The mandate, valid for one year, was passed by 320 votes in the 550-seat Turkish parliament, it added. Turkey's deputy prime minister, Besir Atalay, said authorising the use of force in Syria is not a declaration of war but is intended as a deterrent. The vote came as Turkey resumed shelling Syrian government military positions on Thursday morning in retaliation for a mortar round which landed over its border killing five of its citizens. Turkish state media said artillery units based in the border town of Akcakale had begun striking targets inside Syria early this morning, and that the attacks were continuing

Where does that leave NATO? An attack on one (NATO member) is an attack on all (NATO members). If Turkey attacks first, this does not apply, but Turkey was attacked first, right? Or what?

RUC sounding at BGM 1/18 07z
Notes:A RUC sounding at BGM, approximately 75 miles west of the heavy snow band, indicated a deep, saturated layer in the dendritic snow growth zone (temperatures between -12 and -18 degrees C). The lapse rate was around 6.4 degrees C above the snow growth zone, in the layer where the RUC was forecasting the strongest lift. This combination of a deep snow growth zone and steep lapse rates in the zone of maximum lift was favorable for a period of heavy snowfall. Note that the heavy snow ended up being just east of this area, in the area where the frontogenesis band slowed its eastward progression.

BlackBerry App World forces $3 minimum price
updated 08:15 am EST, Thu March 5, 2009
BBerry App World Limits
RIM's just-unveiled BlackBerry App World will have significantly harsher restrictions on app prices and transfer rights than the iPhone's App Store, according to the developer FAQ. Where Apple allows apps that cost as little as 99 cents, RIM is setting the minimum price for a given app at $2.99. The reason for the difference isn't specified, though the move may be meant to address concerns raised by developers like Twitterrific creator Craig Hockenberry, who have warned that iPhone developers are often stifled by pressure to sell apps at the 99-cent mark.
However, the move also potentially discourages the development of smaller apps for the portal as well as temporary sales meant to spur sales. App World will still allow free apps but, without the 99-cent price point, may have a more difficult time supporting simple games and utilities from commercial developers.
Additionally, RIM specifically forbids downloading or running apps from a BlackBerry's microSD card slot and instead reserves them for internal memory. The restriction ostensibly prevents piracy but also limits the number and size of apps; the most internal storage on a BlackBerry is the Bold's 1GB of flash memory. It also complicates the ability to transfer apps to multiple phones.
In contrast, the iPhone and iPod touch lack removable storage but also have much larger built-in capacities. Apple also uses iTunes to enable apps on multiple devices without requiring additional direct downloads. [via CrackBerry]

Can Red Wine Cure Cold Sores?
An estimated 80% of the population are infected with herpes simplex type I, the virus that causes these unsightly eruptions around the lips.
The connection between cold sores and red wine is based on more than just folklore. Grape skins contain a chemical called resveratrol, whose natural function is to protect grapes from fungal infection. When a doctor learned that resveratrol could inhibit DNA synthesis — a process necessary for the herpes virus to replicate — he tested it in the lab and discovered that the chemical did indeed block the virus. Does this mean red wine is a cure for cold sores? Not exactly. But it is an example of how folk medicine may lead to clinical studies.
But it's possible that the drying effect of the alcohol in red wine combined with the tiny amount of resveratrol could reduce the duration of a cold sore. If you want to give red wine a try next time you feel a cold sore coming on, simply dot a cotton swab with red wine, and dab it on the developing blister every 4 hours. It's best to do this at the first signs of tingling or tenderness. Since the duration of a cold sore varies for each individual, it's difficult to predict how much quicker your sore may heal. Cold sores tend to disappear on their own within 10 days.
In the meantime, don't touch the sore or kiss anyone, and don't share drinking glasses, wash-cloths, towels, or anything else that might come in contact with the sore, because the virus can spread easily.
In case you were wondering, drinking red wine will not help a cold sore.

The No. 17 Nebraska women's basketball team claimed a No. 6 seed when the 64-team field for the 2012 NCAA Tournament was announced on Monday, March 12.
The Huskers, who finished the season with a 24-8 overall record as the Big Ten Tournament runner-up, will face traditional rival and No. 11 seed Kansas in the first round at Little Rock, Ark., on Sunday, March 18 at 6:30 p.m. (central).
The hosts from UALR earned the No. 14 seed as the Sun Belt Conference Tournament champions, and will play No. 3 seed Delaware (30-1) in the other first-round game at Jack Stephens Center on the UALR campus. The Blue Hens earned the automatic bid as the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and tournament champions.
"I'm excited for our players and our program," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said during the team's selection show watch party at the Hendricks Training Complex. "We're excited to be going to Little Rock, which is a drivable distance for our fans. We obviously know the Kansas program very well and have great respect for them and the Big 12 Conference. We know it will be a great challenge, but we're looking forward to being back in the tournament."
Nebraska, in its first year in the Big Ten, was one of a conference-record seven teams to earn bids in the NCAA Tournament, while Kansas was one of seven Big 12 schools to claim spots in the 64-team field.
The first-round game will mark a renewal of the longest running series in school history. Nebraska has played Kansas every season the Huskers have had a varsity women's basketball program, dating back to 1974-75. The Huskers and Jayhawks have squared off 80 times on the court, with Kansas owning a 49-31 all-time advantage.
However, Nebraska carries a 21-9 edge in the last 30 meetings dating back to the 1997-98 season.
Last season, as Big 12 Conference counterparts, Nebraska split with the Jayhawks, with the Huskers defeating Kansas, 75-61 in overtime on Jan. 16, 2011, at the Devaney Center. KU avenged the loss with a 77-61 win over NU in Lawrence, Kan., on Feb. 26, 2011, in the last meeting in the series.
If the Huskers can get past the Jayhawks and a second-round opponent, they would advance into the Des Moines Regional played at Wells Fargo Arena next weekend.

KGMI News Reporting
By Karen Taylor, Joe Teehan
WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. – Pacific International Terminals or PIT, the developer that hopes to build the Gateway Pacific Terminal, will pay roughly $1.6 million to settle an environmental group's complaint over non-permitted land clearing the company did at the site of the proposed terminal.
The lawsuit filed in 2011 accuses the company of violating part of the Clean Water Act by not responding to wetland disturbance in a timely manner.
The company, also known as SSA Marine, says technically it became an 'unnecessary' lawsuit, as they had already begun complying with orders from the Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Ecology to fix any damage to wetlands.
In their findings, the Army Corps of Engineers found the damage to be "minimal" and the violation "likely not intentional."
Over half of the money will go exclusively toward Puget Sound environmental restoration projects.
The other $800,000 will cover the plaintiff's legal fees.

On the other side of the river from Fort Yuma, the Civil War–period quartermaster depot resupplied army posts to the north and east and served as a distribution point for steamboat freight headed overland to Arizona forts. The 1853 home of riverboat captain G.A. Johnson is the depot's earliest building and the centerpiece of Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park. The residence also served as a weather bureau and home for customs agents, among other functions, and the guided tour through the house provides a complete history. Also on display are antique surreys and more "modern" modes of transportation like a 1931 Model A Ford pickup. You can visit a re-creation of the Commanding Officer's Quarters, complete with period furnishings. The Yuma Visitors Bureau is also here.

Michael C. Williams of Hawthorne starred in "The Blair Witch Project," which marks its 10th anniversary this month. / Stuart Bayer/The Journal News
Heather Donahue turns the camera on herself for her confession in "The Blair Witch Project." / Artisan Entertainment
Did you know?
- Hawthorne's Michael C. Williams co-created a "Blair Witch" spoof that will probably be released online this year as a series of webisodes. He appears in the comic shorts with former "Blair" co-star Joshua Leonard, co-directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, and producer Gregg Hale. Williams hopes the spoof will be a "cool gift" for the movie's fans on its 10-year anniversary.
- The simple, but horrifying, ending of "The Blair Witch Project" was almost changed. After buying the film at Sundance, Artisan Entertainment gave the directors additional funding and ordered reshoots. As Williams recalls, "They had me in the corner on a stick-man crucifix, they had me hanging, ridiculous stuff. We were laughing for three days, saying, 'This is never going to work!'" In the end, the studio agreed to stick with the original final scene.
- Williams' tears at the end of "Blair Witch" were the real thing. The movie's eight-day shoot in the Maryland woods was so stressful, the actor says, that by the time they filmed the last moments, "I just started bawling, because I knew it was over."
Ten years ago, Michael C. Williams was living in the spotlight, thanks to his turn as one of three doomed filmmakers in "The Blair Witch Project," the little horror flick that became one of the movie industry's biggest success stories.
Shot on an initial $25,000 budget, "Blair" went on to gross almost $250 million worldwide - and became a pop culture supernova.
Williams recalls being chased by paparazzi after appearing on "The Tonight Show." He and his co-stars partied with Britney Spears at the MTV Music Awards. None other than Steven Spielberg proclaimed himself a fan. Newsweek and Time simultaneously featured the film on their covers.
The high life, however, was short-lived.
These days, as the movie marks its 10-year anniversary this month, Williams' life is decidedly more ordinary.
Now 36, he has settled in Hawthorne as a proud father of two: He married his longtime girlfriend, Toni, at the height of the "Blair" hysteria. He's still acting, but over the years, roles have been so small and sporadic (the most recent was a guest spot on "Law & Order: SVU") that he's studying to become a guidance counselor.
Once called Hollywood's Next Big Thing, Williams is moving furniture to pay the bills.
It's the same job he quit a decade ago, on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
"The money I made from 'Blair' is certainly the most money I've ever made acting, and it hasn't been consistent," says Williams, relaxing on the tiny patio attached to his family's modest three-bedroom home. "So I have to work. I have no problem with that. I'm not scared of work."
"Hopefully," he laughs, "it'll make my lifelong story a little more interesting."
Clearly, Williams isn't living off a massive "Blair Witch" payday.
The three principal actors were paid just $1,000 each for the eight-day shoot, and although they did reap further financial rewards after the film blew up at the box office, it wasn't anything close to the $1 million that was reported.
Williams, whose soundman character wound up in a basement corner in the movie's creepy final scene, says he ended up with about $300,000 over the course of several years.
"From a film you'd never expected to make more than $500 a week, to make that kind of money, you can't shake a stick at it," he says. "The rumors would be nicer, but, oh well."
More surprising is that "Blair" didn't translate into an instant movie career for any of the cast members or filmmakers.
Follow-up films by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, who co-wrote and co-directed "Blair," haven't come close to matching their debut's success. Joshua Leonard, who played the cameraman who disappears in the woods, stars in this month's well-received indie comedy, "Humpday," but has had mostly supporting roles in films and TV. Heather Donohue, whose terrified, close-up monologue became the movie's most memorable scene, has reportedly quit acting altogether and is living on a northern California farm.
Williams has no idea why the "Blair" team didn't land their choice of gigs after their splashy breakthrough.
One theory is that the movie's no-budget, outside-the-box approach ticked off the major studios. Another is that the brilliant viral marketing campaign overshadowed the actors and directors.
Or maybe the film's realistic premise (that the faux filmmakers' disappearance was a true story) was too realistic: Many people - including show business veterans - thought the actors were just playing themselves.
"I've thought about it so many times," says Williams. "I have no idea what the answer to that question is. I wish I did because then I could go, OK, if that's the answer, then here's what I need to do."
Right now, however, Williams is concentrating on his "backup plan" by getting a master's degree in school counseling and guidance at the College of New Rochelle. He's also teaching acting to kids, both privately and at the Jacob Burns Film Center's new Media Arts Lab. Plus, he's trying to get his fledgling Big Blue Door Theatre Company off the ground.
And he's decided to make one very public pitch to the legendary director who once singled out his performance in "Blair."
DearMrSpielberg.com is Williams' open letter to the three-time Oscar winner. Spielberg told "Blair" co-director Daniel Myrick, during a 2001 visit to the "Minority Report" set, that Williams was a "good actor" who really "stood out."
Williams says the second-hand praise kept him going at times when he was depressed about his future in the business. Back then, he says, he wasn't confident enough to reach out to Spielberg, given that he had only one film to his name.
"I thought I'd just be the guy who hasn't done much and is hoping for a gift," he says. "Now, I feel legitimate. My résumé isn't the biggest, but I have clips and there's some diversity there."
He also has nothing to lose.
"I learned a lot from the experience of 'Blair Witch,' and the biggest thing I learned is that I just enjoy working with professionals," he says. "I enjoy the craft of acting. I love being on film sets. But it's not the end of the world if that doesn't happen."
Williams grabs a few hugs from his daughter Mia, 6, and son, Dean, 4, before heading off to work at the moving company.
"The most important thing is these two running around here," he adds. "As long as they're happy, I'm happy."

Rite Aid Statement for KOMO News' Story
Statement regarding KOMO News' story on prescription drug prices from Eric Harkreader of the Rite Aid Corporation:
Many factors go into drug pricing including cost of a location, utilities, the overhead to operate the pharmacy and the professional services that the pharmacist provides.
Just like a doctor, the pharmacist is there to provide expert advice and answer questions about patients' medications.
We monitor our chain drugstore competitors to help ensure we are competitively priced. Had these prescriptions been filled using Rite Aid's Rx Savings Program, two of the three would have been covered medications and cost $9.99. Rite Aid's free Rx Savings Program is available to all patients but is especially beneficial to those who are uninsured or underinsured.
By signing up, customers get access to more than 500 generic medications at $9.99 for a 30-day syupply and savings of up to 15% on thousands of generic and brand name prescriptions and other benefits.
Visit www.riteaid.com and click on "Rx Savings Program" for details. We also recommend our patients pick one pharmacy so the pharmacists is aware of all the drugs they're taking and can check for drug interactions.

I can't decide if you're trolling or not, but I'll bite.
My ipod touch is jail broken because I want to be able to compile and run any app I want, without it being vetted by apple first. I want to be able to retain apps that apple has pulled from the app store. I want to be able to run a full dev tool-chain on my ipod if I want to, have full directory access, and full control over *my device*. I want to be able to customize my UI more than apple's anemic built-in abilities. I don't want to get an android device because there are a lot of things I really like about iOS, but I do want to customize it a bit.
2 other points:
a) I don't need the warranty as much as I want these features, and you can sure as hell bet there are a lot of others like me!
but also, b) in respect to , some people also happen to like to hack their devices, make them work in ways they werent marketed to.
My xbox at home serves as a streaming media center more than as a game console, and it used to function as server before being retired in favor of a mac mini (both btw running debian linux). Back when I lived a college house my beer fridge had temp sensors purloined from a broken imac. The list goes on
Hacking is fun, mate!
True, it can be fun, though the few times I've altered a device to open features I was using packaged tools or instructions so I don't consider myself a hacker. I just think as much as it can bring to a device there is much more bad that comes along with it.
You can hack other devices like an AppleTV or PS3 but in the end most of the reasons you hack them could be done with more elegance on a cheap linux box running something like XBMC or Boxee. The big issue with hacking is the doors it opens and the general abuse of it with a mindset that, "what I'm doing is not really that bad, really."
People share mp3s all the time without a second thought because the culture has already embraced it as no big deal. Call me a prude but theft is theft and when people hack and then try to justify it with 1 or 2 minor legitimacies while also using it to do things like tether illegally or share apps with friends they are already guilty of stealing.
I have been guilty of it, and have seen others get ruined by it when they casually walk into a fed trap. Fortunately I've gotten my wake-up call by the misfortune of others, learned my lesson by observation instead of experience. Companies have a right to protect their products, afterall Apple wouldn't make an iPhone if there was no business in it.

College Football Videos
The Pitt athletic department could shell out as much as $310,000 to participate in the College Basketball Invitational.
But, depending on attendance, Pitt also could have a financial windfall from the event.
"Teams have made money off of this," said Ray Cella, a spokesman for the Princeton, N.J.-based Gazelle Group, which runs the CBI. "Depending on what they draw, they are going to make money. It's a misnomer to say it's a pay for play. It's not buying your way in."
Pitt (17-16), shut out from the NCAA Tournament and the National Invitational Tournament after a 13th-place finish in the Big East, is looking at the possible six-figure outlay — depending on how many games it hosts — after accepting a berth to the 16-team CBI.
"I'm not going to pretend this was our goal," coach Jamie Dixon said. "But this is where we are."
Pitt will host Wofford (19-13) at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Petersen Events Center in a game that will cost the athletic department $35,000, minus gate and concession receipts.
The CBI has a minimum ticket guarantee, the amount a school pays to host a game: The guarantees are $35,000 for first-round games, $50,000 for the quarterfinals and $75,000 per game for the semifinals and the best-of-three finals.
That means Pitt could spend nearly one-third of $1 million if it hosted three games through the semifinals, and two games in the finals. But anything over those costs, and Pitt will make a profit. Tickets are $20 apiece.
"The phones have been busy," athletic director Steve Pederson said. "We feel pretty good about being able to cover the cost of hosting the tournament here."
Unlike the NIT, the NCAA does not own and run the CBI, but allows its members to participate in the postseason tournament.
Pederson said Pitt plans to host as many games as possible. With a win over Wofford, the Panthers would host the Princeton-Evansville survivor Monday in the quarterfinals. The final four teams are then reseeded with the higher seeds hosting the semifinals.
"As long as we keep winning, we will keep hosting the games," Pederson said.
Attendance to the fifth-year CBI rises dramatically as the field shrinks.
The eight first-round games last year drew an average of 2,414 fans. The four quarterfinal games averaged 5,016 fans.
The semifinals averaged 6,275. The best-of-three finals between eventual champion Oregon and Creighton drew an average of 9,864 fans, including a CBI-record 12,381 when Creighton hosted the Ducks in Omaha, Neb.
Rhode Island drew only 1,115 fans for its 76-59 victory over visiting Miami (Ohio) last year, the second-smallest crowd of the eight first-round games in '11. But Greg Burke, URI's deputy director of athletics, said it was a positive event, even if the school lost money.
"We looked at it as a benefit to the basketball program," Burke said. "We were satisfied with the experience. We were happy to be playing in the tournament."
With half of Pitt's roster being freshmen or redshirt freshmen, Pederson said the Panthers planned all along to accept a CBI bid if they didn't get into the NIT.
"It was an easy decision and one that we made some time ago," he said. "This was the right thing to do."Additional Information:

Find Your PDA batteries By Brand
Select Your PDA batteries by Brand List Bellow.( Press "Ctrl+F" and enter brand will help you find easily )
The rule of thumb is to discharge your batteries fully then recharge each time. Most users do not do this! Instead they use their PDA/Handheld PC for a period of time less than a complete discharge and then charge it. This uses up the number of cycles that the battery can provide. The problem is that most devices do not fully discharge the batteries. Also, if you leave your unit plugged in there is a trickle charge going to the battery. Over time this may reduce the battery life due to overcharging. These units were not designed to be continuously charging for extended periods of time.
The NiCad and NiMH batteries are subject to what is commonly referred to as the memory effect. Basically it is a change in the battery's ability to charge fully based on not being completely drained when it is charged. The best solution is to periodically (perhaps monthly) fully discharge your batteries by running your unit until the unit will no longer turn on. Then fully charge it. This cycle should be done at least twice in a row to keep the batteries in good condition.
The Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries are designed to be kept charged. If the batteries are fully discharged they can reduce the number of charging cycles. Further whey they fail, your PDA may not work at all. I have seen this in notebook PCs as well.Disclaimer

Madison Street Opens While South Street Closes
Posted By News On March 23, 2011 @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
View Larger Map [1]
The West Area Relief Sewer Project continues in Knoxville this week and as one intersection reopens another will close. Madison Street at Dayton Street, which closed last week, opened back up yesterday and South Street at Jefferson Street will be closed as of today for the continuation of the project. The closing is expected to take several weeks while the contractor replaces sanitary sewer, storm sewer and paving at the location which was approved by the Knoxville City Council at their meeting Monday at a cost of $82,120.
City Manager Dick Schrad says the money will come from the GO bond fund and the purpose of the additional paving and sewer system is to connect the two repaired sections into one large adequate area.

Timeline of 2013 municipal election and contest
March 8: Mayoral candidate field is set. Incumbent Johnny DuPree faces fellow Democrats Thomas Garmon and Catherine Starr in the May 7 primary. Independent candidates Nathan Jordan, Shawn OHara, Clyde Stewart, and Ward 4 Councilman Dave Ware vie for mayor.
May 7: Democratic primary is held. Incumbent DuPree bests Garmon and Starr by more than 2,400 votes.
May 9: Three city council candidates Derrick Ware, Ward 1; Petra Arnold-Wingo, Ward 2; and Kavaji Beverly, Ward 5 are certified to be on the ballot for the June 4 general election by the Hattiesburg Election Commission. The three candidates had questions raised about their eligibility due to signatures on their qualifying petitions. The commission votes 4-1 to certify the three candidates.
May 22: Ward 1 candidate J.C. Herrington files an injunction in Forrest County Circuit Court seeking to halt the general election. The suit states the election commission acted wrongly in certifying independent candidates Derrick Ware, Petra Arnold-Wingo and Kavaji S. Beverly, and the three should be removed from the general election ballot.
May 28: Circuit Court Judge Robert Helfrich recuses himself from presiding over the Herrington injunction. The Mississippi Supreme Court appoints Circuit Judge David H. Strong, of McComb, to preside over a lawsuit. The hearing on Herringtons injunction is set for June 3, the day before the municipal general election.
June 3: Judge Strong dismisses Herringtons case, saying Herringtons claims were without proof, and dismissed the matter.
June 4: Hattiesburg general election held. After returns from the citys 14 precincts were counted, Ware led by 148 votes. But when absentee votes were tabulated, DuPree gains the lead with 33 votes. 115 affidavit ballots remain to be counted.
June 5: City Hall left unlocked with ballot boxes in an open vault. No seals on the boxes were broken and officials resume counting the ballots.
June 7: Remaining affidavit ballots are counted, giving DuPree a 37-vote lead over Ware, 4,775 to 4,738. The Ware campaign requests to conduct a ballot inspection to discover if irregularities in votes cast exist.
June 17: After five business days spent inspecting ballots, Wares team of attorney David Ott and elections consultant Pete Perry combed over more than 700 affidavit and absentee ballots. DuPree requests an inspection and begins poring over ballots.
June 24: Ware files a petition of challenge in Lamar and Forrest counties, contesting the general election results and alleging around 600 absentee and affidavit ballots cast should not have been counted. DuPree said he disagrees with Wares allegations. Fellow mayoral candidate, Nathan Jordan, also files suit in circuit court, alleging he and other candidates were omitted from certain ballots. Forrest County Circuit Court Judge Robert Helfrich and Lamar County Circuit Court Judges Anthony Mozingo and Prentiss Harrell recuse themselves from hearing the cases. The Mississippi Supreme Court appoints Judge William F. Coleman to preside over the case. A conference hearing for Ware, Jordan and DuPrees attorneys is set for July 8. The trial on the election contest is set for July 23 in Forrest County Circuit Court.
July 8: Attorneys meet with Judge Coleman in Forrest County Circuit Court. Wares attorneys request to subpoena city cellphone records alleging DuPree aides were improperly using their publicly-paid city cellphones to campaign for the mayors re-election. DuPree attorneys request for a more definite statement of Wares allegations is granted by Judge Coleman.
July 15: DuPree attorneys file a motion for summary judgment, asking Judge Coleman to rule in their favor. DuPrees attorneys argue Wares allegations are too vague.
July 16: Wares attorneys file a more definite statement, clarifying allegations against DuPree and election commission officials, saying they committed voter intimidation and fraud. More than 20 subpoenas are issued calling as witnesses: Johniece DuPree, wife of DuPree; John Brown, former assistant to the mayor; Chinika Hughes, city public relations coordinator; Clemon Terrell, Parks and Recreation director; City Clerk Eddie Myers; Deputy City Clerk Kermas Eaton; Forrest County Chief Deputy Charles Bolton; and Forrest County Deputy Samuel Lindsey.
Dave Wares allegations against Johnny DuPree and the election commission center around affidavit, absentee and curbside voting ballots that were improperly marked or filled out, and if those votes were not counted Ware would have won the election. Wares attorneys will work to prove wrongdoing or fraud, which will negate the election.
DuPrees attorneys have made the case that Wares allegations merely sum up to technical irregularities, which would not call the results of an election into question.
In Wares more definite statement, which clarified his legal argument and allegations against DuPree and the commission, he outlines the major points of his case:
The issue of 36 absentee ballots cast by inmates at the Forrest County Detention Center, case documents state were not properly mailed to the inmates and were altered when the City Clerk received the ballots back.
That no oaths of office were administered to poll managers, or signed oaths of office could not be produced for City Clerk Eddie Myers and deputy clerks.
That DuPree and his representatives and poll managers committed improper voter assistance, intimidation, and interference in certain voting precincts.
More than 500 absentee and affidavit ballots that were counted, which failed to meet requirements governing how the ballots are to be signed, marked and witnessed.
That poll managers and election officials willfully violated the mandatory provisions of the election laws pertaining to the conduct of the election and the counting of ballots.

CONYERS -- Hillphoenix, a refrigeration company with a history that goes back over two decades in Conyers, broke ground on a new facility Thursday, half a mile from its current location.
Hillphoenix is constructing a 500,000-square-foot facility at the corner of Gees Mill and Sigman roads. The new facility allows the company to consolidate its operations, which now take place in three locations in Conyers and one in Covington.
Of the three existing buildings in Conyers, two are leased, and leases will not be renewed next year, said Trey Cown, vice president and general manager of Hillphoenix. The company will retain the one other location at 709 Sigman Road and the location in Covington because it owns the buildings and can use the space for storage and some manufacturing.
Hillphoenix is the leading producer of refrigeration products for North America, supplying both refrigeration systems and cases to grocery chains such as Publix, as well as retail businesses such as Target and Walmart.
"You see our products every day," said Bill Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Hillphoenix, at a reception at the Georgia International Horse Park on Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking.
Johnson said it became apparent with the remarkable growth in the company that it needed a new location.
"We've tripled in size in the last five years," he said.
The Conyers location is the headquarters for the company, which has 11 locations in the United States, one in Mexico and one in Denmark. Hillphoenix in Conyers employs more than 900 people, almost a third of the 3,000-plus employee base for the company.
Cown said employees will move to the new location, and should the company continue to grow, positions in manufacturing, engineering and support personnel will be added.
"This does set us up for future growth," said Cown.
The new facility will allow the walk-in cooler division and the refrigeration and power systems division to be housed in the same location. The company will also add a design center and showroom and will be expanding its research and development area and learning center.
Cown said Hillphoenix's parent company, Dover, is investing more than $33 million for a 15-year build-to-suit lease, with the option of three five-year renewals, for the project.
"We could be here for 30 years," Cown said.
Cown said several factors weighed in the decision to choose Conyers as the location to expand. Most notably, the 52-acre site is "pad-ready," he said, meaning the development of the land had already taken place. The first step in the project is pouring a concrete slab, which Cown expects to take place in the next few weeks, weather permitting.
Cown said Rockdale County offered "pretty substantial tax incentives" over the next 10 years in property tax abatements. Hillphoenix also negotiated with Snapping Shoals EMC for more competitive utility rates.
Completed road improvements at the intersection of Gees Mill and Sigman roads also aided in the decision to expand in Conyers, Cown said, and Rockdale County is continuing to work with the state Department of Transportation to obtain grants to upgrade roads at Gees Mill Road and Old Covington Highway.
Road improvements assist in allowing easier access for employees going to and from work, Cown said.
At the ribbon-cutting reception, Johnson praised the city of Conyers and Rockdale County for their cooperation.
"It was important that we got those types of commitments," Johnson said.
The Rockdale County School System will also incorporate courses designed to train students in skills required to build Hillphoenix products, Cown said. The courses will be offered at the Rockdale Career Academy.
"It will give the students more opportunities for potential jobs and give the company more opportunities to bring in skilled employees," Cown said.
Cown, a Newton High School graduate who has worked with Hillphoenix since 1995, said the new facility will further the company's efforts to build more energy-efficient products and shift to natural refrigerants.
"It allows us to be more efficient in our manufacturing, and it will be a really nice work environment for the employees and allow us to meet our sustainability goals and reduce our carbon footprint," he said.
The roots of Hillphoenix extend back to the Phoenix refrigeration company, opened in Conyers in 1988. The company merged with Hill refrigeration, from New Jersey, in 1994 and became Hillphoenix.
Cown said the company has thrived because of strong customer service and innovations in technology.
"(Our success is due to) our 'customer-centic' approach and our continuing investment in advanced technology for the refrigeration industry," he said.

text: Chicago Cops Seek Groom in Bride's Slaying He allegedly told his sister about 'bad fight' on wedding night By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted May 16, 2012 1:43 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (10) (Newser) – Police near Chicago have issued an arrest warrant for a bridegroom whose new wife was found stabbed to death in a bathtub shortly after their Friday wedding, reports the Chicago Tribune. Arnoldo Jimenez, 30, hasn't been seen since the family of Estrella Carrera found her body in the tub on Sunday, still clothed in the sequined cocktail dress she'd worn on her wedding night. Jimenez is charged with first-degree murder. A sister of Carrera tells AP that Jimenez phoned his own sister and told her that he left his wife bleeding after a "bad fight." Jimenez's sister reportedly told Carerra's family of the call. This undated photo provided by the Burbank, Ill., police department shows Arnoldo Jimenez.

Here comes a big news and this has everything to do with whatever I have been talking on Startup Meme about Privacy, confusion, checking who signs up and verification. The Computer World reports of a Russian hacker by the name of Kirllos has a mammoth 1.5 million Facebook accounts at his disposal. And guess what, the guy has them out on a loot sale [more on this form my friend Jadoon].
The news came forth when a few researchers were shocked to comes across reports of this hacker selling these credentials in bulk on a forum. The price he charged was between $25 to $40 for every 1,000 accounts. 1.5 million accounts is the number he owns and that translates to around 0.33% of the current users present on the social network. I have my mouth open, how could he get all those accounts? Oh please don't tell me made all those on his own, he has definitely hacked each one of those very cleverly or even by spamming users with bait links to steal their credentials.
This isn't anything new and many hackers have been selling accounts for a long time but this is seriously being done at a very very low rate. I mean the price translates to less around 2 cents per credential! Correct me if I am wrong but that might very well have been done to avoid mass transaction of credit online, given he has already sold over 700,000 such accounts. I am just thinking about the bulk of spam profiles that are out there, and those are just with one user. I bet there are many other hackers out there with more of such profile in their armory.
I have warned all our readers and everyone else I come across to never ever click on any link that is even remotely suspicious. Especially if it is in your messages, many have fallen prey to this and will continue to do so. To ensure that this message gets across far and wide share this post across the Web.

Chapter Three
Now if there's one thing that I don't enjoy being around, it's Drea. She's got this extremely preppy attitude that you just get annoyed by. It's not that I don't like her, it's just her attitude that I get fed up by, but Ryan wanted me to pick her up for him, and that's what I get for having a friend whose a smooth talker to every girl he sees.
Ryan most likely is doing to try and get Carry jealous, but it's not going to work, obviously. "I don't know what type of game your pulling Ryan, but it's not going to work," Carry's face and eyes said so agitatedly.
Well, some other useful piece of information you might need to know is that the Road is what you think it might be, an extremely long road with a bunch of parking space and stores, where kids or adults would go shopping, eating or watch a movie, etc. Anything that you can possibly think of was on the Road, from video arcades to strip joints, or gentleman's clubs.
As we drove down the road with the street filled with about hundreds of cars leaving to parties or home, where ever most people now-a-days go to after their down with shopping, etc. I was wondering where that girl was; I wouldn't doubt that she was at some bar getting drunk before she comes over to have sex with Ryan as she normally does.
"So where is she, Ryan," Carry asked impatiently after ten minutes of driving around constantly.
I heard his phone vibrate gently in his left. A slight pause was before Ryan's answer. "She said she's going to meet us at the movies."
I sighed. "Fine." I drove off the highway onto a back road that leads to the only movie theater in town. Does she always do this? Of course, it's Drea, what do you expect, that in every single novel you read there's always a perfect world. No, obviously not.
I was pretty angry that Drea moved locations and made me waste gas. After all she wasn't the one paying for it. Well, anyway, I just wanted to have a good time tonight. I didn't want argue with anyone right now. I needed something to calm down my nerves from earlier. Everything was getting to the point where I was getting more, and more upset with things. I believe it was the reason because they were always wanting me to do things for them constantly, but for the last few months, I have not talked to anyone other than Carry and Ryan, so I could not understand why that might be the reason.
Kids were already getting on the edges of the streets for the Midnight Races, and that's something I didn't want to get caught up in, because I don't have the money, and I don't want to die horribly. It was a shame to see a bunch of unsuspecting kids to lose their lives and money in an unfortunate accident. It's funny really, because I always know whose going to die; when and where, and how. I find it a useful skill to give the people a warning ahead of the race, but, of course, they won't listen to me for several reasons. The first is because I'm Timmy Carter, outcast, the 'nobody' in the shit hole. The second reason is well because they just don't like me, but it's all good because karma takes vengeance on the sevenfold.
I hurried along the edge of the street to avoid traffic, along the shoulder only to find myself caught up behind a truck whose driver was hitting on some hookers to try and get some action. I swerved around him, making Carry bump into me, and causing Ryan to jump to the other side of the car.
"Would it kill you to be careful," Carry asked in an annoyed voice by my aggressive driving, but she knew I was upset and was attempting to keep her cool.
"No, I'm just trying to get some excitement going on." I replied this most sinisterly than I implied to. I got shivers along the edge of my spinal cord.
"Well, warn us next time," Ryan said from the back seat.
"Yeah, would you?" Carry this time.
"Sure, I'll try my best." It was my turn to speak.
I drove into the parking lot of the movie theater not to long later. To my surprise, it wasn't full as I expected. There was about one quarter of the lot filled out. I found this to be good, because I don't like when there's so many people at the theater. They never know when to scream in horror films as if every single door opening will release the cheap pop-up that comes out to attempt to give you a decent scare, but fails to do so, unless you are weak of mind, then in that case, you're going to have the best damn scare Hollywood has to offer since the 1980's. Yeah, I believe you are aware of what I'm explaining. I'm pretty sure that it's occurred to you at least once or twice in your life.
It must been almost midnight for there to be no kids, and/or people here, because the drag races were about to start in a few minutes. I didn't mind it really. I've been in a few of the races before, and won some money, but after the accident with my father, I never really found myself that out going as I normally was. People I used to be friends with some of the drag racers, but now I don't even talk to them anymore.
"You ok, Timmy?" Carry asked with a voice of concern.
"Yeah, man, are you alright," Ryan asked. "You haven't been yourself ever since we left the house."
"I'm ok," I replied, hoping to give the illusion that I was ok, and that everything was alright. "I was just in my own world just now."
"Oh, ok," Carry replied, disappointingly. I know why she was disappointed too. She wanted me to be more open and out going again. Carry didn't want me to be all confined in myself, and bottle up my emotions like I normally did, and then take it out of someone, especially her. I didn't mean to do it, honestly, but it's just sometimes I can't control what I do.
I looked at her and grinned slightly. "I'm ok, honestly."
"You better be," Carry smiled softly. "Because tonight is when we all are going to have fun and enjoy ourselves." She threw her arms around me. I knew Ryan was watching carefully, but I didn't really care at that moment.
"Yeah, man, I'll buy some drinks," Ryan said placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I'll even drink to have fun and keep you happy," Carry's cheek was right next to mine. It was warm and smooth; something that I haven't felt in a long time.
I pulled up in an empty parking spot. "Thanks guys, but you don't have to drink, Carry." I didn't like her drinking. It made me feel bad that I drank occasionally right in front of her and she had to join in so she wouldn't be a buzz kill. I've told her countless of times that she didn't have to drink. Ryan would encourage her not to drink, but she didn't listen to us. "Now where's Drea?" I asked as we exited my car.
"She's inside waiting for us," Ryan replied, checking his phone, and replying a text. "Oh, wait here she comes."
Drea was coming alright. She stepped out of the movie theater and stood in front us with a sly grin on her face, that I was only able catch. With her long brown hair, and blue eyes, she cast a spell on most people that are just too ignorant to realize who she really; an inconsiderate bitch. Her figure was probably the only honest thing about herself; slender with a slight curve, that looked she was slightly starved, but then again, I feel no pity for her, because I once over heard her that she was making herself throw-up her lunches and dinners for some modeling gig downtown.
"Carry…Ryan," Drea exclaimed happily. She took the liberty of hugging them, getting returned by an embrace as well. She looked at me and smiled. "Timmy, you're here as well; what a decent surprise." Drea looked happy to see me. "I'm glad you're not at home all alone."
"Yeah, I decided to come outside for a change," I replied, politely enough.
"Cool, so what are we going to watch tonight, Ryan?"
Ryan, who was drooling all over Drea, answered after snapping of the trance. "Well, I was hoping to see something on the spot."
I wasn't too thrilled hearing that. Ryan didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. Of course, I wasn't going to just tell him in front of his crush, because that would've been "rude" as my mother had once pointed out a long time ago. Even though, I hated Drea's guts, I had to control myself because Ryan was most likely trying to get with her and Carry wasn't going to be too excited if Ryan was all over her again.
As we walked down the cooled hall of the movie theater, the voice of people excited to see certain movies that were in the main-stream at the time. It always fascinated me how everyone could just follow everyone else instead of being themselves and doing their own thing. Ah, well, I shouldn't really be worrying about what everyone else does.
Carry was trying to get me away from Ryan and Drea, because, from what I can see, they were about to start their flirting routine which lead into Ryan ditching us, and going off with Drea to some alley for some cheap sex; and as I've mentioned before, I'm not going to point it out just (as straight forth as possible) I'm not a dick.
As we walked into the theater, just moments after choosing some cheese chick-flick movie, I took the liberty of finding a seat to myself around the middle section of the seating-area. If I was going to watch a movie about some romantic getaway on a boat, I wanted to be alone because I don't hate the sound of girls 'awing' all the time.
"Mind if I join you," Carry said, sitting down next to me before I could have gave my response, which, of course, would've been no. She had a little drink in her hand and popcorn. Carry was the kind of person that didn't give up that easily, which was pretty good…in certain situations.
As the movie started, the lights began to dim down, and Carry sat snug against me. I didn't mind it really; mainly because she was my friend, but the only thing that bugged me was that she liked me, a lot from what I can tell. "Popcorn?" Carry offered holding up a little piece of popcorn.
"Sure," I replied with a grin, trying not to seem too annoyed by her.
"Well, open up," Carry grinned beautifully.
I opened my mouth slightly to receive the popcorn piece, but knowing Carry, she always had some sort of joke in mind, so I observed quickly on the piece, seeing if she didn't put anything on it. Well, it was in my mouth before I can spot anything.
"Thank you," I replied, happily. You know what; maybe hanging with her isn't so bad. Wait, what I am saying…never mind…
"You're welcome, Sweetheart," Carry is a sweet girl; in fact, I think too sweet towards me. I had nothing against her really. I just didn't really feel the same way she felt towards me. "So what's this movie called?" Her voice was soft as she leaned on my arm.
Her hair felt soft against my skin. The warmth of her presence and affection towards me was indeed an interesting and most intriguing feeling. I've never really felt this, how do you say it, safe with someone.
"I believe it's called…Days in the Scene," I replied, allowing Carry to adjust on my arm, until she felt comfortable. I didn't mind it really. I used to let all of my friends that were girls rest on my shoulder, but that was such a long time ago. It felt really weird having a girl on my shoulder again. It was relaxing at that, almost blissful.
"Oh, what's it about?"
"Who knows, Carry; there's only one way to find out."
As we sat there, waiting for the movie to start, I felt there was a tension between Carry and I, but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I felt her against me, so majestically sweet. "Timmy, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go ahead and ask," I replied, relaxingly.
"What do you think about me?" This was a question she asked frequently with me. I'm not sure why she was so persistent with trying to get me to like her so much. Of course, I liked her, but not as a girlfriend. Maybe later on as I begin to get over the loss of my father; things are too complicated for me at the moment.
"You should know," I replied softly and respectfully, hopefully not sounding harsh on the reply. "I tell you all the time." I chuckled slightly.
"I know, but I know you're holding something inside, something that you don't want to tell me. Sweetheart, I know you don't want to date me, but I know you like me a lot." Her voice was soft and sweet, like honey on a summer's Saturday morning when you spread it on a honey wheat toast right before you add the jelly. It was a pleasant delight hearing the way she said that, so water like to the ear.
That took me off guard. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting that. "I don't know what to say."
"Timmy, you don't have to say anything. I know what you're going through. You see, Hon', I've been through my own set of trouble too. You're not alone in this situation."
I had completely forgotten about what had happened to Carry, but I didn't realize it. If you're curious about what happened to Carry, I will explain to you, though the memory is vague in the back of my mind. I couldn't help but feel that it was all my fault because I had promised Carry, since we were kids, that I'd protect her from whatever harm came, and I let something terrible happen.
There were several signs that it was happening to her, but I refused to listen. The situation must have taken many years till I snapped out of my trance and I was forced to do something that I hated to do. Something that was terrible in many ways.
I recall the day she came running to my house, through the back roads that connected my neighborhood from mine. She came when I was outside playing some catch with my little brother, who was taken away from us, but that's another story to be told at a later date.
Carry ran into my backyard and threw her arms around me, he eyes filled of sorrow and agony. Her sobs were a horrible sound to take in, especially from Carry, who I considered more than a friend at the time. I didn't understand why she was crying so much; it was just a complete shock to me.
I brought her into the house, in arms up to my room. I held her close as she sobbed franticly. I remember her eyes being a blood shot, dulled out baby green color. I've never seen them like that. I may add that it was such a horrific sight, seeing one of your close friends suffering like that. The sight was almost scaring, if there is a way to describe it simply.
"I can't take this anymore." That is the line I heard Carry cry several times from those cut up lips. "I can't take this anymore, Timmy. I can't let him touch me like that again." Need I inform you, that she did not imply that in a sexual way, though for some reason there is a sense of doubt when it comes to that part of the subject, but what she was trying to say is her father abuses her. "He's gone to far this time," Clawing into my chest, with her long nails that were paint a red.
"Well, what did you expect, Sweetheart," I replied, rubbing her back, trying to sooth her. "You and I both knew that it would get worse. I'm just sorry that I wasn't there to stop it."
"It's OK." Carry stuttered, but I knew that it wasn't OK. How could I let this happen? "You were busy; what could you've done." I knew her father did that to her, but to the point of bleeding and bruising all over the body, this was too intense. I wasn't sure what to do. What can I do? The deed has already been done.
"Carry, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there." I felt an eating sensation deep inside the depths of my stomach; a horrible carving agony that bore through the edges of my stomach. I believe it to be guilt now, but for all I know I just felt bad, as you can see.
"What could've you done? You were all the way over here," Carry replied, holding the tears, which ate at her eyes, away.
The urge for revenge was in the atmosphere. Deep bubbling sensations boiled at the bottom of the pit of my stomach; this rage began eating at the top of the back of my head; like a headache that would never seize to stop the torment of a consecutive amount of time.
I burst out the door as Carry whipped her tears. I was sick of his foul games, sick of all the shit that he's put Carry through. "Timmy," Carry's voice cried out from behind me, but I ignored it.
I was so determined to teach Carry's father a lesson that I had forgotten about everything; who he was to begin with, what he can do, what he was capable of doing; everything went black around the goal of teaching that man a lesson for hurting Carry.
I ran through the backyard of my house, past the gate that led to the small alley way that connected Carry's neighborhood from mine…
"Timmy," Carry's voice said from my left ear. She had been trying to get my attention ever since I drifted into flashback. Of course, her expression wondered if I had been paying attention. Honestly I completely had drifted off, so I can't really back up anything or recall what she was talking about. "Where you listening to me," she questioned in concern. "Because it looked like you completely spaced out on me."
"I'm sorry, Carry," I just couldn't help, but drift off, it happens all the time."
"Yeah, I know. I'm surprised that you haven't crashed when you were driving home from school."
"I hear you on that, but I don't know why it happens. It's been happening a lot more frequently, as I started separating from people."
"Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?"
I didn't answer. I remained in silence and Carry gave me the "Oh, I understand." look, but I know I had to answer the question, because she needed an answer. Everyone deserves answers weather the response in good or bad.
The movie had ended later on, and as usual, Ryan and that other…girl…went off for some alone time, and have some "fun" as most kids were calling the act of having sex with each other.
Well, getting back on track, I was in the car with Carry, as we are normally, because we always end up in this situation of thick atmosphere and oppression. Sometimes I really wish we can go back to the old times where Carry and I were running through the alley ways trying to stay out of trouble, though we'd be stealing people's fruit from their trees.
"Carry, when I lost my father there wasn't much I can do about it." I said to break the uncomfortable silence that was filled by the mild clicks of the cell phone in Carry's hands. "Many times I wish that I had not do what I done to your father; we wouldn't be in the situation we're in if it wasn't for me."
"Sweetheart, please understand that you did nothing wrong." Carry replied setting her phone down, which is rather rare for her to do, because she's addicted to that thing. I never really understood why girls were always so into their cell phones, as if they were obsessed with them. No, that's a bit under exaggerated; it was like the cell phone was part of them. Yeah, that seems appropriate for the subject.
"Why, Carry, how?" I raised my voice over the inner pain building up. I didn't intend on the action I just did, but what could I do. "If it wasn't for me getting so easily upset over what your father did to you, my father would've been alive. It's my entire fault." Tears ran down my cheeks in steady streams of clear liquid that gleamed in the light post's dim lighting.
"Timmy," Carry looked at me suddenly, in shock with the drastic shade of worrisome expressions on her beautiful face. "Calm down, Hon', you need to calm down. I don't want you getting mad over something that happened several years ago." Her arms were around me in the next seconds elapse.
The softened embrace of comfort that held me so soothingly and filled me with a sense of living was once in my reach once again. I didn't realize how "cold" I have become towards everything that I had forgotten what it was like to feel. Everything was so cold, the light, gentle drizzle of icy rain that came from the clouds of dim grey above, crawled up my spine for the last six years, eight months, and fourteen days, that cold was all I knew how to feel; what I learned to feel.
Carry's embrace did not loosen as I sat there in shock. The sweat ran down the side of my temple and forehead along with those tears that have swelled so much in my eyes. The streams kept pouring out as the night drifted on. After so long, she still cared for me, and I've done nothing, but neglect her, and treat her as if she meant nothing to me, like any other object that was just lying around when I strolled on by.

Stephon Marbury Car Crashes During StarburyTV
by Robert Littal | Posted on Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Did he just leave the scene of a car crash with his stark raving looney ass. My fucked up insurance would not prevent me from finding his need to be institutionalized ass and suing him and the devil
Dude is crazy as a fox!! Where's his family?? He needs therapy!!! Maybe losing his dad did this to him
Whatever he is up in smashing his car, would be not intentional.

The Jamison Mill Trail System is a 6 mile, moderate to strenuous, interconnecting multi-use trail for hikers and bicyclists. The backbone of the trail system consists of three main interconnecting loops, to which are connected various trail segments. Trails vary from narrow footpaths to wide fire roads and are marked by trees painted with differently colored diamonds that correspond with the trail map.
Jamison Mill Park is named for the mill that was located nearby before the construction of Philpott Dam. Two interpretive stops along the trail, Robert 'Bob' Carter's homesite and the previous site of Jamison Mill, bring to life the rich history of the community that lived in the vicinity of the orginial mill during the early to mid 1900's.
Allow at least 3 hours to complete the trail system.
