"We are likely to end 2012 with a record level of assets'' in exchange-traded funds and other exchange-traded products, said�Deborah Fuhr, Managing Partner at�ETFGI, the London consulting firm that compiles the numbers. This should also reflect "a record level of net new assets invested into the products during the year.''
Globally, assets placed in ETFs and ETPs reached an all-time high of $1.9 trillion at the end of November 2012, according to ETFGI's tally.
Assets in ETFs and ETPs reached all-time highs of $1.3 trillion in the U.S., $359 billion in Europe, $78.7 billion in Asia-Pacific (ex-Japan), $46.9 billion in Japan and $11.6 billion in Latin America. Through the end of November 2012, ETF and ETP assets this year have increased by 23.8% from $1.5 trillion to $1.9 trillion.
Overall, $21.3 billion of net new money went into ETFs and ETPs in the month of November, according to Fuhr, managing partner at ETFGI. Through the end of November 2012, ETFs and ETPs saw net inflows of $223 billion, $69 billion above the level of net new assets at this time last year.
Worldwide,�Vanguard�gathered the largest net ETF and ETP inflows in November with $7.7 billion, followed by BlackRock's iShares business with $7.2 billion and State Street's SPDR ETFs with $5.4 billion.
Domestically, Vanguard also has gathered the largest net ETF inflows for the first 11 months of the year, gaining $53.3 billion. That is followed by�iShares' $45.5 billion and�SPDR ETFs�at $18.5 billion.
The iShares business is currently the largest ETF provider in terms of overall assets held at $516 billion. That amounts to a 43.9% market share.
Vanguard is second with $242 billion and 20.6% market share, followed by SPDR ETFs with $234 billion and 19.9% market share. The top three ETF providers account for 84.4% of U.S. ETF assets, while the remaining 32 providers tracked each have less than or equal to 5% market share, according to ETFGI.
The big arrivals of the year: Actively managed ETFs-and its embodiment in the�Total Return ETF(BOND) from�Pacific Investment Management Co. The Total Return ETF, which is an exchange-traded offspring of the�Total Return�mutual fund from PIMCO, had raised $3.9 billion as of Dec. 11. The mutual fund is the world's largest, with $285 billion in assets.
All told, actively managed ETFs crossed the $10 billion threshold in assets accumulated for the first time, by the time November ended, according to the�AdvisorShares Active ETF Report.
There are currently 12 active ETF sponsors managing 55 active ETFs. PIMCO now dominates the active ETF market with close to a 61% market share followed by WisdomTree at 27% and AdvisorShares at 6.7%.
Noah Hamman, chief executive officer of AdvisorShares, noted that while $10 billion may not be a lot relative to the entire industry, it's a small milestone for the sub-sector, which is on the path to significant growth.
"Active ETFs are growing at a rate of 100% like index-based ETFs did back in 1993 through 1996 when they were significantly smaller. Active ETFs are seeing more assets in the same timeframe than index-based ETFs did when they were just four years old," he said.
While Hamman acknowledged PIMCO's effort in the space, he said that he's content with his firm's growth compared to some of the other ETF shops that have come into the market and not make it.
For example, this past summer Russell Investments closed 25 index-based ETFs whileFocusShares, an affiliate of discount broker-dealer Scottrade, liquidated its family of 15 ETFs.
"We've been happy that we've been able to grow by offering unique strategies in an active ETF structure," said Hamman.
AdvisorShares is launching the�AdvisorShares Pring Turner Business Cycle�(DBIZ) ETF on Dec. 19. The fund will bet on stocks, bonds and commodities and will employ business cycle research from a subadvisor,�Pring Turner Capital Group, to govern choices. It has a net expense ratio of 162 basis points.

Jim Ingraham: A devalued Melky Cabrera might be good fit for Indians
In trying to project which free agents the Indians might have an interest in, a good place to start is with the Statue of Liberty Principle — i.e. "give us your tired, your poor, the wretched refuse," etc., etc.
If the player fits into that category, chances are the Indians are interested.
They've already acquired one such player, claiming reliever Blake Wood off waivers from Kansas City. Wood missed most of last season and will miss the first few months of next season as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery.
That one was right in the Tribe's wheelhouse.
Here's another one who theoretically could be: Melky Cabrera.
Would the Indians have an interest in baseball's most notorious juicer from 2012? Cabrera was the All-Star game MVP, thus helping his San Francisco Giants gain the home-field advantage in the World Series — which they would play, and win, without him.
Cabrera was leading the National League in hitting at .346 when he was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for testosterone on Aug. 15. When he was done serving his suspension, the Giants chose to leave him off their postseason roster — not exactly a ringing endorsement of his value.
Cabrera is now a free agent. There will undoubtedly be some teams who choose not to pursue him because they don't want to deal with the controversy that might come with signing him.
That's good news for the Indians — the less competition, the better.
Cabrera's price tag also plummeted following his suspension. That's also good news for the Indians. Continued...
He was having a career year when he was suspended, and he seemed poised to cash in with a huge free-agent contract after the season.
Now? Not so much.
Now Cabrera may be looking at a one-year deal, as teams shy away from making a long-term commitment to a player who raised his own red flag with a suspension that might suggest to some his career year was chemically enhanced.
The figures are fairly dramatic. In the first six years of his career, Cabrera hit .267 with a .328 on-base percentage and .379 slugging percentage.
Over the last two years, which ended with his drug suspension, Cabrera hit .322 with a .360 on-base percentage and .489 slugging percentage.
Who's buying?
We'll eventually find out, as the free-agent season progresses. There is no indication Cabrera is on the Indians' radar — do they even have a radar? — but he does fit the profile, and if you get past the drug suspension, he would be the kind of hitter they could use.
For starters, he's a switch hitter, and he wears out left-handed pitchers, who wore out Indians hitters last year. Against left-handed pitchers in 2012, Cabrera hit .395 with a .444 on-base percentage and .667 slugging percentage.
However, his career numbers vs. lefties are much more modest: .279/.339/.410, which feeds the chemically enhanced whispers of 2012.
At 28, Cabrera should just be entering his prime. But there will be considerable pressure on him in 2013 to produce like he did in 2012 in order to prove the spike in his numbers the last two years weren't dependent on an illegal substance. Continued...
So in other words, Cabrera has a lot riding on his ability to stay clean and productive in 2013. It seems likely a one-year deal, allowing him to re-establish his character and skill level, would be in order.
One-year deals are always attractive to the Indians. For now, Cabrera is perceived as a bad boy. Would the Indians have an interest in him? Well, last season they brought back bad boy Roberto Hernandez, who for years took millions of dollars from them under false pretenses.
Mark Shapiro and Chris Antonetti are also both products of the John Hart executive tree, and Hart once traded for an all-time bad boy in John Rocker.
There are other flawed characters out there for the bottom-feeding Indians to consider. Players such as Delmon Young, who is a butcher in left field and swings at everything, but is a right-handed hitter who can hit fastballs over the fence fairly regularly, is a career .307 hitter vs. lefties — and the Indians do need a DH.
Or Ryan Ludwick, another right-handed hitter, who is a good guy and a former Indian, but whose flaw would be a suspicion his big numbers in 2012 — 28 homers, 80 RBI, a .531 slugging percentage — were swollen by playing in a bandbox in Cincinnati.
Or switch-hitting Lance Berkman (flaw: 37 years old, shredded knees) or Jonny Gomes (18 home runs in just 279 at-bats; flaw: a statue defensively).
Decisions, decisions. For the Indians: so few dollars, so much wretched refuse.

Unless I'm dreaming, after Cel left on Sunday we wiped V/Y 3 or 4 times, raid vs. raid, even numbered. And unless I'm plainly out of it, I'm fairly sure I saw you around when it was happening.

Re: Vanguard
You're the freep raid leader I respect the most at the moment because even though you have random PUGS with you, still keep coming back and you don't hide in NPC's (mostly).
That being said, anytime the fight is even close to equal numbers you guys have been getting destroyed with almost no losses. The other night in an hour and change I made 3k inf and 0 deaths in a 20 person raid.

Re: Vanguard
The only competent leader, something freep side has been missing a while. Aside from FF/Vanguard coming out once every 3 weeks or something.
Chio - Zerg and still hides in NPCs
Alzie - Hardly leads, mass log outs after 1-2 wipes
Celderon - Keep flipper
I don't blame sylidor for the 'uncoordinated' feel to his fraids lately because Freeps have been so used to solo zerging for the last couple months. You can tell by the lack of focus targetting on their end and complete lack of captain bubbles / rk healers. At this rate though freeps will get more used to fighting together and the mindset will change from a solo zerg one to a team oriented one.

Alright, excuse me and my corpse jumping this morning then. Apologies.
As for reading through, yes, in comparison to when I used to lead a year and a half ago (with the likes of Leon, Kriptic, Bugzappa etc. still around), there has certainly been a drop in teamwork and focus fire. I can tell. But I'm trying to remedy that with every raid. Even just this morning, for example at the the open field at cot which you were involved in, we combined the balance of surviability (aoe) and dps, (focus fire) which yeilded results against even numbers.
The other night was purely my fault, I don't blame anyone else but myself.

Re: Vanguard
just cause the map is red or blue doesnt mean there aren't raids running around or large fights to be had. Laugh all you want. Freeps raid up during blue maps too. Just make you look naive
How did this turn from a Vanguard post to a Pvp war regarding Freep and Creep leaders? There is a learning curve whenever you come back from a extended break and try to lead. From both the leader's perspective and the group you are leading(especially if they are leaderless for a while) discipline needs to be reworked and build..trust, and tactics with the changes that are made, etc. A little more discipline and focus and things will start hurting creeps a bit more.

Re: Vanguard
For some time ive revised the forums and the looks of them are not at all alarming. I already saw this coming. I am no way a keep flipper. Pve is not my thing. For all else, all i do is use the keeps as my defensice tactics. When we are outnumbered, when there is nothing but to be camped at gv, i sneak into a keep and take it. There is one thing to use a keep as a defensive strategy and another very different is to go all crazy and start flipping keeps like theres no tommorrow. LC for example is a keep i wouldnt even take for the lack of protection there is from it. Therefore ive changed my tactics for the past month or so. The idea is to introduce as better more fundamental open field fight like everyone expects. Ive scouted areas, gotten to know some relly good fighting areas within. Overall my change in tactics is only on the basis that it just doesnt work. It worked before U6 but long now ive realized that a new projection needs to be put in place. Therefore youll be seeing much more coordination from my part in the up coming week (april vacation) and further on. I am seeking consul with new ideas from many raid leaders who have discussed how to focus targets much easier, decrease lag now a days and much more that can then yield to the basics of open field fights. Thank you if you read this and thats all i have to say on this matter.

Re: Vanguard
Long story short...
Original 3 'FireFighters' were 3 actual firefighters that played a game called "Delta Force." Name (FireFighters aka *FF) appeared in late 1998. Name stuck around. Our first kin leader Maverick and several others (Titaniumfox, Vandal, Kansas to name a few) all knew each other from Delta Force, Delta Force 2, and/or a few of the CoD games.
A few of them created an *FF group in LotRO right after launch in 2007. It didn't last back then. Two years later in 2009 the conditions were right to form a new iteration of *FF. This is the *FF that carried on until two weeks ago, and all existing *FF in LotRO now play under the name Vanguard. Reasons for the name change are our own.
Within the game/interwebz we are all gaming friends. Some of us step beyond that and have met outside of the game. Our inbred nature brings deformities (ask Kriptic about drunk-dialing Mav to inquire about raiding over Christmas vacation) as well as beauty spots (ask Meraithe about our "An*l Friday 'Moors Nights").
I, however, am the bleating black sheep. My role is to bring dishonor and petty judgment against us through my actions in the 'Moors. In this endeavor I am effective.
@ Krista, it brings a smile to my pale girlish face that you never liked our old name. We subsist off of your misdirected QQ.

Re: Vanguard
I learned the hard way alek. I learned that when there's 2 massive raids out the space lc has to offer may see suitable but also vyxe taught me a valuable lesson and that is keeps won't stop him from rushing in lc and basically running in and out the other way basically proving that lc is not reliable and it would take an awful lot of manipulation on my hand to control such area to my own will. In an event where a keep is necessary for defense, I would not use LC unless I was given enough time to plan the inc. of the creeps into the keep. I'm still planing out strategies and you may have a different view on it alek. I will gladly take your input into consideration

Testimonies: Prostate Cancer |
"I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (advanced stages) 1 ½ years ago. After undergoing the Doctor's prescribed program of Hormone Therapy my PSA rose to 95 after it had been reduced to 15.7. My Pastor told me about the Healing Rooms Ministry. We made a 90 mile trip to the Austin Healing Rooms, and received prayer, and I claimed God's Healing Power. I know that God healed my cancer that night. I did go back for prayer several more times before my next Doctor's appointment. The next time they checked my PSA, it had fallen to 31.7, and the Doctor had a hard time finding my prostate because it had shrunk so much. Thank you Austin Healing Rooms for your ministry of our Lord and Savior." - Bruce on July 16th, 2012 | |
"NO MORE PROSTATE CANCER!! PRAISE THE LORD August of 2011 my PSA rose from 4.0 at the beginning of the year to 6.5. My doctor suggested a biopsy. Appointment was made a couple of months later. The urologist had another blood test and PSA increased to 8.9. A biopsy was done with results of moderate to aggressive cancer in all sections tested. An appointment was made with a radiologist to prepare for treatment.I went forward at our church for prayer regarding this appointment in December. The couple who prayed are part of the Conejo Valley Healing Rooms. A C.T. scan was done to get the exact location of the cancer. This is the second time I was diagnosed with cancer. The first time, God used the hands and the heart of a young doctor that cared more for the patient than his personal record, since I was told by several doctors, it was useless to operate, to go after the tumor. Nothing could be done. Guess what! It's been almost 10 years and the lung cancer has not returned. Praise the Lord! This time the doctor could not find any cancer in the C.T. XRAYS. He couldn't believe it, so he ordered a P.E.T. Scan. Which picks up only the cancer. God did it Himself this time. I do not have cancer. Another Miracle. I've been a part of many. GOD answers pralyers. I have many to thank for their prayers." - Andy A. on April 29th, 2012 | |
"When I first went to the Springfield Healing Rooms the Doctors had told me my PSA # was 37 and that I had Prostate Cancer, after going every 2 weeks for 3 months, the doctors said my PSA # had dropped to 3.5 which is normal, The lord had healed me" - Joe Z. on June 30th, 2011 | |
"When I first came to God's Grace Healing Rooms, I was dying of terminal, stage 4 Cancer. When I received prayer all pain from the cancer left my body and I was able to stop taking pain medication. I knew that day that I had been healed. I came for prayer several more times and they continued to speak healing over me. At my last doctor's visit, my surgeon could find no tumors and my oncologist could find no tumors. I have not had any more chemo treatments. My strength and energy has returned. I am cured of cancer. My doctors believe so too. They believe it was a miracle. God hears our prayers and He answers. Have faith and believe and He will come to you and cure you." - Ron H. on April 9th, 2011 | |
"I stood in for my brother and was prayed for a month or so ago. He was diagnosed with prostate cncer and the doctors said it had spread. He was to have surgery the following day. The team prayed for him and God revealed to them that the cancer was isolated to the prostate and that my brother would have a complete recovery. When the doctors got in there they were amazed that the cancer was isolated to the prostate only and there was no sign of any spreading. He does not have to have Chemo or any further treatment. Praise God!" - Karen R. on November 3rd, 2010 | |

Deforestation Environment Advocate Environmentalist Soil Erosion Reform Degradation Malnutrition
Throughout Africa (as in much of the world) women hold primary responsibility for tilling the fields, deciding what to plant, nurturing the crops, and harvesting the food. They are the first to become aware of environmental damage that harms agricultural production: If the well goes dry, they are the ones concerned about finding new sources of water and those who must walk long distances to fetch it. As mothers, they notice when the food they feed their family is tainted with pollutants or impurities: they can see it in the tears of their children and hear it in their babies' cries. Wangari Maathai, Kenya's foremost environmentalist and women's rights advocate, founded the Green Belt Movement on Earth Day 1977, encouraging the farmers (70 percent of whom are women) to plant "greenbelts" to stop soil erosion, provide shade, and create a source of lumber and firewood. She distributed seedlings to rural women and set up an incentive system for each seedling that survived. To date, the movement has planted over fifteen million trees, produced income for eighty thousand people in Kenya alone, and has expanded its efforts to over thirty African countries, the United States, and Haiti. Maathai won the Africa Prize for her work in preventing hunger, and was heralded by the Kenyan government and controlled press as an exemplary citizen. A few years later, when Maathai denounced President Daniel arap Moi's proposal to erect a sixty-two-story skyscraper in the middle of Nairobi's largest park (graced by a four-story statue of Moi himself), officials warned her to curtail her criticism. When she took her campaign public, she was visited by security forces. When she still refused to be silenced, she was subjected to a harassment campaign and threats. Members of parliament denounced Maathai, dismissing her organization as "a bunch of divorcees." The government-run newspaper questioned her sexual past, and police detained and interrogated her, without ever pressing charges. Eventually Moi was forced to forego the project, in large measure because of the pressure Maathai successfully generated. Years later, when she returned to the park to lead a rally on behalf of political prisoners, Maathai was hospitalized after pro-government thugs beat her and other women protesters. Following the incident, Moi's ruling party parliamentarians threatened to mutilate her genitals in order to force Maathai to behave "like women should." But Wangari Maathai was more determined than ever, and today continues her work for environmental protection, women's rights, and democratic reform. From one seedling, an organization for empowerment and political participation has grown many strong branches. In 2004 Maathai received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her efforts.
In 2005, Maathai was selected to preside over the African Union's Economic, Social and Cultural Council. She was named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine and one of the 100 most powerful women by Forbes magazine. She was honored in 2006 with the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest award. Wangari Maathai died in September 2011 while undergoing cancer treatment at the age of 71.

In a letter to Scotland County Board of Commissioners Chairman Guy McCook, the Local Government Commission made note of progress made by the county in "a number of areas" during the previous fiscal year.
Dated Feb. 11, 2013, the letter was presented by County Manager Kevin Patterson at the board's Monday meeting.
Signed by Sharon Edmundson, director of the LGC's Fiscal Management Section, the letter started by commending the county's "governing board, staff and citizens" for increasing the fund balance in the general fund by $823,529.
That increase, according to Edmundson, reflected "lower expenditures compared to the prior year as well as expenditures less than appropriations in the current year."
Edmundson's praise was accompanied by a word of warning for the county, which she wrote "still has serious financial problems."
As of June 30, 2012 the county's available fund balance was $3,562,671, or 9.81 percent – up from 6.72 percent during the preceding year.
"However, your county could still experience sudden cash flow problems if unanticipated expenditures arise or revenues decrease," Edmundson advised.
In her letter, Edmundson went on to encourage the county to increase its general fund reserves, noting that the fund balance average in "comparably sized" counties was 26.24 percent.
"That would mean that (Scotland County's general fund balance) would need to be around $12 million," Patterson told the commissioners Monday evening.
Commissioner John Alford said on Monday that he refused to support any effort to see the county reach available fund balance levels in the 25 percent range.
"I could never support carrying that much fund balance with us having the highest tax rate in the state," Alford said.
"I would certainly agree with John," said Commissioner John Cooley. Adding that he had concerns about "someone in the inner belt line in Raleigh making recommendations for Scotland County.
"(25 percent in available fund balance) is not practical for us at all," Cooley said.
It was also noted by Commissioner Clarence McPhatter that Scotland County carries a unique financial burden which may preclude it from achieving a drastically greater available fund balance in the near future.
"We are the only county left with a school floor in the state," McPhatter said.
In a response letter dated February 21, Patterson said that the county commissioners share Edmundson's concerns.
"This is why in creating this year's budget the board further reduced budgeted revenues and expenditures."
In an effort to firm up its financial footing, Patterson informed Edmundson that the county also increased its tax rate to meet "unexpected capital needs in the school system."
Calling the expansion of the general fund a "primary concern" for the commissioners, Patterson also noted the recently reported good news that sales and property tax collections were collectively "exceeding budgeted levels."
Blackwell praised
Though he was not in attendance, retiring County Engineer and Planning Director Jim Blackwell was praised for his work with the county by McCook. The chairman said that Blackwell's oversight was integral to a number of major county projects, including the development of the modern water system and the county recycling center system.
In other business, it appears the long overdue replacement of the roof at the county's West Covington Street administration building will finally get underway in 2013 after the commissioners approved a bid for the work.
For several years now county employees housed in the building have fought to find and stop water damage during rain showers, and there are a number of discolored, water damaged and mildew ridden areas inside the building because of the chronic problem.
According to Public Buildings Supervisor Mike McGirt, locally-based Thames Construction came back with the most competitive bid, at $128,900 for the work.
$160,000 was initially budgeted.
"Being that Mr. Thames is local and being that he is a taxpayer here I move that we accept the bid," McPhatter said.
Because several bids were "significantly" greater, there was some concern among the commissioners that the bids were not all for the same work. According to McGirt, one bid was for $341,000.
McGirt reported that all of the competing contractors attending a "scope of work" discussion and simultaneously examined the building.
"And we had the mandatory pre-bid process … because we wanted to make sure we were comparing apples to apples."

Latest Reviews for Gemstone Bracelets
Unfortunately the clasp was broken and bracelet was lost the first day my mother wore it. Unfortunately she told me that it was coming undone after several attempts to secure it. She planned to take it off, but before she did it must have fallen off. So it turned into a disaster.
The stones are beautiful and evenly colored a rich purple. The bracelet fits well and is comfortable to wear. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is the clasp is a bit stiff and somewhat difficult to release without help. Otherwise, a great bracelet.
I think this is a beautiful bracelet but I think it is a little small for most peoples wrist. I bought this for my niece who happens to be tiny so it won't be a problem, but I would keep in mind who you're purchasing this item for.
Nice item but no way to size it without the additional expense of having a jeweler cut and braze it.

Bridgewater Bets On Insurers, Brazil
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest and best-performing hedge funds, bet on U.S. insurance company stocks and a fund that tracks Brazilian stocks in the second quarter, according to Bloomberg data based on a 13F filing released Friday.
Though Bridgewater manages some $120 billion in assets, it has just $6.7 billion in U.S.-listed stocks, according to the Bloomberg data. The bulk of that is in broad-based exchange-traded funds that track U.S. and emerging-market stocks. Bridgewater's top three holdings, totaling nearly 80% of its U.S.-listed stock portfolio, are three exchange-traded funds, the SPDR S&P 500(SPY) , Vanguard MSCI Emerging Market(VWO) and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index(EEM) .
While individual company bets are comparatively small, insurers stood out.
Bridgewater, managed by investor Ray Dalio, increased its stake in MetLife(MET) to $15 million, making the life insurer its largest holding among U.S.-listed financial sector stocks. It also added to stakes in Hartford Financial Services Group(HIG) , Prudential Financial (PRU) and AFLAC(AFL) .
Bridgewater also established new positions in Unum Group(UNM) , XL Group(xl) , Allstate(ALL) , ACE LTD(ACE) , Marsh & Mclennan(MMC) and Lincoln National(LNC) .
It did not decrease its stake in any insurers, though it did sell out of small stakes in Principal Financial Group (PFG) , Genworth Financial(GNW) and Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B) .
Bridgewater's biggest single new purchase was a $103.5 million stake in iShares Brazil(EWZ) , followed by a $12.23 million stake in Cliffs Natural Resources(CLF) .

It was one of those rare moments when you know before you take the shot that it's a worthy shot that must be witnessed by others.

%e actually gives you the day of the month, with a space instead of a 0.
%l give you the hours of the day with a space instead of zero.
%g gives you the last two digits of the year 2-digit year (00-99)

Led by Jasmine Murchison's monster 24-point, eight-rebound effort in the post, Red Springs took a commanding lead in the third quarter and didn't look back, beating the Lady Gators, 46-36.
Red Springs (7-12, 2-5) remains in fifth place in the Three Rivers, two games back of South Robeson, Fairmont and St. Pauls who are all in a three-way tie for second.
Pirates, Rams drop SEC road games
RAEFORD — Paced by four players in double figures and a quick scoring outburst midway through the second quarter, Hoke's boys basketball team ran its Southeastern Conference unbeaten streak to seven Tuesday with an 81-63 home win over Lumberton.
Reigning SEC Player of the Year Tarique Thompson scored a game-high 18 points for the Bucks (18-2, 7-0) to offset Montrae Strother's 16-point, four-assist tally for the Pirates (7-13, 2-5). Lumberton needs to win at least two of its final three games and likely one in the conference tournament to qualify for the 4A postseason.
"We've got our work cut out for us, but I like the way we're playing defensively," Lumberton coach Mackey Register said. "If we can win Friday night at Richmond, we've got a chance."
In Rockingham, Purnell Swett's road woes continued this season following an 81-56 loss to Richmond, the SEC's second-place team.
The Raiders (15-5, 5-2) jumped out to a 17-point lead after the first quarter and pushed ahead 51-23 at intermission. Senior forward Mitchell Hill was Swett's only player in double figures finishing with 13 points.
Lumberton's girls hold on
RAEFORD — It's not easy being the hunted and Lumberton's girls nearly found that out the hard way on the road in Raeford. After beating Hoke by 35 at Lumberton last month, the Lady Pirates clawed their way back from an early 11-point deficit and held on for a 52-45 victory, staying out front in the Southeastern Conference.
Keanna McNeill led the way with 22 points while Aliyah Ratley tallied 15 points and six steals. Lumberton (16-4, 6-1) is three wins away from a regular-season league crown.
Baker leads Devils to OT win
RED SPRINGS — Glenn Patterson has been waiting patiently for Jameson Baker to break out of a season-long scoring slump and over the last two games, it appears he has found his touch.
Fueled by a season-high 30 from the junior guard, Red Springs beat East Columbus in overtime Tuesday night, 66-57. Senior forward Quinn Lowery chipped in with 20.
"It looks like Jameson is getting into a groove and settling down a bit," Patterson said.
Fairmont sweeps Vikings
CERRO GORDO — Double-doubles from Kwinton Hinson and Na'Jewell Ingram helped Fairmont's boys and girls' basketball teams sweep West Columbus Tuesday night in Cerro Gordo, 80-63 and 57-44.
Fairmont (18-3, 7-0) grabbed some breathing room early in the fourth quarter and went on to win its 35th consecutive Three Rivers Conference game. Hinson finished with 27 and 10 while Charlton Townsend, playing in just his fourth game back from injury, had a season-high 11 points and 10 rebounds.
In the girls contest, Ingram pulled down 17 rebounds to go along with a game-high 26 points.
Canady stays hot for St. Pauls
ROWLAND — Dustin Canady hits five 3-pointers and scored 19 points Tuesday night as St. Pauls continued its wining streak post-Fairmont with a 64-52 win at South Robeson.
The Bulldogs (14-6, 6-1) coasted to their third straight victory with a balanced scoring attack. Malik Livingston scored 19 while Deion Gilchrist chipped in with 11.
"Dustin is playing in games like the way he's playing in practice," St. Pauls coach Travis Lemanski said. "He's been shooting the ball well and you can tell he's playing witconfidence."

Laparotomy for Pelvic Problems
Topic Overview
A laparotomy is a surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to visually inspect the abdominal cavity through an incision in the abdomen. Laparotomy may be used in the diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic conditions such as Reference pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Opens New Window, Reference endometriosis Opens New Window, Reference uterine fibroids Opens New Window, Reference ovarian cysts Opens New Window, and Reference ectopic pregnancy Opens New Window. Laparotomy is usually done under Reference general anesthesia Opens New Window.
Laparotomy is most often done:
- When a life-threatening condition is present, such as Reference appendicitis Opens New Window or Reference ectopic pregnancy Opens New Window, that requires immediate surgery.
- When scarring (Reference adhesions Opens New Window) or abnormal conditions make it difficult to use Reference laparoscopy Opens New Window to see inside the abdomen.
- For diagnosis of pelvic symptoms; treatment can be done at the same time.
For PID, laparotomy is not done as often as laparoscopy, which requires special equipment and training. But laparotomy is done if a hospital is not equipped for laparoscopy, or if another problem is suspected, such as a ruptured appendix.
The hospital or surgery center may send you instructions on how to get ready for your surgery or a nurse may call you with instructions before your surgery.
Right after surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where nurses will care for and observe you. You most likely will stay in the recovery area for 1 to 4 hours, and then you will be moved to a hospital room. In addition to any special instructions from your doctor, your nurse will explain information to help you during your recovery.

Gutters are comprised of many different types of materials, such as zinc, copper, Zincalume, aluminum alloys, PVC, and Colorbond steel. A roof plumber, a roofing specialist, or other professional can help you figure out which material would be better suited for the roof of your home.
As well, there are all different kinds of gutters, including but not limited to the following:
* Half round gutters: these gutters will not typically collect as much waste and debris as certain other types of gutters, and they tend to empty themselves much more quickly as well. They can carry a larger amount of water. They are good for modern, Tuscan, and Spanish houses.
* Quad gutters: these gutters are very adaptable to all kinds of situations and all kinds of styles of houses, such as cottage and colonial. They are good for new homes as well and are available in two different sizes: 115 millimeter and 125 millimeter.
* Square fronted gutters: these gutters are made to hide the very ends of the roof sheets and, as such, include slots which are designed to make the water flow more freely during the heavy rains.
* Smooth line gutters: these gutters are much like the half round ones, except that they are flat backed and typically used to fix internal brackets.
When having gutters installed, you need to make sure that you hire a professional roof plumber who is fully licensed, trained, and qualified. This will make sure that the plumbing for your roof will work correctly, meaning that the water flows the way it is supposed to no matter how much rain falls. With holding tanks, the amount of water collected will be maximized. A certified roof plumber will always take into account the pitch and the size of your roof, as well as the material with which it is made. All of this will be considered as the drainage system is designed.

In 1993, Helen Hayes, the "First Lady of the American Theater," died in Nyack, N.Y., at age 92.

Mama's Gun
CD (Item 486791) Universal, 2000 — Condition: Used
Great stuff from Eryka Badu – sweet, mellow, soulful, and with a very righteous vibe! The record's got some impeccable production – and the best cuts have a stripped-down groove that mixes keyboards and vocals in a way that's similar to recent work by D'Angelo and Jill Scott. Eryka's all her own woman, though – and she keeps things very real with her own unique vocal style and phrasing on the lyrics. Loads of great tracks – and titles include "Kiss Me On My Neck", "Didn't Cha Know", "My Life", "AD 2000", "Bag Lady", "In Love With You", and "Booty". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I was wondering if someone could describe how to implement this or maybe or point me to documentation on the subject.
Doing this in EJB was quite simple, just implement SessionSynchronization in your Session bean and container will call afterBegin() beforeCompletion() callback metionds.
So far I am unable to implement the same in Spring.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark-colored, structured, elegant 1998 Barolo Costa Grimaldi offers purity and harmony allied with power, density, and extract. While relatively seamless for such a young Einaudi Barolo, there is plenty of tannin underneath the glycerin and fruit. I suspect it is only a matter of time before..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberries, cherries and vanilla aromas with hints of fresh mushrooms. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a beautifully balanced palate of ripe fruit and cedar. Best after 2007. "
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Cicala is another serious, austere Barolo that is tightly wound at this stage. Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes..

In an hour-long address focused tightly on domestic issues, Obama also announced that he will bring home 34,000 American troops from Afghanistan over the next year, cutting thee U.S. force level there by almost half.
The U.S. mission in Afghanistan concludes at the end of 2014, and Obama intends to keep only a small force there for training and counter-terrorism beyond that date. "After a decade of grinding war," the president said, "our men and women in uniform are coming home."
The speech, interrupted repeatedly with raucous and sometimes strictly partisan applause, was Obama's fourth State of the Union address. He used the annual ritual to attempt to turn the page on a first term preoccupied with winding down two wars and working to repair a badly damaged economy.
"We have cleared away the rubble of crisis," he said, "and can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is stronger."
Throughout the speech, however, was a warning that the nation's progress, which he repeatedly called "unfinished," is in peril unless Obama and Congress can work together on the economy's behalf.
"We gather here knowing that there are millions of Americans whose hard work and dedication have not yet been rewarded," he said. "It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class."
Economic progress has been halting since he took office, and he spoke Tuesday with the looming threat to the economy of automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration, just a little over two weeks away.
Obama and Congressional leaders have been unable to reach agreement on how to avert the cuts, which the president warned Tuesday would fall hardest on those who can least afford them.
He called for "bipartisan, comprehensive tax reform," and emphasized that his proposals would not add to the $854 billion deficit, only re-allocate money already in the budget to finance them.
"But let's be clear: Deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan," Obama said. "A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs — that must be the North Star that guides our efforts."
Unlike his second inaugural address last month, when liberal social issues defined much of his message, Obama spoke directly Tuesday to a prime-time television audience about what he believes must be done to improve the economy and prepare the next generation of workers for the jobs it is creating.
He will take his message on the road over the next few days, visiting North Carolina, Georgia and Illinois to discuss various economic proposals.
The proposals range from spending $40 billion to upgrade bridges to starting a fund, known as the Energy Security Trust, responsible for researching ways for more American cars and trucks to run on cleaner fuels.
When Obama spoke Tuesday about immigration legislation, gun control and climate change — issues that rank high on his domestic agenda — he did so by connecting them directly to the American economy.
He called on Americans to cut in half the energy wasted by homes and businesses in the next two decades, something that would benefit the environment as well as the economy. Green jobs, he argued, will be the ones helping drive future employment growth.
