Kathleen Y. Simbeck, 84, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and formerly of St. Marys, died Wednesday, September 4, 2013, at the Zilber Family Hospice in Wauwatosa, WI, after an extended illness.
She was born Kathleen Yetzer, on March 9, 1929, in St. Marys, daughter of the late Carl Yetzer, Sr. and Kathryn Fitzgerald Yetzer. She sang in school choirs and plays and was named Miss Elk County in 1947, competing that year in the Miss Pennsylvania pageant. She was a 1947 graduate of Central Catholic High School. She sang with big bands including the Sammy Yarfido Band, a popular regional combo.
She worked for a time at Stackpole Carbon Company, until on September 22, 1951, she married Robert D. "Bob" Simbeck. The couple lived for nearly 50 years on Wehler Road, raising three children. Kathleen volunteered for nearly 20 years at Elk Haven Nursing Home, and worked there from approximately 1979-1989, as an activities aide. She was tremendously popular with the residents, organizing talent shows and rhythm bands.
Bob Simbeck died on June 26, 2003. Kathleen lived at home for three years, and then moved to Milwaukee to live with her daughter Karleen. She entered assisted living in 2009, but kept in close touch with family and friends.
She remained a lifelong fan of music, particularly of Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell.
She is survived by three children: Rob Simbeck of Nashville, Tennessee, Lori Tubert and her husband Marcelo of Burbank, California, and Karleen Vitrano and her husband Charlie of Greenfield, Wisconsin; three grandchildren, Emily and Sarah Tubert, and Carly Vitrano; and two sisters-in-law, Henrietta Roussey and Marie Rezmerski, both of Johnsonburg; and a brother-in-law, Leo Simbeck of St Marys.
She was preceded in death by a sister, Rose Grotzinger, and brother, Carl Yetzer, Jr.
There will be no visitation.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated in the Queen of the World Church on Monday, September 9, 2013, at 10:00 AM, with the Rev. Richard Allen, Pastor, officiating. Burial will follow in the St. Mary's Cemetery.
Memorials, if desired, may be made to a favorite charity.
The Lynch-Radkowski Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Online condolences may be offered at www.lynch-radkowski.com.

text: I just saw that around 250 bison were killed in this year's hunt, but only 37 were from state license issued tags. The rest were all taken by Native American tribes. I understand there are treaties from 1855, etc. and I'm all for respecting those agreements and letting the tribes participate in the hunt, but it sure seems unfair that the general public gets such a small percentage of such highly prized tags... just my thoughts.

Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often deranged misfits in the landmark films "Easy Rider," "Apocalypse Now" and "Blue Velvet" drew on his early out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of Hollywood rebel, died Saturday at his home in Venice, Calif. He was 74.
The cause was complications from metastasized prostate cancer, according to a statement issued by Alex Hitz, a family friend.
Mr. Hopper, who said he stopped drinking and using drugs in the mid-1980s, followed that change with a tireless phase of his career in which he claimed to have turned down no parts. His credits include no fewer than six films released in 2008 and at least 25 over the past 10 years.
Most recently, Mr. Hopper starred in the television series "Crash," an adaptation of the Oscar-winning film of the same title. Produced for the Starz cable channel, the show had Mr. Hopper portraying a music producer unhinged by years of drug use.
During a promotional tour last fall for that series, he fell ill; shortly thereafter, he began a new round of treatments for prostate cancer, which he said had been first diagnosed a decade ago.
Mr. Hopper was hospitalized in Los Angeles in January, at which time he also filed for divorce from his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy, with whom he had a young daughter. Mr. Hopper issued a news release citing "irreconcilable differences" for the filing.
"I wish Victoria the best but only want to spend these difficult days surrounded by my children and close friends," he said in the release.
Mr. Hopper first won praise in Hollywood as a teenager in 1955 for his portrayal of an epileptic on the NBC series "Medic" and for a small part in the James Dean film "Rebel Without a Cause."
He confirmed his status as a rising star the next year, as the son of a wealthy rancher played by Rock Hudson in "Giant," the epic western also starring Elizabeth Taylor and Dean.
Soon he was traveling in social circles with Dean and was linked romantically with Natalie Wood and Joanne Woodward.
But success as a Hollywood star brought with it a growing hubris, and in 1958 Mr. Hopper found himself in a battle of wills with the director Henry Hathaway on the set of "From Hell to Texas."
The story has several versions; the most common is that his refusal to play a scene in the manner that the director requested resulted in Mr. Hopper's stubbornly performing more than 80 takes before he finally followed orders.
Upon wrapping the scene, Mr. Hopper later recalled, Mr. Hathaway told him that his career in Hollywood was finished.
He soon left for New York, where he studied with Lee Strasberg for several years, performed on stage and acted in more than 100 episodes of television shows.
It was not until after his marriage in 1961 to Brooke Hayward who, as the daughter of Leland Hayward, a producer and agent, and Margaret Sullavan, the actress, was part of Hollywood royalty that Mr. Hopper was regularly offered film roles again.
He wrangled small parts in big studio films like "The Sons of Katie Elder" (1965) directed by his former nemesis Henry Hathaway as well as "Cool Hand Luke" (1967) and "Hang 'Em High" (1968).
And he grew close to his wife's childhood friend Peter Fonda, who, with Mr. Hopper and a few others, began mulling over a film whose story line followed traditional western themes but substituted motorcycles for horses.
That film, "Easy Rider," which Mr. Hopper wrote with Mr. Fonda and Terry Southern and directed, followed a pair of truth-seeking bikers (Mr. Fonda and Mr. Hopper) on a cross-country journey to New Orleans.
It won the prize for best first film at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival (though it faced only one competitor, as the critic Vincent Canby pointed out in a tepid 1969 review in The New York Times).
Mr. Hopper also shared an Oscar nomination for writing the film, while a nomination for best supporting actor went to a little-known Jack Nicholson.
"Easy Rider" introduced much of its audience, if not Mr. Hopper, to cocaine, and the film's success accelerated a period of intense drug and alcohol use that Mr. Hopper later said nearly killed him and turned him into a professional pariah.
Given nearly $1 million by Universal for a follow-up project, he retreated with a cadre of hippies to Peru to shoot "The Last Movie," a hallucinogenic film about the making of a movie. It won a top prize at the 1971 Venice Film Festival, but it failed with critics and at the box office.
Mr. Hopper edited the film while living at Los Gallos, a 22-room adobe house in Taos, N.M., that he rechristened the Mud Palace and envisioned as a counterculture Hollywood.
It was there that his drug-induced paranoia took full flower, including a period in which he posted armed guards on the roof.
"I was terribly naïve in those days," he told The New York Times in 2002. "I thought the crazier you behaved, the better artist you would be. And there was a time when I had a lot of energy to display how crazy that was."
Mr. Hopper was seen mostly in small film parts until he returned to prominence with his performance in "Apocalypse Now" (1979).
In a 1993 interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, Mr. Hopper credited Marlon Brando, a star of the film, with the idea of having him portray a freewheeling photojournalist, rather than the smaller role of a C.I.A. officer, in which he was originally cast.
But Mr. Hopper's after-hours style continued to affect his work; in "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse," a documentary about the making of that film, the director, Francis Ford Coppola, is seen lamenting that Mr. Hopper cannot seem to learn his lines.
After becoming sober in the 1980s, Mr. Hopper began taking on roles in several films a year, becoming one of the most recognizable character actors of the day.
He earned a second Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for his role as the alcoholic father of a troubled high school basketball star in "Hoosiers" (1986), and he honed his portrayal of unhinged villains in films like "Blue Velvet" (also in 1986), "Speed" (1994) and "Waterworld" (1995), as well as in the first season of the television series "24" (2002).
Mr. Hopper had several artistic pursuits beyond film. Early in his career, he painted and wrote poetry, though many of his works were destroyed in a 1961 fire that burned scores of homes, including his, in the Los Angeles enclave Bel Air.
Around that time, Ms. Hayward gave him a camera as a gift, and Mr. Hopper took up photography.
His intimate and unguarded images of celebrities like Ike and Tina Turner, Andy Warhol and Jane Fonda were the subject of gallery shows and were collected in a book, "1712 North Crescent Heights." The book, whose title was his address in the Hollywood Hills in the 1960s, was edited by Marin Hopper, his daughter by Ms. Hayward.
He also built an extensive collection of works by artists he knew, including Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Julian Schnabel.
Born on May 17, 1936, in Dodge City, Kan., and raised on a nearby farm, Dennis Lee Hopper moved with his family to San Diego in the late 1940s.
He studied at the Old Globe Theater there while in high school, then signed a contract with Warner Brothers and moved to Los Angeles.
Mr. Hopper's five marriages included one of eight days in 1970 to the singer Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. He is survived by four children, all of the Los Angeles area: Marin Hopper; Ruthanna Hopper, his daughter by Daria Halprin, his third wife; a son, Henry Lee Hopper, whose mother is Katherine LaNasa; and Galen, his daughter by Ms. Duffy.
On March 26, surrounded by friends like Mr. Nicholson and David Lynch, the director of "Blue Velvet," Mr. Hopper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Looking frail, he began his brief acceptance speech by sardonically thanking the paparazzi for supposedly distracting him and causing him to lose his balance and fall the day before. He continued, "Everyone here today that I've invited and obviously some that I haven't invited have enriched my life tremendously."

IFRS 17 brings some very specific challenges for insurers' finance and actuarial teams, not the least of which is to produce numbers and analyses ever quicker, with greater transparency, and with more controls and granularity. But it also provides a unique opportunity to review and update the technology, processes and people used for financial reporting.
Insurance system and process evolution has often taken place in a piecemeal fashion, in isolation from other business considerations. IFRS 17 provides a catalyst to take a step back, and to review the people, processes and technologies that will be needed not only to deliver a successful IFRS 17 implementation, but to position the business for the future.
How we can help
Willis Towers Watson is uniquely placed to help both Life and property and casualty (P&C) insurers interpret and implement the new accounting standard. We combine specialist knowledge, with unique technology tools and unrivalled depth of capabilities to deliver a range of IFRS services.

Tigger of Kai wrote:Master of Orion 2 is a turn-based strategy game similar to Civilization. It's one of my very favorites. It was simultaneously released for DOS and Windows 95, but the DOS version is superior (as is usually the case). I found these instructions helpful even though they're meant for WinXP.
Copy the entire CD to C:\[MyName]\temp and then run Install.exe from there using a DOSBox command line. It's important to install the game to either C:\MPS\ORION2 or to a directory with that exact name on your DOSBox virtual HD. Copy all the files and subdirectories from the aforementioned temp directory to the game directory (it's ok if they overwrite). Update with official patch 1.31 (you can find it on the page linked above). Edit ORIONCD.INI so that it points to C:\MPS\ORION2 instead of the install directory. Use DOSBox to run SETSOUND.EXE. I selected "Soundblaster" for both music and sound effects and had no trouble; if you encounter problems you could try editing MDI.INI and DIG.INI. Run ORION2.EXE to play.
I was never one for multiplayer, but supposedly there's still an active fanbase of die-hard Moo2'ers.To play with them you'll have to install the unofficial 1.40 patch. It's on the page I linked above, but the installer crashed on me — maybe it isn't written for the latest Windowses. Oh well.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers courses in mathematics, computer science and statistics and four major programs of study. For students needing the mathematical skills required in such fields as science and engineering or who plan to work in a quantitative area of business, continue study in a graduate or professional school, or become high school mathematics teachers, the department's B.S. in Mathematics is an excellent choice. The department also offers B.A. in Mathematics. During 2009/2010, the department updated the curriculum. The new curriculum became effective in the Fall 2010 semester. The old programs of study will still apply to some degree for students caught in the transistion period.
For students who desire in-depth knowledge of computer science in preparation for excellent employment potential or perhaps graduate school in Computer Science or Applied Mathematics, the department's B.S. in Computer Science is a superb choice. The department's B.A. in Computer Science will appeal to the student who desires a working knowledge of computer science and applied mathematical topics in preparation for excellent employment opportunities.
Recently, the department has added two additional programs of study, Actuarial Science and Mathematical Economics. The B.S. in Actuarial Science and B.S. in Mathematical Economics are interdisciplinary degrees that combine Mathematics, Statistics, Accounting, Finance, and Economics.
The Engineering program is a 3-2 Engineering program with either Vanderbilt Univeristy or Virginia Tech. The typical student will complete three years of course work at High Point Univeristy and two years at either Vanderbilt University or Virginia Tech to obtain potentially two degrees.
Lastly, for students majoring in other subject areas (business, economics, social sciences, chemistry, biology, sports medicine, and others) who are interested in mathematics or computer science and desire to strengthen their background, the department offers a minor in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science.

While trying to expand my Tiddeman ancestor tree I stumbled onto a very interesting woman.
Mary Carleton was tried and executed for returning from penal transportation in January of 1673. Her criminal activities began about ten years earlier when she was tried in Maidstone for bigamy in 1660.
She was born Mary Moders, daughter of a Canterbury musician. Her first husband was Thomas Stedman, a Canterbury shoemaker. Apparently she grew tired of being a shoemaker's wife and went to Dover where she married Thomas Day, surgeon.
Apparently she convinced the court that she had received word of Stedman's death, Mary pleaded not guilty to the charge of bigamy. She was released with a reprimand: the court merely ordered her either to produce proof of Stedman's death or to stop living with Day.
She was tried for bigamy again in 1663 when she married John Carleton while still married to Thomas Stedman. Apparently she married a few men and relieved them of their riches and went on her merry way.
The husband I am most interested in is Thomas Day. He is either my 12th great-grandfather or his son. They were both surgeons of Dover. According to Thomas the elder's will proved in 1663, he was a widow. It's not totally out of the question for a young gold digger to marry an elderly rich doctor. But then again, why have the senior, if you can have the junior?
I just can't seem to find enough information about either of them to know for sure which surgeon fell victim to Mary Carleton dubbed "The German Princess".
This is all I have been able to find about the two of them:

Day Chirurgion there and to Mr Partrich Apothecary for their helpes and needfull

This is definitely a mystery I would love to see solved.

The ORIGINAL gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters. (As denounced by Bill Clinton on CNN!)
Thursday, October 13, 2011
Sipsey Street Exclusive: Was the Gunwalker Plot Bill Newell's idea and the Obama National Security Council's opportunity? Will O'Reilly survive?
The sources also say that Newell met personally with O'Reilly during this early period in the Obama administration and they believe that Newell may have "weaponized" the desire for more better statistics on the part of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others to support the "90 Percent" meme -- that 90% of weapons seized in Mexico from the drug cartels actually came from American civilian market sources.
Newell, who the sources say was familiar with the tactic of "gun walking" from the previous failed Operation Wide Receiver in Tuscon where Newell had participated in it, probably provided the germ of the idea that "walked" weapons could be used to "boost the statistics" of weapons found at crime scenes in Mexico, in the words of an early whiistleblower in this case.
If this is true, it places Kevin O'Reilly, a State Department employee responsible to Hillary Clinton, as the critical potential witness in the early history of the Gunwalker Scandal. Sources also say that there is a "not unfounded" fear that O'Reilly, who was suddenly transferred to Iraq "to keep him from being interviewed by the committee" according to one, "will not survive the deployment."
This is a developing story and we will have more later.

I guess that would put Kevin O'Reilly on Obama's Kill List.
Easy to cover up, Ala Pat Tillman.

We're all pulling for you, Kevin O'Reilly! To survive long enough to testify under oath, that is. That's why we're leaving this google trail, to make it a little harder to arrange an "accident," a "stray shot," or a "random roadside IED." (And if your minders put you on a helicopter, make sure you strap in. Very easy to "accidentally" fall out of that open troop door.)

Rep.Issa should have O'Reilly recalled before he has an "accident," as many of the people who surrounded Bill and Hillery Clinton have had over the years which can be found on the Alamo-Girl site.

If Holder and Obama were smart, they might be able to make it look like the whole thing was a plot cooked up between Newell and Hillary Clinton / the State Department. It would deflect blame from the DOJ and White house, and remove Hillary as a potential challenger in 2012.

Holy carp, this is the first time I looked at those dates. MARCH!? They didn't lose any time, did they? (Sorry, I can't remember -- when was the 90% lie first uttered by this administration? They sure had their priorities!)
Also, Operation Wide Receiver seems to have been a failed attempt at gun tracing, not an experiment in gun walking. Or did Newell realize that one man's failure is another man's opportunity? His repetition of Wide Receiver WITHOUT RFID tags or other surveillance is a dead giveaway that he either learned nothing or he learned something completely unintended.

You have to wonder, at some point the Clintonista's, specifically hillary, when does it all catch up to her treason and tyranny?
I mean, here is a woman who is an undeniable tyrant, a person so full of her self, her superiority above others, where she has run rampant and free of responsibility for so many crimes and transgression of oath of office.
In a nut shell her hubris is obnoxious like only a tyrant queen can posses.
When CL Lewis wrote about the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, he summed up hillary perfectly.

I find it funny but no longer shocking that people who previously denied any aspect of this operation, are now offering up the lowest members of the conspiracy, in the lowest numbers possible, in order to attempt to placate us and move past it as rapidly as possible. Accompanied by 7 to 14 'Ooops' explanations as to why this is a "botched" operation and not the TREASON, this it very CLEARLY is.
This is a typical action engaged in by persons who are attempting to evade responsibilies for the commission of TREASON, multipule counts of FELONY MURDER, in two countries that we know of and CONSPIRACY to commit both, as MINIMUM charges.
I guess I'd be trying to move things in other directions, with other outcomes too, If I were an involved party.
And make no mistake about it, congress and the senate want to let them off the hook. It's all a matter of how much they think we will accept as justice. The media will go along with what ever they decide.

This fits right in with the under mining of the Honduran Democratic government and giving
weapons to their Marxist opponents.

Mike, it looks like you got upstaged...
Shouldn't he have waited until this was up here???

Oh Mike, Oh Mike,
You are really going to love the quote from Barry in his presser about even if there was no direct knowledge about operational workings, there still had to be accountability at the highest levels of the Iranian government.
I wish I had DVR so I could offer up the exact quote, but it is a Super Keeper and one that must be turned right back on him over GunWalker. For sure.

what would you bet that the schumer, mccarthy, feinstein gun ban clan all knew about f&f also?
I would imagine if their were a real investigation they all knew as well and were told to sit back and wait for the fruit to fall from the tree and then shout from the rooftops how a complete ban was way overdue.

I wonder if the bonehead knows that this will apply to him and Holder as well?

The money shot is ;
We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability with respect to anybody in the Iranian government engaging in this : Barry Sotero

We all know how much the Clinton family loves "assault weapons". It may take a few years for all the corruption to come out, but this entire administration considers itself above reproach and above the law.

An Alabama couple said they are surprised by the flak they're getting on social media for the football-inspired name they gave to their newborn son.
Summer and Steven Steele, from Andalusia, Ala., named their son Krimson Tyde, after the Crimson Tide football team at the University of Alabama. The name caught people's attention on Twitter after a user posted a photo of the baby's birth announcement on the site earlier this week, according to reports.
"I'm very shocked, I didn't think people would make a very big deal about it," Krimson's mom Summer Steele told Alabama Media Group.
U.S. & World
The couple said they named their son Krimson because they are big Alabama fans, and they slammed the public for criticizing their choice.
"To people speaking negatively about us naming him Krimson, it's not their child nor family member so if they have nothing nice to say they don't need to say nothing at all," Steele said, AL.com reported.
Krimson, who was born on Dec. 17, joins a slew of other Alabamians with parents who are die-hard Crimson Tide fans. A look into an online baby name database revealed that 35 of the 76 girls born in the U.S. in 2012 with the names Crimson, Krimson or Krymson were from Alabama, AL.com reported. Nine boys in the state went home with the name Crimson.

…if briefly. Word is that the Yankees have inquired about acquiring Rockies righty Ubaldo Jiminez. In return and not surprisingly, the Rockies would want loads of prospects. I'd be fine with trading for Jiminez, but not at too steep a price. Moving Montero would be fine with me, but the key for me entails the Yanks not giving away all their best pitching prospects. Nova might need to be included, but Banuelos and Betances? That would be a no for me.
Acquiring Jiminez would be very tempting and would undoubtedly improve the rotation considerably. But the Yankees did not spend all that time and effort rebuilding their minor-league system simply to repeat the mistakes of the 1980s, when their young players were primarily used in trades rather than in The Bronx. In sum, yes to Ubaldo, but not at the cost of depleting their young pitchers whom I value perhaps a bit more than Montero at this point.

Public speaking was a hallmark of Margaret Thatcher's career, long before she became Britain's prime minister--and public speaking is emerging as a strong theme in the new movie The Iron Lady, which debuts January 6 in the UK. Now CBS has featured the movie's star, Meryl Streep, in an interview that also zeroes in on several aspects of Thatcher's speaking and how Streep brought it to the screen.
Thatcher's hiring of an acting coach is noted in the interview. "Her voice was sort of lighter, like mine is," Streep said. "And they taught her to support it, to bring it up from the depths of her place, where the conviction lies, and to carry it through without a breath, until the end of a thought. And then not to give 'em a chance to interrupt her."
She objects when it's pointed out that she's played a lot of strong-minded women. "No one has ever asked an actor, 'You're playing a strong-minded man.' We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions. But a strong-minded woman is a different animal," Streep said.
The story also notes that Streep is active in the campaign to build a National Women's History Museum in Washington and shows her at a fundraiser quoting Thatcher: "If you want something spoken about, ask a man. If you want it done, ask a woman."
Margaret Thatcher's "Iron Lady" speech--the one that earned her that nickname--was featured in our Famous Speech Friday series earlier this year. For the 60 Minutes interview of Streep, read the script of this segment here, and watch it below. What do you think?

Advice on how to make a good presentation
If you do not know how to make a presentation, the best thing is to leave a white background and a black font
Remember if unsure always stick with the basic way. But it's not the only reason why you should go for the black and white:
- We live in a minimalistic age: now people like everything simple and clear. The black and white is back in trend for this reason.
- If it not the effects and the colours which we use to call to action or to generate attention. There are so many alternate ways to go around that: think of the various multimedia tools you can use during your presentation.
Black letters on a white background is the most visible combination even from afar.

text: I am a long time fan of ROTK 11. I just loved the battle system and the world map in which you could conquer. However, the game becomes very easy once you figure it out, even on the highest difficulty. Thus, I have been wondering if there were mods to this game to increase the difficulty or give it a refreshing change. I've been searching around and I have found some posts alluding to a custom scenario editor and other interesting mods. Is this true? Is there a simple way to change the game to add replayability? If so, could you please kindly show me how? I am a bit lost when it comes to modding a game, I would truly appreciate your help. Thank you.

Two New Yorkers are being held in a Florida jail after officials said they flew to the Sunshine State solely to commit widespread fraud.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said 22-year-old Graisy Pichardo and 26-year-old Myles Nicholas were arrested Wednesday and are being held on $15,000 bail each.
Deputies said they tried to buy gift cards at two Walmarts on Tuesday but left when asked for identification. Store officials contacted law enforcement.
Deputies say they found the pair inside a rental car outside a store. They said the duo had used cloned credit cards to buy $3,000 in gift cards at several stores. They say a machine to clone credit cards was found.
It couldn't be determined if they have an attorney. They are charged with theft and other felonies.

The 2016 reboot of Master of Orion kind of shoots itself in the foot a bit with its own subtitle: "Conquer the Stars". When I play 4x games, I like to feel like I'm really building an empire, managing an economy, and conducting diplomacy. All of those things are present in Master of Orion, but I've gotten a pretty distinct feeling that this is yet another strategy game that falls victim to military rushing being the optimal strategy by far. Master of Orion doesn't really want you to build a civilization and colonize the galaxy; it firmly wants you to do what its subtitle tells you: conquer the stars.
Master of Orion III was kind of shit (it was boring, ugly, and completely lacked personality and substance), but at least it made some effort to be new and interesting. Most noticeably, the galactic map was actually three-dimensional. Sure, this was a navigational and UI nightmare for the human player, but it required players to think differently about how they approached expansion and warfare. At a more fundamental level, MoO3 sought to be a game about macro-management, asking the player to manage a vast galactic empire rather than just a collection of a dozen or so planets. The meat of the game, thus, was intended to be in the mid-to-late stages, as developed empires engaged in epic battles for survival, rather than all the fun and challenge being front-loaded in the early rush to colonize all the nearby planets. It didn't work, but at least it was trying to genuinely innovate the 4x genre.
The new Master of Orion isn't anywhere near that ambitious, and seeks instead to simply bring the original Master of Orion concept (in its simplest form) into the age of high-resolution 3-d graphics. It's a scaled-down, bog-standard space-4x game that borrows heavily from Endless Space and Civilization V. But it is at least a competent one!
The galaxy itself isn't very big this time around. Depending on the map's size, there's only a few dozen stars, and most of them only have two or three planets. Unstable star lanes and space monsters can lock you out of exploring certain systems until you research certain technologies or grow your military sufficiently large (respectively). Other than that, exploration is over fairly quickly (especially once you start performing map trades in diplomacy).
Planet-management is also fairly easy. You can assign population meeples between one of three different types of output: food, production, and research. Meeples of different jobs and races have different icons, and unhappy meeples on strike have icons that sit down holding a picket sign. It makes it very easy to see what your population's current status is at a glance. There's just not really much to do with them. You don't have to assign them to work specific buildings, and with only 3 outputs to manage, balancing or specializing isn't that difficult.
All the buildings in the game are also one-time builds that don't serve much function other than to provide flat points of one of the three outputs, or to modify the efficiency of meeples in a particular output category. Buildings that have unique functionality (such as the Spy Center, Gravity Generators, or Interplanetary Administration) are few and far between. The only other thing that you do with your planets is to occasionally terraform them in order to boost your max population and unlock additional slots along each of the output tracks.
The tech tree also feels kind of bland and linear. I would much prefer a tech web along the lines of Civilization: Beyond Earth. Master of Orion kind of goes in this direction a bit by including some techs in which you have to chose which of two different items you want to take when you research certain techs. You can then trade for the other via diplomacy if you want to. It's kind of like the leaf nodes in Beyond Earth, but only some techs have them, and I rarely had to think too hard about which one I wanted...

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
The guys on Nashville are good at a lot of things: sex, scandal, singing, songwriting. But they seriously suck at this Glamour magazine game called "Nail Polish or Country Song?" All four manly men — Jonathan Jackson, Charles Esten, Eric Close and Sam Palladio — sit around trying to determine if "Sparks Fly," "Gunpowder & Lead," "BBQ Stain" and "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" are songs or not. They fail miserably. But, they look good, so that helps you forget their shortcomings. The story goes on to reveal a little about each guy's background. Jackson was on General Hospital in the late '90s. Esten used to be on The Office. Close did a faux FBI stint on Without a Trace. And Palladio is kind of new at this. At least in America. "I auditioned on webcam. It was my first visit to the U.S. when I came to Nashville," he said.

Of the roughly 80,000 girls who have been adopted from China since 1989—a decade after China implemented its One Child Policy—the film intimately follows four teenagers: Haley, Jenna, Ann, and Fang. These four wise-beyond-their-years, yet typical American teens, reveal a heartbreaking sense of self-awareness as they attempt to answer the uniquely human question, "Who am I?" They meet and bond with other adoptees, some journey back to China to reconnect with the culture, and some reach out to the orphaned girls left behind. In their own ways, all attempt to make sense of their complex identities. Issues of belonging, race, and gender are brought to life through these articulate subjects, who approach life with honesty and open hearts."

Pokeweed: an herb for all things pokey.
Now that I'm living on my home ground again, I've been feeling like writing about some real traditional Appalachian herbs. So for July's berry-themed blog party, I chose a classic of Appalachian herbalism: pokeberry (Phytolacca americana).
A while back on the Herbwifery Forum, a few of us were reminiscing about growing up in West Virginia and North Carolina. From our informal survey, it seems like covering oneself in pokeberry juice and running around like a little demon is an essential part of an Appalachian childhood. And it's no wonder. Pokeweed is everywhere in Southern Appalachia, and the ripe berries hang in shiny, inky purple-black clusters. Squish them in your hands, and they turn bright pink. What could be more fun?
Of course, we all knew that pokeberries were "poison,†so we didn't eat them. (Unless someone said "I dare you,†that is. And even then we'd spit them right out again. I never knew anyone to get sick on them.)
The truth is, poke is strong stuff. It can be toxic even in moderate doses. Some herbalists stick to diluted homeopathic preparations of the plant, just to be on the safe side. But I prefer the old-fashioned way: drops of the tincture, spoonfuls of the decoction, sips of the wine, or a berry at a time. (Fresh plant only. Poke doesn't take well to drying.)
So you might be asking, like my ten-year-old niece always does, "What's it for?†Well, poke is for all things, um, pokey. Poke gets things moving in the body, especially the lymphatic system, the joints, and the metabolism. In other words, it's an "alterative." Used externally, it kills things (scabies, ringworm, etc.).
The most common indications for pokeberries in old-time Appalachian herbalism were "rheumatism†and "bad blood.†These days I'd call those "chronic joint pain†and "lymphatic sluggishness.†The usual prescription was to eat one berry a day for a week (without chewing the seeds), stop for a week, and repeat. Three berries, three times a week was another classic dose.
This tradition of on-and-off dosing is interesting. Perhaps poke inspires a reaction in the body—maybe in the immune system—that is triggered only by withdrawal of the dosage? Poke is often called an "immune stimulant," but I imagine it's more complicated than that. I often wonder about poke's effects on autoimmune conditions, since many of the conditions associated with the symptoms of "rheumatism†turn out to have links to autoimmunity.
Modern herbalists sometimes use pokeberries to help stimulate an underactive thyroid, and old texts often mention goiter and obesity as important indications for the plant. It's possible that poke acts directly on the thyroid, or indirectly on the metabolism through its general stimulation of "movement†in the body.
Poke's movement-stimulating properties, combined with its affinities for the lymphatic system and "glands,†have led to its traditional use for many conditions involving hard, swollen masses in the body, including simple swollen lymph nodes, mumps, tonsillitis, adenitis, orchitis, mastitis, goiter, and cancer.
In my experience, poke root is one of the best things out there for inflammations of the breast, including mastitis. Fresh root poultices are traditional (though they can cause skin irritation), but tincture of the fresh root or a plaster of fresh berries will work, too, along with drop doses of the tincture internally. (Poke is contraindicated during pregnancy, but okay for nursing moms—in small doses, of course.)
One of poke's many folk names is "cancer root,†and (like many other lymphatic herbs) it has a reputation as an old-time cancer remedy—especially for breast and skin cancers. It's interesting that the old authors are split on its effectiveness. I've noticed that those who recommend poke for cancer support tend to emphasize using the fresh plant, rather than dried. This fits with what I've been taught. Always use fresh poke.
Whiskey tincture of the fresh root and fresh berry wine are the traditional Appalachian ways to preserve the plant for internal use. Traditional preparations of poke for external use often involved extraction in kerosene. This is one tradition I don't follow. Poke-infused olive oil works just fine, thanks.
My favorite saying about poke comes from Tommie Bass. Talking about the old-time use of poke whiskey as a tonic, he said "It just straightened you out."
An herbalist's cheat-sheet for poke:
Parts used: fresh root, fresh berries (young shoots and leaves are also a "spring tonic†food, boiled in two changes of water).
Actions: alterative, lymphatic, antifungal, possible thyroid stimulant.
Affinities: lymph, breasts, testes, skin, joints.
Taste: acrid, slightly sweet, root slightly bitter.
Vitalist energetics: root slightly cooling and drying; berries slightly warming.
Michael Moore energetics (highlights): lymphatic, immune, skin/mucosa, hepatic, parasympathetic stimulant; cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, CNS sedative; berries for thyroid depression, root for adrenalin stress.
Tongue indications: swollen, with a white coating; sometimes foamy saliva (Michael Moore).
Specific indications: Hard, swollen lymph nodes. "Hurts to stick out tongue†(Matthew Wood).
Homeopathic mental indications: "Loss of personal delicacy, disregard of surrounding objects. Indifferent to life" (Boericke).
Have fun "poking" around!
PS: I'm going to post this month's blog party on August 2nd—mainly because that's the day we get real internet access at our new house, but also because it gives busy-in-the-summer folks an extra day to make a blog party post!

What: Piedmont Atlanta Hospital will be 100 percent tobacco-free, campus-wide.
When: Tuesday, January 1, 2013.
Where: All Piedmont Atlanta Hospital owned and leased properties, both inside and outside of all buildings, on grounds, interior streets and parking areas.
Who: All of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, meaning: all employees, physicians, patients, visitors, volunteers, EMS/public safety officials, contractors, and vendors must adhere to the policy.
Why: Smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, and second hand smoke, in particular, places our patients at risk. As a healthcare leader, Piedmont Atlanta Hospital is committed to providing excellence in patient care, maintaining a safe, healing environment and promoting healthy lifestyles. It's the right thing to do, and this initiative sets a positive example in the community.
It means that no one is allowed to use any tobacco products inside or outside any Piedmont Atlanta Hospital locations. Smoking and the use of all other tobacco products (including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff and pipe smoking) are not permitted by anyone on the campuses of all Piedmont Atlanta Hospital locations, owned or leased, including: all buildings, entrances, walkways, grounds, parking facilities and in vehicles parked anywhere on Piedmont Atlanta Hospital property. In addition, the odor of tobacco smoke and other smokeless tobacco products must not be detectable on an employee or volunteer at any time.
Research shows that even the odor of tobacco causes problems with healing. We ask that you not use any kind of tobacco product while at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.
Smokers are expected to properly extinguish and discard cigarettes and any other tobacco products before entering Piedmont Atlanta Hospital grounds, respecting hospital property, as well as the grounds of neighboring organizations and public domain. Cigarette receptacles have been placed by all parking areas for smokers to properly dispose of tobacco products prior to entering the hospital grounds.
Providing a place to smoke does not support our goal to become totally smoke- and tobacco-free to create a healthier environment for our patients, visitors, employees and volunteers. Smoking and secondhand smoke are known health hazards. As a healthcare provider, we are committed not just to healing illness, but also to promoting wellness. Allowing smoking on our campus, even in designated areas, is not consistent with this commitment. We do not want our patients, visitors and employees to be exposed to secondhand smoke while on our campus. Allowing smoking, even in designated areas, does not support our goal.
Tobacco use is prohibited on all areas of the campus, inside and outside, including inside cars that are parked on hospital property.
We are not asking employees, visitors and patients to quit using tobacco products but to refrain from using tobacco products while visiting or working at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.
Patients and their families/guests will be informed at the time of registration or admission that the use tobacco products on hospital grounds is strictly prohibited. Extensive signage will be in place by our go-live date, and various other methods of communication will be in place to ensure that visitors and patients are aware of the policy. For example, we will be issuing notification cards and scripted conversations to employees to utilize when approaching a patient, visitor, volunteer or fellow employee who is smoking on the campus. It is our hope that we can present a consistent message throughout the hospital.
Yes. This is a growing trend among hospitals nationwide to become completely tobacco-free and eliminate designated smoking areas. Within our Piedmont Healthcare system, Piedmont Newnan Hospital implemented its tobacco-free campus policy on January 1, 2012, Piedmont Fayette followed suit on May 21, 2012, and Piedmont Mountainside implemented theirs on January 1, 2013. Additionally, Piedmont Newton will also become a tobacco-free campus on November 17, 2016.
To assist Piedmont Atlanta Hospital employees who may elect to stop smoking, smoking cessation classes are available to employees and their spouses or domestic partners. To learn more about these classes, please contact Nita Cadic by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at 404.605.3564.
Additionally, there are several programs available to Piedmont Healthcare employees interested in quitting smoking. Smoking cessation programs that include comprehensive information and free resources include:
Visit the Smoking Cessation page of the Tobacco-Free Environment website on the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital Village for additional resources.
Visitors who wish to use tobacco must leave the hospital grounds in order to do so. Additionally, hospital employees will be trained to effectively counsel visitors on how to stop tobacco use. For more information on this training session, contact Bob Drumheller by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at 404.605.3554, or visit DCI to register.
The attending physician should assess and discuss the need for Nicotine Replacement Therapy or pharmacological quit aids with the patient, and if indicated, write an order for such an aid. Additionally, all patient representatives in the Patient Relations department will attend training on smoking cessation techniques to better understand what our patients are going through in their struggle to quit smoking.
A physician's order to allow a patient to smoke ("a smoke break") will not be honored.
Patients who leave the hospital against the physician's order not to use tobacco products will be considered to have left against medical advice. If a patient requests to leave against medical advice, the nurse or other primary caregiver is to contact the attending physician immediately and follow hospital policy (#2057) for patients who request to leave AMA.
The tobacco-free policy is an Environment of Care policy which affects all patients, visitors and volunteers and employees. All medical staff, employees and volunteers are empowered and responsible for using the appropriate enforcement protocol for occasions when any person uses tobacco products on the hospital campus. With regard to employees, the hospital policy will be reinforced by current HR policies governing appropriate dress and use of work time and will be enforced by hospital leadership and HR personnel.
To assist employees in approaching patients and visitors who are smoking on hospital grounds, enforcement tools will be provided on the Communications page of the Tobacco-Free Environment website on the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital Village.

COMMERCE CITY Colo. (Thursday February 4 2010) – U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley announced today that Colorado Rapids forward Conor Casey is among the 23 players named to the training camp roster that will gather on February 10 at U.S. Soccer's National Training Center at The Home Depot Center in Carson Calif.
The group comprised entirely of domestic-based players will prepare for the USA's second match of 2010 a friendly against El Salvador on February 24 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Fla. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN Classic and TeleFutura beginning at 5 p.m. MT. Fans can also follow the game live via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and at twitter.com/ussoccer.
Casey has 19 career caps with the National Team and scored his first two international goals in the U.S.'s 2010 World Cup qualifying win against Honduras on October 10 2009 that clinched a trip to South Africa for the Americans. He also has tallied one assist in international play. Following his participation in the National Team's training camp earlier this year he played 30 minutes against Honduras on January 23 in the USA's first match of 2010.
"These are important opportunities for these players as we continue to formulate our plans for the roster for the World Cup said Bradley. "This camp and the game against El Salvador provide a chance for the coaching staff to get one more long look at this group. El Salvador demonstrated during World Cup qualifying that they are a difficult team to beat so we expect a good match. We had great fan support in our last visit to Raymond James Stadium and we are looking forward to getting back to Tampa."
The match against El Salvador will be one of the last games before the 2010 FIFA World Cup roster is named in May and gives the group a final chance to make an impression on Bradley's coaching staff with an eye towards South Africa.
Following the El Salvador match the United States will play third-ranked Netherlands on March 3 in Amsterdam allowing the U.S. to face one of the top teams in the world prior to the start of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Kickoff at the Amsterdam ArenA is set for 8:30 p.m. local time (12:30 p.m. MT) and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Galavision. Fans can also follow along on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and at twitter.com/ussoccer.

Looking for parents of Joseph Henry Harrison Andrews of AL
My grandfather was Joseph Henry Harrison Andrews. I know his mother's name was Elizabeth but maiden name is unknown. I got this from 1870 census of Mobile, AL. I have no idea what Joseph's father's name was. Joseph was born in 1864 supposedly in AL, even though 2 of his sisters stated on 2 different census records, that they were born in La.
I feel that Joseph's father might have been in the Civil War and was killed, since the 1870 census states that Elizabeth (the mother) was head of household. Also, one of Joseph's sisters married in 1872 at age 14 and Elizabeth, the mother, stated that she was the only surviving parent.
Any help would be appreciated. Joseph's sisters were named Martha, Sarah and Emma. Martha married a Cambell 1st, then a Miles 2nd., Sarah married a Mobley, and Emma married a Sorenson.
Thanks. Della
Mathias Whitman and descendants
My Whitman's started out with name Wedingman, per Dutch Fork genealogy. But it was spelled "Whitman" when they came over on the ship Elizabeth, from Rotterdam in 1733. The name is spelled in many different ways,Wedingman, Wedaman, Whiteman, Whitman, but my family spells theirs WHITMAN.
Johannes (son of Mathias) and Barbara (?) Wedingman lived in Dutchman's Creek area of Union (Chester County) District.
Their children were Christopher, David, Peter, John and Christian.
Christopher spelled his name "Weedaman"; David, Peter and Christian spelled their names "Wedeman"; John spelled his "Wedaman".
Christopher also named a son Christopher who spelled name "Whitman". This son Christopher is the father of my ggg grandfather Samuel Whitman. Samuel married Polly LaGrone. Polly was the dau. of John Adam Whitman and Mary Magdalene Houseal.
Samuel Whitman and Polly LaGrone Whitman had a son, William Whitman that married Harriet Scarbrough. If anyone knows who Harriet's parents were, I sure would appreciate some help with this.

Swiss watch brand Mido has drawn inspiration from the Coliseum in Rome to create the Mido All Dial, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. To mark the event, Mido has created a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. Drawing inspiration from eternal Rome; the Coliseum is engraved on the case back of this COSC-certified chronometer, and the dial, with its characteristic contours, indicates the hours with – what else - Roman numerals.
The COSC-certified chronometer features an extremely accurate ETA 2836-2 automatic movement with a power reserve of around 38 hours. 42mm in diameter, the dial exhibits contours apparently reminiscent of those imagined by the architects of the Coliseum. Its anthracite centre with a sunray satinated finish creates the main focal point. In an attractive reference to Mido's colour, the Roman numerals are orange, as are the applied indexes and hands treated with Super-LumiNova®. An anti-reflecting sapphire crystal treated on both sides makes for easy legibility. The All Dial also features a screw down crown.
Water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft), this model comes with a stainless steel bracelet with a satin and polished finish.
About Mido
Part of the mighty House of Swatch, Mido was founded in Switzerland by Georges Schaeren in 1918. Today, Mido is based in the town of Le Locle, in the heart of the Swiss Jura mountains. The name Mido comes from the Spanish 'Yo mido', meaning 'I measure'.
Mido's ambition is to produce watches that possess characteristics typical of the quality and careful craftsmanship of a Swiss watch, namely timepieces endowed with mechanical movements that are wound either by hand or automatically.
The image of the brand is timeless, classic clean-cut and refined. Mido's philosophy is to combine timeless design with functionality rather than following fashion. The objective is to create timepieces in high-quality materials, endowed with high-precision movements and offering exceptional water-resistance, in the spirit of sustainable development.
Movement: Automatic ETA 2836-2 certified COSC Chronometer, 11½''', Ø25.60 mm, height: 5.05 mm, 25 jewels, 28,800 A/H, INCABLOC and NIVACOURBE shock-absorber, NIVAFLEX NM mainspring, ANACHRON balance spring, GLUCYDUR balance wheel. Finely decorated Chronometer movement with blued screws, decorated oscillating weight with Geneva stripes and engraved Mido logo. Function HMSD+Day. Adjusted on 5 different positions for a high accuracy. Min. 38 hours power reserve.
Case: Stainless steel 316L, 2 pieces, sapphire crystal with an anti-reflecting treatment on both sides, screwed crown and case back, special engraved case back with the Coliseum and serial number, water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft).
Bracelet: Stainless steel 316L with stainless steel folding clasp.
Dial: Sunray satinated anthracite centre, logo and indexes individually applied, indexes with orange Super LumiNova®, fine painted Roman numbers, date at 3 o'clock.
Hands: Diamond polished, with orange Super-LumiNova® for easy readability at night.

Can i update? the license free audio package?
I'm stuck on "Verifying Final Cut Pro" Anyone know how to solve this???
Never mind, solved it by being patient haha. Just keep it open when it is verifying the app.
Hi Ching Liu, you're awesome! i hope you could also do an FCP crack which will run on Yosemite.
I've installed it, seems good so far. I've got Yosemite and it initially said something like the disk image was damaged and it wouldn't open, but if you go to you're having the same problem go to:
System preferences - Security & Privacy - General - Allow apps downloaded from - select "Anywhere"
Also should say be ready for a wait on the initial verification, I've heard others have to wait every time but for me it's only been the once.
Thanks to Ching_Liu.

Several questions in CMS's 3rd quarter Q&As deal with pressure ulcers and M1308.
The highlights (in my words, not CMS's!):
- Should a muscle flap be reported in M1308 as a current pressure ulcer? No. It is a surgical wound (as are skin advancement flap, or rotational flap)
- If the pressure ulcer has a skin graft, how is it treated? Not as a surgical wound but as unstageable until it heals, then Stage III or IV.
- How do you report a Stage III that is closing to the point of a pinpoint? As a Stage III …

Farmers: Apple crop booming, pumpkins struggling
Farmers hope to make up for nearly 50 percent loss in business
Sunday marks the start of fall, and many people are planning to visit area farms to pick apples and pumpkins. But while the apple crop is booming, farmers told 12 News the pumpkins are struggling.
Danielle and Jesse Mitchell made the trip from Grays Lake, Ill., for some apple picking fun at the Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago.
"It looks great. We can't wait to eat them," said Danielle Mitchell.
Mike Bauer, co-owner of the Elegant Farmer, said around the same time last year, they were pretty much picked thin because of a late frost and summer drought. Now they're back on track and hoping to make up for a nearly 50 percent loss in apple business last year.
"We got a very good crop this year, a lot of apples. I've never seen it this full," said Bauer.
The pumpkins, on the other hand, are off to a rough start.
"Last year, I had a bumper crop of pumpkins. This year (is) not so good. I just didn't get the growth, but we have them out in the field and there's still quite a few to pick from," said Bauer.
The Elegant Farmer is open for apples and pumpkins picking on weekends until Oct. 26.

In honor of Veteran's Day, here are links to an interesting sheet of Marine autographs. These men all served with my father in the 4th Marine Division during WWII. His unit fought on Saipan and Iwo Jima in the Pacific Theater.
Almost all of the men who signed included at least a partial hometown address which may be helpful to families doing research, especially in light of the upcoming release of the 1940 U.S. Census.
