RALEIGH, N.C. -- As the number of "Moral Monday" protestors arrested inside the legislative building in Raleigh grows to almost 500, so does the debate over whether the protestors represent North Carolina. To find out, a UNC researcher and a conservative think tank have each conducted their own demographic surveys of protestors.
UNC researcher Fred Stutzman sent six examiners into the crowd at this Monday's demonstration and asked 316 protestors a series of questions about their home zip code, age, gender and whether they had attended a "Moral Monday" protest before. Stutzman says his research found that 311 of the 315 surveyed were from North Carolina.
Earlier this month, Governor Pat McCrory told a Republican crowd that the protestors were "outsiders" and compared them to protestors in Wisconsin who tried to oust Governor Scott Walker.
But Stutzman concluded the protestors were overwhelmingly homegrown.
At the same time, a conservative Raleigh think tank, the Civitas Institute, researched arrest records for 383 protestors arrested between April 29 and June 10. The group concluded the protestors who were arrested were older and whiter than the census portrait of North Carolina and much more likely to come from the Triangle – Orange, Durham and Wake counties.

Hmmm i think it's sad they ask money for that,Elvis never asked any money for his autograph
How do you all think about paying money for an autograph of the TCB band or other people who knew Elvis.
Last year I was at a convention, and if you wanted an autograph of James Burton, Jerry Scheff, Ronnie Tutt or Glenn D. Hardin you had to pay 5 Euro and only on a TCB poster you also had to buy there.
Come on, these people are loaded with money, do they really need to rip off the 'loyal' Elvis fans.
I wonder what Elvis would have thought of all this
"Here's to our wives and girlfriends...may they never meet!".
Groucho Marx
Hmmm i think it's sad they ask money for that,Elvis never asked any money for his autograph
Last year I saw The TCB Band and the Sweets with 'Elvis 2007', there
was an autograph session after the show and I got all their autographs
for free on the backside of my ticket bill. You could buy pics and posters
too, but you didn't have to. I agree it would be sad and not ok if they
started asking for money for their autographs....
I feel very strongly about this. No money for autographs. Period.
When did Elvis ever charge? Okay, I'm done before I say something that
will get me banned.
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
I have nearly all of the TCB band's autographs..I would get them every summer in Vegas. I also have Vernon Presley's autograph along with Jerry Schilling, Joe Esposito and Charlie Hodge. In March of 74 Gail and I hung out all morning and early afternoon in the lobby of the Astroworld Hotel and got more autographs that day. They were flattered back in the day to be handing out autographs..what a shame that they now think it's OK to make money from their connection to Elvis. I guess they are still TCB'ing.
When it comes to paying for Elvis' autographs its so hard to tell whether its really authenic or not. Especially when dealing with people on ebay you have to watch out for crooks!
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I got Joe E.'s autograph for free when he came to my home town. He was selling his books but he was signing pictures and other books that wasn't his.
I got all the TCB Band autographs, including the Sweets and Imperials, when they last came to Sydney in 2006.
I walked right up to them at their hotel the next day and asked.
I would imagine the charging for autographs was not their idea, and more to do with the organisers of the event.
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
i have many autographs in my collection and i understand why it bothers you that many charge for there signatures now. But it costs money to print the 8 by ten photos. why should they have to eat that exspence. so i can see why they would have to charge. But i have run into some who tried to charge me for there autograph when i asked them for there signature on something i already had.
Joe K
Hmmmm. I believe that Elvis wouldn't have approved of the ripping off the fans. And by that I don't mean only the expensive autographs but all the products that uses Elvis' name. And they are a lot.
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
I still say no, okay, photos, yes someone has to absorb the price - the people who put the event on, perhaps? What if you go up to someone with an album/cd/book you've already paid for? Elvis signed more autographs in his short lifetime than did anyone else, I'd dare to say. Never once did he ask for a dime. And these millions of autographed papers/menus/playbills/album covers, etc are worth a lot of money. They aren't rare! Some member on this board probably have more than one!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
some of the menus and other items are rare. you just need to know which one.
joe k
well what are we talking about . rare or valuble? sometimes they are the same
like the above menu from the International hotel.
the value is from Jerry Osbornes 2006 values book.
the value $1,200
the value depends on condition.
there are more.
joe k
Can't say I was ever an autograph seeker . IMO, IF you want a picture, a menue or whatever; you pay for it. IF it's just an autograph, there should be no charge . Friends of mine in the UK are given all the autographs and take pictures with all the TCB Band and are never charged. So, I guess I don't get it.
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
I agree they should not charge. But if its a photo . you can not expect them to give it free.
joe k
I have never and will never ask anyone for their signature, free or otherwise.

ARB Drug Fights Diabetic Eye DiseasePosted: Wednesday, October 01, 2008
New studies provide further evidence that candesartan, a blood pressure medicine, can cut the risk and severity of retinopathy in people who have diabetes, by as much as 18%, as well as blood pressure.
Specifically, the results suggest a potential role of candesartan to reduce the incidence of retinopathy in type 1 diabetics who have not yet developed it and to improve the condition in type 2 diabetics who already have
"We suggest that clinicians may wish to consider using candesartan [brand name Atacand] in people with type 1 diabetes with hard-to-control blood glucose, who do not currently have retinopathy," said one study's British co-author, Dr. Nish Chaturvedi, of the National Heart and Lung Institute and Imperial College at St Mary's, London. "In type 2 diabetes, in people with established retinopathy who become hypertensive, again the clinician may wish to consider candesartan from the many blood pressure-lowering agents available, as it appears to have this additional beneficial effect on regression of retinopathy."
About 95 percent of diabetics suffer from type 2 diabetes, where cells gradually lose sensitivity to insulin. The illness is often linked to obesity. Around 5 percent of diabetics have the type 1 form, an inherited condition in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar.
Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding illness linked to changes in retinal blood vessels. It is one of the major complications of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Intense control of blood sugar levels is the only proven way to reduce incidence and progression of retinopathy, but this kind of control can be elusive. And even when patients do achieve strict control of blood sugars, retinopathy is not always kept at bay.
Previous studies have indicated that drugs known as renin-angiotensin system blockers, which include candesartan, might prevent or reduce the severity of diabetic retinopathy.
This most current research consists of two trials, with three arms total.
In the DIRECT-Prevent 1 study, more than 1,400 type 1 diabetics with existing retinopathy were randomized to receive either Atacand or a placebo; in the DIRECT-Protect 1 trial, more than 1,900 type-1 diabetics with existing retinopathy were randomized to receive either the drug or a placebo.
Individuals receiving Atacand had an 18 percent lower incidence of retinopathy, considered "borderline" statistically significant, the researchers report.
Further analysis of the DIRECT-Protect 1 trial found that progression of retinopathy was 35 percent lower for patients taking Atacand.
Reanalyzing the data in this way somewhat weakens the findings, noted one expert, Dr. Mina Chung, a retinal specialist at the University of Rochester's Eye Institute. Nevertheless, she added, "this study gives you some evidence that it looks like [Atacand] would be helpful."
The DIRECT-Protect 2 study randomized more than 1,900 type 2 diabetes patients with mild to moderately severe retinopathy to either Atacand or a placebo.
Again, the difference in progression between the groups was statistically nonsignificant. Improvement increased by 34 percent in the Atacand group versus the placebo group.
"Studies have shown that intensive control of blood-sugar levels helps prevent diabetic retinopathy, and now this is another component of the blood pressure effect, but it may also be additional benefits other than just controlling blood pressure," said Dr. Richard W. Allinson, assistant professor of surgery with the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine and an ophthalmologist at the Scott & White Waco Clinic.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 12 months - interviewed at Marsh.

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Marsh in July 2011.
Interview Details Internal application. Recommended by my line manager.
Two part interview - panel at first and then a one to one. Skill tests carried out in the panel interview.
Technical Questions relating to unique covers available to clients - comment was made before questions where put to me that the correct answer was not necessarily what was being sought as the covers being queried where specialised - interiewers wanted to see how I would approach a query.
I made it through the panel interview and was selected for 2nd round with one to one interview with section head. I felt this aspect of the interview process was repetitive. With a lot of the information previously advised during the general application and the panel interview being rehashed.
In the one to one interview a query was raised as to why I wanted to leave the section I was in? Did I have issues with my colleagues in this section (naming some) - I felt that this question was unfair as my line manager had recommended me for consideration and an outsider of the firm would not have been in such a position.
I found the internal interview process to be more difficult then a general interview - as I had to remind myself that I had to display my skills as if the interviewing team did not have experience of working with me.

This is the perfect tool for the job. My newest Les Paul came with old school push in bushing tuners.I'm an electronics guy, and messing around with Gibson headstocks makes me nervous. But this tool made it simple and easy. I took my time with a hand drill and everything came out great. And I have it for the future too, for about the same price I would have paid someone to do it. If you feel comfortable with a drill, get this, take your time and be careful.
When I got my latest Les Paul I was surprised that it had the old style push in bushing tuners and needed to be reamed. I'm a good electronics guy, not so much on woodwork, but this reamer made the job extremely easy. I just took it slow and it worked out perfectly! And it's about the same as it would have cost to take it in and have someone else do it, plus now I have the tool to do it in the future as well! I highly recommend this to anyone.
Very nice tool, works just as expected to fit Grover tuners perfectly using my drill press.
You have to be careful with the cutting edge which is more of a scraper than a drill, but this is a brilliant device that I will be using from now on.
I understand the benefits of stepped pegholes for modern style tuners (tuner stability and more accurate tuning) and had been drilling stepped pegholes with standard twist bits. This can be a little tricky and time consuming.
To use the rear peghole reamer I drilled the pilot hole with a 5/16" brad point bit to make a clean accurate pilot hole and followed up with the peghole reamer running at 760 rpm (the lowest speed available) in my drill press. The results were six clean, accurate stepped pegholes in a maple peghead in less than five minutes.
This is a great tool at the right price that works as described giving very good results in a very short time. Thanks StewMac!
Used this on my Gibson R7 Les Paul Goldtop to install some Grover Rotomatic Tuners. Took a huge leap of faith reaming it, but it is perfect. Just take your time, be sure to be extremely careful, and everything will work out fine.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT DRILL YOUR GUITAR! Buy this reamer, and do it right. I have seen horror stories (chipped, cracked, and split necks) from people who have drilled their pegholes instead of reaming them. This is the only way to go... Just make sure you take your time. Use a level and make sure that the weight of the guitar is even.
When you're finished you will be glad you took my advice. By the way, it's great to know that if I ever put the stock Gibson Deluxe tuners back on that it would be covered up and look stock/original. Also, it got here the next day, the shipping is amazing!
This tool should last a long time if used and cared for properly. Just as sharp as new after doing 4 necks of VERY hard maple
I've recently made some tuner upgrades to some guitars and had to enlarge pegholes on some necks that had been manufactured with peghholes that would not accept modern larger diameter tuners. This tool worked well for me. One observation was that took a lot longer to ream through maple headstocks than mahogany. Use a good variable speed drill and don't force it and you should be fine.
I was so glad that such a tool exsisted as it looked so easy to use for a not so hard job.. Once i got it i put it to work. it was a dream om first 2 holes then after that it was a nightmare.. The les Paul then had to endure a one hour session of being forced drilling.. Overall i loved it but goin blunt so soon is not a good thing....
When I needed to replace the tuning machines on a guitar I've enjoyed for about 35 years, I chose a set of Grovers. (Wouldn't you have?)
When I received them I realized that my guitar would need to have the rear of the peg-holes reamed due to the design of the Grovers. How to do it withour wrecking the guitar itself?
I searched the internet, and only found the Rear Peg-hole Reamer at Stewart MacDonald (a big retailer told me to bring it in, it couldn't be done at home.) The Reamer was inexpensive enough to be worth a try, and when it arrived promptly, I could see that it was a serious piece of machinery.
Being a player and not a Luthier, I was a little nervous about how the work would proceed, but once I put the reamer in my very basic electric drill, the Peghole Reamer did the work for me. Perhaps it's not fool-proof, but it's guitarist-proof, at least. It did a great job with no problems. It was a very good experience, and I felt great when I was able to complete the project successfully. Thanks, Stewart MacDonald, you've got the right stuff!

Tracie Cone / The Associated Press
TAFT, Calif. — The 16-year-old boy had allegedly wounded the teenager he claimed had bullied him, fired two more rounds at students fleeing their first-period science class, then faced teacher Ryan Heber.
Paramedics transport a student wounded during a shooting Thursday at a high school in Taft, Calif. Police said a student was shot and another student was taken into custody.
The Associated Press
"I don't want to shoot you," he told the popular teacher, who was trying to coax the teen into giving up the shotgun he still held.
Recounting the suspect's words, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said the confrontation was enough of a distraction to give 28 students time to escape their classroom Thursday at a California high school.
The violence came just minutes after administrators had announced new lockdown safety procedures prompted by the Newtown, Conn., school slayings.
"Just 10 minutes before it happened our teachers were giving us protocol because of what happened in Connecticut," said student Oscar Nuno, who was across campus from the science building at Taft Union High School when an announcer on the PA system said the school was under lock down "and it was not a drill."
The teen victim, who classmates said played football last year for the Taft Wildcats, was in critical but stable condition at a Kern County hospital Thursday night. He was expected to undergo surgery on Friday.
The suspect surrendered his shotgun to Heber and campus supervisor Kim Lee Fields. His pockets were stuffed with more ammunition, said Youngblood.
"This teacher and this counselor stood there face-to-face not knowing if he was going to shoot them," Youngblood said. "They probably expected the worst and hoped for the best, but they gave the students a chance to escape."
Heber's forehead had been grazed by a stray pellet, but Youngblood said the teacher who had graduated from the Taft school two decades ago was unaware he had been hit.
"He's the nicest teacher I know," Nuno said. "He loves his students and he always wants to help."
The shooting shocked residents of this remote town of 9,400 that sits amid tumbleweeds and oil fields about 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
"We know each other here," said former mayor Dave Noerr. "We drive pickups and work hard and hunt and fish. This is a grassroots town. This is the last place you'd think something like this would happen."
The 16-year-old's name is on the lips of everyone in town, but authorities aren't releasing it because he's a juvenile. He had felt bullied by the victim for more than a year, said Youngblood, who added that the claim was still being investigated.
Trish Montes described her neighbor as "a short guy" and "small" who was teased about his stature by many.
Montes said her son had worked at the school and tutored the boy last year.
"All I ever heard about him was good things from my son," Montes said. "He wasn't Mr. Popularity, but he was a smart kid. It's a shame. My kid said he was like a genius."
On Wednesday night the teen went home and plotted revenge, Youngblood said. He found a gun that authorities believe belonged to the suspect's older brother, and went to bed that night plotting revenge against two students.
"He planned the event," Youngblood said. "Certainly he believed that the two people he targeted had bullied him, in his mind. Whether that occurred or not we don't know yet."
The suspect arrived after 9 a.m., and video surveillance cameras captured him looking nervous as he entered through a side door, Youngblood said. He made his way to the second floor of the school's science building, where Heber's class with 28 students inside was under way.

Work of Legendary Illinois Black musicians collected at ccics
Illinois is known as the Land of Lincoln, but it is also the land of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and Mahalia Jackson. Those legendary African-American musicians and many others made Illinois their home at some point in their lives. Godfrey Mason has been dedicated to locating and sharing information about such artists through the establishment of the Great Black Music Project (GBMP) at the Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies.
The GBMP is an online archive that showcases African-American artists who were born in Illinois or had residency within the state during their lives. The archive includes audio and video recordings, photos, news clips, and essays featuring the work of musicians, actors, poets, and filmmakers.
Mason, who serves as director of the GBMP, said, "These artists could have moved on like many of them do, but they spent a lot of time here making their start. What we have compiled is a report of these people in all of the genres - jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and hip hop - as well as performing artists like actors and actresses."
The GBMP is Mason's brainchild, and it was Mason's personal relationships with various artists that led him to establish it. His parents knew a lot of people in the music business, and he grew up surrounded by legendary musicians.
"Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor ... all of these people were in my circle, and I didn't think anything of it," he said. "But then I did research and learned that a lot of them were from Illinois. Miles Davis is a prime example; he was a very good friend of mine, and he's from Alton, Illinois."
Currently, the GBMP is a work in progress with new information added regularly. The website is populated largely by local musicians but also includes performers from a wide range of disciplines including magicians, DJs and comedians.
"All the music and videos are there physically on CDs in the archives," said Mason. "I'm trying to find a way to make it public. We want to get everything on the website."

If you perform work that involves sharing documents or collaborating directly with vendors, clients, or customers, then you might want to use your sites to share content with people outside your organization who do not have licenses for your Microsoft Office 365 subscription.
There are three ways that you can do this:
This topic explains how to share either a site or a document with people outside your organization.
Before you take the plunge and share content externally, you should to review the section Best practices for sharing without oversharing. If you're wondering what types of users qualify as external users and what rights an external user has, see What is an external user? To learn about turning external sharing feature on and off, see the section Manage external sharing.
When you share a site with external users, you send them an invitation they can use to log in to your site. You can send this invitation to any email address. When the recipient accepts the invitation, they can log in using either a Microsoft account or an Office 365 user ID. When you share a site, you can select the type of permissions you want that person to have on the site.
Be careful about sharing your Team site or any site that your organization uses primarily for internal business and documents because you will be granting external users access to that site and any subsites that share its permissions. You might give external users access to sensitive content. If you have an ongoing need to collaborate with people outside your organization, set up a site that you use specifically for external sharing, and configure that site so that it has unique permissions from the rest of your sites. For more information about permissions inheritance, see What is permissions inheritance?
You need to be a Site Owner or have full control permissions to share a site with external users. Additionally, the external sharing feature must be turned on for your Office 365 subscription (depending on which plan you have, your Office 365 admin or your SharePoint Online admin can do this).
By default, any invitations you send to external users will expire in 7 days. If an invitee does not accept the invitation within 7 days, and you still want that person to have access to your site, you'll need to send a new invitation.
When the external users receive their invitations, they click a button that takes them to a page where they sign into your SharePoint Online site by using a Microsoft account or an Office 365 user ID. If users don't have at least a Microsoft account, they can sign up for a free Microsoft account.
Top of Page
You can create an anonymous guest link, and then share the link using whatever media suits you. For example, post it on a social media page, or paste it into an email. You can create a guest link that provides editing permission or only viewing permission.
You must be a Site Owner or have full control permissions to share a document with external users. Additionally, the external sharing feature must be turned on in either the Office 365 Service Settings or the SharePoint Online admin center (depending on which plan you have). External sharing must also be turned on for your site collection (enterprise plans only).
You may be happy to share some documents widely, and in fact you may want to encourage people to reshare them. For such documents you can allow people to create anonymous guest links with documents you share with them.
To allow this capability, you must have full control permission.
Now when people select documents you've shared with them and open the Share dialog box, they can create a guest link. Note, however, that they can only create guest links that allow guests to edit the document if you gave them edit permission when you first shared the document. If they only have view permission, they can only create guest links that allow view permission.
For an overview of Access Request Settings, see Video: Share a site without access request.
Caution If you don't select the Require sign-in check box, the email will contain an anonymous guest link to the document. Anonymous guest links could potentially be forwarded or shared with other people, who might also be able to view or edit the content without signing in.
If you've shared an entire site with a user, then that user will be able to log in to the site and function like a full member of the site. They will be able to browse, search for, view, and edit content (depending on which permission group you assign them to). They will be able to do things like see the names of other site users in the People Picker or view document metadata. External users will also appear in the People Picker as site users. This means that other people who use your site could grant different permissions to these users than you initially granted when you shared the site with them. Be sure you know the identity of external users before you invite them to your site.
If you invite external users to your Team site, they will be able to view content on the Team site and all subsites. If you want to avoid having external users gain access to important or sensitive content on your Team site, you should create a subsite of your Team site that has unique permissions, and then share only that subsite with external users. To learn more about permissions inheritance, see What is permissions inheritance?
Similarly, if you want to share a subsite that you've created on your OneDrive for Business location, you might want to ensure that it has unique permissions so that you do not accidentally grant users permission to additional sites or content on your My Site.
If you share documents using anonymous guest links, then it is possible for invitation recipients to share those guest links with others, who could use them to view content. Do not use guest links to share documents that are sensitive. If you want to minimize the risk that someone might share an anonymous link, share a document by requiring sign-in instead.
When considering if and how you want to share content externally, think about the following:
The answers to these questions will help you plan your strategy for content sharing.
Share a site
If you want to share a site, but you also want to restrict external users from gaining access to some of your organization's internal content, consider creating a subsite with unique permissions that you use exclusively for the purpose of external sharing.
You can also use the Share command to quickly see the list of people a document has been shared with.
Do one of the following:
If you want to withdraw an invitation you have sent to an external user, you can revoke the invitation before it is accepted.
Go to the site on which you want to withdraw an invitation.
If the external user has already accepted an invitation, and you want to remove them from your site, you can do so by removing them from the SharePoint permissions group to which you assigned them. The person in your organization who has permissions as the Office 365 admin or SharePoint Online admin may also remove them from the list of users for your environment. For more information, see the articles listed in the Manage external sharing section.
When a document has been shared through a guest link, you can see this information in the document callout.
You can revoke access to a document that has been shared through a guest link by disabling the link.
When people outside your organization attempt to access the content using the guest link, they will see a message telling them they cannot access it.
The admin settings for external sharing differ depending on what Office 365 plan your organization subscribes to. For information about turning the external sharing feature on or off, or otherwise configuring it, see the following topics:
If your organization is using Office 365 Small Business, see Manage sharing with external users.
If your organization is using one of the Office 365 enterprise plans, see Manage external sharing for your SharePoint online environment.
For information about setting up and managing access requests to sites, see Set up and manage access requests.

What do you think of Auto-keyframe mode?
Do you use it? If so, why? If not, why not?
John Dickinson covers this feature in this video tutorial and gives his opinion. I share John's opinion, but we want to know what others think.
I used this feature for my last motion graphics project and I found that it was more of a hindrance than a help. I've used AE since CS3 and was used to making sure the keyframes went in where I wanted them to go. With Auto-keyframe mode I sometimes forget to turn it off and don't realize that I've set extra keyframes until thirty minutes after, making the elimination of extra keyframes harder to find. In theory it's good, but for users that have experience with setting their own keyframes, I don't think it is too helpful.
I haven't upgraded to CS5 but looking at John Dickinson's video, it doesn't look particularly useful, even for beginners. I prefer the concept that I set keyframes when I choose, for the values I choose. I'd find it very frustrating to be playing around with an animation only to find keyframes have been set without my being aware of them if I'd turned on auto-keyframes. I don't see the practical difference of switching on auto-keyframes versus setting keyframes in the timeline (apart from the fact that auto-keyframes I guess would apply to any transformation regardless of whether or not you'd intended to keyframe them). So I doubt I'd be using the feature at all.
Seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity for new users, and for experienced AE users I see no need for it. Of course it's possible I just don't understand all its uses yet. I see it as a sort of global switch that turns on keyframing, that's all. But the one thing I expect it to do - set a keyframe when I enable it - it doesn't do. (as John pointed out in his excellent video)
Thankfully it defaults to disabled so you never have to bother with it if you don't want to.

If we've learned anything from Hurricane Sandy, the storm has brought out some of the best of people. And unfortunately the worst.
People are targeting down-and-out storm victims to trade gasoline for sex.
"I think it's disgusting," said one woman.
A quick search on Craigslist.com and we found some creepy offers like this: "I'll gas up your car for a quickie."
Another says, "I got 15 gallons of gas will trade for some female company."
A 21-year-old in Delaware even posted his picture, telling women he's got a generator, food and alcohol. He'll even pay travel expenses. He also assures women, "Don't worry it won't be weird."
For folks like Charles Thomas from Woodbury, N.J., whose home got flooded and lost power, it's a slap in the face.
"It's just sad people are so conceited they try to take advantage of a situation for their own good," he said.
We found someone in Bucks County willing to do a little "charity"work, inviting utility and tree worker to the home for a little "relaxation" for free.
Then, there's this guy who put it right there in black and white. The ad says, "House to myself. Married white male. Discretion assured. Need to charge your phone or check your email?"
"It makes me kind of sick it really does" said one woman who lives in Center City.
"I think it's opportunistic. I can't believe that anyone would be desperate enough to take this seriously," said another woman.
Police tell us some of these ads are blatant prostitution, saying it all depends how the ads are worded.
"Unfortunately they are taking advantage of people in need and almost making fun of it," said a man interviewed in Center City.
We tried reaching out to some of the people who placed the ads. So far, no surprise, we got no response, FOX 29's Chris O'Connell reported.

As you can tell from the picture, the previously requested recipe for Tuna Noodle Casserole (referred to as 'TNC' from here on out) was completed and eaten in all of it's glory. Here are some of the thoughts I had:
- Cream of Mushroom Soup is a losing proposition. There's a better way to get a creamy texture without resorting to the Campbells soup travesty.
- When it comes to TNC, I am a snob. As I was making the dish, I kept thinking that I was lowering my food standards. This is kind of unfair in my opinion, as I believe that there is a good recipe in here, hiding somewhere amongst the crushed potato chips and frozen peas.
- No matter how you dress it up, if you use canned tuna in the recipe, it's gonna taste kinda less than you'd expect.
Overall, it was well received by the Birthday Girl. the TNC didn't look as she remembered it, but tasted almost exactly as she recalled.
Many thanks to Chris, Jennifer, Lisa, Stacey, Zazzy, Lorrie, Rebecca, Steve, Jessica, Yana, Maureen, Diana and
Sally. They all offered some hint or insight that I used. I didn't use one specific recipe, but took bits I liked from everyone. The results were pleasantly mediocre, which in my snobbish opinion, is as good as a TNC can get.
- 16 oz. wide egg noodle
- 3 cans Tuna
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- 20 0z. Whole Milk
- 6 oz Montery Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 4oz. Parmesan Cheese, shredded
- 8 oz. Potato Chips, slightly crushed
Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook Noodles as per instructions on package. When done, drain, and rinse with cold water. Place in a glass bowl and combine with the tuna fish. Pour noodles in a 3-Quart glass baking dish and set aside in the refrigerator.
Place a medium skillet over medium heat on the stove top. Place in the olive oil and onions, and cooking until the onions juuust start to look translucent. It's at this point that you should ad the mushrooms. Cook the onions and mushrooms until the onions start to turn brown or the mushrooms lose their "raw" look, whichever comes later. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a sauce pan, melt the butter over medium/medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you have a roux. Whisk in the milk, 4 oz. at a time, ensuring the milk is fully incorporated before adding any more. This will create a thinner Béchamel Sauce (If you want an even thinner sauce, add more milk, 2 oz. at a time). To the sauce, add the shredded Jack cheese and allow to melt thoroughly. To this cheese sauce add the frozen peas and onions/mushroom mixture.
Pour cheese sauce over noodles in the baking dish. Stir in, if you wish, or simply allow to sauce to seep into the noodles. Top with the Parmesan cheese and crushed potato chips.
Cover baking dish with Aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10-15 more minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow to set for 10 minutes more.
Serves 8-12

Three From CAA Football Named AFCA All-Americans
RICHMOND, Va. (Dec. 23, 2013) – Three CAA Football student-athletes added to their growing collection of postseason accolades when they received All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) on Monday.
James Madison senior linebacker Stephon Robertson joined Towson senior offensive lineman Eric Pike and junior running back Terrance West on the 25-player team.
A Buck Buchanan Award finalist again this season, Robertson finished his four years in Harrisonburg ranked fourth on the program's all-time charts with 445 career tackles and as the FCS active leader in career, solo and assisted stops. The two-time CAA Football Defensive Player of the Year started all 46 collegiate contests in which he appeared, totaling 26 career double-digit tackle efforts along the way.
Pike has also started every game of his collegiate career, establishing a school record with his 49 career starts. The two-time team captain and two-time first team all-conference selection has played a pivotal role in Towson leading CAA Football in both scoring offense (38.5 points per game) and total offense (471.9 yards per game) this season.
A Walter Payton Award finalist, West is the leading rusher in all of college football. He has rushed for an FCS single-season record 2,410 yards on 391 carries in 2013. The CAA Football Offensive Player of the Year also leads college football with 41 touchdowns scored, including 40 on the ground. His 41 scores also represent an FCS single season record.
CAA Football (122 appearances/112 players) leads all FCS conferences on the AFCA All-America Team since 1979. The organization's complete list of 2013 All-Americans can be found here.
The AFCA has selected an All-America team every year since 1945. The organization's teams are unique in that they are the only ones chosen exclusively by the nation's coaches.
We invite you to join the conversation around CAA Football this season. The league is on Twitter @CAAFootball and uses the official hashtag #CAAFB. CAA Football can also be found on Facebook, Instagram and blogging on our Every Day Is Saturday official blog at caafootball.wordpress.com. All CAA Football video productions can be found on our YouTube Channel.

I relinquished my tiara
By Cheryl Strayed
"I was the homecoming queen," I tell people on occasion, as if that pronouncement stands for everything I used to be: skinny and pretty and snobby, charming but shallow, and dumber than a box of hair. As teens, we loved or loathed the homecoming queen and yearned to emulate or eviscerate her. In my case, I was her. Except, of course, I wasn't. I was a girl who wanted to be loved, which to me meant being pretty and slim as a stick. And so I spent my adolescence doing what we so breezily refer to as suffering for beauty. I suffered, and also I felt afraid. Afraid of looking fat, of being seen without my hair just so. My reward was that, at 17, a crown was placed on my head and I paraded through town perched on the back of a red Corvette convertible, feeling as beloved as a true queen. But I was still afraid and still suffered, thanks to the sharp grip of my tiara, its combs piercing the tender flesh of my scalp.
I'm so far from that girl now, 21 years down the road, that I have to squint to see how I became the woman I am, these days more every-hair-out-of-place than in. My transformation from high school beauty queen to actual self has been rendered almost invisible by the passage of time; it has happened in moments that have had nothing to do with my weight or hair color. Instead, the shifts were spurred by important things: how to go on living after the early death of my mother; how to believe in myself enough to risk a career as a writer; how to find good love and forge a strong marriage of equals; and, more recently, how to mother my two children. I've become the woman who, as a teen, I never knew I wanted to be: imperfect, but drawing strength from those imperfections. For me, that journey began with the first breath of air I took once I left the insularity of high school and continues as I greet new gray hairs and tiny wrinkles with at least a measure of calm. These days, the queen lives not within me but outside me, in a box in my closet that I come across from time to time. My old tiara lies inside, a glimmering artifact of the dream girl I used to be.
I put myself out there
By A.M. Homes
In my case, self-acceptance was on back order and didn't arrive until I was in my 40s. There was a moment when I looked beyond myself, and wondered: Why do I care so much what most people think? And then I thought of artists whose work means a lot to me—Picasso, De Kooning, Edward Albee, Patti Smith and Lou Reed—and it became clear that what I admired about each was the fact that despite their own self-consciousness, despite doubt, they were compelled to do their work, to risk failure. I reflect on these mentors, and what I see are men and women who were or are themselves, genuinely, with all the signs and scars that suggest a battle hard won. As human beings, we are all conditioned to care, to conform. To reject conformity in favor of asserting one's individual nature is the work of a lifetime. It's hard to create art (or simply live your life) if you're looking over your shoulder. Each time I make something new, I feel I am once again offering my exposed self to the world and saying, "What do you think of me now?" And then, I do it all over again.

Franklin Crash Investigation Focuses on Fuel ServoBy Fareed Guyot, Manager – Electronic Publications, EAA 388642
April 14, 2011 — As Kyle Franklin and his wife Amanda continue to recover from their injuries as a result of a crash last month, NTSB investigators are focusing on a fuel system component that may be susceptible to damage during engine backfires. Kyle was preparing to enter a climbing maneuver and as he advanced the throttle on his Waco biplane he experienced an "abnormal engine operation" according to NTSB Senior Air Safety Investigator Aaron Sauer. A burst of flame came out of the exhaust and there was a partial loss of engine power. Kyle advanced the throttle again in an attempt to get the engine running, which prompted more flames from the exhaust and a total loss of power.
The engine on the Waco is a Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial and features a Bendix fuel injection servo system. To test the engine the Bendix servo was removed and cylinders five and six, which had impact damage, were replaced. The engine fuel pump ran normally when bench tested.
The fuel servo was bench tested and found to be operating normally at high power settings but a slightly high mixture at moderate and low power, Sauer reported. Internal inspection of the servo found a lever that was bent within the unit. Sauer said that an engineer familiar with the unit stated that during engine backfires, the reverse pressure flow through the servo can bend the lever and affect the fuel/air mixture.
The engine on Franklin's airplane had undergone a complete overhaul 40 hours prior to the accident. Sauer said that the internal lever was not bent by the crash impact but may have been bent when Franklin experienced the engine anomaly or in the previous 40 hours since overhaul.
"We don't know the answer to that and I don't know if we ever will," Sauer told EAA.
In 1988 Precision Airmotive purchased many of the Bendix fuel servo lines but it is not known if the company supports the servo that was on Franklin's plane. Sauer said the testing and examination of the aircraft components is complete; however, he is awaiting recommendations from Precision on whether further testing of the servo will provide additional insight.
Sauer said that he has not had a chance to interview Kyle at length about the accident due to his wife's difficult recovery from severe burns sustained in the crash, but he wished the best for the Franklins.
"Tremendous support from all the folks involved," Sauer said of the investigation. "I wish nothing but the best and continued progress for Kyle and Amanda with the injuries they sustained.

Sparks got a hat trick and an assist from Ruben Pacheco en route to capture the non-league road win.
Pacheco scored in the second, fourth and 35th minutes as Sparks snagged a 3-0 advantage by halftime. The first goal was unassisted but Juan Hernandez and Edwin Navarro gave away assists on the second and third goals respectively.
Sparks pushed its lead to 4-0 when Hernandez found the back of the net on an assist from Pacheco, seven minutes into the second half.
In stoppage time, Incline tallied its lone goal, on a penalty kick.
It didn't take the Railroaders long to answer, Freshman Frankie Macias added a goal for Sparks, also in stoppage time, when Navarro posted his second assist of the non-league affair.
SHS goalkeeper Ronaldo Hernandez racked up 17 saves in the local school's lopsided victory.
Sparks finished with 19 shots on goal.
"We ran our kids into the ground during indoor practices," Sparks coach Frank Avilla said. "The boys are in great condition and that's a tribute to them working hard. In the second half, we really controlled everything. The boys played well. We have a long way to go and a lot of work to do, but I think we can have another good year."
Sparks plays new league foe Dayton Tuesday at 5 p.m.
The Sparks girls did not experience the same kind of success as their male counterparts in their 2013 debut. Incline handed the Railroaders a 7-0 non-league shellacking in the girls' contest.
"They were really pretty good," Sparks coach Jerry Miller said of the host Highlanders. "They played well together. We've had maybe four or five outdoor practices. We need some field work. They had some experience on the field that we don't have yet. We have talent. We'll be OK when we get some time in playing together. It's hard to get teamwork when you're playing in a gym. The whole spatial aspect of the game is lost."
The SHS girls also play Dayton Tuesday.

Rick in CA
It is big, like stand back after installing it and wonder if it's too big, big. Like the pancakes John Candy cooked up in "Uncle Buck" big. It's big. But it works. I highly recommend not installing this the night before a race as it takes some time to get used to. I cooked my rear brake in the first section by dragging the rear brake. But it is adjustable, there are three mounting holes to personalize your fit. If you have big feet, dont make the mistake of mounting it too far to the rear like I did, thus the dragging issue. If you own a KTM you will be pleasantly surprised that this is a plug and play item, it threads nicely into your existing bolt holes with high quality stainless steel hardware. Plus that third bolt hole makes a very nice and clean mounting option for a brake-snake if you run one. I highly recommend this tip and would buy one for future bikes.Read All Reviews

Looks great, with all the 3D CNC milling marks on it! Work very good with my size 12 Alpinestars Tech 8's. I sprayed some rubber protectant on the rubber boot of the rear master cylinder, so when you adjust the position. So you don't twist and rip the thin rubber boot, it will slide as you rotate the piston shaft while adjusting it.Read All Reviews

UNC Asheville Students Share their Scenes from Across the Sea
(December 11, 2013)
Thomas (Ted) Kendrick studied at the National University in Ireland in Galway in Spring 2013, which is where he took an award-winning photo from the Slieve League Cliffs on the northwest coast of Donegal, Ireland.
"I knew the life skills that I learned here [while studying abroad] would be invaluable," said Kendrick in his photo entry. "I was ready for something new and time away from Asheville. It refreshed my view of UNC Asheville."
The experience also captured one of 10 top spots in UNC Asheville Study Abroad program's 10th annual photo contest, sharing the award for general excellence with first place winner, Lisa Riggsbee, and third place recipient, Shonie Kuykendall.
Hannah Buessler, Maddie Hodges, Anna Testa, Sari-Rose Brown, Erin Sattler, and Lindsay Holton also placed in categories for portrait and landscape. Corey Hau won best in show.
The photos will be on display in Blowers Gallery for the month of April, with a reception on Tuesday, April 8, 2014, from noon to 1 p.m.
To see more international opportunities, visit the Study Abroad Office. Deadlines for summer study abroad programs are mid-February and for fall study abroad programs are mid-January to mid-February. Scholarships and need-based grants are available, including new scholarships in 2014 for study in China, Japan, South Korea, Belgium and Spain.
