By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2003 U.S. and Republic of Korea officials have agreed to a plan to realign American forces stationed in "The Land of the Morning Calm."
In June 4-5 meetings held in the South Korean capital city of Seoul, according to a joint U.S.-South Korean statement, it was decided the operation would consist of two phases:
U.S. and Korean officials agreed to continue rotational U.S. military training north of the Han even after Phase 2 is completed, according to the statement.
The realignment operation would take several years to complete, according to the joint statement.
Realignment of American troops in South Korea is part of an ongoing U.S. force assessment involving overseas and stateside troops. About 37,000 U.S. troops are currently serving in South Korea.
U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz noted at a June 2 press conference in Seoul that "a substantial amount of money" would be invested - about $11 billion, according to U.S. defense officials -- over the next four years "in some 150 programs to enhance U.S. capabilities here on the (Korean) Peninsula."
The U.S.-ROK statement noted that the realignment would also involve moving U.S. forces out of Yongsan garrison in Seoul.
Wolfowitz returned June 3 from a trip to Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo to discuss mutual security matters with East Asian leaders.
The deputy defense secretary observed in Seoul "that any basic changes we make to our ground forces here will affect the 2nd Infantry Division." However, U.S. "commitment to the defense of (South) Korea remains firm," the deputy defense secretary asserted at the Seoul press conference.
The purpose of realigning U.S. forces in South Korea, Wolfowitz pointed out, "is to enhance deterrence, not to weaken it."
More U.S.-ROK meetings on the subject of U.S. forces' realignment in South Korea are slated in the future, according to the statement.

Heavy-metal isn't often thought of as being associated with orchestras or string arrangements. But more often than not, a cello or a horn will find its way into a symphony of destruction. Metallica famously performed with the San Francisco Symphony on their 1999 live album, S&M. Three years before that, Finnish chamber quartet Apocalyptica released their own album of classical Metallica covers. And that's even before we get into the dramatic subgenre of "symphonic metal."
Still, as far as we can tell, Oakland trio Judgement Day is the first band to lay claim to the title of "string metal."
Playing intense, technical, instrumental heavy metal without the help of a single guitar, Judgement Day's Anton Patzner (violin), Lewis Patzner (cello) and Jon Bush (drums) push the limits of what acoustic stringed instruments can do. They layer on the riffs like Megadeth's Marty Friedman does, but they also go full-throttle psychedelic, turning a chamber session into a heady raga. Whichever way they tweak their sound, they always shred.
Patzner explains that the sound grew out of some time spent busking with Lewis, his brother, in Berkeley.
"We started the band playing on the street," he recalls, speaking by phone from a tour rest stop. "It kind of evolved as a street-crowd-pleaser kind of thing. The louder we played and the more we jumped around, did kicks or rock 'n' roll moves, the more money we made."
Yet Patzner is quick to clarify that, in spite of the genre name, the group's biggest influences are predominantly in hardcore punk. ("String hardcore" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.)
"I used to go to hardcore shows in Santa Cruz," Patzner says. "It's a really cool scene. I'd go to house shows, or there was this classroom where I'd go see hardcore bands like Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower and Akimbo. It was my favorite thing to do. And I really wanted to be in a band like that… but I play violin.
"Really, our influences are more hardcore than metal," he adds. "We just call it metal."
The band's new album, Polar Shift, is a significant departure from the trio's methods on previous albums. On 2010's Peacocks / Pink Monsters, the Patzner brothers fed their instruments through effects pedals, distorting and tweaking their sounds into unrecognizable noises and textures. By comparison, Polar Shift finds them emphasizing the natural sounds of their instruments.
For an album that strips away the most metal elements of the band's sound, however, Polar Shift still shreds pretty hard. Songs like "Ghost Hunt" and "Common Denominator" are built on intricate harmonies and aggressive rhythms, and the intensity rarely lets up. Patzner says they challenged themselves to stay fierce without falling back on effects.
"Every record is an experiment to see how cool of a record we can make with just violin, cello and drums," he says. "We wanted to try just actual violin, cello tones, and make it as live as possible. ... On our other records, you can't really tell we're playing violin and cello. They sound like guitars or—you can't really tell what they are."
The Patzners grew up in a musical household. Their parents are both classical musicians and music teachers, and younger brother Graham is the songwriter and frontman of Bay Area folk-rock outfit Whiskerman. In 2007, Lewis earned his degree in cello performance from the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore.
Despite the talented bloodline and level of musical accomplishment in the band, Judgement Day rarely rehearse. They take a loose approach to developing songs, which mostly grow out of a road-testing phase.
"We don't really need to practice unless we're working on material," Patzner says. "I'm a big proponent of going on the road and beta-testing the material. The songs all evolve on the road. They're not really that complicated."
The atypical nature of Judgement Day's music has found them playing to a wide variety of audiences, opening for the warm-and-fuzzy indie-pop duo Mates of State, but also the modern progressive rockers Dredg. Some people don't know quite what to expect when watching the band for the first time, but Patzner says they're up won over by the end of the set.
"A bunch of people will come up to us and say, 'I've never seen anything like that' or, 'I dunno man, I thought that was gonna be lame, but it was awesome,'" he says. "Some people don't want to like us, but then they do."
As Judgement Day tackle new musical challenges, their status as a string-metal band—solidified by their web address, stringmetal.com—becomes less of a wholly encompassing part of their identity. But they're not likely to mellow out anytime soon.
The term "was appropriate at first, because our first album was a lot more metal," Patzner says. "I wouldn't say we make metal anymore, though.
"We should probably get a new URL."
Judgement Day play with Pinback at House of Blues on Friday, Feb. 1.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Has Phaedra Parks Had Her Baby Yet?
When we saw Phaedra Parks at the Season 5 Reunion of The Real Housewives of Atlanta a few weeks ago, she was pretty much ready to pop, and the reunion was filmed several weeks before it aired.
So, has Phae-Phae officially popped and welcomed her second son into the world? Not so fast!
Ayden's mama confirmed on Twitter on April 28 that she's still got a bun in the oven, but judging by a recent picture of her she could deliver her second prince any day now.
Phaedra came under fire during her first pregnancy for lying about her due date (she fibbed because she got knocked up before marrying Apollo) but there was no controversy this time around.
However, the Southern belle's pregnancy wasn't exactly a walk in the park either. Several months ago Phaedra revealed that she has placenta previa, a potentially serious condition that could be harmful to Phaedra and her baby if it's not treated properly. Luckily, Phaedra has been very careful throughout her pregnancy and she hasn't experienced any complications thus far.
Are you surprised that Phaedra is still pregnant? Vote below!

Joe McGee – Candidate President
My name is Joe McGee and I am running for SGA President. I have served two years previously on SGA and found a passion for being the voice for my constituents. Throughout my two years I was a big advocate for the Student Union and came up with the shirt design people are wearing around campus. This will be something I will continue to work on and make sure it is for the students. I believe in two basic principles that can strenghten this school. First, I believe that the SGA involvement at this school can always improve and with this improvement we can better this campus. For instance, I advocate for our representatives go to multiple student organization meetings a month. I want this to occur as I believe that if we go to the student organizations we can become more in touch with the students. When this occurs, we become less about student government and more about the students. This plays into my second belief that we can increase the amount of town-hall meetings. Simply put, we work for one thing: the student body. If elected, I will make sure that senators and e-board staff will always make a concerted effort to reach out to the student body, I want it to be known that the students can also contact us. This will also increase a sense of accountability to the SGA members as when this communication occurs transparency will be sure to increase. There are a few other concerns I would like to tackle that I think will make UIS a better campus for future students.

Power outages, no injuries reported during Thursday storm
Jun. 13, 2013 @ 09:10 PM
Emergency and law enforcement agencies responded to dozens of calls during Thursday's brief storm squall.
At least four homes and two vehicles were damaged by the storms, according to Lee County Emergency Services Director Shane Seagroves. As of 6:45 p.m., there were 27 emergency phone calls.
There were no reported injuries and 15,000 Lee County residents without power.
Latoya French, of Hillcrest Drive, was inside her home when she heard a tree snap and begin to splinter.
It fell on her Mercury Grand Marquis, totaling the car, she said. No one was injured, but she said she was disappointed by the vehicle damage.
"God will find a way," she said.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
It's pretty good, but it gets sketchy at times
By that I mean some scenes look great, and others look very poorly drawn. There is also an issue with depth. I assume you were experimenting, but some of the rotation effects, especially in the crates scene look very weird, like they are rotating further than the room is rotating. Even with all the special effects going on, it wasn't really well directed and the fight is only against a small number of guys. Overall it just didn't feel that interesting and the quality fluctuates so frequently throughout the whole movie.

Competing in the John Beargrease sled dog race is a goal for some. But for Billy Koecher, it's a lifelong dream.
"To be a part of it, I love that so much," Billy said. "It's a good race to be a part of."
Billy has cerebal palsy, and has faced many challenges in his life without so much as a complaint. He's always loved sled dog racing, and recently, he decided to take it a step further.
"We started checking into it, started running the dogs and it became a love for our whole family," said Adam Koecher, Billy's dad.
Billy and Adam began training together, and asked Beargrease officials to allow Billy to ride along for the first part of the race.
"They had a unanimous decision to let us run together, which, as far as we know, nobody has ever done as a team in the Beargrease," Adam said.
Adam mans the sled, but make no mistake about it, this is Billy's team.
"The dogs respond to him like none of us. He can get them to do whatever they need to do," Adam said. "One word from him out there and they know. They straighten right up. It's actually really fun and inspiring to watch."
"They're a very good team. I couldn't ask for a better team to work with than this one," Billy said.
Billy is excited to experience his favorite sled dog race with his dad behind him.
"I couldn't ask him for anything more," Billy said. "He's helped me a lot and I'd just like to thank him for letting me use his legs. My legs aren't so strong. I'd just like to thank him for that."
The feeling is mutual.
"To get to do something with your son that you know he's wanted to do for so long, and to be part of it, it's the best feeling I could have," Adam said.
Billy's mom, Jenny, says many people deserve credit for making this happen for her son.
"I want to thank the Beargrease, they've been so wonderful and we appreciate every one of them," Jenny said. "I also want to thank Dr. David Gordon and Bill and Rita from Stony Creek Kennels. "We're really blessed to be part of the mushing community."
But Billy's gratitude is especially reserved for those he loves most.
"They've always been supportive of me," Billy said. "I have a good family and they help me accomplish my dreams that I've wanted for a long time."

Which parameter affects the vapor pressure of a liquid?
(A) volume of the liquid
(B) surface area of the liquid
(C) volume of space above the liquid
(D) temperature of the liquid
1 Answer | Add Yours
The vapour pressure of a liquid depends upon:
1. Nature of the liquid:
Nature of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of the liquid dictates the extent to which they will be released as vapour. Weaker the forces, greater is the vapour pressure. Diethyl ether has higher vapour pressure than ethyl alcohol.
2. Temperature of the liquid:
As temperature increases, kinetic energy of liquid molecules increases and more molecules leave the liquid phase to become vapours. As a result, the vapour pressure increases.
Therefore, correct option is D).

Im a 25 year old female who has been trying to loose weight for the past 4 years but the weight just keep creeping up instead of going down. Ive been following a program in my city called Weight Watchers, so far WW has been helping me but im looking for something to add to my motivation and I hope by joining this site I will have the motivation to stay focus on my goals to loose weight.
I'm 20 years old, a student at San Diego State University. I'm tall ( 5'9), and recently went on tour with a band (as their manager). I gained a lot of weight eating junk food on the road, and it's hard to kick the habit since I've been home. I also have a desk job, so I'm not getting much exercise.

Exploration not exploitation-Do you hear that static because we don't.The noise. It ties others down, but have freed ourselves from it. We will shed it like a cocoon, because it is the only way we can grow. The noise in order to pursue our own paths. To learn how to live our lives, not those that others want for us. We will go on this road trip to explore the possibilities of our future, not to be exploited by society.To learn from others about paths we should take.To have some guidance in li

The wild ride
Ok so deffinetely the inteview was the most favorite part of it all. It literally was the first time I actually got to interview someone formally. From the beggining I never saw the end, I thought I was never going to get to where we got today. The procces helped me realize that no matter what my dream is I can work up to it and get something done. The interview was one thing that scared me the most but it was also the one that made me excited the most. I can say that Nick Anderson is a very good human being just because not only he cares about his family and friends but he is passionate about what he does. I got a lot out of the interview, he says that we control where we want to go and we do what we want to do in life and no one can stop us from doing that. The noise is out there to get you, we have to persevere and not listen to that noise that could potentially hurt us. The Road Trip experience has thought me that I am alone in this world, ultimately I am the one making the descicions for my life and no one will control who I am even if they think that what they think is best for me, when most of the time it is no the case.

A variety of field trips followed. One week we went to the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian to meet with mathematics curator Peggy Kidwell. This trip was especially exciting as the museum was closed to the public for renovation, and so we had to get special permission to enter and walk by the spookily dark exhibits on our way to her office. Ms. Kidwell showed us artifacts related to mathematics that were made or used during the era we were researching, and talked to us about the importance of family businesses in the manufacture of scientific instruments during that time. We also talked to her about eighteenth-century women's access to education, both in Europe and America, and she was able to tell us a little about the books they would have used. She also helped us expand the boundaries of our research by looking at mathematics that was written for women, and not just by women, during Euler's time.
At the NMAH: Peggy Kidwell is third from left
Ronald Calinger from Catholic University was just completing a Dibner Fellowship at the Smithsonian that summer, working on his own book about Euler, and one week we visited him at the Cullman Library of the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. He gave a nice talk about Euler, and we talked to him about women who may have been influenced by him. He also arranged for us to see some beautiful and rare old mathematics books from the library's collection. We returned later to get a second look at a special edition of Euler's Letters to a German Princess.
At the Cullman Library: Ron Calinger is fourth from left
But the trip we took most often was to the Library of Congress; we traveled and worked there virtually every week. We all got researcher's cards and took the regular tour of the Library. We attended research orientation sessions both in the Humanities and Social Sciences Division and in the Science, Technology, and Business Division. We spent some time in the Rare Books Room, looking at first editions of Maria Agnesi's and Emilie du Châtelet's work. Everyone we met was phenomenally helpful and nice; in fact they were thrilled to be helping us and excited that there were students doing research. They helped us find print and online resources; they called other libraries and offices for information. The Head Librarian of the Science Library, Constance Carter, was especially accommodating. She and her staff set us up in a conference room and brought us books and helped us locate resources.
At the Science Library: Constance Carter is in the middle
Thursdays: Math in the original
On Thursdays one of the faculty members on the team would present something a little more challenging and lead a discussion on it. We looked at some of Euler's papers and books and worked through the mathematics. We also used this day to read other primary sources, such as Maria Agnesi's Analytical Institutions, and compared her presentation of calculus to that of Euler. One week we all spent this time translating Euler from the Latin (or trying to)!

A state government official in Keran sector recieved a "personal message" from his brother in PoK asking him to join him for a cup of tea.
"Aap idhar aa rahe ho ya mein udhar aa jaun, chai ke liye, Baijaan (Are you coming this side (PoK) or should I cross over to your side for a cup of tea, brother)," read the message.
Keeping these incidents in view "I have requested the Prime Minister to take up the issue of Srinagar-Muzzafarabad bus service with Pakistan at the earliest", Sayeed said and asked "why should we snatch happiness from the faces of so many people".
The people on both sides are tired of sleeping in bunkers and far off camps because of shelling, the Chief Minister, who requested the Prime Minister to take up continuation of ceasefire with Pakistan during his visit for the SAARC summit in January.
"It should be our endeavour to keep the momentum of happiness going," he said.

May 2003

A recent decision of a Florida appeals court expands the application
of the Florida Business Corporation Act (FBCA) to foreign corporations that
are qualified to do business in Florida. In Esperanza de Saad v. Banco
Industrial de Venezuela, C.A., Miami Agency (Saad v. BIV), the
3rd District Court of Appeals held that a foreign corporation is subject
to mandatory indemnification obligations contained in the FBCA if the foreign
corporation is qualified to do business in Florida.
Under Section 607.0850(3) of the FBCA, if directors, officers, employees
or agents of a Florida corporation are sued in their corporate capacities,
the corporation must indemnify them against their defense costs if they
are successful on the merits or otherwise. In Saad v. BIV, a former
employee of the Venezuelan bank sought to recover the expenses of her allegedly
successful defense against money laundering and conspiracy charges. Although
BIV is a Venezuelan corporation, the plaintiff asserted that Section 607.1505(2)
of the FBCA made the mandatory indemnification provisions of the FBCA applicable
to her. Section 607.1505(2) states that a foreign corporation operating
in Florida under a valid certificate of authority is subject to the same
duties, restrictions, penalties and liabilities as a Florida corporation.
Although the trial court rejected this claim, the appeals court reversed,
holding that mandatory indemnification under 607.0850 is a liability imposed
on Florida corporations and thus applies to qualified foreign corporations
by virtue of Section 607.1505(2) as the plaintiff argued. In reaching its
holding, the court relied upon its 1990 decision, under a prior version
of Florida corporate law, that the a Georgia corporation qualified or
which should have been qualified to do business in Florida1
and its officers are subject to Florida's laws regarding liability for denying
access to corporate books and records.
These cases, while believed by many practitioners to be wrongly decided2,
point out that foreign corporations should consider taking steps to reduce
their exposure to the FBCA such as seeking waivers from employees of rights
arising under 607.0850 or shareholder waivers of inspection rights potentially
through charter amendments.3
Given the broadly applicable reasoning of the court's opinion, however,
other obligations imposed by the FBCA could be construed to apply as well,
such as dissenters' rights. Although corporations organized in jurisdictions
other than Florida may very well be subject to similar indemnification and
inspection requirements of their home state laws, these decisions could
subject them to inconsistent and additional obligations if they are qualified
or are required to be qualified in Florida and so should consider waivers
or other mitigating steps.

Is this real life??
It's not every day that you walk out of the front door of your house and see the queen of Spain drive right past you on the street. Yep, that's right. That actually happened to me this week.
Sometimes I feel like this world of study abroad experience isn't reality, that I can't possibly be traveling to so many unique places and experiencing so many incredible things. But little by little, the reality is beginning to sink in. Yes, this IS real life, and yes, I'm living in it! And I couldn't be more excited.
Back to the story about the queen, since I know you're wondering what in the world that was all about. On Wednesday Queen Sofía of Spain actually came to Burgos, and one of the main places she came to visit was the monastery that's directly across the street from my house. Here's what it looks like:
I knew she was planning to be in Burgos, but I didn't know much about her visit beyond that. I just happened to walk out of the front door about 45 seconds before a small caravan of cars zoomed past into the entrance of the monastery. People were lined up along the street, clapping and cheering as the queen went by. (My host mom's opinion: "I'm anti-monarchical and don't believe we should even have a king and queen. This is the 21st century and we're in a democracy." She stayed inside.) Interestingly, they removed all of the trash containers/dumpsters from everywhere in our neighborhood on the day Queen Sofía came to visit. Apparently she can't know we're normal people and therefore need somewhere to put our trash. It's experiences like these that make me question the reality of this wonderful existence…who would have thought that on a normal day I'd get the chance to see the queen?
Another part of my life that's sometimes hard to believe is the AWESOME Bible study I've been having with my WMU friends (7 of us total). We're studying the gospel of John, and I'm blown away every week not only by the fact that these girls are interested in studying the Bible together, but also that they have such a deep desire to learn more about God and have so many insightful thoughts about what the Scriptures mean for our lives. Wow.
Oh yeah, and my mom's here in Spain with me!!!! That's REALLY hard to believe, especially after a month and a half of not seeing her.
She arrived in Burgos this past Thursday, and I've spent the past few days showing her the city and my daily life here. On Thursday night I gave her a tour of the city. Friday morning, I brought her to class with me, and then we went to the castle overlooking Burgos, which was built in 884 (yes, you read that date correctly). We went to a really cool event on Friday night that is basically a group of students that gets together to help Spanish students learn English – my Mom LOVED getting to talk to people and help them improve their speaking skills (that's definitely the former English teacher in her coming out…).
On Saturday morning we spent some time in a beautiful park, and came home to a huge meal/celebration with tons of my host mom's friends and family for her son in law's birthday. There was a lot of loud, fast Spanish being spoken, so I hope she wasn't overwhelmed. I know I enjoyed it, even the heated (but not mean-spirited) arguments about politics. Today (Sunday) I brought her to church, so she was able to meet most of my church family here.
I don't have classes this week (also hard to wrap my mind around), since my program gives us a week off to travel. So, tomorrow my mom and I fly out to spend a week together in Paris!! I can't wait – it's hard to think that I'm actually going to see the Eiffel Tower and so many other famous places for myself! Make sure to s tay tuned for pictures and further adventures. :)
Although at times the events this study abroad experience seem almost unbelievable, I'm determined to enjoy every minute of it.

"But for now I'm having fun getting to know and work with some incredible pickers," Leigh said.
The performance in Old Forge was a homecoming of sorts for the Gibson Brothers, who were playing to a crowd of longtime fans and paddlers. Old Forge is on the southern end of their home turf in New York's Adirondack Park and hosted the annual Paddlefest this past weekend.
Both Clayton Campbell on the fiddle and Mike Barber on upright bass joined Eric and Leigh. Campbell has been with the Gibsons for nine years, and Barber for 20.
"Because of that, we allowed him this year to get married," Leigh said of Barber, who also co-produces albums with the brothers. "So he's going to do that this fall."
Their set began with "Help My Brother," title track to the 2011 IBMA Album of the Year. It was followed by a collection of songs from past albums, such as "Safe Passage," "The Open Road," "Farm of Yesterday," "Dreams That End Like This," "Just Lovin' You," "Red Letter Day," and "Walkin' West to Memphis." It also featured music from their new album, including "The Darker the Night, the Better I See," "Dying for Someone to Live For," "Buy a Ring, Find a Preacher," and the title track and the Gibson's current No. 1 hit, "They Called It Music," which Eric co-wrote with Joe Newberry.
"There aren't really singles in bluegrass music. Deejays play whatever they like to play," Leigh said during the concert, filling the time while Eric tuned his banjo. "This is the one they're playing the most, so it's kind of the song that's charting for us. I can't believe it; I've written things for the record, and they're not really charting. But this one of Eric's is. Maybe there's still some payola out in the world Eric's using up."

Update: there is an interim, not final build for the graphics and performance bugs available here. In particular, the Macs and lower end Linux systems should see significant speed improvements. Once the other bugs are resolved, we will do an official new build push. Let us know how it goes for you!
Happy New Year, folks!
Our awesome Linux and Mac porter Ryan Gordon has released as open source some tools that he created during the port of Shank to Linux / OSX. Every Humble Indie Bundle, the good folks try and release some open source material, and this time around Shank needed some heavy work, and we're happy that it could someday help others, too. Take a look here to get a nice libtheora integration as well as an updated version of MojoShader.
I also got an update from Ryan that, although he's still up to his neck in work, he's going to try and carve out time this week to fix the remaining issues on the OSX / Linux ports. Sorry about the wait, folks! It's a bit out of my control but I'll keep following up and posting here as I hear more.

Deane & State Department Involvement?
Obviously, if this is the case, we are in over our heads and should rescind the resolution immediately.
From bvbl.net –
UPDATE: I'm hearing that the U.S. State Department has contacted county officials today in order to find out what's been going on. Now that the federal government has taken an interest in what has transpired, I imagine answers are going to be coming pretty quickly, although the citizens may not be able to hear what those answers actually were if the information is deemed to relate to matters of national security.
Again, what about Chairman Stewart meeting with the German delegation and their discussion of the resolution? Back in November it was reported both in the Washington Times and the DC Examiner that Supervisor Stirrup and Stewart had what was described as a 'debate' with four German lawmakers which apparently was their sole purpose for meeting with them.

If you live in South Carolina, the odds of a catastrophic hurricane wreaking havoc on your house are surprisingly low, according to recent research. One analysis done at the request of The Post and Courier found that a specific point in Charleston might not see a Category 3 or greater hurricane for more than 300 years.
But while the odds are low for a particular location, the likelihood that a hurricane will affect some place on South Carolina's 187-mile coast is much greater. Historians and meteorologists know that a hurricane-strength storm will come within 50 miles every five years on average.
And on some occasions, these storms have changed history, said Lawrence Rowland, professor emeritus at the University of South Carolina-Beaufort.
"All American history begins not far from here," he said, standing on a bluff in downtown Beaufort and pointing across the harbor toward Parris Island.
It was there that French Hugenots built a settlement in 1562, stoking competition with the Spanish for what was known as Florida. In 1565, Jean Ribault sailed toward the fort near St. Augustine to attack the Spanish, but ran into the teeth of a hurricane.
His fleet was destroyed; the Spanish slaughtered the survivors who made it to shore.
Thanks to the storm, France's aspirations to control the Atlantic Coast began to evaporate, he said.
Much later, the Sea Islands hurricane of 1893 hammered Beaufort and killed as many as 2,000 people. Rowland said that storm helped end important Lowcountry industries, such as phosphate mining and rice cultivation.

This morning, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Hollingsworth v Perry, the challenge to the constitutionality of California's Prop 8. There are lots of reports on how those arguments went and Oyez has a very cool page up that syncs the audio of those arguments with a transcript as well. Lyle Denniston's recap of the arguments suggests that Kennedy may well be looking for a way to punt the case:
Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in an unusually candid process of elimination of options in public, on Tuesday worked his way through the ways for dealing with California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and seemed strongly tempted to just take a pass. He appeared to be troubled about the Court entering "uncharted waters," on the core issue of who may marry, but at the same time, he also did not look comfortable with any of the other, more limited options. So he openly wondered why the Court had agreed even to hear this case.
Focusing on Kennedy, although that is often the closest one can come to anticipating outcomes on a divided Court, was an even more reliable approach this time given that the other eight Justices were so clearly split: four friendly to same-sex marriage as a constitutional matter, three hostile to it — and, in the end, likely to attract a fourth to that view.
If the Justices, in the initial vote they will take on this case in private later this week, do not find themselves with a majority on any of the issues they canvassed, then they might well be looking for a way out. One way would be to find that the proponents of Proposition 8 did not have a legal right to be in court to defend it, but even that was a hotly disputed issue on the bench. The other way out was directly suggested by Kennedy, and pursued by him in more than a fleeting way: dismiss this case as one that should not have been accepted. A decision like that, though, could take weeks or months to reach…
As Kennedy openly reacted to these proposals, he seemed to be losing patience, and well into the argument said "there is a question whether this case was properly granted" — that is, was it a mistake for the Court to accept the Hollingsworth appeal for review. The lawyers at the lectern said it was a proper case that had been fully litigated, but Kennedy did not drop the idea.
Although that possibility did not pick up definite support across the bench, the fact that Kennedy was ready to consider it seriously may have been all that counted. It was quite clear that the Court's conservatives had wanted the case to be reviewed, because of their dislike for the ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court striking down Proposition 8. But a decision by a controlling number of Justices to end the case as "improvidently granted" would be a way to avoid an even more widely splintered decision that might settle nothing at all of constitutional consequence on marriage.
I have been operating under the assumption that one side or the other had wanted that built-in procedural out in both cases so they had a way of disposing of them without reaching the merits in case they thought they couldn't get Kennedy's vote. But if Kennedy himself wants to take that out, it's likely to be taken. Tom Goldstein had exactly the same reaction:
The bottom line, in my opinion, is that the Court probably will not have the five votes necessary to get to any result at all, and almost certainly will not have five votes to decide the merits of whether Proposition 8 is constitutional.
Several Justices seriously doubt whether the petitioners defending Proposition 8 have "standing" to appeal the district court ruling invalidating the measure. These likely include not only more liberal members but also the Chief Justice. If standing is lacking, the Court would vacate the Ninth Circuit's decision.
The Justices seem divided on the constitutionality of Proposition 8 on ideological lines, four to four – i.e., all the members other than Justice Kennedy. For the more liberal members of the Court, there was no clarity on how broadly they would rule.
But Justice Kennedy seemed very unlikely to provide either side with the fifth vote needed to prevail. He was deeply concerned with the wisdom of acting now when in his view the social science of the effects of same-sex marriage is uncertain because it is so new. He also noted the doubts about the petitioners' standing. So his suggestion was that the case should be dismissed.
Either of those outcomes would mean that the lower court ruling would stand and Prop 8 would be invalidated, but it would have no implications outside of California at all. Neither side would be satisfied with such a ruling, of course, but the pro-equality side would be happier than the anti-equality side.

Tennessee and New Mexico give money to public colleges and universities for graduating high numbers of older and low-income students. Mississippi uses the power of the purse to promote science and technology programs. And Missouri is tying taxpayer dollars to graduation rates and students' scores on tests and professional licensing exams.
The goals differ from state to state, but performance-based funding is a growing trend in higher education. Traditionally, states subsidize schools based on how many students they enroll. But a dozen states now tie funding to performance, four are moving in that direction and another 20 are considering it, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
In most states, the portion of public money tied to performance is still relatively small — typically between 2 percent and 5 percent. But tight state budgets, rising tuition rates and a sharper focus on producing graduates with marketable skills may change that.

How the Windsor Decision Affects Retirement Plans
Prepared by Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. Copyright 2013 for use by Evan R. Guido
How the Windsor Decision Affects Retirement Plans
Spouses of employer-sponsored retirement plan participants have certain rights when it comes to the plans. Because of this, the legal definition of "spouse" is very important to both plan sponsors and plan participants in understanding how a retirement plan works.
On June 26, 2013, in United States v. Windsor, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional Section 3 of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Section 3 of DOMA stated that the definition of marriage was limited to the union of one man and one woman. The Windsor decision means that federal law recognizes same-sex couples married under state law; same-sex couples are now able to receive federal benefits and protections that were previously afforded only to opposite-sex married couples. The decision does not, however, require individual states to recognize same-sex marriages.
Pursuant to the Windsor ruling, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) released guidance stating that same-sex couples married in a state where same-sex marriage is legal ("state of celebration") are recognized under federal law for tax and employee benefit purposes. What this means for qualified retirement plans is that spousal plan provisions are extended to same-sex spouses, even in states where same-sex marriages are not recognized, provided the marriage took place in a state that recognized same-sex marriage. In April of this year, the IRS issued further guidance to help retirement plan sponsors determine when the law officially applies (i.e., answering questions surrounding retroactivity) and whether plan documents need to be amended.
For employers
Employers will want to take note of a few dates:
- June 26, 2013: Plans must recognize same-sex spouses of participants as of this date to reflect the Windsor decision.
- September 16, 2013: This is the first applicable date when the state of celebration rule must apply. The period between June 26 and September 16, 2013, is considered transitional--employers that recognized same-sex married couples only in cases where the participant was domiciled in a state that recognized same-sex marriages will not be treated as failing to meet the requirements.
- The later of December 31, 2014, or the end of the plan's normal amendment period: Any plan documents that currently have language that is not consistent with the Windsor decision (e.g., any documents that reference the definition of marriage in Section 3 of DOMA, specify recognition based on state of domicile rather than celebration, or are inconsistent with Windsor in any way) must be amended to comply with current law.
Note that not all plans will need amendments--those whose language is neutral enough to be consistent with Windsor will be in compliance, provided they operate in accordance with the new law as of June 26, 2013. In addition, employers may choose to adopt amendments recognizing same-sex marriages prior to June 26, 2013; however, the IRS cautions this may result in complications and "may trigger requirements that are difficult to implement retroactively ... and may create unintended consequences."*
Employers that previously extended benefits to domestic partnerships or civil unions may want to carefully consider the ramifications of any decisions made or amendments drafted that may cut back those benefits. For example, employers may choose to grandfather in couples who were covered prior to June 26, 2013, rather than remove their partner benefit provisions outright.
For plan participants
For you, a key issue revolves around beneficiary designations. Many married participants--in both same-sex and opposite-sex relationships--are not aware that their spouse is automatically their plan beneficiary. For this reason, participants might want to review their beneficiary designations to ensure that they conform with both their wishes and the law.
If the spouse is not the plan participant's desired beneficiary, then the spouse must waive his or her right in writing. For example, if you would prefer that your child be the primary beneficiary, then your spouse must sign a consent form waiving rights to be your primary beneficiary.
Divorce is another situation that should be considered, as same-sex spouses can now be covered under a qualified domestic relations order, which is a legal order documenting how retirement assets will be divided.
Other provisions that may be affected by the law include loans, hardship withdrawals, and annuity payments in retirement (depending on the type of plan and its terms). Participants considering taking money out of their plans for any reason may want to review the rules with regard to spousal consent or applicability to ensure they understand the requirements.

Get Customized Koozies For Your Next Promotional Item
What Is A Koozie?
You are probably already very familiar with Koozies. Many people use this insulated form of drink ware to keep their beverages either cool or warm and to maintain a certain amount of comfort for the hands. The device is a foam cylinder which was thought up in order to provide some desired insulation for either cans or bottles. Users will slide their can or bottle into the Koozie and can usually plan on the insulating properties to last for almost an hour. Most Koozies are designed with a hole or two in the bottom in order to prevent drinks from get stuck inside.
Originally Koozies were made from foam, but the material has changed and developed over the years. Some industrious crafters have knitted their own Koozies from yarn. However, the most common materials are a foam-like neoprene, polyester, or open cell foam.
Why So Much Popularity?
There are a variety of reasons that Koozies are so popular. People like the combination of fun and function as they enjoy drinks with friends and have an opportunity to share passions and opinions in an informal way. This popularity has made them very useful tools in the world of marketing and general information sharing. If you want to make your family reunion memorable, Koozies printed with a family tree allow family members to take some of their memories home. Event planners often enjoy including
Koozies in their gift bags, specially printed with the date and location of the event.
How can you tell if koozies are right for your business? Consider these benefits:
Koozies provide a useful insulation for drinks.
During team meetings, planning events, parties and other get-togethers, noticing that your drink has become warm can make the drink (and the event) much less enjoyable. The Koozie is just the right size and shape to keep your drinks cool without being too bulky for comfortable holding. People will also appreciate how the Koozie allows them to hold onto their cold beverage without discomfort from the icy cold metal of the can.
Koozies provide a better grip on your drink.
Have you ever been working on a project and reached for a drink only to discover that the condensation on the can has made the surface of the drink slippery? Hopefully, this didn't result in a drink spill all over your project. Unfortunately for too many people, this has often been the case. Koozies provide you with a convenient solution. The same insulation which protects your drink from warming up delivers a barrier between your hand and the slippery surface of a 'sweating' can. Projects, tables and clothing everywhere can be a little bit safer when Koozies are employed.
Koozies offer a less expensive alternative to other marketing items.
Screen printing on t-shirts, baseball hats and other promotional items can really add up. Koozies can be a great alternative to those items. It will cost you much less to get the Koozie screen printed. These lower prices may mean that you could choose to include more information on the item than you would otherwise be able to afford. You may benefit by saving money when purchasing the Koozies or you may choose to put those savings into purchasing more items. Either way, you will have additional resources to generate familiarity with your name and logo.
The Koozie will create a tie between the name of your company and good times.
People often relate the drink in their hand to feelings of relaxation or enjoyment. This is a great time to have your company name and logo in mind. Over time, your customers may not be actively thinking about the connection, but the association between your company and their good feelings will have been made. If they were having a good time when they picked up the Koozie, then they will associate their positive feelings with your goods or services.
The Koozie can be an appropriate gift for all kinds of people.
Although the Koozie has often been referred in combination with beer and other alcoholic beverages, its use should not be limited to those drinks. The Koozie works just as well with soda pop or canned fruit drinks. The standard size and shape of the Koozie makes it a perfect one-size-fits-all choice for guests and customers with many different beliefs and lifestyles.
The Koozie has become a fun collectible.
Because of the popularity of the Koozie and the ease of printing the Koozie so many different ways, these items have naturally become collectibles. You use it as a piece of commemorative memorabilia for your event or business and then customers use them as desired. Then finally, either the original customer or a focused collector will use your logo to cap off their Koozie collection.
When Should You Use a Koozie for Your Business?
As a business owner, you understand that time should never be wasted. There is no time to be wasted before you implement the use of Koozies for your business. They have been a popular item since they first came into use and they are only becoming more popular as time passes. Whether you intend to reward your employees with custom-designed Koozies or want to promote your business at a marketing event, the Koozie will always be one of the most popular items.
You can impress your customers, clients and employees with a gift that is both fun and functional. You can keep your image in their thoughts daily and create a positive tie between your name and their pleasant feelings. Easy to store and simple to care for, the Koozie will work hard on behalf of your business.
