The good-girl-gone-bad dressed as Nicki for Halloween. Clearly she doesn't think much of the Starships singer.
Miley likes posting pics of herself on Twitter. She did it: When she cut her hair into a bob, When she dyed it blonde, and more recently,When she shaved it all off.So basically, this isn't new to us. The same way that Kim K tweeted a snap of her scary see-through outfit (which she thankfully didn't wear), so too did Miley. Dressed up in spooky Nicki Minaj lookalike get-up - complete with a giant yellow wig, tattooed arm, fugly bodysuit and some hectic bum padding – she tagged the image with an update which read: @NICKIMINAJ you a stupppppiddddd hoeMinaj is yet to respond. So, while we wait for a comeback (can you smell a celeb bitch fight brewing?!), can we all just agree that Cyrus does a pretty darn good impersonation?I'm impressed. Are you?

The only ones: how China's single-child policy doubled the agony of parents
Thursday 15 May 2008
The woman had brought pyjamas and a change of clothes for her only child, a student at the Hanwang Technical College, devastated by the earthquake two days ago which left thousands of parents childless. "My son is studying in this school and I'm waiting for the police to dig him up. I still hope he's alive," she said at the gate of the college, where soldiers in camouflage fatigues brought out bodies of the young victims of the quake and laid them in front of the gates. When the school director broke the news that her son had died in the quake she shook with grief.
Outliving your offspring is an unbearable prospect, but the death of a child takes on an especially horrific dimension for many of the parents of child victims of the Sichuan earthquake, an edge of intolerable cruelty.
Under the one-child policy, imposed in 1979 as a way of reining in population growth already running at dangerously high levels in the world's most populous nation, most families are limited to one child. The worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years has brought the spotlight to bear on one of the country's most controversial policies of social engineering, and highlighted how this policy puts unbearable pressure on many families in contemporary China.
Overworked rescuers all around Hanwang were besieged by frantic parents, begging the soldiers and volunteers to dig out their relatives. One mother banged on the chest of a People's Liberation Army (PLA) officer – not something done lightly – saying, "Rescue my child". Clearly struggling to maintain composure, the rescuers said they had to focus on digging for survivors in areas where hundreds had been lost, and didn't have the resources to look for individual children.
Such was the extent of her grief that when parts of a building's front started to rain down on the street in which we stood, forcing dozens of us to run for cover, she remained outside the house, wailing uncontrollably.
What clearly struck a chord with the PLA officer, and made his tough decision almost intolerable, was when the parents said: "This is our only son." In a country where couples are largely confined to having one child, this entreaty is particularly hard to ignore.
Last night, as help began to arrive in some of the hardest-to-reach areas, some victims trapped for more than two days under collapsed buildings were still being pulled out alive. Doctors and nurses were treating survivors in the street because hospitals had been flattened by the disaster, as helicopters hovered overhead, dropping food and medicine to isolated towns as part of the mobilization of 100,000 troops and police for the relief effort.
The Chinese news agency Xinhua quoted government officials as saying that rescuers in the city of Yingxiu in Wenchuan county - the epicenter of the quake - found only 2,300 survivors in the town of about 10,000, with another 1,000 badly hurt. And the official death toll rose yesterday to 14,866, the news agency said, but it was not immediately clear if that number included the 7,700 reported dead in Yingxiu.
At the Juyuan Middle School in Dujiangyan, rescue workers let off firecrackers every time the body of a youngster was identified among the 700 victims, sending the child's soul home and warding off evil spirits, but also marking the death of hope for hundreds of parents.
Li Chunyan, 16, was one of the victims and her mother's grief is all the more poignant because the One Child Policy means that she, and many of the thousands of dead students in Sichuan, were the only children. And, being teenagers, means that for many families, there will be no more children. Chinese leave it late to have babies because they want to welcome their offspring into a stable environment. When your teenage children die, you are left alone.
The children of the One Child Policy era are cosseted and adored like youngsters nowhere else, because entire generations have their ambitions focused on the single child. Boys are known as "Little Emperors" and are generally surrounded by swooning aunts, uncles and grandparents, all of whom are ready to spend their life savings on giving this one child the best possible education and anything else he desires.
The earthquake struck at 2.30pm on Monday afternoon, when most of Sichuan's children were at school, which means that when the final death toll finally emerges, many will be children of the One Child Policy. Many of them were taking a nap when the quake shook the province. One boy was found still holding a pen.
One family's personal tragedy was recorded by a photojournalist in Hanwang, who took pictures as rescuers painstakingly removed the rubble from around a teenage girl, Yang Liu, trapped under the ruins of her school. She had survived since Monday thanks to food and water from the workers who protected her with a white helmet. But it was too dangerous to move her for medical care, and so the journalist and the girl's mother were rushed to hospital. There, after doctors had studied the photographs, her mother was told that Yang would have to lose her legs.
Travelling through Sichuan one is struck by the numbers of boys on the streets, almost as if the girls have been hidden. The policy has led to boy children being preferred over girls and is blamed for an alarming rise in the male-to-female ratio.
Even though ultrasound tests to determine the baby's gender are technically illegal, underground ultrasounds and gender-selective abortions have resulted in there being 118 boys born for every 100 girls, potentially threatening social stability as more men have difficulty finding wives. In most Western countries, more girls are born than boys.
As in many developing countries, farmers prize sons because they believe they are better able to provide for the family, support their parents and carry on the family name, powerful enticements in a country with little by way of a social security blanket.
Raising a girl in rural areas is known as raising crops for someone else to reap. Prejudices run deep.
And there are many exceptions. People in the cities can have a second child if husband and wife come from one-child families, and farm couples are allowed to have another if their first was a girl. Many ethnic minorities are allowed to have two children, and there are no restrictions on the number of children Tibetans can have. Also, children of the One Child Policy are allowed to have more than one baby.
The One Child Policy is often viewed in the West as an attack on human rights, but there is growing debate about the policy in China too. The Beijing government reckons that since the policy was introduced, more than 400 million births have been prevented. The government says it has successfully slowed population growth to about 10 million people a year and there is now an average birth rate of 1.8 children per couple in China, compared to six children when it was introduced. In a country where famine is still in living memory, there were fears that the ever-rising birth rate would put too much strain on already-stretched resources.
Demographics experts have warned of looming problems from an ageing population and a growing gender imbalance stemming from aborted or abandoned baby girls. Many also say the increasing mobility of China's population make family planning policies more difficult to enforce.
There is a feeling among the rural poor especially that there are double standards about the policy, that the rich can afford to buy their way out, while the poor are forced to endure the wrath of the state. And it is true that many of the new rich in China's cities merely choose to pay the fine and have the extra children.
There are no signs that the Communist Party is prepared to get rid of the policy any time soon. Zhao Baige, vice minister of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, suggested this year that China could slowly change the One Child Policy and that family planning had "become a big issue among decision makers". But the commission came out with a staunch denial of the report.
So seriously does the Chinese Communist Party take the policy that family planning officials in the central province of Hubei expelled 500 cadres last year for breaching the rules. Some of the breaches by cadres were spectacular: one lawmaker had four children by four mistresses.
"More party members, celebrities, and well-off people are violating the policies in recent years, which has undermined social equality," said Yang Youwang, the director of the planning commission. In Hubei alone, 93,084 people breached the policy last year, including 1,678 officials, clear evidence of the policy's unpopularity.
In an effort to win people around to the idea, China has sought to soften the tone of the propaganda slogans it uses to promote the One Child Policy to make the calls to have fewer babies more on-message and less offensive. Slogans such as "Raise fewer babies but more piggies", "Houses toppled, cows confiscated, if abortion demand rejected" and "One more baby means one more tomb" have, unsurprisingly, been declared crude and counter-productive in the efforts to quell the number of births.
These propaganda messages are painted on walls and houses all over China, but the National Population and Family Planning Commission believes they are coarse, poorly worded and occasionally damage the government's image. "If such low-quality slogans, which may cause public complaint and resentment, are not corrected and remain where they are, the country's family planning efforts in the new era will be hindered," a commission report said.
Instead, the commission has come up with 190 less alarming slogans, such as "Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children". In an effort to change the boys-only mindset, one new slogan says, "Both boys and girls are parents' hearts". Even this softly, softly approach is unlikely to win much sympathy in post-earthquake Sichuan. The parents here don't care about the gender of their children. They just want them back.

Kim Kardashian isn't just over Kris Humphries, according to the latest issue of OK! Weekly. She's already planning for motherhood...
... with Reggie Bush!
"Kris just wasn't the guy for Kim," a source tells the tabloid. "Not as a husband, but certainly not as a father, and ever since they broke up she's been thinking about Reggie more and more."
The insider goes on to describe the Dolphins running back as "father material," something that appeals to Kardashian, who has never made a secret of her desire to have children.
"Kim has always wanted to be a mom and she knows she will be," says the source, apparently ignoring Kim's whining last month about how she may be stuck forever as an aunt. "She has always adored children and she is naturally very maternal."

Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
So far so good. THANK YOU PETER! AND BEN. AND DOUG. AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS A PART OF MAKING THE NEW D-WORD HAPPEN. Sorry I'm yelling. I'm just so bloody excited.
It could be that I need to look a little further, but are you going to have instructions, or panels that show the tools you can use - on the posting pages? It would be wonderful.
Click on the little blue ? icon above the posting box for posting instructions. Or click "Help" in the menu at the top of the page for general instructions. Anything else, just ask here!
Erica, Glad you like it!
Long live the search function!
Milt, there's also the Help page that you can access from the top menu. You'll find a "Quick Guide" that I wrote very quickly, so it still lacks sophistication and illustration. (Volunteers needed to improve it.)
Peter (& Ben), thanks so much for the new version. I love it already... Methinks the updated site will save me at least 15 minutes of D-word browsing a day; of course, since it's so easy, I'll probably be wasting time, er, posting even more than before. Great job!
Thanks Peter, Ben, Doug, John, and everybody else!!! This is addictive. RIP Facebook, lol
Okay, a couple of other questions that come up for me -- just suggestions for the future "to-do" list, perhaps?
- spell check for postings (I think we had talked about this at one point)]
- when email notification of posting following yours occurs, can it tell you who posted after you instead of just saying "someone"?

COMSTOCK PARK, MI - Jacob Scavuzzo hit a solo home run, accounting for the lone run scored by the Great Lakes Loons Wednesday in a series-opening loss to the West Michigan Whitecaps, 4-1.
Scavuzzo clubbed his fourth homer of the season, a deep drive off the scoreboard in left leading off the fourth inning, to pull the Loons to within a run at 2-1. But the Loons could not advance a runner beyond second from that point forward, mustering just three singles after that and going quietly 1-2-3 in the fifth, sixth and ninth innings.
WM starter Chad Green (1-2) allowed just five hits - including Scavuzzo's shot - to notch his first win of the season. Zac Reininger and Jose Felix split the final three innings to finish off Great Lakes. Felix saved his third contest of the season.
Brandon Martinez (1-1) took the loss in just his second start of 2014. He lasted a season-best five innings, and just one of the three runs he allowed were earned. The Whitecaps took advantage of an error by Brandon Trinkwon to score two runs in the first inning on RBI singles by Dominic Ficociello and Wynton Bernard.
Francisco Contreras added an RBI hit in the fourth. And Ficociello brought in another with a long homer - his fourth - with one out in the ninth.
Ralston Cash and Jordan Hershiser worked scoreless innings in relief. Jacob Rhame surrendered the home run to Ficociello in his one inning.
The Loons (28-31) and Whitecaps (33-26) meet for the middle game of the series Thursday night at 7:00pm. Loons righty Scott Barlow (1-1, 3.93 ERA) is slated to start for the Loons. Righty Jonathon Crawford (2-1, 2.27) - a 2014 Midwest League all-star game selection and the Detroit Tigers' first round selection from 2013 - gets the start for the home team.
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN 100.9-FM and ESPN1009.com.
The Great Lakes Loons are an eighth-year Single-A partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. For tickets and more information about the Loons, visit Loons.com, or call 989-837-BALL.

Kenton Co. Animal Shelter offers half-off adoptions, microchips
Updated On: Jun 22 2012 06:27:20 PM EDT
To kick off the dog (and cat) days of summer, the Kenton County Animal Shelter will be offering half price adoptions and microchips through June 30.
For the duration of the sale, all adoptions are $40 and microchips are $15.
The shelter is implementing the discount in response to adoptions decreasing "a little bit," the director of the Kenton County Animal Shelter, Dan Evans, said.
So far, the offers have successfully increased business, according to Evans.
"Our best adoption days are normally on Saturdays and we normally do about five to six of them," he said. "We are way above that already only about an hour and a-half into the process for the day."
Sarah Ewing, who adopted a black cat named "Sissy Bug," decided to get a pet at the shelter because she sympathizes with the homeless animals.
"A lot of people want to go look at little puppies and kittens and want to buy them, but there's a lot of animals that need homes too that are just as cute," she said.
The Kenton County Animal Shelter is located at 1020 Mary Laidley Drive in Fort Mitchell. Call (859) 356-7400 for more information.

Water problems on Portage return after water main break Thursday
The big puddle is just north of the Fox and Hound Tavern.
CTV Winnipeg
Published Friday, February 8, 2013 6:40PM CST
There are problems on Portage Ave. once again after a water main break yesterday.
Water lapped at the tires of vehicles as they passed down Queen St. near Portage.
The big puddle is just north of the Fox and Hound Tavern.
It was just yesterday that the business was flooded and had to shut down after a nearby water main burst and sent water gushing along the roadway.

Today's Runes for Paul Newman
spread is used at critical turning points, to understand the dynamics of an important decision.
Spirit Runes
are most commonly used for questions about mysticism, spirituality, and religion.
The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
is the symbol of the warrior. This rune most represents masculine force and potency, and frequently victory in battle. Beware though, for this rune represents directly the Norse god whose name it bears - Tyr stands out in legend for having sacrificed his hand that he might bind Fenrir, a monstrous wolf that threatens to swallow the world. As such, this rune is known to portend a great victory that can be bought with a terrible sacrifice. Tyr is also the god of law, frequently placed in such position above Odin. In this aspect, protection of justice may be had by this rune.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
, the rune of chance and gambling has been drawn reversed. This can have many possible meanings. It could represent secrets revealed or mysteries uncovered. It could be a warning against gambling - now might not be the time to take a chance.
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
is the rune of riding, as in a cart or as cargo. It is seen here reversed, suggesting a disruption of travel or communication. Etiological analysis of this rune has also given it interpretations of advice or justice, and of being in a position of moral correctness. Reversed, there is an indication of the lack of solid council, or the holding of a position that is not morally sound.

Appreciate your feedback.
I have never heard of an Adult Ed charter school. Not sure this could
happen in California which is where I teach. I understand Florida is considering it. You need to research what is allowed in your state.

Owner of Baymont Inn at Port Columbus airport seeks Chapter 11 in bid to halt sale by Delaware County Bank
Send this to a friend
- Brian R. Ball
The owner of the struggling Baymont Inn & Suites at Port Columbus International Airport is hoping to wrest back control of the hotel from Delaware County Bank as the lender deals with its own financial issues.
Pete Coratola, managing member of Baymont owner Cross Country Inn LLC, said the 119-room hotel has been lagging its peers in an improving travel market since December 2009, when his partners agreed not to contest a foreclosure that put day-to-day operations under a court-appointed receiver.
"We feel we can better manage the place," Coratola said. "The economy's changing. It's ticking up more."
Falling behind
Cross Country Inn, an affiliate of Dublin-based hotel investor Platinum Ridge Properties LLC, sought Chapter 11 protection from creditors in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Columbus Dec. 2. The filing marks the latest twist in a two-year saga involving hotels at the airport.
Platinum Ridge bought leasehold interests in the Baymont and four other airport hotels in 2005. But the bust of Skybus Airlines Inc. in 2008 amid a broader decline in air travel during the recession prompted the hotel owner in early 2009 to stop making land-lease payments to the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, Port Columbus International's operator and landowner.
Non-payment of rent and property taxes pushed the properties into default on $5.8 million of mortgage debt with Delaware County Bank as well as loans with two other lenders that had financed the $29.5 million acquisition. Another Platinum Ridge-led partnership in September last year gave up the keys to the airport's Concourse Hotel to WesBanco Bank in lieu of foreclosure. That property is for sale.
Platinum Ridge retains control of three hotels – a Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn and Hilton Garden Inn – after restructuring a loan with GE Capital Franchise Finance Corp.
Coratola said the Baymont has not improved its performance even though the three hotels Platinum Ridge owns have experienced improving occupancy and revenue as airport passenger traffic has rebounded.
"We think the property has deteriorated since we gave it up," Coratola said. "There's nobody really in control."
He thinks the hotel has become entangled in Delaware County Bank's financial struggles and regulatory issues. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions in October signed a consent decree with DCB Financial Corp., the bank's parent, to improve the bank's operations, asset quality and capital levels.
But Delaware County Bank's attorney, Al Lucas of Calfee Halter & Griswold LLP, said Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Kimberly Cocroft rejected Platinum Ridge's reservations about Bayco Associates LLC, the hotel's Philadelphia-based receiver.
"When the bank took over," he said, "the hotel business was very insolvent."
Valuation dispute
The bank, Coratola said, maintains the value of the Baymont is $6.5 million. His partners think the market value of the hotel, formerly part of the Cross Country Inn chain, is closer to $2 million.
The bank's apparent need to shore up its balance sheet, he said, "went straight to the heart of our case" over the value.
Lucas said the foreclosure had nothing to do with the bank's financial struggles. Cross Country Inn's bankruptcy filing, he said, came days after Cocroft had granted the bank summary judgment in the foreclosure case. A final order directing a sale of the property at sheriff's auction, however, has stalled because of the bankruptcy filing.
"The bottom line is, the borrower owes the bank approximately $6 million" Lucas said, "and we have a judgment against Cross Country Inn as well as the personal guarantors."
Bankruptcy reorganization, he said, will not benefit the hotel's creditors.
"We don't think there are valid reasons for the bankruptcy," Lucas said. "We intend to oppose it."
Platinum Ridge attempted to use reorganization to forestall the sale of a property in foreclosure before. Its Crosswoods Hotel Investors LLC affiliate sought Chapter 11 protection in August 2009 for its Homewood Suites at the Crosswoods Center development of north Columbus. The 99-room hotel was sold in April to a Chicago investor.

Milk Carton 2.0 taps social media to find missing children
By donating their social networks to the cause, people can receive immediate updates when a child is abducted in Canada.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
When a child is abducted, Milk Carton 2.0 can get the word out in minutes.
The website, created by Missing Children Society of Canada, uses social network accounts — Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare — as digital megaphones when a child goes missing.
"You don't have to wait for the 6 o'clock news," said the Missing Children Society's Tricia Harder.
The organization is holding a recruitment drive on March 22 at the opening of The Shops at Aura , a new mall under the Aura condo skyscraper at Yonge and Gerrard Sts. Basically visitors are asked to sign up for Milk Carton 2.0 and donate their social networks to the cause.
Milk Carton 2.0 is a modern reinvention of a U.S. campaign that started after a boy went missing in New York City in 1979 and led to the faces of missing children being printed on milk cartons across the country in the 1980s.
Harder said their messages can reach between one and two million people on social media as Canadians retweet and share the information, and are on the lookout for the missing child.
Since it was launched in Calgary in May 2012, Milk Carton 2.0 has been used 22 times to alert the public of missing children, including for Amber Alerts. The success rate has been "incredibly high," Harder said, although for privacy reasons she can't go into specifics.
Though thousands of children go missing in Canada ever year, alerts through Milk Carton 2.0 are used sparingly.
In the case of a stranger abducting a child, which happens about 40 times a year in Canada, police will only ask the public for help if they believe bodily harm will come to the child if immediate action is not taken and they have no other leads.
"As soon as you put information out to the public, you're going to have tips coming in. Ninety-nine per cent of those tips are unfounded," Harder said, so the tool is only used when police have nothing else to go on.
The Missing Children Society of Canada receives alerts from law enforcement officials and posts the missing child's name and photo to its website. The posts are automatically picked up by the donated social media networks and shared with your friends and contacts.
The ad agency behind the campaign, Grey Canada, created the site with the goal of attracting attention in a way that set the organization apart.
"There's a million not-for-profit TV ads out there," said Stephanie Nerlich, the president of Grey Canada. "We had to make people care about this organization."
Its work was recognized with the top honour at the 2014 Cassies , awards given out by Canada's advertising and communications industry.
The campaign also took home a silver prize at last year's Cannes Lions festival.

Oklahoma City realty firm flies its own drone
Broker Mark Patton said the bird's-eye view of streets and activity around a property can be the deciding factor in a deal.
"It had traffic moving," he said of a video clip he recently sent to an out-of-state investor. "That's huge. It's not static. It's changed the site search process. It's revolutionary for site searches."
And that's without a gimbal, a device to keep the drone and its camera balanced to the horizon — and reduce the effect of the Oklahoma wind. Jackson said that will be Price Edwards' next investment in the technology arms race.
In-house advantage
It is a race, and Price Edwards intends to stay in the lead, with its in-house technology staff, said managing partner Ford Price.
It's unusual, he said, for a realty firm not to outsource the kinds of things Jackson works on improving every day. Price said the firm regularly takes time to concentrate solely on information technology and how the latest advances can be used to improve its work for its clients.
For all the bells and whistles — and the four little rotors and lights on what looks like a tiny space ship — the property transaction is still the main deal, Jackson said.
"It allows us to go out on a moment's notice and grab some video, edit it and upload it to a client within a few hours. Aerials don't allow you to do this," he said. "And because it's not outsourced, it's all in-house, we do it really quick and get a quick turnaround for our clients and get deals done quicker.
"We've had a lot of clients wowed by it. Most people have never seen anything like this or knew something like this exists."

'The house moved... like an earthquake,' woman says of truck's impact
Updated On: Apr 28 2014 04:57:49 PM CDT
A family has been displaced after a pickup truck slammed into their home in rural Washington Township, Berks County, shortly after midnight Saturday morning.
"The house moved... like an earthquake," said Tracy Roberts, who was inside with husband, Rick, and their 12-year-old daughter at the time. The couple is each hearing impaired, but they still felt the crash.
"Everything fell on the floor," said Roberts.
The impact was so severe that it knocked the Hillcrest Road home off its foundation, causing cracks around the entire exterior. The chimney also collapsed onto the garage and shed.
"Everything seemed to be twisted. It did damage on all sides of the home," said Chief Michael Mutter, Eastern Berks Fire Dept.
When crews arrived on the scene, the truck was still lodged in the home's living room corner. Mutter told 69 News that the electric meter box in the basement was also struck, and Met-Ed crews were called to the scene.
"The front of the truck was impacted… like it hit a telephone pole," said Michael Miller, a family relative. "It had to be going over 50 miles an hour."
Fortunately, the Roberts were able to exit the home safely with their two pets. They are currently staying with family nearby.
Officials said the driver was also uninjured and taken from the scene by Pennsylvania State Police troopers.
On Monday, a PSP spokesman could not confirm whether that driver is facing charges in the crash.

This hotel is at a great location to explore the city, and has a lovely lobby (which always seems to be VERY busy - probably because of the free wifi). Room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Wifi was expensive per day and this was a downside. Otherwise this hotel has a great boutique feel and friendly staff.

Earth Class Mail names Carr CEO
Send this to a friend
- John Cook
Earth Class Mail today promoted Sarah Carr to the position of CEO, a move that comes nearly four months after she assumed the role of president and a year after she joined the company as chief operating officer. Carr, who prior to joining Earth Class Mail served as an executive at Print Inc. and Bowne Global, has refocused the company's efforts on small businesses and expanded deals within the postal industry.
The new maneuvers coupled with cost cutting moves are expected to bring Earth Class Mail -- which allows customers to receive postal mail online -- to profitability in the fourth quarter, the company said today.
Carr took over day-to-day duties at the Seattle company from Ron Wiener, who had served as the founding president and CEO. After Wiener moved to the chairman's role, Earth Class Mail operated without a CEO.
Jonathan Roberts, an early investor and board member at Earth Class Mail, said that Carr has shown "exemplary leadership."
"She has not only made strategic changes that will enhance the company's future, but she has also made rapid, effective tactical changes," Roberts said in a statement. "We were very pleased to recognize Sarah's accomplishments by promoting her to CEO."
The new appointment comes a day after Earth Class Mail announced a deal with BankServ to electronically deposit checks received in postal mail to any U.S. bank.

Arizona accident blocks skydivers to break world record
07 April 2014 [12:40] -
A team of 221 skydivers failed with their final attempt to break a world record in a daring jump above the southern Arizona desert on Friday, one day after a colleague died in a previous attempt, organizers said.
Skydivers from 28 countries attempted the feat at about 19,500 feet in the air above the town of Eloy before deploying their parachutes, Gulcin Gilbert, spokeswoman for the World Team group organizing the attempt, said in an email.
The team was trying to break the world record for most skydivers changing from one kaleidoscope-like formation to another in a one jump. The record is currently held by 110 skydivers in Florida.
The attempt failed because two skydivers were out of formation, Gilbert said.
"But the spirit right now is still great," Gilbert said. "Everyone gave their best. After all this record was extremely difficult."
Friday marked the fourth and final planned day of attempts at the popular U.S. skydiving facility about 65 miles south of Phoenix.
Judges from Swiss-based Federation Aeronautique Internationale were present to watch the attempt, Gilbert said.
Skydivers had dedicated the effort on Friday to a veteran German skydiver who was killed when her main parachute malfunctioned during a record-breaking attempt the day before. Berlin's Diana Paris, 46, was pronounced dead at the scene after her main parachute was released too low to allow her reserve parachute to open and she hit the ground, authorities said.
An investigation continues into the woman's death
Organizers said it was the first skydiving fatality in the group's 20-year existence and that safety was foremost in their minds in the 18 months spent preparing for the jump.
Pinpoint precision was required for the attempt at the complicated maneuver, which was set into motion with 10 aircraft taking aloft the team of 221 skydivers.
The team had decided to move ahead despite the fatal accident, leaving a slot open in the formations in honor of the deceased skydiver, Gilbert said.
The accident marked the third skydiving death since December in attempts to break a record in the sport.
At the same facility last December, two skydivers were killed after colliding at a height of between 200 and 300 feet and falling to the ground in what authorities ruled an accident.
Briton Keiron O'Rourke, 40, and Bernd Schmehl, 51, of Germany, were killed when a group of 200 skydivers from another organization tried to break the double-formation record.

Carquest parent sold for $2B to Advance Auto Parts
Send this to a friend
- Amanda Jones Hoyle
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
General Parts International, the Raleigh-based parent company of Carquest Auto Parts, is selling the company to one of its competitors, Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) for about $2 billion.
The deal would create a company with $9.2 billion in annual sales, which would be comparable to industry leader AutoZone Inc. (NYSE: AZO).
General Parts ranks at No. 4 among the country's largest auto parts retailers with about 85 percent of its sales coming from commercial buyers. It has 1,200 company-owned stores. Another 1,400 stores branded by Carquest are independently owned. There are about 20 Carquest stores in the Triad.
The Triangle Business Journal, a sister publication of The Business Journal, had reported in fall 2012 that General Parts had hired Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) to assist in finding a potential buyer for the company that has its headquarters on Millbrook Road in Raleigh.
General Parts International founded by the company's chairman O. Temple Sloan Jr. of Raleigh and is now led by his son, Temple Sloan III, as its president and CEO.
The company ranked at No. 146 among the largest privately-owned companies in the U.S., according to a report in Forbes magazine, with $3 billion in revenue in 2012 and 14,700 employees.
Advance officials estimate that the transaction will result in $160 million in "run-rate synergies" in the next three years, which likely means there will be some consolidation of General Parts-owned stores across the nation. Or perhaps, Advance will reshuffle some of its stores to make sure the single-branded stores pick up the additional revenue. Advance has about 50 stores in the Triad.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui to replace Farhan Akhtar in Shah Rukh starrer 'Raees'?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Arijita Bhowmik | March 14, 2014 10:29 PM EST
Shah Rukh Khan starring "Raees" will have a change in the cast as actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is expected to slip in the role previously allotted to Farhan Akhtar.
Varinder Chawla
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui with partner
Akhtar was initially signed to play the role of a police officer in the Rahul Dholakia film. Latest development however, has forced the "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" star to quit the scene making way for the talented Siddiqui.
Akhtar had committed to the film a long time ago and was even recorded sharing bits about the film, when he revealed that superstar Khan will be seen as a local gangster in the flick.
But now, a major change in the allotted schedule of "Raees" has led to date clashes in the 40-year-old's packed schedule
"With Shah Rukh's injuries, the shoot of "Raees" got pushed forward. Zoya's (Akhtar) "Dil Dhadakne Do" also got delayed and eventually Farhan's dates for "Raees" were clashing with those that he had allotted to Bijoy Nambiar's film for Vinod Chopra. Farhan eventually realised that he would have to let this film go as he didn't want to delay the project any further. If all goes well, "Raees" should now roll post monsoon," informed a source to Times of India.
While Siddiqui's role in the film is expected to be a significant one, but the film's production house, Excel Entertainment, hasn't confirmed the report of his casting yet.
"The Lunchbox" actor is already working with Salman Khan in the upcoming "Kick" and if he comes on board for "Raees," it will be a double bonanza for the acclaimed actor providing him the opportunity to work with the stalwart Khans consecutively.
Siddiqui, however has already worked with the perfectionist Aamir Khan in "Talaash" and was also seen in a minor character in "Sarfarosh."
Meanwhile, the 39-year-old is also in talks of starring in a Varun Dhawan film which is likely to be produced by Saif Ali Khan's production house. The film will feature Huma Qureshi as one of the female leads and is to be directed by Sriram Raghavan of "Agent Vinod" fame.
