Brunswick Plantation played its third annual club championship Sept. 21-24. Dennis Radtke took first place in the men's championship flight. George Tuccinardi finished second and Lee Marsh finished third after a playoff.
Alcina Davis was first in the ladies' championship flight. Mae Drezekin was second and Grace Byrne third.
Greg Powell, of Whiteville, finished tied for fifth Sunday in the 16th North Carolina Mid-Amateur Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association.
On the par-71 Pinewood Country Club course in Asheboro, Powell shot 67-74-70—211 (-2).
Paul Tucker, 30, of Waxhaw, shot a final round 4-under par 67 to win the event at 7 under. Sherrill Britt, of West End, and Paul Simson, of Raleigh, were two strokes behind.
The top 30 scores and ties are exempt into the 2010 North Carolina Mid-Amateur Championship.
Breast cancer impacts many people in our society. I lost a dear friend to breast cancer many years ago.
June Larson was a graduate of the Missouri School of Journalism; I was a graduate of the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse. We were both stay-at-home moms and became friends through our church, where we were both active in Sunday School and youth programs.
When all of our children were in school full time, June and I began our long-delayed writing careers. We joined forces and sent out proposals on articles we wanted to write.
Nick Bradley, coach to PGA Tour players and author of "The Seven Laws of the Golf Swing," is living and working in Brunswick County.
Last week, I spent a quiet morning with Nick in the clubhouse of the Thistle Golf Club, where he is teaching. His journey to become a world-renowned teacher of the game is amazing.
Nick grew up in London, and as a boy he was a swimmer and a runner, not a golfer. His specialty was the 100-meter butterfly and he excelled at his sport.
The Beachcombers played at Cypress Bay. Low gross, Paul Michal, 77; Stu Cleveland, 79; Harry Haggerty, 81; Jim Beairsto, 86; Bob Byrne, 87. Low nets: Michal, 63; Cleveland and Byrne, 66; Ed Hennessey and Bob Smith, 68. Team two low nets: Michal, Hennessey, Fred Ortiz and Beairsto, 30-under par. Golfer of the week was Paul Michal.
There's a new golf course community called Lennon Hills right off Route 211 near Virginia Williamson Elementary School.
Driving to Southport one day, I saw a sign that read "Green Golf Course Community." I was curious, so I drove back in there, following a winding road maybe a mile or so until I saw a formal entrance, a couple of model homes and, beyond the trees, a golf course.
PGA Golf Professional Roy Pace came to Brunswick County a few weeks ago for the dedication of the Roy Pace Wee Links Course at Cinghiale Creek, home of The First Tee of Brunswick County.
Before the opening ceremonies, I had a chance to sit down and talk with Roy in the Learning Center. I came away in awe.
This is a good guy with a long history as a PGA Tour Player, a club pro, award-winning teacher, writer, president of a chapter of The First Tee in Texas, and now the designer of Wee Links Golf, a concept I believe will bring golf into mainstream U.S.A.
The Beachcombers played at Brierwood. Captain's choice was the game of the day. First at 7-under par were Hal Riebesehl, Bill Cameron, Ed Hennessey and Dennis Butler. Second at 6 under were Stu Cleveland, Fred Ortiz, Bob Brownley and Paul Michal. Third at 3 under were Bill McDavitt, Larry Bollinger and Jim Beairsto.
The First Tee of Brunswick County home course is The Golf Park at Cinghiale Creek near Shallotte. On Saturday, Cinghiale Creek officially opened a new 2-acre outdoor practice area to complement its 18-hole golf course for the youth. It is called the Roy Pace Wee Links and Driving Range.
A large crowd of chapter volunteers, guests, parents, and youth were on hand to see the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The guest of honor, and the namesake for the new course and range, was Roy Pace from Longview, Texas. He is the president and PGA golf instructor of The First Tee of the Piney Woods.
Brunswick County's Dalton Gore is going to California on Sunday to play in the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, a Champions Tour event televised by The Golf Channel.
Gore is a senior at South Brunswick High School and plays No. 1 on its men's golf team. He is an Eagle Level participant in The First Tee of Brunswick County.
This is Gore's second trip to Pebble Beach. In 2008, with Jay Haas as his partner, Gore qualified for the Sunday finals and his team finished 16th.

Crafted for commercial-grade durability, this superior quality residential rug is designed with modern rustic style and comfort in mind. High grade polypropylene backing, reinforced edge stitching, and rich colorfast dyes combine for an heirloom quality rug that will last for generations in your home. This Bounty design round area rug measures approximately 93-inches diameter, and has a 3/8-inch pile height. It is made with pride in Calhoun, Georgia, USA using local machinery. Predominate color(s): Yellow, Burgundy, Multi-colored. What makes these rugs so amazing? QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL: 6-6 premium nylon fiber, the strongest grade of carpet fiber available, is carbon-filled to reduce static electricity shock. Our colorfast, fade resistant, antimicrobial nylon yarn is the strongest available. It is far superior to Polypropylene or olefin yarn, that will crush under distress and can break. Our commercial grade construction and non-slip polypropylene backing make for a very high traffic rating. This means that you won't have a problem with shedding, unraveling, crushing or deep wear from foot traffic, issues that you would normally see in cheaper floor coverings. Soil lifting properties are added to the yarn, including safe PTFE (also used as a non-stick coating in high-end cookware) for enhanced stain-resistance and easy cleaning. These enhancements never wear off for the life of your carpet. In addition to amazing stain and wear resistance, our yarn system is tested to protect against bacteria, mold, and mildew. It is also fire resistant from sources like fireplace embers and cigarettes. BACKING: The underside is made with Loc-Bak (trademark of EnduraStran) polypropylene substructure. It gives the rug stability and lasting shape. This premium backing reduces slippage, keeping the rug from gathering around furniture pressure points or moving on bare floors. It also provides the perfect rigidity and thickness for use on top of carpeting. A carpet pad is recommended for use on hard floors. EASY CLEANING: The stain-lifting properties of our rugs keep liquids from absorbing deeply and saturating the fibers. Most spills and stains can be easily cleaned with just hot water. For more stubborn stains, most dry powder consumer carpet cleaning products will work well. Regular vacuuming is recommended.

Considering their predominantly functional and technical nature, data centers are becoming as much a product as they are a building. As a data center "product," there are opportunities for mass customization of assemblies that can lead to higher levels of efficiencies than those that can be attained by an outmoded stick-built/one-off approach to building design.
However, as data center "buildings"—which exist within a real site with a real context and real constraints—the need exists to think of the building as a system of assemblies that can be sensitively arranged to match the unique requirements of a particular location and program.
A promise that building information modeling (BIM) holds is to create a dynamic model of components which can evolve and improve over time.
To take advantage of this promise, Digital Realty commissioned SPARCH to design and model a prototypical, modular data center shell in BIM that was responsive to a range of data center infrastructure solutions that Digital Realty had developed.
As noted by our client, Steve Kundich, AIA, Vice President, Design & Construction with Digital Realty, "BIM was essential for our PBB+ Prototype development, allowing for rapid site master planning and building design. It eliminates most of the conceptual design and design development steps and allows the team to focus on localizing the design to the site and/or customer requirements."
Rendering depicts a two-story, four-pod prototype assembly with an attached common building
Designed for assembly, this PBB+ (Powered Base Building+) prototype blends the best of prefabrication, modular, and site-built construction. This branded prototype is designed for supply chain optimization while allowing for a range of solutions based on particular site or program requirements.
In terms of supply chain optimization of the major architectural components, this prototype campaign will provide Digital Realty the ability to negotiate a considerable cost savings through long-term, bulk purchasing agreements while allowing for reduced lead times for key components. The major architectural components of the prototype would include roofing, exterior precast panels, sunshades and storefront, entry canopies, and even prefabricated stair modules. In addition, the building's structural elements have been selected and designed to be simplified, repeatable, and readily available, avoiding long delays for specialty steel sizes and detailing.
From our client's perspective, these will add up to major savings on the overall project budget and schedule, which equates to a quicker time to market. "The opportunities that BIM affords for off-site fabrication allow for reduced project schedule time and cost savings," says Kundich. "We are now prefabricating major M&E portions of the project with our suppliers."
Exploded components diagram of a one-story data hall pod module
Of course, every site is unique, with its own particular opportunities and requirements. The PBB+ prototype is modular in nature, allowing for both single-story and two-story solutions. An office or "common" building module is coupled with a varying number of data hall pod modules, each with the associated electrical and mechanical data center infrastructure that Digital has developed. This planning flexibility allows the prototype to conform to sites of various shapes and sizes throughout our client's markets, while being flexible enough to accommodate their customers' unique needs.
Since the PBB+ prototype is documented with BIM, all of Digital Realty's AE design consultants can use this content to greatly accelerate the documentation of their site-specific projects, reducing the SD and DD phases of the project to just several weeks and allowing the teams to focus on localizing the design to site specific and customer requirements. Ultimately, the CD phases of the project will be reduced as well, as more construction details are developed and refined over time and added to the prototype model.
Portions of this prototype have already been incorporated into several Digital projects currently under way. The savings in cost and time in these case studies are just now being quantified. The goal is to provide a system that can be presented in conjunction with the data center infrastructure solutions that Digital has developed, as either a turn-key solution or as the basis of design for a build-to-suit data center project. Either way, the prototype approach should provide a more rapid and predictable project schedule, both in terms of design and construction, and yield a more cost effective and predictable project budget.
Individual components of one-story and two-story pod configurations
As for next steps, we can imagine setting up and working within a BIM infrastructure where the client's extended ecosystem of consultants/suppliers can continuously and incrementally improve this prototypical model, and do it in a way where the updates become a natural by-product of any given project's workflow.
Specifically, we can envision the development of a Revit Plugin that will, in concert with Revit's WAN-based Server technology, continuously sync, in real-time, this evolving library of components between all of Digital Realty's AEC consultant projects.
Similar to the product design analogy referenced above, this hybrid data center "product-building" can continue to evolve with each new "release," with all of the information contained within this ever-evolving building model, which exists within the BIM infrastructure.
This approach, and the wide network of Digital's design and vendor partners, should allow for a continual evolution of the design, with greater opportunity for innovation over a one-firm/one-client/one building approach.
We recognize that this represents a dramatic and potentially disruptive departure from the traditional design process. We as architects are ideally suited to participate in and even lead this departure and take advantage of the new opportunities, partnerships, and relationships it promises.

When I first moved to the North Country, I was bit by a bat. I felt the need to tell everyone I knew the funny and horrifying story of how I was bit, and so I started a blog. It was known only to my friends and family, and for a while I posted regularly. And after 101 posts, I basically stopped.
Today, I begin again.
In the narcissistic age of Facebook, I feel the urge to define myself to my peers, colleagues, and unknown lurkers and virtual stalkers, many of whom only know me through twitter posts. They don't know when I agree with them, and when I disagree. And I don't always know where I fall along the tangled continuum of Library Conservative and 2.0 Evangelist. In this blog, we'll find out if my dancing along that beam might make a coherent dance, or is just a recipe to fall.
If I haven't mixed enough metaphors, I apologize. Come back soon, perhaps I'll mutilate more.

Maine Emigration and Immigration
The United States Research Outline "Emigration and Immigration" section lists several important sources for finding information about immigrants. The Tracing Immigrant Origins Research Outline introduces the principles, search strategies, and additional record types you can use to identify an immigrant ancestor's original hometown.
Pre-statehood settlers of Maine were generally of English and Ulster Scots descent. They came from Massachusetts and New Hampshire or directly from England. There were also a few hundred persons of Irish origin and free blacks in Maine. A large group of Germans came to the Waldo County area in the late 1700s.
Two groups of French descent compose 15 percent of the present population. The Acadians from Nova Scotia settled the Saint John Valley after 1763. A later French Canadian immigration from Quebec began after the Civil War.
During the 19th century, jobs in textile and lumber mills also attracted European immigrants of many nationalities, especially the Irish. In the 1870s the state recruited Swedish settlers to farms in Aroostook County.
The major port of entry to New England is Boston. The Family History Library and the National Archives have passenger lists for Boston from 1820 to March 1874 and 1883 to 1943 (listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under MASSACHUSETTS, SUFFOLK, BOSTON - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION). The following indexes are also available:
1820-1874. These years are indexed in United States, Bureau of Customs, A Supplemental Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Atlantic & Gulf Coast Ports (excluding New York) 1820-1874 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives Records Services, 1960; FHL films 418161-348).
1848-1891. These years are indexed in United States, Bureau of Customs, Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, 1820-1891: with index 1848-1891 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives Record Service, 1959-1960; on 397 FHL films starting at 205656).
1902-1940. These years are indexed in the United States, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, Jan. 1, 1902-Dec. 31, 1920; Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, Aug. 1, 1891-1935; Book indexes to Boston Passenger Lists, 1899-1940, National Archives Microfilm Publications (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Service, 1944-1945, 1956; on 597 FHL films starting at 1724620).
The Massachusetts State Archives also has Boston passenger lists for 1848 to 1891. This collection includes records for the nine years missing from the National Archives records (1874-1883). The Family History Library does not have lists for the years 1874 to 1883.
Canadian Border Crossing Records
There are two types of Canadian border crossing records:
In 1895 Canadian shipping companies agreed to keep passenger lists, or manifests, of people who were in transit to the United States. These lists allowed U.S. immigration officials to inspect passengers bound for the United States via Canada. The U.S. inspectors worked at Canadian seaports and major cities of the interior, such as Quebec and Winnipeg. The manifests from all Canadian seaports and emigration stations were gathered together at St. Albans, Vermont.
U.S. immigration officials kept records of passengers arriving by train along the Canadian border in the states from Washington State to Maine. The records of Canadian border crossings into any state between Washington and Maine, including Maine, were also gathered together at St. Albans, Vermont.
The Family History Library has copies of both kinds of immigration records. Since the records were sent to St. Albans, they are called Manifests of Passengers Arriving in the St. Albans, Vermont, District. Despite the name, the manifests are actually from ports and railroad stations all over Canada and the northern United States, not just Vermont.
Border Crossing Lists may include information such as the person's name, port or station of entry, date of entry, literacy, last residence, previous visits to the United States, and place of birth. The passenger lists are reproduced in two series:
Manifests of Passengers Arriving in the St. Albans, Vermont District through Canadian Pacific and Atlantic Ports, 1895-1954 (608 rolls; FHL films 1561087-499). These are from seaports and railroad stations all over Canada and the northern United States. The Family History Library only has the manifests to January 1921.
Manifests of Passengers Arriving in the St. Albans, Vermont District through Canadian Pacific Ports, 1929-1949 (25 rolls; FHL films 1549387-411). Lists those in transit to the United States from Canadian Pacific seaports only.
Soundex Index to Canadian Border Entries through the St. Albans, Vermont District, 1895-1924 (FHL films 1472801-1473201).
Soundex Index to Entries into the St. Albans, Vermont District through Canadian Pacific and Atlantic Ports, 1924-1952 (FHL films 1570714- 1570811).
Manifests for Pacific and Atlantic ports (M1464) provide two types of lists: the traditional passenger lists on U.S. immigration forms and monthly lists of names of aliens crossing the border on trains. These lists are arranged by month, then alphabetically by port and then railway. For more information about border crossing records, see the "Emigration and Immigration" section of the United States Research Outline.
You can find incomplete 19th-century passenger lists for Portland-Falmouth, 1820 to March 1868, and Passamaquoddy, 1820 to 1859, in:
United States. Bureau of Customs. Copies of Lists of Passengers Arriving at Miscellaneous Ports on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and at Ports of the Great Lakes, 1820-1873.

Katy & John: done (for now) and amicable
E! News was the first to report that Katy Perry and John Mayer have broken up again. Click here for that post yesterday. Looks like it's true because several other outlets have now corroborated, including US Weekly. According to the magazine, Katy broke up with John, partly because they've been fighting and also because she's focused on her upcoming tour. Now that's the best thing I've heard about Katy Perry in a while. Putting love aside for work? Good.
But weren't they just out together on a sunny LA day, holding hands and shopping and maybe engaged after Valentine's Day? Click here to see. Well...let's consider the timing. They had a single to promote a couple of months ago. And it wasn't about a breakup. And that song is on HIS album.
Given his history of behaviour, is that an unrealistic assumption? Or maybe it's like how Sienna Miller described what happened between her and Jude Law. After all the cheating and drama, they had to just try, just to see. And in the end there was closure. US Weekly is saying that the split is "amicable". That's twice in two posts I've used closure today.

Death Worm Review
Playing Death Worm makes us feel like Bill Murray waking up to Sonny & Cher's 'I Got You Babe' in Groundhog Day. There's a sense of deja vu: Haven't we played this game before?
Indeed we have, in the form of Super Mega Worm. Flash games provide the roots for both iPhone games: Death Worm is based on Deathworm and Super Mega Worm is based on Effing Worms. Suffice it to say that the iPhone games are leagues better than their Flash counterparts, so the big question is which one deserves your buck?
First off, these games are much more similar than they are different. In both games, you play as a worm whose goal is to devour or destroy everything you find, be it animal, human, or vehicle. Both use Game Center to track your high scores, and both are very friendly to the casual player, with simple controls and mindless fun at the forefront.
Super mega jump!
Death Worm is goal-based. To gain levels, you have to do things like get 60 kills, or get 30 kills without taking damage. This becomes tricky once trigger happy cops and military dudes start peppering you with bullets the moment your head pops out of the ground, but it adds a thin layer of originality to the proceedings.
With each level you gain, you get to upgrade your worm by making it longer, faster, tougher, or more able to squeeze the juice out of power-ups. There are two kinds of power-ups: speed boosts and fireballs. Unfortunately, you have to grab three of the same power-up to use it, and the effects are fairly short-lived, at least at first. This is a pain, because Super Mega Worm got us used to being able to speed up and shoot fireballs at our leisure.
The graphics are also great, particularly if you have a Retina display device. They're blindingly detailed, with silky smooth animation. And unlike its competition, in Death Worm you can unlock two additional environments. Since each arena is the same size, these are mostly cosmetic changes, but we appreciate the change of scenery.
Taking it to the streets.
Unfortunately, to pack in all that visual flair, they've made the humans and animals you have to eat extremely tiny. We had to play with the screen just inches from our eyes in order to find our food. And when you get a speed boost the camera pulls back even further, making you wish for a microscope to play the game.
As icing on this worm cake, a fun little minigame is included as well. Like Canabalt, it's a high score game that moves you forward automatically and has you dodge obstacles to stay alive. We should also note that the developers promise more minigames and levels in the future.
So which is better, Super Mega Worm or Death Worm? It's a close call, but we have to go with Super Mega Worm. It's a universal app, it's hilarious, it has to-die-for retro graphics. You also have unlimited boosts and fireballs, which is always nice. However, if there's room on your iDevice for two games about colossal worms hellbent on creating mayhem, be sure to pick up Death Worm as well.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Monday responded to international condemnation over its earlier approval of more Jewish apartments in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria by announcing that an additional 1,600 housing units will now be constructed.
In addition to the 3,000 units approved on Sunday, Israel will now add another 1,600 apartments to the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, which was at the center of a previous major dispute between Israel and the US over Israel's right to build anywhere in its own capital.
The uncharacteristic hardening of Israel's position in the face of international pressure was sparked by last week's UN vote recognizing "Palestine" as a sovereign state outside the framework of a negotiated peace settlement.
Israel feels that the world's response to that stunt, which most agree was unhelpful in achieving peace, has been grossly hypocritical.
While the Palestinian motion at the UN was a clear violation of its signed agreements with the Jewish state, Israel's punitive approval of more Jewish housing in areas claimed by the Palestinians is not prohibited by those same documents.
Nevertheless, the world immediately backed off criticizing the Palestinian leadership, while accusing Israel of having dealt a "death blow" to all hopes of peace. (That despite the fact that the peace process had been conducted for over 10 years while the Jewish population in Judea and Samaria was growing.)
All major Western European countries summoned the Israeli ambassadors stationed there for rebuke, and Britain and France were reportedly considering sanctions of some sort against the Jewish state.
Though most of the negative response came from Europe, Israeli officials were convinced the Obama Administration was behind it.
"This is a masked threat orchestrated by Washington," a senior Israeli diplomat told Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper.
Following Sunday's decision to build new Jewish housing in response to the Palestinian statehood bid, Chicago Mayor and former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has launched a serious of vicious verbal attacks against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
First Emanuel called Netanyahu's behavior "unfathomable," then he accused the Israeli leader of repeatedly "betraying" Obama.
There is growing concern in Israel that Obama, via Emanuel, will attempt to influence Israel's upcoming election in order to oust Netanyahu from office. While that is a long-shot, the White House could succeed in making it nearly impossible for Netanyahu to form a stable coalition following the election.

Capital Crown Eco Management Renewable Energy Fraud Watch

Capital Crown Eco Management Renewable Energy Fraud Watch
This is a guest post written by Nick Blitterswyk, founder and CEO of Urban Green Energy (UGE).
The distributed renewable energy (DRE) industry has gone through significant changes in the last five years, as the industry grew from a cottage industry to one with worldwide revenues of $100 billion and rising. The market has come back down to earth from the highs of 2005 to 2009, when investors' bets on technology companies and manufacturers went sour as supply outstripped demand. As the latter continued to grow, profitable business models and clear leaders have emerged, and along have come opportunities. Successful IPO's have countered a lackluster clean tech investment environment, showing that there is success to be had for companies with a winning formula.
SolarCity is one stellar example: they took a pretty simple piece of technology, rooftop solar panels, and became the leading solar installer in the U.S. by revolutionizing the financial vehicles that allow customers to receive a system with no money down, at less cost than their current electricity rate, and without having to go through all the paperwork necessary to monetize government incentives. Financing provided by SolarCity is much more than a revenue growth accelerator, it's at the core of the business model itself. By focusing only on states that offer adequate government incentives, a relatively small market when compared to the global potential of clean tech, SolarCity has seen its sales, and stock, succeed. Shares in SolarCity are up more than 200% since their IPO in late-2012. Delving beyond their annual revenues, SolarCity has surpassed $1 billion in solar energy systems deployed last year.
At the opposite end of the spectrum we see companies with a strong technology background that failed to figure out an adequate business model. Take Southwest Windpower, a GE-backed distributed wind turbine manufacturer, once tipped to be the next big thing in renewable energy. While their technology was second to none, their focus on wind turbine supply, rather than on solving their customers' problems, led to disappointing growth.
Another example is solar manufacturer SunTech, which recently defaulted on its debt obligations. SunTech's management focused exclusively on their product, pushing to lower costs and finding itself engaged in a battle with competitors that ultimately eroded profit margins. Throughout the renewable energy world, several manufacturers have made the mistake of waiting for customers, a fatal decision in the face of commoditization and over-supplied markets.
Companies like New York-based UGE merge technology with a customer-focused business model. In order to reach scale, UGE focuses on specific market opportunities by looking for technological challenges and high barriers to entry. A specific example are telecom towers in developing countries, where users are most in need of cheaper and more secure energy.
We oft hear of the penetration rate of cell phones in emerging markets, but what we don't hear about is the enormous challenge involved in powering the towers that support those phones in countries where the grid is unreliable and, in many places, unavailable. In many cases, these towers are powered by diesel at a very high cost. UGE has taken a leadership position in powering towers with its technology, using off-grid wind turbines and solar energy storage. Clients include Carlos Slim's America Movil; while most of these sites are in developing countries, the company also works with Verizon in the U.S. for some of its remote sites.
UGE's technology goes beyond remote telecommunication sites. The same hybrid technology platform that delivers cost savings to telecom companies is also being used by multinationals such as Hilton and BMW to lower costs and become more sustainable. Similarly, with financial firms like TD and Citibank vying for the title of "greenest" bank, wind turbines and solar energy storage systems are being used to protect bank branches against power outages with the added benefit of assisting their sustainability efforts. UGE has achieved this by matching its technology to its business model, designing products like the Sanya Skypump EV charging station jointly with GE.
Altogether, DRE can no longer be looked at as a small industry. Counting with greater energy choices is sure to create ripples that will alter the way utilities like Consolidated Edison and Duke Energy operate. With onsite energy, companies are now able to choose where their energy comes from, and by incorporating onsite storage those same companies can choose when to draw that energy as well. Certainly some forward-looking energy companies, such as Total and NRG Energy, have jumped at the chance to expand their business and have invested in or purchased companies operating in the space. Though the dust has started to settle and the winners of the clean tech boom that ended the last decade are becoming visible, the effects of increased usage of renewable energy on a distributed scale will play out with more significant results in the years to come.

Over Labor Day weekend, the 52nd Annual Cookie Challenge was held by the Tastefully Sweet Bakery Shop. The Cookie Challenge traditionally signaled the end of summer for Millersville, but was also greeted with great enthusiasm by the townspeople. Each year, the town's aspiring bakers brought in their best-ever cookie recipes and on Labor Day, the official Bake-off challenge was held, complete with prizes awarded to the winners. Dozens of cookies were made from the ten finalist recipes and were open to all for judging. The final four winners were determined by the official judges of the event and a fifth prize was awarded to the favorite cookie chosen by the attending townspeople. This year the favorite cookie was not one of the four contest winners, a phenomenon that seldom occurred. Determine the full name of each cookie challenge winner as well as the winning place and type of cookie of each recipe.
1. Marion's cookie, which wasn't oatmeal raisin, didn't win first place. The person whose last name was Green submitted the multigrain cookie recipe.
2. Charlie Stevens didn't submit a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
3. The favorite cookie wasn't Eileen's recipe. The fourth place winner wasn't the double chocolate cookie.
4. The oatmeal raisin cookie beat Elliot's cookie by one place. Ms. Stewart's cookie, which wasn't chocolate chip, was voted the
favorite cookie of the event.
5. The person whose last name was Crofter won second place, but not with a double chocolate cookie. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookie wasn't the first place winner.
6. The oatmeal raisin cookie, which wasn't Eileen's recipe, was made by the person whose last name was Field. Sally's cookie, which wasn't the multigrain, won third place.

Hello dear Desktop Dungeon adventurers!
I've been playing the freeware Alpha build for a solid week now, and was so impressed I pre-ordered the Special Edition. After initially thinking I wasn't sent an email, I checked my junk inbox and all is well.
I've completed a diploma in Game Art & Design and have played from start to finish over 450 commercially sold PC games to date (Yes, I'm a dork. I have the list of games to prove it!). Anyways, I recognize talent when I see it. Desktop Dungeons is brilliant, for it takes the addictive structure of a standard rogue-like, tweaks the formula just enough to ensure a fast pace, and creates a game with equal parts luck, strategy, challenge, and rpg. The puzzle factor is what drew me in, as if you strip away all the rpg elements, the game is really about utilizing everything at your disposal in exactly the right way to succeed. From what I've played in the Beta so far, this has been maintained. The only game I can recall that does something similar, is a little known title called "Oasis" that plays like Civilization condensed to 15 minutes.
I don't have bugs to report, in fact, I'm not even sure if I'm posting this in the right place. What I do have is a list of recommendations from my early Beta play experience. I apologize in advance if you've already dealt with the issues I've pointed out.
1. When your character is over a stairway or shop, give the option to return the window (bottom right corner) to its standard view. I can foresee moments when the only path forward would force you onto one of these tiles, thereby removing your access to inventory and spells in battle.
2. The way items are converted could be made clearer. For instance, why do certain items have higher values than others? Perhaps assign them conversation payouts in their descriptions.
3. I can't recall exactly what line, but about the third or fourth text popup when you are introduced to the kingdom, has a line which I think is missing the letter "a." Sorry I'm not more specific, I can't recall it exactly. Overall though, your writing is both humerous and well written.
4. I'm not sure this is even possible, but I would kill for a music track when adventuring.
That's everything for now. I'd like to finish off by saying my greatest experience so far has been spelunking in a Dungeon so full of Army of Darkness references I couldn't help but smile. Great work.

Typing on an iPad is a decidedly deliberate affair. Absent a hardware keyboard, there's no feeling to the keys, no mechanical switch to the process, no muscle memory to produce words and phrase at the speed of thought. You almost have to look at what you're typing, and look again to make sure what was rendered matched your intent. Unlike a laptop keyboard, an instrument of will that simply puts character to screen, the iPad feels like something that needs to be coaxed at times, and that splits your attention between tool and creation. Jason Snell of Macworld has started exploring the differences he experiences when typing on a laptop compared to his iPad.
I'm no Oliver Sacks, but I'd wager that I'm just not taking more time to choose my words, but I'm actually using different parts of my brain when I write this way. And not only does the actual act of writing feel different, but the end result feels different to me too.
Two and half years and four-generations -- and a bit -- later, and I still find typing on the iPad more delightful and more frustrating than typing on my MacBook. I still default to my MacBook 95% of the time for writing anything longer than a few paragraphs, but I'm also not anywhere near the typist Snell is on either platform.
He's inspired me to go back and try some more writing on the iPad, however, and to try to better understand how that particular medium influences the message.
Check out the rest of Snell's post here:

This year, the University of Colorado's triathlon team won the overall team title at USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championships in Tempe, Ariz., for the fifth year in a row, making it a total of 15 national championships.
"We're happy as always," said team president Jesse Frank. CU also came in first for the men's overall title, and second for the women's overall title. "It definitely doesn't get old."
The student-run club sports team won by 21 points this year, a big leap from the two-point lead they had last year.
"We were definitely confident," said Frank. "But we knew these other teams would be coming guns blazing at us, winning four years in a row... people definitely want to beat us."
However, despite the competition, Frank said the atmosphere at nationals is always supportive.
Sophomore Rachael Lenz said the key to the Buffs' success was consistency.
"We have a lot of fast people," she said. Lenz placed sixth overall, beating her personal record by two minutes. "But everyone is also really dedicated (with) putting in the time to train."
The CU triathlon team also had some impressive individual accomplishments along with its overall team win.
Sophomore Rudy Von Berg, 20, won the individual male championship this year.
"At transition I was with one guy," said Von Berg. "We were together for a few minutes and then I just decided to go for it. I was gaining on him and he was doing pretty good for awhile, but he fell behind."
Von Berg, who began racing triathlon 10 years ago, won by 1 minute and 30 seconds. His hard work paid off, as he said he trained 24 hours a week this year.
"Every year I've been increasing my training," Von Berg said. "Just training as much as I can without getting sick. I want to become a professional."
Even though Von Berg had personal win to be proud of, he said the most memorable part of nationals the Buffs winning as a team for another year.
Lenz agreed.
"We weren't sure if we were going to win," she said. "When the numbers started adding up — just knowing that we had pulled it all together again — that was the best moment."
Frank said one of the major challenges the team faced this year was the transition to a new head coach, but Lenz said the assistant coach, Dave Sheanin, stepped in as interim coach to help the process run smoothly.
"We were able to keep the same rhythm and training going," said Lenz.
Now that nationals are over, new head coach Brad Seng has taken over for the Buffs.

One reason naturopaths (NDs) are held in low regard is their historical opposition to immunization. Some naturopaths now claim that this opposition "does not reflect the current view of NDs trained in accredited schools." [1] However, a close look indicates that opposition is still widespread.
Background History
Naturopathy attributes illness to the violation of "natural laws" and claims that standard medical practices merely suppress symptoms. Benedict Lust, who brought naturopathy to the United States and was its most influential advocate during the first half of the 20th century, was strongly opposed to vaccination. His Universal Directory of Naturopathy, published in 1918, states:
The contemporary fashion of healing disease is that of serums, inoculations and vaccines, which, instead of being an improvement on the fake medicines of former ages are of no value in the cure of disease, but on the contrary introduce lesions into the human body of the most distressing and deadly import. . . .
To understand how revolting these products are, let us just refer to the vaccine matter which is supposed to be an efficient preventive of smallpox. Who would be fool enough to swallow the putrid pus and corruption scraped from the foulest sores of smallpox that has been implanted in the body of a calf? Even if any one would be fool enough to drink so atrocious a substance, its danger might be neutralized by the digestive juices of the intestinal tract. But it is a far greater danger to the organism when inoculated into the blood and tissues direct, where no digestive substances can possibly neutralize its poison [2].
Lust's rant against vaccination was part of his more general disbelief that microorganisms cause disease, a fact that had been discovered by 19th century innovators such as Pasteur, Koch, and Lister. This germ theory -- perhaps the most important medical discovery every made - became the cornerstone of medical and public health efforts that ultimately saved billions of lives. However, it refuted the naturopathic view that individuals brought disease upon themselves through their own bad behavior, which naturopaths refer to as the "real cause of the ailment." It would be interesting to know how Lust would regard the fact that vaccination has eradicated smallpox worldwide.
Lust's views were not just an anomaly of his time. In 1968, the National Association of Naturopathic Physicians presented materials to the U.S. Public Health Service during an unsuccessful an attempt to gain inclusion under Medicare. Cited in those materials was a 1948 textbook, Basic Naturopathy, which stated:
A good case of smallpox may rid the system of more scrofulous, tubercular, syphilitic and other poisons than could otherwise be eliminated in a lifetime. Therefore, smallpox is certainly to be preferred to vaccination. The one means elimination of chronic disease, the other the making of it. . . .
Naturopaths do not believe in artificial immunization [3].
About 20 years ago, a study of naturopaths in Washington found that "many were opposed to routine immunization because they felt the procedure was unnatural, unnecessary and elitist." [4]
More Recent Views
The 1991 American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) Position Paper on childhood vaccinations, which is still in force, exaggerates the risks and says nothing about the benefits [5]. Its overall message suggests that vaccinations are dangerous and unnecessary and that parents should be encouraged to avoid them:
WHEREAS the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) is a strong proponent of preventive medicine and of the protection of children and adults from the serious consequences of infectious disease;
WHEREAS naturopathic physicians, as primary care providers, are morally obliged and legally mandated to uphold and carry out the public health laws and should be authorized to administer vaccinations in all jurisdictions where naturopathic licensure is available;
WHEREAS all physicians are ethically obliged to give parents accurate and current information on both the benefits and risks of childhood vaccinations, i.e., parental "informed consent," such as required by the public health clinics of the United States Public Health Service; and,
WHEREAS it is well documented that some of the current childhood vaccinations have been associated with significant morbidity and are of variable efficacy and necessity.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that it is the position of the AANP that. . . .
IV. All physicians should respect that the parents or guardian have both the responsibility and freedom to decide within the range of options provided for by state law whether or not their children should receive vaccinations [5].
Naturopathic Medicine: Treating the Whole Person, written by Roger Newman Turner, N.D., D.O., M.R.D., B.Ac., a prominent British naturopath, states that "the principle of vaccination, according to the naturopathic principle of unity of disease, evades the primary factors responsible, which are usually environmental and nutritional" and that "while anxiety [about vaccination] has been centered around the the more immediate hazards . . . here is a concern that the long term effects on overall immune reserves may be undesirable." [6]
In 1992, consumer health activist Kurt Butler reported the following:
Some naturopaths espouse an "immunization kit" containing homeopathic solutions and pills that supposedly protect against polio, measles, pertussis, tetanus, and other lethal diseases. The Academic Dean of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Jared Zeff, N.D., said, in reference to such products, that some naturopaths give conventional vaccines and some give homeopathic pills that "stimulate the immune system." [7]
The first edition of the Textbook of Natural Medicine, a 2-volume looseleaf set issued inj1985 and updated periodically until 1996, contained a chapter called "Vaccinations and Immune Malfunction," written by Harold E. Buttram, M.D., author of a book by the same name [8]. We do not have this chapter available, but in other writings he blames immunizations for autism, Crohn's disease, ADHD, and many other health problems. He denies that immunizations have been effective, other than for polio and smallpox. He also warns against water fluoridation, argues that "food allergies" are the cause of numerous physical and behavioral problems, and claims that "toxins are everywhere."
The naturopathy textbook is significant because it was the most prominent naturopathic textbook (and perhaps the only one) during the decade in which it was in print and its co-editor, Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., is considered naturopathy's most prominent educator and spokesperson. The textbook's second (1999) edition lacks Buttram's chapter but still includes the negative comments by Benedict Lust mentioned in the beginning of this article [2]. Moreover, Pizzorno's 1996 book Total Wellness contains a 3-page attack on immunization that he says is mainly condensed from Buttram's chapter. This section states:
The 1994 issue of the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine contains five papers that regard vaccinations negatively.
Linda Rector Page, N.D., whose book Linda Page's Healthy Healing is now in its eleventh edition, provides this answer to the question, "Should you vaccinate your child?"
It depends on the vaccination -- some have serious side effects for sensitive individuals. . . . Medical literature from the last 70 years shows a high incidence of vaccination-related injuries and deaths. . . . My own sense is that most vaccines unnaturally stimulate and imbalance the immune system, eventually allowing many more immunological disorders like M.S., lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, candida and herpes infections [16]
No studies have investigated the effect of naturopathic attitudes on the actual incidence of non-adherence to rational immunization regimens. However, a recent survey of Massachusetts naturopaths found that only 20% (3 out of 15) would recommend childhood immunizations to parents [17].
The field of naturopathy has demonstrated a continuous pattern of opposition to immunizations. Some naturopaths who write about the subject are completely negative. Those who present both positive and negative ideas invariably emphasize the negative. Its leaders realize that opposition to immunization could damage their credibility when they lobby for passage of licensing laws or other legislative recognition [14]. Those who say they advocate "parental choice" fail to mention the extent to which they and their colleagues portray immunization as unnecessary and dangerous.
To be credible, any assertion that naturopaths favor immunization would require a formal change in the AANP position paper and a dramatic shift in the literature emanating from the field. Unless that happens, any such assertion should be considered a dishonest attempt to curry favor with legislators.
Dr. Atwood, who practices in Newton, Massachusetts, is board certified in anesthesiology and internal medicine. He is also his state medical society's representative on the Massachusetts Special Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medical Practitioners, an ad hoc group whose purpose is to inform state legislators about naturopathy.

BURBANK, Calif. – The word "originality" is a sensitive one for Kevin Feige.
The ebullient president of Marvel Studios – who endorses the statement, "This is a great time to be a comic book geek" – arguably has more influence on the multiplex marquee than any person alive. And the fact that this contribution consists of various incarnations of The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor is where the O-word figures in.
"We think that all of our movies are original in their own way," says Feige, who has produced movies with a combined $8 billion in box office. "Even if there's a part three, like Iron Man 3 last year, it's as original as a part three can be."
But there's original and there's original. Which is where Guardians of the Galaxy comes in.
One of Marvel Comics' lesser-known titles, at least among the general public, Guardians is a motley Avengers-in-space, whose ranks include a mutant raccoon named Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), his ambulatory-talking-tree best friend (voiced by Vin Diesel, with dialogue that consists of only three words, "I am Groot"), a brute named Drax (WWE wrestler Dave Bautista) and a green-skinned alien assassin named Gamora (Zoe Saldana, best known for playing a blue-skinned alien in Avatar).
Leading these oddballs in their attempt to prevent a malevolent alien from seizing a cosmic powerball (and with it, control of the galaxy) is Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a.k.a. Star-Lord, who was abducted from Earth as a child and became an interstellar bandit. His prize possession: a Walkman full of '70s tunes that are the movie's de facto soundtrack.
So yeah, let's call Guardians of the Galaxy original. "I'm glad you brought that up," Feige says of the O-word. "The real reasons to bring this movie out now was to expand our universe and respond to a call for something more original. We're always pushing expectations of what a Marvel movie is. But it doesn't get pushed any further than this movie – to the other side of the galaxy.
"They're characters most people have never heard of. But when I think back to when I was watching movies, I'd never heard of RoboCop before I saw RoboCop. I'd never heard of Jaws, never heard of Close Encounters, never heard of Luke Skywalker or Marty McFly. I'd never heard of any of those until I saw them at the movies. And then I became obsessed and a huge fan. Everything is original at some point."
Of course, die-hard comic book/genre fans can't pony up a billion dollars of box office on their own. So there is a question of whether the general public will respond to this tongue-in-cheek intended-franchise without the built in cachet of a Captain America or an Iron Man.
"Ultimately, I think just because people may not have any preconceived idea of who these people are shouldn't matter," Feige says. "Hopefully, the posters are entertaining. Hopefully the trailers are entertaining. Hopefully that Marvel red block logo gives you some idea."
And as Feige likes to point out, "when we announced Iron Man and Thor and Capt America, the press called that 'the B team.' As in, 'Marvel doesn't have X-Men and Spider-Man, so they're calling out the B team.'"
Which brings you to one of the confounding issues surrounding Feige's dream of a "Marvel Cinematic Universe." Though Disney owns Marvel and most of its characters, three big fish are owned by other studios – Spider-Man by Sony, the X-Men and Fantastic Four by Fox.
In his time, Feige has worked on those franchises too. His introduction to Marvel came in Toronto, when he was an associate producer on the first X-Men movie. It was where he first absorbed the notion that small-scale/indie filmmakers (Bryan Singer on X-Men, Sam Raimi on Spider-Man) might make better superhero directors than so-called "action" directors would.
It's a lesson on display this year after he hired the Russo brothers, best known for TV's Community, to direct Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
For its part, writing and directing Guardians of the Galaxy fell to James Gunn, creator of the cult horror film Slither, and the 2010 indie film Super, with Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page.
"You really need somebody who can create an ensemble," Feige says. "Some of my favourite scenes in this movie, and in The Avengers, are when the characters are just sitting talking. There's a scene in this film when they ask what Peter Quill's plan is. And he says, 'I have part of a plan, I have 12% of a plan.' That scene could be out of an independent comedy. It just happens to take place on a spaceship with characters with a lot of makeup – and a couple of characters that weren't there on set and had to be produced with some very expensive computer graphics," he adds with a chuckle.
On one hand, Feige says, "the best compliment I've heard about Guardians is that it seems like a stand-alone movie." On the other, there are a couple of characters that have been referenced in other Marvel movies.
"There's always that opportunity for things to cross over," he says. In this film, Benicio del Toro's character is The Collector, who made an appearance last year in the tag scene of Thor: The Dark World. There's (the galactic villain) Thanos who makes a brief appearance in this film, who was last seen turning around and smirking at us at the very end of The Avengers."
As for an end to the inter-studio Marvel rivalry, Feige says, "I don't think it's impossible. I just don't think it's likely anytime soon."
In the meantime, there are loopholes, as when X-Men characters Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were introduced in an "Easter Egg" scene at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Quicksilver was also in X-Men: Days of Future Past this year. There are some very rare characters – Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch among them – that cross over.
"They're very much a part of the Avengers family and they're very much a part of the X-Men family. We split them. It's an agreement. They (Fox) have everything that relates to them in terms of them being mutants and their father being Magneto. We have everything that relates to them as them being Avengers.
"I don't sit at that table. But business affairs people have."

When the good people from Bank Adanim approached us last summer, it was a small and quiet old fashioned bank specializing in mortgages and competing with the mortgage departments of the giant banks in the country.
We looked for new ways to turn this down side to an up side and offered them to position the bank as the only Private Bank in the mortgages category.
A Private Bank which is open for all, no matter how big or small their account is.
The new positioning launched an entirely new approach which led to some exciting and innovative products such as Dynamic Mortgage, brand new internal design of branches, face lift to web site, unique customer relations and advertising campaign.
Here are some examples, designed by our dear friends at Dear:
1. New logo
2. Mortage in a Box , a special kit including all the relevant documents of the loan
3. Survival for the big move :
4. Rates calulating tool:
5. Direct mail:
6. Ads and posters

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler and the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency (JPA) today announced that work on the new Pinnacle Bank Arena has been suspended until Tuesday, December 27 because of an issue with the reinforcing steel or "rebar" from the supplier. The delay is necessary because it will take about one week for the replacement rebar to be fabricated and delivered by the supplier, Drake-Williams of Omaha. The Pinnacle Bank Arena is being built by Mortenson Construction-Hampton Enterprises.
The Mayor said the design and construction team discovered the problem in the normal course of construction when a couple of the bars failed. The team determined that the rebar was improperly bent in the fabrication shop. Because the failure was unusual, the rebar was sent to an independent lab, and preliminary testing showed that the rebar did not meet the required specifications.
"Everyone at some point has purchased a product from a store that did not work properly. Just as you would return the product and ask the store to make it right, the City and the JPA will be asking the rebar supplier to make it right. You can count on that," Mayor Beutler said. "Mortensen and Hampton assure that this will not impact the completion date or increase the costs of the Arena. We are still on time and on budget."
No one was injured as a result of the rebar problem. The project's structural engineers, Buro-Happold and DLR, as well as other firms have already begun an analysis to determine how much of the completed work will need correction. When construction resumes Tuesday, workers will focus on building new portions of the foundation with the correct rebar.
"Our team uncovered this problem in the early structural phase of construction. It would have been a much greater problem if discovered in a later phase," Beutler said. "They are to be commended for their quick action. Mortensen and Hampton have made worker safety and the structural integrity of the Arena their top priorities."

Toyota FJ Cruiser Road Trip - An FJ in Four CornersPosted in Events on May 1, 2008
If the proof is in the pudding after an afternoon in the kitchen, then the proof is in the driving after spending time building a vehicle. This Smurf-blue FJ Cruiser has been accessorized using simple bolt-on items that add to its off-pavement worthiness. All-Pro suspension, rock sliders, and bumpers provide a smooth ride and protect the sheetmetal. All-Pro-installed 4.56 differential gears compensate for the 33-inch Nitto Dune Grappler tires mounted to Walker Evans Beadlock wheels. A Warn 9.5 XP winch spooled with a Master-Pull line makes self-recovery simple and safe, if needed. Except for the differential gears and alignment (after installing the suspension), all of these upgrades can be installed at home in a driveway.
It was time to get out of town. This same 'Cruiser had already survived the 2007 Moab Easter Jeep Safari in fine style, including runs on Hell's Revenge and Fins 'n' Things. While pointing the grille at another series of pucker-inducing trails was tempting, the call for a road trip screamed louder. Instead of sticking strictly to one theme or the other, we combined the two into a dual-sport experience. Pavement and dirt combined with scenery added up to a great adventure.

A Cresco man active on several community boards is accused of beating his brother-in-law and pointing a gun at him over the possible end of his marriage, according to court records.
A Cresco man active on several community boards is accused of beating his brother-in-law and pointing a gun at him over the possible end of his marriage, according to court records.
State police in Swiftwater said George K. Strunk, 38, a member of the Pocono Mountain School Board, punched and kicked his brother-in-law, Gregory Oney, on May 23. The beating left Oney with a broken ankle and a separated shoulder, according to court records.
Following the beating, Strunk allegedly pulled out a .45-caliber handgun and pointed it about one foot from Oney's face and said "No one is going anywhere," according to a police affidavit.
The affidavit states that after holding Oney for about three to five minutes at gunpoint, Strunk let his wife, Debra Strunk, and Oney leave the home. Court papers did not indicate whether the gun was loaded.
Strunk is free after posting $5,000 bail. Court records show that Strunk's bail was posted by David Crosby Jr., pastor at Pocono Community Church in Mount Pocono.
Strunk was charged Friday with aggravated assault, a felony. He also faces three charges of simple assault and two charges each of terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and recklessly endangering another person.
Strunk declined comment Tuesday, directing questions to his lawyer, Brandon Reish. Reish said police have information and evidence that Oney started the fight. No charges have been filed against Oney.
Reish said there hasn't been any decision over whether Strunk would resign from any of the community boards on which he serves as a volunteer.
In addition to sitting on the Pocono Mountain School Board, he's also chairman of the board of the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport Authority and assistant treasurer of the Pocono Mountains Economic Development Corporation.
"We'll have to talk about that," Reish said.
Reish also said it is unknown whether Strunk will be at tonight's school board meeting.
There is no specific language in the district's school board's policy about removing a member for an arrest or a conviction. However, there is language that requires a member to be of "good moral character."
According to police, Strunk came home around 4 p.m. May 23 to find his wife and brother-in-law having an "open conversation" about the possible end of Strunk's marriage.
He then charged at Oney, police said, punching him in the head, and the two fell to the floor. Strunk got up and kicked Oney in the abdomen, police said.
Strunk's wife got in between the kicks, and got kicked herself at least twice, she told police.
One of the witness accounts in the affidavit states Strunk then kicked Oney in the head. According to Oney's witness account, he said Strunk kicked him in the head three times.
Strunk then backed up and pulled a gun from his waistband, pointing it at Oney's head, police said.
Oney and Strunk's wife begged to leave, saying the fight was over. Strunk said, "This is not over until I say it's over," according to the affidavit. When he finally let them go, Strunk's wife drove Oney to the hospital.

Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.
