An early Wednesday morning crash sent a car slamming into a light pole and caused a small power outage.
Trooper R.A. McGowen of the Highway Patrol said he got the call to Lyman Rod in Beulaville around 12:45 a.m.
McGowen said he arrived to find 21-year-old Daymon Hayes' car slammed against a power pole.
Hayes lost control of his car in a curve, according to McGowen, and hit the pole head on.
While alcohol was a factor in the wreck, troopers said the amount was not high enough to charge Hayes with a DWI.
Hayes was taken to Vidant Duplin Hospital with minor injuries.
Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation tells WITN one customer lost power as a result of the crash. By 7 a.m., the power was back on.
Hayes was charged with reckless driving.

The ClearVue™ condensate pump from DiversiTech is unlike any other pump available. ClearVue features iQ Technology™ which makes ClearVue the smartest condensate pump on the market. iQ Technology provides ClearVue the ability to "think" and adapt to changing conditions - it's not just off or on like a regular pump. ClearVue senses the amount of condensate water in the tank and its rate of inflow and adjusts its speed and lift to match the conditions and keep the tank clear. ClearVue also features Floatless Sensor™ Technology to detect the water level and rate of inflow, and decide what to do next.
iQ Technology:
- Variable Lift: The variable lift in ClearVue assures that the pump impeller is spinning only as fast as is needed to lift the condensate water to the height needed. A slower spinning impeller means significantly less noise than conventional condensate pumps. Variable speed is a proven, quieting feature in furnace blower motors. This electronically controlled technology is now available in the ClearVue Pump.
- Self Cleaning: One of the most common problems in condensate removal is the blockage of a drain line downstream from the condensate pump. By monitoring pumping conditions, ClearVue is able to detect when a drain line is partially or fully clogged. In these instances, ClearVue increases the pressure in the drain line to attempt to clear the clog.
Floatless Sensor:
- Conventional pumps use an electro-mechanical float switch to turn a condensate pump on and off, and to detect a potential overflow condition with a high level alarm. Electromechanical float switches are prone to mechanical failure, debris fouling, and misalignment. DiversiTech's patent pending Floatless Sensor eliminates many of the mechanical problems associated with conventional condensate pumps.
Other high level features include single button drainage, alarm terminals, a reversible deck, a see-through tank, stainless steel hang tabs, and anti-vibration rubber feet.

Price debate
California pushes forward, but are consumers ready?
Published In: Intelligent Utility Magazine May/June 2010
THE OLD ADAGE THAT RESIDENTIAL consumers don't truly understand electricity pricing has come back to haunt electric utilities as they begin to introduce smart metering and dynamic pricing. Reliability, on the other hand, is a concept consumers have no trouble getting their heads around. The trouble, to date, seems to be the ability to interrelate the two. In fact, consumer acceptance and adoption are among the top challenges intelligent utilities currently face with regard to smart grid initiatives.
California turns to economic incentives
In California, where recent consumer pushback has been both vocal and litigious, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is moving to establish dynamic electricity prices for the entire state, including residential consumers as well as commercial, industrial and agricultural customers.
In a concerted effort to move in this direction, the CPUC recently approved new rate structures for Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s (PG&E) commercial, industrial and agricultural customers. The new dynamic pricing scheme will charge varying rates for peak and non-peak times, with an initial opt-out option for the approximately 12 peak-day events.
Customers will be given one-day notification of these events, so they can plan to switch electrical usage. All customers using peak-day pricing rates will be given bill stabilization for the first year, as well as a hedging option to reduce bill volatility.
On May 1, PG&E's large commercial and industrial customers were automatically switched to the dynamic pricing scheme, unless they proactively chose to opt out. Small and medium commercial and industrial customers default to the peak-day pricing plan beginning Nov. 1, 2011.
Michael R. Peevy, CPUC's president, feels this move will increase customer involvement. ''By providing real economic incentives to reduce electric demand during peak periods, we can increase customer involvement in managing California's energy supply, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and manage future power plant development costs,'' he said.
In agreeing to the new rates, the CPUC also ordered PG&E to conduct outreach and education activities and measures to ensure that customers are aware of and understand the new rates and options.
Education remains essential
In the face of vocal residential pushback and more than 600 complaints to the CPUC-mostly from the PG&E service area-the commission at the end of March selected an independent evaluator to test and validate meter billing and accuracy of PG&E's smart meters.
Andrew Tang, PG&E's senior director of customer care, welcomed the independent evaluation. ''We continue to wholeheartedly support the CPUC's independent third-party evaluation,'' he said, and added that the utility is committed to its customers, and is continuing its education efforts around the benefits of its SmartMeter technology.
''As with any initiative rollout of this magnitude, one would expect to run into challenges, whether physical, technological, customer acceptance or human error,'' he added. ''As we address those challenges, we will identify any issues and make them right with our customers. When customers have questions about their meters or bills, we will work with them to address their questions.''
Consumer engagement is key
As California continues moving along its intended path to establish dynamic pricing statewide, the CPUC has also requested commentary on the state's smart grid deployment plans, and the best methods for providing access to electricity prices and usage.
And what it is hearing so far reflects current industry thought on the ability for utilities to engage their consumers. As one company focusing its efforts on consumer-driven energy management and efficiency wrote in its submission to the CPUC: ''[We] argue that consumer engagement is fundamental to the next generation of energy efficiency and demand response applications, particularly in a smart grid environment.''
But price of electricity alone may not completely engage the consumer to change behavior, which is one of California's goals in its dynamic pricing plan. It continued: ''Price as a lone motivator may overlook the significant potential of other factors, such as improving the environment, competition, cooperation, peer comparisons, learning and recognition and rewards.''
Answers uncertain
Clearly, the answer to full consumer engagement is out there. Whether dynamic pricing alone will be enough to facilitate the necessary change in electricity usage behavior remains to be seen.

SURVEY: Clients find most accountants' websites useless
We conducted a potential client survey to see what parts of an accountant's website are most useful, and least useful. Many premium features we pay for like online monthly newsletters are a waste of money. What do you guys think?
What you say about newsletters is interesting. It would be hard to argue that the promise of a newsletter is going to be a big hook when chosing an accountant. Having said that, with marketing options for accountants such a tricky subject, I wouldn't say they should be discounted or are a total waste of money. Ongoing client comms, gentle reminders and interesting updates are surely going to be a valuable client-retention tool (I think your research concedes this). The nature of the newsletter - and whether it says anything new about you or is simply a template affair that is almost identical to that which is fired out by lots of other accountants - is another matter.
Thank you for doing the survey and linking the results. I am in the process of building my website, so this is really useful to me.
Ben is right
A genuine personal newsletter is appreciated but a template newsletter is ignored.
The question has driven the answer
I like the survey but the question is about the three most important things on a web site when choosing an accountant. Therefore the fact that a email newsletter comes so low is not at all surprising. The other problem with most accountants email newsletters that I have experienced is that they are too long, too diverse and trying too hard to appeal to too many people all at the same time.
The clue is in the name, NEWS letter. Is the content really news? Usually, it is very poorly disguised marketing male bauvine excrement.
Research shows that most people have a quick scan of an email and if something doesn't grab them within less than 3 seconds it gets deleted. The average time recorded is actually less than one second.
Funnily enough, proper hard copy real printed newsletters have a far great chance of being read and responded to. I have no idea how many clients the average accountant has but I suspect that it is not numbered in the thousands. If you have say 100 or 200 clients a proper printed hard copy newsletter is not just affordable it is a profit centre. A well written and well designed newsletter delivered directly to all of your clients should generate real revenue beyond its meagre cost.
I don't have personal examples in the accounting industry. We have produced two newsletters recently for a Rolls Royce dealership and on both ocassions they can link them directly to selling cars. Their customers did not respond to emails in the same way.
In the end, whether you deliver your message by email or in print the most important ingredient is the words backed up by design that helps you to read them in the right way and encourages a response. If you use a good professional copywriter who asks loads of questions and then get it designed by a good professional graphic designer who also asks loads of questions you are guaranteed to get a good return on your investment.
Good luck and please remember that these things are investments, not expenses.
Ben and Peter are spot on!
Client retention is the main point of a newsletter. Apparently over 70% of clients that leave a firm leave through indifference. They simply feel under valued and unimportant and so when another firm contacts them claiming to be proactive of course the temptation is there to leave. A newsletter is a good way to help ease this situation. And as Peter points out, a personalised newsletter is far more effect than a generic one.
I have seen newsletters work to gain clients though. A couple of our clients have tried referral schemes, which they have advertised on their newsletter and seen reasonable results. Another client did a presentation at a national event for his client base. We suggested that he write about the experience and we would include it in his newsletter, which he did, we then Tweeted the newsletter and he got a client on the back of it.
David Ellis Managing Director
Over the course of 7 years I tried a variety of newsletters. The full clour glossy 1/4 years templates badged up as me we a complete waste of time, but a 1-2 side A4 letter, personally addressed and hand signed sent out every 2 months very strictly edited to be short and sharp and include some business news, not just tax and accountancy, went down a storm and were read by clients, prospects and contacts alike... I would actually have phone calls if I was late sending them out asking where the update was!
This is a very cheap and very effective marketing tool that is very very easy to put together in 1-2 hours every other month.

31 U.S. Code § 3902 - Interest penalties
prev | next
(a) Under regulations prescribed under section 3903 of this title, the head of an agency acquiring property or service from a business concern, who does not pay the concern for each complete delivered item of property or service by the required payment date, shall pay an interest penalty to the concern on the amount of the payment due. The interest shall be computed at the rate of interest established by the Secretary of the Treasury, and published in the Federal Register, for interest payments under section 7109 (a)(1) and (b) of title 41, which is in effect at the time the agency accrues the obligation to pay a late payment interest penalty.
(b) The interest penalty shall be paid for the period beginning on the day after the required payment date and ending on the date on which payment is made.
(1) A business concern shall be entitled to an interest penalty of $1.00 or more which is owed such business concern under this section, and such penalty shall be paid without regard to whether the business concern has requested payment of such penalty.
(2) Each payment subject to this chapter for which a late payment interest penalty is required to be paid shall be accompanied by a notice stating the amount of the interest penalty included in such payment and the rate by which, and period for which, such penalty was computed.
(3) If a business concern—
(B) is not paid the interest penalty in a payment made to the business concern by the agency on or after the date on which the interest penalty becomes due;
(C) is not paid the interest penalty by the agency within 10 days after the date on which such payment is made; and
(D) makes a written demand, not later than 40 days after the date on which such payment is made, that the agency pay such a penalty,
such business concern shall be entitled to an amount equal to the sum of the late payment interest penalty to which the contractor is entitled and an additional penalty equal to a percentage of such late payment interest penalty specified by regulation by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, subject to such maximum as may be specified in such regulations.
(d) The temporary unavailability of funds to make a timely payment due for property or services does not relieve the head of an agency from the obligation to pay interest penalties under this section.
(e) An amount of an interest penalty unpaid after any 30-day period shall be added to the principal amount of the debt, and a penalty accrues thereafter on the added amount.
(f) This section does not authorize the appropriation of additional amounts to pay an interest penalty. The head of an agency shall pay a penalty under this section out of amounts made available to carry out the program for which the penalty is incurred.
(g) A recipient of a grant from the head of an agency may provide in a contract for the acquisition of property or service from a business concern that, consistent with the usual business practices of the recipient and applicable State and local law, the recipient will pay an interest penalty on amounts overdue under the contract under conditions agreed to by the recipient and the concern. The recipient may not pay the penalty from amounts received from an agency. Amounts expended for the penalty may not be counted toward a matching requirement applicable to the grant. An obligation to pay the penalty is not an obligation of the United States Government.
(1) This section shall apply to contracts for the procurement of property or services entered into pursuant to section 4(h) of the Act of June 29, 1948 (15 U.S.C. 714b (h)).
(A) In the case of a payment to which producers on a farm are entitled under the terms of an agreement entered into under the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.), an interest penalty shall be paid to the producers if the payment has not been made by the required payment or loan closing date. The interest penalty shall be paid—
(B) As used in this subsection, the "required payment or loan closing date" means—
(i) for a purchase agreement, the 30th day after delivery of the warehouse receipt for the commodity subject to the purchase agreement;
(ii) for a loan agreement, the 30th day beginning after the date of receipt of an application with all requisite documentation and signatures, unless the applicant requests that the disbursement be deferred;
(iii) for refund of amounts received greater than the amount required to repay a commodity loan, the first business day after the Commodity Credit Corporation receives payment for such loan;
(iv) for land diversion payments (other than advance payments), the 30th day beginning after the date of completion of the production adjustment contract by the producer;
(v) for an advance land diversion payment, 30 days after the date the Commodity Credit Corporation executes the contract with the producer;
(vi) for a deficiency payment (other than advance payments) based upon a 12-month or 5-month period, 91 days after the end of such period; or
(3) Payment of the interest penalty under this subsection shall be made out of funds available under section 8 of the Act of June 29, 1948 (15 U.S.C. 714f).
(4) Section 3907 of this title shall not apply to interest penalty payments made under this subsection.

How to "Drop" a Course
Online - SURF
In person - Drop Card
It would have been better for the student in the previous example to have withdrawn or dropped his classes instead of getting low grades. Dropping classes won't affect your G.P.A. There are two methods you can use to drop a course. You can drop a course online through SURF. Click on the hyperlinks to see a demonstration or read directions. Make sure you know the drop deadline, which can be found in the course schedule every semester. The second method involves obtaining an official drop card from the Admissions and Records Office. Complete the drop card and submit it to Admissions and Records by the drop deadline. You do not need the instructor's approval or signature to drop the course. The drop deadline can be found in the class schedule or your instructor's syllabus. You can obtain a printout online through SURF or from the Admissions and Records office showing you have "officially" dropped the course.

Jaws Orca Model Ship
Handcraftedmodelships.com offers a fully assembled Jaws Orca replica model from the critically acclaimed movie Jaws. This particular model comes ready for display in your model ship collection, and goes great with other famous ships from blockbuster movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, for instance. The Jaws Orca model is twenty inches in length, six inches in width, and seventeen inches in height, making it a modestly sized model with ease of transportation. The amazing details of this handcrafted wooden model boat are as accurate as possible to the Jaws Orca ship that it is based on. Striking resemblances can be seen in the deck details, metal propeller, and wooden sorting tray. The finished model is attached with a nameplate on a wooden base, and features "Orca" painted on the back of the boat.
Take a look at the attention to detail displayed when seeing the real Orca from the movie compared with the model from Handcrafted Model Ships:
Jaws The Movie – Critical Reception
Jaws is a critically acclaimed film from 1975 directed by Steven Spielberg. It won Academy Awards in the categories of Film Editing, Music, and Sound. In 2008, Jaws was deemed the fifth greatest film ever made, by Empire magazine. Furthermore, the United States Library of Congress voted Jaws to be "culturally significant", and had it preserved in the National Film Registry.
Jaws – Plot
The new police chief of an island resort town, Amity, finds the washed up body of a summer vacationer. The cause was determined to be from a shark, but the Mayor instead has it ruled a motorboat accident, so as not to deter the 4th of July tourists. When the bodies start piling up, a shark hunter by the name of Quint offers to kill the shark for $10,000, but is turned down by the money hungry mayor. When another shark is caught and killed, the mayor celebrates, believing it to be the shark responsible for the grizzly killings. However, that is not the case, as more people fall victim to the real culprit's deadly teeth. Finally, the mayor hires Quint to hunt the shark, who gathers a crew and sets off in the Orca ship to track down and kill the great white.
The Jaws Orca – Creating History
Jaws became the first film to usher in the "summer blockbuster" Hollywood trend. Traditionally, films would open slowly by showing in select theaters in select cities. However, Jaws used a national marketing campaign which utilized television advertising to open Jaws on hundreds of screens across the country simultaneously. Due to these unheard of practices, Jaws is forever credited as being a historical film in the context of changing the film industry.
The Orca model ship offered at handcraftedmodelships.com is a brilliant model ship that not only will reflect your love of the film Jaws, but will also allow you to have a piece of the cultural phenomena that is Jaws. This model ship will sit proudly among the other movie ships in your collection, and let visitors to your nautical room know that you appreciate both a good film, and a good model.

Big River
Inventory and Assessment for Big River Watershed
Executive Summary
The Big River basin is located in east-central Missouri and drains 955 square miles of the Ozark plateau in portions of six counties. Big River has eight, order five tributaries and flows northward for 138 miles until it reaches the Meramec River.
The majority of basin land use is forest and pasture with some row cropping along stream bottoms. However, urbanization is rapidly increasing in the lower basin. Only 5% of the basin is owned by state and federal agencies. Surveys have found that local-users spend much time recreating (especially fishing) on and around Big River.
Basin streams exhibit typical Ozarkian characteristics: good water quality and fish habitat, and representative Ozark fish assemblages. Nineteen sensitive natural communities, including good examples of Ozark creeks and Ozark springs and spring branches are present. However, damage to some aquatic habitats and the potential for serious damage to several streams exists due to past lead and barite mining activity. Stabilization and reclamation projects are beginning to address some of these problems. Unsafe mine dams and poorly-stored mine waste continue to degrade habitat or biota in about 110 miles of basin streams. The United States Army Corps of Engineers predicts catastrophic results from 27 high-hazard, unsafe dams during a moderate earthquake or major flood.
Riparian corridor habitat is fair to good, with Big River having slightly better habitat than tributary streams. About 75% of basin streambanks have either minimal or no erosion and are protected by trees or shrubs. Riparian corridors are negatively affected by riparian land use, especially along tributary streams.
Overall, stream habitat is good with rock slides, boulders, gravel, water willow, downed logs, and rootwads. However, eroded mine waste has buried aquatic habitats in some basin streams, leading to extirpation of some benthic invertebrates. This sediment is associated with elevated levels of heavy metals. Habitat quality is threatened by potential releases of mine waste. A fish consumption advisory for some fish species is present on Big River due to lead contamination.
The basin exhibits good aquatic biodiversity. One hundred fish species, 34 mussel species, eight crayfish species, and 107 aquatic insect taxa have been found within the basin. Four fish and three mussel species are either endangered, rare, or on the State watch list.
Maintaining and improving species diversity and habitat quality will be the main focus of management efforts. Increasing stream recreational opportunities and educating the public will be stressed. To be successful, cooperation of landowners, volunteer organizations, and other governmental agencies will be needed.

I agree more with Garcia. Its a huge dissappointment to see that they aren't going to make LH. LH is by far more balanced(From what I've seen since the big strong cards are limited to only 3 plays if your lucky enough to draw all 3 in game and then dissappear makes this game more balanced in the fact that you can't play any card in your file at any time, but only able to play them if you get them.) and a bit more fun and a hugely nice break from getting your but kicked in folrart while testing new files to see what works. Though i can see a point to not wanting to deal with multiple erratas, but seeing as the nature of LH I don't honestly believe there would be a need for as many if not any Erratas for LH to begin with. Its not played the same way as alteil, which is set up to where so long as you have the sphere level and sp you can play any card in your file at any time, which there leads to the posibility of certain cards needing to be erratad, so there for would most likely not need an errata for LH.
I honestly only skimmed over the message but from the looks of it this was just my only thing that i was down abouth.

The body of Senator Mark Udall's brother has been found in Wyoming.
James "Randy" Udall disappeared while on a backpacking trip in the Wind River Range in Wyoming. It was a place he often went backpacking over the past 30 years. He was reported missing Friday and search teams have been looking for him ever since.
At this point, foul play is not suspected in his death. There will be an autopsy, but his family says it appears he died of natural causes. Their statement is below:
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Randy. Randy's body was discovered today by the heroic search and rescue team that worked for days to locate him in a remote area of the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Our family is extremely grateful to Sublette County Sheriff Dave Lankford, his staff, Tip Top Search and Rescue, the United States Forest Service, Wyoming Air National Guard, and all others involved for their tireless efforts over the past several days. Although an autopsy is forthcoming, it appears he died of natural causes.
Randy left this earth doing what he loved most: hiking in his most favorite mountain range in the world. He appeared to be on the obscure, off-trail route that he had proposed to his family. The entire Udall family is touched beyond words by the tremendous outpouring of support from people around the country. Randy's passing is a reminder to all of us to live every day to its fullest, just as he did."

He has investigated the relationship between levels of energy consumption and societal well-being, public opinion about energy problems and policies, factors affecting the adoption of solar energy technologies and conservation practices, and public attitudes toward and acceptance of nuclear power and nuclear policies. Most recently his research is focused on two complementary topics: technological risk and global environmental change. The principal activity associated with the first topic includes a range of topics, from the epistemology of risk, to public acceptability of nuclear power, to concerns about the long-term stewardship of toxic and radioactive wastes. In addition he teaches and is writing about the "Risk Society." The principal activities associated with the second topic are research devoted to specifying the anthropogenic (human-induced) causes of carbon dioxide (CO2) loads and ecological footprints, to the historical relationships between greenhouse gases and societal well-being, and history of social thought on climate, and testing theories of environmental impact.

- Title
- Towards a protein vaccine for nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
- Author(s)
- Kyd, Jennelle M.; Cripps, Allan W.
- Abstract
- Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI), a gram-negative bacterium that is considered an important human pathogen, causes a broad spectrum of disease in both adults and children. An effective vaccine against NTHI would reduce the incidence of disease and reduce the dependency on antibiotic therapies as a means of defense. The results from immunization studies with whole killed-cell formulations of NTHI indicate that it is feasible to protect against NTHI infections by vaccination. The limitation of a whole-cell formulation is the considerable strain-heterogeneity in NTHI strains. Several proteins on the outer membrane appear highly conserved and offer potential as vaccine candidates.
