The state's highest court has upheld state legislative redistricting maps drawn earlier this year.
The one-page ruling does state that the court "determined that the Governor's plan is consistent with the requirements of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Maryland."
Details behind the courts decision will be provided at a later date, according to the court ruling.
Sens. Jim Brochin and Delores Kelley were involved in one of three suits against the redistricting plan on which the court heard arguments on Wednesday.
The Democrats claim the new districts violate the Maryland Constitution and a 2002 Court of Appeals ruling that governs redistricting. The suit alleges that Gov. Martin O'Malley and the General Assembly drew maps that contradict a 2002 Court of Appeals order that legislative districts be mindful of crossing jurisdictional lines.
The map combines nearly two dozen Baltimore County precincts into a new district that includes some Baltimore City precincts. The result is a new district that stretches the 44th Legislative District in Baltimore City into a portion of western Baltimore County currently represented primarily by Kelley.
Brochin and Kelley's lawsuit further alleges that the maps violate constitutional requirements that the legislative districts be compact.
Brochin's new district stretches from the Baltimore City-County line to Northern Baltimore County. The changes to Kelley's district pushed other county legislative districts in Baltimore County—such as the 42nd— north.
Finally, the suit alleges that the city, with a population of 620,961, should have just five districts all fully within its borders—a loss of one from its current configuration which was drawn by the Court of Appeals in 2002.
Baltimore County, with a population of 805,029, should have at least six full legislative districts fully within its borders. Currently, the county is represented by eight legislative districts. Three of those—the 5th, 7th and 12th—are shared with Carroll, Harford and Howard counties, respectively.
The lawsuit claims the plan "fails to recognize the growing population imbalance between Baltimore City and Baltimore County."

About the Abanico neighborhood
Centro is, not surprisingly, Seville's hub, anchored by Plazas San Francisco and Nueva and filled with shopping streets, churches, museums, restaurants, cafés. For visitors who must be at the center of the action, this is the place to be. Note, though, that because it's so in demand, it's also not cheap. Other hallmarks: loud cathedral bells, an absence of Internet cafés, and the obligatory Starbucks.

An unserious broken leg I don't think there is such a thing.
An unserious broken leg I don't think there is such a thing.
As far as I know, Kaitlyn Weaver's exact injury was never confirmed publicly by her or Skate Canada (in an article or press release). The "broken fibula" was posted on FSU as hearsay information.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
I am not sure, but this is google translation what she said about Keythlynn injury
And she said W-P return on ice only 2 weeks ago.She was displaced fracture in his leg. Underwent surgery. Inserted the iron plate with six screws.
So its hard for me to imaging, how with seriouse injury they could not only back on ice (i could understand this) but re-work 90% of FD. Thats what i want to say. Nothing more
They were always hopeful and optimistic that they could get ready for worlds if she healed well so whatever the precise nature of the fracture/break it must have been such that there was some cause for hope. Some people heal well and some don't. Kaitlyn and her team probably did everything they could to give her the best environment to heal. Having V&M and even a slightly weakened W&P going in as the top two teams for Canada is better than V&M and G&P. Hopefully she isn't pushing herself too much, she seemed to accept in some interviews that she would do the right thing as Sochi is the priority so fingers crossed.
Their return to competition will be one of the highlights in London for me so crossing one set of fingers for V&M and the other for W&P. If all goes well I'd love to see W&P get the spot on the WTT just to give them more time to practice their programs and perform them one more time as I can't imagine they´ll keep them for the Olympic season.
Will see, how they will look at WCh.
I cant understand, did they re-place iron plate with six screws from her leg or no.
Google translation of Angelika interview:
About P&B
About W&P- Due to injury guys missed about six weeks. For all, of course, it was a complete surprise. We were very nervous because I did not train for five weeks in the middle of the season is always difficult. At Fabyan was a gap on the leg muscles and the load had to be introduced gradually. Now he's in shape. I really hope that the beginning of the World Cup will be one hundred percent ready.
It's a shame, of course, that it is so, because the season is for the French duo very well. At two stages of the Grand Prix guys skated great, were third in the final of the series. Worked well and a lot. Everything was going great. But the injuries are not perfect, so let's hope.
Seems like Angelika is crossing her fingers for her two teams as well.- In mid-December, the partner very seriously injured. She was displaced fracture in his leg. Underwent surgery. Inserted the iron plate with six screws. Girl long skate. Started training just two weeks ago. But Caitlin quickly progresses, it wants to play. Just insanely wants. And me, as an athlete, it is surprising, if not shocking, her desire to perform at the World Cup. This girl has amazing character. Truly a champion. It is done. I do not know to what extent can it be right to start from the medical point of view. But doctors are allowed to compete. However, I do not want an athlete intensive, because the front of the Olympic season, and it's extremely important. World Cup in that sense, I think, not so much.
Whatever it was, she Caitlin says he feels fine. The guys are getting ready. So things are going more or less normal. I just pray to God that our students do not have any injuries.
From her interview iW-P situation didnt look good, when from other W-P interviews all look OK.Seems like Angelika is crossing her fingers for her two teams as well.
But Anjelika worked with Linichcuk a lot time and she often play with injuries and then her skaters won big competitions (like Grishuck-Platov in 1995 or Lobacheva-Averbuch in 2002).
I dont want to say nothing, but i am not sure about nothing now.
From when was the interview of Angelika ?
If I remember wel Kaitlyn went back on the ice the 2 February...
Also, both you and Sylvia might want to find and view two Youtube videos:
In a P.J. Kwong interview done with Kaitlyn and Andrew at Canadians in January, Kaitlyn clearly states that she "broke her fibula."
In the CBC News Road to the Olympics segment, there is a close-up shot of the scar on Kaitlyn's ankle. I doubt she painted it on.
It never ceases to amaze me how some posters feel they can level all sorts of accusations against skaters. But heaven help the person who makes any negative comments about the same poster's favorite skaters.
beebee, I think you misunderstood my post since I never meant to imply that Kaitlyn Weaver's injury wasn't serious. I merely wanted to point out that Kaitlyn herself never mentioned the exact nature of her injury publicly that I knew of... I wasn't aware of Pj Kwong's video interview of her, so thank you for mentioning it.
I wish her and Andrew all the best at Worlds.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
I'm excited to see Kaitlyn and Andrew again in competition. I hope they feel really proud after coming back from a nasty injury no matter where they place. Pictures 9 and 10 are from their practice today in this link: http://spiral9509.tistory.com/m/post/slideshow/id/523
P.S. I wonder if the "extra bits" will set-off airport metal detectors?

The distinctive features of the New American Commentary:
The New American Commentary represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship, and lends itself to the practical work of preaching and teaching.
This series, more than a decade in the making, continues in the line of the An American Commentary which was produced at the end of the nineteenth century. Like the older series, the volumes of The New American Commentary come from scholars with explicit commitments to the infallibility of scripture.
From the editors preface:
The New American Commentary authors affirm the divine inspiration, inerrancy, complete truthfulness, and full authority of the Bible. The perspective of the NAC is unapologetically confessional and rooted in the evangelical tradition.... Thus, the commentary concentrates on theological exegesis, while providing practical, applicable exposition.-
While rooted in conservative theology, The New American Commentary honestly and boldly engages the range of theological and exegetical issues raised in contemporary biblical scholarship.
The New American Commentary-s aim is to be mid-level, less technical than the New International Commentary series, but much more expansive than virtually any other NIV-based series. All the volumes are readable to those without strong seminary training. Its distinctive perspective is to place a greater emphasis on theology than is common in more detailed commentary series.

Fees chase Oregon man from Wash. liquor business
Dec 22, 2012
By The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — An Oregon man is getting out of the Washington state liquor business after fees drove up his prices and consumers found cheaper booze in chain stores and across the state line.
Don Sidhu had $2.1 million in investor money that he spent on four former state-run liquor stores privatized when the state switched away from a state-operated liquor system this year.
Customers told Sidhu that they would buy their booze at Oregon's lower-priced, state-operated stores, The Vancouver Columbian reported.
Sidhu apologized to customers for the fees, which in some cases led to prices 22 percent higher than those in Oregon.
"They said, 'Don't be sorry, you're the one who's going to lose your business,'" said Sidhu, a Woodburn, Ore., resident who closed his stores in Kennewick and Kirkland and plans to shutter his remaining two stores in Vancouver some time next month.
Liquor sales in Oregon increased 9.4 percent in October 2012, compared to October 2011. At Oregon's 12 border stores, sales increased by 34 percent.
Compounding the problem is distributors, who in many cases charge smaller stores between 25 percent and 35 percent more than they charge volume discounters like Costco.
"In the old system, everybody in the state paid the same price, and now, if you're not close to a Costco or big box, you're paying a whole lot more for the same product," said John Guadnola of the Washington Beer & Wine Distributors Association. "It's so much cheaper to deliver a truckload to one place and have the customer break it up and deliver it out to the individual stores."
Sidhu isn't alone in facing a quick, devastating business failure in Washington's new free-market liquor sales environment.
Of the 167 former state-run liquor stores that Washington auctioned off, Sidhu estimates only 60 or 70 remain open.
He said he had a disadvantage in being a small store. The lack of volume discounts from distributors, competition from Oregon, and the loss of commercial sales that were a key profit center for the former state-run liquor stores have all contributed to the demise of the former state-run stores.
"I will keep my head high," he said, "and move forward."

Reporting from San Jose and Los Angeles — California Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman acknowledged Wednesday that she paid an undocumented worker to clean her residence and provide other services in her home for nine years but insisted that she had been unaware of the woman's immigration status.
Whitman, who has vowed to crack down on illegal immigration, said her family hired Nicandra Diaz Santillan through an employment agency to which Diaz Santillan had provided documentation suggesting she was an American citizen. Whitman said Diaz Santillan showed her a copy of her Social Security card and California driver's license, and campaign officials distributed those documents to the media.

If you've believed about a set of Custom Poker Chips, want some thing that looks classy and has a real casino appear and feel, and don't mind putting in a small effort on your portion, you can have a initial class looking set of entirely custom poker chips at a very affordable price.
Most or no values printed on them can be customized. There are a few simple approaches to customize poker chips. Diverse poker chips have diverse size areas which you can customize, from 7/8″ up to 1.25″. The most common size that most poker chips will function really well with , is a 15/16″ inlay. This size provides you lots of diverse chips to decide on from. Make confident your sizes match for best results.
You can have completely custom chips manufactured just for you. These are extremely high high quality, extremely tough to counterfeit and by far the most high-priced way to do it. These run somewhere around .00 or far more per chip and take a few weeks to style. You begin with a blank chip, then choose your style in terms of edge spots and edge designs for a fully customized image of your own and whatever values you want in any quantity you want. These are actually comparable to casino poker chips and are typically made from ceramic material. The images and values are printed appropriate into the chip. Unless you need to have to be concerned about unauthorized or counterfeit chips finding into your game, these can be a little pricy for the house or casual gaming market place, but they provide a really high degree of security in terms of unauthorized chips.
There is another process named Hot Foil Stamped customized poker chips. These involve impressing a colored foil hot stamp image or value on the chip. These are usually rather basic, as unless you want to pay to have a special die designed for you, you are extremely restricted in what image and text style you can use with out additional costs. These are 1 color imprints, usually consisting of one thing like a dollar value or your initials, just three or 4 letters on the chip. Even if you have a custom die created for your particular logo or image you are fairly a lot restricted to just one color. These are not terribly pricey but don't have the same visual top quality, and are extremely straightforward in style as opposed to a custom created 4 color inlay.
For the funds and final top quality look of your custom chips it is difficult to beat a custom 4 color inlay, which is basically a sticker or label applied to the center of an existing stock poker chip. These can be completed with practically any image and text in full color, adhered to the center of the chip and are as close as you will get to choice 1, the fully customized ceramic poker chip, and for a lot much less funds. These are great for property games, tournaments and casual games where concern about counterfeit chips is not an concern. There are two approaches to do this. One is to have the custom inlay developed, printed and adhered on the chip for you. You can use your own image or take an concept or some preferred artwork and let the supplier help you design your chip inlay. There is occasionally a very nominal fee for their design function, but it is worth it. You can pick the chip colors from a stock set of chips, have different values, or no values, and receive the finished item with inlays already printed and applied for you. These will typically run about 30 cents per chip, plus the cost of the chip. So if the chip fees 16 cents, plus the 30 cents for the inlay, including art fees you are most likely in the .45 to .50 per chip range. The method can take 3 to 6 weeks to total, depending upon style time.
There is yet another way to accomplish close to the identical thing for a lot much less income, and that involves making use of a stock poker chip without having denominations and getting a custom printed inlay designed and printed for you, then you adhere the inlay labels yourself. It is fairly easy to do, just takes a small time to "aim and stick", but you can get a true 4 color custom poker chipsat a very cost-effective price. These are printed on a high top quality, glossy stock that is created especially for poker chips and will last a long time below normal usage. This method generally runs only about 12 cents per chip for both sides, and can be carried out in just a few days rather than weeks. You have total flexibility as to what values you want if any, in any quantity of every value, and if you select the proper chip to use you can have a really distinctive fully customized poker chip that rivals the more high-priced techniques and can be a poker chip set you can actually be proud to use at your games.
Any poker chip without having pre-printed denominations or images already on them can be utilised, giving you a large choice of color and design of chip.
If you do not already have a logo or image in mind, we can that has about 8 million really high top quality images of practically something you can dream of which can be re-created to fit your chip. You can search the images by keyword, for instance "poker" , "motorcycles", "dragons", or just about something else you can believe of, and see thousands of styles involving your keyword which can be the raw artwork for your supplier's designers to help work into your own custom image. Employing the very same 16 cent chip, plus about 12 cents per chip for the inlays, you are in the .25 to .30 cents per chip total price. You just give the labor to adhere them and the finished chips look fantastic for a lot much less cash.
There are several other uses for this form of custom poker chip besides just poker. They make excellent and affordable "entry gifts" or mementos for tournaments. They can be utilised by retail stores, clubs and restaurants as really novel and memorable "comeback coupons". Some clever organization people even use custom poker chips as a organization card that won't finish up in the trash. The options are nearly endless.
Shown below are the printed inlays only that we developed from a dragon image from the idea image internet site mentioned above. These were developed to have an Asian theme and a dragon image for use in a mah jong game, but it provides you an notion of the complexity and use of color obtainable. These were put on the "Crown & Dice" style chip, which has a three color edge spot to a matching chip color and appear terrific. These expense much less than 30 cents per chip for images on each sides in a quantity of 500, including the poker chip.

ATLANTA -- A bipartisan bill just filed in the state House would make more of Macon part of a special development zone thats seeking outside dollars to help lure investors to the citys most impoverished neighborhoods.
The poorest parts of Macon are already covered by the Macon-Bibb County Community Enhancement Authority, defined as census blocks with a poverty rate of 40 percent or more. That area would be extended to adjacent, less developed areas under House Bill 410 by state Rep. James Beverly, D-Macon.
The bill makes the area about 40 to 50 percent larger, Beverly said. Now it roughly covers south and east Macon, but Beverly, who carried the bill that created the authority last year, said the expansion is a good idea.
The Pleasant Hill neighborhood around Walnut Street, for example, qualifies to be part of the authority now. But neighborhoods surrounding it dont, leaving it isolated. That isolated island would be less attractive for what the authority is trying to do: attract businesses to Macons lowest-income areas.
The authority is still a work in progress. It doesnt have any members yet, and Beverly is still writing the rules and finding the money for incentives that would attract investment.
Beverly reported hes starting the application for a New Markets tax credit. Thats a federal tax credit worth 39 percent of a projects capital cost. Programs like that will be the authoritys funding strategy: Find grants and tax credits rather than raise its own money.
The authority is not ready to source deals yet, Beverly said, but the proposal would help lay what he called the infrastructure to make deals work.
Probably in the next couple of years well populate the board, he said. It will also have professional management just like the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority and other such bodies.
The bill has yet to be scheduled for a hearing, but its attracted signatures from two Bibb Republicans and another Democrat. With that kind of bipartisan agreement, and since it affects just one jurisdiction, it could move through the House in a matter of days.

Thread: Scouts now prep for bullies
Scouts now prep for bullies
Boy Scouts now must show they've learned to avoid being pushed around
Re: Scouts now prep for bullies
Hahahahahahaha thanks for the laugh of the day BLV.
I was a boy scout for 6+ years, I attained the rank of Eagle. I was also fairly involved in council level activities for awhile.
Some of the kids you meet in scouts were the poor saps who would get bullied no matter what. I think most people know what I'm talking about. The ones who for whatever reason are complete nerds, and give the bad stereotype of boy scouts.
At the same time there are alot who are just normal, average, everyday people. I consider myself in this group, chiefly because i had alot of friends who were cooler than I, and I know for a fact at least some girls find me attractive.
The ones who typically don't stay in scouts for long are the "cool" kids. The preppy ones. There are of course exceptions.
There was not ever much bullying that I saw at Boy Scout functions, so my guess is this mostly relates to outside.
Honestly, I think this is silly and useless. Telling a bully how much it hurts is like waving a red flag at an angry bull. You're just gonna encourage it. Sometimes you just can't sensative your way out of things. Thats where you and/or your friends need to just kick the shit out of the guy or something.
As a side note, most boy scouts are way more obsessed with fire, guns, knives, fireworks, and girls than the average person. Nor are they pure, you would not believe how often some of my friends managed to get drunk in thier tent or once we stayed in a hotel room. One time they even found a frat party.
VikesFan787, Thanks for the awesome sig!

David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis is a movie of ideas, or at least one idea. Sitting in the back of a stretch limousine inching through New York City traffic on his way to get a haircut, 28-year old billionaire Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson, only slightly less vampiric than usual) plays host to a number of guests, all of whom engage him on different aspects of his empire, which may or may not crumble by the time he hits the barber's chair. Outside, the city breathes heavily, at one point erupting into a riotous protest that leaves his limo—one of many like it haunting the streets of this parallel New York—covered in spray paint and shit; inside there's talk, lots of talk, about the profitably dangerous collusion of capital and technology. At one point a hacked street-side marquee insists that "a spectre is haunting the world... the spectre of capitalism." Duly noted.
Cosmopolis, it can be said with dead certainty, knows what it's about. But who does it think it's for?
Fans of postmodern lit poster-boy Don DeLillo, author of the slim novel on which Cosmopolis is based, may have the most interest in sitting through Packer's long limo ride of the soul. On the page, DeLillo's terse dialogue and silly-by-way-of-serious sociopathy fit together neatly enough with the confined setting, and Cronenberg appears to have been faithful to the material. But his reverence for the book makes for a too-cute cover version, executed with every bit of the care he should have given to considering it in the first place. The cramped close-ups and barbed-wire banter are novel for the first few one-on-one encounters, during which we pick up on little more than Packer's slick disconnect. The prolonged effect, though, is stagy and wooden, like an insufficiently adapted play. With each of the dozen-plus chitchats in and around the limo—Packer occasionally ventures out of the backseat to impose upon his recent and unloving bride (Sarah Gadon) at area diners—Cosmopolis lurches slightly toward nothing in particular.
The mixed blessing of such an episodic film is that the quality and tone of the scenes do shift, so there are parts that bear recommendation. Juliette Binoche is at her most vivacious as an art dealer who tries to dissuade Packer from making an offer on the Rothko Chapel. Kevin Durand, as Packer's impatiently obedient head of security, puts out a cartoonish energy that fails to spread. An encounter with a self-important prankster (Mathieu Amalric) even allows for some physical comedy from Pattinson, well-cast in his airbrushed disaffection and occasionally impressive in where and how Packer's veneer begins to crack. (Another highlight for R-Patts, and the movie besides: a limo-bound scene in which the health-obsessed Packer receives a prostate exam while debriefing a middle-class subordinate.)
And, of course, there are those big ideas. By the time Packer Capital's Chief of Theory (Samantha Morton) joins Packer to observe the escalating protests from within his touchscreen-lined, mostly-soundproofed chariot, we're more than ready to find out what Cosmopolis is up to, but there's a po-mo coyness that hangs over even its most philosophically direct moments. We want badly to draw a conclusion, to get a read on the situation, but Cronenberg doesn't seem to think DeLillo would approve, so we're left with nearly two hours of stray ideas—on money, on love, on society's doom and its sad attempts to slow it down—that don't add up to any useful sum.
The same can be said of Cosmopolis as a narrative: What counts for story moves as slowly as Packer's gridlocked limousine, and by the time Cronenberg accidentally introduces emotional detail and dramatic tension, the audience may be too bored to care. A surprise execution, for instance, comes across as a morbid non-sequitur, and there's no reason to respond beyond the same light curiosity Cosmopolis gladly settles for everywhere else. And when Packer emerges finally into the night to face down a supposed threat, two men with loaded guns and supposed reason to fire them face off in a ruined apartment building... then sit down and talk for another 15 minutes. What else would they do?
The film is being marketed as the first film about our new century, and DeLillo has written the sort of book that will only build in relevance among those who recognize what this century will mean to the poor, the rich, and the mega-rich. In bringing it to the screen, David Cronenberg has miscalculated and disappointed. In recent years he has established himself as a master filmmaker as opposed to just a body-horror iconoclast; Cosmopolis now complements his other most recent screenplay credit, for 1999's eXistenZ, by bookending that period with his two dumbest films.

From time to time, Wizards of the Coast publishes minor updates to Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks.
These updates clarify rules questions, correct technical errors, and improve game play. While we make every effort to catch such issues before publication, the sheer volume of material published for the game ensures that a few inevitably creep in.
This month, we've decided to address one of the most commented offenders to the game (we say as people who have to play alongside rangers in the party, and watch as they do way more damage than our warlocks, which is totally not fair): twin strike. We trust that the following update to this power should realign party dynamics equitably, but if you feel otherwise, please send us your opinion.

Bernard Magrez buys rosé domaine
- Wednesday 24 November 2010
Located in the Var region, halfway between Aix-en-Provence and Nice, the 12-hectare, south-facing Clos des Muraires was bought from the owners of Domaine de la Bastide Neuve.
Five hectares of the property are planted with Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan.
La Bastide Neuve has been producing a Clos des Muraires rosé priced at €14.95, as well as white and red versions which sell for €21.95.
For his inaugural vintage, Magrez plans to release 32,000 bottles of 'haute couture' rosé de Provence only.
Clos des Muraires will be part of Magrez's global wine portfolio, reportedly worth €40m, which includes Bordeaux Châteaux Pape Clément and La Tour Carnet, as well as estates in Argentina, California, Chile, Japan, Portugal, Uruguay and Spain.

Fredericksburg, TX 78624
Three core strengths help fulfill the health care needs of Hill Country patients: a supportive community, quality patient care and a Spirit of Calling. We serve many visitors to the Hill Country. They come from all parts of the world, and we often hear positive feedback. While our inpatient satisfaction rating consistently ranks in the top 10 percent of all hospitals in the United States, we're striving to raise the bar. Our mission is Remarkable Always! Our vision is Empower Others, Create Healthy.
We offer comprehensive services to meet the Hill Country's health care needs.
A Tradition of Excellence
The overwhelming drive to improve and be the best originates from an auspicious heritage.
HCM opened in 1971, and ninety-three percent of Gillespie County households contributed to have it built. The roots of this extraordinary achievement are found in the small, Hill Country town of Fredericksburg in which original settlers were called to give of their time, treasure and talents to serve others. Today, hospital employees, physicians and volunteers reflect diverse backgrounds, but the principal motivation of doing worthwhile work and making a difference is a thriving inheritance. The health care result is an organization which exceeds patient needs and helps fulfill community goals. As Fredericksburg has grown in population and world-wide recognition, the hospital has paralleled the rise by broadening available service lines, improving quality, continuing to recruit great physicians and adapting to health care trends. The HCMH Foundation has been a valuable partner in helping the hospital grow, and plans are underway to continue the traditions of growth and innovation.
Future health care is reshaped today, and HCM is not only planning for the future, it is emerging as a leader in a time of health care reform. Its Remarkability is something for which the community, employees, volunteers and physicians can be proud.
Welcome to Remarkable Health Care!

Men's 50m Pistol: South Korea's Jongoh Jin Earns Second First Place Prize in London
Jongoh Jin of South Korea successfully defended his Men's 50m Pistol title from Beijing. He narrowly beat out fellow countryman Young Rae Choi on Day 9 of competition in London. Choi led most of the competition and entered the final with a seven-point lead against the defending champion. Jin looked out of contention for the top spot, until he shot a perfect 100 in the final round. The competition ended in a score of 662-661.5, landing Jin the top prize he had hopes of defending four years removed from his last title.
Jin, who had already taken first place in the 10m Pistol earlier in the week, was sitting in fifth place after the morning's qualification round. He became the first shooter to repeat as 50m Pistol champion in back to back games.
"After the fifth round (of the final) I was in second place. I was happy with that, so after that I did not look at the score," Jin said.
Although he was happy with a top-two finish either way, Jin was able to secure the ultimate prize after all, bringing his career top-three score total to five.

---- — Community benefit
TO THE EDITOR: In a recent letter to the editor, Morgan Ferris takes exception to the action of the Plattsburgh City Council, who turned down a petition for a night-time march by the organizers of Take Back the Night.
Her cause is a worthy one and undoubtedly deserved better.
Unfortunately, however, Ms. Ferris continues by maligning another worthy cause — a Sunday afternoon block party sponsored by Irises and several other local restaurants — for which the council has allowed a one-block street closure. As she rightly says, "Maybe there needs to be a bit more disclosure about this 'party' and the idea of closing that street to traffic in the summer."
The restaurants involved are donating the food and drink, as well as the services of their staffs and items for a silent auction. Two musicians and a band will be donating their musical talents, and entertainment for children will be provided by a dozen college volunteers from Project Help.
For very modest fees, attendees can sample a wide variety of food and drink. Most importantly, all profits will go to the Strand Theatre Restoration Project — a high priority not only for the city but the surrounding area, as well.
Far from "only thinking of their own business and not the good of the city," the organizers have put together a clearly community-oriented event in order to contribute to the completion of this valuable arts venue. Their efforts should be applauded.
Free dentistry
TO THE EDITOR: On Sept. 15, Dentistry from the Heart New York, hosted by High Peaks Dental, provided a day of free dental care to the people of the North Country.
This extremely fun and successful day could not have been possible without the involvement of local volunteers and organizations who so generously donated their time, talents and products.
Our heart-filled thanks go out to Aubuchon Hardware, Benco Dental, Bobby's Lounge, Bucks's Supply & Distribution, Dash Medical, Dentsply, Dickies Bar-B-Que, Dunkin Donuts, Freihofer's, Frito-Lay, Henry Schein Dental, Koffee Kat, Lake Placid Oral Surgery, McSweeney's Red Hots, McSweeney Orthodontics, Morrisonville Septic, Pepsi, Price Chopper, Rambach's Bakery, Sam's Club, Subway, Town of Plattsburgh Highway Department, Valley Vending, WIRY Hometown Radio, WSLP The Choice for the Tri-Lakes and The New B 100.7 WPLB.
Thanks again to these organizations for helping Dentistry from the Heart give North Country residents a true reason to smile.
High Peaks Dental
Mortgage defaults
TO THE EDITOR: So mortgage defaults are on the rise. The Federal Reserve is going to purchase $40,000,000,000 in mortgage debt per month, $480,000,000,000 per year from the big banks.
They will be printing new money to pay for this (out of thin air). Sounds like a yet another (stealth) bank bailout to me. Snookered again.
Tell your senators you support a full audit of the Federal Reserve.

Harmless review
I heard our governor state in Greenville that he opposed the Racial Justice Act because, among other reasons, a bipartisan group of district attorneys thought it was a bad act for North Carolina justice. Sadly, some DAs, as well as some in law enforcement officials, have participated in the very actions within the court system that gave rise to the need for the Racial Justice Act.
I have been privileged to know several DAs over the years and respect the work they do for our state justice system as well as the great work of our law enforcement officers. That does not mean that mistakes by commission or omission have not occurred. I do not see the harm in allowing a court review to ensure that fair sentencing has occurred.
I am a firm believer in the value of our legal system, but I am also aware that equal justice under the law is sometimes a statement of belief, not necessarily a reality. I regret that our governor decries the notion that even an enlightened state can make mistakes.
James R. Horton

Rookie of the Year: Surf Star Julian Wilson Claims Coveted ASP Honor After Super Consistent Season
It's hard to imagine that just a short time ago, in 2010, that a young Julian Wilson was wondering if he'd make the cut for the WCT. Those days are long gone. As one of the most consistent performers on the 2011 Tour, which included dazzling performances at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast and the Hurley Pro at Lowers (Trestles in Southern California) Julian placed his budding star power into the spotlight.

Solis visited Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) Sept. 28 to formally announce that a 10-college consortium led by AACC will receive a $19.7 million Department of Labor grant to provide training for high-demand jobs in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
"We in this country need to encourage our young people to pursue STEM careers," Secretary Solis said, calling these jobs a key to economic growth and moving the country forward.
The grant is part of the department's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training initiative that is providing $500 million to community colleges across the country to develop training in high-demand industries to help put displaced workers back to work. AACC is leading the National STEM Consortium of 10 colleges in nine states.
AACC President Martha A. Smith, Ph.D., said this grant represents a unique partnership at all levels of government, private industry and educational institutions. She recognized the work of federal, state and local legislators to fund up-to-date facilities and equipment – especially STEM programs – so the college is in the position to be a leader in this new effort.
"This is exactly how it is supposed to work," she said. "This grant is unprecedented in my career in the size and scope of grant, the confidence it shows in community colleges and the comprehensive nature of partnership – government at all levels, industry and number of community colleges."
The National STEM Consortium will develop one-year certificate programs in five high-wage, high-skill STEM industries: composite materials technology, cyber technology, electric vehicle technology, environmental technology and mechatronics, a multidisciplinary field of engineering ranging from electronic engineering to computer and software engineering.
"The National STEM Consortium promises to be one of the most significant advancements in American higher education in recent history," said Stan Jones, president of Complete College America, a national nonprofit which provided technical assistance to the grant winner.
AACC will help develop programs for two of the five fields, cyber technology and mechatronics. The first group of students is projected to begin training in September 2012, with each new certificate designed to take nine to 12 months to complete.
The certificate programs target mainly workers who lost their jobs through changes in global manufacturing. A STEM Bridge curriculum will incorporate remedial education into the industry training curricula for those who need to update fundamentals in English or math. Lessons will combine online instruction with face-to-face classroom settings. These certificates will be available for consortium partners and other community colleges across the country.
"We will help build a national repository of high-quality technical curriculum that can be made available to all of the community colleges in this country." Smith said.
In addition to AACC, the NSC colleges are Clover Park Technical College in Washington; College of Lake County in Illinois; Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio; Florida State College at Jacksonville; Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana; Macomb Community College in Michigan; Northwest Arkansas Community College; Roane State Community College in Tennessee; and South Seattle Community College in Washington.
