When you are investing in real estate the mantra is, "location, location, location." When it comes to an investment in marketing―and marketing is an investment―timing can make all the difference. Whether you are introducing a new product, opening the doors to a new business or simply wanting to promote existing products and services, a successful public relations and marketing campaign requires planning and coordination.
What many don't realize is, to secure publicity for a company event or promotion it must first be considered newsworthy (and while it may seem newsworthy to a business owner, the media may not see it that way). Secondly, you must allow enough lead time to alert the media prior to their deadlines. Even daily and weekly publications and news shows plan stories and news segments weeks in advance; and editors of monthly publications are working on issues as much as three to six months before going to print. Allowing enough time in advance helps increase the possibility of traditional press coverage.
Landing press can provide a great boost to your business; and at the very least a boost to your credibility (and SEO). But to maximize public relations efforts, the additional benefits come in the follow-up with the marketing effort. If you are promoting an expansion of services, make sure your website is updated with the new information, have an email ready to send off to your database of customers and posts on your Facebook and Twitter pages.
You need to develop an integrated marketing campaign where public relations works hand-in-hand with advertising and promotional activities to convey the message of your company and/or product. Public relations can bring your story to life, build credibility and help increase visibility; while advertising helps build brand awareness and sells specifics, promotional efforts grab attention and generate buzz.
Under the direction and inspiration of Steve Jobs, Apple demonstrated some of the best practices in brand marketing and public relations. Jobs understood the art of a coordinated campaign and the results it could achieve.
A new product introduction from Apple is often unveiled on-stage in a theater of sorts packed with journalists, industry bloggers and technology insiders. The company typically avoids industry trade shows, opting to create their own events in the weeks prior. A product launch and publicity campaign is accompanied by traditional print, broadcast and outdoor ads, along with in-store displays and signage.
Apple's website is poised for announcements with supportive pages and videos providing a firsthand look at their latest and greatest. Of course, emails are sent to a finely-tuned database prior to launch day, encouraging customers to get online to buy. An outreach of direct and indirect advertising orchestrated with public relations not only creates awareness and buzz, it creates demand. Apple's seamless multi-channel, multi-touch approach demonstrates one of the best and most integrated examples for a successful marketing formula.
While most marketing budgets are significantly more limited than Apple's, advance planning and coordination on any budget can still make or break the impact.

In a rant for the ages and what can be expected of him if some publisher buys his book or a production company wants to do a reality show with him, Jon Gosselin is going off on Kate Gosselin tonight on Couple's Therapy. Is it going to make me watch? Like I would spend an hour of my night watching Taylor Armstrong and Farrah Abraham compete to see who can try and make actual wet tears. Do they try and cry before the opening credits even finish? They should have an I can cry longer than you can contest. Anyway, I digress. Jon didn't do himself any favors when it comes to favors from Kate or a good relationship at any point in the foreseeable future.
She can go and fu**ing die. There's your honest depiction of Kate Gosselin. So f**k it. Piece of fu**ing s**t. What a shi**y human being." And this is just what he thinks of her new hair style. Can you imagine what he thinks of her personally?

Chic Holden gets Realtors' Leadership Award
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 9:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 9:17 p.m.
Charles "Chic" Holden Jr. said he knew something was up when two tables full of friends and family, including some from out of state, showed up at the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors Installation and Awards Banquet on Wednesday night.
Holden received the 2012 James Parrish Community Leadership Award from GACAR for volunteer work and involvement in business and community organizations.
It turns out the association was just getting started, as GACAR held a special recognition for Holden's 40 years of service as the board attorney.
Gene Ritch, who himself was honored by the National Association of Realtors on Wednesday as a Realtor Emeritus for 40 years of membership, said that Holden's influence has been a lack of litigation in the local real estate industry compared with other areas of the state.
Real estate lawyer Melissa Murphy said she latched onto Holden as a mentor while she was in law school.
"This was a man who could show how to be a lawyer, how to be a member of the community, how to treat clients, how to treat other lawyers professionally, how to treat your profession," she said.
Newly installed GACAR President Greta Rice presented a resolution of appreciation declaring "Chic Holden Day."
"This is just so over the top, guys," Holden said as he held a plaque with the resolution.
Other awards announced Wednesday night included:
Margaret Posey of Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish Realtors was named 2012 Realtor of the Year. The award is selected based on ethics, character and support of GACAR and the real estate profession. Posey has served on numerous board and committees for GACAR.
Todd Rainsberger of Coldwell Banker Commercial M.M. Parrish Realtors was recognized for being named one of 40 recipients nationally to receive the NAR's 2012 National Commercial Award.
A Wall of Honor plaque was unveiled to recognize successful Realtors who have contributed to the history of GACAR and the community, described as a Hall of Fame of local real estate. Honorees were Fred Arnold, Tom Dobson, John Merrill, Jim Parrish, M. Parrish and Pat Polopolous.
Linda Webb of First American Title Insurance Company was named Business Partner of the Year for her work in GACAR.
Alarion Bank received the first Above and Beyond Award for donating time and money to sponsor GACAR events.
Patti Moser received the Tom Dobson Past President Award for a past president who has remained active in GACAR. Moser was also installed as president of the Multiple Listings Service. She was not in attendance since she was at a function as the newly appointed federal action political coordinator for the NAR.
Among awards for contributions to the Realtors Political Action Committee, Thomas McIntosh of Prudential Trend Realty was named to the Presidents Circle for contributing to NAR-supported representatives and senators.
Campus USA Credit Union received the Commercial Business Partner of the Year Award for support to the industry.
Mike Ryals of Bosshardt Realty Services was recognized as Dean of Commercial Real Estate for outstanding overall contributions.
Perry Pursell of Coldwell Banker Commercial M.M. Parrish Realtors was recognized as winner of the Ironman Award for 10 years of service as a commercial Realtor.

The delay to the review that could see Epsom and St Helier hospitals' accident and emergency (A&E) departments close is to allow for further consultation, health bosses have said.
Yesterday the Better Services, Better Value (BSBV) review was due to make a decision and subsequent announcement on which hospitals would face the cuts.
But it did not make a decision or announcement, and caused anger among concerned residents for not explaining what was happening.
A statement released by BSBV in the past half an hour has said: "No decisions have been made. Clinicians in South West London are still discussing what options would be best to improve health services in the local area. The Programme Board met yesterday to review progress and agreed to allow more time to engage and talk to local people and stakeholders in Surrey and elsewhere."
"We have been advised that our engagement in Surrey to date is in line with what has been done similar NHS service change programmes.
"But we have listened to the concerns expressed by Surrey stakeholders and we agree we could do more, especially given that we would not be able to go to consultation in any case until after the local election purdah period."

I am moving some business websites from a company I was using previously which provided me with a VPS.
Now I don't know what to use. Recommendations for hosting options? All the reviews I can find look like they are planted.
I'm currently using 2.2G on disk. My visits are normally around 5k / month but have spiked as high as 17k. At an average of ~50Kb bandwidth per hit that should be about 250Mb / month. The number of visitors is growing and tends to be higher during certain seasons.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
P.S. I see that CocoaHost has a very inexpensive VPS plan, anyone have experience with them?
Your disk space and data transfer requirements are relatively small/modest so a decent shared hosting plan with a quality web host should suffice.
Are you running any intensive server side scripts at all?What's your monthly budget for hosting?What country would you want the servers to be in?What's more important to you, price or quality?
Not all lot of intensive server scripts, just several WP blogs and a Drupal CMS. Monthly budget ~$10.Anywhere located in North America would probably be goodPrice is important, quality doesn't have to be seamless, but downtime could be harmful since there are paying advertisers on the site. Also, some posts get moderate "surges" of visits which might be a probably on really cheap hosting plans.
Thanks again
If you are running advertisements on websites, you should pay attention to the quality of hosting. Even small, but repeated downtimes can harm your revenues. Also, Drupal is known as using more system resources. For WordPress blogs, if you are choosing wrong theme, plugins, they can use more system resources too.
If you had a VPS before, do you know the configuration of that VPS? How many CPU, RAM? How about the disk array configuration? How about the highest server load?
Monthly budget ~$10.
I would have thought that was a bit low for a managed VPS. Another similar thread to this a couple of weeks ago said it costs the hosts something like $8 a month to provide cpanel.
Why are you leaving your other hosts?
I was thinking the VPS would be unmanaged, maybe I'm not understanding what the difference is.
I'm leaving the other provider because they are going out of business.
I'm leaving the other provider because they are going out of business.
Ok that is interesting.
I have a managed VPS and I have to setup the websites, DNS and tweek the VPS settings but if I get any problems they are there to help me out. The supplier looks after the basic running of the VPS, again I can install/upgrade software but as before if I have a problem they are there to help. The setting up of websites, tweeking etc. is done through cpanel.I assume you were with a managed VPS before and so you know what was envolved with that.
As I understand it an unmanaged VPS means you have to do everything via commands as you are unlikely to get a control panel and so you need to be good with Linux - if you are getting a Linux style server. You then need to manage the software updates which in my case a lot are automatically done by cpanel. I think you will have to spend more time looking after the server but what happens if something goes wrong while you are asleep or on holiday?I know some people have an unmanaged server and then pay somebody to manage it but I would have thought that would be more expensive than getting a managed server.
Hope your Drupal is set up correctly, I recently migrated a site away from Drupal to a more flexible CMS, the Drupal installation created a 5gb+ database for just 150 pages of web site and regularly crashed! As others have stated you need to watch how Wordpress is set up as well.
North America - you have plenty of hosts to choose from, some dire, some truly excellent
If downtime is an important factor then you need to be looking at a better quality host, and probably upping your budget a bit. If you get traffic spikes again you need to work with a host who won't just suspend your account if you go over quota all of a sudden, and one who's servers can cope!
With an increasing number of visits your website should contain high amount of data which requires a better attention and security to match up your needs. So I would like to suggest you a Dedicated Server rather than a VPS or Shared hosting for your needs. A dedicated hosting will provide you with more security to your website data, more disk space and greater memory to access your traffic flow with ease. It will also ensure you a dedicated support service for managing your website technical issue.
A dedicated server is not secured more than a VPS in most of the time. And unless you are using high-end vendors such as Rackspace, Datapipe, you won't have dedicated support. Don't mess up with "dedicated" please.
A ten dollar a month budget for web hosting pretty much narrows the field to shared hosting. I recommend choosing a host that offers cPanel hosting with the shared account because it is designed to take care of almost all of the task you need to perform for a site such as yours. As your traffic and advertising grows you might want to consider increasing your budget just a bit so that you could obtain a managed VPS hosting plan. A plan such as that will offer you the support you need along with added security and an environment that is less susceptible to your neighbors usage and practices.
I say it depends what sites you will have and if you can afford it, I am actually thinking of getting VPS so let me know if you find a good and stable one
I was also looking for similar, but not yet tested. Seek recommendations on Google, or see surveys <snip>.
You should go for shared hosting because in my opinion your bandwidth is not being too much spent.
They are very competitively priced but did you read their "terms of service". They have restrictions for everything under the sun. Not just the standard "don't be a bad person" stuff.
Kiwiheretic makes a very important point here when he says to read the TOS. If a web hosting offer seems too good to be true then a good read of the Terms of Service may be in order. It is easy to just agree and move along but when you are moving your data which overall involves time and thus money you want to be sure that you truly know what you are getting.

Deep Sea fire was arson, investigation concludes
The fire that preceded the sinking of the Deep Sea crab boat in Penn Cove last spring has been determined to be the result of arson, according to a report released by the state Department of Natural Resources today.
The investigation, conducted by the King County Sheriff's Office's fire/arson investigation unit, determined that an unknown number of people "ignited and burned" the vessel prior to it's sinking, May 12.
The blaze is believed to have started in the vessel's freezer hold, which was located on the forward deck, but what was used to start the fire could not be determined, said Craig Muller, supervisor for the special fire unit.
"It was an undetermined source of ignition," Muller said.
Also, no suspects have been identified and Toni Weyman Droscher, a DNR spokesperson, confirmed that the agency will not be pursing the matter further.
"It's pretty much a closed case," she said.
The Deep Sea arrived in Penn Cove by tow in December of 2011. The vessel sat at anchor just outside Penn Cove Shellfish's mussel rafts for the next four months until it caught fire and sank.
The vessel spent three weeks on the bottom, spilling more than 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into Penn Cove, before it was raised and towed to Stabbert Yacht and Ship dry dock in Seattle.
The fiasco resulted in local closures of shellfish harvesting and cost state and federal agencies about $3 million.
Although DNR will not spend more resources trying to find out who started the fire, both it and the state Department of Ecology are attempting to recover expenses from the vessel's owner, Rory Westmoreland.

TREVOR Senior is considering resting Ryan Dovell for the next couple of weeks ahead of a key run of fixtures in December.
The ex-Dorchester Town forward is currently Bridport's leading scorer but he has been struggling of late with a groin problem and his boss does not want to risk him any further.
Senior said: "Ryan had to come off after 35 minutes in the 1-0 defeat at Brislington last Saturday due to his groin again and I think we might rest him now for a couple of weeks.
"We have got a really important month coming up in December when we take on a lot of the teams around us and I would rather have him available for that than risk him over the next fortnight.
"The only problem we have with that is that Ben Clarke is now away for two weeks on holiday, which leaves us a bit light up front, but it is something we will just have to overcome.
"Dean Ritchie will be back for the trip to Hallen tomorrow (3pm) after being cup-tied, which will be a boost, and there are a couple of other options too.

Topic: New project for me
Today has been up and down. Went in for bloodwork and my liver enzymes are better, but not quite good enough so no chemo again. The doctor thinks that by Monday it will be go ahead. Will have scans tommorrow to check to see if the tumor has spread to the liver and to check for the blood clot. Ho-hum life with cancer goes on, but I do have some GREAT NEWS....
Hans and I bought a summer house 30 minutes from where we live. The cottage is from the early 1900s, is surrounded by a moss covered stone wall and is in the middle of the forrest. Wild blackberries and blueberries are everywhere. There is a "puddle" (not deep enough to be a pond) which will be perfect for ice skating on in the winter. The place is perfect for us and will give me a wonderful place to plop my butt down in the summer and get some sun and relax. We live in an apartment and I really miss having an outdoor space. There really isnt much that needs to be done, but alot I want to do to make it "ours". My sister is visiting and we are planning all sorts of sewing projects like curtains, pillows and bedding for the house. I have also decided to make a "chemo bag" to tote all the books, cds, gloves and puzzles I carry back and forth on chemo day. My sister bought some funny fabrics (Strawberry Shortcake and dancing fairies) so it will be cheerful and bring laughter when used. Isnt she great? I cant tell you how nice it is to think of something else besides cancer.

George Teater, of Crab Creek
b.09 March 1736/37
d.25 Jul 1815 Garrard County, Kentucky
Family tree▼
m. 1762
m. aft. 1794
Facts and Events
George Teater was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia
This article is for the George Teater who settled initial at the mouth of Crab Creek, near modern Radford Virginia, about 1768. George was born about 1739, but it is unclear where his family was living at the time. He apparently served in the French and Indian War, and married toward the end of that conflict about 1763. His wife is commonly identified as Sarah Pearis, daughter of either George or Richard Pearis, and together they had five children. The couple settled about 1768 at the mouth of Bakers Creek, where it enters the New River, near modern Radford Virginia. George and his family did not remain long, moving south into the Holston River Watershed around 1770, settling on property on Bakers Creek near Saltville. During the Revolution he moved to Kentucky, settling in what is now Girrard County. Sarah died in 1794, and Parris remarried shortly there after to Esther Griffin, by whom he had two more children. George continued to live in this same area, dying in 1815.
No substantive data about George Teater's early life has been found, other than a DOB of 1739[1] He is sometimes identified as "John George Dieter" who was born about this same time in Operquon, VA. Despite the similarity of the names, knowledgable researchers into this family believe this to be a confusion.[2] There are a series of documentary records showing a George Teater in various military units during the French and Indian War (1755-1763), which probably refer to George Teater (1). [3]
George is believed to have married at the close of the French and Indian War. This is based on the DOB of his eldest child, (Samuel, born c. 1763 [4]) This coincides with the end of his militia records. Land records for Montgomery County identify his wife as "Sarah". The fact that George and Sarah named one of their children "Paris" may reflect a commemoration of Sarah's maiden name. Many believe her full name to have been "Sarah Pearis", though direct evidence to support this has not been found. Some believe that Sarah was the daughter of Richard Pearis, an historically known Indian Trader in western Virginia and northeastern Tennessee; this Richard Pearis and left a will identifying a daughter "Sarah". However, some researchers believe that Sarah Pearis married XXXX, and not George Teater. Others (notably User:Parris believe Sarah to be the daughter of George Pearis who lived on Goose Creek in modern Montgomery County. In anycase, direct evidence showing Sarah's maiden name to be Pearis has not been identified.[5]
George and Sarah had six children betwen 1762 and Sarah's death in 1794. There is a gap of five years between the birth of daughter Sarah in 1775 and Paris in 1780; this may indicate additional children who did not survive. Sarah died in 1794 [8] George remarried to Esther Griffin, wife of Benjamin Totten and had an additional four children by her prior to his death in 1815. [9]
Augusta County
Botetourt County
Montgomery County
In 1834 George Teators son Samuel states in his pension application "that he was born in the month of February 1763 in Botetourt County, State of Virginia." Botetourt County did not form until 1770. Presumably Samuel was born somewhere within the vast area that eventually became Botetourt County. The formation of Botetourt County coincides with the date the family left Crab Creek for Washington County; Samuel would have been seven, and could have remembered living in that area, fixing its name in his mind as "Botetourt". While the family did not own the Crab Creek property at his birth, it could plausibly be argued that they were living somewhere in the area that became first Botetourt County, and then later Montgomery County where Crab Creek is located today.
In anycase, In 1768 George Teeter settled at the mouth of Crab Creek, where it discharges into the New River near Christiansburg in Montgomery County, Virginia. (See: Map showing approximate location of George Teeter's property on Crab Creek.) Two years later he and his wife Sarah sold this property, apparently leaving the area as he has not been found there in later records.
Washington County
George Teater lived with his family in Washington County, VA from 1770 to about 1779. The first evidence for him in this area are land records that show him settling on Bakers Creek, a branch of the middle Fork of the Holston, in 1770. [See Source:Robertson, 1998. Notably, he is listed as a signatory for the Ebbing Springs Call to the Reverend Charles Cummings in 1773, and appears in occasional court records through 1778[10] Researchers into this family line believe him to be the same
In 1778 a George Teeter was designated an "Ensign" in the Washington County Militia. This George Teeter is commonly said to be the same person as appears on the Ebbing Springs Call, but is probably his son. [11]
George Teater dissappears from Washington County records after 1778.
Teater family historians in Kentucky trace their descent from George Teater who signed the Ebbing Spring Call in 1773, in Washington County, VA. They hold that George Teaters initially settled in XXXXX and later moved to Garrard County. Samuel, the eldest son of George Teater and wife Sarah of Garrard County, KY, made application for a pension based on his Revolutionary War service. In that application:
This by itself does not prove that George Teater of Garrard County is the same George Teater who signed the Ebbing Springs call. However, the relocation stated to have occurred in the year 1779 is consistent with the dissappearance of George Teaters from the records of Washington County about this time. [12]
Revolutionary War Service
George Teater is often said to have participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain. This idea is probably based on the statement by Governor David Cambell [reference needed] that virtually everyone on the Ebbing Springs Call signatory list, was at the Battle of Kings Mountain. While many of the early settlers of Washington County did indeed serve at Kings Mountain, no evidence has been found that George Teater was numbered among them. (See Source:Moss, 1990). Samuel Teaters pension application tells us that they left Virginia in 1779, which would make it extremely unlikely that George was a participant in Kings Mountain in 1780. [13].
Personal Data
Some identify other children, but only the above are mentioned in George's will.

Bond was set at $75,000 Friday for Andrew L. Lauber, 22, of North Platte, accused of distribution of marijuana.
Originally, he was charged with possession with intent to deliver, but Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Wellan told the court that he had actually delivered marijuana, so the charge was increased.
Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull set Laubers bond at $75,000, noting that a minor was involved and Lauber has a prior record involving drugs and minors.
Turnbull told Lauber that he normally sets bond at $50,000 for the crime.
Lauber told Turnbull that he would hire his own attorney.
In February, Lauber was convicted of felony child abuse and sentenced to a year in jail after hosting meth parties at his house involving minors. At that time, Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling requested a penitentiary sentence. She said a 16-year-old girl was injected with meth at Laubers home, plus he had four prior convictions for minor in possession of alcohol and he failed probation three times.
Its one thing to be an addict, Harling said at the time. To host parties for minors and introduce them to drugs is another.
Laubers co-defendant in the Febuary district court case, Austen Barraclough, was sentenced to a 2-6 years imprisonment. He was considered the primary culprit when the 16-year-old girl was injected.
When Lauber received a lesser sentence than Barraclough, Lincoln County District Judge Donald Rowlands told him, This is your last chance to turn your life around. Its not going to be like this if I see you again.
Lauber had served 190 days in jail before he was sentenced to one year, for which he received credit, so he was released in February on good-time provisions, which take a day off an inmate's sentence for every day he or she serves without causing problems at the jail.

I am a former graduate of the local school and I am now on my way of getting my online mba degree, this is my chance to thank all the teachers that helped me reach this point.

Michael Salfino of the Wall Street Journal (full disclosure: Salfino is a terrific writer) has a very useful piece today, discussing run differential and how it hasn't seemed to apply to the New York Mets.
Writes Salfino: "The New York Mets are off to the most cognitively dissonant start in baseball… The Mets are on pace to finish 87-75 while being outscored by 122 runs. This would be a rather historic achievement: All-time, the worst run differential by a winning team belonged to the 1905 Detroit Tigers (minus-90), who went 79-74."
In other words: either the Mets are an outlier more than a century in the making, or they'll need to play significantly better to keep winning games at their current rate.
The other problem with even doing that is, winning at their current rate only has them at 22-20, good for fourth place in the National League East. That misrepresents their position somewhat; fourth place is just one game out of third, which is the final National League playoff spot. But the point is, significant over-achievement of their run differential doesn't have them in a playoff spot, with a cushion against regression. It has left them with more work to do.
The Mets, for instance, are 22-20. But their Pythagorean record, based on runs scored and runs allowed, is 18-24, a .429 winning percentage. So if they play at their current level over the last 120 games, they'll be likely to finish with a 51-69 record, for a total record of 73-89.
But let's go ahead and extrapolate from the division's run differential to determine, if the five NL East teams simply play at the levels they have for the first 42 games, how they will finish. We'll take the current records, which are established, and add the winning percentage those teams should expect over the final 120 games, given their runs scored and runs allowed.
Team Record to Date Expected Record, Rest of Season Final Record
Braves 26-17 69-50 95-67
Nationals 25-17 66-54 91-71
Marlins 23-19 60-60 83-79
Mets 22-20 51-69 73-89
Phillies 21-22 61-58 82-80
What do we learn from this? Well, the quarter of a season playing above their expected win total has been kind to the Mets. Had they simply been playing at the 18-24 mark their runs scored/runs allowed would have predicted, they'd be on pace to finish 69-93. So those are four wins they don't have to give back.
And if Pythagorean record isn't picking up some aspect of this team that allows it to consistently outperform its run differential, the good times may continue.
Unfortunately, there's well over a century of baseball that says the Mets are still a good bet to finish last in the division, and by a good margin.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/2/2013 (1655 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Poised for their big fundraising gala, the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba was poised for a flood of donations.
Wrong flood.
On Tuesday morning, the society's Donald Street office was flooded when a sprinkler line froze and blew apart -- all while staff were preparing for the Winnipeg Gala on Thursday at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, and sent scrambling to save thousands of dollars worth of auction items.
"Basically, our ceiling opened up," said Kim Mardero, ASM manager of events and corporate giving. "It looked like a giant waterfall. It was crazy."
However, Mardero said while the office, which houses a staff of 17, will require extensive renovations and repairs, the auction items -- "there were some things floating around" -- were saved.
The Winnipeg Gala -- called the Night to Remember in Africa -- is budgeted to bring in $260,000 for the society.
Mardero said workers from the Derksen Group, an ASM sponsor that ironically includes plumbing services, arrived in four trucks to haul away thousands of dollars worth of paintings, iPads, diamond necklaces and sports memorabilia
However, Mardero noted services the office offers, including counselling and support groups, will have to be relocated for at least a few weeks.
The ASM will look for temporary offices in the meantime.
"There's no way we can work there," Mardero said. "It's just wrecked. There was a foot of water on the carpet."

Ship Weight:1.05 Simone Chickenbone - Kill It Dead Natural De-Funkifier Deodorant - 4 oz. Simone Chickenbone Kill It Dead Defunkifier doesn't just cover the funk, it attacks it and makes it be gone. All natural and vegan, Simone Chickenbone Kill It Dead is the alternative to your drug store deodorant containing not so good stuff like aluminum and parabens. The combination of tea tree oil (melaleuca alternifolia) and witch hazel provides the perfect weapon against funk-causing bacteria. Kill It Dead allows for your naturally scented body to be funk free and not perfumey. This product is packaged in an apothecary style amber bottle with a fine mist sprayer and holds approximately 4oz. All-Natural De-Funkifier Vegan Eco-Friendly So People Think You Take Baths The Name....Chicken Poop comes from Simone Chickenbone's founder Jamie Tabor Schmidt's goofy grandpa replying to her complaint of having dry lips. He'd say, "I know how to fix those dry lips, I'll rub some chicken poop on 'em so you won't be lickin' 'em." Brilliant, don't you think? That's how it all began..Jamie Tabor Schmidt began making Chicken Poop after her best friend Claudia took her to Sephora, a cosmetic store lined from floor to ceiling with all kinds of make up goodness. She decided then and there she would have a product line by the age of 25. Good gravey, a hair pomade,was the first product she came up with. Requests came flying in for a tube version. So, in 2000 Jamie developed Chicken Poop. She has seven other products in the making. The latest to market is Kill It Dead, a natural spray deodorant. Simone Chickenbone History Dreams and VisionsBorn and raised in Kansas, thirty year old entrepreneur Jamie Tabor, lives on a hill with her artist/inventor husband, their daughter and two dogs. She is the chick behind Simone Chickenbone. It all started when Jamie was a little girl dreaming up big ideas. One such idea led four year old Jamie around the block soliciting neighbors to purchase "air fresheners" made from hand soap soaked pink facial tissues. She successfully sold one "air freshener for $.05. A cosmetologist by trade and a dreamer at heart, Jamie was introduced to a store called Sephora while in California visiting beauty school buddy, Claudia. This store was lined from floor to ceiling with every imaginable cosmetic and fragrance. Jamie eyed a line of cosmetics with hand drawn flowers in a purple box. It dawned on her that was something she could do. Inspired, Jamie vowed to have her own product line by the age of twenty-five. In 2000 while working in a salon, Jamie developed her first product-a hair pomade. It was a hit. It was pure, simple and high quality. The dream was starting to take form. Early EffortsSoon after the initial success of her hair pomade, requests came flying in for something in a tube. Brain storming, Jamie decided if she were to make a lip balm it would have to be called Chicken Poop, inspired by her grandpa's sense of humor. If one was to complain of dry lips he'd say, "put some chicken poop on your lips so you won't lick 'em." It's not easy selling something called Chicken Poop. The high quality lip balm was a hit with most, but Jamie received a lot of negative feed back on the name. Shop owners would send her out their doors shaking their heads. Despite the risks, Jamie persevered. Her hard work and consistent efforts led to a shop in Chicago carrying Chicken Poop. RR#1 Chicago was Jamie's first big order and has continued to support Simone Chickenbone. Chicken Poop is the shop owner's favorite lip balm and favorite product in her store. Following on this initial success, Jamie soon experienced broadening exposure: from local to national press (including an interview on the Bob and Tom Show) the word was getting out. Greener PoopSimone Chickenbone is doing just that. Their focus on sustainability is an attempt to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future.

Top 10 Reasons Why We're Dumped
Ever wondered what the top 10 reasons for getting dumped are? Well, now we know. Survey says…
-Piper Weiss, Yahoo! Shine
"I'm not ready for a relationship." If those six words have ever snapped open your rib cage and scooped out your heart like a gut hook, then you might be a woman.
It's the most popular excuse women hear when they're being dumped, according to a survey released last Tuesday.
The results are based on more than 500 male and female users of Wot Went Wrong, a reverse dating site that allows exes to get and give answers about unsuccessful relationships.
In a period of four months, 15 percent of female users got the "not ready" response– the kind of reason that makes you want to ask more questions. But you might not want to dig too deep.
Consider the second and third most popular reasons men dumped women on the site:
#2 Low sex drive.
#3 Bad hygiene.
Is "I'm not ready" really just a nice way of saying "you have bad breath?"
Not necessarily, says psychologist and member of the male sex, Lee Shapiro, PsyD. "They may be being honest about not being ready for the responsibility of commitment."
Tracy McMillan agrees, sort of.
"I think they're telling the truth," says the author of the new book, Why You're Not Married Yet, "but I would add to the end of that sentence 'with you.' They're not ready for a relationship with you. It's a nice way of saying this isn't the long-term situation I want, but that's not because you're not good enough."
"It's a social grace," says McMillan.
Read Burning Question: Why Do Women Date Jerks?
To be fair, women have their own social graces, if you want to call them that. According to the survey, the most popular excuse women gave when dumping guys on the site was, "There's someone else."
It's not exactly gracious, especially if it's true. But it does get the message across without putting a guy down.
"I would think the reason a woman would say that is to finalize the breakup," suggests McMillan. "It's a clear-cut way of making him stop the chase in a somewhat diplomatic way."
What's less diplomatic: Too short (the #7 most popular reason women gave men on the site).
Despite our tweaks of language, we're not so different. Both men and women can be vapid and cruel when it comes to the opposite sex. And if we're trying to be nice, we both exploit our gender stereotypes and blame "human nature."
Guys' "not ready" excuse is propped on the assumption that "men can't commit." Somehow, it's supposed to make the dumpee take it less personally. Meanwhile, women's "someone else" line relies on the stereotype that women crave relationships. If a guy used that line he'd be a cheat; if a woman used "not ready" she'd seem like she were lying, even if she weren't.
Bottom line: there's no good way to reject someone. There are some really bad ways, though, like "too hairy" and "lack of punctuality"–both popular excuses used on the site.
"In the absence of some bigger connection, we come up with little reasons not to like a person," explains McMillan, generously (seriously, we can be jerks). "If it was the right person you wouldn't care how they ate or if their fingernails are weird."
Incidentally, weird fingernails didn't rank on this survey. But someone's probably heard that line before.

Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur's initiative to offer service and bring joy to the lives of the underprivileged sections of our society called Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care programme gives you a wonderful opportunity to fill your life with love, compassion, happiness and contentment by making a difference to lives around you. It's a 10 Care programme which includes Health Care, Educational Care, Child Care, Woman Care, Tribal Care, Community Care, Humanitarian Care, Emergency Relief Care, Animal Care and Environmental Care. EXPRESSIONS OF JOY is a project by Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care in association with the Joy of Giving Week
With a population count of over 1.2 billion people, of which over 700 million live in rural areas, a plaguing concern in India is providing affordable health care solutions to the masses, especially in the remote areas. The rural and tribal population located in the sub-districts (talukas) of Dharampur and Kaprada in the Valsad district of South Gujarat, rank amongst the poorest in the state. As a result, they have very little to eat and suffer from severe malnutrition. The abject poverty coupled with the high level of illiteracy that is rife in these areas, make them highly vulnerable to various diseases and illnesses. The harsh realities are grim and tragic, almost unimaginable.
The current state of the education scenario is such that a large section of this area has remained deprived of this basic necessity. The tribals here are recognised as one of the most marginalised groups and provisions for their educational development in the area are scarce. An innovative and integrated educational approach to maximise their potential is most important for helping them escape the vicious cycle of ignorance and poverty.
In a country where population is growing by the second, economic disparity is inevitable. People living in extreme conditions of poverty and suffering from adverse living conditions are a hard-hitting reality of our nation. There are millions of orphans and abandoned elders whose lives are drastically different from our lives. They live in a space where there is no one to look up to, no one to guide them or even hug them when they need it the most. Days are filled with fear of being forced to beg, crippled by a car accident on a street or no one to tell them the right path ahead.
Animals are every bit capable of feeling pain as humans do. Innumerable animals are killed for food, clothing, entertainment and experimentation every year. They are neglected, mutilated, genetically manipulated, put on drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling deformities, killed in gruesome and violent ways. Similar is the state of natural habitation. It is estimated that more than 11 billion trees are cut each year to be put to the service of mankind! Spirituality embraces the entire living spectrum as an extension of one's own consciousness. The values of Jainism and the principles of ecology are in consonance.
Even in this unfortunate reality, we must never forget that every day presents an opportunity to revive an unfortunate life. We can turn the tide of poverty, loneliness, hunger, illness, and hopelessness into a wave of love, hope, security, and a better future.
Support SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRA LOVE AND CARE and help transform lives through volunteering or via financial contributions. For more information, please visit www.srloveandcare.org
* Date and details of this particular activity will soon be available on our website. All activities under "Expressions of Joy" will take place between 1st September, 2011 and 8th October, 2011

GIGABYTE Launches BRIX Gaming: AMD A8-5557M and R9 M275Xby Ian Cutress on 1/28/2014 10:28 AM EST

nathanddrews - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkThat R9 M275X is such a mystery! It is difficult to be excited or not. Reply
Spuke - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkhttp://techreport.com/news/25969/amd-apu-discrete-...
Says there the M275X is equivalent to a desktop HD 7750. Reply
thevoiceofreason - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - link7750 coupled with 256 cores on the APU is actually not so bad for that kind of form factor (assuming proper driver support -- I know, I know). Definitely beats the intel iris box for light gaming. Reply
M1ke116 - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkIsn't the 8550G a VLIW architecture whereas the 7750 is GCN, If so these cannot be crossfired. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Reply
skiboysteve - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkYou are correct. Real mistake here to use that CPU. Can't use half of its die area at all (the GPU). Reply
thevoiceofreason - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkOh, that's very disappointing. Reply
Colin1497 - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkThe extra die area does help with heat dissipation, which may or may not help. Ideally the onboard GPU would be fused off, and AMD does make parts like the Athlon X4 760K, but there's nothing like that in the mobile stack apparently... Reply
DryAir - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkBigger die area will not help much in heat dissipation if the heat production is concentred in just a portion of it. Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkAt 35 W there's nothing to worry about except a too small fan. Heat transfer from a 32 nm die is absolutely no problem. Reply
Gadgety - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkI expected the Kaveri line in the Brix' units rather than Richland. I'll guess that'll be next year's Brix gaming. Reply
konistehrad - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkYou beat me to this, but yeah, the decision to go Richland rather than waiting for more suitable, 35W Kaveri parts is baffling. Dual Graphics isn't a silver bullet by any means, but it'd certainly be better than an unusable VLIW block on the APU. Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkYes, that is odd and disappointing. I misread this at first and got excited. Reply
Hubb1e - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkIt does seem odd to go with Richland. But remember that Richland can run just fine in an AM2+ board so Kaveri and Richland are compatible on the same platform. And at 35W Kaveri should prove to be much more capable than Richland at 35W since the benefits of Kaveri are seen at low TDP. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - link*FM2+ socket, not AM2+. And Richland can run in it but that doesn't mean that they are using that here. So if they use FM2 socket with Richland, there is no compatibility. Reply
Gigaplex - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkThe AMD A8-5557M is BGA mounted Reply
nightscheme - Sunday, February 02, 2014 - linkActually AMD promised support for VLIW5 and GCN Dual Graphics, meaning it's still possible. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkSo like AMD to announce something without pricing, release, or if the APU and GPU CF well. Basically, they just threw pictures and a brief description up and thought, "Hey, they'll fill in all the bad blanks with assumptions if we say nothing!"
Just like we always do with everything else they "reveal" in this fashion. Reply
PhoenixEnigma - Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - linkThat's funny, as this wasn't revealed by AMD, unless they've suddenly purchased Gigabyte.
"We have received a PR from GIGABYTE regarding the next model in the stack, dubbed the BRIX Gaming." Reply
rhx123 - Wednesday, January 29, 2014 - linkTypical gigabyte. Hype a product then reduce it's specs. They've done this before with thunderbolt equipped laptops that never happened, now they tout a 8890M and release it with a much slower part.
No hope in hell the NVidia one will be a 880M, I called this right from the start. It's going to be a 840m or something. Reply
Gigaplex - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkI don't understand the point in this model. The sole point of getting an AMD APU is for the GPU advantage over Intel. If you're going to use a discrete GPU anyway, may as well just use an Intel CPU. Reply
nightscheme - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkExcept for the HUMONGOUS price difference.
Not to mention that AMD promised Dual Graphics support for VLIW5 APUs and GCN GPUs so there's extra performance waiting to be reaped in. Reply
iAPX - Sunday, February 09, 2014 - linkI like the honest and technically correct "dual module" with "four threads" in this article, instead the commercial "quad-core" that AMD try to push hard to let consumer think it's comparable to an Intel quad-core CPU. Reply

Watch the newly-released (and awesome) trailer for Lonesome Road — the fourth game add-on pack for Fallout: New Vegas, coming out on September 20th. Props to our very own Salinee Goldenberg for her great work on all the New Vegas DLC trailers!
In Lonesome Road you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. Ulysses promises the answer as to why he didn't take the job, but only if you make one last journey into the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. It's up to you whether you take the job or not.
Lonesome Road will be available next week for download on Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network and Steam (Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft points, PlayStation Network and Steam for $9.99).

MAGNOLIA, Texas - The Magnolia Independent School District says a student took a gun to school on Tuesday.
The district said MISD administration received information Tuesday afternoon that claimed an elementary student was in possession of a weapon on the Lyon Elementary campus.
Staff said they quickly recovered an unloaded firearm without incident. No ammunition was found in the student's possession, nor was there any evidence of an intent to use the weapon on campus.
MISD informed Lyon Elementary parents of the incident this afternoon by phone message. A thorough investigation was completed by MISD administration in cooperation with Precinct 5 of the Montgomery County Constable's Office.
MISD said they are committed to providing a safe environment for all students, and will continue to work with parents and law enforcement to achieve this goal.
"Worried about my kid's safety," said Kenneth Langley.
Langley said two of his children used to attend Lyon Elementary.
"I got two special needs kids that go to the junior," said Langley. "One goes to junior high, and one goes to Bear Branch. Anybody can grab the gun and it can go off and innocent bystanders could get killed."

Donald Hunt welcomes Peter Avis to the Elgar Birthplace Museum, Lower Broadheath, near Worcester, to discuss the influence of Bredon Hill, near Evesham, during My Summertimes of Bredon on Tuesday, June 10.
Mr Avis has climbed the hill more than 150 times and his thoughts about its effect on the creative mind.
Chris Bennett, museum supervisor said: "Bredon Hill is a most beautiful area and Peter Avis is our ideal guide. Peter is a writer, broadcaster and singer, and knows just about every inch of the hill.
"His knowledge of the poets and composers who have been inspired by the area is second to none, and given his reputation as a raconteur this promises to be a most enlightening and entertaining presentation."
The talk starts at 10.30am and tickets are £6, including interval refreshments.
Advance booking is advisable.
For more information and tickets, go to elgarmuseum.org or call 01905 333224.

To display Hello World and keep it displaying on the command prompt. In Python, I know you call print to display the text, but how would you keep the text on the command prompt. For example:
- Code: Select all
print ("Hello World")
If I were to run that, the command prompt would just open and close before I got to see what was printed. Any help is appreciated.

Topic: New Avatar
In honor of this new discussion board format, thank you Rick!, I decided to add an avatar to my profile today. It won't make sense to many who see it so I wanted to explain the background.
The Chinese character in my avatar is the symbol meaning crisis. When I was first diagnosed in 2003 my Chinese medicine practitioner asked if I knew of the Chinese view of crisis. I did not.
My understanding is that the Crisis symbol/character is composed of two other Chinese characters. One meaning danger and the other opportunity. I have always remembered this and tried to use it in my battle against this disease.
My apologies if this post is under an incorrect topic. I have actually been a member of this site for a good while but I was not sure where to post this. Rick, please move it if you would like it elsewhere.

Alternative Loans
A student who wishes to borrow additional funds has the option to borrow directly from a bank. We strongly encourage students to complete the FAFSA and find out their eligibility for grants and/or Stafford Loans before applying for an alternative student loan. These loans are not federal student loans, so alternative student loan terms will vary from lender to lender. For more information on alternative loans, please visit FASTChoice.
Students considering this option are encouraged to carefully research the loan terms (fees, interest rates, repayment plans, etc.) before taking out the loan. Students apply for alternative student loans directly with the lender. The lender will then request the Financial Aid Office certify the loan. The maximum loan amount a student may receive is the Cost of Attendance (COA) minus any other financial aid (grants, loans, scholarships, and other educational assistance). After certification federal law requires lenders to wait at least 8 business days before sending the loan funds to the college. Due to this students are encouraged to apply early so funds are not delayed. Please contact the Financial Aid Office with any questions.

A TRAINING course for driving instructors is aiming to cut the number of youngsters killed or hurt on the roads of Bucks.
Young drivers make up 27 per cent of all killed or seriously injured across the county.
In a bid to reduce this figure, driving instructors from across Bucks and Milton Keynes are being invited to attend the courses.
Transport for Buckinghamshire (TfB) says it has been supporting driving instructors since 2010 to help raise the standard of new drivers through coaching, and the feedback has been positive, with instructors saying the information they receive during the course can be applied directly the lessons they give on the road.
The course contains a mix of presentations, role play and videos.
Janet Blake, Buckinghamshire County Council, Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation said: "Supporting the driving instructors who are in a position to influence our future drivers is central to raising driving standards across the county. This is just one of the many initiatives we and our partners deliver across the county to try to reduce the number of young drivers killed or seriously injured on our roads."
The courses are the result of a joint venture between Road Safety Teams from TfB and Milton Keynes Council with support from Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue service which provides the venues.
The course focuses on coaching techniques, and aims to support approved driving instructors (ADIs) with the new 'standards check' they must undergo from April, which will assess the way they instruct.
The courses will run between 9.30 am and 4.00pm on:
February 18 at Aylesbury Fire Station
February 19 at Bletchley Fire Station
February 20at Great Holm Fire Station Milton Keynes
For more information and to book a place please contact: June Howlett, Transport for Buckinghamshire, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 01296 382450; or Adrian Carden, Milton Keynes Council, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 01908 252764

Ethan Carey
After graduating from Ithaca College in '73 with a Bachelor's in Communication. I put the business of radio on the back burner and from '73 through '78 I tried playing rock star in an acoustic trio. Great times but not much cash coming in, but one of the highlights was hooking up with one of our groupies who's been my wife now for 38 years!! We have 3 grown kids Matt, EJ, and Allie. During our playing days, I also worked part time on the air at a great rock station, WCMF in Rochester, NY. I was hired as the evening jock right here at I-95 early in '79 and simply.......never left. I-95/WRKI is a very "special" radio station born on Christmas Eve in '76 and I'm proud to say, I'll be starting up my 35th year at this heritage rock station....20 of those years as the morning show host. The most frequently asked question about the morning show is, "How do you get up that early every morning?" I'll tell you how........I have the best job in the world! Every day for 4 hours, we laugh, we make our listeners laugh, play rock n' roll, and get the opportunity to interview top notch rock stars and nationally know stand up comedians. Hosting the I-95 Morning Show is like playing in a big boy sandbox and I wouldn't change a thing. I am one very lucky guy!!

BLACKCAPS v England Lions, four-day match at Grace Road, Leicester
After day four: New Zealand 285, England Lions 444-7.
Result: the match was drawn
The four-day match between the BLACKCAPS and England Lions ended in a draw after rain ruined the last two days.
The teams got through the first session at Grace Road in Leicester today but rain for the bulk of the afternoon meant there was only 15 minutes more play in the day. The Lions were 444-7 in reply to New Zealand's 285 when the match was abandoned.
Trent Boult had started the day well for the BLACKCAPS with an early wicket, getting England Test squad member Jonny Bairstow lbw for 68./
His fellow seamer Doug Bracewell chimed in with two wickets before lunch. He claimed the all-important wicket of Joe Root bowling the Lions captain for 179. A few overs later Bracewell also took out one of Chris Woakes' stumps after managing only a solitary run.
The restart after lunch was delayed and in the few minutes of play in the afternoon, the Lions took their total to 444-7 before the match petered into a draw.
Boult finished with figures of 3-86 and Bracewell 2-95. Bruce Martin and Tim Southee grabbed a wicket each.
While many of the BLACKCAPS batsmen will be disappointed not to have had another period at the crease, you can't always count on four fine days in spring in England.
Rain calls off play with no action since lunch
BLACKCAPS v England Lions, four-day match at Grace Road, Leicester
After day three: New Zealand 285, England Lions 315-4
Icy rain was the dominant factor on the third day of the four-day match between the BLACKCAPS and England Lions at Grace Road, Leicester.
The day's play was called just after 4.30pm with no action since the lunch break due to driving rain sweeping the ground.
In the first and only session of the day, the BLACKCAPS made the best possible start with seamer Trent Boult grabbing two early wickets.
Firstly he had night watchman Chris Wright caught by Tim Southee at second slip for five. Then he got James Taylor to nick one through to BJ Watling after making just two runs.
There was a short rain stoppage before lunch but that was the only break in the partnership of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, who combined to take the Lions to 315-4.
Rain for the bulk of the afternoon meant there was no further play leaving Lions captain Root on 143 and Bairstow on 45.
Lions have better of day two
BLACKCAPS v England Lions, four-day match at Grace Road, Leicester
After day two: New Zealand 285, England Lions 219-2
The England Lions had the better of the second day of their four day match against the BLACKCAPS at Grace Road, Leicester.
The home side built a strong second wicket partnership to be 219-2 at the end of the day's play. The Lions had earlier knocked over the last seven BLACKCAPS wickets cheaply with the visitors adding just 101 to their overnight score.
Yesterday's century maker Hamish Rutherford didn't last long in the windy and cool conditions, adding only 10 runs before being run out by Chris Woakes for 126.
Captain Brendon McCullum joined Dean Brownlie at the crease for his first innings on tour but only faced four balls and scored a solitary run before being caught in the slips by Michael Carberry off the bowling of Graham Onions.
BJ Watling battled for 23 before being bowled by Woakes, while Tim Southee was dropped twice, before going lbw to Ravi Bopara for 11.
The BLACKCAPS were 274-7 at the lunch break and would be pretty disappointed with the morning's effort after being 184-3 overnight.
Their innings finished soon after the lunch break at 285 with bowlers Bruce Martin, Doug Bracewell and Trent Boult all going cheaply. Martin went lbw to fellow spinner Simon Kerrigan for six, Bracewell was caught off the bowling of Roland-Jones for four and Boult also went for four bowled by Roland-Jones to give him four wickets in the innings.
Brownlie finished not out on 41, running out of partners before he could reach his 50.
In the field, the BLACKCAPS made a great start with Southee getting opener Varun Chopra caught at second slip by McCullum for four to have the Lions 19-1.
But after that it was all the Lions with Carberry and captain Joe Root getting on top of the Kiwi bowlers as they charged to 201 before the next wicket fell.
Martin finally got Carberry caught at deep square leg by Brownlie to end his innings at 77. Root finished the day by bringing up his century, ending unbeaten on 105.
Rutherford ton on day one v Lions
A Hamish Rutherford century led the BLACKCAPS to a solid 184-3 against the England Lions in very cold and windy conditions at Grace Road, Leicester.
Midway through the afternoon spell play was called off due to rain and strong winds, with only 43 of the 90 overs bowled on the first day of the four-day match.
Rutherford was in a hurry to reach his century during that afternoon spell, smashing four sixes and escaping two chances on the way. He was dropped at deep mid-wicket by Michael Carberry and minutes later he had another life as Graham Onions caught him on the long-on boundary but stepped over the rope.
Earlier in the day, the England Lions had won the toss and opted to bowl first. The BLACKCAPS finished the first session at 102-2 after losing opener Peter Fulton early on for seven, lbw to Onions. Kane Williamson went not long afterwards for the same score, this time caught at midwicket by Simon Kerrigan off the bowling of Toby Roland-Jones.
Rutherford was in fine touch in the morning session and notched up his half century just before the lunch break. The Otago opener continued his run after lunch, smashing his series of sixes to finish unbeaten at 116 when play was called off for the day.
The talented 24 year-old was pleased to have spent some time at the crease.
"We want to win this game," Rutherford stated.
"It's nice to spend some decent time at the crease. I haven't batted a lot over here, so to spend some time out in the middle here in these conditions was massive. I really tried hard this week leading into this game to do well."
Ross Taylor also chimed in with a constructive 35 before being caught lbw to Roland-Jones. Dean Brownlie was left on four not out at the close of play.
The forecast for tomorrow is not much better with more rain and wind expected.
