Turkish authorities have brought the chief suspect in the murder of an American woman slain in Turkey to Istanbul after he was apprehended at a border crossing between Turkey and Syria on Sunday.
The man suspected of killing Sarai Sierra, an American tourist who went missing on Jan. 22, was caught in the border province of Hatay, according to a statement by the Hatay governorate.
The suspect, called "Z.T." and also known as "Laz Ziya," was caught "in the Reyhanli District of our province by security forces," the statement said.
Sierra, a mother and amateur photographer from Staten Island, N.Y., was found slain by a blow to the head on Feb. 2 near the old city walls of Istanbul. After an investigation involving the interrogation of more than 20 suspects and the collection of blood samples from last known contacts, police identified Ziya as the primary suspect in the slaying.
Turkish television showed video of police marching Ziya to an armored personnel carrier. After he was apprehended in Hatay, he was flown to Istanbul for processing late Sunday.
In a strange twist to a mystery that has been front-page news for weeks in Turkey, it appears the suspect fled to neighboring Syria in an attempt to escape Turkish authorities.
A purported videotaped confession made by the suspect before he was handed over to Turkish authorities has been distributed by the Turkish Internet news portal TimeTurk. In the statement, Ziya tells the camera he is speaking in Syria. The editor of TimeTurk says the video was taken near the Syrian city of Idlib 30 minutes before Ziya was handed over to Turkish authorities.
It is not clear whether the confession can be legally admitted as evidence in court, because it is possible the suspect made the video under pressure or threats from his captors in Syria.
"I lost myself. I can't really remember how it happened," Ziya said in the video.
"I must have hit her on the head with a heavy object," he said, adding that he was under the influence of an "extreme amount" of paint thinner.

Atom bombs are still going off every day (not going to get into that) + nuclear testing is still going on.
I doubt that most people at that time had exposure to Love canal and Agent Orange (minus those in the military who went to Vietnam, obviously), although now Monsanto is trying to engineer seeds that are resistant to the herbicide 2,4-D so that farmers will start spraying insane amounts of it on their fields...2,4-D is one of the two ingredients of Agent Orange.
But I do get your point. Actually I was thinking back further then the 1900s when many families still grew their own food and family farms were everywhere - and people actually knew how to grow crops. Plus all of the other things I listed 2 posts ago.

Because of what it calls a financial perfect storm, the city of Sarasota is considering a number of steps to create a balanced budget, including more layoffs, a wage freeze, a two-week furlough, a pension reduction and more.
"We intend to give you a balanced budget in July," City Manager Bob Bartolotta told the City Commission during an April 23 budget meeting. "But the biggest concern I hear (from our staff) is matching budget cuts with community expectations. We have to start saying 'no' to new services."
The city is expecting property tax revenue for the 2009-2010 fiscal year to come in 20% — or $4 million — below estimates. Its other sources of revenue, such as the gas tax and half-cent sales tax are expected to be $2.6 million short of expectations.
"That's trouble," said Chris Lyons, the city's finance director, who said he couldn't remember a budget crisis such as this during his 20-plus years with the city.
To deal with unprecedented budget problems, the city is considering unprecedented measures. Bartolotta and Lyons told commissioners they were going to have to consider asking employees to forgo raises next year and go unpaid during a two-week furlough period, which equates to cutting their pay by about 4%.
Lyons said he doesn't believe the city has ever taken either of those steps. It would cost the city $1.8 million to give each employee a raise next year.
And, although it eliminated 127 jobs in the past two years through attrition and layoffs, the city will consider laying off more employees and cutting vacant positions.
"We've never seen a budget year that started with a deficit," Bartolotta said.
Other perks that could be cut are pensions and post-retirement health-and-life insurance.
Before 1993, the city promised employees free medical coverage and discounted coverage for their dependents even after employees retired. That policy changed in 1993, but employees hired before then are still entitled to that retirement benefit. The city will be taking a large hit for the next 15 years if a change is not made.
The city's health-coverage expenses were a little more than $6 million last year. Because of the pre-1993 retirement benefit, that cost will rise to about $15 million before it levels off in 2023.
Pension costs are estimated at $9.1 million next year if nothing changes.
Lyons said city commissioners would have to consider reducing those benefits to help balance the budget.
Another perk the commission will need to analyze, said Bartolotta, are bonus days. City employees are entitled to five days off per year, called bonus days, if they don't use any sick days. They are allowed to accrue those bonus days during their entire careers at the city.
Employees can also earn up to six days off per year by participating in the Run/Walk/Swim Program, which gives workers those days off if they hit certain exercising milestones.
"We're going to have to look at all time-off programs," Lyons said.
The city will also look at new sources of revenue. One possibility Bartolotta mentioned was charging non-residents for car-accident investigation.
"We could bill them, and it's covered by their insurance," he said.
Sarasota residents would not be charged, because their taxes already pay for it, said Bartolotta.

302 Main St, Oneida, NY 13421, USA (
New York
302 Main Street, Oeneida, NY
This large Victorian home in Oneida, New York has been known under a few different names, the Farnam Mansion, the Polly-Anna and most recently the Collinwood Inn. In it's most recent incarnation, as the Collinwood Inn, it serves as a bed and breakfast themed after the 1960s Gothic soap opera
Dark Shadows
. Much like the fictional Collinwood estate the bed & breakfast is named after, the Collinwood Inn is said to be haunted by the spirits of those who once lived there.
The Farnam Mansion
The house at 302 Main Street in Oneida was built in 1862 for businessman Stephen H. Farnam. Stephen had made his fortune in manufacturing axes and other hardware items at his factory in Little Falls, New York. Farnam relocated to Oneida in 1862, when he purchased a local hardware business. Stephen remained in Oneida for the remainder of his life and gradually became involved in other local businesses, including banking.
Stephen Farnam passed away at home on November 17, 1897 at the age of 75. He was survived by three of his five children and his second wife, Sarah (his first wife, Elizabeth, pre-deceased him by more than a decade). Farnam was interred in nearby Glenwood Cemetery (he had been president of the cemetery association at one point during his life).
Within years of Stephen's death, the mansion was sold by the Farnam family. Over the decades following it became home to suffragist Mary Dyer Jackson, and a succession of three doctors. The first of the three doctors, Robert L. Crockett also served as mayor of Oneida for two years. In 1983 the mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1986, the Farnam Mansion was purchased by Ken and Doloria Chapin, who transformed the place into The Polly-Anna Bed and Breakfast. After serving as a bed and breakfast for more than a decade, the mansion was sold once again and briefly returned to being a private residence until 2010, when it once again became a bed and breakfast.
The Collinwood Inn
In 2010, the mansion passed into the ownership of former antique dealer Gerri Gray. Gerri and her husband Brian wished to open a bed and breakfast (B&B) with a unique theme and for a brief time considered creating a theme based on author Shirley Jackson's
The Haunting of Hill House
. After deciding that idea might be too extreme for some guests, they chose to turn it into a tribute to one of their favorite television shows,
Dark Shadows
. They named their new B&B the Collinwood Inn in honor the soap's Collinwood estate, where most of the plot took place.
The couple immediately set about restoring many of the Italianate mansion's original features, including uncovering ornate ceiling medallions that had long been hidden from view and forgotten. The Grays gave the guest rooms individual themes based on
Dark Shadows
characters. The rooms feature d�cor that evokes the spirit of the show. The room based on vampiric character Barnabas Collins sports Gothic furnishings such as an iron candelabra and a photo of actor Jonathan Frid baring his fangs in his role as Barnabas. The final touch is a purposely cheesy rubber bat attached to the headboard of the bed in a nod to the rubber bat prop used for Barnabas's transformation scenes.
Other guest rooms are themed after Barnabas Collin's true love Josette, the witch Angelique (complete with an iron cauldron in the room) and werewolf/ghost Quentin Collins (including an antique gramophone in a nod to the gramophone discovered in a hidden room on the TV show) . Another room, based on Baranabas' sidekick Dr. Julia Hofmman is currently under development at the time of this article.
Gerri and Brian have also created an atmosphere consistent with the
Dark Shadows
TV show in the common areas of the bed and breakfast. The 1897 Drawing Room in particular is designed as a tribute to a time-travel plot from the series. Reproductions of portraits used in the show also adorn walls throughout the mansion, giving fans the sensation of having stepped into the fictional Collinwood Estate from the moment they cross the threshold into the Collinwood Inn. The Grays have further macabre plans in mind that will bring to life moments from the show as they continue to develop and restore more areas.
Haunting of the Collinwood Inn
During their restoration of the mansion, Gerri and Brian noticed odd unexplained sounds and sensations. They heard footsteps in unoccupied rooms. They also felt the sensation of a cat or dog moving against legs when there were no pets in the home. Gerri felt someone unseen touch her hand while she worked in the kitchen. Lights turned on and off seemingly of their own accord. A spectral figure was seen to appear near an antique clock that the Grays had brought with them. The pair noticed that the figure would appear on the edge of the vision often when the clock had wound down. An antique child's writing slate appeared mysteriously in the attic in a place that had been empty. The slate bore the name of one of Stephen Farnam's grandkids.
The Grays researched the history of the mansion and discovered that multiple people had died there and that stories of it being haunted predated the Grays' ownership. There are three deaths recorded as having happened within the house just from the time of the Farnams' ownership. Stephen, his wife Elizabeth and their 31-year-old son Fred are all said to have died there. Stephen and Elizabeth lost another son at the age of one, but he appears not to have died in the mansion itself. Later occupants to die within the mansion include Dr. Robert Crockett (who died in his basement laboratory) and Dr. William Hummer (the third doctor to own the place) and Hummer's wife Shirley.
The earliest mentions of possible haunting dated back to 1913 when Mary Dyer Jackson sold the property after a mere five months of ownership. Rumors that the place was haunted began to circulate among the Oneida townsfolk shortly after. A local article had also been written by the owner previous to Gerri Gray, describing his witnessing an apparition of a man near a mirror in the downstairs hallway. The apparition is said to have resembled the deceased Dr. Hummer.
Gerri and Brian invited the New York Shadow Chasers to conduct a paranormal investigation of the home. A video of the investigation can be viewed on YouTube (see Related Sites below).
Events at the Collinwood Inn
Besides regular tours offered (see Visiting the Collinwood Inn below), the Collinwood has also begun offering special events. They have held haunted explorations of the house that allowed participants to bring their own ghost-detecting gear and work alongside the New York Shadow Chasers. In 2011, the Grays also hosted a Halloween Masquerade Ball to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Central New York. The Masquerade is planned as being an annual event, featuring old-fashioned Halloween parlor games, fortune-telling, food, non-alcoholic drinks, a candlelight tour, a raffle and a costume contest. The event was held twice in 2011, once on Halloween itself and once the weekend prior for anyone unable to attend on Halloween night. The event was free to attend for guests who had booked rooms at the B&B. Check the Collinwood Inn Web site (see Related Sites below) for details on new and upcoming events.
Visiting the Collinwood Inn
Anyone wishing to book a room at the Collinwood Inn should visit their Web site (See Related Sites below). Upon request, guests who stay the night may participate in candlelight tours, Victorian parlor games or private showings of the films
House of Dark Shadows
(1970) and
Night of Dark Shadows
(1971). Both movies were shot at the Lyndhurst Mansion (see
Lyndhurst Mansion
), a little over 200 miles away in Tarrytown, New York. Hosts, Gerri and Brian, also offer tours of the house for non-guests as well as conducting tours of the nearby Glenwood Cemetery, in which Stephen Farnam and other members of his family are buried.

Hospitality Rattan Hospitality Rattan Havana Two Drawer Nightstand - Natural Bamboo
Sophisticated, modern, and beautiful, the Hospitality Rattan Havana Two Drawer Nightstand - Natural Bamboo is a gorgeous accent piece in any room. One of the most unique bamboo collections found anywhere in the world, the Havana bedroom col...lection is handmade out of authentic Bamboo with a natural bamboo finish. Incorporating a crushed bamboo laminate as the decor on the drawers, this nightstand is truly one-of-a-kind. Featuring expert craftsmanship, the drawers are made with metal glides for hassle free operation. Bamboo is also a renewable resource so this nightstand isnt just sophisticated and unique, but also environmentally friendly. Over time this piece may develop hairline cracks which is a natural occurrence with bamboo. About Hospitality Rattan Hospitality Rattan has been a leading manufacturer and distributor of contract quality rattan, wicker, and bamboo furnishings since 2000. The companys product lines have become dominant in the Casual Rattan, Wicker, and Outdoor Markets because of their quality construction, variety, and attractive design. Designed for buyers who appreciate upscale furniture with a tropical feel, Hospitality Rattan offers a range of indoor and outdoor collections featuring all-aluminum frames woven with Viro or Rehau synthetic wicker fiber that will not fade or crack when subjected to the elements. Hospitality Rattan furniture is manufactured to hospitality specifications and quality standards, which exceed the standards for residential use. Hospitality Rattans Environmental Commitment Hospitality Rattan is continually looking for ways to limit their impact on the environment and is always trying to use the most environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques and materials possible. The company manufactures the highest quality furniture following sound and responsible environmental policies, with minimal impact on natural resources. Hospitality Rattan is also committed to achieving environmental best practices throughout its activity whenever this is practical and takes responsibility for the development and implementation of environmental best practices throughout all operations. Hospitality Rattan maintains a policy of continuous environmental improvement and therefore is a continuing work in progress. Hospitality Rattans Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing Process All of Hospitality Rattan products are green. From its basic raw materials of rattan poles, peels, leather, bamboo, abaca, lampacanay, wood, leather strips, and boards, down to other materials like nails, staples, water-based adhesives, finishes, stains, glazes and packing materials, all have minimum impact to the environment and are safe, biodegradable, recycled, and mostly recyclable. Aside from this, the products have undergone an environmentally-friendly process that makes them "greener." The companys rattan components are sourced from sustained-yield managed forests, which means the methods used to grow and harvest the rattan vines ensure the long-term life of the forest and protect the biodiversity of the forests ecosystems. Hospitality Rattan is committed to buying and using all materials, from rattan and hardwood to finishing materials, from reputable and renewable suppliers and seeks appropriate evidence that suppliers are in compliance with this policy. Hospitality Rattan strives to use materials that are processed in an environmentally responsible manner, or consist of a high level of recycled material. Finishing materials and stains used in Hospitality Rattans furniture products consist of 75% water-based solutions which evaporate upon application with reduced or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The furniture factories use water-based glues, stains, topcoats and other finishes on all of their products. The switch from traditional solvent-based processes to water-based processes involved consolidating several processes by the factories, resulting in an 85% reduction in VOC emissions. read more

Updated: November 29, 2012
Taylor Dering, who plead guilty to the crime, has been sentenced to 80 years in prison for the sexual assault of an elderly woman after Dering knocked on her door, claiming to have a question about a truck belonging to her late husband.
The victim gave her testimony on Tuesday, saying that Dering then forced his way into her home where she tried to fight him off, but could not.
Dering's DNA was found in the home, as well as on the victim's body.
Police were able to track Dering after the attack due to a device he was wearing on his ankle.
Dering was already on probation for the sexual assault of a child in East Texas.

The move takes effect on 15 January 2004, and is aimed at contributing to rebuilding one of New Zealand's most popular sport fish stocks.
The new minimum size is among a number of recent changes for the kingfish fishery. Kingfish was introduced into the Quota Management System (QMS) on 1 October 2003, and commercial catch limits and allowances were set for the first time.
MFish considers the increase in the recreational size limit will have the dual benefits of restraining recreational landings within the set allowance, and also improving the yield from the fishery.
Recreational fishers support the change, and some have already voluntarily set bag limits of one fish a day, and introduced size limits of one metre in fishing contests.

Get warm by getting cold! The Polar Wrap is an invigorating and relaxing treatment now offered at Juut. Your session begins by being wrapped in an icy cold, wet sheet, and then wrapped in several layers of warm, cozy blankets. While you relax for an hour, your body will warm up and may even sweat. You will be amazed at how quiet and calm you feel. Your warm-up is then followed by a full body massage in which you will find your body and mind quiet and relaxed. Your therapist will then have the ability to sink right in to your tightest spots with ease and comfort. Due to the process of cooling down and warming up, your therapist will be able to access knots that could never be reached before! Cold therapy is extremely beneficial for the entire body and is often used to enhance immunity through increased red and white blood cell production, soothe digestion, detoxify (when cold, blood leaves the surface of the body and then the blood flows back to the surface tissues of the body as it warms - thereby providing detoxification of the organs), relax tight muscles, relieve aches and pains, sedate the central nervous system and reduce excess body fluids. 120 Minute Polar Wrap Master Artist | $205 - $225 Senior Artist | $170 - $185 Studio Artist | $145 - $155 VICHY TREATMENT When you receive a Vichy Treatment, you relax and float away as seven adjustable jets caress and invigorate your body with roughly 15 gallons of water per minute, producing an effect of floating on water. Your massage therapist will adjust the temperature and pressure pattern of water so your whole body is massaged, bringing you into a state of blissful relaxation. During the Vichy treatment, you lie on a padded table, with the water jets over you. Specific benefits of a Vichy Treatment include detoxification, increasing blood circulation, boosting immune system, hydration, improving muscle tone, and reducing stress. Vichy treatments are especially effective after body scrubs and masques, producing enhanced benefits through your system. Our 45 minute Vichy Treatment includes exfoliation, 60 minute Vichy includes a masque and our 90 minute Vichy includes an elixir. Your massage therapist will be happy to discuss the goal of your visit to help determine the Juut Vichy Treatment best for you! Vichy is not recommended for those with: - high blood pressure - pregnancy - open lesions/wounds on skin - body waxing or shaving less than 24 hours prior to Vichy service - diabetes - phlebitis - varicose veins - thrombosis 45 minute Vichy Treatment Master Artist | $120 - $140 Senior Artist | $95 - $105 Studio Artist | $80 - $85 60 minute Vichy Treatment Master Artist | $160 - $175 Senior Artist | $135 - $145 Studio Artist | $115 - $120 90 minute Vichy Treatment Master Artist | $205 - $225 Senior Artist | $170 - $185 Studio Artist | $145 - $155 Massage services are taxable. Vichy Treatment is available in our Wayzata spa only.

5 Luxury Goods Stocks for Santa Claus Rally
Bain & Company forecasts 18% growth for watches and jewelry sales in 2011 as consumers are increasingly migrating from unbranded luxury purchases to branded purchases. The firm forecasts 14% growth for brand-owned stores, which is 50% higher than the increase forecast for third-party retailers, and estimates that direct-owned boutiques now represent 30% of luxury sales worldwide.
The luxury good finds a good market in Middle East, as Chinese customers in Gulf have been ranked as the world's No.2 luxury customers behind Americans, according to consultancy Bain & Co. Emerging markets -- such as China, Brazil and the Middle East -- are transforming the luxury industry, with total sales in 2011 expected to top $265 billion. Euromonitor predicts the value of the luxury goods market in the UAE market to increase by 16% in 2011 to $2.31 billion.

North Carolina House Minority Leader Joe Hackney will visit Richmond County to be the keynote speaker at the Richmond County Democratic Party's annual Morrison-Deane-Goodman dinner on Oct. 18.
The dinner and rally will begin at 6 p.m. at Browder Park in Rockingham. Dinner tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Democratic Party Election Headquarters in Richmond Plaza Shopping Center.
Currently serving his 15th term, Hackney has also served as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, House Democratic Leader, House Majority Leader and Speaker Pro Tempore. During his tenure, Representative Hackney has been one of the General Assembly's leading advocates for openness in government and champions ethics and lobbying reform.
The Morrison-Deane-Goodman dinner is held annually to honor the memory of three outstanding Democrats from Richmond County; Cameron Morrison, former Governor and U.S. Senator; C.B. Dean, former Congressman and early advocate for civil rights reform in the 1950s; and R.W. Goodman, longest-serving elected Sheriff in North Carolina and political patron for more than six decades.
The Democratic Party chair Jane Layton said, "This year's dinner and rally will mark the beginning of early voting. A number of local, state and congressional Democratic candidates and elected officials are expected to be in attendance and will also be given the chance to speak with the crowd."

Presidential Election and the Markets
Written by: Jeff Kleintop
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. The market's impact on the election, The election's impact on the markets, The economy's impact on the election, and The election's impact on the economy. Franklin D. Roosevelt was re-elected in a landslide victory in 1940, despite losses in the S&P 500 in the third and fourth years of his term. Harry Truman (1948) and Richard Nixon (1972) also were re-elected in the face of lackluster stock market results. Adlai Stevenson lost in 1952, even though the stock market rose over 50% in the two years before the election under his party's leadership. Incumbent George H. W. Bush lost in 1992, even with a 57% gain in the stock market during his tenure. Al Gore was unable to secure the presidency in 2000, despite the powerful eight-year stock market gain while under his party's tenure in the White House. History shows that voters are unwilling to attribute moves in the market directly to presidents, either positive or negative.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- This week marks six months until election day. During the next six months, the elections will likely become an increasingly potent driver of the markets. While we believe the impact for changes to the makeup of Congress may be more meaningful than the presidential election, we will tackle that in a later commentary. In this week's commentary, we focus on the presidential election's relationship to the performance of the markets and economy. Specifically, we address:

Listen! Stop to guzzle. The bean still is not present! - for the Bean to wait - you know... The Bean the person dependent:
when will release, then will come. And one minute earlier...
You only have a snack, please. I beg you, Vadim, not nadirajsja. Wait...
Dzyn-dzyn-dzyn - a knife on wine-glass edge. Tengiz. Has decided that it is time, and it was excited to action.
Misters! The lady and gentlemen! Attention! You that here - have come to guzzle? Stop obzhiralovku, a pancake! At first -
business! - here and! (It is Vadim. Already on a platoon and already even - with search.) Vadim Hristoforova's business, a
sobriquet - Rezalting - the Swagger Appears! Pr-rashu! Here there is I p'r'd you, as if golenky...
Yes keep silent you, for God's sake! Give a glass!. You are not able after all to drink, an ass with the handle, absolutely...
D-yes! But I am able to get drunk! - it is silent! Shut up all! We begin. Circumstances of business by all izvest - ny? I believe,
To Vova are not known.
Vova peretopchetsja. I to grandfathers address: all in a course? Grandfathers were well informed. All. Some heard this history
already a neobottom - multiply - and from Vadim, and from each other. All and all was clear. And nobody knew that it is
necessary to do.
At me the question to Dimke, - has told Bogdan. - They a cut ` alis lately? Or not? - Whence to me the nobility, - Vadim has
spoken, is drunk drawling words.
- They at me phone pr-rslushivajut, suki...
When you them saw last time? - Patiently drew Bogdan.
"Not in this life..." - Vadim istericheski has giggled.
Lag behind it, - Bogdanu anxious Matvej has told. - That you have stuck to the person? He does not know anything else.
Also does not think.
I see-see, - Bogdan has told and has become silent.
Anything at us it will not turn out, he has thought. We either are indifferent, or are powerless. Powerless this world... But
here that is amazing: after all I, apparently, envy it. For it hunt, from it for something else wait, it is necessary to someone,
either disturbs to someone, or can be useful to someone.
Treplo, the weakling, the gruel, but represents after all itself a certain value, and, seemingly, the considerable. And I here -
am empty. And it is necessary to nobody. As exhausted bank from under beer...
Vadim meanwhile promptly nadiralsja. Matvej it sufficed for hands, selected a glass, put aside far away bottles - helped
It seemed, Vadim aim before itself has put literally: nadratsja vgluhuju, - as it is possible osnovatelnee and as soon as
possible. And most likely, so it also was actually. Perhaps, he has got tired to be sober. "... All who to you of roads, are
worthy the best... - it proclaimed, listening to nobody and nothing hearing. - I simply my head also go... What you in general
can understand? Heard about the such: Erast Bonifatevich call... Gay Bonifatevich... If I had near at hand a double-barrelled
gun, I would fill this a bough a muzzle..." - and he roared with laughter, coughed laughter, choked laughter, being randomly
shaken all over, as if a balloon on a wind.

The Little Car Show hits Pacific Grove on Aug. 15
It's no secret that there's a cadre of us here at Autoweek who find ourselves wholly smitten with diminutive automobiles. From obvious classics such as the O.G. Cinquecento and the Honda 600 on down to more obscure creations such as the honey-I-shrunk-the-Beatnik-Bandit Peel Trident and Gabriel Voisin's last automobile, the formidable Bisc�ter, microcars stoke a spot that all of the Porsche-Kremer 935K3s and Locomobile Model 48s in the world just can't reach.
As such, we're heading down to Monterey early this year to check out the Little Car Show in Pacific Grove on Aug. 15. Truly an event for the mobile proletariat, there's no entry fee for either participants or spectators. The show is held right on Lighthouse Avenue in the heart of town. Though this year's event focuses on British micro transport innovations, it's open to all manner of classic mini runabouts. Last we heard, nobody is bringing a Bisc�ter, which--given Peter Mullin's win last year at Pebble Beach with a Voisin C25 Aerodyne--seems like a gross oversight.
However, there's still time! Registration closes on July 31. MicroVoisinophiles, get in your bad Bisc�ters and drive! Anybody who arrives at the Little Car Show in a Bisc�ter with Sammy Hagar riding shotgun--whether they're entered into the show or not--will win a special prize from Autoweek. We're not saying what it is, but it definitely involves senior online editor Rory Carroll and some type of ice cream. Perhaps a cr�pe or two. We'll figure it out. Promise.
In the meantime, interested parties can sign up here.
Monterey car week is packed with car shows, vintage racing and car auctions. Autoweek will be there providing streaming photo galleries and live coverage of the Pebble Beach Concours, historic racing at Laguna Seca, the Monterey car auctions and plenty more. Go to autoweek.com/pebblebeach for complete coverage and live updates.

Coastal Enterprises Inc. of Wiscasset and its for-profit arm, CEI Capital Management of Portland, have been allocated millions in two new market tax credit and capital investment programs.
The U.S. Department of Treasury awarded CEI $95 million as part of its New Markets Tax Credit program, according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe. The program provides a 39% federal tax credit for investments made in community development entities like CEI that finance businesses and economic development projects. The Treasury Department, however, did not approve Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority's application to be a NMTC allocatee and receive funding for redeveloping the former Brunswick Naval Air Station.
The Finance Authority of Maine also recently announced that CEI Capital Management was allocated $41.7 million through the newly created Maine New Markets Capital Investment Program, according to a press release. The program, established last year, is modeled after the federal NMTC program and is designed to attract investment in economically distressed areas. Eligible investors are allowed to claim tax credits against state taxes of up to 39% of the project's total cost. FAME administers the program along with Maine Revenue Services. Allocatees have two years to utilize their tax credit allocations. FAME also allocated the same amount of funding to six other out-of-state entities.

So, I have a class that I need to wake up really early to get to, and often times I don't wake up early enough to get breakfast.
Food isn't allowed in the building, for whatever-fucking-reason. Like, there's no carpet in my fucking classroom. Even if I spilled something, it would take minute to wipe up, but whatevs. Like, the teacher is super anal (hurr) about this rule.
But me, being the fucking genius I am, have come up with a way around it.
Bring it on, college professors.
Quit while you're behind, new kid.Originally Posted by Mephistopheles to the Lord-Faust, Goethe
Clever. Though good luck be with you should the teacher somehow find out.

Tomato soup?
Hopefully the people around you lack in either smelling prowess or tattling disposition.
Who the fuck would make up that mentally challenged rule? In my University, food is allowed everywhere, in every building, for any reason. Even if you rather stick your foot long up your bum than eat it, then that's your choice. I always bring my lunch to class, sometimes diner.
Good thinking though.
I did this same thing with beer apple juice in highschool.
Homestuck. Try it.

Christmas gifts being donated to church to give to 1,000 needy children
To contribute to needy children via the Triumph Church's "Giving Tree," call 313-386-8044 or 248-443-8111. Drop-off times for gifts at 15600 J.L. Hudson Drive at the Millennium Theatre are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Triumph Church — which has three Sunday services in Southfield at the Millennium Theatre behind Northland Mall — is working to provide more than 1,000 needy children with at least one complete outfit this Christmas.
Each outfit, member Steve Anderson said, includes pants, a shirt and shoes or dress and shoes or a coat and boots as well as one toy this Christmas.
This is a record as far as the largest number of requests for gifts from Triumph Church's "Giving Tree" project, which has been providing clothes and toys to children since 1999.
The first "Giving Tree" provided for 80 kids.
"People are hurting financially," said Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr., senior pastor of Triumph Church.
"They have lost jobs. There are fewer and fewer places to even find employment. Those that are working are using every dime to provide housing and heat. Those who have cars can barely afford gas for work. It's a battle on every side," Kinloch said.
The church offers three worship services on Sunday mornings at 8:45 a.m., 10:45 a.m. and 12:45 a.m. The three services are held at the Millennium Centre in Southfield.
"Imagine on Christmas morning, a child runs to the Christmas Tree — if there is one — and there's nothing there," said Kinloch. "As a community, we must fill this gap. We are 'blessed' to be a blessing." Continued...
In this economy, non-profits — especially churches — are hit particularly hard by the lack of household income, even among churchgoers, he said.
People have less discretionary income and the church tithes and offerings are oftentimes the first to go when weighed against rent, mortgage, lights, heat or gas.
"Even though the church is not exempt for financial struggles in this economy, we refuse to stop doing ministry and helping those who are in need," Kinloch said. "God is going to help us help these children — and we know there are some angels out here in Oakland County who can help us."
Triumph Church is asking that those "angels" provide one complete new outfit or pair of child boots or a coat for a boy or girl coat or teenager and one toy — from bikes and dolls to trucks and electronic games — to the Millennium Center, 15600 J.L. Hudson Drive in Southfield from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11 through Friday, Dec. 14.
"Please do what you can to help make this Christmas a memorable one for a needy child," Kinloch said.

BSA study finds that software contributes considerably more value to national economies if it is properly licensed than it does if it is pirated.
The first-ever report to track year-over-year change in the international policy landscape for cloud computing shows that cloud readiness is improving, if unevenly.
How a new wave of trade protectionism is spreading through the world's fastest-growing IT markets — and what to do about it.
Emerging markets drove the commercial value of software theft to a new record $63 billion in 2011.

BSA Global Software Piracy Study: Shadow Market
BSA | The Software Alliance today applauded Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) for introducing legislation that adds constructive momentum to the debate about how to curb unwarranted patent litigation.
A new study from BSA and INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, finds that increasing the amount of properly licensed software in use globally by 1 percent would add an estimated $73 billion to the world economy, compared to $20 billion from pirated software — meaning there is a $53 billion advantage associated with using licensed software.
BSA welcomes an amendment adopted in the US Senate Judiciary Committee to improve immigration-reform legislation (S. 744) by ensuring that temporary visa programs protect American workers while enabling greater access to critically needed talent and skills from abroad.
BSA advances the global interests of companies that create software. These innovative companies invest billions of dollars to develop software and services, commercializing them and their intellectual property through a variety of business models.
