M.A.C. Cosmetics At-A-Glance
What more can one say for this long-standing makeup line whose products have spoken eloquently for themselves for years? In many ways, M.A.C. Cosmetics is a pivotal line not only for makeup artists but also for any in-the-know cosmetics consumer. Although M.A.C. has several singularly outstanding products, they generally excel by virtue of the range of choices offered. The color selection for everything from lipsticks to foundations is exceptional. Most of the makeup brushes are beautiful, full, and soft, as well as properly sized to fit the contours of the face and eyes.
When it comes to skincare you may be tempted to dismiss the small assortment M.A.C. offers and skip right to their makeup with its well-earned positive reputation. But doing so would mean missing a handful of beautifully formulated products that are worth trying. By no means is M.A.C.'s skin-care line one-stop shopping (at least not if you have blemishes, skin discolorations, or require more than a couple options per category), but you'll find more than just the color products impressive here, and the prices aren't unreasonable either!
M.A.C.'s salespeople are often trained makeup artists, too. This is especially true in the freestanding M.A.C. boutiques, where the staff tends to be true makeup artists.
Note: M.A.C. sets itself apart from other beauty brands by staying ahead of the curve by launching a seemingly-constant rotation of impressive limited edition products, usually with fashion-forward themes. Though it's impossible to review every limited edition product, many of M.A.C.'s are as impressive as those in their permanent collection.
Strengths: Some impressive moisturizers; praiseworthy foundations in a mostly gorgeous range of shades; good concealers; several great powder-based products including blush, bronzer, and eyeshadow in various finishes; dizzying array of lipstick shades in mostly sumptuous formulas; several very good mascaras (regular and waterproof); top-notch makeup brushes; many of the Prep + Prime products work as claimed.
Weaknesses:A few products with high levels of potential skin irritants.

BUFFALO, NY - On Monday, gas prices reached an average of $3.80 in Western New York for a gallon of regular unleaded.
That's 4.5 cents higher than one week ago, 17.7 cents higher than one month ago, and 47 cents higher than on this date last year.
"We continue to see the price of crude oil going up," said Patrick DeHaan, a Senior Petroleum Analyst with GasBuddy.com.
While DeHaan notes the existence of the usual suspects behind the latest price increases, such as higher global demand and market speculation, there are now new tensions in the Middle East, where Iran is reducing exports in response to sanctions over its nuclear program.
DeHaan says trouble in the Middle East can actually affect East Coast refineries-- where we get our gas --more than Midwest refineries, which serve areas of the country where pump prices are generally lower.
"East Coast refineries rely on imported crude oil which can cost as much as $30 more per barrel, than say, what other refineries in the Midwest are paying."
DeHaan says this is because those refineries have access to cheaper oil, now being produced at a break neck pace in the Dakotas and Canada.
"Crude oil in the northeast has to be imported, because there's no pipeline that really connects it to the cheap crude oil, so there are limited options for those refiners which means they have to pay a higher price," DeHaan explained.
DeHaan says crude from the Bakken fields is cheaper in part because it's land locked, and therefore it has a limited customer base. And while he says pipelines from those fields to other parts of the U.S would be helpful in bringing down prices domestically, he cautions that if the pipelines were extended to seaports, then that crude would become pricey as well, because it would become available to a world-wide mass market.
"Ten years ago the Chinese were sipping oil from a straw. Now they're shooting it from 24-packs, and looking for more," DeHaan said, in reasoning that the economic principles of supply and demand would dictate that the market value of the Bakken crude, once made available for export, would skyrocket.
Last Spring, when crude prices fell but gas prices didn't, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate if refiners were inflating prices by decreasing supply.
It agreed to do that in June.
A spokesman for Schumer says the FTC is yet to complete the investigation, and on Monday we couldn't get anyone from that agency to say how that's coming along, due to the federal holiday.
But in September it did produce a separate report, which concluded: "crude oil prices continue to be the main driver of what Americans pay at the pump".
As well, NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office spent most of last year investigating if there was price gouging going on, but his report also concluded: "(gasoline) price increases were primarily driven by changes in the price of crude oil, not actions taken by gasoline retailers or wholesalers."
This leads DeHaan to conclude that while such probes might reduce the risk of anyone trying to gouge on prices (because they're more aware that they are being watched) there really might not be much those on Capitol Hill can do, outside of posturing.
"That's right, that's right, you know these politicians...it's their big subject... it's the hot topic, everybody wants to fight high gas prices. You have the FTC and attorneys' general looking into collusion, but this is just the free market at work, unfortunately."
That didn't stop Schumer from suggesting another strategy while in Syracuse on Monday, where he said the Obama administration should urge Saudi Arabia-- no friend of Iran-- to increase production, in deference to US efforts to stem Iran's nuclear capabilities through sanctions, which has caused Iran to reduce its exports.
"The Saudis and the gulf states ought to pump more oil immediately, and that's what our government ought to do....it ought to tell the Saudis, 'you know, we're trying to keep Iran in line by squeezing them economically', and (you) ought to pump more oil so the price doesn't go up," Schumer said.

When we hear about sparks flying, we think of summer love, but when the conversation ends with those sparks flying in the kitchen, the only thing we think of is the phone number for the local electrician.
Electrical issues in a restaurant can bring service to a halt, but with these electrical parts you'll be back up and operating in no time… and yes, you can stop worrying about those sparks flying; unless, of course, you found your first 10 burner oven - that definitely warrants sparks of love.

I think it's neat. I would love to see this at the airports.
Original 777 design had them. More than likely just a rehash of the old idea. Im not sure the flying public would go for them.
Although the Navy been using em since the 30s. I flew on the A-3 as a crewman and saw them fold tons of times and it never bothered me.
As long as the weight of any fuel saved with the larger wing area exceeds the weight of the additional hardware, this will be an excellent project.
I heard somewhere that a Vought Crusader made a flight with it's wings folded.
One of the most well-known incidents was in 1960 when an F-8 took off from Naples (LIRN) at afterburner, climbed to 5000 feet then returned safely. The pilot reportedly complained of "increased control forces."

Its not arrogant at all. From what I have been reading and from what I have seen, that was one of the reason why they did it. Tonight when I get home from work i'll look for those links again, but its out there.
Why do you like the cropped job if it doesn't look natural?
And you do? Also I wasn't calling him a BYB. There is a difference. I was comparing, you should read the post better; I even took back what I said about the BYB comment.

Launched in the Summer of 2006, Rails clothing brand is the perfect blend of casual Southern California and the sleek sophistication of a retro-European look. Founder and designer Jeff Abrams grew up in a family of artists but instead of attending a school of arts like so many of his predecessors, Abrams went to UC Berkeley to study political science and business. Shortly after graduating, he went to work at a major Los Angeles television studio where he helped launch brands in the marketing department. Eventually moving to Italy for three years where he traveled by train and backpacked through different parts of the country, Abrams began to notice that the European style of fitted fashions had much more sophistication than the street clothes he grew up with in Los Angeles. Moving back to Los Angeles, Abrams decided to combine both his passion for the arts and his passion for business, starting with the simple design concept of a fitted hoodie. By adding buttons and bringing in the fit, these hoodies were an instant hit and Rails was born. Abrams has since moved on from the hoodies to a much broader line of looks but stays true to his original intent of creating a quality garment with a good form, fit, and feel.
With looks that are relaxed but always refined, Rails clothing is going to keep you looking chic while you remain comfortable and are great for dressing up or dressing down! With influences from international travel to metropolitan living, this collection is perfect for any on-the-go girl. For the perfect fitting and easy to throw on tee, try the Dana Plaid Shirt in Green/Ivory paired with your favorite dark wash jeans and some boots. Rails clothing proves that looking good doesnt have to mean compromising your body into unflattering and uncomfortable pieces so stock up on this brand today and make sure to check out the entire Rails collection or look through our selection of tops to find the perfect fit for you.

"If you give up your rights now, don't expect to get them back." That was the warning issued on March 6 by Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) during his epic almost-13-hour filibuster of the nomination of John Brennan as head of the CIA.
When asked during his marathon monologue how long he planned to carry on, Paul responded with an inspiring pledge to
speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.
His aggressive, unapologetic counterattack against Democrats and those within his own party who seem willing to sacrifice guaranteed liberty for theoretical safety has forced Senator Paul many times to stand alone in the quest to keep America from promoting and perpetuating foreign conflicts around the world.
Whether it is foreign policy or domestic policy, Paul wants to walk a constitutional path. In fact, from the president's use of drones to subtract names from his infamous kill list to the National Security Agency's (NSA) tapping of phones and the Internet without probable cause as required by the Fourth Amendment, Senator Paul has been the vanguard of the war on the war on terror.
Although the interview reported in this article occurred before the revelations regarding the NSA's wholesale surveillance of millions of American phone records, just before press time, on June 9, Senator Paul appeared on Fox News Sunday and proposed filing a class action lawsuit challenging the Obama administration's unconstitutional surveillance programs.
"I'm going to be seeing if I can challenge this at the Supreme Court level," Paul said, according to a rush transcript posted by the Washington Post. "I'm going to be asking all the Internet providers and all of the phone companies, ask your customers to join me in a class action lawsuit. If we get 10 million Americans saying we don't want our phone records looked at, then somebody will wake up and say things will change in Washington."

No Country for Old Menby Cormac McCarthy
"[A] taut thriller that not only holds, but also rewards, close attention....'There's no such thing as life without bloodshed,' McCarthy said 13 years ago in a rare interview. And like his character Moss, McCarthy can't help peeking. The constant question underlying his fiction is how we are to live on in the face of this knowledge." Ira Boudway, Salon.com (read the entire Salon.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Set along a bloody frontier in our own time, this is Cormac McCarthy's first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, best-selling "Border Trilogy."
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and over $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes that Moss and his young wife are in desperate need of protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem.
The pursuit stretches along and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society wages on itself, an enduring meditation of the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, and a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.
"Seven years after Cities of the Plain brought his acclaimed Border Trilogy to a close, McCarthy returns with a mesmerizing modern-day western. In 1980 southwest Texas, Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles across several dead men, a bunch of heroin and $2.4 million in cash. The bulk of the novel is a gripping man-on-the-run sequence relayed in terse, masterful prose as Moss, who's taken the money, tries to evade Wells, an ex-Special Forces agent employed by a powerful cartel, and Chigurh, an icy psychopathic murderer armed with a cattle gun and a dangerous philosophy of justice. Also concerned about Moss's whereabouts is Sheriff Bell, an aging lawman struggling with his sense that there's a new breed of man (embodied in Chigurh) whose destructive power he simply cannot match. In a series of thoughtful first-person passages interspersed throughout, Sheriff Bell laments the changing world, wrestles with an uncomfortable memory from his service in WWII and — a soft ray of light in a book so steeped in bloodshed — rejoices in the great good fortune of his marriage. While the action of the novel thrills, it's the sensitivity and wisdom of Sheriff Bell that makes the book a profound meditation on the battle between good and evil and the roles choice and chance play in the shaping of a life. Agent, Amanda Urban. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Shades of Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, and Faulkner resonate in McCarthy's blend of lyrical narrative, staccato dialogue, and action-packed scenes splattered with bullets and blood." Booklist (Starred Review)
"In his latest novel, McCarthy stumbles headlong into self-parody....McCarthy lays out his rancorous worldview with all the nuance and subtlety of conservative talk radio....A made-for-television melodrama filled with guns and muscle cars..." Library Journal
"[A]n entertaining novel from one of our best writers. Often seen as a fabulist and an engineer of dark morality tales, McCarthy is first a storyteller." The Washington Post
"No Country for Old Men would easily translate to the big screen so long as Bell's tedious, long-winded monologues were left on the cutting room floor — a move that would also have made this a considerably more persuasive novel." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Mr. McCarthy's story is so exquisitely harrowing that the reader can forget to breathe. But it's Sheriff Bell's private meditations interspersed between the chapters that give it its heft and soul." Dallas Morning News
"With his stripped-down Marlboro Man prose, Cormac McCarthy knows how to write a bang-up Western thriller. But when he strives for grand mythic effect in the second half...his taut, suspenseful story quickly heads south. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"[A] heated story that brands the reader's mind as if seared by a knife heated upon campfire flames. [McCarthy] is nothing less than our greatest living writer, and this is a novel that must be read and remembered..." Houston Chronicle
"You will not be able to put it down — the storytelling is thrilling and terrifying. But you will come away from the reading experience with something more than Grisham or Crichton or any other genre writer can provide — a look into the darkest places of the human heart." Hartford Courant
"Mr. McCarthy is smart to keep this book short and swift. After all, one can only sit through so many...speeches before retreating into numbness. But the question remains: Should a McCarthy novel be this easy to read?" Wall St. Journal
"[N]asty fun...a darting movie-ready narrative that rips along like hell on wheels....Such sinister high hokum might be ridiculous if McCarthy didn't keep it moving faster than the reader can pause to think about it." Walter Kirn, The New York Times Book Review
"No plot summary will do this novel justice. There is plenty of action. Readers may need a flow chart to keep track, but the mystery is more than enough to keep any reader panting. Some of the spare, swift dialog is profound and some is wonderfully comic." St. Petersburg Times
"While No Country for Old Men surely will be welcomed as a worthy addition to border literature, it can't compete with the vast claim previous McCarthy novels have staked in that rapidly expanding territory." Kansas City Star
"Of course two-thirds of a great book is more than we'll ever expect of most writers, but with McCarthy we've learned to set the bar higher, and by that standard No Country for Old Men, while riveting for much of its length, in the end falls short." Denver Post
"The pace is deliberately grim and airless — the book has little of the space and quiet that resonated beneath All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing. As a result, the murders are numbing rather than moving..." The Christian Science Monitor
"Despite McCarthy's trademark laconic, well-tuned style, the novel reads much like any number of crime thrillers now on the market....What's missing are the depth and nuances of emotion found in McCarthy's trilogy, particularly All The Pretty Horses." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Set in our own time along the bloody frontier between Texas and Mexico, this is Cormac McCarthys first novel since Cities of the Plain completed his acclaimed, best-selling Border Trilogy.
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything.

About the Author
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in 1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy's fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West — the first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), All the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992, and The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, which completes The Border Trilogy.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate writer
On June 9, the East Carbon City Council met to review many of its on going projects that are nearing completion including the new walking paths, as well the city's geographic information system (GIS) project to map it's utility system.
The 15 year old utility system has been lacking an accurate picture of where everything is located, as well as what is in need of replacement. But thanks to Jones and DeMille engineering out of Price, this picture of the system has been established.
"The project shows accurate locations of fire hydrants, sewers and man holes," said Trent Brown from Jones and DeMille. Numerous problems with the current system were found including three abandoned fire hydrants and a few man holes that were underneath the street pavement.
Mayor Orlando La Fontaine was quick to approach the problem. "I want to know where those are at," he said during the meeting. Other problems that were reported were 28 man hole locations that were out of state code. State code requires man holes to be 500 feet apart in order for the system to be easily cleaned, and according to Jones and DeMille, some of East Carbon City's holes were up to 1000 feet apart.
Council member Dave Maggio expressed concern about possible renovations. "We spent 8.5 million on infrastructure and we have man holes this far apart? Has the law changed?" he ask during the meeting. And since the time of construction, according to Collin Fossett of Jones and DeMille, the law has changed and probably will change again. The council voted to seek funding to bring the system up to code.
Two golf carts that were approved during the previous council meeting are now in service around East Carbon, and are already saving money, according, to mayor La Fontaine, who called them a "great success." In terms of the previous meeting there were also some clarifications to be made about the city's maintenance department because La Fontaine, who was not present during that meeting, made it clear that the East Carbon City maintenance department's trucks are all in working condition, and that other maintenance issues on the walking paths have been budgeted for by the city council.
Congratulations was presented to Lisa Miller who was responsible for 143 new trees that were planted across East Carbon City recently. The trees which came from an Oregon nursery have been a great sense of pride for council members. "These aren't just sticks in the ground, these are full size trees," said Maggio during the meeting.
$3,000 was approved to help pave various roads and drive ways around East Carbon.
Nielson Construction will prove materials as $10 per tonne La Fontaine was excited about the deal. "It's going to give us so much," he said during the meeting.
Finally the council decided to go back before the county commission to seek funding for Community Days, because while the Carbon County Tax Advisory Board (CCTAB) has recommended that the $8,000 go to Community Daze, the county commission has yet to approve it. La Fontaine was determined to go before the commission during their next meeting. "We're not the other side of the county," said La Fontaine "We deserve a little break on this event."

By By KEVIN SCANNELL Sun Advocate sports reporter
After running hundreds of miles over the course of the year, dealing with fatigue and injuries here and there, everything they had worked for came down to one final race: the state meet.
The Carbon High boys and girls cross country teams qualified for the state meet held at Sugarhouse in Salt Lake City last Wednesday after a season in which the girls won the Region 12 title and one that saw the boys use a strong finish at the region meet held at the Carbon Country Club to qualify.
Carbon High coach Telisse Allen said the state meet brought out a lot of talented runners from all over class 3A, including Park City and Ogden, who is a nationally ranked school.
So while the allure of a state championship would have been nice, Carbon's runners focused on improving upon their previous times at state and pushing themselves against the other teams from 3A.
For the girls, senior Regan Powell led the way with a 15th place finish and a time of 19.51.3. Allen said that Powell beat her time from last year by about 30 seconds and accomplished her goal of finishing within the top 20. Teammate Rachel Goodrich finished in 31st place with a time of 20.42.5, an improvement of her time from last year, Allen noted.
In total for the girls team, Allen said four girls set new personal best times and for some underclassmen on the team, including Mattie Black, Maya Anderson and Suzannah Ohlwiler, the experience of running at state will prove to be a big help going into next year and beyond.
For the boys, it was a mixture of hardship and determination. Top boys finisher Garrett Marsing took 12th place with a time of 16.33.2. Somewhere around 800 meters into the race, Allen said Marsing fell when he encountered a downhill part with a curve while attempting to push himself towards the runners in front of him. Despite falling back in the pack of runners, Marsing was able to work his way back to his original position as the race ended.
For senior Luke Olsen, the race was not about setting any records. It was about finishing what he started. Olsen, who injured his calf in the region meet two weeks ago, took part in the race despite not being pressured into doing so, Allen said.
Olsen, with Allen and other teammates encouraging him along the course, finished in 123rd place with a time of 23.31.6.
"He (Olsen) showed a lot of heart while running the course," Allen said.
Allen said she was pleased overall with the performance of the teams at state. She said members of the team put in a lot of effort over the past year including running up to 400 miles over the summer to reach the point of participating at the state meet. The hard work paid off as the girls won a region title for the first time since 1997.
Allen said cross country running can be both an individual and a team orientated type of sport.
"It's a team sport, but it's also a very individual type of sport to participate in," she said.
Other girls finishing times and places: Susannah Ohlwiler, 54th place, 21.35.5; Diana Olsen, 82nd place, 22.41.1; Maya Anderson, 112th place, 24.15.7; Madi Black, 122nd place, 27.27.2; Ashley Noyes, 123rd place, 29.32.8.
Other boys finishing times and places: Justin Hepworth, 72nd place, 17.45.3; Skylar Larsen, 108th place, 19.10; Brenden Hepworth, 119th place, 20.43.5; Thory VanDyke, 121st place, 21.04.2; Cameron Shiner, 122nd place, 21.13.6; Luke Olsen, 123rd place, 23.31.6.
To improve going into next season the teams will again need to train a lot over the year in preparation of the season. Allen said the future for the team looks bright with many of the underclassmen runners getting a lot of experience this season.
"The future is definitely looking good for us," she said.

Some people would look at current market share distribution for Windows OS smartphones and give a shrug "meh – 2% of the market? Not a likely contender." It is true that Microsoft hasn't had the easiest road breaking into this new era of pocket PCs (aka smartphones), but the latest joint venture with European feature phone giant, Nokia, looks to be a step in the right direction. What would a giant step in the right direction be? Pairing up its OS with a Samsung handset. This is precisely what they have down with the Samsung i8350 Omnia W, a move that is bound to shake things up as Samsung has quickly become the Android golden child of smartphone manufacturing. Let the latest trend setting fashionable accessories express your unique style! Discover award-wining design protective cases and skins that deliver modern style, stunning design and smart protection. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
Time for the good, the bad, the ugly and a few ideas of rectifying some of the bad and ugly. The Omnia W isn't revolutionary. It's a far sight more attractive than its predecessor, the Omnia S, but is still a midrange phone intended to compete in the North American market. Its most notable features? Powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and the Mango 7.5 OS, great battery life and screen clarity with the Super AMOLED touchscreen, Mobile Office document viewer / editor (one of the features that makes this a great buy for business professionals), and a multitude of social network integration and cloud services. break free from long-term locked in service contract... unlocked cell phones enable you to enjoy the freedom of choosing your service provider and negotiating the service plan that best meets your interactive lifestyle.
Now for where the Omnia S is lacking… Storage (it is non-expandable and there is no mass storage), no Flash support in browser (so no streaming your favorite guilty pleasure from ABC.com while on the go), and no video support are the most notable. Luckily these are shortcomings are either addressable by purchasing external storage or SD memory cards and investing in a separate media device for shooting video and streaming Flash content.
While the Omnia S doesn't have the most dazzling internal stats, processor, or operating system, this Windows / Samsung collaboration does hit the intended mark of being elegant, aesthetically pleasing, business oriented smartphone for the a midrange market that integrates the best part of Microsoft and Windows: ease of use. They have made social media, texting, and the new ways we communicate all integral in the People Hub and have stayed with the current "Siri" trend of voice activated commands.
On the bright side, accessories such as Bluetooth headsets, car chargers as well as protective cases and skins along with screen protectors.
For its shortcomings, there seem to be few that can't be overcome with a bit of extracurricular accessory acquisitions and eventual Windows OS updates. As with any smartphone, this writer chalks much of it up to personal preference and how individuals use their devices. With plenty of unlocked phones, OS, and competitive carriers out there, it is a buyer's market. So investigate the options, usage plans, and your must-haves in a mobile device and happy hunting!
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! The latest innovative protection solutions allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.

The same day Apple released another stellar earnings report, it announced that the long-anticipated Mountain Lion, otherwise known as OS X 10.8, would go on sale first thing Wednesday morning.
Mountain Lion is available in the Mac app store only at a price of $19.99. Those who bought a new Mac on or after June 11 are entitled to a free upgrade.
In July 2011, Apple released the last version of the Mac OS - OS X 10.7, known as Lion. According to Apple, Lion is used by 40% of Mac owners, and 50% still use the previous version - Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion is a significant upgrade to Lion. It is rumored to add more than 200 new features, including integration with the iPhone and iPad operating system - iOS. Reminders, Messages, Notes and other notifications that will automatically sync between devices.
The Mountain Lion update is only for current Lion or Snow Leopard owners. If your Mac operates on a previous OS version, you'll have to upgrade to Snow Leopard before buying Mountain Lion. For those with a pre-2009 Mac, your computer probably won't have enough processor to run Mountain Lion.

You called your sponsor at 3 in the morning?
And she came over???
Holy cow! If you keep that up, you don't have a chance not to be sober !
If you keep doing what you're doing, those fearful dreams WILL go away soon. Drinking dreams are very normal. I don't know anyone who hasn't had them. Most of those I've heard don't stop completely, but change and become rare.
I guess I tend to dream about things that are important to me, mostly scary things I'm dealing with. Drinking was so scary that I dreamed it. Sobriety is SO important that I dream about drinking. But now, even my dreams don't drink any more.
It's funny, though. My dreams started being ABOUT drinking. At first, I feared it. Then I started having dreams about NOT drinking when I had a chance in a dream. "It works if you work it". I'm not just practicing any more. Sobriety is for real !
For me, the only important thing about my dreams is how I feel when I wake up. It might mean I need to work on something today. When I dream drinking, I wake up more determined to "work it harder because it works".
One sponsor lady read here and check on me to. Said spelling sucks no good. Get better. I will. I follow instructions.
Spayulling? Your spelling doesn't bother me. MINE does.
Obey your sponsor lady no matter how small a thing it seems.
I will. I follow instructions.
What a perfect thing to say! Even more perfect to DO. You're perfect for being sober.
Alicia .... YOU are MY all-time hero now!!! Thanks for helping me stay sober today !

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Billionaire capitalists saving the Earth? You bet. While environmentalists regularly accuse giant capitalist entities like ExxonMobil, Cargill, Koch, Massey and others of depleting nonrenewable energy and other natural resources, a new enlightened class of capitalists is betting new space-age technologies will discover and restore resources and make them a fortune while saving the world from a disastrous ending.
And Planetary Resources is the solution.
"I would love to take the company public someday," says company Co-Chairman Eric Anderson, an aerospace engineer and pioneer in the commercial space-flight industry, along with Peter Diamandis, CEO of the X Prize and Singularity University.
"I think it's really important for the public to have a chance to be part of this, but not until we're ready," Anderson told Bloomberg News a few months ago. "We need to fly to space first." Well, listen up investors and space enthusiasts, it will happen sooner than you think.
In a NewScientist interview with Paul Marks, Planetary Resources President Chris Lewicki said: "Yes. We're launching the first telescopes in 18 months, and we're actually building them ourselves in our own facility ... We have a team of more than 30 engineers with long experience of doing this kind of thing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, myself included. Many of our team worked on designing and building NASA's Curiosity rover, and I was a system engineer on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and flight director when we landed them on Mars."
Yes, if anyone can do it these guys can.
Prospecting on asteroids before 2022, IPO on horizon much sooner
In Bloomberg's "Google-backed asteriod mining venture attracts billionaires," Jesse Riseborough and Thomas Biesheuvel write that Anderson wants them "to be the first to harness potentially trillions of dollars of minerals including platinum group metals by using robotic technology to mine asteroids," adding that while Planetary Resources has "enough funding for several years of operations, including its initial prospecting missions, the Seattle-based company would consider an initial public offering for future financing needs."
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
So get on a list if you want to get a piece of the IPO action later. Another big reason: Google CEO Larry Page and many of his billionaire friends are backing this new Planetary Resources asteroid-mining venture, a potentially multitrillion-dollar company. Remember Google's original share price went from $85 in 2004 to over $700 today.
Yes, but the biggest reason you need to take this venture to heart is because Planet Earth is rapidly running out of natural resources. As a result, the success of Planetary Resources is also vital to America's national security as well as the survival of our civilization.
Sound familiar? Yes, which is why this opportunity is more than a century ahead of the sci-fi version. Remember James Cameron's blockbuster film "Avatar" set in the year 2154? The space traveling Resources Development Corporation, an American mining conglomerate, attacks the Na'vi indigenous tribes on the Pandora moon. They wage war over mining rights to unobtanium, a powerful new energy resource, needed back on Earth to save our planet, where population growth and demand is exhausting limited natural resources, resulting in a dying civilization.
Obviously a metaphor for today's global threats. Oscar winner Cameron, a committed explorer, is also an adviser to the Planetary Resources venture.
Private capitalism saving planet resources ... without government money
But there's an even bigger reason the Planetary Resources deal is historic: Capitalism is upstaging government. Recently the editor-in-chief of MIT Technology Review Jason Pontin published a challenging and provocative article, "Why We Can't Solve Big Problems," with a cover quote of astronaut Buzz Aldrin, "You promised me Mars colonies. I got Facebook."

The OF options that don't include trading Dickey or Niese
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterI understand if people feel like Sandy Alderson might never make a move this winter, but the reality is he has to. Right now, if the season started tomorrow, he has so few players under contract, he'd have to dip in to Double-A to find a starting outfielder. So, believe me, there will be additions in some way, shape or form.
The thing is, I have no idea what those moves will be, because the options are limited…
Scott Hairston, Cody Ross: The Mets have a good shot at one of these two guys. However, right now, they're both waiting to see what happens with Nick Swisher and Michael Bourne. Ross and Hairston each want a three-year deal, and, while no team is offering it yet, they know the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Cardinals and others all have interest.
Nick Swisher: As far as I can tell, the Mets are not among the large number of teams still pursuing Swisher.
Michael Bourn: New reports suggest he and Scott Boras might give up looking for a long-term deal and instead seek a one-year contract, so he can reapply next winter. If that's the case, I bet the Mets show interest.
Jacoby Elsbury: Today, it seems very unlikely he gets traded. I think teams question his health, and are scared off knowing his agent is Scott Boras and he'll be a free agent one year from now.
Dexter Fowler: Rockies people say he isn't available, but the Braves and others keep asking. In early December, people at the Winter Meetings said Colorado will only consider moving him if a team overpays with major-league ready pitching.
Josh Willingham: The Twins had been listening to offers for him, and teams keep asking, but it looks like he's staying put now that Denard Span was traded away.
Diamondbacks: The word in Arizona is that the D-Backs are more likely to trade Jason Kubel than Gerrardo Parra or Justin Upton, and they'll likely pick up talks with teams who just lost out on Josh Hamilton (like the Phillies, Rangers, Mariners, etc.). It doesn't sound to me like there has been much talk between the D-Backs and Mets, though I believe they were one of the early teams to inquire about Dickey.

OSU softball wins pair in shutout fashion
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. – Oregon State softball pitchers surrendered just three hits in two games and freshman first baseman Natalie Hampton homered in each game Thursday as the Beavers shut out Colorado State, 11-0, and Maryland, 8-0.
Senior starter Marina Demore didn't take to the circle until after the offense had given her a 5-0 lead with excellent plate discipline. The Beavers forced five walks in the top of the first inning as the first seven hitters reached base. Seniors Elizabeth Santana and Desiree Beltran each had RBI singles in the inning around the free passes.
That would be all Demore would need. In five innings, she struck out seven while allowing just two hits and two walks. She won her sixth of the season and remains undefeated in games she starts.
In the second, another senior repeated a familiar theme. Outfielder Lea Cavestany hit a grand slam to break the game wide open. It was her second grand slam of the season and fourth homer overall. It also extended her hitting streak to 10 games, one that would end against Maryland later in the evening.
Hampton's homer closed the scoring in the fifth inning as she drove in Santana with the blast.
Against Maryland, it was Santana's homer to open the scoring in the first. It was the first of four solid at-bats for the shortstop where she hit the ball on the screws. Three of them fell for hits, while the other was a laser that found an outfielder's glove.
Her triple in the third came one inning after second baseman Ya Garcia did the same. The Beavers had one triple in the first 12 games of the season, but tripled their season total in a matter of four batters Thursday. Garcia's scored catcher Ally Kutz to make it 3-0.
The scored stayed the same until Hampton hit her sixth homer of the season and third in as many games to lead off the sixth inning.
Senior Tina Andreana pitched her second consecutive one-hit outing, this time going the full seven innings to earn the complete-game shutout. She struck out eight and walked four and continually baffled Maryland hitters with check swings weakly hit grounders.
Senior outfielder Ashley Sanchez joined Garcia and Santana with multiple hits against Maryland. Sanchez was 2-for-4 with two runs scored.

Holy mackerel! This cheap Hong Kong rip-off of KING KONG is totally out of control. If an all-star team of the best comedy writers of all time got together and wrote a script about a prehistoric ape man and a beautiful blonde jungle woman, it would be just like this movie - only not as funny. It's hard to describe exactly what makes this such a joy - I think it's partially the cultural disconnect between the Chinese filmmakers' worldview and the end product, which is clearly designed for export to western markets. The parts just don't snap together correctly. Scenes that would be mild cliches in an American film become towering comic set-pieces here. Witness the scene in which Chinese tough guy Danny Lee and wild-girl Evelyn Kraft frolic together with her pet leopard. I think I see what they were going for, but the result is so, so much more. I've never been so close to throwing up from laughter as when I first saw this film. You should totally watch it! From the director of OILY MANIAC and THE RAPE AFTER. (Lars)

Proper position designation is the foundation of an effective and consistent suitability and personnel security program. The process determines, through the evaluation of National Security and suitability requirements, what type of investigation is required and how closely an applicant or incumbent is screened for a position. In order to ensure a systematic, dependable, and uniform way of making position designations, OPM provides the Position Designation Automated Tool (PDT) for those individuals within agencies charged with position designation responsibilities. For a brief overview of the PDT, and the relationship of position designation to reform efforts, please see Federal Investigations Notice (FIN) 10-06 , Position Designation Requirements.
COMING SOON: An updated version of this Position Designation System and Tool will be provided soon for the purposes of re-designating positions in accordance with 5 CFR 1400.
(If you need help with the PDT tool, please contact Systems Access Support at 724-794-5612, extension 4600.)
Before using the PDT, designators should first develop a thorough familiarity and understanding of the PDS. The success and consistency of the PDT are directly connected to the user's understanding of the various possible selections for "suitability requirements" and "duties" available within the PDS. Without fully understanding these "suitability requirements" and "duties," users could inadvertently fail to make appropriate selections early in the PDT process, and this would impact the accuracy of the final position designation. A full understanding of the PDS and proper application of the PDT will ensure consistency.
Should you need access to a hard-copy version of the PDS, you may select the link below to download the most current version. Links to additional information regarding position designation requirements, a glossary of terms, and a "PDS Sample Survey" are also provided below. The "PDS Sample Survey" is a sample inquiry used to obtain necessary information for position designation from position managers, supervisors, or leads, when that information is missing from position descriptions, and it may be modified for agency use as needed.
If you have questions concerning position designation, please contact Suitability Adjudications at (724) 794-5612, extension 7400. If you are interested in Position Designation training, please view the Agency Training portion of the FIS website.
Section 731.106(a) of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations states, "agency heads must designate every covered position within the agency at a high, moderate, or low risk level as determined by the position's potential for adverse impact to the efficiency or integrity of the service." Section 731.106(c)(2) of Title 5, states, "all positions subject to investigation under this part must also receive a sensitivity designation of special-sensitive, critical-sensitive, or noncritical-sensitive, when appropriate." sensitivity levels are discussed further in Part 732 of Title 5.
This system is for position designation of National Security positions, positions in the competitive service, positions in the excepted service where the incumbent can be noncompetitively converted to the competitive service, and career appointments in the Senior Executive Service (SES).
The designation of covered positions* is outlined in section 731.106 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations. Every covered position must be designated at the low, moderate, or high risk level as determined by the position's potential for adverse impact on the efficiency and integrity of the service. As the level of authority and responsibility of a position become greater, character and conduct become more significant in deciding whether employment or continued employment would protect the integrity or promote the efficiency of the Federal service.
The designation of National Security positions is outlined in section 3 of Executive Order (E.O.) 10450, as amended, and in section 732.201 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations. Each position in the Federal service not designated as Non-Sensitive must be designated as Noncritical-Sensitive, Critical-Sensitive, or Special-Sensitive, depending on the degree to which, by virtue of the nature of the position, the occupant could bring about a material adverse effect on the national security. The nature of the position includes the incumbent's foreseeable need for access to classified information; under E.O. 12968, eligibility for access to classified information cannot be granted unless such access is clearly consistent with the national security. The nature of the position also includes the level of clearance required (i.e., confidential, secret, or top secret); under E.O. 12958, as amended, the level at which information is classified depends on whether unauthorized disclosure reasonably could be expected to cause "damage," "serious damage," or "exceptionally grave damage" to the national security.
Proper position designation is based on a combined assessment of the three prescribed levels of risk and the four prescribed levels of sensitivity (including the "non-sensitive" level). Position designation determines what type of investigation is required and how closely an individual is screened for a position.
In order to determine the proper designation of a position, the position description and any other necessary supplemental information (e.g. management and security office input) must be carefully evaluated to assess the nature of the position in terms of its clearance requirements or any other impact on national security as well as its impact on the efficiency or integrity of the service. The following four-step process will result in a final designation which, in turn, will dictate the investigative requirements for the position in question. (Note that words and phrases appearing as hyperlinks (shaded in blue font) on this page and throughout the following pages are linked to definitions in the Glossary.)
* As defined in 5 CFR 731.101, covered position means a position in the competitive service, a position in the excepted service where the incumbent can be noncompetitively converted to the competitive service, and a career appointment to a position in the Senior Executive Service.
Broad glossarial meanings for the terms automatic high-risk conditions, severe impact, moderate impact, and limited impact are to follow; however, to recognize their complete meaning in the chart in Step 2, each term should be evaluated against each of the other terms as defined by the associated bulleted examples/clarifying remarks in each duty's column. In other words, look at the particular duty, then evaluate the entire row of information to establish the scope of these terms within the context of the row. In so doing, you will determine the potential damage to the integrity and efficiency of the service and the public's trust.
The following provides further explanation for levels of supervisory control. These explanations have been supplemented by information found in the Introduction to the Position Classification Standards. Although the document only applies to General Schedule positions, the assessment of supervisory controls discussed in the document, and broken down into levels, seems well suited as a guide to simplify the adjustment for supervision in Step 3 of the Position Designation System. Specifically, Levels 2-1 and 2-2 would indicate "close technical supervision," Levels 2-3 and 2-4 would indicate "periodic, ongoing review," and Level 2-5 would indicate "limited or no supervision." In the following meanings, a general explanation is provided in bold italics, followed by a supplemental explanation adapted from information in the Introduction to the Position Classification Standards.
Occasional review from a perspective of major policy issues by a superior who likely has no relevant expertise in the technical aspects of the duties performed.
The supervisor provides administrative direction with assignments in terms of broadly defined missions or functions. The employee has responsibility for independently planning, designing, and carrying out programs, projects, studies, or other work. Results of the work are considered technically authoritative and are normally accepted without significant change. If the work should be reviewed, the review concerns such matters as fulfillment of program objectives, effect of advice and influence on the overall program, or the contribution to the advancement of technology. Recommendations for new projects and alteration of objectives usually are evaluated for such considerations as availability of funds and other resources, broad program goals, or national priorities.
Ongoing spot review from a perspective of policy and organizational concerns by a superior with expertise in the technical aspects of the duties performed.
The supervisor sets the overall objectives and resources available. The employee and supervisor, in consultation, develop deadlines, projects, and work to be done. The employee, having developed expertise in the line of work, is responsible for planning and carrying out the assignment, resolving most of the conflicts that arise, coordinating the work with others as necessary, and interpreting policy on own initiative in terms of established objectives. In some assignments, the employee also determines the approach to be taken and the methodology to be used. The employee keeps the supervisor informed of progress and potentially controversial matters. Completed work is reviewed only from an overall standpoint in terms of feasibility, compatibility with other work, or effectiveness in meeting requirements or expected results.
The supervisor makes assignments by defining objectives, priorities, and deadlines and assists the employee with unusual situations that do not have clear precedents. The employee plans and carries out the successive steps and handles problems and deviations in the work assignments in accordance with instructions, policies, previous training, or accepted practices in the occupation. Completed work is usually evaluated for technical soundness, appropriateness, and conformity to policy and requirements. The methods used in arriving at the end results are not usually reviewed in detail.
Continuing review of all work by a technical expert.
The supervisor provides continuing or individual assignments by indicating generally what is to be done, limitations, quality and quantity expected, deadlines, and priority of assignments.
The supervisor provides additional, specific instructions for new, difficult, or unusual assignments, including suggested work methods or advice on source material available. The employee uses initiative in carrying out recurring assignments independently without specific instructions, but refers deviations, problems, and unfamiliar situations not covered by instructions to the supervisor for decision or help. The supervisor assures that finished work and methods used are technically accurate and in compliance with instructions or established procedures. Review of the work increases with more difficult assignments if the employee has not previously performed similar assignments.
For both one-of-a-kind and repetitive tasks, the supervisor makes specific assignments accompanied by clear, detailed, and specific instructions. The employee works as instructed and consults with the supervisor as needed on all matters not specifically covered in the original instructions or guidelines. For all positions the work is closely controlled. For some positions, the control is through the structured nature of the work; for others, it may be controlled by the circumstances in which it is performed. In some situations, the supervisor maintains control through review of the work. This may include checking progress or reviewing completed work for accuracy, adequacy, and adherence to instructions and established procedures.

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories from Rwandaby Philip Gourevitch
1998 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction
Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
Winner of the George Polk Book Award
Winner of the Guardian First Book Award
Staff Pick
"I urge everyone to read this book. The cover shows a picture of serenity, a scene from the beach of Lake Kivu in Rwanda. The landscape is devoid of human beings and an empty chair sits on the sand. The title in red stands out starkly from this backdrop. The juxtaposition of beauty and brutality is a perfect introduction to this volume. As Robert Stone says, 'Like the greatest war reporters, he [Gourevitch] raises the human banner in hell's mouth, the insignia of common sense, of quiet moral authority, of blessed humor.' The message from this book is amazingly hopeful. Having a rough day? Read this book and be reminded of the worst and best that humans do to each other."
I just finished rereading We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families because after reading Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning I thought that the atrocities committed in Rwanda might make more sense to me. There are eerie similarities between a group of middle-aged Nazi inductees and the masses of machete wielding Hutus who committed atrocities in the name of Hutu Power. In a sense both books are simultaneously hopeful and grim. Both prove Hannah Arendt's notion of the banality of evil or my friend Andrew's favorite saying "everyday is your birthday when you're stupid." Not to be flip, but if you think it can't happen here, visit Cumming, Georgia and tell me how many African Americans you see. Ignorance ain't bliss if you're in the minority.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An unforgettable firsthand account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity.
This remarkable debut book chronicles what has happened in Rwanda and neighboring states since 1994, when the Rwandan government called on everyone in the Hutu majority to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Though the killing was low-tech — largely by machete — it was carried out at shocking speed: some 800,000 people were exterminated in a hundred days. A Tutsi pastor, in a letter to his church president, a Hutu, used the chilling phrase that gives Philip Gourevitch his title.
With keen dramatic intensity, Gourevitch frames the genesis and horror of Rwanda's "genocidal logic" in the anguish of its aftermath: the mass displacements, the temptations of revenge and the quest for justice, the impossibly crowded prisons and refugee camps. Through intimate portraits of Rwandans in all walks of life, he focuses on the psychological and political challenges of survival and on how the new leaders of postcolonial Africa went to war in the Congo when resurgent genocidal forces threatened to overrun central Africa.
Can a country composed largely of perpetrators and victims create a cohesive national society? This moving contribution to the literature of witness tells us much about the struggle everywhere to forge sane, habitable political orders, and about the stubbornness of the human spirit in a world of extremity.
"[Gourevitch's] compassionate and level-headed portrait captures the immense sadness and emptiness of a country that lost a tenth of its population in a single spasm of political violence, as well as the pervasive dread that Rwanda will likely experience such bloodshed again.
Gourevitch is particularly adept at systematically debunking the myths, widely circulated in the Western press, that shaped our early perceptions of what was happening in Rwanda: that the conflict was an age-old struggle between two distinct peoples bent on annihilating each other, and that this was merely another example — albeit a somewhat amplified one — of the usual 'African madness." In fact, Gourevitch writes, none of this was true. For starters, Hutus and Tutsis were sufficiently intermingled to the point that ethnographers no longer recognized them as distinct ethnic groups. In Rwanda in 1994, your identity was your politics, and the twists were many and strange; the man who coined "Hutu Power" and became one of its most rabid practitioners was born Tutsi and later acquired Hutu identity papers...." Scott Sutherland, Salon.com
"A staggeringly good book...Gourevitch's beautiful writing drives you deep into Rwanda, his brilliant reportage tells you everything that can be seen from an event beyond imagining or explaining....He drives you, in fact, right up against the limits of what a book can do." Tom Engelhardt, Philadelphia Inquirer
"[It is the] sobering voice of witness that Gourevitch has vividly captured in his work." Wole Soyinka, The New York Times Book Review
"I know of few books, fiction or non-fiction, as compelling as Philip Gourevitch's account of the Rwandan genocide....As a journalist [Gourevitch] has raised the bar on us all." Sebastian Junger
"The most important book I have read in many years...Gourevitch's book poses the preeminent question of our time: What — if anything — does it mean to be a human being at the end of the 20th century?...He examines [this question] with humility, anger, grief and a remarkable level of both political and moral intelligence." Susie Linfield, Los Angeles Times
"Thoughtful, beautifully written, and important...we want to pass it along to our friends, and to insist that they read it because the information it contains seems so profoundly essential." Francine Prose, Elle
"[Gourevitch] has the mind of a scholar along with the observative capacity of a good novelist, and he writes like an angel. This volume establishes him as the peer of Michael Herr, Ryszard Kapuscinski, and Tobias Wolff. I think there is no limit to what we may expect from him." Robert Stone
"The most important book I have read in many years...[Gourevitch] examines [the genocidal war in Rwanda] with humility, anger, grief and a remarkable level of both political and moral intelligence." Susie Linfield, Los Angeles Times
"His compelling account should be required reading for those probing the inner workings of modern states. But the queasy and the hero-worshipers should abstain." The Washington Post Book World, Jonathan Randal
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.
In April 1994, the Rwandan government called upon everyone in the Hutu majority to kill each member of the Tutsi minority, and over the next three months 800,000 Tutsis perished in the most unambiguous case of genocide since Hitler's war against the Jews. Philip Gourevitch's haunting work is an anatomy of the war in Rwanda, a vivid history of the tragedy's background, and an unforgettable account of its aftermath. One of the most acclaimed books of the year, this account will endure as a chilling document of our time.

Lawrence C. Longway, who double-dipped on housing tax exemptions from 2005 to 2010 in New York and Florida, has paid back the tax savings gained here over that period.
The Pamelia supervisor successfully submitted an application to Jefferson County Real Property Tax Services on Sept. 12 to repay $3,539.62 for tax savings he received during the five years he had a STAR tax exemption, along with a Homestead Exemption for his residence in Hillsborough County, Fla. That amount, which included an interest payment of 1 percent for each year, went to the state Department of Taxation and Finance. Mr. Longway also paid a $500 processing fee to the county tax department, Director Paul J. Warneck said.
In the eyes of New York state, Mr. Longway has remedied any conflict with having a STAR exemption, which should satisfy the situation in the eyes of Florida, said Mr. Warneck, who sent a letter to the Hillsborough County property appraisers office explaining that Mr. Longway has satisfied New Yorks demands.
Town supervisor since 2004, Mr. Longway received a STAR exemption for the residence he owned at 23803 Route 37 from 1999 through 2010, Mr. Warneck said. The Times previously reported Mr. Longway had had an exemption since 2004, but further investigation revealed he applied in 1999.
Mr. Longway and his wife, Virginia, still receive a Florida Homestead Exemption for the house they own at 1245 Acappella Lane, Apollo Beach. The couple received homestead benefits in Hillsborough County since 2005, and Mr. Longway previously has claimed to be a permanent resident there since June 1, 2004, on an application he submitted.
Mr. Warneck who has assisted other applicants whove inadvertently received benefits in New York and Florida said Mr. Longway may not have been cognizant of the conflict with the STAR exemption when he applied for tax relief in Florida. For those deemed to have willfully misrepresented information, stiffer punishments are assessed in New York and Florida. The latter state considers falsifying information a first-degree misdemeanor.
Since he applied in 1999, Im sure he doesnt know the requirements when he actually signed the form, Mr. Warneck said. I dont think it was a purposeful action.
But Mr. Longway still could face consequences from the Hillsborough County property appraiser office, which is conducting an investigation into the matter. If the office rules that Mr. Longway actually was a resident of New York during years he received tax savings, it would have the authority to recoup tax benefits by placing a lien on the Longways house on Tampa Bay. A call made to the property appraisers office was not returned Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Longway declined to comment Thursday.
Renouncing exemption benefits here will not affect Mr. Longways status as a voter or elected official from 2005 to 2010, said Jerry O. Eaton, Republican commissioner of the Jefferson County Board of Elections. Eligible voters are required to be considered primary residents at the municipality in which they reside, he said. But the Board of Elections is required to examine several criteria to make that determination, such as the status of an individuals residence, drivers license and income tax statements. Housing tax exemptions are not specified in the law.
The state Board of Elections told us his residency status for voting would have been even stronger from 2005 to 2010, because he lived in a house at that time, Mr. Eaton said, alluding to the fact that Mr. Longway sold his house in January. The board made a reasonable determination based on the evidence that he qualified to vote in his jurisdiction. He has a vested interest there because he owns multiple businesses, pays income taxes and has a New York drivers license.
Since January, Mr. Longway has claimed a commercial building in Pamelia that he owns to be his primary residence: Long-Park Tire at 23751 Route 342. The Board of Elections made that discovery from the petition Mr. Longway signed to enter the primary election as an incumbent to run for town supervisor. Because the town doesnt have a zoning law prohibiting such a residence, Mr. Longway was deemed an eligible voter by the board and allowed to participate in the election, in which he defeated challenger Scott Allen 149-94.

well the /etc/passwd file is the file where the user information is stored,when a new user is created information regarding the user like username,user ID , group ID,location of home directory,login shell etc is stored in the passwd file.
WHere as in /etc/shadow file information like encrypted form of password of a user,the day the password expires,whether or not the passwd has to be changed,minimum and maximum time between password changes and so on are stored.
basically speaking the passwd file stores general user info and shadow file stores user passwd info
