The U.S. Supreme Court issued six opinions this morning, but none of them pertained to the custody battle for 3-year-old Veronica, a case that could have implications on future adoptions of American Indian children.
The justices started publishing rulings at 10 a.m. and finished about a half-hour later. They are scheduled to break for summer recess, so a ruling in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl is almost certain this week.
Other cases remaining include two about gay marriage.
The court again will issue rulings at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The court typically adjourns in late June or early July. It won't reconvene until Oct. 7.
For the Lowcountry couple who tried to adopt Veronica and the girl's biological family in Oklahoma, the court's opinion will help bring closure to a lengthy, emotional ordeal.
Jessica Munday, a spokeswoman for Matt and Melanie Capobianco of James Island, said she thinks it's unlikely that the justices will rule on the case after the summer recess because a "child is involved, and a timely ruling is critical for her well-being."
"This has been an extremely difficult and emotionally draining time for (the Capobiancos)," Munday said in a statement late Sunday. "We remain hopeful for a positive outcome where Veronica can be surrounded by everyone that loves and cares for her."
It's unknown whether the Capobiancos and Veronica's father, Dusten Brown, will react publicly to the ruling. Munday said the Capobiancos would make that decision after the opinion is released.
The Supreme Court has been the object of much attention in recent weeks as attorneys, involved parties and interested people eagerly await the decision about Veronica and the gay marriage issues.
Lisa Blatt, a Washington attorney who argued for the Capobiancos, recently told The New York Times that she was one of many finding themselves scouring blogs and other websites for any information about a ruling. Blatt has argued 33 cases in front of the land's top justices, according to the New York Times interview, but the Veronica case is the only one still pending.
On April 16, the court heard oral arguments from Blatt and other attorneys. Their statements complemented hundreds of pages legal briefs from attorneys and organizations that opined on the ruling's consequences.
The case hinges on the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law aimed at placing American Indian children in foster or adoptive families who share their heritage. It arose in 1978 after advocates pointed out that a striking number of American Indian children were being placed outside their cultures, further diluting native societies.
Veronica was born in September 2009 to Brown, an Army reservist and member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, and Christinna Maldonado, a Hispanic mother of two.
The two had been engaged, but they broke off their relationship months before Veronica was born.
Before the birth, Maldonado gave Brown a choice between giving up his paternal rights or paying child support. Brown declined to give Maldonado money, but he later told attorneys that he didn't mean to allow Veronica to be put up for adoption.
Meanwhile, Matt and Melanie Capobianco of James Island were stymied in their own efforts to have a child. After in vitro fertilization failed, they turned to adoption and met Maldonado through an agency.
They were with Maldonado when Veronica was born. Maldonado signed over custody to the Capobiancos, and the couple flew the infant to South Carolina, where adoption proceedings commenced.
Brown didn't know about the pending adoption until four months later.
The delay in notification was blamed on a clerical error: Brown's named was misspelled when Veronica's mother first filed the papers. But attorneys for Brown alleged that the mistake was purposeful.
After he was served the documents, Brown promptly challenged the proceeding, then was deployed for a tour of duty in the Middle East.
But Brown's claim of the child at the "eleventh hour," the Capobiancos' attorneys have argued, was too late. He should have expressed interest in his daughter sooner and provided care for the girl and her mother, they wrote in legal arguments.
Brown's attorneys later argued that his biological link to Veronica and her heritage meant that ICWA allows him to claim her and halt the adoption.
But the American Indian makeup of Veronica's blood was said to be only 3/256th, and she also shares Hispanic heritage with her mother, attorneys for the Capobiancos have said. They said that ICWA shouldn't give rights to a father who has otherwise relinquished them under state laws.
A family court in South Carolina ruled in Brown's favor, and the S.C. Supreme Court later agreed with the lower judges. Veronica was sent in late 2011 to live with Brown in Oklahoma, where she has been ever since.

(All CDs also available from Michel Cardin.)
There are now no fewer than three cycles (complete and projected) of Weiss' (1686-1750) lute music in the catalog (see the Weiss Discography for further details):
Unsurprisingly, since they're in the same series – recorded in the Église de Saint-Augustin de Mirabel (Quebec), actually over ten years ago – the next three CDs in the series are of the same high standard. The "London Manuscript", on which these performances have been based, was acquired by the British Museum in 1877 and ordered, researched, cataloged by one D. A. Smith, whose numbering system is referred to in the very comprehensive and informative booklets accompanying each CD. From Smith's and subsequent researchers' findings, it's clear that Weiss carried out extensive revision on most of his works. On listening carefully to each suite, it's easy to hear such care for detail; but also hear "past" these technical revisions to the beauty and inventiveness of the music. It's Cardin's gift that he's equally at home with superb technique and interpretative insight. The music truly lives under his fingers.
Significantly, the ornamentation (in particular) used by Cardin reflects similarities and parallels in sonorities between the lute and the harpsichord. Indeed early Baroque composers were inspired by the features of the lute and their compositions were at times influenced by such styles peculiar to the lute as style brisé and broken chords. Later in the period the situation was reversed, works for the lute used, for instance, runs and arpeggios. If it weren't clear from the playing (which it is) just how immersed Cardin is in the minutiae of the lute, its strings, string manufacture, whether or not to use nails (Weiss preferred not to), his meticulous exposition throughout the documentation – really a series of pithy, focused essays; each CD's booklet also has a useful background/introduction – makes it plain.
Now, whereas the first three CDs in the series used a theorbo-lute, for reasons of the transpositions necessary in performing the tenth suite, it became necessary for Cardin to use a standard lute – in fact the Canadian Museum of Civilization made a lute by Richard Berg from 1992 in Ottawa available. It's a copy of a late Renaissance instrument by Hans Burkholzer of 1596, that was converted in 1705 to a Baroque lute by another well-known luthier, Thomas Edlinger. The original is in the Vienna Kunsthistoriches Museum. The biggest difference for Cardin between this and theorbo-lute is that the latter has a brighter base. The Edlinger is warmer but more somber. Certain of the movements – parts of Suite 14, for example – also suggest that the standard lute was the instrument for which Weiss composed; this was due in particular to fingering requirements.
It's useful to understand how Cardin approaches the performance of Weiss since this is very much a one-person project. His starting point has been the manuscripts in all their roughness and with all their uncertainty. The musicology that has evidently gone into combing, sifting and re-presenting sources is phenomenal. Indeed in the review of the first three discs in this series mention was made of the various extant manuscripts of these suites… those associated with London, Dresden and Warsaw. Lacunae in one or the other are filled by details in one of the 40 or so other sources scattered in various libraries in the world. Greater accuracy has been made possible by comparisons and cross-references between them. But the strength of the series rests as much on how Cardin's musicological inquiry and discovery have informed his playing – together with a vast experience of late Baroque practice – as almost anything else. This means that, in researching, preparing and then recording Weiss' oeuvre like this, Cardin has furnished us with as near definitive an encapsulation of such a world as possible.
At the same time, there is as much interpretative color and reflection as in the other Weiss series available. Cardin's is not an "illustrative" recording to support any irrelevant and specialist theory of his. In a nutshell, Cardin has tried, it seems, to get inside the soul of Weiss and produce a set of recordings as close as we can imagine to performances as Weiss might have wanted them. Note too that Cardin believes that each suite was made as "a unique statement", that is – homogeneous in tone, impact and musical purpose. This is a somewhat advanced idea for the first half of the eighteenth century; Cardin's style of playing supports the idea, though. We should not forget the exhortation of Princess Sophie Wilhelmine, Weiss' student, to think of him as someone who "never had an equal and that his successors must remain content to imitate him."
Suite 10 is a suite (Weiss knew them as suonate, "sonatas") of real dignity and peace. Cardin likens its feel and tone to Schubert. In common with the other suites on this CD it has no prelude and a "paysanne" (a rough and ready upbeat folk-inspired movement); the opening allemande in each case is the longest movement. Few of these suites last more than just under half an hour and achieves a significant amount in that time. If you happen to start your listening at this point, you'll be struck by a graceful stylishness throughout. The eleventh suite is equally dignified while at the same time adding a note of melancholy and regret in its use of A Major. The "air en écho" is performed as a courante, more because of its position in the suite's sequence of movements than because there are unambiguous markings in any of the manuscripts. Simple sublimity is again the hallmark of this piece. The twelfth suite is different: much less "sure on its feet" and full of flourishes (see Cardin's short explanation in the background notes for this suite and specifically the way he has used purely Weissian techniques of ornamentation – although they may sound out of place to some listeners), it bespeaks the flamboyance of the French and particularly Italian courts, with the music of which Weiss was familiar.
Suite 13 is the first of five to have a supposedly unambiguous dating: 1719. It's a virtuosic piece with plenty of forward momentum; the writing in parallel octaves and indeed aspects of its structure suggest a more Classical than Baroque feel. In 1719! The final movement, a passacaille, will be familiar to guitarists as an exemplum or test piece. Listening to it in context is more rewarding. Number 14 is Bach-like with a kind of permissiveness in the sheer sound of the lute. Exuberant, triumphal almost, this is a suite in which Weiss seems – unassumingly, of course – to want to sit back and have us marvel at his breadth of strategies for matching technique to musical purpose. Suite 15 is, in contrast, somber and melancholy. The key (F minor) is largely responsible for the atmosphere of this suite. Listen to the sarabande… almost despair-inducing. This movement is also a good example of the way Cardin refuses to be rushed and may employ a variety of tempi in a variety of thematic and melodic material. As is evident in the fidgety bourrée and minuet, the depression is further deepened by an unself-conscious agitation.
Suite 16 is different from the preceding 15 in that it begins with a united prelude-toccata-fugue overture. Like number 17, it's also longer – lasting over half an hour. Number 16 is a dignified, not to say, lofty work and evokes feelings of dignity and decorum. Solemnity somehow pervades through several lighter passages (e.g. some quite rapid and spectacular arpeggios and a down-to-earth bouré) making this a very attractive suite, which Cardin tackles determined to respect this depth and drama. Number 17 is also different in that it is the only piece in the entire oeuvre to have a "title", Divertimento à solo. Despite which, there is a certain grandeur here too. It may be no co-incidence that it is from this point (number 17) in the sequence that Weiss displays greater leeway in how he constructs and arranges his movements… their names and sequences become more unconventional. Despite the appearance in the movement listing of multiple bourés, menuetts and gavottes, it's clear that these are to be played as wholes ensuring a balance that would otherwise be thrown out by an apparent ten-movement structure. The symmetry and integrity of Weiss' vision once more.
This batch of three CDs (more next time), then, has everything to recommend it. The recording is rich – maybe just a tiny bit over reverberant. the playing of the highest standard and the evidence for a carefully and thoughtfully-produced complete "package" (from the imaginative CD cover art to the afore-mentioned more than ample liner notes and details) clear and convincing. Have no hesitation in making the effort to hear, perhaps, a sample of this convincing, subtle and highly pleasing repertoire. Then buy the lot!

"A Moment Of Judgement for America"
Declares Fr. Frank Pavone, International Director of Priests for Life
A bill to ban partial-birth abortion has once again been approved by Congress and sent to the President. This is nothing less than a moment of judgment for America. We no longer hear people in this debate denying that a child is killed by this procedure. If our President vetoes this legislation, and if Congress cannot override the veto, then it is a clear sign that the ability of America to govern itself has failed in a radical way. This would be an outcome that no just person can either ignore or accept. State legislatures should continue to pass laws banning the procedure, and all people of good will should practice conscientious objection to laws which continue to allow the procedure. Massive, peaceful demonstrations in the streets should become the order of the day, to express the will of the people that legal child-killing have no place in America.
Fr. Frank Pavone is a priest of the New York Archdiocese and the International Director of Priests for Life. He currently works at the Vatican to help coordinate pro-life efforts throughout the world. Priests for Life is an official non-profit Private Association of the Faithful, recognized and approved under the Canon Law of the Catholic Church.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- Northern Westchester Hospital's Director of Center for Sleep Medicine, Dr. Praveen Rudraraju, provides advice on how to adjust sleep patterns with daylight-saving time.
The hour time change will affect some people more than others due to difficulty adjusting their circadian rhythm. By altering the clock our internal clock becomes out of sync or mismatched with our current day-night cycle.
Here are a few tips that might help you 'spring ahead' with ease:
• For two weeks after the time change, wake up five to 10 minutes earlier every two to three days. • Exercise 30 to 40 minutes in bright light (before 5 p.m.) daily. • Eat well before bedtime (at least three to five hours). • Don't drink caffeinated beverages after noon. • Limit alcohol to one drink with dinner and do not have alcohol after dinner. • Stop any computer activity an hour before bedtime. Instead, relax by reading, listening to quiet music or watching TV. • Stay out of your bedroom until bedtime. If possible, do not work in your bedroom.
Certain foods are associated with better sleep such as warm milk, bananas, nuts and carbohydrates like bread and crackers. Foods that should be avoided close to bedtime include caffeine, alcohol and fat-and protein-rich foods.
You can also learn about how busy schedules and daylight-saving time can affect your child's sleep patterns.

Salem police seek man who threatened store worker with syringe
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Police are trying to identify the man in this photo, who they say threatened a loss-prevention worker with a hypodermic needle after being confronted about a theft at Lowe's in Salem. COURTESY
SALEM - Police are searching for a man who attempted to steal a variety of saw blades from a Lowe's store but fended off loss-prevention workers with a hypodermic needle by exclaiming, "I have AIDS."
Police said two men entered the Route 28 store about 10 a.m. Tuesday and were soon confronted by loss-prevention workers about the theft. Once the unidentified man took the hypodermic needle from his pocket and began yelling, loss-prevention workers let him go. The man acted aggressively toward the worker and yelled, "I have AIDS" several times before fleeing from the store, police said.
The men sped off in a 2001 Nissan Maxima with Massachusetts registration 3PVF20, police said.
Detectives have identified one of the suspects as Victor Garcia, 32, of Lawrence, Mass., but are seeking the public's help identifying the second suspect through store surveillance footage. Police say an arrest warrant for Garcia will be forthcoming.
The duo is suspected of carrying out similar thefts at area Lowe's stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, police said. Salem officers who responded to the scene called Methuen and Lawrence, Mass., police departments to be on the lookout for the vehicle.
Salem police say they arrested Garcia last month for a similar theft.
A store surveillance photo released by Salem police shows the unidentified man wearing a dark-colored jacket and baseball cap and a red and black checkered scarf.
Lowe's loss-prevention staff told police they believe the two men are responsible for similar thefts at area stores based on information they've collected. The men are expected to face felony theft charges.
Anyone with information about the case can call tips in to Salem police at 893-1911, or anonymously through Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire at 893-6600.

Germany Civil Registration
Back to Germany Page►
Civil registration records are records of births, marriages, and deaths kept by the government. German terms for these records include Standesamtsregister, Zivilstandsregister, or Personenstandsregister. They are an excellent source for fairly accurate information on names and dates and places of births, marriages, and deaths. These records are kept by the civil registrar [German: Standesbeamte] at the civil registry office (Standesamt).
Civil registration in the German Empire began between 1792 and 1876, depending on the locality. Alsace-Lorraine started in 1792, since it belonged to France at the time. The creation of mairies that kept civil birth, marriage, and death registers was required by the French as they advanced into the German territories between 1808 and 1812. These early records are often written in the French language and use the French Republican Calendar. After Napoleon was defeated, civil registration was discontinued in many parts of Germany and replaced by parish register duplicates used for civil purposes, such as conscription. In Prussia, civil births, marriages, and deaths were kept again beginning in October 1874. Civil registration became mandatory in all German states on 1 January 1876. To learn more about when German Civil Registration began in individual provinces or states, click here.
Because they cover about 98% of the population and often provide more information than church records, civil registration records are important sources for German genealogical research.
For birth, death, and marriage records created before civil registration began, see Germany Church Records.

General Historical Background
Civil registration was begun in France with a law passed by the national Assembly on 20 Sep 1792. Alsace and Lorraine, which were under French rule at that time, were the first German areas to keep civil records of births, marriages, and deaths. French occupation of the areas left of the Rhine River in 1796 to 1798 brought civil registration to these areas as well. As the French advanced into other areas of Germany, they required local governments to keep civil records of births, marriages, and deaths. After Napoleon was defeated, civil registration was discontinued in many parts of Germany and replaced by parish register duplicates used for civil purposes, such as conscription. In Prussia, civil births, marriages, and deaths were kept again beginning in October 1874. Civil registration became mandatory in all German states on 1 January 1876. The records are created and kept by the Standesamt.
Between 1792 and 1876, most German states or provinces developed their own separate laws and civil registration systems. Some civil registration offices were established later than others. Therefore, the date a particular state began civil registration is only a general guideline and does not always apply to every town within its borders. In 1876 civil registration began in all of Germany, and since 1876 almost every German has been registered with the local civil government authorities.
Regional Differences
Between 1792 and 1798, when France occupied the area west of the Rhine River, the government began civil registration in parts of the Pfalz, Oldenburg, Hessen, and the Rhineland west of the Rhine. These records are usually written in French until about 1815. Hamburg began keeping civil registration records in 1799. As France's influence increased in Germany through the Confederation of the Rhein, the states of Braunschweig, Hannover, Westfalen, Bremen, Lippe, more of Hessen, the rest of Oldenburg and Lübeck established civil registration between 1808 and 1812. But when Napoleon's power began to fade in 1814, many of these states suspended civil registration.
By 1838 most of the province of Waldeck was recording marriage contracts. The prime minister of Prussia, Otto von Bismarck, instituted civil registration in all the provinces of Prussia in 1874. The remaining states—Anhalt, Bavaria, Lippe, Mecklenburg, Saxony, Schaumburg-Lippe, Thuringia, and Württemberg—began requiring civil registration in 1876.
In areas under French influence, especially Alsace and Lorraine, ten-year indexes were usually kept. Duplicate copies of civil registers were also made. The mayor's office [Bürgermeisterei] kept the original copy, and the duplicate was sent to the court [Landesgericht] or another central archive. For example, most of Westfalen and Lippe sent their duplicates to Detmold, and most of the Rhineland sent theirs to Brühl.
Privacy Laws
Until recently, stringent rights-to-privacy requirements in Germany limited access to all civil registration records created in 1876 or later to the subject of the document and their parents, siblings, and direct-line descendants. Strict
A law passed in February 2007, the Personenstandsrechtsreformgesetz, makes civil registration records more accessible for family history research. Since 1 January 2009 the records are accessible to any researcher after these time periods have passed:
- births: 110 years
- marriages: 80 years
- deaths: 30 years
A direct relationship to the subject of the record sought will only be required in cases where the required time period has not yet elapsed. Even then, the records may be accessible if it can be shown that all "participating parties" have died at least 30 years ago. Participating parties are both parents and the child in birth records, and both spouses in a marriage. Special regulations apply to records of adoptees and other special-needs groups.
If the records were created more recently than these time periods, and the death of the participants cannot be proven, the former restrictions still apply. Paragraph 61 of the Personenstandsgesetz clearly defines who has a legal right to civil registration information under these cirumstances. When requesting a record from the Standesamt (civil registration office), the relationship to the person named in the record should be clearly stated. In 2008, the fee for a copy of a civil birth-, marriage-, or death record was seven Euros plus postage.
Civil registrars often use international extract forms to fill requests from foreign countries. Not all the information present in the original record may be copied onto the extract. As a rule, marginal notes are left out, but other details from the record, such as parents' names and residences in marriage records, may be omitted.
Prior to the passing of the 2007 law, it was difficult or impossible to obtain any post-1875 civil registration records of birth-, marriage-, or death records for non-direct-line relatives (such as a great-aunt or -uncle), even if they were already deceased. Now it is not only possible to obtain records that meet these time requirements, but these records are even starting to become available online.
Information Recorded in Civil Registers
The information recorded in civil registration records varies slightly over time. Each state used a different format for civil registration. Preprinted forms have often been used for civil registration. In these instances, the form determined what information the record contains. The early French records sometimes give slightly more complete information than the later records. The most important civil records are birth, marriage, and death registers.
Births [Geburtsregister]
Birth records usually give the child's name; sex; and birth date, time, and place. The father's name, age, occupation, and residence are also usually listed. The mother's maiden name, age, and marital status are usually given, although her age is sometimes omitted. The names, ages, and residences of witnesses are usually provided. The parents' religion is also listed in some states.
Births were usually registered within a few days of the child's birth by the father, a neighbor, or the midwife. Corrections and additions to a birth record may have been added as marginal notes.
Marriages [Heiraten, Ehen, or Trauungen]
Marriages were usually recorded where the bride lived. After 1792 a civil marriage ceremony was required in areas of Germany under French control. In 1876 this law was applied to all of Germany. Most couples also had a church wedding, so records may exist for both the civil and church ceremonies. The civil marriage records may include more information than the comparable church records. When possible search both the civil registration and church records.
Records of Intention to Marry
If you believe a marriage took place but cannot find a marriage record, search records that indicate the couple's "intent to marry." Various records may have been created to show a couple's intent to marry:
- Proclamations[Aufgebote or Eheverkündigungen] were made a few weeks before a couple planned to marry. The couple may have been required to announce their intentions in order to give other community members the opportunity to object to the marriage.
- Marriage Supplements [Heiratsbeilagen] were often filed by the bride or groom to support their marriage application. Information included may document their births, their parents' deaths, and the groom's release from military service. Sometimes the records contain information about earlier generations.
- Contracts[Ehekontrakte] are documents created to protect legal rights and property of spouses. These may give the same information as the marriage supplements noted above. They also list property and are usually found in court records rather than in civil registration records.
- Marriage Permission Papers [Verehelichungsakten] are documents created in the process of obtaining permission to get married. Some states required prospective spouses to get permission fom the local city council or mayor before they could be married. For Bavaria and Hessen-Nasssau many of these files have been microfilmed. They may be cataloged under "court records", "civil registration", or "public records".
Marriage Records [Heiratsregister]
You may find the following records documenting civil marriages:
- Marriage Registers [Heiratsregister]. Civil officials recorded the marriages they performed, usually on preprinted forms bound in a book and kept in the civil registration office. Marriage registers give the date and time of the marriage. They list the bride's and groom's names, ages, birth dates, birthplaces, residences, occupations, and whether they were single or widowed. The registers also give the parents' names, residence, occupations, marital status, and whether they were living at the time of the marriage. Witnesses' names, ages, and relationships to the bride or groom are supplied. Often a note is made as to whether a parent or other party gave permission for the marriage. The couple's religion is often mentioned, especially after 1874.
- Certificates [Heiratsscheine]. Some couples were given a marriage certificate or a book [Stammbuch] with the marriage entry and space for entering children's births. The certificate or book may be in the possession of the family or the civil registrar.
Deaths [Sterberegister or Totenregister]
Death records are especially helpful because they may provide important information on a person's birth, spouse, and parents. Civil death records often exist for individuals for whom there were no birth or marriage records. Deaths were usually registered within a few days of death in the town or city where the person died.
Early death records usually give the name of the deceased and the date, time, and place of death. The age, birthplace, residence, occupation, and marital status of the deceased may also be given, along with the name of the parents or spouse and their residences. The informant's name, age, occupation, residence, and relationship may also be listed. Post¬1874 death registers also include the person's religion. Information about parents, the birth date, the birthplace, and other information about the deceased may be inaccurate, depending on the informant's knowledge.
Locating Civil Registration Records
Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office [Standesamt]. You must therefore determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. In a few places, such as Detmold and Speyer, duplicates have been gathered into a central archive.
If your ancestor lived in a small village, the civil records may have been kept in a larger nearby town. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place where your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see Germany Gazetteers). You also need to know at least an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, or death of your ancestor occurred.
Large cities often have many civil registration districts. City directories can sometimes help identify which civil registration district a person lived in. The Family History Library Catalog lists books showing registration districts for street addresses in Berlin, Leipzig, Magdeburg, Breslau, and Stettin.
Records from Towns now in Poland
Extracts of German records requested from towns now in Poland will be written in Polish. Addresses of civil registration offices in formerly German areas of Poland, along with an inventory of available German civil registration records, are found in:
Brόzka, Tomascz. Deutsche Personenstandsbücher und Personenstandseinträge von Deutschen in Polen 1898 bis 1945. Frankfurt a/Main und Berlin: Verlag für Standesamtswesen, 2000. ISBN 3-8019-5674-1. (Int'l Ref area 943.8 V23b copy 3).
The addresses of Civil Registration Offices in Poland can be found online at this link.
Indexes to Civil Registration Records
Births, marriages, and deaths were written in the civil registration records as they occurred, and thus they are arranged chronologically. Where available, indexes can help you find your ancestor more easily. The indexes usually cover one year at a time and are located at the beginning or end of each year. You will sometimes also find an alphabetical index at the beginning or the end of a volume. These indexes and volumes may cover many years.
Each civil registrar [Mairie or Bürgermeisterei] in Elsaß-Lothringen has cumulative indexes that cover ten-year periods [Tables décennales]. To use these indexes, you need to know the town or district where a person lived; the approximate year of birth, marriage, or death; and at least his or her surname. The indexes are alphabetical by at least the first letter of the surname. The Family History Library Catalog usually indicates which records have index listings.
Records on FamilySearch Microfilm
The FamilySearch has microfilmed civil registration records up to around 1900 for Alsace-Lorraine, and from 1874 to approximately 1884 for various parts of Prussia, as well as various records from the Napoleonic era and a few sets that go beyond 1900. The use of sets containing post- 1900 records may be restricted.
In Hannover, Hessen-Nassau, and Westfalen the filmed civil registration records mostly cover 1808 to 1812, and sometimes 1874-1875. In the Pfalz [Palatinate] early 19th century marriage supplements are often cataloged under "[town name] - civil registration".
The Family History Library has records from many towns and states. However, the library does not have records that were destroyed, have not been microfilmed, were not available in the registrar's office at the time of microfilming, or are restricted from public access by the laws of the country. You may use the records at the library for your family research, but you must contact the civil office holding the records if you want an official certificate for living or deceased individuals.
To find civil registration records in the Family History Library Catalog, search the Place Search under:
The library's collection continues to grow as new records are microfilmed and added to the collection. Do not give up if the records you need are not available. The Family History Library Catalog is updated regularly. Check it periodically to see if the records you need have been added to the library's collection.Learn more about Locating Records Not at the Family History Library.

I agree with you as I think most others do as well. I'm just saying I don't expect MG to make any bold moves and if he doesn't then I'm ok with seeing what the kids can do. Not thrilled, not what I want but have to go with it, or not support the team.The_Pauser wrote:
I am never okay with this. No professional sports GM (who wants to be successful) should EVER be in a position where they just "hope for the best." There has to be some logical plan, some progression, and some sort of expectation. In my mind there are really only two paths that make sense: 1) Contend for the Cup; 2) Reload so you can have a legitimate shot to contend for the Cup in the future. Just by inserting some of our own prospects onto largely the same team we saw last year we really aren't doing anything but wasting another year.
Gillis messed up big time last year, plain and simple. I still recall him talking about our offense as being good enough at the State of the Franchise event last summer, and I couldn't believe it. Low and behold our offense was our achillies heel once again. How many embarrassing playoff performances will it take before he actually gets it?
Either we go all in and try to contend (going to take a lot of moves to make this happen, so much that it's quite unlikely), or we begin rebuilding. That doesn't mean we necessarily have to blow everything up like I have proposed in some of my lineup proposals, but we need to do more than just inserting Schroeder, Gaunce and/or Lain.
If what I heard, that there is a market for Ballard, and what rikster has heard, that they have a deal they like for Luongo, are true, then we see two big pieces traded which are close to 10 million. I suppose we have to wait to see what we get back in those deals. Then we will know what type of cap space we have left to play with. But everyone knows the Luongo deal, for a number of reasons, has got to be the priority.
And I can see him returning to the NYI. They have a good up and coming team that is finally starting to show promise. Now if they would take Edler too for a huge return since they are about to lose their captain maybe we get ...

PPD uses cookies on this website. Please be aware that if you continue browsing the website without changing your cookie settings, you consent to this. For more information on our use of cookies, please review our cookie policy.
© 2018 Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC. All rights reserved.
This notice is effective as of 27 May 2014
and last updated 1 October 2014
Clinical and medical research are founded upon the collection and analysis of the most confidential information about people. Individuals will only share their sensitive information where there is a culture of trust, where all stakeholders implement safe data handling practices. Operating within this environment, Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC and its affiliates (together "PPD") recognize that when we handle information about any individual, we must do so responsibly, with due care to individual privacy, complying with laws on data privacy and confidentiality.
This PPD Global Privacy Policy describes the main types of personal information we process within our global organization, how that information is used and disclosed, and our commitments to the individuals whose information we handle. The policy explains in general terms how we seek to comply with data privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to national laws implementing the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC ("directive") within the European Union, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and state security breach laws in the United States, data protection legislation adopted by increasing numbers of other jurisdictions globally, and the privacy and confidentiality requirements of ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The policy also shows how PPD's U.S. affiliates comply with the U.S. Department of Commerce EU & Swiss Safe Harbor Framework for the transfer of personal information from the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
PPD has enacted internal policies, procedures and training programs designed to support compliance with these laws and this policy. Our policies, procedures and training programs are reviewed on a regular basis, and managed by a team of privacy professionals with senior executive oversight.
Clinical and Medical Information
As a global contract research organization, we collect, host and analyze significant quantities of health data and biomedical samples relating to study subjects on behalf of our clients. To enhance privacy, consistent with GCP, subjects' names and other direct identifiers are not attached to records or samples collected by PPD for research purposes. Instead, subjects are only identified by a code. Only study doctors and authorized personnel, including PPD monitors and PPD auditors, may access named subject records at source. In certain cases where local law allows, PPD may also collect full date of birth attached to study records. We maintain that this indirect identifier can on occasion serve to verify subject identity to the benefit of patient safety.
PPD provides additional services that may involve the collection of health information linked to named individuals, for example in our Phase I clinic, and within operations supporting patient recruitment, post-approval pharmacovigilance and medical information. We appreciate the sensitivity of such information, and the privacy protections we apply in these areas are more rigorous.
All clinical and medical information processed by PPD is done so under contract with our clients. In terms established by the directive, PPD considers that the sponsor/client is ultimately in control of how and why clinical and medical data are processed within our services and as such is the "controller," whilst PPD and its affiliates are "processors."
Health Professional Information
PPD analyzes the professional profiles of doctors and other health care providers for the purpose of identifying potential investigators to assist in clinical and medical research on specific indications. The company will use available contact information, including email addresses, for the purpose of inviting potential investigators to apply to participate in research. PPD will source health professional information from its own databases and also indirectly from public sources, data brokers and referrals. For operational purposes, PPD will also collect information relating to the involvement and performance of investigators and supporting study staff. The company will also process financial information of investigators to support payment for services.
Employee and Human Resource Data
PPD collects personal information from applicants to open positions within the company, including private contact details, professional qualifications and previous employment history to inform employment decisions. PPD conducts various background checks on applicants, including where law allows on criminal history and professional disbarment. Once employed, PPD collects information on staff for human resource, performance, payroll and tax purposes. Various company internal systems will collect and record employee level information consistent with standard business operations. PPD processes similar information relating to consultants contracted on a freelance basis.
Web Visitors
PPD collects named information about visitors to company websites where this is voluntarily provided to meet a request from those individuals, for example where a client contact requests information on a company service, a health professional is interested in participating in a clinical trial or where someone wants to apply for a vacant position with the company. Through the use of cookie-based technologies, PPD may collect various data linked to virtual identities allocated to visitors when they access our websites. These data are used for various purposes, including site analytics and first party marketing (see Online Issues below). In certain cases, these virtual identities are linked to the real world identities of visitors when they provide their named information as described above. This allows PPD to tailor marketing messages to those individuals, inclusive of information that is likely to be of interest to them.
PPD operates contact centers for the purpose of providing medical information to health professionals, patients and other interested parties on specific pharmaceutical products sold by our clients. These contact centers also collect adverse event information and deliver this to relevant pharmacovigilance professionals for processing as required by regulation. Personal data on those who call or email our contact centers are only collected to process requests for information and allow adverse event reporting. Calls may be recorded for quality assurance purposes. Callers (inbound and outbound) are notified if their calls are recorded.
Personal information will be shared within PPD, companies working as agents of PPD and third parties only on a "need to know" basis to meet stated legitimate business purposes. Access to databases and folders containing personal information is restricted to appropriate staff. PPD does not trade or sell personal information. Under some circumstances, PPD may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to disclose certain personal information as part of investigations or for litigation purposes. PPD may disclose personal information to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of PPD's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding.
Companies working as agents of PPD are required to sign "processor" and/or confidentiality agreements whereby they will commit to only process personal information consistent with contracted purposes, apply appropriate organizational and technical security safeguards, and where relevant, meet the requirements of the Safe Harbor Framework.
PPD is a global company serving an industry that is increasingly globalized in its approach to clinical research. Personal information will be shared across international borders as required to service global projects. PPD hosts personal information in databases in different locations throughout the world, mainly in the United States. In certain circumstances, PPD and client personal information will be hosted within vendor platforms located in the Internet cloud. PPD recognizes that many countries globally have regulations restricting the flow of personal information across international borders. PPD has put in place measures to ensure that adequate protection is provided to such data where legally mandated. For example, PPD's U.S. affiliates commit to comply with the Safe Harbor Framework for the transfer of personal information from the European Economic Area and Switzerland. In other circumstances, PPD has entered into intra-group agreements to provide necessary safeguards to data. Where privacy risks are very low, for example with respect to the sharing of key coded data, PPD may rely on informed consent from individuals for the transfer of their information to legal regimes with less strong data privacy safeguards.
At the point of data collection, PPD will provide notice to individuals in a clear and conspicuous language about how their information will be used, disclosed and transferred; what choices they have in relation to how their data are handled; what informational rights they have under data privacy law or under this policy; and who to contact with any questions or complaints. These privacy notices are tailored to specific situations of data collection. In providing such notice, PPD meets its obligations to be transparent and fair with individuals as is required by many data privacy laws. Dependent on the medium, notice may be given in person, by email, post, telephone or by posting on our website.
In many situations, including where mandated by data privacy law, and also where it is a matter of good practice, PPD will seek consent of individuals to collect, use and disclose their data consistent with the relevant privacy notice. However, in certain cases where law allows, particularly where gaining consent will involve a disproportionate effort and the privacy risks are low, PPD will proceed to process personal information absent of consent. Also, PPD will use and disclose personal information without consent where required by law and judicial order.
Consistent with GCP, laws on confidentiality and data privacy regulations, PPD will collect necessary informed consents of study subjects on behalf of its clients. PPD will suggest template consent language to its clients, including necessary content as dictated by local law.
Crucial to the integrity of clinical research is the accuracy of data relating to study subjects, particularly where attached to biomedical samples. Consistent with regulatory requirements, PPD employs a professional quality assurance organization to ensure accuracy of clinical information. In general, our privacy notices provide individuals easy means of validating, correcting errors and updating information. PPD retains personal information according to purpose and regulatory requirement, as directed by our corporate retention schedules.
In jurisdictions with data privacy laws, and where Safe Harbor Framework commitments require, PPD ensures that individuals can exercise all relevant informational rights with respect to their personal information processed by the company, including but not limited to the right of access and correction, to prevent direct marketing, block processing and erase data. In all other respects, where no overriding interest prevails, PPD will endeavor to allow the following informational rights under this policy as a matter of good practice:
Study subjects must contact their investigator at site, who will be able to make the necessary link to subject identity.
The company maintains a comprehensive information security policy that seeks to apply technical and organizational security measures that protect personal information, particularly sensitive clinical data, against unauthorized access or loss. Consistent with regulatory requirements, particularly in the U.S., PPD also maintains a detailed security breach policy, which establishes a procedural response to dealing with any breach of personal information, including making any necessary notifications to individuals or governmental authorities.
PPD Web pages may contain links to websites outside of the company. Linked websites are not under the control of or endorsed by PPD. This policy does not apply to linked websites outside the PPD organization. It is recommended that visitors review the privacy policy of each individually linked website.
A cookie is a data file that is placed by a website operator on the hard drive of a visitor to their site. Cookies with the following functions are enabled to the computers of visitors to PPD websites: to allow the site to deliver the service requested by the visitor; to remember repeat visitors; to improve the user experience of the site; to allow the company to perform site analytics; and to help tailor marketing messages to the visitor based on previous browsing. Company cookies are enabled and controlled by the PPD digital communications team, which is established on U.S. territory. The online relationship with PPD may be managed by using settings available on most internet browsers. For example, most browsers will allow a visitor to choose which cookies can be placed on their computer, to delete or disable cookies, and to set "do not track" as a function. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent a visitor from using certain features on PPD websites.
PPD does not collect information through its websites from individuals who are known to be under the age of 13, and no part of PPD's online presence is directed to anyone less than 13 years.
All communications, queries, requests to exercise informational rights (e.g., access to data) or complaints, including those that relate to compliance with the Safe Harbor Framework, should be addressed to the attention of the executive director of global privacy, PPD, Granta Park Cambridge, CB21 6GQ, United Kingdom, or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
As is required by the Safe Harbor Framework, Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC and its U.S. affiliates, employ mechanisms for providing recourse to individuals and remedying any problems arising out of failure to comply with the Safe Harbor Principles by committing to cooperate with European data protection authorities. More about the Safe Harbor Principles and PPD's obligations under the Safe Harbor Framework is available at the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor website at: http://export.gov/safeharbor/.
PPD's Global Privacy Policy is not a contract, and it does not create any legal rights or obligations. PPD reserves the right to modify or amend this policy. For instance, the policy may need to change as new legislation is introduced or as it is amended. The updated policy will be posted on http://www.ppdi.com/. We recommend that the policy is reviewed from time to time.

All displayed prices include standard UK postage - no shipping charges are added at the checkout, if you are in the UK mainland.
The website was easy to use and they shipped my item more or less straight away. It was delivered within 3 days. Very good experience.
Fast delivery and it was cheaper than Amazon! :)
The game I ordered was delivered really quickly and was well packaged.I've been buying a few games recently but mainly from amazon and I've found their packaging poor and game boxes can sometimes be damaged. Allgoodmeeples were much better - just as fast and at great prices. I will be buying from them more in the future.
Ordered online and I can only assume it went straight into the post box. Very happy, good stock and cheaper (even with postage) than my local store.
Fast delivery and competitive prices.

Madelia Hosts Governor's Pheasant Hunting Opener
MADELIA (AP) - The festivities begin Friday as the south-central Minnesota city of Madelia hosts the third annual Governor's Pheasant Hunting Opener.
Madelia city administrator Dan Madsen says they're looking forward to showcasing their community as the pheasant capital of Minnesota.
Friday's activities include a series of shotgun shooting events, dedication of a veterans memorial, a banquet and a free concert. Saturday's events include a community breakfast before hunters take to the field.
Madsen points out there are 8,600 acres of public hunting land within 20 miles of Madelia. Pheasant research for the Department of Natural Resources is headquartered in the community, which is about 20 minutes west of Mankato and 90 minutes southwest of Minneapolis.
More than 80,000 people are expected to hunt pheasants this year across Minnesota.

f you watch Spike TV's "Bar Rescue"you know how hard Jon Taffer's job is. Recruited by drinkeries, Taffer not only revamps bars' design, menus and business practices, but deals with bullheaded owners. He's already had to fix a pirate bar (!) in Silver Spring (!!) for the premiere of Season 2 last week. But for this Sunday's episode (9 p.m.), he attempts to fix Fells Point's J.A. Murphy's, which became Murphy's Law ... and then closed. What went down? We decided to awkwardly ask Taffer.
I don't think I've ever seen you madder than when you saw the J.A. Murphy's cook cross-contaminate food after touching raw chicken. Just how close were you to punching the one owner in the face when he was laughing about it?
Yes. Getting people sick makes me furious and his smirk almost took me over the edge. But I guess you noticed that.
A guy in the episode said the bar smelled like a combination of "balls, cheesecake and a porta potty." What exactly do balls and cheesecake together smell like?
That combination of pungent smells pretty much describes it!
You sent your daughter, Sam, in for some investigative work in the episode. How do I become your son for a day and have you take me on bar rescuing missions? Not that I've been dreaming about that or anything.
Sam would not like that and you do not want to mess with Sam.
The two owners were frat buddies. Is the lesson here not to open a bar with a friend or not to join a frat?
Definitely do the frat. Let me explain it like this: If you were into drugs I wouldn't suggest you become a pharmacist. Get the message?
An interesting part of the show is where you practice your bar science (the height of stools, what goes where on a menu, etc.). Where can I go to study bar science and why exactly didn't I major in that in college?
No such book exists. I'm the only nutcase in my industry who picks this stuff apart.
My favorite episode so far has been the champagne bar, Swanky Bubbles, in Philly. Seriously … Swanky Bubbles as a name?! I think I would have quit when I heard that.
Stupid names need stupid comments. It was fancy, smancy.
In the Season 2 premiere you went to a pirate bar in Silver Spring called Piratz. Please tell me you demanded a raise after that one.
I got it before I walked in. Or walked the plank, as it was.
When walking through Fells Point, how much did you have to resist walking into a certain bar you saw from the outside and rescuing it?
Honestly, I liked some of the bars in Fells Point. Coming directly from Piratz, Fells Point bars seems world class!
Here's an idea: rescue bars in foreign countries. I would love to hear you shout in another language.
Actually, after 30 years of traveling, I have found the best foreign language shouting is mainland China.
Murphy's Law is now closed. What should go in its place?
I understand they sold it and got their money back. I suggest a bar with different owners … maybe a pharmacist?
Jordan Bartel is assistant editor at b and never went to J.A. Muphy's ... or Murphy's Law. Email him at email@example.com or follow him on Twitter, @jordanbartel.

GRANDVIEW - A split vote on the fate of Bethany Presbyterian Church Pastor Lance Ziegler sparked the birth of a new congregation that will hold its first Easter service this Sunday.
Carl and Lois Raymond were longtime members at Bethany and are among now former members of the congregation who recently began Faith Family Fellowship.
Raymond said the vote to dismiss Ziegler was 37 to 30, and many of those who wanted to keep the pastor left Bethany to form Faith Family Fellowship.
"It was not a knee-jerk reaction," said Raymond, a 20-year member at Bethany and one of the church's elders. "It was well thought out."
Raymond and others from Bethany, including Ziegler, have long been at odds with Bethany's parent organization, Presbyterian Church (USA), for what they see as liberal practices, such as ordaining gay and lesbian pastors.
Though Faith Family Fellowship is currently independent and non-denominational, Raymond said the congregation is considering allying with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, which he notes holds more conservative values.
"We're talking about it," Raymond said of switching to the more conservative Presbyterian branch. "I think that was one of the reasons they let Pastor Lance go."
The new church's focus isn't just about being a place for former Bethany members.
Faith Family Fellowship's purpose statement is "disciples making disciples for the glory of God." Raymond adds, "We want to be a church of church planters and build other churches throughout the valley. We're looking for those who don't have a church home."
Church services, says Raymond, are informal, with members taking turns preaching and leading worship.
"Come as you are, that's what we're shooting for," he says, noting church goers often meet around tables. "A table gives you a place for your Bible and a cup of coffee," Raymond says.
Faith Family Fellowship, a congregation of about 30 people, will meet at its usual Sunday worship time of 10 a.m. this Easter Sunday, and will hold its service at 801 Grandridge (Gems Reception Center).
Games will be provided for the children and following the service a free brunch will be offered.
Raymond says on Sunday, April 15, the church will return to its usual meeting place at the Vineyard banquet room, 150 Division St.
Besides 10 a.m. Sunday services, Faith Family Fellowship offers a 6 p.m. Wednesday potluck meeting.
He notes the church's informal structure extends to its offerings each Sunday.
"We do not pass a plate, but have an offering box to put the offering in," he says. "If you want to give you can and if you don't that's okay."

CMOs: Innovators and Adopters
As a precursor to the IBM Global Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Study to be published later in 2011, the Economist Intelligence Unit, in cooperation with the IBM Institute for Business Value, conducted an online survey of nearly 300 executives to assess which trends are impacting CMOs and how CMOs are responding to today's complex business environment.
CMOs are facing shifting marketplace conditions as well as a customer base that increasingly relies upon digital communications tools and has heightened expectations for quality, service and corporate transparency. The question is whether CMOs are proactively responding to the challenges and changes before them.
The initial results of this survey suggest CMOs are following two distinct paths:
- Innovators: These CMOs are in the minority. They champion a fully integrated approach to marketing that leverages cross-functional relationships and insights to engage customers, create perceived value, and generate a positive response to the brand and its proposition.
- Adopters: These CMOs, seemingly the majority, are not yet on the leading edge in accommodating or leveraging new dynamics in marketing strategy. While well aware of these dynamics, such as the increasingly common use of collaborative communications, they are struggling somewhat with a clear plan of execution that will deliver optimal benefits to their organization and customers
Are CMOs, besieged by the speed of change, retreating to what they know best, or reinventing themselves? And how are they positioning themselves to execute value-creating marketing strategies that pull all the levers to be effective? To find out, download the complete executive report.

Manchester primary: Mayor's race a little closer than expectedBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 17. 2013 9:52PM
MANCHESTER — Tuesday's city primary may portend a closer race for mayor of the state's largest city than many anticipated.
Alderman Patrick Arnold won 41 percent of the vote, while incumbent Mayor Ted Gatsas was 56 percent. A third candidate, Glenn Ouellette won 3 percent of the vote.
Turnout was low, with a total of 7,161 votes cast, but it was higher than it was in 2011, when only 4,868 votes were cast in the primary.
The Arnold campaign quickly seized on the results.
"Tonight's results really speak to the power of the grassroots, and to what we can accomplish as a city if we work together," Arnold said in a statement. "That's how we are going to win this race, and that is how I will lead as mayor."
Mayor Gatsas said he wasn't disappointed by the results. "We won all 12 wards. I'm happy we were victorious," he said. "I'm happy my supporters came out, and I know they'll be that much more anxious to work in the general election to make sure we get a victory in November."
In his last election contest in 2011, Gatsas won 71 percent of the vote against challenger Chris Herbert.
In the eight other city races for alderman and school board, all the incumbents who ran survived, but Ward 10 Aldermen Phil Greazzo, with 265 votes, was the runner-up against Bill Barry, who won 313 votes.
Incumbent Ward 2 Alderman Ron Ludwig won 471 votes; in November, he'll face Win Hutchinson, who won 217 votes. Jeffrey Sullivan won 123 votes.
Incumbent Ward 2 school board member Debra Gagnon Langton won 414 votes; she'll face Sarah Browning, who won 247 votes. Carol-Ann Giovanni won 81.
Incumbent Ward 6 school board member Dan Bergeron won 308 votes; Robyn Dunphy won 259; Bill Hughen, 154.
Incumbent Ward 9 Alderman Barbara Shaw won 336 votes; she'll face Victoria Sullivan, who got 145 votes. The runners-up were Timothy Sawyer with 96 and Russell Spaulding with 52.
In Ward 11, incumbent Alderman Normand Gamache won 258 votes to Christopher Hussey's 52.
For Ward 12 school board, Christine Duffley was the top vote-getter with 239; she'll face Constance "Connie" VanHouten, who had 214. Joel Elber won 136 votes.
In the contest for Ward 12 alderman, Roger Beauchamp won 249 votes.
He'll face Keith Hirschmann, who won 215. Dick Marston got 168 votes.
In the special election for Ward 7, District 14 state representative, Democrat Mary Heath beat Republican Ross Terrio, 350 to 311.

I, too, am impressed. To break through a lifetime of conditioning is an admirable feat.

The gilt-trimmed high-rises of Waikiki offer a seductive escape from L.A. But those who rent a car — a convertible, please —- can find a simpler side of Oahu on the North Shore, an hour or so away, where locals and tourists carry surfboards instead of Louis Vuitton purses (real or fake) and debates about where to eat focus on which food trucks serve the best garlic shrimp. Residents call it "the country," and they want to keep it that way.
Haleiwa is the only real town on the North Shore, and it's mainly a line of one-story beach shops, cafes, bars and shave-ice outlets along the highway.
Even the North Shore's only large hotel, Turtle Bay Resort (57-091 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku; [800] 203-3650), is more comfortable than glamorous, although the ocean and bay views from many of the rooms in its three wings must be among the most spectacular in Hawaii.
Environmentalists have opposed parts of a proposed expansion (new hotels and more condos) at the 840-acre resort, with five miles of beaches and 36 holes of golf. But regular guests are pleased that Turtle Bay is renovating its 397 guest rooms and suites, two restaurants and spa.
The needed overhaul began in January and should be completed in mid-October, when accommodations will have a "contemporary beach house" look with new furniture, bedding and fixtures, as well as walk-in showers. The new spa will double in size to 11,000 square feet.
The Palm Terrace restaurant has been renamed the North Shore Kula Grilleand opened this month, with an emphasis on farm-to-table offerings and local seafood, meat and poultry. The hotel's 21 Degrees North will be renamed Pa'akai (salt) when it reopens in late May with an ocean theme and a menu that mixes and matches seafood with sauces and cooking styles.
After a day trip to the North Shore several years ago, my husband, Keith, and I returned in mid-January to stay at Turtle Bay Resort. We liked that T-shirts, shorts, flip-flops and bathing suits were the preferred attire, and that the pool was largely occupied by friendly Australian families with toddlers who gleefully splashed in the water.
The bed
I was concerned about online reviews of Turtle Bay that complained that the rooms "looked tired." Keith's response: "Like we don't?" Furniture was chipped in our spacious unrenovated room, which had a large dressing area, bathroom and balcony, but the paint was fresh. Each day we were there, we liked it more, easing into the laid-back lifestyle, watching surfers and a couple kissing under a beachside tree.
Staff seemed a little confused at times during the initial week of renovation, and there was debate about whether we got free breakfasts with our six-night package ($314 a night, plus tax, and a mandatory $25 daily resort fee, although at other times this package can begin at $219 a night). Two breakfasts cost about $60 without the deal.
The meal
Garlic shrimp. Giovanni's, Fumi's and Macky's were among half a dozen recommended garlic shrimp outlets, as was Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp (56-781 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku; [808] 232-2202. Open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily). We smelled the peppery, boiling shrimp at Romy's before we saw the roadside red shed and adjacent red tables and benches under a tent roof. I peeled my sweet and spicy shrimp with my fingers, while Keith devoured garlic shrimp, each $12.75. Worth the mess and shredded paper towels. Also, Foodland supermarkets sell good sushi, sandwiches and the best egg custard pie I've ever eaten.
The find
Waimea Valley (59-864 Kamehameha Highway; [808] 638-7766. Open 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. daily, $15 adults, $7.50 children and over age 60). We drove by it several times, figuring it was comparable to the immensely popular Polynesian Cultural Center nearby (55-370 Kamehameha Highway, Laie; (800) 367-7060. Closed Sundays), a busy place introducing Polynesian island nations. But the nonprofit Waimea is gentler, a botanical garden and historic site with a three-quarter-mile trail (or an optional golf cart ride) to a modest waterfall. We happened upon a market, local vendors selling food and crafts, a delight.
The lesson learned
Turtle Bay says that every room has a water view, but some on lower floors look at the ocean and bay over broad first-floor rooftops, which reportedly will be planted with vegetation to improve the view. We were on the fifth floor of the southern wing, and the view was mind-boggling, worth the higher fee. All rooms are large, but one wing has balconies that are half the size of the others.

Building on the performance of today´s digital multimeters
To improve performance while using existing technology, engineers must design analog and digital circuits that are "cutting edge" in terms of speed, sensitivity and range. The DMM they use needs to have the appropriate levels of measurement sensitivity and range to do the job. The Fluke 8845/8846A meters meet this need in multiple ways by:
- Increasing the range of each major measurement function beyond what is standard in today´s popular meters.
- Volts dc ranges from 100 mV to 1000 V with a max resolution of 100 nV.
- Current dc ranges from 100 uA to 10 A with a max resolution of 100 pA. Compared to other popular multimeters, the 8845A/8846A increase the range on both ends of the spectrum - from pico amps to amps.
- Resistance ranges from 10 ohm to 1 Gigohm, with a max resolution of 10 uohm. Now engineers can perform a critical low ohms measurement as well as a high impedance measurement with one tool.
At the heart of modern electronic devices and many other products are printed circuit boards (PCBs), which have proven to be rugged, reliable, and quickly and inexpensively produced. Thermal imagers provide a powerful set of diagnostic tools for testing PCBs during design and prototyping - and can even help improve manufacturing excellence when used in production, process monitoring and quality assurance applications.

Hundreds of Red Cross blood drives have been cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, representing a loss of thousands of blood and platelet products. The Red Cross is asking people who are eligible, especially in places not affected by the storm, to schedule a time to give blood in the days and weeks to come.
To schedule a donation time or get more information about giving blood, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To give blood, you must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in general good health.
