The stars and crew of the upcoming movie "Iron Man 3" are filming in Cary this week.
Crowds of teens and young adults, all fans of the franchise, watched production from a sidewalk along Crossroads Boulevard Monday. Filming was taking place inside Epic Games studios.
Fans saw some extras, but no major stars, they said. A tree resembling a Christmas Tree was also spotted outside of the game studio, perhaps hinting that the film will take place during the holiday season.
The crew is expected to also film around the SAS campus over the next few days.
Cary Police say drivers should expect police-controlled delays on Weston Parkway from NC 54/Chapel Hill Road to Harrison Avenue on June 6 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The police department says the closures are to "accommodate activity registered with the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film, and Sports Development."
Production is mainly taking place in and around Wilmington. Principle photography on the film began in late May with a shoot at Cape Fear Club on Chestnut Street in Wilmington, N.C. The shoot called for two cast members and 20 extras.
In April, thousands of people turned out at Crabtree Valley Mall to sign on to be extras in the film "Caged Heat" -- a working title for the "Iron Man 3" production.
That "Iron Man 3" will shoot under the working title "Caged Heat" may be meaningless – much like Michael Bay's "Prime Directive" title for the "Transformers" trilogy – but that hasn't stopped comic book fans from speculating. Many have been quick to point to the title's similarity to Marvel superhero Luke Cage and the fact that the latest "Iron Man" film may be used as a vehicle to launch a Luke Cage spin-off.
While much of the details of the film's shooting schedule are shrouded in mystery, some employees at SAS in Cary had hinted on social media that filming will take place at SAS.
SAS spokesman Trent Smith, however, said he could not comment on whether "Iron Man 3" would be filmed at SAS.
The film's publicist also said he did not know whether SAS was part of the film's schedule and said he had not seen a schedule yet.
Shane Black will take over directorial duties from Jon Favreau, who helmed the first two "Iron Man" films. Black's credits include 2005's "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," which also starred Robert Downey Jr.
"Iron Man 3" stars Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle. Sir Ben Kingsley is also reportedly in talks to play a villain in the film, however he "will not be the primary villain, according to insiders, and it is not clear what role he will play."
James Badge Dale and Guy Pearce have also been in talks to join the production, though it is unclear what roles they would play.
The film is set for release May 3, 2013.

Crowds packed the midway on the opening day at the 154th Mississippi State Fair. The sights and sounds of the annual statewide carnival beckoned families and little ones looking forward to the food and fun.
For the next 12 days the midway will come to life offering fun and adventure. There are 70 rides and about 100 food vendors.
The fair experienced record attendance recent years; more than 670,000 visitors.
"We always love to come every single year and we come to get the corn and have a good time," said Sarah Coughlin of Clinton. "We come every year and I brought my boys because we are meeting my daughter and they come every year with the same group of girls."
"It's important to the kids. they love to come, said Neetra Newsome of Jackson. "I usually bring my kids on the first day because it isn't crowded. They get to ride all the rides on the first day. They ride whatever they want to and I don't have to stand in those long lines."
"So many people come with their families over the years," said Mississippi State Fair Executive Director Billy Orr. "We get a lot of people from Monroe , from Memphis, New Orleans but of course one thing that brings them, we're in a good location and we're by far the largest fair in the deep south."
On Tuesday, October 8, kids 12 and under who wear their Halloween costumes get in free. The fair is open through Sunday, October 13.

Police arrest, charge pair with brutal north San Antonio murder
Detectives say couple mutilated then tried to burn victim
SAN ANTONIO - Hours after a north side fire turned into a murder investigation police arrested the pair they say killed, mutilated and tried to burn the victim.
Thirty-six year-old Connie Yanez and fifty year-old Michael Quinn are now charged with the brutal killing of Albert Guerra Saturday on Wonder Pkwy.
Officers say SAPD and members of the Lone Star task force detained and arrested the couple on an warrant for murder less than 24 hours after firefighters found Guerra's burning body inside the home at 9 a.m. Saturday.
An arrest affidavit reads like a horror story.
In the affidavit detectives say Yanez and Quinn stabbed and then dismembered the body of their 56 year-old victim.
The affidavit states Guerra's legs had been severed, and that he had obvious trauma signs to his neck and the back of his head.
Detectives also say they found an electric circular saw and large knife near the body.
The affidavit says both Quinn and Yanez admitted to the killing.
It also says Quinn had contacted family members in South Carolina and told them he had stabbed and dismembered a man and needed money.
The family contacted SAPD and the search for the suspect began.
Detectives had already been searching for Quinn and Yanez when Guerra's body was found Saturday morning.
They say they tracked and caught them around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Marvell Rep Season to Include Spring's Awakening and Joy Franz in Threepenny Opera
By Michael Gioia
Marvell Repertory Theatre artistic director Lenny Leibowitz and managing director Amy Estes have announced the company's 2012 season, which will include Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera and Frank Wedekind's Spring's Awakening.
Marvell Rep, the New York City theatre company that presents work in rotating repertory, will offer their 2012 performances at TBG Theatre.
Kicking off the season in repertory from Jan. 31–Feb. 29 is Professor Bernhardi and Threepenny Opera. Arthur Schnitzler's Professor Bernhardi, translated by G.J. Weinberger, runs Jan. 31-Feb. 26. Opening night is set for Feb. 5. The cast will feature Sam L. Tsoutsouvas as Dr. Bernhardi, Chris Kipiniak as Dr. Ebenwald and Geddeth Smith as Dr. Cyprian.
The Threepenny Opera will run Feb. 6-29 with an opening set for Feb. 12. The cast will feature Ariela Morgenstern as Jenny Diver, Angus Hepburn as Jonathan Peachum, Joy Franz (Into the Woods) as Mrs. Peachum, Emma Rosenthal as Polly Peachum and Matt Faucher as Macheath.
"While searching for a musical for our 2012 season, Occupy Wall Street began to capture national and international attention. We realized, if there has ever been a time for Brecht, and particularly for Threepenny, it's now," said Leibowitz in a statement. "The Threepenny Opera is just as radical today as it was when the Nazis banned it, and it still astonishes with its combination of filth and grandeur, savagery and charm."
In repertory from Oct. 2–Nov. 4 is Sholem Asch's God of Vengeance (Oct. 2-28), Eugene O'Neill's Exorcism (Oct. 2-28) and Wedekind's Spring's Awakening (Oct. 8-Nov. 4). Additionally, the world premiere of Night Games by Dianna Russell and Leibowitz will be held in summer 2012.
The full Marvell acting company for this slate includes Joel Bernstein, Yuval Boim, Nathan Brisby, Jonathan Cantor, Rachel Claire, Faucher, Franz, Marc Geller, Kevin Gilmartin, Robert Gonyo, Hepburn, Chad Jennings, George Michael Kennedy, Kipiniak, Chiara Klein, Stass Klassen, Christopher Lee, Andrew Lemonier, Morgenstern, Damian Norfleet, Kelly Pekar, Rosalinda Perron, Markus Potter, Gavin Price, Franz Quitt, Mike Rosengarten, Rosenthal, Stephen Sheffer, Stephanie Shipp, Max Singer, Smith, Barbara Spiegel, Tsoutsouvas, Loralee Tyson, Jill Usdan and Kevin Winebold.
Members of the creative team include scenic designer Tijana Bjelajac, costume designer Susan Nester and lighting designer Nicholas Houfek.

Helloooooo, September. How'd you creep up on us so fast? While I'm pretty bummed tomorrow marks the unofficial end of summer, I do love fall in New York City and can't wait for slightly cooler and less humid temperatures for running.
The start of September also means that in just one week, I'll be running a marathon. Gulp. After absolutely lovingggg Boston 2012 (aka the 'speed can kill' heat race), I knew I couldn't wait to get back for 2014. But then life, work, injuries and accidents got in the way of running other marathons, which meant I haven't run a race of any type since Boston/Big Sur in April 2012 and thus my qualifying times are all outdated. While Boston registration remained open through the Chicago Marathon last year, I am fairly confident that won't be the case this year since everyone and their mom seems to want to do Boston this year given last year's events.
So, I knew I couldn't wait until Chicago to get my time, and that I should start searching for early September marathons to seek out a new BQ time before registration opens. Back in April, I stumbled upon the Lehigh Valley VIA Marathon and decided it fit the bill perfectly: runner-friendly fast course, relatively minimal travel, and perfect timing on September 8th. I quickly registered and hoped I wouldn't regret the impulsive decision laster.
My goal for the race is to get a comfortable BQ time between 3:20 and 3:25, which is at least 17+ minutes slower than my PR and should normally not be a big deal (for me.) But after the bike accident, I was pretty slow to return to running and really started doubting whether or not a 7:40-7:50 pace was even doable for 26.2 miles. While I was only able to run 1 mile at the end of May, I've seen major progression over the last few weeks especially and feel really, really good about the race!
I'm trying to treat it as a uptempo long run (NOT RACE), with the goal of slightly negative splits and feeling smooth and comfortable, holding myself back from the impulse to push the pace. I know I might get carried away a bit, but will remind myself I just need ANY time in that window and there is no point in going any faster. I just want to check the BQ box and then focus on a better time at Chicago.
Running lately has been going pretty well, with a few confidence boosting runs and workouts along the way. I did 19.5 miles last weekend, since I was too lazy to go 20, and ran around nearly the entire island of Manhattan.
We had intended to make it a slightly faster paced long run with a faster-ish finish, and I felt awesome the entire time. We started around 8:00 pace per usual, and then brought it down to 7:45s and 7:30s and under towards the end. We averaged around 7:45 pace for the whole run, meaning adding on another 6+ miles should be no big deal next weekend, right?
And then this past Thursday, we did one of my favorite tempo workouts for marathon training– a continuous 8 miler with the first 4 mile loop at marathon pace and the second loop at half-marathon pace.
In my experience with this, everyone always ends up going way faster than their actual marathon pace for the first loop. I knew I wanted to start conservatively and feel good at the end, so aimed around/under 7:00 pace for the first 4 and hoped I could hang onto the group for the end.
The good thing about doing these consistent workouts is being able to compare to years prior. I was pretty excited when I realized I had also averaged 6:45 pace for this workout before NYC '11. And I was in kick ass shape when I did this before Boston '12, averaging 6:32 pace and feeling really relaxed. Nonetheless, it was a huge confidence booster and testament to the body's amazing ability to make fitness gains. Back in July, I could barely hold a 2 mile tempo at this pace and wanted to die.
So, fingers crossed for next weekend! My right shin started feeling a little funky after Thursday, but otherwise no aches or pains. I feel good but need to respect that 26.2 miles is a LONG way and I'm probably delusional for thinking it'll be a casual Sunday morning yog. BQ, here I come… ready or not.
Happy Labor Day weekend, all!

Strapless Ruched Bodice Tulle Ball Gown Style MK3576 16 16
Stunning I never thought I would choose a dress like this, but it is absolutely beautiful. The pictures do NOT do it justice. I bought it for my September wedding in ivory. The color complements my skin so well - I looked positively glowing when I tried this dress on. I got a sash with flowers to go around my waist, which really tops off the dress. If you try on this dress, I really recommend that you do so with the BIGGEST, poofiest slip in the store. I did and it looks so amazing. The only thing I wish this dress had is a sweetheart neckline. I'm 5'4" and 125 pounds. Size 4 fits perfectly, I don't even think I'll need alterations. February 24, 2014
Dress of my dreams! My wedding isn't until 10.10.15, but I really wanted to go try on dresses before I started nursing school back up just to get it out of my system. I wasn't planning on finding THE dress, but the dress picked me :) I cried tears of joy knowing I would be in this romantic, elegant and comfortable wedding gown. I love that I can customize the bling belt and make it my own. I ordered it in white because the store only had ivory, but I know I will love the white when it comes in! January 19, 2014
Pictures and review after wedding day After my wedding day, I can give a better review. I loved my dress, so did my husband (he said I looked amazing) and my family and friends. Maybe I would have chosen the style without the train, had I considered I was going to walk in a small venue for our reception but nonetheless I loved my dress and how it made me feel. I got married on Dec 21st 2013 so I needed something warm: as you can see from the picture I posted, I was wearing a nice sweater, that I ended up wearing the whole day. It does need some ironing when you take it out of the box, but my day was wonderful and I don't regret a thing about purchasing this style! December 27, 2013
Long quest for a wonderful dress! I get married on December 21st, 2013. Clock's ticking! Well, I have had really terrible experiences with my dress research and purchase. I trusted the wrong people to make me a haute couture dress at a cheap price and I got really burned. Thing is, in November I still didn't have anything to wear. You can imagine my stress! Then, I decided to trust David's Bridal and I couldn't be more happy. It usually takes me quite some thinking before buying anything, even more so for a wedding gown. I had ordered one (Style 875578, DB Studio), but the order never went through. In the meantime I had been looking at more dresses (I guess my heart wasn't set on it). I decided to go a little over my budget and check the $400-$800 dresses and I found this beauty! I also looked at the online catalogues and there it was again, always stunning, magical looking! I ordered it. I was very nervous for all the "usual" reasons: will it be pretty, will it look good on me, will it fit me, will it come on time,... I live in Italy and I am to marry a wonderful American man. I had no chance to try it on first and the shipping times made me nervous, even if I always buy on the internet! Well, I ordered in on a Monday, Thursday it shipped and I got it the following Thursday (delayed only because of Italian customs office! It would have come even sooner!). SIZING: I followed the fit & sizing guide (I'm a size 10, but I wear a 36A, so a really small cup) and it fits wonderfully. Not one centimeter too tight, not one too loose. I would like to let you know my measures, I rarely find them on reviews and I think they are very useful, so here we go. I am 5'7, 143 pounds. Bust: 37 to 38, waist 31.5, hip 41.5. In this case, given the guide requires it, I also measured the hip bone and it was like my bust. COLOR: I am so happy with my purchase. I was nervous about the color, too: online you can get it either ivory or whisper pink. I was afraid ivory would be a dirty white or even a yellowy color. I got it in ivory and I was pleasantly surprised. It's beau-ti-ful! I feel wonderful in this dress, and finally a real bride, with a real dress! In the pictures you can see the front and the side/train. I apologize for the quality, it was all taken with bad lighting in my room, but I think they are still useful. One thing I haven't decided yet is about the "bars" in the top part. You can see them, but it doesn't bother me. I was thinking about shortening them cause I guess women wearing a 10 are supposed to have bigger breasts than 36A so it feels funny. I fixed the problem slightly moving around in the gown. Oh, it has 4 underskirts! I am not looking for a very puffy skirt, so this dress meets every single one of my desires. Also, it is not too heavy and it never "slides down". Our wedding colors are white and red. Therefore, wanting to add some red to my dress, I bought a sash (Style 3550), in the apple color. Despite some brides say that this dress is plain, I have really simple tastes and the sash is too much for me. It stops the flowing of the materials and the ruched bodice. Also, apple is a very dark red and I don't think I will use it. November 28, 2013

SAN ANTONIO (BP) -- Due to a perceived slight against homosexuality, Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk is in a fight for his career. The Lackland Air Force base first sergeant was told by his commanding officer to clear out his office on Aug. 9. The point of contention reportedly is not about anything Monk said, but what he refused to say.
"It's all because he didn't say anything wrong. He thought it," said Steven Branson, pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. Monk, his wife and their three teenage sons faithfully attend services each Sunday the pastor said.
Branson said he has been in touch with Monk since the sergeant told him Sunday (Aug. 11) of the untenable situation. The pastor said Monk feels abandoned by the institution he has served for 19 years. Deployed as a medic, Monk devoted himself to saving the lives of his fellow service men and women, according to his pastor.
"Now I'm in trouble," Monk told Branson, "and everybody's leaving me behind."
At issue is Monk's refusal to reveal his personal views regarding homosexual marriage to his commanding officer. According to a Fox News report, the commander, a lesbian, asked Monk to report on disciplinary proceedings for an Air Force instructor under investigation for making objectionable comments about homosexual marriage during a training session.
According to Fox News, Monk interviewed the instructor and determined his comments were not intentionally provocative. But some trainees complained. Monk suggested that his commander use the incident as a learning tool about tolerance and diversity, but to no avail.
"Her very first reaction was to say, 'We need to lop off the head of this guy.' The commander took the position that his speech was discrimination," Monk reportedly recounted.
Branson said the commander began to press Monk about his views on the issue.
Fox reported, "She said, 'Sgt. Monk, I need to know if you can, as my first sergeant, if you can see discrimination if somebody says that they don't agree with homosexual marriage.'"
Having witnessed the commander's ire regarding the instructor, Monk declined to answer. He also understood Air Force policy demands silence from homosexual detractors.
"She got angrier and angrier with him," Branson said. "So he got fired for something she thinks he believes."
The action will be a mark on an otherwise spotless record. Branson called Monk "pure military" -- a real "do-it-by-the-book" serviceman who also happens to be a strong Christian.
It is because of his faith and the lesson he wants to teach his sons that compels him to take action. As Monk told his pastor, "I'm going to teach my boys they can't run from everything."
The Liberty Institute in Plano, Texas, has agreed to represent Monk should the need for legal counsel become necessary. And although the family is "low-key" and not well-known, help has come from the church. Branson said members who are experienced news media and military professionals offered counsel on how to negotiate the anticipated onslaught of exposure and scrutiny.
"We're trying to provide him coverage," Branson said.
The Monk family has faithfully attended Village Parkway Baptist for two years, the pastor said. Though a number of military personnel from Lackland Air Force Base attend the church, many do not join because reassignments keep them on the move. But their attendance and involvement in the congregation is encouraged and valued, Branson said.

Three men and two juveniles are behind bars Wednesday night following their arrests by Shreveport Police officers in connection with an unauthorized entry and aggravated assault on Tuesday.
The arrested included Jacorey Huggins, 21, of the 500 block of Egan Street, Charavious Coleman, 17, of the 400 block of West 65th Street, and David Green, 17, of the 300 block of West 69th Street in Shreveport. The identity of the two juveniles was not released. All three men were booked into the Shreveport City Jail.
Additional charges of aggravated assault were brought against David Green, while Jacorey Huggins was booked as a fugitive due to an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction.
The two juvenile suspects were transported and booked into the Caddo Parish Juvenile Detention Center and charged with unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling. Authorities credit the arrests of the offenders in part to the swift response of officers to the scene, cooperation from neighbors, along with the training and competence of K-9 resources.
The incident began shortly before 1:30 p.m., when Shreveport Police officers went to a home in the 200 block of West 69th Street in response to reports that a group of males, one allegedly armed with a hand gun, threatened bodily harm against a person who lived on the street.
Witnesses told police that the males later were seen running inside a home in the 300 block of West 69th Street. Police arriving to the house ran into the homeowner, who allowed police to search his residence.
After a K-9 unit arrived, three of the males complied with officer demands to come out. The two who remained were caught by K-9 Mico and his handler, Chris Yarborough, after the two did not come out on command.
Two juvenile suspects were treated for minor injuries resulting from a dog bit suffered during their capture.

So it looks like 2010 will be the year of Tablet Computers and E-Readers. The rumors about an upcoming new Apple device keep on spreading, large publishing houses are already presenting concepts and prototypes. Whenever and whatever exactly happens, it will definitely speed up the process of mobile overtaking desktop usage.
We have compiled and commented three promising concepts.
Sports Illustrated – Tablet Demo 1.5
Interesting is the form of video presentation here: two rather attached looking arms and hands are pointing to and moving across the device in a rather Monty Pythonesque fashion. But nevertheless, it is fascinating how detailed and apparently quite elaborated Time Warner's Time Inc., the largest US magazine publisher, presents a future idea. Or is it rather the innovation they are counting on to battle decreasing sales numbers and ad revenues? Since there is evidence that five publishers such as Time, News Corp. and Condé Nast etc. are joining forces to build a digital storefront for their print titles, it looks like these guys are trying really hard to have some ideas visualized and business models thought through to create some sort of negotiating basis for talking to Apple about their Tablet Computer plans (and yeah, Apple's known for rather restrictive and uncompromising business deals, see the iPhone).
This is the most designerly and also the best approach I have seen yet. In cooperation with London-based design firm Berg, publishing house Bonnier's R&D department released a conceptual video last week that simply blew my mind. It's not just what they present, but also the way they do (showing interactions in real life context, some of their design ideas seemingly projected on a table – to name two highlights). Just watch these 8 mind-blowing minutes of internet video below and you'll see what I mean – I'm confident:
Microsoft Courier
The Microsoft Courier is less a publishing platform, but more aimed to personal information management. As always, Microsoft is quite good in packaging and selling an idea – the flow and the mixing of finger and stylus touch interaction looks quite appetizing. The question remains: will this demo ever be turned into a real great product? At least, indications are spawning. And if so, will it fly or will it again suffer from Microsoft's innovation hex that had been put on them some years ago (remember Zune, the iPod killer)?
Social comments and analytics for this post…
This post was mentioned on Twitter by preciousforever: yeah, it's Sunday! the tablet innovation race http://tr.im/I8Ib…
So now this is a semi-commoditization of touch screen, products hitting main stream and the millions of consumers awaiting a more innovative way to get a digitized platform for day to day newspapers and magazine;
Come to think about it, this area in particular has lacked innovation in the final presentation part – i.e. replacement of the paper form publications – thou you will still find many vowing to be loyal to reading conventional paper book at a fireplace, – we will convert those guys later;
Save the environment campers do not be so happy about saving few trees cause these gadgets are not bio-degradable and would eventually cause more damage to the environment than chopping few trees;
I am just worried about which one to choose, obviously these gadget will not talk to each other, i.e. you buy a Sports Illustrated e-reader that's made exclusively for Sports Illustrated but you cannot read "I am almost certain" books made for Kindle or Nook or Sony or whatever brand they have out there;
And then why not port it to a tablet PC? Here is the thing if "touch Screen" technology becomes commoditized i.e. someone finds a cheap way to manufacture it than the next big thing is it will hit tablet PC and than what will be the fate of all of these fancy gadgets? So I would rather wait till that happens and I predict that the technology is commoditized within 1 or 2 years. So this will also give time to these companies – or other companies looking for an innovative products to sell – to start developing ways where I can read all my favorite e-books from a single gadget;
I agree, but it sure hasn't been a terribly impressive race so far — and worse, if Apple in fact releases a tablet end of January, we may see what happened with iPhone, where all developers migrate to one platform. ;)
I know what I want — commercial potential be damned:
* Lightweight, affordable tablet
* Multitouch control
* Open development
* Video output
* (ideally) USB
Think about it: with that setup, you'd have a portable rig you could use for live performance. In fact, so long as it supported open development, I think we could soon have something like Pd running on it, but with a shiny multitouch front-end for performance. :)
Thanks for the comments! I actually started writing a follow-up post regarding tablets which has a more critical undertone and these are aspects I didn't think of really but will think about further.
It's a really double edged topic, I think. On one hand I can go very euphoric about new forms of presentation and interaction (in terms of supposable mainstream adoption), like getting rid of mice and keyboards etc, commoditization of touch screens and *especially* all this opening up broad roads for new ideas and inventions that go a lot further. But then again, there's always an evil side waiting around the corner – energy consumption, where do all these things go when they're broken, closed vs. open source, and these new devices again being mainly (if not only) available to a privileged population as "gadgets" (another word for things we don't need, but always find good reasons why it's OK to get them regardless and why utility is overrated anyways).
Well, i'll stop and continue with that other post soon :)

This week, the Senate Tax Reform Committee began working on measures, including one that would expand the sales tax base while lowering the overall rate by half a percent.
Under the bill, shoppers would pay sales tax on individual clothing items costing more than $200 dollars. The first $200 would be exempt.
The committee did not take action on the plan.
The proposal was introduced last week by Sen. Terri Bonoff (DFL-Minnetonka), Sen. Chris Eaton (DFL-Brooklyn Center) and Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope).
Watch committee testimony on the proposal in the attached video by MNSenateMedia.
Do you think this plan is a good idea? Why or why not? Tell us your opinion in the comments area below.

In January of 2012, there were 42 listings sold in Walker County. That's a 68 percent increase over home sales for January 2011, when just 25 homes were sold. February through May also showed increases in home sales, although not all were as dramatic as January's increase.
June saw a slight slump in the number of listings sold in Walker County, but a dramatic increase in the price of homes sold. There were 31 homes sold, with a median sale price of $225,000, an increase of 104.5 percent over the price of homes sold last year.
Overall, Walker County has seen an approximately 10 percent increase in the number of homes sold so far this year and an increase of roughly 17 percent in median sales prices, according to the Multiple Listing Service. The current inventory of homes on the market dropped from 860 last year to approximately 792. That drop in inventory is despite an increase in new listings.
The number of new listings in the market could also be considered indicative of increasing consumer confidence in the housing market. June saw 104 new housing listings, a 79.3 percent increase over last year's numbers.
James Ann Martin, of All Four Real Estate, said that some of the reasons she believes the market has improved in Walker County is that local realtors from different agencies are willing to work together and come up with new solutions to network, sell homes and find what their customers want.
"We're always looking for creative ways to better serve our clients," Martin said.
One example of that was a recent Open House/Progressive Lunch. Realtors from All Four, White Pepper Real Estate, Byars Realty, Simmons Realty and Lawson Real Estate all came together for a series of open houses, all held in one day.
Each stop on the tour provided a portion of the day's lunch. The first house served cold drinks, the second location served appetizers, the third offered a main course, the fourth served another cold drink and the last featured a Make Your Own Sundae Bar.
"It was a blast," Steve Ryan, from All Four said. "It was a wonderful thing to bring the agents together and give them a chance to talk about the properties they have and what their customers are looking for."

As Finbar Furey and Mundy battle it out for a place in the finale of The Hit, Derek talks to the show's creator about what it takes to make a winning TV format. And we hear the extraordinary tale of the football manager appointed to FC Baku whose experience was solely in the computer game "Football Manager"!
The big finale of RTÉ's The Hit takes place THIS Friday. Presented by Nicky Byrne and Aidan Power, The Hit is the latest music reality show format – and it's been doing relatively well, with a quarter of a million people tuning in each week.
And that's just in Ireland. It's about to travel around the world!
Finding a winning TV format can mean big bucks. Imagine if you were the person behind shows like these The X Factor, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Big Brother.
If you had thought those up, right now a butler would probably be serving you up afternoon tea on a silver platter and a helicopter would be waiting in your back yard to transport you to dinner this evening.
Yes, one clever idea can become your intellectual property and for TV producers, finding 'The Big One' is a bit of a quest for the Holy Grail!
Philip Kampff is the creator of The Hit and the owner of Vision Independent Productions and he joins Derek in studio today, as does Declan Jones, Head of Development with Vision Independent Productions, whose job on The Hit was to listen to and whittle down the 1000 songs received into the show...
To find out how to download the two songs, Mundy's The Jigsaw Man and Finbar Furey's Last Great Love Song, visit www.rte.ie/tv/voting/thehitdownload.

Football lovers will be delighted to welcome in the new Premier League season after a summer off. There are new managers, new players – a lot to talk about around the watercooler or 'down the pub'.
But, in all the soccer trivia, here's a question that might catch out even the most devoted footie fan: who is the world's youngest football club manager and what team do they manage?
Well the answer is: Vugar Huseynzade, he's 22, and he manages FC Baku in Azerbaijan.
He got the job at age 21 – and, if that wasn't extraordinary enough, his prior experience was limited to playing a computer game called Football Manager!!
Vugar is on the line from Baku, and Ciaran Brennan is on the line from London. He is the PR Manager for Sports Interactive who make the Football Manager game...
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Crooks steal bikes from keen cyclist
5:00pm Thursday 8th November 2012 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
A KEEN cyclist was left feeling sick after seven of his bikes were stolen.
Burglars targeted the Ipswich Road, Colchester, home of Glen Welburn last night.
Glen discovered his garage door open this morning when he returned from work at Polestar and discovered the bikes missing.
He estimates the second-hand value of the bikes as about £10,000 but Glen, 36, also has emotional attachment to some of them as he has built them by hand and can list every part.

A three-member appeals panel vacated the suspensions of the players allegedly involved in the Saints' bounty scandal, Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated first reported.
The case has been remanded back to commissioner Roger Goodell to for "expeditious redetermination" of penalties if there is evidence of an "intent to injure." Goodell only has the jurisdiction to punish the players if the "intent to injure" can be proved, according to Gabe Feldman of the NFL Network.
The panel stated that the System Arbitrator has jurisdiction to impose penalties on salary-cap issues and Goodell has jurisdiction to impose penalties "for the players' agreement to seek to injure opposing players."
The players affected are Saints LB Jonathan Vilma (suspended one year), Saints DE Will Smith (three games), Browns LB Scott Fujita (four games) and free-agent DE Anthony Hargrove (eight games). Vilma likely would not be available to play Sunday because of a knee injury, but Smith and Fujita are expected to play.
The NFL released the following response to the decision, per Albert Breer of NFL Network: "Consistent with the panel's decision, Commissioner Goodell will, as directed, make an expedited determination of the discipline imposed for violating the NFL's pay-for-performance/bounty rule. Until that determination is made, the four players are reinstated and eligible to play starting this weekend." League spokesman Greg Aiello told Larry Holder of the Times-Picayune that Goodell would not rule before Sunday's games.
The NFLPA's statement is as follows: "We are pleased that the appeals panel ruled unanimously to lift the players' suspensions immediately. We will continue to vigorously protect the rights of all players."

Bishop Peak's best aid route? Maybe Bishop Peak's only aid route. Bring your aid tools and don't forget a hook. To reduce rope drag, set up an interim anchor at the edge of the lowest roof. Clip into the anchor, then pull the rope through the draws and drop it back down to your belayer. Enjoy the exposure as you weight your aiders and lean back behind you to clip the first bolt on the upper roof. It's a real "pucker"!
Start in the lowest cave and work your way upside down out the first roof.
Draws, slings, hooks. You'll figure it out when you get there.

Hi there,
Have been using the Sony Ericsson SDK for 5 years now, and to debug is simply hitting the 'Debug' button in eclipse. Doing that will start the emulator and auto start your application by running startApp()
How do you debug with Nokia SDK 2.0?
When I hit the debug button, an emulator pops up (the one that comes default with the offline Nokia SDK 2.0 version) and I get the date and time screen. Correcting the details I get the grid screen. Going into files or games shows an empty folder.

The name of this organization shall be: Clarion University Student Veterans Association.
The purpose of the Clarion University Student Veteran's Association is to serve as an advocate for student veterans by:
supporting veterans in the cultural transition from military service to higher education
working with military unit representatives to address student veteran concerns
providing networking opportunities and educational opportunities to prepare veterans for their post-college careers
improve retention among veterans by providing a supportive social environment
in keeping with the spirit of service in the United States Department of Defense, this organization is strictly apolitical and seeks only to support student veterans and not to promote one political agenda over another
A supporting purpose of the Clarion University Student Veteran's Association is to provide community service opportunities for student veterans to continue with their lifetime of service.
Section 1. – Members. Full membership in the Clarion University Student Veteran's Association is reserved for current students at Clarion University (any location, any amount of credits, distance learning or face to face). The privilege of full membership is the ability to participate in the voting for the officers and shaping any adjustments to the bylaws as the association matures.
Associate membership in the Clarion University Student Veteran's Association is unrestricted. Associate members are welcome to participate in the life of the association, engage in association sponsored events, but may not vote nor hold office.
Officers of the association are limited to full members who also hold veteran status in either the U.S. or foreign military organizations.
Section 2. – Fees. Annual membership dues may be incorporated into the organization but must be subject to a majority vote of those present at a general membership meeting and approved through the bylaw change process.
Section 3. – Removal of Members. Any member who seeks to make partisan political statements through the group or seeks to use the group or attempts to represent the group for the advancement of a specific political agenda may be removed from full membership by a unanimous vote of the executive committee.
Members who refuse to honor the colors of the United States of America may be removed by a unanimous vote of the executive committee.
Recommendations for removal of a member may be presented to any member of the executive committee. After consultation with the association advisor, substantiated requests will go before a formal hearing of the executive committee The formal hearing may be incorporated into any regular meeting of the executive committee in order to expedite the process. Members who are considered for removal must be informed via university email that they are being considered for removal and must be informed of the issues that have raised this situation to the executive committee.
Members of the executive committee may be considered for removal from the organization, at the recommendation of any full member to the executive committee or to the advisor of the association. The removal of an executive committee member must be presented to the membership at large and requires a super majority vote of 2/3 of those in full membership, present to vote.
Section 1. – Officers and duties
President. The president of the association must be a veteran of the U.S. or foreign military organization. The president provides direction and leadership to meet the stated purpose of the organization. The president presides over meetings and casts the tie-breaking vote on any proposal before the executive committee or general membership. President serves for a 12-month term January-December. Serves as President of the executive committee.
Operations Officer. Assumes the role of president in the absence of the president. Is the coordinating officer for all campus-wide events sponsored by the association. Elected for a 12-month term January-December. Serves on the executive committee.
Secretary. Maintains all records of the organization. Records the minuets of meetings and presents meeting minuets to the executive committee for approval. The secretary ensures approved minuets are published and available to the general membership.
Treasurer. Maintains all financial records, requests and disperses funds with the approval of the executive committee.
Communications/Technology. Maintains web presence, coordinates Skype or other distance connectivity of meetings and events with distance members, responsible for coordinating the production of advertising for organizational and university-wide events.
Section 2. – Election of Officers. Nominations for officers of the association shall be made during the first regularly scheduled general membership meeting in November of any given year. Elections shall occur at the first regularly scheduled general membership meeting of the association following the Thanksgiving break. The currently serving president and the association advisor will serve as the election committee, create and count the ballots.
Section 3. – Balloting process. Officers will be elected by secret ballot and must have a majority vote of full members. Distance members may make their choices known via email or other online method. Every reasonable effort will be made to ensure the secrecy of online voting however only the confidentiality of online ballots can be expected.
Section 1. – Selection. The campus advisor serves as a point of continuity for the association. They are selected among the faculty, staff or administrators currently serving the University. Veteran status is not a requirement for the advisor however it is highly encouraged. Nominating and electing an individual to serve as the advisor shall be incorporated into the election process for officers of the organization.
Section 2. – Role of the Advisor. Due to the multiple responsibilities that veteran students have, the campus advisor may provide direction for the executive committee. The campus advisor also serves as a mediator for membership issues and challenges on executive committee membership. The campus advisor also assures the validity of officer elections and arranges for and counts votes from members who are online students.
Section 3. – Removal of the Advisor. The advisor of the association may resign their position at any time. It is expected that the departing advisor provide a minimum of 30 days notice to the executive committee. Removing a fairly elected advisor by members of the association follows the same process as removing a member of the executive committee.
Section 1. General membership meetings. The general membership of the association will meet a minimum of monthly in the fall semester and as needed in the spring semester. The executive committee will meet monthly throughout the fall and spring semester. The executive committee and any sub-committees will plan, promote, and execute all meetings and events of the association.
Section 2. Quorum. Quorum will be reached for an executive committee meeting when more than 50% officers are present. Due to the distributed nature of the student veterans, quorum for full membership decisions faces a challenge of both space and time. Quorum may be reached through any technological service that permits individuals to play an active role in the meeting (synchronous vs. asynchronous technologies). As this is an organization in its infancy, quorum at any meeting requiring a vote of the full members shall be reached with at least 30% of the full membership.
Section 3. Majority. With the exception of the removal of an association officer, a majority is defined by a simple majority of full members present, including those present via technological resources. A supermajority is required for the removal of an executive officer as noted in Article 3, Section 3.
Section 4. Procedures. Roberts Rules of Order will provide the guiding principles for the conduct of every meeting.
Section 5. Special Meetings. Special meetings may be called by the executive committee. A minimum of 7 days notice is required for a special meeting. Postings on facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media, plus a general membership email will be sent out announcing a special meeting.

For the past few days I am facing these issues
The style sheets does not load most of the time. Which makes it difficult to read.
If loaded most of the times the images displayed for one user is not his and is of others who has made a post.
Past two days onwards for some link when I click open in new tab, it asks if the file has to be saved.
I doubt that some changes has been made to the DiBo recently. I faced the issue on FF and Chrome on different machines.

The city of Chicago is letting residents know about automated speed cameras that will go up later this year around schools, parks and other places where children congregate.
The Chicago Department of Transportation has started a campaign to educate residents about the cameras. Affected areas are within 1/8th of a mile from parks or schools. There will be 1,500 "Children's Safety Zones" across the city and about 300 will have speed cameras. City laws will set speed limits at between 20 and 30 mph depending on the time of day.
Only warnings will be issued for the first 30 days the cameras are up. First-time offenders will receive a warning, after that fines range from $35 to $100.

Freehand Miami, the upscale hostel in Miami Beach, has expanded with more hotel-style options.
Owners of the property that took over the old Indian Creek Hotel, 2727 Indian Creek Drive, acquired an adjacent building at 233 27th St. early last year for just under $1.5 million. After renovations and redecorating, the new building — called the "Guest House" — opened for business this week with 15 private rooms.
The Guest House, which includes a king suite and other king rooms, joins the main building, which has 62 rooms and about 250 beds. Broken Shaker, the acclaimed bar, is located in the courtyard with an expanded food menu.
Still in the works is a restaurant and indoor bar in yet another building, which Freehand representatives hope will open by summer or fall.
Roy Alpert, Freehand brand director, said that with the new addition, "we now sort of have this perfect square and are able to create more of a campus feel with the courtyard tying everything in together."
