Readers' Sunset Photos
Memorable sunsets—and stories—from your travels around the globe.
We recently took a wonderful trip to Costa Rica, and when we left I captured this beautiful sunset from the plane. Enjoy. —Wendy Foster
I travel to France every year and shot this photo of the Louvre in Paris in the summer of 2007. —Patricia Myers
When my boyfriend and I first moved out to California, we took a trip to Venice Beach. After a day of hot dogs, cheese fries, local art, and skateboarding bulldogs, we sat down to watch basketball on the often-filmed basketball courts there. The sun set as we sat on the bleachers, and this photo reminds us every day of why we still live here. —Adele Rogers
June sunset in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, taken with a Kodak Easy Share Z760. —Curt Rutledge
Using your techniques the very same day I got the e-mail from BudgetTravel.com, I ventured to Sunset Point outside of Marquette, Mich., to take photos of the sunset over frozen Lake Superior. What a lucky (and cold!) evening I had to take photos of the sunset! —Sarah Roberts
A glass of wine, a Greek salad, good friends, and a fabulous sunset over the caldera in Santorini, Greece. —Terrie Santamaria
Sunset off Maui just after I got married on Kauai. —Martrese White
My wife and I traveled to southern Africa in 2007. One evening, we were in Chobe National Park in Botswana observing a herd of elephants. We stopped the vehicle and broke out the drinks, and my wife snapped this photo as the elephants passed in front of the setting sun. It was the perfect ending to another perfect day on safari. —Richard and Patricia Thompson
During my husband and my fourth anniversary trip in Key West, Fla., we saw this full moon. I do believe the picture tells the story! —Linda Allen Clifton
Destin, Fla., in winter: The picture says it all. —Melanie
My husband and I refer to this as our "$850 picture." We were sailing our 32-foot motor yacht to a restaurant when one engine quit. We tried to limp home, but about five miles out, the other engine quit. We dropped anchor and called for a tow. Insurance covered $100, and we paid the remaining $850. But we did get this picture, taken at Burnt Store Marina in southwest Florida. —Shan Meils
I was in Hawaii last year and took this sunset photo from a boat off Waikiki. —Marilyn Ball
My wife and I live on Lake Panorama at Panora, Iowa. Life doesn't get much better than this, does it? —Robert W. White
Trees and flags; the picture was taken in Spanishtown on Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. —Lauren
Here is a sunset that ranks right up there with our most memorable: Taken from a sailboat off Key West, Fla., on January 5, 2008—a beautiful ending to a beautiful day. —Jackie Diffenderffer
Picture this: You're cruising up the Grand Canal your last night in Venice as the sun slowly sinks behind you. You step onto the pier and turn to get your bearings and¿magnifico! The sunset of a lifetime. It was so stunning, I cried—and took a couple of photos to treasure. —Cynthia Howland-Hodson

- What percentage of the votes cast for Galloway were postal votes;
- What percentage of those postal votes were from the ethnic electorate;
- What were the percentages of ethnic votes by races and religion;
- What percentage of those postal votes could be considered 'justifiable';
- Galloway has in the past shamelessly played the 'Palestine' factor while campaigning; consequentl he brought together his anti-war, pro-Palestine views and aimed his message at the ethnic community;
- Galloway is a politician and consequently any views he expresses about speaking and caring for the people of Bradford West can only be viewed with suspicion, especially when one bears in mind his parliamentary attendance just before and after the 2005 general election.
Cranmer has written what can be considered a condemnation of Ukip and Nigel Farage, which brought forth a comment on twitter that Ukip needed to change their strategy in order to win - a comment which, in turn, prompted my response querying how can one change something that does not exist in the first place. To be fair to Ukip, it could be suggested that they were on what may be termed a hiding to nothing in a constituency that contains significant numbers from abroad, a section of our population that Ukip have vowed to repatriate.
It is worth considering other factors following the result of Bradford West.
- With Galloway being a 'lone voice' in Westminster, will he now be ostracised by his fellow MPs?
- Has Galloway 'debased' our electoral system with what may be termed a cynical campaign in which he targeted and exploited ethnicity?
- Has the policy of multiculturalism not polarised the political views of electorates as a result of ghettoising areas of the country - for example, Bradford, Leicester and Newham?
- Would Direct Democracy, with that system's inbuilt ability of the electorate to challenge government policy, have allowed multiculturalism and wars to proceed?
- Had Direct Democracy been the 'norm', would the platform on which Galloway stood have existed; and would politicians such as Galloway exist?

Traffic congestion relief coming soon to Golden Gate Freeway and Carmenita Road Interchange
SANTA FE SPRINGS – Caltrans and local and regional transportation agencies today announced construction will begin in July on a $380 million project that will significantly improve the flow of traffic through the busy Carmenita Road interchange and also reduce congestion on the Golden Gate Freeway (Interstate 5). Financing for the project is provided by federal, state, and local funding, including $15 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond.
"We are making a solid investment in this region's transportation system that will provide jobs for hardworking Californians and reduce traffic congestion," said Caltrans Acting Director Malcolm Dougherty. ""One of the noteworthy aspects of this project is the combined efforts of so many agencies. Everyone stepped up to the plate to deliver this project for the people of this area."
The Golden State Freeway Carmenita Road Interchange Project will be the first of six projects totaling more than $1 billion to begin construction on I-5 from the Orange County line to the San Gabriel River Freeway (Interstate 605). The project will replace the existing two-lane interchange with a ten-lane interchange - nearly five times its current size – which will improve traffic circulation through the interchange, accommodate future projected traffic demands, and enhance safety. A one-mile section of I-5 also will be widened from four lanes to six lanes by adding one carpool lane and one regular traffic lane in each direction from Alondra Boulevard to Shoemaker Avenue. On average, more than 170,000 vehicles travel this section of freeway daily. The project is expected to be completed by 2015.
"Motorists traveling the I-5 corridor will benefit from these much-needed improvements through decreased congestion and travel time," said Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (Metro) Board Chair and Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe. "The long-awaited replacement of this overcrossing along with other upgrades will provide better freeway access and improve regional transportation. Today's groundbreaking is a good example of how Metro and Caltrans, collaborating with local stakeholders, can deliver traffic mitigation to a major freeway corridor."
The project's local and regional funding partners include the Metro, the I-5 Consortium Joint Powers Authority, and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments. The Federal Highway Administration also contributed funding.
"Interstate 5 is the backbone of the economy for the west coast of the United States, driving economic development from Mexico to Canada." said Metro Executive Director of Highway Project Delivery Doug Failing." Metro is working closely with Caltrans to fund this series of infrastructure projects that will strengthen the economy in California and Los Angeles County."

Orange Hibernation - The Jeeps Of TTC 2009Posted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2009
Look, before you go getting riled-up, we realize that the only TJ parts on this "Jeep" are the grille and hood. However, there are other factors that make this rig interesting in its own right. Such as the fact that Brett Jerome missed first place by one point, and after the competition was all over, offered rides up and down the Tank Trap in his four-seater. That is to say, he was driving both ways (up and down) the event course that claimed more flops and rollovers than all the others combined, just for fun and liability-be-damned. That's the kind of spirit we like to see at these events, and we wish more people nowadays had Brett's attitude. So here's a look at the rig that missed winning Top Truck by a second.
Chassis and Driveline
A custom-built 2x4x3/16-inch rectangular steel frame provides the basis for this Jeep and runs from front to rear. Off of that, Brett used 2-inch diameter 0.120-wall tubing for most everything else. Under the hood resides a stock 8.1L Chevy Vortec V-8 fed by a 15-gallon RCI fuel cell mounted behind the rear seats. Brett left the internals and the engine itself stock for reliability, but changed some engine parameters such as fuel ratio with an EFI Live unit. The factory exhaust manifolds dump to a 3-inch exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers. A two-core aluminum radiator and a 9x12-inch oil cooler means the engine keeps its cool no matter what.
A TH400 sends power to the T-case and was modified with heavy-duty clutches and sprags, but still runs the stock torque converter with its 2500RPM stall speed. A B&M shifter controls the automatic and pumps through another 9x12-inch cooler mounted out back. Half of an NP203 was mated with an NP205 and is bulletproof, features three available low ranges, and it's easy to find replacement parts. From there, power travels via 3-inch diameter 0.120-wall driveshafts from High Angle Driveline out to the front and rear Rockwell axles.
Both front and rear are steering axles. Dual power steering pumps are mounted to the driver's side of the engine, one pump for each of the 3x9-inch PSC steering rams. The front axle benefitted from an Ouverson Engineering locker and 2-inch diameter 47-spline shafts. The rear axle has the same shafts, but is fitted with a spool. Tires are the 54-inch Mickey Thompson TTC-Edition Claws bolted to 20-inch Stazworks double beadlocks.Dual-piston slotted-rotor Ouverson pinion brakes do the stopping. The axles are hung off of front and rear double-triangulated suspension with 2-inch 0.500-wall lower links and 21/2-inch 0.375-wall upper links with 11/4-inch rod ends all around.
Body and Interior
The most striking part of the body of this thing is the dazzling orange hue, which is actually a powder, not paint. Brett had the entire chassis shot with Dormant Metallic Orange and a 500% clearcoat, then baked it in a huge powder-coating oven. The TJ hood and grille received the same treatment. Out front, you will find a pair of Lightforce lights tucked neatly into the TJ grille above a Warn 16.5ti winch. Inside, a quartet of Kirkey seats set the stage for the interior. A simple black-painted dash panel stuffed with Auto Meter gauges keeps track of engine and transmission vitals, and a 15-inch PSC steering wheel is used to control the front steering.
The engine intake pokes through the dash right in front of the passenger seat, and a 2-foot extension pipe puts the conical air filter up to the roof level for deep water crossings. The electrical junction blocks and relays are mounted in a simple Tupperware-like box under the dash in front of the passenger's feet, and the lid gets siliconed-on for water and mud runs.
Good, Bad and What's It For
We can't help but think that this thing was built exclusively for Top Truck, but in talking to Brett about it, Top Truck was a bonus. There is no way to guarantee you will get into Top Truck Challenge, and Brett knew that, so he built a rig that could handle anything he was likely find near his home, and then some. He had a good idea of what he wanted when he started building and stuck pretty close to the plan, resulting in a well thought-out rig that works great in just about anything. If he ran it down fire roads, the air-shocks could heat up and effectively change the spring rate of the suspension and there isn't a firewall, per-se, so if a fire were to break out under the hood, the passengers better get out in a hurry but other than those two minor things, this rig is flawless.

Available at the Apple Retail Store June 19th. Stores open at 8:00am.
Which may be up to 2 hours earlier than your local Rogers/Fido store to boot. You can also book a personal shopping appointment to help you get in and out faster if you so choose. (Though we can't imagine spaces will last long).
So, Canadians, who's going to Rogers/Fido, and who's going to Apple Retail?

Student takes on snowboarding challenge at Snowflex Centre
Mark Simpson may not be able to walk, but he definitely can snowboard. Born in Bombay, India, with deformed legs, Simpson suffered many medical complications before finally having his legs amputated in 2005 at the age of 17. Now in his freshman year at Liberty University, he recently decided to get out of his wheelchair and try snowboarding at the school's new year-round ski slope, the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre. The facility opened in August and is the first of its kind in the U.S. Snowflex is a synthetic material that simulates the effects of snow.
"My roommate and I had heard about Snowflex and so one Wednesday night we really weren't doing anything and decided to try it," Simpson said. "So we came up and went tubing. The first time I went it was really freaky, but then I got the adrenaline rush of being able to go downhill like that."
He spent his first day on the slopes tubing, but set a goal of snowboarding by the end of the Fall 2009 semester. On Dec. 10 he reached that goal after figuring out how to situate himself on the snowboard. He positions himself between the leg bindings on the board and then holds on to those bindings with his hands.
"The snowboard is like my skateboard; it's just balancing your weight and figuring out how to turn and stuff like that," Simpson said.
So far he has only tried out the beginner slope, but he already has plans to try the intermediate and advanced runs.
"I have a goal that before my four years are up I want to get up on the big slope," he said. "I think it would be totally exciting."
Simpson is a Criminal Justice major who was adopted from India at age 2 and now calls Columbia, S.C., home. He had never been tubing or snowboarding before trying out the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre and although he fell a few times, he hopes he can encourage more people to try the facility.
"I think the message for other people who might be scared to come up here is that although snowboarding might not be everyone's thing, I feel like if you come up and see the other people having fun it will change your heart and mind about this," Simpson said. "Don't let your fear of the rough turf keep you back. Yes you might fall, but that's how you learn and that's how you get back up again."
Looking out from the centre's beginner slope, Simpson said he was overwhelmed by the excitement of the moment and the area's natural beauty.
"I enjoy doing this. It's not just snowboarding, it's also the view. Looking out you have to realize that God made all of this, and thinking about these miles and miles of mountains is overwhelming in a lot of ways."

Peace is what it's all about in the gospel sense. Although most members of the Church know what peace is, I believe peace has not yet been given its day in court; maybe we have not fully appreciated as a people what a remarkable "fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:22) and what a transcendent manifestation of the new birth peace is! Peace is a priceless gift in a world that is at war with itself. Disciples look to him who is the Prince of Peace for their succor and their support. They know that peace is not only a cherished commodity in the here and now but also a harbinger of glorious things yet to be. Peace is a sure and solid sign from God that the heavens are pleased. In referring to a previous occasion when the spirit of testimony had been given, the Savior asked Oliver Cowdery, "Did I not speak peace to your mind . . . What greater witness can you have than from God?" (D&C 6:23).
Sin and neglect of duty result in disunity of the soul, inner strife, and confusion. On the other hand repentance, forgiveness, and rebirth bring quiet and rest and peace. While sin results in disorder, the Holy Spirit is an organizing principle that brings order and congruence. The world and the worldly cannot bring peace. They cannot settle the soul. "Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked" (Isaiah 57:19–20).
Hope in Christ, which is a natural result of our saving faith in Christ, comes through spiritual reawakening. We sense our place in the royal family and are warmed by the sweet family association. And what is our indication that we are on course? How do we know we are in the gospel harness? "Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit" (1 John 4:13; emphasis added). The presence of God's Spirit is the attestation, the divine assurance that we are headed in the right direction. It is God's seal, his anointing, his unction (see 1 John 2:20) to us that our lives are in order. John Stott, a beloved Christian writer, has observed, "A seal is a mark of ownership . . . and God's seal, by which he brands us as belonging forever to him, is the Holy Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit is the identity tag of the Christian" (Authentic Christianity, 81).
We need not be possessed of an unholy or intemperate zeal in order to be saved; we need only be constant and dependable. God is the other party with us in the gospel covenant. He is the controlling partner. He lets us know, through the influence of the Spirit, that the gospel covenant is still intact and the supernal promises are sure. The Savior invites us to learn the timeless and comforting lesson that "he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come" (D&C 59:23). Peace. Hope. Assurance. These things come to us by virtue of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ and as a natural result of our new creation. They serve as an anchor to the soul, a solid and steady reminder of who we are and Whose we are.

Circled Entries in the Profess or's Journal
Ten Years Ago:
The Whispering Way is more than just a cabal of necromancers. I see that now. Undeath is their
fountain of youth. Uncovering their motivation does not place me at ease as I thought it might.
Their desire to be eternal simply makes them more dangerous.
Two Months Ago:
It is as I had feared. The Way is interested in something here in Ravengro. But what could it be?
One Month Ago:
Whatever the Way seeks, I am now convinced their goal is connected to Harrowstone. In retrospect,
I suppose it all makes sense—the stories they tell about the ruins in town are certainly chilling
enough. It may be time to investigate the ruins, but with everyone in town already being so worked
up about them, I'd rather not let the others know about my curiosity—there's plenty of folks
hereabouts who already think I'm a demonologist or a witch or something. Ignorant fools.
Twenty Days Ago:
It is confirmed. The Way seems quite interested in something—no, strike that—someone who was
held in Harrowstone. But who, specifically, is the Way after? I need a list of everyone who died
the night of the fire. Everyone. The Temple of Pharasma must have such a list.
Eighteen Days Ago:
I see now just how ill prepared I was when I last set out for the Harrowstone. I am lucky
to have returned at all. The ghosts, if indeed they were ghosts (for I did not find it prudent to
investigate further) prevented me from transcribing the strange symbols I found etched along the
foundation—hopefully on my next visit I will be more prepared. Thankfully, the necessary tools to
defend against spirits are already here in Ravengro. I know that the church of Pharasma used to
store them in a false crypt in the Restlands at the intersection between Eversleep and the Black
Path. I am not certain if the current clergy even know of what their predecessors have hidden down
below. If my luck holds, I should be able to slip in and out with a few borrowed items.
Seventeen Days Ago:
Tomorrow evening I return to the prison. It is imperative the Way does not finish. My caution
has already cost me too much time. I am not sure what will happen if I am too late, but if my
theory is right, the entire town could be at risk. I don't have time to update my will, so I'll
leave this in the chest where it'll be sure to be found, should the worst come to pass.
Written on the grave

There are only one or two things that are guaranteed to put me right off a book and explicit sex is one of them. But just what constitutes explicit sex?
Hmm. Not too sure about that, after all what is explicit to me may not be explicit to the next person. HOWEVER I think we can safely say that what used to be considered explicit would nowadays, generally speaking, not even cause the most delicate of souls to blush.
Take for example perhaps one of the most notorious book of all times - yes, I'm talking LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER which in it's day was considered outrageous and an insult to common decency.
You may be interested to know that a book by C.H. Rolph, THE TRIAL OF LADY CHATTERLEY, detailing the trial is available.

For example, the game previously featured six "challenge" modes that upgrade leveling instances to level 30, along with two bonus challenges that were new content added in patches and offer increased difficulty. This content could help you get your introductory item level 46 tier set, but you'd be looking at a long grind to get gear that still won't get you into most endgame content - including the solo content from the game's second DLC pack. Meanwhile, once you'd upgraded your gear beyond this level, there was no reason to ever return.
With the revamp, all content awards the one type of currency, with increased awards as you hit the higher tiers. The existing challenges were mostly placed on the first difficulty tier, while two additional tiers are filled out using the hardest of the old challenges and a handful of new challenges (based on leveling content that wasn't previously available as level 30 challenges). There is also a once weekly award for clearing a tier one challenge.
That aside, the new system definitely flattens and accelerates the progress curve somewhat. I picked up three pieces of T1 gear (and one random ilvl 53 drop) in one evening by cashing in all my old marks and doing one round of daily quests. Perhaps I will finally get enough gear to actually see most of the content I paid for?
|Aside: players display the last item appearance you collected unless you specify otherwise. My character logged on wearing this atrocity of an outfit - you may or may not be able to see the Batman logo boxer shorts.

I am watching the Decorah Eagles and want to leave it on for extended periods of time. However, I keep getting Unresponsive Script Errors. If I am right there when they occur, I can click on "stop script" and all is fine. But if I have stepped away, the script not only freezes the Ustream Broadcast, but my entire internet connection.
There are several different script errors and I will attempt to attach a screen shot of one of them.
Any ideas for fixing this will be appreciated.

YOSHINAKA email@example.com_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2003-12-12 published
A sleeping tiger of baseball
Founded in 1914, the Asahi team made history. This year, largely because of the efforts of its catcher, the team made the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, December 12, 2003 - Page R17
Victoria -- Ken KUTSUKAKE was a catcher for the storied Asahi baseball team of Vancouver, which disbanded when its Japanese-Canadian players were interned during the Second World War.
Mr. KUTSUKAKE, who has died in Toronto, aged 92, helped keep the team's memory alive over the years. He organized an Asahi reunion at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Don Mills, Ontario, in 1972, ending, if only temporarily, a diaspora of the diamond that had seen players sent to work camps, ghost towns, sugar-beet farms, and, in a handful of cases, Japan.
Earlier this year, the amateur club was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in Saint Marys, Ontario Mr. KUTSUKAKE attended the ceremonies in June, even taking part in a golf tournament.
The Asahi roster shortens with each passing season. Mr. KUTSUKAKE is the third player to die since the induction. He was predeceased by outfielder Bob HIGUCHI, 95, of Pickering, Ontario, and pitcher George YOSHINAKA, 81, of Lethbridge, Alberta. The Asahi are disappearing like runners left stranded at the end of an inning. Only six players and a team official are believed to still be alive, the lone survivors as the club approaches the 90th anniversary of its founding in 1914.
The Asahi drew their players from the Little Tokyo neighbourhood surrounding their home field at the Powell Street Grounds (today's Oppenheimer Park) in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The Asahi were physically slight compared to their opponents, among whom were beefy longshoremen, so they depended on slick fielding, larcenous base running and hitting so precise that it was said they could bunt with a chopstick. They were nimble Davids competing against slugging Goliaths.
The team (asa for morning, hi for sun) sometimes won games in which they failed to record a hit. Their style of play, which came to be called Brain Ball, earned them a following among discerning Caucasian fans. In Little Tokyo, they were gods in woolen flannels.
"We were the toast of the town," Mr. KUTSUKAKE told me earlier this year. "To be an Asahi ballplayer meant lots to a lot of people."
It all ended so quickly. When Pearl Harbor was bombed, it was heard around the world. In British Columbia, all people of Japanese ancestry were ordered removed from the coast as enemy aliens. A neighbourhood team lost its neighbourhood and the Asahi never played again.
Kenneth Hisao KUTSUKAKE was born in Vancouver on May 25, 1911. The Asahi had deep roots in the community and he joined the club's youth team when he was 12 as a Clover (Go-gun). Blessed with a strong throwing arm even at that young age, he was taught to play the sport's toughest position. The neighbourhood boys gave him the sing-song nickname, "Catcha-Catcha- KUTSUKAKE."
He moved up the Asahi ranks over the years. From 9-to-5, Mr. KUTSUKAKE worked for a company making boxes. After work and on weekends and holidays, he could be found on the baseball diamond. Finally, in 1938, Mr. KUTSUKAKE became the starting catcher for the parent club.
Adept at blocking wild pitches, he was known for his throwing arm, a disincentive for rivals eager to mimic the Asahi on the base paths.
On September 18, 1941, he went 0-for-2 before being pulled for a pinch-hitter in his team's final at-bat in a 3-1 loss to a club sponsored by The Angelus, a hotel. It would be the Asahi's final game.
A few months later, his home was seized, as was his family's Powell Street rooming house.
In 1942, Mr. KUTSUKAKE was ordered by Canadian authorities to leave his birthplace for the crimes of his ancestry. On that terrible winter day, when he had to reduce 31 years of life to a single suitcase, Mr. KUTSUKAKE packed for an unknown life in a relocation camp. Alongside family photos, he placed his cleats, shin guards, catcher's mask, chest protector and his Asahi uniform.
For Mr. KUTSUKAKE, the equipment was a daily reminder that while authorities could seize his home, deny him his job, and compromise his freedom, no one could stop him from playing baseball.
He was sent to Kaslo on Kootenay Lake in the British Columbia Interior, where he was joined by Asahi pitcher Nag NISHIHARA. One of their first acts in the camp was to form a baseball team, an action that was also occurring in other ghost towns and internment camps.
(Mr. KUTSUKAKE's father, Tsugio, had complained when he was ordered to leave behind his wife and daughters. The senior Mr. KUTSUKAKE was instead sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Angler, Ontario, where inmates wore dark uniforms with large circles on the back, a bull's-eye target for sharpshooters should any try to escape.) On Dominion Day, 1943, four teams of interned players met in a one-day showdown in Slocan City, British Columbia Lemon Creek beat New Denver 13-2 for the championship, while Slocan and Kaslo, featuring a battery of Mr. KUTSUKAKE and Mr. NISHIHARA, were eliminated earlier in the day. More than 500 spectators watched the tournament.
"Ahhh," said Mr. KUTSUKAKE, still sore about a loss 60 years earlier, "Lemon Creek had the most Asahi players. They should have won."
After the war ended, those of Japanese ancestry were forbidden from returning to the coast. Mr. KUTSUKAKE wound up in Montreal, where he played for the semi-professional Atwater team in 1947.
He moved to Toronto the following year, where he could be found behind the plate at Christie Pits. He also had great success as a coach and manager, winning a West Toronto minor championship with the Westerns midget team in 1950. He later won a city championship with the Bestway Nisei, a team comprised of the Canadian-born sons of Japanese immigrants.
In 1956, he managed Honest Ed's Nisei, a mixed-race team, to a senior city championship. A delighted Ed MIRVISH feted the players with a lavish banquet and presented each with a commemorative wrist watch.
Mr. KUTSUKAKE worked for many years at Iwata Travel in Toronto. Until recently, he volunteered at a seniors home, providing prepared Japanese lunches for residents.
Mr. KUTSUKAKE rejoiced in the belated recognition afforded his old team. He threw out a ceremonial opening pitch at a Toronto Blue Jays game at SkyDome in May, 2002, and was deeply touched by induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Naturally, I'm honoured," he said. "It was a big surprise. I never expected such recognition."
Mr. KUTSUKAKE also appears in the recent National Film Board documentary Sleeping Tigers, which recounts the history of the Asahi team and its players. The photographs he saved during the evacuation have been displayed at the Royal Ontario Museum and included in Pat Adachi's 1992 book, Asahi: A Legend in Baseball.
Mr. KUTSUKAKE died in his sleep on November 22 at Toronto Grace Hospital, where he was attending his second wife, Rose, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. His wife of 50 years survives him, as do sisters Satoko and Eiko, both of Toronto. He was predeceased by brothers Sekio and Ray, an Asahi pitcher. A first marriage ended in divorce.

Linux desktop community "outraged" by latest Torvalds comments
Once again, users and developers all around the Linux desktop community have been provoked by controversial comments from Linus Torvalds, creator and long-time maintainer of the Linux kernel. Back in October, Linus dubbed GNOME 3 an "unholy mess", referring to one of the changes as "crazy crap" and demanding "I want my sane interfaces back". Since then he has gone even further, contending that "for some people, a stable, flexible functional desktop environment is far more important than the latest eye candy or trendy minimalist UI design."
Reaction from the desktop development community has been swift and mostly unapologetic. Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Canonical, responded "Once again, Linus is underestimating the importance of aesthetics in computing. You only have to look at Apple to see that people place more importance on visual beauty than the kind of efficient work processes that a flexible and reliable desktop environment enable. This is why we're pushing our new Unity launcher as a mandatory part of Ubuntu. We're confident that people will quickly overcome the initial shock of everything taking longer to find and access because they'll be too busy admiring how beautiful it looks." He then cited the latest 11.10 release as an example of this. "If you look in the release notes for [Oneiric Ocelot], you'll see a new Alt+Tab switcher at the top of the list of highlights, and below it other radical changes such as renaming 'Places' to 'Lenses'. Frankly, most people lap up this whizzbang shit, and as long as it looks cooler than their friend's Windows 7 netbook they'll be willing to tolerate some minor annoyances which are unavoidable when making immature software a critical component of the desktop. Sure, we could prioritise boring bug-fixing over innovation, but that just doesn't excite the teenagers on the web forums, and we have to think about the next generation of users. Besides, if you want a dumbed down system that mostly works, there's always Mac OS X."
Havoc Pennington, a GNOME developer well-known for initiating the war on Linux desktop flexibility by drastically reducing the number of preferences and replacing GNOME's default window manager, the high-performance scriptable Sawfish, with Metacity, commented: "It's about achieving the right work/play balance. If your desktop allowed you to get stuff done too quickly, it would just increase your stress levels. Some 'power' users think they want to be able to stream-line their workflows, but we know better, so we are doing them a favour by making this customizability harder. After all, everyone needs basically the same things. Rather than trying to be different, these people should instead learn to enjoy the cute visuals and focus more on having fun. Life's more than just work, work, work, you know."
The KDE camp has been slightly less vociferous, perhaps because it's old hat for them – back in 2008 they pioneered the concept of intrusive redesigns and ended up the wrong end of one of Linus' rants as a result. "With KDE 4.0, we did our best to prevent people achieving real work, and I think we largely succeeded", one of the KDE team leaders recalls. "I mean, there was a significant period of time where neither the KDE3 version of knetworkmanager nor its KDE4 rewrite worked properly, so for many wireless networks, the only way you could connect was to disable NetworkManager and write a shell-script to interface directly with wpa-supplicant and ifup. And that's just one small example."
Despite Torvalds' comments, the move towards form over function has been witnessed elsewhere outside the desktop software space. For example, Apple have introduced the MacWheel, a move so bold that it makes innovations such as Unity and the GNOME Shell look positively conservative. However there is no clear industry-wide consensus; in fact companies such as Ebay and Sony are beginning to experiment with rejecting both form and function, turning conventional wisdom on its head.

1940 U.S. Census Discoveries
April 8, 2012 at 8:42 am Leave a comment
On April 2, 2012 the 1940 Census was released! It has been a very exciting time to both Index and also search out the families I research. I would like to share with you the exciting things I have discovered:
My father in law was born in Memphis, 1923. I could not find his family on the 1930 census as hard as I have tried. I was determined to find him on the 1940 and he was the first one I looked for. I knew his family lived most of their lives onVance street when locating to Memphis. I used the tools on the National Archives page to find an enumeration district (ED). I had no success and was very frustrated. As I laid in bed that night, it hit me that I had the wrong address. I remembered that my father in law's mother had moved to Elizabeth Street. So, the next day I used the tools to find the closest ED and went for my search. The exciting thing is that although I was looking for my father in law, I saw many cousins along the way.
Then on the Tennessee, Shelby, Memphis, ED 98-114, page 4 of 22 Census on Ancestry.com, there they were, the Sansone Family – Kate, Tony, Virginia, Fred and Angelo– my father in law when he was 16 years old. Of course, the first thing I did was show my husband his dad. He was glad to see it, but not being the genealogy addict I am, was not quite as excited as I was. But, I was elated enough for the both of us! Another mystery was the occupation of one of his brothers. There are two groups of Sansone's in the Memphis area – vegetables (my husband's family) and the liquor. But, on this census, Tony works in the wholesale liquor business. Surprising find for me.
I also did a search for a good friend who has been looking for his maternal grandfather. He left when he was young and never heard from much. While I won't go into specifics on his family, I could not find him on the 1930 census, but located him on the 1940 census. He was not up north as my friend thought, but had moved west, remarried and has since passed away. At least now we can continue to research this missing line on his family.
One other client find was discovering a father on the census for her and learning who he was living with. Those discoveries on the census are what brings so much excitement to a family and to me as a researcher!
So, now is the time you can go view the census and see what ancestors you can find. Here are some websites to make your searches:
We really need YOUR help to Index the 1940 Census. At the present time two states are indexed –Nevada and Delaware. As the indexers get busy, more will be added. Here is where you can sign up to assist in this great endeavor: Get Started in Indexing.
All information to keep updated on this great work can be found on the 1940 U.S. Census Blog. It also has some great articles from the 1940 Ambassadors.

The nine digits 1 through 9 are written out in a row in ascending order as
shown in the upper row of the illustration. The object is to insert
between the digits, without changing their positions in the row, several arithmetical signs so that to get exactly a hundred as the
result. From the four arithmetical signs you can use only plus (+) and
minus (-). The solution with six signs is shown as an example in the lower
right corner of the illustration. But can you find a solution where three
signs are used only?

Ubiquinol is needed for energy; no energy can be made in our body without it. Ubiquinol promotes cardiovascular and neuromuscular health. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an important energy-releasing nutrient produced naturally in the human body. Ubiquinol is CoQ10 in its active form, which allows calories from food to be absorbed and utilized as energy throughout the body.
May help boost muscle function and performance, while decreasing fatigue and providing antioxidant protection
May help counteract the effects of many prescription medications, which often deplete the body's Ubiquinol levels. See our Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Chart for more information.

Jerry Hickey is a pharmacist and radio personality and fills the esteemed role of Scientific Director and President of Invite Health. He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user's maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Ubiquinol CoQ10…
We're going to talk about Ubiquinol. That's the most important nutrient you can ever take for energy production. If you're getting sluggish, it brings back energy. Then we're going to talk about ALCAR with ALA. This combination helps you burn fat on your belly. You ignite the fat for energy and it works well with the Ubiquinol, actually. They work in the same system, and it's a one-two punch for providing energy. The beauty of the ALCAR with ALA is that they're very powerful for enhancing memory in an aging person. They're very powerful for protecting the brain as you age. So, let's kick it off.
There is a very interesting new study that came out. It's in a British journal of nutrition, which is a good journal I look at every month. You can look at journals online today. You don't have to wait for them to come in the mail. They took healthy middle-aged men and gave them three different supplements. They gave them a GLA supplement. That's Omega six fats. Omega six fats are super concentrated vegetable fats. They gave them the fish oils, the stuff that you find in fish oil or Krill oil, or they gave them Ubiquinol CoQ10. They brought back their Ubiquinol levels.
These men are already healthy, 504 healthy men in their 40's and 50's. When they gave them fish oils it actually further improved their prostate gland health over a three month period. Their PSA level improved by an additional 30% as well.
PSA is an enzyme in a prostate. It's an indicator that something is going on, though you're not sure what. If the PSA goes really high, your doctor, your urologist worries because it means something drastic is happening in the prostate, whether it's temporary or long-term. There's something going on, because the prostate cells are swelling or dying, and they're releasing this enzyme.
These men, when they gave them a fish oil type supplement - so it could be Krill oil, it could be fish oil - their PSA which was already in a healthy area, improved by 30%. If they gave them Ubiquinol, it improved by 33%. It went from 2.5 to 1.68 on average. That's a good finding, because when you see the PSA rising, you start to worry.
Somehow, the fish oil components and the Ubiquinol were protecting the prostates of already healthy men, which is interesting because it raises the question if it can potentially be a shield.
The GLA on the other hand is something you'd get in evening primrose oil. If they gave them high doses of GLA, their PSA actually went up 15%. Frequently, people are told by their nutritionist or whomever to use evening primrose oil or black cumin seed oil. That's okay because it has a preformed version, which is the active form of Omega six fatty acids that you need for immune system function.
The problem is if you do too high a dosage, it promotes inflammation. One of the arts is to balance that with fish oil. The fish oils together with the oils from evening primrose oil or vegetable oils balance immune function, and immune health, so the immune system can do whatever it has to. If you overdo it like what happened in the study, they actually seem to be developing inflammation in their prostate. Beyond that, a study came out in the International Journal of Medical Sciences as well.
I've got to tell you what Ubiquinol is because this is really important: it is the most important nutrient for allowing you to take the calories from food and converting them into energy. That's what they do. Ubiquinol levels drop with age. It's a natural thing, and you have less ability to take the calories from food and burn it as energy. Would you rather have the calories sitting useless on your belly, or would you rather use it for your brain and your heart and your muscles, and your kidneys and everything else? The answer is obvious.
Ubiquinol levels start to drop in your late 20's, and by about the age of 40, it can become clinically important in organs and tissues such as the kidneys, or the heart or the brain, or your hearing apparatus. It can actually have an impact. The beauty of it is, all the research shows that if you take this supplement, you restore activity and you counter-balance that problem.
This issue of having too little Ubiquinol, when does it occur? It depends on the person. For instance, generally, people tend to lose some energy in their late 30's, and more so in their 40's. They certainly start to feel it in their 50's. It's very obvious in the 60's and 70's. If you're sick, if you have a chronic illness like diabetes, it can happen at a much younger age, so it's not unusual for somebody who's 35 or 40 to be low in Ubiquinol.
The human clinical trials show that people with certain disease conditions have trouble manufacturing Ubiquinol in their body. They have regular CoQ10 in their body, but they can't metabolize or convert it into the active version because that takes energy too, and they just don't have the energy. When you look at the data, not only are elderly people very low in Ubiquinol which is the active version of CoQ10, like their heart muscle might have 70 or 80% less Ubiquinol in elderly people. Their livers, their kidneys, their pancreas, all these different organs have less muscle. Of course they're going to suffer with some fatigue or loss of energy. It's just an inability to create the amount of energy they used to have.
People with certain diseases can experience the same thing. They lose the ability to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol, and that's one of the reasons why they're unhealthy. Given these cases, Ubiquinol is a good thing because it restores energy production. When you restore the energy production, you're restoring metabolism.
Restoring metabolism fights off fatigue, allows you to clean up the body and perform all the maintenance and the rebuilding and taking care of health. That's what it comes down to.
Ubiquinol has been studied in many, many different conditions, especially when it comes to the heart. It's been studied very intensively for the heart muscle. It's very good for muscles in general and the heart of course is a muscle that's working basically 80 times per minute. It's pumping blood, so it's working all day. It's working when you're sleeping. There have been many studies on heart health. A study just came out, showing that people who have inactive CoQ10 versus active CoQ10, which is very common, don't have the Ubiquinol. They just have the regular CoQ10.
Their results for significant tests having to do with the health of the arteries are poor. People with heart disease who have higher levels of Ubiquinol - when they do these tests, like to see if the genes are healthy, etcetera - they have much better results when they have higher levels of Ubiquinol.
Now, there have been reviews (and this one is from the University of Toronto) where you have somebody with a heart issue, and you give the Ubiquinol. It's easier for them to maintain normal blood pressure. In other words, if their blood pressure is already under control, it just makes it that much easier.
Ubiquinol is an energy supplement. It's very good for physical energy. It's very good for mental energy. It's very good for your hearing, your muscles, your kidneys, your heart, healthy cholesterol and healthy blood pressure. If all of these things are within the right range, it helps you keep them there, and in older people it provides a significant boost in energy. It's one of the supplements I don't leave the house without it. If you run out and you forget to restore it, you will feel the difference within a couple of days.
There have been a number of studies recently showing that when you restore Ubiquinol levels, or when you take Ubiquinol, you ensure heart health – and these are big time studies. I don't want to review too many of them because we're really focusing here more on energy.
Recently, they took elderly people. They put them on the Mediterranean diet, which is once again arguably the best diet in the world. It's full of fresh vegetables, and seeds and nuts and olive oil and a little bit or red wine and a lot of camaraderie and fish. There is very little meat and red meat in particular, and they did well with it.
When they went on the Mediterranean diet, markers of heart health, like their blood tests, their immune function and signs of longevity all improved, simply putting them on the Mediterranean diet. But half the group was also supplemented with the Invite Ubiquinol.
Our Ubiquinol has been used in several studies that have been published in our medical journals. If they took a group of these elderly people and put them on the Mediterranean diet and added Ubiquinol, the results were substantially better. It improved signs of heart health substantially, balanced immune function and longevity, and was just everything you want to see in an older person. Everything was coming back online.
When they took 53 healthy men and they gave them the Invite Ubiquinol, it helped balanced their cholesterol within two weeks. There were shifts in the cholesterol where the small dense LDL actually improved by 14%. There you go; Invite Ubiquinol, the studies are out there and they're published.
A very interesting study from Sweden came out. They took a very large group of elderly people, almost 450 people from 70's to their 90's. They put them on CoQ10, which restores Ubiquinol levels and selenium. If they restored their Ubiquinol, their heart was absolutely much healthier, and it was behaving much more normally.
I could go on and on. For instance, older people tend to develop dry mouth. When they gave older people our Ubiquinol, they started create saliva again. Now that's really important.
Saliva helps digest your food. It starts the process of breaking down food along with chewing. You actually create a sort of liquid called chime, and the saliva also has things like peroxisomes that cleans your food of bacteria and viruses. It's very important to have saliva. People who lack saliva tend to develop gum disease, which is not good. They tend to get loose teeth and lose their teeth too.
Saliva helps to wash your gums, your teeth, and your food and sanitize it, so when they gave older people Ubiquinol, it helped restore their ability to create saliva. Makes sense.
Ubiquinol is a spark, and I've said it before. It's like if you had a barbecue and you had the charcoal and the lighter fluid, or you had a barbecue and you had all the propane. If you don't have a spark, you're not cooking your food on the grill. Ubiquinol gives the spark to burn the calories from food. Without Ubiquinol, it's not happening; you do not have the ability to create energy without Ubiquinol. The problem is that it drops with age in all of us; there's no doubt about it. I mean if you see the stats, you'll see it can drop almost 80% in the heart muscle, it can drop in the skin by 50% on and on and on from different tissues and organs.
When you give older people Ubiquinol, you start to restore energy. you offset fatigue. Fatigue in the elderly leads to frailty. The frailty contributes to the diseases that occur in aging because they can't maintain their body and cleanse their body and heal their body and to fight for their body with their immune system.
When you take Ubiquinol, it gives you the energy for all these things - for everything the body needs to do, you need Ubiquinol. Not only does it drop with age but by the time you're in your 40's, there are actual clinical aspects to it, where it can affect different tissues and organs and your health and your energy in general. This can also occur in anyone who has liver disease, kidney disease or diabetes. It's hard for them to create energy, and they need Ubiquinol.
When you give them Ubiquinol, it restores energy production which can contribute to reaching or maintaining or protecting good health and good energy.
A lot of drugs take Ubiquinol out of the body. It's not just aging, it's not just disease; a lot of drugs like Tylenol lowers your Ubiquinol levels. Statin drugs like Lipitor or Atorvastatin are notorious for doing it as well. That's one reason why they contribute to muscle aches in some people, or fatigue in others. Drugs for depression, drugs for diabetes in the sulfonylurea class like Glipizide and Glyburide, drugs to lower your triglycerides like Fenofibrate; all of these things lower your Ubiquinol level.
Believe it or not, drugs for high-blood pressure, like the ace inhibiting drugs like Lisinopril and Prednisone or other drugs like Benicar and Diovan, the drugs that affect the nervous system for high-blood pressure like Hydralazine, Cataprils or diuretics like Hydrochlorothiazide can lower your Ubiquinol. If you're prescribed a drug and it's helping you, great. If you find yourself over the course of a month or two starting to become more fatigued, it could possibly be that the drug you're on is lowering your Ubiquinol levels, and if you take the supplement, it can counter-balance that effect.
The other thing with Ubiquinol is that it's great for age associated hearing loss or what we call Presbycusis. When they took elderly people and they gave them Ubiquinol, their age associated hearing loss improved. In other words, when they did these speech audiometry tests, they could hear better at different thresholds like a thousand Hertz and 8,000 Hertz, and 4,000 Hertz. It's very interesting stuff. There are lots of studies like this, by the way.
I'm going to read you a couple of the testimonials because I think it's going to mean something. I told you a lot of drugs take Ubiquinol out of body. Here's a letter from somebody dealing with just that issue. This is B, and B writes, "Hi, Jerry. Thanks for your suggestion to my mom. I want to thank you. She was given the drug Toprol for her high-blood pressure and was getting fatigue. You suggested she take the CoQ10 Ubiquinol. This has helped her so much. Within two days, she felt so much better."
I'm telling you, if you go on a drug and over time it's creeping up on you and you're starting to get more and more fatigued, try the Ubiquinol. It might be a simple issue that the drug is inhibiting your ability to create Ubiquinol. Taking the Ubiquinol counter balances that, and you could get your energy back. This is for important drugs. A drug like Metoprolol can protect you from a heart attack, or keep you alive if you have heart failure, and it keeps your blood-pressure under control so you don't have a stroke. It's a very important drug for that lady to stay on, yet she was becoming fatigued. Simply giving her Ubiquinol restored her energy. It's a very crucial point, because you don't want to drop a life-saving drug just because you're tired. Ubiquinol might make up for that fatigue.
Here's Trevor. He's 42 years old: "Using Ubiquinol, I've noticed a pronounced enhancement to my concentration, my energy level and my overall well-being. I'm able to get more work done. I still have energy for my family."
Here's Virginia, 54 years old: "I am 54 years old and I feel like I'm in my early 40's and I truly believe that this is due to my taking your Ubiquinol. I will definitely continue to take it to improve not only my life, but my lifespan." There you go.
A little bit of editorialization there. Here's Mary in California. By the way, we've got a huge following in Texas and California and Arizona because I do radio shows down here. I used to do TV shows there. "Your Ubiquinol really has helped me to function better mentally and physically. My parents instilled in me that your body is like a machine. If you take care of it, it runs well."
Here's Joe in Houston: "I had never heard of Kaneka QH." We have the Kaneka CoQ10, it's the Ubiquinol. It's the only CoQ10 made in America. It's the only natural CoQ10. It's the only body ready bio-identical CoQ10. You swallow it; it doesn't have to be converted like traditional CoQ10. It's already made in the proper structure that goes right to work for you. You swallow it, it starts giving you energy. It's as simple as that. Here's what this guy writes. This is Joe, 68 years old in Houston: "I'd never heard of your Kaneka QH ..." That's our Ubiquinol. "...but after seeing the results on how it makes me feel, I'm a believer. Even those around me have been so amazed at the drastic improvement in my health that they want to start taking Kaneka QH."
Some of these are too long to read, so I'm going to skip over them. Here's Shirley: "My walks on the beach have become twice as long after I started taking this supplement. I rank this new supplement right up there with Vitamin C and Vitamin E in importance."
Here's Roy. I love this one. He's down in Houston: "I would tell other golfers that this definitely improves your ability to truly enjoy a golf game, even at 91 years old." I love that one, man.
Here's Edith in Whitestone, Long Island. She's been on the Ubiquinol two years when she wrote us this letter. "Energy weight for exercise has substantially increased. My doctor specifically recommends Invite products."
Our Ubiquinol is the only CoQ10 made in America. There are two other Ubiquinol manufacturers: they're Chinese. Ours is made near Houston, in Texas. Maybe that's why we have so many Texans who use it.
Our Ubiquinol is the only active version of CoQ10. It's the only natural; it's the only anti-oxidant version. We use Pfizer technology that flushes oxygen out of the room so that Ubiquinol stays fresh, and we use the stretchable capsule with a really tight weave from Capsugel that keeps the oxygen out, yet it improves the absorption of it. This is a very dramatically well-absorbed version of CoQ10. It's absorbed around eight times better than traditional CoQ10 and it lasts about twice as long in the human body.
Bailey University and our studies at Cornell showed us that this technology is superb. All day today, we studied at Cornell and Bailey University said this is the best. We used Pfizer technology from Capsugel. It's a very good product.

Liberty News
Author Angela Thomas delivers convocation message
Bestselling author and speaker Angela Thomas shared with students how God can use "broken" people during Liberty University's convocation on Monday.
Thomas reaches more than 70,000 people each year as she travels the country speaking at conferences and workshops, including the Extraordinary Women's Conference. She has written several bestselling books, including "Do You Know Who I Am?", "Do You Think I'm Beautiful?" and "My Single Mom Life." She has also written and filmed video studies for LifeWay, including "Brave" and "When Wallflowers Dance."
During her message, Thomas read the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar from Genesis 16, in which she said God makes it very clear He cares about abused women, unborn children and single mothers.
"God comes to the broken, He comes to the abused, He comes to the wounded … and I want you to know what God does with broken people -- He rescues them," she said.
She encouraged students who were feeling broken, discouraged or lost as the end of the semester approaches to seek comfort from God and trust in Him. She said she was privileged to be able to stand in front of them as a real-life example of how God is able to use broken people.
Thomas shared her experience of divorce, after 14 years of marriage, and the struggles she faced raising four children.
"You see, what I've come to understand about the Lord is that when you follow hard after Him, no matter what this world brings to you … He comes to rescue. If you will just put your broken heart into His, the Lord is still on the throne and He is still able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than you can ask, imagine or hope," she said.
Thomas last spoke at convocation in 2008, and said she was excited to be back on campus.
"I almost cry when I drive on the campus, truly, because there's such a powerful God-work going on here," she said after convocation. "It's unlike anywhere else in the world. It just takes my breath away. Even as I was sitting preparing to speak I leaned over to [campus pastor] Johnnie Moore and I said, 'Can you believe what you get to do? Where you get to be?' This is phenomenal."

When Hurricane Katrina thrashed through Louisiana on Aug. 29, damage to cotton was measured by how close it was to the Mississippi River and how open it was, according to Louisiana Extension cotton specialist Sandy Stewart.
"Our eastern-most cotton-producing areas sustained some damage, 20 percent or so, from cotton being blown out on the ground. As you move west of Hwy. 65 in Tensas and Madison parishes, the damage drops off. They had some wind, but not much rain. We were fortunate.
"The cotton that fared the worst was 40 percent to 60 percent open and had not been defoliated. It had some heavy bolls at the top and was whipped around pretty good. Some defoliated cotton ready to harvest that seemed to fare better."
Stewart said much of the unharvested northeast Louisiana rice crop "was blown down. Fortunately, most of the corn has been harvested and the soybean crop is looking okay. We are certainly are lot luckier than our neighbors to the east, that's for sure."
Mississippi Extension cotton specialist Tom Barber estimated cotton crop losses in Mississippi due to Katrina at 15 percent to 20 percent, "even though there are fields with higher losses. Some producers who defoliated last week suffered at least 50 percent losses."
Barber said cotton is on the ground, "even as far north as just south of Memphis. But definitely as you move south of Hwy. 82 in the Delta, the more open, early-planted cotton is the most damaged."
Barber says 10 percent of the cotton crop was lost to wind blowing cotton out of burs, and another 10 percent to water penetrating cracked bolls. "Those plants are down and those bolls can't get any air. They're either going to hard lock or rot."
Barber said a few cotton fields on the east side of the state flooded in the aftermath of the hurricane. "On one field, I saw the terminal of the cotton plant and that was it. But overall, the crop in the Hills was a little earlier and it wasn't quite as open. We have a lot of twisted up cotton on the ground. A lot of it is going to stand back up."
The Mississippi soybean crop "came through in pretty good shape," according to Extension soybean specialist Alan Blaine. "In our immediate area, soybean harvest is roughly 50 percent complete and corn harvest is 75 percent to 80 percent done.
"I haven't been into the Delta, but they didn't get the wind damage that we got on the east side of the state. It's a tad later and still has a lot of green in it and is more resilient than if it were ready to harvest."
Blaine said sunshine following the storm "was a big plus. It gave us an opportunity to dry."
Blaine says more significant losses to the soybean crop occurred south of Hwy. 82 and I-20. "I haven't looked at any of that crop, but I know we have some crop damage and some bin damage."
Blaine anticipates a difficult harvest for rice and corn producers in the state. "A lot of the corn that was ready is blown over, which will make it more difficult to harvest. But most is blown over in one direction, which will make it somewhat easier than if it were twisted around. A lot of the rice that was ready to cut was blown down. Rice that still had some green in the stalk doesn't look as bad."
If the crop that's on the ground "stays wet and we have high temperatures, it's going to start rotting. We don't have a good handle on that yet. It's much more of a concern in rice and corn.
A difficult harvest will add costs to an already costly season, according to Blaine. "Some rice producers may have been cutting 50 acres of rice a day and since so much of it is down, they may cut only 10 acres. But it's going to take the same amount of diesel fuel to cut 10 acres as it does to cut 50 acres."
Rising fuel prices are also a concern for producers, who are hurting from additional fuel required to irrigate this season. Regarding President Bush's plan to begin oil drilling in Alaska's Artic National Wildlife Refuge, Blaine said, "I hope the president tells the caribou to get out of the way, we're fixing to drill. But we're a little late starting in my opinion."

How were the peoples and cultures of the early modern Atlantic world transformed by the
encounters between Portuguese missionaries and Amerindians, African slaves and Dutch merchants, Spanish conquistadors and indigenous leaders in colonial Latin America? This course will examine the history of this dynamic region by looking at the nature of these interactions from pre-Columbian times through early European overseas exploration and settlement up to the nineteenth-century wars of independence. We will address how class, gender, racial and ethnic identities took on particular meanings as peoples, ideas, and commodities circulated and intermingled between
Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We will look at documents such as court cases to explore the ways in which human dramas were transformed into written records, and the means historians use to reconstruct those dramas. Through close readings of primary sources, we will come to
understand how plantation slavery, mining, and other colonial institutions shaped peoples'
experiences and how these same individuals struggled to adapt these imposed institutional
structures to suit their own needs. Finally, we will seek answers to why European colonial
domination lasted as long as it did, what the primary causes were of its demise, and in what ways modern Latin American nations can be seen as heirs to the legacies of the colonial system.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw (Polish: Zamek Królewski w Warszawie) is a royal palace and official residence of the Polish monarchs, located in the Plac Zamkowy in Warsaw, at the entrance to the Old Town. The personal offices of the king and the administrative offices of the Royal Court of Poland were located there from the 16th century until the Partitions of Poland. In its long history the Royal Castle was repeatedly devastated and plundered by Swedish, Brandenburgian, German, and Russian armies.[1] The Constitution of May 3, 1791, Europe's first modern codified national constitution, as well as the second-oldest national constitution in the world, was drafted here by the Four-Year Sejm.[2] In the 19th century, after the collapse of the November Uprising, it was used as an administrative center by the Tsar. Between 1926 and World War II the palace was the seat of the Polish president, Ignacy Mościcki. After the devastation of World War II it was rebuilt and reconstructed. Today it is a historical and national monument, and is listed as a national museum.
