Unemployment in North Carolina dropped in August, staying below 11% for the second month in a row.
The Employment Security Commission says 10.8% of the state's workers were off the job in August, compared to 10.9% the previous month. A year ago the unemployment rate stood at 6.6%.
Of the major industries, government had the largest over-the-month gain in jobs, while trade, transportation and utilities had the largest decrease in the number of jobs.
Economists from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on down have said the economy has probably already turned around, but unemployment is likely to worsen for months to come.
North Carolina job-seekers will get a measure of the data that means the most to them on Friday, when the Employment Security Commission announces the statewide unemployment rate for August.
Unemployment in North Carolina has been above the previous historic high for six straight months as of July and hovered around 11 percent since May. A prominent economic forecaster said this week the state's employment picture won't improve until next year.
UNC Charlotte economics professor John Connaughton predicts unemployment will reach 11.2 percent by year's end.

I love the dress but I should have got size M instead of S. A little tight around the hip area.

Delta Core
The composite Carbon Nanotubes design was taken as a basis by the laboratories of the Fraunhofer Technology Development Group, where the arrangement of the molecules was further enhanced. The main innovation of the Delta Core material is the delta-shaped arrangement of the individual molecules, which permits a more finely meshed network. The tube structure is retained; it is simply made more compact and solid. The Delta Core material can be processed very finely, and thanks to optimised racquet production processes, it can be used throughout the racquet frame.
Sensor Tour Handle System
Includes a two part racquet shaft and TechnoGel surrounded by EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). This is visible technology you can actually see through the butt cap of the racquet. Designed to dampen vibration without sacrificing touch, playtests seem to verify that the Sensor Handle System does contribute to a more comfortable and forgiving feel.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state is releasing new jobless numbers, and officials hope private-sector growth can continue to push the unemployment rate down.
The May figures to be released Wednesday morning are some of the most closely watched measures of the state's economic health. Washington's seasonally-adjusted jobless rate hasn't been at 9 percent or below in more than two years and has trended as high as 10 percent.
The Employment Security Commission reported last month that the state had a 9.1 percent unemployment rate in April. Officials say private-sector job growth has helped push down the jobless rate, but forecasters say the slow economic recovery remains fragile.

Eric Young on TNA departure
A post on Twitter where Eric Young talks about leaving TNA with Bobby Roode after being major parts of the company for more than a decade.
March 21, 2016
Roode and Young leave TNA
For more than a decade, Bobby Roode and Eric Young have played key parts in the rise of TNA. Unfortunately for the company, that is no longer the case. Both men have requested their release, and management has granted them their freedom. No official word yet on what Roode and Young are going to be doing from here on out. Of course, rumors about signing with WWE have already surfaced. Nothing has been confirmed at this point in time.

Bobby Roode drops KOTM belt
In case you missed Impact Wrestling this week, Bobby Roode dropped the King of the Mountain Championship to Eric Young. The reason for the title change is because TNA wanted to do a Beer Money reunion to spark some interest from their fans. Roode and James Storm are expected to challenge for the tag team championship. They are also expected to be the centerpiece of the tag team division for the time being.
January 13, 2016
Beer Money reuniting
There is a very good chance that Beer Money will be reunited on a permanent basis now that James Storm has returned to TNA. During the first episode of Impact Wrestling that aired on POP TV, the former world heavyweight champion came back and celebrated with Bobby Roode. Later on in the night, Roode dropped the King of the Mountain Championship to Eric Young, adding further fuel to the speculation.

Wrestlers at Nashville Predators game
NHL fans that attended the Nashville Predators game got to see a good amount of wrestling presence. For starters, they got to hear Eric Young sing the national anthem, which seems kind of odd because you can't really picture the TNA star as much of a singer. If you glanced into the audience, you would have gotten a glimpse of Lana and Rusev. For those that haven't heard, the real life WWE couple recently purchased a home there.

Skip to comments.Little Sisters of the Poor Case: The Administrations Position Goes from the Absurd to the Surreal
Posted on 01/06/2014 5:37:09 PM PST by rhema
[. . . ]
The government actually misrepresents the facts before the Supreme Court. It asserts that all the Little Sisters have to do is file a form saying they are non-profit organizations that hold themselves out as religious and have religious objections to providing coverage for contraceptive services.
That's untrue. The government deliberately added more language to the Little Sisters form. Because their plan is self-insured, in addition to stating their religious objection, the government requires their form to also specifically tell their insurance administrator that he has obligations to provide the abortifacient and contraceptive coverage himself.
The government added this language on purpose because it wanted to force self-insured entities to create a binding contractual duty for someone else to provide abortion pills through the religious groups own health plan when the religious group doesnt want to do that itself. Thus the governments compromise for self-insured groups is akin to telling them: Dont worry, you dont have to assassinate that guy, you just have to contract a hit man to do it.
At this point the administrations position went from the absurd to the surreal. The government now says that the Little Sisters must still submit their form. The form still requires the Sisters to explicitly tell someone else they have obligations to provide abortion pills and contraception. But the government says it overlooked the fact that the Little Sisters plan fits into a legal loophole where, if that third party abortion-pill guy doesnt follow his obligations, theres no penalty on him.
In other words, the Obama administration refuses to grant an injunction that would protect the Sisters from hiring someone else to do offensive things, and its refusal is based on the theory that the governments coerced speech probably wont work anyway. The government admits that its offensive coerced speech might not actually achieve the governments goals, but the Little Sisters must speak it anyway.
The Obama administration has fought all the way to the Supreme Court to force the Little Sisters to do something that the government insists is pointless. If its pointless, the federal government shouldnt be forcing people to do it against their will in the first place. But that lesson applies to all of Obamacare, and it seems that the administration just cant resist the temptation to coerce.
Deliberate deception before SCOTUS can result in some most interesting sanctions.
On this issue alone Obama should be removed from Office.
I am aware of the work the little Sisters do for humanity,for the past 70 years, Obama has done nothing
Deliberate deception before SCOTUS can result in some most interesting sanctions.
Who does the sanctions? I don't trust the court to do it.
Someone needs to tell Obama that this kind of cram down on the people, never ends well for the leader. He will live in shame here and in the next life, and his pogeny will be scorned.
ah but good old Johnny Boy won't let that happen. He will make sure that the nuns are slapped and slapped hard. How are all the Roberts fans liking him now??? (latest travesty is his response on suit about origin of bill)
The fact that the Little Sisters have to go through this Kafka nightmare while Muslims were instantly granted waivers is a thermonuclear strike on the idea of "equal protection", and the court should treat it as such.
My Great Aunt was a Little Sister of the Poor, a nursing teacher, nun. What a wonderful woman.
Good Luck Sisters!
from the Absurd to the Surreal — is pitching right to SOCTUS' wheelhouse.
Obama: You are perfectly free to hire someone else to pick up your trash, but we would hate to see something terrible happen to that lovely little family of yours.
We have a community of them in my home town. They do it for free and take nothing from the oldsters or the city.
These nuns take care of the old--the poorest and sickest who have NO ONE to care for them and have NO PLACE to go. ALL the money the Little Sisters get is from contributions.
I wondered about that and asked "who" the contributors were. I was told "people of the community." So I started asking said people.
The butcher in my neighborhood always gave some meat to the Sisters. He said that the Little Sisters came and begged (asked) and the butcher gave. I imagine that they are impossible to say NO to.
The stupidest politician in the history of the world would be someone who picks a major public fight with the Little Sisters of the Poor, and, unfortunately, we have him as our president.
It is Sebellius, I am sure. She is a fanatical pro-choice Catholic who is determined for bend the Church to her will.
Being a pathological liar is a job requirement in His Arrogance's administration .... did you expect anything less?
All he had to do was sign the form.
Picking on a bunch of nuns. Obama might as well kick Mother Theresa in the teeth.
The desire is not per se to see the Little Sisters of the Poor have to provide abortifacients, noting the loophole. They'll cover up the loophole after this prisoner thinks they've escaped. But the government does wish two things:
1) that other groups, following in the nuns' footsteps, will hear similar deception. They'll hear: "We want to be able to say, "We got this adjudicated at SCOTUS, and even the nuns had to accept this solution," and
2) they want this SCOTUS precedent, whereby all groups (and individuals) will able to be morally corrupted and/or conflicted, making them beholden to this administration, at their whim, never again to stand with integrity.
I saw a politico being interviewed on TV the other evening. He indicated how another high-ranking comrade had told him a lie, but it was understandable and he would've done the same thing, as a policy decision made right from the top indicated we would never admit 'such-and-such', which was the thing lied about.
This is out-right corruption in government! People must never be robbed of their honor to be made to tell lies or have to compromise their most fundamental integrity to function in our government! We'll just keep getting what the Leftists want to foist on us if we don't stand against such corruption!
Go, Little Sisters of the Poor!
he and many of his appointees hate Biblical people of faith: Christians (Catholic or Protestant, no matter) and Jews.....
any POLITICIAN would NEVER permit himself to even be associated with a lawsuit against the church, more or less against the Little Sisters of the Poor, for goodness' sakes!
it would be considered Political Suicide, and the height of stupidity.
but if you hate Christians ENOUGH, then you throw any and all political intelligence and caution to the winds...
and go after, try to stomp out those little nuns with the full force and weight of government
blind hatred is called that because it blinds the hater to anything logical or rational or decent...
think Satan.
The Bastard and his policies are the symptoms. The disease is the idiot Americans who stand by and allow this bastard and his acolytes to get away with this.
Hilary would have done that. Remember when Mother condemned abortion right to the faces of Bill and Hilary? They were quite unhappy.
This sinner is reaching for his checkbook. BTT.
Contempt of Court is usually an interesting issue in htat often the penalty can include jail for 364 days or until the Court considers the miscreant has purged him/her/its self of the contempt.
Barring a YasSuh, the Court may review the situation and apply another 364 days.
Repeat as necessary.
What was his response on suit about origin of bill?
... should 0bama and his treachery win out here, we can witness altruistic organizations like Little Sisters of the Poor to close up shop and go to a country worthy of their services.... how absolutely sad and yet, how incredibly egotistical and selfish of this immoral and unprincipled president to be so arrogant...
Obama despises the Catholic Church as much as he reveres Islam.
U.S. Cardinal-Designate: Obama Lied To My Face, Stabbed Me In The Back, Reneged On His Promise;
Pat Dollard
Feb 9, 2012
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan says President Barack Obama hasnt kept his promise, when it comes to the new White House policy on contraception.
Sources told CBS 2?s Marcia Kramer that Archbishop Dolan feels betrayed after his meeting with the president on the issue late last year.
A Catholic group in Alabama filed the first lawsuit against the Obama administrations new birth control regulations as the controversy got even more heated Thursday.
The president ducked questions about the contraception controversy that is bedeviling his administration. The reason may be the latest attack from Dolan, who, sources told CBS 2, feels he was stabbed in the back by the president after the two met to discuss the issue.
He was worried about being at odds with the Church, especially when it came to health care and education and charitable outreach, Dolan told Kramer.
Kramer: He made promises to you that he apparently hasnt kept?
Dolan: Well, yeah. Im honest in saying I feel a bit let down.
Sources close to Dolan told Kramer that the archbishop felt betrayed after a November meeting with President Obama to discuss the contraception issue. Sources said the president promised Dolan that he would get most of what he wanted.
Instead, the administration issued a directive forcing Catholic institutions like schools and hospitals to pay for things like birth control and the morning after pill for their employees. The nations 355,000 churches are exempt.
He assured me my administration wants to work closely with you, Dolan said.
But that experience has left Dolan leery of any compromises the Obama administration might come up with.
You would not be surprised that Im a little skeptical, Dolan said.
"Little Sisters of the Poor" That sounds like a terrorist organization to me.
My father lives at a Little Sisters home in Chicago. I'm there visiting and volunteering every week. I know the nun heads up begging and if you're a rich guy with a chain of grocery stores forget about it. You'll be asked by a soft spoken little nun to help with God's work and most are happy to give.
The Republicans halve to make this issue front and center. When the Little Sisters refuse to comply...what's Obama's end game? Asset seizures of nuns by the IRS? Throwing old people out on street? This is an astonishing over reach by Obama. He has no choice but to back down. There is no upside to beating on little nuns.
Until the Obama administration went in for the kill against the Catholic Church, the Church was perhaps the largest institutional supporter of Obamacare outside of the Federal government.
OBAMA BULLYING NUNS (Part 1)
Townhall.com ^ | JANUARY 7, 2014 | Chuck Norris
PolitiFact has crowned the promoter in chief's sound bite for Obamacare the "Lie of the Year" for 2013: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." And let me make a prediction that among his top 10 falsehood contenders for 2014 will be a reversal of what he emphatically stated back on Sept. 9, 2009: "Under our (health care reform) plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."
Indeed, just a few months later, he reiterated to ABC News: "I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill. And we're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions. And I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test — that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions."
"Sneaking in funding for abortions," this administration?
Of course, we didn't have to wait a year before we discovered that federal funds were in fact being funneled to provide for abortive services in Pennsylvania and New Mexico.
Then the House and Senate, in secret Sunday sessions, passed an omnibus bill and its provision that overturned the 1988 Dornan amendment, which prevented taxpayer dollars from funding abortions in Washington, D.C. (Tragically, that omnibus bill also appropriated $648.5 million for international family planning funding — an increase of $103 million over 2009 funding — and contained funding for Planned Parenthood and for the United Nations Population Fund, both of which have pro-abortion agendas.)
Of course, there have been many other underhanded pro-abortion moves by Barack Obama's administration since then, right down to the present. In fact, last week, LifeSiteNews.com ran a piece by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., explaining abortion's rapid growth and funding in and through Obamacare:
"Rollout of the Obamacare exchanges reveals that many health insurance plans will subsidize abortion-on-demand. For example, the preliminary data suggests that every insurance plan on the Connecticut health care exchanges will pay for abortion-on-demand. In the most recent example, we learned that 103 of the 112 insurance plans for Members of Congress and congressional staff include elective abortion coverage. Only nine plans offered exclude elective abortion."
(You can go to http://chrissmith.house.gov/uploadedfiles/2013_12-02_floor_flyer_on_member_hc_plans.pdf to view the flier about the nine plans.)
It is clear that there are numerous Obamacare plans that include elective abortion and that billions of taxpayer dollars will be handed out as credits to buy abortion-covering health insurance — a clear violation of the Hyde amendment's fundamental principle of restricting funds to abortion-subsidizing health insurance plans.
If Obamacare is to encompass the full measure of abortions, Obama knows that he and his cronies must first remove all the stops that prohibit federal funding for the termination of life in the womb. Legislatively, the Dornan amendment was their start. And they will continue to chip away at the Hyde amendment, which prohibits the same through the Labor and Health and Human Services departments — for example, with Medicaid.
Obama knows that if his pro-abortion agenda is to win the war on the womb, his administration must also oppose anti-abortion advocates, and chief among those warriors is the Roman Catholic Church. You know the White House isn't dumb enough to confront papal power overtly — yet that doesn't stop it from chipping away at the anti-abortion wall by putting nuns and Catholic contraception views and values in its cross hairs.
On New Year's Eve, just one day before Obamacare's mandate forced nonprofit companies and religion-affiliated institutions across the country to provide contraception and drugs that possibly induce abortions in their employee health care plans, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blocked the requirement for a care facility for the elderly, run by Catholic nuns who appealed to the high court for help.
As NPR explained, "churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth control requirement, but affiliated institutions that serve the general public are not. That includes charitable organizations, universities and hospitals."
In response to the nuns' appeal, the Department of Justice placed the Little Sisters of the Poor in an ethical dilemma in which group members must violate their faith or pay fines. The DOJ argued in legal papers filed last Friday that the nuns don't have a leg to stand on.
The Obama administration tried to explain that they don't have to offer contraception and abortion-inducing drugs, as long as they sign a government form that delegates the action to a third party. Without signing that "self-certification" form, the nuns would incur steep government fines.
But Mark Rienzi, who is senior counsel for The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, responded on behalf of the nuns to the DOJ's argument by retorting that government officials "are simply blind to the religious exercise at issue: the Little Sisters and other Applicants cannot execute the form because they cannot deputize a third party to sin on their behalf."
And where is President Obama — the so-called constitutional lawyer living in our White House — during the whole debate? Coming out to protect the Bill of Rights for the nuns as he has for a number of progressive minorities? No. He's hiding behind the curtains in the Oval Office, manipulating his minions to follow his pro-abortion biddings.
It is not known when Justice Sotomayor will rule on these ludicrous government actions and violations of the nuns' personal religious liberty and practice. But one thing we do know is that the Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now regarding the government's obliteration of our First Amendment religious rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
What an utter constitutional and leadership travesty it is that Obamacare's promoter in chief repeatedly is breaking this promise: "Under our (health care reform) plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."
Seeing as our president won't honor life in the womb, please write or call your representatives to let them know where you stand. Read and hand out my friend Randy Alcorn's book "Why Pro-Life?" (http://www.epm.org). And then ensure your local community of faith is honoring Sanctity of Human Life Sunday on Jan. 20. The day commemorates the Jan. 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision, which legalized abortion in our country. Since then, more than 55 million abortions have taken place in the U.S.
I will follow up next week on Sotomayor's next action and where this case goes.
he denied vert
he denied cert
Because of standing?
nope with no comment
and since the docs were suing because this 'tax' law originated in the SENATE instead of the House, Roberts had the opportunity to cleanse himself but refused
Who is that, Columbus? I can't identify the source URL; I'm on an iPhone.
"All he had to do was agree" with the king and he would have kept his head.
Could someone explain what the DoJ's response is here? It seems to me they are just saying, "Sign the form because we tell you to, not because it will actually do anything".
Which is crazy on its face (if true)! What kind of retort is that?! I get that the Little Sisters are saying they can't hire a third person to distribute abortifacients for them. But again, it seems the govt response to that argument is "Sign the paper because we tell you to, not that we even expect you to hire a third person"
Is that really their "argument" now? If so, what kind of sense does that make, in any world? How could any court, even one corrupted by Roberts, accept such an "argument"? It's meaningless! (If true)
Oh wow, thanks. I should have known that haha.
Yup. DOJ is saying sign the paper ASKING for an exemption What DOJ FAILS to say is that they will then deny it so the Little Sisters of the Poor will either have to shut down their mission OR pay for that which is sinful.
I believe this is part of the larger commie O scheme. They are attacking charitable hospitals and entities hitting them with taxes related to Ocare. They want to shut down ALL charitable efforts so that people will have to go to the government to get help. It is EVIL on its face
OH, ok so the DoJ is saying that the form isn't itself authorizing a third party to purchase and distribute abortifacients, so "therefore" it should be ok for the Sisters to sign it. But like you say, they have every intent of denying the "request", so the Sisters aren't really getting an exemption.
Sick, just sick. How can these people sleep at night? Talk about a seared conscience.
the commies always sleep well at night. they dream only of the day when they control everything
This whole administration appears to be anti Catholic/Christian.
But taking on the Little Sisters of the Poor, for Obama and his Minions has reached a new LOW.
God Help Us !!
Excellent picture, excellent comparison.

3 nights in a KOA in Forsyth, GA
Ocmulgee National Monument
High Falls State Park
A few hours driving around Downtown Atlanta, GA
Memorable Food:
Grits Cafe, TAJ Indian Restaurant, and Brewhouse Cafe Inc.
I really really love to travel. I also have two dogs. Normally those don't mesh well together. I don't have many options besides boarding, and that gets expensive. Plus the boarding is a the vets office. For dogs that hate the vet, it is a nightmare. I have left them with family, but Blackjack got nervous and pulled a lot of his fur out... That butt head. He is a companion dog, and he knows it!
Since Blackjack and Bowman are both about 5 pounds, they travel well in dog backpacks. I got the backpacks here.
|I get to go? WHAAAT?
|Babies in the bed!
|View from the porch.
We rented the KOA 1 room cabin w/o a bathroom for three days at $35 dollars a night. Luckily the bathroom was only about 10 feet from our cabin. We brought our own sheets, and I slept in a sleeping bag on top of the bed. The cabin was clean, and we all liked it. I am sure the puppies were hoping it was our new house. They would LOVE to live in such close quarters! One dog slept in my sleeping bag with me. They seemed to switch several times a night. The cabin was warm and clean. Much better than freezing my toes off in a tent! The only downside is that it is right off the interstate, as KOAs normally are, and it was loud. I sleep with earplugs already, so I slept fine. If you are a light sleeper, don't go without earplugs. The staff was nice, and they made coffee for the guests in the morning. All in all, I enjoyed the lodging and would stay again.
|Dirty clothes are the best!
|He loves the bed!
We didn't know a ton about Macon and Forsyth Georgia before we got there, but most cities have attractions that appeal to me. These cities did not disappoint! We spent the first day at Ocmulgee National Monument, and it was nothing short of amazing. It is the grounds of an old Indian tribe, and they built several mounds that were really quite beautiful. There was one mound that we were allowed to go inside and one that we could climb on top of. The dogs were allowed everywhere but the visitor center, so we explored the whole outside of the park and went inside separately. The park is full of awesome trails, and that is where we spent most of our time. The indoor displays were elaborate and very informative, and the staff were very friendly and hilarious.
|No, I don't want to go in my dog bag!
|One of the mounds!
|Inside the mound!
|Bridge over a train track.
|He is still getting used to it!
|So many exciting things to look at!
|He got cold, so I had to carry him on some of the hiking trails.
|Beautiful terrain!
|View from the top of the mound.
|Blackjack trying to eat everything on top of the mound! It's sacred grass!
|I was trying to imagine what it was like for the people that lived here.
|Fancy feet!
|hahaha! I love this shot. I had no idea this was taken. I was still trying to picture what it was like for the Indians to live there.
|Making of a dog picture! Jason loves to get a good shot of this guy!
|He never gets tired!
|Bowman was sleepy!
It was a beautiful and well thought out park, and I was impressed! We all had a blast!
The next day we spent a few hours sightseeing in downtown Atlanta. I love Atlanta, and I had a blast. In the second half of the day, we went to High Falls State Park. It was the remains of an old hydroelectric plant, and it had beautiful trails and waterfalls!
|Some people traveled beyond the barriers... Scary!
|He lead the way!
|I could get used to this!
|Power pose!
|Family photo time!
|Maybe he is too close to the eating, but he was cold.
|Good coffee too!
|Best croutons ever!

Get App-y: New smart camera takes better photos, lets people share
If you want a camera that's better than your smart phone and more connected than your regular camera, then there's a new type of camera that attempts to accommodate both needs.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera and the Nikon Coolpix s800c, both released in the last few months, offer photographers a new type of camera to meet the demands of those who want to post high-resolution photos directly from their camera to online sites without using cords or uploading them to a computer.
Think of them as your mobile devices minus the phones, but with a higher quality camera.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera has 16 megapixels that can zoom in 21 times closer using an optical zoom, for starters. It takes high-definition videos and has access to mobile applications on the Google Play app store for Android phones. You can edit photos on the device and share them directly from the camera to social networks via your 3G/4G network (Verizon or AT&T) or WiFi. It starts at about $450 for the WiFi-only version, and goes up with the connected versions, which also come with data plans.
And if you want to take a break from working with the photos, you can use the camera's brightly lit touch screen to check your email or go to your favorite websites.
Verizon Wireless recently loaned me the Samsung camera for a couple of weeks and I took it everywhere with me that I needed a camera — on a fun trip to southeast Oklahoma, to a party and to the reenactment of the Oklahoma Land Run at my son's elementary school. A Verizon representative said the camera is especially popular with bloggers who want to shoot a photo and post.
Those familiar with these types of camera believe the concept is here to stay.
"I like the idea," said Eric Williams, general manager of Bedford, which carries the Nikon Coolpix s800c. While he said the Nikon camera doesn't do all that a DSLR would do, "this (category of cameras) allows you to have something that's decent quality and acts like a phone."
Working with Verizon's Samsung camera, I downloaded Instagram, Facebook Google Plus and Yahoo mail to the device and used it to read the news using the Google Chrome browser. If it were my own camera, I'd also download Words With Friends and maybe even another games to play. Angry Birds, anyone?
The camera was a hit among my colleagues in The Oklahoman's newsroom who tried it out as well — Tim Money took videos at child's baseball game, George Lang took it out on a news story about a new documentary and Clytie Bunyan used it for a celebration among graduates at a high school.
We all connected the photos taken on the Galaxy Camera to our own accounts in Dropbox (dropbox.com), an extremely useful cloud storage service that is available for multiple devices, including Android phones, iPhones, iPads and desktop computers. Almost as soon as we took the photos, the camera automatically uploaded them to Dropbox via Verizon's 4G LTE network.
"You really do get the best of both worlds," said Tom Nix, data sales consultant for Verizon in Oklahoma City, noting that you don't need extra accessories, memory cards or cords to use the camera. People have loved getting the quality photos as standard digital camera in a smart phone-like device, and at $5 a month to connect the camera to Verizon's network, it is also affordable, Nix added.
New York photographer John Barnett, creator of the Wood Camera — Vintage Photo Editor app for the iPhone, wasn't familiar with the Samsung camera but said he could see the concept of a camera like this becoming more popular: People introduced to photography through their smart phones want more from their camera but still want to be connected to social media.
"They want to share what they are doing the easiest way with the least resistance," said Barnett, who uses an iPhone for that. "I think this will be a big hit among people and probably a growing trend."
As with most devices, figure out what you want to do with your camera and your price range, and pick the best one for you. This is a good option if you like to share your photos online frequently and want a step up from a smart phone camera.
Here are some things to know about the Samsung Galaxy Camera:
It is really nice having a smart-phone-like device that is actually an excellent, higher-end camera. The camera takes better photos than most point-and-shoot cameras, including your smart phone.
It is nice having a good camera that can post directly to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, a blog, and any other site or service like email that you use to share photos.
While the camera comes with its own editing apps and filters, all of the ones you like that are designed for Android devices are also available.
If you have an iPhone, you can still use the camera on its own, especially since many apps and services are available on both Android and iOS devices, but Samsung has designed it to integrate with other Samsung devices.
While using the camera is extremely intuitive and you can be ready to go on automatic settings in just a few minutes, it is also complicated. I felt like I needed to set aside some time to really get to know all the workings of the device. There is a lot to it. You can even take it off automatic and adjust shutter and aperture speeds.
It has a flash that you can pop up and that you can set for automatic or manual use. I didn't quite figure out the manual part.
The camera's "Smart Mode" offers about 15 settings like "panorama," "sunset" and "fireworks" that can improve your photos. I wish I had read the manual before experimenting with them because it explained what they were and how to use them. Settings like "macro (take vivid photos of subject at close range)" and "action freeze (fast-moving subject)" were easy to understand, but I wish I knew to try out the "best photo" setting that lets you take a series of consecutive photos and choose the best shot or even "best face," which takes consecutive photos of subjects and lets you combine the best face in each one into a single photo. I don't know how that would have turned out, but if you've ever tried to take a photo of a group of children whom you wanted to smile AND look at the camera at the same time, that option is very appealing. The settings "light trace" letting you take photos of light trails and "waterfall" also were intriguing as well — but I didn't read about those until after I had turned in the camera.
While I loved the quality feel of the camera and using it, here are some minor annoyances that wouldn't keep me from considering buying one for myself:
Finding the right place to store your photos on the cloud long-term might be tricky. While it was easy to connect the camera with Dropbox, taking several hundred high-resolution shots filled up the rest of my available Dropbox memory quickly.
On a related note, I found myself concerned as I filled up storage space on the camera and in Dropbox that all of my photos didn't transfer across cyberspace to online accounts. All worked just fine, but I felt like I needed to double-check or keep syncing to make sure.
Switching from shooting video to camera mode took too many steps.
The sensors in the device automatically changed the white balance on the video in the middle of the video, so the color of an overcast sky turned from grey to purple during a baseball game without prompting. While it didn't change the video quality too much, if you're serious about videos, you might look more closely at whether it's possible to prevent that from happening.
In general, these types of cameras will run down your battery faster than a regular camera, especially if you're uploading a lot of photos over a network. Bedford Camera and Video's Eric Williams said. Also, he said, while they're better than many point and shoots, for the same amount of money, you could get a DSLR.

Engaging SophomoresMenu
Sophomore Success Experience
TAMIU was awarded the Title V: Engaging Sophomores federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education for a five year period from 2010 to 2015. The program was created to address sophomore needs on campus and alleviate common stressors known as the "sophomore slump". Recent national studies have concluded that sophomores, in general, tend to feel disconnected from the college experience during their second year in school. Therefore, our program generated a new approach towards sophomore success. Our approach is to provide a collaboration between student support services to encourage student engagement at all levels.
Sophomores can better utilize support services provided to them by Title V. Engaging Sophomores, better known as Sophomore Success, offered student support services such as advising and mentoring, personal and career advising, tutoring, and supplemental instruction. Each support area contained highly trained staff to provide services exclusively to sophomores.
Apart from student services, our sophomores were offered various service-learning courses every semester to create hands-on experiences in the Laredo region. The students enrolled in these courses have produced a positive and economic impact for the Laredo community. Our program also provided professional faculty development such as workshops, guest speakers, and webinars to enhance pedagogical practices at TAMIU.
TAMIU's Sophomore Success Program was a program dedicated to making your second year experience as rewarding and effective as your freshman year.
Our mission was to enhance the sophomore experience by providing academic support services, engaging sophomores through community service and building relations with faculty to enhance excellence in lifelong learning and student success.

Jordanian PM: Washington Must Help Restart Mideast Peacemaking
Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit told State Department's David Welch U.S. must create 'appropriate climate' for renewed talks.
AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's prime minister urged the United States to intensify efforts to restart peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians during talks Monday with a top U.S. official in the Jordanian capital.
Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit told the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, David Welch, "The Quartet - and the U.S. in particular - should help create the appropriate climate for the resumption of political negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis to reach a lasting and just peace in accordance with the road map," the official Petra news agency reported.
The long-stalled U.S.-backed road map peace plan calls for an end to Palestinian violence and Israeli settlement building and envisions the establishment of a Palestinian state.
On Sunday, Welch held talks in Jordan with envoys from the Mideast Quartet that brings together the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, on the fate of Western funding to the Palestinians after a Hamas-led government was sworn into office.
The U.S. and European Union have said they will halt millions of dollars in direct aid to the Palestinian Authority unless the radical group Hamas renounces violence, recognizes Israel and commits to the peace process.
The envoys from the four bodies that make up the Mideast Quartet met to discuss the next steps, but no official statement on the meeting results has been issued.

Hi -- I just upgraded our dev site to the latest version of Responsive, and it blew out my header tags. I built a child theme and stuck to strictly editing the style.css file in the child, but the upgrade still changes my h1-h5 tags. Compare these:
The new version: http://www.steglencoe.info/
The old version: http://www.steglencoe.org
You'll see that the upgraded version (.info) has very big headlines which also causes problems in some widget areas. I haven't yet found where in the CSS the tags changed, but I'm hoping you can tell me where the CSS tags changed so I could override them and get back to our original look.
If anyone else has had this problem and fixed it, I'd love to hear about how you did it. I'm flummoxed and frustrated and am eager to get this straightened out before I roll out the update to our live site.

The United Nations and
a Jewish Homeland
Among the war's victims, those who seemed to Eleanor Roosevelt to have the strongest claim on humanity's compassion and charity were the pitiful survivors of the death trains and gas chambers.
They had been a weight upon her heart for a long time. In 1943 word had filtered out of Fortress Europe that Hitler had given orders for the extermination of all Jews. She took part in a memorial service of protest and had written afterward: "One could not help having a great pride in the achievements of the Jewish people; they are the great names in so many nations, and yet rage and pity filled one's heart for they have suffered in this war in so many nations." Louis Bromfield, author and the head of the Emergency Conference to Save the Jews of Europe, wired her: "The Nazis are rapidly carrying out the threat to annihilate the Jewish people of Europe as reprisal against approaching doom...." Would she serve as a committee sponsor? "I have your telegram and cannot see what can be done until we win the war," she replied. And to another, she wrote:
[I do] not see beyond the statement which the President has made, what more emphatically could be said. I will be glad to say anything or help in any way but I do not think it wise for me to formally go on any committee. 1
Behind the scenes she did what she could to squeeze visas out of the balky State Department for the refugees who managed to get

Organized Retail Crime:
Private Sector and Law Enforcement Collaborate to Deter and Investigate Theft
GAO-11-675: Published: Jun 14, 2011. Publicly Released: Jun 14, 2011.

(202) 512-6510

(202) 512-4800
Each year organized groups of professional shoplifters steal or fraudulently obtain billions of dollars in merchandise to resell in an activity known as organized retail crime (ORC). These stolen goods can also be sold on online marketplaces, a practice known as "e-fencing." GAO was asked to assess ORC and e-fencing. This report addresses: (1) types of efforts that select retailers, state and local law enforcement, and federal agencies are undertaking to combat ORC; (2) the extent to which tools or mechanisms exist to facilitate collaboration and information sharing among these ORC stakeholders; and (3) steps that select online marketplaces have taken to combat ORC and e-fencing, and additional actions, if any, retailers and law enforcement think may enhance these efforts. GAO reviewed retail-industry documentation, such as reports and surveys, and academic studies related to ORC and efforts to combat it. GAO also interviewed representatives from four major retail associations and five individual retailers, selected for their knowledge of and efforts to combat ORC, as well as eight local law enforcement officials involved in the development of ORC information sharing networks, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. The results are not generalizable, but provided insights on activities related to ORC.
Retailers collaborate with law enforcement agencies to detect and deter retail theft and investigate potential ORC cases, and federal agencies are taking steps to better track their involvement. Stopping ORC begins with retailers, which have invested in new technologies and personnel to deter and investigate ORC. These investigations are often conducted in concert with local law enforcement, which generally must balance ORC investigative demands with other offenses--including violent crime. Federal agencies, including FBI and ICE, also work major ORC cases in conjunction with retailers and local law enforcement. These agencies do not have dedicated ORC resources, but both have implemented recent efforts to enhance tracking of ORC cases within their case management systems, including developing a program code to better track involvement in ORC cases. Such tracking is intended, in part, to improve data collection and reporting of case information and help inform management resource decisions. Emerging regional networks are facilitating information sharing among ORC stakeholders including retailers and law enforcement, but limitations were cited with the existing national database. Officials from all eight of the local law enforcement entities GAO interviewed have, with retail partners, established regional networks in recent years to facilitate information sharing among stakeholders and identify linkages between connected retail theft cases. A national database, which was created by the retail community with input provided by the FBI based on a legislative mandate, also exists to share ORC information. However, all five retailers GAO interviewed reported concerns related to the database's functionality, such as missing analytics to help retailers or law enforcement identify trends. In April 2011, the system was acquired by a company with experience managing large information-sharing databases in several major industries. According to the owner, when the new system becomes operational in the summer of 2011, it will include a series of enhancements intended to address the key concerns identified. It is too soon to tell to what extent retailers will expend resources to utilize an enhanced national ORC database. Leading online marketplaces have taken steps to combat ORC and e-fencing, but it is unclear if additional federal action would further deter this practice. eBay, the largest online marketplace, has recently taken steps to deter e-fencing, but varying business models and available resources may impact efforts of other online marketplaces. Efforts by eBay are designed to make it more responsive to requests for information from both retailers and law enforcement, both of which usually need seller information to link stolen merchandise to specific people. Retail and law enforcement stakeholders GAO interviewed identified two options--both imposing restrictions on sellers using online marketplaces--they felt could help combat ORC. However, these options would require legislative changes to implement, and it is unknown what deterrent effect the options may have on ORC and e-fencing. In commenting on a draft copy of this report, DOJ and DHS provided technical clarifications, which GAO incorporated where appropriate. GAO is not making any recommendations in this report.

Fight of the Week
Fight of the Week
Bernard Hopkins vs.
Tavoris Cloud
When: Saturday
Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, N.Y.
TV: HBO, 9:30 p.m. (delayed)
Outlook: One day, Bernard Hopkins will look and fight his age inside the ring. Hopkins, 48, lost his last fight to Chad Dawson, but one judge saw enough to score the fight even. Now, Hopkins is up against another young challenge, taking on IBF light-heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud. Cloud, 31, who is recently defended his title with a controversial split decision victory over Gabriel Campillo last year, has made four successful title defenses.
Prediction: Cloud, this is your moment. Cloud thinks Hopkins has slipped a bit over the years. Cloud must take advantage of this and be extremely busy in the ring. He can't let Hopkins dictate the momentum of the fight. The pick here is Cloud by unanimous decision.
