LOGAN, OH, October 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) What do a mayor, NASA, a postmistress and an Irish canal supervisor have in common? Logan, Ohio's 3rd Annual Tombstone Travels can answer that question. On October 27, 2012 Logan Town Center, along with community volunteer actors and docents, will tell these stories and more as the Old Logan Cemetery comes to life once again.
Logan's founding fathers and mothers are laid to rest in the community's first cemetery, which is also home to the town's oldest tree. Gifted storyteller, Rick Webb, will once again take on the tree's character, sharing compelling tales as "The Tree That Talks." And Webb's character has seen a lot over it's 600-year lifespan.
Just a few highlights include: The story of Apollo 7 astronaut Don Eisele's great-grandfather, a stone mason in Logan's early days whose handiwork endures in some of the grave stones in the Old Logan Cemetery. Ida Steinman became Hocking County's first postmistress in 1922, a post rarely held by a woman anywhere in the country at that time. Other members of Ida's family were also trailblazers in Logan's history. The Hocking Canal winds through the history of Logan and the entire region. Irishman Dennis McCarthy was the Canal supervisor and will have plenty of great stories to tell. Appropriately, the first Mayor of Logan, Charles James, will be portrayed by the current Logan Mayor, Martin Irvine. Docents will share interesting facts as they lead tour goers from grave to grave as history comes to life.
Tours depart at 3, 5 and 7 p.m. from the Logan Central Elementary parking lot (located across the street from the cemetery), 445 N. Market Street, Logan, OH. Tickets are $10 and go on sale October 1 at the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center, 13178 State Route 664 S., Logan or by calling (740) 385-2750. Tickets are also available for purchase at the Tombstone Tour. Parking is free and refreshments will be served prior to each tour.
The event is sponsored by Logan Town Center, a non-profit organization committed to the economic and cultural vitality of Logan's original town center. Tombstone Travels is made possible through partnerships with The Bowen House, Hocking County Children's Chorus, Hocking County Historical Society, Hocking Hills Tourism Association, The City of Logan and Logan-Hocking School District.

Outstanding Finance - What It Means, And Why You Should Know About It
2012-10-18
As a result, when someone buys a vehicle on hire purchase (and some other forms of credit), they don't fully own it until they've paid off the money. This means they can't legally sell the vehicle - but that doesn't stop people trying to do so.
Half of new cars registered have finance secured against them - and one in four cars checked by Experian Vehicle Check still have outstanding finance. *
I'm buying a used car - so what are the risks for me?
Should you buy a car which still has an outstanding loan, hire purchase agreement or some other form of credit against ...

The Science of Breaking Up Via Space Station Re-Entry Investigation
2012-10-18
When an aerospace engineer says breaking up is hard to do, they are not referring to matters of the heart. Instead, they are looking at best practices for the breakup of large items returning from space to Earth. Understanding what happens during this process is the goal of the ReEntry Breakup Recorder, or REBR. This device hitched a ride on the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle-3, or ATV-3, as it departed the International Space Station and re-entered Earth's atmosphere on Oct 2, 2012.
A better grasp of large item breakups could help economize deorbit ...

Children with ADHD find medication frees them to choose between right and wrong, study suggests
2012-10-17
Children living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tend to feel that they benefit from medication to treat the condition and do not feel that the medication turns them into 'robots', according to a report published today. In fact, they report feeling that medication helps them to control their behaviour and make better decisions. The study, which gives a voice to the children themselves, provides valuable insights into their experiences and the stigma they face.
The ADHD VOICES – Voices on Identity, Childhood, Ethics and Stimulants – study has worked ...

The locations of the structures completed this fall were informed by data collected by WCS, the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and identified the pronghorn's preferred migration routes and highway crossing points.
WCS has long studied an approximately 93-mile (150 km) migration of pronghorn between wintering grounds in the Upper Green River Basin and summering grounds in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP)—a migration corridor known as the "Path of the Pronghorn." WCS worked with many partners including ...
New insights into how genetic differences influence breast cancer risk from low-dose radiation
2012-10-17
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have identified tissue mechanisms that may influence a woman's susceptibility or resistance to breast cancer after exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation, such as the levels used in full-body CT scans and radiotherapy.
The research could lead to new ways to identify women who have higher or lower risks of breast cancer from low-dose radiation. Such a predictive tool could help guide the treatment of cancer patients who may be better served by non-radiation therapies.
The ...
