Ten Fun Facts: Forgotten Women - Famous and Infamous
Cassie Chadwick, Swindler Extraordinare
Each week I set out to research and document ten "fun facts" on a topic loosely based on the two books I've reviewed that week. "Loosely" being the operative word.
This week I reviewed League of Wives, Heath Hardage Lee's inspiring story of the persevering wives of American POWs and MIAs during the Vietnam War, and Josh Levin's The Queen, an in-depth reporting on Lynda Taylor. Levin's book tells of how Taylor was made famous as the "welfare queen" of Ronald Reagan's many speeches, and of how the fight against "welfare fraud" was used by many politicians to further their careers.
Both books focus on women as their protagonists. In both books the women are strong, facing adversity but in the end coming out on top.
In Lee's book the wives of Vietnam War POWs and MIAs press on against their own government to fight for and win the release of their captured husbands, and the accounting for those missing in action. Well known in their time, the wives and their story had faded into the background until Lee's book came out.
In Levin's book, despite a lengthy career of crime, including a few stints in prison, Linda Taylor dies a free woman. A full accounting of all the lies, swindles and more that she committed may never be known, and she did not face justice for most of her crimes. The subject of more than one national news report in the late 1970s and early 80s, Taylor largely faded from the headlines until Levin's book brought her full story to light.
So, for this week's Ten Fun Facts, here are ten women or groups of women,, well known in their time but mostly forgotten today. The list includes five famous for fighting long odds to make the world a better place, and five infamous for their careers of crime:
Mostly Forgotten Famous Women
Inez Milholland - Born in 1886, Vassar educated Inez Milholland became a lawyer in New York when few women were admitted to the bar. She championed many worthy causes, including prison reform and equality for African Americans. She gained fame as a suffragette. From her first appearance as part of a woman's march in 1911 Milholland quickly became the face of woman's suffrage, dubbed by the press "The Most Beautiful Suffragist". She died on a speaking tour for the National Woman's Party in 1916, of "pernicious anemia", so unfortunately she did not live to see the right to vote granted to women nationally with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Carl Sandburg and Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote poems about her after her death, but over time her fame has faded.
Rani Lakshmi Bai - Rani (Queen) Lakshmi Bai ruled the princely state of Jhansi in North India during the mid-1800s, when India had fallen under British rule. When her husband the Maharaja fell ill in 1853 he adopted a child and had the adoption witnessed by British representatives. He died the next day. Lord Dalhousie, then Governor-General of India refused to recognize the adopted child as a rightful heir and moved to annex Jhansi to a neighboring state. The widowed queen appealed to London, but her appeal was denied. The state jewels were seized, and she was ordered to relocate. Instead, she assembled an army and in 1857 led a rebellion against British rule. She ruled Jhansi until her death in battle in 1858. Because of her courage and ability to fend off the British, she became an icon of independence for the next generation of Indians.
Mary Edwards Walker - The only woman to be awarded the Medal of Honor, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker graduated from Syracuse Medical College in 1855. Her first practice, alongside her doctor husband, failed because the public would not accept a female physician. At the start of the Civil War she joined the Union Army as an unpaid volunteer surgeon. She was then commissioned as the first female US Army surgeon in 1863. In 1864 she was captured and held prisoner by the Confederates until released in a prisoner exchange. In 1865 she was awarded the Medal of Honor based on the recommendation of Generals Sherman and Thomas. Well known in her day for her service to her country and her habit of wearing men's clothing, Mary Walker died peacefully at her home in 1919.
French Female Spies of WWII - During World War II 38 French women worked with British Special Operations as spies inside Vichy France. Ten were executed by the Nazis. One was sent to a concentration camp, but survived. Among the women, Andree Borrel and Lise de Baissac were the first to parachute into France. Borrel recruited resistance fighters, organized parachute drops, and attacked German infrastructure. She was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and executed in 1944. Information about the women was classified, though some of them became publicly known. A 1950 movie called Odette celebrated the wartime exploits of one of the women, Odette Sansom, though their fame has faded with time.
The Mirabal Sisters - Beginning in 1930 Generalissimo Trujillo ruled the Dominican Republic with an iron fist. His callous rule included bribery, murder, rape and torture. He made the mistake of making unwanted sexual advances to Minerva Mirabal. Rebuffed by her, he had his officers make life difficult for her and her two sisters. In response, in 1959 the Mirabals founded "The Fourteenth of June" a revolutionary recruiting effort dedicated to overthrowing the dictator. The Mirabal Sisters were jailed, tortured and raped more than once by Trujillo's army, but they continued their efforts. Finally in November of 1960 the secret police attacked them while traveling home. They were beaten and killed, and put back in their car which was then pushed off a cliff. Newspapers claimed the sisters were victims of an automobile accident, but many believed they had been murdered. Their deaths became a turning point against Trujillo, who was assassinated in 1961. Still well known and celebrated within the Dominican Republic, the sisters are little known outside the country.
Mostly Forgotten Infamous Women
The Poillon Sisters - In the 1920s, many small town girls, turned "flappers" made their way to the big cities only to be victimized by designing men. The Poillon sisters turned the tables however. From 1900 through the early 1930s they became known as the "Terrible Sisters", dating wealthy men and skipping out on bills from fancy hotels all over New York. When caught they'd claim the wealthy men promised to pay. In 1902 one of the sisters sued a wealthy New Yorker for $250,000 for breach of promise to marry. Their swindling ways mostly worked for them, because, as they said in the marriage case, the "had to goods" on many prominent New Yorkers. Their antics put their names in newspapers across the country. When one of the sisters died in 1935 their slide into obscurity began, leaving the Poillon sisters mostly forgotten today.
Sweetheart Scammers - So-called sweetheart, or romance, scams hit the news about once a year. Today, we mostly associate sweetheart scams with online dating sites. But sweetheart scams are not new, and can happen offline as well. For example, in 2013 Samantha Pham was convicted of swindling a 67 year old man out of over $100,000. In this case, she'd met her victim in person. But, when she was apprehended by police and her case publicized, six other men came forward to say she'd swindled them as well, after they had met her online through match.com. Pham spent most of her loot gambling. Altogether police determined that she'd gambled away at least $1 million dollars in a three year period.
Rita Crundwell - In 2012 Rita Crundwell, the chief financial officer in Dixon, IL, best known as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, was arrested for embezzlement. Originally charged with stealing $30 million dollars, the final tally came in at over $53 million. Crundwell had been stealing from the town for 30 odd years, and used the money to buy cars, homes, and championship racehorses. She was caught when she took vacation and the person filling in for her noticed suspicious transactions in several city accounts.
Harriette Walters - Rita Crundwell took the municipal embezzlement crown from Harriette Walters, who was sentenced in 2009 for stealing nearly $50 million from the District of Columbia. Walters had served as tax manager for the district for 20 years, and used her position to issue millions of dollars in bogus tax refunds to herself, family members and friends.
Cassie Chadwick - By far one of the most famous female swindlers in her time had to be Cassie Chadwick, but she's seldom heard about today. From 1902 to 1904 Chadwick successfully posed as the daughter of Andrew Carnegie and used that supposed connection to swindle one bank after another out of at least $630,000, worth $16.5 million today. That was just the last and most successful swindle she pulled off, having embarked on a career as a con artist in 1870, at the age of 13. She was eventually caught for the Carnegie swindle and served a 10 year sentence. Carnegie himself attended her trial, and observed that the whole affair could have been avoided if anyone involved had bothered to talk to him.
So there they are - the famous and the infamous. Do you have a story of a once famous woman mostly forgotten today? Leave your comment below.

The Official Home Of The Waterloo Black Hawks
Dupaco Cowbell Cup Series Grows
By WBH, 09/11/19, 12:30PM CDT
Hawks Have Claimed the Cup Three-Straight Years
The Dupaco Cowbell Cup Series will be bigger than ever during the 2019/20 season, as the Waterloo Black Hawks, Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, and Dubuque Fighting Saints announced on Wednesday.
This season, the three teams will each host eight home games counting toward the title. The new schedule is an increase from 2018/19 when each club played six home games in the series. Also, for the first time, every game pitting the Hawks against the RoughRiders or Fighting Saints – plus Dubuque versus Cedar Rapids – will factor into awarding the trophy which represents success in the head-to-head matchups between northeast Iowa's USHL teams. In prior seasons, an unbalanced schedule has meant some pre-designated meetings between the teams were not counted.
Dupaco Community Credit Union has been the title sponsor of the Cowbell Cup series 2015/16 season. With offices located in Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, and other communities in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, Dupaco helps to improve the financial lives of its member-owners while making a positive difference in the places it serves.
"As the presenting sponsor of the Dupaco Cowbell Cup series, we're supporting three of the communities in which we have a strong presence of Dupaco Credit Union members," said Joe Hearn, President and CEO, Dupaco Community Credit Union. "Supporting community events and bringing value to our members are both important Dupaco initiatives. This partnership allows us to help provide excellent family-friendly events to our members and the community at large."
The Black Hawks have won the Dupaco Cowbell Cup for an unprecedented three consecutive seasons. Waterloo was 8-3-1 during the series last winter, edging the RoughRiders by two points. Since the Cowbell Cup was created in 2011/12, the Hawks have held the trophy four times.
Points for the Dupaco Cowbell Cup will be awarded based head-to-head results (a complete schedule of Dupaco Cowbell Cup games appears below): two for a win and one for an overtime or shootout loss. The first game during the series will be when Waterloo visits Cedar Rapids on Friday, October 11th, while the first matchup at Young Arena is scheduled against Dubuque on Friday, November 22nd.
Tickets are on sale now for all games on the 2019/20 Black Hawks home schedule. Season tickets, half-season plans, and Seven Game Voucher Packs are also available; for more details, call the Black Hawks at (319) 232-3444.

can people with all skin types get vein treatment?
» Watch Next Video by Deborah L. Manjoney, M.D. - What is the HCG diet?
Can people of all skin types get vein treatment? Answer: Certainly they can because people of all skin types can get vein problems. So anybody can get varicose veins regardless of skin color and skin type. Then they can also develop complications of those vein problems as well. They we perform treatment of varicose veins in our office is through laser treatment. We are able to close the veins from the inside after we inserted laser into the vein. This is not affected by the color of the skin because we are not doing the laser from the surface. Now, when we treat spider veins or smaller veins on the surface of the skin, you may choose to only use our gold standard of injections sclerotherapy to treat veins of the darker skinned patient or we may occasionally use a laser on the surface to treat spider vein in addition to sclerotherapy for people with fairer skin.

Underwater. In the air. On the ground. A Navy SEAL is trained to operate in almost any environment, no matter how seemingly inhospitable.
Students learned about the life of a SEAL when lieutenant John Waggoner visited Gorham Fayette middle school last month for a question-and-answer session. The Sandusky native is a friend of Fayette teacher Brittan Bosco, who arranged for the visit.
Lt. Waggoner recently returned home from a tour of duty in Iraq, where he and his team carried out assignments in locations spanning the entire embattled country. He spoke much about his experiences in the Middle East, but as a 10-year armed forces veteran, he had tales to tell of serving on every continent except Antarctica. Some of his most interesting stories occurred on his home soil.

"The Essentials of Criminology: A Student-Oriented Approach to Teaching Crime Theory" is a readable, relevant overview of criminological theories and their use in understanding, explaining, and responding to crime. It provides foundational knowledge and engages students through real-life examples and scenarios. In contrast to many standard textbooks which tend to overwhelm both instructors and students with dozens of theories, The Essentials of Criminology focuses on select theories, exploring them in depth. Principal categories of theory covered in the text include: Neo-Classical Theories (Crime as a Choice)Structure Theories (Crime as a result of Societal Environment, Values, Stressors, and Subculture) Process Theories (Crime as a result of Individual Learning, Associations, and Social/Self Control) Conflict Theories (Crime as a result of the Unequal Distribution of Power) Developmental Theories (Crime as a Career) The book also examines how drug use, abuse, and addiction are entwined in criminal behavior. Summaries throughout the text provide quick reference and aid retention. Recommended assignments give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned through independent academic research, critiques, and projects and presentations. "The Essentials of Criminology" is written for one-semester courses in criminology, criminal justice, and applied crime theory, and designed so that all the material in the text can be adequately and thoughtfully covered. Lisa C. Coole earned her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology at Bridgewater State College and her Master's Degree in Criminal Justice at Northeastern University. She is currently an Associate Professor and the Department Chair of the Social Science Department at Massasoit Community College in Brockton and Canton, Massachusetts, where she teaches courses in sociology, criminology, and the sociology of deviance. She is also a Visiting Associate Professor at Bridgewater State University, teaching in both the Sociology and Criminal Justice departments.

C.D. Hallock has a long standing history of conducting safe operations on and off-airport. Through its ownership by FSM Group, a leading multidisciplinary professional services firm that provides into-plane fueling services, M & O, engineering and project management services to the aviation industry in North America, C.D. Hallock has extensive experience and knowledge of safety training required for an efficient, accident-free operation.
C.D. Hallock brings decades of experience in the safe transportation of Jet-A fuel for airline and general aviation clients. Our commitment to safety and reliability is engrained throughout the organization, from management to frontline drivers.
Safety is of paramount importance to our team. Our fuel trucks and trailers are approved by the United States Department of Transportation. C.D. Hallock performs daily truck and trailer inspections along with regular, comprehensive field safety audits and one and five-year trailer inspections.
We provide an extensive safety training program for new employees, in addition to annual and ongoing programs.
C.D. Hallock transports Jet-A for use in turbo-fan, turbo-jet and turbo-prop engines. Our stringent quality assurance program ensures that the fuel we deliver is certified and conforms to ASTM requirements specified for fuel grade, type, and quantity. A crucial requirement of a fueling operation is the delivery of clear and bright fuel that is free of contaminants.
At time of delivery and prior to connecting truck discharge hoses, our drivers review fuel delivery documentation and procedures with facility operators to ensure satisfactory fuel receipt. Once the review has been completed, truck unloading hoses and fittings are inspected for deficiencies, pending failures and cleanliness prior to connection to airport facility receiving connections. Prior to fuel testing and unloading of the transport truck, the truck is required to sit for a minimum of ten minutes with the tank internal valves open.
C.D. Hallock is committed to providing efficient cost-effective delivery of bulk aviation fuel.
C.D. Hallock's Emergency Response Plan (ERP) addresses the control, containment and collection of fuels during the loading and unloading process. Persons responding to fuel spills, especially Class I and II liquids, are trained in the hazards and properties of those chemicals. We believe that comprehensive training is vital for the safety of our drivers as well as other persons and property in the vicinity of the release. The objective of the ERP is to meet regulatory and client requirements, and to provide guidance to our drivers for the safe collection of fuels accidentally released.

Weather was good - first 3 days very hot with sunshine.
After that was mix of cloud and sun but still quite warm - got very windy on one day which made it a bit chillier.
Was very relaxing and the perfect getaway for a week.
Resort was very quiet, but I found enough to do and explored some of the nearby coves and nature walks.
Lovely hotel with superb staff - Hotel Sagitario Playa.
Some good bars still open late season; Jenny's Bar, El Vero and the Blarney Stone which was frequented mainly by locals, which was great.

Jocquez Bruce takes a 53-yard outside run to the end zone during the first quarter to put South-Doyle up 20-0 over Heritage.
By Adam Sullivan
It's not often that Head Coach Clark Duncan of South-Doyle offers no advice for his team to improve upon. So far this year, South-Doyle has executed an awesome display of high-octane running and stingy defense that is difficult to critique.
After Friday night's shutout in Blount County, Coach Duncan offered this to his post-game speech: "I don't know how many teams in the state of Tennessee are undefeated tonight, but I know South-Doyle is one of them!" South Doyle advances to a 3-0 record, the strongest opening since 2001, after the 40-0 win over Heritage,while Heritage falls to 0-3.
The game started with both teams punting on their opening series. Heritage had to punt from within their end zone, giving South-Doyle poise to score their first touchdown. Brody Rollins took the snap and ran it 32 yards to give the Cherokee's a 7-0 lead. On the ensuing possession, with South-Doyle on defense, Jocquez Bruce stripped the ball from a Heritage running back and returned 30 yards for another touchdown, just 11 seconds after their first touchdown.
Two minutes later, Jocquez Bruce, the quick sophomore,scored an offensive touchdown on a 53 yard run to pute South-Doyle up 20-0 after a missed extra point. South-Doyle's defense did not give up a single first down through the first quarter. Coach Duncan was quick to praise the defense, "We're so physical upfront, it's exciting that they can play the run the way they do and put pressure on the quarterback. "
South-Doyle's only apparent weakness is special teams, and they attempted get some game-time practice with a fake punt on fourth and six in the second quarter. Jacob Faucette, the typical passing quarterback for the Cherokee's, took the snap on the fake punt and hit sophomore Brandon Duplantis for a 42-yard touchdown pass. To put the Cherokee's up 27-0. Brody Rollins, the quarterback who has routinely has acted as a running back, sealed the half with a 27-yard run to put South-Doyle up 33-0 at halftime.
Rollins would deliver a final running touchdown in the third quarter for 44-yards after he kept the ball on what was supposed to be a designed pitch.
South-Doyle faces a real challenge this week at Morristown West, a perennial powerhouse in AAA District 2. Morristown West is 3-1 with their first loss coming against Science Hill. Coach Duncan knows the upcoming week is a true test of his team. "Morristown West is a huge game. We're looking to not just get into the playoffs, but we want home field advantage. You've got to beat the Morristown West's and Sevier County's," said Coach Duncan.
After the game, defensive line coach Jeff Bryant was quick to share in the team's excitement over both the strong start and the shutout. "It's been a long time since we've been 3 and 0. We need to stay focused this week and ready to come to work with a solid game-plan. Morristown West is good," said Jeff Bryant. He added, "We've got a few kids that are hurt and it'd be good to have everyone back."
South-Doyle travels to Morristown West Friday night while Heritage makes the short trip to Maryville.

Q: What are syntax differences between bash and dash? I just realized that in current Ubuntu version /bin/sh is no more symlinked to bash (as it used to be for many years), but to dash instead. I wonder what are the actual syntax differences between those two shells and how big is the probability that a shell script written with bash in mind won't work under dash. Can anybody point me to a good and clear description of differences between these two?

A: A simple rule of thumb is: if your script was written in bash, do not assume it will work in dash. A full list of differences is beyond the scope of a simple Q&A, but essentially, dash is a POSIX shell, so it implements what is described in the POSIX specification for the shell language and only that.
Here are the common bashisms I most often fall afoul of:

*

*[[: the [[ condition ]] construct isn't supported by dash, you need to use [ ] instead.

*== : to test if two values are equal, use = in dash since == is not supported.

*source: the POSIX command for sourcing a script is .. The source builtin is a bash alias to the standard ., so always use . file instead of source file.

*shopt: this is a bash builtin that sets certain non-standard options. Not supported by dash.

*$RANDOM: this is set to a random number on each use in bash, but doesn't work in dash.

By far the most common problem is the lack of [[ support. You can find a more comprehensive list on the Ubuntu Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh

Structure cristalline modulaire (Fr). Struttura cristallina modulare (It). モジュール結晶構造 (Ja).
A modular crystal structure is a structure built by periodically juxtaposing one or more types of modules, which are three-dimensional but less than triperiodic objects that can ideally be described as cuts from a (real or hypothetical) structurally and chemically homogeneous parent structure: the archetype.
The symmetry of the modular structure is described by an ordinary space group, whereas the building modules possess only a subperiodic group; the operations mapping different modules are partial operations.
The modules can be obtained from chemically different archetypes: the resulting structures are known as polyarchetypal structures (diarchetypal being the most frequent case) and are evidently also heterochemical (different composition) with respect to each of the archetypes. When instead the modules are obtained from the same archetype, they are known as monoarchetypal structures.
The generation of a series of structures from the periodic juxtaposition of modules is obtained by varying the relative orientation and/or position of adjacent modules. This juxtaposition in monoarchetypal structures may or may not promote a chemical change at the interface between two modules: the resulting structures are thus heterochemical or isochemical respectively.

Baby sleep is stressful. As a mom, you care so much when your kid cries, and you want them to get good rest. There are magical babies that sleep through the night at a few months old. And then there are my babies. My husband has always urged me to let my babies cry it out. Every time, when they're like a year or so and still not sleeping well, he reminds me that if I had just let them cry it out earlier, this could all be avoided. The pediatrician basically says the same thing.
But for me, for each kid, I couldn't pull the trigger. I kept on psyching myself out to do it, even promised my husband I would, but I never did. I felt guilt on top of my guilt. Clearly it was the right thing to do; I was so weak! Looking back, however, I have no regrets.
They tell you if you don't sleep train your child, they'll never learn to sleep through the night. I don't believe it. I have nothing against moms who let their kids cry it out. In fact, I have tons of respect for them; they're stronger than me. My heart breaks. I just can't.
I am telling you here today, though, if you feel like you can't, you don't have to.
With my first child, I did a modified CIO.
When she was five months old and already in the crib, I picked a time that was acceptable for me to let her cry every time she went to sleep. That time was NOT two hours. It was more like 15-20 minutes. It did work, in the sense that she would fall asleep after that time. Sometimes, if the time had passed and she was still crying, I would check on her to make sure she hadn't pooped or lost her paci or something. And then let her cry again. The down side to this was that she did cry every time I put her to sleep for maybe a few months, but somehow I was able to accept this better than a full-on CIO. My firstborn is now five and wakes up some nights if she has a bad dream or growing pains.
My second child had heart surgery at birth, so I didn't want him to CIO, either.
Read Jac's story here. My concern was that I couldn't distinguish between the "I'm mad because I don't want to sleep" cry and the "I'm upset because something is wrong with me" cry. He slept pretty well initially, but at four months or so he was waking up several times a night. I just indulged him. Jac now wakes up maybe once every couple of weeks in the middle of the night.
My third child – oh, my third child.
This booger had a nine month stretch from maybe 6 months old to over a year where he woke up 8-10x a night. I still refused to let him CIO. This guy's issue was that every time he woke up a little, he wouldn't go back to sleep unless I nursed him. Of course, during the period he was biting, it was a nightmare.
Finally, at thirteen months, I decided I was okay with weaning him. My husband was a huge help. We figured if I was in the room at night it would never happen, so we slept separately for a bit, with my husband sleeping in the room with the baby. That first night away from me, he cried for a little bit, but not nearly as much as we expected. Once the nectar of heaven was out of the picture, he just adjusted. A few weeks later, I came back into the room, and he was obviously weaned and no longer waking in the middle of the night. Now he wakes up probably a few times a week.
Wow! You haven't slept yourself in years. You are stronger than you think. You and your husband dealt with the babies not sleeping. A lot of people wouldn't be able to handle things as well as you did!
These are some great tips. It's incredible how different every child is. My son is 17 months old, and is still sleeping in our bed and nursing through the night lol..
I SOOO regret letting my oldest CIO. Back then, I just didn't know any differently and was following the doctor's suggestion. It really is heartbreaking to hear the crying, and man…wish I could have a do-over.
I feel like she probably is fine, but it does a number on us mamas!
I can't bring myself to do it either. I usually give her about 10 to 15 minutes but after that I have to rock her. I've tried 40 to 45 minutes it was excruciating.
They grow out of it!
I don't believe in letting them cry it out either, though of course to each their own. I believe that all kids are different. We do what's best for them and as mum's we kinda know instinctively what may or may not work for our kids, right?
Exactly! No judgments to moms who do, but we shouldn't feel like we have to if we don't feel right about it.
I checked on Izzy every 15-20 minutes as well to help her learn to go to sleep on her own. As a mom we def know what we are most comfortable with. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
This is true. Thanks for reading !
Im totally with you, I can hear my son cry for a little bit but not over 15-20 minutes. I also nurse and he use to wake several times at night to nurse and now I have just been not nursing him but maybe once. we do use a pacifier which will soothe him back to sleep.
I completely agree with you. Through 3 kids, I never did the cry it out. It's frustrating to expect children to sleep through the night at 2+ months. I feel it's a mother's role to console. It will not last forever. And even if it lasts for many years…that is the way it is. Embrace it head on and be there for the child. You can not spoil a baby.
That's exactly what I did with my third. Then he slept great! I put him in the room with my husband for a week. Did the trick!
Probably when I am thinking of weaning I shall try out your method.
We don't CIO either. Having a family bed was part of the solution for us. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it has worked really well for us. It was the only way we got to sleep! Another book to add to your list is "The No Cry Sleep Solution" by Elizabeth Pantley. It helped us a lot when our oldest was a baby and not sleeping well.
I feel like I dipped into that one, too. It's very familiar to me.


ATLANTA, Ga. � Behind a pair of even par performances from junior Sebastian Cappelen and freshman Nicolas Echavarria, the No. 9 Arkansas men�s golf team finished day one of the 2013 NCAA Championships in a tie for 14th at the Capital City Club in Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday.
Arkansas combined to shoot six-over par as a team on the Crabapple course and sit just seven strokes behind eighth place which would put the Razorbacks into the match play portion of the event and a chance to compete for the national championship.
Behind a near record-setting day by Jon Rahm (-9), Arizona State leads the team standings after 18 holes at 10-under par. No. 7 and host Georgia Tech fired six-under par as a team with No. 2 Alabama in third at five-under par. Illinois, who won the NCAA Fayetteville Regional, is fourth at four-under with No. 1 California in fifth at three-under par.

A few wobbles later, the Do and I fell in a green glop onto the carpet in our new house. I grabbed a stack of pillowcases and tried to clean it up. You can guess how well that worked. So, assessing my prospects, I slid as far under my bed as I could get. I figured I was buying myself at least 25 minutes of peace before the yelling started.
All of which makes me think that the people who've been comparing Congress to a bunch of 2-year-olds lately are dead-on. We all watched during the recent budget negotiations while they behaved like pouty babies fighting over the last Nutter Butter at the day care center.
But it's more than that. Normally in August, lawmakers go back to their districts to make nice with constituents. This year, though, an estimated 40 to 60 percent of members — from both parties and both houses — are planning none of the town hall meetings usual for the season.
When they skip recess, you know they must have dropped the Dippity-Do in a bad, bad place.
Here in U.S. Rep. Kay Granger's district, for instance, we expected her to come home, press the flesh, be seen, answer questions, just be available.
True, the question many people wanted to ask was why she and her peers let themselves get backed into a corner during the debt crisis by about a dozen extremist members of Congress who don't truly represent the beliefs of either party. We also wanted to ask what her ideas are about addressing the real crisis in this country — jobs and the lack thereof.
But Granger is nowhere to be found. I and others have tried to find out when she will make an appearance. We called her office. We checked everywhere we could think of for events she might attend. No luck.
It reminds me of the "Where's Waldo?" game. She isn't in her office. Staffers said she had no town halls scheduled, though they did say she would be doing some "by phone." Her workers let folks concerned over the budget/debt fiasco sign a sheet in her office.
Then there are those public servants who have the audacity to charge voters for the privilege of attending a town hall. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's only public recess meeting will be with the Rotarians, where the fee ("for food") is $15 to ask questions of the House Budget Committee chairman. Rep. Ben Quayle's idea of meeting with constituents was a $35-a-head luncheon with the Arizona Republican Lawyers Association.
Texas' own Jeb Hensarling, who will co-chair the budget "Supercommittee," spoke about the murky future of programs like Social Security and Medicare (without making any definitive statements about them) at a recent lunch at a posh Dallas country club. To quiz him about that would have cost $35 a head, $30 if you were a member. The protesters outside in the broiling heat — climate change? what climate change? — apparently misplaced their membership cards.
Rep. Joe Barton did hold some town hall meetings. At a recent Arlington event, the crowd was mainly American Dream Movement (MoveOn) folks and some Tea Partiers, plus a few others wondering about jobs as the critical component of a revamped economy.
Barton responded that it was OK to send jobs overseas. He said that was part of a free-market economy. But at least people didn't have to pay to hear him say it.
Granger's folks said they didn't know when that telephonic town hall would be scheduled. Then last week I received a notice of an "Alzheimer's Association Town Hall Meeting," set for Aug.31 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. It listed Granger among the distinguished guests. Those who attend will have the "opportunity to … give your input" regarding the disease.
But what about all the other topics? What about the senior citizens who don't suffer from Alzheimer's but who, without Social Security and Medicare, would suffer a severe lack of medical care, maybe even food?
We're still looking for a real Granger town hall meeting.

Q: How to add checkbox and label in the same cell of datagridview? Hi Programmers,
                 I need to add the checkbox and label in the same cell.I do know how to do that. I can make the datagridviewcolumn to checkbox but then it only shows the checkbox and no place to show label. Can anybody wake me up from this nightmare?
 Thanks in advance.

A: I don't believe this is possible with the out of the box CheckBoxCell.
Here is an implementation which subclasses the check box column and does some custom painting to draw the label. It is possible to extend this in various ways, such as offering binding for the label text (it currently requires the label text being set directly). My code borrows heavily from this forum post.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

public class MyDGVCheckBoxColumn : DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn
{
    private string label;

    public string Label
    {
        get
        {
            return label;
        }
        set
        {
            label = value;
        }
    }

    public override DataGridViewCell CellTemplate
    {
        get
        {
            return new MyDGVCheckBoxCell();
        }
    }
}

public class MyDGVCheckBoxCell : DataGridViewCheckBoxCell
{
    private string label;

    public string Label
    {
        get
        {
            return label;
        }
        set
        {
            label = value;
        }

    }

    protected override void Paint(Graphics graphics, Rectangle clipBounds, Rectangle cellBounds, int rowIndex, DataGridViewElementStates elementState, object value, object formattedValue, string errorText, DataGridViewCellStyle cellStyle, DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle advancedBorderStyle, DataGridViewPaintParts paintParts)
    {

        // the base Paint implementation paints the check box
        base.Paint(graphics, clipBounds, cellBounds, rowIndex, elementState, value, formattedValue, errorText, cellStyle, advancedBorderStyle, paintParts);

        // Get the check box bounds: they are the content bounds
        Rectangle contentBounds = this.GetContentBounds(rowIndex);

        // Compute the location where we want to paint the string.
        Point stringLocation = new Point();

        // Compute the Y.
        // NOTE: the current logic does not take into account padding.
        stringLocation.Y = cellBounds.Y + 2;

        // Compute the X.
        // Content bounds are computed relative to the cell bounds
        // - not relative to the DataGridView control.
        stringLocation.X = cellBounds.X + contentBounds.Right + 2;

        // Paint the string.
        if (this.Label == null)
        {
            MyDGVCheckBoxColumn col = (MyDGVCheckBoxColumn)this.OwningColumn;
            this.label = col.Label;
        }

        graphics.DrawString(
        this.Label, Control.DefaultFont, System.Drawing.Brushes.Red, stringLocation);

    }

}

Here is code showing the usage:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MyDGVCheckBoxColumn col = new MyDGVCheckBoxColumn();
    col.Label = "hippo";
    col.DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
    this.dataGridView1.Columns.Add(col);
    this.dataGridView1.RowCount = 5;

    foreach (DataGridViewRow row in this.dataGridView1.Rows)
    {
        if (row.Index % 2 == 0)
        {
            ((MyDGVCheckBoxCell)row.Cells[0]).Label = "kitten";
        }
    }
}
