Housing fund lags in ND oil country
The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency records obtained and analyzed by The Associated Press show that only a handful of the hundreds of businesses benefiting from the oil bonanza have contributed to the housing incentive fund in exchange for tax credits.
The Legislature last year increased the amount of money to finance the credits from $4 million to $15 million. The housing finance agency's program gives individuals and businesses a dollar-for-dollar tax credit; contributions can be designated for specific projects or regions.
But more than $8.3 million is needed by the end-of-year deadline to finance the credits or several hundred units may not be built, said Sarah Mudder, a spokeswoman for the housing agency.
"Without adequate contributions, projects cannot break ground," she said. "Projects that don't get their money could go away."
Farmers Gary and Alvina Skogen contributed what they could to the fund aimed at building affordable housing for seniors and others.
"Some people are victims of the boom and that's what we were thinking when we designated our dollars," said Alvina Skogen, who has seen locals driven out of western North Dakota because of skyrocketing rental and home prices due to the region's historic oil rush.
Ninety-two percent of the fund's contributors have come from "ordinary people" like the Skogens, Mudder said. The contributions from nearly 250 individuals have ranged from $100 to $150,000 and total $2.1 million, or about 32 percent of the sum raised so far, she said.
Seven financial institutions have given a total of $1.4 million to the fund, including a $1.2 million donation from Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank, records show.
Fifteen other businesses have contributed just more than $3 million to the fund, including $2.5 million from Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. and $225,000 from Belfield-based MBI Energy Services, records show.
Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, said his group has strongly encouraged its membership to contribute to the fund.
"We have spent a lot of time and effort trying to promote this effort," said Ness, whose group represents some 325 companies working in North Dakota's oil industry.
Ness said beyond the taxes the industry pays in North Dakota, oil-related companies in the state also have donated tens of millions of dollars to everything from day cares to hospitals to volunteer fire departments.
"The list is very long," Ness said. "Industry is paying for a whole lot of things."

Where to stay
As a popular tourist destination, Mallorca boasts a plethora of accomodation sites. However, don't expect to find something without booking in advance: during high-season, crowds of tourists have already occupied most places and during off-season, many hotels close completely. Booking a finca in the country can be done via the internet for reasonable prices almost in every corner of the island. Camping is difficult: as there are only one or two official camping sites, and wild camping is tricky (everything is steep, stony, fenced-off or all of these), think twice.

Gear Review

Amazingly Innovative
I already own a few stoves (Windpro and Gigapower) that treat me well, but I was looking for something that would be more efficient and reliable for trips when gourmet cooking wasn't required.
Boy, does this thing live up to its reputation. I won't repeat everything others have said (amazing altitude performance, consistent performance throughout the life of the canister, etc.) because they are all true.
One particular thing that was most impressive, though, is the level of efficiency. With the pot off, it feels hot in a large radius (several feet above and several inches off to the side) - just like any other stove. When the pot is placed on it, though, a ridiculously large amount of the heat is directly up through the pot. When on, you can place your hands very near the sides of the burner/pot and not feel the heat, unlike other stoves where the sides still remain very hot when near them.
The Reactor's design is, simply put, amazingly innovative. If you're considering a purchase, go for it. You won't regret it.

Alexei Ramirez added an RBI-single in the eighth, while Adam Dunn and Dayan Viciedo hit back-to-back solo homers in the second inning for Chicago, which has won two-of-three. Jake Peavy struck out six over seven innings of two-run ball as he improved to 5-and-1. Addison Reed closed it out for his 12th save. Oswaldo Arcia and Trevor Plouffe plated a run each for the Twins, who have alternated wins and losses over their last six games. Kevin Correia permitted four runs and nine hits in seven frames to fall to 4-and-3 with the loss. Game three is today, coverage begins at 12:30pm on 860 AM KNUJ.

Malaysia-China Trade and Investment International Conference 2011Palace of Golden Horses
Mr. Kerk Loong Sing, Chairman of MCTIC
H.E. Chai Xi, Ambassador of the Peoples Republic of China to Malaysia
Dato' Bong Hon Liong, President of Malaysia Chinese Chamber of Comemrce
Members of the media
Ladies and Gentlemen
It gives me great pleasure to be here. Congratulations to the conference organisers for putting together this platform for dialogue and interaction in the interest of our shared future as Asians.
And thank you for inviting me to share my perspectives on a "New Asia for the Asian Century". I will argue that we must not take the Asian century for granted and that a new Asia, differentiated by greater assertiveness on the global economic platform, stronger trust and collaboration among Asians and more agile political structures, is needed to secure our future.
There is overwhelming consensus that the economic centre of the world is irreversibly moving eastwards. Even before the Global Financial Crisis, the Asian region already had over half the world's population, producing three tenths of global GDP (PPP), and consistently recording superior economic growth rates. With the West mired in economic uncertainty and political indecisiveness, the discourse has shifted – when China will become the world's largest economy? How much more will Asian living standards improve compared to their Western counterparts?
Indeed, the prospects are mouthwatering. Larry Summers of Harvard, in comparing the impact of Asia's ascension with that of the Industrial Revolution in the West 200 years ago, contextualises it quite well: "[Industrial Revolution caused] noticeable changes in standards of living in a human life span – changes of perhaps 50%. By comparison, however, at current rates of growth in Asia, standards of living may rise 100 fold, 10,000% within a human life span."
On the face of it, there is good reason to be optimistic, with our strong economic fundamentals and young, productive and huge workforce, underpinned by the adoption of a number of Western values and practices such as free market economics, science and technology, meritocracy, pragmatism, culture of peace, rule of law and education as well-articulated by Kishore Mahbubani and others.
In my view however, over the next few years, Asia must first successfully navigate the current global economic turmoil, build a more robust intra-Asian economic base and adapt to new socio-political forces for change in order to secure the Asian century. In other words, the teenage years of the Asian century are going to be absolutely crucial for us. Extending this analogy is also useful at this point – teenagers have a tendency of over-confidence, over-zealousness that can cause fatal mistakes and derail future dreams.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The global economy is so intertwined and interdependent that Asia cannot be immune to a major downturn in the Western economies nor an upheaval in Western financial system. The fact is that over half of China's foreign currency reserves of USD3 trillion are invested in US Government and corporate debt, and Western financial institutions remain dominant investors in Asian sovereign and corporate debt and financial markets at large. Furthermore, US consumers buy 5 times as much as Chinese and Indian consumers combined i.e. Asia cannot export to Mars and Asians don't buy enough, yet.
Tan Sri Andrew Sheng, advisor to both CBRC and the Malaysian Government, aptly describes the global economy as being "up the creek without a paddle". I would add that in this situation who knows what they will grab in order to stabilise the boat. What consequences, for instance, would severe protectionism bring to Asian economies? And we are often reminded that without sustained economic growth, even political support for economic models in Asia may also then be at risk.
In light of this huge risk, I question whether Asia is assertive enough on the global stage. I was very sorry to see how hopeless collective Asia was when the position of IMF Chief fell vacant recently. Despite much nice talk about the need to balance Western domination of global financial institutions, Asian governments failed to even unite behind one of many well-qualified Asian candidates like Mr. Liu Mingkang of CBRC or Tan Sri Zeti Aziz of Bank Negara.
If this is to be the Asian century, I think our governments need to ensure that Asia has a greater say on the global economic leadership stage and I fear that these next few years are so crucial that we are already late.
I was glad to hear about the recent establishment of a new think tank, the Fung Global Institute, by a leading business family in Hong Kong. I am told that it will be very well-funded and focused on "Global issues, Asian perspective". On a smaller scale my own company has a not for profit organisation called the CIMB ASEAN Research Institute (CARI) focusing on ASEAN economic integration. Certainly, these types of organisations could not only supplement the voice of governments but also originate Asian views and drive multi-government collaboration on issues.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The global economic crisis has amplified the need for Asian countries to be more balanced in their dependencies for economic growth, in favor of domestic demand and intra-Asian trade and investments. Fueling the latter must start with a re-evaluation of trust levels between Asians economic agents – individuals, companies and institutions. Too many of our agents are still wearing Western spectacles and are too quick to be suspicious of other Asians or simply too enamoured with what comes in Western packages.
For instance, how much of China's investments in the US actually comes back to Asia via Western financial intermediaries? I have huge frustrations competing for business in parts of Asia because even deals where CIMB has ample experience and credentials, we struggle to get invitations to tender; what more the job itself. It's either preconceived prejudice notions of fellow Asians or deeply ingrained preferences for Western banks. And how much more evidence do we need before we believe that our own Asian banks are at least as safe?
Of course trust must also come alongside the need to enhance platforms to exercise that trust.
Asia needs its own strengthened financial architecture to facilitate greater intra-regional investments. As our collective belief in our shared future grows, we must invest more in each other and do so directly, without the cost and risks arising from Western intermediation. There are of course many instruments for investing across Asian borders and we are seeing a proliferation in credible Asian financial institutions, asset managers, private equity firms and so on that are ready to facilitate this flow.
But is it just greater trust and we will see more flows between us? I think that there are also inherent biases in the present global financial architecture that we have to overcome. A case in point is in the credit ratings sphere where Western agencies dominate the world.
We need a pan-Asian rating agency for a balanced view of Asian credits. Despite the recent waves of downgrades across the West, I still find it difficult to understand how China (AA-) can be rated lower than Spain (AA) or how India (BBB-) can be rated lower than Ireland (BBB+) (S&P Ratings). The implications of this ratings disadvantage are pervasive especially since sovereign ratings will typically limit ratings of corporates and banks in Asia. Asian nations and their corporates find it more expensive to raise capital because of the higher perceived risk, reducing their competitiveness. Asian banks' competitiveness is also undermined because of the lower credit marks accorded to Asian assets and also monies placed with other Asian banks.
At CIMB we have "put our money where our mouth is" as it were. We became the first ASEAN company to be rated by Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. We believe Dagong is the agency that is currently most likely to succeed to be Asia's ratings voice and we are happy to show our support.
Trade among Asian nations can grow with greater economic integration among Asian countries. Our region here, ASEAN, for instance intends to becomes an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015 which will give businesses the opportunity to operate as if in single production base country when operating anywhere in the region. ASEAN already has a free trade agreement with China.
I am a great supporter of AEC and my concerns all centre on pace and realities of execution.
For instance, let us look at ASEAN equity markets. At present ASEAN is just trying to tie-up some form of cross border trading platform between our stock exchanges. Such a plan is facing resistance from incumbent stockbrokers in each country and would only have limited impact.
I have called for a new ASEAN exchange which lists ASEAN's largest companies as a first step towards creating competitive scale for our equity markets. This will make ASEAN equities far more compelling for investors, from the rest of Asia and beyond. Ironically, because my idea does not depend on support of incumbents it probably has a better chance of success.
Obviously, the big challenge to this ASEAN exchange idea, and AEC in general, is political. Nationalism is such an easy sentiment to exploit, and increasingly as AEC gets closer, it will become more pronounced. Indeed today, ASEAN countries are competing for FDI, yet if AEC is around the corner shouldn't ASEAN countries be marketing together? Only yesterday we heard of the suggestion by an Indonesian politician of sanctions against foreign investors who choose export to Indonesia from neighboring ASEAN countries instead of setting up in Indonesia.
Indeed, across Asia I fear that politicians will put self versus national and regional interests in the very ways that are undermining efforts to revive economies in the West.
The world as we know it today is in an extraordinary state of transition – alongside the Great Rebalancing of economic power eastwards and the global economic crisis, we are also witnessing profound changes in its political landscape. Across the Middle East and Northern Africa, long-standing bastions of authoritarianism are being dismantled, unfortunately in rather traumatic and economically painful ways.
At the heart of this political reform is Information Technology and social media networks. In catalysing the unfettered exchange of information, views and values, the social media revolution is creating platforms for shaping opinions, galvanising public reaction and mobilising people with profound consequences.
Faced with such an awesome game-changer, governments, especially in the East find that they can no longer operate under the hierarchal paradigms of the past, where decisions are made behind closed doors and executed with unquestioning public support. Governments here will have to adopt greater openness, more debate and increased transparency. Such transitions will have to be managed carefully to avoid the kind of upheavals that bring at least massive temporary, if not permanent, economic hardships. At the extreme, political upheavals could derail the Asian century.
The Western political system, on the other hand, is facing a very different set of challenges. Western governments' responses to the Global Financial Crisis have been hamstrung by heavily encrusted political systems in which layers of deliberation originally intended as checks and balances have been captured by special interests. The executive powers of western governments seem neither quickfooted enough to address immediate financial crises nor far-sighted enough to address fundamental reforms needed for the long term. Public support has become increasingly fickle and political opponents correspondingly Machiavellian. In the words of Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf: "[Obama] faces an opposition that would prefer their country to fail than their president to succeed." In contrast to their Asian counterparts, the Western challenge is to bring more focality, or power for executive action in the nation's best interest, back to their government structures.
The world seems to be converging towards a political and governmental model with a new equilibrium between checks and balances and exercise of executive power in government. East is meeting West as it were, and I hope that where they meet, politicians have to place country ahead of self, long-term ahead of short-term interest. I hope that there will also be a place where Asian governments can work together better to secure the Asian century.
If we look at Asia's remarkable journey through the passage of time, we find that "The Rise of Asia" is nothing novel – we should be calling it "The Return of Asia" to be more accurate. The past 200 years of Western dominance is in fact a small aberration in Asia's long history of economic ascendancy; akin to one having a bad day in an otherwise stellar week.
I believe that Asia's best days are ahead of it but for Asia to get there, we need greater camaraderie amongst Asians, reflected in our collective voice on the world stage and greater trust, trade and investments between us. We will also need to adeptly navigate what, the potent combination of socio-political changes brought about by economic development, and the recent revolution in social media, demands of our political systems and leaders of today.
Thank you.

Norton AntiVirus 2010 - PC
4 out of 5
Range of innovative new features, fast and efficient scans, stylish new look, very easy to use
We've seen a few new arrivals in the security software market for 2010 so far but are yet to experience any dramatic improvements, certainly in terms of new features and innovations. Rarely one to rest on its laurels, Symantec has been busy putting an end to all that and the new version of Norton Antivirus has a series of new features that complement more predictable enhancements to performance and usability.
Typically fast to install, the software was up and running in around a minute and what's immediately obvious is that Symantec has revamped the interface with a snazzy new look. This is for both aesthetic and practical reasons and despite many of the new features being oriented more towards advanced users, things are still kept simple here with straightforward scan control, simple "on/off" switches for related components and direct access to scan history and quarantine. There's also details of network protection here, which offers similar control, and access to more detailed settings in these areas is still accessible to allow for fine tuning.
NAV2010 successfully scanned our test system in around a minute, which by means of comparison is only around 10% faster than the previous version of Norton 360, but significantly quicker than most other rivals. As Norton gets used to your system however, these times are reduced, and in fact we very impressed to see this drop to just 10 seconds during subsequent scans.
Part of the reason for this and one of the biggest improvements to this new version comes in the form of Quorum and the Norton Insight tools. The former represents a major breakthrough in reputation-based security and helps the software adopt a more cautious approach to managing "unknown" files, as well as offering the sort of scan-time improvements illustrated above.
Quorum uses reputation information to help guard against new and unknown threats and by building a database of Norton Community users it can help predict how safe a file is and therefore anticipate the arrival of potentially harmful data. It's also possible to view the trust level, resource usage and discovery date of everything running on your system, and by selecting a file you're provided with more details on its origins and activity.
System Insight is another useful tool and provides an overview of recent activity including downloads, scans, installed programs and threat detections to help more advanced users view and interpret recent activity and the correlation between this information, impact on performance and the emergence of threats. It's also possible to view CPU and memory performance graphs and identify which programs are responsible for highest usage, allowing users to detect and diagnose resource-hogs and potential reasons for reduced performance.
Admittedly these tools may not appeal to all users but Norton does a great job of making this wealth of information as accessible and easy to interpret as possible, and those who do appreciate having the tools available to do a bit of detective work will find them invaluable.
Norton AntiVirus 2010 is an excellent progression for the series, offering performance improvements, peace of mind and being very easy to use. The only thing that has prevented it from getting a higher score here is the price. At £39.99 it costs around the same as more comprehensive security suites on offer from rivals, and most would consider this a lot to pay for an "antivirus-only" product.
In comparison to Norton Internet Security 2010, which is only £10 more, NAV omits a firewall, identity protection, anti-spam and security for home and wireless networking, so in this light we'd be inclined to recommend spending a bit extra on the more comprehensive suite, which also offers the benefits of all of these new features.

The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

I want my money back!
I never thought of myself as a "crazy" fan. But I am, today, done with the franchise. They should never permit a non-Trek fan to make a Trek movie. Abrams has destroyed, figuratively and literally, the Trek Universe. He destroyed Vulcan!
I want my money back.
The actors (all except Kirk) were perfect. The special effects were great. All was good. But he destroyed the series with over forty years of history. Horrible.
I never thought I would be so dramatic but I want my money back. I purposely avoided all spoilers. I new that there would be changes, and alterations but I did not count on this nonsense.
I seriously hope this film fails and that there would be no more. Enough is enough. The franchise should end.
Crazy you say. Yes I am. I've said my peace. I don't see how true fans can enjoy this remaking or reboot or crap or whatever else one may call this .... ...Let me put a cadet in charge of the starship, and remake the movie into a pointless action flick for the average consumer... f...ck the fans.
That is what this film is a big f...ck the fans. They could have done a good film without a complete reboot.
Okay NOW I'm done.

"I love the fact that you could modify the colour effect of the picture. It makes such a difference & looks amazing. I was very impressed with the paper quality and printing. Everyone found the birth announcement very original and I got many compliments."
"I love how this card turned out! It is great for really featuring the photo with few distractions. I added rounded corners which looked great. By the way, I used this card for a child's birthday party inviation instead of an announcement."
"I searched multiple sites for the perfect announcement for my boy/girl twins. This one got so many compliments from my family and friends too! Tiny Prints cust service was very helpful on the phone and re-oredering(I needed more)was a breeze!"
"This was a perfect birth announcement for our twins, easy to design and easy to use. Everyone at Tiny Prints was great to work with! :)"
"These announcements were beautiful! I was very impressed with how they came out and I received SO many compliments on them. It was important for me to have a picture of the twins together, and then a separate photo of each baby individually. This layout worked perfectly for that."

Creating clarity in the pathway to higher education
A Series — The Beginning
J.R.R. Tolkien famously noted that not all those who wander are lost. Yet, as I continue to work with students in transition, it is evident they are more lost than ever. It does not matter if the student is coming directly from high school, transferring between schools or looking for new skills in a changing labour market — each is fundamentally lost. This confusion is a significant contributor to why I believe higher education institutions need to begin the process of creating signature experiences. While I could talk at length about the necessity of these experiences, I'll focus on how higher education has come to a place of needing them.
While some practitioners might argue the experience is necessary due largely to the shifting characteristics of the modern learner — and they would not be completely wrong — it has more to do with commerce. Through some research and a lively discussion in a course I teach, the notions of functionalism and rationalism came to my attention. As I began to better understand the roles of these philosophies in the history of higher education, I came to appreciate their impact on how learners are navigating this ever more complex system. Consider the current higher education landscape in Canada: Can you tell the difference between a university and a college? In the 60s that question would have been much easier to answer for two reasons. Firstly there were not nearly as many citizens who were wealthy enough or eligible for education. Secondly the college system emerged long after the establishment of the university.
Today it is hard to recognize the fine differences between these two institutions. In other provinces and countries around the world the solution has been to merge the two, as has recently happened in British Columbia and Russia. What does a prospective student see looking out at the higher education landscape? An overwhelming mix of messaging that appears to pin theory against 'hands-on' or applied learning. Going back to the reference of the 60s it was a clearer choice. Are you looking for a broad intellectual education focused on better understand yourself and the advancement of society? Go to a university. Are you looking to take a compressed industry readiness program to fill an immediate need in the local labour market? Go to a community college. That is no longer the case.
As community colleges drop the title 'community' and in some cases even the 'college' it is harder to tell them apart from universities. Colleges offer degrees, industry-backed research, cooperative education, and international exchanges, and they're building campuses that rival their university counterparts.
And with declining birthrates, a shifting economy, and four decades of colleges advocating job readiness programs, universities have had to take notice. It is now more common than not at universities to have smaller classrooms, more community access, and access to research and publication opportunities in the first year. That's not to mention the opportunities afforded by internationalization: You can be a student in any country at any given time, thanks to the advent of the Internet.
Given the degree of confusion from those looking down the road of higher education, there are three possible solutions to improve the overall experience for students:
- Draw a proverbial line in the higher education sandbox: colleges embrace empiricism and universities rationalism
- Merge the two-tier system into one: a singular institution of higher education
- Create a feeder system that works: colleges feed directly to university or an apprenticeable trade
Over the next three postings, I will explore each possibility, outlining the concept, features, and advantages and disadvantages of each — while keeping in mind the requirements of the 21st century learner.
If the current structure of higher education is to survive the rapid evolution of technology, it must provide what technology cannot: a unique signature experience for the learner. So I conclude with this question: What is your institution's signature experience?

PHILADELPHIA -- The small lineup that allowed the Indiana Pacers to beat the 76ers 109-98 Monday night is a tactic that has been effective for much of the season.
The players like it, and coach Jim O'Brien hopes to employ it as much as possible in the foreseeable future.
"The small lineup from the standpoint of the difference of small versus big is over 320 points for the year," O'Brien said. "That's a pretty dramatic difference. We'll go with it as many games as we can for as long as we can because that's our best lineup." ...

According to the 2010 census, the city has a total area of 3.09 square miles (8.0 km2), of which 3.06 square miles (7.9 km2) (or 99.03%) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.078 km2) (or 0.97%) is water.[2]
The City of Staunton is split into four wards in order to maximize efficiency in civic maintenance and representation. The city is divided into its east and west by Union Street and into its north and south by Main Street. The first, second, third, and fourth wards are in the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest corners respectively. Each ward is represented on the city council by two alderman, one serving a four year term, and one serving a two year term.
As of the census[3] of 2010, there were 5,139 people and 2,258 households in the city. The population density is 1,678.3 inhabitants per square mile (647/km²). There are 2,153 housing units at an average density of 943.6 per square mile (364.6/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 97.6% White, 0.3% African American, 0.3% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.01% from other races, and 1.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.74% of the population.
In 2000, there were 2,020 households out of which 32.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 53.6% were married couples living together, 11.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 31.5% were non-families. 28.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.45 and the average family size was 3.00.
In the city the population was spread out with 25.6% under the age of 18, 8.1% from 18 to 24, 27.4% from 25 to 44, 20.5% from 45 to 64, and 18.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 91.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 84.8 males.
The median income for a Staunton household rose from $35,893 in 2000 to $43,720 in 2010, and the median income for a family was $44,630 at the turn of the millennium. Males had a median income of $35,000 versus $21,121 for females. The per capita income for the city was $16,905. About 4.0% of families and 6.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 10.0% of those under age 18 and 4.0% of those age 65 or over.
Staunton has maintained a relatively stable population for the past 100 years. The city reached its peak population in 1920, with a population of 6,027. It suffered a decline until 1950, when it reached 4,047. Since then, it has been growing modestly, although its growth is not keeping pace with the country as a whole (see table).
Population of Staunton and nearby cities and villages[edit]
†No census data gathered for Livingston in 1900, since it was not yet incorporated.
As the above data shows, Staunton experienced quite robust growth in the early part of the 20th century. Compared to other cities/villages in the area, Staunton has held its own relatively speaking. While standouts such as Edwardsville have continued to experience robust growth even to this day, Staunton's modest growth is favorable when compared to neighboring Livingston.
History [8][edit]
Name origins[edit]
A man named Stanton bought land in the area, and then decided to move on and gave the land to the village for a square. At the meeting to discuss the post office someone suggested they name the village Stanton, a nod to Mr. Stanton. The suggestion was accepted and the application for a post office at Stanton went off to Washington, D.C. There the clerk who handled the request must have thought those westerners couldn't spell. The grant came back with the name spelled S-t-a-u-n-t-o-n, which is the name of a town in the Appalachian region of Virginia. It would take time and effort to have the error corrected, and little attention seemed to be given to the discrepancy.. Staunton, Virginia was and still is pronounced "Stanton". And so it was in Staunton, Illinois for many years. Some say that the people here began saying Staunton as we do today only after their throats were so full of coal dirt that they could no longer say Stanton. (Source 1)

- 1904: Illinois Traction System passes through Staunton
- 1910: Staunton achieves a population of 5049 (biggest city in Macoupin County at that time). Note: Although these numbers prove that Staunton was prospering, some had
predicted that it would be three times this size by 1912. A real estate ad taken from the Staunton Star-Times on October 14, 1907 urges citizens to buy land quickly, as "Staunton will become a city of 15,000 people in five years' time and every lot in McKinley Addition will double or triple in value". (source 2) Although a good marketing ploy, Staunton would never approach even half of that anticipated size, and still today remains at only a third of that predicted population.

- 1922: Staunton Country Club established

- 1959: Staunton celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of Village incorporation
o The Centennial Celebration lasted from June 28 through July 4, 1959, and included games, a parade, and concessions. One interesting happening was the "Judging of the Beards", or the "Brothers of the Brush" contest, in which members of the community grew long beards to show respect and to honor those of past generations. (source 1) Note: Proprietor of Moore's Barbershop ran this contest, and ironically, since he was a barber, it probably hurt his own business for a while. However, the celebration of Staunton's history must have taken precedence, and many see his actions, as well as others who dedicated time and money towards the Centennial Celebration, as indicative of Staunton's close-knit and dedicated community members. The beards have also been thought to represent a socially acceptable way for males to escape the conformity of the 1950s. Either way, the celebration indicated a proud and thankful citizenry honoring its community's history.
- 1971: City Complex built (Library, City Clerk's Office, Police Station)
- 1991: Staunton celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of City Charter (less lavish than 1959 celebration)

- 2013: Staunton earns IHSA Class 2A Runner-Up title in football after a 40-13 defeat at Northern Illinois University's Husky Stadium to the Comets of Sterling Newman Catholic High School. The Bulldogs hurdled Fairfield, Carlye, rival Gillespie (which had defeated them in the regular season), and Auburn on their historic playoff run before falling to the four-time state champion Comets.
Ethnic background of settlers[edit]
- Mostly from Germany in the mid-1800s (first German family in 1846)
- Irish immigration in the 1870s
- Italian immigration in the early 1900s
Coal mining[edit]
- Henry Voge opens first coal mine in 1869 ("The Gin Shaft")
- Coal Mining characterized the city for nearly a century
o Two large mounds of slag that rise from prairie farmland on the outskirts of Staunton tell much about the history and the present status of the small city. The size of the piles indicates many years of deep shaft coal production, while the weeded erosions indicate the tipples have been idle for years. Mining started here shortly before the Civil War. It ended shortly before World War II. When the shafts were operating, they provided most of the employment in the town. (Source 3) Note: although it has been said that coal mining had started in Staunton before the Civil War era, I found no indication of that in any other source. All of these indicate that coal mining first started in Staunton in 1869.
- Staunton Local 755 becomes largest coal miners' union in the state
o The Labor Temple was built in 1914 by the Local Miners Union. The front doors of this fine structure opened onto an attractive lobby with a wide stairway to the second floor on the right and a ticket office centered between two entrances to a large auditorium which had a sloping floor, aisles between three sections of comfortable seats and in front a large, well-arranged stage. This auditorium had the first air conditioning system to be found anywhere within thirty-five miles of Staunton. From Tuesday through Sunday it was a theatre showing first-run movies for many years. The musical film Don't Give Up the Ship gave inspiration to local high school students in writing the Staunton High School fight song Don't Give Up the Fight. The first Monday of each month the Miners Union held their meeting there. The other Mondays could be booked for graduations, dramatic or musical productions by local groups, speakers, etc. Upstairs were toilet facilities, several small conference or committee meeting rooms, and a large hall where lodges met and dances and receptions could be held. (Source 1)
The last coal mine in Staunton closed down in 1951.
- Lutheran Church established in 1847 (first school building in 1881, though some instruction took place before that time)
- Catholic Church established in 1867 (first school building in 1904, though some instruction took place before that time)
- Many other denominations have establishments in Staunton
World War I[edit]
- Observers generally recognized that during the spring and summer of 1917 the American people, at least in the Midwest, were not fervent supporters of the war. As the United States rushed towards open hostility, even President Woodrow Wilson remarked on the "apparent apathy in the Middle West". (Source 4)
- In Staunton, the area's first organized opposition to the war emerged, as well as some of the first riots in support of U.S. intervention. During two evenings in early
1918, the local union decided, through vigilante tactics, to "Americanize" the City. (Source 4) o With one man at the head carrying a large American flag, the mob made its way to various homes in Staunton where…persons whose loyalty was not of the 100 percent kind resided. At each of more than one hundred houses visited, the crowd hammered on doors and forced men inside to come out into the street where they were required to kiss the flag, sign loyalty pledge cards, salute the flag, or make other manifestations of patriotism. (Source 4)
- This display of "superpatriotism" was heralded throughout the area (even as far as Chicago).
o Following the two nights of loyalty demonstrations in Staunton, the area's press gave enthusiastic support to the actions. The Staunton Star-Times announced that "the members of Local Union 755 [were] to be heartily congratulated on what they accomplished"…Other district papers not only supported the Staunton superpatriots but implied that such actions were required elsewhere in the area. The Mt. Olive Herald congratulated the Staunton patriots and issued a warning: "To Staunton belongs the honor of being first in the county in a real loyalty demonstration…In the future anyone with pro-German tendencies will do well to keep their mouths shut"…The Gillespie News commended the citizens of Staunton, and explained that while "we are not believers in mob violence…under the existing circumstances we are for it, and every man who took part in the Staunton demonstration should be given a medal"…And the Chicago Tribune commended the Staunton crowd for its "zealous Americanism". (Source 4) o The Governor of Illinois supported what the local union did in Staunton. "The people in Staunton who took the 'Pros to a cleaning are not mobs…. They were the best citizens that can be found in the great state of ours." (Source 4)
- German dropped from the curriculum at Zion
Great Depression and World War II[edit]
- WPA projects
o Library Mural "Going to Work". Note: This mural, along with several others in Illinois, was the subject of a documentary film about art done under federal sponsorship during the Great Depression. The film, which was tentatively titled Silver Lining, was sponsored by the Illinois Bicentennial Commission and the Illinois Arts Council. (Source 5)
- Many joined the Armed Forces
- Staunton becomes a commuter work force (as it is today)
Staunton Star-Times The Staunton Star-Times has been Staunton's newspaper since 1878.[9]

The Staunton Municipal Band celebrated a special anniversary season in 2013 in celebration of the 150th year the band had been performing. In recent years, the band has consolidated with the municipal bands of Gillespie, Mt. Olive, and Benld to form the recently renamed Heritage Community Band. The band traditionally performs three concerts on Memorial Day in addition to a four week season in Mt. Olive and a five to six week season in Staunton.
The Staunton High School band has been recognized across the continent for its excellence in marching performance. During the sixties and seventies, the "Red Shoes" were the band of choice for the Governor's escort in the State Fair Parade. Notable trips are marked by performances at the United States Air Force Academy, Niagara Falls, New York City, and Walt Disney World. After Director Marshall Cloyd left the district, the band took up the handle of Marching Bulldogs, and in 2002 the Bulldogs unsubscribed from their previous status of being an all-brass ensemble. Since 2012, the Marching Bulldogs have been under the direction of Brian Lotter, an SHS alumnus.

you put a control character in the filename. use tab completion.
or do:
ls -l /etc/X11/XF*
file /etc/X11/XF*
vi /etc/X11

cat /tmp/blah
then mail the file "typescript" to vox-tech. unless it's huge. if it's
huge, send it to me instead.
point of info: when you were at the installfest, we didn't have a net
connection (the first thing we would've done is go to the linux-laptop
website). we have net access now, so you can bring the laptop to the
next IF. unfortunately, that's a little far off, i would suggest going
there and looking up your laptop.
they often have canned XF86Config-4's for you to download and use. they

This seems like a silly addition, but I'm a simple man with simple needs. I like playing local co-op and gathering my buddies around every other Sunday for an impromptu Tekken throwdown, a Gears of War Horde rush, a Wii Sports tournament, or some Spec Ops. Not having to spend an extra R800 bucks on another controller would go along way to making that happen sooner rather than later.

Living with a Husky TE510!

Allergic to Asphalt!
Joined: Oct 2004

Oddometer: 7,623
So I finally got to put some real off-road miles on the bike.
Me likes:
The bike is great and handles better than the XR. It feels more nimble and maneuverable, where as the BRP and that rock solid straight line speed, just what it was designed for in Baja, but was a bit of a brute in the tight stuff.
Power delivery on the EFI TE510 is nice an linear. At first it feels like it's laking a bit compared to the snap of a carbed bike, but once you get in the dirt the smooth, electric like power delivery is great. It really helps put the traction down.
On a side not the EOM Karoo-II's are awful. The rear is OK and does a decent job, but the font is abysmal and tends to wash out really badly. I plan on putting some real dirt rubber on there soon. I'm initially thinking of trying out the Maxxis IT Desert Tires. I'll put those on before I go to White Wash in March.
The vibes are still there, but you hardly notice them when riding off road and on terrain like this:
Suspension wise I'm digging the bike. The forks are still a bit stiff, but they are still not fully broken in. Even so they are working much better on the rocks than the professionally re-valved forks I had on the BRP. I wonder if this is due to the steel vs. aluminum frame of the two bikes. The BRP would just beat me up on the rocks, while the TE seems pretty smooth.
The only issue I had was the bike running a bit hot. Temps were around 60F and the fan stayed on most of the time. Granted it was rocky 1st and 2nd gear two track I was doing.
Here are a few more pics from the days ride:

On December 3, the two prisoners took the policemen to their residences in Hardev Nagar in the Capital, after they were produced in the Delhi Magistrate Court.
"It's embarrassing for all of us," Ashok Morare, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), said. The seven policemen report to Morare. Additional Commissioner of Police (Navi Mumbai) Fatte Singh Patil on Friday evening issued their suspension orders for dereliction of duty and colluding to help the two prisoners escape custody.
"We believe their food was spiked at the houses (of the prisoners, Gurcharan Singh Chahel and Sumit Narula). The policemen told their Delhi Police counterparts that they felt drowsy after eating something at the house," Patil said. A Crime Branch investigation has been initiated.
The seven policemen were arrested by the Delhi Police and booked under IPC Sections 232 (custody negligently suffered by public servant) and 34 (criminal act done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) on December 4. The two prisoners were later arrested by the Delhi Police.
Sub-inspector P V Kale and six constables were released on bail on Friday. It is learnt that they confessed to taking the two to their Hardev Nagar residence. They had allowed relatives to speak to the prisoners on court premises.
Chahel and Narula, wanted in several cases in the Capital and Mumbai, were escorted by the personnel on December 2 for an appearance at the Delhi Magistrate Court. The escort team had picked up the two from Taloja Jail, Navi Mumbai, on December 2, and completed formalities relating to the court appearance the next day.
"They will remain suspended till headquarters completes its inquiry is completed and stringent departmental action taken. The suspension order is dated from the day of the arrest," Patil said.

This really has nothing to do with my little one, but I just have this problem and I'm scared I may be pregnant again. Obviously it wasn't planned, at least not right now. My period really never started at the end of the month. I started spotting, and I've been spotting now for 10 days! I don't know what is going on. Pregnancy test last week (which is when I should have started my period) came out negative. Took it on friday. This has never happened to me before....maybe if anyone has experienced the same thing you can give me an idea of what it could be. I'm trying to avoid the doctor unless extreme emergency cause I dont' have any insurance for another 60 days.....I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
please read! not sure what to do....

I would test again. Also, my periods have been weird since they came back after breastfeeding. They are very long (for me anyway, I used to be 3-4 days tops) now they are 7-8 days, start off really light flow and dark, almost black for the first three days and then normal for 3 days and back to dark at the end (sorry if TMI:)
I would guess that you aren't prego since you tested negative after AF was due but I would test again to be sure.
I bet you are just having a weird, light period.

The few periods I had before getting preg again were really strange... I would test to make yourself feel better but it might just be stress or something else causing your period to be strange.

Try getting a few of the dollar store tests. For a buck, they are cheap and you can keep testing without costing an arm and a leg. I agree about stress maybe affecting your period. It has happened to me many times.

Do you/did you breastfeed? Have periods been normal until now?
I would test again, but if that one is negative I doubt you're pregnant.
