On Presidents Day evening,the Grammy Awards association aired a television special on CBS featuring contemporary artists,many of them award winners themselves,in order to pay tribute to Mister Stevie Wonder. Not only was this a tribute to an artist I completely admire creatively. But someone who won awards and earned his success and fortune through the true innovation of sound. It was an event filled with many surprises. And today I would like to talk about what I saw,sung,laughed and danced to watching that night right along with so much of America!
The evening began with Beyonce performing a medley of Stevie's first hit "Fingertips" and "Master Blaster" joined by guitar player Ed Sheeran. The highlight of this intro was from the guitarist Gary Clark Jr,who played a rocking blues electric guitar solo on a rendition of "Higher Ground".
LL Cool J was of course MC'ing the entire affair as he has the previous two Grammy Award ceremonies. He began by talking about Stevie Wonder's effect on his life-as many of the artist this night did. Wonder was visibly moved to tears by this level of affection for his art. Towards the end of the special,LL asked the audience all over the world to close our eyes for a moment to contemplate the level of vision Wonder projects into his music. A very meaningful gesture.
Lady Gaga's performance of "I Wish" moved me perhaps the most on this special. Playing the Fender Rhodes electric piano with the help of keyboard maestro (and former Wonderlove member) Greg Phillinganes, Gaga was moved to move rhythmically to the music as Phillinganes took over the keyboard soloing. Not only was this a pronounced celebration of the instrumental ability of an artist mainly acknowledged as a performer. But was a pretext to a beautiful shout out and citation to the often very unsung talent of Greg Phillinganes himself-especially as a participant in Stevie's ascent into iconic status in music.
Annie Lennox took on "My Cherie Amour",vocally taking on a full bodied understanding of the emotional juxtaposition between passion,flirtatiousness and awkwardness expressed in this song. Jill Scott,Janelle Monae and India Arie-pictured at the top of this blog paying tribute to their favorite Stevie Wonder albums,gave a truly powerful group duet of the song "As". Not only did they successfully pay tribute as presenter Mary Wilson indicated of the classic girl group dynamic? But each of them took a try at imitating Stevie's famous growled vocal bridge of the song.
Pharrell Williams and Ryan Tedder did a spirited duet version of "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"-pointing out that often a song intended as a singular expression by an individual can be reflected by two as well.
Jennifer Hudson bought her powerful gospel fueled pipes to a passionate take on the renowned ballad "All In Love Is Fair". She maintained the flavor of the song as a secularized romantic hymn until the very last note was sung. Stevie's daughter Aisha joins Ne-Yo in a duet of "Isn't She Lovely"-essentially paying it forward to her fathers musical tribute to her birth.
Andrea Bocelli shares physical blindness in common with Stevie Wonder and for this particular occasion? He gives his own vocally expression rendition of "I Just Called To Say I Love You". Ed Sheeran did an acapella/guitar rendition of "I Was Made To Love Her" showcasing Wonder's talents as a multi instrumentalist.
Relative newcomer Ariana Grande performed "Signed Sealed and Delivered" in an acoustic bluesy soul flavored rendition with Babyface performing the vocal duet and playing acoustic guitar in accompaniment. Another example of a song intended from one person's point of view-this time taken from a male/female dynamic.
Overall this was a very impressive tribute. All of the participants did something totally unexpected with Wonder's songs. And most importantly? There was a great deal of understanding of the man's musical visions from them as well. Paul McCartney made a brief guest appearance sharing personal reminiscences of knowing "Little Stevie" as a teenager. And perhaps Tony Bennett before his performance of "For Once In My Life" said one key artistic point-that Stevie Wonder's vocal and compositional spontaneity made him one of the best jazz artist Tony'd ever heard.
Perhaps the best observations came from Stevie Wonder himself. Having been cited for his often unsung importance as the public consciousness of the crusade to make Martin Luther King Jrs birthday a national holiday in 1980? Stevie played a medley of his fusion instrumental "Contusion" and "Sir Duke". He than spoke to the audience about how the only way humanity could deal with it's present cultural clashes would be to come together with our differences,not use them as a wedge. The fact Stevie's views on humanitarianism have remained consistent throughout the years says the most important thing about the interconnection between this man and his musical offerings.

Just like every year, I'm a mentor in Google Summer of Code 2013. This year I'm mentoring two students:
- Mattias Bengtsson, who will be working on implmenting route search in Maps. Since the Maps project was actually started by Mattias himself before he even thought of SoC and he has been working on maps (in general) as his fulltime job for 2 years now, I feel very confident about him being able to deliver.
- Kalev Lember, who will be working on implementing the new date&time panel in GNOME control center. Kalev has been contributing to different GNOME projects and has been very active in Fedora packaging business. Having had the pleasure of pair programming with him last week, I feel very confident about him delivering his project as well.
So I got two awesome students, what could be better? There is the coincidence that both of them are located in ̶G̶o̶t̶h̶a̶m̶ ̶C̶i̶t̶y̶ Gothenburg, the very same city where one of our designers, Andreas Nilsson lives in. Since Fabiana Simões (another designer) was visiting Gothenburg, Andreas saw an good opportunity for a hackfest and thats where I was at last week along with the rest of the Maps team. I'm glad to report that we got some stuff done:
- We all discussed the design and investigated which online services we can use for various features. Topics included:
- Single vs. multiple instance app
- Map view animations
- Specialized printing of routes
- Rendering our own tiles in the future
- Andreas drew us icons and mockups for zoom-in/out control and routing UI.
- Mattias worked on moving most of the Maps UI code into .ui files, implementing zoom in/out controls and made sure that he has everything he needs from designers for his GSoC project and beyond.
- I ported Maps to geoclue2, made progress on porting geocode-glib from Yahoo Places API to Nominatim and to directly use libsoup, and reviewed patches from Mattias and Kalev.
- Kalev helped me out with porting Maps to geoclue2, figured out the cause of annoying bug in Maps that made it impossible to do anything in Maps once you click on any markers, and added basic printing support.
It was really nice to meet Mattias and Kalev in person and I finally had the pleasure of meeting Andreas Henriksson outside the Internets. There was also the GNOME Beers event and in general we did quite some team bonding. My only regret about last week is that that I didn't get around to do any sight seeing.
Special thanks to
- Andreas for arragning the event and helping me navigate the city.
- Chalmers University of Technology and Henrik Sandklef for the venue.
- GNOME foundation for sponsoring my flight tickets.
- Hanne Sundin and Martin Zackrisson for providing me a place to stay.

Fire damages 4 buildings in Homewood
Sterrett Street fire badly damages Faith Mission of Baptised Believers of Apostolic Church
Four buildings, including a church, were damaged early Saturday morning in a four-alarm fire that remains under investigation in Homewood.
The Pittsburgh Fire Bureau estimated about $200,000 in structural damage and another $80,000 in damage to the contents of the buildings on Sterrett Street.
The American Red Cross was providing food and clothing to a family of two adults and one child who now need a new place to live.
The Animal Rescue League said a dog was found Monday morning in the basement of one of the homes that caught fire. Rescuers said the floor above the dog was ready to fall in. The ARL received the dog at its shelter on Hamilton Avenue but has been unable to reach the owner.
The white boxer is a female and about five years old. She has been undergoing oxygen therapy for smoke inhalation
SLIDESHOW: Photos of the fire and the damage
The flames did some serious damage to the Faith Mission of Baptised Believers of Apostolic Church. Members said the fellowship hall has a ceiling that could collapse.
"There's some damage also in the sanctuary," church member Angela Stubbs said. "We were able to grab a few things, but we're just trying to figure out what it is that we can salvage and maybe keep, because last night the firemen actually told us the building's condemned."

Post Operative Rehab, Balance and Fall Disorders, Osteoporosis Rehab
The Luna App
Available in
No paperwork, no patient intake, and no driving to and from the clinic. With Luna, Molina patients get 45 minutes of physical therapy with just a standard co-pay.
There's no waiting room, and there's no waitlist either. Appointments can be scheduled with just a few hours of advance notice. Because your recovery can't wait.
Let your physical therapy come to you—whenever and wherever it's most convenient. Booking a PT session is easy: just download the Luna app or give us a call.
PT is one of those things that when you need it life kinda sucks. Luna makes this super easy with a simple to use app, direct billing to insurance and care within your home at your convenience. I setup my account and someone was at my house the next day. Not sure how they make this service any more amazing than it already is...
"The fact that it's just me and my therapist, in a private setting, really makes a difference. I love the 1:1 time and attention... it helps me get better, faster, without making a multi-hour commitment to drive to the clinic."
The people at Luna are very kind and accommodating. When I first called for an appointment, I was able to setup an appointment within a few days. Other places I called could not get me in for several weeks.
"Home is the most comfortable location for me. I don't have to worry about getting to the clinic, especially when I'm in pain. The service has been fantastic, and now my daughter and husband also use Luna. It's absolutely perfect."
Fantastic!! As a mom of 4 kids, I don't have a lot of extra time to sit in traffic or in waiting rooms. My daughter loved her therapist, who ended up teaching her some new exercises to help with her sport injury. She's already seeing results!
"I feel like an elite athlete with my own dedicated PT. And, in my experience, having my PT come to my house gets me healed more quickly. Plus my Luna therapist just really cares more about my results."
The therapist was very knowledgeable, gave good advice on what to keep in mind as I'm recovering; and also does good massages for parts of my back which are tense. If you're seeking physical therapy, these folks are really great.
"Being able to have appointments later in the evening, after my husband gets home from work, is so much easier. My days are so busy and having treatment when it's convenient for me and my family is the best."
Post Operative Rehab, Balance and Fall Disorders, Osteoporosis Rehab
Manual Therapy, Spine Care, Post Operative Rehab for joint replacement
Ortho and Sports medicine, Pelvic Floor
Patients insured by Molina love Luna. Why? We're not just a traditional physical therapy provider. We do physical therapy in the most convenient way imaginable — at home. Book an appointment in the app, and our therapists will come to you. There are no waiting lists, no waiting rooms, and PT sessions are available to Molina patients for just a standard co-pay.
Our therapists are available for appointments across the United States. We come to you to make the PT experience as convenient as possible. See our coverage.
Appointments are available 7 days a week, from 6:30am-8:30pm. We make it hassle-free to complete your full course of care by having your Luna therapist come to your home. See our clinic comparison chart.
You do not need a prescription to start physical therapy. As a Molina Healthcare patient, you can see a therapist as long as it is deemed "medically necessary." Some plans may require a prescription for coverage, and if that's the case with your plan, we'll work with your doctor to obtain one. Read more about prescriptions.
We strive to have a single therapist work with each patient for their entire course of care. Sometimes your scheduling priorities may require adjustments, but you'll always know who is seeing you for your appointment in advance.

Good Morning,
Equity futures are just ahead of even prior to the open. The dollar is slightly lower still trapped beneath what was support and is now resistance, bonds are lower, oil is higher and testing $106, gold is setting a new record high while silver jumps too, and most food commodities are also higher.
There is no data this morning, but Consumer Credit is released late this afternoon. This week will be a very light week for economic data. POMOs of course big time through Wednesday and on Thursday we receive the new POMO schedule. The daily POMOs are growing in size, that along with other ways the "Fed" is adding liquidity is creating one giant risk bubble – Zimbabwe style, but on a global scale.
Of course the economy and the stock market are two different things – yet psychologically many equate the stock market as a reflection of health in the underlying economy. At this stage it's most certainly not, it is the product of hot money creation and fraud, there is little real that is currently underpinning the heights that the market has attained. This fantasy that inflating our money supply will someday result in a spontaneously healing economy is absolutely ridiculous. What it results in is starvation for those on the margins and violence as the difference between the haves and have-nots has already surpassed the revolution tipping point along the scale of despotism in most countries. The only thing keeping revolution at bay in the U.S. are our social welfare programs that keep genetically modified grain and plenty of corn syrup in the bellies of the underclass while those who can afford "organic" pay the extra price.
JPMorgan even managed to capture the food stamp program for the entire U.S., that's how complete the capture of our government and people is.
But revolution is never that easy as the people in Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia are finding out. I can't help but think things are going to get far worse in the Middle East at some point… whenever things get out towards the edges, the risk of a larger event or series of events grows.
And no, oil is not doing a moonshot only due to tension in the Middle East. It requires hot money to fuel the rocket effect in price, and the world's central bankers have certainly been supplying plenty of that. Still, those on the margins are already being dramatically affected by the high price, we are far beyond the tipping point for the U.S. economy. Oil above $80 has always resulted in economic pain, and this time will certainly be no different, especially for those living on the margins and the numbers of those marginal in our economy is growing daily.
For those keeping score, the pullback in the markets so far doesn't even qualify as a pimple on Bernanke's hot money rear. Still, as long as price remains below the upper blue line you see in the DOW flag below, it is possible that prices are still inside of a wave 2 movement about to move down in a wave 3. If prices rise above the top of the flag, however, then the hot money and HFT parade continue onto new highs starving the masses all the sooner:

The UFC's return to Louisiana now has 12 official bouts.
UFC brass recently announced that a contest previously reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), Justin Edwards (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Jorge Lopez (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), will indeed take place at UFC Fight Night 25.
Featuring a welterweight headliner between Jake Shields and Jake Ellenberger, UFC Fight Night 25 takes place Sept. 17 at New Orleans' Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
The night's main card airs on Spike TV, though Lopez vs. Edwards is slated for the preliminary card.
Lopez, who trains out of Las Vegas with Wanderlei Silva's fast-rising fight team, has amassed an 11-1 record and current 10-fight win streak since his pro debut four years ago. Recent wins have come over notables such as Strikeforce vets Wayne Phillips and Waachiim Spiritwolf, WEC vet Dave Terrel, and Chidi Njokuani.
He now meets the Ohio-based Edwards, a cast member on "The Ultimate Fighter 13" who joined the UFC after a perfect 6-0 pro record (with six stoppages). However, in his official UFC debut, he suffered a close split-decision defeat to Clay Harvison on the preliminary card of the show's live finale back in June.
For more on "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou," stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt your regularly scheduled weekend programming to bring you shocking footage. Despite all evidence to the contrary, we're able to provide video proof a Jaguar product can indeed go 100,000 miles. Suck it, Joe Lucas.
With holiday travel and trips all over the place, I've been driving much more than I thought, putting miles on the XJR at an appalling rate. It was on the way home after Thanksgiving I realized the car was closing quickly on the 100,000 mile mark. Naturally I panicked, as historically, putting 100k on the clock of a Jag was like putting 800k on a Toyota. The fear started to set in, some irrational stupidity telling me something terrible would happen now that I'd noticed those miles. Naturally the car made it home without incident, but then I tried to think of a way to do the car right for this noteworthy achievement. After a few days I decided nothing would suit the car better than crossing the mark under hard acceleration. So here it goes, proof positive a Jaguar product can go 100,000 miles without blowing up, catching fire, leaking oil, or burning through fuse boxes:
Realize what you've just witnessed is as shocking as seeing a Yeti riding a unicorn while fighting the Lock Ness monster. As a reward, it'll be getting a 100,000 mile service, which involves a great deal of inspection, a new supercharger belt, new brake pads and probably an oil pan full of fresh synthetic. Then a nice rest over the winter months. And now, back to your regularly scheduled Murilee Martin programming.

LEICESTER � A 33-year-old Southbridge man was killed Wednesday night when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a car on Route 56 just north of Stafford Street.
Police received several 911 calls reporting a motorcycle had crashed into a near Kindred Hospital, 111 Huntoon Memorial Highway (Route 56), just after 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the 2004 Suzuki motorcycle driven by the Southbridge man was going north on Route 56. A 48-year-old woman from the Bronx, N.Y., driving a 2007 Toyota Matrix had just exited the hospital when the collision occurred.
The Leicester Ambulance Service treated both drivers and took them to St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester. The motorcycist was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, according to police. The Toyota driver was treated injuries that were not life-threatening injuries and was released.
Police have not released the identity of the motorcyclist.
Leicester police were assisted at the scene by state police, Leicester Ambulance Service and Leicester Fire Department.
The crash is still under investigation by Leicester police and the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council accident reconstruction unit .

NEW YORK � He caught just one pass during the regular season, and did nothing but watch from the sidelines when the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers to get to the Super Bowl.
Funny, though, how many people can�t stop talking about Percy Harvin.
�Percy is an atomic bomb,� Seattle receiver Ricardo Lockette said. �He is the ultimate weapon for our offense.�
�When he gets in the game, I think everyone has to yell, �He�s in! He�s in! There he goes, number 11, number 11,� said Denver cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. �He is a guy that can make it happen from everywhere on the field. You have to watch him.�
So far there hasn�t been much to watch in Harvin�s brief tenure with the Seahawks, unless you happened to be at the bank when he deposited the first chunk from the $67-million contract he signed after being acquired from the Minnesota Vikings for a handful of draft picks. There was a time near the end of the season when the odds of Harvin being put on injured reserve for the year were a lot better than they were of him playing in the Super Bowl.
But in the Super Bowl he is, and the speedy receiver who can�t seem to stay on the field could be a difference maker against the Broncos.
It�s a possibility Harvin is eager to embrace.
�I�ve been hearing X-factor and this talk,� Harvin said. �This is not my first rodeo. I�ve played in a lot of football games and I�ve been effective at doing that. I�m not worried about anything other than what I�ve always done, and that is go out there and play football the way I know how.�
No one has ever doubted Harvin can play football. He caught passes � and lots of them � from Tim Tebow at Florida, and had some electrifying catch-and-runs in the four years he played for the Vikings.
What Harvin has had is trouble staying healthy, from migraines that seemed to always occur at the wrong time to the hip injury the Seahawks didn�t see coming. And just when it seemed he might be healthy enough to give Seattle a playoff boost, he suffered a concussion when his head bounced off the turf of CenturyLink Field after leaping for a pass in the end zone in the second quarter of a 23-15 divisional playoff win over New Orleans.
His season stat line is a disjointed one, with Harvin on the field for a total of just 40 snaps. Including the New Orleans game he�s caught just four passes for 38 yards.
Hardly the kind of numbers that might keep Denver defensive backs up at night worrying. But worry they do, because Harvin can line up anywhere and do things that can change games once he gets the ball.
�You have to know your history on Percy Harvin,� Rodgers-Cromartie said. �You have to go back and watch the film at Minnesota, see how they used him there, and see that he can do some things. You have to understand he is a guy that can play every position from the backfield to the outside to being in the slot.�
Just a few weeks ago, the Seahawks were about to give up on Harvin. His roster spot was too valuable to waste, and if it weren�t for an impressive workout session with quarterback Russell Wilson that doubled as a postseason tryout the day after the regular season, Harvin would likely have been done for the year.
He almost gave up himself.
�I�m going to be really blunt and straightforward. If it wasn�t for my teammates being there for me the way they were, I might�ve just shut it down,� Harvin said. �Just being discouraged, there came a point in time where the training staff didn�t know whether it was a smart idea to try to come back in the same season. I probably would�ve been done with the season if it wasn�t for my teammates.�
If the playoff game with New Orleans is any indication, expect Harvin to get a lot of touches Sunday night. He�ll be used in the slot and split out wide, and he will be the primary kickoff and punt returner for the Seahawks.
Break a return or a tackle or two on a route, and it�s entirely conceivable he plays a deciding role for a team that doesn�t have a lot of explosiveness without him.
�I want to hold up my end of the bargain and do the things I was brought here to do,� Harvin said. �I�m looking to go out there, play a great game and try to make some plays for my teammates. Just being out there with them gives me joy.�
Playing in the Super Bowl could salvage a season for Harvin and make up for a lot of frustration for him and the coaching staff.
And playing well in the Super Bowl could give Seahawks� fans a lot of joy, too.
Super Bowl: Could Percy Harvin be the difference?
NEW YORK � He caught just one pass during the regular season, and did nothing but watch from the sidelines when the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers to get to the Super Bowl.

Ok super quick post about Almond Flour. They make delicious brownies. I need to to by some almond flour so I can make these (and lots of other things)
Almond Flour Brownies
Almond meal, almond flour or ground almond is made from ground sweet almonds. Almond flour is usually made with blanched almonds (no skin), whereas almond meal can be made both with whole or blanched almonds. The consistency is more like corn meal than wheat flour. Almond meal has recently become important in baking items for those on low carbohydrate diets. It adds moistness and a rich nutty taste to baked goods. Items baked with almond meal tend to be calorie-dense. Lots of gluten free bakeries use almond flour in their brownies and cakes because it is gluten free and does give it a nice nutty taste.
(Makes 1 8 x 8 pan):
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules(optional)
- 1/2 cup vegan butter (Earth Balance)
- 7oz semisweet or bittersweet baking chocolate, divided OR 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
- Mix together the almond flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, melt together 4 ounces of chocolate or a scant 1/2 cup chocolate chips with the vegan butter.
- White the chocolate is melting, beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and coffee granules if using.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg/sugar mixture while whisking until fully incorporated. Don't go too fast so that the raw eggs don't cook upon contact.
- Pour the chocolate mixture in with the dry ingredients and mix completely.
- Pour the batter in an 8 x 8 pan.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate and gently press it into the batter.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let these cool completely before cutting in. YOU NEED TO LET THE BROWNIES COOL COMPLETELY.
Ok. Almond flour! GO GET SOME! It's good for you! 🙂 YAY!

Maine effort to help Hurricane Sandy victims with rebuilding tools and supplies
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Fire stations in Portland are collecting rebuilding tools and supplies for a relief effort aimed at helping victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Maine Helps, a group of Maine volunteers supported by the Portland Fire Department, is collecting items to help storm victims who are still trying to reclaim and rehabilitate their homes in Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, New York, that were heavily damaged by last October's hurricane.
On Saturday, fire stations in Portland are serving as collection points where citizens can drop off any of the needed items, ranging from commercial grade dehumidifiers and propane space heaters to hammers, work gloves and painting supplies.
The collected materials will be shipped to distribution centers in New York.

text: 'American Idol': 5 Drastic Changes to Save the Show 5:00 AM PDT 5/8/2013 by Shirley Halperin FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME American Idol 5 Changes - H 2013 Axing theme nights, replacing judges and producers -- all options are on the table as ratings keep sinking. This story first appeared in the May 17 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. An unprecedented air of uncertainty surrounds the once-dominant American Idol as the Fox show continues to slide in the ratings. Down 22 percent this season, its May 2 episode was the least-watched ever, drawing just under 11 million viewers. Battles between freshman judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj -- both onscreen and on Twitter -- have combined with near-geriatric theme nights (among season 12's guest mentors: Smokey Robinson and Harry Connick Jr.) and led producers to put all options on the table. Here are five ways Idol might look different next season. PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Season 12: The Top 10 Finalists 1. Another judge overhaul Tension between Carey and Minaj is said to be so bad that they never cross paths until cameras are rolling. In all likelihood, neither will be invited back. Says a production insider: "The show has always taken pride in being about the contestants, not the judges. And if the judges had a little rapport with each other, it wouldn't be all about them. Instead, all anybody ever wants to talk about is how the judges don't get along. It's exactly what producers didn't want." So what happens next? Fox and Fremantle already have reached out to former judge Jennifer Lopez, who will perform on the May 16 finale. And sources say they are looking at several non-diva music industry contenders. 2. Bye-bye, theme nights "These contestants are not interested in the old stuff," notes an Idol insider of themed performance shows focused on The Beatles and Burt Bacharach as NBC's The Voice, also on a downward trajectory ratings-wise, offers Pink and Justin Bieber songs. A highly placed source says Idol producers likely will do away with themes altogether since the free-choice method of semifinals had much stronger tune-in. 3. New executive producers? While grade-school pals Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick are credited with driving the Idol train for 12 years (Lythgoe took a two-season break) -- and keeping it from going off the rails -- they're usually the first to shoot down finalists' contemporary song choices. Show insiders speculate that the sixtysomething Brits might be sent home next year, but a production source insists talk of the duo's exit is "rumor." VIDEO: 'American Idol' Homecoming With David Cook and Casey Abrams 4. Scrap the summer tour? If lower ratings translate to weak ticket sales for Idol's 40-date summer trek, which kicks off June 29 and hits venues like Detroit's Joe Louis Arena (capacity: 20,000-plus), promoter AEG might consider ditching the tour to save money and headaches. "You have to match the public's interest," says Jared Paul, who has overseen the Glee and Dancing With the Stars tours. "Whether somebody will part with their hard-earned money is all talent-dependent." Worth noting: The Voice and Fox's The X Factor don't currently take their talent on the road as a package offering. 5. Format tweaks After 12 seasons, nine as broadcast's top-rated show, drastic reinvention might not be in the Idol vocabulary as cheerleaders insist that vote counts and social media engagement have not declined at all. Rather, sources say "format tweaks" are in store for the future. Will they be enough to save the show?

About Hair Usage / Care
Basic care1) the combing action should be slight
The wig should be combed before use. After putting on the wig, it can be combed a little. To comb the wig, it is better to use a relatively thin comb. When combing the wig, the method of oblique side combing should be adopted, and the straight combing is impossible, and the action should slight. You don't need to comb every day. 2) In order to prevent the wind from blowing the wig, some people like to use a hair clip to hold the wig. However, the clip should not be used too tight. Otherwise, it is easy to smash the wig of the wig. Therefore, it is best not to use a hair clip, you can use a decorative hair band to fix the hair on the wig. 3) do not rub with your hands when washing
Hair clips that are often worn are usually washed once every two to three months. Before washing, comb the wig and then comb with a diluted conditioner solution while washing. Do not use both hands to twist them, and can not wash the wig in the washing liquid. Using both hands to gently rinse the foam above the direction of the hair, then dry it, avoid exposure in the sun. Can not be washed with normal shampoo, you can use ordinary conditioner. 4) After washing the wig, carefully dry it one by one, do not wrap it in a towel and dry it. After absorbing water, squeeze it out, do not screw it, and it will deform. 5) try not to approach the high temperature, because the material relationship wig is not resistant to high temperatures (except for special high temperature wire); 6) chemical fiber wigs can not be dyed, if you need to trim, you can ask a professional stylist to trim the hair. 7) a small amount of hair loss during the finishing process is a normal phenomenon;
(Precautions for wearing wigs
Wearing wigs generally does not cause allergies, but those with more sensitive physiques are better not to wear them. In addition, the wig will have a certain impact on the skin of the head. If a person with skin disease such as dermatitis or eczema wears a wig, it may aggravate the condition and wait until the skin disease is completely discovered. In addition, the summer weather is very hot, wearing a wig is not good for perspiration, so the wearer should choose a good quality wig when choosing a wig, preferably with a breathable net, and should not be worn for a long time. How do girls wear wigs naturally and beautifully? First of all, you should cover your hair with a headgear so that your hair is not exposed, especially the bangs. If you use a wig, pay attention to the color and the color of your own hair, do not be out of touch. ) 8) wigs should be used to comb so that the hair dust on the wig must be cleaned regularly. After cleaning the wig, dry it with a dry towel, then dry it with a hair dryer or put it on the stand to dry it naturally. This is good for health and can extend the life of the wig. 9) the wig should also be cleaned and placed on the stand to avoid folding. 10) be careful not to spray styling gel on the wig, hair wax and other hair styling agents used in this way will make the wig become sticky 11) when combing the longer wig, the wig should be divided into several sections, combing from top to bottom,beginning from the bottom up, must be slight, have patience; 12) try not to do the shape when wet, it will damage the hair. 13) Use a non-oily maintenance liquid for wigs (the method of use is also very simple: gently spray a few times on the wig before putting it on) to make the wig soft and bright and prevent static electricity, so that the wig stays moisturized. Just like when you just bought it back!
Q1) wig knotted?A: You can spray the wig care solution first, then try to comb it slowly. Use a steel comb, start from the bottom, and move it up a little. If it is difficult to organize the knot, you need to cut it directly. Rolling bigger, of course, this still requires patience. If it is curly hair, it can be done by hand.
Q2) the wig took a long time. How should I care after getting hair?A: In the process of using the wig, if there is a knotting or fluffing, you should not use strong force to comb, otherwise it may cause the wig to be short or fall. It is best to buy maintenance fluid for the maintenance of wig water, spray it well, and comb it.
Q3) How to deal with hair loss?A: If you buy a three-piece net, you can use the BB clip to fix the wig when the wig is large. If you buy a wig with three nets and a plastic net, the wig has a black high-speed car and a ribbon, and there is a hook on each side of the ear. When you feel loose, you will put the hook, and once you hang it in the back of the wig. To achieve the effect of adjustment!
Q4) How to protect hair after dyeing?A: Using some hair care products for shampooing to improve the damaged hair, but the hair that has just been burned is not suitable for washing immediately. It is recommended to wash it after forty-eight hours. The shampoo temperature should not be too high, and water below 40 °C is suitable. Repair shampoo, and some nourishing hair mask are good for dyed hair. It is recommended not to use a hair dryer after the first few shampoos to avoid exposure to sunlight.
Q5) Wig is too oily?A: Wash with shampoo and conditioner, or wash with detergent.
Q6) Falsely initiate static electricity?A: After shampooing, the conditioner can be used to align the active molecules of the hair, reduce the fiber charge of the hair, reduce the electrical resistance, and form an anti-static protective film to make the hair moist and smooth.
Q7) Wig split end ?A: I usually do my best care, so there will be very few forks, such as cleaning, placing, and hair care. Not much fork can be cut it becoming shorter.

This has to be the best hair i ever bought !!!!! I absolutely love this hair! the hair didn't have a bad or strong smell, no shedding, full bundles, pattern remained after washing, and received in 3 business days . I'd definitely order from them again!
Great soft Hair! Customer Service was excellent!There's a so little sgedding, a few strands. Really nice hair will purchase again . amazing! I've gotten so many compliments on the hair.?I will DEFINITELY be ordering hair from this vendor again.
They get 5 stars because of their communication throughout the ordering process. The frontal is beautifully made and feels great. The bundles were very different which was disappointing. When voicing my concerns the seller was very regretful and willing to rectify the situation. I will try them again. Hopefully the bundles match the frontal.

I love finding emerging tools and services in use outside of the library. Why? Some librarians I've met aren't sure if "normal people" use these things… they tend to think that only techie types use them.
Pointing these uses out also helps libraries see 1. what our customers are using, and 2. provide ideas for how WE as libraries can reach out to our communities, using tools and services the community is already using.
So what's our local Rotary Club doing? They are live streaming their events, using ustream.tv – how cool is that?
FYI – they also have a twitter account.
Libraries – anyone live streaming events using tools like ustream.tv or justin.tv? Let us know!

A Los Angeles congresswoman beamed in support from Hollywood on Thursday to spread the word about legislation she introduced in the U.S. House to end inequities that same-sex couples face in the Social Security system.
During a news conference on Capitol Hill, Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) said her legislation, the Social Security Equality Act, would allow gay families to gain access to the same survivor and pension benefits available to opposite-sex couples.
"The gay and lesbian population will not be told by their government that they are second-class citizens," Sánchez said. "Same-sex couples pay into Social Security — they should receive the full benefits they have earned."
Sánchez's bill, H.R. 4609, would eliminate the Social Security Administration policy denying same-sex couples benefits. According to Sánchez, gay male couples receive 18 percent less in Social Security benefits than straight couples, while lesbian couples receive 31 percent less because women statistically earn less money.
Four types of Social Security benefits are denied to same-sex couples: spousal retirement benefits after one spouse retires; disability benefits if one spouse becomes disabled; survivor's benefits, which allow surviving spouses to claim either their own Social Security benefit or an amount equal to the compensation that would have been afforded to their deceased spouse; and the death benefit, which provides for burial expenses.
The legislation, which was previously introduced in 2010, has 95 co-sponsors: all Democrats. The four openly gay members of Congress — Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and David Cicilline (D-R.I.) — have all signed on in support.
Celebrities appeared at the news conference to advocate for the legislation alongside the lawmakers and LGBT advocates. Supporters carried signs reading "Outlaw Social Security Discrimination" and "Stop Economic Violence Against LGBT Seniors." One sign was a mock Social Security card with "same-sex couples" written in the line allotted for a name.
George Takei, famed for his role as "Mr. Sulu" in the "Star Trek" series, appeared with his spouse, Brad Altman, and decried the hardship that same-sex couples face because of inequities in the Social Security system as "unfair and unjust."
"There are same-sex couples who are denied equality often when misfortune befalls same-sex couples," Takei said. "One falls ill, or tragically one might pass away. A survivor is left not only grieving, but financially insecure — and often the home they've built together, shared together is lost."
Hal Sparks, known for his role as "Michael" in Showtime's "Queer as Folk," also spoke out against the current system for putting LGBT seniors in a position that is "not only emotionally difficult, but financially or physically dangerous."
"It is odd for me, at this very moment, that as the law stands, I have rights that many of the people who are standing behind me, to my right and my left, do not have," Sparks said. "If the law is not changed, they are headed toward a future that is more limited, more fractured and, quite frankly, more dangerous than mine."
Another speaker at the event felt the discrimination under the current Social Security system firsthand. Alice Herman, from Los Angeles, a spokesperson for the grassroots group "Rock for Equality," talked about the difficulties she faced after losing Sylvia, her partner of 45 years.
Even though both had paid into Social Security for more than 50 years, Herman at the age of 73 wasn't able to receive survivor benefits following the death of her partner, who had a greater income. While Herman was a social worker, her partner worked in business and climbed the corporate ladder.
"When she died, much to my amazement, Social Security denied me the death benefit, then Social Security refused to provide me with the survivor's benefit," Herman said. "These denials came even though we were legally married. They dismissed our 45 together, our 45 years of love and commitment, our 45 years of contributing to society as meaningless."
Had she been able to receive these benefits, Herman said she would have been able to stay in her home. However, she was forced to find another place to live because the only other option would be living in her car.
LGBT advocates also railed against the Social Security system for not providing gay couples the same benefits as others.
Lorri Jean, CEO of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, said same-sex couples pay into Social Security with every paycheck, but are unable to reap the full benefits of the system.
"Every single month, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center provides programs and services to thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender seniors," Jean said. "Too many come because they have been denied Social Security benefits."
Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, commended Sanchez for introducing the legislation and emphasized Social Security's effectiveness at being "one of the most successful anti-poverty programs in the nation's history."
"The Social Security Equality Act begins to give same-sex couples the dignity they deserve and the financial security they desperately need," Carey said. "In a time of flat income for most Americans and disappearing pensions, it is absolutely vital for the government to protect our most vulnerable."
Michael Adams, executive director of Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders, or SAGE, also stressed the need for the bill as a way to help LGBT elders.
"Whether it's our LGBT community or our community as a whole, our elders are our pioneers," Adams said. "They are the people who led the way for us, and the fact that in 2012, we are still having this argument over whether LGBT elders would be treated with dignity and respect and tolerance is outrageous."
Adams said most seniors rely on Social Security for at least half of their retirement income, and LGBT elders need Social Security even more because they're more likely to be living in poverty than opposite-sex couples. Additionally, Adams said LGBT elders are more likely to live single in their old age, and one-third of single elders rely on Social Security for their entire retirement income.
Despite the push by advocates, movement in the Republican-controlled House is unlikely. Nonetheless, Sánchez said she's hopeful the legislation will receive a hearing in the House Ways & Means Committee, which will have jurisdiction over the bill.
Sánchez said she hasn't had the opportunity to have a conversation with Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) about the bill because it has just been introduced, but said "that conversation will be taking place in the near future." The Ways & Means Committee didn't respond to a request for comment on the measure.
The legislation is being introduced relatively late in the 112th Congress compared to other LGBT bills, which were introduced at the start of last year. Sánchez said the bill was being introduced at this time because "there were certain legislative nuances to the bill that we had to work out."
Advocates at the news conference also said talks were underway about a Senate companion, although no one would identify any potential Senate sponsors or give an estimate on when the legislation would be introduced.
It's unclear whether the bill would be necessary if the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits federal recognition of same-sex couples, were overturned, or if further revision would be needed after DOMA is lifted to ensure same-sex couples are eligible for Social Security benefits.
Sánchez said she wants to push for DOMA repeal as she advocates for the Social Security Equality Act.
"Ultimately, DOMA is an issue that we have to deal with, and the preferable route would be to repeal DOMA," Sánchez said. "But this is one step we can make on the path to making that happen and we're hoping that if we get the support that we need and the grassroots to have this legislation pass — because it's such a clear case of economic discrimination — then that undermines the arguments in DOMA."
Jean talked about the need to overturn DOMA at the same time she pushed for passage of the new legislation.
"Of course, we still need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and ensure that same-sex couples are given all of the rights that are straight brothers and sisters enjoy," Jean said. "But until that day, the Social Security Equality Act will make a crucial difference to countless elderly people."

For nearly 30 years, the United States government has been cheating millions of Social Security recipients out of up to 60% of their EARNED benefits due to the unfair WEP and GPO laws. Bills to repeal these laws that have thrown many seniors into complete poverty are never even voted on by our cowardly congress. That's because whenever a bill to repeal these unfair laws they are tied up in committee and never see the light of day. Our congress people whine that they can't live on their $174,000 per year salaries, yet they have no trouble sleeping at nights when America's senior citizens have been forced into poverty because of this nation's corrupt Social Security laws. We can't afford to pay seniors the benefits that they actually earned but we can afford to give away billions to foreign banks, and squander over FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They should push for immigration rights as well. Binational gay couples are in dire need of help.
A very important issue, becoming more so as we all age.
While at it, fully repeal the earnings limitation from age 62 to 65 and allow claim and suspend, why tell seniors to take benefits at 62, retire, and have to wait until they are older to go back to work?

Drawing combinators as a functional interface to 2D graphics using OpenGL.
This module is intended to be imported
qualified, as in:
import qualified Graphics.DrawingCombinators as Draw
Whenever possible, a denotational semantics for operations in this library
is given. Read
[[x]] as "the meaning of
Intuitively, an
a is an infinite plane of pairs of colors and
a's. The colors are what are drawn on the screen when you
render, and
a's are what you can recover from coordinates using
sample. The
latter allows you to tell, for example, what a user clicked on.
The following discussion is about the associated data. If you are only
interested in drawing, rather than mapping from coordinates to values, you
can ignore the following and just use
mappend and
mconcat to overlay images.
Wrangling the
a's -- the associated data with each "pixel" -- is done
using the
Applicative, and
Monoid instances.
The primitive
Images such as
circle and
text all return
Image Any
Any is just a wrapper around
Bool, with
(||) as its monoid
operator. So e.g. the points inside the circle will have the value
True, and those outside will have the value
Any False. Returning
instead of plain
Bool allows you to use
Images as a monoid, e.g.
mappend to overlay two images. But if you are doing anything with
sampling, you probably want to map this to something. Here is a drawing
with two circles that reports which one was hit:
twoCircles :: Image String twoCircles = liftA2 test (translate (-1,0) %% circle) (translate (1,0) %% circle) where test (Any False) (Any False) = "Miss!" test (Any False) (Any True) = "Hit Right!" test (Any True) (Any False) = "Hit Left!" test (Any True) (Any True) = "Hit Both??!"
The last case would only be possible if the circles were overlapping.
Note, the area-less shapes such as
line, and
always return
Any False when sampled, even if the exact same
coordinates are given. This is because miniscule floating-point error
can make these shapes very brittle under transformations. If you need
a point to be clickable, make it, for example, a very small box.

Basic types
The type of images.
[[Image a]] = R2 -> (Color, a)
The semantics of the instances are all consistent with type class morphism.
I.e. Functor, Applicative, and Monoid act point-wise, using the
Color monoid
described below.
render :: Image a -> IO ()Source
Draw an Image on the screen in the current OpenGL coordinate system (which, in absense of information, is (-1,-1) in the lower left and (1,1) in the upper right).
clearRender :: Image a -> IO ()Source
render, but clears the screen first. This is so
you can use this module and pretend that OpenGL doesn't
exist at all.
sample :: Image a -> R2 -> aSource
Sample the value of the image at a point.
[[sample i p]] = snd ([[i]] p)
point :: R2 -> Image AnySource
A single "pixel" at the specified point.
[[point p]] r | [[r]] == [[p]] = (one, Any True) | otherwise = (zero, Any False)
regularPoly :: Int -> Image AnySource
A regular polygon centered at the origin with n sides.
An (imperfect) unit circle centered at the origin. Implemented as:
circle = regularPoly 24
convexPoly :: [R2] -> Image AnySource
A convex polygon given by the list of points.
(%%) :: Affine -> Image a -> Image aSource
Transform an image by an
Affine transformation.
[[tr % im]] = [[im]] . inverse [[tr]]
bezierCurve :: [R2] -> Image AnySource
A Bezier curve given a list of control points. It is a curve
that begins at the first point in the list, ends at the last one,
and smoothly interpolates between the rest. It is the empty
image (
mempty) if zero or one points are given.
Color is defined in the usual computer graphics sense: a 4 vector containing red, green, blue, and alpha.
The Monoid instance is given by alpha composition, described
In the semantcs the values
zero and
one are used, which are defined as:
zero = Color 0 0 0 0 one = Color 1 1 1 1
modulate :: Color -> Color -> ColorSource
Modulate two colors by each other.
modulate (Color r g b a) (Color r' g' b' a') = Color (r*r') (g*g') (b*b') (a*a')
tint :: Color -> Image a -> Image aSource
Tint an image by a color; i.e. modulate the colors of an image by a color.
[[tint c im]] = first (modulate c) . [[im]] where first f (x,y) = (f x, y)
Sprites (images from files)
openSprite :: FilePath -> IO SpriteSource
Load an image from a file and create a sprite out of it.
sprite :: Sprite -> Image AnySource
The image of a sprite at the origin.
[[sprite s]] p | p `elem` [-1,1]^2 = ([[s]] p, Any True) | otherwise = (zero, Any False)
text :: Font -> String -> Image AnySource
The image representing some text rendered with a font. The baseline is at y=0, the text starts at x=0, and the height of a lowercase x is 1 unit.
class Monoid a where
The class of monoids (types with an associative binary operation that has an identity). Instances should satisfy the following laws:
mappend mempty x = x
mappend x mempty = x
mappend x (mappend y z) = mappend (mappend x y) z
mconcat =
foldrmappend mempty
The method names refer to the monoid of lists under concatenation, but there are many other instances.
Minimal complete definition:
mempty and
Some types can be viewed as a monoid in more than one way,
e.g. both addition and multiplication on numbers.
In such cases we often define
newtypes and make those instances
Monoid, e.g.
Sum and
mempty :: a
Identity of
mappend :: a -> a -> a
An associative operation
mconcat :: [a] -> a
Fold a list using the monoid.
For most types, the default definition for
mconcat will be
used, but the function is included in the class definition so
that an optimized version can be provided for specific types.

AA outfield prospect Gorkys Hernandez broke his right ring finger on Wednesday. Word from farm director Kyle Stark (via Rob Biertempfel): "Dislocation. Surgery. (Out) 8-12 weeks." Having recently broken this same finger myself I can empathize greatly with Gorkys and hope he fully recovers. Gorkys' injury is clearly more severe than my own but for comparison, this has been my path to recovery:
My break was non-dislocated and I required no surgery. But the healing has been slow. My fracture was close to the very tip of my finger, under the nail. It was caused by the ball slamming into the end of the finger while attempting to catch it instead of smashing it against a bat. I thought it was just badly jammed. After about a week the swelling went down, which is when I noticed that it no longer pointed the same direction as it had. That was when I decided to see a doctor. The hand specialist I was referred to didn't have an open appointment for a week, so it was two weeks after the initial injury before I got x-rays and was properly diagnosed. I spent the next two weeks in a splint to cushion against any incidental contact. Fortunately I'm not a touch typist. Yesterday was nine weeks since the break. The bone is healed now but the joint is still off-kilter and has some pain when I leverage too much weight against it. The range of motion hasn't returned yet as I am not able to close that finger completely. On my last checkup the doctor said I'll always know that I broke that finger, with some random pain cropping up from time to time. I played some tennis last week which went pretty well, except for one shot that I hit weakly with a loose grip. That shot gave me a spike of pain and I was done. I can't imagine going to a batting cage right now for even some slow pitch. Physical Therapy for the joint starts on Monday and I have another checkup in three weeks.
That's my experience with this. I hope it gave you some insight to what Gorkys will be dealing with over the next two-three months. I'm sure he's receiving better and more directed care. As a professional athlete his only job right now is to heal so he can get back on the field. He's also younger and will probably heal relatively faster though the severity of the injury will mitigate that to some degree.

Coffee With A Cop program percolating in Hollis
A new monthly program in Hollis is all about encouraging camaraderie between citizens and members of their local police force.
Held the first Tuesday of every month in the community room at town hall, the Hollis Police Department's "Coffee With a Cop" is about breaking barriers and building public confidence, one mug at a time.
For 90 minutes each month, residents of all ages can stop in for a complimentary cup of coffee and the chance to freely converse with local cops. There's no word yet on whether or not donuts will be served.
A national initiative supported by the U.S. Justice Department, the Coffee With A Cop program is active in 175 cities and towns spread across 36 states, though only a handful of programs are offered in New Hampshire.
The first Coffee With A Cop programs were launched in California in 2011, after members of the Hawthorne police force began brainstorming ways to more successfully interact with the citizens they served each day.
After inviting the community to stop by for a free cup of Joe at their local McDonald's one morning, the program soon soared in popularity and was even written about in a law enforcement journal.
According to the organization's website, other Coffee With a Cop events are held monthly in Lincoln, Waterville Valley, Durham and Milford.
Hollis Police Lt. Richard Mello, who said he learned about the program from reading a news article about another community that had seen much success with the program, hosted the first coffee meeting in early April.
Concerned that the majority of residents' interactions with law enforcement tend to occur during emergencies or adverse and emotional situations, the local police force, which has about 17 members, recognized the need for building better bridges.
"I couldn't believe how many people showed up that first day," Mello said on Friday. "Around 50 or 60 people walked through that door in an hour and a half."In Waterville Valley, the program continues to grow in popularity since its inception last winter.
Waterville Valley Police Chief David Noyes said the opportunity for citizens to ask questions and address concerns in a non-threatening environment has definitely resonated with the community, noting that, "there are very few opportunities we get to interface with the public."
Mello, a 13-year veteran of the Hollis police force, said he hopes more of his neighbors will become friendly acquaintances.
"I'd say about half of the people who stopped by last month are people I've never seen before," he noted.
The next Coffee With a Cop will take place Tuesday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at Hollis Town Hall, located at 7 Monument Square.

Family Focus: Andrew McRobie
I've been doing so much research these past few weeks, I wasn't even sure how to go about presenting it. First things first, I've found an awesome site that provides vital records for most West Virginian counties. Through this, I've managed to find birth registers, marriage registers, and death certificates (all scanned originals). The site is: http://www.wvculture.org. It's been an amazing wealth of information.
So I've decided to slowly focus on one person and their family at a time. Starting with John William's line, this post will be about his oldest son Andrew.
Andrew McROBIE (John William) was born in 1816 in Maryland. Andrew's mother was John William's first wife. Her name is still unknown. She died sometime before 1823. It is unknown if she had other children after Andrew, although the 7 year gap makes it plausible.
A listing exists in the National Cemetery Administration for an Andrew McCroby who died 27 Nov 1863, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. While it hasn't been confirmed that this is the same Andrew, it is very possible.
Andrew had five children with an unknown wife:
Archibald McROBIE was born 30 Dec 1840 in Maryland.
Daniel McROBIE was born in 1843 in Maryland.
Jane McROBIE was born 10 May 1845 in Maryland.
Isaac Matthew McROBIE was born in 1847 in Maryland.
William McROBIE was born in 1849 in Maryland.
1840 Census
1860 Census (Counted twice)
US Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865 (National Park Service)
National Cemetery Administration, US Veterans Gravesites, 1775-2006
PLEASE NOTE: I have no confirmation that the Andrew buried in Arlington National Cemetery is the same as John William's Andrew. In fact, it does contradict some previous research, but still I feel it shouldn't be ruled out. Andrew does not appear on any censuses after 1860 (including the Veteran's schedules). It is a plausible explanation, albeit, not a confirmed one.
Also, his daughter, Jane, is not found on any census records but is listed in Wilma Sander's McRobie Genealogy and "The Burbach-Poorbaugh-Purbaugh Family in America 1771-1974″ as the daughter of Andrew. So far I have not seen a record, nor talked to anyone, that would contradict these sources.

There are many ways of discovering just how bad the flu is in your area. You and all your friends and co-workers could get sick. You could hear about it on the local news. Or you could check Esri's social-media flu map tracking tweets, YouTube videos, and Flickr photos having to do with Flu Invasion 2013.
The nice part of the Esri map is you can check it from the sterile safety of your own home where you've locked yourself up in a hermetically sealed environment with weeks worth of Spam and Top Ramen to tide you over until flu season subsides.
Click on a state and you'll get a quick overview of the flu activity level. Oklahoma, for example is high. Zoom in an you can check out individual tweets and YouTube videos tagged to specific geographic areas. For example, Trent Falwell in Talequah, Okla., tweets, "Everybody is coming down with the flu." It's not exactly in-depth reporting, but it does give you an idea of where the flu conversation is running high.
Sometimes the best way to take the country's temperature is through its social media. It's good we have this technology in place and are taking it for a test run during flu season. It should come in very handy once the zombie apocalypse begins.

Everyone getting excited about the upcoming season of Hard Knocks: Dallas Cowboys has every right to be. With a colorful cast of characters to choose from like Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones (please), Tony Romo and the mesmerizing handywork of Jerry Jones' plastic surgeon, it'll be entertaining television even for those who don't enjoy HBO's other reality programming.
But there is some bad news for those who hoped that Tony Romo's blue icing-swallowing jinx, Jessica Simpson, would pop up in episodes — it's not going to happen. So says HBO president Ross Greenburg and NFL Films guru Steve Sabol to a roomful of Cowboys' reporters:
This is not the E Television Network," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said with a somewhat straight face. "This is HBO and HBO Sports. We're doing it for the avid football fan that used to watch Inside the NFL."
NFL Films president Steve Sabol said Jess wouldn't be a major part of the show "unless she's out there running 7-on-7 drills."
Yes, you got that? The show is not called "Hard Knockers" for a reason, you tabloid trash-digesting philistines.

most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
In this episode of Investor Insight, landscape designer and contractor Jeff Sarty -- from HGTV`s Decked Out -- highlights the quick and painless ways you can build equity through sweat equity.
Join Sarty and more than 20 other investment experts for the upcoming Investor Forum Toronto. Space is filling up quickly. To reserve your spot, please visit www.toronto.theinvestorforum.ca
Video transcript below:
Jemima Codrington: How can investors entice top notch tenants, showing your land a little love goes a long way. Home and Garden, Television host and speaker at this year's Investor Forum Toronto, Jeff Sarty shares his tips for cost effective curb appeal.
Jeff Sarty, Home and Garden Television Host
How can Landlords increase curb appeal?
Jeff Sarty: A landlord can increase their curb appeal by ¬ making sure that everything is neat and tidy. The first impression that a renter will see is like based on that big impact. So making sure your garden beds are nice and edged, have nice clean line, there is some nice fresh mulch in the gardens, make sure that all the plants are still alive and not dead and weeds and stuff everywhere. So it's really making sure that everything is looking as good as it can. Make sure there isn't any big dead shrubs and just kind of trimming everything back so it will have that nice tidy look to it.
What can we expect from your session at the Toronto Investor Forum?
Jeff Sarty: During my session at the Toronto Investor Forum, investors can expect to see me going over the dos and don'ts of landscaping, where they are going to get the most bang for their bucks and really great DIY tips as well as just doing an overview kind of really basic landscape design workshop I guess.
To be really be able to plan out different features in their own landscape while saving some money in the meantime, while still giving new tenants that nice well factor they want, but I will also be there to answer as many questions as people want.

Deposit guarantee scheme is a financial stability mechanism implemented in many countries to protect bank depositors against the loss of their deposits in the case when a bank is unable to meet its obligations to depositors by compensating certain deposits held by depositors of the bank. This compensation is paid out from the contributions which banks have made into a deposit guarantee fund.
All credit institutions operating in Germany are obliged to participate in German deposit guarantee scheme.

Back in 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared the month of July as National Ice Cream Month. He had also named the third Sunday in July to be National Ice Cream Day. (This year, it falls on Sunday, July 15.) In the proclamation he signed on July 9, 1984, he wrote: "I call upon the people of the United States to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities." Presumably, he had meant for Americans to go out and eat ice cream… but because we're a library, we'll celebrate by highlighting several books on the topic!
- Global Ice Cream
- Ice Cream Reporter
- United States Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Manufacturing Industry Report
- Worldwide Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Manufacturing Industry Report
- Hands on History: Ice Cream History (video from History Channel)
- Hands on History: Making Ice Cream (video from History Channel)
- Ice Cream (University of Guelph, Dairy Science and Technology series)
…Of course, you're free to celebrate in the traditional way: by indulging in some ice cream! Just please refrain from bringing the frozen dessert into the library (…unless you're treating the librarians!).
If you're having difficulties accessing the periodicals or e-books, check out the library's instructions on accessing electronic resources from home. If you're still having trouble, don't hesitate to ask a librarian!
