My Vision
Written by Mean Lean on Wednesday, 19 December 2012 19:15
Football and gambling have a long and – thankfully for the most part – healthy relationship with each other; from supporters wagering on the outcomes of various football issues at sports betting sites, to football players and managers attending horse racing meets for relaxation and even owning horses themselves. Furthermore, in recent years, gambling companies have increasingly moved into actually sponsoring teams, a development which seems natural given both the already strong links between the two, and the fact that modern forms of gambling like online casino and sports betting are just as popular as football.
Now one of the major forces in the world of online casino – Jackpot City (JPC) – is rumoured to be about to announce a sponsorship deal with a Premier League club. The club at the centre of the rumours has not been identified yet but, given what big business the Premier League is these days, any club from within that league will represent a great move for JPC. After all, the exposure that the company will get from this would likely introduce a lot more football supporters to the JPC website, and given that they will find football-based games like the Game On slot there, the chances are that they will like it. the games are even available wherever you are, as you can play via your phone in http://www.jackpotcity.co.uk/mobile-casino/iphone/ and even download the games to your prone or tablet.
However, if this rumour does turn out to be true, it will also be a great move for whichever club is involved, because any sponsorship deal with a company as successful as JPC is going to be worth big money to the club. Furthermore JPC is also a company with a genuinely global reach, meaning that any such deal would increase awareness of the club in other countries as well, suggesting that it would open up new customer bases for both parties. Therefore, whether this particular rumour is true or not, further sponsorship deals between online casino sites like JPC and Premier League teams can only be a matter of time.

09-Jan-2013 11:17 | | vc11 - adsI have no problem with ads, but passing them off as articles is shameful, especially ads for a gambling site. You do your fellow Gooners a disservice.
09-Jan-2013 11:27 | | MeanLeanvc11, you are entitled to your opinion but from take a look at it from my side.
Firstly, I removed this from newsnow by adding swear words and then deleting them. Newsnow doesn't allow articles with swearing in it.
I have had this site since 2005 and have put far more time into it than I have received in financial gain. A lot, lot more time.
All you have done is clicked onto a link, read a small part (probably) and then decided not to read the rest. I am sure that hasn't caused you many short or long term problems.
This site is a free service to anyone who clicks on it, I do not charge for anything on this site so if a chance comes up for me to make money that I bloody well need right now, I will take it. This is a one off type of article and I make no apologies whatsoever for rewarding myself for a lot of time that I have put into this site for good or for bad.
09-Jan-2013 11:46 | | vc11 - point takenI appreciate how much effort must go into the site.
I guess the reason I reacted in that way was because it was a gambling site, and gambling is in my opinion a huge social ill, with huge financial consequences and a high rate of addiction.
However I have my opinion and you have yours. It isn't my place to order you to stop advertising gambling sites and I wouldn't dream of doing so. I'm just an appreciative reader who feels uncomfortable at the way gambling is portrayed in these articles.
Anyway, my overall view of the site is still positive, and I offer my thanks for the effort you put into it.
09-Jan-2013 12:12 | | MeanLeanvc11,
I see where you are coming from and to be honest, I didn't think much in depth before accepting to publish the article. It will not be a regular feature that's for sure.
Thank you for reading the actual Arsenal content. I am hoping to write more often and also have other contributing. Did you read the recent piece by Educated Gooner?
Fancy writing your own articles for fellow Gooners to read? Click Your Vision section.

COMMUNITY VOICES | Open Saint Paul: Prioritizing the Citywide Bikeways Plan
How should the City prioritize this plan? What criteria should be used to identify the greatest need or highest-priority corridors?
Open Saint Paul is an online forum for civic engagement. Read what others are saying about important Saint Paul topics, then post your own statement. City staff and officials will read the statements and incorporate them into their decision-making process. Click here for more information on Open Saint Paul.
The City of Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan establishes a goal to increase the number of people using bicycles to travel around the city. To help accomplish this goal, the City has developed a draft of a "citywide bikeways plan," a document which is intended to guide the development of Saint Paul bicycle infrastructure into the future.
Please review the draft of the plan at stpaul.gov/bikeplan and let us know what criteria you think the city should use in determining how to implement the plan.
From Ryan Broshar inside Ward 3:
I think the more bikeways we can have, the more healthy, active, and fun communities we will have. These simple changes will draw in the next generation of residents and will lead to economic development via talent attraction for the city.
More specifically, the north/south biking options in Mac Groveland/Highland Park is severely lacking. A bicycle boulevard needs to be made on Saratoga St and a bike lane added to Hamline.
From Bill Johnston inside Ward 4:
I think the bike plan should be prioritized based on 1) how many accidents and near-accidents it is estimated to eliminate, 2) how many people it is estimated will become bike commuters and 3) how much it is expected to improve the quality of life of families and others who currently cycle - in that order.
From Peter Breyfogle outside Saint Paul:
Be sure to include plans to get across the major blockages created by interstate highways, railroad tracks, etc... These connections usually force bikes onto uncomfortable and unsafe infrastructure. These are places it is critical to have bike lanes and signage.
Be sure to include a plan to sign the bike routes like they do in San Francisco. This is very helpful and they can be seen in winter and by car drivers. Car drivers don't yell get off the road as often or drive as poorly on routes that are clearly marked as bike routes.
Prioritize the work so it gets done as fast as possible. Do the painting ASAP and coordinate the rest of the work with road repairs like mill and overlays. Bike routes on poor roads is no big win.
From Rashelle Brown inside Ward 2:
A well-thought out plan consisting of major east-west and north-south routes connecting Downtown to: Summit Bike Lane, University Avenue Bike Blvd (2 blocks north, I understand), the MRT (Shepard Rd), and Bruce Vento/Phalen Blvd paths is needed. Specifically, getting into and around Downtown is currently hazardous, due to the glaring lack of marked bicycle lanes. I feel this should take priority in order to accommodate and encourage commuting into the city's job center, as well as offering safe ways for downtown residents to get to the pathways leading to other Saint Paul neighborhoods and beyond.
From Red Rider inside Ward 5:
The round corridor makes sense as a recreational route, but it isn't much good for commuting and running errands. I don't see any through-bikeways to get from Dale/Larpenter to Dale/Grand, or to Western/Selby for instance. The north-south routes are limited or involve zig-zagging on busy streets.
From Laura Nichols inside Ward 3:
I would like to see more access to biking lanes in those areas of the city where the cost of transportation is an issue...ie Shepard Davern and the east side. Better access to bike paths could really improve a family's access to a better job, especially in low income neighborhoods. Biking is great for the soul and exercise, but for some of our neighbors, access to biking paths could make a huge financial difference.

Running the SystemC TLM2 Examples
This short tutorial is for those of you eager to run TLM 2 examples inside SCLive 3.0.
I will take an arbitrary example here to illustrate the simple procedure.
1) Open a terminal window and navigate to the examples directory:
cd ~/software/TLM-2009-07-15/examples/tlm/lt/
2) In there you will find the src (source directory) as well as the build-unix directory. Go to the build-unix directory and execute the makefile.
cd build-unix
make run
3) This will compile and link the example. Finally this will run the resulting executable (lt.exe) example inside the terminal window. Alternatively you can run the executable yourself by typing:
./lt.exe | less
4) To clean up the directory simply execute the command:
make clean
Et Voila!

Adding Modules to SCLive Manually
The previous video highlighted how one could add modules using provided scripts. In this next video we will add modules manually from the http://www.slax.org
Essentially SCLive allows the dynamic addition and removal of modules. To do so, you will have to use the "activate <module_file_name>" and "deactivate <module_file_name>" .
If you are running SCLive in a persistant mode the modules added dynamically will be kept after the powering off SCLive.
David Cabanis
Adding new modules via script
This video tutorial illustrates how to add new modules (Opera, Flash, Acrobat reader) to SCLive via the provided script.
Et Voila!
David Cabanis.
SCLive 3.0 Release Candidate is Out
The official release candidate is ready for download in the "Download" section. Please be patient with the file server, if you can't get the file right away please try again later.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated, you can contact me at davidcabanis AT gmail DOT com .
Have fun with the release candidate, I'm planing the final release by the end of October if all goes well.
David Cabanis.
Creating a Persistant SCLive 3.0 on a USB Flash Drive
Why do we want to do that?
Persistant installations of liveCD gives us the best of both worlds. You are able to boot SCLive from most computers (LiveCD feature) but you can also modify the data as well as the system files.
This is almost like a hard drive install with the added benefit to be able to use it on most machine without any additional installation required.
In the context of SCLive, any modification that you will make to the existing projects will be safely kept on the USB Flash Drive.
The following video details one of the many ways to achieve a persistant installation.
Et Voila!

Okay, so I have about 25 layouts on this particular drawing that already have a default page setup assigned to them. I just created a new page setup and want to apply it to these layouts...but I cannot. I can select the right setup in the publish window but it does not stay current after publishing.
The problem also comes up if I do a "-purge" or wblock the entire drawing as to remove weird elements. The pagesetups then show as missing.
If I create a new drawing and setup the pagesetup for the first time AutoCAD will ask if I would like to apply to all layouts. Where is this option for existing drawings?
PUBLISH does not overwrite individual pagesetups: if you want to continue to use PUBLISH, you need to save the sheetsset in PUBLISH. Explore getting into SheetSet Manager for management of large collections of project files as you have.
To apply an imported pagesetup to a layout while in PLOT command, select/double-click it from the pulldown, then APPLY TO LAYOUT button to make it stick.
If you need to do multiple at once, you need to automate: since I missed if you noted whether the 25 are one file, or 25 files, you can try a search around these Autodesk forums for Lisp routines to do it such as:
and many more.
Thanks, Dean
All 25 layouts are part of one file. It just amazes me that AutoCAD would allow you to assign to all layouts in a new drawing but this cannot be invoked for existing layouts... It's even more strange that the only way to do it is by lisp or similar for existing layouts.
This should be an option for the "Check standards" feature as well.

Phenacodus (Greek for "obvious teeth"); pronounced fee-NACK-oh-duss
Plains of North America
Historical Epoch:
Early-Middle Eocene (55-45 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
About 5 feet long and 50-75 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Long, straight legs; long tail; narrow snout
About Phenacodus:
Phenacodus was one of the "plain vanilla" mammals of the early Eocene epoch, a medium-sized, vaguely deer- or horse-like herbivore that evolved a mere 10 million years after the dinosaurs had gone extinct. Its importance lies in the fact that it seems to have occupied the root of the ungulate family tree; Phenaocodus (or a close relative) may have been the hoofed mammal from which later perissodactyls (odd-toed ungulates) and artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates) both evolved. This creature's name, Greek for "obvious teeth," derives from its, well, obvious teeth, which were well-suited to grinding up the tough vegetation of its North American habitat.

News: Flo Rida's Sophomore Disc On The Way, Release Date Confirmed
Saturday, Jan 10, 2009 1:00PM
Flo Rida's upcoming album R.O.O.T.S. (Routes of Overcoming the Struggle) will be released this spring.
The follow-up to last year's Mail On Sunday has locked in some of his production team.
The "Low" hitmaker has been in the studio working on his sophomore release R.O.O.T.S. -- the rapper has already worked with producers J Rock, Dr. Luke and DJ Montay, who produced Flo's #1 hit "Low." (Official Flo)
Flo Rida's rise to fame came from his 2007 hit, "Low."
The "Low" video debuted in early November on BET and MTV, inspiring nearly 100 YouTube videos of dancing fans. According to Atlantic director of digital marketing Brian Dackowski, the label quickly initiated partnerships with social networking sites like Imeem, where fans can upload their own photos and remixes of the "Low" clip. (Reuters)
Aside from the album's release, Flo Rida is slated to perform at today's Adult Video News (AVN) Awards in Las Vegas.
"We're extremely pleased that Flo Rida will be performing at this year's show," AVN Publications President Paul Fishbeinsaid. "I think with adding a performance by Flo Rida to the mix you can see that we're making good on our vision." (SOHH)
R.O.O.T.S. is set to drop April 7 via Poe Boy/Atlantic.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) –The Lubbock Police Department is still investigating a 36-year-old woman who was found dead on her front porch Thursday morning. Police on Friday, says that the Lubbock County Medical Examiner's office says there were no signs of foul play.
The woman has been identified as Courtney Kast and was found in the 5000 block of 38th Street. The Lubbock Police said they got the call shortly after 9 o'clock when Kast's employer, SuddenLink, said she didn't show up to work. Police responded to the scene minutes later.
"She was missed during the day, so when people began to check on her welfare that's when her body was discovered," said Captain Greg Stevens, Lubbock Police Department.
Right now it is being called a suspicious death. They're still investigating and determining what happened to see if it is weather related, accidental or possibly criminal.
"Anytime anyone of that age in this kind of situation dies without some obvious or apparent cause and it's an unintended death, we're obviously going to consider this somewhat suspicious to make sure we are being an investigation and are conducting one," said Stevens.
When police arrived on the scene they found her unresponsive and her purse was lying next to her. "And certainly when we arrived there was no one else present," said Stevens.
Homicide investigators were also called out. And police said a car was towed from the scene, they are still investigating if that was related. But police said weather could be a factor.
"It's extremely cold temperatures right now so that certainly could have played a roll. It's just way too early to tell." said Stevens.
KCBD NewsChannel 11will continue to follow this investigation and bring you details as soon as LPD releases more information.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSBills Coming In From Flap Over Plants Case
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: May. 23, 2014 4:58 PM EDT
Updated: May. 23, 2014 6:42 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Kallie Cart) -- The costs to taxpayers are starting to come home in the flap over Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants' domestic violence charges.
Bills from the special prosecution team, appointed to deal with domestic cases involving children, are coming in to the county commission.
Top special prosecutor Don Morris has billed almost 119 hours at $200 an hour. County commissioners are wondering if the resolution of Plants' criminal charges through a pre-trial diversion has resolved the conflict preventing his office from handling domestic cases.
Judge Duke Bloom said he can't comment on a pending case. Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said he blames Plants "self-inflicted" conduct, and not the courts, but he said it's getting expensive.
"The meter to date - the taxpayers to date, have been stuck with at least $30,000 for the two special prosecutors," Carper said. "I would anticipate another $10,000 that's in the pipe lines, so to speak. I would say about $40,000 was wasted so far. "
Carper is hoping that a ruling from the Supreme Court on Plants' future before the current term ends could clarify things. While Bloom ordered a special prosecutor, the commission negotiated the rate of pay, and now they're paying it.

Welcome to Our Website
Small cap stock selection is a bit different from your average stock pick on the NYSE. These are much smaller stocks in size and price, but the amount of information available about them can also be scarce.
At The Stock Detective, perform due diligence on small cap stocks that many firms would simply overlook—they're only interested in the big brand names that make clients feel "safe." But the reality is that, particularly in recessionary times, small cap stocks beat T-bills, bonds and the S&P by a wide margin! Would you rather have a blue chip with 4% dividends, or something like our most recent pick—LEXG—which went up almost 1000% ?
Not every pick we discover will go up, and we highly recommend doing your own due diligence. But as our readers will attest, our regular stock alerts, market insights, and exclusive special reports are a good place to start.
Jackson W., Dallas: "To the analyst team, I offer my sincere thanks. I don't know how you guys do it, but I'm glad you do!"
Nick K., New Orleans: "The Stock Detective's LEXG pick was unbelievable. It just kept going up! Best trade of the year."
Chris A., New Orleans: "I didn't even know what a two-bagger was before The Stock Detective. Now I'm looking for my first THREE-BAGGER!"

Orange Orange is modern and clean. Used mostly as an accent color, orange is ambitious and welcomes everyone into a room. Make your customers and visitors feel invigorated when they enter your space.

3Joe Francis Got His Mansion Taken Away From Him
Joe Francis got the justice smackdown he so richly deserved, and it keeps on rolling. The bank just took his $11.4 million mansion, according to TMZ. They've got more details, as they always do when it comes to Joe Francis, who probably has them saved on his phone under "favorites."
According to JPMorgan Chase Bank … Joe has slacked off on mortgage payments to the tune of $127,686.91.
In addition to "Girls Gone Wild" filing for bankruptcy … Joe's also been ordered to personally pay $19 million to Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn. And we're not even gonna mention the jail sentence hanging over his head.
About 2 hours later, Francis called TMZ saying that his accountant is, "going to take care of the problem."
Maybe ask your BFFs and Forbes #5 highest-earning celebrity couple, Kim & Kanye, to help you out. I don't think your accountant is going to be enough.

(VOV) -A get-together was held in Hanoi on August 24 to mark Hungary's Independence Day (August 20) and Vietnam's National Day (September 2).
Vietnam-Hungary Friendship Association (VHFA) Chairman Nguyen Dang Vang highlighted the achievements the two countries have recorded in politics, economics, , culture, science, technology, and education.
He noted that the ties of friendship and cooperation between the two countries have developed well in various areas over the years through their high-level reciprocal visits.
He expressed his belief that such relationship will further grow in the future in the interest of the two peoples and for peace, stability, cooperation and development in the two regions and the rest of the world.
VHFA representatives reviewed the association's recent initiatives facilitating relationship-building between Vietnamese agencies and businesses and their Hungarian partners.
The association has also mobilised its membership and sponsors to fund scholarships for children of Agent Orange/dioxin victims in Vietnam.

Linux dedicated server and SilverStripe expertise
28 April 2011 at 12:14pm
We have a new SilverStripe installation created on our behalf by a web development firm. We are not happy with the backend operation of the site. PageTree listing can take more than a minute to load. The listing of tags for articles -- we have more than 200 tags -- is nearly as bad and since we must add four to 10 tags for every article, the time consumed in this backend work is extremely frustrating.
I see that SilverStripe.org has a Developer Network, but I see no way for users to interact with that resource. So here I am in the "General Questions" section asking how I might solicit help on this.
What I would like is to have someone with expertise in both Linux server administration and SilverStripe assess my current server and my SilverStripe installation and offer options for improving the backend issues I've described. Would a faster processor or more server RAM improve performance? Is there a better SilverStripe option for the issues we're experiencing.
We rent an entry-level dedicated Linux server from Hostgator. We are free to make any adjustments or install additional software on the server.
We are a nonprofit and our funds are limited, but we would be willing to pay someone who has the expertise we need. We need an estimate of the cost to perform this work.

Hi there John,
I run a company called Better Brief and we specialise in SilverStripe and linux server management. I'm sure we'd be able to help.
The only stumbling block would be that we're London, UK based.
If you're interested, give us an email (information available on our site).

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Warner Bros.
School is finally out, which means it is finally SUMMER! That also means that more than likely I have three really bored kids already, and I am already searching for great things to entertain us that won't bore me or the kids. Since my boys are practically teens their interests rarely include the park, or play area anymore. They are all about playing videos, going to the book store digging to through comics, and of course movies. The problem with movies is finding one that everyone can agree on. I have found that we enjoy watching action movies the most.
Actually we really enjoy watching movies together, some of the boys all time favorite movies to watch are:
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid (we like passing around the cheese touch!)
- Ghostbuster (any of them)
- The Avengers
- Karate Kid
- Teen Wolf
- Battleship
- Honey I Shrunk The Kids
- Daddy Day Care
- Daddy Day Camp
- Spiderman
- Hancock
- I, Robot (Can you tell that we love Will Smith?)
- Avatar
- Jurassic Park
- Mrs. Doubtfire
- Hunger Games
- Transformers
- Night at the Museum
- The Haunted Mansion
- Superman Returns
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- The dark Night
- X-men
- Men in Black (any of them)
- Warm Bodies
- The Host
- Thor
- Edward Scissorhands
We have only a few movies this summer that we plan to see though, our most anticipated summer movie has to be Man of Steel. We have been Superman fans for as long as I can remember, the boys have loved Superman even when they were very small, and after we watched the trailers I can see Man of Steel will bean incredible movie, and only make us bigger fans.
However, the boys leave for Florida on the 20th so we have very limited time to go and see the movie. Luckily for me, for the first time EVER I can purchase Man of Steel tickets at at any Walmart in the Electronics Department (available in 2D or 3D). Which means that I can grab some tickets to see the movie whenever I am grocery shopping this Friday! Talk about super convenient.
By buying them now at Walmart and I will be able to go to the premiere movie showing on June 13th at 7pm, thats before the movie debuts nationwide if you're wondering. Thats pretty awesome, but thats not it- by purchasing the ticket I also get an exclusive digital comic book written by David S. Goyer, the author of Man of Steel (did I mention my kids LOVE comics, the are going to be SO excited). But wait…. there is MORE, by purchasing these tickets you will also get an exclusive opportunity to pre-order an HD digital download or Blu-Ray copy of the film.
Go to your local Walmart
Visit the electronics department
Purchase your EXCLUSIVE Man of Steel prescreening tickets (available in 2D or 3D)
Take your family to the theater location noted on your ticket and watch the EXCLUSIVE 7 p.m. premiere of Man of Steel on June 13th!

A lot of the talking heads in sports have never had much love for Purdue, and that is what it is. I'm not sure that Purdue will ever be a media darling, nor am I sure that I would ever want them to be. Consequently, Purdue gets discounted, underestimated, and downright cut down at times by the media elite. I suppose we should just be grateful that they even remember our players' names after they're done with the requisite circle jerk they perform on Duke, Kentucky, UConn, and OSU.
So all that said - anyone want to take a stab at who's responsible for this quote?
"Hummel got a standing ovation at Mackey Arena. He should get an applause wherever his career ends in the NCAAs. He's been as good for the game as any player in the country the past five years."
Perhaps you've ready this article already, but I found it quite surprising.

I researched the place on Tripadvisor and read praise for room 306 so I requested it and got it: wonderful! and more than I expected:a spacious sunny apartment with lots of typical Parisian windows onto a fountain and square. Staff were always professional and helpful, their indications for fast orientation on the Metro were invaluable. - Anonymous
This is a beautiful hotel. The pictures on their web site are exactly what the rooms and common areas look like. The furnishings were very top of the line and everything was spotless. The beds were very comfortable and the temperature in the room was perfect. The staff could not have been more helpful and were extremely knowledgable about everything. All their recommendations were perfect. - Anonymous
The location was fabulous, the beds were incredible and the staff were over the top. - Susan
At last a truly excellent hotel in Paris that doesn't cost €500 per
night. With excellent, helpful, pleasant staff and attention to detail.
The rooms are quirky, genuinely interesting and well thought out.
I will be back again. - Anonymous
Probably the most charming staff any time anywhere - Anonymous
The staff was so accommodating and friendly. We had an extra person join us in the room, they were able to give us a suite, they got us reservations for a show that was booked when we tried to call etc. The breakfast that is included was great!! Frederick and the hotel staff couldn't have made our stay nicer!!!! The hotel is centrally located to all the tourist attractions as well as great shopping. - Anonymous
Great, brand new hotel, very clean and lovely simple but designed decor. Perfect base for a city break. Can't recommend enough. - Anonymous


text: I'm curious to know everybody's opinion on which direction we should take in the draft. I personally think McLemore would be the best fit because of his potential, his shooting, and our lack of promising prospects at either guard position. Noel is too risky and reaching for Burke just because we are in need of a "PG of the future" just doesn't seem like the right move because while he is clearly one of the best players in college, his NBA ceiling is very limited. I'm also a fan of Oladipo if our pick falls out of the top 3. But this is just my opinion and now I want to know yours. GO !!!

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself.
- Dwight Lyman Moody
A man can define many things beautifully in his life, but his character is one beautiful thing that can define him instantly and completely.
Character is doing what you don't want to do but know you should do.
- Joyce Meyer
Integrity is the heart of character, don't lose it.
Thoughts lead on to purposes;
Purposes go forth in action;
Actions form habits;
Habits decide character;
And character fixes our destiny.
The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously and have somebody find out.
- Oscar Wilde
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
- C.S. Lewis
Be the type of person you want to meet.

There is a culture for everything. Culture of win, culture of lose, lie, patience, respect, relationships, stupid, smart, care, fight, speak, think, organizing, planing, cheating, love, hate, cheap. So and so and so. You choose your cultures to build your personality and yourself. So start with culture of smart choices.

New Jersey
gets an "F" in funding for tobacco prevention.
That's according to the American Lung Association's state of
tobacco control 2013 report. The report says that New Jersey receives $997 million in tobacco–related revenue annually, but it spends only 2.2% of what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends to fund tobacco
prevention and quit smoking programs.
The state did receive an "A" for smoke free air, a
"B" in cigarette tax, and a "D" in cessation coverage.
According to the American Lung Association, tobacco causes an
estimated 11,201 deaths in New Jersey each year and costs the state's
economy $5.6 billion in healthcare.

If, for any reason, they receive no such instructions, Library users must leave the Library building at once by the nearest exit. Failure to leave the building after the emergency warning siren has been sounded is an offence in terms of these Rules and offenders will be proceeded against as in 1.10 above.
1.12 Books and other library materials on loan from the Main Library may be returned to the Library using the Book Return slot to the right of the main entrance. Only material which fits into the Return slot without risk of damage may be returned in this way.
1.13 Books on loan from the Cory Library and the Departmental Libraries must be returned there during opening hours.
2.1 Rhodes staff and student members of the Library have access to its general and specialised collections, online databases, the inter-library loans service, the facilities of the Cory Library for Historical Research, and the advice and expertise of the Library staff, and may borrow circulating material from the Library. Other members have access subject to the prior needs of staff and students but do not have access to the Inter-Library Loan service, and the online database searching service will be available only by special arrangement.
2.2 Membership of the Library is open to all staff of Rhodes University and to all registered students.
- permanent members of staff as defined by the Human Resources Division of the University
- leave substitutes for permanent staff
- exchange lecturers
- Fellows of Rhodes University
By resolution of Senate, Graduate Assistants are regarded as postgraduate students and not staff.
2.2.2 Persons employed in University departments who do not qualify for staff status under 2.2.1 (e.g. Researchers paid from funds other than those of the University) may be recognised as staff by the Director: Library Services on production of a letter of introduction from the head of the department concerned. Such letters must indicate that the department takes responsibility for the persons introduced and for meeting any Library debts incurred by them.
2.2.3 Honorary membership of the Library is open to the following categories of user, provided that they are resident in Grahamstown:
- Professors Emeriti
- Retired members of staff
- Members of the University Council
- Members of Convocation
2.2.4 Staff members who resign from the University's employment must inform the Director: Library Services of their resignation and return to the Library any Library material in their possession and membership cards issued by the Library before leaving the University.
2.2.5 Students include all undergraduate and postgraduate students registered as such with the Registrar's Division for the current year. Student membership terminates at the end of the calendar year but may be extended to the commencement of the first term of the following year on application to the Director: Library Services. Such extended membership falls away if the student concerned does not then re-register.
2.2.6 Students are regarded as Undergraduate or Postgraduate students depending on whether they are registered for undergraduate or postgraduate courses.
2.2.7 Postgraduate students living in Grahamstown who are not receiving tuition but wish to make use of the Library service must register with the University as postgraduate students or register with the Library as either Visiting or Honorary Members.
2.2.8 The Director: Library Services may extend membership of the Library to bona fide residents of greater Grahamstown who do not otherwise qualify for membership, on application. Such members will be known as Visiting Members and will be asked to supply a small photograph of themselves and pay a registration fee determined by the Director: Library Services.
2.2.9 The study, teaching and research needs of staff and student members of the University will take precedence over the borrowing and other needs of Visiting or Honorary Members. Visiting Membership will not normally be extended to school children or persons under the age of 18 years.
Visiting Members will pay a small annual fee on registration and will receive limited borrowing privileges and access to Library services.
2.2.10 Staff members of the Research Institutes and Units associated with or affiliated to Rhodes University are regarded as staff members of the University. These institutes and units are listed in the University Calendar.
2.2.11 Membership in any category comes into effect only after registration in the Library. No person may be registered in more than one category of membership.
Student members may normally only register after they have been issued with Student Identity Cards (which contain bar codes) but Temporary Membership Cards can be arranged, on application, for students needing to borrow from the Library before their ID Cards are available.
All other categories of member may register at any stage of the year.
Library staff able to carry out the registration procedures will be available during the hours of full Library service (see 1.7 above). Outside these hours intending members may not be able to register.
Users intending to register as members should approach the Circulation Desk in the first instance.
Bar-coded Library Membership Cards will be issued to Honorary and Visiting Members by the Library on completion of the registration process. Staff and Students' ID cards are used as their Library cards. Visiting and Honorary Members cards will have photographs of the members supplied by them. All Library membership cards will be retained by the members themselves and not by the Library. Researchers visiting the Cory Library will be issued with bar-coded readers' tickets on completion of the registration form. These tickets do not entitle visiting researchers to borrowing privileges in either the Cory Library or the Main Library.
If a card is lost or stolen, this must be reported to the Library immediately. The Library will replace membership cards which it has issued. The Director: Library Services may levy a fee to cover the cost of such replacement. Staff and Students' ID cards are replaced through the Registrar's Division but the new barcode must be recorded by the Library.
2.2.12 Staff, Honorary Members and Visiting borrowers are required to sign acceptance of these Rules on registration. Students are deemed to have accepted them as part of their acceptance of the University's Rules.
2.2.13 All borrowers are required to inform the Library of any changes in the addresses supplied to it on registration.
2.2.14 The Director: Library Services may require any applicants for membership to prove their identity.
2.2.15 See also regulations for distance students in Appendix I.

3.1.1 Cory Library for Historical Research: access and circulation rules
- Material held in the Cory Library falls into two categories: (a) material which may be removed from the Cory Library (Eden Grove) building (i.e. borrowed) and (b) material which may be used in the Cory Library only.
- Material which may be borrowed from the Cory Library may be borrowed only by those who are registered borrowers in the Rhodes University Library System. Further details are available from the Cory Librarian.
Material type codes for borrowable material are the same as those of the Main Library. This material is borrowed for the same loan periods as for the Main Library.
- Users who are not registered borrowers from the Rhodes University Library System may, at the discretion of the Cory Librarian, be registered for access to archival and other material which does not circulate outside the Cory Library building.
- In respect of material borrowable from the Cory Library, rules 3.2 to 3.19 apply except where obviously inappropriate.
- No periodicals held in the Cory Library, whether bound or unbound, are borrowable by any category of borrower.
3.2 Registered staff members may apply to the Director: Library Services to have their borrowing status converted to that of Special Staff. This status is normally granted on the basis of special academic needs.
3.3 The Director: Library Services may at his or her discretion restrict the loan period of any item or refuse its loan altogether. The Director: Library Services may recall any item on loan from any borrower at any time.
3.4 No Library material of any kind may be removed from the Main Library building or the Cory Library by anyone unless it has been issued to them at the Circulation Desk.
3.5 All borrowers must produce their Library membership cards (see 2.2.11 above) when borrowing from the Library, reserving items or cancelling their reservations and at such other times as the Director: Library Services or other Library staff member designated for this purpose by the Director: Library Services shall require.
3.6 Only the borrower in whose name a card has been registered (see above) may use that card for Library purposes unless the Director: Library Services has given permission, on application, for a designated individual to carry out transactions on behalf of a member. Where such permission has been obtained the members must state the name of their agents in writing to the Director: Library Services. This written statement must be renewed each year.
3.7 Every borrower assumes full responsibility for all items borrowed and for their return in good condition by the due dates. This includes items borrowed through an agent (see 3.6) and any items borrowed using a member's lost card unless the loss of that card has been reported to the Director: Library Services.
3.8 No borrower may transfer any item borrowed from the Library to any other person.
3.8.1 Circulation and borrowers' personal records are confidential and the Library will not disclose loan or other personal details to anyone other than the borrower concerned.
3.9 Items which are lost or damaged by borrowers must be replaced by them or paid for by them. Such payment shall be the cost of the item to the Library at the time of replacement plus a handling fee determined by the Director: Library Services. (Damage includes underlining in any form, lining in transparent colour, writing of comments and removal of any portion of an item.)
3.10 All categories of borrower are liable for fines in respect of items borrowed from the Library and not returned by the due date stamped in each item on issue. Fines are incurred whether or not borrowers receive notices from the Library informing them that items are overdue. (Overdue notices will nevertheless be sent out by the Library as reminders). Fines commence from the end of the period of grace determined by the Director: Library Services. 48 hour loan or high demand material has no grace period. The rate at which fines are levied and maximum fines are determined by the Library Committee from time to time. Details are obtainable from the Library. If an item incurs the maximum fine and is still not returned to the Library it will be presumed lost by the borrower.
3.10.1 Once a fine has been incurred a borrower will not be able to borrow further material until the fine has been paid.
3.11 Any borrowed Library item is regarded as still out on loan until it has been returned to the Library and is discharged from the loan record. Borrowers are required to hand returning items to a member of the Circulation Desk staff and to wait until the staff member has discharged each item. The staff member will inform the borrower of any fines or messages recorded in the issue system and confirm to the borrower that the loan record is cancelled. Complaints about return dates and fines cannot be entertained at a later date.
3.12 When an item on loan has been recalled by the Director: Library Services (see 3.3 above) fines will be incurred at the normal daily rate if the item has not been returned by the new due date specified by the notice emailed or posted to the last address(es) supplied to the Library by the borrower.
3.13 All items may have their loan periods renewed online or by the Circulation Desk staff, unless the item has been reserved by another borrower. Only in the case of Postgraduate students and University staff may renewals be made by telephone or email.
3.14 The mutilation, theft, or attempted theft, of any Library property, including circulating materials, is a very serious offence. Library users who engage in theft or apparent theft will be referred to the University's disciplinary structures by the Director: Library Services. Library users not subject to University disciplinary structures will be dealt with through normal legal processes.
3.15 Items in heavy demand by students may be placed in a Short Loan collection by the Director: Library Services at the request of members of the academic staff or on the Director: Library Services 's own initiative. Short Loan items:
- will be lent out for use in the Library only, or overnight when the Library is closed
- will have a brief loan period (e.g. 1 hour) determined by the Director: Library Services on the basis of demand
- may only be used in areas of the Library designated by the Director: Library Services
- will have a limit of 2 items to any one borrower at one time
- will have fines levied at a higher rate than those for ordinary loans (details obtainable from the Director: Library Services).
The Director: Library Services may modify these regulations at his/her discretion.
3.16 The Director: Library Services may designate certain items or classes of material as for "reference" or non-circulating use only. The Director: Library Services may require that such materials be used in designated areas of the Library only. In the case of rare or valuable materials the Director: Library Services may require, in addition, that they may be used subject to rules designed to ensure their safety and preservation.
3.17 Normal loan periods will apply to the University vacations but borrowers who will not be in Grahamstown and will, therefore, find it difficult to comply with loan requirements may apply to the Director: Library Services for special vacation loans. Such loans are subject to the Library needs of other borrowers.
3.18 The Director: Library Services may require that new material be placed on display for a period before it becomes available for loan. If an item is needed for urgent academic purposes, application may be made to the Director: Library Services to have the display period waived or reduced.
3.19 The Director: Library Services may block transactions at the Circulation Desks in respect of borrowers who infringe the circulation rules.
4.1 Inter-Library Loans is a facility which supplements the Library's own stock by obtaining material which is not available in the Rhodes University Library for University staff and postgraduate students. In return Rhodes material is made available to other libraries. In both cases resource sharing is subject to the rules and licence agreements of the lending library and to the needs of each library's own members at any given time.
4.2 Members of staff and postgraduate students may request the Inter-Library Loans Department to borrow items or to obtain photocopies for them.
4.3 Request forms for books and periodicals are obtainable from the Inter-Library Loans office. A form must be filled in for each item to be requested, giving all available details about each item. The staff of the department are available during service hours to give advice on the completion of the forms.
4.4 If a book is obtainable in South Africa, the Rhodes borrower will be charged the postal costs involved only. Books can be obtained from further afield if they are out of print and therefore, not obtainable by any other means. Borrowers must discuss the implications and costs of such loans with the Inter-Library Loans staff.
4.5 Original periodicals are rarely available for loan and most libraries supply photocopies of requested articles. The Rhodes borrower is expected to pay the photocopy costs but retains the copies. Photocopies obtained from beyond South Africa are expensive and requesters must discuss costs with the Inter-Library Loan staff.
4.6 It is important that before submitting Inter-Library Loan requests, users first search the Full-text E-journals by TITLE (A-Z List) of full-text electronic journals to see if the article is available electronically, and also check the Rhodes University Library catalogue/OPAC ( RU Library and Cory Library ), to find out if the item is held in print.
4.7 Lending libraries have the right to impose conditions of loan including loan period and number of renewals permitted, if any. These conditions must be adhered to strictly by Rhodes borrowers. The Director: Library Services may impose fines on borrowers with Inter-Library Loan material in their possession beyond the due date. Such fines will be at the daily rate for borrowers of Rhodes material. Serious or persistent offenders may be denied access to the Inter-Library Loan service.
5.1 No Library user may act in any way which disturbs the reading or study of other users of the Library or which interferes with the proper functioning of the Library.
5.2 Eating and drinking is forbidden in any part of the Library unless the prior permission of the Director: Library Services has been obtained. Smoking is forbidden in any part of the Library.
5.3 No animals may be brought into the Library unless the prior permission of the Director: Library Services has been obtained.
5.4 Damage to or theft of Library property will be referred to the University's Disciplinary structures.
5.5 Notices may not be displayed in or on any part of the Main Library building unless the permission of the Director: Library Services has been obtained.
5.6 Library staff are not responsible for personal property brought into the Library.
5.7 Equipment may be operated on the Library's electrical power supply if the permission of the Director: Library Services has been obtained. The Library will not be held responsible for any damage or loss to equipment plugged into power points in the library or to data stored thereon as a result of power fluctuations or surges or from any other cause.
5.8 Library staff cannot normally undertake to transmit telephone or other personal messages to Library users working in the Library. In emergencies every endeavour will be made to locate individuals in the Library.
5.9 These regulations also apply in the Cory Library except where obviously inappropriate.
6.1 No person may use the photocopying machines in the Library for the purpose of breaking the law on copyright.
6.2 The staff of the Library will not undertake copying which is in violation of copyright law nor will the Director: Library Services permit photocopies which are or may be in breach of the law to be taken into Library stock, including temporary deposit in the Short Loan collection.
6.3 The Director: Library Services may withhold any item in the Library stock from photocopying if there is good reason to believe that it is not desirable for it to be copied. In cases where any item is withheld from photocopying because of the possibility of damage other forms of copying may be permitted.
6.4 Charges for photocopies made on machines in the Library are determined by the Printing Unit of Rhodes University. A statement of charges is posted in the photocopy room.
6.5 Copies on photocopy machines accessible to Library users are made using a student or photocopy charge card. Student cards are supplied to students by the University at registration. Charge cards can be purchased from the card dispenser/reloader in the Photocopy Room or at the Student Bureau. Staff can obtain cards through their departments.
6.6 Persons who are not members of the Library may use the photocopy machines provided that Library members are not inconvenienced by such use. Charge cards can be purchased from the card dispenser/reloader in the Photocopy Room.
6.7 These regulations also apply in the Cory Library except where obviously inappropriate.
7.1 The Director: Library Services may lay down regulations covering these searches and the costs, if any, to be levied on categories of users other than staff and students of the university.
7.2 Such users may approach the Information Desk for assistance or to make arrangements for database searches.
8.1 This area, also known as the 24 Hour Reading Room, is an access-controlled area where students may study after the Library has closed. Users of the facility while the Library is open will be asked to leave the facility 15 minutes before closing time. Those wishing to remain in the facility after Library closure, will have to leave the Library through the exit gates, taking with them all possessions, and reenter the facility from its outside entrance, on the South side of the Library opposite the Psychology Dept. This entrance will be opened just before the Library closes and the door to the Library from the facility will then be locked.
8.2 Access to the facility is controlled and users must be in possession of a Dallas chip which must be initialized in the Library. All users of the facility must be registered on the Library's Millennium system.
8.3 The facility is fitted with a panic button linked to Campus Protection which is to be used only in emergency situations, for example if there is a power failure which disables the access-control system and users are not able to leave the facility.
9.1 The Library provides access for people with disabilities from a ramp up to the door to the Overnight Study Facility. A bell is situated on the adjacent door. Once rung, staff from the Circulation Desk will proceed to the Overnight facility door and help the user to gain entrance to the Library.
9.2 People with disabilities are allowed to use the staff lift to access the other floors of the Library.
9.3 Students in wheelchairs have priority at a workstation at the Information Desk which is set up on a specially-raised desktop.
9.4 Students with low vision have priority at a computer which is loaded with special software which enlarges screen characters.
10.1 Rhodes staff and students intending to visit other libraries for research and study purposes should obtain a letter of introduction from the Director: Library Services before leaving Grahamstown.
10.2 A Committee for Higher Education Librarians of South Africa (CHELSA) memorandum of understanding requires senior postgraduate students from one university visiting the library of another member to produce such letters. Students arriving without them may be refused admission or service by the library approached.
10.3 Undergraduate and Honours students are not covered by the CHELSA agreement but may request letters of introduction. A Rhodes letter of introduction will not ask for borrowing facilities on behalf of undergraduate or Honours students and the services open to them depend on the rules of the libraries approached.
10.4 Staff or students requiring letters of introduction must complete an application form available from the Circulation Desk. Each signed letter of introduction will be available 24 hours after the application was submitted.
10.5 Each library visited by Rhodes staff or students has the right to determine what services and facilities it is able to offer, taking into account the needs of its own members.
11.1 The Director: Library Services has the power to impose fines for any breaches of the Library Rules and Regulations, to demand compensation for lost or damaged items belonging to the Library, to suspend any user from the privilege of borrowing material or to exclude them from the Library for a specified period.
A1.1 Distance students are those registered Rhodes University students resident for all, or significant parts of the academic year, too far from Grahamstown to interact with the Library in person. The provisions contained in the Statement of Library Rules and Regulations apply to distance students except where modified below.
A1.2 Distance students must register in person as Library borrowers. If they are not yet in possession of Students' ID cards, the Library will issue temporary borrower's cards. Students requesting temporary cards must supply proof of identity and a small photograph. Distance students must obtain an ID card at academic registration and then register this with the Library as a borrower's card in place of the temporary card. Distance students must keep the Library informed of any changes in their registered postal and e-mail addresses and contact telephone numbers.
A1.3 Distance students may borrow directly from the Library when they are in Grahamstown but must do so in person. If they want someone else to borrow on their behalf they must make a written request to the Director: Library Services, quoting their student numbers and barcodes, for particular individuals to act as their agents. In such case a person on whose behalf an item has been borrowed is responsible for it, not the agent.
A1.4 The loan period for distance students will be the normal 28 days for Postgraduates. The service will not normally be available to other categories of borrower. Renewals of loans may be done online, be requested in person, by e-mail, telephone, or on the Renewal Forms obtainable from the Circulation Supervisor. These forms must be posted to the Director: Library Services on or before the due dates of the books concerned. The Director: Library Services may refuse any renewal request and any item reserved by another borrower must be returned to the Library immediately.
A1.5 When distance students are not able to visit the Library in person to borrow items they may request them from the Library by e-mail or on Loan Forms obtainable from the Senior Library Assistant, Circulation. Books will be sent out as registered surface post by the Library and must be returned by registered post or by the borrower in person. The Library will pay the postage out and the borrower the return postage. Only books or other items which are normally available for issue will be posted out and material in demand by students or staff in Grahamstown will not be available for postal loan during the period of demand.
A1.6 Books may not be requested or renewed by telephone but the Circulation or Information Staff will assist distance borrowers to complete the Loan Forms by supplying details by telephone if requested to do so.
A1.7 Distance students will be liable for fines on overdue books at the standard rates. Books returned by post will not be regarded as overdue if the postmark date is the same as the due date or earlier. Borrowers who have incurred fines will be blocked from further personal or postal loans until the fines are paid.
A1.8 The Library will not borrow books on Inter-Library Loan on behalf of distance students but photostat copies of periodical articles may be requested. Photostat copies of material held by the Library may also be requested subject to the provisions of copyright legislation but requesters will be charged the cost of the copies plus a handling charge.
A1.9 Letters of Introduction to other university libraries will be supplied to distance students but only
- if they are registered borrowers of the Rhodes Library and
- if they comply with the Committee for Higher Education Librarians of South Africa memorandum of understanding.
A1.10 The postal service is normally limited to the Republic of South Africa but distance students based beyond its borders may apply to the Director: Library Services through the Head of their Academic Department for a relaxation of this rule. The Director: Library Services may decline to offer a postal library service to areas where the postal service is unreliable even if these areas are within the borders of South Africa.
A1.11 The Director: Library Services retains the right to recall an item from a distance student before its due date and may withdraw postal and other services from such students if they default on their obligations to the Library.

Several parties involved in an alleged road-rage incident Wednesday morning made Stamford police officers' lives easier by all arriving at the police station to make complaints about each other.
Authorities said a woman's car apparently stalled out at the intersection of Cove Road and Dale Place and she placed her hazards on in an attempt to make other motorists aware that she was having issues.
Police said a pickup truck then pulled up up behind the woman and began honking and yelling. Eventually, the truck pulled up along side the woman, but according to police, she ignored the driver because she claimed he appeared very angry.
Police said the woman's husband coincidentally happened to be walking down the street at the time of the incident and witnessed the interaction. He allegedly jumped into the bed of the pickup truck and punched out the rear window of the truck. Police said the husband, identified by police as Alden Haughton, 46, of Lawn Ave., then ran off.
Police said Haughton's wife, whose vehicle at that point had again become operational, then drove to the Stamford Police Department with the pickup truck in tow behind her.
Authorities said both the woman and parties from the pickup truck entered the department. As police took a statement from Haughton's wife, he allegedly arrived at the station himself. Police said from the interview room, Haughton's wife could hear him in the lobby and told police she needed to exit the room to "keep him from getting arrested."
Alden Haughton was, however, ultimately arrested and charged with second-degree breach of peace and third-degree criminal mischief. Haughton faces a court date of October 24 and was released on a Promise To Appear.
Other Arrests
Doronda Bashia Carter, 31, of Myano Lane, was charged Tuesday night with third-degree assault.
Derrick Anthony Gonzalez, 22, of Garden St., was charged Tuesday afternoon with two counts violation of probation.
Imane Kadimi, 32, of Connecticut Ave., was charged Tuesday night with disorderly conduct (fighting capable of causing minor injury.)
Ismail Laksabi, 37, of Connecticut Ave., was charged Tuesday evening with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct (fighting capable of causing minor injury.)
Christopher Somsky, 39, of S. Pacific St., was charged Tuesday night with sixth-degree larceny.
Alexander Valoyes, 39, of S. Pacific St., was charged Tuesday night with sixth-degree larceny.
Lawrence Worsley, 23, of Ludlow St., was charged Tuesday night with interfering with an officer/resisting and third-degree assault.
