Leonard Jenkins likes a challenge.
Elected as chairman of the Brunswick County Democrats in December, Jenkins said his newest challenge will be restoring the Brunswick County Democratic party.
After being shut out in the November elections by Republicans who won every race on the ballot at the county level, Jenkins is up for the challenge.
LELAND—An employee of Brunswick County Schools since 1987, Connie Kennedy says the reason she keeps coming to work is simply because she loves children.
So much so that the 57-year-old exceptional children (EC) teaching assistant at Leland Middle School is working towards her bachelor's degree in language arts so she can manage a classroom of her own.
"I want to help these children learn how to read," she said.
At the start of 2011 several board appointed committee positions within the town of Shallotte expired. The board of aldermen decided at its December meeting to take a closer look at appointments in January.
During the Jan. 11 regular pre-agenda meeting, the issue was discussed. Alderman Walt Eccard requested additional time concerning appointments to the Downtown Shallotte committee as he felt there may still be a few undecided if they wanted to continue with their service.
Brunswick County will have several Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations and observances from Jan. 13-17.
While the federal holiday recognizes Martin Luther King Jr. as Monday, Jan. 17, Brunswick County will have several observances leading up to the holiday.
From Jan. 14-17, the M.L. King Celebration Committee of Southport will sponsor its 17th annual community celebrations as a tribute to the life, legacy and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
RALEIGH—More insurance rate hikes have been requested for coastal properties.
The North Carolina Rate Bureau recently requested a 20.9-percent increase for homeowners' insurance for some non-owner occupied housing, according to North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin.
CAROLINA SHORES—About half the resumes submitted show candidates for a new town administrator aren't qualified, a town commissioner says.
Town commissioner Joyce Dunn, speaking at town commissioners' monthly meeting Jan. 6, said of 60 to 70 resumes received by the town human resources committee, "30 flat-out are qualified."
Soon, she said, the committee will arrange interviews with people who "met the first cut," then will winnow that down to six or seven people who are "definitely qualified" to succeed retiring town administrator Linda Herncane, who officially leaves the town Feb. 1.
CALABASH—After much debate, town commissioners have agreed to have a joint workshop with the town planning and zoning board to discuss what has become a hot-button issue in town—animated signs.
A majority of board members also rejected the appointment of former town commissioner Emily DiStasio to a vacancy on the planning and zoning board.
HOLDEN BEACH—A 10-minute shower proved to be dangerous Tuesday morning, when rain froze almost instantly on the bridge leading to Holden Beach.
"When I came across the bridge this morning at 10 minutes to 7 [a.m.], the bridge was fine. From then, until about quarter after nine, the bridge remained fine," Holden Beach Police Chief Wally Layne told town commissioners at their Tuesday night meeting.
The South Brunswick Islands Woman's Club second annual Souper Bowl, an Empty Bowls event to benefit the South Brunswick Interchurch Council food pantry, will take place 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, at Shallotte Presbyterian Church, 5070 M.H. Rourk Drive behind Rourk Public Library on Main Street.
Area potters have made hand-crafted bowls in preparation for this year's event, co-sponsored by the North Carolina General Federation of Women's Clubs, which donated a $250 grant to cover the cost of supplies. The Brunswick Beacon is a media sponsor.
A recent University of North Carolina School of Government ruling has prompted Brunswick County Finance Director Ann Hardy to recommend commissioners nix a water and sewer hardship program.
Hardy said she recently received a legal opinion from the School of Government stating the county's hardship financing program for low-income water and sewer customers was not in compliance with state statute.

Congress needs to move on immigration reform
More than 70 immigrant advocates brought the issue home to Milwaukee last week when they blocked garage doors at the downtown office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to protest recent immigration raids in the city.
"This is a pragmatic action, not a symbolic one," said Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director of the immigration advocacy group Voces de la Frontera. "We're literally shutting down ICE."
Maybe, but at the very least, Thursday's demonstration serves to remind of Congress' utter failure to address immigration reform, a failure that harms the economy and leaves millions of immigrants in a shadow world. Time after time, lawmakers have come close to a deal that would provide a necessary pathway to citizenship and then have failed to close the deal. It's a shameful record and is likely to continue, especially after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's defeat in a Virginia primary earlier this month to an unknown tea party candidate who spent a lot of time beating up Cantor over immigration.
The Milwaukee protest was part of the national "Not One More" campaign organized by the National Day Labor Organizing Network, which has orchestrated rallies and acts of civil disobedience in cities across the U.S. this spring. The movement is being driven not only by Congress' failure but by the fact that deportations under President Barack Obama have surpassed 2 million. The labor network is calling on the president to issue an executive order halting deportations until reform legislation is passed.
The protesters are right on this point: Reform legislation is needed now. Wisconsin's leaders in Congress, such as U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican who favors reform, need to redouble their efforts.
Wisconsin revenue officials shouldn't be so quick to reject a new offer from Minnesota to re-establish an agreement on income tax reciprocity for citizens who work in one state and live in another.
Since a 40-year reciprocity deal lapsed in 2009 such citizens have had to file income taxes in both states, a hassle for those workers and the businesses that employ them. Why not put politics aside and encourage economic growth on both sides of the border?
Minnesota officials have offered to lower Wisconsin's annual payment by $1 million if the state approves the agreement by Sept. 30, according to an Associated Press article.
The Star Tribune says about 80,000 residents who live in one state and work in the other have had to file income taxes in both states since the 40-year-old deal between the two states lapsed in 2009. It also noted that about 56,000 Badger State residents work in Minnesota — more than double the number of Gopher State residents who cross the border for work.
Minnesota officials say their studies show Wisconsin owes Minnesota about $92 million a year. That's $4 million to $6 million more than Wisconsin officials think the state should pay. They blame a Minnesota tax credit that they say puts their residents at a disadvantage.
Wisconsin state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls) told the Star Tribune that Minnesota's insistence on the additional millions is "an agreement killer." She said Wisconsin officials have complied with every other agreement, but that accepting the new proposal would be "subsidizing Minnesota's tax policy.
We understand those concerns, and we agree that Wisconsin shouldn't get the short end of the stick. But we'd also suggest a little more conversation between the states and a little more compromise — on both sides. Those 80,000 workers who cross state lines shouldn't be caught in the middle of this dispute.
An organization representing mayors of cities in the Great Lakes region says the governments of the United States and Canada should do more to protect the environment from oil spills. It's a good idea, especially in the face of proposals for more pipeline transportation of oil and a proposal for expansion of a Superior dock for oil shipments on the lakes.
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative approved a resolution on the matter Wednesday during its annual meeting in Thunder Bay, Ont., according to the Associated Press.
Racine Mayor John Dickert, the group's chairman, told the AP that the federal response to serious accidents in both countries has been insufficient.
The resolution urges tougher regulations, more frequent inspections and enforcement actions. It proposes a fee on energy companies for a fund to pay for emergency response and cleanup. Given the initial woeful company response to a pipeline oil spill in Michigan a few years back, such changes are warranted.
Here's a lesson for all local officials: Like it or not, dealing with what you may consider annoying constituents is part of the job. Tim Keleman, chief of police in the Town of Campbell, near La Crosse, has been suspended and is under investigation after he admitted to investigators that he harassed a tea party protester by signing him up for online dating, pornography and other accounts. Keleman said that he just wanted to get back at the man because he was causing the town trouble by suing over the town's ban on signs and banners from a pedestrian bridge where the tea party wanted to send its message. Apparently Keleman couldn't do it the old-fashioned way by ticketing the guy's car. Sorry, chief, you don't get to "get back" at citizens exercising their constitutional rights. The suspension and investigation are entirely appropriate.

Have you ever closed Word, clicked No when prompted to save your changes and then yelled "Oh no!" when you realize that you had just thrown away minutes, or hours, of work? Word 2010 won't stop you from clicking No inappropriately, but it will protect your work during and after your editing session. We've been editing this file for an hour or so. While I haven't save my changes, not necessarily a good practice, Word has been saving this automatically for me every 10 minutes based on the settings in the Word Options dialog box in the Save category.
Based on those settings, Word is also hanging on to the very last version of autosave it created, in case I need it. Now I'm going to make a mistake, and I'm going to close Word without saving the changes that I've made. Oh no! Well, let's open Word again, and let's see if we take a look at that file, what's available to us. So, I'm going to go back and open the Employee Handbook again and go Backstage and notice that Word automatically retained a version that says, today at 12:55 PM you closed this without saving it.
So, I can easily open this up and be back exactly where I was, at least at 12:55. Word hung on to this document for me, so that I could return to it. I'm going to close this for a moment. Notice again that it's asking me to throw out this unsaved version, which is fine. I'm not going to save it. And take a look at an another possibility. If I had done more changes since then even, and I wanted ,12:55 wasn't good enough, I wanted my 1:30 version or my 3:00 PM version, another choice I have is to go to Recent and choose Recover Unsaved Documents.
I might there see a list that includes that document. If I do, I can recover it from here. For this document, however, the most recent version is the autosave version at 12:55. So, I'm going to go ahead and open this document. I'm going to restore it, which will overwrite the last saved version with the selected version. If there was a saved version after this, there wouldn't have been an autosave version at 12:55. I'm going to say OK, and I have my document, and I've only really lost about 15 minutes, when I might have done some work or might not.
Word protected this document for me. I had it opened for several hours, hadn't really made many changes at one time, but I had made a few, and I can return to this most recent autosave version of my document. What if I had never saved this document at all? Let's take a look at an another document, Document2. This is a really important document. I want to tell you how I often will make this error. You think it's telling you, do you want to delete this document, but I'll be working on a document, send it to a printer, I've spent some time on it, but what I really wanted was a hard copy to take to a meeting, for example.
So, I send the document to the printer, and then I close it, and I think, do I need it? No. I sent it to the printer. Then I walk over to the printer and find out that there wasn't any paper loaded for example, or letterhead was loaded or perhaps when it printed, it's not quite what I wanted, and I don't realize until I see that hard copy. It's often the case, I think, for many users, that documents that we think we don't need, that we create really briefly and send out to printer or put into an Email message or the documents that we really wish we had access to. So, I've just created this really important memo, sent it off to the printer, and I'm going to go ahead and close this until we're - no, don't save it.
Now, I go over to the printer, for example, and notice that there are mistakes in this document, or I'd like to create part of it over again, but I threw it away. So let's start Word again and see what we have. Let's go to Backstage. Choose Recent. This document isn't listed, but I can choose Recover Documents and notice that I have my Really Important Memo that I can open, again, a document that I never saved, but Word saved a copy of it for me.
In order for Word to save a copy, you have to have had the document opened long enough that autosave engaged at least once. Though we never saved this document, Word still has a copy. Let's go ahead and save this document and give it a name this time, so that we don't lose it again. By default, Word will keep up to four unsaved documents for you. You can always access them through Recent > Backstage and then go to Recover Unsaved Documents.
If you frequently work with more documents, you might want to increase this number. The unsaved documents, documents that you abandoned without saving are kept in this folder for four days, or until the next time you edit them. If you've ever closed a file, like this Really Important Memo, without saving your changes and then wished you'd have done otherwise, I don't need to tell you how great this feature is.

Boodah Beefcake
Active within 1948 Days
Hi! My name is Boodah Beefcake
I am a Siamese from Porterville, CA
Nicknames: Boo, Boo-boy, When he's being bad, Booferd
Age: 9 years old
Gender: M
Coat: short haired
Education: He charmed a vet who was visiting the San Luis Obispo, CA. Animal Shelter, where he was moments away from being "put down". The vet saw that he had severe injuries but with surgery and care could be healthy again. This wonderful vet, phoned the H.A.R.T Center in Cambria CA. These wonderful people agreed to cover the expenses to have the medical care done. So, after two surgeries, Beefcake, named by the vet who saved him, went to stay at the H.A.R.T Sanctuary, where he began his recovery. At first he was cared for by a wonderful Foster Mom until it was safe for him to be housed at the house with the other cats. I first saw him when two friends and I stopped at H.A.R.T to visit with the kitties. He was sleeping on a ledge with a few other cats. His fur was beginning to grow back in where he had been shaved for his procedures. He was calm and gentle, and seemed to enjoy my attention, but was not moved to stir from his spot on the shelf. Another kitty jumped up and he touched his nose to hers in greeting, she proceeded to find a spot amongst the comfy cushions and began her afternoon nap. His peaceful demeanor, and his gentleness, after all he had been through, really impressed me. I guess I sort of fell for him right then. My friends and I stayed a long time and played with and petted lots of kitties that day, but when we left, I kept thinking of Beefcake. When I got home from my trip with my friends, I told my husband about Beefcake. He seemed unimpressed. A few weeks later, we took a two day trip to Cambria and while there, I introduced Beefcake to my husband. Well, we ended up bringing him home with us. His quiet charm was just too much for both of us. He is now a real part of our family. And has become used to being treated very well. (I hesitate to say "spoiled") We love him very much. His fur is all grown in now, and he is a very handsome fellow. As you will see when I post his picture. I consider his rescue and recovery quite a fantastic story!
My favorite tricks and treats are: I have not tried to teach him any tricks. It's undignified. and yogurt is his favorite treat.
Where I hang out: He has taken possession of one of the chairs in the living room. Finally we put his favorite blankie and his bed on it, and call it "Boo's chair".
My favorite grubs: He seems to like chicken the most.
My pet peeves: He comes into the bedroom at 5:30 to 6:00am and starts clawing the headboard to get my husband to wake up and feed him his breakfast! We are working on training ............
What I love about my owners: Well, if this is a space for Boo's comments, he loves that we feed him mostly. He loves our laps and when he wants a lap to lay in, he likes us to oblige him. He decides when he wants attention though. So, you might say, in some ways, he's the one in charge. So does that make him our owner? Hummmmmmm. ........
My cat hobbies: Go outside, which is a no-no. Because of his injuries the people at HART asked us to promise and part of the adoption agreement, that we will keep him as an indoor only cat. We are doing our best to honor that promise. He did however slip out one day when our grandson was here. He forgot to close the door and the cat got out. We did get him back in after just a few minutes, but ever since he tries to get out whenever he spots the chance. He's gotten very sneaky about it. I'm going to attempt to train him to be on a leash, then he can go outside with us and not be in danger of being hurt again. He sits in the windows and watches the neighborhood cats walking around free and easy and I feel bad for him. He wants to go out so badly.
Pet motto: There is no Snooze Button on a cat who wants his breakfast.

I will tell you here how he got the name Boodah. He came to us as Beefcake, as I told you before. We found that name really awkward to say. Although, he is quite handsome and I'm sure the lady kitties would agree he is "Beefcaky", it really wasn't working for us. So we embarked on a name search. Over several days many names were bantered around. Then one evening as I sat looking at him, and he sat looking back at me, still and calm like a statue, inscrutable. I realized he was reminding me of the Buddah statues I have around the house, so was born the name Buddah. Not wanting to be disrespectful, I changed the spelling.

Build Your Own Cloud with Eucalyptus
Virtualization Extensions—Make Sure They're Enabled!
Eucalyptus requires that the CPU on the node controllers have Virtualization Extensions (VT) enabled. Do yourself a favor and go into your BIOS and check that it is enabled. Simply grepping for "vmx" in /proc/cpuinfo isn't enough. The BIOS support must be enabled as well. When preparing to write this article, I burned up several days in testing to learn this fact. The virtual machine appeared to start, then terminated immediately with an obscure message in the nc.log file on the node controller like [EUCAERROR ] libvirt: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'i-427C0881' (code=42). Simply flipping the BIOS switch that enabled Virtualization Extensions allowed the virtual machine to start properly. Verify your BIOS settings before installation!
What's the Walrus—CooCooCaChoo?
Eucalyptus includes a service known as the walrus. The walrus service is a storage service that emulates Amazon's S3 storage. This article covers the default installation of Eucalyptus that runs the walrus service on the same system as the cloud controller. If you have a server with a lot of disk space, it's entirely possible to split the walrus service out and export hunks of disk space as volumes to the virtual machines. In other words, it's a free implementation of a virtual SAN for your virtual machines. Unfortunately, getting into the specifics of the walrus goes beyond what can be covered here.
DHCP Issues
The Eucalyptus cloud controller does run a DHCP server that will respond to requests from cloud instances. However, if you have a DHCP server on your LAN, it may be possible that your instances could receive a DHCP address from your other DHCP server rather than the cloud controller's DHCP server. You may want to tell your main DHCP server to ignore requests sent from the MAC addresses of the cloud instances. All of the cloud instances have MAC addresses that begin in d0:0d. On my DHCP server running dnsmasq, all I had to do was add a line to the dnsmasq.conf file that said dhcp-host=d0:0d:*,ignore.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Since the Oakland Raiders have finished 30th and 32nd in total defense in each of the last two seasons, most people have reasoned that the team will have to win games with scores that would make Arena Football League fans proud. After all, the team has all kinds of weapons on offense with quarterback Kerry Collins, running back Lamont Jordan along with wide receivers Randy Moss, Jerry Porter and Ronald Curry.
There's little doubt that the Raiders defense failed miserably last season despite first-year coordinator Rob Ryan's attempted makeover from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Oakland finished near the bottom in several defensive categories: yards per game (30th, 371.0), third down conversion (32nd, 47.4%), time of possession allowed (32nd, 33:13), completion percentage allowed (25th, 61.8%), sacks (31st), takeaways (30th) and points allowed (31st).
The Raiders were respectable against the run in one sense allowing just 3.7 yards per rush, good for seventh in the NFL, but gave up 125.8 rushing yards per game, good for 22nd among 32 teams.
Oakland certainly did not envision the defense performing as such after making wholesale changes, most notably in signing defensive tackles Warren Sapp and Ted Washington.
Since Oakland's offense has the talent to match any team score-for-score, the defense does not necessarily have to be like say, the 1985 Bears or 2000 Ravens. Even an average performance would go a long way toward improving on last year's 5-11 performance and perhaps challenging for a playoff spot. After all, the Raider coaching staff is not likely to get another free pass if the team has a double-figure loss season.
"That definitely stings every time you hear someone in the media say how weak our defense is," Brayton said. "I think we have a better grasp of what we need to do."
At this stage of training camp, the Raiders have not necessarily locked themselves in to committing to either front whether it's a 3-4 or 4-3. Among the switches that did not pan out last season was moving defensive end Tyler Brayton to outside linebacker. The Raiders made a similar move with Akbar Gjaba-Biamila and Sam Williams.
The Raiders are counting heavily on the fact that having a full season to absorb Ryan's system will make them better if for no other reason than there will be less uncertainty. "It was new to us," Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "With things that are new, you're not going to get it like that. People gave us a hard time because we had the talent on paper but just couldn't put it together. They expect things to happen at the snap of a finger but it doesn't happen that way."
Raiders head coach Norv Turner cited the importance of improving on third down efficiency coupled with generating pressure on quarterbacks. Defensive end Derrick Burgess, who signed as a free agent from Philadelphia, is one player Oakland is counting on to improve a pass rush that was on vacation last year.
"I don't think it's a motivation to prove anybody wrong," Burgess said. "What people say really doesn't matter. You still have to go out and play the game."
Sapp is also optimistic about a turnaround because the team evaluated what worked and what did not.
"I think the one thing I always say is that when I was in Tampa in 2002, we had just come out of Philly and got stomped," Sapp said. "There was no way we were thinking about winning a championship. Once it gets rolling, you'll know it. We feel like we have a good group."

The apples were the 39th and 40th of the year for Plekanec, who's also contributed 13 goals, 36 PIM and 187 shots on net. Despite it being a down season for just about everyone in Montreal, Plekanec's pace of 0.65 points per game is right in line with his career average of 0.66 across 842 NHL contests. That being said, his 13 tallies have fallen well short of last year's 26-goal showing, which has understandably disappointed some owners in 2015-16.
The goal was Plekanec's first in 20 games. It's been a rough stretch for the 33-year-old Czech, who had just six assists, was minus-3, and won 45 percent of his draws during the 19-game drought. Plekanec's seasons has mirrored that of the team: he had 24 points through the first 25 games, when Montreal was 18-4-3, but has fallen off to just 23 points in the next 49.
Adding a fourth forward to the power play did not turn out so well for the Canadiens, who allowed Ottawa to score three short-handed goals in a 5-0 loss. Plekanec, who's played the point before on the man advantage, said the alignment was the reason for the shorties. "We made a lot of mistakes," Plekanec said. "The puck jumped over a stick, we had a turnover, we were caught on a bad change and we didn't get back. It wasn't bad luck, it was mistakes and they made us pay." Saturday wasn't a good night for Montreal, a team that looks like they've given up on the season.
That's two huge explosions for Plekanec in a three-game span, as he ripped off four points Saturday against Edmonton, with a quiet effort against Carolina sandwiched in between. Even with Montreal's offense struggling on the whole, Plekanec is in the midst of a great season, on pace to clear 60 points for the fourth time in his career. Just think how good his stats would look if not for the 28-game stretch in which the veteran pivot accumulated only two goals and nine assists to go with a minus-13 rating -- a span that correlates closely to the absence of Carey Price (leg) from the lineup.
Plekanec has been a disappointment this season as the goal was just his 10th of the year. The Canadiens have struggled mightily since goaltender Carey Price went down to injury and if they want to get back into the playoff race they will need Plekanec to have more games like he did Saturday afternoon.

The first objective of recruiting in college football is to lock down your state. However, the best recruiters are skilled enough to excel at out-of-state recruiting.
Some schools have the advantage of having a brand that is recognized all over the country, which helps entice recruits from outside their state to sign with them. Other schools have great recruiters who utilize their relationships on the trail to get in good with prospects who are not from the area where their program resides.
No matter what it is, the game of college football has several coaches who can reach outside their state's borders for a talented player.

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
Harry Winston has just released the latest edition of their Project Z collection: the Project Z9. The Z lineup bridges the gap between luxury and sports watches and uses the latest tech and mechanics in each iteration for a state-of-the-art timepiece. The latest model is housed in a casing made of a Zalium alloy like its predecessors, but this will mark the first time a piece from the collection will be driven by a high-frequency movement.
To celebrate their long history and intimate connection to China's culture, Jaquet-Droz is releasing four, special-edition timepieces for the Chinese New Year.
The first luxury watch trade show of the season, Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, has just come to a close. Known for highlighting experimental pieces that value beauty, luxury and concept over function, it's closed to the public and accessible by brand invitation only, making it one of the most exclusive horological events of the year.
People have been hesitant to make wearables a part of their everyday lives. We're fine toting around our phones, laptops and being surrounded by all manner of technology, but everything that's been hitting the market, from the failed Google Glass to the more successful Apple Watch, has been met with mild interest and even milder sales numbers.
Fitbit just released its answer to Apple Watch, the Blaze. The smartwatch, which was released at CES today, offers the best of Fitbit devices with a more fashionable design. It can track the wearer's heart rate, caloric burn, steps taken, sleep patterns and a number of other fitness stats and relay it all to your smartphone for easy access and storage.
Breitling has just announced the release of the new Exospace B55 Connected, the Swiss brand's first smart chronograph. It's a twist on the latest trend of smartwatches as it uses the phone to enhance its functionality as a watch rather than a dependent extension to take a few photos or play a few downloadable games.
Poker is a game with connotations of wealth, sophistication and glamour. The same can be said about a good watch—though that's not where the similarities end. Just like the intrinsic mechanics behind a timepiece; the logistics of poker are complex and difficult to master.
One of the things we most adore about a ladies watch is the amount of glittering stones and baubles that often cover its surface. But the latest timepiece from Richard Mille puts almost every other watch to shame.
Smart watches are among the biggest wish-list items of the year, but the fact is that they aren't smart enough to lend a hand if you need to tie bad guys to a chair, trap a wild animal, tow a boat, make a tourniquet, or even keep your pants from falling down.
To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, Harry Winton is releasing the limited-edition Premier Monkey Automatic 36mm. Those who were born during the year of the monkey, are characterized by intelligence, mischievousness and playfulness, all traits that are represented in the latest timepiece.
It looks like Tag Heuer just hired a hunky new spokesman. The luxury watch brand has named Chris Hemsworth the latest international brand ambassador, joining the ranks of celebs like Cara Delevingne, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Ronaldo.
With so many exceptional luxury watches, but so little time to shop for them all, a panel of the world's most eminent Swiss watch experts has made the task easier by awarding prizes to 16 truly special timepieces.
Urwerk's latest project is the EMC Pistol, a special-edition timepiece that encapsulates the best of the EMC collection and gives it an upgraded, more luxurious exterior. The original EMC has won numerous awards and accolades around the world.
Smartwatches hit the market long before Apple released their own version of the techy timekeeper, but it's fair to say they are currently dominating the wearable industry. Of course, this leaves other tech brands and Swiss watchmakers scrambling to find something to compete—and they may have found it.
Get ready to add another exclusive timepiece to your watch collection—Harry Winston just released Opus 14, the 14th edition of the brand's unique Opus collection. The latest piece is inspired by 1950s automobiles and jukeboxes, an era of drive-ins, drag races and rock 'n' roll, which is captured in its one-of-a-kind dial and blue and red Americana palette.

Two years ago, state Sen. Renee Unterman helped lead an effort to shut down Medicaid expansion in Georgia.
But now the prominent Republican wants her colleagues to reconsider years of opposition to any form of Medicaid expansion.
"Times have changed, and we've seen the effect of the health crisis we're in," Unterman, chair of the state Senate's health committee, said this week. "I'm looking at sustainability. How long can we keep giving state dollars away?"
Unterman's shift is the latest crack in Republican opposition to a key component of President Barack Obama's signature health care law. Unterman and others argue that increasing Medicaid...

TV Ratings: Howard Stern's 'Talent' debut can't lift NBC past ABC, CBS on Monday
'Dancing' leads ABC overall, 'How I Met Your Mother' helps CBS in the demo
NBC was so excited about Howard Stern's debut as judge on "America's Got Talent" that the network moved the start of the summer favorite into May sweeps. The result was a premiere that came in well below last year's numbers, but still performed well against stronger-than-summer competition.
Howard Stern aside, ABC still won Monday overall thanks to "Dancing with the Stars," while CBS captured the night among young viewers with the "How I Met Your Mother" finale and a strong "Hawaii Five-0" finale.
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 3.3 rating, holding off NBC's 3.0 rating and the 2.5 rating for ABC in the key demographic. FOX was fourth with a 2.0 rating, while The CW's Monday finales averaged a 0.6 key demo rating.
Overall, though, ABC averaged an estimated 11.9 million viewers and a 7.7 rating/12 share, beating CBS' 6.4/10 and 10.42 million viewers. NBC's 5.3/8 and 8.89 million viewers finished a solid third, beating FOX's 4.2/6 and 6.76 million viewers. The CW averaged 0.9/1 and 1.35 million viewers for Monday.
8 p.m. - "Dancing with the Stars" led the way overall in the 8 p.m. hour for ABC with 14.75 million viewers, coming in third with a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's "America's Got Talent" averaged 9.96 million and a 3.5 key demo rating to start the Howard Stern Era. CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" finale was third with 8.49 million viewers and won the hour with a 3.6 key demo rating. FOX's "Bones" averaged 7.07 million viewers and a 1.9 key demo rating in fourth. The CW's "Gossip Girl" got a solid finale bump to a 0.6 key demo rating and 1.17 million viewers.
9 p.m. - ABC stayed in first overall for the 9 p.m. hour with "Dancing with the Stars" (17.15 million and a 2.9 key demo) and the start of the premiere of "The Bachelorette" (9.33 million viewers and a 2.6 key rating). CBS was second overall and second in the key demo with "Two and a Half Men" (11.33 million viewers and a 3.8 key demo) and "Mike & Molly" (11.63 million and a 3.3 key demo rating). [Yes, it appears that "Mike & Molly" out-drew its lead-in for the first time.] NBC's "America's Got Talent" won the hour with a 3.8 rating among adults 18-49 and finished third with 10.66 million viewers. The penultimate episode of "House" averaged 6.45 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating, both up slightly. The CW's "Hart of Dixie" finale averaged 1.53 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - "Hawaii Five-0" closed strong with 11.29 million viewers and a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "The Bachelorette" slipped to 7.71 million viewers, but held fairly steady with a 2.5 key demo rating. NBC's "Smash" ended its first season with 6.06 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

The Department of Public Health at William Paterson University offers two undergraduate programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree as well as two minors for students studying disciplines other than public health.
Bachelor of Science in Public Health
The Bachelor of Science in Public Health prepares students with knowledge of public health practice, principles and methods, and the skills necessary to utilize these to improve the health of the public. This is achieved through a foundation in general education, the biological, social and behavioral sciences, research, and the core content areas of public health enhanced by a semester-long internship in a public health setting.
The public health program offers students two tracks of study, General Public Health and Public Health Education. The program prepares students to enter the public health work force through a multi-disciplinary study of the physical and natural sciences, education, psychology, sociology, and public health.
Bachelor of Science in Health Studies
Contact the department for more information about this degree program.
Minor in Public Health
The minor in Public Health introduces students to the core responsibilities and functions of the field of Public Health. Students may select from a variety of elective courses to build a program that enhances the student's major area of study and matches the student's personal interests in the health field.
Minor in Health Studies
As our collective understanding of human health is continually evolving, the minor in Health Studies provides students with broad exposure to current and evidence-based content through a variety of personal health courses. Students who minor in Health Studies will explore content in several foundational areas of personal health and well-being, and may select elective courses based on personal interests and needs.

I've watched most of this, JL as time is against me this morning. It's certainly very interesting. So far a whole lot of questions, but the answers seem elusive. The one thing that struck me early on was that 'more money' doesn't necessarily deliver 'more education'.
Oh, and 'rubber rooms'!
I'll be interested in others comments - particularly those posters who have worked within the US system.

HERE'S A TIP for would-be bandits: Don't let Mom watch footage of you committing the crime.
She's likely to hand you over to police, as one 14-year-old boy learned the hard way yesterday.
Police say the teen, whose name isn't being released because he's a juvenile, was escorted to 19th District headquarters after his mom recognized him terrorizing a Wynnefield beauty-supply store on surveillance-camera footage.
"We definitely say kudos to Mom for doing this," said Lt. John Stanford, a police spokesman. "It can be rough for parents to acknowledge this kind of thing, but it's good to see that they don't tolerate this behavior."

I'm not sure that I truly get into a holiday state of mind each December until DJ Riko releases his annual Mixmas compilation, a blend of seasonal cheer, novelty and desconstruction that only a savvy crate-digger and platter-spinner could produce.
But this year, DJ Riko's given me a double-shot of joy: his 2012 Mixmas includes a track from "Christmas With the Ghostly Trio," a 1980s delight that I once owned on cassette. Riko nestles the Trio's saxy take on "Angels We Have Heard on High" between Devo's "Merry Something to You" and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' "Hava Nagila (Christmas Arrangement)," followed by the Nat King Cole rarity "Mrs. Santa Claus." »Read Full Blog Post
Crowds line up for last dose of fun as State Fair draws to close
Steam carried the scent of roasting pork and grilling chicken across State Fair Park in West Allis, as crowds for the fair's final day drifted by, carrying plastic cups of beer and Dippin' Dots.
The threat of rain Sunday didn't seem to have discouraged many, judging by the long lines waiting for the strawberry- and banana-flavored milk at Herb's Superb Milk House. Long lines also could be found at the Margarita Express and the cookie dough fondue. »Read Full Article(4)
Video: Knitting the Warhol Bridge in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, famed as a city of bridges, has made one of them more colorful this weekend. More than 1,800 artists and volunteers are in the process of yard-bombing the Andy Warhol Bridge, which spans the Allegheny River to connect downtown Pittsburgh and the city's North Shore.

Concert review: Taylor Swift's 'Red' tour brings color, spectacle to Chicago's Soldier Field
CHICAGO - Seven songs into Taylor Swift's sold-out Soldier Field concert Saturday, her life flashed before our eyes.
There was Swift, up on the big screens, growing up in a matter of moments through a series of home movies, from smashing the keys on a keyboard as a four-year-old, to performing in a school musical and at some humble gigs as a preteen and teen, to standing at a press conference at the Grammys at 19. It all culiminated with the 23-year-old Swift in the flesh, escorted through the Bears field on the shoulders of her dancers, slapping fans' hands and singing her exuberant pop hit "22." »Read Full Article(2)

Can't play jLunia
Every time I try to enter the Square , I cant. I log in, choose my main charakter and then before the Square list are loaded, the game crashes . How 2 fix it ?

If that doesn't work, go to control panel, add or remove programs, and completely uninstall jlunia. Then go to the lunia jp website and download the new build, then install. Should work after that.
Yes File Check, this happened to me when i try to play Glunia though... But that was months ago. lol

Can You Believe This Sleek Walnut-and-Aluminum PC Case is DIY?
Gtek at the bit-tech.net forums submitted some photos of his latest creation: a 35-inch metal and wood, tall and slim PC case modification. It was a labor of love, judging by the lenghy and time-intensive processes Gtek had to go through (you can see some in-process photos he posted on the bit-tech.com forum). His mod is so good, in fact, that I first suspected it was some new offering from the tech design giants Bang & Olufsen. The sleek lines and modern textures certainly look like the elements of a several-thousand-dollar product. The aluminum chassis (painted black) is paired with a stained walnut finish and built into a PC case with unique tall dimensions. This would look right at home in a modern living room or home office. Sure beats trying to hide a PC tower under the desk, right? Check out more photos of the project and the finished design here. (Images: Gtek/forums.bit-tech.net. Via: Reddit Technology)

Whether you have a porch, pool, or patio, get ideas for an inspiring outdoor space.
llardog: This is the most biased, false, lying article I think I have ever read. Hillary, with 30 years of political experience couldn't stand up and abxolutely demolish Trump, who has none of the above, is a testiment to the fact that she isn't up to the job. She has two more debates to go to prove herself, but somehow I think it's only going to get worse for her. She is not trustworthy and is one of the most dishonest politicians on the planet along with Obama. It's because of the action of her and Obama that we are expericencing the problems we have in the world with ISIS. No one else. They orchestrated the wilthdrawal from Iraq and the timing. They let the world and ISIS know when we were pulling out and by doing so, created the conditions we have in the world today. They mishandled everything and now the media and the left wants to continue the stupidity to further their agenda. If you fall for it, you deserve it.

6636 N Washtenaw Chicago IL 60645 USA
At Mitziut we find how the text, liturgy and holidays teach us to live in the world today. Many of us having searched elsewhere, we foster community and Divine experience by singing, dancing, praying, drumming, working for social justice and eating together. We welcome all regardless of race, class, religion, sex, sexuality, gender and gender identity, age, ability or knowledge and experience of Judaism. Current offerings include Shabbos and holidays, a Jewish drum circle, classes and spiritual guidance. We also have started going to festivals, like Burning Man, and setting up Jewish camps and hope to do more. Other future plans include a community center with such elements as a kosher cafe, copy center, computers, book swap library, offices for local non-profits and other needs of the Jewish and local community. A monthly spiritual recharge for social justice workers, non-profits workers and activists is in the works. We also envision a study, prayer and meditation program for those who want to engage thusly several hours a day. These folks would potentially help run the community center as part of their program.

I have attended several events and volunteered for a night ministry outing. The folks tend to be in their 40s or older, and very enthusiastic. Rabbi Menachem is quite interesting - he reaches out equally to the homeless, to Burning Man participants, and to the unaffiliated in Chicago.

The accessibility , joyfulness and soulfulness of my Mitziut experiences are a treasure to me. They are so respectful of all and go right to the soul. It is spontaneous and divine. The ecstasy and joyfulness enveloped all the participants and the Rabbi's humility and honest teaching and expression of the human condition was profound and accessible to all. The fabulous music, singing, drumming and dancing were remarkable. A Seeker's Dream! Any Jew, with or without experience could feel welcome here. How iportant is that?!? That was my Rosh Hashonah experience there. My first experience at Mitziut was at a Shabbat on the beach led by the Rosh Chodesh women of the group. It was also quite wonderful. In my view Mitziut is on to something our religion needs. They seem to give a lot of support to their member's individual pursuits as well; there is jut a basic respect, without hierarchy, for all. Nor do they neglect tzedakah. Any help they can get will be well placed.

"We could not find a solution to our large windows and sliders and with living on the beach – the sun is just ruining our furniture. Bernie from Regency came and he suggested solar roller shades and because of the span of the windows, they had to be motorized. Well what a convenience that turned out to be because we could not be happier and our motorized solar shades do all the work themselves, not to mention they are very energy efficient."-Robert & Lynn Boca Raton, FL
When it comes to finding the right window treatment for your Florida home, wooden shutters may be your first choice however; they require care such as staining from sunlight damage and with the high humidity, the wood itself may suffer damage over time. There is another alternative for your Florida home - poly shutters. Poly shutters are durable because they are made with high quality poly materials and finished with a durable paint. They can also be manufactured in virtually any shape or size to accommodate the style of your home.
When investing in some new shutters for your Florida home, there are environmental factors to take into consideration. Florida is cursed with having high levels of humidity almost all year round; therefore there are some factors to consider when investing in a specific type of shutter. The ideal shutter for a Florida home would be poly shutters. They are made out of solid core poly materials and virtually block all UV rays when they are closed, making them energy efficient.
By using CNC technology, expert craftsmen can essentially manufacture anything you dream of as far as custom shutters are concerned. Whether you want more of a plantation style shutter or poly shutter for the interior of your home, all custom shutters in Florida require a trained professional to achieve the best, possible outcome. Quality is the most important thing to look for when choosing the proper custom shutters to transform your home.
When choosing custom shutters for your home, you want to seek out a professional to achieve the best finished product. Regency Shutters & Shade happens to offer both exceptional experience and an impeccable reputation. With Regency, the manufacturing and installation of custom indoor shutters is priority number one. With a long history of crafting and installing all manners of shutters, Regency is one of the premier shutter companies in Florida. Let them assist you in choosing the appropriate solution for your home - Florida shutters are made to last if you go with Regency Shutters & Shade.
Regency Shutters & Shade takes the guessing work out of choosing the right custom shutters for your home. Their qualified experts can help you design and construct the perfect shutters to complement your home. Installing custom shutters is an excellent way to invest in the long-term value of any home, and Florida custom shutters are a must-have for homeowners who appreciate quality and style. To find the best fit for your home, confide in Regency Shutters & Shade for some peace of mind when it comes to getting the perfect custom shutters, including poly, motorized, and wooden shutters, screen shades, and draperies.
Poly shutters are the perfect for any environment and require minimal care. Made from solid core poly, and finished with a durable paint, poly shutters can be manufactured in whichever shape and size best fit your window treatments. The color is topped off with a durable UV treated finish to prevent any yellowing or crackling of paint, increasing their lifetime. All they require in terms of care is a light dusting. For those who have a busy lifestyle as is, poly shutters are your best choice - they require no painting and they do not rot overtime.
Solar screen shades are perfect for allowing some of the sunlight to enter your home while still keeping the temperature inside cool. These screen shades can be motorized and specifically designed to block UV rays from entering your home and damaging your furniture. They come in a variety of colors and materials - the darker hues allowing for a clearer view of outside and lighter hues making the view of the outdoors softer. Solar screen shades are also easy to clean and care for, making them perfect for sunrooms and sliding doors.
Once you picked out your ideal, custom shutters, the next step is accessorizing them with custom draperies. When choosing custom draperies, you are adding to the aesthetic of your home. Regency Shutter & Shade has a new custom drapery department that specializes in cornices, valances, bedding headboards and many more. All custom draperies are manufactured locally and installed by a team of in-house professionals.
Motorizing the shades in your home offers many conveniences. Whether you simply want to control the mood in the room with the easy to use remote, or you have shades that are in the harder to reach places, motorization is the easiest solution. Many motorized shades require a hardwire installation, but there are also some circumstances where they can operate on battery power. When it comes to the installation of motorized shades, Regency is pleased to inform you of the options for your home.
