Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
No need for any mounting hardware or support brackets.
Just put under passenger seat over the rear fender and tie-down to the motorcycle frame using the attached leather tie-downs on each bag.
You can easily choose how high or low you want to hang the bags by adjusting the center strap. These are designed not to flop around in the wind or get into the rear wheel and also to give adequate leg space for the passenger.
They are going to haul a lot of stuff and will last many years to come. Each penny you spend here is worth more than a penny !!
Chrome Plated Brass Buckles
Chrome Plated Studs
Quick Release Buckles
Zip Off Bags
This will look good and will fit most of the Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW motorcycles.
Comment: These fit nicely and does add some good looks to my bike. I enjoy the extra compartments and the fast access to the bags with the snap on belts.

Comment: I mounted these on a Wide Glide using Easy Brackets so the handle on top is nice - just unlock and take them with you.Very nice bags for the money and they look good and compliment the bike also.The extra D-Rings on the bags make carrying everything you need for a long weekend easy.This is my third order and 5th product from Jafrum and they always exceed expectations.I have recommended them before and will continue to do so.

Comment: These saddlebags are perfect for my needs. Have ridden over twenty miles in heavy rains so far and not a drop in the bags. There is a sturdy plastic stiffener in the bag which helps keep the shape quite well. Two outer pockets on each end of the bag for odds and ends. The bags zip off and on without too much trouble. Construction is all vinyl which makes them almost maintenance free. Although I will probably wash and armour all them a couple of times a year. The adjustment part for how the bags sit on the bike (2001 Suzuki Marauder) was not adequate. The bags hung too low and touched tailpipe. So I had to "custom" the fit. Cut off excess and bolted to underside of rear seat. Works fine. The "D" rings on top are great for bungee strapping. Numerous boxes of donuts and one 14 inch pizza as of this writing. Just cross one bungee from one bag to bag on the other side. The straps for the bags have a quick release function that I think is nifty.

Comment: Used Easy Brackets to tie them to my 2000 FXDWG... carriers my tool kit and my Wet weather gear with room to spare!
Comment: Love these bags, lots of bang for the buck!!! I waited forever for leather up.com to have the bags in stock that I was wanting...they still dont have them! I stumbled upon Jafrum while doing a web search, plenty of inventory! bags fit great on my C90 Boulevard, match the seat and plenty of room away from my straight pipes. side compartments are very practical, good for wallet, phone, sun glasses etc..without needing to get into your bag. I also purchased other items and just as satisfied!! Great company, impressive products. I'll be back!

Comment: Bought these for my husband for Christmas, he hasn't had the motorcycle out yet to put them on but I am sure we will like them. Looks like they are well made, & the best part is that they were not outrageously priced! Hopefully they will look nice on too.
Comment: These fit my Wife's Sportster great. Good quality item.
Walla Walla Wa.
Comment: The bags look great on my Stryker they had to go as far on the adjustment as possible with about 2 inches of room between bags and pipes. I rode several miles bags never got hot. The only issue i have is the leather tie-downs are not leather they are shoe strings that look out of place.

Comment: I like that you can remove the bags when you dont need them and want to show off your bike. They fit my H/D XL883L SuperLow just fine. I simply removed my seat and adjusted the straps to fit. I was ready to ride! Oh yeah, I replaced the seat first. Will be buying more from Jafrum.
College Station, TX
Comment: Excellent product excellent price. Put on a 2000 V-star classic. Looks great. Easy to put on. Love it. Will definitely be back to shop
Comment: Fit and look great on my '98 Yamaha Virago 1100. Great product for the price. Arrived in 3 days. Not a deal breaker but, does not come with leather tie downs as described which would have been better than the slippery lace it did come with.
Niagara Falls
Comment: This is my second set of bags I have bought from Jafrum. On my 2014 Street Bob I have moved the plate holder down to the axle nut with a horizonal holder and installed a removeable sissy bar and turn signals mounts have been changed, both Harley parts. These bags fit real good with no other mods. Used some zip ties on the D rings to help position them, plenty of room around the exhaust and they sit just above the plate holder. Look very nice all around.

Boyer resigns as Jackson girls basketball head coach
"My husband and I are wanting some time for family and after 10 years it was just time to make a change," Boyer said. "I just wanted to be able to spend time at home and the hours you work at basketball is always really long and there's always an amazing class of kids coming through. You always want to be there for one more year."
Boyer said she will continue to teach biology and environmental science at Jackson High School as well as attend Timberwolves' basketball games.
"I already told them I'm going to be their biggest supporter screaming in the stands," she said.
Looking back over her decade at Jackson, Boyer said two seasons really stand out. The first was the 2007-08 season which was the senior campaign for current University of Washington guard Kristi Kingma, Penn State softball player Ashley Todd and Ashly Bruns.
"The team that we had was phenomenal that year, with Kristi Kingma, Ashley Todd and Ashly Bruns," Boyer said. "We won back-to-back district titles and went to state for four straight years with them kind of being the group that started it. That was a really fun group and it was fun to see Kristi set a precedence in Wesco just being a really dominant player. She set the state record for points in a (state playoff) game with 43."
Jackson's 2011-12 season was the other highlight for Boyer. The Timberwolves had their best-ever finish at state, winning the fourth place game against Woodinville 49-48 on a last-second layup.
"Last year's team that we had with Kristin Stoffel, Hayley Gjertsen and Mary Johnson, that trio of seniors were really able to anchor us," Boyer said. "That last game against Woodinville was probably the most fun I've ever had coaching a game."
Boyer decided toward the end of this season that it was time to leave Jackson. And while she says "there's always time to come back," Boyer was happy to leave the next Timberwolves coach with a strong team, including current juniors Kelli Kingma and Sierra Anderson.
"The kids are such a great group of girls. I'm really excited for them next year," Boyer said. "I wanted to be sure to leave the cupboard full. There's so much talent on that team. Whoever comes in is going to get to work with an extremely talented group of girls."

Brophy Named Tournament MVP as Men's Volleyball Tournament Title; Set School and Conference Record for 21-Win Season
April 18, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Led by 17 kills and a .474 hitting percentage from tournament MVP Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA), the Pfeiffer University mens volleyball team captured their first-ever Conference Carolinas tournament title with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-21) sweep over the two-time defending champs Mount Olive College in front of 648 loud and raucous fans on Wednesday night. The Falcons, who win their third this year over the Trojans, set a new conference record for wins in a season finishing 21-6 overall while the Trojans complete 2012 at 17-14.
Brophy would start his MVP run with the games first kill of the night before a pair of Adam Miracle (Cincinnati, OH) kills and put down from John Nunns (Fayetteville, NC) helped the Trojans jump out to an early 4-1 lead. Brophy would help stifle the Mount Olive run twice before David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) served up his only ace of the night to put the Falcons back on top 12-11. Going back-and-forth through the middle portion of set one, Brophy and Konstantin Weise (Berlin, GERMANY) pushed kills late as the Falcons grabbed a 25-23 set and 1-0 match lead.
In the middle stanza, a Lance Johnson (Harrisburg, PA) kill and two more by Brophy shot the hosts out to a 4-0 lead before a Miracle kill got the Trojans right back in it at 11-10. After a Michael McLaughlin (Aliquippa, PA) kill, Mount Olive would commit three-straight hitting errors calling a timeout down 15-10. Jack Tutty (Sydney, AUSTRALIA) and Miracle would again bring the Trojans back into the set as two with kills before late errors by the Falcons squared the set at 21-21. A Brophy kill and immediate ace helped the Pfeiffer to another 25-23 set win just one set away from the sweep.
Mount Olive again hung around in set three as another Miracle kill and Pfeiffer error put the visitors up 12-10. Two kills in a three-play span from Moore kept the Falcons around until two more miscues put the Trojans up 15-13. Moore and Weise contributed to Mount Olives final timeout of the night up 19-17 late in the final set. Johnson would put down another Pfeiffer kill in between the final two from Miracle but a solo block by Weise and block assist by Weise and McLaughlin on the final two points gave Pfeiffer their first-ever championship and record-breaking 21st win of the season.
Behind Brophys 17 kills, Moore finished with 11 while Johnson and Weise each hit over .400 in the win. Specian averaged 14 assists per set to finish with 42 on the night concluding with 1,019 on the year setting a new school-record. Miracle paced the Trojans with 12 while Metichecchia had 25 assists.
Moore and Specian join Brophy on the 2012 All-Tournament Team along with Metichecchia and Dan Arnold from Mount Olive. Limestones Scott Warren and Lees-McRaes Jose Ribas round out this years squad.

Popper extends JUnit to allow you to specify theories. Theories are assertions about your code's behavior that may be true over (potentially) infinite sets of input values. You might find it useful to pose theories about your Groovy code too.
Let's consider how we might test the following class (example taken from the Popper web site):
|Code Block
class Dollar { int amount Dollar(int amount) { this.amount = amount } Dollar times(int value) { amount *= value; return this } Dollar divideBy(int value) { amount /= value; return this } }
With traditional JUnit code, we might test it as follows:
|Code Block
import org.junit.Test import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore class StandardTest { @Test void multiplyThenDivide() { assert new Dollar(10).times(6).divideBy(6).amount == 10 } } JUnitCore.main('StandardTest')
This tests the method for one
amount value and one
m value. Next steps might be to triangulate so that additional values are also tested. In general though, it might be difficult to know when you have done enough values (when to stop) and also what invariants of your class may hold if you simply keep adding more tests without sufficient refactoring. With these factors in mind, Popper provides facilities to make invariants and preconditions of your classes obvious as well as providing an extensible framework for adding new test values.
Here is how you might use Popper to test the above class. First, we have avoided using Hamcrest style assertions in our Groovy code. Groovy's built-in
assert method usually allows such assertions to be expressed very elegantly without any additional framework. We'll create a small helper class to allow Groovy-style assertions to be used for method pre-conditions:
|Code Block
import static net.saff.theories.assertion.api.Requirements.* import net.saff.theories.assertion.api.InvalidTheoryParameterException import net.saff.theories.runner.api.TheoryContainer class GroovyTheoryContainer extends TheoryContainer { def assume(condition) { try { assert condition } catch (AssertionError ae) { throw new InvalidTheoryParameterException(condition, is(condition)) } } def assumeMayFailForIllegalArguments(Closure c) { try { c.call() } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { throw new InvalidTheoryParameterException(e, isNull()) } } }
Now, our test becomes:
|Code Block
import org.junit.* import org.junit.runner.* import net.saff.theories.methods.api.Theory import net.saff.theories.runner.api.* @RunWith(Theories) class PopperTest extends GroovyTheoryContainer { private log = [] // for explanatory purposes only public static int VAL1 = 0 public static int VAL2 = 1 public static int VAL3 = 2 public static int VAL4 = 5 @Theory void multiplyIsInverseOfDivide(int amount, int m) { assume m != 0 assert new Dollar(amount).times(m).divideBy(m).amount == amount log << [amount, m] } @After void dumpLog() { println log } } JUnitCore.main('PopperTest')
We have added an additional log variable to this example to explain how Popper works. By default, Popper will use any public fields in our test as test data values
VAL1 through
VAL4 in our example. It will determine all combinations of the available variables and call the
multiplyIsInverseOfDivide() for each combination. This is a very crude way to select test instance values but works for simple tests like this one.
You should also note the
assume statement. In our example, we haven't catered for
m being 0 which would result in a divide by zero error. The assume statement allows this method precondition to be made explicit. When Popper calls the test method, it will silently ignore any test data combinations which fail the method preconditions. This keeps the preconditions obvious and simplifies creating test data sets.
Here is the output from running this test:
|Code Block
JUnit version 4.3.1 .[[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 5], [1, 1], [1, 2], [1, 5], [2, 1], [2, 2], [2, 5], [5, 1], [5, 2], [5, 5]] Time: 0.297 OK (1 test)
We wouldn't normally recommend sending this kind of information to standard out when running your test, but here it is very illustrative. Note that all four test values have been used for the
amount variable but only three values have been used for
m. This is exactly what we want here.
Popper supports an extensible framework for specifying more elaborate algorithms for selecting test data. Instead of the public variables, we can define our own parameter supplier. Here is one which supplies data between a
first value and a
last value. First the annotation definition (coded in Java):
|Code Block
// Java import net.saff.theories.methods.api.ParametersSuppliedBy; import java.lang.annotation.*; @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @ParametersSuppliedBy(BetweenSupplier.class) public @interface Between { int first(); int last(); }
And the backing supplier (coded in Groovy):
|Code Block
import net.saff.theories.methods.api.* import java.util.* public class BetweenSupplier extends ParameterSupplier { public List getValues(test, ParameterSignature sig) { def annotation = sig.supplierAnnotation annotation.first()..annotation.last() } }
Now our Groovy test example could become:
|Code Block
import org.junit.* import org.junit.runner.* import net.saff.theories.methods.api.Theory import net.saff.theories.runner.api.* @RunWith(Theories) class PopperBetweenTest extends GroovyTheoryContainer { private int test, total // for explanatory purposes only @Theory void multiplyIsInverseOfDivide( @Between(first = -4, last = 2) int amount, @Between(first = -2, last = 5) int m ) { total++ assume m != 0 assert new Dollar(amount).times(m).divideBy(m).amount == amount test++ } @After void dumpLog() { println "$test tests performed out of $total combinations" } } JUnitCore.main('PopperBetweenTest')
When run, this yields:
|Code Block
JUnit version 4.3.1 .49 tests performed out of 56 combinations Time: 0.234 OK (1 test)
The supplied test values for the test method are
(-4, -2), (-4, -1), (-4, 0), ..., (2, 5). The data where m is equal to 0 will be skipped as soon as the
assume statement is reached.
Bowling Example
We can also Groovy to make the bowling example a little more succinct:
|Code Block
import net.saff.theories.methods.api.* import net.saff.theories.runner.api.* import org.junit.runner.* @RunWith(Theories.class) class BowlingTests extends GroovyTheoryContainer { public static Game STARTING_GAME = new Game() public static Game NULL_GAME = null public static Bowl THREE = new Bowl(3) public static Bowl FOUR = new Bowl(4) public static Bowl NULL_BOWL = null @DataPoint public Bowl oneHundredBowl() { new Bowl(100) } public static int ONE_HUNDRED = 100 public static int ZERO = 0 @Theory public void shouldBeTenFramesWithTwoRollsInEach(Game game, Bowl first, Bowl second) { assume game && first && second assume game.isAtBeginning() assume !first.isStrike() assume !second.completesSpareAfter(first) 10.times { game.bowl(first) game.bowl(second) } assert game.isGameOver() } @Theory public void maximumPinCountIsTen(Bowl bowl) { assume bowl assert bowl.pinCount() <= 10 } @Theory public void pinCountMatchesConstructorParameter(int pinCount) { assumeMayFailForIllegalArguments { assert new Bowl(pinCount).pinCount() == pinCount } } } JUnitCore.main('BowlingTests')

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio—A 17-2 run with five minutes to go in the first half propelled the Miami University men's basketball team to a 70-65 win at Bowling Green State University on Saturday evening at the Stroh Center.
The win was the RedHawks' third straight and pushed Miami to 8-9 overall and 4-2 in Mid-American Conference action. Miami has now won six of its last nine games. It also was Miami's fourth road win of the season, and the RedHawks moved to 3-1 on the road in conference play.
Junior guard Will Sullivan and sophomore guard Willie Moore paced the RedHawks with 16 points apiece. It was a season-high for Moore, who was 12-for-12 from the free-throw line. Senior forward Will Felder chipped in 12 points, while senior guard Quinten Rollins added 10 points and three steals in the winning effort.
Bowling Green (9-10; 3-3 MAC) used a 7-0 flurry to build a 14-6 lead by the 12:54 mark of the first half. Miami chiseled away and used back-to-back triples from Sullivan and a put-back dunk from Felder to close the gap. The RedHawks took their first lead of the game off a freshman guard Jaryd Eustace trey with 3:28 to go, 25-23.
The RedHawks used a 17-2 run from the 5:08 mark to the 0:42 mark to surge to a nine-point lead, 34-25. Moore was 6-for-6 from the free throw line late in the run to spur the RedHawks. BGSU's Anthony Henderson drained a triple with 27 seconds left, but Miami came back with a pair of Eustace free throws to give the Red and White an eight-point halftime advantage, 36-28.
Miami shot a solid 54.5 percent from the field in the first half.
Over the opening 10 minutes of the second half, Bowling Green climbed to within two, 47-45, but Miami staged a 10-2 surge, fueled by a Sullivan four-point play and six straight points by Rollins to capture a 57-47 lead with 5:13 to go. Bowling Green hit three 3-pointers over the final 18 seconds, but Miami drained 5-of-6 free throws over that stretch to secure the five-point win.
Jehvon Clarke scored 22 points for the Falcons to lead all players.
After playing five of its last seven on the road, Miami returns home for a pair of games beginning with a 7 p.m. game against the Toledo Rockets on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Prior to the game as part of the Armstrong Student Center Grand Opening Celebration, Miami Athletics and the Red & White Club will host a reception at the Armstrong Center from 5-6:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. (More Information) At halftime of the game, the fan-favorite Kings Firecrackers jump rope team will perform. Get your tickets today for an exciting week of Miami Basketball by visiting or calling the Miami Athletics Ticket office at 513-529-4329 or clicking here.

How to use BTM as the transaction manager in jetty6
These instructions have been verified against BTM 1.0.
Step 1: Copy the BTM jars
- btm-1.0.jar
- geronimo-spec-jta-1.0.1B-rc4.jar
- slf4j-jdk14.jar
Step 2: Configure BTM as the transaction manager
Copy the following into your jetty config file:
Step 3: Configure DataSources that are transaction aware
The easiest way to do this is to use the
DataSource that ship with BTM.
Here's an example of using BTM with a
DataSource that implements
bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.PoolingDataSource implements
javax.sql.DataSource and interacts with the
javax.sql.XADataSource provided in this instance by Derby.
If your database vendor does not provide an
XADataSource, you can use BTM's
bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.lrc.LrcXADataSource as the
XADataSource to allow your database connections to be controlled by the transaction manager:
Again, we've used Derby as an example, but as the
LrcXADataSource uses only the class name and url of a
java.sql.Driver, you can use it with any database providing a JDBC driver.

They provide a pleasant green backdrop, reduce stress and even purify the air, said Jenn Dazey, a naturopathic physician who teaches organic gardening and botanical medicine classes at Bastyr University.
Dazey is one of eight gardening experts scheduled to give talks as part of the Sustainable Gardening Winter Speaker Series, which begins in January. Dazey will speak Jan. 31.
She became interested in indoor plants after she noticed more people she treated at her practice becoming ill during the winter months.
She learned that indoor plants can absorb and neutralize pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds released from the everyday manufactured items in the home, such as carpeting and pressboard furniture.
The most famous study on the topic was completed by NASA in 1989 and researchers at the University of Georgia have since expanded on that work. In one study at the University of Georgia, researchers placed different plants in a sealed chamber with air pollutants, and found many plants worked better than HEPA filters at removing pollutants.
Some plants also regulate humidity in the home, reducing dust and mold, she said.
To reap the health benefits, add the equivalent of 10 plants in 6-inch pots for every 1,000 square feet of house, Dazey said. Plants provide the same benefits at the office, too.
Generally, houseplants need a container with drainage holes and a dish underneath, she said. Fill the container with a good, all-purpose organic potting soil. Many indoor plants don't need fertilizer. When planting a new container, make sure to give the plant some water. That helps settle soil particles and keeps the plant from wilting from shock.
Quite a selection of indoor plants are available that are easy to care for, even for those who feel indoor plants tremble in fear at their approach.
Cacti are not good at removing pollutants from the environment because, as Dazey put it, they keep their mouths shut to conserve moisture. Instead, here are a few recommendations from Dazey of plants that reduce toxins and are fairly forgiving:
Boston fern: This plant likes to stay moist and can't handle direct sunlight. It's perfect for a daylight basement, a west- or north-facing room or a bathroom without a window.
The fern pulls moisture from the air, which helps reduce mold. Water about once a week.
Fiddle leaf fig tree: This plant thrives on neglect. When people have problems with this tree, it's because they give it too much attention by fertilizing or overwatering, Dazey said.
It wants to dry out before it is watered. It prefers dim light and grows to about 5 feet tall indoors. It also does better in a too-tight pot. She suggested a container no bigger than 10 inches.
About every five years, the tree needs to come out of the container and have its roots pruned.
Snake plant: This plant is also commonly known as mother-in-law's tongue. It can almost grow in the dark, Dazey said. It needs water about once a month.
Spider plant: This is the plant that keeps on giving and giving, Dazey said. Its long tendrils can easily be snipped and transferred to a new pot. The plant fills whatever container you plant it in and needs to be divided about every six months.
If the classic spider plant doesn't appeal, plenty of new varieties are available, including variegated forms. Spider plants do well in a variety of light, including artificial light.
The plant is so hardy, Dazey said she's seen plants that appear dead come back to life once watered.
Peace lily: This plant is a top performer when it comes to removing various kinds of chemicals from the home environment. Different varieties are available. The plant is prized for its blooms, which feature cream-colored petals surrounding a yellow spadix.
It prefers a medium-moist soil but can tolerate those people who compulsively over water. The plant likes low light. People often place them on the floor to better view the gorgeous flowers, Dazey said.
Hoya: Dozens of varieties of this vine are available. It wants to grow and grow up toward the light, Dazey said, and it's happiest in full sun, so a south-facing room would be best.
The plant is incredibly fragrant. Since it is a vine, it does need to be trained up a trellis or some other vertical object. The vine likes a too-tight pot, and it's easy to take cuttings.
English ivy: This plant is an invasive plant outdoors so keep it inside. Within the home, it tolerates most light conditions. It can be trained into a topiary or allowed to sprawl across a curtain rod or spill down a pedestal. Different varieties are available, one so delicate it the leaves resemble that of a Japanese maple.
Dracaena: This plant is often mistaken for a palm. They come in many different color variations. They do not like direct sunlight. This slow grower needs its pot size increased gradually as it grows so it doesn't become root-bound.
One last tip from Dazey. It's normal for houseplants to get infested with bugs, such as spider mites. If the plant has spider mites, it often looks dry and you may see fine webbing.
Avoid using pesticides, which kill microbes in the soil that help the plant work as an air filter. Instead, give the problem plant a few minutes in a cold shower once a week.
Most are tropical rain forest plants and benefit from an indoor version of the monsoon.
After about three showers, the bugs are usually gone, she said.

Political Positions
Gay Marriage
Sen. Mark Pryor did not support gay marriage and has not changed his position on this issue. He is one of nine Democratic Senators who do not support gay marriage.[4]
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Pryor voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89/8 vote on January 1, 2013.[5]
2013 Senate Budget Proposal
On March 23, after an all-night debate that ended just before 5 a.m., by a 50 to 49 vote the Democratically controlled Senate approved its first budget in four years.[6] No Republicans voted for the Senate plan, and four Democrats opposed it. All four are from red states and are up for re-election in 2014.[6] Pryor was one of the four Democrats who voted against the budget proposal.
The approved plan is a $3.7 trillion budget for 2014 and would provide a fast track for passage of tax increases, trim spending modestly and leave the government still deeply in the red for the next decade.[6]
The approval of a budget in the Senate began the process of setting up contentious, and potentially fruitless, negotiations with the Republican-controlled House starting in April to reconcile two vastly different plans for dealing with the nation's economic and budgetary problems.
The House plan brought the government's taxes and spending into balance by 2023 with cuts to domestic spending even below the levels of automatic across-the-board cuts for federal programs, and it ordered up dramatic and controversial changes to Medicare and the tax code.[6]
The Senate plan differed greatly, and included $100 billion in upfront infrastructure spending to bolster the economy and calls for special fast-track rules to overhaul the tax code and raise $975 billion over 10 years in legislation that could not be filibustered. Even with that tax increase and prescribed spending cuts, the plan approved by the Senate would have left the government with a $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and $5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window.[6]
The FiscalTimes compiled a list of the seven most vulnerable Senate seats up for election in 2014. The seven included in the list are: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Going into the 2014 election, all seven seats are held by Democrats.[7]
Pryor likely faces some competition from Lt. Gov. Mark Darr (R) who appears likely to jump into the race after ruling out a gubernatorial bid.[7] However, some speculation still exists among Republicans that Rep. Tom Cotton will be the Republican challenger instead.[7]
On November 4, 2008, Pryor won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Rebekah Kennedy in the general election.[8]

Overall, Arkansas ranks 36th in average salary for senatorial staff. The average U.S. Senate congressional staff was paid $2,529,141.70 in fiscal year 2011.[11]
Net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org - The Center for Responsive Politics, Pryor's net worth as of 2011 was estimated between $16,002 and $65,000. That averages to $40,501, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senators in 2011 of $20,795,450. His average net worth increased by 376.48% from 2010.[12]

One-year-old Pit Bull Zelliewas just skin and bones when ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) Agents found her with no food or water. The neglected pup was shackled to a tree with a padlock attached to a short, heavy chain—and there was no escape for her. Not until we arrived.
Our Agents quickly rescued Zellie and transported her to the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in Manhattan for treatment. Weighing just 32 pounds, veterinarians determined that she was both starved and dehydrated.
This Saturday, Shakisha Codling, 31, was arrested by ASPCA Special Investigator Mark MacDonaldand charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. She is due in Queens Criminal Court on July 31.
As for Zellie? After receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, she now weighs 48 pounds—a 51 percent increase! She is currently receiving lots of love and attention at the hospital and will eventually be made available for adoption.
Take Action!
If you suspect an animal may be the victim of neglect or abuse, please report it. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how.
why doesn't punishment fit the crime? is it because they are only animals? that's such a lousy thing to say....they have feelings, she is such a beautiful little girl. Please give animal abusers punishments that hurt....
I 100% agree with you Terri Canavan!!!
I agree with you 100% - the punishment should fit the crime! A 1,000 dollar fine &/or a year in prison seems way too lenient!
Hey guys in the US, I am writing from a European (EU) country, here prison for these criminals has been in the law only for couple years but NONE has been actually sentenced for jail....though there have been many who deserve it...be grateful for your law, even when you think it is not strict enough!!!
Glad to hear that these animals will finally have some justice...although even if she gets the max it's way to light.
People that neglect their pets should be removed from society for at least 3 years and never be allowed to own another one.
This witch should be charged with a felony Not a misdemeanor, at least a full year in jail AND a big fine. Damn it, start punishing these animal abusers!!!!!
She should be charged with a felony , but I bet the judge gives her community service . I am fed up with these lousy laws we have concerning animal abuse.
Why can't we all start something with each state ? In mass!
I agree, if every animal lover got together and fought to pass laws such as animals are not property and living breathing loving creatures that are part of or can be part of a family i would hope thinfs would change. Whats sad is that anyone can have a baby but that doesnt mean they are a good parent, the biggest reason people neglect and abuse animals is probably because they were never taught love and compassion, i cant imagine how these people treat their children. I understand the united states is a free country but if people were required bring their dogs to obedience classes or something i dont know, loving animals doesnt necessarly mean you can be a good dog owner, it requires love patience financial stability responsibility and a long term commitment, because the owner is responsible for their dogs life. If some one spends 1000 dollars on a "designer" dog bought online thats really from a puppy mill and cant afford their puppy shot series, getting them fixed, or if they have kennel cough then they shouldent have a dog, in my opinion. Not to mention adopting a dog is much better! Education is key!
First of all, the person/persons who abuse animals should be charged with a FELONY not a MISDEMEANER! One year in jail and a $1,000 fine! This is why they always repeat the offence at the poor animals expense. How many die unnoticed or unreported. Everyone I talk to who loves animals agree...it should be a FELONY conviction with more PRISON time and a much bigger fine. Maybe that would end it.

Learn Multimedia Online
The Compelling Image provides you with the ability to learn multimedia online and interactively - covering a range of topics that combine audio and still photographs, video clips and stills and combinations thereof, to produce powerful and compelling multimedia stories and productions.
Have you ever heard yourself saying 'it looked better in person than in this picture' when sharing photographs of your journeys with friends and colleagues? The pictures we make while traveling are our visual memories of the places we visit, and we want those images to have impact and tells a story of our journey in a way that holds the interest of the viewer. With this online photography course you'll learn just how it's done. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.
Fine Art Photography is traditionally thought of as an image captured masterfully. Think of the works of Paul Strand, Irving Penn, and Dorothea Lange. They have all made images that are rightfully placed in museums and photography history books. This online photography course is designed to stretch the genre, along with your own talent as a photographer. The result just might be an expressively creative fine art masterpiece of your own. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.
While black and white photographs were among the very first photographs taken, they are now frontier in digital photography. Digital cameras record light differently than film cameras and differently than the human eye. This black and white online photography course is the first in a series of three courses designed to help digital photographers see, think and express in light and shadow, black and white. It will cover how the human eye and the camera record light and how to begin to express yourself in the scale of white, gray and black tones. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.
The last rolls of legendary Kodachrome have disappeared from the shelves of camera shops. Bins of assorted film cameras and accessories lay it bins, waiting to be rummaged through and sold at rock-bottom prices. The digital age of cameras is upon us. In actuality, it's been around for a number of years now and new camera models come on the scene regularly, sporting ever more features and pixel counts. Yet despite the sometimes daunting array of "bells and whistles" out there, photography is still photography. The basics still apply - and in many ways, in an ever more exciting way. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.
Viewing the world through photojournalistic eyes means more than taking the occasional snapshot. It involves a deeper look to uncover the facts and then present them in an informative, storytelling and creative way. These interactive and online photography classes are designed to give you what you need - hands-on - to get started. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.
We all have stories to tell. Whether it's about your own life, that of your grandmother's experiences growing up or highlighting an example of corporate greed over the common good, a story worth telling, is worth telling well. Some of us are natural storytellers. Others feel they have something to say, but don't know how to say it. In this course you will be taken step-by-step through the entire process of producing a short, easily-achievable, 5-minute documentary film on a topic of your choice. Upon completion, you will have a professional-looking documentary video that you can show to family and friends and/or upload to to the internet for all the world to see. Includes Skype Consultation with Instructor.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
The Bellevarde Lodges are an imposing collection of six stone-and-timber chalets situated right on the Santons piste and just a few hundred metres from the Olympique cable car. The Lodges have proved extremely popular with both our regular guests and the national press, described as 'comfortably chic …the best located new chalets in resort this season' by the Evening Standard.
Named after some of the worlds favourite wines (plus a brandy!) – Muscat, Merlot, Margaux, Cognac, Savoie, Chablis - each chalet is identical in layout and varies only in orientation and colour scheme. We used genuine old timbers from a local dismantled farmhouse, Italian marble in the bathrooms and polished parquet flooring throughout. The vaulted sitting rooms with exposed beams and floor to ceiling glass boast finest English made sofas and one of the most breathtaking views in the resort. There is a delightful fireplace, sprawling sunny terrace and widescreen DVD television with cinema surround sound. Hair dryers in every room and heated ski boots in the morning are some of the small but important touches.
Thanks to its piste-side position, Bellevarde Lodge is genuinely ski in/ski out.
Good food is an essential ingredient of every chalet party. The welcoming glass of bubbly and appetising canapés on your first evening sets the tone for a week of tempting cuisine.
Your day starts with a choice of tea or coffee at your bedside (we can leave it outside the door if you prefer). This is followed by a hearty breakfast, including French bacon, tomatoes and a choice of eggs or, if you prefer, porridge; all served with fruit juice, cereals, yoghurt, freshly baked bread, croissants, jams, and a selection of teas and coffee. Once a week your chalet host offers an option of fresh pancakes.
While you are out skiing your host will have laid out afternoon tea for your return – diet-defying cakes, bread, jam, tea, coffee or hot chocolate. First one home puts the kettle on!
Dinner comprises a three-course meal followed by a cheese course, coffee and mints, and all complemented by a selection of extremely palatable French wines. The quality of our wine is of a much superior standard to that which you might have come to expect on a chalet holiday and we have a choice of house reds and whites to accompany your evening meal. In the unlikely event that our house wine proves not to be to your liking then additional choices, including champagne and port, are available from our cellar for a small supplement.
Chalet Hosts: As well as possessing a flair for entertaining and a genuine love of food, our chalet hosts are friendly, unflappable and exceptionally hard working. Having completed a rigorous pre-season training course, each host is encouraged to manage their chalet as if it were their own home. We find this engenders a commitment to your enjoyment and well-being which makes the atmosphere in our chalets quite different. Our chalet hosts have one day a week off. On this day breakfast will be laid out and fresh bread delivered to your chalet. Your host will be delighted to recommend and book a local restaurant for your evening meal.

WHITSETT — Jason Wright said that with spring having finally sprung, he's looking for his business to take off. He's seen it happen before.
"It's like going from 10 mph to 100 mph," Wright said. "Warm weather really makes the business."
Wright is owner of American Mulch Supply in Whitsett. The business is located on U.S. 70 close to the highway's intersection with N.C. 61.
Wright, 36, opened American Mulch 10 years ago this spring. He was a press operator in the printing business by trade, but also worked part time as a landscaper.
A native of Whitsett, Wright said that while landscaping in the area, he realized he had to drive a good distance to buy mulch.
"It was either Greensboro or Mebane," he said.
The lot on U.S. 70 where Wright would eventually open American Mulch was available for lease and it was only a mile from his house. So Wright decided to give it a shot.
He was so unsure of its success that for the first year he kept his third-shift job as a press operator at Avery Dennison Corp. in Greensboro. Going in, Wright sold mulch and not a lot else.
He's expanded considerably over the years. Wright still sells mulch — 10 varieties, plus everything from top soil to pine needles and wheat straw — but he also offers plants, rocks, concrete pavers, blocks for retaining walls and even shovels. In the winter, when business is slow, he sells firewood by the pallet.
"We've become sort of a one-stop shop," is how Wright describes it.
His customers appreciate Wright's easygoing ways and his efforts to please. Steve Waltman is the owner of Natural Gardens of Elon Inc. and said he's been buying from American Mulch for at least seven years.
"We like to do business with local people," Waltman said. "We told Jason what we expected and he's pretty much lived up to it."
Waltman said Wright has met him at his business as late as 9:30 p.m. to sell him supplies when the situation demanded.
"That means a lot to us," Waltman said. "We know he's there if we need him."
Of Wright, Waltman said you'll be hard-pressed to find a better-liked businessman.
"I don't know of anyone who says a bad word about him," Waltman said.
Wright was raised in Whitsett and graduated from Eastern Guilford High School. He attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington though he didn't graduate. Wright and his wife, Stephanie, have three children — Savannah, 16, Jack, 8, and Katy, 5.
Phillip Boswell works as the manager at American Mulch and Wright has a couple of part-timers who help him as needed.
Wright said his business is divided almost evenly between landscapers and homeowners. During the spring and summer the core of his sales comes from homeowners. He depends on the year-round work of landscapers to get him through winter's chill.
"It's very seasonal when it comes to homeowners," Wright said.
A lot of his business success, he admitted, owes to his location. Residents of Stoney Creek Golf Club make up a good percentage of his customers. Several subdivisions have been built around American Mulch over the past 10 years. The new residents become customers.
"We're right in the heart of all this growth," Wright said. "That's definitely helped us."

OLIN - The defending Mountain Valley Conference volleyball champion Lady Rams opened their 2013 campaign with a big 3-1 victory over 3A power North Iredell Monday night.
Starmount dropped a close first game, 26-24, to the Raiders before reeling off three straight victories to capture the win. The Rams won 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 in the final three rounds to notch their first triumph of the year.
Looking to replace two-time player of the year Ashton Gregory, all-conference performers Haley Hartman and Erin Barr, along with high jump state champion Hunter Welborn, stepped into the spotlight Monday looking to fill the void.
Welborn powered the Rams with a triple-double with 19 kills, 20 digs, 13 blocks and three aces, while Hartman racked up 13 kills, 27 digs, three assists and a pair of blocks. Barr accounted for 39 assists and 22 digs on the night, including five blocks.
Alli St. John tacked on 12 digs and seven kills, while going 12-for-13 on her serves. Alli Jones was 30-for-30 on serves with 21 digs and six blocks, while Ashley Johnson added six kills and six digs.
Starmount returns to the court Tuesday night against 4A powerhouse Reagan before hosting reigning 2A state champion North Surry and 3A Carson Saturday in an early-season tri-match.

On February 1 on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota, as the temperature plummeted to -29 degrees, Tribal Police Chief Kenneth Washington responded to a call about a dog in trouble. A Leech Laker known for her love of animals, Teresa Gunter, had reported a wounded dog, reeling in pain outside in the cold.
When Gunter showed Washington the weak, bloody shepherd mix, he was alarmed: The dog couldn't even lift his head off his paw. "His eyes were sunken in," Washington recalls. "I thought he might die." He knew he had to help.
Two years ago, this story wouldn't have had a happy ending. But because the Tribal Police go the extra mile for animals and work with a project called Leech Lake Legacy, there was hope. The project transports animals in need from the reservation to shelters and rescues around Minnesota that can provide life-saving veterinary care, rehabilitation and adoption.
This transport project is supported in part through a special ASPCA program that helps cash-strapped municipal animal care agencies move more dogs to safety. In the last six months alone, we've helped the Tribal Police get hundreds more dogs to safety.
The night he found the dog—named Nibi—Washington called Leech Lake Legacy right away. The next day he was on a transport to safety.
Today, just over a month after Washington rescued him, Nibi is thriving, getting healthier each day. He greets people enthusiastically and likes to put their fingers in his mouth as his special way of "holding hands."
Nibi's story doesn't make headlines, but it's one of millions in which the ASPCA is honored to play a role.
You can help us reach more animals like Nibi by making a gift today. You'll help us be prepared to go wherever animals need us, whenever they need us. We can't do it without you.
Great! - always nice to know there are people with hearts out there.
Is there any news on the who did this to the helpless dog?
So sad to read about this injured shepherd mix but glad his story has a happy ending b/c people cared about this injured dog!
Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful that
Washington survived xxxx
Way to go to all those that helped this most precious puppy dog. My heart goes out to all of you particularly to Nibi, what a darling face. How can anyone hurt these animals. It literally kills me every time I read a story like this. I am so thankful there are more caring and loving people than cruel. This could have been a very sad ending but lucky for him it seems like it will be a very happy ending for him. Coodoos to Nibi, Teresa and Kenneth you are all very wonderful and special!!! YEAH!!!!
I was in tears to read this story. Who could do that to a harmless animal. I am glad he is ok.
This story makes me cry with tears of happiness. This dog is very special. A big thank you for making this happen.
So glad he's doing better. That poor baby. So glad there are still good people in the world who don't turn their backs on animals. God Bless those people!
So happy Nibi got the second chance he deserved. My greatest wish is that all animals in need could be rescued and given the love and care they deserve.
Thank God for caring people. Now don't stop until you find the person or persons responsible and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Only then will things improve. Some people are heartless and twisted and deserve major jail time.

OXFORD, Ohio - After both set career highs on the hardwood last week, junior forward Will Felder and junior guard Hannah Robertson have been named the Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the week of Jan. 14-20.
Felder (Cleveland, Ohio) averaged 16.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg and shot 66.7 percent from the field in Miami's two games last week. He set a career high at Miami for points, pouring in 20 in a 63-60 win over Bowling Green on Wednesday. Felder went 10-for-14 from the field against the Falcons, shooting a scorching 71.4 percent from the floor as the RedHawks notched their second-best shooting effort of the season as a team (.549). After trailing most of the game vs. BGSU, Felder hit a jumper with two minutes left to put the RedHawks up for good. He also pulled down seven boards, added two assists and a steal against the Falcons. At Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Felder led the RedHawks with 12 points off 4-of-7 shooting and collected a Miami career-high nine rebounds to lead all players, while also blocking one shot.
The Miami Male Athlete of the Week honor is the first of Felder's career while he is the second straight men's basketball player to pick up the accolade after junior guard Allen Roberts claimed it last week.
Robertson (New Albany, Ohio) showed that she was completely recovered from her recent injury, averaging 17 points in two big Miami wins last week. She tied a career high with 21 points in a 26-point victory over rival Ohio on Thursday. She then followed it up with 13 points against Eastern Michigan on Sunday. Robertson shot 56.5 percent from the field for the week, including an 8-for-11 performance against the Bobcats. She was 5-for-11 from behind the arc in the two games. Robertson had three rebounds against Ohio and followed that up with eight rebounds against EMU, which was only one off her season high. She averaged 5.5 caroms per contest in the two games. Robertson also had four assists and two steals on the week.
The honor is the first of Robertson's career while she was also named Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week on Monday for her efforts. The MAC Player of the Week nod was also the first of her career.
Felder leads the men's basketball team back into action Wednesday when the RedHawks host rival Ohio at 7 p.m. at Millett Hall before welcoming Ball State to Oxford on Saturday. Robertson is back on the court Thursday when the women's basketball team travels to Bowling Green for a MAC matchup before heading to Kent State for a Sunday contest.
The next Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications will be announced Tuesday, Jan. 29. For a list of previous winners, click here.

RYAN VREDE with the assistance of ruckingoodstats.com analyses the strengths and weaknesses of New Zealand and Australia ahead of their World Cup semi-final clash.
Australia undoubtedly come into the match as underdogs, having lost eight of their last 10 Tests against the Blacks, and having not won at this venue in 10 attempts, dating back to 6 September 1986.
They have furiously attempted to deflect the pressure onto the Blacks, claiming that the match is theirs to lose. That is a fallacy. With the hosts shorn of their fulcrum Dan Carter and with the talismanic Richie McCaw's influence compromised by an injury, the youthful Wallabies will privately be aware that the Blacks are vulnerable in a way they haven't been in some time.
Graham Henry's charges, piloted by young Aaron Cruden, carry the weight of expectation that needs to be experienced to be fully comprehended. There is the distinct sense of trepidation among the Kiwis, evident in their media coverage and, more pertinently, in the discussions in their coffee shops and pubs.
A nation is holding its breath. The result will determine which of the anti-depressant or beer markets see a dramatic spike in sales.
Time, possession and territory
New Zealand have bossed possession in the first half in their games at the tournament and dominated territory in both halves. Only South Africa had been better in this regard. Expect them to continue this trend against the Wallabies, who defended desperately and heroically for the bulk of the contest against the Springboks last week.
Both sides rank highly for ball-in-play time, and both have thrived when allowed to play 'fast'. Ireland built their pool-phase victory on stifling Australia's ability to do this, while the Blacks haven't really been tested in this regard. In 2011 New Zealand has lost matches to Australia (Brisbane) and South Africa (Port Elizabeth) when not allowed to play as quickly as they would have liked.
The Blacks and Wallabies are ranked first and second respectively in terms of the average number of tries they've scored at the showpiece.
The Wallabies have achieved their try-scoring success playing through an average of 2.9 phases per match and 67 rucks per game (their 2011 average is 84), with New Zealand at 3.1 and 88.
Both have been potent in their opponents' 22m, the Blacks averaging nine linebreaks in that zone, one more than the visitors. Richie's Rockets are, however, better equipped to inflict damage from further out, averaging 10 more broken tackles a game between halfway and the opposition's 22m.
However, in a game that is certain to be tight, the more interestingly study is the accuracy of the goalkickers. Piri Weepu has been an asset, kicking 11/12. Beyond him there is good cover, with Cruden kicking at 79 % (84/106 ) in 2011, and Stephen Donald at 73% (64/88). Wallabies kicker James O'Connor has banked 76% (16 from 21) of his attempts, the most notable of those the penalty that eliminated South Africa in Wellington last week. Cooper is at 50% (4/8) Berrick Barnes 80% (4/5) and Kurtley Beale 0/1.
The Blacks and Wallabies have missed an average of 11 tackles per World Cup Test, the former missing one tackle in every 7.1 attempts, while the latter is at one in 9.3.
To underline just how evenly matched these sides are, they have both been excellent at retaining the ball through phases, with both having the among the best records in terms of lost possessions/turnovers per game. With the breakdown set to be a key facet of play, it is interesting to note that neither side has been particularly vulnerable here, the Blacks averaging 1.8 and Wallabies 2.4 turnovers per match.
Given the threat both pose from turnover ball, a single pilfer from the likes of McCaw or David Pocock could be decisive to the outcome. Australia have had better discipline at ruck time, conceding four penalties on average, but how both teams fare here will lean largely on referee Craig Joubert's management of the breakdown. We'll discuss the South African shortly.
Set pieces
Testament to their preference to keep the ball alive, neither side sets many lineouts. Indeed they rank among the lowest teams in this regard. At scrum time, the Blacks getting penalised more, on average, on the opposition's feed.
The ref
Joubert has been excellent to date, displaying none of the pedantic traits of some of his colleagues on the elite panel, and also certainly not of Bryce Lawrence's laissez faire approach, particularly to managing the breakdown. Statistics reveal that is unlikely to be stricter in one facet of play over another, although he does rank fourth for ruck penalties.
