Doha - FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam has urged the English Football Association to reconsider their decision to abstain from the election, saying that they are "forfeiting" their right to improve the sport by choosing not to take part.
Bin Hammam, who is the lone challenger to FIFA President Sepp Blatter in the June 1 election, wrote on his website on Tuesday that he respects the FA's position but is disappointed that a national association has decided "not to try to affect change from the inside."
"The FA, with its status as the oldest association in the world and England's position as the birthplace of the modern game, is one of the most important institutions in world football," he wrote. "As a result, they should be working with FIFA and the rest of the global game to improve and enhance football. By choosing to abstain, the FA is, sadly, forfeiting that right."
The FA announced last week that they would not vote for Blatter or bin Hammam. Both men have been tainted by a corruption scandal involving bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Six members of FIFA's executive committee have been accused of receiving or demanded bribes during bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Bin Hammam helped deliver the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, whom are alleged to have paid two FIFA executives $1.5 million each.
The allegations came from evidence the Sunday Times submitted to a British parliamentary inquiry. Blatter has announced FIFA will investigate the claims and that a former bid employee who was a source for some of the allegations would be interviewed on Wednesday.
The Qatar Football Association on Monday welcomed an investigation into allegations of corruption but insisted that the evidence presented so far was false and unsubstantiated. They said the whistleblower is probably a former employee "with a significant axe to grind."
In their one-page letter released to the media, Qatar offered no fresh evidence to refute the claims, but attempted to cast doubt on the Sunday Times allegations, suggesting the methods they used to build the case calls into question the "credibility of the reporters, their motivations and extent to which ... the evidence in any way can be relied upon."

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

The goods: If one of last year's local food trends was wallet-friendly pizza and burger joints, this year brings fast-casual Asian eateries to the scene. Rounding out Woktown in downtown and Sakaya Kitchen in midtown is the new Chow Down Grill in Surfside. Helmed by young chef Josh Marcus (formerly of BLT Steak and China Grill), the hip, date-friendly spot churns out wok-focused Chinese cuisine and French-inspired sandwiches all within a polished setting.
Ambience: The place is small but nicely decked out: mod light fixtures, dark wood tables and comfortable cushioned benches invite you to linger over Japanese beers and dumplings.
The grub: Ingredient-driven Chinese food with a gourmet approach. Unlike traditional Asian cooking, the dishes here are free of MSG, sugar or cornstarch. Marcus relies on French techniques (honed while working with chef Laurent Tourondel) to create his roster of sauces that include Spicy Szechuan, Mongolian barbecue and Green curry.
Prices are low, making it a great option for takeout or lunch. Baguettes sandwiches are $8.50, dumplings and salads are $6-$8 and mains are no more than $14.
Start off with the Chow Down chop salad, a crunchy mix of cabbage, roasted corn, carrot basil and mango dressed with fiery chili lime vinaigrette. Dumplings come with either shrimp, chicken or beef filling and work well with the house made sauces (peanut, chili and Chinese mustard) offered in squeeze bottles on the table. For mains it's a Choose Your Own Adventure situation where you have your pick of six sauces and three proteins (shrimp, organic chicken and Black Angus steak). Go for the shrimp with spicy Szechuan sauce, made from slow roasted tomatoes, mirin (sweet sake), chilis, garlic and vinegar. It comes with fat spears of asparagus and crisp bell peppers. The green curry sauce is a coconut-thickened gravy of cilantro, basil and chili paste. Leafy greens like spinach and fresh veggies like purple potatoes find their way into the wok-seared dishes.
Beers like Sapporo and New England-based Narragansett and wine are offered along with the strong-flavored food. The dessert menu is ever-changing but will always include a bread pudding of some sort, flavored with sweet mirin, Chinese five-spice and flecked with apricots.
The verdict: Go for the fast, inexpensive Chinese with an upscale approach, stay for the cold beers and chef-focused atmosphere at this hip spot in Surfside.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate alternative strategies to enhance participant interaction in library focus groups. Design/methodology/approach – Descriptive alternatives strategies are suggested as techniques to enhance participant interaction in library focus groups. Findings – There are no findings as such, rather this is a paper which suggests different approaches than have hitherto be tried in library focus groups. Originality/value – There has not been a similar article or set of proposed alternative strategies on this subject in so far as library focus groups are concerned.

- Mapping the future: (yin yang) career development collaboration
- Authors: JoAnne Sparks et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 629-644, November 2014. Purpose – (yinyáng in Pinyin) is about interconnectedness rather than opposites. The purpose of this paper is to highlight how collaboration connects and strengthens the efforts across the sector and reinforces how the sum of the parts is greater than any one university alone. This paper shares the experience of conducting a collaborative project with three universities. It illustrates the fine balancing act of collaboration (yin) with competition (yang) amongst three of Australia's higher education institutions at a national level, with the aim of contributing to the career development of professionals in the fields of library services and eResearch. Design/methodology/approach – Bond University, University of Western Australia and Griffith University have collaborated to develop a career mapping toolkit which builds on an earlier commissioned project completed by Council of Australian IT Directors (CAUDIT) focusing on enterprise information technology roles. This tri-institutional collaborative project reviews in detail the skills, knowledge and abilities of library and eResearch management roles in the respective organisations. Findings – This project has been hugely rewarding for the initial three project partners who worked and collaborated well together, successfully completing project goals within agreed timeframes. Looking forward, career pathing will become more widespread as managers receive the requisite training, take ownership of these activities and grow to fully realise the value and potential of active career management to team performance. Ultimately, the use of the career pathing toolkit will enhance career satisfaction of the individual which in turn will lift the productivity of the organisational unit. Research limitations/implications – To ensure the ongoing viability of the career pathing toolkit, it is necessary to measure its relevance and effectiveness: each institution is confident in adopting/modifying the final product for internal use. This demonstrates confidence in the quality of the work produced by the other collaborators; adoption of the product by institutions which were not part of the initial collaboration; and willingness of another institution (not originally involved) to join the collaborative project and make a contribution. Practical implications – The catalyst for collaboration between the three universities was realised when the authors saw an opportunity to address the important and pressing issue of career and workforce planning as a partnership project. The main objective for collaboration was to achieve a more comprehensive and speedier project outcome. Social implications – This paper shares the outcomes of the project which illustrates the fine balancing act of collaboration (yin) with competition (yang) amongst three of Australia's higher education institutions at a national level, with the aim of contributing to the career development of professionals in the fields of library and eResearch. Originality/value – The aim is to develop a toolkit that: catalogues and maps the core professional roles needed in the next two to three years in the respective institutions; and specifies the knowledge and experience required in each core professional area including where there is overlap. In essence, the career map provides a toolkit for identifying the knowledge areas and skills, abilities and competencies required for each core area (organised by career streams) and professional role.

- Multiple constituencies model in the identification of library
- Authors: Susan A. Henricks et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 645-665, November 2014. Purpose – Public libraries can benefit from understanding the perspectives of various stakeholders leading to the development of measures for decision making and competing for funding as well as demonstrating accountability. The purpose of this paper is to examine library effectiveness from the perspective of multiple stakeholders from a list of indicators pertinent to today and to determine which are most important to a constituency of a single library and any differences among the various constituencies. Design/methodology/approach – A survey that listed indicators of effectiveness for a public library was given to four stakeholder groups of a city library: employees, library board, library foundation members, and the public. Findings – Of the 51 indicators, 39 comprised eight dimensions of effectiveness under the labels of: user experience, facility, digital collection, social media and board, community use, employees, administration, and collection management. The number of statistically significant differences was greatest between the library board and the public as well as the employees and the public. Originality/value – Indicators of public library effectiveness have not been updated for the twenty-first century.

- Authors: Vicki Lawal et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 607-628, November 2014. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential role of information literacy (IL) within the changing context of the e-learning environment at the University of Jos in recent years. It focuses and emphasises the role of the University library in facilitating teaching and learning through the use of e-learning platforms in teaching information retrieval skills. The paper aims to identify gaps in students' information skills that could be addressed through IL instruction. Design/methodology/approach – The study employed a case study research design while the methodology involved the administration of structured questionnaires to the two groups of respondents. Findings – Findings from the study provide useful insights to the skills challenges experienced by students and point to a need for effective collaboration between the library, faculty and management in order to promote a better approach to learning at the institution. Originality/value – By emphasising the role of the library, the paper contributes to previous studies on e-learning at the University and provides a basis for further research in this regard.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain how Edith Cowan University (ECU) Library improved the accessibility of their web site, aiming for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 Level AA. It describes the results obtained. Design/methodology/approach – Initial testing by consultants was conducted in October 2012. The web site was defined as all webpages which appear part of the library web site, including supplier webpages, plus pages from the university web site and library web site. Library staff applied the recommendations to pages which they could edit, and discussed the recommendations with suppliers to improve their product's accessibility. The web site was re-tested in June 2013. Findings – ECU Library web site failed WCAG 2.0 Level A standard in the initial testing and re-testing. Many individual pages which failed initially passed the re-test. The smallest improvement was seen in suppliers' web sites. Practical implications – This paper could help libraries to improve web site accessibility, as it covers negotiating with suppliers to upgrade their web sites, plus upgrading editable webpages. It shows initial and re-test results, allowing libraries to compare their results to those of ECU. Legislation and guidelines state web sites should be accessible to all users and organisations providing non-accessible web sites risk being sued. Social implications – A web site not complying with WCAG version 2.0 would be very difficult for people with disabilities to access. Upgrading ECU Library's web site will provide all users with more equal access to the resources. Originality/value – This study describes problems in upgrading academic library webpages and related supplier web sites and organisation web site to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

- Culture, politics and university library consortia in china and the US
- Authors: D. E. Perushek et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 594-606, November 2014. Purpose – Using three university library consortia China Academic Library and Information System (CALIS) (China), Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) (USA) and Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee (JULAC) (Hong Kong) as examples, the purpose of this paper is to compare the administration of three university consortia and to explore the cultural, educational and geopolitical forces that produce and shape university library consortia. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used reviewed published and proprietary documents, interviews and observation. Findings – While the stated objectives are similar, the three vary markedly in size, funding source, and whether programming is a bottom-up decision or emanates from the central government. CALIS was started by China's Ministry of Education, who also helps in setting programmatic agendas and appointing managers; GWLA came into existence through the efforts of a small group of university librarians, elect their own board and set programming in response to member needs and suggestions; JULAC, initiated by the university librarians in Hong Kong has some support from the government through bodies charged with the oversight of the universities. The differing educational systems also influence programming, for example in the relative importance member libraries place on preferential inter-library loan. Originality/value – There are few comparative studies of library consortia found in Asia and the US comparative studies of consortia encourage an understanding of the benefits of different consortia models.

- Institutions collaborating on an information literacy assessment tool
- Authors: Sara Sharun et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 538-546, November 2014. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to create an information literacy (IL) instruction assessment tool that responds to the unique needs of individual institutions and provides a strategic and relevant model for assessing IL skills among undergraduate students. Design/methodology/approach – The research team designed a post-test questionnaire comprised of two demographic questions, two open-ended questions and a pool of skill-based multiple-choice questions mapped to Association of College and Research Libraries Information Literacy (ACRL IL) Competency Standards for Higher Education. Participating librarians used a customized questionnaire to assess student learning at the end of their one-shot instruction sessions. Findings – In their responses to the multiple-choice questions, students demonstrated a clear understanding of ethical use of information and a strong ability to select appropriate tools for accessing information sources. Student responses to the open-ended questions revealed a wide range of confidence and ability levels, and provided insight into the frequency, depth and breadth with which various ACRL Standards are being addressed in library sessions. Research limitations/implications – This paper reports on student responses to questions that have subsequently been identified as problematic; therefore, strong inferences cannot be made about student learning from these responses. Questions have since been improved with further revision. In addition, the sample sizes for individual questions were too small to be generalizable. Practical implications – The intentional and strategic approach to the development of the assessment tool and its implementation is that it be practical and easy to implement for partner libraries. It is intended to make assessment of IL in the undergraduate context be assessable to all academic librarians who desire to participate. Originality/value – This paper describes a unique assessment tool that is designed to be responsive to local needs and provide a cost-free assessment option for academic libraries.

- "Making space" in practice and education: research support
services in academic libraries
- Authors: Mary Anne Kennan et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 666-683, November 2014. Purpose – How academic libraries support the research of their parent institutions has changed as a result of forces such as changing scholarly communication practices, technological developments, reduced purchasing power and changes in academic culture. The purpose of this paper is to examine the professional and educational implications of current and emerging research support environments for academic libraries, particularly with regard to research data management and bibliometrics and discuss how do professionals and educators "make space" as new service demands arise' Design/methodology/approach – The present paper uses data from a recent survey of research support provision by academic libraries in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland, (authors 2013), and provides additional in depth analysis of the textual responses to extend the analysis in the light of forces for change in higher education. The original online questionnaire surveyed current and planned research support in academic libraries, and constraints or support needs related to service developments. It was distributed to 219 institutions in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland, and obtained 140 valid responses (response rate of 63.9 percent). Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics with thematic categorization and coding for the textual responses. Findings – Most academic libraries surveyed are already providing or planning services in the focal areas of bibliometrics and data management. There was also increasing demand for other research support services, not the focus of the study, such as eresearch support, journal publishing platforms, and grant writing support. The authors found that while many academic libraries perceive increasing research support services as a "huge opportunity" they were constrained by gaps in staff skills, knowledge, and confidence and resourcing issues. With regard to staff education and training, it was reported they require a broader understanding of the changing research and scholarly landscape, the research cultures of different disciplines, and technological change. There was a near-universal support for development of more comprehensive, specialized, LIS education to prepare professionals for broader research support roles. Originality/value – This further analysis of the implications of our survey in relation to influences such as economics, academic culture, technology, raises questions for both educators and practitioners about the future direction of the profession and how the authors collectively "make space" as new potential services arise.

- Interdisciplinary librarians: self-reported non-LIS scholarship and
creative work
- Authors: Susan E. Thomas et al
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 547-557, November 2014. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to interpret and discuss survey results of a study of academic librarians' scholarship and creative work outside of library and information science in order to reveal some librarians' motivations to perform such work as well as their perceptions of administrators' attitudes toward it. Design/methodology/approach – The authors published a link to a qualitative survey instrument on COLLIB-L and ULS-L, the e-mail lists for the college libraries section and the university libraries section of American Library Association, asking that only academic librarians engaged in scholarship and creative work outside of library and information science participate. This paper is an exploratory analysis of the survey results. Findings – Librarians reported that they produce such work for many reasons, including personal satisfaction, dynamic and successful liaison work, and ongoing commitment to scholarship and creative work. Academic librarians who produce non-LIS work do so with varying levels of support, and the recognition of such work is inconsistent among institutions. Originality/value – The authors are the first to query American academic librarians specifically about their scholarship or creative work outside of library and information science. Managers and administrators will glean much about academic librarians' attitudes toward such work and how it adds value to the library operation and institution. Findings could affect criteria for reappointment, promotion, and tenure.

- 23 Mobile Things: self-directed and effective professional learning
- Authors: Michael Stephens
Abstract: Library Management, Volume 35, Issue 8/9, Page 582-593, November 2014. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the "Mobile 23 Things" survey results from the program offered by Guldborgsund-bibliotekerne (a public library in Denmark) and present the findings as support for professional development (PD) models to increase library staff familiarity with emerging technologies. Design/methodology/approach – Using an integrated, exploratory approach, a web-based survey tool, developed for a previous Learning 2.0 study, was adapted for this study, with survey questions translated English – Danish, and responses Danish – English. The data gathered from both pre- and post-program surveys are presented and analyzed. Findings – The research results identify that 23 Mobile Things increases familiarity with movable technologies, promotes inclusive learning, and can be an effective model for delivering PD. Originality/value – This paper reports on the first research study to evaluate the 23 Mobile Things model and provides evidence that this model of library staff PD can be an overall beneficial experience that increases staff knowledge and expertise related to mobile devices and applications.

—Spread the Word: Scientist and author Alan Lightman speaks at Rhodes
Physicist and writer Dr. Alan Lightman is preoccupied with the tension between science and religion.
In the preface to his latest book, published in January, "The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew," he writes, "I would argue that there are many universes within our one universe, some visible and some not. Certainly there are many different vantage points. These essays explore some of the views, both the known and the unknown."
Lightman, professor of humanities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a self-proclaimed atheist, but he sounds more like an agnostic. He leaves room for mystery.
"Does God Exist? The case for reconciling the scientific with the divine — and against the anti-religion of Richard Dawkins," read the headline of an article he wrote for Salon in 2011.
Lightman is the author of nonfiction as well as novels. His first novel, "Einstein's Dreams" (1994), was a bestseller. His latest novel, "Mr g: A Novel About the Creation" (2012), is the story of creation, as told by God.
A graduate of White Station High School, Lightman will return home on Thursday to give a lecture on "Science and Religion" at Rhodes College, 2000 North Parkway.
There will be a reception at 6:30 p.m. in the BCLC Crain Reception Hall, and the lecture will be at 7:30 p.m. in the McCallum Ballroom of the Bryan Campus Life Center.
For information, contact Eva Owens at email@example.com or 901-843-3918.
Other stops
Lightman will journey over to the Cooper-Young neighborhood on Friday to read from "The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew" at Burke's Book Store, 936 S. Cooper from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Lightman will give introductory remarks at a Memphis Cambodia event that will take place from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 8 at Bridges, 477 N. Fifth.
Memphis Cambodia is a partner of an organization that Lightman founded, Harpswell Foundation, in order "to empower a new generation of Cambodian women."
The speakers are Cambodians Lina Hun and Bormey Sivorn who are at Rhodes College on postgraduate fellowships arranged by Harpswell. Both women lost family members during the genocide that took place in Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.
The documentary "Girl Rising" will be shown.
About C.S. Lewis
Two nights this month homage will be paid to the ever-popular, often-quoted C.S. Lewis.
The Christian apologist, Oxford don, and the master of clear prose, was the author of more than 30 books, including "Mere Christianity" and the series "The Chronicles of Narnia."
Dr. Hal Poe, Charles Colson Professor of Faith and Culture and special assistant to the president of Union University, will speak on "The Life and Writings of C.S. Lewis: Speaking Across Time and Culture" at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and Feb. 12. A free dinner will be served for those who reserve a spot by the Monday before each talk.
Contact Cindy Sloan at 901-682-3395 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Second Baptist Church is at 4680 Walnut Grove.

Rosicky's thunderbolt settles north London derby
Steven Gerrard scored twice from the penalty spot and missed another spot kick as Liverpool enhanced its title challenge with a 3-0 win over Manchester United. The host also had captain Nemanja Vidic sent off. The victory leaves Brendan Rodgers's side four points behind leader Chelsea, which fell to a shock 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa.
Arsenal later pulled level with it by beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the north-London derby, with Tomas Rosicky getting the only goal after 72 seconds. Manchester City is two points behind, having played two games fewer.
"I think we've shown today that we're genuine (title) contenders and we're going to fight until the end for this," Gerrard said. "We believe it. I've said it many times, in football it's one of the easiest things to talk the talk — we've got to go and treat Cardiff like Manchester United. We've got to treat Sunderland like Manchester United and if we do, we'll win a lot of games from now until the end of the season."
"It's a nightmare," said United forward Wayne Rooney. "It's one of the worst days I've ever had in football."
Liverpool was the brighter side in the first half and got its reward after 34 minutes when Rafael handled in the box. Liverpool believed he should have been shown a second yellow card for the offence. He stayed on, but Gerrard calmly converted the penalty.
A minute into the second half, it doubled its lead, Gerrard going the same way from the spot after Phil Jones had bundled over Joe Allen. The Liverpool captain had another chance from the spot after 77 minutes when Daniel Sturridge had tumbled over the challenge from Vidic, who was shown a second yellow for his fourth red card against Liverpool.
This time Gerrard went left, but hit the post. Remarkably, he should have had another chance four minutes later when Sturridge was tripped by Michael Carrick in the box, but this time the referee turned down the appeal. Still, Liverpool added a third — Sturridge's mishit fell kindly for Suarez, who slammed home his 25th goal of the season.
It took Arsenal just 72 seconds to take the lead at White Hart Lane, with Rosicky smashing an angled shot into the top corner after an initial pass had bounced off Olivier Giroud. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain a persistent threat with his runs from deep, Arsenal had the better of the chances in a frantic first half, although Emmanuel Adebayor did go close from a Kyle Naughton cross.
Nacer Chadli had three glorious chances to level in the first seven minutes of the second half. First, he dallied after Wojciech Szczesny had fumbled, allowing Bacary Sagna to get back and clear, then Laurent Koscileny cleared off the line after Szczesny had dropped another cross. And then, he couldn't adjust his feet to make meaningful contact on a low Andros Townsend cross that flashed across the six-yard box. Tottenham had almost all the play after that — by the end, Arsenal was playing a back five with Nacho Monreal, a left-back, in midfield, but it was all too hurried and Arsenal closed the game out with relative ease.
The results:
On Sunday: Manchester United 0 lost to Liverpool 3 (Gerrard 34-pen, 46-pen, Suarez 84); Tottenham 0 lost to Arsenal 1 (Rosicky 2).
On Saturday: Aston Villa 1 (Delph 82) bt Chelsea 0.

Pond hockey set for weekend at White Park in Concord
Volunteers Bob Graffy, right, and Doug Davis, both of Concord, put together boards while preparing for the Black Ice Pond Hockey Championship at White Pond in Concord. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Starting today at 9 a.m. at the White Park pond, there will be 85 teams competing from throughout the country.
"There will be over 600 players competing in the tournament Friday and Saturday, ages 18 up to people in their mid to late 60s," said Chris Brown, organizer of the tournament. "This is a park that local people have a lot of history with, whether it was learning how to skate, play baseball, or even snowboard at an early age. It's a park in town that has a lot of connections to people's upbringing. This is a weekend tournament where you can bring your entire family and have fun."
Brown said there will be 85 games today, made up of two 15-minute periods.
The games are running time and there are no referees.
There will be eight 64-by-120 rinks to play on. There are no goalies and no goal.
Each team will have seven players on the roster and only four can play on any shift.
On each end of the rinks there is a 6-by-2 size box where teams attempt to shoot the puck through a slot for a score.
"It's a tournament run by gentlemen's and ladies' rule," said Brown. "There's no hard checking or physical hits allowed in the games."
Minor penalties like tripping and pucks shot out of bounds result in a change of possession.
After each goal the team scored upon takes the puck out of the box and drops it to the ice to resume play.
On Saturday, action continues at 8 a.m. and runs throughout the day to 7:20 p.m. On Sunday, starting at 9 a.m. the semifinals in each division will be held, followed by the finals.
There are six overall divisions: 18-and-over Open, 18-and-over recreational, women's division, 35-and-over A Divison, 35-and-over B Division and, 50-plus division. A brief ceremony following the championship games will be held around noon.
Brown said the Jack Edwards Teeth/Cheer team of Concord will return as the two-time open division champion.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, as he did last year, will be competing in the 50-plus division.
The public is welcome and admission is free.
Fireworks will start at 7:15 p.m. Friday at White Park, which is on the corner of Washington Street and Centre Street.

Film Review: Feed (2005)
SYNOPSIS: A small Mid-western town is thrust into chaos after an airborne virus swiftly turns most of the locals into raving mad zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living! Caught amidst the epidemic is an eclectic group of survivors who've been hiding out in a ram- shackled farmhouse. Now running low on food, water and vital ammunition to keep the growing number of living dead at bay, they pack up their gear and set … Continue reading

Voting has always been advertised as heroic, patriotic! Only the well informed should vote. But the people up for election are picked and funded by the very rich and privileged and no real information is given. Example a, U.S. Senator for N.C. Choices; persons funded by polluters and mega-billion dollar corporations, or Medical insurance and military industry. It's like the definition of crazy, "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." You only get to vote for who the rich and privileged want and have paid for. Maybe that explains the low voting turn out. Maybe people have learned the politicians appeal to the young and those lacking knowledge.
I should like to thank the person who put on their hazard lights, on Broad Creek Road, about 6:50 a.m. on Oct. 17, to warn the outbound traffic of a dead deer, in the middle of the right hand lane. This kind person waved us on, but I am sure waited for the authorities to arrive. It must have been a great inconvenience for them, but greatly appreciated by those using the road.
With all the name calling, finger pointing, cat fighting between Kay Hagan and Thom Tillis going on is there anyone else out there adult enough, that wants to represent North Carolina for what it should be and not what it's going to be, to vote for in the upcoming election?
Havelock registered voters, please get out and vote this coming election. How embarrassing when a largely retired military town — people who have given a large part of their lives for the protection of our country, men and women both and when the election days now are 10 days total they still do not take time to vote. I checked the totals last voting and the percentage of registered voters in Havelock that voted was about 3 percent. What that is doing to your kids future is a real problem. Our forefathers believed in God, our country was founded on God and now the kids can't even say God Bless when someone sneezes. The people that control our lives are getting so it will be hard to breath pretty soon.
It speaks well of the local film crews and the perseverance of those working to keep North Carolina's film industry strong that CBS' "Under the Dome" has announced that it will remain in Wilmington for the upcoming season.
Susan Moffatt Thomas, this was the worst Mumfest ever! (Your original idea, right?) What happened to the talented vendors of years back? Now it's just junk and bad food. You need to follow up and improve your original plan. It was dirty and awful!
I am looking for self motivated individuals who wish to be a valued member within a highly respected, and values based organization. Currently, my organization is one of the top employers in North Carolina employing 2,640 young men and women across the state in the last fiscal year. This year I am hoping to exceed previous success and provide employment opportunity for more than 2,800 North Carolinians. My organization initially hires qualified young men and women from three to six years. However, we provide options to extend their contracts and the opportunity for travel, promotion and skilled training.
Finally, Marshall Adame, candidate for representative from Congressional District 3, is gaining the recognition he very much deserves, as evidenced by your recent straw poll. He has served our country for 40 years, ALL of his adult life, from the Vietnam jungles as a teenager to the deserts of the Middle East, investigating scamming military contracts from around the world.
Being bullied isn't a childhood or teenage rite of passage.
We interrupt the steady diet of recent bad news with this heartening fact: Fewer teens are getting pregnant in North Carolina and the nation than at any time in recorded history. READ MORE

Deal: Canon EOS M w/ 18-55mm IS STM – $305
|Rakuten (seller: 6ave) has the Canon EOS M with the EF-M 18-55mm IS STM lens on sale for $304.99.Very good price for the kit.
|Rakuten (seller: 6ave) has the Canon EOS M with the EF-M 18-55mm IS STM lens on sale for $304.99.Very good price for the kit.
Another competitor is entering the 24-70mm game for full-frame DSLRs. The Tokina AT-X PRO 24–70 mm f/2.8 SD (IF) FX was seen on display at CP+. The lens is rumored to be announced at Photokina later this year.
It's getting crowded in the 24-70mm offerings. Besides Canon's own EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM (price & specs) and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM (price & specs), there are also the Tamron AF 24-70mm f/2.8 VC (price & specs) and the also rumored Sigma 24-70mm f/2 OS HSM (expected to be announced during 2014) not to mention the highly popular Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (price & specs) and the new, outstanding Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM (price & specs), which is defined as the new reference standard for professionals by DxOMark.
[Optyczne via Photo Rumors]
DxOMark tested the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens, Tamron latest image-stabilized ultra-zoom. Tamron made a lens that sells for $1069 (Adorama | B&H Photo) and offers a lot of bang for the money. Good sharpness, a great telephoto range, and accurate and quick auto-focus are among the highlights of this lens.
DxOMark reviewed the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III (price & specs) and an EOS 7D (price & specs). In the conclusion they write:
If Tamron built this lens to outperform the Sigma offering then they succeeded with full frame cameras. The gain in performance over their rival's offering is less noticeable on the APS-C cameras. Despite that, the image quality is a slight improvement over the Sigma. Given the longer range and similar price, it's a pretty impressive achievement.
The Tamron even outperforms the pricier Canon lens on the full frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III though it's less convincing when compared with the Canon EOS 7D. There's likely too little in it to switch but for first-time buyers the new Tamron is attractive proposition.
The Tamron SP 150-600mm was compared to other lenses:

Canon Europe published a brochure entitled "Story of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II Development", and it can be downloaded as a 6.4MB PDF. The G1 X II sells for $799 and is expected to ship in April-May 2014.
About development and planning of the Powershot G1X Mark II:
The planning and development of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II has been achieved through the efforts of a large team at Canon's Headquarters in Japan. Their words have been edited to provide a fascinating insight in to the development of this remarkable camera.
Photographers and survey results from users provided a vast amount of feedback, and Canon's engineers improved everything they could. A lot of requests were regarding macro performance, and the minimum focusing distance has been improved from 20 cm to 5 cm. Autofocus is also approximately twice as fast by improving the optics and sensor. Particularly difficult adjustments were necessary for the optics, but if these high ideals could not be achieved, this would not be a flagship model. The enthusiasm of the Canon engineers drove these developments, and, as a result, a shooting range that would not be possible with an SLR with just one interchangeable lens has been achieved.
The Canon Powershot G1 X II was announced February 12th, and can be pre-ordered for $799 at Amazon | B&H Photo | Adorama.
Powershot G1 X II accessories:
Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo have landing pages with pre-order links for all the new Canon Powershot cameras announced on February 12th.

Tarrant County got a dose of much-needed rain Saturday, while dodging most of the severe weather.By 8 p.m., 1.29 inches of rain fell at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, easily surpassing the total of 0.84 inch so far this year, according to the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth. It was the most rain since Dec. 21."We definitely needed this rain," said Nick Hampshire, a Weather Service meteorologist. "We're transitioning from winter to spring, and showers like this are more common."Most of the showers tapered off by 8 p.m. and moved east, Hampshire said.Storms caused some to lose power. At 8:20 p.m., more than 1,800 households in Tarrant County lacked power, according to Oncor's website.For the most part, however, severe storms bypassed the Fort Worth area, instead hitting Abilene, Comanche and Glen Rose, which reported large hail and damaging winds. Collin County also reported heavy winds."We got pretty lucky in Tarrant County," Hampshire said. "We just got a good rain."Today will feel a bit more like winter, Hampshire added, with highs in the 40s and a slight chance for more showers. Wind gusts could reach 35 to 40 mph.

We present the results of the first spectroscopic follow-up of 132 optically blue ultraviolet (UV)-excess sources selected from the UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (UVEX). The UV-excess spectra are classified into different populations and grids of model spectra are fitted to determine spectral types, temperatures, surface gravities and reddening. From this initial spectroscopic follow-up 95 per cent of the UV-excess candidates turn out to be genuine UV-excess sources such as white dwarfs, white dwarf binaries, subdwarf types O and B, emission-line stars and quasi stellar objects. The remaining sources are classified as slightly reddened main-sequence stars with spectral types later than A0V. The fraction of DA white dwarfs is 47 per cent with reddening smaller than E(B − V) ≤ 0.7 mag. Relations between the different populations and their UVEX photometry, Galactic latitude and reddening are shown. A larger fraction of UVEX white dwarfs is found at magnitudes fainter than g > 17 and Galactic latitude smaller than |b| < 4 compared to main-sequence stars, blue horizontal branch stars and subdwarfs.

Apr 8, 2011Arthur he does what he pleases - which, apparently, is to come up with nary a shred of original thought. It's an un-calculated, rushed and by-the-numbers remake with a little bit of heart and almost no soul...but it's not awful. It's meandering and hollow with glimmers of promise, faint touches of cute and a whole lot of harmless, reigned-in Russell Brand humor taking center stage. Let's say the filmmakers truly were caught between the moon and New York City in recreating an 80's gem...is this really the best that they could do?!… Full Review »
Apr 10, 2011This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. It has a few fun moments, but its true worth comes from its reminding you of how good the original is. Dudley & Liza are so incredibly good, and they tower over Brand & Gerwig. And what the hell happened to Nick Nolte? He looks like a sunburned Nick Nolte blow-up doll in this movie. The 3 points I give to this film all belong to Mirren (who is brilliant), but she's not nearly enough to put it into recommended territory. The scene from the original in which the grandmother decides that "No Bach will be Poor" and gives him the money was priceless - and it's completely lost in this version. And all the comedy from Liza Minelli's dad in the original - lost in this one as well. Oh well - they dumbed it down like everything else it seems.… Full Review »

Publisher's Description
A routine mob hit lights the fuse on an explosive collision of ambition and deception inside the Windy City's corridors of power in this audio edition of The Ambition.
Drawing on his years as an investigative reporter for The Chicago Tribune, bestselling author Lee Strobel reveals an insider's tale of power, politics, and payoffs ripped from today's headlines.
When a down-on-his-luck lawyer must bribe a federal judge to fix an upcoming mob trial, he secretly tapes the exchange to protect himself. After the dirty judge becomes a finalist for an open U.S. Senate seat, the incriminating tape isn't the only thing standing in his way. Pastor-turned-politician Eric Snow is determined to use his suburban megachurch as a launching pad for securing the Senate appointment. And newspaper reporter Garry Strider threatens to uncover both candidates' secrets in an investigation that may cost him his life.
Strobel weaves these edgy characters into an intricate thriller set in a gleaming, suburban megachurch, a big-city newspaper struggling for survival, and the shadowy corridors of political intrigue. The unexpected climax is as gripping as the contract killing that punctuates the opening scene.
