Sign up for our weekly email * The Chinese official purchasing managers' index (PMI) measuring the performance of the manufacturing industry was at 50.4 in January 2013, down from 50.6 in December. A PMI reading of above 50 indicates that the industry is expanding. Economists had anticipated a strong performance from China in January as the country's economy rebounded well in the fourth quarter of 2012. However, the marginal growth in PMI has disappointed markets. Ding Shuang, an economist with Citi, told the Financial Times: "In general, we think the rebound is on track but the rebound seems to be quite modest." Meanwhile, the country's main stock index, Shanghai Composite, declined 0.5 per cent in January after a growth of 20 per cent since November 2012. New orders increased in January to 51.6 from 51.2 in December, due to a surge in domestic demand, while exports declined to 48.5 from 50 in December, primarily due to sluggish external demand. In January 2013, the output index dipped to 51.3 from 52 in December, while the employment index fell to 47.8 from 49. Lu Ting, an economist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, told the Financial Times: "The PMI is a quite inaccurate barometer around the Chinese New Year holiday. We believe the Chinese economy and its related asset markets will remain in a sweet spot in the near term." A separate PMI published by HSBC showed that the country's manufacturing sector had climbed to 52.3 in January 2013, compared to 51.5 in December. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

whats up everyone?
Im Leon, im 18, and live in ma.
my girlfriend has a 1967 mustang that was given to her and its gonna need some saving of the body before its "roadworthy".
im talkin rear quarters, hoods almost gone, trunklid, and who knows whats hiding under the carpet.
its got a strait 6 and 70 thousand original miles so im hoping to get the body done so i can have something to whip this coming summer.
been bustin my *** working trying to save up good old green cause i got a whole list of parts needing replacing...
anyways my question is this...
anyone know of a company to get GOOD(not thin ****ty ****) replacement panels?
also a reputable mustang parts retailer...
Mustang rebuild
A good source for your body parts would be Classic Mustangs in Waco, Texas. Here is the link to their web site.
I noticed their web site is located in Englewood, Colorado, so they may have moved their base of operations.
The last I knew, these guys were an authorized Ford parts outlet.
I'd be careful spending a lot of money. I see where you said the car was given to her but...if its in really bad shape you can easily spend more money than it will ever be worth when fixed.
GMW has a good point there. It may be that the car is worth nothing more than a parts doner itself.
Second thing to think about.
It is your Girlfriends car.
What happens if you spend the national debt on fixing it up, and then she decides to drive over to some other guys house with it and leave you sitting in your garage, out the big green?
That kind of thing has happened more times than most guys would care to remember.
Love of women and Love of Wheels just dont mix.
Fortunately its never happened to me but I do know a lot of guys that similar ( a new stove, dishwasher, TV, whatever) situations have been through.
Why cars are better than women
When your car needs a little maintenance, some of your friends might help you with it.....
Your car doesn't get mad if you spend every Saturday and Sunday afternoon in the garage drinking beer....
Why cars are better than women
Other axiums:
Your car doesnt need to be fed if its not moving.
A car doesnt care if it has the latest in fashion clothes.
A car wont eat the last two bites of your T-bone steak just to see if you get upset or not.
Best of all, your car doesnt have a Mother, so no Mother In Law.
And the grand prize goes to:
Your car doesnt get crabby for 5-6 days every month.

When your car needs a little maintenance, YOU WON'T MIND IF some of your friends help you with it.....
(they might be *TO* willing to help with GF maintenance as well...)
Why cars are Better than Women
Ya got that right Farno.
And she might decide your "buddie" does better maintainance, too.
And your car wont take you for granted.
A good sourse of Mustang parts is CJ's Pony Parts.
I have gotten alot of stuff from them. Great to deal with, and they are in PA.
Another great place for information on that car is,
That being said, I have to agree about doing that work on a girlfriend's car. Also check it's under side real good before doing much to it. If it has that much rust visible, you can imagine how much is hidden.
I wont get into the ownership part of this discussion but in my opinion using a mustang for parts should be considered only for the most hopeless cases. Almost every part but the roof is available new and even if you replace the floor pans(complete floor pans and firewalls are available now),front and rear frame rails, Q-panels even the door shells it is still worth the cost if you do it right. While I was doing my last mustang I visited a guy in kentucky who was GIVEN a parts car but decided to repair it after adding up the cost of the parts. He has replaced most of the sheet metal(most of the car for that matter) and all of the frame parts along with about every thing else that was rusty but he turned what looked like a hopeless hulk into a solid nearly new body for about $3800 in parts. Now I must admit that is parts only and just the body with no allowance made for labor, but we are doing this for fun anyway right? $3800 may seem like a lot to spend on what some would consider junk but how much is a NEW body worth? The car is not out of the shop yet and I know it will cost considerably more to finish but it will be a lot more solid and rust free than a lot of the "restorations" out there and still will be well within a reasonable cost frame.
forget the rust
Start with the brakes first! Or you and your girlfriend may end up dead.
70,000 miles, I'll bet most of the brake parts are original and shot. Your looking at $500-700 in parts to do it right.
Then the drivetrain
Then all new electrical
Then the suspension
Now start on the body and don't forget the $500 for a new interior.
Want the best made/good price, Classic Creations here in Lakeland FL is a complete parts and restore shop. They have done over 700 Mustangs. Merv knows who makes the best parts. (classiccreationsfl.com) 863-665-2322.
Mechanical parts, Mustang Unlimited Conneticut(mustangunlimited.com)
third choice: NPD National Parts Depot
I certainly wouldn't spend a dollar on a basket case Mustang that didn't even belong to me. And that was only a 6cyl.
Leon, you described a car that needs a full, body off restoration. You're 18 just like me, do yourself a favor, don't blow that hard earned cash on that pos, put it in the bank, or towards a car that you can drive safely and work on at the same time.

Whence It Came
The four previous M5s.
The first M5s were hand-assembled by BMW's Motorsport shop using a 3453-cc inline-six derived from the mid-engine M1. It made 282 horsepower for Euro buyers and 256 horses fully certified for the U.S. market, where lawyers won a class-action suit against BMW when U.S. sales rose above the promised 500 copies. It and the later E39 are the only M5s without wagon versions.
Global sales: 2211.
Still hand-assembled by the Motorsport shop in Garching, north of Munich, the E34 debuted with a 310-hp, 3535-cc inline-six evolved from the E28's engine. Perhaps miffed by the class-action lawsuit, Germany sent only this version stateside, while Europe got a 335-hp 3.8-liter in 1991 upon the debut of the Touring wagon. Just 1678 E34 M5s were exported to North America.
Global sales: 12,253.
The first M5 built on BMW's regular 5-series assembly line signaled the end of the M5's direct racing lineage. The 4941-cc S62 V-8 produced 394 horsepower while drivers enjoyed the luxury of high-tech (for the times) amenities such as ABS and navigation. A wagon was considered, but ultimately BMW chickened out. By the final year, the base price rose to $73,195. It's considered the benchmark M5 by many.
Global sales: 20,482.
A horsepower war was on and AMG was winning, so this M5 got a 500-hp, 5.0-liter V-10 with a titular link to BMW's Formula 1 engines. On paper, the E60 looked fabulous, but the cold ergonomics and lumpy SMG automated manual transmission ruined it for many. A late six-speed stick for U.S. buyers couldn't resuscitate its crashing resale values.
Global sales: 20,548.

i'm actually amazed by this, i was scared that 40 vol might be too strong and fry my hair, but it's awesome, my hair is a medium brown and i left it for about ten minutes and it was already yellow, i couldn't believe it, it was really fast it took me only like 15 minutes to get to the light blonde i wanted. i washed my hair afterwards and it feels so soft and healthy, this is amazing, i don't know how people fried their hair with this, i guess you kind of have to know what you are doing...

Ethics and Public Policy Center

Revenue (2014)
|Expenses (2014)
The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) is a conservative[2][3] Washington, D.C.-based think tank and advocacy group. Founded in 1976, the group describes itself as "dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy", and advocacy of founding principles such as the rule of law.[4] The EPPC is active in a number of ways, including holding conferences,[5] publishing written work[6] from the group's scholars,[7] and running programs[8] intended to explore areas of public concern and interest.
The EPPC's current president is Edward Whelan, who previously worked as an official in the United States Department of Justice. Michael Cromartie, former chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, serves as vice president, while George Weigel, Catholic theologian and papal biographer, is distinguished senior fellow.
The EPPC is a qualified 501(c)(3) organization[9] and currently employs 20 individuals.[10] According to Hoover's, the EPPC's annual sales total $2.47 million while their annual income totals $283,900.[10]
The EPPC was founded in 1976 by Ernest W. Lefever, an American political theorist. He was nominated in 1981 for a State Department position by President Ronald Reagan before ultimately being rejected for the opportunity due to his controversial background.[11] He served as president of the EPPC until 1989 and continued to write scholarly articles for the EPPC until his death in 2009.[12] Lefever said upon founding the institute that "a small ethically oriented center" should "respond directly to ideological critics who insist the corporation is fundamentally unjust."[13] The EPPC's website states that they have been politically committed to "defending the great Western ethical imperatives" on issues such as "the Cold War, the war on terror, the role of religion in public life, and battles over the nature of the family."[4]
Political activity[edit]
The EPPC is politically active in a variety of ways. The EPPC attempts to influence public policy and shape public opinion through a number of methods, which include writing and/or being featured in newspaper articles, publishing their own journal The New Atlantis along with a number of other publications, providing legislative testimonies to Congress, and submitting Amicus briefs to the courts in defense of their positions. The Center organizes much of their political activity into seven main programs, which they title: "American Religious Freedom", "Bioethics and American Democracy", "Catholic Studies", "The Constitution, the Courts, and the Culture", "Economics and Ethics", "Evangelicals in Civic Life", and "Science, Technology, and Society".[14]
The EPPC commonly voices its opinion on matters of public interest through traditional media outlets. Members of the EPPC are commonly featured in newspaper articles, either as authors or as contributors on issues of national relevance. The Center's president Ed Whelan is active on these initiatives, particularly in regards to the United States Supreme Court. The LA Times published an op-ed piece written by Whelan that critiqued judicial activism on the Supreme Court. Whelan wrote that the activists on the Supreme Court have "extravagant and unconstrained conceptions of the judicial role."[15] Whelan is also quoted in a number of articles critiquing President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominations of Justice Elena Kagan after the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens.[16][17] Other members of the EPPC have given their opinions regarding the state of health care in the United States. EPPC member Yuval Levin argues that the best solution to the health care debate is to provide tax credits for health insurance.[18] In the Wall Street Journal, EPPC member James Capretta is quoted as saying about President Obama's health care plan: "Think of public education. They want to do for health care what they've done for education—establish a government-run, universal system. Once in place, they will defend such a system whether or not it delivers the results it promised."[19]
The EPPC publishes a number of publications, most notably through its journal titled The New Atlantis: A Journal of Technology and Society. The New Atlantis focuses on the social and political dimensions of science and technology. It is a quarterly journal has earned a reputation as a traditionalist conservative publication[citation needed]. The EPPC describes The New Atlantis as "an effort to clarify the nation's moral and political understanding of all areas of technology—from stem cells to hydrogen cells to weapons of mass destruction."[20] The EPPC believes that technology will be central to the future of American life and American politics, and they intend for the journal to help scientists, policymakers, and citizens deal more wisely with the promise and perils of future of the United States.[20] Adam Keiper, a writing fellow for the EPPC, is the current editor of The New Atlantis. Additional publications by the EPPC, with topics ranging from technology to religion, are released through its website.[6]
Legislative testimony[edit]
|This section relies too much on references to primary sources. (December 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The EPPC has had a long history of legislative action, most notably through legislative testimony. For instance, representatives of the EPPC have testified against embryonic stem cell research[21] and against genetic testing on human beings.[22] Current president Ed Whelan has testified on behalf of the EPPC in hearings against the Defense of Marriage Act,[23] against the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade and against abortion in general,[24] against judicial activism in interpretation of the United States Constitution,[25] and against the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.[26] He also testified in support of the idea of respecting original intent.[25]
Representatives of the EPPC have also testified in other areas of political interest. In the realm of the American economy, representatives of the EPPC (especially Fellow James Capretta) have testified against such measures as increased public Medicare spending and against subsidies for drug companies so that impoverished senior citizens can gain Medicare coverage.[27][28] The EPPC has also been involved in hearings explaining the negative long-term effects of the current budget deficit.[29] Most recently, Capretta and the EPPC testified against President Barack Obama's plan for the 2010 United States Federal Budget citing problems with the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act and future entitlement expansions, among other issues.[30] Historically, the EPPC has also testified during hearings related to foreign policy. Members of the group have testified in favor of unilateral economic sanctions against foreign countries,[31] in favor of American intervention in ending Apartheid in South Africa,[32] and granting normal trade relations status to Communist China.[33] The EPPC has also endorsed American intervention in Latin American countries to help build democracy.[34]
Court briefs[edit]
|This section relies too much on references to primary sources. (December 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The EPPC has been involved as Amici Curiae in several high-profile US Supreme Court cases. Examples include Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services, Van Orden v. Perry, and United States v. Virginia. The EPPC has signed onto three different briefs in the Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services case (Feb 2012). On January 6, 2012 the EPPC signed as an individual supporter of the "Brief of Amici Curiae Competitive Enterprise Institute, Thomas P. Miller [...] in Support of Petitioners (Severability Issue)".[35] On January 17, 2012 the EPPC signed on the "Brief for Amici Curiae Economists in Support of State petitioners Regarding Medicaid Expansion". They write: "The Government's attempt to fashion a singular, universal solution is not necessary to address the local externalities arising in these markets and provides no justification for casting aside the traditional constitutional limitations on federal power."[36] Later, on February 13, 2012, the EPPC signed as "Amici Curiae Economists in Support of Respondents Regarding Individual Mandate".[37] These three briefs oppose the initiative of the Affordable Care Act's means to reduce health care costs through expanding Medicaid and enforcing the individual mandate, while rejecting any severability of the mandate from the bill as a whole. In January 2005, the EPPC wrote a brief in the Van Orden v. Perry case, submitted as the "Brief for the Ethics and Public Policy Center as Amicus Curiae in Support of Respondents".[38] The brief was in support of the Judgment of the Court of Appeal to keep the Ten Commandments monument outside of the Texas State Capitol in Austin.
On December 19, 1995, the EPPC signed onto a brief in the United States v. Virginia case submitted as "Amici Curiae Brief of Women's Schools Together, Inc.; Boys' Schools...".[39][40] The EPPC opposed the ruling that same-gender education programs must be matching in program material and content.
There are many well known scholars who contribute to the EPPC. These scholars are referred to by the Center as "Fellows". There are currently twenty-two fellows listed on the EPPC's "Fellows and Scholars" page. They include Center president Ed Whelan, whose areas of expertise include constitutional law and the judicial confirmation process and former Center president George Weigel, a Distinguished Senior fellow and Catholic theologian. Other noted members include Michael Cromartie, vice President of the EPPC who directs the "Evangelicals in Civic Life" program, as well as Senior Fellows Hadley Arkes, Stanley Kurtz, Wilfred M. McClay, and Peter Wehner.[41] Another prominent figure involved with the EPPC is Rick Santorum, who was a Senior fellow with the Center from 2006 until he left the Center to run for the 2012 Republican Party Presidential Nomination. Santorum directed the EPPC's "Program to Protect America's Freedom".[42]

Waze for Developers
Waze provides developers integrative tools for easy access to navigation, map view and real-time data.
Waze Transport SDK for Android & iOS
You can link your mobile app to Waze using the Waze SDK. Waze will open for navigation directly from your app, while data such as routing points, drive time, and ETA will be transferred to you. Add basic navigation like distance to next turn and next turn instruction. Also, get a branded button in Waze to easily switch back to your app. Learn more.
Waze API
Waze supports an API which enables developers to open the Waze client application through an external URL. The URL can be accessed from within another mobile application or a mobile web page.
The Waze application can then locate an address, mark an address on the map or start a navigation session to an address or destination. For examples, see here.
iOS API
Launching Waze iOS client with parameters
URL scheme can be used to launch Waze with parameters from a 3rd party app, email, SMS, web page link, etc.
The following are the available parameters:
|search for address:
waze://?q=<address search term>
|center map to lat / lon:
|navigate to lat / lon:
|set zoom (minimum is 6):
|navigate to query and lat/lon‡:
waze://?q=<address string from mapas api>,ll=<lat>,<lon>&navigate=yes
‡ If you use another map API, you should always start a drive with the address string as the query and the lat long. It will correct any issues with place venues and ensure users are navigated to the entrance of a venue.
|center map to Ayalon and set zoom to 10
|search for address:
The following code snippet example will navigate to lat/lon if Waze is installed, or else will launch the AppStore to install Waze.
- (void) navigateToLatitude:(double)latitude longitude:(double)longitude { if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"waze://"]]) { // Waze is installed. Launch Waze and start navigation NSString *urlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"waze://?ll=%f,%f&navigate=yes", latitude, longitude]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]]; } else { // Waze is not installed. Launch AppStore to install Waze app [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id323229106"]]; } }
When compiling with iOS SDK 9.0 and up, you will need to update your application's plist with the following code to include Waze.
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key> <array> <string>waze</string> </array>
Android API
The following code snippet example will launch Waze to look for the specified location, if Waze is installed. If Waze is not installed it will open Waze page on the Market application.
try { String url = "waze://?q=Hawaii"; Intent intent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( url ) ); startActivity( intent ); } catch ( ActivityNotFoundException ex ) { Intent intent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( "market://details?id=com.waze" ) ); startActivity(intent); }

Kent State offensive lineman Brian Winters, a Hudson High School product, didn't participate in NFL Scouting Combine drills Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, likely forced to pull out because of an injury.
No individuals times were listed for Winters on NFL.com's combine tracker page. Winters could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.
Winters stopped after nine repetitions on the 225-pound bench press Friday because of what he later said was a cramp in his pectoral. Gil Brandt, the former Dallas Cowboys player personnel man now with NFL.com, said he spotted Winters Friday with a big wrap on his chest.
"I had to stop because I cramped on my pec right here," Winters told the Beacon Journal Firday as he pointed to the left side of his chest. "So I'm going to redo it at [Kent State's] pro day [March 6]. I'm fine."
Two other players were injured during the bench press Friday. Rutgers tight end D.C. Jefferson's was reportedly taken to an Indianapolis hospital and his agent told USA Today that he might have suffered a torn pectoral. USC center Khaled Holmes suffered a strained pec, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS.

It's been one day since I have bitten someone. Mom is not doubling up on the dicsipline. I'm getting one last chance to "straighten up."
New rules are in place for me:
1. No toys (unless Mom is using them to train me)
2. No fiddling w/ anything on the floor.
3. No playing (for now) with my furless sisters and brothers
4. No laying down with my furless sisters and brothers
5. I will be crated at all times when Mom or Dad can't have their full attention on me
6. I will be fed separately from everybody else.. More than likely in my crate or by the front door with Mom there the whole time
7. Furless bros and sis's are to stay away from my crate when I'm in it
Mom thinks she is already seeing improvements with me this very first day. By the end of the day (with her supervision) I was staying away from the furless ones all on my own and not touching anything that happened to be sitting on the floor. Mom's praying that I do good this time. She doesn't want to give me up but says if I don't get better she may have to.
So she wants to see how many days I can go without biting anyone. So far 1 day!

Why won't Andrew Breitbart hire a fact checker?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
The thin-skinned attack man on the right didn't like it when the Daily Beast's Conor Friedersdorf pointed out some obvious, gaping holes in the type of attack 'journalism' Breitbart preaches and practices [emphasis added]:
Mr. Breitbart's media empire, and the outlets with which he most closely associates himself, are thoroughly ideological enterprises, publish few if any ideologically heterodox pieces, seldom if ever correct factual mistakes, and ignore liberal insights entirely.
These are outlets that scoff at claims that the Times attempts objective journalism, but that never question the "fair and balanced" claim made by Fox News, or acknowledge that they deliberately ignore certain stories. Its critics cite columns written by the Times' "public editor" as evidence that the newspaper is unaccountable to the American people—yet they'd never dream of allowing semi-autonomous ombudsmen to operate on their own sites.
In his response posted at Andrew Sullivan's site, Breitbart remained completely silent about the fact that while attacking the mainstream media as being unfair and unprofessional, his sites regularly features falsehoods and almost never posts corrections when those falsehoods are detailed for all to see. And that was the Daily Beast's point: if Breitbart wants to be taken seriously, than he needs to start behaving seriously.
Right now, the junkyard of false accusations and pure fiction that litter his sites make it impossible to treat legitimately the right-wing critique of the press. i.e. Why should we listen to people who have no regard to fair play when they lecture the press about fair play?
And on yeah, Andrew, any luck further deciphering the audio from last week's big community-organizers-pray-to-Obama scoop? Keep us posted, okay?

FLORENCE---A United States senator, a Florence businessman and a former South Carolina first lady will be given honorary degrees during May's commencement exercises at Francis Marion University.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham of Seneca, W.O. "Billy" Powers of Florence and former South Carolina first lady Iris Rhodes Campbell of Georgetown County will be honored at the May 6 graduation ceremony in Smith University Center gymnasium. Graham also will be the commencement speaker for the 10 a.m. ceremony at which 355 students are candidates for degrees.
Degree candidates include 292 students for undergraduate degrees and 30 for graduate diplomas. In addition, 33 bachelor's degrees in nursing will be awarded jointly through a cooperative nursing program with the Medical University of South Carolina. Next year, nursing degrees will be awarded by FMU.
Graham was elected to the United States Senate in 2002. A native South Carolinian, he grew up in Central, graduated from D.W. Daniel High School, and earned his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Graham logged six-and-a-half years of service on active duty as an Air Force lawyer.
From 1984-1988, he was assigned overseas and served at Rhein Mein Air Force Base in Germany. Upon leaving the active duty Air Force in 1989, Graham joined the South Carolina Air National Guard, where he served until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994.
During the first Gulf War, Graham was called to active duty and served state-side at McEntire Air National Guard Base as staff judge advocate where he prepared members for deployment to the Gulf region. His duties included briefing pilots on the law of armed conflict, preparing legal documents for deploying troops, and providing legal services for family members of the South Carolina Air National Guard. He received a commendation medal for his service at McEntire.
Since 1995, Graham has continued to serve his country in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and is the only U.S. Senator currently serving in the Guard or Reserves. He is a colonel and is assigned as a Reserve Judge to the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals.
In 1988, Graham went into private law practice and in 1992 was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1994, he became the first Republican to represent South Carolina's Third Congressional District in Washington since 1877.
Graham is known as a leader who never abandons his independence or strays from the conservative reform agenda. He has fought to balance the federal budget, provide tax relief to all taxpayers, keep our military adequately funded and prepared, return control of education back to parents and teachers, and ensure the government keeps its promises to America's greatest generation.
Graham lives in Seneca and is a member of Corinth Baptist Church. He serves on four committees in the U.S. Senate: Armed Services, Judiciary, Budget, and Veterans Affairs.
Powers has spent more than 40 years building his construction company, Powers Construction, into a recognized name across the Southeastern United States. His career began as an engineer with the S.C. Department of Transportation. In addition to Powers Construction, his business interests include Mini-Max Warehouses Inc., Price-Carolina Aqua Pools Inc., Community Health Services Inc., Powers Aviation LLC, Powers-Godbold Construction Co., U.S. Coatings, and The Willows Inc.
Powers is very active in the community, and has been involved with the Florence Rotary Club, the S.C. Chamber of Commerce, the Florence Optimist Club, of which he is a past president, the Florence Economic Development Partnership Board, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts Presidential Advisory Board.
He has an honorary doctoral degree from Clemson University, was the 2002 recipient of the Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award, and has received the Order of the Palmetto award.
Powers is a member of the FMU Foundation Board and the Clemson University Foundation Board. He is a registered South Carolina contractor in several specialties, and is past president of the Pee Dee home Builders Association and a life director of the National Association of Home Builders.
A native of Timmonsville, Powers is a graduate of Timmonsville High School. He attended Clemson University, where he studied civil engineering. He is a member of Central Methodist Church in Florence and is an ordained deacon in the Baptist faith. He has served on numerous church committees.
Powers is married to the former Ann Williamson. He has two children, Timothy Powers and Penny Leigh Burns.
Iris Rhodes Campbell, the daughter of A.T. and Sue Rhodes, was born in Liberty, S.C. She married Carroll Ashmore Campbell Jr. in 1959. After serving in the S.C. House of Representatives, the S.C. Senate and the U.S. Congress, Mr. Campbell was elected Governor of South Carolina in 1986.
As South Carolina's first lady for eight years, Mrs. Campbell dedicated her time to many charities including the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, the Carolina Children's Home and the Food for Hungry Children campaign. She also served on the Board of the Richland Memorial Children's Hospital.
Mrs. Campbell was also involved with Get Alarmed South Carolina, a program providing low-income homes with smoke detectors and Wings, Inc. a horseback riding camp for the handicapped. And, after Hurricane Hugo crippled the state's coast, Mrs. Campbell along with religious leaders implemented Adopt A Family, where church members would adopt families in need.
After Gov. Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimers, the Campbell family became involved with the Palmetto Chapter of the Alzheimers Association which has an annual golf tournament named after the governor to raise money to help fight this terrible disease.
Since Gov. Campbell's death in December 2005, Mrs. Campbell continues to work with the Alzheimers Association and she serves on the advisory board of the University of South Carolina library. She also spends time with her two sons, Carroll III and Mike, and their families which include her four grandchildren.

Life is tough.
As many Millennials begin experiencing "real life" – and find it much harder than their childhoods would have them believe – they experience what Jim Geraghty calls "effort shock" (a phrase taken – believe it or not – from an interesting essay on Cracked. com). Here's Geraghty on this alarm and surprise:
Young people go through their childhood and teen years, believing that they are uniquely gifted and talented and wonderful and believing that their adult life will be one fabulous victory and success after another. And then at some point they depart the protected simulation of life that is childhood/high school/college . . . and the real world just kicks them in the crotch again and again. (This is a bit of what Adam Carolla talked about in his rant about Occupy Wall Street.) And so instead of concluding, "Oh, achieving my dream is going to be a lot harder than I thought, I had better redouble my efforts," they deflect the hard truth of responsibility and conclude that somebody else, somebody out there — society — is to blame. They can take no joy in anyone else's success, because that just reminds them of their own failure to achieve what they had envisioned all of their lives. And their attitudes quickly become one more obstacle — short-tempered, incapable of taking responsibility, quick to blame others, perhaps paranoid, concluding others are out to sabotage them.
I was reminded of Geraghty's comment when I read a recent Gospel Coalition pieceby Glenn Stanton examining research showing that the Millennial generation is continuing and accelerating a downward trend in "concern for others" and by almost every measure is more self-focused than Generation X or the Baby Boomers at equivalent ages. In other words, they are less "Generation We" than "Generation Me."
But I don't read either Geraghty or Stanton as providing just another "kids these days" lament. Indeed, as Geraghty notes in his piece, the very predicate for this effort shock is the "you are a special snowflake" parenting style that's taken my peers (I'm Generation X) by storm. I've ranted about some of our own failings elsewhere — and won't re-rant here — but there is one key point that Geraghty's statement brings to mind: Many of the childhood victories that make kids believe that life will be "one fabulous victory and success after another" aren't really the child's victories at all.
Several weeks ago, I attended a basketball game — my kids' school versus their crosstown rivals — and I was struck by the number of parents who were sitting in the stands, hunched over papers and textbooks, literally doing their child's homework. Not helping, doing. That is of course one extreme of greasing the wheels of your child's success, but the extent that we confuse hand-holding and sometimes even carrying our kids with "going the extra parenting mile" is shocking to see. When our kids get jobs in the real world, they likely won't get private tutoring to help them accomplish daily job tasks, no one will be hovering around the boss making sure they get enough "playing time" or that the boss utilizes them to maximize their skills effectively, and not every key test of their professional competence will be preceded by an expensive six-week Kaplan prep course. Yes, life is easier for a teenager with the direct assistance of one or two highly motivated adult advocates and partners, but will this round-the-clock aid make life better for that 15-year-old when they're 25?
Everyone knows that parenting is tough, and it's tough to watch your kids struggle and sometimes fail — especially when you know you could intervene. And I certainly don't claim to have all the answers, but a critical mass of well-meaning, loving parents are moving well beyond the line of appropriate support and are raising kids who are simply ill-equipped for the world around them.
Perhaps it's time to step back, stop trying to guarantee outcomes, and instead focus on instilling solid core values, then letting the chips fall where they may. Or, if that sounds too tough, just teach them the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness:

For us Gooners, it's all about Jack Wilshere 10
Today I am fortunate to welcome a writer from a website that superbly covers African and Asian football, Sandals for Goal Posts. (www.Sandelsforgoalpost.com) I have been following their blogs on twitter @Sandal4Goalpost and was delighted when Maher Mazahi approached me and told me before Christmas that he had in mind a blog of Jack Wilshere he wished to combined with a new video he was working on, that he needed a home for………..
In Plato's dialogue Philebus, Socrates tussles with the concept of desire:
Socrates: We commonly talk, do we not, of a man "having thirst"? Meaning that he is becoming empty…. Then is his thirst a desire?
Protarchus: Yes, a desire for drink.
Socrates: For drink, or for replenishment with drink?
Protarchus: For replenishment with drink, I should think.
Socrates: When one becomes empty then, apparently he desires the opposite of what he is experiencing; being emptied, he longs to be filled.
So for Socrates, desire is an attempt at filling a void or emptiness within ourselves. There might yet be a Socratic element about Arsenal's love for Jack Wilshere. What Gooners have missed-more than anything
(but a trophy) -is a character of Wilshere's mould. In an age of premature shirt-swapping and giggles in the tunnel, Gooners have been crying out for a nasty figure who will have words with the Welsh Messi, or who will awkwardly stand face-to-belly with the humongous Jonas Olsson. No longer will the North London faithful remain sceptical when their best player claims he's loves the club, no longer will they retain their adulation in fear of losing it to chromosomal homes or little boys in heads. Arsenal FC finally have their hero, and with Wilshere in the ranks, you just have to feel that everything will be just fine.
3 Games that endeared Jack Wilshere to Arsenal fans.
Tottenham (CC Third Roundl): One way to endear yourself to Arsenal fans is to pronounce yourself in the North London Derby. It's why Arsenal fans still fondly remember Lauren, and why Thierry Henry's cast in bronze the way he is. In 2010/11, the jury was still out on Wilshere as a consistent starter for Arsenal. The youngster put the inquisition to bed in his quarter-final performance vs. Spurs. Jack played two wonderful assists as Arsenal pulled away from Tottenham in extra time and won 4-1.
Barcelona (home and away): This was the match Wilshere ran the world's best ragged. On that special night at the Emirates, Arsenal's very own sparkled. Ask any Gooner and they'll tell you he kept Messi in his back pocket, made a fool of both Xavi and Iniesta and stung Valdes' fingers. We won't comment on speculation.
Birmingham (CC Final): By February, Wenger's men were still competitive for four trophies. The first was going to be the League Cup. En face, were a physical, Alex McLeish poisoned Birmingham side drowning in the relegation deep end. Wilshere was by far the best player on the pitch. He was everywhere, rarely put a foot wrong, but the best part of his performance had nothing to do with football. His passion oozed in those 90 minutes. With every stride he took, it was clear how badly he wanted to win a trophy for Arsenal. After 90 minutes, we fans had nothing to show for it. Our new defender and new goalkeeper had produced a spectacular blunder that would onset a series of failures which would ultimately conclude our season. But then we saw Jack Wilshere crying. It made us happy- probably not because we're sadists, but because in those few minutes, we saw how much ending the trophy drought meant to him. On the day, Arsenal lost the cup, but gained a true gunner and the value of a club legend is priceless.
Thanks Maher. This will obviously striker a chord with all Gooners. You can follow Maher at @MezahiMaher but first please take 7 minutes to enjoy his wonderful film demonstrating quite clearly the special talent that is Jack Wilshere 10.
Until next time thanks for reading.

Taylor Lautner Comes Out On Fake 'People' Cover
People was all over the internet yesterday (December 26), featuring Taylor Lautner as "out and proud." The Abduction star was falsley as being "tired of the rumors" and feeling "more liberated and happier" than he's ever been, according to E! Online.Photoshop is an truly extraordinary thing. A fake cover of
Russell Simmons thought the cover was real and tweeted his support to Lautner, writing that he was "proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage."
When someone let the Def Jams honcho know that the cover was a hoax, Simmons hopped back on the social media site. "Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be…" Simmons tweeted.

Okay guys, I'm 90% sure I'm going to go with a G19 or G17, more than likely the G19 as I live in CA and only can carry 10 rds anyhow (legally at least).
I've already passed the $25 test (which was super easy).
I'm looking to get a G19 or G17 for $570 plus sales tax. What other fees will in incur upon purchasing. Licensing fees? Etc? I'm guessing it depends from state to state.

About Sharon Grimes
What's your favorite thing about working at Greenville College?
My favorite thing about working at Greenville College is that every class period I have the opportunity to do what I love--my passion--teach art history. As someone once stated, do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life; that's the way I feel.
What attracted you to Art, and how do you use it outside of the classroom?
I have always been attracted to art. In high school I took four years of art classes. If my life after high school would have been different, I probably would be teaching art in high school today. After a series of personal events in my life, I decided I needed to finish my undergrad degree and started taking classes at GC. One class opened my eyes to the wonder of the lives of artists and the creation of works of art. From this point, I followed my heart and decided to pursue a study in art history. Art centers me. I try to visit as many art museums as possible, and have traveled to Europe four times to see the marvelous works of art. I also surround myself with art in my home and in my office. "Art is what makes us human."

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:29pm
UMass head coach Greg Cannella believes that regardless of Division, leadership is the key for any lacrosse team.
As Cannella's Minutemen (ranked No. 15 in the Face-Off Yearbook) begin final preparations for their Feb. 12 season opener against Army, that theme continues to ring true in Amherst.
"Leadership is the key, every single year," said Cannella, whose team is also ranked No. 16 in the USILA Division I Coaches Poll released Monday. "And it's a special type of leadership that makes the difference."
Following a season in which the UMass lacrosse team saw plenty of time ranked in the Inside Lacrosse Top 20 before sputtering to a final 8-6 record, leadership, according to Cannella, will be the key factor in getting the Minutemen over the hump this season.
Much of the Minutemen's late-season slide in 2010 was caused by injuries. But if all goes to plan this spring, UMass will finish strong, healthy or not. UMass dropped four of its final five games on the schedule last season and much of the reason for the downfall was in a lack of offensive production. In each of the four losses to end the season, the Minutemen failed to score more than 10 goals. Luckily, the Minutemen return four of their top five scorers from last year, including Will Manny, Art Kell and Anthony Biscardi.
This sour taste, however, is a key motivational factor in the early going for the coaches and players that make up the Minutemen. Things turned around so quickly in the final stretch of the season for UMass that this year's team is focused on getting back to work.
"It's an attitude change," said Cannella. "We try to focus on every single day and to make ourselves better each and every day. We continue to have high expectations of each other and everyone returning — players and coaches — have that sour taste in our mouth.
The Mintuemen were cruising at 7-2 and seemingly ready for the postseason before faltering late in the year and losing four of their final five games.
"The hope is that you can continue to be strong throughout the season even when we're worn down," he said. "You wear down physically but mentally, you must remain sharp. The mental aspect of our game at the end of last year wasn't very strong."
UMass vs. Army, Feb. 12
Few games have the hype and build up that opening day games have and this season opener may be the biggest UMass has ever seen. The Minutemen will take on Army at home on Feb. 12. Always a tough place to play before late March, Amherst will welcome the 13th-ranked team in the nation, according to Face-Off Yearbook (12 in the USILA Coaches Poll, 13 in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll, both released Monday), and it's surely a game the Minutemen have already started to prepare for.
UMass will also take on Brown, Drexel and Hofstra, which are also ranked in the Top 20.
As a freshman last season, Will Manny simply couldn't have played any better. The standout finished with a team-high 27 goals and 18 assists and was ranked as the No. 2. rookie by Inside Lacrosse. His impressive freshman campaign won him Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week on two separate occasions and the conference's Rookie of the Year award.
Manny will undoubtedly take an even bigger role in the Minutemen attack in this, his second season. With one year under his belt and considering just how dominant he was on the offensive end last year, it stands to reason that Manny will respond well despite having a target on his back from opposing defenders.
"For (Will), we're trying to get him to focus on not trying to do everything," said Cannella. "Last year, he picked up the slack when our leading scorer went down. And this year, he'll definitely get his goals.
"But he's working on becoming a better decision maker. He's an excellent player and he's becoming a better leader out there."
Senior midfielder Ryan Hantverk said that the Minutemen take pride in the fact that they practice around snow, sleet and freezing temperatures when many other top teams have the benefit of warm temperatures. In fact, UMass started practice on what was — at that point, the coldest day of the winter — and the Minutemen wouldn't have had it any other way.
"We do it every year," said Cannella. "We've been outside all but one day this year. We pride ourselves on dealing with the elements.
"Spring doesn't arrive when we want it to, so we need to make the adjustment and battle the elements."
UMass is led by a trio of experienced captains. The younger Minutemen will look for guidance from junior goalie Tim McCormack, senior defenseman Casey Rahn and senior midfielder Ryan Hantverk. But head coach Greg Cannella credits his entire senior class for taking the leadership of this team under their collective belt and running with it.
Defensemen Mael Walkowiak, Brett Newgaard, Travis Trispuka (who also plays football at UMass) and midfielder Mike Wilus are all seniors on this Minutemen squad hoping to turn last year's promising 8-6 record into something even better.
"They have to lead. Those aren't the expectations, those are the demands, "Cannella said. "Every year, we lean on our seniors to be good players and put the team first and their egos aside.
While the Minutemen will be relying heavily on the play of their experienced and upperclassmen defense and the returning scorers that will help lead the offense, UMass will also be looking for plenty of production out of its freshmen class. Two freshmen, in particular, will be called upon early: Ryan Izzo and Connor Mooney.
Izzo, a Massachusetts native, is one of the best high school football players to ever touch the gridiron in the Bay State. He finished his career with more than 6,300 rushing yards and finished his career as the state's all-time leading scorer with 722 points. He's pretty darn good at lacrosse, too. The midfielder was a perennial All-Scholastic at Walpole High School and was named to the All-ESPN Rise Team after his senior season.
"Ryan (Izzo) is someone we expect to contribute solely through his excellent athleticism and speed," Cannella said. "Connor Mooney is an all around good player with a good sense of the game.
"They're definitely the two freshmen with the best chance of making an impact."

Winemaker Notes
The 2010 Yalumba Y Series Merlot has an inviting crimson color. Classic varietal aromas of red currants, violets and eucalypt lead to a medium bodied palate with flavors ranging from spiced fruit cake to black cherry with very fine, velvet tannins. The generous fruit flavors give the wine a fleshy, supple appeal that the variety is so well known for. Serve with Kangaroo fillets, a red currant reduction and sweet potato mash.
YalumbaView all wine
Yalumba is Australia's oldest family-owned winery, founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith. From modest beginnings, the Yalumba Wine Company has grown to become one of Australia's most successful wineries, owned by 5th generation Robert Hill-Smith. Yalumba regularly receives accolades for its outstanding wines, and for its leadership in viticultural innovation and sustainable farming. Yalumba was the first winery in the world to be recognized with the Climate Award from the United States Environmental Protection... View More

I wanted to share with you something special! I went camping!! On saturday we went to the park where we normally go for walks, but it was different, because all the family had huge bags, except me of course. When we got there, we put up a big tent, and they got out all the things from the bags, beds, my bowl, and they even remembered my teddy!!
I ran around and barked at the other dogs a bit (but not too much, mum was being careful not to get me too close, but as they were all off lead it was a bit tricky).
I met lots of new children, who all stroked me and played games, which was really good cause usually they scare me a bit and I have to bark to get them away.
Then when it started to get dark, mum put me in the tent and sat with me while I fell asleep.
I don't know what happened after that, but when I woke up, mum put me back on my lead and we ran around the park before anyone woke up, it was great having the whole park to myself, and by the time the other dogs woke up, I didn't feel like barking at them! I was so well behaved that mum let me off lead, so I ran to play with the other dogs, but of course, I had to bark, so mum called me back. After a while she let me go back to play, but I barked again, so this time she just called me back, and I came back!!
I thought this was what she expected, after all, she called me, but she looked shocked and the whole family cheered and gave me cuddles, they even let me have the end of their breakfast and a small bit of tea, I loooove tea. So I liked that so much that after that, if they let me go play, I came straight back if they called.
Now they say they might even let me off lead for a little while on normal walks, cause its not like its close to a road, and I have proven I can come back.
Today I went to my nannys house! That's my favourite place because the garden is closed in well and I can run and run as much as I like.
But today it was even better, because there was a barbeque!! That means that if I bounce about enough I get burgers! I had 3 burgers and 2 sausages, nobody thought I could eat it, but I did!
My mum gave up trying to train me on the way home because I was too full, I did end up nose to nose with a bulldog though, I tried to be polite and sniff, but I soon ended up scaring him away.
That's cause I'm tough!
I'm getting pretty big now, for a chihuahua, so I was allowed to go to the hills for a walk. Mum said maybe an hour, and there would be rabbits, birds, squirrels, and bluebells!
It all started well, I climbed the first hill great, and was so tired when I got to the top that I stood right next to a border collie and didn't even grumble!
Then we set out for hill number two, the path was boring, and I got my energy back and started barking at all the puppies! The family decided it was best to leave the path and find our own way there, after all, they knew the way!
An hour later I realized we were lost. Mum had to cross a load of streams by laying logs across them, and she said I did super well with my balance, I even worked my way through a bunch of muddy patches and boggy bits. And people say I'm a handbag dog!!
Four hours later and we finally found a road, we were so relieved!
In all I walked at least 3 miles, probably more since I doubt mum and dad have enough sense of direction to walk in a straight line!
I got a bunch of table scraps that night, which I'm never allowed, so I must have done something good right?

"Love this halter!"
I bought one to try for one of my OTTBs with tender skin. The quality blew me away, considering the "value" price! I have bought one for each of my other OTTBs and have nothing but praise for it.
"Great Halter"
Had one of these for YEARS for my old gelding and it held up wonderfully. I've bought several more to use as pasture halters, since I use rope halters for leading/tying. Cheap enough that I can do that, and they are holding up just as well. Doesn't rub, which is what I needed for my new rescue with bad halter rubs and bald spots. Love these!
My foxtrotter gelding has a few sore spots around his ears,so I bought this and it done everything i needed it to! The padding is very nice and my horse LOVES it and I have had it for 6 to 7 months and it is still brand new .I would totally buy another one! 5 stars!
I absolutely LOVE these halters! They are an EXCELLENT quality for the money...you just can't go wrong with these! The nice padding on the underside makes it nice and comfortable for the horses as well. Strongly recommended!
"top of the line"
This is the first and last halter i have bought for one of my horses. It was purchased 11 years ago. If it is not on the horse it is hanging at the fence ready for use and has always been exposed to the elements. Cant say anything but god things about this halter.
"Best ever lead halter"
I have used these padded halters for over 10 years, the average life span is 3 to 5 years.Good for leading bathing even ponying young horses.Never leaves marks but eventually the rubber siding wears out with use. The snaps are sound working quality.GREAT for the $
"Good quality for the price"
After a year and a half the throat snap broke, I now use it as a grooming halter. Good if you need to leave it on a horse, the padding does not rub the hair off and my horse never even had a line from it. Have already bought the replacement.

Michelle Ledue teaches 2nd grade in Steep Falls Maine. She has an ipad for
each of her students. Michelle has fully embraced using the tablets as powerful
learning tools for her students combined with a variety of other tools,
manipulatives and technologies. I will share more of Michelle's one to one to
one computing strategies in the future, but for starters let's take a look at a
lesson she developed that culminates with students using an ipad screen capture
app. The Educreations app allows students to work in a whiteboard environment
to narrate their solutions to problems using images and drawings. Here is an
example lesson that Michelle developed when her 2nd graders were working on
adding money.Developing Multiple Strategies and
Representations Students were taught how to add dollars and cents
together using various algorithms (traditional and partials sums) and other
strategies (counting up, grouping known sums). The strategies and algorithms
were interactively demonstrated for the whole class using the whiteboard and
markers, magnetic bills and coins as well as an ELMO document camera for
demonstrating with real coins and bills. Differentiating
Her Practice/Assessment TaskMichelle made a set of leveled cards
with money amounts written on them. For example: a beginning card might have
only two amounts $0.50 and $0.35, a middle card might have: $1.25 and $1.46, and
a challenge card might have three amounts: $1.18, $3.37 and $2.92.Checking Student UnderstandingStudents were asked
to:1. Self select from beginning, middle and challenge level cards, 2. Create a number story using their card's amounts 3. Use the
Educreations screen capture app to narrate and illustrate the process and
thinking they used to find the total cost of their items.Here is an example of the work of one of
Michelle's students. Click on the picture to see the video screencast that the
student made to document her work. Note: Some of the audio is hard to
understand, but if you watch the whole screencast I think you will find her
thinking is well represented.
Michelle's Comments:
While watching this
student's video I was not only able to determine her proficiency in the skill of
finding the total cost, but also identify her problem solving strategies. She
found the total cost through addition with partial sums and counting up. She
knows both the name a value of coins. At the end of the clip she shows the final
cost of the cats using hand drawn bills and coins. I'm able to determine that
she can correctly show the value. However, she can use lessons on modeling and
practicing showing a given amount with the fewest number of coins. This type of
activity using the iPads engages students in authentic learning and problem
solving. Students are displaying their content specific problem solving
strategies and skills while working towards improving their communication
skills. Having the video artifact allows me to review, reflect, reteach and
reposition my instruction with each individual student. Having access to
student's metacognition at the click of a play button is invaluable.Educreations is a free app: http://www.educreations.com/

The 25-year-old rejected a new offer from Wigan and signed a two-year contract with the Wildcats in June.
However, Wakefield have since hit financial trouble and said they would not hold the player to the deal.
Tuson, who is hoping to play his final match for Wigan in Saturday's Grand Final, said: "I decided that it was the right time to leave Wigan and the opportunity to join Hull FC was too good to refuse.
"I had a couple of options on the table, which included Wakefield who made me a very good offer, but I think it is a no-brainer for any player when a club like this comes along.
"They're similar to Wigan in many ways and hopefully the club can push on and enjoy the success they have over the last few years. I am really excited about playing my part in that."
Tuson becomes Hull's fourth new recruit for 2014 following the signing of Castleford second-rower Jordan Thompson, Hull KR prop Mickey Paea and former Wigan front-rower Iafeta Paleaaesina.
He is the first signing since the appointment of Lee Radford as Hull's new head coach.
Radford said: "Chris will bring plenty of aggression and competitiveness to our pack next season which will be very valuable to the squad.
"He was held in high regard at Wigan and has developed in a strong culture there, which we want him to bring to the club. We are trying to develop that winning mentality here and build an environment for hard-working and dedicated professionals, and Chris fits that bill."
Tuson has so far made 82 appearances in his career, which included loan spells at Blackpool and Castleford, and was in the Wigan team that beat Hull 16-0 in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley in August.
