The staff, especially in the breakfast area, was exceptional. They were very polite, the food was delicious, and they kept refilling it, even close to when it was no longer being served. I would definitely stay again!!!
The parking lot is a little small -- we did find a space each night, but only just.
Very clean, nice-sized rooms, excellent pillows, fine breakfast.
Very nice, clean, reasonable. Wifi fine, AC worked on sweltering night. There is a beautiful, large lawn in front extending down to lakefront with lawn chairs and tables. I would have taken advantage of it, had it not been for the oppressive heat.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

Home BancShares, Inc. Announces Record Quarterly Net Income Of $17.7 Million
CONWAY, Ark., July 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOMB), parent company of Centennial Bank, today announced second quarter net income of $17.7 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per common share, compared to $15.5 million of net income, or $0.27 diluted earnings per common share (split adjusted) for the same quarter in 2012. The Company increased its second quarter earnings by $2.2 million or 14.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period of the previous year.
Because acquisitions are growth and capital management strategies, earnings excluding amortization of intangibles after-tax are useful in evaluating the Company. Diluted earnings per common share excluding intangible amortization for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.32 compared to $0.28 diluted earnings per common share excluding intangible amortization (split adjusted) for the same period in 2012.
"The second quarter's record net income is another exceptional achievement for Home BancShares," said John Allison, Chairman. "We also continue to exhibit strong capital levels, which remain considerably above the regulators' capital requirements. These strong reserves placed us in a position to participate in an opportunity like the recently announced Liberty Bank market acquisition. Merging these two similarly sized Arkansas-based companies with comparable cultures and history is a game-changer for Home BancShares. We are confidently optimistic of the Company's continued bright future when Liberty gets on board."Randy Sims, Chief Executive Officer, added, "For the ninth consecutive quarter in the Company's history, we have again reported the most profitable quarter, increasing net income by $111,000 or 0.6% from our previously reported record earnings. Not only did the Company display an outstanding return on average assets of 1.71% for the second quarter of 2013, but we also improved our net interest margin by 53 basis points when comparing the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2012."

Comments about Avery® Legal Index Exhibit Dividers; Numerical 76-100 & Table of Contents, Letter Size:
We need these for trials and it would be great if they offered higher numbers like 200-300 even if we had to custom order. I always have exhibit numbers over 100. Then I have to make my own and that is time consuming.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

'The Voice' songstress rocked one of spring's hottest trends, black and white, for the big show — but it wasn't long before she swapped her flirty mini for a sexy, sheer performance look! Which outfit did you like better?
Shakira flaunted her toned legs at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in LA on May 1, where the hot mama arrived clad in a black and white dress which featured short sleeves and a fit-and-flare skirt. The ensemble, which tightened around the star's tiny waist, made it easy to see that Shakira is in amazing shape — and we loved her outfit! While so many stars decided to dress seriously sexy, we liked how she opted for a feminine and flirty vibe while also showing off one of the hottest trend's of the current season — wearing black and white!
Shakira's iHeartRadio Music Awards Dress & Performance Outfit:
The petite star paired her fun frock with a towering pair of Christian Louboutin pumps, giving her some extra height, as her long, blonde hair came tumbling down her shoulders in a mass of undone waves. Is it just me, or does Shakira just always ooze sex appeal?
Shakira's iHeartRadio Music Awards Performance Outfit:
While I couldn't get enough of Shakira's mini, it wasn't long before she traded her sweet dress for a sexy look for her performance, which was all black. The star's lacy shirt had a sheer element to it, allowing her to show some skin and balance out her pants while she sang her new song, "Empire" — and we're sure her "Can't Remember To Forget You" collaborator, Rihanna, appreciated it! After all, RiRi was clad in an entirely sheer lace dress — hey, did these two coordinate their looks?
Shakira finished off her stage style with a pair of skintight, black ripped jeans, which allowed her to show off her svelte frame.
Which look did you like better on Shakira? Was it her performance get-up or her flirty arrival frock? VOTE.

Pain Intensity May Help Differentiate 2 Skin Cancers
FRIDAY, Dec. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Painful and itchy skin lesions may be a sign of a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at data from nearly 500 patients treated for either basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, the two most common types of skin cancer.
Itch was the most common symptom reported in both skin cancers -- 43 percent of patients with squamous cell and 33 percent of those with basal cell reported the symptom. Pain was much more common in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (almost 40 percent) than in those with basal cell carcinoma (nearly 18 percent), the investigators found.
A patient's pain score was an important predictor of having squamous cell instead of basal cell carcinoma, said study author Gil Yosipovitch, a professor of dermatology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"We have shown the intensity of pain to be a unique factor to help in differentiating [squamous cell carcinoma] from [basal cell carcinoma]," Yosipovitch said in a medical center news release. "The results of this study suggest that a simple assessment of pain intensity will aid in the clinical diagnosis of [squamous cell carcinoma] and lead to earlier, appropriately aggressive treatment for these cancerous lesions that are more aggressive than [basal cell carcinoma]."
The findings were published in a letter in the Dec. 17 online edition of the journal Archives of Dermatology.
Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are non-melanoma skin cancers. About 4 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancers are diagnosed in the United States each year.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about squamous cell carcinoma.

The 10 Best Sights of San Diego Comic-Con 2013
San Diego Comic-Con 2013 has concluded and we've got the sunburns from waiting on line to prove it. These were the 10 best moments of the show.
By Jordan Hoffman
We're at a point where it's not just movies being remade, but television documentaries too. Seth MacFarlane (yes, the Family Guy guy) and astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson have joined forces for an update of Carl Sagan's landmark miniseries Cosmos, which will explode and expand on the Fox Network next year. The teaser that debuted at Comic-Con looks big, beautiful, and, if you have a good memory, true to the original. Like Sagan, Tyson will do his best to explain relativity and quantum mechanics to a wide audience using high-tech graphics and special effects. There will even be moments of him soaring the galaxy in a starship.

You might say that the history of this restaurant goes back to 1660, though that would be a bit of a stretch. But The Fort is named for the real fort that John Pynchon built that year, on what is now the site of the restaurant, to defend the fledgling city of Springfield. The old fort stood here until 1831. In 1935 the Student Prince Café opened, offering German food and displaying 20 steins at the bar; they became the core of the large collection to be seen at the bar today. The Fort's dining room, with stained glass windows made by German artisans, opened in 1946. In 1949 Rupprecht Scherff came to work at the Student Prince, and 12 years later he became the restaurant's owner.
The Scherff family still operates the restaurant, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Classic dishes like sauerbraten, sausage and wienerschnitzel, the favorite of current owner Rudi Scherff, are the stock-in-trade of this restaurant. Meat is cut in-house. Desserts such as strudel and tortes—including the "Midnight Moonlight" cake, a chocolate and vanilla confection with mousse filling—are made by the restaurant's own pastry chef.
The Fort/ Student Prince is a comfortable place for intimate meetings and for large parties. The recession has made some changes, though not deep ones, in the current operations of the restaurant, Scherff said. "The higher-end steaks are slow," he explained. "People will order one drink instead of two. But if you've got people in the seats, you can keep it open." The Fort has long been famous as a meeting place for local movers and shakers, and still is; said Scherff, "We get all the pols." As the city's fortunes go up and down, as what's outside the doors changes, the restaurant stays the same. There's always the comfort of the dining room, the charm of the stained glass windows, the coziness of the bar with its stein collection, the in-house butchering and baking. In this world apart, politicians have collaborated for better or for worse, and generations have celebrated the milestones of their lives. The Fort is a comfort zone in the city, a warm place that draws people in from the cold.

Meeting Minutes from Monday, September 16, 2013
Jo Brill, Natalie Sutton, Paul Morley, David Cooke, Annie Hunt, Amanda Fermar, Steph Monk, April Burchmore, Alison McDonald, Melissa Ellement, Sharon Hulley, Emma Maxwell, Jemma Welch, Mrs Mullan
Music Investment ‐ Mrs Whitehouse gave presentation
- Ravenscote is the only state school in area with a full time music specialist
- New music room in one of the new huts. But it is lacking in up to date sound equipment in the music room. Current equipment dates to 2005 and can only play cds/tapes, only has three jacks and 2 speakers. It is very crackly and not used.
- Needs for new music room are:
- CD Player
- Amplifier
- Speakers
- IPod/Memory Stick Connections
- Minimum 6 Channel Mixer
- 4 Quality Wired Microphones(better quality than wireless)
- This would enrich learning because:
- Better listening with quality equipment
- Pupils can use own ipods/Memory Sticks
- Quality microphones for solo singing in classrooms
- Do not want to have to share microphones
- Can be used for concerts and assemblies too.
- Three Quotes were obtained: (full details of quotes available)
- Ascrobra in Watford: £2730. This company not been to the school yet, but is offering a support package too.
- Wizard Lighting in Woking: £2665. Company used for Hairspray production last year, and they have been to the school. This quote includes 7 microphones.
- Chamberlain Music ‐ Surrey's largest music store: £1500. This is a portable system, and would still need to purchase CD Player/Microphones/Cables and leads.
- Mrs Whitehouse would ideally prefer a fixed system (one of the first two quotes) for the hut and then a portable system- Stagepas for £600, which can be used for concerts and days out.
- Natalie Sutton suggested that the Hall sound equipment needed sorting out too. The speakers are in the wrong place too. The Tomlinscote sound engineer is going to come over on the 17/09/2013 to discuss the hall equipment with Ms Whitehouse. Ms Whitehouse also pointed out that it was cheaper to hire sound equipment for the big productions in the Hall rather than have it sit unused in the Hall the rest of the time.
- Jo Brill said to hold off on the portable system until Hall was sorted out.
- After Majority vote, it was agreed that Ms Whitehouse could have £2700 for music, but to liaise with Natalie Sutton, whose husband has possible some trade contacts.
- 9th November
- Organised by Emma Maxwell.
- David Cooke is heading the online ticketing. Hopefully Tomlinscote, Collingwood and the feeder schools will all send out a link to their pupils.
- Tickets will be issued immediately. Paypal will be used again.

- An assistant treasure is needed to work with Jayne Simpson
- Each event has a lead- Fireworks/Disco/Shopping/PIP
- Natalie needs a co-lead for the PIP next year as she leaves in 2014

New Storm Clouds Over Governor Paterson
Just when you thought you'd heard it all, the cloud of controversy hanging over Governor David Paterson has gotten more ominous.
Still in the process of fending off allegations that he had a hand in getting a domestic abuse victim to drop her charges, the Governor is now being accused of violating the state code of ethics.
The State Commission on Public Integrity claims an investigation has determined that Paterson accepted, as a free gift from the Yankees, tickets to attend last years World Series. The Commission concluded that he had no intention of paying for them. The Governor disputes the assertion and insists he "never solicited anything from the Yankees or did anything improperly." If the charges are proven, it could cost the Governor $100,000 in penalties. But it could cost him even more in his crumbling image.
The latest accusation was the buzz of the Capitol where statehouse workers in the corridors were heard talking among one another and querying, "have you heard the latest?"
As surprising as the new revelations are, they pale in comparison to the scandalous questions being raised over the domestic violence case involving one of the Governor's most trusted aides, David Johnson, who has been suspended without pay. At the Governor's request, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is investigating whether Paterson personally intervened to influence the accuser, Sherr-una Booker, to drop the charges. He reportedly spoke to the woman on the phone and had state police reach out to her, an action that has prompted Police Superintendent Harry Corbitt to abruptly announce his retirement. He is the second casualty of the scandal in a week. Corbitt's boss, Deputy Secretary of Public Safety Denise O'Donnell quit because she could not "work in good conscience" for the administration after learning that a state police officer had contacted the abuse victim.
More serious is the allegation that the Governor had two members of his staff reach out to the woman, including one who, according to the New York Times, told the accuser "the Governor would like to make this go away." Paterson has denied this and told reporters at a news conference he has "never at any point attempted to influence or coerce anyone to do what they didn't want to do."
A number of Democrats and Republicans are demanding the Governor resign immediately, while others are urging patience, to let the Attorney General complete his investigation and to give Paterson the benefit of doubt. The Governor as well is asking for time, and voicing confidence that in the end he will be vindicated.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who continues to support Paterson, told PIX News "The Governor has to address issues. These are serious allegations." Senate Minority leader Dean Skelos told us the latest ethics charges are "troubling" and the Governor as well as all members of government should be held to "a higher standard." Skelos says if criminality is determined in the ethics probe, "then the Governor should resign." The matter has been turned over to the Albany County District Attorney.
At least one member of the legislature is calling for radical action. Long Island Republican Assemblyman Phillip Boyle says if the Governor refuses to step aside, he should be impeached.
With all the charges and investigations swirling around the Governor's office, the legislative process to hammer out a new state budget has been stalled. PIX News has learned that a number of key deadlines in the process have not been met, and that real negotiations have not yet begun to deliver a budget by the April 1st deadline.
Just days after withdrawing his campaign, Governor Paterson made it clear he's hanging in. "These are difficult times," he said, "but I'm a guy who's going to be tough too." As for calls for him to resign, the Governor was emphatic, "I think the best thing for me is to remain as Governor. I haven't done anything wrong."Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

I make LOs food.
I give him 4-5 cubes 2x a day. From what I've been reading and researching one frozen cube of puree is 1 ounce of food. Every few days, he will eat a 6 oz container of yogurt.
He goes to see the pedi on Friday. I bet we will have to up his solid intake. I tried to give him 3 solid feedings a day a month ago and I felt like he wasn't getting enough milk and his tummy was hurting him.
To keep track of how much my LO eats (and what I eat), I write it down in a little notebook that stays on the counter. Also, I use that if I introduce a new food. It saves my a$$ if he has an allergic reaction to something (not that I think he will) but the notebook is easy to grab in case I do have to take him to the ER or pedi. I won't have to try and remember what I gave him to cause the reaction.
V 's schedule is:

It's important to feel good when you're wearing your clothing. Whether you're getting ready for a night out with the girls, a hot date or a board meeting, wearing shapewear beneath your outfits will help you achieve that lean, toned look. Corsets give you an hourglass figure, upper-body shapewear smooths and supports your back and torso and lower-body pieces give you a lean look in any pair of pants. There's shapewear for any outfit, so find what fits your wardrobe and needs at Sears.
Unfortunately, the one undergarment women wear daily to support their breasts can be the reason for bulging skin on the back. Bras are necessary for everyday wear, but with high-quality shapewear, you can fix the appearance of unwanted back fat they might create. Upper-body shapewear from brands like Julie France can be worn with the bras you already own to smooth out your problem areas, so you look amazing in dresses, blouses and even tank tops.
One of the most common problem areas for women is the tummy. Whether you just want a waist cincher or corset to wear underneath a blouse or you want slimming briefs that you can wear with or without panties, Sears has brands like Diet Trim that have shapewear designed specifically to help you achieve that hourglass waist. Shop waist cinchers, corsets and other torso shapewear items and you'll get excited about wearing slim cut outfits again. You'll look fab in everything from a t-shirt to a bodycon dress. No matter what your age, there's nothing better than feeling confident in your outfit and yourself.
Pull those skinny jeans out from the back of your closet. Sears carries lower-body shapewear to give you a slim silhouette from waist to ankle. Try Slack Companion waist to ankle leggings to wear beneath pants, or for dresses, choose waist to mid-thigh coverage. Lower-body shapewear options act as a butt-lifter, waist cincher and thigh slimmer all in one piece.
Feel like the best version of yourself with shapewear that fits your needs. Sears offers a wide variety of brands and styles so no matter what you want to slim, you'll always have an attractive silhouette. From everyday wear to special occasions, shapewear supports all of your wardrobe needs.

Welcome to my blog. I'm sort of new to this whole blogging thing, so I haven't figured out how to update my custom greeting. That, or I am just lazy and don't really care. Either way, you're stuck looking at this stupid message and you know what? I don't care! That's right: I don't care! Otherwise, I'd obviously edit this out. But, uh... yeah. I didn't. Or did I?
F-Zero GX
February 06, 2006 (05:24 PM)
Why is it I was able to conquer the Master difficulty in F-Zero X, but am struggling with Expert mode here? This is freaking insane Sega!
And it's odd, but I still can't tell whether or not I like this game more than its N64 counterpart. There are some parts where it's obviously superior, such as the fact that the racers are more dynamic, the tracks more complex, and the graphics giving it a greater sense of speed. There are also parts where it's clearly worse, like the length of the tracks or lack of X Cup and Death Race. And I think the analog stick is a bit too sensitive now, although that may just be me. So which parts are more important? Which is better? I don't know. You'd think I should know this stuff before trying to review the game. But enh, I'll just wing it.
And on a completely unrelated note that nobody else will care about, President Bush talked about cellulosic ethanol in his SOTU speech! Woohoo! He even specifically said switchgrass! Yeah, yeah, nobody else cares. But I thought it was cool. It's about time a president took notice. And I'll shut up now.
February 06, 2006 (07:18 PM)
Yeah, F-Zero GX is incrediably frustrating
but usually in a good way
. I think I could only get through the first cup on the hardest difficulty. I couldn't even beat Story Mode on Normal, but then again Story Mode sucks ass anyway.
March 07, 2006 (02:13 AM)
Don't shutup, speak strong. All my life I neglected speaking strong and speaking the way I truly am, and where has it gotten me? Absolutely no where. I wonder if your psychic? I can't deside about the F-Zeroes either, but both are good. I also happen to be stuck on the same difficulty.

Definitions for piastre
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word piastre
Princeton's WordNet
piaster, piastre(noun)
a fractional monetary unit in Egypt and Lebanon and Sudan and Syria
kurus, piaster, piastre(noun)
100 kurus equal 1 lira in Turkey
A Spanish or Spanish-American coin and unit of currency, originally worth eight real.
A form of currency originally used in the Ottoman Empire, and now used in the Middle Eastern countries of Egypt, Lebanon, Sudan and Syria.
Origin: From piastra, probably from emplastra.
Webster Dictionary
see Piaster
The piastre or piaster refers to a number of units of currency. The term originates from the Italian for "thin metal plate". The name was applied to Spanish and Latin American pieces of eight, or pesos, by Venetian traders in the Levant in the 16th century. These pesos, minted continually for centuries, were readily accepted by traders in many parts of the world. After the countries of Latin America had gained independence, pesos of Mexico began flowing in through the trade routes, and became prolific in the Far East, taking the place of the Spanish pieces of eight which had been introduced by the Spanish at Manila, and by the Portuguese at Malacca. When the French colonised Indochina, they began issuing the new French Indochinese piastre, which was equal in value to the familiar Spanish and Mexican pesos. In the Ottoman Empire, successive currency reforms had reduced the value of the Ottoman piastre by the late 19th century so as to be worth about two pence sterling. Hence the name piastre referred to two distinct kinds of coins in two distinct parts of the world, both of which had descended from the Spanish pieces of eight. Because of the debased values of the piastres in the Middle East, these piastres became subsidiary units for the Turkish, Cypriot, and Egyptian pounds. Meanwhile, in Indo-China, the piastre continued into the 1950s and was subsequently renamed the riel, the kip, and the dong in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam respectively.

US won't stop others from arming Syria rebelsBy BEN HUBBARD
The Associated Press | March 19,2013ISTANBUL — Ending Syria's civil war through negotiations became an even more remote prospect Monday, as the main opposition group prepared to set up a rival government to President Bashar Assad's regime and the U.S. said it won't stop others from arming the rebels.
The opposition Syrian National Coalition met in Istanbul, Turkey, on Monday to elect a prime minister who would run an interim government in Syria's rebel-held areas. The election was initially set for today, but officials then said it might take place later Monday.
Setting up such a government, in a direct challenge to the regime, could harden battle lines even more and close the door to negotiations between Assad and the opposition.
The U.S. has been cool to the idea of a rival government, saying the focus should be on a political transition. Under a plan endorsed by the international community last year, Assad's supporters and opponents were to propose representatives for a transition government, with each side able to veto candidates.
However, the plan did not address Assad's role. Most in the Syrian opposition rule out any negotiations with the Syrian ruler.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the Obama administration wants to leave the door open for a political solution.
But concerning Syria's rebels, "the United States does not stand in the way of other countries that made a decision to provide arms, whether it's France or Britain or others," Kerry said, speaking in Washington.
His comments came after French President Francois Hollande said last week that his country and Britain were pushing the European Union to lift its arms embargo on Syria as soon as possible so that they can send weapons to rebel fighters.
The two countries are seeking military help for the rebels by the end of May or earlier if possible. Germany and other EU nations have been skeptical, pointing to the risk of further escalation.
Britain and France argue that Assad will not hold genuine negotiations if he believes he can survive militarily and that strengthening the rebels is the only way of squeezing the regime.
Kerry's remarks indicate that the Obama administration will not interfere with any country seeking to rebalance the fight against an Assad regime supported by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah.
The United States long argued that more weapons in Syria would only make peace harder. As the violence has worsened over the last year, Washington has tempered that message somewhat. It is now promising nonlethal aid to the anti-Assad militias in the form of meals and medical kits, and refusing to rule out further escalation.
The Syria conflict erupted in March 2011 as a largely peaceful uprising. In response to a regime crackdown, the rebellion turned into an armed insurgency and then civil war. More than 70,000 people have been killed and some 4 million of Syria's 22 million people have been driven from their homes by the fighting, according to U.N. estimates.
The conflict remains deadlocked, with rebels controlling large areas in northern and eastern Syria, and the regime defending its hold on the capital Damascus and elsewhere. Services have broken down in many rebel-held areas, which come under frequent regime attack by air-dropped bombs and artillery.
The Syrian National Coalition, largely based in exile, has wrestled for weeks with a decision on setting up an interim government. The exiles could have trouble asserting their authority in war-ravaged regions, and the risk of failure is high.
"Expectations will be high and means will be low," said coalition member Louay Safi.
However, Safi believes support for an interim government will grow if it shows it can deliver services to people in the rebel-run territories. "Anyone who tries to oppose it will be in a difficult position," he said.
All those attending the Istanbul conference said they oppose negotiations between the opposition and the Assad regime on the terms of ending the war.
"We've heard a lot about this 'peaceful solution,' but there are no positive, real steps from the regime, and the opposition presented its plan and it is clear that the regime was just playing for time," said Nizar Al Hrakey, another coalition member.
The election of a prime minister was initially to begin today, but conference participants said it might take place later Monday.
The coalition's 73-member general assembly is choosing among 12 candidates for the job.
Earlier Monday, the head of the main rebel group, the Free Syrian Army, lent his support to the idea of an interim government.
Gen. Salim Idris told reporters that fighters affiliated with the FSA will recognize the authority of such a government.
"We consider it the only legal government in the country," Idris said in Istanbul.
Idris also portrayed the FSA as the most powerful and organized rebel formation in Syria. It remains unclear, however, how many of the hundreds of rebel brigades fighting Assad's forces follow Idris' commands or are linked to his group.
Some of the most effective rebel groups are Islamic extremists who have developed their own support networks. One of them, Jabhat al-Nusra, has been designated a terrorist group by the United States and is said to be linked to al-Qaida.
Idris said his group has no relationship with Jabhat al-Nusra.
He renewed his call for world powers to arm rebel fighters, saying his group would ensure that the weapons don't fall into the wrong hands — a prime concern of the U.S. and other powers, especially given Syria's southern frontier with Israel.
"We have the power and the organizational capacity to control the movement of these weapons and keep them in safe, trusted hands," he said.
In Syria, meanwhile, three mortar shells struck central Damascus, the seat of Assad's power. The pro-government's Al-Ikhbariya TV said one of the shells fell in Muhajireen district near Tishreen Palace, one of three palaces that Assad uses in the capital.
Activists also reported that mortar shells struck near state security agencies in al-Barakmeh district and close to the Higher Education Ministry in Mazzeh district.
At least 26 people died Monday in fighting in Damascus and its suburbs, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group.
Also on Monday, Assad's fighter jets struck targets near the town of Arsal, Lebanon, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. The two countries share a porous border.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland confirmed that Syrian warplanes and helicopters fired rockets into northern Lebanon, striking near Arsal.
"This constitutes a significant escalation in the violations of Lebanese sovereignty that the Syrian regime has been guilty of," Nuland said. "These kinds of violations of sovereignty are absolutely unacceptable.'MORE IN Wire NewsCASTLE HILLS, Texas Five people died Sunday after a fire broke out at a senior-living apartment...

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The important changes to the way scientists name new plants that took effect on 1 January 2012 included the fall of the so-called Latin requirement - a stipulation that descriptions or diagnoses of new species had to be in Latin.
The new rules make it possible to take full advantage of an ongoing revolution in how botanists and mycologists verify that a particular species is indeed new to science: Many studies now routinely include the sequencing of short DNA regions that will amplify easily, even when the DNA comes from old specimens.
Such "barcoding" sequences can be used to confirm a suspected new species as long as related species that already have a scientific name are also being sequenced for the same DNA stretch.
There is no standard Latin vocabulary for describing DNA barcoding, yet in English, there is.
In an article in the open access journal PhytoKeys, botanists Natalia Filipowicz (Medical University of Gdańsk), Michael Nee (New York Botanical Garden), and Susanne Renner (University of Munich), now provide the first English-language diagnosis of a new species that relies exclusively on DNA data.
Their publication of a new species in the Solanaceae genus Brunfelsia also includes a traditional morphology-based description and pictures of the plant, but the researchers trust that "molecular diagnoses" will become a standard feature in future taxon descriptions.
The DNA sequences generated for the study have all been deposited in the public database GenBank, enabling other researchers to make use of them.

Oprah Winfrey by Steve Granitz/WireImage.com
We're finally allowed to announce the judges on Oprah's Big Give, ABC's philanthropic reality road show premiering March 2 at 9 pm/ET.

Says producer Ellen Rakieten, "We wanted to pick people who have obvious credentials for their judging." Not that Oprah herself won't show up; we hear that she's in five or six of the episodes, usually presenting some kind of twist or surprise in the game.

Greenwood special election
Updated On: Dec 10 2013 08:06:57 AM CST
Greenwood voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide whether or not their police department will get a new police station.
Greenwood Police Chief Will Dawson said the department needs more space.
Dawson said they are asking voters to approve a quarter-cent tax that would bring in about $3.2 million over the next 20 years.
The extra money would help build a 10,000 square foot police department.
Right now, they operate in a 1,000 square foot space, about the size of your average closet, in city hall, which Dawson said was supposed to be a temporary location anyway.
"It is was actually designed as a closet in city hall that we took over and we're in now. We moved in, we were too big for it at that point and that was in 2004. So, now we're looking to get a little bigger so we can do some things better than how we're doing them now," said Dawson.
Voting polls open at 7:30 a.m and close at 7:30 p.m.

Back in February, guest poster Mike O'Krongli predicted Google could suffer at the hands of click fraud zombies.
Picture thousands of PC's infected with some malicious virus that does nothing but click on PPC ads. The ads these zombies are clicking are found on the virus's authors site. For each 1000 clicks, the author receives $2.00 (2004-2005) at the lowest rate. If the virus's author had 10,000 infected PC's clicking on 1 ad every 5 minutes for 8 random hours a day, they would steal $3200.00 per day from AdWords customers. That rate of traffic would be undetectable to Google and make it almost impossible for the AdWord customer to charge back.
Well, Mike was right on the money, as reports surface on a new zombie network at work.
