Furloughs could be ahead for thousands of civilian employees at Fleet Readiness Center East at Cherry Point, meaning less money in the hands of workers and possibly less money flowing through the local economy.
"We will find out this Friday whether the Chief of Naval Operations is going to authorize the cuts to FRC East that will essentially stop new aircraft maintenance during the third and fourth quarter of this year, which will result in an $81 million loss to FRC East and by extension our local economy that will coincide with the potential furloughs that civilian employees may face beginning in April," said James Norment, a representative of the Allies for Cherry Point's Tomorrow lobby group.
Norment spoke by phone Tuesday as he headed to
Officially at FRC East, spokesman Dave Marriott said Tuesday that no decision had been made on furloughs, a point echoed days earlier by Col. Mitchell Bauman, commanding officer at FRC East.
"We have not received any guidance through our chain of command to institute a reduction in schedule," Baumann said in a statement on Friday.
Norment and several FRC East workers confirmed that employees had been briefed on the possibility of furloughs. Norment said department heads had been notified to begin preparing for the possibility of furloughs.
"The furloughs have not kicked in yet and they may not kick in until mid-April at the earliest," Norment said.
Norment confirmed reports that the furloughs would mean workers would take one day a week of unpaid leave for 22 weeks.
Stephanie Duncan, executive director of the Havelock Chamber of Commerce, said the furloughs amount to a 20-percent cut in pay for the 3,300 civilian FRC East workers. And that cut in pay would impact area businesses.
"Unfortunately, that 20 percent for a lot of people is the discretionary spending that they're doing within our community," she said. "That's the money that they're able to do the extras with — go to the movies, go out to eat, if any clothes need to be purchased, go to Dairy Queen and get a Blizzard. That's what the extras are for the people. So when they're cutting that out, it's going to cut everyone. It's going to cut even those that feel insulated."
"I'm flabbergasted that we've even gotten to this point to where we have to talk about furloughs," she said. "It is going to be devastating not only to
The short term concerns are the immediate negative impact that sequestration and federal budget cuts would have on the community's economy, he said.
"And then of course in addition to that we want to make sure that the air station, FRC East and the F-35 are as protected as they can be during the coming budget cuts whether planned or unplanned," Norment said. "We're going to have additional cuts in the defense department. I think every one agrees that that's going to happen. Whether it's a good thing or not is debatable, but it is certain that there are going to be some cuts, either through BRAC or some other form of mechanisms and it's very important that we advocate for the air station, for FRC East, for the F-35 because all of those are tied to the future of our community."
A message left at Headquarters Marine Corps in
According to reports, the furloughs of civilian defense department employees would save about $5 billion through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
"We've done everything we can do to ensure that the Marine Corps' readiness is not damaged and to ensure that our civilian workforce is not damaged," Norment said.

THE future of the great government plant at Muscle Shoals is still undecided. The power interests, represented by the Alabama Power Company, have long been trying to get hold of it. So has the American Cyanamid Company, which has asserted, in order to gain farmer support, that it wants to use the plant chiefly to make fertilizer.

The settlement of China's foreign relations may be said to be well under way. The treaties forced on China during the period of imperialistic aggression have been disregarded in fact, and their formal nullification by diplomatic action is already being negotiated. But China's internal affairs, much more vital to the Chinese people, are further from settlement and less clear.
WHAT is the first commandment to be obeyed in any educational scheme? It is this: Do not teach too many subjects. The second command is this: What you teach, teach thoroughly. The devil in the scholastic world has assumed the form of a general education consisting of scraps of a large number of disconnected subjects; and, with the artfulness of the serpent, he has entrenched himself behind the entrance examinations of the universities. Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty, and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it.
The recent condemnation of the Brookwood Labor College by the American Federation of Labor brings to the foreground the question of the future of adult education in connection with the labor movement. The issue is rendered especially acute because of the way in which the condemnation was effected; it was a scholastic lynching. Methods were employed which are not tolerated today in so-called "capitalistic" private institutions, where accused persons are entitled to a hearing before condemnation can ensue.

Low earnings volatility
High margins
High asset turnover (indicating efficiency)
Low financial and operating leverage (indicating a strong balance sheet and low macroeconomic risk)
Low specific stock risk (volatility unexplained by macroeconomic activity)

The MSCI quality index methodology has three main components..."The indices are designed to reflect a quality growth investment strategy by identifying stocks with high scores based on three main fundamental variables: high return on equity (ROE), stable year-over-year earnings growth and low financial leverage."...
MSCI's move increases competition for French bank Société Générale, which earlier this year launched a quality income index.
Société Générale's index includes between 25 and 75 global equities, selected according to their dividend yields and subject to an additional quantitative screening for profitability, leverage, liquidity and operating efficiency. The bank's exchange-traded fund (ETF) arm, Lyxor, has subsequently launched several ETFs on the bank's index.
In assessing expected profitability, the Advisor may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets
more profitable firms have higher expected returns, as do firms with higher Bt/Mt
The spreads in realized average returns are large, but the lion's share is absorbed by the book-to-market ratio, with an assist from size. The average high minus low portfolio returns from cross-section regressions that use size and Bt/Mt to explain returns are 5% to 6% per year. Adding lagged profitability and growth to the regressions increases the average return spreads by less than 1% per year. When we add accruals to these regressions, the incremental return is again less than 1% per year, and most of this seems to be due to small growth stocks.

The Advisor may modify market capitalization weights after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity management and other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions.
I have to take exception here. If "read the prospectus" is to mean anything at all, it means "read the prospectus and believe what it says." It doesn't mean "check off the checkbox that says you've read it, but don't look over there, look over here at the shiny brochure. No, no, no, don't worry about the prospectus, it's just lawyer stuff, they would never really do anything like that. Pay no attention to the prospectus behind the curtain."larryswedroe wrote:financialdave
Prospectuses are written to give the fund manager flexibility to address almost any condition that might happen. Otherwise when you have an unusual/unanticipated situation (like financial crises, liquidity drying up, etc) the fund could be forced into trades that would be very expensive just in order to stick to the prospectus (like must keep market cap weighting exact).
There is nothing "shady" here at all.
A mutual fund is what the prospectus says it is, not something else.

Over the long run, these factors should come out on top, but they don't offer any magic to ward off events such as the financial crash or periodic bouts of underperformance, researchers contend.
wbern wrote:Hi All:
I'm cautiously optimistic about the profitability approach being bruited about in this thread, but I've had a look at the backtested growth fund returns, and basically they have the same return as the appropriate all-market market: small and large, international and domestic. The idea is to start with a growth index, which has an expected below-market return, then tweak it with a profitability screen to get back to the market return.
So, with higher expense, higher turnover, decreased diversification, but same return--possibly--as the market, why own it?
Answer = not.
So who are these funds for? Answer = institutional investors, mainly, who are mandated to own small and large growth.
With luck, adding a profitabilty screen to an all-market fund (DFA just came out with a US large-cap version of this) and applying the profitability screen to DFA's existing approaches (in the works) just might provide some excess returns. But the growth portfolios are not for savvy investors, small or institutional.

Starz has decided to cancel Boss after two seasons on the air. The Kelsey Grammer series won't be returning for a third season but viewers may still get some resolution.
Boss revolves around Chicago Mayor Tom Kane (Grammer), a powerful man who struggles to stay on top while secretly battling a debilitating brain disease. Others in the cast include Karen Aldridge, Connie Nielsen, Kathleen Robertson, Martin Donovan, Jeff Hephner, and Hannah Ware.
The cable channel renewed the show for a second season a month before the series even premiered. Had they waited, they might have cancelled it instead. The ratings for the first season were underwhelming and the cast and crew knew that season two would have to do better for the show to survive.
It didn't. The second season averaged 360,000 viewers and a 0.1 rating in the demo. The cancellation certainly doesn't come as a surprise.
While there won't be a third season of Boss, Lionsgate TV and Starz are having discussions about wrapping up the story with a two-hour movie.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Boss has been cancelled by Starz? Do you think they'll really make a movie?

Critical analysis of scholarly open-access publishing
The It Was Never a Dress campaign is not only taking social media by storm, it is also changing the way we view the traditional women's bathroom sign. We see that the men's figure wears pants and the women's symbol wears a dress, but what if it was never meant to be a dress in the first place? Tania Katan launched the popular #ItWasNeverADress campaign at last week's 'Girls in Tech' conference with the idea that the female figure is instead wearing a cape, asserting that women can be superheroes or anything else they choose to be."

Katie's curator insight, May 22, 12:19 PM
In this article it suggest that the stereotypical dress for the the women bathroom sign is not a dress, but a cape. This hows that women can be superheroes or whatever they want to be. Still today there is a lack of women in he workforce compared to men. For every 4 men working working for Google there is 1 women and half of them quit because of the poor work environment. I think this helps represent that women are capable of anything. This is an example of women in the workforce and gender equity.

Enzymes work to break down grease, fats and other organic matter into a food source the cultures eat and then digest safely into minerals, water and oxygen. This synergistic blend works together, unlike enzyme- only based products, and is crucial in eliminating the source completely for treatment and maintenance of slow drains.

|Introduction | Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM lens performance | Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM versus competition | Conclusion
Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon's USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a 'fast' f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography.
Designed primarily for the EF lens mount used on Full Frame Canon DSLRs like the EOS 5D MKII the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM offers a wide-angle field of view ideal for landscape or architectural photography. It's also compatible however with the EF-S lens mount where, taking into account the x1.6 'crop factor' on Canon DSLR utilising the smaller APS-C sensor, it offers a longer 56mm equivalent focal length making it more suited to portraiture and general photography on these cameras.
Updated with Canon's lens based Image Stabilisation or IS technology Canon claim the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM offers up to 4-stops of anti-shake performance. That means when shooting static subjects slower shutter speeds of around 1/2sec can be used without images suffering from camera shake. There's also a new Ultrasonic Motor, or USM, for quick and quiet AF, as well as instant manual focus override by simply reaching for the focus ring.
At $849 it's pretty expensive however and with the original EF 35mm f/2 still on the market and available new for much less money is this updated version worth the extra cash? Lets take a look at the DxOMark Lens Metric Scores for the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM to find out.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

I really hope Nikon makes something like this.
VR/IS is nice, but it seems like at the wide angle it's not as effective on Nikon's system because all the lenses that go wide with VR are slow (f/3.5 or f/4). I'd be very happy if they replaced the 35mm f/2D with something like this.

Some people love it, and others leave it.
It's White Chocolate, that controversial melange of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk (more on that later). Often there's vanilla, or vanillin (a synthetic vanilla-like substance) added as well.
Many people will say they don't like white chocolate, citing a preference for the dark side.
"It's not chocolate!", you'll hear.
Well, no, it's not. It's different. A different kind of chocolate.
Dark, or bittersweet chocolate, contains cacao mass (the ground beans), sugar, cocoa butter, and sometimes vanilla and lecithin.
White chocolate has none of the cacao mass, hence the delicate, ivory-like color, which it gets from the cocoa butter. Instead it's rich with cocoa butter, which gives it that suave, subtle taste, that I find compliments dark chocolate desserts and bolder flavors. I make White Chocolate Crème Anglaise and pour the cool custard alongside a dark chocolate cake. Or I steep fragrant fresh mint leaves when making White Chocolate Ice Cream.
Cocoa butter is derived from the chocolate-making process, or more specifically, when cocoa powder is made. To make cocoa powder, roastedcacao beans are ground into a paste, known as chocolate liquor, then the paste is pressed through a powerful hydraulic press, which separates the cocoa mass from the cocoa butter. The cocoa mass comes out as a solid block, which is grated into cocoa powder (which is why cocoa powder is always unsweetened and relatively low-fat) and the soft, rich cocoa butter is extracted. I've been to factories and watched the process, and the smell of warm, fat-rich cocoa butter is intoxicating.
The valuable cocoa butter is often sold to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry, since it has the perfect melting point for things like lipstick…and why chocolate melts and releases its complex flavors like nothing else when you pop a piece in your mouth. But it's also that reason that true white chocolate tastes so good and is loved by many pastry chefs.
Here's some tips and facts about white chocolate:
- Both white and dark chocolates are emulsions. Adding small amounts of liquid, like water or milk, will cause the emulsion to break or seize. Therefore, any milk that's added to white chocolate must be first either dried into a powder or cooked to a paste, removing the water, before it's used. So you'll often find the ingredient 'milkfat' on the label.
- In the United States, white chocolate must contain a minimum of 20% cocoa fat.
- Because white chocolate contains a dairy product, it's highly perishable. Purchase it in small quantities as needed (unless you're like me, and use so much you buy it in 5-pound blocks…as shown above.) I make sure to get white chocolate from a reliable source that rotates and checks their stock regularly. Store it in a cool, dark place, but not the refrigerator, since it's high-fat content makes it a good medium for absorbing other odors…like the stinky camembert in my fridge.
- White chocolate will keep for up to one year. If you're unsure if it's any good, taste it before using (which most of us do when baking with chocolate, right?)
- Buy only 'pure' white chocolate and check to make sure the label reads only 'cocoa butter', and no other tropical fats, such as coconut or palm kernel oil.
- Due to the higher fat and sugar content, white chocolate melts very easily and at a lower temperature than dark chocolate, but more care should be taken when using it. Avoid excessive or direct heat. I like to pour a hot liquid over it and use the heat from that to melt the white chocolate.
- There's only a few companies in America that make white chocolate: E. Guittard, Baker's, and Askinoise. But most of the white chocolate you'll find is European-made, perhaps since few American bake with white chocolate.
- White chocolate should never be pure white. Since cocoa butter is ivory-colored, real white chocolate should be off-white as well. Products labeled as 'white bar' or 'white coating' are often not white chocolate and just tastes plain sugary and should not be used in recipes that call for white chocolate.

Know Before You Go:
General Notes:
Come Prepared! Get in shape. Come early to acclimate to the high altitude. 22 miles to the summit and back, combined with the affects of high altitude make this a strenuous trip. Stay together as a group in case your friends need help. Bring adequate supplies of food, water and clothing, the weather can change very quickly.
Dispose of Waste Properly! All Mt. Whitney visitors must pack-out their solid human waste. Pack-out kits are distributed with wilderness permits. You must carry the waste bag back down the mountain to the poop disposal box at the trailhead. In addition, all visitors must pack-out all of their trash, food and gear.
Traveling in Bear Country! Historically, there has been a high level of bear activity in the Mt. Whitney area. From Memorial Day weekend through October 31, overnight visitors must store all food, food related trash and scented items in bear-proof containers. At the trailhead, all food and scented items must be removed from vehicles and stored in the bear proof lockers located in parking areas. Dispose of trash in bear proof trash receptacles at the trailhead.
Safety Is Your Responsibility! Wilderness travel involves an element of risk. Climbing Mt. Whitney is difficult and potentially dangerous. Every year visitors become sick or injured; some die. High elevation can add stress to pre-existing medical conditions as well as contribute to altitude related illnesses and severe electrolyte imbalances. You should be prepared for emergences.

I always feel a little guilty grilling on Memorial Day. Being surrounded by all kinds of luscious food and ice-cold beer seems to be almost mocking the holiday's solemn meaning. Maybe we should really honor our vets by eating what they had to survive on while defending our country.
What if instead of lounging with a stack of slick, sticky barbecue pork ribs and potato salad, we dug a hole in the ground from which to enjoy something squeezed out of a pouch? Pop-Tarts notwithstanding, there are very few delicious things that come in pouches.
No one is less qualified to speak for veterans than me, but I don't think they would want us to go that far. I mean, what better example of what these brave men and women fought for, than backyards full of smoking grills and smiling faces?
So, if Uncle Jerry cooks the chicken breasts ten minutes past dry, and whoever made the beans was clearly just going through the motions, don't think of it as a poor meal, think of it as a meditation on what these heroes' sacrifices have made possible.

Willi ELFES, who lives at St. Tönis, 4 km from Krefeld is probably the most important German opposition leader now in our territory. A man of strong convictions and moral fervor, he has been a consistent and active opponent of Nazism, has carried on the struggle in Catholic circles and has been in close contact with the Gördeler group which made the attempt on Hitler's life July 20. Now Elfes sits in his little room in the parish house, where he hid himself when the Gestapo was after him in October, and observes American policy and behaviour with considerable dismay and not without understanding.
It is not so much the looting and the rape that bothers him (much of the looting at St. Tönis is done by the Belgian troops stationed there) — he understands that in war time soldiers cannot be expected to behave like followers of St. Francis. What troubles him, a fighting Catholic democrat, is to see (and hear about) Americans continuing Nazis in office and treating all Germans, Nazis and anti-Nazis, alike. In St. Tönis, he says, a town that contains numerous opponents of the Hitler regime, the Burgermeister is a Nazi party member and an ex-major in the Wehrmacht. The policy of quartering troops, he says, frequently turns out to be such that the Nazis are spared and the enemies of the Hitler system are thrown out of their houses.
"Your policy," Elfes said, "is exactly like your bombing — frequently indiscriminate. When you first came here there was joy at the liberation. Now people are bitterly disappointed. Is this the behaviour of freedom-loving men, of democrats? The people here have lists of Nazis which they hoped to hand over to the American liberators, but now they keep them for themselves and hesitate to cooperate."
Elfes is an ardent Catholic with social ideals that are, to use President Roosevelt's expression, "left of center." Were it not for his religion, he would be a Socialist. As it is, he was a leading member of the Centrist party and a member of its executive committee. Elfes knew Bruening well, but, although he respects him, he considers him too weak and also too conservative. For 18 years Elfes had been editor of the WESTDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG, an influential newspaper with a circulation of 200,000. He was a member of the Prussian Diet as well as of the Munchen-Gladbach city council. In 1923 he became Chief of Police (Polizei-Prasident) of Krefeld, a position from which he was thrown out by the Nazis when they came to power. To support himself, he opened a cigar store. Among his customers were bishops and leading clergy.

Students at all Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine campuses took time Friday, Sept. 17 to learn more about the United States Constitution during the College's annual Constitution Day observance.
Michael Rigelsky, Esq., an Ohio-based attorney with the firm Roetzel & Andress, spoke to first-year medical and pharmacy students in Erie about the Constitution as it relates to a citizen's right to privacy.
Michael Rigelsky, Esq. speaks to first year medical students about privacy rights in the U.S. Constitituion.
"The word privacy is never mentioned in the Constitution," Rigelsky explained. "The Supreme Court has held that privacy is implicit."
He said the concept of privacy is included in the constitution, but the issue has been a longstanding topic of debate between strict constructionists and those with a more liberal viewpoint.
Regan Shabloski, DO, LECOM's Director of Clinical Education, spoke to second-year medical and pharmacy students in Erie about the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. He explained how the Constitution was drafted in fewer than 100 working days, and told the students that Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams did not sign the document because they were serving as ambassadors overseas.
In Greensburg, PA, Irv Freeman, PhD, JD, Vice President of LECOM at Seton Hill, led his students in a spirited discussion of substantive due process. Students examined a recent Supreme Court case and shared their opinions with their classmates.
|Ross Kurland (OMS-II) speaks with Mary Hawk, Esq., during LECOM Bradenton's Constitution Day event on Sept. 17.
Dr. Freeman said future doctors should have a working knowledge of the Constitution and the U.S. Government.
"Physicians are often leaders in their local communities and sometimes leaders on a larger stage. Physician-governors have lead states and physician-legislators have served in both houses of Congress," Freeman said.
At LECOM's Bradenton, FL campus, attorney Mary Hawk, ESQ, a principal at the law firm of Porges, Hamlin, Knowles, Prouty, PA, spoke on constitutional issues that future osteopathic physicians may face when they enter the profession: childhood vaccinations, organ donation and recent case law regarding disputes over frozen embryos.
"All 50 states mandate childhood vaccinations for children to enroll in public schools," said Ms. Hawk to LECOM's first and second-year medical students. "Forty-eight of those (states) do have statutory exemptions based on religious beliefs, which have been upheld pursuant to the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion."
Constitution Day is an American federal holiday that recognizes the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It is observed on Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the document in 1787. The law establishing Constitution Day as a holiday was created in 2004. In May 2005, the U.S. Department of Education announced the enactment of this law, which applies to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
Though it is a relatively new holiday, more and more educational institutions have taken major steps to incorporate discussion about the U.S. Constitution and the government.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

Many people actually check for the drugs which they consume specially when they have never heard the name of the drug ever and this is actually a good practice, it may actually prevent you from the side-effects of the drug and therefore, when you are actually trying to avoid the side-effects and the potentially dangerous drugs, you have to use the internet to find out the truth about the drug and when you come to know of that then you can decide along with your doctor whether this is the drug for you or not but you have to always ensure that you actually take the doctor's advice and do not just stop taking the drug because you, yourself think that the drug is not safe, because you have to solve the problem which you are facing medically and not just develop another problem and therefore, you have to check this.
And ensure that you are able to find the best way in which you might be able to decide regarding a drug like xarelto which is actually a important drug and is given at a emergency time for the patient and therefore, you have to check this aspect and then choose the ways in which you might be able to choose the drug.
The first step is to find what is the dose which has been prescribed to you and on the internet, you will get some basic information regarding whether that dose is a heavy dose or a smaller one and if it is a smaller dose then you are less likely to suffer from the side-effects and therefore, you have to check this aspect and once you have done so, then you might be able to choose the best possible drug options.Also, if you are worried about the side-effects, then you can speak about the same to the doctor and the doctor would be able to decide that if you are really at the risk of developing the side-effects then the doctor would change the drug which you are using otherwise the doctor may decide to actually continue with xarelto and therefore, you have to check this aspect and take the opinion of the doctor.
Also, if you want to find out about the side-effects just search for xarelto lawyer or bernstein liebhard and you will be able to find out about the law suits involving the drug.

Even after more than 25 shows on this Mojo tour, it's rare that I hang around the artist dressing rooms before the show. The way I figure it, the minutes before an artist takes the stage should be left to them as they're about to share a whole lot of themselves with us.
Tonight in Hartford, I happened to be walking by Crosby, Stills and Nash's dressing room a few minutes before they went on and was treated to an a cappella rendition of "Woodstock" as the legendary trio warmed up their voices. The doorway next to theirs opened and out walked Tom, Mike and Benmont, peaking their heads around the corner like little kids wanting to steal a glimpse before Tom nodded at their vocal practice session and said, "I think that's gonna work out just fine." Priceless.
Boston is coming up! Come see us for two nights at the Comcast Center in Boston and keep checking back for more photos, videos and more!

A school is an institution whose primary purpose is education. Although the term can be synonymous with places of higher learning, school most often refers to institutions that educate children from the ages of 5 until 18. Schooling is vital to one's personal development and ability to function in society.
While child education is compulsory in the U.S., the government provides free, publicly-funded education through the public school system. Children may also attend charter schools — public schools governed by a charter between them and a local or national authority that have more autonomy and offer specialized curriculums. Private schools govern themselves, establish their own curricula and charge annual tuition fees. Home-schooling is another alternative in which parents formally educate their children at home.
All public and charter schools, as well as most private schools, have a common course of study and organization. There are 12 grades that are spread out among elementary, middle and high schools. Teachers evaluate students by assigning grades based on their performance. Common subjects taught in school are English, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, and foreign languages. (Photo: Shutterstock)

Cox's Game-High 24 & Rhoney's Clutch Shooting Down the Stretch Help Women's Basketball Open 2012-2013 with Thrilling 85-77 Double OT Win at Anderson
November 10, 2012
ANDERSON, S.C. - Pfeiffer University's Brittany Cox would score a game-high 24 points, including a crucial three in the final minutes of regulation, as the Lady Falcons scored a wild 85-77 double overtime victory at Anderson in the 2012-2013 season opener.
The Lady Falcons would start to erase an 11-point deficit with 6:36 to play as Cox hit back-to-back triples while Kellie Rhoney followed suit trimming the Trojan lead down to 54-52. After a quick three from Anderson's Sierra Simpson, a pair of Rhoney free throws and triple again from Cox tied the contest up at 57-57 sending the game into overtime.
Anderson would rally in the first extra session to force a second as an Amanda Parris three and Simpson triple with two seconds left squared the contest at 70 heading into a second five minute period.
After each team traded early baskets, another Rhoney three put the Lady Falcons up for good before adding a final triple and pair of free throws in the final minute of play.
Behind Cox's 24, Jodie Lemons followed with 19 points and 11 rebounds recording the first double-double of the season. Christina Harvey added 16 while Rhoney concluded with 15. Parris led the Trojans with 23 points on the day as one of four in double figures with Breonda Shannon scoring 11 with 20 boards.
The Lady Falcons will move on to the 2012-2013 home opener on Wednesday night hosting Brevard at 6:00 p.m. Live stats and video will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The New York Times recently reported that although the rate of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. is at a 40-year low, the number of children entering unlawfully and alone is surging, largely because of drug-fueled violence in Central America, particularly Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. "One in 13 people caught by the Border Patrol last fiscal year were under 18. Seventeen percent of them were 13 or younger. Close to 14,000 minors, twice as many as the previous year, were placed in federal custody. (This figure doesn�t include an equal number of Mexican children who were quickly deported.)" Many of these children could qualify for asylum or for other status that would allow them to stay in the U.S., but less than 10 percent of kids who seek to remain in the U.S. win their cases. Those with legal representation are 9 times as likely to win, but most of these children have no lawyer. Learn more about this problem from an Immigration attorney with particular expertise in immigration and the family, and an anthropologist who studies migrant youth, especially from Guatemala.

I Can't find a number for help from Cnet
by xguy03 - 2/1/13 10:23 AM
I received an email from Cnet yesterday with a special price about some earbuds. They were from MEElectronics and I purchased to sets via Paypal. I usually receive a confirmation from Paypal when I order and did not. I did however received an order confirmation from MEELectronics. I can not find a phone number for cnet and now wonder if it was some scam from this other company.
Does anyone know the number or at least an email address?
Thanks, Tony

Chemotherapy Based on Positron Emission Tomography Scan in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Hodgkin Lymphoma
What is the purpose of this trial?
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and allow doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well chemotherapy based on PET scan works in treating patients with stage I or stage II Hodgkin lymphoma.
Participation Guidelines
- Age:
- 18 Years - 60 Years
- Gender:
- Both
