Because one of the themes today over at GeneaBloggers is Tombstone Tuesday and I've mentioned a couple of times that my great-great grandmother was an Aumiller (Maria Aumiller), I thought I'd post a gravestone I located in Calvary.
Now I haven't connected any dots with any Aumillers that I've located in Toledo to my family yet. But the proof that I'm related to Aumillers comes from baptismal records of two of Eva Dauer's and Joseph Plenzler's children–Bob and Mary. In their baptismal records from St. Anthony's parish of Toledo, the grandparents are noted as well as as the parents. In Bob's baptismal record, it appears as if the name were recorded in German: Ömiller. But in Mary's baptismal record, it is recorded as Aumiller.
I haven't really pursued any Aumiller connections yet; but when I do photo Calvary, I will take photos of graves with names that sound familiar to me. So while going through the photos for today's theme, I noticed I took a picture of a grave of someone named Maryanna Aumiller.
I had done some initial investigation with Maryanna, but nothing leads me to link her to Eva. However, I did locate a 1900 census record that reflects Maryanna, her husband George, and family living at 1555 Avondale in the Kuschwantz neighborhood. Joe and Eva Plenzler were living at 1544 Avondale. They most certainly knew each other–they were neighbors and many Catholic families on that street attended St. Anthony's parish.
Maryanna and George had nine children per the 1900 census:
- Anthony (age 18)
- Agnes (age 16)
- Kate (age 14)
- Wiktorya (Victoria) (age 12)
- Anna (age 11)
- Joseph (age 11)
- Stanislawa (age 9)
- Ignace (age 7)
- Konstancya (age 5)
I have also obtained Maryanna's death certificate, church burial/death record through St. Anthony's parish and burial record through Calvary. What is unusual about this is when comparing these records with the gravestone, it's obvious that someone guesstimated her birth year. Her grave stone states she was born in 1856, which would have made Maryanna 62 years old at the time of death. However, her death certificate states her birthdate is unknown. Her burial record from Calvary Cemetery, is transcribed below, provides the grave location:
No.: 20200
Name of Deceased: Mary Aumiller
Place of Nativity:
Late Residence: 1217 Lucas
Age: 59
Color: W
Sex: F
Disease: Heart Disease
Date of Decease: Oct. 31
Date of Interment: Nov. 2
Married, Single, or Widowed: M
Place of Death: Toledo
No. of Grave: 425
No. of Lot: 4
No. of Section: 30
Name of Physician: Watts
Name of Undertaker: W. J. Sujkowski
Name of Parents or Kindred:
Maybe this will provide a start to making links with Aumillers. Maryanna would be linked to Eva through her husband. If anyone has any information on this family, leave a comment here or drop me an email. I'll follow up.

Coverage of tonight's Cards and Cubs game can be heard on Newstalk 97.3 WTIM beginning at 6:35pm.
Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Allen Craig and Yadier Molina posted a pair of hits to go with an RBI and run scored and the St. Louis Cardinals hung on to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, in the finale of a three-game set. Trailing by two runs going into the ninth, Pittsburgh got a run back when Neil Walker hit a double and Andrew McCutchen singled to plate him and make it 6-5. The Pirates later loaded the bases with none away, but Trevor Rosenthal got Ike Davis to pop out into foul territory and Jordy Mercer to roll into a 1-2-3 double play to end the game and give Rosenthal his 10th save of the season. "That was beyond impressive what Trevor was able to do there at the end to get it back together. That's why he is pitching at the end of games," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Rosenthal. Shelby Miller (5-2) allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings for the Cardinals, who avoided being swept. Mercer smacked a two-run homer and a double for Pittsburgh, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Charlie Morton (0-5) gave up four runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and one walk over six innings in defeat. The Cardinals raced out to a comfortable lead following a four-run first, but Pedro Alvarez's two-out RBI single in the seventh trimmed the Pittsburgh deficit to 4-3. St. Louis answered and tacked on a pair in the eighth to increase its advantage to 6-3. Matt Adams and Jon Jay posted one-out singles before Mark Ellis struck out. Peter Bourjos then slapped a base hit into right to bring home Adams, and Jay scored on a Bryan Morris wild pitch. Davis singled and Mercer doubled to start the home half before Davis scored on Tony Sanchez's RBI groundout, which cut the margin to 6-4. Earlier, Craig, Molina and Ellis tallied RBI singles in the opening frame, with Adams' sacrifice fly accounting for the other run in the four-run inning. Mercer smacked a two-run shot into left in the fourth to trim the gap in half, 4-2. "I just tried to get back out there and put up zeroes after that first inning," Morton said. Game Notes The Cardinals were 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position, while Pittsburgh finished 2-for-11 with RISP and left 11 men on base ... Mercer's homer was his first of the year.

Photo Flash: First Look at Sophie-Louise Dann and More in Jermyn Street Theatre's GAY'S THE WORD
When the semi-staged production of Ivor Novello's final musical Gay's The Word played at Finborough Theatre last January it became one of their fastest sell-outs ever. Now the same team are bringing the fully realised professional production back to the London stage for the first time since 1951.
Opening the newly refurbished Jermyn Street Theatre in February 2013, the production continues and extends this small and intimate theatre's burgeoning reputation for attracting the very best British stage talent in order to rediscover and stage rarely produced works by major writers.
Novello sends up his famous Ruritanian extravagances in this backstage musical comedy. Former stage star Gay Daventry opens a drama school and finds that what is needed to get her back on top is, in the title of the show's hit song, Vitality! Other numbers include If Only He'd Looked My Way (later recorded by Frank Sinatra), Bees Are Buzzin' and On Such A Night As This, all combining Novello's melodic talent with Alan Melville's sharp wit.
The twenty strong cast includes Sophie-Louise Dann in the title role of Gay. Recently Olivier-nominated for her West End triumph in Lend Me a Tenor, she goes straight from this production to star in the Paris premiere of Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George.
She is joined by multi-award-nominee Helena Blackman (BBC's How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?) and fast-rising Josh Little (Dreamboats and Petticoats, Footloose), alongside the first London appearance in many years of Elizabeth Seal, who won the Tony Award for Irma La Douce, and whose career began in the original production of Gay's the Word.
Welsh-born composer, author and actor Ivor Novello (1893-1951) was one of the most eminent British entertainers of the last century. His West End musicals included Glamorous Night, The Dancing Years and King's Rhapsody. As an actor, he was Britain's first major male film star, appearing in over 20 silent features including Alfred Hitchcock's classic The Lodger.
This marks the first full London run of a Novello musical in over forty years. Other productions in the Spring season are Graham Greene's The Living Room, directed by Tom Littler, and On Approval by Frederick Lonsdale, which will be directed by Jermyn Street Theatre's incoming Artistic Director Anthony Biggs.Playing 7 February - 2 March 2013 at the Jermyn Street Theatre, Gay's The Word has a press night slated for Friday 8 February 7.30pm.Photo Credit: Roy Tan

Cable sleeving tools are needed to execute the sleeving process.
What are cable sleeving tools used for?
Cable sleeving refers to the additional protection measure added to wires in the form of an outer layer to prevent them from coming into contact with each other, which causes short circuits. Cable sleeves also offer protection against extreme temperatures or liquid spillage, which may cause damage to wires.
Types of cable sleeving tools
Cable sleeving tools include various trimmers, cutters, mesh material loops, plastic cable coatings, pins and pliers:
- Wire loom assists are most common in home and office environments. The cable sleeving tools required include wire loom tubing and flame retardant materials.
- Conduit sleeving tools are suitable for larger application wire management where optical-electrical and communication cables need to be routed underground or outside.
- Braided sleeving tools are used to bundle multiple cables and wires, where the sleeve materials can be made of metal, fibreglass, plastic, Teflon or nylon.
- Spiral wrapping tools are inserted to control where the wire enters or exits the wrap. The tools used are minimal as the wires are slipped easily between the wrap's coils.

San Francisco police today released a video of suspects believed to be responsible for the arson of a Municipal Railway bus after the Giants' World Series victory on Sunday and are asking for the public's help in identifying them.
The 8X-Bayshore Express Muni bus was torched and vandalized at about 12:30 a.m. Monday at Market and Third streets.
The video, recorded by a witness, appears to show two suspects lighting the bus on fire after it had stopped on Market Street. Eight passengers and the driver had been on board the bus but got out before the vandalism started.
Gregory Tyler Graniss, 22, was arrested Tuesday after a San Francisco Chronicle photo showed a man smashing the windshield of the Muni bus with part of a barricade.
Social media helped spread the photo and led to tips identifying Graniss as the suspect. He was arrested at his home and has since confessed to the vandalism, police Chief Greg Suhr said at a news conference today.
Suhr said he hopes the same help from social media will lead to the identification of the two suspects who burned the bus.
"We will seek them and we will arrest them," he said. "There's no place for this in any city, let alone San Francisco."
Suhr said it was unclear from the video what the suspects used to light the bus on fire.
"We're hopeful they'll tell us when they're wearing handcuffs," he said.

Kim Kardashian is "officially a soccer mom!"
The E! reality star took to Twitter to share photos of North West playing on a field earlier today with her dad Kanye West, and the proud mama couldn't hold back her excitement.
"My little goalie," Kim, who is currently pregnant with her second child, gushed on social media. "Last pic of my baller baby! She's doing so good I'm just so proud!"
Little Nori is seen kicking the ball around with her father wearing an all-black outfit that was sure to have gotten a stamp of approval from her fashionista parents.
The world's most talked about couple recently celebrated their daughter's second birthday at Disneyland with several members of their family, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
E! News previously reported that the large group began the day exploring the theme park and stopped for a special lunch in Nori's honor complete with cake and balloons.
The birthday girl was seen being carried by her mama and wearing Minnie Mouse ears (and a huge smile) all throughout her big bash.
Aunt Kourtney Kardashian attended with her little ones and also took to Instagram to share, "She's two! Happy birthday to my first little angel niece Nori!!!"
Go, North, go!

|Proud of myself for finally ditching the winter wreath and hauling off the poor dead fern! LOL!!
The word calls to mind turquoise swimming pools and sunshine glinting like diamonds on oceans lapping sandy shores. Summer makes me think of picnics and ice cream and watermelon. Planting flowers and reading on the shady front porch.
Um, yeah--if you're at Casa Altom, now's the time to make that annoying scratchy record sound, because so far, our summer has super sucked.
After more kid angst than even I could ever imagine--and that's saying somethin'--we've now moved on to a new window leak, hose spigot leak, fleas, and one or two ants in random places. Our nearly sixteen-year-old dog Sweet Pea just had tooth surgery and yesterday, all three kids managed to squelch any attempt at writing with minor medical emergencies that began at 7:40 AM with a trek to the dermatologist, then to the dentist, then the urgent care center for an issue EVERYONE knows to never call me for . . . I'm turning green just thinking of it!! LOL!!
Knock on wood, but thankfully, everyone's healthy again and today has been selfishly, wonderfully all mine!!! It may not be very summer-like, but I've written a few pages, gabbed on the phone with my bestie, watched an episode of Lost, and even manged to cheat on my diet.
Great times, right? My fingers are crossed that any day now, even more summer fun will hit me like a truckload of yummy s'mores!!
How about you? Got anything awesome planned for June, July or August?

10 Struggles All Petite Girls Can Relate To
It's not exactly a walk in the park being a short girl. In fact, it can definitely be intimidating having pretty much everyone else tower over you. We've rounded up some everyday struggles we relatively petite girl's face.
- That awkward moment when you can't see anything during a movie because of the tall guy in front of you.
- Trying to grab something off the top shelf at a store, library, supermarket—anywhere—is always a struggle.
- You've tiptoed once or twice in photos (and by once or twice we mean maybe a couple of hundred times.)
- You've spent a little too much money getting your clothes (especially pants!) tailored.
- You're forced to shop in the petite section. Every. Single. Time.
- People have assumed you're a lot younger than you actually are.
- Shirts become dresses, crop tops become normal tops and maxi skirts become maxi dresses!
- Heels are your best friend.
- Your feet rarely ever touch the ground whenever you sit on a chair.
- You look up to people (literally).
What other short girl problems do you have?

Here we are — with rough hands entwined, damned hearts at peace, broken souls resting with ease —savoring each passing moment before we part ways...hoping things will turn out to be okay. Here we are — standing still, keeping our earnest desire and ardent passion for each other at bay — hoping the Universe will finally grant us of the day that we no longer have to pretend... that things will no longer have to end.
Here we are — with crooked smiles, lingering touch that will last for a while -- gathering all the remaining courage to set each other free. Wishing for the day that our hearts will no longer have to worry. Here we are letting each other go. Even though we both know that the future is uncertain. Even though we're unsure if our paths will cross once again.

To the Person Who Does Not Know Any 1D Song
By: CJ Reyno
Never in my wildest dream I imagined to meet someone who does not know a single One Direction song or who does not even know, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and err… Zayn Malik. How did you spend your teenagehood without listening to their songs? The disrespect to my #StyPayHorLikSon. My initial reaction, Vas Happenin'?
Since I was 12 years old, that was way back on 2012, One Direction songs have been my official life soundtrip, my go-to songs whenever I feel happy, sad, mad, excited, and etch. I can still remember how people went crazy just to attend their concert here in the Philippines. I must admit, I was one of those. LOL. The group was also dubbed as, "The Biggest Boyband in the World". They were an era. You really left me in awe when you told me that you do not know a single One Direction song. Their songs are gold. But I was a little hopeful when a new messaged popped up on our conversation, "Hey I know one, Make You Beautiful".
You do not know how my world collapsed after reading your message. I would like to say that I appreciate the effort, thanks, but they do not have a song entitled, Make You Beautiful, because it is, What Makes You Beautiful. I tried to explain but you said that they are just the same. (Tip: Never fight with a Directioner when it comes to this because we will not let our guards down). No! They are not the same. How can you make this big mistake? LOL. What Makes You Beautiful is One Direction's debut song. Almost everyone knows this, "you're insecure, don't know what for," ring a bell? The music video of this surpassed 1 billion views on Youtube. On my 21 years of existence, you are the very first person who told me this "I-Thought-It-Was-A-Joke-But-You-Are-Serious" statement.
As a persuasive fangirl, I thought to myself that I should make you appreciate their music, that you should know that it is What Makes You Beautiful, not Make You Beautiful. The group may be in hiatus but their music is and will always remain superior. You are hard-headed lad. We even when to the point where you challenged me to treat so I can make you watch their music video. Am I even surprised that I agreed to this? HAHA. I feel like an agent trying to persuade her customer to buy a property on our company. You do not know how happy I was when you sent me your video listening to What Makes You Beautiful. I felt like I successfully closed a deal with my client. Not to exaggerate but I really jumped because of happiness after watching your video. It was the first message I checked that morning. Thank you for your effort, so much appreciated. Funny how our conversation starts with your innocence on One Direction until it goes deeper and last longer. Up All Nigh conversations which turned to almost Midnight Memories. Ironic how a Directioner had developed an admiration on someone who dislikes her favorite boys? Just like One Direction's song, Change My Mind, "Never felt like this before. Are we friends or are we more?" I guess, like Liam's line on Love You Goodbye, "It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end. It's impossible to know if after this we can still be friends."
I was happy that I made you listen to One Direction. At least I made you appreciate and made you aware that there is a song called, What Makes You Beautiful, not Make You Beautiful. I am happy that you already found your Girl Almighty. Wish me luck on finding my Summer Love. xoxo, Your Directioner friend

It's come to this for Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry: the former couple, who appeared to separate so peacefully final year, will shortly conduct to justice to arrange out a control agreement over daughter Nahla.
Indications of a green attribute kicked off in late December, when Aubry asked a decider to legally acknowledgement him the two-year old's father.
About a week ago, meanwhile, sources suggested which the Canadian indication was legitimately disturbed which Berry would repudiate him entrance to their child. The insider cited Halle's fury over Aubry's many new flings as a basement for this concern.
Now, Berry has forsaken out of the movie New Year's Eve, as she prepares for a prolonged conflict in justice with her past lover. Says her rep:
"She has attempted to finalise these control issues amicably with her daughter's father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but since his miss of cooperation, Halle has no preference but to find quick legal intervention."
It's misleading what options have been on the list – common custody? full custody? – but this repute creates it receptive to advice similar to Berry has small goal of vouchsafing Aubry get remotely tighten to Nahla.
"Halle has critical concerns for her daughter's contentment whilst in the caring of her father for any lengthened duration of time and is rebuilt to take all required stairs to strengthen her," he says.

Modern Real Estate: Preservation Alert

Thanks to Maya of VisuaLingual for tipping me off to this fantastic house that is a total steal. I grew up very close to this house, and my good pal Jennifer Jowaisas lived right down the street. I had never seen it before. It was the personal home of modern early modern architect Ray Roush, and it's in Anderson Township, Ohio (a Cincinnati burb, about 10-15 minutes from downtown). Roush served as a mentor to Michael Graves, who later wrote the forward to a book about Roush and his colleague, Carl Strauss.
This house seems to have gone into foreclosure and is on the market for $135,000. The original realtor, Susan Rissover, would love to see it preserved so much that even though it is no longer her listing, she is making people aware of it on her website. It is a wonderful modern preservation opportunity. While Susan took these pictures in 2007, she went back to check out the property a few months ago and discovered that it had been vandalized, which makes us both sick to our stomachs. While it wasn't anything that sounded terribly expensive to fix, original fixtures were stolen or damaged. To learn more, check out cincinnatimodern.com. Oh, and P.S. Susan lists the pros and cons of the house, and from spending a lot of time in the area as a kid, I can tell you there are big scary snakes on all around Five Mile Road. I don't know if any of them were poisonous, but they are big, and they made me avoid going outside at Jennifer's house as much as possible.

The TP is a manually operated bench top pelletizing press used to produce pressed powder sample tablets for XRF or XRD analysis. The machine can be used in conjunction with steel rings, aluminium cups or free pressing.
The head unit swings away allowing the operator access to the mould chamber where the sample is added. The pressure is applied by moving the handle up and down. The hydraulic action is smooth and has a double stroke system to ensure quick ram travel and achieves maximum pressure in only a few strokes.

Last April, Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz said that the word holdout wasn't in his vocabulary and that he didn't even know what the word meant.
Perhaps that explains his response to a question from the New York Daily News about whether or not he'd consider a holdout in the extremely likely event the Giants placed a restricted free agent tender on him this offseason.
"I have no answer to that," Cruz said.
It seems more likely that Cruz knows the word and didn't answer because he didn't want to return fire after owner John Mara said that Cruz was asking for too much money as part of the long-term extension that Cruz is seeking. It would be silly to think that it isn't something Cruz is considering with the offseason approaching and Mara making the Giants' position very clear.
It's the only leverage Cruz has at the moment, although, as we learned with Mike Wallace last year, it's not the most overwhelming leverage of the year. Cruz could sit out an entire season, but he wouldn't accrue the year he needs to become an unrestricted free agent in 2014.
As we said when writing about Mara's comment, it's far too early to read much of anything into the posturing on both sides. There's plenty of time to work out a deal, even if Cruz might have reason to feel antsier than he did earlier in the week.

GIMME SHELTER- Fall gardening: Take time to tend the soil
Q: What can I do to help my lawn throughout the fall and winter? What kinds of plants, shrubs, and trees can I still plant with successful results in the spring? Are there any do's and don't's for pruning my flowers?
A: If you love being outdoors and tending your garden, fall is the ideal season to make some simple adjustments to your lawn care that can have long-lasting effects. Because the climate in Virginia is so mild, the soil stays warm even as the air cools, allowing root systems to flourish all winter long.
Fall is a good time to aerate your lawn. Aerating involves removing small soil plugs from the lawn. After a long spring and summer of heavy use, the soil under a lawn can become compacted, making it difficult for grass roots to absorb the oxygen, nutrients, and water they need. Aeration also allows grass to root better, which can ensure a more healthy lawn next season. You can rent a little walk-behind aerator about the size of a lawnmower or hire a professional.
After aeration, fall is the best time to over-seed a lawn. But do it relatively soon, no later than mid-October. After planting seed, fertilizing and plenty of watering (especially since we haven't had a lot of natural rain) are required to maintain the moisture needed for steady growth through the winter.
Because soil in this part of Virginia is acidic, it's important to raise the pH closer to neutral. That sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple: adding lime to a lawn helps maintain the pH balance and guarantees healthy soil for optimal growth.
Almost any tree can be planted in the fall. Dogwoods are a great choice, but just about anything can be added to the landscape. As for flowers, mums and pansies have always been a popular choice, along with perennials.
Pruning tends to get tricky as people either forget to prune immediately following flowering, or prune too early. Normally, flowering shrubs like to be pruned as soon as the flowering is done. For example, if your lilacs bloomed in May, you should prune them in June. By fall, it's too late.
I recommend that rose bushes not be pruned. You want them long for winter because the canes store a lot of energy. Wait until winter ends, around the first of March, to prune them to about 12 inches, the optimal length for rose canes.
Another error that overzealous gardeners make is trimming evergreens in the fall. Pruning a plant like an upright evergreen in the fall destroys the berries that wintering birds depend on. So try to resist becoming the next Edward Scissorhands.

"Sustainability lies at the heart of our business. Lonsum is driving to become an acknowledged world leader in the movement towards true sustainability in the oil palm and rubber plantation industries"
The origin of PT Perusahaan Perkebunan London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk goes back over more than a century to 1906 with the initiatives of the London-based Harrisons & Crossfield Plc, as a general trading and plantation management services firm. The London-Sumatra plantations, which later came to be known as "Lonsum", evolved over time to become one of the world's renowned plantation companies, with almost 100,000 hectares of planted oil palm, rubber, tea and cocoa plantations spread across Indonesia's four largest islands.
Having diversified into rubber, tea and cocoa in its early years, Lonsum concentrated on rubber throughout Indonesia's formative years as an independent nation, and commenced oil palm production in the 1980s. By the end of the following decade, oil palm had replaced rubber as the Company's primary commodity.
Lonsum's 38 inti estates (Company owned) and 14 plasma estates (smallholder farmer), which are currently operational in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, make use of advanced research and development as well as agro-management expertise and a highly skilled and an experienced workforce. The scope of the business has broadened to include plant breeding, planting, harvesting, milling, processing and the selling of palm products, rubber, cocoa and tea. The Company now has 20 factories which are operational in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. Lonsum is known in the industry for the quality of its oil palm an cocoa seeds, and this high-tech business is now a major growth driver for the Company.
In 1994, Harrisons & Crossfield sold its entire interest in Lonsum to PT Pan London Sumatra Plantation (PPLS), which took Lonsum public by listing its shares on the Jakarta and Surabaya stock exchanges in 1996. In October 2007, Indofood Agri Resources Ltd, the plantation arm of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk, became the Company's majority shareholder through its Indonesian subsidiary, PT Salim Ivomas Pratama.

Reports: A-Rod suspension may be severe
MLB reportedly informs union which players face penalties
TAMPA, Fla. -- It's become increasingly difficult to predict what will happen next in the daily drama surrounding Alex Rodriguez. But according to an Associated Press report, A-Rod and other players involved with the Biogenesis investigation could learn their fates soon.
The AP reported that MLB informed the Players Association which players it plans to suspend and is working to reach agreements on penalties to avoid potential grievances. The talks with players could delay an announcement until Friday.
Rodriguez finished up his rehab assignment with complaints of a strained left quadriceps, only to say days later that he was ready to play. He sent Dr. Michael Gross on an impromptu media tour to challenge the Yankees' diagnosis, then Gross admitted he's never even met A-Rod. Rodriguez released a statement Thursday saying he didn't want "any more mix-ups" with the Yankees, then called into WFAN radio in New York and said four times that he was "frustrated" with being held back.
Rodriguez has been working out at the Yankees' Minor League complex, hoping to return from his quad injury and get back on the field as soon as possible. Aside from his occasional statements released through a publicist and a few radio interviews, A-Rod has remained silent.
But two things have become exceedingly clear, based on several reports published over the past few days: He soon will be disciplined by Major League Baseball, and the punishment will be severe.
Suspensions are expected to be issued later this week, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman, who also noted that MLB would prefer to punish everyone involved with the Biogenesis clinic at once. The Associated Press reported Monday that Commissioner Bud Selig would consider sidestepping the Joint Drug Agreement entirely to serve Rodriguez with a lifetime ban.
Selig would have to invoke Article XII (B) of the Basic Agreement, which states that "players may be disciplined for just cause for conduct that is materially detrimental or materially prejudicial to the best interests of baseball including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law." In that case, Rodriguez would begin serving a suspension immediately rather than have it delayed during the appeals process.
If MLB acts according to its drug policy rather than the CBA, Rodriguez will either be served with a suspension or forced to reach an agreement for a lesser sentence. But Rodriguez's lawyer, David Cornwell, left no doubt Monday afternoon in a radio interview with ESPN New York 98.7 FM: They're not going to negotiate an agreement, and they're going to appeal any sort of suspension.
"All I can tell you is my job is to represent Alex in connection with this inquiry by baseball and to prepare an appeal on behalf of Alex in the event that any discipline is handed down," Cornwell said in an interview with Stephen A. Smith.
"When the time comes, and we haven't gotten there yet, when the time comes and baseball does whatever it is going to do, then I will sit down with Alex and talk to him about the process of the appeal, filing the appeal and going in and presenting our best evidence that we have -- and we think we have good evidence -- to defend his interest, to protect him. That's what I expect to be doing."
The New York Post first reported Sunday that Rodriguez could be suspended this week as part of baseball's investigation into the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic, a South Florida operation run by Anthony Bosch, who has cooperated with MLB investigators. Last week, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension -- the remainder of the season and postseason -- for his reported involvement with Bosch and Biogenesis.
Cornwell told ESPN New York he wouldn't consider that a victory for Rodriguez. Asked by Smith what he would consider a "win" in this case, Cornwell said, "No discipline. ... Obviously. That's easy."
According to the Post, MLB could suspend Rodriguez for the rest of this year and the entirety of the 2014 season. Under baseball's Basic Agreement, first-time offenders who test positive for performing-enhancing drugs are suspended 50 games for a positive test. A second positive test earns a 100-game ban and a third violation results in a lifetime ban.
The New York Daily News reported that MLB officials believe their evidence against Rodriguez "would warrant lifetime banishment." There has been talk that Braun's quick agreement strengthens Bosch's credibility as it relates to MLB's case against A-Rod, an idea that Cornwell addressed Monday.
"Obviously, they believe that he's credible. I have my concerns," said Cornwell, who previously represented Braun, the only Major League player to have a positive drug test overturned. "But what's most important is whether or not arbitrator [Fredric] Horowitz will believe that he's credible. That's something that we will present in the hearing room, not to the media."
Before a suspension is publicly issued, Rodriguez could choose to discuss a plea agreement with MLB, as Braun did. However, Rodriguez told WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday that his representatives hadn't had those discussions.
According to the Post, Rodriguez's team "met with MLB officials in the past few days," but not to discuss a settlement. Instead, A-Rod's representatives were just trying to "gain a better understanding of potential penalties."
If MLB is seeking a potential lifetime suspension for Rodriguez, who admitted in 2009 that he took performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Rangers from 2001-03, then a settlement could result in him sitting out until 2015 without pay, according to the Daily News.
In that scenario, Rodriguez's suspension would be effective immediately. If the 38-year-old third baseman -- fifth on the all-time list with 647 career home runs -- is able to play after two major hip surgeries and two full years out of the game, it would also give him a chance to collect the $61 million the Yankees owe him from 2015-17, the remnants of the 10-year, $275 million deal he signed with New York in '07.
For now, it's uncertain when Rodriguez will get back on the field in a Major League game, if he will at all. But if the reports are true, the next chapter in A-Rod's story should be unfolding soon.
"I can't tell you what he's thinking about or what he says as it relates to the investigation, but I can tell you that in my discussions with him, generally, Alex's primary focus right now is playing baseball," Cornwell said. "That's what Alex's primary focus is right now. We'll have a chance to deal with these other issues as they arrive and as they unfold. ... When that time comes, we will. But until then ... the only thing Alex is focused on right now is trying to get back and play baseball."

Hello all, I'm new here.
I currently writing project in java for graduation.
It's trivia game. some clients connect to server and play with each other.
The program use RMIfor communication, and also client and server extends Remote to allow calling method from remote.
I thinking how it will be more appropriate to call method in the server to the client.
Each time the server try to call the client, and get RemoteException I assume that the client is no longer connect, and therefore call private method to remote his information from the server.
that way it's create many returning code: each time it's:
catch(RemoteException e){
so I thought to create private method - callRemoteMethodInClient - and each time the server want to call the client he call this method with the client method name.
and in the private method a runs if-else-if to determine witch method to call.
in the second way the code is shorter, and maybe little cleaner. but I don't sure if it's correct from the way of good programming.
appreciate for advices

Public Comment
Opposing Zoning Ordinance Changes Regarding Demolishing Libraries
This is a letter Library Users Association sent to the Planning Commission expressing concern about the Berkeley Public Library's product and process for carrying out branch library renovations under Measure FF and the consequent concerns about granting the Library special exemptions from the customary scrutiny that its current and future building projects would undergo:
Honorable Members:
As supporters of good libraries and good library service, we respectfully oppose granting the above-referenced zoning changes as a kind of partial zoning blank check for current and as yet unspecified future "improvement projects," as your public notice refers to them, by the Berkeley Public Library, and we ask you not to approve the amendments at your May 26, 2010 meeting or at any other meeting.
Our primary reasons are twofold:
1.There is at least serious question as to whether the Library is doing the right thing with its planned renovations, and instead degrading and dumbing down libraries through a book de-emphasis program that appears to be well along in the planning stages.Despite a small increase in floor space, Claremont Branch is to receive a 23% decrease in linear feet of shelving.West Branch is to receive 50% more floor space, but only a 3% increase in shelving.
2.The Library has misrepresented its plans and misled the public with respect to the facts about its plans.As a consequence, the Library needs far greater scrutiny for its actions, rather than another opportunity to evade accountability.
Some may argue that surely the Library has in the past fully reported, and would in future fully describe, its plans in public – but my personal experience at last week's meeting of the Board of Library Trustees (BOLT) says otherwise.
The architect's presentation on West Branch plans at the May 12, 2010 BOLT meeting showed a new building – and a small portion of one chart showed a 50% increase in floor space but only a 3% increase in linear feet of shelving for books and materials.These percentages, which represent a de-emphasis on books, were nowhere shown or mentioned in the agenda packet for the meeting, which included a memo to the Trustees from Director of Library Services Donna Corbeil, plus three attachments:a 4-22-10 Community Meeting announcement, meeting notes from the meeting, and eight pages of the architect's "Design Schemes" and "Schematic Designs."Neither the meeting announcement nor the notes, which included summaries what the architects said, made any mention of specific shelving statistics.(The notes said there were "7 non-library attendees, over ½ were first time attendees.")
In the meeting room was a glossy, color booklet apparently prepared by the library, titled "Shaping the Future of Your Neighborhood Library; the Berkeley Public Library Branch Libraries Facilities Master Plan" (SFYNL), which purported to present a "summary of the Facilities Master Plan and the promise it brings for our branch libraries."Neither the planned demolition of the West branch nor the book de-emphasis were even hinted at in the Library's booklet.Instead the booklet boasted that the branch "In May of 2003, was designated by the City Landmarks Commission as a 'Structure of Merit.'"A second page says, "The recommended RENOVATIONS will add much-needed space." (Emphasis added.)
The May 12, 2010 BOLT meeting continued with a different architect's presentation on Claremont Branch renovations.No statistics were presented about such basic aspects of the renovation as floor space increases/decreases, shelving, etc.Only after two members of the public complained about a floor space reduction for children, and book reductions generally, did the library director acknowledge that some details could be found in the agenda packet.A page on "Existing Vs. Proposed Conditions" revealed adult book shelving is to be cut by 27%, and overall shelving reducted 23%.The Library's booklet, SFYNL, says nothing about Claremont's shelving reductions – instead, it says, "The branch boasts a large collection...." and it promises "a more efficient interior layout."
We note that the library's plan to cut 913 linear feet of shelving from Claremont's current listed total of 4,027 was buried in a quarter-inch thick agenda packet, and is equal to eliminating more than 60 bookcases, each one three feet wide and five shelves high.
The Berkeley Public Library Foundation's full-size color fundraising brochure, copies of which were also on the table at the meeting, is also misleading.The title is, "Four Branches, One Goal; the Neighborhood Libraries Campaign."It makes no mention of the planned book reductions at Claremont Branch and the book de-emphasis in West Branch, although it does reference "replacement of the current [West Branch] building with a brand new building."For Claremont Branch, the brochure specifically praises written materials as follows:"Claremont's collection – strong in travel, art, bestsellers, literary fiction, magazines, and newspapers – will be more accessible with the help of this [fund-raising] Campaign."And on the opposite page, the brochure highlights in large type, "Last year, neighborhood library users checked out 875,000 items – books, DVDs, other media, and more." (Emphasis in the original.)But nothing is said about Claremont's many planned reductions in specific categories of shelving:42 linear feet cut from Children's Books, and 30 feet cut from Children's A/V; Teen Books + A/V are to be cut by 105 linear feet.Adult Books are to be cut by 607 linear feet (from 2264, a 27% reduction).Adult Magazines are to be cut by 80 feet, Adult A/V cut by 172 feet (of an existing 252 – a 68% reduction).Lighter reading gets increased shelf space:Children's Magazines, and Teen Magazines are increasing by 12 and 36 linear feet, respectively.The only other increase in shelving is +75 feet for holds, up from zero – these are materials obtained from other branches or library systems when not available at the branch.
The May 12, 2010 BOLT agenda packet included notes of a March 31, 2010 community meeting on Claremont Branch's Design Development.The notes show "16 non-library audience members" attended.Of 15 comments, both that were related to shelving and books commented negatively on the book and shelving reductions.The two pages of notes do not say what, if anything, the public was shown or told about the reductions.
While we have not yet reviewed renovation plans for the other two branches, we are very concerned that the product of at least these two library renovations appears to be a dumbing down of the service, while the Library's practices both un-inform and mis-inform the public.We therefore ask you not to allow less accountability than is currently required.We urge rejection of the proposed zoning amendments to Title 23 of the Berkeley Municipal Code for "Development Flexibility for Existing Public Libraries."
Library Users Association thanks you for your efforts on this matter.
Peter Warfield is Executive Director of the Library Users Association.

Tama County
I would like an opportunity to respond to last week's article on the front page of all Tama County newspapers titled 'Supervisors hear pros and cons of economic development budget'. I appreciate the news media for taking the time to be at the budget meeting and report on the presentation, although I am curisous as to why out of 20 department budget meetings this is the only detailed report.
I would like to clarify some of the facts that were presented and expand on them in hope that you, the taxpayer, further understand the role and services that have been provided by Tama County Economic Development.
First of all, TCED is made up of and run by appointed representatives of all 12 cities in Tama County, the Mesquawkie Nation and the three board members of the Tama County Board of Supervisors. The role of Economic Development Director is to facilitate corporate access to resources to expand their presence in the county and bring buyers and sellers together, not to directly sell businesses to new buyers.
As reported, the TCED operational budget for 2011 is $163,868. Not reported is the fact that the financing request to the Supervisors is the same as it has been for the last three years, namely a total of $105,000. The rest of the money comes from the 70 plus local partners, as well as business services provided by TCED. Also in the budget is another $200,000 plus that is flow-through money that does not come from the Tama County tax payers. This includes tourism, Tama County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Barn Quilts, Tama County Entrepreneurship, Tama County Great Places and the Tama County Community Foundation. The largest share of this $200,000 is the share given to the Weiting Theatre in Toledo, a grant coming from Vision Iowa as a result of participation in the Tama County Great Places scheme, which was initiated by TCED.
It has been said by some that TCED Director Linde Roelofse should spend more time seeing local businesses, of which there are more than 2,000 in the county. The TCED Board feel it is more important for the director to concentrate on producing new business and addressing the needs of those that have asked for help, than to go around the county making cold calls. We the Board felt that part of EconDev could be handled by the local City Boards' representatives. All county businesses are contacted through email and mailings.
With regard to this, here is a list of ED communication activities during the past year: 66 Scientific industry surveys with major influencers of our economy, 41 regional group meetings, 195 local individual contacts, 23 regional individual contacts, 54 one-on-one contacts with prospects, 3,000 email responses to contacts along with over 50,000 media contacts through websites, Twitter, Facebook, newsletters, and various communications through pamphlets and media.
Supervisor Dan Wilkins asked where the $10,000 tourism money came from as he didn't believe the taxpayer money should be used for tourism No tax dollars go to tourism, as all of the money is raised by their committee. However, some TCED office time is spent on tourism activities. Tourism is a part of EC Dev. I know that when the tour buses and cars from other states stop here in Gladbrook, and other towns in the county, they are spending money in our Main Street stores. Ask these businesses if that income is important to them.
It has also been said that Tama county business and sales tax revenue has continually fallen. Here are some facts. In 2010 there were 18 new business start-ups, and according to the Retail and Service Industry taxable income nominal sales for Tama County the following figures are available:
2005 73,929,687
2006 101,086,267
2007 102,243,621
2008 106,118,752
2009 80,748,718
Source: IRS year end
In my book, 4 out of 5 years increase is growth, not loss.
Amy Doyle was quoted as saying her bosses didn't know who Roelofse was. I find it hard to believe that a major Toledo business with several employees doesn't know who the director of TCED is, since she has been in the position for 4 years and is located in Toledo. Communications are a two-way street.
Dan Wilkens was also quoted as saying he couldn't count how many negative contacts he had in regards to TCED. This may be true in Wilkens' case but in mine the opposite is true. I also believe that TCED would not have over 400 local citizens contributing their time and over 70 partners contributing their money if they did not believe as I do in the importance of Tama County ED.
As I have said earlier each city has a representative on the TCED commission. In 8 of the 12 towns attendance is 90 percent, along with two of three supervisors. Please ask these individuals for their opinions on the value of TCED and their thoughts for its future.
Keith Sash, Tama County Economic Development board member and Mayor of Gladbrook.

JACKSON, Mich. — There's new glamour in the slammer.
Tours are booming for Michigan's most famous lockup city, with visitors coming from across the state and beyond to go on the Jackson Historic Prison Tour.
Its highlight: the infamous 7-Block at the former State Prison of Southern Michigan. It closed in 2007.
The eerie 7-Block, still part of a razor-wire enclosed campus with four other active prisons,echoes with drama. It's where Dr. Jack Kevorkian stayed when he first arrived — cell 82, level three — and where hundreds of men, women and children were held on a single night during the 1967 Detroit riot.
Visitors can sit in the creepy cells, smell the dank air, read the blue-cover prison rule books still attached to the cell bars and imagine life for the 515 prisoners held there.
One thing visitors can't do? Take pictures. To see 7-Block, you have to come in person.
Judy Gail Krasnow, the tour founder who worked with the state to add 7-Block as part of her historical prison tour last year, said Jackson's prisons are a potential tourism gold mine.
Her tour garnered just 400 tourists in 2008 but 3,200 last year. This year, "we already have almost 50 tours booked."
Like California's Alcatraz, Jackson has endless prison stories just waiting to be told.
"I want to raise the spirit of Jackson's prison past," Krasnow said . "It's not an embarrassment. It's history."
In the stark symmetry of the prison building known as 7-Block, it's easy to imagine bad things happening.
Rails are garish yellow. Bars are white. The floor is grim gray. There are windows, but the light is filtered, like at a cheap motel, so you can't see out.You go through a door into the yard; looped razor wire menaces from atop every fence.
Nobody would ever want to come here.
Except as a tourist, of course.
"I loved it. I loved the way it looked like the prisons you see on TV, but you can see it in person," said Jan Herrick of Kalamazoo, Mich. "For some reason, prisons really fascinate me."
They fascinate others, too. From West Virginia to California, prison tours are drawing crowds.
Since the Jackson Historic Prison Tour added the visit to 7-Block at the former State Prison of Southern Michigan last year, interest has spiked, said Judy Gail Krasnow, tour founder.
"People like to see the real thing. A lot of the fascination is, 'There but for the grace of God go I.'"
That said, the four-and-a-half-hour tour has to be one of the strangest prison tours — and one of the strangest tours, period — in the world.
You see two prisons, two art studios and the tour guide's apartment.
There are odd juxtapositions — you eat a turkey sandwich, visit a painter in his bright studio, then go to the basement to see 19th-century, solitary- confinement cells.
You take a bus 2 miles north to Blackman Township's prison complex and see 7-Block, which looks ancient but actually was in use until five years ago. Krasnow interviewed former warden Charles Anderson and former inmates to learn the cellblock's inside stories.
(In 1981, the Detroit Free Press' Taro Yamasaki won a Pulitzer Prize for photographing life inside the prison, including 7-Block.)
Besides the visit to 7-Block, here are tour highlights:
—Michigan's First State Prison: All tours begin at Jackson's original prison, which operated from 1838 to 1934. It has been remodeled as the Armory Arts Village, with 62 apartments and artists studios.
In this old prison, inmates wore ball and chains on the grounds and labored in prison factories. Living conditions were primitive. In one wing, 328 men lived in tiny cells with no electricity, heat, ventilation or plumbing.
The prison had a band, a baseball team, a newspaper and a lot of interaction with the community.
"Mothers brought their daughters to get their wedding dresses made at the prison tailor shop," Krasnow said. "Prisoners made exquisite furniture."
Although Michigan abolished capital punishment in 1846, some conditions likely were worse than death.
Investigators once found that 20 men had been confined for 17 years straight in solitary confinement. When inspectors got them out, "nine couldn't talk, all were malnourished and six died right away," Krasnow said. "Everyone was thrown into solitary for two weeks to break their spirit. They didn't care if you stole a loaf of bread or murdered someone."
The chance to see the old prison appealed to Carol Vandenberg of Kalamazoo. Her grandfather, Walter Stoops, was an inmate there in the 1920s.
"I never met him, but I'd always heard there was a black sheep in the family," she said. "I couldn't pass up this trip."
—Artists' studios. Lou Cubille and Carol A. Kent welcome tourists in their studios.
—Krasnow's apartment. Her two-level apartment is the size of 36 prison cells. Yes, she has sensed ghosts in the apartment, or did until she put up a crucifix — even though she's Jewish.
—"The building is 174 years old, so if the spirits have seeped into the brick and floors, that's understandable," Krasnow said. Some of her tours are for paranormal groups.
—Old Prison Gift Shop: Opened in April, it features artwork by former prison inmates, a prison cookbook and T-shirts that say, "I spent time in Jackson (Michigan )."
The Jackson Historic Prison Tour runs through Oct. 31 and takes participants to Michigan's First State Prison (1838-1934), now the Armory Arts Village, and 7-Block (1934-2007) at the former State Prison of Southern Michigan.
Tours last three and a half to four and a half hours, depending on the itinerary, and are by appointment only. The minimum group size is four, and no child younger than 9 will be allowed.
Tickets are $35 per person; groups of 20 or more can get discounts and a package price that includes lunch.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A prominent human rights activist in Bahrain was released from prison on Saturday after spending nearly two years behind bars.
Nabeel Rajab, who heads the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, was sentenced to three years in 2012 on charges of encouraging "illegal gatherings" tied to anti-government protests in the country. An appeals court later reduced his term by a year.
After his release from prison, Rajab was greeted by dozens of supporters and stopped to visit his mother's grave before heading home. The activist is a key icon for the protest movement against the Gulf Arab monarchy's Sunni rulers. Since 2011, the country's majority Shiites have been protesting, demanding greater rights and political freedoms.
A statement from the Bahrain Center for Human Rights said Rajab was imprisoned for "advocating peaceful demonstrations to defend the civil and human rights of all the citizens in the country." Rajab told The Associated Press that he is happy to be out after more than 600 days in prison, and called for the release of all political prisoners. He said stability can only be achieved "through respect for human rights."
"After two years in prison, I see Bahrain's political environment as more difficult and still without a roadmap for real reforms," he said. In mid-2012, Rajab was also sentenced to three months for his comments on Twitter about Bahrain's prime minister. His conviction was overturned on appeal during his prison sentence for taking part in protests.
Also on Saturday, thousands of people marched in a funeral for 15-year old Sayed Mohsen, who died during protests earlier this week in Sitra, south of the capital, Manama. The procession turned violent when mourners clashed with security forces nearby. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
Mohsen's family and the country's main opposition group Al Wifaq said the teenager died after being shot in the chest at close range with bird shot — a weapon commonly used by Bahraini police. The country's Interior Ministry said police were investigating the circumstances of the death. The ministry said police in Sitra reacted after being attacked with firebombs Wednesday during a funeral procession of a man who had died earlier in a bomb blast.
"While the specific circumstances in which Sayed Mohsen was shot remain unclear, the use of force in policing public assemblies … must conform to the requirements of necessity and proportionality; and firearms may only be used as a last resort," Amnesty International said in a statement.
The rights group urged an independent and transparent inquiry into the teenager's death. The opposition in Bahrain, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, claims that at least 100 people have been killed in the past three years of protests.

I'm excited to do something with this panel, my sisters and I (three of us) go to the beach somewhere in either U.S. or Mexico every year in lieu of purchasing birthday or Christmas gifts none of us need nor particularly want! It's a fun way to spend time together and I'd love to make them each a beach bag or tote bag with this panel.

Is there salvation outside the church?
Can my Buddhist husband be saved? What about my Jewish neighbors and my sister-in-law who is an atheist?
An ancient doctrine says extra ecclesiam nulla salus ("outside the church there is no salvation"), so how does this affect those who are not Christian? You may be surprised that the doctrine still holds, but this doesn't mean that salvation is unavailable to those of other religions or of no religion at all.
The doctrine is associated with St. Cyprian of Carthage, a bishop of North Africa martyred in 258 and urgently concerned about Christian unity. His was a time of great turbulence. Superstitious Romans had long believed natural disasters and other difficulties to be punishment by their patron gods, angered at the refusal of Christians to give them honor.
In 250 the emperor Decius required Christians to perform a public act of sacrifice documented by a libellus, or certificate of compliance. Some Christians obeyed; others refused, suffering death (martyrs) or torture (confessors). Others secured their libellus by making payment to Roman authorities.
Whether by sacrifice or bribery, those Christians who secured the required documentation were a source of consternation for some church leaders. (Not so for Bishop Euctemon of Smyrna, a practical fellow who encouraged his entire congregation to save themselves by complying with the law!)
Understandably, a great debate arose concerning those who had succumbed, known as lapsi, or "the lapsed." Hardliners took the position that these apostates not be reconciled to the church until their deathbeds; a few insisted that they could never be received back into the church. Moderates called for penance, followed by reconciliation.
Disagreements on how to handle the problem eventually led to arguments and even schism, splits or divisions in church communities. It was to those who had split the church asunder that Cyprian aimed his warning: If you have turned your back on the church of Christ, you cannot know the rewards of Christ. Cyprian understood such persons as former inheritors of light and life, which they renounced by departing from the communion of the faithful. Once outside, there was no salvation without repentance and return.
Sadly, this doctrine was later used to suggest that none can be saved unless they are baptized and in union with the Holy See. But God is not a miser, and our limitations are not limitations upon God's grace. If Christ is truly the goodness and truth of God, then all who seek truth and respond with goodness must somehow be experiencing Christ.
Our doctrine today clearly explains that these persons can be saved, and that there is much to be gained by learning the teachings of other great religions.
This doesn't mean there is little reason to be a Christian. Christ has much to offer the world, and he cannot do so without our cooperation. This insight must be what inspired St. Cyprian in the first place. Bringing it into our contemporary situation, perhaps we would do better to see the world's religions as complementary rather than competitors.
