If you've been looking to sell your Abilene home, but have stayed away from the real estate market, this may be the time to reconsider.
The number of homes available for purchase across the Big Country is the lowest it has been in years.
Homes are selling – so much so that Abilene's home "supply" is low.
At the end of April, 697 homes were available to buy on the multiple listing service. Records show there hasn't been so few homes for sale through local Realtors since the summer of 2006.
Meanwhile, buyers are on the hunt. Thirty more homes sold during April of this year compared to April 2012.
Dave Dalzell, president of the Abilene Association of Realtors, said all of that adds up to your classic, low supply/high demand situation.
"The market is showing more demand from the buyers, and it's a great time for an owner to decide to put their home on the market," Dalzell said.
Home values are also showing an increase. The median sales price for a home in April of this year is $124,500. That's up by about $13,000 compared to the same time last year.
In addition, homes are on the market for an average of 82 days before selling.

Balinese life based on culture is rich in folk stories. In the past, parents always told bedtime stories to children or grandchildren to take them into a beautiful dream. Therefore, all parents on the Island of the Gods would know and could tell stories.
The theme could be very diverse, ranging from wildlife, human life up to mythology about gods. The story itself is also very simple and the figures are easily called and remembered. Interestingly, one of the prominent names in the stories can become a nickname for one of the children considering his or her characteristics and behavior resembled to that of the figure in the story.
Unfortunately, the tradition of storytelling gradually vanishes and even does not leave a single trace. The story filled with the philosophy of life is getting away from children because they prefer to enjoy modern stories, such as soap operas and animation films with uncertain messages. "Our children are now starting to lose the space where they can find a reflection, especially for children who live in urban areas," said I Nyoman Sumandhi.
This puppeteer from Tunjuk village said the current children were no longer interested in hearing folk stories. Instead, they tended to like modern stories completely involving electronic aspects. By all means, such phenomenon had made Balinese storytelling that had been known by generation of their parents an alien, even was no longer known. "Such conditions are very unfortunate whereas Balinese storytelling can become a reflection of life," he said.
According to the English puppeteer, the Balinese storytelling was full of life values through moral messages, good and bad deeds, attitudes, mutual assistance and character education. Such values could be delivered through storytelling. "In the storytelling activity, we can put all the messages of life to children. Today, children do not want to be told directly, so it should be inserted through stories," he said.
There were so many folk stories having rich moral messages. For example, the story on Poor Lady and Rich Lady told the characters of the rich and the poor, Pan Balang ultimately reaped the results of his act due to laziness, cleverness of I Lutung (monkey) and many more. "Almost all the folk stories in Bali have a directive to be getting better," he said.
Too busy
Similar opinion was also revealed by Made Sidia, a lecturer in the Puppetry Department, the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Denpasar. This man from Gianyar also said that children were now very busy with their activities, while parents were too busy and had contribution to the loss of storytelling tradition. More sadly, some parents did not know about storytelling, so that they were more concerned with the academic aspects than character building contained in the folk stories. "Education on moral values should be given to children," he reminded.
Nyoman Sumandhi and Made Sidia then agreed if the storytelling that had once become a popular activity in the past could be incorporated into the school lessons through local content. Aside from educating mentally, this lesson also served as a kind of cultural preservation that had now become the cornerstone of tourism. (BTN/015)

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- The 20th anniversary of the National Corvette Museum, along with the grand opening of the Motorsports Park are both happening this week, and city officials are predicting it will positively affect our economy.
"Those are outside dollars coming in and making an impact on our community," City Commissioner, Melinda Hill, said.
The grand opening of the N.C.M. motorsports park is expected to bring thousands of people into Bowling Green throughout the week.
"This is going to impact tourism tremendously, and we are so fortunate to have the motorsports park opening this weekend. Plus, we have the corvette museum and the corvette plant, so there are three things related to motorsports all in one location basically," Hill said.
One local hotel owner says this week is completely booked.
"We have definitely had people still calling trying to get rooms at the last minute. Probably just five minutes ago, I had someone call looking for a room for this week, but it's going to be really hard to come by right now. I think most of the area hotels have been booked for at least a year," The Hotel Sync's President, Preetesh Patel, said.
Patel also says he plans to recommend other activities in addition to their scheduled plans.
"Just to show them the hospitality of Bowling Green, to show them what we have to offer and give them suggestions on other things they can do while in the area whether it's bourbon tours, cave tours, or just seeing whatever else is in the area, along with the corvette museum," Patel said.
Not only will these events boost the local economy, Hill says this track could also bring jobs to the area over the next couple of years.
"What we need to do is get our younger people excited about manufacturing once again, and this motorsports park is going to be one tool to do that. Let them know the exciting opportunities that are out there which they can receive jobs in," Hill said.
The grand opening of the Motorsports Park is scheduled for Thursday, August 28th.

Thank you for registering for The 2015 Dizzy Fifties! As in years past, all distances will begin at 6:30 am sharp. I will make periodic updates to this page so check back every couple of weeks.See you on the trails!Don Alan HankinsRace DirectorI am sorry for the late post on packet pick up! Race packets may be picked up on Friday November 20th from 10am till 7pm at Fleet Feet Huntsville and at the pavilion on the morning of the race beginning at 5:30am.See you at the starting line!
*All the loops and turns should be enough to make anyone dizzy :) Actually, its not really that bad on the turns, but 5 southern loops and 5 northern loops does tend to make one's head spin a bit. *It's named in honor of my new Border Collie, Dizzy. I have a great Labrador Retriever, Miles, and he runs with me, but at 90 lbs, he gets tuckered out after about 3-4 miles. Dizzy is my next hope for a 'trail dawg'. *A dog we kept for a friend, was named Trane, for John Coltrane. In keeping with that, when we decided to get a Lab, we named him Miles, for Miles Davis, a contemporary of Coltrane's. Also, I wanted a running companion, so that sorta worked too. So Dizzy is of course named for Dizzy Gillespie. We're pretty jazzed up about both of them.

Baptists across Michigan will gather in Saginaw this summer for the 2012 state convention.
Preparing for a state convention is often an exciting time. Members often anticipate making new friends and deepening their faith. The state convention brings together various Baptist churchgoers to celebrate, worship, and grow in the Word.
Quite often church groups conduct fund raisers to afford conventions. This helps cover the cost of hotels, conference fees, food, and transportation. Therefore, planning ahead for conventions is important. Making reservations early also helps.
The Wolverine State Missionary Baptist Convention will convene from July 30 through August 3, 2012. It features a week full of events, including a Monday night musical, and sectionals for Woman's Auxiliary, Layman's ministry, and a Young People's Department.
The event takes place at the Wolverine State Baptist Headquarters, 615 S. Jefferson St., Saginaw, Michigan. For more information, contact Rev. Dr. Henry L. Fuller, Jr., at (810) 787-2563.

Panama City Beach-- The spring break party at the Holiday Inn on Front Beach Road moved into the streets for about an hour Sunday evening. Everyone was evacuated when a tiki hut on the west side of the hotel caught fire.
"It ended up being their storage area. It's a thatched roof that covers that storage area. Not sure of the cause at this point but that's what was on fire," said Captain Steve Miller with Panama City Beach Fire Rescue.
Chelsea Kappa, a spring breaker from Ohio, is staying at the hotel. She had to do a double take when she the fire while ordering a sandwich at Subway across the street.
"I looked across the street and saw shooting flames from our hotel and I wasn't really sure what I was seeing. I was like that's not happening right now. And then I told my roommate, she looked around and she was like yeah, our hotel's on fire," said Chelsea Kappa, a hotel guest from Ohio.
A couple of guests who were on the fifth floor were treated on scene for smoke inhalation.
"Being that it's thatched, they did have heavy smoke; we could actually see the smoke from Highway 79 when we left Station 1 so they had a lot of smoke in their rooms," said Captain Miller.
Hotel security and staff evacuated everyone in a matter of minutes and firefighters were able to put the blaze out quickly.
"Thankfully our team was ready and did a fantastic job. We're so thankful everyone's safe," said Julie Hilton, Owner of the Holiday Inn.
Officials have not confirmed the cause of the fire. The state fire marshal will investigate.

To say that Batman killed Superman would be simplistic to be sure, but still not far off the mark. He was certainly contracted to execute him, but the trail of the 'man himself was over long before that.
While the comic industry relishes a new found high point both creatively and financially, it's first and greatest archetype still languishes at the bottom of the bargain bin. In terms of recognition, he is "second only to Jesus" (Wizard 127, p60) and the two have often been compared. He was the modern world's first super-powered hero, first costumed adventurer, first franchise and first and favorite son. Yet in terms of sales and popularity he is constantly surpassed by the legions of hero titles that have borrowed (and for all intents and purposes, often improved on) much of his formula. Who was once the standard is now a caricature; a puppet nodding and dancing for our amusement. The man of tomorrow is dead, buried in the memories of yesterday.
Oh you didn't hear he was dead did you? Of course, he had been dead, it was all over the news a few years ago, but he came back, as those in his profession tend to do if you wait long enough. However rumors of his resurrection were greatly exaggerated, and the cause of death wasn't even made public.
Surely you remember the trial then, we were all there. I regret to say that even I laughed at him quietly when they paraded him in, looking ridiculous in his tights-and-towel getup; that standard which he himself had set as the uniform for his ilk. How foolish we all were to pretend that he wasn't wearing his underwear on the outside, that he didn't oversimplify good and evil, that he was anything but a child playing at (and how dare he) being more than a man.

Did Kyle dye his hair? :)
If anyone remebers back in MotS Kyle had graying hair. Now it looks like hes 10 years younger....:P around the original Jedi Knight time. Just wondering what's with that :). Does that mean the story is going to countinue after the Original JK, but skip over MotS, as if it never existed? :)
________________________________________________--------------------------------------------- :)________________________________________________ _________________________________---- -----------------------------------------______________________
If you check on the lucasarts website and read the JKO synopsis, you should see that the game picks up after Kyle's fall to the sith.
MOTS takes place 5 years after JK so more than likely JO is taking place between the two games.
"He's no good to me dead."
[ May 31, 2001: Message edited by: Angry Drunken Ewok ]
To answer these questions: When a Jedi is seduced to the Dark Side, the destructive energy of the Dark Side begins to take a toll on the Dark Jedi's body, (ie, Emperor, who had to keep switching bodies to stay alive). Kyle's body was affected in the same way when he went to the dark side, I assume after you leave it the affects subside or the power of the light side restores your body (either through himself, or Mara or Luke). That is why Dark Jedi can come back to the light (ie Kip Durron, Kam Solusar)
Perhaps he just used a bit of grecian 2000.
Nothing wrong in that, how is he going to pull the birds with grey hair?!
And has anyone noticed how much this new Kyle looks so much like the actor who played him in JK? As opposed to the ingame block that was supposedly Kyle... ;)
Look at the pic where kyle's force-pushing the stormtrooper through the window, crank up the gamma and you can see his hair is graying at the bottom. It's just kind of a dark picture...
In response to finalnight....the emperor(palpatine) NEVER switched bodies....he had many clones made(Dark Empire trilogy) but never once in the Star Wars time/story line did he switch bodies...and another person to add to the dark/light force switching is Luke Skywalker
lol that's a funny topic
I think they've done a good job with this Kyle. I too had noticed the lack of noticeable greying hair - but someone else has already offered a reasonable explanation for that.
The chat log said JKO takes place around 14 years post-ANH, if that's any help putting the timeline in perspective. ;)
He did switch bodies in the Dark Empire Comics, remember, when the emperor was killed by Vader in the second Death Star, his spirit was ripped away to that clone planet where it took him many years to recover.
My mistake....I forgot that all the clones had his spirit in them...but still he didnt switch because the dark side was destroying his body he did because the clone bodies were destroyed so he moved to the next one.
I'm gonna have to agree with Drunken Master Ewok. When his clone was destroyed, his loyal followers made a new one for him. His spirit would then transfer itself to the new body.

TG-FTIR Coupled System
Optimized TG-FTIR Gas Cell
TG-FTIR Application Areas
About Bruker Optics
Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis measures changes in the mass of the sample as a function of temperature and/or time. TG provides characteristic information about the composition of the specimen, specifically the amounts of its various components and their thermal behavior. Other measurements, such as the kinetic analysis of thermal decomposition, are also possible. However, by itself TG does not allow the direct identification of the gases released from the sample during the thermal treatment. For this purpose, coupling TG to a spectroscopic interrogation method, such as Fourier- Transform- Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, is an excellent solution.
IR spectroscopy gives, with the exception of homonuclear diatomics and noble gases, the characteristic spectrum of each substance. It is a standard technique, which exploits the interaction of infrared radiation with the vibrating dipole moments of molecules.
Netzsch Thermal Analysis and Bruker Optics offer the integrated TG-FTIR coupled system.
Figure 1. Internal view of TG-209 IRIS
A 588 TG-FTIR module comprises a stainless steel gas cell, which has been designed for optimal IR beam geometry. It has an optical path length of 123 mm. The instrument is optimised for low volume analysis. The small active volumes of the thermal micro balance (2.4 ml), of the transfer line (4.5 ml) and of the gas cell (8.7 ml) in fact, allow a very low usage of transfer gas flow. This leads to an increased concentration of the evolved gases transported into the gas cell. Thanks to the vacuum-tight construction of the thermal micro balance and the gas cell, shown in Figure 2, both systems can be evacuated together. Due to the small amount of residual gases reduces the possible and undesired influence of the released gases on the decomposition process.
The features of the TG-FTIR Coupled System are listed below:
The TG-FTIR interface has been specifically designed (Figure 2) so that cleaning is no longer a time consuming operation requiring great expertise. The cell features removable ends which can be easily unscrewed for maintenance purposes. The transfer line is a disposable and easy-to-replace Teflon tube. IR spectroscopy is a non-destructive method. It allows the spectral analysis of single components from gas mixtures. The analysis of the gas phase IR spectra is simplified due to minimal molecular interaction. This also means that the IR spectra of gas mixtures can be resolved into their single components, simply by subtracting specific library spectra relevant to the corresponding pure compounds. Large libraries of infrared spectra are available for the identification of most gases and vapors.

Summer Skin Essential : Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+
Summer Skin Essential : Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+
Hello Ladies,
Hope you all are doing great!! I know I have been missing since Thursday, my Mom just turned a year younger yesterday so, I was all busy setting up her surprise birthday party and getting her a gift and all those "good" things in life! :P So I just got done with cleaning up my home, and getting myself back into my senses! So I thought today I should review one thing, which all of you have been wanting to know about, the Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+. I have already featured it in my summer essentials HERE.
Product Claim :
The Eucerin Sun Protection range incorporates an exclusive 3-dimensional protection system – offering UVA protection, UVB protection and natural protection with the anti-oxidant properties of Licochalcone A, an extract of the licorice plant. Licochalcone has been clinically proven to offer effective UVA and UVB protection in the upper layers of the skin while simultaneously strengthening the deeper skin layer against cell damage from sun-induced free radicals.
The new Sun Spray SPF 50+ has a highly effective UVA/UVB protection system with a light texture that is quickly absorbed into the skin, presented in a convenient spray-on format for easy full-body application.
Price, Availability and Quantity :
Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ is available at Binsina Pharmacy, Boots and other pharmacies too! Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ retails at 100 AED and you get 200ml of the product.
Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ comes in a plastic spray bottle!
My Thoughts on The Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ :
Hot weather and highly reflective sandy terrain make sun damage an important skin care concern in the Middle East. Strong UVA and UVB rays affect the skin in different ways – the UVA rays damage and destroy cell structures causing skin allergies, pigment spots and lead to premature aging, and the exposure to UVB rays can cause painful sunburn and harm cell DNA. As a proactive measure, skin needs special care when exposed to the sun in this region.
I am currently obsessed with Eucerin and La Prairie sun care ranges. I cannot pick my favourites from the both, but I love both of them equally and find them equally effective and worth every single DIRHAM :P I have been Eucerin as my summer essential since my school days I guess! I have been an ardent fan ever since and even now I continue to feel the same about it!
When they came up with a spray sunscreen I had to give it a try undoubtedly!
Have a look at the swatches of the product,
Texture/Tint :
Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ looks a little yellow tinted, but this does not make a difference to the texture and feel of the sunscreen. It has a semi liquidy form.
How do I use it:
I use the Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ after my moisturizing, I even skin my moisturizer in a hurry, and before my makeup base! I need about 2 and a half sprays of the product for my all day use!
Now let me summarize it for you all,
What's to LOVE about the Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ :
• The quantity and price! 200ML with a spray packaging, shall last you for 2 summers atleast since you need a very little amount of the product.
• Has a very mild leomn-y floral scent! I think "refreshing" scent would be a more appropriate word!
• The texture of the Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ is semi liquid, more on the watery side, hence it sprays out evenly!
• The spray keeps the product from wasting!
• Feels extremely light on the skin.
• Absorbs into the skin within seconds!
• Has a dewy finish!
• I lovvveee the packaging!! It makes my life so much easy when it comes to dealing with a sunscreen!! I love how efficient the spray is, and it didn't really clog on any product as yet even after more than a month's regular use!
• Travel friendly and handy to use!
• Water Resistant!
• Works for acne prone or sensitive skin too!
• Works for all skin types!
• Doesn't dry up the skin! Some sunscreens tend to get into the skin, dehydrating it and leaving it moisture less! This one is quiet moisturizing.
• Doesn't make the skin look greasy and oily after a while!
• Didn't break me out or cause irritation!
• Keeps my skin from tanning and being affected by the harmful sun rays!
What's to HATE about the Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+ :
Final Verdict:
I love love loveeeee Eucerin Sun Spray SPF 50+! I love how it works on my skin and how effective it is! I use it and I am tension free from all the scary harms the scorching summers would do! I love how wise the spray is and how convenient the usage of the product is due to it! In my HONEST OPINION, this is a perfect sun block for UAE's scorching sun, a total total must have for summers!!! You have to try it and I am very very sure you wouldn't want to switch!

An amaranth smoothie tastes somewhat like a thick, chocolate milkshake, except it's nondairy, and you don't add sugar, fat, or cream. What you do start with is a cup of amaranth cooked in 2 cups of water. You cook it like any other grain, until it's soft and chewy. When the amaranth is soft enough to your taste, let it cool. There's no gluten in amaranth.
Recipes abound for quinoa as a substitute for wheat or rice, but another super food on the market is a smaller grain called amaranth. You can cook amaranth like a grain to make a pilaf or grain dish, but since the grains are so small, puree it with liquid and turn it into a smoothie, as an alternative to serving it as a side dish instead of quinoa or rice.
Next, put it in a blender and puree it with a cup of unsweetened almond milk and a cup of coconut water (not from concentrate). The coconut water usually contains about 10 gm of sugar found naturally in the coconut water, per eight-ounce cup. Now add a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries and a handful of fresh or frozen mango chunks. Blend it all into a smoothie/puree/emulsion and chill or freeze. If you want to turn it into a type of frozen dessert, add a half cup of grated organic coconut and puree until smooth in your blender, then freeze.
Or drink as a smoothie. The grated coconut is optional, in case you didn't want the added coconut, which is saturated fat. Coconut water, on the other hand, doesn't contain fat from the coconut 'flesh'.
Instead of amaranth any other cooked grain can be added to a smoothie, but the goal is to use a grain that's low on the glycemic index, that is that doesn't quickly turn to sugar in your bloodstream, and amaranth is on various lists as a super food. You also may wish to check out the Forbes article on amaranth as a super food. See, "Rediscovering Amaranth, The Aztec Superfood." Or, on another note, regarding vegetarian foods, you may want to take a look at, "Vegetarian Diets for Seniors."
The Forbes article describes amaranth as a tiny, fast-cooking grain that doesn't require soaking, amaranth is gluten free, contains more essential amino acids than any other plant source (lysine in particular), has been shown in lab tests to reduce cholesterol, is second only to quinoa as a plant-based iron source, is reportedly the only grain to include vitamin C and is remarkably high in protein. Besides smoothies, you also can fluff cooked amaranth and toss it in a salad with cooked quinoa, greens, red bell peppers, celery, chopped red onions, spinach, arugula, cucumbers, tomatoes, or other salad fixings.
That article also adds that the Whole Grains Council, citing a 1993 study by the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama at Guatemala, wrote that, "Using cheese protein as a reference, researchers concluded that the protein in amaranth 'is among the highest in nutritive quality of vegetable origin and close to those of animal origin products.'"
Another article, "Amaranth: Superfood for Super Health," published in Muscle & Fitness, noted that amaranth is a complete protein. Amaranth seeds also can be ground into flour to bake cakes, breads, crackers, cookies, or other similar foods, or they can be substituted for similar foods like quinoa or brown rice. But amaranth grains are tiny. And amaranth leaves also can replace various greens such as kale.
Amaranth seeds contain three times the amount of calcium other grains have. The calcium in amaranth amounts to about 12% of an adult's daily value, based on a 2,000-calorie diet and a cooked one-cup serving. From a 250-calorie serving, you'll get nine grams of protein and five grams of fiber.
The tiny grains also have some iron and other minerals. Amaranth has been called a super food. You also can check out the various studies on the health benefits of amaranth. There's also a study showing a possible positive effect in cancer prevention and in reducing inflammation for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. You may wish to check out the Washington Post article, "Ancient grains can help prevent cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure." That article explains, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's dietary guidelines, at least half of all grains eaten each day should be whole (that is, intact, ground, cracked or flaked).

Re: Opinions on CalDigit external hard drives?
I have the 4 TB version set up for mirror data backup. My use is intermittent so it doesn't run all the time. I've never done streaming video with it and can't comment on that. It is very well made and works as expected, no problems. I consider it to be enterprise quality vs the more typical consumer grade devices available. Highly Recommended.
One very slight drawback. It is a bit noisier than anticipated. I have a very quiet work area occasionally hearing a fan kick on from my mac pro. I usually know when the CadDigit drive is recording data because I can hear it click. It also has a variable speed fan. When running warm, it is very noticeable.
For my use, the CalDigit is great.

text: Mar 5, 2014 22:37 Former IRS official refuses to testify at hearing Former IRS official refuses to testify at hearing Former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official Lois Lerner speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, March 5, 2014, during the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the the agency's targeting of tea party groups, where she invoked her constitutional right not to incriminate herself. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke) Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, talks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, March 5, 2014, after former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official Lois Lerner invoked her constitutional right not to incriminate herself and did not testify before the committee's hearing on the targeting of tea party groups. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke) STEPHEN OHLEMACHER| Associated Press March 5, 2014; 2:05 p.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — The former Internal Revenue Service official at the heart of the agency's tea party scandal once again refused to answer questions at a congressional hearing Wednesday that quickly devolved into political bickering between Democrats and Republicans. Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections. She was the first IRS official to publicly disclose the targeting, issuing an apology on behalf of the agency at a law conference in May 2013. But when she was called to testify before the House Oversight Committee a few days later, she invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa recalled Lerner for a hearing Wednesday. Lerner appeared with her lawyer, but she invoked the Fifth Amendment at least nine times when questioned by Issa. Issa, a California Republican, quickly adjourned the hearing despite attempts by Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the committee, to make a statement. At one point, Issa said, "Shut it down," and Cummings' microphone was turned off. Afterward, Cummings, of Maryland, said he wanted to point out that despite Republican claims of a political conspiracy, the committee's investigation so far has not shown any political motivation by IRS agents. The investigation also hasn't shown any links to the White House, Cummings said. Last year, the IRS's inspector general released a yearlong audit that found agents had improperly targeted conservative political groups for additional and sometimes onerous scrutiny when those groups applied for tax-exempt status. The IRS watchdog blamed ineffective management by senior IRS officials for allowing it to continue for nearly two years during the 2010 and 2012 elections. Since the revelations became public last year, much of the agency's leadership has been replaced and the Justice Department has started a criminal investigation. The IRS has also proposed new rules for handling applications from so-called social welfare organizations. IRS agents were reviewing tea party groups' applications to determine the amount of political activity the groups were engaged in. Under current rules, groups applying for tax-exempt status under section 501 (c) 4 of the tax code can engage in politics but it cannot be their main emphasis. Three congressional committees are also conducting investigations, though Issa suggested his committee's investigation may become stalled without Lerner's testimony. "At this point, roads lead to Ms. Lerner," Issa said after the hearing. Without her testimony, "it may dead-end at Ms. Lerner." Issa and other Republicans on the committee say that Lerner had effectively waived her constitutional right not to testify at last year's hearing because she made an opening statement in which she said she had done nothing wrong. Technically, Wednesday's hearing was a continuation of that hearing. Issa said the committee will consider whether to vote to hold her in contempt. Cummings said he does not believe Lerner waived her constitutional rights. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

LCI works to protect local water quality by educating the public about how unique this region is – there are no other coastal regions like it.
LCI partners with the local grassroots organization Friends of the Rivers to provide water quality education programs and to make recommendations to local municipalities and elected officials.
The Institute began working on water quality issues in 2000 when staff assisted Nancy Schilling with the formation of Friends of the Rivers. LCI provided both logistical and financial support for the organization until it was able to obtain its own 501c3 non-profit status and sources of funding.
A major success of the partnership between LCI and Friends of the Rivers is disseminating the message "What makes Port Royal Unique?" This program explains what needs to be done locally to protect water quality and is based on results from scientific studies conducted by NOAA, SC DNR, and SC DHEC.
In 2009, nine years after LCI first started giving this program, both Beaufort County Council and local municipalities have embraced this message and are working to improve their stormwater ordinances.

Mirko desperate, Barry hungry
Preview by Brady Crytzer
The co-feature of UFC 115 is guaranteed dynamite as kickboxing greats Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Pat "HD" Barry square off in a heavyweight showdown.
While Barry has made his mark in the UFC as one of the new generation of contenders, "Cro Cop" will be battling as a desperate man as this could be his last chance. Two strikers from two different parts of the world will be squaring off in Vancouver this Saturday. Neither man has any intention of taking this fight to the ground and both perform on the highest levels of technical brilliance. The UFC is premiering in on Canada's west coast with a card for the ages.
Striking: Wow, just wow. Both Barry and Cro Cop have established themselves as some of the premier pure strikers in the whole of the MMA's heavyweight division. They are both dynamic and dangerous kickboxers, but there are very pronounced stylistic differences. It may not be possible to say who is better, but an explanation of their approaches should do the trick. Though he is not nearly as accomplished in the kickboxing world as his opponent, Barry has set his 5'9 frame apart by display powerful, swift leg kicks and Tyson-like upper body movement. Though he is shorter than Mirko, he possesses fight ending power in both hands-most notably his hooks. He uses his physical disadvantages well by weaving his way inside of bigger opponents and making them pay with short, hard blows. Cro Cop on the other hand has been a K-1 mainstay for over a decade and became the first European fighter to ever successfully make the move from K-1 to MMA. Cro Cop is a southpaw and a natural counterpuncher with his boxing. He has great confidence in his kicks and often goes on the offensive with violent shin-first blasts to the head and body.
Barry is the shorter fighter and a smart Cro Cop will try to keep space and utilize hard kicks to the body and head. He will however be at a disadvantage as Barry will be pressing forward constantly.
Grappling: There isn't much to say in this department. Neither man is fighting in this co-feature because they are terribly well rounded. Way back in the mists of yesteryear Mirko displayed good submissions by choking out Kevin Randleman on New Years Eve of 2004. However, that was many moons ago and its basically irrelevant in 2010. Barry found himself on the floor against the monstrous Tim Hague in 2009 and suffered his only Octagon loss as a result.
Neither man has a functional edge on the mat in this fight. To be quite honest I don't believe either man will be looking to gain one either.
How They Match Up: You've heard it here before…MMA is a sport of "What Have You Done for Me Lately." This fight is no different.
Like many of his Pride FC compadres, the mythology that surrounded Mirko Cro Cop has been dissolved once they "bore witness to the fitness of the modern warrior." Cro Cop suffered disastrous defeats to Gabriel Gonzaga, Cheick Kongo, and Junior Dos Santos, and it seemed like overnight that his air of invincibility was gone for good.
Barry has said that at one point he kept a poster of Mirko on his wall. Barry is much shorter than the Croatian, but his drive is much greater. Simply put Barry is on the upswing, and Mirko is getting his last chance.
Barry trains at one of the absolute best (and sickeningly underrated) gyms in the world. While it has lacked in the grappling preparation at times, there is no better trainer for a bout with Mirko Cro Cop in the world than Duke Roufus. Barry will be ready for war and he'll love every minute of it.
This will be a tactical fight as Cro Cop will loosen up early. He will not fear a takedown and he will be incredibly confident. Barry's technique and speed will be the difference maker in this stand up bout and he will stop him with his hands in rounds two or three.

After standing on the verge of breaking up for some time around 1997, Hypocrisy needed something strong to mark their comeback. Therefore they dived into writing new material, and the result was an album that was originally meant to be called "Cloned", but for various reasons that title was dropped so the band made the decision to simply call it "Hypocrisy", to further underline its character of a new beginning. The "farewell" tour that followed the release of "The Final Chapter" and the devotion of the band's fans worldwide filled Peter, Mikael and Lars with new energy, and harmony inside the band was re-established when all the members (and not just Peter) began to contribute with ideas for the songwriting again.
With this album, the experimentation that began with "The Forth Dimension" and was later more developed with "Abducted" reached a new peak. Diversified song structures paved the way for bold and unusual arrangements, with Peter stretching the limits of his voice to fit the particular mood of each of the songs. Of course, the sound was once more excellent, as in everything produced in the well-known Abyss Studio.
"Hypocrisy" begins "Fractured Millennium", a perfect album opener with its great buildup at the beginning: first, eerie keyboards set a kind of sci-fi atmosphere (typical of post-1994 Hypocrisy), then the powerful bass and drums join the melody, and finally the guitars kick in, announced by an abrasive pickscape and accompained by Peter's raucous, inhuman scream. It's clear from the start that the band took more time to work out the arrangements of the songs (which were already excellent on the previous efforts), and even the sound manages to be better than in the past: the guitars are still acid and overpowering but not as sharp as they were on "Abducted", the drums have more power, the bass is thicker and the keyboards are given a more rounded and full presence. The vocals, however, are a story of their own. As said, on this album Peter tried to experiment on his voice, probing different solutions for each and every song. He uses several kind of voices - rasping screams, deep growls, clean chants and more - but instead of using one instead of the other, he often uses two or more of them together, adjusting their levels in the mix so that one of them dominates over the others but leaves them still very audible. This adds a new dimension to the sound, and indeed "Hypocrisy" has an aural depth unparalleled by any other album at the time, which fits perfectly the more intricate song structures.
"Fractured Millennium" itself is a mid-tempo in the vein of the band's "hit" "Roswell '47", but this time the melodies, while still being catchy and powerful at the same time, are more complex and mature in their key changes, the guitars create layers and layers of distorted melodies and Peter's vocals complete the job - there are clean vocals hidden in the chorus. This song has really a lot of stuff going on, despite its accessible nature, which is quite an achievement.
For a complete contrast, "Apocalyptic Hybrid" hits the listener like a train with its frightful speed and aggression. This song is best described as a relentless maelstrom of riffs flowing one into another at breakneck speed; the guitar work is insane, the drums never slow down, the vocals are sinister menacing. The display of musicianship shown here is totally amazing, this has to be one of the most frantic and mercless numbers Hypocrisy have ever put out - and yes, I'm counting the first albums too.
"Fusion Programmed Minds" lets the listener recover with some seconds of laid back distortion as an intro, but soon explodes into a Maiden-esque galloping groove that sustains the whole song. Peter sticks to sharp screams on this one, although on the chorus he tries a kind of semi-clean rasp that really gets me. The riffs are great, once more, so the song is a winner on the musical side too.
"Elastic Inverted Visions" is a track written by the band as a whole, and showcases some of the album's best melodic ideas so far; opening with a simple but really cool clean guitar line, this song becomes another great Hypocrisy mid-tempo with layers of guitars and keyboards building a great atmosphere. Peter shines once more, as he uses clean but aggressive vocals paired with hsi tradeemark screams, and even goes into a dual voice clean part during a quiet break.
The speed goes up again for "Reversed Reflections", another Classic Metal-influenced track built on some seriously kick-ass riffs, perfectly balancing melody and crunch. This is where Peter begins focusing more on clean vocals, and does a great job at it, as a good deal of melodic depth (like in the bridge) is provided indeed by his multi-tracked voice.
"Until the End" is one of the slowest moments of the album, but doesn't definitely lack in power thanks to its great riffs and Lars's clever bass drumming, which stays quiet during the verse, becomes faster during the bridge and reaches a peak in the chorus - and the rhythm always stays the same. The vocals are mostly clean and again multi-tracked to create beautiful harmonies, with Peter coming up with a low and sorrowful voice in the chorus (kinda reminds me of Andrew Eldritch of the Sisters Of Mercy); sorrowful is indeed the best adjective to describe the mood of the song, moved on with a slow and depressive pace by majestic keyboards and sad guitar melodies.
"Paranormal Mysteria" brings the groove back with a vengeance, an almost Black Sabbath-ish idea perverted by the band's post-Death Metal sound; wicked riffs rule the scene with little room for keyboards (which however fit perfeclty whenever they come in), and Peter's eveil screams return to the front, although there are brief (and wonderful) clean breaks to be found.
After such a streak of mid-tempos and slow meditations, the impact produced by "Time Warp" is even stronger than it would normally be. Although less frantic than "Apocalyptic Hybrid", this clearly Thrash-influenced assault is loaded with speed and anger; Peter's voice is clean but ferocious, and paired with some sharp-edged screaming outburtsts (the gradual switch from clean to screaming voice in "you're sucked into the time wwwWWWWAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRP!!!!" gets me every time). The riffs are some of the most powerful to be found in the band's cataloue, the drumming is relentless... yes, it's a great track, one of my favourites actually.
In complete contrast with the former assault, "Disconnected Magnetic Corridors" sticks to a slow tempo all the way through, but the variation that the rhythm doesn't bring is provided by the very complex melodic apparate. The riffs are linked to each other via very unusual and almost awkward key changes (and often loose harmonic structures can be found within one single riff), yet the superb arrangement makes the whole lot flow on very smoothly. The song has an almost psychedelic edge with its ethereal riffs and vocals, and every single instrument provides intricate melodic lines that blend in together wonderfully: the guitars and keyobards soar all over the place, the multi-tracked vocals summon unforgettably beautiful lines and Mikael's powerful bass creates the shape-shifting backbone which keeps the weird harmonic structures from clashing into cacophony and leads the song into ever unexpected directions. It's also interesting to note that this song, despite the very laid back drumming, was written by none less than Lars, who had also contributed with "Time Warp", just to show how much the whole band's involvement into the songwriting process breathed new life into the band's already wide-scoped sound.
"Paled Empty Sphere", the "official" closing track, was penned by Mikael and Peter like "Until teh End", and once again is a rather slow and melodic number, although not as overwhelmingly sad as the former. This song retains a pretty oniric atmosphere from the beautiful intro (featuring just quite keyboards and clean guitars) to the intense chorus; once again the arrangement is fantastic, as the guitars and keyboards grow louder along the way and reach a peak in the chorus, as Peter's clean vocals do. Great melodies, and great atmosphere. Tenth winner in a row.
There is, however, one more track to be found: "Self Inflicted Overload", which was listed as a bonus track on the first pressing of the album but actually appears in the subsequent regular copies anyway (luckily). This song is a pretty straightforward heabanger, really great to listen to; it's clear why the band decided to include it as a bonus track and not as part of the official tracklist, because it doesn't really fit with the rest of the songs. Peter's vocals are once again harsh for this one, although his high pitched screams at the end ("you won't get me aliiiiiiiiiiive"!) are something you don't want to miss.
With this album, Hypocrisy wanted to impress, and they sure did impress me. It's easy to get into, but offers something new with each and every listen thanks to its multi-layered song structures, and once again is a flawless display of mature musicianship served with the best production one can imagine. It's a great start if you are getting into Hypocrisy, and essential for any fan of the band. This is an album that deserves to be owned by any Metal fan, actually, so I'd better end this review here and let you go and get it.

The VCU-led research is one of 14 projects being funded through ARPA-E's Rare Earth Alternatives in Critical Technologies program, or REACT, which awarded a total of $31.6 million in funding to academic institutions across the country for similar projects last month.
The REACT program is focused on the development of alternatives to rare earth elements, which are minerals that occur naturally in the environment, for use in technologies such as electric motor and generator applications. This year, the REACT program received 89 concept papers and 14 were selected for funding. Read ARPA-E's announcement here.
With a push for more energy-efficient and green-powered technologies, materials scientists are working to advance the field of magnets by creating permanent magnets that can perform equivalent to the best commercial magnets, and are less expensive than what is available on the market - without relying on rare earth elements. Rare earth elements are difficult and costly to process and refine the metal.
The goal of the three-year project at VCU is to use the magnetic carbide-based composite - which looks like a fine black powder - to develop a magnet for use in a prototype electric motor. The transition metal carbide nanomagnets, which require no rare earth elements, was developed by Everett Carpenter Ph.D., associate professor of inorganic and materials chemistry and affiliate professor of chemical and life science engineering, and his team at VCU.
"Recent market trends have made the production and procurement of rare earth permanent magnets more challenging and less cost efficient - creating a secure supply of these materials here in the U.S. is critical," said Carpenter.
"This material represents a major paradigm shift. Traditionally, minerals such as iron, nickel, cobalt are mined from foundries, melted together, and fabricated just like you would steel. Our process is a chemical process that's nanobased. The program, if successful, would result in the first commercially viable rare-earth free magnet in nearly 50 years," he said.
According to Carpenter, the cost to produce this new magnetic material could be significantly reduced due to a simplified synthesis technique. For example, he said, the cost of making a rare earth magnet such as Samarium cobalt is approximately $70 per pound, but using the chemical process to create this new magnet could significantly lower production costs to $1.50 per pound.
The REACT program is focused on electric motor and generator applications, but the materials can be used in a host of other areas such as defense and telecommunications, said Carpenter.
Carpenter's team has been working closely with Shiv Khanna, Ph.D., professor of physics, and colleagues in the VCU Department of Physics.
The VCU team, consisting of Carpenter and Khanna, is collaborating with research teams from Northeastern University, the University of California-San Diego, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Moog Components Inc., Arnold Magnetics Technologies and Bayer Technology Services - each will play a specific role in the development, design, optimization and manufacturing process of this new magnetic material.

Feminism has played a part in the breakdown of the family which has led to serious social problems, Labour MP Diane Abbott says.
15:26, UK, Friday 04 January 2013
Feminism is partly to blame for the breakdown of the traditional family, one of Labour's most senior female politicians has claimed.
Labour's public health spokesman Diane Abbott, a divorced mother-of-one, warned that some major social problems "stem from family breakdown".
The feminist MP's declaration is controversial because it appears to reflect the views of Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith.
It could also herald a new political battle as the Tories and Labour vie to show how they will support traditional families.
Ms Abbott said: "As a feminist, perhaps we have been ambivalent about families. In the 1980s, we used to say: 'A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.'
"The more academic version was: 'The family is the site of women's oppression.'
"So those of us who came of age at the height of feminism had very mixed views about the family, since it seemed to be defined as a heterosexual thing with a certificate, children and mum at home."
She called on left-wingers to recognise that "some of the biggest public health issues stem from family breakdown".
"Doctors say to me that so many of the drug and alcohol problems they see stem from family difficulties," she said.
In a nod to the left, she added: "When I talk about stable families, I do not only mean the heterosexual, 2.1-children set-up, but also extended families or same-sex relationships."
But she continued: "I still believe some kind of stable family structure is vital and that is what most people want around them. I do not think we should abandon that terrain to the right."
Ms Abbott, in a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian, also warned about the dangers of fast food and internet pornography.
And she condemned parents who dress their children in designer clothes, warning that youngsters are being "saturated by materialism" in an age of "McParenting".
"There is something wrong when the average child knows 300 or 400 brand names before the age of 11," she told the newspaper.
She revealed she is looking at planning laws to see how banning fast food outlets from setting up near schools could be made easier to help tackle child obesity.
The MP also wants local authorities to have more powers to curb the amount of places selling alcohol in a single area.
On internet pornography, she expressed fears about how its proliferation affects children and particularly young girls.
Ms Abbott is due to give a speech later this month on the sexualisation of children and the rise of "sexting" - a type of cyber-bullying using mobile phones.

Just want to check if my answer and reasoning is correct for the following problem (Not a homework problem - it is a sample question for a test I'm preparing for)
In a survey, viewers were given a list of 20 TV Shows and are asked to label 3 favourites not in any order. Then they must tick the ones that they have heard of before, if any. How many ways can the form be filled, assuming everyone has 3 favourites?
My reasoning:
1) Choose 3 shows out of 20: $c(20,3)$
2) Choosing 0-17 shows from 17 choices: $c(17,0) + c(17,1) + c(17,2) + ... + c(17,16) + c(17,17)$
and add 1) and 2) together for the final answer.
Would this be correct? Is there a better way of doing the second part that doesn't involve so many calculations?
