quote WWEGamesYES! "Exit themes" play at end of match. RT stephensonmc You've heard right -- WWE Superstar and Diva "Exit Themes" will be in #WWE '12!
quote team groin...that's really what tipped it for you? Come on, son. Plus, thanks to the new physics system last year, certain finishers are technically environmental already. With the right position, you can do something sick like F-U your opponent onto the steel steps or Batista Bomb on a chair and whatever more.Pfft, screw not having a restriction on the weight system thingy I want it to be as realistic as possible. Also BOOOOO that they are no environmental finishers either. I guess I'm not gonna be picking up this game after all.
quoteAh, was hoping for the two sets of announce teams. Would have been odd having Booker, maybe, as a playable and on the announce table too, haha. Michael Cole should be hilarious on commentary if they've given him some heelish line. Will be pretty gutted if it's just the generic stuff from last years game again.Q: Will there be a Commentary team for Smackdown this year? Cole, Mathews, Booker T?
A: The commentary team for WWE '12 is Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Q: Will there be new arenas in WWE '12?
A: Yes, there will be new arenas in WWE '12. Not only we will obviously update many of the arenas to match the WWE's PPV schedule, but we are also introducing some new, never before seen arenas that will be unlockable in Road To WrestleMania.
quoteThis would be great.Q: Can the RKO be hit from any position, countering a diving moves, etc a la WWE All Stars?
A: This is a very cool, entertaining, and exciting part of WWE All-Stars. So much so, that the team is investigating the possibility of having this functionality in the future. So, unfortunately this is not possible in WWE '12, but we are excited about the possibility of adding this type of functionality in future WWE games.

In areas where the air temperature remains below 0°C for prolonged periods of time, the freezing of water in underground pipes is a major concern. Fortunately, the soil remains relatively warm during those periods, and it takes weeks for the subfreezing temperatures to reach the water mains in the ground. Thus, the soil effectively serves as an insulation to protect the water from the freezing atmospheric temperatures in winter.
The ground at a particular location is covered with snow pack at −8°C for a continuous period of 60 days, and the average soil properties at that location are k = 0.35 W/m·K and α = 0.15 × 10–6 m2/s. Assuming an initial uniform temperature of 8°C for the ground, determine the minimum burial depth to prevent the water pipes from freezing.

Sen. Patrick J. Leahy
Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to Col. Brian Dubie, a fifth-generation Vermonter who is retiring on June 2 after a long and distinguished career in the Vermont Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. Brian served as Vermont's 78th Lieutenant Governor and has devoted his life to serving his State and his country.
Upon graduating high school in Essex Junction, Brian enrolled in the U.S. Air Force Academy. Even though the flight he took to Colorado was his first time on an airplane, Brian already knew that he loved aviation. Growing up, his father an officer in the Vermont Guard would bring the family to watch the planes take off and land from Burlington. Those excursions made vivid and lasting impressions on young Brian.
When he returned home to attend the University of Vermont, Brian joined the Vermont Air National Guard and flew F 4s and then F 16s, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. In 1998, he joined the U.S. Air Force Reserve where he now holds the rank of colonel and serves as an emergency preparedness liaison officer.
Brian's service has touched thousands of Americans outside of Vermont. Following the September 11 attacks, Brian procured and coordinated the distribution of badly needed cell phones and radios for emergency responders at Ground Zero. For his actions he was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal. When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast in 2005, Brian mobilized and ensured that civilian responders had the support they needed. For his achievements at the Hurricane Operations Center, he earned another Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Admirable as they are, Brian's achievements are not surprising considering his roots in a family who values service and duty to country. His mother Janice worked as an operating room nurse at what was then the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont. His father Clem was a colonel in the Vermont Guard where he served full-time as a personnel officer. His brother Michael is the adjutant general of Vermont.
Brian is also a tireless promoter of the Vermont business community. He was the motivational force behind the Vermont Aerospace and Aviation Association. He also served as the unofficial Vermont ``ambassador'' to Quebec a position he took on with such fervor that some Quebec officials called him Mr. Ambassador.
I am proud of all that Brian has accomplished for Vermont and our country. While he may be retiring from the Air Force, I know that his service to both State and Nation is far from over. I wish him, his wife Penny, and his family all the best.

Boy hopes service dog will help him gain independenceUPDATED 7:10 AM CDT May 22, 2014
An 11-year-old boy from Pella hopes a service dog will help him gain his independence.Video Transcript
A dog is man's best friend, but one Pella boy is hoping his dog will be much more than that. KCCI's Laura Nichols has his story. At just 11 years old ...Nick Showman has to deal with something most kids don't. IT'S A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE SO OVER TIME HE STARTED TO LOSE MOBILITY. Muscular dystrophy is slowing weakening Nick's muscles -- he's now at the point where it's hard to even stand. A LOT OF TIMES BOYS WITH MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AS THEY START MIGRATING THAT WAY INTO A WHEELCHAIR THEY CAN BECOME DEPRESSED AND FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SO DEPENDENT ON OTHERS. I JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. I JUST KIND OF MOVE ON. Recently Nick's doctor suggested he look into getting a service dog -- and that's when he traveled to Illinois and met Seren. The two had an instant connection. SHE WAS KIND OF APPROACHING ME MORE, AND SHE WAS KIND OF LOOKING AT ME SO I THINK IT WAS KIND OF THE BEST CHOICE. Seren will be trained to cater specifically to Nick's needs -- like picking things up so he won't be so dependent on his parents help. HE CAN GAIN SOME OF THAT INDEPENDENCE BACK, AND HAVE A PARTNER THAT WILL HELP HIM. But getting Seren here won't be easy -- the family is required to raise 10-thousand of the 30-thousand dollars it costs to get and train one of these furry friends. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS DOG WILL DO FOR NICK AND HOW THIS DOG WILL BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. Luckily the people in Pella have rallied around the family -- it looks like Nick will be getting his buddy after all -- something that has this silly 11 year old so excited he can't help but crack those jokes. MAYBE I WILL HAVE THE EXCUSE OF THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK. The family is only 38-hundred dollars short of bringing Seren home ... Thanks to the generosity of people in the Pella community.

I want to unit test some existing software which makes calls to
I want to test the software under Windows and I would ideally like to
replace any and all VxWorks calls (get/send message, spawn/kill task,
etc) by stubs. That would allow me to easily test how the software
behaves when these functions return an error.
I don't want to use Tornado for this either.
Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Just a collection of C
functions with the same parameters as the VxWorks functions (or at
least the most commonly used - I can addd more if needed)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Korean Women Say Birth Control is 'Men's Responsibility'
Birth control has become an important issue for woman's rights as well as the environment. However, a survey of South Korean women age 19-34 found 45% believe contraception should be a man's responsibility.
The survey, by the Study Group for Contraception, shows that most women are doing little or nothing to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Of the 1000 women who participated in the survey, one in five said she relied on coitus interruptus or timing pregnancy cycles as a form of birth control. Both methods have high failure rates of around 25%.
What's more, abortion is illegal in South Korea, except under extenuating circumstances. The result is an almost entirely first-world country where each year hundreds of thousands of women practice illegal abortions at "don't ask don't tell" clinics.
In 2005, the government admitted that more than 340,000 illegal abortions had been carried out, while the number of child births for that year was around 476,000. These numbers suggest that one out of every 32 fertile women in South Korea is forced into having an illegal abortion.
Only 4.8% in the survey felt birth control was a woman's responsibility.
However, not surprisingly, women may not be to blame for their lack of involvement in reproductive rights. The attitude can also be seen as a carry-over from the country's male-dominated Confucian culture, which exerts significant control over female sexuality. While Korean men are generally expected to gain sexual experience before marriage, women are simply expected to practice abstinence until marriage. Those who don't have little chance to talk openly about sex.
The "don't ask don't tell" policy of abortion clinics reflects a general attitude that shuns sexually active women. At the same time, this "open secrecy" enables a greater number of illicit sexual encounters for men. Just as illegal abortion clinics operate in the open, illegal brothels are also easily recognized by red lights, tinted windows, and sometimes even buskers.
Women in the Western culture may see this as an unfair double standard. One foreign woman I talked with told me that when she tried to gain access to birth control pills, which are available without prescription at the pharmacy, she was told, "only certain kinds of women take those pills." Attitudes like these are changing, especially in metropolitan areas, but in South Korea they are still the norm.
To support or learn more about women's reproductive rights, visit organizations like Ipas or Family Care International.

Kaija Saariaho's "La Passion de Simone". When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Sunday. Where: Rose Theater, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Manhattan (Broadway at 60th Street). Howmuch: $40-$90; visit lincolncenter.org or call (212) 721-6500.
NEW YORK -- As its name implies, Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival isn't tied to the 18th century. The programs often juxtapose Mozart with the modernist.
This summer, the festival's composer-in-residence is Kaija Saariaho; the Finnish-born Parisian's features include the U.S. premiere of her "La Passion de Simone."
The final panel in a theatrical trilogy revolving around love and politics, Saariaho's piece debuted two years ago in Vienna at Peter Sellars' New Crown Hope Festival, an event that paid homage to Mozart through new works. "La Passion de Simone" is, like one of Mozart's most famous creations, a requiem; or, rather, it is a memorial, a dramatic "meditation" on French philosopher and social activist Simone Weil (1909-43).
Weil walked her talk to an extraordinary degree. She didn't just lament the dehumanizing aspects of industrial society; she earned her empathy by working in a harsh factory. But she went far beyond empathic activism, embracing a mystic martyrdom influenced by Catholicism (although she was Jewish). Unable to join the French Resistance, Weil demonstrated solidarity with those suffering under Nazi occupation by starving herself to death.
Weil's Christ-emulating self-sacrifice can leave one ambivalent, even repelled. One could view the giving up of one's life when others are threatened as the most impressive philosophical statement. But just as easily, one can see giving up one's life as an insult to those who are doing everything they can to save theirs.
To their credit, Saariaho and her co-creators for this "Passion" (and the rest of her trilogy) -- librettist Amin Maalouf and dramaturg Sellars -- don't shy away from Weil's problems. The text points out that, unlike Hitler's victims, she chose to bear her cross, and that she had a blind eye to the pain she caused those closest to her. Yet it's an admiration for, as Sellars and Saariaho put it, Weil's "embodied commitment" and "independence" that drives the piece.
Saariaho, 55, comes from the same Finnish generation that produced composer Magnus Lindberg and conductor-composer Esa-Pekka Salonen (a frequent champion of hers). But she is, stylistically, a French composer, inspired by the phrasing of Debussy's "Pelleas et Melisande" and colors of Messiaen's "Saint-Francois d'Assise." The first installment of her stage trilogy was 2000's cross-cultural romance "L'Amour de Loin," a ravishing landmark in 21st-century opera. The second, "Adriana Mater," was just produced at Santa Fe Opera.
The emotional engine of "Simone" is soprano Dawn Upshaw, long a muse for Saariaho as she has been for Osvaldo Golijov and others. The score's lone solo singer, Upshaw voices a grieving sister's commentary on Weil's life and work, reacting physically with the Eastern-influenced gestures familiar from Sellars' dramatization of Bach cantatas. An actress, in a disembodied recording, intones quotes from Weil. Upshaw only interacts with a male dancer, who entwines around her, as close as a conscience.
Made up to look as haggard as possible in a burlap dress, Upshaw gave a characteristically fearless, powerful performance Wednesday for a packed house in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater. Her silvery tone and vulnerable open-heartedness are ideal, and she sings with intense beauty whether draped by the dancer or lying flat on her back. One rapt episode features her accompanied only by a lyrically serpentine oboe. But much of the score is full of stabbing, sepulchral sounds.
Finn Susanna Mälkki leads England's City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the London Voices choir with acute elegance.
Yet for all the sincerity and skill that has gone into it, "Simone" is hard to enjoy; the inevitable veneration of Weil's "thirst for sacrifice" is maddening, the 90 minutes seeming like more.
At the end, the libretto quotes Weil's line: "Nothing that exists is absolutely worthy of love, so we must love that which does not exist." It's enough to make you want to run from the theater and hug the nearest child.

Stuart Gardiner truly found his stride when he became an independent graphic designer. After years of pleasing clients in the music industry, going solo has "been a very liberating experience," he says. "Now I get to design my own products just as I want them." It's a benefit for all of us.
The London-based artist, who studied graphic information design, injects his unique sense of humor into his towels-slash-conversation pieces, offering an elucidative take on beloved foods and beverages. "I design visually as I think, working with color, type, image, and form until I'm happy with the final design—or tired of looking at it, and need to move on," he jokes.

We congratulate Chan and colleagues1 on their article, "Rapid Response Teams: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis." Their report nicely summarizes and analyses a number of primary reports in the field.
The study by Chan and colleagues1 has shown us that rapid response systems (RRSs) have reduced the rates of such a serious and catastrophic event as cardiac arrests. This is especially noteworthy because outcomes from cardiac arrests have remained unchanged for almost 50 years.2 Their meta-analysis has demonstrated a reduction in cardiac arrest rates of approximately one-third in both children's and adult hospitals. This clear reduction is beyond that of any other intervention to date.

Review: Affluence Intelligence
|Email Print
In the world of personal finance books, there are basically two types. The first type outlines exactly what you should do, explains why, and includes worksheets to help you get your financial life in order. The second type is a little "softer" and it discusses the mental and psychological aspects of you, your relationship with money, and helps to get your mind right when it comes to money. I think both are important. It's not much different than the difference between going to a mechanic to get your engine tuned up and going to a defensive driving instructor so you are a safer driver.
Affluence Intelligence by Stephen Golbart, PHD, and Joan Indursky Difuria, MFT is that second type of book written with the approach of the first. It's designed to help reshape your mind when it comes to money but it does it in a step by step manner that is easy to follow. The book may sound like it's tackling a "soft" subject but it does it in a very structured and analytic way, which I find is rare in books in that second category.
One of the first things I do when I get a non-fiction book, regardless of the topic, is check out the background of the author or authors. I like reading the opinions of authors with a perspective I don't share and in this regard the two authors certainly deliver. Both authors are psychologists and have worked with patients with psychological issues. Joan Difuria worked for a program that helped people with schizophrenia and manic depression. Stephen Goldbart codirected a public health program for "severely disturbed adults." They have hands on experience with people who have trouble with reality. I was eager to read about their experience and guidance for folks who just have a little trouble with money (when you think about it, money is a by-product of our actions and if you can get your mind right with respect to the world, it's more likely that you'll be successful financially in that world).
What is affluence intelligence? The authors begin by defining what they call affluence, which is different than wealth. Affluence is about finding balance and happiness in your life, which doesn't necessarily come with a lot of money. As I wrote about once in how someone could be unhappy with $1,000,000 and Notorious BIG immortalized in music, more money doesn't necessarily mean a happier life. Affluence is more than that. Affluence is about finding happiness in your life (there are seven key areas) and making it so that you can achieve that level of happiness by way of improving and outlining four key areas – priorities, behaviors, attitudes, and financial effectiveness.
The book is full of anecdotes about their clients and the majority of them involve folks who are doing well financially but doing poorly in their life. They're making money, more money than the average family, but they're stressed because they're either living beyond their means or unfulfilled at work or simply stressed about their job. It's stunning how common their stories seem once you read them over and over again. I can see how a program like this could be extremely helpful in getting them back on the track.{ 0 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Vietnamese woman charged over €1m seizure of cannabis
A Vietnamese woman charged over a seizure of almost €1 million worth of cannabis at a suspected grow-house in Dublin may have been trafficked to Ireland, a court has been told.
Cannabis believed to be valued at €980,000 was found at a premises on the Lagan Road in the Dublin Industrial Estate on the city's northside. Thi Pham (52), who has no fixed address, was provided with a translator when questioned.
She was charged early yesterday and later she was before Dublin District Court charged with unlawful possession of cannabis and having it for the purposes of sale or supply on November 20th.
Legal aid was granted, and defence solicitor Caitríona Keane said Thi Pham was consenting to be remanded in custody, saying she "is of no means; she found herself in this jurisdiction, maybe not of her own volition".

When clinicians treat a parent for depression, they may not realize they have an opportunity to help prevent the development of mental health problems in that person's children. But a growing body of evidence suggests that such an opportunity indeed exists.
A new set of recommendations aims to educate clinicians about evidence-based mental health prevention interventions targeting children and adolescents (Beardslee WR et al. Psychiatric Serv. 2011;62[3]:247-254). It also provides practical tips on how clinicians can implement these interventions in their practice or in their community.

By advocating more positive parenting practices among patients who have children, clinicians can help to prevent the development of mental illness among children.

My son-in-law has a Hi-Point 45 and he just bought a holster to fix a standard size 1911 pistol. It was a little snug at first but after it stretched a bit it fits just fine. There is nothing wrong with Hi-Point pistols or carbines. They are very reliable and accurate. My son-in-laws .45 shoots great!
October 31, 2011, 08:59 PM
Okay gentlemen, the man asked a valid and honest question here. I don't think it's fair to berate his choice of handgun.
October 31, 2011, 09:44 PM

I played around with mine to see if it was even possible. The safety was knocked into the fire position every time I checked it. I abandoned that idea. Works as a truck gun though

You folks that carry HP's, do you carry them chamber loaded?
November 1, 2011, 09:53 AM
Points.... Giggles... And not because I have a problem with highpoint, but Its hard for me to call a gun ugly but they certainly are.
Now to actually contribute to your ketchun. I carry my HP 40 (Pretty sure its the same size as the .45) in a Uncle Mikes Sidekick size 5 when I take it to the range. Works pretty well.
November 1, 2011, 05:13 PM
Well, at least with that massive slide, getting a grip in a panic situation would be easier if you ride with the pipe clear...;)
Happy to defend them, they aren't Jiminez. their warranty seems to be one of the better ones for what it's worth.
Wouldn't choose to die at the teeth of a pack of ravenous hyena-chihuahua hybrids rather than defend myself with a Hi-point.
My old man refuses to test their warranty on his 9mm Carbine with the over-stressed frame, he likes the old style and is afraid they'll just send him a brand new one!! :D Still an impressive little shooter, nothing like the handguns.

Some of the bigger HK pistols might be similarly sized. Maybe a holster made for one of them might fit?
November 1, 2011, 11:40 PM
Fobus makes a holster listed to specifically fit the HP .45. They're not my first choice in kydex holsters (honestly if you can find one for your gun even the Uncle Mike's are better IMHO and they're a bit cheaper), but I have had a few of them and they do work alright. Given the limited holster choices for Hi Points that might be your best option.
November 2, 2011, 12:36 AM
Call beemiller and tell Them what you have and want. They still have the old stocks.
November 2, 2011, 05:22 AM
I use a holster for a H&K USP and it fits nicely. I carry mine safety off, chamber empty.

November 2, 2011, 01:19 PM
Fobus is not kydex!!
November 2, 2011, 03:11 PM
I've OCd mine in a blackhawk #5 nylon el-cheapo from walmart. It was a bit snug at first, but it fits okay now. Don't carry it much anymore, prefer the S&W 469.
Never had any issues with the safety getting jostled.
I don't carry one in the chamber with the Hi Point, but I don't see why I couldn't, but I do with the Smith.
November 2, 2011, 07:06 PM
a friend of mine carries one in a Fobus holster; i believe they make a holster sepcifically for the .45ACP Hi Point.
November 2, 2011, 07:42 PM
I'd use an old fashioned holster with a big leather flap over the top so you can't see how ugly the pistol is!! Just some good natured teasing there. Beauty is as beauty does and I hear a lot of good things about the functionality of Hi-Points.
Best of Luck and I'm certainly enjoying my Hi-Point Carbine and my Bersa handguns so no Top Shelf Liquor for me!

Given my belief concerning the general public's lack of gun knowledge, I'd think the "intimidation factor" for a HP in open carry would be quite high. Something similar to Han Solo's blaster or my Ruger SRH in open carry. If you're going to carry exposed ... may as well be big a one.
August 29, 2013, 06:56 AM
They are a bit big for EDC, but the ones I shot were

The Unlikely Way I'm Bonding with My Tween SonLori Garcia
You guys, I'm struggling with the tweenage years already. Boy Wonder is only 10 years old and I feel like we have less in common than ever.
This kid has always been the yin to my yang, the macaroni to my cheese, the chow-chow to my beans and now, well, we're just two people struggling to relate to each other the best way we know how. I suppose I always knew growing up would cause a divide between us, I just didn't think it would happen this soon or make me feel this sucky.
As my boy continues to grow and occupy himself with new and creative ways to define laziness, I find myself scrambling for ways to bond with my awesome kid.
It all seemed so hopeless and impossible until it came along. It being the Mount Pinatubo of all pimples that suddenly erupted on Boy Wonder's face.
It was gross, y'all. Like OMG, are you growing another nose on the side of your face? gross. I wasn't even sure it was human or whether or not he needed urgent medical attention, but there it was, his first absolutely epic pimple.
As a puberty survivor you already know that Herculean pimples hurt like a mother, so in typical budding man fashion, he whined and became completely debilitated by said zit.
First there was picking (by him, not me), followed by bleeding, bandages, and finally, bonding. Yes, bonding. Bonding over the emotional and physical pain of a blob-goblin partying atop his beautiful face.
We talked pimple prevention, treatment, and of course, the Holy Grail of all things – beauty products. OK, so we didn't braid each other's hair or share our deepest darkest secrets but we put on face masks. My tween and I. Together. And it ruled. And I felt connected. And I think he did too.
Friends, it takes so little for moms, particularly moms of boys, to feel connected. As our boys grow, our moments of real connection become not only fewer, but about a billion times more precious.
Bonding over a zit? I'll take it. Along with the next weird and beautiful moment we share because I'm ready, willing, and most of all, wanting to capture every last one.
Do you have an unlikely tale of bonding with your tween? Celebrate it in the comments below!

Learning karate at age 16, plus swimming, basketball, jogging and working out at the gym, have kept Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino looking buff. But the Jersey Shore star also thanks his parents for his great abs.
"I have always had an unbelievable six-pack," The Situation, 28, tells PEOPLE. "It's genetic. I am gifted that way. My dad was a Golden Gloves boxer and my mom has a small waist."
The reality star has always been thin and athletic but in high school started to notice. "I would show up at school and at parties and would look at me and yell, 'Oh my God! Your abs are amazing,' " he says. "They called me 'Mikey Abs.'"
By the time he was 18, he began pulling up his shirt to show off his six-pack and he enjoyed the response he got from . "I soon learned how to flex my stomach in various ways," he says. "I found a technique where I would suck in my stomach and not push out. I can flex all day long."
Now, The Situation is flattered – but not humbled – by all the attention he's getting since Jersey Shore, which begins its second season Thursday, first aired. "People have a fixation with me ... I am blessed with international popularity," he says. "I kiss 's cheeks, sign autographs and give advice to young kids."
So how does he maintain his fit physique? "I eat clean – chicken, fish, steak, no sugar, no sauces, no Diet Coke," he tells PEOPLE. "I drink plenty of water. I believe in the old saying, 'No pain, no gain.' "
And as for putting the "G" in "GTL," he works out five days a week, doing of 30 to 40 minutes of cardio, whether it's running, elliptical training or working on the StairMaster. Abs, he says, should be worked every other day.
"I have no fears about the future," he says of one day growing old. "I will stay physical because that is the key to success. When your body and mind are in sync, all else follows." --Linda Marx

As my term as Mayor of Salem comes to an end, I would like to thank the citizens providing me the opportunity to serve as your mayor the past four years. It has been a personal honor and a humbling experience.
In order to achieve any success in an elected office, one must have a great support team to help see that efforts put forth for the city's good are accomplished. Over the past four years, I have been fortunate to have members of commissions, committees and employees in Salem government help in these efforts, along with state, county, and city elected officials. Rather than forgetting someone, let me say, "thank you to all who helped in a positive way."
On a personal note, I want to thank Steve Andres for being the best Service Director any Mayor could possibly have. Steve was not only my closest advisor at City Hall, but he set the standard for what his job position is about, service. On behalf of myself and the city, thank you Steve, for your untiring service to myself and Salem for the past four years. You can be proud of your service record and accomplishments for Salem during a very bad economy.
I would also like to commend the editorial staff and reporters of the Salem News and the Morning Journal for their professional and objective news reporting. They have been very fair to me and my administration. Thank you for communicating to the public in an un-biased manner.
In closing, I heard the other day that the mark of success is whether you leave your job or community in better shape than it was when you started. I believe that the record shows that we achieved that goal, thanks to all of you "making a difference."

What new habits are you establishing in your diet or exercise routines?
Have you established any new habits yet this year? If you started on January 1st, you're hopefully well on your way by now.
Dieting and exercise are much easier when they're a natural part of life. My boyfriend's been making a real effort to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day, this year: he's mentioned how snacking on fruit has simply become "a habit" now. At dinner time in the evenings, he'll put some thought into including enough vegetables to meet his daily target.
A couple of years ago, I got used to drinking six-to-eight glasses of water a day. I notice now that I'm naturally thirstier than I used to be: partly because I do more exercise, but partly because I've trained my body and mind to want more water. I tend to carry a bottle around with me when I'm out, and always have a glass of water on the go at work.
If you've not set up any good habits yet, you might want to look on Diet Blog at my recent guest post Ways to eat more healthily at work for ideas of habits you might like to try!

Asian GPs, Are You Breaking The Rules?
Fundraising – a word that usually makes general partners break into a sweat, as thoughts of long days, weeks, if not months of travel courting investors across the world, creep up. But, Asian fund managers should also be adding one more thing to their check list: the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Well known among European general partners, but less so among Asian ones, the AIFMD was introduced by the European Commission to help protect investors when choosing a fund. There is a long and differing list of things general partners must do to comply with the AIFMD in various European countries when seeking investment from European investors.
For instance, in the U.K., a private equity firm would be required to hold an authorized "marketing passport" before embarking on actively marketing a new fund, or conduct business via a private placement.
If general partners fail to comply with the AIFMD, it could be considered a criminal offense, and limited partners would be well within their rights to revoke their investment, said a Hong Kong-based private equity attorney.
Some Asian managers are finding ways to circumvent the AIFMD to attract European capital.

USGA Receives Record Number of U.S. Open Entries
The United States Golf Association (USGA) has accepted a record number of entries for the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club's Course No. 2 in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C.
The total of 10,127 entrants eclipses the 9,860 for last year's championship at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa. Among the record total are 51 players, including 12 past champions, who are currently fully exempt into the field (see list below).
"The number of entries, from across the world, affirms both the great appeal of playing in our national championship and the history surrounding Pinehurst No. 2," said Daniel B. Burton, USGA vice president and chairman of the Championship Committee. "We look forward to local and sectional qualifying and to conducting the unprecedented U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open in consecutive weeks at this renowned Donald Ross-designed course in June."
The U.S. Open will be held for the third time at Pinehurst No. 2 on June 12-15. To be eligible, a player must have a Handicap Index® not exceeding 1.4, or be a professional. Local qualifying will be played over 18 holes at 111 sites in the U.S. May 2-19.
Sectional qualifying, played over 36 holes, will be conducted on Monday, May 26 at two international sites (Japan and England) and on Monday, June 2, at 10 sites in the United States, ranging from New York to California. This will be the 10th year with two international qualifiers, which were established in 2005, the last time the U.S. Open was contested at Pinehurst No. 2.
Justin Rose, the 2013 champion, and 11 other champions are fully exempt from having to qualify for the championship. The other automatic qualifiers are Angel Cabrera (2007), Michael Campbell (2005), Ernie Els (1994, 1997), Jim Furyk (2003), Lucas Glover (2009), Retief Goosen (2001, '04), Graeme McDowell (2010), Rory McIlroy (2011), Geoff Ogilvy (2006), Webb Simpson (2012) and Tiger Woods (2000, '02, '08).
The USGA accepted entries for the 114th U.S. Open from golfers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 75 foreign countries. For the fourth consecutive year, only online entries were accepted. The USGA received 580 entries on the last day applications were accepted (April 23), including 115 applications in the final hour.
Travis Wells, who will be 15 years old on May 1 and is from Land O'Lakes, Fla., submitted his entry just 26 seconds before the deadline of 5 p.m. EDT. Jeff Lai, a 34-year-old amateur from Los Altos, Calif., was the first entrant when registration opened on March 5.
The number of fully exempt players will increase with the inclusion of the top-60 point leaders and ties from the Official World Golf Ranking, as of May 26 and June 9. The winners of the Players Championship (May 8-11) and European Tour BMW PGA Championship (May 22-25) will also earn exemptions.
This year marks the sixth time that the USGA accepted more than 9,000 entries for the U.S. Open. The first time was in 2005, when 9,048 entries were accepted for the championship at Pinehurst. A total of 9,086 golfers entered the 2009 championship at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y. In 2010, 9,052 golfers entered the championship at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links. In 2012, the USGA accepted 9,006 entries for the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, and the total of 9,860 for the 2013 championship at Merion broke the record from 2009 at Bethpage Black.

Columbiana bond issue fails again
May 8, 2013
COLUMBIANA — The city school district won more people over this time around, but it still wasn't enough....
Resident71: Here's an idea - REPAIR the ROOF.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Fear-mongering? Isn't that a little bit melodramatic? Have you been in the school? leaky roof is an understatement. Pieces of the ceiling fall down. After one of our last storms, there was a puddle of black, drippy goo that dripped down from the ceiling. The kids are in rooms with buckets catching drips. Here's an idea, why don't you put forth some real ideas of how to "tighten the belt a little" instead of just trying to be clever. Our kids are our future, and the best investment we can make, and investment that the MAJORITY of voters in OTHER school districts were willing to make.
2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Wait, so the Superintendent can't guarantee top notch schools because voters didn't approve to fix a leaky roof? Really? Come on now. I don't see how he draws that conclusion. He's fear mongering. Here's an idea. Tighten up the belt a little, cut some other spending, continue to educate the kids and you should be able to guarantee top notch schools regardless of everything else.

South Carolina may be back in the gold business according to a Post and Courier, July 28 article. The Corps of Engineers may issue a wetlands permit to allow the startup of the largest gold mine in the eastern U.S. and we in South Carolina are the lucky guys.
Now the facts: 1,100 acres of wetlands will be dug up, destroyed or disturbed; at least 120 acres will be lost forever like disappear forever; 24 miles of creeks will be affected (affected? how about polluted) and many will be buried by mining waste (thats the bad stuff); much of the impact (another word for pollution) would result when the mine lowers the groundwater to keep the 800-foot-deep pit dry and there will be a toxic-tinged waste tailings pond I guess tinged is better than completely filled with toxic garbage.
Now the good news: the mining company will be trying to minimize the environmental affects (thats pollution) of the gold-mining operation. Minimize the environmental affect? Sure sounds like they are maximizing the environmental affect as they destroy the environment so someone can buy a gold bracelet. Sum this all up and what have your got? One big huh, one big duh and who are you kidding. Thought this stuff went out in North America after the Yukon was destroyed.

Wake zones
I recently had the privilege to spend the weekend on Goat Island. It is an amazing place.
We were sitting out on the dock and realized that the no wake zone starts somewhere in the middle of the island. While we were sitting on the dock, boaters would come down the waterway at fast speeds causing all kinds of problems. Boats tied to the docks were being banged around. The docks take such a beating that they are starting to fall apart. I would like to suggest that the wake zone be changed starting at the Isle of Palms connector and going past the Isle of Palms Marina. If anyone would just sit on any one of those docks and watch the damage that is caused, they would agree. The cost to maintain a dock alone is a big expense.

Polling data
There is a lot of press and coverage of the recent polling data from Gallup that shows a sharp and continual decline in the approval ratings for the current POTUS. The oddsmakers are feverishly fanning the flames of Obamas demise as a clear indication that he will achieve unique status as the worst POTUS in modern history.
While numbers and statistics get bandied about, the true indicator of success of this administration gets short shrift. This president and his administration have been extraordinarily successful in implementing its agenda of fundamental change. President elect Obama declared from his inaugural podium that his administration was poised to fundamentally change America. He looked right into the eyes of America and declared that our heritage as a Christian faith-based constitutional republic with an economy based on capitalism was going to be systematically dismantled and replaced with a model based on European socialism and aggressive disenfranchisement of Christian values.
While the public in general has come to their disapproval grudgingly, the conservative constitutional taxed enough already movement has been ringing the bells of alarm with vigor since the conclusion of that fateful inaugural declaration six years ago. The midterm elections of 2010 were a resounding rebuke of these policy implementations, but the administrations assault on America has been relentless nonetheless.
The No. 1 reason for this progressive march towards the USAs demise has been a culture of collusion between University Academia, whose generational propaganda-driven curriculum has infected educational standards at all levels of public education and produced a biased press and a bloated bureaucracy of government union employees, who together utilize nepotism and cronyism to close ranks with this administration, protect it and promote its lawless march towards an elitist socialist government, a government that controls its citizenship through intimidation and denial of God-given rights founded in individual freedom.
This POTUS does not fret or suffer angst at these recent poll numbers; he revels in them. He struts and bows to the liberal elites who fawn over his far-reaching and pernicious accomplishments as he continues his assault on America, and the constitution that was written to preserve it. He relishes the lavish lifestyle that his perverted actions will assure as he retires on the dole of the publics pension, the speech revenues generated by his liberal, socialist benefactors and the rent-free mansions at his disposal in Hawaii and New York City. You can make book on that.

Readers Choice
It is always interesting to read the annual list of Voted The Best: Readers Choice in the Moultrie News. I do not see Royall Hardware on the list and I am disappointed.
Royall Hardware is a place where you will see friends and can find just about anything you want in an old town, friendly atmosphere, and the Royall family are gracious supporters of many East Cooper activities and charities. On occasion, I stop by not because I really need something, although I always find something I can use, but just to spend some time in a place that harkens back to the days before the iPhone.
Carl Jennings Smith

I read with great interest the Post and Couriers editorial Let Mount Pleasant grow up. In the interest of full disclosure, the editors should have noted that their parent company, Evening Post Industries, is currently dabbling in a bit of development.
According to their website, they will be breaking ground on the Courier Square development this fall. Courier Square will be a 2.8-acre development of apartments, commercial properties and a parking deck. Sound familiar? The editors appear to have an interest in ensuring the Charleston community at large approves of this type of development.
Mount Pleasant, in its effort to create a live, work and play community along Coleman Boulevard has missed the mark. The live and play components have grown greatly, while creating nearby places to work has failed miserably. Mayor Swails threw the door open for residential development without planning for the negative impacts on roads, economic development and most importantly schools.
The result will be for residents to vote to continue taxing themselves to build schools even though the town council has already voted to raise taxes for infrastructure. Mayors Swails and Page have proven to be the one-two punch for uncontrolled growth. Specifically, the dense apartment growth, with another phase coming quickly, has burdened adjoining neighborhoods with uncontrolled parking and sharply increased traffic. The notion that many people are riding bikes or walking to work simply is not true and wont be until economic development occurs.
Lastly, the Post and Courier says Mount Pleasant must grow vertically to accommodate all that wish to move here. I disagree and feel that the Town of Mount Pleasant does not have to sprawl nor does it have to go vertical. Perhaps it is time to only grow within our boundaries in a well-managed way that will not overwhelm our currently planned infrastructure. We do not have to be the most populated or largest municipality at the expense of our residents.

BRANCHBURG — Bridgewater police officer Kevin Tennant gripped his Smith & Wesson handgun as a man he pulled over in a traffic stop dared him to shoot.
"Let me see your hands," Tennant shouted just before the driver pulled a rifle from his pickup truck.
Tennant fired three shots, the first of which hit the driver.
It was a traffic stop gone horribly wrong, a scenario on the minds of police officers everywhere. This time, however, the driver was an actor projected on a screen, while Tennant's bullets were only laser-guided images.
Tennant was at the police academy Thursday testing Somerset County's new firearms training system, an $80,000 program that not only tests aim but also the decision-making abilities of an officer.
Tennant, 36, a 13-year police veteran, said he didn't know what to expect, but the experience felt real.
"When you give verbal commands, they respond; at the range, no one talks back," he said.
Kept in an academy office at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg, the system comes with a computer, lights, a nearly 16-foot-long projection screen and a pellet cannon that can shoot projectiles at an officer to enhance the realism.
"It's like the Universal Studios of law enforcement," Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano said.
But this is more than an interactive movie or an oversized video game, authorities say. It's a system that allows police officers to put their textbook knowledge to the test in an ever-changing environment.
There are more than 500 life-and-death scenarios the system can recreate, officials said. And each one can play out in a different fashion, depending on the officer's reactions.
Even the location of each gunshot affects the outcome, officials said.
Developed at least 20 years ago, these police training simulators are growing in popularity among law enforcement agencies nationwide, said Robert McCue, general manager of IES Interactive Training, the Michigan-based manufacturer of Somerset County's simulator.
"It's pretty prevalent," he said. "It's cost-effective and user-friendly in many ways."
He said his company alone has 40 systems in New Jersey and serves customers, largely law-enforcement agencies, in all 50 states. Richard Celeste, director of the Somerset County Police Academy, could not say for sure how many police academies statewide use similar systems.
The simulator used by the Somerset County Police Academy is the same as the one used by the FBI, federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the federal Department of Homeland Security, McCue said.
The county's simulator, paid for with money from the state's Law Enforcement Officers Training and Education Fund, will soon be available for free at all hours, every day of the week for police forces in Hunterdon and Somerset counties.
Fees for police departments outside those counties have not been calculated yet, Celeste said.
For now, select officers from local police departments are testing the system and will help shape the training program.
Each scenario is immediately followed by a debriefing with a training officer, who reviews the video with the recruit and asks why each decision was made.
Those discussions train officers to observe details and remember protocol when the danger heightens and the adrenaline surges, Celeste said. According to Tennant, that's the biggest benefit of the system.
"The heart starts racing, and you really feel like you're there," he said. "This is something that will give officers the best training they can get."

Solutions for Chapter VII
Social movement can be global as opposed to national by uniting individuals from all over the world under a common cause. Interests and personal affiliations are not confined to national boundaries or governments. Rather, like-minded people can join social movements and share information with fellow members, regardless of their nationality, location, or government. There are causes and movements that affect a wide array of people globally, and solutions to widely occurring issues can be developed, modified, and shared among all groups.
A few features that have facilitated the endeavor to synchronize global activities and adhere to universal objectives have been the formation of international organizations. Both INGOs (international nongovernmental organizations) and NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) have made it possible for individuals seeking participation in certain activities to find outlets through which to do so, regardless of their locations. With the subsequent rise of globalization following the end of WWII, organizations such as the UN and similar entities help connect the world in ways that had never been experienced prior. Such large international organization paved the way for global discourse, covering a wide array of topics. People around the world could join in conversations and movements that catered to their interests, regardless of their location. Rapid advancements in technology and media spread information quickly and opened up barriers to communication, which allowed for coordination and promotion of common goals.

Stocks fall in six of last seven trading sessions
NEW YORK — The budget fight may be happening in Washington, but it's investors on Wall Street who keep getting smacked.
Stocks fell Friday for the sixth day out of the last seven, and ended the week with a decline. Investors focused on the risk the government could shut down Tuesday unless Congress agrees to a new spending bill.
And even if that hurdle is cleared, the dispute is poised to continue into the middle of October as legislators debate raising the U.S. borrowing limit.
There were a lot of moving parts for investors to keep track of on Friday. The Senate approved a spending bill that is already considered dead in the House of Representatives, where Republicans want changes to President Barack Obama's health care law. Obama spoke on live television during the closing minutes of trading. And investors braced for the possibility that when markets reopen on Monday, none of this will have been resolved.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 70.06 to close at 15,258.24. The S&P 500 index fell 6.92 to 1,691.75. The Nasdaq fell 5.83 at 3,781.59. Still, the indexes were off only about 1 percent for the week.
Consumers boost their spending 0.3% in Aug.
WASHINGTON — U.S. consumers increased their spending slightly last month as their income grew at the fastest pace in six months. The figures point to modest economic growth in the July-September quarter.
Spending on goods and services rose 0.3 percent in August, the Commerce Department said Friday. That's up from a 0.2 percent gain in July, which was slightly more than the 0.1 percent reported last month.
Consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity. Many analysts say the increases are not enough to accelerate economic growth in the third quarter.
JC Penney is looking to raise $810M in offering
PLANO, Texas — J.C. Penney, the struggling retailer that is trying to reassure the market about its financial stability, expects to raise about $810.6 million via a public stock offering.
J.C. Penney said Friday it plans to offer 84 million shares priced at $9.65 per share. That is a 7.3 percent discount to Thursday's closing price.
J.C. Penney shares slid 13 percent to $9.05. Investors noted the growing pool of cheaper shares means current stakes in the company will shrink.
Exxon to offer benefits to US same-sex couples
NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil Corp. said Friday that it will begin offering benefits to legally married same-sex couples in the U.S. for the first time starting next week.
The company says it will recognize "all legal marriages" when it determines eligibility for health care plans for the company's 77,000 employees and retirees in the U.S.
That means if a gay employee has been married in a state or country where gay marriage is legal, his or her spouse will be eligible for benefits with Exxon in the U.S. as of Oct. 1.
Exxon said it was following the lead of the government. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the act that had allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. In recent months, federal agencies have begun to offer benefits to legally-married same-sex couples.
Empire State's owner, Potbelly going public
NEW YORK — Starting next week, you could own a piece of the Empire State Building. Or, if iconic New York skyscrapers aren't your thing, you could bite into Potbelly, a sandwich chain with more than 280 shops.
Next week, these and two more companies with familiar names — the owner of budget-friendly clothing store chain Burlington Coat Factory and Re/Max, one of the country's largest real estate agencies — are expected to sell shares in initial public offerings.
A surging stock market is drawing investors to IPOs. This past week, 12 companies went public. Data provider Dealogic says that's the most in one week since November 2007.

A key prosecution witness in the Robert Blake murder trial surprised a Los Angeles courtroom with his testimony Monday.
Gary McLarty was expected to take the stand and tell jurors that Blake had solicited him for the murder of Blake's wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, in 2001. That's what McLarty had testified to in a preliminary hearing. Instead, the 64-year-old retired stuntman said that Blake had never directly requested that he murder Bakley, the Associated Press reports.
McLarty also admitted to heavily using cocaine, and said that he had experienced paranoid delusions of people tunneling under his house and watching him via satellite. The stuntman also admitted that he had previously lied about the extent of his drug use, and acknowledged that in years past he had killed someone in self-defense, for which he was not charged.
According to testimony, McLarty said that Blake had complained to him about Bakley and showed him where she lived, and that the Baretta actor had suggested to McLarty that someone could enter the house and "pop her."
But when asked by Blake's attorney whether the 71-year-old actor ever directly asked him to kill Bakley, McLarty admitted, "I insinuated it." McLarty also testified that Blake showed him a small gun and asked if he could get a silencer for it, Reuters reports.
Blake's attorney attempted to downplay earlier conversations between his client and McLarty, suggesting that McLarty's hearing problem was to blame in any miscommunication between the two men.
Blake is accused of shooting and killing Bakley, 44, as she waited in a car outside a Studio City, Calif., restaurant. He has pleaded not guilty.
Blake Witness Backtracks On the Stand
