The following is a statement released from British Swimming
British Swimming has announced the findings of a Performance Debrief initiated in the wake of results at the London 2012 Olympics which failed to meet the governing body's expectations and agreed medal target with UK Sport.
Swimming won three medals at the Games while its target had been five. As a result a panel of external and internal specialists was convened to review and understand the reasons behind the performance outcome.
The panel was chaired by Craig Hunter (British Swimming Board member and Chef de Mission for the British Paralympic Team), Bob Bowman (U.S. Coach to Michael Phelps and member of TSE Consulting), Thomas Lurz (German Open Water Olympic Medallist in 2008 and 2012), Conor O' Shea (Director of Rugby at Harlequins RFC and former English Institute of Sport Director) and Michael Scott (former National Performance Director of British Swimming).
"It is clear from the consultation completed that no one single factor is responsible for shortfalls in the number of medals won in London."
Overall, the Debrief report recognised the fact British Swimming has consistently delivered on all of its medal targets for senior team events since the start of the quadrennial cycle up to London 2012. It cited shortfalls in London as being the exception, not the rule, and as a result the primary focus of the Debrief was on the period post the selection trials (March 2012) through to the Games.
The consensus of the Debrief is that the British Swimming World Class Programme is broadly delivering its objectives and has the right programme elements, initiatives and systems in place.
Panel Chairman Craig Hunter explained: "Put simply, the programme is not broken and doesn't require a major overhaul or radical change of direction. However, the process has highlighted a number of thematic areas where there were some shortcomings in technical leadership, in delivery, or where systems and processes in place did not function as well as they should, particularly over the final period of the quadrennial cycle.
"It is clear from the consultation completed that no one single factor is responsible for shortfalls in the number of medals won in London but a combination of a number of the thematic issues identified did affect the performance of some athletes."
The British Swimming Board considered the Performance Debrief Report at its meeting on 30th November where discussions focused on the key appointments of a National Performance Director and Head Coach, the timing of the National Trials in relation to the year's major event, and athlete performance progression from the National Trials to the focus event of the cycle.
Welcoming the conclusion of the Debrief and the British Swimming Board's recommendations, British Swimming Chief Executive David Sparkes said: "Words fail me in expressing our disappointment with the results from the London Olympics. So many people worked so hard in the last four years but we didn't achieve our goals.
"I welcome the conclusion of the Performance Debrief and am grateful to Craig Hunter and his team for the excellent report they have produced together with the clear recommendations they have made.
"The Report gives a clear indication the overall structure and strategy within British Swimming is correct, however, we also need to make changes and some significant improvements. Both the British Swimming Board and I are committed to implementing these.
"Today we start a worldwide search for a new National Performance Director and Head Coach for the programme. It will be this new leadership team's job to drive forward these recommendations and we will look to appoint as quickly as possible.
"Meanwhile I must express my deep disappointment that Michael Scott (former National Performance Director) felt unable to continue as I felt his leadership over the past five years has been truly world class."
The Debrief process took place through September and October 2012 and followed an agreed six phased methodology comprising statistical analysis and a range of consultation activities with more than 80 stakeholders including athletes, coaches and staff.

NEW YORK (AP) -- HBO is dropping its plans to make a film on Roger Ailes and the rise of Fox News Channel.
The network had optioned film rights to work by media writer Gabriel Sherman, who is writing a book on Fox News. But HBO said Thursday that it's not going forward with those plans, saying it wouldn't be appropriate considering the network's ties to Fox competitor CNN. Both HBO and CNN are owned by Time Warner.
Until a report on the website Deadline Hollywood on Thursday, it wasn't even common knowledge that HBO was working on a Fox film. HBO spokesman Jeff Cusson says little work had been done so far.
MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski (MEE'-kah brah-ZIHN-skee) are among the producers of the shelved film.

Higher education cuts could mean tuition hike
If the governor uses his powers to reduce higher education funding, officials from both the U of M and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system say tuition will rise, and it could rise by double-digit amounts.
Both systems laid out their concerns at the Capitol over the weekend.
MnSCU chancellor James McCormick said he wasn't there to whine about the potential for cuts to MnSCU's budget. But, he found it interesting that the discussion comes at a time when the state's colleges and universities are dealing with an increase in enrollment.
"More students, less money, we're trying to be very efficient, working hard at that, and at the same time we worry about that tuition," McCormick said.
University of Minnesota president Robert Bruininks also worried aloud about the cost of tuition if the governor chooses to make big cuts to his school's budget. Robert Bruininks said if the U's share of the cut over two years was around $200 million, the U could raise tuition to make up for the funding gap.
"It would put the tuition increase clearly comfortably, uncomfortably, in double-digit territory and pretty close to 15 percent," Bruininks said.
Bruininks admitted a 15 percent tuition hike would be too much for students and their families. A smaller increase would be more likely paired with other cuts at the U. Bruininks claims as many as 750 jobs could be eliminated.
Some lawmakers question why the governor would cut as deeply as $190 million. That would take funding below the 2006-2007 level for the state's colleges, about $3.5 billion. Under federal rules, a cut that deep means the state wouldn't be eligible for federal stimulus funds that were set aside to ease the burden of tuition increases at Minnesota colleges.
The talk of double-digit tuition increases has other lawmakers, like Republican Sen. Claire Robling, asking schools to dip into their reserve funds to make up for the shortfall.
"The state is using all of our reserve balances pretty well," Robling said. "Other institutions dependent on the state probably will have to do the same thing during this tough economic time."
Officials at MnSCU and the U of M said they will tap their reserve funds, which total in the tens of millions of dollars, but they don't want to zero them out.
The higher education budget bill Gov. Pawlenty signed over the weekend contains a measure requiring the U and MnSCU to keep tuition increases at no more than 3 percent a year in each of the next two years.
But DFL Sen. Sandy Pappas said if the Governor cuts further into the higher education budget, that cap on tuition is a requirement the state's colleges should not have to abide by.
"I just don't think we can hold them to their promise and our requirement to hold down tuition increases," Pappas said. "So instead of the 3 percent increase that were promised, we'd see something significantly higher, maybe even double digits like in 2003."
In 2003, Governor Pawlenty cut about $200 million from both MnSCU and the U of M's two year budgets.
Not many students would willingly agree to a tuition increase. But the Minnesota State University Student Association said a 5 percent increase in each of the next two years would be reasonable.
Jennifer Weil is vice chair of the student association, and just graduated from Minnesota State University at Moorhead over the weekend.
Weil said students shouldn't face big increases in tuition when they're also dealing with the tough economy.
"Students are having a hard time finding employment, their savings are depleted as well as their parental support," Weil said.
The recently-passed federal stimulus bill could provide students with some relief from rising tuition. The higher education bill, as it stands, provides the University of Minnesota and MnSCU about $90 million in the next two years to hold down the cost of tuition.

Werth Full Win
Thanks to Jayson's career-best 17th homer, the Phillies came from behind for a 4-3 win over the Nationals last night before another sold out Citizens Bank Park.
Much of the attention for the night was aimed at Jimmy Rollins, at home for the first time since making his comments about Phillies fans last week.
The media came out in full force, extra writers, more TV crews than normal. Not a full media circus, but close. The "We Should Be GM's" blog promoted a Campaign Cheer and passed out flyers to arriving fans.
You can read, see and hear plenty of accounts of last night's atmosphere toward J-Roll. Boos are always louder than cheers, from my decades of experience. Plenty of fans were applauding Jimmy.
Bottom line: we got a win to stay on the heels of the Mets. Time to put the J-roll episode in the rear view mirror and concentrate on the pennant race.
Beijing Update
Four teams have qualified for the medal round: South Korea (6-0), Cuba (5-1), USA (4-2) and Japan (4-2). USA and Japan play today. Winner will face Cuba in the semifinal round on Friday. Today's loser plays South Korea the same day. Final round is scheduled for Saturday.
Minor League Notes
RHP Carlos Carrasco had a rough outing at Lehigh Valley last night, taking the loss in a 10-1 decision (6 runs, 5 innings) . . . RHP Edgar Garcia, who has struggled at Reading, turned in his best AA outing, 1 run, 4 hits, 6 innings; no decision in 3-2, 10-inning loss . . . RHP Kyle Drabek has been moved from Gulf Coast League to Williamsport. He underwent Tommy John surgery a year ago and had 4 starts this month at GCL (0-1, 2.25).

Antivirus software has taken a back seat to network security solutions that offer more than simple bug detection and fixes
Network security used to be synonymous with antivirus software. But as cyberattacks have increased in complexity and the threat of hackers and internal sabotage has grown, antivirus software has been absorbed into network security solutions that offer more than simple bug detection and fixes.
Network security suites
Red Condor Hosted Service
Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection
Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0
Triumfant Resolution Manager
Trend Micro Version 6.0 Advanced
And with good reason. Five to 10 years ago, the average bug would bring down your network for an hour or two. But hackers and rogue programmers have come a long way from denial-of-service attacks and false promises of Anna Kournikova pics. Modern smart bugs are often built by programming experts or teams of programmers in other countries who operate with impunity, have almost unlimited resources and are aiming to do a lot more than just bring down a couple of computers.
In response to the increased complexity and threats to networks and computers, traditional antivirus companies such as Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro have become reliable in identification, remediation and elimination of most of the common bugs. Those companies have also poured big bucks into armies of programmers of their own who work to anticipate the next smart bugs coming down the pike.
Each of the five products in this review was able to detect and remove bugs and cure systems, regardless of what we threw at them from the GCN bug vault. What's more, those companies' products hit their mark by detecting most issues instantaneously and fixing all issues in an overall average of 3 minutes, 50 seconds.
However, despite that common trait, those software programs are hardly homogeneous. This is a diverse group of solutions, with significantly different setups, interfaces, technologies and features.
Another twist to what is now more than just your regular antivirus roundup is our focus on layers of security and protocols. Despite what you might hear, one size no longer fits all when it comes to network security. And you can no longer just install, update and forget about it. Nowadays, a backup plan to a virus circumventing your antivirus software is recommended not only by most experts but also by most antivirus vendors. In this review, we examine companies that complement and support your antivirus software.
Regardless of how small your agency or office is, your administrators and security experts need to have proper protocols and procedures in place even before you purchase a security solution or antivirus program. Therefore, we gave extra points to vendors whose solutions facilitated the establishment of protocols on a network.
When evaluating network security, it's difficult to overemphasize the importance of ease of use. Next to making sure your software can stop and fix any bug problem, it's important to know that if something were to go wrong, it would be easy and quick to fix. From experience, we have seen midlevel bugs rip through nodes and destroy data at command centers because it took too long to find, quarantine and fix.
The next-most important criteria to use when evaluating a network security suite is the price tag. Most service-oriented technology with an agent installed on each node or network PC tends to be associated with inflated price tags, the idea being that there is a lot of software and installation with this type of technology. We rated products in the roundup that cost less than $50 per node with a grade of A in the price category. Triumfant Resolution Manager, which costs less than the other programs, is a supplement to antivirus software.
The final two metrics we use to grade antivirus or network security solutions are features and overall performance. Because every vendor's solution could handle common viruses and malware, each received an A grade in the performance category, with the exception of Triumfant Resolution Manager, which earned an A+ by far exceeding the other products in its ability to detect and remediate malware.
It's important to note that Network Associates, makers of McAfee antivirus solutions, chose not to participate in this roundup.

Story highlights
- James Moore: Sarah Palin's revival on the tea party stage increases her brand recognition
- Moore: She's a marketing machine, taking every opportunity to raise her profile
- Moore: Palin promotes tea party candidates in safe districts, never runs for office
- He says her re-emergence comes just before release of her book defending Christmas
Sarah is selling Sarah. The former vice presidential candidate and half-term governor of Alaska is a commodity of one and a marketing machine. She has created a new politics of profit.
Palin's reanimation on the tea party stage probably means no more than the other intentions she has floated but never executed. She spent almost a year of the last presidential election cycle teasing the far right that she was going to run for president. She never did, but lots of network TV interviews and speculative articles drove up her name recognition and brand identification.
And she's not running again.
Palin is re-running the same show in her home state of Alaska by hinting that she is going to be a candidate for the U.S. Senate. She will not run though. There is too much risk of failure. She's not the near-unknown who was elected governor of Alaska and then quit 2½ years into the job. She has a profile, and she intends to use it to make money, which is one commitment she knows how to keep. Running and losing is always bad for business.
Palin is a product. Not a candidate.
Politically, Sarah Palin is an opposite gender version of Donald Trump. She makes grandiloquent statements about candidacies and a future that she knows will never transpire. Trump and Palin lack the courage to run for president but have profitably monetized the speculation about a candidacy. Trump cannot abide the notion of losing, which he knows is inevitable, and he fears what that might do to his image and revenue stream. Palin is self-aware enough to realize that she has neither the intellect nor popular support outside the increasingly unpopular tea party.
So why not make a buck?
In the detritus of the McCain-Palin presidential campaign, the second name emerged as the lead act. The first nine months after her resignation as governor, at the end of July 2009, Palin reportedly earned $12 million, including a book deal, a TV show and speaking fees that were generally more than $100,000 per appearance.
It's not hard to tell whether principle is more important than profit for the failed vice presidential candidate. The tea party has been charged $100,000 for a Palin speech, and, even as she promotes support of charities, a Toronto cancer center a few years ago paid $200,000 for her to attend a fund-raiser, and the event sold out at $200 a seat. Her politics and intelligence might be trifling, but Palin appears to have evolved a very nice business model: Raise the profile to raise the revenue, mostly for herself.
And she's back at it.
Until recently, Palin hasn't been too active, except on social media. She seems to have the entire national tea party population on her Facebook page, but the TV cameras had not been showing up when she gave her bargain-priced speeches. A love spat with Fox News that kept her off the air and then back into the network's arms has left her fans confused. Donations to Sarah PAC fell off. Why was no one paying attention?
Palinians should not fear. She has seen opportunity in the tea party and its plans to beat moderate Republicans in GOP primaries. This is a nearly risk-free approach to increased Sarah-wareness.
The candidate runs, Palin speaks and rallies the initiates. She endorses, and if the campaign fails it is the candidate's fault, not Palin's; she's moved on to help in another race. But the cameras came, reporters took notes, images were broadcast, words were published, and Palin's price went up.
Timing is critical to maximizing opportunity, of course. When the federal government shut down as a consequence of tea party obstinacy, Palin jetted off to Washington to help her ideological consort, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, as they crashed the "Barrycades" at the National World War II Memorial.
Those cameras and bullhorns and journalists were there. Palin had just arrived from New Jersey, where she had endorsed the hopeless tea party candidacy of Steve Lonegan, who lost, soundly, but not without Sarah getting TV time in New York.
In business school, they teach "know your customer." Palin might have attended that class because she is promising to help tea party candidates unseat GOP U.S. senators in South Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee in 2014. The Sarah Promoting Sarah tour begins, however, several months ahead at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Foundation dinner on November 9.
In what is almost certainly a coincidence of timing, just three days later, Palin's new book goes on sale for the holidays. She has not written about the Constitution or her understanding of Paul Revere in the Revolutionary War; Palin, instead, is doing the much more challenging work of preventing further harm to Christmas. "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas," can already be pre-ordered. Get yours now. Or just send a check to Palin. She might not understand politics or policy, but Palin knows money.

Isuzu Amigo AC Compressor Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is an AC compressor?
The air conditioning compressor moves refrigerant through the AC system and compresses low-pressure refrigerant to create high-pressure refrigerant.
How does the AC compressor work?
The serpentine belt or drive belt runs the AC compressor, allowing it to pressurize refrigerant and pass it on through the system. The compressor also uses check valves and other moving parts that allow refrigerant to flow in one direction.
What are the symptoms related to a bad AC compressor?
When the compressor fails, the most common symptom is warm air from the vents. A squealing or grinding noise may also be heard from the compressor in the event of mechanical failure.
Can I drive with an AC compressor problem?
In most cases, a vehicle with a bad air conditioning compressor is safe to drive.
However, if grinding is heard from the compressor pulley, bearing failure may occur, causing the serpentine belt to come off. If this occurs, the battery warning light will illuminate, and the engine will stall due to lack of electrical power.
How often do AC compressors need to be replaced?
Failure of the air conditioning compressor is common because moisture or clogs in the system will place stress on the compressor.
Compressor clutch failure is much more common on older vehicles. In general, AC compressors tend to fail after 60,000 to 70,000 miles, but that time may vary depending on use, demand and operating conditions.
How are AC compressor issues diagnosed?
Diagnosing the compressor requires advanced knowledge of air conditioning systems. AC systems should be repaired by a technician with proper training and certification. Professional-grade equipment is used to read the pressure, and the technician must rely on hours of classroom and training to diagnose the faulty part.
AC Compressor Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for an AC Compressor Replacement is between $776 and $1334 but can vary from car to car.
How is an AC compressor replaced?
Replacement of most air conditioning components requires the complete evacuation of the air conditioning system. The serpentine belt, refrigerant lines and electrical connectors must be removed. Finally, the mounting bolts and hardware must be removed to let the compressor come free from the engine.
A new compressor will then be installed, all parts will be put back in place, and the AC system will be recharged with refrigerant.
RepairPal recommendations for AC compressor issues
Refrigerant is environmentally harmful, and should never be released into the air. Instead, a proper refrigerant recovery machine must be used.
Can I replace the AC compressor myself?
Repair of AC components should be left to certified professionals, and is not considered a DIY job.

A hue and cry is being raised by some local parents to demand that our schoolteachers list all homework, complete or incomplete assignments, and up-to-the-minute student grades online. Similarly, a mother once came to me as her son's English teacher at Gunn, toward the end of one semester, to demand that I teach her all my course material one-on-one, so that she could remediate her failing boy and save his grade.
These two demands differ in degree of intrusiveness, but are on the same spectrum — a spectrum of parental anxiety over teenagers' performance and a wish to enlist teachers in removing all flaws from that performance. Before long, there may also be requests to place course handouts online, as well as overheads and graphs shown in class, quizzes and tests, essay topics, vocabulary words, important dates in history, and conjugations of verbs. Down this spectrum lies madness.
Speaking recently to our school board, a parent said that in this day and age when he has instant electronic access to Google's market cap, his bank balance, property taxes and "continuous tire-pressure readouts," it's high time that "the critical data" of teenagers' school records should be instantly available. I shudder to think that we grown-ups may start conceiving of our kids' lives in the way we think of tire-pressure (and I don't think this dad really wants that, either).
But it may take some effort to remind ourselves that a high-schooler's performance is bound up in a four-year drama that has nothing to do with instantaneous "critical data."

Planning elements in opera
The opera house in San Francisco currently requires a Seating Element to alleviate the unfairness of some people always being relegated to sitting in the balcony because they can't afford orchestra, dress circle or grand-tier seats. To promote social equity, multi-level balcony seating should be constructed in the orchestra level, placing it in the aisles and neighboring environs, close to exit doors when possible. Visioning meetings should be conducted to give stakeholders an opportunity to provide their input and create public buy-in until a consensus is reached. Public input will again be sought regarding where to place the new, affordable balcony seating. While some wealthy operagoers who hold orchestra-section season tickets may complain, this is the fair and equitable way to approach opera-house seating. If they try to block these efforts, local NGOs stand in readiness to sue.
Some Orchestra Section season-ticket holders may complain that their sightlines are ruined — a small price to pay for supporting the public good. Every eight years, State law will require the opera house to update its Seating Element, adding a number of low-cost seats to the Orchestra Section, as determined by a regional governmental committee, which is appointed, not elected, and therefore can't be voted out of power.
Eventually, the entire opera house will be converted into balcony seating, except for some prime boxes and the first several rows of the orchestra section, which will be reserved for party officials, billionaire bankers, heads of state and visiting diplomats. Since the opera house will no longer have its current large contingent of high-priced seats, it will lose money every season. This will be remedied through a public-private partnership subsidizing the Opera House with new, equitable taxes, paid by the American taxpayer for the purpose of ensuring equity and music for all.

Mala vista?
I'm thrilled that finally the Buena Vista property — which is not a "buena vista," more like a "mala vista" eyesore — is going to be redeveloped. This is the happiest news I've heard in a long time.
Kudos to Jisser for finally making improvements on his property by selling it to Prometheus Real Estate, who in turn will be following the city's mobile-home ordinance of relocation to the renters. As far as the tenants are concerned it is very nice that Jisser and Prometheus are willing, or should I say, are "required to give the tenants money for relocating." Perhaps they could also set aside some units for low-income housing.
Hopefully the City of Palo Alto will put a spine on its back and not drag this project through the mud the way they do every project in the South of the City of Palo Alto. Again, kudos to Jisser for the redevelopment. Finally it should be a real "buena vista" in about five to 10 years.

Vikings fans flock in the fall, as do bratwurst and beer-loving tourists for Oktoberfest at the State Fair campgrounds. In winter, sports fans cheer the Timberwolves and the Wild, and snow enthusiasts ski and snowboard. Spring draws film lovers for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival, as well as baseball fans for Twins games.
Downtown Minneapolis is perfect to explore on foot even in the coldest weather; over 50 square blocks are connected by covered skywalks. Public transportation by bus or train is cheap and efficient. Look for the free buses taking passengers to and around the Nicollet Mall. The city is bike-friendly with miles of trails and bike lanes and a public bike share system.

I've always thought that in Revelation 6:12 where it says:
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair...
... that the sun would actually turn black. But about a week ago I found in Genesis:
"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." - Genesis 8:22
So I guess that won't happen. What does it mean, then?

Virginia has some collections of online records, and what is available is valuable for research. But some of the catalogs are difficult to use and there is a lack of any online vital records or other similar source material. Here is a selection of records:
- Colonial Williamsburg The Library develops indexes, databases, and finding aids; scans full text primary source documents, subscribes to commercial databases and selects free Internet resources relevant to the academic and professional studies of eighteenth-century British America and the Early American Republic. These sources encompass text and images pertaining to the social life, architecture, language, politics, trades, decorative and performing arts, and literature of the times.
- The Library of Virginia, Multi-Catalog Search This is the main access point for state government records, military records, personal papers, family Bible records, genealogical notes and charts, church and cemetery records, business records, maps, and other archival and manuscript material. Some finding aids are available online. Document images for 6,000 family Bible records are available online.
- Oral Histories in the Perry Library (Old Dominion University)Approximately 100 or more oral histories. You can access both the audio file and a transcription online.
- The Valley of the Shadow I have written about this collection before. It is a very interesting site.
- Virginia Center for Digital History I wrote about this previously. See the link above for The Valley of the Shadow.
- Virginia Genealogy A lot of general reference material but not a lot of original sources.
- Virginia Memory Virginia Memory is part of the online presence of the Library of Virginia, the state archives and reference library at the seat of government for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Established in 1823, the Library maintains vast and varied collections of print materials, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and ephemera, maps and atlases, rare books, and fine art that tell the history of the commonwealth and its people. Since the mid-1990s, the Library has digitized parts of the collections in an effort to make the materials more widely available to online users. Here is the list of the online digital collections.
- Virtual Jamestown Part of the Virginia Center for Digital History. (See above).

Even the house I am living in now has spirits. I have to yell at them at times to stop. It seems as if the one loves to slam the cupboards. I do believe there are two in this house. It's not very old, but there has been one known death in this home. The other spirit seemed to have been hiding or something, he didn't make himself known until a short time ago. My husband is insisting that it's the old owners son who had passed on not long ago from a drug addiction. He was raised in this house, so I suppose it would make sense.
Either way, I seem to be attracted to house's that are active with spirits. I love my house too much to move away. I'll live with them they have to learn to live with me.

I do not doubt your story, however you have been misinformed about Jesse James. He did not die by hanging. He was shot in the back of the head by Bob Ford on April 3rd 1882.
we were told no one died in our home but Jesse James was hung on our property we used to have an old hanging tree on our property. me and my older sister even heard a loud bang that came from my parents room when me and her were the only 2 in the house
I've been hit by mrsspookypants

So... in order to help it sell faster, me and my mother-in-law were allowed to have a garage sales in this building for the entire summer. (She checked with the owner of this building and got everything in writing). Now this building does have a haunted history to it. A few pictures I took reveal a bright orb whereas other pictures show nothing out of the ordinary. I did do some tape recording sessions when everyone was absent from the building and the tapes reveal no unusual noises nor anything. My husband won't stay in this building for any amount of time. He claims there is something "uneasy" and nervous about this building. It does give off the most unwanted and unwelcomed feeling I have ever came across in my whole entire life when I stepped inside of this place and helped my mother-in-law set up for the garage sales.
By the way my mother-in-law is a wonderful mother-in-law, but she does not and will not believe in ghosts and hauntings. It's her belief that once a person passes away, thats it. The dead do not come back in spirit and they cannot communicate with the living from the misty realms of the unknown. This is her belief, not mine. Therefore I respect her beliefs and personal viewpoints.
What I have experienced with this building is that there is this presence that makes you want to leave immediately. After I finished with setting up my stuff for the sales I leave. The history of this building is that it was a lodge in the Victorian Era, then there was a funeral procession for the town mayor back in 1900. My mother-in-law has a photograph from this time showing the mayor in a coffin displayed outside this very building and lodge members are standing on either side of the coffin. It is a very spooky photograph. I doubt tho that my mother-in-law will ever grant me permission to scan it and post it though. I would like to keep our location withheld. Thank you. - Josette

Well depends on what you call haunted ?
We can either have grounded spirits pr ones that are in visitation.
People like myself and others have many visitations where we tend to be treated like a 'one stop shop' for the spirits, whether they come to out of curiousity or need help.
If they dont have an appointment, they have to join the back of the queue lol
But seriously Id love to hear of those that come in visitation

The Forex world is constantly evolving and during its weekly trading hours there is a wealth of news a trader must keep on top of if they want to make the most money possible. Indeed, because the market can be affected by a number of dynamics, it is essential they know exactly what's happening at all times in order to avoid any unprofitable deals.
For example, let's assume the US Dollar is trading well against the Great British Pound during the first half of the week. This would be a good time to invest some money and reap the benefits of a positive market condition. However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.
Knowing the value of each currency based on various internal and external factors is crucial and the reason why FXBrokerSearch.com's Forex news centre is a vital resource. Drawing on a number of resources, our information section provides the latest information and data from which users can refine their trading activity.
Beyond shifts in the currency market itself, FXBrokerSearch.com's new section has been designed to give traders an insight into the best offers and promotions. By monitoring each of our 200+ Forex brokers we're able to quickly tell users about the latest updates and bonuses.
By compiling all this current data into one portal we believe investors will be able to make even more money in the Forex market. Indeed, thanks to our dedicated team of analysts and experts, users can find out the latest market developments as well as the best deals in the industry. Putting all this together should help everyone gain a better understanding of the market, which in turn should give them the ability to make even more money.

Washington state Republican Hastings to
retire from U.S. Congress
Send a link to a friend
[February 14, 2014]
By Jonathan Kaminsky
OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) — U.S.
Representative Richard "Doc" Hastings, a 10-term Republican from
Washington state, said on Thursday that he would retire this year rather
than seek re-election in his largely rural, conservative-leaning
Hastings is the 33rd member of the House of Representatives to
announce plans to step down at the end of 2014, either to retire or
to run for other office, according to a tally kept by the Capitol
Hill newspaper Roll Call.
He is one of 21 House Republicans vacating their seats, but his
departure is not expected to alter the balance of power in the
GOP-controlled body because his district is considered solidly
Hastings, first elected in 1994 and now chairman of the House
Natural Resources Committee, said a desire to spend more time with
his family in Washington state was an important factor in his
decision to retire.
"Last Friday, I celebrated my 73rd birthday, and while I have the
ability and seniority to continue serving central Washington, it is
time for the voters to choose a new person with new energy to
represent them in the people's House," he said.
The 4th Congressional District represented by Hastings covers a vast
expanse of central Washington, stretching from the Oregon border
north to Canada.
Sixty percent of voters in the district backed Republican Mitt
Romney over President Barack Obama in the 2012 race for the White
House. Hastings has garnered at least 59.9 percent of the vote in
each of his re-election bids since 1998.
Knute Berger, a Seattle-based political analyst, said all
indications are that the district remains essentially a safe seat
for Republicans.

But Peter May, chair of the University of Washington's political
science department, said even with the district's right-leaning
makeup, Democrats might have a shot at a turnover if they run a
centrist candidate and Republicans nominate a hard-line
"Things can change dramatically when you move to an open seat," he
Hastings served in the Washington state legislature before winning a
congressional seat on his second try in 1994, as part of the GOP
sweep that year that gave Republicans a House majority for the first
time in four decades.
Democrat Jay Inslee, unseated by Hastings in 1994, went on to win
election to another House seat in Washington state and last year was
elected governor.
"I always appreciated Doc's hard work on behalf of the 4th
district," Inslee said in a statement.

Editor's note: Crystal Wright is a conservative writer who runs the blog ConservativeBlackChick.com. She also is a principal at the Baker Wright Group, a communications and public relations firm. You can follow her on Twitter @GOPBlackChick. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- Martin Luther King Jr. fought and died so blacks would no longer be viewed as inferior but rather enjoy the same inherent rights given to whites in America.
Yet in 2014, 50 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the West View News thinks it's appropriate to publish a story about our first black president, Barack Obama, with the headline, "The Nigger in the White House."
Oh, the times we are living in.
All I could do was feel sick to my stomach when I read the headline that the monthly newspaper serving Manhattan's Lower West Side published. And it brought up the pain my family went through nearly four decades ago.
Not only is the word reprehensible but also why would an editor of a newspaper use the n-word in a headline about America's first black president?
As a black woman who is a dogged critic of Obama's policies and his presidency and also happens to be the daughter of parents who grew up in the segregated South and were called that word, I find the headline disgusting and reprehensible to say about the nation's first black President, even if the author claimed he was actually writing in support of the President.
The article, written by an 86-year-old white man, James Lincoln Collier, supports Obama, noting, "far right voters hate Obama because he is black."
"That was the whole point in this, that a great many people in the United States continue to think of President Obama as the n****r, and I wanted to make that point, that there's a substantial amount of racism still existing in the United States," Collier told CNN's Don Lemon on Monday.
I guess Collier could be a liberal but in his heart still feels it is OK to use that word to describe Obama. Clearly, no political party owns racism and that's just the problem.
For the record, I don't think it's OK for blacks to call each other the word either or for so-called black hip-hop artists to lace their music with the word like they're saying the "hello."
Still, despite all the major achievements of blacks before and since the Civil Rights movement, most notably the attaining the highest office in the land, many whites in this country have a deep-seated hatred toward blacks and will never view us as equal. They even think they are complimenting us when they call us that word. And at the end of the day, that's all we're considered, no matter what we do or accomplish.
In a pathetic attempt to defend using the headline, the West View News' editor, George Capsis, told the New York Post:
"In this article, however, Jim reminded me that The New York Times avoids using the word which convinced me that West View should."
Capsis defends his decision as wanting to be provocative and "out do" the Times. I think it's more plain that. It seems the only way Capsis thought to praise a black President was to use a racist word to disparage him.
The entire incident shows how far America has to yet to go in race relations. Remember, this is 2014.
Not 1977. That's when I was just a child and my parents had to sue the Salisbury Country Club in Chesterfield, Virginia, suburb of Richmond, Virginia, for denying them membership a private club in our neighborhood only because we were black.
It was then I learned about racism, specifically, that no matter what, some white people just hate black people for no other reason than the color of their skin.
My father (Dr. Thomas Wright Jr., an accomplished dentist) and mother (Barbara B. Wright) had moved into their dream home they had spent a year building and applied for membership to the club their kids could ride their bikes to and learn how to swim and play tennis.
But in the summer of 1977, the club's all-white board of directors voted to reject my parents' membership application. The all-white board also rejected the family of NFL all-pro star Willie Lanier. The club had no black members and no white applicant had ever been denied membership to the club.
Part of the reason my parents built a home in Salisbury was because the real estate developers of the subdivision advertised homeowners could enjoy club membership. They just failed to mention it was a perk available to "white-only homeowners."
After my parents got rejected, one of the co-developers, J. Kenneth Timmons, sent a letter to the Salisbury Country Club board of directors congratulating them on a job well-done and told them to "continue to act in the same responsible way," according to June 5, 1980, Richmond Times-Dispatch article "Club Fight Tires Black Dentist."
Like the author in the West View News, Timmons didn't use the n-word to refer to my parents in the body of his letter. But he may as well have because that's how he viewed them.
After a lower court ruled against my parents, they appealed to the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which unanimously ruled on September 30, 1980, my parents had been discriminated against.
My parents never joined the club. It wasn't about the membership. It was about respect and teaching their three children about doing what was right and "responsible."
Just before the ruling was handed down, my father was quoted saying:
"You can't believe it's 1980, and they're still doing this thing."
Sadly, it's 2014 and Dad, they're still doing the same thing, only this time to the President of the United States.

First Apple COO Tim Cook received $US12.3 million in stock for watching the company while Steve Jobs was on sick leave and now he's receiving an additional cash-and-stock bonus worth $US22 million.
It's explained that this bonus is "in recognition of his outstanding performance in assuming the day-to-day operations of the company for the period in fiscal 2009 during which Mr Jobs was on medical leave of absence". Geez. That's a nice deal for six months of pretending that he wears a turtleneck. [WSJ]

|Sung Hwan KimKi-da Rilke
The artist's book Ki-da Rilke evolved in relation to the exhibition "Line Wall" by Sung Hwan Kim. In the book, Kim engages with the work of the Prague born poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926). The first part of Ki-da Rilke features a transcription and drawings of Rilke's collection "New Poems" (1907) in the German original and on thin sheets of paper and notepads. The second part features Kim's drawings inspired by Rilke's "Sonnets to Orpheus" (1923), which are then further developed in the book's third part, which comprises an independent picture story featuring recurring characters. These figures are named in an index on loose sheets of paper.
The book is published on the occasion of Sung Hwan Kim's exhibition "Line Wall" at Kunsthalle Basel, April 17–May 29, 2011

Diana Vreeland: her divine life, told in a new documentary
More than two decades after her death, Diana Vreeland is once again a star.
A new documentary about the legendary fashion editor is hitting movie screens this month, a companion book was published last year, and fresh biographies are available.
Why revisit Vreeland? Because in a field that is supposed to be all about originality and creativity, it is seldom either.
And Vreeland embodied both.
We got some personal insights into the "empress of fashion" during a recent phone interview with Lisa Immordino Vreeland, the force behind the documentary and book, "Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel."

Head Football Coach Mike Maynard and the University of Redlands football staff look forward to joining more than 9,000 coaches from over 500 schools nationwide to support the Coach to Cure MD Program. Although the national event takes place on September 28, the Bulldogs have a bye that night and have chosen to participate during Homecoming when they host the University of La Verne on Sat., Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. The Redlands coaches are officially participating by donning patches on their sleeves during the Homecoming game to help raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Furthermore, the Bulldogs hope to inspire football fans to donate to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research by going online to www.CoachtoCureMD.org or by simply texting the word "Cure" to 90999 to make a one-time $5 donation ($5 will be automatically be added to your mobile phone bill).
The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) partnered with the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) to support their Coach To Cure M.D. project as one of AFCA's charity efforts. The AFCA is a professional association representing more than 90% of the head coaches at American colleges and universities around the country.
"Once again I am glad to help the AFCA raise awareness and support for the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy," Maynard commented. "I understand that not one entity, one strategy, or one person will be able to win the fight to end Duchenne. But instead it will take a combined effort to create change for this generation that is affected by Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy."
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in the early stages of childhood. It impacts approximately 20,000 babies born each year worldwide. Found primarily in the X-chromosome, the disorder manifests mainly in boys but has been known to affect all races and cultures. The disorder is 100% fatal, and those living with it will need the assistance of a wheelchair in their adolescence and will likely lose upper-body function altogether in their teens. Unfortunately, there is no cure or treatment to stop the progression of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and young men with the disorder normally live only into their 20s.

Adopt a Horned Lizard
Texas horned lizards are sometime called 'horny toads', but they are not toads. Although they have round bodies and short snouts that make them look like toads, they are actually lizards. The long spines on their heads resemble horns. The rows of fringed pointy scales down the sides of their bodies are varying shades of brown—sometimes yellowish, reddish, or gray in color with dark blotches on the neck, back, and tail that help them to blend into the desert. Its camouflage is its first line of defense against predators. It can also inflate itself like a balloon, making its scales stick out so a predator will have trouble swallowing it. This lizard can also squirt droplets of blood from its eyes at a predator up to five feet away. The blood contains a chemical that tastes bad to wolves, coyotes and dogs that might want to eat a lizard. NWF works to protect and recover the wild places that sustain wildlife as well as the human spirit. Adopt a horned lizard today!
