Senate Passes INEC 2019 Election Budget
Today, the Nigerian Senate passed the sum of N234 billion for the Independent National Electoral Commission in the 2018 budget. The provision includes the N189 billion requested by INEC to conduct the 2019 general elections, and N45 billion provided for the commission under a statutory transfer.
The Senate's approval mandates that N189 billion be sourced from the Special Intervention Programme captured in the Service Wide Vote of the 2018 Appropriation Act through virement.
The Report of the budget was presented by Senator Danjuma Goje who chairs the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and co-sponsored by Senator John Owan Enoh, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee.
"I want to thank all those who held a series of meetings with the parties involved in order to make this a possibility," said the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, who then went on to announce that members of the Committee on Appropriation and Finance would be excused from plenary — due to their meeting with representatives of security agencies.

Osisioma Pipeline Fire: Obiano Calls For Proactive Measures To Preserve Sanctity Of Life
By JAMES EZE
Governor Willie Obiano has called for precautionary measures to
preserve the sanctity of human life.
The Governor made the call while reacting to the fire incident along the Osisioma axis near the NNPC depot in Aba, Abia State, which claimed many lives and destroyed property worth millions of naira.
The Governor in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Mr James Eze, while commiserating with his counterpart in Abia State Dr
Okezie Ikpeazu and entire people of the State, regretted the untimely
loss of many lives mostly youths at a time when life needs to be better nurtured and preserved.
Governor Obiano who stressed the need for the sanctity of human life to be maintained, through conscious efforts, urged the citizenry to avoid acts capable of undermining the sustenance of life.
The Governor while praying for the repose of the souls of the departed sent his condolences to the bereaved families, praying God to give them the fortitude to overcome the trauma of the tragic incident.
Chinua Achebe : There was a Country- A Review
There was a country is just another literary paragon that Achebe brings forth, a powerful recount of history, culture, war and nationalism. To summarise, the book is a historical satire of Nigeria and Biafra, a personal and first hand chronicle of his experience before and during the Nigerian civil war of 1967–1970, and how Nigeria unfolded from an Imperial colony, to an optimistic Independent nation and its aftermath decline into a war stricken zone (which constitutes the bulk of the book) and his personal experiences during this period. He narrates almost angrily and sentimentally on the Biafran War, on not only the genocidal atrocities and war crimes but also tries to capture the Image of what Nigeria used to be like before Independence and what it is now- a failed, corrupt, mediocre, ethnically bigoted and politically inept state.
PART 1: The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 starts on a comedic note, talking about his family, education, youth and "magical years" and how things used to be back-in-a-day. He writes of how he grappled with culture, religion and colonialism. There is a particular expression that Chinua tells about him coming to terms with western religion during his youth:
"I often had periods of oscillating faith as I grew older, periods of doubt when I quietly pondered and deeply questioned the absolutist teachings or the interpretations of religion. I struggled with the certitude of Christianity- I am the way, the truthand the life"- not its accuracy, because as a writer one understands that there should be such latitude, but the desolation, the acerbity of its meaning, the lack of options for the outsider, the other. I believe that this question has subconsciously influenced my writing"
However, Achebe also recounts on his academic years and a reader can see how intelligent and bright a student Achebe was from his primary school days even to University college, Ibadan. He studied alongside prominent academia like Chike Momah, Flora Nwapa, Mabel Segun and Elechi Amadi amongst others and the alma mater also produced great scholars like Wole Soyinka, J.P Clark and J. C Echeruo. Talk about Alumni…
After securing a good job at a broadcasting company, meeting his life partner and publishing things fall apart, he then narrates the trail of Nigeria getting its independence, to the dark days- the times of ethnic tension and resentment. The story gradually begins to darken with events like the 1966 military coup and the countercoup and assassinations that followed, the pogroms and mass killings of the Igbos in the north, the Aburi accord and the declaration of the Biafra War, the beginning of the Nightmare.
PART 2: According to the writer, the final provocation for the Biafran war was entirely a function of an Injustice committed by the Northerners against the Igbos by the widespread butchering of thousands of Igbo in the north as a response to the assassination of the highly revered Northern leader Sir Ahmadu Bello by Major General Kaduna Nzeogwu(The Hyena) when he seized power as military head of state in the 1966 coup. Even before this, there had been increased and heated tensions between these two ethnic groups and it had finally reached its tipping point. The Nigerians felt that the Igbos had a bloodlust for power as many of them seemed to occupy high position in government and academia. Subsequently, In response to these mass murders, the Igbo nation was furious and had to get justice whichever way possible because clearly Yakubu Gowon wasn't providing it. Achebe writes:
"On May 30 1967, Ojukwu citing a variety of malevolent acts directed at the mainly Igbo easterners such as the pogrom that claimed over 30,000 lives of men women and children, the federal government's failure to ensure the safety of easterners in the presence of organised genocide; and the direct incrimination of the government in the murders of its own citizens- proclaimed the Independence of the republic of Biafra from Nigeria".
The Author looks back in retrospect and claims that the war was deemed inevitable and there was no other path to go than to secede. For the Biafrans at that point, there was no going back, it was either secession or death. An all-out declaration of war.
The War: The war accounts are holistic enough coupled with enough facts and data as he simultaneously captures the bloody atmosphere at the receiving end of the battering. Bombs, Napalms, shells and bullets rained constantly upon Igbo land with heavy loss of human life and mass destruction of property. It was more of a genocide than a war and the primary weapon of mass destruction was no other than- Starvation. As the Nigerian republic shut off food supplies to the east and effectively bombed arable land suitable for farming, the Biafran men, women and children starved and died in cataclysmic numbers that it created an international media upsurge. Innocent children starved to death, victims of a war fought against an unapologetic, ruthless administration that endorsed the starvation of women and children as a "Legitimate weapon of war".
There were massacres indeed, and the most notorious of them was the Asaba Massacre carried out under the orders of General Murtala Mohammed and Ibrahim Haruna of the Nigerian Army 2nd division, 2 of the generals that led the 3 tonged offensive, the Pitchfork attack, that rained terror on the Igbos. Emma Okocha in his poetic classic The last dance on the Niger wrote that "Sons buried their fathers in their thousands and fathers buried sons in their thousands". The Asaba Massacre and the Calabar Massacre joint together scores a death toll of over 3000 lives. The author horrifically recounts that Death and destruction were the order of the day and there was "blood, blood everywhere". By the time the war was over the death toll hit around 3 million lives and even more displaced, thousands of buildings destroyed, property vandalised, women raped, children hospitalised and the whole eastern region came to the brink of poverty.
Notwithstanding, it was still a war and in war, you fight back. The Biafrans sure fought back bravely. Perhaps the most important battle strategy used by the rebels was the Che guevara style guerrilla warfare, leveraging on home advantage, the rebels usually made late night/early morning sneak attacks on enemy soldiers and violently battered them to pulp and there were even rumours that Biafrans ate the cooked flesh of Nigerian soldiers. ewww..
He also reminisces on the contingent but creative technologies used by the Biafran engineers like the Ogbunigwe, a locally made bomb made up of explosive gunpowder and scraps of sharp metal. Nevertheless, the Biafrans were completely outgunned and outmanned and the ratio of Nigerian soldiers to Biafran rebels was about 6:1. The rebels had guns too mainly supplied by the French and the Chinese but still not enough to go around for them all. He mentions:
Frederick Forsyth recalls in an excellent BBC documentary , Biafra: fighting a war without guns, that Biafran soldiers marched into war one man behind the other because they had only one rifle between them, and the thinking was that if one soldier was killed in combat the other would pick up the only weapon available and continue fighting.
The Nigerians had advanced military equipment like fighter planes and armoured tanks while the Biafrans could only make manage with Saracens, Howitzers and SUV's. Also, The Ahiara declaration would have been the primary constitution and rule of law for Biafra if secession succeeded and the nation just like any other would have had a Biafran flag, anthem, a military and an economic policy. That was the plan.
Achebe also sentimentally reminisces of how he and his family were displaced 4 times and they had to constantly keep relocating to ensure their safety. He talked particularly a lot about his dear friend and confidante Christopher Okigbo, an astute and talented poet and thinker and the junior brother of the renowned economist Pius Okigbo. During the hardest periods of the war, Christopher remained close to his family until he signed up to join the Biafran rebels and was sadly executed as a Major. One can tell how close and important Okigbo was to the author's life.
PART 3: The war gradually draws to an end, the Biafra republic surrenders to the Federal republic of Nigeria and Ojukwu flees to asylum. One can see the myriad of events that led to the loss of morale on the Biafra side- the endless starvation, the silence of the United nations, Azikiwe's withdrawal of Biafran support, the bombing of the Uli strip, Ojukwu's execution of the italians at Kwale oil rig that trumped International support and the recapture of Owerri, all which led to the Biafran surrender in January 1970.
PART 4: After such a rough, bloody and terrible past, Nigeria was expected to arise from this miry clay into a peaceful, unified and productive nation but after all said and done, Nigeria still remains a hub of corruption, mediocrity and indiscipline largely controlled by the ruling class. He suggest ways for State resuscitation and recovery with this final note:
A new patriotic consciousness has to be developed, not one based on the well worn notion of the unity of Nigeria or faith in Nigeria often touted by our corrupt leaders, but one based on awareness of the responsibility of the leaders to the led- on the sacredness of their anointment to lead- and disseminated by civil society, schools and intellectuals.
Poems and Notes: The book is also decoratively laced with beautiful haunting poems positioned in-between chapters. Before I read this book I had no idea that he was such a great poet and I was indeed mesmerised by the quality of his poetry. Such of the poems included in the book are — The Penalty of Godhead(already on the blog in the poetry section), Biafra(1969), We laughed at him and After a War.
In conclusion, Achebe is also a very heavy indexer and a voracious researcher. I guess writing a book of this cadre requires a dense investment into research and data collection. He cited 391 articles and notes in the course of writing this Chronicle.
-The Nigerian civil war of 1967–1970 is Africa's bloodiest war to date with 3 million lives lost and over 4.5 million people displaced.
-Achebe turned down Nigeria's second highest national award (Commander of the federal republic) twice in 2004 and 2011 as a result of his anger on the condition of Nigeria. He writes "I had very little at my disposal to protest with, so the strongest statement I could make was to turn down the honour of Commander of the Federal Republic, which i was awarded"
-The three Military generals picked by Gowon that led the attack on the Biafrans were General Murtala Mohammed,Gen Mohammed Shuwa and the notorious Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle aka The Black Scorpion. They spearheaded what they call the Pitchfork Offensive
-Colonel Odimegwu Ojukwu(The Biafran Leader) came from a very affluent and wealthy family, his father Sir Louis Odimegwu Ojukwu was considered the wealthiest man in Nigeria at the time(similar to Aliko Dangote now). He was so rich that he was the only African to own a fleet of porsches as a student in Oxford University England.

The Power of Heroes in the Fight against Human Trafficking
Human trafficking, also known as modern slavery, is a global crime that deprives millions around the world of their human dignity and freedom. Its victims are often lured with false promises by people they trust — including family members — and are forced into prostitution, debt bondage, domestic servitude, and other forms of modern slavery.
Human trafficking also compromises national security, distorts markets, and emboldens transnational criminals and terrorists. It threatens international peace and security.
The United States is fighting human trafficking on all fronts, engaging in robust domestic and international efforts.
On October 11, President Trump convened this Administration's first meeting of the President's Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF). He vowed that America "will not rest until we have put these vile organizations out of business and rescued every last victim."
The Trump Administration understands that the path to ending human trafficking demands action, but also cooperation. No single government or individual can fight it alone. Governments, faith-based organizations, civil society, and survivors must work together.
This is why members of the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, comprised of survivor leaders representing a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences participated in last week's meeting. These leaders, appointed by President Trump, provide a formal platform for trafficking survivors to advise and make recommendations on federal anti-trafficking policies to the Task Force.
It's also why each year, the U.S. Department of State recognizes the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report Heroes — brave individuals who dedicate their lives to this cause. They are celebrated for their tireless efforts — despite resistance, opposition, and even threats to their lives — to protect victims, punish offenders, and raise awareness of ongoing criminal practices in their countries and abroad.
As U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, I've had the privilege and honor of working with one of these extraordinary individuals: Blessing Okoedion.
Blessing is a survivor, an activist, an author, and a fierce protector of victims suffering under the evil of human trafficking. She has helped a multitude of women escape this horror. Her advocacy on their behalf has saved numerous lives.
In June, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recognized Blessing and nine other individuals with the 2018 TIP Report Heroes award. I couldn't have been more proud of her selection.
Prior to her work in fighting human trafficking, Blessing worked as a computer technician in Nigeria. A recruiter found her through her local church and offered Blessing, a college graduate, a job in Spain in a tech store, where she could have a better life. When Blessing arrived at the airport in Benin City, an immigration agent told her that her visa was fake. She was allowed to board the flight anyway.
Blessing never stepped foot inside the tech store. After arriving in Spain, her exploiters took her to Naples, Italy and forced her into prostitution. Her traffickers told her that she owed them over $70,000 to cover travel and recruitment costs. After four days on the street, Blessing managed to escape. Her perseverance took her to Casa Rut, a shelter operated by Ursuline nuns in nearby Caserta, Italy.
During an April 11 symposium hosted by our embassy, Blessing explained how the sisters of Casa Rut provided her with shelter and care. Blessing has written a book, Il Coraggio della Libertà — The Courage of Freedom, to help others better understand the horrors of human trafficking. Today she works as a cultural mediator and an advocate for women forced into human trafficking networks.
We desperately need heroes like Blessing Okoedion in the fight against modern slavery. Her perseverance and advocacy is an example of how trafficking victims can overcome, thrive, and help others to do so as well.
Leveraging input from human trafficking survivors is critical to combating human trafficking. Doing so strengthens federal policy and programming efforts. As Secretary of State Pompeo explained at last week's Task Force meeting, survivors, "set a courageous example of service for the United States, and for the world, by choosing to transform their harrowing experiences into powerful advocacy."
The Holy See, like the United States, understands and appreciates the crucial role survivors play in the fight against this global evil. Pope Francis has called for a victim-centered approach to this endeavor, a method U.S. law enforcement has adopted for some time.
Under President Trump's leadership, the United States will not rest until human trafficking is eradicated. And the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See will continue to join heroes like Blessing Okoedion and our Vatican partners in this cause.

Electoral Bill: Senate stands down move to override Buhari
The Senate on Thursday stood down consideration of the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, 2018 for third reading and passage, until Tuesday.
The bill, which was captured on the Order Paper, was stood down at plenary for more legislative work.
Announcing the development, Leader of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said "in view of the sensitive nature of the bill and its importance, it is vital to give the committee more time to do a thorough job.''
After his remarks on it, President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, put the issue to voice vote and the "`step down'' was unanimously adopted.
The bill scaled second reading on Oct. 10, a day after the Red Chamber resumed from recess.
Ongoing process on the Bill is the fourth attempt by lawmakers to have it ready for assented of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari had on Sept. 3, declined assent to the Bill, which was transmitted to him by the National Assembly on Aug. 3, for the third time.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Sen. Ita Enang, in a statement in Abuja, announced the president's decline of assent to the Bill.
He had explained that the president declined endorsement of the bill due to some drafting issues and the period fixed for political parties' primaries, among others.
In Auguat, Enang had clarified that the bill, which was forwarded to the President on Aug. 3, was "alive and awaiting assent.''
The clarification was against the backdrop of media report that Buhari had again vetoed the bill forwarded to him for assent.
But, Enang explained that the vetoed bill was the one sent to the President on June 27 and not the one passed by the Assembly on July 24, the day the lawmakers commenced their annual recess.
In February, the president rejected the first Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018 forwarded to him for assent and gave reasons.

Senate Directs CBN To Suspend ATM Card Maintenance Charges
The Nigerian Senate has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to suspend the ATM card maintenance charges being deducted from customers in a resolution passed during plenary on Wednesday, October 17, 2018.
The upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly also directed commercial banks operating in the country to configure their machines to dispense up to N40,000 per withdrawal pending the outcome of investigations by the Senate committees tasked with probing the excessive and illicit bank charges.
President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, said the motion affects every Nigerian and should be addressed by the relevant authorities. He said the Senate must ensure that effective resolutions are reached to ease the financial burden of excessive bank charges on everyday Nigerians.
He said, "This is a motion that affects the lives of every Nigerian - irrespective of what part of the country you come from or whatever political affiliation you might have. This is why we are here: to always defend and protect the interests of the Nigerian people. This Senate has done this many times before; when there was a hike in the mobile telecommunication data charges, we intervened and put an end to that. When there were discrepancies and increases in electricity prices, we also took action. We have done this on a number of similar cases. Therefore, on this, I want us to take effective resolutions."
Speaking further on ATM withdrawal limits, Saraki said it's time for the banking sector to get rid of unnecessary charges that affect customers. "For me, this is a major step that we are taking. This is because I introduced the first ATM machine that came into Nigeria over 25-years ago. Now, after 25-years, we should have grown out of these excessive charges and moved on. So, I believe that this something that we must address to create an environment that protects all Nigerians, because these kind of charges in this economy affects everyone," he said.
Ikpeazu on VP Nomination
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi has cleared the air over reports that South East Governors and Party leaders from the region were not consulted before his nomination was made public.
The former Anambra State Governor who was in Aba, the commercial city of Abia State to see Governor Okezie Ikpeazu explains that he consulted widely including all the South East Governors and other stakeholders with no one declining his candidature.
Obi notes that what Nigeria needs at this point in time is a leader who will tackle the economic and security challenges confronting the nation.
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu had earlier debunked insinuations that the three PDP governors from Mr Peter Obi's South East region were opposed to his emergence as the running mate to the Party's Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Ikpeazu made it clear that the choice of the former Anambra State governor stems from Obi's leadership qualities and integrity over the years, describing him as the right man for the job.
It will be recalled that after a meeting of PDP leaders from the South East zone in Enugu last Saturday, the Governor's were reported as complaining that the Party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar did not consult them before nominating Peter Obi as the running mate.

What medicines can help with nicotine withdrawal?
A number of medicines can help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco by lessening nicotine withdrawal. Some of them work by giving you low doses of nicotine so that your nicotine withdrawal symptoms will not be as strong. Others cut the pleasure and help with withdrawal symptoms. Using some form of nicotine containing or other medicine doubles your chances of quitting smoking for good, especially if you are nicotine dependent.
Below are some medicines for you to consider:
Does TRICARE pay for cessation medications?
Yes, TRICARE does pay for cessation medications. At no cost to you, TRICARE beneficiaries can receive over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies and prescription medications through the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery and military pharmacies. Active Duty U.S. military personnel also have access to free medications to help them quit through military hospitals and clinics. Smoking cessation medications are not covered at retail pharmacies.
In addition, each state has a tobacco quitline set up through 1-800-Quit-Now. Calling this number will route you to your state's service, and many states offer free nicotine patches and gum when you enroll in their programs.
In order to receive any smoking cessation medication, you must have a prescription from a TRICARE-authorized providerAn authorized provider is any individual, institution/organization, or supplier that is licensed by a state, accredited by national organization, or meets other standards of the medical community, and is certified to provide benefits under TRICARE. There are two types of TRICARE-authorized providers: Network and Non-Network..
Does TRICARE cover smoking cessation counseling?
In October 2008, TRICARE began coverage of smoking cessation counseling when provided by an authorized TRICARE provider. Patients and their providers can decide on a blend of individual and group sessions within the program guidelines. Find out more about smoking cessation counseling services covered by TRICARE.
You also can start finding support by contacting your installation's cessation program through our online locator. And remember, you can get live personalized online support including real-time group chat sessions with expert cessation counselors as well as support from those who have quit tobacco or are in the process of quitting.
What are the signs of nicotine addiction?
Anyone who uses tobacco can become dependent on nicotine. Being dependent on nicotine means that you need nicotine to prevent withdrawal symptoms or to help you feel right. Smoke from cigarettes, cigars and pipes contains thousands of chemicals, including nicotine. Nicotine also is found in chewing tobacco.
Signs of nicotine dependence can include the following:
What kinds of drugs are available to help smokers quit?
There are nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) (e.g., nicotine gum, nicotine patch, nicotine nasal spray, nicotine inhaler and nicotine lozenge). There is also Zyban and the new stop smoking medication CHANTIX. Sometimes people will refer to Zyban as bupropion, which is the same drug but it is the generic name for Zyban. Other times, people will think Wellbutrin is used to treat smokers. Wellbutrin is actually a treatment for depression and is not used to treat smokers. Some health professionals prescribe Wellbutrin because insurers will reimburse for depression treatment where they typically will not reimburse for smoking treatment.
How do the nicotine replacement therapies work?
Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) provide the smoker with an alternative method for receiving nicotine. Rather than smoking or chewing tobacco, NRTs can be absorbed through the mouth (e.g., gum, inhaler, and lozenge), the skin (e.g., patch), and nasal mucosa (i.e, inside lining of the nose) in alternative forms that do not contain tobacco. Essentially, NRTs are designed to provide withdrawal relief and reduce the reinforcing effects of nicotine, which deconditions the intake of the nicotine. Deconditioning separates the nicotine addiction from the environmental cues that foster the addiction, making it easier for the smoker to quit the NRT.
Which nicotine-containing medication is more effective?
There is no one nicotine-containing medication (NRT) that has been singled out as being more effective. However, in a "heads up" comparison, Zyban outperformed the patch in helping smokers quit. Choosing the NRT that's best for you should be done with the help of a physician.
How does Zyban work?
Zyban was the first non-nicotine drug approved to help smokers quit. Essentially, it reduces withdrawal from cigarettes and helps with craving. Scientifically speaking, Zyban is a monocyclic antidepressant that works on the dopaminergic and the noradrenergic pathways.
What is CHANTIX? How does it work?
CHANTIX was developed specifically to treat nicotine dependence. It is a partial agonist with specificity for the a4ß2 receptor. So, what does that mean? Essentially, CHANTIX binds to and partially simulates the nicotine receptor site without creating a full nicotinic effect. This is called the agonist effect. In the presence of nicotine (when you inhale), the drug acts as an antagonist. That is, CHANTIX blocks the receptor, preventing nicotine from binding and thereby calming nicotine's effect.
What about medicine to quit chewing tobacco?
Quitting smokeless tobacco is very difficult because only the gum and Zyban have been found to be partially effective in helping users quit. One of the major reasons is the increased level of nicotine in smokeless tobacco.
The average cigarette averages from 8–14 milligrams of nicotine; whereas, the average pinch of chewing tobacco has about 40–60 milligrams of nicotine. Since nicotine is the addictive agent, you can see that, theoretically, smokeless tobacco users could in fact be more addicted than smokers. But, research notes that smokeless tobacco users do not experience withdrawal symptoms at the same intensity as smokers.
If I'm on a medication, can I still use CHANTIX?
Yes, there are no contraindications and 92–93 percent of CHANTIX* is excreted through the urine totally unchanged. Moreover, there are no drug–to–drug interactions.
What medicines can help you quit smoking?
Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) and other medications can help you stop smoking and lessen the urge to use tobacco, especially if you are nicotine dependent. You can get some of them over the counter in a drugstore or pharmacy. For others, you will need a prescription from your doctor. Used correctly, medications can double your chances of quitting smoking and staying quit.
The information provided on this site is:
* NOTE: Serious neuropsychiatric symptoms have occurred in patients being treated with CHANTIX. All patients being treated with CHANTIX should be observed for neuropsychiatric symptoms including changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior. Patients attempting to quit smoking with CHANTIX and their families and caregivers should be alerted about the need to monitor for these symptoms and to report such symptoms immediately to the patient's healthcare provider. CHANTIX should not be used by personnel operating aircraft (including aircrew and air traffic controllers) and missile crew members.

A Frenchman and Veteran of the American Revolutionary War, William Fuquay purchased a 1,000-acre plot of land on which to settle with his family. His great-grandson soon discovered a mineral spring while plowing one of the family's fields. Soon, the spring developed a reputation for restorative properties, and visitors traveled from miles around to bathe in its healing waters. Because of this, Fuquay Springs was born. Nearby, a young civil war veteran who had once been his wartime pen pal returned home with his wife. He named his mercantile Varina Station, and the nearby timber industry caused a small settlement to grow up around his establishment.
Eventually, the two small settlements grew together, becoming modern-day Fuquay-Varina. These days, the town is one of the region's fastest growing towns. From 1970 to 2010, the population more than quadrupled, due to its old-fashioned charm and close proximity to the Research Triangle Park. According to the latest 2015 census report, 23,907 residents call Fuquay-Varina home. The original mineral spring that made Fuquay such a popular tourist attraction is still in existence and has since been turned into a park. The revitalization efforts over the last 20 years have succeeded in creating a quaint, vibrant downtown, with plenty of shopping opportunities for locals and visitors alike.
In a word, Fuquay-Varina has it all - with plenty of homes for sale. Luxurious, spacious estates, lakefront homes, impressive condominiums, and comfortable single-family hideaways are all readily available in the Fuquay-Varina real estate market. If you're looking for a quiet and confortable neighborhood for you and your family, then you've definitely come to the right place.
Take a look at our exhaustive Fuquay-Varina real estate listings. Once you've found some homes for sale that you'd like to get to know a little better, get in touch with us. Our local Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Carolinas real estate experts are eager help put the keys to your Fuquay-Varina dream-home in your hands.

Given the rise of malicious virus attacks and security breaches, organizations are constantly at risk of devastating business losses and network downtime, making security an essential aspect of any SQL Server professional's job. The proliferation of interconnected applications sharing data across intranets and the Internet, makes security more crucial than ever to organizations of all types. The following winning products help make databases and their applications more secure.
Best Content-Filtering Device. Application data traffic is susceptible to unauthorized access or tampering and thus poses serious information privacy and quality risks. Network Appliance's NetApp NetCache Systems product line is a suite of Web delivery and security appliances. NetCache appliances are deployed across the entire network, from the primary data center to remote points of presence (POPs) and local offices worldwide. NetCache appliances address three major customer challenges: Internet security, Web content and application acceleration, and video delivery. The ability to support multiple applications on a single platform lets you scale your network quickly, with efficient manageability.
Best Data-Encryption Tool. One voter said that Imceda Software's LiteSpeed (now a Quest Software product) is "the best encryption software available in the market. \[It has\] feature-rich software with one of the easiest user interfaces." LiteSpeed is a backup-and-recovery software for SQL Server that provides integrated compression and encryption in the backup process. LiteSpeed can also provide fully encrypted database backups for added security. The tool integrates with existing infrastructure without requiring proprietary hardware or applications and is fully programmable and scriptable with T-SQL, command-line interfaces, or an easy-to-use GUI. Readers voted for the improved system performance, reliability, and security that LiteSpeed provides. Communication Horizons' NetLib Encryptionizer for SQL Server and Application Security's DbEncrypt tied for a close second.
Best Patch-Management Tool. Marimba Patch Management from BMC Software enables the management and deployment of security and functional patches on servers, desktops, and laptops across the enterprise. The tool automates patch collection, preparation, testing, staging, deployment, and auditing and helps administrators save time, improve response times, and reduce attack-related risks. The product enables patch and security compliance by detecting vulnerabilities and performing automatic remediation; reduces the maintenance and support cost spikes associated with patch detection and installation; protects employee productivity by providing continued operations for local and geographically distributed employees; reduces costs; and eliminates errors associated with manual patch tracking, reporting, and analysis.
Best Security-Auditing/Scanning Software. Coherent Software's Log P.I. reads the native SQL Server transaction log, which contains all changes made (in a production environment) both to data as well as the underlying schema (security, table columns, table relationships, etc.) Because SQL Server collects the data for recovery purposes, there's no additional overhead on the server. The software provides an audit trail of business processes, recovers data from accidental or malicious damage, and gathers performance histories for the server, database, and logging subsystem. The product also monitors any number of SQL Servers, databases, and their respective transaction logs simultaneously, giving the user an up-to-date summary of the databases and logging subsystem's status and health.
Best User Authorization/Authentication Tool. Customers create enterprise-wide provisioning specifications that enforce policies and standards while ensuring consistency and security by using BMC Software's CONTROL-SA to define profiles and authorizations that map to their business organization, roles, and responsibilities. CONTROL-SA automates and simplifies user administration across the enterprise via a common presentation layer, data consolidation, and a scalable, open architecture. The tool provides performance with flexible configuration options: local and remote management, repository options, and Web and Windows-based GUIs.

text: Deer Season: Story Story Posted 10-21-2013 Tune In For Live Hunt Go on Kansas deer hunt via web stream Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET By: Steve Bowman, OutdoorChannel.com HUTCHINSON, Kan. -- Trey Merritt is only 11 years old, but he already has a distinguished hunting career. It's about to get better during an inaugural "Live Deer Hunt" on OutdoorChannel.com. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET Tuesday, October 22, 2013, Merritt will be the featured guest of a ground-breaking effort by Outdoor Channel to bring live hunts to its audience. "This is something totally new,'' said Mike Williams, vice-president of digital media for Outdoor Channel. "Our audience loves to tune into the network to watch their heroes hunt and fish around the world. "A live-streamed hunt on OutdoorChannel.com gives them the opportunity to go on a hunt with one of our guests while sitting at their desks during the work week." The stream is scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. ET Tuesday, October 22, 2013, weather permitting, and will run for approximately three hours. The length could be shorter or longer, depending on the action of the hunt. At center stage will be Merritt, a young hunter from DeWitt, Ark. Merritt made headlines six years ago at the age of 5 when he killed a black bear in Arkansas. The kill was made even more special by the fact that Merritt is Davy Crockett's sixth great grandson. On Monday, he arrowed his biggest buck to date near Hutchinson, Kan., that will score in the 150-inch range. That story will soon be featured in the Deer Camp section of OutdoorChannel.com. Merritt still has a doe tag and will be hunting with John Butler of Buck Forage Oats. The two hope to fill a buck and doe tag in the morning. Viewers can watch the action live by clicking on this link. Questions can be asked and will be answered live during the hunt. Those wishing to ask questions can comment at the bottom of the page or go to the Outdoor Channel page on Facebook. Upcoming hunts will feature live hunts with Knight and Hale, Lee and Tiffany Lakosky from Crush with Lee & Tiffany, and many more. Click here to check out OutdoorChannel.com's Live Hunts.

Though Gov. Pat Quinn and the Illinois General Assembly this week moved closer to a budget compromise, at least one element proposed last week by Quinn needs to be revisited.
Last Tuesday, the governor rolled out a plan that called for sweeping layoffs in a number of state agencies. In all, his proposal would cut thousands of state jobs. Many of those cuts would dismantle social service agencies that serve the most vulnerable among us. Others target correctional facilities.

In Jewish tradition, a young girl becomes a Bat Mitzvah automatically at age 12, which is one year earlier that boys. This is because girls often reach puberty earlier than boys; and according to tradition, become obligated to observe all the customs and rituals designated to young women, including preparing themselves for their eventual role as wives and mothers. In Orthodox households, girls do not usually have religious rituals connected with being a Bat Mitzvah. While their male counterparts are inducted into their entry into manhood with religious rituals, including being called up to the Torah, religious girls mostly observe this event with family celebrations.
Orthodox Jewish traditions define definite roles for girls and later for women, which include keeping a kosher home and observing the Mitzvot, or religious and moral customs and laws. Once becoming a Bat Mitzvah, an Orthodox Jewish girl is expected to begin preparing herself for her household and family duties, including the observance of all the Jewish religious holidays, and of course Shabbat. Observance of the Shabbat, the Jewish day of prayer and rest is considered among religious Jews to be the most important holy of all days; and as stated in Chapter 2, verse 2 of the Book of Genesis: "And on the seventh day, God finished His work which He had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all the work He had made."
In less strict branches of Judaism, however, girls may have similar rituals as boys, including being called up to the Torah and fully participating in the religious service, including reading from the Torah and chanting the Haftorah (the biblical readings which were written after the Torah or Five Books of Moses). In fact, reaching the age of Bat Mitzvah may actually be the beginning of a girl's Jewish learning, and may induce her to continue her religious studies; even one day reaching the point of even becoming a Rabbi or Cantor in a Conservative or Reform congregation.
And, like Bar Mitzvah boys, becoming a Bat Mitzvah for girls is an excuse to invite all her friends and classmates for a get together or party! On such an occasion a Bat Mitzvah gift is traditionally given, either of religious significance, or simply anything that young 12 year olds would like, clothes especially. If you're looking for an original and unique way to combine the two, you can present the birthday girl with Jewish jewelry - both beautiful and meaningful on this occasion. Whatever the religious background, the milestone of becoming a Bat Mitzvah is becoming more meaningful in Jewish households, particularly as many Jewish girls become more interested in engaging in Jewish studies and their heritage.
Possible ideas for Bat Mitzvah gifts can include handmade jewelry, Star of David jewelry, Hamsa earrings, Bat Mitzvah jewelry boxes with Jewish themes, Shabbat candleholders, a beautiful Kabbalah bracelet, 24K Inscribed Shema Yisrael Necklace in Silver and other Judaica gifts.
Visit our Bat Mitzvah gifts section for some great gift ideas.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The 16th-ranked Arizona baseball team relied on dominant relief pitching and a two-out rally in the seventh inning to defeat visiting Columbia University, 7-5, on Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game series between the schools at Hi Corbett Field.
Joseph Maggi, who had been hitless in his previous 14 at-bats, broke out of his slump and broke a 5-5 tie in the seventh with a two-out, run-scoring single to center field that gave the Wildcats a one-run edge. A wild pitch later in the inning allowed a second run to score, and the two-run margin was plenty for Arizona's bullpen.
Right-handers Tyger Talley and Mathew Troupe combined for six shutout innings of relief as only two Lions reached base after the fourth inning. Talley relieved starter Cody Moffett with no outs in the fourth and pitched three innings of no-hit baseball, while Troupe tied his career high with six-strikeouts over the final three frames.
Arizona (13-5) faced an early deficit after the Lions scored three times in the top of the first. Zach Gibbons, who went 3-for-4, ignited the offense in the home half of the first with a leadoff single – the first of four singles in the inning. Kevin Newman drove in a run on his only hit of the day, and Trent Gilbert later added a two-run single to tie up the game.
Columbia (1-6) regained the lead in the third, but the Wildcats answered right back with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Johnny Field, who was 3-for-4 with two runs scored, led off with a double and moved to third on Brandon Dixon's bunt single.
Dixon, who has reached base in all 18 games, stole his conference-leading 14th base of the year, which drew an errant throw and allowed Field to coast home with the tying run. Gilbert later drove in his third run of the game on a groundout, and Arizona had its first lead, 5-4.
The Lions wasted no time tying the game in the fourth. David Vandercook hit a leadoff triple to right field, which forced Moffett from the game. Talley allowed the inherited run to score, but otherwise quickly worked the Wildcats out of the inning.
Talley allowed only two base runners to reach in his three innings – one from a catcher's interference call on David Real and the other on a walk to the final batter he faced to open the seventh.
After scoring four runs on six hits in two-plus innings against Columbia starter Joey Gandolfo, Arizona had less success against reliever Adam Cline. The righty allowed an unearned run in the third, but otherwise scattered three hits and two walks over 3.2 innings.
The Wildcats mounted their two-rally in the seventh against reliever Thomas Crispi. Gilbert singled and Ryan Koziol drew a four-pitch walk ahead of Maggi's go-ahead base hit.
Kevin Roy replaced Crispi and quickly walked Real, which loaded the bases. Roy then hurled a wild pitch that allowed Koziol to score, before Cody Ramer struck out to end the inning.
The two-run cushion was more than enough for Troupe. The righty retired all three batters he faced in seventh after taking over for Talley with a runner on first. In the eighth, Troupe gave up a one-out single, but otherwise struck out the side before working a percent ninth with two more punch outs to close the game.
The three-inning relief appearance earned Troupe (W, 2-0) his second victory of the season. He also earned the win on Friday night as the Wildcats scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth in a 4-3 victory.
Crispi (L, 0-2) suffered the loss for the second time on the weekend after giving up the winning run on Friday.
The series win was Arizona's 22nd in the last 25 weekend series that Arizona has played dating back to the final month of the 2011 season.
Arizona continues an 18-game home stand with five more contests this week. The Wildcats host Butler for a two-game midweek set (March 12-13), which begins on Tuesday at 6 p.m. (MST) at Hi Corbett Field.
Next weekend, Pac-12 Conference play commences as Arizona hosts undefeated Oregon State (15-0) for a three-game series (March 15-17).

That it is the duty of thc Jews of America to send to these helpless Jews under fire the only type of ammunition that can be of use to them—funds for food, for clothing, for medical care, for education, for trade training; sums large enough to offset thc terrible want and privation that occur when a helpless minority living in the poorest circumstances is further imposed upon by in¬ humane discriminations. Columbus Jewry, jis in previous years, is equally interested in the aims and efforts of the various agencies which are seeking funds to reconstruct the lives of Jews in Germany, in the refugee lands, in Poland, Roumania, and other sections of Europe. The local sub¬ scribers realize too that their one contribution also goes towards the maintenance of thc leading Jewish institutions and organizations in America. 1 Upon E. J. Schanfarber and Simon Lazarns and their co¬ workers, again falls the burden of raising funds for worthy causes, the minimum goal this year being $44,000, with the hope of raising $50,000. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJEC¬ TIVE, SUBSTANTIAL INCREASES ARE IMPERATIVE. Through the efforts of these two men practically 100 cents of every dollar collected will go directly to the various Jewish institutions and emergencies for which they are intended. Thc forthcoming campaign is a means and a test of local unity in meeting the great emergency of our people. I^et those, who have them'sclves been so sorely tried during recent years, express their gratitude to God by answering the appeal most generously. The Ohio Jewish Chronicle expresses the hope that with the forcefulness and courage of our local leaders, so useful in rallying the community during depression years, will be equally fruitful this year in helping conquer the most difficult problems facing us today. We are confident that Columbus Jewry will again rise to the heights of generous giving and go "over the top" in the campaign starting next Thursday evening, June 10th.

Jewish students HI other profcbsional schools are hited as follows 136% in social work, 112% in veterinary medi¬ cine; 6.98% m engineering, SOS'/o in education, and 2 5% m agricul¬ ture Of the 105.000 Jewish college stu¬ dents, 35,000 are registered in pro- fes<iionaI schools, 4,000 or one out of every six being medical students and 7,500, or one out of every four, bemg law students The survey showed that while there are large perceniages of Jewish studenti. in the dental and pharmacy colleges, ncitlier dentistry nor pharinacy as profcbional fields m the country as I vvhole IS overcrowded Dr Lev¬ inger also found optometry schooK hiive <i fairly large proportion of Jewish students and that one in every si\. ^.tudents in commerce col¬ leges IS a Jtw. The field of account¬ ing, he reported, "is largely closed to Jewish graduates of the com¬ merce colleges, as very few hrmg engaged in this work will hire them On the other hand, business aa a vvhole has always been open to th? Jew " Tbe survey also disclosed that there are only 4,500 Jewish students ainong the 150,000 education stu dents, a small percentage largely accounted for, Dr. Levinger .says, by the fact that many boards of education, especially in rural areas, discriminate against Jewish teach ers. A similar situation prevails.!" the.field of engineering where only about 7% of the students are Jews, while 2.5% of the 10,000 agriculture Etudeutii are Jews. ''The fields which seem most open to Jewish aspirants are pure research and the arts writing, music and fine arts," Dr, Levinger tleclares, "but in these, our college statistics Rive us very little enlightenment, as most of our future scientists and artists are takms general cpurse's. today, and many of them may not be in college at all."

A bill in the legislature would raise the minimum hourly wage in Connecticut from $8.25 to $9 on July 1 and to $9.75 a year later. It also calls for automatic raises tied to the Consumer Price Index. The Connecticut Business and Industry Association opposes the bill, saying it would discourage hiring. Last year, a similar bill passed the House but failed to come up in the Senate. What's your view? Would automatic hikes in the minimum wage hurt business or increase prosperity in Connecticut? Is this the right time to raise wages, or the wrong time?

NEW YORK (AP) - April 1, 2013 --Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad will star on Broadway this fall in a modern take on William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," a revival that will add an element of racial contrast to the tale of two "star-crossed lovers."
Producers said Monday that previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will begin Aug. 24 with an opening set for Sept. 19. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on April 8.The production will also star Jayne Houdyshell as the Nurse and Joe Morton as Lord Capulet. The Capulets will be played by black actors and the Montagues by white actors.
Director David Leveaux stressed that the idea of exploring the racial difference between the two feuding Italian families came organically after the casting of the lead actor and actress.

Urban Garden Party - 6/18/10
The true meaning of urban was on full display at the most extravagant Mattress Factory Urban Garden Party yet, and celebrated the diversity of the city. Skateboard ramps in the parking lot, chocolate-covered trees and leaves, decorations of origami cranes and stars, video remixes streaming on the walls, and entertainment in every corner altogether emitted an aura of "Summer in the City." A live performance by the London-found band, Eclectic Method, got the sold-out party of 1,200 people started. Drum performances, skateboarders, hip-hop performers, and a silent auction, featuring one-of-a-kind art pieces influenced by summer kites, completed the evening. This "sweaty urban dance party" themed celebration "was a great night full of people coming together from all walks of life to support the mission of the Mattress Factory," says director of media and public relations Jeffrey Inscho.Read More
