Is Linear Thinking Killing Your Retirement Plan?
By Frank Holmes, CEO and Chief Investment Officer
Is your portfolio limited by linear thinking? We believe so.
Many linear thinkers believe that to solve a problem, you need to follow a simple, logical path, a step-by-step sequence involving two variables. One and one is always two.
When it comes to solving today's social, political and economic ills, linear thinkers believe the solution is more regulation and government intervention. To wit: the thousands of pages piling up from the solutions of Sarbanes-Oxley, the Volcker Rule and Dodd-Frank. (This link will take you to usfunds.com.)There's a danger with this line of thinking because life is much more complex. Government policies are necessary for a level playing field for businesses, but they require a nonlinear way of thinking. Consider how scientists, mathematicians, psychologists and meteorologists have had tremendous success when they step outside the stiff boundaries required by linear thinking. Nonlinear math equations and systems have been used to explain weight loss, the spread of happiness, strength of metals and hurricanes. Millions of Americans' lives have been improved by a deeper level of understanding of these issues. This nonlinear line of thinking needs to be adopted by policymakers. As we enter a critical period in the U.S. election cycle, Americans deserve thoughtful regulations that maintain the spirit found within the Declaration of Independence. These are lofty, but attainable goals, as long as we have leaders who are brave enough to fully consider how their actions affect job creation, social stability, economic prosperity, trust and free markets. Prohibition is an obvious example of extreme regulation in American history. With all the good intentions of improving the lives of Americans by eliminating the perceived source of corruption, crime and poverty, politicians outlawed the making, transporting and selling of alcohol. Politicians did not anticipate the extent of unintended consequences, as the illegal commodity only encouraged bootlegging, speakeasies and the mafia. I'll raise my glass to the repeal in 1933 and the more practical and balanced approach that followed, as states chose their own drinking ages until the 1980s, when the need to reduce drunk driving fatalities led to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. Investors today are the unintended victims of the linear thinking that has permeated through today's government policies. A friend of mine shared his parents' experience with me that many retired workers can relate to. After years of working hard and prudently saving for retirement, my friend's parents felt that their nest egg was large enough to retire and live off the interest. At the time, their accumulated savings of $500,000 was invested in long-term Treasury bonds yielding roughly 6%. The annual interest of $30,000 satisfied their needs. Fast forward to this year, when 30-year and 10-year government yields have been so manipulated by the Federal Reserve that the rates have been reduced to near-record lows. This knocks the interest income on the retirees' half a million dollar nest egg to only $5,000 per year.

You don't need to spend money to keep a Windows computer running in top form. Here's how to fix, clean, and maintain Windows using programs you can download now for free.
The following software and tips generally apply to Windows 7, Vista and XP, and are listed in the order you should use them for the first time on a computer you suspect may be infected with malware or running slower than it should.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
1. Update Windows itself with Windows Update.
Though this should be a no-brainer, many Windows users don't install the latest updates for the OS provided by Microsoft (which are usually issued every Tuesday). Either they ignore the update notices that Windows sends them, or their Windows setup doesn't have automatic updating turned on. But ensuring that your installation of Windows has the latest updates and patches is one of the easiest ways to keep it functioning well.
That said, we're partial to not having Windows set to automatically download and install updates. After all, you could be using your computer online when unexpectedly both your Internet connection and computer slow because Windows is downloading and installing updates. Instead, we prefer leaving the automatic updating feature off, and visiting Windows Update once a week to manually check for updates.
2. Scan for malware with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Chances are, if you cannot visit the official Malwarebytes site (either the domain is blocked, or you're forwarded to another domain), then your Windows system has already been infected by malicious code. That is a testament to how effective Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is -- many malware writers try to block you from using this specific tool.
If you're trying to clean out malware from an infected Windows computer that is obviously preventing you from visiting the Malwarebytes site: You'll have to download the tool from another, un-infected computer and copy its installation file onto a USB flash memory stick or USB external drive. We suggest renaming the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installation file to whatever you like before you run it on the infected Windows computer -- there have been malware known to delete the installation file, recognizing that it's Malwarebytes' tool by its file name.
Furthermore, even if you can successfully install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, the malware may immediately delete the executable (mbam.exe) before you have a chance to start it. If that's the case, you'll then have to copy over mbam.exe from another computer, renaming it first to another name of your choosing, and then clicking on it directly to run it on the infected computer.
Can't use the USB ports of the infected Windows computer because the malware has blocked access to them? Try copying the installation file to a writable CD or DVD. The malware has managed to prevent you from even accessing the infected computer's media disc drive? Then you'll have to physically take out the hard drive from the infected computer, connect it to another Windows computer as a slave or external drive, and have this second system run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to scan and clean the drive.
3. Remove unneeded programs with Revo Uninstaller.

Information Security:
Progress Made, But Challenges Remain to Protect Federal Systems and the Nation's Critical Infrastructures
GAO-03-564T: Published: Apr 8, 2003. Publicly Released: Apr 8, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3317
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Protecting the computer systems that support federal agencies' operations and our nation's critical infrastructures--such as power distribution, telecommunications, water supply, and national defense--is a continuing concern. These concerns are well-founded for a number of reasons, including the dramatic increases in reported computer security incidents, the ease of obtaining and using hacking tools, the steady advance in the sophistication and effectiveness of attack technology, and the dire warnings of new and more destructive attacks. GAO first designated computer security as high risk in 1997, and in 2003 expanded this high-risk area to include protecting the systems that support our nation's critical infrastructures, referred to as cyber critical infrastructure protection or cyber CIP. GAO has made previous recommendations and periodically testified on federal information security weaknesses--including agencies' progress in implementing key legislative provisions on information security--and the challenges that the nation faces in protecting our nation's critical infrastructures. GAO was asked to provide an update on the status of federal information security and CIP.
With the enactment of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, the Congress continued its efforts to improve federal information security by permanently authorizing and strengthening key information security requirements. The administration has also made progress through a number of efforts, among them the Office of Management and Budget's emphasis of information security in the budget process. However, significant information security weaknesses at 24 major agencies continue to place a broad array of federal operations and assets at risk of fraud, misuse, and disruption. Although recent reporting by these agencies showed some improvements, GAO found that agencies still have not established information security programs consistent with the legal requirements. For example, periodic testing of security controls is essential to security program management, but for fiscal year 2002, 14 agencies reported they had tested the controls of less than 60 percent of their systems. Further information security improvement efforts are also needed at the governmentwide level, and these efforts need to be guided by a comprehensive strategy in which roles and responsibilities are clearly delineated, appropriate guidance is given, adequate technical expertise is obtained, and sufficient agency information security resources are allocated. Although improvements have been made in protecting our nation's critical infrastructures and continuing efforts are in progress, further efforts are needed to address critical challenges that GAO has identified over the last several years. These challenges include: (1) developing a comprehensive and coordinated national CIP plan; (2) improving information sharing on threats and vulnerabilities between the private sector and the federal government, as well as within the government itself; (3) improving analysis and warning capabilities for both cyber and physical threats; and (4) encouraging entities outside the federal government to increase their CIP efforts.

FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio – Federal agents have raided a
Columbiana County home as part of an investigation into the alleged manufacture
and sale of unlicensed, unregistered and untaxed firearm silencers.
According to documents filed in U.S. district court in
Youngstown, agents from the U.S. Postal Service and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives searched the Signal Road home of Bert See last
According to an affidavit, the investigating ATF agent says
he made purchases over the internet of three kits which were assembled to make
a device that diminishes the report of a firearm. The agent says that the
purchases were traced back to See.
The search inventory indicates that during the search on
See's home, agents seized numerous parts that could be used to make silencers,
also known as suppressors.
In addition, agents removed a dozen firearms, numerous
containers of ammunition, magazines, computers and paperwork.
Court documents say the search and seizure was in relation
to an investigation into the manufacture of firearms without having paid a
special occupational tax; possessing and transporting an unregistered firearm;
possessing a firearm not identified by a serial number and engaging in firearms
business without a license.
There is no indication on the federal court docket that
charges have been filed in connection with the investigation.

The Origins of William Phelps
Many Phelps researchers have relied on the book The Phelps Family of America and Their English Ancestors (available at a 25% discount) as the basis for concluding that their original ancestor in England was either William or George phelps of Tewkesbury. While a valuable research tool, the book is wrong about the origin of William and George.
Robert Charles Anderson in his book The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 (available in hardbound or CD-ROM) shows that William Phelps of Massachusetts and Connecticut is not the William Phelps of Tewkesbury records, but more likely from Crewkene.
The first Phelps immigrant of interest is Richard Phelps, origin and date of immigration unknown, who is mentioned in only two records. The earliest is in Dorchester, MA, 1633, and mentions his fence as a boundary. The second entry is a fine for drunkenness in 1635-36. Anderson states that no evidence exists for the hypothesis that Richard had a relationship to William Phelps or George Phelps who also lived in Dorchester. Indeed he states the possibility that each incident refers to a different individual. [In 1650, Dorchester was renamed Windsor.]
Why William Phelps of Windsor is not from Tewkesbury
Ever since the book, The Phelps Family of America and Their English Ancestors, (available at a 25% discount) was published by Andrew T. Servin & Oliver Seymour Phelps, many have gone along with their conclusion that the Phelps family originated in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England. William Phelps of Windsor, Conn., died on 14 July 1672 at age 72, according to the authors, which would place his birth at about 1600. When they found a William Phelps baptised on 19 Aug. 1599, in Tewkesbury, with a son, Richard, baptised there, 26 Dec. 1619, they believed they had found William Phelps of Windsor. They could not find the baptism of George Phelps there, supposedly his brother, nor could they find any other children after 1619. They speculated the family moved south about 1620, possibly to Porlock, Somerset.
In The American Genealogist, Vol. 58 (Oct. 1982), Myrtle Steven Hyde questions the Phelps genealogy authors' claim that the emigrants William and George Phelps came from Tewkesbury. William's son, William Jr. was mentioned in a disposition taken, 29 May 1677, as being about three score years of age. (Ancient History of Windsor, Vol. 2 p. 564). This would place his birth at about 1617, which would push back his father's birth to 1590-1595. Hyde acknowledges the 1599 baptism of the William Phelps of Tewkesbury could be the emigrant, if his son, William Jr.'s age was incorrect in the 1677 document, but there were undoubtedly other William Phelpses born in other parishes that could fit as well or better. The Phelps genealogy authors called the emigrant George Phelps a brother of William, but there is no record of George in Tewkesbury. Hyde says they were probably brothers, but she could find no supporting evidence.
The alleged parents of the emigrants were William and Dorothy Phelps of Tewkesbury. The father died in 1611 without a will. His widow Dorothy wrote her will on 16 June 1612 and it was held from probate until 5 May 1617 (PCC 51 Weldon). In her will she named her daughters, Dorothy, Frances and Mary and son, William, but no sons Thomas or George. She also listed brothers-in-law, Nicholas and Edward Phelps. This Edward Phelps prepared his will in 1636, then of Tewkesbury, and the will was proved 1 July 1637, (PCC 104 Goare). Edward appointed as an overseer William Phelps, undoubtedly his nephew, and certainly not the William Phelps living far away in New England. The only child of William's found in Tewkesbury was Richard, baptised 26 Dec. 1519.
Since the 1982 The American Genealogist article, new discoveries in the parish records of Somerset indicate that the emigrant William Phelps was in the area as early as 1618. There are Phelps baptismal records in Phillimore's printed indexes of Crewkerne, in the Somerset Record Office in Taunton, and in the Somerset Interntational Genealogocial Research records that appear to list the children of William Phelps of Windsor, Conn.
Perhaps the most important conclusion to come from this Great Migration Study is recognition by a consensus of recognized genealogical scholars that William Phelps of Massachusetts and Connecticut is not the William Phelps of Tewkesbury records. Their conclusions reinforce those reached through the research done by Burt Spear and The Mary and John Clearing House which some have refused to accept.
Several family genealogies were listed in the key to titles used in more than one biographical sketch. Where a title is used in only one sketch, the full bibliographic entry was contained in the sketch. The Phelps Family in America by Oliver Seymore Phelps and Andrew T. Servin was not identified as a source. This is only one more indication that any statement it contains needs careful verification from records which were not available to the authors one hundred years ago. Certainly errors it contains should not be perpetuated when those errors are identified and supported with evidence from primary sources.

My dad had wanted a 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS since he was about 7-years old. He found this one in 1999. He took it to get restored at Mild To Wild Restoration, and found out that the engine in it had come out of a 1968 Chevy Truck. He got a wild hair to just stick a 502 Ram Jet in it and call it done, but it wouldn't fit. So he went with a 454 and it runs great. It sees many car shows in New Mexico and receives many comments.

The car came, originally, with factory air conditioning and power windows, which is a combination we haven't found in many other cars at shows.

********the beast dreams*******
Mr. Sandman's bag
Romantic, like pouring rain
Seashore wedding bash
********the world is home******
Wishing well mirage
Homeless with rich sandcastle
Ocean wave pillow
********it takes two***********
Heaven passion kiss
4 hands creating a mote
Drawbridge of sea shells
*******hungry wings***********
First class bay front seat
Seagulls land on top tower
Essence of bird spill
*******colliding sandcastle******
Adventure hot day
Knocking the beauty of my moment
Stinky, little brother
"Sexy Who"
sand, oozing through toes
water down my swimsuit piece
how I love the sun
new sun-rays run my soul
wind swims around my pale skin
sunburn, ouch!
strong & Long Lasting
The Viagra moment fades
power by the sun
*Jerk Around*
secret moment
Vixen photos of my youth
rock hard & bigger
Blood dripping demon
I can hear scraping under my bed
My heart stops
A-L Andresen :)
Must make haste
Time for "waste"
still water--
through the bare gray wood
dappled light falls
a squirrel
runs up the old tree--
acorns plop
a very loud noise
started ringing from my clock—
I fell out of bed
a bumped water glass
rolling across the hard floor—
I slipped on my head
a loud screaming sound
resonated through the house—
my face turned bright red
my husband woke up
hysterically laughing—
I was on the floor
I could not get up
without someone assisting—
ku ku krazy day
I went back to bed
wondering what day it was—
perhaps, tomorrow

Cooperstown Crier
---- — One of the best reasons to travel is to get out of one's cultural skin for a while. It is also a great way to pick up some pretty useful ideas. I have never been comfortable with the much bandied about term "American Exceptionalism." Actually, I find it distasteful, counter-productive, and condescending. We have a lot to be proud of, but if one gets around a bit one sees that some pretty interesting and innovative stuff is happening around the world, much of it worth emulating — or at least worthy of some thought and implementation within the context of our own cultural
We have just returned from a trip to Ireland, England and Wales. Beauty abounds in all, although each is different, which is as it should be. No country can escape the effects of the recent global economic meltdown and each country is certainly struggling its way back to a reasonable level of economic growth and stability.
There is an ages-old English idea that has a great deal of appeal. It would be nice if we could implement some version of it here. Ours was primarily a walking/hiking trip. England has miles upon miles of public footpaths, some networks closing in on a hundred miles or more. No matter where one goes one comes across green arrow-shaped signs pointing the way to these public walking paths across privately owned lands. Implied in such an arrangement is a completely different view of private property. Owners set aside clearly marked walking paths, normally on the edges of fields often connected by stiles, so that one moves from property to property almost seamlessly. Some stiles a more easily negotiated than others, but by and large minimal effort is required. If one is new to an area it can be a bit confusing and we did end up on walks appreciably longer than anticipated, but that made it all the more enjoyable. One day after taking several wrong turns we found ourselves about a mile from the village we thought we would end
up at. Shortly after starting to walk down the road in single file a car was pulled off to the side of the road and a man got out to consult a map. We asked him how far it was to the village and after a few minutes of pleasant conversation he offered not only to drive us to the next village, but to
ours, which was several miles away. When we protested, mildly, he said it was ONLY a mile out of his way and he would be happy to do it. Our weary bodies appreciated his kindness.
We managed to get lost a number of times, but always managed to reach our destinations albeit foot weary. While foot weariness can be trying, the feeling of accomplishment that comes from walking through lovely sheep dotted hillsides makes it worth the effort. Thoreau had it right when
he opined that the swiftest travelers travel afoot. The destination is not a place, but a state of mind.
The day after we got back home I headed out for a walk. Not long into the walk I started noticing yellow posted signs. It is uninviting enough to be reminded that trespassing of any kind is prohibited. Less neighborly are the threats of prosecution and the fear of having one's jugular torn apart by a dog. Frankly, I have never actually seen a dog doing sentry duty but the promise of an encounter is enough to keep me moving in the opposite direction.
The ethos at work in England is that walking is a good thing and that while land is owned it is also, within reason, public space as well. Land is sharable space. That is a very different state of affairs than we have here. While land is owned, in every sense of the word, it is communal space as well. There is something very civilized about that. Here ownership implies exclusivity. Posted signs mean keep out, don't you dare set foot on this land despite the fact that no one really owns land anyway. Nature owns itself and cannot be bought or sold. Our penchant for disrespecting nature, however, is quite another story. A friend said today that it would be nice if there were a public path along the shores of our beautiful lake. Perhaps that would be a start. Not a bad project to consider. Meanwhile I think I will pay attention to bright yellow stay off MY land signs.

Tradition, craftsmanship, and visionary excellence.
Ludwig Legacy Classic Lacquer Bass Drum
This is a single custom-built, American-made bass drum from the Ludwig Legacy Classic series, which is based on a modern rethinking of the legendary reinforced 3-ply Ludwig drum shells that set the standard for popular music throughout the 20th Century.Incorporating many of the same methods used throughout its long and illustrious history, Ludwig's exclusive Legacy Classic shells are made in-house from the choicest cuts of hand-selected North American hardwoods. At its core is a single 1/8" ply of premium poplar for unyielding warmth and resonance. Inner and outer plies of 1/16" premium-grade North American maple are then cross-laminated to the core to reproduce that magical balance of power and clarity for the modern era. This proven design is then augmented with 1/4" single-ply maple reinforcement hoops, and rounded, classic-cut bearing edges for thundering lows and pronounced cut-through in any musical situation. The attractive maple outer shell is then treated in durable lacquer finishes. All Legacy Classic drums also feature Ludwig's Classic mini-lugs and traditional "Keystone" badges.But Legacy Classic is not merely a blast from the past. This drum is created through state-of-the-art manufacturing, careful quality control, and a host of upgrades and innovations developed through Ludwig's considerable experience and expertise in crafting drums. For the discriminating professional, serious part-time player, and vintage and contemporary collector alike, Legacy Classic is among the best of today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

Police appeal after mobility scooter collision
Police are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information to come forward following a collision involving a pedestrian and a mobility scooter in Christchurch.
– Jim Perks, Christchurch Police
The rider of the scooter did not stop and continued toward Sopers Lane. Following further enquiries, I am now able to release a CCTV image of a lady that we would like to speak with. The picture shows a white woman, about 50-years-old, with long blonde hair, of stocky build, wearing a light coloured jacket. It may be that this lady can help me with my investigation.

Valentine's Gift Ideas for Your Guy!
Valentine's Day is literally just around the corner, but if you're scrambling for last minute gift ideas, don't worry… I've put together some affordable items and some fun and romantic ideas for your guy this Valentine's Day.
If you like to give traditional gifts, my brother's Arthur George socks are super affordable and a huge variety of patterns, so you're bound to find a pair your man would love! Khloe and Lamar's Unbreakable Love fragrance, their new unisex fragrance, would also be a fun gift!
If you want to do something a little more creative and thoughtful, you could cook his favorite meal for Valentine's Day night! Or you could bake him cookies or his favorite desert, or make breakfast in bed Valentine's Day morning (if you don't have to go to work, if you do, maybe get up extra early) or even buy tickets for the two of you to his favorite sports event. Maybe there's a concert or a game he's always wanted to go to but has never gotten around to it. Or you could do the classic romantic gesture of making a mix CD or iTunes playlist for him of all of the songs that have meant something in your relationship since you met.
Whatever you do for your loved one this Valentine's Day, whether you get an extravagant gift, or make him something from the heart, I'm sure it will mean the world to your man! Xo

"Now I wonder, can I still talk with parents to decide what's best for their kids, or will the government be in the middle of things?"
That's one of the questions asked in a new TV ad from the conservative political action group Americans for Prosperity. Obamacare has been on the books now for more than three years.
The ad now raises questions about the healthcare overhaul as final pieces begin to take effect.
"It is extremely destructive to American healthcare," Director of Americans For Prosperity North Carolina Dallas Woodhouse said.
Woodhouse says the ad, and the web site it directs people to, is all about educating the public.
"People need to understand, when they start seeing dramatically higher premiums later this year what is causing it," he said. "They need to see that when they are not able to see the doctor what is causing it."
Ads like these are playing on TV stations across North Carolina and across the country as a key deadline approaches. On Oct. 1, open enrollment beings for new healthcare insurance exchanges. Many adults who aren't insured will soon need to purchase it through those exchanges.
"The system is designed to try and get most everybody to sign up for insurance," NC State University political scientist Steven Greene said, "and that helps make the system work for people who have those pre-existing conditions, who are otherwise very expensive to cover. You bring in the young, healthy people and it makes the economics of the whole situation work out."
Greene says the ad campaign could work to discourage people from participating and undermine the system.
"Conservatives have decided that they have to do everything they can to stop it and if that's making people less likely to sign up for insurance...There's talk they want to create a budget battle over this issue, so I think this is part of a larger conservative campaign," he said.
That larger campaign also includes dozens of votes in the U.S. House of Representatives to de-fund Obamacare. A small minority of Republicans have even threatened a government shutdown if it moves forward.
Democrats we spoke with Wednesday denounced the Americans for Prosperity ad campaign as a last-minute attempt to keep the system from working.

Disabled get duck-hunting platform at STA-5Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
An e-mail from a wounded veteran led the South Florida Water Management District to create a wheelchair-accessible platform for hunting and wildlife viewing at Stormwater Treatment Area 5 south of Clewiston.
The e-mail urged the district to create more access to public land for the disabled. Governing Board member Mike Collins and members of the Water Resources Advisory Commission pushed for construction of the STA-5 platform.

"This is the Decade of the Information Revolution. At the beginning of the decade 4% of the public were connected to computers on a fast basis. [Now] it's 65%, 72% Total.
The Internet is all-encompassing. Most people use the Internet. It's led to search. It's led to social networks that shape ... the way people lead their lives that were unimagineable 10 years ago."
- Andrew Kohut, Pew Research Group, on PBS (12/31/09)
From former President Bill Clinton's State of the Union Address, January 27, 1998:
"One hundred and sixty million Americans are in managed-care plans. These plans can save money and can improve care. But medical decisions should be made by medical doctors, not insurance company accountants. So I urge the Congress to write into law a Consumer Bill of Rights that says this: You have the right to know all your medical options, not just the cheapest. You have the right to emergency room care, wherever and whenever you need it. You have the right to keep your medical records confidential. Traditional care or managed care, every American deserves quality care."

Lucas Conner, uncle of Ashlynn Conner, spoke Monday night to the Georgetown-Ridgefarm School Board that he was not pointing a finger of blame at anyone but hopes that there will be change in identifying and dealing with bullying in schools.
Ashlynn, 10, committed suicide Friday night, according to the Vermilion County Sheriff's Department. Her family has cited bullying at school as the reason.
"No one knew how Ashlynn felt," said an emotional Conner. "She is giving us all strength to move forward and help stop this problem."
Conner urged other children who feel they are being bullied to talk to step forward and talk to an adult…to seek help.
"We have to do something with this, we cannot let her life be in vain, this is an opening to help others," continued Conner. "This was not an isolated incident, it has been going on for years."
Conner said he hoped the school board would take action to implement new programs to identify and deal with bullying.
School board president Cheryl Kestufskie read a prepared statement to the audience.
"We are terribly saddened by the loss of one of our children. We have made counselors available to our children, our faculty and our staff and will continue to do so. We have cooperated fully with law enforcement officials and are awaiting the results of their investigation," read Kestufskie. "We know there is a great deal of discussion about what role "bullying" may have played in this tragedy. We are confident that the police will shed light on this matter.
"The Board of Education, the administration and the faculty work extraordinarily hard to ensure that all of our children feel safe at school. We will continue those efforts and ask the community to assist us," continued Kestufskie. "If any child feels that he or she is being harassed, bullied or intimidated they should talk with his or her principal. If the child is not comfortable doing so, the child should tell a parent and the parent should contact the principal."
The school board did decide to cancel classes for Ridgefarm Elementary School on Wednesday so that students, teachers and staff may attend the funeral services for Ashlynn Conner.

Christmas Vespers tradition continues at Lake Erie College
Christmas Vespers – one of the oldest living traditions at Lake Erie College – will be presented on Sun., Dec. 10, at 4:30 p.m. in Morley Music Hall.
Weekly Sunday Vespers programs date back to the early 1900s at Lake Erie College, with the last Sunday event before the winter break being designated "Christmas Vespers." The only surviving vespers program, it is presented annually with all the pageantry and almost all of the same elements it had nearly century ago.
The program showcases the College's Music Department and will feature the Lake Erie College Community Chorus, under the direction of Paul Gothard, professor of music, and the Flute Choir, directed by Judith Elias. Soloists include flautist, Judith Elias; organist, Mark Bell, Ph.D., assistant professor of German and French, who will perform works on the newly-restored Carol Morris E. M. Skinner Organ; mezzo-soprano, Jean Priddy; and student pianists, Marie Giosi and Deborah Hoffman.
The program includes works by J. S. Bach, Norman Dello Joio, Ned Rorem, John Rutter, John Jacob Niles, David Peninger, Jan Sweelinck, Flor Peeters, Paul Manz and numerous old European folk carols. Compositions from the Baroque to the Modern period assure that the concert will appeal to a wide range of musical tastes.
The Christmas Vespers program is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 4 p.m. Reservations are not needed. For more information, call Paul Gothard at (440) 375-7030.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education. The College offers 26 undergraduate majors, including new programs in sports management, forensic psychology and therapeutic horsemanship, as well as master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

BIRMINGHAM (AP) — Southeastern Conference coaches have voted Auburn's Gus Malzahn coach of the year, and picked his star tailback Tre Mason as the top offensive player.
Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley and Missouri defensive end Michael Sam are co-defensive players of the year. The SEC released the winners on Wednesday.

Texas A&M left tackle Jake Matthews receives the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Auburn's Malzahn wins Home Depot Coach of the Year
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Auburn's Gus Malzahn has been named Home Depot Coach of the Year, and Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins was selected the John Mackey Award winner for the nation's outstanding tight end.
The announcements were made Wednesday. Both awards will be presented Thursday as part of the College Football Awards Show at Disney's Boardwalk.
In his first season as Auburn coach, Malzahn led the Tigers to a 12-1 record and berth in the BCS national championship game against Florida State on Jan. 6. A win in the title game would make Auburn's improvement from 3-9 in 2012 the best in FBS history.
Malzahn is only the second first-year coach to lead his team to the national championship game.
Seferian-Jenkins becomes the first Mackey Award winner from Washington and third from the Pac-12.

Due to market recession in my former locations (Russia, east Europe, Finland etc) I´ve sought for new job locations. I have looked announcements in UK also...but with some confusion. Could you advise..or/and answer to the (and maybe sutpid) questions:
- it was published in our newspapers an article that tells how UK employers do not believe job seekers´ cv to be honest and true (only every third relies on them). So am I underestimated if I tell the truth of my skills and experience?
- how reliable are those agencies? Are they mainly used or just occassionally?
- for some projects of high status (high value and large) high level organisation ( project managers ao) are sought very late ( "urgent"). Is that true? Or just sought for "budget slaves" to accept more responsibility than what paid for.
- income promised vary a lot .. when actualy seen straight from company notices the salaries are much less?
- do you really need architects to UK. Your discussions sound sometimes so - I´m very sorry if I hurt somebody - island oriented?
I have a lot more questions because I have only worked with UK construction and engineering companies though met many within projects - I myself haved worked in UK but might to do so if...

Friends, family members, music lovers,
We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of our friend Adam, a man tragically taken from us before his time by external female forces beyond his control. For those who don't know me, my name is 88-Keys: rapper, singer, producer, but most of all, one of Adam's best friends. To commemorate his life and attempt to prevent a similar fate from befalling others, I created The Death of Adam, my first album that details his wild ride from typical nice guy to playa to, finally, murder victim. When people found out I was making this tribute, the wave of support from Adam's friends was incredible. Redman, Bilal, KiD CuDi, Little Brother's Phonte, J*DaVeY, Shitake Monkey and Kanye West all got up on the album to show their love for our fallen soldier.
I know Kanye, in particular, was a close friend of Adam, so it was cool he wanted to be so involved in the project. As Executive Producer, Kanye was instrumental in fleshing out the thematic concepts of the album. If I had ideas for Adam, I'd always bounce them off 'Ye and, when I wasn't sure about the direction of certain tracks, it was Kanye who always told me to just be me and not make music with any expectations in mind. Kanye loved Adam, so it seemed fitting that the first single would be "Stay Up! (Viagra)" with him on vocals.
Adam was one of the nicest cats you'd ever meet until he started falling in with the wrong crowd. He LOVED women, and it was a classic case of "too much of a good thing" that tragically led to his death. Adam's story runs all throughout The Death of Adam, starting with his luck—or lack thereof—as a "nice guy" and ending with his heartbreaking demise. I know if he were here today, he'd appreciate tracks like "The Friends Zone," about a girl needing a friend but the guy wanting more, and "The Burning Bush," which, if you think about it, should speak for itself.
When I started this project two years ago, I just imagined a 21-track album with a few vocal spots here and there. At first, after an overseas label approached me to make an album, I found this ill sample, but couldn't remove the word "pleasure" from the source. After some soul-searching, I kept the word in and realized one of the things that gave me ultimate pleasure: women. The next beat I made happened to be about the same topic and I knew then God was telling me how the album's theme would unfold. After Adam's death, it all clicked into place and I knew I wanted to tell his story through my music.
I tried to tell Adam's story through the music first and foremost, utilizing the track's tone, tempo, sample used etc. But as this album evolved and more and more of his friends hopped on to tell his story vocally, I realized Adam would've been proud to be the inspiration for a multi-faceted album that works on numerous levels. The end result is a 14-track cautionary tale on the pleasures and pitfalls of romantic conquests.
We all know how diverse Adam was when it came to music, so when it was time to venerate him, I couldn't let him down with just one genre. Adam and I used to listen to, and create, hip-hop all the time, so of course that had to be a major component of this sonic tribute. But we ran with so many different crews and listened to so many different musical styles, that there's just as much sunny pop, psychedelic rock and smoothed-out soul to express our various sides and honor his legacy.
Some of Adam's friends here that don't know me might ask, "Who are you? What gives you the right to make an album about our boy?" Let me try to answer that now. Those who know me from way back know my parents steered me toward a career in medicine, but I remember discovering Big Daddy Kane's Long Live the Kane in '88 and getting instantly hooked on hip-hop. As a teenager, I used to intern and engineer at The Music Palace, a studio in my hometown of West Hempstead, Long Island, and eventually got up with cats like Pete Rock, Large Professor and my role model Q-Tip. I've been making music myself for over ten years, collaborating with Mos Def and Talib Kweli for their Black Star album and Mos himself for his debut Black on Both Sides.
Since then, I've produced for everyone from Joe Budden and Beanie Sigel to Macy Gray and Musiq Souldchild. Adam and I saw hip-hop go through so many different permutations, but we always were down with the jazz- and soul-inflected beats of the '90s. But as our musical palettes expanded, it was only natural that we'd incorporate different styles into our own music. While this album really was a decade in the making, Adam's death lit a spark in me to revolve my debut around him. For anyone, guy or girl, that's ever had to deal with romantic issues, this one's for you.
