We have been told this is our moment
And so we come to the table
With our pent-up agenda,
Eager to load our cafeteria trays,
While the raging, wounded bull
Standing in the doorway
Could be ours for the taking
And all our people could be fed.
It is time to ask ourselves,
Are we progressives for
Sentimental and marketing reasons?
Or do we deeply understand
The world's present predicament
And our opportunity to fix it?
Friends, there are words we need to know
And use openly, fearlessly:
Finance capital, oligarchy,
And revolution.
Progressive means having the undaunted character
To pursue reform through the existing system,
But to be willing and able
When a crisis gives us the chance,
Perhaps once in our lifetimes,
To be revolutionaries and change things utterly.
Revolution could mean a fundamental shift
In the balance of power between the people,
Represented by our democratically-elected government,
And the oligarchy of wealth led by the finance capitalists.
Without it, leaving the oligarchy in place,
Our reforms are at best mild and temporary,
At worst dead on arrival.
With it, the heavy hand of finance capital in check,
The prospects for reform for the rest of us
Are vastly improved.
Sons born after Japan surrendered,
Daughters born after Nixon resigned,
Our country is ready for you
To take this matter in hand.
The finance capitalists:
Also known as Wall Street,
The big banks,
The economic royalists,
The elite of the power elite.
Titans whose money is made
From money itself.
These are the people that Bill Moyers,
Simon Johnson, Dean Baker,
Naomi Klein, and Richard Posner
Have been trying to tell us about.
They sit astride the global business system,
The dominant institution
On the planet
In this century.
They form an oligarchy of wealth
More powerful than any nation
Or government.
They shape the choices and
Dictate the terms that
Mere public servants must follow.
They blackmail us with threats
Of worse financial ruin
If they don't get their way.
Claim to be too big to fail.
Do what they can get away with.
They demand to be protected from
The dynamics of free enterprise and competition,
That would reward honesty and care with success,
Recklessness and fraud with failure.
They have angered the public
On all sides,
With their bailouts and
Bonuses and attitude of
Entitlement to hard-earned
Taxpayer money.
These titans caused this economic meltdown,
Yet expect to remain in charge of the recovery.
They expect — and get —
Supreme deference.
They have committed crimes
For which they should be prosecuted.
They have built a financial sector in our country
Twice as big as it ought to be,
As Kevin Phillips, George Soros, and others have told us.
They are planning, even now,
To re-enrich themselves,
Buy up the devalued assets,
Of those they frightened
Out of the marketplace.
These oligarchs are the largest bloc of donors
To congressional election campaigns.
With the power to block most of the reforms
Obama has proposed for
Student loans,
Foreclosure relief,
Individual bankruptcy,
And anything else that touches their empire.
They "own this place,"
Says Senator Richard Durbin.
They have us hooked on borrowing and spending
On things,
When we should be saving and sustaining
Our spirits.
Today, they are in the news,
Their sins and stupidities
For all to see.
We will learn their dismal science.
Take them on. Pull out all the stops.
Break them up into smaller units,
Under new and stronger anti-trust laws
To curb their monopoly power.
Hold them accountable
To their own stockholders, and
To the republic that gave them life.
Make them prove their drugs aren't toxic
Before they go to market.
Regulate them down to their socks.
Bring them to heel.
Revolution, according to Gary Hart, requires
1. a crisis (yep),
2. a charismatic leader (uh huh), and
3. a manifesto (uh….working on that).
Don't worry, Aunt Betty. It will not mean
A violent overthrow of the government.
We will prove Marx wrong on that.
It will be a peaceful uprising of democratic power
That breaks the grip of the dictatorship of wealth
And lets our freely-elected officials
Govern our republic.
This time, the pitchforks are symbolic.
The anger and commitment is real.
The weapons are the ones we've used
Since Montgomery and Selma,
Since McCarthy in New Hampshire,
Since Watergate,
Since Obama in Iowa.
The revolution will not be televised
as Gil Scott-Heron sang,
(before Al Gore invented the internet).
Don't start it without me
Says Jesse Ventura, surfing,
Living off the grid in Baja.
Revolution is about remaking our social contract
For the twenty-first century.
It is a word many of us
Grew up believing in
And do not fear.
Progressive is not a station on the political dial
Between liberal and conservative,
Left and right, but
A restless voice calling us
To transform our society.
Progressive is not a substitute for the word liberal.
We answer to liberal because we are inclined
To trust in the goodness of human nature.
We differ with the conservative doctrine
That mistrusts and fears the people,
As Jefferson said.
They say, "Sink or swim."
We say, "We are all in this together."
We are liberal, and more.
We are here to resolve the paradoxes of left and right.
We are for the upward movement of bold policies
To resolve old partisan debates
About immigration,
Global warming,
How we get our energy,
Health care,
Progressive taxation,
Foreign affairs,
All of that,
And place our nation on a new footing
With the consent of the governed
And a decent respect for the rest of the world.
A joinder of people of good faith,
Broader than we ever imagined,
Liberals to trust,
Conservatives to verify.
We are linked by history to
Our brave progressive ancestors
At the dawn of the twentieth century,
Who busted the trusts,
Ended child labor,
Enacted the 8-hour day,
Established national parks,
Gave women the right to vote,
And tried to institute a mixed system of government
That the industrial class could not always dominate.
Now, it is our turn to talk and make
Our revolution.
It may escape our grasp, though,
If we do not start to seize it
Before the Dow hits 10,000 again.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
Bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
— Gil Scott-Heron, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

LifeTopix 8, My.Agenda 3 Guided Tour
Team LightArrow is excited about the new updates of LifeTopix 8 and My.Agenda 3. Our new updates include several new features to maximize your productivity at home, at work, and while you're on the go. Keep reading to learn how you can take advantage of the latest features.
New Look
All Lightarrow apps have been redesigned with a new look and a new app icon. LifeTopix has already been updated, and the other apps in the LightArrow family will be released over the next few weeks with the new look. The most significant change is the new flat look of the 12 topics view, as represented by the following image.
Another significant improvement is the new expanding cell. With this change, when you tap on a cell, you're instantly given options for common functions for the item you're managing. For example, as shown in the following image, you're now able to easily access common features for a task, as shown in the "Maintenance" task.
You'll also notice new colors and icons throughout the app, and topic items now inherit topic colors. In addition, lists have been replaced with tiles to make it easier to find and edit information.
Revamped People + Services with New In-App Purchase: Pro Contacts Pack
The Pro.Contacts Pack takes customer relationship management to a new level. This pack adds new functionality to the People + Services topic in LifeTopix and My.Agenda, which allows you to better manage your personal and customer relationships. In addition, we'll soon be introducing this functionality as a stand-alone app, for those who only wish to manage their contacts.
Custom Forms / Fields for Contacts
The following image represents a contact showing custom form fields for Alex Cooper. In this example, the user has added custom fields for her personal training clients. This gives her the ability to record their weight and BMI and to track these statistics over time to measure how her clients are progressing.
The next image shows an example of the custom log form and a list of entries for the Personal Training log form. Keep in mind; these forms are completely user configurable, allowing you to track any stats for friends, customers, prospects, family or other contacts. You can view the stats individually for the contact, by type of stat, or by all contacts.
Associate Tasks, Appointments, Reminders, Notes, and More with Contacts
The Pro.Contacts Pack also allows you to associate tasks, appointments, reminders, notes, files, bookmarks, and expenses with contacts, which makes it easier to manage multiple personal or business relationships. An example is shown below:
Manage Contacts in a Spreadsheet-like Grid View
With the addition of the Pro.Contacts Pack, you can manage multiple attributes for contacts at once with the grid view. You can decide which fields to show and in your specified order via the filter. In addition, you can contact your friends, family, and colleagues directly from this view via phone (iPhone only), email, or text. An example is shown below for a personal trainer who is managing her clients.
Import Multiple Contacts
With the addition of the Pro.Contacts Pack, you can import contacts through a comma separated values (CSV) file. You can email this .csv file to an email address that is accessible from your device and open it directly in your LightArrow app. Specific directions are available in your online help.
Manage Additional Contacts with Extra Contacts Packs
If you wish to manage additional contacts above the default of 100, you can purchase more contacts via the Extra Contacts packs.
Improved iOS Contacts Integrations
The integration with your iOS Contacts has been improved in this version of your LightArrow app. You can now easily import contacts from your iOS contacts or easily link a contact in your app to an iOS contact. Information imported from the iOS contact includes first and last name, Facebook profile info and Twitter handle, birthday, anniversary, email, company, phone numbers, email, company, notes, and address. The following example represents a contact and shows the options for linking/importing from iOS contacts.
Revamped My Inboxes with New In-App Purchase: Pro Inbox Pack
In the 8.0 version of the LightArrow app engine, we've revamped "My Inboxes" to act as a place to harvest information from multiple sources, including Twitter, Facebook, Email, and the Web. This is excellent for researchers and anyone else who wishes to gather information from multiple sources all in one place.
Custom Rules
Through inbox rules, you can create custom rules, which gives you the ability to focus on the information you really want to see. Enter hashtags or keywords for Twitter and narrow the results down to your own tweets, your lists, a particular person, public lists, or all of Twitter. For Facebook, enter keywords and hashtags and narrow the results down to your own timeline, your news feed, a user timeline, or all of Facebook. For the web, enter a search term and narrow the search to a specific URL or website or search the entire web. All of the rules can be saved in a view with easily-accessible tiles, as shown below:
Convert Feed Items With Pro.Inbox In-App Purchase
Whether you're a business person, parent, or student, you're inundated with information from many sources — including email, social media, and the web. Most likely, you're hopping between Twitter, Email, Facebook, and the web to keep up with all of this information. In the new version of your LightArrow app, as you discover and harvest this information from these multiple sources, you can make this information actionable. For example, your supervisor might request that you create a report via email or you might find a webinar mentioned on Twitter that you want to attend. You can convert these actionable items from web, email, or social channels into items you can take action on such as: tasks, notes, events, projects, trips, visitors, or products. For example, you can convert the webinar invitation found on Twitter into an event in just a few simple taps – no app switching is required.
In addition, if you're a follower of the Getting Things Done® (GTD®) method, My Inboxes assists you in your implementation of the inbox. In GTD, an inbox is "simply the place where all the incoming things land." Being able to record your ideas easily in a reliable system for later analysis represents the Collections phase of the GTD methodology. Converting these items to actionable items also helps you to achieve "inbox zero." The following image shows an example of an email converted to a task:
Save Links from Email or Social Media to Bookmarks
While you're in the process of converting your email or social media messages to actionable items, you have the choice to convert the links in those messages to bookmarks. Bookmarks can be managed in the Bookmarks + Lockers topic and associated with many items in your LightArrow app. An example is shown below.
Manage More Rules with Rule Packs
If you wish to manage more than the default 10 rules, you can purchase Extra Inbox rules, up to 100.
Goal Management
The Health + Goals topic (previously Health + Activity) now has the addition of goal management. Goals are items you wish to reach, such as buying a new house, losing 10 pounds, getting in shape, or learning a new skill. You can log metrics for goals and view your progress in a graphical format.
From the Health + Goals topic, there are several aspects of goals that you can manage. You can log your goal progress and show totals or averages for designated time periods and subsequently view the progress in a list or graph. Several values are provided, such as units (pounds, minutes, day, %, and more); target values; and default values. In addition, you can associate items such as tasks, reminders, appointments, etc. to goal metrics for reminders or other reference materials.
The following example shows a goal of going on vacation. This user wishes to include a workout routine to get in shape for the trip and a log of saved money to reach her goal. Both of these aspects of the goal can be measured in one log form.
The Bookmarks + Lockers topic now has lockers for securely storing secret information, such as text, photos, and audio. Lockers allow you to save secret information for any information you wish to secure. Lockers support securing of text, photos, and audio. Common uses include storing photos of credit cards, photos of passports, photos of secret receipts, sensitive audio files, and PINs. You must enter a PIN to reveal your secret data. You can feel secure because your LightArrow app uses military grade 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The following image shows a list of Lockers and the resulting view after you've entered the PIN to reveal a group of Locker Items inside a locker.
AES 256-bit Encryption Added to Sensitive Data Fields
Military Grade 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption has been added to sensitive data fields. This applies to PINs and account numbers in bank account detail, as well as for storing the password lock and secret question answers.
Near Me Improvements
The Near Me view gives you one-tap access to a view of your LightArrow app items that are in the vicinity of your current location. In other words, if you set a location for assets, appointments, audio, contacts, events, notes, photos, shopping items, service providers, tasks, trips, or video you can view these items on the map in the Near Me view, which helps you plan your day — especially if you're running errands or visiting clients. You'll notice that the Near Me view has a new look, as shown in the following image.
The Near Me view is now powered by foursquare®, which allows you to search for arts & entertainment, events, food, shops, and other types of business near you. If these businesses are businesses that you frequently use, you can convert them to Places, Sellers, Banks, or Service Providers in your LightArrow app directly from the Near Me view. In addition, you can now relocate the area you wish to view by simply dragging the pin to the new area. The following image shows an example of this view, with the pin moved to Yosemite.
Simplified and Merged Search + Quick View Interface
The Quick View interface and the Search interface have now been combined to allow you to quickly and easily find and view items. You can search for an item by typing any text (all text blocks are searched) in the Search bar or you can view items by their type of topic or by data item, simply by tapping an item type in the Data Items section or a topic item in the Topic Items section. The following image shows an example of the new combined view.
Color Support by Context Tag
Context Tags Now include color support to help you better identify items that are tagged. The following image shows an example of tasks that are flagged with context tags and the view which allows you to set context tags.
Copy to Folder for Files
You're now able to copy files and move them from local folders to online services or from one online service to another. The following image shows an example:
Copying Projects Now Includes Tasks
Previously, when you copied a project, only the project was duplicated (without the associated tasks). Now when you copy a project, it includes all associated tasks.
Managing Prescriptions for Medications
In the Health + Goals topic, you can now manage prescriptions for medications. You can record the prescription number, expiration date, count, remaining pills or other unit, pharmacist, and doctor. For these prescriptions, you can log when the medication is administered. The following screenshots show an example of prescription management.
Optionally Specify iOS Calendar by Item
You can now optionally specify the calendar where you wish to push a specific LightArrow app item for many types of items. For example, if you want "work items" to appear on a work calendar, "home items" to appear on a home calendar, or certain items to appear on a shared calendar, you can specify this by item. The following image shows where you can take advantage of this option for a task.
Print Improvements
When you print items, a print time is now included in the footer and the LightArrow logo has been omitted.
New Default Date Types
You can specify the default date type (Date+Time or Date Only) for many types of objects. For example, when you create an object, such as a bill payment, you can specify date only to be indicated as opposed to a date and time. The types of objects that support this setting are appointments, bills, events, notes, projects, checklists, inbox items, services, shopping items, shopping lists, trips, tasks, and visitors.
Online Help
New, contextual online help has been added for your LightArrow app.
Additional Improvements
This post focuses on the most significant changes. You will notice smaller additions and defect fixes throughout the app.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Liquid nitrogen ice cream may put steam into summer
No one's projecting that liquid nitrogen ice cream will be the next frozen yogurt, but the instant ice cream trend is picking up steam.
If the summer of 2013 is remembered for anything, it may be the hazy summer when the ice cream business went up in smoke.
That's smoke, as in liquid nitrogen — the cold-as-heck steamy stuff used by a sudden spurt of ice cream parlors to make and instantly freeze ice cream right in front the eyes of gawking customers. Folks are often amazed to watch the wave of steam that rises when the super-cold, liquid nitrogen gas hits the liquid ice cream base — and the almost instantaneous freezing of the liquid into a solid.
It might never get as big as the frozen yogurt craze or as popular as the mix-in mania of recent years, but the $10 billion ice cream industry has its frigid eyes on a handful-and-a-half of entrepreneurs who have recently opened several dozen liquid nitrogen ice cream eateries from Los Angeles to Boston.
"This is the next thing in ice cream," says Darryl David, an ice cream consultant, who advises entrepreneurial businesses. "It's a totally different way to attract consumers."
Dippin' Dots has used the gas since 1988 to sell extra-cold, pre-made ice cream. To appeal to the calorie-conscious, it just rolled out 100-calorie YoDots, says president Scott Fischer. But the latest trend may be moving beyond what Dippin' Dots created, to those that make and freeze the ice cream right in front of customers.
One of the newest such ice cream stops is Ice Cream Lab, which opened in mid-March in Beverly Hills. Its 25-year-old co-founder, Joseph Lifschutz, says consumers not only get a kick out of watching the ice cream being made on the spot, but in an age of better-for-you eating, they like that it contains no preservatives, additives or emulsifiers. "There's no shelf life to anything we're selling in this store," he boasts.
His best-seller: Salt Lick Crunch — which combines caramel sauce and pretzels into a mixture that becomes vanilla ice cream. Among his celebrity guests; Larry King, Jay Leno, Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff.
Perhaps the biggest in the business is Sub Zero, the 10-year-old chain with 25 locations in nine states. Founder Jerry Hancock says he's planning to add 144 more in Texas and 120 more in Southern California over the next decade.
"We focus on the show," he says. "Lighting is a big thing, so we light up the fog so you can see the nitrogen going into the ice cream," he says.
On a much smaller scale, there's Smitten Ice Cream, which was launched atop a Radio Flyer wagon in the streets of San Francisco in 2009. Today, Smitten has one San Francisco storefront, with two more set to open later this year, says owner Robyn Sue Fisher, a self-professed ice cream fanatic.
Smitten's best-seller: Fresh Mint Chip "because we use fresh spearmint (not an extract) and local dark chocolate," says Fisher.
Its weirdest flavor? Fisher answers that question with a question. "Rhubarb Crisp, anyone?"

Marriage is a wonderful gift and a powerful way to love and give witness to Christ in the world. During this engaged period, Campus Ministry invites you to participate in marriage formation, which will help you live out this vocation with hearts striving to be a couple for others.
While Campus Ministrys marriage formation process is specifically geared towards couples interested in being married in the Catholic Church, couples being married in other faith traditions and contexts may also benefit from taking part in this preparation. Whether you hope to get married locally or somewhere else, Campus Ministry is here to help. For more information or to start the engaged formation process, please contact Steve Blaha at (414) 288-3686.
Below you will find a brief overview of the major components of our marriage preparation process. Our staff can help provide additional resources based upon the needs of individual couples.
1. Initial Interview:
During this session, you and your fiancé(e) will meet with a Campus Ministry staff member who will help walk you through the engaged formation process. Campus Ministry will officially begin your marriage preparation file at this point. You will also spend some time exploring:
2. FOCCUS Pre-Marital Inventory:
Taking the FOCCUS Inventory is oftentimes a highlight for couples during their engagement period. The inventory helps engaged couples improve their appreciation and understanding of one another, identifies areas for increased communication and skill building, and offers the helpful wisdom and insights of a seasoned married couple.
(FOCCUS Inventory: 2-3 one hour sessions with a married couple at their home.)
3. Couples Retreat:
Being engaged can be a lot of work – wedding planning, future career planning, honeymoon travel plans, family logistics, you name it. Taking time for a retreat experience will help you stay in tune with yourself, one another, and the movement of God in your lives. The retreat offers a sacred time and space, away from distractions, to help you discern to what God is inviting you as a couple.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee provides three retreat options: 1) Catholic Engaged Encounter Retreat Weekend, 2) Marriage Preparation Day, and 3) Marriage Preparation Conference. For more information or to sign up, please visit the Marriage & Family Life Office.
4. Conversations on Marriage:
Engagement is a time to relish. While it is a period filled with discernment, expectation, and planning, this stage in life offers couples the opportunity to consciously build strong foundations. Making time amidst class and work schedules to talk about topics relating to marriage creates room for you love to grow and develop.
Because the wedding liturgy offers a lifetime of inspiration and encouragement for spouses, our process invites couples to prepare a celebration that will help shape their vocation and life together.

Laws forcing suppliers of IT equipment to dispose of it free of charge in an environmentally sound manner have come into force in the UK. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive of the European Commission became law in the UK on 2nd January. It was originally intended to be transposed into all European laws by August 2004 but was delayed several times.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 take immediate effect, but state that suppliers do not have to take full responsibility for the disposal of goods until 1st July this year.
The law forces manufacturers to recycle and dispose of used equipment in an attempt to stem the harm that is caused by the dumping of used technological materials.
With a high rate of turnover of machines as businesses attempt to keep up with a constant upgrade cycle, the Directive could make a major impact on the environmental impact of using hardware.
The Directive could also push up hardware prices, though, as manufacturers seek to recover the costs of recycling and environmental disposal on such a massive industrial scale.
The Directive could also have implications for users of equipment. Though penalties are attached to suppliers of hardware, their users share some of the responsibility for equipment disposal. A recent survey found that almost 75% of IT staff were unaware of their own duties under WEEE.
There is no definitive list of exactly what equipment is affected by the Directive. The DTI says that it cannot issue a list, and that only the European Court of Justice can provide definitive rulings on exactly what equipment is covered. Those are: large household appliances; small household appliances; IT & telecommunications equipment; consumer equipment; lighting equipment; electrical and electronic tools; toys, leisure and sports equipment; medical devices; monitoring and control instruments, and automatic dispensers.
Manufacturers are now tied to a strict timetable. They must join a producer compliance scheme by March of this year, and must fully comply with all rules by April if they are handling hazardous WEEE. Others must obey all disposal rules by July.
One research consultancy, Gartner, has estimated that the new law could eventually add up to £60 to the price of computers as manufacturers recover the extra costs from users.

A look at this week's retail notebook
Susan Turner is looking to feed some hungry mouths breakfast � for dinner.
She and her brother, Steve Lovick, own Lovick�s Caf� at 320 N. Herritage St. They tried the idea a couple of years ago, but when Turner became ill, she stopped. Now, she�s started it up again serving breakfast on Monday nights.
�I just decided to try it again to see if it would pan out,� she said, �and it�s done good.�
The Broadway family of Kinston agree that it�s a good idea. There were several members of their family having breakfast Monday night.
Murrell Broadway said he�s been eating at Lovick�s for years.
�I just like breakfast food,� he said.
Michael Broadway said breakfast is a comfort food � and it was perfect for a rainy evening like Monday was.
Joan Broadway doesn�t want a big meal in the morning.
�It just seems nice to be able to have breakfast at night,� she said.
Glenn Potter of Kinston said his favorite breakfast foods are eggs and sausage. His wife often makes breakfast for dinner when no one in the family can decide what to eat, he said.
Jimmy Capps of Kinston has been coming to Lovick�s since he was 5 years old and enjoys the food, especially the country sausage, and meeting with friends.
�(Breakfast is) a very nutritious meal to have for the evening,� he said.
Turner said Monday is a good day to have an extended day after Sunday�s day of rest. The restaurant normally serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday.
Along with the traditional breakfast menu, they serve soup, salad and baked spaghetti.
�We sell a lot of pancakes,� Turner said.
Those pancakes are made from scratch. Pork chops and eggs are best sellers, too.
Turner takes pride in her food presentation.
�I like to put out a pretty plate,� she said.
Lovick�s is open for dine-in, call-in and take-out 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturdays, as well as 5-7:30 p.m. Mondays for breakfast. For information, call 252-523-6854.
Hammer Out CrossFit is holding a grand opening 1-9 p.m. Sunday at Fairfield Plaza on West Vernon Avenue, next to Blockbuster.
CrossFit, with a popularity that has swept across the nation, not only provides a fitness training program for law enforcement, fire departments, military and school athletes, but for folks who just want to get fit, as well.
Kinston residents Jeremiah Hilterbrand, a fitness trainer, and Kay Oakes Boykin, a nurse, are opening the Kinston business. Kay Taylor, a nurse and Boykin�s sister, will be assisting them.
Hilterbrand, 25, started working out during a two-year stint in the U.S. Marine Corp. At some point, the success of his workouts seemed to diminish, so he began researching what he could be doing wrong.
�I ended up finding out the right way to work out,� he said. His positive results had people coming to him asking him to train them.
Hilterbrand became certified through AFPA in Wilmington and Rush Fitness Center in Ashville. He moved back to Kinston and began working at Galaxy of Sports.
After becoming manager and seeing CrossFit on ESPN, he decided to open a CrossFit center.
�I wanted to bring something new that (other sport centers) weren�t offering,� he said.
CrossFit gives a varied workout to all the muscle groups and participants age 14 and up compete against themselves to improve their fitness level.
�There�s so many different movements,� Hilterbrand said, �that you have to use every single muscle that you have.�
Yet, the program is scaled to a person�s ability. Hilterbrand said he is currently training an 87-year-old woman, according to her ability. He also trained Boykin.
Boykin and Taylor plan to operate a nonprofit arm of CrossFit called The Mighty Hammers in January. This program will target obese and high-risk children.
Beginning next week, Hammer Out CrossFit will be open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 7 p.m. Sundays. Hours are subject to change. For more information, call 252-208-1605.
North Carolina Weekend on UNC-TV will be showing a segment featuring Morris Barbecue in Hookerton. The program will air 8:30 p.m. tonight and 10 a.m. Saturday. It will also appear on UNC-TV�s Explorer Channel at 10 p.m. tonight, and 12 a.m. and 8 a.m. Saturday.

Now, in this tutorial I have tried explaining how to configure Reliance Netconnect on Ubuntu 9.04(though with slight modifications you should be able to configure Reliance Netconnect on any Linux distro by following these steps).
Installing wvdial
wvdial is dialer that allows you to connect to internet through a modem establishing a point to point link. Now for some strange reason( or perhaps because few people actually use dial up based internet connection) wvdial is not bundled with Ubuntu 9.04.
If you have access to internet, you can install wvdial by issuing this command in the terminal window:
sudo apt-get install wvdialHowever, if you don't have access to internet on the machine you want to configure Reliance Netconnect on, download these packages from machine that has access to internet and install them by issuing the following command.
1. http://
2. http://
3. http://
4. http://
5. http://
or you could download a zip file containing all these packages (has been hosted by some user , so download at your own risk) from this site.
Put all these packages in a folder (or extract the zip file , if you happen to download zip file instead) and issue the following command in that directory to install.
sudo dpkg -i *
Configuring wvdial
Now , we need to configure wvdial to connect to Reliance Netconnect; to do so open gedit or any other editor you like and modify the wvdial.conf file.
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.confit should have default settings and section, don't modify them and instead add the following section:
[Dialer Defaults]Replace your Phone number with your actual phone number , like 93102xxxx for me and save the configuration file.
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
[Dialer netconnect]
Username = ( Add your Phone Number here)
Password = ( Add your phone number here)
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
Now, once you are done configuring wvdial, connect by issuing the following command:
sudo wvdial netconnect and wait for pppd to start, once connection has been successful you should see local ip address , remote IP address and address of DNS servers on the screen. To disconnect , press Ctrl+C in the terminal window where you had connected.

The WSJ has a story on what goes into the price of a shirt that shows why so many of the current batch of hot apparel ecommerce companies (e.g. Shoedazzle*, Bonobos*, J Hilburn, Warby Parker, IndoChino etc) are vertically integrated. The retail value chain has a significant markup built into both the wholesale and retail channel as can be seen here.
Vertically integrated companies can take a lot of the costs out of the system and provide a much more compelling value to the consumer while still making an attractive margin.

Building a show setup is always a challenge. There are so many ways to plumb a hydraulic setup. The combinations are different for every car and depend on the needs of your vehicle. This particular setup from Black Magic Hydraulics was designed to have a retro look. It was looking good when it was out of the car, but once it was dropped in, the builders had to scramble and adapt the setup to go with the flow.
This is where Wild Child Customs came in. Pressed for time, the builders asked if Wild Child could lend a helping hand. We were glad to jump on the setup as we haven't really featured anything like this before. The setup was plumbed to work with the car and minor adjustments were made.
The owner had already created a custom tank and provided most of the boss fittings. The rack was also already made. We checked for clearances and to see how much room was left for the car. Once it was all dialed in, we began to bend the tubing, and this setup happened in a few hours. Now follow along as Wild Child Customs assembles and plumbs this Black Magic old school setup.

European Commission - Press release
State aid: Commission consults on future film support rules
Brussels, 14 March 2012 - The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the state aid criteria it proposes to use to assess Member States' film support schemes in future. The criteria are set out in a draft Communication, on which the Commission invites comments by 14 June 2012. The final Communication is due to be adopted by the Commission in the second half of 2012.
Joaquín Almunia, Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy, commented: "Today's draft Communication aims to provide a workable instrument which is beneficial both for the entire European audiovisual sector and for European audiences. It builds on the input we received from the first round of public consultation and from exchanges of views with Member States and other interested parties. I look forward to interesting feedback on our proposals."
This is the second and final consultation in the process of reviewing the current state aid assessment criteria, which are due to expire by 31 December 2012 at the latest. The draft Communication is intended to create a level playing field between Member States and to encourage cross-border productions, taking advantage of the internal market rules. It should ensure that European audiences are offered a more culturally diverse choice of audiovisual works.
Three main changes are proposed in the draft Communication:
See also MEMO/12/186 for questions and answers on the review.
The draft Cinema Communication and other information about the public consultation are published at
Comments should be sent by 14 June 2012 to: firstname.lastname@example.com
EU Member States provide an estimated €3 billion per year in film support: €2 billion in grants and soft loans and €1 billion in tax incentives. Around 80% of this is for film production. France, the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain offer the majority of this financial support.
The Commission currently assesses aid for film production according to the state aid rules indicated in the 2001 Cinema Communication (IP/01/1326), which is based on Article 107.3(d) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, which allows aid of a cultural character provided that it does not adversely affect competition and trade between Member States.
The draft Communication draws from the issues paper published by the Commission on 20 June 2011 (IP/11/757) and the contributions received during the first consultation.

Chris Canty was back in Charlotte this week to his his football camp, but was hoping this offseason it might have been a longer stay.
Canty told Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer that he talked to Panthers General Manager Dave Gettleman about joining his hometown team, but was told there weren't sufficient funds.
"They needed a lot of players. I think the direction they wanted to go was to get as many quality players as they could at a bargain price," Canty said. "Quite frankly, I wasn't going to be able to come in and play for what they would have liked, what they could have afforded."
Canty eventually signed a three-year, $8 million deal with the Ravens.
The Panthers re-signed their own defensive tackle Dwan Edwards to a two-year, $3.6 million deal, plucked Colin Cole off the scrap heap for the minimum, and used their top two draft picks on Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short.
As much as Canty would have helped, investing the draft picks gives the Panthers a chance to make a long-term improvement to the line, coupled with a strong group of pass-rushers. That enabled them to aim a little lower for help in the middle in terms of free agents.

It�s been a rough year for ethanol, the alternative fuel that was once touted as having great promise in soothing America�s demand for foreign oil.
It�s been a rough year for ethanol, the alternative fuel that was once touted as having great promise in soothing America�s demand for foreign oil.
But like many other �green� fuels that have been touted, ethanol has had trouble with sustainability. Indeed, it has had trouble with market liftoff.
If the federal government did not mandate that retail gasoline sold at the pumps contain ethanol, one wonders how much ethanol would be produced in the United States.
What is known is that many attempts to expand production of ethanol are failing. Earlier this year, Range Fuels sold for $5.1 million a plant that federal and Georgia taxpayers had pumped $70 million into. The plan, unveiled in 2007, was to turn some of Georgia�s wood into ethanol.
Range went bankrupt in 2011. About $64 million of federal funds went up in smoke, so to speak.
More recently, in late October, BP Oil pulled the plug on a $300 million ethanol plant in Florida. The plant � announced in 2008 � was to produce 36 million gallons of ethanol per year, according to the News Service of Florida. The research part of the plant will remain open but that is small comfort to a Florida county that has 9.2 percent unemployment and was hoping for 200 jobs to run the plant and grow the crops.
Ethanol will still be used in gasoline, of course. Its mandated use has been a huge subsidy for farmers, who like how the increased demand for corn drives up prices. But not everyone is happy about the effect that has on food and feed prices.
In 2008, during several commodity bubbles, prices for corn and oil soared at the same time. It soon became expensive for consumers from Mexico to Kansas to Canada to buy food. The U.S. policy of plowing many of our food-farming acres into fuel-farming acres causes higher prices for a variety of food, from corn to meat.
In 2011, according to the Renewable Fuels Association, the U.S. set a record in production for ethanol, with an estimated 13.9 billion gallons of ethanol made by 209 ethanol biorefineries located in 29 states. As in 2008, higher costs have again arrived for corn-related products.
Yet even with the federal requirement to mix ethanol into gasoline, it has become clear that the U.S. market itself doesn�t think too highly of ethanol and sees better, easier opportunities in fuels such as natural gas.
It should be noted that even with huge federal subsidies, many �green� energy companies have failed even to stay open. So it�s time for federal policymakers, including President Barack Obama, to get the message: Stop the subsidies to green energy. Let the market work things out.
At the very least, cutting back on ethanol subsidies may lead to cheaper food for consumers, in the United States and worldwide.

People are voting for Google to offer HTML5/Ogg video support on YouTube, in Google's own product ideas voting space.
This piece of Ogg activism is getting some traffic on identi.ca and Twitter right now. If you haven't already, you should jump in.
YouTube is, obviously, the largest source of videos in the world by far, so keeping pressure on Google to support web standards and free formats (over proprietary formats like Flash) is really important.
Google has closed the window on HTML5 feedback, saying that peoples' voices have been heard. However, notably absent is any mention of Ogg. Google leaving Ogg out of the picture here makes sense, because it would be very easy for them to offer HTML5/h264 videos that play in Chrome and Safari, while still excluding free formats and users of free browsers like Firefox and Icecat.
It also means that, from our point of view anyway, votes for Ogg Theora support are still welcome. PlayOgg can play an important role here by stressing free formats.
If you don't already have a Google account, please don't let this encourage you to make one. You can call YouTube at 650-253-0000 and make the same request there.
Make your voice heard! And tell a friend.

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
In The Mary McLeod Bethune Council House: African American Women Unite for Change students learn how Mary McLeod Bethune and the National Council of Negro Women promoted political and social change for African Americans. The following activities will help students delve further into aspects of African American and women's history.
Activity 1: The National Council of Negro Women Today
As an alternative, some students might want to conduct further research on Dorothy Height and the activities of NCNW during her presidency (1957-1998).
Activity 2: Taking a Stand
Activity 3: Women in National Politics
Activity 4: Honoring African Americans and Women in the Local Community

[media-credit name="(Guinness Book of World Records)" align="alignnone" width="495″][/media-credit]
We already know the Front Range is fast becoming a retro gamer's paradise, between our esteemed barcades the 1Up and 2Up (which played host to the most recent Kong Off world championship) and the relocation of the Twin Galaxies score-keeping organization to our fair environs.
But Guinness World Records confirmed this week that we've also got some of the hardest-core fans around. Colorado's own Brett Martin has been named as the owner of the Largest Collection of Video Game Memorabilia in the world in the "Guinness World Records 2013 Gamer's Edition," out this week.
The 31-year-old web designer boasts a collection of 8,030 pieces of gaming-related merchandise in his collection, which is estimated at $100,000. From Super Mario Bros. toys (he got his first one in 1989 when he was 8 years old) to Mega Man, Pac-Man and Pokemon, Martin's decidedly retro collection quickly grew from a single spot to an entire room in his house.

Last Wednesday was my one year anniversary here at Foxy. Since I've been blogging for a decade, I usually find bloggers celebrating their anniversaries to be adorable. I'm like the lady who stopped counting her age watching her children proudly declare their age to the exact fraction. I feel old.
I can't remember if I've ever written about it here, but on my other blog I talk regularly about my living with Bipolar II disorder and the changes I've had to make to my life to manage it. One of the major changes was installing an emergency break in my head. Now I realize I don't have the luxury of coasting gently to a stop when my speed gets away from me. I have to drop everything and yank that break with all my might so I don't crash.
I've decided that Foxy has to be a casualty of my emergency break use.
It seems fitting to end this as an anniversary celebration. It is somehow now a year long creative experiment instead of something I'm giving up on. And I saw so so many benefits to this experiment. So many benefits that I won't be giving up on it entirely, I'll just be bringing the outfit posts back to Reese Dixon where they started as part of Project Put Together. I'll still post at least a couple a month. I just have to cry uncle and admit that I'm not giving this the attention it really would require to succeed as a blog on its own and I have to sacrifice it for the good of everything else I want to do.
As I was looking back through my posts to choose the outfits I really loved, or the pictures that made me feel great, I was so so grateful I did this. I wish every woman could do this for a year. Not only did the time and attention to how I present myself help me to rediscover myself, but believe it or not, this little style blog really helped me to conquer some appearance issues. Appearance issues that Every. Single. Woman. has. Probably every single person. As a not-thin person there have been times I've seen pictures of myself and I cried. As a person who is now 34 there have been times when I looked at myself in the mirror and only saw changes that made me unhappy. This project changed all that, but not in the ways you might expect.
I didn't suddenly stop seeing the things about myself that I wasn't such a fan of. I just started to see them in context. By taking the pictures, processing the pictures, posting the pictures, I seemed to be putting myself through a kind of immersion therapy. I was seeing images of myself so much, some horribly unflattering ones that I deleted immediately and some that made me feel great, I kind of just, got used to how I looked. And then I started seeing things in a different way. I still have feelings about my stomach, but now those feelings are countered by great feelings I have too. Including being aware of the physical difference that comes over me when I feel confident. Those early pictures are shocking to me in their difference from the most recent. And all because I learned what a huge difference it makes to be thoughtful in how I carry and present myself.
Which was really what this experiment was all about. As a feminist and a social justice advocate, I have always had very complicated feelings towards fashion and consumerism and female objectification. My intention in all this was to put some thought into how I portrayed myself, and what do you know, I became my own best convert.
As I mentioned, I'll still be posting outfit posts on ReeseDixon.com. Thank you for being in this experiment with me.

large - 7.5 cm x 19 cm / 3 in x 7.5 in
These pieces wear their history like all vintage pieces which only adds to their story. These bottles are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Orders cannot be shipped until payment has cleared.
I ship within France and internationally through the French post office, La Poste.
Due to the unique size and weight of each object, it can be difficult to estimate the cost of all possible shipping combinations. If you have a question about the shipping cost presented for your cart, contact me with the items you are interested in and I will calculate the specific shipping cost for that order.
In the eventuality that upon shipment true shipping cost is less than that presented to you at check out, I will notify you and issue a refund for the difference.
I make every effort to keep shipping costs as low as possible. If you are interested in shipping upgrades, please contact me.

I make every effort to describe each piece accurately both through the photos and the listing description. Never hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Q. What is a 'brocante'?
A. 'Brocante' is the French word for a flea and antiques market. I discovered the joy of them more than 10 years ago when I came to visit my now husband for the first time in his native France. And I love them just as much today as that first visit all those years ago!
Q. Will you search the French brocantes for a specific piece/type of item for me?
A. I'd be happy to! Feel free to reach out if you are looking for something specific. Although, because of the very nature of vintage brocantes and flea markets, I can never guarantee when or if I will find an item, I'm always happy to look and keep a running list of customer requests.
Q. Can you reserve an item for me?
A. Yes. Contact me with the item(s) you are interested in, and what your time frame is, and I can put a reserve on them for you. I ask that you make your purchase within the month on reserved items. A reserve is non-bidding. Simply send me a message to cancel.
This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
Information I Collect
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you're ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a reserved or custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
- if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
- Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
- Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
- Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
- Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
- Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
- Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
- Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
How to Contact Me
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Abigail LaBranche, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternately, you may mail me at:

Valentine's Day Cards 2012 : Top 50 Cards to share your feelings
Curious about the history behind the tradition of sending Valentine's Day 2012 cards? Although it might seem like a modern phenomenon, people have actually been exchanging Valentine's Day greeting cards for almost as long as they have been falling in love. Valentine's Day cards have been a staple of the winter holiday for centuries, with well known verses like, "Roses are red, violets are blue…" dating back as far as the late sixteenth century. Even in Shakespeare's time, Valentine's Day was a chance to send a heartfelt note to that special someone. The famous poet wrote about it himself!
As the years passed and printing presses came into use, people continued to send Valentine's Day cards with a little extra help from the modern technology of the day. Readily available cards, postcards and prints combined with the reduced cost of mailing Valentine's Day 2012 greeting cards suddenly made it possible for people to send more cards than ever before. Nineteenth century postage fees were so low, in fact, that people were even empowered to send anonymous Valentine's Day cards as well, giving rise to the ever-so-sweet idea of a secret admirer.
For a while after this round of innovation, Valentine's Day card shoppers only had two options. They were forced to choose between mass-produced greeting cards sold in stores and the painstaking process of creating their own. Luckily, new technology has once again changed the industry, and now the days of sending generic Valentine's Day greeting cards are numbered.
Today, handmade Valentine's Day cards aren't quite as popular as their printed counterparts, but at Tiny Prints you can still add a personal touch to every Valentine's Day greeting card you send. It might not include lace, ribbons or a macaroni necklace, but you can add your own photos, text and verses to our collection of charming Valentine's Day cards and greeting cards for an extra-special way to send your love on this fun and time-honored holiday.
So if you're looking for a way to pay homage to the longstanding history of personalized Valentine's Day 2012 greeting cards without breaking out the paper and scissors yourself, check out our adorable collection today. We offer fresh designs for families, couples and singles alike, along with cute Valentine's Day cards for kids. These mini-cards are smaller than our other offerings, making them perfect for handing out at school, in dance class, at sports practice or even around the neighborhood.
Valentine's Day photo cards are becoming increasingly popular with many stationery enthusiasts today. Wherever you choose to take your photo for your Valentine's Day card, make sure you all look happy and in love by eliciting genuine smiles and giggles from each individual in your photo. These warm moments will make for the perfect picture to accompany your special greetings!
Start shopping now to find the right Valentine's Day greeting cards to help you spread the love this winter. After all, not everyone likes chocolates, roses, kisses and cupcakes, but everyone loves to get a customized Valentine's Day card in the mail!
Valentine's Day 2012 or Valentines Day 2012?
One of the most common mistakes we see each February surrounds the phrase "Valentine's cards." So in case you're wondering, we're here to let you know once and for all whether "Valentine cards," "Valentines Day cards" or any number of alternative spellings are most accurate.
Although we commonly see "Valentine card" or "Valentines Day card," in fact neither of these spellings is correct. Valentine's Day is a possessive phrase shortened from Saint Valentine's Day, and therefore any phrase used to describe something related to Valentine's Day should reflect a similar structure. As a result, instead of "Valentines Day cards" or "Valentine cards," the proper spelling is "Valentine's Day cards. We're only willing to let the rule slide in the case of children handing out "valentines" to their friends and classmates.
We hope that helps clear things up. Here's to a fun February filled with plenty of Valentine's Day cards (with nary a "Valentine card" or "Valentines Day card" in sight!).
