LAURINBURG — Area education officials discussed past progress and future challenges at their respective institutions on Friday during a breakfast sponsored by the Laurinburg-Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce.
Including state Sen. Gene McLaurin and state Rep. Ken Goodman, some 50 people attended the breakfast, held at Laurinburg Presbyterian Church. Speaking were Scotland County Schools Superintendent Rick Stout, Richmond Community College President Dale McInnis, St. Andrews University President Paul Baldasare, and University of North Carolina at Pembroke Chancellor Kyle Carter, all of whom identified future funding as a challenge to the reputation of the state's system of education.
Funding concerns
Historically near the median in teaching salaries nationwide, in the past several years North Carolina has fallen to 46th in the state rankings.
"Teachers have only had a one percent raise over the last six years — that's pretty discouraging," said Stout, who pointed to low pay as the cause for an exodus of teachers from the state.
"We're having a hard time recruiting. You can go to Tennessee and make $10,000 more as a beginning teacher. You can go to South Carolina and Virginia and make more money."
McLaurin said that his goal is to see North Carolina's teaching salaries return to at least the national average.
The same difficulties exist in higher education, as with the exception of a 1.2 percent raise last year, the state's public universities have experienced a salary freeze for the last five years.
"That wears on you and you begin to lose faculty and that's the part that really concerns me," Carter said.
"We've had a number of faculty leave as a result of that. What's frustrating is that southern states around us have increased support to public higher education — and other places in the country are talking about North Carolina as a model for public education, and they're emulating us, and they're putting a lot of money in it and they're bragging about being able to take faculty from the UNC system."
St. Andrews University, though a private institution, has funding concerns of its own.
"The cost to educate a student is exactly the same at a private institution as it is at a public," Baldasare said. "The only issue is where the funding comes from and who pays … I can't tell you that there's a single private college in the United States that tuition, room, and board cover all the costs of going to that school for a student."
Baldasare identified the cost of maintenance and upgrades to the campus as significant challenges in the near future. Through its annual Laurinburg area funding campaign, St. Andrews typically raises over $500,000 from local donors, and also receives donations from corporations and its alumni.
"No matter where I go and whatever meeting I'm in, when I tell people what this community does for its private college, they are just blown away," Baldasare said.
There are 6,117 students attending Scotland County Schools this year, a number Stout said was on par with projections.
"We're not losing funds, we're really not gaining funds, so that's always encouraging because when we lose ADM that's money per child," said Stout. "Over the last few years we have lost quite a bit of money and we have lost quite a few students."
The Average Daily Membership allotment is the amount of money allocated to a school based on the daily sum of all students expected at the school per month divided by the total days in a month.
Board of Education member Paul Rush expressed a concern with the proportion of county students now being homeschooled and attending private schools. Stout discussed the possibility of serving homeschooled students with a virtual learning program currently serving homebound students in order to increase the school system's enrollment numbers.
"A lot of times when you have students on homebound they have to wait for a teacher to come to do their homework, so with our virtual program they now can see the classrooms virtually and they actually stay right on top of their lessons," he said. "We want to increase this pilot program also to include those students who may be homeschooled and would like to still be part of our system but maybe don't feel comfortable enough to come to a public school … . We know in the public school system that we need to be more flexible. We know we've got private schools challenging us and charter schools coming in."
The two universities and Richmond Community College, on the other hand, reported promising growth for the fall semester. The college's overall enrollment in for-credit programs increased by three percent, and UNC-Pembroke had its largest freshman class in five years. St. Andrews enrolled more new students this fall than it has in 20 years, including 35 international students.
"Sports, equestrian, and the Presbyterian church relationship that we have — all those have contributed over the history of St. Andrews to us having a very diverse group of students who have historically come and continue to come to St. Andrews," Baldasare said.
He added that the school plans to add a master's program in education, as well as undergraduate majors in middle school education, special education, communications and social media in the coming years.
Upward paths
One of the greatest successes in recent years at Richmond Community College, McInnis said, is emphasis on its transfer programs. When RCC's associate's degree graduates transfer to a four-year university, 94 percent of them perform as well as students attending those universities from their freshman year.
"Our students succeed when they transfer," said McInnis. "The perception that RCC or any of the other community colleges are simply trade schools or tech schools is erroneous."
McInnis also reported a dramatic increase in high school dual enrollment students, including students now taking welding and nursing courses at Scotland High School. He said that the state waivers that provide the opportunity for dual enrollment as well as associate's degree courses for students at Scotland Early College High School free of cost to students are a "huge asset" that should be preserved.
"These students, many of them finishing ahead of schedule, are able to take advantage of this," McInnis said. "Many of them are first-generation college students; no one in their family has been to college before and in many cases there was no expectation of going to college."
RCC remains committed to its non-credit programs as well, including entrepreneurial support, literacy, occupational training, career readiness, and industrial support.
"Every manufacturer in this county has had a training program with RCC," said McInnis. "Every time they've expanded, every time they've grown, every time they've started, we've been working with them every step of the way. Whether it's addition of new equipment, whether it's the addition of new positions, we can bring in state funds to help make that transition possible."
In addition to funding, having lost $900,000 of its $16 million budget this year through management flex cuts from the state, space is one of RCC's most eminent concerns. Currently, both the main campus in Hamlet and Laurinburg's Honeycutt Center are "just about maxed out" in terms of enrollment with their current physical amenities.
Higher standards
In the last five years, admission to UNC-Pembroke has become something for applicants not to take for granted, Carter said. The college recently increased its grade point average requirement from 2.0 to 2.7.
"For lots of reasons we decided to change that," Carter said. "We are not supposed to provide developmental courses to students coming in; we rely upon our community college partners for that. We have gradually increased the admissions standards to above the minimum required by the UNC system."
Tough the school has implemented a new GPA floor for prospective students, some exceptions are still made depending upon the strength of individual applications.
"We're seeing a lot of positive changes as a result of that: our faculty are more energized in terms of how students respond in the classroom, our retention rates are improving, and I think it's helping the institution overall," Carter said.
Carter said that there is no intention of barring students from a college education, and that taking remedial courses at a community college before transferring to UNC-Pembroke remains a viable course for the applicants it turns away.
"We are, in terms of selectivity, just a little bit above a community college, and we're just fine with that," he said.
UNC-Pembroke currently offers 41 undergraduate majors and 18 graduate programs. Of its 6,250 students, some 250 live in Scotland County, as do some 160 of its faculty members.
Carter also said that the school has "really turned into a residential campus," with 2,000 students living on campus and another 1,200 living within walking distance.
"We have something very good here and we have to make sure that we protect it," Carter said.

National team competitions
22-17, 16-12, 15-19, 14-14
Sodertalje Kings kept alive their hopes of reaching the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge and denied Norrkoping Dolphins qualification on the night with a 67-62 win in Group C.
All Södertälje need to do now is beat Ventspils on the road next week to make sure they punch their ticket.
The Kings held off the Dolphins in a tense finish after allowing a 41-29 lead early in the third quarter to dissolve completely.
Three free throws from Dino Pita had given the Kings a 12-point lead a little over a minute after half-time.
But big three-pointers from Edgars Jeromanovs and Anton Saks fuelled a Dolphins comeback as they closed within three before the end of the period.
They continued to chip away in the fourth before Oladapo Ayuba's three capped a brief 7-0 spurt that put the Dolphins up 59-58.
It lasted only a few seconds before Mike Joseph responded with a lay-up but the game was tied at 60 with 66 seconds left.
There were missed free throws on both sides as the tension rose, but when John Roberson held his nerve to make a pair with 12 seconds left, the Kings were up 65-62.
Martin Ringstrom missed a three for the Dolphins, and Bizaca then iced it from the line.
Bizaca led the Kings with 15 points while Kenneth Simms had 14 and 12 rebounds. Martin Pahlmblad collected 13 points, with Pita adding 12.
Jeromanovs led the Dolphins with 20 points while Pavel Ermolinskij had 15 and Ayuba 12.
Norrköping Dolphins forward Martin Ringström"It was a miserable performance throughout by our team. We missed heavily from the floor and from the free-throw line, and were far too slow in swinging the ball on offense."
Norrköping Dolphins head coach Paul Burke"We should have won it. I am so disappointed, because in sequences we outplayed them, but missed everything. But Södertälje hit the important shot and won the game."
Södertälje Kings guard Martin Pahlmblad"A solid defensive game by us, and we also read their defense very well and gave ourselves the opportunities we needed to beat them."
Södertälje Kings head coach Vedran Bosnic"It was a big win for us. I must give big credit to my players, who survived despite Norrköpings advantage in every statistical category, except shooting percentage. I am always happy to beat Norrköping, that is a good team, and tonight´s win meant that we still have the chance to advance to the second round in the tournament."

The ASPCA is excited to announce the launch of a new farm animal campaign focusing on the plight of chickens raised for meat (often called "broiler" chickens). Roughly 8.5 billion chickens are raised in the U.S. annually, most on squalid factory farms where there is no government oversight of their treatment.
The issue is not just the treatment of chickens, though: it's that modern chickens are selectively bred to grow so large, so fast, that they struggle to simply move or stand.
Today's chickens are bred to have such massive and disproportionate bodies that they often collapse and spend most of their lives lying helplessly in their own waste. Many have open wounds, which act as gateways to infections that can be passed on to people. Don't be fooled: Most chickens who wind up on American dinner plates bear no resemblance to the healthy-looking, active birds you may have been led to expect.
The ASPCA is calling on the chicken industry to do better—but to make sure they're paying attention, we need to show them that people like you care about how chickens are raised, too.
Visit TruthAboutChicken.org to learn more, then add your voice to the chorus of concerned Americans asking the chicken industry to change its inhumane practices.
By insisting on slower-growing chickens and better conditions, we can reduce suffering and raise healthier birds who may be less likely to spread dangerous infections like salmonella. But to get the chicken industry to move in the right direction, they need to see that people like you are paying attention—and counting on the industry to do what's right for chickens and consumers.
We need you on our side: Please tell the chicken industry it's time for slower-growing chickens raised in safer, more humane conditions. Speak out today by adding your name to our Truth About Chicken petition.
These animals should still be treated humanely and have decent lifecycles.
I can happily condone eating animals; we're omnivores and a purely vegetable diet is difficult to maintain - and, in the modern day, expensive. Eating meat isn't intrinsically morally wrong, it's the way we've turned other living things into simple commodities that is the problem.
Ok, PETA lady... Whatever. Keep trying to force your lifestyle on others. It won't work.
Anyhow, I'm all for humane, ethical treatment of farm animals. Is there a good list of true humane, free range, organically raised, drug free animals? I try to eat less animal protein to do my part to reduce the carbon footprint (less demand, less product, right?), but I do get a (totally normal) meat craving now and then. I'm mostly pescetarian (sp?), but I appreciate a well cooked steak maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I just like to be aware that what I eat isn't causing any suffering and isn't toxic (outside of the ridiculous cholesterol and fat intake).
It never ceases to amaze me that people think that animals raised for humane consumption do not suffer. Are you kidding? How would you like to be torn away from your Mother when you are just a baby? That is, if you were lucky enough to have gotten to stay with her. Male dairy calves are often thrown away to starve and die when they are born. Then how would you like to be loaded onto a truck and hauled off to a slaughter house where if you are lucky you are killed before they eviscerate you and skin you. The unlucky ones do not die and are butchered while still alive. This makes no difference if the animal is raised in a so called "humane" way or not. Geez get a grip. If you eat it-you cause misery for the animal at some point.
depends, some mothers need their children takin at birth. If I didn't know any different how would I know what to feel bout it, and some animals aren't even their when their young is born. So should we only raise them to eat? I mean when does being humane and being unrealistic bout the world and life become the same? when we get our 51,300 birds on day one most have just hatched that day and a lot still have shell attached to them, they aren't with their mom long enough to establish a strong bond and forget bout her by the next day if not later that day, a hatchling can live without food or water for 7 days after hatch off what the egg provided, this is so if born without a parent they can live long enough to find their own way to food and water in the natural world. that and we show them where everything is like their parent would, instinct tells them how to eat and drink, you don't teach a baby how to suck milk from a tit, they just know how. its like an orphanage we are foster parents. that's like saying an adopted kid born into it can't be and feel the same love as someone from their natural parents... its just ignorant, and slaughter cows stay with their mom till weened, if your dog had pups you going to keep all of them till they die so you don't hurt their feelings? no as soon as their old enough you get rid of them, like you moving out at 18, well I assume you did, but chances are you still live with them cause you have attachment issues. and no cow male or female is just thrown away, have you seen beef prices? a stud bull is quite valuable as meat alone cause they are a higher percent of usable meat, and got to keep some to breed cause you can't have the father breeding the daughters, just like in people it causes birth defects. and sorry but my father has worked in a slaughter house and they are killed b4 they are butchered, usually b4 they even know anything is wrong and there not at a normal farm. shot between the eyes, most the time don't even feel pain and only for a sec if they do but I know that 99% of the time its painless for them. Do some research and visit if not even work for some of those places b4 you open your ignorant mouth... go suck a potato and let the meat eaters and farmers who know first hand what they go thru be in meat eater peace, cause almost every farmer I've met is a moral one and doesn't want to cause their animals any undo pain or stress cause then they don't breed or eat right or become feral things that are hard to deal with and that's bad for business... most you people on here are ignorant to the world and lived a sheltered life. all my animals are treated fairly, I just want to know where's the people to watch karma and life make sure I get treated fair whether I deserve it or not? and to doctor me when I break a leg or get sick or bug bitten? life is cruel and most animals got it easy, I admit some have bad handlers but that's few and far between in this modern age
You people need to grow up and experience life, how come your not protesting diamonds mined by slaves or the slave labor the Chinese use prisoners for to make half the crap you by at walmart? atleast the food only has a short time to suffer, a slave has till naturally dead. people treat eachother inhumanely all the time and for no good reason, atleast the slaughter house is feeding people not just being mean or cruel to sell you crap merchandise you don't need and can live without
Dear Carol,
Have you ever thought about how many animals are maimed and killed for your grains for your non meat diet? Millions. Rabbits shredded by shredding machines, prairie dog burrows destroyed as well as them. Mice, anything living in those field. Pat yourself on the back. You're not torturing animals. Oh wait yes you are.
Granted much can be done to stop the senseless torture of argribusiness animals, but think about how many die for yours in a very cruel way. Every step you take, every breath you take kills another living being. But of course cows have lovelier eyes than a fly or lizard. Where does one draw the line?

DELAWARE — JEGS.com Chevrolet driver Cody Coughlin already had high aspirations for 2012 after a solid rookie season in the JEGS CRA All-Stars Tour, but the addition of title-winning crew chief Butch VanDoorn has the 16-year-old Coughlin aiming even higher.
Asked about goals for the '12 JEGS CRA All-Stars Tour season, Coughlin said two words: "Definitely championship."
Coughlin was the runaway winner of the series' Howie Lettow Rookie of the Year Award and finished sixth in the overall points standings after posting four top-fives and seven top-10s in 11 races last year.
Then, in late December, the JEGS.com Chevrolet team added VanDoorn, who was crew chief for last year's JEGS CRA All-Stars Tour champion and tuned his brother John VanDoorn to CRA Super Series championships in 2009 and 2010.
"There's no reason why we won't have a shot at the championship," Coughlin said. "I think we'll have a shot at a lot of wins, too."
Coughlin displayed consistency and maturity beyond his years in 2011, finishing on the lead lap eight times while crashing out of only one race. Those numbers are usually unheard of from such a young driver.
His success caught the eye of VanDoorn, a youngster himself at 19 years old.
"He's got a lot of potential," VanDoorn said. "He comes from a racing family, though it was drag racing, so the bar is set high for him. Last year being his first year in a car, he did real well. He's impressed me at a lot of different tracks."
VanDoorn was particularly impressed after Coughlin's performance at Rockford Speedway in Loves Park, Ill. Coughlin started on the pole and fought hard for the victory at the tough quarter-mile track. In the closing laps, Coughlin challenged VanDoorn's driver, Erik Jones, for the win. Coughlin raced clean and ended up second.
"I want to race people clean, and I want them to race me clean, too," Coughlin said. "Not racing clean will come back to haunt you if you drive like that."
That runner-up finish was Coughlin's best of 2011, though he also had top-fives at Dixie, Owosso and the treacherous Winchester Speedway. He finished in the top 10 in seven of the last eight races.
"I am thankful to God and to my family for a great season last year," Coughlin said. "But I also want to keep building on our success and contend for race wins and the championship. With Butch, we have all the pieces together to do that."
VanDoorn, too, wants to continue his current streak of three consecutive titles.
"I'd definitely like to continue that streak with Cody," VanDoorn said. "We've got the equipment and everything lined up. I'd like to get some poles, some top-fives, some solid finishes every race and finish every lap to win that championship."

NHL Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, January 4th (All times Eastern)
New York Rangers (20-20-2) at Toronto Maple Leafs (21-16-5), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - Fresh off a victory in the 2014 Winter Classic, the Toronto Maple Leafs will aim for their first four-game winning streak of the season when they host the New York Rangers in Saturday's Original Six clash at Air Canada Centre.
Toronto had won two straight heading into Wednesday's outdoor game, which was hosted by the Detroit Red Wings at Michigan Stadium. The Maple Leafs battled the Red Wings and snowy conditions en route to a 3-2 shootout decision in Ann Arbor.
After both teams scored once in the shootout, Tyler Bozak lit the lamp as Toronto's third and final shooter to allow the Maple Leafs to skate away with a memorable victory. Bozak skated through the middle and fired a low shot past the stick side of Jimmy Howard for the win.
James van Riemsdyk and Bozak supplied Toronto's regulation goals, while Jonathan Bernier turned aside 41-of-43 shots to allow the Leafs to jump over Detroit in the Atlantic Division standings and win their third straight. The Leafs are one point ahead of Detroit for fourth place, but are still five points behind Montreal for the third of the Atlantic's three automatic playoff berths.
"It was something really special that, as a hockey player, you're never going to forget that," Bernier said of playing in the Winter Classic.
Toronto is beginning a brief two-game homestand tonight and also will welcome the New York Islanders on Tuesday. The Leafs are 14-8-1 on home ice this season compared to a 7-8-4 mark everywhere else.
The Rangers had won four straight in Toronto before the Maple Leafs recorded a 4-3 regulation decision against the visiting Blueshirts on April 8 of last season. New York has won five of six in the series overall and posted a 2-1 shootout decision when the Leafs visited Madison Square Garden on Dec. 23.
New York had won two straight and four of five before getting slammed 5-2 in Pittsburgh on Friday. The Penguins led 4-0 after 40 minutes and were able to keep the Rangers at bay in the third period.
Mats Zuccarello picked up a goal and assist for the Rangers, while Henrik Lundqvist gave up all five goals on 28 shots in defeat.
"We didn't trust each other defensively and we gave them too much space," Zuccarello admitted. "Pittsburgh is a good team and it's easy to get confused about assignments when it's not tight."
In addition to the defeat, the Rangers also lost forward Derek Dorsett to a broken left fibula suffered while blocking a shot. Dorsett, who has three goals, two assists and 103 penalty minutes in 37 games this season, is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks of action.
The Rangers fell to 2-2-0 on a five-game road trip that wraps up tonight in Toronto. New York has been better on the road than at home this season, going 12-10-0 away from the Big Apple compared to an 8-10-2 mark at Madison Square Garden.

Tell me how i fix is no engine light on
2006 Mercedes-Benz C280 Problem Reports
Newest 2006 Mercedes-Benz C280 Problem Reports
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.
The interior wood trim and dash pad are likely to crack due to age and sun exposure.
The lower control arm bushings can wear and crack, resulting excessive movement at the control arm pivot point, leading to irregular and premature tire wear. Worn Ball joints can also cause similar tire wear symptoms. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) heater box is susceptible to mildew buildup. This can result in a musty odor from the HVAC system, most noticeable when the system is first turned on.
A rear tail light housing can fail causing the brake light on the affected side to be inoperative. Replacing the failed housing is commonly required to correct this issue.
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid. Over time leaking fluid could migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. If that happens a new harness and control module may be necessary to correct the problem.
As brake fluid becomes dirty over time, it can cause a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years to help prevent this issue.
A repetitive clicking noise from behind the center area of the dash panel is usually caused by a broken stepper motor actuating arm. The actuating arm controls the direction of air flow in the climate control system. Disassembly of the center console will be required to access and change the broken arm with the updated, reinforced part.
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
Inside grab handles, the upholstery on the center console cover, and door trim panels can delaminate. Most commonly replacement of the affected part is necessary.
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.

Martin Truex Jr. is on the pole for Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Showdown race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Jeff Gordon knows it will be difficult to match the feeling he gets racing after this season, but broadcasting could provide something close to it.
Sprint Cup regular Austin Dillon has the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the XFINITY Series final practice for the Hisense 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Ty Dillon tops the speed chart in the Final Practice session for the XFINITY Series Hisense 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Jeb Burton, Mike Bliss, Travis Kvapil, Brendan Gaughan, and Jeff Green failed to find enough speed to make the Coca-Cola 600 and will have to watch from the pits Sunday night.
Greg Biffle earned his season-best starting position in qualification for the Coca-Cola 600. He posted the fourth fastest time and rolls off the grid from the outside of the second row.
Matt Kenseth posted a lap of 194.252 mph in the final round of qualification and will lead the field to green Sunday night for the Coke 600. This is his first career pole at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Got a sec? We could really use your help. This week, we launched a new holiday video focusing on puppy mills and why you should never, ever shop at a pet store that sells puppies. You see, most pet store puppies come from puppy mills—you know, those large-scale breeding operations where dogs live in horrible conditions and never receive love. Well, every time you buy anything from a pet store that sells puppies, you're actually supporting this very cruel industry.
We think our video has a really great message and we'd love for it to go viral. That's where you come in. After you watch our "Puppies Are Not Toys" video, please share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, and kindly ask them to share it, too. Be sure to use the hashtag #NotAToy. We're counting on your help to reach millions of people with this important message.
Thank you!
This is ridiculous!! I am a pet store owner who DOES NOT get dogs from puppy mills!!!!! I can't believe you are trying to ruin small business' with your idiotic opinion. You get your facts straight before you try to take down small business'. Wouldn't suprise me if you teamed up with big box pet stores!! It is very sad what you are doing to our stores when you have no clue how we run our business! It is sad that people believe the crap you are putting on here
If small pet stores that sell puppies do not get them from puppies mills then I feel they should openly display where the puppies came from so that it can be checked out. How about that?
o my gosh you guys made me cry cuz i love animals so much i cant stand to see animals like that.
Holy cow. I have never seen any persuasive video that holds a match to that. This video is freaking AMAZING. Oh my god.
To "ridiculous" - If you are not using puppy mills as a source, I would say good for you and you should display your sources. All puppy mill info that I have read and seen encourages puppy buyers to do their own research, and if you are legit buyers will be able to verify that. The ASPCA did not dream up and digitize this video. This is real, and it is a real problem, and for ANYONE who cares about animals it is horrendous, and ANYONE who cares about animals wants it to stop. If you want to defend your personal business, that would make sense, but to call this information crap is so unbelievably foolish (perhaps ridiculous?) of you, as a business person and otherwise. This is a serious problem that needs attention, and if your business builds a good reputation, you have nothing to worry about and if you actually care about animals you would be in support of ending puppy mills. I don't care if you get your puppies from legitimate sources, after reading something like that I wouldn't give you business anyway. Get a clue.

DALLAS -- There were more troubles Tuesday night for the Dallas VA hospital, after a News 8 story last week in which veterans complained of poor quality of care at the facility.
The Office of Inspector General has just released a report critical of patient care and the long wait to get it.
In 2004, the Office of Inspector General called the Dallas VA Hospital the worst in the nation. And while current administrators say all of the old issues have been addressed, there are a number of local veterans who disagree.
Tony Mathis of Dallas has had to rely on the VA for his health care for five years.
I m not getting the quality of care I need, I know that, Mathis said.
He said he once waited six months to be outfitted with a pacemaker at the VA, and then another 11 hours in the doctor s office the day of his appointment.
From six in the morning until five in the afternoon, Mathis said. I hadn't eaten anything, I told them I hadn't eaten.
Mathis said he ultimately left and got his pacemaker through a private physician.
His experience appears to be supported by a report released last month by the Veterans Affairs Inspector General. Investigators found veterans are routinely having to wait months for certain treatments.
For example, five heart patients waited 89-to-138 days for heart monitors. One dialysis patient waited five months for a mapping procedure. No cardiology reviews were performed for 213 requests for heart monitors, and appointments were being scheduled without patient input or preferences.
VA officials defend their facility, but have agreed to fix the problems found in the report by hiring more doctors and increasing staff training.

November sees more interesting obituaries from the "Portland Guardian". The "Horsham Times" is now available at Trove, so I have included obituaries from that paper.
Read about a long time manager of "Burswood", the Henty homestead, a man who grew new teeth at 80 and two women who lived in the same houses for over 60 years.
Benjamin EDRICH – Died November 18, 1887, Portland. The "Portland Guardian" reported at the time of Benjamin EDRICH's death that another resident "had been removed by the hand of the Grim Destroyer". Benjamin had been in the hotel business for many years.
George BUSH – Died November 18, 1909, Portland. George BUSH arrived in Portland in 1853 in his early twenties. A seaman, George was instrumental in rescuing passengers from the wreck of the "Jane" at Bridgewater some years later.
Peter GOLDSMITH – Died November 23, 1909, Portland. Peter GOLDSMITH arrived in Portland in 1853 aboard the "Cornelius" captained by Thomas H. CLARKE. Clarke's son Thomas Denton CLARKE was mentioned in the October Passing of the Pioneers. Four months after his arrival Peter GOLDSMITH married Miss BLAY and they had nine children. He was 85 at the time of his death.
Michael TOBIN – Died November 13, 1916, Murtoa. The "Horsham Times" reported the death of Michael Tobin, a Justice of the Peace and former Councillor with the Dunmunkle Shire. Michael arrived at Geelong in 1853, with his parents from Kilkenny, Ireland. He worked with his father who ran a carrying business to the diggings. Michael later lived in the Warrnambool area where he married Mary CLUNE. In 1872, Michael was one of the first settlers in the Wimmera.
George JARRATT – Died November 1919, Portland. George JARRATT arrived in 1848 to Portland and married soon after. He and his wife, a daughter of Thomas KEAN, had 12 children.
Rose Genevive McCRYSTAL – Died November 8, 1920, Caulfield. Rose McCRYSTAL, was the daughter of well-known Portland resident Pat McCrystal. She married W. PEARSON, and moved to Hamilton. After her husband was killed in a buggy accident, she moved back to Portland where she married Antonio RIZZO in 1891. They later returned to Hamilton.
William POLAND – Died November 20, 1922, Portland. William POLAND arrived in Portland in 1856. He met Edward HENTY and acquired the position of manager of "Burswood", the Henty's original homestead. William held the position for 25 years.
Mrs ROW – Died November 3, 1923, Portland. I enlarged this obituary to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
Mrs Row was 94 when she died in 1923, however, the obituary reads she arrived in Portland in 1836 as a married woman! I think this may have been a typo.
Mrs Isabella ROBB – Died November 8, 1927, Portland. Mrs ROBB managed to pass Mrs ROW (above) for the longest time in one house. She lived in the same house for 65 years. Originally from Scotland, Isabella arrived in Portland aboard the "Indian Ocean" in 1854 with her husband William. She was 96 when she died and left seven children, 23 grandchildren, 29 great-great grandchildren and one great-great-great grandchild. She was buried at the North Portland Cemetery.
Sarah MILLARD – Died November 10, 1927, Paschendale. Sarah MILLARD was the daughter of William MILLARD of Narrawong. She married William Henry ANNETT in 1870 and they 10 children, eight sons and two daughters. William, or Henry as he was known, was also known as the "Father of Wallacedale". He died only weeks earlier than Sarah on September 29. Unfortunately I missed his obituary for the September Passing of the Pioneers, as it appeared in an October issue, but it will definitely appear in September 2012. Henry's obituary is one of the best I have read, and what a life he led, especially before he married Sarah. If you can wait until next year, this is the link: Obituary of William Henry Annett. I also spent too much time trying to find a link between Sarah MILLARD and William MILLARD, the winner of the first Stawell Gift. He may have been Sarah's brother, but there were a lot of Millards. Research for another time.
Agnes MUIR – Died November 10, 1942, Horsham. Agnes MUIR arrived in Brisbane with her new husband Ralph CHEQUER in 1886 aboard the "Roma", having married in their home country of Scotland before departing. Over the years, they spent time in Melbourne, Portland and Quantong. At Quantong, the CHEQUERS cleared the land and planted orchards and for thirty years Agnes helped Ralph with the orchard work. One memorable event in the CHEQUERS was in 1911 when they travelled to England for the coronation of King George V.
James COLES – Died November 18, 1944, Stawell. James COLES was born in the mid-1850s close to the Melbourne GPO. After time in Avoca, James moved to Stawell as a teenager, later to marry Louisa GILHAM. He remained in Stawell until his death at 91, aside from a short stint at nearby Fyans Creek.
Thomas THOMPSON – Died November 17, 1945, Portland. Thomas THOMPSON from Ireland began his time in Australia in Western Australia as a miner. Unsuccessful he headed to Victoria and the Portland district.
Annie KERR – Died November 1947, Portland. Annie KERR was the daughter of early Portland residents, her father a doctor. Interesting that he had not practiced before his arrival in Portland! Annie went on to marry John NEWTON.
Joseph Levi Richard BAKER – Died November 27, 1950, Hamilton. Joseph BAKER was born around 1877 and lived in Collins Street Hamilton. He enjoyed tennis and summer trips to Portland. The obituary reported he was known throughout the Commonwealth for his calligraphy skill. He left a wife Bertha and two daughters.
Carl Frederick Wilhelm PULS – Died November 12, 1953, Lower Norton. Carl PULS had many claims to fame, but one was his ability to grow new teeth at the age of 80. Carl was a respected pioneer of the Horsham district and was sadly found dead by his car after a trip to gather wood.
John BERRY – Died November 12, 1953, Horsham. John BERRY'S death came on the same day as Carl ULS (above). The BERRY family were pioneers in the Blackheath district, north of Horsham. They later moved to Horsham and John attended the Horsham State School. John married Ethel KNIPE of Ballarat and worked at Horsham car dealer Wilson Bolton for over 40 years. He held one of the first driving licences in Victoria but had driven previous to that, in a time when a licence was not required…scary. I noted that John had a brother James from Hamilton. This may have been the same James BERRY of James Berry & Sons Jewellers, a long established business in Hamilton when I was growing up there in the 1970s and 80s.

Graham Henry believes the All Blacks were victims of match fixing during the 20-18 quarter-final loss to France in the 2007 World Cup.
In his biography, 'Graham Henry Final Word', Henry revealed that he contemplated match-fixing as the only logical explanation for the All Blacks' upset 20-18 loss to Les Bleus.
Henry analysed the game on video for his report to the NZRU and found Barnes had awarded only two penalties to New Zealand during the game. His analysis was that France deserved to be penalised up to 40 times.
His gut feeling, according to his biography, was that the video 'would confirm that referee Wayne Barnes and his touch judges, Jonathan Kaplan from South Africa and Tony Spreadbury from England, hadn't exactly covered themselves in glory at the Millennium Stadium, that they had missed an obvious forward pass when France scored its match-winning try – a pass so forward everyone in the stadium had witnessed it except the referee – and that Barnes had been pretty lenient on the French at the breakdowns, probably costing the All Blacks the game'.
Henry's video had three different angles and featured statistical breakdowns of lineouts, scrums, penalties, tackle counts, territory and possession. On those statistics, the All Blacks dominated. They had an overwhelming 73% territorial advantage, winning 166 rucks to France's 42 and making only 73 tackles compared with France's 331.
A mind-boggled Henry was so stunned by his findings, he told the NZRU it should pressure the IRB to institute an inquiry. He also said it was 'incomprehensible' that the IRB did not have strategies in place to investigate bizarre matches.
The NZRU chose not to push for an investigation.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Got my calendars fast and they look awesome hopefully it will produce me some business!
Loved our magnets!!!
We loved the magnets we got from MagnetStreet. A great price for a great quality.
The timeframe on getting magnets back once the order was placed was very fast.
Clean, Simple and Impactful
After searching a number of sites, which only offered limited calendar magnet design/selection, I happily came across Magnet Street. There were countless designs & layouts to choose from and the simplicity of the site, along with the myriad fonts and layout options made my project a breeze to navigate. Affordable, top quality, quick shipping - all my needs were met, and my expectations exceeded.
Perfect Size
It is a perfect size, colorful, I am very confident giving it away to prospects....I would have appreciate it if the design offers a biggest area for the Company's logo/name.

Comments about Sturmey-Archer Sturmey Archer S80 8Speed Hub:
i have had no problems what soever and would recommend this hub highly good value for the price what can i say I will never ride anything with a derailleur again
Comments about Sturmey-Archer Sturmey Archer S80 8Speed Hub:
Been fairly good - some gear skipping unless perfectly adjusted - more tweaking necessary than really should be, but hasn't yet broken and have done hundreds of heavy kilometres. One important trick - the wheel-mounted cable adjuster moves - so screw it right in so it can't go any further and then do the adjustment on the twist-shift, which seems to be more stable - and keep checking that little yellow indicator and white pointer registration mark on the back hub.One important thing - these hubs are not rated by the maker for off-road use, which I suspect would kill it pretty quickly as the loads imposed can be huge. Have tried it out and treated it as a single speed - lock it in one gear and leave it there.That said, it's put up with me for a while now - I weigh 100 kilos and have a tendency to stomp on the pedals and stand up and swing for acceleration when I'm riding to work: it hasn't self destructed....It looks better than the Shimano Nexus.....but I'd buy Shimano next time round for the sake of less ongoing fiddling: it's like owning an old English car!
Comments about Sturmey-Archer Sturmey Archer S80 8Speed Hub:
My overall experience with this hub has been VERY BAD. I have had 2 hubs fail one at 500 miles and the second at around 100. I will not be mounting a 3rd one.My list of issues with this hub:1. Odd gearing 1st is 1:1 and the rest are up from there making it difficult to get correct gearing my LBS didn't run a gear inch calculation before selling me the bike and I had to change the front chain ring to make the bike usable. I ended up running a 22t chain ring to a 25t rear sprocket which looks silly but its the only way I could find to get the gearing in a reasonable range. 2. Poor ShiftingWhen riding this hub easily it performed well but as soon as any significant torque was applied the performance deteriorated quickly. When shifting down in the range the hub shifted ok but when shifting up it revealed its true colors. It appeared to me that when ridden hard the gears tended to seat in place and not want to move up. Sturmey states that you should "stop pedaling" when shifting but even when you do stop it sometimes took several seconds for the hub to actually shift into gear. The problem is that it is impossible to know if the shift has happened or not. The kicker is that if you pedal between gears the hub is susceptible to damage. 3. Easily DamagedThe fact that I have destroyed 2 hubs in less than 600 miles would lead me to conclude that this hub is basically unusable. Buy and ride at your own risk.

Comments On May 24, 2015:got this for xc races works good plenty of room for tools and the hydration pack works well the only thing i don't like is the buckle on the strap that goes across your chest
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 20, 2014:I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing....
Too small to pack anything of use. Poor construction. Poor design. No shoulder or arm protection because the shoulder cups sit in the wrong place. Takes a long time to put on and take off. Agree with other reviewer that bladder is junk.
This thing is neither a good roost protector Nor a good pack.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 18, 2014:The idea is great. I want a pack for all-day rides, with the protection of a chest protector. Wearing a pack on top of a full front-and-back chest protector/roost guard is too bulky and uncomfortable. So this seemed like the perfect solution. That is where the positives ended.
Pros: Overall idea Very comfortable (if absolutely nothing is in it) May be ok for short rides (if all you packed was water and some Skittles)
Cons: Too small to pack the essentials (water, food, essential tools, patch kit, CO2, small first aid kit, ... Skittles.
Bladder is just junk, to be replaced with CamelBak stuff. 70oz. is too small for a Summer 100 miler. Buttons on bladder compartment are weak and come open easily. When you put the full bladder in the pack it pretty much takes up all the available space. So, when you put the rest of your gear in, it becomes so rigid that it feels like you have a 2x4 under your shirt. It no longer conforms to the shape of your spine. Tool compartment material is thin and will wear out with tools bouncing about even slightly.
I am 6'2". Shoulder cups are too small and closer to your neck than your shoulders. Useless. Maybe I'm asking too much of this pack. I wanted it to work out. In the end, it is going back to the store with zero rides under its belt. Didn't even make it out of the garage. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Comments On Nov 06, 2014:Great protection and versatility with removable shoulder pieces or just wear the pack. The pack could be a little bigger. Comfortable fit. Great price. Offers good roast protection. I would recommend this product.

Comments On Aug 23, 2014:Nice to have a hydration pack and chest protector in one, fits well and is comfortable for all day rides. Only complaint is the pouch/pocket setup. wish it was better for keeping stuff secure....but not a deal breaker. Clips are a little funky at first but once you get used to them they work just fine. Overall its a great setup, would buy again.

Comments On Aug 13, 2013:The clip for the carry pouches is in the wrong place. The hydration pouch keeps coming open. Fly used really weak small snaps. If fly would move the clip strap so it closes everything together it would work a lot better.The clips that hold the chest plate on, are too big. When the chest plate is removed you can feel the buckles flapping. Also no belly strap when the chest plate is removed. On fun rides with the chest protector removed the pack moves around and when jumping it feels like it wants to fly off, keeps hitting the back of my helmet.

Comments On Aug 14, 2013:This roost guard/hydration pack works perfectly and it has numerous pockets to carry your tools while your out on the long trail rides.

He completed his first year of pathology residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1978, was a post-doctoral fellow with Prof. Jack Strominger in the Department of Biochemistry at Harvard University from 1978 through 1980, and completed pathology training at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 1981. He worked as an attending Pathologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital from 1981-1991, serving as an Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School during the same period.
He returned to Yale Medical School in 1991 as a Professor of Pathology and Immunobiology, and also became a Professor of Dermatology in 1998. Dr. Pober was named the Director of the Molecular Cardiobiology Program at the Boyer Center for Molecular Medicine in 1991 and founded the Vascular Biology and Transplantation (VBT) Program, which succeeded Molecular Cardiobiology, in 1999. In 2007, he stepped down as the director of the VBT program, becoming Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Immunobiology for the Section of Human and Translational Immunology. He was named Ensign professor of Immunobiology in 2011 and Bayer professor of Translational medicine in 2012. Dr. Pober has been honored as a Searle Scholar, an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association and a MERIT awardee of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. He received the Warner Lambert-Parke Davis award in 1988 and the Rous Whipple Award in 2011 from the American Society of Investigative Pathology and the Earl Benditt award from the North american Vascular Biology Organization in 2014.

He is co-founder and Co-Director of the Joint Yale-Cambridge University Biomedical Research Program and was elected a Fellow Commoner of Trinity Hall, Cambridge University in 2012..
Dr. Pober's research involves understanding the functions of vascular endothelial cells in inflammatory and immune responses and, reciprocally, how inflammation and immunity affect vascular health and function. He is particularly interested in how insights from experiments with human cells and tissues can be used to improve organ replacement therapy, to improve tissue engineering and to regenerate injured tissues.
