers Consulting is firstly a blog, then a business idea.
Sneakers Consulting's goal is to explain how business and consulting could be different.
I'm mad of sneakers ! As a consultant and entrepreneur, one of my frustrations is that i can't wear my sneakers in any circumstances. Also, one of the reason why i gave this name to this initiative, is that i dream of the day when business and consulting will be driven by cool guys wearing sneakers and jeans instead of black suits ! ;-)
This is the place for a new kind of entrepreneurs :
- for whom lifestyle is more important than money;
- who wants to see business differently;
- who solve problems with disruptive innovations;
- who leverage on technologies;
- who want to act for a better world.
- So, you'll have understand that the logo must represent sneakers in it !
- The two words «sneakers consulting» must appear in the logo.
- The logo must emphasize freedom, a positive mindset and success.
- It must be something inspiring, cool, and modern.
Logo format requested
- PSD (RGB) - All layer and fonts must be included
- AI (CMYD), JGP and GIF

Today you will get the chance to experience it close up and see some stunning landscapes interspersed with lava flows and a wide variety of trees and plants. You will go up to 2000 metres (weather permitting) where you'll get a splendid panorama of the Ionian Sea. First stop will be the beautiful gorge discovered in 1950 in the Alcantara Valley and then the little village of Zafferana Etnea. Volcanic soils are incredibly fertile and on the lower slopes you will see extensive vineyards and orchards.

Season Mode is the classic sports-game mode where you play through the schedule of a team. The similar General Manager Mode takes you through a season but opens up some extra team-managing shenanigans to engage in. Another mode lets you transplant NHL legends to the modern era and play their career. At their core, these game variations are like different spices on the same dish. They don't offer enough originality to engage players not interested in or bored by the core game.
Versions of these game modes, however, exist in the online content of the game. GM Connected takes the General Manager Mode online, and players can be created in a similar style to Live the Life in the EA Sports Hockey League. Essentially, most of the game can be played online with others. This increases the fun of the game; nothing satisfies quite as much as planting a friend into the ice. One major part of the game not included in the online content is NHL 94 Anniversary.
The graphics and sounds of NHL 14 compliment each other well. The life-like figures take full advantage of the capabilities of current-gen systems. The fluid skating motions never break. The appropriate skating sound accompanies players as they take a long zag or stop suddenly for a U-turn. The spot-on sound effects, combined with the realistic visuals, create a compelling representation of a hockey game.
All in all, NHL 14 is a very polished game that takes full advantage of its subject to create an intense, thrilling sports title. Its brutal, energetic nature offers a unique experience that most gaming versions of sports lack, and it's definitely my favorite sports game of the year. I recommend this game both to hockey fans and non-fan gamers. Although I had never played an EA Sports NHL game before today, I'll definitely be playing one tomorrow.

As you may well have already read on my earlier post, it was my first wedding anniversary on Sunday. I often make gifts for people on birthdays and at Christmas, and this special occasion seemed like a good excuse to get crafting too.
First of all I decided to make a little book for him, a sort of collecting book for anniversaries. I drew a little picture to represent the traditional gift given on all the key anniversaries, then bound them into a little map covered book (maps being a favourite of ours and a theme at our wedding). I was rather pleased with the result, and I look forward to Adam 'collecting' anniversaries for a long time to come!
We've been having a bit of a copper obsession lately (long before it became so trendy, I might add!) and I actually tried to find some copper julep cans for Adam's Christmas gift. I couldn't manage to find any that were quite right at the time though, but I persisted and found a great set of quite old ones that needed a spruce up. Several hours of boiling in sea salt and vinegar, and yet more hours scrubbing them with citrus fruits later, and they're almost perfect! I'm looking forward to tasting cocktails in them soon!
Last of all I decided to attempt a paper cut for Adam. Because the traditional first anniversary gift is paper (I opted to go mostly with the US list as it makes more sense than the UK one!) I thought this would be a nice thing to keep, and also to frame in our new home.
I first drew a design on grid paper in pencil (using a hot hair balloon and a Winnie the Pooh quote, both of which were inspirations for our wedding), then transferred it in reverse onto the back of my heavy paper using carbon paper. Then it was a case of carefully cutting out the negative space with a scalpel (I swear by the Swann Norton handle with AA blade)….I found it best to start in the middle and work outwards so that I wasn't pulling on any of the supporting pieces excessively. I also (despite my preference!) decided it best to cut out the really tricky and small fiddly bits first, as the larger and simpler ones required less effort.
Once I'd finished cutting, I created my backing paper by painting another sheet of heavy paper using gouache, starting with a blue at the top and fading into a green at the bottom. Then it was just a case of framing the paper cut and backing together…and I'm ever so pleased with how it turned out! In fact, Adam loved it so much we got quite emotional (perhaps also because he had an idea of how many hours I'd spent on it!).
Perhaps best of all though was Adam's gift to me….another project to work on together! Rather fittingly, he had found and had sent from the US for me a copy of 'Our Adventure Book' from the Pixar film 'Up!'. It was made by the people who first made the album for the production team on the movie, and has our little tagline 'An Adventure Begins' on the spine.
It's full of gorgeous paper pages for us to fill with photos, notes, sketches and other bits and bobs from our wedding…..I can't wait to fill it up together and make a real project of it! This may have to wait until after we've moved though, as most of our wedding stuff is still boxed up in various places!

WINTHROP Unfavorable weather conditions have prompted postponement of spring prescribed burning today in the Methow Valley Ranger District.
The district had planned to do some under-burning on about 20 acres in the Fawn Creek area about 10 miles west of town.
However, the National Weather Service forecast strong, erratic winds this afternoon into tomorrow, and the ranger district wasn't able to get smoke approval from the state Department of Natural Resources, Assistant Fire Management Officer Meg Trebon said.
"We have no plans to burn over the weekend at this point, and will reassess burn conditions for Monday or later next week," she said.
Other areas slated for treatments this spring are northwest of town near Eightmile Creek, west of Twisp near Little Bridge Creek and west of Methow in the McFarland Creek and Squaw Creek drainages.
Tonasket Ranger District also plans prescribed burning treatments in the Mount Annie and Lyman Lake areas, both southeast of Tonasket; the Mutton area north of Conconully, and the North Flank project area near Havillah.
Area residents are warned they may see smoke during the treatments.

The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy is a graduate school offering a range of professional degrees in international affairs. The two-year Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) is the School's flagship international affairs degree. While the degree's name includes its historical "law and diplomacy" origins, the MALD is much more -- it provides an outstanding academic and professional foundation in economics, business, politics, history, and law.
The MALD is academically rigorous, professionally relevant, and truly interdisciplinary. It provides students the knowledge and tools necessary to tackle with world's most challenging problems. By connecting theory and practice, MALD students transform themselves into well-versed and competent leaders who are able to shape international issues and events across a variety of sectors. The flexibility of the program ensures that students can tailor their education to meet specific personal, academic and/or professional goals. Students learn to understand their own interests and the world using a variety of analytical tools, disciplinary lenses and a wide array of perspectives.

Keep it simple when celebrating the high school graduate.
Over the years I have catered many high school graduation parties in our community. It is not uncommon for families to host 2-3 hour open houses including students, parents, teachers, church members, work colleagues and other associates. The average graduation party includes 150-200 guests and involves lots of food. What happened to the days of going home after the graduation ceremony and having cake and ice cream with your immediate family?
Menu selections I have prepared for past graduation parties include grilled hamburger sliders, vegetable trays, pinwheels, guacamole and tortilla chips, seasonal fruit trays, antipasta platters, shrimp cocktail, breakfast casseroles, sub sandwiches, brisket, potato salad, a chocolate fountain and mini desserts. The list goes on and on!
There were some parties I catered that cost more than the average wedding reception. It left me wondering if the celebration was truly about the graduate or was it about throwing the most extravagant party?
While I appreciate the efforts of parents to recognize their high school graduates, I also encourage them to keep it simple. The money they spend on food for the multitudes could easily be applied to the first semester of college books or gas money. We parents have the duty to teach our children financial responsibility. Is spending thousands of dollars on a graduation party being financially responsible?
In four years I will have my first test when my son graduates from high school. Will I be financially responsible? Or will I join the ranks of competitive party planning?

Scope and Content
Practicing Medicine at the Baltimore Almshouse, 1828-1850
Katherine A. Harvey
The Baltimore Almshouse was established in 1733 to care for the poor, and especially for those poor who were incapacitated by illness, old age, physical handicap, mental deficiency, or insanity. To this end, the law provided that part of the money appropriated to maintain the poor should be used to pay a doctor for his salary and medicines. That the institution fulfilled its purpose may be seen from the trustees' estimate that the almshouse population for the year ending April 30, 1826, had been made up of one-fourth sick,... and nearly a fourth aged and infirm, or maimed, and incapable of labor. Except during epidemics, when the city set up temporary hospitals to receive persons stricken by yellow fever, cholera, typhoid, or typhus, the almshouse infirmary was in fact the only refuge for those who could not afford private medical care.
Between 1822 and 1866 that refuge was provided in a large stone and brick building at Calverton, about two miles west of the city. The impressive central block, originally a private dwelling, contained the trustees' meeting room, and quarters for the overseer and his family, the resident medical students, and the apothecary. Two wings, added after purchase of the estate, contained dormitories and hospital wards, including an infirmary for the indigent sick, a lying-in hospital, and a lunatic hospital.
The medical department of the almshouse was supervised by an attending physician appointed by the trustees of the poor. By 1835 the doctor's annual salary had risen to $700, for the first time equaling that of the overseer. The trustees' bylaws required the physician to go out from the city at least once a day to make the rounds of the wards and advise the medical students. Until 1835 literal compliance with this bylaw was not strictly enforced. In one instance, for example, because of his illness the physician was away from the institution for a period of two weeks. The appointment for 1835 was made with the understanding that the daily visits would be carried out, and in 1837 the trustees further required: Whenever the attending physician is unable from indisposition or any other cause, daily to attend the House, he shall furnish a substitute of equal medical reputation and experience to supply his place, and if prevented more than one day at a time, he shall inform the Board thereof through the President by letter, and stating the name of the individual he has selected.
The author of several articles and books about Maryland's history, Mrs. Harvey also edited The Lonaconing Journals (Philadelphia, 1977).

In case you were wondering, Sarah Palin has no plans to announce tomorrow whether she'll run for president.Let's stop right there. Sarah Palin said, "I've engaged in serious deliberations." Let's expand the contraction I've: "I have engaged in serious deliberations." Should we doubt grammar? Isn't verb tense still meaningful? Sarah's "serious deliberations" were complete when she made that statement. She's decided! She didn't say, "I am engaging in serious deliberations," or "I am engaged in serious deliberations," both of which would indicate an action continuing in the present. No! She said "I've engaged in serious deliberations," which is to say, "I have engaged in serious deliberations ," which is to say "I am not presently engaged in serious deliberations."
"This is a serious decision, and I've engaged in serious deliberations. So within the next 24 hours don't look for me to make a decision," she said, according to excerpts of an interview on Fox Business Network set to air tonight.
Ms. Palin, who has taken no serious steps toward a run, had said over the summer that she would have to announce her intentions by the end of September – that would [be] tomorrow — in order to meet a long list of logistical requirements for getting on state ballots. But lately, she has suggested she has until later in the fall. Florida for instance, does not require state parties to submit the names of presidential candidates until Oct. 31.
The takeaway is: Sarah Palin has decided or Sarah Palin is not deliberating seriously at the present time. Is there any other choice? Possibly: Sarah Palin does NOT know what she is talking about.
See Palingates' "Sarah Palin's dilemma" for what may be an explanation of why Sarah Palin is scared to say what she's decided.
Well! Recently, I've outdone myself: Four posts, yesterday; three the day before. So, I may take the rest of the day off, and Saturday and Sunday, too. I'll be watching the news, and be back if Sarah Palin does or says anything newsworthy. She'll try ... she's has to have that attention. It's all part of the tease.

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - More information will be given Tuesday about current efforts to contain the giant sinkhole in south Louisiana.
Texas Brine and Assumption Parish officials will hold an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. to bring the community up to speed on the latest developments.
The focus will be on those vent wells siphoning gas from beneath the ground.
The meeting will be held at the command center in Bayou Corne.
History of the Sinkhole
The sinkhole opened up in August 2012 and was roughly 1/24 of the size it is now. The sinkhole formed when an underground salt cavern collapsed.
In the past, seismic activity is reported, then the sinkhole burps up debris and then a slough-in happens. Burps occur when air and gas from deep in the sinkhole bubbles up. It can cause debris and an oily substance to float to the top. A slough-in is when the sinkhole swallows trees and land that is on the edge of the sinkhole.
Berms were placed around the sinkhole shortly after it opened up to keep the oily, debris filled water contained to the sinkhole area so it would not contaminate the area bayous.
It has more than a year since hundreds living near the giant sinkhole were forced from their homes.
Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up and left what is now a 24-acre sinkhole. Residents were evacuated and the most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week. Texas Brine owns the salt cavern that collapsed, causing the sinkhole.
On August 2, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Attorney General Buddy Caldwell announced the state will be suing Texas Brine for environmental damages caused by the failed Texas Brine cavern.
Parish and Texas Brine officials agree the situation is far from over. 3D seismic surveys show the sinkhole itself it beginning to slow and stabilize, but the recovery is focused on another danger; natural gas gathering underneath a nearby aquifer.

Since I started working in Catholic media almost a year-and-a-half ago, I have seen a number of articles lamenting the intrusion of the "princess culture," sometimes with much ire directed toward Disney. The most recent article that triggered this post is from Millennial. It refers to the princess culture as "toxic" and offers ways counter it.
In the article, Robert Christian laments girls' obsession with physical appearance, "play-sexiness" and disordered desires to be swept off their feet by Prince Charming — all fueled by "rabid materialist" princesses.
I also saw the marketing efforts of a Catholic academy for girls make the rounds. The ads quipped, "Life's not a fairytale," "You're not a princess," "Don't wait for a prince. Be able to rescue yourself," and the like. Girls were encouraged to "Prepare for real life," which includes ruling the world with critical thinking and knowledge. While in some ways admirable, I still find attitudes like this troubling.
First, many commentators seem to assume a fairly direct causal relationship between princesses and our sexualized culture, as well as all the problems that come with that — without really looking at the in-between. Many condemn princesses as the launching pad for sexualization and point to young girls with eating disorders and body image issues. But take a look at a couple of princess stories: Shrek (they end up quite happily together as ogres) and Frozen (Anna's love for her sister, and not "true love's kiss," saves the day). This line of reasoning also neglects other critical cultural factors that are, I believe, even more damaging. Negative influences from many celebrities, immodest clothing, degrading music, sex-filled movies and TV shows, seductive advertising, contraception, abortion, pornography and the like are quite capable of sexualizing girls without the princess connection.
Second, critics often overlook the good. Now, I am certainly not going to defend Disney movies tooth and nail. However, as one commentator points out in an article defending princesses, they do exemplify some admirable characteristics, even virtues. Mark Tapson identifies the following: kindness (Snow White), compassion (Ariel), intelligence (Belle) (I would also add sacrificial love and bravery — can you tell she is my favorite?), humility (Cinderella), courage (Merida in "Brave") and determination (Tiana in "The Princess and the Frog"). I do not know all these stories well enough to agree or disagree with all of them, but it is not too hard to see where Tapson is coming from. Obviously Disney princesses are not perfect, and those listed here certainly have their faults, but then who does not?
In addition, the typical understanding of princesses as helpless, superficial, self-obsessed damsels in distress whose only ambition in life is to meet a prince, get married and be taken care of happily ever after, is really a thing of the past. You hardly ever see the traditional fairy tale stories about girls waiting for their knights to come anymore. Even back in the mid-90s, Belle put the Beast in his place when he misbehaved. "Princesses" — at least Disney ones — have been strong lead characters for some time now.
Third, why do we take Disney princesses so seriously? At what point are we just looking for trouble via over-analyzation? In the end, they are stories — mostly cute, entertaining stories that have some redeeming qualities to them. Just like with any other fictional story, history, folklore or saint story, we should talk about it with our children, but we do not need to nitpick every little detail.
Finally, there seems to be a fairly intense focus on women's usefulness. Many articles cite Peggy Orenstein's book, "Cinderella Ate My Daughter," in which she criticizes how the culture does not tell girls they are "competent, strong, creative or smart," but rather encourages them exclusively to pursue physical beauty. Others quote U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said, "pretending to be a princess is fun, but it is definitely not a career."
While the elements listed by Orenstein are not bad, shouldn't we embrace the totality of the person? Views such as those expressed by Orenstein, Sotomayor and the publicity stunt for the academy seem to neglect the physical to a fault. The focus turns to what women do, instead of who they are, and to careers, instead of to their inherent value as a woman. Yes, little girls need to be taught how to be strong and develop their talents, but they need to learn about love too. I am not saying that princess stories are the ideal place to learn about love, but the fact that they are not career-oriented should not be a deal breaker.
In the end, I think we misunderstand the notion of princesses, or at least what it means to a little girl. When they dress up as princesses and watch princess movies, they are not looking for a career, and they are not seeking to model the lives of princesses to a T. Rather, they are just enjoying being little girls, and they are looking to be loved and cherished. Is that really so bad? Girls that have loving, Christ-centered parents can be loved, cherished and formed to Christ. In time, they can understand the totality of their dignity as a woman and a servant of God. Being a princess does not have to take away from that.
And besides, Mary is exalted as queen of heaven and earth, so royal titles are not completely off limits.

Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery at his home in Calabasas Monday.
Deputies were sent to Johnson's home in The Oaks, the same gated community where in January he railed against former resident Justin Bieber's unneighborly driving habits, shortly before 1 a.m. "regarding a spousal assault call for service," the sheriff's department said.
Police determined Johnson and his ex-girlfriend had gotten into a fight, and "ensuing investigation resulted in the arrest of the resident for misdemeanor domestic battery."
Johnson, 41, was released from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's station about 9:15 a.m. on $20,000 bail.
TMZ.com reported that sources alleged Johnson smashed his ex-girlfriend's phone, causing a gash to her hand as they argued.
The No. 1 one draft pick in 1996, Johnson was an All-American at USC and played wide receiver for the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers, retiring after the 2006 season.

At RootsTech 2013, MyHeritage.com announced that they would be adding all of the U.S. Censuses, from 1790 to 1940, to their online Record Match program. Today, they announced that the records had been added. I immediately went to MyHeritage.com and saw new Record Matches being added to my online family tree. Within a few hours the results started to show up in my online family tree. As of the time I am making this post, I had suggested records in the 1880, 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 U.S. Census records. It looked like all of the people found were in my family tree.
At the time of this post, the number of total suggested record matches for my family tree had increased to 2,679. It talking to a number of users of the program, it appears that the number of suggested sources varies depending on the length of time you have been with the program. Since I have had my tree up for some time, I am getting more sources than people who just signed up for the program.
This is fantastic, I am getting ancestors searched and located in each applicable U.S. Census year. What a huge time saver. I have looked up just one large family in every single applicable U.S. Census record and spent days of work, now I am getting all of the records semi-automatically and taking only the time to confirm the links and then the records are automatically saved to my Family Tree Builder Program.
The significance of this new update cannot be understated. Here is a statement from Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage:
"Adding the U.S. Censuses is paramount for offering a one-stop shop for family history", said Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage. "With this move we maximize value for users by combining the best family tree tools and the most powerful matching technologies with a massive library of historical content. The U.S. Censuses add incredible new value for our users, who will receive a string of new discoveries, and act as a catalyst for taking research further into the past and across new borders. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we're set to add significant additional collections of historical records, both from the U.S. and around the world, in 2013."As further noted in the press release;
Translated into 40 languages, MyHeritage is the only company to deliver discoveries from the US censuses to a global audience. We're focused on bringing worldwide content to our international audiences, so expect to see significant record collections from many countries being added in the near future and beyond.I will do a more in depth post on the new U.S. Census records at a later date.

Talk about your undecided voters. The new Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis vehicle "The Campaign" can't make up its mind about dumb vs. smart; crass vs. crass with a conscience; or cheap caricature vs. satire stoked by a sincere call to action.
Comedies with something to say often go about saying it a dozen different ways, but this intended skewering of lowball politics and America's corrosive cynicism regarding our elected officials, and how they got that way, struggles to film a cheap sight gag to decent effect.
The baby-punching joke, for instance. It's in the trailer. The North Carolina congressional rivals played by Ferrell (the Democrat, the horndog) and Galifianakis (the sweet-natured Republican son of a venal party operative) spy a mother holding an infant at a campaign event. They sprint toward the lil' photo op, both men determined to be first to kiss the baby. Somehow Ferrell ends up clocking it in the face.
The slow-mo effects don't make the gag funny. They make it eerie, and director Jay Roach — whose HBO Florida 2000 docudrama, "Recount," was sharp enough to give me hope for "The Campaign" — holds none of the shots for the right length of time. Is the idea of the bit amusing? Potentially, in a sadistic way, yes. The execution is just lame.
Because "The Campaign" tries to say something about truth vs. hogwash in election season, it's doubly sad the efforts of screenwriters Chris Henchy and Shawn Harwell come to so little. A four-term congressman going for five, Ferrell's Cam Brady is a man with John Edwards' expensively maintained hair and Bill Clinton's predilection for sexual risk. Scandal rocks his campaign, and his enemies see an opening. Billionaire conservatives the Motch brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd, playing puppeteers based on the real-life Koch brothers) enlist a rival candidate, the simpy offspring of a longtime backroom power broker (Brian Cox).
Galifianakis plays the simp, Marty Huggins. The actor may have his narrow skill-set, and plenty of fans, but he continues to be both too much and not enough to anchor, or even co-anchor, a big comedy. (The public disagrees with me.) Most of the material runs to the witlessly foul-mouthed, as when the two candidates, prior to a debate, engage in sotto voce trash talk. I laughed a few times: There's a scene in which Huggins, looking for a bump in the polls, walks up to Brady and shoots him in the leg with a hunting rifle, and doesn't even try to make it look like a Dick Cheney accident.
Stray, wry details help, such as Brady's tried-and-true campaign catch-phrase: "America. Jesus. Freedom." That's one level of observational acumen; it's quite another when Brady seduces Huggins' wife and puts the resulting sex tape on air as a smear job.
In the role of Brady's campaign manager, Jason Sudeikis is meant to be the audience surrogate, complicit but increasingly appalled by the depths to which his man will sink. The movie doesn't leave you with the sort of sour, sinking feeling imparted by, say, "That's My Boy," or the second "Hangover" film. But it's weak and witlessly crude. And who knows what tone these guys were even going for half the time? And is it too late to recast the Huggins part?
'The Campaign' -- 1 1/2 stars
MPAA rating: R (for crude sexual content, language and brief nudity)
