There is more than a touch of irony attached to what have turned into regular visits to North Carolina by President Barack Obama. Our state has become a routine stop when the president wants to go on the road to promote a policy agenda after a national address.
On Wednesday, a day after his first State of the Union message of his second term in office, Obama was in Asheville to talk about manufacturing innovations he believes will drive job creation. He did so in a state where unemployment remains 9.2 percent, considerably above the national average of 7.8 percent.
At the Linamar Corp. factory, the president reiterated to Congress his plea to approve $1 billion to create a national network of "innovation institutes." In theory, these sites would be set up in economically challenged states such as our own. He also called on Congress to lower the tax rate for manufacturers to 25 percent from 35 percent and provide help for communities hurt by plant closings. "I'm doing what I can just through administrative action, but I need Congress to help," the president said.
The response from GOP leaders in Congress was predictable and not altogether incorrect. The president's broad initiatives introduced on Tuesday night and reinforced Wednesday hit on just a part of our nation's problems without addressing the gigantic asteroid headed our way.
The president said little to signal his intent to tackle the nation's crushing long-term debt. Instead, he unleashed a list of proposals that he said would "reignite the true engine of America's economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class."
Yes, the country needs to invest in its future and the nation's prosperity depends on a thriving middle class. But it is fool's gold if the nation doesn't also address a looming fiscal crisis that will squeeze out all other spending choices far sooner than anyone can imagine.
Obama is calling for major spending on infrastructure, jobs, clean energy and education without also proposing much in the way of serious debt reduction.
Instead of prioritizing pressing needs, the president mostly trotted out the old economic formulas. He claimed his plans won't add "a single dime" to the deficit, but without accompanying specifics, it's hard to accept the president's math.
And his call to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour — while generous — fails to take into account the potential damage to small businesses in communities like Onslow County. The short-term result could be more lost jobs.
The economy and jobs were uppermost on the minds of most Americans four years ago when the president first took office and remain so today as the economy crawls along. But now, nearly three of four Americans also consider rising debt to be a major threat to economic stability, up sharply from barely one in two in 2009.
It is time for the president and Congress to move past symbolic gestures and face up to the nation's hard economic reality.

DALLAS - Airlines no longer just make money taking travelers where they want to go. Some carriers now show up where their passengers already are.
We definitely want to be where our customers are, so we've noticed over the past couple years, our customers are on our social channels, said Rob Hahn with Southwest Airlines.
The Dallas-based carrier has a massive following on Twitter; 1.4 million of them, which is more than American, United and Delta combined. JetBlue remains on top with the total number of followers, at more than 1.7 million.
Customers in this day and age of technology want their answers right now, Hahn explained. So if we can provide them that answer - provide them that rebooked flight immediately - that saves them from having to call our customer service center or send us an e-mail.
Southwest has six employees dedicated to social media, often only during regular business hours. The airline created its team by drawing employees from different departments, including customer service, marketing, and communications.
This team doesn't just respond to questions, comments, and criticism on Twitter. Southwest employees also rebook flights, track bags, and issue travel vouchers all in 140 characters or less.
Before social media, most of our interaction was over the telephone or in our airports -- our customers interacting with our station personnel, Hahn said.
Surprisingly, many still prefer that. Southwest said it has not seen a measurable decline at its call centers. Regardless, it's building its own social media center inside its Dallas headquarters.
On the fifth floor of American Airlines' Fort Worth headquarters, 15 employees are dedicated to social media -- more than twice the amount at Southwest.
Both locally-based airlines also maintain accounts on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, though Twitter is where they see most of their activity.
We're investing. Six are on Twitter, doing 24/7, said Jonathan Pierce with American Airlines.
American has fewer Twitter followers than Southwest at just under a half million, but this team Tweets more than any other airline.
We see around 1,200 [mentions or direct messages] everyday, Pierce said.
American said it tries to respond to all messages or mentions within 10 minutes, since many are from customers in transit.
No question, these feeds are more about customer service than marketing or anything else. But indirectly, they're also about brand building. Responding and resolving issues real-time creates an army of advocates for the airlines -- even from those who post negative messages.
It can make a tremendous positive impact to sentiment, because often times they'll get a response to resolve the issue and they'll retweet it and say, 'what a great experience' and they become a brand advocate, said Mike Merrill, Director of Marketing for ReachLocal. The goal is to build an army of advocates for the business.
And advocates with a good experience tell others, Merrill added.
Besides his official title at the online marketing firm, Merrill also founded the Social Media Club of Dallas.
Some of these brands like Southwest and American have more Twitter followers than the amount of average monthly views on their website, he said. So the impression impact could potentially be dramatically larger.
Airline customer service has always been a thankless job. But its presence on social media continues to evolve as the power of participating for passengers does, too.

good reason - I know Henderson, KY and Nicholasville, KY both were holding events at the same time -
You guys know why I wasn't there but I can give opinions on why others weren't.
Lack of advertisement.
Last year's offering an AM/AM division temporarily ruinned the event idea of having a Pro/Am. From my understanding there is NO othe sanctioned event like it.
It might take a year or two but I think it will get back to normal.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Yeah, the first I heard of it was just a few weeks before the event. It should be like the CVO or other tourneys that advertise months or even almost a year in advance.
I'm really into model car competitions (no jokes, please) and they start putting fliers out almost immediately after that year's show for next year. It's to allow the competitors to mark it down in their calendar, if they liked it enough to return. That's what I'd recommend, if it's possible.
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
I had other stuff going on. Plus, I didn't really have a partner lined up. Also, have a few other tournaments around it and a bit short on money.
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
I'm curious why it's even a sanctioned event. With no ratings involved we are essentially giving the pdga a few hundred dollars so we can put it on their calendar. That, and the pro money earners get the extra cash added to their overall payout in their profile. Maybe I'm missing something...

By Kerry L Thomas, Contributing writer
Are you properly maintaining your home's air duct system? Most people tend to forget about the duct work when it comes to maintaining their HVAC system.
Of course, not every home will have duct work -- this depends on the type of heating and cooling system that you have.
If you do have air ducts, then you need to be aware that they sometimes need maintenance too. Over time your air ducts can become littered with dust, dust mites, animal hair, rodent and insect feces and even mold. Most of these pollutants are known allergens and can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Surprisingly, these pollutants can be in most any home's system regardless of the cleanliness of the home. The main reason here, of course, is the inability of the homeowner to access and clean the entire duct work system.Vacuuming out the registers can clean that immediate area, however, cleaning the rest of the system requires special equipment that is designed to loosen and remove the debris within the ducts.
Changing the air filters in your system frequently can help as well. You should be aware that most air filters are actually not efficient enough to capture all the debris that can be sucked in through your system's return air duct. Eventually your system will accumulate enough debris to cause a concern.
Here's some tips to help you make informed decisions when it comes to maintaining your HVAC system and duct work:
1. The first consideration is determining if you actually need the duct work cleaned.
A visual inspection of the inside of the ducts is the only feasible way to determine if you have problems.You can make an attempt at this yourself if you are physically able to access all areas of your system. The drawback to doing this yourself is that you will find it very difficult to inspect all the areas.
This is where you may want to consult a air duct cleaning professional.Most professional duct cleaning services will have video inspection equipment that can be inserted into the air ducts to allow for a closer inspection. The homeowner can actually observe for themselves and visually see any excessive debris in the system.
2. Next you need to determine the amount and type of debris in the ducts.
We know that all ducts that have been used will have debris within them.
Most of the debris will consist of dust, lint, pollen, animal dander, carpet fuzz, insulation, and even rodent and insect feces. It is not uncommon to find signs of rodents and insects in the system. Mice will tend to gather nesting materials and can restrict the air flow with these materials.
It is possible that mold can be growing inside your system. Certain types of mold can lead to serious indoor air quality issues as these molds tend to produce allergens. If mold is found, the ducts need to be thoroughly evaluated for moisture problems. Identifying the particular type of mold in your system usually requires laboratory analysis. Dealing with mold is not something the homeowner should tackle themselves.
3. To clean or not to clean?
All systems that have been in use will have debris -- it is not recommended to clean ducts that have relatively small amounts of dust, etc. You should clean your air ducts if you observe debris that has accumulated to the point of clumping up and collecting on dampers, protruding screws, and joints. This type of buildup can restrict the free flow of air through the system and affect the system's efficiency as well as lead to premature failure of the system in extreme cases.
It is recommended that you clean the duct work system anytime you find evidence of rodent or insect activity. Cleaning ducts will remove the rodent/insect feces but it will not eliminate the problem with the rodents/insects themselves. Before you clean you will want to get rid of the pests first -- a pest control professional can help with this process.
If you identify a problem with mold, it is definitely recommended that you clean the ducts. It is very important to look for moisture problems that contribute to the growth of mold. Use the same approach here as outlined above for rodents/insects. Get rid of the factors that contribute to the growth of mold and then clean your system.
Remember, this is not a do-it-yourself type of project. A professional air duct cleaning service will have access to mold remediation equipment and special training in dealing with mold.
If you suffer from allergies, then you may be looking at cleaning your ducts to improve the indoor air quality. This is a controversial subject as there is a lack of scientific studies to offer guidelines. There is really no concrete data to suggest that cleaning your ducts will help allergy sufferers.
Do not have your ducts cleaned based solely on claims that doing so will help with your allergies. Cleaning your system may or may not help your allergies. At this time no one can predict if this will help you. Be weary of any claims to the contrary. Allergy sufferers may want to have their ducts inspected to see if problems can be identified. You may want to discuss the inspection results with your physician/allergist to see if this is something you want to try-just remember there are no guarantees this will help.
It is not recommended to clean your ducts yearly as part of the normal pre-season servicing. Debris buildup takes time and if your duct work is relatively new or has been cleaned recently then you will only need to clean them according to the guidelines above. Remember it is normal to have small amounts of dust in the system.
A reputable air duct cleaning service can look at your individual circumstances and recommend an inspection schedule.

Advanced Training for MBCT and MBSR Teachers
Embodying Mindful Presence and Investigating Mindful Inquiry
Sunday, Jun 9, 2013, 5:00 PM
Friday, Jun 14, 2013, 12:00 PM (All times are local to the event.)
- Presenters
- Susan Woods, LICSW, Char Wilkins, LCSW
101 San Antonio Rd
Petaluma CA 94952
See a map
This advanced training is for MBCT and MBSR teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of universal principles for teaching mindfulness-based interventions. As such, the focus for this training is less about teaching to the structure of MBCT and/or MBSR and more about intentionally embodying mindful presence and strengthening the facilitation of mindful inquiry. Inquiry is both a practice and a skill. As a practice it is the ability to convey the philosophic underpinnings of mindfulness with an integrity that invites our participants to embark on a journey of discovery about the relevance of mindfulness practice as an approach in the prevention of depression relapse and for stress reduction. As a skill, mindful inquiry demonstrates a willingness to embody the spirit of mindfulness with an oral congruity of where that understanding rests. The training is highly interactive and highlights the necessity of personal practice as a platform from which to teach.
This training offers the time to nurture these qualities through silent mindfulness practice, through simulated patient-teacher encounters, discussion, and personal supervision from the retreat leaders.
This advanced teacher training will be led by experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers, and retreat leaders, Susan Woods, LICSW and Char Wilkins, LCSW.
Registration will be limited to 40 participants for this advanced training in order to provide an environment that promotes in depth learning in an atmosphere of intimacy and shared experience.
This 5-day advanced teacher training intensive is intended for MBCT and MBSR teachers who have completed a 5 or 7-day foundational professional training in MBCT and/or MBSR. Participants will have taught at least one 8-week MBCT or MBSR course and be licensed in their health field. All participants will have an ongoing personal mindfulness practice and have attended at least one 7-day silent teacher led mindfulness meditation retreat; MBCT and MBSR professional trainings are not considered silent mindfulness retreats.
On or before April 9, 2013
Registration: $1095 (after April 9: $1195)

Steve Jones
after the bag tag decided we needed some changes little later start and only one round. with a final 9 for open and a 1 disc players pack.
Final 9 for all divisions AT LEAST--2 rounds would be even better.
I think two rounds would be better since one round may stop people who have to drive awhile from coming.

Three years after an ALS diagnosis, there's no stopping Mike Kelly

Mike Kelly watches his wife, Teki, as she tastes nutritional yeast flakes at their home in Arlington. Mike was diagnosed with ALS three years ago and continues to work every day at Frontier. The couple has recently started a healthy, whole foods diet.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Mike and Teki Kelly talk in their kitchen before making dinner.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Teki Kelly helps her husband, Mike, out of their wheelchair accessible van after work on April 24.
He gets around in a wheelchair. He's successful in his job. He likes to laugh, and he loves his wife.
But Kelly's body is failing. Paralysis is coming. Eventually, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis will take him down.
"Looking at the man in the mirror each morning is hard for me. It isn't without anger," Kelly said. "What grounds me, though, is that I know that there are no guarantees in life. Only a fool would believe that it couldn't be his turn at the next highway intersection."
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. According to the ALS Association, people in the early stages of the disease have muscle weakness, especially involving their arms and legs, their speech, swallowing and breathing. It only gets worse. In time, all muscles atrophy and cease to function. There is no cure.
Mike and his wife, Teki Kelly, both 49, met online in 2002.
"Our deal-breaker lists were pretty darn close," he said.
Together they have four grown children. They moved to Arlington in 2004 and were married in 2006.
"It was the second rodeo for both of us and we were excited about life," Teki said.
Around Thanksgiving 2009, however, the couple realized something was wrong with Mike.
"I couldn't clip my toenails," he said.
After several tests, a neurologist gave the Kellys the bad news.
"I only knew that Lou Gehrig's disease was a bad one," Teki said. "Hearing the diagnosis was a pisser. I was so mad. I wanted a pity party so bad, but there was no sense in having Mike comfort me."
The song "Live Like You Were Dying" by country music star Tim McGraw helped them face their new life, they said.
"We were so caught up in our busy lives, we had to cut out all the noise," Teki said. "It was horrible that Mike had to get this before we learned to slow down, breathe and shut out the drama in our lives. That part has been very good for us."
Teki Kelly's longtime friend, GW Construction owner Brian Wohlhuter, along with other friends and family members rallied to help out. They built a fence to keep the Kellys' dog in so Mike didn't have to chase the pet. They built wheelchair ramps and remodeled the house to make Mike's life easier.
The Kellys' friends Lyle and Shelly Bates, owners of Local Motion in Puyallup, gave them a wheelchair van, which Mike calls "Big Mama." Their friends at American Brewing Co. in Edmonds ran fundraisers. The Tulalip Tribes, where Teki works as a licensing certifications inspector, also offered support.
"We're private people and it was hard at first to accept the help," Teki Kelly said.
Mike Kelly hasn't missed a day at Frontier Communications in Everett, where he's worked for that past six years. There, he offers technical support to the phone company's installation and maintenance field crew. His supervisor Janel Brough says Kelly is the most positive person she knows.
"He makes us all want to do a better job," Brough said. "He truly sets an example and he's not stopping."
When the word first got out that Kelly had ALS, people at work didn't talk much about it.
"I had to be the PR person, to help people realize it was OK to ask me about the disease," Kelly said.
Knowing that Kelly's medical insurance wasn't covering all of the couple's costs, Brough organized a series of fundraisers to help Mike and Teki pay for the expensive motorized wheelchair he uses.
"During the fundraising, I realized how much the other employees care for Mike," Brough said. "He is loved by everyone."
The support is humbling, Kelly said.
"I don't know how anybody would do this without medical insurance. I am so grateful," he said.
Kelly said he will be at work until he can't make it. He plans to keep smiling, too.
"Am I always tough? Hell, no. You get an instruction booklet with your microwave oven, but no one can tell you how to live while you are dying. Teki and I cry, sometimes, and argue," Mike said. "One day, I announced I'd had enough and I was leaving. It was 38 degrees and raining out and I was wearing my pajamas. Teki said she would get the door for me. Then, of course, we laughed.

Three Plays: Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth, and The Matchmaker
Three Plays: Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth, and The Matchmaker (Paperback)
Related Editions
Three of the greatest plays in American literature collected in one volume
This important new omnibus edition features an illuminating foreword by playwright John Guare and an extensive afterword for each play drawing on unpublished letters and other unique documentary material prepared by Tappan Wilder.
Our Town—Wilder's timeless 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning look at love, death, and destiny is celebrated around the world and performed at least once each day in the United States.
The Skin of our Teeth—Wilder's 1942 romp about human follies and human endurance starring the Antrobus family of Excelsior, New Jersey. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1943.
The Matchmaker—Wilder's brilliant 1954 farce about money and love starring that irrepressible busybody Dolly Gallagher Levi. This play inspired the Broadway musical Hello, Dolly!.
About the Author
Thornton Wilder (18971975) was an accomplished novelist and playwright whose works explore the connection between the commonplace and the cosmic dimensions of human experience. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 for The Bridge of San Luis Rey, the second of his seven novels, and received the Pulitzer Prize in Drama for Our Town in 1938 and The Skin of Our Teeth in 1943. Wilder's hit play The Matchmaker was adapted as the musical Hello, Dolly! His work is widely read and produced around the world to this day, and his screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943) remains a classic psycho-thriller. Wilder's many honors include the Gold Medal for Fiction of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

World's youngest mayor: 15-year-old teenage girl in Palestine
A 15-year-old Palestinian girl took office as the mayor of a West Bank town and became the youngest person in the world to occupy this position.
As part of an initiative to empower youth and involve them in the decision-making process, Bashaer Othman will be the mayor of the town of Allar in the city of Tulkarm in the northwestern West Bank for two months.
Othman is in charge of all matters related to the municipality of Allar and which include supervising employees and signing all official documents with the exception of financial ones.
Othman is working under the supervision of elected mayor Sufian Shadid who expressed his enthusiasm for the teengar's appointment as a step towards supporting youth.
"There are many ways of supporting youth other than financial means. First, we should make sure we remove obstacles that might stand in their way and with determination and perseverance we can do so," he said.
For Othman, the new position constitutes a major challenge that she is hoping she can be up to.
"I want to go through this experience in order to be able to share it with other youth so that they can be prepared for running state institutions in the future," she said.
What do you think about a teenage girl running a city? Tell us your thoughts below.
Top Headlines
She looks like a angel and self confident to perform her task. We wish her good success in life. She is the heir of Laila Khaled of Palestine leader.
The REAL story is that the mayor is a FEMALE.
Oh those rascally Muslims and their wiley ways. Trying to confuse us Westerners. How dare they buck our image of Muslims as Medieval fanatics!?
I do really appreciate it that a youth is governing a city. it's obviously amazing and great revolution inside the body of the government of the country. we have see in a positive side that youth are capable of leading and ruling. we, youth, have potentialities that will be in great achieving the goal of common good if we put them into action in the reality of our situations!
cool !!!! i like you
the Era began ...
Excellent. Keep building up the youth!
What is wrong with the Muslims.. pleading to Allah for his help and doing DIMWIT things like this one.. IDIOTS.. and those who stand by it are IDIOTS too!! JAHIL'S.
Humans may plead to whomever they want, in this case Allah (Arabic word for God) maybe in your case air or pathetically yourself. As for this being a "dimwit" move I must say there is no other dimwit then yourself. How, in any sense, is the unwitty??! This is a youth empowerment exercise that will last only two months. It will be a real life experience for the young girl. Or would you rather her eat away at her braincells by playing lousy videogames?
I really have no problems with this. I really don't think a 15-year-old is a child any longer, and if she can do the job properly, I see no reason to oppose her just because of her age.
I have to wonder what the ultimate consciousness is.
Its one thing to empower youth, its another to empower youths to run state institutions.
I am not familiar with Palestine's State Institutions, however I am definitely aware of the Zionist oppression of Palestine. I am consciously aware that my simple act of living and buying products contributes to this oppression, and at times it makes me want to just be dead, because my very way of life is of an oppressor, simply for being a consumer in an "Imperialist, White Supremacist, Hetero-normative, Capitalist, Patriarchal" (Hooks) society .
My consciousness is to change that, through chopping at the roots. By ripping the roots of the system out of the dirt with a chain and a backhoe. For what though?
First off to end oppression
Second would be to create an environment that fosters the growth of the conscious awareness of one's self, in relation to their specific role in society.
Celebrates diverse, positive, individual expressions of humanity
Celebrates the study of our spiritual and physical nature while exploring their relationship together.
Ensures a critical analysis, that ensures a harmonious role in the eco systems we occupy
And encourages humility in place of shame.
My concern, is "The State of Palestine"'s Consciousness towards human affairs, just as it is every "state"
The fact that she is 15 starts a whole other understanding of culture and how that effect reinforcement of stratification, and if we could ever flourish as an amazing adaptation of matter.
F!@#, I just read way to much into it.
I love her, and I wish her the most beautiful life a human could have. I'm sorry that my life made your entire countries existence the way it is, the pain. I vow to you that I will do everything I can to help create a world where we can embrace diversity and admire it, and spread love and enlightenment. From my heart, I am truly sorry
I don't support this at all. It would be different if it was a young adult, but she's merely a child.....
wonderful !

Hi, all.
I've been practicing for about a year and a half, mostly half-assed. For about the last two months, I've really delved into practice. I've meditated daily, studied a few books, started to apply the lojong slogans, and attended a local center weekly. Monkey mind and I are still close friends, but I'm trying to be patient I've cut down on old habits that I gauged were time wasters, like refreshing Twitter and Facebook, playing lots of computer games, aimlessly using the internet.
There have been two opposite kinds of results, and I was hoping for some input on what may be going on.
On the one hand, I'm finding peace and joy more readily. Getting a filling done today was fascinating. When I was angry and frustrated last night, not even one ounce of bodhicitta available, I found I could at least take refuge while trying to go to sleep. Then I found I could at least recite the Medicine Buddha mantra some. Then there was a little bodhicitta there to work with after all. I was able to fall asleep with metta, thanks to the precious Three Jewels getting me there. It's becoming far easier in general not to respond to the anger or despair of others with more of the same, but instead try to help.
But on the other hand, and this is what's distressing, it seems like everyone in my life around me is getting progressively more and more miserable. My husband of seven years asks me if I'm mad at him all the time. I found out another friend thinks I'm disapproving of her lifestyle (smoking marijuana), partly because I decline to participate. Another friend told me it seemed like I had a lot on my plate, that I seemed stressed.
Now, from my perspective, I'm neither mad, judgmental, nor stressed. When I feel a negative thought or klesha coming on, I try to apply the appropriate antidote or use it as a steppingstone to compassion for other people feeling the same. I can't remember the last time I spent more than a short while in the throes of anger or sadness.
So I have this apparently internal climate of deepening peace and joy, and an external one of people seeming more miserable and telling me I seem more miserable lately, too.
I'm extremely confused. It sort of feels like I'm going crazy. Am I possibly acting unskillfully and not realizing it? Is it that by calming down, I'm gaining perspective on the sort of atmosphere I was unwittingly a part of before? Am I just in denial and repressing everything? I do know my husband is worried that I "don't seem interested in anything anymore" since I cut down on some activities that were just to fritter away time.
Have any of you had this experience?
Thank you very much.

Ocean Alexander
Each of the motor yachts and megayachts from Ocean Alexander are built for long-term cruising with a slow, enjoyable ride and a fuel-efficient sweet spot. A hallmark of the Ocean Alexander design is the hull's prop tunnel, which puts the prop and shaft farther aft than more conventional designs. As a result, Ocean Alexander hulls offer more power and speed with less vibration. In addition, the prop placement creates more usable space in the cabin. With enhanced performance and onboard comfort, Ocean Alexander yachts are popular among serious cruisers. Another defining characteristic of the brand is the use of rare woods. Ocean Alexander is one of the few builders still using high-quality Burmese teak, which is crafted by a labor force skilled at cabinetry, joinery and patterning. The motor yacht line ranges from 72 to 90 feet. The megayachts are sized from 112 to 155 feet.

Teaching kids real math with computers
From rockets to stock markets, many of humanity's most thrilling creations are powered by math. So why do kids lose interest in it? Conrad Wolfram says the part of math we teach — calculation by hand — isn't just tedious, it's mostly irrelevant to real mathematics and the real world. He presents his radical idea: teaching kids math through computer programming.

What is the XMLRPC module?
This is a module which allows you to create a local XML-RPC server and/or to make calls on remote XML-RPC servers.
What is XML-RPC?
XML-RPC is a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet. It uses HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.
Using XMLRPC
Here is an example:
The Server
It's really easy to set up a server which provides a set of remotely callable functions.
- Create a server object
- Add some methods
- Start the server
- You're done!
The Client
It's pretty easy to make the remote calls too
- Create a proxy object to represent the remote server
- Call the remote method via the proxy
- That's all you need
More information
The sources can be found here : XML-RPC.
For a binary download, go to the repository.
If you are using maven to download your dependencies, you won't find all the dependencies in the Maven 2 Repo yet.
The missing dependency (smack) can be manually downloaded from here.
If you are using POMs, the following workaround can be used, to use smack 3.1.0 instead of 3.0.1:

What is culture? How do literature and the visual and performing arts travel across cultures?
CLA addresses these questions by seeking to understand the production and reception of literature, film, and the visual and performing arts through aesthetic, theoretical, historical, and sociological methods. Faculty who teach in CLA draw on a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields, including art history, literature, film, environmental studies, creative writing, performance studies, cultural and media studies, disability studies, history, gender and race studies, and philosophy. CLA students learn to appreciate and think critically about how cultural practices vary across diverse social systems, and are strongly encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to participate in public and community-based arts projects.
CLA graduates are well equipped to pursue graduate education in a range of programs related to the interdisciplinary arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences, as well as professional fields such as law, policy, education, and journalism. CLA also provides excellent preparation for careers in publishing, public relations, and public service, especially in the context of community and public arts organizations. For more information about career possibilities or pursuing graduate school please click here.
While there are no official prerequisites beyond the requirements for admission into the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, students choosing this major will find it helpful to be able to write an analytical paper and should have at least two courses in literature, the visual arts, or performance. Historical knowledge and competency in foreign languages is also highly desirable.
*Should be taken in the first quarter of IAS enrollment.
Within the above-listed 90 credits, students must complete the IPR requirement.
25 credits must be completed in each Area of Knowledge. At least 10 credits in each Area must be completed in courses offered by UW Bothell. The Areas of Knowledge are: Visual, Literary and Performing Arts (VLPA), Individuals and Societies (I&S), and Natural World (NW).
Multiply-designated courses may not be double-counted as fulfilling two Areas of Knowledge. Courses may apply to both an Area of Knowledge requirement and an CLA major requirement.
Up to 35 credits of lower division (100-200 level) coursework taken at UW Bothell may be applied toward designated requirements within the 90 program credits. Please contact an IAS advisor for details.
With the exception of the General Electives, courses taken to satisfy CLA major requirements must be completed in matriculated status.
Students admitted to the CLA major prior to Autumn 2012 may be eligible to complete an older set of major requirements. Students with questions about their major requirements should contact an IAS advisor.
The Culture, Literature, and the Arts curriculum advances the four core IAS learning objectives. Students taking courses and/or majoring in Culture, Literature, and the Arts:
1) Engage the complex question of what cultures are and do;
2) Analyze diverse forms of cultural production and consumption, including literature and language, film and media, music and sound, visual arts and images, performing arts and kinesthetics;
3) Appreciate the richness and complexity of artistic communication, language, and imagination;
4) Investigate the importance of form, design, and genre across the arts;
5) Understand how creativity and artistic expression are embedded within larger social and cultural contexts;
6) Understand how artistic practices and cultural production vary across time and space.
Goldberg, Heuving, & Watts
(Faculty Co-coordinators)
Kochhar-Lindgren, G.
Faculty Coordinator if you have any questions, concerns or ideas about the Culture, Literature and the Arts major. To declare the CLA major, please contact the CUSP office.
Learning to read complex texts is the cornerstone of CLA. Of all the things I've taken from my education at UW Bothell, learning to look at every thing from every angle is the most valuable. CLA taught me not only how to experience texts of all sorts, but also how to create a richer understanding of the world.

A new garden market is coming to the Trent Plaza Shopping Center that will bring fresh, mostly local products to New Bern.
K.D.'s Fresh Garden Market could open in the next couple of weeks or by the first of the year at 2500 Trent Road in the Shopping Center.
Kim Sears, owner of the new market, said she had hoped to open Dec. 13, but that date has been pushed back while work continues on the 1,200-square-foot shop.
"We wanted to do this many years ago," Sears said. "I've been in the grocery business, on and off, most of my life. I have the knowledge and customer service skills."
Sears has already used those skills for more than a year of Saturdays when she and her husband David sell fresh local produce at the Farmers Market.
"We'll be bringing in a lot of artisans who go to the Farmers Market – a lot of people we know," Sears said. "We'll have products that people already recognize."
Sears said she plans to have gourmet coffee and candy, packaged snacks, bulk food items, gluten-free products, pastured-raised meats, local eggs, fresh baked artisan breads, sauces, rubs and more.
"A lot of what is in the store will be fresh, local and natural," Sears said.
Some of the fresh produce will come from Sears' own K.D.'s Garden in Pamlico County. She has an acre garden and rents about two more acres in the county to grow everything from arugula, beets, and collards to lettuce, squash and tomatoes.
"Some of it will also come in from all over the state and other gardens in the area," Sears said. "We've got a lot of local people producing food and quality products. If anyone comes in the shop and we don't have what they are looking for, I'm hoping we can find it for them. We will be trying to allow people to find things through us, even if it's not local."
Sears said the idea of the garden market is catching on with friends and people she has spoken to.
"Everybody thinks it's going to be fantastic," she said. "We have friends at the Farmers Market who can't wait to see what we will have and can't wait to come in and shop."
Sear's husband said he is excited about the opening.
"Everybody has been so positive and great," he said. "A lot of people say this will be more convenient and, by being a smaller store, it will be easier to get in and out compared to supermarkets."
When the market opens, its hours will be 9 a.m. 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, Sears said.
"We are hoping everyone comes out and enjoys it and gives us more ideas of what they would like to see there," she said. "We are always open to suggestions."

DUE WEST, SC - The Pfeiffer men's volleyball team (10-11, 7-4 CC) completed an impressive comeback, rallying from a 2-0 deficit at conference-leading Erskine (15-6, 9-2) on Tuesday night. The Falcons stormed back to win the last three sets, including a dramatic 16-14 victory in the fifth set.
Pfeiffer dropped the first two sets and also erased a 10-7 Erskine lead in the fifth set to record the upset victory and avenge the Flying Fleet's 3-1 win at Pfeiffer on Mar. 10.
Erskine lent a helping hand in the waning moments of the fifth set. Needing just two points to seal the victory, Erskine gave away its 13-10 lead. After a Pfeiffer timeout, Roberto Perez Vargas sent his serve into the net and teammate Michael Michelau had back-to-back attack errors to knot the score at 13. Michelau responded with a kill to give his team the match point, but freshman Evan Blair tied the game with a kill of his own. David Specian then gave Pfeiffer a 15-14 lead and the Falcons wrapped up the contest on an attack error from Mike Kawa as Erskine awarded Pfeiffer four of its final six points.
The Flying Fleet took the first two sets by identical scores of 25-21. Pfeiffer struggled from the opening point as the Falcons hit -.100 in the opening frame and .088 in the second game.
However, Pfeiffer stepped up its play in the third set and posted a .375 hitting percentage and never trailed on their way to the 25-22 victory. Blair sealed the win with a monster kill that was set by Specian.
The fourth set was tied six different times before the Falcons took over. The final tie was at 10 apiece before Pfeiffer outscored the hosts 15-7 the rest of the way to take the set 25-17. Specian and Diniz teamed up for a block on Andres Talavera to send the game into a fifth frame.
The Falcons refused to give in to the deficits they faced in the final set and drew within two games of first place with the victory. With three conference matches left to play Pfeiffer kept its hopes of winning the regular season title alive.
For the match, Michael Brewer paced Pfeiffer with 12 kills and Sonny Hirini recorded 11 kills and 11 digs. Specian added his second consecutive double-double with 36 assists and 11 digs and also chipped in seven kills, while Kevin Ecklund had a game-high 15 digs. Fabio Diniz had eight assisted blocks for Pfeiffer who finished with 16 team stuffs.
Vargas had a game-high 21 kills and Michelau had 18 kills and 11 digs for Erskine.
Pfeiffer finished the match with a .169 team hitting percentage as compared to .211 for the Flying Fleet. Erksine held a 60-50 advantage in kills but committed 19 service errors.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Saturday evening when they travel to Lees-McRae for a 7 p.m. match.

Comments On May 28, 2015:The risers went on easy and the bolts were a perfect fit. I can't believe I road without these in the past. I'm 6'4 and always felt hunched over when standing. Now I can stand up straight so my weight is central rather than forward.
I will say it took some getting use to the sand washes due to the extra high bars.

Put them on my GF's KX100 to improve her riding position when standing and its just what she needed! If you're looking for more room in your cockpit, get a pair of these. Best bang for the buck you'll find.

Comments On Mar 24, 2015:I had 2 of the bolts strip out my triple tree when removing the bolts. I re taped and used new bolts from ACE and all is good. Could this be from user error? Yes, but I don't think so as I never had this happen before. The bolts went in easy but got tighter with each turn on the way out.

Comments On Mar 25, 2015:Tusk Handlebar Riser, Kawasaki KDX 220. I've had these risers for a couple of years now. The only issue is they have a tendency to allow some twist due to the factory rubber handlebar mount. If your bike has a solid mount these will work great.
