In this time where everybody always wants to seek a way to ask for more, we congratulate the Monroe City Council for holding the line on taxes.
The council plans to hold the line on millage rate for the 2012 tax year. The final vote is next month.
That would mean the council has held the line on property taxes since 2009, despite a decrease in total property values.
Total assessed property value in 2012 was $387 million, a decrease of $336,000 from the 2011 property valuation, city administrator David Barnes said.
The city has done well financially, building a good surplus. With that in mind, there should be a point where the council - and the administration - considers not just holding the line on millage rates, but actually decreasing them.
Property taxes bring in about $4 million a year, and in the bigger picture of the city's budget, that's a significant sum. But it's only one component of the total revenue.
Property owners - and taxpayers - in Monroe look for the day that the City Council and administration start living as lean as businesses have been forced to do in this economy.
The council has started the work by holding the line - but many efficiencies in government are still to be achieved.

Hey TT,
I'm in the process of changing my driver & have settled on the D3 head. I have been fitted by my pro (with Trackman) and am happy with the shape of the shot with the D3 9.5 degree in D4 setting with the Diamana S+ Blue 62.
Before I purchase via GolfStoreEurope - I was just wondering how ordering it at 44 inches would affect the swingweight, stiffness and anything else I'm forgetting?
(It is likely that I will opt for the Aldila RIP Phenom 60 Stiff cut to 44 inches if that makes any difference to the answer)
Many thanks for your feedback & help
Hi Jason,
Have to admit to being a little confused as to why, after being fit on Trackman and being happy with the shape shot from the Diamana S+ Blue 62, you are then looking to order a different shaft.
It would be impossible to tell how an Aldila RIP Phenom 60 S-flex cut to 44" would perform differently to a Diamana S+ Blue 62 at 45" without seeing you swing with both shafts. It could alter your strike pattern and change launch conditions drastically.
Given that you are looking to order a different shaft and a different length to the one you were fitted for, it could even be the case that the 913D2 would perform better than the 913D3 head.
We would recommend that you have another discussion with your fitter before proceeding.
Hope this helps.
Hi Neil,
Thanks for the advice... my fitting is not yet fully complete... I'm waiting on a RIP Phenom shaft to arrive to test also. I was also testing the TMAG R11s with their 'made for' Phenom which I really liked the feel of more so than the Diamana but the 913 head is significantly better to my eye. Last driver change was the 907D2 which is in the bag since 2008 so I place a great deal on the feel & visual set up of the club.
Will just have to play around on Trackman once the other shaft arrives & no doubt we'll get an optimal combo.
Many thanks
Glad to hear you are carrying on to make sure you have the optimal fit and totally agree that the visual set up is a key consideration.
Keep us posted on progress!
Best regards
Finally got the final fit for the 913. Went with a D3 head with Aldila RIP Phenom 60 Stiff shaft. Went with 10.5 degrees with the option of turning it down 0.75 degrees to avoid having any appearance of offset by adding loft using the Surefit hosel to a 9.5 degree head.
Decided to go a slight bit shorter with 44.5 inches after speaking with my pro/fitter about better control and more consistent strikes from the centre of the clubface.
Trackman numbers were good:
Order is gone in & looking to have it in hand for next weekend's competitions.
Thanks for the advice. Just finally, should the slightly shorter shaft affect the swingweight much?
Really looking forward to delivery,
Hi JC,
Glad to hear the fitting was a positive experience!
Going a half inch shorter will affect the swingweight slightly - possibly by 1 - 1.5 swingweights. If you have a strong feel for the clubhead, it may be worth requesting that the club is built as close to a specific swingweight as possible.
Thank you for the advice. It was a great experience using Trackman & analysing shot patterns.
Ok, that's not too much of a difference, can be easily offset if needs be. Can't wait to get it in hand & start making the most out of my drives.

Court solidifies Telkom pactComment on this story
Johannesburg - An agreement between Telkom and Solidarity about Telkom's restructuring and retrenchment process was made a court order by the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday, Solidarity said.
"In terms of the court order a facilitator must be appointed to facilitate the consultations regarding the proposed retrenchments," deputy general secretary Johan Kruger said in a statement.
"The court order further states that Telkom is prohibited from making any appointments or carrying out any retrenchments until the facilitation process has been concluded."
The facilitation process began on Monday.
"We trust that the new consultation process led by a facilitator will take place correctly and transparently," Kruger said.
"We are delighted that the legal process that we followed together with the public pressure against Telkom's planned layoffs had the desired effect."
He said the court order was a victory in the larger fight for the jobs of Solidarity members.
"We are aware that the big fight regarding Telkom's business rationale and the proposed use of race as a selection criterion still lies ahead," he said.
"Solidarity is determined to do its utmost to protect the rights of its members both during and after the consultation process."
The agreement between Telkom and Solidarity was reached on Thursday.
Solidarity spokesman Marius Croucamp said in a statement at the time that it also halted the process where Telkom intended using race as a layoff criteria.
On July 3, Telkom spokesman Pynee Chetty said the company would use various criteria during retrenchments.
"It is important to note that employment equity is only one of the criteria that will be applied to these processes."
Other criteria included qualification and experience, best fit for the job and "last one in, first one out".
"That will be when more than one employee qualifies for a position," Chetty said at the time. - Sapa

As we digest the Fed statement, let's put yet another Bullish Myth to rest: Markets do not have an upward bias after a rate tightening cycle ends.
Instead, we see the end of a hiking cycle occuring towards the end of a business cycle. That implies if not an outright recession, than at least a significant economic slow down occuring quite often.
What actually has happened at the end of a rate tightening cycle? USA Today commissioned a study from Ned David Research on just that question. NDR's conclusion?
"Going back to 1929, the Standard & Poor's 500 was
actually lower six months after the last rate increase 71% of the time and down
64% of the time 12 months later, according to data that NDR compiled for USA
[W]hat the bulls see as an all-clear signal is far from a sure thing. "There's quite a bit of talk about the market doing better once the Fed (stops)," says Ed Clissold, senior global analyst at Ned Davis Research (NDR). "However, more often than not the market has struggled after the last rate hike."
That's not even remotely close to the case promulgated by the Bulls:
Wall Street is betting big on stock prices
heading higher once the Federal Reserve stops raising interest rates. But
there's no guarantee it will be a winning bet, history shows.
For months, market strategists have been trumpeting the
fact that stocks usually rise when the Fed ends its rate-increasing campaigns.
Many pundits cite the expected end to the current "tightening cycle," perhaps as
early as March, as the key catalyst that will boost stocks.
End of Fed's rate increases may not be good for stocks
Sources: Ned Davis Research, USA TODAY research
Here's the classic example of the statistically unlikely scenario:
"Jason Trennert, chief investment strategist at ISI Group,
says the upward bias in anticipation of the Fed stopping makes perfect
"You have the best of both worlds," he says. "Before the
Fed stops, the economy is still performing well, corporate earnings are still
good, and the market benefits from the expectations of the Fed stopping."
More of the same Goldilocks story. Allow me to remind you that Trennart — who is otherwise a nice guy — has been incorrectly predicting the outperformance of Big Caps over Small and Mid-caps for too many quarters to count, as well as a resurgence of Capex spending for even longer. He's been wrong on both accounts.
There is a silver lining, however: Since
1980, the Fed has tended to start lowering rates (on average) six months after
their final increase.
And falling rates are usually bullish for stocks… eventually.
Odds are that stocks will drop once rate-rising stops

12 Responses to "Once Fed Hikes Stop, Markets Fall"
Historically, the best buy-sell decision rule for fed funds is sell when the year over year change is positive and buy when it is negative. It is not a perfect rule, but it works better then any other decision rule on fed policy. But this implies there is a significant lag between the change in policy and the change in the market.
The problem with this rule and the cited study is that it appears to me at least that the market reaction time to economic signals has shortened over time.
When I look at my market index — a set of buy-sell signals from numerous economic signals –that the lead time is now much shorter then it was 20 years ago.
I would think the reaction time to rate hikes/drops would've shrinked significantly since the Fed starting releasing minutes and actual decisions about rates, which only happened in the last 12 years. Before AG took office it was one big fat guessing game.
If AG is to be credited with anything it would be the openness of the Fed, even if we sometimes couldn't understand what he was saying.
I'm sorta surprised that NDR's piece gets this coverage, coverage that infects any rules (not matter how deeply writ in stone) or guides about what a termination in the tightening cycle means for the market.
I'm not saying that we are nothing but lemmings waiting for directions from USA Today but seriously, this is not the placating news we usually get from national media. I'm not saying that all of us are lemmings without our own compass to navigate these troubled waters, but some of us nail-biters have trouble remembering which side of that compass E is on. Of course that is why they (not intrepid us) hand off to the Professional Financial Advisors and they hand off to their whip smart Money Managers.
Ok, time to savour Jack's "would've shrinked significantly" and his allocade to AG whose literary skills and oratory are much too conservative, rule governed and hoplessly correct to seduce our poetic inclinations.
I think alot of people miss the point on here as they defend their position with zeal. We have a holy war of bulls and bears when you should be neither. You should be pragmatic. The world is not coming to an end. Fuggeddaboutit. The US isn't going to default and the other countries aren't going to quit buying dollars. It's great to bitch about but it won't happen.
Markets correct for other reasons than recessions and depressions. If you believe we are still working off the bubble, any correction is likely to be done in weeks not years. It may take months to digest or months for a final capitulation from a top but the majority of damage will likely be done swiftly. Especially without a recession on the horizon………yet.
So, if you aren't a market timer, you should likely consider putting your money in defensive assets or even plopping it in a 4+% money market until a washout has occured. The market could rally 20% first but odds aren't necessarily in that camp. Would you rather get a guaranteed 4% or know the cycle is lined up that there are higher probabilities you might lose 10-30% of your capital for the option of limited upside?
Investing, not gambling, is about lining your investment strategies with high probability gains. That meant, you were a retard if you owned Google into this earnings unless you were in very early. The options activity was stupidly bullish and I could smell that POSSIBLE mess a mile away. Frankly, I'm not sure the action wasn't preordained. Buying near earnings to take advantage of a 5% pop is best left to professionals who spend their career doing it and know things the average joe wouldn't dream of knowing.
Instead, what will likely happen is people will stay fully invested in equities until any correction looks awful, then they'll sell because the pain has gotten too severe and panic will set in. That's about the time the market will start going up and you'll miss it. Double whammy of selling low and buying high.
Btw, your "financial professional" wants you to stay fully invested because you supposedly can't beat the market. Phooey. They told you the same thing in 2000 because they collected over $1 trillion in fees from you whether your investments went up or down.
Oil is creeping up at $69.
Are we gradually killing the frog in the pot? I hear so little about oil given that we are so close to the Katrina highs.
Alternative energy, sure. But that is years away. Oil at $69 is today.
I hope so. Frog legs are mighty tasty. Raw is better left to sushi and vegetable plates. The sentiment is just plain stupid by any measure. That includes oil too. And there are too many of those taking a leave from their sessions at gamblers annonymous playing in the sandbox.
These "investment professionals" who are now playing in the oil markets because of the new found wealth potential best be swift traders. Someone is going to be caught without a chair when it's time to sit down. If the economy slows enough that we continue to build crude, the market with have oil coming out of its ears. That'll be worse than the nun cracking your knuckles for picking your nose in school.
Just after I posted $69 oil, it reverses on the day. Interesting…
Has there been any instance ever before where every asset on planet earth traded at life-time highs (adjusted for inflation or otherwise too) at the same time ?
If that is the case, what would the end of this global rally look like ? Infact, the more interesting question would be – what would end this rally ?
Warren Buffet had once (or rather has many a times mentioned about how lower interest rates (which they were 2 years ago) change the way we value assets across-the-board. What would have happened, if Federal Reserve had not raised interest rates – a). at all and b) at say half the pace as it has ?
All of you people are assuming we are now at the end of the rate hike cycle.
What if you are wrong? What if removal of the word "measured" means they are going to hike by a half point next time?
As to your snark at Jason T. you should when you next appear on K&C demand that when one of your fellow panelists makes a rosy prognostication to either put up or shut up (e.g.: "I will get this prediction right or my employer can fire me") You being a consultant are of course immune. ;)
I have this recurring fantasy:
I'm on some show with one of the PermaBulls — sometime in March 06, during market hours. The other guest is a Joey Baggadonuts type of guy, and talks Uber-Bullish about the Nasdaq or the Semies (which i still think goes higher from here on 2/1, but only for another 4-8 weeks).
Live, on the air, I say: Sold to you ! I am shorting 100,000 shares of QQQQ — right now at the market price — how many do you want?
I'll have my trading desk (Hey David — call Gruntal!) give you whatever you want . . . How many . . . ?
Then we all enjoy a good laugh as the color fdrains from his face . . .
The lag between the peak if Fed rates and the downturn provides further evidence that the Fed has problems fine-tuning the economy. They tend to keep raising rates long after they should have stopped, and the reason is that they continue to misjudge and misforecast. Now, if I thought policy makers had rational expectations….

I haven't done much illustration lately, but I have been working quite a bit on WordPress themes! I recently created a new theme called Vintage Camera, which features my illustrations as part of the design:
I had fun drawing these! They're in a slightly different style from my usual work… the hand-drawn style isn't my strong suit but when I asked my not-as-photo-savvy husband what they looked like, he recognized them as cameras. I'll call that a success.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a condition in which there is increased production of the hormone gastrin. Usually, a small tumor (gastrinoma) in the pancreas or small intestine produces the high levels of gastrin in the blood.
Alternative Names
Z-E syndrome; Gastrinoma
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is caused by tumors, usually found in the head of the pancreas and the upper small intestine. These tumors produce the hormone gastrin and are called gastrinomas. High levels of gastrin cause production of too much stomach acid.
Gastrinomas occur as single tumors or as small, multiple tumors. About one-half to two-thirds of single gastrinomas are cancerous (malignant) tumors that often spread to the liver and nearby lymph nodes.
Many patients with gastrinomas have several tumors as part of a condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN I). MEN I patients often have tumors of the pituitary gland (brain) and parathyroid gland (neck), as well as tumors of the pancreas.
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting blood (occasional)
Exams and Tests
Signs include ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.
Tests include:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Calcium infusion test
- Endoscopic ultrasound
- Exploratory surgery
- Gastrin blood level
- Octreotide scan
- Secretin stimulation test
Medications called proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole, and others) are now the first choice for treating Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. These drugs reduce acid production by the stomach, and promote healing of ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. They also relieve abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Surgery to remove a single gastrinoma may be done if there is no evidence that it has spread to other organs (such as lymph nodes or the liver). Surgery on the stomach (gastrectomy) to control acid production is rarely needed today.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Even with early diagnosis and surgery to remove the tumor, the cure rate is relatively low. However, gastrinomas grow slowly, and patients may live for many years after the tumor is discovered. Acid-suppressing medications are very effective at controlling the symptoms of too much acid production.
Possible Complications
- Failure to locate the tumor during surgery
- Intestinal bleeding or hole (perforation) from ulcers in the stomach or duodenum
- Severe diarrhea and weight loss
- Spread of the tumor to other organs (most often liver and lymph nodes)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have severe abdominal pain that does not go away, especially if it occurs with diarrhea.

So if the old tags are used, how do I know whether audio files have been processed with r128gain or another EBU R128 implementation? The REPLAYGAIN_REFERENCE_LOUDNESS tag field? What if a Replay Gain scanner does not remove this tag field when I change from EBU R128 to Replay Gain?
Personally I'd like to be able to switch between both in an instant in order to compare their capabilities even more so because their coexistence in the PC audio domain has just started with this project, I thought that's obvious. Currently I would have to prepare two sets of audio files in order to compare them adequately, not very practical if you don't really know what music you actually need to test, as I don't remember every album where I found something odd.
Why would you like to have your music coming from the PC at another loudness?Personally I have noticed quite some loudness differences of already replaygained music titles, as I understood it, EBU R128 does not simply has a lower base loudness, but may be better at bringing those albums to an adjusted level. But without proper testing preconditions this is not possible to proof for me. Easy instant switching between both would help a lot.
Well, if you experts tell me that EBU R128 is superior to Replay Gain then I will go with it and switch without testing... but actually I'd like to hear for myself.

Marubeni Sells Columbus Plant
Marubeni Sells Columbus PlantMarubeni Denim, Columbus, Ga., was recently sold by the Tokyo-based Marubeni Group to private investors as part of a $2-billion company write-down. Global economic concerns were cited as a reason for the sale of the plant. The transaction was completed on April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed. Investors in the new company, renamed Denim North America (DNA), are Jack Pezold, CEO of the Pezold Companies and owner of DNA; George Jeter, a retired AFLAC CFO; Larry Galbraith, president and CEO of DNA; and Bob Koon, a member of DNAs Board of Directors. The now private organization will focus on the high-end, niche portion of the fashion market. Monte Galbraith, former Marubeni Denim vice president, sales and marketing, has assumed the same role within the new organization. Galbraith explained that the company was bought at a competitive price, and brought with it the four-year-old Marubeni facility in Columbus capable of producing 21 million linear yards annually as well as its 272 associates. The deal, according to Galbraith, also allows DNA to take advantage of Marubenis growing denim business and loyal customer following. June 2002

A Supreme Court nomination may not have been the ideal time for Laura Bush to start acting like "Buy One, Get One Free" Hillary Clinton. At least President Clinton only allowed his wife to choose the attorney general. (Remember the good old days when first ladies only got to pick the poet laureate and the White House china pattern?)
Between cooking segments on the "Today" show this week, Laura rolled out the straw man – sorry, "straw person" – argument that the criticism of Miers was rooted in "sexism" (which is such a chick thing to say).
I'm a gyno-American, and I strenuously object.
The only sexism involved in the Miers nomination is the administration's claim that once they decided they wanted a woman, Miers was the best they could do. Let me just say, if the top male lawyer in the country is John Roberts and the top female lawyer is Harriet Miers, we may as well stop allowing girls to go to law school.
Ah, but perhaps you were unaware of Miers' many other accomplishments. Apparently she was THE FIRST WOMAN in Dallas to have a swimming pool in her back yard! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN with a safety deposit box at the Dallas National Bank! And she was THE FIRST WOMAN to wear pants at her law firm! It's simply amazing! And did you know she did all this while being a woman?
I don't know when Republicans became the party that condescends to women, but I am not at all happy about this development. This isn't the year 1880. And by the way, even in 1880, Miers would not have been the "most qualified" of all women lawyers in the U.S., of which there were 75.
By 1950, there were more than 6,000 women lawyers, three female partners at major law firms and three female federal judges. She may be a nut who belonged to a subversive organization, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg graduated first in her class from Columbia Law School – and that was before Harriet Miers was applying to law school.
Women have been graduating at the top of their classes at the best law schools for 50 years. Today, women make up about 45 percent of the students at the nation's top law schools (and more than 50 percent at all law schools).
Which brings us to the other enraging argument being made by the Bush administration and its few remaining defenders – the claim of "elitism." I also don't know when the Republican Party stopped being the party of merit and excellence and became the party of quotas and lying about test scores, but I don't like that development, either.

World Haemophilia Day
UNDERSTANDING HAEMOPHILIA Those who are familiar with M. Night Shyamalan's superhero thriller 'Unbreakable' would also know the medical condition with which the film's antagonist was affected. For those who don't, it is a disease in which bones break easily. Haemophilia is a somewhat similar condition where a simple cut or scratch may result in a lot of bleeding. This happens because of the body's inability to control blood clotting or coagulation. The most common form of the disease is Haemophilia
A wherein the deficiency of clotting factor VIII, a blood clotting protein also known as anti-haemophilic factor (AHF), is responsible for the bleeding disorder. The other form known as Haemophilia B results from a deficiency of clotting factor IX.
Haemophilia is not a transmissible disease. On the contrary it a hereditary gene disorder and males are most are likely to be affected by it. Since the defective gene is associated with the X chromosome and males have only one such chromosome the disease manifests in them. Females on the other hand are usually the carriers of the defective gene, as they have two X chromosomes and it is least likely that both the copies will have the same defect. Also, one-third of the new cases occur without a previous family history of the disease, wherein it is caused by a new mutation of the gene in the mother or the child. Haemophilia manifests as frequent and spontaneous bleeding episodes in joints or tissues. Most of the bleeding occurs internally. A person with haemophilia doesn't necessarily bleed faster than normal people. Instead the bleeding continues for a longer period. Internal bleeding can lead to stiffness, pain, severe joint damage, disability, and sometimes death.
The usual symptoms of the disease varies with the severity. Some of the characteristic symptoms are:
- Big bruises
- Bleeding into muscles and joints, especially the knees, elbows, and ankles
- Sudden bleeding inside the body for no clear reason
- Prolonged bleeding after a cut, tooth removal, surgery, or an accident
- Serious internal bleeding into vital organs, most commonly after a serious trauma
There is an extensive choice offered by modern techniques such as DNA technology which can help couples in family planning. Preventive health screening in the form of carrier detection (CD) and prenatal diagnosis (PND) can prove to be effective means of combatting the disease. When there is a family history of haemophilia it is not possible to identify accurately most females who carry the haemophilia gene. However, women who know they are carriers may have options for prenatal diagnosis to obtain information of foetal status.

This year's event featured an all-star lineup of keynote speakers including, Candy Crowley, CNN's chief political correspondent (pictured below left); Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and contributing editor at TIME (below right with the Immediate Past Chairman of SHRM's Board of Directors Jose A. Berrios); and Nina Totenberg, NPR legal affairs correspondent. In addition, concurrent sessions offered attendees insight into many issues relevant to today's workforce, such as health care reform and implementation, global skills gap and immigration, right-to work laws, and managing employee requests under ADA and FMLA. Republican Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, a member of the Finance and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions commitees, also stopped by to address members on the importance of advocating directly with your legislators about policy issues of concern to the HR profession. On the final day of the event, nearly 200 conference participants converged on Capitol Hill to meet with their respective lawmakers and advocate on behalf of the HR profession. Pictured below from left to right are members from the Texas and New York delegations, respectively. In total, Capitol Hill Day participants met with over 225 (138 House and 90 Senate) lawmakers from 45 states. This year's visits focused on protecting employee benefits as part of tax reform and deficit reduction, and also creating a workable immigration system.

A comedian took his distinct character and made it into a kids television show in the 1980s – a fantastical place, filled with crazy characters and puppets called Pee Wee's Playhouse.
Paul Reubens took his unique creation of Pee Wee Herman and made a series of unique productions based on the child-like adult.
Reubens first brought Herman to the stage as a stand-up comedy act, then as a special for HBO with The Pee Wee Herman Show, a film with Tim Burton titled Pee Wee's Big Adventure, before working with CBS to create Pee Wee's Playhouse.
Inspired by the kids programming he watched when young – The Mickey Mouse Club, Rocky and Bullwinkle and Captain Kangaroo – Paul Reubens worked with old friends and actors Laurence Fishburne, Phil Hartman, Lynn Marie Stewart, John Paragon and S. Epatha Merkerson.
The show incorporate puppet characters that Reubens had created in the past, and was focused on Pee Wee's daily visit to the Playhouse, to hang out with toys, games, talking furniture and gadgets, the Playhouse gang and regular visitors: Miss Yvonne, Reba the Mail Lady, Cowboy Curtis and Captain Carl.
Each half hour episode would be fast, fun and colourful, and would showcase Pee Wee's silliness and naivety – and subtle teachings of lessons for kids while always showing that odd or different were just part of the world. Reubens also had music created for the series – working with Todd Rundgren, Danny Elfman, George Clinton, Dweezil Zappa and The Residents. Singer Cyndi Lauper sang the theme song of the show.
The series, which had four seasons on-air, won 15 Emmys, and was notable for its wide range of guests stars, including Jimmy Smits, Oprah Winfrey, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Cher, Little Richard, Grace Jones, Magic Johnson, Whoopi Goldberg, Charo, kd lang and Frankie Avalon.
I saw a few episodes, mainly because of curiosity after seeing Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Although the show was directed at kids, there was a unique charm about the show, and I had a favourite character, a beatnik puppet called Chicky Baby.
Creating unique kids programming that also lured adults – a unique combination of the wacky and memorable was found in Pee Wee's Playhouse.

Set in downtown Hattiesburg on Front Street, South City Records President Paul West said he and his fellow festival organizers hope the record label's first SCR Music Festival will be the cornerstone to a musical, fun-filled legacy for the label and music lovers everywhere. ...

Graceful bridge an instant icon for the state
Jul. 1, 2005The State
This week, South Carolina has welcomed a structure that comes ready-made as a state landmark. Judging by the warm public reception for the new Cooper River bridge, folks are pleased with the beautiful addition to South Carolina's vistas. Last weekend, the bridge was opened up to pedestrians, and more than 100,000 folks headed out to examine the new 1,500-foot main span. In Charleston, the new bridge already has joined the city's iconography, turning up on everything from paintings to company logos. As the big bridge (officially, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge) opens to vehicle traffic today, it already has won hearts on the coast.
It's more than a work of art, of course: It's a working part of the state's transportation structure. It is the largest of its type — a cable-stayed span bridge — in North America. Its eight vehicle lanes will handle the increased traffic between Mount Pleasant and Charleston for decades to come. The higher roadbed will allow for larger ships to pass underneath, helping to ensure that Charleston can continue to be a major economic gateway into the Southeast.
Despite its elegance, it's not fragile, which is appropriate. The forces of nature periodically deal Charleston some hard knocks, and the new bridge is built to take them. It was designed to withstand major hurricanes and the most calamitous of earthquakes.
As impressive as the bridge itself has been the way it has come to be. Citizen input was sought and heeded, including on the initial design. In response to a grassroots movement, designers added another lane, reserved for walkers and bicyclists. By listening to the voices of the community, a good bridge design became much better.
This bridge was completed almost a year ahead of schedule, and is designed to last for 100 years. With its elegant and efficient design, it shows that handling community growth does not require the construction of the ugly and cheap; South Carolina can build something wonderful, if that is the goal it sets from the start. Congratulations to all involved in bringing this majestic addition to the Lowcountry.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Thanks to a tip called in to Midlands CrimeStoppers, a sex offender that failed to register with local law enforcement is back behind bars tonight.
An alert citizen spotted 24-year-old Ronnie Ashford Jr. after the Midlands community was asked to assist in locating him was put out by Midlands CrimeStoppers in June.
The Richland County Sheriff's Department Fugitive Task Force was given an address on Marlboro St. in Columbia by the CrimeStoppers tipster, and the Task Force placed Ashford under arrest.
That location was a family member's home, and at the time of his arrest, Ashford was in possession of a stolen vehicle from the City's jurisdiction.
Ashford faces an outstanding bench warrant, charges for failure to register as a sex offender, and additional charges with the City of Columbia,
Thanks to Midlands residents that make the effort to get involved in the community, it's tips like these that help us make the Midlands a safer place.
Just in the month of June alone, nearly 400 different tips were called in to the CrimeStoppers hotline, sent by text message, or sent by email.
If you witness any suspicious activity, or know of specific criminal acts, you can provide an anonymous tip to the CrimeStoppers Of The Midlands by calling 888-CRIME-SC. You can also text a tip by sending the word "TIPSC" plus the information to CRIMES (274637), or submit the tip on their website, www.midlandscrimestoppers.com.

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to fit and repair taps
New basin taps are a great way to upgrade your bathroom. Look out for versions with an eco click mechanism, as they'll help you and your family control how much water you use. If one of your taps is dripping, try to fix it promptly - otherwise it'll stain your bath or sink and cause erosion inside the mechanism of the tap.
Practical planning - Bathrooms
Whilst planning your bathroom it can be easy to forget those little practical details. Think about the kind of look you want to achieve but also the space you are buying it for; a family bathroom will have different needs to a downstairs cloakroom.

The Big Diggity
Russell Dawson, Stonemason
RiverPark Center
We begin this programand kick off Mixed Medias seventh seasonin Murray, where stonemason Russell Dawson creates fireplaces, patios, walls, benches, and custom homes with fieldstone. Dawson found his calling in the early 1970s when he walked by a bank building in Wyoming and admired the stonework.
While out west, we also visit Owensboros RiverPark Center, which served as the staging ground for an international tour of 42nd Street in the summer of 2004. The company was preparing to take the show to Japan, and the production helped boost local tourism as well as economic development. Nearly 100 actors, dancers, crew members, and employees of the theatrical company were in town for four dress rehearsals and two performances, and at least 50 local people were hired to sew and assemble costumes.
Throughout the program, Louisville band the Big Diggity, a self-described new-soul collective, performs songs from its CD Ride. The band members are lead vocalist Lamont Conner, Mauriece Hamilton on saxophone, rap lyricist Mr. Theo, brothers Sherman (bass) and Nathan (guitar) Buschemeyer, Woody on keyboard, Jacob Englert on percussion, and Brian Lambert on drums.

Comments by spontaneous_brittany
Santana: Hugging dolls are so much better then the real thing. My skin burns when I touch someone in comfort.
okay love the fight with finn/brody....santana---awesome....i agree santana was what this season had been missing. The whole Ryder with the internet chick thing. At first I thought it was Unique creating a fake profile because she knew Ryder would never go for her. Now I'm thinking this "katie" girl is going to be something out of Dateline.
agree fully....i was listening to it and was like wth?...love the first one...i love when lea does heartfelt songs e.i. Papa can you hear me, don't cry for me argentina (i know its a duo but i love her version better)
second one...dear lord... they seem like episodes from the regular everyday singing in the classroom instead of regionals songs...well actually the second one is just kind of ridiculous in a tv music special kind of way and i don't think its glee...but i can TOTALLY see rachel with her "rachel smile" cheesing it to that song...
loved the "It tastes like pink" lines from rachel! Was pissed at Finn for his rudeness to her though but SOOOO glad she finally got a tad of a backbone about the comment he made about her being touchy feely...there is a way to be nice about someone being touchy like that instead of just being an ass and just calling her out...I loved that she got up and got a little pissed....it seemed like they were getting back to being at least friends at the beginning and then he ends up being mean... I totally believe Kurt was right...my mother and i discussed this...if I hadn't been straight and my mother knew it even though she was straight to help me understand sex (since sex doesn't necessarily mean male/female) she would have researched the mechanics (because when parents give the sex talk to kids they use technical terms or comfortable terms to describe stuff) and explained how everything went....ALSO Rachel...she has 2 gay dads....being that she doesn't have the equipment that they do...yes it would be awkward being they most likely hadn't done what they were explaining to her but they would know what the mechanics are for her preference of sex...i don't blame kurt at all in all honesty burt wasn't unreasonable in him asking kurt to clear it with him...most parents would be adverse to their child having a significant other (potential or actual) spend the night Burt was acting like a parent...
Kurt not reacting: I think the writers didn't write it in because they just didn't think about it. Obviously the Kurt and Dave thing is either not going to be an issue for a while. When Glee writers write in a foreshadow they do it at the end of the episode not the middle. They just aren't ready for the whole thing to be addressed yet. I'm sure there will be an event that will bring the whole thing with Dave together, but at this point in time they weren't thinking about how are we going to have this "battle" between Kurt and Dave. Bullying Issue: I live in a small town that most of the people over 35 think that being gay is wrong, but in my high school we had several openly gay guys and girls, they weren't bullied or ridiculed which isn't how it is everywhere i am aware, but there should be a line drawn somewhere. I fully support McKinley becoming a no tolerance school, and I agree that bullying has become a joke on the show. Honestly, the ND have been very hard on Rachel in the past, I really only think one episode she was truly annoying. But they were sometimes cruel and I think that needs to be addressed. I mean the least the Principal could do was send someone to this thing called DETENTION, or ISS or something. My high school wasn't a no tolerance school but if you shoved someone or even got up in someone's face there were repercussions. Several times the the glee kids/ football players have gotten into fist fights. You did that and 90% of schools would do something more than just separate the two people and say work it out with words. I think the writers need to take a look at maybe putting in a storyline that the bullying gets so bad the parents complain and the principal is forced to put in cameras, it could be funny, but something is done about it. Oh and 99% of school boards would fire a teacher like sue regardless of her National Titles, but what fun would that be for Glee... We have to remember that this is a TV show, and it isn't always how real life would go all the time.
loved it....sorry to say Tina....little over the top and kind of ridiculous
santana and lauren...awesomely epic
kudos to lauren for the comment about being the everyday girl still not a fan of luck but found their dynamic in this episode endearing...however it seemed that puck hurt lauren's feelings with the "fat bottom girls" she maybe be curvy but pointing it out that she is large still probably hurt her
already over quinn and finn...so done with it
predictable kurt and blaine twist...but loved that blaine admitted to being less than perfect...hopefully he will become better at romance with kurt *crosses fingers*
last but not least PLEASE DO NOT PUT SANTANA AND SAM TOGETHER!! JUST SAY NO TO SAM-TANA no long looks, no sighs, and no flirting...sam is too nice to be with santana she would corrupt him...or screw him then throw him away....please no samtana
sorry one more thing...i find this really funny...was watching season 1 tonight again with my mom...in one of the first episodes Emma makes a comment about John Stamos (not his character on the show but the actor) to Schue...find it funny she is "married" to him now
love the idea of this episode!! super excited about lady antebellum...as a Texan most of us are forced to like country especially if you live where i live there is nothing but country radio stations or a classic rock one and they don't do enough country
Blaine adorable but have to agree with Sez about the whole 1 person/group thing...he does seem like a golden boy and Glee is about being different....being your own person...right now he is just a gay dude that can sing (no offense to anyone that would take that offensively i seriously mean it respectively)....honestly right now he isn't Glee worthy...he isn't an awesome loser he is a pretty, preppy, popular guy; if you remember back to season 1 like the 7th episode when Sue split up the group in minorities yes Quinn and some of the other Gleesters were popular but someone each had their own little difference that made them special...Blaine right now is seriously the writers saying hey...everyone else has/had someone...kurt hasn't lets write him in someone...he isn't special yet so he isn't Glee worthy till we find out if he is staying on Glee or jumping ship because lets face it why find out anything about him back story-wise unless he was staying....like him for now...just hope he can be elaborated on
Beth is Rachel's little sister sorry just read it back and realized it sounded like i said Idina's sister oops my bad lol

Located 10km from the sea, Villa Carlotta is located in the first row of the designated Cerro de Saão Miguel which, for several years, is presented as one of the most prestigious rural outskirts of the small and historic town of Silves, Algarve .
Cerro de São Miguel is one of the most beautiful hills surrounding the city of Silves, standing up in front of it, from the east bank of the River Arade, and it is sought, populated and appreciated for decades by Scandinavians who, seeking to distance themselves from their rigorous climates, here found the ideal "refuge".
Although situated near the town of Silves, this hill is inserted in full Algarve countryside and offers an extremely quiet, relaxing and friendly atmosphere, where the little bustle of the little sleepy town is not felt.
On the other hand, the urban planning of the first line of Cerro de São Miguel provides to Villa Carlota a high level of privacy in relation to the few neighbor villas.
All these features contribute to and define the magnificent framework that enjoys Villa Carlota, unmatched throughout the Algarve region, beyond doubt, allowing enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire city of Silves and the River Arade, able to steal your breath away for a few seconds.
If you think that's all, think again, because in the horizon you can still see the Monchique Mountains, considered one of the most beautiful charms that Algarve's nature has to offer.
Villa Carlotta also enjoys a high level of road access, standing just 4 minute from the highway (A22 - Via do Infante) and 7 minutes from the EN 125.
Arrive and park your car in the fabulous beaches of the central/western Algarve does not take more than 15-20 minutes. If you prefer, you can also choose to take your family and friends to one of the three famous water parks close to the villa, a task that you will peacefully do in about 10-25 minutes.
On the other hand, if you are a golf lover, you can't find a better place to put into practice your sporting passion in one of the 6 golf courses that are within 2/9km away from the villa.
"Last but not least," the trendy nightlife of the Algarve is also ensured in about 20 to 35 minutes, whether you seek Praia da Rocha and Alvor or Albufeira and Vilamoura.
In short, Villa Carlota boasts a rare and unique location, being able to combine and provide a wonderful and extraordinarily delicate balance between countryside and city, beaches and golf courses.

The Financial Services Sector represents a vital component of our nation's critical infrastructure. Large-scale power outages, recent natural disasters, and an increase in the number and sophistication of cyber attacks demonstrate the wide range of potential risks facing the sector.
Sector Overview
Financial institutions provide a broad array of products from the largest institutions with assets greater than one trillion dollars to the smallest community banks and credit unions. Whether an individual savings account, financial derivatives, credit extended to a large organization, or investments made to a foreign country, these products allow customers to:
- Deposit funds and make payments to other parties;
- Provide credit and liquidity to customers;
- Invest funds for both long and short periods; and
- Transfer financial risks between customers.
Financial institutions are organized and regulated based on services provided by institutions. Within the sector, there are more than 18,800 federally insured depository institutions; thousands of providers of various investment products, including roughly 18,440 broker-dealer, investment adviser, and investment company complexes; providers of risk transfer products, including 7,948 domestic U.S. insurers; and many thousands of other credit and financing organizations.
Sector-Specific Plan
The Financial Services Sector-Specific Plan (PDF, 96 pages – 3.37 MB) details how the National Infrastructure Protection Plan risk management framework is implemented within the context of the unique characteristics and risk landscape of the sector. Each Sector-Specific Agency develops a sector-specific plan through a coordinated effort involving its public and private sector partners. The Department of Treasury is designated as the Sector-Specific Agency for the Financial Services Sector. Presidential Policy Directive 21 changed the name of the Banking and Finance Sector to the Financial Services Sector in 2013.

PANTHER CREEK (Franklin County). Panther Creek rises near Purley in southwestern Franklin County (at 33°06' N, 95°16' W). The stream, which is intermittent in its upper reaches, originally ran southeast for 6½ miles to its mouth on Big Cypress Creek. After Lake Cypress Springs was impounded in 1970, roughly half the creek's course was inundated, and the stream reached its mouth on the lake at a point in southern Franklin County (at 33°04' N, 95°11' W). Panther Creek traverses gently undulating to rolling terrain, surfaced by loamy soils with a clayey subsoil. The area is heavily wooded, with pines and various hardwoods predominating.
