Three years ago, Gates Four homeowners offered Fayetteville officials an olive branch over its lawsuit against forced annexation.
The lawyer for the Gates Four Homeowners Association proposed a settlement: The gated community of about 1,600 residents in western Cumberland County would agree to allow annexation in July 2011, without any more protest, according to newly released city documents.
The proposed settlement would have delayed the annexation's original effective date of November 2009 by 19 months.
But the majority of the City Council at that time rejected the offer, according to minutes of an Aug. 3, 2009, closed session.
"The overwhelming response was that council was not interested in settling and preferred to go forward with the litigation," the minutes said.
Although the city won a court battle, it eventually lost its fight when the General Assembly passed legislation in May 2012 that de-annexed Gates Four from Fayetteville and barred the city from attempting again for 12 years. The legislation also gave residents statewide the power to fight off involuntary annexation by vote.
The City Council voted last week to release the minutes of closed sessions held to discuss two Gates Four lawsuits from 2004 and 2008. The Fayetteville Observer requested the information under the N.C. Open Meetings Law.
The minutes mostly offer a general account of what was discussed, and the documents don't report the council vote breakdown from the Aug. 3, 2009, meeting.
Ted Mohn, who was on the council then, said he and members Bill Crisp and Keith Bates favored accepting the settlement by Gates Four.
But most on the council, Mohn said, believed Gates Four had agreed to be annexed in the future as part of a 2004 settlement - a contention disputed by the homeowners association.
"They wanted Gates Four into the city because of the tax value of the homes," Mohn said this week.
The city had estimated reaping a net $2.6 million over five years with Gates Four annexed.
Mike Molin, a Gates Four spokesman, said the homeowners association was willing to drop its lawsuit if the city had been willing to delay annexation by almost two years.
"We felt like we were probably going to lose our appeal," Molin said Monday. "And we knew if we played this thing out, it would probably take at least one more year."
In October 2008, the council voted 7-3 to annex the neighborhood, which has about 650 residences, an 18-hole golf course and a country club. The homeowners association sued in December 2008, arguing the city failed to meet the statutory requirements to annex.
In 2011, the Republican-led General Assembly passed a law that allowed property owners - not just voters or residents - the ability to petition out of forced annexations. The legislation included Gates Four and involuntarily annexed areas in other North Carolina cities.
Five cities sued the state over the petition process.
On Nov. 28, 2011, the Fayetteville City Council voted 6-4 in a closed meeting to join the other cities in challenging the state law. The vote breakdown was never made public until the minutes were released.
Voting in favor to challenge the state were Jim Arp, Bobby Hurst, Kady-Ann Davy, Robert Massey, Val Applewhite and D.J. Haire.
Voting against were Mayor Tony Chavonne, Crisp, Bates and Mohn.
A few days before Christmas 2011, the state Senate Republican leader Phil Berger wrote a letter warning Fayetteville and five other cities to back off on challenging the state over its annexation reform law that year.
In a Jan. 9, 2012, closed meeting, Arp and newly elected Councilman Wade Fowler "expressed concerns about continuing litigation based on Senator Berger's letter."
According to the minutes, City Attorney Karen McDonald told the council it was too late to stop the lawsuit against the state.
In March of this year, a Wake County Superior Court judge struck down the petition process, and the General Assembly swiftly passed new legislation that restricted forced annexations and de-annexed Gates Four.
When the state dropped its appeal of the March decision, the Fayetteville City Council no longer had a reason to withhold from the public the minutes from its closed meetings.
As of November, the city had spent more than $190,000 defending the annexation in court since the 2008 lawsuit. The city had hired the law firm of Parker Poe and Adams of Charlotte. A more recent cost update from the city attorney's office was not available this week.
The city's first attempt to take in Gates Four was in 2003, when the neighborhood was part of the larger "big bang" plan to add about 43,000 residents to Fayetteville.
Gates Four sued in 2004, and the council approved a settlement in which the city agreed to drop Gates Four from the plan. The city also agreed not to initiate any involuntary annexation proceedings before June 30, 2008, with an effective date no sooner than June 30, 2009.

New Analysis: GOP Ginned Up Fake Budget Crisis to Undercut Jobs, Schools
Republican legislators conspired to gin up a fake budget crisis to undercut jobs, public school classrooms, and seniors. A new analysis by Tax Analyst [pdf], out this week, spells out the whole debacle in detail. Here's what went down.
Exactly one month before the 2010 election, the GOP legislature's economic forecaster predicted a $400 million dollar budget deficit.
Even though Governor Schweitzer and his budget director explained why the prediction was inaccurate, the GOP refrain "$400 million dollar budget deficit" was parroted by the media. Recall that the Billings Gazette sent out a questionnaire to every candidate asking what cuts they will propose to the budget to make up for the supposed $400 dollar deficit?
Legislative fiscal analysts predict that by June 30, 2013, there will be a $366 million state budget deficit with no money in reserve. How specifically would you balance the budget? What specific government services are you prepared to cut, by millions of dollars if necessary, and which government services would you preserve?
Then, by repeatedly feeding the "we're bankrupt" lie to the electorate, TEA Party republicans rode the wave of fear and paranoia into state legislative office, claiming they were needed to help combat the supposed budget crisis.
The Governor again called it a fantasy, but the fraud continued. The legislature claimed that the drastic cuts they made to those hardest hit by the recession (seniors, veterans, school children and the disabled) were made necessary by a $400 million dollar deficit that wasn't real.
As soon as the legislative session was over, the legislative staff admitted that their numbers were (badly) off. They claimed to be "surprised" by how wrong they had been, the Tax Analyst analysis explains. State Senator Ron Erickson (D) gave a scathing response, saying he and other Dems weren't surprised, as the Governor had been saying that the deficit prediction was wrong from the beginning.
Montana has $300-400 million dollars left in the bank that could have been used to create jobs, to help the needy and to make sure school kids have a bright future. Now, GOP gubernatorial candidates are trying to continue the deception to bring about their own elections. They, too, will claim a spending crisis and the need for immediate budget cuts. This time, however, the GOP's record of deceiving the public for political gain will stand in their way.

I would like to say an enormous heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone for voting for me in the Women Inspiring Women National Awards! As you know, I was nominated, then shortlisted for 'Woman's Advocate /Role Model Award' and on Saturday night, I travelled up to the Crown Plaza, Birmingham NEC for a night of sparkle and celebration. What a night!
As the names and photographs of shortlisted ladies were flashed up on the big screen, I could feel the energy and wonder rising in the room. There were cheers, clapping and anticipation… When it came to the category I was shortlisted for, I watched the names flash up of those who I admire so much – and then the gold envelope was opened "And the award goes to…." "Ali Soleil!" I couldn't believe it! I was shocked and elated at the same time! As I walked to the stage and climbed the steps I thought in true Oscar's style "Oh no! I'm going to cry!" I didn't though. Phew! Funny now, looking back a few days later but I was so overwhelmed and feeling a deep sense of gratitude for all the support I'd received. The journey hasn't always been so smooth.
I remember just less than a year and a half ago, sitting on the edge of a wall with my partner, looking out across the sea to St Michaels Mount in Cornwall, wondering if and when my business was going to take off. It was a struggle and a seed of doubt had crept in and was festering and growing. Was I going to make it? You see my business is my passion, it's part of who I am. Have you ever felt like this? The thought of giving up on my dream wasn't appealing and looking for a fulfilling job just didn't seem an option. It's funny how it's so often said that you get the 'break-down before the break-through' because it is so true. It's all most like a divine test, to see if you're committed to your purpose, if you can hold your nerve – and fortunately I did. Even though the seed of doubt had crept in, I still had faith it would work out and decided to get out of doubt and back into purpose. Serving women in their greatness is my passion, what's yours?
Since sitting on the wall and making that decision, my business has grown fast – and so have I! Getting out of my comfort zone and giving talks, making videos, setting up Fab Friends Network, starting a second group, working with clients individually and also in my higher level mentoring group. It's been hard at times, just like 'growing pains' but overall a joyful experience – because my passion is supporting women to step into their truth, know their passions in life, discover their purpose – and often to support them to monetise this in an expansive and fabulous business. I guess, just as I have done for myself. There have been some huge mind shifts along the way, some big blocks have now thankfully gone, some new clarity gained.
And this has been a very special year so far, and I am so hugely grateful for all the support, belief and love that I've received from so many including my partner, clients, friends and family, my mentor Carly Hope and to Lucie Bradbury and the fabulous team behind Women Inspiring Women National Awards. So a really big thank you to you all.
And if you're still sat on 'your wall' wondering, dig a little deeper, how committed are you to your desire? Banish doubt and get on purpose. Does it feel like your souls mission? If it is, breathe, get ready for the inner calling, be ready to receive the bursts of inspiration that you will come from your souls divine source, hear them and take the inspired action and a giant leap of faith. The world needs beautiful YOU!
Love and sunshine

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a Los Osos woman as the result of a possible suicide pact, according to Commander Brian Hascall.
Gewynn Taylor, 81, was found dead in a vehicle in Montana De Oro State Park Monday night. Her husband, George Taylor, 86, was treated for non life-threatening injuries and arrested on suspicion of homicide. An autopsy on Gewynn Taylor will be conducted on Thursday.
According to a good friend of the Taylors, the couple has lived in the area for more than 30 years. The friend says George is a retired firefighter.

Are You Tanorexic?
May 4, 2012 Leave a Comment
Tanning addiction is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical or psychological addiction to sunbathing or the use of tanning beds.
Serious cases of tanorexia can be considered dangerous because many of the more popular methods of tanning (such as those mentioned above) require prolonged exposure to UV radiation, which is known to be a cause of many negative side effects, including skin cancer!

From OESF
Using SDHC with Sharp/Cacko ROMs
- The original Sharp ROM can only mount a 1GB SD card and will not mount SDHC; the Zaurus SL-C3200 came with a driver that could handle up to 4GB SD cards - this driver can also be used with the 3000 and 3100.
- There is a sdmmc module for the Cacko ROM that will allow larger SD cards to be used, but not SDHC.
- C-guys developed a SDIO driver that allowed 2GB SD cards to be used with the Sharp ROM. The scripts to automatically mount the device required some editing and even then cards needed. OESF Discussion
The Sharp driver can be found on the ROM at /lib/modules.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o (depending on which ROM you are using).
SDHC Driver
bucchi has developed a SDHC driver to use cards of upto 32GB for all Zaurus. It patches the standard Sharp driver so the ROM must be reverted to the original state for the install to be successful.
The driver is in an ipk file to installation is performed by simply tapping the icon.
Enhanced Audio Driver
Andre Beckedorf (evilJazz on OESF) has made an enhanced audio driver for the Wolfson WM8750 that is on the Zaurus SL-C1000 and SL-C3X00 models. You need to install a special kernel in order to use it. (OESF Discussion)

I think, after extensively looking around the internet for wrought iron crystal chandeliers, that if you are looking for a big bang for only a few bucks this is a great purchase. It is not, however, a high quality piece of lighting. When I opened the box, the leaves and bobeches were bent and more than half of the crystals had easily visible defects. They also have very little light refraction or sparkle (rainbow effect). What I can say is that once the crystals are hung, in whatever design you choose they make a very impressive piece (there is an endless opportunity for fun creativity here, because they give you extra crystals and lots of places on the chandelier on which to attach them). I wish there was a place to upload a picture of the finished product, because it came out nicer than the version online. It's the extra crystals...use them! And I would also suggest using 15 watt bulbs. When I used the 25watts on the 12 lights...it was waaaay too much. All you could see was light bulbs. With the 15watts, the focus is back on the graceful lines of the chandelier and the modest light refraction of the crystals. Obviously the assembly was a bit of a hassle... you first attach all the arms to the center post, then you must wire all the arms to each other BEFORE you wire it to the ceiling. I went into a home improvement store, with the thing half assembled and begged for a lesson on wiring. I got lucky and the guy said, "Just go shop around and I'll wire it all together for you." Such a nice guy. After all is said and done, it was more work than expected, but I knew (from reading reviews) what I was getting myself into, and I think the end result was definitely worth the money.
Although this chandelier came packaged in 9 million parts the end result is really stunning. It looks like a much more expensive fixture. Well worth the money.
This chandelier was not difficult to assemble. I am a woman in my 40's and I was able to assemble this light in under 30 minutes. Hang the crystals after the light is assembled and installed. The light fixture itself is black. There is a metallic finish to it, but is not noticeable at a distance. A person could spray this another color if they wish. There are many beautiful, high quality spray paints once can purchase if they wish for another colored finish. We did not prefer the white candle sticks, so I sprayed them a silver metallic finish and it goes fantastically with our decor. We love to mix high end pieces with lower priced pieces and the result is amazing. The chandelier looks like it cost much more than we paid for it. I wish this site would allow us to upload pictures because I'm certain my photos would sell many for them! Please use 25 watt bulbs and so install dimmer. A dimmer takes it to a whole new level!
This is a big beautiful chandelier! I have wanted one for quite a while but everything I liked was well over a thousand dollars. I came across this one and decided that I would try it. Beware - there is A LOT of assembly required. The metal arms are not even connected. My husband assembled the structure/base part in about an hour and a half, and he's very handy. Took another 30 minutes to hang it, and then it took about 2 hours to hang all of the crystals. Every single crystal is a separate piece...this is a time consuming project. Instructions are awful. You basically need to print the picture and use it as a pattern but you can really arrange the crystals however you'd like. The connection pieces are a bit flimsy so you'll need to be careful when you're dusting this fixture. The end result is beautiful. The crystals sparkle and they are large. I didn't care for the flat black paint on the metal so I took bronze craft paint and a sponge paint brush and very lightly brushed it over the metal (before hanging the crystals). It looks SO much better! This is really a gorgeous fixture for the money...looks like it cost much, much more!
Contrary to many, I thought the product was very easy to assemble. You'll do best if you lay our all the parts by category. Make sure you have a ratchet wrench that fits the large-headed screws. Should take about 30 minutes. This is not a high end chandelier. If you want heavy wrought iron or leaded crystal, you will have to pay north of $1000. This was perfect for me, though. It is going in a vacation home with a high ceiling, and it is difficult to discern the "quality" from that height. I'm sure these Chinese made products cost about $50 to make, but you are unlikely to find a better deal.
We bought this chandelier for our dining room and were very happy with the product. It looks so much more beautiful than the pictures show. Assembly was very easy too.
This chandelier gives you a big bang for your money. Looks like it is very expensive. My husband had to purchase a longer chain and spraypainted it black, which was no issue. It took him about 2 hours to set up after the electrical installation. Would recommend.
It came out really fancy... crystal quality is so so... but look at the price... but the color and finish of chandelier really cover up crystal quality.... five thumbs up
Took a couple hours to put together but definitely worth it! Big and chunky.... it looks great in my master bedroom alcove. Lots of crystals. Everyone who sees it absolutely loves it. It certainly says "look at me". Going to put it on a dimmer switch soon.
I was very concerned when I took all the parts out of the box. I had to hire someone to help me put the product together and hang the chandelier on my cathedral ceiling. When it was all put together it was absolutely gorgeous. If you really want to make a statement in your dinning room buy this chandelier. The only negative thing I could say is the manufacturer does not give enough chain to hang from cathedral ceilings. The crystals are not plastic and there is nothing cheaply made on this fixture. This is my first time buying a product off of overstock.com and I am very happy I did buy this chandelier.

Dothan, AL - Wallace Community College leaders are trying to create interest for math and science among high school students.
About 850 teens were on campus to compete in the Tri-State Math and Computer Science Olympiad Friday.
They competed in different divisions from Algebra and Geometry to Computer Literacy and Microcomputer applications.
Winners received trophies, and some were even awarded scholarships.
"We do this to stimulate interest in mathematics and computer science, and also as a recruiting tool to hopefully get some students to come to Wallace and major in those things and transfer them," said Wallace Community College Computer Information Science Director Lisa Sanders.
This was the 31st annual Olympiad.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of RI Opens Retail Store
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island has opened its first retail location in Warwick, another sign of the shifting health insurance business landscape.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island head Peter Andruszkiewicz snipped the blue ribbon with a giant pair of scissors, officially opening the insurer's new store in a strip mall in Warwick. Consumers can walk in and buy a health plan, directly from Blue Cross or through the state's new online exchange. They can also buy Medicare plans, or just get their questions answered. He says it's not the first retail store in the country, but it's among the first. And that's a sign of what the Affordable Care Act is bringing: millions of new customers, shopping for an insurance plan they'll need to have come January first.
"The health insurance business is becoming a retail business," said Andruszkiewicz. "For the 75 years that Blue Cross Blue Shield has been in existence, and for the 30 years that I've been in the health insurance business, we've always sold through employers. We've sold through employers, through third parties, brokers and consultants. And that system has worked reasonably well, but the world is changing."
Andruszkiewicz says the insurer will likely open more retail outlets in Rhode Island. He says the health plans available for sale on the health exchange and in the store are the same. But people who may qualify for a subsidy to buy one of those plans must go through the exchange.

4- 5 seconds?
I tested it on my collection and it took like 38 seconds in both cases.
I'll guess it's correlated to the size of your collection.
But using the code in the first post it took like two hours!
Could be a good thing to change the code there trixi, since it actually gives the wrong result and a better code exists!
Even faster sql? I'll see what I can do...

The biggest shots in Lakers playoff history
Image 15 of 35
21. Gail Goodrich vs. Milwaukee Bucks, Game 6 Western Conference finals, April 22, 1972.( Bill Varie / Los Angeles Times )
The setting: With the score tied, Goodrich hit a 15-foot jump shot at Milwaukee to give the Lakers a 99-97 lead with 1:33 remaining.
The significance: On Goodrichs shot, Happy Hairston was fouled and made a free throw to give the Lakers a three-point lead. They went on to win, 104-100, clinching the series over the defending NBA champions. The Lakers then beat the New York Knicks in five games for their first championship in Los Angeles. |

The Nameberry 9: Names with potential, from Adeline to Castle to Winslet
This week, for The Nameberry 9, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel looks at new names that might make their way onto future Top 1000 lists.
Are you still drowning in data? I had barely finished devouring every bit of analysis regarding the new US Top 1000 before the state data started to pour in. Emma is tops in North Dakota, and Mason and Olivia won Most Likely to Appear on a Birth Certificate in Utah.
Baby name news was all over the mainstream media, too. NPR and The New Yorker weighed in on name trends. Jimmy Kimmel was one of many to pick up on the influence of reality television – he quipped that if he ever has twins, he'll christen them Toddler and Tiara.
There's no denying it – when it comes to baby name trends, what's in the headlines has an impact. A notable name is not guaranteed to catch on – Snooki and Katniss remain rarities. Still, it is an important part of the puzzle – a source of inspiration and new ideas that we all tune into, almost constantly, on our smartphones and tablets and televisions and magazines at the grocery check-out line.
Last week brought us plenty of notable names likely to have an impact when we look at future years' Top 1000 lists:

Brevard Bar Foundation helping children who can't be home for the holidays
The Brevard Bar Foundation is helping to ensure that youth in foster care who won't be in their own homes for the holidays will be remembered on their special day. The Foundation recently presented a check for $1,000 to Brevard Family Partnership to buy toys and gifts for children and teens ranging in age from one to 18 years.
"Each month, the Brevard Bar Foundation selects a nonprofit organization to support. We chose Brevard's child welfare system of care because they serve so many children who've suffered trauma and whose lives have been disrupted through removal from their parents and homes," said Brooke Deratany Goldfarb, a member of the Brevard County Bar Association and Brevard Family Partnership's board of directors who presented the check to BFP's CEO Dr. Patricia Nellius. "We want these children to have a joyous holiday and let them know that someone cares about them and wants them to be happy!"

Newsroom and Archives
The BFP Newsroom contains issues of our monthly E-News, archives of press releaseses and articles, videos, and a variety of publications helpful to the media and consumers.
Update from the CEO
Dear Friends,
Many of you may have seen the press coverage of Davion, the young man in foster care from St. Petersburg, Florida who recently attended the St. Mark's Missionary Baptist Church and shared his heart's desire to find a family to love and embrace him as their own. "'I'll take anyone," Davion told the congregation, "Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be!"
Since his recent plea for an adoptive family, over 1,000 phone calls have been received by the local Community Based Care agency from potential adoptive parents inquiring about Davion. The widespread response to this young man's plea to find a "forever home" reveals the potential to solve the problem of children and youth aging out of foster care without a family to call their own.

Ok, 3x Nexus 7 have a screen problem, i'm pissed off...
i'm pissed off now. The first Nexus 7 i got had some bright pixels (next to eachother) problem, i returned to Best Buy for an exchange, then the 2nd Nexus 7 they gave me had some kind of strange round dot near the middle of the glass that wouldn't go away (manufacturing defect i suppose), and then this one (3rd) have a similar problem as the 1st one, except the pixels are darker (like "burns") and they're in 2 different places on the screen!
Why those problems always happen to me??
i think i'm gonna ask for a refund this time, because i'm so fed up about problems like that, and it seem like i'm a magnet for screen problems! no joke!
my first LCD monitor had a dead pixel (returned for exchange), my Nintendo DS had a green stuck pixel, i had numerous portable media players as well, and i think half of them had screen problems, my PSP i had to exchange it many times to find a fairly good one (the shop where i bought it didn't wanted to exchange it anymore).
You know...LCD screens didn't had this problem when the Game Gear, Sega Nomad and all those portable games devices with color LCD screens were released, 15+ years ago!
i wouldn't have asked for a refund if i didn't had to buy bus tickets everytime i want to go there, and it's one of the only places i can buy it from around here. There are many many shops, but those selling the Nexus 7 are more far away, and when you don't even have a bike, it suck to go there again and again for problems like that.
While the problem wasn't there, i was able to try a game that i play on my other device (Ainol NOVO 7 Elf II) called "Highway Rider", this free 3D game where you drive a bike with the tilt control, and you have to pass by vehicles as near as possible to make points. I noticed a much more fluid framerate on the Nexus 7. - 11-03-2012, 10:56 AM Thread Author #2
Re: Ok, 3x Nexus 7 have a screen problem, i'm pissed off...
there, refunded.
Next time i'll look for used tablet, that way i'm sure the screen won't have any problem! the only thing i'll ask for is at least 16gb of memory (or 8gb + MicroSD slot up to 32gb), and at least Android 4.0. - 11-05-2012, 11:25 AM Thread Author #3
Re: Ok, 3x Nexus 7 have a screen problem, i'm pissed off...
found someone that will sell his Nexus 7 16gb for 240$ to me. That include everything that come with it normally, a screen protector already on it, 1 leather case, another one that have a bluetooth keyboard. i'm pretty sure the cases are the 8-10$ ones on Ebay, but still, i'll be sure the screen won't have problem.
The guy bought it on Google store, and said there's nothing wrong with it. I talked to him on the phone and told him to try the app "screen test", he did and he said the screen is just great, nothing odd.

The specially designed arm socket prevents unnecessary wobble from the arm while providing full control over the arm's torque.
The ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.
Designed for great looks and engineered to avoid the risk of coming off while you're playing. The non-slip functionality gives this collet knob accurate axis rotation and control for any player.

Henry Boyle (October 1875-January 1878)
Henry Green Boyle was born March 7, 1824 in Bluestone, Tazewell, Virginia. He died September 8, 1902 in Pima, Graham, Arizona. The date that he began his service comes from the first installment of the History of the Southern States Mission in the Southern Star. Here is a short biography of Henry Boyle. Several years' worth of Boyle's diaries including 1877 are available on the Mormon Missionary Diaries site. Search for "Boyle" in this link for an interesting story, although Boyle is actor Clint Eastwood's great-great uncle, not an ancestor like the site claims. Autobiography (c. 1831-1846) at BOAP. Served in the Mormon Battalion, Company C.
John Morgan (January 1878-January 1888)
John Hamilton Morgan was born August 8, 1842 in Greensburg, Decatur, Indiana. He died August 14, 1894 in Preston, Franklin, Idaho. He was raised in Indiana and Illinois and served as a soldier in the Civil War. He traveled to Salt Lake City where he joined the church and was later called as a missionary and then Mission President in the Southern States Mission. He was one of the seven presidents of the Quorums of the Seventy. He was an educator, first and foremost. Here is a summary of the many posts about and links to sources on John Morgan. Here is a short biography.
B.H. Roberts (Assistant President, March 1883-early 1885)
Brigham Henry Roberts was born March 13, 1857 in Warrington, Lancashire, England. He died 27 September 1933 in Salt Lake City. After a colorful childhood, he emigrated to Utah and was later called as a missionary. He began his service in the Southern States Mission in December 1880. B.H. Roberts was going to succeed John Morgan as Mission President in November 1882, but due to Roberts' youth, John Morgan remained as president of the mission and Roberts served as Assistant President from March 1883 until sometime in early 1885. He was called as one of the seven presidents of the Quorums of the Seventy. Many issues of the Southern Star devote space to reports and editorials on the hearings about whether B.H. Roberts could take office as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Here is a short biography.
William Spry (January 1888-August 1891)
William Spry was born January 11, 1864 in Windsor, Berkshire, England. He died on April 19, 1929 in Washington D.C., while he was serving as Federal Commissioner of Public Lands. Spry was the third governor of Utah (1909-1917). Here is a biography in the Utah History Encyclopedia. Spry was only 23 or 24 when he became mission president. Here are some mentions of him in the Southern States History and John Morgan's diary.
J. Golden Kimball (August 1891-May 1894)
Jonathan Golden Kimball was born June 9, 1853 in Salt Lake City. He died September 2, 1938 in a single-car accident in the Nevada desert. He had served in the mission several years before his call as President. J.G. Kimball was a son of Apostle Heber C. Kimball and his tenth wife Christeene Golden Kimball. J. G. was famous among the Saints for his humor and pithy sayings. In 1927 he reminisced about his service in the Southern States: "I was in the South three years, presiding over the mission, under the greatest hardships and the greatest difficulties I have ever endured in all my life...yet I have had the greatest joy and the greatest peace and happiness."
Elias S. Kimball (May 1894-June 1898)
Elias Smith Kimball was born on March 30, 1857. He died on June 13, 1934. He was the other son of Heber and Christeene Golden Kimball. He hosted a visit to the Mission by Apostles Matthias F. Cowley and Francis M. Lyman in 1897. They visited every Conference of the mission. J. Golden and Elias were business partners their entire lives, starting at a young age. There is a biography of Elias on the Brigham Young Academy High School site, but it will not link and requires a new search in the alumni directory.
Ben E. Rich (June 1898-July 1908)
Benjamin Erastus Rich was born on November 7, 1855 in Salt Lake City. He died on September 13, 1913 in Salt Lake City. He was involved in the printing business and, as Mission President, began the publication of the Latter Day Saints Southern Star. The Ben E. Rich Papers at the University of Utah contains a scrapbook with many materials about his tenure as a mission president. Here is a biography.
Later Mission Presidents: Ben Rich was succeeded as president of the Southern States Mission by Charles A. Callis in August 1908. Callis served for 25 years, and was succeeded by LeGrand Richards in 1934.
Note: Heather Seferovich also lists the service of John Brown (1867/8 – 1869) under the category of Mission President. I will look into this and see why she categorizes him as a mission president although the history of the Southern States Mission didn't. [May 30, 2012.]

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cris A I'm in love with this top
I was a bit apprehensive about buying after reading other reviews saying that the design makes you feel like you're getting choked! But I must say I didn't think that it was the case.
I got lots of compliments on my top (because it looks so different from what's out there) and I felt very comfortable wearing it. I take pretty full-on conditioning classes at the gym and didnt once think that I was being choked. Actually, it was quite refreshing knowing that I could bend and not have to worry about my cleavage!
Anyway, it was a great purchase and I would definitely recommend it!!! My only comment would be that I would like it to be a but longer, as I'm quite tall. But that doesn't keep me from loving it.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by WorkOutaholic Average tank
Although this tank looks great online, it is a bit impractical.
The fit is great and the mesh panels are a nice touch to help keep cool, but the front of the tank wraps tightly around the neckline,. It makes the top feel restrictive, especially in the front. I prefer tanks with an open neckline so that it's easier to cool off.

The parrot green color is beautiful. The bodice fit nicely but the neckline is way too uncomtable. I thought about keeping it just to wear for low impact workouts but I couldn't even keep it on for five minutes because I felt like the neckline was choking me. The seams also don't lay flat so it feels scratchy. I'm an fit, 5'2", 115 lbs (for your reference). Sadly, I had to return this item.

The Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) has backed a plan to apply for Fairtrade status.
If successful, the park would become the first Fairtrade zone of its kind in the UK. Members of the LDNPA voted at a meeting this week to back the scheme, and help promote ethical trade and support marginalised producers both locally and in developing countries.
There are over 500 towns in the UK that have achieved Fairtrade status, some of which lie within the Lake District National Park. However, any area can apply, including counties, islands and boroughs.
LDNPA policy adviser Neil Solender said working towards Fairtrade status would promote inclusion and integration.
He said: "Fairtrade products do not compete against our own locally-sourced products but rather sit alongside.
"Buying local products from the national park and Cumbria remains of key importance, ensuring our local economy and local producers benefit over the long term."

not likely that a feature like that would get added to Asha 200/201 at this point of the product lifecycle. Additional features are usually a lot more difficult to "justify" and get implemented than e.g. bug fixes. But it's still good piece of feedback - I remember equalizer being included in some older Nokia Series 40 product, for example Nokia 6230i (which I had myself back in the day) had this feature

Flowers and Shabbos Candles Show an URGENCY
I was thinking also of Shabbos candles, which are also perishable. But I think flowers and candles can create a sense of URGENCY. This can add vitality to Jewish living. (Let me also suggest the use of gimmicks like the EASY button from Staples. You hit the button and it says: that was easy. Because something is easy to do, does not mean we have to trivialize it. Flowers and candles don't have to be trivialized and neglected. They can encourage us to live life with more job, SIMCHAH. Shabbat Shalom!

Flowers are nice, however ....
...even if you buy flowers very inexpensively - they do add up. Say you can buy something "thoughtful" for about $7.00. Well, that's $28.00 a month. Then multiply that by 12 and you have a bill of $336.00 for the year. I know that flowers are nice but when you are raising a family and every penny counts - it can be just another expense and put more financial straine on families who are stressed enough. I was never insulted when I didn't get flowers and I never thought my shabbots lacked anything if there weren't any. Of course, I loved it when I DID get them but. for a lot of us you really can't have it all.

Lisle man charged in Glen Ellyn car burglaries
GLEN ELLYN — A Lisle man has been charged with burglarizing cars parked in a Glen Ellyn District 41 parking lot, according to a news release from the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.
Charles Johnsen, 24, of the 5700 block of Abbey Drive in Lisle, is accused of stealing items from cars in the District 41 headquarters lot at 793 N. Main St., according to the release.
Glen Ellyn police officers responded to a report of a suspicious person near the maintenance garage in the parking lot on Tuesday. Upon arrival, an officer allegedly encountered Johnsen and began speaking with him before Johnsen fled the scene on foot when a second officer arrived, according to officials. Officers quickly apprehended and arrested him.

May 9-10, 1990: The Freak Snowstorm
A big snowstorm in May is unusual even in the Upper Peninsula. The far western U.P. had one to open the month last week. It did not seem all that unusual this year after the cold, snowy spring. However the storm that hit 23 years ago starting today was really a freak. It followed record-breaking early season heat that began around April 20, 1990 and continued right up to the day before the storm.
Steve Brown, a high school student living in Norway at the time, remembers that day: "It felt really warm. I was up in Marquette. There were thunderstorms, it was like summer." The official high on May 8 was 76 degrees—a record for the date. Bark River in western Delta County topped out at 82. It was the last day in a series of six record highs within 16 days that included a sultry 89 degrees on April 25. The thundershowers that developed that afternoon formed along a cold front that sank into the area from the northwest. The temperature fell sharply after the frontal passage and the bout of warm spring weather that induced a remarkably early green-up, came to an abrupt end.
Out west, an upper-air trough in the Rockies supported low-pressure development in the Western High Plains, and the weather map suddenly took on a wintry look (Images 1, 2 & 3 above). I remember looking at the maps and charts and computer forecast models and thinking to myself, "If this was a month earlier, we'd get hammered with heavy snow." The low in the Plains was forecast to come toward the Great Lakes and deepen while drawing in colder air from the north. The time of the year and the fact that it had been so warm the last two weeks provided a forecast quandary: How much snow would actually fall and with the warm ground, how much would stick? It seemed wise to mention how wintry the system looked and warn folks that there would likely be a change from rain to snow, at least at the tail end of the event.
The next day saw a thickening overcast as the morning wore on. The air remained chilly, with the temperature rising little from an early-morning start in the 30s to 40s over Upper Michigan. About mid-day a few ice pellets and a flake of snow came down in Marquette. Sprinkles of rain followed and then the precipitation quit.
As part of my television duties, I spoke to a class at Gilbert Elementary School in Gwinn during the early afternoon. At the time, I showed slides as part of my presentation, so the shades in the classroom were drawn and the lights were out. I was telling the students how interesting this developing storm looked; how "if it was a month earlier, we would get a big snow," and so on. At that point, the teacher interrupted me. She pulled up the shade and said, "Look." Outside, a thick fall of heavy, wet snowflakes had begun.
It never did change back to rain over a good portion of the north central highlands of Upper Michigan. At lake-level, it was a different story; a mixture of rain and snow changed to a driving rain that continued all night in Marquette. Down in Norway, Steve Brown was in history class when the leading edge of the storm's precipitation shield reached there. "I remember looking out the window," Brown recalls, "and it looked like it was starting to mix with some flakes of wet snow. I thought, 'that can't be.' But, it started to mix with snow, and then changed back to rain." It rained there all night, too. Brown, a cooperative observer for the NWS, measured two inches of rain and it was still raining the next morning.
In the highlands of the north central U.P., it snowed all night and was still snowing heavily the morning of the 10th, with an increasing northerly wind. The snow took a while to accumulate because of the warm ground. The snow cover never amounted to more than a foot or so, yet there was over three inches water-equivalent and an estimated total of just over 22 inches in Negaunee Township. In Marquette, the precipitation changed to snow in the early morning and began to accumulate slowly. Total accumulation near lake-level amounted to around 8 inches.
In Norway, the changeover occurred during the morning commute. "At ten in the morning it was probably a quarter mile visibility, just heavy, heavy snow," remembers Brown. "No one could pay attention in school because it was May and just a whiteout, huge flakes…it just came down like crazy." Schools in Norway were dismissed at noon. "We hadn't been let out that whole winter and it was May and we got let out because it was so bad," says Brown. Along with the two inches of rain, he measured 10 inches of snow from the storm.
To the east, in Bark River, NWS cooperative observer Larry Wanic checked in with 6.5 inches of snow and a storm total of over 2.33 inches water equivalent. In Menominee, the combination of heavy snow and strong winds wreaked havoc on cable and power lines. "We've got so many outages I can't begin to list them," said a power company spokesman during the height of the storm. "We've got outages from Daggett to Pensaukee [Wisconsin] and all the way west to Suring." The freakish storm dumped significant snow as far south as the western suburbs of Milwaukee.

Tech will play their next 10 games in the Golden State before returning to Oregon to play at NCAA III George Fox University followed by four games at the Concordia University Tournament.
Oregon Tech's 55-game spring schedule includes 14 home contests, beginning with conference doubleheaders versus Corban University on Saturday, March 23rd and Sunday, March 24th. Other home contests include conference doubleheaders versus The College of Idaho and University of British Columbia, both receiving votes in the most recent NAIA Coaches' Poll, along with a non-conference doubleheader versus NCAA III Willamette University.
Coming down to the final weekend of NAIA West action last season, and needing three wins in its final four games to earn a bid to the postseason, Oregon Tech's hopes fell short, as Concordia edged out Tech for the final playoff berth. The Owls won one more game overall than the previous season, while improving five games in the win column of NAIA West play, finishing 11-21 in the conference standings.
For the second-straight year weather proved to be a factor as the Owls were forced to play its first 38 contests on the road, including six would-be home contests in Medford, Ore. The Owls played a total of eight games at Kiger Stadium in Klamath Falls.
Back is senior catcher/first baseman Dylan Rogers, who led the 2012 Owls in batting with a .335 average, including a team-high 60 hits including 17 doubles, six homeruns and 46 RBI.
