The Staves
The singing Staveley-Taylor sisters were doing it for themselves when English contemporary folk music seemed to be spreading in other directions. Recalling the heady Laurel Canyon days when JONI MITCHELL was mistress of the airwaves, Emily, Jessica and Camilla – the latter pair also on acoustic guitar and ukulele respectively – had plied their harmonies in 2010 as The Horns on open-mic nights at their local pub in Watford.
At the suggestion of a friend, the Hertfordshire heroines changed their moniker to The STAVES and, almost immediately, the strength of their heavenly harmonies were tested on TOM JONES' blues album, `Praise And Blame' (2010). Subsequently supporting on tour KEANE alumni Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin on their MT. DESOLATION country-rock side-project, Jessica was invited to stick around to perform on the duo's eponymous set for Island.
In the meantime, The STAVES self-released their inaugural record, `Facing West', a glorious track (very THIS IS THE KIT) that has since become their signature tune and probably the catalyst to them signing to the mighty Atlantic corporation. From October 2011 to April the following year, The STAVES served up three singles that went under the radar: `Live At Cecil Sharp House' (showcasing `Gone Tomorrow' and `Silver Dagger'), the `Mexico EP' (comprising `Mexico', `Icarus' and `I Try') and their first official catalogue release, `The Motherlode EP' (featuring the lead track plus `Pay Us No Mind' and the C&W-esque `Wisely And Slow').
With this armoury of tracks behind them and a slot for `Facing West' on BBC2's promotional interlude caption, several songs re-appeared on their breakthrough Top 30 set, DEAD & BORN & GROWN (2012) {*7}. Produced by Glyn Johns and his son Ethan, and with further exposure for `Facing West' on the Later… with Jools Holland TV show, The STAVES had propelled the art of singing with a grace and solemnity. DEAD & BORN & GROWN & LIVE (2013) {*6} was basically the debut set: in concert, in track order, and with a bonus disc ("Live At The Scala") of outtakes.
Across the waters, the Staveley-Taylors had already broken new ground for a British folk act, appearing at SXSW, on an Austin to Boston tour, plus as support to The CIVIL WARS and, more importantly, as further support to BON IVER. Significantly, albeit a few years down the line, Justin Vernon took up the mantle to produce The STAVES on their sophomore Top 20 set, IF I WAS (2015) {*7}. With harmonies binding and strong, backed by occasional orchestral manoeuvres in the "light", the siblings' LAURA MARLING-meets-The CORRS soft-rock was catering for an American market. Whether the States would take the bait of The STAVES' genuine and compulsive singing was questionable, but in `Blood I Bled', `Black & White', `The Shining', `Teeth White' and `Sadness Don't Own Me', it was certainly worth the effort.

By Orhan Coskun
ANKARA (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan described a corruption investigation shaking his government as a "black stain on Turkey's democratic history" on Tuesday and a worse betrayal than any of the military coups of past decades.
Addressing members of his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan said the corruption investigation was being driven by outside forces opposed to Turkey's assertive foreign policy and bent on damaging its economy ahead of elections this year.
He appeared to soften his stance on plans to give government greater control over the naming of judges and prosecutors, saying he would drop the proposals if the opposition agreed instead to changes to the constitution.
But the main opposition CHP, which argues the government's plans violate the constitution, said it would come to the negotiating table only if Erdogan withdrew the proposals first. A senior AK Party official said he was not optimistic of reaching a compromise.
The corruption scandal, one of the biggest challenges of Erdogan's 11-year rule, erupted on December 17 with the detention of dozens of people including businessmen close to the government and three cabinet ministers' sons.
Turkey has been held up by the United States and other Western allies as an example of a working Muslim democracy since Erdogan was first elected in 2002. But a crackdown on popular protests in June and Erdogan's reaction to the corruption scandal have raised doubts about democratic reform.
"December 17 is a black stain on Turkey's democratic history. It has surpassed all previous coup attempts and has been recorded as a betrayal to the state, democracy and the nation," Erdogan said to applause from his party members.
"This operation targeted our national foreign policy, our national will, our national intelligence agency," he said.
The army forced four governments from power in the second half of the 20th century. A 1960 coup resulted in the hanging of the prime minister and two other ministers and subsequent putsches were accompanied by mass arrests, torture and deaths.
Erdogan moved soon after taking office to break the political influence of the army, an achievement welcomed by many at home and abroad as a democratic breakthrough.
Erdogan has responded by purging hundreds of police officers and seeking tighter government control over the judiciary, a feud which has raised alarm in Western capitals and shaken investor confidence in what was long one of the world's fastest growing economies.
He said he was willing to drop a draft bill which would hand the government more control over the High Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK), which makes senior judicial appointments, if the opposition agreed instead to amendments to the constitution.
It was not clear what those changes might be, but the Hurriyet newspaper said the AK Party could propose a modification to an article regulating the structure of the HSYK.
Erdogan's opponents view the draft bill as an effort by the government to stifle the corruption investigations and have said the proposed changes violate the constitution.
"If the opposition says 'let's make a change in the constitution' we're up for that," Erdogan said, adding senior ruling party officials were in talks with the opposition.
"If necessary we will halt the ongoing work on the law."
Parliamentary sources said Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag and another senior AKP official would meet the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to try to find a compromise.
The main opposition CHP, which has said the government's plans violate the constitution, said it would only come to the negotiating table if Erdogan withdrew the proposals first.
"We stand where we were last night," CHP vice chairman Faruk Logoglu told Reuters.
"First they have to withdraw the proposal and that would create a platform for a possible consensus," he said.
President Abdullah Gul, seen as a more conciliatory figure than Erdogan, also discussed the issue with opposition leaders before holding talks with the prime minister late on Monday.

Malpractice insurer backs off on discrimination against LTC doctors
The largest medical malpractice insurer in the state of Maryland has dumped its plan to cancel coverage for doctors who treat many nursing home patients.
Medical Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland has gone back on its decision of earlier this year to limit its exposure to excessive malpractice award payouts by canceling policies for nursing home doctors -- doctors with more than 30% of their patients living in long-term care facilities. While Medical Mutual said it was willing to reinsure doctors if they lowered their percentage of nursing home patients, the company had planned to penalize such doctors with a 20% surcharge to reinsure.
According to company information, Medical Mutual is one of the nation's oldest and most respected physician-owned and directed professional liability insurance companies offering medical professional liability insurance to physicians in the state of Maryland.

Cut QualityDiamonds of fair cut quality are still quite attractive, but they may not be as brilliant as the top 3 grades. Fair cut diamonds are proportioned to yield more carat weight from the diamond rough. Such diamonds may be attractive to budget-conscious customers.
ColorDiamonds of G color are nearly colorless. G color diamonds may have a slight yellowish tint when viewed against white flat background. When set in platinum or white gold jewelry the presence of color will not be noticeable which makes diamonds in this color grade very popular.
ClarityInclusions and external blemishes in diamonds of SI1 clarity may be easy to spot under 10X power magnification. Location of the inclusions greatly affect their visibility to the naked eye. SI1 diamonds of good color produce as good of a sparkle as the more expansive VS graded stones of lower color. Excellent bargains may be fond in this category.

A matriarchy is a social unit governed by a woman or group of women. It isn't certain that a true matriarchal society has ever existed, so matriarchy is usually treated as an imaginative concept. But there are societies in which relatedness through women rather than men is stressed, and elements of matriarchy may be stronger in certain societies than they are in most of the Western world.

194P - KRAS status as predictive marker of response and time to progression in EGFR wild-type stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pati...

KRAS mutations are present in ∼30% of NSCLC patients and have been associated with upregulation of genes implicated in angiogenesis as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Bevacizumab (BVZ) is a recombinant monoclonal humanized antibody targeted against VEGF and added to carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy has demonstrated to improve outcome in non-squamous NSCLC. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of KRAS mutations in response rate (RR) and time to progression (TTP) in a cohort of patients homogeneously treated with BVZ in combination with platin-docetaxel compared with a control group of patients treated with same chemotherapy backbone.Methods
EGFR wild-type patients treated with up to 6 cycles of carboplatin (AUC 5) or cisplatin (75mg/m2), docetaxel (75mg/m2) and BVZ (7.5mg/kg) on day 1, every 21 days. Patients with RR or stable disease continued maintenance BVZ (7.5 mg/kg) every 21 days until progression. Control group was treated with the same chemotherapy without BVZ. KRAS mutations at codons 12, 13 and 61 were analyzed by cobas KRAS Mutation Test (Roche) from DNA purified from diagnostic samples.Results
30 patients were enrolled in the BVZ group: 24 male, 6 female; median age: 62 years; ECOG 1/2: 22/8; 27 adenocarcinoma and 3 undifferentiated large cell carcinoma. From them, 7 (23.3%) patients were KRAS mutated. 16 patients were enrolled in the control group: 14 male, 2 female; median age 58; ECOG 1/2: 9/7; 13 adenocarcinomas and 3 undifferentiated large cell carcinoma. From control group, 3 (18.8%) were KRAS mutated. BVZ therapy showed a significant improved efficacy in KRAS wild-type compared to mutated patients (RR: 88.9% vs 14.3%, p = 0.045; and TTP: 9.4 months vs 7.5 months, p = 0.033), but did not impact on overall survival (12.4 months vs 11.1 months, p= 0.780). These differences were not observed in control group. Moreover, in KRAS wild-type patients, the BVZ addition to therapy showed a significant improved efficacy compared to control group (RR: 88.9% vs 20%; p = 0.001).Conclusions
KRAS wild-type status in wild-type EGFR stage IV non-squamous NSCLC might be associated with enhanced RR and TTP in BVZ-platin-docetaxel treated patients, suggesting a potential role as a predictive biomarker in this population.Disclosure

Every year we witness the release of a brand new version of Google's Android operating system. While last year's update was named Android 6.0 Marshmallow, this year we've got Android 7.0 Nougat.
Android Nougat is being termed as a major rollout, packing a heavy chunk of new features and improvements. Coming loaded with new features like multitasking, VR, keyboard themes, and new emojis, Android 7.0 Nougat is arriving soon to Android devices.
Keeping these great features aside, another important question is — "When will my phone get Android 7.0 Nougat update?" If we take a look at the previous records of Android device manufacturers, their performance is pretty dismal. Such situation makes it even more important to know the answer.
Talking about the final release date, it's rumoured that Google is ready to release Android 7.0 later in August, though that seems early.
Here's what you can expect from different smartphone manufacturers:
Android 7.0 Nougat Update Release: Google Nexus
Android Nougat release date expectation: Within few days of final Android N release
If we take a look at the history, Android 6.0 Marshmallow was rolled out to Nexus smartphones as soon as Google rolled out the final version.
The new Nexus devices are the first ones to get the Android 7.0 update and the rollout has already started. If you wish to grab the Android N, you can go ahead and check for updates in the settings of your Android Nexus phone.
Official Update: The Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, and Nexus Player have started receiving updates.
Android 7.0 Nougat Update Release: Google Pixel C
Android Nougat release date expectation: Within the first month of release

Tissue grafting may be required if your gums have receded which can happen due to several reasons. Though you may not know exactly the reason that caused the recession, our trained and expert staff at Cattafesta Family Dentistry can help you identify potential factors.
When you receive tissue grafting, you are protecting your gums from further decay and helping reduce tooth sensitivity. Whatever the reason may be for receiving the service, you will leave with a new and beautiful smile!
Causes of Gum Recession
Gum recession is usually caused by advanced gum disease (periodontitis). Gingivitis is the beginning stages of periodontitis and if it is left untreated, gum disease can progress further and can cause serious damage. Advanced gum disease can cause the following:
- Gums to pull away from the teeth
- Loose teeth
- Teeth that fall out
Symptoms that may point to someone experiencing gum recession can be noted as the following:
- Teeth having sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Teeth appearing longer than normal
- Growing spaces between teeth
- Roots of teeth begin to show
Tissue Grafting
When you come to Cattafesta Family Dentistry for your tissue grafting procedure, you will be given a local anaesthetic so it will numb all areas involved. We also provide medicine in order to help you relax if needed. Your comfortability is important to the staff at Cattafesta Family Dentistry!
Contact Cattafesta Family & Cosmetic Dentistry Today!

I notice that a lot of people visit my blog because they want to get WP-PostViews or Popularity Contest plugin to work with a WordPress cache plugin like WP Super Cache. In this post I will show you the general technique I use to make (almost) any plugin compatible with WP Super Cache.
Understanding WP Super Cache
As you all may know, WP Super Cache when fully enabled works by saving a copy of the generated HTML file and using .htaccess to redeliver that same static file upon repeated requests. The benefit of this is obviously the time saving from the absence of PHP execution and database queries. This "feature" also has the side effect of staticizing any parts of the page that needs to be dynamic, such as:
- Statistics tracking: This includes things like page view counting/displaying and visitor tracking. Some plugins that do this are WP Post Views and Popularity Contest.
- Dynamic visitor targeting: This includes things like showing different content depending on who your visitor is. Some plugins that do this are What Would Seth Godin Do and Who Sees Ads.

Metalsmith General Engineering Ltd, my passion injected into a company. After leaving the Army as a master welder, I want to be free to design and manufacture bespoke items from scrap like my BB Car pictured to the Left (BBQ named by my son and now apprentice). Also to carry out General Engineering services to commercial and consumer clients, that represent my values and standards that have been drummed into me from basic training.
As you can probably agree it's an expensive venture starting up a new business. I want to be able to provide my customers the service they deserve and expect.
- My name is Paul Bateson and I am the MD and founder of Metalsmith General Engineering Ltd ( MTSM-GE)
- The main aim of this campaign is to raise funds for my new start up company to invest in some of the more productive items my company would benefit from having.
- Looking a bit further forward I aim to hopefully be in a position to train the next generation of welding apprentices funding will accelerate this plan so initially I can train 2 apprentices rather than one.
- On a personal note I want to give back the same training, work ethics and opportunities I was fortunate to have. I left education with nothing and joined the Army at 17, Since then I have worked hard to be in the position I am in now.

The indoor aquarium is fairly large and has probably 50 different displays, everything from a 2-foot long lobster, without the butter, clown fish, coral reefs, to some great fossils.
From here we stepped outside and found Molly the Mollusk, a 27 foot-long giant squid, this one was found in New Zealand and had been preserved, this is the only place in the USA that you can see on of these on display, no one has ever seen a live giant squid in it's natural habitat. No pictures of it, it was too ugly. There is also a model of a 14.5-foot hammerhead shark that was caught 2006 (World record).
It was feeding time for the sharks so we climbed up to the top of the 135000 gallon tank to watch them, We were all ready for a Jimmy Buffet style "Feeding Frenzy", but instead all we got was the care takers putting cut up fish on the end of a pole and holding it in the water for the fish to take, except none of the fish appeared to be hungry. The tank itself held a variety of fish: nurse, bull, black-tips and sand sharks, grouper, tarpon, snook and redfish, makes you want to go back out to the car and get your fishing rod.
From here we had to leave and walk about a block down to their other building where they keep the sea turtles and manatee.
Hang Tough is a green sea turtle (vegetarian), he was brought to the Mote with several injuries which left him blind so now he just swims around in his tank, using his flippers as a white cane to keep from swimming into the wall. You can't touch them but you can get within a foot or so of them when they come to the side of the tank.
Shelley and Montego are their two loggerhead turtles; they were born in captivity and were part of a study in N. Carolina, when the study ended they were sent here since they could not be released into nature. There is also a few baby turtle ranging in length from 2-inches to about 6-inches.
Another favorite are the manatee's Hugh and Buffett, they were born at the Miami Seaquarium and transferred to the Mote in 1996, they are trained to participate in the scientists research so they can try and save more of the manatee out in the wild.
Most of the injured wildlife brought to the Mote are rehabilitated, fitted with sensors and returned to the wild were they can be located and studied. There is also a dolphin pool but they weren't very active while we were there.

What do you know about ionizers and ozone? I want to buy a bedroom air purifier for my allergies and I'm confused by what the different brands claim. One says that ozone is good and ions are bad, and the next one says the exact opposite. I can't find the straight story without somebody trying to sell me something.
Trusting a salesperson to give you the facts is sometimes like taking investment tips from the Internet. By the time you begin to suspect you've been misled, the checks are cashed, the company has turned to vapor, and what seemed to be an oil strike in South America turns out to be an abandoned gas station in South Dakota.
For people with all ranges of allergies, a room air purifier can be a necessity. Lots of us suffer misery from airborne pollen a few days each season, but for some, animal dander, mold spores or dust mite excretions (aka: poop) cause year-round wretchedness. Removing these specks from the air has been a challenge since their discovery. The most basic system of pulling air through a filter has been pushed aside by newer methods involving ions, ozone, ultraviolet light and even heat.
In nature, rainstorms, waterfalls and atmospheric radiation produce negative ions. Ionizers duplicate the effect through a process called coronal discharge, scattering charged particles in a radius of about 50 feet around an emitter. These floating negative ions magnetically attach to positively-charged dust and other odds and ends hovering in the vicinity. By clumping together, indoor pollutants become heavier and either fall to the ground, or stick to walls, draperies or passersby. Over time, surfaces near the unit can appear soiled if not frequently wiped or vacuumed (passersby, at least, are self-cleaning). Some new models, called electrostatic precipitators, have positively-charged, easily-cleaned plates to attract the little dust clusters, thus eliminating a potential dirt-zone surrounding the unit.
There has been a lot of interest in ion generation for air purification since some early studies showed that coronal discharge destroys both the dust mite and cat dander allergens. Research done in U.K. hospitals has shown that ionizing the air in intensive care units can significantly cut down the infection rate in recovering patients by removing bacteria from the air. In addition, Japanese investigators found that the presence of those negative ions in the air had a relaxing effect on surgical patients. Indeed, these circulating ions have been found to be useful in unlikely ways: for treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), as stress reduction in computer users, and in two Swedish daycare centers, ionized air reduced children's absenteeism by half.
However, the news is not all rosey. A recent study found ionizers had no effect on chronic asthma, which seemingly should respond to the removal of airborne irritants. Another hurdle to overcome is that many ionizers create small quantities of ozonewhich, despite claims to the contrary, is bad.
Drummed out of the cancer cure corps due to non-performance, ozone has risen again like an air-cleaning phoenix. Expensive purifying units create this highly reactive form of oxygen by drawing air across a high-voltage surface. As oxygen molecules pass through the electrical field, some are ionized and become ozone. This unstable molecule theoretically destroys allergens, organisms and odor in the air through some magical process known only to Penn and Teller, leaving behind just carbon dioxide, oxygen and water. According to dozens of scientists and the Environmental Protection Agency, this claim is not only misleading and wrong, it's also dangerous.
Ozone is a lung irritant. Even small amounts can irritate the throat, cause coughing and worsen respiratory conditions. True, large quantities of ozone are used for rough decontamination following fires or floods, but these areas are always unoccupied. In addition, the chemical byproducts that the process leaves behind may be equally unsafe. No studies demonstrate that safe amounts of ozone are of any use in controlling indoor air pollutants. Since ozone's natural purpose in the upper atmosphere is as protection from harmful rays, it should, like most politicians, stay out of the bedroom and be kept far, far away.
A mechanical purifier with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter might be a louder, but more efficient, choice for your allergies; these are required to trap more than 99 percent of smidgens larger than a virus. Additionally, the white noise made by such a filter might be a good thing, since it will drown out the sound of the guy coughing in the next apartment. My guess is he sells ozone purifiers.

A few weeks ago I was privileged to attend a panel discussion at the San Francisco Museum of Performance and Design focusing on San Francisco Rock n' Roll clothing (costume & fashion) of the 1960s: items worn and designed locally, for and by rock musicians (both locally and internationally recognized groups between 1963 and 1973). A quick word to the wise: Don't assume San Francisco was interested in tie dye or disco at this time – the participants of this panel were quick to assign responsibility (and blame) for those trends to Los Angeles and the 1970s.
The panel was led by co-curators Alec Palao and Melissa Leventon and included rock costume designer Jeanne Rose, (Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, the Young Rascals, Country Joe & the Fish); Helene Robertson (who owned the boutique Anastasia's, a mod shop in the Bay Area and Los Angeles); musician Peter Kaukonen, (Jefferson Airplane & Jefferson Starship, designed stage and street clothes for himself) and George Hunter (founder of The Charlatans, a San Francisco's band and created the look for the band). Audience members had dressed in vintage Mod and Hippie attire, contributing much to the atmosphere.

Stylin': Bay Area Rock Fashion 1963-73, opened with an introduction and brief history of the museum by the organizing curator, Brad Rosenstein, and flowed quickly into a discussion of slides moderated by Leventon. It included a number of interesting, if slightly rambling, insights by the panelists into the beginnings and development of the counter-culture music and fashion scene of San Francisco.
Jeanne Rose (or Jeanne Colon/Jeanne the Tailor as she is alternately known) was the first to talk. Her interest was primarily in designing costumes and clothing for men. The male aesthetic seemed to appeal to her – and she preferred to design for their straight lines. She felt clothes just looked better on men, but recognized the need to design clothing for women as well. As she put it, the groupies wanted her clothes too! Rose/Colon was influenced strongly by natural fibers: silk and linen cotton, handmade and hand-crocheted pieces, as well as some historical reference. Most of the clothes she sold had been made on her 1910 treadle sewing machine. She designed almost exclusively for Jefferson Airplane, but also designed for Big Brother & The Holding Company (including Janis Joplin), as well as the Young Rascals and Country Joe & The Fish. Be sure to check out more photos of her 1960s and 70s rock designs on her website.

Next on the panel was Helene Robertson, owner of Anastasia's a boutique. Robertson opened the original shop in 1961 because she had specific (and unique) career aspirations. "I didn't want to wear shoes, I didn't want to have to work until 11am, and I wanted to take my dog to work with me." Robertson said that her mother had always sewn her clothes, and felt it was a natural progression to open up a boutique. The location of the shop contributed to its continued success: it was directly across the street from an early rock club in Marin, California called the Trident (follow the link for more of it's amazing history). Robertson frequently traveled to London for design inspiration and to get her hair cut. Consequently, her clothes were reminiscent of the Carnaby street Mod's, though her store was known for both its hippie and mod styles. Robertson, and her shop were featured in a clip from a 1967 KQED documentary called Come Up the Years: Spirit of '67 that was played during the discussion.

The final two participants were Peter Kaukonen and George Hunter. Both men are musicians who also had a strong interest in clothing. Kaukonen, who created the amazing patchwork jeans pictured below, was interested in color, visually exciting garments and especially in things that implied movement and kinetic energy. The example pieces he brought in showed a strong interest in ethnic clothing, as well as an appreciation for handwork. His emphasis was clearly on craft, and it's part in the 1960s aesthetic. Hunter, who founded the San Francisco band The Charlatans, seemed more drawn to historical menswear, especially the "wild west" and dandyism (as is evident by the video below).
The evening ended with an impromptu fashion show of Jeanne Colon/Jeanne Rose pieces, followed by questions from the audience. The panel was clear in it's discussion of tie dye in the Bay Area, with Melissa Leventon proclaiming that San Francisco was a tie dye free zone and a disco free zone (as it really didn't start to come into play until 1969, with the advent of the Grateful Dead. Panelists suggested that some over-zealous journalists got overly attached to the notion of tie dye, and that "Los Angeles Musicians tie-dyed everything. Even their cats." More to the point however, was the ending comment that artists and musicians of the San Francisco Bay Area gave a generation of early rock music fans a visual identity through fashion. "People were all interested in looking like musicians."

Man killed at east Charlotte party
A 20-year-old man was shot and killed at an east Charlotte house party early Saturday and police were looking for the shooter – a man seen leaving Montezuma Trail in a dark vehicle.
The shooting happened around 2:30 a.m. Guests at the party say they heard gunfire from upstairs.
When officers responded, they found Larry Antonio Gaither of Charlotte inside with at least one gunshot wound in his side. He was transported to Carolinas Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spent much of the morning interviewing about seven people at headquarters to try to get more information.
Investigators say the shooting doesn't appear to be a random act, but they have not said why they believe that.
A suspect has not been named, but police described him as a bearded, dark-skinned black man in his 30s. He was bald, between 170 and 200 pounds and wearing a light-colored button down shirt and blue jeans.
The homicide was the 62nd Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police have investigated so far this year.
Anyone with information can speak directly to a homicide detective by calling 704-432-TIPS or can call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
Meck briefs
UNC Charlotte has taken reservations for more than 3,100 personal seat licenses for a proposed football program.
Last month, UNCC Chancellor Phil Dubois recommended the school suit up a team by 2013 -- if boosters and football fans demonstrated support by raising $5 million in six months to help build a $45.3 million stadium complex.
He suggested selling 5,000 personal seat licenses – or "Forty-Niner Seat Licenses" – for $1,000 each, just for the right to buy tickets.
Three weeks later, the school is 60 percent toward its goal.
UNCC is taking no money until trustees vote on Dubois' recommendation. That's scheduled for Nov. 13. Still, the response is well beyond expectations, athletic director Judy Rose said.
"We're talking three weeks with really no push or effort on our part," Rose said last week. "We can't roll out a plan until it is endorsed by trustees.
Mint Hill
Eighty Beanie Babies are being shipped around the world and 20 more are headed to a local children's hospital, thanks to a group from the Mint Hill Women's Club.
As a summer project, members scoured garage sales and poked through attics, closets and garages to collect as many of the small stuffed animals as possible.
Thirty-one will be shipped to a local Air Force airman who's stationed in Iraq. They will be distributed to other soldiers who will, in turn, give them to Iraqi children when the opportunity arises.
Another 20 will go to the Levine Children's Hospital to provide cheer for sick children.
Fifty more will fill Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for children in foreign countries who may never have received a present before.
Among the haul collected by more than 700 volunteers during Mecklenburg's annual Big Sweep on Oct. 4: Four rollout trash bins. A picnic bench. And a set of dentures.
The nine cleanup locations included three in southern Mecklenburg: McMullen and Lower McAlpine Creek Greenway, off Pineville-Matthews Road; Walker Branch Greenway, which runs behind RiverGate shopping center near N.C. 49 and N.C. 160; and Campbell Creek Greenway off Margaret Wallace Road.
Volunteers hauled away a total of 16,200 pounds of trash. That included 55 tires, two bicycles, a go-cart and two wicker chairs. Next year's cleanup may include a newbie: the Four Mile Creek Greenway between Rea Road and Johnston Road, which celebrated its grand opening this weekend.
Regional briefs
Cabarrus County
The search to fill a key job at the North Carolina Research Campus could last until year's end, even as the Kannapolis complex prepares for its grand opening this month.
The job involves running the Core Lab. Its speciality equipment and research space have always been touted as a major draw for the $1.5 billion campus developed by billionaire Dole Food owner David Murdock, in collaboration with eight N.C. universities.
The foundation that owns and runs the lab, the David H. Murdock Research Institute, is close to selecting two to four finalists for the job of chief scientific officer, institute President Steve Leath said last week.
At one point this year, Leath said he had hoped the foundation would name its choice by July. But he said coordinating schedules between foundation board members and job candidates has drawn out the process.
The lab, along with the UNC Nutrition Research Building and the N.C. State Fruit and Vegetable Science Institute Building, will be the first three structures dedicated at the 350-acre campus. The ceremony is set for Oct. 20.
South Carolina's first public alligator hunting season in almost a half-century is wrapping up.
Saturday was the last day this season gator hunters could head into the state's marshes and swamps. It won't be known for a while exactly how many of the state's estimated 100,000 gators were harvested.
Hunters had to have one of 1,000 available permits and could take only one gator.
Sam Chappelear of the state Department of Natural Resources says hunters must report to DNR by Dec. 1 whether they got a gator..
Department officials have estimated only about 400 hunters would be successful. The last public hunt in the state was in 1964.
Another North Carolina-grown tree from Ashe County will be displayed in the White House during Christmas holidays this year.
The N.C. Department of Agriculture said Friday that a Fraser fir grown by River Ridge Farms of Crumpler will grace the White House Blue Room this year. It's the third time in four years a North Carolina fir has been selected.
River Ridge Farms' tree was selected after the farm won the top grower award from the National Christmas Tree Association.
White House staff will visit the North Carolina portion of the farm Oct. 21 to select a tree.
Darlington, S.C.
Authorities in Darlington County say two people have been killed and a third wounded after a shooting at a party.
Deputies told WPDE that a fight at a lounge at Juniors Body Shop around 2:30 a.m. Saturday ended in gunfire.
The Coroner's Office says 27-year-old James Muldrow and 29-year-old Andre Berry were killed. Authorities say a third man was shot but survived.
Deputies say they have made no arrests, but think the shots were fired from the back of a car and that vehicle is likely missing its back windshield.
A 20-year-old mother has been sentenced to life in prison for setting up what prosecutors called the cold-blooded robbery and killing of a man for $120.
Authorities say Grady was a gang member who let Pervis Owens sleep in her house in January 2006, then had three men come over to rob the man who had once bought diapers for her children.

SOURCE: Avaya
April 04, 2017 09:00 ET
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - April 04, 2017) - A construction company that's been in business for over 100 years knows something about the importance of a solid infrastructure and the experience needed to create it. When Berglund Construction needed a new communications infrastructure that would provide the reliability lacking in its existing system and enable connections with multiple temporary sites for easier collaboration, there was one answer: Avaya.
An industry leader, Chicago-based Berglund Construction's projects run the gamut from boutiques to major renovations of iconic university buildings and Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. The company's previous, 25-year old system had become an unnecessary burden, with frequent outages and little to no features for collaboration with those working on the large, longer-term projects that require remote offices and connecting employees located anywhere.
The Avaya IP Office Platform™ provides Berglund with the reliable, scalable business communications solution the company needs. The solution serves all of its branch and field offices for projects in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, enabling administration and management from the company's main location.
With 350 employees, the company estimates that at any given time about half or more of them are not in the office. The mobile twinning capability of Avaya IP Office still allows callers to make a single call to their extension and reach their cell phone, closing the previous gap between outreach and live contact. In addition, the new communications solution has reduced costs, and boosted reliability to reflect the same qualities that Berglund brings to its construction projects.
"For a construction company, collaboration is very important. A 25-year-old phone system that we had to reset an average of twice a week simply didn't support that.
"We have a really big job site in the Champaign-Urbana area, and we're setting it up like it's another office. Instead of spending the money to have hard lines run to the facility, or relying on cell phones and hot spots, we're going to use our IP Office. In fact, that's one of the reasons we went with the Avaya solution: we knew we'd be able to utilize it at big job sites."

runcon and double-dash arg separator
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:36 EST
Like other tools, runcon needs a '--' separator between the runcon arguments and
the arguments of the command to be run. This causes confusion for some users.
Documenting the use of '--' in the man page as sudo does would help, without
needing to change the way runcon parses its command line arguments.

You can register to vote online the same way an elector in the UK does. The only difference being that an overseas elector must include their passport details.
An overseas registration lasts for a year so should be renewed annually by re-registering to vote online.

How can you vote from overseas?
- Proxy Voting If you are not based in the UK you can appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf. As an overseas elector we would advise that you apply to vote by proxy if possible. Your appointed proxy has to attend the polling station you were last registered to vote at, so make sure that the person you appoint is familiar with where you would have previously voted.
- Postal vote applications for overseas electors are now closed. If your have opted to vote by postal vote and it does not arrive in time or gets lost in the post, you cannot then change your method of voting.

Prevention Basics
Reduce Your Risk of Getting HIV
- Learn the basics of HIV. Then, make your personal commitment to staying HIV negative. Let your friends and sexual partners know your boundaries.
- Get tested regularly. You should get tested at least every three to six months.
- Know your partner's HIV status. Talk to your partner about HIV testing, and get tested before you have sex.
- Limit your number of sexual partners. The more partners you have, the more likely you are to have a partner with HIV whose HIV is not well controlled, or to have a partner with a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
- Have less risky sex. Oral sex is much less risky than anal or vaginal sex. Anal sex is the highest-risk sexual activity for HIV transmission. HIV can be sexually transmitted via blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluid, and vaginal fluid. Sexual activities that do not involve the potential exchange of these bodily fluids (e.g. touching) carry no risk for transmitting HIV.
- Use condoms...or give them a second chance. When used correctly and consistently, condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV infection, as well as other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Use a condom correctly every time you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Learn how to use condoms correctly.
If you live in Arizona, you can get free condoms at a variety of nearby locations, or even mailed to you.
- Get tested and treated for STDs. f you are sexually active, you should get tested at least once a year. So should your partners! Talk to your provider about whether more frequent testing is of benefit. STDs can have long-term health consequences. They can also increase your risk of transmitting HIV to others.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a relatively new HIV prevention method, which involves HIV negative people taking HIV medication to help prevent HIV infection. A person on PrEP takes one pill each day to ensure that the medication is always in his/her body. If he/she is exposed to HIV, PrEP can help block the virus from spreading. PrEP can reduce your risk of contracting HIV by 92%.
- Practice less risky drug use. Using drugs intravenously can be harmful, but using a new syringe every time or only using your own works can prevent transmission of HIV and other blood borne pathogens. Choosing to smoke or snort can help avoid major risk of transmission as well.
HIV Positive? Treatment is PreventionIf you're HIV positive, getting medical care, taking your medications, and being virally suppressed (undetectable) can reduce your risk of passing HIV on to others to less than 10%. If you also use condoms during sex, you will reduce your risk to less than 2%. Learn more about prevention for positives.
In Arizona, more than 40% of people who are HIV positive are not receiving medical care. This is often because they aren't aware of assistance programs that provide free or low-cost care.

Pak Foreign Office bars cricket players from visiting India for IPL auctionFebruary 2nd, 2009 - 6:29 pm ICT by ANI
Islamabad, Feb.2 (ANI): The Pakistan Foreign Office has asked its international cricket players not to visit India citing security concerns, The News reports.
According to a statement issued by the Foreign Office here, five players namely Yasir Hameed, Danish Kaneria, Asim Kamal, Mohammad Hafiz and Yasir Arafat have been advised not to travel to India.
The players were scheduled to visit India to take part in the auction of players for the Twenty20 extravanza, the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The three-point advisory issued from the foreign ministry, while hinting at the strained Indo-Pak relations in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, says that India has not given any security guarantee to Pakistani players, so it would be not safe for them to travel there.
However, the Pakistan Sports Ministry had earlier given permission to the players to visit India for the IPL auction. (ANI)

Voluntary Human Extinctiton Movementgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Running on Empty - The Coming Petroleum Exhaustion Dieoff : One Thread
And now for something really controversial. This site has an excellent tutorial FAQ on the movement. Note I do not condone or condemn, offer no opinion, decide for yourself...
Voluntary Human Extinction - overview, faq, links, discussion
-- scott (email@example.com), March 02, 2000
It makes sense...except for disapproving the one child per couple policy which would indeed cut population in half and prevent having only old people left on earth in a few years.
-- Aldo (email@example.com), March 02, 2000.
It is obvious to the casual observer that voluntarily limiting one's own progeny tends, over time, to selectively preserve and increase the genetic material of those who do not limit their progeny.
In effect, self-limiters will be selected out of the gene pool and humans will evolve into non-limiters ... unless, of course, there is some other associated factor in self-limiters that lead to their survival in greater numbers than the non-limiters.
-- Brian McLaughlin (firstname.lastname@example.com), March 02, 2000.

The petrol price was hiked today by a record Rs 7.54 per litre as rupee had a free fall, an unpopular decision that was attacked by allies of UPA government who demanded its immediate rollback holding it as unacceptable.
The hike, the third in one year, came a day after end of the Budget session of Parliament and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh speaking of the need to take "difficult decisions" on the third anniversary of UPA-II.
The decision of the oil marketing companies effective midnight tonight is the steepest hike in petrol price ever, the previous increase being Rs 5 per litre.
Petrol price in Delhi has been hiked by Rs 7.54 per litre to Rs 73.18 a litre. In Mumbai it will cost Rs 78.57 per litre as against Rs 70.66 a litre. In Kolkata, Rs 77.88 per litre and Chennai Rs 77.53 a litre.
Oil firms had twice raised rates by Rs 5 per litre – on May 15, 2011 when prices in Delhi were hiked from Rs 58.37 a litre to Rs 63.37 per litre and on May 24, 2008 when rates were raised to Rs 50.56 a litre.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee maintained that the decision was taken by oil companies as petrol is a deregulated commodity.
The government had decontrolled petrol price in June 2010 but rates were last increased on November 4 last year. This despite oil price rising by 14.5 per cent and 3.2 per cent fall in value of rupee against the US dollar.
Yesterday, Oil Minister S Jaipal Reddy had stated that the depreciation in rupee had necessitated an immediate increase in fuel prices.
But rates of diesel, kerosene and cooking gas have not been revised as a high-power ministerial panel headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and having representatives of key UPA allies like TMC and DMK, hasn't met for almost a year now.
Price of diesel, kerosene and cooking gas were last raised in June last year.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Oxford District Curriculum
The Language Arts Reading program at Oxford Public School is focused around Reading Street published by Scott Foresman. This tool helps teachers to reach students at the level they are at so that goals can be created to help them become even better. Each level of reading is progressively more difficult than the previous level. This helps ensure that when students leave high school they will have the tools under their belts to help make reading a lifelong habit.
The Mathematics program helps children become problem-solvers from the first years of school through graduation and beyond. The student learn how to communicate and problem-solve in kindergarten, as they learn how to count items and tell others how many there are by the last number they used. As the children progress, they learn how to adapt to change by being presented various mathematical topics, such as fractions, decimals, and percentages. They also learn to analyze and communicate the process that they use to come to solutions and see how they are making improvements in their skills.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Keeping Informed: Recent Oxford Educational News
- Southern Interscholastic Press Association Conference - Several students from OHS attended the Southern Interscholastic Press Association conference. While there, they competed against other schools with their newspaper and yearbooks. They also attended workshops and competed in a Quiz Bowl and a Grammar Bowl. The students came home with many awards in areas such as News Story, Review Writing and Online Sports.
- Rooted in Community - Oxford students attended "Rooted in the Community" recently. This is a student-run National Grassroots Network that encourages students to take leadership roles in their own areas. Some of the topics covered included healthier eating and improving school food programs. The Oxford students were chosen through an evaluation process by their own school which included an application and several interviews.
- Science Fair News - Seventy-nine high school students competed in the Oxford High School Science Fair. They chose topics that varied from Medicine, Physics and Botany. The top winners in each category advances to the regional level where they will face more judges that will evaluate their projects.
Chalk Talk: How to Prepare an Interesting Speech
When students are assigned a speech for class, one of the worries they have is that it will be boring. To help alleviate this fear try to aim the topic toward the audience. If a topic is about handles, try to find a different angle that everyone can smile about, such as pranks that have been done with handles or science experiments involving them. Another way to keep it interesting is to place tidbits of trivia about the topic throughout the speech. Lastly, remember that using a conversational tone of voice will draw in the audience more than stating facts in a monotone voice. With these few hints the next speech that students need to give should be interesting and perhaps bring a smile to the audience.

No Credit Mortgages
What Is A No Credit Mortgage?This type of mortgage is created specifically for people with bruised, limited, to no Canadian credit history. Let's say you move to Canada from overseas, you may have established credit in your country of origin but you have none here. Or, you have recently come into an inheritance or winnings and want to use the money to buy a home, but you have never had a credit card or other revolving loans. That doesn't mean you aren't going to pay your monthly mortgage bills on time. With a no credit mortgage, you can still receive funding for your refinance, albeit the process is different from that of a traditional mortgage where the individual has established credit.
What Is Required For a No Credit Mortgage?Since you do not have the required credit score and or any Canadian credit history, you will have to make up for it in certain ways. If you have equity in your home, you are more likely to qualify for a no credit mortgage. You can also use a cosigner, someone with an established Canadian credit history for the mortgage. This ensures the lender that if you default on the loan, someone with traceable credit will be also be held accountable. This can assist in getting a better rate and term. You may also have to create an alternative credit history from your existing financial records. This includes rent cheques, utility bills and student loans if applicable. PrivateLend.com will help you with the process.
Why Use PrivateLend.com For This Kind Of Loan?PrivateLend.com are pros when it comes to non-traditional mortgages. Because we at PrivateLend.com feel that no one should be turned down for a loan, our resources extend far beyond those of the banks. When you go to your bank for a mortgage, they will turn you down if you do not have credit. They'll try and force you to take on one of their credit cards to establish a history, and this is simply not necessary. Private lenders like us are able to get you a mortgage even if you don't have credit. We do not discriminate against potential clients. If you need funding, we'll find it for you no matter what your financial situation is. To find out more about no credit mortgages, contact us today. There's no reason that you shouldn't be able to refinance your home just because you don't have credit or specifically, any Canadian credit. Back
