Office of the Chancellor
Western Carolina University
65 West University Way
501 H. F. Robinson Administration Building
Welcome to Western Carolina University!
It is my great privilege to serve as chancellor of this excellent university. The majestic mountains that surround our beautiful campus are a metaphor for this ambitious institution which is soaring ever higher.
WCU's academic reputation is rising steadily as entering students come to campus increasingly well-prepared to meet the rigorous standards of our superb faculty who, in turn, commit themselves to their students' success. Programs ranging from teacher education and business administration to criminal justice and project management continue to collect national accolades from independent reviewers and outside accrediting agencies. U.S. News and World Report has ranked Western Carolina among the top master's degree-granting public institutions in the South.
Founded as a teacher preparatory school to bring higher education and career opportunities to the people of Western North Carolina, the university has grown in size, scope, and mission. While remaining true to our historical tenets, WCU is now a major educational, scientific, cultural, community and economic development force, not only in the mountain region, but across North Carolina, the Southeast, and the nation.
WCU fundamentally values civic engagement and service learning, offering unique opportunities for those who truly aspire to make a difference in their world. At Western Carolina, students learn to do good as they learn to do well.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about Western Carolina University, and to schedule a visit to campus to get to know more about the Western Way. Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, an alumnus, a community leader, or a friend of WCU, remember:
The higher you climb, the better the view!

1929 Ford Coupe - Johnson & JohnsonWritten by on May 30, 2007 Contributors: Douglas Reed More Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Hot rods are a matter of expression that can range anywhere from bare-bones rusty rods to pro-built "1-800-Rods." Our tastes land somewhere in the middle, so it reconfirmed our faith in the hobby when we ran across this homebuilt rod assembled by a father and his son in a barn on the Kansas prairie.
Gene, the father in this tale, has been collecting parts and building traditional hot rods for 50 years. When Gene's son, Dean, decided to follow in his father's footsteps by building an early '50s-style hot rod, he just had to convince his dad to let him use some of the parts that had been accumulated over the years.
Starting with an idea and a few parts, Dean began looking for a chassis. His brother, D.J., just happened to have a grain cart (to feed livestock on his ranch) that was mounted on a '32 Chevy frame he was willing to donate to the cause. The long curved front framehorns with the straight 5-inch-deep 'rails and 6-inch kickup over the rear axle were just right for a highboy hot rod. Dean located a '40 Ford X-member and a Model A frame willing to give up its front and rear crossmembers.
Gene had a dropped axle, which he had modified 25 years earlier, hanging on the barn wall that would work to get the rake they wanted. The dropped axle started as a '34 axle with the ends cut off next to the spring-perch mounts; 1940 axle ends were then bridged to the '34 center by using the cutoff '34 end pieces. The five pieces were carefully welded together in four places. Finally, the webs at the ends were ground smooth to resemble a heated and stretched dropped axle. Lightening holes were also drilled in the center web. The completed axle is approximately 5 1/4 inches lower than a stock Model A.
A '36 Ford wishbone was split with '35-48 tie-rod tube threaded sections welded into the ends and then attached with tie-rod ends to fabricated brackets that bolt to the inside of the frame. An F-1 steering box was mounted to the top of the 'rail because, as Gene puts it, "A traditional hot rod must have a draglink-type steering such as those used in '28-34 Fords." The F-1 box was chosen because it uses the same worm gear and sector as the '37-48 car, but it has the same draglink-type steering as the '28-34. This makes driving a lot more enjoyable than the original while retaining the hot rod look.
When it came to stopping this little hot rod, Gene just so happened to have a set of Franklin aluminum drums left over from an old Sprint Car that were put to use with a set of '39 brake shoes and drilled backing plates. A '39 Ford pedal assembly activates the combo.
The body was the one thing the Johnsons didn't have when the project was started, so the search began once the chassis was finished and the multi-carbed small-block was ready to fire. The plan was to find a body good enough for a hot rod, but after several months of looking at some really rough bodies, Dean decided to call Gary Cooper of McPherson, Kansas, who had given him a lead on a complete '29 coupe. Gary had started to restore it for a customer 20 years earlier, but the customer lost interest, took it home, and put it in a barn.
The body appeared to be in remarkable condition, as did the rest of the coupe. The Johnsons bought the complete car and sold everything but the body to a man wanting to build a speedster-a win-win for everyone. The body was so clean and straight-even the original wood was in good shape-that Dean and Gene couldn't bring themselves to chop it. After doing a little bodywork, Gene sprayed the body in blue in their barn.
The front turn signals are another cool component on the coupe. Not wanting to detour from the '50s theme they had followed all along, but needing the safety of turn signals, the Johnsons modified the headlight high-beams to flash as turn indicators. As Gene put it, how many times do you have your high-beams on when you're turning? Cool idea.
The coupe turned out better than expected. The '32 Chevy 'rails with the dropped axle, split wishbone, banjo rear axle, and Firestones mounted on wide-fives with stainless Spyders keep the coupe traditional and totally cool. The way the Johnsons see it, maybe there is some truth in the saying, "The total vehicle is greater than the sum of its individual parts."
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Dean Johnson
Hutchinson, Kansas
1929 Ford coupe
Gene and Dean started with a set of '32 Chevy 'rails and shortened them to 106 inches by removing 4 inches just in front of the rear kickup. A recessed boxing plate was welded inside of each 'rail for reinforcement. Model A front (flattened 1 1/4-inch) and rear crossmembers were added, along with a '40 Ford X-member fitted with a 3/16-inch plate to provide a transmission mount. A '39 Ford pedal assembly was mounted on the X-member with the pedal arms tweaked to fit the narrowed frame. Curved pieces of 1/8-inch strap iron were welded over the ends of the framehorns to look similar to a Model A frame. Split wishbones and a shortened '34 spring with reversed eyes locate a homebuilt dropped axle; Pete & Jake's tube shocks are mounted to a pair of F-1 shock mounts. Moving to the rear, the Johnsons wanted an open-drive axle mounted with the traditional Model A de-arched buggy spring. Although it is usually not recommended, they used a "mismatched" ring-and-pinion combination. A '35 Ford 4.11:1 ring gear and a '42-47 pickup 4.11:1 pinion gear were fitted by carefully selecting axlehousing shim gaskets. It's still running quietly after 2,500 miles. The '35-36 axles and housings were used for the spring perch and radius-rod mounts. Ladder bars were made from a combination of '35 Ford radius rods and aluminum aircraft bomb bay struts.
Gene and Dean felt a hot rod should look, sound, and perform in a way that grabs your attention-multiple carburetors and a wicked idle generally fill these needs. The Johnsons got just what they wanted with a '57 Chevy small-block punched out to 301 ci and filled with Jahns pistons. A Lunati cam (Duntov replica) was installed along with an Edelbrock 3x2 intake topped with a trio of Stromberg 48s and 1961 vintage Honest Charley chrome oval air cleaners. A finned coil cover, a pair of vintage Cal Custom valve covers, a generator, and a remote oil filter complete the retro look. A Camaro T5 five-speed gives the little coupe both performance and economy but is concealed with a modified '35 shift lever topped with a '37 knob.
Wheels & Tires
When it came to wheels, Dean chose 16x4 '36-39 wide-fives covered in Vermillion Red acrylic enamel and accented with stainless '36 Spyder hubcaps. The wheels were then fitted with 4.50x16 and 6.50x16 Firestone Champion Deluxe bias-ply blackwalls.
Body & Paint
The only modifications made to the body were moving the gas tank to the trunk, notching the rear fenderwells to clear the axles, and punching 45 louvers in the visor, which was done by Larry Wharton. Gene sprayed the body in their barn with an Albert Blue topcoat.
The interior was turned over to Steve Stegman of Great Bend, Kansas, who covered the stock seat and door panels with red vinyl rolls 'n' pleats. A '38 column with a deluxe banjo wheel and the Stewart Warner Wings gauges keep with the '50s look. No air conditioning or stereo here-the only addition to the cabin was a 1940s Alvis hot-water heater with a '33 Ford grille logo.

MOUNDSVILLE - A faulty vote count Tuesday may have shown the wrong candidate winning the race for a Marshall County Commission seat.
Incumbent Democrat Commissioner Jason "Jake" Padlow appears to have been unseated by Republican Robert Miller Jr. due to additional votes being added to the tally.
Tuesday's unofficial count - which did not include early voting and absentee ballots - indicated Padlow had bested Miller by 61 votes. With the addition of early and absentee votes, Miller is leading Padlow by 80 votes.
Article Photos
But Marshall County Clerk Pest said about 165 additional provisional ballots and 14 absentee ballots remain to be considered during the vote canvass this week.
On Election Day, Pest reported a 45 percent voter turnout in the county. With the addition of the absentee and early votes, turnout amounted to 58.83 percent with 6,173 ballots cast for Miller and 6,093 for Padlow.
Tuesday night totals had Padlow with 4,797 votes and Miller with 4,736. But 2,912 early and absentee votes had been overlooked.
When the error was corrected, Pest said, the commission race was the only question on the ballot to see its results change.
All election results remain unofficial until the county commission meets at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to canvass the votes.
"All of the votes were tallied in the system on election night, and the precinct by precinct reports reflect that," Pest said Sunday, noting those reports are withheld from the public until the canvass in order to protect the ballots of provisional and absentee by mail voters.
"The error was not in the programming or any technical problem," she said, adding that when the final report was run on Tuesday, workers calculated the "Election Day group" of results rather than the "election totals."
"We regret that this happened and, unfortunately, it did affect one race," Pest said. "It was human error, and I take full responsibility."
Pest said she discovered the problem Saturday while preparing for the canvass.
She said she immediately called Commissioners Padlow, Don Mason and Brian Schambach, who in turn contacted Miller to inform him.
Miller could not be reached Sunday for comment.
Padlow, however, said he already had congratulated Miller on his apparent victory.
But Padlow questioned whether proper procedures had been followed in determining the new result.
"I think that the integrity of the system has been violated by two people thinking they can go into the system and start running and retabulating ballots without any ballot commissioners there, without any county commissioners there and without anybody from the prosecutor's office there," Padlow said. "The system has been compromised by somebody going into that office and breaking a seal on a bag without any presence of any election official there. The whole election probably should be thrown out."
Padlow stressed that nine tests of the voting machines had been conducted prior to the election and that all three county commissioners, the prosecutor and two ballot commissioners had been present for those tests. On Saturday when the tally changed, however, Padlow said only Pest and Deputy Clerk Winnie Reilly were present.
"They changed the vote without anybody's supervision," Padlow said. "Policy and procedure has been busted open in this. I know there's a seal that has been broken under no supervision whatsoever. Why are two people in that clerk's office on a Saturday afternoon counting votes and changing the results of an election?"
Padlow said he believes Pest had determined the new result on Friday and notified Mason but did not notify Padlow, Schambach or Prosecutor Jeff Cramer until Saturday.
"This is not sour grapes. I'm a man, I can take it if I lost," Padlow continued. "I'm just disappointed in the way it happened. The system was breached. I still don't know what happened when they went in there, and nobody does," he added.
Padlow did not know whether Pest or her office would face any consequences for the error but said, "We've got some good people looking into this."
Schambach on Sunday confirmed that an error had occurred during the count Tuesday.
"At this juncture, we are reviewing the process and we will make forthcoming decisions this Tuesday," Schambach said.
He also took the opportunity to commend Padlow for the job he has done as a commissioner, pointing to Padlow's involvement with organizations ranging from volunteer fire departments to the Family Resource Network.
"What people don't see is the job Jake has done for the county and the job that he does for the county," Schambach said.
Schambach said he did not know if the clerk's office would face any consequences for the error.

LEXINGTON, Va., Nov. 5, 2012 – VMI employees and cadets made good use of the North Post firing range Oct. 13 as Lt. Col. Bill Bither and Sergeants 1st Class Chris Bean and Carmelo Echevarria offered the NRA Basic Pistol Course.
"The basic pistol course is an eight-hour course. We have several instructors here that are certified through the NRA, and I'm working to certify more instructors to make the program even better," said Bither. "We've had pretty good turnout from faculty and staff who've come to learn about the responsibilities of owning and operating firearms."
With an emphasis on safety, the course offers basic information on all aspects of owning a firearm, from firing technique to cleaning and maintenance.
"With what we're doing in the pistol course, you're getting all the instruction on how to safely handle and operate a pistol," said Bither. "That includes the different actions, different types of malfunctions that could occur, types of ammunition, and the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship. Then we top it all off with a practical exercise on a live-fire range."
The live-fire exercise is conducted using two pistols. A .22 caliber Ruger is fired first to build confidence since the smaller round produces very little recoil. Students then move up to the 9mm Beretta M-9, the standard pistol used by U.S. military forces.
"After the students come through and take the course, it doesn't stop there," said Bither. "We're offering open range opportunities every other Thursday in the fall, where faculty, staff, and cadets can come up on their own and shoot."
These activities are being supported by VMI's range safety officers: faculty, staff, and cadets who have been trained to safely supervise firing range activities through another NRA course.
"We work closely with the NRA in their range safety officer program as well to certify our faculty, staff, and cadets. In the past year or so, we've been able to certify close to 30 safety officers," said Bither.
A greater number of range safety officers translates not only to a safer environment, but to more focused training and a better overall experience for users of the range.
"There is a growing interest in the Corps for range days in which they would be allowed to utilize North Post and shoot," said Cadet Josh Lawrence '13. "Many of us on the rifle team are qualified as range safety officers."
Lawrence, the captain of VMI's men's NCAA rifle team, is looking forward to the second year of the 3rd Class marksmanship program, where he'll work alongside other range safety officers and the commandant's staff to train fellow cadets.
"In this program we taught the 3rd Class range safety, basic principles of marksmanship, how to load, unload, zero, and qualify using the AR-15s. Many of the cadets we were training had never fired a rifle or any firearm for that matter," said Lawrence. "Last year, despite being the first year we did it, was well organized and very professionally run with the help of the new sergeants."
Cadets in the marksmanship program are trained on the commercially available Rock River LAR-15 .223 cal./5.56 mm, which is a strictly semi-automatic version of the military's M-16 rifle.
In addition to serving users on post, the range is becoming a resource for organizations across the region.
"The range is getting used a lot," said Sgt. 1st Class Carmelo Echevarria. "From local law enforcement to federal organizations, it's a very popular little range."
Members of the commandant's staff offering these various training opportunities are also drawing on their years of military service to round out the instruction.
"I think that between having our guys with military experience and using the NRA education programs, it's going to be a great combination," said Bither. "It's the best of both worlds, and it's going to work out really well."
Several dates in the spring are scheduled for open range hours, and another NRA basic pistol course is planned for next semester.

Industries other than concrete production may manufacture the goods they sell, but few supply the raw materials and deliver the finished goods, too. Therefore, the concrete producer's accounting requirements are different from those of managers in other industries. Still, producers often attempt to fit the square peg of some accounting software that has no capability of handling the nuances of our industry into the round hole of their operations. Many believe that the basic principles of accounting are the same across all business sectors and, to an extent, they are right. However, the data handled by software systems are unique to certain industries. While this probably has little bearing on accounting principles, it has a huge impact on your customer service.
Not all accounting packages allow you to handle accounts receivable inquiries by drilling down to the delivery ticket level so that you can answer collections questions. Nor do they allow you to invoice by job, plant, or project. It is also difficult to find a package that can handle a multitiered taxing matrix common to an industry that offers both manufacturing and transportation.
You probably won't find a non-industry-specific package that can turn an aggregate delivery ticket into a hauler payable. Also, you probably won't find one with the ability to report profitability by job, plant, division (concrete or aggregate), or company. Specialized industry requirements call for specialized tools.
Several requirements in the data handling and accounting practices in the concrete and aggregates industries make them different from any other business sector. The article focuses on four of them: the delivery ticket, the price matrix, specialized invoicing, and sales taxes.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Marlene Alvarez is a breast cancer survivor who works and volunteers at the Arlington Free Clinic. She credits the clinic for saving her life.
"I felt a lump under my arm. I didn't know I had to check under my arm," Marlene says.
She was in a breast health class at the clinic when she found her stage 3 breast cancer. She was diagnosed in 2003 and is now in remission and feeling great. Choosing to give back, she spends her time sharing her journey with other women and teaches her own class to help build awareness about breast health and early detection.
Marlene says every woman needs to "be responsible for your annual mammogram which is the key word in my class and the other one is be responsible for you self examination."
These classes are available because of a Komen grant. The Arlington Free Clinic provides medical care to many uninsured women and men in the county, but it can't reach everyone. This grant is helping the clinic expand its breast health mission even further into the community.
Martha Ware is the nursing manager for women's health at the clinic and says, "We now have a 5th clinic that we have opened up to people that don't get into our lottery or perhaps they are not our patients.
"Our goal is for every woman who is 40 years or older that lives in Arlington that is low income, that doesn't have insurance, we want them all to get mammograms every year."
Martha also says the women in this program receive more than just a mammogram. All women attend the class and receive a full breast health exam with one of the volunteer medical staff before their screening. Also, if any tests are abnormal, the clinic takes care of their follow up needs.
Many of the breast cancer survivors at the clinic, including Marlene and Aregash Demoz, say they can't thank the people and the breast health classes enough. They know how much they help improve their overall care both physically and emotionally.
"They take care of me good. They take care of me perfect. I tell them thank you," says Aregash.
The grant has also provided funds to hire someone to help with community outreach. The clinic is getting its message out to churches and other community organizations.

In response to Dread27's comment:
In response to two-sheds' comment:
I would consider such a marriage a farce and not a real marriage. These sorts of things only come up because marriage has legal implications beyond the simple definition I listed above. These legal implications have unintended consequences, as almost all legal constructs do.
Once you start trying to define something in a legal manner, it becomes vastly more complicated. You end up having to specify exceptions and specifics for every person who is going to try to game the system.
I'm doing well, too. Thanks!
So the legal definition of marriage is irrelevant to the actual definition?
Not going to answer for Two-Sheds (he's fully capable of doing that for himself!) but, IMO... I wouldn't go so far as to say irrelevant but I'd say that the legal definition goes off on a tangent of it's own.
"Marriage" is used to divide us as well as bringing us together. The State grants benefits based on marital status and as such, needs a formal definition of who is/isn't married to determine who gets/doesn't get those benefits. This is where the legal definition comes into play.
If one disregards the possibility of those benefits then the legal stuff becomes irrelevant to the larger concept.

(Washington) - The United States Helsinki Commission will hold a hearing to examine U.S. policy toward the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the institution which evolved from the Helsinki process.
The hearing will review U.S. priorities in the 55-nation OSCE region with a particular focus on longstanding human rights concerns. The terrorist attacks of September 11 have prompted discussions over what role the OSCE might play in combating terrorism. The hearing will explore the OSCE as an instrument for advancing U.S. interests and promoting shared values.
Since the end of the Cold War, the OSCE has evolved into a singular instrument for advancing U.S. foreign policy goals in Eurasia. It remains the only pan-European forum for military-security negotiations; it has grounded multilateral conflict resolution efforts from the Balkans to Chechnya; and the OSCE's annual human rights implementation meeting will be the first major human rights meeting for the United States since its ouster from the U.N. Human Rights Commission earlier this year.
"We are not going to stop talking about the things that matter to us – human rights, religious freedom and so forth and so on. We're going to continue to press those things. We would not be America if we did not."
The 1999 Istanbul Charter of the OSCE declares that "Participating States are accountable to their citizens and responsible to each other for their implementation of their OSCE commitments." The Charter also states that "International terrorism, violent extremism, organized crime and drug trafficking represent growing challenges to security. Whatever its motives, terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is unacceptable. We will enhance our efforts to prevent the preparation and financing of any act of terrorism on our territories and deny terrorists safe havens."
This hearing will examine U.S. priorities and human rights concerns in the OSCE region and how the OSCE can serve to advance those goals and address human rights violations; the pros and cons of the institutionalization and bureaucratization of the OSCE and field activities; and openness and transparency of the Helsinki process.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

I was planning on making a knife or more like learning how to and was wondering what materials are needed to get started.
I was planning on making a knife or more like learning how to and was wondering what materials are needed to get started.
Z2K, are looking to forge a knife, grind a knife or put handles on a blade blank?
well, the first thing i would suggest is do a lot of research on the process. use the google fu & this forum has some amazing knife makers who would be more than willing to answer any questions when ya get started. after researching the whole process, if you want quick & easy, get a knife kit from online someplace & finish it up. if you want to get into making it entirely yourself, get some decent steel (i suggest a good carbon steel) a file or 2, some sandpaper, & go to town. from there you can decide to heat treat yourself, or send it to somebody else to do for you if you're not ready for that leap. i'm actually in the process of making a few knives myself & have gotten some great info from here. mistakes can/will happen, just don't get discouraged & keep at it. by the way ........ WE LOVE PICS!!!
I'm looking to forge if everything turns out well.
What kinda files do you need?
i would say at the very least a good nicholson file: mill, bastard cut, 10" long at the least. you can use it for stock removal & adding the bevels by hand. if you want more, can add some finer files to clean things up, maybe a round file, or half round file for curves.
btw, sent you a PM

A vice or a way to clamp the blade in place.
HA! yeah, can't believe i forgot that part, thanks Aven.
itsken78 It's easy to forget. It's like a bench, we kinda assume that it will be there.
Z2K clamping you knife can be as simple as screwing it down through the bolt holes to the edge of your bench. You'll wear you bench out if you do it a lot, but it will work for the first few knives.
also you might want to get a copy of the 50 dallor knife shop that book helped me alot

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - On this night, youth prevailed over
Behind a monster night from Serge Ibaka and a dominant third quarter, the
Oklahoma City Thunder ran their winning streak to 11 consecutive games with a
107-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in a marquee matchup between the top
two teams in the Western Conference.
Ibaka racked up game-highs of 25 points and 17 rebounds, while Russell
Westbrook tallied 22 points and nine assists to help the defending West
champions record the franchise's longest unbeaten stretch since an 11-game run
by the Seattle SuperSonics from Nov. 7-24, 1996.
Kevin Martin contributed 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting off the bench and Kevin
Durant finished with 19 points for Oklahoma City, which outscored the Spurs by
a 29-16 count in the third quarter to break open a close contest.
Tony Parker had 14 points and seven assists and Nando de Colo also notched 14
points for the suddenly struggling Spurs, now losers in three of their last
four outings following an 18-4 beginning to the season.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Give thanks that the Farmers Insurance
Open is underway. Maybe now we can focus on golf.
Phil Mickelson took the podium in La Jolla, Calif., on Wednesday -- a day
before his second PGA Tour start of the season. But none of the questions
concerned Lefty's game, his three previous championships at this tournament or
his 17-under finish at last week's Humana Challenge.
Instead, Mickelson was pummeled with queries related to his now infamous "tax
dodge" comments from Sunday.
For those of you who understandably had something better to do over the past
four days, here's a brief synopsis of the events:
Following his 37th-place tie in La Quinta, the California native said he was
considering "drastic changes" due to the increased tax rates in his home
state, as well as on the federal level.
Then, people overreacted.
Many labeled Mickelson another out-of-touch, spoiled athlete complaining over
his millions while ordinary Americans struggle with the crippling
constrictions still felt by the recession.
Others fretted that Phil was plotting retirement, or even relocation to
another country.
The din reached such unexpected heights that Mickelson opted to release a
statement on Monday, which read:
"I absolutely love what I do. I love and appreciate the game of golf and the
people who surround it. I'm as motivated as I've ever been to work on my game,
to compete and win championships ...
"I'm like many Americans who are trying to understand the new tax laws. I
certainly don't have a definitive plan at this time, but like everyone else I
want to make decisions that are best for my future and my family.
Finances and taxes are a personal matter and I should not have made my
opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and
assure you I intend to not let it happen again."
Then came Wednesday's press conference, in which Mickelson furthered his
apology, expounded on his statement, and injected some much-needed wit into
the situation, comparing the gaffe to his second shot on No. 18 at the 2006
U.S. Open.
"So this happened to be way right, but way off the tents," Mickelson said,
eliciting a delayed chuckle from the mob. "You know, I've made some dumb, dumb
mistakes, and, obviously, talking about this stuff was one of them. Like
Winged Foot, where I tried to carve a 3-iron around a tree and get it up by
the green, I make double bogey and lost the U.S. Open."
Way right - get it? Not bad, Phil.
Mickelson has certainly been known to insert foot in mouth before, but in
reality, Sunday's comments weren't nearly as controversial as the collective
reaction suggested.
Wealthy individuals have shirked high taxes in the past and they will do so in
the future; a fact echoed by Tiger Woods during his Tuesday press conference:
"I moved out of (California) back in '96 for that reason."
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who was an economic advisor to the Carter
administration, added that Mickelson's decision would not be "a unique thing"
for "people making decisions based on tax rates in California, on top of
federal rates."
If anything, Mickelson was guilty of failing to keep his mouth shut. It was an
ill-conceived time to hop on a soapbox. But it wasn't the first time he pulled
such a stunt - remember when he complained that Rees Jones and modern
architecture were "killing the game"?
It was consistent with his character. And it is consistent with what we've
come to expect from our professional athletes. We learned a long time ago,
once the media magnifying glass was directed at anti-incinerating levels, that
athletes are just as fallible as regular folk. They are cross-section of the
populous; they make mistakes and say dumb stuff.
So let's all move on and focus on actual golf. Because our love of the game is
what, in part, allowed Phil to make all those taxable millions in the first

Debra Wood, RN
A pressure sore is a lesion that develops on the skin and underlying tissues due to unrelieved pressure usually over a bony prominence. The skin and tissues rely on an adequate blood supply for oxygen and nutrients. When tissues are compressed for an extended period from hours to days, blood supply can be cut off, leading to development of a sore.
Pressure sores result from lying or sitting in one position for too long a time. Prolonged pressure cuts off the blood supply to tissues that are compressed between a bony area and a mattress, chair, or other object. Without oxygen and nutrients, the tissue starts to die.
Several factors contribute to the development of pressure sores including:
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Symptoms of a pressure ulcer may include:
If the redness remains a half hour after the pressure has been removed, the skin will likely break down. The reddened area may blister and a shallow ulcer may develop. Fluid may drain. The wound can deepen and can extend through fat and muscle to the bone. The area may be painful. The wound can become infected, with redness, swelling, odor, pus, warmth, and fever. If untreated, the infection can progress to
gangrene, a blood infection, or an infection of the bone beneath.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. The doctor will examine the ulcer and note the location, shape, size, depth, stage, and any formation of pockets or cavities. Pressure sores are staged according to the depth and tissues that are involved.
Tests may include:
Treatment aims to relieve pressure on the area, heal the wound, avoid complications, and prevent future pressure sores. In many cases, a caregiver will provide care for your pressure sores.
Treatment includes:
Clean soiled skin after each bowel movement and urination. Wash with mild soap and warm water. Rinse well. Pat dry. Do not rub. Apply lotion as recommended by the doctor.
A nurse or doctor will teach you or your caregiver how to tend to the wound. Some basic instructions include:
Eat a well-balanced meal. Your doctor may recommend vitamins, minerals, or supplements.
The doctor may surgically remove dead tissue and skin grafts may be needed. In some situations, electrotherapy may be used to stimulate blood flow and promote healing.
If you are diagnosed with pressure sores, follow your doctor's
Most pressure ulcers can be prevented. Suggestions include:

Good buy if you dont use too many advance functions!This is a very cute calculator and will surely make heads turn! However, not a very good choice if you are a hardcore numeric person (like me) cause then half of the shortcuts dont work here. There is unnecessary tax and time buttons, which you dont use at all.. instead could have put a step check button. So, if you are a finance student( i am a CA Final Student) then, dont buy it. You would need another secondary calculator otherwise!

Montpellier, France (Sports Network) - Richard Gasquet eased to a straight-set win over fellow Frenchman Benoit Paire to capture the Open Sud de France title.
The third-seeded Gasquet needed a mere 69 minutes to post a 6-2, 6-3 victory in Sunday's final. He improved his match record to 14-1 this year and became the first two-time winner on the ATP World Tour in 2013.
Gasquet also won the Australian Open tune-up in Doha to open the year and helped France to a first-round Davis Cup win over Israel with a pair of singles victories. His lone loss this year came against countryman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the fourth round of the Aussie Open.
Sunday's rout gave Gasquet his ninth career title and his third in France. He also won tournaments in his native country in Lyon in 2006 and Nice in 2010.
Paire, seeded eighth this week, was appearing in his second ATP final. He was also the runner-up last May in Belgrade.
Gasquet, who improved to 9-10 all-time in title matches, earned a first prize of $100,000.

Just to show that I have started a map and not just been writing like a madman. Here is the Entry hall and 1st room.
### Latest WIP ###
Attachment 52832
I haven't entered a challenge for a couple months, even though I wanted to. However this challenge sounds to good to pass up. So I am going to see if I can find time to finish this one.
I haven't started the map yet, but here is the backstory and some of the clues.
The Jester's Tomb
Dunham had been the king's jester for so many years that they became friends. The king eventually realized that to be truly funny required a brilliant mind and he started to consider Dunham to be his best advisor. Over many years the Jester became the Advisor, and when the king became ill, Dunham became his Steward. When the king died, the Jester ruled the kingdom as Steward for several years until the king's grandson reached maturity and could take his place as rightful ruler. Several years later, Dunham died in his sleep and was laid to rest in a crypt he had designed himself. He knew that his tomb would be desecrated as he was quite rich. Always the jester at heart, he built many tricks and puzzles to protect his final resting place, and his treasure.
1: Entry Hall. As you pass through a hallway into the tomb, you can see that the walls are covered in brilliant paintings. All are depictions of The Jester Steward in momentous events.
Dunham as a teenager putting on a jester's costume. Under the painting is etched: To find the safe path beneath your feet, Near icy landmark start to seek, Meander thence from cold to hot, Travelling always on the diagonal.
Dunham, slightly older, performing for a large crowd in a village square. The pictures shows him holding up a silver coin in his left hand as if he is going to make it disappear. In the background are two mountains painted gold.
The Jester performing for the king in the royal court. A tapestry on the wall behind the jester in the painting clearly says "Nine lives he has, not three".
Dunham performing for a group of nobles. This painting has 3 panels. In the first panel he is juggling 5 identical bottles, in the second he juggles 3 of the bottles, and in the final panel he holds but one bottle and is pouring the water from it onto the padlock of a locked door. On the top is carved "All for one, and One for all we can get away with."
A painting of the jester walking a tightrope over a pit of fire while juggling 3 daggers. The crowd is painted with such detail that individual faces can be identified. Everyone is clapping except one woman. The painting is labeled, "My greatest performance". Etched into the bottom of the frame is: "Ignore the door, jump into the pit"
A tapestry showing Dunham wearing his jester's costume but standing behind the king while he sits on his throne. In front of them is a group of foreign diplomats bowing. Woven into the tapestry are the words "The King is a little to vain."
Another tapestry shows the King and Dunham riding horses on a stag hunt. The King's horse is large and magnificent, the jester's horse is nice but smaller. There is a brilliant rainbow arched over the group. The rainbow touches down on a large oak tree in the distance. A small sign under the tapestry reads: "For this challenge there is naught to do, but take each step and follow through. The path you take brooks no retreat, Until the open portal do you meet."
This painting shows Dunham surrounded by his family in a classic pose. Careful examination reveals the letters, G K N T and Z mixed into objects in the painting.
There's a painting of Dunham once again standing behind the King on his throne, but now Dunham is in regal court attire and he is whispering in the King's ear. Carved into all 4 sides of the frame are the words: " Go up, Go right, go down, go left, more easily said than done, the real problem is can you all finish as one?
A large tapestry depicting the King's funeral followed by Dunham's coronation as Steward of the Kingdom. In his left hand he holds a ceremonial staff, in the other an unusual key. Beside him stands a teenage youth who looks a lot like the dead King. Carved into the frame is: "The First is Five, The Last is Three, but only a Pure One opens Me."
In this painting Dunham is seated at the head of a banquet table wearing the Crown of the Steward. On a banner behind him are the words, "The more there is of it, the less you see"
The last painting shows Denham placing the true crown on the head of a young man. Careful examination will show that this is the teen from a prior picture probably 4 or 5 years later. On a banner in the painting it says: "If you have to choose between good and evil always try to choose good, but if you have to choose between what is right and what is funny, I usually choose funny"

The More, The MerrierWritten on August 12, 2002 You can never have enough gauges!
When rebuilding your classic truck the subject of the dash always comes into play. This month we will take a look at an enhanced dash pad that provides a mounting point for three gauges and an upgraded radio speaker. The '67-72 Chevy/GMC truck offered an instrument package in the early days that were very good but now you can make it better.
In restoring the dashboard in our Super Sub, a '72 Suburban, we have installed a new full-cover, padded-dash pad as part of the project but we thought there must be more we can do. (In a later issue we will show you how we upgraded the stock instrument panel, which included the addition of a tachometer.) So, we combined a clock and two gauges plus a wiring kit from Auto Meter Products, a Custom Autosound speaker, and a full-cover, padded-dash pad from Just Dashes.That's right, combining gauges and a dash pad. You are probably looking at your truck right now and saying how do you get gauges to adapt to a stock dash pad? Well, we didn't and we don't expect you too either. Just Dashes has introduced a new full-cover dash pad. Instead of using the stock or a replacement dash pad that only covers the wrap around area of the dash we opted for the new full-cover padded-pad from Just Dashes.
As with any dash pad, the old one must be removed. This can be a painstaking project, as you must remove dash appointments such as the radio and its speaker, air conditioning controls and vents, as well as the defroster vents. We also removed the instrument panel and glovebox, both easily accomplished. All this dismantling is necessary to get to the mounting studs and accompanying nuts on the stock pad.With the dash sheetmetal and mounting points exposed it's now time to prep the Just Dashes full-cover pad. The new pad not only covers the same area as the stock pad but also covers all the sheetmetal on the dash up to the base of the windshield and the full width. The new dash pad also has mounting studs but they used different holes than a stock pad.
The new pad will accept three 2 1/16-inch diameter gauges and has provisions for the two defroster vents and the center mounted OEM speaker. To fill out our new pad we went to Auto Meter and selected a clock, an engine temperature gauge, and a transmission temperature gauge to fill out the three center mounted and angled holes for gauges in the dash pad. We went for the these gauges since our truck came from the factory with the upgraded instrument package but none of these instruments were included.
We used the Auto Meter Traditional chrome gauges: a 250-degree transmission temperature; analog clock; and a 300-degree engine oil temperature gauge as well as senders. To this we also added a selection of 18-gauge electrical wiring from Auto Meter as well.
Since we did have the dash sheetmetal exposed we added the Custom Autosound Dual Voice Coil, 120-watt speaker which fits the OEM mounting point. The speaker is technologically advanced over its OEM predecessor as it has two channels and provided more cone area, affording cone base response. (We also added a Custom Autosound radio but more on that later.)
Follow along with the photos and we will show you some tips to making this installation less of a challenge and making sure your gauges are properly wired.

Our Auto Meter Traditional chrome instruments measure 2 1/16-inch in diameter. They are pre-wired for lighting but you must attach ground and hot leads.The two wires pictured with connectors crimped into position represent the hot and ground leads for the individual gauge lighting.Matching color wires were spliced together to provide the length required to reach each final destination. The solderless connectors are now crimped and ready for heat shrink tubing.An appropriate length of heat shrink tubing is used to cover the connector to provide a snug and secure connection and to prevent any potential for an electrical short.The lighting portion of each gauge is now wired via proper length of color coded wire, connector, and heat shrink all in position.
All three gauges require a hot lead, however, remember the clock must be continuous hot while the temp gauges are wired for hot only when the ignition is in use.Each gauge will have at least four wires that will make up its wire bundle. We opted to tie-wrap every couple of inches to provide a wire bundle that will stay together and not move about.The wire bundles pass through the gauge hole in the dash pad and then through openings in the sheetmetal of the dashboard itself. Note the mounting studs on the dash pad that hold the pad in place via spin on nuts.

Beta is a measure of volatility of a stock's returns. It compares how much the stock's returns move relative to the returns of a known market or index, such as the S&P 500.
Expanded Definition
Before discussing what the number means, let's look at how it is calculated. The movement of a stock's returns over time is compared to the movement of the returns of some comparable index. The average amount that the stock's return moves relative to the movement of the return of the index is the beta. By definition, when the two move in lockstep, the stock's beta is 1.0. For instance, the stock's return moves up 5% when the return of the index moves up 5% and down 3% when the return of the index moves down 3%.
Beta depends on two factors: the relative volatility of the stock's returns and the index's returns, and the correlation of stock's returns and the index's returns; the product of these two factors is the stock's beta. Thus, it may be that a stock with a beta of 1.0 has returns that are exactly as volatile as the index's returns and in perfect sync with the index's returns, but it is equally possible that a stock with a beta of 1.0 has returns that are 10 times as volatile as the index's returns, but out of sync with the index's returns (having a correlation of 0.1).
Stocks whose returns move by a lesser amount than the index's returns will have a beta lower than 1.0. Stocks whose returns move in larger steps on average than the index's returns, rising and falling rapidly, can have betas greater than 1.0; whether they will have betas greater than 1.0 depends on the correlation of returns between the stock and the index.
Beta values can be positive (which means the returns of the stock and index generally rise or fall together) or negative (which means the returns of the stock generally rise when the returns of the index fall, and vice versa). A beta of zero means that the correlation between the movement of the stock's returns and the index's returns is zero.
Limitations of beta
The actual value calculated depends heavily on several things:
- The length of time sampled. Three years will give a different result from five years.
- The frequency at which the prices are sampled. Once weekly will give a different result from once daily.
- When the prices are sampled. At close Monday will give a different result from at close Wednesday or at open Friday, for example.
- The choice of index. A small cap should probably be compared to a small-cap index, like the Russell 2000, instead of the S&P 500, which is a large cap index.
Because of these differences in how beta is calculated, different sites which report beta will very often report (sometimes drastically) different numbers. Be sure that you understand how beta is calculated for the site you use as your source. For best results use beta to compare one stock with others and make sure the beta values used for all the stocks are from the same source (to be sure the values are comparable).
Also, because companies change over time, beta will also change.
Beta as a proxy for risk
For many investors, the proxy for risk is price volatility. That is, if the price moves up or down a lot, it is often considered more risky than if the price does not move with as large jumps. But that view is flawed for a couple of reasons. First, even very large companies can see the price of their shares move a lot in a very short period of time. When GE or Berkshire Hathaway see their prices move by several percent, you can see that these relatively low-risk companies can still have volatile stock prices. Second, risk is the potential of losing your invested money. That comes about from investing in companies with poor management, lots of competition and poor products, and items such as that. It does not come about from the random fluctuations of the stock price.
Even if price volatility is a good proxy for risk, using beta as a measure is inappropriate: beta is calculated by comparing a stock's returns to the market's returns, not by comparing a stock's prices to the market's prices. As surprising as it may seem, comparing prices gives a very different result than comparing returns. In short, if price volatility is your definition of risk, beta won't help you assess it.

France Travel guide
France : Michelin's recommendations
In France, people often say, everything ends up as a song. In the 1950s, while Edith Piaf was warbling about the skies of Paris, Charles Trenet was merrily singing the praises of the Nationale 7, that picturesque road so many French people took as they headed « down to the Mediterranean coast ».
These two legendary places, the city of lights and the Côte d'Azur, have attracted millions of visitors every year, making la Douce France the world's top tourist destination. But let's not forget about the diversity of this land anchored on the European continent and stretching out towards the Atlantic Ocean. « I think there is no other country in the world with so many contradictions as France » said Voltaire.
Indeed, what do the steep roofs in the North have in common with the terraced roofs of the South? And how does the windswept, legendary land of Brittany, so close to its Anglo-Saxon friends, compare with the colourful Basque Country reaching down towards Spain?
While visiting France you'll learn about its one ocean, three seas and the eight countries and neighbouring principalities that have shaped its way of thinking without ever really jeopardizing its legendary « French chauvinism ». Whatever your destination, a host of delicious gastronomic treats await you in the country's different regions, including many wines and cheeses. Another great reason to explore France from top to bottom!

Greensboro, NC -- Oak Hollow Mall is losing a major tenant.
Belk is going to be moving its High Point department store to the Palladium shopping center.
Belk's store manager, Jason Scott, tells WFMY News 2 the store will shut down at the end of this year, after the holiday shopping season.
The new store is scheduled to open in late March of 2014. The new department store will be built near Olive Garden at the Palladium. Belk will invest $7.1 million in renovating the new location. Construction should begin in July.
Scott says the new location was chosen because of higher visibility, not because Oak Hollow Mall owner, High Point University, asked it to move.
The current store has 62 employees. The new store is expected to have about 80 employees.

Rex sparked the Red Storm (15-8/12-5 PWC) to a come from behind victory in the third game to give DSU the crucial PWC victory. With the victory DSU tied the record for the most wins in a season in the D2 era.
Having won the first two games of the match with identical scores at 25-16, the Red Storm started sluggish in the third game. The Vulcans (11-11/5-11 PWC) jumped to an early 8-4 lead and eventually a 19-12 lead.
DSU responded with a run of their own, rattling off seven straight points to tie the match at 19 all. Two quick Vulcan points froze the Red Storm and forced a timeout from head coach Robyn Felder trailing 22-20. DSU rebounded when Makenzi Bird (Saint George, UT/Snow Canyon ) who had 10 kills, no errors and hit .714 for the match, found the floor on assist from Shelby Sorenson (Lehi, UT/Lehi) to cut the UHH lead at 22-21.
The Vulcans just would not back down as they battled back with two more points to force game point at 24-22. DSU went to their bread and butter when Sorenson found Shannon Young (Whittier, CA/St Paul) on the outside for two straight points. Young hit both balls off the top of the blockers and out of bounds to keep the Red Storm hopes alive.
With the game tied at 24-24, a kill by UHH forced game point again but DSU followed with two more Young kills and a Rex kill to dispose of the Vulcans.
"We continue to play good volleyball and will work to finish the season strong, said Felder. "We just have to continue focus on the small things."
Joining Rex in double digit kills was Young at 10, Nicole Koehler (Sandy, UT/Alta) with 11 and Bird. Sorenson finished the match with 47 assists and Anderson led in digs with 18. DSU hit .297 as team for the match and added five service aces.
Callie Aberle led the Vulcans with 14 kills and 14 digs.
The Red Storm have won two straight and will try and make it three in a row when they battle Hawaii Pacific on Saturday at 12 p.m. in Student Activities Center.

Tips for a Memorable Experience at The Great Reno Balloon Race
The Great Reno Balloon Race is a beloved event, which has decorated the Reno sky for 28 years. The early hours are all worth it once 100 balloons ascend into the early morning sky for a spectacular show of bright colors and fun shapes.
To make this year's event an easy and worry free experience, follow some of these simple tips provided by the event organizers:
Stay in your pajamas on Saturday, Sept. 12 for The World's Largest Pajama Party, sponsored by momslikeme.com and Farmers Insurance! Hang out in the pajama party tent and get your photo taken by the Pajamarazzi. Come in your best (or worst) bed-head to enter in the Bed-Head competition. Register at www.renoballoon.com.
- September mornings tend to be a little chilly and the weather can be unpredictable, so be sure to dress in layers.
- Please leave your pets at home. Large of crowds of people, strange surroundings and weird noises may scare them and make them act out of character.
- Smoking is prohibited on the launch field. Dry grass, propane and sparks do not mix.
- Bring a camera with you so you can capture every moment of this incredible event.
- Admission is free, but make sure you bring money for tethered rides, souvenirs or food and drink from a variety of vendors.
- Parking is limited at the event so make sure to arrive early. You can also use RTC RIDE, which will have both pick-up and drop-off at three different locations: CITICENTER in Downtown Reno, Reed High School and Meadowood Mall. Also, many local hotel sponsors provide transportation, so be sure to ask when you check in.

Roast Pairing #5: Sumatra North vs. North Sumatra
The district of North Sumatra is actually SOUTH of Aceh Province. Does that make sense? Both Lintongs from the North Sumatra area around Lake Toba and Aceh coffees from the much smaller Lake Tawar have been sold as Mandhelings in the past. And the Mandheling area doesn't even have coffee! But the flavors of these two are quite different; Lintongs have herbal notes and have been much brighter as of late, while Aceh coffees have classic body and flavors, but are perhaps less complex and more of a "blender." How do two great lots from these areas rate side-by-side? We compare our Sumatra Grade One Mandheling and one of our great Sumatra Lintong Blue Batak coffees this week. Both coffees were roasted to the same final temp: 435 degrees by thermoprobe on the Probat, with roast times around 15 minutes. I was trying to roast a bit lighter than even the review recommends for these coffees to ensure we highlight the distinct differences in these two lots. And after cupping the results I am impressed with the herbal and almost sweet quality of the Blue Batak contrasted with the spicey and more bass-note Grade One Mandheling. You may notice how much lighter the Grade One Mandheling looks compared to the Blue Batak, part of this is due to the overall uneven roast color of the Mandheling and part is due to the fact that when I applied the same roast profile to both coffees, the Blue Batak ended up more in the Full City range instead of the target City+ roast. This just proves that roasting is not an exact science and the information from thermoprobes is only one indicator a roaster should use and not an absolute guage. The coffee pairing program has really put me to the test and we encourage all of you to grab a pair of coffees and try your hand at matching roast levels and comparting the results. The fun thing about this pair of coffees is that, on the one hand the Grade One Mandheling couldn't look more motley in the green stage, while the Blue Batak could win a beauty contest it has been so carefully processed and sorted. No matter, once roasted, they both are stalwart examples of Sumatran coffee. -Josh

"You will be signed out in 5 minutes. Save your changes now and sign in again."
However, it doesn't actually sign me out so it isn't a severe problem but it would be nice to eliminate it. I have tried things like clearing the browser cache and invalidating all the sessions for my user in the administrator console. Also the server has been rebooted after the install of zimbra 8. Since this issue doesn't seem to be common in the forums I'm assuming it's something minor, but I would really appreciate any help resolving it since I can't seem to fix the problem.

I don't know much about Fading Suns but...nice deckplans! I'd rep you but guess I already did for your planets.
Thanks again mearrin69, here's the official blurb for Fading Suns
It is the dawn of the sixth millennium and the skies are darkening, for the suns themselves are fading. Humans reached the stars long ago, building a Republic of high technology and universal emancipation—and then squandered it, fought over it, and finally lost it.
A New Dark Age has descended upon humanity, for the greatest of civilizations has fallen and now even the stars are dying. Feudal lords rule the Known Worlds, vying for power with fanatic priests and scheming guilds.
Fading Suns is a saga of humanity's fate among the stars—a science fiction game of heavy combat, vicious politics, weird occultism, alien secrets and artifacts, and unknown and un-mapped worlds
Cool. Sounds a little Dune-ish. I may have to check it out sometime...though my backlog of unplayed systems and settings (including Dune!) continues to grow as the years pass. Guess I need to schedule more gaming time!
Well here's a link to the free quickstart pdf which gives more detail
Wasn't there a couple of computer games for this setting - probably came out 7+ years ago? I remember playing some kind of Faded/Fading Suns games with my old roommate.

yes there were two, I think the most remembered is "Emperor of the Fading Suns".
There are still mods made for the game even today.
Nice Design on this ship.
I agree. Nice design. What software did you use for this?
It's different from most spaceships I've seen, but I like it.
