Weekly Standard:
On Friday, the United States Department of Agriculture quietly released new statistics related to the food stamps program, officially known as SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). The numbers reveal, in 2012, the food stamps program was the biggest it's ever been, with an average of 46,609,072 people on the program every month of last year. 47,791,996 people were on the program in the month of December 2012.
Senator Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said that the Obama administration is encouraging growth in the food stamps program as a way to stimulate the economy.
Amazingly, the federal government says that the more people we have on food stamps, the more it grows the economy. The Department of Agriculture proudly declares: 'Each $5 in new [food stamp] benefits generates almost twice that amount in economic activity for the community.' Our government is running food stamp promotions at foreign embassies. One worker was given an award for overcoming 'mountain pride' and getting more people to sign up. Where I grew up in Alabama, all honest work, even the hardest, was honored. And pride, self-respect, and a desire to be independent was valued, not a thing to be overcome," said Sessions, who delivered the weekly Republican address.
Sessions also pointed out that cities like Baltimore, which he said have have been "governed by liberal policies for decades," see particularly high numbers of participation in the program.
"Despite this fountain of federal funds, 1 in 3 children still live in poverty in our nation's capital. Two in three children live in single parent homes. In nearby Baltimore--another city governed by liberal policies for decades--1 in 3 residents are on food stamps and in 1 in 3 youth live in poverty. Americans are committed to helping our sisters and brothers who are struggling, but we are seeing the damaging human consequences of our broken welfare state," said Sessions.
"We spend a trillion dollars each year on federal poverty programs. That's more than the budget for Social Security or Defense. But poverty seems only to increase. Something is wrong. Compassion demands that we change."
If food stamps stimulated the economy, we would have a booming economy!

Anyhow, I have my default domain email, that is for personal email. I have added my work's email address to the webmail and I use it more often than my personal email. I find that I send out emails to clients with my personal email inadvertently to often.
Is there a way, either through the administration or through the client settings, that will allow me to change what the default email for sending emails for an account?
I tried to create a persona but it would not let me select an external account.

Summary:Misery loves company. Unless you're sportscaster Ryan King (Matthew Perry) who thinks misery should just be left alone. After taking some time off, Ryan - who recently lost his wife in a car accident - is now ready to get back to work. And while he seems like his same old charming, cocky self, his boss won't set him back on the air until he seeks counseling. So, Ryan reluctantly joins a support group with one goal in mind: get in, get out and get back on the radio as quickly as possible. Played by the fast-talking, sarcastic, and charismatic Perry, Ryan gives grief a real run for its money. Within one day of group therapy, he hijacks the meeting and suddenly the downtrodden are cajoled into ... Full Summary >>

MORGANTOWN - When veteran Steve Dunlap looks around the room these days, he doesn't see a lot of lifelong pals.
''That's coaching,'' he says.
Dunlap, West Virginia's special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach who is in his 35th year in the business and 26th year at the school, is the lone holdover from last season's defensive staff. Among three different coaching stops at WVU, Dunlap dates all the way back to the Frank Cignetti years, when he began as a grad assistant helping with the linebackers in 1978.
''I was with Don (Nehlen) forever,'' Dunlap said. ''I thought I'd be here forever. Next thing I know, I end up in Syracuse and N.C. State (and Navy and Marshall) and whatnot. That's just part of the coaching ways nowadays. It's transient.
''Everybody tells you if you walk on high steel, you'll get paid a lot. But you'll fall off a lot, too.''
Today, the Hurricane native finds himself helping co-coordinators Keith Patterson and Joe DeForest transition the Mountaineers from a 3-3-5 stack to a 3-4.
It's no big deal, he says.
''I'm not trying to put it off as not important, but I've played every defense known to man and a couple extra,'' Dunlap said. ''I've been through this transition many times. There's fundamentals and basics techniques that go with any defense that I have a good understanding of, so it's not that bad for me.''
''Every one works a little bit different and every one has its weaknesses and its strengths. Really, it always come down to the players.''
The WVU defensive unit, which has a host of young players seeing action, showed against Marshall there's still work to be done. That was to be expected.
''You always have to take little steps before you take big ones,'' Dunlap said. ''Our job as coaches is to make them fundamentally sound, give them the basics. Like I always tell them, the most inexperienced player holds a spot. It takes 11 to win. We'll go as fast as that youngest player will let us go.''
Inside the box score
Taking a look back at the Marshall game, there are some interesting finds. Fans generally know West Virginia scored touchdowns on 10 of its first 12 drives - something that is mostly unheard of - but there was more. The odd part of the entire deal was throughout the first three quarters, where nine of the touchdowns were scored, the Mountaineers began somewhere around their own 28. The last three drives, which ended with a TD, a punt, and an interception, began on average on the Marshall 39. In other words, they prefer to take the long route.
Tavon Still Getting it Done
Since his scintillating performance in the Orange Bowl, Tavon Austin has found himself alongside QB Geno Smith in the Heisman Trophy discussion. Austin led the nation in all-purpose yards at 198 per game last season, so knowing where he is all the time is a must for opposing teams.
The Thundering Herd knew that, often choosing to kick away from Austin, but it did little to hurt his impact on the game. Austin had 66 rushing yards, 53 receiving yards, 35 in kick returns, and 19 in punt returns for 173. As the yards piled up at a Mountaineer Field record pace, five WVU players - Austin, Andrew Buie (135), Shawne Alston (123), and Stedman Bailey (121) all eclipsed 100 yards.
High Cotton
Smith's performance against Marshall, in which he accounted for five touchdowns, earned him this season's initial Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week award.
He completed 32 of 36 passes for 323 yards and rushed for 65 more yards and one score while playing just the first three quarters. He was also named Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week.
Redshirt freshman Isaiah Bruce, a redshirt freshman linebacker from Jacksonville, Fla., burst on the scene in a big way, as he finished his first collegiate game with16 tackles, including seven solo stops, and one for a tackle for a loss of 8 yards. He also scooped up a fumble and raced 43 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. For his efforts, he was named the Big 12's Defensive Player of the Week.
''He's a smart kid,'' WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said. ''When the referees were in here going over all of the rules he raised his hand three or four times and was asking questions. He's a smart kid, his conditioning is good, and it was a pleasant surprise, but he, along with everybody else, has a whole lot to work on.''

Before heading off to Hollywood and becoming famous, Andy Griffith was an English teacher in Goldsboro, Wayne County.
In 2002 the Wayne County Museum honored him on their wall of fame, noting his contributions to the youth of Wayne County during his few years as a teacher for the school system. He taught there from 1949-1953.
Christopher Lawson is the assistant director at the museum. He says, "We have people come and they say they had a relative of theirs or somebody went to school when he was here or they remember the show. He was in this area and he made it so big later and I think that's important for Goldsboro and Wayne County and Eastern North Carolina."
The museum has items from their area like the bell that was in an episode of Matlock from Cherry Hospital.
While teaching at Goldsboro High School, Griffith, who was raised in the Baptist Church, directed the choir at First Baptist church in downtown Goldsboro.
The Wayne County Museum is also open to visitors on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays if you would like to see more on Andy Griffith's footprint in North Carolina

In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
This Fact Sheet outlines the common rules and policies of Schengen Member States that have abolished controls at internal borders, the regulations for EU and third-country nationals who wish to enter and reside in the Schengen Area, and the function and mechanism of the "Schengen visa."
This report, the product of two workshops held on border management in Belgium and Texas, addresses three arenas of significant change shared by the United States and the European Union: 1) new government organizations for controlling borders; 2) the use of information technology to secure borders; and 3) visa‐free travel policies.
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.
This report examines post-9/11 immigration enforcement practices in the United States through the lens of international human rights. It identifies gaps in the protection of noncitizens' civil rights under U.S. constitutional law, and then evaluates whether post-9/11 U.S. immigration control measures have complied with obligations under international human rights law with respect to due process protections and the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of national origin or race.

Hi All,
We are using ZCS release 7.2.0 on a CentOS 5.9 machine. I stupidly changed the "Admin console auth token lifetime" value on the "Advanced" tab for "Class of Service" to 10 seconds. I cannot change this value back to it's original value from the GUI because I get logged out first. Is there a way I can change this value from the command line? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rated 5 out of 5�by gmoss SKLZ SPEED CHUTE Working out great for 7,8 9 year old they love it and it does make them run faster and wears them out. July 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Henry3K It's worth every penny The speed chute has the "pulling your waist/shirt sensation" at first it felt like it wasn't much but sprint after sprint after sprint it gets REAL. I have improved my "explosiveness" because of this product. I LOVE IT. P.s. When using this product make sure there's not much wind, and if there is then make sure it is in your direction March 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gordo Well worth the price! My son's speed has increased dramatically after only a few days of working with this equipment. He said it feels like somebody hanging on his jersey while he is trying to run for a touchdown! January 26, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Sportsmom1 Poor quality. Ripped on first use. Not sewn well. Will be returning and perhaps looking for a better one. January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by SoccerMom So Far So Good! Gave this to my son for Christmas. His coach wanted him to work on sprinting speed during the off season. It is pretty cool and works well for him. He's 13 and plays select soccer. He's only used it 2 days so far, so too soon to have measured results. He did say he feels the resistance. To add to it he was running up a slight incline. Chute fully extends and opens. Only improvement I would want for this to be a harness not just a belt. This would allow for the chute to be higher up with less dragging whe he starts. December 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Linebacker26 Ideal for speed training This parachute was a good buy and well worth the money. I use it to train for football and it has helped a lot. I practiced running routes with it and it helped my explosiveness and top speed. It also shaved some time off my 40 yard dash and it is also helpful for those who run track. December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DFA Great for Training I purchased the SKLZ Speed Chute so that I may take my players speed training to the next level. It worked! My players not only get great workouts, but they actually love to use the chute. I can run them into the ground, but they always come back because it's something different and fun for them to do. I use this in conjuction with the SKLZ 360 Recoil and the combination is great. Highly recommended! December 9, 2014

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- Quindell Mercer, convicted of killing his mother and stepbrother, received the maximum sentence in a Prince George's County court.
Mercer was sentenced in Circuit Court on Friday and received 100 years in jail. He was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder and other charges for the August 2011 double-shooting.
Prosecutors say Mercer shot both victims and then positioned their bodies on a sofa. They say DNA evidence and an FBI handwriting evidence connected Mercer to the crime.

Small-Block Chevrolet Serpentine Belt Setup - No More Adjustments And NoiseWritten by on June 25, 2012
If you're like me, adjusting something time and time again is quite bothersome and repetitive. I like to install the part and not have to mess with it again until routine maintenance comes around. For hot rodders that means every six to eight months changing fluids, checking brakes or anything that could leave you stranded on the side of the road. But what if you could cut some of the maintenance by installing a serpentine belt pulley system that required less attention and, in my opinion, looks really good?
New cars and trucks use what is called a serpentine system that either uses a belt tensioner or some sort of mechanical adjustment to tension the belt. The common serpentine belt is usually a five-rib belt that is matched by a five-rib pulley. The system works well because of the increased surface area on the belt and pulley. The older style V-belt systems usually have several belts to do the same actions under the hood and often require frequent adjustment. Oil and water leaks also cause havoc on V-belts and serp belts, but with the added grip from the serpentine belt, belt noises are greatly reduced. The cool thing about this particular kit, aside from its good looks is that it's all aluminum and greatly reduces the overall engine weight. CT

We used the gasket singe on all the water pump gaskets. This stuff not only helps seal the gasket, but it holds the gasket in place when installing the water pump.We applied thread sealant to the supplied water pump (3⁄8x3 inches) studs so that water would not get past the threads.The water pump, pulley, and heater tube were put on prior to installing the pump. The water pump is a reverse-flow pump, but that is OK because the belt is turning in the opposite direction and makes the water flow in the normal direction.Before the water pump was installed, we found it easier to put on the power steering pump. A March power steering bracket was installed on the back of the PS pump.
The kit comes with four large threaded bungs that are used to tighten the water pump on. Remember to use a gasket singe on the water pump gaskets.We wiped off the remainder of the gasket singe material so it wouldn't dry and look bad on the outside of the new parts.The large Pro-Track aluminum bracket could then be attached to the water pump using the supplied Allen head bolts.The upper adjustment bolt was then installed finger-tight to the bracket. Note that we made the mistake of not installing the small aluminum spacer on the outside of the bolt. Make sure to put the spacer on or it will make it hard to adjust belt tension.The alternator was then slid into place and a small spacer was used to gap it from the water pump bracket. It may be necessary to remove the alternator several times to adjust the Allen plug that is attached to the water pump bracket.Take note that the spacer we forgot to put on the 105-amp alternator looks like this. The A/C compressor bolts in two spots on the front of the large aluminum bracket, one underneath the compressor and the bolt shown is part of the adjustment. We left the bolts finger-tight for a moment, so that belt-adjustment could be made by moving the alternator and compressor without scratching the brackets.This cool little adjustment tool comes in the kit and is only used to tension the belt. A good rule to go follow for any belt is not to over-tighten it. We started by tightening the belt and then checking the belt tension by turning the belt at the longest point. If the belt is adjusted correctly, it should twist less than 50 degrees. With this kit, our measurement was taken in between the crank and A/C compressor pulley. The next step was to make sure the alternator pulley was tight with a 3⁄8 impact gun.
March also has a remote PS reservoir with braided stainless steel lines that can be mounted to the inner fender or near the radiator.March also has a remote PS reservoir with braided stainless steel lines that can be mounted to the inner fender or near the radiator.The last thing we did was check all the bolts and clean all the fingerprints off the kit. The March kit was clean and a simple design that was easily installed within two hours.

Insider Series: Interview with a Manga Editor (Part 1)
Insider Access
Welcome to the Insider Interview Series, where I will touch base with creative professionals who will share a little bit about their jobs, what makes them so interesting, and any advice on breaking into their creative fields. Each interview will also shine a light on how libraries have impacted the lives of these talented individuals.
Let's begin with someone I've known for several years, best known as . . .
The Man of 10,000 Manga
Throughout his lifetime, Alexis Kirsch has owned over 1,000 volumes of manga. That's nothing compared to this feat: he's read over 10,000 volumes. 10,000! Yes, that totally means his power level is OVER 9,000!!! He has worked professionally in the manga scene as an editor since 2005 and he's done quite a bit of translation and adaptation work as well.
Read on for part 1 of my interview with him and take an inside look at the wonderful manga-filled world that is his job.
Who Are You, Where Are You From, and What Do You Do?
"My name is Alexis Kirsch and I work as a manga editor at Viz Media in San Francisco. As an editor for such Shonen Jump titles as One Piece, Bleach, and Bakuman, I work hard to make sure these originally Japanese books can be enjoyed in English. I manage the process of taking a Japanese comic and preparing it for print or digital release."
(Note: You can find these manga, as well as other Viz titles, in our online catalog.)
What Does Editing Entail?
"Manga editors will hire translators who go over the book and create an English script. The editor will then go over the script and make sure everything is adapted* well and free of errors. They will then send the script to a letterer who replaces the Japanese on the pages with English. The editor then makes sure everything is in the right place before sending the book to be printed."
(Note: *Adapting a script means ensuring that everything makes sense to readers in English. For example, a figurative expression in Japan about something being too expensive might not work when translated literally. The solution when adapting is to change the expression to one that readers in North America are familiar with, such as 'It cost an arm and a leg.')
How Does Being an Editor Satisfy Your Love For Manga?
"Well, it's an opportunity for those of us who can't be artists to still be in the industry. There're not many things greater than getting to work on your favorite manga. It can be stressful with constantly looming tight deadlines but it's worth it!"
When It Comes to Making Manga, How Important Is It to Consume Creative Works Outside of the Medium?
"This is not as important [for my specific job] since you are adapting a work that has already been created--though consuming various works and [other parts of] popular culture is definitely a plus. Some of the editors at Viz are big American comics fans and that serves them well."
What Do You Consider Your Accomplishments in Your Creative Career So Far?
"In the past I have also worked on helping artists and writers create their own original comics. To see something get off the ground and finally printed is very challenging but also rewarding. The process is a lot more hands on and stressful than merely editing Japanese manga but it is worth it!"
(Note: At Tokyopop, Alexis was in charge of several Original English Language, or OEL, manga series. He was the editor of my series, Rhysmyth. It was fun but a lot of hard work! He really helped me and artist Lincy Chan do our very best.)
Tune in Next Time . . . .
That's it for the first half of our interview. Look out for Part 2, which will include his advice on how to break into the manga industry, his library experiences, and more!
You can follow Alexis on Twitter under the name AlexisKJump.
Don't forget to "like" the Atherton and Brisbane libraries on Facebook to ensure you get more updates about manga and SMCL from me.

Read on to see how much this coastal breeze wedding cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
First and foremost, I made a significant attempt to estimate a budget and track the actual costs throughout the planning process. One thing that ended up costing a lot more than we anticipated was the stationery and printing! And because we were having it outside of DC, hotel costs, etc also came into play. I have to admit that it was difficult to come up with a good estimate in advance, and there are some things you just can't anticipate. (I still don't know a hard number of where we ended up.) Don't worry about cost to the point where it keeps you from enjoying the process, just do the best you can to prioritize! While we ended up being over my estimate, we wouldn't have changed a single thing.
Be organized, make the effort to research your vendors, take one day at a time, try to visualize things from other people's perspective when planning (parents, guests of different ages, guests with kids, etc.), stay in the moment the day of, and make sure to let your guests know their attendance is appreciated. But above all, my best advice would be to make your wedding personal.
Budget Breakdown:
Transportation: 1,400
Ceremony music: 700
Officiant: 400
Beauty (hair/make-up): 300
Photographer: 4,000
Wedding Planner: 3,000
Venue/catering: 20,000
Rentals: 8,000
Rehearsal dinner: 1,800

Awesome tent!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Reasons why this tent is awesome:
1. It's long so it fits tall people comfortably.
2. The tent pole construction makes more room in the top of the tent, making it feel roomier and also giving you more head room when you're sitting up.
3. It's got a long pocket down each side of the tent you can access no matter which way you're laying. They're big so you can stash all kinds of small lose-able items in them!
4. It's lightweight for how big it is.
5. It's got two doors for easy access and big vestibules to store your stuff you don't want in the tent with you.
6. Lots of mesh for looking at stars or scenery and keeping you cool.
7. MSR quality: they make awesome tents!
Set up
This tent is HUGE inside but packs down tiny especially with the help of a compression sack. LOVE it, just wish it had a vent...
Backcountry.com is the best company in the cloud
I bought the MSR Mutha Hubba tent from Backcountry a few years ago. The rainfly lining started to separtate and became very sicky which made the poles sticky as well. MSR replaced the rainfly but not the poles. The poles would stick to the new rainfly and the tent itself. I called Backcountry to ask if they would do anything. They told me to send the tent in. They replaced it. Backcountry has the best customer service out there. No other company comes close. I would buy my gear from this company even if I had to pay more. Their prices are great so that's not really an issue anyway. Five stars are not enough to rate Backcountry. I wish we had the option to go above and beyond that rating as they do for all of us who buy gear from them. Thank you Backcountry, you guys are awesome!
When I saw this tent in store, it almost...
When I saw this tent in store, it almost seemed as though the pole structure was sort of flimsy. Has anyone had any experience with this tent in bad weather, can it hold up against high winds?
MSR say it can hold up to 60kl/p (37/5ml/p)...it is a light Weight tent!
If u need a tent for high wind dont go for light Weight.
Hey Mike, aside from the actual rating and the lightweight nature of the tent, high winds require you to use your guy lines properly with any tent. Sustained winds and bigger gusts might cause some weird distortions at times, but you would be amazed at how rigid a structure you can get when you set up the extra anchor points. I use an even lighter weight 3-person MSR tent of similar design, and I've found that it holds up great against all the elements, including winds.
I pitched this tent for a night in Death Valley when the winds were sustained at 40mph and gusting up to 70mph. Every other tent was flattened and the Mutha Hubba was fine. Only problem was the fine silt that blew up under the fly and in through the mesh.
I second the Death Valley comment: EVERY other tent was just a pile of fabric. Also pitching technique does matter in high wind no matter the tent: pitch with the short end facing the wind, anchor your stakes. This tent has been on dozens of trips over five years and still going strong.

The state senator who is co-chairing a legislative committee looking into the high utility rates charged by ElectriCities says he believes it's possible for legislative action to lower the bills of those customers. ElectriCities serves 32 municipalities in Eastern Carolina.
Senator Buck Newton (R-Wilson) spoke to Heather King on WITN News at Sunrise Friday in an exclusive live interview.
"There's a lot of reason to be hopeful," Senator Newton said. "If we can find the right formula that we agree is the right formula, then I think we can get something done."
The formula Senator Newton speaks of is finding someone to buy some of ElectriCities assets in three nuclear facilities. The investment made decades ago has not paid off the way the utility hoped, and the massive debt gets passed on to customers every month in the form of higher utility bills.
Newton said it would be difficult to find a buyer interested in those assets.
The first meeting of the Municipal Power Agency Relief subcommittee was Tuesday in Raleigh. Newton says the committee plans to meet again in January with two more hearings planned after that.
When asked how long it could take before customers could see lower bills, Newton said it would be at least a year. "And that's if everything goes just right. We may be several years away, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be working on it," Newton said.
Once the committee completed its work and introduced legislation to lower bill of ElectriCities customers, the committee's focus would shift to convincing enough members of the General Assembly to supporting the measure. "I think those that understand the problem will be behind it," Newton said. "People not in this area aren't familiar with the problem. This is suffocating our economy."
WITN will continue to cover the work of this legislative committee and its potential impacts for Eastern Carolinians.
Tuesday marked the first of what will be at least two meetings of the Municipal Power Agency Relief subcommittee in the state capitol. Customers vented their frustrations and demand action.
Many residents and business owners in Eastern Carolina are dealing with outrageous power bills.Tuesday was a first step in trying to do something about them, specifically the rates for those in the 32 municipalities that make up the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency, managed by ElectriCities.
One by one, business owners approached the podium inside the legislative office building Tuesday in Raleigh.
"We've had industries leave Wilson like Mother Buttercup and and Lynnpack and they diplomatically said we cannot compete in the industries we're in with Wilson electric rates,"
said Billy Lamm of Lamm & Company Partners in Wilson.
It's the same story for residents struggling with astronomical bills.
The subcommittee is charged with trying to gain a better understanding of how to lower electric rates.
"When you have a community like Wilson, Rocky Mount, New Bern, or Greenville, and you have millions and millions of dollars being sucked out of the economy month after month after month, year after year- it takes its toll." said Sen. Buck Newton, (R) Subcommittee Co-chair
Thomas Joyner is president of Nash Produce. He says he's paid several bills that were more than $100,000 to the City of Rocky Mount. When he expanded his property, he decided to get power with Progress Energy--who had lines nearby.
"My rate to the city of Rocky Mount is 11.6 cents, my rate to progress energy is 6.6. Had I used the rate that I paid to Progress Energy for what I paid to the City of Rocky Mount last year I would have saved $170,000."
A big reason for the higher rates is the nearly $2.3 billion dollar debt the 32 municipalities share, which won't be eliminated until 2026.
"Before you turn on a power switch in Rocky Mount- 38% of our bill goes to debt-that's the facts-so before you use 1 kilowatt of energy-you're still subsidizing a decision that was made 30 years ago. So, help us please figure out how we can deal with that issue and how we can together keep our businesses competitive and if the businesses can't compete-what do you think about the fragile residents?" asked Rocky Mount City Councilman Reuben Blackwell
The committee plans to meet again, and bring in members of the power community.
If you have questions for the committee, we want to hear them. The chairman of that committee, Senator Buck Newton of Wilson will be live on WITN News at Sunrise Friday taking your questions. You can head to witn.com and submit questions by clicking on the ElectriCities story.
The high utility rates that members of the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency pay, which is managed by ElectriCities, will be under the microscope beginning Tuesday.
It was last spring as part of our "Power Struggle" series that we reported customers in those 32 Eastern Carolina municipalities are paying as much as 35-percent more than other utility customers. A big reason for that is the debt from buying into nuclear facilities decades ago.
Studying the rates ElectriCities members pay is the aim of a new General Assembly committee that meets Tuesday in Raleigh for the first time.
ElectriCities CEO Graham Edwards told us during our previous reports that he was not opposed to the idea. "Ya know the legislature can study rates in any way, shape or form they like. And we will be there to help them and support them anyway we can."
Edwards has also recently sent a letter to the committee saying they will work closely with the committee members , including openly sharing financial information and other data. You can read that letter by clicking on the related link below.
The committee will consider the feasibility of refinancing or restructuring the debt of the power agencies and look into the option of selling assets to reduce the debt and lower electric rates.
We'll keep you posted Tuesday on what happens at this first meeting.

Spannuth Repeats La Rêve (5.14d)
Ben Spannuth has cranked out the second ascent of La Rêve (5.14d) in Nevada's Arrow Canyon. First climbed by Jonathan Siegrist in February of 2012, La Rêve climbs a striking 100-foot line out of a limestone cave in the Nevada desert. The route was likely the vision and work of the prominent Arrow Canyon developer Kristian Merwin.

I would say that a curated cocktail by a master mixologist might be one of my top-five most enjoyable things. And thus, hospitality veterans Johnny Swet and Larry Poston are two of my new favorite people. They've partnered with newcomer Yanni Marmarou to open Rogue & Canon, an approachable bar and kitchen serving a truncated menu of classic dishes and cocktails. The dining menu and artisanal cocktails also reflect the "rogue" stylings of Swet, a.k.a. the cocktail maestro. This is a great spot for cocktails after work, a first date, or an easy (but delicious) meal without too much fuss (read: no reservations needed). Rogue & Canon is located at 128 West Houston Street on the corner of Sullivan Street.

Very interesting! So many people want to have Native American ancestry, and you do. :) When I first started researching my husband's family, I was surprised to learn how often Native Americans married the French Canadians.

Hi Wendy,
I believe that was more common in Quebec and out on the western plains.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough. "
How private aviation helps sports teams score
Brett Quigley had just finished a practice round for this year's Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta National in Georgia when a little voice in his head prompted him to turn on his cellphone. He's awfully glad he did. Moments later, a friend called to tell Quigley to hurry home because his wife was going into labor. Luckily, Quigley had access to a chartered business jet, a Hawker 800XP operated by Talon Air of Farmingdale, N.Y. Talon, which had signed Quigley to a two-year sponsorship, hustled him to Jupiter, Fla., in 45 minutes, just in time to witness the birth of his first child.
Without the Hawker, "Quigley would never have made it back in time for his daughter's birth," said Adam Katz, Talon Air's founder and CEO. Katz added that flying privately continues to benefit Quigley because it lets him maximize his time earning money on the links and spend more nights and weekends home with his family.
The list of sports stars, teams and executives who use business aircraft to further their careers is long and growing. Tiger Woods is a long-time fractional shareowner at NetJets, Wayne Huizenga's Miami Dolphins travel on his Boeing 757 and the Dallas Mavericks fly on their owner Mark Cuban's 757. Countless auto-racing teams, meanwhile, zip around the U.S. 37 weeks each year in what the teams have dubbed the nascar Air Force. And Takeo Spikes, the Philadelphia Eagles linebacker who is known to his fans as TKO, has a sponsorship agreement with Atlanta-based FlightWorks and travels using its FlightPASS block-charter program.
For Spikes, business jet travel is all about convenience. "There have been several occasions where I've had appointments in two cities two hours [flying time] away from each other," he said, "and I've able to make both of those on time and well rested.
"[Once] you fly private, you want to fly private all the time," he added. "There are no delays; you don't have to wait on anybody and the plane leaves when you need to leave."
Last year, Spikes had to make a quick personal trip to California during football season, and he used the time aloft to work on a strategy session for an upcoming game, something that he said he would have been unable to do on an airline. "Even though I wasn't there with everyone [on the team]," he said, "I still was seeing what we needed to be seeing [on a video monitor]."
Flexibility Is Key
What makes business aviation so useful for athletes and their colleagues is not just that it is the means to avoid crowded airlines and public terminals, but smaller airplanes enable them to use many more airports than are available to airlines. The scheduling flexibility is also key, allowing athletes to travel when they need to, on short notice if necessary and without having to arrive at the airport two to three hours early.
When weather affects flight plans, business aircraft have a singular advantage, according to Bill Thornton, chief pilot for Morgan-McClure Motorsports in Abingdon, Va. When the Morgan-McClure Citation 560 flies Daytona 500 champion Ward Burton and team members to race their famed No. 4 Chevrolet in the Nextel Cup Series, weather delays don't cause the same problems as they do for airlines.
Airline passengers usually have to wait for their airplane to arrive from another location, and if weather causes delays anywhere in the system, flights may be held up for hours. "When we have a weather delay," said Thornton, "as soon as it clears we can leave."
Thornton spoke as he was preparing to fly from Virginia Highlands Airport in Abingdon to Elmira, N.Y., a 75-minute trip, scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. The team needed to be on the track at 6 a.m. the following morning for the Watkins Glen Road Race. "Today they're able to spend [all day] with their families at home," he said, "and they're able to get a good night's sleep." To do the same trip on the airlines would involve driving 22 miles to Tri-Cities Regional Airport near Bristol, Va., then connecting through Charlotte, N.C., or Cincinnati. "It would take six to eight hours," Thornton said.
The Industry Adapts
The business aviation industry has adapted to the needs of traveling athletes, and many airport fixed-base operations (FBOs) offer separate facilities for VIP customers. At Signature Flight Support's new FBO at Boston Logan International Airport, the VIP section features separate air- and street-side entrances and its own security screening equipment. Signature also has a separate VIP facility at Chicago O'Hare and is adding one in San Francisco. Landmark Aviation's Toronto FBO offers a separate terminal complex with its own office, lounge, concierge and storage hangar.
Wilson Air Center, with three FBOs-one at Houston's Hobby Airport, one in Memphis and the third at Charlotte/Douglas International in North Carolina-frequently hosts sports-related travelers and also offers separate VIP facilities. Vice president Dave Ivey had worked before at an FBO handling sports teams and, when he joined Wilson Air, saw an opportunity to serve that market.
While the Memphis location caters to college football and basketball teams, when Wilson Air opened an FBO at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, the universe of sports customers expanded quickly. Charlotte is the center of that universe for nascar teams, and on race weekends, traffic starts flowing on Thursdays, Ivey said. "Multiple private charters of Boeing 737s, 727s, 757s and others descend into Charlotte to transport team members and staff to truck, Busch Series and Nextel Cup races." During the racing season, Charlotte handles 500 to 600 passengers per week.
For Wilson Air, the extra business means not only fueling and parking the airplanes but also moving baggage and arranging parking for team members' vehicles in Wilson Air's large parking lot. The nascar teams also take advantage of Wilson Air's private terminal, which is separate from the facilities used by most corporate travelers. At Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Million Air's FBO also targets the sports business, attracting teams like the Miami Heat, traveling in a Boeing 727, and the Seattle Mariners in a 757. "We have an active sports team business," said Tom Slavin, Million Air Lakefront's president.
The advantage that Million Air Lakefront has is that the airport is large enough to handle the big Boeings and close enough to the local sports action to make traveling there worthwhile for athletes. To make it easier for all types of airplanes to use his FBO, Slavin has a variety of handling equipment available, including airstairs, belt loaders for baggage, de-icing equipment and air-start carts for starting jet engines. The FBO sees about 100 sports-related flights a year. Another advantage of Lakefront is that landing fees are much lower than at Cleveland-Hopkins International, which all the airlines use.
While Million Air doesn't have a separate VIP entrance, the FBO uses its hangar in poor weather for clearing customs and security screening; then it buses team members to their airplane. The FBO also has fixed and pan-tilt-zoom cameras connected to a sophisticated security system. Lighting around the buildings and ramp area is enhanced, too, because Slavin worries that an athlete might fall while exiting an airplane at night on unfamiliar airstairs. "It can happen," he said. "People stumble occasionally. We don't want one of these big palookas falling down the airstair and suing."
Many FBOs located near nascar tracks see big influxes of traffic during race weekends and specialize in serving race teams. Guardian Jet Center in Ontario, Calif., invites race team flight crew members to watch the race on a big-screen TV at the FBO. Alliance Aviation Services in Fort Worth sets up a temporary heliport next to the FBO ramp so team owners and racers can hop a quick ride to the nearby Texas Motor Speedway, avoiding the inevitable traffic jams. And SheltAir Aviation's Daytona Beach, Fla. FBO is one of the busiest ramps in the country during the annual Daytona 500 race.
Charter's Role
It isn't just the airplane-owning teams and fractional-share companies that spur sports-related business aircraft travel; charter companies are in on the game as well.
When the soccer team Real Madrid had an urgent need for a rather large airplane, back when David Beckham was bending it for the Spanish team, London-based charter operator Air Partner got the call for a most unusual journey. Only six weeks before the planned start of Real Madrid's summer 2003 show match tour in China, Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand, sports division head Kevin Ducksbury got a call asking if it would be possible to locate an airplane large enough to carry the team on that mission.
In an extremely short time, Ducksbury and his Air Partner colleagues around the world were able to arrange to charter two Malaysia Airlines airplanes, an Airbus A330 and a Boeing 747. This included the added challenge of obtaining first-time-ever permission for a non-Chinese airline to fly passengers within China, according to Air Partner. The trip went beautifully, with the 24 soccer players wowing sell-out crowds in all four locations.
"Flexibility is the biggest benefit for the team," said Ngaire Duncan, director of commercial air charter sales for Air Partner. "You may have a team playing in a game and going into overtime. [An airline's] schedule isn't going to hold up for them." Or if a player gets injured, she said, "We can work around their schedule."
For sports teams, Air Partner not only supplies airplanes with seats large enough to accommodate bulky athletes but also video equipment that coaches use to prepare players for upcoming games or review just-played contests. "It's no longer lost time," said Duncan. "[The flight] becomes a productive event."
Fractional Flying
Athletes and team owners are a big part of the fractional-share business. "We have PGA Tour players, NFL players, team owners in major-league baseball and the National Football League and automobile racing people," said Patrick Gallagher, vice president of sales for Cleveland-based Flight Options.
For athletes with uncertain and frequently changing schedules, fractional shares offer an advantage over charter and even jet cards, he said, because of the shorter notification time a passenger must give to fly. Another benefit, Gallagher added, is that a shareowner can book two airplanes for a trip without having to pay a charter crew to be on standby or to fly an empty airplane for repositioning. An athlete who likes to travel with his or her family, for example, could use one airplane to get to the next event and send the family home on the other.
A fractional owner can also use different-size airplanes when necessary. Traveling alone, an athlete might need just a light jet, but with teammates or family, a larger aircraft will be required.
Back on Course
For Brett Quigley, the trip via Talon Air to witness his daughter's birth didn't mean he had to miss his first Master's Golf Tournament. Lily was born early Wednesday morning, April 4, and Quigley was able to return for the start of the tournament on Thursday, when he played all four rounds wearing his hospital ID bracelet and scored an eagle during his final round on the par-five 13th hole. "You can't put a price on that time with family," he said.
Sports agent Glenn Toby, who operates Infinite Sports Concepts in Atlanta, agrees with that assessment and often counsels his clients to fly on business aircraft. "It's extremely expensive," he said, "but the value exceeds the cost in terms of wear on the body, and you can relax."

1929 Ford Roadster - The Ultimate Model A?Written by Eric Geisert on October 1, 2009 Tom Lieb's '29 Ford Roadster
While superlatives are pretty easy to come by when discussing Tom Lieb's latest vehicle-a vintage Model A roadster reworked at SO-CAL Speed Shop-it's a bold statement to just come out and say it's the "ultimate" Model A.
Most folks can come up with examples of stunning Model A roadsters from all across the time spectrum (such as the AMBR-winning Niekamp roadster, the Barris-built Ala Kart, or even Rich Guasco's purple roadster) but Lieb's car is different-really different.
Part of what makes it different is the guy who owns it. Lieb grew up in the early '60s in Inglewood, California, just down the street from Iskendarian's cam-grinding business, and not too far from the automotive factories that covered the area. Ford, Chevrolet, and Chrysler all had manufacturing plants there, as well as some of the smaller auto companies. In 1958, at age 17, Tom bought a Model A roadster (the very one pictured here). Though the purchase of the car was kept from his parents, Tom rented a small garage from an old lady who didn't have a car so he could properly store and work on the car.
Always interested in performance, Tom looked around to see who was selling what and, after seeing how one company was able to take used cranks from the Big Three, add counterweights, and resell them to hot rodders, Lieb thought he could do the same. He befriended all of the wrecking yard owners and recyclers in the region and, when he wasn't going to them to pick up engines and transmissions, he'd have them delivered to his house where he lived with his parents. Trucks would pull up and began dropping off complete Hemis and other drivetrain components that he'd bought at discount and would eventually resell.
Eventually he needed to set up a business, and in the early '60s he created SCAT Enterprises, which today is one of the largest manufacturers of performance crankshafts in the world. The '60s was a great time to be in the performance engine business, and Tom remembers meeting just about anyone you can name in drag racing at one time or another (Lieb remembers selling Keith Black engine parts when Keith was still a Snap-On tool salesman, and he supplied Don Garlits a Hemi after he blew one up on his first trip to California, to name just two).
While his business took off, Lieb also became interested in all sorts of cars, including brass-era American cars as well as European exotics. Finding each and every car interesting, Lieb absorbed whatever he could about as many different types of cars he came across. The interest begat collecting cars, plus the parts and pieces for all of these odd and rare cars-a habit that continues to this day, nearly 50 years later.
Having known Pete Chapouris back when he started Pete & Jakes in the '70s and keeping track of him after he started SO-CAL Speed Shop in the '90s, Lieb felt comfortable in giving Pete the job to paint two of his more prized possessions: a Wills Sainte Claire roadster and a four-door sedan.
St. Claires were only manufactured between 1921 and 1927 in Marysville, Michigan, and few examples survive today. The two Lieb owns are exceptional in their restoration, which helped him win their class at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2000 and 2001.
So when it came time for Lieb to finally rebuild the Model A that Lieb had owned for nearly 50 years, Chapouris got the nod. Pete hooked Lieb up with his main creative fabricator and head "imagineer" Jimmy Shine.
Shine and Lieb hit it off, with Lieb then showing up at the shop every Thursday morning during the build to discuss what had been finished from the previous week, discuss what will happen in the next week, and to go through a new box of parts Lieb would bring over to see if they could be incorporated into the build. Chapouris also consulted on the build, dipping into his vast history with hot rods as well as remembering how important it was to keep proportions a part of the build formula, as they can either make or break the look of a hot rod. On the build end, SO-CAL's Richie Noguiera helped out in the fabrication department, working alongside Shine, as there was just so much on this car to get done.
The car is a conglomeration, but rather than a mismatched collection of items that don't go together, these pieces from different automotive eras fit together like they were made for each other. The ultimate example in the "form following function" theory, this car looks like it could have been designed in the early '30s with all of the best stuff available at the time. Check out the following photos and see just how different it really is.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Also found on the hood tops, internal bracing adds strength and rigidity to the hood sides, too (plus the sides will never "oil can" out of shape). Lieb always thought stock hinges looked like an afterthought so Lieb had Shine add a set of four latches typically found on a '21 to '28 Model A Duesenberg. They're strong and latch solid.This A roadster body is the same one Lieb bought in 1958. Luckily he had it stored for many years so the body didn't have many dings or dents when it was resurrected nearly 50 years later.Lieb doesn't like the way standard hood props just hang out in the open and obstruct the view of an engine, and he remembered he'd seen a hinge-prop combo on a White truck he'd owned (actually a vintage Yellowstone tour bus) and Jimmy took the idea and scratch-built a pair of hood latch 'n' props. They hold the hood up near the hood corner but, once the hood is down, they can rotate and secure the hood in place.Most folks know you have to modify a Model A firewall to fit most any type of engine, but the work doesn't have to be ugly! Shine likes the look of rivets, as they were used extensively back in the early days of coachbuilding and not something you find on current off-the-shelf products.Rivets are again used on the rear spring hump. Shine used an A rear crossmember with the new '32 frame (they used American Stamping rails), but he used a Masonite template to transfer the location of all of the stock factory frame holes onto Lieb's frame to make it look original.The stock A body was reinforced around the cockpit edge to gain strength, and the floor barely rises at the trans hump. The dash is a combination of '31 Ford truck roof sections mated to a custom face. The glovebox on the right opens, the one on the left is a dummy. Jimmy Shine milled the brass Auburn Dash, which will probably get a chrome finish later.An oxygen tank from a B-29 had its ends cut off and then added a larger center section that Jimmy fab'd out of stainless steel to create the car's gas tank. It's now about 13 1/2 gallons.It's hard to make a Model A post look graceful, but Shine was able to accomplish that by thinning out the middle section of the post and then leaning it back.
Shine also designed and fab'd the side curtains, which have to not only fit snug when upholstered but integrate into the top's design in an effort to keep the rain and wind out. When not in use, the side curtains will fit into small holders mounted to the floor behind the seat.If you look close, you'll see no glass covering each of the gauges as Lieb intends to cover the entire insert with a piece of glass, sealing in all five gauges at once. The '50s-era hanging pedals are ones Lieb scrounged at a swap meet back in the '70s.Can't place the headlights? Never seen an early '20s Wills Sainte Claire? Tom Lieb has owned more than one, and decided the era was correct for his Model A. The bottom driving light was rewired to be used as a turn signal.Shine calls this a "KISS boot" (after the shoes worn by the rock band) but it's the overflow tank for the radiator and cooling system. It's that shape because it's as large as it can be (for maximum efficiency) in the space that is allotted.Drilling out the backing plates would have made them look too much like a race car, so it was decided small stainless steel screens (a design found on '30s-era Bugattis and Alfas) would better serve the subtle look of this roadster.Many auto manufacturers utilized great designs in their emergency brake cable systems, and Lieb knows a lot those designs. He used the pillow blocks from a '21 Cadillac and had Shine shorten the shaft so each e-brake cable is pulled evenly.The more you look the more you find. The headers Lieb found in New Zealand and notes each exhaust port has its own runner (hard to see in this photo), which is reminiscent of today's headers. The large brass fittings located on the frame are remote lugs for the battery (which is located under the floorboard).Shine could have smoothed the framehorn and splash apron into one big jelly bean, but it wouldn't have looked right on this car. Instead, he extended the edge of the framerail so the splash apron had something to mount up against, and secured it with simple screws.
A rear anti-sway bar (which came from an '89 Bronco II found in a junkyard) bolts to the rear split wishbone. The riveted pan up above was built by Shine-it could have been a non-riveted piece but it wouldn't have looked anywhere near as cool!Another Wills Sainte Claire item is the taillight but, on that car, it mounts horizontally. Lieb rotated it 90 degrees to copy the design of the headlight as well as the cover of the quick-change. The driving/stoplight is on the bottom while the backup light up top really works as it's wired into the gearbox.The caps look like standard '36-era Ford truck caps, but they are made from machined billet and double as dust covers. They are secured to the wheel with a special custom-made wrench.Many of the engine pieces were also hand fabricated from brass before they'll eventually be dipped in chrome. (We kinda like the look of the brass).Lieb certainly didn't want store-bought air cleaners on his ride, so he had Shine adapt a set from a '29 Lincoln. They have small impellors inside, which not only act as mini "superchargers" due to the engine's vacuum but also centrifugally throw any small debris to the edge of the cap and out the bottom of the air cleaner.

Fee paying place - International (IFP)
A fee paying place is one for which the University does not receive any Government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with Temporary Resident status, provided that there is no limitation on study and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have Permanent Resident status in Australia.
The actual course fees charged by Deakin University, is based on the course and the study load (EFTSL) being undertaken. The study load (EFSTL) value of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
The fees per course/unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.

Hi everyone,
We're getting ready to migrate from 7.2.1 NE to 8.0.4. I was thrilled to see that Zimbra is finally supporting CentOS with 8.0.4 so we're planning to migrate from RHEL to CentOS at the same time. The only question is what the best method is. We've looked at the wiki page for RHEL 5 to RHEL 6 upgrade options (Rhel5 to rhel6 upgrade options - Zimbra :: Wiki). From what support has told us, they won't support 7.2.1 on CentOS at any point in time so the modified rsync option is not really an option. According to support the only option going from RHEL 5 to CentOS 6 is the first option where you add a CentOS 6 server (running 8.x) as an LDAP slave to an existing installation and then use the zmmboxmove command to move mailboxes from one server to another.
As an aside we're a relatively small organization with 262 user mailboxes, 110GB of local storage, and 265GB of HSM storage.
I understand that this loses the single instance store and you need to run the zmdedupe tool to get things back in line. But I remember the Zimbra support engineer mentioning that there was a potential for blowing your installation out of the water when promoting / demoting LDAP servers if you didn't do it correctly.
Has anyone used this method to migrate from 7.x to 8.x? Did it work OK? Did you have any problems? What would your recommendations be?
THANKS in advance!

Date Movie (2006)
Date Movie Synopsis
The twisted minds of two of the six screenwriters behind Scary Movie Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg this time skewer the romantic comedy genre. The new film tells the story of hopeless romantic Julia Jones (Hannigan), who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Funckyerdoder (Campbell). But before they can have their Big Fat Greek Wedding, theyll have to Meet the Parents; hook-up with The Wedding Planner, and contend with Grants friend Andy a spectacularly beautiful woman who wants to put an end to her Best Friends Wedding.
There are people who find this sort of humor funny, and people that dont. The people that do support artists like Brittney Spears and probably think that 9/11 was an invasion of the U.S. by Iraq. Then theres the rest of us. You know, High School graduates.
Maybe Im being a little unfair. Date Movies trailer isnt absolutely horrible. Theres a bit of somewhat creative fat-suite comedy mixed into it, and Alyson Hannigon is in it. Thats always a plus. But beyond the presence of an ex-Buffy babe this is basically Scary Movie. What theyre parodying is irrelevant, expect more of that same sort of obvious humor.
If youre looking for sketch comedy (because thats really what this is), youre better off watching Saturday Night Live, a show which, after the CHRONIC what cles of Narnia is officially getting better again. Give me more of that Sandberg kid and less of movies like this.
