Allison Williams Drops by "Today"
Continuing her promotional duties for her hit HBO series "Girls," Allison Williams paid a visit to the "Today" show on Monday (January 6).
Not letting the subzero temperatures bother her, the 26-year-old actress wore a pink dress with a long gray coat as she made her way into NBC Studios.
During her chat, Miss Williams shared some details about the upcoming season of her HBO series, including the struggles her character Marnie now faces.
"She's depressed, she's been dumped, she's sleeping on her mom's couch – everything's terrible," Allison explained. "I think she'll need to fall apart completely before she can actually be a human being in a functioning way."
She continued, "I think the lesson is sort of a warning against perfectionism, and it can actually work against you if you don't forgive yourself the little things that make you unique – if you want to call them flaws, you may."
"I think Marnie will definitely have to learn to love the parts of herself that aren't perfect (or) at least acknowledge them. That would be a good start," Allison added.
Miss Williams was also able to get a first look at her new ELLE cover. "Oh my God! This is so exciting. I kind of can't believe this."

Home Page >> Information Sheets >> Synthesis Essay Example
Take a look at the Wal-Mart essay on the following pages. It is a synthesis essay based on the Wal-Mart essays from the 6th edition of the WARAC. Read very carefully and take specific notice of how the author uses the sources to support the argument being made. Nowhere in the essay is there any one source essay being regurgitated or blindly repeated. The author is always showing you how to mix and match the information that has been read to support that author's particular view. You probably will disagree with the final conclusion, but you should at least recognize the elements used to build the argument.
I am ashamed. I never realized that I was such a bad person. I have sinned against my community and my fellow townspeople on a regular basis. What is my crime? I shop at Wal-Mart. According to one train of thought, I'm helping destroy Main Street U.S.A. by shopping at a predatory national chain. But am I really?
As of 1994, Wal-Mart had 2,504 stores across the U.S. and was expected to open 125 more that year (Ortega 205). Wal-Mart stores do over $67 billion dollars in annual sales (Norman 207). A Wal-Mart store in Iowa, after being open for two years and building its base, can generate $10 million a year in sales. A Wal-Mart store planned for Greenfield, Mass. would have employed 274 people (Anderson 218) or 240 people (Johnston 222), depending on which source you read. Discount stores like Wal-Mart allow small to medium towns with little population growth to hold customers to the local shopping area by cutting down on trips by locals to bigger urban areas with lower prices (Stone 210). With all of these benefits, why would anyone be upset about a Wal-Mart store opening in their town?
The concerns against Wal-Mart all seem to focus around one main concern: Wal-Mart and similar stores have changed American retailing, and the protestors don't like the change. Albert Norman, the best known anti-Wal-Mart advocate, claims that Wal-mart represents "... an unwanted shove into urbanization, with all the negatives that threaten small town folks" (209). This urbanization appears to be connected, in the minds of the anti-Wal-Mart brigade, to "mindless consumerism, paved landscapes and homogenization of community identity" (Ortega 204). In other words, instead of a centrally located downtown shopping area with 30 different stores all locally owned, there are now only a handful of bigger stores located on the edge of town in malls and giant concrete shoeboxes, all of them owned by or franchised from huge out-of-town corporations.
The $10 million dollars an average store generates annually comes at the expense of $8.3 million that would have been spent at local stores anyway (Norman 207). That extra $1.7 million sounds positive until it's pointed out that every dollar spent at a local business stays in town and circulates 4 or 5 times, while a dollar spent at Wal-Mart goes straight to corporate headquarters (Anderson 218). Thus fewer dollars are in local banks for mortgage or other local loans. The 274 jobs created by a new store would actually only be 8 new jobs when the jobs lost from closed competition is factored in (Anderson 218). In addition, many of these jobs are not equivalent. People who were owners are now managers who must answer to corporate headquarters for their hiring, stocking and other decisions. From this perspective, it would indeed seem that big stores like Wal-Mart are "...organizations from one place going into distant places and strip-mining them culturally and economically" (qtd. in Ortega 206).
The major problem with opposition to Wal-Mart is that it's too late. American culture has changed, and people no longer shop the way they used to. People are more mobile and are no longer limited to shopping at the stores available in a local small town Main Street, regardless of price. Price now matters. People feel it's a matter of principle to drive 40 miles to save seventeen cents on a routine purchase (Anderson 220). If a town does stop Wal-mart from coming in to town, Wal-Mart, or a similar store, will simply locate in another small town in the area, and then instead of being a "Wal-Mart town," the town will become one of the towns suffering a 16 to 46 percent loss of retail sales (Stone 210).
Instead of stonewalling the opening of new Wal-Marts, local businesses and home-town advocates need to adapt to the new retail landscape and figure out how to fit in around the big store, not compete with it (Johnston 222). Since many of the anti-Wal-Mart advocates are aging hippies and counter-culture advocates (Ortega 203), they should be very comfortable with the notion that alternative ways of doing business are the most effective way of surviving after Wal-Mart moves in. James F. Moore, a management consultant, talks about business as being an ecosystem that is undergoing a natural evolution from locally owned businesses to large nationally based businesses. Those who adapt and change will survive; those who cling to the outdated system will become extinct (229-230). Instead of trying to preserve Main Street U.S.A., a system that has become an evolutionary dead-end, anti-Wal-Mart and small town advocates need to determine what areas of consumer demand aren't serviced, or aren't adequately serviced, by the big stores and focus on filling that market niche (Stone 211-212). In this way, downtown can remain a viable source of community identity and offer goods, services or conveniences that the big stores can't or won't offer. Survival in the face of apparent extinction is actually a more effective means of protest against corporate giants than simply being "blindly obstructionist" (qtd. in Norman 209). One way simply complains, while the other actually builds and adds a value to the community.
People who shop at stores like Wal-mart aren't evil or wrong. They aren't contributing to the death of their small-town life. They are simply rewarding Wal-Mart for being the most efficient and effective retailer of certain merchandise. That's called capitalism, and it's supposedly the American way. Basically, the fight against Wal-Mart is a fight which cannot be won because it is a fight against a fundamental shift in how Americans shop and view their responsibilities as consumers and citizens. We don't eat at Joe's Corner Diner or the local Italian eatery anymore; we eat at McDonald's or Pizza Hut. We want conformity. We want to know that the food we eat will taste the same no matter where we eat it. Similarly, there is a feeling of comfort when you walk into a "different" Wal-Mart and it has the same products in the same location as your own local Wal-Mart. Big merchandisers, with large advertising budgets and distribution centers, can make sure that we all have access to the same products at the same time and the same price. Thus, since they can't meet this need as efficiently as the big retailers, the future of small town or local merchants will be entirely dependent on understanding what the big chains can't or won't supply. The future for small stores lies in becoming an alternative to the big stores, not in trying to compete.

Community heaps praises on retiring schools chief Boyd
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Policy and planning took a backseat to celebration and storytelling at Tuesday evening's meeting of the Alachua County School Board, where educators and community leaders flocked to bid farewell to outgoing Superintendent Dan Boyd after more than four decades in the district.
"I've worked for eight superintendents," said board member Gunnar Paulson, who's known Boyd for 42 years. "You, by far, were the best."
A banner hung from the School Board podium during the meeting — "Farewell Dan Boyd, We Salute You!"
Nearly every principal in the district attended the School Board meeting, many dressed in purple to commemorate Boyd's 24 years as principal of Gainesville High School, whose colors are purple and white.
For more than a handful of the administrators in the room, Boyd is not just a colleague. He was their principal or their children's principal; he hired some of them for their first teaching jobs.
One such disciple is Eileen Roy, now chairwoman of the School Board, whom Boyd hired at Gainesville High about 30 years ago.
She thanked him for that Tuesday night, and for being a fierce proponent for students and for public education.
"Under your leadership, we've had such innovation," Roy said, citing the district's expansion of magnet programs, recognition as an "A" district for several years running, appearance on national lists of top high schools and the one mill-tax increase, which helped music and art programs flourish in Alachua County schools during the hardest of financial times in recent memory.
But Boyd's advocacy for the best interest of students is most notable, Roy said. "Your voice will be sorely missed in defense of public education."
Members of half a dozen organizations came out to thank Boyd for his support over the years and wish him well, including the Reichert House, the African American Accountability Alliance, Gainesville Police Department and the Black on Black Crime Task Force, as well as the Alachua County Education Association.
"You worked with us throughout the years to make our schools safe," Gainesville Police Chief Tony Jones said.
Alachua County Schools spokeswoman Jackie Johnson was the next to tell stories.
Since Boyd hired her, too, she said, people often approach her in the grocery store or at community events to tell Johnson that Boyd was their principal, or that as a student they'd been disciplined by Boyd.
"And they will tell me this proudly, as if it's some sort of badge of honor," she said.
That's a testament to his impact on the community, Johnson said — first as a teacher, then an assistant principal, the principal of Gainesville High during a critical time in its history, and later as the superintendent of schools.
"We are going to miss Dan Boyd the educator," Johnson said. "And we are going to miss Dan Boyd the public school advocate. But those of us who work for Alachua County Public Schools are also going to miss Dan Boyd the leader and Dan Boyd the boss. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to work with and for Dan Boyd over the years."
And at 72, Boyd has spent more years than most in the school district. Sometimes people ask him how he's managed to stay on so long, he said.
"Every person I meet gives me a little energy from them and it keeps me going," Boyd said.
"I have been able to enjoy each and every day with you, and enjoy the great pleasure we've had of working with the people's greatest resource of children," he told the room.
Finally, Boyd thanked some of the educators he worked most closely with, former deputy superintendent Sandy Hollinger and former assistant superintendent for planning, budgeting and systems accountability Keith Birkett, plus all the educators and board members in the room.
"Keep having fun," he told them. "Smile every day, and love every child that comes your way."

Adams tests Brazilian cleantech business waters
While Portland Mayor Sam Adams visited Sao Paulo, Brazil to share his insights on clean technology investments and energy efficiency, his trip could, one day, mean much, much more.
Adams, in a five-day trip that revolves around the C40 Cities Climate Summit, is spending part of his time prospecting for possible Brazilian companies that might look to establish a Pacific Northwest presence. Adams met with Brazilian and U.S. economic development types to broach future growth opportunities. While Adams called Brazil "an emerging superpower," Portland remains a bit of a business mystery to South American companies and investors.
"We gave them a feel on what the possibilities might be for Portland in terms of operations and joint ventures," Adams said in a phone call from Sao Paulo. "Sales is about prospecting, and this is definitely a prospecting trip. We're not well-known here. Folks don't know that Nike's in the Portland region. But while our visibility is low, our opportunities are significant."
Organizers of the C40 conference paid for Adams' trip.
During the trip, Adams has served on panels in which he detailed Portland's green industry development tools, including his economic development plan that is nurturing several environmental business sectors, and framed the city as a "living laboratory" for innovative businesses.
He also discussed such programs as Clean Energy Works Oregon, which started as a Portland pilot project that helps homeowners better equip their houses with energy-conserving materials.
Adams also told the mayor-attendees about Portland's EcoDistricts initiative, in which resources would be reused and transportation options would be easily procured. Portland hopes to develop such areas in the Lloyd District, around Portland State University and in the Lents neighborhood.
Along the way, Adams crowed about one of his recent successes: attracting SoloPower Inc. to Portland after Wilsonville activists effectively scuttled the solar company's deal to expand to the Portland suburbs. He also pointed out that the area hosts SolarWorld AG and a growing number of solar industry suppliers.
Adams, who returns Saturday, is impressed with his hosts' entrepreneurial bent. Brazil's gross domestic product is rising by 7.5 percent yearly (the United States' figure dropped between 2007 and 2009) and some 30 million residents have been lifted out of poverty during the last decade.
"It's an economy that's moving forward very quickly," Adams said. "Given that (the conference) is paying for the trip, it's a good time to see what kind of prospects there might be here."
Fifty-two mayors are attending the conference. Adams sat in on a Wednesday conference with former President Bill Clinton. Clinton was on hand as Adams and 39 other mayors signed an agreement with the World Bank to launch projects that combat climate change.
Adams had met Clinton before, but had generally remained in the background as Clinton chatted with Adams' former boss Mayor Vera Katz.
In Brazil, Clinton "was forthright, charming, funny and poignant," Adams reported.
Adams also gave Sao Paulo Mayor Gilberto Kassab a Portland Timbers jersey and a team scarf. The Major League Soccer franchise has raised Portland's world profile, Adams said.
"It's a common bond," he explained. "Almost every mayor I've met from inside and outside the U.S. knows about the Timbers."

Medicare's trust fund will run dry in 2024, five years earlier than forecast just last year, and Social Security's will be exhaused by 2036, adding fuel to the debate over cutting one or both programs to reduce annual budget deficits.
The government programs' trustees issued their gloomy findings today amid a rancorous debate in Washington over the future of the New Deal and Great Society programs, which eat up huge and growing shares of the federal budget.
The pessimistic outlook was hastened since the last report in August 2010 by the continued impact of the recession, which has sapped revenue and increased spending.
Both programs are running in the red and will continue to do so, the trustees said. Medicare is paying out more in benefits each year than it takes in in taxes. Last year, its trust fund wasn't expected to run dry until 2029.
Another factor: longevity. The report projects that men who turned age 65 in 2010 can expect to live another 18.6 years, an extra half-year compared to last year's report. Life expectancy for women at age 65 is projected at 20.7 years, up from 20.4 years in 2010.
"Americans are living longer, and health care costs are continuing to rise," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said. "And if we do not do more to contain health care costs, our commitments will become unsustainable."
Social Security has longer before its trust fund runs dry in 2036, but it ran a deficit last year for the first time since 1983. Now it's projected to run deficits every year; last August, the trustees had projected a few more years of surpluses from 2012-14.
If the trust funds run out, the programs no longer would be able to pay full benefits. Social Security would be able to pay only about 75% of promised benefits through 2085. Medicare could pay 90% starting in 2024, dropping to 75% in 2045.
The Social Security Disability Insurance program is in the worst shape. Its trust fund will run out before 2018, the trustees reported, forcing it to borrow funds from the retirement insurance program.
The Medicare figures are suspect, because they rely on billions of dollars in savings projected under the health care law signed by President Obama last year. Without passage of that law, the Medicare trust fund would be projected to run out in 2016, just five years from now.
The savings in the law depend on many factors, such as cuts in payments to doctors that Congress habitually sidesteps, as well as improvements in doctors' and hospitals' productivity. There is no guarantee those will happen; in fact, the physician payment cuts surely will not.
Richard Foster, Medicare's chief actuary, mentioned these and other factors in a separate opinion at the end of the lengthy report which, in essence, calls its conclusions into question:
The financial projections shown in this report for Medicare do not represent a reasonable expectation for actual program operations in either the short range, as a result of the unsustainable reductions in physician payment rates, or the long range....
The economic outlook remains more uncertain than usual. Due to the sensitivity of hospital insurance trust fund operations to wage increases and unemployment, the current slow recovery from the recent recession adds a significant further element of uncertainty to the trust fund projections.
Unlike past years, the annual report could have an immediate impact on the most important domestic policy issue pending before President Obama and Congress -- how to reduce annual budget deficits and get a handle on the nation's $14.3 trillion debt.
Geithner has said that debt ceiling must be raised by Aug. 2, or the country would face an unprecedented default on its obligations. Republican leaders in Congress have said they won't vote to raise the debt ceiling without substantial spending cuts. House Speaker John Boehner wants $2 trillion.
"For decades, politicians in Washington, D.C., have looked up at the size and scale of the fiscal challenges facing our country, particularly in Medicare, and chosen to kick the can down the road," Boehner said. "Today's trustees report is another reminder that we've run out of road. With tens of millions of Baby Boomers beginning to retire, this is the moment to act. The time is now."
The GOP leaders have ruled out tax increases, but the White House insists they remain on the table. That could include raising the Social Security payroll tax cap or increasing the Medicare tax that pays for hospital insurance.

TOPEKA – The Kansas Highway Patrol will begin issuing citations in a different form next week in part of the state, and would like to make Kansans and our travelers aware of the changes they may see if they are pulled over and cited.
All officers who are part of the Kansas Highway Patrol, including state troopers, motor carrier inspectors, and Capitol Police officers, will eventually be using an electronic form of citation, rather than the typical hand-written copies that people may be familiar with. With support from the district courts throughout Kansas, the Patrol will make the switch to electronic citations in the northwest region next week, and will switch the other six regions of the state over in the next few months.
"The e-citation system is an extremely efficient platform that will further our goal to provide professional, quality service to the motoring public, as well as to the courts throughout Kansas. This endeavor is another positive step in the right direction. We are pleased to be able to further enhance our partnership with the Kansas judicial system," said Captain Scott Harrington, commander of the Patrol's Public and Governmental Affairs section.
An important thing for motorists to be aware of is that for the new electronic citations, no signature is required. Motorists should not notice much of a delay if they are being issued a citation, and the new electronic citations will not change the fine amounts for violations.
Court officials praised the Kansas Highway Patrol's e-citations system. "From the court system's perspective, the e-citation program could result in added efficiency and accuracy in processing these kinds of cases," a court spokesman said.
Switching to electronic citations will allow for better efficiencies in the Patrol's way of doing business. Some benefits include:
Grant tracking for particular initiatives—seat belt enforcement, construction zone, saturation patrols, etc.
Improved internal stats to provide more consistency in training and oversight.
Citations will be easier to read, resulting in more accurate entry of information over handwritten copies.
The citations will be integrated with the Kansas Law Enforcement Reporting system, which the Patrol utilizes for accident and arrest reports.
No new hardware was required to implement the system in patrol vehicles. The Patrol leveraged existing equipment, which was already in place in Patrol vehicles. Courts have the option to purchase an additional interface for electronic file transfer, or can continue to manage information through manual data entry.
Reduced lag between the time the ticket is issued and the time the information is available to the courts, improving customer service to the public.
Reduced time to process tickets for the 35+ courts moving to electronic file transfer.
Tickets will now include Citepay information so those who were cited can pay online. The citations also include court contact information.
The ability for courts to manage court dates electronically, allowing better management of traffic court dockets.
Ability to report on traffic citations/warnings issued in a given county.
Green initiatives–reduced number of duplicate copies will be required. Violations and warnings can be printed on a single page.

Please advise.
Thank you for creating the simple contact plug in, I was excited to find something that was just a basic form. I got the plug in installed and activated, but when I sent a test message to myself using the form, the email never showed up. I tried using a different address with the same result. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for your time. Best, Z
Fournd out that this was a problem with my host, yahoo. Have since switched to bluehost and it works just fine. Thanks!

Apple has announced the all-new iPad Mini with Retina Display that will start at $399 for a 16 GB model. According to the company, the device will be available in late November 2013, which should put it on retail shelves just in time for the official start of the holiday shopping season.
Major Upgrades on Display
Last October, Apple introduced the iPad Mini to capitalize on the emerging market of smaller tablets. This year the computer giant is back with a major upgrade that gives its miniature tablet big-screen viewing capabilities. Boasting a 7.9-inch display, the new device offers a whopping 2048×1536 resolution, which is the same resolution found in today's full-sized 10-inch models. Additionally, its pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (ppi) is a step up from the 163 ppi that graced the first-generation Mini. Combined with the razor-sharp quality of the Retina display, these screen features promise that users can enjoy images and text in superior clarity whether they're watching movies or browsing on the Internet.
The new and improved iPad Mini delivers more than a high-quality viewing experience; it also thrives in the performance department. Under the hood is Apple's A7 chip, an energy-efficient processor that brings desktop-level performance to the mobile arena. This is not an exaggeration. The A7 is built on the 64-bit architecture that drives modern desktop computers, and it includes a graphics processing unit (GPU), which is a key component in high-performance desktop gaming. As a result, the upcoming iPad Mini should excel when users are playing the array of games and hundreds of thousands of apps it's designed to handle.
Array of Available Apps
Speaking of apps, users will have a wide variety to work with right out of the box. The iPad Mini follow-up comes loaded with iOS 7, the updated mobile operating system Apple rolled out in September. iOS 7 offers iPhoto for mobile photo editing, in addition to iWork, a productivity suite loaded with tools that support the creation of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the go. There has been no mention of the touch ID sensor functionality baked into the iPhone 5s, but the Mini will include additions such as smarter navigation, improved mobile device management, and seamless sharing with AirDrop, all compatible with iOS 7.
Out of Thin Air
In announcing the official arrival of the iPad Mini with Retina Display, Apple also unveiled an all-new next-generation tablet called iPad Air. Slated to launch on Friday, November 1, this lightweight device measures out at 9.7 inches and features the very same Retina display technology that has made the Mini 2 such a highly anticipated item. With two new tablets, two relatively new smartphones, and older gadgets like the original Mini that are still popular all up for grabs, Apple looks set to have one jolly holiday season.

1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport (1 Review)
We bought our 1998 Montero Sport from an individual two years ago and had the timing belt replaced as soon as we bought it. The only other issues we've have with the vehicle were an alternator replacement ( did this twice because the first one was bad ), and replacing the door locking mechanism on the left rear passenger door. Oh - forgot; replaced valve cover gasket and main seal to repair oil leak. This is not too bad considering the vehicle is 12 years old with 165,000 miles on it.

How to Begin Integrating Social Media into Your Marketing Mix
Brands use social media to build dedicated communities. Experts and influencers grow their authority. Small businesses engage local audiences. And so, whether you like it or not, you have no choice but to get your business on social media. But I bet you're wondering: How am I supposed to actually use it? I hardly have the time for it right now. And even though I have tried it in the past, I have never seen any positive results from social. In this post I'll show you exactly that. How to integrate social media into five key areas of online marketing to make it work for your business. Read more
Using PhantomJS to monitor Google Analytics
A simple change to the way Google Analytics is installed is (unfortunately) a common way to render your analytics data worthless. To make matters worse, if you aren't aware of the setup change, you might falsely attribute any differences in reported traffic to something else, rather than the Google Analytics change.
In an ideal world we would have a 'set it and forget it' warning system that will alert you any time the analytics code is changed on a page. I'm going to walk you through some code that can be used to extract what Google Analytics resources are being used. Read more

Daddy or chips? A/B Testing to Make the Right Ad Copy Decision
Making decisions can be difficult; and the more people and opinions added to the process, the harder the decision becomes. Fortunately, a scientific method known as A/B Testing (occasionally referred to as split testing) takes the guesswork out of making these crucial decisions, by allowing you to put multiple ad choices in front of your audience to determine which ad customers find the most engaging, and thus which boost CTR.

text: At Salsa Racing Dance Studios, we enjoy teaching children to dance Salsa in their most impressionable years, because of the absence of bad habits and their incredible capacity to learn. For such reasons children tend to learn quicker than most adults. Teaching a child to dance Salsa allows the child to learn discipline and coordination as well as culture, with enthusiasm and tons of fun, not to mention the social skills developed while interacting with other children their age. Once your child reaches adulthood, the memories attained and the rewards reaped are priceless and everlasting. Allow our Salsa Racing Dance Studios skilled instructors the pleasure to trade smiles and teach your child to dance Salsa with pride and the Latin tradition.

You would expect that Jamaica real estate prices would be quite high, considering the posh hotels and resorts, the elegant restaurants, and quite frankly, just the brand name 'Jamaica', but actually it is not so!
"...Awesome site! You are very thorough with information."- Mari (USA)
Click Here for our recommendation on purchasing house in Jamaica
Leading Realtor, Andrew Issa, was quoted as saying that currently purchasers get more 'bang for the buck' on real estates as opposed to other Caribbean islands. Meaning that you get a lot more real estate for the money in Jamaica.
There should be no surprise therefore, of the increasing number of foreigners who are showing heated interest in Jamaican properties.
I recall a recent article in one of our notable newspapers, the Jamaica Observer reporting that over 55% of all real estate transactions in Jamaica are completed with overseas clients!
According to Deborah Cumming, the managing director of Century 21/Heave-Ho Properties, the real estate market in Jamaica remained buoyant market last year when total transactions were estimated to be at 50 billion dollars, and that was a conservative figure!
Admittedly, we had some concerns of bureaucracy in the past, but with concerted pressure on the government from real estate developers, tremendous work has been done and the process has gotten a lot smoother.
[Click Here To Get Help On Buying Property in Jamaica.]
Very soon, it is expected that Jamaica will solidify its position as having the best real estate properties in the Caribbean. Mr. Issa identified the huge investments that are being made in the country's infrastructure as the driving force.
He stated that "the infrastructure upgrade that is taking place will drive our market. The airport upgrades, the highways and the new water system for the North Coast all are coming together to improve the country", "plus, we are blessed with the most beautiful island in the Caribbean. We have an authentic history, culture, and people."
In terms of the high-end resort market, the Palmyra Resort development in Rose Hall, Montego Bay and the Chris Blackwell's development, Goldeneye in Oracabessa, St. Mary stands out.
Since the Palmyra is a fairly new timeshare development, prices are still fairly expensive. If you are looking for an affordable timeshare ownership opportunity, you would do well in buying a Jamaica timeshare on the resale market
Jamaica is still the jewel of the Caribbean, and will remain so as we propel our country forward.

An appellate court has ruled that the plaintiff in the last lawsuit related to Dana Point's closed medical-marijuana dispensaries did not have standing to sue the city.
The ruling by the state 4th District Court of Appeal affirms a ruling by Orange County Superior Court Judge Linda Marks that Jeff Schwartz, a medical-marijuana user, did not have standing to sue the city because he did not establish that the city infringed on his rights.
In Schwartz's suit, he claimed that Dana Point's zoning – which does not allow marijuana dispensaries – violates his right to use medical marijuana because he now has to drive farther to purchase it. The only known dispensaries remaining in Orange County are in Santa Ana.
Though state legislation has granted the right to access marijuana for medical use, it did not grant a broad right to access without "hindrance," and there is no fundamental right to it, the appellate court ruled.
Schwartz, a lawyer, represented dispensary Beach Cities Collective in a 2011 lawsuit against Dana Point and some staff members, alleging conspiracy and defamation. The suit was dismissed eight months after it was filed.
Dana Point has spent about $1 million on three lawsuits against dispensaries Beach Cities, Holistic Health and The Point Alternative Care since 2010.
The city originally was awarded $7 million in the three suits, which alleged violations of health and safety codes and laws against unfair competition. But appellate decisions in the Holistic Health and Beach Cities cases reduced the awards to about $2.5 million overall.
So far the city has collected $20,000.

Dynisha Woods has worked a wide variety of jobs in her young life.
Since graduating from the University of Texas Health Science Center in 2006, the 33-year-old has served as a health science teacher and as a neonatal care nurse for Scott & White Healthcare.
She is also an Army wife whose husband is deployed.
Last year, Woods became the owner of Scrubtopia Medical Outfitters in Harker Heights.
"It's always been a dream of mine to own my own business," Woods said. "I used to research on what exactly I wanted to do, own a franchise, or start something on my own. After nursing in the area, I ultimately found what I wanted to venture into, something the area needed badly from a medical worker's standpoint, a medical outfitters store."
Woods felt Scrubtopia would be a wise business venture in Bell County, which boasts four hospitals and several clinics. The store opened in May 2012.
"With all of the clinics, hospital staff, dental care, vets' offices, and college nursing students in the area, a scrub and medical outfitter was really needed in Harker Heights," Woods said. "What I've been surprised to see since opening though are how many different people from all strokes of life who get their scrubs from us - pre-kindergarten teachers, day care, and just regular people who like wearing scrubs. They are very comfortable."
Woods stocks scrubs in a diverse array of sizes and styles.
"I saw a need for a scrub store in the area because I myself am a tall women and I find it hard finding medical attire that properly fits me," Woods said.
"We try and stock many different sizes for tall, bigger, or even expecting mothers. We also get a variety of styles for the scrub divas out there, the people who have to have the latest and greatest to try and look a little different than their coworkers."
The Killeen High School graduate alternates between business owner and part-time nurse. When she isn't running the store, Woods places her trust in her manager and favorite employee, her mother Rose Hastings.
"I love my role at Scrubtopia," Hastings said. "The hours and meeting new people are great, but working with my daughter has been wonderful. I am very happy that I can be a part of her dream."
Scrubtopia Medical Outfitters is at 108 E. Farm-to-Market 2410, Harker Heights.

Many still remember him bringing back the soda fountain
By SAM HATCHER Funeral services were held last week for a community leader who, through his profession, was a very good friend to Wilson County for more than four decades. Dr. Hardie Sorrels Jr. came to Lebanon in 1964. He acquired the historically renowned Shannon's Drug Store on Lebanon's Public Square and became a fixture in local health care almost immediately.
He also proved that he knew a thing or two about marketing and how to win the hearts of local customers when he reopened Shannon's long popular soda fountain and brought back many memories to the days when the local drug store was crowded with young army recruits during maneuvers here in the 1940s and of course always with Cumberland University students.
Reopening Shannon's soda fountain was like a nostalgic cultural reawakening for the community and needless to say it was a very popular move by Shannon's new owner. Dr. Sorrels later purchased Medical Arts Pharmacy on College Street and operated that business until 2002. When not filling prescriptions, answering questions about how to cure a lingering sore throat or dipping a scoop of ice cream at the soda fountain, Dr. Sorrels spent a great deal of his time working as a volunteer Boy Scout leader. During his tenure as Scoutmaster of Lebanon's Troop 434, an astonishing 14 Scouts received Eagle Scout recognition, including his son, Dr. Hardie Sorrels, now a practicing Lebanon physician. Dr. Sorrels died at age 77. He served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, graduated first in his class at the University of Tennessee School of Pharmacy, was an avid hunter and a master carpenter. And, if you asked his wife, Myra, or their two sons, Hardie and David, or daughter, Dixie, they would surely say he always put his family first.

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
February 9, 1998
Explanation: Have you ever seen the woman in the moon? One might think so upon at first glance at the Witch Head Nebula. This reflection nebula, however, has more to do with the bright star Rigel in Orion than with Earth's Moon. More formally known as IC 2118, the Witch Head Nebula glows primarily by light reflected from Rigel. Rigel is located about one photo-width off the image to the right. Fine dust in the nebula reflects the light. The blue color is caused not only by Rigel's blue color but because the dust grains reflect blue light more efficiently than red. The same physical process causes Earth's daytime sky to appear blue, although the scatterers here are molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. The nebula lies about 1000 light-years away.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Next year, a nonprofit organization hopes to begin processing tropical foods on the island of Hawaii with the aid of two energy technologies developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists.
This vision was advanced last week as Mike Gleason, the president and CEO of The Arc of Hilo, inked a memorandum of understanding with LLNL Director George Miller had already signed the document on behalf of the Laboratory.
Based in Hilo, Hawaii, The Arc of Hilo has leased an 18,000-square-foot warehouse to provide a location where local farmers can develop higher-value food products, such as fruit leather, jams and natural sweeteners, Gleason said.
Founded in 1954, The Arc of Hilo offers a wide range of services to people with disabilities, including employment training and job placement, and seeks to create additional jobs in the community for people with disabilities.
The Livermore energy technologies -- a new advance for harnessing solar energy and another for storing and retrieving electrical power -- would be used to provide electricity for the food processing facility.
"We strongly embrace this relationship with the Arc of Hilo as the latest example of LLNL's long commitment to education, research and public service in the Pacific region," Miller said.
"We think working with the Lab and these technologies are a tremendous fit," Gleason said. "It will allow us to create these job opportunities with much lower energy consumption. "We are looking at these cutting-edge technologies as being the first step in bringing training and jobs related to sustainable and innovative advances to our community."
It is hoped that the plant's electrical bills could be reduced by 50 percent, Gleason said, noting that the seven-island state has some of the higher electricity rates in the nation.
"Our building will be 'green' from three different points of view," Gleason observed. "First, it will recycle the layout and some equipment, such as a flash freezer, and cooling and drying rooms from the old food processing enterprise of the owner, Ernie Matsumura. Second, it will integrate LLNL's solar thermal and electromechanical battery technology into the food processing scheme, where each technology is at its best. And third, modifications to the building will be developed with reference to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) construction standards."
Annemarie Meike, the LLNL business development executive who has catalyzed and developed the business partnerships, noted: "We are excited by the potential of helping to make some of Mike's vision a reality with LLNL technologies, and thankful to Ernie for recognizing our common interests and introducing us."
Two Northern California start-up businesses, Amber Kinetics of Fremont and Tassajara Technologies of Livermore, are in the process of licensing the LLNL technologies.
Amber Kinetics is licensing the electromechanical battery/flywheel and electrostatic (ES) generator/motor technologies, while Tassajara Technologies is licensing the solar energy advance.
The LLNL flywheel battery, developed by Dick Post, is a high-tech version of an ancient concept: using a rotating wheel to store kinetic energy, as in a potter's wheel. In this case, the energy is stored in a rotor made of a high tech fiber material that spins above a magnetic bearing at about 40,000 to 50,000 revolutions per minute. The flywheel is used for the bulk storage of electricity.
Post's complement to the flywheel, an ES generator/motor is useful for generating electricity. A new configuration of the ES generator/motor has been developed and its performance has been validated by computer simulation.
The LLNL solar thermal technology, developed by Charles Bennett, can supply electric power for six cents per kilowatt hour at the single family residential scale, and is lower than the current retail price for residential electric power of about 10 cents per kilowatt hour.
About 25 percent of the incident sunlight in the LLNL system is converted to electric power, with most of the remaining solar energy captured for water heating or space heating. In winter, about 90 percent of the incident sunlight is exploited.
The building of the technology prototypes is funded in part by a novel "grassroots" maturation scheme for clean technology rolled out this year by the LLNL Industrial Partnerships Office under a grant from the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office.
Some of the foods that may be processed into higher-value products, according to Gleason, include papayas, yams, pineapple and passion fruit or lilikoi.
The Arc of Hilo has 205 employees, and about 100 of them have disabilities, according to Gleason.
The agreement between LLNL and The Arc of Hilo also was bolstered by the Lab's National Security Office through the "National Security Field Experience Initiative."
This initiative aims to promote the growth of science and technology and workforce development in the Pacific Region in partnership with small businesses, nonprofit organizations, academia and government.

| wasted effort if the data is so under used.
| What we hope to achieve is that access is made available and 'on-line' I
| will be able to correct or add. No doubt I have mistakes, you found one not
| so long ago and, having a wider exposure, more will hopefully be found and
| corrected. There are still certain things to be sorted out and, I am very
| happy to say, two very knowledgeable people hopefully will make it all
| possible. One of the things that is going to be done is having the data

Lens president Gervais Martel has confirmed that defender Rafael Varane will join Real Madrid.
Martel, whose club was demoted to the second division for next season, told Lens supporters that they shouldn't bemoan Varane's departure as he would have left even if the team had stayed in the top flight "because he is phenomenal."
The 18-year-old central defender was also courted by Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain but Martel says "I will be proud to see him play in Real colors."
Varane has already met Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and Zinedine Zidane, who acts as an adviser to the club's president.
According to L'Equipe newspaper, the clubs have agreed a 10 million fee and Varane will sign a five-year contract on Monday.

Ford Focus Electric Will Require Almost No Maintenance
One of the big advantages of an electric car is the lack of routine servicing they require. With only the battery and electric motor present, consumables like fluids, filters, belts and the like are obsolete.
Ford is making this a big selling point for their upcoming Focus Electric, as it released a list of 25 items that will never require replacement or repair for the first 150,000 miles. Of course, we normally shy away from blatantly running press releases, but the document gives a cool insight into one of the big differences between EVs and gasoline powered cars.
Of course, that's assuming that the battery technology is all sorted, and it lasts through the 150,000 mile mark…
Hit the jump to take a look
CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2011 – When it comes to maintenance, the all-new Ford Focus Electric rewrites the owner's manual.
The battery electric drivetrain in the Focus Electric reduces the number of moving mechanical components compared with a conventional internal combustion-engined vehicle. And that means Focus Electric drivers will spend far less time and money on maintenance.
Here are the top 25 items that usually require inspection, maintenance or replacement during the 10-year, 150,000-mile life of a conventional car that the driver of a Ford Focus Electric will never have to worry about:
Air filter Alternator Battery Clutch Fuel filter Fuel injectors/fuel pump Motor mounts Motor oil Muffler Oil filter O2 sensors Power steering fluid Radiator Radiator hose, lower Radiator hose, upper Serpentine belt Spark plugs Spark plug wires Starter Thermostat Timing belt Transmission adjustment (automatics) Transmission filter (automatics) Transmission fluid or oil Water pump

Katy Perry Rejects $20M 'American Idol' Offer (REPORT)
The "Wide Awake" songstress has rejected a $20 million offer to appear on singing the competition as the newest judge, turning down a spot at the panel between returning judge and possibly next season's mentor Randy Jackson and newcomer Mariah Carey.
Why did Perry opt out of the opportunity?
Perry is currently tied up and her schedule made it impossible for her to do the show, according to TMZ.
Though the show upped their reported previous $18 million offer in an effort to encourage Perry to accept the gig, the singer reportedly rejected the deal as she thought the job wasn't the right career choice for her at the moment.
As Celebuzz previously reported, Canadian singer Alanis Morissette is also being in discussions to join the hit FOX series.
"I live to mentor, so my heart is much more open to the idea of that than even 10 years ago when I, perhaps, wasn't in a position to be able to offer much advice, solicited or otherwise," she says.
It's been reported that Nicki Minaj, Enrique Iglesias, and Nick Jonas are also in talks to join the show, though only Carey's involvement has been officially confirmed by the studio.
FOX did not immediately reply to Celebuzz's request for comment regarding Perry's offer.

text: The effort to change the law intensified as the growth of the Internet increased and companies' out-of-state sales volume swelled. Many sellers felt protected by a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states could not force out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax. But the court, in effect, invited Congress to create a law that would give the states the authority to require that taxes be collected.States have a lot of incentive to go after the revenue. The combined budgets of all the states had deficits of more than $100 billion a year from 2009 through 2012, primarily because of the drop in tax receipts during and after the recession, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an organization that studies tax issues. THREE BILLS INTRODUCED Three separate bills were introduced in the last Congress that would authorize the states to require remote sellers to collect taxes. In the Senate, the Marketplace Fairness Act had bipartisan support but did not come to a vote. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., one of the bill's sponsors, has told The Associated Press the bill was tabled because of concerns by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., about the burdens tax collection would place on companies in his state, where there is no sales tax. But the burden small business owners fear may not be as bad as they think. The government would likely require that states make the process easier for small companies. And the smallest of these businesses are expected to be exempt. The proposed Marketplace Fairness Act exempts businesses that have $500,000 or less in sales from remote states. But Durbin says that number is open to negotiation. "That's not set in stone," Durbin says. "I want to come up with a number that spares anyone from concern." He also says that the tax computation software will have to be user friendly.

A six-person jury in Sanford, Florida found George Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watchman, not guilty of killing Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black teen, on Saturday. The jury, composed of six women, all but one of whom were white, acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder as well as a lesser charge of manslaughter.
On February 26 of last year, Zimmerman saw Martin walking home in the rain in his father's gated community and thinking Martin a dangerous threat, approached him and soon after shot and killed the unarmed black teen. The jury deliberated for 16 hours after a nearly three-week trial during which Zimmerman's defense argued that he'd been shaken by home break-ins and was attacked by Martin, killing him out of fear for his own life. The prosecution argued that Zimmerman, who ignored a dispatcher warning not to approach Martin, was driven by malice toward Martin. With their verdict, the jury decided that Zimmerman could have been justified in killing Martin that rainy night.
Courtroom proceedings during the trial studiously sidestepped race--Judge Debra Nelson barred attorneys from using the word "racial profiling" during the trial in a murder case that was driven entirely by racial profiling.
Observers of the trial reacted to the verdict with outrage on social media. Below are a few of the responses from folks in the racial justice world.

This week's Top 3 on 3 features a variety of great outdoor efforts as Spring is in the air.
At No. 3, we head to Virtue Field where Vermont attacker Graham Horvath skies to put back the loose ball for the goal.
It's two Big Green bombs at No.2, as Dartmouth's Jeff Keller and Nick Lombardi go yard in their 15-7 home opening win over Siena.
For our No.1 play, it's a special moment, 20-years in the making. Tied at 15 in double overtime, UVM women's lacrosse players Samantha Gallerani finds the back of the net to give the Catamounts their first win over Dartmouth since 1993. That clutch goal makes it the top play in this week's Top 3 on 3.

For chapter 1, go here: http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:ThatVolturiFangirl/Ellie_Uley-_Fanfic
Chapter 3
When I returned from the forest, I phased back, got changed, grabbed a quick sandwich and headed to Jay's house. Earlier, I had heard Paul's thoughts suggesting that he had brought him back so I didn't need to ask.
I hadn't seen him since he'd been dragged off by those stupid gothic leeches. My phone's inbox was empty even though I had sent about five messages already. I had to see him to make sure he was ok and nothing bad had happened. A tight feeling formed in my chest. The 'what if' questions began to whiz around in my head.
What if he was injured badly? What if they almost drained the life out of him? What if I misheard Paul's thoughts before and he was still there? What if...
I couldn't even bare to think about the last option as I walked along the path wearing my hood up. The storm had come and passed, leaving only heavy rain and winds in its wake. The hood would at least stop the rain hitting against my face. The aches had started to get fainter in my chest and leg.
Less than half an hour later, I strode up to his door. His house was a small, white bungalow which fitted in nicely with the surrounding ones. There was quite a long wait before someone answered my knocks. Hope built up inside me until I saw Jay's brother, Ruben, standing there.
I tried not to look too let down when I attempted to smile, "Hey Ruben... Where's Jay?"
"He went out. Said he was going to find you." Ruben answered in an expressionless tone. He was fourteen, average sized and had blonde hair with bright blue eyes. He didn't look like Jay much, except he had the same smile and his eyes were shaped the same. He was one year younger than his brother.
"Did he say where he went?" I asked. A gust of wind bashed against me but I wasn't effected. I was too strong for the wind to bring me down.
"Yeah, I got a message off him saying you weren't at your house so he went to the beach."
I let out a sigh. That was just my luck. I walked all the way there and he's going the other way. Not like it mattered, walking didn't tire me anymore. I was just irritated by it.
"Okay, Ruben." I said, "Thanks."
I turned without hearing anything from him and wandered off the way I came. The door clicked shut.
I walked onto the La Push beach and felt my shoe sink deep into the waterlogged sand. The rain had stopped a while back and a bright orange sunset was dancing and shimmering in the glittering water. On a large rock near the water sat a silhouette of a male figure.
I knew almost straight away who that was, "Jay?"
He turned around, pulling his hood down. A familiar grin filled his face.
Jay was tall and thin. He had pale, white skin and light brown hair that was growing to the bottom of his ears. His eyes were an icy blue and his face was gentle and caring looking with that obviously easily angered look included (even though he wasn't at all easily angered). He had one of those smiles that made you want to mirror him.
I ran through the sand, pulling off my trainers as they got stuck in it and dashing barefooted up to him. I flung myself into his arms (not hard enough to push him over though; I was used to not loosing control of my strength.) "Ellie! Where have you been? I was worried!" He said excitedly.
"Sam wanted the pack to get together... I was out for two days..."
"Oh..." He sighed, "Someone should have told me!"
My smile faded, "Sorry... I thought Sam would have told you. Why didn't you text me back?"
He hugged me in silence for a few seconds then pulled away and looked at me, "I wasn't sure if it was you. It didn't sound like you... I think I was just paranoid..." He paused, "I missed you like heck, El."
"I missed you too. They didn't hurt you, did they?" Concern flashed in my face.
"No..." He answered, "A few bruises. That's it."
I growled under my breath, "Stupid parasites."
"Don't, Ellie. I was talking to Dr. Cullen the other day and_"
I didn't like the sound of this, "And what? You like him?"
"He's not so bad..." Jay was calm.
I didn't like the Cullens. I knew that Sam made us defend them against the gothic leeches but if I had a choice I wouldn't have done it. I couldn't stand the sickly smell of the stupid things. They made me sick.
"Jay, they're the enemy! They bring nothing but trouble to us!"
"To you, Ellie. I'm not like you, remember? I'm human."
"They draw you in! Don't trust any of them!" I felt the heat begin to boil inside me. The animal wanted to break free. I fought against it and my arms began to violently shake.
Jay backed off. "You're shaking, baby... El, you're scaring me..."
I tried hard to steady my breathing. My hands balled into fists. He would never understand how hard it was to contain myself when I was new to the pack. I inhaled slowly, speaking through my teeth after I did so, "Move... Back..."
It got harder to hold back the transformation. Every time I thought about the conversation we were having it raged back up again.
It must have been a minute later when I opened my eyes again and looked at his worried face about two meters away from me. "You ok?" He asked, extending an arm towards me.
I breathed slowly. "Yes..."
He sighed with relief.
"So you like the Cullens now?"
"They're alright, Ellie, just give them a chance!"
That was it. He was so stupid to keep on persuading me after that episode. It was that little sentence that pushed the button and sent me into a fury, no stopping me.
"I told you never to trust them, Jay! I believed you when you said that you'd tell no one about the Quileutes! I also believed you when you agreed to never trusting vampires!"
"I'll never tell anyone about you, Ellie... I'm not that stupid."
I tried to say something in protest; just that little push for him to go back on his decision. However, all that came out of my mouth was a thunderous canine snarl. The anger boiled up inside me to an unbearable level and the shaking wouldn't stop. In effort to stop myself shifting near Jay, I attempted to run off in the opposite direction to where he stood. I got about half a meter away. Suddenly, in less than a second, I transformed into my wolf self right in front of my boyfriend.
This wasn't the first time.
I'd done it twice before in the last two months. The first time was by accident when he'd followed me into the forest on my third day in the pack.
As soon as it was over, I breathed hard and growled every time I thought about the conversation, the very thought of Jay on 'team vampire.'
I opened my eyes and focused on him, hoping I hadn't hurt him in any way.
