Buying a ready-made PC the user bases his choice on the computing capacity of the CPU and graphics card, the amount of system and disk memory and extra features, but is usually limited to a few basic models of the system case. When the user has the PC assembled according to his particular preferences, there are wider opportunities for choosing the system case, yet few people take them. Most users don't pay much attention to the choice of the system case. This approach may be just fine for someone, yet I am often surprised to see balanced high-performance configurations assembled in noisy inexpensive cases that often have cooling-related problems.
But when you are assembling your system with your own hands, you care about the system case you use. People who often upgrade their PCs (gamers, for example) and people who use top-of-the-line components that must be cooled normally are also meticulous about this matter. It is for these user categories that this article is written for.
This roundup covers six completely different system cases from Antec. Founded in 1986, this company is a renowned manufacturer of system cases, power supplies and coolers. Antec's products belong to the midrange and higher price category and may seem expensive. Let's see what is offered for that money, though.
Antec P182
I'll start out with the largest and perhaps the most advanced model in this review. It is called Antec P182.
This system case is splendid, yet stern-looking. The glossy paint of the side panels is especially impressive as these panels are matte in most system cases. Of course, this surface gets easily soiled and scratched, but it is indeed beautiful when clean.
The vent hole of the front fan fits into the design perfectly. It is implemented as a grid surrounding the front panel.
There is a lock in the bottom right of the front panel. It locks the door with the buttons and external bays – a very useful feature if you've got a small child who has a passion for every button he's seeing. A standard selection of connectors is located nearby: a FireWire port, two USB ports, and two audio connectors.
Behind the front door you can see Power and Reset buttons together with a blue Power indicator.
The side panels of the case are not just a sheet of metal but a three-layered sandwich made up from aluminum, plastic and aluminum again. This makes the system case more expensive, but suppresses the noise much better than purely aluminum cases do. When you tap on the P182 with your finger, you hear a dull sound because the panel doesn't resonate in response.
The front door is a three-layered sandwich like the side and top panels and should be as good at suppressing noise, but it has a flimsy fastening mechanism and low rigidity. It can be accidentally damaged or even torn off.
The pair of small doors flips open on your pressing them lightly, providing you access to the filters. You can see no fans, though. The bottom fan is installed behind the HDD cage while the top fan is missing in the default configuration. Anyway, the filters are easy to clean because it takes mere seconds to take them off and put back again.
The side panels lack any vent holes, so I can proceed right to the back panel. The manufacturer has provided two outputs for the pipes for your external liquid cooling system if you've got one. Next you can note the somewhat nonstandard layout of this system case. The power supply is at the bottom while the mainboard (and, accordingly, the back-panel connectors and expansion card brackets) has moved up. The 120mm back-panel fan is placed higher, too.

Coleman ready to break record as city's longest serving mayor
The Columbus Dispatch - December 31, 2013 01:27 PM
He won't get a trophy, but maybe someone will make the mayor a T-shirt: "Columbus: No one's done
it longer." (OK, we'll work on the slogan.)
Michael B. Coleman hits a milestone on Wednesday, beginning his 15th year and becoming the city's longest-serving mayor. He passed M.E. "Jack" Sensenbrenner, who served 14 total years in separate tenures from 1954 to 1960 and 1964 to 1972.
Coleman, 59, is also the country's longest-serving black mayor.
It hasn't always been easy: The Toledo native has endured significant challenges during his tenure, most recently the sound defeat of the Columbus City Schools levy. He also battled two recessions and separated from his wife, Frankie Coleman, in 2009.
But he's seen success, too: Coleman was instrumental in rebuilding Columbus after a successful campaign to raise the city's income tax to 2.5 percent. The region's population continues to grow and the city has received numerous recognitions as one of the most-vibrant cities in the Midwest.
Coleman's close political allies said he plans to run for another term in 2015 and likely again in 2019.

For Immediate Release
January 12, 2010
Suburban Chicago Students Selected for United States Senate Youth Program
Students go to Washington, D.C. in March and will receive $5,000 Scholarship
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education joins Senators Richard J. Durbin and Roland W. Burris in congratulating two Chicago suburban high school students who have been selected as delegates to the 48th Annual United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP) in Washington, D.C. this spring. Hayley Jones of Yorkville High School in Yorkville Consolidated Unit School District 15 and Sidanth Sapru of the Aurora-based Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy were chosen from hundreds of applicants to be among the 104 delegates headed to the nation's capital.
"We commend these extraordinary students, as well as their teachers and parents, for garnering spots in this competitive program," said Christopher A. Koch, State Superintendent of Education. "This opportunity brings history and social studies lessons to life and allows students to see how the democratic process impacts our nation."
The USSYP was created in 1962 and has been sponsored by the Senate and fully funded by The Hearst Foundations. The program aims to instill a more profound knowledge of the American political process and a lifelong commitment to public service.
Each year the competitive, merit-based program brings 104 outstanding high school students — two from each state, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense Education Activity — to Washington, D.C. for an intensive week-long study of the federal government and the people who lead it.
While in Washington March 6-13, the student delegates will attend meetings and briefings with Senate leadership, other Senators and Congressional staff; the President, a Justice of the Supreme Court, leaders of cabinet agencies, an Ambassador to the United States and members of the national media.
Hayley Jones is student council vice president at Yorkville High School. Hayley also serves as vice president of the senior class, treasurer of National Honor Society and secretary of the Illinois Leadership Alumni Board. She attended Illinois Girls State, a citizenship training program of The American Legion Auxiliary. Hayley describes one of her greatest experiences as completing two internships this year, one with her state representative and the other with the city hall's finance department.
Sidanth Sapru is student council president at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. He also serves as president of the Speech Team and was a state finalist in the "Original Oratory" event. Sid testified before the Illinois House of Representatives Budget Appropriations Committee representing his school and its unique educational structure. His goal is to make the world a better place through leadership and public service.
Chosen as alternates to the 2010 program were Una Lim, a resident of Chicago, who attends Northside College Preparatory High School in City of Chicago District 299 and Luke Sailer, a resident of Carmi, who attends Carmi-White County High School in Carmi-White County Consolidated Unit School District 5.
State Superintendents select the delegates after nomination by teachers and principals. In addition to outstanding leadership abilities and a strong commitment to public service, this year's students rank academically in the top one percent of their states.
In addition to the program week, The Hearst Foundations provide each of the 104 student delegates with a $5,000 undergraduate college scholarship with encouragement to continue coursework in government, history and public affairs.
Among the many distinguished former program delegates are Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the first program delegate elected to the Senate; Chief Judge Robert Henry, U.S. Court of Appeals; former Ambassador to West Germany Richard Burt; former Presidential Advisors Thomas "Mack" McLarty, Karl Rove and Governor-Elect for New Jersey Christopher Christie.

President Barack Obama's clarification of his support of same-sex marriage Wednesday, elated Hawaii's gay community.
Braden Morgan and Dalen Wells both work at Kaneohe Marine Base.
Morgan is a marine Sgt. and wells, a civilian staffer.
They were surprised, but pleased, with the news that the president made clear his position on gay marriage.
"I was like. 'Finally, yes!" said Morgan.
The couple made national headlines recently, after posting a homecoming kiss picture on the Internet.They said they can thank Obama for dropping the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy and allowing them the freedom to express themselves like anyone else.
"Being a Marine I will abide by the orders and regulations of any commander-in-chief. if its Obama or Mitt Romney. But I will say personally and --this is my opinion-- this gives more hope for the next four years," Morgan said. "President Obama already had my vote, and there is much more reason for it this year."
"His coming out with marriage equality now surprised me a bit . I thought he would do it after the election. It was nice to see it now, whether it was because of what Joe Biden said or not," said Dalan Wells.
Hawaii Family Forum which has long advocated for marriage as between one man and one woman, was cautious about predicting whether this would help or hurt Obama's re-election chances.
"It is up to the people of Hawaii and of the nation. It is up to them to decide if we want him as our president of the people, and by the people. We will find out in the elections in November," said Al Cardenes of Hawaii Family Forum.
Morgan and Wells said since their homecoming kiss went viral, work is still work, and Morgan still puts on his uniform every morning.
The one difference will come this month when they move to New Orleans, Morgan's new duty station.
The couple planned to attend a meeting Wednesday night with Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and members of the local chapter of Outserve, which was formed to support gay and lesbian military servicemen and women.

My 6 week old son had a doctor's appointment today. He weighs 15lbs and is
24" long. I was told he was in the 95th percentile and breaking all of his records in weight gain. He was born 8lbs 10oz , 21 1/2" and has put on weight fast since the very beginning.
My doctor told us at his first visit that he does not know when to stop eating. I am confused since everyone says that you cannot overfeed a breastfed baby.
He also has lots of gas, stomach pains, explosive poop, and is very fussy.
The past two weeks he's been wanting to eat every 2 hours. Sometimes sooner and sometimes he'll wait longer. He wakes up every 2-3 hours at night for his feeding.
I've given him formula 3 times to see if he would sleep longer (so I can get some rest) and he was hungry again after 3 hours.
My doctor's advice is to pump before feeding him since I have a fast let down. I tried that and he screamed for more so I gave him the other breast. And pumping before feeding him means I have to hear him crying extremely loud to be fed which breaks my heart.
I'm worried because all of the other moms I know have small babies and my baby is wearing 3 months already and will outgrow that very soon. I just want to know that he is going to be okay. That his growing will slow down. That this is not a sign of growth issues.
Do I keep feeding him as he demands and let him feed as long as he wants? Do I try to regulate his feeding?
I'm a first time mom and concerned. Any advice or support would help.

This was a really enjoyable dish. Like one of the previous posters suggested, I marinated the chicken in thai red curry paste (local shop was out of curry paste) for 5 hours. I served it with a mint and garlic raita (found in one of the onion bhaji recipes (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/335606/red-onion-and-chilli-bhajis-wi...)). I will definitely be cooking this again.
My first biryani and I am very happy with the results. I usually make pilafs so I am used to cooking rice by this method. For two, I would reduce the rice to 7ozs to match my 2 chicken breasts and decrease the stock to 600mls. Also, I would add peas for sweetness and texture. I love the balance of heat and spice, for more fragrance, next time, I would throw in 2/3 more cardamoms on top of the 3 stated. I think the overall texture should be a bit drier than it was so if the reduced stock doesn't do the trick then I will put it in the heat for a bit longer. Drawing off the liquid by applying heat creates a really nice crusty bottom which has a superb flavour similar to a paella.
2nd time making it. Loved it. Excellent flavor. I followed the directions exactly but from first time, added a lot more raisins and cut the chicken in smaller pieces. I added a little more stock, being in the USA my chicken stock was in 2 quarts...a little more than the recipe and the rice was perfect when I timed it and cooked in a dutch oven. This is a keeper.
Questions (7)
Hi there,
Thanks for your question. We triple test all of our recipes to ensure you get best results - no rubbery chicken in sight! The recipe suggests cutting the chicken breasts into large chunks, this will ensure you get nice tender chicken as it'll take the designated amount of time to cook through. Enjoy :-)
Hi, essentially, yes. Either use a carton or pouch of ready-made liquid stock (it doesn't need to be diluted) or use concentrated stock paste/powder and make it up according to the directions on the packet. Most concentrated stocks will give you directions for making up 1 litre, so perhaps just follow that and then measure out 850mls.

In urban revival beer creates small business hubsBy TALI ARBEL
The Associated Press | July 05,2013AP Photo
A draft beer rests on the counter in the Beer Hall at the Harpoon Brewery in the Seaport District of Boston. Harpoon expanded to Vermont in 2000 and also has a brewery in Windsor.NEW YORK To see how a small business can transform a neighborhood, just follow the barrels.
About 30 years ago, beer lovers wanting to create their own drinks started taking over abandoned old buildings in rundown city districts, refitted them with tanks, kettles and casks, and started churning out beer. The byproduct was a boom in craft beer drinkers: Barrels shipped have more than doubled in the past decade, according to trade publication Beer Marketers Insights. Craft beer now makes up nearly 7 percent of the slow-growing U.S. beer market.
But beer drinkers werent the only beneficiaries. The arrival of a craft brewery was also often one of the first signs that a neighborhood was changing. From New England to the West Coast, new businesses bubbled up around breweries, drawing young people and creating a vibrant community where families could plant roots and small businesses could thrive.
Brewers typically pay workers more than service businesses like restaurants or shops do. Thats good for local economies.
But for some, the bubbles are bursting. In Brooklyn, N.Y., breweries are feeling the heat from rising real estate costs.
When Brooklyn Brewery opened in the Williamsburg section of the borough in 1996, its neighbors were mostly deserted warehouses and factories. Today, Brooklyn Brewery is surrounded by modern apartment buildings, trendy bars, shops and restaurants. Theres still some graffiti, but that hasnt deterred the influx of new residents willing to spend a lot of money to live there. In the past decade, home values in the Brewerys neighborhood have more than doubled up 145 percent, according to real estate appraiser Miller Samuel.
Rising prices might force Brooklyn Brewery to exit the trendy scene it jump-started. It has two buildings in Williamsburg, the brewery and a building across the street where it stores and ages its beer. Leases are up in 2025, and Brooklyn Brewerys co-founder and president, Steve Hindy, is already worried that the company will get kicked out of its warehouse. Once an iron foundry, the building, built in 1896, has been bought by developers who Hindy says wont renew the lease. He suspects that they want to convert the space into apartments.
The landlord, Solomon Jacobs, says he doesnt yet know whats going to happen with the lease.
But Hindy is already scouting other, cheaper neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
We sowed the seeds of our own demise here, Hindy says.
Outside of New York, costs are lower, and many brewery owners in other cities say they havent felt similar pressures from developers. But New York flashes a warning sign for what can happen when neighborhoods become popular.
One brewery, in Boston, is relatively protected. Harpoon Brewery opened on the South Boston waterfront in 1986, when it was surrounded by auto body shops and little else. Now the brewery draws more than 85,000 people a year from tours and tastings.
Its growth forced Harpoon to expand in 2000 when it bought a brewery in Windsor, Vt., to expand its production.
These days, the city is focused on redeveloping the area. New apartment and office buildings, restaurants and a convention center sit nearby.
Harpoon recently negotiated a 50-year lease with the city. The rent will rise over time, but generally, long leases provide protection from spikes that can happen when an area becomes so popular that property values skyrocket.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Congratulations to our 2012 Alumni Association Award Recipients!
NIC Alumni Association announces 2012 award recipients
The North Idaho College Alumni Association was pleased to honor two longtime NIC employees with the 2012 Outstanding Alumni Awards. Former Director of Activities and NIC alumnus Dean Bennett was selected as the 2012 Alumni of the Year award recipient, and Dean of General Studies Bob Murray was recognized as this year's Honorary Alumnus award recipient. Together they have more than 70 years combined working at NIC and have changed countless lives with their hard work and dedication.
Bennett, who retired this summer after more than 30 years, graduated from NIC in 1976. He led the charge in establishing the Outdoor Pursuits program and the NIC beach hut at Yap-Keehn-Um Beach. Bennett's ability to connect with students is a testament to his young-at-heart attitude and genuine concern for students. He also works very well with faculty and staff members from all over campus, showing an attitude of respect and collaboration that is very appreciated.
Murray began working at NIC in 1971 as a biology instructor and later became the Natural Sciences division chair. He was instrumental in finalizing the vision of the Meyer Health and Sciences building, has been a member of the Curriculum Council for generations, and too numerous committees to count. Murray has always gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a student has a good experience at NIC – whether it's making sure they are on the right track, correcting a mistake, or communicating in a way that eases tension with all.

- Establishing Eligibility
- Maintaining Satisfactory Progress
- Financial Aid Suspension
- Reinstatement of Eligibility (Appeal process)
- Other Information
I. Introduction
The Office of Financial Aid is required by state and federal regulations to monitor the academic progress of every student receiving financial aid to ensure that the students are making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward their degree. A student who is not achieving this goal (according to the student's entire academic history at Evergreen) is not eligible to receive financial aid.
The Financial Aid Office at Evergreen will follow the same eligibility criteria as defined in the course catalogs for each of the advanced programs.
II. Establishing Eligibility
In order to establish initial eligibility for financial aid, students' past academic records are reviewed according to the following guidelines:
A. Students who have never attended Evergreen are considered to be in good standing.
B. Students who have attended Evergreen but who have not received financial aid will have their past academic records at Evergreen reviewed.
These students must meet the same criteria as defined in Part III for maintaining eligibility as those who have been on financial aid.
III. Maintaining Satisfactory Progress
Students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and will be eligible to apply for and receive financial aid as long as the following requirements are met:
A. Minimum Cumulative Percentage
Students must, for federal, state and institutional financial aid eligibility, have completed a minimum of 75% of the total attempted credits in an academic year, defined as the summer, fall, winter and spring quarters in each year. Attempted credits are those credits for which a student is enrolled after the tenth day of each quarter.
B. Minimum Cumulative Credits per Quarter/Year and Maximum Time Frame to Earn a Degree
- MIT (Master in Teaching) students must complete 16 credits per quarter and 48 credits per academic year; they must complete their program in two years. Students who are in good standing and who are granted a leave of absence of one to three quarters must complete the program within three academic years.
- MES (Master of Environmental Studies) students must complete a minimum of 4 credits per quarter and 18 credits per academic year they must complete the required 72 credits in four years.
- MPA (Master of Public Administration) students must complete a minimum of 4 credits per quarter and 12 credits per academic year; they must complete the required 60 credits in six years.
- M.Ed. (Master of Education) students must complete a minimum of 4 credits per quarter with 22* of those credits occurring in the first academic year and 18* of the credits occurring in the second academic year; they must complete the required 40 credits in two years.
*In order to complete the degree requirements of the M.Ed. program, students are required to complete 10 credits in each of the two summer sessions of the program.
C. Maximum Cumulative Credits
Students in any graduate program may not exceed 125% of the maximum number of credits required to earn a degree in their designated graduate program. If a graduate student reaches the 125% maximum attempted credits to complete a degree their financial aid eligibility will be suspended.
D. Qualitative Assessment
As set forth by the Academic Vice President and Provost's Office: The Evergreen State College faculty write comprehensive narrative evaluations for each student, the quality of each individual student's work is covered in detail. Evergreen students are not awarded credit unless they perform at a satisfactory level, which ordinarily we define as "C" level work or better.
For purposes of Financial Aid, students maintain "C" level work if they are earning all of their credit and have not fallen below the 75% completion rate that is monitored on a historical and yearly basis.
IV. Financial Aid Suspension
Since satisfactory progress is monitored once a year at the conclusion of the spring quarter, future financial aid eligibility will be suspended for students who do not maintain progress. Credits from the previous summer will be included in the determination of a student's SAP.
V. Reinstatement of Eligibility (Appeal Process)
A. Students who have had their financial aid eligibility suspended may appeal their case. Appeals must be in writing, to the Financial Aid Professional Judgment Committee. Generally, an appeal should be based on the students' unusual circumstances that prevented them from meeting SAP requirements.
Note: The appeal must be accompanied by a letter of support from at least one of the graduate program faculty members or the Director of the program.
B. Students who have had their financial aid eligibility suspended because they have reached the cumulative credit maximum may appeal their case. The appeal must be in writing to the Financial Aid Professional Judgment Committee and the appeal must be accompanied by a letter from the Director of the graduate program they are attending.
C. If a petition for reinstatement is not granted, then the student may repetition for aid reinstatement upon successful completion of at least one quarter paying on his/her own, without benefit of financial aid funding from Evergreen.
D. If financial aid eligibility is reinstated, then the student will be put in a probationary status for one quarter and the amount of financial aid awarded will be contingent upon the availability of funds. Probationary students who, at the end of the probationary quarter, do not complete the required number of credits during the probationary quarter will be put on financial aid suspension and will be ineligible for further financial aid.
VI. Other Information
A. Incomplete or Outstanding credit is considered NO CREDIT earned. Students with either of these designations at the time SAP is determined will be ineligible to receive financial aid until such time as the incomplete or outstanding credits are completed.
B. Withdrawals or Leaves of Absence begun prior to or during the first week of the quarter are not counted when determining a student's SAP. Withdrawals or Leaves of Absence begun after the tenth day of the quarter will be counted as attempted credits when determining a student's SAP.

LONDON -- Energy companies should not drill for crude oil in Arctic waters because the environmental risks are too high, Total SA Chief Executive Officer Christophe de Margerie told the Financial Times on Wednesday.
The newspaper, which operated behind a pay wall, described de Margerie's comments as the first time a major oil company has publicly criticized offshore exploration in the Arctic.
The risk of an oil spill in such an environmentally sensitive area was simply too high, according to de Margerie.
"Oil on Greenland would be a disaster. A leak would do too much damage to the image of the company," he said.
Earlier this month, Gazprom OAO delayed the start of oil production at its Prirazlomnoye field, the first Russian Arctic offshore oil deposit to be developed, due to safety concerns.
A report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center shows the Arctic's melting ice is resulting in the lowest sea ice levels since satellites started tracking the measurements in 1979. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
The Arctic is seen as a key source in the next decade for Russia, the world's largest oil producer.
Plans to drill for crude in the Arctic have raised concerns among environmental activists, who launched protests last month at the offshore platform that operates the Gazprom project.
Shell admits Arctic drilling defeat, for now
Earlier this month Royal Dutch Shell PLC had to abandon hope of drilling into oil reservoirs in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska after its containment dome was damaged during tests.
Environmentalists pointed to those setbacks as more evidence that offshore drilling in the Arctic is too risky.
Sen. Mark Begich, (D-AK), discusses what a delay in Arctic drilling means for the future of oil prices and exploration in the U.S.
"Letting Shell do top-hole drilling and other preparatory activities when they are clearly not ready to respond to an oil spill is like telling a drunk driver that as long as he stays off the freeway everything should be OK," said Rebecca Noblin, Alaska director of the Center for Biological Diversity, after Shell won approval to carry out additional preliminary drilling off Alaska -- this time in the Beaufort Sea.
More environment news on NBCNews.com
The remoteness, the extreme cold and the threat from ice floes crushing equipment pile more costs on top of those imposed by restrictions on drilling during hunting and breeding seasons and requirements for expensive emergency equipment to be on standby.
And industry executives acknowledge that the economics of Arctic exploration is also shaky.
NYT: China joins nations seeking treasure in warming Arctic
Nevertheless, Shell and other international oil and gas companies are moving into the Arctic because of increasing resource nationalism and dwindling production in their traditional heartlands of the Middle East, South America, the United States, the North Sea and elsewhere.
Persistently high oil prices are also making the huge engineering challenges of working in such a hostile environment look more worthwhile. In addition, the climate change that burning hydrocarbons contributes to has pushed back the ice, opening up access to, and markets for, the hydrocarbons there.
Arctic sea ice reaches new low, shattering record set 3 weeks earlier
The prize of success could be huge. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that some 30 percent of the world's undiscovered natural gas and 13 percent of its oil is waiting to be exploited in the Arctic.

Abraham's conversation with the Lord is a beautiful example of what prayer is all about.
Prayer is standing humble before God. It is acknowledging who we are and where we have been.
Abraham is mustering enough courage to argue with, or plead with the Lord, to relent from the impending punishment he was going to bring about. And when we realize that he is doing this not for himself, but for others, we understand the extent of his humility.
Abraham knows who he is, and the path that he has travelled in his reaching the place of closeness with God. He knows he has had his share of failures, doubts and revolts in his life when it comes to his trust in God. And yet he has grown through all of it and has reached the point of winning God's favor. He stands in good stead, when it comes to following God, but it is others that he is worried about, concerned about.
Abraham knows that just as he has had his trials and failures in following God, the people who are about to be punished may also have had theirs, and are found to be wanting. He does not look at them with contempt, springing out of a false sense of righteousness. He was indeed a just man, but that did not make him contemptuous, but only made him that much more humble. He plead their case with great concern, and God relents.
Prayer is standing humble before God, as I mentioned earlier. Abraham does exactly that. The very fact that he is not asking the Lord to punish them, shows that he is not judging them.
This non-judgmental attitude is the result of his awareness of his own sinfulness. What we require in prayer is this simplicity and humility as a result of self-awareness.
Every time we pray that others be punished, we are having a false sense of righteousness, every time we judge others, we become self-righteous. Prayer has to make us aware of our own unworthiness, it has to help us acquire a bit of that compassionate heart of God. Prayer therefore, is to stand humble before God, acknowledging our need for conversion, rather than look on others with contempt.
Thus every time we show compassion, we are praying; a sort of prayer in action!

Oh baby! Doctors around North Texas are experiencing a baby boom.
Baylor Medical Center reportedly saw 50 more deliveries in July than last year. And plenty of women are pregnant and ready to deliver in the next few weeks.
"They're a lot of storks up in our neighborhood," first-time father John Carter said. "In fact, neighbors across the street were up here having a baby two days before us."
Sept. 5 has apparently been declared 'D-day,' and all of these deliveries can be blamed on last year's ice storm. North Texans can remember being snuggled under the covers to stay warm when the storm hit on Dec. 5.
Stuck at home with nothing to do -- you do the math.
So now that bellies are at full bloom, what are hospitals doing to prepare for the baby melee?
"In looking in comparison to our summer months and the winter months that we've had, we actually staff up in our core staffing to be able to accommodate for the number of patients that are coming in to deliver their babies," Shawna Robertson said. Robertson is a labor and delivery nurse at Baylor Medical Center.
Well, brace yourself for what's to come, because there's no returning these special deliveries.

Burlington mall to be sold, redeveloped
BURLINGTON The Burlington Town Center mall is going to be bought and redeveloped by two principals, one of whom grew up in Burlington, the malls general manager said Friday.
The mall has been owned by Chicago-based General Growth Properties for more than seven years.
General Manager Mathew Chabot told the City Council on Thursday that the mall is being bought by owners with very strong ties to the area.
Mayor Miro Weinberger said Friday he had met the prospective new owners of the mall, located near the north end of the Church Street pedestrian area along Cherry Street.
The plans, as far as I know, are fairly preliminary, the mayor said. I will say if this all unfolds as I believe the new buyers are planning, its exciting for the city. It will be a transformational change for Cherry Street, something that has been a goal of the city for some time.
Chabot told the Burlington Free Press on Friday that the current owner of the mall put out a request for proposals to buy it in August 2012. The company took the mall off the market in January before entering into the deal that resulted in its sale, he said.
The sale is under contract to close Dec. 16, Chabot said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Normally, Heatherly's company—Barkclad Natural Products— has June and July to bring in the bark it sells throughout the year to people who love the rustic look that poplar gives their homes. But so much rain fell that he and the dozen employees and contractors Barkclad works with had just half the time to get the bark.
Barkclad, a member of the Western North Carolina Green Building Council, is one of a very small handful of poplar bark suppliers in North Carolina. Based in Bethel, it's a growing business that supplies bark shingles and panels for the mostly high-end mountain and lake home-building industry. Several years old, Barkclad has shipped bark to every state except Hawaii. It gets nearly all of its wood from North Carolina.
The forests of Western North Carolina are full of poplars, ramrod-straight hardwoods that can soar into a canopy's upper reaches before jutting out the first branch. Its bark clad the homes of Cherokee Indians centuries ago and by the early 1900s became a coveted siding for mountain homes in the Blowing Rock and Linville areas. Summer camps used poplar to wrap chapels and chow halls as the siding moved into the public domain. High Hampton Inn & Country Club in Cashiers is sided in it. Poplar bark's rugged looks and durability have made it popular again.
Lined with ridges and valleys, strafed with moss and lichen, poplar produces panels as unique as fingerprints. No two pieces are the same, resulting in a siding that looks alive and natural on the mountain rustic homes it wraps.
Barkclad's work is done in early summer because the bark is pliable and easily peeled. Heatherly, a second-generation timber harvester, contracts with timber companies for the bark on the poplars they take down. His people do their work, muddy and hot, in the woods before the trees are dragged and scarred. Using chainsaws, they score the bark up the length of the tree, then cut it 4-foot sections. If the tree is tall enough and the bark thick enough, they'll cut longer sections — premium siding that brings a higher price.
Barkclad sells three gauges of bark. Bark that is at least three-quarters of an inch thick is used on the outside, and bark thicker than that costs more because it's tougher and more rugged looking. Bark thinner than three-quarters of an inch is used on the inside of a house.
Heatherly's business partner, Brian Summers, gave a visitor a tour of the company's wood yard in Bethel recently.
"There's not much to see now," he said at the start of a cold, blustery day. But in July, the yard was "absolutely covered" with pallets of bark, he said. The crews that stacked the pallets, alternating bark with slats to add drying, included Heatherly's wife and three children. Everyone worked insanely hard during the shortened season.
The pallets, topped with concrete blocks to keep the bark from curling, were moved into the yard's kiln, where they dried for days. Once the bark was cured, Heatherly cut the sheets into 18-, 24- and 36-inch lengths.
Heatherly grew up in Haywood County. He's been in the timber business more than 24 years and got into the bark business by selling the bark he took off the poplars he timbered. He brought Summers in as a business partner in April because Summers had experience helping people bring products to market. Heatherly had a product he wanted to bring to market. And it wasn't poplar bark.
Summers grew up in Oxford, Penn., a small community full of hardworking people in Amish country between Lancaster and Philadelphia. Bethel and Canton remind him of home.
"There's a heritage of hard work that people appreciate here. There was a time when you could do business on a handshake. That's the kind of guy Danny is," he said of Heatherly. "He's going to do what he says he's going to do. The day he shook my hand and said we're partners, we were partners. I appreciate his integrity."
Summers pointed to Heatherly's house, at the edge of the wood yard. The house is clad in what Barkclad believes is its future, the product Heatherly brought Summers on to sell – an engineered siding that looks remarkably like poplar bark. Made of a high-density polyurethane blend that uses 80 percent recycled materials, the product has the same ridges and valleys that natural bark does. It's made in Salisbury, as are Barkclad's new poplar-like roof shingles made from 100 percent recycled materials.
Looking at the Heatherly house from the wood yard, you'd never know the siding is engineered. And even up close, the shingles look like the real thing, the result of some clever design and craftily engineered injection molding.
"This is our sustainable answer to bark siding," Summers said as he pulled out a box of the panels. Poplars may abound in the WNC forests, but getting bark out and processed is hard and expensive. And the weather can be iffy, as this summer proved. The engineered product is easier to make and lasts even longer than the long-wearing bark, Summers said.
"If natural bark is not perfectly installed, it can crack, curl, bleach, darken or expand," Summers said. "The engineered bark doesn't do any of those things. Most building supply companies that I talk to say the engineered bark will take over natural bark one day. This is where the bark market is going."

A shoe can literally change everything. For a designer, the shape and height of the shoe define the silhouette. For everyone, it expresses a personal style.

Betty's Fine Food & Spirits
680 N. High St., Short North
Web: bettyscolumbus.com
You've got an interesting new romantic prospect, a first date is looming and the pressure's on. According to Best of Columbus voters, there's no better place to go in this scenario than Betty's. Once you've been, the reasons are obvious.
The flagship eatery of Tip Top and Surly Girl restaurateur Elizabeth Lessner, Betty's is unpretentious and friendly, even on a packed Saturday night. Not a single, high-quality entree on the comfort food-laden menu will stretch your bank account, much less break it.
To loosen things up, share an appetizer of Steve's Afternoon Delight - homemade potato chips done up like nachos. If you're feeling forward, you could suggest splitting one of several dinner plates that are too huge for one, like Marge's Meatloaf or the sensational Parmesan Herb-Crusted Pork Loin.
And if making a meal's worth of get-to-know-you chat is worrisome, Betty's comes to the rescue with a design scheme ripe for free association: vintage pin-ups all over the walls, shelves bedecked with ceramic dogs, gender-themed restrooms custom-painted by Bryan Grey and large front windows for Short North people watching. The bar staff can hook you up with additional conversation lubricants, but remember moderation on your first date, because even a place this fabulous can't make a sloppy drunk look good.
Runners up: North Market, Morton's The Steakhouse

According to Goliad County Sheriff Kirby Brumby, two men were apprehended Tuesday shortly after a Chevrolet Trailblazer was pulled over by GCSO Deputy Brandon Gall on State Highway 239 at approximately 2:45 p.m. about a mile east of U.S. Highway 183.
Five men fled the vehicle and four carried bundles of marijuana through a barbed-wire fence before dropping the marijuana approximately 50 feet from the roadway. They then fled into the nearby brush.
"All I did was catch up to the vehicle to try to see the vehicle's license plate," Gall said. "When they saw me, the vehicle sped up to speeds in excess of 100 mph. He stopped right here and five of them jumped out and pulled the bundles of what I believe to be marijuana out of the vehicle and tried to get over the fence with it."
Gall said he chased the men until they dropped all the bundles of marijuana.
"I chased them about 100 yards," Gall said. "Once the last person dropped the last bundle, I pulled all the bundles back here to a safe location."
A DPS chopper, four-wheelers, scent dogs and mounted horses were being used in the search.
Brumby said Wednesday that the two in custody will be charged with possession of marijuana. The vehicle is from the Houston area.

If your federal AGI included gain that was from either:

property that was held in connection with mines, oil or gas wells, and other natural deposits and that had a higher adjusted basis for NYS income tax purposes than for federal tax purposes when sold; then include the lesser of the gain itself or the difference in the adjusted bases.

You may carry over excess expenditures you incurred in taxable years beginning before 1987 in connection with depreciable, tangible business property located in New York State to the following tax year or years, and deduct such expenditures in computing your New York AGI for that year or years, if the expenditures exceed your New York AGI for that year before the allowance of those expenditures.

Gain to be Subtracted From the Sale of a New Business Investment Reported on your Federal Income Tax Return (S-114)

If you disposed of property in the tax year that was depreciated for federal purposes using ACRS, and if your total federal ACRS deduction exceeds your New York depreciation deduction for that property, then complete Part 2 of Form IT-399, New York State Depreciation Schedule, to compute the amount to include.
S Corporation Shareholders (S-301)
If you reported a federal gain or loss because of the disposition of stock or indebtedness of an S corporation, and if that S corporation was a New York C corporation for any tax year beginning after December 31, 1980 (in the case of a corporation taxable under Article 9-A, general business corporation tax), or December 31, 1996 (in the case of a corporation taxable under Article 32, banking corporation franchise tax), then include the reduction in basis of the stock or indebtedness that is due to the application of IRC section 1376(b) (as in effect for tax years beginning before January 1, 1983) and 1367(a)(2)(B) and (C) for each tax year that the New York election was not in effect.
