The following North Carolina State Veterans Cemetery Program requirements and operations information is written in general terms and should not be regarded nor taken as law or official regulation. The official law and rules guiding the State Veterans Cemetery Program is established under Article 8A, Chapter 65, General Statutes of North Carolina.
A free burial plot is provided at a North Carolina State Veterans Cemetary for eligible North Carolina veterans and their legal spouse (and dependents under certain conditions). Veterans must be discharged under honorable conditions and meet certain residency requirements.
Proof of Eligibility
Documentary evidence is required to provide proof and substantiate military service, residence, marriage and children as well as dependency disability. It is the responsibility of the veteran, his survivors or legal representative to furnish any evidence necessary to establish the eligibility of the veteran or the family member before interment in a North Carolina State Veterans Cemetery can be approved and accomplished.
Proof of Military Service
The primary document used to verify honorable military service is the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is more commonly called a discharge or "Report of Separation from Active Duty." Other forms of proof may be acceptable pending verification. Veterans who are unable to locate their DD Form 214 should contact the local veteran's office or the nearest state veterans service office for assistance in obtaining a replacement copy.
North Carolina Residency
Verification of residence at time of entry into military service is documented on the DD Form 214. Residence at time of death and 10-year residency can be verified by North Carolina tax records, voter registration, personal income tax or property tax, employment or educational records, official records from U.S. government, state or municipal agencies.
The primary source for verification of a spouse is a marriage certificate. Dependent children may be verified by a birth certificate or other legal documents, such as adoption papers.
Proof of Disability of an Adult Dependent
A letter is required from the dependent's physician certifying the dependent became permanently incapable of self-support because of a physical or mental disability before attaining the age of 18 years. Medical records and other documents will be considered only as supporting or corroborating documents.
General Information
There is no charge for the gravesite or necessary interment services for a qualified veteran. There is however, a burial fee for an eligible spouse or family member.
Only government furnished headstones will be authorized for use in State Veterans cemeteries. There is no charge for installing the headstones. Government headstones are ordered from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs after consulting with the surviving family members.
Graveside services are not permitted. Committal services will be held in the chapel or at a committal shelter on the cemetery grounds. Family members may return to the gravesite after the burial of the casket or urn is complete and the area is cleared of all equipment and materials.
Three state veterans cemeteries are in operation. They are located in Black Mountain (Buncombe County), Jacksonville (Onslow County) and Spring Lake (Cumberland County). For details, consult a cemetery superintendent.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
When Eric and Casey Norton left their parent's home to begin their own families, Gary and Jody Norton didn't suffer from an empty nest very long.
They just filled it back up.
For the last five years, 10 to 12 foster kids have called the Norton's wildlife retreat home, all of whom the Nortons remain in touch with to this day.
Each has been affected by the outdoor enthusiasm that exists at the Wellington home.
Gary got his passion for the outdoors from his father, Carl. His wife Jody learned to love it, too.
For the Norton's, most of the best family memories took place in the outdoors, where they fish, hunt and enjoy spending time together.
"I figured I best join in or else I got left home a lot," she joked.
"It's not about hunting. It's not about killing. It's about family," Gary commented.
Larry Georges, who has been with the family for three weeks, and Jason Farrell, who has been with the family for a year, are both experiencing that sense of family with the Nortons.
Georges recently went on his first fishing trip with the Nortons, where the group bagged a 21 pound, state-record rainbow trout.
Georges said he is hooked on fishing and can't wait to go again.
In addition to unbelievably big fish, many other record setting animals line the walls of the Norton's home and the nearby building that was at one time a museum.
The Nortons even have a buffalo that was taken from the herd on the movie "Dances with Wolves".
However, none of them can be found in the record books of Pope & Young or Boone & Crockett.
Gary said the family would rather keep the secret of great hunting in southeastern Utah to the locals.
"We've got a little paradise here and I'd just like to keep it that way," Norton commented.
Even collectors offering hundreds of thousands of dollars for the wildlife have been turned down by the Nortons.
"We just can't sell our memory book," Gary concluded.

Jennifer Trefelner: Boot auction Aug. 21 to help get shoes for little feet
It takes only a small spark to get a big fire going. In this case, it took only one firefighter's little idea to launch a large, successful campaign to provide shoes to hundreds of local children.
Three years ago firefighter and engineer Fred Barbera responded to a call at a child-care center, during which he noticed a child with holes in his shoes. Later that day, Fred and fellow firefighters purchased and delivered new shoes to the center.
That donation led to another and another and established the annual Lil' Feet program. Since 2009, more than 1,000 new pairs of shoes have been distributed to children ages 2 through 8 in St. Lucie County and 144 residents are on a waiting list to purchase shoes next month.
The program, orchestrated by the Fire Department, is paid for through sponsors, such as Seacoast National Bank, private donations and creative fundraising events, one of which is Aug. 21 at Rinelli's Yellowtail Grille in Fort Pierce.
Starting at 6:30 p.m., the Lil' Feet Boot Auction will feature a dozen authentic firefighter boot hand-painted with sunflowers, fish, kittens or adorned with jewels and sparkles. Popular Art Mundo artists including Lori McNamara, George Love, Ginny Piech Street, Anita Prentice, Shelly Polvere and many others, donated their time and talents over the past few months to transform the simple black boots into works of art.
Tickets for the event are $45 each and include a beef, fish or chicken dinner, drink ticket and cash bar. Guests can enjoy live jazz music while bidding on the boots — and other goodies — during a live and silent auction.
As of this week, only 30 tickets of the original 80 remain available.
The popularity of this event could be contributed to the boots being on display numerous Seacoast National Bank locations in our area, as well as at Art Mundo. The boots also served as donation receptacles, collecting several hundred dollars during July.
That money, along with other donations and proceeds from the boot auction, helps to pay for $20 vouchers to Payless Shoe Store that are given to children identified by the Early Learning Coalition of St. Lucie County. On specific days, these children visit local stores, pick out shoes and then get to explore fire engines and rescue trucks and meet firefighters.
"The 'Lil' Feet' program is a great example of how wonderful this community is, and how they support those in need," said Fire Chief Ron Parrish.
To contribute or attend the auction, contact Catherine Chaney with the St. Lucie County Fire District at 772-621-3333.
Happy Friday!

We got two blue butts donated to our FFA chapter and im taking one to the fair and she's coming to my house soon. I need to build a pen fast and don't have what I need! I have an old horse trailer and a truck rack so I was thinking I take the door off the trailer and set the truck rack at the opening. Of corse I will secure it and stuff. I also have 3 sheets of ply wood and a bunch of 2x4s. But does anyone have a better idea?

In 2001 the District of Columbia's water authority began using a new process to disinfect water, changing from chlorination to chloramination, to reduce the potentially carcinogenic effect of chlorination by-products. A side-effect that developed from this otherwise improved process was the release of large doses of lead into the drinking water supply, which had previously been bound to the water pipes by chlorine. Although now fixed, the original chloramination process released lead levels far higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's standards of no more than 15 parts per billion into the water supply.
During the over 3 year period, seventeen percent of D.C. homes had lead levels of 100 parts per billion, and 1% of homes had readings of 1000 parts per billion. A leading researcher at Simon Fraser University estimates that these children could have increased risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or conduct disorders, or a 4 to 7 point drop in IQ.

If you come across an email entitled "Baby please check my photo," or one bearing the subject "I miss you, Check my new video please," be sure not to click on the link it contains since it points to a malware-serving website.
Experts from security firm Bitdefender have analyzed this recent spam campaign and they inform that users are lured to the malicious websites with emails that read something like: "Hi baby please check my facebook profile, tnx. I miss you , check my new photo please: [link]"
A variant identified by EHN reads: "Hi baby please check my facebook profile, i send you friend request please add me from friends. I miss you , check my video please [link]"
The link appears to point to facebook.com, to the profile of a girl named Maria. However, in reality, users who click on it are taken to a website where a piece of Java code automatically downloads and installs a piece of malware detected as Trojan.JS.Downloader.BNM.
Once it finds itself on a computer, the Trojan – developed in JavaScript – starts collecting the victim's personal information.
Bitdefender products are capable of blocking every stage of this attack, including the spam email, the malicious website, and the malware.

PARISHVILLE - The Parishville-Hopkinton Central School After Prom Party Committee spent all school year running events and garnering funds to put together a safe way for upperclassmen to celebrate their post dance experience.
Now that the event has passed, committee member Anita Sochia says that the event was a major success.
We had about 82 to 90 students. Thats about what we usually get. We plan on a good majority of the students attending, she said. We raised about $7,000 (for the party.) We ran the different activities throughout the year, and we raised that to cover the costs. It was a little less than what we had hoped for but we still ran a great event for the kids. We definitely raised enough to do a good job for them this year.
Committee members held events ranging from a chicken barbecue and kids nights to a hypnotist night in order to garner sufficient money for the after prom activities.
The party ran from 11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m.
More than two dozen local businesses contributed to the success of the event. They included: Sergis Pizza, Jreck Subs, The Cactus Grill, Ponderosa Steakhouse, Lampheres Market, Kunoco in Parishville, Stewarts Ice Cream, Pepsi, Mountain Hollow Game Calls, Arbonne, Walmart, Kinney Drugs, Advanced Auto Parts, MVP Sports, Northern Music and Video, Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Cappello, Linden & Ladouceur, the PHCS PTSA, Seacomm Credit Union, NuMed, The Total Image Salon, B993, The Elks Lodge in Potsdam, the Amvets Post 265 in Parishville, Melvin Sweeney & the NY Corrections Officers & Police Benevolent Association.
We really do depend on the charity of the local businesses. Theyre always very good about contributing each year. We really couldnt do it without their support, Ms. Sochia said.
The night included three bounce houses, spray on tattoos, foosball, palm reading, a dart gun obstacle course and the most popular event of the night, the cash cube. There were a slew of other games and activities for the students that night as well.

Lead-in: Since the age of steamships northern Michigan has been a destination. People flocked here and left behind the grit of city life if only for a vacation. But in the last few decades more transients have made "up north" their permanent home. Quite a few seek a more authentic experience or a chance to remake themselves. But some find the allure of nature doesn't match their expectations. This week on Points North we'll explore the real and imagined in rural life. This show aired 27 January 2002. [mp3 audio]

Lead-in: For most of the 20th century, Americans migrated to cities for jobs. But in the seventies, demographers found people were leaving urban areas for the country, for no apparent reason. One anthropologist calls this phenomenon life-style migration. And he's been in Traverse City studying it. [Real Media]
Lead-in:This winter, there have been discussions about inviting people from New York City – people traumatized by the attacks of September 11th – to Northern Michigan for respite. The idea of the area as a place of refuge is not new. It's at least as old as the crumbling state hospital. And as Peter Payette reports, it continues to draw people here today. [Real Media]

Lorac Pro Palette Review & Swatches
Oh well hello Lorac Pro Palette wanna be my new best friend forever? The new Lorac Pro Palette ($42) is newly launched for Fall 2012 and includes sixteen fabulous shades of eyeshadow as well as a Mini Behind the Scenes Eye Shadow Primer.
I feel like it's Christmas! What a surprise for Fall to get such a wide range of eyeshadows in a single compact.
Of course, I instantly had a makeup boner (am I allowed to say that on here?) when I saw it pop up on Sephora. Lorac has a fairly great track record and releases high quality palettes again and again and again. I also feel like they offer enough variety in these palettes that they are worth picking up without worrying about dupes in past palettes you own or have tried from the brand in the past.
Let's take a look!
At a glance this was smaller than I thought it would be. The palette is about 7.5 inches across and and not quite 3 inches high. It's quite slim and made of a sturdy cardboard with a magnetic flip top closure. Inside is a full length mirror and the sixteen eye shadows that are smaller than a penny.
Don't let the size of the shadow wells fool you, each shade is 0.02 oz each (a MAC Eyeshadow is 0.05).
The palette is a mix of matte and shimmer finishes. I like that Lorac organized them in a way that the mattes are on a single line and the shimmers on the other.
Lorac has a range of different eyeshadows in their palettes. Some are light and silky with subtle pigmentation where as others pack more of a punch. In this case, the Pro Palette packs the heat. Unlike Lorac's more traditional silky formula these are heavily pigmented shades. The mattes are soft, silky, and apply easily without being dry or patchy during application. Even I can get on board with this matte finish. The shimmer shades are more metallic-like without heavy glitter or sparkle. They have a thicker velvety texture that applies like melted butter. I'm happy to report every single shade has a brilliant formula. I think one of the worst things about palettes is sometimes getting a selection of shades that have a hit or miss formula. You get sixteen shades and proceed to love the formula on say six but the others are a bust. Not the case with the Lorac Pro Palette, all the shades have a brilliant formula across the board.
I think maybe $42 might have folks second guessing if they'd like to try this palette. It's typically not what you'd expect in a Fall Collection and feels more Holiday-ish in price and selection. However, justify the cost because you're getting a TON of product here with good quality across the board. You won't be disappointed.
A big yay from me.
Muse Approved for purchase.
A super value, plenty of shades to choose from, and a great formula should secure a spot in your stash for the Lorac Pro Palette.

7/20/12 12:43 Louise:
Wow! I originally passed on this because of the apparent small size of the shadows. 0.08 is a really nice size! The pigmentation is amazing; thanks for the great swatches! Wishlisted.
7/20/12 12:49 Joyce:
Oh wow look at the pigmentation! I certainly was not expecting that. To be honest, I had the opposite reaction as you when I saw the palette on Sephora. It looked so-so, cheap, and a bit unnecessary. Now that I see real-life photos, I can see why it's called a Pro palette. It has just about every neutral shade you would need for a professional kit.
I'll probably be picking this one up and putting my UD Naked palette back on the shelf 😛
7/20/12 12:50 Cj:
Oh god 'makeup boner' you are too much muse!
I'm thinking of getting the cream eyeliner you posted about a little while ago, I usurally stick with pencil or liquid but that one looks really good!
7/20/12 13:04 Littlecreek:
Makeup boner….would that be a moner?
Palette looks fantastic. I love it when I can look at a palette and see myself using every shade.
7/20/12 13:08 Stacie:
Yay! I'm so glad I finally got to read this. This looks amazing! *grabs car keys and sprints for the door*
7/20/12 13:13 Caitlin:
Oh. Like that palette a lot. Love the mix of shimmer and matte shades, especially if the mattes really have a great formula. Is it just me, or is the color they are calling taupe really not taupe at all? Looks like just a straight up milk-chocolate brown.
Oh. My. God. I just stopped by this post to look at the shadows without any intention of actually buying the palette, but your swatches alone convinced me that I have to have this palette. Looks like I'll be practicing applying shadow to my crease and then moving on to smokey eyes. I'm usually pretty skittish around eye shadows, but I'll add this to the palettes I own and rarely use. lol And what's up with taupe being the flattest, most boring shade (first impression-wise) in the whole shebang?! I L-O-V-E taupes, but this one makes me kinda sad.
7/20/12 13:34 Ashley:
7/20/12 13:47 Larie:
Wow, I'm stunned by the pigmentation of the shadows! I also love the mix of shimmers and mattes, and the fact that they are each on their own line. Putting this on the wishlist!
7/20/12 14:40 Linda:
Sick palette. I so want this.
7/20/12 15:33 Becca @ The Beauty Sample:
Whoa…those shadows look so rich and pigmented and soft that they quite LITERALLY look like cream shadows in the swatch photos–especially those dark shimmers in the first set…am I the only one?!?
7/20/12 16:24 Nesita:
You're definitely not the only one!
7/20/12 15:45 kharanya:
Nice palette, pity I pretty much have every colour in here already. It looks much better than the UD Naked Palette tbh, I love that it contains so many mattes! I've never tried anything from LORAC before, but man, I wish I could justify buying this. Unfortunately, I pretty much only wear makeup on weekends (when I leave the house) and I have enough stuff as it is.
7/20/12 16:22 Musebeliever:
the eyeshadows look amazing and you look gorgeous Muse !
7/20/12 16:26 Nesita:
OMG, the shadows on this palette look amazing! If I didn't already own Naked I'd probably go for this one, I love the selection of mattes they choose.
7/20/12 16:32 GREG'S girl!!!:
I luv it!!! I love your whole look in this!! Eyes, cheeks, and Lips!! I just got on board but I luv both you…AND CJ!! Ain't nothing like REAL FOLKS!!
7/24/12 11:30 Cj:
:O! They love me! They really love me!! *happy tears*
OMG – lol my tongues out of my mouth. ME WANT!!
I love how it has so many mattes, and they have such good quality.
7/20/12 19:10 Cindy:
Don't worry, I got a makeup boner after this post.
7/20/12 19:47 Charlotte:
Thanks for mentioning the size, I have only seen it online and it would have been a huge shock to order it and see it is much smaller than it appeared. The shadows themselves do look really nice.
7/20/12 19:57 Tiffany Martin:
The pigmentation looks amazing. I'm thrilled, this deceptively boring set is actually really special.
7/20/12 23:48 Quinctia:
Lorac's got great shadows! I wish they'd release a (pressed) palette with some more brights/duochromes, because I'd like to buy more of their stuff…but I need more neutrals like I need another hole in the head. I have more neutrals than I know what to do with. I don't even wear them that much! I wore UD Fishnet as my main lid color today, for crying out loud.
Please, Lorac, let me give you money, lol!
7/21/12 0:11 Christine:
Ahaha, Muse you crack me up, "makeup boner."
I was just giving myself a little pep talk about how I do *not* need anymore palettes w/ neutrals & then I saw the swatches & forgot what I was talking to myself about… Oops :P.
7/21/12 8:32 JenJ:
This is pure awesomeness! *throws glitta*
7/21/12 10:41 Kiss & Make-up:
Do I want it? Sure! A girl can never own too much make-up Do I need it? Nope. These are all colors I already have plenty of. I like how this palette is a mix of matte and shimmery, though.
7/21/12 11:34 eldi:
those are very nice colors and look very very pigmented..
7/21/12 12:56 Cas:
I've never purchased anything from Lorac, but after reading this post I'm in lust with this palette! I need it bad! Thank you so much Muse! As always you make my decisions with makeup purchases easy!
7/21/12 15:33 Sarah S.:
Wowza, these look amazingly pigmented!
7/21/12 21:21 Phyrra:
You're right, the colors do seem more winter than fall, but the quality looks nice.
7/22/12 1:17 Cat G:
This is so much better than my first impression of it! Looks great!
7/22/12 2:40 Lacey J.:
Wow. I saw this on sephora.com and almost ordered it, but I thought about it and I already have like all of these colors! LOL. It's so sad when you realize you can't justify buying something. In my head I am like WOW THIS WOULD BE SO GREAT FOR TRAVEL or on the go when I don't have enough time to put on makeup in the morning and I have to put it on at work. LOL. yes at work. I work at a shelter that needs to be staffed 24/7 and I work really weird hours (is that justification enough?) I already own 2 naked palettes and a few too faced palettes that I pack with me on my rush to work but boy can I imagine grabbing this on my way out the door.
It just has a wider variety of color. All the basics are their plus their are alot more matte options. I almost want to buy my sis this palette too. I just recently bought her the Naked 2 Palette and she is really enjoying it. I just am such a huge fan of grab and go palettes. I rarely buy singles anymore. Palettes are the way to go.
That garnet and purple are calling my name. Too bad they don't have an olive green. My sis loves wearable greens.
7/23/12 10:10 Jason:
I got to play around with it at work recently… but .02 worth of eyeshadow is kind of a downer for something that could even put the naked pallets to shame. Will I still be purchasing… DUH!
7/23/12 16:18 Aquahartz:
Initialy i thought there are a few redundancies here, but thecolour payoff n pigmentation.. I take that back. I want this pallette!
7/28/12 2:22 Aida:
I bought this today (well, I guess I should say yesterday, it's a little after 1am here) and I'm completely smitten with it. I was thinking about getting it, but I wanted to wait a while, because I had purchased the Unzipped palette less than a week ago. Well, as soon as I saw the swatches on your blog, that was it. I got the push I needed and the rest is history. This palette is really lovely. As much as I love Unzipped, I am glad to have a palette from LORAC with deeper, richer colors and more mattes than I would ever need or use :). So thanks for the great post, you helped me make up my mind :). Everything is exactly how you described it, buttery soft shadows across the board. It's a steal :).
7/31/12 5:38 Jackie:
hooooly crap. dowantdowantdowant
8/3/12 13:41 liz:
Looks really pretty. How does this compare with Urban Decay/s Nakeds?
8/12/12 13:05 care (@CareJustCares):
I've currently got 2 quads and the CD2 palette from LORAC .. all of which I love – having never tried anything from the line previously, I have been well impressed. I have been holding back from purchasing this because I hadn't seen enough to convince me … knew I might want it! … I am also wanting the new Stila palette ( in the light ) … I may just have to get both … The Pro Palette is ….definitely fodder for a makeup boner!! and it's your blog ..lol … say it like it is sister! lol … Thank you so much for another great review … There are only a couple of blogs that I read on a day to day basis … yours is one of them! oxox Care
8/24/12 15:29 KatyZ:
Thank you Muse for this wonderful review, I picked this up yesterday and I love it! The formula is so creamy and soft for these eyeshadows, cant wait to experiment some more with it!
9/7/12 1:12 Aging_Beauty:
9/7/12 18:00 Sarah:
Hello Muse I'm sorry for commenting on your old posts, but I really want to ask this because I need a bit of advice. Which one should you think I get, UD's Naked Palette 1, or 2, or this? Considering the fact that I only use makeup occasionally and, well, I'm still a beginner in using makeup 😀
And anyway, thank you for this beautiful and through review of Lorac Pro Makeup Palette x
9/29/12 23:35 BooBooNinja:
That is TINY! What are the dimensions of each eyeshadow?
10/11/12 4:18 amy:
I don't *need* this, but I really want it! I have way too many neutrals (matte & shimmer), but that deep purple shade… Plus, all the mattes would be perfect companions to all my shimmery LORAC palettes; my OCD prevents me from "mixing" brands.
10/14/12 2:00 ara:
Beautiful swatches! I love both matte and shimmer. I'm thinking of getting either this, the naked 1 or the naked 2 palette. Which would you recommend??
11/15/12 19:29 Renee:
Hi Muse, I recently received this palette BNIB and mine has 9 shimmers and 7 mattes. The "WHITE" shadow on the top row is a shimmer and not a matte. It's subtle but still very obvious. This goes against all the reviews I've seen online for this palette, which all claim the top row is entirely matte. Is your "WHITE" definitely a matte? Perhaps Lorac decided to make a small change?

As the release date of her brand new album, "Unapologetic," is drawing near, Rihanna is also cooking up another major surprise for her fans: a brand new video, for the leading single off the album, "Diamonds."
Below is a behind the scenes look at the video obtained by MTV; you really can't tell much of the concept behind the clip from it but one thing is sure: it's going to be edgy.
Rihanna is seen rocking a fierce, shaved on the side 'do and some equally fierce fashion. In one scene in particular, there's a burning car and the choreography resembles a fight.
In another shot, Rihanna is seen singing in the desert, presumably for her long lost love.
"Unapologetic" will be out on November 19, featuring some surprise collaborations, including one with Chris Brown. It will be followed by a worldwide tour.

OCZ Release Flash Drives Designed For Vista ReadyBoost
"OCZ Technology Group, today announced an exciting new addition to its award-winning lineup of flash drives. VBoost USB 2.0 Flash Drives are optimized for Windows Vista ReadyBoost."
Published: 2nd May 2007 | Source: OCZ Technology |
OCZ Release Flash Drives Designed For Vista ReadyBoost
OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today announced an exciting new addition to its award-winning lineup of flash drives. VBoost USB 2.0 Flash Drives are optimized for Windows® Vista™ ReadyBoost™. Vista ReadyBoost enables the OCZ VBoost to double as supplemental cache memory for faster retrieval and storage of system data and applications. By providing an instant supply of additional memory, this drive is a cost-effective alternative to expensive RAM upgrades.
As Microsoft's next generation operating system, Vista has many new features that enhance the experience of users accustomed to XP's look and feel. As consumers make the switch to Vista, it is beneficial for users to expand on compatible accessories and take full advantage of what Vista has to offer. Here the VBoost prevails, not only by acting as a high-capacity storage device, but by supporting ReadyBoost to impact application loading and closing time.
|"OCZ is pleased to release the sleek and cap-less VBoost USB drive, which is designed not only to be an exceptional USB flash drive but also for consumers looking to take advantage of the benefits of ReadyBoost," said Alex Mei, Executive VP of OCZ Technology Group. "The VBoost drive is optimized for fast easy access and increases system performance when paired with the Microsoft Windows Vista ReadyBoost feature."
Unlike flash drives with easy-to-lose caps, the VBoost features a retractable USB key that is unsheathed it from its housing with the click of a switch. Typical removable caps may get lost and leave the connector plug exposed to possible damage, but the VBoost design eliminates the possibility of losing the cap along with providing protection. Like all OCZ flash drives, portability and size is a defining factor; users are able to operate adjacent USB ports without needing to unplug other peripherals.
The VBoost flash drive is available in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacities to truly personalize the size needed for maximum ReadyBoost execution and desired increase in system responsiveness. Although OCZ offers a full line of upgrade memory modules for Vista desktops, the VBoost flash drive family is an effective stand-in and is backed by a 3 year warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
For more information on the VBoost Flash Drive, please visit our product page here.

Pac-12 football: Stanford, ASU players compliment Utes
Los Angeles • His 34 wins in three seasons are evidence that he knows football, but@CoachDavidShaw also has some sage thoughts on social media.
Shaw said he and his staff not only monitor their players' Twitter feeds, but that he stresses the importance of keeping some aspects of their life out of the digital realm. For their sanity's sake.
Social media has been "the best and worst thing for a lot of young people," he said Thursday in the lobby of Paramount Theater, as reporters tweeted his thoughts. "There's such potential for so much damage to be inflicted on other people, so much damage to be self-inflicted, by what is done and said on social media."
He's not only worried about the Cardinal program getting a black eye, but about the overall negativity in the world. Why go on Twitter to have a personal conversation or to share minor gripes, Shaw wonders?
"Let's not let the world in on every single thing that goes on in your life," he said. "I try to remind [players] sometimes. I have to tell them: Myself included, our day-to-day lives are not that interesting. Nobody needs to know what I'm doing every 10 minutes."
L.A.'s new kings
UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley said he saw few Los Angeles residents wearing blue when he arrived a few years back. That's partly what compelled him to become a Bruin.
"Everybody can go to Alabama and just be another player," he said. "I wanted to be a part of something special."
He's on the verge of doing just that with Heisman buzz surrounding himself and linebacker/running back teammates Myles Jack but head coach Jim Mora said Thursday that his staff tries to emphasize that they've done nothing yet.
Exhibit A: They're 0-3 against Stanford. Exhibit B: They haven't won a Pac-12 championship.
Incognito in Seattle
New Washington coach Chris Petersen said he never felt like he had to leave Boise State "the grass isn't always greener," he reasoned but eventually felt like "growing and stretching myself a little bit."
To do that, he had to expose himself to the likes of Pac-12 media.
But, ironically, the notoriously spotlight-averse Petersen said he's actually more under the radar when he walks the streets of Seattle than when he was in Boise, where everybody knew his face.
Graham's O is cracking good
Arizona State head coach Todd Graham said his offensive line is more physical, his skill players are faster, and his team's as close-knit as he's been around.
Altogether, "This is the best offensive team I've ever coached."
On the other side of the ball, though, the Sun Devils lose nine starters. It was no surprise that of all Pac-12 teams, they were the only one without a representative from the defense.
Utah taught Stanford a lesson
Stanford safety Jordan Richards said last year's loss to Utah showed the Cardinal that "days off" are not an option. Competing for a championship involves "being 1-0 on every Saturday."
Ivy League of the West and all, Stanford should've already known that. But they simply failed to make tackles as Utah hit them with a flurry of first-half swing passes.
"That should be 2-, 3-, 4-yard gains, and when you miss a tackle it becomes nine, 10, 12, 13, and the chains just move down the field," he said.
Wilson has Elite company
While both served as counselors at the prestigious Elite 11 camp for the nation's top prep quarterbacks in Oregon earlier this month, Travis Wilson and Oregon State's Sean Mannion became fast friends.
The 6-foot-5 Mannion said he'd already met Wilson after games, he was taken aback to see up-close how much shorter he was than Wilson, listed at 6-foot-6.
Asked to describe Wilson's game, Mannion said:
"He's a real good runner, real good athlete, and he's got a strong arm, too. I only see him getting better and better from this point on."
Douglas has high praise for Utes
Asked about the competitiveness of the Pac-12 South with USC on the rise and UCLA among the favorites to reach the first-ever college football playoff, Arizona State offensive lineman Jamil Douglas inserted the Utes into the discussion.
"Like you said, you've got UCLA, USC, us, and don't count Utah out," he said. "They're good as well."
Douglas noted that Utah beat Stanford, who beat the Sun Devils in the Pac-12 Championship Game, and he credited Kyle Whittingham's defense.

Syfy Standing Behind 'Caprica' For 'The Long Haul'
Mark Stern, Syfy's EVP of original programming, told Airlock Alpha that the cable net is committed to the show "for the long haul."
Stern says Syfy wasn't expecting the 'Battlestar Galactica' prequel series to become a hit right out of the gate, not even with fans of Ron Moore's celebrated sci-fi show.
"It's not 'Battlestar Galactica,' it's its own animal. And we definitely recognize that it's going to find its audience and it's going to grow its audience," he said.
'Caprica's January premiere reeled in only 1.6 million viewers, but the low turnout was expected, since the two-hour pilot was released on DVD last fall and had also been streaming for free online since December. But the low ratings continued, with the series' second and third episodes pulling in fewer than 1.4 million viewers each (less than 'Swamp Loggers', as our friends at Buddy TV have pointed out.)
But Stern assures fans that Syfy is "certainly not sharpening the axe by any stretch of the imagination." Still, the network has no plans to boost its marketing push for the show. Instead, Stern says 'Caprica' will likely gain more viewers as the story gains momentum and continues to evolve. He said the pace would pick up with the March 5 arrival of 'Buffy' alum James Marsters as terrorist leader Barnabus Greeley.
Stern promised the show would "tighten up the plotting" with upcoming episodes, which doesn't sound like a bad idea. I've been split on the two eps to air beyond the pilot; they've offered some great acting, intriguing ideas, amazing set design and cinematography, but they've also felt slow and shapeless. 'Caprica' has a lot of potential, and I'm not about to abandon ship only two episodes into the first season.
So what's next for 'Caprica'? Stern didn't mention the rumored 'Final Five' arc we told you about last week, but he did say characters would soon be hopping into Vipers to visit other worlds like Gemenon and Tauron. But don't expect to see any 'BSG'-style space battles. Instead, 'Caprica' will carry on the 'BSG' tradition by continuing to explore themes of identity, loss, fear, and robot angst.
The show will take a mid-season break in March. Stern said Syfy would probably pair 'Caprica' up with a new series when it returns in the summer, another unexpected show of faith for a complex drama that deserves some time to find its footing.

Arrest: Former Northgate wrestler charged in party stabbing incidentBy JOHN A. WINTERS
A former wrestler for Northgate High School was jailed Friday on aggravated assault charges stemming from a stabbing that occurred at a party earlier this month, according to Coweta County Jail records.
Braxtin Smith Ward, 18, was charged with stabbing another individual, authorities said. He was later released on a $10,000 signature bond, according to jail records. Ward graduated from Northgate in May.
"Shots were fired, and we found shotgun shells on the ground, as well as a kitchen knife with blood on it," the major said.
Investigators were told by Torres Johnson, who lived there, the party "got out of control and shots were fired," Yarbrough said. About 20 people were involved, including students and former students. Johnson is a football and basketball player at Northgate.
Later that night, authorities got a call from Piedmont Newnan Hospital about a stabbing victim at the hospital. The victim, Recardo Key, 19, was stabbed in the chest, but his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Yarbrough said. "We interviewed Mr. Key and went from there."
Investigators also are considering charges against those who fired shots, he said, adding "We have an idea who fired it and are continuing that investigation."
The shotgun was fired apparently in an attempt to disperse the crowd, the major said.

2 Responses to Faculty Opening at Memphis Theological Seminary
I am interested in the position to teach Church History. I am a Roman Catholic, a retired attorney, and have taught 2 theological Courses at Loyola University. The courses are "Religion and Law" and "Christology". In Religion and Law, a course I developed, looked at major social-legal issues, the relevance of religion and religious values to those issues. It was a critical thinking course which took into account the various religions of the students and for those who professed no religion, an established secular ethical system of their choice. The second course, was an introductory course on the historical development of Christian theology, its fundamental teachings and the divergent views of Christian religions or churches. The difficult theological issues and great disputes were critically examined in an objective, probing, realistic manner. The student responses to both course were overwhelming positive, including from the non-Christian students.
My youngest son, who has been stationed overseas since 1998 was transferred to Millington, TN and we have decided to move there to be close to him, his wife and one of our granddaughters. So I am looking to resume teaching theology at the University and Graduate levels.
I will provide more information if you are interested in exploring the possibility of my teaching at the Memphis Theological Seminary.
Thank you,

Feds: Businessman Tried To Ship Banned Infrared Camera To Pakistan

(CBS) — A Bolingbrook businessman faces a decade in prison and a $1 million fine for allegedly trying to ship an infrared camera to Pakistan.
Bilal Ahmed, 33, is free on $100,000 bond and charged with altering paperwork so he could ship the infrared camera to Pakistan.
The manufacturer says the FLIR HRC U unit can spot an infiltrator 12 miles away in the dark and tell what sort of a weapon he's carrying.
Harvard's Belfer center says the U.S. has given Pakistan $1.6 billion in military aid as well as some weaponry. But export of the infrared camera is banned at this time.

Cops Raid Home Without Warrant

April 2, 2010
While the details surrounding this case are unclear, according to the law, in some states, "bail enforcement agents," or bounty hunters, can enter a home without a warrant, but only if it's the home of the fugitive they are trying to apprehend. Under the 4th amendment, police need probable cause and a search warrant to enter private homes. Only in police states and fascist dictatorships is this not the case.

very easy, and delicious varation on the "straight" recipe.flag if inappropriate
Wow. We thought this was fantastic. I substituted tahini because it was on-hand and didn't put in the star anise, because it wasn't-- but otherwise followed to a t. It was great. An excellent variation on normal hummus with a great kick from the ginger.flag if inappropriate
Too much ginger, it was overpowering. IF I make it again, and I am as yet undecided, I would cut that in half at least. I don't see it as a real improvement over a traditional recipe.flag if inappropriate
Could not find (in N.C.) star anise or the cashew butter & forgot to buy the chili garlic sce. It is still excellent with tahini, some chili powder and fresh garlic!flag if inappropriate
I've made this twice and really enjoyed it both times. Eveyone who had it loved it.flag if inappropriate
Use tahini in place of the cashew butter, the flavor will be much richer and more traditional (btw - tahini is a paste made from crushed sesame seeds and can be found in asian stores and/or middle eastern stores).flag if inappropriate
A fantastic variation on hummus. I freshly ground the star anise. It's a surprising addition. A definite keeper.flag if inappropriate
This was perfect. Served with a good bottle of Champagne for New Year's when people first arrived. Everyone raved.flag if inappropriate

The IRS recently released its place to place migration data for 2011. This data is reported at the county and state level, but I process it to enable analysis at the metro area level, which is something you rarely see. This is one of the many data sets available in my Telestrian system.
I've been playing around with it a bit and wanted to show a few trends. The first is slowing net out-migration to the suburbs, which is something I've highlighted before. Here's a chart of net migration of people from the core county* to suburban counties in large Midwestern metro areas from 1995 to 2011 (the 1996 data is people who moved between 1995 and 1996):
I normalized this across metros by plotting the data as indexes. You'll see that the trend was up, particularly during the housing madness, then turned south when the bust happened. All of these metros except Detroit have lower levels out net suburban out-migration today. Some of them are down to around only 25% of their 1995 value, and it's not inconceivable they could see reversing migration if the trend continues. Keep in mind this is county level data, not city.
I decided to look also specifically at in-migration, people moving from a suburban county to a core county. That would help us see if the change is a result of declining out-migration or if more people are actually moving back closer to the center.
We do see that there's been an increase in migration to core counties, though nothing of the magnitude of the net change. But there has been some modest increase in the numbers moving in. However, look closely: the second highest increase is Detroit – Wayne County, MI. So we can't reflexively treat this as a pure sign of core health.
A Closer Look at the Twin Cities
Minneapolis-St. Paul had the biggest collapse in net suburban migration and the biggest increase in in-migration. I wanted to show the absolute levels where to give you a feel for what's going on. This is an interesting case. Since these are twin cities and there's no standard government definition of core county, I treat both Hennepin and Ramsey Counties as core counties. (Movements between them don't count as suburban migration in or out). This makes the MSP case a bit different. But with that caveat, here's the out-migration:
We see the rise and then fall, with the net result that people moving outwards has returned to the levels of the mid-90s, but hasn't dropped much below that. Here's in inbound:
Here we have close to a 50% increase in inbound migration from the suburban counties. The major rise seems to have paralleled the housing collapse, which could indicate people forced to move closer into the core for rentals because of foreclosure. The Twin Cities actually got hit hard in the exurbs during the bust, so it's not surprising to see a change there. As housing markets normalize, it will be interesting to watch where this pattern goes.
Cleveland's Great Divide
I've heard some people say that Cleveland is really the demarcation point between Chicago's sphere of influence and New York's, and that the West Side of Cleveland orients towards Chicago and the East Side towards New York. I can't do an East vs. West Side comparison, but I did want to see how Cleveland's migration patterns have changed with these two megacities over time. First let's take a look at gross migration, or the total number of people moving in both directions between Cleveland and these cities. Gross migration is very important because two places could both have net migration of say 0, but one city pair might actually have nobody moving in either direction and the other pair might have 50,000 people moving in and 50,000 people moving out. The net value can obscure some of the most important human capital ties between cities:
As we see, Cleveland used to have greater church with Chicago, but now it is more equally balanced between the cities. Although there's a slight uptick with New York, it appears mostly a decline vs. Chicago. This makes sense because as I've documented, it was Chicago that really boomed in the 90s, but suffered a lost decade in the 2000s.
Here's the net migration:
This is interesting. Cleveland has experienced a net loss of people to Chicago every single year, whereas it actually attracted people on a net basis from New York. Is this because of lots of people moving to Chicago or fewer people moving from Chicago? I decided to take a look specifically at the in-migration:
Over this period of time, the two cities were actually very comparable in terms of how many people moved to Cleveland – almost equal in fact. So there must be something going on with out-migration. But rather than go that direction, I want to show another chart of in-migration, this time looking at income instead of people.
Here we see that although there's a fairly balanced inflow of people from both megacities, Chicago is sending much more income to Cleveland. In a couple years there were big spikes, maybe indicating some high income movers. Things have evened out in the last few years, but historically Cleveland has been importing more income from Chitown than NYC.
This is just a quick look, but it shows you the type of relationship information between cities that can be picked apart a bit using this data. It was in part research based on this that led Cleveland State University to establish its Center for Population Dynamics with Richey Piiparinen to help Cleveland better understand its human capital flows in more detail. With the criticality of talent and human capital to urban success, understanding this with regards to your city is a must.
* Core for St. Louis is city+St. Louis County. Core for MSP is Hennepin+Ramsey Counties
