We're looking for smart, friendly, community-oriented folks.
We have a real advantage over the big banks in our markets. We know what consumers want (don't tell the big banks—it's personal, friendly service from a bank that is locally run!). As community bankers, we care most about our customers, and it shows. Big banks only seem to care about their profitability, and it shows, with more fees and less personal service.
These are our six guiding principles of community banking. We wrote these down to assure that all of our present and future directors, management, and staff remember who we are and how we operate.
We will provide families, individuals and businesses of our community with a modern, full-service bank that's unique because it's run by local people who are meeting the area's need for friendly, neighborly, well-run community banking.
Every customer will be treated as an important depositor, a shareholder and a good neighbor. They must receive the best customer service around, bar none.
Our product is service. We help our customers save, spend, borrow and invest their money safely and wisely. If we are to be successful at community banking, we must put the welfare of our customers first. It's as simple as that.
Our banks cannot take money from their communities without giving something back. We must be good citizens of our villages and encourage all of our employees to become involved with local events and organizations. And we must endeavor to hire employees, contract for services and buy products from our communities.
We must work hard to attract the brightest and nicest employees possible and let them know how critical they are to our success. The best way to attract the kind of employees we want is to offer good pay, job security, generous benefits, advancement potential, a pleasant working environment and the opportunity to be part of the team. We encourage our employees to purchase stock so that they can become owners of the bank and share in the profits they help generate.
Our stockholders are extremely important. Most of them are also customers. They have invested their trust and their beliefs, as well as their money, into the idea and future of community banks. The management, directors and staff should always work to justify that investment.

What is blood pressure? How is it measured?
Blood pressure is the pressure of your blood against the walls of your arteries. A blood pressure reading is taken with a cuff wrapped around the arm, which is infl ated, while monitoring a gauge to determine the reading. According to Dr. Senthil Sundaram, a cardiologist with WakeMed Heart & Vascular Physicians, make sure you're well rested and haven't had anything to eat or drink before you measure your blood pressure.
"The circumstances under which blood pressure is measured are as important as the numbers themselves," said Dr. Sundaram. "A variety of factors can affect the reading."
Blood pressure consists of two numbers. According to Dr. Sundaram, the systolic number, which appears on top of the result, denotes the peak pressure as the heart beats. The diastolic number, the bottom number in a blood pressure result, measures the pressure when your heart is resting between beats.
What is normal blood pressure and what is high blood pressure?
While Dr. Sundaram notes that blood pressure can vary over the course of a day, the typical average for a normal blood pressure is less than 120/80. Between 120 and 139 systolic and 80 to 89 diastolic is considered pre-hypertension. A blood pressure between 140 to 159 systolic and 90 to 99 diastolic is considered stage 1 hypertension. Anything higher than 160/100 is considered stage 2 hypertension.
Of course, chronic high blood pressure cannot be diagnosed with a single sampling, noted Dr. Sundaram. "One of the rules of thumb is to measure the blood pressure on at least two different occasions before diagnosing high blood pressure," said Dr. Sundaram. "A diagnosis would be based on the average of at least two different readings."
What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?
Generally, said Dr. Sundaram, people with high blood pressure have no symptoms. As blood pressure increases and stays high for extended periods of time, patients can experience headaches, dizziness or rarely, organ damage.
What are the risks of high blood pressure?
Increased pressure on the walls of your arteries can damage those arteries, sometimes weakening them to the point of causing an aneurysm. Dr. Sundaram also noted that high blood pressure can damage your heart by contributing to coronary artery disease and heart failure and can also lead to stroke or kidney damage.
How is high blood pressure treated?
For pre-hypertension, Dr. Sundaram said there is generally no reason for drug treatment; instead, it's important for patients to make lifestyle changes that can help reduce blood pressure. Dr. Sundaram suggests losing weight if necessary, reducing fat and sodium in the diet, exercising daily, limiting alcohol intake and not smoking. For those patients who have hypertension, it's important to use a combination of the same lifestyle changes along with medication to bring blood pressure down to normal levels.

The Aluminum Free Baking Soda is a great product! A half teaspoon, 1 to 4 times a day in a glass of water or with fresh apple juice makes your body alkaline. If you have health issues up to 2 teaspoons/day is recommended. Can´t be without it!! M *

Change your PH value, change your life. Use small amounts as a face and body scrub: no more acne or rashes; use very small amount as tooth powder. Use 1/2 teaspoon to make a shampoo rinse. No more gunk in hair or scalp acne. I used to "burn" through leather watch bands regularly; obviously my skin was too acidic. I can hardly wait to see, now that I drink 1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicabonate in water every other day, what change there will be in my skin's acidity from now on. I've also ordered litmus paper from iHerb to test my acidity or alkalinity. Best wishes on your experiment, Ernest in NYC

It's Easier for Families to Make Money Than it is to Keep it
Many families earn money through businesses and even get rich – but it generally doesn't last. Only a third of family businesses survive being transferred from one generation to another: less than 10 percent survive a second generational transition.
By contrast, a new report by Saybrook University faculty member Dennis Jaffe indicates that the most successful multi-generational families in the world also follow best practices on wealth management, the maintenance of personal relationships, and the development of a next-generation of leaders.
The study, authored with Jane Flanagan of the Family Office Exchange, was sponsored by the Family Office Exchange and the Family Business Network.
The study looked at some of the wealthiest families in the world – 87 percent of families survived had over $50 million and 23 percent had over $1 billion – and included families from North and South America, Europe, and Asia. But the findings are useful to any family that wants to retain wealth, said Dr. Jaffe.
"It's not just about financial safety," Dr. Jaffe said. "Families have to focus on, and be conscious of, the way they communicate, how they connect, and whether they're building trust and teamwork."
In all, Jaffe's report found three ways to accomplish this:
First, "Nurture the Family." This includes shared philanthropic activities, ensuring regular and extended family gatherings, and creating a climate of openness and trust while also respecting the family's legacy.
Second, "Steward the family enterprises." If a family still owns a business together, make sure it has a strategic plan for growth; an active, diverse, and empowered board; and transparent decision making.
Third, "Cultivate human capital for the next generation." The next generation needs a to be educated about finances and understand the values that the family shares. Expectations about employment and goals should be clear.
Jaffe, who teaches in Saybrook University's Organizational Systems program – focusing on the human element to change management and systems theory – is one of the world's leading experts in family wealth.
The author of 3 books on families and wealth, including "Stewardship of Your Family Enterprise," Dr. Jaffe served as the Deputy Director of Research for the MacArthur Foundation Network on Healthy Companies. He's also served as the Adelaide Thinker in Residence for the government of Australia, and helped that country develop a climate of support for small and family businesses.

HEUVELTON – On June 12 the village will consider adopting new tobacco sale regulations that could be the most progressive in the state.
Thanks to the activism of students in the Heuvelton Leos Club, the village Board of Trustees is specifically looking at whether to require businesses get a license to sell tobacco within the village, in addition to a state tobacco license, and if they should allow only one or two vendors at a time.
Its really a thought-provoking issue and its something that we really want to look at very seriously, Mayor Barbara A. Lashua said.
Currently only Stewarts sells tobacco in the village, and the Leos Club has proposed allowing the store to continue sales while restricting future vendors – possibly allowing only one more to set up shop.
Theyre concerned about turning away future businesses, Reality Check Coordinator Melanie E. Flack said of the Leos Clubs position.
At the May 8 trustees meeting, members of the Leos Club asked for the issue to be considered, and Reality Check provided village trustees with information about the benefits of limiting smoking.
Ms. Flack said she thinks think its great that [the trustees are] taking the month to paw through all the information before making a decision.
Mrs. Lashua said she isnt sure which way the trustees are leaning. Ive asked all the board members to read up on all the information, she said.
If Heuvelton were to take the step of limiting the sale of tobacco products by strictly controlling the number of vendor licenses given out, the village could be in a position of state leadership.
If they do it, that would be huge, Leos Club Advisor Nancy J. Lafaver said, calling such a decision trend-setting.
Mrs. Lashua said, Its certainly an important decision and were all looking at it very carefully and considering long term effects on our village.
She said trustees are weighing business and health concerns and the impact of tobacco advertising on children while thinking about any future regulations.
Ms. Flack said she hopes the village will restrict tobacco sales, and the Leos Club is hopeful too.
After the May meeting, Leos Club members wrote letters to the trustees thanking them for their consideration and telling them about the negative impact tobacco products have had in their lives.
Sometimes they just dont listen to kids, Mrs. Lafaver said, though she said she hopes the trustees will take action on this issue.

Significant savings for European taxpayers: Full e-procurement for all public purchases by 2016 Paskelbta: 20/04/2012, Paskutinį kartą atnaujinta: 04/07/2014
Increasing the use of e-procurement in Europe can generate significant savings for European taxpayers. Public entities that have already implemented e-procurement report savings of between 5% and 20% of their procurement expenditure.
The total size of the EU's procurement market is estimated to be more than 2 trillion euro, so each 5% saved could result in about 100 billion euro of savings per year – which is equivalent to building more than 150 large size hospitals. These savings would maximise the efficiency of public spending in the current context of fiscal constraints.
E-procurement can also participate in providing new sources of economic growth and jobs. E-procurement can significantly simplify the life of companies, especially SMEs, by increasing the transparency of and access to tender opportunities and by reducing the costs of participating in a tender (reduced mail costs, less printing, etc.). Experience in the EU and beyond shows that the use of e-procurement has increased the participation of SMEs in public procurement procedures.
Despite these undisputable benefits, the EU is lagging behind both its own targets and internationally. E-procurement is still used in only 5-10% of procurement procedures carried out across the EU despite ambitious political targets.
The Digital Agenda for Europe and the eGovernment Action Plan 2011– 2015 highlighted the importance of connecting e-procurement capacities across the Single Market. In the context of the modernisation of the European Public procurement Directives, adopted in December 2011, the Commission has proposed to make e-procurement the rule rather than the exception, by making it the standard method of procurement in the EU by mid-2016.
Today's Communication sets out a strategy to achieve this ambitious transition. It proposes a series of flanking measures meant to support all stakeholders, including SMEs, in completing the transition on time. These measures include:
- Supporting financially and technically the development of e-procurement infrastructure via EU programmes and funding
- Identifying and sharing best practice in the area of e-procurement
- Monitoring the level of take-up and the benefits of e-procurement
- Implementing a wide-ranging dissemination strategy to inform stakeholders about the opportunities and benefits offered by e-procurement.
The Communication also announces that the European Commission itself will move towards full e-procurement by mid-2015 – a full year ahead of the deadline for Member States – and that the Commission will make its e-procurement solutions available to Member States.

SANDY CREEK With three years of first- and second-place awards from state competitions under their belts, members of the Sandy Creek Central School show choir are singing all the way to Boston, Mass.
But before the 22-member choir, its director, Sandy J. Kinney, and chaperones take off for the March 28 to 30 event, theyre seeking the financial support of the community to help them reach their goal of placing high at a national competition.
Its a little intimidating going from a local competition to a national one, said Anita R. Glenister, a three-year member of the choir. You can talk to almost everyone in show choir and theyre psyched.
She said the choir has worked hard over the past 10 months to raise funds to travel to the Boston Heritage Music Festival. A spaghetti dinner, dinner theater, pizza fundraiser and Ponderosa fundraisers, among others, have helped cover the approximately $500-per-student cost of the trip. That amount includes the competition fee, hotel stay, transportation and some meals.
While students have put up some of their own money for the trip, the show choir also sponsored a craft fair and bake sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Sandy Creek United Methodist Church, 2301 Harwood Drive. Proceeds were totaled from admission donations, booth fees from the 29 vendors and the sale of baked goods and light lunch items.
While most vendors kept all profits, Melisa Nelson, owner of Treat Bites Dog Bakery, Sandy Creek, donated half of the proceeds from music-note-shaped dog treats to the choir.
Mrs. Kinney said all of the support the community has shown in the past year is what keeps the ninth- through 12th-grade students momentum going. She said she and choir members thank the community for helping to sponsor their trip to Boston.
We wouldnt be able to go without these fundraisers, she said. I felt like it was time to do something new; the students earned that.
Not every student can just sign up for show choir. They have to earn a spot after an audition process, said Mrs. Kinney, who also is the schools music teacher.
I look for someone whos willing to go above their comfort zone and kind of be one with the choir, she said. I see a lot of people come out of their shells. Even the most timid who do try out, I see they can grow from this.
In addition to the choir moving out of its comfort zone from performing at Darien Lake the past three years, the group is taking on another challenge: singing three a capella songs in Boston. Choreography will be implemented soon, said Miss Glenister, 16, a junior.
Songs the show choir will perform in Boston are Some Nights by fun., Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which was made popular in The Wizard of Oz, and Dynamite by Taio Cruz.
Gabriella C. Guarasce, 17, said she joined show choir in 2013 because she wanted to do something new in her senior year.
I love it, she said. I like giving it your all for something you practiced for so long.
To win the Boston Heritage Music Festival would be amazing, she said.
The community can see exactly where its donations have gone when the show choir performs its Boston lineup in June here. Until then, anyone who would like to help fund the choir trip can send donation inquiries to email@example.com.

Clippers 110, Chicago 98
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 02/01/07, 12:09am:
It's always dangerous to proclaim a performance like Shaun's as a "breakout game." I mean, how many times have we talked about Shaun's turning a corner? But something about tonight feels different because Shaun truly takes over the game when the Clippers desperately need a playmaker. Let's take a look at the final 3:33 -- in which the Bulls are essentially held scoreless[1] -- focusing primarily on Shaun's effort. In between a couple of Elton Brand free throws, Sam Cassell leaves the game after having turned the ball over in consecutive possessions. Q. Ross substitutes[2], leaving Shaun with the responsibility of running the offense:
- [3:33] After EB sinks the back end, Hinrich brings the ball up for Chicago, trailing the Clips by only two. He passes it off to Gordon out on the left wing, being guarded by Q, who immediately knocks the ball away. The balls skates away into the backcourt and both Q and Gordon scamper after it, both diving for it as it dribbles out of bounds. One of those hustle plays and it goes the Clippers' way.
- [3:20] After the sideline inbounds, Shaun gets it to Elton on the left side, then runs behind Elton to the left corner, then slides baseline. The play is blown dead when TT walks with the ball up top.
- [3:12] Hinrich doesn't waste much time in penetrating off a Malik Allen screen, which forces a switch - TT now taking Hinrich off the ball, with Shaun picking up Allen. Once Hinrich hits the paint he's got PJ Brown out on the left wing. PJ catches and dribbles in a couple of feet against Elton where he [Brown] likes to take that face-up jumper. The Bulls' spacing here isn't all that good, which allows Shaun to leave Allen and swat away Brown's shot. Shaun goes the other way with the break. Gordon stays with him the whole way, tying up Shaun as he goes up for the layup. The ball squirts away as Shaun tries to salvage the attempt with a reverse. Good instinct, better defense.
The Chicago portion of the sequence is an object lesson in spacing. Why is it so important? Because good spacing forces the defense to make tough decisions. There just isn't enough time to send help, because the ball moves much faster than a defender ever can. By the time the help defender arrives, the ball is long gone. When the spacing sucks and everyone is clogging the lane, all a defender has to do is take a single step or two to rotate. This is why PHX is impossible to defend.
- [2:59] Livingston is on the ball. He stays with Hinrich after Hinrich passes the rock off to Allen, who goes to PJ Brown in the post. EB is playing PJ straight up. Shaun hedges on the play as Hinrich moves over to the strong side. Shaun quickly recognizes that, even though he's in the neighborhood of the play, an EB-PJ matchup doesn't warrant a double-team. Brand ends up blocking Brown's shot. It bounces Hinrich's way, but all he can do is launch a desperation, fall-away 3FGA that draws air as the shot clock expires.
- [2:33] Shaun initiates the old give-and-go with Elton left side, up high. Hinrich stays with Shaun as Shaun receives the ball from EB, then heads for the basket. When Gordon meets Shaun underneath, Shaun fakes, catching Hinrich leaving his feet, jumping laterally in front of Shaun. So Shaun wiggles right, in the opposite direction of Hinrich's leap. He could've jumped into Hinrich to draw the foul, Cassell-style, but instead, Shaun waits for Hinrich to clear, leans in and banks it off the glass.
[Clippers 98, Chicago 94]
- [2:21] Hinrich, with Shaun on him, dishes it off to Gordon up top on the right wing. With Q already smothering Gordon, EB moves up to trap him. Brown, who was EB's man, comes to help Gordon on the trap. Gordon desperately lobs the ball to Brown, but it's tipped away, and Livingston is the first guy there. He pushes it coast-to-coast against Hinrich. As Shaun elevates, Hinrich grabs Livingston. A flagrant-1: Two & the Ball. Shaun hits both free throws. Ben Gordon leaves the game for Chris Duhon. For good.
Chicago fans could probably give me an explanation for this, as I'm sure not everyone outside of the Naçion totally understands the Maggette dynamic.
[Clippers 100, Chicago 94]
- [2:04] Off the inbounds, Maggette dumps it into EB in the post. He shoots over Allen.
[Clippers 102, Chicago 94]
- [2:00] Hinrich brings it up left side against Shaun. Hinrich tries a fancy cross-over move left, but Shaun stays in front of him. Hinrich's going nowhere, so he moves right behind a Deng screen, and now has a matchup against Maggette up top. Damn if Maggette -- who as I mentioned in post sometime last week, is playing a lot better defensively -- doesn't let Hinrich breathe at all, forcing a Hinrich pass to Malik Allen, who's got ehhhh position at the foul line against Thomas. TT contests the Allen jumper nicely and it's a brick. The rebound is tipped back to Maggette.
Fierce Team Defense.
- [1:41] Shaun is milking a little clock here, dribbling up top against Hinrich. What a stellar matchup that's been a blast to watch: Livingston v. Hinrich. Finally, with :11 to go on the shot clock, Shaun leaves it for EB way above the left elbow. Brand attempts a face-up over Allen, a shot he often drills, and this could pretty much ice it, but it's no good. Rebound Duhon. The Bulls call a 20-second timout.
- [1:22] This time, Hinrich's on the weak side and Chicago has Duhon running the set. It's a strong vote of confidence that Dunleavy follows suit and puts Livingston, again, on the ball -- this time against Duhon. Duhon inbounds to Allen, who gives it back immediately. Duhon, with the ball, charges directly for the paint, but Livingston stays in front of him the entire way, so Duhon is forced back out. Tonight is one of Livingston's best defensive efforts of the season. Duhon tries again; this time, Duhon is able to get a step on Shaun, but EB is there, waiting, and blocks it. The ball bounces against the wood right into Elton's hand.
- [1:13] Elton to Thomas, and Thomas seeing Q run the fly pattern behind the entire Chicago secondary, lobs a pass to Q about seven feet from the basket. Q drives, then lays it up and in.
[Clippers 104, Chicago 94]
- [1:05] Q picks up Hinrich in the frontcourt. PJ Brown gives Hinrich a pick, and EB inherits him momentarily on the switch up top, but Q recovers quickly. We're down to 1:00, so Hinrich performs a quick cross-over, launches a shot from 20-feet, no good. The rebound comes to TT, who is immediately fouled.
With 55.6 and a 10 point Clipper lead, that's basically it. Shaun Livingston is the fourth quarter story, going for 10 points on 3-4 from the field and 4-4 from the line, recording two steals and a blocked shot on a crucial possession. Beyond the stats, he stays in front of Hinrich down the stretch, forcing the Bulls to do stupid stuff like going to Brown and Allen late in possessions.
I want to mention a pivotal stretch late in the second half when the Clippers take advantage of a Brand-Sweetney matchup. As we know, Elton makes his living in the mid-post. But with a much larger, glacially slow Sweetney on him, EB does the smart thing - he starts much farther out on the wing. Rather than try to muscle Sweetney for his spot in the post, Elton uses his speed to drive around Sweets. From the moment Sweetney enters the game at [2:56, 2nd], Brand goes for 11 points on 4-4 from the field and 3-3 from the line. 11 points in 2:56.
[1] Hinrich gets a driving layup with the Bulls down 12 with 0:46 remaining.
[2] Gordon has just entered the game for Chicago. He finishes the game 5-5 from the field with five turnovers.

Hi Everyone!
My name's Christy and I'm a 30 somethingish new possible Staffordshire mix something or other Mom living in rainy Oregon.
I don't have any real history with APBT's or AST's but I have had Boxers for most of my life. I rescued Boo about a month ago by finding her on Petfinder, She was listed as a Boxer/English Bulldog mix and I had been looking for another dog to add to our family. The instant I saw her I was drawn to her... and then there was her story that pulled at my heartstrings saying she was dumped with her boyfriend and 3 approx 4 day old puppies at a high kill shelter in California. (She and all of them were transported up to WA through Saving Paws) Long story short I packed up my kiddos, hubby and our 6 year old boxer Cooper and drove 4 hours for a meet and greet which went amazingly and we came home with Boo. Now what brings me here is I don't think they were correct in her assessment of what she is... I don't care what she is myself and am pretty sure she's a bully mix of some sort and while walking her around my neighborhood, going to the pet store or even the local vet I'm getting definite discrimination towards people thinking she's a APBT (I hope I'm using that right). So I thought I might find a forum of people who deal with these same types of situations. Plus it has been a long time since I've done obedience classes or have had a teenager dog (Boo is approx 1 year old) and I love to read so here I am!
So far what I love about Boo is how much she loves to be around her people, how much she wants to please, her snuggly and goofy mannerisms. I can't wait to start obedience classes with her but am not able to until January due to not being able to find classes that start around the holiday season. I would eventually love to do agility with her.
Cooper is also an amazing dog whom I love to pieces. He passed his CGC test years ago. He loves riding on the boat or car and being lazy around the house.
Other interests I have are spending time with my kiddos, I have a 15 year old boy and a 4 year old boy (my only planned kids are my dogs ). I love to draw, fish, boat, camp, hike ride my motorcycle, read, bake, am addicted to tattoos and chocolate.
I look forward to being here and learning more
Boo and Zayden

POTSDAM An earthquake that started in Canada was felt across parts of Northern New York Friday morning.
SUNY Potsdam geology professor Frank A. Revetta said his equipment detected a magnitude 5.0 quake at 9:43 a.m., originating in what is known as the Western Quebec Seismic Zone northwest of Ottawa, Ont.
There were no immediate reports of damage in Northern New York, but Mr. Revetta said he received several calls from people around St. Lawrence County who reported feeling the vibration.
I didnt feel it at all, said Mr. Revetta, who was in an office on campus at the time.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Fridays earthquake was centered in Quebec about 37 miles northwest of Ottawa, at a depth of 6.4 miles beneath the surface.
Canadian media outlets reported that the quake could be felt throughout wide areas of Ontario and Quebec, at least as far away as Toronto.
Accounts of the quakes intensity varied. USGS reported its magnitude as 4.4, while Earthquakes Canada described it as being at 5.0.
Its a common phenomenon, Mr. Revetta said of quakes in the area, although the size of Friday mornings seismic incident was somewhat larger than usual.
Earthquakes Canada reported a 4.1 magnitude aftershock followed the initial quake about 10 minutes later.
Mr. Revetta did not expect Fridays activity was a prelude to larger quakes.
I dont believe people have to be concerned about another one occurring, he said.

Roadrunner & Artist News
The B-Side Of Ill Nino
Posted on February 12, 2008The future of Ill Nino b-sides is here, and it takes the form of live tracks. Scrap 60 Productions is currently mixing 2 live tracks, as recorded at Brixton in the UK during their most recent Euro tour. The tracks are "God Save Us" and "What Comes Around".
Never Expected Remix - Now that they are back home, Ill Nino hit the studio earlier this week to do a remix of the song "What Comes Around" off their Revolution...Revolucion debut. BUT, this is a remix you'd never expect... Usually when you hear the word 'remix', you think radio friendly or dance (for lack of a better word) version, correct? This remix actually went in the exact opposite direction. "Total different parts with new guitar riffs. Almost death metal," tell Marc. For this remix, the guitar, drums, and bass were re-recorded - only the vocals and acoustic guitar in the middle of the song remain the same. "The arrangement is different too. You will recognize things from the original, but this new version is straight up heavy, brutal." Today (Jan 31), Marc and company will be mixing the song in New York. The destination for this song? Along with Slipknot's new abuse mix of "My Plague" and new Coal Chamber track "Something", this new rendition of "What Comes Around" is on the Resident Evil soundtrack.... It's true.
So you wanna see some video of some live Ill NIno? See VIDEO section! All the footage you see was shot at The Limelight in NYC on Nov 15th 2001 - during and after their show. Courtesy of BK (for BC/BK Productions), check out an interview with the band on their bus after the show, and other appearances too...

Just days after being sworn in as prime minister of Pakistan, and declaring that he did not want to sever ties with the United States over the drone strikes that plague parts of his country, Nawaz Sharif (shown) said Monday that two recent U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan have convinced him that his own military is in collusion with the CIA to kill his countrymen.
"The policy of protesting against drone strikes for public consumption, while working behind the scenes to make them happen, is not on," Sharif said, according to the record of statements made at the inaugural meeting of his cabinet.
By taking on the military, Sharif may be outkicking his coverage. In the past, the Pakistani army — described by the Washington Post as one of "the strongest institutions in the country" — has welcomed the presence of the U.S. military, including the drones.
For a bit of context, it's been just over two weeks since President Obama proclaimed in a major policy address that drones would be used to kill only those "terrorists" whose threat to the security of the homeland was deemed "continuing and imminent."
Sharif was elected on May 11, and since that day he has decried the drone strikes that have become a central operation in the so-called War on Terror first prosecuted by the George W. Bush administration and perpetuated by President Obama.
In his first comments after his election, Sharif insisted that he did not want to sever ties with the United States over the drone strikes that have killed so many of his countrymen, but he did call out President Obama for violating the sovereignty of Pakistan by ordering the deadly drone missions without the approval of Islamabad.

Installing NGINX and PHP-FPM - Setup for NGINX
Well now that we have installing NGINX out of the way, we can proceed to setting up NGINX and PHP-FPM to work on your system.
If you are coming from the world of Apache, NGINX will look like Chinese to you. Though you will see that there are some familiar directives and you will see some things that you may recognize. Though I would implore you to go to the NGINX Wiki and read up on how things are done in NGINX. Essentially, if it does not work right it is because you did it wrong. Now that might sound harsh, but it is the truth. NGINX is stupid simple, and one of the things that I had the hardest time with was realizing that there was no need for complicated nonsense in my setup. NGINX allows you to change the outlook on your web application from complication to simplicity. So like Steve Jobs used to always say, "It just Works."
In NGINX everything that you will need to mess with is in the directory /etc/nginx. So for this part of the guide, please go to the directory /etc/nginx and it is here that we will begin changing the configuration files.
There are several default files that you will have to concern yourself with, and then a few others that I created so that I can use in my deployment of Virtual Hosts.
Default Files
- nginx.conf
- fastcgi_params
Files that I made to simplify my life
- security
- mail.conf
Before we go crazy and start deleting files and changing functions I recommend that we make a backup for the core files. Here is how you can do this simply and fast.
tar -czf ~/NGINX_Config.tar.gz nginx.conf fastcgi_params
Here is the nginx.conf that I have setup for my System. You can modify this to fit the needs of your particular environment, but generally speaking this should be good enough for most production systems.
Please Take Notice: In the nginx.conf file shown below, I have 2 'includes' in the # Virtual Host Configs area. These 'includes' are so I can have a separate config file directory and separate virtual host file directory. Now these 'includes'are not necessary, but make life so much simpler. However if you are set in your old ways and would like to have a very long single configuration file similar to the Apache httpd.conf, NGINX can accommodate that too. Essentially everything would be added to the nginx.conf file. However, I highly recommend you start out with good practices and use the applications resources as they have been designed.
Here are the fastcgi_params
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root; fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1; fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version; fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr; fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr; fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; # PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
Nginx.conf and fastcgi_params are the two basic files that you have to work with in order to setup NGINX. Now here are the custom configs that I added to simplify my life.
First I setup a security file, to fend off some basic annoyances. This is the security file:
## Only requests to our Host are allowed # if ($host !~ ^($server_name)$ ) { # return 444; # } ## Only allow these request methods ## ## Do not accept DELETE, SEARCH and other methods ## if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) { return 444; } ## Deny certain Referers ### if ( $http_referer ~* (babes|forsale|girl|jewelry|love|nudit|organic|poker|porn|sex|teen) ) { return 404; return 403; }
Next I setup a file for the mail directives that are normally in the nginx.conf file. I place these commented out lines in a mail.conf file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ folder and I leave the lines all commented out. I do this so that I could use it in the future if I ever choose to, though I am fairly sure that I wont. Essentially this part is optional and not necessary. The file created is mail.conf and it should be placed in the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory.
#mail { # # See sample authentication script at: # # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript # # # auth_http localhost/auth.php; # # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER"; # # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS"; # # server { # listen localhost:110; # protocol pop3; # proxy on; # } # # server { # listen localhost:143; # protocol imap; # proxy on; # } #}
Now that you have the basic NGINX configuration out of the way, it is time to setup some Virtual Hosts. In Debian there are two subdirectories located under the /etc/nginx/ directory. These are sites-available and sites-enabled. The functions for these directories are fairly straightforward. One is the place you house your Virtual Hosts, and the other is where the active Virtual Hosts live. Essentially if you are familiar with Apache, this has the same functionality. You have a Virtual Host Config file in the available directory and you either copy or symlink the files from one place to the other. To symlink a Virtual Host config file from one directory to another, enter this command.
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/THE.VIRTUAL.HOST.FILENAME /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/THE.VIRTUAL.HOST.FILENAME
As you build your Virtual Hosts I recommend that you do this from within the directory
/etc/nginx/sites-available. While following the instructions for this portion of the guide, please navigate to the
/etc/nginx/sites-available directory.
Here is the Virtual Host file that I have setup for instances using PHP.
Replace DOMAINNAME with the "DOMAIN NAME" you want to create a Virtual Host for
server { server_name www.DOMAINNAME; rewrite ^(.*) http://DOMAINNAME$1 permanent; } server { listen 80; server_name DOMAINNAME; root /var/www/DOMAINNAME/htdocs; index index.php; include /etc/nginx/security; # Logging -- access_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.error.log notice; # serve static files directly location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt)$ { access_log off; expires max; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm/DOMAINNAME.socket; fastcgi_index index.php; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; } }
Please review the PHP section of this virtual host template. This is the first reference to using UNIX file sockets for processing PHP.
If you need and or want a Virtual Host that is not using PHP, simply remove the PHP portion of the previous configuration file. That would look like this.
server { server_name www.DOMAINNAME; rewrite ^(.*) http://DOMAINNAME$1 permanent; } server { listen 80; server_name DOMAINNAME; root /var/www/DOMAINNAME/htdocs; index index.php; include /etc/nginx/security; # Logging -- access_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.error.log notice; # serve static files directly location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt)$ { access_log off; expires max; } }
In these virtual host files you will see that there is a line for
root /var/www/DOMAINNAME/htdocs. This line is the location where NGINX will look for the files that you are attempting to serve. You should change this so that the Virtual Host File is pointing to the location where you have placed your files.
Once you are finished with the NGINX Aspect of this deployment, meaning you have replaced your files with the ones I have shown here and then created your virtual hosts, you are now ready to configure PHP-FPM.

welcome to the school of arts and sciences
The School of Arts and Sciences lies at the heart of the university and is dedicated to providing its students the highest quality liberal education, encouraging their lifelong commitment both to pursuit of critical, analytical, and creative thinking in and between the disciplines, and to meeting responsibly the challenges of life, work, and the democracy. The liberal education gives students access to the broad and deep foundations of existing knowledge in the disciplines comprising the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences. Just as importantly, it offers students the opportunity to participate creatively in the disciplined production of new knowledge, and to recognize the interconnectedness of all branches of learning in the arts and sciences.
All undergraduate students spend a minimum of one fourth of their university careers in carefully chosen arts and sciences courses as they fulfill their university requirements. These courses teach critical thinking and skills needed in life outside the university and lay the foundation that allows a university graduate to become an educated citizen. Most students take further arts and sciences courses outside their major field of study, either required courses related to their major, or simply as electives enabling them to pursue their own particular interests.
Many students develop interests which blossom into lifetime careers by pursuing in-depth study in the arts, the humanities, the social or the natural sciences, all of which are centered in the School of Arts and Sciences. Twenty-two departments, ranging alphabetically from art to theatre, offer majors for the interested student. Prospective secondary school teachers may receive teaching certification by enrolling as a Bachelor of Science major in one of 12 departments offering such certification programs. The school also offers a large variety of minors and special programs for students interested in pursuing a field of study less intensely than through a full major.

Although fraudulent scams are an age old problem, new technologies have proven to be a breeding ground for fraud. Nearly every advancement in communication technology has brought forward countless new ways to part people with their money.
One of the newest and most problematic techniques involves taking advantage of the relay telephone system. By law every state is required to have some sort of relay system for the deaf and hard of hearing, and while for the most part they serve a worthy cause, some recent problems have caused many to stop accepting relayed calls.
Most of the fraud takes the form of an unidentified person calling through relay, trying to buy or sell large amounts of a goods and services. While such calls do not necessary equal fraud, they should be taken carefully.
Jackie Davis, owner of Price Floral, has been targeted twice from a caller taking advantage of the system, but recognized fraud early on.
"They asked to place a very large order with six arrangements that were $200 to $300 a piece," said Davis. "They tried to get me to take their (likely stolen) credit card for the order, but didn't want to discuss any of the arrangements and were really in a hurry to get me to take the card. People are usually very specific with large orders like this, just a lot of red flags."
Businesses in particular have been heavily targeted often with a relayed caller requesting a large order or asking for ad placements in distant locations. Many businesses have even stopped taking relayed calls because of the misuse, which leads the obvious problem of legitimate users being blocked.
"I do not encourage businesses owners to reject any relay, but with the scams we're trying to do now, is get information out with our public relations firm," said Mary Beth Green, Utah's Telecommunication relay service specialist. "We want to know about these problems, they are growing in Utah, but are much worse in other states."
Green also indicated that if someone suspects misuse of the relay system, that they can file a complaint with the operators, who are now being trained to handle fraudulent calls.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has also released this statement about relay misuse.
"The Commission has received informal complaints that people without disabilities, who are posing as deaf or hard of hearing consumers, are misusing an Internet based telecommunications relay service ("TRS" or "Relay Service") called "IP Relay" to perpetrate fraudulent business transactions, often by using stolen or fake credit cards."
Although this statement is broad, the FCC has also put together some guidelines on how to best deal with a potential relay fraud. The six steps include:
The person is happy to order "whatever you have in stock";
Supplies multiple credit cards as one or more are declined;
Cannot provide the credit card verification code number (the three digit number on the back of the card);
Wants the goods shipped through a third party and/or an overseas location;
Will not identify himself or give a company name;
Changes delivery or payment method after an order has been approved.
As for Price Floral's case, Jackie encountered nearly all of these indicators and when she asked for address verifications she was given a spot on the highway outside of Huntington.
"It took them about 45 seconds to come up with 600N 400E in Huntington. I looked it up on Map Quest and it's just on the road in the middle of nowhere," said Davis.
Sorenson Communications PR director Ann Bardsley indicated that company is aware of the problem and is working very hard to inform their customers on how to protect themselves. She went on to say that its been going on at least since Sorenson got involved with relay system four years ago. Although the company has filed comments with the FCC, to date no action has been taken, but with better training Sorenson hopes to decrease fraud and willingly participate in any lawful investigations.
The final straw for Jackie came after a request for her wire $950 to a remote location for shipping.
"I asked for more information and they just said 'are you going to do this or not' I told them no and the hung up," concluded Jackie.

iPad charging floor stand
By None
from Los Agneles
The iPad Charging Floor Stand makes reading easier, while ensuring that the iPad is continuously charged. However, the stand is not without difficulties. The bas is to be filled with "water" to ensure stability. On a rug, it does not work.. I breached protocol and filled my base with sand. It works just fine. Thank you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I Pad charging floor stand.
By do not have one.
from Homer Glen Il.
Hi! I filled bottom with water like it said to do, but found out it was easy to nock over or maybe top heavy with IPAD on it. Maybe the floor rug made it not easy to stand on. Maybe a little bigger base might be needed. My wife uses it and likes it allot. Take care . Donald

By lwashjr
from Michigan
The base is too small and too light even when filled with water as recommended. This makes the stand very unstable in any position except with the gooseneck nearly wertical.In my opinion the product is a good idea but useless in reality
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor Design
By Lori
from Dallas, TX
Very poor design on this item. The arm is too short to reach a comfortable viewing spot. The IPad can only be viewed in a vertical position as it falls out if turned horizonataly.

Just what I was looking for!
By Loves on-line Catalogs!
from Cincinnati Ohio
The base needed more weight than water was able to supply, especially on carpet. Otherwise it was terrific for my husband after having one hand operated on.

Works Well
By sm1th
from Toronto
We use our iPad stand for bedside program watching. It was easy to assemble and the nightlight feature is very nice. I would suggest a longer arm for greater positioning options. Very happy with the purchase.

I would not buy this product
By Kilipaki
from Lorton VA
The stand doesn't hold up when using an IPAD, it starts to lean forward and the arm is not durable to bending as well as the plastic stand. The base holds the water but have to refill every so often. The holding of the IPAD is not tight it's loose. The lock in the back of the holder is not easy to use, may have to use a drop of oil to make it slide easier.
The iPad Charging Floor Stand
By Cat
from Sugar Land Texas
No hands reading is very helpful and comfortable you don't have to prop it up.The neck is too short to draw over our bed where I really wanted to use it.Charging part is wonderful

It's not every day a business school looks to a rugby coach for advice.
And yet, the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business invited Larry Gelwix, coach of the Highland Rugby team in Salt Lake City and the inspiration for the movie "Forever Strong," to be a Dean's Convocation speaker last January.
Dean Douglas D. Anderson, who has worked with some of the best known business leaders in the country, introduced Gelwix, who is also CEO of Columbus Travel, at the convocation. Anderson described Gelwix as "one of the finest leaders I have ever met."
While Gelwix spoke he was filmed by three different film crews. One of them was gathering footage which could eventually be used as part of a special feature on the "Forever Strong" DVD. Students packed the auditorium, watched on a video feed pumped to the student lounge and other areas of the building and then stood in line afterward to get a chance to talk with him.
Gelwix shared with the students what he called the "five pillars of success." They were as follows:
Practice "horizontal leadership." He said the most common type of leadership, with the boss taking credit or passing on blame, is "ego driven." With a horizontal philosophy, he said, "Everyone has the right of human dignity, of human respect, of not being humiliated in front of their peers, of not being ripped apart."
"There's no such thing as negative motivation," he said. "There is not. You can terrorize someone; you can threaten an employee with his job; you can threaten a student; you can terrorize someone within your organization, and you will get a short-term behavior change. But you'll never capture their heart and their loyalty."
Gelwix emphasized the importance of respecting everyone, regardless of their responsibilities or job. He argued it is especially important to be respectful of those who aren't in a position to help you.
"If you want to know what a person's character is really like, I'm going tell you the secret; it never fails," he said. "Watch how a person treats someone they don't need."
"Don't play with snakes." Gelwix told a story of a friend who was playing with a rattlesnake and got bit. He told the students there is a right and wrong, and they should resist the temptation to choose an unethical path just because it promises more profit.
"The essence of a lie is not the words you chose but the message that you convey," he said.
"See the finished product." He also said to recognize people for the potential they have and treat them as equals.
"It's about seeing the potential in people," he said. "As you go on to your leadership role, see the end from the beginning, as Stephen Covey would put it. See the potential. See the finished product."
"Focus on the final score." Gelwix encouraged the students to think about not what they are going to be, but instead, who they are going to be.
"Be men and women of integrity," he said. "Be men and women of honesty. You're going to get some penalty flags and fouls and missed shots along the way. You're going to have some people take advantage of you, but you determine what the final score of your life is by not what you want to be but who you want to be."
"Get out of the boat and drive the wagon." Gelwix told the Biblical story in Matthew of Peter getting out of the boat in a storm and trying to walk across the water to Jesus Christ.
"I think that Peter gets a bum rap with this story," he said, "because we always talk about his failure and his sinking … Peter got out of the boat."
He also told a story of Salt Lake pioneer Brigham Young crossing a river as the frozen ice started to crack. When a follower suggested they stop and pray, Young said, according to Gelwix, "Brother, we said our prayers this morning, now you drive that wagon!"
"Some of us spend so much time in planning, paralyzed by fear, afraid we may look dumb, afraid we may fail, that we don't get out of the boat and we don't drive the wagon," he said.
"The five things I have told you are true," he said. "They are pillars of success that not only will not fail you, but cannot fail you. They will not fail. You put them in your business, you put them in your student life, you put them into your professional life, you put them in your personal life: you will not fail."
