It is funny how a song or even an entire album can evoke certain emotions. When I listen to any Beach Boys tunes, I feel warm. I feel the sun. And I feel content. I want to be in love, or to be loved. Or drive my dad's car to the shore. There are so many feelings wrapped up in their sound. Simply put, it is the sound of summer.
Those perfectly scored harmonies are enigmatic, sweet and addictive to listen to.
The Beach Boys celebrate their 50th anniversary this month, and with that comes a long-awaited reunion and tour, which they previewed at February's Grammy Awards.
But for a band that has far from a harmonious history, whatever songwriter and lead singer Brian Wilson might have running through his mind at any given time while composing Beach Boys songs, each one can be appreciated in some way. Some are singularly among the most amazing musical pieces written during modern times.
Critics may say: "It's only songs about surfing and girls and cars."
But the brilliance of what Brian Wilson contributed to the Beach Boys, even while battling debilitating mental illness during the late '60s to mid '80s, was his use of popular culture as a vehicle to market his talent for writing elaborate harmonies, sound experimentation, and melody composition. He invented techniques that had previously not been pulled off inside a recording studio.
Wilson says it's
"I think it's like, when people hear music that is spiritual it gets through… I don't have any power in this world, but I have spiritual power. I think God gave me my music and my talent. I'm trying to get across a feeling of spirituality; I think I have a spiritual influence on people. I think if we put out our hearts and souls in… we'll get a serious, heart and soul reaction."
I know my soul reacts when the guitar part breaks in on "Don't Worry Baby." And others have noted this exact guitar intro has influenced their music, from Stax recording artist Steve Cropper to T. Rex's Marc Bolan to even pop-kitsch band MGMT.
In recent years droves of indie bands have grasped onto the Beach Boys sound, taking their pop style and mixing in overdriven psychedelia with cranked up distorted reverb to create songs of the same style, yet of another generation. The Flaming Lips, Best Coast, Spiritualized and even garage-rock stalwarts The Reigning Sound have all held on to the Beach Boys influences, by emulating or assimilating the sound into their own in some way.
The Wilson brothers along with bandmates Mike Love and Al Jardin may not have realized in the beginning that their lush pop songs would influence so many generations. I can only say infinite thanks, because God only knows what our music would be without them.

This is a great futon frame. I had no problems putting it together, or folding it up and down between couch and bed. It is strong and well designed. The open sides on the arm rests make it very easy to move around, but also easy for pillows to fall through.

We bought this for our teenage daughter to be put under a twin size loft. The futon is comfortable and nice enough looking, but is extremely difficult to convert from a bed back to a couch; it takes two people. We bought an eight inch futon mattress, and maybe the weight of the mattress makes it difficult.

This ad is totally misleading... Yes it has 'frame' in the headline, but the pic includes a futon mattress and cover. Since it is a frame for sale, the pic should show a FRAME [- with at most a smaller side pic to let you know what it looks like with a mattress...]... So - it is not the deal it appears... Returning product is not recommended; of my price, I will in essence be getting about 25% back[...]... I believe this is a standard totally decent frame - as long as you are not trying to get it at a good price...

I bought this bed for my 9 year old daughter, who absolutely loves it! After a visit to my friend's house my daughter had seen her daughter's futon..ever since she wanted one. After making sure she really wanted it within days we purchased it from Cymax and bought the mattress seperate at another store-- She says she gets a good night sleep and it is quite comfortable.. So comfy we hardly see her anymore--She is in her room on her futon!

Although a little harder to put together than I expected, I like this futon. My daughters boyfriend helped assemble it, for which I was grateful as it was difficult getting the bed section properly attached to the frame. It is light enough to move around as needed and my daughter says it is comfortable for her to sleep on. I found it worth the price.[...]

Our daughter is in College living with 3 other roommates. They are hard on furniture and broke the wood futon frame. Needed something inexpensive, but durable. This frame is both. My daughter said assembly was easy and it looks great. The frame was shipped as promised. Will check Cymax Store website again in the future.

Dueling High Schools in Texarkana
By: KTAL-TV, Shreveport, LA
Updated: November 29, 2012
The district has announced a new program that will allow students to take college level courses while in high school.
Students would be allowed to complete enough courses to earn an associate degree at the same time they pick up their high school diploma.
On the Arkansas side of the line, the Texarkana School District also provides some college level courses, but so far, not enough to qualify for an associate degree.

Do dogs or cats make the better pet? After centuries of debate, still no agreement has been reached. Which are the most affectionate? The most intelligent? Here is a collection of observations which may (or may not) help you decide:
∙ If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer - Alfred North Whitehead
∙ Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow - Jeff Valdez
∙ Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you - Mary Bly
∙ No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens - Abraham Lincoln
∙ The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it. - Doug Larson
∙ Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God - Unknown
∙ I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals - Winston Churchill
∙ Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this - Unknown
∙ You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog - Harry S. Truman
∙ Most cats, when they are Out want to be In, and vice versa, and often simultaneously - Louis J. Camuti

∙ People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life - Faith Resnick
∙ Dogs do not use older computers. They can't stick their heads out of Windows 98 - Unknown
∙They say the dog is man's best friend. I don't believe that. How many of your friends have you neutered? - Larry Reeb
∙ A cat isn't fussy - just so long as you remember he likes his milk in the shallow, rose-patterned saucer and his fish on the blue plate. From which he will take it, and eat it off the floor - Arthur Bridges
∙ I have a great dog. She's half Lab, half pit bull. A good combination. Sure, she might bite off my leg, but she'll bring it back to me - Jimi Celeste

Brick Schools Return Today As District Reaches Out to Displaced Students
Students now out-of-district may still attend school in Brick
Brick Township students will return to school Monday after two weeks off thanks to Hurricane Sandy.
All schools will start their day at the normal time, officials said.
But some students will be far away from their usual bus stops. Many students in the township's Shore Acres, Baywood, Cherry Quay and – most notably – the barrier island neighborhoods have been displaced from their homes and, as a consequence, their schools.
But school district officials have pledged to rectify the situation and, to the extent they can, keep Brick Township students in Brick Township schools while they may be staying in other local communities temporarily.
Superintendent Dr. Walter Uszenski made the pledge last week, and has followed up by asking those whose families have been displaced by the storm to contact his office at 732-785-3000, ext. 1019.
The Board of Education is prepared to set up and provide transportation for those students who have been displaced and are residing locally in neighboring towns, the district has announced.
Uszenski is also advising any students or parents that are residing or seeking shelter in another district to contact that district's superintendent. A list of superintendents can be found on a state website.

That was shown on NJ12 news. They instituted a small fee ( I think it was $3 for a small bag of clothing and $5 for a large one) as they felt that some people who were not genuinely in need were taking the donated clothing.
I believe the food was free for everyone.

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Honda, McLaren As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well. According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer? originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 21 May 2013 16:02:00 EST.

There's a buy-in option now.
I think the cheapest one is $10 to join 'closed' beta.
For those who played it, is it worth getting into?
There's a buy-in option now.
I think the cheapest one is $10 to join 'closed' beta.
For those who played it, is it worth getting into?
I only played it a little bit, but I liked what I saw. I figured it would be overshadowed once DIII came out, but since that crashed and burned it may be that PoE is the top contender for dungeon-crawling action right now. Guild Wars 2 is the only game I'm actively playing, but if I got tired of that I could see myself going back to PoE.
I just can never get into PoE. I've tried on numerous occasions and it just doesn't seem as much fun. Torchlight 2 is pretty good though. I think i'd rate it above PoE.
Yeah the skill system in PoE was a turn off for me. Getting my abilities through gems placed in my gear just didn't sit well with me. I liked the extensive skill trees where you could choose multiple paths and the atmosphere for the game was pretty good as well but I ended up not sinking a lot of time into this one. I've played far more Torchlight.

PoE is, in my opinion, the best action RPG since Diablo 2.
That said, I can't think of a lot of action RPGs I've played in the intervening years. Just Torchlight 1, Titan Quest, and Diablo 3.
All three of these are fine games in their own right, but they each had as many drawbacks that I couldn't stand to invest time into the game like I did with Diablo 2.
Torchlight had little draw for me because the game does basically nothing to stop you from modding or cheating. I don't like to self impose limitations.
I felt like the controls were a bit wonky, and the game wasn't very deep - skills were underwhelming so the skill tree was underwhelming.
I got about 20 hours from this game, which was well worth it considering it was pretty cheap. Also; the developers weren't trying to create the game I was looking for.
Titan Quest was good, but and seemed like I could really get into it for a while, but eventually it became very dull and there were some annoying aspects and mechanics.
I played about 50 hours according to Steam.
Diablo 3 was of course the next big hope I had. I don't see any reason to expand on the reasons that it failed.
I still logged about a 100 hours on the game, though I was definitely not having fun for at least 50 of those hours.
The best thing about PoE is the depth of character development.
Everyone has seen the ginormous skill tree. I love to just sit back and relax, spending time planning. I'd say I've probably logged at least a few hours just making builds on their website. A great thing about it is that it's something that you can always improve on so there's always some driving force to play beyond searching for items.
Skill gems gives another reason to play, not as much of a driving force, but you at least get to see a level up skill gem button every so often. Skill gems and support gems also give a ton of flexibility and add another layer to character building and planning.
Items are lackluster but I would say the same thing about almost all action RPGs (besides Diablo 2). At least the items aren't boiled down to a few important stats, you can mostly gear towards whatever you want as long as you can find the right type of armor and the right sockets. Sockets are another thing that make me think longer term. Oh what I'd do with a 6 linked body armor.
GGG has made some interesting uniques, though I've only found 2 while I leveled my witch to 67, one was a useless shield and the other was a ring that gave the equivalent as one of the skill tree keystones.
Ultimately, I think the biggest problem with items (and this was in Diablo 2 as well), is that magic find is a stat (or rather improved quantity and improved quality are stats). Seeing as the main goal of ARPGs is item grinds, this means that even if I find some super awesome item, if it would replace an item with a lot of magic find, I can't really stand to replace it. This always leaves me feeling a bit awkward because it means that ultimately I'm just farming for better magic find gear so that I can find better magic find gear.
The currency system is genius, albeit frustrating at times - it sucks that you have to blow hundreds of currency items on a chance of improving an item, and it sucks even more that the chance is so small that it's not entirely unlikely that you could end up blowing 10 times as much without getting the right upgrade. Gamblers might like it, but I will probably just trade for most really rare things like that.
I'm probably a bit biased because the only class I've played significantly is a summoning witch, and my favorite class in Diablo 2 was a summoning necromancer. PoE is the only game I've found that gave the same experience, and it is spectacular.
I tried playing a ranger and a templar, but I didn't get very far with either. The ranger got to about level 20, it was an OK experience. I gave up on the templar before level 10 because melee is just not fun.
With melee, stopping to attack feels so awkward, the only melee character I played in Diablo 2 was a WW barbarian, which (with a little life steal and mana steal) would just mow through every mob I found without stopping.
I think most ARPGs don't do this, they probably think they need to avoid it add more depth to the gameplay. I can't argue with the thought, but I will say I find it less enjoyable.
I generally dislike the idea of games supported by micro transactions, but the developers say it won't be pay-2-win and I believe them.
I've logged nearly 80 hours in the game, but I stopped playing until they go into open beta cause I don't want to spend the time playing just to have it wiped out. I expect to log much more time when open beta happens.
I've also read that they plan on releasing expansions/new acts for a long time (assuming they stay afloat and it's worth it), so hopefully that will keep the game fresh. Right now, I'd totally be willing to spend like $5-$10 per act, but I don't even know if they plan on charging for them since that's pretty close to pay-2-win unless it's the same level creatures and same loot but new environments and different mobs.

I got it. It's fun. Very much an RPG and not really an 'A'RPG but for ten bucks it's keeping my attention from borderlands and that's saying something.
Thank maybe for this passive planner they have on their site...
Nothing is really grabbing me except the spells so far, but I like being tanky. Think I'll specialize a templar real hard towards blue. Cast speed and cold damage. I don't think I need to bother with AoE passives. It's big enough, and there are support gems later.

Dude.. hating Torchlight because it allows mods is like hating any Bethesda game for the same reason. It was intended to be moddable from the first. You're not self-limiting yourself by not getting mods that allow you to cheat. You're going out of your way to cheat, if that's what you're downloading. It's a conscious decision on your part to cheat.
First; I don't hate torchlight - you read that into my post - I liked it for as much as I played it, and if I wanted to play it again I'd buy TL2, TL1 was a great game.
Second; you must not have read the whole post because I said "the developers weren't trying to create the game I was looking for" - so I acknowledged that it just wasn't my game. That's the primary reason I didn't get hooked.
Modding is a great thing. It's not something I'm interested in playing with in torchlight, but something I totally understand that others might.
I love mods in certain games I've played (Eg. Bethesda and Valve games).
I probably put too much emphasis on disliking mods in torchlight by putting it in the first sentence, sorry if it came out like I was hating on the game for that reason. What I really meant was that the possibly of mods was one aspect that stopped me from really getting into the game.
But this is entirely illogical? Just because you can mod it doesn't mean you have to(or in your case, even should). Just seems to me like you have some pretty fuzzy logic on the matter. You can cheat in nearly every game out there, via trainers, mods, or even built in cheats. So do you not play these games, just because cheating is possible?
No, I still play games with cheating and mods, all I said that in this one case it was one thing that contributed towards me not wanting to spend a hundred hours grinding.
If you don't understand the opinion that cheating and modding might lessen the feeling of accomplishment in this situation, I doubt that I'll be able to convince you and I don't intend to.

I don't think I ever said I must do them, and I didn't mean to imply it.
So, if you don't feel compelled to do so, then wouldn't the fact that(in this case, mods for torchlight) they exist be irrelevant? I'm just not understand how something purely optional, that you have to go out of your way to even have anything to do with, could impact your experience negatively.
We're not on the same wavelength and I'm bored with discussing this.
Pretend all I said was that 'I didn't like torchlight as much as Path of Exile'.

After playing more of the game I quickly remembered how much I loathe status effects in APRG's, especially chill/frozen. So that narrowed me to the DEX side between shadow and duelist. That corner holds all the status effect reduction in the game and a passive to make you immune to stun is on the STR-DEX border. I liked the Shadow more than the Duelist or Ranger, so I started there but it wouldn't be hard at all to adapt the build to any of the three.
My dip into blue for crit and red for damage yields enough INT/STR to comfortably use any support gem in the game. A little mana leech on top of that lets me run multiple Auras including Purity (+RES all) and use a kite shield(+RES all). The Armour/Evade bonuses look low, but with that passive converting Evade Rating directly into Armour I have three sets of gear to choose from (pure Armour, hybrid Armour and Evade Rating, and pure Evade Rating gear) and I can cherry pick the most favorable pieces for every slot. I have some mechanics concerns with the passive increases, but I did not go out of my way to get them so I can easily swap for pure Armour passives if the Evade Rating ones don't calculate favorably.
Attack speed and crit chance are harder to come by in STR territory and the STR-INT area's crit is spell specific so I expect my DPS to be decent compared to theirs. The added bonus is that attack speed also serves to free me from the DPS sand trap of the Frenzy skill. Since I already attack so quickly I can take my pick of the many fancy attack skills instead (stacking % based damage increases > stacking % based swing time reductions). Not to mention teleport speed leap slams for initiation o.o (Leap slam's animation time is affected by swing speed).

You shouldn't plan a build to 111 points, the highest level on the ladder is 85 and only 14 people have gotten above level 80 on the legacy ladder, and 3 more on the hardcore legacy ladder
Assuming you get to level 80 and take all skill points from the quest in the second act you'll only have like 96 (? I think it's 2 skill points from quests per act).
I would say planning for an endgame of level 70 is fair, after that it's just gravy.
Chill and freeze are definitely annoying status effects, I was never bothered by shock or ignite, are they affected by resistance?
I noticed you put 1 extra point you don't need near the Ranger starting area - you can get rid of 10% 1 handed accuracy or 10 dexterity without losing anything else. Seems getting rid of the dexterity would be worth dropping.
How do you plan on healing? Only from flasks? You are right next to a 1.5% per second healing notable at the bottom of the tree. It's probably not a lot but it's at least small amount of passive healing.
Is 2% mana leech enough to keep you going? I haven't tried it, so I was wondering if you can sustain on that alone or you still need to use mana flasks?
Can I ask where you got the output summarizing the effects? Everyone on the forums has it formatted like that but I don't know where they got to the tool to do it.
I add the numbers up as I go along to help compare choices. I have access to more wheels of any given type than I can actually spec, so I need to keep track to know if I should do more of one bonus or the other. I wanted the 10% accuracy, but the extra 10 dex spot I can't find and is driving me nutts...
In the end though, you ARE correct. I did not account for time at all. The armor/evasion increases and my neat passives are all so far from the starting area it's not even funny. I can't just go marauder though because I'm spoiled by the attack speed. Even at lv20 I have about what an end-game marauder would have and I want MOOOAAAARRRR
Probably do VeekzVex as a ranger and convert this to a dual wield and pure evade ranger build today, or maybe stay Shadow and start with the far right wall and migrate late game when I have enough respec points. I.T. will have work shut down and I'll have plenty of time for it. I'm going in late and then I'll just be there to help test things if needed. Best case scenario I do one or two action in a few hours and everything works, worst case scenario I do one or two actions in many hours because nothing works!

Removed edits.
Tweaked to trade 9% IAS, for 18% damage and 3% IAS (don't have to go all the way around that wheel for 'fencing', you can short pick it as the second point.), and went around to the ranger stuff other way so I gained dex instead of frenzy charge passives I won't use and the flask bonus.
Later I can tweak this further. I am connected to a crit wheel up north, more flask/max life bonuses, elemental damage, etc. If I want to trade off stats later when I know more it will be easy to do because of how far I travel for the stun immune passive.
Same thing with crit chance, I can short pick the good crit chance passive up north so I dropped the two 15%'s in ranger, and got the 15 and the 40 up north. Free +25% crit chance.

You're all over the place man, and all just for status reducing effects. I don't know if I understand that choice, it's never been that bad for me.
You're still planning 111 points, but you're probably never gonna get more than 90. What kind of character are you planning to play at level 65?
You didn't pick up iron reflexes, did you just miss that? Seeing as you picked Unwavering stance.
Also; blood magic, but that is more likely to have been a conscious choice.
You're picked like 5 or so flask nodes which seems like an odd choice to me. In case you weren't aware, I believe you can only regen 20% of your total health per second (via flasks or lifesteal w/o vaal pact), might consider the numbers, might not be a concern.
There's a +5% max resist notable near Resolute technique that seems good to me. Resists are something you can always make up for in equipment.
I really just stuck that there because I was playing with it and it was time to leave work, haha. Probably should have e-mailed it to myself.
I'm actually continuing with my sword/shield Shadow from the previous post. The game seems to lean on items and actives much harder than skills and you have an endless supply of respec points from item drops, so I'll probably just do the sword and 1h wheels near shadow, and crawl my way towards the end-game spec that way.
I'm just doing the 2h Duelist because it's OP as fuck and I was in a rut on the Shadow having not found any good loot for a while. Smashed through the game in about a tenth the time. Passed my shadow and sent him back a new sword. I'm looking at this right now for the two handed weapon duelist.
It's a lot of travelling, but I'll do that FIRST. Corner +10str instead of Mace+HP passives, skip the side armor passive and the skill cost reduction above it by going through the endurance charge on the first trip. He's still stomping everything's guts out. He hits so hard that it's very few swings (mana costs) per kill. Later when he starts to feel weak I can go lateral to get the defense or offense that I need from both marauder and duelist as needed, and his respec costs will be covered by the quests so I can funnel all respec drops to the shadow.
Edits above, and why am I this hardcore about this game? o.o

Oh snap, sista...
The cold damage spell wheel near where Witch starts has a nice double -chill duration. I might drop my shock and ignite passives on the shadow and see if I can get to that. I really don't like him being chilled.
The witch's closest points are fantastic too. I need to stay up until the bank opens today. Perhaps I'll make a cold damage witch and try to smash norm really fast like I did on my two hander guy. See if two hand is really OP or if my shadow was just wimpy.

21 Airlines Fined for Price-Fixing
March 10, 2011 by admin
Filed under News Stories
March 10th, 2011
AOL News
By: Alicia A. Caldwell
When the airline industry took a nose dive a decade ago, executives at global carriers scrambled to find a quick fix to avoid financial ruin.
What they came up with, according to federal prosecutors, was a massive price-fixing scheme among airlines that artificially inflated passenger and cargo fuel surcharges between 2000 and 2006 to make up for lost profits.
The airlines' crimes cost U.S. consumers and businesses – mostly international passengers and cargo shippers – hundreds of millions of dollars, prosecutors say.
But the airlines caught by the Justice Department have paid a hefty price in the five years since the government's widespread investigation became public.
To date, 19 executives have been charged with wrongdoing – four have gone to prison – and 21 airlines have coughed up more than $1.7 billion in fines in one of the largest criminal antitrust investigations in U.S. history.
The court cases reveal a complex web of schemes between mostly international carriers willing to fix fees in lockstep with competitors for flights to and from the United States.
Convicted airlines include British Airways, Korean Air, and Air France-KLM. No major U.S. carriers have been charged.
The price-fixing unraveled largely because two airlines decided to come clean and turn in their co-conspirators.
In late 2005, officials with German-based Lufthansa notified the Justice Department that the airline had been conspiring to set cargo surcharges. By Valentine's Day 2006, FBI agents and their counterparts in Europe made the investigation public by raiding airline offices. After those raids, British-based Virgin Atlantic came forward about its role in a similar scheme to set fuel surcharges for passengers.
Investigators eventually found a detailed paper trail laying out agreements, stretching back to 2000, to set passenger and cargo fuel surcharges The probe expanded to airlines doing business between the U.S. and Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia.
The Lufthansa and Virgin Atlantic mea culpas allowed them to take advantage of a Justice Department leniency program because they helped crack the conspiracies.
Former Associate Attorney General Kevin J. O'Connor, who oversaw Justice's antitrust division in the late 2000s, said he doesn't know why they confessed, but the result "demonstrates the effectiveness of that amnesty program."
Now in private practice, O'Connor said companies that confess for amnesty may be wisely trying to limit liabilities from illegal conduct.
"Generally speaking, if they have an inkling they might get caught, they come in," O'Connor said. "The theory might be that eventually these things will be exposed and why risk continuing."
Federal prosecutors and investigators declined to discuss details of the cases because they are still investigating.
"Lufthansa Cargo fully cooperated with the investigation launched by DOJ," Martin Riecken, Lufthansa's director of corporate communications for the Americas said. Virgin Atlantic referred all questions to the Justice Department.
Airlines and executives who didn't come forward were charged with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Two former airline executives were sentenced to six months in prison; two others were ordered to prison for eight months. Charges are pending against 15 executives, nine of whom are considered fugitives.
Bruce McCaffrey, one-time vice president of freight for the Americas at the Australian carrier Qantas, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to restrain trade. He was sentenced to six months in prison in 2008. He admitted working with other airlines to fix cargo fuel surcharges between 2000 and 2006.

SOURCE North Carolina's electric cooperatives
RALEIGH, N.C., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Line crews from two of North Carolina's electric cooperatives are joining forces with co-op line crews in Virginia to quickly restore power to the people in that state affected by the late-winter storm.
Crews from Blue Ridge EMC based in Lenoir, N.C. and Rutherford EMC based in Forest City, N.C. traveled north into Virginia early Thursday morning. A total of more than 30 electric cooperative line workers from North Carolina will help the Virginia co-ops with outage restoration efforts.
The deployment of crews is part of a mutual aid agreement shared between the nation's nearly 1,000 electric cooperatives to help one another in times of emergency, such as natural disasters. Electric cooperatives across the country use the same line system engineering standards, which means line crews from any part of the country can quickly help sister cooperatives in restoration efforts.
"Electricity is critical to the way we live, and it's important that people affected by this storm have power restored as quickly as possible," said Jane Pritchard, director of corporate communications for the North Carolina Association of Electric Cooperatives. "We are happy to help our fellow cooperatives and know that they would do the same for us because it's the cooperative way."
North Carolina's electric cooperatives serve approximately 2.5 million people in 93 of the state's 100 counties and maintain nearly 98,000 miles of power lines.

Although the brother of the late John Belushi was sporting the card, no doubt for his infamous gout, the TSA officials were having none of it. Since when was something being "According To Jim" not enough? Obviously the TSA officials were not huge fans of the sitcom. But who doesn't love a lazy ass yet lovable dad? We bet Cheryl wouldn't mind Jim having a blaze as he looks after the kids; or him and Andy slipping out to the garage for a session and some air guitar. But sadly there was no canned laughter or a hearty "Oh Jim!" when the West Tisbury police came sirens blaring. Not even a "But I was in K-9 I, II and III" couldn't save Jim's beloved high. Lucky for the 58 year old, weed possession in Massachusetts is decriminalized and he was simply forced to empty his pockets and give up the goods.
Jim and his publicity team are yet to release a joint statement about the incident.

in La. slaying
HOUMA — A Mississippi woman has been booked with first-degree murder after a man's body was found in a south Terrebonne Parish swamp near Dulac.
Ciegie Brown Cheramie, 25, of Ovett, Miss., also faces charges of armed robbery and obstruction of justice.
Sheriff Jerry Larpenter says two other suspects are being sought in the fatal robbery.
Larpenter won't release the victim's name until his family is notified.
He says it's unclear whether the shooting-armed robbery took place early Sunday morning or late Saturday night.
The body was found Sunday morning.
Cheramie is being held in the Terrebonne Parish Jail awaiting a bond hearing.
1 killed, 1 injured in N.O. shooting
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans police are investigating a double shooting that left one man dead and another injured.
The shooting happened around 8:40 Monday night.
Officer Garry Flot says detectives determined the shooting took place inside a house.
Flot says a 46-year-old man died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
The other man, who is 23 years old, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg. He was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.
Their names have not been released.
Police are still investigating a motive for the shooting.
Another plea in court bribery scheme
LAFAYETTE — Former Acadiana Outreach Center case manager Sandra Degeyter became the fifth person to plead guilty in federal court for her participation in a bribery scheme involving the District Attorney's Office in Lafayette.
Degeyter pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.
Elaine Crump, also a former Acadiana Outreach Center case manager, pleaded guilty Feb. 5 to one count of misprision of a felony for failing to report a bribery scheme.
Prosecutors say Degeyter accepted up to $5,000 in cash for herself and in-kind donations for the Outreach Center from a private investigator to falsify more than 50 documents certifying that the investigator's clients had completed community service work required by the courts.
Polozola funeral set
BATON ROUGE — A funeral Mass will be held Wednesday for U.S. District Court Judge Frank J. Polozola, who died Sunday night after fighting a long bout with cancer. Polozola was 71.
Polozola worked for the court for four decades, starting as a law clerk. He was nominated to the bench by President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and served as chief judge from 1998 to 2005.
He assumed senior status in 2007, meaning he began handling fewer cases.
Polozola presided over several high-profile cases, most notably former Governor Edwin Edwards' riverboat gambling corruption trial.
Edwards was convicted in May 2000 and sentenced by Polozola in January 2001 to 10 years in federal prison.
The funeral will be held at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Baton Rouge.

BATON ROUGE — A state judge has ruled that evidence recovered from the Baton Rouge home of a man now accused of fatally shooting two employees of the CarQuest Auto Parts store in March 2011 can be used at trial.
The evidence — money, Regions Bank bags and CarQuest deposit slips — was seized from the home of Lee Turner Jr. on March 28, 2011, the day after Edward Gurtner III, of Denham Springs, and Randy Chaney, of Greenwell Springs, were gunned down inside the store that Gurtner managed.
Scott Collier, one of Turner's attorneys, said he will ask the state 1st Circuit of Appeal to review state District Judge Richard Anderson's ruling.
Turner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Brusly man accused of extorting woman
BRUSLY — A former assistant chief of police for the Brusly Police Department was arrested after he allegedly threatened to post obscene photos of a woman on the Internet.
Police Chief Jamie Whaley said 50-year-old Thomas Charleville was arrested at his home Sunday after he allegedly threatened to expose a relationship he was having with a woman.
Whaley said Charleville also allegedly told the victim he would post the photos on a social media website if she didn't come to his job and perform a sexual act.
Charleville was booked on counts of improper telephone communication and extortion.
Major crime down in B.R. in 2012
BATON ROUGE — Murders, rapes and robberies increased in Baton Rouge last year, but the city saw an overall decrease in major crimes when compared with 2011. That's according to figures released Monday by the city's police department.
Property crimes dropped 4.66 percent while violent crimes against persons increased by 1.62 percent. Those categories combined accounted for a 3.65 decrease in major crimes, furthering what police described as a long-term downward trend.
Overall, the police department said serious crimes dropped for nine of the past 12 years — including a 33 percent decrease since 2000, even as the city's population has grown.
Rouge averaged more than seven homicides a month during the first eight months of 2012, but that average fell to three over the last four months.
Abandoned vehicles to be auctioned
NEW ORLEANS — The city of New Orleans will auction off 138 vehicles that were left abandoned on neighborhood streets or left unclaimed by residents who ran up parking fines.
The auction will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Almonaster Auto Pound.
Potential buyers can register and preview the cars at the auto pound on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. No one will be admitted to Wednesday's preview session after 3:30 p.m. A preview of the cars up for auction, and online bidding, also is available at the Brown's Auction Company website.
Since May 2010, the city has held 12 vehicle auctions, and has sold 1,185 abandoned cars. The auction has raised $736,000 for the city's general fund.
Talent judges headed to Big Easy
NEW ORLEANS — Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and former Spice Girls singer Melanie "Mel B." Brown head to New Orleans next week for the taping of auditions for "America's Got Talent."
The three judges of the popular NBC reality TV variety show, which is in its 8th season, will be walking a red carpet at the UNO Lakefront Arena on Monday.
Certain contestants selected from the open-casting round of auditions held in New Orleans earlier this month will be invited to perform in front of the celebrity judges. The process will repeat in select cities across the country, with the top 48 acts moving on to compete during this summer's live televised shows.
The top prize is $1 million and a headlining show in Las Vegas.
"America's Got Talent" is hosted by actor and comedian Nick Cannon.
The search is open to acts of all talents and ages. Previous auditions have included singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists.
Last season's winner was Richard and Nick Olate, of Olate Dogs, a fast-paced act filled with impressive dog tricks.

Book plays big in close loss
It's rare to get to see two teams fight it out for all four quarters but if you were a fan attending Monday night's game at Jefferson County you were lucky enough to witness a nail-biter.
Jefferson County (3-8, 2-3) hosted Sevier County (3-13, 1-4) in an exciting game that came down literally to the final second of the game.
The game was scoreless until there was a minute and a half left in the first quarter when both teams put four points on the board. Neither the Smoky Bears nor the Patriots could get a shot to fall. Jefferson County had several turnovers but the Smoky Bears could not convert on the other end.
Some basketball was actually played in the second period. It almost seemed as though two different teams had come back on to the court. The Patriots added 12 points to their total to take a lead going into halftime to give them a one point advantage over Sevier County who put up an 11 point showing in the quarter.
The Patriots scored on three's and free throws in the third quarter. Shane Acuff of Jefferson County hit on four of four freebies to give the Patriots a five-point cushion going into the fourth.
Sevier County showed as always that they would not lie down and let another team roll over them. The Smoky Bears got another huge performance from Brett Book who hit four of his five 3-pointers in the fourth. Book took over as leader on the court and brought Sevier County back within one point after trading three's back and forth with Jefferson County's Jason Deering. Deering put 11 points on the board for the Patriots connecting on two 3-point shots to let the Smoky Bears know that they were still there.
Making up for a five-point difference at the beginning of the period, Sevier County scored 20 points in the fourth quarter and tied the game up at 42 with only a few seconds left in the game. After the Smoky Bears scored what looked to be the final basket in regulation, the Patriots hurried the ball down court and drew a foul as Steven Solomon went up for a lay-up with 1.8 seconds left. Solomon would hit his first three throw to put Jefferson County ahead by one point. On his next free one, he spiked the ball off of the backboard. The Smoky Bears would get the rebound but a 90-foot shot was only what it seemed. A prayer.
Jefferson County got away with a close win in an exciting game by the score of 43-42.
Jason Deering led the Patriots in scoring with 15 points in the game with 11 of those points coming in the dramatic fourth quarter.
Brett Book of Sevier County put up another courageous effort that should not go unheard. Book scored 19 points in the losing effort with 12 of his points coming from four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter as well.
Sevier County was swept on Monday night as the girls (7-10, 3-4) fell to the #9 Jefferson County Lady Patriots (16-2, 4-1) 61-46.
Both the girls and boys of Sevier County have a tough task ahead of them as they travel to Heritage next week to take on the Mountaineers. The Lady Mountaineers (18-2, 7-0) are ranked #3 and beat the Lady Smoky Bears last time 70-44.
The Smoky Bears also lost in their last meeting with Heritage's boys 65-52.

Financial Information
For the 2009-2010 academic year, fees have been assessed at $10,767.50 for three quarters. Non-resident tuition for out-of-state residents and international students is $14,694 for three quarters (Registration fees and Non-resident tuition are subject to change). State residency can be established after living in California for one continuous year. Once residency is established, a student is exempt from non-resident tuition and pays only fees (does not apply to international students).
Financial Assistance
The Department offers a number of fellowships to incoming students. Fellowship packages normally grant four or five years of funding (with various combinations of fellowships and teaching assistantships). To maintain their support packages from year to year, students must show satisfactory progress in the graduate program.
We highly recommend that all applicants apply for other forms of financial assistance:
Those who begin the program without fellowship packages are eligible to apply for research assistantships through an individual faculty member. Graduate students may also serve as paid Readers for undergraduate lecture courses. Readers are responsible for grading a portion of student papers and exams.
Teaching assistantships are not available to first-year graduate students. Students can apply during Winter quarter of their first year for teaching assistantships effective the following year.
In addition to these departmental awards, we strongly encourage students to apply for external awards such as Fulbright, Ford, etc. More information on external fellowships can be found on the Graduate Division website: http://www.gdnet.ucla.edu/asis/stusup/index.html.
Student loan information can be obtained from the UCLA Financial Aid Office: http://www.fao.ucla.edu/.

(WICHITA, Kan.)—
Monday, Wichita School Board members began the discussion of how to move forward with more than a dozen bond projects.The projects, part of the 2008 bond issue, were put on "pause and study" when the recession hit.
Southeast High School is one of the bond projects on hold, but now there's question whether to keep it open, or close it and build a new high school in the southeast quadrant.
The new high school was part of the bond issue, but also put on hold.
The money is there from the 2008 bond issue. The problem is the district doesn't have the money it takes to operate a new school.
"The bond dollars are there for projects…it's the ability to operate those facilities as we move forward," says Wichita Superintendent John Allison.
The school board didn't discuss Southeast High School at Monday's meeting.
"We'll have to wait to see what staff brings to us and we'll have to discuss it as a board. We don't know what's going to happen. We'll have to see," says board member Jeff Davis.
Allison says there is no timeline and the process will be methodical. The board will talk about the bond projects at its next meeting in two weeks.

This incredibly soft Dutch Rabbit feels like a real bunny. With cream and coffee colored markings and detailed design of the ears and haunches, she looks like she could hop off at any moment. She has to be held (and hugged!) to be believed. The Dutch Rabbit is one of the oldest of domestic breeds. It was developed in Holland around 1850 from the wild European rabbit.Created by Folkmanis, a company that has been making innovative and life-like puppets since 1976, this puppet is wonderful for imaginative play and storytelling.

Beautiful Rabbit
By AmyD
from Clarksville, TN
Best Uses
This is a gift for my 5 year old son for Easter. As a child my mom always put a stuffed or toy rabbit in our easter baskets. It was tradition, so I am carrying on that tradition. He loves Stuffies so I thought this would be something a little different and interactive. The rabbit is so lifelike when you have it on your hand. It looks like the bunnies we had on the farm as a kid.
