The Grass is Never Greener on the Other Side.
I came across this "short" tutorial while looking at some content to publish about 'Safer Internet Day 2012' I'm not sure whether you have managed to glance through it all, but if I was a PC first-footer, this would frighten me half to death. I mean - it's astounding what PC users face daily, just to have safe passage on the World-Wide-Web.
Secure your PC by easy to follow steps:
A blog about a series of Tutorials who will show you how to secure your PC and to understand it…This blog explains you what needs to be installed on your PC to make it secure on a maximum…
This blog was actually a knol created on July 14, 2010 and migrated to WordPress on January 05, 2012.Authors Gust MEES Original URL: http://knol.google.com/k/-/-/vdujwtjyx3uq/170
This blog was made in 'urgence' because some friends have some problems with security and I want to share this knowledge also with you my readers…
The author is "Member of the Advisory Board" from "Luxembourg Safer Internet" (LuSI), BEE-SECURE, Official Partner (Consultant) from the Ministry of Education in Luxembourg, project "MySecureIT", Official Partner from the Ministry of Commerce in Luxembourg, project "CASES" (Cyberworld Awareness and Security Enhancement Structure).

What Is The Minimum Required To Secure Your PC?
As probably most of PC users know, a PC needs an antivirus and a firewall, that is the strict minimum. But that is not all, Windows updates must be done also and some updates which most of users don't know, ALL installed programs on the PC must be updated!!!
Why are the updates relevant to security may you ask?
In ALL programs are discovered vulnerabilities, so when discovered by their manufacturer there will be a new update released. Those updates are necessary to install as they close the security holes in the programs. Because of those security holes a PC could get remotely controlled over Internet.
The most known vulnerable programs are: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Flash Player, Java, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, ITunes…
Do you have installed the latest Java on your PC? Check here: Verify Java.
Advice: Chose an other firewall than the Windows firewall, best is to buy an Internet Security Suite, which contains an antivirus, a firewall, an anti spyware, an anti rootkit… I recommend "Norton Internet Security" which I use since years on my working place and as well at home. This Security Suite is easy to handle, the most important for a user, you don't remark even that it is existing on your PC…
To make sure that ALL your installed programs on your PC are every time updated, use Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI). Once installed on your PC it checks automatically for all updates of your installed software and installs them, very easy procedure.
The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Attacks exploiting vulnerable programs and plug-ins are rarely blocked by traditional anti-virus and are therefore increasingly "popular" among criminals.
The only solution to block these kind of attacks is to apply security updates, commonly referred to as patches. Patches are offered free-of-charge by most software vendors, however, finding all these patches is a tedious and time consuming task. Secunia PSI automates this and alerts you when your programs and plug-ins require updating to stay secure.
The figure shows the scan of a new laptop (mine), as you may discover yourself the laptop even as a brand new one doesn't have installed all he updates and would be vulnerable if not updated… It is only secure by 95%.
After a couple of minutes PSI has already downloaded one program and started the download of a second program, the progress is now already 97%.
Once all the downloads made the dashboard shows 100%…
Scan Result after 6 weeks running PSI.

Protecting Your Facebook Account, How Secure Are Your Settings???
Recently (Feb, 2011) BITDEFENDER launched a new Beta program, here is the text and screenshots from it:
Posts on your wall, comments from friends, Inbox messages: sharing's the name, having fun is the game. Well, at least until an infected link or a ton of spam steps in to spoil it.
Using in-the-cloud scanning, BitDefender safego keeps your social networking account safe so that you and your PC don't get into e-trouble. An efficient BitDefender spam repellent also helps keep your message flow free from this kind of blah-blah.
And that's not all. With BitDefender safego you get a privacy rating that tells you whether you're an easy prey on the personal data theft front as well.
and here below how it looks in practice…
As shown in image below SAFEGO shows you the infected links on the right-hand side and provides you also a red icon. By clicking this "red icon" a new window opens with an alert message and a button. When clicking this button you could send a message to your friend who's link is infected to alert him…
WOT goes social – Preview the beta version now!
Wed 16 Mar 2011 09:00:35 AM UTC — annaleena
Social networking - on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere – is a big part of what people are doing daily on the internet. Social media allows messages to spread far and fast and become popular, even viral. When the messages come from someone that you know and trust, it's often perceived as safe. Put these factors together, and you've got a very tempting target for scammers and hackers. Typically, a scammer takes over an account and uses it to spread links which are contaminated, lead to phishing or malicious sites, or intend to capture more accounts.
Wouldn't it be great to know, from the very first glimpse, if the links your Facebook friends are sending you can be trusted?
As you see here, soon there will be a new version of WOT released, stay tuned and download it when available…
Update (23.03.2011): it works now, here below a screenshot…
How Does It Happen - An Infection Of The PC?
As already mentioned above, the "Drive by Download" is on the mood and it is the most dangerous way to get the PC infected. "Drive by Download" means, your PC will get infected while visiting a web site. And that could be any web site, even web sites from government and/or Newspapers… Even if you have installed an antivirus and a firewall your PC could get infected, because of the security holes in installed programs on your hard disk when they are not updated…
How is this possible?
Not every webmaster (people who take care of that web site and/or are creating that web site) has the necessary security knowledge, nor does the owner of that web site wanting to spend more money for security awareness…
Against of what most people think, a PC can also getting infected when not connected to the Internet. Any storage medium (CD, DVD, Memory Cards, Flash cards, USB Stick, USB drives&hellip who is infected can infect a PC while using it on the PC.
What Else To Install On The PC For A Better Protection?
I recommend to install also the following programs:
Have also a look here on my French Knol and use translation tools:
ThreatFire™ AntiVirus protects when others can't
PCs are under constant attack from viruses, spyware and identity theft. Every day you hear about a new threat to your PC. They're coming faster than ever before, they're getting harder to stop and traditional antivirus products are not able to keep up.
Will your antivirus software catch the latest malware that just came out today? In most cases, no, because it simply does not know how to detect it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products. See the table below.
What Else Do I need To Do?
While surfing on Internet you could find an infected web site which would also infect your computer when visiting it, these web sites could also bee web sites from Governments and other serious companies, nobody is perfect! How can I know if a website is infected and/or a trustful site? Use WOT (Web Of Trust), it is shown below with download link…
WOT is also available as an extension for your browsers:
Other similar products are:
McAfee SiteAdvisor™ software
McAfee SiteAdvisor™, software is an award-winning, free browser plug-in that gives safety advice about Websites before you click on a risky site. These site ratings are based on tests conducted by McAfee using an army of computers that look for all kinds of threats (detailed below). The result is a guide to Web safety. The SiteAdvisor software is free, easy to install and even easier to use. And it doesn't collect any personally identifiable information.
TrendProtect is a FREE browser plug-in that helps you avoid Web pages with unwanted content and hidden threats. TrendProtect rates the current page and pages listed in Google, MSN, and Yahoo search results. You can use the rating to decide if you want to visit or avoid a given Web page. To rate Web pages, TrendProtect refers to an extensive database that covers the following information for billions of Web pages:

Be Aware of Public Wi-Fi!!!
Protect yourself on public Wi-Fi: ALL your data could get seen when not taken the right precautions on an public Wi-Fi Access…
First of all, check out to know more about how easy it is to get information about your online communications (passwords and private information&hellip as also on how easy it is to hijack your accounts while using a public Wi-Fi!!! Follow this BBC investigation and be surprised Why personal data is at risk on unsecured public wi-fi!!!
Lessons to learn: coming soon, stay tuned…
As learned already now by the shown videos above, you will certainly know how to protect you against it? OK, what should we know???
- A public, non secured Wi-Fi Access can intercept all of our internet traffic…
- With special programs (even Freeware programs like FireSheep) it is possible that a third person could break in our PC and MAC and steal our PWs (pass words) and log-ins and also so sending messages with our identity!!! Not really funny isn't???
So how can we protect us again those threats (MAC and Windows and Linux)???
By using a public Wi-Fi Access, called also HotSpot it is recommended to use a private network (VPN) between your laptop or iPhone and our Internet gateway.
Such a good and FREE and also for MAC users FREE program is "Hotspot Shield":
Get behind the SHIELD! 100% FREE!

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With a traditional looking design, the latest addition to Panasonic's Lumix CSC range the GM1 is, arguably, the firm's slickest camera yet. It has the same 16-Mpix-resolution sensor as the larger, rangefinder-style GX7, and although housed in a tiny aluminum shell it features a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, plenty of manual control and an electronic shutter capable of 1/16000th max shutter speed and 40fps burst. Read on to find out how this super-compact model performs.
Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a '5-axis' stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
Samsung is one of the few makers with the capability to supply sensors for its own mirrorless cameras. The Wi-FI enabled finder-less NX300 and NX210 are just two of such cameras from the consumer electronics giant featuring an APS-C size 20.3Mpix CMOS image sensor. Read on to find out just how well these cameras performed in our lab.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G6 is the update to last year's DMC-G5 MFT camera, the firm's $750 mid-range EVF equipped model sitting above the entry-level finder-less DMC-GF6 yet beneath the mighty video-maker's favorite DMC-GH3. The new camera features a 16-Mpix Live MOS sensor as well as a new Venus processing engine, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Panasonic's entry-level DMC GF6 sees a return to a more conventional control layout and adds several useful features including a touch-sensitive, tilting monitor and easy wireless connectivity with smart-phones via WiFi with NFC capability. The new camera also features a 16-Mpix sensor, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
Introduced in mid September, the Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the second generation of Olympus' entry-level Micro Four Thirds hybrid camera. It sports a newly updated design with a useful, fixed grip and a touch-screen interface among other updates, but the big news is that it has inherited the sensor of the much-admired Olympus OM-D E-M5, the current top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds camera.
With the Pen E-PL5, Olympus updates its range of micro 4:3 compact hybrids with redesigned ergonomics, upgraded electronics, and especially with the integration of the same 16Mpix LiveMos sensor found in the OM-D E-M5. Will it show the same advances in image quality as the flagship camera of its line? Our tests provide the answer.
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer.
The Nikon 1 J2 retains many of the same characteristics of its older brother, the J1, including its 1", 10-Mpix CMOS sensor. Other than its new 3", 921,000-point screen, the new version of Nikon's compact hybrid puts particular emphasis on creative modes. How does the Nikon 1 J2's sensor perform with respect to its predecessor, to its direct competitors, and to expert-level hybrids and compacts? Some answers from DxOMark.

[quote]The comfortable lead that this Olympus micro 4:3 sensor enjoys in our test results with respect to the Nikon's first-generation 1" sensor is very likely to be upset by [b]the new Nikon 20Mpix sensor used in its recently-announced V2 model[/b]".[/quote]
[url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Nikon/1-V2]Nikon V2 has 14Mpix sensor[/url].
Where did you find information about 20Mpix?
Added by AaronMC | November 16, 2012
I'm very happy with this. Yet again, we see a slight increase in ISO performance when the AA filter is removed. I would really appreciate some input from the DxO crew as to why this is the case.

Re: Yay!
Isn't it obvious? You remove a piece of glass, you get more transmission and so you can now get, say, ISO 89 performance at ISO 100. Re-calibrate the sensor to be in line with the ISO standard, and voila, you get less noise.

Caudill's Free Throw with 0.8 Left Lifts Women's Basketball to 76-75 Overtime Win over Belmont Abbey
February 12, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Celeste Caudill hit a free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining to lift the Lady Falcons to a 76-75 overtime win over Belmont Abbey College on Saturday night in the Merner Gym. Brittany Cox scored a team-high 17 points as Pfeiffer improves to 9-12 overall, 8-7 in league play. Crusaders forward Shayla Jackson set a career-high with 34 points as Belmont Abbey falls to 11-11, 10-6.
Jackson registered 34 points on 13-17 shooting from the floor and converted eight of nine free throws. She also had seven rebounds and one assist. Melisa Foures added 14 points and Amanda McDonald notched a double double, scoring ten points, including a jumper with seven seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime, and a career-high ten rebounds. Behind Cox, Christina Harvey added 13 while Celeste Caudill chipped in with ten. Kellie Rhoney tied McDonald for the game-high with ten boards.
Pfeiffer led by five, 61-56, with 2:22 left in regulation, but a 5-0 Abbey run, coming on a Candace Fox layup, a jumper from Jackson and a free throw from Kelsey Long deadlocked the game at 61with 50 seconds left. With 24 seconds left, Cox put the Falcons ahead by two with a layup. After an Abbey timeout with 12 seconds left, McDonald buried a jumper to tie the game for the ninth time, at 63-63.
In the extra period, a Cox free throw put the Falcons up by one, but Jackson countered with a short jumper to move the Abbey out in front 65-64 with 4:32 left. Two Falcons three-pointers sandwiched around a bucket by Jackson made the score70-67 Pfeiffer with 3:34 showing. A layup from Jackson followed by two free throws by Foures erased the Falcons lead and put the Abbey on top 71-70 with 2:33 left. Another basket by Jackson, her 34th and final points of the night, increased the advantage to three with 1:51 to go.
Cox answered with a trifecta to deadlock the game for the twelfth time, but two free throws from Long moved the Abbey back in front, 75-73 with 14 seconds left. Two seconds later, Cox was fouled and converted the two free throws to tie the game for the thirteenth and final time. With four seconds left McDonald missed a jumper that Caudill rebounded. She was fouled with one second left and hit the winning free throw. She missed the second and Foures grabbed the rebound as time expired.
Belmont Abbey led by as many as 11 points in the first half and carried a 29-27 edge at the break after converting half of its shots. It finished with a 48.1 percent (25-52) output while Pfeiffer shot 37.7 percent (26-69). The Abbey sank just one of nine from three-point range, while the Falcons were nine of 25.
Pfeiffer returns to their home floor on Monday night to host St. Andrews for a 5:30 p.m. tip.

Since then, the teen has been recovering at Levine's Children Hospital.
His family is faced with accommodating his wheelchair and will be moving from their mobile home in Lattimore to a larger house. They also need a handicap accessible van.
Pastor Michael Hanke with Maranatha Baptist Church where the family attends, said the church has set a goal to raise $30,000 to cover the cost of a van and remodeling a house for the Scruggs.
A spaghetti dinner and silent auction is scheduled for April 6 and all proceeds will go to the Scruggs.
Hanke said Isaiah is scheduled to be released from the hospital on March 28.
The church plans to build a ramp at the house, widen doors and add a bathroom onto a bedroom so the teen can be more independent and have greater freedom of movement.
"It would help him to be as independent as he can be so he can do more for himself," Scruggs said. "The more he can do the better it will be for him long term...I want him to be able to live as much as he can."

Etiquette Tip of the Week
Some people think name recall is something you are born with. You either have it or you don't. Not true! Name recall is a life-long practice. Anyone can become skilled at name recall, it just takes a little effort.
When you collect business cards at an event -- look at each card after the event and try to picture the person. Don't just do it once, do it a few times a week or before your next event.
A great place to practice name recall is on your LinkedIn account. Cover up the names of your LinkedIn "Connections" and try to identify each person by his/her picture. Next, try covering the pictures and visualizing the person that goes with each name.
When you invite someone to connect on LinkedIn, don't just send the generic invite. ("I'd like to connect with you on LinkedIn." The other person may be thinking, "Who are you?")
In your invite, introduce yourself, whether you have met before and why you want to be connected. (Hopefully, it's not just to reach 500+ Connections.)
We met at the Chamber of Commerce event...
We have a mutual friend in Mark Harris...
I noticed you are also in LinkedIn's Association of MBAs group and thought you might be a good person to connect with...
If you do forget someone's name, don't say, "I'm sorry, I forgot your name." (That's a little on the chilly side.)
A nicer way is to say, "Please tell me your name again."
-From the Culture and Manners Institute

Groovy is ...
An agile dynamic language for the Java Platform with many features that are inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk, making them available to Java developers using a Java-like syntax.
Developing web applications , writing shell scripts easily, writing concise, meaningful, test cases using Groovy's JUnit integration, or prototyping and producing real industrial strength applications have never been so concise and groovy.
Groovy works cleanly with all existing Java objects and libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode in either application development or scripting mode.
A simple hello world script:
A more sophisticated version using Object Orientation:
Leveraging existing Java libraries:

Comments about Quality Q-Tubes Standard 650C Presta Tube:
We have lots of thorns here and I don't enjoy changing tubes along the side of the road. So, we use Stan's sealant in both road and mountain bike wheels. The sealant works very well, but requires a removable valve stem core to install.
We like using these 650C tubes with 700C tires/wheels. The reduced size makes them easier for me to install and they are lighter than 700C tubes. Most important, the removable valve cores let you get the sealant into the assembled tire/tube/wheel combination as it dries out and needs to be supplemented after several months in our Arizona "dry heat".
We still get our fair share of punctures from thorns. But, with Stan's sealant in these tubes, very few result in flats. Yeah, you might have to add a little CO2 on the road if you lose too much air due to a puncture, so keep that inflator in your seat bag.

|ACH Patients and Families Celebrate Memorial Day with Members of our Armed Forces
More than 100 patients and family members attended the lively event, organized by Child Life Department director Kristin Maier and her staff. Among the many highlights: six members of MacDill Air Force base arrived to mingle with kids and families, play in a make-shift sand box and help decorate boxes to be shipped to U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan.
The holiday heat of was offset by several specially equipped "mister" fans that created a light, refreshing spray on passersby.
There were also several pop-up tents set up to shield young revelers from the sun - and provide cover for a band that consisted of several All Children's staffers - communications editor Dave Scheiber, creative services director Mike Sexton and information technology director Jim Lewis (otherwise known as Squiggly Jim and the Waltones) as well as Dave's wife Janie and daughters Laura and Mollie. The group entertained the crowd with country and rock hits, as well as some patriotic classics.
Much-appreciated support was provided by the Dietary Services department, including food service supervisor Mary Ann Taksas.
"They were on the ball, responding to our every request," Maier said. "They were timely and such a joy to work with, EVS (Environmental Services) never missed a beat, setting up and breaking down-offering to help throughout the day, Maintenance had our tents set up, purchased fans with misters-made sure they were all set up and ready to go and electricity turned on. All of these departments were so kind and went above and beyond."
In all, three bins were filled with gifts from ACH employees - including from regional outpatient care centers. The goodies were then placed in boxes by the children to be sent to the troops. Compensation analyst Meghann Helman came in on her day off to help at the box-decorating station, a way of honoring her sister, who is serving in Afghanistan.
The two-hour gathering ended with the playing of Taps by St. Petersburg High School sophomore Carl Plant, who volunteered his time to perform the song on a bugle used in the cavalry by his great-great-great uncle during World War I.
Added Maier: "It was so nice to be outside, to have the opportunity to work side by side with so many great departments, with our military, and see families really enjoying themselves."

It impacts your property, land adjacent to your home and your roads. And it has recently riled up homeowners living in a Kings Mountain neighborhood.
A property owner and some residents of the West End Neighborhood Association have struggled for months to agree on one property's future. Amazing Kids Daycare is on the property in question, 813 W. Mountain St.
The property is currently zoned residential. The classification allows for development of homes and even small in-home businesses, according to Steve Killian, director of planning and economic development for the City of Kings Mountain.
The property owner, David Faunce, recently asked Kings Mountain City Council to approve rezoning the site for a conditional use office permit.
"The plan before you this evening would have severe detrimental impact on the neighborhood if you approve this permit," Helen Hatch, a neighborhood resident, told the council after the presentation. "Kids next door to this property playing baseball would be less than 20 feet away from this property."
Hatch wasn't the only resident who spoke against Faunce's proposal to rezone the property for business or commercial use.
"I see it as a business corner," Faunce said.
But it's still unclear what type of business he wants to operate on the property because it's unknown what type of zoning permit the city will approve.
Common topic
Kings Mountain can see as many as 16 rezoning cases per year, Killian said. In 2012, Shelby approved six property rezones, according to City of Shelby Planning Director Walt Scharer.
Zoning entails many specifics. Some include a property's function, an entrance and exit for cars and landscaping. State law requires municipalities to hold a public hearing on any zoning case.
Melvin Ware, who lives in Blacksburg, S.C., co-owns a home adjacent to the day care in Kings Mountain.
"Depending on what he puts there, it could hurt our property values. Who wants to buy a home with a business sitting right in front of it?" Ware asked.
The property sits on three fronts: Phifer Road, West Mountain and King streets. The National Register of Historic Places recognizes a portion of West Mountain Street.
"I haven't received phone calls about this property because it's been perceived to be difficult to pursue," Faunce said. "(Residents) feel the whole street should stay residential, including my piece of property."
What does zoning involve?
Planning and zoning boards review zoning cases first. Then city councils vote on an issue, and the decision doesn't have to mirror the board's suggestion of an approval or denial.
"But the council needs to recognize what the planning and zoning board did," Scharer said.
At first, Faunce asked for a commercial rezone. Then, he asked for a conditional use office permit, allowing only for a select set of uses such as an office for a doctor, certified public accountant or real estate.
Still, the proposed new building's height and width raised questions with some residents. The building's original structure included 8,000 square feet for a two-story building. Faunce said he trimmed measurements to accommodate a one-story building with no more than 6,500 square feet of space.
"That's why we're butting heads," Faunce said.
Faunce, residents and city staff have met several times since March to find a common ground.
"It's the city's goal to make sure rezoning is safe and cost-efficient with land uses to benefit residents. Zoning is one of the tools that make land uses connect with infrastructure such as rail, gas water and electricity," Killian said.
Resolution in sight?
Shelby City Council approved a conditional use permit two years ago similar to one on the table for Faunce in Kings Mountain. The matter involved a building partially occupied by Fisherman's Feast on East Marion Street.
"They wanted the ability to lease out more parts of the building for other uses," Scharer said. "(The permit) has a limited number of uses, such as a beauty shop, barbershop and medical office."
Faunce wants the same type of permit approved. The city of Kings Mountain planning and zoning board voted 4-2 on the permit request before the council's March meeting. But city council members decided to review the issue at a later date after listening to resident concerns.
"We're being very cautious on what we would allow here," Ware said. "We just want to protect a quiet residential street."
Scharer said zoning can change roads and property uses, whether a resident lives next to or adjacent from the location in question. It involves more than grouping land parcels into certain zones. It's an outlook of what cities aim to achieve in the coming years with developments involving houses, businesses and industries.
"If you see a zoning sign, please call. Find out how it affects you. We're here to share that information," Scharer said.
Faunce said he doesn't know what else could be changed on the property to obtain the permit. Other property issues included future hours of operation.
"I've eliminated a lot of uses for this property such as an Urgent Care. I don't think they really want business on that corner," he said.
Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey said city council members plan to hear an update on the case this month. Kings Mountain's council meets Tuesday.
Ware said he's unsure if anything would be agreed on that soon.
What is zoning?
A means of land-use control, dividing communities into districts. Each district has land-use rules it must follow, such as types of buildings.
Zoning categories include:
- Residential: Such as homes, including single and multi-family
- Commercial: For example, a convenience store, a doctor's office
- Industrial: Industries that make their own products, such as Clearwater Paper or Ultra Machines or a warehouse
- Institutional: Hospitals, libraries, churches, etc., that are a necessity to a community but don't fit a residential or commercial category
Who's involved in the zoning process?
- Each rezoning case is approved by a city's planning and zoning board.
- The planning and zoning board reviews the case. They suggest to city council whether or not to approve the case.
- A majority vote from city council decides whether a rezone will be approved. Council does not necessarily have to follow the suggestion of its planning and zoning board.
- Planning and zoning boards can be composed of an array of people, from residents to business owners. Each member must be approved by a city council.
What does zoning determine?
The location of homes, restaurants, businesses and industries. Some areas are strictly neighborhoods, while others mix business and homes within just a few feet of each other.
Neighboring properties, sidewalk placements, current zone regulations and whether a land parcel is inside a recognized historic district can factor into approving or denying a suggested rezoning.
How much does a zoning application cost?
Rezoning application prices can vary. Kings Mountain charges $80, while Shelby's cost $250.
How long does it take to approve a request?
It varies. Killian said if a rezoning case doesn't pose any issues or surface hidden problems, it can take about 45 days from when the application was submitted.

The Seven Dials Mystery
The Seven Dials Mystery (Paperback)
Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper, so the other houseguests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6:30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank then backfired, with tragic consequences.
For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words "Seven Dials" were to take on a new and chilling significance. . . .

All Hali Botzenhart does is win and win some more.
And on top of that, the Southwest senior pitcher wins even more.
Get the gist?
Botzenhart has won all eight of her starts this season, which is a reason why the Stallions (8-1, 2-0 Coastal Plains 1-A Conference) are one of the favorites next week in the Piggly Wiggly Softball Classic at Richlands High School.
Southwest opens the tournament Monday at 10 a.m. against Croatan (1-6).
"I find it exciting," Botzenhart of her team's chances in the tournament. "I think we can go a long ways."
Each of the Stallions' victories this season has come when Botzenhart has taken the mound. But not only does she win, she has pitched well.
The right-hander sports a 1.98 earned run average to go along with 65 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched. She also has only walked nine batters and allowed just 16 hits.
Not too bad for the hurler.
"I'm just trying to get them to hit it soft," Botzenhart said. "And they (teammates) back me up."
Botzenhart, a four-year starter, has been one of the area's better pitchers in recent years. Last year, she was only 7-10, but had a 2.00 ERA and made the second team of The Daily News all-area team.
In 2011, she was 10-11 with a 4.50 ERA and as a freshman in 2010 she was 6-6 with a 2.40 ERA.
Botzenhart said that in the past she would try to overpower hitters with her fastball. Sometimes that approached worked and sometimes it didn't.
"I always tried to go for a strikeout," Botzenhart said. "Now I try to make them hit it soft."
Adding a change-up to go with her fastball and curveball has allowed Botzenhart to find success. She said she always had that pitch but that it's improved this season.
"I've always had one, but it was never slow enough. But I got it to slow down, and so I started to use it more and it messes up their timing a lot," Botzenhart said. "When I use it, it helps a lot."
Southwest first-year coach Tiffany Murphy has seen that, too.
"We have started playing good hitting teams. So that change-up has come at the right time," she said. "Hali has taken a couple of big hitters out of the game with her change-up."
Botzenhart didn't develop a good change-up overnight. She worked at it during practice and at home while away from her team.
"I throw like 100 pitches a day," Botzenhart said. "I even them up to where I am throwing so many fastballs, so many curveballs and I designate some for change-ups. Then it just came to me."
Botzenhart seems to have the physical tools to be a good high school pitcher. Still, Murphy said it was Botzenhart's mental makeup that helps her on the mound.
"She maintains her cool very well," Murphy said. "Even if we are making errors on defense, she keeps her head in the game."
Murphy added that Botzenhart is rather laid back and easy going in the dugout and away from the field. Yet the coach said her standout player is willing to speak out if need be.
"Hali is easy to get along with, but she doesn't mind telling you what she thinks and I like that," Murphy said. "She's up front with you and she's not going to sugarcoat it."
The 17-year-old Botzenhart has played softball since she was 5 and has long enjoyed the sport she calls "fun." She didn't pitch much in middle school but started to learn more about the position once she joined the Stallions.
But while she is known for her pitching, Botzenhart has proven to be just as reliable with her bat. She has a .467 batting average with 17 runs scored, 5 doubles and 2 triples while hitting third in the lineup.
"She is (expected) to get on base every time she comes up to the plate," Murphy said. "She is also an awesome base runner. She is probably one of the smartest base runners we have. We can almost guarantee that if we can get her on base then she is going to score."
Regardless of whether it takes her pitching or hitting (or both), Botzenhart would like nothing more than for the Stallions to win the tournament. She also wants to help Southwest continue to improve.
"We just need to get out there and keep practicing," she said. "The team overall, we have played good together. Sometime I will do bad, but they are there to back me up."

Does anyone know any online Japanese dictionary which provides audio reading?
It's strange that no one mentioned that WWWJDIC provides the audio clips for the reading for all the entries (rintaun only mentioned about the pronunciation hiragana).
In case anyone misses it (I didn't realize the blue button is a play sound button until later), here is where:
UmaiKanji has an audio library. It doesn't have anywhere near as many words as a dictionary, so don't expect to get a result for every word you look up. It's not a dictionary actually, but with Rikaikun/chan its useful.
I've seen dictionaries on the iPhone that use software to synthesize the readings.
Apple and Microsoft do this decently (for words more than sentences), in English at least. So, desktop software in combination with the OS's text-to-speech, or some dictionary that can take advantage of their frameworks is a possible lead for you.
I use http://nihongoresources.com which includes a lot grammar and pronunciation as well as a dictionary.
Pretty much every online Japanese dictionary that I know of provides reading, unless you mean something out of the ordinary by "reading." Take the following entry from WWWJDIC for reference:
Edit: WWWJDIC also contains audio examples for many common words, as Lukman points out in his answer.
I've yet to see a dictionary that didn't provide the reading. Plus, if you did manage to find one, you could just install RikaiChan or RikaiKun (depending on your browser) and it would give you the reading.
I use Nihongo de Care-navi for Japanese pronunciation with audio. It is actually not a dictionary, but it is for nurses and doctors in Japan to learn English. It however contains a large enough vocabulary that most of the everyday Japanese words are included. It also includes variations of a same word.
I run Jlearn which is a fairly comprehensive Online Japanese dictionary and has audio for all words and readings for kanji.

craniosynostosis) and abnormalities of bones in the arms and hands, sometimes referred to as radial ray anomalies. Many cases of Baller-Gerold syndrome are caused by mutations in the RECQL4 gene. These cases are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. In a few reported cases, the characteristic features of Baller-Gerold syndrome have been associated with prenatal exposure to a drug called sodium valproate which is used to treat epilepsy and certain psychiatric disorders. [1] Treatment may include surgery for treatment of craniosynostosis or reconstruction of the index finger to functional thumb.[2] The symptoms of Baller-Gerold syndrome overlap with features of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and RAPADILINO syndrome which are also caused by the RECQL4 gene. Researchers are trying to determine if these conditions are separate disorders or part of a single syndrome with overlapping signs and symptoms.[1]Baller-Gerold syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones (
