There is not good news for the unemployed in North Carolina, as the statewide rate climbed in May.
The figures out Friday show the unemployment rate at 11.1%. It's the first increase in three months, as in April and March stood at 10.8%.
The state says unemployment increased by 17,468 workers in May, to 508,834. Also the number of workers who were unemployed, but actively seeking work, is at an all-time high.
The state's jobless rate has soared from 7 percent in October.

We all know how great the 2011 draft was, picking up Aldon, and Kap, and Culliver and Kilgore. And we also know how bad the 2012 was, considering the only players in the roster still remaining from that draft are Lamichael and Looney. But I also think that draft was sacrificed for the 2013 draft. Trading out of picks and even the Cam Johnson pick were all sacrificial lambs for the better of the '13 draft class.
And I think the 2013 draft exemplifies Baalkee's imprint on this team, especially now with the Chris Harper addition.
I mean (I know its too early) but if you look at the class rookies that have come into the team in 2013... wow. First there's Eric Reid that is already starting and has all the potential to become a top safety in this league. Then, there's Tank Carradine, a first-round rush talent that will eventually replace the Cowboy. Third, there's Vance McDonald, that looks like a great blocking and catching tight end. Extremely fast for his size. Athletic. Still iffy with his hands but decent. Then there's Corey Lemoneir, who looks like a poor man's Aldon Smith. Long Arms, comes fast off the line of scrimmage. The thought of one day having the Tank in the middle, with Lemoneir and Smith at opposite ends should scare the f out of O-lines.
Now we have to add Chris Harper here. He can potentially become D. Walkers replacement. Play in a lot of three tight end formations with Vernon and Mcdonald. I know we've seen some three tight end formations before, but none with these type of athletic tight ends. I think they were hoping to do this with Marquise Grey, but I believe they are a lot more excited about Harper. Then, there's Quinton Patton, that's looked dynamic in the preseason. I mean, he is exciting and brings a spunk to this offense that I've never seen a rookie do in this team, especially in such a short time. In the same round, Baalke took Marcus Lattimore . And my god, if he looks anything similar to how he did in South Carolina, if he evades further knee injuries, then we have Frank Gore's replacement waiting in the wings.
Then Quinton Dial who's still a mystery, considering how little he played at Alabama.. and Nick Moody who looked solid. Nothing spectacular here. Just some decent looking football players.
And lastly BJ Daniels.. boy how fun was he to watch in the preseason. He looks like a faster Russell Wilson. He can be a great backup to Colin.
So looking back at this 2013 draft, I feel it's the best draft I've seen a 49er GM conduct …. Ever.. now I'm only 25 so I didn't watch the Walsh drafts, but if Baalke can conduct more drafts like the '13 and '11 drafts and less like the '12 draft, then I am ready excited about how well our rosters will look in the future.

Double dose of bad news for Brandon on town officeBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | October 29,2013BRANDON - More than two years after Tropical Storm Irene forced the relocation of the town offices to the fire station, residents were told Monday night that town government has been asked to vacate the temporary offices by the end of the year.
But there was a double dose of bad news when Select Board Chairman Devon Fuller announced that The McKernon Group had withdrawn its bid to reconstruct the town offices. The company had recalculated the cost and determined it was far above the insurance settlement of $160,000.

Vatican rejects closed Mass. churches' appeals
BOSTON The Vatican has rejected final appeals by 10 parishes closed by the Archdiocese of Boston in the wake of the clergy sex abuse scandal, leaving parishioners to consider fighting the closings in civilian courts, the leader of a parish advocacy group said Monday.
Peter Borre, co-chairman of the Council of Parishes, said a canon law expert for the groups told him Monday that the appeals were denied May 7 by the highest authority for parishioner appeals at the Vatican.
The archdiocese announced the closings of dozens of churches in 2004, citing falling attendance, a priest shortage and financial problems, but has denied the closings were a direct result of the clergy sex abuse scandal. The closings came a year after the archdiocese settled more than 500 claims for $85 million.
Three of the churches have had sit-ins going on round-the-clock for more than five years. Parishioners at two other churches, who did not appeal to the Vatican, have also held nonstop vigils.
The decision leaves parishioners with no other recourse within the church to fight to keep open the parishes, Borre said, adding he did not expect the parishioners to back down now. Borre said the group is considering filing a federal lawsuit.
"We expect the vigils to continue, so it's up to the archdiocese to decide whether to call in the cops," he said.
In a statement released Monday, the archdiocese said it had not received a formal decision from the Vatican on the appeals and would defer comment.
"The Archdiocese continues to seek a prayerful resolution to all of the vigils," the statement said.
The archdiocese also reiterated a pledge made by Cardinal Sean O'Malley that no money from the sale of any closed churches "has been used or will be used to fund settlement-related costs."
O'Malley has said that settlements with clergy sex abuse victims have been paid through the sale of other church property - primarily a portion of the archdiocese's Brighton property to Boston College - as well as insurance coverage.
"The Archdiocese has expended significant funds to fulfill its responsibility to survivors and to ensure that this tragedy never again occurs," the archdiocese said in its statement.
Since the sex abuse scandal broke in Boston, at least $2.5 billion has been paid in settlements, including a settlement of 26 claims for almost $18 million last week in Montpelier, Vt.
Boston-area parishioners said they are considering a federal lawsuit and may also fight the closings by challenging the archdiocese's right to relegate a church from a sacred use into a nonreligious use.
"We're not giving it up voluntarily, I can promise you that," said Jon Rogers, a parishioner at St. Frances X. Cabrini of Scituate who has spent countless nights at the church since October 2004.
"The vigiling churches are living proof that the parishioners will not stand for abuse, whether it be physical, whether it be spiritual, whether it be financial. We have drawn a line in the sand and said, 'It ends here,'" he said.
A total of 66 parishes were closed or consolidated, reducing the total number of parishes in the Boston archdiocese from 357 to 291.
Nationally, there's been an overall decline in the total number of parishes from a high of approximately 19,300 in 1995 to about 18,000 in 2009, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. Some parishes have been closed, others consolidated and some larger parishes have been formed out of merged parishes. Some new parishes have opened in the South and West.
Parishioners in Boston-area churches bitterly protested the closings, many arguing that their churches were spiritually vibrant and financially solvent.

Six dead in Mexico prosecutor's office plane crash
A small plane owned by the Mexican federal prosecutor's office crashed shortly after takeoff in northern Mexico on Tuesday, killing three agents and three crew members, the attorney general said.
The Beechcraft King Air 300 hit the ground 10 minutes after taking off in the state of Zacatecas at around noon, and the cause of the crash is under investigation, Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said in a statement.
Global Top 5 Business Jet Manufacturers - Strategic Factor Analysis Summary (SFAS) Framework Analysi...
The three officials had been sent to the state's capital, also called Zacatecas, on Monday to detain three suspected members of the Zetas drug cartel.
After the suspects were jailed, the three agents took a flight bound for Mexico City late Monday but their plane returned to the airport due to "mechanical failures," Murillo Karam said. They waited until the next day to take their fateful flight.
"The cause of the incident is unknown for now," Murillo Karam said, adding that the civil aviation department is leading the investigation with the support of his office.
The attorney general said he sent a senior prosecutor specialized in organized crime, the head of the investigative police and five experts to Zacatecas.

- Part 1: Roof Deck Construction
- Part 2: Interior Demolition for Warehouse Conversion
- Part 3: Brooklyn Warehouse Architectural History
- Bob meets with Bill Higgins, of Higgins and Quasebarth Restoration, to discuss the project building's history. Higgins utilizes archival information and on-site physical evidence to piece together a portrait of the building's history.
On the exterior, Higgins notes the presence of cast-iron lintels above the second- and third-floor windows, and points out the absence of those lintels above the windows on the fourth floor.
Between the third and fourth floor, the historian notices a change in the masonry quality and surmises that the fourth floor was an addition.
Inside, evidence of covered-up window openings in the original brickwork suggests the building predates the structures on its left and right.
Bob Vila heads to the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, for this project involving an abandoned warehouse built in the mid-19th century. Bob's adaptive reuse will yield three ultra-hip apartments with commercial space at street level. Project manager is Bob's oldest son, Chris Vila, who helps guide this complete rehabilitation of a beat-up building in the city that never sleeps.

An Indianapolis man was killed in a fiery head-on crash with a semitrailer rig after police said he was going the wrong way on Interstate 65 on Monday night.
Lee Wayne Oliphant, 67, died after his van struck a semitrailer rig on I-65. The accident happened at 10:33 p.m. at the 85-mile marker, about halfway between Franklin and Edinburgh.
Oliphant's van was traveling the wrong way in the southbound lane, struck a semitrailer rig head on, and burst into flames at 10:33 p.m., according to a news release from Indiana State Police. Both vehicles slid into the grassy median after the impact, Amity Fire Chief Jackie Brockman said.
Police do not know where Oliphant crossed into oncoming traffic or how long he had been traveling the wrong way, said Indiana State Police spokesman Sgt. Rich Myers. Police also did not know where Oliphant was coming from or heading to, Myers said.
Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox said he was not aware of any 911 calls coming to the sheriff's office before the accident to report a driver going the wrong way on the interstate. But those calls would typically go to Indiana State Police, Cox said.
State police are investigating the accident, according to a state police news release.
Oliphant was pronounced dead at the scene by the Johnson County Coroner's Office.
Johnson County Coroner Craig Lutz is investigating and said he did not know whether Oliphant was killed by the impact of the accident or in the fire.
An autopsy has not yet been performed and details might not be available until later this week, Lutz said.
The driver of the semi, Mark A. Thornberry, 59, Indianapolis, was transferred to Franciscan St. Francis Health-Indianapolis and treated for minor injuries, according to the new release.
Both drivers were tested for drugs and alcohol. The results of those tests are pending, Lutz said.
Blood tests are required by state law in any fatal accident, Myers said.
The accident closed all lanes of I-65 while police and fire departments worked at the scene. Northbound lanes reopened at 4 a.m. Tuesday, and southbound lanes reopened about 6 a.m. Traffic was diverted to U.S. 31 while the interstate was closed.
Multiple local police and fire departments were called to help. Hazardous material teams were called in to clean up fuel and other automotive fluids that spilled during the accident, Brockman said.

Re: Recommended Iteniary
1. Is the railway station located at seremban town itself?
2. Are there any hotels tha I can book for the night before we check in Legend the next day?
I'd recommend the Allson Klana Resort
3. What are the recommended tourist attractions that we can visit during that short period of time? (we would love to visit historical sites such as Sri Menanti)
There's really nothing much to see in Seremban. And I'm not sure how far is Sri Menanti from it/how'd you'd get there??
If I were you, I'd just have a good rest after that long train journey, esp with an 8month old baby! And enjoy the hotel facilities - it's got a lovely panoramic view down to the poolside and a good poolside, too! I'd stay there myself :-)

A new program in which experts would teach students computer science classes could be coming to Franklin Community High School, but first officials need to find $5,000.
Franklin applied and was approved to participate in the program, called TEALS, which connects schools with computer science professionals interested in spending two years teaching high school computer courses. The industry professionals also train teachers, Principal Doug Harter said.
The point of the program is to introduce high school students earlier to careers in computer science and information technology. That way students have a better chance to consider whether to pursue those career fields after high school or college, Harter said.
Harter still has to find a way to raise $5,000 to pay for stipends that will go to industry professionals who teach the courses.

This application is a continuation- in-part of my earlier patent application Ser. No. 07/703,273 filed May 20, 1991 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,152,750.
Due to the recent advent of the AIDS virus, which may be contracted by contaminated hypodermic syringes, there have been several retractable needle hypodermic syringes invented and patented. The retraction of the needle into the barrel of the syringe after use reduces the risk of "needle prick", or the accidental pricking of the person giving the injection after the syringe has been used.
Some of the recently patented retractable needle syringes include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,692,156 (Haller); 4,675,005 (DeLuccia); 4,747,830 (Gloyer, et al); and my own patents 4,790,822 and 4,950,251. All of the syringes disclosed include a hypodermic needle mounted on a carrier which is slidable in the barrel. The plunger is locked to this carrier after the injection has been given and is withdrawn up into the barrel by withdrawal of the plunger. The simplest mechanism for locking the plunger to the carrier is disclosed as a projection on the lower end of the plunger which engages through an opening in the upper end of the carrier. Thus, the engagement requires a simple extra push on the plunger. There is the possibility that the plunger might become accidently engaged before use rendering the syringe useless. The present inventor has thus seen a need for a simple device to prevent depression of the plunger prior to use.
The retractable needle hypodermic syringe of the present invention is designed to include the minimum number of parts and to utilize as much as possible from currently available syringe parts. The syringe comprises a hollow cylindrical barrel open at both ends with a finger flange at the upper end and an inwardly projecting lip at the lower end. A rigid needle carrier of hard plastic is seated within the barrel on the lip with a projection extending out of the barrel for attachment of a standard hypodermic needle or cannula (the words are used interchangeably herein). A seal is provided in the form of an O ring which is seated between the end of the needle carrier and the lip. A plunger is slidably mounted within the barrel which defines the fluid chamber. A shaft extends from the lower end of the plunger which terminates in a hub. The hub is adapted to fit and lock into an enlarged bore near the upper end of the carrier. The plunger seal conveniently fits around the shaft between the end of the plunger and the hub. The hub clicks and locks into the carrier after use, allowing the carrier and needle to be retracted into the barrel. Additionally, the hub may be broken off in the carrier blocking the fluid channel and preventing any further use of the syringe.
A removable safety cap is provided which fits over the exposed end of the plunger and engages an extension of the barrel above the finger flanges. The safety cap conveniently fits over the open end of the syringe after the carrier and needle have been withdrawn into the barrel. The safety cap is secured over the open end by snap friction fit between the cap and the barrel.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the retractable needle syringe of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing all of the parts of the retractable needle syringe of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the syringe of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view in partial cross section of the lower end of the assembled syringe of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of the lower end of the syringe showing the needle being withdrawn into the barrel.
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view in partial cross section of the upper end of the assembled syringe with the needle retracted and hub broken.
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the syringe of the present invention with the needle withdrawn into the barrel and the plunger broken off.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the syringe of the present invention with the needle withdrawn into the barrel and the safety cap placed over the open end.
FIG. 9 is a side elevational view in cross section showing one embodiment of the cap locked onto the open lower end of the barrel.
FIG. 10 is a side elevational view in cross section showing a second embodiment of the cap locked onto the open lower end of the barrel.
For a detailed description of the preferred embodiment the reader is directed to the accompanying figures in which like components are given like numerals for ease of reference.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 the simplicity of the present retractable needle hypodermic syringe is illustrated. The syringe generally indicated at 100 is shown to comprise a hollow cylindrical barrel 102 of a semi-rigid deformable plastic with standard finger flanges 126 on one. A rigid needle carrier 114 of hard plastic is inserted into the barrel 102 through the flanged end opening and is seated on a lip 140 (shown in FIGS. 4 an 5) such that the extension 142 protrudes out of the barrel 102. A cannula 108 is attached to extension 142 by leuer lock 110 which engages internal threads in sleeve 144. The cannula is provided with protective sheath 112 for protection before use. Plunger 104 with a shaft about which is secured a rubber seal 118 is inserted into the barrel 102 and the syringe is ready for use. Plunger 104 includes upper surface 122 which is slightly larger in diameter than the barrel 102. An O ring 116 is seated between the needle carrier 114 and lip 140. The entire syringe thus consists of only seven distinct parts. Only the carrier, plunger and O ring are different from standard syringes once the needle mounting extension has been removed from the lower end of the barrel to provide lip 11. The cap 106 fits over an extension 146 (See FIGS. 3, and 5-7) of the barrel which protrudes beyond the finger flanges 126.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4 details of the new parts are illustrated. The carrier 114 is shown seated on the lip 140 with extension 142 protruding out of the barrel. The outer diameter of the carrier is sized to provide a snug friction seal with the inner walls of the barrel 102. The O ring 116 is shown seated between the lip 140 and carrier 114. Additionally an internal ridge 132 within barrel 102 is located directly above the carrier 114 to aid in retaining the carrier in position while giving an injection. The leuer lock 110 of cannula 108 is secured to extension 142 by the engagement of flange 130 with internal threads in sleeve 144. A central bore 148 extends through the carrier 114 to provide fluid communication between the cannula 108 and barrel 102. Near the upper end of central bore 148 is an enlarged bore 136.
Plunger 104 is slidably mounted within barrel 102. Shaft 150 extends from the lower end of the plunger 104. At the lower end of shaft 150 is a hub 120 which is adapted to fit and lock into enlarged bore 136 in carrier 114.
Referring now to FIGS. 5-7 the cannula 108 is shown retracted into the barrel 102. The hub 120 is shown engaged within enlarged bore 136. Notches 124 are provided in plunger 104 above the shaft to allow the plunger to be broken off leaving the lower end of the plunger with the hub engaged with the carrier in the barrel.
Referring now to FIGS. 8 and 9 the new cap is illustrated. The cap 106 is shown to have a cylindrical indentation 210 in the end which protrudes down into the hollow portion of the cap. The indentation 210 creates an annular space 212 between the inner wall and the indentation which is substantially equal to the thickness of the barrel to provide a snug friction fit between the lower end of the barrel and the cap. This snug friction fit is considered to "lock" the cap around the lower end of the barrel and effectively seal the open end as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. To ensure a lock an internally protruding ridge 214 is provided around the circumference within the cap which snaps into a small groove 216 on the outside of the lower end of the barrel.
FIG. 10 illustrates a second embodiment of the locking mechanism of the cap which is a reversal of the first. The ridge 214A is external of the cylindrical indentation and the groove 216A is about the circumference of the lower end of the barrel.
In use the cap 106 is removed and the cannula 108 is inserted into the fluid to be injected and the fluid drawn into the chamber 102 by retraction of the plunger 104. Any air drawn in with the fluid may be removed in the usual manner--by inverting the syringe and thumping it until the bubble rises to the cannula end and depressing the plunger until fluid exits the cannula. The fluid may then be injected. As soon as the cannula is withdrawn from the recipient, the user may then further depress the plunger 104 until the hub 120 engages the carrier 114. After the hub 120 has engaged the carrier 114 the needle carrier with cannula 108 may then be retracted into the barrel 102. The plunger 104 may be broken off leaving shaft 150 and hub 120 blocking the internal passage to prevent any further use of the syringe. Finally, the cap 106 is placed over the now open end of the syringe barrel 102 to provide a neat closed package for disposal.
All of the materials of construction are conventional. For example, the barrel may be of transparent hard or soft plastic as is now commonly used in disposable syringes. The plunger and needle carrier are of hard plastic with the plunger seal and O ring being of standard rubber suitable for medical purposes.

This is a very nice and clean park. All sites are on the river or creek. Site 12 is the best except for the highway noise. Beautiful setting if you can get past the road noise. Sites 21, 22 & 23 are on the creek, back in sites and further away from the main highway. If it wasn't for the road noise, I would give this park a 10. - User3010

Small adult only RV park right on the Peace River. Sites were nice and shady and gravel covered. Owner was very friendly and helpful.
Park was close to Rt. 19/74 but road noise was not noticeable. Some site back right up to river.
TV cable was very good. Wifi a little slow.
Less than a mile to the new casino (Eastern band Cherokee Indians, Harras) that opened in Murphy if you are the gambling type. We are not but did stroll through.
We would camp here again. - Littleredsportscar

We spent the night here on our way back home form our 2015 Fall Colors trip. We had a creek side site but you could not get to the creek because of the steep bank. That was disappointing. The staff was friendly and helpful but being late October, the park amenities weren't open. There appeared to be a good number of long term campers as well as a fair amount of overnighters. This was our first ever stay at a KOA and to be honest, we don't see what warrants the higher price. - RV Outreach
Jul 2015 - $36.00
Outstanding campground. Friendly staff, clean and well maintained grounds and bath house. 1st visit and already made 2 more reservations.
Spacious sites. Could not have had a better experience. This will be our 'go to' campground and our friends as well. - John DiSimone
Oct 2014 - $36.00
This is a poor excuse for a KOA. The park itself is clean, but the sites are small and the sewer connection is way back off the site. It would have taken about a 25' hose, so we dumped at their dump site as we came in and as we left. The bathroom & shower house is clean, but freezing! There are screened openings at the top, so no way to close up and heat the bathroom. In the mountains, where it gets very cold, it's ridiculous to not have a heated shower house. They have a pet area, but it is too big (the dogs would be too far away to see where they do their business or stop them from escaping or fighting with other dogs) and the hog wire fencing has holes so big, a small dog could fit through it. We would not come back. - Capt.Deb

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Steve Mason craned his neck toward the ceiling in utter dismay. The puck that came sliding down the ice from beyond the red line somehow went between his legs and nestled in the net behind him.
Many of the Washington Capitals fans who didn't even see the puck go in started taunting him with chants of, "Ma-son, Ma-son."
There was nothing Mason could do but wonder after his "How did that happen?" blunder handed the Capitals a 4-1 win Saturday night in Game 2 and a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.
"Can say it over and over again, 'It's a bad goal,'" said Mason, his face flush after about as...

Census workers get ready for door-to-door count
NEW YORK It sounds simple enough. Knock on some doors, ask some questions, get some answers.
But for the more than 600,000 people going door-to-door to reach those who haven't mailed in their census forms, it's not.
As census enumerators set out check 48 million addresses on Saturday, they were likely to encounter a range of responses. People who never seem to be home. People who don't speak English. People who say they're too busy. People who swear they mailed in their responses. People who want to know what business is it of the government how many people live in their house, anyway. People who question what will happen to the information that gets collected.
Census workers around the country have spent most the last week getting trained in all the things they need to know to get the job done, from how to deal with people who are reluctant to answer to what to do at homes with guard dogs.
They've been taught the big things: All the information is kept confidential. (That means they can't talk about anything they've seen with anyone, either.) That it's important to answer because census information is needed for many things, such as Congressional representation and federal funding for programs. If someone says they're too busy at that moment, ask for a specific time to come back.
They've also been taught the smaller things: Wear comfortable shoes. Make sure your pencils are nice and sharp to fill out the forms (and yes, they have to be No. 2 pencils). If there's a dog, ask if the householder would mind moving the animal away. Don't ask to enter someone's home. Smile and be confident.
"We did a lot of practice role-playing all week," said Lesley Rubinger, 61, a Manhattanite who will be leading a crew of census workers in her first door-to-door count. "What to do if somebody gets hostile, or they refuse to answer your questions."
The Census Bureau tries to encourage as many people as possible to mail in their responses - this year's response rate was 72 percent, the same as in 2000. That's because door-to-door canvassing is the most expensive part of the count, as well as the most vulnerable to mistakes.
The more than 600,000 workers who will canvass residents around the country earn between $10 and $25 an hour, working until mid-July.
Enumerators have very specific rules about how they're supposed to work, to ensure consistency, said Tim Olson, assistant division chief in the Census Bureau's Field Division.
That means the same rules for everyone, from the number of contact attempts per address (up to six) to how to properly canvass a block (start at one place, then move clockwise.)
Olson said for the most part, census workers don't meet with extremely negative responses to their visits.
"What our enumerators will encounter, by and large, are households that simply have forgotten or misplaced their forms or just were too busy," he said.
"People want to part be of the census," he said.
Of course, there are some differences in what gets emphasized in training sessions around the country. At a New York City training, it didn't make sense to discuss the section on evaluating mobile homes and trailer parks in depth, Rubinger said.
"The manual is very much written for the whole country," she said. "So they talk about mobile homes and RVs and knocking on doors. Our big problem is doormen and brownstones, so it's a whole other little piece.
"That's what we've been emphasizing all week, what to do when someone says 'No, you can't come in this building.'"

The Creswelll Tigers moved to 7-1 on the season by blanking the former
conference powerhouse Jamesville Bullets 41-8 on the road Friday night. The Tigers have now firmly secured thier first conference title since 1983 when the Tigers made it to the eastern regional finals.
In a repeat from their first meeting of the season the Tigers rushing
attack would hit on all cylinders and amass 344 rushing yards on the
ground. Sophmore Timelle Sawyer would dig in behind the big offensive line of the Tigers and add 156yds on 12 carries. Sawyer would also add 2TD's on the night, both in the second half. Senior Ralphon Owens would pound out 85 yds on 5 carries for the Tigers and add 1 rushing TD on the night. The Tigers would go to the air on occasion to keep the Bullet defense guessing and open up the ground game. Quaterback Shivon Spear would light up the Bullet secondary and go 7-12 for 85 yds.
Defensively the Tigers would play a stellar game but the Bullets would
break the Tigers 3 game shutout streak by putting a TD on the board early in the first half. That score would be the only one for the Bullets as the Tigers would dig in and show who was on top of the Tideland. Tim Roughton would lead the Tigers with 11 tackles on the night with 2 going for a loss. Linebacker Andrew McNair would add 6 tackles for the Tigers and recover a fumble for a TD with :06 seconds to go before the half. That score would put the nail in the coffin for the Tigers and put the Tiger fans on their feet with a 22-8 lead at the half.
The Tigers will face the Columbia Wildcats in their final game of the
season next Friday at home on Senior night. With the win the Tigers will
go undefeated for the first time in the coference play in over 25 years.
Game time is slated for 7:30 pm.

North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr has blogged about his recent visit to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, recommending the United States focus on where to place detainees if the facility closes.
Burr praised the Cuban base's staff in a Monday evening blog post. He defended the guard force, and added how they had endured verbal and physical attacks from detainees.
Stating he was "immensely impressed" with the base, Burr said the U.S. must think "long and hard" about where to place detainees instead of focusing on closing the facility.
The visit was in response to President Barack Obama's executive order to close the facility within one year. Burr has expressed that he is not convinced it is in the country's best national security interest to move the prisoners to the U.S.

Race and judgements of foul play in football
Racism continues to cast its ugly shadow over football. As the European Football Championships kick-off today, the British government has advised fans of Asian or Afro-Caribbean descent to "take extra care" when in Ukraine, host nation with Poland.
Now a new study reported on our Research Digest looks at whether fans and referees are racist in their judgements of incidents during games.

Pros: 4 custom configuration quick select buttons that allow you to save settings for up to 4 sources (or one source, 4 different ways). Powered sub is just the right amount of bass. Front ports for quick hookup of a phone or aux device. Turn on volume setting. Power sub auto standby.
Cons: Big, but acceptable. Configuration is a tedious but rewarding process. Manual is limited (suggest downloading the full one at DENON website)
Other Thoughts: For gaming this has the right about of power in the right places. For most other setups this is a good intro level system.

A Greenback for the new generation.
Celestion announces the debut of its Heritage Series guitar speakers, a perfect recreation of the classic G12M and G12H speakers that helped forge the sound of the guitar greats during the 1960s "British Invasion." Adhering precisely to the initial design notes and specifications of the original speakers that were rediscovered during a recent Celestion factory move, the new Heritage Series is hand-built in England and pays strict attention to detail right down to the voice coil former material, glue formulations and edge-treatment. In addition, close consideration has been paid to matching the coil and magnetic flux specifications of the 1960s models, while particulars including solder-only tag panels and original "Thames Ditton" labels ensure the Heritage G12M and G12H look as authentic as they sound. Performance Features:
The original G12M became known as the "Greenback," for the green casing of its medium weight ceramic magnet. This new Heritage Series G12M pays faithful homage to its predecessor with a silky, smooth tone and distinctive "sports-car growl." The Greenback of the 1960s was also a highly articulate speaker, perfect for the pioneering lead guitarists of the time. Like any piece of technology, the basic Greenback's tonal characteristics evolved over time, moving away from those of the original model. But now, Celestion has recreated the classic 1960s G12M for a new generation of rock and blues guitarists, using exactly the same materials and construction techniques. The Heritage Series G12M is a 12-inch speaker with a pressed-steel chassis that features a 20-Watt power rating, 1.75-inch round copper voice coil, 8 or 15 Ohm nominal impedance, 96 dB sensitivity, and frequency response of 75-5000 Hz. In every tonal and sonic aspect, the Heritage Series G12M remains a painstakingly exact replica of the original.
Heritage G12M 20W, 12" Vintage Guitar Speaker Specifications:
- Basket Diameter: 12" 305mm Chassis Type: Pressed Steel:
Frequency Response: 75-5000Hz Sensitivity:96db
Impedance: 8 Ohm
Magnet: Ceramic: 35oz
Power: 20 Watts
Voice Coil: 1.75": Round Copper:

Hi, I am the super admin of the website http://www.inlinedj.com. One of the network site, http://www.inlinedj.com/djdeptrai, has a different theme than the main site.
Of course we have multiple users, and one of the user (djdeptrai) has the role "Administrator" on the site http://www.inlinedj.com/djdeptrai and is "Contributor" on the http://www.inlinedj.com. Of course, this user is not super admin (network).
The site http://www.inlinedj.com/djdeptrai is running the theme "magaling reloaded" and the user djdeptrai IS NOT able to see the Magaling Options (under Appearance) which allows to customize the theme (change the banners, the default category when posting, etc.
I don't understand why it's not possible for him to see those options...
I thought that the theme was a feature-by-site kind of thing. NO?
I would like to have a way to give the right to a specific user to administrate a website by it's own, or at least, administrate his theme. Is it possible?

Bella Vista Group
Seventeen women constitute part of the Bella Vista Association, which belongs to the main Los Andes Group. The Los Andes Group has worked in partnership with Pro-Mujer for the last eight years and it has always complied with the terms of the loans granted to it.
Almost all the children confirm that the financial support of their families is basically the responsibility of their mothers since, unfortunately, most of the women were abandoned by their husbands, forcing them to become heads of their households.
Handicraft is the main activity of the group and original garments woven in Alpaca wool are in great demand by their customers. In addition, members of the association also produce quilts, blankets, scarves, etc. They need more capital to buy raw materials for making more products and to enable them to export these products.
Translated from Spanish by MuseAndThinker, Kiva Volunteer
17 mujeres forman parte de la asociación Bella Vista que pertenece al centro focal Los Andes que trabaja junto a Pro-Mujer hace ocho años, demostrando siempre cumplimiento en cuanto a sus créditos.
Casi todas hijos afirman que la economia de sus hogares depende basicamente de ellas ya que lamentablemente a la mayor parte de ellas sus esposos las abandonaron teniendo que ser jefes de familia.
La artesanía es la actividad principal del grupo, originales prendas tejidas en lana de alpaca son la mayor atracción para sus compradores,, además también producen mantas, mantillas, chalinas y otros. Necesitan mayor capital para la compra de materia prima para, realizar mayores productos y poderlos distribuir al exterior.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Where I stayed
A Venice Museum
I also discovered in my research that this is a less crowded time of year to visit. I would hate to see Venice in the summer when it is crowded, because in early March the narrow passages and even the wider lanes are already full of people and it is difficult to walk anywhere at a normal pace. People are, understandably, constantly stopping to admire their surroundings and forgetting that there is an entire crowd of people blocked behind them. It's not so bad if you are also walking around with the sole purpose of taking in your surroundings, but if you are actually trying to get somewhere it can be frustrating
But to visit it was marvelous! The locals are suprisingly friendly to the tourists - surprising to me, anyway, simply because of my previous statement - and there is so much to see, all set in beautiful surroundings. I spent two full days on my feet, walking around, exploring the quieter nooks and crannies and the large, crowded squares. I only left the main island to take a little ferry around it.
The hostel I stayed at was a lot of fun and included breakfast and dinner. I was really lucky too because the staff were excellent cooks! For dinner we ate at a big buffet table so we could get to know everyone else. We ended up playing cards and talking late into the night on Saturday. I will leave it to the pictures to tell where I went and what I saw.

The Adobe CS Tool Palette Cheat Sheet
They say that an artist is only as good as his tools. As the premier graphic design platform, Adobe Creative Suite (CS) offers virtually limitless possibilities to create and manipulate content. From photography to letterhead, if you have the vision Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign give you the means to make it happen. The difference between fumbling around Adobe CS and getting the job done is knowing your tools, and the Tools Palette is where you should start. Like a painter's mixing palette, the Tools Palette contains necessities to mold your work. Also, like a painter, if you don't know what mixes well together, your palette can be more destructive than empowering. The following serves as a handy breakdown of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign's Tools Palettes. For more on how to put these tools to use, check out our courses for Adobe Creative Suite. Universal Tools While Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign serve different purposes, they share over a dozen common tools. These tools serve anything from basic needs to advanced functions, so if you have any questions about how to use these tools for your projects, please contact us. Brush Tool (PS, IL, ID) It is: A painting tool. What it does: Adds strokes of various color and size depending on your selections. If you don't like the color of your strokes, the Color Replacement Tool can rectify that. To create custom colors, the Mixer Brush Tool will combine color sources from anything you throw into the mix. Pencil Tool (PS, IL, ID) It is: A drawing tool. What it does: With the pencil in hand, you can draw shapes, using any degree of thickness. There are various other variables to play with, such as opacity. The Smooth functions like the pencil, but smoothing objects reduces sharpness, to give a blurred effect. If you want to completely blur something out, use the Erase Tool from this group. Line Segment Tool (PS, IL, ID) It is: A simple way to make simple objects. What it does: Creates a single line following a click-and-drag function. The Arc and Spiral Tools follow the same rules, but create different line styles. Text Tool (PS, ID, IL) It is: A tool that creates text boxes What it does: Adds a new layer to a document where you can type text. The Text Tool panel has font adjustment including font styles, sizes, letter-spacing adjustments, etc. Pen Tool (PS, ID, IL) It is: A tool including the Pen, Freeform Pen, Add Anchor Point, Delete Anchor Point and Convert Point tools. What it does: Creates paths and manipulates anchor points for paths. The Pen Tool creates a path by connecting two or more points. The Freeform Pen Tool allows you to freely draw in a document, and anchor points are created for you; these anchors can be moved once created. The Add and Delete anchor point tools are self explanatory, and the Convert Point tool changes points from flat or straight lines to rounded shapes or curves. What that means: Creating paths with the pen tools is a great way to make custom shapes and text paths, create selections from a path amongst many other functions. Direction Selection Tool (PS, ID, IL) It is: A tool including the Path Selection and Direct Selection Tools. What it does: The Path Selection Tool moves entire existing paths; the Direct Selection Tool moves individual anchor points and direction lines of a path.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A farmer and instructor for the Portland Meat Collective believes there was political motivation behind the theft of 23 rabbits.
Levi Cole says the rabbits were taken from his property in a burglary Saturday, the night before he instructed a class on raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits.
He told The Oregonian (http://is.gd/U14xjq ) he believes the burglary was politically charged.
Portland Meat Collective owner Camas Davis says it's the first time anything like this has happened to the group, but it gets an occasional comment on its website from people angry at its existence.
The rabbit class went on as scheduled with rabbits from a different location. Cole says the burglary was the main topic of dinner conversation.

Jessalyn Gilsig: When I came out to LA I didn't know that much about film and TV and part of why I really wanted to explore it, other than the obvious reasons, was that there's a way in film that you learn to be specific and simple. When I went back to do the stage, that was an amazing element to bring back. You really learn in film that less is more. You then learn how to be more economical in what you're doing on stage, so I find that the two have really communicated for me.
