Hazen 75th Anniversary Book 1913-1988
Hazen 75th Anniversary Book 1913-1988, Hazen, North
Dakota, 1938
The Ghost Towns That Became Hazen
In the closing years of the 19th Century, three towns sprang up in the rural area that became part of Hazen. Now they are ghost towns, phantoms of a bygone age and vanished dreams.
Mannhaven was the first of the three, founded in 1896. Krem and Expansion became towns in 1899, though Krem had existed a few miles away as a post office on the Carl Semmler farm since 1888.
Mannhaven and Expansion were river towns in an era when the Missouri was the liquid highway to the Northwest, when riverboats continued to supplement the services of distant railroads. Krem held faint hopes that perhaps the railway branch line from Mandan might continue northwestward from Stanton to pass through on its way to its projected destination in Sidney, Mont.
The founders of Mannhaven were Henry Mann of New Salem and two farmers living near the Missouri, Jacob Bohrer, Sr., and Fred Bohrer. They organized a stock company, erected a store building and warehouse, and built the steamboat "Bismarck," to haul grain down the Missouri. Subsequently a lumberyard and grain warehouse were built; John Wee put up a blacksmith shop; John Young established the "Mannhaven Journal." a weekly newspaper.
In 1903, Dr. L.G. Eastman arrived in Mannhaven to set up a practice and to provide medical care to Indians on the nearby Ft. Berthold Reservation.
Next came the Mercer County State Bank, organized by Adam Sailer, Sr., Fred Bohrer, and H.L. Benschoten. E.M. Thompson was the cashier. Adam Sailer, John Sailer, and Michael Zeiszler opened "The New Store."
After the railroad reached Hazen in 1913, Mannhaven began to decline. By the 1980s, a lone cottage remained to mark what once had been a busy river port.
Expansion also owed its beginnings to New Salem man, John Bloodgood. He and Jacob Kruckenberg built the steamboat "Expansion" with the financial assistance of farmers in the area. C.B. Heinemeyer's History of Mercer County relates that Miss Kathryn Gallagher christened the boat with a bottle of real champagne.
Henry Sagehorn came from Ft. Yates, where he had been in charge of a soldiers' canteen, to establish Expansion's first store. He also served as postmaster following Jacob Kruckenberg, Expansion's first postmaster. John Bohrer, Sr., later bought the Sagehorn store and erected an elevator. In 1905, the I.P. Baker interests of Bismarck established a lumber yard. John Bohrer, Jr., became manager. A year later the lumber yard was taken over by Benjamin Stoelting. In time, the town also fell victim to the railroad and was abandoned more than two decades before it was inundated by Lake Sakakawea in the early '50s.
Krem was the German-Russian nickname for the Crimea. In 1888 it became the name of Mercer County post office, and in 1899, the name of the town. It owed much of its growth to a 50-barrel-a-day flour mill built was rebuilt the same year and continued its reputation for quality milling.
Krem's real growth began in 1902 when Martin Netzer built the first general merchandise store. The following year, William Richter opened a second general merchandise store, leading to spirited competition, and attracting trade from a wide area.
When the courthouse in Stanton was destroyed by fire in1905, Krem became a favored contender for the county seat, outpolling Stanton 236 to 136, but failing to get required two-thirds majority. Krem's confidence in the outcome was so great that community leaders had had the new courthouse vaults delivered to Krem via Garrison.
Despite the defeat at the polls, Krem's growth continued. Dr. L.G. Eastman moved to Krem from Mannhaven, leasing Fritz Uhl's building, which up until then had served as a pool hall and "blind pig." Eastman converted it into a medical office and drugstore. Later it was one of the first buildings moved from Krem to Hazen where it continued to serve for several months as a doctor's office and drugstore.
Two newspapers had their beginning in Krem. The German American, founded in April, 1912, a few months later moved to Kasmer and ultimately became the Golden Valley German American. In September, 1912, The Mercer County Star was established by W.P. Thurston and J.C. Schleppegrell, and was published in Krem a little more than a year before moving to Hazen where it became the Hazen Star.
There were two banks: The Citizen's State Bank had Louis Scharf as cashier, and C.N. Janzrn as assistant cashier. The Farmers Bank of Mercer County had R.N. Harmsen as its cashier.
Otto Krause and Ed Doherty operated pool halls. Martin Netzer added several rooms to his residence, providing hotel services. Shortly afterwards Mrs. E.E. Searle became operator of a second, more conventional hotel. Frank Wernli owned and operated the Knife River Lumber and Grain Company; John Keierleber had a livery stable. Adolph Krueger, Sr., opened a blacksmith shop; Emanuel Schwalbe started a meat market, subsequently run by Gottfried Schulz, followed by Fred Trunske. Krem was booming, but the boom came too late.
In the fall of 1913 the Northern Pacific's branch line reached Hazen, marking the beginning of the end for Krem. Its population peaked early 1914 at around 300. The last inhabitants left Krem in 1941.
Hazen's German-Russians
No ethnic group has had a greater impact on Hazen than the German-Russians.
Some writers refer to them as Germans from Russia; some as the Russians-German, a direct translation from the "Russlandduetsche." But in the Hazen area the term German-Russian is so traditional that other terms seem unnatural. They were Germans who migrated to Russia and lived there for nearly a century before many of them migrated again, this time to the United States.
Most of the German-Russians in the Hazen area originally came from the southwestern Germany—Schwabians from Wurtemburg, Pfalzer from Palatinate—and settled in the Black Sea area of Russia, primarily in Bessarabia and Crimea.
They had been lured to Russia by offers of land, freedom from conscription, and the right to maintain their own customs and traditions. For nearly a century they did well in Russia, but although they became Russian citizens, they never became Russians. They clung fiercely to the German language, to their religion, and to their customs. They maintained a steadfast separation from the Russian people, rarely intermarrying, staying within their own communities, and while the German language underwent change in Germany over the years, the language the German-Russians spoke when they came was essentially the German of 100 years earlier.
It was the good fortune of the German-Russians that at about the time conditions in Russia were becoming intolerable, the Great Plains in the United States were being opened to settlement and agriculture.
Land agents, the railroads, and homestead opportunities combined to paint a picture of an American Garden of Eden. Many northern Europeans already had become disillusioned with this land of opportunity when they found the semi-arid land was not what they had expected. But for the German-Russians, it was like home. The Great Plains offered the kinds of terrain and rainfall they had in South Russia. Much of the homestead land was gone by the time they reached the United States. Only the two Dakotas still had extensive lands available, so it was no accident that the largest numbers of German-Russians settled here.
The patterns of migration were predictable. Families, relatives, and friends followed each other to the United States and to the Dakotas. The German-Russians were realists. In their letters home they tended to tell it like it was, but in view of their familiarity with the conditions existing in the Dakotas, the stream of immigrants continued.
The pattern of migration to the Hazen area was fairly consistent. The new arrivals most often came first to an area southeastern Dakota Territory, around Yankton and Scotland.
So it happened in May, 1886, an expedition of German-Russians left Scotland and headed northwest in the direction of Bismarck, Dakota's territorial capital.
Thirty wagons carried five families and their possessions. Leading the group were Daniel Schimke and William Priebe who had left Elgenheim, South Russia, the previous year. With them were John Suess, Sr., William Richter, and Robert Lauf, and their families.
Heinemeyer's History of Mercer County relates how they traveled:
"Each member of the party had a strong, high-wheeled wagon, covered with canvas tarpaulin. Each had two sturdy oxen, necessary cooking utensils, bedding, some tools, and a hand plow. Daniel Schimke also possessed two ponies and a compass.
"Their route lay through Mitchell, Aberdeen, and Williamsport, to Bismarck. They crossed the Missouri River on a ferry to Mandan. Then they followed the Northern Pacific Railway Company's right-of-way as near as possible to Hebron."
In Hebron they saw wagon loads of buffalo bones and learned the bones sold for $6 to $10 a load, so they set up a camp north of Hebron and began collecting.
It was while they were engaged in this enterprise that they encountered H.C. Loy of Stanton, the county assessor, and Steve Card, county surveyor. They traded some bread for part of a deer Card had shot, and learned from Loy that there was plenty of good land north of the Knife River not far from Stanton. Loy pointed them in general direction, and a few days later Schimke and Richter started out, taking along the compass.
In their struggle to retain the German language, the immigrants usually had their pastor conduct German classes for a month or so after public school vacations began each spring. As a result, classes had strong religious overtones; much of the instruction was from the Bible and catechisms.
The greatest difficulty for many came when the United States entered World War I, and German became an enemy language. Bitter confrontations arose. Patriotism was brought into question, complicated by a residual loyalty to Germany.
The Hazen Star reported an incident in which three young men vandalized a schoolhouse, among other things tearing down some red, white, and blue bunting draped over a picture of George Washington. The charge against them was not vandalism. They faced the much more serious charge of sedition.
It was during the farm recession of the Twenties and the Great Depression of the Thirties that the German-Russians best demonstrated their special qualities.
They had bought with them and ability to hunker down, work hard, and do with little. During the years when farm failures were common all over North Dakota there were no bankruptcies among the German-Russian farmers who lived between Hazen and Missouri.
It was perhaps World War II that completed the German-Russian integration into America society. Every family had a son or close relative serving in the armed forces. The growing mobility of Americans speeded the need for language commonality. While some may have thought Germany couldn't be all wrong, Hitler was hard to take.
The churches were the last stronghold of the German language. After the war was over, both the German language and the German-Russian customs faded from the churches too.
Today it would be hard to find an ethnic group that better exemplifies the American ideal of free enterprise. The German-Russians made it the old-fashioned way. They earned it.

Wade Hayes Tumor Free Following Surgery and Chemotherapy for Colon Cancer
After a successful surgery for his battle with stage IV colon cancer in December, Wade Hayes is finally on the right side of recovery. The 'Old Enough to Know Better' and 'I'm Still Dancin' With You' hitmaker has spent two months getting chemotherapy treatment and is now seeing the results his friends, family and fans have been praying for since news of his illness broke late last year.
"I am very happy to say as of now I am tumor free and getting stronger every day," Hayes told Taste of Country exclusively, after having his most recent scan performed at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Just a few weeks before Christmas, Hayes underwent surgery for the colon cancer and came out better than even the doctors had expected. While he has faced both good and bad days since making the announcement about his cancer, Hayes is finally feeling like he's on the right track to a full recovery. "Thank you all so much for the prayer and well wishes," he said softly.
The singer still has four more months of chemo to complete his treatment. Hayes is scheduled to make his first public performance next week (March 6) at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville as part of the fourth-annual Stars Go Blue for Colon Cancer benefit. Also appearing will be Trace Adkins, Exile, GAC's Nan Kelly and her husband, Charlie. For tickets and information on the show, or to make a contribution to the cause, click here.

Delaware State Police have released more information about yesterday's shooting at the New Castle County Courthouse that killed three people – including alleged gunman Thomas Matusiewicz– and injured two Capitol police officers.
Investigators said 68-year-old Thomas Matusiewicz entered the courthouse lobby around 7:40 a.m. with his 45-year-old son David, who was scheduled to appear for a child support matter involving his ex-wife Christine Belford.
According to police, the younger Matusiewicz proceeded through a secure checkpoint and into the courtroom while his father remained in the lobby. When Belford entered the building with her friend, 45-year-old Laura Mulford, Thomas Matusiewicz allegedly took out a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun and opened fire on the women at close range.
Authorities said Belford was hit in the chest and Mulford was shot as she attempted to flee.
Matusiewicz then allegedly encountered several Delaware Capitol police officers as he tried to leave the building and engaged them in a gun battle. They were both pronounced dead at the Christiana Hospital Trauma Center.

Two officers – Michael Manley, 42, and Steven Rineheart, 50 – were shot in their ballistic vests. They were treated at Christiana for minor injuries and released.
Matusiewicz was shot once in the upper body and once in the head. An autopsy revealed that his head wound was self-inflicted and determined his cause of death to be suicide.
Delaware State Police homicide detectives are continuing to investigate and have asked that anyone who was at the courthouse during the shootout but left without being interviewed contact Delaware State Police Troop 2 at 302-834-260 ext. 0.
David Matusiewicz was interviewed by detectives, who determined he was in violation of a federal probation stemming from convictions for bank fraud and international parental kidnapping, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He was taken into custody and is being held for a hearing, set for Feb. 15.
Matusiewicz in 2009 pleaded guilty to bank fraud and international parental kidnapping and was sentenced to four years in prison and five years of supervised release.
According to court documents filed yesterday, Matusiewicz allegedly violated that probation by lying to his probation officer about where he stayed during a January trip to Delaware, falling behind on his child support payments and failing to pay penalties and restitution stemming from the case.
Court documents in the previous case filed against Matusiewicz show that he in August of 2007 applied for a $249,000 home equity loan for a property he owned with Belford. While finalizing the loan, he didn't tell the bank representative the couple had divorced, but instead claimed that Belford was in another room and forged her signature.
Matusiewicz transferred the loan funds into an overseas bank account. He then kidnapped the couple's three young children and fled the country with them and his mother, prompting an international search that lasted for a year and a half. He traveled through Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama before the U.S. Marshals found him in Nicaragua and took him into custody in March of 2009.
"I think what happened here, Judge, was that Mr. Matusiewicz's judgment, which had been exemplary up until the point that he committed this crime, was clouded by his emotional attachment to his children, was clouded by the turmoil and depression that he was experiencing because of his divorce, was clouded by the fact that but for his limited relationship and close relationship with his parents and his sister and his three children, is one of isolation," his lawyer Heriberto Medrano said during a hearing.

Having so effectively channeled an aesthetic which fits comfortably between Echo and the Bunnymen and Joy Division, and despite the relative youth of its members, Mister Loveless resonates strongly with the generation who came up during the 70's and 80's.
the band Mister Loveless, from left: Charlie Koliha (bass), Rob Miller (lead vocals, guitar), Nick Clark (drums), Sean Gaffney (guitar, backup vocals)
The concept for Three Words emerged in 2008, when the band sat down with an album's worth of material and determined that there was not enough cohesiveness between songs. The decision was made to split the material between two EP's, the track titles being two or three words long, it followed that they release a Two Words EP, and later a Three Words EP.
Between Two Words and Three Words they came out with In Wonder (2009), and began writing more and more with Three Words in mind. This EP accomplished the flowing arc of song-into-song transitions they had felt so at a loss for in 2008, and successfully stands alone as a sort of 27-minute epic.
While mature, restrained, and contemplative, Mister Loveless tends to break into moments of hopeful optimism. Consistently, their songs conform to a more developed and transient structure than the typical verse-chorus-verse model. This allows for lengthy tracks which span a broad spectrum of emotions, dynamics, and poetry.
Mister Loveless accomplishes far more than expected from your garden variety local group. Their music has a way of infecting, and slowly carving a place out in your heart where sits a new favorite band.

Links, 8.30.10Posted: August 30, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
Did I mention that school doesn't start in my New Jersey district until Sept. 13? Due to the unusual combo of a late Labor Day and an early Rosh Hashanah, we are living our very own remake of Endless Summer. I never thought I would grow to hate the sight of my own beach towel, but … really. I am ready for leaves to turn and apples to bake and all that other fall stuff. Please.
Success story: Good news for the Cook County (Ill.) Genealogy Online site, which was named a Best Website by Family Tree magazine. Containing a free index of more than 8 million genealogy records, the site went live in 2008. More good news: County officials say that the cost of creating the site was repaid in just four months of online sales.
Funky?: The headline was eyecatching: Are you in a Genealogy Funk? Although upon reading the essay ("Maybe the record you seek is not online"), it sounded more like being stuck in genealogy low gear to me. The article does offer useful advice: If you're in a funk, it's probably time to set down the mouse and pick up a road map instead.
No more new names: The New York Times talks about the disappearance of that U.S. genealogy staple: the immigrant who changed his or her name to sound more "American." Experts agree the practice has been steadily dwindling in the last few decades. The U.S., they say, is simply more multicultural today than it was in the past.
Well, maybe SOME new names: Of course, there's always a twist to these trend stories. A blog on this name-morphing topic mentions the writer's father, a Korean immigrant who did change his name — to make it seem more exotic.
Never too early … To start making holiday wish lists. My kids have already tackled the topic of what to be for Halloween, so let's just keep working ahead. Anyway, did anyone else see the Eastman newsletter report on that nifty little FlipPal scanner? Sounds like a genealogy gift to me.
Off topic, but off my chest: Look, stop asking about whether I saw Snooki and the gang down the shore this summer. And thank you, Philly Inquirer, for explaining why I did not, and likely won't. Trust me, my endless summer was lovely without them.
Enjoy the last days of August, and hello September!

This module contents a couple of functions to convert readed bytes (as [
Word8]) of synchronized values to unsynchronised
The only purpose of unsynchronisation is to make the ID3v2 tag as
compatible as possible with existing software and hardware. There is
no use in
unsynchronising tags if the file is only to be processed
only by ID3v2 aware software and hardware. Unsynchronisation is only
useful with tags in MPEG 1/2 layer I, II and III, MPEG 2.5 and AAC
- The unsynchronisation scheme
Whenever a false synchronisation is found within the tag, one zeroed byte is inserted after the first false synchronisation byte. The format of synchronisations that should be altered by ID3 syncIntegerrs is as follows:
%11111111 111xxxxx
and should be replaced with:
%11111111 00000000 111xxxxx
This has the side effect that all $FF 00 combinations have to be altered, so they will not be affected by the decoding process. Therefore all the $FF 00 combinations have to be replaced with the $FF 00 00 combination during the unsynchronisation.
To indicate usage of the unsynchronisation, the unsynchronisation flag in the frame header should be set. This bit MUST be set if the frame was altered by the unsynchronisation and SHOULD NOT be set if unaltered. If all frames in the tag are unsynchronised the unsynchronisation flag in the tag header SHOULD be set. It MUST NOT be set if the tag has a frame which is not unsynchronised.
Assume the first byte of the audio to be $FF. The special case when the last byte of the last frame is $FF and no padding nor footer is used will then introduce a false synchronisation. This can be solved by adding a footer, adding padding or unsynchronising the frame and add $00 to the end of the frame data, thus adding more byte to the frame size than a normal unsynchronisation would. Although not preferred, it is allowed to apply the last method on all frames ending with $FF.
It is preferred that the tag is either completely unsynchronised or not unsynchronised at all. A completely unsynchronised tag has no false synchonisations in it, as defined above, and does not end with $FF. A completely non-unsynchronised tag contains no unsynchronised frames, and thus the unsynchronisation flag in the header is cleared.
Do bear in mind, that if compression or encryption is used, the unsynchronisation scheme MUST be applied afterwards. When decoding an unsynchronised frame, the unsynchronisation scheme MUST be reversed first, encryption and decompression afterwards.
- Synchsafe integers
In some parts of the tag it is inconvenient to use the unsychronisation scheme because the size of unsynchronised data is not known in advance, which is particularly problematic with size descriptors. The solution in ID3v2 is to use synchsafe integers, in which there can never be any false synchs. Synchsafe integers are integers that keep its highest bit (bit 7) zeroed, making seven bits out of eight available. Thus a 32 bit synchsafe integer can store 28 bits of information.
255 (%11111111) syncIntegerd as a 16 bit synchsafe integer is 383 (%00000001 01111111).

2006 Nissan Murano ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Smooth and luxurious crossover SUV.
The Nissan Murano combines the smooth ride and responsive handling of a car, the cargo space of a wagon, and the high driving position of a sport utility. Named after the region of Italy known for its famous glassware, the Murano reflects an emphasis on refinement and over-the-road confidence over off-road ruggedness.
The Murano is a good example of a crossover vehicle: It's designed to haul cargo like a sport-utility, but ride and drive like a car. However, this crossover handles better than a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander, and it drives more like a sports sedan.
Murano integrates aerodynamics and high fashion, with a sleek front end, smooth lines from front to back, and a greenhouse that slopes rearward, ending in a large but graceful C-pillar. Inside, Nissan resisted the temptation to cram in three rows of seats like the Highlander and Pilot do. Instead, like a car, the Murano has just two rows of seats, accommodating four (or at most five) passengers in comfort.
The Murano delivers hearty performance, boasting the same 3.5-liter V6 engine used in the 350Z sports car, tuned here to produce 245 horsepower. It comes with a continuously variable transmission, a high-tech automatic that's smooth and responsive while offering superior gas mileage within its class. Murano's road-tuned suspension offers smooth and sporty handling. Murano shares basic underpinnings with the Nissan Altima and Maxima sedans. (Murano is not at all related to the Infiniti FX, a popular misconception.) All-wheel drive is available for the Murano, giving it good grip and stability in wintry weather and hard rain.
For 2006, the Murano's styling has been freshened with a new grille design, a chrome lower grille insert and other subtle changes. It also gets LED taillights that look distinctive and illuminate faster to better alert drivers behind you when you apply the brakes.
The 2006 Nissan Murano is available in three models: S ($27,450), SL ($29,000), and SE AWD ($31,550). The S and SL come standard with front-wheel drive (2WD); all-wheel drive (AWD) adds about $1,600 more. The SE comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment. All models are powered by the 3.5-liter V6 mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that Nissan calls the Xtronic. All Murano models come with features above the class standard.
Starting with the SE, standard equipment on all three versions includes dual-zone automatic temperature control, a high-power AM/FM/CD audio system, power windows with auto up/down feature in front, keyless remote entry, reclining rear seats, and large 18-inch alloy wheels.
The SL upgrades with a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat, upgraded audio with steering wheel controls, a compass, a garage door opener, automatic headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power outlets, fog lights, and an theft alarm. SL and SE models wear new brushed aluminum trim on the rear bumper and chrome accents along the sides.

The Murano is named after the glass sculpted in the islands near Venice. The glass is known for its beauty as well as for the high-tech methods used in its production. In the Nissan Murano, this duality is most obvious in the styling.
The Murano is designed to blend the look of a car and a truck. The top half of the body is sleek like a car, while the bottom half is bulky like a truck. Overall, the look is much sleeker than tall box-shaped SUVs. At first it looks a bit over the top, but most people quickly get used to it and traditional SUVs start looking boxy and dated by comparison.
Big 18-inch wheels contribute to Murano's muscular styling. Sculpted, vertical-stack projector headlights define the front corners. The highly styled rear hatchback is made of reinforced plastic because steel won't bend easily in such a complex shape. The hatch is heavy, however, and takes some effort to raise and lower. The windshield and front side windows are tinted green to deflect UV radiation; the rear side windows and backlight are darkly tinted for privacy.
As its looks suggest, the Murano is an aerodynamic machine. Details in the design help it slip quietly through the air. Airflow-improving devices include an underbody engine cover, front and rear tire deflectors, a rear spoiler, and aerodynamic mirrors. Combined with the low frontal area and roof, these enhancements increase fuel efficiency and limit wind noise at high speeds.
To finish the high-fashion look, Nissan offers 10 exterior colors (including new Brilliant Silver and Sunset Red), with four interior hues (Charcoal, Latte, Cabernet and new Hazelnut) to mix and match. The colors were chosen carefully to promote a luxury look.
Climbing into the Nissan Murano couldn't be easier. The seating position and steering wheel orientation make it feel more like a car than an SUV. Slide into the driver's seat and you'll notice outward visibility is excellent in all directions. This isn't a small vehicle, though, and you can't see the corners of the fenders, so you'll need to be extra careful when parking. The view rearward isn't compromised as much as we had expected by the stylishly thick D-pillars.
The front seats are comfortable and supportive, even for people well over six feet tall. Petite drivers are also able to get comfortable, with the power-adjustable pedals that help ensure a good driving position without getting too close to the steering wheel where the air bag is housed. The overall interior fit and finish are good. Murano's instrument cluster is garnished with genuine brushed aluminum trim that gives it a younger, sportier look. The gauges have a classy grayish background with amber backlighting. Steering wheel audio controls are illuminated.
A prominent pod juts from the center of the Murano's dash presenting audio and climate controls. A new seven-inch color screen has been made standard to enhance usability and access to vehicle information. We aren't in love with the appearance of the pod, but it puts the switches close at hand. The dual-zone, fully automatic climate control is a step above the class, and it features rear air-conditioning vents located on the B-pillars.
The stereo controls are on the small side, but easy to use once you get the hang of them. The preset buttons, for example, can be programmed to select your favorite stations regardless of whether they are AM or FM; this eliminates the need to press a separate mode button when switch from your favorite FM music station to your favorite AM talk radio station, making life easier and reducing distraction while driving. Controls on the steering wheel allow easy volume adjustments.
Customers can order either XM or Sirius satellite radio as a dealer-installed accessory. Though you do have to pay an annual subscription fee, we've found satellite radio to be a nice feature to have in a car, allowing us to listen to 24 hour news stations, such as Fox News and CNN, as well as every imaginable type of music, comedy, and sports, and there's no need to ever switch stations should you decide to drive from, say, Atlanta to Seattle.
The optional navigation system works well and includes a nifty three-dimensional birds-eye view that's sometimes more fun to follow than the flat map.
Useful features make the Murano a satisfying car for day-to-day use. A large center console separates the front seats, enhancing the sports sedan feel of the interior. The center console features a two-tiered lockable storage box with enough room for a laptop computer or a purse, cell phone, sunglasses, coins, cups and bottles. The door pockets flip out for easy access, and there's a hidden storage tray and two bins under the cargo floor. There are also three power outlets: front-passenger footwell, center console and rear.
The cabin is roomy and feels airy. The Murano is a five-seat vehicle with similar interior space as the seven-seat Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot.
The rear seats take advantage of the additional space. As a result, the Murano's back seat offers limousine legroom. We found that a six-foot, four-inch passenger can cross his legs comfortably in the back seat. The rear seatback easily adjusts for rake by pulling a strap, allowing your back-seat passengers to kick back and enjoy the ride. We found Murano's rear accommodations more comfortable than the second-row seats in many SUVs where passengers sit more upright. The optional DVD rear-seat entertainment system is particularly useful for keeping children occupied.
Cargo space can be increased by flopping the rear seats forward. This can be easily accomplished.
Driving Impression
The Nissan Murano is enjoyable to drive. It handles more like a car than like a truck and better than other vehicles in this class. It's a relatively sporty vehicle with quick acceleration and responsive handling. Its smooth ride and powerful engine make for enjoyable highway travel as well.
Nissan's 245-hp V6 feels mighty healthy in spite of the Murano's considerable heft at 4,000 pounds. The Murano feels as quick as a sports sedan. Throttle response is strong any time you tap the pedal, a benefit of its 246 pound-feet of torque. Towing isn't its forte, as with others in this class, but the Murano can tow up 3500 pounds.
The continuously variable transmission is responsive and fuel efficient. Unlike a four-speed automatic, there are no perceptible gear changes. It works steplessly. As you accelerate, instead of shifting through gears, the CVT uses variable-diameter pulleys connected by a complex steel belt to change ratios continuously and transfer engine torque to the driveshafts. It changes ratios more smoothly than a normal automatic does, allowing the engine to rev at a speed that's most efficient for acceleration. This also improves fuel economy. Murano delivers an impressive 20/24 mpg city/highway, according to EPA estimates.
The CVT in the Murano has just three ranges: D for normal driving, S for sportier acceleration and L for the lowest range. Shifting from D to S raises engine revs 2500 rpm at a given road speed. Dropping from S to L increases engine speed by another 1000 rpm. Rev the engine near its 6600 redline and the ratio automatically reduces, thereby lowering the engine revs as the Murano's speed increases. Engine braking is programmed into the electronics that control the CVT, so when you're coasting down a steep hill, accelerometers sense this condition and increase the effective gear ratio, which is akin to downshifting a conventional transmission.
Fortunately, you don't need to understand any of this, or even be aware of it, to drive the Murano. We are particularly impressed with how quiet this transmission is compared to conventional automatics. Acceleration is quicker than with a conventional automatic and it's impressively smooth. Indeed, at first it may feel too smooth. It's surprising how deeply we're conditioned by the operation of an engine and conventional automatic transmission. The Murano's sensation of acceleration without an increase in the engine's pitch or speed takes some getting used to.
Handling is impressive. We found that the Murano rides and handles better than a Honda Pilot, and we liked its ride and handling better than other mid-priced SUVs. Murano's road manners are as impressive as its smooth drivetrain. The steering feels quick during turn-in, and the big 18-inch tires refrain from squealing until they are truly at the edge of cornering adhesion, increasing the driver's confidence that Murano will respond like a well-sorted sedan. It does just that up to about 8/10ths of its performance envelope, at which point it begins to understeer. Hitting a big bump at the apex of a corner doesn't upset its handling.
All-wheel drive takes much of the stress out of driving under rainy or snowy conditions. It improves overall traction and reduces the likelihood of skids, so it's well worth having for bad weather or emergency lane-change maneuvers. The Murano's all-wheel-drive system drives the front wheels until wheelspin is detected, at which point the center differential can redirect up to half of the power to the rear wheels.
The brakes are highly effective and easy to modulate for smooth stops. The braking system includes four-wheel vented disc brakes with Brake Assist, which helps ensure maximum braking force in a panic stop, and electronic brake-force Distribution (EBD), which reduces stopping distances and improves stability by dynamically distributing the braking force between the front and re.
The Nissan Murano offers the roominess and practicality of a sport utility with the handling, power and smoothness of a sporty sedan. Murano comes well equipped and its luxurious ambience gives it the feel of a luxury SUV.

This is especially crucial in light of the rapid transformation of the business world, as it transitions from a product-driven model to a service-oriented approach, bringing new and innovative changes to the technology sector. As these changes take root, businesses need to proactively monitor these trends to realign their business and technological strategies to accommodate these changes.
This fact is probably best evidenced by the fact that the smartphone revolution hasn't come to a close yet: there has been a quick and steady rise in the number of endpoints that are used to access information through various devices and methods. This Device Mesh, as it is known, includes smartphones, wearables, automotive, and consumer and home electronic devices. This new set of endpoints challenges small businesses to find effective solutions to provide a consistent user experience beyond the limitations of platforms and devices, thereby providing users with seamless access to the tools they are accustomed to, regardless of the location and the technology in use.
The following set of reports details research by Parallels, conducted among 1,000 small businesses and companies with the goal of understanding the opportunities and challenges that small businesses are facing in this technological world and their growing need for a more homogenous office environment to equip their employees with the familiarity that will help increase their productivity. The answers they gave illuminate a clear trajectory to the course that businesses are taking and provide a glimpse into the office environment of tomorrow, effectively spotlighting viable paths to success.
This report was conducted with the goal of understanding the trends and challenges that Small to Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) are facing now and in the not too distant future, specifically in terms of mobile device management and application delivery.
Mac computers are without a doubt powerful resources for companies to have, fostering a sense of creativity and innovation in their users, whoever they may be. However, it is evident that these computers are overshadowed by their PC Windows counterparts in the workplace, where the business end of things tends to be fronted by these computers.

We bet it was.

TNA wrestling is picking a fight with WWE, and Chicago is in the middle of it.
If Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling is going to be a true rival to the WWE empire, building its fan base in the Windy City certainly will help. TNA's "Impact Wrestling Live" will be broadcast live on Spike TV on Thursday from the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates. The last time the organization held a show in the area was in 2008 for a pay-per-view event.
"It's been a long time since we've been back up in the Midwest, unfortunately," said wrestler Chris Daniels, 42. "It wasn't up to me; if it was, I would have been there a lot longer. I've got ties in Chicago. I was trained there. I've got a lot of family and friends. … And I don't get a chance to visit them as much as I should because of the schedule."
TNA typically televises "Impact" from Orlando, Fla. The Nashville, Tenn.-based organization has a roster of talent that includes names such as Daniels, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode, along with superstars like Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle.
The presence of these ring veterans has helped raise TNA's profile and has had a positive effect on the athletes in the locker room.
"You see someone like Kurt Angle, who has had immeasurable success in professional wrestling as a whole, going out there and doing his best to try and make people aware of the product—you can't help but give 110 percent in that same respect," Daniels said.
Lisa Marie Varon, aka "Tara," made the switch from WWE to TNA in 2009 and relocated to Chicago in the process.
"I lived here [in Chicago] in the '90s and lived here for five years, but I had to move to Kentucky for wrestling," said Varon, who lives in Lincoln Park. "[My husband and I] opened a pizza place there and a custom car shop. Once that closed down, I saw my husband looking at Chicago real estate and said, 'Oh my God, are we going to move back?' and he said 'Do you want to?' I said, 'Absolutely!' "
Varon dismisses the notion that there were any challenges in switching wrestling organizations.
"I had a lot of freedom going to TNA," she said. "They told me to do what I do best. And I wasn't used to that, having so much freedom. … Don't get me wrong, I loved WWE too, I learned all my craft and psychology—how to be fierce in the ring—from [WWE trainer] Fit Finlay. I don't have any hard feelings. [But] I wasn't used to getting that much time on TV. Having Dixie Carter—our boss—who is very pro-woman [helped]. She gave us a lot of time on TV."
Daniels said TNA faces an uphill battle trying to compete with WWE.
"The truth of the matter is sometimes it's hard to be different from the WWE when you're trying to gain those same viewers," he said. "Sometimes there's a tendency to sort of follow in the footsteps of the WWE. And so it's sort of a fine line where you want to be recognizable as professional wrestling but you also want to set yourself apart from what some people consider the standard of professional wrestling, which is the WWE."
In the long run, putting TNA in the same league as WWE falls on the talent in the ring, Daniels said.
"I think the challenge for us as individuals is [to] try to stand out," he said. "Try to get people talking. Try to get that word of mouth out about our product. Not just ourselves but the entire roster as a whole. Trying to get people talking about the differences in our talent. The differences in terms of the stories we're telling in the ring. Trying to get some buzz about the things that we're doing."

If you have even a small corner of your house that you can call your own, and you've been able to turn that space into a man cave – even if it is only furnished with a sofa, a TV and a pool table – consider yourself lucky. And invite all of your friends who aren't quite so fortunate to enjoy a game with you.
To plan the perfect man-cave gathering, you'll need a game schedule, some extra seating, a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and lots of food. While bags of chips and bowls of peanuts, as well as delivered pizza, will also work, consider preparing a few of our favorite man-cave recipes that are simple enough you won't have to ask for help in the kitchen.
Pizza Rolls
You could buy the frozen ones, but if you're looking for something a little more stylish, these are easy enough to make. All you need is pizza dough, sauce, cheese and your favorite meat topping. This video from Man Cave Meals will walk you through the process of making these delicious man-cave treats.
These may be messy, but they are oh-so-delicious. Our favorite recipe starts with a sturdy taco chip of your choice. Then add nacho cheese, taco meat, black olives, jalapeños, onions, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Pile the ingredients high. And be sure you have plenty of napkins on hand.
Beer Cheese Soup
While this one takes a little more prep time, you can leave it on the stove once it's done, keeping it warm. You can go back for more whenever you want. The ingredients are simple enough: onion, a bottle of beer, Worcestershire sauce, flour, butter, chicken broth, mustard, and cheese. Learn how to make this recipe from Man Cave Munchies.
Popcorn on Demand
No man cave is complete (guests or no guests) without popcorn. We make it easy for you enjoy this treat with the Paragon Cineplex Popcorn Machine. Popcorn can be at the ready whenever you are ready to escape.

A Missouri lawmaker wants to further limit the amount of a popular cold and allergy medicine people can buy each month but still allow most consumers to buy it without a prescription.
House Republican Stanley Cox, of Sedalia, has introduced legislation on sales of pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that's also a key ingredient in methamphetamine.
Missouri already caps purchases of medicines containing pseudoephedrine at 9 grams every 30 days. Stores have to keep the medicines behind counters and keep records of individual purchases.
The House bill would limit consumers to 7.5 grams of pseudoephedrine a month and 60 grams a year.
Cox says it's an alternative to requiring prescriptions for pseudoephedrine, although the bill would require prescriptions from people convicted of drug felonies. Many Missouri cities have enacted local prescription requirements.

Endpoint Environmental is about change and innovation and using high-tech technology to display the ever complex relationships between human beings, animals and the earth.
I originally found the name "Endpoint" when I was about 15 years old. My Mom and I spent the summer together in Michigan where she was taking a course on teaching chemistry to high school students (her profession). Endpoint is a term used in chemistry, titration experiments to be specific. For example, say I'm adding liquid A to liquid B to create a new liquid, C - think the vinegar and baking soda demonstration from elementary school. That last drop of A (vinegar) into B (baking soda) that turns those two substances into C (a bubbly mess) is the endpoint. So for me, the endpoint is about change and being a catalyst to change.
In terms of a logo, I would like to see a north arrow or compass. A symbol that I can use on the top left hand corner of my business cards and the bottom right hand corner of my maps. It should be professional enough to use on letterhead but creative enough to show up in promotional material. I want you to use cutting edge design. It should scale. I want a logo that looks good in black and white but also pops with color.

Pike, Yeo named to Top 100 Senior List
INDIANAPOLIS — Two area players were singled out by Hoosier Basketball Magazine as the magazine released its annual Top 100 Senior Boys list Monday.
Bremen's Ethan Pike and Triton's Clay Yeo were both named to this year's list. The Top 100 will be pared down to 60 players at the conclusion of this weekend's state finals, and those that make the final list will be invited to participate in the Top 60 Workout Sunday, April 7 at Marian University in Indianapolis. Among those who who will be in attendance at the workout is the Game Director of the 2013 Indiana-Kentucky All-Star Game.
Pike, a 6'4" player for the Lions, recently signed on with NAIA Judson University following a 510-point senior season, in which he finished just 18 points behind the program's single-season scoring record of 528 set by Bill Hunter in 1973-74.
Pike led Bremen with 24.28 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in his final year, helping the Lions achieve their first double-digit win total since 2008-09. He closed his high school career with a 71-59 loss to two-time defending Sectional 35-champion Westview in a Class 2A tournament opener Feb. 26., ending with 978 points over three seasons.
Yeo, a 6'6" NCAA DI Valparaiso recruit, will finish out his high school career at this weekend's Class A State Finals at the Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where Triton will play Borden in the Trojans' fourth trip to state in the past six seasons. Game time is set for 10:30 a.m. ET.
Yeo is currently leading Triton in nearly every statistical category with 26.3 points per game, 7.96 rebounds per game and three assists an outing to go with 46 blocked shots and 44 steals in 24 games played this year.
With 631 points so far this season, he owns a career total of 1,966 points, putting him on pace to break the Marshall County scoring record of 1,979 set by 2005 Plymouth grad and Huntington University standout Kyle Benge.
Yeo is already Triton's all-time leading scorer with single game and single season scoring records.

If the Obama administration and Congress are truly concerned about U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and increasing export opportunities, then antidumping policy must be reformed. Imports of raw materials, intermediate goods and capital equipment — products consumed by U.S. producers — account for the majority of U.S. import value. Meanwhile, those kinds of manufacturing inputs are subject to 4 out of every 5 antidumping measures imposed. The case is clear that current U.S. antidumping policy undermines U.S. manufacturing competitiveness at home and abroad, and reform is imperative.
In light of the Obama administration's efforts to facilitate export growth and help improve U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, three panels of experts will discuss various features of U.S. antidumping law that undermine those objectives and offer proposals for reform.
Opening Remarks: Antidumping and U.S. Competitiveness: Something Has Got to Give
Dan Ikenson, Associate Director, Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute
Panel 1: An Ounce of Prevention: Limiting the Scope for Collateral Damage in the Early Stages of an Antidumping Investigation
Lax standards for initiating antidumping investigations conspire with an asymmetric injury analysis that ignores the consequences of duties on consuming industries and the economy at large to produce externalized costs. Panelists will discuss the imperative of adding rigor to case initiation standards; granting legal standing to firms in consuming industries; requiring the results of an analysis of the economic costs and benefits of any prospective antidumping measures to be considered; and more.
Moderator: Lewis Leibowitz, Esq., Hogan Lovells and Chairman, National Association of Foreign Trade Zones
Panelists: Erik Autor, Vice President, International Trade Counsel, National Retail Federation
Dr. J. Michael Finger, Trade Economist and Author, Former Lead Economist and Chief of the World Bank's Trade Policy Research Group
Gary Horlick, Esq., Law Offices of Gary N. Horlick, Former International Trade Counsel, U.S. Senate Finance Committee, and Former Head of Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce
Panel 2: Just Because It's Legal Doesn't Mean It's Right: Reining in Rough Justice at the Commerce Department
Import Administration at the Commerce Department employs calculation procedures and methods that unequivocally inflate dumping margins, hence the rates of duty imposed. Some of those procedures serve no legitimate analytical purpose. Others can be conducted in manners that are less likely to produce skewed results. Panelists will discuss some of the more egregious methodological quirks and offer some commonsense solutions.
Moderator: Gary Horlick, Esq., Law Offices of Gary N. Horlick, Former International Trade Counsel, U.S. Senate Finance Committee, and Former Head of Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce
Panelists: Robert La Frankie, Esq., Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP and Former Senior Attorney, Office of Chief Counsel, Import Administration. U.S. Department of Commerce
Matt Nicely, Esq., Thompson Hine LLP and Adjunct Professor, "The U.S. Trade Regime," American University, Washington College of Law
Daniel Porter, Esq., Winston & Strawn LLP
Panel 3: Containing the Spill: Meta-Reforms to Mitigate the Externalized Costs of AD Measures
Recognizing that antidumping measures saddle other domestic interests with higher costs, stymie commerce by virtue of the uncertainty created about final duty liability, and make it more difficult for downstream U.S. producers to compete at home and abroad, this panel of experts will discuss various reforms that could reduce some of the purely punitive aspects of the current system.
Moderator: Daniel Ikenson, Associate Director, Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute
Panelists: Peggy Clarke, Esq., Blank Rome LLP and Adjunct Professor, Trade Remedies Law, George Washington University Law School
Lewis Leibowitz, Esq., Hogan Lovells and Chairman, National Association of Foreign Trade Zones
Marguerite Trossevin, Esq., Jochum Shore & Trossevin, PC and Former Deputy Chief Counsel, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce

Talk:Automatic 9mm
| This talk page is for discussing the Automatic 9mm article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
Should we use the in-game names of guns instead of the actual gun that this is based off? I think it should be the same idea why we shouldn't use real car brands for in-game cars.--spaceeinstein 02:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes that would make sence.-User:BloodyGTA
- I don't really think it matters; see it's different with cars. With cars, Rockstar actually gave them real names such as Ruiner or Infernus, but with weapons Rockstar just game them generic names like pisol or shotgun. So I think it is fine as is. -User:RatedR307
- People like me who know nothing about guns don't want to have to find the real life name for a gun to find it on the wiki. It's the same with cars, there are so many discussions about "This car is based on..." that I don't bother reading because I can't help. So in my opinion, we should try to keep the article names as simple, and in-game as possible (or at least create redirects). Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 05:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Anymore objections or support before this is moved?--spaceeinstein 20:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- So what is it going to be called?The Automatic 9mm?-User:BloodyGTA
- For now it would be Automatic 9mm based on the TLAD website unless the game names it differently.--spaceeinstein 21:37, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- When is the name going to be changed though?-User:BloodyGTA
I added that it can be used for executions, because I know that the Combat Pistol in vanilla GTA IV cannot make executions[From playing the whole game once with a Desert Eagle once it was available and then again with only the Glock). I was about to make an execution in TLAD and I was unsure if I could use this pistol for it after realizing in vanilla that only the Glock could make them, but I was presently surprised that this pistol could too and I felt that was worth noting to those who cared about the cinematic effect of executions. And correct me if I'm wrong about the Desert Eagle not being able to make them in TLAD, I haven't actually tried it, nor have I played TBOGT(downloading at the moment though :D) so I cannot speak for the Pistol .44 either.

A man who feared another driver would flee the scene of an accident was injured after jumping into the offender's minivan that then took off, say police.
Duty inspector Darrell Hesse said a 2002 Dodge Caravan minivan was travelling downtown and struck a 2003 Mitsubishi around 3:30 a.m.
"The operator of the second vehicle had reason to believe that the operator of the minivan was going to flee the scene, so he made an effort to actually gain access to the minivan and he did," Hesse said.
Police say he tried to stop the driver by reaching in through the window, but the minivan driver sped up and the Mitsubishi driver was left hanging out of the driver-side window.
Witnesses told police the minivan swerved around a truck, then drove across all the lanes of traffic and into a restaurant, To a Vietnamese Cuisine, at 6th Avenue and 6th Street S.W.
The car driver was rushed to the Foothills Medical Centre.
"EMS subsequently transported one male patient in his late twenties to hospital in serious but stable and non-life threatening condition with possible internal injuries," said EMS spokesman Adam Loria.
The minivan driver, 43, is in police custody.
"We believe that alcohol was a factor," said Hesse.
Restaurant manager Loc Le said the restaurant was closed on Saturday to assess the damage and added he did not know when it might reopen.
"I have to wait for the adjuster from the insurance (company) to come over," Le said.
"It's very bad," he said of the damage.
Given the destruction, he said it must have been a "very hard hit."
In a statement, police said that people involved in similar crashes should convey the other driver's information to police rather than taking matters into their own hands.
"While the Calgary Police Service recognizes the heat of the moment in this circumstance, we would like to take this opportunity to remind people to always be safe. It may be more prudent to call police with whatever information you have and let us deal with the offender rather than exposing yourself to the risk of serious injury or worse," they said.
The police traffic section is conducting an investigation and charges against the minivan driver are pending.

BMW recalls 109,000 5 and 6 Series
* BMW recall all 5 and 6 Series from 2003-2010 * Electrical fault affects 109,000 UK cars * Repair is free of charge...
BMW UK is recalling all previous generation BMW 5 and 6 Series models built between March 2003 and September 2010.
The 109,000 cars may have an incorrectly fitted battery cable cover, which in some cases is suffering from water ingress, resulting in owners not able to start their cars. BMW say that in some rare cases the electrical system could malfunction leading to scorching of the boot floor and possible fire.
BMW says the issue affects 1.3 million cars worldwide and claims it was made aware of the issue by ongoing testing of their cars and customer feedback.
Owners of affected cars will be notified in the coming weeks and asked to arrange a visit to their local dealer. BMW claim the repairs will take approximately 30 minutes and will be carried out free of charge.
No accidents or injury has been reported but concerned 5 and 6 Series owners should contact the BMW customer service number on 0800 325600.

Claims that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration closed traffic lanes at the George Washington Bridge as payback against a political opponent were boosted on Wednesday with the publication of a series of incriminating emails.
The emails quote a top Christie aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, saying to an executive at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that it was "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," which is at the New Jersey end of the bridge.
The Port Authority executive, David Wildstein, wrote back in an email: "Got it." The Port Authority oversees the bridge that links New Jersey with New York City.
Copies of the emails were obtained and published by the Bergen Record, The New York Times and other media.
The decision to block off two of three local access ramps to the George Washington Bridge created traffic jams in Fort Lee and angered commuters who were caught in major delays.

Wildstein, a longtime Christie ally, admitted ordering the lane closures and resigned in December. A second top Port Authority appointee resigned a week later.
Democrats have accused Christie's Republican supporters at the Port Authority of closing the lanes as political retribution against the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, who did not endorse Christie's re-election efforts.
Christie, a Republican widely expected to make a bid for the White House in 2016, has insisted that he and his staff had nothing to do with the lane closings.
Christie canceled his only public event on Wednesday without providing an explanation. A spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The emails were supplied to the media by Wildstein in response to a subpoena issued by a panel of state lawmakers. He is due to testify before the panel on Thursday.
Port Authority officials have said the lane shutdowns were enacted during a last-minute traffic study.

Former WVU interim president takes job in New York: C. Peter Magrath will serve as interim president of Binghamton University
From the State University of New York Communications office (http://www.suny.edu/communications/index.cfm):
State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher today nominated C. Peter Magrath to be interim president of Binghamton University. Magrath, a past president of Binghamton University from 1972 to 1974, will take office on July 1.
"We are so pleased with the return of Peter Magrath to the SUNY family," said Chancellor Zimpher. "With vast presidential experience across the nation and right here in Binghamton, Dr. Magrath is an ideal fit to lead this superb academic institution during a period of transition and growth. I am confident that Binghamton students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community will find in Dr. Magrath a leader of great integrity, who can provide the focused direction necessary for success."
"Dr. Magrath is the right person for the job," said Carl T. Hayden, chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees. "His success and previous accomplishments will suit Binghamton well. I commend Chancellor Zimpher for recruiting such an impressive candidate to bring the campus into this next chapter."
Most recently, Magrath served as interim president at West Virginia University between 2008 and 2009. Since 2006, Magrath has been senior presidential advisor at The College Board. From 1992 through 2005, he served as president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, now the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), a voluntary association of 212 public research universities located in all 50 states.
Prior to his work at the national level, Magrath was president of the University of Missouri System (1985-1991), University of Minnesota (1974-1984), Binghamton University (1972-1974), and served as interim chancellor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1971-1972).
"The opportunity to have come full circle in my professional career is truly an honor," said Magrath. "I know there are challenges ahead, but I approach this new endeavor with the greatest amount of faith in the students, faculty and staff of Binghamton University who are dedicated to upholding the true greatness of this institution. My intention is to provide strong leadership as it continues its move into a prosperous future of serving its region and New York."
"SUNY and Binghamton University in particular should be excited at the prospect of Peter Magrath's leadership during this transitional period," said Peter McPherson, president of APLU. "Watching Peter succeed in higher education assures me that his selection will, without a doubt, put Binghamton University on the right path."
"Peter Magrath's knowledge of higher education and his cunning ability to make well conceived, measured decisions for the campus he leads will truly be an asset to SUNY," said Gaston Caperton, president of The College Board. "I know that he will be a true advocate for Binghamton University."
Magrath is a graduate of Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire, where he earned his doctorate and bachelor's degrees, respectively, in political science. His scholarly interests include American government, higher education and international affairs.
Confirmation of the appointment, in addition to the determination and announcement of compensation, will take place at the SUNY Board of Trustees meeting in June.

67 WALL STREET, New York - January 22, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Investing in Asia and Other Strategies Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs, Equity Analysts and Money Managers. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Investing in Asia - Growth at a Reasonable Price - Longer-Term Investing - Asia Pacific Investment Theses
Companies include: Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (005930.KS), Hyundai Motor Company (005380.KS), LG Electronics Inc. (066570.KS), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited (1398.HK) and many others.
In the following excerpt from the Investing in Asia and Other Strategies Report, a highly experienced portfolio manager discusses the outlook for the Asian Markets for investors:
TWST: In which Asian countries do you currently see the best investment opportunities and what do you like about them?
Mr. Do: Over the past six months we've been adding to China because we noticed the pessimism relating to China growth and the Chinese banking system was unwarranted. We're not saying that China doesn't have issues, but we thought those issues were overly played or overly discounted. And as a result, the valuation of Chinese stocks became extremely cheap, and at the same time, starting from September of last year, we noticed that the Chinese economy has started to bottom out and turned around. As a result, with growth being revised up, combined with very cheap valuations, we thought that was a great opportunity for us to add to that unrecognized growth story in China from a country viewpoint.
Outside of this market, we also maintained a fairly high exposure to smaller Asian markets, including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. As far as Korea is concerned, it is also a cheap market. We've been investing in Korea for a very long time, and for those who have been investing in Korea for a long time as we did, they would be fully aware of the fact that the Korean market is always cheap. Nonetheless, if we look at the price-to-book relative to the ROE of many companies in Korea, it is quite undervalued.
So we do like the Korean market long term because it does offer international brands - Samsung, Hyundai (005380.KS) and LG (066570.KS) - at a cheap valuation. That said, we have not been adding a lot more to Korea over the past two months because the Japanese yen has started to weaken substantially against the U.S. Dollar and the Korean Won. So when that happens, obviously, investors would be selling their Korean export exposure, especially the autos, and buy the Japanese equivalent.
So the severe weakness of the yen has put a stop on our endeavor to look to add to positions in Korea at the moment. We have also added back to India as well. We were underweight in that market about six months ago, but our Indian specialists argued that a lot bad news surrounding the inflation and current account deficit issues were well priced in the market. So we took advantage of cheap growth opportunities in India, and thus have been adding there too.
TWST: Can you give us a few examples of your holdings that you believe are representative of your investment approach?

libvirt-guests and systemd
libvirt-guests does not work with systemd. At least not without modification to the scripts. To enable a guest to auto-start you can either check the "autostart" box in virt-manager, enable autostart through virsh or you can manually create a symlink in the libvirt auto-start directory.

virt-manager 0.9.4 broken?
virt-manager-0.9.4-4 python scripts don't seem to be working. I have been testing them all day.. Including but not limited to a full clean reinstall of Arch 4 times.. I have been getting the error: Building default storage pool failed error. So as a work around I used is below.. This is after the directories are created and root has access to them.

QEMU/libvirt broke
Last version broke for me. It was a permissions issue that i solved by creating a service account. I am running v1.0.2-1 with qemu.
Create service account for qemu:
# useradd -g kvm -M -N -r qemu
Edit to run under creds: /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
user='qemu' group='kvm'
Also you will need to modify the permissions to the /dev/kvm
# chown root:kvm /dev/kvm

note: sorry this is typed all lowercase (broken wrist)
im looking to do an edit on bridged networking section im looking for a suggestion as what to keep since netcfg is deprecated...
i pretty much want to layout how to set a bridge with netctl...
first find your network device to bridge...
ip a
it should be somthing along the lines of enpXXX
next create the bridge profile for netctl, then start and enable it
Description="Internet bridge" Interface=br0 Connection=bridge BindsToInterfaces=(enp8s) IP=dhcp
netctl start br0
netctl enable br0
now this is where i need suggestions...is the current info relevant?
all i did was setup my vm to use br0 in virt-manager
i will go through these steps i used virt-manager but dont want to delete info if it isnt deprecate
- (Sorry for your wrist)
- Please don't delete anything if you're not sure of what you're doing: add templates like Template:Accuracy or Template:Out of date where appropriate instead. -- Kynikos (talk) 13:35, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

That this paper would print anything that Barbara Kelly writes is downright sick. It is sickening to read her dribble and her last column is the last I read from her. If she had any originality maybe I could give her some leeway. She has to get her lines from the Democratic Headquarters directly. It is pure party line garbage.
Am I being harsh on Barbara? You are the ones that should be bearing the blunt of my venom. You are a newspaper and should have the integrity to publish sane, intelligent, newsworthy stories and editorials. Instead you publish her nonsensical rantings.
Liberals are all the same, when confronted by sane and logical discussions with non liberals they attack. The first attack is that conservatives are dumb and too stupid to understand or see that they alone are right. I say bull, and state now that this is the last time I bother to read this paper other than to see which golf courses are offering the best deals.
