Hi everyone! I am making cakes on the side, and I want to come up with a name. Currently, I am using Ginger's Cakes (boring). I wanted to come up with something a little more creative, but everyone said I should use my name in it. Any suggestions will be really helpful. These are what my friends have suggested:
Ginger Bread Cakes
Ginger Snaps
Ginger and Spice
Cakes, Sugar and Spice by Ginger
Ginger Snap's Treats, Sweet and Other Eats
Ginger's Baked Creations
Gingerly Delicious
Slice of Ginger
Also, I make cupcakes and cakeballs and cakepops. I also want to maybe start adding cookie bouquets. Let me know what you think, and if you can think of anything else. I have thought and thought, and I just can't come up with anything that I really like.
Thank you so much for your help!
Gingerlicious Creations
Ginger's Sweets
Ginger's Edible Delights
A Little Taste of Ginger
.... this is fun!
Sweets by Ginger
and my favorite.... A Touch of Ginger!
I like Ginger Snap's Sweet Treats
Thank you Moovaughan and ame, those are great! It is going to be hard to decide
Try choosing something without too many syllables (for answering a business phone line), and stay away from tongue twisters that are difficult to say the separate words clearly.
Sugar and Spice.
Nice ring, simple easy to remember and makes for an easy web address
I like "A Little Taste of Ginger" but that might be kind of funky, since your name is Ginger. I get it, but if you replaced Ginger with my name, Jen, it would be wierd - get it?
What about something like Gingerly Delicious? Or Gingerly Delectable?
I like Ginger & Spice too...
Thank you everyone so much! You all have such great suggestions. It is going to be very hard to decide which one I want to you use. But I have some time, since I won't be starting my side business until September 1st. Just want to come up with a name before then .
Thanks again for your help!
How about just Ginger Cakes
What about Ginger Snap's Sweet Shop?
H about, Snappy Sweets by Ginger, or Ginger's Snappy Sweets?
Ginger And Spice for the name ..... "and everything nice" for a little tagline. Would look adorable on a website or business card

It is fashionable to blame the International Monetary Fund for the wave of financial turmoil that has swept emerging markets since Mexico's ``Tequila crisis'' of 1994. By bailing out countries in trouble time and again, the IMF allegedly encouraged investors to take unwarranted risks, plowing money into countries without properly assessing whether they could ever pay it back. According to IMF critics, bailouts allowed leaders from Brazil to Turkey to avoid painful but necessary reforms, with the perverse effect of making crises inevitable.
This argument - an example of what economists call ``moral hazard'' - is easy on the mind, but it has feet of clay. In fact, foreign investment in emerging markets already started to subside after 1995, then plummeted with the Asian crisis of 1997, and has remained low ever since - even as the IMF orchestrated many of the bailouts that allegedly distorted investor behavior in the first place!
Moreover, foreign investment in emerging markets shifted after 1994 to factories, real estate, service industries, and so forth. Unlike foreign bondholders, who could cut and run after the IMF guaranteed that they would be paid, these direct investors suffered major losses when crisis struck--and thus can hardly be said to have benefited from bailouts.
Ever since the beginning of the 1990s, when private credit to emerging markets soared to roughly ten times its annual average in 1970-89, the main source of financial contagion has not been moral hazard, but what might best be called globalization hazard. The hazard struck after 1996, when foreign private investors fled emerging markets even faster than they had flooded them. For example, in 1997-98 Thailand suffered an outflow of foreign capital equivalent to 26% of GDP, despite a solid record of sustained economic growth.

I agree with the basic point in this New York Times story – which is that it's pointless to try to time the market – but this argument hardly makes the case:
H. Nejat Seyhun, a professor of finance at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, put together a study in 2005 for Towneley Capital Management, where he tested the long-term damage that investors could do to their portfolios if they missed out on the small percentage of days when the stock market experienced big gains.
From 1963 to 2004, the index of American stocks he tested gained 10.84 percent annually in a geometric average, which avoided overstating the true performance. For people who missed the 90 biggest-gaining days in that period, however, the annual return fell to just 3.2 percent. Less than 1 percent of the trading days accounted for 96 percent of the market gains.
This fall, Javier Estrada, a professor of finance at IESE Business School in Barcelona, published a similar study in The Journal of Investing that looked at equity markets in 15 nations, including the United States. A portfolio belonging to an investor who missed the 10 best days over several decades across all of those markets would end up, on average, with about half the balance of someone who sat tight throughout.
It's not that Seyhun and Estrada are wrong. I'm sure they're not. On a wonderful day the stock market can gain 4-5 per cent, sometimes even more. Of COURSE it will cost you money to miss ten such days.
But I could equally make the opposite case by observing how much money you would save by being out of the market on the worst days. I mean, there was the 1987 crash – about 25 per cent. There have been several days of losses in excess of 5 per cent in the past few weeks. Just imagine how much better off you'd been if you had missed the ten worst days of the market…
By the way, I'm all in favour of buy and hold, but this is a silly argument even though the conclusion is correct.

Matheu to Russia with love
Carlos Matheu has sealed a $3.3million (£1.6million) transfer from Independiente to Lokomotiv Moscow.
By Patricio Figueroa
Last Updated: 07/07/08 11:05pm
Central defender Carlos Matheu has sealed a $3.3million (£1.6million) transfer from Argentinean outfit Independiente to Lokomotiv Moscow.
The player also had a proposal from Greek side Olympiakos but decided to move to Russia because he was offered a four-year contract.
He was also attracted by the prospect of UEFA Champions League football next term, as well as the chance to play in an up-and-coming league.
Good opportunity
He told Sportia: "This transfer is a very good opportunity for my career.
"I got seduced by the chance of playing in Russian football because I know that now it's a league much more important than a few years ago.
"Lokomotiv is going to play in the Champions League and even their national team has played in the semi-finals if the European Cup so it's important for my career to play in an important league."

The Spa Spy Reveals Top 10 Beauty Treatments Loved By The Stars
Lisa Stokes of www.the-spa-spy.com is back with her latest blog on all things pampering...
It's no secret that the A-list are super-preened and airbrushed to perfection on the billboards and covers of the glossies. But, to be honest - in my experience as a celebrity make up artist - most of them are pretty well-prepped canvases. It's clear they invest time enhancing their smooth skin, glossy locks and manicured paws, but where and by whom?
Unless they're endorsing for the mega-beauty-bucks it's almost impossible to get the low down. So, because I believe we're ALL worth it, I took to the streets of London to investigate. I found that trends in treatments are on the turn. Celebrities are moving away from the syringe (thank the Lord), embracing the wonderful, ever evolving, non-invasive alternatives and taking a more natural approach to their beauty regimes. 'N-Tox' is the new black. 'Sombre' is the new coral.
Click through the gallery above to see my top ten beauty haunts, products and treatments loved by the stars.

Orchestra of St. LukeÂ's Continues OSL@DMC Series, 12/13
Orchestra of St. Luke's (OSL) will continue its OSL@DMC series of free events at The DiMenna Center for Classical Music with a holiday-themed Community Sing on Thursday, December 13, 2012. All are welcome to join in songs and carols accompanied by the musicians of OSL. Host Thomas Cabaniss and conductor David Rosenmeyer will lead the audience in a diverse selection of music written in English, Spanish and Hebrew-from Feliz Navidad to J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio. Between choral selections, the musicians of OSL will perform instrumental interludes from Noëls pour les instruments by Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Trumpets.
Composer and educator Thomas Cabaniss is noted for his work in opera, theater, dance, film and on the concert stage. When not composing, he helps others compose their own music, especially those who have no musical training at all. He is a frequent collaborator with OSL at Carnegie Hall's Link Up concerts for New York City students.
David Rosenmeyer is an accomplished conductor, vocal coach, pianist and accompanist, renowned for his work with orchestras and opera companies throughout the world. He is Music Director of the Fairfield County Chorale in Connecticut and Associate Conductor with the Oratorio Society of New York. He is also on the Artist Roster of the Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute, where he works with the Musical Connection series, designing and bringing engaging interactive musical outreach programs to underserved communities.
Through its OSL@DMC series, OSL presents ongoing, free events that connect audiences to the artistic process of composers and musicians. This year's OSL@DMC series began with a Subway Series concert and food drive at The DiMenna Center on September 27, 2012.
The OSL@DMC series will continue on January 11, 2013 with a concert showcasing OSL's new Amateur Musician Project (AMP) and continued partnership with the Amateur Classical Musicians Association (ACMA). On February 28, 2013 American composer Sean Shepherd will preview his new OSL commission along with the musicians of St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble.
Maestro Iván Fischer will return to The DiMenna Center on March 27, 2013 for an OSL@DMC open rehearsal of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion that will preview his concert with OSL the following evening at Carnegie Hall.

Scariest Movies Ever
Buzz In: What Is the Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen?
'Tis the season (and now the day!) to be scared out of your mind! While some people might be headed out to party the night away, many folks will get together to watch terrifying movies tonight. Of course, what scares people in movies varies from person to person. The suspense of a movie like Psycho turns some into a ball of nerves. For others, the idea of being possessed by a demonic spirit, as in the classic scary movie The Exorcist, will do the trick.
Personally, I still feel a chill down my spine when I think of the creepy, snowed-in hotel in Stephen King's The Shining and I'd prefer to not even talk about 28 Days Later because it was too traumatizing. Now it's your turn: What is hands-down the scariest movie you've ever seen?

Marine Mammals on the Menu
New study finds 87 marine mammal species consumed by people in 114 countries
The fate of the world's great whale species commands global attention as a result of heated debate between pro and anti-whaling advocates, but the fate of smaller marine mammals is less understood, specifically because the deliberate and accidental harvesting of dolphins, porpoises, manatees and other warm-blooded aquatic denizens is rarely studied or monitored.
To shed more light on the issue, researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society and Okapi Wildlife Associates have conducted an exhaustive global study of human consumption of marine mammals using approximately 900 sources of information. The main finding: since 1990, people in at least 114 countries have consumed one or more of at least 87 marine mammal species. In addition to this global review, Wildlife Conservation Society scientists work in remote countries around the world to assess and actively address the threat to dolphin populations with localized, applied conservation efforts.
The new global study appears in the most recent edition of Biological Conservation. The authors include: Dr. Martin D. Robards of the Wildlife Conservation Society; and Dr. Randall R. Reeves of Okapi Wildlife Associates.
"International bodies such as the International Whaling Commission were formed specifically to gauge the status of whale populations and regulate the hunting of these giants," said Robards, lead author of the new study. "These species, however, represent only a fraction of the world's diversity of marine mammals, many of which are being accidentally netted, trapped, and—in some instances—directly hunted without any means of tracking as to whether these harvests are sustainable."

Saturday Night At The Liberal Curmudgeon: The Beatles
This week's musical offering, The Beatles' 1964 performance of "Can't Buy Me Love," is dedicated to the billionaires David and Charles Koch and Sheldon Adelson, along with Karl Rove, co-founder of the super PAC American Crossroads. All of them thought that, following Citizens United, they could buy the 2012 presidential election. Instead, they have nothing to show for it except a lousy Romney T-shirt.

Dyfed-Powys Police say over £3,000 has been taken from people's bank accounts using a device which is often known as the Lebanese loop.
The con-trick has been used at banks and building societies in Aberystwyth, Newtown, Llandeilo, Ammanford and Carmarthen.
Detectives are now urging card holders to take extra care when using cash machines.
As part of the scam a device is placed in the cash machine so that when people go to use it, it swallows their card.
That person is then approached by a passer-by who suggests they try re-typing their bank pin number in to try and get it back.
The passer-by watches and memorises the number, later retrieving the device and the card.
Last year four people were arrested and convicted after being caught operating the scam in Llanelli.
But Inspector Alan Lewis said: "This is still happening and there have been over 30 incidents over the last month.
"Offences generally occur at night or on Saturdays and Sundays so that the victim cannot make enquires with the bank until the following Monday."
He urged anyone who sees anything suspicious to contact police straight way.
Inspector Lewis said anyone using cash machines should take certain precautions.
"Before entering your card run a finger along the card slot to feel if there is a loop in place," he said.
"ATMs will inform you on the screen if they retain your card.
"If the screen does not inform you of this fact you should be alerted to a possible con trick.
"Do not re-enter your PIN number in view of any passer-by."

For many Dorset people, the start of summer isn't heralded by the first crop of sweet strawberries, nor the thunderous applause from Wimbledon's Centre Court.
It's when a minster town stages an uplifting weekend of costume and music.
The Wimborne Folk Festival has been a staple of the local calendar for 33 years.
In 2012, due to lack of financial support, the event was declared cancelled, but was revived last year with a new committee and a new name: The Wimborne Minster Folk Festival.
It means that this year, the public can expect another family-friendly festival which runs from Friday through until Sunday.
The town will once again be filled with the colours and sounds of folk music and dance from around the UK and beyond.
Mike Carhart-Harris, chair of the festival organising committee, told Seven Days: "We'll have around 55 dance groups including Appalachian, Morris, Slovakian and local schools, as well as street entertainment, ceilidhs, paid-for concerts and children's workshops.
"New for 2014, following a grant from the John Lewis Partnership, we will have Music on the Green, near Waitrose. It's a family area. It's a first for us to have a stage here at the festival and it will feature local schools with dance and music."
This year, a raft of up-and-coming folk artists will be showcased through Folk21 – a voluntary group developing a thriving 'guest booking' folk club scene in the UK.
A selection panel chose 13 performers from a wide range of quality artists.
The festival will officially open on Friday June 13 with folk-rockers Little Johnny England alongside Greece-born George Papavgeris and The Jigantics, who include members of ColvinQuarmby and Sons of the Delta.
Saturday sees the festival's popular ceilidh in the Allendale's main hall, led by the Simon Care Trio. Meanwhile, the Quarterjack Suite will play host to Fairport Convention's Chris Leslie, Ivor Novello-winning singer-songwriter Catherine Howe alongside Fairport violinist Ric Sanders and guitarist Vo Fletcher, and Little Johnny England's PJ Wright in collaboration with US singer-songwriter Brooks Williams.
Bringing the festival to a rousing finale on Sunday June 15 will be the Gavin Davenport Band, the acclaimed singer and multi-instrumentalist returning after a barnstorming set with the Albion Band at Wimborne last year.
Fiveways, Sunray and Wimborne folk clubs will host ever-popular daytime sessions, while the Folk21 talent will perform on Saturday afternoon at the Allendale Centre.
Dance groups from all over the country will perform in the town's streets and open spaces. There will be a range of dance, music and craft workshops for all ages, a wide variety of activities on the Willow Walk family area and quality food, drink and trade stalls around the town.
Mike Carhart-Harris added: "Last year, the Wimborne community came together to ensure our annual folk festival found a new lease of life. We now want to establish the event with solid foundations so that it will continue for many years to come.
"The grant funding we receive from councils is set to decline, so we are looking for future sponsors who can support us and, in return, reach up to 35,000 people over the weekend.
"This year's festival is lining up to be another fantastic three days"
- Weekend and concert tickets for the festival are on sale from the Allendale Centre, Wimborne Tourist Information Centre, Square Records and online at wimbornefolk.co.uk.

What If "The Office" Were a Horror Film?
What If "The Office" Were a Horror Film?
Last year ushered in a mini-trend of recutting movie trailers to make the films appear to be something quite different — The Shining as a feel-good family film, for example. Are TV shows next? Someone on YouTube has reinvented "The Office" as a thriller, complete with frantic running, a creepy soundtrack, and Dwight proclaiming, "You're dead."
Tell me: Which other shows do you think could use a hysterical recut? To see the crime-thriller version of "The Office,"

This is the worst backpackers hostel i've ever visited! Staff is extremely unfriendly, rooms are very dirty, toilets are partly broken and there was no soap or toilet paper. Just don't stay at this hostel, it's horrible!

Hillary Clinton this week likely will be championed as an advocate for the underdog consumer. Is that accurate?
The big selling point for arbitration has been that reducing legal costs by blocking customer lawsuits would result in lower prices for consumers. But that hasn't been the case.
CFPB research shows that large banks are more likely to use arbitration clauses.
A case before the Supreme Court could make it harder for consumers to get their day in court if they're wronged by a bank.
Three credit card issuers face claims that they colluded to force cardholders to resolve disputes through arbitration.
An appeals court in New Jersey says you may not be able to drag your credit card company into court if you have a beef with its policies. Instead, the company can turn the dispute over to arbitration, where they have much better chances of winning. It's the second highest court to make such a ruling on
When you're mad as heck at your credit card issuer, I bet you at least once thought about screaming into the phone …"I'll see you in court!" I hate to prick your bubble, but it's probably an empty threat. The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that consumers who sign credit card agreements with arbitration clauses can't

John Cusack
John Cusack is one of Hollywood's unfailingly likable screen stars. A successful movie actor for the better part of 20 years, he can't say more than two words on-screen without being accused of displaying rampant charisma or ample cuteness (depending on who's watching). You know him best for his roles in Say Anything, Sixteen Candles, Grosse Pointe Blank, and the end-of-the-world epic, 2012.
AppealBy holding a boombox over his head in Say Anything, John Cusack became the movie world's ideal romantic good guy, setting a new standard for cuteness and integrity that every man has since been expected to live up to. While he's a very prolific Hollywood star, John Cusack is notoriously private in his personal life. One of Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars, he's also one of Tropopkin's Top 15 Most Intriguing People. John Cusack's off-screen enigmatic nature has ultimately worked to his benefit, giving his characters more room to breathe and allowing his female admirers to bond with the romantic cynics (High Fidelity) and quirky goofballs (Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer) that he often inhabits on-screen.
Where famous girlfriends are concerned, blonds are out of luck if they hope to bed John Cusack. As evidenced by his relationships with Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Claire Forlani, Minnie Driver, and Neve Campbell, he prefers women with dark hair. Maybe that's why John Cusack's most visible stalker, Emily Leatherman, thought she had a shot. After regularly sending him letters attached to rocks and screwdrivers, she was later arrested after taking a cab ride to his California residence and refusing to pay the bill. If only she hadn't left her boombox at home…
SuccessOnce an honorary member of the infamous '80s Brat Pack in films like Sixteen Candles and The Sure Thing, John Cusack broke free of teen stardom (which he quipped as having been "disgusting enough") and has continued to make an honest living as an "actor's actor." Now alternating between off-center but well-received films (The Grifters, Being John Malkovich, Grosse Pointe Blank) and the occasional mainstream blip (Con Air, 1408, Identity, and the upcoming 2012) to keep things interesting, John Cusack is Robert Downey Jr. without the sordid drug history -- a choosy actor with a wealth of talent.
Despite his industry status as a real actor (keep dreaming, Zac Efron), John Cusack has yet to win an Oscar, let alone be nominated for one. He did, however, get a Golden Globe nomination for his critically acclaimed turn in High Fidelity and a similar nom from the Independent Spirit Awards for Being John Malkovich. With his most visible award being a Favorite Supporting Actor statuette from the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, many critics and fans would agree that John Cusack's talent is criminally underrated.
John Cusack BiographyBorn to an activist-minded mother and a film producer-director father and surrounded by four actor siblings (most notably Joan Cusack), John Cusack first discovered acting by performing in regional theater productions. His early ties to theater came courtesy of the Piven Theatre Workshop, which featured another aspiring actor Jeremy Piven, his lifelong friend.
Honorary Brat Pack status would come for John Cusack in 1984 with a supporting role in the Anthony Michael Hall-Molly Ringwald special Sixteen Candles and continued on as he got leads in One Crazy Summer (opposite Demi Moore) and The Sure Thing (featuring Nicolette Sheridan). It would be his one-two punch of playing a decent baseball man tainted by scandal (Eight Men Out) and a classic good guy chasing a very smart girl (Say Anything) that would set John Cusack apart from the rest of the Brat Pack and establish him as a genuine talent.
john cusack stars in the grifters and grosse pointe blankAs the youngest of three con-artists in 1990's modern-day caper classic, The Grifters, John Cusack held his own against formidable screen dames Annette Bening and Anjelica Huston, and became a go-to guy for edgy, eccentric movies. Woody Allen's 1994 effort, Bullets Over Broadway cast him as a playwright surrounded by dysfunctional divas and 1999's Spike Jonze-Charlie Kaufman collaboration, Being John Malkovich featured John Cusack as a puppeteer playing head games with Catherine Keener and Cameron Diaz inside the mind of a very confused John Malkovich.
In between Broadway and Malkovich, John Cusack showed himself to be adept at both carrying and supporting more mainstream productions. In 1997 alone, he offered up examples of each -- first as Martin Q. Blank, a hitman returning to his 10 year high school reunion in Grosse Pointe Blank and then as Vince Larkin, a U.S. Marshall who gets caught amidst the overblown testosterone and inmate-induced carnage onboard Nicolas Cage's Con Air. He would get his biggest critical kudos to date as a romantically disillusioned record store junkie Rob Gordon in the 2000 film version of High Fidelity.
john cusack stars in 1408 and 2012As he continues to walk the tightrope between mainstream fare and edgy independents, John Cusack's fan base remains solid and his place in movie folklore is unbroken. Some of his most successful efforts recently have come via the horror and suspense genre. The 2003 thriller Identity found him trapped at a hotel with a mysteriously dying strangers including Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet and Jake Busey (at least it wasn't Gary), and for 2007's 1408, he went the Stephen King route as an author who is dared to spend one night in the world's scariest hotel room.
John Cusack will continue to thrill and chill through the rest of 2009 and beyond. In the Pearl Harbor-era Shanghai, he investigates government corruption alongside Gong Li and then hopes to survive a doomsday disaster in 2012. He will also be front and center in 2010's The Factory, as a fearless cop who is faced with the prospect of solving his own daughter's abduction. Even if we don't know exactly how these films will turn out, we can be sure that John Cusack won't stray too far from his charismatic persona and his ever-loving fans will be delighted with the results.

Drive to end Madagascar crisis
Madagascar's former president, Didier Ratsiraka, has arrived in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa for a special African summit on the political crisis in his country.
The Organisation of African Unity (OAU) is holding the summit in a fresh attempt to end the political deadlock that has engulfed the Indian Ocean island since the disputed presidential election in December.
His rival, the newly proclaimed president Marc Ravalomanana, is not expected to take part.
A spokesman for Mr Ravalomanana's government blamed the attack on supporters of Mr Ratsiraka.
Earlier, the new Madagascan Government said it would take legal action against Mr Ratsiraka and a group of alleged French mercenaries who it claims tried to enter the island in support of the former president.
The 12 men returned to France on Thursday, where they were questioned by French police.
But the French authorities said they were allowed to go free because they had committed no crime under French law.
On Friday, three members of the pro-Ravalomanana government left the capital Antananarivo for the Addis meeting.
But Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, who is chairing the summit, said Mr Ravalomanana would not be attending.
OAU plan
Mr Wade is being joined at the summit by the leaders of Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, as well as the deputy president of South Africa and foreign ministers from Togo, Namibia, Egypt, and Gabon.
Diplomats say the meeting will focus on an OAU plan put forward on 9 June.
It envisages a transitional government with an equal number of representatives from both the Ratsiraka and Ravalomanana camps to lead the country to early general elections.
Hopes for a peaceful solution appeared to fade on the eve of the Addis meeeting as Mr Ravalomanana withdrew an offer of amnesty for Mr Ratsiraka.
Crisis deepens
Mr Ravalomanana accused his rival of involvement in the alleged attempt to send French mercenaries to Madagascar to try to destabilise the new government.
The political crisis erupted six months ago, after presidential elections which the two men claimed to have won. Later, Mr Ravalomanana was formally declared the winner and appointed a government.
The BBC's Jonny Donovan in Antananarivo says that for many people in Madagascar, the latest breakdown in relations between the two camps means that Mr Ratsiraka's time is over.

Wittenberg University Preps For 165th Commencement Exercises
May 14, 2010
Filed in Featured
Springfield, Ohio — For the 165th time in its illustrious history, Wittenberg University will hold Commencement exercises. The 2010 event is scheduled to take place in the traditional Commencement Hollow location, where members of the university community will celebrate scholarship with 419 degree candidates slated to cross the stage.
The Myers Hall bell will toll at 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m. and again at noon on Saturday to notify the campus that the ceremony will be held in its intended outdoor location at the scheduled time of 1:30 p.m. If the bell does not ring, that will be a signal that the ceremony will be held in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) Center, with the doors scheduled to open at noon. Guests should be seated at either venue no later than 1 p.m.
If the ceremony is moved to the HPER Center, doors to Pam Evans Smith Arena will close at 1:15 p.m. to allow for movement of the academic procession. No one will be permitted to enter the arena after the doors have closed. Guests without tickets are welcomed and encouraged to view the ceremony via a video broadcast transmitted to classrooms throughout Hollenbeck Hall.
Special parking and seating have been arranged for physically disabled guests. For Commencement exercises held outdoors, physically disabled guests may enter campus before noon through the drive on North Plum Street. A Wittenberg security officer will be at the driveway entrance to give instructions for parking and seating. In the event the exercises are held indoors, physically disabled guests may be dropped off in front of the HPER Center. Because of limited space in the HPER Center, seating is at a premium, so disabled guests may be seated with only one friend or family member.
Those scheduled for recognition during the Commencement ceremony include 16 "non-traditional" students from the School of Community Education and 12 international students. The Class of 2010 is comprised of 260 females and 159 males, with management, biology, English, education, communication, political science and psychology representing the most popular majors with 33 or more graduates apiece.
Twenty-four states and nine countries outside of the United States are represented within the graduating class. Undergraduate degrees to be awarded are Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music Education and Bachelor of Music, in addition to Master of Arts in Education.
A total of 125 graduates will earn Latin honors in recognition of their exceptional academic pursuits. Forty-eight of them will be designated cum laude (3.5-3.69 grade point average), 27 magna cum laude (3.7-3.79) and 50 summa cum laude (3.8-4.0).
The 2010 Commencement speaker is international AIDS activist Zackie Achmat, who will receive an honorary doctor of humane letters during the ceremony. Achmat and Ho Pak Kong, Wittenberg class of 1950 and founder of Hong Kong-based Lotus International Ltd., will receive the same honorary degrees during the event, while Professor of Emeritus of English and Mark Twain scholar Richard Veler, class of 1958, will receive the university's highest non-academic award, the Wittenberg Medal of Honor.
Founder and chairman of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), the most well-known and successful AIDS activist group in South Africa, Achmat is committed to ensuring that HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence. In April 2001, TIME Magazine named Achmat its Person of the Week, citing his leadership in the "campaign to secure treatment for South Africa's 4.7 million HIV patients" and the "epic victory" that year "when 39 pharmaceutical companies withdrew a lawsuit to block South Africa from importing cheaper generic copies of patented AIDS drugs." Achmat's work, the magazine continued, raised "new hope for millions of AIDS sufferers throughout the developing world."

GEORGETOWN, Ky. – Phi Kappa Tau has announced that Tyler C. Wash has been named executive director for the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation. The Danville, Ky., native graduated from GC in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in political science.
According to a release, he is the awards chairman for the Fraternity Communications Association and is actively involved with the North American Interfraternity Conference Foundation and Fraternity Executives Association.
Wash has served on the Phi Kappa Tau Executive Offices staff in Oxford, Ohio, for five years. During that time he has held several roles, including coordinator of volunteer development. He has also been editor-in-chief of The Laurel since January.
"The foundation and fraternity are very fortunate to have Tyler moving into this role," said CEO Tim Hudson, Truman State '97.
"His experience on the staff and his strong work ethic will greatly benefit the organization. With his track record for improving processes and cultivating growth, and with his strong relationship with the Foundation Board of Trustees, Phi Kappa Tau is well positioned to provide benefits to future generations of members."
Wash said he is excited about this new opportunity to serve Phi Kappa Tau.
"Our Foundation plays an important and vital role in ensuring the future success of Phi Kappa Tau's mission," he said.
"I am very thankful that I am surrounded by talented staff, dedicated trustees and countless donors, supporters and loyal brothers who are enthusiastic about the future of our historic fraternity. It is humbling to know we are all bound together by our passion for our cardinal principles and by the realization that the Phi Kappa Tau experience can truly impact people's lives in significant ways."
Wash was actively involved in the Georgetown College chapter as an undergraduate.

The official release date of the 'retail version' of Radiohead's The King Of Limbs is nearing. We got our hands on a copy of both the CD and Vinyl. Here's what's inside; the artwork and the credits, which actually include the name of Drew Barrymore
There's been some speculation on the contents of the album, expecting a bit more than the eight tracks that have been made available digitally last month. But this edition of The King Of Limbs has those same eight tracks. The cd is housed in a 4-page wallet, with the actual cd in a slit on the right side. On the left page you can see 8 illustrations accompanied by the following titles; Roots Of Roots, Ragnorok, Urpflanze, The King Of Limbs, Codex, Axis Mundi, Yggdrasil and Arbor Philosophica. The albums credits are below. The back has the word RADIOHEAD mirrored and the track list. Catalogue number is TICK001CD.
For the vinyl (TICK001LP) expect the same front and back as the cd. The actual record is housed in an inner sleeve with a drawing (like the right page on the cd edition) on one side, and the drawings and credits on the other side. Inside the sleeve you'll find a card with a download code to obtain the digital edition of The King Of Limbs.
Expect the same edition of the CD and Vinyl in all territories as all labels (XL Recordings, TBD Records, Hostess Entertainment) have their logo's on the back. There's one other logo, which is Ticker Tape Ltd. It looks like this is the name of the band's own label and publisher.
And last, but not least, the credits: The music and sounds of The King Of Limbs were conjured up by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich. The imagery was summoned up by Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain. Engineered and mixed by Nigel Godrich. Additional engineering by Drew Brown. Additional assistance by Darrell Thorp and Bryan Cooke. Flugelhorn on Bloom and Codex performed by Noel Langley and Yazz Ahmed. Strings on Codex performed by The London Telefilmonic Orchestra, led by Levine Andrale and conducted by Robert Ziegler. Mastered by Robert C. Ludwig at Gateway Mastering & DVD. Also thanks to Peter Yozell, and Neil Whitcher. Studio equipment etc., kept going by Plank. Ourselves kept going by Kat and Tim. And our office! A big thank you very much indeed to Drew Barrymore. This one's for new Henry, Zohar and all our little ones. Hello Guys
As you've noticed no recording location has been given, but thanking Drew Barrymore might confirm the earlier rumours that the album was indeed recorded at Barrymore's house. Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain are credited for the artwork, who are obviously the new alter egos of Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.
Radiohead will release The King Of Limbs on Monday, March 28th in Europe and Tuesday, March 29th in North America. Several countries have an earlier street date: Friday, March 25th.

I admit to wondering if Bayer was in any way involved with the production of the video. [Ed.: It was not.].
Is the chronic use of aspirin being singled out? Shouldn't there be a warning on all NSAIDS that the chronic use can lead to health disparities? We certainly are beginging to recognize that the chronic use of acetaminophen can have deadly negative consequences. What dosage is too much? Baby aspirin seems to have limited impact on the bio systems..
nicholas perrone
Am 84 yrs old and have been taking 2 325 mg enteric aspirin daily starting about 43 yrs ago; about 10 yrs ago reduced it to 1 325 mg/day. Doing it to reduce joint arthritic problems and also effective for cardio and general health. Never had any gastric problems (I think because of coating on aspirin). Am physically very active playing tennis 3 times weekly and using treadmill also intermittently.( I think I run on a tennis court as fast as I did 40 years ago.) Starting taking aspirin 43 yrs ago because it was recommended by an orthopod after examining X rays related to hip pain. First orthopod saw a lesion in the trocanter (suggested major surgery) but second one deduced it was the beginning of arthritis and started the aspirin therapy..

FORTUNE -- Mark Zuckerberg never wanted to take Facebook (fb) public. He didn't want to kiss hedge fund rings or answer to thousands of shareholders or disclose earnings.
And, on Wall Street, the feeling was mutual. Institutional investors also didn't want Zuckerberg to take Facebook public unless he added some big-name "adult" supervision. After all, what does a 20-something know about running a multi-billion dollar public corporation? Just imagine the costly mistakes he would make.
But Zuckerberg didn't really have much of a choice. Due to the company's employee compensation strategy, and its early embrace of private secondary market trading, he knew that going public was inevitable. So he did what he was told, and hired a bunch of "adults."
First it hired Sheryl Sandberg to be chief operating officer. Then, several months later, Ted Ullyot joined as general counsel. Finally, David Ebersman was brought aboard in 2009 as chief financial officer, following an exhaustive search for a CFO "with public company experience."
Then Zuckerberg went back to his desk to code, strategize and somehow make his dormroom project even more globally ubiquitous. His "adults" would take care of the boring legwork, and he'd learn some things by watching them.
From an AP story just days before Facebook's recent IPO:
Zuckerberg, who lives in Palo Alto, Calif. with his girlfriend and a white Hungarian Puli dog named Beast, has matured as a leader with the help of experienced mentors. One of his closest advisors is Sheryl Sandberg, who he hired away from Google in 2008. Zuckerberg, known for sometimes-awkward public appearances, realized that the razor-sharp, people-savvy advertising executive complements his own shortcomings. Sandberg is Zuckerberg's No. 2, the chief operating officer who oversees advertising and often serves as Facebook's smiling, public face. Then there's Donald Graham, the 66-year-old CEO and chairman of The Washington Post Co., who serves as a mentor to Zuckerberg and holds a seat on Facebook's board of directors.
Rebecca Lieb, analyst at the Altimeter Group, says Zuckerberg has assembled a team of "truly exceptional lieutenants." David Ebersman, Facebook's chief financial officer, who hails from biotech firm Genentech, is another example. Zuckerberg hired him in 2009, saying that Ebersman's previous job, helping to scale the finance organization of the fast-growing biotech company "will be important to Facebook."
Today, however, it seems that those mentors might have led the kid, and his company, astray.
First there's Sandberg, who apparently recused herself from the underwriter selection process, apparently because she had existing relationships with certain bankers from her time with Google (goog). Pardon me, but wouldn't such relationships actually have been important? Not to get bankers to take on Facebook as a client -- everyone wanted them -- but because she might have a better sense of who would, and wouldn't, be the best fit? And, once Facebook did pick her pal Michael Grimes over at Morgan Stanley (ms), wouldn't it have been good to have a third opinion in the room -- particularly one so close to both key players?
Then there is Ebersman, who oversees a financial operation that allegedly warned underwriter analysts -- but not others -- to cut Q2 guidance estimates. If true, what he did may actually have violated securities regulations -- and also means he shouldn't be too quick to count his unvested shares.
To be sure, the buck ultimately stops with Zuckerberg, because he is Facebook's CEO. But today he's got to be wondering if he was too trusting. Not only of those he put in charge, but of those who told him he needed adult supervision in the first place.

The male shooting victim was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. His name is being withheld by police pending notification of his relatives.
The suspect in the shooting has been detained by police and is being questioned by detectives, who are also speaking with witnesses to the shooting.

LU No. 2 Seed at Big South Golf Championship
The event, which will be hosted at The Patriot Club at Grand Harbor in Ninety-Six, S.C. for the fifth time in six years, starts with 18 holes of competition on Monday. Play will continue with 18 additional holes on Tuesday and Wednesday on the par 72, 7,079 yard course where the team champion will walk away with the Big South's title and automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals.
At last year's event, the Flames were led by Preston Dembowiak, when the Summerfield, N.C., native posted the best outing during the first two years of his collegiate career and helped Liberty finish as the league's runner-up for the first time in program history.
On the same The Patriot Club course, Dembowiak fired a 10-over par 226 (76-73-77) to finish in a tie for sixth place, helping him earn Big South all-conference honors. 2009 Big South Freshman of the Year Robert Karlsson followed behind him, carding a 15-over par 231 (80-75-76) to take a share of 12th place.
Coastal Carolina continued its stranglehold on the Big South men's golf title, as the Chanticleers won their sixth-straight league championship and 12th in conference history.
2009 Big South Golfer of the Year Zack Byrd finished three shots clear of the field with a five-over par 221 (75-67-79) and the other four golfers on Coastal Carolina's roster each finished inside the Top 6.
Coastal Carolina finished the three-day event with a 27-over par 891 (297-286-308), while the Flames followed in second place by posting a 58-over par 922 (318-294-310). The final ranking was the best in program history at the conference event, bettering a third-place finish at the Colonial Charters Country Club in 1992 and at The Patriot Club in 2005.
This year's Big South Men's Golf Championship pits the Flames and the Chanticleers once again as the top two programs; however, Liberty's strong regular-season showing has the Flames right on the heels of the Chanticleers.
Coming into the week, Coastal Carolina currently ranks No. 70 in the latest Golfweek collegiate team rankings, followed closely behind by Liberty at No. 85. The next best program in the Big South is Charleston Southern, who is ranked No. 125 and will be seeded No. 3 in next week's league championship event.
Individually, there are four golfers currently ranked inside the Golfstat weekly rankings, with two being on Liberty's roster. Freshman Max McKay is the top ranking Big South golfer at No. 90, while his teammate Karlsson is listed at No. 233. Coastal Carolina's Dan Obremski is ranked No. 186, while Charleston Southern's Kelvin Day is listed at No. 176.
The quartet is the four top golfers in the Big South coming into the event, as shown by their season stroke averages.
Day leads the Big South with a 72.81 stroke average, followed closely behind by McKay's 72.85 stroke average. Karlsson will enter the Big South event with a 72.89 stroke average, while Obremski ranks fourth in the league with a 73.37 stroke average.
Coastal Carolina has four of its five starters listed inside the Big South's Top 20 scoring leaders, while the Flames have three golfers in the listing. After McKay and Karlsson, Dembowiak rounds out Liberty's trio, as he ranks No. 16 with a 75.22 season mark.
The Patriot Club is hosting the Big South Men's Golf Championship for the fifth time in six years, as the course hosted the event in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
The 2010 Big South Men's Golf Championship begins this weekend with a practice round on Sunday, April 18. The three-day, 54-hole event will be played April 19-21 and is free and open to the public.
The Big South Conference championship schedule is as follows:
Sunday, April 18 (11 a.m.) - Practice Round
Monday, April 19 (8 a.m.) - First Round
8:00 - 8:40 a.m. – No. 7 High Point, Presbyterian College
8:50 - 9:30 a.m. – No. 4 Gardner-Webb, No. 5 Winthrop, No. 6 Radford
9:40 - 10:20 a.m. – No. 1 Coastal Carolina, No. 2 Liberty, No. 3 Charleston Southern
Tuesday, April 20 (8 a.m.) - Second Round
Wednesday, April 21 (8 a.m.) - Final Round
Meanwhile, the Big South Conference will announce half of its 2010 all-conference team, which is based on regular-season performance, and the All-Academic Team on Sunday evening following the practice round. The 2010 annual award winners, as well as the remaining all-conference performers based on conference championship finish, will be announced on Wednesday during the post-championship awards ceremony.

Death Threats Rampant For Anti- Justin Bieber Program Creator
Whether he knows it or not, Justin Bieber has an army of young girls eagerly waiting to spill blood in his name.
Greg Leuch from Toronto created a program, called 'Shaved Bieber', to filter out everything Bieber related on the internet for those people who can't stand to see his face anymore, and throngs of Justin's fans threatened Leuch's life.
All the hate collected on the website that contains Leuch's blog. One girl claimed that five million people, including her, were enraged with Leuch, and many posts simply said 'die!'
We think Justin Bieber is famous enough to squash this movement.

Fast Analytics on Operational Data? Cassandra and Spark Have You CoveredMay 8, 2014
In the Cassandra community over the last year, we have seen rapid adoption of Apache Spark. In many ways, we have Evan Chan (@evanfchan), previously of Ooyala, to thank for this.
Last June at Cassandra Summit 2013, Evan gave a presentation about his work with Cassandra, Spark, and Shark, which was all about real-time analytics on Cassandra data.
So, why is the Cassandra community adopting Spark for analytics? Well…as Brian O'Neill (@boneill42) of Health Market Science puts it, "Sure, you could go grab Hadoop, and be locked into articulating analytics/transformations as MapReduce constructs. But that just makes people sad. Instead, I'd recommend Spark. It makes people happy".
The Cassandra and Spark communities are going to be even happier with today's news that DataStax and Databricks, the company driving Apache Spark, have announced a partnership to make it easier to integrate Cassandra and Spark together and code will be contributed back to the open source community.
Chanan Braunstein of Pearson Education sums up the benefits of such a partnership nicely:"The new Spark/Shark functionality on Cassandra is giving our users a scalable and high-performance way to quickly analyze our constantly growing data set. By moving from a relational database, this new functionality will allow us to deliver real-time data analytics where before our users relied on time delayed reports".
If you're interested in learning more about Cassandra and Spark together, be sure to attend Spark Summit 2014 from June 30th to July 2nd and Cassandra Summit 2014 on September 10th and 11th, both hosted in San Francisco, CA.

The state of Colorado encompasses some of the nation's most dramatic scenery, thanks to the Rocky Mountains cutting a trail right through the heart of the state. Colorado isn't just mountains though; it also includes some popular and vibrant cities such as Denver, and Colorado Springs, which attract thousands of visitors every year. But how are these cities to live in year-round? What are crime and safety levels like in Colorado's 10 ten largest cities?
10. Pueblo
Bringing up the rear as the worst rated of Colorado's biggest cities is Pueblo. Set 43 miles south of Colorado Springs, the city of Pueblo is known for having the cheapest residential housing in the state, but if you want affordable living, consider the fact that the crime index is 112 percent higher than the Colorado average, at 5,832.
9. Lakewood
Despite being named an All-America City for the first time in 2011, Lakewood doesn't rank too well on the crime and safety stats. It is the ninth safest city in Colorado with a crime index that is 70 percent above state average – at 4,681. Lakewood is Colorado's fifth largest city.
8. Denver
Usually the largest city in a state is the one with the worst reputation for crime, but not here in Colorado. Denver is actually the eighth safest city in the state and has a crime index that is 56 percent above the state average at 4,291. Denver is both the largest city, and the capital of Colorado, home to around 634,000 and famed as the Mile High City.
7. Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is known as one of the country's best places to live, ranking highly for its lifestyle and recreation. It's the home of one of America's most famous mountains, Pikes Peak, and is the second largest city in Colorado. The Springs doesn't rank too badly in terms of crime either – it is the seventh safest large city in Colorado. The crime index is 52 percent above state average, at 4,185.
6. Aurora
Aurora is Colorado's third largest city, home to around 339,000 people. Aurora is a principal city of the Denver Metropolitan Area and its nicknamed "Gateway to the Rockies." The crime index for Aurora is 24 percent above the Colorado average, at 3,424.
5. Thornton
This suburb of Denver is just 10 miles from the state capitol yet it's a city in its own right, home to around 124,000 people which makes it the sixth largest city in Colorado. Thornton is also ranked the fifth safest city in the state with its crime index of 3420, 24 percent above the state average.
4. Fort Collins
Historic Fort Collins is a beautiful city that combines history with modern living. It's located about 57 miles north of Denver and is the fourth largest city in the state. In terms of crime and safety, Fort Collins is the fourth safest city in Colorado, out of the state's largest cities, and has a crime index of 3,203 – 16 percent above state average.
3. Westminster
With a population around 109,000, Westminster is the eighth largest city and the third safest place to live in Colorado. Its crime index is just 5 percent above the state average, at 2,823. Westminster is a northwest suburb of Denver and it's home to Westminster Castle – once known as the Princeton of the West.
2. Boulder
Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is a popular place for many reasons. It's frequently ranked among the nation's top cities for quality of life, and is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts. Boulder is the second safest city in Colorado with its crime index of 2,792 – just 1 percent higher than the state average.
1. Arvada
The city of Arvada comes out as the safest city in Colorado with a crime index of 2,501 and that's 8 percent below the state average. Arvada is within the Denver metro area and the historic downtown is a popular attraction. The city is home to around 110,000 residents and the seventh largest city in Colorado.

By Johnny Kampis | Missouri Watchdog
ST. LOUIS — U.S. Rep. Todd Akin's future in the U.S. Senate race grew increasingly cloudy Monday, after the firestorm he created with his comments on a local morning news show Sunday only increased in intensity.
Akin, who represents District 2, drew national ire from all sides Sunday, when he said on the Jaco Report on Fox 2 news in St. Louis that women are unlikely to get pregnant during a "legitimate rape."
The GOP nominee for the Missouri U.S. Senate seat now occupied by Democrat Claire McCaskill faced calls for his resignation from many in his own party.
Akin said on former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's radio show Monday morning that he would stay in the race, but news reports citing unnamed sources claimed Akin planned to pull out Tuesday.
McCaskill is considered vulnerable, and recent polling numbers had Akin up by about 10 percentage points prior to his comments.
"I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri," U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., said in a statement.
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Akin's comments were "wildly offensive to any victim of sexual abuse."
"Although Representative Akin has apologized, I believe he should take time with his family to consider whether this statement will prevent him from effectively representing our party in this critical election," McConnell said in a statement.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told Akin the committee would not invest in him this fall even though $5 million had been reserved for the Missouri GOP nominee.
"It has been communicated to the congressman from the committee that by staying in this race, he is putting not just this seat but the GOP's prospects for a Senate majority at great risk," an official from that committee told the Los Angeles Times.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney told the National Review that Akin's comments were "insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong."
U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, endorsed Akin during an April campaign stop in Missouri. It's not clear if he still supports him.
"We will figure out how to reduce government spending and we reduce the reach of government in our lives," said King during the April speech. "When you do that you expand American freedom and American liberty. That's what he does every day."
"It is really important that Missouri stands up and elects a patriotic constitutional conservative to the United States Senate," King said, referring to Akin.
King, a five-term congressman, did not return calls and emails from Watchdog seeking comment Monday.
Akin's poor choice of words wasn't the first time he potentially misstepped on an abortion issue.
Akin was one of 227 U.S. House members last year to co-sponsor H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. That bill would limit federal money to pay for abortions for victims of only "forcible rape."
When critics questioned that language, the wording "forcible" was removed. The bill was passed by the House in a bipartisan effort, 251-175, and the U.S. Senate has yet to take it up.
Nadia Brown, a political science professor at St. Louis University, told Missouri Watchdog that the "national outrage will inhibit" Akin's chances of election if he chooses to stay in the race.
She said she suspects Akin's comments will put the Missouri Senate race further into the national limelight, drawing more attention — as well as campaign contributions and superPAC spending.
"McCaskill will benefit from the outside interest," Brown said.
The YouTube page on which the Jaco Report video was posted had received six likes and 210 dislikes Monday afternoon. Akin posted a statement apologizing for his comment on his Facebook page, drawing dozens more negative comments.
"In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year," Akin wrote.
Akin, who gave up his House seat after six terms to run for Senate, said he recognized abortion was a "very emotionally charged issue" and that he believes "deeply in the protection of all life."
"I also recognize that there are those who, like my opponent, support abortion and I understand I may not have their support in this election."
McCaskill is staunchly pro-choice, and one of her top contributors is an organization that supports abortion rights, Missouri Watchdog reported in July.
On issues of abortion, Akin has been consistent in his opposition.
During his congressional career, Akin has voted against embryonic stem cell research and partial-birth abortions and for restricting the interstate transportation of minors to get abortions.
The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League gave Akin a rating of 0 percent for his congressional voting record, while National Right to Life rated Akin 100 percent for his pro-life positions.
Akin told a Kansas City radio station two weeks ago that the morning-after pill should be banned, calling it a form of abortion.
On his campaign website, Akin wrote that "a government that doesn't protect innocent life fails at one of its most basic roles."
Iowa Watchdog's Sheena Dooley contributed to this report.

Monessen police nab suspected drug dealer
Monessen police arrested a city man – already on federal probation – for allegedly selling drugs out of his residence.
Jerome Pryor, 27, of 1218 Summit Ave., was charged with four felony counts of manufacture, delivery, or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver and two misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Charges were filed by Monessen police Lt. Jim Smith.
Pryor was arraigned Thursday in front of Magisterial District Judge Joseph Dalfonso and sent to the Westmoreland County Prison in lieu of $250,000 straight cash bond.
His arrest was a result of a joint investigation between Monessen police and the state attorney general's office.
The investigation began after police received numerous complaints about suspected drug activity at Pryor's residence.
Officers made a third controlled buy of heroin from Pryor at his residence 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, according to Monessen police Chief John Mandarino.
Pryor allegedly sold 24 stamp bags to the undercover agent before police executed an arrest warrant at his residence. The warrant was for drug charges from a seperate case, Mandarino said.
When police went inside his residence, Pryor walked upstairs and allegedly attempted to hide 25 additional stamp bags in the toilet tank.
Mandarino said Pryor was already on house arrest and wearing an electric ankle monitor on federal charges for running a credit card scam.
The Westmoreland County District Attorney's office placed a 72-hour detainer on Pryor, making him ineligible for bail during that time.
Pryor's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 13 in front of Dalfonso.

Europe's Largest Economy Grinding to a Halt
With all the problems going on in Europe, there is a huge question mark as to whether Germany, Europe's largest and strongest economy, will get dragged over the cliff along with the rest of the Eurozone. Recent statements by the Bundesbank are adding some weight to investors' fears.
Consider German Growth May Grind to a Halt as Region's Crisis Saps Exports
Growth in Germany, Europe's largest economy, may slow to a near standstill next year as the region's debt crisis saps demand for exports, the Bundesbank said.
The Frankfurt-based central bank cut its 2012 growth forecast to between 0.5 percent and 1 percent from a June prediction of 1.8 percent, and said a "pronounced" period of economic weakness can't be ruled out if the crisis worsens.
"The significant weakening in foreign demand coupled with financial market nervousness" means "the German economy faces more difficult terrain in the months ahead," the Bundesbank said in its monthly bulletin published today. There are "weighty" risks to the outlook, it said.
Also, Germany's stock market index, the DAX, has just broke through its neckline on a head-and-shoulders top—"one of the most reliable trend-reversal patterns" according to Investopedia—projecting a 12% decline back to the September lows. (See comment below for how this is calculated)
(A correction below the head-and-shoulder's neckline is estimated as being equal to the size of the highest point above, in the head.)
On this side of the Atlantic, markets are also breaking down today as investors fret over the failure of the bi-partisan supercommittee to reach any sort of agreement over making much needed cuts to the federal deficit. The most worrisome aspects of this to the economy are the threat of a U.S. downgrade by credit ratings agencies, uncertainty over tax increases, and the possible end to millions receiving unemployment benefits set to expire year-end.
In positive news, the Chicago Fed announced today that its national activity index—a weighted gauge of 85 different economic indicators—edged up slightly for October, adding to the weight of a slow but strengthening U.S. economy in the face of European market risk.
