Though voting comes the day after a holiday weekend, candidates said they hope that Memorial Day reminded citizens to go vote.
Candidates for State Representative, District 14:
Hal Hawkins, a local realtor, founder of BrazosDebtClock.org and communications director for the Brazos County GOP, has been endorsed by Young Conservatives of Texas and the Bryan/College Station Tea Party. Hawkins has a Master's of Business Administration from UT Arlington and Bachelor's of Business Administration from LeTourneau University.
In regards to higher education, Hawkins is supportive of concealed carry on university campuses, ending in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and legislative control of tuition rates.
"On the issue of "re-regulating" tuition rates, we currently have no control over who sets the rates. The Board of Regents is an unelected and unaccountable board answerable only to Gov. Perry," Hawkins said. "Often these appointments are based off political connections rather than merit or dedication. Public universities are a public service for which we pay, so right now it is essentially taxation without representation. If we move tuition rates back in the hands of the legislature, the people and local communities will have more say over tuition rates because there will be accountability through elections."
John Raney, graduate of Stephen F. Austin high school in 1965 and Texas A&M in 1969 with a degree in Business Administration in Marketing, has operated Texas Aggieland Bookstore since 1969. Raney has served the community in various ways including through the Chamber of Commerce, First United Methodist Church of Bryan, Republican Party of Brazos County, National Federation of Independent Businesses' Texas Leadership Council and the Texas Retailers Assoxiation. Raney has been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business and the Texas Retailers Association.
Raney believes in investing in higher education. With one of the state's premier universities in our back yard, John Raney said he will aggressively seek funding for research dollars at Texas A&M and better funding for high-need fields while working to create greater partnerships with A&M and the A&M System to bring jobs in fields like biotechnology and engineering to the Brazos Valley.
Judy LeUnes, Texas A&M University class of 1976, was president of the student education association during her senior year. She has taught in public schools for 30 years, and served many terms as President of the College Station Education Association, giving me my experiences lobbying for public education with the Legislature, LeUnes said. She now owns an education consulting and team building business. She has been active in the community with the College Station Parks Board, Lincoln Center Board, Rape Crisis Center Board and Brazos Animal Shelter Board.
In regards to higher education, LeUnes said she wants higher education opportunities available for every student in Texas.
"It is the responsibility of the State Legislature to adequately fund education and it is failing this job," LeUnes said.
As far as representing the students at Texas A&M, I currently attend many student organizational meetings on campus including the Student Senate so I have contacts and a background of what is important to the student body, LeUnes said. She also is involved with students in chairing the annual Wiener Fest fundraiser for animal shelter each fall.
Candidates for State Representative, District 12:
Tucker Anderson, resident of Calvert, Tucker Anderson is a 6th generation Texan, graduate of Texas A&M, and graduate of St. Mary's School of Law. He is a supporter of tort reform,, committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, and a pro-life conservative. He served as Legislative Director and Counsel for Texas Congressman Pete Sessions where he advised the congressman on legislation and issues related to agriculture, veterans' affairs, immigration, transportation, energy policy, homeland security and legislative procedure. In addition, Anderson has assisted both State Senator Steve Ogden and Texas Congressman Bill Flores in their campaigns for office, and also served as Robertson County Chairman for Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples. Anderson is a member of the NRA, Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association, and the Texas Farm Bureau.

Instead of experienced guard play and depth in the post, the Scarlet Knights showed nothing but regression in a shocking 56-52 loss to St. Peter's. Instead of looking like a bubble team, Rutgers left the RAC losers against a team picked to finish last in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
"This was a shocker and something that I'm going to learn from," Rice said. "I'm going to make sure our guys learn what they didn't do. They didn't respond."
Sophomore guard Elijah Carter, last year's leading scorer, summed up the fiasco best in the final minute. After the Peacocks took a two-point lead with 1:09 on the clock, Carter jacked up a long-range shot with 25 seconds on the shot clock.
He missed the rim by close to a foot.
A one-score game for the majority, St. Peter's rode the free throw line to victory after Carter's quick shot.
Every alleged strength Rutgers touted going into 2012 looked like a glaring weakness on the floor.
The sophomore guard trio looked more like freshmen than ever in the loss. Carter, Jerome Seagears and team captain Myles Mack were a combined 5-of-23 from the floor, committed nine turnovers and were good for just 15 points.
Carter shot for 17 percent and sat for 15 minutes of the first half with foul trouble.
"They didn't play very well," Rice said. "… They're good kids. They just now have to become a little bit tougher and a little bit more disciplined."
McDonald's All-American and Kansas State transfer Wally Judge showed something – recording a double-double in his debut – but followed it up by fouling out.
"We thought it was going to be easy and obviously it wasn't," Judge said. "… I've never lost the first game of the season before."
Senior Austin Johnson, who came off the bench, kept Rutgers alive with 10 second-half points, but headed to the locker room with the familiar sting of a bad loss.
"It's a really upsetting loss, but the good thing about it is we have a ton of games left," Johnson said.
Rutgers (0-1) never truly found its rhythm on the court, partly because of some erratic substitutions in the first half. Rice put 11 different players on the court in the first half – every healthy scholarship player on the roster.
"[I was] trying to find somebody who had any toughness to be honest with you," Rice said. "We were just, again, trying to run away from people. Whether we were posting at 15 feet or they were bumping us off a screen, there was just a … mentally and physically they dominated our players."

She was the assistant director of a synagogue children's choir by age 14 and has directed and sung with many community choirs and pickup groups since then. But it wasn't until 1996 that she discovered the autoharp and began teaching and performing in earnest. Now one of the best recognized autoharp workshop leaders in the US, she has taught and performed at festivals and private concerts from Pennsylvania to California, as well as Tasmania, Australia, England, aboard cruise ships, and an upcoming visit to Sweden. She also shares her knowledge of old-time West Virginia fiddle techniques and repertoire, and is known locally as a sympathetic and effective voice teacher for those who think they cannot sing. In addition to her teaching activities, Cindy founded and directs the Pittsburgh Threshold Choir, a group of women who sing at the bedsides of people who are very ill or dying.
Lessons with Cindy are self-directed with coaching intended to help the student accomplish his or her personal objectives. She will ask you to provide examples of music that you love so much that you'd be willing to work hard to learn to play it, and you will find yourself working on that music right from the start. Technique is taught in the context of the music: if you need a technique for a particular song, you will learn that technique. And of course once you've mastered a technique it's yours to use on the next song or tune and the next. It's a constant process of enjoying the music and discovering and mastering the technique needed to recreate it in your own playing or singing.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons start with a review of the work you've been doing. We might take that song or tune to the next level with a new technique, or we might apply technique you've already learned to a new piece. Every lesson is different, customized to the needs of the student at that moment.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Instruments, audio and video recording equipment
*** Travel Equipment ***
Instruments, audio and video recording equipment as needed
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

I've loved reading since I learned how at the age of three. Yes, I was three; I suppose it helped having older brothers in school by that point, and wanting to do "homework" because they were. You know what kids are like for wanting to do what the "big kids" are doing. ;)
Anyway, I rarely find a book I don't enjoy. I read Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton, Beatrix Potter, Hans Christian Anderson, and many others in my childhood, and still enjoy them today. But my absolute favourite book has always been "A Little Princess" - it's still my favourite today!

I am a self-described book addict. My mother started me on this path, and because of this I could list pages upon pages of books I've enjoyed, but I won't. I will list some series: The Little House on the Prairie, and Anne of Green Gables, I enjoy reading these to my children,too. My girls (5 and 8) like the American Girl books.

I had a book of fairy tales that I loved. It was my aunt's and had beautiful illustrations. They were unusual fairy tales and unfortunately when my husband and I got married, a lot of my stuff was sent to auction and this book must have been in the stuff that got sold.

I loved Anne of Green Gables, The Bobbsy Twins and The Hardy Boys, but probably most of all Nancy Drew. Also Babar the Elephant. Can't leave out Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Miss your blog when you don't have time to write, but understand how busy you must be.

SOURCE Consumer Healthcare Products Association
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) today released the following statement regarding a new economic impact analysis conducted by Dr. Martin Kennedy, a former professor of economics who spent seven years on the faculty of Middle Tennessee State University. He now works as a data scientist for an online education company.
Dr. Kennedy's study, which was supported by a grant from CHPA, analyzed the potential economic consequences for Tennessee if the General Assembly adopts a prescription requirement for cold and allergy products containing pseudoephedrine.
Some of the study's most compelling findings include the following impacts of a prescription requirement:
"I approached this study with a very open mind. As a Tennessee citizen and a father of five, I believe very strongly that something more must be done to tackle the scourge of meth production in our state," Dr. Kennedy said. "As an economist, however, there's no question that when conducting a detailed analysis of a prescription requirement, the new costs associated with such a policy change are striking and considerable. I hope that these empirical findings will provide policymakers with a fuller understanding of the potential impacts of the prescription-only approach."
"Members of the Tennessee General Assembly are to be commended for looking for new policy solutions to the state's ongoing methamphetamine problem," said CHPA President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Melville. "But as Dr. Kennedy's new analysis makes clear, a prescription requirement for safe and effective cold and allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine would have significant-and in our view-unnecessary economic consequences for consumers, healthcare providers, businesses, and the state as a whole. Rather than pursuing such a costly and burdensome approach, policymakers and opinion leaders should advocate for more balanced solutions, including reasonable pseudoephedrine purchasing limits and stiffer criminal penalties for meth offenders. Tennessee families should not be punished for the actions of a criminal minority."
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) is the 133-year-old trade association representing the leading manufacturers and marketers of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and dietary supplements. Every dollar spent by consumers on OTC medicines saves the U.S. healthcare system $6-$7, contributing a total of $102 billion in savings each year. CHPA is committed to promoting the increasingly vital role of over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements in America's healthcare system through science, education, and advocacy.

A message from the festival organiser
Gunnar Strømsholm
2013 marked the tenth year of The Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival - described by The Sunday Times Online as 'the most unique and intimate classical music Summer festival in Europe' - and the only exciting classical music festival on Crete offering a dynamic programme to complement the fascinating cultural heritage of this magnificent island.
Our 10th anniversary festival lasted for seven days and featured 12 concerts. Apart from the free opening concert next to Makrigialos Harbour, all of the other festival events took place at the Villa Casa dei Mezzo in Makrigialos.
Over the years our festival has been very proud to welcome many really outstanding artists, and these are often artists with significant international careers. Our artists stay in Makrigialos throughout the festival and this helps to create that very special and unique atmosphere so much enjoyed by artists and audiences alike.
Please follow us on our facebook page. This has all the latest news for the forthcoming festival as well as lots of great photographs and comments from last year.
I look forward to welcoming you to our 2014 festival.

I have what I think is a good idea. Considering that most or all of the members of this community are aspiring game developers I think it would be a great idea to have a showcase of games made by members of the community. Sure you have the code spotlight and snapshot, but those are weak compared to gamedev.net's game showcase.
I believe that it is imperative to establish a game showcase here at devmaster.net that could possibly increase traffic. You guys are probably not in competition with gamedev.net but I believe that it's about time that another site besides gamedev.net becomes just as large.
Well anyways, not to sway away from the main point. I'd imagine that games created with 3D engines(made by other people/companies) wouldn't get as much praise as games made from ground-up by others. So maybe a set of guidelines should be established.
If this idea gets rejected(for whatever weird reason) then maybe we could hold some contest?

Holland led a string of four U.S. athletes into the top 15. Holland, who went into the final rounds seeded fifth, pulled out his fourth career World Cup win along with taking the overall points leader yellow bib for the first time.
Holland, having won the first World Cup of the season, will head into Tuesday's race wearing yellow as the overall World Cup points leader.
"This is the first time I've ever had the yellow bib – I'm the points leader," said a tired Holland after clinching the victory under the lights. "Tonight I finally got the yellow bib and hopefully I can hold onto it longer than one night because we are racing tomorrow."
After posting a successful protest in the quarterfinals, Holland put the pedal to the metal topping both the semi final and final rounds. Holland beat out a tough field in the finals edging out Canada's Tom Velisek for the win.
"In the final heat I was in third place in turn one. Everything just started clicking and I started making passes," said Holland of his winning run. "Half way down I passed into first and at that point I knew those guys were behind me and I just pinned it to the finish line."
With conditions superb, Holland took full advantage of the course filled with long straight sections and good turns building confidence for the remainder of the season.
"I've always been a confident rider and traditionally within my riding I usually start getting my results mid season – towards the end of the season," explained Holland. "This last year and this year I've been able to start pulling some results earlier in the season and I'm happy with that. I have to contribute a lot of that to my fall training."
Shaun Palmer (South Lake Tahoe, CA) advanced to the semifinals but did not qualify for the final round, finishing sixth, while Jayson Hale (Sierraville, CA) was 11th and Jonathon Cheever (Saugus, MA) 14th, not moving past the quarterfinals round.
In the women's race, Canada went one-two while U.S. Snowboarding's Callan Chythlook-Sifsof (Girdwood, AK) finished 12th. Six USA riders competed in Lech, with the remainder of the team training at a special early season camp in Telluride. The men and women will be on course again Tuesday for another race in Lech.

You can't go too far wrong with Dave Hunter. Page after page after page of classic, amazing, ached-for guitars and amps. Some of the instruments are familiar choices ('59 Pauls, Strats, Martins), some of the info is not spot-on accurate (the Dyer "Style 8" harp guitar is actually a Style 7 - and the sub-bass strings ARE plucked), but others are just OUT THERE (see the Teufel Birdfish!). All-in-all this is a delightful addition to the libraries of collectors, dealers and dreamers!
