Bad Sides - Repetion and Easy to Play
A long time fan of the SSX series, I have been waiting for this game with much anticipation. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. Beautiful environments, solid design and an array of some of the best tricks ever seen in a sport game, this is amazing. Multiplayer is fun, and an awesome way to rack up huge scores on runs and then challenge the world to beat them. The different types of events are also phenomenal, such as Wingsuiting, Whiteouts, Avalanches etc. Definitely a game worth buying.

Visuals : Pretty top notch though not the best ive come across. But does a great job of maintaining frame rates.
Gameplay : If you are overdosed on FPS games like me, i would HIGHLY recommend that you give this game a try. Even on its own this game is a total blast, but after a long spell of shooters, this is just the thing to get you energised and excited about other types o... (Expand)

A new contract for a small band of unionized industry regulators, locked out until last week, literally prompted standing ovations around the country.
So, National Football League Referees Association, got any lessons to pass along to public employees?
Public unions have a PR problem. Until a few weeks ago, NFL refs were like many government employees: largely unnoticed, occasionally booed.
Then a blown call by replacement officials last month handed the Green Bay Packers an undeserved loss at the end of a nationally televised game. A public outcry followed for the league to get the regular refs back on the field.
Two days later, the NFL and the union cut a deal that raises the refs' pay over seven years from the current average of $149,000 per year to $205,000, phases out traditional pensions for current refs and brings new hires in under a 401(k) plan. And the refs are part-timers.
The deal highlights how relatively little the public cares about what unionized private industry employees earn. Who cares what the referees get paid? Most games still sell out, and you can choose whether to buy the ticket.
"But the perception of public employee compensation is, 'These are my taxes,' " said Ken Mayer, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. " 'I don't have a choice whether to consume.' "
A sensational visual aid helps. "The league thought it could get by with replacements," Mayer said. "It's not true. That (Packers) game made it obvious."
Public employee labor groups often argue that nonunion replacements private contractors, charter school teachers and the like lack the skill, experience or commitment of unionized civil servants.
The difference, however, is the government's lack of instant replay. It's not always "obvious" why a program gets off track or succeeds, or whether different workers would perform better or worse.
That's at the core of arguments over everything from charter schools to privatized prisons. Unlike the clearly blown Packers call, it's not obvious which side is right. So unions will always have to spend resources debating that judgment call.
The pension fight is everywhere. Why was a $9 billion league willing to lock out 121 refs whose total pay and benefits cost between $3 million and $5 million per year?
"The biggest issue was pensions," Mayer said. "The owners don't like them. It wasn't the money. It was the symbolism."
The new deal caps the 121 current refs' defined benefit pensions at 20 years of service. After that, they fall under a self-managed 401(k) plan. Future hires will go straight into a 401(k).
The NFL is wildly successful, yet it's dumping traditional employee pensions. Public-sector unions want to escape the trend, but the refs' deal reveals that the social and political pressure in that direction will continue as government budgets continue to struggle.

I began writing, because I was attracted to picture books and their unique way of transforming static words into fascinating, colorful worlds. At the time, I was working in architecture, which offered the dream of creating worlds, but on a more restricted scale. All along I took photographs as a way of studying architecture, often focusing on the evocative and romantic qualities of my subjects. The textured stonework of a castle or the faded dignity of a crumbling ancient wall seemed like well-worn palimpsests daring me to uncover their secret stories. After many years, I realized that the story, not the architecture, was my real interest. Both my photography and my writing, often inspired by architecture, allow me to create new worlds through light and words. I invite you now to enter the space of my words and photographs, to discover and explore new worlds. Perhaps, I am creating architecture, after all.

How to Connect a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 to a TV With an HDMI
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 records videos and takes pictures, but it's tough to share your content with others on a small screen. You can entertain your family, friends and guests by connecting your Tab to a high-definition TV. To make the connection, you'll need to hook your device to the Galaxy Tab HDTV adapter. The device works with any TV that has an HDMI port. Only the 10-inch Galaxy Tab 2 supports the adapter, however. The adapter doesn't work with the 7-inch version of the tablet, because it does not support HDMI output.
How to Watch Movies on TV With An iPod Touch
There are three different ways to play movies from an iPod Touch or other Apple iOS device to an HD TV. If you have an Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to transfer audio and video over a Wi-Fi network. If you don't have an Apple TV you can use a third-party app like iMediaShare to play movies from the app to a Wi-Fi connected TV. For anyone without Wi-Fi, you can connect an iPod Touch to the HDMI port on a TV using an adapter cable.
How to Hook Up Sharp Aquos to the Internet Wirelessly
Sharp Aquos TVs that include an integrated wireless adapter can connect to your home's wireless network. This feature enables you to access Aquos Advantage Live, which provides remote assistance to test settings and properly configure your TV. A wireless connection also provides Internet access for streaming content or accessing a multitude of Internet applications. Many modern routers support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that automates the connection process, but you can manually enter connection details as well.
Smart vs. Internet-Ready TVs
By 2016, it's expected that 100 million TV sets in North America will be connected to the Internet. As technology advances, product descriptions and marketing terms change in order to describe new features and capabilities. "Internet-ready" generally refers to any TV that has an Ethernet port. Smart TVs take this up a level with software and apps for accessing the Internet. Today, both terms are nearly synonymous as nearly all Internet TVs can be smart. Even if your TV doesn't have a direct Internet connection, you can still use it to surf the Web by connecting it to third-party appliances, or even a computer.

How to Aim a Sony DSS Dish
After mounting a Sony DSS satellite dish, you'll need to aim the dish antenna accurately to align it with the broadcast satellite and receive the satellite TV signal. The Sony DSS system comes with an onscreen location-finder and signal strength meter that will help you to aim the dish precisely, but you should ask a friend, neighbor or family member to help you by reading out the signal strength information from the TV screen while you're outside refining the aim of the Sony DSS dish. To watch digital-satellite TV programming after installing and aligning the dish, you need a subscription to a satellite provider with a viewing card to unscramble the signal.
How to Connect a TV to a Wireless Network
Connecting an Internet-enabled television set to your wireless network can open up a whole new world of entertainment and useful content without the need to hard-wire the set to your router with an Ethernet cable. Most Internet TV sets come with a range of apps for accessing online content, including YouTube, Facebook and video-on-demand services. Premium "smart" TV sets usually come with an integrated Wi-Fi adapter that detects and connects to your home wireless network. On basic or older Internet-ready TV sets, you may be able to use a wireless adapter that plugs into the network port to hook up the set to your Wi-Fi network. Connecting your TV set to a wireless network also helps to keep the set up-to-date with the latest firmware and software that controls how your TV set operates. Manufacturers occasionally release online software updates to fix bugs and offer additional functions.
What Is the Difference Between 60Hz and 120Hz HD LCD TVs?
As high definition LCD televisions progress to ever-increasing levels of video quality and detail, manufacturers have to find other ways to improve images beyond sharpness and color accuracy. Increasing refresh rates from the original 60 Hertz to 120 Hertz smooths jerkiness commonly seen on quickly moving on-screen objects, known as judder. Removal of these anomalies is touted as an important feature by manufacturers, but may not make or break overall video quality in every case.
How to Program a Vizio Remote Control
If using separate remote control handsets for each of your TV and audio-visual devices leaves you fumbling to find the correct handset each time you want to change a channel, adjust the volume or record your favorite show, you might want to program your Vizio universal remote control handset to operate all your equipment. The Vizio universal remote works automatically with your TV, and you can also program it with the correct remote code to operate your cable TV set-top box and DVD recorder/player. The Vizio remote control also works with any home theater audio system, audio receiver or amplifier connected to your TV set. Although there's no separate button on the Vizio remote handset for a VCR, you can program one of the other device buttons to work with your VCR if you're not using one of those devices.
Plasma Vs. LED TVs
If you're considering the purchase of a high-definition TV, there are two families of display technology on the market: plasma and LED/LCD displays. Both offer superb image quality. Other factors you should consider include brightness, viewing angle, cost to purchase, size and energy efficiency.
How to Program a Dish Network Remote Control to Operate Your TV
The remote control handset for your Dish Network satellite TV receiver can act as a universal remote control that will also operate certain functions on your TV set, including the volume control and changing channels. To program your Dish Network remote handset to control your TV set, point the remote at the TV set, and then enter the correct three- or four-digit remote code.
How to Buy an LCD TV
There has never been as many options when it comes to choosing a TV set that is right for you. Determining exactly what you need and then testing the set before purchase is essential to ensure you don't waste your money. LCD TVs are the most common form of display technology, which allows slimline set designs with a variety of different-sized screens and resolutions. Understanding the available options and comparing them to your needs will help you to make an informed choice when it comes time to buy a new TV.
How to Use a TV as a Monitor for a Laptop
In the early days of laptops, the machines were little more than advanced word processors or calculators that also allowed owners to play simple games. As years passed, though, the laptop has not only shown it is capable of performing more advanced computing tasks but also that it can replace many commonly used media and entertainment devices such as stereo systems, game consoles and even televisions. While a laptop allows you to do many productive and entertaining things, the relatively small size of most notebook displays may make the computing experience less than it might be if you used the larger screen on your television. Modern laptops allow you to enhance your computing experience by connecting the notebook to your TV to view applications, games and movies in a larger format.
How to Upgrade a Samsung TV
Samsung builds many advanced features into its line of high-definition televisions. However, one of the most useful features on many Samsung HDTVs is the ability to add even more functionality to the unit via a firmware upgrade. The software that controls the TV, allowing you to customize audio and display on the television as well as configure input and output options, is called firmware. Firmware upgrades often contain tweaks to current features and may add extra functionality or input support. Additionally, firmware upgrades can help fix bugs in the software on your TV that prevent use of some features or keep them from working properly.
How to Buy Replacement TV Remote Controls
It's highly likely that every audio or theater component in your home operates via remote control. Given the high levels of use these remotes are exposed to, it follows that one or more might need replacement. When faced with this, you have the choice of simply replacing that device's controller or going the universal remote route. This decision is based primarily on cost and comfort level.
How to Buy Plasma TV Accessories
Your new plasma television is capable of incredible details and color, making the most from Blu-ray and high definition broadcast sources. However, you need to connect the new set to your other components, mount it on the wall or a stand and protect it from surges. It's always important to examine the peripheral items required when purchasing a new plasma, especially if this is your first flat panel TV.
How to Get High Speed Internet Access in Rural Areas
Whether you live in the country because you like the privacy or you're running a family farm, you don't want to sacrifice Internet access just because you're located outside the reach of wired data connections. Even if you can get dial-up service, its speeds -- or, more accurately, lack of them -- place drastic restrictions on what you can view or download. As software companies increasingly provide all their updates via downloaded files and video content forms a larger part of your online experience, you need a broadband connection to use the Internet. Look beyond wired services for your connection options.
How to Clean a Flat Screen TV
Your flat screen television will require periodic cleaning to ensure that it stays in good working order. Flat screen TVs gather dust particles and lint, and will readily show oil-based soil such as fingerprints and grease stains. Older TVs were easy to clean because they were covered with thick glass screens, but modern flat screen TVs cannot be subjected to regular household cleaning as they have easily damaged, thin, sensitive screens. You can keep most flat screen TVs dust free by cleaning with a soft cloth and compressed air, but some require special cleaning solutions.
How to Hook Up a TV to a Laptop
Laptops are designed for portability, while most television sets are designed with size and image clarity in mind. Hooking up your laptop to a TV lets you use the TV as an external monitor for presentations or to view your stored video content on the big screen. HDTVs have two display adapter types, HDMI -- the most common -- which transports audio and video signals together, and DVI, which only transports video. Laptops may come with DVI, HDMI, MiniDVI, MiniHDMI, DisplayPort or MiniDisplayPort outputs, depending on the make and model. If your laptop does not have the same port type as your television, you need to use the appropriate adapter to connect the two. If your laptop has a DVI port, you also need a 3.5mm audio cable to make the sound play through your TV's speaker system.
How to Program RCA TV Remotes
Your RCA universal remote control pairs with your TV via a special code entered into the remote. Programming this code uses one of four methods. The direct code entry method is potentially the fastest, but it requires you to manually find the listed code for your device. If you cannot find the code, RCA incorporates three search methods. The manual and automatic code search methods search through all possible codes, so these methods may take considerable time. If you can find your TV brand in the manual, you can significantly reduce search times by limiting the search to blocks of code related to your TV brand. This method is quick enough that RCA recommends trying it first.
How to Compare LED and LCD TVs
Television replacement has taken on a speed comparable to computer upgrades. The rapid pace of advancement has created a profusion of options for HDTVs and a lot of confusing marketing pitches. One that can be clarified easily is the basic display technology comparing LCD to LED HDTVs.
How Can I Update My LG TV Firmware?
LG issues periodic updates to the firmware for different TV models. Firmware updates correct problems, enhance existing features and sometimes provide new features. You can update your LG TV firmware by navigating to the LG support site, downloading the firmware to a USB drive and installing it on your TV from the USB drive. If you have a network-enabled TV, you can choose to update your firmware automatically when updates become available.
How to Turn on Subtitles on a Sony LCD Bravia
Sony Bravia LCD TVs integrate a closed captioning feature in compliance with U.S. Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations. This regulation requires all digital televisions over a minimum size and produced after July 1, 2002 to contain circuitry for decoding closed captioning broadcasts. These closed captions display subtitled transcriptions of spoken words and sound effects. This feature assists hearing impaired viewers, but it is also useful when the Bravia's sound is muted. The quickest way to turn on subtitles is with the remote control, but Sony also integrated this feature into its menu settings.
How to Add Movies to iTunes
The versatile iTunes software can store movies, videos or television shows that you purchase or rent through the iTunes Store. ITunes can also import homemade movies and videos from your personal collection. After downloading or importing the movies into your iTunes library, you can drag and drop them to your video-enabled mobile device or perform a sync so the new files are uploaded to your mobile device.
How to Turn Off the Startup Sound on a Sony Bravia TV
Sony has a longstanding reputation for producing high-quality, innovative consumer electronics devices, and its Bravia line of LCD televisions is no exception. Sony Bravia TVs have won numerous design and performance awards all over the world and received many favorable reviews from experts and consumers alike. However, one complaint frequently voiced by owners is the loud startup tone they hear when powering on a Bravia. If you have a Bravia TV and don't want to hear the startup tone, disabling it is relatively simple in most cases.
How to Compare Satellite Dishes
Finding the best deal in satellite TV service is not just about the package or the money. Dish Network, for instance, offers seven options, from the basic 55-channel lineup to the more than 320-channel America's Everything Pak. However, beyond the number of channels, each provider has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to service, installation, hardware, repair and replacement policies, and the cost of cancelation. To find the best deal, first determine your preferences, such as children's programming, sports, movies or a little bit of everything.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Waukee, IA (CNN) - Shoppers in an Iowa grocery store got more than they expected in the produce aisle Monday April 21.We're not talking about a sale on fruits or vegetables, but a high jump competition.
Near the produce, next to the deli, and right past the almonds is a first of its kind high jump extravaganza.
"To be right here in the front row for something spectacular, never been done before and I think it's amazing," said Drew Holmes.
Drake Relays organizers have learned the power of bringing their event from the stadium to the people, and they cleared an entire Hy-Vee supermarket produce and fruit department to make room for the star studded event.
The jumpers, like Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard, love the idea.
"You have to take banana peels into consideration; you have to take in pedestrians, carts, little kids and lot of things to take into consideration and try not to kill yourself," said Kynard.
The crowd loves it too.
"First of all they're tall, they're very good athletes, and then the speed. It's amazing how they will start at the back of our Hy-Vee store and run all the way up to the front in a matter of seconds," said Darin Hirl.
This is all for fun. The high jumpers will be back on Saturday for the real competition at the official relays. Knowing hundreds of grocery shoppers probably watched high jumping for the first time raises the bar for these amazing athletes.
"If it's creating more buzz about track and field and getting more fans for our sport it's a good thing," said Sharon Day-Monroe.

The bottle with the castle on the front is very cute. Lulu Guinness Fairytales perfume by Lulu Guinnessis a very unique smell which I personally do not like. I've tried to pass this one on to sisters and friends and have no takers after they smell it.

LULU GUINNESS FAIRYTALES Review This is one of THE most deceptive description I've ever read of a perfume. My olfactory tastes range from fruity floral to fruity/floral gourmand. That's why I was so excited about this perfume when I ordered. Boy is this is the last time I order any perfume without testing first! The top (supposedly) fruity notes are drowned in a heavy cream/caramel/spicy and seriously heavy handed base notes. Definitely NOT a perfume for summer and NOT for people who are looking for a fruity/floral perfume. Just a heavy dose of gourmand without ANY sophistication. Beware and don't order without testing.

Greenwich Council leader Chris Roberts to stand down in 2014
Updated 5:31pm Monday 4th February 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
GREENWICH Council's leader Councillor Chris Roberts has announced he will stand down at the next local elections.
Cllr Roberts, who has been leader for 13 years, made the announcement in an email to colleagues on Monday (Feb 4).
In it, he claimed that he had intended to stand down in 2010, but had hung on after securing the Olympics and royal borough status.
Cllr Roberts, who was challenged for the leadership last year, will stay in the role until the end of his term in 2014.
It is rumoured he may then run for Parliament at the next general election.
Cllr Roberts said in his email: "Nothing I do in the future will be as rewarding or as interesting as the challenge and enjoyment of public service in Greenwich and nothing will give me greater pride."
Leader of Greenwich Conservatives Councillor Spencer Drury said Cllr Roberts had been very supportive when his daughter fell seriously ill in 2006.
He said: "From a personal point of view I would probably have dropped off the council some time ago if it wasn't for Chris."
Cllr Drury went on: "Obviously he's very single-minded but privately I've always found him to be possible to deal with."
And Councillor John Fahy, who challenged for the leadership in 2012, said: "Chris has made the utmost contribution to the borough during the time he has spent as leader.
"Any decisions I might have made in the past were not about him as a person. I hold him in the highest esteem for what he's done.
"His legacy will last for generations."
Councillor Maureen O'Mara said: "You know you ask for comments from our press office."

Creating a multimedia center with Mpeg Menu System V2
You'll forget you're even working with a computer when you browse for your favorite videos, pictures, and audio files with Mpeg Menu System.
If you have an old, unused computer lying around your cellar or attic, you can convert it into a multimedia center with the Mpeg Menu System V2 [1] (MMSV2). MMSV2 lets you tune in to your favorite Internet radio station, listen to MP3s and audio CDs, run movies from your hard disk, and view images of your latest vacation, all without a special player on the desktop. MMSV2 has its own menu system that gives you direct access to multimedia functions. The underlying Linux system can use the network to communicate and thus access servers, or it can act as a server itself. A simple infrared remote control is all you need to control the system. And if your multimedia machine is quiet enough, you can even replace the DVD player, radio, and MP3 player in your living room.

ODU, VIPER to Open Motorsports Engineering Lab at VIR
The state's motorsports initiative shifts into high gear at noon Friday with the opening of an Old Dominion University (ODU) engineering laboratory that will be used to educate a Southside workforce and support economic development goals for the region and state.
Located at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR) near Danville, the lab is the latest addition to the growing arsenal of the high-tech Virginia Institute for Performance Engineering and Research (VIPER). The institute combines the assets and expertise of Virginia Tech, ODU and the world-class VIR.
The engine and drive-train lab is strategically located in the raceway's paddock and will be used commercially during weekend race events to evaluate horsepower output and other capabilities of a car's drive train and chassis. During the week, the state-of-the-art facility will be utilized by students seeking advanced degrees in motorsports engineering and by researchers investigating the potential of alternative fuels.
"With the opening of the VIPER motorsports engineering lab, ODU strengthens its valuable partnership with Virginia Tech and VIR while supporting regional economic development initiatives and statewide goals for the automotive and racing industry in Southside Virginia," said ODU President Roseann Runte. "When you add to this the potential of the very important alternative fuels research that will also take place in this facility, the result is a dynamic enterprise, strategically located and poised for success.
"ODU is proud to partner actively and enthusiastically, with political, economic and educational leaders in Southside and across the state, to help transform the workforce and workplace. We are honored to be part of the Virginia motorsports initiative, which uniquely offers service and training to the industry," she added.
"The opening of the Chassis Dynamometer and Engine Instrumentation Lab represents the next major milestones in the VIPER vision to stimulate the Southside economy through our motorsports initiatives, added Steve Southward, VIPER technical director.
"I am personally very pleased and excited to see these new assets become available for a number of reasons, such as bringing in new customers, attracting potential businesses to the area, and more importantly, for strengthening the VT-ODU partnership," he continued. "Our existing customers are also excited to see the growth in our capabilities, especially with our unique combination of university-led research and state-of-the-art test equipment."
The lab is a result of coordinated efforts by several organizations and leaders including Rep. Virgil Goode; former Gov. Mark Warner and Gov. Tim Kaine; former state Sen. Charles Hawkins, who currently heads the Virginia Tobacco Commission; and local and state economic development officials. Specifically, the facility is the brainchild of Connie Nyholm, co-owner and managing partner at VIR, who married the need for advanced services at the popular racetrack with the importance of education and research.
The facility includes 3,400 square feet of classroom, laboratory and office space. The VIPER asset is conveniently and tactically located at VIR, just a short drive to other racetracks in South Boston and Martinsville. The rare locating of a university research lab at a world-class racing facility supports its goal of being self-sustainable, while generating funds for student activities, research and stipends.
Beginning this fall, the facility will provide a rare educational opportunity for engineering motorsports students who have progressed from coursework at community colleges to the New College Institute in Martinsville, or who have studied at other state or regional institutions of higher education.
"This educational program is unique in that it provides access to all aspects of the motorsports engineering discipline," stressed the program's director, Colin Britcher, chair of the aerospace engineering department at ODU.
"This offering is essential to master's degree students, offering very valuable engine, chassis dynamics and on-track performance testing, all in one location. When you add in the aerodynamics testing available in ODU's wind tunnel, you have the only complete motorsports engineering test facility in America, right here in Virginia."
With its obvious value to both students and the racing industry, researchers hope to utilize the lab and its customers to also support the testing and evaluation of alternative fuels, specifically, algae-based biodiesel being produced by ODU and its Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium. The new lab's instrumentation and testing capabilities will be used to validate the performance of the fuel and to develop engine technologies. This could lead to producing highly-efficient engines that run on this alternative fuel. Having already successfully tested it in remote-control cars, the research team is on schedule to test their product by running a full-sized automobile on their biodiesel before the end of the year.
The opening of the new lab coincides with a busy race weekend at VIR. In addition to the ceremony, engineering students from Virginia Tech, ODU and more than 40 other universities will be on hand to race cars they have designed and built in an annual competition.
Additionally, VIPER will hold an open house and offer guests the opportunity to tour the facility and test drive a virtual racecar in a simulator.
Roughly 200 Volkswagen executives will also be on hand for the inaugural VW Jetta TDI Series race event, which focuses in part on educating the American consumer about the advantages of biodiesel.
And if that is not enough racing, the Bosch Engineering 250 will add to the weekend's festivities with a thrilling run on the 3.27 mile road course.

The Greenville Zoo said Tuesday evening that they were able to pin down the owner of a missing soldier doll that was left at the Greenville Zoo.
Greenville Zoo's Director Jeff Bullock said the doll was discovered on a shelf in the gift shop. He said the doll, known as a "Military Daddy Doll" may have been lost this weekend.
The doll has a picture along with graphics that say "Operation Military Kids" and "Army Family Covenant," according to Bullock.
Tuesday evening, the Greenville Zoo posted a message on their Facebook page, saying the owner had been located, and that the doll would be mailed out to the owner Wednesday morning.
Operation Military Kids' website features similar looking dolls. The website says Give A Hug dolls keep, "Deployed loved ones close during deployment. Give a Hug Dolls allow little Heroes to take the Soldier they miss with them wherever they go."
The zoo said Tuesday night that the owner of the doll was on vacation in Greenville when it was lost.
The zoo posted a photo of the doll on its Facebook page stating, "Lost and Found...As you can imagine we get a multitude of items turned in to lost and found and fortunately we are able to reunite the item with their owner, but we felt the need to post this picture of the doll that was left in the gift shop as we felt it must be a special item."
The message on the zoo's Facebook page had over 2,100 shares by Tuesday evening.

Faulkner University President Dr. Billy D. Hilyer announced plans to retire effective May 31, 2015, at the close of the 2014-2015 school year.
President Hilyer, the universities 7th president, has served in his position for 28 years. He began his career at Faulkner University in 1974 as a part time counselor and was named director of student services the following year. In February 1986 he was named executive vice president, and named president July 1986.
Hilyer announced his retirement in a letter to the university's board of trustees, and gave credit to board members and employees for Faulkner's growth during his time as president.
"I am grateful for our wonderful faculty and staff," Hilyer said. "For years
I have received much too much credit, credit that was due the faculty. Much of
the progress we have enjoyed through the years is the result of their hard
work, often under difficult circumstances, their professionalism and good
While Hilyer was president he accomplished several things including the doubling of enrollment at Faulkner, the growth of academic offerings, including the university's first doctorate-level degree programs through eCampus, the transformation of the main campus in Montgomery and the addition of a football program in 2007.
The search committee to name the university's next president has already
been formed, according to John W. Hill III, chairman of Faulkner's board of
trustees. It is chaired by Dale Kirkland, also a member of the board of
trustees, and includes the following: Jim Campbell, Carlton Freeman, Chip

Each Wednesday we'll identify one player, coach or area of the team that is most under the microscope. This week,we look at DT Kevin Williams, coming off his best game this season.
Amid the craziness surrounding the Vikings this season, it has been a quiet season for Kevin Williams. Too quiet.
Normally, for a player who escaped the threat of NFL suspension in the StarCaps case, this might be a good thing. But for Williams, one of the more destructive three-technique tackles of the past 5-6 seasons, quiet is never good.
Sunday was an exception. Simply put, Williams played his best game to date in 2010. He was all over the place, most often in the Redskins' backfield. Lined up opposite Artis Hicks, Williams torched the guy and sent him to the bench. He pressured Donovan McNabb and hit him hard enough to cause the QB to underthrow Anthony Armstrong on a deep ball. Williams battled against the run, which was totally taken away. He absorbed a few double-teams and also almost came up with an interception.
It was the kind of game Williams would have two or three, sometimes four times in a season. It's why he seems to end up in the Pro Bowl every year. At this stage right now, the only way Williams makes it to Hawaii (yes, the game is back there this year) is if the popularity contest/name recognition game takes over in that vote.
But one of the reasons he earned that recognition is because he was that good. Williams has to step up, and he'll be going up against a rather good player up front in Bills OG Eric Wood, who did a nice job on Lions DT Ndamukong Suh recently. But Williams is experienced and still dangerous, as Sunday showed, so he'll be on the spot to match his big game.
The rest of this defense, looking to pick up some respectability points down the stretch, really could use him to be dominant again.

CUPERTINO, CA - JANUARY 30: A boat dock rests on the ground on a dry section of the Stevens Creek Reservoir on January 30, 2014 in Cupertino, California. Now in its third straight year of drought conditions, California is experiencing its driest year on record, dating back 119 years, and reservoirs throughout the state have low water levels. Santa Clara County reservoirs are at three percent of capacity or lower. California Gov. Jerry Brown officially declared a drought emergency to speed up assistance to local governments, streamline water transfers and potentially ease environmental protection requirements for dam releases.

Shiplate Farm fishing report - Jason bird takes match meeting

TWO of Bristol's match groups, Frys and PSV, fished matches at Shiplate at the weekend.

After the prolonged influx of cold rain water recently, the results were going to be unpredictable.

It started with nibbling, munching, even licking every clam I could get my tongue on.
It was coastal Maine, America's very own heartland of clam, and I was on a clam bender.
In the midst of my mollusk frenzy, I took a moment to post an image to Facebook. It was of a large bucket of steamers. I was taken aback by the rapid response of my friend Julie, who commented, "Am I the only one who thinks clams are disgusting?"
No, she is undoubtedly not the only clam hater. So why was I so surprised? Because Julie is a Yale-educated, supremely gifted artist, and an otherwise lovely, open-minded soul...with a profound appreciation for the sea.
Therefore, I felt a responsibility to report on all the clammy wonderfulness that Julie is missing as a consequence of her inexplicable and wrongheaded aversion.
Except, of course, for Julie.

Facebook is giving Heather Clouse a major headache lately -- she feels she's being bullied on the social networking site, and fears her life could be in danger.
"There are people who have killed themselves because of this and nobody takes it seriously until somebody is dead and that is a problem," she says.
The problems began after she started a website called "Dear Deployment I Hate You." It's a site of support for people with deployed loved ones or spouses overseas.
Her boyfriend was deployed in 2010. The first sign of trouble, she says people had a problem that she was not married.
"There are military spouses who will not accept help from me or use the website because I am not married and I must not know what it is like to go through it," Clouse explains. Soon after, someone created an anti-Heather Facebook page called "Take the internet away from Heather Clouse."
Many postings on the page are very graphic - calls for her to be attacked, shot, and worse.
"If somebody did kill me like they said they were going to do or if I killed my self because of this, then everybody would wonder and step back and wonder 'Well, why didn't anybody do anything,'" she says.
So are the web page and postings even legal, or are they truly a threat?
Legal Expert Steve Benjamin says: "She may not like what was said about her, but that is part of free speech -- having to endure statements that are mean, petty ridiculous or insulting."
In Benjamin's opinion, Clouse doesn't have a case. He says the Facebook page and the postings are legal. But be warned, it is illegal to truly threaten someone over the computer. Proving it, however, may be difficult.
There is a fine line and a specific definition of what the law considers a true threat.
"It has to be a serious expression of an intent to do bodily harm. A mere statement that somebody should suffer bodily harm is a statement of very strong personal opinion, but it's not under the law a true threat," Benjamin says.
For example, a posting where a person says, "one night while she is walking to the car, bam, someone puts a bullet in her skull" is not considered a threat. Benjamin says these type of statements are only opinions and considered free speech.
The police department investigated Heather's case, but found no violation of the law. Despite this, police say they take threats seriously and if you feel your life is in danger you should contact them.
As for Heather, regardless of the law she still feels threatened and wants to see the laws change.
"There is no cyber police; there is nobody that can come to my rescue because our laws have not caught up with the times," she says.
If you find yourself in a similar situation to Heather's, our legal expert says the best advice may be just to ignore it. Another important tip: Don't erase the page or comments you feel are threats. Keep them and turn them over to the police.
