One of the search engines is behaving strangely.
I used the Google search on the main page (http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/) to look up "hustings." This is the equivalent of typing "hustings site:eggcorns.lascribe.net" in the box on Google's main search page. Google tells me that I can find the word "hustings" at http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/contribute … -page-38/.
When I click on the offered link I am taken to a collection of pre-forum posts. None of these posts, however, contain the word "hustings." The posts are numbered and there are a couple of gaps in the numbering. The largest gap in the postings is at posting 199. The next posting is numbered 566.
Going to the Internet archive on the Wayback machine, I ask for the page http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/contribute … t-page-38/ . The Wayback machine finds this page filed under the date August 21, 2006. I look at the page (you can see this page if you go to http://web.archive.org/web/200608212320 … t-page-38/) and I discover that it is a series of posts from inside the missing sequence. On this page, in post 375 by Ken Lakritz, is a discussion of the word "hustings."
Sometime, probably in the last few months, the Google indexing worm must have found and indexed the a page on eggcorn.lascribe.net that contained the word "hustings." But when the server at eggcorns.lascribe.net is now asked for the same page, the page at "contribute/comment-page-38," it does not deliver to the browser the page it gave to the Google worm.

You're right. This has been mentioned a number of times over the years, and I've even advocated jumping over to (non-site) Google in those cases where you're sure something's been posted but it's not coming up. The problem (well, I assume it's the same problem) also occasionally affects main-page searches for things on the forum—as I know from bitter experience. Peter Forster's "high teeth" doesn't show up there, but it does come up on the forum search page. I routinely search both these days.

Going to Google directly doesn't show anything more than the Google search box on the main page, does it? Searching for XYZ in the Google box on the main page is exactly the same as searching Google for XYZ site:eggcorns.lascribe.net
Peter Forster's "high teeth" doesn't show up there, but it does come up on the forum search page. I routinely search both these days.
Again, not quite sure what you mean. When I use the Google box on the main page and search for "high teeth" (with quotation marks around the phrase) Peter's post shows up. Here are the search results: http://tinyurl.com/4q4zb2 . If I search for "high teeth" (with or without quotation marks) using the keyword search in the forum, his post also shows up (search result here: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/sear … =146957039). Or were you talking about searching with the first search box on the main page. That doesn't yield the post in question because it's only a post and not in the database, right?
Well, I just clicked on the link you provide and got (repeatedly) the "Your search returned no hits" message—so the link's not working right now. But I do believe you—I've seen this before a number of times: there seem to be certain "access holes" with the main page search engine that come and go.
Indeed, the second link is broken. But if you type "high teeth" into the Forum search engine you will see the results.
Interesting that the link is broken after only a day. I can see by its format that the search function is generating an internal reference to the search target instead of coding the target itself in the URL. Apparently it trashes these internal reference after a short period of time. Bummer.

Library Journal
Hardy's classic 1891 novel, about a young woman's attempt at redemption following a scandal, demonstrates his fatalistic view regarding free will. Audie® Award winner Simon Vance's reading is straightforward, well paced, and clear, even when the characters speak in West Country dialect. This is an excellent choice for public libraries wanting to boost their classics collections, and the accompanying fulltext PDF ebook (which can be played in tandem with the MP3 recording) makes it useful also for high school and academic libraries.

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine announces the promotion of Hershey Bell, MD, MS (Med Ed), as Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the LECOM School of Pharmacy. Dr. Bell replaces Donald Tuttle, PharmD, who served as the pharmacy school dean at the College for five years.
|Hershey Bell, MD, MS (Med Ed)
Dr. Bell began teaching at LECOM as Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Evaluation in 2004. He will continue to oversee faculty development, the Master of Science in Medical Education program, and the Teaching and Learning Center.
Dr. Bell brings a vast and diversified history of leadership experience to the School of Pharmacy. Prior to coming to the College, Dr. Bell had served as Director of the Family Medicine Residency Program at Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, N.J.; Chief of the Division of Family Medicine and Vice-Chair of the Department of Community and Family Medicine at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina; and Senior Vice President for Primary Care, Medical Education and Quality at Hamot Medical Center in Erie. Dr. Bell also served as Hamot's first Chief Medical Officer.
Through his work in the quality arena and almost two decades of full service family practice, Dr. Bell has gained a thorough understanding of the important role that all health professionals play in the American health care system. He has worked with a number of health care organizations leading retreats to better position them in the larger health care picture. Among his many responsibilities at LECOM, Dr. Bell has been involved in the implementation of LECOM's strategic plan. Dr. Bell also plays a key role in the process that maintains accreditation with the American Osteopathic Association, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Dr. Bell has been a leading scholar in medical education. Throughout the 1990s and prior to the accreditation councils' decisions to make competency-based education the central model for medical education, Dr. Bell led a task force of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine that established core competencies for all physicians, including practicing within health systems with teams of health care professionals. His seminal paper, "Competency-based Education in Family Medicine" served as a spearhead for efforts at establishing required core competencies for physicians. Dr. Bell participated on the committee that wrote the six core allopathic physician competencies, and he participated with the American Osteopathic Association and the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners to develop the seven osteopathic core competencies. He has 17 peer-reviewed publications on topics germane to health professions education and has presented at more than 100 meetings nationwide. He is widely acknowledged as a leading voice for competency-based education in America and was recognized with the Mid-Career Achievement Award of the Northeast Section of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine in 2001 for his efforts.
Evidence of Dr. Bell's strong communication and interpersonal skills can be seen by his consistently high teaching evaluations and his successes in the grants arena. Based upon a thorough review of his teaching accomplishments, Dr. Bell was named as charter fellow in the National Academy of Osteopathic Medical Educators in 2009. Among the grants that Dr. Bell has worked on at LECOM include projects in complementary and alternative medicine, establishment of a model curriculum in clinical skills, development of the Center for Drug Information and Research, and projects related to the assessment of medical student competency. Dr. Bell has maintained an active research interest in pedagogy and competency-based education. He is currently involved in extramurally supported research seeking to identify precursors of clinical competency issues in first and second year medical students.
Dr. Bell has earned a reputation as a creative catalyst at LECOM and has been instrumental in collaboratively developing and implementing many key initiatives including the Teaching and Learning Center, the Office of Planning and Institutional Assessment (through which a revised faculty and curriculum assessment plan were introduced) the Medical Applications of Science and Health Program for high school students, a revamped Orientation process for the medical school, the Primary Care Scholars Pathway, and most notably, the highly successful Master of Science in Medical Education program which, as of January 2010, will have enrolled over 60 candidates including Drs. Dolores Kutzer, Anthony Randolph, and Julie Wilkinson from the School of Pharmacy. Due to these efforts and others, Dr. Bell was honored as a 2009 recipient of the John and Silvia Ferretti Award for Distinguished Teaching at LECOM.
Dr. Bell has been a longstanding member of the American Academy of Family Physicians (having earned fellowship status in that organization), the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, and, more recently, the American Osteopathic Association. With his background in medicine and medical education, he is eager to collaborate with others in the pharmaceutical profession and looks forward to contributing to leading pharmacy associations at the local, state and national level.
A native of Toronto, Ontario, he is the son of immigrant parents and is in the first generation in his family to complete high school, college and professional school. He attended University College at the University of Toronto as an undergraduate, majoring in mathematics, and then matriculated at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He completed residency education in family medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto and at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Following residency, he served as a National Faculty Development Fellow at Duke.

My Red Star Firebird disappeared on me a few weeks ago. I thought my kids may have gotten it out of my bag at the house and didn't put it back, I've searched all over with no luck. I'm now guessing that I forgot it at buffalo. So....if anyone has come across a near new red FB with no number give me a hollar.
Thanks, CC

Documentation and Description
Today about 6,500 languages are spoken world-wide, most of them are endangered. A quarter of the world's languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers, and many of them are already moribund (no longer learnt by children). To preserve or at least document as many languages as possible, members of the department are investigating indigenous languages on all continents. [more]
Typological Surveys
We are interested in finding out what properties are common to all human languages ("language universals") and the ways in which languages can differ from each other ("linguistic typology"). Beyond this, we aim to answer the question why language universals and cross- linguistic variation are the way they are. To this end, we study various linguistic phenomena across a wide range of languages. [more]
Language History
One of the central reasons why languages differ is because they change. The history of such changes can be reconstructed by comparing different languages and interpret the differences as the result of change. We investigate (quantitative) methods to help interpret differences. As not all changes are equally likely to occur in the history of language, the study of the limits of change will enhance our efforts to reconstruct "family trees" for the world's languages. [more]
Language Contact
One of the difficulties of establishing "family trees" for the world's languages is that languages are in constant interaction with each other, and often change dramatically in response to such contact. Not only words can be borrowed from other languages, also sound and complex grammatical structures can be exchanged. Various research projects in our department investigate linguistic processes of contact to gain a better understanding of their impact on the history and development of languages. [more]
Phonetics and Phonology
The sounds of the world's languages show a large variability, but still they are all produced by roughly the same articulatory apparatus and perceived by roughly the same ears all over the world. We investigate the available diversity, but also try to account for the many recurrent regularities. [more]
Jakarta Field Station
The Field Station's primary purpose is to collect large corpora of naturalistic language data. The three main research projects focus on Language Contact in Indonesia, Language Description, and the Acquisition of Jakarta Indonesian. [more]
Past Research
Finished projects, discontinued projects, and projects of former staff. [more]

Monastic Interludes: Learning to Chill at the Kopan Monastery
The dull clang of a bell penetrated my consciousness. Morning! In the darkness, I crawled out of bed and pulled on my clothes. Wrapping a shawl close around me, I open the door. A blast of icy air hit me. Through the gloom I glimpsed phantoms disappearing into the mist--people on their way to meditation. I was in Kopan Monastery, a Buddhist monastery just outside Kathmandu. Together with 300 other Europeans, I had joined a month-long meditation course. It was to be a unique experience and I had high hopes that at the end I'd be calm, tranquil and stress free.
The Kopan Monastery was surrounded by a desperately poor village--a dirty shantytown of flimsy shelters immersed in the unmistakable stench of dysentery.
Upon arrival at the monastery, I was assigned to a dormitory room with a communal bathroom and a non-functioning solar shower. Starting at 4.30am, the day was broken into 5 meditation sessions: early morning, morning, afternoon, evening and night. Each session was 2 hours. Between sessions, there were discussion groups, washing, chores and helping each other.
From the start, we had to abide by the monastery's rules: no killing, stealing, lying, alcohol, smoking or sexual activity. In addition, during the course, we could not leave the monastery grounds, receive or make telephone calls or receive or send mail.
The intent of the rules, which seemed harsh, was to simplify our lives by stripping away distractions. We were assured that this, in turn, would result in the mind becoming calm and tranquil. Great! That was what I came for! However, I quickly discovered that when sitting on a hard cushion on the cold floor, the slippery mind is wonderfully creative: random thoughts and daydreams fill the void left by distractions. Every emotion seems to rise--except calmness and tranquility!
The course taught the way to be free from suffering--or, as Buddhists understand it, the path to enlightenment. Each day, we were led through a series of meditations identifying the causes of our suffering and how to be freed from them.
Days passed...many people left the course because of sickness or unwillingness to cope with the harsh conditions or rigorous regime. Those who remained fluctuated between fleeting moments of peacefulness and being tired, hungry or cold. Rather than becoming easier, meditation became increasingly difficult. My mind seemed like a chaotic nightmare of fractured thoughts. Calmness and tranquility seemed an elusive dream. The harder I tried to concentrate on the meditation topic and quiet the thoughts, the more my mind rioted. It was cold comfort when the teacher advised that this was totally normal--and that calmness and tranquility can take years of practice to achieve!
The course ended. To celebrate, we joined the monks in the main temple and entertained them with European songs and dances. Then, we shared a huge banquet accompanied by much laughter. The festival culminated with the monks performing highly energetic and vibrant Buddhist dances.
After four long weeks, it was time to leave the monastery. Like a moth emerging from a cocoon, I made my way back to Kathmandu. The traffic sounds jarred my ears, shops overflowing with colorful goods assaulted my eyes and the myriad of aromas offended my nose. Dazed, I wandered the city like a zombie. Suddenly, I realized the problem: a fragile calmness had secretly developed in my mind--and it was being disturbed! Maybe, if I just spent another month meditating...
Ka Nying Shedrup Ling
Many lesser known monasteries also offer short courses. The best place to discover what is available is on the bulletin board at the Bir Restaurant (close to the Sherpa Monastery in Boudha Nath). Also, the Himalayan Yogic Institute and Kathmandu Buddhist Centre, both in the centre of Kathmandu, offer courses ranging from a single day to several days. In addition, potential participants should ensure that a translator will be available to translate the instructions from Tibetan or that the instructions will be given in a European language.
Kopan Monastery
All courses are either taught in English or translated into English. In addition, translators are available for a number of other European languages during the November course. Prices vary depending on the length of the course and the type of accommodation required. The maximum cost is approximately US$300 for the one-month course (tuition only -- accommodation is extra.)

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, December 16, 2013
KHLOE KARDASHIAN filed for divorce Friday from LAMAR ODOM, citing irreconcilable differences. A source says, quote, "Lamar expected this. He's fine with it. He just wants it over swiftly and smoothly now. He's had time to come to terms with it . . . He just wants to move on with his life now."
Family and close friends attended a private memorial for PAUL WALKER at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles on Saturday. A witness says, quote, "His parents were there, along with his brothers and some other family members . . . A few people got up and gave tributes to Paul. It was hard for many people to talk, they were in tears and couldn't finish what they were saying." A second service is being planned for "Fast & Furious" cast and crew.
Reportedly, Lindsay Lohan is writing a tell-all book and won't hold anything back. Sources say LiLo has several offers from publishing companies and they are in the six-figure range. The book started as a series of journal entries which she wrote in rehab as a therapeutic exercise. It is still in its early stages, but Lindsay plans to write about her arrests, drug use and even her family.
12/13/13 Khloe to File for Divorce
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, December 13, 2013
MILEY CYRUS has joined something called the "Free the Nipple" campaign, by Tweeting a picture of herself holding a fake boob in front of her face. Free the Nipple is an attempt to end the media's, quote, "glorification of violence and repression of nudity" . . . and to, quote, "decriminalize the female body."
On "Ellen" yesterday, LEA MICHELE said she's still dealing with the death of CORY MONTEITH . . . quote, "Grief goes with you every day, whatever you're doing, when there's great moments, when there's hard moments. I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this, or you can choose to rise. And that's what I'm just trying to do."
TMZ is reporting this morning that Khloe Kardashian is calling it quits. She will officially file divorce papers, later today, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Bruce Jenner is allegedly planning on flattening his Adam's Apple. The 64-year-old met with a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon on Thursday for a consultation regarding the procedure, known as a tracheal shave. The operation reduces the size of the cartilage in the neck, and is typically performed on patients as part of a sex change. Bruce has been pounded by rumors that he is a secret cross dresser, but he denied that he is transitioning from male to female, and said, 'I just never liked my trachea.'
Susan Sarandon says she was stoned at almost all the award shows in Hollywood. Susan appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" and host Andy Cohen asked her to name one major Hollywood event she showed up to stoned. She replied almost all except the Oscars.
12/12/13 Kanye at it Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, December 12, 2013
According to a Yahoo poll, JENNIFER LAWRENCE is the female celebrity most guys would want to take home to their mothers. For some reason the list only goes up to NINE, and it includes three definite head-scratchers: Drug-loving twerk-fiend MILEY CYRUS . . . shoe-gazing home-wrecker KRISTEN STEWART . . . and serial monogamist (slash) ex-girlfriend-from-Hell TAYLOR SWIFT. Not to mention recovering drug addict DEMI LOVATO and amateur nude model VANESSA HUDGENS.
The "Star" magazine claims that JUSTIN BIEBER has been testing out a new pickup line. Supposedly, he's been walking up to girls and asking them if they want to be "BIEBERED". A source says, quote, "His friends thought it was hilarious, but to Justin it's not a joke . . . he thinks he's so incredible in the bedroom that it's a privilege for girls to get with him."
During his show Tuesday night, KANYE WEST complained about only getting two Grammy nominations. He said, quote, "So when the Grammy nominations come out and 'Yeezus' is the top one or two album on every single list, but only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say? Did they think that I wouldn't notice?"
OPRAH WINFREY has revealed why she never wanted kids . . . quote, "If I had kids, my kids would hate me. They would have ended up on the equivalent of the 'Oprah' show talking about me; because something [in my life] would have had to suffer and it would've probably been them."
12/11/13 Britney Spears Wants Baby Girl
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
BRITNEY SPEARS wants another baby . . . and not surprisingly, it's for selfish reasons. She says, quote, "I would really like to have another baby, a girl. I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it's going to be crazy. I'm not going to feel as alone in the world anymore. I'm going to feel like I have a second person, like, that's me." Britney has two sons, 8-year-old Sean and 7-year-old Jayden. Their father is INTERNATIONAL RAPPING AND DANCING SENSATION KEVIN FEDERLINE.
We heard a rumor that TAYLOR LAUTNER was nailing KRISTEN STEWART. Well, now we know it's not true. Because Taylor is still dating Marie Avgeropoulos . . . an actress he met on the set of his upcoming movie "Tracers". They were linked a few months ago, and this past weekend they were spotted snuggling at the JAY Z concert in L.A.
KATE WINSLET had a baby boy on Monday. There's no word yet on his name. The boy's father is the nephew of billionaire RICHARD BRANSON. He calls himself NED ROCKNROLL. In fact, he legally changed his name to that. And yet Kate married and reproduced with him anyway. She's 38, he's 35. Kate now has three children with three different husbands.
It looks like SIMON COWELL and Lauren Silverman really are naming their son Simon. A so-called "insider" who was at Lauren's baby shower says, quote, "There were baby clothes and little games all personalized with the name 'Simon'. From what everyone, including Lauren, was saying, they are 100% naming their son Simon. Initials for baby Simon were everywhere."
Miami police say LINDSAY LOHAN is NOT being investigated in the beating of PARIS HILTON'S brother BARRON over the weekend.
A police spokesman says, quote, "Lindsay Lohan's name was never mentioned. If she had orchestrated it, we would have been told. And we didn't receive that information on the scene." There are reports that Barron is no longer pursuing charges . . . and one source says it's because someone who was at the party threatened to release photos that show the whole thing was his fault.
12/10/13 Most Overpaid Actors
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Forbes.com has named ADAM SANDLER the Most Overpaid Actor of 2013. For every dollar Adam is paid, his movies gross just $3.40. He's followed by Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon, Nicolas Cage and Kevin James.
KANYE WEST compared performing on tour to being a cop or a soldier over the weekend. Especially when he's on the fake mountain that takes up a big part of his stage. He said, quote, "That mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped . . . You never know . . . I think about my family and I'm like, 'Wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.'"
In an interview with RYAN SEACREST, JUSTIN BIEBER said he's just a "19-year-old boy." He added, quote, "I'm becoming a man but I'm still 19, I'm still finding myself and when I have the media attacking me every day, it's no less bullying than what happens in schools." Meanwhile, Justin's mother revealed that his first word was "money".
Lamar Odom was sentenced to three years of probation yesterday after pleading no contest to DUI. In addition to probation, he'll be required to complete an alcohol education class and pay $1814 in fees and fines.

Just moving to Chicago from the east coast, the greater Washington D.C. Metro area, the expectation for city greatness has been set quite high. For those of you who have traveled to the greater DC area know there are very few cities that can rival the tourists "hoopla" of DC. Over the last six months I have challenged myself to explore and experience everything that the city has to offer. I can honestly say that I have not been disappointed and Chicago is not only a city that rivals but may prove to be a better city for tourists, in my humble opinion.
There are so many great things to do in Chicago, but the one thing that I have found that is unique to Chicago is the Comedy Club Scene. While well known for its exquisite Hot Dogs, Deep Dish pizza and the city's pride and joy 'Da Bears, their comedy scene is a hidden treasure that all must experience. Within 5 miles of the Hampton Inn and Suites Downtown Chicago, there are some world famous comedy clubs that has produced some of the world's most talented funny people.
The Second City is one of the most famous clubs we have in Chicago, providing comedic relief for the masses seven days a week. I first experienced this "Gem" over the Christmas Holiday with my parents. Truly a treat for us all, although my parents and I have very different comedic pallets the stellar cast made the experience both memorable and enjoyable. Producing some of the greats such as Stephen Colbert, Bill Murray, and the blues brothers Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi you know you are in for some good quality fun.
If you find yourself in the mood for a more intimate setting with some comedy that has some "bite". Then look no further then The Comedy Bar located in River North. Just a few short blocks from the front doors of the Hampton Inn and Suites Chicago Downtown, there truly isn't a better deal in the River North area for an evening of entertainment. At $10.00 a ticket you can see some of the most promising new comers to the Comedy Scene. After you are done with the laughs if you feel like busting a move look no further than the bar\club they have on the second floor. Cover included with admission.
There are so many great clubs to just stop in on any given day and catch a laugh or two, so come on down and experience one or two for yourself.

GasBuddy Blog
Hurricane Sandy, West Coast refinery problems, scattered refinery fires and outages- all of these events this year alone have caused gasoline supply issues or spikes in prices. But while politicians talk often and open many spineless investigations, they fumble real opportunities to make a difference to quell these situations- they talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk.The largest gasoline price spike in California history took place to start October, when average prices rose nearly 50-cents per gallon in just five days. GasBuddy first warned motorists and the public via a blog post October 2, when prices were averaging $4.22/gal. They then rose to $4.62 within 72 hours of that warning. Meanwhile, California Governor Jerry...

North Carolinians go long distances for family and poultry.
According to AAA Carolinas, an estimated 1.26 million residents will travel more than 50 miles during the Thanksgiving holiday — 13 percent of the estimated 2011 state population. About 1.13 million have or will hit the road. That's 11.7 percent of the state population and 90 percent of all travelers. The number is up by about 11,000 people from last year.
The N.C. Highway Patrol has stepped up its efforts to handle the congestion and its effects.
"We've got every available man working for the Thanksgiving holiday period," Trooper Doug Coley said. "We've also got a click-it-or-ticket program we're running Wednesday through Sunday. We're going to be targeting aggressive drivers, speeding, and — as usual — we'll be looking for impaired drivers."
You may have been a part of the busy roadways Wednesday, when 45 percent of all travelers were expected to be on the road. Around 36 percent of people will return Sunday. Coley said sometimes drivers let the pressure of the holiday get to them, creating dangerous situations.
"People get impatient when they're driving," he said. "They maybe have a time schedule that they're trying to keep — sometimes being impatient will cause them to drive at speeds they're not used to traveling at, or at a speed that's not safe."
Coley added, "People will take chances passing when maybe it's unsafe to pass and change lanes when they haven't checked their blind spots or used turn signals to let other people know. But speed is the prime issue when it comes to people traveling. They don't give distance to people they're traveling behind, and some type of abrupt stop causes a collision or a hazard."
Coley suggests drivers take care to make sure there's a safe distance between their car and others, and if there are two or more people going on a long trip, switching out drivers so no one gets too fatigued.
If you are traveling by car, it's one of the best times of the year for gas prices in what the U.S. Energy Information Agency considers the Lower Atlantic region: North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Regional gas prices are down 2.8 cents from last year — an average $3.29 a gallon for regular unleaded.
"We've seen national gas prices come down about 25 cents a gallon in the last 30 days," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst with gasbuddy.com. "Similarly in North Carolina, we've seen the average price also drop by about 31 cents a gallon in the last 30 days, so that's a pretty good consistent pattern that is consistent with the winter-blend gasoline selling during the fourth quarter."
One of the reasons more people are taking to the road is because of the lower gas prices, according to AAA Carolinas.
"Thanksgiving is the most traditional family holiday with the 'turkey day' always coming on a Thursday, creating a guaranteed four-day holiday for many," David E. Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas, said in a statement. "The lower price at the pump will encourage more people to drive this Thanksgiving."
Compared to last year, though, most other regions of the country aren't doing as well. The Central Atlantic and New England regions have the worst of it, seeing a 24.1 cent and an 18 percent increase over last year, respectively. Laskoski said it comes down to refinery capacity. Nationally, the refinery capacity rate is at 86 percent, but because of the effects of Hurricane Sandy, northeastern refineries are operating at 66 percent capacity.
If 13 percent of North Carolinians are traveling, though, that means 87 percent are staying home or not going far.
"I'm staying in town, but my daughter's traveling from Winston-Salem," said Hugo resident Mabelene Moore, refueling at the Marathon gas station on North Queen Street this week.
Teri Rush will be staying at her home, though she said she'll be cooking for her family, including her daughter who travels from Greenville, and her son from Snow Hill.
"We'll all be at Emerald Isle, which is paradise anyway," Rush said.

National health reform, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"), sets forth new requirements via Internal Revenue Code Section 501(r) to hospital organizations to conduct a periodic assessment of health needs of those living in their service area in order to maintain tax-exempt status. The Community Health Needs Assessment ("CHNA") process for Hartford began in October 2010 with an initial meeting of representatives from area hospitals, namely Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Hartford Hospital, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, and the University of Connecticut Health Center. This consortium of health care organizations ("The Consortium"), including the City of Hartford Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), came together to address this requirement and to collaborate on a community health needs assessment which would maximize resources and develop a comprehensive and useful document for agencies working in the City of Hartford.
In order to complete the community health needs assessment the Consortium contracted with Holleran, a health research consulting firm, to complete a secondary data analysis and to conduct telephone interviews of 59 Key Informants identified by the steering committee of the CHNA group. The Urban Alliance, a local non-profit organization that provides capacity building and technical assistance to improve the quality of life for under-resourced residents by facilitating a network of faith-based organizations, aided in this process by conducting a resident survey on human service needs. Additionally, the Health Equity Index ("HEI") developed by the Connecticut Association of Directors of Health ("CADH") provided recent trend data that were used to bolster our findings. From these various data sources we are able to present a framework to better understand the importance of social determinants of health.
Social determinants of health refer to factors and resources that are essential to the health of communities and individuals. These include income, shelter, education, access to nutritious food, community norms and cohesion. They are the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, and work, as well as the resources available to support their health and help them deal effectively with illness and disease. These social health determinants can be described in terms of factors threatening health, promoting health and protecting health. From the perspective of a Community Health Needs Assessment, the social determinants of health provide a lens through which to view different populations and communities in terms of which community conditions are most important and which are the most limiting for population health.
The information included in the CHNA provides the foundation upon which community health programs and interventions can be targeted, developed, and evaluated with the ultimate goal of improving the health of the community and its members.

Yes, you will need regular access to a computer with an internet connection. While it may be possible to study from a variety of venues such as at work, a library, or at a family member's house, we recommend that you use a computer based in your own home.
We suggest you spend a minimum of 10 to 15 hours per week studying. The number of hours required each week can vary throughout your module, for example, if you're preparing an assignment, the number of hours required in that week may be higher than other weeks.
If your personal situation changes during your studies, we will work with you to make the necessary adjustments to your course load. University of Essex Online courses are different to traditional degree courses, enabling us to our approach courses with more flexibility.
There are no exams to sit. All assessments are based on discussion contributions, written assignments and work-based learning projects. Every piece of work that you submit is uploaded via our virtual online platform and your tutor has direct access to assess it.
If you are a UK or EU citizen and live in England or Wales and haven't completed a degree before you may be eligible for a student loan which will pay for the full cost of your undergraduate studies. If you're not eligible, or you decide to fund the course yourself, we offer a simple monthly payment plan, enabling you to spread the cost of your tuition over the duration of your studies.
Call us on +44 (0) 800 0527 526 or complete our online application form. We have monthly start dates so you can begin your studies as soon as you've been accepted onto one of our courses and your student loan application has been received or you and have paid your course tuition fee.

In order to apply for APL, you will need to find the learning outcomes for the study you have previously completed so that we can compare this to our equivalent programme. Our Admissions Team will be happy to advise you of the APL process during your enrolment.
An academic transcript is a record of your achievement from your current or previous institution which confirms the modules you have studied (including their level and the number of credits they are worth) and the grades you were awarded. The transcript should show the official seal of the awarding institution, and/or an authenticating signature.
There is no mention of online study on the University of Essex degree certificate. The mode of study is mentioned on the transcripts that accompany your final grades.
Yes, you will be invited to attend a graduation ceremony at the University of Essex campus in Colchester after the successful completion of your degree course.

Western Sydney, Gosford, Newcastle and Melbourne will compete to host Australia's fifth franchise in the new Super 15.
Sanzar has decided that a new conference-based round will follow the regular Super Rugby round-robin. Each Sanzar country will host a conference and, since South Africa and New Zealand already have five franchises, it's more than likely Australia will be awarded the new team to complete their quota. South Africa and New Zealand will bid for the new franchise but with the problem of overseas travel in what is an Australia-based conference, the fifth conference place could go to an Aussie team.
The Western Force joined the Super Rugby family in 2006, and since that time there have been fears that the three original Aussie franchises have become diluted. Australian Rugby Union chief John O'Neill said this will be addressed when structuring the new franchise.
"It is imperative that we learn the lessons of some of the mistakes which were made when the Western Force was created," O'Neill said. "There was a bit of gay abandon in the ways players were recruited for the Force. We would also be very careful that the existing four Australian franchises are not diminished in any way."
A proposal will be put forward to Sanzar's broadcasters on 30 June where the new structure, which includes a six-team final series after the conference round, will be addressed.
The decision of where to base the new Aussie franchise, be it in Western Sydney, Gosford, Newcastle or Melbourne, will also be decided by the broadcasters. All decisions will be made before the end of 2009. Australians playing abroad and even Pacific Islanders could be recruited to play for the new team.
O'Neill said he hopes to have the six-team final series in place by 2010.
"It would give us a taste of what it's like. In 2011 it will be the start of a new competition, but it is also a World Cup year.
"That will require some logistical manoeuvring to make sure that we get the expanded Super Rugby and Tri-Nations tournaments out of the way in time for the World Cup in New Zealand. We wanted to have the six-team final in 2009, but it got knocked on the head."
South Africa are also pushing for the inclusion of Argentina in the Tri-Nations. O'Neill said this is still a work in progress.
"Sanzar has decided to put more grunt into working with the Argentina union on getting better assurances that they can provide their best available team. We also need to find out what revenue generation can come out of including Argentina in a four-nations tournament."

Nice but smaller than expected
I was pleased with the save-the-date cards that we ordered. We had been hoping to use them as both our Christmas cards and save-the-date cards, but they were much smaller than I expected. We are still using them for both, but I should have paid closer attention to the measurements before I ordered. My error, not the company's.

Just choose one of the 3 diamond tips (fine, regular and precision), attach to the ergonomic wand, choose your suction setting and wave the wand in uniform movements to polish face, neck, hands, arms, legs and more. With continuous use, you'll see the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and age spots diminish, and reveal your freshest, most vibrant skin yet.
• Combines diamond peel exfoliation and vacuum stimulation
• Features 3 diamond tips for use on different parts of the body
• Has 5 suction settings depending on your comfort/sensitivity level
system includes:
• Microdermabrasion dual-action system unit

What do you get when you combine 10 years of experience building social platforms and a team of fun-loving visionaries with big ideas for the future?
We've been bringing people together since 2004, building apps with hundreds of millions of users. Now our experience and momentum have us primed to create the next billion-user idea. We have the luxury to experiment with the latest technology and ideas without being tied to the launch of a particular product. We're taking multiple shots, iterating as we go.
We love the apps we've already created (starting with our flagship, Tagged), but we're just as excited to innovate, experiment and use our skills to explore the endless possibilities that exist in social technology. After all, isn't that how you grow?
Our products are social and always will be
We launched Tagged in 2004 and it has since evolved into one of the world's most engaging social networks.Read More
Combined with its sister brand hi5, there are over 300 million registered members on the service, which focuses on connecting people through features like browse, Meet Me and our Pets game.
A social network with global appeal, hi5 now intersects with Tagged's user base and offerings.Read More
Founded in 2003, hi5 was among the world's first and largest social networks. By the end of the decade it had evolved into a social gaming focused portal. We acquired hi5 in 2011 and it has since been updated to integrate with the Tagged experience.
The Future
We're constantly exploring new ways of bringing people together through social apps.Read More
