Men's Basketball Picked Eighth Overall in Preseason Coaches Poll, Fifth in East Division
October 19, 2011
HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Limestone College mens basketball team was voted the top squad in this years preseason poll as voted on by the leagues head coaches. Limestone and Queens tied with five first-place votes each, but the Saints finished four overall points higher than the Royals in the poll. Barton received one first-place vote and claimed the third position. Pfeiffer University was tabbed eighth in the league overall, fifth in the east division.
For the second consecutive year, Limestone College mens basketball has earned the respect of its peers being the top pick in the preseason poll. In 2010-11, Limestone posted one of the best seasons in the programs NCAA DII history as they went 23-7 overall and 14-4 in league play. That included winning 16 of their first 19 games and earning the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship with a thrilling 68-59 victory over Coker College in the championship game. The tournament championship, as well as the NCAA Tournament berth that came with it, were both firsts in the programs history.
Limestone returns All-American candidate Jarrell Douglass along with junior forward Joe Raga and sharp-shooting junior forward Ryan Bogdan. Theyll be joined by standout newcomers Josh Corry and Phillip Moultrie
Queens University of Charlotte finishes second overall and Eastern Division poll favorite as they will look to build off the momentum from their first regular season conference championship and first NCAA Tournament win since 2002-03. Last season, the Royals reeled off 13 consecutive victories from Thanksgiving until the first week of February en route to securing the regular season championship with a 16-2 conference and 21-8 overall record.
In Coach Wes Longs fourth year at the helm, Queens returns four starters and seven additional lettermen. The Royals also get Nate Blackburn back from injury in addition to signing point guard Trey Ervin.
The only loss from last seasons team is a big one. Reggie Hopkins was the teams leading scorer and leading assist man. He graduated as the schools all-time leading scorer.
Barton College is the third overall pick by league coaches in the poll. Sixteenth year head coach Ron Lievense will be guiding an experienced squad that features a veteran cast of 13 letter winners this season. The core group helped the Bulldogs win eight of its last 10 games in 2010-11 to finish the season 18-10 overall and 12-6 in the league. BC was the third seed in the Conference Carolinas Tournament and advanced to the tournament semifinals.
Barton retains three of its top four scorers from a season ago in Gerald Boston, Jaren Haley, and Jarrett Jernigan. Boston a two-time All-Conference honoree led Conference Carolinas with 6.0 assists and 2.7 steals per game. Haley was a Third Team All-Conference selection and is one of nine Bulldogs that played at least 20 games last season.
Coach Lievense has to fill a big void left after the graduation of three-time All-Conference and two-time All-District honoree L.J. Dunn, who led the league in rebounding and averaged a double-double. Barton has added eight talented new players who will be competing for playing time including three Division I transfers.
Rounding out the men's poll 4-11 was: Mount Olive, King, Belmont Abbey, Coker, Pfeiffer, North Greenville, Lees-McRae and Erskine respectively.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Mark Twain just can't stop causing controversy, not even 101 years after his death. From the ruckus about Huckleberry Finn (published 128 years ago), to being tried in the 21st century for his 19th century attitudes, Twain continues to stir things up. Now the question of where Twain camped on Lake Tahoe has inspired the Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City to host the "Mark Twain Tahoe Mystery Public Festivity," featuring two authors with competing theories. The event, which kicks off a summer-long public opinion poll about the two possible sites, will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 21 at the Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City. It is rumored the famous white-suited author himself will be in attendance .
Twain was known as Sam Clemens in his native town of Hannibal, Miss. He moved to the Carson City, Nev. area in the 1860s. Detailed in "Roughing It" and his letters home, Twain's adventures in the region left an indelible impression on him. When Twain and a partner came to Lake Tahoe to stake a timber claim and get rich, he fell in love with the lake. Twain built a campfire that accidentally spread, starting a low-burning forest fire. The exact location of Twain's camp has never been officially determined.
Two authors recently offered competing theories of Twain's Lake Tahoe campsite location. Robert Stewart, in his book "Finding Sam Clemens' Cove at Lake Tahoe, Nevada," pegs a site near Sand Harbor State Park, Nev. David Antonucci, in his book "Fairest Picture," pinpoints a site near Speedboat Beach, on Tahoe's north shore in California. Both offer their reasoning and background information to support their conclusions.
The Gatekeeper's Museum invites the public to play detective, starting with the upcoming event. Maps and books will be available and people are urged to explore the sites and report their findings, which will be posted and tracked at www.northtahoemuseums.org
The event is free for North Lake Tahoe Historical Society members. A $10 donation is suggested for non-members. Participation in the poll is free.
The Gatekeeper's Museum is located in the log cabin next to Fanny Bridge in Tahoe City. The NLTHS preserves and presents Lake Tahoe history, holding it in trust for present and future generations.
The Museum's exhibits and programs excite people about Tahoe history and strengthen the sense of community and place. Memberships start at $30, with student memberships available for $5. The museum is open year round. For more information, visit www.northtahoemuseums.org.

Mountlake Terrace tops Seattle Prep to take fourth place
Hawks' defense leads Terrace to 54-43 win over the Panthers Saturday
They played lock-down defense, which helped spark their offense, limiting Seattle Prep to just 20 points in the second half as Terrace defeated the Panthers 54-43 to claim fourth place in the Class 3A Boys State Basketball Tournament Saturday in the Tacoma Dome.
"It's great for the kids," Mountlake Terrace coach Nalin Sood said. "I feel really positive about this season, whether we won or lost, but I want the kids to feel validated in their work ethic and how much time they've put into things. That win right there is for the seniors."
Seniors Blake Fernandez and Marquis Armstead had 11 points apiece to lead the Hawks, who got to the state tournament for the third straight year. Jesse Zerom, another senior, added seven points and six rebounds.
"No one's going to look at a stat sheet and say, 'What did Jesse do?'" Sood said. "But Jesse was a point guard on a team that went 24-3 and came down (to dome) and won two games at the state tournament."
On defense, the Hawks held Seattle Prep's DJ Fenner, a University of Nevada commit who averages 28 points per game, to nine points. It was a season low for Fenner, who was held scoreless in the first half — for the first time all season — going 0-for-5 from the field.
Armstead specifically requested to guard the Seattle Prep star.
"When it really came down to it, Marquis did an unbelievable job on Fenner," Sood said. "That's a credit to Marquis Armstead. Marquis wanted to go out there and defend him. He wanted to show he could defend the best."
Fenner got a technical foul with 1:48 left in the game, his fifth personal foul, and Fernandez made two free throws before adding two more from a shooting foul committed before the technical. The 4-0 swing gave Mountlake Terrace a 50-40 lead over Seattle Prep (21-10) and all but clinched fourth place for the Hawks, their best finish since placing third in 2005.
"Mountlake Terrace is a great school to coach at," Sood said. "You can see the Mountlake Terrace pride. ... It's a family at Mountlake Terrace for basketball, for the school. I'm just lucky to be a little part of it."

Staff is extremely helpful and compassionate! Business is business but, I was out of work with a back injury and at the same time had to take an emergency trip to Michigan as my wife's Father was in the hospital. As a result, I was late with payment. They contacted me on a couple occasions and were very polite about requesting payment. They understood my situation. With all that was going on, even though they had to lock my unit, we rectified the situation without harassment or creating an uncomfortable situation. I still get a smile and a wave when I enter and leave and I will continue to rent a space at your Whitinsville location!Stan from Whitinsville, MA

Comments about Gramp Lyford's Country Salve Revolving Medicine Center:
I sometimes would have trouble remembering if I took my meds, and now I always know. Daily boxes easily transfer to my purse or pocket. I take a lot of meds, and the small slots can make that a problem except that I only take meds 3 times a day so I can use the other slot for the overflow night meds. The new snaps are a tiny bit difficult to handle, but I am sure that use will deal with that problem, meanwhile they stay securely shut in my purse. All in all, I like it. I don't find it any more difficult to fill than the weekly boxes.

In 2007, at the invitation of Singapore's government, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts Asia opened on a three-acre campus in the central region of Singapore offering four Master of Fine Arts degrees within the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television: Animation and Digital Arts, Dramatic Writing, Film and International Media Producing. Students from across the world have come to study at Tisch Asia, producing work that has been screened and received awards at some of the world's most prestigious film festivals, including Berlin, Cannes and Toronto.
Despite its significant creative success, the Tisch Asia campus failed to become financially sustainable. In 2012, the decision was made to close the campus in summer 2015, thereby allowing all current students to obtain their degrees with a full complement of faculty.
While we are not accepting any more applicants to Tisch Asia, for more information about the campus and its faculty and programs, please visit the Tisch Asia Web site.

I'm a complete noobie to linux, but attempted to install Mint 14 on a laptop with an ATI Radeon x1200 graphics card yesterday. Is there a at-all straightforward way to get graphics to work properly on this card?
The normal version (booted from USB) and any installed-to-HDD version just give me a black screen (usually with the mouse cursor on it). I can get an image if I use the nomodeset arguments, but I'm stuck in 1024x768 resolution. I have also tried (and failed) installing the proprietary driver.
I would have ditched the idea of linux long ago, except that running Mint from Compatibility mode off a USB appears to work perfectly.... This seems to indicate to me that it can, and should, work properly, without too much effort, if I only knew what compatibility mode was doing differently.
I understand this is a common-style question, but I've spent 12 hours reading (and trying answers to) similar questions and got nowhere.
Is there a at-all straightforward way to get graphics to work properly on this card, or should I cut my losses? I currently have a clean install.

Vintage Mitsouko edt, a lovely gift from a smoking hot basenoter. This formulation reminds me of horses nuzzling you on an autumn morning, there is a kind of a hay note, and then there's that that funkiness that hits you in the back of the throat, all wrapped up in a smooth sort of peach fuzz that makes it all alright. Perfection.
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Sampling Muguet Blanc from the VC&A Extraordinaire collection. Starts off with a pretty nice l-o-v note, given that this is an impossible note these days. However, it gives way all too soon to a sweetart accord that some refer to as "peony". Not for me, the green blast is enjoyable in the opening but the "peony" here just makes me crave the far more realistic Pivoine Rose by Ava Luxe.

Daim Blond again(from a rapidly dwindling 8ml sample) - loving it's soft, haughty,
nose-tingling feel.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
Afternoon all. SOTD was AP Strip - and very nice it was too. Although I expect that wasn't the reaction AP were looking for ...
Avignon for me, today.
Have a nice afternoon
"Your fragrance with a fume of iodine" L. Cohen
Lady M, love the photo!!
G, it sounds like you had a fantastic night. I'm going to have to check out the rhubarb scent. I wonder if that might be a good early spring fragrance, for when I start to get a yearning for the smell of growing things but it seems too early for my full-on spring/summer Big White Florals .... That tends to be when I reach for Une Fleur de Cassie... Hmmmm. I sense the need for another sample purchase.
Quarry, love the truck. With those new-fangled options (like shoulder belts and airbags) , I'll bet your insurance goes down, too.
RHM, it sounds like things are progressing nicely. I'm so happy for you!
It's overcast, grey, and chill today. So I happily pulled out the lovely, warming Ambre Russe. I'm so ready for my autumn/winter fragrance line-up. Woo hoo!
Good morning- first post!
I'm starting my day in Tokyo Milk's Le Petit. Snuggly violet and vanilla for a sweater dress kind of day.
Everyone's so classy today! I'm greeting this fall day with something funky and even a bit adolescent, Ralph Hot, a "breakfast gourmand" that does go really well with a hot cuppa joe. Good day, all!
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Caliber 12 by Jeanne Arthes
I just have to say I LOVE that picture of Anita Eckberg! LOL I'm a man and due to my interest in some femme fragrances I'm wearing Shalimar EDP for the first time and I can't keep my wrist away from my nose!
Welcome, Katesonskates! Welcome, I say!
Hey, Extreme, if you wanna smell rhubarb, gimme your addy and I'll send you a samp of L'Artisan's D'humeur Jalouse, which is a real novelty.
RHM, what kind of work are you shadowing, if you don't mind telling us? Today our daughter is shadowing a professional organizer who's dealing with a hoarder. I expect to hear interesting observations when she gets home.
The Las Vegas BN meet-up has me feeling the magnetism that is you people. Magnetic hugs al-l-l-l-l-l around
From my regular rotation: Jaisalmer -- gees, how I love this. Not a note to shy away from anywhere in its development. Comforting, but not so boringly mellow as to put a person to sleep.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
DK Gold edp for me today. Love to everybody.
Good Evening,
Hello to katesonskates and southerngardens
Since Larimar officially declared it 'a Jicky Day', I've done my duty and spritzed some extrait tonight.
Be well, everyone.
Mauboussin Histoire d'Eau today. Thinking of getting M Generation as a blind buy, I wonder if a woman could pull it off? hmmm
........................................L´Occitane ~ Eau Du Contadour
Roja Dove Diagalev this am into the afternoon.
Good Morning, all.
Welcome, kateonskates!
southerngardens, if it smells good, wear it. And Shalimar edp smells more than good!
Chanel 31 Rue Cambon today.
Welcome, kateonskates! Adorable username!
Welcome to you, too, southerngardens! I understand what you are going through- the same happened to me when I first sniffed Shalimar as a young girl. Still sniff myself constantly while wearing it to this day! Makes a great masculine, as mikeperez and many other BN men will attest. Enjoy your wrist-sniffin'!
Have moved on to a sample of Miss Balmain. Waaay more "me" than my earlier sample!
The nose wants what it wants!
Azuree last night that lasted past the morning shower. I love that crazy thing's drydown! What unexpected softness after that long toughie opening.
This afternoon it's Fendi Palazzo -- Tuesday situations require a somewhat subdued, easily pleasant fragrance, but I wanted to be autumnal and patchouli louche too.
- - - Updated - - -
I am sort of laughing at how probably few to no one else thinks of Azuree as having a soft drydown. I just do one spray! And also, Palazzo autumnal? The evocation of oranges and browns and Halloween candy was the thought. Oh perfume descriptions and their stupefying subjectivity!
Hi, Kateonskates and Southerngardens!!
Welcome katesonskates and southerngardens
G, I'm with you on Xerjoff Irisss - absolutely stunning. Unfortunately so is the price. Oh, for that lottery win .....
Going with another Iris for the evening. VC&A Bois d'Iris.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Welcome katesonskates and southerngardens! Nice to see you. Nice first posts too!
Ramon Monegal Umbra for the rest of the evening.
I am safe and sound, everything went well at the demonstration today, except of course that nothing is going to change...
I was wearing the soapy

I'm wearing Helmut Lang EDP today.
hugs to all ... (is it the weekend yet???)
I've trademarked the color bleu
Just came back from the BN meetup in Vegas.
Wow, I am completely overwhelmed by smells, sounds, moving machines, cigarette smoke and neon lights. This was my first time in Vegas, I would never go except for the BNers -- and the sniffing and meeting was fabulous. I thought of Quarry.
And Al Gae and I were thinking of PerfumedLady and talking about her -- did your ears burn?
And yours, TWolf -- Redneck Perfumisto and I were saying hey to you virtually.
Anyway, two ambers for me today -- VV Ambra Mediterranea and Mitza by Dior. How could I not know this stuff before? from a dab Mitza was adorable. I crave more! more Mitza!

NEWPORT NEWS -- Thieves are targeting large, top-of-the-line appliances in recently renovated houses in the Denbigh area of Newport News.
Police say since mid-october, there have been more than a dozen reports of people stealing appliances from vacant homes.
'It could be anybody, it could be somebody sitting at home saying this house just got flipped I can go steal their appliances. It could be workers in there trying to make a little bit of extra money during the holiday. It could a combination of those things,' said Detective Thomas Lenoir.
Police say residents s hould be suspicious any time they see appliances delivered one day, and being removed a day or so later, especially if it happens at night.

Indie Next List
The Flight of Gemma Hardy LP
The Flight of Gemma Hardy LP (Paperback)
Indie Next ListFebruary 2012
There is nothing like a good visit with old friends, and that is what it's like to savor this novel. Even better, really, since in this retelling of Jane Eyre the characters are imbued with a more modern sensibility -- and this time around Mr. Rochester is not a reprehensible misogynist! Livesey's Gemma remains true to the spirit of Jane, and the dark settings of Scotland and the Orkney Islands are as atmospheric as they come. This is the perfect book to curl up with for a weekend with a pot o' tea -- or perhaps a wee dram of something stronger. -- Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
Fate has not been kind to Gemma Hardy. Orphaned by the age of ten, neglected by a bitter and cruel aunt, sent to a boarding school where she is both servant and student, young Gemma seems destined for a life of hardship and loneliness. Yet her bright spirit burns strong. Fiercely intelligent, singularly determined, Gemma overcomes each challenge and setback, growing stronger and more certain of her path. Now an independent young woman with dreams of the future, she accepts a position as an au pair on the remote and beautiful Orkney Islands.
But Gemma's biggest trial is about to begin . . . a journey of passion and betrayal that will lead her to a life she's never dreamed of.
About the Author
Margot Livesey's acclaimed novels include The House on Fortune Street (winner of the L. L. Winship/PEN New England Award) and Eva Moves the Furniture. She lives in the Boston area and is a Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at Emerson College.
Praise for The Flight of Gemma Hardy LP…
"A delight....Livesey is a lovely, fluid writer."
-Sarah Towers, New York Times Book Review
"A cunning adaptation."
-Liza Nelson, O, the Oprah Magazine
"Absorbing….Ms. Livesey writes lovely, understated prose…[her] treks through the novel's pleasing natural landscapes…are almost as engaging as her navigation of Gemma's restless psyche."
-Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal
"Livesey delivers a suspenseful, curl-up-by-the-fire romance with a willfully determined protagonist who's worthy of her literary role model."
"Jane Eyre gets a terrific modern makeover….Livesey works some sort of magic in The Flight of Gemma Hardy, which is too entertaining to be superfluous, too wise in its understanding of human nature to be a mere retread."
-Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
"Livesey has pulled off the near-impossible task that the homage begs an author to do: create an original, fresh work that shines in its own light, while bringing an established, esteemed work to the attention of new readers, and showing off previously unseen facets to its fans…."
-Meredith Maran, Boston Globe
"Livesey follows Brontë's form, but so convincingly does she create her own character's life and surroundings that the original soon recedes, its story a beloved, familiar body dressed in an entirely new and vibrant wardrobe."
-Atlantic Monthly
"Marvelous....Gemma Hardy is one of those page turners in which you occasionally have to wrest yourself away from the plot to admire the language."
-Kristin Ohlson, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A brilliantly paced contemporary adventure about a headstrong orphan's struggle to claim a place for her generous heart in a secret-laden, sometimes loveless world."
-Lisa Shea, Elle
"Inspired by Jane Eyre, Livesey (The House on Fortune Street) offers vibrant prose and a feisty heroine in her fascinating sixth novel…. Captivating and moving, this book is a wonderful addition to Livesey's body of work."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The portrait of a delicate, iron-willed girl, an orphan and a heroine in the grand tradition…. Here as in all of Livesey's novels, the real treasure is her gift for exploring the unreduced human psyche with all its radiant contradictions, mercurial insights, and desperate generosities."
-David Wroblewski, author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
"In this modern day retelling of Jane Eyre - trade horses for private jets - novelist Margot Livesey pays homage to Brontë's literary classic."
-Marie Claire, "Four New Page-Turners to Keep Bedside"

Hebron entered into tonight's football game 5-0 and played host to Central Academy from Macon, Mississippi.
Coach Foster mercifully did not play his starters against a definitely weak Central Academy who had earlier in the week threatened to forfeit the game. The Eagles, though slow to start the game, finished strong in the second half winning 30-0.
Offensively, the Eagles had many ups and downs, but the offense got the ball rolling in the second half. Hebron Christian's offense was led by Channing Tapley (9 carries for 50 yards rushing), Collin Moore (12 carries for 99 yards), and Andrew Myatt (10 carries for 40 yards). Moore had two rushing touchdowns and Myatt supplied another touchdown on the ground as well.
Hebron was able to keep the Central Academy Vikings out of the end zone and recorded their first shut out of the season. The second defense kept the same standard of the usual defense and held strong throughout the whole game. The defense was led by Tapley, (14 tackles), Jessie Moore (13 tackles and 1 sack), Collin Moore (8 tackles and 1 interception), and Troy Arnold (7 tackles and 1 sack). Myatt also had a 24 yard interception return touchdown in the second quarter.
"We didn't meet our expectations in the first half," said Collin Moore after the win, "But we came out in the second half, hit harder, ran harder, and just played a better ball game."
The first quarter was very uncharacteristic for Hebron as they were unable to produce any offense. Also, the Eagles caught the turnover bug in their first drive of the game as Myatt fumbled the football turning it over to Central Academy. The Vikings took a seven minute drive into Hebron Christian territory but were unable to convert on fourth down giving the ball back to the Eagles. Once again, Hebron could not start the offense up on a second drive three and out, leading to the end of the first quarter with Hebron and Central Academy deadlocked.
Central Academy started the second quarter with the ball in their possession but never accomplished much as they had a hard time taking snaps from under center. Finally Hebron found the right formula for success on offense as Myatt scampered into the end zone from 24 yards out giving Hebron the lead. A Tapley two-point conversion brought the score to 8-0 with 7:33 left in the first half. Once again Hebron and Central Academy could not get much going during the middle of the second quarter. But another breakthrough came when Myatt intercepted a Central Academy pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown. The ensuing two-point conversion was not successful and Hebron entered into halftime leading the Vikings 14-0.
Central Academy began the second half with continued sporadic offense success though taking four minutes off the clock in the third quarter. Hebron also was unable to get a successful drive in during the third quarter.
Later in the fourth quarter, Collin Moore broke away from the pack of Viking tacklers and ran into the end zone from 30 yards out. The two-point conversion was run in by Myatt bringing the score to 22-0 with 8:18 left in the game. Hebron finished their last drive of the game with an exclamation mark as Collin Moore once again broke away with 51 seconds left in the game and a Tapley two-point conversion finalized the victory for Hebron at 30-0.
"I was confidence with how our defense played," said Coach David Foster, "my offense, though without my Seniors, came out from halftime and we did a better job blocking and not turning the ball over."
This win over Central Academy of Macon, MS has brought the Eagles to six wins on the season. The Eagles continue to show dominance on the defensive side of the ball and have the capability of moving the ball on offense. Hebron Christian plays host in a major test as Kemper Academy travels to Pheba next Friday, September 28. "Kemper is always a good football team," said Coach Foster, "we are going to polish things up this week, and bring our A-game next Friday."

A New River Marine was taken into custody this past week while NCIS agents seized hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of government property from his Rock Creek home.
Gunnery Sgt. William Carpio was being held in pretrial confinement Friday, base officials confirmed.
He was taken into custody Wednesday. His house on
Carpio has not been formally charged, said 1st Lt. Robert Martins, communications director at Marine Corps Air Station New River.
Members of the military are not charged with a crime until an Article 32 hearing. The procedure — similar to a civilian grand jury — draws its name from the section that mandates such a hearing in the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice.
NCIS agents told curious neighbors Wednesday that Carpio was safe. A woman and two children arrived at the home while agents were carrying out their search of the two-story house. A neighbor took the children to her house while the woman was interviewed inside the Carpio home by female NCIS agents.
Agents and deputies continued throughout the night to catalog and seize items that filled up two government pickup trucks. Among the items seen taken from Carpio's garage and attic were unopened manufacturer boxes marked as containing Samsung 32-inch flat screen televisions; Dell desktop computers; DeWalt power tools including drills, saws and sanders; Pelican cases; Snap-on tools, Sony electronics; 3M products; and large furniture pieces.
The estimated haul of stolen items is around $1 million, according to agents and deputies overhead discussing the situation at the scene.
The case was the result of two months of investigative work, said Joe Kennedy, special agent-in-charge of the Carolinas Field Office when asked about the situation Friday.
"This is an ongoing case that may involve other people and I can't comment," he said.
Kennedy would not say whether the case is tied to a string of arrests last year aboard

Hi friends,
As some of you may know, in general I don't hold our country's voting methods in very high regard. Think about the way we vote for president, for instance. Aside from not asking voters to state any preferences at all, it's difficult to do worse than our current system: we can only show our support for a single candidate, when in fact our preferences may be more nuanced. Moreover, since we can only vote for a single candidate, there's little incentive to vote for our favorite one, unless our favorite happens to be a front-runner. This is known all across the universe, as evidenced by the Presidential runs of Kang and Kodos:
Even worse, a third party candidate who garners a decent amount of support may end up hurting his own party and parties more closely aligned to it by acting . . . → Read More: Down with Plurality!

LOS ANGELES – They talked about it, teacher and player, as the Northern Trust Open moved into the weekend and John Merrick was still around.
"How tough can you be? How patient can you be? How comfortable can you be?" Jamie Mulligan asked him.
It also came down to how smart.
The second hole of Merrick's playoff with Charlie Beljan was the 10th. That's the 310-yard par-4, the little coral snake that looks so innocent and plays so lethal.
Merrick, from Long Beach and UCLA, has played No. 10 enough to ignore the siren song. He tossed a nice 3-iron into the fairway and left himself a full lob wedge into the sausage-shaped green.
Beljan, who had fired up the crowd on 18 with his birdie celebration in regulation, weighed his decision. When he pulled out the driver, the DUI candidates who stood around the first tee cheered.
Yeah! Go for it! Let the big dog eat!
Beljan then walloped his tee shot deep left, behind the green, and basically into the mortuary.
Merrick played the percentages and left himself a 20-foot birdie. Beljan's second shot didn't make it to the green, and he chipped to 6 very curvy feet.
Merrick two-putted. He and caddie Ryan Goble began thinking about the next hole, the 14th, a par-3. He was going to use a 5-iron there and was contemplating the wind and the ball flight ...
And then Beljan missed.
Merrick and Goble hugged for a long time. Merrick's wife, Jody, was next. Mulligan and Merrick's father, Charlie, were there, too.
How emotional? Well, it was the first time the 10th green got watered all week.
"His goods have been good for a long time," Mulligan said, his voice catching. "He's a great ball-striker, he's got a beautiful stroke. He's been a slow climber, always under the radar. But he played well last week at another iconic place (Pebble Beach, finishing 16th with a Sunday 68) and he kept that momentum going."
Merrick, 30, thus won his first PGA Tour event.
Here, he was one of three players to break par-71 every day, and came into Sunday trailing Bill Haas by three.
Merrick bobbed and weaved through Sunday's front nine, and Haas suffered a hallucinogenic, 5-over-par, seven-hole stretch to invite everyone into contention, including heavyweights like Webb Simpson, Luke Donald and Charl Schwartzel.
Merrick was one of two contenders (with Schwartzel) to birdie No. 10, on a sharp-breaking 13-footer.
When he birdied the par-5 11th, he was suddenly two strokes ahead of everyone, seven holes to go, the golf world watching.
What's the game plan for that?

Vol. 03 , No. 05
Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Remembrance
The Athenaeum begins the second semester with a dinner commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King is one of four persons who has a U.S. national holiday named in his memory (the others being Christopher Columbus, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln), and so it is appropriate that we host a dinner honoring Dr. King's contribution to America.
The evening will feature two close friends of King's, John David Maguire, president of Claremont University Center and Graduate School, and Cornish Rogers, professor of pastoral theology and director of Urban Ministries Center, School of Theology at Claremont. Both men knew King as classmates; and President Maguire was a member of the original Freedom Ride in 1961. Maguire was also the first chairman of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Center for Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia.
The 6:00 p.m. dinner begins with a reception at 5:30 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. a half-hour documentary, "I Have a Dream," will be shown; this will be followed by a discussion between Dr. Maguire and Dr. Rogers, and will also include time to ask questions of them. Please join us and learn more about a great American leader who was murdered during the year that shaped a generation-1968.
A New Birth of Freedom: The Civil War and the Bicentennial of the Constitution
Continuing, the Athenaeum's Constitution series this semester is Professor Harry Jaffa who will speak on "A New Birth of Freedom: The Civil War and the Bicentennial of the Constitution." Jaffa has been the Henry Salvatori Research Professor of Political Philosophy since 1971 and has received fellowships from the Ford, Rockefeller, Guggenheim, and Earhart Foundations. His presentation follows a 5:30 reception and dinner and begins at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 27.
Clam Bake
Come join us on Thursday, January 28, as we celebrate the new year with a good old-fashioned clam bake. The evening's repast will include our Chef Robert's fabulous steamed clams, crab legs, and other seafoods, a chowder, and complementary side dishes. If you are a seafood connoisseur, this evening promises to be one of gastronomical delight. Sign up soon and arrive promptly for this feast that begins at 6:00 p.m.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1988 11:00 a.m.
The Athenaeum's traditional Sunday brunch continues this semester with the first brunch being served on Sunday, January 31, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The highly popular brunches each sold out last semester, so early reservations are advised. The brunch is open to CMC-associated individuals (and one guest) only. Reservations are required for all persons attending the brunch, including guests.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1988 12:00 p.m.
Does your mouth begin to water at the thought of a rendezvous in the recherche Athenaeum rapping about rhetoric over a serving of ratatouille? Join the WordsWorth Society and bring a word to lunch! Share its origin, its meaning, or some unusual story about it, and learn other interesting etymological facts in return. The first lunch of the semester is on February 2. Students and faculty are welcome.
The Nature of Cancer
Dr. Theodore Puck a pioneer in the fields of genetics and biochemistry, speaks on "The Nature of Cancer" at the Athenaeum on Tuesday, February 2, at 7:00 p.m.
Puck's research has been instrumental in reassessing the effects of radiation and experimental toxins on human cells. The effects of toxicity have been commonly measured by tests using bacteria, but, generally, bacteria are less sensitive than human cells to toxicity. Puck's studies have made it possible for human cells, instead of bacteria, to be used in such tests for the effects of toxicity. In addition, his system can now be used to measure the effects of protective influences of possible anti-cancer agents.
The Joint Science Department sponsors the visit of this history-making man. Puck, who received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from the University of Chicago, is currently the head of the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute for Cancer Research in Denver. Preceding his lecture, the Athenaeum hosts a 5:30 p.m. reception and dinner. Students interested in attending are encouraged to use the reservation coupons in this issue to sign up for the event.
Political Cartoons: A Visual Commentary
Paul Conrad is a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate, and one of only five people to have received this prestigious award three times. Conrad has been the chief editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times since 1964, and his political commentary appears in hundreds of papers nationwide.
In his introduction to Pro and Conrad (1979), one of the artist's four books, Art Buchwald said, "Conrad's name strikes fear in the evil hearts of men all over the world. Wherever there is corruption, greed or hypocrisy, everyone says, 'This is a job for Conrad'."
Don't miss Paul Conrad's presentation at the Athenaeum on Thursday, February 4, a continuation of our Constitution series focusing on current political issues. His presentation, to be preceded by a 5:30 p.m. reception and dinner, includes a slide show of his most controversial cartoons in conjunction with a running commentary that is humorous and informative.
Evening in Vienna
MICHAEL DEANE LAMKIN, conductor, Claremont Chamber Orchestra

The Claremont Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Michael Deane Lamkin, will play the music of Johann Strauss, Jr.; there will be an opportunity to learn to waltz and polka; the dinner will feature specialties from Vienna, as well as elegant desserts and coffees.
The cost for CMC-associated persons (CMC students, faculty, and staff) is $5.00 per person and $5.00 for one guest. Join us for a delicious and enjoyable Evening in Vienna beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Who's Going to Win in '88: Will Economics Decide the Election?
JOHN J. PITNEY JR., moderator
Which economic issues will make a difference in this year's primaries and general election? Which candidates are talking economic sense, and which ones aren't? Whose campaigns are sleepers that may sneak up on the candidates? Do voters really care about economic issues? These are some of the issues that, six Phi Betta Kappa faculty members will tackle in this panel discussion that falls after the New Hampshire primary and before the South's "Super Tuesday." The topic is hot, and so are the panel members: Gordon Bjork, Ross Eckert, Rod Smith, Dick Sweeney, and Tom Willett, all from the CMC economics department. The audience is also invited to comment and respond. To hold the economists and the audience in line, Jack Pitney from CMC's government department will moderate as well as give a wrap-up of the issues and the views.
A wine and cheese reception will be served at 5:30 p.m., with dinner starting, at 6:00 p.m. The discussion will be held following dinner.
Aftenoon Tea. Tea and sweets will again be served on weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to stop by the Athenaeum.'s library to enjoy some conversation as well as some of Jackie's homemade treats.
Wednesday Lunch. Every Wednesday at noon, lunch is served in one of the Athenaeum's dining rooms, which is set aside especially for students and faculty who wish to share a meal and engage in conversation. Because of the popularity of this event, we ask that people attending the open forum lunch do not save seats for others.
Elie Wiesel, Patricia Schroeder, Allan Bloom, the Reverend Leon Sullivan, and you-the Athenaeum features all of the above as a part of this semester's diverse program.
Toward the second half of the semester, the Athenaeum plans to sponsor a special dinner and program, "Celebrating the Arts," showcasing the musical and artistic talents of CMC students. Any CMC students who play an instrument or sing, and are interested in performing during this special event, should contact the Athenaeum and/or myself (Appleby 102, 621-1218) or Stephanie Lum (Fawcett 701, x3587) as soon as possible. Since we would also like to replace the Athenaeum's painting with the artworks of our students for the evening, any of you who would like your artful creations displayed should also contact us soon. We are confident that the all-too-often hidden aesthetic talent of Claremont McKenna College students will emerge to make this a truly memorable event.

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Jetty includes a servlet implementation of bayuex protocol of cometd from the Dojo Foundation|http://dojotoolkit.org/foundation/].
Cometd is a message bus for Ajax web applications that allows multi channel messaging between client and server - and more importantly - between server and client. The paradigm is publish/subscribe to named channels.
To run the demo:
and point your browser at http://localhost:8080. There is the usual comet chat room demo, a fridge magnet demo
and a combined demo with both magnets and chat room. The later is interesting as the chat room is implemented with prototype and behaviour and the magnets are implemented with dojo and the collaborate to use the same messaging infrastructure - thus avoiding the 2 connection limit to the server.
The jetty implementation has extra features beyond the protocol:
- A declaritive filter/security mechanism
- detection for multi-window

About Our Citrus
Add a little zest to your garden! Citrus trees are potted, evergreen, semi-dwarf, 1 ½-years-old, pencil caliper, 18"-24" tall measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the tree. They will, with good care, produce fragrant, self-pollinating flowers and wonderful fruit. Mature height is 8'–12', but can be pruned to suit in ground or in containers.
Choose a sunny location, in well drained soil, sheltered from wind. They are affected by freezing temperatures, and in many locales require frost protection.
These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not. Non-taxable.

It is important to know whether a patient or an immediate family member has military service. You know that your patients at VA have had military service. It is also important to ask your patients outside of VA "Have you or a loved one served in the military?"
Asking Veterans these questions will provide you with information helpful in understanding patients' medical problems and concerns, and in establishing rapport and therapeutic partnerships with military service members and Veterans. Answers may also provide a basis for timely referral to specialized medical resources.
Unique Health Risks for Each Era of Military Service
If your patient answers "Yes" to any of the following, ask:
"Can you tell me more about that?"
("Call VBA at 1-800-827-1000")
? Sexual Harassment, Assault and Trauma
Would it be okay if I asked about some things you may have been exposed to during your service?
? Blood Borne Viruses (Hepatitis and HIV...)
? Stress Reactions / Adjustment Problems

In an op-ed piece for the online edition of The Guardian, AAA Executive Board member Mary Gray writes about the experience of LGBT youth in rural areas.
Drawing on her own research, Gray suggests that "[t] he binaries of closeted/visible, rural/urban and online/offline should be questioned as they converge through media to privilege, and morally rank certain strategies of "being out" over others."

Can East Meet West at Interior?
Friday - 1/25/2013, 2:00am EST
It may be that the only thing standing between Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry and the top job at the Interior Department is the Mississippi River curse!
Some say the only thing holding him back is that he was born in Rockville, Md., 53 years ago. If, instead, he hailed from Cody, Wyo. or Santa Fe, N.M., his nomination would be a no-brainer.
For the past few weeks, the buzz in Washington is that Berry, who had a top job at Interior during the Clinton administration would be named to succeed Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, himself from Colorado. Berry has gotten high marks in running the little-known (outside of Washington) Office of Personnel Management. It's core mission involves the care and feeding of federal workers and retirees. It doesn't rank near the top of places that most high-office wannabes want to be. Unless...
- A) They dislike and mistrust big government, and feel that the civil service is a giant socialist nursery that should be isolated and cut back in size. There have been a couple of OPM directors that took the job because they welcomed the challenge of wrestling the bureaucratic beast.
- B) They've spent years studying management and policies at the government-level and see the federal civil service as a giant lab or petri dish. There have been a couple of those too.
- C) They are someone with good political credentials who's been a loyal operative for and donor to the party in power. This type of office-seeker simply wants to come to D.C. with a high-ranking government job with a title. One that guarantees invitations to places with free food. The initials or mission of the agency matter little. Feds have had them too.
- D) Finally there is the true believer. Someone who didn't have to look up the definition for OPM. They think the government has the right and duty to do things for people. This type of person knows/likes federal workers. He or she has the been-there-done-that credentials and believes that better people make a better government. In other words, you are John Berry.
When he left Capitol Hill, Berry went to the Treasury Department then Interior. He eventually got what many people say is the best job in Washington: director of the National Zoo. He reportedly loved it, reorganized the place and — after he left for OPM — the staff named a lion cub after him. Associates say that when Barack Obama was elected president, Berry was offered a couple of second-tier jobs, but held out because he wanted to be the head of an agency.
OPM was the logical top job. Interior would be too, insiders say, except he is an East Coast guy and secretary of the Interior is traditionally a westerner. In modern times, most secretaries have come from Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming. The closest appointees from the "east" came from Kansas or Illinois. A Kentucky-born Maryland resident was named secretary, but it helped, immensely as in a lot, that his brother was a powerful U.S. senator. One Virginia resident got the job in the last century. But it turns out he had grown up in Oregon and was appointed from that state.
For a look at Berry's geographical odds, click here.

I find it very odd that it is acceptable to criticize and disparage Christianity and Islam but it is racism/anti-Semitism to criticize Judaism. Personally I do not recognize the race/ethnicity that most people call "Jewish." For that matter I ignore all of the human created boundaries that we call race and ethnicity. If all of our genetic codes were dropped in a bin and drawn at random it would be virtually impossible to tell what "race" or "ethnicity" to which a particular person belongs. Even when considered as "groups" the differences are probabilistic and not in any way deterministic. Therefore I do not believe that criticizing Judaism as a religion has any bearing on someone's bogus claim to be somehow genetically different from other Homo sapiens.
Even if "Jew" was a valid "racial" category, Judaism as a religion in no way defines or applies to all of the people that our warped and archaic tribal system assigns the term "Jew." Being "Jewish" racially/ethnically, whatever the hell that means, has no relationship to Judaism which is based on the genocidal fiction called the Torah. Criticizing the Torah and Judaism cannot be anti-Semitism because a faith and a "race/ethnicity" are very different things.
Additionally, true "anti-Semites" and those who claim to be "Jewish" racially/genetically are deluding themselves. Those of the Jewish faith who are purely "Semitic" by genealogy are few and far between. Those placed in the "Jewish" bin have varied and rich ancestries that can be traced to various regions in Eastern Europe and many "Jewish" peoples' ancestors never lived in Canaan in the distant past. As mentioned above the genetic record also renders "anti-Semitism" or pro "Jewish" as meaningless and ill-founded divisions. Will I respect peoples' cultures which incidentally have morphed markedly over the millennia; yes. Will I respect the demand that I respect a religion just because someone is going to use the ad hominem attack of labeling me, incorrectly no less, an anti-Semite; no. When someone needs to resort to an ad hominem attack they are indicating that they are holding a position devoid of logical support. Do not attack me, point out what is wrong with my position. As soon as someone pulls out the "anti-Semite" card they just lost the argument.
