The amount of money that will be paid to the employee in remuneration for his services must be stated and also this document should mention the employer's policy on raises.
- 3. Guaranteed and discretionary bonuses
The employee should clearly derive from the job offer letter the bonus plans of the company. A minimum, maximum or a fixed amount of money that the employee will receive as guaranteed bonuses will appear and in case of discretionary bonuses it must be stated if they will be paid every year and on which criteria. In most cases, the performance of the company will be evaluated and consequently a thoroughly analysis of the employees' competence will be performed, resulting in the decision of offering or not the bonus.
- 4. Work schedule
The anticipated work schedule should be part of the job offer letter and also details should be given regarding its modifications, which might appear in order to meet business needs.
- 5. Non-compete

In some cases, you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. This requirement should be mentioned in the job offer letter and should be attached to it. You should be provided with sufficient time (at least 5 days) to consult your counsel about this request.
- 10. Evaluations
See if the company wants you to be reviewed at some time intervals and also if they will change payment depending on the results.

Landing oysters at the Kellum Docks in Virginia. (Photo Credit: Kellum Seafood Company)
Virginia expects record oyster harvest since 1988
Friday, August 16, 2013, 03:30 (GMT + 9)
The state of Virginia is consolidating as a leading oyster harvester: official sources predict the current season to be the biggest ever in the past 25 years.
Preliminary figures show over 320,000 bushels have been caught this season, representing a 28 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, reports the Daily Press.
Official reports reveal that the state of Virginia harvested oysters for a value of USD 575,000 in 2001 whereas by 2011, the dockside value reached USD 11.2 million.
During a tour of Kellum Seafood Company facilities, an oyster harvesting, packing and shucking plant in Weems, Virginia, the state's Governor, Robert F. McDonnell, highlighted the "remarkable strides" achieved by the oyster industry in Virginia and said that there are indications that this year's harvest may be the best in the past quarter-century.
"Good management has allowed us to put our excellent oysters on dinner tables around the world, to create good jobs for our citizens and to bring new revenue into our state. And we're on pace for even more growth in the oyster industry. As oyster companies like Kellum Seafood continue to grow, they know they've got a friend in Richmond. Working with the General Assembly, we're laser focused on putting in place policies that help job-creators like Tommy Kellum continue to expand their operations, and employ more Virginians in the process," said the governor.
For his part, Tommy Kellum, current partner and vice-president of Kellum Seafood was happy to point out the growth of the local oyster industry and its bright prospects.
Michael Oesterling, executive director of the Shellfish Growers of Virginia, also welcomed the industry growth. As an example, he said that in 2005 the state grew and sold less than one million farmed oysters while in 2012 the figures had jumped to 28 million.
Another important aspect of the local oyster industry is the artificial replenishment of oyster shells from the James River, initiative for which the state has already made an investment of USD 2 million. The project will create thousands of local jobs and will provide an important boost to the industry.
"While some of these oyster replenishment shells went onto our oyster sanctuaries, the majority went onto our new rotational oyster harvest areas, meaning they will be untouched for several years as they grow to adulthood and spawn a new generation of oysters before they can be harvested," commented Virginia Marine Resources Commissioner Jack Travelstead. "It is important they be harvested at that point because otherwise they are susceptible to two diseases, Dermo and MSX, which kill adult oysters. We don't want to see these oysters wasted to disease."
Virginia is the biggest producer of seafood products in the US East Coast and it is the third most important seafood producer in the United States.

Wiggins, who held a one-second lead after the first stage, has now slipped to third, 24 seconds off the pace, with Jose Antonio Redondo in second place.
Moreau held off Redondo as the pair crossed the line in the same time, 33 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.
Wiggins had held the lead since Sunday's opening time trial in the warm-up for the Tour de France.
Moreau, 36, took 3 hours 50 minutes 38 seconds to cover the
97.5 mile stage from Saint-Paul-en-Jarez to Saint-Etienne.
The Frenchman led a group of riders that broke away from the pack
containing Wiggins on the last of the stage's three moderate climbs.
Only Redondo of Spain kept pace, while Alejandro Valverde, also of Spain, was third, 33 seconds back.
Moreau, whose best Tour finish was fourth in 2000, finished runner-up at the 2006 Dauphine.
Wednesday's 25.29 mile third stage is a time trial that loops around Anneyron. The eight-stage race finishes Sunday.

Klout has generated its fair share of controversy for a while now, but the idea of using Klout scores to determine hiring decisions has taken the debate to a new level.
It's easy to see why Klout causes such a fuss. As John Koetsier writes in a post for VentureBeat, "When someone boils down our entire online existence into a single two-digit number, it's hard not to feel judged." Should Klout scores be taken as legitimate measurements of influence? The debate reached a fever pitch last week when Wired published an article featuring a VP whose job interview was cut short when it was discovered he had a low Klout score.
Critics argue that Klout's metrics are limited and somewhat arbitrary, and a significant difference may be that whereas there's a semblance of you earning your Facebook friends and Twitter followers, your Klout score is assigned to you. Despite the backlash, however, Koetsier throws his hat in Klout's corner. It shouldn't be the only criteria used to measure online influence, he argues, but it is a criteria that matters. For more on Koetsier's take on the Klout controversy, read his full post here.
What's your take? Is Klout a legitimate measurement of online influence? What role should it play in determining someone's social value and reach?

My family and I moved here in Aug 2013 and I set up the E-470 account for my two cars, amost two weeks later (not taking the e-470 ) I recieved over $75 in fees. I called the help line and tried to get a explination. They claimed my Transponder had been used multiple times and I asked for proof and they would not give any. So I took both transponders off my cars and still kept getting fees. I called them and told them that I had taken off the transponders and they noted it but I still had to pay these outragious pmts.
I have not used the dreadful road but a few times sence and they dont send bills then slap with late fees.

IQE backs Solar Junction in $19.2 million D round
2 comments
LONDON Solar Junction Inc., a developer of multi-junction cells for the concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) market, has raised $19.2 million in a Series D round of investment. IQE plc (Cardiff, Wales) is investing $5 million and receives an exclusive multi-year epitaxial wafer supply contract with Solar Junction.
The money came from current investors with additional funding and partnership from IQE plc, a supplier of engineered wafers. The money is earmarked for the scaling up of manufacturing capacity by Solar Junction (San Jose, Calif.).
Solar Junction was founded in 2007 and aims to reduce CPV module costs to less than $1 per watt of output power by taking efficiency above 50 percent. The company's cells incorporate proprietary adjustable spectrum lattice-matched, A-SLAM technology. In April 2011 Solar Junction claimed to have set a world-record of 43.5 percent efficiency for a production-ready solar cell.
"In the face of all the externalities hindering solar - pricing, overseas competition, financial markets - Solar Junction has multi-megawatt orders, the financing, the manufacturing capacity and the world record for cell efficiency that will catapult CPV into newer and bigger markets," said Jim Weldon, Solar Junction founder and CEO, in a statement.
Investors in the latest funding round were New Enterprise Associates, Advanced Technology Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) and IQE.

The university requirement for purchasing desktop and laptop computers became effective November 8, 2010. Vice Chancellors Hoit and Leffler sent out a 3D memo outlining the process (PDF).
NC State, like all other schools in the UNC system, is required to participate in this Combined Pricing Initiative (CPI) program for IT purchases (Memo released July 10, 2013).
Equipment affected
- Initially, only desktop and laptop PCs are covered by this program.
- Apple desktop and laptop computers are not yet a part of the program and may still be purchased through the MarketPlace.
Equipment funding sources covered
- While the state mandates that laptop and desktop purchases made with state managed funds must use the program, to realize the greatest savings and ensure consistency across the board, NC State has extended this requirement to purchases from any campus funding source.
- Purchases of desktop and laptop PCs must be made from the UNC-approved list of vendors and products on the current UNC CPI Pricing and Specification Matrix (Google Spreadsheet).
- The NC State MarketPlace e-procurement system must be used for all desktop and laptop computer purchases (including Apple products). Purchase orders (POs), vouchers or campus Pcards may not be used for these purchases.
- Only purchases of the standard configurations are allowed, except when non-standard configurations are required for special research, teaching, or administrative needs.
- The total expenditure for exceptions may not exceed 20% of the total of funds actually used for PC purchases (Apple computer purchases are not included in this calculation.).
- An exception process is being incorporated into the MarketPlace system: all non-standard desktop and laptop computer purchases must be approved through this process. See the Campus IT Purchasing Exception Process for NC State (PDF). Purchasing and the campus IT directors have helped compile a list of people who review exception requests for each university division/college.
Purchasing procedure for standard CPI-approved desktops and laptops
- Follow your departmental procedures for initiating a purchase in MarketPlace.
- Unit Purchaser uses MarketPlace (MP) vendor portal to select standard configuration machines to order (or standard base approved options). Current configurations of the desktops and laptops (program items) are segregated within the MarketPlace vendors' catalogs (currently Dell and Lenovo) from non-CPI program IT items (servers, peripherals, etc.).
- Unit Purchaser creates MP requisition.
- The requisition is approved at the unit level.
- If total is less than $5,000, requisition goes to vendor for order fulfillment. If total is greater than $5,000, requisition is routed to Purchasing for approval, then to vendor for order fulfillment.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/10/2013 (1406 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
What with Thanksgiving just a couple of days behind us, it might be too early to ask this next question.
What I want to know is: What is the most foul, the most disgusting thing you have ever eaten in your entire life?
All of us, either knowingly or by sheer accident, have swallowed something so awful it causes your skin to crawl and your tongue to leap out of your mouth, grow tiny feet, then skitter away and hide underneath the refrigerator.
For example, in my high school biology class, there was a pair of twin brothers who, for a quarter -- which was serious coin back when I was a kid -- would eat anything you could point at, such as the eyeballs of the frog the class was dissecting.
It would not surprise me to learn these eyeball-eating brothers are now the heads of a major corporation, or, just possibly, senior tax collectors with the Canada Revenue Agency.
In my case, the lowlight of my career in consuming occurred in the late 1970s when, in the middle of a trip through Europe, my friends and I decided (why not?) to follow the fictional trail of the characters in the novel Dracula.
So there we were, in Romania, sitting in a Romanian restaurant, trying to read the menu, which, and this will come as a huge surprise to everyone, was written in Romanian.
As an experienced traveller, I knew how to order in a strange country, so when the waiter arrived, I pointed my finger at some random words on the menu and, in an overly loud voice, blurted: "I'LL HAVE THIS!"
The waiter grimaced, then backed slowly into the kitchen. A short time later, he returned with our meals, which he plopped in front of us with a flourish. There, on my plate, was a steaming pile of... something. It appeared to be boiled tubes of what resembled some kind of large, wrinkly pasta.
I stared at the plate in abject horror, then glanced at the waiter, who was hovering over my shoulder, no doubt curious as to what my next move would be.
After frowning at the plate for several seconds, I loudly asked the waiter: "Um, what is this?"
He must have read my confused expression, because he flashed a knowing smile and, pointing at his midsection, made the following barnyard bleating sound: "Baaaaa! Baaaaa! Baaaaa!"
"He wants you to eat his colon," my friends whispered in disgust.
Then it hit me. "No," I grunted. "It's sheep intestines! A heaping plate of boiled sheep intestines!"
And I was right. You are probably wondering what they tasted like. If I could use only one word, that word would have to be "rubbery." It was like eating bicycle tires, only with far less flavour.
But that is not today's point. Today's point is I told you that story so I could share this next news story, which makes eating sheep intestines seem like a culinary walk in the park. I became aware of this real-life drama because multiple videos of the incident have received thousands of online hits since being posted on YouTube last week.
On the videos, Scot Haney, a weatherman with Connecticut TV station WFSB, is sitting around engaging in on-air banter when, suddenly, he bends over to scoop up what he believes are scraps of breakfast cereal he dropped on the studio floor earlier that day.
"You left Grape-Nuts all over here. C'mon, clean up!" one of his co-anchors chides just as Haney, on live TV, pops the scraps of "cereal" into his mouth and swallows.
"I can't believe you just ate that," WFSB anchor Irene O'Connor squeaks in dismay. "You are crazy. You just ate that off the floor. That is waaay beyond the three-second rule."
After he finishes his on-air snack, Haney's smile turns to disgust. "They're a little soggy, and they taste like shoes," he informs his colleagues and the live audience.
A few moments later, during the Trending Now segment of the show, Haney shares a revolting realization.
"Ladies and gentlemen, those were not Grape-Nuts I ate," he confesses. "I kept finding more and more of it on the floor and I thought it was Grape-Nuts because it looked just like it."
Displaying the sole of his shoe, he continues: "My cat threw up and I must have stepped in it, and that's what I ate. I ate cat vomit right here on television. It's disgusting."
Professional to the end, the meteorologist concludes by telling viewers he isn't going to do the weather. "I'm going to throw up," he explains.
With apologies to Mr. Haney, we'd like to leave you with something a wise man once told us, namely: "Baaaaaa!"
Now what's for dessert?

DETROIT - According to federal documents obtained by the Local 4 Defenders, a homicide investigator with the Detroit Police Department was the target of death threats involving anthrax, bombs and a hit man.
The threats came from a man named Shawn McIntosh, who was under investigation by the homicide unit.
Here are some excerpts from the threats McIntosh mailed to the investigator:
"Inside an envelope it's going to be a letter and a powder substance, that powder substance is anthrax."
"Inside a tool box it's going to be two homemade pipe bombs and those two homemade pipe bombs are going to blow you into a thousands pieces I promise you."
"I hired somebody to kill you … if them two pipe bombs don't kill you, you are going to get shot in the head, mark my words the job is going to get done."
Federal agents compared the handwriting of the letters sent to the homicide officer with other letters written by McIntosh and got a match.
McIntosh is pleading guilty to the mail threats, adding another five years of prison time to his previous criminal troubles.
He's been convicted of fleeing police, carjacking, weapons charges, robbery and assault.

Israeli-born saxophonist Gilad Atzmon is celebrating his 50th birthday this year and his 20th year in Britain, with a tour of music from his band's most recent album, Songs From The Metropolis.
Individual pieces conjur up individual cities: Paris is deeply romantic and moves from delicate retro-clarinet to impassioned soprano saxophone via accordion, while Tel Aviv moves at a swift pace and into a very dark mood. Among the other metropoli, Atzmon identifies Buenos Aires with pathos, Vienna with charm and sweetness, and plays Manhattan "in loving memory of America".
Frank Harrison is on piano and other keyboards, Yaron Stavi on double bass and original Orient House drummer Asaf Sirkis is back in for Eddie Hick on drums. Altogether they make a wonderfully adept and adaptable group.
Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble are at The Arena, Wolverhampton, at 8pm, and tickets are £12 on the door.

FRANCE: Australia have beaten Wales 25-3 in the Women's Rugby World Cup.
The brutal encounter saw the Wallaroos take back-to-back wins and maintain their clean sheet defensively, with no tries scored against them in two games.
The real test comes on Sunday (4.45am AEST) when they tackle Women's Six Nations Champions, France.
The fast Wallaroos' attack was countered with solid defence but it wasn't enough to keep them Australians at bay.
Sharni Williams and Tricia Brown scored tries as Australia went to the break 17-0 up, before Brown crossed the line for a second time.
Wales replied through a solitary Robyn Wilkins penalty.
Australian coach Paul Verrell was pleased with the result but says they have much more to show in attack.
"We did really well defensively throughout that match," he said.
"Wales were really aggressive at the breakdown and we had to work hard to maintain our possession.
"I was impressed with our backs creating attacking opportunities, however, I feel that we are yet to reach our full attacking potential in this World Cup - which is an exciting prospect."
In what was often a fierce contest, Wales was unable to match Australia's intensity at the breakdown, which led to some frustrations for the Welsh defenders.
The emphatic win dashed Wales' chance of a semi-final spot, while Australia will next face a group decider against France.
Wales wind up their campaign against South Africa next Saturday.
In the other big game, Ireland upset four-time defending champions New Zealand, beating them 17-14.
It was only the second defeat in World Cup history for the 'Black Ferns'.

Understanding Property TaxesIntroduction:
The assessment process is the basis for generating property tax revenues that pay for schools, roads, fire protection, police protection, recreational facilities, and other local services.County Appraiser:
The County Appraiser is responsible for discovering, listing, and valuing all property within Phillips County and must follow state laws when meeting these responsibilities. Each year the Appraiser must review recent real estate sales and consider local economic conditions in order to maintain the most current value of the property in the county. The Appraiser's goal is equalization of property values. This causes the taxes that pay for many community services to be distributed fairly and equitably between property owners.The Taxpayer:
As a property owner and taxpayer, you have specific rights and responsibilities in the assessment process. You have the right to examine the Appraiser's property records and verify that the property you own is listed and described correctly on the tax records. If you disagree with your property value, you may file an appeal with the County Appraiser. You have the responsibility to provide accurate information to the Appraiser about property you own and to attend and participate in budget hearings held by school, county, cities, and special districts which levy taxes on your property.Exemptions:
Some organizations' and individuals' properties are exempt from property taxes, such as churches, farmers' grain storage, and some taxing entities. The Application for Tax Exemption is available here or from the Appraiser's office.
Property Tax Calculation
Your property taxes are determined by multiplying the actual value times the assessment rate times the mill levy. The assessment rate on residential properties is 11.5%. The assessment rate for commercial and industrial purpose in 25%. The assessment rate is fixed by law and is the same statewide.Sample Calculation:
Let's assume the market value of your home has been determined to be $60,000, and the statewide residential assessment rate is 11.5%. This would mean that the assessed value of your home would be $6,900 ($60,00 times .115 = $6,900).
Let's also assume that the total mill levy is determined by the local taxing authorities of your particular taxing district. Multiply the assessed value of your property ($6,900) by the mill levy (125 mills or .125). The amount is $862.50, which is your share of the total responsibility to support the programs for which taxes are budgeted.
Assessment Ratios:
|Property Type
|Assessment Rate
|Approach to Value
|Residential - Includes homes, apartments, and condominiums
|Market Value / Cost/ Income
|Commercial - real property used for commercial or industrial purposes
|Market Value / Income
|Ag Land - land used to develop agricultural use
|Use Value / Income
|Ag Imprv - improvements on land devoted to agricultural use
|Market Value
|Vacant Lots - vacant land with no improvements
|Market Value
|Non-Profit - real property owned and operated by not-for-profit organizations
|Market Value
|All others - all other real property not elsewhere classified

In the end of November and the beginning of December, IGN had held their IPL 5. Now not knowing what this was, I was intrigued. All I knew that it was a bunch of pro-gamers got together and played for some money. Then IGN put up a sort-of "wagering" system on their homepage. All you would do is pick the winner of the match. Then you on the top of the leaderboard you could win some stuff. I had my Twitch TV app on phone, so I could watch the matches that I had "wagers" on. There were three different games I could watch: League of Legends(LoL), Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty(SCII), and Shootmania. As a person who has not played any of these games, I had no idea what was going on. All I could tell if one team was winning and sometimes not even that. I decided I had to pick one of these to follow. I could not for the life of me figure out what was going on in League of Legends. Shootmania was too fast and simplistic but fun. That leaves Starcraft II.
For those who do not know what Starcraft II it is the sequel to Starcraft. I never knew what Starcraft was or has even seen it. It is basically three warring factions, whereas you command one of them and try to defeat the other. As I was watching this the first thing I had learned there are three races you could play: Terrans, Protoss, and the Zerg(I seriously thought he was from Toy Story). I then started seeing tactics that each of the teams were using. One of the great tactics I had seen in IPL5 was a Protoss match, where the Protoss threw down a few force field on some ramps so that the opposition could not come up the ramp and there for having a shot to destroy them. One of the tactics that I kept hearing was the "concave over convex". This when one of the armies curves around the other army. All the matches I had seen the concave had won. This is because the bigger arc allows more units to shoot, taking better advantage of their range.
After watching all these matches I wanted to play this game. Some of the games I seen you could see actual military tactics! How cool is that. There were some Roman tactic of the "Orb", where the force is drawn up with a center, two wings and backup in the rear. The wings and backup must be strong enough to prevent any outflanking. Another tactic I had seen is where the Protoss could use a feature of teleport! You could see I like the Protoss. I will be watching in March for IPL6! I really want to play the game as soon as I get a copy of it. If you had seen a military tactic in Starcraft II used or if you disagree in my chose of team of which has better tactics, just comment at the bottom of the page. This is your friendly neighborhood MXAGhost writer... Signing off for now.

The FAA awarded five contracts worth a total of $125 million over five years to engine manufacturers and Boeing to "develop and demonstrate technologies that will reduce commercial jet fuel consumption, emissions and noise." The research is intended to accelerate introduction of green technology in the FAA's Next Generation air traffic modernization program as part of the agency's continuous lower energy, emissions and noise (Cleen) program. Participants include Boeing, General Electric, Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce North America, all of which will match the FAA's investment in the cost-sharing program. The companies will study alternative fuels, lighter turbine engine components, noise-reducing engine nozzles, wing trailing edge technology, optimized flight trajectories and open-rotor and geared turbofans.
Goals of the Cleen program include:
• Fuel burn reduction by 33 percent relative to current subsonic aircraft technology.
• Engine technology that reduces landing and takeoff cycle nitrogen oxide emissions by 60 percent, without increasing other gaseous or particle emissions, over the 2004 International Civil Aviation Organization standard.
• Certifiable aircraft technology that reduces noise levels by 32 dB cumulative, relative to the current Stage 4 noise standard.
• Sustainable alternative aviation jet fuels and safety and transition strategies that enable "drop in" replacement for petroleum-derived aviation fuels with no significant modifications to aircraft and engines required and that perform more efficiently and cleaner than fossil-based fuels.
Cleen technology might be implemented as early as 2015, according to FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. "Cleen is poised to get advances into service as quickly as possible," he said. Cleen participants will meet semi-annually and a modeling tool developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology will be used to assess Cleen progress.
Flight tests of adaptive wing trailing edges and ceramic matrix composite acoustic engine nozzles will be flight tested on a Boeing 737 NG in 2012 and a twin-aisle airplane in 2013. Adaptive trailing edges are controllable devices on the aft portion of the wing, according to Boeing, which "can help tailor the wing configuration to reduce fuel burn at takeoff, climb and cruise, and to reduce community noise at takeoff and landing." Ceramic matrix composites can withstand hotter-running engines and thus "offer the potential of better thermal and structural performance, while helping to reduce weight and acoustic footprint."
The Taps II combustor in General Electric's new new eCore engine core will deliver up to 16 percent better fuel efficiency, according to GE, and eCore will be used in CFM International's new Leap-X engine and for new GE regional and business jet engines. GE will also conduct technology demonstrations of FMS trajectory algorithms to improve fuel, emissions and noise performance and develop capability for an FMS to share information with the FAA's en route modernization system "to enable the four-dimensional trajectory-based FMS to fly more optimum trajectories." Cleen funds will help pay for research into blade aero-acoustic and pitch change mechanism research on GE's open rotor (unducted fan) engine. The design reduces fuel consumption by 26 percent and addresses noise challenges, according to GE, which conducted wind tunnel testing last year on counter-rotating fan systems. The Leap-X engine is a candidate for open rotor technology.
Honeywell is working with Gulfstream Aerospace and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on further development of its UOP green jet fuel, using the Honeywell Tech7000 engine technology demonstrator. Honeywell UOP's jet fuel can be made from sources such as algae and camelina (flax), and the fuel meets current specifications while significantly lowering emissions, according to Honeywell.
Pratt & Whitney is continuing development of advanced technologies for its PurePower geared turbofan engine family. By 2020, the company expects to achieve fuel burn savings of 25 to 35 percent. Compared to current engines, the PurePower family offers a 50-percent reduction in noise, according to Pratt & Whitney.

CLIMBING the great inflatable obstacle course and sipping Stockbridge ale, families from a village near Winchester celebrated their first ever festival.
Raising money for the local cricket club, The Crawley Crows, residents pulled out all the stops for the village's food, drink and music festival Crawleyfest which has been four months in the making.
Families from across the county gathered in the village centre – with as many as 250 queuing an hour early – to get their hands on local food and drink produce as well as arts and crafts from the many stall holders.
There was a dance competition, an afternoon of story-telling, a village tug-o-war and a gladiator jousting arena. Headlining was local band LOIC who performed in front of the hundreds of people sipping ales from Flack Manor and Alfred's Brewery.
The event was organised by local residents Joy and Andrew Baker, Jess and Tim Anderson and Tom Willsher.
Mrs Baker said: "We've had live music this afternoon and lots of stalls selling cupcakes, jewellery and ice cream and children's crafts and lots of local ales from Winchester, Romsey and other areas.
"This is our very, very first year and we sold out a month ago. It's a really great family atmosphere and it's so much more than a standard village fete. We wanted to bring entertainment and great food and drink to the surrounding villages.
"Though we don't have a target in mind, we're hoping to make a profit and make a sufficient fund to support the youth team and the facilities at the club."

- Check out StatSheet.com's letter grades for Cornell's individual players from last night's game.
- Big Apple Buckets discusses a terrible Wednesday night in the Ivy League and writes:
The sky is not falling, the Ivy League isn't terrible and the league champion isn't heading to Dayton. Yes, going 1-3 on a night with the lone win being at home over Binghamton isn't exactly special, but the league should be just fine in the long run.The fact is that Cornell, Columbia and Princeton were all playing games that were essentially toss-ups tonight. Big Red fans might not want to admit it, but SBU with it's stifling defense is actually a better team than Cornell right now. I don't think they'd make any argument after the Seawolves came to Ithaca and dominated in a 23-point victory.The 76-53 romp was keyed by the play of freshman Jameel Warney, who had 19 points and 11 boards. He's proving to be a dynamic player that can change games. Once again though it was SBU's defense that got the job done, allowing 53 points on 63 possessions. It's just really hard to score on Stony Brook. All of that is why Pomeroy had Stony Brook as a slight favorite (52%) coming into the game, even on the road...
- Black Heart Gold Pants writes, "WISCONSIN (4-2). Wisconsin has feasted on cupcakes (Cornell and Presbyterian) but got rolled when they played Florida and Creighton."
- A Cornell Daily Sun columnist writes, "When the basketball team is playing, Bartels should be packed."
- The Pittsburgh Post Tribune writes, "Nolan Cressler, a true freshman on the Cornell University men's basketball team, got his second career start against Longwood on Saturday at the Las Vegas Invitational, and he helped the Big Red to an 84-78 victory. He scored 12 points and added four rebounds and three assists. Cressler was 2 of 4 from 3-point range and was 2 of 2 from the free-throw line. Cornell went 2-2 at the Las Vegas Invite, as the Big Red also beat Presbyterian College and suffered losses to both Wisconsin (73-40) and Arizona State (64-53). Through seven games, Cornell went 3-4, and Cressler was second on the team in scoring at 9.9 points per game. He came off the bench in his first collegiate game and scored 20 points to lead the Big Red to a season-opening victory over Western Michigan. Cornell has several big games coming up, including a game at Vanderbilt on Dec. 17 and one against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Dec. 19. The games against the Commodores and Blue Devils are slated to air live on ESPN U."
- The Tennessean writes, "Suspended Vanderbilt shooting guard Dai-Jon Parker is expected to be eligible for his first action of the men's basketball season on Dec. 17 when Cornell visits Memorial Gym."
- Duke Athletics is planning two special auctions for the game against Cornell. Duke is also holding a holiday toy drive for the Cornell game.

- Cornell RPI Watch: The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's RPI rank as of November 29 is No. 229 out of 344 total Division I teams. While neither the Ken Pomeroy or the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 236 in the nation, while the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) have Cornell at No. 251. Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.

Phoenix - PetSmart Inc. had a better fiscal year than fourth quarter 2013, with net income and sales rising during the year but falling during the quarter, compared to the same periods a year earlier. During the fiscal year, net income rose 8% to $419.5 million from $389.5 million, while net sales grew 3% to $6.91 billion from $6.71 billion and same-store sales increased 2.7%.
However, during the fourth quarter net income decreased 2% to $131.5 million from $134 million, and net sales dropped 4% to $1.8 billion from $1.88 billion, although same-store sales grew 1.2%.

Verlander's fundraiser "Wins For Warriors" is giving back to veterans and their families.

LONDON (Jul. 10)
The Palestine Potash Company will be permitted to raise up to 1,000,000 pounds ($2,800,000) in additional capital to finance its operations in Israel, it was learned here today.
Permission to sell securities for this purpose was received after lengthy discussions between British Treasury officials and officers of the company. It is expected that with the raising of new capital, including a substantial amount from the Israel Government which will become a partner in the monopoly enterprise, the company will be able to resume its operations on the Dead Sea before the end of this year.

Simple Tip: Use Two Cookie Sheets
How many baking sheets/cookie pans do you have? If you answered one, then you may want to make your life easier by investing in a second one. When making cookies, a quick time-saving tip is to use two pans. While the first pan is in the oven, you can place the dough on the second pan. When the first pan comes out of the oven, pop the second pan in! While the second pan is baking, allow the first pan to cool — run it under cold water if necessary — and then portion out the cookies. Keep this up until you're finished! This way there's always something in the oven and your total baking time decreases!

(written from a Production point of view)
Heel Verlag GmbH is a German publisher of non-fiction books, currently operating from Königswinter.
Founded in 1980 in Bonn-Oberkassel, the publisher specializes in the publications of reference works in the areas of technical subjects, the animal kingdom, hobbies, food, movies, and the like. While they do not publish novels, they are flirting with the realm of fiction as they also publish reference works related to franchises like Star Wars , The Lord of the Ring and Star Trek, not all of them necessarily from a real world perspective.
The Star Trek licenseEdit
In the mid-1990s, as hitherto regular publisher for in German translated Star Trek publications, Heyne Verlag, started to show declining interest to publish Star Trek reference works, Heel stepped in and has since then provided the German language market with translated editions, succeeding VGS Verlag who had started to do so due to a short-lived joint venture with Heyne. Though the majority of these were original Pocket Books publications, Heel has also translated unlicensed works, published by author Mark A. Altman.

We brought online a raft of changes to menu management yesterday, and the biggest change means you now have the ability to configure different menus for different zones of your website. You can have a different menu for your homepage, your general pages, blog, add-ons and your e-store (available from tomorrow) if you want to – each one of these different zones with its own personalized menu. In order to differentiate menus by zone, just activate the advanced menu management feature from your member zone (in Settings > Side menus, just in case you were wondering ...).
What's the point, I hear you ask (as, yes, I have inherited my mother's pre-emptive super-hearing). Well, the idea is to adapt your menus to your page content. So while you might want to have a tag cloud in your blog menu, you may prefer to replace that with a map or contact link for your general page menu. Personalize your pages – including their menus – to better adapt their content to what your visitors are looking for at a given moment. It makes your site that much easier to navigate, and increases the likelihood of repeat visits (and that's a good thing for any website).
There's a whole bunch of other improvements that we've made to menu management (including the personalization of the contact module and – my personal favorite - adding icons to menu elements). Check them all out to see what works best with your site design ... and just for the fun of it (after all, having fun with web design is what drives us here at doomby!).
And while you're at it, let us know what you like best about the changes (or what else you'd like to see added to menu management).

I figured heading into the weekend would be a good time to get the ball rolling.
Heading into this, our goal is going to be first and foremost to have fun with this venture. I want this team to be as good as they can be, no more, no less, but not at the expense of making others feel alienated.
That said, a few ground rules for those of you who want to be a part of this:
-We will play defense. It isn't easy, but this won't be an NBA Jam team that just tries to out-dunk the other. I have an idea what type of defense I'd like us to run, but that will all depend on what we're capable of.
-There will be a team concept. We play as a team, and we win as a team. One of the ultimate downfalls of our past incarnation was that we let some people play who demanded "their" spotlight. I just want to be a part of a winning team, and I would appreciate players who share that belief. There will be a zero tolerance policy on selfishness. Become a cancer and we will remove you.
-We'll decide what style to run and what team to used based on the makeup of the roster and everyone's comfort level. We'll try our hardest to make sure everyone is put in the best possible position to contribute and have fun. Regardless of your skill level, you'll have a spot on this team as long as you're willing to work with us.
-Availability on the weekends is preferable, but it's not as if the world is going to end otherwise. If you're only available one day a week, so be it. The more the merrier. Just try to be active at least once a week.
-No cheesing. By "cheesing," I mean exploiting things that take place outside the realm of realistic basketball. I'm not sure what if any exploits exist in 2K11, but we're not going to be "that" team. Also, no user-created myplayers.
-Our team name last time was "No I in team," but I'm going to put it to a group vote this time. In fact, I'm not even going to sign us up at gamebattles for quite a while, because I want time for everyone to get used to playing together in games that don't matter.
Anyway, if you read through all that and feel like being part of this, I'm not turning anyone away. We won last time, and we'll win this year too. I've come to realize that talent in this mode can easily be countered with good teamwork.
The roster so far:

Obama Lying About Benghazi
Sworn testimony before Congress, along with a previously unreleased video tape recovered from the US consulate in Benghazi provide overwhelming evidence that Barack Obama is lying about Benghazi. The cover up engineered by Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that began the night four Americans were murdered while serving their country is an embarrassment to the country and should be a crime.
Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in a terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Now, newly available evidence absolutely contradicts the lies Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice, and their spokespeople have been feeding to the American people. For several weeks after the attack, a ridiculous and dishonest story about a YouTube video had Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama lying about Benghazi. Obama and Clinton are still lying about Benghazi.
There is a new security camera that apparently survived the attack outside the consulate in Benghazi that provides about 50 minutes of security camera video that survived from the consulate. The most important element of the video is that it does show some of these Islamic jihadists flooding into the compound, and you can see them in profile and this data point shows that its terrorism and that these faces are being matched to known jihadists.
The bottom line is that once again this video shows that there was no demonstration outside the consulate when the attack happened as we were told by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Therefore, this idea that it was a demonstration that was hijacked by terrorists that spun out of control.
Both the White House and the State Department saw this video surveillance. In fact, Obama is lying about Benghazi because he saw the attack in real time. Instead of acting to save the Americans who came under attack, Clinton and Obama did not act, choosing to keep military rapid deployment security forces from going to their rescue. The inaction by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is despicable, and should be a crime.
Now there's surveillance video from the compound which shows an American drone watching the attack as it happened. Clinton and Obama knew it was a terrorist attack and Obama is lying about Benghazi because of the impact it would have had on the election. His re-election was far more important to Obama than were the lives of Americans who were serving their country.

Turn in unused, unwanted prescription drugs at UT Health Northeast on Saturday, Oct. 26
October 23, 2013
As part of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, the UT Health Northeast Police Department will be accepting unused and unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013, in the main lobby of UT Health Northeast, at the corner of U.S. 271 and Texas 155.
The national event is a way for people to dispose of unused prescription drugs. People drop their medications off, no questions asked, at designated collection points staffed by law enforcement officers.
"This is a great opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinet and safely get rid of any unused and unwanted prescription drugs. And it keeps drugs out of the natural environment, where they can affect wildlife," said Vince Alibrando, retail pharmacy supervisor at UT Health Northeast.
The purpose of the event is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the public about the potential for abuse of these drugs.
Almost 3 million pounds of prescription medications were collected during six previous take-back days, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, which sponsors the event. This is the seventh take-back day organized by the DEA since 2011.
For 65 years, UT Health Northeast has provided excellent patient care and cutting-edge treatment, specializing in pulmonary disease, cancer, heart disease, and primary care. Its annual budget of $150 million represents a major economic impact of over $350 million for Northeast Texas. Since 2004, scientists in the Biomedical Research Center have been awarded more than $122 million research dollars. As the university medical center for Northeast Texas, its graduate medical education programs – with residencies in family medicine and occupational medicine – provide doctors for many communities across the state and beyond. It also sponsors the residency program in internal medicine at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. For more information, visit www.uthealth.org.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Michelle Obama
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Michelle Obama
Wurstnachtmare 19:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
|This article is under review by
Gerry Cheevers.
Sayeth Gerry: shotgun!!
|average of humor scores
well, you've got some random stuff here, but you've got a bit of good content, too. you kind of establish a direction you're going, with a fairly encyclopedic tone, so i expect a sort of normal biography article as far as type of article. i find myself confused by the rapid-fire stuff going on in the intro: first she's at a law firm, then she's kidnapped, then she's getting money from crime bosses...it didn't give me time to think. i recommend you stay a little closer to the truth than things like claiming she was assembled from sugar and barack delivering an address to the black panthers. the baking cookies line, however, was gold.
this is again a stretch. i feel that information is being rapidly fired at me, yet little of it seems to connect together in a coherent way. she's visiting different places, smacking jesse jackson, burying feces, but the reader doesn't know why. try to slow down, pace yourself, and explain the reasoning behind her actions since her husband assumed office. that way, the reader doesn't feel so confused, and you can see which ideas can be trimmed.
i liked the fox news praise and the palace denial, but this section seems to have the same problems as the other sections, although to a slightly lesser degree. for example, you suddenly mention that she is a jew. i think this section ahs the most promise out of those so far, because you can focus one narrow thing: how michelle appears in the press. try to elaborate on how she's been received by other media outlets the way you did with fox news, and this section will come along nicely.
ummm, this section seems tacked on, and i can't figure out what it's about. she's just being the first woman now, doing something with sexual positions, and threatening a cleaning staff? you need to clarify what you're saying or scrap this section.
|5/5 points for a well-known subject worthy of parody. we should certainly have an article on michelle obama.
1/5 points for execution. you never really seem to get a solid theme going. you're not sticking very close to the truth, but you also don't have an consistent deviations from the truth either. for example, if barack obama is speaking to the black panthers, then he is a black supremacist, and should be cast as such throughout the entire article. i'm not saying that's the way you should portray him, but it's just an example of the way your article should feel connected instead of disjointed facts that really don't have a central theme to them. try to trim some of the random stuff, like her brother being Mr. T.
|Prose and formatting:
|this article is formatted pretty well, although the images are rather big; perhaps they could be shrunk a few pixels (except the first one). no real problems with prose or spelling or grammar. you really don't need that template way at the top, it's just clutter.
|your images are inconsistent. she's oprah, then she's in the white house but it's a cancer ward, then she's someone who i don't know who that is. they don't go along with the article very well, since they are more confusing than anything else. if you're going to do the article 'michelle obama is really oprah', then use the oprah image, otherwise get a real image of her.
|averaged via magic
|Final Score:
|my preview button tells me that your score is 27.9, rendering this a tad short of being an adequate uncyclopedia article. you have very high prose and formatting scores, so what you should focus on is the content. try to get a central theme going, and if that theme is straight encyclopedic parody, then stick a little closer to the truth. i recommend checking out UN:BEST, which is where our most awesome articles go, and picking out a few articles on people, and then reading them to see some good biography articles. you should check out HTBFANJS, and if you have already, check it out again. i personally read it once a week. good luck improving this article, and please bring any questions to my talk page.

text: Paint thinner poisoning occurs when a toxic substance known as a hydrocarbon is taken into the body by mouth or by breathing. Found in such everyday products as gasoline, paint thinner, and cleaning sprays, hydrocarbons inside the body can pose a risk of great harm. Someone with severe paint thinner poisoning needs emergency hospital care, but if the hydrocarbon is determined to be nontoxic, the victim may need simply to be watched closely at home. Children and adolescents are most commonly affected.

I really have no idea what I'm looking for. Hopefully, I'll figure that out sooner rather than later.
Also, I own an ULTRA-masculine Yorkshire Terrier, his name is Tank.
I'll watch any comedy and just like books, I'll watch anything, even "chick flicks".
Youtube: Yogscast, H3H3 productions, HatFilms, Facts, BlameSociety, GMM, Buzzfeed, Numberphile, etc.
Musically, I prefer Oldies. The Beatles, Beach Boys, BeeGees, Doors, Turtles, Animals, you can't go wrong. I also enjoy Broadway musicals too. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate newer music though! I've always liked the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and while he's definitely an older-style singer, I also like Michael Bublé. When I work out, dubstep is my go to muse.
Food-wise, I'll pretty much try anything. As long as it's not too spicy or too bizarre, I'll probably enjoy it. It's easier to list what I don't like: Raw Onions, Mushrooms, Cannoli. Also, I have random allergies to melons, green beans and some raw tree fruit/nuts, though not bad enough to stop me from eating them from time to time.
My Car - I love just driving around randomly, getting lost and trying to figure out a way home. It's not as easy down here in Cincinnati because the roads here are so random!
My Data Plan - If you ever want to drive me nuts, take me somewhere without data coverage and start asking questions you can't remember/pretend you can't remember the answers to.
Sports - Buckeyes, Reds and Bengals
Amazon Prime - I have gotten spoiled and now expect everything to be delivered in 2 days or less.
British Television - Most recently I've gotten in to Doctor Who, which was a mistake, because there is SO MUCH Doctor Who.
Also, I'm an INTP, though that I/E split is nearly 50/50

There are several distinctive bridges that were built in the Westmoor Technology Center, located north of 108th Avenue and east of Simms Street, as a part of a joint project between the developer of the business park and the City of Westminster to build the Heritage Golf Course within the project. Each of the bridges incorporates faux tan-colored stone. The most impressive bridge allows for Westmoor Drive to cross Walnut Creek, just north of 108th Avenue. The Walnut Creek Trail passes under the bridge.
Another notable bridge is near the golf course clubhouse and allows golfers to pass under Westmoor Drive. Another bridge carries Westmoor Circle over North Walnut Creek and includes a trail underpass. A quaint bridge just west of Westmoor Drive allows golfers to cross Walnut Creek on the 7th Hole. Other bridges allow for the golf cart path to cross over the Walnut Creek Trail.
These bridges were designed by Nolte and Associates and constructed in 1998.
