COMPUTER firm Hewlett-Packard has reported a rise in profits and smaller-than-expected fall in net revenues.
The company, which has a base in Newcastle, said quarterly revenues of £16.9bn were down one per cent from a year earlier, for the three months to January 31.
The firm, which sponsors the shirts of Tottenham Hotspur, also reported rising net incomes and has raised its profit forecast.

Hewlett Packard is the world's largest maker of personal computers, but has seen demand for its desktop computers drop in recent years.
Meg Whitman, the firm's president, said: "The company is in a stronger position today than we've been in quite some time.
"The progress we're making is reflected in growth across several areas, the growing strength of our balance sheet, and the strong support we're receiving from customers and partners."

A good backpack plays an important role in the life of a geek. It's a catchall and a safe haven for gadgets. While we've looked at a very good traditional backpack once before, today we're going to look at one that is anything but traditional: the Solid Gray backpack.
It doesn't take an eagle-eye to notice that the Solid Gray is quite unlike other backpacks. In fact, the only similarity between the Solid Gray and a traditional backpack is that they both go on your back.Read More

In the wake of actual good news about the state of the economy, a new poll shows Barack Obama solidly leading Mitt Romney in a hypothetical election race.
While Romney edges closer to finally getting his inevitable party nomination, a significant majority of Americans polled indicated that the more they find out about the candidate, the less they like him. Maybe this has something to do with the dog thing? Meanwhile, the president's approval ratings are the highest they've been since the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Thus, Obama currently leads Romney fifty-two to forty-three percent among Americans, and fifty-one to forty-five percent among registered voters.
Well, this all sounds pretty positive for Obama. And only nine months left until the actual election! What could possibly go wrong?

Here are pictures of him climbing the bus and after he finished.
He also warmed up before the race. His own brand of warm up. Here is the video of that.
We are so proud of him! He wants to do more of these races. I just wish there were more for kids.

Recent feedback by a recent Shropshire bride and groom:
When we booked you for our wedding we'd read lots of excellent feedback on wedding forums and you far exceeded our expectations. So many of our guests have commented on how great you were and had to double-take when you were singing as they thought it was the pre-recorded music!
You made sure everything was perfect from the speeches to the first dance and we had such a fabulous day. Our pictures from the ceilidh dancing are so funny and the best memory for me is that the dance floor was full for the entire evening.
Thank you so much James, you're such a lovely person and a fantastic singer.
We'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for entertainment at their wedding as we couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Acid rain is formed when moisture in the air combines with nitrogen oxides and sulfurdioxide emitted by factories, power plants and vehicles that burn coal or petroleum products. In interaction with water vapor, these gases form sulfuric and nitric acids. Finally, these chemicals fall to the ground accompanying precipitation, forming acid rain.

Legal Question in Education Law in Mississippi
teach at a community college. One of my students typed a document under my name requesting permission to sit in on a class in a local high school. She said in the document that this observation was for an assignment in my class, although I had not assigned such a project. The letter read as if I had written it and included my name, title, and the name of my college at the bottom. Is this forgery? What are the legal ramifications, if any?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Forgery
There is clearly an intent to deceive. Whether it is a forgery is dependant on the statutes reading. Was it signed or did it just have your name?
There are other crimes which may also describe the circumstances here such as trespass, creating a false business record, attempted burglary, and Fraud to name a few off the top of my head.
The young woman involved has committed or attempted to commit a very serious felony. She could face jail or even prison time. I am sure there must be some administrative punishment coming her way. See what her background is and whether this was an abberant act or her usual way of doing business before you decide whether to press a charge. If it is the latter go to the police. If it was the former, try to find administrative ways to get her to acknowledge her behavior, apologize for it and find a proper way for her to be punished within the learning community. Criminal records should be reserved for criminals, not for stupid kids who have a brain freeze one day.
You will teach by your example. Good Luck Professor.

Size:  (not chosen)
Some of the best sea caves of the Great Lakes are located on the shorelines of the Apostle Islands. You will see caves like no other with arches and delicate chambers. During the winter one can see magnificent views of frozen waterfalls and chambers filled with icicles. The Mawikwe Sea Caves are accessible in the winter over ice or in the summer by boat or via the Mainland Lakeshore Trail. "Mawikwe" refers to "weeping woman". It relates to the fact that the bay was once referred to as "Mourning Squaw Bay" on early maps. The official renaming of Squaw Bay to Mawikwe Bay happened in 2007.
Geologically the Apostle Islands are a result of glaciers that once covered this region. They are originally part of the mainland at the edge of the fault which formed the depression to which the waters of Lake Superior collected. When the glaciers melted the water began to shape the islands. Over time, the waves from the waters of Lake Superior caused erosion that formed the islands resulting in sandy beaches, sandstone cliffs containing pillars, caves, and arches. The thinly bedded, easily eroded sandstones of the Devils Island Formation are the source of these sea caves, although the bedrock is very old, the features sculpted from the bedrock are products of recent erosion.
The Devils Island Formation began over one billion years ago where rivers carried sandy sediments from hills in what is now southern Minnesota to a basin where the Apostle Islands are now found. These rivers carried sediment that slowly filled the basin, forming a sand flat. The area was covered with many shallow ponds, some only a few inches deep, connected by shallow channels. Sand deposits were thinly-bedded, fine-grained, and extensively ripple marked. Much like the sands of a modern lake you will begin to discover similarities by examining the "layering" of the sand on the beach.
Why here?The Devils Island Sandstone are thinly bedded, much more so than the overlying Chequamegon or underlying Orienta sandstones. The thinner the layering and the weaker cemented sandstones erode much faster.
Control it?The process of shoreline erosion in this region is easiest to observe. The sea caves, landslide scars, and slumped/fallen trees are common both in the sandstone formations and the red bluffs. It may appear that the park should take action to prevent such erosion but you must realize that this process is a natural one of change through time. Erosion supplies the beaches with sand and provides unique opportunities to explore all the unique sandscapes.
"At about five in the evening we passed one of the most stupendous of God's works and arched wall extending some ways into the lake, supported by pillars perfect and beautiful bearing on it's summit trees of every size and of many kinds, evergreens entwining their roots in every crevice, mosses growing of every color, the whole enchantingly sublime."Florantha Sproat describing the cliffs and sea caves at Mawikwe Bay
– April 18, 1842

Erosional Features of the Apostle Islands Sea Caves:
When a number of reentrants join behind the face of a cliff to other nearby reentrants and leave behind pillars and arches. Usually a secondary stage of a stack formation.
These are narrow cracks in the rock and generally are vertical and found in sets that are parallel. The joints serve as zones of weakness that help waves erode more quickly along the joint faces and play a major role in shoreline erosion.
These are pillars of rock separated from the main island and are usually joint controlled
Where wave action erodes and undercuts the base of a cliff.
These are produced when a number of reentrants join behind the face of a cliff, leaving behind supporting pillars and arches. They develop most easily where the sand layers comprising a rock formation are very thin.
Access: Parking and trailhead access is available at the end of Meyers Beach Road; see "Additional Waypoints" below for coordinates.
***A fee is required to park***
- The Lakeshore Trail to the erosional feature is a 1.8 mile hike or snowshoe, one way.
- When walking along cliff tops remember that this is an eroding shoreline, and stay back from the edge.
- The trail passes through several ravines, some requiring stream crossings.
- Please stay on the trail.
- The trail follows the cliff tops and does NOT provide access into the sea caves.
- Boaters should avoid sea caves when conditions are rough.
- Get the marine weather forecast before leaving on your trip.
- Personal flotation devices (PFDs) should be worn.
- Kayakers should not visit the caves alone.
Winter- Do not take chances if ice conditions are unstable. Beware of cracks in the ice even on the coldest days. Carry an ice bar to test ice thickness.
- Sub-zero temperatures and bitter wind chills are common. Warm clothing is a must.
- Walking on ice can be extremely slippery- wear sturdy boots to prevent slipping.
- Watch out for falling ice and rock in and around the cliffs and caves.
- Please call the Ice Line at (715) 779-3397 extension 3 for the most current information on access to the Mainland Sea Caves.

Aggravated assault charges have been filed against a northern New Jersey woman who allegedly laced her boyfriend's dinner with cocaine.
Twenty-nine-year-old Monica L. Cookman of South Bound Brook also faces reckless endangerment and drug possession charges. She was being held Wednesday in the Somerset County Jail on $30,000 bail, and it was not known if she had retained a lawyer.
County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano says the victim told police that when he arrived home Friday, Cookman told him she was making him dinner. He initially declined, saying he wasn't hungry, but relented after Cookman insisted they eat together.
The victim said the food didn't taste right to him, and his throat soon went numb and his heart rate accelerated. He then reported the incident to South Bound Brook police.

1. What is a certified ceremony and why is it important?
Baylor commencement ceremonies are certified - that means that students who walk in the ceremony have completed all degree requirements and receive their diploma as they cross the stage. No student is allowed to walk unless they have met all degree requirements. The University makes no exceptions to this rule. Students who do not meet all degree requirements must complete the appropriate work in a future semester, after which they may participate in commencement.
2. Is there a rehearsal?
No rehearsal. Faculty marshals will be on hand to line up graduates by school/college, degree, major and last name and make sure they are in the correct order prior to each ceremony. Graduates must arrive no later than one hour before their ceremony start time.
3. Are tickets issued for seating?
No, tickets are not issued for attendance. For August and December ceremonies, there will be sufficient seats. For May, every effort is made to ensure the size of each ceremony will allow all guests to have seats.
4. If I am a graduate, what do I do?
Arrive, cap and gown in hand, no later than one hour before your ceremony is scheduled to begin. Ushers will direct graduates to the correct area of the concourse for line-up. Faculty marshals will be on hand to prepare graduates for the procession, answer questions and give instructions. Late-arriving students will not march in the procession but will be worked into the graduate line to receive diplomas.
5. If I am a parent or guest, what do I do?
Arrive early to allow sufficient time to get into Ferrell and find seats. Seats may be saved until 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony, at which time all seating is made available to guests. Be supportive and encouraging to your graduate as he/she walks the stage, but refrain from excessive noise and do not use noise-making devices.
6. Where do I get a cap and gown?
Academic regalia for bachelor and master's graduates will be available at Bear Faire. After that time, regalia may be purchased from the Baylor Bookstore. Bachelor's regalia is priced at $60 plus tax. Master's regalia is priced at $102 plus tax. The bookstore will sell gowns, mortarboards and tassels for bachelor graduates. The master's regalia will include the gown, hood, mortarboard and tassel. Doctoral students must contact the Graduate School office at 254-710-3588 to purchase or rent the unique Baylor regalia for the ceremony.
7. May I wear an honor cord or sash with my cap and gown? May I decorate my mortarboard?
Traditionally, only undergraduate students wear cords or sashes. Baylor will allow a student to wear a maximum of 3 adornments for the ceremony and they should represent academic achievement or involvement in an academic-specific organization. Students should not decorate their mortarboard. The green stole of appreciation, sold by the Baylor Bookstore, is optional.
8. Which ceremony do I attend?
For December 2017-the 9:30 am ceremony includes the graduates from the Schools of Engineering and Computer Science, Music, Education, Social Work and the College of Arts and Sciences.

9. What time do graduates and guests need to arrive?
The building opens 90 minutes prior to each ceremony. Graduates need to arrive no later than one hour before the start of the ceremony. We encourage friends and family to come at the same time as the graduate in order to find adequate parking and seating at Ferrell Center. Guests with disabilities or health concerns should plan to arrive at least an hour before the ceremony to allow sufficient time to park and be seated. For handicapped parking, guests should ask the parking attendant for curbside drop-off to assist those with special needs.
10. What about parking?
Parking is available at Ferrell Center Shuttle buses will bring parking garage guests to the venue. There is no charge for this service. Parking attendants will be available to direct you to parking. If there is a need for curb-side drop-off or handicap parking, please inform the parking attendant. As needed for May ceremonies, additional parking is available in the East Garage, located just a few blocks from the venue and serviced by shuttle rides to and from Ferrell Center.
11. How long will the commencement ceremony last?
The December 2017 ceremonies should be around two hours in length or less.
12. What other events are planned?

19. What is Ring Out?
Ring Out and the Passing of the Key is held each spring prior to May Commencement ceremonies. More information on the ceremony and how to register to participate is available at https://www.baylor.edu/student_life/index.php?id=86608.
The Ring Out Ceremony is an annual tradition at Baylor University and was first a part of Commencement activities in 1927 when the senior class was invited to participate. The symbolic ceremony signifies the passing of the guardianship of the Baylor spirit.
Historically, the ceremony has included primarily women. Graduating senior women, dressed in traditional graduation gowns, pass a chain of ivy to junior women wearing white. Forming a circle near the Baylor bells in Burleson Quadrangle (the smaller bell from Baylor's first campus at Independence, Texas and the larger bell from Waco University where Baylor now exists), the seniors pass the charge of leadership to the next graduating class.
Since 1946, the men of the senior and junior classes have participated in the Passing of the Key ceremony during Ring Out. Senior men are in graduation gowns and junior men are dressed in dark suits. A representative of the senior class, who has been designated the "Custodian" of the key to the box of relics buried under the Centennial monument in the center of Founders Pleasance, passes the key to a junior representative. As with Ring Out, the ceremony symbolizes the binding of classes in loyalty to the traditions of Baylor.
20. What about the Ring Ceremony?
The Ring Ceremony is for students who order their rings during Ring Week earlier in the semester, at which they will receive their ring. For Fall 2017, the Ring Ceremony will be November 29 at 5:30 pm in Waco Hall.

Advanced technology and mobile device automation are coming together to manage our homes — growing electronic systems in ways that even George Jetson could not imagine.
Who would've surmised even five years ago that home automation tools would have progressed so far to allow us to manage and view alarms, locks and timers directly from mobile devices? Advanced digital wireless systems are allowing more home owners to now use smartphones and tablets to choose heating and cooling levels, set security alarms and remotely view surveillance cameras on their property.
Experts suggest that this scenario is only going to get more prevalent. Many companies sell systems that automate your lights, integrate your home entertainment systems, electronically adjust motorized window blinds, adjust temperature controls and automate your home security. A decade ago, these systems were among the most expensive and difficult to install from B2B companies.
Today, technology companies are using mobile accessibility to not only entertain us on our tablets and smartphone devices, but to help us remotely manage our home security systems.
All of this comes to mind in light of Apple's launch of its smaller iPad Mini tablet. The new tablet is less costly, features a 7.9-inch screen, is 7.2 mm thin, and weighs under a pound. Apple touts that users can hold it in one hand, unlike the larger iPad which is commonly held with two hands. But even more exciting is the likelihood that the iPad Mini's reduced cost "…will almost certainly lead to a new boom in the proliferation of touch screens in the home," writes HDliving.com.
As HD notes, home touch screens were included as part of much larger home automation systems in the past. You would need to be within the home to use the touch screen to monitor, change and adjust home theatre systems, lighting, temperature levels and security controls. But costs were prohibitive for the average homeowner, and were out of reach for all but the upper wealthy classes.
But now, companies like Nest, Iris, LifeShield and others that run their products via touch screen capability from devices are helping transform the way people run mobile access security systems. From these devices, home owners can set up a home alarm, lighting and other security systems, all from remote access.
Here's a snapshot of some advanced technologies giving consumers new options available now:
And now, add Apple to the list that's helping to foster in a new way of monitoring home security systems. Having and using a US$330 gadget to run their automation systems without a huge install fee is a win-win for busy homeowners.
The possibilities are endless. With mobile connectivity, smartphone apps and a home security system, consider the possibilities for monitoring, engaging or disengaging various security system procedures.
By using smartphone or tablet apps, you can arm or disarm your security system as needed. For example, if a friend dropped by to return something to you, and you weren't at home, you could disarm your security system momentarily to let your friend in. Then, when he leaves, you can remotely setup the alarm again. Amazing, right?
Using codes via remote access on your tablet or smartphone can help monitor arrivals and departures at your home. If you have regular maintenance people coming on different days, you'll be able to know when they arrived and left according to mobile code access. In fact, homeowners can also use this access for monitoring vacation properties.
Some systems provide a constant internet feed to view scenes from your home's entrance, back doors and side views, depending on the camera setup. Most of these are set for real-time engagement.
What happens if your home security is compromised? With these advanced technologies, your phone or tablet will receive a message if a sensor is triggered. If your pool guy left the gate open and a dog wandered in, you'll be able to get notification on that. Homeowners can setup automatic texts for different circumstances. You can arrange to have the system setup for your different circle of visitors, including spouses, friends, neighbours and relatives who make up your support system.
Having a tablet or smartphone for home security systems allows you to check access to crime data for your neighborhood and surrounding areas. It's an opportunity for you to share details with friends and neighbors to help keep your neighborhood safe. Think of a homeowner as a high-tech watchdog.
Having the ability to monitor home security patterns via mobile access gives you the chance to review what's happened on a daily, weekly or monthly basis through system controls.
While George Jetson had robots to help around his castle in the sky, you can have your own personal robot in the palm of your hand, using smartphones, tablets and more to keep personal property secure and accessible.

Horrific new details have been released in a child abduction case in Jackson County, Ohio.
At a hearing on Friday, Zachary Dunn was arraigned on new charges including kidnapping, abduction, rape, gross sexual imposition, and felonious assault.
He pleaded not guilty.
A Jackson County Grand Jury indicted him on Thursday.
Dunn is accused of snatching the little girl from her home in Liberty Township in July. She was found 14 hours after she went missing; naked, bruised and crying more than six miles from her house.
Dunn faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole if he's convicted of these crimes
The victim's family did not attend the hearing. However, Dunn's family did.
His older brother, Eric, spoke to 13 News on his behalf. While Eric does not condone what his brother is accused of doing, he wants to wait until all of the evidence comes out before making a decision.
"May God help him if he did it, and may God help him if he didn't," he said.
Dunn asked the judge to lower his bond from $500,000. The judge denied his request.
In newly released documents, prosecutors call Dunn a sexually violent predator, something that's difficult for his family to accept.
"I don't think anybody is going to be convinced if it's their brother. We'll see when the evidence comes back and how it all turns out," Eric said.
Dunn was taken back to jail after the hearing. He could go to trial on or before Oct. 27, unless his defense requests a continuance.
After the victim was rescued, she was placed in foster care, along with her other siblings. No one in her family has been charged with any wrongdoing.

SPANISH-BORN Salustiano "Shorty" Sanchez, considered the world's oldest man, has died in Grand Island, New York. He was 112.
The M.J. Colucci and Sons funeral home says Sanchez, who was born in El Tejado de Bejar, Salamanca, Spain, died on Friday.
Guinness World Records certified Sanchez, a former coal miner who emigrated to Cuba and later the United States, as the world's oldest man on July 25 following the death on June 12 at the age of 116 of Japan's Jiroemon Kimura.
Japan's Misao Okawa, who is 115, was certified as the world's oldest woman on the same day.
Sanchez, who was born in 1901, emigrated at the age of 17 to Cuba, where he worked in the sugar industry before heading to the United States.
The Spaniard was processed at Ellis Island and ended up in Lynch, Kentucky, where he worked as a coal miner.
Sanchez moved to Niagara Falls, New York, in the early 1930s and married the love of his life, Pearl Chiasera, who died in 1988.
Shorty and Pearl had three children, who gave them seven grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

New York : The F.B.I. interviewed Democratic Party's presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as part of its investigation into whether she or her aides broke the law by corresponding through a private e-mail server set up for her use as Secretary of State in the Obama administration.
The voluntary interview, which lasted for three and a half hours at the F.B.I. headquarters in Washington, largely focused on the Justice Department's central question: Did the actions of Mrs. Clinton or her staff rise to the level of criminal mishandling of classified information?
It could take weeks or longer to reach a decision, but news that Clinton had been questioned quickly reverberated as the Republican National Committee called the step 'unprecedented,' reports the New York Post.
Her opponent in the presidential race, Donald J. Trump, tweeted " It is impossible for the FBI not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, What she did was wrong!"
After the interview with the F.B.I., Clinton said: "I've been eager to do it, and I was pleased to have the opportunity to assist the department in bringing its review to a conclusion."
Clinton has struggled with the allegations of mishandling 'classified' information.
The issue came to light last year during a Republican-led congressional investigation into the aftermath of the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. More than 30,000 e-mails have been made public since then.
Federal law deems it a crime to "knowingly" mishandle classified information outside secure government channels or to permit the practice through "gross negligence."
None of the e-mails on Clinton's private server were marked classified at the time they were sent or received, but the Central Intelligence Agency later determined that some contained material that would be considered "top secret." (ANI)

Want to add some pizzazz to your Google personalized home page? Google this week is offering six different themes that people can use to decorate their page. Google typically prefers simple, clean text-only pages for its sites, with the notable exception being the doodle on its main search page. With this announcement Google is recognizing that some people might want to add some some color to their personalized home pages.
The themes include a beach, cityscape, Japanese tea house, four seasons, sky and bus stop. They will change dynamically depending on the time of day and weather conditions. For example, the beach scene will show a sunrise or sunset that corresponds to the local times for them and characters in the bus stop theme will hold umbrellas if it is raining.

text: IHL or International Handgun Leather is an Arizona based company owned and operated by a very respectable gentlemen with 15+ years as a top competitive shooter (one of the original USPSA/IPSC Grand Masters) who makes his holsters based on what he thought was missing or needed some improvement in high quality concealment holsters. Visit his website for more info or to shop his beautiful holsters, gun-belts and accessories. This is a review of one of his finest IWB Holsters, the Praetorian. If you want to skip to the pictures they will be in the 2nd post, below is a detailed rundown of the holster's features and strengths. The Praetorian is basically an IWB (Inside Waist Band) holster with a single attachment point in the form of a double snap designed to go around a sturdy belt, preferably a gun -belt. The attachment point is angled and positioned under the heaviest part of the firearm (the magazine loaded grip). Because of this single attachment point and the placement of it under the heavy area it is only wearable in the area between 3 and six o' clock of one's belt, depending on preference. As a reminder, your zipper would be 12 o' clock and the center of you back would be 6 o' clock. There are several advantages to a holster specifically designed to ONLY be carried in this position, the biggest of which seems to be comfort. This holster holds tight against your body, stays put and feels like a part of you even when sitting in your car. This idea of sitting in your car comfortably may not be as obvious to all of you but since I own a Saturn Ion Redline which has 4 bucket seats designed to hug your body all around and be compatible with 5 point harness systems, this is a huge issue for me. I usually unholstered entirely when driving more than 5 mins, but now I don't even have to adjust the holster's position, it fits perfectly without pressing against my body to hard at any one point. Another benefit is consistency, the heavy magazine is fully supported so the holster doesn't want to twist under it's weight as the day goes on. Another benefit also seems to be concealability, this is by far the most concealable holster I have ever worn. I am a very skinny guy and the 5 o' clock position is the only position I have ever had any real success with concealment, though there have always been issues, but with the Praetorian it fits me perfectly, it holds the firearm at just the right angle to keep the grip from sticking out the back and simultaneously increases the ease of drawing and reholstering. Speaking of reholstering, this holster has a solid layer laminated between the 2 layers of leather which keeps the holster completely open for easy reholstering, even with a tight belt on. I found this to be a very welcome feature, but not one that I thought to hard about until I had it, in summary, IT IS AWESOME! A feature that is designed into many of the holsters you will find at IHL is replaceable belt snaps. The snaps on this holster can be unscrewed and replaced should they get worn out, scratched up or otherwise damaged. Putting design and function aside, this holster is beautiful and features better craftsmanship than a $200 custom holster I had recently ordered and returned. How about their customer service you ask, well, in my opinion, 2nd to none. I spoke with the owner himself every time I called, and he called me several times throughout the build process to let me know how it was going. When we had an unusually wet couple of days during the drying part of the process he called me just to let me know what had happened and that it might take a 2 or 3 days longer than he estimated. I met him in person in his show room before I even ordered and he took the time to listen to what I was looking for and explain which of his holster designs would work and how. When I came to pick it up, I think he was more excited to see me try it on than I was, though I was way more impressed and flat out blown away by the result. He even sat down with me and talked shop for longer than either of us would care to admit. I know one thing, this holster will never end up in the holster drawer and is only the first of many to be ordered and worn from this very talented company. Check out pictures of The Praetorian in the following posts.

Pawlenty will lead influential education organization
ST. PAUL (AP) - Governor Tim Pawlenty is taking the reins of another national group. This time, it's the Education Commission of the States.
Pawlenty will take over as chairman of the organization this summer, just as the Republican governor leaves his job as chairman of the National Governors Association.
Both organizations have rotating chairman positions between Democratic and Republican governors.
The Denver-based education commission was created as a nonprofit in 1965 to spur policy discussion and the exchange of education ideas among political and school leaders.
Pawlenty will hold the title until the summer of 2010, the final year of his current term as Minnesota's governor.

THUNDER BAY -- Keith Hobbs admits he is a "little disappointed" that Ontario is heading to the polls for a spring election.
The Thunder Bay mayor is concerned progress that had been made on Northern issues, specifically the Ring of Fire, might be lost depending on the outcomes of a provincial election.
The proposed budget from the minority Liberal government included a $1 billion commitment to develop the project.
"I'm a little disappointed," Hobbs said Friday , shortly after the announcement that Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath intends to trigger a vote.
"Things seemed to be going well with the Ring of Fire, especially with the framework with Matawa tribal council chiefs and the billion dollar commitment from the provincial government."
He also admitted he had been concerned about what would happen to the development after the pullout of Cliffs Natural Resources, but says the project appears to be back on track.
The mayor wants reassurance that Horwath and Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak will continue to make the mineral-rich area a priority.
"I'm totally worried about that. I'd like to see Ms. Horwath and Mr. Hudak commit to the Ring of Fire if there is an election and they win that the money will still remain and maybe more," Hobbs said.
He is also keeping an eye on the transportation debate in Southern Ontario and how it might impact the local Bombardier plant.
On the flip side, Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce president Charla Robinson believes an election campaign puts the region in a position of strength.
Even though the budget is set to be defeated, Robinson expects many of the components of it to become key pieces of the Liberal campaign platform.
With current premier Kathleen Wynne making clear how the Liberals plan to proceed on major issues such as Ring of Fire, the other parties will have their chance to provide alternative ideas.
"We know that a certain party has said they'll give a billion dollars, so what are the other parties going to commit to do?" Robinson said in an interview with CKPR Radio.
"Each party will be perhaps presenting different solutions so let's talk about those different solutions and what they think is the right way to go and then the electorate will decide. I think this is a positive position to be in, especially around the Ring of Fire. It's a good time for the leaders to put their money where their mouth is."
She also identified increasing energy costs as one other issue where she is looking to hear from Hudak and Horwath.

Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown | 2: The King of Chinatown Hitman: Absolution Guide
General assumptions: This subsection contains descriptions of all main ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown.
The most obvious way to eliminate the King of Chinatown is killing him while he stays in the fenced area. I definitely do not recommend this solution, because even if you use a gun with silencer or garrote, it is almost certain that you'll trigger an alarm and get the attention of all nearby policemen.
Far better idea is to kill the King of Chinatown in the side alley. If you play on Easy or Medium difficulty level, you just have to wait until two guards leave this area. If you play on higher difficulty level, you have to reckon with the fact that one guard permanently stays in the alley. So it would be good to get rid of this person earlier, stunning or killing him and then dropping the body into a container.
After the King of Chinatown stops in the side alley, make sure that he is not watched by anyone and only after that decide, how you want to get rid of him. Depending on your preferences you can use on him a garrote, a gun with silencer or shoot a chain of the platform above his head, leading to "an accident". Know, however, that the latter option will alert all nearby persons.
A few more ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown are associated with the use of explosives. Your target can be primarily killed by shooting one of the flammable tanks placed throughout the square. You can also find on the map a gasoline can, toss it near the fenced area and then detonate it with a shot.
Another possibility is to obtain remote explosives. These are located in a small weapon shed on the balcony near a luxury car belonging to the King of Chinatown. This place is guarded by a policeman (screen above), so you have to either distract him (by throwing a bottle for example) or wait until he starts a phone call. Then you can get him from behind with proper precautions.
After obtaining remote explosives, you can plant them in any location of your choice. The advantage of this method is that you can detonate them from a safe distance, thus reducing the risk of exposing Hitman.
Since we're talking about a side alley with a car of the King of Chinatown, parked there, an interesting option is activating a car alarm. It will force your target to go to this alley. Wait until the King of Chinatown approach the car and then shoot explosive barrels located behind the car.
A risky way of murdering the King of Chinatown is pushing him into a hole, specifically to into the one shown on the above screen (it is located near the booth at the other side of the square). You have to wait until the King of Chinatown approach the hole and push him (Interact key/button). Unfortunately, there is permanently at least one policeman in the area, so you have first to distract him or be aware of fighting him right after the main action.
The last of main ways of neutralizing the King of Chinatown is using a sniper rifle. This is unfortunately quite complicated process, because first you have to get to the apartment belonging to a dealer. A path leading to the proper building is located on the right of the fenced area and it is shown on the above screen. On lower difficulty levels, there is only one policeman stationing there, but on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter there at least three officers.
An access to dealer's apartment can be obtained in several different ways. If there is only one guard to be sneaked by, it is best to sabotage a right fuse box. Otherwise you might get Chicago policeman disguise (e.g. by eliminating a cop in the alley with the car) and then use Instinct to cover your face. You can also wear dealer disguise - a way to obtain it is described in the next subsection, associated with poisoning the King of Chinatown.
Regardless of your actions, after getting to the dealer's apartment, look around in search for Kazo TRG sniper rifle (should lie on the table). Then move to one of shutters (only the left one is open) and wait for the right moment to shoot.

Fox News has reported that donations from regions with high unemployment numbers have been directed towards the Obama campaign, although in smaller amounts.
According to an Associated Press analysis, Obama's fundraising in the second and third quarters of this year from areas with typically high unemployment are up from this time over the 2007 fundraising cycles, when candidate Barack Obama raised $81 million between April 1 and Sept. 30 as the country was barreling into a recession.Our elected representatives need to make laws preventing the Democrat party from funneling tax payer money in the form of welfare to the president.
While Obama reported this week his campaign and the Democratic Party raised a combined $70 million for his re-election bid this quarter -- more than the $21 million raised by Obama's campaign in the third quarter of 2007 -- similar fundraising totals for the GOP field point to growing support for candidates promising to change the country's direction.

Lot of MVP discs don't have proton plastic yet.
my midrange setup:
Neutron Tensor 166g (lightly used, windy days, low line full power shots and when i dont want turn over, its a beef stick with a workable fade for how HSS it is.. interesting disc)
Eclipse Vector 177g (fresh, for a nice stable flat top roc type flight)
Eclipse FR Vector 176g (beat, from first run of the eclipse vectors, its a dead straight laser with mild forward fade given a little anny it likes to hold it forever, my favorite and most used midrange disc)
Eclipse Tangent 172g (seasoned, developing some nice turn to it, started out very straight though around -0.5 HSS and 1.5 LSS, now its flying about -2 HSS and 1 LSS after throwing it all summer)
as eclipse stuff becomes available im sure my whole bag will be eclipse, it just looks great with the white over-mold to me.

Starting 2012 Off Right
While I interned for the campaign in Concord through the month of December, I logged many hours talking on the phone with voters throughout Merrimack County. I found that despite the difficulties that the country has faced in the past few years, many people are excited to support President Obama and to help him continue to put us back on the right track.
It is remarkable to be a part of an organization where everyone, no matter how much time they can contribute, is working towards a common goal of ensuring that the President is re-elected. One of the most satisfying experiences was attending house parties where volunteers were hosting phone banks. These were great opportunities for a diverse groups of volunteers to come together and discuss the issues that will define the 2012 campaign.
Working on a campaign is one thing, but meeting the people who sustain a campaign at the community level makes it an even more rewarding experience. So much was made of grassroots organizing in the success of President Obama's 2008 campaign, and we are laying that framework once again for 2012. To be a part of it, knowing that such work is the driving force behind the campaign, is an outstanding feeling.
I remember when President Obama was campaigning in the 2008 election and he asked voters if they were "fired up and ready to go." Certainly after becoming involved I am fired up and ready to go help President Obama win in 2012! It's crucial that we don't take anything for granted in the buildup to Election Day on November 6. Join us in starting 2012 off right by volunteering at a primary get out the vote event in your community this week.
The New Hampshire Primary is just over a week away. Join Andrew and other volunteers in letting supporters across the Granite State know that we can't wait to organize for 2012. Pledge to stand with President Obama in the primary and be sure to join us for a Get Out the Vote event in your neighborhood.

Neako ft. Shawn Chrystopher, Phil Adé, Yelawolf, Smoke DZA & Stalley - Suicide (Remix)
I've never had the patience to memorize whatever magical set of twists and turns solves the classic puzzle, but it's clear from the behavior of Rubik's Cube aficionados that the things are damned addictive – once it's unscrambled, you just have to re-scramble it and solve it again. Perhaps that explains why Neako's decided to drop another iteration of his Rubix Cube: Blue Edition mixtape, complete with seven brand new tracks. Whatever the case, if Suicide (Remix) is any indication, the project will be one dope retread. Backed by the artist's own gritty synth-bass boardwork and featuring guest bars from Inglewood favorite Shawn Chrystopher, DMV native Phil Adé, Trunk Muzik rapper Yelawolf, singer/emcee Smoke DZA and Booth newcomer Stalley, this revamp could hardly be said to have a weak link. If I were to pick a strong link, however, Yela would be it – just as he did on the most recent remix of Luda's How Low, the Alabama up-and-comer comes with enough furiously-flowed lyrical ammunition to blow a small army to pieces. Agree with my assessment? Disagree? Either way, those who like what they're hearing will want to keep it locked for the latest on The Rubix Cube: Blue.5 Edition.

Mazda 626 Troubles
The throttle plate tends to stick in it's bore from built up residue. Time to clean the throttle body out. Remove the air intake ducting, have someone hold the throttle wide open, and spray in a liberal amount of air intake cleaner (not carb cleaner). Scrub the throttle body bore and the back of the throttle plate with an old toothbrush, wipe out the residue with clean wipers, and you should be good to go.
kristywahoo1 Posts: 1I HAVE A 2002, WHICH NOW NEEDS A TRANSMISSION REBUILT!!!! I'm a complete wreck because of this disaster - i just got this car not even a year ago, and it's a newer model, nothing should be going wrong! i was wondering if you found out anything new on the subject matter since. I'm really upset about this, and i'm not paying this bill without a fight!
Have you tried calling Mazda customer service and asking them whether they'd be willing to split the cost? Manufacturers often will, as a "good faith" gesture.
dorsiainruins Posts: 2I have a 2000 Mazda 626 LX that I purchased in April of this year and I've been trying to diagnose my interior light problem. All the lights (dome and driver/passenger overhead lights) work fine if you manually turn them on, but when I open the doors, they don't automatically turn on. I've checked all fuses and they're fine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Have you checked the door switches. If they stick shut, the light will not come on when doors are open.
Sorry to hear that, but there is ton of information available on horrible history of 4 cyl Mazda 626 auto transmissions. It is a good idea to do a little research before buying a car with problematic history. A manual transmission would have been a far wiser choice in this car.
danyek Posts: 2I experienced this problem w/ my Dodge Caravan and went thru the entire deduction process. The culprit was a camshaft position sensor. Apparently the sensor was going bad. It was a $40 part and eblow grease on my part. No problems since the replacement. Good luck.
You think so? Well it's 3 aftermarket distributors now. The mechanic is going to try a new mazda distributor, or changing the crank sensor. I have no clue. It's frustrating. I've spent 4 days in a garage.
wmlove3 Posts: 1hey did you ever solve this problem? If so what did you do?
kirbydale Posts: 1I guess this is more of a radio problem as opposed to the car. I have a 2000 626 with the Bose 6-disc cd player. When trying to eject a disc the other day, it started flashing out and has not stopped.
I can use the radio and tape deck but not the CD player. Does anyone know how to reset it or remove the face and manually remove the cd?
Hi Alcan, your fix worked a treat. I am now unstuck in the morning. Cheers.
However, my Mazda has suddenly developed another illness which is a pain in the rear. It's now 'coughing and spluttering' when I drive. I thought it may have been related to the sticky pedal, so i gave the throttle body bore and plate a good clean. Well, it fixed the pedal issue but the coughing wasn't resolved. I've narrowed it down to when i press the gas pedal quickly it struggles, there is no power and the whole car shakes. If I accelerate slowly and gently, its better. Its also terrible up a hill. I'm now desperate, huge lorries are overtaking me on the motorway! Please help!!!!! Thanks. :sick:
If this condition developed right after cleaning the throttle body, take a good look at the air intake ducting and make sure there are no cracks or splits between the airflow sensor and the throttle body which could allow unmetered air to enter the engine. Mazda's can be bad for that and it would cause the engine to run lean, giving the symptoms you describe.
Hi. Its strange actually, the problem happened before cleaning the throttle body, which is what prompted me to clean it. Looking through previous postings, I decided to clean the MAF. this had a major difference, but it still has the occasional 'cough' whilst driving. I also noticed that one of the HT leads was wet with water (1st from the right). The air filter is also quite dirty but was only replaced 2 and half months ago. I'll check the air intake ducting to make sure there are no cracks. Many thanks for you help by the way.
I think my lovely mazda has become a pensioner!......
svanda Posts: 1The transmission Shift of my 1991 Mazda 626 is stuck on parking. It wont budge. I thought that maybe the lock [hold] was on but it is not. Can't find my car manual to see how I can fix it. Any help?
I just purchased a 1995 Mazda 626 (ES). The brake indicator light on the dash stays on at all times. There does not appear to be any problems with the brake system and the car dealer claims that the car sat around on the lot for a long time and that is the reason (???). Any ideas? Thanks. I really appreciate any help.
slickdog Posts: 225Maybe if some of the brake fluid leaked out! The fact that the car sat on the lot for a long time is a really poor reason for not looking into the problem if that's what they're trying to do.
Low pressure in the brake lines can cause the warning light to come on, which could be a result of fluid leakage.
A problem with the warning light switch for the parking brake handle/pedal could also be the cause.
If you just purchased the car then I think it would be reasonable to expect the dealer to look into this. You can't be too careful with brakes.
Thanks for your reply. I did ask the dealer (a used car dealer, you know how they can be) about this problem, but he said this was an "as is" deal and said that I would have to pay extra for an inspection and any subsequent repair. He basically just danced around the problem by saying that the car had sat on the lot for a long period of time. But, thank you so much for giving me something to go on here because I am clueless when it comes to cars.
I actually have fixed the problem. So, first new distributor not from mazda, and second a new crank sensor. Car runs beautifully. A little sluggish pick up, but I'm guessing that's due to the age of the car.
brod Posts: 1I've been looking/researching ALL day to attempt to make a wise decision. We are looking at a neighbors 1994 626 V6 at with 150,000 on it. I don't know if the trans has ever been replaced but I would like to know of individual owners experience overall, and seek input in order to make up my mind. She is only charging $800. Someone did hit the rear driver door but other that that the car is in good shape. Thanks for the help.
I love my Mazda but its been giving me trouble for the past year. When i bought it it only had 16,000 miles, which is great for an 88. It has around 60,000 now. The first thing that had to be fixed was the gas tank, which me and my Dad replaced. Then it did fine for awhile, and then the tires and brakes. Then it just started to lose its power. When i first got it it drove like a dream, and now it will barely make it to town and back without overheating. When i push on the gas it just has no power, and the whole car jerks and shakes bad.I changed the spark plugs and wires and it sounds a little better. About 3 months ago my oil light came on and it was very low, so i took it in and they changed the oil , about 2 weeks later the oil light came on again. It was dry so i put oil in and it would run out in about 2 days. A friend then replaced a part that oil was coming out of and it quit leaking but still runs bad. I think it running low for so long has caused problems, but i don't trust the mechanics around here, so i wanted some advice. please help,Crystal
Remove the air intake ducting between the airflow meter and the throttle body, and check it for any cracks or other damage that would allow unmetered air to enter the engine. Also, is the check engine light on?
dphatmon Posts: 3I have purchased a used 1997 Mazda 626 DX a couple of weeks ago. It has a four cylinder engine. The car was in bood shape and rides fairly well. I have started to have stalling problems in low idle while sitting at a traffic light or making a slow turn. This weekend I have paid the Mazda dealer $300.00 to clean my fuel injectors, induction system, and increase the idle speed adjustment, but this still has not resolved my problem. Mazda told me this morning that I had a loose number 4 spark plug that was not getting full compression since it was loose. When I received the car this evening it was a lot smoother and not stalling, but a few moments ago, the car stalled again at a traffic light. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? The car is in good shape, but it continues to stall at low idle speed. I know it is something simple to fix, but I am becoming frustated by this situation. Help please!
Thanks, that hasn't been checked yet. No the engine light hasn't came on. I've been driving it cause i have no choice right now, but it sounds terrible and when i get to about 40 it just rattles and shakes. When im sitting at a stoplight its bad and i have to slam it to get it to go. Im broke right now so if theres anything i can figure out myself it would help. :sick: .
ryantatum20 Posts: 1Hi,
There is a resistor located under the passenger side dash. You'll have to unscrew two screws to get to it after you drop the kick panel. It's rectangle in shape and once you pull it out of the vent you'll see coils on the top of it.
It's about a $60 part that comes from Mazda service.
Hi, many thanks for your reply.
i did as you suggested and pulled out the resistor. On my model it is a black plastic housing with what looks like a silver credit card attached to it. There are no coils on it?
I live in the UK. Could this be why it is different from your suggestion?
I wish everyone to stand up against Mazda, get all your reciepts for your gearboxes you payed for - including mine, and post them to Mazda Corp. for complete refund. Fancy stuffing up so bad on a gearbox thats so electronically reliant that they can get away with sumthing like this without even recalling all the cars to be fixed or replaced with new 1s,Mazda ? , you have totally destroyed any confidence in your cars that i have - had. Zooom Zooom, cough cough, splatter platter. Peice of junk, parts are expensive, unreliable etc.
I read in a website once when i was looking for a problem with , "Harsh Gearchanging" for my Mazda 626 93'. It said, "If your walking up the street and a mazda automatic is on your side of the road, then cross to the other side. Do not buy an automatic mazda between the years of 92' - 96'. do not except a ride in one." One month later, i pulld outfrom the curb and was cruising up the hill (slight hill) and all of a sudden, i noticed the "HOLD: light on the dash came on, the revs started to increase and the car started slowing. All my worries happened at that second. Cut a long story short, a second hand gearbox for $750 AUD. Its not exactly good either, it slides into gears with cosiderable delay, like slipping. This apparently is normal, it makes a sort of grinding noise every now and then when shifting in2 fourth. I've had enuf, its gooooooone. Rough idling ? yeah doing that too. TRied the electronic tune up, no good. tried cleaning the throttle body sensor, no good. Next step is, cut my losses , get rid of it and - Not buy a Mazda. Sorry guys ( & girls), dont mean to sound negative but i tell ya for me, Mazdas and Mitsubishi's can please them selves. Ive been building hot cars sinse i learnt to drive a manual at the tender age of 12. I've turbo'd them , nitrous oxided them, changed engines rebuilt them and made cars and bikes a small part of my learning life. I know when theres a problem, when sumthings just not rite, and Mazda have just given themselves such a bad name for these cars. Problem is, Mazda are being arrogant and ignorant to all the consumers that have payed a lot of money for one of their products that are guerenteed to fail prematurily - or how ever you spell it, lol. Happy days people. This Aussie is going to settle for the good o'l local market. A Holden car (Aussie made), North South engine with a tail shaft and diff, 5 speed "manual" trannie, minimal electronics, and just as comfy if not more so than that bloody mazda im about to say good by too, all the best folks.
cathyg Posts: 1I purchased a used 1997 626 on Friday. While driving it home the O/D off started to flash and it was shifting hard, I thought I had done something, not to sure about O/D switches. After letting the car sit for a few mins turned off, the flashing light went off. The next morning while on the Hwy. the engine light and the O/D off light started flashing, shifting hard and smoke coming out from under the hood. I looked under the hood and something was leaking out of the motor on the side.
I took the car back to the dealership right away. He will take it to his mechanic on Monday to find out what is going on.
I am in Ontario, do I have a right to ask for a refund? I did get a warranty for engine/tranny unlimited kms. but it won't cover anything that happens 500 kms or 15 days within purchasing the car, states it is a pre-existing condition.
What legal rights do I have? I am not sure I want the car even if its fixed now, I don't know that I will trust it in the future.
xeros Posts: 2my automatic '90 DX has a similar problem. I just have to let it roll for a second before I try to accelerate. As for slow turns, I have done what I mentioned or floor the pedal. Flooring it won't seem to respond imediately, but if you don't let up, it should respond after 5-7 seconds. Both have worked for me a few times. If this helps at all, it is proof that there has been little improvement in seven years of producing these vehicles. :P
mazda626atx Posts: 227Hi Guys I just got back to USA from Greece and it was too hot to even think of working on my wifes car while I was there. Alcan and Mr shiftright if you remember the troubles I was having with the CEL and drawing code 159 MAF .I looked at the air filter box for cracks briefly and saw that the passenger side towards the front of car filter box is not completely closed. I can see the orange filter housing. Does anyone have the same year 1994 4 cylinder car w/atx and is that normal? I know Alcan you say a lot of times the intake housing has cracks and is taking in more air than it shoud. Could this be the reason. Also I have a dramatic loss of power in the mountainous ranges in Greece where the air is thinner to begin with> Also yesterday on the way to airport car was shuddering a little ataround 65 MPOH and higher . I will be going back to Greec in 6 weeks and would like to know what parts to take with me

Canines often have to cool their four heels while their people go and play at charity events that help animals in need, but Saturday, Sept. 8, they can get out and jog with their two-footed friends while helping raise funds for their own species.
The third-annual Doggie Dash will welcome humans and dogs to Eagle Island State Park for a 5K fun run. The event is presented by Run Fido Run, a nonprofit organization that holds fund-raising events for local animal welfare organizations.
According to the event's website, approximately $4,000 was raised last year and donated to organizations including 2nd Chance Animal Shelter, Meridian Valley Humane Society, MCPAWS Regional Animal Shelter and Idaho Black Bear Rehab.
Participants can bring their families (including their pet) to the park for a sort of four-legged race. Running with a canine is optional and all dogs must remain leashed at all times. It's suggested that aggressive dogs, those younger than 6 months and female dogs not participate. And don't forget bags for "goodies."
Registration can be done online through Thursday, Sept. 6, at the packet pick-up Saturday, Sept. 7, at Shu's Idaho Running Company or at the park from 9-9:45 a.m. on race day.
A veritable ton of prizes will be raffled off as well, including tickets to Idaho Steelheads games, Roaring Springs and The Flicks, Bogus Basin lift passes, pet goodies and oh so much more. Preview the carefully wrapped gift baskets at the website.

Track Superintendent Barajas Leaving Arlington
Arlington Park President Roy Arnold announced that longtime track superintendent Javier Barajas is leaving Arlington to accept a position with the Dubai Racing Club.
"Javier's care in the maintenance of Arlington Park's turf course is a pivotal reason it has long been hailed as one of the world's best and we will miss him," Arnold said. "He also played a prime role in the successful installation of our Polytrack synthetic surface in 2007. Based on the reputation he earned during his many years as track superintendent at Arlington, we know Javier will rise to the challenges presented by his new role with the Dubai Racing Club and we wish him well."
"I cannot express how much an honor it was to work at Arlington Park for a man like (Arlington Chairman Emeritus) Mr. Richard Duchossois, who is completely dedicated to horse racing and whose love for Arlington Park is unmatched," Barajas said. "I also enjoyed working with Mr. Bill Thayer, who hired me to work on the track crew in June of 1976. He's been like a second father to me.
"I have a lot of respect for the Illinois horsemen and I will miss working with them on a daily basis," he concluded.
Since joining Arlington Park in 1976, Barajas has worked in a number of capacities on the track and turf crew, becoming track superintendent in 1996.
Arlington Park has launched a search for a successor to Barajas, who will return to Arlington for several weeks in April to help prepare both the synthetic main track as well as the turf course for the upcoming season in the weeks leading up to the May 1 opener.
