TAMPA -- If Mitt Romney can't bring the house to its feet tonight on his own, Frank Breeden is here to help.
"We just love to see the camera shots of people singing and dancing," said the Washington, D.C.-based literary agent and entertainment director at the 2012 Republican convention. He has lined up Christian group Seven, American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and gospel and R&B singer BeBe Winans as the musical lineup leading up to Romney's acceptance speech tonight.
Hicks will perform Takin' it to the Streets, and Winans will perform, America America.
"We just knew it will be great night. On every night, but especially on the nominee's night, you want to make it really strong," Breeden said. He organized the musical acts for George W. Bush's 2004 convention in New York. He said he received "more pitches this time than ever in recent memory" to play at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. "I think it's Mitt Romney, I really do. I've had so many people tell me they just really like him," he said.
No one has ever characterized Romney as rock n' roll, but Breeden noted he's shown some of his musical preferences on the campaign trail, where Kid Rock's anthem Born Free is in heavy rotation. Asked what he's learned about Romney's musical tastes he said: "He comes from a place where he appreciates a very rich and deep esthetic. You'll see some wonderful orchestral textures" in tonight's musical program.
"We have been really strong in country and the Christian community, contemporary Christian and gospel," he said. The convention has included music from the Oak Ridge Boys, 3 Doors Down, former Saturday Night Live musical director G.E. Smith leading the house band and – almost -- Lynyrd Skynyrd, who were forced to cancel because of a hurricane threat.
Artists who play the convention stage volunteer their time but their travel costs are covered, Breeden said. For Hicks, playing the convention was a no-brainer. "For me personally and professionally I think this is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of history," Hicks said in an interview. "And when you look back on it through your career, you can say you performed and opened up for a possible American president, and it's an honor."
Hicks said there is a risk to performing in a partisan atmosphere. "You always run that risk anytime you perform in a political arena," but he offered praised for the GOP ticket. "I think Romney is a great family man and I think he represents the good old fashioned values of America."
Breeden acknowledged partisan divisions in the music industry. "Music is no different than any other sector of life, it's got one of each," he said, "When I call someone and say, 'Hey, would you like to perform at our convention?' we certainly do some topical research on them so we'll know if they've been very vocal against our party or our nominee."
But, really, it's less about politics than making sure the convention hall looks and feels like it's having a good time. "First of all, it's entertainment," he said, "And it's no more complicated than it's fun."

|Georgia State Athletics History
After spending eight years in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Georgia State became a full member of the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2013. It began its transition with 10 individual sport teams in the Sun Belt Conference in 2012.
In just its fifth year in 2014, football became full member of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The Panthers are fully bowl eligible. GSU earned its first Bowl bid in 2015 (AutoNation Cure Bowl, Orlando, Fla.)
|Conference History
|Georgia State's men's teams were part of the Trans America Athletic Conference (TAAC) from 1983 to 2005, spending 21 years in the league before joining the CAA. The TAAC changed its named to Atlantic Sun (A-Sun) in July 2001.
Prior to that, Georgia State competed five years as an inaugural member of the then-six-team Sun Belt Conference after being an independent for more than a decade after starting the athletics program.
Women's sports joined the program during the 1974-75 school year as basketball, soccer, volleyball and tennis competed at the Division I level. Women's cross country began the next year.
The teams women's competed against programs throughout the southeast, but were not affiliated with a conference. In 1976-77, the athletics program became a member of the Sun Belt Conference. After five seasons, Georgia State chose to break its affiliation.

The Daily Startup: Rant Media Raises Cash to Keep Page Views Coming
Investors typically take preferred stock in startups to ensure they are first to get paid should the company shut down or go bankrupt, but sports and lifestyle content company Rant Media Network closed $4 million in fresh funding in an unusual common-stock deal valuing the startup at $54 million post-money, Lizette Chapman reports for VentureWire. "I felt the valuation was so attractive that I was willing to take the risk. I suggested it to get [the deal] done quickly," said Barry Honig, who invested his private funds alongside Craig Dubow, a former Gannett CEO, and Southpaw Asset Management. Like Bleacher Report, Vox Media and smaller content sites like Fansided, Rant publishes sports-focused content and commentary that goes beyond reporting scores. It reports more than 2.3 billion page views across its network of sites so far this year, more than the amount for all of 2013.

You have stunned us with your overwhelming response to WOOL! We currently have 137 copies circulating, and none of them are ever here. Your enthusiastic response has left us with an embarrassingly empty display – but we love what it represents: a community truly coming together for a shared reading experience!
If you haven't gotten a copy of WOOL yet, stop by or give us a call and we'll get you onto the waiting list. Books come back every day, so the list is moving very quickly. Get it now -- we want to be sure you've had time to read it before the festivities begin in September!! Mark your calendars: Hugh Howey will be here Sept 20-21st to spend some time with us.
In addition to Hugh Howey's WOOL, we have quite a number of his other books circulating, too, and you've been snatching those up, as well! Here's a brief guide to some of those titles, in case you'd like to read more:
- Shift Trilogy is the prequel to WOOL. Find out how it all began. This August, Hugh will release Dust, which will complete the saga. (at least as far as he's concerned; many other authors are writing "fan fiction" that takes place in the world he's created!)
- The Molly Fyde books are YA Science Fiction – a rollicking space opera, and Hugh's first published works. The first book in the series is Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue.
- If you like dark themes and have a very strong stomach, give I, Zombie a try. It's a zombie story told from the perspective of the zombies: poor, shuffling souls who remember their lives as humans and are repulsed by their zombie behavior, but are animated by drives they cannot control. It's heartbreaking and brutal, but beautifully written.
- Half Way Home is another YA Science Fiction title, and an absolute favorite among Howey's fans. Don't let the YA designation scare you away – adults love this book, too!
- The Hurricane is a compelling tale of a teen coming to terms with his life as a massive storm flattens his community.
Wool in eBook
I'm a great fan of eBooks (never leave home without them!) and I'd love to read Wool online, as it was originally published. But the Minuteman system doesn't seem to offer it, or parts of it, or anything! Is there anything we can do to get the eBook version as well as the paper one?
WOOL ebook
Hi Jane,
This is an ongoing problem with self-published eBooks: there's currently no viable way for libraries to own them or make them available! It's something the industry will need to come to terms with soon, and we are hoping to push that conversation forward.
For now, though, the generous author of WOOL has agreed to make the e-book version of WOOL available to our patrons AT NO CHARGE, in order to support this community read. How wonderful is that? We're working on getting the files set so that they may be downloaded.
In the meantime, if you will email us at email@example.com and let me know what file type you prefer (.epub, .mobi, or .pdf), I can send you back the appropriate one for your device. Thanks for writing in!
For those of you who've been unable to get a print copy of the book, we just got another 25 copies in, so come on down!!

Tornados conclude first day of JCSU Invitational with sweep over Johnson & WalesSeptember 2, 2011
Brevard has 19 service aces in three set sweep over Wildcats
Charlotte, N.C. - The Tornados made it two in a row on Friday as they defeated Johnson & Wales University in the nightcap of the first day of the Johnson C. Smith Invitational Volleyball tournament in straight sets, 25-20, 25-11, 25-15.
Ashlie Morrison led the way for the Tornados (2-0) with nine kills as Brevard hit 24.7 percent in the match.

Lindsey Rogers fell one service ace shy of the all-time Brevard single game record, placing seven in the match as the Tornados fired in 19 aces in the match.
Defensively, the Tornados defended the net as a team with nine total blocks, while Kortney Conner led the way with five digs.
Felicia Anderson led the way for Johnson & Wales (1-8), recording a team high seven kills in the match. Kristen Hall added four, while Kaitlin Kuntz had eight set assists. Hall also added four service aces, while Tori Dublino led the Wildcats with seven digs.

Lexington, Ky. • Vander Blue had no doubt where he was going with the ball. The Marquette guard's only concern was whether he'd have room to make it happen.
Blue needed just four seconds to make his own path. Taking Jamil Wilson's inbounds pass at midcourt with 5.5 seconds remaining, he drove left past Jake Cohen for a layup that completed a rally from nine points down and gave the third-seeded Golden Eagles an improbable 59-58 victory over No. 14 Davidson in Thursday's second-round NCAA tournament game.
"All I was thinking was, 'if I get to the rim, I have to finish,'" said Blue, who scored seven of Marquette's final 10 points including a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left. "I'm not ready to go home, I know our team's not ready to go home.
"We got down by like seven, nobody ever panicked. ... Nobody missed a beat. We knew the game isn't over until the clock hits zero."
Blue was there to ensure time ran out on Davidson, intercepting the last-ditch inbounds pass to seal a remarkable rally and set off a noisy celebration among players and Golden Eagles fans at Rupp Arena. Marquette advanced to Saturday's third round against Butler, a 68-56 winner over Bucknell
It's mostly thanks to Blue and Wilson.
Blue finished with 16 points while Wilson added 14, but their consecutive 3-pointers brought Marquette to within 58-57 with 11 seconds left. The Golden Eagles then caught a huge break when De'Mon Brooks' long inbounds pass went out of bounds at midcourt with 5.5 seconds left, providing another opportunity.
Cal 64, UNLV 61 • In San Jose, Calif., Allen Crabbe had 19 points and nine rebounds, reserve Robert Thurman scored all 12 of his points on dunks and 12th-seeded California held off UNLV. Buoyed by the crowd support of a strong contingent so close to Berkeley, the Golden Bears held the Runnin' Rebels without a basket for more than 11 minutes in the second half. Cal turned a tie game into a nine-point lead during that stretch and withstood a late UNLV push for its first tournament win since 2009.
Syracuse 81, Montana 34 • In San Jose, Calif., Brandon Triche scored 20 points, C.J. Fair added 13 and fourth-seeded Syracuse shut down No. 13-seed Montana with its zone defense. Michael Carter-Williams chipped in four points, eight rebounds and nine assists as the Orange (27-9) raced out to an early lead that grew as big as 50 points and coasted past the Grizzlies (25-7) to their most lopsided tournament win since beating Brown 101-52 in the first round in 1986.
Butler 68, Bucknell 56 • In Lexington, Ky., Andrew Smith had a double-double with a career-high 16 rebounds and 14 points, and Butler made 18 of 20 free throws down the stretch. Roosevelt Jones added 14 points for the sixth-seeded Bulldogs.

Does Cosleeping have a Time Limit?
What are your thoughts on cosleeping and older children? Do you think that the family bed has an age restriction? I have heard both sides of the argument and honestly I do not know where I stand right now.
My oldest two children hardly coslept at all. My youngest two, however, have coslept since day one. I now have a one-year-old in my bed every night and a two-year-old in my bed most nights. Sometimes I think I would like to have a night alone with my husband. Clearly, this is not something you can just end, at least not in a gentle way. I coslept until I was an adolescent and I know I definitely want to be alone with my husband before my kids reach that age.
If you do think cosleeping has an age limit when do you think it occurs? Furthermore, how did you/do you plan on convincing your kids that it is time to move to their own bed?

Hi mom2many,
We co-slept with 4 of our 5 children. They all slept in our bed for different lengths of time and transitioned out of the bed for different reasons.
Sometimes we transitioned them out because I was pregnant with the next child and really wanted to get a good, full night's sleep without waking up, so I didn't have to feel the "all day and all night" sickness I had those first few months of pregnancy.
I have some ideas and suggestions for you, but first I'd like to know if your one and two year olds take a nap in their own bed or if they do all of their sleeping in your bed.
Let me know and then I'll post back with some ideas on how to get more "alone" time in your bed without traumetizing your children.
Warm regards,

Hey Kate,
Thank you for the reply!
My one-year-old does not nap or sleep by herself at all. My two-year-old naps by himself and sometimes sleeps in bed with my four-year-old at night instead of us, though he usually ends up in our bed by 4 or 5.
The two-year-old is weaned but the one-year-old is still breastfeeding.
I would really like to have a child-free bed sometime in the next year or so but not at the cost of traumatizing my little ones. I'd love to hear your advice.

Hi Angela,
If I were in your shoes, I would start with the 2 year old being that he already takes a nap by himself and sometimes sleeps with his 4 year old brother.
This would just involve being consistent and lovingly firm. Start putting him to bed with his brother every night. If he gets up at 4 or 5 to come and see you, let this happen for about a week. Once he realizes that every night he will be put to bed with his older brother, then you can transition to the next phase which would involve encouraging him to stay in his bed all night.
At that point you would just tell him that you want him to stay in his bed all night. Tell him that if he wakes up in the middle of the night he should stay in his bed and close his eyes and go back to sleep. If he comes into your room, have daddy take him back to his bed. If he's groggy he might just go back to sleep. If he starts to balk, then daddy could bring him back to your bed and he could sleep on the other side of Daddy (so that Daddy is between you and him). This might mean coming up with a creative way to keep baby from rolling off of Daddy's side of the bed, but if you have a regular mattress and box spring, then you could just use a bed railing on Daddy's side.
I would give that a try for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. If Daddy doesn't support this (he's too tired to deal with him at night) then you could do what I suggested above, and if the 2 year old balks, bring him to Daddy and have him sleep on Daddy's side of the bed. If your son balks at this (and wants to be closer to you) then just tell him you're going to take him back to his bed if he doesn't stop crying. My guess is that he will choose to sleep in your bed with Daddy over sleeping back in his bed with his older brother.
Once you have him sleeping on Daddy's bed then you can work on having him stay in his own bed all night. I'm guessing that if you really work on tiring him out during the day, that he may just sleep all night long without waking up. You could also try this for a week - making plans to do things with him that will tire him out more (take him to the park every day for a week, walk around the zoo - things that make him expend more energy so he's really tired and will tend to sleep all night).
You can also try giving him a protein snack before bed so that you're sure he's not going to wake up because he's hungry. Peanut Butter on crackers with milk works well or you might try little pieces of chicken.
If your 2 year old complains that the 1 year old gets to sleep with you, just explain that you are still breast feeding her at night. He should understand that.
As for the one year old I would start with transitioning her to naps in her own bed. This could mean breast feeding her until she goes to sleep and then trying to lay her down. If she wakes up, just be firm, and lay her back down and pat her back. If she still tries to get up let her know that if she gets up, you will leave the room, and you may have to do that to let her know that you're serious. But always come back in after a minute or two and lay her back down and try rubbing her back again.
My guess is that you know how to transition a child from your bed to their own bed for nap time because you did it with your 2 year old, but others may need some ideas on how this is done.
Once you have your child taking a nap on their own, it becomes easier to transition them out of your bed.
And if you just want some intimate time with your husband before the two children are fully out of your bed, the easiest time for this might be when you first go to bed at night. Put the 2 year old in with the 4 year old, and lay down on the floor with the 1 year old. Breastfeed her to sleep on the floor. Then you can hop into bed with your husband and when she wakes up (hopefully 2 hours later) bring her into bed. Or do what I used to do, which was bring her into bed when you're done with your private time with your husband, before you fall asleep (I didn't want to have to get out of bed once I was asleep).
Feel free to post back if you want more suggestions or if you have any questions. Maybe you could get the 2 year old to sleep through the night in his own bed, AND the 1 year old to go down for a nap in her own bed if you try to tire them both out each the morning for a week. Just make sure they don't fall asleep in the car on the way home from your outing. Cat naps don't help with this plan ;-)

Thank you Kate. I am definitely going to start working on some of these suggestions. You've pointed out some things that I definitely have not thought about. For instance, I do think the two-year-old may be waking up because he is hungry. I don't know why I did not think about that. He is waking up around four every morning and climbing in bed with me, which is around the time he was taking his last feeding before he weaned. For a little while he stayed in bed all night with his brother but then he reverted and he has clearly been going through a growth spurt.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Simple comfortable hotel with good public transport links to the city.
code lock door, no need to check out, cleanliness, food beverages automat beside minibar
Very limited choices for breakfast. It is not worth the cost they charge for it.
The hotel was clean and quiet, the centre was within a walking distance. Breakfast too expensive, we ate in our room or in the city.
Close to the city center and a great value for your money. Plus the tram and train station close to the hotel was also great. Price of breakfast.. but that is a problem at all hotels.
Nice and very clean rooms, tasteful breakfast, family atmosphere.
Very good for this money. Exellent, if you travel by car to visit Dresden. It's really 5 minutes drive to the center of the city. Good breakfast. Owners were friendly. It's not very easy to get to the city without a car.
Very neat, clean and tidy and a good breakfast.
Our hostess was very kind and, although she spoke little English, did her level best to help us with directions, restaurant recommendations etc. The "specialty cake" was delicious.
I liked the rooms, very spacious, clean, with everything you need. Bus and tram close to the hotel go to the city center.
The room was very clean. We stayed at the attic room and because of the window under the bed, you can sleep under the stars. It is a little bit outside of the city center. Can be relatively easy to reach with public transportation, but be careful with the tram and bus bus network, the tram with the station "Grundstraße" stops at the other end of the street, which is approx. 3 km away from the hotel.
The room was silence and perfectly clean. We stayed in a double room but the double bed is made of summing two single bed. This was bad for our backs.
Free internet connection in the room; free parking space; very nice room
the atmosphere and nice service pilows :-)
The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Nice, clean room. Parking and internet facilities available for free. Hotel is situated in a nice subburb of dresden. The center of Dresden can be reached by tram in 30 minutes, a ride which gives you a nice view of the town. The tram stop is on a 20 minutes walk of the hotel. A bit strange that you have to say one day in advance that you want to have breakfast. Breakfast a bit "modest".
Room is very spacy. The house owner is very gentle. Noise because the hotel is just closed to road. And there is some big spiders in the room, scaring my wife. The breakfast, but buffet one, is so little, and different people get different food.
Owner was very nice - knew some english, and tried very hard! Room was tidy on the very top floor, and fan was provided. Unfortunately the fan didnt work all that well as it was very hot on the top floor, and I didnt sleep all that well. At least they knew it was going to be hot and tried to help the situation with a fan! Try to ask for a room that isnt on the top floor in mid summer :) Also no lift - although we are young we still had to carry our luggage upstairs and we were puffing at the end of it!
No internet
very nice rooms for a guesthouse certainly good value for money!!!
Close to major road and a bit from town. Though the public transport wasn't too difficult to work out.
Exceptionally clean. Very good room furnishing - nice and comfortable. Very good breakfast. No
Breakfest was excellent, quite place, very clean Lack of hair dryier
The hotel is very warm and cosy. We had a very pleasent stay at it. The rooms were very clean and as expected. Everything was as described on the web site. It is close to public transport in a very nice and calm neighbourhood. There are a couple of restaurants near the hotel.
Great residential location and a unique building completely modernized but with a quaint flavor.
The room was very spacious and location is within 10 min from center by tram (Public transport is very good in Dresden). The breakfast service could be improved: have a bit more variety in terms of food choice
Although a little far from the city center, a tram can leave you there easily. Comfortable and new. Totally worth it for the price you pay.
Location to down town Dresden. Easy access to street cars. Small urban village. When we arrived the hotel was closed. There was a phone number on the door. We called the number and we got an answering machine. We left a message. We walked down the street to the next entrance way and found a bell/button for "My Bed Dresden" After about 15 minutes someone arrived and told us that the rooms were not ready. We said ok and we left till 3:30pm. When we returned at 3:30 the hotel was again closed. We rang the bell next door and someone came over from across the street. Our room was located across the street in an apartment building. The room was sparcely furnished with ikea furniture. The bed was a students bed, a bit small for two adults. There was no internet and we were told to go to the internet cafe.
- the city center was easy to reach from the hotel, by tram - the staff did not speak any English and was not very friendly; - for 9 days, nobody cleaned my room ; - in the description of the room was presented a wash-basin, a toilet and a chichinette and in reality , none of these were present in the room, but on the hall ; - the directions to reach the hotel were wrong : they recommended me to walk 2 streets and then take a tram, when there were trams starting directly from the train station ; - it was listed that the reception is opened until 8 p.m., but at 7 p.m. the staff has already left ; - the heating was working only a few hours per day and in some days it was stopped
To be honest it's not a hotel. It's a group of flats divided to rooms. They are in two buildings on opposite sides of a street. It's not far away from town's center. It seems they are starting, everything is brand new IKEA. Mattress on a bed was very thin. They have better in IKEA ;) There is no room service. Breakfest was a disaster. No warm dishes (eggs, vienna sausages, wurst), no fresh vegetables, they even ran out of milk on second day! Such a breakfest should be included in ro0m's price not charged extra.
It's a budget accommodation and it's not too far away from the old town if you are driving. There's TV in the room. If you plan to check in late, the reception is closed and you'll have to call and speak in German. We were lucky that a local guest was also waiting outside the door and he called for us. Or we may have to look for another accommodation at 9pm. The room is okay but several things needed to be repaired (shower head holder, blind, etc.).
It was affordable, very clean and friendly. I would stay there again. Nope, I was very satisfied.
Location although just outside the centre, very easy to get to by tram and bus, and if its very fine a nice walk along the river. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast good value for the price although it would have been nice to have some cereal choice. Staff very helpful.
I loved my big airy room, and that the friendly reception guy carried my bag up when he showed me to it. It was very handy to have a market, restaurants, and streetcar stop so close. It was a bit out of the center. My biggest problem was the breakfast system. There were only five tables, but several of them were always covered with used dishes, and there was no way to even pour a cup of coffee until they were cleared and reset. They should either set out dishes and let people help themselves, or add extra staff to keep up with the work.
Easy to find, 10 minutes from highway, free parking on street nearby. Small room, minimalistic interior, internet was out of order
Heavy breakfast, nice hotel with good connection to the downtown Check in time in my reservation was until 8:00pm. I came at 7:00, the hotel was locked and noone there. After some minutes another already accomodated guest came (german speaking) who had a mobile nr. To receptionist. He called to get a code for a safe box with my room keys.
Huge room with a large comforatble bed and a nice bathroom. Very clean, and one block from the the S-Bahn to town. The free parking lot was just barely large enough for 2 cars. If you need to leave before 8 - there is no breakfast.
The Staff was excellent in attending to details. It was immaculate in its cleanliness. Breakfast was superb in every detail. Internet worked very well. It was quiet. I would highly recommend it. If we go back to Dresden we would make this our first choice.
Staff was very pleasant. The room was very nice. The bathroom was very clean.
Good breakfast, nice staff. Good hostel for budget travelers A little bit far from city centre, a little bit noisy. Pillow is too small
Good, clean rooms and facilities. Owner very co-operative and very friendly.
Friendly staff
The attitude of the staff, choice for breakfast; location it is a little bit far, but you can use public transport and tram stop is close
Clean rooms, quiet district, helpful staff, good breakfast. Recommendable. Location is a bit out of center.

With itsy bitsy fashion becoming all too commonplace, we are understandably anxious at the prospect of having to flash a bit of belly or worse, bare a bit of "side boob" this summer. But before you work yourself up into a panic stricken frenzy, spare a thought for poor Gwyneth Paltrow who went head to head "side butt" this week – a far greater evil, I'm sure you'll agree.
Speaking on Ellen DeGeneres's show in the US yesterday, the London based actress spoke of the terror she felt on seeing the nether regions of the stunning Antonia Berardi gown her team had picked out for her to attend the Iron Man 3 Premier in Hollywood. "Let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor" she said, "I work a Seventies vibe".
Too much information? There's a lot more where that came from. Gwyneth, you see, is not the only one that's been slipping into barely-there bottom-flashing dresses in recent months. Planet celebrity has gone insane for the side-bum.
Channeling Liz Hurley in the most literal possible sense, Lady Gaga recently arrived at the Principe Hotel in Milan rocking a homage to the famous safety-pin Versace dress and in doing so flaunting her spongiest asset.
She is joined by Kristen Stewart, a regular red-carpet exhibitionist, who chose a transparent cappuccino gown by Zuhair Murad to attend a premier for one of the Twilight films.
Jennifer Lopez, Jessie J and perhaps more surprisingly the usually demure January Jones has also made a few bum-notes in recent weeks.

have you activate swap ???
I have a BackTrack v2.0 Final hard drive install on two machines, a 800mhz VIA C3 desktop with 1gb RAM and a 60gb 5400rpm hard drive, and on a 800mhz Pentium 3 laptop with 512mb RAM and a 20gb 5400rpm hard drive.
I have no problems what so ever with performance on the laptop, everything runs fast and smooth. But on the desktop, my major issue is with the performance of GUI based applications such as Firefox, Ettercap and Wireshark. When using the scroll wheel of the mouse in Firefox, the scrolling action is very jerky and delayed, not very smooth at all.
What could be causing these performance issues? Its driving me nuts!
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
have you activate swap ???
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
I had created a swap partition when setting up the drive with qtparted, but looking at it just now it does not state that it is active.
The only partition stated as active is my NTFS partition, but I am having issues booting that as well. Could these two issues be related somehow?
I am going to try and set the swap partition as active and see what happens.
Even with the swap partition set as active I am still experiencing the same issues, both with the performance and the ability to boot from my NTFS partition.
What I may end up doing is just starting over from scratch on this machine, oh well!
I just installed a fresh Windows XP/BackTrack v2.0 Final dual boot, and still have the same performance issues with both Firefox and Konqueror.
One of two things I can think of that may be hindering the performance of this machine and these applications...
1. The ATA bus speed. Perhaps this 2.5" hard drive suffers performance wise when attached to an ATA-66 bus/cable?
2. The AGP aperture size. The BIOS is set at 64mb, but BackTrack detects is as 128mb?!?
Could anyone see why any of these two points may be affecting this system?

Rabbi visakhar Baer met an old peasantFrom the village of Oleshnyawho had known him when he was youngNot being aware of his rise in the worldthe peasant called to him, "Baer, what's new with you?""And what's new with you?" asked the rabbi."Well," answered the other, "I shall tell you.What you don't get by your own work, you don't have."From that time on, whenever Rabbi Baerspoke of the proper way to conduct one's life,he added, "And the old man of Oleshnya said:'What you don't get by your own work, you don't have.'"
Consciousness has two dimensions: one is that of having and the other is that of being. And there are only two categories of human beings: one who is struggling hard to have more and more, and one who has understood the futility of it and has changed their life into the other direction, the direction of being. These people are trying to know who they are.
In the world of having you only believe that you have something, but really you don't have anything. You come alone empty handed and you go alone empty handed. And all that happens in between is almost like a dream. It appears to be true, while it is there it appears to be real, but once it is gone then you understand that nothing was really happening. The reality has remained untouched by your dreaming. The world of having is nothing but a world of dreaming.
The religious person is one who has become aware of the futility of it all. You cannot have anything except yourself. And all that you have except yourself is a deception. It is an illusion. And, in fact that which you have possesses you more than you possess it. The possessor finally becomes the possessed. You think you have so many things - riches, power, money - but deep down you are being possessed by those same things, you are being encaged, enchained, imprisoned by those same things.
Look at the rich people. They don't possess riches - they are as poor as any other poor man in the world, they are as beggarly as any other beggar. In fact, whatsoever they possess possesses them. They are burdened by it.
So the first thing to be understood is that these are the two doors: having, being. If you are still lost in the dream of having, you are in the world. You may be sitting in a cave in the Himalayas, that makes no difference - the world is still there because the world is in the very desire to possess. And nobody has ever possessed anything.
Only one thing can be possessed and that you already have with you - your own self, your own consciousness. But to have that being, one has to work hard. You cannot get to it easily. First you will have to detach yourself from the world of having. That will be almost like a death because that's where you have got identified - you are your car, your house; you are your bank balance. And when you start awakening out of this dream you start feeling as if you are disappearing because all your old identities start disappearing. One identity disappears, one part of your being disappears. There is emptiness left behind.

Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, no other city in Europe has seen more change than the German capital. Two Berlins that had been separated for almost 30 years have become one, and in the scar of barren borderland between them, cutting-edge architecture, culture, entertainment, nightlife, and shopping make Berlin one of the world's hippest destinations. The new Berlin embraces a culturally promising but financially uncertain future. "Poor, but sexy," a line coined by Klaus Wowereit, the flamboyant mayor, is the city's state of mind. While unresolved social and financial problems linger, the city embraces its future as an international centre for avant-garde fashion, culture, art, and media, with a zeal rarely found in better-off cities.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Posting four more school records, the No.14-ranked Saint Leo men's swimming team closed-out action at the eighth annual SCAD Invite (Hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design), Saturday evening from the Chatham County Aquatic Center. The Lions amassed 444 points and finished in third place.
Compiling another four records on the final day of competition, the Lions closed competition with 11 all-time marks.
"Our men really represented Saint Leo well this weekend," stated head coach Paul Mangen. "We wanted to post top-10 relays and it looks as though most of them will be closer to top-five. We posted three-of-five top relay times, and won the majority of the individual events, and to do that with this level of competition is something to be proud of. We raced a ton and believe they've gained the confidence in our process of training here at Saint Leo and I've been impressed with their toughness and competitive spirit. Needless to say, I'm very optimistic for these young men. We now will shift our focus to final exams and their academic endeavors, and then get back to work with the Sunshine State Conference meet preparations."
The 200 Medley Relay team posted the first record of the day as they clocked-in at a time of 1:33.95. The 200 Free Relay also notched a program mark in the 200 Free Relay as they smashed the school's previous mark by nearly two seconds at 1:22.23.
Individually, Pawel Trenda earned a pair wins in the 200 IM and 200 Backstroke. He touched with a finishing time of 1:49.17 and set a new program mark in the 200 Backstroke at 1:47.96.
The group closed-out competition with a 400 Free Relay record time of 3:02.33. The team, assisted by Trenda,set the record by three seconds.
The Lions will return to the pool again on Monday, December 31, as they close-out the 2012 portion of their schedule with a neutral site dual meet with Pfeiffer University. Meet time is set for 11:00 a.m. from Ft. Myers. Fla.

Paul McCartney adds special show to upcoming U.S. tour
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio
Paul McCartney's upcoming tour now includes a special West Coast date.
The former Beatle is confirming he will headline the final concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park in August.
Phil Ginsberg, director of the city Recreation and Park Department which operates Candlestick, told "SF Gate" that the stadium got the nod from Paul thanks in part to a personal invitation from San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.
The mayor asked the rock legend to help say goodbye to the ballpark where he played his last live concert with The Beatles back in 1966.

Does the arrow pass through the deer?
I am working on a system to track wounded deer. My brother told me that many hours are spent trying to find the deer after they've been fatally wounded. The injured deer runs for some distance before dying.
However, a friend told me that the arrow typically passes all the way through the deer and does not remain in the wounded animal. Is this correct? If it's true, it would mean that the arrow itself cannot be used for tracking the deer.
This would be a good thread this time of year.
I always want my arrow to continue through the deer. I get two holes for blood to exit the deer.
Few good tips for trailing deer.
I always carry toilet paper to mark the fresh blood.
Go slow and never hurry.
I try to follow the tracks of the deer when blood is stopped.
If your tracking at night. I use a Coleman lantern. Blood shows up well under that light.
Everyone should have some good tips for tracking. Lets hear them
DBElite bows, Vortex Binos, Trophy Taker sights, Carter releases, Goldtip Arrows. CBE sights, Vapor Trail Strings, B Stinger stabilizers
A good method for those who are color blind with reddish colors like me when trailing a deer and cannot get on a blood trail combine a spray bottle with 2 parts water and 1 part hydrogen peroxide and spray it, it will make the blood that you cannot see foam thier for getting you on the trail.

I am hoping to use a Molly this year. 1 part black lab, 1 part blood hound. I just hope that she works.
I have used the Coleman lantern and the toilet paper to mark the trail. Both work very well.Introduce a kid to the outdoors, the American way depends on it

Get down on your hands and knees (and don't be afraid to get your face close to the ground) when blood dries up.
Look at the underside of leaves on the ground that may have been turned over by a fleeing deer, also look at the undersides of plant leaves still on the stalk as well as high on the plant. Look at individual leaves, not the whole plant or the ground as a whole, you will find it harder to see the small spots of blood if you try to look at the whole thing versus seeing the individual leaves.
If you don't find a constant trail of blood, don't be afraid to follow a likely trail a little ways and look further down that trail, just be sure to mark your blood trail.
Mark the blood trail with a bio-degradeable toilet tissue (very few people actually go back and pick up their trail markers). It will help in determining direction of travel. Deer have a tendency to to do a "J" hook right before they die, so if you notice that you are circling around, you might be getting close.
Look for tracks or obvious trails that the deer would likely follow.
When shot, often they will head back to where they came from, this can be helpful if you know where the deer was coming from, it will give you a smaller area to look around in if you loose the trail.
Do not walk around the trail you are following too much or you risk disturbing some sign (and you might miss it when you need it most).
If it has been an hour or more, look for ants or flys congregating in an area. Blood draws these creatures and may clue you in to some sign.
If all esle fails, a wounded deer will rarely run uphill if it has the option of staying on flat ground, or downhill (but do not make the mistake of thinking that they will not run up hill, I have seen it before). A gut shot deer will most likely move toward a water source. Don't forget to look under blow downs, deer will crawl under there to hide and wind up dying there. Look ahead of you, you may save yourself a lot of time following sparse blood sign. Climb a tree a little ways and glass around, white bellies stand out very well. Last but not least, even a house hold pet (dog, cats are terrible trackers) can follow a blood trail if given enough time. I am actually working with my Jack Russell to be able and willing to do this for me.
Hope some of this was helpful!

Many hours should not be spent tracking "wounded" deer. They should be good as dead on imact and not run much more than 50 yards( I only shoot small deer, and do not know how far a well shot canada buck will run). I try to get pass throughs, because 2 holes are better than one, and all of the blood on the arrow can tell you right away if you made a good shot(dark blood=bad. Pink and frothy=take 13 steps foraward to retreive trophy). My 60# bow has no problems with pass throughs. A good shot is the key to eliminating stressful tracking jobs...not technology. Shoot well, and always let your deer have an hour or so before you retrieve it (unless he clearly dies on the spot). Wait longer on bad shots. If eyes are closed-shoot again.
Those are words of advice from a hunter who found out the hard way.
if a blood trial is good and then suddenly ends without a trace its a good chance the deer doubled back. walk the blood trail agian but stay five feet of eaither side of it and see if it starts agian. ive had this happen to me a few times.FBSA MEMBER
counting down till next season!
I remeber a few years back they had a hook that attached to the end of the arrow like in bowfishing. You then tied a rope from the spool which was attached to your stabilizer and when the arrow went through so did the string and you just followed the string to your kill if it didn't break. If I'm not mistaking it was called a game tracker if you google it you can find one. They were like 20.00 or 30.00 dollars with 500yds of string.
All depends of what you hit and what you don't hit. Hit a bone, it won't go through. Hit nothing, it's going all the way through."I have a passion for whitetail deer, not a passion for killing them. The fact that I deer hunt does not make me their enemy, but their guardian."
I play snake

If you're thinking of putting a homing device in the arrow or broadhead, don't bother. He's correct, the arrow usually does pass through the deer.

I think the most important thing in tracking is to allow the animal plenty of time after the shot to bed down and not run. Most deer after the shot slow down after a mad dash in less then 200yd. And then slowly walk and find a place to bed down. A perfect shot, they are dead on the run and fall within sight. A poorly shot deer can typically be found less than 300 yards from the stand if given plenty of time to bed down. On a poor shot I would give 6-12hours for deer to bed down and die. Nothing worse than jumping a gut shot deer that has only 1hr to bed down, that deer would run and run and run and most likely not be recovered, do to very little blood on the ground and less blood when the deer is balls to the wall to the next farm.H/C Carbon 4 Runner pro 65lb, 26dl

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
EVERETT — A surveillance system is planned in the Everett School District's new administration building to allow officials to monitor what is happening in every school by fall of 2014.
"Given the need for ensuring safety on our campuses we need to update so it can be seen quickly in a central location as well as in each school," said Mary Waggoner, school district spokeswoman.
While the cameras will allow for a quick response in emergencies, it raises privacy issues especially for a district that has come under fire in the past for a hidden camera in one of its schools.
Attorneys have reviewed the monitoring system guidelines "to make sure we're doing what we can to ensure the safety of students, staff and the public in our schools and being mindful of people's privacy," Waggoner said.
On Tuesday, the Everett School Board is scheduled to consider a new policy and guidelines for the surveillance program.
A draft document says surveillance cameras in schools won't be placed in areas where people expect privacy, such as locker rooms and restrooms. It also requires signs to be posted disclosing the presence of video cameras on school property.
The draft rules say that recordings won't be viewed in public, but the district anticipates that people may seek access under open records laws. "Such requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis," according to the document.
Only district employees, school administrators and law enforcement will have access to the live video monitoring.
"It won't be like the movies with a bank of screens and someone watching them," Waggoner said. But if an emergency occurs at one of the schools, it would allow the district to find out where school intruders are in the building.
The school district currently has 82 older video-monitoring cameras installed in school hallways and other public areas, Waggoner said. Most of the cameras are in middle schools and high schools. Those are accessible only at individual schools.
The program will begin with installation of the digital video monitoring equipment in the new administration building near Everett Memorial Stadium. The building will have 20 to 30 of the new digital cameras, Waggoner said. The school district expects to put this portion of the project out to bid this week .How much it will end up costing the district won't be known until they get the bids.
With the administration building scheduled to open in October, "it seems an opportune time to put in a policy that clearly authorizes the district to have that kind of security on its facilities," said Jeff Russell, school board president.
The building's surveillance system will be used as a test site before similar equipment is installed at schools throughout the district, Waggoner said. Installation of the cameras in the district's schools is expected to begin in the spring and wrap up in the fall.
There won't be video surveillance monitoring of classrooms, Waggoner said, but classroom video could be used in teacher evaluations.
A clause in the district's teacher contract bans the installation of a video camera in a classroom without prior written approval from the Everett Education Association.
The school district came under fire in 2008 after admitting it had secretly recorded video in the classroom of English teacher Kay Powers who was helping students publish an underground newspaper. They suspected Powers of violating school district policies. The district had a vendor install the hidden camera in May 2007.
Representatives of the Everett Education Association could not be reached for comment on the proposed surveillance system guidelines.
Cameras previously were installed on many of the school district's buses. When school opens this fall, another 14 will be added for a total of 126 video cameras on school buses to help provide for safety and security, Waggoner said. That security system is separate from the one now used in schools.
Two other proposed policies, involving student searches and banning athletes from using marijuana also are scheduled for discussion on Tuesday.
The proposed policy change on student searches follows a controversy that erupted in March when a 14-year-old North Middle School student was called to the vice principal's office and asked to log in to her Facebook account.
The school district said it was part of an investigation into cyber-bullying, but that it did not involve the student. The student's parents and the ACLU called it a violation of her privacy.
The change would specifically allow an assistant principal to conduct searches of students and their property when they have reason to believe there's been a violation of the law or school rules.
However, it does not address a request made in March by the ACLU for a new school district policy spelling out when school officials may or may not require students to give school officials access to the students' online accounts.
Waggoner said the district and the ACLU are continuing to talk about the incident and most of those talks have focused on training for staff and students, Waggoner said. Staff training is scheduled for later this summer on when school officials can request access to students' social media accounts, she said.
The ACLU attorney involved in the case was out of the office on vacation last week and was not reached for comment.
A proposed change to the district's athletic policy comes in response to the state's legalization of small amounts of marijuana for those 21 and older.
Currently, anyone involved in athletics cannot posses or distribute tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs. The change, if approved, would add marijuana to that list.
"We want to make it very, very clear, because of the potential confusion over the legalization of marijuana, that it's still not allowed on school grounds and for our athletes," Waggoner said.

Meeting Tuesday
The Everett School Board is scheduled to meet at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the district's offices, 4730 Colby Ave. in Everett.

Realizing the potential of Santa Barbara County as a premium grape-growing region, Fess and his son, Eli, originally set out in 1989 to plant a small vineyard and sell fruit to local producers. But, as Fess' daughter, Ashley explains, "Fess is from Texas, so he can't do anything small." The Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard now farms almost 700 acres on four vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. View all Fess Parker Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

I watch this fight every couple of weeks but I've been watching it once a week for the last two months. It always amazes me how it turns around so completely. It's probably one of my favorite fights of all time but every time I chat to different people about it I always get quite a bit of variation on how they scored it.
I had it a draw.
Henderson winning the first three rounds all 10-9 and Shogun winning the fourth round 10-9 and the last round 10-8 for a 47-47 card.
How did you good people see it and why?
Here's the fight metric incidentally - http://blog.fightmetric.com/2011/11/...icial-ufc.html

There are now a number of low-discharge D-size cells available. These cells are as powerful as powerful alkaline batteries, and they hold 85% of their charge for a year. The highest-capacity D-size rechargeable cells are rated at 11000-12000 mAh (milliamp hours).
Here are our recommendations:
The Highest Capacity D-Size Batteries: Powerex
The Powerex batteries pictured above are rated at 11,000 mAh, and they are good quality batteries. On Amazon, they get 4.9 out of 5 stars from 15 reviewers. They cost about $30 for a pack of two on Amazon. They are a good choice if you really need the maximum capacity from a D-size cell.
A similar product is the Maha Imedion battery, which offers a capacity of 9500 mAh. They priced slightly higher at around $34 for a two pack.
The Most Affordable D-Size Batteries: Tenergy
Tenergy makes D-sized rechargeables which are rated at 10,000 mAh (milliamp hours). These batteries are about half the price of the Powerex batteries, but they offer a capacity of 10,000 mAh (milliamp hours). They are priced at about $36 for a pack of four cells. These batteries have the same low-discharge chemistry, and will hold most of their charge for a year.
The Worst D-Size Rechargeable Batteries
I don't recommend getting Energizer D-Size rechargeables, because they are AA cells that have been repackaged in a D-sized shell!

Post subject: How long until we are back into contention?
A good draft this year, brining a young foundation. But my question is when will we see the jets back into the playoffs? Did we do enough this year? Will it be the year after with another good draft and offseason?
I think we will be around 5-11 to 7-9 next year, then adding a strong WR like Marquise Lee in the draft, and having a good free agency period I think '14 will be the year we get back into the playoffs.
Thanks to Jamison. on the sig.

I think the next draft is going to be the draft that will get us over the hump. We added talent within the trenches, but here comes the challenge of finding talent for a young QB to build around. Where Tann failed at with Sanchez. Idzik seem to be on the right path and at this rate, I think we will be a wildcard team in 2014.
A lot is riding on MM & Geno. Idzik did a great job of putting a lot of potential around the QB position. Ivory, Goodson, Powell, Holmes, Hill, Kerley, and a oline with depth. Hill or Ivory might pan out to be a home run hit. Who knows at the moment.
Ivory, Hill (If he develop), 2014 WR draft pick, Kerley, 2014 draft TE pick is probably what we are on track for. I'm not sure how long Idzik will keep holmes.

2014 we can get there. We need to focus on OFFENSE. This next offseason we need to throw some money at a major FA weapon (Jimmy Graham? Though Marty probably wont go that route) or get one in the draft. I don't want Rexs whole "we dont need offensive skill players GROUND AND POUND BABY" ideology anywhere near this team. It ruined Sanchez and could potentially ruin Geno. Just let Marty do his thing and give him the players he needs.

Reason, it will take a year for people to get Marty's system down. I think Goodson and Ivy can be legit RB's in MW's system.

I think people are forgetting just how good this defense can be.
A strong/dominant d-line can make up for potential discrepancies elsewhere. Linebackers and safeties don't have to be elite if you have great d-line and corners. That's what we're looking at on defense.
Offensively, I think MM picks us up a LOT. Not saying we're a top-whatever scoring offense, but I certainly think we will be much improved with the addition and Ivory and bolstering that oline. We will be able to run the ball enough to take Sanchez (or whomever) out of the position where we must throw the ball so much and thereby will reduce turnovers (we were something like 1st or 2nd in TOs last year, in large part to INTs and fumbles by 6).
For the first time since 09-10 our O-line has potential improved and now we have 2 explosive athletes to run the rock. Yes, it is a pass happy league, but we all saw how effective running the ball can be to minimize the possessions Brady or whoever can get.
I look for us to be competitive this year. A WR corps of Holmes, Edwards/Hill, Kerley really isn't AWFUL when you can run the ball and work off play action.
Like they say, no games are won in the offseason but I think we have made solid moves that will allow Rex to focus on D and MM to have a competent offense to work with.

Until we see what they really have at QB, it's tough to give an answer here.
They should be a .500 team with average QB play and if they don't lose their best offensvie and defensive players like they did last season. If a QB steps up and is above average, they can fight for a playoff spot this year. If Geno shows ability to be a legit NFL QB, they should be fighting for the division in 2014.
If no QB on the roster shows anything at all this year, who knows when they'll be contenders.

It truly is forgotten I feel that people forget we lost our best players on both sides of the ball. It's hard for any team to recover from that, i'm surprised that we actually still won some ball games after that (let's not forget, we were still in contention up until the Titans game).
I feel that this year will be tough at times, but this is going to be a year of positive growth. I feel this team has more potential than last years team. Yes, losing Revis is huge, also losing Landry is a bane, but I think this is a year to see what we have.
Every position is on notice, we have young potential (guys 25 and under) scattered all over the field look:
QB: Smith and McElroy (I feel he may surprise us in this offense)
RB: Ivory and Goodson and Powell (granted I feel Powell lost his chance)
WR: Hill, Kerley and White
TE: This is a hole, a guy can dream about Hayden Smith can't he!
OL: Winters
DL: Wilkshake, Coples, Richardson, Ellis
LB: Davis
CB: Milliner and Wilson (still going to play a big role in that slot role)
S: Bush (I think he's going to surprise a lot of us)
Yes, this is a really positive outlook thinking all these guys will pan out, but still, the talent can be there. This is your new crop of Mangold, Ferguson, Harris and Revis. There are some ballers on this list, we just need them to live up to they hype.
I'm saying with a growth year this year, we make the playoffs in 2014, with Rex at the helm as well. Brighter days are ahead men, it's amazing how getting rid of Tebow has given me such a more positive view on this team!

12 picks and a ton of cap space to make some small moves because I hate to rely on free agency(thats how we get into cap trouble)

Yeah I voted 2014 because I think we can sneak into the playoffs which I think makes us contenders at least kind of. As far as legit contenders I think 2015 is more realistic.

This has to be a developmental year. Rex will do everything he can do win and I love that, but we just don't have the play makers to constantly win or to blow teams out. Well play good defense, but its difficult if there on the field for 40mins a game. Im praying that picking up offensive lineman in this draft and adding Ivory and Goodsen will spark a resurgence in our running game. IF we can run the football and stop the run at a high level, well always have a chance. It just comes down to consistency.

Imagine we sneak into the playoffs at 9-7 then somehow make it to the AFC Championship with a rookie QB?
Oh wait we did that four years ago.
Anything can happen. It is more of how the rest of the AFC turns itself around.
Cinn. Denver, NE, all look solid.
Balt. may take a step back.
Pitts. got younger.
Miami made some big moves.
So while it is not impossible to turn a franchise around quickly everything needs to fall into place just right,

Perhaps the stress of the 2011 "mini bear market" has my nerves a little frayed — or perhaps it is the celebrative atmosphere here in Dallas on the potential eve of the Texas Rangers' first World Series championship getting the better of me — but I find myself thinking a little too much about booze these days.
As an investor, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Alcoholic beverage stocks have had a good run, and most have handily beaten the S&P 500 this year.
There is quite a bit to like about beer, wine and liquor stocks. Like tobacco, firearms, gambling and adult entertainment, booze stocks fall into that stigmatized segment of the market known as "sin stocks." They also happen to be fabulous long-term investments.
Because of the social stigma of profiting as a purveyor of vice, many high-minded endowments, pension funds and other large institutional investors are prohibited from investing in sin stocks, which tends to keep their price relatively low and their dividends relatively high. This means sin stocks tend to have the characteristics of winning value stocks for those of us with no such moral qualms.
The proof is in the pudding. While there is no "sin index" for us to use for comparative purposes, the Vice Fund (MUTF:VICEX) comes awfully close. The Vice Fund's mandate is to invest primarily in tobacco, alcohol, gambling and defense stocks, and over its life it has absolutely crushed the S&P 500.
Vice's exposure to the gaming industry proved to be a disaster when the economy fell into a tailspin in 2008; had the fund avoided this sector and focused more heavily on booze and smokes, its returns would be off the charts. But even with the routing of the gaming industry, Vice's 80% return since 2002 is double that of the S&P 500. It's good to be bad.
So, dear investor, with all of this as background, whadaya drinkin'? Beer, wine or liquor?
Today, I'm going to offer up one stock for each. And while three stocks does not constitute a diversified portfolio, I recommend investors make vice investing a major part of their research process.
In the spirit of World Series baseball, we'll start with beer. In recent years, the global beer industry has become highly consolidated and now is dominated by just four major players: Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD), SAB Miller (PINK:SBMRY), Heineken (PINK:HINKY) and Carlsberg.
While a case can be made for any of these beer behemoths in a diversified portfolio, my recommendation is the Brazilian regional giant AmBev (NYSE:ABV).
AmBev is owned by the much larger Anheuser-Busch InBev, but it trades separately on the NYSE as an ADR. The company has no net debt, and it absolutely mints money. ABV's return on equity for the trailing 12 months was an impressive 34%, and its growing its earnings per share at a 20%-per-year clip. Not bad.
Ambev also is a great long-term play on the rise of the South American middle class. As Brazil, Peru and other rising Latin stars continue to develop into modern economies, companies that profit directly from the legions of new middle-class consumers should do quite well. And Ambev, with its dominant position, is poised to profit quite nicely.

Set all equipment and appliance switches to the OFF position. This is to protect against kicking out the circuit breakers, blowing fuses, or damaging equipment when the full surge or current hits as the power comes back on.
Take measures to protect your equipment or experiments. Remember that air operated controls and water pressure may be affected.
Extinguish all flames in laboratory buildings.
Increase ventilation by opening windows. If the failure lasts more than a few minutes, it will be necessary to evacuate persons from darkened areas (restroom, stairwells, or other areas with no windows or natural lighting).
To prevent the Physical Plant service desk from being overwhelmed with calls, only building administrators should report power outages. Physical Plant may be able to estimate the duration of the power failure. If the failure is to be lengthy, administrators will decide on continued operations in their building. Laboratory buildings may have to be evacuated shortly after a blackout to minimize risks to personnel resulting from inoperative fume hoods.
Report all persons trapped in elevators to 570-577-1111 - Public Safety.
If it becomes necessary to evacuate the premises during a blackout, be sure to protect all valuables and make sure that all equipment is safe when the power comes back on.
D. During periods of very heavy power usage, the area utility company may have to reduce voltage. This is commonly called a "BROWNOUT" and may occur during periods of high air conditioner usage. In the event of a brownout, the following steps should be taken.
Turn off all lights and equipment not necessary for safe operation.
Turn off all window air conditioners. Central air conditioning may have to be shut down. However, general ventilation will be maintained in centrally air-conditioned buildings at diminished levels.
Identify equipment which may be sensitive to low voltage, and take positive steps to prevent its damage.
Full cooperation during a brownout is extremely important. Such cooperation may possibly prevent the loss of all electrical power.
E. If an emergency exists, activate the building alarm. CAUTION: You must also report the emergency by phone to Public Safety at 570-577-1111.
F. All building evacuations or localized evacuations will occur when an alarm sounds continuously and/or when an emergency occurs.
G. Take purses, and lock office doors upon leaving. Walk, do not run to the nearest stairway exit. If you are disabled, yell for help to go down stairs.
H. When there is a power failure, do not use the elevator. It may become inoperative and a trap.
I. Assist disabled persons in exiting the building. If these persons are unable to use the stairs, assist them to a stairwell where they will remain. Notify Public Safety officers on the scene where these persons are. They will assist them in evacuating the building.
J. Evacuate to a distance of at least 500 feet from the building and out of the way of emergency personnel. Do not return to the building until instructed to do so by Public Safety officers.
K. A Public Safety officer will respond with the appropriate authorities to evaluate the situation and to supervise an evacuation or appropriate action.
L. The Public Safety dispatcher will initiate the proper notification procedure for contacting appropriate personnel when a power failure occurs on or near campus.
M. At present, campus building lighting may not provide sufficient illumination in corridors and stairs for safe exiting. It is therefore advisable to have a flashlight and portable radios available for emergencies.
