impaired driving is one of America's most-often-committed and
deadliest crimes.
In 2008,
37,261 people nationwide were killed in motor vehicle traffic
crashes. Alcohol-impaired driving accounted for 32
percent of the motor vehicle traffic fatalities. [Source:
In 2008, of
the 13,846 alcohol-related fatalities, 53% or 7,378,
involved a hardcore offender. Hardcore offenders are persons
with a BAC of .15 or greater, or with a prior DWI arrest.

Between 1983
and 2007, more than 220,000 people died in crashes involving
hardcore drinking drivers. [Source:

hardcore drinking drivers were involved in a minimum of 9,414
alcohol-related fatalities, the estimated cost of which was
over $9.1 billion. [Source: NTSB]
Repeat DWI
offenders are over represented in fatal crashes, and have a
greater relative risk to kill another person. [Source: NHTSA and
During an
average weekend night, about 1 percent of drivers have BACs of
.15 or greater and about two-thirds of fatally injured drinking
drivers have BACs of .15 or greater. [Source: NHTSA]
A driver with
a .08 BAC in a fatal crash is 8 times more likely to have a
prior DWI conviction than a person with no alcohol present.

Drivers at .15
BAC and above are at least 20 times more likely to be involved
in a fatal crash than a non-drinking driver. [Source: NHTSA]
It is
estimated that half of all drivers arrested and half of those
convicted of DWI have BACs of .15 or greater. [Source: NHTSA]
impaired drivers are not impacted by the same general deterrence
methods, such as public awareness campaigns, or only traditional
sanctions such as incarceration.
impaired drivers meet the clinical diagnosis of alcohol
dependence and abuse.

text: L'Oreal Glistening Garnet Infallible Eyeshadow ($7.95 for 0.12 oz.) is a berry-tinted pink with a soft, frosted finish. When applied dry, it has a slightly more subdued, redder appearance–it's not quite opaque. When applied damp, it takes on a pinker hue and the frosted finish is more pronounced, and the color itself is opaque. At a glance, you'd think it was similar to MAC Cranberry, but it's not at all–Cranberry is much, much darker, more of a burgundy (so it has more brown in it than pink). MAC Moon Rose is pinker. Milani Pink Twice is pinker as well.Read Full Review

At 60ft (18.2 meters) the Cotehele garland - a tradition that was started in the 1950s and is created by using flowers picked and dried in the grounds of the Tudor mansion - is the longest at any Trust property in the country. Using flowers such as Ornamental Grasses, Everlasting Sand Flower, Straw Flower, Paper Daisy, Paper rose and Statice, the poor summer weather has meant that only 20,000 flowers have been picked this year rather than the usual 30,000.

|Goudelock Selected By Lakers
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 24 June 2011 07:11
Andrew Goudelock, the all-time leading scorer at the College of Charleston and one of the most prolific scorers in college basketball, will take his talents to the National Basketball Association next season.Goudelock was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 46th pick in the second round of the NBA draft Thursday night. Goudelock, the Southern Conference Male Athlete of the Year, is the first player from CofC to win that award. He was named 2011 SoCon Men's Basketball Player of the Year and earned All-America honorable mention honors from The Associated Press.
Goudelock led the Cougars to a 26-11 overall record under SoCon Coach of the Year Bobby Cremins, a regular-season championship title with a 14-4 league mark and an appearance in the NIT Quarterfinals. He averaged a conference-leading 23.7 points per game which also ranked fourth nationally among NCAA Division I scoring leaders.
He finished his career as CofC's all-time leading scorer with 2,571 points, which ranks third all-time in SoCon history. He also became just the 62nd player in NCAA history to record 2,500 points and ranks 39th on the NCAA's all-time scoring list. Goudelock is only the second all-time draft pick in school history. Anthony Johnson was taken with the 40th overall pick in the second round of the draft by the Sacramento Kings in 1997.
Goudelock becomes the 22nd player under the guidance of CofC head coach Bobby Cremins to be selected in the NBA draft. The others include, former Georgia Tech stars John Salley (1986), Mark Price (1986), Tom Hammonds (1989), Dennis Scott (1990), Kenny Anderson (1991), Jon Barry (1992), Travis Best (1994), Stephon Marbury (1996), Matt Harpring (1998), Dion Glover (1999) and Jason Collier (2000).
"Drew is a very unique and special player," said CofC coach Bobby Cremins. "He is a combo guard who is very athletic, can shoot from long range and can pass. He is very coachable and has matured a lot during this process. This is a very big night for Drew and his family (his parents, Marvin and Angela Austin, and his younger brothers, Marvin II and Tristen) and our program. I am really excited for him. The Lakers are a class organization."
Goudelock, the only player drafted from the SoCon, scored a school-record 39 points against Dayton in the opening round of the National Invitational Tournament, and he closed out his career with a 38-point effort in a season-ending loss to Wichita State.
Kyrie Irving of Duke was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first pick in the draft; Derrick Williams of Arizona went to the Minnesota TimberWolves with the second pick. The Blue Devils have three players chosen Thursday night.
Nolan Smith of the Blue Devils was taken by Portland with the 20th pick in the first round, and Kyle Singler of Duke was taken by Detroit with the 33rd selection in the second round. Iman Shumpert of Georgia Tech was taken by the New York Knicks with the 17th pick in the opening round. Jordan Williams of Maryland went to New Jersey (36th pick) in the second round.
The Charlotte Bobcats had three picks, two in the first round. They chose six-foot point guard Kemba Walker of Connecticut with the ninth pick in the first round; Charlotte then chose 6-8 strong forward Tobias Harris of Tennessee with the 19th pick in the first round; and they picked up Jeremy Tyler who played internationally for Tokyo Apache.

We spy with our little eyes a fall accessory essential...pendant necklaces! It doesn't matter if it's petite and dainty (Alexa Chung), a bold medallion (Celine Pre-Fall 11), or totally tasseled (Karolina Kurkova), these long necklaces are back in a big way and making quite a statement this season. The best part: a pendant can elevate almost any look, from casual weekend attire to fancy red carpet frocks, which is exactly why we're highlighting them in today's Accessory Report.
While it's safe to say that pendant necklaces never really went away, there are a few designers responsible for putting these statement pieces back on the map. For example, we are absolutely mad for the pendant Phoebe Philo presented in the Celine Pre-Fall 11 collection. The designer caught our attention when she paired a combo of plaid prints with a simple-yet-chic sterling silver disc pendant, which we're sad to report is already sold out! The necklace adds interest to the laidback, cozy separates, giving the overall look an understated cool.
In addition to our notable designer reference, we've also spotted a number of awe-inspiring pendant necklaces around the necks of some of our favorite stylish ladies. A few, like Alexa Chung and model Cara Delevingne, opted for smaller iterations, and the result was quite chic. Chung selected Chopard's gorgeous Platinum and Diamond Necklace with Pear-Shaped Brown-Yellow Diamond (price upon request, 800.CHOPARD) for the premiere of Sleeping Beauty at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, which she wore with a vintage white Balenciaga dress. We love how the diamond pendant echoes the elegant and refined nature of her red-carpet look. A few days earlier, at a Met Gala after-party, Delevingne accessorized with a similarly dainty pendant, though she opted for a lust-worthy Genevieve Jones design. We totally approve of Develigne's stunning Burberry Prorsum dress, especially since a plunging neckline is a foolproof way to keep your pendant necklace the focal point of your ensemble.
While we certainly adore petite versions of this jewelry trend, nothing beats the bold and dramatic look of oversized pendants as Lake Bell and Karolina Kurkova recently showed us. Bell impressed us at a party celebrating the NARS book Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself in New York back in May when she showed up wearing Lia Sophia's Global Tassel Necklace with Black Diamond Crystals and Moss Green & Tortoise Resin ($375), a smart jewelry choice that punched up her all-noir separates, including a Madewell top and Decades Denim jeans. We also approve of the H&M Circle Tassel Necklace ($25, select H&M stores) Kurkova wore to the Ischia Global Festival dinner in Italy last month. The tassel pendant is reminiscent of a dream catcher, which perfectly complements the earthy quality of her Shakuhachi Luxe Utility Cutoff Pocket Shirt ($80) in Camel and Rag & Bone Skinny Pants ($990) in Washed Brown Leather. Ashlee Simpson also opted for a large pendant necklace for her appearance at the launch party of Lia Sophia's Industrielle II collection in Hollywood late last month. The actress selected said jewelry brand's Beveled Necklace with Black Diamond Crystals and Paprika Red Enamel ($300) in Matte Silver and paired it with an equally standout leopard-print Mara Hoffman dress and red strappy platform heels for a truly stylish and attention-grabbing after-hours look.
Now, the official start of fall may not be for another month, but who says you can't start wearing pendants now? Certainly not us! Happily, there are loads of stunning necklaces available, and as always, we are more than delighted to share some of our favorites with you. If you're in the market for a luxurious option, we'd like to direct you to Dannijo's Court Necklace ($320) in Magenta, which is quite cool and feminine, thanks to its sleek look and mix of Swarovski elements. We also approve of BaubleBar's glamorous Bold Champagne Drop Necklace ($80) for a more budget-friendly alternative. Those seeking smaller pendants a la Chung and Delevingne should check out Milly's Single Pendant ($95) or LOFT's Mid Oval Pendant Necklace ($29.50), as both will give your ensembles a charming finish. Want something with a little more presence? We've got a few of those as well! House of Harlow 1960's Enamel & Crystal Sunburst Pendant Necklace ($135) and Avant et Apres' Vintage Gold Fringe Medallion ($100) are both striking statement pieces that can amp up a simple tee or a LBD, while ASOS' Extra Long Cherry Blossom Cameo Pendant ($14) has a lovely vintage vibe. Our final pick for today's accessory story is Need Supply Co.'s K/ller Collection Single Pendant ($85). We were immediately drawn to the edgy spirit of the brass crystal-shaped pendant and think it would look awesome worn with a few other necklaces for a visually interesting, layered look.--Jessica Baker

While there are loads of lovely accessories trends this fallÂ--pointy pumps, chunky-knit scarves, heather-gray polishÂ--if you're going to buy one accent piece, make it a leopard bag. It is, quite literally, the purr-fect piece for all of the season's best clothes, as it looks amazing paired with everything from ladylike silhouettes to grungier ensembles. Plus, we've already spotted some feline-influenced bags on stylesetters like Alexa Chung, so we know this print is primed to pounce!
Of all the best designer references out there, we highly suggest you look at Mulberry's F/W 10 show for incredibly illustrative examples of how to wear these bags in a chic way. The beloved British brand's Creative DirectorÂ--the charming Emma HillÂ--embraced her sign (yes, she's a Leo) and sent out an assortment of big-cat bags styled with gorgeous, slightly sixties ensembles. The iconic Bayswater Bag ($2650) hit the runway in both Camel Leopard and Natural Giant Leopard prints, while the darling new Alexa Bag ($1250) turned up in Dark Purple Loopy Leopard Suede and Plum Loopy Leopard Quilted Denim. Meanwhile, the duo at Dolce & Gabbana offered up animal-print bags as companions to bombshell dresses made from sheer polka dot chiffon. We love the way the designers put the print on denim for their Miss Sicily Leopard Print Satchel ($1275), though the dressier Miss New Sicily Handbag ($2150) is excellent as well.
Apart from the runways, we've also noticed three top trendsetters are already leopard-print loversÂ--when it comes to their bags, at least! The reliably cool Alexa Chung has been toting around this key accessory for ages now, always wearing it in her effortlessly attractive way. Snapped at the PlayStation 3 backstage karaoke party at Glastonbury in late June, Chung wore a Barbor jacket, Tabio stockings, and Vivienne Westwood strappy shoes with her Russell and Bromley chain strap leopard bag. Apparently leopard is the choice for the musically inclined; Zoe Kravitz also picked an animal-print bag for a show, specifically the Spin 25th anniversary celebration concert with Smashing Pumpkins. Kravitz sported her Alexander Wang Diego Bucket BagÂ--sadly sold-out in this exact printÂ--with a decidedly downtown vintage ensemble. Of course, the leopard handbag is an excellent choice for a sleek outfit too, as Kate Bosworth demonstrated at a Mulberry party in Los Angeles last month. The blonde fashion plate mixed Mulberry's Lily with Leopard Bag ($1595) in Natural Giant Leopard with a Fashion's Night Out t-shirt, Burberry's Bexton Stone Wash Jeans ($295), and a black patent pair of Stella McCartney Pumps ($675) for a sharply chic look.
If you're ready to wear these wonderful bags but looking for some additional options, your search is over, dear readers, as we've got animal-print pieces galore! Per last month's WWW: Hearts, 3.1 Phillip Lim has a pack of perfect styles available this fall. In addition to the Bowery Camera Bag ($650) we spotlighted, also check out Edie Bow Bag ($695) in Gray and the very simple Knap Sack Quilted Tote ($595). For those of you who are craving something with a shape similar to the Alexander Wang bag Kravitz is carrying, do check out Wendy Nichol's Leopard Bullet Bag ($600) for that bucket silhouette. You also might like Nichol's Leopard Satchel Bag ($595), which has a long strap and a cute flap shape. Last, but definitely not least, don't miss Topshop's Leopard Leather Shoulder Bag ($80)Â--affordable and adorableÂ--or Coach's many iterations, like the Madison Ocelot Print Maggie Bag ($298) and the Hamptons Ocelot Crossbody ($328), all terribly cute options!

Royals would deal Wil Myers for James Shields
The Royals are pursuing a variety of starting pitchers via free agency, including Anibal Sanchez, reports Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
Dec. 5, 10:20 pm: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the Royals may be at a critical stage in deciding whether or not to trade top hitting prospect Wil Myers for a starting pitcher, "such as the Rays RHP James Shields."
The Royals won't hesitate to deal Myers for Shields, according to Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star.
Yesterday, Jayson Stark of ESPN said he spoke with an MLB executive who predicted the Royals will ultimately move top prospect Myers to dramatically improve their starting pitching.
In regards to a possible trade with the Mets involving R.A. Dickey, talks are 'dead,' if the Mets want Myers, Dutton reported.
Earlier today, the Royals and Rays were reportedly talking about a deal involving Myers and James Shields, but the Rays balked at Kansas City's offer.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Dec. 4: The way I understand it, the Royals will consider trading Myers to the Mets in a deal for Niese, but there is significant competition, specifically from Tampa. The Royals want a front-line starting pitcher, because they believe they can make a run this season. They're ready and willing to pull the trigger on a deal with Myers, but (like Dutton said) talks stop if they're about a 38-year-old knuckleballer.

Tish Hinojosa's music crosses borders - between cultures, languages and musical genres. Moving with equal grace through folk, country, pop and latino styles, her music reflects contemporary America's multicultural richness.
In 1988, she was signed by A & M Records and finally achieved a national debut release. Homeland (1989), found her weaving all the threads of her artistic ethos into an intriguing tapestry that immediately put her on the international musical map. To date, she has released 15 albums, exploring a wide variety of styles. Her latest album, Our Little Planet, was released in 2008.
She has also performed by invitation at the White House and has gained the respect and admiration of many well-established musicians including Linda Ronstadt, who later recorded her own version of Tish's song "Donde voy". Other artists that Tish has recorded and worked with are Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, Nanci Griffith, Pete Seeger, Flaco Jimenez and Los Lobos.
What golden fields are to the countryside, so the Folka Dots are to music. The woven roots of two bluesy fellas and three folksy gals bear the sweet fruit of an old-timey era. It's a soulful sound for all ears. Bass, guitars, fiddle and tambourine sustain lyrical harmonies the way winding winds carry over pastoral hills. The Folka Dots roam freely along the rambling roads of years past.
Running down the same roads as The Band, Hank Williams, and Gram Parsons before them, the Trappers play a gritty brand of rock-n-roll that emphasizes the roll over the rock, all with a generous shot of woodsy country. But where those luminaries pointed South, the Trappers face West. On their self-titled debut, the band draws inspiration from a wide range of sources: "Cut Loose," a bleary saloon stomp, rests by the plaintive country of "Waterloo"; "Oh Leroy" is a full throttle blues rave up, while "Solid Ground" casts about a bit more quietly; and "Bloodshot Bill," showcases the band at its Stonesy best. Fronted by Dan Buehner-an original member of Salt Lake City's alt-country pioneers The Trigger Locks-the Trappers bring their goods down from the mountains.
This New Mexico recording artist, began his musical career at the age of 15, alongside his sister Taralynn Martinez, in their band "AJ Martinez Y Sabor".
The band had great success in booking several shows in the NM Area. It was at one of these performances that the sound of AJ's incredible guitar playing skills caught the ear of New Mexic legend and king of New Mexico music, Al Hurricane. Al invited AJ to join the band, where he became Al's protégé, and went on recorded and perform with the Al Hurricane Band for nine years. With this success, AJ Martinez has had the opportunity to record, perform, and open up for several Local & National groups such as Los Tigres Del Norte, Sparx, Tiny Morrie, and Lorenzo Antonio. He recently received a coveted award from 15 Grandes de Nuevo Mexico for the remake and release of Mosquito Junction. AJ also received an award for Instrumental of the year at the NMHMA Awards. He released his first CD "Un Nuevo Sonido" in 2006 featuring the hit single "Polka Lorena" a song he wrote for his daughter Lorena. He is currently working on a second CD.
Old Californio are old friends (from Pasadena, CA) who have been playing music together in one form or another since before the band's actual formation in 2006. This extended history lends a musical cohesiveness, allowing the ten songs on their recently released CD, Sundrunk Angels, to expand and contract organically. Songwriter Rich Dembowski's lyric's emotional directness suspends in time, loyal to an era of solitude, dangerous travel, risk, and gangrene.
The guitar interplay between Dembowski and Aplanalp channel American Beauty acousticism, Moby Grape rawness, and even moments of Loose Fur punk rock avant-garde. While the rumbling, heavy planetary rhythm section of bassist Chesney and drummer Smith-along with Nuñez's roiling B3-underscore three and four part vocal harmonies.

HUDSONVILLE (WZZM) - Tag Away is supposed to be the natural, easy, and painless way to remove those unsightly skin tags without having to freeze or cut them off in a doctor's office.
Jennifer Pikaart had a few skin tags under her arm she wanted to remove and agreed to test Tag Away out for us. The directions say to apply the liquid with a cotton swab three times a day and it could take between three and eight weeks for the skin tag to dry and flake off.
After eight weeks, Jennifer saw absolutely no change in her skin tags. They looked the same as when she started. She was very disappointed.
The two bottles you get with the initial online purchase cost almost $30 when you include the shipping and handling charges. But to get Jennifer to eight weeks, we had to order more Tag Away, costing more money.
Tag Away did not work for Jennifer, it's costly, has a pungent smell, and takes a long time to see if you get results.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- In honor of Veteran's day a Bangor church is helping to keep those who served our country warm this season. The River City Wesleyan Church in Bangor presented a blanket to each of the 150 residents at Bangor's Veteran's Home.
John Butts with the church came up with the idea, "It kind of brings a tear to my eye, to be able to do for the veterans and also appreciate what they've done for us."
The veterans were grateful for the surprise and appreciation.
Army Veteran, Louis Treworgy, gladly accepted the blanket and shared stories with a church member, "It's nice because it was getting a little lonely here...After a while a hobby gets boring, it's nice talking to people. "
For Treworgy, the attention to veterans, like himself, is necessary.
"They are human like anybody else. They've suffered and they need friends and they need people to notice them," added thTreworgy.
The congregation raised nearly three-thousand dollars to fulfill the blanket order. Every member, however, agreed the reaction from the veterans and a chance to thank them for their service made it all worth it.

Diminished Capacity
How much is a good memory worth? That's the question that faces newspaper editor Cooper after a debilitating concussion takes him from the political pages to comic strip detail. Looking for answers, he travels home to Missouri where his now senile Uncle Rollie is on the verge of losing his home. When a valuable baseball card is thrown into the mix, these two men along with a motley group of hometown friends, including Cooper's high school sweetheart, Charlotte, head to a memorabilia expo to make the deal of a century. They dive headfirst into a snake pit of slick salesmen, crooked dealers and rabid fans only to discover that there are some things in life that you can't put a price on.

|Charles Vidor
|Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready
|Run Time
|More Info
This screening is part of our November celebration of Tough Ladies in Cinema!
Rita Hayworth's Gilda is the most fascinating of classic Hollywood's femme fatales. In the film she is the ultimate bad girl, drawing men into her web with the promise of sex and the reality of death. Hayworth gives the role of the jaded temptress everything she's got and in the process creates her own legend. It's a masterpiece of film noir and one of the most racy and sordid movies of its time.
Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford) is a hardbitten American expatriate using loaded dice at a Buenos Aires casino. He gets jumped in an alley out back after the game and is about to be cleaned out when he's saved by Ballin Mundson (George Macready), owner of the casino, and given a job as Mundson's right hand man so he can repay his debts. The two quickly develop a close relationship, with a surprising gay subtext given the fact this movie was made in 1940's Hollywood under the repressive Production Code.
It isn't until Mundson returns from a business trip with a sexy young bride that things go to hell. What Mundson doesn't know is that Johnny and his new bride Gilda were once lovers and things betweem them are still heated. Johnny acts like he hates her, but that's just the way you harbor your secret love in a movie like this. And Mundson is not only the possessive type, he's a powerful tyrant who also happens to be in league with some Nazis.
The biggest pleasure of the movie comes from watching Gilda's manipulation of both of these men who view her as a sex object. The most famous sequence in the movie is a timeless musical number where Hayworth vamps her way through a knockout nightclub performance of 'Put the Blame on Mame' in a slinky black strapless dress. The clip is pretty iconic on its own, but when you see it in its full context it becomes even more compelling (and problematic). Gilda is getting revenge against her men by turning herself into an erotic spectacle. It's a gesture of defiance built out of her own vulnerability. She gets her kicks by taunting Johnny and acting like a loose woman by running after other men, but she only does it because she loves him so much!
What with its setting in an exotic nightclub and a crooked casino, its plot about the sudden reappearance of a beautiful woman from the leading man's past, and its inclusion of a Nazi menace, it's easy to compare GILDA to CASABLANCA, but this movie is like the twisted evil twin to the Bogart and Bergman classic. Loaded with escalating erotic tension and intense undercurrents of repression and hostility, GILDA's shadowy corners are so much deeper and darker than CASABLANCA's. Secrets fester and itch and an irrational streak of unbridled hysteria runs through the whole thing. And it's all radiation out through Rita Hayworth's breathtaking performance.
Her style and mannerisms have been copied so many times that's easy to forget it all began with her. No one looked or acted this way on screen before Hayworth. There's her famous introductory shot where she pops up into the frame, throws her hair back and purrs "Hello boys". There's the parade of astonishing gowns and glamorous fashions that she wears. There's her brilliant, undyed red hair that's always lit from behind to make it really shine. There's the way she uses that hair as a central tool of her performance, using it to project a whole range of feeling. There's the breathy voice and batted eyelids that communicate everything the script isn't allowed to. And there's the iconic poster with the tagline that sums it all up. "There NEVER was a woman like Gilda".

Quality of Research
Cardiff School of History & Archaeology
Research Assessment Exercise (2008)
The Cardiff School of History & Archaeology made 2 submissions to the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 as listed below. Follow each link for full details of the Research Assessment Exercise outcomes of each individual unit of assessment.
Research Profile
The School of History and Archaeology undertakes leading research spanning Ancient History, Archaeology and Conservation, and contemporary History.
While the School has a particular interest in Wales, the geographic sweep of its historical interests is broad, including Britain, Europe and Asia. The approaches adopted are equally broad, taking in religious and military history, social relations, political economy, the ideologies of left and right, gender and medical history.
The principal areas of archaeological research are Britain, Europe, Greece and the eastern Mediterranean including the Levant and Egypt, stretching from the Neolithic era to the end of the Middle Ages. Researchers look at settlement, economy, material culture, sociality and change. Their approaches include detailed studies of individual sites and broad syntheses, and methods range from field survey and excavation to laboratory analysis.
The School of History and Archaeology has an international reputation for the high standard of its historical research.
The School offers a dynamic, challenging and supportive environment in which to undertake postgraduate research, offering PhD supervision across all its specialist subject areas. The breadth of expertise within the School provides enormous supervision potential for stimulating interdisciplinary research across traditional subject boundaries. Postgraduate researchers are closely integrated into the School's research community and participate in a rich programme of seminars, workshops and conferences. The School has attracted funding from a number of sources including UK Research Councils, the Wellcome Trust, Leverhulme Trust, English Heritage, Historic Scotland, the Welsh Assembly Government and the British Academy. A number of postgraduate studentships are offered each year on a competitive basis.
The School has made major investment in digital and electronic primary and secondary historical resources. Significant research collections include the unrivalled Salisbury Collection on Welsh history and literature, early modern books, maps and ballads and reports from wartime Radio Free Europe.
Considerable investment means that research in the School benefits from high quality scientific facilities and equipment, and photographic/visual data handling facilities. The School has a comprehensive range of research equipment for archaeological materials and conservation science. These include a variable pressure scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive and wavelength-dispersive X-ray analysers. A climatic chamber with controlled humidity and temperature allows the investigation of the deterioration of artifacts under a range of conditions. Collaborative programmes with colleagues within the University and in the National Museum of Wales allow access to state-of-the-art plasma spectrometry with laser sampling and X-ray diffraction analysis. There is a range of laboratory equipment for infra-red spectroscopy, microscopy and X-ray radiography. The School also has a dedicated digital photographic and digital graphics laboratory.

|23rd District Court Judge McLean Drowns
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 04 July 2013 06:22
District Court Judge Mitchell McLean of Wilkesboro was pronounced dead from drowning Wednesday afternoon at Sunset Beach, according to The Wilkes Journal Patriot.
According to the paper, McLean entered the ocean to try to help other people having trouble in the water due to a strong rip tide when he was overcome by the strong tide. McLean was taken to a nearby hospital. The Wilkes Sheriff Chris Shew said he was told that McLean was at the beach with his family.
A Brunswick Sheriff's Department spokesman said late Wednesday afternoon that two people drowned in the ocean at Sunset Beach that day. McLean served as district court judge for the 23rd Judicial District, which includes Wilkes, Ashe, Alleghany and Yadkin counties. He was unopposed when he ran for re-election to another four-year term in 2010.

Even the best microphone element, when mounted in a typical clamshell enclosure, will make your voice sound like you're talking from the bottom of a barrel. The Handi Mic, by contrast, has its element mounted in an open enclosure, seated on a rugged Sorbothane © shock mount, and the resulting audio is the clearest, cleanest, most articulate audio you'll ever experience. The low handling noise and exceptional cardioid pattern make the Handi Mic ideal for mobile or portable use.
Four models of the Handi Mic are available for Amateur Radio use. Each version is designed for a specific type of transmitter microphone audio input.

Really surprised me!
I have always thought Tivoli Radios with the analog tuners are the best there are for the money. I currently own 5 tivoli systems. I use the subwoofer with one of my model two systems and was overwhelmed with the quality of the total system. I plan to add a sub to the model two in my kitchen as well soon! Not too much bass, just fills out the sound nicely. I very much prefer this to ANY other system available. I can't recommend the addition of the Subwoofer enough. Outstanding.

16 U.S. Code § 1455 - Administrative grants
(a) Authorization; matching funds
The Secretary may make grants to any coastal state for the purpose of administering that State's management program, if the State matches any such grant according to the following ratios of Federal-to-State contributions for the applicable fiscal year:
(1) For those States for which programs were approved prior to November 5, 1990, 1 to 1 for any fiscal year.
(b) Grants to coastal states; requirements
The Secretary may make a grant to a coastal state under subsection (a) of this section only if the Secretary finds that the management program of the coastal state meets all applicable requirements of this chapter and has been approved in accordance with subsection (d) of this section.
(c) Allocation of grants to coastal states
Grants under this section shall be allocated to coastal states with approved programs based on rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary which shall take into account the extent and nature of the shoreline and area covered by the program, population of the area, and other relevant factors. The Secretary shall establish, after consulting with the coastal states, maximum and minimum grants for any fiscal year to promote equity between coastal states and effective coastal management.
(d) Mandatory adoption of State management program for coastal zone
Before approving a management program submitted by a coastal state, the Secretary shall find the following:
(1) The State has developed and adopted a management program for its coastal zone in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary, after notice, and with the opportunity of full participation by relevant Federal agencies, State agencies, local governments, regional organizations, port authorities, and other interested parties and individuals, public and private, which is adequate to carry out the purposes of this chapter and is consistent with the policy declared in section 1452 of this title.
(2) The management program includes each of the following required program elements:
(B) A definition of what shall constitute permissible land uses and water uses within the coastal zone which have a direct and significant impact on the coastal waters.
(D) An identification of the means by which the State proposes to exert control over the land uses and water uses referred to in subparagraph (B), including a list of relevant State constitutional provisions, laws, regulations, and judicial decisions.
(E) Broad guidelines on priorities of uses in particular areas, including specifically those uses of lowest priority.
(F) A description of the organizational structure proposed to implement such management program, including the responsibilities and interrelationships of local, areawide, State, regional, and interstate agencies in the management process.
(G) A definition of the term "beach" and a planning process for the protection of, and access to, public beaches and other public coastal areas of environmental, recreational, historical, esthetic, ecological, or cultural value.
(H) A planning process for energy facilities likely to be located in, or which may significantly affect, the coastal zone, including a process for anticipating the management of the impacts resulting from such facilities.
(3) The State has—
(A) coordinated its program with local, areawide, and interstate plans applicable to areas within the coastal zone—
(i) existing on January 1 of the year in which the State's management program is submitted to the Secretary; and
(B) established an effective mechanism for continuing consultation and coordination between the management agency designated pursuant to paragraph (6) and with local governments, interstate agencies, regional agencies, and areawide agencies within the coastal zone to assure the full participation of those local governments and agencies in carrying out the purposes of this chapter; except that the Secretary shall not find any mechanism to be effective for purposes of this subparagraph unless it requires that—
(i) the management agency, before implementing any management program decision which would conflict with any local zoning ordinance, decision, or other action, shall send a notice of the management program decision to any local government whose zoning authority is affected;
(ii) within the 30-day period commencing on the date of receipt of that notice, the local government may submit to the management agency written comments on the management program decision, and any recommendation for alternatives; and
(iii) the management agency, if any comments are submitted to it within the 30-day period by any local government—
(5) The management program and any changes thereto have been reviewed and approved by the Governor of the State.
(6) The Governor of the State has designated a single State agency to receive and administer grants for implementing the management program.
(8) The management program provides for adequate consideration of the national interest involved in planning for, and managing the coastal zone, including the siting of facilities such as energy facilities which are of greater than local significance. In the case of energy facilities, the Secretary shall find that the State has given consideration to any applicable national or interstate energy plan or program.
(9) The management program includes procedures whereby specific areas may be designated for the purpose of preserving or restoring them for their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, or esthetic values.
(10) The State, acting through its chosen agency or agencies (including local governments, areawide agencies, regional agencies, or interstate agencies) has authority for the management of the coastal zone in accordance with the management program. Such authority shall include power—
(A) to administer land use and water use regulations to control development [1] to ensure compliance with the management program, and to resolve conflicts among competing uses; and
(11) The management program provides for any one or a combination of the following general techniques for control of land uses and water uses within the coastal zone:
(A) State establishment of criteria and standards for local implementation, subject to administrative review and enforcement.
(C) State administrative review for consistency with the management program of all development plans, projects, or land and water use regulations, including exceptions and variances thereto, proposed by any State or local authority or private developer, with power to approve or disapprove after public notice and an opportunity for hearings.
(12) The management program contains a method of assuring that local land use and water use regulations within the coastal zone do not unreasonably restrict or exclude land uses and water uses of regional benefit.
(13) The management program provides for—
(A) the inventory and designation of areas that contain one or more coastal resources of national significance; and
(14) The management program provides for public participation in permitting processes, consistency determinations, and other similar decisions.
(15) The management program provides a mechanism to ensure that all State agencies will adhere to the program.
(16) The management program contains enforceable policies and mechanisms to implement the applicable requirements of the Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program of the State required by section 1455b of this title.
(e) Amendment or modification of State management program for coastal zone
A coastal state may amend or modify a management program which it has submitted and which has been approved by the Secretary under this section, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The State shall promptly notify the Secretary of any proposed amendment, modification, or other program change and submit it for the Secretary's approval. The Secretary may suspend all or part of any grant made under this section pending State submission of the proposed amendments, modification, or other program change.
(2) Within 30 days after the date the Secretary receives any proposed amendment, the Secretary shall notify the State whether the Secretary approves or disapproves the amendment, or whether the Secretary finds it is necessary to extend the review of the proposed amendment for a period not to exceed 120 days after the date the Secretary received the proposed amendment. The Secretary may extend this period only as necessary to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). If the Secretary does not notify the coastal state that the Secretary approves or disapproves the amendment within that period, then the amendment shall be conclusively presumed as approved.
(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), a coastal state may not implement any amendment, modification, or other change as part of its approved management program unless the amendment, modification, or other change is approved by the Secretary under this subsection.
(B) The Secretary, after determining on a preliminary basis, that an amendment, modification, or other change which has been submitted for approval under this subsection is likely to meet the program approval standards in this section, may permit the State to expend funds awarded under this section to begin implementing the proposed amendment, modification, or change. This preliminary approval shall not extend for more than 6 months and may not be renewed. A proposed amendment, modification, or change which has been given preliminary approval and is not finally approved under this paragraph shall not be considered an enforceable policy for purposes of section 1456 of this title.

According to the BBC, a recent survey carried out by parenting advice website Bounty.com found that nearly 50% of teachers in the UK thought they could predict the personalities of students before meeting them, just by looking at their names. Results from the poll suggest that teachers believe students with names like Alexander and Elizabeth are more likely to be smart, while students with names like Chelsea or Callum top the list for students predicted to behave poorly.
The idea that people associate names with certain personality traits is nothing new; across cultures many people give their children names that represent desirable qualities like strength, patience, or grace. In general, people with common and more desirable names are seen as more intelligent, healthy, and popular (Young, et al., 1993). Furthermore, name stereotypes are not limited to the classroom and are even found to impact voters' preference for political candidates, although (thankfully) the relationship between a candidate's name and receiving votes is no longer significant when would-be voters are presented with more information about the candidate (O'Sullivan et al., 2006).
One obvious reason for the link between personality and name is that perceptions of names act as a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, when a teacher assumes a student will perform well/poorly, that belief might influence the quality of teaching the student receives. However, the link between personality and names may be more complex than it appears. According to the name letter effect (NLE), just the first letter of your name can influence your preference for places, activities, and people. Furthermore, one study found that students with names starting with letters associated with poor performance (for example the lower mark of C's and D's in the American school system), actually performed worse than students with names starting with A or B (higher marks) (Nelson & Simmons, 2007). This, according to the researchers, is because students with C and D names have less aversion to the letters themselves. The theory is that we all have a subconscious preference for anything starting with the same first letter as our name. So, poor Callum may have it extra hard, having to overcome both his teacher's negative first-impression and his subconscious love for a low-achieving grade.

If he can return to the form that got him a (almost) perfect game he could be a decent addition. However, he finished the season horribly in AAA. We only signed him to a minor league contract reducing our risk.
I think he is more of an insurance signing, because I frankly don't think he is very good. But it's a signing that like you said, has low risk. Not a bad signing at all. If he provides any value then the signing is good.
I don't think he effects anything significantly

(MILITARY TIMES) --One former grunt is so tired of the status quo in Washington that there's only one man he wants to see in the White House, so he's writing in his vote for Gen. James Mattis.
Matthew Majors is the name under which the former corporal with 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, runs a Facebook page called "General James Mattis for President," which has more than 1,100 likes. He asked that his real last name not be printed to protect his privacy.
The former rifleman now works at an adolescent treatment center and said he motivates the kids there by sharing with them the lifelong values he learned in the Marine Corps.
Although he's been out for more than a decade, Majors said Mattis is the best general out there and that his attitude and persona need to spill over into Washington policy-making.
"It's time for the American people to bear down and get squared away," Majors said. "A lot of Americans don't understand the Marine Corps, what it teaches Marines and that it makes men. Gen. Mattis can give them a big dose of what has to happen."
What has to happen, he said, is that politicians stop lying and acting soft.
"I learned the hard way as a boot Marine that you got your behind whooped for lying," he said. "You don't lie. You admit mistakes - and the general has done that when he's reminded of some of the off-color comments he's made - but he doesn't make a habit of apologizing, either."
Majors said military experience should be a prerequisite for becoming president, and he's disappointed that both President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney lack it. The military builds character that isn't built in college or the workforce, he said.
Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command and known for his real talk and colorful quotes, has motivated this generation of Marines. Majors said seeing a general get out from behind the desk to lead from the front is exactly the type of leadership the entire country needs. And Majors sees the four-star as a president who would look at social issues, too, including education and entitlement programs.
"The general said an uneducated Marine is just as dangerous as the enemy," Majors said. "He'd invest in education because he knows educating Marines for combat is important. He'd reform certain entitlement programs and let people know if they want something in life, they're going to have to work for it."
If the "warrior monk" ran the executive branch, "I think liberals would crap their pants and Republicans would rejoice," Majors said. "I don't know if he's a Democrat or Republican, and that doesn't matter to me, because I'm an independent. But he would restore our nation's integrity."
Majors plans to take a photo of his ballot when he votes and post it on the page to motivate others to do the same. If enough do, Mattis would make history: No Marine has ever been elected president, according to the National Museum of American History. Yet.

City Council members informally agreed on Monday night to move forward with the planned renovations at the Watertown Municipal Arena after seeing how a Rochester engineering firm found ways to cut the projects cost to between $6.2 million and nearly $7 million.
The Watertown City Council learned Monday night that Stantec Consulting Services, a Rochester engineering firm, further reduced the price tag by $1.8 million by eliminating 8,000 square feet of space and some unneeded amenities at the ice rink at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
But Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. contended that more meetings should be scheduled to discuss finding additional ways to reduce costs, saying it would be time spent well worth it.
Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns responded, Ive been putting my time in for years, councilman, in contending that previous delays in putting off the long-awaited project probably cost the city money.
Mr. Butler argued that the city should develop a Plan B in case bids come back too high, suggesting a planned second floor as an alternative bid. He expressed concern that the city will soon have to spend an additional $1.5 million for City Hall renovations caused by the appointment of a second full-time City Court judge, and that the city also faces potential decreases in sales tax revenue.
The timing is awful, he said.
But Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and council members Teresa R. Macaluso and Stephen A. Jennings also agreed that the city should move forward with the project.
You want to do it or you dont want to do it, Mr. Graham said.
Last week, Ms. Macaluso, Mr. Jennings and Mr. Butler traveled to Potsdam to tour SUNY Potsdams newly renovated $8.7 million ice arena to get ideas for what should be included in Watertowns project.
In December, Stantec proposed three options ranging from $9.7 million to $11.1 million. In the ensuing weeks, city staff and Stantec found ways to reduce the cost to about $7.8 million.
As it now stands, the project would include a new entrance and lobby on the buildings west side, a main locker room and a hospitality room, more office space, a new concession area and a combined training-break locker room. The ice rinks roof would be replaced.
Plans also call for a second floor to accommodate collapsible bleachers with an entrance from above, rather than at rink level.
By having the public enter from above, the design would create separate entrances for hockey teams and fans. However, it has not been decided whether team boxes would remain on the same side as the bleachers, as is the case now. Stantec officials have recommended putting them on the opposite side, so fans get a better view of the hockey games.
On Monday night, council members agreed to spend $600,000 for a new concrete floor, $150,000 for new dasher boards and $80,000 for upgraded lighting. The $6.2 million to $7 million range depends on what materials are used for the facilitys facade, whether cement blocks or drywall is used for the interior and other factors such as the quality of the restroom facilities, architect Roger J. Kelemecz said.
To reduce costs, the consultants eliminated such amenities as a pro shop and combined a multi-purpose and party room.
City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk said council members will be asked probably next month to agree that Stantec complete final design work for the project. Bids would go out early next year for a spring 2015 construction start.
The ice rink is the home of the Watertown Privateers semi-professional hockey team and youth hockey games.
