CHERRY POINT � Cherry Point air station�s departing commander said the Marine air station plays a vital role, has room to grow and will be around for a long time.
CHERRY POINT � Cherry Point air station�s departing commander said the Marine air station plays a vital role, has room to grow and will be around for a long time.
Col. Philip J. Zimmerman, who has commanded the base since Nov. 15, 2010, handed over command to Col. Chris Pappas III at a ceremony Thursday at Cherry Point.
Zimmerman, 48, has spent five tours and 13 years based at Cherry Point.
�I think Cherry Point is in a very good position,� Zimmerman said. �We�ve completed the master plan for the base that will take us out to 2050.�
Zimmerman said the base has room for growth.
�We are in a position where if the Marine Corps wanted to put more forces, more squadrons here, we could accommodate them,� he said. �Our water and electricity sustainment, everything is solid right now. It�s all good. We are well within our permits and well within our operational capacity of what we advertise the air station will be conducting operations flight-wise. We have room for more.
�With the FRC East here and the fact that we�re the aerial point of embarkation for the fleet on the East Coast, it serves a very vital mission, and I think it�s going to be around here for quite a long time.�
Since his first Cherry Point tour in 1991, Zimmerman said the basic infrastructure of the base hasn�t changed a lot.
�What�s really changed is what�s inside the buildings, the computers, the cell phones and the technology,� Zimmerman said.
Throughout the last three years, social media such as Facebook and Twitter have meant that the information flows a lot faster, he said.
�You have to be a lot more careful about the messaging that you�re putting out and informing people and trying to stay ahead of it. You don�t have the 24-hour news cycle anymore. It�s maybe 24 seconds now,� Zimmerman said.
While Zimmerman has been in command, the base has replaced its headquarters building following a 2007 fire that destroyed the old one. The temporary office arrangement before the new headquarters opened meant that the base commander and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing commander were in separate buildings, complicating communications.
�It�s much easier now,� Zimmerman said. �I can walk across the hall and talk to the general and talk with him on issues and making sure we are supporting him correctly.�
Zimmerman said keeping the two largest staffs on the base together means better interaction. The leaders can meet face-to-face rather than on the phone or through email.
Other facilities opened, too, such as the child development center and the bachelor enlisted quarters.
�I was just in there last week,� he said of the BEQ. �If you make it nice, then they�re going to keep it nice and it�s almost as nice as when we opened it.�
The commander said he was also proud of the work to replace aging base housing in the Nugent Cove subdivision.
�You know you concern yourself with running the base, but a big portion of that is making sure that the Marines are happy and that the families are happy,� Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman said he was proud of the Facilities, Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization programs undertaken under his watch at Cherry Point.
�That�s where a CO really gets to dig into things and improve them,� he said. �It helps us with our energy consumption. It makes the buildings nicer, up to date, safer.�
He has also been pleased that North Carolina-based companies got $150 million worth of the contract work.
He said big military construction projects were nice, but he�s most proud of the people with whom he has worked.
�They�ve been under stress for the last year or two years with the hiring freezes and the sequestration, the continuing resolutions, but they�ve been able to keep going, act professional, get their jobs done and really care about what they do, and they do care about what they do,� Zimmerman said. �Two of the things I�m particularly proud of are our response to Hurricane Irene and getting the airfield back up, and then the 2012 air show, which was done very safely and flawlessly. Everybody got home safe and it was a nice three-day weekend for Eastern North Carolina.�
Zimmerman�s new assignment will be as officer in charge of Marine Corps Activities in Guam, where he will help coordinate movement of forces.
Zimmerman grew up in Colorado, but in his 26-year Marine Corps career, he has been to Japan, Italy, Iraq and Afghanistan. It will be his first time to Guam.
�I�ll also be taking advantage of my leave and getting out to see Australia, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and all the countries around there,� he said.
He�ll always remember Havelock, though.
�I�ve never seen more support in a community, and everything they have done for me and for the Marines and their welcoming and somewhat laidback attitude makes this a very special place,� he said. �It makes it very easy for the air station commander to get things done.�
Mutual cooperation between the base and the city in fighting encroachment and placing a six-mile city sewer treatment pipe across the base has paid off for both, he said.
�Havelock and the surrounding communities take care of our Marines and they do it in a very warm and receptive manner,� Zimmerman said. �Any time that I�ve ever asked for anything from the surrounding counties or towns, nobody�s ever said �no.��

One of the areas where we can shift our tastes slightly and make a significant impact on our health is by steering away from the traditional ground crops providing us with corn, soy, safflower and vegetable oils. We can include different oils, ones that have been proven over the years to be associated with wonderful health benefits. Here, you'll learn about another "Golden Elixir" from tropical parts of the world that burst with flavor and simultaneously, make us healthy.
It's common knowledge that the hydrogenated oils in our American diet have not done us much good, health-wise. They have interfered with essential fat absorption, creating a cascade of inflammation in the body, and have been linked to asthma, heart disease, cancer, prostate issues, neurological disease, and decreased immune system function.
The high level of omega-6 fats to omega-3 fats in our oils has allowed our omega-6/omega-3 ratio to skyrocket 10 to 20:1 instead of the rejuvenating ratio of up to 5:1. It's time to tip the balance towards health, and experimenting with new recipes and incorporating them into our diet is exactly what we need.
And why not? We love new stimulating and tantillizing dishes that can create a brand new experience in the culinary realm!
When asked to think of a tropical setting, many people think about palm trees, sandy beaches, pina coladas, fresh coconut milk sipped straight from the coconut, and of course, happy islanders.
The tree of life in tropical settings has always been the coconut tree, which provided food, drink and fuel to islanders for thousands of years. It was a necessary staple to their survival.
Study after study found that the happy islanders had more going for their health than we did as Americans. Their rates of cancer, diabetes, and degenerative diseases are nowhere near ours in the United States. Many health practitioners and researchers believe that the oils the tropical islanders consume are very protective.
History Set Our American Preferences
In the last few decades in America, edible oil (corn, sunflower, safflower, soy, and vegetable) manufacturers have marketed their oils heavily, emphasizing health benefits of unsaturated oils, and the lone coconut ended up with a bad rap about its saturated fat content along with a fear that it could cause plaque accumulation in the arteries. However, coconut oil liquefies once inside the body, and scientists have determined that arterial plaques are mostly a result of a combination of rancid unsaturated fats (lipid eroxidation) with the effects of adrenaline produced from stress.
Coconut oil research has now cracked open benefits of this life-giving tropical delight: better thyroid function, a stronger immune system, smoother skin, and better blood sugar regulation, even for diabetics. These are exactly some of the major issues we want solved in the 21st century.

Schulz, (July 10th - Aug 18th) and the one-man comedy Fully Committed (July 5th - Aug 16th).
LES MISERABLES will be directed by Carbonell Award-winner Mark Martino. Multiple Emmy Award-winner Jay Sandrich will direct Fully Committed, by Becky Mode and You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown will be directed by Artistic Director Paige Price, with choreography by Broadway veteran JoAnn M. Hunter.

I liked this book because I like the author and I have read other stories that she has written like "Elizabeth's Broken Arm". I recommend this book to people because of things that the classmates did to make sure that Jessica was not scared anymore. After reading this book, I know that feeling scared is alright.

Retirement planning officials are worried that Congress, in its efforts to reduce the federal deficit, will look to pilfer the tax expenditures for employer-provided retirement plans—which totaled $112 billion in fiscal year 2011, James Klein, president of the American Benefits Council (ABC), said in testimony before the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions (HELP) on June 14.
In its scramble to find ways to reduce the deficit, "some in Congress may overlook how these plans provide retirement savings incentives to workers at a significantly lower cost than the additional dollars needed to expand corresponding public programs," Klein said. "Because members of the Education and Workforce Committee inherently understand the value of the employer-sponsored retirement system, you are especially well positioned to be a voice within the budget debate on the need for tax policy to support, not erode, employer plans and retirement savings."
William Sweetnam, co-chair of Washington-based Groom Law Group's Policy and Legislation Group, who was previously the benefits tax counsel in the Office of Tax Policy at the Treasury Department, says that in deciding how to close the budget deficit, "Congress will be looking at cutting all government spending—including reducing tax expenditures." One of the biggest tax expenditures, he says, "is the current exclusion from taxable income of contributions and earnings on employer-based defined-benefit pension plans and defined-contribution plans"—like 401(k) plans.
"If employers don't want to see reduced limits in the amount of contributions and benefits that can be provided under a retirement plan, they will need to make a good argument that the tax expenditure for these plans is a worthwhile government expenditure," Sweetnam says. "One way to do that is to show how many employees will lose access to retirement plan benefits if the limits on benefits for these plans are reduced."
Indeed Brian Graff, executive director and CEO of the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries (ASPPA), says new research from ASPPA shows that proposals to scale back or eliminate retirement savings incentives in 401(k) plans not only "endanger the ability of low- and moderate-income workers to enjoy secure retirements but are based on faulty math."
ASPPA says its analysis shows "the real cost of retirement savings incentives to be 55% to 75% lower than claimed by budget hawks, meaning that proposed cuts will not save nearly as much as advertised even as they jeopardize the future of 401(k)s and other retirement plans."
When evaluating the cost of the tax deferrals associated with defined-contribution plans such as 401(k) and Keogh plans, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Analysis (OTA) both use current cash-flow analysis, ASPPA explains. "Since workers withdraw money from these plans only in retirement, the taxes paid show up outside the 10-year time frame used in cash-flow analysis, and therefore are 'scored' as lost revenue, rather than deferred revenue," Graff explains.
These tax deferrals differ from tax credits or deductions, such as those for medical expenses or mortgage interest, since the taxes deferred ultimately are paid. "The faulty analysis dramatically exaggerates the real cost of the tax incentives for retirement plans," Graff says. "In fact, using present-value analysis—which economists typically use for long-term analysis—economist Judy Xanthopoulos and tax attorney Mary Schmitt have calculated that present-value estimates of the five-year cost of retirement savings tax expenditure are 55% lower than those of the JCT and 75% lower than those of the OTA."
Impending Enforcement
Retirement planning officials take note: In case you hadn't noticed, the Obama administration is ramping up enforcement efforts to combat the large number of retirement plans that it says are non-compliant with retirement planning rules and regulations.
The Department of Labor (DOL) has stated that 77% of 401(k) plans are non-compliant "in some form," said John Carl, president of the Retirement Learning Center, which is sponsored by Columbia Management, the investment manager owned by Ameriprise Financial, at the SPARK Institute's national conference in Washington on June 14.
While 2009 was a bad year for the economy, Carl said, it wasn't so bad for the DOL—the department managed to add 997 employees that year—with 70% of those employees added to its enforcement division. The DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), for instance, saw a 28% budget increase in 2009, and EBSA added 29 enforcement personnel.
Carl also said that at the end of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) employer plan division disclosed its list of "plan sponsor audit targets"—U.S. companies owned by foreign entities; 403(b) plans; and small business owners.
For the retirement planning industry, "the stakes are higher than they ever were," Carl said. "Lots of enforcement folks are running around kicking the tires."
While the current administration is focused on enforcement initiatives, like previous administrations, it's also pushing an agenda to address how unprepared most workers are for retirement.
Carl listed some statistics that demonstrate why the administration is concerned:
- 54% of workers report less than $25,000 in total savings and investments; 27% have less than $1,000;
- Half of U.S. workers do not have access to employer-based retirement plans;
- Only 54% of small businesses (those with fewer than 100 employees) offer a retirement plan;
- Plan participation rate is 75% for those with access to a plan; and
- The average account balance of the typical retiring defined-contribution plan participant is $144,000.
To combat its retirement planning concerns, the administration is pushing a pretty sizable agenda—including expanding the definition of who's considered a fiduciary. Carl said that while there should be a "more level playing field so consumers know what they are getting when it comes to advice," referring to the DOL's regulation amending the definition of fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), "I'm not sure it should be a Title 1 ERISA" fiduciary standard. The fiduciary standard "should be something [the retirement planning] industry can comply with without mass change."
The administration's retirement planning agenda, according to Carl, includes:
- Auto IRA
- Plan startup tax credit
- Target date analysis
- Plan fee transparency
- Lifetime income options in DC plans
- Investment advice proposal
- Increased IRS and DOL enforcement and compliance assistance
- Expanded definition of ERISA investment advice fiduciary
- Social Security reform

What Is Transportation Management Software?
Transportation management solutions (or TMS) help users plan and execute deliveries across the supply chain. Efficient deliveries depend on informed route planning, freight consolidation and enhanced visibility. By providing managers with appropriate tools like route optimization, load building and track and trace, the right TMS system can improve fleet performance and reduce supply chain expenditures. Along with warehousing solutions and fleet management systems, TMS solutions constitute the logistics side of an overall supply chain management system.
Common Features of TMS Systems
Transportation systems offer a number of important tools to maximize efficiency and reduce costs associated with product shipping and logistics. Some of these features include strategic freight sourcing tools, multi-modal planning functionality, route optimization, freight consolidation and dock scheduling.
These features provide the following functionality:
|Automated carrier selection
|A TMS improves the carrier procurement process by determining the smartest carrier and mode options for each delivery.
|Shipment consolidation
|Consolidating shipments is the single fastest way to cut shipping costs. A TMS will assess all scheduled shipments and arrange them in efficient bundles, maximizing their load consolidation with each delivery.
|Route optimization
|A TMS uses maps, road speeds, traffic data, fuel costs and modal limitations to determine the most efficient route to save time and gas. In addition to TMS solutions, fleet management software also commonly includes route optimization functionality.
|Freight estimate optimization
|Whether you're submitting bids or simply calculating shipping costs, a TMS will calculate the cost of delivery based on cargo weight, mode of shipping, delivery distance and other variables, and provide comprehensive reports and needs analyses to facilitate more cost-efficient choices.
|These systems include accounting functionality that helps users reconcile invoices with shipments, audit freight bills, reduce payment errors and establish tolerances for match-pay settlements.
TMS Software: Integrated suites Vs. Best-of-Breed
Often, TMS software will be packaged as a group of modules within an enterprise resource planning and/or supply chain management system. Individual TMS applications can also be offered as standalone services.
The advantages to an integrated suite will be far better integration out-of-the box (e.g., fuel expenses automatically sync with the organization's accounting modules), but what they have in breadth of features they might lack in depth, and for smaller organizations they can be overkill. Individual best-of-breed applications may require more custom built integrations, but they are typically more fully featured than their counterparts in integrated suites.
One thing to keep in mind is what your needs are. If you need to overhaul your entire system, then you would obviously want to look at a broad, integrated suite. If, however, you are only trying to improve one aspect of your operation or fill a functional gap, a best-of-breed application might be your best bet.
TMS Software Pricing
Transportation management systems are typically priced two ways: perpetual and subscription licensing.
Perpetual. The firm purchases a license to use the software in perpetuity, with the license price typically determined by the size of the organization or the number of vehicles in its fleet. Keep in mind that you often have to pay annual fees for support, maintenance and upgrades—one general rule of thumb is you can expect those annual costs to amount to roughly 20 percent of the perpetual license fee.
Subscription. The firm purchases a subscription (typically billed monthly) that is based on the current size of the organization or the number of vehicles in its fleet. Typically the organization will have to pay more for every additional truck it adds into the system. Fees for support, maintenance and upgrades are generally wrapped into the subscription price, so the organization can usually determine what the total cost of ownership for the system will be during its lifecycle.
TMS Software Deployment
Transportation management systems are typically deployed two ways: cloud-based and hosted on-premise.
Cloud-based. With a cloud-based system, the software is hosted on the vendor or a third party's servers, and can be accessed through a web browser or via a mobile app if the vendor offers one. The recent trend has definitely been toward deploying cloud-based software, as it is often cheaper to deploy and easier to manage for smaller to midsize fleets.
On-premise. The organization hosts the software on its own computers and servers. The traditional method of software deployment, on-premise deployment has started falling out of fashion in the TMS realm due largely to the increased use of internet-connected hardware devices embedded in trucks or other commercial vehicles. That said, larger distribution firms, or firms with particular security needs might find more value out of an on-premise system.
Market Trends to Understand
Internet of Things. More TMS systems are starting to integrate or otherwise be paired with Internet of Things (IoT) hardware devices that are placed in the vehicle and are used to relay more than just simple GPS tracking. Food distributors, for example, often use internet-connected thermometers to ensure that food shipments are maintained at certain temperatures.
Global Trade Management. Some TMS platforms also feature modules for Global Trade Management, such as international tax and ISO compliance, international shipping schedules and other tools to assist with transoceanic shipping.
Driverless technology. It will be interesting to see which TMS vendors make the greatest strides into developing integrations for autonomous vehicles. It is expected that commercial autonomous vehicles will be on the roads en masse in as little as five years, so expect there to be much disruption in the realm of fleet and transportation management.
Evaluating TMS Systems
Demand for high-quality transportion software systems has gone up as organizations realize their cost-saving potential. But their historical lack of use means there's no one truly dominant leader in the small and mid-size business markets.
Important considerations when selecting a TMS program include:
- Is your organization interested in an on-premise or SaaS deployment?
- Is your organization a small to mid-sized business? If so, does the vendor have an established reputation for serving the needs of business of this size?
- Does the system support all modes of shipping within your operation?
- Can the system offer specialized functionality to meet the unique delivery needs of your vertical market?
- Does your organization engage in global trade? Not all TMS systems include functionality for international logistics.

AURORA, Colorado - A Colorado woman says she was denied a massage because of her size.
Laura Smith trains with a running group for a half marathon in May, but she couldn't run away fast enough from a painful situation last month.
"I had planned it specifically for the day after my marathon, because I knew I'd be hurting," she said.
She had just completed a half marathon in Arizona and couldn't wait for a massage at natural healing center.
"She, the doctor comes out and she says, I'm sorry but you're too fat for our tables. You're going to probably break a table and then you'd have to pay for it.' and i was like, in shock, like I'm hearing this?"
She left the center in tears. She couldn't understand. She's six-foot-three and had massages even before she'd lost 47 pounds to drop to about 250.
"I mean I'm not tiny, I know that, but I'm working on it."
At Kambeitz Chiropractic Health and Wellness, a client's weight has never been an issue in 15 years of business.
"There's static weight which most benches hold up to about 2,000 pounds, and then there's working weight which is up to about 500 pounds for the patient." said Chiropractic Doctor Jim Kambeitz.
Penny Wells, the owner of Natural Healing Center, wouldn't talk on camera, but she says she called Smith large, not fat. And she worried a table might collapse because one had broken under a 165 pound man.
"I honestly expected to have some kind of a phone call or something from them, you know, just to say, 'wow, we're really sorry we didn't know it came across that way," or something, but nothing," said Smith.
And Smith says she's still waiting to get that massage. "I don't think i want a massage there though."

Washington, D.C. (February 17, 2009) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) President and CEO Billy Tauzin issued the following statement regarding PhRMA's 2009 Special 301 submission (read the report), which outlines global intellectual property priorities:
"The Special 301 process is an important part of the Administration's efforts to strengthen intellectual property laws and enforcement around the world. Intellectual property protection is vital to creating the incentives essential to spurring the research and development of new medicines. PhRMA and its members appreciate efforts to help patients access new medicines that improve health outcomes.
"PhRMA's Special 301 submission identifies specific countries that need to improve intellectual property protection and enforcement for pharmaceutical products or that maintain market access barriers which subvert intellectual property protection. Our submission emphasizes counterfeiting problems that present public health concerns both in the United States and around the world. The increasing prevalence of counterfeit medicines demands an aggressive, coordinated response among all U.S. trading partners.
"In addition to seeking improvements in global IP protection, our submission addresses other market access barriers to innovative medicines. These foreign market access barriers have the long-term impact of harming American citizens by costing American jobs and undermining sustainable innovation.
"America's pharmaceutical research companies are a cornerstone of our high-tech business sector and one of the most significant knowledge-intensive enterprises in the U.S. economy. PhRMA member companies' research and development efforts contribute dramatically to the health of the U.S. economy but depend on continued innovation and market access for increased growth.
"A worldwide respect for intellectual property is necessary in order to transfer new innovations and discoveries into products we can all use. When other countries fail to protect innovation, it affects the lives of not only Americans but ultimately patients around the globe. Patients around the world are waiting for the more than 2,000 new medicines currently in development by PhRMA member companies."
Click here to read the report.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $44.5 billion in 2007 in discovering and developing new medicines. Industry-wide research and investment reached a record $58.8 billion in 2007.

Finding the Productivity Sweet Spot at Work
The Finding the Productivity Sweet Spot infographic from NICE.com takes a close look at how employees waste their time online at work, but offers a better solution to manage employee productivity. Don't cut off Internet to your employees! Instead, manage their personal time online to a reasonable level and everyone wins!
Everyone wastes a bit of time at work, and some of the key sources may surprise you. It's not just the internet that can cost employers time at work. Read our infographic on time wasting at work to understand if fantasy football or facebook causes us to procrastinate more.
There is an ideal balance of non-work activity that keeps people refeshed and employees engaged. It's just unrealistic to expect 100% efficiency through the day. Distractions at work existed before the Internet. The key for companies is to manage these time wasters at work to an ideal level.
Designed by InfoNewt, the infographic walks the reader through a 3-part story…
How much time is being wasted at work?
What are employees doing during this wasted time?
What's the ideal amount of time to let employees have personal time online?
Big thanks to the team at NICE!

Our longest running and most popular craft activity is Pottery, where you have the opportunity to create your own piece using one of the following methods.
Session 1
We have over 1000 moulds available for slip-casting including planters, vases, teapots, money boxes, jugs, animal figures, birds, wall plates, chess sets, table ornaments, a Christmas tree with lights and countless others. The process works by the slip (a mixture of clay and water) being poured into a plaster mould. The mould dries as the water element of the slip is absorbed into the plaster. The surplus slip is poured away leaving a layer of clay on the inside of the mould. After three hours you can return, remove your work from the mould and fettle-clean the edges and seams. Your work will be dried overnight.
Session 2
Under Glaze Decoration
(i) glazed by craft-centre tutors
(ii) fired in one of our five kilns
(iii) ready for next day collection
or Acrylic Painting
(i) part of pots may be glazed (e.g. inside)
(ii) pots fired, ready next day for acrylic decoration
- Wheelwork
Demonstrations of throwing are given on one of four wheels during Pottery session 1, with practical tips on clay preparation, wheel speed, shaping and handles.
- Hand building
Various methods will be demonstrated including coilpots, slab pots and free modelling. As this process often takes longer due to lengthier drying times, it is important to begin as early as possible during your break.
The cost for wheelwork and hand-building is £5.00; this includes both sessions and materials for up to three pots, extra pots are only £1.00 per item.
- Bisque - NOW AVAILABLE AT ASHBURY!
These are slip cast items the tutors have made and fired. We have a range of over 100 different popular moulds, which are held in stock ready for decoration. Bisqueware can be decorated using acrylic paints; alternatively under glaze paints can be used. These are then clearglazed only and then fired.

Last week at the Melo league versus Goodman league showdown, Carmelo Anthony provided us with an interesting quotation after the game:
""I'm trying to find Amar'e, man," Anthony said, laughing. "If anybody's seen Amar'e, just tell him. I don't know where he's at . . . I heard he's in China, I heard he's back. Maybe I'll see him in New York next week for Fashion Week."
Many Knick followers, myself included, cringed when he made these comments because the two cornerstones of the franchise need to be on the same page. Newsday has reported that Anthony was in fact joking and that the two Knick superstars have been in contact all off-season and that Stoudemire has in fact began to organize Knick workouts next month. According to un-named Knick players, Stoudemire has emailed all 10 Knicks under contract, a few free agents from last years team and both rookie draft picks about working out at the IMG basketball facility in Florida. Iman Shumpert, the teams first round selection has been working out at IMG all off-season. The workouts will take place from Oct. 19 – Nov. 3. Jerome Jordan likely will not be in attendance due to his contract with Slovenia and Ronny Turiaf has a broken finger so his status is unknown.
This is very refreshing to hear because I was very worried when Melo made those comments. The Knicks right now seem healthy enough to do a camp like this at full speed. Melo looked thinner and more muscular last week at the Melo league game and seems to be 100% healthy after that elbow injury and Billups has been cleared to play basketball again. Stoudemire has had issues with his back but he has been cleared to play basketball as well and was healthy enough to win a 3 point shooting contest in China last month. Overall, it is great to hear that the two stars have been in contact and hopefully this camp will carry over into better chemistry when the regular season begins.

The Spencer Family have lived in the same house for 500 years; I've been living in mine for 15, yet they don't seem to have accumulated nearly so much clutter.
Well, that's if you don't count their Van Dykes, Rubens and Gainsborough paintings, four- poster beds "as slept in by royalty" and several thousand books. I also suspect that, out of public view, there must be the same kinds of cupboards as I have where everything falls out when you open the doors.
The Spencers of Althorp, Northampton began building their house in 1508 and an unbroken line of Spencer earls and their families have lived there ever since. The most famous member of the family is unquestionably Diana, Princess of Wales, although she did not move to Althorp with her siblings and divorced father until she was a teenager.
Althorp's family history and its immensely valuable art collection should always have ensured it was one of England's most popular stately homes to visit, but there's no doubt that the link with Diana has, since her death in 1997, raised its public profile considerably.
Diana's body was interred on a small island in The Round Oval (as the lake in the gardens is known). That was followed by a rash of snide comments in the media that the present earl, Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, was profiting financially from her fame and death.
He denies any such thing of course and as the Spencer family fortune is estimate to be worth about 100 million pounds a few years ago it does rather suggest they are not struggling to pay the supermarket bill. However, household repairs don't come cheap - a roof replacement project recently was estimated to cost £10 million. Earl Spencer also has a rather large family to support - two ex-wives, a new wife with a baby born just a few months ago and six other children.
And when he did have a bit of a clean out a few years ago, auctioning everything from 19th century carriages, First World War dress uniforms, riding boots to copper jelly moulds, an impressive sum of £21 million was raised. Now that was some garage sale.
Althorp is just a few kilometres outside Northampton and it's a remarkably fast transformation from Midlands industrial townscape to the estate of rolling pasture and woodlands. There are 14,000 acres in all, including some in the neighbouring county of Warwickshire and to the east in Norfolk.
The first significant building visitors come across after the walk along the driveway from one of several gates is the stables. They are in fact a much more attractive building from the exterior than Althorp house itself. Built in the 1730s in Italian Tuscan style using local honey coloured ironstone, they once could stable up to 100 horses and 40 grooms.
Today they have been converted into an exhibition commemorating the life of Diana. Pride of place among the displays is a wedding dress, the Spencer tiara that she wore on the day she married Prince Charles and two of the bridesmaids' dresses.
There is a wealth of memorabilia from her childhood too, including photographs and even home movies taken by her father, Edward, the eighth earl. Some of her most iconic dresses are exhibited too, including less glamourous clothes such as an outfit captured innumerable times in photographs during one of her visits to Africa.
The exterior of the house itself was originally red brick but one of the early Spencers, the Second Earl of Sunderland, decided that brick did not sufficiently do justice to his status. He commissioned architect to the nobility Henry Holland to help. Holland opted to reclad Althorp in white "mathematical" tiles. It was not his finest hour.
Althorp is definitely an example of resisting the temptation to judge a book by its cover. The interiors more than make up for the decidedly institutional exterior. But if you visit, make sure you have plenty of time - each room on the tour (and I lost count of how many there were) is not only packed with treasures from paintings to furniture but the architecture itself deserves attention.
And then there's the royal visitations and family dramas that have played out in some of the rooms. There's the black and white tiled Wootton Hall where Diana used to tap dance for hours; the ante room where a relative of one of the Spencer wives died of small pox; a number of beautiful four-posters where royalty has reposed over the centuries - the bed used by King William of Orange in 1695 (on that occasion the canopy was covered with ostrich feathers) and the elegant bed in which Queen Mary slept in 1913.
Most romantic of all is the Oak Bedroom to where in 1755 John, who would later become the First Earl Spencer, spirited his fiancee Georgiana to be married in secret by his tutor (who conveniently was also a priest).
The115-ft long Picture Gallery is a who's who of earls, countesses, duchesses. The family has close ties with the Marlboroughs and Churchills among others. Most famously at one end is hung Van Dyck's enormous painting known as "War and Peace". The two men depicted, were brothers-in-law but fought on opposing sides during the 17th century English Civil War.
It's rather a daunting room. I preferred the more homely atmosphere of the library which today is used as a family sitting room. There are 10,000 books kept here, an impressive collection, but this only a quarter of what the Second Earl amassed. He had 40,000 books including rare editions of Shakespeare. The bulk of the collection was sold of in 1892.
I enjoyed too, the juxtaposition between the grandeur of the Marlborough Room, with its 20- foot long state dining table with the Sunderland room next door. Almost every painting in the latter was of the Third Earl Spencer's prize cattle. Apparently after the earl's wife died in 1818 he consoled himself by developing a passion for stock breeding. Captured at their bucolic best were Orontes, Ranunculus and other cattle beast of prodigious size.
It was now time to visit the lake, the Round Oval, the part of the garden dedicated to Diana. There's a small island in the lake on which she is buried which is not accessible to the public. A monument nestled in the trees close to the water's edge is all that can be seen
But on the lakeshore is a summerhouse that has been remodeled as a Diana memorial with a silhouette in black marble and two inscriptions, one a quote from Diana and one from her brother, the conclusion of his eulogy in Westminster Abbey. There were several bouquets of fresh flowers lying on the ground in front of the memorial.
The summer house itself has an intriguing back story. It stood originally in the garden of Admiralty House in London and was bought by the Firth Earl Spencer for £3. Maybe it was an example of the usefulness of having friends in very high places.

Sept. 7, 2006
The Lipscomb University Bisons are playing a team from Nashville on Dec. 7, just not the team they originally expected to face.
The Bisons will play a basketball game against the Vanderbilt Commodores for the first time since making the move to NCAA Division I.
The Bisons will make the short trip to Memorial Gym on Dec. 7 to play the Commodores for the first time since Jan. 24,1955, an 88-61 loss.
"Obviously, this is great for us," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "The media coverage and attention the will get will be very good. We are excited about this opportunity."
The vacancy on the schedule occurred due to scheduling problems with Virginia Tech. In order to play Vanderbilt, the home game with Fisk, originally scheduled for Allen Arena on Dec. 7, has been reshuffled to Nov. 25 at 2 p.m. The Virginia Tech game was scheduled for Dec. 19 in Blacksburg, Va.
Vanderbilt is the third Southeastern Conference team on the schedule for the Bisons this season. They travel to the University of South Carolina Nov. 19 and then visit the University of Alabama Dec. 29.
"In the past two years we have played six SEC schools," said Sanderson. "I think whenever you can play those types of games, especially a local team, you have to do it."
Both Vanderbilt and Lipscomb lost in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament last season. Vanderbilt, 17-13 overall, lost to Notre Dame. The Bisons, 21-11 overall, tied with Belmont for the regular season championship in the Atlantic Sun Conference, lost at the University of Texas-El Paso.
"Our players have seen Vanderbilt play," said Sanderson. "They play against Vanderbilt's players in pick-up games in the summer.
"I like (Vanderbilt coach) Kevin Stallings. He does things the way he is supposed to do them. He is honest as the day is long. To be able to compete against those guys is going to be fun."
Sanderson has played on the Memorial Gym floor as a player at South Carolina and also made the trip with New Orleans as an assistant coach under Tim Floyd.
"The atmosphere will be great," said Sanderson. "We played Kentucky last year in Rupp Arena in front of 23,000 people. I'm sure that there will be a sellout crowd at Vanderbilt.
"Our fans are very excited about this game. We are already getting phone calls about tickets. Whenever you can get that kind of excitement about your program it is a positive."
The Bisons are 4-19 overall against Vanderbilt.

*** begin quote ***
gManZboy writes "GM's new CIO Randy Mott plans to bring nearly all IT work in-house as one piece of a sweeping IT overhaul. It's a high-risk strategy that's similar to what Mott drove at Hewlett-Packard. Today, about 90% of GM's IT services, from running data centers to writing applications, are provided by outsourcing companies such as HP/EDS, IBM, Capgemini, and Wipro, and only 10% are done by GM employees. Mott plans to flip those percentages in about three years–to 90% GM staff, 10% outsourcers. This will require a hiring binge. Mott's larger IT transformation plan doesn't emphasize budget cuts but centers on delivering more value from IT, much faster–at a time when the world's No. 2 automaker (Toyota is now No. 1) is still climbing out of bankruptcy protection and a $50 billion government bailout."
*** end quote ***
So, let's understand this. The Gooferment bailed out GM and all the people who work in the outsourcing companies will now be disrupted. Argh! These disruptions — both when companies "outsource" and when they "insource" — just whipsaw the people.
Time for a complete rethink.

Seeking yield: the long-term Asian dividend story
Despite the prospect of an impending Federal Reserve rate hike, we believe the long-term case for investing in Asian dividend stocks remains strong.
- Asian stocks offer an attractive long-term dividend option
- Asian dividend yields at around pre-financial crisis averages
- Rate risk to yield in defensive sectors
- Selective consumer discretionary, telecoms, energy companies preferred
The unknown Asian dividend story
In the current investment climate many investors are expecting an interest rate rise announcement from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) possibly as early as September, which many believe will hurt the appeal of dividend-paying stocks.
However, this assumption ignores the positive longer-term dividend story in another part of the world: Asia. The long-term investment case for Asia is well-documented:
- Favourable demographics
- Rising levels of urbanisation
- Increasing investment in infrastructure
- A burgeoning consumerist middle class
All of which are contributing to the region's strong long-term economic growth. While the story behind continued capital growth from Asian stocks is well-known, the dividend story is perhaps less so.
Income attraction
Despite the potential US rate rise, we believe the long-term case for investing in Asian dividend stocks remains strong.
First, dividend returns in Asia are highly-correlated to economic growth and account for over three-fifths of long-run equity returns (with capital appreciation making up the remainder).
For an active manager, the case for income in Asia is also supported by how the region compares favourably in its share of higher yielding (+4%) stocks in relation to its global market capitalisation weighting (see below).
Corporate governance and the levels of payout ratios in Asian countries also yields a positive correlation; companies with strong governance (in places such as Hong Kong and Singapore) look to create long-term shareholder value, while companies in countries such as Korea – where family-owned "chaebols" dominate – have lagged in this respect, with much lower payouts.
Furthermore, despite the compression we have seen on yields in the bond and money markets, dividend yields on equities remain at around their 10 year pre-financial crisis averages in spite of their potential for dividend growth.
Rate Risk
Although markets are focused on the potential rate rise from the Fed, the crucial factor to watch will be how fast rates rise from there.
In this respect, we think rates will rise gradually and this should make the transition to a normalisation of rates more manageable for income-yielding stocks.
Having said that, we do see some stocks in the more defensive sectors, such as consumer staples, utilities and healthcare, being more at risk from a rising rate environment given many appear relatively fully-valued versus the rest of the market.
Asian context
Although Asian stockmarkets have lagged global markets' returns, this underperformance has come despite Asian companies having a broadly similar earnings profile to their global peers.
While valuations in other markets have seen a rerating upwards, Asian markets have not.
The China story
In part, sentiment remains relatively negative owing to the slowdown being seen in China.
Here, for producers, deflationary forces remain entrenched and are exacerbated by the elevated level of the currency.
Domestic corporate earnings remain under pressure and we are sceptical whether financial engineering will feed through to sustainable growth.
Governments and policymakers are in a better position to deal with any fluctuations in exchange rates.
Furthermore, structural issues such as debt and blatant overcapacity in the system continue to hinder growth.
This backdrop, unsurprisingly, has led us to avoid large parts of the market including a number of the financials there, in particular the banks.
We prefer selective consumer discretionary, telecoms and energy names.
Falling commodity prices
The current global situation – where oil is hovering around $50 a barrel – also favours much of Asia, which is a large net oil importer.
This is particularly beneficial to countries such as India and Indonesia, where inefficient fuel subsidies previously led to large current account deficits.
Falling commodity prices should benefit the region both from a macro perspective and a micro one with falling input costs for companies and improved spending power for the consumer.
Thus far there has been relatively little evidence of an improvement in domestic economic conditions as monetary conditions have remained relatively tight as economies brace themselves for September's possible rate hike.
However, in contrast to the 'taper tantrum' of 2013, though, the region's economies are in better shape to weather the volatility given the general improvement in their external accounts.
In Asia, the overall long term picture for investing in the region remains as strong as ever.
Current account deficits have fallen in countries such as India and Indonesia and most of the debt held by companies are denominated in local currencies; a far cry from the days of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis when Asian companies' succumbed to the weight of US-denominated debt that built up on balance sheets following sharp falls in their currencies at a time when many countries ran substantial current account deficits.
This time, governments and policymakers are in a better position to deal with any fluctuations in exchange rates and spending and to an extent expectations of a rate hike are more widespread now than then were in 2013 when talk of 'tapering' shocked the market.
On the global front export demand from Asia has been subdued versus previous cycles but any pick-up in growth globally will support earnings for Asian companies as the region remains the world's factory.
In aggregate, valuations of Asian markets continue to trail those of the rest of the world reflecting the low expectations for growth in the region versus elsewhere.
Long-term income
Ultimately, investors must remember that companies that create real shareholder value will normally have a supportive shareholder returns policy, often manifesting itself via a favourable dividend policy.
In Asia, the overall long term picture for investing in the region remains as strong as ever.
And in a world where interest rates are still low, and with inflation rates on the cusp of deflation in many of the world's developed economies, investing in dividend stocks offers investors both a relatively attractive income stream and potential for long-term capital appreciation.
As always, we maintain a disciplined bottom-up investment view and continue to look for good companies where we see a strong income case and potential for capital growth.

I Wasn't Able To Locate File For The us.hackulo.appsync40plus Package
The guy at the corner store near my house is always having me do some form of hack on his iPhone or some other random technical project so the other day when I went in to get a pack of smokes it was no surprise that he was asking me about how to upgrade Installous on his iPhone 4. He had Installous version 4 installed but I believe that Installous version 4.1.1 had been released and that is what he wanted to upgrade to. Easy enough however when I attempted to upgrade the package via Cydia it errored out. Below I describe how to get the new Installous installed.

Miyu Sasaki's story was supposed to be about her teaching internship at Lancaster's Discovery Charter School.
But all that changed about 12:46 a.m. Eastern Standard Time last Friday when the 22-year-old Nihon University student's hometown of Sendai, Japan, was virtually leveled by the most powerful earthquake in the country's recorded history.
A city of more than 1 million people, Sendai is the city closest to the epicenter of Friday's 9.0 earthquake.
