SUNRAY - Thelma Catherine Eubank, 97, died Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in Sunray Church of Christ with Jim York, minister of Stinnett Church of Christ, officiating, and Shawn Davis, minister of Sunray Church of Christ, and Dennis Cady of Wichita Falls assisting. Burial will be in Lane Memorial Cemetery by Morrison Funeral Directors.
Mrs. Eubank was born April 17, 1909, in a dugout in Hansford County to Andrew G. and Laura C. Barnes Browder. She was married to Beebe Eubank from October 1923 to 1951. They farmed in Texas north of Sunray. In the 1930s they homesteaded 160 acres of land in New Mexico.
In 1951, Mrs. Eubank moved to Pontiac, Mich., where she attended business college. Upon the completion of her studies, she worked as a secretary for Motor Car Transport Co. for 10 years. Mrs. Eubank then decided to do mission work for the Church of Christ.
In 1962, Mrs. Eubank went to Southeast Asia for 14 years as a missionary, serving in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. When she returned to the states in 1976, she retired to Sunray. She was a member of Sunray Church of Christ, where she taught a ladies class for many years. She worked as a "Grandmother Volunteer" for Sunray Elementary School in the VIPS program (Volunteers in Public Schools), where Mrs. Eubank read stories to students, and in turn, they read stories to her. Mrs. Eubank also worked with Meals on Wheels until her health prohibited her from working.
"Her children rise up and call her blessed." (Proverbs 31:28a) Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.

For most of the first half of the 1980s, the classic lineup of Aerosmith was down two members, as guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford departed for other projects. Then in February 1984, the lineup was back together again, and ready to begin a new chapter of their careers, one that would bring them back to the popularity they achieved during the 1970s.
The separation first began in July 1979, when Perry left Aerosmith following an heated argument between him and frontman Steven Tyler. As he went on to form the Joe Perry Project, Aerosmith replaced him with Jimmy Crespo and continued on. But then in 1981, Whitford departed to form the duo Whitford/St. Holmes with musician Derek St. Holmes. Taking his place was Rick Dufay, but the change in the lineup didn't help Aerosmith's fortunes.
In that period, the band released two studio albums (1979's Night in the Ruts and 1982's Rock in a Hard Place) that were both poorly received, and one compilation in 1980 (which would be the best performing album during that period, with eleven million copies sold by 2007). At the same time, both Perry and Whitford were also struggling with their projects, and after attending an Aerosmith performance at Boston's Orpheum Theater, the two decided to reunite with the band.
The result would be a reunion tour, a new contract with Geffen Records, and a new studio album (1985's Done With Mirrors). And although the band was becoming a huge concert draw once again, it wasn't until Run-D.M.C.'s cover of "Walk this Way" (which featured Tyler and Perry), as well as the band kicking their drug habits, that the band would become the biggest throughout the late 1980s, and so on.

Who said garage sales can only be held on a hot summer's day? If you're in the middle of organizing your home, you might prefer to have a garage sale now instead of waiting for better weather. To get ready for a winter sale, consider the following tips.
Advertise, advertise, advertise: Since you'll likely be the only home with a garage sale in your neighborhood this winter, you'll need to ramp up advertising because people won't be expecting a sale for months to come. You can stick with traditional signs and fliers, but don't forget listing your sale on Craigslist and garage sale-focused websites.
Advertise, advertise, advertise - part two: You need to encourage people to get out of their warm homes and head to your sale, so make sure you talk up the items for sale. While you can't go into great detail on signs, you should use your other forms of advertising to describe some of the big-ticket items for sale. For instance, don't just say you're selling a TV; instead, include the dimensions and brand.
Stay warm: While leaving your large garage door open is a great way to show off your items for sale, it also means cold weather and snow will enter your garage. Instead, just prop open the side door and put up plenty of signs so people know where to enter the sale. As a reminder, keep the rest of your home locked up, especially if you have an attached garage.
Lighten up your sale: If you're having your sale in a garage that doesn't have a lot of light, then you'll need to bring in extra lighting fixtures from your home. Customers want to be able to see what they're buying, and you don't want anyone to fall.
Make it safe: No one wants to slip and fall on ice, so do your customers a favor and keep the sidewalk, driveway and any other entrance path clear of snow and ice. If people can park on your street, make sure there are open spots available for parking.
Roll out the welcome mat: With snow and ice on the ground, it's likely your shoppers will be bringing the elements indoors to your sale. Keep a mat near the entrance so customers can wipe their feet; you don't want puddles to freeze during your sale.
Plan for cold weather: This seems like a no-brainer, but do remember to dress in layers during your sale. Keep in mind that you will be in your garage for far longer than the actual sale hours due to setting up and taking down items for sale.
Know when to close: Keep an eye on the weather forecast for the day of your sale. You can always cancel or close early if it gets too cold for you.

Britney Spears wants to know: Can you handle her truth?
That's the question she asks on "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic," her upcoming reality show with hubby Kevin Federline, which premieres Tuesday (see "Britney Spears' Reality Show Is 'A Documentation Of Love' " ).
(Click for photos from the show. )
But that's not the only question raised. When you tune in, you're going to ask yourself, "Can Britney actually sing? How much makeup does that girl require? And does she ever live a moment that's not on camera?"
The answer to the last question is yes — when she's behind it.
"It was really interesting for me because I'm kind of directing everything," Spears said of the show, which consists of personal video footage shot by her and Federline. "It was cool for me to see me in that kind of light, instead of the focus being on me all the time."
Whether she's in front of or behind the lens, the focus nevertheless remains on Spears and her budding relationship with Federline, the dancer she married in September (see "Britney Spears Marries Kevin Federline" ). Much of the video revolves around the European leg of her Onyx Hotel Tour last spring, during which she was joined by Federline; the couple says the use of the camera actually contributed to their relationship.
"We kind of used the camera to get to know each other a little better," Federline said. "It was kind of like we [were] hiding behind the camera, asking these questions that we wouldn't normally ask."
Federline's no Warren Beatty to his girl's Madonna, instead encouraging her to shoot him and ask away. He did, however, help film and edit some of the footage with Spears in a hotel room in Amsterdam one night, telling Spears that this could be "our own little project."
The candid series, which addresses many lingering questions, is sure to appeal to fans. What's Britney's ideal guy? "Somebody that's cool and not really fazed by that much stuff and hasn't really seen that much, because I have, and I'd like to see through him all over again. [Someone who is] kind of sweet and nice and that loves me a lot. I don't care what they look like, I just want them to be … well, I do care a little bit what they look like."
Kevin also spends time in the spotlight. What does he think about marriage and commitment? "Love is love," he said.
"I didn't know him that well, and when I got the camera out, it made me feel better," Spears said. "It's really weird because it was like all this tension at first. We were so nervous being together. I'm really shy, and when I had the camera in my hand, it made me feel more outspoken. I think it helped at first." Turning to Federline, she said, "So you didn't get to see the real me at first, baby."
The premiere episode, "Can You Handle My Truth," shows Spears' excitement about the then-new man in her life as she documents their first romantic moments together. It premieres Tuesday at 9 p.m. on UPN.

County Ordinance Requiring Use of Local Public Entities Does Not Violate the Commerce Clause
In a ruling issued today, the U.S. Supreme Court found that county ordinances requiring that solid waste in two counties be processed at a publicly-owned transfer station did not discriminate against interstate commerce. The case, United Haulers Ass'n, Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, arose from two separate U.S. Court of Appeals Second Circuit decisions in which the Court ruled that:
1) the counties' ordinances requiring that solid waste in the two counties be processed at a publicly-owned transfer station did not discriminate against interstate commerce (United Haulers Ass'n, Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Auth., 261 F.3d 245 2d Cir. 2001); and
2) the counties' ordinances were valid under the Pike balancing test (United Haulers Ass'n, Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Auth., 438 F.3d 150 2d Cir. 2005).
Oneida and Herkimer County ordinances required that the garbage generated by local households and businesses within the counties be delivered to one of several waste processing facilities owned by the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, a public corporation, thereby preventing the garbage from being processed at non-local facilities. The Authority charged a per-ton tipping fee for receiving waste, a fee that was apparently significantly higher than the fees charged on the open market elsewhere in the state. However, the counties did not exclude private commercial entities from other aspects of the local market for waste disposal: the ordinances expressly allowed any licensed private entity, whether local or non-local, to collect solid wastes from area businesses and households for delivery to the Authority's processing facilities. Through an open bidding process, the Authority periodically selected a private hauler to transport processed wastes/recyclables from its facilities for delivery to other locations.
Several solid waste management companies and an association representing their interests brought a Section 1983 action against the counties and the Authority, claiming that the ordinances regulating the collection, processing, transfer, and disposal of all solid waste within the counties violated the Commerce Clause. They specifically stated that as long as private entities were permitted to collect garbage from customers, they could not be required to deliver that waste to an in-state facility.
On appeal, the Supreme Court affirmed the Second Circuit's decisions and upheld the ordinances noting that this case presented "flow control ordinances quite similar to the one invalidated in [C & A Carbone, Inc. v. Clarkstown, 511 U. S. 383 (1994)]. The difference being that the laws at issue here require haulers to bring waste to facilities owned and operated by a state-created public benefit corporation. Applying the Pike test, the Court first pointed out that, after years of discovery, no disparate impact on out-of-state, as opposed to in-state businesses, could be found regarding the ordinances.

What's in a name! It is a famous quotation from the play of an English playwright, William Shakespeare. A rose, without being named a rose will remain to smell fragrant. Well, perhaps with this analogy, then Bali is still quite worthy to bear the name 'Bali' though its Balinese quality has started to fade. Probably, it sounds slightly like a joke, but try to observe it with an open, obvious and objective mind.
Some repeated guests having come to Bali for a dozen of times surely have its own assessment on the contemporary condition of Bali. They attempt to compare the latest condition of Bali to the time when they first set foot on this island. Probably, they will compare the current condition of Bali to the Bali in the 1960s. Within such a long period of time, a number of changes have definitely happened to Sanur, Kuta, Ubud or other destinations where they have left beautiful impressions during their stay in Bali.
In the relatively long time, there must be a change. There is dynamics of society with its culture. Movement of physical development provides a color of change to the surrounding environment. However, from some notes on few talks at hand, the changes take place so fast and powerfully. There is something like 'a face lift' against Bali that can hardly be recognized anymore. What is it? By all means, it will highly depend on how the governance of Bali made by the government by involving all the existing components.
Bali has changed. Yes, it must do. Everything on earth should change in harmony with the passage of time. Nothing is eternal. Nothing lasts forever. However ..., has Bali been changing quite fast so that we find difficulty to identify the original face? It has happened to Kuta, Sanur, maybe to Ubud as well and other places. At villages it may still easily be recognized, how about in urban areas? We can no longer find the row of angkul-angkul or main entrance gates into house compound. Now, the row of shop-houses has replaced them adorned with the billboard of products, political parties, legislative candidates and community organizations.

Dolph Ziggler is the latest WWE Superstar to be interviewed by Marvel in their "Fightin' Fanboys" series. In the interview, Ziggler discusses his favorite superheroes, how he keeps his matches fresh, his Tag Team Championship match at this Sunday's Over The Limit PPV, and more.
In the following excerpt, Ziggler discusses the origins of the #HEEL catchphrase:
"Honestly before I was in the business, I was huge Chevy Chase fan because I am a comedy fan no matter what. One of my favorite movies of all time is 'Fletch' and in the movie, during one of those times you can tell he was ad-libbing, he's saying things under his breath like 'I'm such a heel' to this lady. I always thought that was a great line and that I'm going to use that. It turns out in the lingo of professional wrestling and sports entertainment that 'heel' also equates to being a bad guy, which I think do better than anyone else, so I thought it fit perfectly."
Ziggler went on to discuss how he connects so well with the fans, even as a heel:
"I think in this day and age you're not looking for beer-bellied guys with a black single strap that yell at a kid or something. Some people are cockier than others and a lot of people are just being themselves as their character. For the most part I get to be myself—day in and day out I try to show off in everything I do. I've loved being the bad guy since I was five years old, and in college I had calls changed and crowds rooting against me [as an amateur wrestler]. I love it and I live for it because I actually back it up, just like my t-shirt says. I love being the bad guy who actually backs it up in the ring. I love competition, I love outdoing everybody in the ring, but I love the fact that I can cheat when I want, do what I want and be cocky about it. The people give you respect for being great at your job and they also hate you for doing what you do."

What are the Negatives of a Roth IRA?
Original post by Mark Kennan of Demand Media
Roth individual retirement accounts (IRAs) have been around since 1997, offering the ability to save money on an after-tax basis. However, despite the promise of tax-free distributions, Roth IRAs do have their drawbacks. Knowing these drawbacks can help you determine whether a Roth IRA should be part of your investment strategy for saving for retirement .
No Deduction
The Roth IRA does not reward contributions with a tax deduction. Rather, the Roth IRA offers tax-free qualified distributions from the plan. This can benefit you if you expect to pay a higher tax rate at retirement. However, if you are in your peak earning years, you likely benefit more from a tax-deferred account, such as a traditional IRA, 401k or 403b, that allows you a tax deduction for your contributions.
Investment Options
When you put money into a Roth IRA, there are a few restrictions on how the money can be invested. First, the investment cannot benefit you personally. For example, you can't invest the money you put in your Roth IRA into a company you own, or into a house for you to live in. The IRS also prohibits investing in collectibles, so no matter how much a Honus Wagner baseball card will be worth in 20 years, you cannot use your Roth IRA to buy one.
Contribution Limits
A Roth IRA restricts retirement savings contributions much more drastically than employer plans, such as Roth 401k plans and Roth 403b plans. For example, as of 2011, the maximum contribution for a Roth IRA if you are under 50 is $5,000, compared to $16,500 for a 401k or 403b plan. If you are 50 or older, the limit for a Roth IRA increases to $6,000 compared to $22,000 for a 401k or 403b plan. In addition, an employer cannot match your contributions to a Roth IRA.
Account Age Requirement
With a traditional IRA, you only have to be 59 1/2 to take qualified distributions from your account. Roth IRAs not only have the account holder age requirement, but you also have to own it for at least five years before you can take qualified distributions. Tax years count from Jan. 1 of the first tax year you made a contribution to the Roth IRA. For example, if you first put money in your Roth IRA during the 2013 tax year, the tax year age of your account would be measured from Jan. 1, 2013 no matter when you made the contribution during the year.

Affordable Housing Initiative For Duke Employees
Durham, NC - Duke is partnering with the city of Durham and local agencies to redevelop the Southside neighborhood in Durham as part of a program that will provide home ownership to eligible Duke University and Duke University Health System employees.
Through the initiative, which will create up to 45 new homes in a largely abandoned area south of downtown Durham, a four-bedroom home with an $180,000 construction price will cost an employee about $115,000.
In an initial pilot phase this summer, Duke will select 10 eligible employees to receive loans to purchase the first set of homes. Eligible employees must have at least five years of service at Duke, earn $40,000 or less annually from Duke and have less than $66,000 in total income if part of a two-person household. The total income threshold increases $5,000 for each additional household member.
Additional information is expected within the next month, including instructions on how employees can apply for the loan program. Construction on the first 10 homes as part of the Southside redevelopment project is expected to begin late this year.
Phail Wynn Jr., Duke's vice president for Durham and regional affairs, said the initiative is an example of Duke's unique partnership with Durham and local agencies. A number of higher education institutions provide housing incentives for faculty and professional staff but none that he could find provide affordable housing incentives and subsidies for low-to middle-income employees, he said.
"This is a unique opportunity for Duke employees interested in home ownership to purchase new homes and help repopulate a historic neighborhood of Durham," Wynn said.
To make the new homes affordable, the city of Durham will use Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds to subsidize building costs. Duke will offer a $10,000 loan for a down payment, and the loan will be forgiven after five years of occupancy. In addition, the Self-Help Federal Credit Union will offer below-market mortgage interest rates for the homes.
As part of the program, Duke employees selected for the initiative must participate in Self-Help's "Fast Track to Homeownership program" to learn about budgeting and credit repair to help position them as financially secure homeowners. Duke will pay the $1,000 cost per household for the Fast Track program.
Once Self-Help approves the 10 pilot participants for loans, the city will begin to work with builders such as Durham Habitat for Humanity, Durham Community Land Trustees and other local developers to build the houses.
Wynn said that construction in the neighborhood south of downtown Durham will begin when guaranteed buyers are secured for the homes. He said he particularly likes the opportunity the initiative creates for an "affinity" neighborhood - a community of Duke employees within a community.
"There is a lot of potential because of its location near to the downtown area and Duke," Wynn said. "We hope that Duke employees will be instrumental in creating the critical mass needed to create a thriving neighborhood."

Tables wish list.
Greg Madden <gomadtroll <at> gci.net>
I have read the info on http://www.abisource.com/abi2_status.phtml. I realize that the feature freeze is a good thing but I wanted to comment on how I, as a user, view what is basic table support in response to the following comments. "AbiWord's table support is quite solid now,though a few minor/trivial bugs remain. There are some features about tables that AbiWord does not (yet) support, but they aren't that commonly used and all the really important stuff is here. The current table system is much more stable than it would be had we focused more on adding obscure features than fixing bugs." There are three items that, imho, make tables something more than a way to separate data with lines, and ,I don't think, are not obscure to users :) 1. Cell protection, the ability to lock cells. 2. Disable the cursor in protected cells.The cursor skips over protected cells. 3. SUM, add the contents of a column of selected cells. Hopefully I haven't missed these features in my reviews of Abiword. I like Abiword, the fast single purpose aspect, but Tables is how I organize and gather data for my business. These features significantly speed up the work flow. -- -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux(Continue reading)

Channel your "Saturday Night Fever" 1970s disco days leisure suit, because on Thursday's "Project Runway" on Lifetime that was the challenge. Sponsored by the show's Red Robin restaurants, the designers took a field trip out to a Red Robin. Here they had a classic burger of their choice and bottomless fries.
After lunch, the VP of Red Robin hinted their challenge would be a take on a classic. The designers, and most likely many viewers, may have been thinking "it's a hamburger challenge." To their surprise, men dressed in horrible polyester suits in hideous bright colors and prints came out with their trays of hamburgers.
Last week's challenge winner, Sandhya, got first choice on a leisure suit she has to construct out of into women's wear. Some designers were pleased with Sandhya's choice for them, while others were verbally not amused (Hernan).
In the workroom several designers were in their element with creating a high fashion look, while the villain of the week, Hernan, was constantly struggling and complaining. Kini completed his look in record time with a black pinstriped suit, and turning out a masterpiece. Amanda probably received the most hideous leisure suit of all. Her inspiration was to go bohemian. She added fringe that certainly transformed it, but wasn't exactly be high fashion.
On the runway it was fascinating to see what everybody came up with. The motorcycle jacket ensemble from Korina was stunning, though she didn't make the top three. Afterwards, the top three were Kini, Amanda, and Alexander. The bottom three was Hernan, Kristine, and Sean.
During the judging phase Hernan complained he had poor quality of fabric to work with. Tim Gunn's close-up with the six designs revealed Hernan's material from his leisure suit was strong and sturdy. In a surprise twist Amanda won her second challenge, though it should have been Kini's win. Not at all surprising was Hernan's exit from the competition.

Thailand situation update: Political developments but it's business as usual.
Tuesday, 3rd December 2013
Source : Tourism Authority of Thailand
The ongoing anti-government protests in Bangkok, which had been normal to peaceful for 32 days since 30 October 2013, has turned volatile as of yesterday but are contained within one location near Government House and the Parliament where riot police fired tear gas canisters and used water cannon to hold off protesters from entering important state offices.
Today, volatile situations remain in the areas surrounding Government House and the Parliament and the Metropolitan Police Bureau. All 14 roads leading to the two locations are closed to traffic, and tourists are advised to avoid these areas.
The situation at Ramkhamhaeng University, following clashes between university students and pro-government red-shirt supporters that lasted from Saturday (30 November 2013) evening until yesterday afternoon, has returned to normal as of this morning. Traffic on Ramkhamhaeng Road is now open to motorists as usual.
No tourists are hurt or affected by the volatile situations both at Ramkhamhaeng University and near Government House and the Parliament.
During today, the following locations are where the anti-government protests take places or where the protesters gather:
Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue
Ministry of Finance on Rama VI Road
Government Complex on Chaengwattana Road
ang Lerng Junction on Nakhonsawan-Phitsanulok Roads
Makkawan Bridge on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue
Two most sensitive areas that tourists should avoid today are the areas surrounding Government House and the Parliament and the Metropolitan Police Bureau.
Outside of Bangkok, the anti-government protesters are also rallying at several provincial administration halls.
For tourists visiting the kingdom, it should be stressed that foreigners and/or tourists have not been targeted in the ongoing political protests.
However, tourists are advised to be vigilant and avoid areas where crowds may gather. Given the large number of people attending rallies at the five main locations as well as the above mentioned two most sensitive locations, roads around or within the areas maybe temporarily closed to traffic. Heavy road traffic at certain times can also be expected in roads leading to the protest areas.
Tourists are advised to check travel route and road traffic situation to avoid getting caught in traffic or they can use other means of transportation to getting around in Bangkok, including BTS Skytrain, MRT Subway, Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Links Express and City Lines, and water-transport.
Its business as usual in Thailand
Albeit the volatile political situations in Bangkok, life in the Thai capital and all other areas of Thailand continues as per normal. Tourist attractions and activities as well as businesses in Bangkok and other provinces are open and operating as usual.
Siam Center, Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon and CentralWorld Shopping Complexes on Rama I Road as well as Major Cineplex on Ramkhamhaeng Road are open as per normal.
Tourist attractions are open and operating as per normal.
In Bangkok
Historical attractions, theme parks, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, local markets, temples and river tours are open and operating as per normal.
To avoid heavy road traffic at certain times, tourists can use BTS Skytrain, MRT Subway, ferry, boats and hotels converted rice barges to many attractions, such as, the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of Dawn, ASIATIQUE The Riverfront, and Siam Paragon, CentralWorld and Terminal 21 Shopping Complexes.
Outside of Bangkok
Tourist activities in Pattaya, Hua Hin, Ko Samui, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phang-nga and Krabi, for instance, are operating as per normal.
For live images of Thai tourist destinations, check out these THAI LIVE CAM streaming cameras that present a number of stunning preset views of Thailands most famous and popular cities.
These provinces administration halls are located in official designated areas, and are not where tourists normally go to or where tour companies include in the tour programme.
International and domestic airlines are operating flights between Bangkok and Thai cities, as well as destinations around the world, as per normal.
Thailands main gateway, Suvarnabhumi Airport, in Bangkok and all other international and domestic airports throughout the country are operating as per normal. Transportation to and from Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang International Airports into central Bangkok as well as into tourist destinations southeast and southwest of Bangkok; such as, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Ko Samet and Ko Chang are operating as per normal.
Suvarnabhumi Airport has advised air travellers of possible heavy road traffic and a lack of taxis resulting from the protests in Bangkok. Commuters are advised to use public transport such as BTS Skytrain, Airport Rail Link, public buses and vans, and limousine services. Air travellers are also advised to allocate more time before flight depart or at least three hours.
In addition, Suvarnabhumi Airport has opened a passenger centre at the CIP 5 room on the 3rd floor of the passenger terminal to provide assistance to passengers whose air travels have been affected by the protests. Air travellers can contact the centre through Tel: +66 (0) 2 132 1999, Fax: +66 (0) 2132 8999. To check flight schedule, air travellers can contact Tel: +66 (0) 2132 1888. The centre and all contact numbers are available 24 hours daily.
The State Railway of Thailand and the Transport Co., Ltd., (inter-provincial bus service) are operating as per normal. The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority is operating its city bus routes as per normal, although some routes are temporarily rerouted.
There is no reason at all to avoid Bangkok, which remains a popular tourist destination. However, tourist can also spend their holidays in other Thai cities, which are located within 1 or 2 hour travelling time from Bangkok through direct connecting flights from Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Security law
The Thai Government has announced the enforcement of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in all districts of Bangkok and Nonthaburi, Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan and Lat Lum Kaeo district of Pathum Thani until 31 December to maintain law and order.
The law does not prohibit nor obstruct peaceful demonstration held within the bounds of the law, but it enables security agencies - police, military and civilian - to effectively prevent and mitigate, as much as possible, undue disruption or impact on the safety of the general public.
Tourists need not be alarmed of the presence of security forces and checkpoints in Bangkok. Police are deployed to provide security in the city. Security has been stepped up to prevent ill-intentioned people from inciting violence. Traffic police are also stepping up efforts to ensure traffic flow in the city.

July 10, 2013
EDMONTON, AB, Jul 10, 2013/ Troy Media/ – Is there a Canadian, or a significant group of Canadians, unaware of Canada's historical connection with Great Britain?
I ask the question because the Harper government seems almost obsessed with reminding Canadians that the nation was once a British colony, as if we had somehow forgotten. Recent announcements by the Canadian government regarding a review of provincial Canadian history curriculum, the ongoing rebranding of the Canadian Forces to reflect British military tradition, and the campaign to celebrate the anniversary of the War of 1812 all speak to a curious effort about why it is felt Canadians do not understand history, or why we must revert to it. [emember_protected]
As someone who identifies as a staunch Canadian patriot, I have no problem with reflecting on our country's proud history, but a significant part of that history seems to escape the Harper government: that is, the post-1945 version of Canada that came into its own. Following the Second World War, Canada never lost its British roots, but took great strides in asserting its independence from both the British Crown and also from its American neighbours to the south. The creation of a uniquely Canadian flag and national anthem, the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms), the involvement in international peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions, and strides in human and economic development all signify the evolution of the Canadian identity since 1945.
A major fear throughout these reviews of history and return to British traditions is that the Conservatives are trying to selectively erase or overshadow what they perceive as Liberal legacies in the nation's history. Such a concern is particularly highlighted in the areas of foreign affairs and national defence, as many of the alterations made by Harper are aimed at events or policies enacted during eras when Canada was governed by a Liberal Prime Minister. For instance, the newly-announced rebranding of the Canadian Forces back to British ranking and insignia work in direct contrast to the amalgamation of the Forces during the late 1960s; Harper's continued refusal to use the language of Responsibility to Protect, or R2P, on the international stage, while approving missions that would seem to be premised on the same principles, is based on the fact that R2P and human security were prominent ideas during the Chrétien and Martin eras; and the Harper government's confounding withdrawal from multilateral institutions seems to be nothing more than an effort to promote a sense of Canadian identity divorced from previous Liberal governments.
Further, the review of Canadian history curriculum announced in May of 2013 is disturbing and unusual, considering education curriculum in all subject matters is a provincial mandate. To think that a national government would intervene and possibly seek to rewrite history serves little purpose at all. The committee of federal parliamentarians that would initiate the review, dominated of course by Conservative MPs, made particular note that emphasis needed to be placed on battles in modern Canadian history. If there is a history curriculum somewhere in this country that is not teaching the War of 1812, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, peacekeeping, the Cold War, the Afghan conflict or humanitarian intervention missions, that is absolutely a problem which should be immediately rectified. However, no evidence has been presented to indicate there is a problem with how students are being taught Canadian history, so why the review?
Remembering Canada's past is integral, but proper scholarship is not selective in its memory. Love or hate the governments, Prime Minister's or decisions of the past, they all account for and impact the Canada we have today. Our history is so important precisely because our contributions to international society extend far beyond Britain, the United States and battles. My hope is that all Canadians take pride in that legacy, and not just what the government of the day deems relevant.[/emember_protected]

PANAMA CITY - Shoppers were lining up early Thursday to score some big shopping deals.
Some believe Gray Thursdays, as it's being called, could steal a lot of thunder from Black Friday.
Standing in line at a store is as much of a Thanksgiving tradition for some folks as carving a turkey is for others.
Shopper Linda Blocker said, "I view this as an entire day to spend time with my grandson. We are both too busy most of the time, so it's a nice day for both of us."
More than a dozen major retailers from Best Buy to Toys R Us open Thanksgiving Day.
People, looking to get a jump start on their holiday shopping, camped out for more than 24 hours.
Most weren't phased by Wednesday night's 30 degree temperatures.
Taylor Huckabay was first in line at Best Buy.
He said, "I had three layers on top. Four layers on the bottom."
Huckabay's perseverance paid off when he got a 40 inch TV for almost half price.
"It takes some patience just sitting there and you kind of want to leave, but you are already there. So you just got to stick to it," Huckabay said.
Across the road at Toys R Us, shoppers were scrambling to get their hands on the hot items.
Shoppers agree they spend their Thanksgiving in stores so they can see the kids smile Christmas morning.
Jason Leabo is shopping for his little girls at Toys R Us.
He said, "Nothing replaces the smile of a child when they are genuinely surprised by what you got them."
Randy Vogt is a grandpa looking for the best bargains.
Vogt said, "The kids, it's all about the kids. It means everything."
The experts can't seem to agree if holiday spending will be weak or strong this year.
Some say dropping gas prices will allow consumers to splurge this Christmas.
While some are predicting a modest 2% sales gain over last year, others are predicting as much as a 5.4% increase.

Rutgers Takes 2-0 Game in Men's Soccer
PRINCETON, N.J. (9/8/12) - The Rutgers men's soccer team spoiled Princeton's home opener taking a 2-0 game on Saturday, Sept. 8 on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium.
Mael Corboz scored both goals for the Scarlet Knights who improve to 2-2.
Corboz scored on Rutgers first shot on goal in the 8th minute. Ross Tetro ran down the left flank and crossed the ball into the box where Corboz headed it towards the goal. The ball hit the right post and bounced back to his feet where he knocked in the rebound.
Princeton's first chance came about 14 minutes in when senior Matt Sanner had a header hit the crossbar off a free kick from sophomore Joe Saitta. In the 27th minute Sanner tried again with a kick from about 25 yards out that was pushed aside by the glove of keeper Kevin McMullin.
Corboz collected his second goal in the 52nd minute, scoring on his own free kick that curved around the wall and went into the right upper 90.
One of Princeton's better chances to score in the second half was a shot by freshman Nico Hurtado from the left side in the 84th minute, but it was scooped up by McMullin at the near post.
With two minutes to play Princeton senior keeper Max Gallin made two nice back- to-back stops on shots by Kene Eze.
Princeton outshot Rutgers 15-11 and doubled the Scarlet Knights in corner kicks, 10-5.
Gallin made four stops in goal for the Tigers, while McMullen made six for the Scarlet Knights.
Princeton (1-2) faces its fourth straight BIG EAST opponent on Friday, Sept. 14 when it hosts Georgetown at 7 p.m.

Archie Andrews to get an "iconic" death!
As the last family owned major comic book publisher left in North America, "Archie Comics" has undergone many changes under the tenure of CEO Jon Goldwater. This has not only included the addition of the "Mega Man" license (and a successful crossover with Archie's long running "Sonic the Hedgehog" comics), but a series of spectacular stunts which have capitalized on the lack of any "continuity" to the core "Archie" comics to garner added attention and sales in a market clogged with grim superhero books. One of these was a wedding story line which envisioned Archie marrying either Veronica or Betty, which kicked off a "Life with Archie" magazine following both married paths in subsequent stories for the fans who wish to explore them. Three years later, writer Paul Kupperberg is ending his run with a bang; a "death of Archie" story.
In an interview, Kupperberg revealed that this story was born during a meeting with himself, Goldwater, editor-in-chief Victor Gorelick and president Mike Pellerito in which it came up simply as a story the company has never done. Such a thing is staggering considering Archie once had a crossover with Marvel's Punisher. Kupperberg calls it "an iconic moment" and it seems that Archie's death will be heroic in some manner. The aftermath will "merge" the separate stories in "Life of Archie" between Betty and Veronica, as well as cover the cast in mourning for "Life with Archie #36" and thirty-seven. As usual with comic book "events", there will be variant covers - a whopping ten of them across the two issues, not including the cover to the trade collection. Artists such as Walt Simonson, Jill Thompson, Cliff Chang, Alex Ross, Mike Allred, Adam Hughes, Fiona Staples, and Francesco Francavilla will be contributing for these variant covers. As Goldwater himself said, "This story is going to inspire a wide range of reactions because we all feel so close to Archie. Fans will laugh, cry, and hopefully understand why this comic will go down as one of the most important moments in Archie's entire history. It's the biggest story we've ever done".
It is worth noting that none of this will effect the core "Archie" comics line of titles (which include spin-offs like "Kevin Keller", "Jughead", or "Betty & Veronica") which are sold in single comics and in cheap digest reprints in both comic shops and avenues outside the direct market (i.e. retail chains such as "Rite Aid"). As a company, "Archie Comics" is genuinely seeking to offer all products to all people, especially as their core readership not only is found outside traditional comic shops, but are statistically more likely to be female than male. While many cynics deride the "timeless" nature of their comics as being worse than the half century (or more) of "continuity" which most Marvel and DC Comics series have stuck to, Jon Goldwater has merely capitalized on this as liberating the franchise enough that anything can be done with it. At the same time as this "Death with Archie" story is discussed, Mike Pellerito was establishing plans to expand the "kids line" of comics already mentioned. Archie Comics have figured out they can successfully sell general "Archie" issues where the ageless high school gang meets KISS or continues their groovy adventures alongside a more serious zombie series in "Afterlife with Archie" for older audiences as well as apart from their "adventures" line of Sonic, Mega Man, and even some superhero titles like Mark Waid's "The Fox". From embracing homosexual characters to digital comics, Archie Comics have seemed to be able to mirror some of the moves of "bigger" companies, only without half as much hand wringing.
More details emerge about BOOM!'s "Big Trouble in Little China" comic!
At the start of March, BOOM! Studios revealed that it had attained the license to the 1980's cult film "Big Trouble in Little China" and were setting about to create a comic book series about it. It will be written by Eric Powell ("The Goon"), drawn by Brian Churilla ("The Secret History of DB Cooper"), with original director John Carpenter consulting on the series. Now, Newsarama has revealed three variant covers and a set date of release as June. Eric Powell also firmly states, "The story picks up from the very last shot of the film. I definitely wrote it as a comic book sequel". The series will feature the return of other characters from the film (besides it's star, trucker Jack Burton) as well as newer characters, and the hairy monster seen at the end of the film. It's been known for some time that 1980's nostalgia comics can sell, and it has even been shown that they can still be written well (i.e. IDW Comics' licensed line). The time is right for BOOM! to jump into the practice as well.
Eco Comics & ComiXology form digital comic alliance!
Ever since 2008, U.K. based digital publisher Eco Comics have sought to provide quality comic books with as minimal a carbon footprint as possible by selling all of their wares exclusively online. To wit, it seems that it was inevitable that they would unite with ComiXology, the world's foremost digital comic book provider, to bring their comics to wider audiences. This is an exclusive deal which is similar to many that ComiXology have made with various publishers, which will allow Eco Comics' series of the past, present, and future - such as "Mr. T", "Tough Guy", "Green Man", and "Dracula vs. Robin Hood vs. Jekyll & Hyde" - to be sold via ComiXology's online store and app. Eco Comics offers more than reasonable prices for their wares - individual issues range from .99 to $1.99 with graphic novels being had at $2.99, with many preview comics offers for free.
Paul Pope's "ESCAPO" launch party in NYC is a rock and roll charity gala!
Paul Pope, best known for "Batman: Year 100" and "Battling Boy", is overseeing the reprint of "ESCAPO", a surreal series about an escape artist which was originally published in 1999 but has long been out of print. Z2 Comics, formerly "Zip Comics", is overseeing the reprint of this work and a "launch event" has been scheduled for it on April 19th at 7:00 p.m. at the famous Webster Hall's Marlin Room (125 East 11th Street in Manhattan). Admission is $20 a head and it will feature a performance by U.K. based rock band "The Jim Jones Revue", with Paul Pope on hand himself to serve as the DJ for the party! In addition, all of the event's proceeds will go towards the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit which legally defends the First Amendment rights of any comic book creator, publisher, retailer, or librarian. A union of comics, rock and roll, and charity seems about the right fix for a Saturday night! Tickets can be had at Ticketweb for those 19 and up.

As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. That's what the promoters of Lockn' Interlocking Music Festival did when confronted with an unexpected circumstance that could have derailed the second edition of the event.
Faced with the news that Bob Weir abruptly stopped all touring, which included his appearances at Lockn' -- two shows with RatDog as well as the only scheduled 2014 date with his fellow Grateful Dead bandmate Phil Lesh in their band Furthur, they replaced them with a special ad hoc group featuring ex-Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, Steve Kimock and Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band) as well as additional sets by the String Cheese Incident, a second set by Umphrey's McGee plus the addition of funk act Lettuce.
Despite the loss of Weir and Furthur, Lockn', Sept. 4-7 at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrignton, Virginia, still posts a formidable bill that includes the final festival performance ever by The Allman Brothers Band who will perform the band's classic "Live at Fillmore East" in its entirety.
Also on hand will be Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Phil Lesh & Friends with a lineup that consists of Warren Haynes, John Scofield, John Medeski and Joe Russo), Widespread Panic with special guest Steve Winwood, Wilco, Willie Nelson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Drive-By Truckers, Gary Clark Jr., Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Del McCoury Band, Larry Keel, Sam Bush, The Wood Brothers and Cabinet.
Lockn' also boasts a lineup of artists who will take the music to the people by playing in the camping area. It includes a strong enough grouping for its own festival -- a double dose of Keller Williams who will lead Grateful Gospel and Grateful Grass, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Acoustic, Hot Tuna Acoustic, Bustle in Your Headgerow, Taj Mahal, Dumpstaphunk.
Like the inaugural Lockn' last year, it's highly encouraged and very likely that many of the musicians playing each day will end up making guest appearances during other artists' sets.
Besides the music, the fest plans to maintain a local flavor in the form of food and beverages being made by area chef with locally-produced goods (i.e. sausage, beer and kombucha) as well as repurposed wood that will be used as Belly Bars for eating and meeting.
An earlier time for the gates to open plus new routes will be used in order to alleviate the traffic problems that occurred last year.

Released: Sep 01st, 1991
Running Time: 82

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Generally, "Introduction" titled videos are the kiss of death for any wannabe pornstar. There's Barbie, Tabitha Stevens, Charlii, Danielle and Kascha who immediately come to mind, all of whom were long on looks and short on careers, with the exception of Danielle Rogers. Then there's Tracy Winn, a vibrant and bouncy newcomer with a killer face and legs, who fares much better thanks to one of your more unique coming-out videos in Introducing Tracy.
Director Chi Chi LaRue, who's really been on a creative binge in the mainstream as of late, uses stylish black and white slo-mo effects, interview sound bites, and you-are-there-as-it's-happening sex scenes to fashion a Pumping Iron documentary aspect of Winn's entry into the business. Only problem with that is some of the actors and actresses on the "set" talk about Winn in the past tense as if she were (Citizen) Charles Foster Kane or something. Style-wise, LaRue's effort is a grandiose achievement and offers wonderful insights and anecdotes as to what makes this business and its people tick. Like a video gossip column, it's penetrating and alive with voyeurism and spirited sex encounters. Fans of porn should find this video entry a major treat.

ZF-60: formatActionName() method is missing from Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface
from the mailing list... from firstname.lastname@example.com
In Zend_Controller_Action, the signature of method run() is: final public function run(Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface $dispatcher, Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Token $action)
Bug is in this function on line 111: $methodName = $dispatcher->formatActionName($action->getActionName());
The method "formatActionName()" hasn't been defined in Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface. It means that even if you have a dispatcher implements Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface, it can't be used in Zend_Controller_Action.

If you've never played a game of PAC-MAN, I'm surprised that you're actually reading this blog. The game is one of the classics that I can't help but play whenever I see it. Just the other day I was in a local restaurant that had a table-top version of Ms. PAC-MAN and dropped a few bucks into it.
Why hasn't PAC-MAN been turned into a movie you ask? Good question, I think it would make a killer summer blockbuster flick, and apparently some fans agree.
Here's a fan-made trailer for "PAC-MAN: The Movie" and it's a mix between TRON, The Matrix, and the game PAC-MAN, of course. The trailer comes from a company called Steelehouse Productions. In a word, it's awesome:
Come on someone, pop this onto Kickstarter and lets get the full-length film made!

The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) is investing over $20 million in newly funded special education research grants. The Center received 199 research grant applications across 10 program areas focusing on improving educational outcomes for students with or at risk for disabilities. To see a list of all the new awards by program topic, click here.
Highlighted new awards include:
Researchers to Study Efficacy of Intervention for Children At-Risk for Autism
Early intervention with children with or at risk for autism can promote better long-term outcomes and pre-empt more serious consequences associated with this disorder. Despite the rising prevalence of autism, there is little research about the efficacy of interventions with infants and toddlers who, at this point, have exhibited only some diagnostic symptoms. Dr. Linda Watson and her colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are assessing the efficacy of an early intervention program called Adaptive Responsive Teaching for improving developmental outcomes and improving symptom severity among 1-year-olds most at risk for autism.
Researchers to Study Efficacy of Speech Intervention for Children with Down Syndrome
There is a widely held belief that improving speech accuracy will lead to improved speech comprehensibility, yet traditional speech services in schools that focus on speech accuracy have not led to improvements in speech comprehensibility for students with Down Syndrome. Dr. Paul Yoder and his colleagues at Vanderbilt University will test the efficacy of two interventions -- Broad Target Speech Recasts (BTSR) compared to the Easy Does It for Articulation program -- for improving speech comprehensibility of elementary school students with Down Syndrome. BTSR focuses on the speech context through speech recasts (adult repeats words child is attempting to say, providing a model of correct pronunciation, pitch, stress, and intonation). The Easy Does It comparison program emphasizes drill and practice of individual sounds and sound combinations, reflecting typical services provided in school settings.
Positive Behavior Support program to be Adapted for Adjudicated Youth with Disabilities
An estimated 50 percent to 80 percent of incarcerated youth are reported to have educational disabilities or diagnosed mental health conditions. Researchers have argued that facility-wide Positive Behavior Support (PBS) may effectively address the educational, behavioral, safety, and security needs of youth in juvenile justice programs. The National Council on Disability cites PBS as an effective method to address the needs of adjudicated youth in the juvenile justice setting. Dr. Jeffrey Sprague and his colleagues at the University of Oregon and his colleague at Georgia State University will adapt and further develop a facility-wide PBS program for use in juvenile justice settings.
Group to Explore Predictors of Post-School Success for Adolescents with Disabilities
Understanding predictors of post-school success of students with high incidence disabilities is an important and understudied issue in special education. Dr. Jay Rojewski and his colleagues at the University of Georgia will use three national longitudinal datasets to examine the development of career aspirations of adolescents with high incidence disabilities, examine short term transition outcomes for students with and without disabilities, and explore the relationships between specific secondary educational programs and students' postsecondary education and work.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

In the NFL, Brock Marion doesn't qualify as a youngster anymore. Not with his 34th birthday less than three months away.But don't tell Lions defensive coordinator Dick Jauron his newest defensive back is on his last legs.Marion, a free agent since the Miami Dolphins released him March 2, agreed to a four-year contract Thursday, and Jauron expects him to play most—if not all—of the years covered in the deal…Although president Matt Millen and coach Steve Mariucci have been working hard at putting together a younger team, they obviously think Marion's combination of athletic ability and leadership makes him a worthwhile exception.
—Curt Sylvester, The Detroit Free Press "New Lion still impact performer"
Marion started all 16 games for the Lions in 2004, but was released at the end of the season and retired.

NetBeans Visual Web Pack - Real World Apps Tip #1 - Dynamic Content
By David Botterill on Jun 04, 2007
There seemed to be the most interest around building a "Tag Cloud" using NetBeans VWP (Visual Web Pack). So I thought I would start with that topic. In order to do tag clouds in VWP, you need to understand how to create two things first, dynamic content and dynamic hyperlinks. This blog will cover the details of creating dynamic content with NetBeans VWP. I'll then follow up with blogs for dynamic hyperlinks and finally tag clouds.
I do plan to put the source code for the Plugin Portal out on netbeans.org soon but I have to get through another phase and do some cleanup first. In order to demonstrate these topics, I'll be building simplified projects to be downloaded.
First, what is "Dynamic Content"? My use of this term focuses on the distinction between the design time UI design and the run time UI. Content that can not be visually created during design time is content that I refer to as "Dynamic Content" or content that is created during run time.
Representing the Content in the Design TimeOne of the greatest features of using VWP is the visual designer. The designer gives you a pretty good idea what the page will look like at runtime. So obviously you'd like to use the designer to even help with the dynamic content. To do this, use a "Layout Panel" as a placeholder for the dynamic content. Here's a screenshot of the project we will build. You can see the outline of the "Layout Panel" which I named "dynamicPanel".
Creating the Content at Run TimeNow that you have a placeholder for the dynamic content, "dynamicPanel", you can create the content at run time. We'll target the "preprocess" method of the page backing bean. For more information on the VWP application model, please see the article, "The Java Studio Creator 2 Application Model". As you may already know, VWP incorporates most of the Java Studio Creator 2 functionality. The application model in VWP is the same as Java Studio Creator 2.
For this first example, let's simply add a button as dynamic content. Here's the code to do that.
public void prerender() {Note 1 - If you don't know the type for the component you want to add, visually add the component to the designer and look at the Java source to find the type.
\* First clear out the layout panel
if(null != dynamicPanel.getChildren()) {
\* Now create the button to add.
Button dynamicButton = new Button();
dynamicButton.setText("My Button");
\* Add the button to the layout panel.
Note 2 - The content you add MUST be a subtype of "UIComponent".
ConclusionHere's what our page will look like.
Now that I have covered the basics of creating dynamic content, in my next blog I'll cover creating dynamic hyperlinks.
You can download the sample "DynamicContent" project I used to get started. I used NetBeans 5.5 with Visual Web Pack installed to create the project.
