Authorities were trying to figure out what prompted a man to ram his vehicle into a Remount Road office building three times -- and into three separate offices - this morning.
No one was injured in the incident, and police said the driver was in custody.
Employees standing around the building at 1141 Remount Road were speculating this morning that the man was angry, perhaps because of recently announced layoffs at one or more of the companies with offices at the location.
North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor, in response to an email, did not speculate on the man's motives. "A motorist suffering a medical condition crashed his vehicle in to an office building at 1141 Remount Road," Pryor said in the email. "The driver was transported to the hospital for treatment. No charges have been filed against the driver."
The incident happened shortly before 7 a.m., Pryor said.

Dear Queen's Supporter,
Here at Queen's, we are reinventing undergraduate education in Arts and Science. New technologies, fresh approaches, and an emphasis on direct, hands-on experience, both in and outside the classroom, are helping to create a more flexible, engaging and relevant undergraduate experience.
Since arriving at Queen's last summer to begin my post as Dean of Arts and Science, I've been impressed with the high intellectual ability of our students. They are capable of so much, and I believe they will exceed our expectations through the kind of opportunities we are making available through online, blended and experiential learning.
You may already know that we have implemented blended learning, a bold move away from the traditional format of lectures, seminars and labs by using online content and small group work, to expose students in first- and second-year courses to our top-notch researchers and their cutting-edge work.
For example, students who are working with renowned Canadian poet and creative writing professor Carolyn Smart can opt for an exclusively online version of her courses. Students post and critique work online, freed from the structure of scheduled classes and seminars, working when they have time, and as inspiration strikes them.
We're even breaking out of the classroom altogether, creating new opportunities for experiential learning. Queen's Arts and Science students are helping unlock the mysteries of dark matter at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.
Closer to home, they are putting their knowledge to work at the Queen's University Biology Station (QUBS). Eric Taylor, a third-year Biology student told me about his experience with QUBS: "I learned a lot about both the natural and human history of the area, and even more about the conservation of local species. This put a lot of my education in perspective and I learned how to apply many of the practices I was taught in class. My experience at QUBS added depth to my degree, and I am very thankful for the opportunity."
These kinds of exciting learning opportunities ensure that Queen's continues to be a leader in undergraduate Arts and Science education.
The Innovative Learning Fund ensures that Queen's Arts and Science undergraduates continue to get the best education possible – one that will have a lasting impact on their lives. We look to our alumni to continue the generosity of spirit that makes Queen's such a special place.
Our students have the passion and commitment to seek to change the world. Our challenge is to sustain and build the programs that inspire our students and prepare them to make a difference. But we need your help.
Please join me and add your support with a gift to the Arts and Science Innovative Learning Fund, where every donor, every dollar, and every gift creates opportunity.

- Quark-Gluon-Plasma (2)
- quark-gluon-plasma (2)
- Kollisionen schwerer Ionen (1)
- Monte-Carlo model for relativistic heavy ion collisions (1)
- Statistical model (1)
- Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)
- The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.
- Fluctuations and inhomogenities of energy density and isospin in Pb + Pb at the SPS (1998)
- The main goal of heavy ion physics in the last fifteen years has been the search for the quark-gluon-plasma(QGP). Until now, unambigous experimental evidence for the QGP is missing.
- Equilibrium and non-equilibrium effects in relativistic heavy ion collisions (1999)
- The hypothesis of local equilibrium (LE) in relativistic heavy ion collisions at energies from AGS to RHIC is checked in the microscopic transport model. We find that kinetic, thermal, and chemical equilibration of the expanding hadronic matter is nearly reached in central collisions at AGS energy for t >_ fm/c in a central cell. At these times the equation of state may be approximated by a simple dependence P ~= (0.12-0.15) epsilon. Increasing deviations of the yields and the energy spectra of hadrons from statistical model values are observed for increasing bombarding energies. The origin of these deviations is traced to the irreversible multiparticle decays of strings and many-body (N >_ 3) decays of resonances. The violations of LE indicate that the matter in the cell reaches a steady state instead of idealized equilibrium. The entropy density in the cell is only about 6% smaller than that of the equilibrium state.
- Microscopic calculations of stopping and flow from 160AMeV to 160AGeV (1996)
- The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Effects of a density dependent pole of the rho-meson propagator on dilepton spectra are studied for different systems and centralities at CERN energies.
- Local equilibrium in heavy ion collisions. Microscopic model versus statistical model analysis (1999)
- The assumption of local equilibrium in relativistic heavy ion collisions at energies from 10.7 AGeV (AGS) up to 160 AGeV (SPS) is checked in the microscopic transport model. Dynamical calculations performed for a central cell in the reaction are compared to the predictions of the thermal statistical model. We find that kinetic, thermal and chemical equilibration of the expanding hadronic matter are nearly approached late in central collisions at AGS energy for t >= 10 fm/c in a central cell. At these times the equation of state may be approximated by a simple dependence P ~= (0.12-0.15) epsilon. Increasing deviations of the yields and the energy spectra of hadrons from statistical model values are observed for increasing energy, 40 AGeV and 160 AGeV. These violations of local equilibrium indicate that a fully equilibrated state is not reached, not even in the central cell of heavy ion collisions at energies above 10 AGeV. The origin of these findings is traced to the multiparticle decays of strings and many-body decays of resonances.
- Extracting the equation of state from a microscopic non-equilibrium model (1996)
- We study the thermodynamic properties of infinite nuclear matter with the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD), a semiclassical transport model, running in a box with periodic boundary conditions. It appears that the energy density rises faster than T4 at high temperatures of T approx. 200 - 300 MeV. This indicates an increase in the number of degrees of freedom. Moreover, We have calculated direct photon production in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/u within this model. The direct photon slope from the microscopic calculation equals that from a hydrodynamical calculation without a phase transition in the equation of state of the photon source.
- Collective flow in heavy ion reactions and the properties of excited nuclear matter (1996)
- Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) calculations of central collisions between heavy nuclei are used to study fragment production and the creation of collective flow. It is shown that the final phase space distributions are compatible with the expectations from a thermally equilibrated source, which in addition exhibits a collective transverse expansion. However, the microscopic analyses of the transient states in the intermediate reaction stages show that the event shapes are more complex and that equilibrium is reached only in very special cases but not in event samples which cover a wide range of impact parameters as it is the case in experiments. The basic features of a new molecular dynamics model (UQMD) for heavy ion collisions from the Fermi energy regime up to the highest presently available energies are outlined.
- Signatures of dense hadronic matter in ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions (1996)
- The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Dilepton spectra are calculated with and without shifting the rho pole. Except for S+Au collisions our calculations reproduce the CERES data.
- Local thermodynamical equilibrium and the equation of state of hot, dense matter created in Au+Au collisions at AGS (1998)
- Local kinetic and chemical equilibration is studied for Au+Au collisions at 10.7 AGeV in the microscopic Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD). The UrQMD model exhibits dramatic deviations from equilibrium during the high density phase of the collision. Thermal and chemical equilibration of the hadronic matter seems to be established in the later stages during a quasiisentropic expansion, observed in the central reaction cell with volume 125 fm3. For t > 10 fm/c the hadron energy spectra in the cell are nicely reproduced by Boltzmann distributions with a common rapidly dropping temperature. Hadron yields change drastically and at the late expansion stage follow closely those of an ideal gas statistical model. The equation of state seems to be simple at late times: P = 0.12 Epsilon. The time evolution of other thermodynamical variables in the cell is also presented.
- Equation of state, spectra and composition of hot and dense infinite hadronic matter in a microscopic transport model (1998)
- Equilibrium properties of infinite relativistic hadron matter are investigated using the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model. The simulations are performed in a box with periodic boundary conditions. Equilibration times depend critically on energy and baryon densities. Energy spectra of various hadronic species are shown to be isotropic and consistent with a single temperature in equilibrium. The variation of energy density versus temperature shows a Hagedorn-like behavior with a limiting temperature of 130 +/- 10 MeV. Comparison of abundances of different particle species to ideal hadron gas model predictions show good agreement only if detailed balance is implemented for all channels. At low energy densities, high mass resonances are not relevant; however, their importance raises with increasing energy density. The relevance of these different conceptual frameworks for any interpretation of experimental data is questioned.

Breaking the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse: Obama's Agenda
It's been going on for sixty years. Or a century. Or a millennium. Or more. It depends on how you look at it, but the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation defiantly resists resolution, yielding an unending harvest of blood. Decades of inconclusive conflict have made clear that neither side can achieve its goals by purely military means.

Rick Ross may conflate "royalty" and "chief of state" in the God Forgives, I Don't cut "Presidential," but the the song's new video shows that Rozay has got an eye for politics, too. The song itself is mostly about boss things like "Billie Jean thumping" babes and gold watches, but the video begins anyways with a sample from the speech President Obama gave at last week's Democratic National Convention. "America, I never said this journey would be easy," booms the President, assuring then, before "Presidential"'s Pharrell beat kicks in, that, "Yes our path is harder, but it leads to a better place." Obama might not have considered "weed crumbs on the cruise ship" when he imagined "a better place," but there's no denying that Ross believes that said ship is a marked improvement from "3rd floor projects, feel my point of view." And so to at least on that point, big Bawse Rick Ross and big Boss Obama can see eye to eye, strictly presidential.
Ross wasn't the only hip hop heavyweight to show love to President Obama this week. It's only Tuesday, and already he has won the efforts and affections of some of hip hop's biggest characters. Who else is feeling the blue this week? Let's have a look:
Yesterday, Obama shrugged off suggestions that Nicki might be voting for his opponent, Mitt Romney, in the upcoming presidential race. "Yeah, I'm not sure that's exactly what happened," he said when asked directly about the "Mercy" line. He was right to question the veracity of the line, and his comments earned him some real and literal love from Nicki. "Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do…*sends love & support*," she tweeted. That cleared up, we would like to go ahead and suggest that the #BarbzWinAgain tag she used in a later related tweet be adopted as the official tag for Barbz for Obama and maybe also Trolls for Obama '12 twitter campaigns.
Jay-Z saddled close the Commander in Chief, and today it was announced that the Roc Nation head and first lady Bey will host a $40,000-a-ticket fundraising dinner for 100 people and Obama himself at Jay's 40/40 club next week. In return for the favor, Obama has provided the new parents with a presidential term's worth of these.
Snoop Lion pledged his support for the incumbent president while doing press at the Toronto International Film Festival. "Let me begin, Obama for four more years," he said, adding quite convincingly that, "Bush f***ed up for eight years, so, I mean, you gotta at least give [Obama] eight years.He cleaned half the s–t up in four years, realistically. It ain't like y'all gave him a clean house. Y'all gave him a house where the TV didn't work, the toilet was stuffed up – everything was wrong with the house." Earlier this year, Snoop Dog otherwise endorsed Ron Paul, but presumably the name change brought also a change of heart.

|Over the past centuries, remains of many hundreds of people–men, women, and children–have come to light during peat cutting activities in northwestern Europe, especially in Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, northern Germany, and Denmark. These are the "bog bodies." The individual bog bodies show a great degree of variation in their state of preservation, from skeletons, to well-preserved complete bodies, to isolated heads and limbs. T
They range in date from 8000 B.C. to the early medieval period. Most date from the centuries around the beginning of our era. We do not know exactly how many bog bodies have been found — many have disappeared since their discovery.
Many people find it hard to imagine that the dark brown bog bodies were once human beings of flesh and blood who lived in timber houses, brought up children, looked after their cattle, grew crops, made clothes, prepared meals, and manufactured tools. Facial reconstructions and remains of their hair and clothing give us an idea of how they looked during life.
No one knows how these people ended up in the bogs, but it seems that most of the bodies are not the remains of unlucky people who fell in after losing their way. According to classical authors, the Roman Iron Age people of northern Europe offered human sacrifices and executed people as punishment for crimes or perceived social imperfections. Many of those found in the bogs died violent deaths.
Wijnand van der Sanden, a government archaeologist for Drenthe Province, the Netherlands, is one of the foremost authorities on bog bodies. His book, Through Nature to Eternity: The Bog People of Northwest Europe, was published as an accompaniment to an exhibition he put together in 1996 at Silkeborg Museum, in Silkeborg, Denmark. The exhibition was the first time almost all of the bog bodies of northwestern Europe were gathered together in one place. Many of the following bog bodies were featured in the exhibition.
For more information about the Bog discoveries and the Bog people themselves go to the Archaeology.org website.

Decorate your trees with Aurora solar lights
I love decorating my trees and plants with lights, sometimes even if it's not the holiday season. They really illuminate your barbecue parties or birthdays or even a romantic dinner. But being a green-thinker, I do prefer using solar alternatives like Aurora solar lights instead of regular electric ones.
I am not a miser, but I do not want to waste energy all year round. The solar powered solar lights offer a perfect solution here. They are functional, affordable and eco-friendly too. Elegant string lights are made with artisan hand-blown glass. Their luminescent detailing surely makes you feel like it's already Christmas.
But the good thing here is that you can get a lot of color choices here apart from reds and green. The 'fantastically' bright LED lights come with 6 copper hanging hooks. Their high powered Ni-MH battery gives them a decent glow time of 6 hours. You also get 5″ x 5″ AA rechargeable batteries at amazing prices.
One of my favorites is the Aurora glow glass solar string light with Amber LED. So, you can nestle these sparkling in the deck railing, trees, and driveway and almost anywhere in the house. I let the lights charge outside and bring them in for dinner parties at times.
When not in use, you can always stock them away. The solar collector has removable planting stake so that you can position it on the floor or mount it with ease. Since, they are solar operated they turn off automatically at dusk. And you don't have to get up in the middle of the night, worrying about leaving these on!

Johnson Scoring Shoe Open
Left: Sam Johnson
By: Weah Ephraim Harris
Liberian footballers in the Swedish league this season are
trying to balance their clubs ranking in various divisions.
Lone Star Under-23 striker Sam Johnson has started scoring
this season, the Liberian forward netted two goals on
Saturday in Juventus IF 4-0 victory, and it was the club
first win this season.
While Liberia's defensive block Arnold Kennedy was also
active in the middle for the club during their 4-0 smile
last weekend against Järna SK.
Lone Star forward Dioh Williams is the only Liberian
currently in the Swedish top flight (Allsvenskan) with BK
Hacken that is 3rd on the log with 16 points from nine
matches. The result from their midweek fixture against IFK
Norrkoping may increase their ranking on shift them a step
down on the table.
The Liberian forward is yet to score and he will be looking
forward to the mid clash to register his first goal of the
Amadaiya Rennie is currently roasting things with for
Degerfors IF that plays in the Superttan league, which the
second level of football in Sweden.
Degerfors IF got their first win last weekend. The club lost
their first four matches of the season before they got the
3-1 victory from Brage IF and lost to Varberg last Saturday.
The club will face Varnamo today (Wednesday) during their
7th league fixture. Degerfors IF is 15 on the sixteen teams
table with three points from six matches.
Three Liberians are making things right with Harnosands FF
in the Swedish 2nd division, striker Prince Somah, forward
James Teaway and top scorer Anthony Allison.
The club is 4th on the ladder with seven points from three
matches and they have a midweek fixture today against
Umedalen today.
Anthony Allison scored 26 goals for Sundsvall IFK last
season in the Swedish league and he is currently Harnosands
FF top scorer this season.
Meanwhile Taurus Manneh was not on the score sheet for IK
Viking over the weekend when they collected their 5-1 win.
The Liberian striker has been netting goals for the Swedish
side since he joined them from 2nd division side Carlsdat
United BK.

Super luxe repurposed French palace with Asian infuences
Shangri-La Hotel Paris, originally a palace, has been converted to a true five-star hotel with meticulous care toward its restoration. An elegant designer's touch is on display throughout the property, from the grand glass cupola and Murano chandelier that crown La Bauhinia restaurant to the delicate wallpaper chinoiserie in the fitness center, a converted stable. The architecture and open space of the high ceilinged lobby is stunning, with the area featuring elaborate moldings, huge tapestry-like rugs, and inlaid marble floors. Each of the hotel's three restaurants is individually and expensively decorated, with unique design elements that match the quality of the fine, Michelin-star cuisine.
Shangri-La's garden is reminiscent of the formal French grounds at Versailles and furnished with luxe, minimalist tables, chairs, and sofas for lingering with a craft cocktail. Antiques and art are everywhere; even the cherry wood-paneled elevators are decorated with classic botanical prints. The Shangri-La transports visitors to another time for a true luxury experience.
Unmatched views of Eiffel Tower fom its location off of the Seine, within walking distance of numerous major sights
Shangri-La Hotel Paris has quintessential views of the Eiffel Tower from certain room balconies and even from some bathtubs. Located right off of the Seine in one of the most expensive areas of the city, the property is a short stroll from the designer shops of Avenue George V. There are tourist destinations galore in the vicinity as well: the Museum of Man, Museum of Modern Art, Paris Aquarium, and other locales are within walking distance. The metro is also close by.
Eiffel Tower views and luxurious decor
Many rooms and suites at Shangri-La Hotel Paris have iconic views of the Eiffel Tower, well worth the upgrade (although these rooms book up quickly). Every room here is fit for an emperor, tastefully decorated in golds and blues with silk-threaded wallpaper, feather duvets, marble bathrooms with heated floors, Bulgari toiletries, and TVs embedded in mirrors (even in the bathrooms) to preserve the period vibe. The Imperial Suite offers over-the-top fabric swags, passementerie, immense canopied beds, and gold bathroom fixtures. Nespresso machines and champagne-stocked minibars are available as well.
A gorgeous mosaic-tiled indoor pool; for diners, acclaimed cuisine from three on-site eateries
There are too many hotel "best features" to choose from, including free shoeshines! The mosaic-tiled swimming pool is exquisite, as are the property's ballrooms, with high ceilings, gold leaf trimmings, and beautifully carved doors. Le Bar is sophisticated and inviting, with memorable designer cocktails. La Bauhinia, a two-story restaurant with a stunning glass cupola, offers Asian-influenced afternoon tea with scrumptious pastries. Shang Palace (one Michelin star) serves authentic Cantonese cuisine in an upscale setting, and L'Abeille (two Michelin stars) serves seasonal haute cuisine -- think suckling pig, lobster, and foie gras. For those wishing to work off the calories from fine dining, a 24-hour fitness center is on-site, as is a lovely small spa for relaxing.
Guests at the 101-room Shangri-La Hotel Paris receive the five-star treatment in this former palace, built by Napoleon for his grandnephew. Because of its meticulous restoration and attention to detail, Shangri-La feels like a boutique hotel, or a museum in which you can spend the night. Two Michelin-star restaurants and the unparalleled views of the Eiffel Tower from balconies -- and even from some guest room bathtubs -- mean Shangri-La truly lives up to its reputation as a top luxury stay.

Summary (from Goodreads): My name is Michael Vey, and the story I'm about to tell you is strange. Very strange. It's my story.
To everyone at Meridian High School, Michael Vey is an ordinary fourteen-year-old. In fact, the only thing that seems to set him apart is the fact that he has Tourette's syndrome. But Michael is anything but ordinary. Michael has special powers. Electric powers.
Michael thinks he's unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor also has special powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up this way, but their investigation brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric children – and through them the world. Michael will have to rely on his wits, powers, and friends if he's to survive.
My Review: I think that your reaction to the summary of this book will be the best judge of whether or not you are going to like this novel. As I was first reading it, phrases like "It's my story," "but Michael is anything but ordinary," and "Michael will have to rely on his wits, powers and friends if he's to survive," stuck out at me. Not in a good way. In fact the whole summary screamed, "I'm an ordinary book." And it was.
Richard Paul Evans has written many best-selling novels for adults, and this is his first foray into the world of young adult fiction. And it seems to me that he's got a lot to learn. One of the major problems with this novel is that the characters do not act their age. Case in point (from my uncorrected proof):
My birthday was the one time of the year that my mother said nothing when I filled my plate with more whipped cream than crepe.I've never been a fifteen year-old boy, but I've observed them plenty. I think it's more likely that a 12 year-old boy would ask to go to the new aquarium with his friend and then to PizzaMax with his mother. A fifteen year-old boy would be more likely to tell his mom to shove it and go see an action movie with his friends, or not do anything at all. Birthdays just aren't a big deal to older teenage boys.
She made herself a simple crepe with butter and powdered sugar then sat down next to me. "I'm sorry I have to work today. Are you sure you're okay with celebrating after school on Monday?"
"I don't care what day we celebrate," I said with my mouth full.
"And we'll have cake and ice cream tonight. Do you and Ostin still want to go to the new aquarium on Monday?"
"Yeah. And can we go to PizzaMax for dinner?"
"Whatever you want. It's your day." She smiled at me and her eyes got all sparkly. "I can't believe you're fifteen. Another yaer and you'll be driving. You've grown into such a fine young man. I am so proud of you."
Not that I don't appreciate Michael's relationship with his mother. I think, however, that in this case, it was way too over the top.
However, there is the addition of Tourette's syndrome to Michael's character. I think that a lot of teens that struggle with this disorder will really connect to this story because of that element. Like Percy Jackson's dyslexia, it's a way to make something that can be really awkward and embarrassing for a teen into something that can be cool and explainable. And for that, I applaud Evans.
However, as a generally whole, the book was far too cliche and unremarkable for me. From Michael's overweight, nerdy friend Ostin, to the beautiful, popular, but all-inclusive cheerleader Taylor, this book is a cookie-cutter model of a adult writer goes young adult. I suspect, however, that in spite of its lack-luster performance for me, this novel will still be another New York Times bestseller for Evans

I LOVE Butterscotch Bagels like a Pig loves slop! Here is the recipe if you are interested. Please Note: though I worked at Bubbas in Arlington, this is NOT the recipe from there...I never saw the recipes, in fact, you had to sign a waiver to get to see one! LOL. This is just a basic bagel recipe I tweaked...and they are just as good as Bubbas!
4 1/4-4 1/2 cups All purpose Flour
2 packages Active Dry Yeast (4 1/2 tsps)
1 1/2 cups warm water (closer to hot, but not boiling)
3 T sugar
1 T salt
1 12 oz bag of butterscotch chips (chocolate chips..whatever)
In a large (mixer) bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour and all the yeast. In separate bowl combine water, sugar and salt. Add to dry mixture then beat at low speed for 1/2 a minute (LOL, 1/2 a minute, so dumb) scrap sides while mixing. Now Beat at High speed for 3 minutes. Start adding enough of the remaining dough to make a moderately stiff dough. Now is the best part, add the Butterscotch or Chocolate chips. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. ( I kneaded the dough in my Kitchen Aid, at stir speed with my dough hook.) Then cover let dough rest 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375. Take dough and cut into 12 portions. Shape into bagel shape. You will need to push all the little chip pieces into the dough, as best you can. Make sure you enlarge the hole in the middle, it will get smaller with the next process.
Now, with a big pot, wide not necessarily tall, (I use my 6 qt Dutch Oven) bring a bunch of water ( 1 gallon or so) and a Tablespoom of sugar to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to simmer. Then when the boil reduces add 4-5 bagels at a time to the water. (They should float.) Cover, and leave in the water 7 minutes, turning once. (You will loose some chips in this process, no worries) I use a slotted spoon to bring them out of the water so they drain. Then place them on a greased cookie sheet and bake (all 12) at 375 for 30-35 minutes.
I discovered this recipe is long, but easy. I would say give it about 2 hours for the first time. I also suggest, never trying to make these when you get up at 5 am...until youve had at least one full cup of coffee. :) I learn most things in life the hard way.

Connection will not work when DSL router is set to NAPT
Hello all.
Let's see if I can type up a unique situation/question that has not been asked yet. Info first.
DSL Modem/Router: Speedstream 5200
* Teamspeak 2 Win32 Client (RC2) version: 220.127.116.11
* Teamspeak 2 Linux Server (RC2) version: 2.0.20.01
* Onboard NVIDIA® SoundStorm + Driver version 6.14.442.30
* Game, None
* DirectX Version 9.0c
The problem:
I am not able to connect to one particular teamspeak server (the linux one listed above) if my router is in NAPT mode. It is in this mode so that both computers on my network can get online at the same time. I have been able to connect to all 3 test servers with no configuration change at all. However. connecting to this server gave the following error:
04-03-05 03:10:00,3496,ERROR,ProcedureInfo,Client Open,Exception: Timeout on recv LoginStep2 wait
I turned off my firewall and forwarded UDP 8767 to my internal static IP within the router. Same error. I finally just switched the router to NAT mode, pointing to my internal IP and it worked. This, however, cuts off the other PC on my network offline completely. So I enabled my firewall and it again, didn't allow it to connect. I set my firewall to allow all ports and to log them, cleared the log and tried to connect. It worked that time. It was blocking my computer from using UDP 53 (DNS) on the router, but this only happened when I connected to that particular server. I opened it up and it worked for that server with the firewall in NAT mode. Strangely I could connect to the test servers fine without opening this port. So I finally have it working with the firewall. I am still unable to access this particular server without keeping my DSL router in NAT mode.
* How often does the error appear? Every time unless it's in NAT mode.
* What did you do to resolve the problem? See above.
* and last but not least: Are you a hot looking girl? No. Sorry.
This of course could very well be some odd configuration server side that neither I nor the person who set it up is aware of but everything was left as default. Thanks in advance. I hope this post wasn't too wordy.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 16, 2005 President Bush issued assurances today during a news conference here that the coalition in Iraq is not crumbling.
"Quite the contrary," he said, "I think the coalition has been buoyed by the courage of the Iraqi people."
Bush's statement came on the heels of reports that Italy would start withdrawing some of its forces by September. He said Italian President Silvio Berlusconi flatly denied this during a phone conversation.
The president said Berlusconi told him there had been no change in his policy and any withdrawals would be done in consultation with allies. And then they would be dependent upon the Iraqis' ability to defend themselves.
Bush said countries will be willing or anxious to get out when Iraqis have the capacity to defend themselves. "And that's the position of the United States," he added. "Our troops will come home when Iraq is capable of defending herself. And that's generally what I find to be the case ... when I've talked to other allies on this issue."
Bush noted that he talks to Army Gen. George Casey, the senior U.S. military commander on the ground in Iraq, about progress in the country. Iraqis are working on standing up chains of command, and there are positive signs in the development of Iraqi security forces, the president pointed out.
He called the meeting of Iraq's Transitional National Assembly today a "bright moment" and a positive step in the process of writing and ratifying a constitution and holding elections.
"I want to congratulate the Iraqis for their assembly," Bush said. "We've always said this is a process, and today was a step in that process. And it's a hopeful moment, I thought."
And though democracy seems to be flickering throughout the broader Middle East, it's the Iraqi people who deserve the credit, Bush said of those who defied the threats against them and their loved ones to head to the polls Jan. 30.
"It was a powerful moment in the history of freedom," he said. "People in the world got to see what it meant ... for a group of people who have been downtrodden to rise up and say, 'I want to be free.'"
There is still more to be done, Bush acknowledged. But the process of forming a government and developing a constitution is proceeding and being done in a transparent way.
The president also said he sees Iraq and Afghanistan serving as role models for the rest of the Middle East and expressed optimism that a Palestinian state would be established ands Syria would withdraw its forces and intelligence assets from Lebanon. "I believe those examples will serve as examples for others over time and that will lead to more peace," he said. "And that's what we want."

What if Freud was wrong? What if what drives us is not our need to see primal desires fulfilled? What if our deepest need is to experience joy? The latest discoveries in neuroscience show the significance of joyful relationships to the development of a strong identity that produces resilience for dealing with life's challenges. What is joy? What makes it so important? What helps it grow? What blocks it? And is there a difference between joy and happiness? In this book you'll discover that real joy is relational, and that perhaps living a life of joy is better than chasing moments of happiness.
What people are saying
about "Joy Starts Here: The Transformation Zone"
This book offers a shortcut to transformation by showing us ways to cooperate with how the brain is wired to run best on joy. Emotional maturity is at our doorstep through skills practiced in everyday life.
What a powerful reality unfolds in these chapters for Spiritual Formation to Christlikeness! One can only hope every pastor in America gets this book in their hands and applies it forthright.
Dr. Wilder and colleagues have created a densely packed, multi-disciplinary wealth of information built from their own experiences in counseling, teaching and addiction. Their premise that joy is primarily experienced through relationships and essential to healthy life is backed by scientific research. This book sheds light on how and why joy is lost, the variety of things we try and substitute for it, and how best to get joy back. This is a valuable resource.
I absolutely love Joy Starts Here. It is so much easier to teach than the Life Model or any of the other classes because the terminology instantly makes sense to people. It unfolds like a map of how to live like Jesus taught - in joy and shalom during the storms of life.
Joy Starts Here provides the best model I've seen for bringing Christ to the center of counseling and restoring disintegrated community fabric within Christian churches.

I was born and raised in San Diego, California and still consider it "home." God has blessed me with a wonderful wife named Gena who has a heart of gold and a personality to match- not to mention she's quite a "hottie". I have two stepdaughters. Kassie, 24, graduated from Baylor in August of 2008 and is currently applying to PhD. programs in Archaeology. Jordan, 18, is a senior at Midway High School and (GOD willing) a future Baylor student. I also have 6 wonderful dogs, 5 that live with me (Max, Ally, Peanut, Dakota and Madison) and 1, Kayleigh, that watches over my family every day from heaven (along with her cousin Yahtzee) as our guardian angel. And if dogs don't go to heaven, then when I die, I want to go wherever they go. One of my favorite quotes is "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." Not to leave out my cats. We have one cat that lives with us (Tyler) and three that watch over us (Crewser, Rookie and Cookie) with Kayleigh and Yahtzee. God has blessed me with a passion to teach, speak for, and write about dogs. I teach them as a dog trainer at PETsMART. I advocate for them as a member of the Waco Animal Shelter's Board of Directors. I write about them in children's books and movie screenplays. I also love marine life and one of the highlights of my life thus far was visiting Keiko, the whale made famous from the Free Willy movies, in Iceland several years ago. I am a huge sports' fan and while I love Baylor sports, my heart bleeds USC's cardinal and gold. I have six USC graduates in my family. Go Charger's and Padres, too! I love to be outdoors, especially taking long walks with the dogs. If I could live anywhere, I'd pack up the entire family and move to a small town in Montana and live life looking at majestic mountains and pristine lakes every day. Of course, I love Baylor and the people I work with here, so I'm not going anywhere any time soon.
I do a lot of advising with our majors along with presenting Fall Premiere each year. I also present numerous job search seminars for Career Services and in the Waco community every year.

For almost thirty years, the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank has been helping to feed the hungry by supplementing food to hundreds of non-profit organizations around the Northland. However, without any government funding, it operates on true charitable donations.
"The community is very important. From the individual donor to the church organizations to businesses that support us financially," Second Harvest Executive Director Shaye Moris said.
Second Harvest is not a food shelf, but rather a food bank, where food is rescued from grocery stores, hospitals, schools and much more. This is food that would go unused or wasted if not collected by the food bank.
It's then delivered to a range of 120 non-profit agencies in Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin, according to Moris.
"So, it's a pretty large service area and a whole lot of food that would go to waste if we didn't rescue it and put it to good use," Moris said.
It's all part of the food rescue program operating six days a week. The food is counted and stored in a massive 23,500 square foot warehouse before it's repacked and delivered to places like CHUM, the Boys and Girls Club, and Union Gospel Mission, according to Moris.
"it really helps a lot. We average, I think, 2,000 lbs a day," Food Rescue Delivery Driver Mark Water said.
Waters is out daily collecting anything from dry goods to perishable items, such as eggs, bread, and even pie. It all benefits a range of agencies. "And a lot of them say they can't survive without this program," Waters said.
While individual food donations are a great asset, Moris says it's the financial donations that can make the biggest difference.
"For $1 dollar donated to our food bank, we can access, through our donated sources, enough food for five meals. Or about $10 dollars worth of food," she said.
However it's not just the donations that make this operation possible. Volunteers are a necessity for Second Harvest, utilizing about 600 volunteers a year, according to Moris.
Marty Mehling has volunteered at the food bank for almost seven years and says it was an easy choice of where to spend his time. "It's a very worthy cause. It's the volunteers that make it work so they don't have to spend a lot of money on staff," he said.
Mehling knows the work he and others do at Second Harvest is beneficial and necessary. "Unfortunately, there is a need," Mehling said, "We see it more and more every day," he said.
The need in the region is great, but Moris says there is another reason why the annual Have a Heart Help a Neighbor Food Drive is so important. It gets people talking about hunger in our area.
"This is an issue in our community, that we have a lot of children, a lot of seniors, who, if not for our local food programs, a lot of people would be going without," Moris said.
You can help Friday morning, Dec. 7 by stopping by the First United Methodist Church and making a cash or food donation from 5 to 9 a.m. You can always make a donation online by clicking here.

Threatening a return to the days when Russia was hemmed in by NATO distrust and shunned by investors seems an ill-starred way for President Vladimir Putin to win his confrontation with the West.
In his state of the nation address, Vladimir Putin served notice on corrupt bureaucrats who enrich themselves at the public expense. But there are signs they can safely ignore him as he no longer controls the agenda
Medvedev, who was president for four years until May, appeared to be trying to disassociate himself from the jail terms which were condemned as excessive by the West
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday issued a veiled warning about China's rising influence in Russia's resource-rich Far East, saying it was essential to defend the area against "excessive expansion by bordering states."
Support for President Vladimir Putin is sliding across Russia
Russia's lower house of parliament confirmed former president Dmitry Medvedev as prime minister on Tuesday, completing a job swap with Vladimir Putin that has sparked protests against the two leaders' grip on power.
Vladimir Putin took the oath as Russia's president on Monday at the start of a six-year term in which he faces growing dissent, economic problems and bitter political rivalries
President-elect Vladimir Putin tried to distance himself from the fraud-tainted ruling United Russia party on Tuesday, announcing he was stepping down as its chairman
A Russian passenger plane crashed and burst into flames after takeoff in an oil-producing region of Siberia on Monday, killing at least 31 of the 43 people on board, emergency officials said.

With the 2012 GOP race well underway, it's worth taking a look at each candidate's stances on STEM education.
Many of them, such as Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry, have a long history of supporting STEM initiatives, while Ron Paul has championed home schooling, eliminating the Department of Education, and has voted against major STEM programs.
Newt Gingrich - The new GOP front-runner has long championed STEM education initiatives. On his website, Gingrich says that in order to remain competitive with China and India, the U.S. must "commit to improving education, especially in math and science."
In 2008, he advocated eliminating 50 percent of education bureaucracy spending and putting it toward STEM funding, especially in career and technical education. He's even said the U.S. should try paying students to learn math and science, and that the U.S. should welcome corporations to work more closely with schools to develop math and science curricula.

Speech Study
July 16, 2012
Read: Proverbs 18:1-15
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth. Ephesians 4:29
Dr. Deb Roy, a researcher and cognitive scientist with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recorded the first 3 years of his childs life to learn how humans acquire language. He and his wife rigged their home with recording devices, which they used to collect over 200,000 hours of audio and video footage. Amassing, condensing, and editing the recordings enabled them to hear baby sounds like gaga evolve into words like water.
If someone wanted to conduct a research project at your home, would you participate if you knew that your every syllable would be recorded and analyzed? What would the study reveal? Proverbs 18 offers insight about some unwise speech patterns. The writer notes that foolish people express their own opinions instead of trying to understand what others have to say (v.2). Does this characterize us? Do we sometimes provoke fights with our words (v.7), or speak impulsively and answer a matter before [hearing] it? (v.13).
We need to become students of our speech. With Gods help we can identify and transform destructive dialogue into words of encouragement that are good for necessary edification and that impart grace to the hearers (Eph. 4:29).
Take my voice and let me sing Always, only, for my King; Take my lips and let them be Filled with messages for Thee. Havergal

Dink Flamingo's Active Duty Hot American Soldiers Having Wild Gay Sex
Active Duty featured that adorable Bastian taking it to the next level with gorgeous Kaden Saylor. It's a special and intimate scene, in that it was just Kaden and Bastian in the room. Kaden gave Bastian head but then they took things even further and Bastian returned the favor. In the first half of this scene, it looked like Bastian kinda' had the upper hand since he was the one that got to get off and not Kaden. (Bastian shoots twice!) But by the 2nd half we start to realize that Kaden has one thing on his mind, getting his big beautiful cock up Bastian's tight little hole. First Kaden works it over with a small dildo to ease him into it, and then he fucks the daylights out of him!

ATLANTIC BEACH - Gov. Nikki Haley urged the Atlantic Beach Town Council on Tuesday to end the town's annual biker festival and promised to work to help transform the tiny beachfront community into a family-friendly destination that tourists from across the nation will visit.
"Please help us put an end to what we know as Bikefest," Haley urged the council in the wake of a rash of violence during this year's festival on Memorial Day weekend.
But Mayor Jake Evans, who has repeatedly said the event won't end, told reporters that "there's nothing on the table for us to get rid of Bikefest."
"If she wants to help Atlantic Beach in any other kind of way, the citizens of Atlantic Beach and me as the mayor and town council welcome that," he said, noting that the town is open to efforts to make the event safer.
Bikefest attracts tens of thousands of bikers to the small, predominantly black seaside community of about 350 year-round residents.
This year, while there was no trouble in Atlantic Beach, there were eight shootings, with three deaths, in nearby communities along the Grand Strand.
Jamie Alexander Williams, 28, Devonte Herman Dantzler, 21, and Sandy Geddis Barnwell, 22, of the Summerville area were shot and killed near Myrtle Beach's Bermuda Sands Motel. Police investigators have said the shootings might have stemmed from gang activity, but they have made no arrests in the case to date.
"I see value in Atlantic Beach. I see opportunity in Atlantic Beach," the governor said. "But instead of talking about the people of Atlantic Beach and the pride that is associated with Atlantic Beach, we're on the front page of USA Today" with a story about the violence.
Haley proposed that the town and state work together to showcase the history of Atlantic Beach, known as the Black Pearl. During the days of segregation, it was the only place on the Grand Strand where blacks could go to the beach.
She said the town could be redeveloped re-creating the era when the beach community was thriving and "we had Ferris wheels, restaurants and hotels."
"I would like to work with you along with my director of tourism to find a way to make sure this is a vacation spot that people from all over the country will want to see. In order for me to help you do that, I need your help," the governor said.
The $60,000 or so the town makes on Bikefest fees is a big chunk of its $500,000 annual budget.
But, Haley said, "I promise you that you will get the same amount of revenue. I promise you that you will have as many people."
Town council members had no questions after the governor's brief comments. Evans said the council would consider Haley's suggestions.
Haley pressed as to when there could be another meeting and Evans said he would get back to her within a month or so.

Atlantic Beach, S.C., Mayor Jake Evans listens to a question while meeting with reporters in Atlantic Beach, S.C., on Tuesday. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley had just urged town council to work with her to end the Atlantic Beach Bikefest following violence in the Myrtle Beach area last Memorial Day weekend. She said the state is willing to work to help redevelop the community to make it a family-friendly tourist destination. Evans said the town is willing to listen to suggestions but said the town council wants to keep the Bikefest.×

History Professor Charles Gunnoe, Ph.D., Began New Post July 1
July 7, 2008 - Grand Rapids, Michigan (July 7, 2008) - Aquinas College's new provost and dean of faculty has officially taken office. Charles "Chad" Gunnoe Jr., assumed his new role as provost on July 1.President C. Edward Balog, Ph. D. announced the appointment of Gunnoe in April 2008. "I believe that Chad is qualified, knows the College, and has significant support amongst the faculty, staff and students, as well as the unanimous support of the Cabinet," said President Balog. Gunnoe began teaching at Aquinas in August 1999 and has served as chair of the history department for the past six years. A native of Virginia, he earned his doctorate from the University of Virginia in 1998 after completing preliminary undergraduate and graduate work at the College of William and Mary and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 1986 and 1990, respectively. His primary interest is in European history, and he is a collaborator and editor of several publications on the subject. He is currently working on his third book, this one about Thomas Erastus and the Reformation of the Electoral Palatinate. Gunnoe was recently involved in setting up the new Catholic Studies minor at Aquinas with Assistant Professor of History John Pinheiro, Ph.D.Gunnoe is actively involved in several areas of the College. He co-chairs Aquinas' Retention Initiative that was launched last year. Gunnoe commenced official duties as provost and dean of faculty on July 1. He replaces Don Chaffee, Ph.D. who has served as interim provost since July 2007 when C. Edward Balog began his new duties as the College's sixth president. "I think there's a dynamism at Aquinas right now," Gunnoe said. "I like everything about the College. I enjoy the intellectual challenge but also love the stimulation of the social life, so to have a job in this capacity is an ideal situation."

By Minnie JonesSpecial to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 20, 2009 When it comes to cooking, Army Sgt. Edmund Perez knows how to prepare a healthy, affordable meal in about 30 minutes.
Perez, a native of San Antonio, is assigned to Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison here, as the operations noncommissioned officer. And as a professional chef, he brings his cooking talents to a new TV cooking series, "Microwave 101," on The Pentagon Channel.
The show teaches soldiers how to save money and eat healthy, even when that means using a microwave in their barracks to cook meals.
Drawing from his own soldier experiences, Perez creates meals that are good, healthy, affordable and, his fans say, are unbelievably mouth-watering, considering they come from a microwave.
Equally important in his show, Perez tries to get young soldiers to save money. "I want soldiers to quit going to the Macaroni Grill to eat and invest in a [bank account] instead," he said.
Perez's cooking segments range from the quick and easy, like his two-minute breakfast taco, to complete meals like meatballs in sweet chili sauce, chicken with pineapple salsa, and chicken parmesan with glazed carrots and rice. Most of his meals include desserts, such as his molten chocolate cake.
Perez's passion for cooking came at an early age, and he credits his mother for sparking his interest. "I think growing up and watching my mom decorate cakes and staying up late with her to help, intrigued me," he said. "It set a challenge in front of me, the need to be challenged.
"Every time you cook, bake or decorate, it's different. You can be making the same dish repeatedly and it will still be different every time. I think that's why I like cooking. It's a new experience every time."
Perez's passion is molding cooks into chefs and preparing them for competition. He has competed in the All-Army Culinary Arts Team in 2005, 2007 and 2008; the competition only has seven slots a year, earning him the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team badge that he wears proudly.
"I love to train soldiers to compete and becoming skilled chefs," he said. "I like changing their thinking process of being just a cook, to begin taking pride in what they do and transforming them into loving what they do."
Throughout his career, Perez has helped 28 soldiers become certified chefs or higher through the American Culinary Federation. Four work at the Pentagon in various messes and one works for the Army chief of staff as his personal aide.
"There is nothing more rewarding than having a soldier, no matter the rank, come up to you and tell you, 'I have learned something from you,'" he said.
Perez also is popular with those he trains. "He is very thorough," Army Spc. Mary McKoy, Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison, said. "Instead of throwing something at you and telling you to execute, he actually shows you what to do, and how to do it."
When Perez is not taking care of daily business at the garrison, you can find him with the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program, where he serves as the president and program manager for the installation.
Perez, due to a compassionate move, no longer actively works in his military occupational specialty. He has begun to channel some of his motivation of molding cooks into chefs into molding Advanced Individual Training and Initial Entry Training trainees in the BOSS program, into more responsible soldiers.
"I try to have a high standard in everything I do," he said. "And I hold my soldiers to that same standard. Some of them hate it along the way, but in the end, they respect it, understand it and will use it in their own leadership style."

Product Description
Winner--Association of Educational Publishers 2010 Distinguished Achievement Award
Assertive Discipline®: Positive Behavior Management for Today s Classroom, Fourth Edition outlines a three-step approach for positive behavior management by creating a classroom discipline plan that includes: rules that students must follow at all times; positive support that students will receive consistently for following the rules; and corrective actions that the teacher will use consistently when students choose not to follow the rules. The book emphasizes the last two steps to help teachers provide nonjudgmental feedback to students in a way that recognizes their efforts but also corrects their actions. The book stresses the importance of building positive relationships with students, which is vital for their success. The new edition features a section on becoming a successful classroom manager (including developing a teacher voice to more effectively communicate to students) and setting high expectations for students in order to achieve better overall results. Also new to this edition is an updated section on teaching responsible behavior, including a chapter on teaching policies and procedures at the beginning of the schoolyear, a chapter on developing a responsible behavior curriculum, and an overview of the behavioral narration technique introduced in Classroom Management for Academic Success. Finally, the new edition features a special addendum that introduces the real-time coaching model (in which a coach sits in the classroom and actively cues the teacher with regard to repeating directions, providing feedback, or taking disciplinary action) and explains how to establish a schoolwide Assertive Discipline program.

Bonnie Ruberg is a freelance journalist based out of San Francisco. She specializes in tech, video games, and gender/sexuality, with an emphasis on culture. A regular speaker at alternative technology conferences, she has been publishing professionally for more than four years and sits on the steering committee of the Women in Games International. At the moment she writes primarily for The Economist, Forbes.com, PC World, and SF Weekly.
In the past Bonnie has worked for places like Wired, Macworld, and Joystiq, along with many, many other publications. She was the author of a weekly Village Voice column, Click Me, about the ins and outs of cybersex — as well as a column called The Clickable Clit, full of first-person accounts of her internet sex life. For a complete list of her work (there's a ton!) see the "my articles" section.
An unapologetic nerd in life as in work, Bonnie has an undergraduate degree in creative writing, literature, and gender/sexuality from Bard College. This fall she is starting a PhD program in comparative literature at UC Berkeley, where she'll be studying French, English, and of course all things sexy under legends like Judith Butler. Someday she aspires to be a passionate professor, a kick-ass fiction writer, and that journalist you admire with regular features in The New Yorker. She'd also like a unicorn, but she'd settle for a pony.
Bonnie started Heroine Sheik back in 2005 as a place to vent her thoughts on sex in video games outside of the reactionary blogosphere (fanboys FTW). These days it's both a personal and a theoretical site, a place where games and new media are always up for debate, where there's no such thing as over-analyzing, where Freud meets Facebook, where queer equals good, and where hate of any kind will not be tolerated. So there.

Ten Community Banks Join ICBA Bancard Total Card ManagementTM Agent Programs
May 21, 2004
ARLINGTON, VA. - Ten more banks have joined ICBA Bancard's Total Card Management program to offer customers an array of credit card products and reward features under their own brand. ICBA Bancard and TCM Bank, N.A. are pleased to announce that the following banks have recently become participants of one of Total Card Management's agent bank programs: Cygnet Private Bank of Ponte Verda Beach, Fla.; South Ottumwa Savings Bank of Ottumwa, Iowa; American Gateway Bank of Port Allen, La.; First State Bank of Saginaw, Mich.; Community Bank of Shell Knob of Shell Knob, Mo.; Kennett National Bank of Kennett, Mo.; The Guide Rock State Bank of Guide Rock, Neb.; Clover Community Bank of Clover, S.C.; River City Bank of Mechanisville, Va.; and Eagle Valley Bank of St. Croix Falls, Wis.
Total Card Management's programs are delivered through ICBA Bancard's wholly owned subsidiary, TCM Bank, N.A., which is headquartered in Tampa, Fla. ICBA Bancard is the payment services corporation of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), the only national banking trade association that exclusively serves community banks.
Total Card Management's programs include the 20/20 and Participation Plus Plan. 20/20 is designed for community banks that want to offer a credit card plan to further develop their customer relationships, without the staff expense and risk management associated with traditional credit card programs. With 20/20, Total Card Management assumes all credit risk and fraud losses. The program also has a competitive revenue structure that equals or exceeds the best payouts in the industry. Participation Plus, similarly helps community banks increase and protect their customer bases, by allowing banks to share in a portion of their card program's liability in exchange for increased earnings. ICBA Bancard and TCM Bank N.A. also purchase credit card portfolios from issuers that have decided to exit the credit card business. In these instances, the original issuer's name remains prominently on their customers' cards.
South Ottumwa Savings Bank has joined the Total Card Management 20/20 Plan. Bank president and CEO, Thomas M. Awtry, says that his bank has been serving its community since 1903 by offering customers quality service and competitive products. "Decisions are made here, funds are reinvested here, and the service that is provided here is just what you'd expect from a home town bank. Of the agent bank options our board considered, the consensus was that ICBA Bancard and TCM Bank's Total Card Management 20/20 program best fit with our 101 year tradition of offering our customers convenience, service, and benefits."
Total Card Management's newest participants have joined over 350 community banks that participate in one of ICBA Bancard and TCM Bank N.A.'s Agent programs, representing over 1150 banking offices nationwide.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has announced that his office has obtained a judgment against Completion Industrial Minerals, LLC, requiring it to pay $80,000 in forfeitures, court costs, and surcharges for violations of its Wisconsin air pollution control construction permit and Wisconsin's air pollution control laws at its Marshfield hydraulic fracturing sand processing facility.
According to the complaint, Completion failed to update its construction permit application to reflect changes that occurred during the construction process that were not specified or described in the plans and specifications approved under its construction permit. Furthermore, Completion continued to construct its facility after its construction permit expired. In addition, Completion failed to prepare and submit to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) a fugitive dust plan within 60 days of permit issuance and failed to keep daily records of precautions taken under the fugitive dust plan. Completion also failed to record the pressure drop across a fabric particulate matter filter, failed to install and operate a continuous emission monitor, and failed to prepare and submit to the DNR a malfunction prevention and abatement plan for its facility.
Wisconsin facilities that have the potential to emit elevated levels of particulate matter or other air contaminants may be required to obtain an air pollution control permit from the DNR. Air pollution control regulations and permits minimize emissions through requirements of control equipment, preventative maintenance, and abatement plans to reduce accidental releases. Uncontrolled air emissions can create a threat to both human health and the environment, including the potential to impact the heart and lungs of humans, or impact areas of natural habitat.
Most of Completion's violations occurred around the time its facility started operating. Completion cooperated with the DNR and addressed the violations soon after the violations were discovered. The modifications to the approved construction plans and the construction that was completed after the permit expired involved projects that reduced Completion's particulate matter emissions.
Assistant Attorney General Bradley J. Motl represented the State. The settlement was approved by Wood County Circuit Court Judge Nicholas J. Brazeau, Jr.
Copies of the Summons, Complaint, Judgment, and the Stipulation and Order for Judgment are available here.
