Program sees first grad pass GED test
The K-TOWN Youth Empowerment Network GED program recently had its first graduate to pass the official GED test.
K-TOWN graduate Bryan Moreno started taking preparation classes at K-TOWN when the program kicked off in October in the organization's educational lab.
Moreno had been attempting to earn a GED for several months. However, he said it wasn't until he enrolled in K-TOWN's educational lab program that he felt fully prepared to take the official test.
Moreno said he hopes to find a career path where he can "reach out to young dudes to encourage positive behaviors."
K-TOWN GED instructor Josh Maddox previously worked with Pellissippi State's GED program as well as other community programs. In addition to GED preparation, Maddox works with K-TOWN youth to help them build life skills, apply for jobs, housing, scholarships and college admission.

Perfect location, perfect price. Our only "complaints", one bathroom and two single beds in the second bedroom. Yes, we knew ahead of time that was what we were getting so we are not upset by any means. Super convenient check in and out and the proximity to everything made it an awesome trip. I highly recommend this location for any couple, families or small groups. Easy walk to stores and some great restaurants. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and look forward to next year's trip.
What a great find. We were close to Union Station and the evening activities on H Street. We thought it only had 3 beds.... but fortunately it had 4! Great kitchen, close to activities and great music to wake up to on Sunday morning.
I was traveling with college kids, adults, and seniors. This apartment was very conveniently located to public transit and some great restaurants, as well as grocery and drug stores. I was shocked at how much room there was. You could easily fit a couple of air beds in here (assuming the hosts are okay with that, of course). A full kitchen had all we needed to fix a great meal; grocery stores were within walking distance and the hosts left a binder with directions. A nice shower with plenty of hot water and decent water pressure. Very comfortable beds - we all slept like logs. Lots of seating space in the main room.
We especially liked the location, as it is still a bit gritty and has some personality; we felt very safe the entire time, but not like we were in a cookie-cutter neighborhood. It is pretty quiet inside, as far as you can't hear much from the upstairs tenants. There is a lot of street noise during the day (trucks and buses), but it gets nice and quiet at night.
Some nit-picky things: we never could get the wireless internet to work and we kept playing phone tag with the on-call person. Additionally, the tv is pretty small and not HD (I know, we're spoiled). The binder with directions could stand some extra input.
We would definitely stay here again.
This was a wonderful experience. The apartment was so homelike and had a nice old feel with the architecture and wood throughout the place. There were 4 of us and no one was in each others' way. Parking was awesome, place was clean. Felt like part of the neighborhood when walking around or shopping. Was there Palm Sunday and enjoyed the music and dress up of the congregation at the Pilgrim Baptist Church. We did have one question about something and Jacqui came right over with an answer and was very gracious. (only concern was my severe allergy to room odorizor which we put outside and opened windows-but about 4 hours later no trace of the smell).
Accueil gentil du propriétaire. Epicerie proche. Conforme à ce qui est annoncé.
Spacious apartment in a nice neighbourhood close to Capitol and Main Station. Well-maintained, photos reflect the appearance and amenities well, people of the B&B were very helpful and friendly. We felt at home immediately.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is delighted with the first season of coach Rafa Benitez.
ADL has affirmed his confidence in the former Liverpool boss.
"I'm confident because I know what Benitez does behind the scenes, on the training pitch.
"With Rafa in charge I sleep soundly.
"He is our strength. His organisation is what makes this team – and that's what I admired most last time.
"But sometimes there are things that go against you. We have economic limits – but we have to respect the new financial rulings.
"But I can tell you that if we had the turnover of Juventus or Borussia Dortmund, we'd be challenging for every trophy going."

The Preseason AP Top 25 poll won't come out until later this month, but here at BangTheBook.com, we're giving you a Top 25 from a betting perspective. Using power ratings to determine the top 25 teams in college football, readers will have the opportunity to look at what the preseason Top 25 might look like if designed by a bettor. Each article will feature a preview of that team with a write-up for each position and an explanation of why the position group was rated that way and some further insight into the methodology of creating power ratings.
The Methodology: Each team is rated up to 100 with eight different position groups considered. Quarterbacks, offensive and defensive lines, and coaching are graded on a scale of 4 to 15, while running backs, wide receivers, linebackers, and defensive backs are graded on a scale of 4 to 10 in half-point increments.
Groups are rated on returning production, potential, previous performance, and a handful of other variables. Information was gathered from all corners of the college football world, including preseason magazines, websites dedicated to specific teams, national college football websites, and more.
The #24 team on the BangTheBook.com Preseason Top 25 is the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Quarterbacks (10.5/15)
This is a very pessimistic take on Jake Rudock, who proved that he can roll out and throw and be an asset in the play-action passing game. Rudock's not going to put up huge numbers, but that won't be asked of him this season anyway. The Hawkeyes are going to run the football and that means that Rudock simply needs to extend some drives on 3rd-and-6+ and take care of the football. He struggled with taking care of the football last season with an 18/13 TD/INT ratio, but he doesn't take sacks and can make some plays with his legs.
Running Backs (9/10)
Mark Weisman, Jordan Canzeri, and Damon Bullock combine to make the deepest running back unit in the Big 10 Conference. Weisman ran for nearly 1,000 yards last season and he's more of a between-the-tackles guy, while Canzeri can get outside the tackles. Canzeri tore his ACL two years ago and should be 100 percent this season. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Iowa roll with some full house backfields with a fullback and give the opposing defense some different looks.
Wide Receivers (6.5/10)
The passing game problems weren't all on Rudock. Gone are the days of Marvin McNutt and Derrell Johnson-Koulianos. The Hawkeyes leading receiver last season had 40 receptions for under 400 yards. There isn't a whole lot of help or a star player in this group, but they run block well and should have a better rapport with Rudock in his second full season at the helm.
Offensive Line (13/15)
This is a hard-working group that features the best offensive lineman in the country in left tackle Brandon Scherff. Kirk Ferentz almost always has an offensive line that protects the quarterback and opens holes in the running game. A lack of skill players tends to drag down the yards per carry or yards per play numbers, but they definitely do their job.
Defensive Line (13/15)
The trenches are always a point of emphasis at Iowa and seven of the top eight on the depth chart from last season return. There will be added pressure on this group with five losses in the back seven. Like most everything else at Iowa, no one player stands out, but the entire unit plays well together and that led to a 3.6 yards per carry mark last season. They aren't a big blitzing defense, so the interior of the defensive line needs to be solid and it is.
Linebackers (7/10)
Three starters are gone and two of them were NFL draft picks. Normally that would mean a significant downgrade, and there is a downgrade, but the Hawkeyes seem to just reload rather than rebuild at this position. Each of the linebackers had over 100 tackles last season and accumulated large percentages of the tackles for loss and sacks that the defense registered. This is a question mark, but Ferentz produces quality at this position.
Defensive Backs (8/10)
Top cover corner BJ Lowery moved on, but the Hawkeyes consistently find quality at this position as well. The second season of Phil Parker's defense led to improvement across the board and even though there are some substantial losses, these players have been coached up in the system for two seasons.
Coaching (12.5/15)
The Hawkeyes have found various levels of success under Kirk Ferentz over the last 15 seasons. The play on both sides of the ball improved last season in the second year for both coordinators. Phil Parker has been in the program for a long time, but 2013 marked his second season as the defensive coordinator. Ferentz has held this job for a long time and his buyout should keep him in it a while longer, but his teams tend to be consistent and it's easy to know what to expect.
Total: 79.5
There are a handful of teams tied with ratings of 79.5, but the Hawkeyes have the second-lowest coaching mark of those teams. This team is strong in the trenches and with the trenches making up 30 percent of the formula to find these ratings, that's significant and it's why the Hawkeyes crack the top 25. They aren't a flashy team and they don't get a lot of buzz or respect because they play so many ugly games, but they run the ball well, block well, and have not allowed more than 24 points per game in any of the last seven seasons.
Most teams are dependent on their quarterback play and the Hawkeyes aren't. Rudock's sole job in this offense is to take care of the football and complete some play-action passes. That's not a lot to ask of a team that lacks big play receivers. Time of possession is key for the Hawkeyes and there's reason to believe that they can control the clock. The defense has questions, but Ferentz has a knack for maximizing an individual's talent because of the scheme and that elevates a team.
Don't sleep on the Iowa Hawkeyes this season with a weak schedule and a lot of consistency. It sneaks them into the Top 25 at #24.

So I keep checking forums to see if I want to come back. I loved the thought of AOC and was pretty upset with how bad it was. This is the one game I enjoyed at first. So instead of talking myself in to coming back I am going to just pay the 15 and try it out for a month and see if I like it again. What server is the most populated now? I honestly dont remember which one i was on lol. Is it better to go PVP in this game? If I remember right crafting/gathering sucked anyway.

im on SET(PvE) and its pretty populated, i know that Tirany (PvP) have a high population too. if you like Role play then you have to go to Wiccana i guess....
however, just so you dont get disapointed, crafting/itemization are still pretty sucky, those are the main negative points about AoC as of now, so if you are coming back specifically for those, you better wait til next patch 1.05 is released (probably in a couple of months).
otherwise the game have come a long way since launch, technical bugs have been mitigated and a lot of content have been added especially to the end of the game.

It depends on if you like free for all pvp or controlled pvp. I personally prefer controlled pvp (general servers), and play on the server Set, the global channel is always full of people to talk to. The biggest problem with open pvp servers is there are little 12 year olds (sadly they're probably immature adults) that will kill you while you're in the middle of quest dialog, aka nothing you can do but die. In the General servers PvP is only allowed in certain areas. Mini-games seem to be easier to get together in the General servers, as this is the main way people pvp. On open PvP servers most would rather just run around in gank squads or kill others while in quest dialog. I would suggest the General server for anyone that is mature, and PvP servers for anyone that has the maturity of a 8 year old.
Funcom has said that they're working on making items more important than they are right now. The difference between green and blue items while it may look like a huge difference, the difference between them in the numbers is very little in the end. By the end of April, I guess, they should have an item buff patch which should fix this problem.
Is set the main pve server now? I just want to go to one that is highly populated. I am not sure if I could handle open pvp in this game as I have never done it.
I also need to figure out what class to play, I have no clue where my characters from Zug went lol I enjoyed the assassin, barbarian and necro.

Zug merged into Wicana. That is where your toons are at.
That is a pretty busy server then? Based on what I am reading?

I am on Aquilonia which is a RP / PvP server. Its quite busy and it shows in the guild I am in. I saw a leap in members at the start then it dropped down to 10 or so but now its back up to 80's and there are always 30 or so online. Its a pretty good server and global chat is always busy.
On the other hand it depends on what you left the game for, which will determine your opinion this time round. If it was the crashes and lack of content at the top end and the imbalanced classes etc. Then that has been sorted.
Welcome back, imo its the best fantasy game out there now and the returning crowds are proving it.
I got the game at launch but had to stop playing due to living conditions.
I resubed yesterday after reading about all the added patches and content. I was surpriced. The game was smoother to play and very fun... That is until I got to level 15 and went to "white sands". It was just crazy it was mass pvp everywhere. Around 20-30 people fighting just where you enter the zone, ranging from 10-25 in level. Okay, I thought and went back to tortage as it was impossible to quest with people fighting like that everywhere. I went for a run in "underhall" instead. It was worse. 2 groups of 5 people each all with red skulls over their heads running around killing everything in sight. I would like to see myself as a casual open world pvper but this was just crazy.
When I asked around about it I got the answer that there is nothing to do at higher levels so this was the most fun the game would have to offer. If I wanted to level pve levels I should pay someone to boost me 1g an hour. I have made around 30 copper by level 15.
Is this really how it is to play on a pvp server? If so I am rolling pve asap and hope for more pve content. :/

Yes it is pretty good for population, with the server merges came new guilds all put together, the city spots were in contention again and sieges happen often. There is old time server pride from those that came in as well as new friends and enemies for everyone. If you pick Wiccana you can't grow wrong as it was enhanced not by population but decent community too.

First of all. The PvE content is way up after patch 1.04. I am at least very happy with it. It's so many quests that you can't possibly do them all before like 20% of the quests go grey in your questjournal. It's perhaps somewhat thin in level 74-78 range but thats it really. You should not be worried about PvE content. Second, I love PvP but I play on a PvE server. Why? Well it's the beuty of playing a zoned game. There can be different rule sets in every zone. PvE servers have full war and PvP in the borderlands, where Sieges and wars over PvP resources are fought. There are also minigames for PvP to pump you PvP XP and get your guild some guildpoints to use for sieging.
When this is said, if you really want to punish the murderers... It's pretty easy, you gang up like 12 lowbies and rape them.. pretty fun:) Also, if you have a guild it's time to call in the cavalery. After all, they can harvest double PvP XP by nailing murderers. Finally, there is plenty endgame content now... what you see is only people that want to be murderer for the sake of being murderer. But they are doomed, and more doomed the longer they keep fcking around:)
Thanks for such a fast reply.
I wasn't sure how it worked but if there are still possible to pvp even if I play on a pve server I think I will roll on a pve server. I want to first and foremost see the game. It's so beutiful that it would be a waste not to see it all and as I have no guild or friends playing I am quite free to move around as a please. Think I need to do a little reading about the classes again and then it's off to explore this great world. ^^
I will reinstall the game tonight, I read that the patches are 13gb worth? That will take a while but I will resub once it is active again. I may just roll an assassin as they interested me the first time, I need to learn the controls again as I have not played for a long long time. I will be on wiccana it seems if anyone is starting up with me.

I think perhaps two, three gigs of patching. Not 13!
It is preferable not to travel with a dead man.
When I reistalled the Collector's Edition disks the other day there was 5 gigs of patching. The patch servers are fast though, never under 1.5mb/s so it took about 1-2 hours to patch up.

Death Is a Priveledge
Deciding on either EVE or AoC, i played AoC 2 months back and got a 40 necro on Tryanny and greatly enjoyed the game. The thing that did make me quit was the murder system. It needs to be done away with or fixed. All i need to say is 3 level 20 archers killing a 80 (no damage mitigation for higher level gear, but from what ppl say items will be buffed and thank you finallly funcom!!!).
AoC also to me had a questing problem, i would either get all these group quests when im soloing and it felt like a quest in a quest to even find quests. And those giant elite looking mobs, it wouldnt kill funcom to label them as elite or give them a special portrait border >.>. I understood that AoC did have a hard pvp level up system but this is what i enjoyed because it felt very like those old days in WoW when you got High Warlord (till blizz ruined the game). I rather play pvp because i like the idea of pvp anywhere, even tho it can get in the way of leveling but at the same time make the immersion to keep even that boring questing interesting. And funny thing about Tyranny is the lack of minigames on a PVP server and how many ppl sit there in global chat and link thier PVE gear on a PVP server. Get what im saying? I simply love how you get full pvp sets for your dedication in pvp, it would be great if ppl got together and did some mini games and more seiges in between but they rather gank because minigames have set levels and this disallows them to gank lowbies :(.
One thing that will keep me coming back is Necro, not many games have this class, let alone have it be so awesome!!!!!!!! So any game that can work Necro right has got my wallet. Little things only bother me about this game but its enough to discourage me from playing. I want to pvp but if pvp will consists of ganking lowbies all day and NOT playing minigames/seiges then the game will be to PVE for me and thats not what i seek. AoC has great potential as a pvp game and it seems the focus more on PVE than PVP :(
The same thing bothers me about EVE, ppl make it into a "camp gates until a sucker comes and others say there is factional warfare. Its just i really need to know if this game is an actual strategic pvp beast or just a gank the weak in outnumbered situations. I already find it hard to get into sci fi but if its a great game that does have fun and fair large epic scale battles im in :D. Just need some help from you guys.

And i think that the open world pvp is pretty fun, me and some friends like to team up and go on a murderer hunt, we kill every murderer we see ;) Really fun and good pvp-xp.
I dont understand you when you say that the pvp in AOC is just ganking?
Many things have changed the last months, the game is much better now and i would definitely recommend you to resub and give AOC another try ;)

When i say ganking I mean like ppl 20-30 levels higher than you in a zone he doesnt have any meritable need to be in just to gank lowbies.
I want to try out a pvp server, what is a good class to play? I am trying the ranger and assassin again now. I like both of them so far.

I sort of feel guilty for writing about this before the U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend AND it has nothing to do with enterprise IT, but since so many of you have been interested in HolidayLEDs.com in the past, here goes. The LED e-tailer is running a promotion that will provide free shipping on orders for all U.S. military personnel and their families. Basically any order, especially battery-powered LEDs, that is going to an APO (aka Army Post Office) address. You just need to prove that someone related to the order is a member of U.S. troops deployed activity abroad. Pass it on. Incidentally, for the rest of you, the site is running a 60 percent off clearance AND it now offers free recycling for your old holiday or Christmas lights all year.

Peso hardly moves as investors wait for BSP policy meeting
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The peso moved sideways on Wednesday as the market awaited the policy rate-setting meeting of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The local currency closed at 40.615 against the US dollar, down by half a centavo from the previous day's finish of 40.61:$1.
Intraday high hit 40.595, while intraday low settled at 40.645:$1.
Volume of trade amounted to $605.7 million from $1.208 billion previously.
Traders said fund owners were looking for fresh leads as they waited for the first policy rate-setting meeting of the BSP in 2013, to be held on Thursday.
The Monetary Board of the BSP will meet Thursday to decide whether to keep or adjust its key policy rates, or whether to tweak other policies affecting liquidity in the economy.
The BSP's key policy rates are closely monitored by the market given their influence on yields of financial instruments.
BSP Governor Amando Tetangco earlier said interest rates might remain benign, although the need for further rate reduction has not become pronounced, given the favorable growth of the economy.

Ever since Isaac Newton first described the laws of gravity in 1687, scientists have known that the quickest route between two points is along a straight line through the Earth's interior. Through the magic of gravity, any object dropped into such a "chord tunnel" at one end will emerge exactly 42 minutes later at the other end, no matter the distance. But for hundreds of years, the technical challenges of building such a tunnel were so daunting that it remained a theoretical curiosity. Only at the start of the 20th century did the idea become technically feasible, and to this day the tunnel linking the East Bay with New Jersey remains the only structure of its kind in the world.

Using the Atlas Rope Ascender, a fully loaded soldier can reach the top of a 4-story building in under 4 seconds. Powerful and lightweight, the Rope Ascender weighs only 15 pounds, and can use either its own high-power rechargable batteries, cordless tool batteries, or a power adaptor from a vehicle.With the larger tool batteries, a soldier can use the device to climb over 600 vertical feet on a single charge. These batteries recharge to 90% capacity in 5 minutes.
Seven of the largest tunnels discovered under the U.S.-Mexico border in recent years have yet to be filled. One of which is the longest yet found and extends nearly half a mile from San Diego to Tijuana. There's another sophisticated passageway, he says, once known as the Taj Mahal of tunnels, which has been sitting unfilled for 13 years. Filling the seven tunnels would cost about $2.7 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
Rumor has it that a university outside Manchester teaches courses in mathematics and knot theory not inside comfortable, well-lit classrooms, but down in the sewers, drains, valves, and storm tunnels built long ago beneath the city.

We only use the water cooler, it's easy to use and is pretty hard to tip over (they haven't managed yet). We fill it about once a week with 2 fifty pound dogs. The only downside is that they drop food in it so the bowl water can get dirty.
Pros: Convenient
Cons: water gets dirty

They say 'love hurts', and walking down the aisle is not everyone's cup of tea. In our fast-paced lives one is left with little or no time to maintain a cordial relationship with friends and family, let alone develop a romantic affair. All warnings and time crunch aside living 'happily ever after' is on everybody's mind, and there are professionals, popularly known as the matchmaker, who help people in this pursuit.
With the changing dynamics of society, matchmaking has become a lucrative business to invest in. According to a study by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), India's online matrimony agencies will acquire a market size of Rs 1,500 crore by 2017 from Rs 520 crore at present. It is estimated that this will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 65 per cent in the next two years.
Matchmaking networks like Bharathmatrimony, Shaadi.com and Jeevansaathi.com have been in the business for a long time. However, they function a bit differently as compared to the new age personalised agencies. While the big players stick to segregrating profiles on filters like caste, creed and culture, new-age agencies are focusing on bringing together educated youngsters with common interests. This is because eligible youngsters are looking to start with friendship, translate it into dating and then enable it to mature into a marriage.
A matchmaker needs to be someone who understands the nuances of modern human relationhips and is skilled to handle other person's love life. "It is a career which deals with the most sacred and personal part of an individual's life. So one needs to be well skilled in human relations," explains Mandeep Kaur, who set up MatchmeCupid.com two years ago. Kaur, a Btech graduate, quit her marketing job and set up her own venture. "After thorough research I spotted this opportunity. Youngsters with good jobs and careers were confused souls when it came to finding the right life partner," says Kaur.
"Since you deal with people all the time, it is important for a matchmaker to be a non-judgemental person. My background in human resources helped me a lot," says Bangalore-based Nandini C Nawle, who runs a match making service called MarryGold. An HR professional for 18 years, Nawle quit her job in 2006 to set up her offline matrimony service. Nawle who has seen a success rate of almost 40 marriages in the last eight years further says that with business tricks and right kind of public relation skills to reach out the clientele, being a matchmaker can definitely be a productive career.
The job however, is not easy. "It is not only about introducing two individuals, but also making sure that the people and their expectations are genuine and realistic," says Kaur, who uses her knowledge of consumer behavior, learnt in her MBA class, to her benefit while dealing with erratic clients who have unrealistic expectations for a partner.
Unlike other businesses, in the personalised matchmaking space there are no targets set to achieve a certain number of marriages in a year. "It is more about getting the right kind of clients to sign-up and make sure they meet genuine people. Client feedback is vital. It helps you to grow into a good matchmaker," explains Nawle.
Check list for matchmakers
1) Don't get attached to the client
2) Be patient in case a client is dissatisfied with your service
3) Understand the psyche of the client
4) Identify a pattern in his/ her life if any
5) Be stern when a client turns unnecessaily erratic and impatient

8 Best Blushes -- and the 6 Worst
Want a perfectly-flushed complexion? You need a great blush. Here are the ones that'll help you glow -- and the ones that are so bad they'll turn your cheeks red with frustration
Why: While they felt this pH-matching blush was a "great concept," ultimately readers found that the color was just "too bright." "Don't believe the hype," says one reviewer. "Don't buy into that whole pH balanced crap," agrees another. While the "highly pigmented, very pink" blush worked for some readers, they warned that you should only buy it "if you're looking for a nice pink blush."

Little Annie's Eating House
517 East Hyman Avenue, Aspen, CO 81611Map
+1 970 925 1098
Neighborhood: Downtown
Cuisine: American
An Aspen institution for over twenty-five years, Little Annie's Eating House has been delighting regulars with its juicy burgers, meaty ribs, mashers and half-a-dozen entrees. The homemade soups are thick, flavorsome and delicately spiced. The burgers are brilliantly charbroiled and dished out with hot and crispy fries. An assortment of baked vegetable preparations have the herbivores gasping for more. Everything on the menu at Little Annie's Eating House is reminiscent of home-style cooking. Don't forget to try the unbeatable combo of Sunshine beer with onion rings. Certainly not a place for people with a modest appetite.

The Clay County Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a $25,000 match for a Small Community Air Service Development Program grant to the Golden Triangle Regional Airport (GTRA) at its meeting tomorrow.
The airport received the $750,000 grant in October, and required a $500,000 community match among the entities sharing GTRA. West Point and Clay County's share of the match was $50,000 to be split between the city and county, and the West Point Board of Selectmen voted at its Jan. 13 meeting to participate.
A West Point man was sentenced to serve 30 years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) for assault during Tuesday's Clay County Circuit Court session.
FLORA — All's well that ends well.
After giving up a 13-point advantage in the final quarter, junior Sydney Holton scored two free throws for the lead in overtime, and the Lady Raiders added five more free throws in the closing stretch as they defeated the Tri-County Lady Rebels, 61-58, in MAIS District 2-AA play Saturday at Tri-County Academy.
FLORA — In a long basketball season, it is good to have contributors outside of the starting five. For the Oak Hill Raiders, they have playmakers in spades throughout their roster.
Oak Hill's bench scored 22 points, and the Raiders defeated the Tri-County Rebels, 54-46, in MAIS District 2-AA play Saturday afternoon at Tri-County Academy.
"I was proud of my second group," Oak Hill Head Coach Brian Middleton said. "In a high school game, the bench contributing that many points is a huge number."

Inez Cagle Fulce, age 81, passed away Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, at Regency Hospital in Meridian.
As the month dwindles, so too does the deadline for preparations on the 89th annual West Point-Clay County Growth Alliance banquet.
The banquet, themed "Past, present, forever West Point," is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 29 at the Civic. Festivities will begin with a cocktail hour and networking, followed by dinner provided by White's Catering at 6 p.m. Thus far, Growth Alliance Director Lisa Klutts said all was coming together smoothly for this year's event.
West Point and Clay County residents gathered Monday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. More than 50 locals turned up at 9 a.m. Monday to march from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive down Main and Commerce streets before ending up at Center Stage for a celebratory program.
Many residents who couldn't make the walk still came out for the program, and event coordinator Anna Jones said the turnout — about 100 or so in the Center Stage auditorium — was consistent with the last few years' events.

One trans woman was raped by 14 soldiers and performed sex acts for food
The first in-depth study on the treatment of LGBTI Cambodians under the Khmer Rouge has uncovered widespread sexual and emotional abuse.
All 48 interviewees for the study, which was released on Friday (27 February), reported having to hide their sexuality for fear of being killed, while many said they were subjected to forced marriage, rape and sexual abuse by Khmer Rouge soldiers and officials.
All the gay men and most of the transgender women surveyed said they had experienced sexual violence.
Third time lawmakers reject full adoption rights for same-sex couples
Portugal's parliament yesterday (22 January) rejected draft laws that would allow gay couples to adopt children for the third time, although the vote margin was smaller than ever.
The bills were all defeated by some 30 votes in the Lisbon assembly, which 220 deputies attended.

Flamboyant gay British singer Elton John may have to lose the glitter and glam for his upcoming performances in Russia, or face the backlash.

The legislation effectively bans public discussion of LGBT issues and was originally proposed by the Communist Party, which has the most representatives in the Council.

I must admit I nearly passed on this one due to the sparse description and 'home-brew' artwork. I'm certainly glad I decided to take a look after all as it is an excellent read. Once you get into the story it is a intriguing read; in some ways like the myth/conspiracy books that have popped up as a cottage industry in the past decade or so, but without the cheap by-the-numbers car chases and protagonists with snazzy names and shadowy, tortured pasts working for the n-th variation of some semi-official government organization with a contrived acronym.
It appears to be the author's first book, and at times it could have done with some stricter editing, but at the end of the day it is a great read.

Windows Media Center Restricts Cable TV 448

from the no-HBO-for-you dept.
PrescriptionWarning writes "With the latest Media Center Edition update from Microsoft, I and many others are finding that content available on television is now completely unwatchable from Media Center. The message states: 'Restricted Content: Restrictions set by the broadcaster and/or originator of the content prohibit playback of the program on this computer.' A simple search on the subject reveals that HBO programming and, in my case, Braveheart on AMC are among the many selections now restricted for playback or recording by Windows Media Center Edition. What's next, restricting every piece of programming on television?"

University of Kentucky Special CollectionsLexington, Kentucky 40506
Arranged numerically by accession number and thereunder chronologically.
Collection is open for research.
[Identification of item], Charles Scott papers, 1777-1828, 1790-1813 (bulk dates), 1B53M118, 1VF55W17, 1B62M143, 1VF61M201, AAN9488LM, Special Collections, University of Kentucky.
109 pieces.
Governor, Soldier. Charles Scott, a Virginia native, served as a non-commissioned officer under George Washington during the French and Indian War, later rising to the rank of brigadier general during the Revolutionary War. He was with the Continental Army at Valley Forge, Trenton, Germantown, Monmouth, and Stony Point. He moved to Kentucky in 1785, after being chosen by the Virginia General Assembly to appoint superintendents and surveyors in the western lands. He served as Woodford County's representative to the Virginia House of Delegates. From 1791 to 1794 Scott took part in general expeditions against the Indians, including those with General Arthur St. Clair (1736-1818) and Anthony Wayne (1745-1796), serving as head of the Kentucky Volunteers. From 1808 to 1812, Scott served as governor of Kentucky.
These papers are correspondence with and documents signed by Charles Scott. Correspondents (for accession 1M54M6) included Thomas Barbee, James Barnett, Arthur Campbell, John Connolly, Christopher Greenup, Henry Lee, Robert Breckinridge McAfee, Isaac Shelby, Anthony Wayne and James Wilkinson. These letters concern Indian fighting (primarily with the Cherokees), military matters, land development, westward expansion, business enterprises and politics. There is a map of the Northwest territory, and muster rolls for John Dyal's company and the Fayette County militia.
Two broadsides are photostatic reproductions of a call to arms in 1808 (1B53M118) and an amendment to a land act in 1811 (1B62M143). One original broadside (1VF61M201) offers a reward for a runaway slave. Also in that accession are letters from Scott's brother concerning the gold rush in California. A document remitting a fine in 1810 is included in another accession (1VF55W13). One accession (1VF5517) contains Scott's appointment as Brigadier General, a land indenture and two letters from John Evans. There is also a photograph of Scott (1PA54M6 removed to photo archives).

Gandolfini on screen again in 'Enough Said'
TORONTO — After Nicole Holofcener cast James Gandolfini in her divorcee romantic comedy "Enough Said," the "Sopranos" actor kept suggesting she rethink her decision.
Alec Baldwin, he insisted, would be far better suited.
"He would list some actors he thought could do a much better job," Holofcenter said in a recent interview. "I felt confident he could do this part. More than he did. He was quite certain that he couldn't pull it off."
What began as a stretch outside Gandolfini's comfort zone is now debuting, tragically, as one of Gandolfini's final performances. "Enough Said," which premieres Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of Fox Searchlight's Sept. 18 release, was filmed about a year before the actor died of a heart attack in June. (His final film, the Brooklyn crime movie "Animal Rescue," is expected to be released next year.)
Holofcener's "Enough Said" is about a middle-aged masseuse (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who begins dating a fellow divorcee (Gandolfini) also with a daughter going off to college.
Gandolfini's career was more varied than many realize, vacillating between comedy (the political satire "In the Loop," the Broadway play "God of Carnage"), turns of tenderness (the childless parent drama "We Are the Rileys," the Maurice Sendak adaptation "Where the Wild Things Are") and even musicals (John Turturro's "Romance and Cigarettes"). But he's particularly unadorned in "Enough Said," playing a sensitive, teddy bear of a father falling for Louis-Dreyfus's more hesitant character.
Holofcener, the director of the mother-daughter comedy "Lovely & Amazing," had nearly cast Gandolfini in the Oliver Platt role for her 2010 film "Please Give." Although Holofcener says she was "intimidated by him as a person and an actor," she knew she wanted to work with him. Gandolfini, in turn, had long wanted to move away from some of the more thuggish characters he's best known for — not only Tony Soprano but his henchmen of "True Romance" and "Get Shorty."
"I didn't feel like I was taking a risk," says Holofcener. "A lot of people said, 'Oh, no one's ever seen him in a role like this.' But if you watch 'The Sopranos,' he has an enormous range. That character wasn't just a bully."
Premiering the film in Toronto without Gandolfini, Holofcener says, is "bittersweet."
"I really wish he could have seen the finished film," she says, "because hopefully he would have seen how lovely he is in it."

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
Global boutique private equity firm International Real Estate Investment & Financing Solutions Group, better known as IREIFS, has its sights set down under.
In an interview with Deal Journal Australia, global managing director Pat Collins said the privately-owned firm, which manages around US$30 billion, has allocated around US$500 million to invest in Australia and New Zealand in 2013 and 2014.
"The motivation behind that decision is that we believe the U.S. economic recovery will still take another five to six years, so we're targeting stable regulatory nations like Australia and New Zealand as part of our broader Asian growth strategy," Mr. Collins said Tuesday.
Volatility in commodity prices hasn't stopped industries touched by Australia's mining sector from attracting big investment dollars. Even from as far afield as Germany.
MGPA, an investment manager backed by Macquarie Group Ltd., said its Asien Spezialfonds fund has made its maiden real estate acquisition in the Asia-Pacific region. It's paid 106 million Australian dollars (US$111.9 million) to acquire an office building in Perth, the capital of Western Australia state.
The fund is targeted at German investors seeking decent yields from relatively safe investments such as real estate.
Mirvac Group Ltd. has appointed Citigroup Inc. as financial advisor on a possible takeover bid for Australand Property Group, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
No offer has been made to date, the person added.
"We continually assess opportunities to increase shareholder value. We are also aware of our continuous disclosure obligations and there is nothing to disclose," a spokeswoman for Mirvac said in an emailed statement.
Wesfarmers is reviewing the ownership structure of a portfolio of its Coles supermarket properties worth 700 million Australian dollars (US$717 million), two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
The portfolio of around 25 of its Coles shopping centers, including the recently renovated Coles Gungahlin in Canberra, will likely be held in an unlisted trust to attract sovereign wealth and pension funds less concerned about liquidity, the people said. Centers across metropolitan and regional Australia will be included in the spin-off, with Wesfarmers continuing to hold a reduced equity interest.
A 200 million Australian dollar (US$205.2 million) tranche of the equity in a new property company to be spun out of Woolworths Ltd. has been allocated by sole lead manager Citigroup to co-lead managers, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday.
It comes after Woolworths outlined plans last week to create Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group through an A$1.4 billion initial public offering, which will see up to A$505 million of new capital raised. The IPO will be the biggest new listing on the Australian Securities Exchange this year.
Australian supermarket chain Woolworths is planning a 1.4 billion Australian dollar (US$1.45 billion) property demerger, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The fund–to be named Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group–will contain 70 shopping centers across Australia and New Zealand valued at between A$4 million and A$90 million each, the people said.
An equity raising of between A$400 million and A$500 million will be launched if shareholders approved the spin-off at the company's annual general meeting in late November, the people said.
Brookfield Asset Management has raised its takeover bid for Australia-listed hotel, retail and commercial property investor Thakral Holdings to at least 468.3 million Australian dollars (US$491.8 million), a person familiar with the matter said.
The revised bid of at least 80 Australian cents a share is at least 14.3% higher than Brookfield's 70 Australian cents a share bid made in April.
Thakral's independent directors who didn't recommend the earlier bid are likely to support the new offer, the person said.

As Canadian housing prices continue to climb and officials, including Bank of Canada Gov. Mark Carney, worry publicly about frothiness in the market, some analysts have been quick to draw parallels to the U.S. American homeowners, many of whom shouldn't have qualified for a mortgage in the first place, loaded up on debt and then watched as the bubble burst.
But there's a more accurate—and comforting model—for what's going on in the housing market, writes CIBC World Markets analyst Paul Holden.
Global advisory firm Rothschild has strengthened its team Down Under by appointing Duncan Wilmer Head of Real Estate for Australia and South East Asia.
Sydney-based Mr. Wilmer — a managing director — joins Rothschild Australia from Rothschild in the U.K.
"I am thrilled to be joining the team in Australia and leading the real estate initiative to build on the momentum that we have across Australia and South East Asia," Mr. Wilmer said in an emailed statement.
AMP Capital Tuesday announced the termination of its joint venture AMP Capital Brookfield and the appointment of new portfolio managers and analysts across its global listed real estate and infrastructure team.
All AMP Capital Brookfield real estate investment professionals in Sydney, Hong Kong and London will remain with AMP Capital.

An open atmosphere station is a bit of interesting tech that will never be built to its massive size and costs, I suppose.
Another thing from the Elysium movie that bugged me was the shoulder mounted rocket launcher (RPG?) that was able to shoot down a spaceship in lower Earth orbit. That sounds very implausible to me, even in the realm of Sci-Fi.

Just Moved to San Antonio
I just moved to San Antonio from Long Island, New York. I'm looking for any decent hobby shops or card shows. I mostly collect baseball prospects. I buy anything Bowman, from Inception to Platinum to Draft. Anything.
I've been to one store here so far, and I was amazed at how big of a selection they had, going back years. But pricewise, I'm not looking to spend 40% over what I was spending in New York. I can have my guys in New York send me boxes and pay less with shipping than at this store. I was getting one product for $50-$60, in New York. MAYBE $70 at most. They were looking for $95 for it. They did have comparable prices on some stuff, only a 10%-20% increase from prices back home or on blowout.
I'm just looking for somewhere that has a decent selection, with FAIR prices. I am willing to spend 10% more at a hobby shop. That's usually $5-$7, maybe $10, more per box. At least for the stuff I'm looking at.
ALSO, if anyone's in the San Antonio area and you are a baseball fan... I moved here because I got a job with the San Antonio Missions!! So PM me and I can get you some good prices, (possibly even complementary) tickets.
Looking for 2013 Bowman Chrome Adys Portillo Auto Red Refractor and Superfractor!!
Also looking for 2013 and 2014 Top 100 Prospects Low End Autos (i.e. Bowman Platinum, Inception and Sterling)

sorry to read this so late.. just posted about some shops in san antonio in another thread so i am going to do a copy/paste..
and remember... everything is bigger in texas.. including the price tag! lmao
i dont live in san antonio, but i live close. i know of 2 open card shops. One in north central sa and one on the north east side. Both are good guys.
Sports Cards Plus - 2239 Lockhill-Selma - Charlie - Considered a bit expensive, but lately charlie is starting to deal. Tell him robert from laredo sent ya! (might make it worse? LOL)
Whats on Second - 4177 Naco Perrin - Bruce - Easy Going, will keep ya there all day talking sports and is easy to make a deal with. I spent 4-5 hours talking and looking (and buying) one time til i had to go get someone from the airport... if not i woulda stayed til he closed.. lol
Both have large inventories. Charlie has more newer stuff and bruce has alot of vintage as well as $1 jersey cards (if it matters to you). Both have "hot boxes" which i dont buy, but i remember someone pulling a jordan while i was there that was supposedly expensive..
Ted from Tedz Collectibles closer to downtown closed and decided to do auctions. He was super cool. Wish his shop would open back up, but the last time i passed by, it was storage for auction items. You can check him out at 2337 Vance Jackson. I believe his auctions are every saturday at some hotel CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN :-P
good luck!
