GREENSBORO, N.C. -- It's October, the time of year when ghost tales and haunted places hoard conversations.
Almost everyone has heard of a 'haunted' place and each place has a story of why and when it became haunted.
The Carolina Theatre in Greensboro has two ghost legends. A construction worker fell to his death in 1926 while helping construct the theatre. In 1981, a woman hid inside and stayed overnight after watching a movie. Officials say the woman died in a fire that she set.
WFMY News 2's Eric Chilton spent the night inside the Carolina Theatre to see if stories of it being haunted are true. The Carolina Paranormal Society led the investigation and found that a NEW spirit resides there.

Almost the same thing as the Dirty Sanchez, The Dirty Snachez is when you are having anal sex and pull out and put your penis back in her vagina. The thrusting creates residual poo to build up around her vagina.

Equipment Investment and Economic Growth

November 1990
NBER Working Paper No. w3515
Using data from the United Nations Comparison Project and the Penn World Table, we find that machinery and equipment investment has a strong association with growth: over l9&)?l95 each percent of GDP invested in equipment is associated with an increase in GDP growth of 1/3 a percentage point per year. This is a much stronger association than found between growth and any of the other components of investment. A variety of considerations suggest that this association is causal, that higher equipment investment drives faster growth, and that the social return to equipment investment in well functioning market economies is on the order of 30 percent per year.

How to Become a Stockbroker?
Stockbroker is one of the most popular career options in the finance niche. If you are really serious about making money as a business student, stockbroker should be your first choice. As a stockbroker, the amount of money you make is definitely higher compared to other management career choices. There are many stockbrokers who make millions of dollars every year so you can also reach that level. But before you think about the potential earning of stockbrokers, you need to know how you can become a stockbroker. After all, you need to be acquainted with all the facts that are necessary to know for becoming a stockbroker. In this article, we are going to discuss about steps that you need to take to become a licensed stockbroker.
First of all, to become a stockbroker, you need to complete Bachelor's in any one of the below mentioned subjects:
Once you complete your Bachelor degree, you need to start your internship at one of the brokerage firms. Most brokerage firms would require you to have MBA since there is intense competition among stockbroker enthusiasts. In this regard, I would suggest you to join MBA as soon as you complete your Bachelors. That would mean you will be looked upon seriously by potential employers. Also once you complete your MBA, brokerage firms will take you easily as an intern. Once you are recruited as an intern, you need to complete at least six months at a brokerage firm. Learn more about various requirements to become a stockbroker by going to our website.
You won't be able to start practice as a stockbroker until and unless you pass Series 7 and Series 63 license examination. To be eligible to sit for these licensing examinations, you must be sponsored by a brokerage firm. So make sure that your brokerage firm is willing to sponsor you before you agree to be hired with them. The Series 7 licensing examination is considered one of the toughest professional licensing examinations so make sure you prepare adequately. You need to secure at least 72% marks to pass this examination. Once you pass this examination successfully, you will be legally entitled to start practice as a stockbroker.

U.S. stocks slumped, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index down a second day, as concern grew that Europe's debt crisis will hurt banks and an increase in jobless claims added to signs the economy is slowing.
JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo fell at least 1.2 percent as European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said the debt crisis threatens to infect banks. Chevron and Exxon Mobil dropped more than 1.6 percent as oil erased its gains for the year. Stocks pared losses as Greece had reached an agreement with the European Union and International Monetary Fund regarding an austerity plan that would help it win more financial aid.
The S&P 500 declined 0.3 percent to 1,283.50 at 4 p.m. in New York. It has gained 2.1 percent so far in 2011. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 59.67 points, or 0.5 percent, to 12,050. It's up 4.1 percent this year.
"It's extraordinarily discouraging," said Randy Bateman, chief investment officer of Huntington Asset Management in Columbus, Ohio, which oversees $14.8 billion. "We're just ending QE2 and the intent of that was to build employment and sustain the economy. That hasn't accomplished half of those objectives. The band-aid being placed isn't really to bail out Greece. It's to bail out the banks that hold Greek paper. If you lead people to think that their banks are going to be insolvent, that creates more problems."
Fed Cuts Forecast
The S&P 500 yesterday snapped a four-day rally after the Federal Reserve lowered its forecast for economic growth and said it will end its $600 billion bond-purchase program this month as planned. The second round of so-called quantitative easing, nicknamed "QE2" by investors, helped propel a 23 percent rally in the S&P 500 from when Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke foreshadowed the plan on Aug. 27 through yesterday.
The benchmark gauge of U.S. stocks fell 4.3 percent this month through yesterday amid concern that Greece will default on its debt and weaker-than-expected economic reports.
Global stocks tumbled today as Trichet said risk signals for financial stability in the euro area are flashing "red" as the debt crisis threatens to infect banks.
"On a personal basis I would say 'yes, it is red'," Trichet said late yesterday in Frankfurt after a meeting of the European Systemic Risk Board, referring to the group's planned "dashboard" to monitor risks. "The message of the board is that" the link between debt problems and banks "is the most serious threat to financial stability in the European Union."
Greek Austerity Deal
Measures proposed by Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos to complete a 78 billion-euro ($111 billion) austerity package required to win a bailout were endorsed by officials from the European Union and International Monetary Fund, said a person familiar with the matter.
A "solidarity levy" of between 1 percent and 5 percent would apply to all Greek wage earners, with members of parliament paying the top rate, Venizelos said at a news conference in Athens today. Self-employed Greeks will have to pay a separate charge estimated at around 300 euros a year on average, he said.
"It would be nice to put that European crisis behind us," said John Carey, a Boston-based money manager at Pioneer Investments, which oversees about $250 billion. "The last several weeks have been all about some of these other situations which we don't seem to have any control of. Some market participants may be reassured by the dedication of the European countries to addressing the issues. It may be they patch together some near-term way of addressing it. I'm not terribly hopeful that they can put this to bed any time soon."
Jobless Claims
Stocks also fell as applications for jobless benefits increased by 9,000 to 429,000 last week, Labor Department figures showed, exceeding the highest estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. Purchases of new U.S. houses fell in May for the first time in three months, showing the industry is struggling to gain momentum. Sales dropped 2.1 percent to a 319,000 annual pace last month, figures from the Commerce Department showed.
The S&P 500 traded today near its average price of the last 200 days of about 1,262, a level monitored by analysts who study charts to make forecasts. A decline below the 200-day moving average could herald more losses, according to Schaeffer's Investment Research.
"This is a key level," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's in Cincinnati. "With all of the uncertainty and all the things that are out there, it makes it that much more important. Fear is definitely coming back."

Nerve Anastomosis.
—Ballance, Colledge and Bailey32 have made an experimental study of various methods of nerve anastomosis. They conclude that with sutures of absorbable material it is unimportant whether the suture passes through the neurolemma alone or whether it penetrates the nerve substance. Varnishes were tried as a substitute for sutures, but the only one that was at all successful was that made by cutting a piece of living muscle into fine bits and pounding this up with a few drops of salt solution in a mortar so that sarcous material was set free. Anastomosis by the method of double lateral implantation was successful if the ends were placed not too far apart. When a median incision is made in the receiving nerve the tendency is for the two ends to become connected. Exact end-to-end suture of the nerve fibers is not possible in any case.

Squash, Sweet Peas And Pears — Oh My!Natalie
It was a terribly blustery day today, which is how it came to be 5PM with Huck and I still in our pajayjays not having seen the sun in person or felt the kiss of fresh air on our cheeks.
In a desperate attempt to say we got out of the house, I threw on a coat and slapped a beanie on Huck's bald head and together we were out the door, destination absolutely nowhere.
A few blocks into our spring-time aimless wandering the weather turned straight treacherous, so we ducked into the first doorway we could find. It happened to be the Whole Foods, which was fortuitous, because just the other day I was wondering to myself with a sense of foreboding about whether it was time for me to research baby food options.
According to nearly everybody, six months means SOLIDS. And how. But with Huck's sixth month looming on the horizon (where did my baby go?!?), I am still feeling apprehensive. As I stood there in the baby food aisle, I couldn't shake the notion that it all seemed so unnecessary. Why the rush? Why can't I introduce solids as Huck seems interested, in a natural way (here, I'm holding a banana, you seem interested, want some?) rather than on some strict timetable?
Luckily, it turns out science may be backing me up on this one.
New research is showing that delaying solids has a positive impact on the occurrence of food allergies and on childhood obesity rates. The new recommendation is that parents wait until baby is between six and nine months of age to introduce solids (source, source).
Then my mother spilled the beans: she waited 11 months to introduce me to solids. Eleven months! I just checked and, shoot, I seem fine! And I have always, always been a very healthy eater , at a very healthy weight, without a single food-related allergy. Coincidence? Probably, but you never know.
Huck has his six-month well visit in a few weeks, and I intend to bring up the matter with his pediatrician. But so far, and barring any medical intervention and/or Huck demonstrating that he is really ready and I need to get with the program, I am thinking we may be not be pushing Huck to a solids regimen just yet. Oh sure, I may give him a nibble of a banana here or there, or a finger full of avocado once or twice (I am dying to see how he'll react to trying these new things), but I am thinking . . . maybe in month seven we'll make this a priority? Or even month eight? (Month nine? Is that pushing it?)
When did you introduce your babies to solids? And how did you know they were ready?

It's a busy month in the history of human space flight.
April 12 marks the 50th anniversary of the flight of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin — the first human in space. It is also the 30th anniversary of Columbia's launch, the first flight of the space shuttle era.
A Russian Soyuz spacecraft displaying Gargarin's face and name was scheduled to take off April 4 from the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, using the same pad as Gargarin did 50 years ago. Its mission is to bring two cosmonauts and NASA astronaut Ron Garan to the International Space Station, returning the crew size there to six.
On or after April 29, the Endeavour (one of the two remaining space-worthy shuttles) is scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its final voyage.
The April 12 offer a curious perspective: Columbia first flew in 1981, only 20 years after the first manned space flight. But the Shuttle Program is now 30 years old, and has been around for a whopping 60 percent of the entire history of human space flight.
One should be forgiven to think of the shuttle as a marvel of modern technology, and it is, considering the continual upgrades it has undergone. But the fact remains, its inaugural flight was more contemporary with Gagarin's day than with ours.
I suppose that's an uncomfortable realization for those of us who remember watching that brand-spanking new, gleaming white Space Shuttle jump off the launch pad as though it were some cocky young sprint runner showing off for the crowds. What feels like yesterday, is a moment that extends more than halfway back to the beginning of the space age.
At the time of Gagarin's flight, the emerging "Space Race," as it came to be known, looked a bit lopsided.
The Russians had already launched Sputnik — Earth's first artificial satellite — into orbit on Oct., 4, 1957. Just 3 and a 1/2 years later, on April 12, 1961, they launched the first human into space.
News of the Soviet achievement, which had been kept under wraps until its successful completion, stunned the world and made the photogenic 27-year-old cosmonaut an international celebrity.
Gagarin was not just the first human in space, but also the first to orbit the Earth. The U.S. wouldn't match that achievement of Earth orbit for nearly a year.
Alan Shepard became the second human — and first American — in space less than two months after Gagarin, but his mission was sub-orbital, following a "ballistic trajectory" into space and back down. Shepard was however, the first to have some manual control over attitude and retrorockets.
In August, Cosmonaut Gherman Tito, the third human in space, spent a full day orbiting Earth; he made it 17 times around.
Then in October, 1961, Virgil "Gus" Grissom flew a
America's second suborbital flight, but almost drowned after splashdown in the Pacific when the hatch blew off his Mercury capsule and water flooded in.
By the time John Glenn made it to orbit in February 1962, he was the fifth person in space, circling the globe three times compared to Tito's 17.
The race was well under way, but it seemed that the U.S. was lagging.
Gagarin's flight had already spurred the U.S. into higher gear, and led President Kennedy to tell a special joint session of Congress, "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
This directive would have its desired effect over time.
Along the way, however, the U.S. lost the three-man crew of Apollo 1, who died on Jan. 27, 1967 in a launch pad fire during training.
The Soviet program was beset by a more serious set of technical failures and the first fatality during a space mission.
Due to state secrecy, the
crash of Soyuz 1 on April 23, 1967, remained largely unknown in the West until about two decades ago, when Glasnost (the new openness) and the breakup of the Soviet Union allowed new light to be shed on an old mystery.
In the end, the triumph of the Apollo 11 landing in the Sea of Tranquillity on July 20, 1969 could not have been a more spectacular or decisive win. With the U.S.'s successes, the Soviets abandoned their moon landing plans.
From the start, the Americans stayed in their capsules from launch through to splashdown. Their flights and recoveries were witnessed by millions on live television.
The Soviets claimed that Gagarin had landed in his Vostok 1 capsule (on dry land), but his and all early Soviet missions were carried out in secret.
Years later, as the veil of secrecy lifted, it was learned that Gagarin had actually returned from space in surprising fashion: He ejected from the capsule at 23,000 feet and parachuted the rest of the way down. What a way to come back.
Dressed in his orange spacesuit and white helmet, the first human space traveler walked toward some frightened strangers in the field where he had landed (near the Volga River), and cajoled a farmer and her daughter to let him call Moscow.
Since people knew nothing of his mission, he was probably quite lucky.
Of course, luck – good and bad – contributed to the progress and setbacks of both space programs, but in the end, it was the more open American system that won out. It was a model whose influence can be seen around the world – on the ground and in orbit — to this day.
After the shuttle Endeavour lifts off on its last flight later this month, there will be only one shuttle flight left.
Even though Congress has yet to fund the mission, NASA is planning an August launch for the shuttle Atlantis. And that will be it.
American astronauts, and those from countries around the world, will then be dependent on the Russians for trips to and from the International Space Station.
At least until an alternative — whether a commercially developed space vehicle, or something else — emerges, the nearly half-century-old name "Soyuz" will remain connected with modern manned spaceflight.
Americans have been riding the Soyuz back and forth to the space station with greater frequency in recent years than is widely recognized.
And with the exception of some early improvements and many newer modifications, it is the same basic design that came into use later in the same decade Gagarin flew his Vostok capsule into history.

MAYS LANDING, N.J. — Robert O. Marshall told his mistress that he wanted to "get rid of" his wife, Maria, and that her death would provide him with enough insurance money to get out of debt, the former mistress testified yesterday.
"He made reference to the fact that if she was not around, the insurance money would definitely take care of the debts," said Sarann Kraushaar, who admitted to having had a 14-month affair with Marshall.
At another point, Kraushaar testified, Marshall told her, "I swear if there was a way that I could either do away with or get rid of her, I would." Then, Kraushaar said, Marshall asked her if she knew anyone who did that kind of thing.

Detect Stealthy Attacks
While defenders focus on advanced malware, attackers are using stolen credentials to impersonate regular users and laterally move across the network. 90% of organizations are worried about attacks using compromised credentials, but only 40% can detect these attacks today. On top of that, security professionals are buried under hundreds of false–positive alerts, often generated by siloed point solutions. Instead of focusing on the perimeter, we need to be able to detect active attacks across endpoints, cloud services, and mobile devices.
With InsightUBA, you'll confidently detect security incidents earlier in the attack chain, before attackers cause damage. You'll be able to focus on what matters because you won't be buried under a mountain of false–positive alerts. Through User Behavior Analytics, InsightUBA correlates user behavior across your entire ecosystem so intruders have nowhere to hide. Best of all: By leveraging our knowledge of attacker behavior through our pre-packaged analytics, you'll no longer have to write, test, and maintain rules to detect attacks.

Tropical Storm Flossie approaching Big Isle
The Hawaiian Islands are being advised to monitor Tropical Storm Flossie through the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla.
The center's current five-day probable path of the storm shows it reaching the Big Island at 5 a.m. Tuesday.

A lot of hard work has gone into this: the album is recorded, mixed and mastered ENTIRELY by the band.

The drums were recorded in February at CB studios in Denmark - needless to say Morten did an amazing job recording the drums! Expect nothing but over-the-top drumming! We still need to record a lot of guitar stuff but plan to get all guitars, solos and bass done by mid-August."

Diskreet Discusses New Album
Topeka, Kansas death metal act Diskreet have issued a statement in regards to their new album, titled "Engage the Mechanicality". The album is due for release later in the year through Siege of Amida and Candlelight Records.
The band commented by saying:
"There are many things that could be said by us from everything that's gone on since we started writing this record, but there's only one thing that really matters to mention: that being that our upcoming full-length, 'Engage the Mechanicality' has been completed, and fully mixed and mastered. Thanks to the genius of Dave Otero, this thing has turned out greater than we ever thought possible. To call the time line to completion a 'process' is a vast understatement.
Siege of Amida has received the masters, and we'll have release dates, artwork, new tracks, new design layout and tour dates for you in the near future. Thanks for sticking around with us for this long and being patient, we appreciate all of the support!"

Ozzy Discusses Black Sabbath, Dio Memorial Protest
Ozzy Osbourne appeared on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn Monday night. During the appearance Ozzy shed light on the nature of his current relationship with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, following a recently settled lawsuit over the use of the Black Sabbath name.
In response to a callers question, Osbourne revealed the last time he spoke to Iommi. Osbourne said " I spoke to Mr. Iommi just the day after Ronnie James Dio's funeral." Osbourne went on to say "I'm going to England tomorrow and I hope to meet up with him and have a chat with him about old times."
Ozzy also blasted the Westboro Baptist church's protest of Ronnie James Dio's Funeral. "I thought it was in such bad taste that those people had those banners about Ronnie James Dio. That's disgusting. They say that we're the anti-christ, well what makes them any better?"
A clip of the the discussion can be heard below:
Mercenary Posts Studio Footage

Papa Roach Angered By Greatest-Hits Album
A Papa Roach greatest-hits album is hitting the stores in a few days. But the band is telling fans not to buy it.
Papa Roach posted a statement on its official website June 24 that its former record label, Interscope/Geffen, is releasing "To Be Loved: Best of Papa Roach" without its consent. The quartet is particularly incensed that the album's June 29 release date coincides with the act touring in support of its new album, "Time for Annihilation," which is arriving Aug. 31 through its current label, Eleven Seven Music.
"Since our fans have always stood behind us, we want to let you in on a little behind the scenes bullshit going on with our ex record label," the band writes, claiming that it has made the label a lot of money only to be rewarded with "all the bullshit broken promises that they have fed us time and time again." However, the members make clear that their anger isn't directed "at the staff of people that busted their ass for Papa Roach at that label for years on a ground level . . . It is directed towards the people at the top who make the decisions."
Papa Roach wraps up its current U.S. tour July 1. It then heads to Europe to perform a slate of festival dates through Aug. 15.

Skeletonwitch Comments On Upcoming Shows
Athens, Ohio's blackened thrash warlords Skeletonwitch will start July by doing some of their own shows en route to Vancouver, BC, where they'll meet up with High On Fire for a cross Canadian trek. The tour will culminate with the band appearing at the Heavy MTL festival in Montreal, along with Slayer, Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Mastodon, and more. The band will then head out with Ozzfest where they'll be appearing on the second stage along with former tour partners Goatwhore and Saviious, and other acts.
Guitarist Scott Hedrick commented on the band's plans; "Just when you thought Skeletonwitch couldn't get any heavier we're going to eat a metric ton of bread, cheese, and beer in Europe! Fuck yes! We're heading across the pond w/ Warbringer and are being joined by Angelus Apatrida. It'll be a true 'European Bangover.' Of course, that is directly following the juggernaut of American heavy music festivals, Ozzfest, which we are proud to be a part of. The opportunity to play alongside greats such as Ozzy and Rob Halford is a bit of a mindfuck for us. It's going to be a blast.
"Since I seem to be working in reverse.......We're kicking off our summer touring in July with High on Fire, Russian Circles, and Priestess in Canada. It's going to be a lot of metal, a lot of traveling, and a lot of drinking, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Black t-shirt, white van. Heavy metal on the road. Thanks to everyone for the support! Come out and see us. We'll party!" More...

Benjamin Woods Comments On Flametal Album
Benjamin Woods' band Flametal will release the album "Heavy Mellow" on July 6th via Flametal Records. "This is a Flamenco Guitar tribute album to some of the great Metal masterpieces," says Woods. "It is definitely a different album from the other Flametal releases and is more of a solo effort that is a very powerful to play live. Although the songs are very dark, everyone gets it, even your Mom."
"I had to use all my Flamenco knowledge to play these metal favorites without losing the integrity so I picked great songs with great melodies. On some songs I sped up the tempo, dropped a verse or created a new solo version only slightly changing the arrangements," explains Woods. "The King Diamond song was a great challenge to put into the 12/8 time Flamenco rhythm of Bulerias, and the solo was definitely fun, but a bitch to learn on the Spanish guitar. The Megadeth tune was difficult to create melodies from Mustaine's vocal grunts and growls, but cool how it fit into the slithery rhythm of Tanguillos. I was very fortunate to have Steve Stevens do some nylon and electric guitar solos on my original tune 'Cursed.' It's a raw preview of what the next original Flametal album will be with many great guest artists featured."
You can check out Flametal tracks via the band's MySpace page.

August Burns Red Posts Second Tour Report
Pennsylvania's August Burns Red has checked in with the following second tour report from the band's shows in Japan:
"Saturday morning we got up around 9 AM and headed with Geess to the train station where we took the bullet train from Osaka to Tokyo. By car that is about a 9 hour drive, but it took us less than three hours by train. The bullet train ruled. It was whisper quiet, silky smooth, and fast as can be. I believe we were traveling at about 180 miles an hour.
"I had heard a lot about Tokyo and was really anxious to spend some time there. Tokyo has about 11 million people living there. Imagine NYC but in Japan. That's the best I can explain it. We took a subway from the train station to the Tokyo equivalent of Time Square. It was a complete zoo. People everywhere. There was even a protest going on with a guy on a podium yelling through a megaphone and people holding signs up everywhere. I loved it.
"That night we played a show that was not part of the Geki Rock Fes. The show was in a cool little spot in downtown Tokyo called Shibuya Cyclone. We played with a Japanese band called United. They're a thrash metal band who have put out 9 records since forming in 1990. Quite a career! It was an honor to play with and meet those guys. The show at Cyclone was one of the hottest shows in ABR history. I played the entire set barefoot with mesh shorts and no shirt. I seldom wear shorts and I never take off my shirt on stage. That's how hot it was. I almost felt bad for the crowd having to endure those conditions. We were later told that the club was approximately 110 degrees, and about 40 people over capacity, not to mention unbelievably humid. Like raining from the ceiling humid. More...

"Juxtaposing the dark ambiance of black metal with the gentle strains of neo-folk and muted tones of cold, dark rock, VINDENSANG have created something quite special and even more impossible to describe," states the press release.
The album's concept, as described by mainman J. Neblock is "a musical odyssey into the mind and body of the labyrinth traveler at the threshold of his or her own death; approaching the terminus- the point in both time and space at which one's energies are purged from the confines of the cage-like human body and released again back into the cosmos."
Three years in the making, "Terminus: Rebirth in Eight Parts…" was conceived, written, and recorded by J. Neblock at Woodland Studios, between September of 2005 and August of 2008, and was mixed by Neblock himself. The album was mastered by Glenn Barratt at MorningStar Studios, during September 2008, with additional help from Dave Gerhart.
Here's the "Terminus: Rebirth in Eight Parts…" tracklisting:
I: "Prologue: The Advent of Autumn / From Infinity" (4:57)

III: "Return My Flesh and Bones to the Earth" (8:34)
IV: "Ashes and Memories" (5:05)
V: "Dusk: Into the Glow of Nightfall" (11:59)

VII: "The Origin: The Point of Return" (10:47)
VIII: "Epilogue: At Winter's End / To Infinity" (8:48)

After 16 years of addiction to crack cocaine and 83 arrests, Tonier Cain knew there were two likely ends to her life — one in a prison cell, the other a premature death on the streets.
"Seven years ago I lived under a bridge, eating out of a trash can," she said. "Seven years ago they told me I was never going to amount to anything."
She had 66 convictions, mostly for possession of crack cocaine or drug paraphernalia, with the occasional prostitution charge when she tried to get money to buy drugs.
Now, she works with the Annapolis, Md., police — who used to arrest her — to help people living on the streets and educate policy makers and criminal justice workers about the effects of trauma.
Cain spoke at Muskegon Community College Friday morning as part of the Child Abuse Council of Muskegon County's "Saving Lives, Embracing Children" conference.
Cain's trauma started at age 9, when she was verbally and physically abused by her mother, and sexually abused by men her mother would "entertain." She started drinking later that same year.
"When my mother smacked me down it didn't hurt as much, and when the men would come it wasn't as painful or shameful," she said.
Cain often missed school while caring for her eight younger siblings during their mother's frequent absences. None of her teachers asked her why she missed school – an omission repeated again and again over the years.
Cain swallowed a bottle of pills in a suicide attempt at age 14, but was revived. Her mother convinced the doctors it was an accidental overdose, and she was sent to live with an aunt. Once again, no one asked her what had happened, she said.
She married an older man while underage to find a home. Soon, she was pregnant and her husband ordered her to leave school, beating her if the house wasn't clean enough when he got home, she said. She tried crack cocaine not long afterward, at age 19.
"I never had to feel anything again," she said.
She had four children over the course of her battle with addiction. All were taken by Social Services and adopted, and "rightfully so," she said.
The prison system became a kind of second home for the next 16 years, and she lived on the streets between sentences. She also checked herself in for mental treatment, but her trauma was never addressed, she said.
Being locked up and left alone frequently triggered her childhood fears of abandonment, and she reacted by fighting when someone came to bring her food or medication, leading to time in restraints and beginning the cycle again, she said.
"One of the worst things you can do with someone who was a victim of neglect and abandonment is to lock them up and walk away," she said.
It seemed like nothing would be different when she was arrested again in 2004, while pregnant with her fifth child. What changed her life, though, was the chance to participate in a treatment program for pregnant inmates that allowed them to stay with their children while recovering from their addictions.
For the first time, someone was listening when she talked about the pain from years of abuse and neglect. As she brought the trauma into the open, she began to heal and learn how to care for herself and her new daughter.
Now she owns a home, sends her daughter to private school and runs two companies. Still, she said she can't help wondering if the 16 years she lost could have been avoided if someone had recognized her pain when she was 9.
Abby Kolberg, who counsels adults with developmental disabilities for Community Mental Health of Muskegon County, said many of the people she encounters have trauma in their past.
"It was really eye-opening, how people didn't ask her what was going on, that nobody had reached out to her for such a long time," she said.

UNDP Launches Small Hydropower Project in Tajikistan
9 August 2012: The Energy and Environment Programme of the UN Development Program (UNDP) has launched the "Technology Transfer and Market Development for Small Hydropower in Tajikistan" project, which aims to accelerate small-scale hydropower (SHP) generation through capacity building, supportive legal and regulatory frameworks and sustainable delivery models.
This SHP project will also contribute to socio-economic development and climate change mitigation. Over its lifetime, the SHP plant will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 273 kilotons as well as approximately 819-4952 kilotons of indirect carbon dioxide emissions. UNDP and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) have provided US$ 3.13 million in support for the project, which is expected to run from March 2012 to December 2015. [Press Release]

The Premier League is most certainly a marathon and not a sprint. And within this marathon it will always throw up games like Wolves on Saturday gone.
It was a performance Ancelotti was unhappy with, and a performance that wasn't great all round. But it was three points, and realistically three deserved points.
Three points, also, that leaves Chelsea as the only team in the Premier League not to be joint on points!
What a way to silence the doubters. Eight days after dropping 3 points against Man City we are back in the swing of it and professionally picking up full honours against our London rivals Arsenal. After a raft of many positives to take against the Gooners, we shall start with my old adversary Mikel.

1927 to 1930s Babe Ruth Photograph Collection (5)
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $1,762.50
Collection of five-high quality Babe Ruth photos, three of which are beautifully matted and framed, capturing the fabled "Sultan of Swat" in a variety of poses both on and off the field. Three of the five original photos date from exactly 1927. 1) Crystal-clear photograph of Babe Ruth in a classic batting pose. The photo appears to date from the late 1920s and was most likely taken at the Yankees spring training facility. The photographer's name, "Thorne," is ink-stamped on the reverse. The ink stamp identifies Thorne as the team's official photographer and provides spaces for information to be filled in. The vintage pencil notations filled in list the team ("Yankees"), player ("Babe Ruth"), and position ("Outfielder"). 8 x 10 inches. The photo displays a few very tiny surface wrinkles and is in apparent Excellent condition. Matted and framed to total dimensions of 13.5 x 15.5 inches. A color copy of the photo's reverse is included for display purposes. 2) Circa 1927 Babe Ruth news photo. Ruth is pictured in pinstripes striking a batting pose. A vintage pencil notation on the reverse reads "The Ring" and a red stamping indicates that it came from "The Stanley Weston Collection." A vintage label reads "Babe Ruth - A typical pose," while a contemporary label dates the photo to 1927. 4.5 x 9 inches. Vg, with a few minor tears and creases. 3) Circa early 1930s George Burke photograph. Ruth is pictured in a batting pose wearing his Yankees road uniform. A few areas of the photo near Ruth's head evidence airbrushing. A George Burke credit stamp appears on the reverse. 8 x 10 inches. Ex-Mt, with adhesive residue on the reverse from having once been mounted. 4) Famous news photo of Ruth and Gehrig fishing on a boat in 1927. The vintage pencil notation on the reverse reads "Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, just back from a barnstorming tour of the U.S., shown with some of their catch during a fishing trip at Sheepshead Bay. Nov. 1927." Also appearing on the reverse are a cut magazine page picturing this very image, which is captioned "Ruth and Gehrig on fishing trip Nov. 10, 1927," and another cut newspaper article which reads "Mr. Babe Ruth scores a home run with the rod and reel. He shows you his first catch of the day. But if he tells you it was the largest of the day, you may say, 'Oh, yeah? Or even 'Baloney!' Because Pipgras hooked largest-2 1/2 pounds." 7 x 9 inches. Technically Vg, with a few light creases, but it presents as Ex. Matted and framed to total dimensions of 11.5 x 13 inches. A color copy of the photo's reverse is included for display purposes. 5) Photo of Ruth and Gehrig posing with the captain of the boat in 1927. This photo was taken on the same day as the previous photo, November 10, 1927, but appears to be a vintage second-generation print. An ink notation on the reverse identifies the captain as Gus Rau and it has been inscribed by Rau to a friend. According to our consignor, both this photo and the previously listed photo were originally obtained from a member of Gus Rau's family. The original photo appears to have had a horizontal tear, which can still be seen on this second-generation print. 7.75 x 9.75 inches. Ex-Mt. Matted and framed to total dimensions of 13 x 15 inches. A color copy of the photo's reverse is included for display purposes. Please Note: Due to the size and/or weight of this lot, shipping costs (depending on where it is sent and its method of shipping) may be substantial. Total: 5 photos. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,762.50

The following incidents were obtained from Goose Creek Police Department reports:
Shortly after 3 a.m. on Nov. 17 a Moncks Corner man was pulled over on North Goose Creek Boulevard for driving 92 mph in a 55 mph speed zone. The driver was weaving erratically. The officer noticed the driver had a strong odor of alcohol, his eyes were glassy and his speech was slurred. The driver said he had two alcoholic beverages and would be willing to take field sobriety tests. The driver failed three field tests and was placed under arrest. His vehicle was inventoried and three plastic baggies were found in the driver's side door compartment. The baggies contained what looked like marijuana. It was measured to be 44 grams. The driver registered with a .20 percent BAC after giving a breath sample. He was charged with DUI .16 or higher first offense and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
On Nov. 16 at about 5:20 p.m. a citizen reported a pickup truck with mud tires was driving recklessly and was all over the road. An officer in the area of St. James Avenue spotted the vehicle and saw the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. The vehicle stopped on Fairfax Boulevard. When the officer asked for proof of insurance and a driver's license the man handed over a large sum of money and his license. The officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The officer asked if the driver had anything to drink. The driver held up a 22-ounce bottle of beer and said he just opened it and was drinking it. His speech was slurred and his eyes were glassy. The subject failed three field sobriety tests. His breath sample indicated a .05 percent BAC. The officer asked that he be taken to a medical facility for a urine test to see if he was under the influence of other drugs. The subject refused, saying he takes Xanax and does not want that used against him in court. He was taken to the detention center and charged with open container and DUI .08 or less first offense.
On Nov. 15 at about 6:30 p.m. officers were called to a nail salon off College Park Road in regard to an assault and battery. The owner was performing a fingernail service for a regular customer and asked her to pay for the service prior to its completion. The customer said her money was in the car. The owner said this customer has always paid. The customer meandered near her vehicle and the owner suspected she was not going to pay. The owner attempted to use her cell phone to photograph the customer so she could be identified if she left without paying. The customer became angry and said she would not pay for the service. The owner moved closer to take a photo when the customer elbowed her in the face under the right eye. This caused swelling. The customer said she intended to pay but the owner performed extra nail services. She said she lifted her arm to push away the owner's cell phone when the owner's face ran into her elbow. Both parties calmed down and came to an agreement. The customer paid $25 and the owner completed the service. The owner did not wish to press charges for the assault.

Thank you for all your hard work to bring us Naruto! I for one will really miss your scanlations.
Thank you for all your hard work to bring us Naruto! I for one will really miss your scanlations.
But more to the point, that is totally irrelevant to the topic. Binktopia is dropping Naruto because our two cleaners for it (Blud and Kylara) both have issues to deal with in their personal lives and they feel like Naruto is conflicting with their best interests. It has nothing to do with translators.
♥ Ravona
Ever wonder why one of your particularly bad posts has been deleted? Feel free to contact me!
I wish we could find someone willing to clean/typeset i will pay the new cleaner/typesetter
nuu i luved ur releases :(
thx for ur hard work guyz T.T
"Hey thanks for emailing me. Why you dropping Fairy Tail again?????? It is one of the most awesome manga so please please keep doing it because I do now want to add other scans to my collection since it is not so good. If you need help I can help out with anything except I don't know how to do the manga typing and that kind of stuff. By the way, are you thinking about Code Breaker? If so, I can also maybe help with that too. Also, next time if you will drop the series don't email me. It is depressing news and I will rather just not know this time. Thank you."
your personal lifes far out way the desire of thousands wanting to read the translated stuff. i do hope everything works of for you guys with your future and everything.
This does suck but I understand how busy some people can get.
It's weird though. As the 50,000th member, I feel I should have been included in this decision. I've checked my emails and msn/aim and I haven't received a message from anyone regarding Naruto. To be honest, I'm feeling quite left out. :(
It aint exactly a decision us (readers) can make.

CAW Leader Sees No Progress in GM, Ford, Chrysler Talks
The Canadian Auto Workers hasn't made progress in labor negotiations with Chrysler Group LLC, General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. as current contracts near expiration, union President Ken Lewenza said.
"The reality is, all three companies from my perspective are overzealous," Lewenza said in a telephone interview. "All three companies have incredible demands on the table."
Lewenza contradicted comments earlier today by Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, who told reporters in Detroit he has seen "some progress" in the labor negotiations. Marchionne said the two sides still have a "long road to travel between now and conclusion."
The CAW represents more than 20,000 employees at the three automakers. The union's current contracts with the companies expire at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 17. The negotiations have been affected by the Canadian dollar, which has risen about 60 percent against the U.S. dollar in the past decade, making manufacturing more expensive in the country.
"I don't know where Mr. Marchionne got the impression of progress," Lewenza said in today's interview. "It's very, very tough sledding. I haven't seen much movement from the company at all."
Negotiations have intensified and some "senior executives from the three companies are now arriving in Toronto or are already participating in the discussions," according to an update to members issued today by the CAW. Lewenza and Peter Kennedy, the union's secretary-treasurer, confirmed in separate interviews that company executives are taking part in the talks.
No 'Target'
If the union can't reach "fair agreements before the deadline," it will stop work "as required" at any of the automakers, according to a union update.
GM is "optimistic that we can continue to work together to overcome challenges, find creative solutions and improve our competitive position," Adria MacKenzie, a spokeswoman for the company's Canadian unit, said in an e-mail. She deemed the talks "open and constructive."
Lauren More, a spokeswoman for Ford, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment today.
In a departure from previous negotiations, the CAW hasn't yet announced a so-called target company in its discussions. In the past, the union would concentrate its negotiating efforts on the target company and seek to extend terms of an agreement to the other automakers. This time, the CAW is negotiating simultaneously with all three carmakers.
"Initially, not one of the three was giving us any indication at all that we could get a deal done with them," Kennedy said by telephone. "The only way to force their hands is to say that potentially we'll all be on strike if we don't get a deal."
Picket Signs
Picket signs are being shipped to all GM, Ford and Chrysler local unions today in preparation for a strike should discussions fail, according to a CAW post on Twitter.
Demands by the carmakers, according to the CAW, include cuts in benefits, the elimination of an annual cost-of-living adjustment and the transfer of all workers to a defined-contribution retirement plan. GM, Ford and Chrysler are also refusing to commit to new Canadian factory investments, the CAW said in a Sept. 10 leaflet.
Kennedy said the union's latest proposal calls for a new salary scale and allows the companies to save on pension payments, while preserving annual cost-of-living adjustments. Under the current agreement, new employees start at 70 percent of the top wage and take six years to reach it.
"Under the system we proposed, the start point will be lower, and the goal posts will be further out," Kennedy said. "Our objective in these negotiations is to reward our members for the sacrifices they made which, in no small part, has resulted in the turnaround in the companies."
The CAW accepted a pay freeze and gave up bonuses and time off along with other concessions as part of the restructuring that brought GM and Chrysler out of bankruptcy in 2009.
