In one of the region's costliest property foreclosures, Lansbrook Village, a 774-unit condominium complex in East Lake, was repossessed by its lender Wednesday for failing to pay $75 million in debts.
Chalk it up as another victim of the condo conversion craze that swept the Tampa Bay area five years ago.
Lured by stories of easy profits made with easy-money loans, developers frantically converted more than 25,000 Tampa Bay area apartments into condos between 2001 and 2006. The conversions consumed about a fifth of the apartment stock in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
But for lenders such as Corus Bank of Chicago, the lender left in the lurch at Lansbrook Village, many Florida deals turned out to be built on unfulfilled hype.
During the housing boom, Corus poured more than a $1 billion in loans into Florida for condo projects. Its record of success in the Tampa Bay area has been mixed at best.
Across the bay in Tampa, the Chicago bank also lent $84 million to Novare-Intown to build the Element, a 400-unit downtown condo tower. Sales there collapsed along with the housing market, and developers decided to lease units pending a real estate recovery.
It was clear by early 2006 that the conversion mania was misplaced. In the Tampa Bay area alone, more than 10,000 apartment-to-condo conversions sat empty. Of the units that sold, most buyers were investors.
"Investors dominated that market. In many projects, investors were 75 to 80 percent of buyers," said Tampa Bay area housing consultant Marvin Rose. ''There would be a project in Temple Terrace and you'd have 100 buyers from Hialeah."
In the case of Lansbrook, in an unincorporated area of northeast Pinellas County, Corus lent developer Vista Realty Partners $112 million in 2006.
The Atlanta developer's acquisition of the former apartment complex was ill timed. The conversion boom was largely over before renovations were complete. Developers sold about 260 units for between $100,000 and $250,000 before the housing market shriveled in 2007 and 2008. Vista decided to rent out units it couldn't sell.
"Now you've got a fractured community, one part rented, one part owned," said Jeff Rogo of the Bay Area Apartment Association. "For those that bought, that's clearly not what they thought they were buying into."
The bank took back the common areas of the condo property, including its three swimming pools, as well as the hundreds of unsold apartments. The foreclosure has nothing to do with the Lansbrook Golf Club or the single-family neighborhood of the same name.
Not that bank ownership could cripple property values much more than the bum market already has. Lansbrook Village units that sold initially for $150,000 generally fetch far below $100,000 these days.
Steven Cobb is one of the buyers that scooped up a foreclosure deal. Cobb said he bought the condo "dirt cheap": $63,000 for a unit that once sold for $167,000.
Because he owns the condo, Cobb isn't sweating the ownership change. Common areas could be a different story. "As far as landscaping is concerned, that could be a problem," he said.

Contained Places
Culpeper County is a county located in the central region of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 46,689. Its county seat and only incorporated community is Culpeper.
Home to many of Virginia's antebellum plantation homes and thousands of acres of farmland, the rolling hills of the Piedmont region and the westernmost flats of the Northern Neck collide in rural Culpeper County.
Culpeper County is included in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area.
At the time of European encounter, the inhabitants of the area that became Culpeper County were a Siouan-speaking sub-group of the Manahoac tribe called the Tegninateo. Culpeper County was established in 1749 from Orange County. The county is named for Thomas Culpeper. During the Civil War the Battle of Cedar Mountain took place on August 9, 1862 and the Battle of Brandy Station on June 9, 1863, in Culpeper County.
In May 1749, the first Culpeper Court convened in the home of Robert Coleman, not far from where the Town of Culpeper is now located. In July 1749, 17-year-old George Washington was commissioned as the first County surveyor. One of his first duties was to lay out the County's courthouse complex, which included the courthouse, jail, stocks, gallows and accessory buildings. By 1752 the complex stood at what is now the northeast corner of Davis and Main Streets. The courthouse village was named the Town of Fairfax after Thomas, Sixth Baron Fairfax.
During the Virginia convention held in May 1775, the colony was divided into sixteen districts. Each district had instructions to raise a battalion of men "to march at a minute's notice." Culpeper, Orange and Fauquier, forming one district, raised 350 men in "Clayton's old field" on the Catalpa estate, who came to be called the Culpeper Minute Men. The Minute Men, marching under their flag depicting a rattlesnake and inscribed with the words "Liberty or Death" and "Don't Tread on Me", took part in the Battle of Great Bridge, the first Revolutionary battle on Virginia soil. The Culpeper Minute Men reorganized in 1860 in response to the impending Civil War and became part of 13th Infantry's Company B. The Culpeper Minutemen were again organized for World War I, and joined the 116th Infantry.
Culpeper County is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are quickly accessed beginning with Old Rag Mountain and the Skyline Drive just up Route 522.
Culpeper County is home to Commonwealth Park, site for many world-class equestrian events. It was here that actor Christopher Reeve suffered his accident during a competition.
Culpeper is home to famous battlefield at Brandy Station and the boyhood home to Civil War General A. P. Hill.
The town of Culpeper was rated #10 by Norman Crampton, author of "The 100 Best Small Towns in America," in February, 1993.
Culpeper was the last County in Virginia to integrate schools.

That's awesome, Stephanie!
Now here is my latest math problem that I need help with (kidding, truly): I'm going to make a raised bed garden with 8x8x16" cinder blocks, 2 blocks high, staggered/interlocking, and I don't want to have to cut them. I want it to be about 3' x 8'. How many blocks do I need and what size can I make?? Actually, I think I might have figured it out. We'll see when I go to put this whole thing together! ;)
jdouglas -- Right out of high school, I was a math major at NCSU. I eventually figured out that, while I enjoyed numbers in high school (thus the major in math), I quickly ran out of numbers in college-level math. After a few years in the work world, I went back to school to get an accounting degree. THAT'S when I started working with numbers! :-)
Stephanie, so glad to find a math geek! I am a math disaster and often need to get help from those more gifted than I when figuring things out! :p
Thanks for the code, Vlynn! Just gave it a thread all its' own. :-)
Thanks, Maalp. :-)
Stephanie - I am impressed. I didn't even think about the geometric print on the dress.
Thanks for the coupons.com info Earlychd99!
Glad your heart is fine, sorry your gallbladder is not.
VLYNN, thanks for the code.
There's a new KFR code out today: HAVEASUNNYSPRING gets you 25 pts
Faye, explain to your youngest that I'm a math geek, so really appreciated both the geometric print *and* the necklace!
coupons.com has new coupons for; Mrs. butterworth's ,Jack's links, hillshire smoked sausage, vinegar
Thanks for the GB info Stephanie! I appreciate your insight. And my youngest daughter thought I was crazy to wear the abacus. I'll show her your comment. lol
Love the abacus necklace, Faye!
BTW, I have some info on the GB issues, and will share those later today. I had surgery 15 yrs ago, in my 40s, after losing 27 lbs. Yep, the age and weight loss are both critical to the story. :-)

With a split regular-season series for just the second time since 2004, the Green Bay Packers (11-5) and Minnesota Vikings (10-6) need a playoff game to decide who really wins the 2012-13 chapter of the 51-year-old rivalry.
The Vikings beat the Packers on Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal as time expired in Week 17, which set up a rematch in the NFC Wild Card at Lambeau Field Saturday. The Packers beat the Vikings in Week 13, 23-14.
Below, we look at the things you could watch during Saturday's NFC Wild Card Round:
Newhouse Repeat?
Despite facing Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen on over 90 percent of the pass-protection snaps, Packers left tackle Marshall Newhouse was not credited for a single sack against the Vikings this season. His ability to protect on an island against Allen is important, mostly because rookie right tackle Don Barclay is likely to need help against both Brian Robison (8.5 sacks) and Everson Griffen (8.0).
If Newhouse is overmatched early and the Packers are forced to provide help to both offensive tackles Saturday, the offense's usage of the four- and five-wide sets will naturally have to decrease. The Packers can't afford a second shaky performance from Newhouse in the postseason.
Containing Peterson? It's an Inside Job
Adrian Peterson's 409 combined yards against the Packers this season make it very unlikely that Green Bay is able to keep the Vikings' MVP candidate from breaking the century mark Saturday. But to stop Peterson from running completely wild again, the Packers have to do a better job of keeping Peterson between the tackles.
According to ESPN Stats and Information, Green Bay allowed Peterson to average a staggering 13.7 yards a carry outside the tackles in two meetings this season. Overall, it's been a problem for the Packers defense all season. Teams are averaging 7.0 yards a carry outside the tackles against Green Bay this season, good for second worst in the NFL. If Peterson is able to break contain and get to the corners again, expect another huge stat line Saturday.
Cold, Hard Truth
Saturday night is going to be cold. You know it. The Packers know it. And the Vikings know it. While most of the attention has been placed on Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder and his inexperience in the cold, the Packers must be wary of another potential impact of the temperature: tackling.
Bringing down Peterson was difficult for Green Bay indoors, as evidenced by the 11 tackles he broke in Week 17. Knock down the temperature 60 degrees, and the Packers certainly have their work cut out for them against the 220-pound Peterson. Can Dom Capers' unit improve dramatically in the tackle department playing in sub-freezing weather against the NFL's leader in yards after contact? They need to.
Winfield's Availability
The Vikings' ability to compete against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers passing game may hinge on how cornerback Antoine Winfield's hand holds up Saturday. In Week 17, Winfield had to leave after just 18 snaps because of pain and swelling in his broken right hand. He's expected to play Saturday with a cast and padding to protect the hand.
His effectiveness with the injury will likely be limited, but consider what Rodgers did after Winfield went out last Sunday: From snap 19 on, Rodgers threw for over 300 of his 345 yards and the Packers scored all 34 of their points. Backup slot cornerback Marcus Sherels allowed over 160 passing yards, including Jordy Nelson's 73-yard catch in the second half. The Vikings need Winfield available for all 60 minutes Saturday, if for no other reason than keeping Sherels off the field.
Ponder in the Big Spots
In the first meeting, the Packers blitzed Ponder on nearly every passing third down and also forced turnovers on two separate occasions when the Vikings were either in or near the red zone. That all changed in Week 17. Capers played more coverage on third downs, and Ponder was near perfect inside the Packers' 20-yard line.
Ponder's decision-making in both spots might be the X-factor Saturday. When the Packers get Minnesota into obvious passing third downs, the defense has to get off the field. Whether Capers uses pressure or not, Minnesota can't extend drives when playing behind the sticks on third down. And just one bad decision from Ponder inside the red zone could be the difference for a Packers defense that allowed 444 yards in the second meeting.
Matchups You Could Watch: Packers RB DuJuan Harris vs. Vikings Front Seven; Packers S Charles Woodson vs. Vikings QB Christian Ponder
While Rodgers threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns in Week 17, don't discount how important the run game remains for the Packers. During an 8-1 stretch before the season finale, Green Bay averaged almost 130 yards on the ground. Harris is expected to get the first crack in the Packers' backfield after rushing for 70 yards on 14 carries in Week 17.
On defense, how Capers will use Woodson in his first game back from a broken collarbone remains a mystery. Casey Hayward (six interceptions) is expected to remain the primary slot corner. However, Woodson picked off Ponder twice in his first NFL start and can be a playmaker at the backend. Ponder and Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave will have to get an early feel for how Capers is utilizing the 36-year-old Woodson.
The Packers losing at home against a Christian Ponder-led Vikings team would be a major black eye on the postseason resumes of both Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. That said, it's very difficult to envision Ponder replicating his Week 17 stat line of 234 yards and three touchdowns on just 28 attempts Saturday. The Vikings likely need something similar from Ponder to win at Lambeau Field, where the Packers have won 20 of their last 22 games overall. Green Bay could run away with it if Ponder isn't perfect again.
Packers 31, Vikings 20 (Season record: 10-6)

Acer's Fermi powered Timeline Ultra M3
Subject: Mobile | April 5, 2012 - 04:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ultrabook, acer, timeline ultra m3, timeline, aspire
Acer's Aspire series has gained an Ultrabook model, the Timeline Ultra M3. Powered by an i5-2467M and bolstered by an NVIDIA GT 640M, this 15.6" 1366 x 768 ultrabook should be able to boot quickly thanks to the hybrid storage system which includes a 20GB mSATA SSD while the 500GB HDD offers storage at a lower price than a purely SSD solution would offer. While it sounds good on paper, by the end of the review Hardware Canucks were very disappointed with its "ghastly trackpad, an unnecessary space consuming optical drive, testicle-searing exterior temperatures, a poor keyboard layout, a low resolution screen ...".
If you think they were overly harsh, Matt was no kinder to it when he reviewed this Ultrabook.
"Acer's new Timeline Ultra M3 blazes a path that no others have been willing to take. By incorporating one of NVIDIA's new GT 640M Kepler-based graphics processors within their design, they have become the first company to include a gaming-grade GPU into an Ultrabook. It sounds great but does this combination actually work out as planned? We find out."

Introduction, The Kepler Scoop, Design, User Interface
Join us today at 12pm EST / 9am CST as PC Perspective hosts a Live Review on the new GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. We will discuss the new GPU technology, important features like GPU Boost, talk about performance compared to AMD's lineup and we will also have NVIDIA's own Tom Petersen on hand to run some demos and answer questions from viewers. You can find it all at http://pcper.com/live!!
The Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 is a unique laptop. It was the first product on the market to contain a GPU based of Nvidia's new Kepler architecture, beating out not only other laptops but also the desktop video cards. It's also a rare 15.6" ultrabook. Though a lot of companies have talked about them, not many have actually offered them.
You might expect, considering this two facts, that the Acer Aspire M3 would be outrageously expensive. But this is Acer we're talking about, and if there's anything the company stands for, it's value. This laptop, should you find it on store shelves (it is a globe product with limited production, and they don't seem to have hit North America quite yet), will retail for around $800. Or so we've been told - given the so far limited supply, we would not be surprised if prices were a bit higher until more units are made available to quell demand.
So, what's inside this ultra-sized ultrabook? Besides the GT 640M, nothing surprising.
Though large enough to accommodate a decent discrete GPU, this laptop still has a low-voltage Core i5 processor. That's going to put some limits on the overall performance of the laptop, but it also should help extend battery life.
This is likely to be the only Kepler based laptop on the market for a month or two. The reason for this is Ivy Bridge - most of the manufacturers are waiting for Intel's processor update before they go to the trouble of designing new products.
Continue reading our review of the new Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 and how discrete GPUs and Ultrabooks can work together!!

I'm really interested in Botox for masseter hypertrophy. As far as I know, I'm a candidate for this procedure (meeting with a doctor will confirm this, obviously). So, in finding a doctor: Is any doctor who can administer Botox for wrinkles capable of injecting it into the masseter? Or should the doctor perform the procedure on a regular basis? How many masseter injections is a good number? Thanks!
How Do I Fins Doctors Best Qualified for Masseter Botox?
Doctor Answers 7
Masseter injections of Botox should be done by an expert
Some ENT doctors deal with this as a forte of theirs since they deal with TMJ (tempora mandibular joint syndrome) and plastic surgeons and dermatologic surgeons may deal with this too. Just having experience injecting Botox for cosmetic reasons does not make one an expert in thinning a wide face by relaxing the chewing muscles. There can be an imbalance if not done properly and this could create muscle issues with the bite. Some have noticed a pseudo fat pad prominence after the chewing muscles have relaxed. Check with your primary care doctor or dentist if they know of a good Botox expert to whom you can be referred.
Botox for masseter hypertrophy
The botox cosmetic website is a good starting point for qualified injectors in your area. From this list call to see who performs the treatment for masseter hypertrophy. Consult with 2 - 3 who perform the treatment to find the one that best meets your needs.

Masseter injections with Botox - Finding a doctor
Botox is a great way to reduce the volume of the masseters and may even reduce strain and tightness that you may feel when you wake up in the morning. I normally start with 25 units on each side and then inform my patient that I may need to titrate increasing amounts to get the desired effect. As with all Botox injections,understanding the anatomy is paramount to having the desired effect. I would consider asking for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist with a lot of Botox experience if they have treated masseters. Good luck

Masseter injection with Botox
If you have masseter hypertrophy and want a narrower look, Botox to the masseter may help. But what I find is that patients tend to be impatient and think that the botox will work right away. It will take a series of treatments spaced every 3-4 months for the muscle to shrink a bit.
Botox can be used for masseter hypertrophy to shape the jawline
Botox injection ot the masseter is a very nice procedure for patients who have muscle enlargement and want to shape their jawline. This is seen often in the Asian population. Not all facial injectors are familiar with the technique of masseter injection, however. Your best bet is to call physician's offices and make sure the physician is the one injecting you. (I am a full beleiver in nurse injectors, but I feel this is an advanced technique and you should see a physician for this.) You will find that after injection, it may tke 4-6 weeks to notice the results. You may also need to return for a boost if you have not had an adequate response. When done correctly, there is little risk to the procedure.

Masseter Botox
Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice. However, masseter muscle Botox injections can be very effective at thinning the lower face in the right candidates. This is particularly popular in the Asian population. During a recent teaching trip to Japan, I found that this was the most popular area for Botox injections for the patients we treated. In teaching this procedure, I am always very careful to point out the specific anatomy and landmarks for accurate injections. You should really make sure that you question your injector about their experience before allowing them to inject you. While Botox is never permanent, if it is not injected properly, you may have side effects that last several weeks to months.
Good Luck.

Botox to the Masseter
While the best answer is to find a doctor that has performed several of these procedures, Botox to the masseter muscle is a relatively uncommon procedure in the US compared to Korea and Asia in general.
Any surgeon who performs a high volume of facial surgery (i.e., someone who specializes in face), will be more than competent to inject your masseter muscles, however, provided he/she has significant experience in Botox treatments in general.

Auburn Softball Preview: No. 22 Tigers Host Fourth-Ranked Tennessee
April 9, 10 * Auburn, Ala. * Jane B. Moore Field
Game Notes
Ranked Clubs Meet For SEC Battle
Twenty-second ranked Auburn heads home to host No. 4 Tennessee for a three-game series Saturday and Sunday at Jane B. Moore Field. The Lady Volunteers, expected to finish in the top two of the SEC East prior to the season, represent the second-highest ranked club the Tigers have faced this season.
Auburn, coming off a series victory over Mississippi State, is 11-11 all-time against the Lady Volunteers, although Tennessee took 2-of-3 from the Tigers last season. The teams are also deadlocked in Auburn, with the Tigers having won four of the last six dating back to the 2001 season.
Tennessee has been dominant in SEC play this season, posting an 11-2 record. The Lady Vols are second in the division to Georgia.
The first 250 fans at Saturday's doubleheader will receive a pack of Auburn trading cards, the third of four sets. Sunday is .50 cent hot dog day.
All three games will air live on the radio. Those in the Auburn area can tune in at WANI-AM (1400). Live stats and a live audio link will also be available on the Internet at www.auburntigers.com.
Things To Note For Auburn Softball
* Auburn has won six of its last seven games after taking 2-of-3 from Mississippi State in Starkville.
* Auburn senior Sara Dean was named the SEC Player of the Week April 4 after going 6-for-14 with two home runs, two triples and five RBI in five games last week. It is the third weekly honor of her career.
* Kristina McCain is on a career-high hit streak after going 7-for-12 against Mississippi State. The sophomore has posted a hit in 26 of her last 29 games and has reached base safely via a hit or walk in all but one game this season.
* Beth DiPietro has yet to lose at Jane B. Moore Field this season. She is 7-0 with a 0.95 ERA in eight appearances at home.
Going 4-1 In Five Games, Taking A Series From Mississippi State Auburn went 4-1 last week against two non-conference opponents and Mississippi State, taking two of three games from the Bulldogs in SEC play.
Sara Dean took SEC Player of the Week honors after going 6-for-14 with five RBI, while Kristina McCain extended her career-high hit streak to 12 games. Beth DiPietro went 3-0 with a save, earning two victories in long relief appearances.
The Tigers defeated Georgia State March 29 at Jane B. Moore Field to start the week, then traveled to Jacksonville, Ala., and won their second game of the week, 7-2, over the Gamecocks. Auburn finished up the week with a series victory over Mississippi State. The Tigers won, 10-2, in the first game of a doubleheader, then, after falling in game two, 4-3, won in comeback fashion in the final contest of the series. Holly Currie's two-out, two-run home run in the seventh inning Sunday clinched the victory and sent the Tigers away from Starkville on a winning note.
Taking The Weekly Honor
Sara Dean was named SEC Player of the Week April 4 after going 6-for-14 with one double, two triples, two home runs, three walks and five RBI in five games. Dean also threw out three of the six runners who attempted a stolen base against her.
It is the third weekly honor of Dean's career. She was also named SEC Player of the Week in 2002 and 2004.
'Wow' Is The Only Way To Describe It
Kristina McCain is on a career-high 12 game hit streak, extending it against Mississippi State with a 7-for-12 effort in three games against the Bulldogs. However, upon further examination, that's not even close to the whole story.
McCain has hit safely in 26 of her last 29 games, also posting two five-game and one four-game hit streaks along the way. The sophomore from Mount Olive, Ala., has reached base in 40 of her 41 games played this year. That includes by hit, walk or hit by pitch. She's gone only eight games this season without a hit, and has filled in the game in seven of those games with a combined seven walks and three hit by pitches.
What A Reliev ... Er
Beth DiPietro went 3-0 with one save in four appearances last week, acting as a reliever in three of those games.
Two of her victories -- against Jacksonville State and Mississippi State -- came in long relief appearances. She worked 6 1/3 innings against the Bulldogs, striking out eight while allowing three hits. She came on in relief of Holly Currie in the first and promptly retired eight of the next 10 batters.
DiPietro has appeared in nine games as a reliever this season, posting a 3-0 record with a 0.34 ERA. She has worked 20 1/3 innings as a reliever, allowing nine hits -- only one of which has been an extra base hit -- as opponents have a .134 batting average. She has struck out 19 batters while walking seven.
McCain, Pt. 2
Entering the week, Kristina McCain has provided the most offense among players at third base this season, batting almost 100 points higher than the next-best batter.
McCain is also high on the SEC offensive leaders list, regardless of position. Her .403 batting average entering the week was eighth-best in the SEC, while her .516 on-base percentage was second. Her 44 runs are second-most in the league, while she has walked a career-high 24 times, which is third.
That's The Best For You
Auburn's 36-10 record through the first 46 games of the season marks the club's-best start to the season, bettering last year's 34-12 record. That club became the second Auburn team to advance to an NCAA Regional.
The team's 10-4 record through SEC play is tied for the best conference start with last season's team, which finished 19-10 in the SEC. The Tigers should have 15 conference games played to this point, but were rained out March 27 against South Carolina at Jane B. Moore Field. It marks the third straight season in which Auburn has had a league game scrapped.
Short, Short And Really Sweet
Auburn mercy-ruled Mississippi State in the first game of the team's three-game series over the weekend. The Tigers have now seen 14 games ended early due to the mercy rule and they are taking advantage of it.
Auburn is 12-2 this season when games are ended before the seventh inning. The team started off by winning its first six shortened games, and has played the last four flawlessly. The Tigers have outscored opponents, 41-7, in their last six shortened games.
Only two clubs -- then-No. 3 Stanford and Iowa -- have been able to enact the mercy rule on Auburn this season.
Welcome To The Coaching Staff
Deese added two new assistants in the offseason, welcoming Jack Byerley and Ashley Moore.
Byerley comes to the Tigers from Francis Marion University in Florence, S.C., where he served as the head coach for two seasons. He amassed a 73-26 record in two seasons at the helm of the program, leading the Patriots to their first ever national ranking in Division II play in 2003. Prior to serving as the head coach at Francis Marion, Byerley spent two seasons as the top assistant at Florida. With the Tigers, he will be responsible for the team's hitters and infielders.
Moore comes to Auburn just two seasons after completing her collegiate eligibility and leaving as one of the most prolific players in team history. In four seasons with the Tigers, Moore broke 15 program records. She became the program's first-ever Second-Team All-American in 2001 after batting .381 with 22 doubles, 11 home runs and 40 runs batted in. She signed a contract with the New England RipTide of the National Pro Fastpitch Softball League in January 2004.
Perfect, Period
Auburn pitcher Holly Currie had an incredible week (Feb. 9 to 13), throwing Auburn's first ever perfect game while setting a Southeastern Conference record with 10 runs batted in.
Currie began her week by going 4-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI against Alabama State. The 10 RBI were just one off tying the NCAA record, last equaled in 2003. The Pisgah, Ala., native hit one home run and one double in the first inning against the Hornets, posting six RBI in the frame. That alone tied the Auburn single-game record, set by Mary Petrie in 1999 against Florida.
Think that was all? Not even close. Currie, two days later, became the first pitcher in the history of Auburn softball, and eighth in the SEC, to throw a perfect game as the Tigers shut out the College of Charleston, 9-0. Currie struck out a then-career-high 13 in the victory, just four off tying Auburn's single-game high, set twice last season by Kristen Keyes. Currie, not surprisingly, was named the Most Valuable Pitcher of the Tiger Invitational after going 2-1 with one save.
* Auburn is 8-1 this season following a loss and has just one losing streak -- a two-gamer to then-No. 9 Alabama.
* Sara Dean has at least one hit in every SEC series this season, totaling five. In the past two seasons combined, she has at hit in every SEC series except one -- LSU last season. That's 14-of-15 series.
* Kristina McCain's 12-game hit streak is the seventh-longest in Auburn history. Ashley Moore, now an assistant with the Tigers, hit in 24 straight in 2001. Sara Dean holds the third-longest streak in Auburn history, posting 15 straight last season.
* Auburn has had 10 hit streaks of 10 or more games in nine years.
* Holly Currie is nine RBI away (she has 50) from tying for 10th in the SEC single-season record book. Currie also needs three doubles (she has 17) from breaking into that category.
* Auburn, as a team, needs four home runs to tie the 2001 output (47) for second-most in a single-season. The Tigers would then need one more to tie 2002 (48) for the most in a season.
* Currie has six performances with 10 strikeouts or more this season.
* The Tigers have allowed an opponent 10 or more hits in a game just once this season -- Iowa had 13 at the Buzz Classic on March 6.

Have Reptile Veterinary Questions? Ask a Reptile Expert.
My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am A Vet tech with spacial interest in Reptiles and reptile rescue.
Can you tell me if you have a white basking light?
What are the temps in the basking area, warm side and cool side? How are they measured?
What strength and brand UVB tube are you planning to get?
Have you tried any other type prey?
What size crickets are you feeding?
Is he passing stool?
Although the basking light claims it is infrared, it does give off a great deal of white light. It came in the starter kit that we bought from Petco.
Even with the heat sources we have, the heat hasn't been getting higher than 102* or so, and seems to stay around 97*-99*. The basking point stays a few degrees higher, but I haven't seen it get over 105*. The cool side has been around 85*. We have two digital thermometers, one on the hot side and one on the cool side, and we also have an infrared thermometer 'gun'.
I have some mealworms on order, and they will be shipped on Saturday (which means they'll show up end of next week, I think) and the crickets started out as pinheads, but are now a bit larger but I've been careful to not give him ones that are bigger than the space between his eyes.
For supplements, I've been dusting the crickets with calcium powder and we have a vitamin powder that I've dusted them with once or twice. Since he hasn't eaten any since the first day, I don't think he's gotten any of this.
He is still passing stool, at least once a day.
The UVB needs to be changed to a reptisun 10.0 florescent tube. It is very important that you use calcium to work with the Reptisun tube to prevent Metabolic Bone Disease and to help with the immune system of your Dragon. http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/reptilesgeneral/a/metabolicbd.htm You need a full spectrum spotlight type basking light to supply the proper lighting for the Dragon. If the lighting is incorrect, the Dragon will become lethargic and not eat. I would not use the red light. I would also remove the UTH since Dragons sense heat from above and do not need a heat rock which is dangerous por a UTH. Do not feed meal worms. They are too high in chitin which is the outer shell and can become impacted. I suspect the problem right now is improper lighting. The Dragon should be eating 80% live prey and 20% Veggies. I suggest silk worms, phoenix worms and dubia roaches for feeders as well as small crickets: http://westcoastroaches.com/ - www.Mulberryfarms.com are two places to order feeders. The information given at pet shops is poor at best because they do not have the Training in the care, only sales. For veggies, I suggest collard greens, mustard greens, escarole, curly endives, butternut squash, and some raspberries for a treat. This is a nutrition list: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutritionframeset.html
I suggest a soak in a 50/50 warm water and plain Pedialyte soak that comes up mid way up theleg for 20 mins to help prevent dehydration. This will help to perk up your Dragon. I would get the lighting changed asap, and I think you will notice a maked improvement. Please let me know if you have further questions. Joan
With raspberries, do we need to worry about the seeds? I read somewhere that even with strawberries, beardies can have trouble digesting the seeds, so I would think that would remain true with raspberries.
I have a reptisun 10.0 tube light showing up on Friday that I will be using right away.
Thanks for the help.
The seeds are not an issue on straberries or raspberries. The Meal worms are more of a concern because of the hard outer shell. I would replace the Basking light asap with a Full spectrum basking spotlight, which will be much more effective. The red bulbs can cause thermal burns. Please do not forget to Rate my service. My goal is to give you Excellent service to help you and your pet. Joan

Iraq war vet was killed by APD while holding gun to his own head
The shooting of an Iraq War veteran during a police standoff would cost the city of Albuquerque nearly $8 million under the terms of a tentative settlement agreement reached Monday.
The payment would end litigation over one of the highest profile police shootings of the last few years – the killing of Kenneth Ellis III in 2010.
A judge already had ruled the shooting unlawful and a jury last year returned a $10.3 million verdict. The city has appealed.
But City Attorney David Tourek said the settlement makes financial sense.
"The amount could have grown exponentially with attorney fees and interest," Tourek said. "This was in the best interest of the taxpayers."
The settlement won't be final unless a judge approves, he said. If approved, it would bring the city's total payout in cases involving allegations of police misconduct to roughly $24 million since the beginning of 2010.
The Journal wasn't immediately able to reach an attorney for the Ellis family.
In March last year, a state District Court jury ruled that the city should pay Ellis' then-7-year-old son $10.3 million in damages for the wrongful death of his father.
Jurors also ruled that Detective Brett Lampiris-Tremba, who shot Ellis, acted "willfully, wantonly or recklessly." Lampiris-Tremba is still employed at the police department.
During the trial, he testified that he shot Ellis because he was afraid for his own and other officers' safety, among other reasons. A grand jury that reviewed the case for potential criminal charges decided that Lampiris-Tremba was justified.
Ellis, 25, was killed in a January 2010 standoff outside a Northeast Heights convenience store. He was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and held a gun to his own head throughout the encounter, which ended when Lampiris-Tremba shot him once in the neck.
Since then, the Ellis family has been a vocal critic of APD.
The shooting was among a string of encounters that contributed to the launch of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into whether APD has a pattern of violating people's civil rights, specifically through the use of force.
Albuquerque police officers have fired at 35 suspects since early 2010, with 22 ending in fatalities. But in one of those cases, the suspect was killed by a State Police officer and, in another, police haven't confirmed whether the suspect died from police fire.
Shortly after the Ellis verdict last year, Tourek said the $10.3 million award was the largest initial "finding of liability" ever against the city, as far as he knew. It wasn't the biggest case overall, if attorney fees and the accrual of interest are factored in. That would be an Uptown zoning case, which ended up at $13.5 million.
Tourek said the city's risk-management fund already had $11 million in reserve for the Ellis case.
The city is, however, looking to bolster the fund further. A recent budget forecast estimated a nearly $2.6 million increase in "risk costs" for the city's self-insurance fund, which handles legal claims.

text: Paula told her during the first audition that she liked her voice. I thought she was just mocking her, because this girl's speaking voice is beyond obnoxious. Her singing voice at this audition was great, but the other one I heard at a later date was awful. Her little girl act is annoying. I have no doubt that Randy's love of her grandma will unfairly influence his voting.

While talking to one of our customers, it became clear that there was no doubt about the possibilities offered to a company by deploying Microsoft Office Communications Server, and configuring its Instant Messaging, Conferencing, and Voice features. He did however wanted to know if there was any way it would be possible to show a kind of warning message when someone would use his/her communicator to start a conversation with on of his/her colleagues. Just to make sure the power of the system wouldn't be abused for non-work related time spendings. And that's one I remembered that during one of the training I delivered on OCS in one of my previous roles, there was a nice registry tweak that enabled just that. Here are the details…
If you want to include a message that is shown every time you start a conversation using Communicator you can, by adding the following value in your registry.
The value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE takes precedence however!
Name: IMWarning
Type: REG_SZ
Data: "Text to show"
This tweak allows you to customize this message for example to display your company chat policy.
You will need to relaunch Communicator to see the result of this setting!
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Client Group Policy
If you don't feel like changing settings in the registry for every single user in your organization…there is a group policy template for you, which includes IMWarning 🙂
February 5th, 2009, Microsoft released for download a new administrative template that contains registry settings for changing the behavior of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Clients, like Communicator, Communicator Attendant, and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat Client.
The download package contains the Communicator.adm file and a spreadsheet that documents the Group Policy settings for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 clients, including Office Communicator 2007, Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Attendant, and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat.

The radome is a unique monument in the world: in 1961, to achieve the first transatlantic route, we choose the common Breton Pleumeur-Bodou to host an exceptional monument: a telecommunications antenna weighing a hundred tons, capable of tracking the satellite relay in permanent rotation around the earth, covered by a huge white dome, inflated like a balloon. With its twin, located in the United States of America (and since destroyed), the radome Pleumeur-Bodou allowed, on the night of July 11, 1962, the first live television transmission between the U.S. and Europe! This feat of engineering and science, which paved the way for the telecommunications era that are now part of everyday life, is mentioned, so exciting and educational at the Cite des Telecoms who visit on a half day.
Today, the stunning white sphere continues to dominate the countryside and the sea, and other federates scientific activities, tourism, leisure and family, which form the radome Park, on the Côte de Granit Rose.

Warden Hall has served as a game warden for more than eight years and is currently stationed in Polk County, one of the busiest recreational boating areas of the state. He patrols Lake Livingston and the Neches and Trinity rivers. To date, Warden Hall has made 65 boating while intoxicated arrests with an almost 100 percent conviction rate. TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith presented the award to Hall at Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting on May 26 in Austin. In his remarks, Smith noted that Hall is heavily utilized by his supervisors to train other wardens, both new and veteran, in BWI enforcement, and that he has been instrumental in working with the District Attorney in his county to implement a zero tolerance for BWI on Lake Livingston." Hall has also developed and hosted Kid Fish events designed to introduce children to fishing and outdoor recreation. A native to the Livingston area, Hall's knowledge of the area gives him a unique advantage in the location and rescue of lost or stranded boaters, usually because he can just call the boaters' cell phones to contact them. As the 2011 TPWD state officer of the year, Hall is now eligible to receive the Southern States Boating Law Administrators Association's Officer of the Year Award. If chosen for the SSBLA award, he would be nominated for the National Association of Boating Law Administrators' Officer of the Year Award, to be presented in September. -30-

Royal prince vs. stammer in masterful 'King's Speech'
If a Who's Who of Splendid British Thespians digging into a juicy true story of Royals in conflict is not your cup of tea, best steer clear of The King's Speech. But if you're looking for a gorgeously mounted entertainment, a compelling history lesson, a wry comedy of manners, or just a jolly game of Name That Actor, prepare to gobble down this tasty and rewarding holiday treat about an accidental monarch thrust into the limelight, struggling to conquer a private affliction that makes his public life a nightmare.
Directed by Tom Hooper (his last film was the excellent soccer drama, The Damned United), from a witty script by David Seidler, The King's Speech concerns the royal English prince soon to be known to the world as George VI (and father of the current Queen Elizabeth). An unexpected heir to the throne, destined to lead his people through the ravages of World War II, all that stood between George and greatness was a crippling stammer that made it virtually impossible for him to speak in public.
Colin Firth queues up for his next Oscar nomination with a formidable performance as king-to-be Albert Frederick Arthur George ("Bertie" to his intimates). Duke of York, grandson of Victoria, son of the current King George V, and second in line after older brother Edward, Bertie is happy to concede the spotlight to more alpha males in the royal clan. Retired from the Navy, he lives quietly with his loyal, loving wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), and their daughters, the little princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
But it's the mid-1920s; the new medium of radio is sweeping the continent, and royals are required to deliver speeches to their people, live and over the air—which stuttering Bertie is physically unable to do. (An opening scene where he struggles to squeeze out words at a public exhibition is torturously intense, for Bertie and his audience.) Quack remedies (smoking, to "relax the larynx;" filling the mouth with marbles) fail to solve the problem, so Elizabeth turns to eccentric elocution therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush).
Australian-born Logue has his own way of doing things. The scene where he and Bertie first size each other up (after Elizabeth has brought her husband there, incognito) sets the tone for both the power struggle and deep friendship to come. Bertie's droll sense of humor (often masked by his inability to voice it) finds a kindred spirit in unorthodox, blithely unpretentious Logue. The therapist wins the royals' trust, agreeing to focus on the "mechanical difficulties" of Bertie's speech, but better progress is made as Bertie begins to reveal his complex emotional relationships to his family, and his royal duties. All of which become even more acute after the death of old George V (a blustery, yet poignant cameo by Michael Gambon), and the abdication of jet-setting Edward (Guy Pearce) to marry his scandalous Mrs. Simpson—placing Bertie on the throne of England.
The film deftly portrays the evolving media of the day; along with newfangled elevators and motorcars, aeroplanes, recording devices, newsreels and "wireless" radio are shrinking the globe, ushering in a new age of communication. George V huffs that monarchs are forced to become "actors … invading people's homes." With the buffer of physical distance between a king and subjects thus bridged, a confident public persona is a crucial part of leadership. With no way out of his job (Elizabeth compares it to "Indentured servitude"), Bertie's ability to govern, as well as the fate of the nation, depend on a cure.
Yet the story's small human details are the most engaging: the robust partnership of Bertie and Elizabeth (and the warmth of their family life); the marvelous aplomb of Logue's wife (Jennifer Ehle) when she discovers Their Majesties in her kitchen for tea. The script percolates with empathy and wit; it may seem like a cheap laugh when Logue induces singing and swearing to loosen the prince's tongue, but Firth and Rush are so masterful at both comedy and subtext, these are virtuoso scenes. And with everyone from Derek Jacobi (as a meddling Archbishop) to Timothy Spall (as a ruminating Winston Churchill) popping up in supporting roles, this is an impressive royal feast of a film.
★★★1/2 (out of four)
With Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter. Written by David Seidler. Directed by Tom Hooper. A Weinstein release. Rated R. 118 minutes.

ProductsMore About Doctor Sleep by Stephen KingOverviewStephen King returns to the character and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. On highways across America, a tribe of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless--mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel, where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant shining power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep." Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to this icon in the King canon.

Iconic horror author King (Joyland) picks up the narrative threads of The Shining many years on. Young psychic Danny Torrance has become a middle-aged alcoholic (he now goes by "Dan"), bearing his powers and his guilt as equal burdens. A lucky break gets him a job in a hospice in a small New England town. Using his abilities to ease the passing of the terminally ill, he remains blissfully unaware of the actions of the True Knot, a caravan of human parasites crisscrossing the map in their RVs as they search for children with "the shining" (psychic abilities of the kind that Dan possesses), upon whom they feed. When a girl named Abra Stone is born with powers that dwarf Dan's, she attracts the attention of the True Knot's leader—the predatory Rose the Hat. Dan is forced to help Abra confront the Knot, and face his own lingering demons. Less terrifying than its famous predecessor, perhaps because of the author's obvious affection for even the most repellant characters, King's latest is still a gripping, taut read that provides a satisfying conclusion to Danny Torrance's story. Agent: Chuck Verrill, Darhansoff & Verrill Literary Agents. (Oct.)BookPage Reviews
Battling more than one kind of demon
In an author's note at the end of Doctor Sleep, Stephen King explains how the idea of writing a sequel to The Shining—his third novel, published in 1977—was planted by a fan at a book signing back in 1998. King mulled it over for more than 10 years before sitting down to figure out how 5-year-old Danny Torrance fared after his narrow escape from the horrifyingly haunted Overlook Hotel.
As one might suspect, Danny didn't fare very well. Aside from psychological scars, he must contend with the occasional unwelcome visit from Overlook "ghosties"—the pungent bathtub lady, Mrs. Massey, for one—in some of the novel's more hair-raising scenes. But he also battles demons inherited from his father: namely, a severe alcohol addiction.
After hitting rock bottom, Dan winds up in Frazier, New Hampshire, and lands a job at The Helen Rivington hospice, where he uses his telepathic "shining" abilities to comfort dying patients, earning him the moniker of Doctor Sleep. He connects with a young girl named Abra, whose ability to shine is off the charts. It's so potent, in fact, that it's attracted the attention of a sinister tribe of drifters called The True Knot.
Members of the Knot do their best to blend in with society as they travel the highways in their RVs. The chill-inducing truth, though, is that they are quasi-immortal paranormals who subsist on the "steam" released when children who shine are tortured. The leader of the Knot is Rosie, a gorgeous seductress, who is rarely without her jaunty top hat—and who always gets what she wants. And she wants Abra.
Needless to say, expectations for a sequel to a beloved book like The Shining are high, and for the most part, Doctor Sleep delivers. Accompanying Dan through the rough years that followed his time at the Overlook—sometimes you wish you could give him a hug, other times, a sense-infusing slap—makes it all the more gratifying to come out the other side with him. Fans will surely forgive a few questionable plot turns and once again marvel at King's seemingly boundless ability to conjure super-creepy, utterly evil villains like the members of The True Knot. Though it's sprinkled with King's tension-relieving, trademark humor throughout, Doctor Sleep still contains plenty of sleep-with-the-lights-on scares that'll have you looking sideways at the occupants of the next RV you encounter.

It's up to Ballmer to articulate first to his board and then to shareholders (and potential shareholders) what his plans are. Eight years into his tenure, he hasn't done this. A classic stereotype about CEOs is that those who come from a sales, engineering, or finance background tend to be more short-term focused and analytical. Those from marketing or a variety of functional background experiences tend to be more strategic and long-range thinkers. It's not either/or, of course, as the best CEOs have a combination of short-term decision-making and street smarts, balanced with a long-range vision. Ballmer is often described (even in his official corporate bio) as ebullient, hard-charging, passionate and dynamic. These are all fine characteristics, but clearly he's not spent enough time with shareholders selling the overall plan for Microsoft. If you're a value institutional investor and buy into Microsoft now because of its low price-to-earnings ratio and dividend yield, you face the possibility that Ballmer might change the rules of the game next week with another "transformational" acquisition. This "undefined strategy risk" is a weight on the stock price. Ballmer can easily correct this problem, and Microsoft has such wealth, talent and market leadership that it cannot be counted out. Despite Ballmer's enormous personal wealth, it's likely he views the next 10 years of his career as the most important. This is his time to step out of Bill Gates' shadow and truly leave his mark on Microsoft. I believe the "growth model" of Microsoft is a more compelling vision than the "utility model." To execute that vision, he will probably need to shed some businesses to increase its focus. We'll see whether Ballmer can make this elephant dance. Nobody ever made a dime by panicking, says Jim Cramer. Moneymaking opportunities exist despite the market turmoil. So where's a market master like Cramer putting his money these days?

Madonna & Jesus Luz: Bound Together By Fashion
Recovering from her fall off a horse, Madonna has decided to keep her relationship with model Jesus Luz…for now. According to a spy who talked with Page Six, the pop star has been pulling strings to keep her boy toy in the country.
"All these fashion lines are hiring Jesus as a favor to Madonna. As long as he can legally work in the US, they can be together," the source revealed.
Both Marc Jacobs and Dolce & Gabbana are keeping the Brazlian 22-year-old employed, although Madonna's rep denies any involvement in her boyfriend's career. Gee, I wonder why she would be working so hard to keep a hold on him?
Gallery Info: Madonna, Jesus Luz and her family attend Kabbalah services.

One guy there says the breakdown is:
Guess that leaves us $1.3M on our MLE, and our $1.6 LLE.
If we re-sign Dale with the LLE, is there anyone out there we'd want to get with the remainder of our MLE?
If Freddie Jones were to get moved, a couple of names ...
Dice Roll - DaJuan Wagner, Kedrick Brown
Defense - Greg Buckner, Adrian Griffin
Shooter - Jon Barry, Kareem Rush
Maybe a veteran like Steve Smith. Which is an idea I might like more than most ideas.
Actually, some of these guys could've already signed somewhere, but I'm being completely lazy right now.
actually, i believe the max raise allowed for free agents that are not ur own is 8% under the new cba....thats the way i understand what ive read so far...10% was true under the old cba...Originally Posted by Will Galen
I'll go check to be sure.
thats what i was saying...Originally Posted by Will Galen

but since saras isnt our own, he would only be entitled to 8 % raises..

Oh I love the guy who says the Cavs are better than the Pacers.
His theory is our big three is not as good as their big thre.
Ron, J.O and Jax v. Z, Hughes and Lebron.
he says J.O. might have the edge on Z. That is laughable

Lebron James is a top 3 player in the NBA that is only going to get better and better. Hughes is a better player than Jackson.
I would trade JO, Artest, and Jackson for Z, Lebron, and Hughes...because Lebron James is spectacular.
Yikes no way I do that trade. Hughes lead the league in steals but is hardly a lockdown defender. JO/Ron/Jax combined are so far ahead of Z/LBJ/Hughes on the defensive end its not funny.Originally Posted by PacerFanAdam
Reading some of the comments on the Cavs forum is really getting me fired up. Many of the Cavs fans are really making good points about how good the pacers will be
"Well it's time to dry our eyes and suck it up."
Sometimes a good cry makes one feel better. Don't fight the feeling
"We don't need him anyways...Cavalier pride"
And he didn't need you. Playing Pippen v2.0 to Jordan Redux wasn't all that appealling.
"We are still deadly even with Snow"
I won't make any silly comments about the brown or red colored snow that certain areas in the rust belt have been known to get being deadly or anything. I won't, I promise.
I feel for them because getting your hopes up about something like this (or about Ron being reinstated - though I never had my hopes up about that others did) only to be let down is tough. On the bright side, they still have that guy named LeBron and some other nice pieces so they should not be heading off to Secaucus each Spring as long as they keep those things. Anyway, it could be worse; they could be Hawks fans.

Isle of Palms is a city in Charleston County, South Carolina, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population on the island was 4,133. Isle of Palms is a barrier island on the South Carolina coast. As defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and used by the U.S. Census Bureau for statistical purposes only, Isle of Palms is included within the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville metropolitan area and the Charleston-North Charleston Urbanized Area. The town lies along a narrow strip of land, hugging the beach, separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. It is an affluent community of both vacation home owners and year-round residents, with large beachfront homes, resorts, and local restaurants. Beach volleyball is popular in the summer, and the "Windjammer" club hosts several tournaments throughout the year.
The island's original inhabitants were the Sewee tribe.
During the American Civil War, the H.L. Hunley departed from Breach Inlet, between Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island.
In the late nineteenth century, local residents began using the island as a vacation spot. At that time it was only accessible by ferry. It was bought by J.S. Lawrence in 1899, who gave the island its current name; before then it was known as Hunting Island or Long Island. A 50-room hotel was built in 1906. In 1912, James Sottile had a beach pavilion and an amusement park built, and a trolley line was constructed from Mount Pleasant on the mainland to Isle of Palms via Sullivan's Island. In 1929, Grace Memorial Bridge was built between Charleston and Mount Pleasant to allow automobile traffic to reach the island.
Large-scale residential development began when J.C. Long bought up most of the island and built low-cost housing for World War II veterans. In 1975, the Sea Pines Company (of Hilton Head Island fame) established the development now known as The Wild Dunes Beach and Racquet Club. Isle of Palms was the first stop on Alton Brown's coast-to-coast tour in his program Feasting on Asphalt, and the first restaurant he visited was Jack's Cosmic Dogs, owned by Isle of Palms resident Jack Hurley.
E. Lee Spence, a pioneer underwater archaeologist and prolific author of books and articles about shipwrecks and sunken treasure discovered, with the help of Isle of Palms residents Wally Shaffer and George Campsen Esq., many shipwrecks along the shores of the Isle of Palms in the 1960s. Their discoveries included the Civil War blockade runners Rattlesnake, Stonewall Jackson, Mary Bowers, Constance, Norseman and the Georgiana. The iron hulled steamer Georgiana, which was sunk on her maiden voyage, was described in contemporary documents as pierced for 14 guns and more powerful than the famous Confederate cruiser Alabama. These historic discoveries resulted in the passage of South Carolina's Underwater Antiquities Act allowing the archaeological salvage of shipwrecks.
During Hurricane Hugo, which struck September 21, 1989, much of the island was flooded by the storm surge.
The northeastern end of the Isle of Palms, which is home to the private community of Wild Dunes, endured a severe erosion crisis as a shoal attached to that section of the island and caused sand to be washed away from around the foundation of a large condominium. The City undertook a controversial beach restoration project in the spring and summer of 2008 [1] which replenished the beach with dredged sand and saved the threatened structures.

Members of the search and rescue team Tintron from Grímsnes in Grafningshreppur, Southwest Iceland, were called out to assist travelers on modified trucks, two adults and four children, at around 11 pm on Saturday evening. They weren't found immediately and had to spend the night in their vehicles.
Þingvellir National Park. The shield volcano Skjaldbreiður (in the distance to the left) erupted 9,000 years ago. Þingvellir was created in the same eruption. Páll Stefánsson/Iceland Review.
The travelers were driving on a highland trail near the mountain Skjaldbreiður north of Þingvellir National Park but got stuck in slush, Morgunblaðið reports.
Tintron members arrived on a snowmobile approximately two hours after the emergency call was made. However, they couldn't locate the vehicles due to poor visibility and sporadic telephone connection, as described in an ICE-SAR press release.
Because there were children among the stranded travelers, a Coast Guard helicopter was called out to participate in the search at 2 am. However, the helicopter crew had to abandon the search mission shortly afterwards due to poor visibility.
Eventually, telephone connection could be reestablished and the people were able to state almost their exact location.
The trucks were stuck but the travelers were all in good condition. Trinton towed the vehicles loose and accompanied them to town where they arrived at 7 am on Sunday morning.
The Coast Guard was busy with assisting three vessels in North Iceland last weekend, which had to be towed to harbor in Siglufjörður and Akureyri. A fourth vessel off South Iceland was accompanied to harbor in Sandgerði due to bad weather.
Yesterday, 25-30 search and rescue team members continued search for a man reported missing in Siglufjörður last week. The search area has now been limited to the fjord as the entire search area on land is believed to have been covered.
Boats and divers were used for the search, including a boat from the ICE-SAR team in Akranes, which is equipped with a camera to scan the ocean floor.

Although Jennifer Aniston plays a single woman desperate to have a baby in her upcoming flick, The Switch, in real life, she's anything but. And rumors persist that she and ex-hubby Brad Pitt split because he wanted to start a family when she wasn't ready. "I've liked working right now, but I also feel that this'll be probably the most important job I'll ever do, having a baby, so that deserves time like my career deserves time," she said.
Cameron Diaz may love her role as a doting aunt, but she doesn't feel the same about motherhood. "Having children changes your life drastically, and I really love my life," she has said.

Central Bank of India fixes base rate at 8%
India Infoline News Service | Mumbai |
Existing loans based on BPLR System may run till their maturity.
Central Bank of India has fixed the base rate at 8% after taking into account the cost of deposits and other relevant variables. This Base Rate will be effective from 1st of July 2010. The Base Rate is applicable for all new loans and for those old loans that come up for renewal. Existing loans based on BPLR System may run till their maturity. In case the existing borrowers want to switch to the new system before expiry of the existing contracts, they may approach the Bank for switch over to new Base Rate System. The Bank will not charge any fee for such switch over.
All categories of loans will henceforth be priced only with reference to the Base Rate, except for (a) DRI Advances; (b) Loans to Bank's own employees and (c) Loans to Bank's depositors against their own deposits.
Further, for Crop loans and Export Credits where interest subvention is provided by the Government, the rate of interest chargeable in such cases by the Bank may be lower than the Base Rate. Such lending will not be construed to be violative of the Base Rate guidelines.
In case of Restructured loans if some of the WCTL, FITL, etc. need to be granted below the Base Rate for the purposes of viability and there are recompense etc. clauses, such lending will not be construed to be violative of the Base Rate guidelines.
The computation of the Base Rate does not reckon certain parameters that went into the computation of the Benchmark Prime Lending Rate. It is the Bank's endeavour that the actual interest rate applicable to borrowers does not change, particularly for small and medium enterprises and home loan borrowers.
