Michele DeLuca commentary
Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — William John White, III is learning about business on a Niagara Street corner this summer.
In a city that sometimes offers its young people an alluring view of the low road, the 13-year-old honor society student has stepped upon another route this summer.
The inspiration came when the LaSalle Prep student had a need. He wanted some new things — a couple more baseball caps and a few necklaces. He's a newly minted teen and developing his own sense of style.
Billy, like all the rest of us, had to make some choices about how to obtain those things he desired. He decided to get to work.
He and his neighbor, Jaquayla Harpham, 10, have been selling cool drinks at the end of their street, on Niagara and Seventh, since last Saturday, taking advantage of the fireworks traffic. Theirs is not a glamorous location. And the lemonade stand is not some big production. It's just a little white plastic table with a tattered purple cover.
But, the pair have earned about $100 in quarters since they began waving their signs.
As those of us in the news media spend much time telling stories about those who make the wrong choices, I always enjoy the opportunity to meet young people seeking a better way. So, I stopped by their little business on Tuesday, and chatted with these two. It got me to thinking about just what the two are learning as they holler and wave their sign at passing cars.
Between them, and Jaquayla's brother, Jayquan, 12, who sometimes helps out, the kids are getting some hands-on experience in business, which I expect will serve them lifelong. Such as:
• Marketing: When selling a product, it's always important to consider the cuteness factor. Billy's little step-sister, Destiny, 11 months, is sometimes recruited to coo and wave from her stroller, while a parent watches from a porch down the block. I got to see her in action. I must say that she's darned good at customer relations. And she seems to really enjoy the work.
• Profit and loss: Every morning Billy and Jaquayla determine what they'll need for the day, and head to the corner store to stock up. Tuesday, as rain threatened, they took a delivery from Billy's sister's boyfriend, who brought them fresh ice in a cooler after they lost a pitcher of product in an accidental spill.
• Innovation: Billy says they make the lemonade and Kool-aid with just a little more sugar than the recipes call for, which the young entrepreneurs are certain makes the drinks tastier.
• Supply and demand: The kids believe that by asking only a quarter, people are more likely to buy their product. To their surprise, many customers are paying a lot more. One guy paid $20 and change for two drinks. It appears that people want to help kids who are trying to help themselves. Especially if they have cuteness.
• Sales: As we all know, pitching product is not easy. But, Billy is learning the language and behavior of commercial exchange. "I think I'm learning how to sell," he told me. "I'm learning how to say stuff and how to get over the fear of being embarrassed."
So, to review, we have here a couple of city kids, living in a neighborhood where crime and drugs are rampant, choosing another way. They're also gathering experience to enhance their resumes when they head out to get their first jobs at 16.
Jaquayla and Jayquan's mom, Pearl Harpham, says it's nice to see her children doing something productive. "There's nothing for kids to do in this city," she told me when I phoned her. "Nothing at all."
Billy's stepdad, Roger Miller, is pretty proud of them, too. "I want other kids to see these guys are out working for something."
As a fan of the whole "it takes a village" theory on raising children, I can't help but interject here that if you are driving by 7th and Niagara streets any time soon, try to swing by Billy and Jaquayla's stand and purchase a cool, sweet drink. A quarter is a pretty cheap price to pay to fortify the business acumen of some ambitious city kids.
Remember though, because they're kids, they might not always be there.
"I think we'll probably stick with it most of the summer, but not all," Billy told me.
Which is fine. Because it is summer vacation, after all. And knowing when to open and when to close is probably the most important business lesson of all.

Currency wars are surprising phenomena to many people - one where countries compete to devalue their currencies relative to each other. While currency wars have been rare throughout history, there have been a couple in recent history, including the China's devaluation of the yuan versus the U.S. dollar and Japan's devaluation of the yen versus the euro.
The rationale behind a currency war is really quite simple. By devaluing one's currency, a country can make its exports cheaper than those produced by others, providing it with a clear advantage in international trade. Greater exports means employing more workers and therefore helping improve economic growth rates, at the eventual cost of inflation and unrest.
Currency devaluations themselves can be accomplished in several ways:
- Direct Intervention - A country can sell its own currency in order to buy foreign currencies, resulting in a direct devaluation of its currency on a relative basis.
- Interest Rates - A country can lower its interest rates and thereby create downward pressure on its currency, since it becomes cheaper to borrow against others.
- Quantitative Easing - A country can use its own currency to buy its own sovereign debt - effectively foreign debt - and ultimately depreciate its currency.
- Threats of Devaluation - A country can threaten to take any of the above actions and occasionally achieve the desired devaluation in the open market.
History of Currency Wars
The genesis of currency wars was arguable the 1930s, when several countries abandoned the gold standard in favor of their own currencies. During the Great Depression, many of these countries devalued their currencies in order to stimulate their economies. Trading partners quickly retaliated with their own devaluations and reduced overall trade levels.
Later in the 1980s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) began promoting inflation as advantageous for countries suffering from high unemployment or slow growth rates, and particularly those with high public debts. Many subsequent crisis, including the Asian Financial Crisis, led to countries pursuing similar strategies to grow without taking on debt.
Recent Currency Wars
The most popular currency war in recent times has been the one between the United States and China over the yuan's valuation. While it's little secret that the yuan was artificially undervalued, the U.S. underwent its own program of arguable devaluation under the guise of quantitative easing - a set of programs that issued currency to purchase government bonds and other assets.
By holding down the value of their currencies, the U.S. and China were arguable benefiting from a higher yen, euro and other emerging market currencies over this period. And more recently, the Bank of Japan decided in early 2013 to launch an open-ended bond buying program that would likely devalue the yen and boost the euro and other currencies.
Key Takeaway Points
- Currency wars are competitive devaluations that are launched in an effort to improve economic growth in participating countries.
- There are many different ways for countries to devalue their currency, ranging from direct intervention to indirect quantitative easing.
- The rationale behind a currency war is that lowering a currency's valuation will result in cheaper exports, which will improve employment.
- While currency wars first came about in the 1930s, they have becoming popular today under different terminology, such as quantitative easing.

Hello, I would like to add the search based on location to the wishlist.
Google map must appear with multiple markers indicating the places as a result of the search.
Replied by matjones123 July 23, 2014
No you still just don't get it do you, they are not going to do one either.
They have told us dozens of times that they have no interest in doing one for their customers.
It's almost 1000 requested, don't you think they would have done one by now.
They keep saying they work on priority jobs based on the amount of requests, so tell us then WIX.... "what other priority jobs are more important & with more requests than this one with almost 1000"???
There isn't any, so that answers that!

I'm already paying for Premium service. Generally very good but I don't appreciate being asked to pay extra for a Search facility to be on my web site.
Replied by admin739 July 22, 2014
Not having a search facility available as an app, especially when you obviously have one yourself, is not really acceptable on a premium package.
The payapp ones require me to publish my site before they work. Well, sorry but I'm not ready to do that.
Please could you provide a clear answer: are you going to provide search, if so, when and if not, why?
Please don't refer me to the answer you have already given.
Many thanks.

Yes a search bar is definitely necessary. I have noticed that when you add a new page and click the button to change the name of the page it comes up with a question asking for keywords!! So why do we not have a search bar yet!! It is hugely needed by a lot of us as I can see and should be in the next update of this software!!!

Glam Globalist
Charlotte Taylor Penguin Blouse ($336)
There is no doubt in our minds that the Glam Globalist will go crazy for this darling penguin blouse by Charlotte Taylor. From the vibrant hues to the quirky print, it reflects the GG's sensibilities perfectly! In addition to this oh-so cute top, we recommend checking out the designer's entire collection, which includes a scarf covered in red ants and a silky button-up with tiny robots-it's fun fashion at its best! For a more affordable option, do yourself a favor and pick up Topshop's Buttercup Slash Neck Top ($75) today.
echo Sporty Touch Glove ($42) in Fuchsia
While gloves are always a must for protecting your hands from winter's chill, we know firsthand that having to take them off every time you want to use your phone can become quite frustrating. Fortunately, the tech-savvy team at echo created a pair of gloves that are not only stylish, but are also equipped with an eLink fabric that interacts with touch screen devices. That means the Glam Globalist can text and tweet without skipping a beat!
NARS Kabuki Mini Lip Set ($125)
Our subject's obsession with statement-making color extends to her beauty look too, as she's often experimenting with a bold lip or bright shadow. Speaking of the former, we have a hunch she'll dig the dramatic look of this mini lip set by NARS. Inspired by Japan's kabuki theater, the wooden bento box includes three rich shades, ranging from a soft pink to a deep red, and a hand-spun wisteria-wrapped kabuki lip brush to allow for easy application. This is one keepsake she'll definitely want to hold on to!
Topshop Madison Leopard Print Loafers ($64) in Animal Print
We couldn't think of a more fitting pair of shoes for the GG than Topshop's Madison Leopard Print Loafers. For starters, they are perfect in keeping with some of the season's most beloved trends-the classic loafer and the animal print-and it's obvious she'll adore the fluorescent hot pink color! And with an affordable price tag to boot, we wouldn't be surprised if these flats landed on your wish list too!
Henrik Vibskov Judith Laptop Case ($190) in Multi
A laptop is a necessary accessory for this creative girl on the go, which is why a cool case like this one from Henrik Vibskov is sure to be on her list of must-haves this year. We love the Southwestern vibe of the multi-colored pattern, especially the lux mix of wool and cashmere. We're also fans of O'Hanlon Mills' Knit Laptop Case ($29), which has a similar pattern but at budget-friendly price!
Eddie Borgo Silver-Plated Turquoise Spike Earrings ($315)
The Glam Globalist is constantly on the lookout for interesting, sculptural jewelry, so these Eddie Borgo spike earrings are an ideal pick for this giftee. Thanks to the yellow and turquoise marbled design and sleek shape, they manage to be edgy, artsy, and modern all at the same time. If you can't spend quite so much, we'd like to direct you to Guess' Pretty in Punk Spike Earrings ($28), which are a bit more glamorous, but equally cool.-Jessica Baker

OMAHA, Neb. — For a short while, North Carolina coach Mike Fox thought about making adjustments to his batting order. Like many teams, the Tar Heels have experienced little success against Carlos Rodon, N.C. States sophomore left-handed pitcher, and so Fox considered what would give his team an advantage.
He even wondered, briefly, whether he should find a way to include more right-handed hitters in his lineup. After all, its supposedly easier for right-handed batters to hit against left-handed pitchers. But Foxs brainstorming session didnt last long.
Ive actually thought about that, Fox said on Saturday of changing his lineup against Rodon. But its really hard for me to change anything right now after 60 some-odd games. Its like, what message would that be sending? OK, were going to get to the (College) World Series, now Im going to change the lineup?
I dont think I have the nerve to do that, or the boldness.
It might not make sense, anyway. Against UNC, at least, Rodon has been equally dominant against both the Tar Heels left-handed and right-handed hitters. After limiting UNC to one hit in 10 innings last month in the ACC tournament, Rodon will start against the Tar Heels on Sunday in the College World Series.
The game has come with no shortage of anticipation. UNC is in the College World Series for the sixth time in the past eight seasons, and N.C. State for the first time since 1968. Rarely, if ever, have teams from the rival schools met in any sport in an event of this magnitude.
All the hype, though, has obscured perhaps the most basic question: Can the Tar Heels finally break free of Rodons mastery? This will be the fifth time that Rodon has pitched against UNC. In his four previous starts, he allowed three earned runs in 32 1/3 innings. He struck out 43 batters and gave up 19 hits.
Rodon has been dominant throughout his two seasons at N.C. State. He has been especially good against the Tar Heels: Current UNC players are batting .175 against him. Chaz Frank, the Tar Heels dependable leadoff hitter, is 1-for-16 against Rodon. Colin Moran, one of the best hitters in the country, is 1-for-11.
Hes definitely right at the top two or three that Ive ever faced, Moran, a left-handed batter, said on Saturday after UNCs final practice. Hes real tough. He can rear back and hit you with a mid-high 90s (fastball). But hes got a good slider. I think thats the difference-maker for him, is his hard slider.
The Tar Heels three regular right-handed hitters designated hitter Landon Lassiter, shortstop Michael Russell and catcher Matt Roberts, who suffered a broken finger earlier in the NCAA tournament and hasnt played since are batting .178 against Rodon. The Tar Heels left-handed hitters, who are the strength of their lineup, have fared better but not by much. Theyre batting .185 against Rodon.
Lassiter struck out four times and Michael, as Scotty McCreery pointed out on Twitter, didnt have a very good night, either, Fox said of UNCs showing against Rodon in the ACC tournament. So that tells you all you need to know when theres a lefty out there that can throw that breaking ball at the back foot of a right-handed hitter.
They know its coming, and they just swing over it and swing over it.
Rodon is known for his power. But his ability to change speeds and keep hitters guessing are as valuable as his fastball, if not more so.
His backdoor slider is really good and if youre looking for a fastball, hell change speeds with his changeup or his cutter and you just never know whats coming, Lassiter said. And you just cant sit on one pitch youve just got to look for a ball up and try to hit it and try not to miss it.
After struggling at times early in the season, Rodon has been at his best during his past eight starts. He threw 67 innings during that stretch, and allowed 48 hits and 14 earned runs.
The Wolfpack won seven of those eight starts, including his two starts in the NCAA tournament one of them coming last weekend against Rice in a super regional.
In other sports, coaches can game plan to limit another teams advantage. Fox doesnt have that luxury. All he can do is hope that Rodon makes mistakes, and that the Tar Heels can make him pay.
If hes on, youve got to try to swing early, Fox said. If he gets two strikes on you, youre in trouble. So at least, if hes going to strike you out, at least swing three times. Maybe foul one off so hell have to throw another pitch.
Hes throwing as confident now, I think, as he ever has."

TRAVERSE CITY — The city of St. Joseph picked Traverse City's former Manager Richard Lewis as their next city manager.
Lewis led Traverse City for 17 years before he left in 2008 to take a job with the international engineering firm CH2M Hill. Five years in the private sector, including a 14-month assignment in Afghanistan, was enough to convince Lewis he preferred working in city government.
"You take a look back after five years," Lewis said. "I decided I really liked what I did, being in public service."
Lewis said CH2M Hill was a great company with which to work and gave him opportunities he never would have had otherwise, but continuing with the firm would have required him to relocate. Lewis, who still lives in Traverse City, said he also had no interest in going back overseas.
Lewis said he didn't apply for every job, but started selectively looking at a few city manager positions.
"I just felt St. Joseph was a great place ... and I really appreciate the opportunity they are giving me," he said.
The city is located on Lake Michigan across the St. Joseph River from Benton Harbor and has a population of about 8,400 people.
The job offer is pending an official background check and a negotiated contract.

Sometimes folks overlook the second floor of the Fine Arts Building when browsing during the Missouri State Fair, but that wasnt an issue on Wednesday night as a packed house was on hand for the MO 50 reception.
For more than two decades, the Missouri Arts Council has presented the 50 best pieces of the year by Missouri artists, as selected by a juror. Over the 11 days of this years fair, Houstonia artist Linda Hoover will paint a giant mural on the side of the building to direct folks upstairs (read more about that in the Weekend Edition), but one could argue that the 50 pieces of work should be enough of a draw by themselves.
Dominic Molon, the chief curator of the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis, had to narrow it down from about 140 submissions.
Its a really great exhibit, and one of the things that signifies that is how hard it was to decide, Molon said. There were certain things I had to leave out. I was trying to have a balance between different media.
Molon had fun perusing more mainstream art, rather than the niches explored in his museums exhibits.
I think theres things I respond to in terms of showing at the museum, but this is a different situation, he said. I think of what people will respond to stuff that shows skill and technical proficiency but is a bit more accessible.
We have landscapes, abstractions, crazy sculptures, photos of billboards on the interstate. Im usually focused on a narrow cross-section of contemporary art, and this is interesting to see whats striking a nerve with people in the rest of the country. Because a lot of what we exhibit (at the museum) is from the bigger cities.
Sedalia-area artists are well represented in the MO 50. By unofficial count, eight area artists made the cut: Hoover, Marlis Wise, Marcia Azan, Kathy Menefee, Rebecca Limback, Faith Bemiss, Janice Hargrave and Dustin Mothersbaugh.
Madge Gressley, a member of the Sedalia Visual Art Association and the assistant superintendent of the Fine Arts Building, said, The SVAA is very well represented and were thrilled about that.
Sedalians might submit more work due to the proximity of the fairgrounds, but Molon who visited the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art during his stay believes the city has a legitimate arts scene, and having so many pieces in the MO 50 isnt a fluke.
I think having the (Daum) Museum here and being able to see what other artists have done, you have that shared language, he said.
Fine Arts Building Superintendent Ashley Shane said the whole state showed its artistic prowess: We had a lot (make the cut) from northeast Missouri, Springfield, Kansas City, St. Louis. Two teachers came in from near Hannibal both were selected for the 50 and they brought in pieces by five of their students, and three of those were award winners for the Junior 50. So that was an exciting phone call to make. It takes those educators to keep this going.
After choosing the 50 pieces, Molon also awarded four $800 cash prizes (Brooke Cameron, Joshua Martin, Norleen Nosri and Matt Rahner) and four honorable mentions (Ashlee Embry, Lloyd Grotjan, Dennis Murphy and Peggy Wyman).
Ted Denton, of Marshall, won the third annual State Fair Community College Purchase Award, where the school bought his piece for $500.
From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily throughout the fair, the Fine Arts Building will display the MO 50 on the top floor and the Junior 50 on the main floor.
The top floor will also include an SVAA display and the main floor will feature several pieces that didnt make the MO 50.
The SVAA will provide the artists in residence for the first six days of the fair, starting today. The Warrensburg-based Mid-Missouri Artists will take over for the final five days.
WHAT: MO 50 art exhibit
WHEN: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, Thursday through Aug. 19
WHERE: Fine Arts Building second floor, Missouri State Fair
ADMISSION: Free with gate admission

Like it or not, the holiday shopping season is almost upon us, and I doubt that anyone hates malls more than I do.
Fortunately, the BuyCincy Holiday Event (previously "Cincinnati Unchained") promotes the benefits of shopping locally while bringing holiday traffic to locally-owned, independent businesses in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Rock Paper Scissors is an art supply and local-music record store coming to Over-The-Rhine in September.
Local artists Adam Petersen and Lindsay Nehls from The Marburg Collective have teamed up with Alisha Budkie of Smartfish Studio & Sustainable Supply to create a shop in the heart of the community (1301 Main Street) that will offer a selection of art supplies, designed to suit the needs of art students, local small businesses, and working and commercial artists. They will also devote a large section of the store to locally-made materials and tools, including handmade charcoals, inks, books, and bags.
Did you know that one of the country's leading experts in social media marketing is located right here in Cincinnati? Her name is Krista Neher and after a successful career at P&G, she moved to a start-up company that raised the inevitable question: how do I do more, with less? As she mastered social media opportunities, she opened Boot Camp Digital and wrote the Social Media Field Guide. That was followed by Social Media Marketing: A Strategic Approach and now her newest book, Visual Social Media Marketing. She is in the studio with Mark Perzel to talk about successfully using social media, even as the options grow more and more numerous.
As 2012 comes to a close, it's time for a review of some of the year's top local business stories. Jamie Smith, editor of the Cincinnati Business Courier, is On the Money with Chris DeSimio to take a look back at some of the stories and people who stood out this year, and perhaps give a few hints as to what to look forward to in 2013.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are 27 landfills in Texas that are producing enough methane gas to make electricity or provide fuel to power industrial equipment. The agency says another 57 landfills are candidates for such projects.
How do you deal with the death of a loved one? A pet?
It can certainly be difficult, and the process is not easy. Unfortunately, dealing with the pain has been all too familiar around my house lately.
Eight years ago while living in Joplin, Mo., we came across a little black-coated, white-footed ball of energy at the Joplin Humane Society. We had no idea what breed he was, but we knew he was very sweet and in desperate need of a home. I was convinced we needed to adopt him, and to persuade my wife only took introducing them.
Thanks to my Facebook friend Lauri Pearson for setting me up for today's Alternate Routes. Lauri is a real listener, a true fanatic of music who does the mid-day shift at Magic 105.3 FM. Although she and I do most of our listening within different genres (there's more overlap than most might imagine), Lauri's observations about music are almost always spot on.
Democratic State Rep. Mike Villarreal filed legislation HB 238, which if passed would amend the Texas Labor Code to provide equal employment protections for gay and transgender employees.
"My question is," said Villareal: "Is this person showing up on time and doing their job? If they are, then they should be treated no differently than anybody else. Unfortunately, the LBGT community doesn't have the same protections in the state of Texas that they enjoy in other states."
Construction is a constant obstacle in an old and growing city, as city leaders identify decaying streets, sidewalks and other infrastructure in need of repair through bond projects.
One of the areas in need of attention is Blanco Road. Phase one of a project includes Hildebrand to Fresno and El Monte to Olmos Creek; work still leftover from the city's 2007 bond project.
Take a quick look at some of the top stories from across Texas, from phony Salvation Army bell ringers in Austin to a formal border crossing opening inside Big Bend National Park, and more...
From High Plains Public Radio in Amarillo and the Panhandle:
When Courtney Dillard and Matt Webber got married, they hit the road to visit cafes across America. The couple wanted to share their first meal of the day with 50 strangers, as a way to celebrate their marriage and set the standard for the type of lives they want to lead.
They call their trek, "Breakfast with Strangers"
"We were a little worried about the domestic nature of getting married and we didn't want to narrow our lives too much; we wanted to do something different," said 41-year-old Dillard, a college professor in Portland, Ore.
Despite her English name, Carla Morrison is Mexican. Her father, Hilario Viera, ran away from Durango, Mexico as a young man and ended up in San Diego. Hilario was adopted by William Morrison, who in turn gave him his new surname.
Years later, Hilario returned to Mexico and married Porfiria Flores in Tecate where Carla was born. She received a high school education in Phoenix and pursued music studies at the University of Arizona. It wasn't until she reached high school that anyone realized she could sing, as she was extremely shy as a girl.
Children who are born with chronic illnesses like heart disease go through life visiting doctors and other specialists, and for these children and their families, day to day life can be draining.Six-year-old Daniel Adair was born with congenital heart disease, a condition he will live with for the rest of his life. With the help of cardiologists and additional surgeries, Daniel will live a long fulfilling life, but this isn't the case for everyone.

Its time to start looking for the right summer camp for your child and the process can be overwhelming.
To help you get started, Cartersville Patch can help you locate a great camp or announce your own camp in the area. Browse our Events Calendar and Announcements sections for camp information. Know of a camp that needs to be listed on Patch? You can upload it here for free.
Meanwhile, the Better Business Bureau offers the following tips for parents searching for camps:
1. Always visit the camp before submitting a deposit. Check its location and view the living, eating and recreational facilities. Ask about safey procedures (particularly for water activities, archery and out-of-camp trips), and assess the quality and commitment of the staff.
2. Ask about fees and payment deadlines. Is your deposit refundable? Are there extra charges for any activities? Are meals and transportation offered?
3. What is the camper return rate? The counselor return rate?
4. What is the camp director's background? How is the staff trained? Are criminal checks made for employees and volunteers? What is the ratio of campers to staff members?
5. Are medical facilities adequate? Is a nurse or doctor on site? What are the procedures for transporting injured or sick children to medical facilities? Are those facilities nearby?
6. What are the safety rules and how are they enforced? Does the camp have appropriate insurance coverage?
7. Are family visits or other communications with campers allowed? How is homesickness handled?
8. Are references from parents of repeat campers available? Ask the parents about their child's experience and why they recommend the camp.
9. Finally, look for camps that are certified by the American Camp Association. ACA accredited camps have met up to 300 nationally recognized standards. You may visit their website at www.acacamps.org.

"Cheeky Cherokee" Costume Controversy
30-year-old SaDonna Wright says after looking at Halloween costumes depicting Indians as some kind of dress up joke, she's had enough.
"This year I saw a 'Cheeky Cherokee' costume and it was a somewhat scantily clad girl and that really offended me because the Cherokee do not dress that way."
Wright who is half-Cherokee feels the costume is demeaning to all Cherokees.
"I go into Halloween stores and see Native American costumes and it always upset me because no matter what tribe you're from, it's a race of people, and it is not a mythical creature such as a fairy."
While some feel Wright is taking the holiday costume too seriously she compares it to African Americans who once had to endure Caucasians putting on shows dressing up in black-face.
"You don't walk into a costume shop and find African-American costumes, because that's very wrong and we're past that as a society," Wright said.
The 'Cheeky Cherokee" is sold on retail outlets across the internet. On-line vendors include Amazon, Party City and Costume City. Only Costume City returned News 13's call. A representative said the company had decided to change the wording on the advertising to "Teen Native Costume," which sounds more political correct. People had mixed feeling on whether the name "Cheeky Cherokee' is inflammatory.
"I don't think it's racist at all," said one woman coming out of the Asheville Mall's Halloween tent. "If you look at the Disney movie Pocahontas her outfit is no more scantily clad that that outfit."
"I think they could call it something else," said Mellissa Dohman. "They could call is Native American garb, something else they could say that wouldn't have a tribal name. That seems pretty offensive to me."
The issue of Native American insults was back in the national spotlight when days ago President Obama suggested the Washington Redskins franchise owners should consider changing the name because of the large group of native Americans who consider the name a slur on their heritage.
"My grandfather is proud that I've spoken up," said Sadonna. "That meant a lot to me. I would like people to wake up and have respect for all races no matter if you're a part or full something. We're all people and we need to have equal respect."

Understanding Acne
- Introduction
- How do Acne Develop
- Causes
- How Do Acne Look Like
- Prevention
- Treatment
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting specially teenagers. It is commonly known as pimple. It can cause the formation of whiteheads, blackheads or inflames red lesions. It affects almost all people at some point of time in life and might become a cause of great distress and hamper ones self esteem and confidence.
Acne occurs mostly in older children, teenagers and young adults. However there is no specific age bar. Around 80% of 11 to 30 yrs old people are affected by acne. In girls it mostly occurs between the ages 14 to 17 while in boys between 16 to 19 yrs. Roughly around 5% of women and 1% of men over 25 yrs continue to experience the symptoms.
To understand acne better let us put a quick glance on the anatomy of skin: The skin consists of three layers and its complete thickness varies from 0.5mm to 2mm.
Layers of skin -
- (1) Epidermis: It is the topmost layer and consists of many sub layers in itself. The top layers are the living layers and produces cells that make the epidermis. As these cells age, they settle below to form the dead layer. This layer acts as the first line of defence against foreign body, sun and toxins.
- (2) Dermis: It is the middle layer and often called as 'true skin'. It consists of muscle cells, nerve fibres and blood vessels. It also contains sweat glands, sebaceous glands and fine blood vessels. Sebum, an oily substance, produced by the sebaceous glands lubricates and protects the skin.
- (3) Subcutaneous Layer: It is the deepest layer of skin and specializes in fat production. It also manufactures vitamin D.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 21, 2006 – Springfield College sophomore outside hitter Eric Palumbo (Rochester, N.Y.) led four players in double figures with 22 kills to go along with six digs and three service aces as the No. 6 Pride defeated Sacred Heart University, 3-2, in Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Conference-Hay Division play this evening at Blake Arena.
SC improves to 9-12 overall on the season and 7-3 in EIVA-Hay action as the Pride won the fifth and decisive game by a score of 16-14 to edge the Pioneers. The match was back and forth the entire way, with Sacred Heart capturing the opening game, 30-21, SC coming back with a win in the second game, 30-15, the Pioneers taking the third game by a 31-29 margin, and the Pride responding in the fourth to force a final game, 30-24.
Freshman outside hitter Ryan Fredrickson (Manahawkin, N.J.), sophomore outside hitter Javier Rosario (San Juan, Puerto Rico), and freshman middle blocker Andrew Sipe (New Oxford, Pa.) joined Palumbo with double digit kills to pace SC in the win. Fredrickson had 18 kills to go along with nine digs, Rosario registered 10 kills on 16 swings with just one error for a .562 hitting percentage, and Sipe added 11 kills and five blocks.
Sacred Heart (1-13, 1-8 EIVA-Hay) sophomore John Breen led the Pioneers with 14 kills, a match-best four service aces, four digs and three blocks, while freshman Barry Smith chipped in with 10 kills.
The Pride will next host Juniata College on Friday night, March 24, in a 7:00 p.m. start.

In his mind, the senior forward had made a quick baseline move, made the shot and been fouled by Dukes Rodney Hood. By making the foul shot, he would give the Orange the lead with 10.4 seconds left in regulation.
I thought I was already in motion, Fair said. I thought it was block or no call, because I dont think there was much contact, either. At first I thought (the referee) called a block and an and one.
And then, everything went a little crazy.
Referee Tony Greene had called an offensive foul on Fair, not blocking on Hood. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim charged onto the floor, screaming at Greene, picking up two technical fouls, being ejected from the game.
Or as Boeheim later put it, tongue in cheek, The old coach went out there and got a little excited.
The Blue Devils Quinn Cook soon was at the foul line, making three free throws, sealing what would be a 66-60 victory over the No. 1 Orange.
I dont know what coach said, but coach was hot, Fair said. We really wanted this game and emotion got the best of him.
Boeheim would call it a tremendous game. He noted it just as defensive as the first game between the two the 91-89 overtime win by the Orange had been offensive. He also would joke a little about his out-of-character protest at the end, saying, I wanted to see if I still had it in me.
But after winning the first 25 games of the season, the Orange were upset at home by Boston College earlier in the week. They came to Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time in program history looking for an immediate turnaround, for another ACC victory, for a sweep of the Devils in their first ACC season.
For more than 39 minutes, the Orange (25-2, 12-2 ACC) played some give-and-take with the fifth-ranked Blue Devils (22-6, 11-4). Syracuse didnt get much offense from guard Tyler Ennis or Trevor Cooney, who were a combined 3-of-18 from the field, but the Orange worked the boards, hustled on defense and kept the Blue Devils from making any big runs.
They stayed in it, just as North Carolina did against Duke on Thursday in the Tar Heels win over the Blue Devils in Chapel Hill.
We played hard for 40 minutes and played great defense, Ennis said.
But so did the Blue Devils. The Orange shot 28.6 percent from the field in the opening half, but managed to offset that with 13 offensive rebounds.
In the game at Syracuse, Fair had a career-high 28 points. He had a hard-earned 12 points on Saturday as Jerami Grant was the Oranges leading scorer with 17 points.
Their defensive pressure was there, Fair said. They fired up the crowd. When they played at Syracuse there was certainly defensive pressure but they were more at it this time.
Both Fair and Ennis said they enjoyed coming into Cameron Indoor Stadium after hearing so much about the game-time experience.
The loud, pumped up Duke students filled the stands early. One students sign, a not-so-subtle reminder for Syracuse, was Freshly squeezed Orange Juice, compliments of Boston College.
Its definitely one of the loudest gyms I've been in, Fair said. They've got a great fan base and atmosphere.
But for much of the night, the Orange weathered it all the Cameron Crazies, the noise, Dukes defense, poor shooting.
Were a good road team, Boeheim said. We're the only team that was in the Big East the whole time and had a winning record (on the road).
It was a great game. Both teams went at it as hard as they could the whole time.
It was close to the end, until a call was made and an old coach got excited.

---- — FULTON — Autumn is typically recognized by the leaves changing colors and temperatures dropping to the mid 60s, but for Fulton residents, they know autumn has arrived when the city prepares for its Fulton Fall Festival celebration.
The 13th annual Fulton Fall Festival will commence at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, in the downtown district of Fulton. The event will last until 4 p.m., but adults are encouraged to return to enjoy time with friends at the beer gardens featured at Denny O's and Johnnie's Tap, two Fulton city staples.
During the day it is all about family, though, and the Fulton Chamber of Commerce has made the entertainment opportunities nearly endless.
"Fulton's Fall Festival is organized by a four person committee in the Chamber to help boost our local economy," Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Heather Bennett said. "It's really just ambition by the Chamber board to have more happening in our downtown."
That ambition is what has grown the Fall Festival from a small gathering of pumpkin painting, to a day-long celebration of the city of Fulton.
People attending the festival will get to experience a multitude of arts and crafts shows, a petting zoo, scavenger hunt, a number of local bake sales and of course the tradition of pumpkin painting.
"The very first year we just handed out painted pumpkins, and 13 years later it has grown into this," Bennett said. "It's still not as big as Dutch Days, but it continues to grow."
The real beauty of the event though, according to Bennett, is that aside from the food, nearly everything is free. Only the kiddie train rides and the Straw Bale Maze cost anything, together maxing out at a total of $3.
But, not everything is aimed to please the children of the community. There are many scheduled events that will get people of all ages excited to attend.
A classic car cruise-in will take place from noon to 4 p.m., Olie Bollen, a traditional Dutch doughnut, will be served up fresh all day by the Rosebud Mission team at the Fulton Community Center and two live bands, Three on The Tree and Dirt Road Rockers, will perform in the evening.
Whether it's the family friendly environment, the variety of food available or even the period renactments at Heritage Canyon, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Fulton Fall Festival.
"It's to promote the business community and quality of life in Fulton," Bennett said. "But, really, it's an opportunity to get together with friends and family in the community and have a good time."

How to Make the Most Out of Your Villa and Save Money
Try to Negotiate
In a departure from most hotel practices, the prices on villas are often negotiable in low or shoulder season—especially when you use a rental agent who, like Chew, works directly with owners rather than with property-management companies.
Consider What the Rate Includes
Unlike many other rentals, both of mine included part-time staff who came every morning to make breakfast and tidy up the house; we paid them an extra $30 a day to do our laundry and cook additional meals. Villa Bayside had kayaks and snorkel gear that we were free to use whenever we liked (a hotel would've charged for both), as well as a boat transfer to and from Paraty.
Prioritize Your Wish List
I divided ours into two categories: must-haves (comfortable house with character, great location, $5,000 for the week) and would-be-nice-to-haves (pool, Wi-Fi, a chef, laundry service). Not only did the two- tier list help Chew pinpoint the right places, but it forced us all to agree up front on what we could live without, preempting disappointment later on.
Confirm That There is a Local Contact
There should be someone nearby whom you can reach around the clock. Such local hosts sometimes provide more one-on-one attention than you would get at a hotel. Chew's ground operator in Paraty, Michael Smyth of Paraty explorer, served as our guide and 24-hour concierge. He phoned or stopped by daily to see what we needed and to offer suggestions on ways to spend the day. our first afternoon in town, he took us on a walking tour, gave us a history lesson, and pointed out the best places to eat—an invaluable introduction that we didn't pay a nickel for. He also arranged a daylong boat excursion that turned out to be our favorite outing of the trip.
Inquire About Other Perks
When we decided to start our trip with four nights in Rio de Janeiro, Chew booked us in seaview rooms at the Hotel Marina Palace for $60 a night less than we would have paid if we booked online. He also sent us detailed notes for Rio and Paraty that included personalized restaurant and beach recommendations.

If you didn't get one of the 3,600 Santa Train tickets that sold out in less than five minutes last week, all hope is not lost.
The Virginia Railway Express is selling 300 overstock tickets for Saturday's Santa Train which features train rides departing from Burke, Woodbridge, Leeland Road and Manassas, VRE officials said Monday morning.
The $6 tickets go on sale Tuesday at 9 a.m. Order tickets by emailing a ticket request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ticket request received before 9 a.m. won't be considered, VRE officials said.
No more than six tickets can be purchased for the following train rides:
- Cupid Express departing Burke at 10:30 a.m.
- Dancer Express departing Manassas at 9 a.m.
- Prancer Express departing Woodbridge at 10:30 a.m.
- Dasher Express department Leeland Road at 8:30 a.m.
- Vixen Express departing Leeland Road at 10 a.m.
- Blitzen Express department Leeland road at 2 p.m.
Some 3,600 Santa Train tickets were available online, and 3,600 were available through in-person vendor sales this year, VRE spokesperson Mark Roeber said.
Tickets sold out online in four minutes; all vendor tickets were gone by 12:30 p.m. Monday, he said.
The 300 tickets for sale on Tuesday are those withheld by VRE, just in case PayPal mistakenly oversold online tickets, as it has in the past, Roeber said.
It didn't happen this year, so they are releasing the tickets, he added.
In addition to the six aforementioned trains, overstock tickets will be sold for the following:
- Elf Express departing Burke at noon
- North Pole Express departing Manassas at 1:30 p.m.
- Rudolph Express departing Leeland Road 3:30 p.m.

August 1, 2014
ATLANTA (AP) — Supporters of a Georgia death row inmate who is set to be executed for the killing of an off-duty Savannah police officer plan to gather in downtown Atlanta for a march.
Amnesty International and the NAACP are organizing the rally for Troy Davis on Friday from Woodruff Park to Ebenezer Baptist Church. Davis is set to be put to death on Wednesday for the 1989 killing of Officer Mark MacPhail.
The groups claim Georgia is set to put an innocent man to death, citing eyewitnesses who claim another man killed MacPhail. Prosecutors say there's no doubt they charged the right person with the crime, and courts have repeatedly upheld his conviction.
The Rev. Al Sharpton and others are set to speak at the event.

Anatomy of an SQL Index
"An index makes the query fast" is the most basic explanation of an index I have ever seen. Although it describes the most important aspect of an index very well, it is—unfortunately—not sufficient for this book. This chapter describes the index structure in a less superficial way but doesn't dive too deeply into details. It provides just enough insight for one to understand the SQL performance aspects discussed throughout the book.
An index is a distinct structure in the database that is built using the create index statement. It requires its own disk space and holds a copy of the indexed table data. That means that an index is pure redundancy. Creating an index does not change the table data; it just creates a new data structure that refers to the table. A database index is, after all, very much like the index at the end of a book: it occupies its own space, it is highly redundant, and it refers to the actual information stored in a different place.
Searching in a database index is like searching in a printed telephone directory. The key concept is that all entries are arranged in a well-defined order. Finding data in an ordered data set is fast and easy because the sort order determines each entries position.
"This book is definitively worth having in the company library.
" — Joe Celko
" — Joe Celko
A database index is, however, more complex than a printed directory because it undergoes constant change. Updating a printed directory for every change is impossible for the simple reason that there is no space between existing entries to add new ones. A printed directory bypasses this problem by only handling the accumulated updates with the next printing. An SQL database cannot wait that long. It must process insert, delete and update statements immediately, keeping the index order without moving large amounts of data.
The database combines two data structures to meet the challenge: a doubly linked list and a search tree. These two structures explain most of the database's performance characteristics.

Big M Automotive: Classic Cars Under the Moonlight
Photography by Mike Hows, Troy Paiva, and Joe Reifer
Lucky Juju Pinball Art Gallery
September 4 – September 30, 2009
Opening Friday September 4th from 7-10 p.m.
Big M Automotive is a classic car dismantling yard in Williams, CA that specializes in 1950′s Mercurys. The yard is also packed with big finned Chryslers, DeSotos, Dodges and rare late '50s GM cars.
In 2008, night photographer Mike Hows approached the owner of Big M about shooting this amazing collection of Detroit Iron. Hows has been photographing Big M for over a year, and invited photographers Troy Paiva and Joe Reifer to join him on subsequent trips.
Hows, Paiva, and Reifer are specialists in photographing at night. Shooting within a few days of the full moon, the exposure times for their images typically range between 3-10 minutes. The images are often augmented through surreal light painting techniques, where a hand-held flash or flashlight is used to add light to the scene during the exposure.
Hows and Paiva utilize colored gel material over their lights to create bold, otherworldly colors in their images. Reifer takes a more documentary approach, favoring a warm natural glow. Each artist brings his own unique style and lighting techniques to the images of these amazing cars.
About the Photographers
A Bay Area native, photographer Mike Hows focuses on capturing the past in a new light. See more of Mike's work: www.takenpictures.com
Night Photographer and light painter Troy Paiva has been shooting abandonments and junkyards since 1989. His site, www.lostamerica.com and his books Lost America and Night Vision have struck a chord in post-industrial cultures world-wide.
Joe Reifer photographs abandoned places at night, and suburban neighborhoods by day. Witness his adventures online: www.joereifer.com

Eight months later, there's still no justice for Desmond Jackson's family.
Jackson was gunned down in Seattle's SODO neighborhood on February 12, 2012. A group of people drove up on him and his friends near South Walker Street and Occidental Avenue and opened fire.
Jackson was shot dead; one of his friends was wounded in the shooting. Still, no one has come forward to talk about the case.
His great-aunt, Gazelle Williams, is hoping technology, like the Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS) tests, could help find the killer.
"They could have the weapon that killed Desmond," Williams said. "Those guns could be right there in their lockup, and they know who had those guns so we could get them off the street and we could get justice."
Jackson's case has since been featured by the Seattle Police's "Who Killed Me?" campaign. Pictures of him are on billboards and bus ads, asking anyone with information to call Crimestoppers at (206)-233-5000 or leave an anonymous tip at www.crimestoppers.com.
