Nana Osei Kofi, known in his private life as Mr. George Atta-Sei Anane, has sworn the oath of allegiance to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, as the new Chief of Sabin Akrofuom in the Kwanwoma District.
He was selected by Otumfuo to succeed his uncle, Nana Kwaku Duah, an Obrempon of Otumfuo.
His mandate is to ensure that the people remain united for development in peace.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the swearing-in ceremony, advised the new chief to ensure that he improved the lot of the people, be transparent, and consolidate the gains of his predecessor.
The Ashanti King charged Nana Osei Kofi to protect government lands of schools being encroached, upon instead of serving the needs of the community at large.
The new chief has indicated that his focus would be on education, and ensure that all children of school-going age are encouraged to pursue formal education for societal growth.
Nana Osei Kofi has also pledged to discourage land litigation among his people, and that he would not encourage the sale of land to two different persons. He appealed to colleague chiefs to also desist from such acts, and allow peace to prevail in the Ashanti Region. Nana Afia Kwartemaah, Queenmother of Sabin Akrofuom, advised him to be tolerant in dealing with detractors, and focus on unity, peace and progress, for the benefit of all the citizens of the community.

Sandakphu / Falut - Sandakphu or Sandakfu is situated at an elevation of 3636 meters and is the highest peak in the state of West Bengal, India. It is close to the edge of the Singalila National Park on the West Bengal - Sikkim - Nepal border and is the highest point of the Singalila Ridge. Varieties of rhododendrons with plants like Streptous simplex, Trilidium govanianum, Primula rotundifolia, Fritillaria cirrhosa, Llydia and flora like Iris, Anemone, etc is found in this region. Sandakphu has a small hamlet on the peak with a number trekkers hut and a Public Works Department Rest House (PWD). The whole length of the Himalayan Range with the peaks of Kanchendzonga and Everest can be seen from its summit. Sunrise and sun set are brilliant. So is the snowfall and the scenic beauty around the place. which is known as the sleeping buddha or the sleeping shiva.
Sandakphu can be reached by treking from Maney Bhanjan via Tonglu, Gauribaas, Kalipokhri or motor able only via the legendary Land - Rover rather the legendary monster 4 x 4. On the route it is advisable to stop at Shikhar lodge, Tumling. The weather is pleasant and the temperature ranges from - 20 C in winter to 15 C in summer. Snowfalls in winters are a treat to watch. Phalut is nearly 21 kilometers through the forest, meadows (Bugials) from Sandakphu. There is no settlement in this route and the road is scenic with brilliant scenery. It is a tricky route as any left turn will take you to Nepal. Phalut is always the most brilliant part of the trek, of course if guest do not travel to Gurdung, which is also a unique place. It is a pleasant walk with more or less a level ground and with not many ups and downs and the scenery of the purple hills was almost magical and dreamy. Water and ready food is all that you need during the trek. Phalut has only a single guest house but the house has space for many.

Happy Halloween!! It's time for the last Wretched Recipe of the year! This one just sounded gross. The ingredients were nothing to unusual, but pudding? Noodles? Not sure the reason for this one. It takes a long time to cook (1 hour) and most casseroles take about 20-30 minutes. I just don't know.

Sports Editor
It's clear what Starkville High School football coach Jamie Mitchell and athletic director Stan Miller had on their Christmas wish list this year.
Unfortunately, Louisville football coach M.C. Miller wasn't willing to put on his Santa hat.
Until about two weeks ago, Mitchell and Stan Miller thought they had an agreement to continue the football series between the Yellowjackets and the Wildcats, one that dated back at least 50 years.
Mitchell and Stan Miller were shocked to find out that Louisville's M.C. Miller had decided to back out of the contract and play in a Classic game in Birmingham, Ala. It was the same event that Starkville turned down because it felt keeping the series going with Louisville was important.
Even though M.C. Miller said there were attempts to "move things around" so the Wildcats and Jackets could still play each other, it didn't appear that he tried very hard.
Stan Miller even called his friend Billy Wade, the superintendent of Louisville schools, to see if he could persuade his coach to change his mind. Wade said he was going to "stick with his coach on this decision."
M.C. Miller is a respected high school football coach in this area, who has won a large number of games and led the Noxubee County Tigers to the Class 4A state championship in 2008, but it seems he's way off base in this case.
Why would a coach decide to make a three-hour trip to play a football game to make it hard for fans to attend, rather than make the short 30-minute drive up HIghway 25 to play its rival in front of a packed house. It just doesn't make sense.
The fans of the communities are going to suffer because they look forward to these types of games. Starkville is always going to have rivals in West Point, Tupelo, Noxubee County and others, but the Louisville game was special.
It's not only the Jackets and Wildcats who won't be seeing each other on the gridiron for the next two years.
The Starkville Daily News learned this week that the East Webster Wolverines and West Oktibbeha Timberwolves have also halted their series for at least two years.
According to East Webster coach Jimmy Carden, the two schools which are only 5 miles apart just couldn't agree on a date.
"They had the third week open and we had the second date open to start with," Carden said. "As hard as it is to get scheduling done, we just picked up Okolona in the second one and they had Montgomery County in the second one and that's just where it went."
It's Carden's hope as it is with Starkville and Louisville that the schools can get each other back on the schedule soon.
With the anticipated reaction of the respective fan bases, the sooner the teams play each other again the better.

President's Update – Ethics Policies – September 9, 2009
The Board of Trustees of Fairleigh Dickinson University has adopted policies that establish standards of ethical conduct for trustees, officers and employees of the University. These policies are the Fairleigh Dickinson University Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Fairleigh Dickinson University Policy on Conflict of Interest and Nepotism. I'm writing now to again make members of the University community aware of these policies.
The Code of Conduct and Ethics prohibits trustees, officers and employees from using their positions to solicit or receive gratuities, gifts, money, favors, discounts, services, entertainment, kick-backs or other inducements from contractors and vendors, for themselves or any other persons. All University personnel are obligated to be truthful and honest in business dealings; to avoid conflicts of interest; to maintain confidentiality; to avoid misappropriation or misuse of proprietary data or other property; to avoid discriminatory or harassing behavior; to comply with laws; to protect University assets; to expend funds prudently; and to prepare truthful and accurate financial records.
The Policy on Conflict of Interest and Nepotism prohibits trustees, officers and employees from using their positions to influence University decisions to do business with organizations in which they, or members of their immediate families, have interests. Trustees, officers and employees also have an ongoing duty to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest. The policy prohibits faculty members from teaching members of their immediate families; regulates faculty consulting activities; and limits business transactions among faculty members and students. Nepotism in hiring, promotion and other employment practices is prohibited.
I strongly urge you to read each policy in its entirety on our Human Resources Web page under the Policies link. Violations of the Code of Conduct and Ethics or Policy on Conflict of Interest and Nepotism may result in disciplinary action against violators.
Any member of the University community who has a good faith belief that a violation of either policy has occurred is urged to submit a confidential written report to the Finance, Audit and Budget Committee of the Board of Trustees at the following address: Chairperson, Finance, Audit and Budget Committee, P.O. Box 2123, Teaneck, N.J. 07666-2123. Retaliation against any member of the University community who makes a good faith report of ethical misconduct is prohibited.
Any member of the University community who has questions or concerns about the Code of Conduct and Ethics or the Policy on Conflict of Interest and Nepotism may contact University General Counsel Wayne M. Richardson at 201-692-7071.
Thank you,
Michael Adams

GUEST COLUMN: THRS Intern Brian Bolt talks William & Mary Global Film FestivalFebruary 18th, 2013 at 8:03 am by Stephanie Cooke under THRS Movie Reviews
Special to The Hampton Roads Show
By Brian Bolt
For a town known more for tricorner hats than directing caps, Williamsburg, Virginia recently enjoyed its fair share of moviemaking glitz and glamour. This past weekend, the red carpet was rolled out for the sixth annual William and Mary Global Film Festival, an event surprisingly not lacking in celebrity. The pint-sized star of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, Jared Gilman stopped by the historic Kimball Theater, as well as Helene Bergsholm, star of the 2011 Norwegian film Turn Me On, Dammit! Pro skaters Tony Hawk and Mike McGill Skyped in a Q and A session about their film Bones Brigade, and Oscar-nominated director Behn Zeitlin Skyped an introduction for his widely acclaimed debut, Beasts of the Southern Wild.
However, it must be known that film festivals, like the giant, prehistoric swine Hushpuppy must contend with, are curious beasts, especially in a town like Williamsburg. They attract local retirees who have a passion for film as well as college students with a passion for free booze (kidding, they're cinephiles too). This peculiar blend of generations is at first startling but somehow manages to result in glorious conversations about classic rock and obscure filmmakers from the 1940s.
Personally, though, I had the pleasure of working as an intern for the festival, performing such essential tasks as tearing tickets and dispensing wine to the festival big wigs. Yet the most important lesson I learned was not that it is unhygienic to rip something with your teeth or impractical to use your hands to unscrew a wine cork. No, the most important thing I learned was that kids are kids, no matter how many silver screens they've graced.
It took about a day and a half, but I finally mustered up the courage to stride up to Jared Gilman and say hello. Actually, it was more like an awkward hover as other people spoke to him for a few minutes. However, in those key seconds, I had the opportunity to plan out my greeting to the syllable. It first struck me to use a Moonrise quote as a lead-in, but I quickly abandoned that as hackneyed, clichéd, and definitely something he'd see from a mile away. Then I decided for a more formal approach. Maybe something like "Prithee, good sir, have you enjoyed the marvelous films thus far?" This idea melted away with a swift shake of the head, but, before I knew it, the conversation in front of me had ceased and the fifteen-year-old eyes behind the hipster glasses locked gazes with mine.
"How are you enjoying our fair city?" I spat out.
My world was crumbling around me. This was far worse than my disastrous Newt Gingrich run-in where I chatted exclusively about meteorology. This was someone from film, a medium I absolutely adore. I had to fix it.
"I mean…there have been some cool movies, right?" I managed to sputter.
"Yeah," he said with a nod. "Some real cool ones."
Despite my clumsy verbiage, Jared turned out to be a very down-to-earth guy with a friendly demeanor. He and Helene were pros at taking a seemingly endless amount of pictures with fans (including me!) and they even took the time to talk to me about a movie I had submitted for the 24 Speed film-making contest. It was absolutely the highlight of my adrenaline-packed weekend when Jared told me he enjoyed my hastily cobbled-together movie. Even if it was just for a moment on Kimball's silver screen, I had managed to capture the attention of a person who had captured the attention of millions of other people.

It was clear from the Warren Hastings imbroglio that Lord North's Regulating Act of 1773 had made the British nation responsible for what happened in India, but not materially enabled the nation to construct and enforce policy. In 1782-84 debate polarized in London between the managers of Hastings's impeachment in Parliament (Lord North, Charles James Fox and Edmund Burke who favoured bringing Indian affairs under the control of the London Parliament) and a secret committee (Henry Dundas, William Pitt the younger and Lord Shelburne who favoured strengthening the role of the Crown in India). In modern terms this seems to be a simple case of democratic transparency versus secret autocratic dictat. The king naturally sided with …

GS News - Uplay PC Download Service Suspended
Ubisoft has temporarily shut down its Uplay PC download service after hackers were found to be exploiting the service.
by Sarah Lynch on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Join Jess McDonell every weekday for a punchy wrap-up of the biggest news to come out of video games!
Schedule: weekly
Host: Jess McDonell
Crew: Edmond Tran
out of all the new e-stores, origin, uplay, XBLA etc...Uplay at least gives u free content for your achievement points... that being said i hope all of them die a very painfull expensive death, nobody will do it better than steam, and no amount of exclusivity will convince me to move to origin, or any new service liable to die out in a couple of years... always on sucks and when a studio who makes an always-on game is shuttered its servers go down and your always on games become useless.
always-online doesnt prevent piracy
and used game sales dont hurt the industry
Not so always online now, are you :p
I didn't catch a word of the news. Johnny's Orlando Bloom-esque sexiness was too distracting.
Sandbox yeah! I'm checking out one very different style Age of Wushu.
Thank you for demonstrating why always online DRM/marketing applications are terrible. No information was compromised ... this time.
UPlay... USuck
Ubisoft sucks balls away, I'll never support anything they do...sold out PC gamers a long time ago!
Who pronounces it "ooo"play anyway ? (yeah, I know. Pointlessly picky but it does annoy me somewhat)
Always online DRM = always available to be hacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PAIN GOES BOTH WAYS!
Why do most major PC makers feel it necessary to open their own gaming service - for example Uplay? As a hardcore PC gamer for many years, I get ticked off when I buy a new game like Far Cry 3, and have to join a new gaming service to play the game. If Steam were the universal service used to download your purchases, it would streamline PC gaming.
Shutdown UPLAY and use STEAM!
Uplay fxxing noob, if you are unable to serve the endusers with good service, you can as well give up. Let STEAM handle all your shit.
PC gaming is just chaotic for developers. All the reason enough to avoid it.
The irony...oh the IRONY!
Bwahahahahahaha........ hahaha..... bwahahahaha! No sympathy here. I got shafted with a few purchases from them. &%$# you ScoobySoft!
Using the hack one was able to get basically every single Ubisoft PC title and a whole lot of EA games. The multiplayer ones wouldn't work, and some games only opened up with Steam so you couldn't get those either.
But yeah, pretty disastrous for Ubi. It was easy as hell to achieve as well, just minor notepad edits.
yeah , now we will get free games :D
dam hackers should be charged. hackers don't care
Hackers....Small genitaled bores
Ubisoft is stupid as hell. They shouldn't have uploaded Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon on the Uplay servers before it's even been announced. Now we can all literally download and play the entire game using torrents... and I must say it's a very fun and funny game.
Hackers are mean
seedy\peery parts of the net
Someone hacked the PC version of Farcry Blood Dragon for PC. Thats why all this sht is happening. WTF Uplay how can you suck?
Only use it on PS3 so...
oh johnny, ur so hipster.
money rules the world
lol seedy part of the net
lol, don't give a rat's ass about uplay
@HHscxz Spambot no! i'm not checking out one very different style Age of Wushu, mainly because it looks crap.
@CrisLG10 True enough. I still regret getting Mass Effect 3 via Origin. Should have done Amazon.uk
@CrisLG10 Agree, nothing worse than installing a game and getting a new service that you must have an account with, using their own username, achievements, friends-lists and the like.
@Mr_BillGates PC Gaming is the only true form of gaming available, everything else limits your options and forces you to do everything the consoles way. Look at GTAIV, they did a horrible job porting it to PC and yet PC gamers used mods to make it look better than some screen shots of GTA V. PC games are for people who like the take their games a step further, consoles are for people who buy Macs.
@Imperiacommando YOU SUCKS, HUMAN SUCKS, HUMAN'S GOD SUCKS.
@Imperiacommando We'll bang okay?
@Imperiacommando PC gamers hacked PSN too? Uh, yeah...
@Imperiacommando What about gears of war judgment 1 month leak and cracked, Crysis 3 3 week bfore launch on consoles ? who can't be trusted
@Imperiacommando stop trolling, ok?
@EzraPoore Weird because I thought the PC version of Farcry Blood Dragon was for the Gameboy.
@Psycold@Mr_BillGatesyou guys have to stop saying things like "PC gaming is the only true form of gaming" as if any other form is fake, (calm down please) because the fact of the matter is that it's (PCs) just another medium like anything else used to play games. It's more appropriate to say that PC gaming is more versatile. If it were the only true form of gaming, then I wouldn't own a console, handheld, smartphone etc, and I would just game on my PC because developers would no doubt develop for the truest form of gaming only were that statement true
@marich7 @Psycold @Mr_BillGates Cheers, I'm always for a good discussion that doesn't turn into poo flinging. :)
@Psycold @marich7 @Mr_BillGates and I couldn't agree more because as far as "developing"( a lot less broader than gaming) is concerned, I simply must concede the floor to you sir. The development stage is essentially done via PC no matter what platform the game ultimately ends up on. I just wanted to make the point that pure gaming can mean a lot things and it's opinion based. PCs are very versatile but I think that when talking about mods that's all development. Yes, that does indeed affect gaming but none the less it's still in the development category. The "gaming" begins when you play and while we PC gamers do enjoy the luxury/enhancements of mods and whatnot, we can't really measure the gaming experiences over such a broad spectrum and then say PC gaming is the purest solely on the premise that you and I happen to own both console and PC and have made a decision based on such. All we can really say is that we agree that in many areas PC gaming is superior and that's it because let's face it, sometimes there are things that you can actually accomplish better with a controller in an industry over saturated with FPSs but I digress man. Just replied to your comment for some friendly heated discussion and no more.
@marich7 @Psycold @Mr_BillGates But PC devs DO develop the purest form of game with the most versatility, even if they do a crappy job porting it they are still releasing it on a platform that people are always able to get into and change things around unlike a console where you play it their way or the highway.

Disillusioned but not disenchanted…

Book: Augustine as Mentor: A Model for Preparing Spiritual Leaders by Edward L. Smither
Every now and then I read a book solely because it's been spoken highly of, this was one of those books. The first line when opening this book reads "How could a fifth-century African bishop be relevant to the twenty-first century?" and goes on to note that "Many pastors today… are struggling in isolation without a pastor to nurture their souls."
The goal of Augustine as Mentor is to answer that question while providing for the concern of pastors in isolation. It is a text meant for aiding spiritual leaders in the task of mentoring, as well as being mentored.
The text is fairly simple in setup. It begins with a brief discussion of what mentor-ship is and uses the New Testament to develop a set of eight characteristics present in any good mentoring strategy, including: a group context, the mentor as a disciple, discernment in selection, a personal mentor-disciple relationship, sound teaching, modeling and involvement in ministry, releasing to ministry, and resourcing leaders. Following this introduction to the mentoring model Smither goes on to evaluate the most prominent First Century Christian leaders and demonstrate how each of them followed this model, including Cyprian, Basil, and Ambrose of Milan. This is followed by a discussion of who exactly mentored Augustine, so as to better understand his own mentoring strategy.
With this groundwork laid Smither comes around to the focus of the text, Augustine's approach to mentoring and his thoughts on mentoring, finishing up with a short chapter on mentoring in the contemporary setting.
Smither's work is certainly ripe with information and it can't be held against him that he doesn't provide plenty of backing to show that Augustine and the early church fathers did indeed employ all the characteristics of mentoring which he listed. And this is where he stops. As I said before, the first line read when opening this book is "How could a fifth-century African bishop be relevant to the twenty-first century?"What is my chief criticism of this book? That it doesn't bother answering the question that it starts out with.
The chapter on contemporary application is two pages long, that's two out of two-hundred-fifty-nine. The other two-hundred-fifty-seven pages are all just one big long list of examples showing how Augustine demonstrated each of the characteristics. Smither claims in the preface that "From this evidence I will make an argument for his principles and convictions for mentoring spiritual leaders." The problem is that he spent all his time putting forth the evidence and forgot to make his argument – the reader is left on their own to judge and figure out how to apply these characteristics of mentoring.
When reading a book one wants to know just what it is that the author is building up to, what insights they've gleaned through all their study. Smither shows you that he's done his homework, but doesn't bother to tell you what he's learned from it – it's all academia without application.
One thing I will say for the text is that it does serve to greatly widen the scope of just what it is that one should consider in terms of mentoring. It doesn't just say that an older person needs to take a younger person under their wing or use similarly vague analogies, but presents a wide number of aspects through which mentoring can be done. While I do think this particular aspect is helpful, I don't think it was the actual goal of the book.
Memorable Quotes:
Most of the memorable quotes from this book are themselves quotes from people other than the author, so I don't count them here. These aren't particularly memorable but they're about the closest it gets…
-"Mentoring and discipleship, as observed in the New Testament and early Christian writings, was the work of on Christian helping another disciple or group of disciples grow in their knowledge and application of the teachings of Jesus and the Scriptures."
-"His teaching philosophy was student centered, and discussion topics were driven by participants' interests because he believed that the external dialogue served to encourage the internal dialogue in each person."
-"As Augustine took on the cares of the ministry, his focus went from philosophical speculation to practical Christian living."
Specific Criticisms
Ok, a few more things to criticize about his book.
1) The book, which is called 'Augustine as Mentor', doesn't even start talking about Augustine as a mentor until almost exactly halfway through the book – that's 125 pages you have to wade through before you even get to the topic at hand. And not only do you have to wade through all that, but almost every point made in those early chapters in terms of mentoring strategy are just repetitions of what's going to be said about Augustine; thus, unless you just happen to want to know a little more about Basil or Monica (Augustine's mother) then in terms of this book there is absolutely no reason to read the second or third chapters (which between them are roughly 100 pages long).
2) The author is absurdly monotonous, and is entirely too fond of just listing things as if it somehow adds something to the text to have twenty examples of the same thing as opposed to one or two. Maybe he's just trying to show that he's not just picking a few isolated instances and extrapolating from them, and good for him if that's his goal, but he could have put all that in an appendix instead of cluttering up the main body with them.
The absolute worst instances of this are whenever he talks about how people wrote letters or books as a form of mentorship. Smither isn't content to just say that they wrote letters, he's going to go on for a few pages listing letter after letter that they wrote and giving a few word summary of what each letter entailed. Why? His only point is that they wrote letters, he doesn't go on to say anything about the content of the letters or tie it in to any grander scheme, he just thinks you might want a cursory knowledge of every letter and book Augustine ever wrote. Lets give an example:
"In Letters 42 and 45, written in 398, Augustine lamented that the had heard nothing from Pualinus and reiterated his request for Paulinus's book. Around 404, he wrote Letter 80 inquiring from Pualinus about how to discern God's will. In Letter 95, penned around 408, Augustine dialogued with Paulinus over the notion of eternal life while also responding to Pualinus's questions about the nature of the resurrection body. Also, Augustine posed once again a question about Christian leisure that Pualinus had apparently failed to address. Finally, Letter 149, written in 415, was purely an exegetical resource in response to Pualinus's questions on passages in the Psalms, in Paul, and in the Gospels… Augustine sent Letter 28 to Jerome via his disciple Profuturus in 394 or 395, though Profuturus was unable to fulfill the mission because he was ordained bishop of Cirta in 395. Meanwhile, the letter took nine years to get to Bethlehem… and on and on and on for TWENTY-SEVEN PAGES."
27 pages of list after list addressing letter after letter. What is the point of this? Why do I need these dates and letter numbers? why do I need to know that Profuturus wasn't the best choice for messenger or how long the letter took to reach Bethlehem? and most importantly, what insight am I gaining into mentoring by wading through this drivel, especially for modern-day application (which is supposed to be the point of the book)? The best thing I can compare it to is essays I wrote in college where I had to meet a certain page limit, and while I had tons of information I didn't necessarily have a thesis or a way to tie all the information together. My solution if the deadline was near was to just hope that I could hide behind a wall of information, hoping that my lack of exposition was masked by the sheer amount of info. This is the feel I get when reading this book, like Smither just had to reach a certain page limit and decided the best way to do that was to throw in a few dozen pages of fluff here and there.
3) Alot of what's pointed out are things that people are going to do anyway, just because they're people, like keeping up with folks after they move away, talking to them when they're having a hard time and pointing out where they're misinterpreting things.
4) Again, two pages of application. The one thing the author needs to do is balance his book. 99% evidence and 1% extrapolation is not a balance, its an afterthought – like he got to the end and said "oh yea, I was supposed to be making an argument" but only had five minutes before he had to send off his manuscript.

Cornelius Mayor Jeff Tarte officially kicked off his campaign for N.C. Senate Wednesday at the Cornelius Veterans Memorial Monument at Rotary Plaza, and later traveled to Charlotte to file for the election. Mayor Tarte is vying for the District 41 representative seat, along with Huntersville business owner John Aneralla, and on Wednesday announced 79 endorsements from local business owners, town and county leaders, and citizens.
"I like the guy," said Greg Wessling in opening remarks to the crowd of about 25 gathered at the monument. Mr. Wessling is a former Lowe's Senior Vice President and longtime friend of Mayor Tarte. "But what I most appreciate about Jeff is he's a business man," he said.
Huntersville Mayor Jill Swain introduced Mayor Tarte at the event, saying she believes he is right for small town America.
"He knows local government," she said, "and he will be a strong voice for our region."
Mayors Swain, Tarte and Davidson Mayor John Woods, who also endorsed Mayor Tarte, were all elected the same year and are now serving their third terms as mayors in North Mecklenburg. The District 41 seat represents the three towns, as well as Matthews, Mint Hill and parts of southeast Charlotte.
Mayor Tarte's experience in local government coupled with his more than 30 years experience in management consulting will serve him well in Raleigh, he said, and he plans to apply the same basic concepts at the state level that he has applied at the local level: Prioritize your needs, spend within your means, and cut taxes.
During his tenure as mayor, Cornelius earned a AAA bond rating with $11 million in savings, and the town has one of the lowest tax rates in the state. Also, the police department performs in the top 2 percent nationally, Mayor Tarte said.
If elected, Mayor Tarte plans to work on lowering the unemployment rate and raising the graduation rate, he said.
"Those rates are inextricably linked," he said.
And, "we need to let businesses do what they do best … create jobs," he said.
At one point during the event, Mayor Tarte held up three sheets of paper, each representing taxes – corporate, personal income, and gas taxes. He then cut the sheets of paper with scissors, a symbolic gesture that spoke to his goals if elected.
I will make you two promises, and they will be the only campaign promises I'll make," Mayor Tarte said. "I'll listen to you, and I'll work hard every day."
Mayor Tarte announced Wednesday that he has raised $75,000 for his campaign as of Dec.31, and is endorsed by the following:

Pastinha! Uma Vida Pela Capoeira
"Pastinha! Uma Vida Pela Capoeira" is a documentary film presenting one of the most popular capoeira mestres - Vicente Ferreira Pastinha, also known as Mestre Pastinha. In fact, Mestre Pastinha is the creator of Capoeira Angola. Also, he is often called "The Capoeira Angola Guardian" for his work on protecting the traditional capoeira style from the changes introduced by Mestre Bimba and Capoeira Regional. Capoeira Angola has been preserved through the years and is practiced by many capoeiristas nowdays. We should be thankful to what Mestre Pastinha has started.

The UpTake: Between the rapidly growing Bitcoin economy and future innovation stands more than a couple regulation hurdles. Today, one of the most influential Bitcoin organizations met with leaders in Wahsington D.C.
The Bitcoin Foundation today met with the Federal Reserve, and at least six other government agencies to plan the future of Bitcoin, the encrypted currency rapidly growing into a fully developed ecosystem. And just 11 short months ago, the Foundation didn't even exist.
"We view this as the beginning of a conversation about the appropriate role of government and law enforcement in this emerging space," said the Foundation's general council, Patrick Murck, in a statement provided to Upstart Business Journal. "Our hope is that this is the beginning of an open and transparent dialog between good-faith stakeholders to find common-ground and develop public-private partnerships."
Founded in September 2012, the organization has a three-pronged goal of standardizing Bitcoin through improving software design; protecting Bitcoin against counterfeiters and thieves; and promoting Bitcoin by giving businesses which participate in the ecosystem a clear avenue for communicating.
To give you an idea of how serious the members are, dues to the Foundation can only be paid for with Bitcoin. At today's rate of $122 per coin, an annual individual membership costs approximately $25, and a platinum industry membership, the kind Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox owns, costs $10,015 at today's rates.
There are currently approximately 800 members, inculuding Coinsetter, BitInstant and ZipZap—which were part of the 22 startups subpoenaed earlier this month by New York's most powerful financial regulator—and 127 anonymous members.
State, national, and international governments have taken their time reacting to Bitcoin, and by no means have they all come to the same decision, something Murck was quick to take a swipe at.
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals. A graduate of Columbia University, his work has appeared in the New Yorker. He is also the cofounder of Literary Manhattan, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Manhattan's literary community and creating new ways to appreciate literature.

I-90 Open From Rapid City to Wall
PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Department of Transportation officials announce Interstate 90 between Rapid City and Wall is now open. Interstate 90 between Wall and Mitchell remains closed, with no estimated time for it to be reopened. Crews are working to clear a number of stuck vehicles east of Wall.
Officials are asking motorists who are in Rapid City and headed east, to please stay in Rapid City.
The National Weather Service has said this storm will continue to intensify throughout the day making it impossible to predict when additional Interstate openings will be possible. If conditions continue to worsen as predicted, additional closures may be necessary before the storm passes through the state.
Motorists are reminded that a number of No-Travel advisories are still in place in central South Dakota.
Gusty winds and additional snow are continuing to create areas of blowing and drifting snow, snow-packed, and ice-covered highways across the state. Motorists are being asked to drive with extreme caution and travel only when necessary.
Travelers are encouraged to visit www.safetravelusa.com/sd or call 511 to check the latest road conditions and travel advisories.

Peterborough director of football Barry Fry believes the club could make as much as £4 million from promotion to the Championship.
Posh face MK Dons in the play-offs for a place in the final at Old Trafford and Fry is hoping the windfall will help cushion the blow of converting the Moys' End terrace to a seating area next year.
Fry said: "If we go up we start with an extra £3.5 million, maybe even £4 million just from the Football League award money."
He added: "We would obviously expect higher gates as well, but we will be hit by the changes to the ground.
"For example if we hosted West Ham in the Championship, their fans would want 5,000 tickets, but we could only give them 1,200 at most.
"That would be a blow for us, but the work on the ground has to be done."

Victim Stories
The following provides excerpts from the testimony of individuals who told our research team that they had survived or witnessed drone strikes, or lost family members in strikes.
Sadaullah Wazir, teenager, former student from the village of Machi Khel in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, was severely injured in a September 2009 drone strike on his grandfather's home.[1] Sadaullah has filed a complaint before the UN Human Rights Council.[2]
"Before the drone strikes started, my life was very good. I used to go to school and I used to be quite busy with that, but after the drone strikes, I stopped going to school now. I was happy because I thought I would become a doctor." Sadaullah recalled, "Two missiles [were] fired at our hujra and three people died. My cousin and I were injured. We didn't hear the missile at all and then it was there." He further explained, "[The last thing I remembered was that] we had just broken our fast where we had eaten and just prayed. . . .We were having tea and just eating a bit and then there were missiles. . . . When I gained consciousness, there was a bandage on my eye. I didn't know what had happened to my eye and I could only see from one." Sadaullah lost both of his legs and one of his eyes in the attack. He informed us, "Before [the strike], my life was normal and very good because I could go anywhere and do anything. But now I am not able to do that because I have to stay inside. . . . Sometimes I have really bad headaches. . . . [and] if I walk too much [on my prosthetic legs], my legs hurt a lot. [Drones have] drastically affected life [in our area]."
Waleed Shiraz, 22, was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and taking various foreign language courses before he became disabled.[3]
"My father was asleep in the hujra as usual after a normal day, and I was studying nearby. . . . I had liked studying in the hujra, because it is peaceful and quiet. There was nothing different about our routine in the prior week." Waleed recounted the subsequent sequence of events. "[When we got hit], [m]y father's body was scattered in pieces and he died immediately, but I was unconscious for three to four days. . . . [Since then], I am disabled. My legs have become so weak and skinny that I am not able to walk anymore. . . . It has also affected my back. I used to like playing cricket, but I cannot do it anymore because I cannot run."
"I have two younger brothers, who are both unemployed, and I don't have a father and I am disabled. I have been completely ruined. . . . [My brothers] can't go to school, because I can't afford to support them, buying their books, and paying their fees. They are home most of the day and they are very conscious of the fact that drones are hovering over them. [The presence of drones] intimidates them."
"If the drones had not become routine and my father had not died and I hadn't lost my leg, today I would have completed my MA in Political Science." Waleed explained, "I can't dream of going back to college."
Dawood Ishaq is a father of four young children who works as a vegetable merchant in North Waziristan.[4]
"I was going to [a] chromite mine for work. On the way, as the car was going there, a drone targeted the car. . . . All I remember is a blast, and that I saw a bit of fire in the car before I lost consciousness. The people in the back completely burned up, and the car caught fire." Dawood was taken to several locations for treatment, before he awoke in Peshawar. "[The] driver and I lost our legs . . ."
Adil Hashmi's house was destroyed in a drone strike.[5]
"A drone struck my home. . . .[At that time] there was nobody in my home [so] no one [was] killed. . . . I went back to see the home, but there was nothing to do. I just saw my home wrecked and came back. I was extremely sad, because normally a house costs around ten lakh, or 1,000,000 rupees [approximately $10,600], and I don't even have 5,000 rupees [approximately $53] now. I spent my whole life in that house. My father had lived there as well."
"[I now have to rent a house.] There is a big difference between having your own home and living on rent or mortgage. I enjoyed a lot of freedom and a lot of flexibility before. I have five sons and they all live with me in the house in Miranshah now. . . ."
Tahir Afzal's brother died in a drone strike.[6]
"It was in the afternoon around two o'clock and he was on his way to work. They were in a car. A drone struck and four people died in it, including children who were walking on the road. . . . There were lots of drones wandering over that day. They were wandering all over, and as the car passed by, it was targeted." Tahir told our team, "He was my older brother, and I miss him a lot."
"[Before, e]verybody was involved in their own labor work. We were all busy. But since the drone attacks have started, everybody is very scared and everybody is terrorized. . . . People are out of business, people are out of schools, because people are being killed by these drone attacks." Tahir emphasized, "It's not a [fictional] story. It's brutality that we are undergoing and that needs to be stopped."
Khairullah Jan's brother was killed in a drone attack. [7]
"[One day, [m]y brother was coming from college . . . . dropping his friend to his house, which is located behind our house a few kilometers away. . . . I was coming from Mir Ali Bazaar . . . going to my house. That's when I heard a drone strike and I felt something in my heart. I thought something had happened, but we didn't get to know until next day. That's when all the villagers came and brought us news that [my brother] had been [killed] . . . I was drinking tea when I found out. [My] entire family was there. They were crying . . . . [T]o lose such a young one; everybody is sad and it also affects the tribe, our community, as well. My mother is really affected. She is sad all the time, and my father is also heavily affected. At times he used to go to Peshawar or Karachi, he was outgoing, but now he sits at home."
"I have been affected. The love that I had for studies—that has finished. My determination to study—that is also gone. . . . if, for instance, there is a drone strike and four or five of your villagers die and you feel sad for them and you feel like throwing everything away, because you feel death is near— [death is] so close, so why do you want to study?"
Ismail Hussain's cousin was killed in a drone strike. [8]
"We were sitting together and my mother said Sajid did not come home. She said there was [a] drone [attack] and so my mother said to go ask about Sajid. . . . When I came to know that the drone [attack] had happened in the other village, I took my motorcycle to go to that village. . . . When I reached that village, people told me Sajid and some others were injured and were taken to the hospital. They didn't want to make me sad. Then I went to Miranshah hospital. I didn't meet with him because before I arrived he died. The body of my uncle's son was put into a box. I took it to my village. I placed it in the house of my neighbor during Fajr [dawn] prayers. At the time of Fajr, I took it to my home." Ismail informed us, "His mother hangs his picture on the wall. She looks at it 24 hours [a day] and cries."
Hisham Abrar's cousin was killed in a drone strike. [9]
"When the weather is clear, three or four [drones] can be seen . . . . They are in the air 24 [hours a day], seven [days a week], but not when it's raining. Every time they are in the air, they can be heard. And because of the noise, we're psychologically disturbed—women, men, and children. . . . When there were no drones, everything was all right. [There was] business, there was no psychological stress and the people did what they could do for a living."
"[The drone strikes have caused many problems:] [f]irst, it's psychological. Diseases that people have—psychological, mental illnesses. And that's a huge issue. Secondly, a lot of men have been killed, so they're the wage earners for the house, and now the kids and the families don't have a source of income because of that." Hisham noted that "[others in the community help sometimes, but [i]n Waziristan, there are poor people, and [victims] usually rely on . . . daily wage earning. That's only sufficient for themselves, so it's hard to help others. But whenever they can, they do."
Khalid Raheem is an elder member of his community.[10]
"We did not know that America existed. We did not know what its geographical location was, how its government operated, what its government was like, until America invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. We do know that Americans supported the Taliban in our area, North Waziristan, to fight off the Soviets. But [now with] the Soviets divided and broken . . . we have become victims of Americans. We don't know how they treat their citizens or anything about them. All we know is that they used to support us, and now they don't. . . . [W]e didn't know how they treated a common man. Now we know how they treat a common man, what they're doing to us."
"We know that the consequences of drone strikes are extremely harsh. Our children, our wives know that our breadwinners, when they go out to earn a livelihood, they might not come back, and life may become very miserable for them in the years to come." Khalid further explained, "Now we are always awaiting a drone attack and we know it's certain and it's eventual and it will strike us, and we're just waiting to hear whose house it will strike, our relatives', our neighbors', or us. We do not know. We're just always in fear."
Firoz Ali Khan is a shopkeeper in Miranshah.[11]
"I have been seeing drones since the first one appeared about four to five years ago. Sometimes there will be two or three drone attacks per day. . . . [We see drones] hovering [24 hours a day but] we don't know when they will strike." Firoz explained, "People are afraid of dying. . . . Children, women, they are all psychologically affected. They look at the sky to see if there are drones. Firoz told us, "[The drones] make such a noise that everyone is scared."
Marwan Aleem is a malik in his community.[12]
"My name is Marwan and I am from North Waziristan, in the area of Manzar Khel. I was born and raised here, as was my grandfather. . . . [D]rone attacks create widespread devastation. They have killed so many young men, who have left behind helpless young orphans. We cannot figure out when a drone will strike—they may strike in two days, three days, ten days, or a month—but they are always there."
Najeeb Saaqib is a malik in his community.[13]
"I belong to the Wazir nation. . . . I have a[n extended] family of 60 to 70 people. My sons and daughters were going to schools, [but] the schools were affected by the drones. I mean these attacks have been on schools, on maliks, on elders, and on different buildings. . . . [S]ometimes when people are moving in cars, they are hit. Sometimes when they are gathering with friends, they are hit. Sometimes when people are gathering to offer prayers to those killed, there are drone attacks on those people. . . . [M]y own relatives, close family relatives, have been killed. Elders of the villages, the maliks, the children of the schools, other children, all have been victims of strikes.
"[In one case,] [t]here was a drone attack on a religious teacher while he was coming in a car with some other people, after which he was brought to the village. A lot of people were gathering, the small children and families were gathered, and another drone attack happened, killing the small children. Two drone attacks in a single day."
Najeeb later told us, "We love unity. We love peace. We love to live in peace with other people as well."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by shakyilaa So Many Compliments! This tops is stunning and makes you feel dainty and beautiful. The lace on the sleeves is my favorite part also the neckline. Oh and the little dots. . so gorgeous. <3 12.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sisi80 Unique buy The top front and back detailing are what make this. It's uniqueness is what made me just have to have it. In person it looks very well made. You should be aware that it is completely sheer and probably should be worn with a tank inside. It is pretty true to size. I usually wear an xs in Free People and this is no exception. This top is just very different then what I've seen out lately so I would definitely recommend! 11.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kehammer Lovely I bought this top to wear on my honeymoon in Key West. It's very delicate and feminine, but not so delicate that I'm afraid to wear it during normal daily activities. I purchased my normal size small, and I'm 5'8", 135 lbs, 34A. The length is great, because I have a long torso and so many styles looked "cropped" on me. I wear it with a matching tank underneath, and it looks great with shorts, skinny jeans, or flares. Now that it's fall, I've been wearing it with an unbuttoned flannel shirt over it, which I think is a cute mix of tomboy and girly. Highly recommended! 11.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by yesimrona It's Gorgeous! It is very gorgeous and hangs gracefully as I expected. The colour is seasons best and looks nice.I'm M but ordered L 'couse this was my first FP clothing order.I'll take it to the tailor and make it M. I'm 5'8'' and 34B. I may say it's true to size.I's a great top that I can recommend. 11.9.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Lbout Love it!!! So beautiful but very roomy and long! This top is elegant and as gorgeous in person. My only issue is that it is longer and wider around the bottom than described. I have the same size as the model is wearing and I am 5 8" and it falls just below crotch area, it's not where it falls on the model and is wider. I need to figure out if a belt should go under or slightly tuck.....I have to work with it....but it's gorgeous!!! The teeny tiny buttons r a pain but...still love it!! 10.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 1bchavis So cute This top is so cute and so perfect. I loved wearing this for the summer. It shows your shape very well. I wore it just as pictured with the tank and boyfriend jeans. I loved the way it looks. 10.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kristenlturley Size Down Gorgeous top. I purchased in the wine/plum color. Very pretty! I usually wear a size small in clothing from most stores, but at FP I am a XS. I needed the XS in this, and it fit snug but not in a bad way around the armpit. Everywhere else was flattering as well. I'm 5'5" - 120lb - 32B- slender 9.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gauri Elegant Beautiful and delicate top----I bought it in the wine colour which is absolutely gorgeous. I have got many compliments and will be wearing it as much as autumn allows! 9.14.2013

This is the ZZ383 making its home in the engine compartment of the '67. It's a direct bolt-in, but know how you want to build it from here before you commit to the project. The Vortec heads are taller, as are the intake runners (.64-inch) and require a Vortec-friendly intake manifold. GM offers two carbureted Vortec manifolds: a tall one that won't fit under the stock small-block hood, and a shorter one that will. This car has the small-block hood, so we better go with the short one.
Naa. How about the Accel Street Ram tuned port injection made for the Vortec heads, with Accel's own runners, throttle body, and redesigned air plenum. The unit comes from Don Sutherland at Fuel Injection Specialties in San Antonio, Texas, (www.fuelinjection.com), who specializes in fuel-injection electronics, computers, harnesses, and all that makes fuel-injection work on any engine.
The beauty in the ceramic coating of these Hedman Elite Hedders is how they accentuate the aluminum heads, but it's also in the way they fit. There is plenty of clearance for all things concerned, even the rack-and-pinion steering system we have outlined for this '67. And with their 15/8-inch tubes going into a 3-inch collector, they will extract exhaust gasses quite nicely. And, after all these years, they're still made in the U.S.A.
As with any "aint quite stock" application, make sure you have room to do it. The stock small-block Corvette hood fits over the tuned port injection just fine almost. With the throttle body (not shown) installed to the front of the air plenum, we'll be into hood center brace territory. We knew this going in and will make provisions for it by "windowing" the center brace: cutting the fiberglass to make a recessed area for the throttle body, but preserving the strength of the brace by boxing it. This modification borders on burning a bridge, but it won't. We can always put it back to stock.
Stick to your master plan by installing the right pieces to achieve your final goal. This '67 is all about setting aside the original powertrain for preservation and installing a high-performance system that will bring this car into the 21st century. On the way out is the original 350hp carbureted small-block; on the way in is this 425hp fuel-injected small-block. We do this engine justice by installing high-performance components to complement it, such as a high-performance fuel-injection system to feed it, a high-performance exhaust system to efficiently extract exhaust gasses, and, yes, even a high-performance cooling system starting with this beautiful Weiand polished aluminum high-flow water pump from Holley Performance Parts. One look at this swirl-patterned casting and you know something is different about this pump.
With headers, there will always be a little custom exhaust work needed as shown on the bottom of our '67 full restoration coupe. Pipes will have to be fabricated to join the collectors to the openings in the crossmember because the system is obviously a different configuration now. Sometimes we run a stock system from this point back, or we like to run a 21/2-inch undercar chambered exhaust system from there to the back of the car-sounds kind of like side exhaust, only it's out the back instead of in your ear. With a high compression engine, it still annoys the neighbors. Yes!

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - More than 35,000 people enrolled in CoOportunity Health, the nonprofit health insurance co-op in Iowa and Nebraska, by the start of 2014, which surpassed the organization's first-year goal of 12,000 members.
About two-thirds of members are from Nebraska and the other third are from Iowa, according to the Des Moines-based health insurance group. The majority of membership is comprised of individuals, with more than 14,300 Nebraskans, and 8,100 Iowans, including those in the new Iowa Marketplace Choice Plan that resulted from the state of Iowa alternative to Medicaid expansion.
The remaining members are from approximately 1,300 employer groups.
Cliff Gold, CoOportunity Health's chief operating officer, said in November that the group anticipated enrolling about 7,000 Iowans by the end of its first year and between 15,000 to 25,000 by the end of its first three years.
CoOportunity Health also reported its membership split fairly evenly among those under 30 years old, those between 30 and 49 years old, and those between 50 and 64 years old.
The organization had projected enrollment goals of 12,000, 31,000, and 52,000 members in its first three years on its application for federal loans.
It believes the early success stemmed from its decision to sell on and off the Marketplaces as well as to offer products to employer groups and individuals.
"Exceeding our enrollment projections for the first two years, this early certainly feels good, but with that comes significant responsibilities to serve our member owners exceptionally well," said David Lyons, CEO of CoOportunity Health, in a press release.
The Affordable Care Act created health co-ops to provide consumers with more insurance options and to bring more competition at the state level. The Iowa and Nebraska Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan was one of the first seven co-ops funded and received approval in February 2012.
There are 23 co-ops across the country.

That is crazy useful. I didn't even notice that update in the latest PWSafe update because there wasn't much explanation of how to use it. I had to read your story 4 times and practice with notepad (to see what it was pasting) before I even understood how it works.
It appears that PWSafe, still running in the background, changes what is in the clipboard when you make the motion to temporarily put the iPhone face down. It's a truly brilliant solution to a common problem of needing to be able to input the username AND the password. Call me skeptical but I have to think that Apple is going to pull this app very soon and/or make them remove this functionality. This seems like something that they wouldn't typically allow and we call know how apple is (Camera+). Seems like it would violate some consistant user interface guideline. That said, I like it and it's very clever!
