The newspaper industry last night proposed radical reform of the regulation of the press, including fines of up to £1m for titles found to have committed breaches of ethical standards.
In a detailed submission to Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into the media, Lord Black of Brentwood, the chairman of the Press Standards Board of Finance (Pressbof), set out plans for greater involvement of the public in assessing the behaviour of newspapers. The intention is to create a regulatory body with investigative powers and greater independence than the current Press Complaints Commission (PCC).
The newspaper industry hopes that Lord Justice Leveson will be persuaded that such a model is preferable to any form of state regulation. "There will be no role for Government or Parliament as that would be unacceptable in a system of self-regulation," Lord Black said in his submission.
A new regulator would have the teeth of an investigations and compliance panel, on which public members would outnumber newspaper editors by a ratio of two to one. A complaints committee, dealing with less serious ethical breaches, would be comprised of eight members of the public and five editors.
Pressbof is the industry body that funds the PCC, although Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell, publishers of the Daily Express and the Daily Star, does not contribute. In place of the PCC, the industry proposes "a wholly new system of independently led self-regulation". Lord Black's submission said: "It is an entirely different structure which will be tougher, more effective, more independent and above all future-proof to take account of the rapidly changing face of the media."
The new regulator would be overseen by a trust board with a majority of independent public members. The board will be able to impose fines up to a cap of £1m when a publisher is found to have been responsible for a "serious breakdown in ethics or internal governance".
Lord Justice Leveson also received submissions yesterday from Lord Hunt, chairman of the PCC, and Paul Dacre, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail, who made a series of proposals in his capacity as chairman of the PCC's Editors' Code Committee.
Mr Dacre suggested some similar measures for increasing the independence of the regulator, including a "standing presidium of independent experts", including those with backgrounds in the police and judiciary, to carry out investigations into serious breaches.
He also supports a complaints committee with a majority of public members, civil contracts and kitemarks for newspapers who sign up to the future regulator and a strict system of issuing press cards to journalists who are bound by ethical standards. He said his proposals would amount to "the toughest press regulatory body in the free world".
In a warning on the dangers of over-regulation, Mr Dacre painted a picture of a weakened press industry, saying that the combined worth of all the newspapers in Britain and America was less than that of Facebook.Reuse content

Azealia Banks is back doing what she does best….Tweeting. Rap's queen of ranting is back on attack mode, this time reacting, or overreacting as a result of the MTV VMAs. The Harlem native is criticizing some of pop's biggest names for biting downtown NYC culture.
With the MTV VMAs headlined by Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift making up and the former's pressing Miley Cyrus with an aggressive "What's Good" on live television, it appears Azealia Banks wasn't exactly feeling the award show in general. Check out her tweets dissing Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus.

Elena. - Rushing Thoughts.Mature
"I don't need to learn to fight." I say, my arms across my chest. Brett rollshis eyes at me.
"You're too easyto work out. And you're weak." I ball my fists and electrcity sparks around me. "You need to learn to control your emotions." I growl and got to punch him. He catches my hand easily and pushes me against the tree.
He is close to me,making sure I can't move. "See what I mean. Weak." I growl and headbut him. He lets go of me and falls back. He looks back at me and smiles. I scowl at him with my purple eyes.
I can tell others are in the woods. It's that girl Mistle and the Blade. Their thoughtsrush into my head so fast it hurts like hell. I scream out in pain. Oh god, why does this hurt? Brett comes closer to me and puts his hands on my face, blocking out the thoughts.
I close my eyes and sigh with relief.
I open my eyes to find Breets face close to mine, his eyes closed. He quickly moves away. "Hit me." He says, getting ready for a fight. I sigh as I hear the thoughts getting closer. "Hit me and I'll make the thoughts go away again." I scowl at him but do as he says.

As head industrial designer at Apple from 1989 to 1996, Robert Brunner developed the original Macintosh PowerBook. Today, the San Francisco resident is CEO of product design and brand consultancy at Ammunition and co-founder of outdoor-grill maker Fuego. The winner of many awards for his work - which sits in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art - Mr. Brunner has collaborated with Microsoft and Nike. He also co-wrote the 2008 book Do You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your Company.
What fundamental principles guide your work?
Simplicity, appropriateness, beauty and - for lack of a better word - drama. I like to create things that are iconic and stand out, and that excite and interest people.
What is the leading edge of design thinking? What big problems or ideas are the brightest people grappling with?
"Design thinking" has become a loaded phrase of late. I tend to work in two big areas. One is the ongoing march of technology into our lives. What does that mean to us as humans and how do we interact with it, and what does it look like and feel like? The other one, which of course has become an issue in the last decade, is sustainability. I've spent some time looking at what I call trying to make bad better. We're looking at the material and process impact of the things we make and trying to make it less bad.
Design-wise, is this an enlightened age?
Most of the time, I'm dealing with the top leaders of companies and talking about how design fits into their business. I think right now is the golden age for industrial designers - unlike it's ever been before.
What bothers you about industrial design today?
We just make too much crap. Walking down the aisles of the Consumer Electronics Show, I feel nauseous because there's just gadget after gadget after gadget after gadget, all doing the same things, all trying to look different, many of them with debatable value to begin with. What I try to do is stay focused on just making good things - good visually but also functionally - that have life and have value so they're not discarded in a few months.
Where do you get your best ideas, and how much does travel inform what you do?
It's funny, because I was in Taiwan meeting with our manufacturer, and we had decided we needed to do a low-cost product. I went back to my hotel and I went to the bathroom - I'd already been in there 10 times - and I looked down and there was this beautiful conical sink sitting on a cylindrical pedestal. And it was just like, "Boom - that's a fantastic barbeque."
How big a role does serendipity play in new or remarkable designs?
Serendipity is important, but you have to have your eyes open. When my team and I explore something, we try and stay open as long as possible, because many times the really cool stuff comes out of an accident or some small observation. Design at its best is a discovery. If you do the same things that people did before, you're not innovating. And I think that's one of the challenges with consumer research. If great design existed in research, there'd be more great design, because anybody can do research. The opportunity is there but the answers aren't, because people focus on what they know. And if you ask somebody what they like, they'll tell you what they like today. The real innovations happen when you look beyond that.
What did you learn when you worked at Apple? How has that influenced what you do today?
I learned to understand the phrase "design and strategy," and really building a business strategy around great design and building a brand. A lot of what I do today is not just creating individual things but helping companies learn to be better-designed companies.
In your book, you argue that design is crucial to customer experience and overall business success. Why do so few global brands use design well?
I always say that if you look at the number of true design-driven companies in the world, you can usually count them on two hands. There are plenty of smaller organizations that do it very well in individual products. But to be an Apple, a BMW, a Nike - someone consistently doing it - it takes a culture focused on that, and cultures don't happen overnight. And in many cases, it takes individuals with vision and the willingness to push and do things right, and those are rare as well. In the book, I coin the phrase "chief experience officer." At its best, that is also your chief executive officer who's driving the vision of the design experience.
Do you have any advice for companies that are trying to develop a better relationship with design? How can they get away from the narrow definition of design as product?
Companies need to understand what their brand is and what it's about, and a brand is not the elements that they create. A brand is the gut feeling that all this stuff creates for their audience. And so when you understand that your brand lives in other people's hearts and you can't control that - you can only influence it - you start to look at how to design that experience and work it back through the company and get all the pieces right.
What does the future hold for industrial design?
We have to continue down this path of making the materials and processes that we employ the best we can. The other thing is looking at how design can help people make choices that are better for the environment. As a species, we don't like to do anything that's hard. It's natural - we tend to go to things we like. So the more designers can package things that are good for the planet in ways that people like, the more you start to influence the way people behave. It's that simple.Report Typo/Error

Not What it Seems to Be
I followed Dylan after I saw him leave the barbecue. I was worried about him and I knew that I owed him an explanation. When I heard him scream in anger before jumping into the ocean, I thought that if anything happened to him I'd be lost.
Now he is kissing me and wrapping me in his wet arms. I often wondered what it would be like to kiss him again, under different circumstances. I often thought that he would never forgive me for leaving him.
I cherish the touch of his lips on mine and I grab onto him, keeping him close to me. I take in the scent of his cologne and the feel of his curly hair on my cheek. Then I feel a jerk in his back, straightening out and his arms seem to harden under my touch. My eyes are closed as I kiss him, but they open slowly in surprise as he suddenly pulls away.
"Dyl?" I ask, looking up at his frustrated brown eyes. "What's wrong?"
"You left me without a word," he whispers. I search his face, confused at what to say. "You never called, never contacted me."
"I know," I say, shaking my head. "I know, It was just--"
"Just what?" Dylan interrupts and I flinch at the anger in his voice. "You left me Ly."
His anger rips through me and I feel tears streaming down my face before I can stop them. I touch his cheek, so warm from his emotions, but he takes my hand away.
"Dyl," I say, hurt by his rejection. "I told you I would explain."
"Then what?" he asks through clenched teeth. He is still close to me, but his hands are no longer around my waist. "Then everything will be okay? We can go back in time?"
"No," I shake my head, tears blurring my eyes, "no Dyl, I--"
"Ly, it's good to see you again, but I can't," he says moving away from me. "I can't."
"We were ten, but now we're seventeen." He is turning away from me to go back to his clothes. I continue to shake my head, clearing away my hurt thoughts and tears. "We have nothing Ly."
"Look, things were complicated then and they still are now," I walk towards him as he bends down to pick up his things. "I had to go."
He sighs and I watch his tall frame sag. His muscular back clenches and relaxes with his restrained emotions. I never thought that the wiry Dylan I knew so long ago could become this muscular giant. "I know," he says finally. I stop and wait for him to turn around. I miss his smile and laugh, two things I'm afraid to never see again. "But so do I."
I watch him silently as he walks past me without meeting my eyes. I wait until he is out of sight for the pain to take over. I sag down to the sand and feel its rough texture against my legs as I begin to cry quietly. When I first saw him at the barbecue, I knew he was hurting. I knew he would be conflicted.
I just never thought I would be this conflicted too.

Some issues to note are that: - the JDBC driver still isn't in the main maven repository, although I am hoping that this will happen soon, as it's been on the list for ages. - The unit tests take a long time to run (several hours) - we've looked into this and not really been able to speed it up. It seems to take a long time in the mapping tool and there are also some performance issues with the JDBC driver in other areas I hope that it's otherwise ok; perhaps people might be able to offer their thoughts on how to improve it.

The Dream
A girl wakes to find a creature in her room. It tells her that she is needed to save the universe from being thrown into chaos! Can she do it?
It was nine when I went to bed that night, and for a teenager that would probably be considered early, so, needless to say, I was pooped; tired beyond all reasoning. I had flopped down, pulling the covers up to my chin, completely enfolding my sleep-cami-and-shorts-wearing body. I had been asleep for awhile when I had the weirdest dream: I dreamed that I had been woke up by this flickering light, something shaking my shoulder, and this extremely annoying voice that was whining in my ear about how "something was messed up" and that "I needed to wake up... NOW!" My eyes fluttered open, and upon focusing, a small figure came in to view. It was floating mid-air and chattering to itself incessantly, pulling at the little flight-suit thing that it wore and wringing its little bluish hands. As I sat up, it took notice of me.
"Ahh, finally! You're up!" It fluttered closer to me via tiny, sparkling, blurred wings and hovered not a foot above my lap. "Now," he -I guessed- continued, "We don't have much time, so I'm not going to explain everything, but I need your help!"
"What the heck?" I cocked an eyebrow. "What in the world are you?"
"Why do you need to know?" He countered, obviously flustered. "I said that we don't have the time! Don't you get it?"
He babbled on.
"Okay! Okay!" I said, trying to get him to shut up. "I just wanted to know who you are!"
He froze, and offered a hand, calmly, as if he had been this way the whole time. "My name is Bert, Bert Batoo, at your service ma'am..."
I shook Bert's hand cautiously and replied, "Andria, Andria Raimes.... at yours...?"
"Good... So you're willing to help?" He smiled, showing perfectly white teeth, a sharp contrast to his bluish skin.
"...Uh... What with?"
"Why, the saving of the universe of course!"
"Uh, Sure...!" I answered with a half smile, thinking, hey, I've never had a dream of saving the universe. Why not?
Bert sighed, his little shoulders sinking a half-inch. "Good. Alright then, there's no time to lose; lets go!" He grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me from my bed.
"Hey, hey! What do we have to do?" I screeched at him.
He sighed, and I could have sworn that he mumbled something under his breath about "humans." "Look, the universe is about to be flung into chaos, and if we don't complete the tasks before midnight, it'll all be mixed up and goofy and there'll be nothing that we can do about it!" His voice rose to a crescendo at this point.
"What tasks?" I said, thinking that Bert was "a little off his rocker" if you know what I mean.
"There are two random tasks across this country that must be completed before midnight. One on the east coast, one on the west, and then we have to get back to the exact center point between them -here, in Missouri I think. I'm not completely sure, but I'll be getting a text message from the office about the info for them as we go..." He pulled about a mini cell phone as if to prove his point.
"Oookaay," I said slowly, trying to humor him, "then lets go..."
"Alrighty now, if you'll just take this here thingy," Bert handed me a small metal trinket on a chain and motioned for me to put it on around my neck, "it'll allow for side-along flying -just as long as you hold on to this tether attached to my harness-"
"Wait!" I broke in standing up to face him, "I can't go like this!" I motioned to my scant apparel.
"And why not?" He put a hand on his hip and glared at me.
"I-I can't be seen dressed like this! I look like a skank!"
Bert chuckled. "Gees..."
"Can I just throw some jeans on first?" I started rummaging through the mixed piles of clean and dirty clothes situated around my room.
He looked at the digital clock next to my bed. "No! It's ten forty-five! We don't have much time!"
"Just hold on- I can fix ya up there, if you have to have different clothes!" He pulled out this little wand thingy and waved it at me. Suddenly, I was clothed in a shimmering outfit of white (similar to Bert's clothing, only what I wore was a more feminine version), my hair was pulled up in a bun, and on my feet were a pair of crystal glass slippers. I was looking not unlike Cinderella at this moment. Sweet dream! I thought.
He zoomed over and clipped a length of rope onto my harness, connecting me to him. We moved to the open window, and suddenly with a quick motion, we were outside my house, over twenty feet off the ground. I screamed both in fear and in excitement as we swiftly gained height and soared right over my neighbors' house. I was surprised that Bert's little wings could carry us like this, but I flew just as he did, not hanging below, but at the same level as he.
"Where do we have to go first?" I screamed over the rush of air. We were now about 300 feet over the ground.
He looked at me over his shoulder. "I'm getting a text now...! It looks like we're going to have to be teleported there by the network; hold on!"
"To what?" I yelled back and then suddenly we were zooming through this miniscule tunnel of colors and air that swooshed past like one of those port keys in Harry Potter. I screamed as Bert just laughed. (It was a weird dream, one that felt eerily real. You know what I mean? It was one of those where you were thinking the whole time: Man, what did I eat before bed?) Then, with a big boom, not unlike a sonic, were emerged and were flying as if we had been hovering over this green lawn for ages.
"Where are we?" I yelled at Bert.
"Um.... I don't know... I think that this is your peoples' capital? Right?"
I then looked down and realized that we were flying directly over the White House's front lawn!
"What are we doing here, Bert?" I screamed.
"Completing the first task!" He huffed in frustration.
"Well, duh!" I said. "But-"
"Just shut up and c'mon! It'll all be over before ya know it!"
I just shut up and hoped that he was right. Even if it were just a dream, I didn't want to get caught within restricted airspace, in airplane or not. That would be all that I needed; a mark on my record for an attempted terrorist attack on the White House itself! Wait.... this is only a dream. Never mind. ANYWAY! Bert led me down closer and closer to the building and before long we were directly in front of a window, where, inside, I could see a sleeping girl. Bert edged the window open as I balanced on the windowsill, literally hanging on for dear life. We slipped inside without incident (unless you count me bumping my head on the way in), and I stood, almost cowering in fear of the secret service bounding in at any moment, next to Bert who studied the miniature cell phone in his hand.
"Okay," He whispered, "They say that we have to give the President's daughter money."
"What?" I whispered so loudly by accident that the girl sleeping in the bed near the wall stirred and rolled over onto her side. "Like she needs any..." I spoke much lower this time as I surveyed the opulent room filled with toys and gadgets that I could only have dreamt of when I was this girl's age.
"Hey," Bert fixed me with a stern glare, "I don't make the tasks, I just follow them, 'kay?"
"Okay, fine, sorry... Alright then..." I sighed. "Sooooo.... we have to give her money?"
"Yup, that's right. You got any?"
"Nooo; it's not like I go to bed with change in my pocket in case I need to make a call. So, unless you've stashed some cash in this here suit-"
"Are you the Tooth Fairy?" A small voice broke in. Apparently our conversation woke the girl; she was sitting up in bed, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Uh..." I stuttered, "Yeeaahh...? Right... Bert?" I looked to him for help.
"Yes," He supplied, "Yes, she's the Tooth Fairy..."
"Uh-huh!" I said enthusiastically. "And this here-" (I indicated Bert) "-is my assistant, Bert!"
He bowed and threw a salute the young girl's way. "Yes, your presidential-daughter-ness... We're here to... uh, give you money... for your, uh, tooth...?"
"Yes!" I smiled. The little girl smiled back.
"Wow... I didn't know if you were really real! This'll show Tommy!" She dived under her pillow and procured a small bit of white and joyously handed it to me.
"Alrighty then," I said palming the tooth, "Bert, if you'd get the money that little miss... uh-"
"Tammy," She supplied.
"Yes, uh, Tammy... that Tammy gets for this little tooth here."
"Yeah... uh," Bert muttered as he frantically rummaged through the pockets of his tiny flight suit. "I don't, I don't have any change on me..."
I sighed exaggeratedly, "You have a wand, dummy! Can you not use that?"
"Well, uh, I guess so-" then he added under his breath "But it'll be counterfeit. She won't be able to spend it."
"That's okay; do you really think that she gives tender in change?"
Bert chuckled and with a swish of his wand, a small half-dollar piece settled into Tammy's waiting hands.
"Okay," I said to her, bending down and ruffling her hair familiarly, "Now, you be a good girl, but don't tell anybody that you saw us here; we're not suppose to show ourselves to big girls like you..." She nodded her head and smiled at the half-dollar as we moved towards the open window.
"Oh, and, uh, don't forget to brush!" I added as we slipped away once more into the night.
The little girl still stood at her window, waving at us. I waved back until she was out of my sight. "So," I hollered up at Bert, "Another trip through the 'network' is it?"
And then we were zooming through again. This time, it wasn't as gut wrenching or terrifying as the first. (It also took a bit longer.) I spread my arms out and enjoyed the ride, corkscrewing dangerously fast, and soaring through the blur feeling as if I were experiencing "light speed" like in Star Wars (minus the Millennium Falcon, of course). It was awesome; the most awesome dream that I had ever had! And then, we were back in the universe that I knew; only the place we were hovering over now was somewhere that I didn't know. The sun was just setting here, and the city lights were already bright.
"What time is it now, Bert?" I asked, taking in this new place with great fascination.
He looked at his watch; "Uh... Central Standard Time: eleven thirty on the nose! We'd better get goin'!"
I nodded to myself then queried: "Hey, where are we?"
"Beverly Hills, California, I believe!"
"Cool. Now what?"
"I'm getting a text right now," He observed the little phone in his hand. "Umm. Somethin' to do with Paris Hilton..." (Only he pronounced it: "Payriz Hiltone.)
I smiled at his mispronunciation.
Soon we were hovering above this beautiful condo that I knew was none other than Ms. Hilton's. It had a large built-in pool in the backyard (like every other house surrounding it), and I knew that if I toured the whole house, I'd probably find a hot tub, and spa in the bathroom. I hated rich people right now. Especially people like this who did ABSOLUTELY NO REAL WORK to get their money. They were just the ones with the rich daddies. Icky.
Anyway, we soared lower, trying our best to stay concealed. I bet that the National Inquirer would have a heyday if we were spotted.
A jolt went through my body as we touched down on the green sod lawn. My knees buckled and then I nearly fell.
Bert laughed at me. "Newbie..."
I shook myself off and pretended that I meant to do it. Yes, of course, why couldn't someone fall flat on their face if they want to? I mean, everyone does it! Why not try to do it on purpose? Okay, I know that my "act" was less than convincing, but hey, I still have my pride. Right?
I trudged across the lawn behind Bert to the French-doors in the back. He flung them open with a wave of his wand and we were inside, without even the tiniest security system difficulties. Up the grand staircases into Ms. Hilton's room we went. She was asleep (More like passed out. She wouldn't have been asleep right now if it had been otherwise. Whatever; this wouldn't make perfect sense anyway, it's a dream, remember.), on her bed, all tangled up in a sheet with her day clothes still on.
She was snoring loudly.
"What do we have to do?" I half whispered and mimed to Bert. He looked again at his little cell, and he made a chopping scissors-like motion with the index and middle fingers of his free hand.
I cocked my head at him. "What?"
He sighed and rolled his eyes at me and reached into a rather large cargo pocket on his side and pulled out a pair of scissors. He mimed cutting my hair with them, and then pointed at Paris (Who was still snoring rather loudly).
I pointed at Paris (she was now muttering something I couldn't make out.), making sure that I understood Bert properly. You want me to cut her hair? I gestured. Bert nodded. I shrugged. Okay, I thought, taking the scissors from him, here goes nothin'! I edged closer to the bed and the sleeping "Heiress" in it, wondering why Bert would have a pair of scissors on his person. I was tenderly fingered a lock of her hair, getting ready to chop the bleached-blonde tress when Paris snorted and lifted her head. She stared at me with blurry eyes and mumbled something. I looked to Bert for guidance, but he just shrugged at me. I snipped the bit of hair off quickly as Paris's eyes cleared and she mumbled at me again, this time I could understand her even beyond the slurring:
"I like your outfit... it's... hot..." And then her head dropped and she started snoring again.
I almost laughed out loud.
"Okay, we're done. Come on," I said to Bert started walking out of the room. "Let's go home."
I woke up the next morning, slapped the switch the alarm on my digital clock off, and ventured downstairs, thinking about the dream I had the night before. Normally I never remember the dreams that I have. But this one just stuck with me and I couldn't get it out of my head even while I ate breakfast. After I had eaten and gotten dressed for school, I turned on the TV to see what the weather was going to be like while I decided whether or not to bring a jacket to school with me. I flipped the channel to Fox 2 News and waited for the Meteorologist's "made up" forecast. Right now there was some report about how the president had signed a bill proclaiming free dental care for all Americans this morning.
Funny, I thought, thinking about the part of my dream concerning Mr. President's daughter.
I flipped the channel again to some Celebrity Gossip show. There was some typical stuff about some star "assaulting" the paparazzi, So-and-so broke up with so-and-so again, blah, blah, blah, some other meaningless stuff, and then a segment about Paris Hilton's new style. A picture flashed up on the screen of her in an all white outfit with a bizarre hairdo. Her blonde locks were choppy and messy like she had taken some scissors to her own head.
My jaw actually fell, and I felt a strange sense of Déjà vu come over me.
Before I had much more time to ponder this, my mom yelled at me from upstairs about how I was going to miss the bus. So, I ran up the stairs taking 2 at a time and zoomed into my room to grab my shoes and backpack. I stumbled over my dirty clothes and fell... on something hard. I wanted to cuss in three different languages, but I restrained myself as I got back to my feet. I scrabled throught the various detritus for my stuff and whatever it was that I fell on. After a miute I found my Converse, and bag, and... This time, my jaw hit the floor.
Crystal glass slippers!
Oh, my gosh! How did these get here? HOW?
I sat for a moment agape at what had just happened.
It was only a dream...Or...maybe it WASN'T!
Suddenly, it all came to me. Maybe that was why it all seemed so real. Maybe that was why I felt so tired this morning. Maybe-
This time from downstairs, Mom yelled again.
"I'M COMING!" I replied.
I jumped up and hid the slippers in my closet, spun around to grab my bag when- a blue blur outside my window caught my eye.
Again Mom yelled, her "last warning" and I gave up and ran down the stairs.
Maybe it was just a trick of the light. Maybe it was just a car driving past. Maybe-
Maybe I was just dreaming again.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant today reminded West Virginians that effective this general election, eligible voters who intend to vote for all candidates in a single party should individually select each candidate on the ballot.
During the 2015 legislative session, lawmakers passed SB 249, which eliminated "straight-ticket" voting. Voters will no longer be able to vote for all candidates in a political party by making a single mark on the ballot.
Secretary Tennant is sharing this information with the public and Office partners to make sure that voters remember the change when heading to the polls.
"Every voter should enter their polling place as an informed participant and that's why we want to issue a reminder about the elimination of straight-ticket voting," said Secretary Tennant. "This is an important election change and I ask West Virginians to tell a friend or family member and help the Office get the word out."
A digital flyer explaining this change is available on the Secretary of State Office website.
There were 126,435 straight-ticket ballots cast in the 2014 general election. The official turnout was 462,864, which means that 27 percent of voters voted straight-party in the last general election. Of those who voted straight-party in 2014, 53 percent voted Republican, 42 percent voted Democrat, 1 percent voted Libertarian and less than 1 percent voted Mountain or Constitution party.

Ne-Yo's new album, R.E.D., debuted at No. 4 on the sales chart this week, while another Red set continues to dominate sales.
While Taylor Swift's Red album reigns atop SoundScan for a third week with 196,000 sold (1.7 million to date), R&B star Ne-Yo has entered the charts with his R.E.D. album which clocked about 66,000 units sold in its first week.
Ne-Yo released his album on Election Day and recently explained to CBS Local how he split the album into different parts.
"This album is literally split down the middle," Ne-Yo explained. "One half is strictly for my R&B fan base and the other is the pop fan base…I pride myself and thank my fans for being open-minded enough to allow me to be the kind of artist who can do a song with Young Jeezy and then turn around and do a song with David Guetta or Calvin Harris. There are not a lot of artists that they give that kind of leeway to, I am one. I appreciate that."
While Ne-Yo attempts to feed two audiences, other releases offered fans a singular focus. At No. 2 sits the popular Now That's What I Call Music series (98,000), which includes hits from PSY, Pink, Flo Rida and other pop artists. Third place was held by Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas Baby (162,000), and the No.5 was held down by Aerosmith's Music From Another Dimension (63,000).

Thank you for getting in touch, and my apologies for the inconvenience caused by the helmets you purchased. This is the first instance I've heard of such a problem on this helmet. The gap should be filled out with a small layer of foam normally.
Would you be so kind as to get in touch with our customer loyalty team to get the helmets shipped to me? It'd be helpful to see if there was a defect on the helmets. They'll be able to assist you in this process.

CounterPath's Client Configuration Server is designed to enable enterprises and service providers such as telcos, cable providers and ITSPs to deploy and manage their own CCS solution, a key node for any softphone or SIP endpoint deployment.
