STEVE CHIOTAKIS: This morning, hundreds of tourists are being evacuated from the North African Mediterranean country, Tunisia. There's a general strike today following a month of deadly violence there. Protesters have taken to the streets. People have been speaking out against high food prices, unemployment and a lack of civil liberties. Last night, the Tunisian President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali tried to end the unrest by announcing he wouldn't seek re-election. He also ordered a price cut for some basic foods and promised a more democratic society.
The BBC's Adam Mynott joins us from the capital Tunis. Hi Adam.
ADAN MYNOTT: Hi there good morning to you.
CHIOTAKIS: People who don't have jobs and they can't afford food -- they've been taking to the streets to send this message to the President. The President spoke last night. Did he do any good?
MYNOTT: It certainly did seem to open up the democratic space because people have gathered in the thousands in the middle of the capitol Tunis this morning to say that they do want change in this country. But the message they're giving is that that change can only come if President Ben Ali stands down. They say that he is leading a corrupt government and the future for Tunisia must be a future without him.
CHIOTAKIS: What more needs to happen Adam for this violence to stop?
MYNOTT: I think really the protest has reached such a momentum now that it is going to continue. President Ben Ali said when he spoke to the nation on television last night that live weapons would not be used at rallies in the future. That was welcomed. He said he wanted to open up the country to more free speech. That was the right thing. But the message that the country is very clearly putting out is that this can only happen if he and what is described as his corrupt administration leaves the country as quickly as possible.
CHIOTAKIS: The BBC's Adam Mynott joining us from Tunis. Adam, thank you.
MYNOTT: Thank you Steve.

Luke Wilton has title shot firmly in his sights
Luke Wilton will tangle with Mexican Danny Flores at the Ulster Hall on Saturday night in a fight that could make or break the east Belfast man's title fight ambitions.
Wilton is the headline act at the Ulster Hall on a show which also features the Irish light-middleweight title fight between Lee Murtagh and Ballyclare's Willie Thompson.
Flyweight Wilton knows that victory on Saturday will lead to a British and Commonwealth title fight against the winner of the battle between Commonwealth champion Kevin Satchell and British title holder Chris Edwards who box on the same night in Liverpool on the supporting bill to David Price's British title fight with Audley Harrison.
Luke's dad Alan admits that he will be anxiously waiting for the text message to come through telling him the winner of Satchell-Edwards and he openly admits to who he hopes will prevail.
"I'm hoping that Edwards will come through as British and Commonwealth champion because I am very confident that I can agree a deal with the Edwards camp," said Wilton, who as joint promoter of Saturday's bill has worked very hard to make sure Luke has been matched with a top opponent.
"Luke just has to make sure that he does the business on Saturday. He has worked very hard to get to this point.
"We had hoped for him to be boxing for a WBC international title and we had Shinny Bayaar, the former British champion, lined up but he pulled out and it has been a real struggle to get someone.
"But now he is facing Danny Flores who has a record of 13 wins and only one defeat," he said.
Title contender Wilton has been working with Panamanian coach Bernardo Checa and dad Alan has no doubt that it has accelerated his progress, helping him to a series of stoppage wins.
"Bernardo has brought him on a lot. Luke was always a good body puncher but that is an element that he has improved a lot — all-round he has improved and now Bernardo believes he is ready for title fights.
"So Saturday night is very important, we need Luke to do a good job and then hopefully we can nail down the title fight, whoever wins between Edwards and Satchell."
The Irish title fight between Murtagh and Thompson should give the fans some toe-to-toe action and Wilton, along with Peace Promotions boss Mark Dunlop, is planning to utilise the Irish and Northern Ireland titles as they seek to run a series of local shows.
"The tickets have gone really well for this one. We have one guy Daniel McShane making his debut and he has sold 200 tickets alone and that's what we need — we need ticket sellers so we can put on the kind of value for money shows the public want," said Wilton, who has added Gerard Healy to the 10-fight bill.

B. A. BARRETT, M. D. It is gratifying to trace the history of those of the early settlers of Greene County, Mo., who have persevered through trials and hardships and have at last reached the point where they can enjoy the wealth and prosperity which rightfully belongs to them. In the life of the gentleman whose name we now give we find such a history, and the popularity which belongs to such a man is the just mood which all are glad to pay to his worth and work. For nearly forty years he has resided in Springfield, and during all that time his career has been above reproach. Mr. Barrett is a product of this State, born in St. Genevieve County, January 8, 1826, and was one of a family of ten children born to John S. and Margaret (Patterson) Barrett. In tracing the genealogy of the Barrett family in America we find that the great-grandfather of our subject was the first to settle on the soil of this county. He came from Emerald Isle and settled in the Old Dominion, where he reared a large family of children. The grandfather of our subject was born in Virginia and fought bravely for independence in the Revolutionary War. He was killed at the battle of Cowpens. The father of our subject, John S. Barrett, was born in Culpeper County, Va., the latter part of the eighteenth century and was one of a large family of children born to his parents. Some of these children emigrated to Tennessee, others to Kentucky, and some to Missouri. The father of our subject was but a boy when he emigrated with his parents to Tennessee, and he there grew to manhood and married. In 1811 he moved to Missouri, settled in St. Genevieve County and there reared his family. He served in the Black Hawk War, and he, with two others swam the Mississippi River at St. Mary's Landing to rescue the people in Illinois from the ravages of the Indians. He took a prominent part in that war and probably was an officer. A man of superior education, he took an active part in the government affairs of Missouri, and served in the first Legislature ever held in the State. At one time he was State marshal; he was also sheriff of his county and was serving in the Legislature when Missouri was admitted as a State. Later he represented his county a number of times in that body. In the early part of his career he carried on a large farm, but during the closing scenes of his life he practiced medicine. He was intimately acquainted with Gen. Jackson, with whom he served while in the army, and was a man of great physical endurance, retaining his strength of mind and body up to the last day of his life. He died in 1868, when about seventy years of age, but was capable of carrying on his business. For many years he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and held the office of steward. A man of great public spirit, he was ever interested in the upbuilding of his county, and was well known throughout its length and breadth. In politics he affiliated with the Democratic party. His wife was born in Maury County, Tenn., and was a daughter of James and Margaret (Carr) Patterson. The Patterson family came originally from Scotland, and at first settled in North Carolina, and later in Tennessee, where they were among the pioneers. Grandfather Patterson served in the Revolutionary War and lost an eye in fighting for independence. He was a minister and teacher and died about 1840 in St. Genevieve, Mo., whither he had moved at an early day. He was very prominent in church work and assisted in establishing many of the churches in this State. Mrs. Barrett died in Springfield in 1864. She was the mother of ten children, as follows: James, died in Webster County, Mo., where he was engaged in farming; Nancy, died in 1844 (she was the wife of John W. York); Joseph, died when about twenty-four years of age; Mary A., died in Springfield about 1854 (she was the wife of Dr. MoLure) ; John C., was a physician and died in Buffalo, N. Y; B. A. (subject); George, who died in 1865, was a physician and practiced his profession at Springfield for fifteen years (he left a wife and four children, all of whom are living in Springfield; as a practitioner of the healing art he was a decided success and accumulated considerable means); Jane, died when eighteen or twenty years of age; Mildred, residing now in Springfield, is the widow of Dr. Van Hoose, who was a very prominent physician of this State (she became the mother of three children. James B., Ella and Lula); the last two are teachers in the public schools of Springfield, and are considered first-class educators. The mother of these children was a lifelong member of the ,Methodist Episcopal Church, and was an earnest Christian lady. Dr. B. A. Barrett spent his early life in his native county, studied under a private tutor and later attended school at Fredericksburg and St. Louis, thus receiving a thorough education. His medical education was received in St. Louis, and in the year 1853 he started out to practice in Buffalo, Mo., continuing there until 1858. In 1858 he came to Springfield, but in 1863 went to St. Louis, where he practiced his profession until 1870. Returning to Springfield, he has continued to practice in that city up to the present time, and stands at the head in his profession. He is about the oldest practicing physician in the city. The Doctor is a member of the State Medical Association, the Mississippi Valley Medical Association, and the Springfield Medical Society. Ever since his twenty-first year Dr. Barrett has been a Mason, is a member of Salome Lodge, No. 271, Springfield, and has held all the offices in the lodge He and Mrs. Barrett are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and are deeply interested in religious matters. The Doctor was first married in 1848 to Miss Susan Randleman, a native of Illinois, St. Mary County, and the daughter of Jacob and Mary (Holcomb) Randleman. Mr. Randleman was an early pioneer of Illinois and was a prominent man of the county. By this union the Doctor became the father of five children-three sons and two daughters-as follows: Mary, who died in 1876, when about thirty years of age, was the wife of Harley Moore and the mother of five children: Ada, Zack, Elizabeth, Lula and Ida. All are living and married except Ida, who resides with her father and attends college. The next of the Doctor's children, Edward, is a resident of Johnson County, Wyo., and is a first-class dentist. He has a large ranch and is a wealthy man. His wife, who was Miss Lula Mallison, bore him three children-two sons and a daughter: Al., Charles and Mabel. The next of the Doctor's children, Freddie, married Miss Anna Radford and is now engaged in the boot and shoe business in St. Louis. Ada married George Mygott, and Robert L. resides in Fort Scott, Kas. He is a railroad man and married Miss Lula Burns. They have four children: Leah, Robert, Mary and George. The death of the Doctor's; first wife occurred in 1863, in St. Louis. Nearly all her life she had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was a lady whose excellent qualities of mind and heart endeared her to all. The Doctor's second marriage was with Miss Mary Priest, of Spring Hill, Tenn, and the daughter of Thomas H. and Nancy (Merritt) Priest, who were early settlers of Tennessee, where they passed their last days. Mrs. Barrett was born in Maury County, Tenn., and is still living. She is a lady of culture and refinement, and is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Barrett has ever taken an active part in politics, and is an earnest supporter of the principles of his party.

RESTLESS OBAMA SEEKS COMFORT IN THE COUNTRY: 'We want to get back in the groove' -- NEW HASSLE FOR GOP: State parties in disarray – LEIBO BOOK hits NYT list
WHAT POTUS IS THINKING -- "Obama's new bid to 'get back in the groove,'" by Glenn Thrush and Carrie Budoff Brown, with David Nather: "In years past, the crowds would flock to see Barack Obama — this summer, it's Obama who's looking for a few good crowds. Obama, a president who gets a lift from supporters outside the Beltway and wilts in the D.C. hothouse, is hitting the road for all the expected second-term reasons: to regain his slipping leverage over Republicans ahead of the looming debt ceiling battle this fall, and to refocus his oft-meandering message back on the economy, which is all voters really care about. Yet as much as anything, Obama has embarked on this week's series of policy speeches to improve his own ambiguous frame of mind and take a comforting spin in the way-back machine, like a veteran chart-topper revisiting smaller, friendlier haunts on a comeback tour. That approach risks his embodying the Republican caricature of him as a rhetoric addict who schedules a speech anytime he can't think of anything better to do — but his team is willing to risk the ridicule to change the Obama-in-decline narrative.
"'We want to get back in the groove,' said an Obama aide, describing this week's menu of three presidential policy addresses. 'This is very clearly our attempt to get back in the groove.' … Aides describe Obama as basically upbeat but restless, eager to try any approach to break the logjam that is threatening to grind his second-term agenda to dust. … The summer tour, which could include a total of six to eight speeches between now and September, will help his team hone the message for the fall and roll out proposals — some new, some repurposed — on jobs, retirement security, college affordability and employment training, administration officials said. But given the GOP resistance in Congress, it's not clear he'll be able to point to any tangible progress at the close of his roadshow." http://politi.co/16cuNee
Story Continued Below
DRIVING THE DAY: At 2:35 p.m. at the Jacksonville (Fla.) Port Authority, per a White House official, President Obama will "talk about the cornerstones of middle class security and discuss specifically how the House Republican budget approach poses a risk to the progress we've made in … jobs, education, housing, and health care. … The President will deliver remarks at JAXPORT, the home to two infrastructure projects that his Administration expedited … through executive order to … speed up federal review and permitting of infrastructure projects."
--SPEAKER BOEHNER AIDE responds to the Galesburg address with an email to his press list with subject line, "FLASH: Summary of the president's speech": "I'm going to give more speeches."
HOW OBAMA'S SPEECH PLAYED: N.Y. Times A16, "Obama Returns Focus to Economy With Vow to Aid Middle Class" … WSJ A4, "Obama Tries to Shift Focus to Middle Class: Speech Emphasizes Need for Upward Mobility Rather Than Budget Fights; Boehner Calls Address 'A Hollow Shell'" … WashPost 1-col. lead, "Obama hits a populist note" … Chicago Tribune, above fold: "In Galesburg, few signs of a U.S. recovery: Gutted manufacturing base has Illinois city struggling to rebound" (with p. 1 refer to inside story, "Obama touts economic recovery in Illinois speech: In a high-profile speech, President Barack Obama took credit for the economy's comeback while noting 'we have more work to do.' Experts agree the U.S. is gaining ground, but some question whether the economy can sustain the rate of growth.")
KARL ROVE, to Greta Van Susteren on Fox News last night: "This guy can't do anything except go give a speech, blame somebody else and talk about political posturing while he is spending over an hour politically posturing … They're just using the economy as an excuse to go out there and say, 'We're not Washington, we're not part of the games going on there.'" --Hadas Gold
MOOD MUSIC – Financial Times p. 1 refer: "Domestic recovery boosts US earnings: "Some of the US's biggest industrial companies have given more evidence of how a domestic economic recovery and federal spending are underpinning corporate earnings." … WSJ A1, "Autos Roar as [U.S. and Europe] Economies Idle."

THE FREAK SHOW: "Weiner faces growing calls to quit mayor's race," by AP's Jonathan Lemire and Jennifer Peltz: "'I think he should pull out of the race. I think he needs serious psychiatric help,' [said] Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. Weiner … was greeted with boos as he took the stage to speak at a public housing meeting Wednesday evening, but by the end of his remarks, the crowd loudly cheered. 'I thought these things would come out by the end of the campaign, and some of them have. Look, I am pressing forward, running a campaign about the issues, and I'm getting a good response,' he said afterward. … A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday continued to place Weiner in the top rung of Democratic contenders with Quinn and Thompson, though it was taken largely before the scandal broke."

PULLING BACK THE CAMERA – "State Republican parties mired in dysfunction," by AP's Steve Peoples in Portland, Maine, with Alanna Durkin in Maine, Brian Bakst in Minnesota and Thomas Beaumont in Iowa: "Plagued by infighting and deep ideological divisions, state Republican parties from Alaska to Maine are mired in dysfunction. Several state Republican leaders have been forced out or resigned in recent months, and many state GOP parties face financial problems and skeptical national leaders. … The [RNC] announced Wednesday that it has hired a dozen state directors to work closely with state parties … The Illinois state GOP chairman resigned in May after party moderates clashed with social conservatives over the chairman's support for gay marriage. The Alaska Republican Party is on its third chairman this year; party activists ousted the first two over fundraising concerns. The Minnesota GOP was without a chair for months early in the year and long has been troubled by financial issues. And state parties in Nevada and Iowa are largely controlled by members of the GOP's libertarian wing …
"[RNC Chairman Reince] Priebus on Wednesday announced the addition of state-level directors in 12 states: California, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Their tasks include working with state parties to coordinate campaign efforts, planning GOP events across their states and collecting voter data." http://bit.ly/13d2E3E
2014 MEETS 2016 -- "Rand Paul in tough spot in 2014 Ky. Senate race," by Manu Raju: "Mitch McConnell's campaign manager didn't hold back when he learned that his boss had a new GOP primary challenger. 'Matthew Griswold Bevin is not a Kentucky conservative, he is merely an East Coast con man,' Jesse Benton, McConnell's campaign manager … But the Kentucky conservative Benton used to work for — Sen. Rand Paul — had a more positive assessment … 'I don't have anything bad to say about [Bevin],' the junior Republican senator from Kentucky told POLITICO. 'I think he's a good family man and does mission work.' The exchange illustrates the land mines Paul faces as he navigates an intraparty war in Kentucky between the two factions he's trying to court ahead of a possible 2016 White House run: tea party activists and the Republican establishment. …
"Paul has methodically tried to broaden his appeal … And nowhere has that been more apparent than in his increasingly close ties to McConnell, the Senate veteran who could be a critical asset in selling a Paul White House candidacy to the party establishment. … 'I'm not giving [Bevin] encouragement or discouragement," Paul [told Kentucky reporters]. 'It's a free country and anyone who wants to run can. I have endorsed Sen. McConnell.' After defeating McConnell's handpicked candidate in the 2010 Senate primary, Paul has developed a close political alliance with McConnell that benefits both men." http://politi.co/12ln2Wd
HAPPY-HOUR HELPER: Stuff to chat about – WashPost, top of A1, "Gray, D.C. United reach soccer stadium pact for SW," by Jonathan O'Connell, with Mike DeBonis and Steven Goff: "D.C. United executives and District officials have reached a preliminary $300 million deal to build a 20,000-seat stadium for the team on Buzzard Point in Southwest Washington. The agreement, team and city leaders said, could end a decade-long search by the Major League Soccer franchise for a new venue that would allow it to leave RFK Stadium, where D.C. United has played since its founding in 1996 but where its investors say the team loses money every year. The project also would mark an economic development achievement for Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) as he weighs a run for reelection next year. Plotted … a few blocks southwest of Nationals Park, the stadium would add another link in a chain of developments along the city's waterfront. … But the plan hinges on a series of proposed land swaps and development projects … And convincing District residents and lawmakers to back the deal is likely to open old wounds over the divisive fight to build Nationals Park, which the District paid for entirely.
"City Administrator Allen Y. Lew … said the project has more in common with the construction of Verizon Center downtown — a privately financed stadium enabled by government spending on land and infrastructure. With the city planning a new streetcar line and a $600 million realignment of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge nearby, Lew said the soccer stadium could do for the west side of South Capitol Street what Nationals Park has done on the east. … [T]he District and United would split the costs for the project, with the city providing about $150 million to assemble land and prepare the site and the team spending a similar amount building the stadium. … [A] private landowner on the [needed land], businessman and venture capitalist Mark Ein, said he also … considering a swap for industrial properties he controls along S Street SW. 'I want to try to be a good citizen and be helpful,' Ein said." http://wapo.st/1bkul4n

****** A message from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation: Washington is debating tax reform. There's talk of substantial tax cuts that will give trillions of dollars back to American taxpayers. That sounds great. But if these tax cuts aren't paid for, future generations will be stuck with the bill. Congress is right to pursue tax reform - the code is outdated, complex and unfair. Tax reform done right should be permanent, because businesses and individuals need certainty to plan and invest. It should be based on realistic, independent projections and assumptions about the effect on our economy and our fiscal outlook. And it should enjoy bipartisan support, so that it's durable over time. Lawmakers should use the valuable opportunity presented by tax reform both to improve our fiscal outlook and strengthen the economy at the same time. Congress, tax reform should grow the economy. Not the debt. Learn more at www.pgpf.org/tax-reform. ******

The White Sox aim to overcome two major hurdles — fatigue and walks.

The White Sox aim to overcome two major hurdles — fatigue and walks.
The Sox walked a season-high 12 batters Wednesday night, something they could not explain, although veteran Matt Thornton said everyone is fatigued.
"Every pitcher," Thornton said. "Every position player. Every coach. If you're not tired right now, then you've been holding back quite a bit throughout the season. I don't know how you pull that one off. Everyone is tired throughout baseball. That's why you grind it out, fight it out and find your way to the postseason, and the postseason takes care of all of that."
In Wednesday's debacle, Brian Omogrosso and Nate Jones were summoned to pitch one day after each had thrown 2 1/3 innings. Omogrosso didn't issue a walk, but he allowed a two-run, game-tying single to Jason Kipnis, and Jones walked two in one-third of an inning.
"You don't like it, but they're not out there trying to do it," manager Robin Ventura said of the walks. "It's not something that they're happy with. But again you move on and try to win (Thursday's) game and do what you can (Thursday) and not worry about what happened (Wednesday)."
No message necessary: After losing seven of eight and falling out of first place in the American League Central, slugger Adam Dunn said the Sox's current state was enough of a message to the team about improving immediately.
"If you need to be told what to do, or you need a pep talk right now, then you might as well walk out that door and 'see ya,'" Dunn said. "This is what you worked all season for, and it's true. This is where you wanted to be at this time. I don't know if we're up or down, I don't know where we are, and I don't care. If we play well, the cards will fall where they may. We just got to play better these (final) games, for sure."
Extra innings: Left-hander John Danks was informed he remains on schedule to resume playing catch Nov. 1 after undergoing shoulder surgery six weeks ago. "That was music to my ears," Danks said. "I feel if I can start throwing the first of November, that should give me enough time to be ready for spring, and we'll go from there." … Sox television announcer Ken Harrelson was sidelined because of flu-like symptoms and replaced by Mike Huff.

Model gulch plans after Paradise Valley | Letter
Editor, The Beacon:
With all due respect, many of the comments about the BMX area in Japanese Gulch are ill informed, off target and simply incorrect.
First, I have been running, mountain biking and helping to build and maintain trails in the gulch for about 20 years. For as long as I can remember, there have been bumps, jumps and structures to challenge riders better than I am in this general area.
For many years there was an abandon vehicle that was used for jumping and trails-type activity. This is not new: Things have been remodeled and redone for years. Think of the area as a skateboard park for BMX'ers.
Second, look at the message being sent to really talented riders and those who want to learn. Like the mountain bikers, they use their own time, energy and equipment to construct an area to practice and ride.
Isn't this a lot more healthy and positive than overeating while gaming or watching videos? Isn't a positive work and exercise ethic something that should be encouraged? Sweat equity just like the dog park construction and maintenance?
Third, if those involved are not constructing features in an environmentally responsible manner, how about working with them to develop a positive area?
It would be really good for those who view this negatively to take a short drive over to the county's Paradise Valley trail system north of Bothell and see how a well thought out system can benefit multiple users.
Paradise Valley offers trails for hikers, equestrian users, mountain bikers, and yes, even a bike park situated in a corner with many different features.
The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance has done an excellent job of thoughtfully developing the park and mountain bike system with Snohomish County.
It is great that the city and a motivated group of individuals have brought part of the area into public ownership.
This could have happened over 15 years ago largely with County Conservation Futures funding and a tax exempt donation by the owners, but at that time the city was more interested in trying to run a road down the gulch and quashed the idea.
Hopefully, the area can now be maintained and developed for a variety of different users, especially younger riders and hikers who are willing to put their own time and energy into improving the area.
Thank you,
Dan Clements,

|Legends Moorland Course, Myrtle Beach, P.B. Dye Hills No. 4 (Chris Baldwin/WorldGolf.com)
With more than 100 golf courses sporting the biggest-name architects in golf, Myrtle Beach is well-known as a prime golf-vacation destination. If you need a little more convincing, we've taken our favorite Grand Strand golf holes and combined into what would be our dream Myrtle Beach play.
Our front nine took in spectacular tracks like the Long Bay Club and King's North at Myrtle Beach National. Now, we head home - our back nine closes the show in style. Each hole on our "course" corresponds to its placement on the actual golf course.
No. 10 - Prestwick Country Club: Prestwick's 383-yard par-4 10th offers a delectable start to a delicious back nine - the same purpose it serves in real life, according to golf writer Tim McDonald, who in his course review of Prestwick, called the second half of the course "the front nine jacked up on steroids."
No. 11 - Caledonia Golf & Fish Club: You get what you pay for at this upscale Grand Strand club, and this 167-yard par-3 gives you the scenery and style that make Caledonia a Myrtle Beach golf favorite.
No. 12 - King's North at Myrtle Beach National: You'll be shooting downhill to an island green on this nerve-wracking 140-yard par 3. Bunkers and a tricky green make this not only one of the Grand Strand's prettier par 3s but one of the most challenging.
No. 13 - Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation: Tidewater's memorable holes are almost too numerous to pick just one. "It's a gorgeous course, with overhanging oaks, marsh everywhere and high bluffs overlooking the sun-sparkled Intracoastal Waterway, complete with cruising sailboats and dotted with local fishermen," McDonald wrote.
We'll go with the 539-yard, par-5 13th so you can savor the ocean views.
No. 14 - Palmetto at Myrtlewood Golf Club: There's plenty to choose from among Myrtlewood's 36 holes. but you'll want to save your best swings for this 366 par-4 that will have you dodging water.
No. 15 - Willbrook Plantation Golf Club: Listed in the book "The 100 Greatest Holes Along the Grand Strand," Willbrook's 15th cements the course's sterling rep. While many praise the club's women-friendliness, this 538-yard par-5 will require some heavy hitting.
No. 16 - Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links: Plenty of golfers will tell you Glen Dornoch is about as good as it gets in Myrtle Beach. This 431-yard par-4 begins what many consider the most treacherous closing trio on the Grand Strand.
"The 16th is classic strategy hole, with a hill on the right and the fairway narrowing to a trickle on the left. Hit to the crest of a hill to have the best angle down into the green, over marsh. And put away your driver or suffer the consequences," McDonald warned.
No. 17 - TPC of Myrtle Beach: This Tom Fazio design shows a little more sympathy for the duffers than usual on this Grand Strand standout, but it still packs considerable punch, as the 145-slope rating attests.
This par-3 17th is a scenic 193-yard delight that will have you shooting to a near-island green. Victory or a two-shot penalty could be yours.
No. 18 - Heritage Golf Club: You might as well finish strong, and this Pawleys Island delight brings it home right. The grand oaks frame your way through this 530-yard par-5 that shows off everything that's grand about Grand Strand golf, from clubhouse to green.
Par: 36
Yardage: 3,231
Par: 72

UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Nations have begun signing a treaty intended to curb mercury pollution and the use of the toxic metal in products around the world, the United Nations says.
The Minamata Convention -- named after a Japanese city where mercury poisoning caused severe health problems in the mid-20th century -- is being signed in Japan after four years of complex negotiations among more than 140 member states, the United Nations Environmental Program reported.
Data show mercury emissions have been rising in a number of developing nations, UNEP said, with SouthEast Asia the largest regional emitter, accounting for almost half of the element's annual global emissions.
"With this convention, nations have laid the foundations for a global response to a pollutant whose notoriety has been recognized since Greek and Roman times," UNEP's Executive Director Achim Steiner said.
Exposure to mercury and its various compounds can cause brain and neurological damage, especially in young people, as well as harm to kidneys and the digestive system, UNEP said.
"Everyone in the world stands to benefit from [the treaty], in particular the workers and families of small-scale gold miners, the peoples of the Arctic and this generation of mothers and babies and the generations to come," Steiner said.

PhD position in Algorithmic Game Theory, Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
The Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization Group (PNA1) at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam invites applications for a PhD position (four years) in Algorithmic Game Theory. Founded in 1946, the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) is the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands. It is located in the Science Park Amsterdam and is part of the "Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research" (NWO). The institute is internationally focused and renowned for its high quality research. Over 160 researchers conduct pioneering research and share their acquired knowledge with society. More than 30 researchers are employed as professors at universities. The institute has generated twenty-one spin-off companies. CWI maintains excellent relations with industry and the academic world, both in the Netherlands as well as abroad. The library and computing facilities are first-rate. CWI's non-scientific services include career planning, training and courses, and assistance in finding housing. The research group "Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization" in the cluster "Probability, Networks and Algorithms" has a vacancy for a talented **PhD student** on the subject Social Interactions in Games. Research group: The Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization Group (PNA1) performs fundamental research, focusing on the development of new efficient algorithmic methods for problems in combinatorics, optimization and algorithmic game theory. The group's research is motivated by real-world applications. The techniques that the group develops make use of tools from mathematics, operations research, computer science, game theory and logic. The PhD candidate will be part of the Algorithmic Game Theory Group within PNA1, which focuses on interdisciplinary research at the interface of game theory, optimization and algorithms. Job description: Many real-world applications are complex and distributed in nature in that they involve a multitude of independent decision makers who attempt to achieve their own goals. It is well-known that strategic choices often result in outcomes that are inefficient for the society as a whole. Algorithmic game theory has shed new light on various aspects of such situations of strategic interaction. However, most studies assume that the decision makers correspond to "isolated" entities who make their choices based on purely selfish incitements. This assumption is overly simplistic: Decision makers are often motivated by other-regarding preferences such as altruism, spite or fairness and typically exhibit complex social relationships. The goal of the project is to gain an accurate understanding of such social interactions in games. Relevant research aspects of the PhD project include (but are not limited to) inefficiency of equilibria, complexity of games, algorithmic mechanism design, etc. The PhD candidate will be given the possibility to pursue part of her/his studies abroad, to attend international doctoral schools, conferences and workshops, and to participate in the national PhD programme organized by the LNMB (Dutch Network on the Mathematics of Operations Research). Requirements: The PhD candidate is required to have a master's degree in mathematics or computer science and should have an excellent background in combinatorial optimization and algorithms. Ideally, the candidate has already worked in the area of algorithmic game theory and demonstrated the ability to pursue independent research. Candidates are expected to have an excellent command of English, and good academic writing and presentation skills. Terms and conditions: The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labor Agreement for Research Institutes ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). Moreover, CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees. CWI also offers excellent and flexible terms of employment, including an employee pension fund. The gross monthly salary, for an employee on a full time basis, is 2,057 Euro during the first year and increases to 2,636 Euro over the four year period. Expats may apply for a profitable tax ruling, which, if approved by the tax authorities, would mean not having to pay taxes over 30% of your income. Information: Additional information can be obtained from Prof. dr. Guido Schaefer, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please see also our website http://www.cwi.nl/research-groups/algorithms-combinatorics-and-optimization. Application: Please send your application before September 30, 2012 to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications should include a detailed CV, a motivation letter, a list of your M.SC. courses and grades, a copy of your master thesis, and a list of publications (if applicable). Please mention at least two references. Additional information about working at CWI can be seen in the video "A Fundamental Difference": http://www.cwi.nl/general/movies-about-cwi or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e-VYBdBKis

THERE is little chance of Darian MacKinnon ever taking his career for granted.
Two years ago the midfielder was playing part-time junior football with Clydebank on top of his day job working as a labourer.
At almost 26 years old there was a feeling that his chances of making it as a professional may have passed him by. Hamilton Academical, however, saw it differently, giving MacKinnon a belated opportunity in full-time football. Should Hamilton go on to win promotion this season, he could be playing in the SPFL Premiership next year, something unimaginable not so long ago.
Loading article content
"When I joined Clydebank everyone was telling me that I had a chance to turn pro but nothing happened," he recalled. "Paul Hartley spoke to me about signing for Alloa but the travelling was too much for a part-time contract.
"Then Hamilton called and I was delighted to come here. Coming into the senior game later than most makes me appreciate it more, I think. I actually enjoyed labouring but in the cold weather your hands would be freezing. So coming in for training every morning feels like a luxury."
With just 12 matches remaining, Hamilton, who take on Livingston at home this evening, are in a strong position to push for the title. MacKinnon hopes to be involved in all of those games but only if he can keep his temper under control. "I need to understand referees are not going to change their minds because I'm screaming in their faces," he said.
It has taken time for Livingston to have something to positive to shout about at all, a 3-0 win over Alloa on Saturday bringing an end to a run of five matches which comprised just one win. It was also their first victory since Stefan Scougall and Coll Donaldson were sold to Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers respectively, departures which have caused Livingston to alter their style.
"We are having to do different things to win," said John McGlynn, the Livingston manager. "We lost Stefan and lost Coll but we still have to win matches."

The Ministry of Justice has published a consultation on reforming the remission system which allows people not to pay full court and tribunal fees in certain circumstances. The remission system will become more relevant to employers and employees as the Government plans to introduce fees for employment tribunals this summer. The proposed remission system would have two tests, the first of which would assess 'disposable capital' and the second, gross monthly income. Both of these tests would have to be met to qualify for a remission. The consultation on the revised remission scheme closes on 16 May 2013.
The Government states that its reforms, which will create a single remissions system across the UK Supreme Court, civil courts and nearly all tribunals, will make the system 'better targeted so that those that can afford to pay a fee do so'. Eligibility for a fee remission under the proposed system will first involve an assessment of an applicant's and/or their partner's disposable capital. This will include savings, investments and redundancy payments, but exclude unfair dismissal compensation. The Government proposes that for fees up to £1,000 remissions will be available if disposable capital does not exceed £3,000. For fees between £1,001 and £4,000, remissions will be available if disposable capital does not exceed £8,000. In rare cases where a fee exceeds £4,000, the capital limit will be £16,000.
If the disposable capital test is met, a second test, based on the gross monthly income of either a single person or a couple, will consider whether an applicant receives a full fee waiver, pays a contribution towards their fee, or pays the full fee. Full remission For a full fee waiver an applicant's gross monthly income must be below:
|If single
|If in a couple
|Wtih no children
|With 1 child
|With 2 children
Kate Fretten, Employment Partner says "If a person has more than two children, the gross monthly income entitling them to a full remission increases by £245 per child. A child is taken into account if he or she lives with the applicant, or the applicant pays maintenance for him or her."
Get in touch if you need more information on this topic. You should find the other articles in May's employment newsletter of interest.
For a free initial meeting please call 01202 499255 and Kate or Paul will be happy to discuss any questions you may have.

Another sample from my massive Adagio order.
I don't care for this one. I'm not getting the fruit flavours from this one at all. I'm getting mostly just the floral/rose taste from it. I'm getting just a hint of coconut to it too. The pineapple is completely lost to me. Because I'm not the type to enjoy rose/florals in my tea, I'm not really enjoying this one at all. I'm drinking it, but I don't think I'd go for another glass. This one will be given to my mom as she tends to love white teas and florals.

What is a Posterior Vitreous Detachment?
A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common condition that occurs when the vitreous (the jelly-like substance filling the eye) shrinks as a part of the normal aging process and separates from the retina (the photosensitive tissue lining the back of the eye).
During a posterior vitreous detachment very small fibers within the vitreous pull on the retina, causing spontaneous flashes of light in some patients. In most cases, the vitreous separates from the retina without any problems; however, in a small percentage of people, a posterior vitreous detachment can lead to a retinal tear or retinal detachment.
A posterior vitreous detachment can occur in younger people if they are nearsighted (myopic) or if there was trauma to the eye from a decelerating injury (whip-lash). Since the vitreous usually has a stronger adhesion to the retina in younger patients, there is a greater risk of a retinal tear or retinal detachment.
Who does it affect and what are the risk factors?
Posterior vitreous detachments occur as a normal part of the aging process and are very common in older people. Studies have shown that posterior vitreous detachments occur in around 53% of people over 50 years old and 67% of people over 65 years old. Posterior vitreous detachments can also occur in people under 50, though this happens less often (around 6%). The following risk factors increase the risk of developing a posterior vitreous detachment:
1. Age
2. Myopia (nearsightedness)
3. Trauma from decelerating injuries
4. Inflammation in the eye
What are the symptoms of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)?
In some cases, patients do not experience any symptoms. Most patients, however, experience one or more of the following symptoms:
1. Floaters in the shape of dots or cobwebs
2. Flashes of light
How can the doctor determine the extent of my posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)?
The doctor will perform a dilated exam using a slit lamp to determine the extent of the posterior vitreous detachment and its effect on the macula. To check the outer retina, the doctor will use an indirect ophthalmoscope. To precisely document the posterior vitreous detachment and how it changes over time, pictures of your eye will be taken.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is
a high definition image of the retina taken by a scanning
ophthalmoscope with a resolution of 5 microns. These
scans can image the posterior vitreous detachment
and the doctor will use OCT images to objectively
document the progress of the disease throughout the
course of your treatment.
Ultrasound of the eye (B-scan) uses
sound waves that reflect off the different tissues
in the eye to form an image. These images can determine
the extent of the vitreous detachment.

the extent of the vitreous detachment.
What are the possible complications of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)?
As the most of vitreous pulls away from the retina, some fibers can get stuck to the retina. As these stuck fibers pull on the retina, a retinal tear or detachment can develop. Myopic (nearsighted) patients are at a much higher risk of developing a retinal tear or retinal detachment than non-myopic patients because they have thin retinas. If you experience any of the following symptoms, please call us immediately:
1. Black curtain coming across your vision
2. Sudden onset of numerous flashes
3. Sudden onset of a floaters that look like sand
4. Sudden blind spot in your side vision
How long does it take for the vitreous to separate from the retina and what can I do to prevent complications?
Once the vitreous begins to separate from the retina, it can take a month or more to separate completely in most people. While the vitreous is separating from the retina, it is important that you refrain from any strenuous activity (i.e. jogging, weight lifting, yoga or martial arts) or traumatic or decelerating movements of the head (i.e. boxing, roller coasters). The doctor will monitor the progress of your posterior vitreous detachment and inform you when you may resume normal activities.
What are the treatment options?
There is no way to treat a posterior vitreous detachment and observation is the best course of action. If a retinal tear or retinal detachment does occur, several treatment options are available. A retinal tear can be treated with barrier laser treatment or cryoretinopexy. Both of these procedures can be done in our office. A retinal detachment requires surgical intervention and depending on the extent and location of the retinal detachment, several different techniques are used. It is important to monitor your vision throughout the course of the posterior vitreous detachment and call us immediately if you experience any sudden increases in flashes and/or floaters.

Although IBM's SmarterPlanet initiative was not emphasized (and I cannot recall its being mentioned), it was there in spirit. The company also continued to build on the "three I's" theme from prior years: Everything will be Instrumented, Interconnected and Intelligent. To enable this, IT infrastructures need to have visibility, control and automation.
Among other things, the "three I's" mean that more physical infrastructures will join the digital information world. Visibility (seeing what is happening), control (managing IT services as they are provided) and automation (eliminating routine and repetitive tasks) are critical as the three Is become ubiquitous. IBM's consistency in emphasizing those concepts for years is resonant because, frankly, they are mantras that all IT (not just IBM customers) should internalize.
At Pulse2013, IBM linked cloud computing, mobile enterprise and the smarter physical infrastructure with the need for security intelligence (to protect against threats) and operational big data analytics (to uncover new insights).
Continued Dispersion of Enterprise Computing
When we think of the center of computing, we still think of the corporate data center. Although that may still be true for legacy enterprise mission-critical systems, the heliocentric view of the data center as the sun of the computing universe has not been true for a long time and is becoming less so. Even though traditional data centers will remain important, they are only part of the computing universe, and IT has to contend with a growing range of related solutions and services.
Take access, for example. User access to online applications was once provided by dumb terminals in buildings hardwired to a computer in the same (or a nearby) building. The replacement of the dumb terminal with PCs changed the locus of computing a little. The advent of laptops moved part of computing outside corporately controlled boundaries, but usually required a plug-in connection (such as in a hotel room). Recent moves to even greater mobility with tablets and smartphone means untethered access (Wi-Fi or cellular networks). Co-mingle personal and enterprise data on the same device and access to SaaS and other applications in the public cloud, and IT faces both security and management control challenges.
Take sharing of applications. Server visualization not only enables the consolidation of many applications on the same physical server, but also increases the ability for applications to move from one physical server to another. And that move may even be between data centers for workload balancing, disaster recovery, or cost reasons. This application mobility shell game means that there is no longer one single, static locus for computing. We are now in a dynamic world that provides many benefits, but also ups the ante on what is needed to manage it.
Now, add in a smarter physical infrastructure. The Cartagena, Columbia ocean container shipping terminals (Manga and Contecar) had a very interesting story to tell at IBM Pulse 2013. Container ships (such as those originating from Asia) use the Panama Canal to carry huge containers to, say, the East Coast of the United States and to Europe.
[ Join us at Interop Las Vegas for access to 125+ IT sessions and 300+ exhibiting companies. Register today! ]
Containers that arrive in Cartagena via the Panama Canal may take a different ship to their final destination. This is a many-to-many problem in which containers from many arriving ships have to be moved to many departing ships (although each container goes only from one ship to another).
But the intricate dance of ships, cranes, trucks and storage slots is more than an algorithmic exercise in cost optimization. It is also about reliability, safet, and customer service. Physical infrastructure technologies--such as container number, truck plate, and container video--are automatically gathered at the gate where a container arrives in or leaves a port, as well as the use of GPS for a smart rail system. More traditional IT information, such as work orders for each vessel arrival, is also part of the system.
In Cartagena, a mix of traditional data center and distributed capabilities lead to a new breed of enterprise mission-critical system, and the most critical hardware component is the Wi-Fi network. Think of the management issues that arise, including cloud computing (such as now having to manage Wi-Fi and sensor-based information with the necessary reliability), security (such as now including a non-wired network) and mobility (such as machine generated sensor-based data from maybe fixed station devices, but external from the data center).
This is just one example. Is it any wonder that IBM (as well as many others vendors) recognizes that the journey to the cloud will be a long one, and that virtualization alone does not make a cloud?

This article will easily explain how to configure your Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch to access your network by using the SonicWALL WAN GroupVPN Security Association and the built-in L2TP server. This relates to SonicOS Enhanced version 5.2.x (or newer) firmware.
Access is granted to the LAN behind via the SonicWALL appliance. You do not need a third party L2TP server solution.
Follow these easy steps in order:
1 - Login to your SonicWALL NSA UTM appliance as the Administrator in Configuration Mode.
2 - Navigate to Network and Address Objects
3 - Add the following Address Object:
Name: iPad L2TP Subnet (or another name you wish to identify with)
Zone Assignment: VPN
Type: Network
Network: 10.99.79.0 - This is the new network subnet that we will assign purely for L2TP connections. It should NOT be a subnet range in use on your network. You do not need to use this address, we have selected for display purposes.
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 - We have chosen to use a Class C subnet.
4 - Click OK to add the Address Object
5 - From the SonicWALL NSA menu select Users and Settings
6 - Ensure that Local Users are available. If you already have LDAP or RADIUS ensure that + Local Users is selected. This ensures you can use your Local User database on the SonicWALL (covered later).
7 - From the SonicWALL NSA menu navigate to VPN and L2TP Server.
8 - Enable the L2TP server and click on Configure. Set the details as follows:
Keep alive time (secs): 60
DNS Server 1: 192.168.168.1 (well, obviously use your internal DNS server)
DNS Server 2: 192.168.168.2 (again this is for display purposes - if you have a second DNS server, use it)
WINS Server 1: 0.0.0.0 (or enter your WINS IP address here)
WINS Server 2: 0.0.0.0 (as above)
Select Use the Local L2TP IP Pool
Start IP: 10.99.79.1 (this is the start IP of the L2TP network you created earlier)
End IP: 10.99.79.10 (this is the end IP of the L2TP network you created earlier)
User group for L2TP users: Trusted Users (or Everyone if you prefer)
9 - From the SonicWALL NSA menu, whilst still in VPN select Settings
10 - Configure the WAN GroupVPN policy with the following settings:
General Tab
Shared Secret: password (well, enter your password here)
Proposals Tab
IKE (Phase 1) Proposal
DH Group: Group 2
Encryption: 3DES
Authentication: SHA1
Life Time (seconds): 28800
Ipsec (Phase 2) Proposal
Protocol: ESP
Encryption: 3DES
Authentication: SHA1
Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy: Disabled
Life Time (seconds): 28800
Advanced Tab
Enable Windows Network (NetBIOS) Broadcast: Enabled
Enable Multicast: Disabled
Management via this SA: Unchecked for both HTTP and HTTPS
Default LAN Gateway: Public (WAN) IP address of the SonicWALL appliance
Require Authentication of VPN Clients via XAUTH: Enabled
User Group for XAUTH Users: Trusted Users (or Everyone)
Allow Unauthenticated VPN Client Access: Disabled
Client Tab
Cache XAUTH User Name and Password on Client: Always
Virtual Adapter settings: DHCP Lease
Allow Connections to: This Gateway Only
Set Default Route as this Gateway: Enabled
Apply VPN Access Control List: Disabled
Use Default Key for Simple Client Provisioning: Disabled
11 - Returning to the SonicWALL appliance menu, and still in VPN, select DHCP over VPN
12 - Select Central Gateway and click on Configure and ensure the following:
Use Internal DHCP Server: Enabled
For Global VPN Client: Enabled
For Remote Firewall: Disabled
Send DHCP requests to the server address listed below: Disabled
Relay IP Address (Optional): 0.0.0.0
13 - From the SonicWALL menu navigate to Firewall and Access rules
14 - Select VPN to WAN from the matrix or drop down menu and add the following rule:
Action: Allow
From Zone: VPN
To Zone: WAN
Service: ANY
Source: WAN RemoteAccess Networks
Destination: ANY
Users Allowed: All
Schedule: Always on
15 - From the SonicWALL menu navigate to Network and NAT Policies
16 - Add the following NAT Policy:
Original Source: iPad L2TP Subnet (or whatever you created in Step 3)
Translated Source: WAN Primary IP (usually X1 IP)
Original Destination: Any
Translated Destination: Original
Original Service: Any
Translated Service: Original
Inbound Interface: Any
Outbound Interface: X1 (your WAN interface)
17 - From the SonicWALL NSA menu navigate to Users and Local Users
18 - Create a new user (if one doesn't exist) and then select the VPN Access tab and add the following objects:
LAN Subnets
WAN RemoteAccess Networks
iPad L2TP Subnet (or whatever you called the Address Object that you created in step 3)
NOTE: You can add these networks to the Trusted Users or Everyone list if you wish - or individually for users. You must also add any other Address Objects to which you may require access here. We have used the basic LAN Subnets for access to the LAN above for demonstrative purposes.
19 - Click on OK to add the user
Thats your SonicWALL Appliance ready! - Now go to Part 2: Setup your iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch

In the video I learned how to mount deer it said to wash the cape
before pickiling so you would not contaminate the pickle.In here I
have been reading to pickle for three days then wash if it needs it.
Was my earlyer info bad? I have tanned about 20 capes and never
had a problem until yesterday Ilost a cape and it,s tearing me up
trying to figure out whut went wrong.
Return to Category Menu
Hello Clint,
Your going to find that the more you do taxidermy, the more you'll see it happen.
To pin point the problem you experienced would be nearly impossible, as It could have already beenthere before you recieved the hide.The skin could have been left on the carcas too long under unfavorable conditions or sat in your customer's fridge to long, and so on and so an.
It coulb be that your ph in the pickling solution was unstable.
I've eveen knowen of taxidermist totaly forgetting to add the salt to the pickle.
Personally, The only time I will wash my hides before I pickle is if there is just too much blood.I want to rinse this off. But I'll always salt my hides down for a few days, before I do this. Otherwise I'll wait until after I neutrilize to do my washing.
Mr. Ben Mears gave me a good tip one day. He says that on the hides that needs washing before the pickling or what ever method you're using,to wash them in real cold water and sodium sulfate. Sodium Sulfate has excelent cleaning propeerties, and is also used as a booster and extender forsoaps and detergents.I've tried it with excelent results.It wont play around with the ph.
Do you add a bactericide to you bath solutions?
This will help prevent bacteria from setting in during the bath.
By not maintaining the proper ph in you tannings (depending on what product you're using) may also cause slippage.Something to think about.
My intentions were not meant to be long winded. I'm just saying that the problem may not have been due to the bath. It could be elsewhere.Something that you may have done wronge or something that had happened before the hide got into your hands.
Every time a customer brings a furred animal to me , if not frozen,The first thing that I do, and I'll be sure to do it in front of the customer, I'll gently tug on the hair in several spots to be sure that the hair is not slipping. If it does, the customer will know that Is nothing that you've done.
I hope that some of this will help you in the future.
If you have anymore questions, feel free to call me at (1-800)843-3320 ext.105 or you can always e-mail me at this address.
Have a good day.......Dave at VanDykes>Product Specialist

Letter: These two are looking out for Kinni taxpayers
Thanks to Candace Bettendorf's relentless efforts, Kinnickinnic now receives properly itemized bills from its attorney.
We hope the Town Board will ask its engineer SEH to apply that same professionalism to the thousands of dollars it charges the town each month.
That firm must be laughing all the way to its bank.
When the town contracted with SEH to develop our comprehensive plan for a flat fee, it looked like a money loser for the firm because the project dragged on for five years.
But getting its feet in the door at our Town Hall has paid off big, with our fiscally indifferent Board using SEH for everything from preparing minutes to running errands at the County offices -- tasks one would think our officials would be doing themselves.
In recent bills Simons charged the Town $579 and $669 for attending two meetings, and billed nearly $400 more for preparing the minutes.
At $200 a page, wouldn't our clerk or a committee member be a better choice?
And the bills contain no dates indicating when the meetings were held, how long they lasted, or what hourly rate SEH is charging.
That seems unprofessional, but you can't really blame Simons. His job is to bring in money for his firm, and our board's hands-off attitude makes our town an easy billing target.
But there is some good news and we likely have citizen Gordon Awsumb to thank for it.
His run for chairman last year shined light on ethical problems regarding our town's road bids. It appears his presence now on the Town's Road Committee is helping to cut the waste of taxpayer money.
With Awsumb serving on that committee, SEH's bills have dropped from $58,000 in 2010 to $30,000 in 2011.
Thank you, Mr. Awsumb and Mrs. Bettendorf.

Does your build for the nexus 4 have the same issue?
bluetooth.default.so gets compiled from external/bluetooth/blue droid but I haven't made any changes from cyanogenmod's source in that repo and in the official nightlies BT seems to work fine. It could be some compiler flag, next time I'll try building without the -03 optimizations.

is it ok to wash a cape with dawn (to remove oil from hair) after applying liquitan.
Return to Tanning Category Menu
After liquitan has been on recommended time, towel dry flesh side. Use a blow dryer to hair side getting hair fairly dry. Roll up and freeze or go ahead and mount. Just did a large life size Mt Lion I harvested in Colorodo this way.
Thanks, That is what I have been doing. Read about washing lowering ph and hair falling out, so I started wondering if I was doing write.

Video from an interview Donald Trump gave the Fox Business Network in January shows that the Republican presidential front-runner warned about "something bad" going on in Belgium. A day after the interview, Trump was mocked by the New York Times for his comments.
The chilling prediction proved true after Tuesday morning's attacks on Brussels.
Referring to his proposed Muslim ban and strict immigration policy, Maria Bartiromo asked during the Jan. 26 interview if Trump thought his politics have alienated people. The GOP candidate denied this, describing himself as a "unifier" who "bring[s] people together."
"I tell the truth," Trump told Bartiromo. "Whether it was with respect to the Muslims … there's something going on. And we have a president that doesn't even want to talk about radical Islamic terrorism."
"There's something going on, Maria," he continued. "Go to Brussels, go to Paris, go to different places — there's something going on, and it's not good."
Trump said that in order to stop radical Islamic terror attacks, "there has to be assimilation" of Muslims seeking to practice Shariah law.
"You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago. So beautiful. Everything's so beautiful," he said. "It's like living in a hell hole right now. … There's something going on."
A day after the interview, the New York Times ran an article with the headline, "Donald Trump Finds New City to Insult: Brussels."
Tuesday's explosions, at least one likely caused by a suicide bomber, struck the Belgian capital's airport and subway system, prompting a lockdown in Brussels and heightened security across Europe. At least 31 people were reported dead Tuesday morning.
The attacks came four days after the final suspect in the November Paris attacks was arrested in Brussels.
Trump spoke with Fox Business Network Tuesday over the phone and repeated his warning:

Question 1
I'm using TGA images in OpenGL because they have an alpha channel, which makes it relatively easy for me to create texture-mapped sprites with transparent pixels.
Do any of you guys have an OpenGL TGA loader you're willing to share? I'm currently using NeHe's TGA loader in lesson 33. It works fine, but I'm wondering it anybody here thinks he has a more efficient/shorter version.
Question 2
Is there a way to achieve transparency effects with plain Windows bitmaps? I'd like to use them to texture-map a quad, with specific pixels left out. But bitmaps do not have an alpha channel so I can't use glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST) like I could when dealing with TGA.
I suppose I would have to use blending of some sorts with glEnable(GL_BLEND) but I'm not certain of the details. If anybody has accomplished this before, I would like to hear how they did it.

Competition & Antitrust Brazil
On March 28 2011 Vinicius Marques de Carvalho was nominated as the new head of the Secretariat of Economic Law (SDE). Carvalho is one of seven commissioners for the Administrative Counsel for Economic Defence (CADE) and his nomination has received a welcome response. It is hoped that his appointment will bring better communication between the SDE and CADE.
A close relationship between the SDE and CADE is more relevant now that Bill 6/09 has been approved by the Senate and is before the House of Representatives. One of the bill's most important proposals is the creation of the CADE General Bureau, which will assume most of the functions of the SDE and the Secretariat for Economic Monitoring.
According to the bill, the CADE General Bureau will be structured into two bodies that will cooperate closely: the Administrative Tribunal of Economic Defence, which will basically have the same functions as CADE has today, and the Directorate General, which will be in charge of conducting anti-competitive investigations and reviewing merger cases. The head and staff of the SDE will be transferred to the Directorate General.
It is vital for the enforcement of the new law that when the CADE General Bureau begins to operate, CADE and the SDE have a close understanding on antitrust policies.
In a meeting held by the Brazilian Competition Institute in February 2011, Carvalho highlighted a number of policies that he intends to implement at the SDE:
Carvalho's points of view were well received by the members of the Competition Institute.
The new legislation and policies will consolidate the advanced position that the Brazilian antitrust system holds among other jurisdictions in the Americas. In this context, Carvalho faces a huge task at his new office, but he has already set consistent guidelines to enable him to deliver results.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Energy Transfer, Kelcy Warren's mega-pipeline conglomerate, reported more than $1.1 billion in fourth quarter losses largely driven by an accounting loss on its LNG export project in Louisiana.
The cause and significance of the losses was not made clear Wednesday in a news release on the company's website. The company spokesman did not immediately respond to questions.
Energy Transfer is in the process of modifying its liquefied natural gas facility in Lake Charles, La., to export abroad after winning approval from the U.S. Dept. of Energy last year.
The conglomerate's larger pipeline and processing operations, split between Energy Transfer Partners and Energy Transfer Equity, performed better.
Energy Transfer Partners, the operational arm of the conglomerate, reported its much watched earnings before taxes and other deductions grew $38 million from a year ago to $986 million. And fourth quarter revenue increased 10 percent to $12 billion.
The company finished the year with $768 million in profits, compared to $1.6 billion a year ago.
Analysts had projected fourth quarter profits of 59 cents a unit, according to Yahoo Finance. The company reported a loss of $1.90 per unit.
The earnings reports were released after the close of the stock market. In after hours trading, Energy Transfer Partners stock was priced at $53.75 at 6 p.m. in New York, down less than 1 percent from the close.
Energy Transfer, one of the largest pipeline companies in the country, has expanded rapidly over the last decade. After profits fell following the decline of natural gas prices in 2010, the company moved to expand. In 2012 Energy Transfer purchased Philadelphia-based Sunoco for $5.3 billion.
Energy Transfer Equity, the financing arm of the company, reported fourth quarter revenues of $12.6 billion, up 12 percent from a year ago.
That company reported year-end profits of $315 million, down from $1.3 billion in 2012.
