RIR keeps both race weekends for 2013
Officials from Richmond International Raceway today announced that the track will continue to host two NASCAR weekends in 2013. The events will be held April 26-27 and Sept. 6-7, with the September Sprint Cup Series race again serving as the final race before the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (the circuit's playoff equivalent).
The total financial benefit to the region as the result of both weekends – each of which includes a Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series race – is more than $300 million, according to RIR officials.
"Bringing NASCAR back to Richmond International Raceway twice next year is huge for everyone in Greater Richmond," said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. "The money being pumped into our economy twice a year makes a big difference in the livelihood of the 1.3 million people who call Greater Richmond home. Hotels, restaurants, grocers and many other locally owned businesses will benefit when NASCAR flocks to RIR."
Tickets for the April NASCAR weekend go on sale Friday, Dec. 7. Fans who purchased tickets to this month's NASCAR weekend at RIR will be receiving renewal invitations in October. Guests who renew receive a savings on each ticket purchased, opportunity to keep their seats and may add or relocate seats before the general public.

text: University of San Francisco alums aren't the only ones striving to reduce humanity's ecological impact and take advantage of more efficient "green" technologies. In the last year, USF has invested in a fifth array of solar panels, moved to shrink sales of plastic water bottles, and established an administrative-level Green Team to develop strategies for a more sustainable campus.The largest capital outlay, estimated at about $375,000, went for new solar panels on top of renovated Kalmanovitz Hall. The installation, combined with panels already generating power on Cowell Hall, Gleeson Library, Koret Health and Recreation Center, and University Center, boosted USF's solar energy production from a maximum of 71 kilowatt hours to 420 kilowatt hours, reducing the university's carbon footprint by almost 330 tons a year, said Everette Ersery, assistant director of facilities."It has significantly reduced our carbon footprint and electrical bill, while reducing the amount of energy we and PG&E use," Ersery said.In addition, a growing number of eco-friendly initiatives are finding support from the Green Team, which first met in October 2007 with the support of USF President Stephen A. Privett, S.J. "The Green Team's purpose is to look into how we can make USF more sustainable by lessening the carbon footprint of the campus so that we are a better citizen of the world," said Glenn Loomis, Green Team chairman and USF community relations director. Among the projects the Green Team supports is the installation of water "refill stations," water fountains with eight- to 10-inch curved spouts, around campus. The decision came in response to student lobbying and the launch of the student-led Trust the Tap campaign to eliminate plastic water bottle sales on campus. The campaign, which consisted of water taste tests, art exhibitions, and information handouts, highlighted the environmental harm caused by using disposable plastic water bottles.Choosing tap water over bottled water helps reduce the 17 million barrels of oil and 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide needed to produce and deliver plastic water bottles for American consumption annually, according to Pacific Institute, a nonprofit research group devoted to creating a healthy, sustainable planet.The refill stations are intended to provide convenient locations for students, faculty, and staff to tap into San Francisco's municipal water, among the cleanest in the country, as USF's food vendor, Bon Appétit, and administrators work to reduce plastic water bottle sales for more eco-friendly refillable water containers over the coming months, said Holly Winslow, resident district manager for Bon Appétit.Bon Appétit, already a leader in the eco-friendly food service industry, dishes up its meals on reusable tableware, rather than disposable plates and plastic ware at USF's cafeterias, and has since 2005. Carryout cups, bowls, and utensils are made from renewable corn, sugarcane, and potato starch, all 100 percent compostable, Winslow said.In addition, Bon Appétit buys more than 85 percent of its meat, vegetables, and other products from farms within a 150-mile radius, in an effort to reduce the amount of energy required to create the approximately 5,000 weekday meals needed to feed students. Bon Appétit closes the circle by sending 10 tons of food waste each week to be composted and distributed to area farms.Beyond food services, the Green Team is working to increase the amount of recyclables captured in the university's general waste stream from 65 percent to 75 percent. Recent inspections have shown that almost 25 percent of the garbage found in USF's general waste could be recycled or composted, said Joe Murphy, environmental safety manager for USF and head of USF's recycling efforts.Other initiatives include an attempt to increase bicycle commuting to campus by raising awareness and installing additional racks for secure bicycle parking, a composting pilot program in residence halls, and the campus-wide installation of energy efficient light fixtures and light bulbs.While still on the horizon, USF's biggest commitment to creating a sustainable campus is a new $60 million Center for Science and Innovation that will be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. Anticipated to break ground in the next few years, the four-story science facility, at the south end of Harney Science Center, is being designed to house labs and classrooms for all the sciences, including biology, physics, and chemistry. The state-of-the-art facility will incorporate the most efficient water and energy technologies, along with recycled construction materials.

NORTH AUGUSTA — After five pool games and the quarterfinal round of the EYBL Finals at the Nike Peach Jam at Riverview Park Activities Center, one undefeated team remains.
The way E1T1 Elite's 17-and-under team is playing, it will be tough for anyone to deliver its first loss.
The team won its quarterfinal game over Meanstreets 76-52 and cruised at the end. Head coach Edward Francis' squad has won all six Peach Jam games by 10 points or more.
Francis, who has been coaching E1T1 for four years, reached into the auto world for the metaphor to help describe the talent on his roster, which has eight players being recruited by NCAA Division I programs. Two of them – Grayson Allen (Duke) and Joel Berry (North Carolina) – have already committed to top-level D-I schools.
"This is probably the best team we've had, but we've always had D-I talent," Francis said of his team. "I tell my kids, 'There's a difference in riding in a Corvette and riding in a Bugatti.' Right now, we're in a Bugatti."
Berry led the team with eight assists and added 10 points and two rebounds, and Allen scored nine points. E1T1's roster is so deep that Allen, who joined the team in May, comes off the bench despite his status as a four-star recruit out of Jacksonville, Fla.
"First coming to this team, I came to the team late so I kind of expected to come off the bench," Allen said, noting an "adjustment period" to being outside the starting lineup. "It's so much talent out here, you've just got to adjust. You can't be looking for yourself all the time because everyone around you can play."
E1T1's success isn't all about pedigree, though. The team showed the kind of balance against Meanstreets that coaches are always looking for.
Inside, Francis' squad won the rebounding battle 38-33 and blocked six shots. Two of those blocks belonged to 7-foot-1 rising senior Trayvon Reed out of Georgia, who has offers on the table from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Miami, among others.
Reed also scored four points and grabbed rebounds, but Francis said the big man's contributions aren't limited to the stat sheet.
"It's a big difference. I've been playing all this time and never had a 7-footer," Francis said. "Now he just solidifies the paint ... Even though he might not be blocking shots, he makes everybody re-direct their shot."
Reed wasn't the only presence in the paint Saturday night. Alex Owens, who stands at 6-foot-9 and 250 pounds, is the only rising junior on the roster, but he came off the bench to lead the team with nine rebounds and four blocks to go with seven points.
"He's a special kid," Francis said of his sizable junior.
The team also had plenty of players contributing from the wings. Boubacar Moungoro, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Mali, is being recruited by South Carolina, Auburn, Miami, South Florida and UCF, and he led the team with 13 points and three 3-pointers.
Francis also got 11 points, five rebounds, a pair of assists and a deep ball from Michael Gilmore. The 6-foot-9 forward is being recruited by Clemson, FIU, Kansas State, Providence, South Florida and Southern Cal, and he showed the ability to shoot from outside, drive to the basket and play physically in the post.
"Well, he helps out a lot because he can stretch the court and do multiple things, and he's active," Francis said of Gilmore. "He's always hustling, and he's active."
E1T1 entered the game among the tournament leaders in many team categories, including a Peach Jam-best 52 percent effort from the field led by Owens at better than 80 percent.
One area they hadn't been stellar in was 3-point shooting, having been limited to a 30 percent effort or worse in each pool-play game. That changed in the quarterfinals, as the team shot 42.9 percent (9-of-21) from beyond the arc on Saturday, including a 5-for-8 performance from deep in the second half.
Allen had a role in that with a 2-for-5 night from beyond the 3-point line, but that wasn't his most memorable contribution. After doing most of his work from outside and as a facilitator, Allen moved toward the basket late in the gamewithout the ball and received a pass before delivering a violent dunk that electrified the fans.
"I don't think a lot of people expect it, just looking at me," the 6-foot-4, 195-pound guard said with a smile. "It kind of gets the crowd on their feet because they don't expect it out of a white boy."
What Francis and the E1T1 coaches do expect is continued focus in today's 10:30 a.m. semifinal against Team Penny, which beat Team Scan 67-66 on Saturday. The other semifinal between Team Final — 69-63 winners over Houston Hoops on Saturday — and the CP3 All-Stars — winners over Cal Supreme 84-76 — will take place at 9 a.m., with the two winner facing off in a 3 p.m. championship game.
"We won't stop until we're holding that trophy," Francis said.
Coach sightings
As usual, the top coaches in college basketball were in attendance Saturday night.
Clemson's Brad Brownell, Roy Williams of North Carolina, Tom Izzo of Michigan State and John Calipari of Kentucky were all seen in an around Riverview's four gymnasiums, taking in the top prep-level basketball talent in the country.
While they got plenty of space to watch the action, outside they gyms was a different matter. Williams paused on several occasions on his way out of the facility to take photos with excited fans.
Local star sightings
The area's high schools were also represented in the crowd.
Strom Thurmond quarterback Jauveer Hammond was seen catching some action from the track above the courts, as was Midland Valley basketball and football player Kameron Brown.
Fox Creek basketball coach Andre Baskett and son Deondre Baskett, the Predators' quarterback for the coming season and guard on the basketball team, also stopped by for the event. Former Midland Valley head girls' basketball coach and Aiken High grad Audrey Timmerman, who also served as an assistant for the USC Aiken women's team, was in the crowd for E1T1's convincing win.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.

Perfect comfort food. All you need to do is boil it, strain it, then stir in some butter and serve it with salt. It's my favorite quick dinner. September 17, 2013
Best available in US I love spaezle and this is the best I have been able to find in America. I buy two boxes each month. It is so good and goes with many, many meals I prepare. I always get compliments on it! October 17, 2012

Recent political events are disturbing and understandably result in highly emotional posts and threads. Over the last several days, I've seen personal attacks and comments like we would not have suffered had it not been for the recent slaughter of children and the predictable response from liberals supporting expanded gun control.
It's going to stop now. I don't care how long anyone has been a Forum Member, or how many posts they have to their credit. Gun owners are in for the biggest fight we've ever had and personal attacks and radical comments not only violate our rules, they aid those who are calling for additional gun control measures. This warning is also for those who clearly want to bait someone into making such comments; that won't be tolerated either.

Cortech DX2 Womens Glovesby Colleen - verified purchaser
These gloves fit great by the size chart and are comfortable overall. My only issue is that the stitching is inside the gloves and on the fingertips, my nails and the stitching feel uncomfortable together. So these will work if you keep your nails very short and even for me as of now but I'm already looking for a nicer pair.

WILLISTON — Former Williston-Elko High School running back Kendric Salley has been on the University of South Carolina football team for a year. He's hoping to get something this coming season that wasn't possible last year – a chance to play.
A knee injury during his senior year for the Blue Devils limited his production and led to surgery after the 2011 season. Still recovering, Salley was redshirted by the Gamecocks last season. Now healthy and further removed from surgery, Salley's eager to get back to work.
"I'm looking forward to fall camp in about four or five weeks, you know, to get on the proving ground and actually prove what I can do and actually earn some more playing time," he said.
Salley had no shortage of carries in Williston. In spite of injuries, sharing the load with stars like Dexter Staley and Jarius Jenkins and often sitting out the second half of blowout victories; Salley rewarded the Blue Devils for calling his number.
He ranks third all-time in the South Carolina High School League record book with 96 career touchdowns. He only trails a pair of former Gamecock running backs – Demetris Summers (127) and Marcus Lattimore (104). Salley's junior campaign in 2010 – when the Blue Devils played in the Class A, Division II state championship game – marked the fourth-highest touchdown total for a season in state history with 40.
Now, Salley sits third on the depth chart at tailback for the Gamecocks, behind sophomore Mike Davis and redshirt sophomore Brandon Wilds. The former All-Aiken Standard selection said not being a starter provides fuel for his efforts.
"That's just motivation," he said. "I've been dealing with adversity since I've been a little kid, so adversity that actually gives you confidence, puts a chip on your shoulder, actually makes you work harder to do things you want to do."
Davis had 52 carries for USC last year for 275 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Wilds took his redshirt year in 2012 after racking up 486 yards and three touchdowns on 107 carries in 2011.
The Gamecocks, despite losing Lattimore and other major contributors like safety D.J. Swearinger to the NFL Draft, have high expectations after a second consecutive 11-win season. Even if his team has work to do to get back to that level, Salley said he and his teammates are ready.
"We're looking forward to having a season like last year, if not better," he said. "We're willing to do what it takes, to put in the extra work to get better as a team and as a unit, we can do it."
From an individual perspective, Salley's ready to do his part to contribute to the greater good.
"I just want to get on the field. I feel like the time given, something will happen," he said.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.

COLUMBIA — Civil liberties groups said federal voter protections are still needed in South Carolina.
Lonnie Randolph is president of the South Carolina branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He said at a State Gouse news conference Tuesday that keeping Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in place is crucial to ensuring equal access to voting.
Randolph spoke the day before the U.S. Supreme Court considers an Alabama case that could end the requirement that South Carolina and other states with histories of discriminatory voting practices get federal approval for any new voting laws.
South Carolina won a lawsuit against the federal government last year after the U.S. Justice Department rejected the state's voter identification law, saying it violated Section 5.

For a kid who is terrified of spiders, an awful lot of effort went in to making this drawing of the Legend that is Spiderman.
But what can you find inside the mind of a 5 year old artist?
I was getting a little worried that he ought to be writing more, better.
Until I watched him drawing this masterpiece. His careful, tiny pencil strokes showed great motor-skill development, and the conscious planning that went in to every detail was breathtaking. OK, so it's still basically about death and mutilation (one step at a time, eh?) but what thought and meticulousness lies behind the carnage!
I may not have found Da Vinci, but I did find reassurance inside the mind of my 5 year old artist.
Do you ever just sit and actually watch your children whilst they are creating something?

Sasha here, and I was loving EVERY MINUTE of the Grammys this last weekend. I was so happy to see Adele take home the win on Best Pop Solo Performance! To think…she started out her music dreams wanting to be a TALENT SCOUT, looking for the next great singer instead of being one! Her star started rising when a friend of hers posted a video of her singing on MySpace. It just goes to show, true talent will always find a way to shine!
It was also so cool to see Kimbra win more than once for her duet with Gotye. "Somebody That I Used to Know" is definitely one of my fave songs. I found out Kimbra had been writing songs since age 10! Did you know she and Gotye recorded that winning hit in her bedroom with almost no equipment? How amazing is that? I record the songs I write in my bedroom at home, too…maybe someday it'll be me with the hit song!

High-Scoring Mounties Out Last Hawks
McFarland hits for 25

Cresson, PA – In order to beat Mount Aloysius College men's basketball team on their home court, the visiting team must be able to defend the three-point line. Hilbert College found that out on January 15th in their 95-85 loss to the Mounties. The Hawks finished the game with better shooting percentages from the floor and foul line, and out-rebounded MAC (38-33). But, Mount Aloysius outscored the blue and white by twenty-seven points from behind the three-point line to earn their first AMCC victory (1-7, 3-10 overall). Hilbert went to the locker room down 52-38 after MAC rode a 10 for19 shooting spree from long range in the first half. The Hawks fought back the next twenty minutes closing the gap as close as seven points on several occasions, but Mount Aloysius finished the game hitting three-pointers or foul shots to seal the win.
Mount Aloysius' Joey Stephenson had game high honors with 26 points (8-14 behind the arc).
Leading five Hawks in double-digit scoring was Dan McFarland (Lancaster, NY/St. Mary's) with 25 points. Chris Parrot (Warsaw, NY/Warsaw) shot fifty-percent from the floor scoring 14 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and had 6 assists while CJ Hodge (Rochester, NY/Gates Chili), Keon Rembert (11 rebounds) Bennetsville, SC/Archbishop Walsh) and Barry Mason (Sinclairville, NY/Cassadaga Valley) each chipped in 10 points apiece.
Hilbert (3-5, 6-9) returns home Monday, January 17th to host Pitt-Bradford in a 8pm tip to complete the first-time-through-the-cycle against all AMCC teams.

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden says he will deliver recommendations to President Barack Obama on steps to curb violence by Tuesday.
Biden says a consensus is emerging over proposals such as tightening background checks and banning high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Biden told a group of sportsmen and wildlife interest groups that he has "never quite heard so much talk about high-capacity magazines" as he has since last month's horrific mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Biden was meeting with the groups Thursday as the White House. He was set to meet later with the National Rifle Association, the powerful pro-gun organization.

I thoroughly enjoy themeparks. But they have to be *well made* themeparks that show ambition, scope, and a flash or two of innovation. I am not alone here and I do not recieve any 'hate' for my tastes. I also enjoy sandbox elements, for the record.. the camps are not as polarised as some here make out as they search for reasons to look down on others. Plenty of us cross over into both styles (most games are actually a hybrid of the two anyhow to some degree or other, as any clear thinker here will tell you).
I also do not use the lazy cliche of 'haters', because I realise that being justifiably critical of something is not just 'hate', and I realise that you can be critical of something you actually in the main really like.
In general, I find not making huge statements about entire communities usually to be a good thing.

They hate the game before it is even released because it isn't a sandbox. When you go from game to game griping about features that were clearly stated AREN'T going to be in such games then yes, you are a HATER. The shoe fits.
I enjoy sandbox elemants as well. I also enjoy themeparks. If the game is bad I say so and move on. I don't stick around and actively cheer for the game to fail and laugh because the game doesn't have millions of subscribers. That's what haters do. I guarentee you that after this game releases and doesn't end up being the WOW killer(as if their beloved sandboxes were WOW killers) the same posters will be here calling it a failure.
Sorry bud, but this site is well known across the internet as being a haters haven. It isn't just my opinion.

What do you dont seem to understand that, some of us, who "hates" on this game is not only because it is not a sandbox type but rather because Skyrim is an open world sandbox type RPG where as ESO is a linear, hardcoded faction, themepark MMORPG.
So just like Warhammer fans hated WAR for being more like WoW than WAR (and even not DAoC), it is natural that Elder Scrolls fans who like the open world type of RPGs which Elders Scrolls are like, would not like the fact that ESO wont be.
As for haters heaven, this is not a nonsensical therm that some individuals on this site uses to label everyone who voices any kind of criticism. What I am wondering if, this site is as horrible as they say, why do they keep coming back? They clearly dont like it so is there some underlying agenda they have to come here and defend games from "haters"?

Well ktanner3, I think you're a little biased since you were crusading in defense of SWTOR for a good while. I suppose you labeled the people who said it would go f2p in under a year "haters," but they were just being honest. Anyway if mmorpg.com is such a sandbox haven then why did Darkfall and Mortal Online get ripped to utter shreds on this site too? Actually those games endured more scrutiny than any themepark that's come out since then.
I like that TESO is staying low key on this website, maybe it will actually surprise people when it's ready to release. But if a GW2-esque hype train gets built up too big before release you're going to get an equal and opposite reaction to try to bring it down more toward reality.

I'm a hater myself
I hate swtor
I hate wow (although the dungeons are fun)
I hate Aoc
I mostly hate rift (although I admire the devs commitment to the game)
The difference between me and these TESO haters though, I've actually played these games

Sounds familiar. Definitely wait until they release more of the information about the game to see for yourself. It's weird that people jump to conclusions and dance around the evidence.
People on these forums I agree Aerwyn are typically jumpers who try to make issues where none exist without evidence to back their claims up. Experienced it the entire time I've been coming to these forums.
The only time this happened to me was with GW2 and it's still up in the air so I'm waiting to see what they do in the next three months of patches. Their game was awesome the first month for players like me players they claimed they understood and wanted but then decided to completely go against their original design in Nov 15th and make the game an actual WoW clone. (grinding dungeons over and over again, for a completely fail RNG system that even WoW left behind years ago is not open world meta events and gearing without a grind, and no gear treadmill which they've begun to add with ascended)

Hater heaven is not a non-sensical term, for this site, because this site is known as exactly that. People do come here to read all the hate that is spewed at every game that is not what the forum users call a 'SANDBOX GAME'. It is sad and funny that people throw so much good talent and prose on hating games.

Anyone would think daoc was a bunch of linear zones with a tiered raiding end game and instanced to hell and back, reading some of these threads.
In effect it only just falls in the themepark camp, its the least themeparky themepark there is, even less so than even eq1. It has more in common with hybrids like ac, swg and indeed skyrim than it does uber themeparks like swtor, wow and tsw.

I think with forums like these that have been around a long time, people have seen so many MMOs they hoped would finally break the grip the generic themepark template has held on the genre and finally give us something we havent done a 100 thousand times before in a 100 MMOGs this last 10--15 years. it's tough for people who come here and get excited for the newest thing coming, when to me, I have seen it all before. Jaded? yes, but i'm still looking for a good MMO to get my hands on and have some fun. it's my hobby I take it serious. it's how I unwind.
ESO/TESO whatever way you like to say it, needs some more love. I must admit i'm holding out hope for the 3 faction thing to get corrected if ever. But thats about it. we know very little and we have to assume it's NOT going to deviate that much from all the others themies we have played.
So it's natural that i'm going to hold the company to a higher standards simply because of elder scrolls. I want to steal your furniture/backpack in your house, that alone I would give them my money. but we all know it will follow the pattern unless they suprise us with something way awesome, which I hope they do. And whenever a developer tells you "we will work on it after release" that the oldest scam in the book. Walk away if they ever say "after release we are adding this" odds are it's never getting added to the game.
But it can still be a game people love, some of us like to wait and see.

Like I say, I don't feel the hate towards my taste 90% of the time, and if I ever do I am not personally offended by it because I get different people like different things.
I do loathe the lazy overuse of the word 'hater' though. It's simplistic and antagonistic and dismisses some valid views straight out of hand. It's just bad debate tbh.
This is also an extremely negative thread that can only bring, in truth, more negativity. A lot of which has come from you as you attack and entire website because they don't think like you want them to. Ask yourself... are you the solution of the problem? What are you actually doing here to change the culture for the better?

I can't speak for the other so-called "haters", but I will tell you why I actually make the comments that I make about this game: It's because I actually care. If I didn't care, I would remain silent and not even bother to pay attention to its development.

Skyrim is a themepark because....?
It is not a quest hub based game, it is a free form exploration game where you can ignore the story line and go do whatever you want, that is not how ThemeParks are designed.
It is not level or class based. It is hybrid skill based with focus on skill exp and no classes, another hallmark of sandbox games. There are no hardcoded factions but rather you are free to join the one's you want.
The only thing common it has with ThemePark games is that it has a story line to follow but that is not the focus of the game and not what makes it great. Skyrim is a sandbox style RPG, period.
Regarding you fanbous continual accusation of haters this and haters that. This site even has a moderation rule, which has been used alot, where you are warned/banned for "excessive negative posts". So this site is not haters heaven as you fanboys claim.
It is more that you are like sensitive flowers who cannot, for some reason, read other peoples post about not liking the game you like where as I personally dont give a crap if you like this game or not. It is you who have the problem with other people not liking it.

"Hater" is one of those words like "racist" and "date-rape"--words bandied about so much for the minorest of infractions that the words have lost all power. It's more like a personal prayer--it makes the guy saying it feel good, but it doesn't (or at least shouldn't if your head is screwed on right) phase the people it's lobbed at.
Now we're calling prostitutes "sex workers". What's next? Calling hit men "end-of-life technicians"?

Jerry McMahon lives in North Zulch and his Texas roots go all the way back to the 1800's.
He works at the Alamo at least once a month as a living historian, answering questions and teaching visitors the history of Texas. But this weekend will be extra special.
McMahon and Bryan Resident Rudy Cortez will serve on the honor guard as the Alamo welcomes back a letter tied to its incredible history.
"The famous letter, the victory or death letter, that William Barret Travis wrote at the beginning of the siege to try to stir the patriotism of the rest of the Texans and to bring in reinforcements," said McMahon.
What's truly incredible is this letter hasn't been back to the Alamo since the night it rode off with a courier on horseback to Washington-on-the-Brazos.
"The Travis letter has not been back to the Alamo in 177 years," said McMahon.
Under tight security the letter will return and be displayed in a custom made $20,000 case for safe keeping.
There it will sit for 13 days, the length of the siege on the Alamo, for visitors to get a first hand look at a piece of Texas history.
"It's a once in a lifetime situation. I don't believe this is going to be put out very much because it is deteriorating and it's very important to all Texans and to the rest of the world," said McMahon.
The William B. Travis letter will be delivered to the Alamo on Friday and News 3's Shane McAuliffe will be there to show us the special delivery Friday at 6 on News 3.
If you'd like to see the letter yourself, it will be on display starting on Saturday through March 7.

E-Cigarette Policy
An electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars or pipes. It is a battery powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine or other chemicals by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation. Essentially, an e-cigarette is a delivery system for nicotine, lobelia or other chemicals.
E-cigarettes do not meet the definition of a cigarette set forth in the Minnesota Statutes, section 297F.01, subdivision 3, but they do meet the definition of a tobacco product set forth in Minnesota Statutes, section 297F.02, subdivision 19. They meet the statute definition of tobacco product because the vapor is derived from a tobacco product.
The Minnesota Legislature has made it illegal for minors to purchase, possess or attempt to purchase an e-cigarette (Minnesota Statute 609.6855). Additionally, the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, in Sottera v Food & Drug Administration , 627F.3d 891 (D.C. Cir 2010) held that e-cigarettes and other products made or derived from tobacco can be regulated as "tobacco products".
Therefore, because of the above definition and statutes, St. Cloud Youth Hockey will treat e-cigarettes just like a regular cigarette. They are therefore, banned from use at all youth hockey functions.

Too many holes to plug at this point.
Too many holes to plug at this point.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."
- Lawrence Taylor
What holes to plug? LB really is the only one. And they just brought in Connor, resigned Rivers, have been developing J Will and Paysinger.
JPP had a 6 sack year and Coughlin recently came out and said he was overweight and had conditioning issues last year.
Prince is still raw and Linval hasn't done much. Wasnt Linval the one who was a "starter" on our horrific DL last year? Im confused by this post
CWebb is proven, he just had an off year. Cullen is proven. Kiwi has been an average to above average player for years. Stevie Brown looked comfortable and poised last year. Had a great nack for the ball and is still young.
This D has the potential to be very bad, like it was through most of last year and the year before that...before playing well enough to win a SB. I'm very worried about this D as well and hope that they have a kick-a** draft.

Hi Ladies,
Really needing ya to walk me down from the ledge. With our daughter's birthday approaching and reliving all the lead up of bad events to her that day I know I'm on edge and clearly out of brain cells since I didn't even think to ask about this while right there at the doctor. Serious pregnant brain.
We're 34 weeks. At our 32 week u/s our AFI was 26, so in the poly range. At 33 it was 20, so I was super happy. Today, at 34 weeks it's 14.. which I know is still plenty of swimming pool... at the same time the progression as me a lil' concerned. I know a lot can change with positioning, who is measuring and just baby growing three weeks... so a drop each week could be explained by those factors alone right? My BP is definitely creeping cruising in the 140s/70s and even 80s (my baseline diastolic is in the 50s/low 60s) with spikes into the 150s. All labs good, last 24 hour holding steady at 460 and I'll start our next one tomorrow. My next NST/AFI measurement is Monday.
So, I can explain this all away just by all that normal afi is subjective based on a lot of different things right?

Now that is a good looking map of the earth!!!
Thx so much Lazy Bones Studio! Happy to hear that!
Absolutely beautiful map. Are the colors on this print the same as the one available at Urban Outfitters? The Urban Outfitters print appears to be slightly lighter in color.
Also, in terms of this particular print, it is very hard to tell which color frame would match best. Any recommendations?
Hi Meldamelda, glad you like this piece! Yes, Urban Outfitters has the exact same print file, no color variations. It may appear lighter due to the way they shot the print in their showroom. With this particular piece, any frame color goes! So it mainly depends on wall color and the rest of your place. For my living, I used a vintage wood frame that I painted white, and love how it looks! Hope that helps :)
Wow this is absolutely stunning work! I am new here. Could you please give me feed back if you have a minutes or two. It will really help me so much. :)
I really like your style
Would this fit an ASUS T100 Transformer book? I am in desperate need of a super neat skin because there is NOTHING out there and I adore your art, Biaca Green!
Thank you so much Bacht & Alessandro!
Megan, I just checked, your ASUS is about 10.1-inches, and the smallest laptop skin is 11' for the macbook air. The skins are super thin and you can easily cut out the size you need. The design should be placed with a proportion that would leave enough background space for you to do so. I hope this helps. Happy to hear you like my work, and I would be thrilled to know that you will be rocking this piece on your laptop :) If you have any further questions, contact me at email@example.com

Love hearing that, thank you very much amelia!
Hello! I absolutely love this design!! But was wondering if there's any way to get a white case instead of the blue
Hi Victoria, yes! Email me at email@example.com and let me know when you want to purchase it and I'll switch it for you. Glad you like this design, thank you! :)
I don't need it for another couple months! I will email you then :)
Beautiful and inspiring !
Ok, sounds good Victoria :)
Thank you so much Julien!
Thank you so much Julien!
So nice! :))
Thank you so much Lerson & Flight of Horace! :)
wow, I love the colours. Subtle, simple yet full of details. soft on the eye, but the more you look the more you love :)
Thank you so much sonigque, TMarchev and Light Wanderer!!
Bianca Green, is this the exact same one you distribute to Urban Outfitters or is it a little different? The colors on the one on their website look a little duller and the background looks more like ivory than white. I am super interested in buying this duvet cover so if you could please let me know that's be so awesome!!!
Hi Tgandaa, you saw it right! The Duvet cover on Urban Outfitters is quite different and produced by someone else. Yes, it is a beige / ivory background, the print is the same but the materials are different. This one here is on super light grey background. So pick what you think works best for your room or email me for a completely different background color, that's possible too. firstname.lastname@example.com Thx!
I have a question... I really want to buy this for my wall. is it a better idea to buy it like this ( a rag ) or a picture for brighter color? I just don't want to buy the material version and have the colors seem dull. Thanks.
I'm confused from the description whether this is paper or a rag...can you specify please

Interesting Things
- Be careful when extending classes from structs. Their superclasses are essentially anonymous classes, so reopening them can be difficult. If you attempt to reopen them by extending them from "the same" struct, it will actually be a different anonymous class.
Ever had an STI model but wanted the views and controllers to pretend like it all extended the base class? You can have rails change the params[] namespace that it uses like so:
form_for :user, @admin_user, :url => user_path(@admin_user)
Or you can be super-cool and use polymorphic routes:
form_for @admin_user.becomes(User)
becomes method is part of ActiveRecord, and it actually creates a 2nd copy of the object with the same attributes and a different class (shallow copy). Due to this implementation, it has limitations so use it carefully.
- Upgrading to rails 2.3.3 breaks HopToad. This is related to filter_parameter_logging, and it's technically rails' fault. It has been fixed in 2.3.3 stable (which I assume will be released as 2.3.4). You can also fix it yourself with a one-line-patch. Personally, I'd wait to upgrade till 2.3.4 comes out.

Apple paying less than 2% tax on overseas profits in the billions
Apple is paying less than 2% tax on its profits from overseas sales which are thought to be in the region of 37 billion dollars. The details were revealed in Apple's 10K filing which was presented to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The news comes for UK newspaper The Guardian
The iPhone and iPad maker paid $713m (£445m) in overseas corporation tax on foreign profits of $36.87bn (£23bn) in the year to the end of September. That translates as a tax rate of 1.9%, compared to a headline corporation tax rate of 35% in the US and 24% in the UK.
The details were revealed in Apple's 10K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Apple has not broken any laws by arranging its tax payments this way, but it is likely to reignite debate about the astonishingly small amount of tax US multinationals pay in the UK.
Google, Amazon and Starbucks have also been in the news lately for similar low tax payments in the UK and are set to appear before the Commons public accounts committee later today. They will be given an opportunity to explain why they don't pay the proper levels of tax. According to the report, Prime Minister David Cameron is not happy with the current situation which allows US companies to pay such low tax rates in the UK. Now that Apple is part of the same picture, we are sure that this is going to get a lot more coverage.

Apple paying less than 2% tax on overseas profits in the billions
Oh you are sure to be attacked mercilessly for that assumption. The Apple purists here will say how dare you! Apple is entitled to their money!
When Steve Jobs returned in 97 his 1st action was to immediately cease Apple's charitable activities. Tim Cook has started to reverse that policy. But they have much further to go. And let's not even begin the discussion on corporations avoiding tax through questionable means.
It's often quite amusing to see a company like Apple, that is very supportive of many liberal cause célèbre policies, be so greedy & secretive with their own profits. They aren't alone in that practice by the way. It's just an interesting observation that very rich liberal executives like Steve Jobs was don't practice what they preach.
wow Wal-Mart isn't any better but at least they put the savings on to you
I don't get why people are so upset about this. They are obviously operating within the law. So, the problem isn't Apple (or any corporation in a similar situation). You can dislike the tax laws. You can't be mad at a company following the law. They're job is to generate as much profit as possible while following the existing laws.
People are upset because it's no coincidence that the same folks that are benefiting from these "laws" are the same ones who write the laws. And they are loopholes in the way current law is written that allows them to pay lower rates. Why do you think these guys have lobbyists? And, I love it when these same guys complain about how corporate income taxes are too high in the States when clearly nobody pays those rates. It's my one trepidation about buying Apple products.
Making Profit IKEA-style!
Good for apple. Not giving more money for stupid government spending.
You know? It's ignorant comments like these that prove to me day in and day out that there are still a majority of ignorant voters who believe in things like this. Sure, there may have been some businesses over the years that have hidden profits and literally "dodged" or evaded tax laws, but the vast majority of businesses do follow the law, but believe me, as a business owner, I constantly look for loopholes and other ways I'd decreasing my tax burden. I'm sick of being double and triple taxed, and I'd love to be given tax incentives like the big businesses get. Look, cities and states, and even the federal government, gives big businesses tax incentives. It will never stop. Why?? Because when you give businesses incentives to go to a certain place to do business, whether it's manufacturing or retail or whatever, they're going to employ people, sell products, manufacture goods, all of which are taxed. This in turn increases both the local and federal tax base, creating an increase in tax revenue. Is good for business, good for workers, and good for the government too. And sure, big businesses will always looks for ways of lessening their tax burden, because in order to stay in business, they need money and need to pay their employees, pay their bills, etc, and so they're most likely to go where ever taxes are the lowest.
I wander what the deficit would be like is Obama was not elected. Probably a lot lower the 16 trillion.
The deficit would be the same. The government would find more ways to spend the tax revenue instead of returning unused portions back to taxpayers or even reducing the tax rate. Don't fool yourself with thoughts of gumballs and fairy dust when you talk about our US government.
Better thee than me? All the fine altruists here pay there fair share and don't take any deductions I'm sure since that would make them no better than Apple. Too bad they would have to pay tax on that money if they brought it back to the US. Because of that, the money will stay overseas instead of being invested here.
This is a good explanation on how corporations "dodge" tax.
Everything is legal though. Morally, that's another story and it's for you to decide.
How the hell is it not moral. What's not moral is Obama raising taxes on the middle class.
From a philosophical point of view it should be pointed out that corporations do not pay taxes. It's their customers that pay taxes. So whatever your view on tax law, the sentiment that Apple should pay more really translates into "I think I and other Apple customers should pay more". Any taxes are going to be passed on to the corporation's customers.

Alfresco Day - Amsterdam
Where? Planetarium Amsterdam
We've all struggled with version control nightmares, lost attachments and out-of-date files on the server for years... but now, things are even more complex.
Mobile devices, new apps, consumer cloud services and the need for more external collaboration is making it even harder for business leaders and IT departments to keep control of valuable corporate content assets and enable employees to get work done. Content is out of sync. Devices are out of sync. People are out of sync. Entire organizations are out of sync. Until now.
Alfresco helps end the content chaos and keep everyone (and everything) in sync.
John Powell, Founder of Alfresco will share his vision of the Enterprise Content Management future.
Don't miss out on this great opportunity to speak to Alfresco's founder and partner network.
