Memorial DayHistory

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. There is also evidence that organized women's groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: a hymn published in 1867, "Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping" by Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication "To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate Dead" (Source: Duke University's Historic American Sheet Music, 1850-1920). While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it's difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. It is more likely that it had many separate beginnings; each of those towns and every planned or spontaneous gathering of people to honor the war dead in the 1860's tapped into the general human need to honor our dead, each contributed honorably to the growing movement that culminated in Gen Logan giving his official proclamation in 1868. It is not important who was the very first, what is important is that Memorial Day was established. Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.


Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis' birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.

In 1915, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields," Moina Michael replied with her own poem:

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

She then conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on Memorial day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war. She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends and co-workers with the money going to benefit servicemen in need. Later a Madam Guerin from France was visiting the United States and learned of this new custom started by Ms.Michael and when she returned to France, made artificial red poppies to raise money for war orphaned children and widowed women. This tradition spread to other countries. In 1921, the Franco-American Children's League sold poppies nationally to benefit war orphans of France and Belgium. The League disbanded a year later and Madam Guerin approached the VFW for help. Shortly before Memorial Day in 1922 the VFW became the first veterans' organization to nationally sell poppies. Two years later their "Buddy" Poppy program was selling artificial poppies made by disabled veterans. In 1948 the US Post Office honored Ms Michael for her role in founding the National Poppy movement by issuing a red 3 cent postage stamp with her likeness on it.
On January 19, 1999 Senator Inouye introduced bill S 189 to the Senate which proposes to restore the traditional day of observance of Memorial Day back to May 30th instead of "the last Monday in May". On April 19, 1999 Representative Gibbons introduced the bill to the House (H.R. 1474). The bills were referred the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Government Reform.

Inside Cleveland Clinic and the Secret of its Success

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: As the health care battle rages on, "On the Record" is doing what members of Congress should be doing during their recess, going to hospitals, checking them out, find out what works, what doesn't work. Today, we went to a hospital that works really well, the Cleveland Clinic, and we asked questions. We didn't talk to lobbyists or bureaucrats, we talked to doctors and people who work in the hospital every day. We even talked to patients. You'll see the amazing state-of-the-art technology this hospital has in moments.


But first we talked to Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, about what needs to be done to really fix health care in this country.

Menu Konteks tanpa “Open With”

Penggunaan software sejenis dalam satu computer ternyata berdampak segatif pada Windows, yakni asosiasi file Windows tidak teratur. Biasannya, program yang terakhir kali diinstal akan langsung memegang kendali atas semua file yang didukungnya.
Untuk membuka program yang lain, pengguna harus menggunakan menu “Open With..” yang terdapat pada menu konteks. Ketidakteraturan akan semakin parah, karena dari menu ini nantinya bisa dilakukan perubahan program standar secara bebas oleh siapa saja tanpa terkontrol.
Agar perubahan seperti ini tidak terjadi, kamu harus menonaktifkan menu “ Open with..” dari menu konteks Caranya:
1. Jalankan program Registry Editor melalui menu “Start “ lalu ketik regedit.
2. Mauklah ke subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With.
3. Klik ganda pada String Value (Default).
4. Hapus Value Data {09799AFB-AD67-IIdI-ABCD-00C04FC30936}.
5. Tutup Editror registry, lalu restart Windows.
6. setelah kamu merestart Windows, jalankan Windows Explorer, lalu klik kanan salah satu file kamu. Dijamin opsi “Open with..” akan menghilang dari Windows Explorer kamu.

Matikan fitur Auto Dial

Fitur Auto Dial bisa merugikan. Mengapa? Coba bayangkan jika kamu membuka suatu halaman web local di hard disk yang salah satu komponennya membutuhkan koneksi Internet. Fitur auto dial otomatis langsung membuat koneksi Internet untuk memenuhi permintaan tersebut. Bagaimana jika kamu tidak sadar bahwa koneksi Internet telah terbentuk dan dan kamu membiarkannya nganggur meski sebenarnya saat itu koneksi Internet tidak dibutuhkan? Tentu ini pemborosan besar.
Agar tidak terjadi seperti itu, non aktifkan fitur auto dial Internet Explorer. Carannya:
1. Klik “Start” kemudian ketik Regedit.
2. Pada jendela Registry Editor, masuk ke Key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings.
3. Pada bagian kanan jendela, cari DWORD Value bernama EnableAutodial.
4. Klik ganda DWORD Value EnableAutodial dan isi Value Data-nya dengan nilai 0.
5. Tutup window Registry Editor, lalu Restart computer.

BP Oil Spill Probes Find Deficiencies, Disagreements (Correct)

May 27 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc and Transocean Ltd. managers disagreed on how to proceed with work hours before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, and a review in 2007 found staff-training deficiencies, according to testimony at a Louisiana hearing.

The disagreement, which occurred about 11 hours before the April 20 blast that left a well gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico, ended with BP prevailing and a Transocean official “reluctantly” agreeing to proceed with work, Douglas Brown, Transocean’s chief mechanic for the vessel, said yesterday at the hearing conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Minerals Management Service.

Brown said he heard Jimmy Harrell, Transocean’s top rig manager on the Deepwater Horizon, leave the meeting saying, “Guess that’s what we have those pinchers for.” Brown said he took that as a reference to the shear rams on a piece of equipment called a blowout preventer, which are designed to clamp shut and cut off the flow of oil and gas through the drill pipe in the event of emergency.

The hearing is part of several federal investigations that are being held in Washington and Louisiana to determine the cause of the disaster.

An investigator for BP told staff of the House Energy & Commerce Committee that rig operators erred by releasing pressure in a “kill line” while pressure in a drill pipe remained at 1,400 pounds per square inch, according to a congressional memo dated May 25 and signed by Democratic Representatives Henry Waxman and Bart Stupak.

‘Fundamental Mistake’

“BP’s investigator indicated that a ‘fundamental mistake’ may have been made here because this was an ‘indicator of a very large abnormality,’” the lawmakers wrote in the summary prepared for members of the House panel, which will hold a hearing on the spill today. Waxman of California is the committee’s chairman, and Stupak of Michigan heads its investigations panel.

A review of the Deepwater Horizon rig in 2007 found staff training was deficient, along with “safety critical” items that were overdue, according to David McKay, a surveyor with Oslo-based Det Norske Veritas SA who testified at the hearing.

BP, based in London, yesterday began its most ambitious attempt to plug the leak by pumping mud-like drilling fluid into the well, according to a statement. The effort is aimed at tamping down the gusher of oil and natural gas and then sealing the well with cement. Success would bring to an end a leak that has poured millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and soiled at least 70 miles (113 kilometers) of coastline.

BP’s Higher Estimate

BP has estimated the well is leaking about 5,000 barrels of oil a day. A BP document shows it may be leaking about 14,000 barrels daily, U.S. Representative Edward Markey said yesterday.

The internal BP document from April 27 put a high estimate for the leak at 14,266 barrels a day, Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, said yesterday at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing. At the time, BP was saying publicly that its well was leaking 1,000 barrels a day, Markey said.

The congressional memo provides an account of events on the rig in the 24 hours before the explosion, based on the BP investigator’s interpretation. It doesn’t include information from Transocean, the owner of the rig, or Halliburton Co., the contractor involved in cementing the well.

‘Large Plume of Gas’

A BP safety official said yesterday that a gas plume developed at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on April 20 just before the explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered an oil leak still fouling the Gulf of Mexico.

“This was a pretty large plume of gas,” said Mark Bly, BP’s group head of safety and operations, during a briefing in Washington. “It was large enough that there was a high likelihood it would have ignited.”

An influx of gas at the deep-water well and a lack of recognition by employees that gas was rising up the well were among critical events before the explosion, according to a summary of the preliminary investigation by a BP team provided by the company at the Washington briefing.

Operators on the rig missed a series of warning signs, including indications that more fluid was flowing out of the well than was being pumped in, according to the congressional memo.

Five hours before the blast, a riser pipe had a loss of fluid, suggesting leaks. Four hours before, a system gained 15 barrels of fluid when 5 were expected, suggesting an “influx from the well,” according to the memo. Later, 41 minutes before the explosion, the pump was shut down and pressure unexpectedly increased.

The operators also had trouble with cement used to hold back gas in the well, and a step in the cementing process had to be repeated nine times, according to the memo. A test performed after cementing was complete “may not have been definitive.” The cement may have been contaminated, making it weaker than it was intended to be, according to the memo.

American Idol Finale: And the Winner Is...

tvguide.com
American Idol's Season 9 winner has been crowned.

Millions of votes were cast for finalists Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. Bowersox was the season's early favorite (57 percent of more than 4,500 voters in a TVGuide.com poll picked her to win), while DeWyze came into the finale with newfound momentum.

And so it was that when Ryan Seacrest read the results, DeWyze was the singer showered with confetti at the Nokia Theatre.

Asked how he felt to have won, DeWyze fought back tears and said, "I don't know. It's just amazing.

"Thank you guys so much for everything," he continued. "I love you guys. Crystal, I love you. I'm just so happy right now. I've never been so happy."

DeWyze closed the show performing U2's "Beautiful Day," which will be his first single.

Do you think America got it right?

Tiger Woods Nike Golf Commercial

Despite reports that Elin Nordegren will stand by husband Tiger Woods despite his cheating scandal, a source close to the Swedish model tells Pop Tarts that Nordegren is instead ready to end their five-and-a-half year marriage.

“Elin and Tiger have been talking daily now,” said our insider. “But it is mostly divorce talk."

Nordegren has apparently been meeting intensively with her divorce lawyer, and is expected to file for divorce from Woods.

Soon after news of Woods’ alleged affairs hit headlines in November, Nordegren purchased a property of her own on the West coast of Sweden. We’re now told that construction on the home has stepped up considerably over the past week, prompting speculation that Nordegren is preparing to move in as soon as possible.

The 30-year-old mother of two was also spotted boarding a private jet in Florida on Monday with their children and luggage in tow. It is believed she is spending time with friends and family in Sweden.
Despite dealing with her husband's infidelity while under intense media scrutiny, Nordegren is holding up relatively well considering the circumstances, added our source.

“She is just staying as strong as she possibly can,” the insider told Pop Tarts.

While Nordegren is playing mom and picking up the pieces of her personal life, it seems Woods is refocusing on his career. After placing fourth at the Masters, the pro golfer announced on his website that he will play the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina which takes place from April 26, 2010 until May 2, 2010.

And just hours after his estranged wife left the country, Woods apparently partied with pals at a local Orlando restaurant, RadarOnline reported.

How To Spot An Online Ticket Scam

Police have shut down 100 online ticket scam websites this month, by taking action through the organisation in charge of registering all web addresses; Icann (Internet Corporations of Assigned Names and Numbers).

Typically, however, these sites which sell fake tickets for events ranging from Bruce Springsteen concerts to the Olympic games are incredible difficult to shut down due to most of them being based offshore. As such, not only do many still remain but more will surely form to replace the fallen.

There are however simple steps you can take to help safeguard against potential online fraudsters:

- Does it seem too good to be true? Life can sometimes chuck you a nice surprise although more often than not if something looks too good to be true then you're going to be left disappointed. Alarm bells should start ringing if you've been endlessly searching for seats at the O2, then suddenly you stumble across a random site that appears to have exactly what you're looking for.

- Does the site look professional? While not necessarily an accurate indicator, I would be cautious of a site that promises premiership football tickets but looks like it knocked up in five minutes by a primary school child.

- Does the page have a page rank? This is one of my favourite methods of checking a sites potential legitimacy. Download and install the Google Toolbar (http:// toolbar.google.com) and this will then provide you with an immediate indication via a small sliding scale just under the address bar as to how 'important' Google believes the page you are currently viewing is. This level is established by monitoring the number of 'important' sites linking to the page in question; A ranking of zero would immediately indicate that the site is either new or that no other sites have seen it as worth linking to.

- Does the page have an Alexa rank? By downloading and installing the Alexa toolbar (www.alexa.com/toolbar allows anonymous usage statistics to be collected by a central server. This data can be used to create a massive database which ranks the popularity of various sites on the Internet which is displayed via a small scale within your browser. To demonstrate how this can be useful, consider that Ticket Master (one of the largest legitimate ticket sales sites) is currently ranked the 5,514th most popular on the entire Internet. This is no small achievement and it's likely they can be trusted unlike a site which claims to be 'The Biggest and Best on the Web' while ranking in at five millionth.

- Does the page include contact details? You can always try phoning them before you put your order through to talk to then about your order. If you get a dead dial tone, an incorrect number or it sounds like the guy is talking on a mobile in the pub then it's time to move on to another site.

- Does the site receive favourable reviews? Do a Google search for reviews of the site you are thinking about purchasing off; others will quickly rant if they have had problems and while all reviews should be taken with a pinch of salt this will quickly give you an idea as to whether the company is legitimate. Also, don't place too much importance on accreditation logos; the only time they're worth paying attention to is if it's a body you recognise that have their own website that can be used to confirm membership.

- Is their site secure? Ensure that when typing in your card details that you have been transferred to a secure server; this can be done by checking that 'https://' has replaced 'http://' in your address bad. Also, never pay by cheque; a credit card will give you added protection should anything go wrong.

Rianti Cartwright Tak Punya Target Menikah

Sebagai pasangan kekasih, Rianti Cartwright - Cas Alfonso Nainggolan suka keluar berdua menikmati kebersamaan. Seperti saat nonton konser Pitbull di Tennis Indoor Senayan beberapa waktu lalu. Mereka terlihat mesra, bersama beberapa teman yang lain.

"Kita ramai-ramai ke sini, udah pesen tiket udah dari minggu lalu. Jadi masih harga yang sama," ujar Rianti. Sebenarnya Rianti tidak begitu gandrung dengan Pitbull.

"Nggak banget, bagus untuk buat semangat aja. Kita di festival. Musiknya asik, di antara ABG juga kita," lanjutnya. Meskipun begitu, Rianti memuji aksi panggung Pitbull. "Nggak pernah capek dia. Gila deh," terangnya.

Tentang hubungan mereka berdua menikmati masa pacaran dulu. "Sejauh ini baik-baik aja," ungkap Rianti. Merekapun tidak tidak ingin cepat naik ke pelaminan. "Nggak dateline kok," canda Rianti.

Apa menunggu tahun depan? "Kita liat aja nanti, yang pasti kalau memang kalau akan terjadi, pasti terjadi. Doain aja, belum ada rencana. Doakan aja kalau memang tahun depan. Kalau emang udah waktunya, yah amin," pungkas Rianti sambil berlalu.

Tips Melindungi Mata di Depan Komputer

Bagi Anda yang mungkin sama seperti Saya, menghabiskan waktu ber jam-jam di depan komputer setiap harinya Anda perlu ingat untuk menjaga penglihatan Anda. sedikit tips saya untuk melindungi mata dari kerusakan saat berkomputer.

- jika Anda menggunakan komputer CRT / tabung. refresh rate yang rendah dapat membahayakan mata Anda. Gunakanlah refresh rate 75hz atau lebih, agar mata anda tidak rusak juga agar tidak cepat lelah.

caranya:
klik kanan pada dekstop>pilih properties>pada tab setting klik tombol Advanced

Pada tab monitor, tepatnya pada seksi Monitor setting ubah refresh rate monitor Anda menjadi 75 hz atau lebih (saya sendiri menggunakan 85hz). namun tidak semua monitor mendukunya. beri tanda centang pada 'hide modes...' agar refresh rate yang tidak di dukung monitor Anda tidak di tampilkan. jika sudah tekan ok. apabila setelah menekan tombol ok tampilan monitor Anda menjadi hilang artinya refresh rate yang Anda pilih tidak di dukung oleh monitor Anda. lansung saja tekan tombol escape/[Esc] agar setting barusan di batalkan.

- jangan lupa mengistirahatkan mata Anda dalam interval waktu tertentu. yang terbaik adalah melakukannya dengan singkat tapi sering. setiap 20 menit istirahatkan mata Anda dengan memandangi benda yang letaknya jauh (3-5 meter cukup) selama 20 detik.

-tips selanjutnya adalah tips standar yaitu:

~jarak antara mata dan monitor minimal 40 cm

~gunakan pencahayan yang cukup dan tidak redup

~posisi mata dan monitor berhadapan lurus

~seperti yang dikatakan sebuah iklan tetas mata, memandangi monitor atau televisi mengurangi frekuensi kedipan mata yang dapat menyebabkan mata menjadi kering, jadi coba untuk mengingatkan diri Anda untuk mengedipkan mata atau gunakan tetes mata.

Investment Tip: Invest in What You Know

All sorts of people have all sorts of advice how to make money. Some of it is good, and some of it is bad.

How do you sort out the difference?

No One Right Answer, but…

Obviously, having experience will help you sift through the bad opportunities to find the good ones, but even seasoned pros make mistakes. Just take a look at how many people that are old enough that they should be retiring, but they cannot.

There are several things that you can do, but one of the biggest things is to stick to investing in areas that you know.

Often, it’s tempting to jump into other waters. You hear many people talk about the next newest “hot thing.” They make it seem so exciting, and it is—until they lose their shirt.

I’m not saying that everyone will lose their shirt, but often more people will than will not.

Check out the dot com stocks of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. They were trading for absurd amounts. The problem was that the prices kept getting even higher. Was there no end? If I don’t get it now, I’ll miss my chance.

That’s right! You’ll miss your chance—to lose BIG TIME. By the time YOU are hearing about it, everyone else has, too.

Except…

When you know your area, you generally know well before anything gets reported. This makes sense, because it is YOUR expertise. It is a lot harder for you to overlook something when you’re fluent in it.

Let’s tie this into Real Estate

There are many awesome opportunities for great investment deals on Detroit properties. However, there are a lot of areas that offer more trouble than it’s worth. Unless you know the area, how can you know?

In fact, there are a lot of investors in different parts of the country and outside of it. Many of these investors see the numbers and become enamored with making great passive investment opportunities. They should, because there are a lot of great chances here.

However, if you do not know the area, you can make a bad mistake really quickly. You buy a property that really is burnt to the ground or it should be. Perhaps, you buy a beautiful looking home in an area that nobody wants to live.

If you don’t know an area, you need to find someone who does and is willing to help you. Then you can make a more educated decision, and that is your BEST protection against making a bad investment.

How to Get Your First Home Loan with Poor Credit

Buying a home for the first time can be exciting, but if you have poor credit, it can also be a challenge. One of the main factors that a mortgage lender considers when approving or denying an applicant for a loan is credit history. The good news is that if you have poor credit, there are subprime lenders that are willing to loan money to first-time home buyers with poor credit.

Find a subprime lender for a poor-credit loan.

Credit: alaska home image by Silke Wolff from Fotolia.com

Step 1

Find a subprime lender. A subprime lender is a lender that offers loans to those who do not have good credit. These are not your traditional banks and lenders so the fastest and easiest way to find a subprime lender is to contact a mortgage broker or search your local phone for mortgage lenders that specialize in subprime loans.

Step 2

Submit a mortgage application. Once you find a subprime lender, the next step is to apply for the mortgage. Even if you do not have a property chosen yet, you can submit a mortgage application and the subprime lender will approve you or deny you based on your personal financial information.

Step 3

Submit supporting documentation. You'll need to submit copies of your last two year's tax returns, the last two month's paycheck stubs and copies of the last two month's bank and brokerage account statements. These documents along with the information you supply on the mortgage application are used by the lender to qualify you for the mortgage.

How to Learn Real Estate Law

Real estate law involves dealing with both commercial and residential property, finalizing transactions and finding potential issues, looking into property regulations and boundaries. You can learn real estate law on your own.

Step 1

Research online law libraries. They provide a wealth of information, explaining the facets of law and providing further reading resources for you to look into.

Step 2

Take note of further resources that directly apply to the category of real estate law you’re looking into. If you are researching landlord-tenant law, for example, take note of all the resources you find on that subject. Studying all the information you can find will prove to be advantageous when you apply it in a real-life situation.

Step 3

Visit your state’s real estate commission. You’ll gain knowledge about real estate laws, regulations and requirements for licensing.

Step 4

Consider taking advantage of free real estate advice online. You can not only read online articles that keep you up-to-date on all of today’s real estate information, you can ask questions regarding home selling and buying to get answers from real estate professionals in online forums and on blogs kept by real estate professionals. Select your location and find professionals and stores of information close to you.

Step 5

Look into online universities with courses in real estate law. Courses might cover real estate contracts, closing property transactions and learning how to read a survey. You’ll be able to study from the comfort of home. There will more than likely be a small fee for each course you take.
