Kate Middleton and Prince William's recent baby-moon in Mustique wasn't as relaxing as they might have hoped.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 31, whose baby is expected in July, was photographed bikini-clad on the private Caribbean island and showing her new and very slight baby bump. The images are expected to be published in an upcoming issue of the Italian magazine Chi, which also published topless photos of Middleton last September.

Recovery for Some
by Jack Landsman, Sun Oct 31, 2010 at 09:40:43 PM EDT
"Voters aren't much swayed by promises to improve upon all the unprecedented legislation we've achieved for bankrupt financiers, insurance companies, and so forth. This is a recipe for debacle and Democrats can expect an unlikely, super-undeserved Bush recovery to persist thereafter."
Nevermind the "shock" polls. Wait until W. is respectfully campaigning in safe, or relatively safe, districts in 2012. There's your coup de grâce.
Barry, you're doing a heckuva job. Dude.

The Rotary Club of Richland Township wants to help people shake off winter's chill with hot music.
The club is hosting its second annual Rotary Rock Fest at 9 p.m. Feb. 9 at Ace's, 316 Chestnut St. in the Cambria City section of Johnstown.
Patrons can expect to see and hear three well-known area bands.
Rotary board member Shawn Lasko, a musician with nearly 30 years' experience who is coordinating the event, said the Rotarians have established a good foundation on which to maintain Rock Fest as an annual event.
The featured bands are Shades of June, Maiden America and Wyld Syde.
Lasko, a guitarist for Wyld Syde, said organizers have tweaked the event from the initial effort in 2012.
"This year, doors will open at 8 (p.m.) because last year, there was too much down time from when the doors opened and the bands took the stage," Lasko said.
"Music will begin at 9 sharp for a full evening of fun, dancing and partying."
Lasko said each group plays similar genres of music, including contemporary, classic rock and metal.
"They are all great bands, and each plays super dance music," he said.
"Bands can't survive unless they perform music people can dance to."
Gary Matolyak, owner of Ace's, is cooking up a special ethnic plate for $7.50.
"He's offering an ethnic feast of chicken, haluski and cabbage rolls as part of each meal," Lasko said.
Proceeds benefit community projects and humanitarian endeavors undertaken by Rotary Club of Richland Township, which was founded in 2009.
The Rotary's worldwide mission is to battle polio and provide clean water to under-developed countries.
"The musicians and their fans will get together, have fun and support a good cause," Lasko said.
"Some of the proceeds also support Richland Rotary Club's community-improvement projects in local neighborhoods."
Lasko said streamlining the event also includes having the bands share equipment to maintain a quick changeover between sets.
"We also will be chancing off four or five quality gift baskets," Lasko said.
"Last year, we had about a dozen, but decided to combine more of the gifts in order to make each basket more desirable."
Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
All advance ticket holders will be eligible to win raffle prizes.
"We hope to attract as many as 300 people," Lasko said.
For advance tickets, contact Lasko at 412-610-0043.
If you go ...
What: Second annual Rotary Rock Fest.
Where: Ace's, 316 Chestnut St. in the Cambria City section of Johnstown.
When: 9 p.m. Feb. 9; doors open at 8.
Tickets: In advance; call 412-610-0043.
Cost: $10 in advance; $12 at the door.

Public School Recognition Division
Application for Recognition of Schools
The 2013-2014 Application for Recognition of Schools (ARS) is now available and open on IWAS. As in previous years the ARS is available in IWAS for public school administrators, school district personnel, and Regional Office of Education personnel to submit their applications electronically in a timely fashion. No paper submissions will be accepted. Please note the following:
- Each public school is required to submit the ARS electronically to its district office prior to September 30, 2013. Each school district must submit the ARS for each of its schools to the respective Regional Office of Education by the close of business on September 30, 2013. In the case of Chicago Public Schools (CPS), each school is required to submit the ARS electronically to the CPS Office of Education Policy and Procedures by the close of business on September 30, 2013. The Regional Offices of Education and the CPS Office of Education Policy and Procedures are then required to electronically transmit the ARS to the Illinois State Board of Education by the close of business on October 15, 2013.
- In addition to the Application for Recognition of Schools, each school district must submit a list of all paraprofessionals it employs to the State Superintendent of Education with the application as per 23 Ill Admin. Code 1.630 (b) (5) (A).
- Again for the 2013-2014 school year, school districts must submit information concerning first and second year principals eligible for the Illinois New Principal Mentoring Program as per Public Act 94-1039.
- Again for the 2013-2014 school year school, districts are being asked about teacher and principal evaluations. Each item, which includes the applicable statutory reference, must be answered either "yes" or "no". Though implementation dates of PERA and Senate Bill 7 may vary, the items in this section apply to all school districts in Illinois. Important note: due to confusion in the previous application submission, a district will not be able to submit the ARS for its schools [see paragraph (a) above] until it has submitted the Teacher and Principal Evaluation responses to the Regional Superintendent of Schools.
Reminder: Applications for Recognition must be approved by your Board of Education.

The Houdon Bust Gallery features Mount Vernon's most prized artifact, Jean-Antoine Houdon's terra cotta bust of George Washington. This remarkable sculpture – the most accurate likeness of Washington ever created – is installed at Washington's height to give visitors an indication of how he towered over most of his contemporaries.
The gallery features extraordinary Washington objects from England, Europe, China, and America that reflect the man and his love of beauty, his refined taste, his status within his world, and his purchasing power. Visitors will feel as if they are present in the dining room of the presidential residence in Philadelphia, at one of the dinners that Washington held every Thursday afternoon, when Congressmen and other government officials were invited to dine with the President.
Focusing on the more public persona of George Washington, this gallery features artifacts relating to his military career and presidency. Washington's swords, silver camp cups, and a pair of silver spurs he gave to a soldier at Valley Forge so that he could ride to Boston for much-needed supplies are displayed in addition to a variety of objects pertaining to Washington's inauguration.
In this gallery visitors get a glimpse of the Washingtons' daily lives, whether at Mount Vernon or on the road. Washington's ducking gun, hunting horn, riding crop, and fishing tackle box showcase domestic life while "life on the road" is represented by Washington's Revolutionary War folding camp bed along with his trunk, razor, telescope, and saddlebag.
The cases in this gallery present personal objects used and worn by George and Martha Washington, their children, and grandchildren. Objects in the gallery range from George Washington's shoe and knee buckles to Martha Washington's earrings and necklaces.
Washington's insatiable hunger for knowledge, his keen curiosity, and his life-long desire to better understand the world around him, is shown through manuscripts, maps, prints, and books. These rare and important objects address broader topics such as our country's founding documents, slavery, and Washington's Last Will and Testament. This gallery has the tranquil feel of an elegant library and includes Washington's recently conserved globe, spectacles, inkstand, and one of his Argand lamps.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Aaron Canon is only a high school junior, but already feels confident he'll be able to make a living when he graduates.
His goal: to become a licensed cosmetologist. It's been his dream, and it is his passion, he says. Bored with more traditional high school classes, Canon is motivated in his technical classes. He's interested and doing well. He's not alone.
Canon is one of a growing number of students pursing Career and Technical Education courses through Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.
"This is something I wanted to do for a long time, and it's just great that I get to do it in high school. It's just great," he said, as he sat in a cosmetology course that felt more like advanced science than hair styling.
Down the hall at North Mecklenburg High School is Natalie Cunningham. She is taking Introduction to Culinary Arts. Her parents support her.
"Because they know I have a passion for cooking. They want me to pursue my dream," she says.
Cunningham plans to go to college and is eyeing Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte.
North Mecklenburg Principal Matt Hayes says his school's CTE curriculum is paying off for students here. He says many will forgo college and finish their certification and join the workforce.
But others are using their technical skills to earn money while going to college. They're finishing their degrees without heavy debt.
Teacher Melissa Prickett says she sees all types of students in her Cosmetology classes.
Trickett believes the courses are gaining popularity because more students are realizing they don't want to go to a traditional college right away, and might not want to go to a four-year university at all.
"We really in need of people in the community to do hair, cook meals and be able to fix cars. We need these skills as a society," said Prickett.
But Hayes says the programs are in need of upgrades. He's hoping voter's will approve the November bond package that would provide up to $8.64 million for CTE improvements at his school and others.
The programs are expensive he says, because they require special facilities and technology upgrades that other courses do not. North Mecklenburg's Automotive Class has a fully equipped garage.
The Cosmetology room has a row of dryers, manicure stations and sinks. The Horticulture wing is equipped with a green room and the Culinary Art Kitchen looks like something from a professional cooking show.
Hayes says the equipment has to be updated and current to meet state criteria for each technical skill.
And both the principal and teachers say the better equipment motivates the students to do well.
In addition to North Mecklenburg, Garringer West Mecklenburg and Independence High Schools also offer Career and Technical Education.

LULWORTH, UNITED KINGDOM - OCTOBER 14: A Deaths Head Hawkmoth is photographed at Butterfly Conservation's head office on October 14, 2013 in Lulworth, England. This weekend saw the annual Moth Night where moth recorders, lepidopterists and moth enthusiasts across the country ventured out and take part in the annual moth night survey. The annual census is organised by Butterfly Conservation and Atropos, and hoped to raise awareness of moths and their importance in the food chain. The findings of the survey help provide a picture of populations across the country, and how they are affected by climate change. It is thought that climate change in the form of warmer, wetter winters reduced the survival of some of Britains most charismatic moths. Around 2,500 species of moth are found in the British Isles compared to approximately 70 butterflies. Moths are split into two groups, macro, and the smaller micro moth, with different species across a range of habitat able to be found flying throughout the year. Moths play a major role in the food chain providing food for predators such as bats, and playing their part as major pollinators much like butterflies and bees. Though most fly at night, there are also several day flying moths such as tiger moths. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

The motto
of Southern Methodist University,
Veritas Liberabit Vos
(the truth shall set you free), epitomizes the ideals of an SMU education
and is the fundamental principle for the University Curriculum. The wisdom
to acquire and critically reflect on existing knowledge and the insight and
capacity to create new knowledge are the hallmarks of an educated person and
exemplify the characteristics we seek to instill at SMU.
The UC emphasizes Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). In designing the UC with this focus on SLOs, the faculty have identified what they expect you to think about, learn, and experience, but just how you choose to do so will be up to you, in consultation with your academic advisors and your professors.
Every students path through the UC should and will be different. Any course may satisfy one or more UC requirements if faculty committees determine that the course provides ample opportunity for students to develop and demonstrate the SLOs associated with the requirement. Credit-hour accumulation will remain the primary way most of you will fulfill these outcomes, but some of you may choose to meet some requirements through non-course or non-credit activities.
The UC cannot be reduced to a checklist of specific required courses in specific departments. The number of courses and/or credit hours needed to complete the UC will vary according to your individual academic background, preparation, major, and curricular choices. The UC can be met through any part of your undergraduate career, including work in the major or minor, elective courses, or approved and reflected-upon activities.
The UC consists of three main course work components: Foundations, Pillars and Capstone. In addition to these course work components, there are eight different Proficiencies and Experiences that can be satisfied either by coursework or by out-of-class experiences through which students develop and demonstrate the proficiencies.
The list of courses that satisfy various UC requirements will vary by semester, especially with respect to identified and approved Proficiencies and Experiences.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), or sticker price, is the price recommended by the manufacturer for this vehicle. This is a reference point for negotiations with the dealer. Most vehicles typically are purchased for less than MSRP.
Updated weekly, the Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price shows you what others have been paying for this car recently. It's based on current market conditions like vehicle availability, local demand, and seasonal buying trends.
The white zone falls below the Fair Market Range. Special circumstances such as retiring model years, unpopular color, excess inventory and seasonality may all be contributing factors to sales that occur in this range.

The red zone falls above the Fair Market Range. Special circumstances such as exceptionally low supply with high demand, options installed by the dealership, credit, and seasonality may all be contributing factors to sales that occur in this range.

The midsize pickup field has been whittled down to just two players for 2014: the Nissan Frontier and the Toyota Tacoma. The very capable 2014 Frontier offers a more powerful V6 and its entry-level model comes with a more spacious King Cab as standard fare. As an alternative to a full-size pickup, the Frontier offers impressive power and tow ratings. However, as some newer full-size trucks now beat the Frontier's fuel economy and towing, the Frontier's smaller footprint becomes its most appealing selling point. A look at some of the Frontier's features give a clue that this truck is designed more for recreation than as a heavy hauling work truck. From its spray-in bedliner to its advanced navigation and infotainment options, the Frontier is designed to be rugged, comfortable and affordable.You'll Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a tough and affordable truck with serious off-road credentials, but you don't have the space for a full-size pickup, the 2014 Nissan Frontier is the perfect solution. Tow-rated up to 6,500 pounds, the Frontier can pull more than most crossover SUVs.You May Not Like This Car If...
Big jobs still require a big truck. The Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 have more power and get better gas mileage than the Frontier, although they also cost a fair bit more. Those seeking a simple regular-cab truck will have to look to the Toyota Tacoma.What's New for 2014
New standard features for the S trim with automatic transmission include Bluetooth, cruise control and air conditioning, while heated cloth seats are made standard on PRO-4X and available on the SV. Three new wheel options, upgraded audio and navigation, and a sliding rear window on all Crew Cabs except the S trim round out the changes for 2014.Driving It Driving Impressions
As a daily driver, the 2014 Nissan Frontier holds its own against the Toyota Tacoma and drives as well as most truck-based SUVs. However, the Frontier's ride does become noticeably harsh when it encounters rough pavement and unpaved roads. When equipped with the 4.0-liter V6 the Frontier feels strong and confident, offering up plenty of power for passing or pulling, even at high speeds. The V6's fuel economy, on the other hand, didn't impress us, especially in around-town driving where we averaged about 15 mpg. Inside, we found the Frontier's cabin quite comfortable, with a well laid out dash and firm seating. Unfortunately, the large exterior mirrors produced more wind noise than we'd have liked. For those looking to take their truck off-road, the Desert Runner package offers 4-wheel drive and Bilstein performance shocks, while the PRO-4X brings additional skidplating and a locking center differential.Favorite Features
This helpful feature comes with the navigation system and provides up-to-date information regarding traffic, weather and even points of interest. The new Apps feature allows integration with an iPhone or Android smartphone, further expanding the system's capabilities.
Keeping objects from falling out of the truck bed is always a good idea, which is why we love the available built-in Utili-track system. With adjustable tie-down cleats built into the bed, the system can be configured to hold all manner of cargo or equipment.
The 2014 Frontier's cabin is versatile and comfortable. King Cab models feature a pair of small, forward-facing rear seats with storage bins beneath, while Crew Cab models have a 3-row bench that's comfortable enough for adults. The King Cab has easy rear access thanks to half-size rear-hinged doors, while Crew Cabs use regular doors. All Frontiers boast storage versatility with rear seats that flip up to create open space and a front passenger seat that folds flat to become an impromptu workstation. Cloth is the standard seat material, with leather available. Lumbar support in higher trims improves driver comfort. We wish the steering wheel would telescope and not just tilt.Exterior
With its raised fender flares and blocky design, the Frontier has a familiar family resemblance to Nissan's Xterra SUV and Titan full-size truck. Unlike the mammoth Titan, the smaller Frontier has a sportier, more athletic attitude. King Cab and Crew Cab models have the same overall length of 205.5 inches. A long bed is available in Crew Cabs, giving them the same 73.3-inch size of those found on King Cab models. PRO-4X models have multiple skidplates to protect vital parts from nature's jabs. Top-line Crew Cab SL trims have tubular roof rails similar to those on the Xterra.Notable Standard Equipment
Except for base S King Cab models with a manual transmission, most 2014 Nissan Frontiers are reasonably well equipped. The base S with an automatic includes air conditioning, cruise control, an AM/FM/CD stereo and Bluetooth. Stepping up to SV trim adds features like power windows and mirrors as well as a USB-equipped audio system with color display. PRO-4X models have 4-wheel drive standard and a locking differential. The Crew Cab SL brings leather seats, Rockford Fosgate premium audio and the NissanConnect system. Frontier King Cab models come with a 4- or 6-cylinder engine, while all Crew Cab models exclusively use the V6.Notable Optional Equipment
Most convenience and performance features are tied to varying trim levels of the Frontier, but some packages are available. Among them is a Preferred Package for King Cab S models that adds the much-needed AM/FM/CD player and air conditioning. Higher-trim models can add features such as the Utili-track tie-down system, a rearview monitor, a tow hitch, navigation, Bluetooth wireless streaming and Pandora radio. Crew Cab models can substitute their roughly 5-foot-long bed for one that's just over six feet like those in King Cab models. Accessories include a bedliner, step rails and even a dome tent for the truck bed.Under the Hood
Two engines are offered in the 2014 Nissan Frontier: a 4-cylinder that's available in rear-wheel-drive (2WD) King Cab models, or a more powerful V6 offered in all Crew Cab models and higher trims of the King Cab. Transmission choices include 5-speed and 6-speed manuals or a 5-speed automatic. Even 4-cylinder models have a respectable tow rating of 3,500 pounds, and rear-wheel-drive V6 models can tow up to 6,500 pounds. All 2014 Nissan Frontiers run on regular unleaded gasoline. The Frontier's fuel economy is rated at only up to 23 mpg for 4-cylinder models or 22 mpg for V6 versions.
2.5-liter inline-4
152 horsepower @ 5,200 rpm
171 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm

EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 mpg (2WD, manual), 16/22 mpg (2WD, automatic), 16/21 mpg (4WD, manual), 15/21 mpg (4WD, automatic)
The 2014 Nissan Frontier has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just under $19,000 for an S trim King Cab with a manual transmission. At the other end of the spectrum, a 4WD Frontier Crew Cab SL starts close to $35,000. The Toyota Tacoma's base price is a few hundred less than the Frontier's and provides more standard features but less interior room. Roomier versions of the Tacoma with rear seating are comparable in price to similarly equipped Frontiers. Before buying, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price below to see what others in your area are paying for the 2014 Nissan Frontier. In the battle for resale value, the Nissan holds its own, but isn't as high as that of the Toyota in this 2-horse race.

Cheat Sheet | Reported by Sonal Mehrotra (With PTI inputs), Edited by Amit Chaturvedi | Updated: May 13, 2013 14:10 IST
The police said that the situation was today tense but under control. Around 500 CRPF personnel have been rushed to maintain law and order near Satlok Ashram in Karontha village which witnessed violence yesterday. (Watch)
The tension began when policemen tried to stop protesting villagers from marching towards the ashram. The villagers were angry with Rampal Maharaj, the godman who has been accused of defaming the Vedas (religious texts).
The protesters torched four government vehicles, including three buses of Haryana Roadways and an ambulance, and some motor-bikes near the ashram on the Rohtak-Jhajjar road. The mob also smashed window panes of several other vehicles.
In 2006, Rampal Maharaj was arrested on charges of rape, murder and rioting and his ashram was seized. He got out of the jail in 2008. In April this year, the Supreme Court ruled that the ashram could stay where it was.
Unhappy with the godman's return, a group of angry villagers armed with lathis tried to march towards the ashram in an attempt to confront and get him to leave the premises. They clashed with the godman's supporters.
The bodies of three people who were killed and the injured, which include 50 policemen, were brought to Rohtak's PGI Hospital. According to hospital authorities, all three were brought dead and had bullet injuries.
Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has ordered a magisterial probe into the violence. Describing the violence as "unfortunate", Mr Hooda urged villagers to maintain peace and law and order situation.
Director General of Police (DGP) Haryana, SN Vashisht, is at the spot to take stock of the situation. Senior district and police officials also met village elders this morning and urged them to maintain calm.
There is heavy police presence and heavy barricades at various places on the Rohtak-Jhajjar Highway.
Prohibitory orders have been imposed in the area under Section 144. Additional forces, including the Rapid Action Force (RAF), have been called in from adjoining districts to ease the tension in the area.

Clare O'Connor, Forbes Staff
The consumer economy: retail, and the people reinventing it.
A gun control group backed by billionaire Mike Bloomberg Bloomberg is calling on Mexican food chain Chipotle to ban guns following a meeting of open carry activists in a Texas restaurant this past weekend.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is circulating a petition in response to an "armed trip" to a Dallas-area Chipotle by representatives of Open Carry Texas.
A Facebook photo of the gathering cropped up on social media — as did another (below) showing two men apparently unrelated to Open Carry Texas inside a Chipotle outlet armed with SKS rifles, semi-automatic weapons of the kind once used by both the Soviet Army and the Viet Cong.*
"Moms want to know that when we take our families out to eat burritos, we won't be confronted with bullets," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, a grassroots activism network she formed in the wake of the Newtown murders that is now under the umbrella of Bloomberg's $50 million Everytown movement.
"We support the Second Amendment but we also need to feel safe and secure in the places we take our children. In states where no background checks or training are required to buy semi-automatic rifles and carry them openly in public, businesses have a duty to protect their employees and patrons. That's why we are calling on Chipotle and other businesses to follow Starbucks Starbucks' lead and make a clear statement that firearms are not welcome in their restaurants."
Watts pointed to a February incident inside a Utah Chipotle, when a gun owner with a conceal carry permit dropped his handgun, causing it to discharge. The man wasn't cited as he "legally [had] a right to carry his gun that way," according to the Sandy Police.
Open Carry Texas founder C.J. Grisham told Forbes that this past weekend's activity was not a demonstration, but simply a meal following an event.
"We don't go there just to carry guns into a restaurant," he said. "We always let the manager know we're coming. We try very hard to make people feel comfortable."
Grisham said his group's policy is to send an unarmed person into a restaurant to seek permission to dine and to warn staff and customers in advance.
"We're peaceful, we're looking for a place to eat, but we have guns," he said. "If we're not welcome, we're not going to spend money there."
Traditionally, Chipotle's policy towards weapons inside restaurants has been to follow state laws. Forbes reached out to the restaurant chain for a comment and will update this post with any response received.
UPDATE: Chipotle has asked customers to leave their guns at home in a statement released on Monday afternoon:
"The issue of gun ownership or gun rights has become one of the most contentious debates in the country. Chipotle has never taken a position on this issue, as we focus instead on our mission to change the way people think about and eat fast food.
Recently participants from an "open carry" demonstration in Texas brought guns (including military-style assault rifles) into one of our restaurants, causing many of our customers anxiety and discomfort. Because of this, we are respectfully asking that customers not bring guns into our restaurants, unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel.
Historically, we felt it enough to simply comply with local laws regarding the open or concealed carrying of firearms, because we believe that it is not fair to put our team members in the uncomfortable position of asking that customers refrain from bringing guns into our restaurants. However, because the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers, we think it is time to make this request.
Upon seeing armed men entering a restaurant – I have to make a split second life or death situation decision – do I run/hide or relax? In the time it takes for me to weigh the cost benefits analysis of being in an active shooter event or finishing my burrito the adrenaline that is coursing through me as the fight or flight instinct kicks in – has also suppressed my appetite – so I either run out screaming or I walk out pissed off my lunch was ruined – In both cases I leave and won't be returning until lunch at Chipotle isn't a burrito and an existential crisis.
Are you really that insecure? You do not have to fear the person acting in a none threatening manner. The firearm he is carrying legally is something you should feel comforting about. It is the wild eyed crazy who hides his pistol until he is about to use it to be feared.
People don't considerately act like stereotypes.
You don't fear the Police but they are just as you say, armed men. Do you believe the State is made of a finer clay?
Exactly. Go to Chick-fil-A if you want to have a gun party.
Makes perfect sense. When I see an obese redneck with a loaded assault rifle, a wave of comfort washes over me, as I know nothing bad could possibly happen (that's why there are no documented cases of accidental shootings by gun owners).
"Do you believe the State is made of a finer clay?"
Thank you for that beautiful piece of prose Taan Maat!
I don't agree with banned people carrying legal weapons into and restaurant. I would just refuse to patronise the same places.
Fortunately, here in Australia we don't have to confront this
The local Chipotle I frequent is full of armed gunmen when I go there for lunch. As a matter of fact, I think it is the local policy of giving certain armed gunmen free lunch – the police don't normally pay; yet the armed men and women from the local military base are charged.
I feel very safe bringing my children to Chipotle for lunch when i know armed gunmen will be there.
Are you kidding me! Just because it is currently the right to bear arms, that doesn't mean it makes any sense to carry an assault rifle into a public establishment. This may be rash, but neither one of these yahoos have the aptitude or sense of responsibility to carry a butter knife let alone an AK. Has either one of them served their country in the military, police department are in public servant position warranting them to have some knowledge of the abilities and proper usage of these type of weapons? From their appearance and their cutting edge sense of style, I am betting not. I have been on both ends of these weapons, know what they do to both the sender and the recipient. If a wannabe needs to do these type of things to define themselves, take the ASVAB, sign on the dotted line, and serve someone other than themselves. 20 years, 2 years in Afghanistan, 4-95.

Helpful Tips About Internet Scams
Although the internet has made it possible to bring more buyers and sellers of vehicles together, there are warning signs to be aware of in order to protect yourself, your vehicle, your money and your identity.
Through the years, we have heard about scam attempts (and some that have been successful, unfortunately), when buying or selling online.
How to help protect yourself from scams: In many cases, there seems to be a pattern that the scammers follow. They will make contact through email first and generally will not follow through with a phone call when asked. If they do make a call to you, their phone number will come through as "Private" or "Blocked". Be persistent in requesting a phone number where you can call them back.
Quite often their need to purchase your vehicle is urgent, and due to the urgency, they are unable to physically come and look at the vehicle. They plan to send one of their agents to look at it and/or pick it up. Often times, they claim to be buying the vehicle as a gift and since they are out of the country, they can only make the purchase via PayPal or by wiring the money. Some emails contain words which will raise a red flag, for example, they will call the vehicle a "unit". They may say that they will send their "agent" or "deligate" to come and look at the vehicle. It's important to remember also that these are only samples and not all scammers speak with broken English. Scammers come in all shapes and sizes, from a variety of countries with different levels of education and communication and from all walks of life.
If the car is being shipped, insist that the buyer pay the shipper separately, rather than sending you "extra" money to pay the shipper... another red flag!
Although PayPal is convenient, it's rare that a vehicle would be purchased using PayPal, therefore, your PayPal email address and password is something nobody needs to know.
It's important to never disclose your bank information. Check with your personal banking institution to see if they offer a type of wire transfer/personal check/cashier's check procedure to follow in order to protect yourself from fraud. Banks offer "escrow" accounts where the funds will be held until the bank clears the funds with the issuing bank and will hold the title to the vehicle, to protect the buyer. Involve your bank in the transaction, so that determining if the wire transfer/check/funds are legit, aren't solely your responsibility. The banks are more knowledgeable and familiar with these types of situations, so rely on the professionals to insure that your transaction runs smoothly and scam-free. If the buyer/seller is serious and legitimate, they will appreciate the steps you take to protect their funds/vehicle and banking information as well.
It's a term that's been used for decades and stands true today... "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
Listen to your gut and respond accordingly.

I once owned a Roland Juno 60. It's a great synth and certainly has the classic Roland sound. The guys at Togu Audio Line (TAL) released the U-NO-60 a few years ago and have been updating thier emulation often. The 62 brings us even closer to the original.
The U-NO-60 vst plugin is a polyphonic virtual analogue synth with a unique filter sound. An original JUNO 60 is used as reference for the oscillators and filters. Like the original, the plugin is capable of self-resonance and thus could be used to some degree as a tone generator. The filter section also features controls for envelope amount and polarity, LFO modulation and keyboard tracking. In addition, a non-resonant highpass filter is provided to thin out lower frequencies. – kunz.corrupt.ch

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- The rain did not dampen spirits on the day thousands were to convene for Area 11's Special Olympics in Rock Hill. Overnight rain forced organizers to cancel the games for the third time in its 43 year history.
"We knew it was going to wreak havoc on the fields at Cherry Park. There were a lot of muddy puddles on the field because of the amount of rain. We really did not want our athletes to come out and take a chance. Our big thing was safety," says Director Kathy Covington.
1000 athletes registered to compete Friday. Just as many people volunteered for the event, featuring athletes from York Chester and Lancaster Counties.
While the game was canceled, other activities went on as planned.
Castle Heights Middle School athletes and former Olympians gathered at City Hall Friday afternoon to accept recognition from South Carolina Senator Tim Scott.
"Your work on encouraging everyone to realize their full potential—it's an inspiration to us all," he said.
Students at Richard Drive Elementary School were also on hand to support the program. Students had been learning about the athletes and the Special Olympics.
"Special Olympics rocks," they said in unison.
Josh Myers, a Special Olympics ambassador and athlete said he felt like the "president" when the Senator handed him the American flag that had once flown over the state capitol.
Myers had medaled in Power-lifting and planned to compete in this year's games.
"Kinda disappointed, but hey, there is always next year. It's about having fun and trying your best, and making a lot of new friends," he said.
Theresa Boehme was hoping to bring home the gold again in Bocce ball, but she is content knowing she had the ultimate experience just last June. She won gold at the World Olympics in Athens Greece.
"Everybody was proud of me," she says.
Logically, the event cannot be rescheduled. Director Covington says there will still me plenty of events to keep athletes busy. The State Special Olympics is just three weeks away.

Honda CR-V Dealerships
We just happen to have a discussion called Customer Satisfaction Surveys. :shades:
The issue comes up often in the Stories from the Sales Frontlines discussion too.
And yeah, bonuses and pay plans are often tied to good surveys, and some buyers "trade" a good survey for a discount on accessories or a tank of gas.

Yesterday, I bought a Honda CRV 4wd EX and all season floor mats (list-$149, typically sells for $99 online) for ~23,300+Taxes ($1330)+Title, license and prep. fee($395)=$25,000 OTD. The first offer I got from this dealership was $500 over invoice and the deal was finalized within 5 minutes over the phone!! I did not trade in anything. I added the extended warranty 8yr/100K $0 ded. for $885 (the dealer matched Bernardi's price without any hassle). The price on the CR-V+floor mats was $1587 below MSRP and I had a really pleasant buying experience from Don Jacobs Honda in Lexingtion, KY. If you live anywhere close to Lexington, I would highly recommend them. I drove 70 miles to buy from them as the local Louisville dealers would not budge more than $500-$1000 from MSRP. I ordered the CR-V last month and the vehicle was in before the salesperson said it would be in. The salesperson was very affable, courteous, and proactive in taking care of everything (called my insurance agent and gave the details of the car, kept me updated on the status of the car and emailed me the VIN when he knew, had the car ready to go when I said I would be in). No BS from the F&I person as well. Thoroughly pleased with the overall buying experience and they truly deserve 5's in the survey (Isellhondas-I am an engineer, teacher & like a good deal, 3 of your 4 criteria for giving the salesperson a bad survey). If anyone wants the salesperson's name email me.
beerlover Posts: 19CRV 4wd EX
$22800 Invoice (w dest charge guessing dest charge ~$600)
150 avg tag and fees
100 mats
23050 base
- 23695 you paid (23300+395 fees)
$695 you paid over invoice
Its the fees they got you on. I think if you look around you'll see fees typically run about $150 (title and doc fees) and they charged you $395
You still got a better deal than me by a hair and most people so don't feel bad.
The exact breakup is as follows:
$23,266.12(invoice of $22840+$100 incl. floormats and destination)
$1338.88 (taxes)
$395.00 (title, documentation, & prep fee).
The $395 fee is a bit on the higher side but is on par with the other honda dealers in KY. The minimum fee for all the local dealers was $249, but that dealership's OTD price was much higher. I negotiated using OTD price and I knew $25K was a good deal. I don't feel bad at all since my deal is comparable to the best deals people have gotten (per edmund's forums):).
marig0107 Posts: 92They were hard negotiators and so were we, but fact is, vehicle was too popular to go that much under invoice. However, even before we committed to the car, without prompting or putting money down, they secured the exact car we wanted to their fleet. So when we did decide on their offer, the car was already there. Also, their non-negotiable doc fees, well, at least half of them, if not more were cut. They just had to cut off of other things to make it go away. So on paper, doc fee is there, but on the extra add-ons, they were marked down.
I also highly recommend their internet sales guy, JR MCCoy. Super nice and helpful, which I know they are supposed to be, but this guy was not slick dealer like some. He even went thru our owners manuals, all of them, and placed post it flags on the should know now items...tee hee....good cause I hate reading manuals.
saprissa1 Posts: 4I just purchased a Honda CRV, and wanted to share my experiences with the handful of dealerships. We bought the car from Parker Johnstone, and they were good to work with. Not a lot of pressure from the sales staff, and really the negotiation didn't take more than 20 minutes. The one problem was that it took about 90 minutes to get the paperwork ready to sign (but only 15 mins to actually sign). That was pretty frustrating.
As for the other dealerships, the people at Bill Rogers Honda were very laid back. Easy to talk to, and they didn't seem to hold back on information relative to the cars in stock. Prices were competitive, but in the end the dealership was just too far away (50 miles) for me to make the trip. Dick Hannah had the best prices, but the sales staff was a little high pressure. The internet sales manager at Honda St. John's was pretty firm with pricing, but I appreciated the honesty.
As an aside, a friend of mine purchased a CR-V at Beaverton Honda and said it was a hassle free experience.
Edmunds now has a Dealer Ratings and Reviews page that's more "global" than just the Forums, so please take a few minutes to rate and review your dealers there too. Thanks!

mandsecretshop Posts: 1I like the Honda Oddessy van. I recently tried to buy one in fact. But the sales staff at my local dealership is horrible. I refuse to give any commission to people like that. How can I get around them to buy the car? I thought about driving to the next town (and would clearly save money in doing so) but worry that service would be a hassle. Do I risk that I would simply never have to use the service department???? Open to suggestions/ solutions.
motoguy128 Posts: 146If hte sales departent is poor, then it's liekly the service department is just as badly managed. Thsi is the case with our local nissan dealer. The closest dealer is 40 miels away, but we've had such bad expereinces we actually go to the nextclosest dealer 100 miles away. But for a reasonable price, they have a pick/drop-off and loaner service. I do most of the basic maintenance myself, but for the major service intervals, I use that service.
Fortunately for my CR-V, the cleast Hodna dealer so far seems pretty good and that's where I purchased it from. I didn't get the best price, but I'd rather pay an extra $500 to establish a good reputation and saved a 200 miles rounds trip...plus the nearest dealer had what I wanted in stock.
We just picked a new Honda Cr-v Ex-l 2013. We checked everything out before signing the contract but I did not notice there were small pieces of broken glass making noise when turning. Service guys said the rear window was broken before delivery to a dealer and somebody did not mention that in the papers. There were also some scratches on the rear wiper. We are getting a new wiper and glass is going to get cleaned up at the service free of charge. We also asked to check for structural damage and they said there was none - I noticed some sloppy welding in the rear when you open a hatch.
They gave us a thorough report. I am going back to the dealer to complain again. Should I ask for a discount or a new car? We know the general manager quite well and it is the 3rd car we bought from them. It was a smooth ride before until now.
I am bit disappointed that something like happened and has not been disclosed. I am fully aware that cars do get damaged before delivery and most of us will never know but this time they did not even bother to clean it up so they got caught red handed.
pompom Posts: 4I found damage to a Nissan that I had purchased as new from a dealer. Back then I found out that if the cost to replace/repair is over a certain thresh hold they have to not only disclose it to you but can not sell as new. I contacted the Nissan headquarters who sent out a person to check on this (it was body damage that had been repaired unknown to me). I would ask for a new car but good luck with that. I am currently a Honda owner and received my car in very unsatisfactory condition. My first and last Honda!
The threshold for disclosure varies quite a bit depending on what state you are in. Here's one example in NC - 5% of the retail value is the threshold.
I think most states require the dealer to disclose any repairs if you ask but who thinks to ask?
That link has some suggestions about what you can do.

Cumberland Times-News
To most adults, an estimate is the amount of money that house repair or car repair will likely cost you. These estimates are made by a house repair person or someone in the service department of your car dealer.
But there are many questions about nature, our way of life and sky bodies that can be investigated by high school mathematics. Why I decided to write this column was the publication of "Guesstimation 2.0" by Lawrence Weinstein.
This book is a Princeton University paperback with ISBN 978-0-691-15080-2. It is a sequel to "Guesstimation" by the same author.
What kind of estimates does Weinstein do in this book? Here are a few questions in this book: How far would all the rolls of toilet paper used in the U.S. in a year stretch? How high would a stack of a trillion paper dollar bills be?
And How does the volume of all man made structures in the U.S. compare with the volume of Mount Everest?
Here are some basics of estimation. Most estimates are based on considering the frequency of events over a certain period. To find the frequency, we need to come up with some reasonable factors.
Each factor may be either a bit high or a bit low, but when you multiply them together, they tend to offset each other.
An example can be quite helpful in understand estimation. Here's an example from my summer time physics class. It's about something that most of us have to deal with, bird excrement (poop) on our cars or light trucks.
Some of us try to clean it up quickly while others (myself included), wait for the next good rain to wash it off. (My car is rather old and not the sleek, shiny car I bought 13 years ago.) Let's consider a day in spring or fall when flocks of migrating birds fly over Cumberland.
The estimate I seek is how many pounds of bird poop land on all the personal vehicles in Cumberland each day.
First, we have to estimate the number of birds that spend the better part of day over our fair city. From what I've seen (hundreds of birds in view at a time), I estimate that perhaps 10,000 birds spend significant time over Cumberland in one day.
How many times a day do birds drop their wastes? Birds often eat worms, garbage, road kill (just the bigger birds), bird seed, and also drink out of puddles, bird baths, water bowls set out for dogs, etc.
I mention drinking as birds drop a mix of liquid and solid wastes at the same time as they fly. To me, it seems reasonable that a typical bird may void 10 times a day as they fly. What is the weight of an average bird drop? I estimate 0.01 pounds per deposit.
So with these numbers, we can get a total amount of bird excrement dropped on Cumberland. We must multiply the number of birds times the number of drops times the weight of each drop. This is 10,000 x 10 x 0.01 = 1,000 pounds!
Now how much of this stuff lands on cars or light trucks? On any one day, there may be 10,000 of these vehicles either parked or in motion in the city of Cumberland. (These are not just the cars or light trucks of Cumberland residents but also owned by commuters from nearby Maryland towns and Pennsylvania and West Virginia.)
Cumberland can be approximated as a rectangle that's 15,000 feet E-W and 10,000 feet N-S. Then the area of Cumberland would be 150 million square feet. A typical motor vehicle may be 15 feet long and 6 feet wide or about 100 square feet.
So the total area of cars/light trucks would be 100 square feet x 10,000 vehicles or 1 million square feet.
The last step is to multiply the total load of bird poop by the fraction of the area covered by Cumberland light vehicles. So 1000 pounds x 1 million /150 million = 6.67 pounds of bird droppings each day.
Future columns will treat some more estimates involving sky objects and money.
SKY SIGHTS AHEAD: Later this week, the moon will return to the evening dusk. On Thursday, a slender crescent moon will be seen quite low in the southwestern 5:45 p.m. dusk. To the left of the moon at that time will be the planet Mars.
On Friday, the moon will appear above and to the left of Mars. Mars is now rather dim, being on the far side of its orbit. On Saturday at 6 a.m., the brilliant planet Venus will appear above Spica, the brightest star of Virgo.

Mike Myatt, Contributor
I write about leadership myths, and bust them one-by–one.
Want to test your leadership mettle? See how well you do when leading those not inclined to follow. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people may be comforting, it might even seem like a good idea, but it's not the stuff of great leadership. The best leaders are not only capable of effectively leading those who hold differing opinions and perspectives – they thrive on it. In today's column I'll share 8 Tips for transforming tough relationships into productive relationships.
Poor leaders find themselves mired down in organizations unnecessarily suffering from corporate politics, turf-wars, empire building, title inflated ego and arrogance, and the list goes on… Effective leaders don't have to deal with the aforementioned dysfunction because they understand how to align opposing views and diverse interests.
If unique perspectives, philosophical differences, and dissenting opinions are viewed as an opportunity as opposed to a set-back, growth and development are certain to follow. What I like to refer as "positional gaps" are best closed by listening to all sides, finding common ground, and then letting the principle of doing the right thing guide the process.
When a leader develops the skill to convert negative conflict into creative tension, they have found the secret sauce for developing high performance teams. Mature leaders see individual differences as fuel for development, not as barriers to success. The goal of a leader is not to clone him/herself, but to harness individual strengths for the greater good of the organization. This is best accomplished by respecting individual talents; not stifling them.
It is absolutely possible to build very productive relationships with even the most adversarial of individuals. Regardless of a person's original intent, opinion or position, the key to closing a positional gap is simply a matter of finding common ground in order to establish rapport. Moreover, building rapport is easily achieved assuming your motivations for doing so are sincere. I have always found that rapport is quickly developed when you listen, care, and attempt to help people succeed.
While building and maintaining rapport with people with whom you disagree is certainly more challenging, many of the same rules expressed in my comments above still apply. I have found that often times conflict resolution simply just requires more intense focus on understanding the needs, wants and desires of the other party. If opposing views are worth the time and energy to debate, then they are worth a legitimate effort to gain alignment on perspective and resolution on position. However this will rarely happen if lines of communication do not remain open. Candid, effective communication is best maintained through a mutual respect and rapport.
In an attempt to resolve any conflict, the first step is to identify and isolate the specific areas of difference being debated. The sad fact is many business people are absolutists in that they only see things in terms of rights and wrongs. Thinking in terms of "my way" is right and therefore "other ways" are wrong is the basis for polarizing any relationship, which quickly results in converting discussions into power struggles.
However when a situation can be seen through the lens of difference, and a position is simply a matter of opinion not a totalitarian statement of fact, then cooperation and compromise is possible. Identifying and understanding differences allows people (regardless of title) to shift their position through compromise and negotiation while maintaining respect and rapport. The following perspectives if kept top of mind will help in identifying and bridging positional gaps:
The following 8 tips (listed in no particular order of preference) will allow you to move from being entangled in a positional or philosophical juxtaposition toward finding alignment :
The bottom line is that people matter, and but for people, organizations don't exist. It's important to remember that a manager exists when the company says so, but that said manager only really becomes a leader when their team says so. As a leader you have only two choices when it comes to your people – serve them and care for them. Sometimes this means working through challenging scenarios and situations. If as a leader you're not up to this task, then you should rethink your decision to lead.

Hi Mike. This article reinforced my belief in transformational style of leadership as oppose to the transactional style. I also strongly agree with you that the ability of a leader to clarify purpose, define what is acceptable behaviour and being consistent in execution is critical in leading people. Thank you for posting.
I love this statement, Mr. Myatt: "It's important to remember that a manager exists when the company says so, but that said manager only really becomes a leader when their team says so."
Something similar can also be said about politicians. They only become leaders when the nation says so.
Best part of the column: the opening image. Managing and leading the Dirty Dozen is a great analogy for what is often required of leaders.
