"Pah! Video games? Who wants to spend all their time doing menial chores in an attempt to increase some arbitrary and entirely imaginary numeric measurement of one's worth as a person? Now, if you'll excuse me I have to get to work. I need to be at my desk by nine if I want to get paid."
"You're still playing that? Way too easy; I clocked it ages ago. I'm into WoW now."
"Oh, I know that game! It's a bit like monopoly isn't it?"
"In Soviet Russia, Economy get screwed over by YOU."
"'Oh, look how good I am! I won TGE! Mneh-mneh-mneh!' What a dick."
"Finished that report on paradigm data shifts? Good for you! I know someone who's getting paid this week!"
The Global Economy, often referred to as Finance or TGE, is a massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMRPG) created by Wall Street. It is widely recognised as one of the earliest Massively Multiplayer RPGs to be released, predating Internet based, online variations such as World of Warcraft and Second Life. It continues to be the most widely played and successful RPG of its type.
The first expansion set of the game, 'Economy: The Industrial Revolution', was released on January 16, 1818. The second expansion set, 'The Great Depression; Wrath of the Crash', was released on November 13, 1928. The third expansion set, 'Cataclysm; The Second Crash', was released in a surprise move by Wall Street in 2008, taking even the most devoted players by surprise, thanks to the makers of the expansion ensuring that as little about the release be given away as possible. With more than 6 billion (December 2008) monthly subscriptions, The Global Economy is currently the world's most-subscribed MMRPG and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMRPG by subscribers. In April 2008, The Economy was estimated to hold near 100 percent of the massively multiplayer game (MMG) subscription market, in addition to receiving subscriptions from what some commentators believe could be a large proportion of the world's population.
edit Gameplay
edit Starting a character or a play session
In more recently developed MMRPGs, players control a character avatar within a game world in third person view (with the option of playing in first person), exploring the landscape, fighting various monsters, completing quests, and interacting with NPCs or other players. When Economy was first released in open beta, during prehistoric times, however, the technology to construct a separate game world was not available. The Beta itself was extremely limited, and users often bemoaned the lack of opportunity for blind mass-consumerism, and lack of shopping malls at which to buy novelty pens and T-shirts with witty slogans. In addition, the early versions of TGE did not give players the option of forming companies, although the feature had been promised for some time. Infuriated, players attempted to create substitutes, and so tried to form Empires instead. It is widely agreed that this was harder, due to all the fighting, walking places, and other exercise that one had to do, and it was therefore a relief when Wall Street finally introduced the companies feature, making things simpler for everyone.
Due to the technological deficiency present at the time of the game's release (which some might say is an example of how ahead of its time the project was), the makers of TGE were forced to set it in the real world. This has detracted from the level of customisation available in the game, causing some subscribers to complain about the fact that they are unable to alter their appearance and/or gender, or acquire super powers when they "level up". Despite this customer dissatisfaction, member-ship remains extremely high. In common with many other MMRPGs, The Global Economy requires the player to pay for a subscription, either by becoming famous to pay for a limited amount of time, or by labouring tirelessly in a day job to pay on a regular basis.
edit Professions and ongoing gameplay
As characters become more developed, they gain various "talents" and "skills", requiring the player to further define the abilities of that character. Professions such as Law, Banking and Being Rich can be learned in addition to hundreds of others. The various professions are divided into five "Tiers" which denote how powerful (Or "Stinking-Rich" in player slang) each profession is. In addition, players choose "Classes" as they can in many other MRPGs. These classes are selected during the course of the in-game tutorial, referred to as "Education" (It should be noted that certain Classes can only be selected once a player has spent a certain time in the tutorial). Professions may be selected upon completion of the tutorial, and a player's class affects the professions that they have access to. A few examples of professions of each tier, along with their Class requirements and a brief description is found below;
edit Tier 1 (Stinking-Richest):
- Billionaire - Class requirement; Business Graduate, CEO, or Dropout.
Widely believed to be the most powerful profession in the game, "Billionaire" is extremely difficult to acquire, as it requires an enormous level of 'Money' (TGE's measurement of worth) to acquire the right to it. Players must also "level up" many times before they are able to even come close to becoming a Billionaire.
- Millionaire - Class requirement; Business Graduate, Dropout, CEO or Celebrity
Essentially a mod of the Billionare profession designed for lower levels. Still extremely hard to acquire.
edit Tier 2 (Rich enough to eat caviar and feel guilty about not donating to charity, or 'REEC and FGANDC' in player speak):
- Politician - Class requirement; Graduate, Arts Graduate, Business Graduate, or Celebrity.
One of the less popular professions. Not because it's hard to acquire in the fashion of Billionaire or Millionaire, but because all the other players will hate you, and attempt to make you look bad at every opportunity (a practice known colloquially as "Journalism"). Politician is one of the few professions that allows players to choose a "faction". For instance, American players are able to choose between "Democrat" or "Republican". While Wall Street claims that neither of these factions are intended to be viewed as "Good" or "Evil" (much like Blizzard's claim in regards to its WoW factions "Horde" and "Alliance"), everyone knows that, really, the Republicans are the bad guys.
- Professional - Class requirement; Doctor or Lawyer
Again, the "Professional" profession allows players to choose a faction. In this case the faction one belongs to is determined by one's class. Doctors are able to select between "Good" or "Just in it for the money", while Lawyers are only able to select "Pure, soulless evil". These Classes are then able to choose sub-classes such as "Dentist" and "Vet" for Doctor, and "Corporate Pawn" for Lawyer.
- Boss - Class requirement; Business Graduate
Possibly the most powerful tier 2 profession, the time of a Boss is devoted to telling Tier 3 professions - such as Employees - what to do.
edit Tier 3 (Not Rich):
- Employee - Class requirement; Graduate, or Dropout
One of the most popular professions in the game. Not because it's fun to be an Employee, but because it's easy to acquire the profession. Employees are able to choose a number of sub-professions, including Office Worker, Cube Farmer, Secretary, and The Person Behind The Counter At McDonald's Whose Soul Is Slowly Dying As They Serve You. Employees spend their time working hard in the futile hope that they will eventually "level up", or in game slang "be promoted", and be able to become a Boss.
- Entrepreneur - Class requirement; Graduate, Business Graduate, or Dropout.
Entrepreneurs have all the same skills as Millionaires and Billionaires, but don't have any money. This profession was originally supposed to be a preliminary step in the quest to become "Tier 1", but most Entrepreneurs never get "stinking rich", and continue to make failed business ventures over and over and over again. It is often said that the Entrepreneur profession is essential to the proper functioning of the game, but the people saying it are mostly Entrepreneurs trying to make themselves feel better. Wall Street recommends that other players don't pay them any mind.
edit Tier 4 (Poor):
- Sweatshop Worker - Class requirement: None.
Wall Street have persisted in claiming that they removed this profession from the game shortly after the release of "Great Depression: Wrath of the Crash", but it's widely known they simply made it unavailable to players in the "World One", or "First World" servers. No one wants to be this class, but they have valuable and desired support skills, such as making shoes for next to nothing, thereby allowing Word 1 players to buy high level equipment at a reduced price.
- Homeless and Trailer Trash - Class requirement: None.
These two professions are what the makers of the game provided as a substitute for Sweatshop Worker in World 1 servers. They're just as poor, if not more, but don't have access to the employment opportunities of the sweat-shop worker.
edit Tier 5 (Poverty-Stricken):
- The single Tier 5 class is nameless, and is only available to players in World 3, or "The Third World". World 3 is the least desirable server, and players make transfers to World 1 whenever they can. World 1 feels sorry for the players in World 3, but is generally too busy eating caviar to do anything about it.
It should be noted that the above are only a small selection of some of the most popular "professions", there are - according to the game's developers - hundreds, possibly thousands more options for class selection and customisation, allowing for new and original variations on the theme of the basic profession templates "Sewage Worker", for instance, straddles the boundary between a Tier 3 and a Tier 4 profession, providing all the humiliation and drudgery of a Tier 4 profession with the money and dead, soulless apathy of a Tier 3 profession. Other variations include the so called "Artist" profession (Tier 4), and Reality TV Participants (Tier 3).
The three secondary or "criminal" skills, forgery, thuggery, and embezzlement, can also be learned by characters. Characters may also form or work for "companies", allowing "money" to be accumulated more easily by all involved, and enabling Employees to exercise their Profession specific abilities by working in a mind numbing day job that slowly eats away at their soul. The power to form companies is only available to the Entrepreneur profession and its variants, while the ability to "buy" companies is reserved for Tier 1 professions, such as Billionaire. Much of TGE play involves "merchandise". This merchandise, also called "things" or "stuff", is usually available from areas called "shops". Merchandise is acquired by paying money to shops, and usually rewards the player with the brief thrill of possessing some small proof of their material wealth and therefore worth as a person, before the feeling wears off and they are once again plunged into the depths of a hollow depression. It is also through the sale of "Stuff" that a large degree of money is acquired, especially by the Tier 1 professions, who then give back to the game by buying more and bigger "stuff" than anyone else could possibly afford, ever.
edit Winning
Wall Street makes it very clear that it is not possible to win TGE in any technical sense of the word, as the game was designed to be open ended. It is agreed by the general player populace, however, that Bill Gates has almost certainly won the game, having reached Tier 1 and the Billionaire profession in record time. Rumour has it that, bored with TGE's mediocre and unchallenging end-game, Bill Gates has since moved on to play other MMRPGs such as World of Warcraft. Other players notable for having reached endgame and, to all intents and purposes, "won" include Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump.
edit Criticism and Controversy
Following the surprise release of "Cataclysm: The Second Crash" in 2008, Wall Street was criticised widely for not giving players fair warning about the release, and being unimaginative with their content. A high level Politician player, Barack Obama, was one of Wall Street's most outspoken critics. Wall Street has since made changes to the expansion pack that ensure it avoids being quite as doom-and-gloom as "The Great Depression; Wrath of the Crash". Wall Street has also attempted to make amends to its dissatisfied player base by promising a fourth expansion pack, to be released at some time in the next 200 years "Global Economy; Oil Crisis -- ' This time it's gone for good' ".
Wall Street has also been criticised for its handling of the removal of the Sweatshop Worker profession. "It isn't fair that World 2 and 3 players have access to this profession when premium paying World 1 players don't." Said one subscriber during the Sweatshop scandal of 1979, "We demand to be able to work in factories for pittance as well. It's shocking that Wall Street is able to get away with depriving some of its most committed players of such a significant part of the game's content!" Wall Street, however, once again managed to avoid losing too many subscribers as a result of these controversies, and - as always - remained at the top of the MMRPG market.
edit Prohibition
The Global Economy has been banned in several countries in the past, notably Cuba, the USSR, and Communist China. The ban was lifted in all of these countries, due to leaders wanting "in on the fun", and China is one of the countries whose citizens now enjoy access to the controversial Sweatshop Worker profession. The game continues to be banned in North Korea, although it is believed that Kim Jong Il plays in secret, making great use of all three of the secondary criminal skills.
edit Hacking
Several attempts have been made to hack the game. The most recent being Robert Mugabe's frenzied Printing of Money (one of the abilities available to high level politicians), this was little cause for concern however, as his attempt at exploiting his bugged ability simply caused the area of the World 3 server he was in to crash.
edit Future Development
"Global Economy; Oil Crisis -- ' This time it's gone for good' " is said to be currently in the preliminary stages of development. Some commentators hold that this could be an enormously exciting release, plunging players into a world of even greater economic crisis than "The Great Depression; Wrath of the Crash" did. Others claim that Wall Street is simply spreading rumours in order to hype this next release, and that it will really be nothing more than a superficial patch, designed to fix bugs that have been caused by a slight incompatability issue between the players and "Cataclysm; Financial Crisis". Wall Street has not yet indulged in making a formal press release, but unofficial sources from inside the development team have referred to the coming expansion as "All new and totally revolutionary". Players look happily forward to seeing what new excitement the expansion will bring.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Remember the Unity Studios deal in Highland Park? The man with the plan was Jimmy Lifton, a Hollywood producer who got city leaders to invest million in buying a developing a building next to City Hall for the studio project.
But the movie deals fell to pieces and so have the city's finances.
The city is facing a $1.6 million deficit. City leaders are asking police and fire for a 10 percent salary cut. Twelve positions have been eliminated and more could come.
Now, city leaders are asking for a 4-mill assessment to help get the city out of the red. The millage would raise enough annually to cover the cost of the failed Unity Studio project. To put things inperspective, one mill is equal to $1 per $1,000 of a house's taxable value. Mayor William Matakas recommended that the millage expire after four years.
The News-Herald reports the City of Allen Park currently expects to pay more than $2.7 million in debt service on the studio land. This comes after voters rejected a 3.3-mill assessment to cover debt on the studio land back in November.
The ballot language could be sent to the Wayne County Clerk's Office as early as Tuesday.

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Stephen Greenblatt to Give Lecture at Ithaca College
ITHACA, NY — Literary theorist and Pulitzer Prize–winning author Stephen Greenblatt will give a lecture titled "The Humanities and the Toleration of Intolerable Ideas" at Ithaca College on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Emerson Suites.
Part of the Distinguished Speaker in the Humanities series sponsored by the School of Humanities and Sciences, Greenblatt's presentation is free and open to the public. There will be a question and answer session and a book signing following the talk.
Greenblatt's lecture will address why and how the unacceptable ideas reintroduced by a humanist's recovery of an ancient poem managed to survive and be transmitted during pre-Enlightenment centuries that had no concept of toleration and the role scholars and artists play in making possible freedom of thought.
The author of 12 books, including "The Swerve: How the World Became Modern," winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and 2011 National Book Award, Greenblatt currently teaches at Harvard University as the John Cogan University Professor of the Humanities. He serves as general editor of the Norton Anthology of English Literature and Norton Shakespeare, edited seven collections of criticism and is a founding editor of the journal Representations. Greenblatt is a permanent fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, American Academy of Letters and American Philosophical Society.
Inaugurated by Robert Pinsky, then poet laureate of the United States, the Distinguished Speaker in the Humanities series has brought an impressive array of internationally known artists and intellectuals to Ithaca College, including writer Salman Rushdie, philosopher Peter Singer and playwright Tony Kushner.
For more information, contact the School of Humanities and Sciences at (607) 274-3102.

I'm sure we all have periods where things are slow with the business or there is a run of customers who are just plain awful. What do you do to keep your spirits up & keep going ... even though you might feel drained, tired & wonder if things are ever going to get any better?
I'm 3 years into my business & although I know I've achieved a fair bit & am sticking to my business plan which I still believe in, it still feels like it is taking forever to 'make it'. I often feel guilty that I work a lot, but aren't providing as much money to my family as we really need. I know I could go back to work for someone else & earn a reasonable living ... but I would be more disconnected from my family than I am now because currently I work from home, so am always there for the kids. My youngest child goes to school next year & deep down I know that all I have done in the last 3 years is lay the ground work for my business but from next year, I will have some proper blocks of time to work effectively & really make this thing fly. But with bills coming in thick & fast at home, I worry about the money. Ugh, it's just a wee bit hard sometimes.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2012 (1730 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A love of music and dedication to community earned a Winnipeg police officer top honours earlier this month.
Const. Kevin Gibson, who has patrolled the East District of the city for the bulk of his 25-year career in law enforcement, was named Winnipeg's Top Cop by the Kiwanis Club of Winnipeg during a gala event held Nov. 9.
To win the award, he beat out fellow finalists Constable Shaun Chornley, who polices District 2 in the city (west Winnipeg), and Sergeant Geordie MacKenzie, stationed in the police service's central reporting unit.
The Steinbach-born officer, who now resides in St. Vital, said he's always wanted to be a police officer. He says his community-oriented mindset has helped him perform his duties on the force.
"Just realizing that as a police officer you're like everyone else. You're just another member of the community, just another member of your own family," Gibson said.
"Certainly being a police officer has you involved in a lot of people's lives... but also never forgetting you're part of that and that you have your own family as well."
It was Gibson's love of music that drove him to create an organization to help kids in the area. Gibson, a guitarist and sometimes vocalist (he currently plays in a band named Undercover), created Status4 Inc., which provides free music and arts programming for kids.
It was largely his work with Status4 Inc. that earned him the Top Cop prize.
Gibson himself said his work as an officer made him recognize the challenges some children face, and he wanted to help them.
"In my police career, the ones I see most affected by some of the challenging circumstances of life are kids. I also see them as being the answer to these circumstances and these challenges we have," he said.
Lynne Williams, executive director for Status4 Inc., had high praise for Gibson.
"I think he's certainly deserving of (the award), because his work is on the ground and you can see that everything he does impacts the kids," Williams said.
"The other work the other (nominees) are doing is amazing work as well. With Kevin though, it's the heart and soul of who he is and he lives and breathes it in everything he does."
Many of those kids feel the same way. When they found out he'd won the award, they made him a plaque to commemorate the occasion.
Gibson was on his own when he created Status4 Inc., which was officially established in 2011. But as he gathered people to the cause, he found that tracking down help wasn't that tough.
The organization now has friends and partners "across the country," Gibson said.
"Just with one person, you attract one person to get involved, and that leads to two and to three," he said.
"Everyone's doing it for the same reason I am, which is to better our society, better our community. I think it's contagious to do things that are for the right reason."
The organization's location at the East End Culture and Leisure Centre at 575 Larsen Ave. will be undergoing significant renovations soon, something Gibson is looking forward to. The organization has grown considerably since it began, and he hopes it will continue to do so.
"It's certainly growing, it's certainly like we've planted a seed," Gibson said.
"I think if we keep feeding it, much like a plant it'll continue growing. It certainly lets me know I'm on the right track."

UMBI Realignment
The Research Centers previously aligned with the former University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI), are now aligned with other institutions within the University System of Maryland (USM).
Below is a brief summary of some of these newly created centers:
Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) -
IMET is a joint USM research center at which the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC); the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES); and the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) share facilities and resources.
Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR) -
The IBBR is a research collaboration among the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Institute of Fluorescence (IOF) -
UMBC will have administrative responsibility for this former UMBI institute. Research is centered on the development of new leading-edge and existing fluorescence phenomena to resolve clinically, biologically and industrially important questions, such as technologies to facilitate early and rapid detection of bio-warfare agents. The institute is based at the Columbus Center in downtown Baltimore.

At the recent AGM at the Seend Community Centre it was reported that 65 new members had joined during the past year and that our programme of lectures, day trips and stay away holiday were well supported.
Members were then entertained by an inspiring account of Shaun McCormack service with the Queen's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard.
The oldest British military corps still in existence, it was created by Henry VII in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth Field. As a token of this venerability, the Yeomen still wear red and gold uniforms of Tudor style.
There are 60 Yeomen of the Guard (plus six Officers), drawn from retired members of the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force, but traditionally not the Royal Navy, because members of the Navy take an oath to the Admiralty.
This ban on Royal Navy personnel was lifted in 2011 and two sailors joined the ranks of the Yeomen of the Guard. However, the role of the Captain of the Queen's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard is a political appointment — the captain is always the government Deputy Chief Whip in the House of Lords Today the Yeomen of the Guard have a purely ceremonial role.
They accompany the Sovereign at the annual Royal Maundy Service, investitures and summer garden parties at Buckingham Palace.
Their most famous duty is to 'ceremonially' search the cellars of the Palace of Westminster prior to the State Opening of Parliament, a tradition that dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament.
The Yeomen of the Guard are often confused with the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London, popularly known as Beefeaters, a similar but distinct body.

Jennifer Lopez in a bikini
Here's Jennifer Lopez vacationing in Italy this week and Jesus Christ! I feel like I'm staring directly into the Death Star. I'm not saying that thing can destroy whole planets, but I am saying a small rebel fleet could fly through that crack. No, really, George Lucas just stopped raping my childhood to approve this message:
[Insert CGI Indiana Jones revealing he's Jar Jar Binks here.] – G.L.
Ha! Good one, George. (I'm going to murder your face.)

Ruby & Willie
My Grandparent's Home
de Bootsy Holler
Acerca del libro
These images are just a sampling from the 26 rolls of film I shot. The images were taken in Ruby and Willie's home, located at 1824 Davison St. Richland, Washington. Ruby, passed in 1978, leaving Willie to live alone. He lived in the basement and kitchen, not touching any of the rooms. I documented each room as I would a museum, capturing all the details in the kitchen, living room, dining room, hallway, boys' room, girls' room, Ruby's room, the downstairs TV room, and finally Willie's basement bedroom.
I began documenting one December when I came to visit family. Maybe I knew this home, which looked to me like a movie set, would soon be destroyed. Within four months my grandfather fell sick and passed away. This home, which hadn't been changed in more than 25 years, was soon stripped down to nothing. Everything was gone.
As generations leave us, they take with them their environments. I used photography for what it does best: to document a place and time before it is gone.
Acerca del creador
Bootsy is an intuitive commercial, editorial and fine art photographer who has been shooting professionally and showing for more than 15 years. Best known for her remarkably sensitive style of portraiture she has been noticed and awarded by the Society of Photographic Journalism. Her career as an artist started as youthful obsession with fabrics and fashion, leading into a degree in textile design. She moved into styling, art direction then started her own small design manufacture incorporating photography and in 1999 let go of them all to focus on photography as an art and trade. From that journey, she gained three things: a devotion to craft, a deep understanding of style, and respect for the power of beauty. She quickly progressed to portraiture, gaining major professional momentum shooting musicians and bands in Seattle's music scene of the late 1990's. But when you look at Holler's fine art you usually find self-portrait work or the mundane daily life we often pass by.

Liz Martini Really enjoyed this book and the photographs. This happens to be my hometown, but really this could be a lot of people's home town from this perspective. Lovely and unique portrait -- thank you for sharing!
This is a kind of documentation that most folks would overlook, and yet so powerful. Zen-like in its appreciation of what is just there.

Older or Younger Prosthodontist?
Should I choose and older or younger prosthodontist? The older one is 60 years old but has a great reputation and is on my insurance. The younger one is good also but is not on my health insurance. Is the older one too old -- not enough updated knowledge or does all his experience make him great? I need some advice. Thanks.
Sixty years old is not old for a prosthodontist. Many prosthodontists work into their seventies. The reputation may be more critical than the age.

GROUP inspections are having to be carried out during new requests for burials at a Redditch cemetery, after weeks of sustained rainfall caused the earth to become saturated.
Redditch Council has been forced to take the extraordinary action to ensure proposed burials at the Abbey Cemetery can safely be carried out.
In addition, where burials can take place, only one full burial will be able to be carried out each day until the unusually difficult conditions improve.
All burials already booked in can be honoured.
Head of environmental services Guy Revans said: "Unfortunately some areas of the cemetery have become waterlogged in all the rain. We hope to be able to manage the situation and keep any disruption caused by the weather to a minimum. But the problem is not only digging new graves but also the risk of damaging existing graves.
"The forecast is now for a drier spell so hopefully the ground will dry up too. Drainage at the cemetery is generally adequate, and we have even spent money improving it recently, so there may be nothing else we can reasonably do. It's simply been very wet on clay soil."
The council's bereavement services team is inviting families concerned that they may be affected by the temporary conditions to come and speak to them as well as their funeral director, to discuss the matter.
Until conditions improve other borough cemeteries are available and Bromsgrove District Council has also agreed to make the nearby North Bromsgrove cemetery an option for families if required.
Mr Revans added: "We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we're encouraging anyone with any concerns that this could affect them or their loved ones to get in touch with us to discuss. We're assessing the situation daily."
The council's bereavement services is contactable on 01527 62174.

Holiday weekend shouldn't fuel a big jump in gas prices
Updated 9:21 pm, Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Texas drivers hitting the road this Memorial Day weekend likely will pay more at the pump than they have in recent weeks, although they'll spend less per gallon than they did a year ago.
Doug Shupe, public affairs representative for the AAA Texas, expects costs to rise throughout the weekend as the number of drivers on the road pushes up demand for gasoline. Nevertheless, Shupe said the traditional Memorial Day bump in prices probably won't drastically affect peoples' travel plans.
"When we see small changes in gas prices, we're not going to see that it has an impact on Memorial Day plans," Shupe said.
But that's not the case for Kenneth Cook, a substitute teacher for San Antonio Independent School District. Cook said he canceled plans this weekend to visit his niece, who is graduating from high school in Houston, because of gas prices.
"It's just not feasible to travel," Cook said, filling up his SUV at a gas station at Broadway and Josephine Street, where unleaded gas cost $3.39 per gallon.
News Channel
Cook said he fills up twice a week and usually pays around $80 each time. He described his SUV, which was a gift from a student's parents, as a "gas guzzler."
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse," he added.
In San Antonio, average prices have hovered around $3.38 per gallon for the past week, but that's up from the $3.31 San Antonians paid on average in April.
However, prices are 8 cents less than the $3.46 per gallon paid at this time last year.
In Houston, prices have risen about a cent from $3.41 last month to $3.42 per gallon. A year ago, Houstonians paid about $3.56 per gallon.
Nationwide, an estimated 31.2 million people will drive more than 50 miles over the long weekend, according to a report released Wednesday by AAA. That's a slight decrease from 31.1 million in 2012 — but far below the record 37.3 million who drove over the weekend in 2005.
The dip in travelers accompanies a small decline in gas prices. Across the country, a gallon of unleaded fuel costs an average of $3.66 compared to $3.68 a year ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service based in New Jersey, said several factors — including decreasing demand for gas and increasing supply caused partly by improved refining capabilities — might explain why gas prices this year are close to last year's prices.
"If I could put my finger on it, I would have great value on Wall Street and in the White House," Kloza said.
This summer, Kloza said he does not expect prices to reach the highest recorded average of $4.11 per gallon measured in July 2008. He said he expects gas prices to fall throughout the summer, but said factors such as the upcoming hurricane season could deflect that prediction.
Across Texas, average gas prices have risen 7 cents since April, climbing to $3.43 per gallon as of Wednesday, according to a report released by AAA Texas/New Mexico, the regional chapter of the national automotive club. That's 8 cents lower than the $3.51 per gallon Texas drivers paid this time last year.

Online Self-Study Troubleshooting Guide:
Problem: When I attempt to access my courses from "My Online Learning," the course never launches, or I receive an error message saying my pop-up blocker needs to be turned off.
Solution: Your web browser must be configured to allow pop-ups in order to access ACFE Self-Study courses. Your browser may prompt you to allow pop-ups, or you may have to allow them manually. You may either allow them for all sites, or allow them just for the
current site.

Google Chrome
Also note that many toolbars, such as the Google Toolbar and Yahoo! include pop-up blockers as well. If you have one or more toolbars installed on your browser with built-in pop-up blockers, you must configure them to allow pop-ups.
Problem: When I click on a course from "My Online Learning," I am presented with a login page, but my ACFE.com username and password won't allow me to log in.
Solution: You do not have to log in a second time to access your online self-study. You most likely reached the login page because you clicked the link labeled "Click Here" as shown below:
Do not click that link; instead, allow your browser to automatically open the eLearning window on its own, which should happen after a few seconds. This will log you in automatically so that you can access your online courses.
Problem: I receive the following error when I try to load a different lesson with a course:
Solution: This occurs in Internet Explorer when trying to load a different lesson without closing the current lesson. This error can be avoided two different ways:
Always close the current lesson before going to another one. Always click the Close Window button (usually the red "X" in the upper right corner) of the current lesson before clicking on another lesson.
Use a different browser. This error seems to only occur in Internet Explorer, so using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome should resolve the issue (see below for links to download either of these browsers).
Other Troubleshooting Tips: If you encounter other errors, such as courses freezing or crashing, we recommend taking the following action:
Try a different browser. ACFE online self-study courses are designed to run on all modern web browsers, but if you encounter a problem that is not solved using one of the suggestions above, you can try using a different web browser to see if it eliminates the problem. We have most frequently seen where using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome has resolved an issue that was seen in Internet Explorer.
Mozilla Firefox can be downloaded
Google Chrome can be downloaded

Volunteers Help New Jersey Beach Communities With Sandy Cleanup
Over 1000 volunteers helped beach communities affected by superstorm Sandy from in New Jersey and New York on Saturday.
Clean Ocean Action's "Waves Of Action" program sponsored projects from Cape May to Long Island that helped clean up parks, collect food and toys and clean & repair homes and buildings damaged by Sandy.
"In the aftermath of Sandy, volunteers are ready and eagerly looking to help. Many of the impacted municipalities, businesses, and families are working hard to put their lives back together and may not have the time or energy to recruit and/or direct volunteers," said Tavia Danch, Clean Ocean Action Education Coordinator in a statement. "Clean Ocean Action is organizing the day of service 'For the Shore' to streamline the process of connecting people with projects."
Communities noted their efforts on Saturday which in Toms River helped speed the opening of Cattus Island County Park in Toms River.
"(The park) will have a chance to reopen ahead of time because of the big push from volunteers through Waves of Action," stated Joanna Marino, AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassador and Cattus Island County Park Project Leader.
"Seeing so many volunteers coming together to reach out and help those in need is the driving force for us to continue assisting those in need during this most difficult time in their lives," noted Doug Colfer, Waves of Action Volunteer in Middletown.
Clean Ocean Action's Facebook page was full of positive comments about the day. "Had a good time…met some nice folks," posted Duane Bowker. "Had an amazing time, with amazing finds….cleaned up Union Beach today and met some great people while sorting out the Fire Dept," posted Stacey Cuff Getchis.
Clean Ocean Action will continue the Waves of Action program in 2013 with continued debris clean ups, sustainable development plans, and projects to improve water quality.

Doggie Hughes eyes archrival Eels chance
Graeme Hughes, whose surname is synonymous with Canterbury, has emerged as a shock contender to head up football operations at arch-rivals Parramatta.
It is understood Kiwi league stalwart Graham Lowe is another contender for the post.
The Eels are looking for a football manager to assist chief executive Bob Bentley and Hughes has emerged as the frontrunner.
The Hughes clan has a long association with the Bulldogs. Graeme played alongside brothers Garry and Mark in the premiership-winning side of 1980 when it was known as "The Family Club".
The Hughes family established a unique record at the Bulldogs over two generations, with six members appearing in first-grade grand finals. Graeme played 127 games between 1974 and 1982 while juggling a first-class cricketing career for NSW.
Garry's sons Glenn, Steven and Corey continued the legacy with impressive careers of their own.
The biggest rival during the "Entertainers" period was Parramatta, with the two regular combatants in finals, but this latest move could result in one of their own defecting to the Eels. Attempts to contact Hughes, now a broadcaster with radio station 2SM, were unsuccessful.
"We advertised the position and we're interviewing candidates at the moment," Bentley said.
"We haven't finalised any shortlisting as yet and are going through the stages of the process."
The Hughes family had a spectacular fallout with the club which they bled for when Garry was sacked as football manager during the Coffs Harbour scandal in 2004.
He reached an out-of-court settlement for wrongful dismissal and the family members later handed back their life memberships.
Bentley, who is the CEO of the league and football clubs, has previously spoken of the need for support in the football side of the business.
The addition of Hughes to a coaching team headed by Ricky Stuart could provide the football acumen some critics say has sorely been missing.
Another high-profile candidate is Lowe, who has had a lifelong association with league on both sides of the Tasman. It is believed he is keen to be involved in the NRL and is interested in assisting the wooden spooners.
Meanwhile, Eels officials recently reached a new agreement with the Parramatta Stadium Trust that will ensure the majority of home games will be played at the ground for the next five years.
In an intriguing twist, 2SM has joined forces with 2UE in a bid to wrest the NRL radio rights from current holders 2GB. The radio rights were on the agenda at Friday's ARL Commission conference in Townsville, with a decision imminent.
There has been speculation that Hughes could join Channel Nine's Andrew Voss as a commentator should the consortium be successful. The joint bid has the appeal of broadening the regional reach.
And the Vikings Club, owned by the Parramatta Leagues Club, will not have to shut down after officials found a buyer for the business. It is understood the new owner is prepared to shell out $2.5 million on renovations and refurbishments alone.

Topic: Some music that I LOVED!!!!
From the opening ceremony for the London Olympics! I loved this music and that part of the ceremony and thought I'd post this link to it that I found tonight here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Je5y3o0 … re=related
This whole part of the ceremony I loved, but unfortunately I can't find anything with good quality video footage of it all. I guess that no doubt it will be coming out as a DVD at some point and that is why it ain't on Youtube! But, I loved this music and just thought I'd post this here in case others liked it as well!

I don't know why you guys are being this way, I have to admit I moved to Florida not that long ago, and haven't seen a swell of 9.5 @ 14 secs here ever, esp with offshore winds, so the only advice I can give is do what I do...
Go to your local break and see what it looks like, then hit the next good spot you know of...but just a bit of advice; but as you can see, you're not going get any legitimate help or tips on here...
Have fun Sunday and good luck, I'm going to peek at Juno Pier because it's just such a large pier I'm hoping maybe it'll hold something, but if not I'll head north on A1A and see if I can find a good wave, don't know what else to tell you.
Hey 757, 40 mph offshores will make it tough to drop in.
Fla looks to be the bomb for this swell!! Anyone laid off wants to do a road trip?
I'm really curious to what its going to look like, saying NE swell 9.8ft @ 13 secs at 12pm Sunday in Fort Pierce with W wind @ 15 mph, i mean really? The inlet going to have double overhead barrels lol? I think I'll poo myself if it does...
Only place on the entire east coast USA that can handle this kind of swell (predicted 15-25ft) tuesday and wednesday is RUGGLES point in Newport, RI. Period!! no discussion...forget FL, Hatteras, Outerbanks, NJ, OC...RI gets the biggest waves on the east coast period...IF you dont believe me check out Ian Walsh and Garret McNamara's video on youtube surfing hurricane Bill. If your spot gets bigger than this during the swell Ill buy you a happy ending at an Asian masage parlor. Listen RI aint the ocean state for a reason...stay the f out because the locals are prix but this place is magic and is the only place that holds 20+ swells clean on the east coast. Have fun and BE SAFE!!!
kyle your best bet would be reef rd. w.p.b. it seems to hold a swell better...F.P. is gonna close out
@surfsexgambleparty...its obvious you really dont know what your talking about
@surfsex, please don't name spots on this site. its not fair to the locals there. they sent death threats to surfer magazine after they ran an article on that spot a while ago, but please don't say anymore spot names. thank you.
so any of you gonna head up to rhode island where its gonna be 26-27feet at 11sec next week?

Goldilocks weather this week: Not too hot or cold
Published: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 5:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 5:13 p.m.
The weather this week will stay pretty consistent in the Gainesville area with high temperatures in the mid 70s and overnight lows in the mid 50s.
From Monday through Friday, there will be a 20 percent chance of afternoon showers, said Larry Struble, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Residents should see partly cloudy skies throughout the week.
Tuesday may be the hottest day of the week with an expected temperature high of 80 degrees, while Friday will probably be coldest with an expected maximum temperature in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s throughout the weekend.
"We do have a cold front coming through mid-week, but it's not going to have a whole lot of impact on the Gainesville area here," he said.
The cold front should pass through the area around Tuesday, but it is expected to weaken as it comes further east.

On Wednesday H&M is having its first-ever Paris fashion show – in the Musée Rodin, the haute art ex-venue of Tom Ford's Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano's Christian Dior. Coming on the back of Sunday's Oscar moment, when best supporting actress nominee Helen Hunt wore H&M on the red carpet, it seems to indicate more upmarket ambitions for the brand. So, is this a sign of the times or a sign of the decline of western fashion civilisation? Maybe a bit of both.
(Note: it doesn't seem to be the unveiling of the group's new, higher-priced brand collection & Other Stories – it's H&M itself. So it's not a move to elevate a line to, say, the Martin Sitbon level.)
On one level, it sounds silly. The whole point of great high street brands such as H&M is that it so quickly, effectively and economically translates high-fashion trends for the rest of the world without the frills, hoo-ha and elitism associated with the whole show system, its seating ranks, invitations and exclusionary velvet ropes. It led the revolution to democratise style, and its consumers love it for it. Read more

This post describes how to take any deployed Form Guide and embed it in a PDF so that the Form Guide may be emailed or used offline. The resultant PDF looks and behaves just like any other XFA based PDF as far as LiveCycle processing or Reader/Acrobat is concerned. The Form Guide's data is stored in the standard XFA Datasets part of the PDF.
Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9.0 is the minimal client requirement.
Here is a sample Form Guide delivered as a PDF.
The basic component is a generic base bootstrap PDF into which a Form Guide SWF is added as an Attachment. The bootstrap PDF has some XFA script and an embedded SWF Loader app that invokes the script to find and load the Form SWF. The submission process uses Readers Email option to submit back to the Server process. The target email account is defined in the XFA Script along with the format of the submission which can be the whole PDF or just the xml data.
The PDF will need to be Reader Enabled to allow Reader users to Save the PDF to their disk.
It is also possible to include a optional "document view" XFA based PDF, but requires a minimum of Reader/Acrobat 9.2. The data entered into the Form Guide can automatically update the PDF document (it is expected be a non-interactive document, as data only flows in one direction)
Attached are a White Paper describing the full process flow of generating a PDF of this flavor, sample Guides in PDFs, the basic source Bootstrap PDF and the source for the embeded SWF Loader. The Bootstrap PDF can be loaded into LiveCycle Designer in order to see/modify the XFA script. There are a few options that can be activated/deactivate by modifying a list of supported features defined at the top of the script object.
This technique can also be used to attach a Flex App instead of a Form Guide, as long as the App implements the following functions at the Application root:
function getData():String – returns XML as a string
function setData(xmlData:String):void
function validate():Boolean
The supplied BootStrap SWF Loader can be easily extended to handle many different unique requirements. Those features can include displaying buttons that allow the user to click and Print/Save/Email/ the document without actually seeing the document view or importdata/exportdata or process more than one SWF APP attachment. Note that the PDF will need to be Certified to allow the Print option to work.
Let me know if more information is desired on how to do this.

CHICAGO - Adreian Payne had 18 points and 10 rebounds, leading No. 8 Michigan State to a rugged 59-56 victory over Iowa in the Big Ten quarterfinals on Friday night.
Keith Appling and Gary Harris had 13 points apiece for the Spartans (25-7), who trailed by 12 midway through the second half. They advance to play Ohio State in the next round in a rematch of last season's tournament championship, won by Michigan State.
Iowa (21-12) was oh so close to an upset victory that could have cemented a spot in the field for next week's NCAA tournament. Instead, the Hawkeyes will have to sweat out a nervous Selection Sunday.
Mike Gesell led the way with nine points for the Hawkeyes, who had no players score in double figures.

NEW YORK — Austin "No Doubt" Trout controlled the fight early and roughed up Miguel Cotto late to win a 12-round unanimous decision and retain his share of the 154-pound title Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Trout (26-0) left Cotto's battered face red and swollen after cranking up the pressure over the final two rounds to truly take control on the scorecards. Cotto (37-4) lost his second straight fight after dropping a piece of the 154-pound title to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May.
Cotto had long ruled as the undisputed champion of the New York fight scene, winning all seven of his fights at the Garden, plus one at Yankee Stadium.
Trout never wavered even as the crowd was against him from the start. Two judges scored the bout 117-111 and the third had it 119-109.
Trout delivered in easily the biggest and most high-profile fight of his career. The 2004 U.S. Olympic alternate grinded out a championship reign in Texas and New Mexico and was a relative unknown on the national scene.
No doubt, that has changed.
"I've been preparing for this fight my entire life," he said. "Fighting someone like Miguel Cotto is a dream come true for someone like me waiting for their big moment. I had to show him I was the biggest guy and push him back a couple of times. I kept pushing him back to show he had no advantage there."
Trout truly swung the scorecards his way with stiff punches to the head and relentless jabs that shook Cotto.
Cotto, a four-time world champion, stormed out of the ring after the 12th and tersely asked who the fans thought won the bout. But this bout was no popularity contest. The 32-year-old Cotto refused to say if he'd fight again.
"I'll go back to Puerto Rico and think," he said.
Trout got second billing in the pre-fight introduction, walking out first, a member of his team holding the title belt high over his head — the intro traditionally reserved for the challenger. But Cotto's company, Miguel Cotto Promotions, helped promote the fight, and he was the main reason why 13,096 fans came to the Garden. They serenaded him with "Cotto! Cotto!" chants as he walked to the ring and they never let up until the end of the 12th round.
Trout's trunks read "Keep Up." Did he ever.
Not even getting called for a pair of low blows did much to shake Trout in what was essentially a road game for the champ. Trout was nailed in the sixth with a big left to the head. Cotto briefly put Trout against the ropes to end the 10th. Cotto put the fans on their feet when he connected with a series of body blows that left Trout reeling. Trout needed some extra time to start the 11th to adjust his gloves.
Trout did enough in his fourth title defense over the final two rounds to keep his WBA super welterweight belt. After everyone cleared the ring, Trout hopped on the top rope, pointing to the few fans left calling his name.
"To have my hand raised with a champion like Miguel Cotto is a dream come true," he said.
Canelo Alveraz, holder of the WBC 154-pound belt, was in the crowd, and received some of the loudest boos of the night. Alvarez seemed next in line to fight Cotto, in a potential epic bout, as early as May. But those plans are likely on hold and Trout still might not be marketable enough to get that spot.
Before the main event started, there was a moment of silence and a 10-bell salute for Hector "Macho" Camacho, was shot in the face Nov. 20 while sitting in a parked car and died four days later.
Jayson Velez remained undefeated (2-0) with a TKO win 38 seconds into the third round over Salvador Sanchez III on the undercard. Velez dominated the bout and scored two knockdowns before easily finishing off Sanchez in the third.
"He was easier than I thought," Velez said.
Danny Jacobs, of Brooklyn, defeated Chris Fitzpatrick via TKO in the fifth round as he continues his comeback from bone cancer. The one-time rising star in the sport won for the second time since he was sidelined for nearly 19 months because of a form of bone cancer that led to partial paralysis in his legs.
Jacobs busted open Fitzpatrick's scalp early in the fight and pummeled him in the fifth, forcing the stoppage.
"I'm glad I got the rounds in and the ring rust out," Jacobs said. "I feel like I'm back. Obviously, I want to step up my competition. But I don't want to jump the gun just yet."
Trout's win came in one of the rare main events these days at the Garden.
Earlier in the day at a New York restaurant, a press conference was held for the Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah fight Feb. 9 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Barclays Center has quickly claimed its turf in the New York fight game as Madison Square Garden's days as a fight mecca have dimmed beyond the occasional Cotto fight. Some of the epic heavyweight bouts in history, including the first two Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fights, were held in the Garden.
The remodeled arena is no longer boxing's regular showcase for the stars.
But for a night, MSG had room for one more great fight.

A man with Asperger's Syndrome was killed with a single punch after using a racist term.
Andrew Young, 40, died after 20-year-old Lewis Gill lashed out in November last year.
The defendant, who was arrested in Croydon and admitted manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court last month, struck Mr Young after the victim exchanged words with an acquaintance.
Victor Ibitoye had been riding a pedal cycle along Charminster Road in Bournemouth on November 6 last year when he was confronted by Mr Young, who said it was a "dangerous" activity.
Mr Ibitoye was walking next to Gill's ex-girlfriend, Wendy Cagua-Rodriguez, while the defendant walked behind.
He threw a single punch, connecting with Mr Young's temple, after hearing the victim say to Mr Ibitoye: "Why don't you go back to the jungle?"
Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, showed CCTV footage of the incident to Salisbury Crown Court yesterday afternoon before the defendant was sentenced.
She said: "The defendant claims he was worried about Andrew Young because he thought he was being menacing.
"He said Andrew Young put his hand to his pocket and he thought he was going to pull out a knife or a gun."
However Judge Keith Cutler said Mr Young did not represent a threat, and sentenced him to four years in prison for manslaughter.
He was also sentenced to two three-month prison terms to run consecutively for committing the offence while on a suspended sentence for robbery, and for handling stolen goods.
Judge Cutler said: "You are a powerfully built young man.
"You must have known that it was going to cause a significant injury, and very sadly, it did."
Mr Young died the following day, November 7, following surgery at Southampton General Hospital.
He struck his head on the pavement after the punch, and a postmortem found no injuries to suggest that he had tried to defend himself.
The former Bournemouth School pupil, who spoke a number of languages, was a member of St Edmund Campion Church in Bournemouth.
He used to work for Asda at Castlepoint shopping centre after leaving university, and was once a member of the naval section of the Combined Cadet Force.
Mum Pamela, who sat beside her son when he died, said: "Andrew had the social skills age of a 14 year old.
"He was very precise and particular because of his Asperger's and he wouldn't have liked seeing someone riding a bicycle on the pavement because it was dangerous.
"I sat with him when he died. I wish that awful man [Gill] who took my son away had pleaded not guilty so he would have got longer."
Detective Inspector Marcus Hester, of Dorset Police's Major Crime Team, said: "This was a violent attack on an innocent man which had a tragic outcome.
"This case shows that violence does not resolve anything and can have far reaching consequences not imagined at the time.
"Today the court has issued a sentence deemed appropriate and in accordance with the evidence put to them.
"Criminal behaviour such as this will not be tolerated and we are committed to bringing offenders to justice."
The Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor in the case was Kerry Maylin.
