For God's sake, is it really so hard for a tank to wait 10 seconds and let everyone get the quest before charging in?
I even broke my own rule and did not heal the second tank who did this to me. He had been requested to stop so the group could get the quest, and he just kept charging. I know it was wrong, but it was so satisfying to watch that tank faceplant.

It's the timer, it's creating a false sense of urgency I think

When I got to the new bosses as a tank, we proceeded with caution and one-shot everything.
When I got to the new bosses as a DPS, I wiped more often than a bad PuG on Halion.

Is it too much to ask that dps not scream "GOGOGOGOGO" the instant they zone in... even before the tank is in?

It is not wrong to prevent or punish people harming you.

I know what you mean...though I have to say, I got a really nice one today, who pulled too early, but when I mentioned not getting a quest, he offered to queue again. unfortunately the timer ran out and we weren't able to do it (he actually did initiate the queue), but it was the thought that counted

I had to do the bloody earth portal twice before I could actually get the quest.
evidently it is too much to ask to wait :(

I support your actions fully. There have been times when I have let an over-zealous tank, or a psychotic DPS'er die because that is the only way they will learn.
Most of the time it works out. Sometimes I get kicked because "lol healr sux0rs!"

I know I am guilty of this today. But in my defense after the 10th time of chain queue'ing killing princess (4 the 1st time and 6 the 2nd), I think my brain went numb and went into auto pilot mode. It took me 30 attempts to get the shield to drop.

Not picking on you specifically, but this event is lasting for at least a week. Is there really any good reason for doing this sort of thing?

Nicely done. This game is full of rude and arrogant people and if someone does not have the common decency to wait a few seconds, then in turn they do not deserve the common decency of expecting to be healed.

Hmm. I see why you did it and I'd probably do the same in your shoes.
However, I'm not sure I agree with how zealous some of the comments sound on this. I tanked those bosses last night and whenever I waited at the beginning for any reason - make sure people can get the quest, see if anyone's asking tactics - whatever, there was always someone saying "just go" or more often, charging ahead and pulling for me. Once that was the healer rather than a DPS.
I think some - not all - tanks rush ahead because they feel that if they don't, the group will either charge ahead or grief them.
So yes, maybe sometimes tanks time it wrong or do it for bad reasons. But maybe sometimes the other group members are herding us on :)

I've had the opposite experience. The tank is being slow and doing a "is everyone ready" before pulling.
Here's a few party tells I've been using.
/p Please don't stand in fire
/p Please interrupt as much as possible
/p Move if there's an ice spike below your feet

To get the one drop he wanted from the event, and be done with it. Likewise, I will probably do the same thing as I have SEVERAL alts who can use some of the drops.

I zoned into a group that had wiped with immediate rez requests. I rez'd the tank first and dropped a heal on him. By the time, I got the first DPS up and healed, the tank charged in and pulled the boss...I ignored him and kept rez'ing ppl. He was like, oh I guess people weren't ready yet. Gee, you think?

is it just me or does the current loot system suck? it's purely a game mechanic and as such, couldn't an intelligent person devise something better? how about a reward for each party member and leave it at that? wouldn't it make more sense to buy something "crafted" from a player or NPC? it just seems hypocritical for a game maker to caution players about spending too much time in-game and then encourage grinding for a drop because it only drops 30% of the time or (much)less, that is then rolled on by 5 or more ppl.

I did it on multiple healers and its allways the first 5 seconds I buff and/or check for class mix to see which buff to use. Kings or might, strength or stoneskin, it was amazing the number of tanks that would allready be pulling and in combat by that point, while i am trying to chase down the npc while he is out of combat

If only they made the quest sharable, then only one person would need to get it before pulling (probably the tank, so they can still pull before the dps did). I left a group mid-boss-fight without ever healing the tank because they didn't let me get the quest (and I am QUICK to buff) and they couldn't share it (I thought at the time they wouldn't share it). I healed the dps, because afaik it was the tank that charged on ahead.

Rated 5 out of 5�by md14 BEST NET OUT THERE I owned a Callaway Tri-Ball 7' Net for two years and liked it. The downside was putting trying to put it away. The fiberglass rods didn't come out of the nylon net sleeves easily so I would usually take the rear tri-pod rod out and put the net outside my garage with the main arch still set up for the summer and completely disassemble it for the winter. My second year I had to tape a few of the nylon arch areas where the fiberglass rods were wearing through but I got another summer's use out of it. In taking it down for the winter I realized I needed a new net. Come spring I mistakenly bought the Callaway Tri-ball 6' Net... I hated it! The smaller frame needed to be tied down to prevent it from sliding back each time as the ball hit the target (using a 6 iron) or even tip over! After a month the nylon around the main frame was starting to fray so I returned it. I took a shot and ordered the SKLZ Quickster 8' Golf Net and love it. The main advantage is the ability to easily disassemble the unit and store it in the bag. It takes 5 minutes to either put it up or take it down. The net and target are extremely durable and I can forsee using this net for many years to come. Having used three different golf nets this is by far the best value and best functioning net on the market. August 11, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by AZ well made product This net is fast and simple to put up and take down....i use it to warm up the muscles and hit the driver before a round. Many golf courses do not have practice ranges and if you get into the habit of using this before you head out your swing wont feel like a unfolded lawn chair on the first tee thus scoring better early.

I asked Dwight what David Lee said to him at the start of the second half, when Dwight looked at Lee in disbelief. Dwight said he was told that Lee "wasn't trying to do it." Then Dwight added: "You can look at the play and see it for yourself."
Dwight also said he would "take care of it later."
The Lakers play the Warriors one more time this regular season at Staples Center on April 12.
kobe and the lakers better make dwight #1 option that game bc hes gunna go off. and i really hope no body gets in his way and keeps the ball out of his hands on O bc he'll be grabbing and swatting everything on D that game. dude was pissed at lee for that obvious elbow. refs screwed with the lakers all game....not the reason we lost but did not help at all
Kobe is upset at the Hawks, and Dwight at the Warriors......now how about we think of those things every game, no matter who it is and let them both go off on whoever. Everyone should fall into place after that and then we win games.

Panetta: Layoffs unlikely over 'fiscal cliff'
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 4:30pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is assuring Pentagon workers they will not face layoffs immediately if the government cannot avert the year-end federal tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff."
In a letter to all Defense Department employees Thursday, Panetta said he does not believe the Pentagon's day-to-day operations would change dramatically in the days after the spending cuts went into effect.
He also said that if the Pentagon has to operate for an extended period on reduced funding, then layoffs or other personnel actions may have to be considered. He added that if layoffs are necessary, advance notice will be provided.

Comments about KS Lev Integra Seatpost:
My first experience with a dropper post. Pretty easy to install and set up. Good design and ergonomics of the shift lever. Small bit of play in the suspension part at full extension. Would expect no play at this price. Doesn't affect riding conditions at all though. Its just I know its there.

Comments about KS Lev Integra Seatpost:
I installed this seat dropper on my new Trek Superfly 9.9 Project One. It was easy to install and works perfectly. I've owned Rocshox Reverb and this post is more reliable. I also own a KS Lev dropper with the external cabling and have had no issues with the KS line and I ride my bike a LOT. The internal cabling allows you to put your bike into clamp style bike stands easily without the concern of crimping a cable or busting the nib on a hydraulic set up. This is a great dropper and in my opinion is the best on the market at the moment.

Comments about KS Lev Integra Seatpost:
Used a regular KS Lev for several years without problems so tried the integra on the new Santa Cruz Nomad. The integra uses the cable housing for the release mechanism instead of the cable itself, a strange setup that will not work well with many internal housing frames. Mine would not release smoothly. KS is aware of the problem and apparently an updated model will be out some time soon?

Pau has been playing too many minutes and it really hurts our transition game and our defensive rotations.
Ideally, that starting team gets us a lead by running out on the break and if we play a half court set, then Nash, Jodie, Kobe and Toine are all good perimeter shooters. Kobe, Toine and Nash can all dive and finish at the rim. So Howard has plenty space in the middle to operate with dangerous shooters on the perimeter and slashers on the wing.
Run up the score and then go to a bench that will slow the game down to secure the lead and drain clock.
If Mike Brown has done nothing else, he has made Jodie Meeks into a hell of a fan favorite. UTAH 30, LA 19.

Steve Earle was famously bewitched by the beauty of a Galway Girl. Visit the City of Tribes this summer and another Irish siren might just cast her spell over you, too
Steve Earle's famous tune, Galway Girl, tells the tale of a romantic encounter with a raven-haired girl on the long walk into Galway City. They dance and twirl along Salthill, before the blue-eyed beauty disappears leaving Steve Earle with nothing but a ticket home and a broken heart.
Galway Girl conjures up memories of fleeting summer romances for most people… that or Gerard Butler crooning (should that be crowing?) the song in the tearjerker P.S I love you.
Take a trip to Galway this July and you could find yourself in a similar situation as poor old Steve Earle thanks to one Imelda May. Ireland's Rockabilly queen is set to bring her vibrant style of good old-fashioned rock to the Galway Arts Festival. Ok, she's from Dublin not Galway, but she is raven-haired (apart from her trademark blonde twirl) and possesses the voice of a rockabilly angel. Besides, we're sure Steve Earle's girl never shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf and Van Morrison.
Imelda May isn't the only Irish performer set to stun The Galway Arts Festival. Oscar-winner Glen Hansard will take his melodious style of soft rock to the Big Top Concert and he's bringing his guitar-slinging buddy Damien Dempsey with him. The two should make for an interesting show, as their styles are nicely contrasted, with Dempsey being the hard rock to Hansard's softer roll. County Cork will be represented by brooding singer/songwriter Mick Flannery, who'll be accompanied by the West Cork Ukulele Orchestra (that's right, an entire orchestra of Ukuleles!). America has its stamp on the music side of things too with New York rockers Grizzly Bear and industry stalwart Josh Ritter also on the bill.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Apart from that trusty band of troubadours, there's a veritable cultural carnival destined for Galway this July. The Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre will perform Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Petrushka, and the high-flying trapeze artists Les Pepones will wow the crowds with their death-defying stunts. And as if that wasn't enough to get your cultural appetite truly whetted, the South African production of Mies Julie will also be staged. All of these wonderful shows and gigs will be set in the ever-epic Galway City, where a good time comes as standard.
So take "a stroll down the old long walk on a grand soft day", to Galway this July and who knows, you may find your very own Galway girl… or boy.
One thing you're guaranteed to find is a really great time.

Noggin, the story of the missing Book of Mormon manuscript intrigues me. I am curious what the generally accepted account is? Do most people believe that Lucy Harris stole them to prove to her husband that Joseph Smith was a fraud? If she did, mission accomplished, since Smith "decided" it was Gods will he not reproduce the missing text. How convenient. If he did try to reproduce it, and the original resurfaced, he'd be an obvious fraud, even to the gullible morons back then.
Also, was Smith really illiterate (but apparently fluent in sacred hieroglyphics)?

Inspired by teammate, Terrace fights to the end
Inspired by teammate who lost her father, Hawks place at state tourney
Genna Martin / The Herald
The Hawks cheer for Kelsey Watson (right) who won the sportsmanship award during their game against Bainbridge Saturday morning.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Mountlake Terrace's Maddy Kristjanson pitches in the second inning of their game against Bainbridge Saturday. The Spartans won 14-7.
Fight like a girl.
The Hawks fought their way to Day 2 of the state tournament, where they lost to Bainbridge 14-7 in a loser-out game at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey. The loss gave Mountlake Terrace a tie for seventh place with Wesco 3A South rival Shorecrest.
But Mountlake Terrace's motto was about more than softball. It was about fighting through adversity on the diamond or off. And perhaps no one has fought as much adversity this past year than senior utility player Kelsey Watson.
First Watson learned her mother Kellie's cancer had returned. Then Watson's father, former Lake Washington softball coach Mike Watson, suffered a fatal heart attack last August while driving home. The Hawks rallied around Kellie and Kelsey, with "fight like a girl" becoming the group's rallying cry.
All the while, Kelsey Watson kept contributing to Mountlake Terrace, a softball team her father was at one point the leading candidate to coach.
"Kelsey is probably one of the funniest people on our team," said Hawks first-year head coach Shannon Rasmussen. "She hasn't let things affect her. She comes out and does what she needs to do to get it done."
Watson missed the past two seasons with a herniated disc, but was able to return for her senior year. Along with fellow seniors Rene Bos and Hannah Fickle, Watson was a big part of Mountlake Terrace's postseason run.
Watson finished the regular season with a .328 batting average and a .389 on base percentage. She drove in 16 runs, scored 14 runs and struck out only five times in 70 at bats. Then she shined in the district tournament, hitting key hits to help Mountlake Terrace, the No. 4 team out of the loaded Wesco 3A South league, upset Wesco 3A North No. 1 seed Marysville Pilchuck and 3A South No. 2 seed Shorecrest -- which battled back to earn the district's third state berth.
"She just hit great for us and had some clutch RBI," Rasmussen said.
At the state tournament, the Hawks found some power. All the while, Kellie Watson looked on from the stands.
Mountlake Terrace, which had hit 15 homers coming into the state tournament, belted nine home runs in four games in Lacey, including grand slams in back-to-back innings in a dramatic 12-8 come-from-behind victory over Enumclaw that continued the Hawks' season into Saturday.
"Our bats came alive this weekend," said Hawks junior co-captain Maddy Kristjanson. "We hit the crap out of the ball."
Kristjanson, who was wearing a camouflage shirt with "Fight Like A Girl Mountlake Terrace Softball" written on the back, said Mountlake Terrace was ecstatic to just make it to Lacey. The Hawks wanted to show up and see how far they could go in the 3A state tournament.
"We're excited to be at state," she said. "We wanted to go as far as we could."
The Mountlake Terrace run -- including the upset of Enumclaw, which was 22-5 -- helped the Hawks feel like they made a statement at the state tournament.
"It was a fun ride," Rasmussen said. "I think we came out here and proved we belonged. We played with every team."
The Hawks' run ended with the 14-7 loss to Bainbridge. Mountlake Terrace sophomore Hannah Wilcox continued her power surge with her fourth home run of the tournament -- she had two homers coming in -- as the Hawks went down swinging.
"We knew she had power," Rasmussen said. "She was the first person to hit a home run on our team this year. She hit our first, our last and lots near the end."
After each state game the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association officials give a good sportsmanship award to a member of each team. Kelsey Watson, who was named to the Wesco 3A South first team, received the sportsmanship honor for Mountlake Terrace in the last game of her high school career.
"Kelsey has had a phenominal season, with everything she's been through," Rasmussen said. "She's just been great to have around."

We Make Life Easier for Expats
Connecting global minds in 390 cities around the world
InterNations is the first international community for all people living and working abroad. Founded in 2007 by three young entrepreneurs from Germany (former expatriates themselves), it has become the biggest expatriate network worldwide.
Our website now unites more than 1 million expats and global minds in all countries around the world. As a network based on trust, we help our members to find other expatriates in a similar situation, with comparable interests and needs.
InterNations helps expats to feel at home abroad, meet people and find information about their new environment: "Make life easier for expats!"
InterNations members keep in touch with old friends and business contacts – or make new ones. In addition to networking online, our members meet up at local get-togethers around the globe, specifically geared towards the foreign community in town.
InterNations aims to make life easier for expats. In our Forum or our Discussion Groups, you can exchange expat-specific tips and advice.
Our Country and City Guides, as well as our Expat Magazine, provide a helpful resource for all things related to moving and living abroad: for example, information on jobs, tax issues, medical services, education, expatriation, and relocation.
Last but not least, we believe that we can truly make a difference together. Change starts with each and every one of us. Expatriates often tend to be highly qualified and comparatively well-off; other people are unfortunately not as lucky. Therefore, we have thought of a way to give back to our communities.
The InterNations Volunteer Program is a worldwide initiative that involves several thousand members, who donate not "just" financial gifts, but also their time and talents to people in need. This is your chance to participate in monthly volunteering activities.
InterNations is present in every country around the globe. We offer one worldwide membership for expats everywhere.
InterNations reaches out to the international community: diplomats, IGO and NGO staff, foreign correspondents, expatriate employees of multinational companies, and their families.
We also welcome "global citizens" who simply enjoy exploring another culture and living overseas, as well as those with strong ties to expat circles (e.g. journalists or "repatriates"). Internationality and diversity are among our strongest qualities.
InterNations is not only a global network. We are present locally in over 190 countries and nearly 390 cities worldwide.
It is the perfect platform to discuss life and culture in your new home away from home and to get info on your current city of residence – from shopping for food over language learning to purchasing property.
But no matter where we are: we always make sure that InterNations members can communicate, interact, and socialize in a safe and professional environment. We have high quality standards for membership and "netiquette".
We want everybody to feel welcome: after all, "nobody stands alone" is a motto central to the InterNations spirit.
We also take the concerns of our members seriously. Therefore, our site is pro-actively moderated to prevent abuse. Privacy, data protection, and security are top priorities for us. Your personal information will be in good hands.

Arguably one of the most popular teams in the National Football Conference is the Atlanta Falcons. This franchise, which debuted in the National Football League in 1966, has quickly become a favorite in the south. Since entering the league, Atlanta has won one conference championship and four division championships.
The Falcons have been working up toward a Super Bowl win, but have yet to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Since their debut, Atlanta has only made one Super Bowl appearance, which was in 1999 against the Denver Broncos. Ultimately, the Falcons lost Super Bowl XXXIII, 34-19.
The team's latest appearance in the playoffs came in 2010 when they made into the postseason after winning the NFC South divisional title. The Falcons lost the divisional championship game to the Green Bay Packers, 48-21.
Since entering the league, three players have made it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame after spending some time in Atlanta: Deion Sanders, Eric Dickerson and Tommy McDonald. The history of the franchise is promising to fans who believe that the Falcons will one day bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

World's Largest Promotional Products Store!
Get live help from a real rep.
(844) 806-1306
There are several valid reasons why we should consider america made promotional products for our brand building efforts. First of all, doing so would show our sense of patriotism. Who would love American made products than Americans themselves? Made in USA labels on the products that we will buy means that "all or almost all" are manufactured in the USA. The label is subjected to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Promoting your brand using america made promotional merchandise can be an effective marketing strategy because you can channel the patriotic consumerism into your company.
You might also like: Bulk Rubber Ducks, Bulk Stopwatches, Bulk Wipes
So where did the Made in USA label come from? For nearly a decade beginning in 1960 until the late 1970s, the United States saw an increase in trade imbalance. Statistics revealed that in 1960s, foreign goods only made up 8 percent of American purchases. Today, that number has increased as approximately 6 out of 10 American purchases come from overseas. In 2010 alone, the trade deficit was at $497.8 billion, according to the Federal Government. With the economy still recovering from recession, there is a need to push for america made products with logo to drive the manufacturing sector and give the economy a huge boost.
Pushing for america made giveaways can have a huge impact on the American economy. Despite the issue about decreased imports, the United States remains as the leading producer of manufactured goods. A recent statistics by Moodys Economy.com revealed spending an additional $3.33 on america made merchandise with imprint will generate almost 10,000 new American jobs. When you spend your dollars on america made products as giveaway, you are supporting American labor and gives an assurance that what you spend on these items will remain on American soil. At the same time, you are doing your part in putting an end to unemployment.
We also recommend: Personalized Wine Bags, Personalized Towels, Personalized Tissues
On the advertising side, putting your logo on america made merchandise can be a good way to attract potential customers.

Human connections may not heal us, but they shore us up.
I wander through a community center searching for a certain group. In one room, I find myself with a bunch of Little League managers. Not close.
I wander into another room, this one with serious-looking adults. It turns out to be a meeting about sex predators. Nope.
Through a doorway, I see a dozen men and women chatting, sipping coffee, munching cookies. For a moment, it's hard to believe this is the meeting – parents who struggle with something I don't want to even imagine. The death of a child.
Over the next three hours, I discover life can go on – no matter what.
Last month, I reported that, on average, someone dies in Orange County of an accidental prescription opioid overdose every two days.
After reviewing coroner records covering 350 deaths, I also found that a young person, one under 25, dies from an accidental opioid overdose every other week.
The people in the meeting are the parents of some of those children. Age doesn't matter when you bury a son or daughter.
One mother cries out for her deceased daughter, "Call me selfish, but that was my child I carried for nine months."
Down the hall, there is a meeting for younger people also put on by this new support group called S.O.L.A.C.E. – Surviving Our Loss with Awareness, Compassion and Empathy. Solace meets Wednesdays and was founded by Elaine Werner-Hudson, a mother who lost her son, Josh, several years ago to an opioid overdose.
I join that younger group. A father whose 22-year-old son recently died of a heroin overdose facilitates. The turnout includes a young woman whose boyfriend died. The victim's 17-year-old younger brother also is here.
The girlfriend explains she and her boyfriend had been dating since high school. It was only in the last year that he started seriously abusing opioids. She says his transformation was difficult to understand. Normal boyfriend was kind and gentle. Addict boyfriend was unpredictable and aggressive.
But that confusion was nothing compared to trying to come to terms with her boyfriend's death.
"I talk about anything," she confesses, "and it always circles back to him." She reports that after several months, her co-workers grew understandably tired of her mourning. "Now, I just say, 'I'm fine.'"
The victim's brother says little but allows why he's here. "I don't really enjoy these meetings, but I feel better for three or four days."
As they talk, I ask the victim's age and when he died. The age and date jolt me. I remember reviewing the young man's cause of death because it stood out. Most deaths involved long lists of drugs. His was simply "opiate intoxication."

How to Give Your Kids "Sticky Faith"
Build a better team
Build a better team
Typically in churches, young people are separated from adults in age-specific ministries. While that's often helpful, Sticky Faith research reveals that intergenerational relationships and worship are a vital factor in building faith that lasts. Building Sticky Faith means leveraging the scaffolding of existing relationships with extended family, neighbors, friends, coaches and teachers so that children and teenagers know these adults are there for them and "on their team."

The instructions say use twice daily, I find it too oily to use that much. I always use it at night and sometimes every other night. I usually mix it with night serum and it goes on beautifully and sinks in perfectly! I wake up with dewy skin and it is so soft. Very little is needed. So glad I added it into the rotation :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Another of Elizabeth's Gem
By Rachelle
from Cornwall
I love the Vitaminin C Nourishing Face Oil. I recently read about how beneficial oils were to moisturizing the skin. I was reluctant to use it on my nose due to rosacea, but applied it everywhere else. I used it particularly on my neck and decolleté area and noticed much improvement in that area. It takes very little and covers a whole area. I would highly recommend it.

I have to agree with Luv to shop, I too found it very greasy. I do not like waking up in the morning with that greasy feel on my skin so for that reason I would not buy it again.

This vitamin c oil absorbs quickly and leaves no 'slick' on the skin.You do not need to use a lot. It's excellent to blend with other serums and apply to dry areas wherever you have them..... arms,elbows,chests etc. Hands benefit as well.

I use argan oil (an expensive brandname one) with great success. However I decided to give this face oil a try as the price was right. Absolutely no comparison, used it for a month, with zero results. Contrary to the previous reviewer I found that it had a heavy consistency, very greasy feeling, did not absorb, and also had a strange smell. For those thinking I used too much, or that I don't exfoliate regularly, neither is the case. Will not buy again.

I can see some of my sun spots fading already and my skin is looking a bit brighter, I use it in conjunction with her Vitamin C face peel.Thank you for coming out with these great new products.

The Logan County Sheriff's Department is continuing its fight against prostitution in Logan County. Five suspects have been arrested on prostitution related charges during a sting operation. The Logan Sheriff's Department was assisted by the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department during this operation.
It happened in the Man area of Logan County yesterday. These deputies arrested five males for solicitation for prostitution.
Logan County Sheriff Sonya Dingess Porter says the purpose of the arrests went beyond just prostitution.
"It also attacks other issues. Where there is prostitution, there is drug use, or those individuals who commit burglary to gain money to participate in prostitution as well as other crimes" said Porter.
She went on to say that three out of the five suspects had offered controlled prescription medications to perform sexual acts. Sheriff Porter said that she greatly appreciated the assistance of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department and said that without their deputies' assistance, this operation would not have been so successful.
Those arrested during the prostitution sting: Jerry Boyd, of Pikeville, Ky., was charged with solicitation for prostitution; Bobby Robinette, of Mallory, was charged with solicitation for prostitution; Steven D. Maynard, of Leon, was charged with solicitation for prostitution; Billy James Hatley, of Bruno, was charged with solicitation for prostitution and David Vernatter, of McConnell, was charged with solicitation for prostitution.

DoD's military construction budget appears safe from sequestration cuts
Monday - 5/13/2013, 5:32am EDT
New calculations by the Office of Management and Budget have determined that sequestration will have little to no impact on DoD's 2013 budget for military construction programs. But while there will be ample funds to build new facilities, maintaining existing ones is another matter.
DoD says its outlook on military construction programs still is somewhat preliminary, but for now, the math of sequestration doesn't appear to require cuts from most of the department's MILCON accounts. The news came after OMB reviewed changes Congress made when it approved a 2013 budget in late March.
Robert Hale, comptroller, Department of Defense
"Because of special crediting provisions in the current law that apply when Congress enacts cuts in an appropriation, the law says, 'The cuts are big enough, there's no further sequestration,'" Robert Hale, DoD's comptroller told the Senate appropriations subcommittee on military construction last Thursday. "For the construction accounts that are affected, we believe we can absorb most of the sequestration reductions with available bid savings."
Hale said the department will make it a priority with its 2013 dollars to finish or continue construction projects that already are underway. He said he also doesn't expect to cancel, defer or reduce the scope of any projects, but pulling that off would require Congress to approve several complex budget reprogramming requests.
Critical repairs deferred
But even if the funds used to construct new buildings are relatively safe from sequestration, cuts from sequestration will squeeze the funds used to sustain and improve existing buildings for at least the remainder of the year. That money comes from DoD's broad operation and maintenance accounts, and with the sudden cuts imposed by sequestration, the department is prioritizing operations and, by necessity, shortchanging maintenance.
"In fiscal 2013, we're deferring all but the most critical repairs," said John Conger, DoD's acting deputy undersecretary for installations and environment. "Frankly, we can accommodate this for a short period of time, but if we do this for multiple years, facilities will break. Building systems will begin to fail. The cost to repair broken systems is much higher than that to maintain them, just like changing the oil in your car. Keep in mind though that this car is a real property portfolio of more than 500,000 facilities with a plant replacement value of more than $800 billion. If we don't invest in keeping it up, we will end up with a steady increase in failing or unusable facilities."
Hale said DoD is hoping not to have to re-learn the lessons of 20 years ago, when facilities languished without proper maintenance funding during the post-Cold War builddown.
"I was in the Air Force in the 1990s. We struggled. All of DoD did," he said. "We were underinvesting significantly in facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization. I think we've gotten well to some extent in the subsequent decade, but I do fear that we might be going down that path again."
The Pentagon argued that one sure-fire way to cut down on its facilities maintenance costs is to divest itself of real estate and buildings it no longer needs, and to dispose of them through a round of base realignments and closures in 2015. The idea has gotten virtually no traction on Capitol Hill so far.
BRAC getting no traction
Lawmakers, who are naturally hostile to the idea of base closures to begin with, are mostly pointing to the last round of BRAC in 2005, which cost DoD significantly more in one-time, up-front dollars than it originally projected.
Hale said that's true, but that BRAC and its predecessors also are saving DoD money every year.
"We're saving $12 billion a year from the past BRAC rounds. I hate to think what I'd be doing right now as comptroller of the Department of Defense if I had to find another $12 billion of savings in this fiscal environment," he said. "I understand the concerns about 2005, but we do not intend to repeat that experience. That was a move-around BRAC. This is going to be a close-the-bases BRAC. It'll be a lot less expensive and save money much more quickly."

Children can benefit from the internet because it offers them more text-based information than other media. This can help improve a child's reading and problem-solving skills. Some studies show that the internet can make learning more fun for young people.
Children can also benefit socially because they use email, chat rooms, forums and social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to communicate with friends (although face-to-face communication is also important for social development).
You can help your children use the internet safely by monitoring, protecting and teaching them, and by learning about the internet yourself. Learning to use the internet safely is like learning to cross the street. It takes time and careful guidance from trusted people such as teachers and parents.
You can monitor and supervise your child's use of the internet in several ways:
You can help protect your child while she is using the internet:
You can help your child learn how to use the internet safely, responsibly and enjoyably:
LearnIf you're not familiar with the internet, start by learning about it yourself:
Use a screening program or filter to block entry to certain websites. Filters are not 100% effective but are worth looking into. Many ISPs offer internet filters as part of their service.
Buy and install a program that will block emails or web pages containing unsuitable key words.
If your child finds unsuitable material, discuss the material calmly. Let your child know how pleased you are that she is talking to you about it.
Access to inappropriate content
Children might be only one or two clicks away from violent, pornographic or offensive material (even accidentally), especially if there are no filters or monitoring software installed on your computer. Some websites might contain advertisements for alcohol or cigarettes directed at children. These can be difficult to block, because they are usually images without text.
Also, some chat rooms can encourage inappropriate or harmful behaviour such as extreme dieting, underage sex or drug use.
Filter programs
Filtering programs are not completely effective. A resourceful child can sometimes find ways to get around these programs. Filters don't screen what goes on in chat rooms. They can't replace parental awareness and supervision.
Also, recent research tells us that 'server-based' filter programs (the kind your internet provider might run) are generally difficult to maintain. Their performance depends a lot on how they're set up and fine-tuned. It's worth checking the features of such programs carefully. You might need to add on extra features or programs.
Chat rooms and forums are lots of fun and great places to exchange ideas, but they can be risky. They allow people to interact anonymously, and age limits can't be enforced. Also, children might be invited to meet up in the real world with people they meet online, which could lead to sexual or physical abuse.
Leaking of personal information
This is more of an issue for older children. It can occur by accident when children provide personal details on websites or to strangers they have met online. Risks include cyberbullying or identity fraud.
File-sharing programs
Online software that enables files to be swapped over the internet is a very attractive way for kids to share MP3 songs, videos and images for free. But sharing music and other files over the internet is against the law. Legal action has been brought against people for doing it.
These kinds of file-sharing programs, often called 'peer-to-peer' programs, also allow access to your computer by strangers who could introduce computer viruses or other harmful material.
Too much internet/computer use
Parents sometimes worry about their children using the internet too much. If a child is already shy or uncomfortable in social situations, that child might spend a lot of time online, withdrawing from family and friends. If most or all of a child's interaction with friends is via computer – instant messaging, emails, chat rooms – this can affect the development of the child's social skills.

Overview of content related to 'personalisation'
This page provides an overview of 3 articles related to 'personalisation', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
Personalization involves using technology to accommodate the differences between individuals. Once confined mainly to the Web, it is increasingly becoming a factor in education, health care (i.e. personalized medicine), television, and in both "business to business" and "business to consumer" settings. Web pages are personalized based on the characteristics (interests, social category, context, ...) of an individual. Personalization implies that the changes are based on implicit data, such as items purchased or pages viewed. The term customization is used instead when the site only uses explicit data such as ratings or preferences. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Personalisation)

What Airport Codes Mean
Why does Chicago O'Hare International Airport have ORD as its three letter code? What's with the GEG designation for the airport in Spokane, Washington?
Do they make bakery products at the airport that serves the residents of St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida, given that its code is PIE? Does Portland, Oregon, have a hidden letter in its name, given that its airport code has the letter X in it?
If such questions about the bizarre three letter codes of many of our nation's major airports have made you feel anything from perplexed to sleepless at night, well, the following article should help to ease your mind. The mysteries behind many of these strange codes will be revealed here!
Surviving Over Time
Many of the unusual airport codes that travelers see on the baggage tags that are put on their luggage are based on the original names of the airports or what installation preceded the space where the current airports are now.
Old airport codes have survived over time even while the official names of the airports may change. This helps to keep confusion and costly changes to aviation-related publications in check, as well as to honor tradition, war heroes, and aviation pioneers.
ORD: Before becoming one of the world's busiest airports, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport was the site of an aircraft factory known as Orchard Place; and thus, the "ORD" designation for Orchard. Later, it became a commercial airfield, known as Orchard Field. In 1949, the name of the airport was changed to O'Hare Field, to honor local war hero Edward "Butch" O'Hare. The O'Hare legacy continues on to this day.
CVG: Cincinnati's international airport isn't in Cincinnati or even in the state of Ohio! The airport is located in Kentucky near the city of Covington, whose three letter abbreviation is CVG.
PIE: St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport used to be a military installation known as Pinellas Army Airfield; as a result, the "PIE" abbreviation came from the name Pinellas. It is in this area where the first ever passenger airline ticket was sold on January 1, 1914. Airport officials have actually sent edible PIES to travel agencies and businesses to encourage people to fly to this Florida hot spot!
GEG: Major Harold Geiger was a noted Army aviator and balloonist from times' past. His name is an ongoing, living legacy every time a GEG symbol is put on luggage or freight coming to Spokane, Washington, via the airways. Spokane International Airport was actually named Geiger Field until 1960, when the name was changed to its current nomenclature.
MCO: The three letter code for Orlando's international airport does not stand for Mickey Mouse Country as some theorize. McCoy Air Force Base used to be at this locale, from which tourists the world over now embark to en route to the Disney theme parks in the Orlando area.
IAD, DCA, EYW, and PHF: Cites that begin with the letters K, W, and N aren't allowed to have airport codes beginning with the first letters of their proper names. The letters K and W are reserved for radio and television stations. The letter N is for Naval Air Station's usage. So city airports beginning with the above letters have to be creative; for instance, cities like Washington, DC have airport codes like IAD and DCA; the code for Key West, Florida, is EYW, while Newport News' code is PHF, short for Patrick Henry Field.
PDX, LAX, SRQ, and CYS: The airport codes for Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, California; Sarasota, Florida; and Cheyenne, Wyoming, respectively, do all have one thing in common. The last letter of each of these cities' airport codes are just filler letters that mean nothing at all. Many airports with filler letters (like LAX) were around at a time when airport codes were only two letters long, before the explosive growth in aviation created the need for a longer code so more letter combinations would be available.
The city of New Orleans later bought the stock yards for airfield construction and named the completed project Moisant Field. In 1962, Moisant Field was renamed New Orleans International Airport, but the stock yards'

GARETH DUNCAN reports that Saru have established a new SA Schools selection policy to ensure that the strongest possible squad is picked.
Over the years, pundits and coaches have complained about the selection process used for the SA Schools squad. Some have argued that the best players aren't always called up, while some have questioned the exclusion of schoolboys who were not picked to appear at the annual U18 Craven Week.
To avoid these scenarios, Saru will broaden the SA Schools squad's player pool. This year, the selection panel will consider players from the secondary U18 provincial tournaments (like the U18 Academy and LSEN weeks) and schoolboys who have excelled on the national school 1st XV scene, but have failed to receive a provincial call-up.
Traditionally, a final SA Schools squad is announced following the unofficial Craven Week final on the last match day. These selections are based on the talent that featured during the tournament.
However, Saru manager of amateur teams and events Yusuf Jackson said a wider squad will take part in a trial phase, that will run sometime in July.
'A squad of players will be announced after Craven Week. They will be joined by players who have excelled at the other provincial tournaments and schoolboys, who didn't receive provincial selection, at the SA Schools trials,' Jackson told Schoolboy Derby. 'This will ensure that we have the strongest squad available.
'This group will be picked by our selection panel, which is headed by [national convener of selectors] Peter Jooste. This panel will also include members from the SA Schools Rugby Association [SASRA].'
The SA Schools team will take part in three international matches this year. They will face U18 teams from England, Wales and France between 5 and 18 August. The fixture against England will feature as a curtain-raiser for the Rugby Championship Test between the Springboks and Argentina at Newlands on 18 August.
Jackson also mentioned that a professional approach will be used in appointing this year's SA Schools coach and team manager.
'Candidates had the opportunity to send in their applications. From that pool, a shortlist has been created,' he said. 'On the off day during Craven Week [Friday, 13 July], we will have interviews with the final candidates, and the new coach and team manager will be appointed during the squad announcement.'
Meanwhile, Jackson added that the preparations for all the age-group provincial weeks are going well.
'We are very happy with the planning of the youth weeks and we are expecting some successful and entertaining tournaments,' said Jackson. 'What's great is the fact that four of our provincial unions will have the honour of hosting a tournament.'
The U13 Craven Week will be held at Grey College in Bloemfontein. The U18 Academy Week will be hosted in Wellington. The Grant Khomo U16 Week and the LSEN Week will be hosted in Johannesburg, while the U18 Craven Week will be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside of the womb (uterus). Most ectopic pregnancies occur within a fallopian tube. Other, less common locations may include the cervix, an ovary, or the abdominal cavity. This type of pregnancy cannot survive because only the uterus can support the growth of a fetus and its placenta.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Many ectopic pregnancies occur because the fallopian tube is not functioning normally.
Factors that may increase the risk ectopic pregnancy include:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be also be done.
Tests may include:
Treatment options include:
If the ectopic pregnancy is small and has not ruptured (burst), your doctor will recommend the medicine methotrexate. This medicine prevents further growth of the ectopic pregnancy.
Surgery may be needed, especially if the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured or if it is not in the fallopian tube. During the surgery, the pregnancy will be removed.
If the pregnancy is in the fallopian tube, the doctor may be able to repair the tube. In severe cases, the fallopian tube may need to be removed.
While there are no clear ways to reduce your risk of ectopic pregnancies, it may be helpful to:

GSA testing new energy-saving technologies at federal buildings
Wednesday - 9/26/2012, 7:58pm EDT
The General Services Administration plans to roll out a dozen new technologies designed to better measure and manage energy use in federal facilities, the agency announced Wednesday.
GSA will install the new technologies in federal buildings across the country as part of the agency's Green Proving Ground program.
"This innovative program is another example of GSA leading the way for the federal government," said Dorothy Robyn, the newly appointed head of the agency's Public Buildings Service, in a statement. "By testing the effectiveness of these technologies, GSA is finding new ways that federal buildings across the nation can save both energy and taxpayer dollars.
Among the technologies to bet tested is a water-saving, wireless irrigation system that turns the simple act of watering the lawn into a data-driven, automated process. The tool measures soil moisture at the root level, wirelessly transmits and stores that data on cloud servers and, when necessary, triggers sprinkler systems.
Electrochromic windows, which transition from a clear to an opaque facade, will be installed to optimize daylight and better regulate indoor temperatures. Other technologies include new lighting, heating and power-generation technologies.
GSA cites previous sustainability success
The expanded testing comes as GSA released its latest assessment of two other technologies that underwent full-scale evaluations over the past year.
GSA evaluated responsive-lighting systems at five federal buildings in Californa and Nevada. This includes workstation-specific lighting — lighting individual cubicles for example, as opposed to the entire room — dimmers and sensors. The results showed 27 percent to 63 percent in energy cost-savings.
GSA also tested advanced power strips to better manage "plug-load energy consumption" at eight federal buildings in the mid-Atlantic region. The plethora of devices employees plug in at the office, including smartphones and computers, draws on the energy supply even when not in use. GSA estimates these so-called "plug loads" account for as much as 25 percent of an office building's total energy consumption.
Advanced power strips allow employees to set timers specifying when circuits can be switched off, and GSA found the technology reduced plug-load energy consumption by 26 percent.
GSA's Green Proving Ground program, which aims to transform the agency's 9,600 properties into test-beds of sustainable technologies was spurred by an October 2009 executive order calling for a broad federal sustainability strategy.
In July, GSA released an updated version of its Sustainable Facilities Tool to help agencies make their facilities more energy-efficient.
