SOMERSET, Pa. — Dan Felks, a local mechanic, noticed he was getting strange looks and sly comments around town a few months ago.
"People at the grocery store would smile at me and say, 'I've heard about you,'" he says. "Some even talked about things I'd done in my past."
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Ever since 81-year-old Mae Hodges bought a used Volvo, "strange-looking people" have been approaching her around town to pay compliments.
"They tell me, 'Thank you for being a pioneer in our movement,'" Hodges says. "I have no idea what they mean."
The flow of appreciation began after she started driving the nondescript Volvo wagon, which bears several bumper stickers. One sticker shows a multi-colored flag, another a pink equal sign, both of which Hodges found "very cheery."

Ross Douthat says women should be more open to child-rearing, as in this scene from Leave it to Beaver.
It's hard to overstate the role of demographics in shaping the challenges that face the United States over the next few decades. To use one prominent example, the rush to reform entitlements and the focus on restraining health-care costs owe themselves to demographics—an unusually large cohort of people are due to retire from the workforce and will begin to strain our social insurance programs. Likewise, efforts to prepare for this inevitability—such as the Affordable Care Act—are hampered by, again, demographics; as we saw in the 2010 midterm elections, older voters are loath to sign on to anything that looks like a change to the status quo.
With that said, if the United States has a distinct advantage over its similarly situated fellow travelers in Europe and elsewhere, it's due to demographics. Thanks to mass immigration, our birthrate has held steady, and in a prosperous society, more people is a recipe for more growth.
Writing for The New York Times yesterday, conservative columnist Ross Douthat offered a peculiar take on this core American advantage. Yes, he notes, immigrants will drive population growth for the near future. But beyond that, nothing is guaranteed. Declining birthrates across the globe, coupled with child-averse attitudes among younger Americans, might lead to a less populous—and thus less dynamic—United States.
As Douthat writes, "Foreign-born birthrates will probably gradually recover from their current nadir, but with fertility in decline across Mexico and Latin America, it isn't clear that the United States can continue to rely heavily on immigrant birthrates to help drive population growth."
Now, one possible solution to this is just to liberalize immigration laws and allow more people to enter the United States. As long as the country remains prosperous and politically free, there will never be a shortage of people who want to come here to raise families and make their living. But Douthat is writing as someone concerned with the status of working America, which views immigration with anxiety and fear—after all, immigrants are people who, conceivably, could render their economic contributions less valuable.
So, instead of thinking of ways in which the U.S. could account for lower birth rates, Douthat investigates the cultural trends that might explain the turn away from child-rearing among "native born" Americans (as if there's something undesirable about high immigrant birthrates). His conclusion is interesting, to say the least:
The retreat from child rearing is, at some level, a symptom of late-modern exhaustion — a decadence that first arose in the West but now haunts rich societies around the globe. It's a spirit that privileges the present over the future, chooses stagnation over innovation, prefers what already exists over what might be. It embraces the comforts and pleasures of modernity, while shrugging off the basic sacrifices that built our civilization in the first place.
It's hard to escape the feeling that Douthat is talking about women when he talks about "late-modern exhaustion"— after all, this is a column about birth that only mentions women in their capacity as potential marriage partners. When it comes down to it, Douthat's worry isn't that there won't be adults who want to raise children; it's that not enough women are committed to having them and raising them. He traces this reluctance to the "decadence" of modernity and an "exhaustion" from more traditional pursuits. In other words, if more women would bear and raise children, the United States might be able to preserve its dynamism.
It's true that the modern world makes child-rearing a less attractive prospect for many women, and for good reason: The freedom of women to learn, work, and pursue their own ends has blossomed in the last 50 years. The most charitable read of Douthat is that he acknowledges this fact and is only describing how the two are inseparable from each other. A society where women are more concerned with their edification than with child-rearing is one that will necessarily have more selfishness. You can't have one without the other, as they say.
But that doesn't account for how Douthat characterizes the freedom modernity has given to women—he calls it "decadence," something harmful and insidious. The spirit of "late modern exhaustion," which leads some women to reject child-rearing in favor of their own goals, is selfish, destructive, and leading us to "stagnation."
Not only is this contemptuous of women's choices to a degree I find hard to comprehend; it betrays a hostility to the entire modern project of human flourishing at the cost of traditional obligations.
The simple fact is that it's only been in the last century that a substantial number of ordinary people have been been able to build decent lives free of severe hardship. If men and women are choosing to "embrace the comforts and pleasures of modernity," it's because they are far preferable to the pains and troubles of an earlier time, where happiness was a luxury for ordinary people.
Which isn't to say that things are perfect now, or even good. But they are substantially better than in the past. That is especially true for women, who seem to be the chief target of Douthat's disdain.
I think Douthat has accurately described the attitude of modern people in the world's richest societies. The fact of the matter, however, is that this is only "decadence" to those who—by dint of class and identity—can harbor fantasies of an earlier, harder time, secure in the knowledge that they would never have to suffer.
Countless men and women have fought and died to build a better world for ordinary people. There's no sin in enjoying it.

I think Jamelle has nailed Ross' bizarre retrograde assumptions. But Douthat is even more of a dolt than that. I mean anybody with half a brain has seen how birth rates go down when economies develop (something about lots of kids needed for the farm etc). But the real question is the interaction between public policy, women's participation in the workplace (and social attitudes about that) and the birthrate. Can the Times assign somebody to that?
Wed, 2012-12-05 09:46
there is a kernel of truth in what douthat is saying.. as witness maggie thatcher..carly fiorina..gina rheinhardt..sarah f palin.. etc..etc...the decadence douthat speaks of has been the feminist embrace of capitalism and ayn rand ideology...
it is also worth pointing out that the rush of women into the workforce was the singular cause of plutocratic ascendancy...the gender wars are over..and wall street won...
i quit being a feminist because you cant be a socialist at the same time anymore...
Wed, 2012-12-05 15:15
I enjoyed this article but feel it misses a key point: Many middle class young people, especially those in metropolitan areas, aren't having children because it is not economically feasible for them to do so.
You can't have a high birthrate among the middle class without a high savings rate. It's just not going to happen.
Add to that a growing concern with overpopulation, and it seems that more often than not, people are deciding to not have children for ethical reasons -- not decadent ones.
If we want population, and therefore economic growth, we need to address those underlying issues: What can we do to make the middle class more prosperous? What can we do to make sure 20-somethings are not tapped, jobless in the their parents' basements? What can we do to ensure the earth can support the extra weight we'd like to put upon it?
Without addressing these issues, populations will continue to age, and we will continue to lose that "dynamism" that some fear we already have.

Good, balanced article, and I like the insight that natalists are hostile to the "modern project of human flourishing at the cost of traditional obligations". I wonder if "more people is a recipe for more growth". You prefix the caveat "in a prosperous society" but it begs a question whether that equation will hold in the future given a fixed quantity of land, and constraints on freshwater in parts of the USA. @jpmckeown

As first announced via Twitter by 97.1 The Fan's Scott Torgerson and later confirmed by the Blue Jackets, 2009 first round draft pick John Moore is headed westbound out of Massachusetts to join the team in Detroit this weekend. With Rusty Klesla's aching knee, the team has six healthy defensemen, but the vulnerability of the remaining six necessitates Moore's call up. The 20 year-old is 3-15-18, -13, in 47 games played. At the time of his call up, Moore was tied with fellow rookie David Savard for Springfield's highest scoring defensemen. While it seemed unlikely that he would see any NHL time this season, the Falcons' lone All Star representative doesn't have to pass through waivers to be recalled, unlike Nick Holden. Moore, sporting the number 7 jersey, should be available for Friday's game against Detroit. It'll be interesting to see if he draws in in place of anyone – perhaps Anton Stralman? Stralman had an especially weak showing against Chicago on Tuesday evening.
Other off-day tidbits:
— TSN's Darren Dreger noted today: "Columbus goaltender Steve Mason (the 2009 NHL rookie of the year), young forward Jakub Voracek (selected seventh overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft) and 28-year-old defenceman Rostislav Klesla – the Blue Jackets' first ever draft pick (4th overall in 2000) are believed to be drawing trade interest." Obviously, "drawing trade interest" does not mean that Howson is willing to or considering pulling the trigger, simply that there are teams who are inquiring. It could go nowhere — it's hard to see Mason being traded with a contract extension due to kick in next season — or it could completely shake up the roster. Will be interesting to see what happens over the next three and a half weeks.


text: Actually there's more now. It spiked the thousands quite awhile ago but they weren't active members, rather they were a mixture of that and the guests. The majority of the departures were because of members luring them away, bans, and people just getting too busy with work to continue being active. When I first joined these forums we only had around 12 to 17 active members per day. Now we are averaging around 35 -41 and reaching the 50's on a good day. Most of the members are hidden. I'm not sure if you guys have the same feature but each thread gets around 100 active member views and the really popular ones sometimes reach 200. So this site has been doing great over the last few years.

Employment Outlook
As the population grows, current employees retire and rates of incarceration increase, employment opportunities in fields related to the administration of justice should be good. Numbers of job openings will vary due to several factors, such as changing demand for various specialties, salary levels and geographic area.
The information that follows is taken from the Occupational Outlook Handbook, United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Correctional Officers
Employment growth is expected to be faster than average, providing excellent job opportunities. Jobs in this field normally require working shifts, finding openings in rural areas and receiving salaries that may be perceived as low, relative to other occupations.
Police Officers and Detectives
The demand for police officers and detectives is expected to be average. Police services will continue to be important in a security-conscious society with a growing population.
Local police departments should offer excellent opportunities for those who meet the psychological, personal and physical qualifications. Competition for jobs will vary by geographic area (such as more crime in urban areas) and by salary ranges available.
Private Detectives and Investigators
Employment growth is expected to be greater than average, due to heightened security concerns, increased litigation, and the need to protect confidential information and all types of property. Employers will increase the use of background checks for applicants, which is another example of the types of criminal justice related tasks that will be increasing.
Forensic Science Technicians
Employment growth for those qualified is expected to be much faster than average which should result in excellent prospects for technicians applying for work in crime labs. Forensic science will be applied to examine, solve and prevent crime.

PANAMA CITY — The spectacle of Oaks by the Bay's Christmas Village was formalized with the annual lighting of St. Andrews' Christmas tree Tuesday evening.
But that's not all St. Andrews has to offer this holiday season. In conjunction with the Christmas tree lighting, the Dickens Christmas Village display held its own annual lighting in the Panama City Publishing Museum and Visitor's Center.
To look down on the buildings — some with figurines dancing inside by the firelight, some with illuminated windmills, and others with smoking chimneys, all detailed down to the individual shape of the windows — in the dark is awe-inspiring, according to Barbara Sarber.
"Seeing the magic of it at night is really important," said Sarber, the owner of the display. "It is like a small Victorian England city at night."
Sarber and Marilyn Agee worked diligently during November to design and construct a Victorian England Dickens village. More than 200 building make up the roughly 10- by-12-foot miniature village — not counting the clock towers, figurines, windmill, ships and lighthouses.
"It started when [Agee] told me about Dickens villages and gave me one for Christmas," Sarber said. "I loved them and my husband did also. We figured you can't have a village with just two or three."
So, Sarber began what would become a collection of about six other villages, the Dickens-themed being the largest. The display took Agee and Sarber a month to set up the 11 different areas within the village, including London Landmarks, Middle Class Houses and Inns and A Christmas Carol.
"In that section, there is a man reading from 'A Christmas Carol' before a group of people," Agee said. "Because many people couldn't read then … this gentleman is reading to the group."
Behind the man is the "Cratchits' home," according to Sarber.
"Whenever we see smoke coming from the chimney, we would say 'the Cratchits are home,' " she said.
With a plethora of pieces to choose from, Sarber could not choose a favorite, but one section holds personal meaning.
"It depends on which one I'm looking at the moment," Sarber said. "I particularly like the St. Andrews Christmas Bay section because we live on St. Andrew Bay. That is why it is toward the front of the display."
The Publishing Museum at 1134 Beck Ave. is open Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sarber encourages people to come during the week to see the display in the light and for an open house Dec. 14 from 4 to 8 p.m. to experience it in the dark.
"We feel fortunate the museum has allowed us to set it up and take up all this space," Sarber said. "It speaks very highly of the area."

From Politico
Former President Jimmy Carter planned to meet with President Obama on Tuesday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed.
Carter had planned to meet with the White House's national security adviser, Tom Donilon. Obama then asked Carter if he would stop by for a meeting, Gibbs told reporters on Tuesday.
Gibbs wouldn't say if Carter's visit was related to North Korea.
"That is all I know, and I will try to find more," Gibbs said before leaving the briefing room.
What, are we at Defcon 0 and all the real leaders were busy washing their hair?
Obama must be desperate if he wants to consult with Jimmy Carter on dealing with North Korea (or anything). Maybe if they can rub their Nobel Peace Prizes together a genie will pop out and solve their problems:
: Hello gentlemen! I am the Peace Genie
: Oh heck, now we've done it.
: Why does he look like Ronald Reagan?
: Because I'm the Peace Genie
: More like a crazy magic warmongering no talent-
: Say what sissy?
: Nothing sir! Its not 1980, there's no place like '76, there's no place like '76
: Are you crying Jimmy?
: He'll get over it, how can I serve you today?
: Huh?
:Do you guys want the wish you're entitled to?
: I thought genies give three wishes
:Only liberal genies do that, it usually takes a couple of tries before they get it right.
:Are you trying to tell me magic liberals are screw ups? I find that hard to believe.
: LOOK! Do you want your wish of a lifetime or what?
: I do I do! Hot damn let me get my teleprompter!
: *SOB* I wish I could've won that second term
:Oh boy...a deals a deal
: You're STILL here?
: Ooookay, I'm back, what should we wish for? I have needed a better golf handicap for a while now or I could just ask for a better overall swing and - where did that Soviet flag come from?
: You can thank your boy over there.
: A vodka cabinet?!? Where's my MLK bust? Jimmy, what did you do?
: He wished to finish what he started
: What about my golf swing?!?
: Huh? Oooooooooh, you mean East Soviet China...

I have to be honest. I've found most of the stories coming out of WikiLeaks to be yawners. Here's Talking Points Memo's Top 5 Most Shocking Things About The Wikileaks
Nearly every country in the Middle East wants us to attack Iran.
State Department officials ordered U.S. diplomats to spy on their foreign and UN counterparts.
North Korea supplied Iran with long-range missiles.
Iran used the auspices of the Red Crescent to smuggle spies and weapons into war zones
U.S. foreign policy relies heavily on blog-ready gossip items.
Lets be honest now, is anyone shocked by any of these items? This is really the worst of it? Didn't we pretty much know all of this stuff already?
I know the government is "embarrassed" by this, but I really think they don't care, because as a world super power wouldn't we be expected to know everything? How else are we supposed to find juicy details about these people? Wait for them to tweet about it?
I think it would be more embarrassing for the world to find out we weren't spying on them....they might even be feel a little insulted to think they weren't worth our time.
If Julian ASSange wants to impress me then the future drips he's promising better have something along the lines of the following:
Nearly every country in the Middle East wants us to attack their sand.
State Department officials ordered that U.S. diplomats can only spy on their foreign and UN counterparts using Facebook.
North Korea supplied Iran with stockpiles of magic markers, diamonds, and Cheerios.
Iran used the auspices of the Red Crescent to smuggle Playboy magazine and pocket U.S. Constitutions into war zones
U.S. foreign policy relies heavily on competence and honest self-reflection.
In all seriousness, if I had a choice I obviously wouldn't have wanted these leaks to take place. World leaders should be able to candidly discuss extremely sensitive issues and know some blabbermouth with small man syndrome and a laptop wont out them.
In the end, to me, it's not the release of the information itself that should give us pause, but the fact the government, who got a computer worm to disable an Iranian nuclear facility, couldn't prevent WikiLeaks from doing its thing.
I sort of begs the question, of how badly they wanted it stopped in the first place...Add a comment

Arnold Schwarzenegger was considering a political comeback by running for president of the Austrian chapter of his Kennedy family fan club.

Helen Thomas once tried to patent the ugly tree

From the liberal blog ironically named Crooks and Liars:
Not that this will matter to the congressional Republicans, whose agenda is not actually improving the economy nor listening to economists, the wealthiest 2%, or any other American, come to that. But the country's wealthiest men, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, dismiss the calls of Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans and say that the wealthy SHOULD pay more taxes.
Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said that the rich should be paying more taxes and that the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy should be left to expire at the end of December.
"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it."
The billionaire brushed aside Republican arguments that letting tax cuts expire for the wealthy would hurt economic growth.
"They say you have to keep those tax cuts, even on the very wealthy, because that is what energizes business and capitalism," anchor Amanpour said.
"The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on," Buffett explained.
Read the rest here
Let me get this straight, billionaires feel like they can spare a few million more bucks via an increase in their tax rate and they want to take people making $250,000 with them? Brilliant.
Generally speaking, someone making a billion dollars will see their tax bill rise by $40 million. Their $250,000 counterpart will see a rise of $7,500.
At some point one does have so much money that the only way it can possibly be spent is by finding more creative ways to use it, such as stufifng for pillows, or toilet paper, or donating it to a charity that provides kindling for the fireplaces of rich people.
The point is someone with $40 million less of a billion dollars can STILL get everything they need and everything they don't need too, but a $7,500 hit to a family making $250,000 has a major impact on financial planning and the ability to save and pay for major life issues ranging from education to retirement.
To lump the two together like Crooks and Liars does (enabled by money bubbleheads like Buffett) shows an intellectual bankruptcy even Joe Biden could bail out.
If Buffet wants to be so cavalier about having an additional $40 million to burn why doesn't he give it to more philanthropy?
Why not eliminate the welfare middle man and just bring 160 homeless families up to his tax bracket?
Or better yet, if HE thinks HE can spare the money for higher taxes then HE can pay a higher rate while the rest of us can stay at the current one. Nobody is stopping him from cutting THAT check.
Maybe he wants the force of law because he doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to pay that much more voluntarily. Fine, I call on the new GOP congress to enact the new tax bracket for anyone who thinks the government is shortchanging itself when it comes to having their money confiscated.
We'll call it the PB & J Tax. I've already figured out the perfect ad for it...

The implant is specifically designed to be injected into the head. When properly installed, it will allow the one implanted, to speak to God.
The exact size of the implant will be selected by a well-trained and highly skilled technician, who will also make the injection. No anesthetic is required. The implant may or may not be painless. Side effects, like headaches and nausea, aches, and pains are extremely temporary.
Some bleeding or swelling may occur at the injection site. In most cases, you won't even notice it.

Military, Law Combine for a One-of-a-Kind Internship Experience
Students at the Saint Louis University School of Law often spend their summers spread across the country and even across the globe to continue learning the practice of law and enrich their legal education and skills. Many students spend time in law firms being mentored by practicing attorneys or take classes abroad learning about international law, and sometimes students explore specialized areas of the law through unique summer experiences.
During the summer of 2011, second-year law student Chris Butler completed a summer internship with the Marine Corps in Yuma, Ariz., working with the Joint Law Center (JLC) as assistant trial counsel. The internship program is available to current officers like Butler and introduces them to the military system of justice and the unique legal work of the Marine Corps.
"Throughout the summer, I provided the trial counsel with research and analysis on a variety of different issues including concurrent jurisdiction between military and civilian law, insurance claims for deceased service members and sentencing guidelines for the violation of the National Firearms Act," Butler said.
In addition to his research, Butler was also the recorder for three separate Administrative Separation (ADSEP) Boards. The ADSEP Boards are cost-effective, efficient alternatives to court-martials in situations where an enlisted Marine has committed misconduct warranting separation.
"The recorder is basically the prosecutor for the government, but doesn't have to be a lawyer certified in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice," explained Butler. "As with a trial, there is a voire-dire opening statements, the presentation of evidence, calling of witnesses, direct and cross-examinations, and the rebuttal. However unlike a court-martial, the Military Rules of Evidence do not apply."
Butler's summer experience with the JLC built on his career foundation in the Marine Corps. Butler attended Officer Candidate School in 2010 after graduating from college and received his officer's commission Aug. 14, 2010 with an official military occupational specialty of a student judge advocate. He followed in the footsteps of his mother, grandfather, and uncles, by attending SLU LAW and is now concentrating his studies in criminal litigation with the goal of becoming a judge advocate after graduation.
"One of the best experiences about being in the Marine Corps is the people," Butler said. "You get to work with people from all over the country who share the common passion and goal of serving our country."
Butler's summer internship was an especially unique experience among his law school peers. "During the summer, I was able to earn the highest possible qualification on the rifle, 'Rifle Expert,' and managed to get my green belt, the third highest out of five belts, in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program," Butler said.
The uniqueness of the opportunity is what first attracted Butler to the internship. "The main reason I decided to participate in this internship is because the program was designed for Marine officers who are still in law school, and it gives them a first-hand look at the jobs they'll be expected to do when they hit the fleet," said Butler.
Not only will Butler's experience enhance his career, but he also believes his summer experience will enrich his law school education at SLU.
"I started law school right after graduating from Officer's Candidate School in Quantico, Va.," explained Butler. "I went from training that focused on physical endurance to jumping into the benchmark classes that all 1Ls face. There was no connection between the two, and I had a hard time rationalizing all the time and hard work I was putting into both. This summer has helped bridge that gap for me - I've had the opportunity to work with officers that are doing the jobs I'll one day be called on to do, and I've gotten to see what skills are required to provide high-quality legal assistance to our Marines. I know that one day soon, my legal education will make a difference for them."
After completing law school and passing the bar, Butler plans to attend The Basic School, a six-month officer finishing school required of all Marine Corps officers. After that, he plans to attend the Naval Justice School in Newport, R.I. to receive specialized legal training. Butler describes his summer internship as another step in helping him reach his goal.
"The Marines are all about self-improvement and it's incredibly motivating to be a part of an organization that never gets complacent. Being a Marine Corps judge advocate entails a lot more than just being an attorney, and I got a good taste of what it takes during my experience in Yuma."

The fourth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.< read all 34 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Readers, we will cast a giant invisibility cloak over any more plot and reveal only that You-Know-Who is very much after Harry and that this year there will be no Quidditch matches between Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Instead, Hogwarts will vie with two other magicians' schools, the stylish Beauxbatons and the icy Durmstrang, in a Triwizard Tournament. Those chosen to compete will undergo three supreme tests. Could Harry be one of the lucky contenders?
But Quidditch buffs need not go into mourning: we get our share of this great game at the World Cup. Attempting to go incognito as Muggles, 100,000 witches and wizards converge on a "nice deserted moor." As ever, Rowling magicks up the details that make her world so vivid, and so comic.

Quarterly Apple Bulk Order for University Computers & Accessories – Deadline Dec. 5
Friday, November 01, 2013
Each quarter UNC General Administration (UNC-GA) coordinates an Apple bulk order for campuses that wish to order Macs (iPads, etc.) and other Apple software and accessories. In the past, this process has given each campus a discount of 7% - 11% beyond normal education pricing.
Those interested in taking advantage of this opportunity for university purchases need to submit their information no later than December 5. See schedule below for details:
- December 5 (no later than 5 p.m.) – If you wish to be included in the Apple bulk order, you must contact Tami Violette (email@example.com or 910-962-3805) in ITS no later than 5 p.m. on this date to let her know the items you will be purchasing and to obtain a pre-bulk quote. (Quotes should NOT be submitted into uShop at this time.)
- December 6 – Pre-bulk quotes will be sent to UNC-GA and from there, forwarded to Apple.
- December 10 or 11 – Apple should have re-quotes back to UNC-GA and the campuses by this time.
- December 12 – ITS will send the re-quotes back to individuals with instructions to order via uShop.
- After December 12 but prior to December 20 – Submit your PO in uShop (It is very important to do this as quickly as possible, as Apple does not typically honor the extended discount after this end date). Further instructions on how to submit in uShop will be provided along with the discounted quote.
More details:
- The discount extends to all software and accessories as well as computers.
- iPads with WIFI-only will be discounted $20 each if bought in a 10 pack. AppleCare for these items will also be discounted $20 if bought in a 10 pack. AppleCare is not required for this discount.
- iPads with WIFI plus 4G will be discounted 4% if bought in quantities of 10 or more. AppleCare IS required to receive this discount. (Note: UNC-GA thinks these details will apply to the iPod Mini as well but have not yet given the official word.)
- Even if there are no discounts on individual units, iPad orders are counted toward the total UNC bulk order and this gives us "credit" towards achieving higher discount levels.
If you have questions and/or wish to participate, please contact Tami Violette at 910-962-3805 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is Combat Focus Shooting?
Combat Focus Shooting is an intuitive shooting program designed to help the student become a more efficient shooter in the context of a Dynamic Critical Incident. This is not a marksmanship course, nor is it designed to accentuate skills that only work well on a square range in front of paper targets.
For decades, combat shooters have known (and progressive trainers have acknowledged) that the human body and mind have predictable, instinctive responses to surprise and lethal threats. While the basics of weapons handling and marksmanship are important skills for all shooters, they are not the basis for success during most lethal encounters involving the defensive use of a handgun.
Instructor Development
To date, there is a less than 50% certification rate for those who attend a CFS Instructor Development program in the hope of becoming certified to offer the program or become a staff or adjunct instructor.
This intense 4 day course will give students a deeper insight into the theory, explanation and instructing of Combat Focus Shooting Fundamentals. The focus of the Instructor Development Program is NOT to create demonstrators nor to test one's shooting ability. 90% of the course time is spent in a classroom setting discussing the fundamentals of dynamic critical incidents and the recommended methods of teaching efficient armed response during them.Learn More »

I attended the CFS/APH course at Blackwing Shooting Center in Delaware OH in May 2010 and have to say that there was no hype involved in the advertising beforehand. A solid curriculum and excellent instructor gave all who really wanted to learn, something that was well worth the price of admission. I came home with some bruises and scrapes, but more importantly a better understanding of how to use the body's natural responses to my advantage.

My only dread is people exploiting this and bombing/spaming our wiis I dunno something to think about, the DS friend's code wasn't such a big deal as they sadly varied per game, but our Wii code is kinda forever for our one console. And if something like this does happen I think Nintendo has covered themselves by making it sorta against their rules to solicit your Wii code online to people you don't "know". That being sad I'll probably post mine later when I boot out of Zelda.

make sure you're getting a good connection. at first i could connect to the wireless network but i was dropping so many packets that the information wasnt getting through. try pinging your wii to see if it's dropping in and out. if it is, try setting the channel on your wireless router/ap to 1 or 11.
to find your wii number, click on the message icon in the bottom right corner on the main wii menu, then click on the far right address book icon. it should be on the first screen that shows up after that.

text: For an agonist to be effective as a mover in the skeletal system it must actually cross one or more structure(s) that can move. This is typically where the muscle crosses a joint by way of a connecting tendon. As the myofibrils of a muscle are excited into action and then contract, they will create tension and pull through the tendon and pulling the lever arm of bone on the opposite side of the joint closer to the muscles origin.

Sometimes there are plays in a game you can look to that make a difference between winning and losing.
When Riley Benock passed the basketball inside to Kodi Augustus for a dunk with 6 seconds left in the first half of Mississippi State's 67-58 victory over the Nicholls State Colonels Monday night, it gave the Bulldogs a lift going into halftime.
It was the difference of MSU being up 36-27 at the intermission instead of just 34-27 against a scrappy Nicholls State team.
"I just came off the back screen and it opened up," Augustus said of the play. "It gave us momentum going into the second half."
It's hard to know for sure what would've happened if the Bulldogs hadn't had the extra cushion going into halftime, but with the ability that Anatoly Bose, Ben Martin, Dantrell Thomas and Fred Hunter had to score for the Colonels, every point in the game was big.
MSU coach Rick Stansbury called a timeout with 29 seconds left in the first half to give some extra thought to the situation.
He felt the moment was important enough to take the time to discuss the strategy with his team.
"Sometimes you don't always get what you call, but we got it in that case," Stansbury said. "Unlike the play we drew up the other night, we were able to execute it in that situation."
The Bulldogs were able to win the third of a five-game stretch over five days and improved their record to 6-2.
There remains times when MSU doesn't look like a very good basketball team, which could lead to struggles by the time Southeastern Conference play starts.
It's going to be interesting to see how the Bulldogs use tonight's game against Alabama State (which will be free of charge by the way), the exhibition game against Belhaven in Jackson and road experiences in Hawaii, the Bahamas and Las Vegas to improve before the start of league play against Alabama on Jan. 8, 2011.
It's always good to get a second opinion on such things.
Shane Power, who played at MSU from 2004-05, will join Bart Gregory for tonight's television broadcast of the Alabama State game on CSS.
Power said the Bulldogs have done a good job so far of piecing together a winning season without the services of Dee Bost and Renardo Sidney.
"They've been able to give some other guys minutes that should really pay off when they get later in the season, especially come conference play when you need that depth off the bench," Power said.
Sidney will be eligible for MSU, starting with Wednesday's game against Belhaven, while Bost gets to play for the first time against Alabama.
The losses the Bulldogs had to Florida Atlantic and East Tennessee State bother Power and says the defeats may be due to a lack of toughness.
"With the experience we've got, we've got to step up with that toughness and with that experience and win those games," Power said.
Power believes once Bost and Sidney get back, Stansbury is a good enough coach to keep MSU in the thick of the SEC West race.
"If they take another step up in toughness, come together and get that chemistry, energy and fire, then I think they can do what they've done the last few years," Power said. "Coach does a good job of bringing the team along as the year goes on and I think he'll do that with this team."

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Agreed - I shouldn't think it makes a blind bit of difference unless it's A on one end and B on the other?
Yes. It wouldn't make any difference. If it is an ethernet card or switch made after ~2005 (I think..maybe earlier than that), then even if the cable is crossed over the ethernet card or the switch will sort it out. You really don't need crossover cables anymore except to support old equipment. If you want to link two ethernet cards together without a switch the autosense capabilities of the equipment should sort it out with any standard cable or cross-over cable.

An American tourist was lucky to escape with only minor injuries after rolling her car down one of the steepest passes in England.
Holidaymaker Jane Lukic, 60, rolled 500ft down the descent of Wrynose Pass into Little Langdale, before her car came to a stop on it's side.
Two witnesses raced down the mountain pass to the drivers' aid. The Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team spent three hours at the scene.
Mrs Lukic suffered a broken arm, laceration to the head and slight concussion after the incident but was discharged from hospital just days later.

Going postal
Phil Clarke asks Wigan's Royal Mail sorting office to pick their Super League dream team...
Last Updated: 05/02/13 1:03pm
One of the benefits of living in a town where rugby league runs in the water is that you're never far from an 'expert' opinion.
For those who don't know, I still live and work in a town called Wigan, located half-way between Manchester and Liverpool.
It's a place where they have played rugby league for over a hundred years and most probably will for at least the next 100.
Lollipop ladies, landscape gardeners and lab technicians all know their rugby in this part of the country. You only need to walk down the street to hear someone's view of Super League and who the half-back partnership for England should be.
I'm also lucky that I have two of the best rugby brains in the Royal Mail delivering my post. Their blood type is 'rugby league' and they usually know what they are talking about.
So, with the new season just started, I asked them to select their 'dream team' for 2013. There was no cap or limit applied to their selections, they were free to choose whoever they wanted and between the two of them came up with the following:
1. Richards/Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Hardaker
4. Watkins
5. Hall
6. Lomax/McGuire
7. Tomkins/Lomax
8. Mossop
9. Roby/McIllorum
10. Carvell/Hill
11. Hock
12. Ellis/Westwood
13. Sinfield/O'Loughlin
14. Burrows
15. Morley
16. Menzies
17. Manu
They couldn't agree on some positions so I've listed the alternate vote.
The less radical postman had Sam Tomkins at fullback, an unusual position for him before Michael McGuire decided to put him there after Amos Roberts injured his knee. Numbers two to five, meanwhile, saw them in agreement. They did mention Tom Briscoe as a possible winger, with Ryan Atkins and Leroy Cudjoe as a consideration in the centres.
They deliberated over the half-backs for some time. It's surprising that neither of them had Kevin Sinfield in the position that he has played for Leeds over the last two seasons. His last five Test appearances against Australia and New Zealand were in the half-backs and yet some people still see him as a loose forward. Is it because he plays in the number 13 shirt at Leeds?
Danny Brough seems to be a player that supporters either love or hate. I'm sure he'll be feeling the 'love' from the Giants fans after his efforts at St Helens. Richard Myler seems to roam under the radar but will be on Steve McNamara's 'possibles list' I'm sure.
People's perceptions are somehow biased on several fronts. The fact that the postmen live in Wigan would have an influence, added to the fact that the last big game they saw was Leeds' victory in the Grand Final. I think that there may be other alternatives on McNamara's list, but their two to five look strong to me.
Play it again Sam
Picking Tomkins at scrum-half created some debate in the Wigan GPO sorting room: is it lunacy now that he's been voted the best player whilst playing at full-back? Has Pat Richards had his best days?
Do you need another scrum-half type player in the number one jersey to provide the extra attacking player out wide? These two postmen saw him playing as a scrum-half before he hit the big time (does anyone remember he scored five tries as a scrum-half in his Wigan debut?).
I imagine that several clubs and coaches have spent the last four months trying to get their full-back to play more like Tomkins did last year at full-back (three tries in his first game of 2013 shows how dangerous he can be roaming in the back field).
As defences improve in the middle of the pitch the task of finding space out wide, and more importantly, delivering the accurate passes to those teammates in the gaps, becomes even more important.
Neither of them went for Rangi Chase either. Can he bounce back this season and take the Tigers into the play-offs? Coach Millward needs to hope that he can get the chemistry right so that he can be the thing that sets them on fire this year.
Lee Mossop is one of the most respected players in Super League, even though his work often goes unnoticed. The speed of the game sometimes means that we don't have time, or the brain capacity, to take in just what he and the other props do on the field.
Radical selections
There is little surprise around the number nine jersey, and I'm not surprised to see Chris Hill's name on the list as a prop. Gareth Carvell is the other radical suggestion, don't forget he only played in 20 Super League games for the Wolves last season and wasn't selected by Tony Smith for the Grand Final.
Harrison, Hill, Morely and Cooper all seemed to rank above him in the Wolf's lair. I thought that one of them would have voted for Jamie Peacock as a prop, and it seems like I'm in the minority by viewing Eorl Crabtree as a good player.
Both of the selectors were unanimous in their selection of Gareth Hock. They recognised that he makes mistakes, concedes penalties but also has the ability to win games. Would you have him in your team? Or would you go for a more of a Jamie Jones-Buchanan type player?
Without even seeing him play over here for years, Gareth Ellis made one team, with Ben Westwood his rival for a second row jersey. Sean O'Loughlin was the other vote for the position of loose forward. (Let's hope that Ellis' injury isn't serious and that he's back in action soon).
I hadn't asked them to select subs, but it seems that most supporters see the game as a 17-man effort now. Will that change in the future again? Will teams leave their best players on the field for longer? I'm fascinated to see the first team that tries this.
Rob Burrow's speed and vision was seen as a major threat to any team as they began to tire when the game wears on and yet this wasn't really how he was used at Leeds last year.
He did play more at hooker than scrum-half in 2012 and it will be interesting to see how and where Brian McDermott uses him this year. After 50 minutes of round one he moved from hooker to scrum half when Paul McShare entered the field. IS this the best way to get the most from him?
Every supporter always has a favourite player at a rival team, someone that they respect even though he may have caused his team some pain in the past. For many people Adrian Morley is that man.
Well liked and universally respected he's given a seat on the bench. As is Steve Menzies, who possibly falls into that category. His two tries against Hull KR prove his point scoring ability is still alive.
The final place in the dream team went to a player who looked brilliant at Hull in 2012. Willie Manu makes Morley and Menzies look young at 32, but maybe that's the new 22. Josh Hodgson at Hull KR was the only forward in Super League to score more tries than him last year.
In theory he'll be even more dangerous at St Helens this season. He's a luxury item, a bit like a leather interior in a car, but if the engine doesn't work hard enough, as we saw against Huddersfield, it's not really worth that much.
Still, it's pretty hard to argue with my postmen, they're better than Rod Studd when it comes to justifying their selections, but I'll have a go if you can send me one name, and a really good reason why they should be in this team.
