A "page" is a request for library staff to retrieve library items from our stacks and have them held for you at a Circulation Desk.
Who can place a page?
Anyone who can check out items from the UC Berkeley Libraries can place a page request (i.e., all current patrons with borrowing privileges). Anyone with an active UCB Library borrowing card (UCB faculty, staff, and students with current IDs, but also alumni and others who have purchased cards) may request library materials.
How do I request a page from a UC Berkeley Library?
Click the request button at the top of the item's record in OskiCat. Then log into MyOskiCat and follow the prompts.
What items can I have paged?
You may request non-reserve items that can be checked out of a library for more than two days. Sorry, we cannot page items from Reference, Rare Books, Reserves or non-circulating items (such as items whose status reads "Missing," or "Library Use Only"). You will know if an item can be paged by the presence or absence of a "Request" button on the OskiCat record or by the "No Requestable Items Are Available" message.
What if the item is checked out?
If the item is checked out, you can still use the "Request" link or button. We will recall the item from the patron who has it checked out, who will then have a week to return the item. When the item is returned, we will notify you that it is ready to be picked up. We will keep the item on hold at the Circulation Desk for you for 7 days.
You may also be able to request books that are checked-out or unavailable at UC Berkeley using Melvyl or our ILL Service.
How many items can I request to be paged?
UC Berkeley faculty and staff can have up to 40 total holds/pages/recalls at a time; alumni and others who have purchased borrowing privileges can have up to 20 holds/pages/recalls. Undergraduates are allowed up to 20 holds/pages/recalls. Additional requests are canceled by the system.
How long will it take to process my request?
Requests generally will be fulfilled within 3 business days. If you need an item sooner than three business days, you should go directly to the owning library and check it out in person.
How will you notify me when my item is ready?
The library will send you an email notification when the item you requested is ready to be picked up at the Circulation Desk. We will also notify you if your request is canceled. Requests may be canceled for a variety of reasons, such as when the item can't be located in the library, the item cannot be checked out to you, or you have exceeded your item request limit. Communication is by email, so check your library record to make sure the email address we have on file for you is correct.
How long will the item be held for me?

http://www.cagepotato.com/rampage-vs...cked-you-guys/The ticket sales for Bellators November 2nd pay-per-view debut are bad basically as bad as they could possibly be less than a month out from the card.
On Friday, MMAJunkies John Morgan tweeted that the PPV had sold only approximately 1,700 tickets, with another 2,000 on consignment. Matt Roth of MMAMania noted just how dire the situation really is. He pointed out that the venue can hold over 13,000 people, meaning that Bellator would have to sell in the neighborhood of 10,000 tickets in less than 20 days to secure a sellout. That probably isnt going to happen not even if Tito Ortiz and Rampage Jackson became giants like in the awful trailer for the PPV.
Bjorn Rebney better be prepared to get a job at his dads Winnebago dealership; winter is coming for Bellator. Nobody is going to attend their PPV, and its probable that, at an expected price between $35-45, nobody is going to purchase their PPV either. Nobody gives a fuck about their product and their titles are considered worthless. If the UFC stacked three title fights on a card, youd expect success, even if it were the titles for the three lightest weight classes. But with Bellator, which is offering three title fights on its PPV (although one is a dubious interim title), nobody knows or cares. Hell, were a site whose fanbase is comprised pretty much of entirely hardcore fans, and judging by the front page poll, a third of you never even watch Bellator. If they cant get the hardcores, what fucking chance do they have at getting the casual fans to drop money on this PPV?
Even more concerning is a recent report from MMAPayout about Bellator 102, which UFC star Cheick Kongo headlined. The shows gate was only $73,410.43. A paltry 1,482 people attended the show but nearly half of those tickets (604 of them to be precise) were comped. Now, are you ready to be really amazed? Lets look at the salaries.
Kongo made $60,000 for his fight against Mark Godbeer, who made $15,000. So the main event alone accounted for more money than the entire show made in ticket sales. The total salary payout for the entire card, including Kongo and Godbeer, was $308,000.
Subtract the gate from the salaries and you get $234,589.57 thats what Bellator lost on the show, or at least thats the amount of money that Bellator needs to make up through sponsorships and other deals. Well Viacom is rich and can take a loss on Bellator, you say? True enough, it seems at first that Viacom could pull off the whole Ted Turner-WCW thing, but Viacom already paid $50 million for an inferior product and a Dana White lookalike. And that product is proving that its not financially sustainable. How much longer will Viacom decide to keep the sick man of MMA on life support?
Its rare, but were going to have to agree with Dana White here: Theres no value to Bellator. The promotion still features some insanely talented fighters, but financially, theyre worse in the shit than Enron or WaMu. Get ready for Dana to add another name to the tombstone.

Two members of an alleged sex trafficking ring plan to plead guilty to federal charges, according to court documents.
In September, six people were indicted on charges of being part of a criminal conspiracy to identify those living illegally, and then move them across state lines from Georgia into Aiken County "with intent that such individuals engage in prostitution."
On Monday, Donaciano Tecpa-Tecpa's plea agreement was obtained by the Aiken Standard. On Tuesday, documents for Maria Garcia-Moreno, the named defendant in the case, were filed.
Moreno, Tecpa, Ruben Cabanas-Torres, Maria De Jesus Roque-Llanas and Esteban Acosta-Munoz were all alleged to be involved in a scheme that has been in operation since at least January 2010 through the end of July 2012, according to the indictment.
Women from Atlanta and other unnamed areas of Georgia would be recruited and then brought to South Carolina to become prostitutes, according to documents.
Court documents outlining the alleged conspiracy state that Moreno, Tecpa and Llanas travelled from the Atlanta area to Ridge Spring "for the purpose of engaging in prostitution" on July 23 of this year. On that day, according to Aiken County Sheriff's Office records, the three were arrested and jailed on warrants for prostitution.
The federal indictment levies three charges: conspiracy, interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution, and the harboring and transportation of aliens.
Moreno and Tecpa's plea agreements state that they plan to plead guilty to interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution. The other charges will be dropped, if the defendants adhere to all of the requirements of the plea agreements.
The requirements include taking a polygraph test, offering all information about criminal activity known to the defendants. Failure to meet these criteria will result in the agreements being voided and the government will lobby for a maximum sentence to be imposed and other charges could follow.

WAGENER — The last time the Wagener-Salley High School War Eagles defeated the Hawks of Blackville-Hilda High School, not a single player on either roster was born. That was 1994. This is 2013, and the War Eagles came out hungry for a statement win at home, as they have marched through the early part of the season to sit 4-1.
What started off as an offensive explosion turned into a defensive struggle late with the War Eagles standing firm to protect their home field with a 34-27 win on Military Appreciation Night.
"(This win) means a lot to our team, our program and especially our community," said Wagener-Salley head coach Ken Tucker. "Coming into this season, we had high expectations and have looked forward to this game after losing to them in the playoffs last year. We didn't really talk about it much, but you could sense the importance of this game in practice Monday through Thursday."
Those energized practices paid off in a big way on Friday night as the War Eagles tallied 336 total yards on offense, including 247 rushing yards while the Hawks (1-3) only mustered 240 total yards, 140 on the ground. While the Wagener-Salley offense put up the points and impressive numbers, it was the War Eagles' defense that won the game in the trenches late in the game with several three-and-outs.
Despite putting the ball on the ground on the opening kickoff, a mistake that allowed the Blackville-Hilda to jump out to an early 7-0 lead, Wagener-Salley was able to keep pace with a squad that out-scored them 55-49 between last season's two meetings. Both teams offenses moved the ball up and down the field with ease in the first half, but things changed in a hurry in the second half when it became a defensive struggle – a struggle that the Wagener-Salley squad controlled to the final horn.
"In a game like this, your offensive and defensive lines have to come through for you," stated Tucker. "We just needed to be more physical ... and step up and make plays ... Mostly it was playing just tough football."
Senior running back Eric Corley finished with 145 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns, making up for his opening-possession fumble.

Of the 51 million people in the United States who are at risk of hunger, 6 million are over the age of 60. Though this problem is large, AARP Foundation believes it is solvable. Through Drive to End Hunger, the Foundation seeks to put an end to senior hunger, by engaging in anti-hunger work at the local and national levels.
At the community level, AARP Foundation is working with local anti-hunger programs and services to:
- Educate and enroll older people in SNAP (the Federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program); and
- Provide food and volunteers to supplement the efforts of local hunger relief organizations to meet the growing demand to feed more seniors.
At the national level, we are:
- Increasing awareness about senior hunger by teaming up with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon and team sponsor Hendrick Motorsports;
- Partnering with Fortune 500 companies and national organizations to raise money to fight hunger among older people; and
- Developing long-term, sustainable solutions to senior hunger through collaboration with hunger researchers, educators and other nonprofit organizations, and through this grant making process.
Our long-term goal is to shift the paradigm, so that our focus is less about short-term solutions that seek to put food on the table, and more about providing long-term sustainable solutions that solve the issue of senior hunger, increase food security among seniors and decrease the numbers of hungry seniors in our country.

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.

'Ninja Nana' spearheads Cure JM fundraisersWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
Pauline Lenz has earned herself the nickname "Ninja Nana" for her untiring support of Cure JM, a nonprofit supporting research of juvenile myositis.
Juvenile myositis is an autoimmune disease with the primary symptoms being weak muscles and what appear to be skin rashes. Instead of the immune system protecting the body by attacking infections and other agents, the immune system begins attacking the body. JM encompasses different subcategories, the most common being juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).
Lenz, a Toledo-area resident, is a frequent poster on Cure JM's Facebook page, supporting other families. She has also helped organize a fundraiser for Cure JM, taking place at about 20 Chuck E. Cheese's locations across the state Sept. 7. Her grandson Kinser has JM.
"One of the little boys (from Facebook) mentioned I should be Ninja Nana because ninjas never give up," Lenz said.
Nonprofit educates, funds research
Kinser, a first-grader, was diagnosed in August 2010. Lenz became involved in Cure JM a few months later.
"They taught me how to understand this disease, and there is no better place than this foundation because it's made up of world-known specialists," she said.
Cure JM was co-founded in October 2003 by three women whose children or grandchildren have JM. Shari Hume, one of co-founders, has a son who was diagnosed at 4. It took six months to diagnose her son, now 14 and in remission.
"We felt completely powerless," Hume said, remembering watching her son go through IV and chemotherapy treatments and take 20 pills per day.
However, she found inspiration in her son's resilience.
"We realized, in the face of adversity, he had all this strength," Hume said. "We thought we could be catalysts for the cure."
Now, nine years later, the nonprofit puts on conferences, has raised $4 million, helped fund research centers in Chicago and Washington, D.C., and put out a book, "Myositis and You."
The group also provides emotional support for families. "People come to us and say, 'Gosh, I felt so alone and then I realized I had this community I can talk to,' " Hume said.
Cure JM has a medical advisory council as well.
"We can email these world-known specialists and they email us back. I mean we're talking to doctors," Lenz said.
Identifying JM
One of these doctors is Lisa Rider, the deputy chief of the Environmental Autoimmunity Group for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Rider said JM is believed to be the result of multiple genes and environmental factors. The disease can go into remission and be brought back by triggers like sunburn, colds/viruses and vaccines.
"Remission is kind of a classic word I think because you always have the disease. It's finding out what the trigger is of the disease," Lenz said.
There is no standard way to treat JM, Rider said. Prednisone, which can have side effects like weight gain and mood swings, is the mainstay of treatment.
Since JM is a rare disease, affecting about 17,000 across the country, drug companies don't heavily research it.
"It's not going to be a blockbuster for them," Rider said, adding, however, "I'm having more contact with drug companies over the past two years than in my whole career."
Most pediatricians won't see a case of JM in their lives, Hume noted. Some patients have printed off pictures from Cure JM's website and brought them to their doctors.
Many doctors aren't trained to spot JM, leading to an average diagnosis delay of four months.
"Everybody needs to spot it earlier," Rider said. "The more quickly people can get on to effective treatment, the better."
With treatment, patients can expect a relatively normal life expectancy, Rider said.
"Research is making a big difference with patients for their outcomes and effective treatments," Rider said.
Finding a cure
Ninety-five percent of Cure JM's finances go toward research grants and programs. The foundation, which was the top-rated nonprofit in 2011 and 2012 by Great Nonprofits, relies strictly on volunteers.
"We rely on volunteers like Pauline because we don't have government grants or big corporate sponsorships," Hume said.
Lenz originally approached the Chuck E. Cheese on Monroe Street about hosting a small fundraiser. It quickly got bigger.
"They right away said, 'You know what? We'll contact the Airport Highway location and we know the manager at the Parma location,' " Lenz said.
"It wasn't more than a couple days later that their corporate office called me," she said. "It went from, 'We're gonna have a nice little fundraiser at these three,' to 'We're going to have a giant statewide fundraiser from Chuck E. Cheese's.'"
"[Supporting nonprofits is] a way for our stores to not only connect with their local communities, but to give back," said Cristina R. Hayes, spokesperson for Chuck E. Cheese's.
Lenz is also working to get Oct. 13 declared "Cure JM Day." Councilwoman Lindsay Webb is sponsoring a resolution and is encouraging state legislators to do the same. Council is set to vote on the "Cure JM Day" resolution on Sept. 25.
"Sept. 7, I encourage everyone with kids or without kids or with grandkids to go to Chuck E. Cheese's," Webb said at the Aug. 28 meeting. "My kids are super-excited."
Even with her tireless work for Cure JM, Lenz stays passionate about keeping her grandson's life as "normal" as possible.
"Kinser loves to play Mario games. He loves to go out and play soccer … kickball with us. He has uncles that he loves to play with and wrestle with," Lenz said. "He is a strong person. He is a caring person. He is a loving little man."
The Chuck E. Cheese's locations will donate 15 percent of its sales from 3 to 9 p.m. Sept. 7 to Cure JM. For a full list of locations and more information, visit www.curejm.org. The foundation will also participate in the Chase Community Giving Contest on Sept. 6 to win $250,000. Visit www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving for more information.

iMore show. CrackBerry Kevin. Tonight. 6pm PT / 9pm ET. Be here.
Kevin Michaluk, the chief media officer of Mobile Nations, and the founder of CrackBerry.com joins me tonight to talk about his month spent using the iPhone 5 as part of his "World Tour". What he loved, what he hated, and where he thinks Apple stacks up in their battle against Android, and against Windows Phone 8 and the upcoming BlackBerry 10.
It's going to be brutal. You don't want to miss it.

iMore show. CrackBerry Kevin. Tonight. 6pm PT / 9pm ET. Be here.
I haven't listened to it yet, but I don't see any purpose for it except for the traffic it might draw due to its polarizing effect(iPhone fanboys vs. BB fanboys). It's always a good draw and Kevin uses this tactic often on Crackberry. I think they call it "Linkbait"! Reminds me of Fox News or Glen Beck etc.
I listened to the show today and Kevin struck me as a whiner with his complaints, some of which are moronic.
He's upset because IOS doesn't automatically switch to cell data when the hotel wifi drops out overnight. Dude, I don't want my podcast catcher using up my cell data limit for the month in one night.
He's mad because Dropbox won't continuously sync in the background. Oh, so it can use up the battery when you forget to close the app? And then he'd probably complain about that.
He's mad because he missed a flight because he set the alarm wrong and it didn't warn him. Seriously? Your phone is not your mommy. Pay attention and use it properly.
He doesn't like the built in IOS alarm. Neither do I. Oh, wait. There's only 100s of alarm clock apps to chose from, many of which are free.
It just went on and on... Look, I have a Blackberry for work, and it's a POS. It's only redeeming feature is how well it interfaces with the company Outlook BES. But I hope BB10 is a great product, because it will push IOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc to sharpen their products.

The keyword here isn't roles, it's dedicated roles. Everyone will tank a mob at some point, but you will never, no matter the profession or spec, play exclusively as a tank.
The OPs post shows a core problem of GW2 though. You can't just point people to a video and say 'look for yourself', because when they don't know what they are looking for, they aren't going to see how GW2 actually works, but instead squeeze it into the framework of MMOs they already have.

Video shows the guardian standing in front of a single mob for a couple seconds at one point now what if 5 adds came in how is he going to tank then?
Also if you actually look at my post history my first 1000 or so posts hardly had any posts about GW2 I didn't start talking about the game much till I actually got to play the game after BWE1.
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

the beta play and watching the threads are completely two different experiences.
The streams were enticing, the beta is addictive like nothing else.

on topic, well since you can spec toughness and kit yourself out damage reducing weapons and utility skills then you can reduce damage. Unfortunately that boss mob or his adds or any of the trash do not care one bit about you in comparison to everyone else. They will be quite happy to run past the heavily defensive guy and start smashing on a damage spec'd elementalist.
If you want to fill a tank role you have to physically get in the way of projectiles and mobs and force them away from your opponents, keep them crippled and intercept their attacks. The reason why GW2 is different is that I can do that on my thief by specing in a blind/venoms build with some acrobatics thrown in to keep me alive. Instead of using a guardian in the way described I can blind the boss preventing him from hitting regularly and keep him chilled and in other states to prevent him damaging my opponents.
One thing you can not do is stand there and hit on a boss and expect him to just hit you back and ignore everyone else.

You say that like you've played it, which you clearly haven't. You couldn't be more wrong. No one's tanking/supporting in an event, and no one CAN tank in a dungeon. Everything hits too hard, even if you're a Guardian traited with tons of defense and heals, you can't tank. You can barely 'tank' normal mobs, let alone things inside dungeons all of which are minimum Champion level. So, no, there's not "still" people doing all those things anyway, and blatantly assuming that despite all the evidence to the contrary is insulting yourself.

still think TSW is a great game but Funcom made some huge mistakes which I talked about in my posts prior to launch while playing in closed beta and complaints I made during the beta which in turn I feel has greatly affected how well the game was recieved. GW2 has some issues but far from what is holding TSW back and the game is designed for a much bigger mass of people. GW2 is going to do just fine.

And we all played the betas of those games too. The first portion of the game is always the best tuned / tested, because everyone has to start there. It's the later zones that will make or break gw2, and we haven't seen / played those yet.

Well, try smarter, because attacking a great forum member and misrepresenting the game are not good ways to bring down expectations a notch. It's a good way to get people upset with you, however. Congrats on that.
Yes, if there's one mob, then potentially one guy could stand in front of it and take a lot of hits. That's pretty stupid however, as you should be avoiding hits as much as you can. Additionally, this completely falls apart if other melee are there or if there is more than one mob. Most of the time, there's more than one and you'll have other melee. It also falls apart if the meager healing others provide can't keep up with the damage. And it is less than ideal since it cuts down on the amount of damage the group is doing. Best to learn sensible defensive skills and strategies rather than trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

I seriously love it when people talk out of their ass and haven't even played the game yet.... amazing to me actually.
There's no threat, no taunts, and even a Warrior/Guardian will get absolutely man-handled if you try to "tank" in the traditional sense (read carefully... stand still to "absorb aggro" while someone else heals them). Do you know how well that's going to work? I can tell you - you will wipe... then piss and moan the group sucks.
In other news - Im going to go to the first mechanic forum I find on google and explain to them how to rebuild an engine. I mean, I've never been a mechanic a day in my life but I drive cars - so obviously I'm an expert.

Not all classes do the same role equal. Guardian is one class that can take a beating and keep asking for more. There may not be a taunt but when the Guardian in the team does get aggro they shin for 30 -120 seconds. In battle thats a long time. Sure there is no set healer/tank/dps class but each class does something really well and in that way the trinity is not dead. Its packaged differently but its here. Nothing wrong with that because IMO its done really well and very uniqe for a MMO. Make fun of GW2 for having the trinity or stand fast yelling there isnt one. It make no difference. The game is fun!!! and far from a copy paste of WoW like most MMOs that have come out over the past few years. Get ready for a different game, GW2 is it!

About the video:
he is barely getting hit at all because even though he is at melee range he is not the one managing the boss, if you had played the game even once you'd notice that as well, the 4 other players are the ones managing the encounters (as in switching roles and rotating around) he is basically just along for the ride this is story mode after all. Plus these guys are from the QA team @Anet I'd love to see him do that badly and still survive if he was running with random players.
[mod edit][mod edit]
I prefer to think big and get rewarded for doing so rather than to think small and get nothing at all. It's my money and I can do with it as I choose. You want to sink a game before it even begins, all the power to you, that's $60 well spent, I guess.
Remember this, it is you who bought the game. It is you who play the game. It is you who leaves the game. No where in there was there a developer prodding you with a pitchfork.
You want a holy trinity, by all means, go for it. Turn this game into something YOU are familiar with. Change is only good if you are willing to embrace it. But not everyone likes change, which is why they always go back to their tried and true game... the one that they've memorized like the back of their hand... the one that doesn't even require even the remotest of real effort... the one they keep leaving looking for something new. Funny how people are, wanting change but unwilling to change.

In all fairness though, I actually found SWTOR and TSW to be good games. They just don't have a ton of tong term appeal to them. With the way this game is designed it appears it may not have the same issue. Between the explorable mode dungeons, scalable content,etc. it seems to have a lot more potential lasting appeal for players. Not having a sub goes a long way too.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

Puppies, kitties, cake, and balloons – it must be a PAW-TY!
The merchants on "Short" Central Avenue in Historic Downtown Summerville are partnering with Francis R. Willis SPCA of Dorchester County to celebrate The Eclectic Chef's ninth anniversary Saturday, June 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will give residents the opportunity to learn how they can support the SPCA and our furry friends through adoption, fostering, volunteering, and donations to the SPCA. Representatives from the SPCA will be set up on Short Central from noon to 3pm.
The Eclectic Chef, a favorite downtown eatery, has a tradition of using their celebrations to benefit the SPCA. Eclectic Chef owner, Ben McCollum, for years has served up his birthday cake at $3 a slice and donated all the proceeds to the SPCA. McCollum's "Dine with Your Dog" event in the fall is another way Ben supports the stray, abandoned, abused or lost pets in our community.
"This year, the whole street is getting into the party spirit and supporting the SPCA," says McCollum. "We are really excited to be doing this as a family here on Short Central. We are the community, and what is important to community is important to us."
In addition to birthday cake, shops up and down the street will be offering discounts or donating a portion of the day's sales to the SPCA.
Downtown Crossing, a Short Central boutique, will be a collection site for material donations. Some of the items the SPCA needs on a regular basis include: food (canned and dry - puppy, kitten, dog and cat – please no red dye in dry food), laundry detergent, cat litter, towels/blankets (new or used/clean), leashes, and collars. You may drop off material donations to Downtown Crossing from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29.
For more information about the Francis R. Willis SPCA, please call 871-3820 or visit the website at www.summervillespca.org or their Facebook page.

Bad weather blamed for delayed UPS, FedEx shipmentsBy SCOTT MAYEROWITZ
The Associated Press | December 26,2013AP Photo
Package handler Chris Addison arranges packages before loading a delivery truck at a FedEx sorting facility in Kansas City, Mo., earlier this month.NEW YORK Santas sleigh didnt make it in time for Christmas for some this year due to shipping problems at UPS and FedEx.
The delays were blamed on poor weather earlier this week in parts of the country as well as overloaded systems. The holiday shopping period this year was shorter than usual, more buying was done online and Americans tendency to wait until the last possible second to shop probably didnt help either.
Neither company said how many packages were delayed but noted it was a small share of overall holiday shipments. While the bulk of consumers holiday spending remains at physical stores, shopping online is increasingly popular and outstripping spending growth in stores at the mall.
The problems appear to have affected many parts of the country. The Associated Press spoke to people in Alabama, California, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia who didnt receive presents in time for Christmas.
Many were left with little or no time to make alternative plans.
Jeff Cormier and his Dallas family were among those who ordered gifts that didnt arrive.
He had three separate UPS packages including two for which he paid extra for expedited shipping delayed.
Ive had to apologize to three different people when I thought I had everything wrapped up and good to go way before, Cormier said.
He and his wife are celebrating their baby daughters first Christmas and flew in his grandmother from Ohio to join them. Her gift, a customized iPhone cover with a photo of her new great-granddaughter, didnt come in time for Christmas.
My wife and I had our presents to open. Our daughter had her presents to open. And my grandma, she didnt have anything to open, Cormier said.
We apologize that our customers did not receive their packages on Christmas, said Natalie Godwin, a spokeswoman for United Parcel Service Inc.
Godwin said snow and ice in the Midwest last week and an ice storm that hit Dallas two and a half weeks ago were partially to blame. She also said the volume of packages shipped exceeded the capacity of UPS but would not share the number of packages shipped or what the companys maximum capacity is.
UPS did not make pickups or deliveries Wednesday. Extra workers were being brought in Wednesday night to the companys hub in Louisville, Ky., to sort packages for Thursday and Friday delivery, according to Godwin.
Godwin said UPS will honor its peak shipments commitments to customers who used its air delivery service. Those shipping by ground have no guarantee past Dec. 11. Godwin said she didnt know if customers would receive refunds.
However, some FedEx customers are able to pick up packages Christmas Day at their local FedEx Express centers.
Were sorry that there could be delays and were contacting affected customers who have shipments available for pickup, said Scott Fiedler, a spokesman for FedEx Corp.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FedEx handled 275 million shipments, according to Fiedler. Those that were not delivered in time, he said, would be very few.
Three people told The Associated Press that when they tracked their packages online, FedEx said deliveries to their homes were attempted but failed because the business was closed. During follow-up calls with customer service, they said they learned that the local depot was overwhelmed and didnt attempt delivery.
On Sunday, Eric Swanson ordered a doll for his daughter and a sweater for his wife through Amazon.com and one of its affiliated sites. As an Amazon Prime customer, there was a promise of two-day delivery, getting the gifts to his Carmichael, Calif. home just in time for Christmas. One was shipped via UPS, the other FedEx.
I thought it would happen, Swanson said. Online tracking tools said the packages would arrive by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Neither did.
Amazon.com has been notifying some customers affected by the UPS delays that it will refund any shipping charges and is giving them a $20 credit toward a future purchase.
Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako said the company processed orders and got them to its shippers on time for holiday delivery and is now reviewing the performance of the delivery carriers.
While some customers may get money back, they might think twice about ordering online next year.
My wife understands but my 5-year-old daughter ... I think were going to let it be a surprise when it comes, Swanson said. Next time, if I need to get a gift and cut it that close, I will just have to enter the fray and go to the mall.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

A blaze at a West Ashley apartment complex gutted a section of one of the buildings and displaced five families this afternoon.
The fire was reported at 1:40 p.m. in Townhouse Village Apartments at 43 Cedarhurst Ave., according to Charleston Chief Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh.
The complex is behind the St. Andrews library between Ashley Hall Road and North Windmere Drive.
More than a dozen fire trucks and emergency units from Charleston, St. Andrews, North Charleston and Charleston County responded, as about 100 residents stood around watching the action. Thick smoke and flames were pouring from one of the buildings when the first crews arrived. Firefighters evacuated the building and nearby units.
A ladder truck continuously sprayed a pine tree near the burning building to keep the fire from spreading while crews battled the blaze. Fire trucks were positioned throughout the complex in case the fire spread.
The fire burned a hole through the middle of the building.
One apartment was gutted and several adjacent apartments were damaged. Five of the eight units in the building were posted unsafe until they can be inspected, Julazadeh said.
None of the residents was injured. A firefighter was treated on scene for a minor burn.
Nobody was home in the apartment where the fire started, and the cause is under investigation.
Matt and Amanda Bishop were standing in a parking lot across from the burning building in their pajamas holding their 2-year-old daughter. They live in the building where the fire started. They went outside after a boy who lives near them pounded on their door.
"We never smelled smoke until we got outside," Amanda Bishop said. "It happened so fast. That little boy who was running around pounding on doors, he was the real hero."
Red Cross volunteers offered to help 10 residents who were displaced by the fire.

- Evidence for an exotic S=-2, Q=-2 baryon resonance in proton-proton collisions at the CERN SPS (2004)
- Results of resonance searches in the Xi - pi -, Xi - pi +, Xi -bar+ pi -, and Xi -bar+ pi + invariant mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=17.2 GeV are presented. Evidence is shown for the existence of a narrow Xi - pi - baryon resonance with mass of 1.862±0.002 GeV/c2 and width below the detector resolution of about 0.018 GeV/c2. The significance is estimated to be above 4.2 sigma . This state is a candidate for the hypothetical exotic Xi --3/2 baryon with S=-2, I=3 / 2, and a quark content of (dsdsu-bar). At the same mass, a peak is observed in the Xi - pi + spectrum which is a candidate for the Xi 03/2 member of this isospin quartet with a quark content of (dsusd-bar). The corresponding antibaryon spectra also show enhancements at the same invariant mass.

- Lambda hyperons produced in central nucleus-nucleus interactions at 4.5 GeV/c momentum per incident nucleon (1983)
- Transverse momenta and rapidities of Lambda 's produced in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at 4.5 GeV/c·u (C-C,...,O-Pb) were studied and compared with those from inelastic He-Li interactions at the same incident momentum. Polarization of the Lambda hyperons was found to be consistent with zero ( alpha P=-0.06=0.11 for Lambda 's from central collisions). An upper limit of the Lambda -bar / Lambda production ratio was estimated to be less than 4.5 x 10-3. The experiment was performed in a triggered streamer chamber.
- Energy and centrality dependence of deuteron and proton production in Pb+Pb collisions at relativistic energies (2004)
- The transverse mass mt distributions for deuterons and protons are measured in Pb+Pb reactions near midrapidity and in the range 0<mt–m<1.0 (1.5) GeV/c2 for minimum bias collisions at 158A GeV and for central collisions at 40 and 80 A GeV beam energies. The rapidity density dn/dy, inverse slope parameter T and mean transverse mass <mt> derived from mt distributions as well as the coalescence parameter B2 are studied as a function of the incident energy and the collision centrality. The deuteron mt spectra are significantly harder than those of protons, especially in central collisions. The coalescence factor B2 shows three systematic trends. First, it decreases strongly with increasing centrality reflecting an enlargement of the deuteron coalescence volume in central Pb+Pb collisions. Second, it increases with mt. Finally, B2 shows an increase with decreasing incident beam energy even within the SPS energy range. The results are discussed and compared to the predictions of models that include the collective expansion of the source created in Pb+Pb collisions.
- Chemical equilibrium study in nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies (2004)
- We present a detailed study of chemical freeze-out in nucleus-nucleus collisions at beam energies of 11.6, 30, 40, 80 and 158A GeV. By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization approach, we have studied the strangeness production as a function of centre of mass energy and of the parameters of the source. We have tested and compared different versions of the statistical model, with special emphasis on possible explanations of the observed strangeness hadronic phase space under-saturation. We show that, in this energy range, the use of hadron yields at midrapidity instead of in full phase space artificially enhances strangeness production and could lead to incorrect conclusions as far as the occurrence of full chemical equilibrium is concerned. In addition to the basic model with an extra strange quark non-equilibrium parameter, we have tested three more schemes: a two-component model superimposing hadrons coming out of single nucleon-nucleon interactions to those emerging from large fireballs at equilibrium, a model with local strangeness neutrality and a model with strange and light quark non-equilibrium parameters. The behaviour of the source parameters as a function of colliding system and collision energy is studied. The description of strangeness production entails a non-monotonic energy dependence of strangeness saturation parameter gamma_S with a maximum around 30A GeV. We also present predictions of the production rates of still unmeasured hadrons including the newly discovered Theta^+(1540) pentaquark baryon.
- On chemical equilibrium in nuclear collisions (1997)
- The data on average hadron multiplicities in central A+A collisions measured at CERN SPS are analysed with the ideal hadron gas model. It is shown that the full chemical equilibrium version of the model fails to describe the experimental results. The agreement of the data with the off-equilibrium version allowing for partial strangeness saturation is significantly better. The freeze-out temperature of about 180 MeV seems to be independent of the system size (from S+S to Pb+Pb) and in agreement with that extracted in e+e-, pp and p{\bar p} collisions. The strangeness suppression is discussed at both hadron and valence quark level. It is found that the hadronic strangeness saturation factor gamma_S increases from about 0.45 for pp interactions to about 0.7 for central A+A collisions with no significant change from S+S to Pb+Pb collisions. The quark strangeness suppression factor lambda_S is found to be about 0.2 for elementary collisions and about 0.4 for heavy ion collisions independently of collision energy and type of colliding system

Editor's Note: Voters of municipal elections on March 12 will decide several positions in Crestview and Laurel Hill city governments.
To help readers make informed decisions at the polls, the News Bulletin will publish profiles of each candidate running for office in each edition of the newspaper through March 2. Today, we profile the two candidates running for mayor of Laurel Hill.
Each candidate was asked to answer the same questions and received the same amount of space to respond. Candidates appear alphabetically.
Personal: Lifelong north Okaloosa County resident. Grew up just south of Laurel Hill in the Campton community and moved within Laurel Hill city limits in November 2005.
Married to his high school sweetheart, Debra Adams, for 18 years. Two children, Dylan, 8, and Aidan, 4. Employed by the USDA/Farm Service Agency as a program technician, serves as Laurel Hill's council vice chairperson and is a member of Laurel Hill School's School Advisory Council.
Relevant experience:
Appointed to Laurel Hill City Council in June 2008, began four-year term in April 2009. I have served as council vice chairperson several times and overseen the completion of the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grant project for Gene Clary Park. Responsibilities included planning for upgrades to Gene Clary Park that were feasible based on allocated funds and selecting vendors through the bid process.
Other education/experience: Associate of Arts in Physical Education;Associate of Science in Drafting and Design Technology. Employed as program technician with the USDA/Farm Service Agency, where my responsibilities include overseeing programs implemented by the USDA Farm Bill.Prior to my employment with the USDA/FSA, I worked as a planner at EJM Aerospace Services for six years.
Reason you seek this position: This is a tough question and maybe the standard answer shouldn't be "because I feel like I am the best person for the job." But why would anyone subject themselves or their family to the public scrutiny that comes from holding a public office?
I think I can make a difference.
The citizens and employees of the city deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and I intend to make this a priority. I will treat all citizens equally and approach all issues with an open mind. It's time to bring honesty and integrity back to the office of mayor.
Biggest issue this position faces and how you plan to address it: The city recently began a process to explore dissolving the city charter. With this process, the citizens should be given the opportunity to decide if they choose to continue as a city or if they will be better served as part of Okaloosa County.
As mayor, I want to make sure the citizens are well informed of all aspects of this decision. If the citizens choose to dissolve the city, I want to be their voice in negotiations with Okaloosa County.
However, if the citizens choose to stay a city, I will work with the new council in continuing to pass financially responsible budgets so that we may remain a city with the least amount of tax burden upon our citizens.
Personal: Married to Theresa Blizzard (Weaver) for 32 years. Three sons: Michael, 27; Justin, 23; and Josiah, 15. Resident of Laurel Hill since 1992.
Served as a security policeman in the United States Air Force and retired from Eglin A.F.B. in 1994. Employed as a corrections officer with the Walton County Department of Corrections, where he also serves as a field training officer. Politically conservative and a strong supporter of the U.S. Constitution.
Relevant experience:I initially served as a city council member in Laurel Hill in 1996, filling a vacant position. I was then elected to the office of mayor and served two terms, 1997-1999 and 1999-2001. I have experience in city government and the budgetary matters.
Other education/experience:I am a certified corrections officer in the state of Florida, I attended the Corrections Academy in 2005 at Santa Rosa Correctional Institution. I also have 32 credit hours of college.
Reason you seek this position: I am seeking the office of mayor because I want to see the city of Laurel Hill remain a city.
There has been some interest expressed in dissolving our city and I think it would be a travesty to allow this to happen. Laurel Hill has a rich history and can have a brilliant future.
Yes, we have budgetary problems, which must be addressed, but I believe we can find solutions to our problems if the mayor, city council and the citizens all work together.
Biggest issue this position faces and how you plan to address it: Our streets are in a deplorable condition but they did not get that way overnight.
It will take time to resolve this issue, but I think it is not an insurmountable problem. We will continue to seek grants to improve the roadways as well as try to work with Okaloosa County to seek a solution. With the gas tax money we receive each year, we can address this problem a little at a time.
The dissolution of the city will not result in the immediate paving of our streets.

Scrapped Comic #2: Trill
This next one is aboutn alien named Trill, who I accidentally themed like a snail. I almost gave the comic the working title "snalien", but figured people would have a hard time figuring out if it was supposed to be spelled "snalien" or "snailien". In retrospect this might still be an idea worth pursuing, but the biggest issue right now is figuring out what kind of character Trill really is. Right now, she seems kindalike a two-dimensional space cop.
The second comic is kind of a "page three" of a mini-story that accidentally evolved from the first one. In the first strip, Trill is asking about the current weather condition of her favorite vacation spot, "Planet Fun", to which the computer dryly responds that unsafe levels of fun are detected, and there are no survivors.

I believe the representative who assisted me was named Lucas and he was very helpful in every way possible. He was kind, friendly, and very informative. I work in customer service and in my personal opinion this rep went above and beyond to make sure that we had a smooth transaction when deciding which unit to go with. I would like for him to be recognized for the work that he does because in today's society I feel as though people in his situation are not always appreciated and he was amazingly awesome. I would definitely recommend Uncle Bobs to anyone looking for an easy going experience. Thank you for your assistance.Stephanie from Piscataway, NJ
