YORK, PA – Franklin & Marshall's Selena Boro made her first goal of the year a game-winner as her Diplomats earned a 3-2 non-conference victory over the York College Spartans in a non-conference contest at a chilly Graham Field in York on Sunday. The Spartans fall to 4-7 overall while the Diplomats improve to 5-2-1 for the campaign.
Boro's game-winner capped a crazy final 20 minutes of regulation as the Spartans battled back from a 2-0 deficit only to have the Dips score with less than three minutes left in regulation to steal the win.
The opening 15 minutes of the contest saw the play contained mainly in the middle of the field as neither team could maintain any sustained possession. The Diplomats earned a corner kick in the 19th minute and they took advantage of the opportunity. Sarah McGahran lofted the kick into the box where Nancy Epstein volleyed home the service for the goal and the 1-0 Diplomat lead.
The guests held a slight 4-3 edge in first half shots while both teams notched two corner kicks.
The eventful second half started with Epstein banging home her second goal of the game just 6:47 into the second 45 minutes of play. Epstein received the ball just beyond midfield, dribbled past the Spartan defense and buried a shot inside the upper right 90 for the 2-0 Franklin & Marshall lead.
Epstein almost had a natural hat trick as she had a breakaway in the 59th minute but Spartan netminder Sarah Spanarkel came out and challenged Epstein forcing the Diplomat forward to shoot earlier than she would have liked. Spanarkel made the stop on the ensuing shot, keeping York within two goals.
The Diplomats had yet another breakaway opportunity but Spanarkel again stood tall as she stopped a Carley Nicholson shot in the 71st minute. About a minute later, the Spartans got on the board as York had a corner kick that got cleared out past the box. Sophomore Dale Mason collected the ball and chipped it back into the box where Caitlin Aversa finished off the chance inside the right post for her first goal of the year.
York looked like it would gain a tie just two minutes later as senior Stephanie Rice hit an absolute bullet from 25 yards out. The ball hit the cross bar square and bounded down inside the box but there were no Spartans close enough to the ball to be able to finish the chance.
York finally notched the equalizer in the 82nd minute as sophomore Jordan Snook scored her team-high fourth goal of the year. Rice played a loose ball into the box that Snook redirected the ball into the goal. The goal capped a furious ten minutes of play that saw the Spartans apply a tremendous amount of pressure on the Diplomat defense.
Boro's game-winner was set up when Spencer Plante received a long pass from the left flank and settled the ball before dribbling down the side of the field. She gave perfect service to Boro who finished the chance in the right side of the net with 2:37 left in regulation.
York made a frantic run in the final two minutes highlighted by a Lauren Ward chance but the Spartans would come up empty as they suffered their seventh straight non-conference loss of the year.
York finished the game holding an 11-9 edge in total shots while the Diplomats were more accurate with their shots as they had an 8-3 margin in shots on goal. The Spartans did record eight corner kicks for the match to just two for the Diplomats.
Amanda McGowan recorded a save in 90 minutes for F&M while Spanarkel notched five stops for the game.
York is now off until October 8 when they travel to Salisbury University to face the Sea Gulls in a big Capital Athletic Conference contest. Game time in Salisbury is set for 1:00 pm.

RIM says BlackBerry service has been restored, which is some comfort for the users around the world who have suffered withdrawal over the last several days. The largest telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates did say it would compensate users en masse for service interruptions, but BlackBerry users in the U.S. may not get the same treatment.
In a press conference this morning, RIM co-Chief Executive Officer Mike Lazaridis said the company has only just begun to consider compensating put-out users. "Our priority right up until this moment was making sure our system was up and running," he said.
When service outages occur, it's typically up to the phone companies to decide whether to compensate users who've been affected, says Todd Day, a mobile and wireless communications analyst at Frost & Sullivan. Typically, that would take the form of a credit to a phone bill, extra minutes or additional data use.
Telecoms outside of the UAE haven't said whether they'll offer refunds or credits, and in the U.S., there are a few reasons they might not: The service disruptions seem to be affecting BlackBerry Messenger and Internet browsing, which are processed by Research in Motion's own network – not by the carriers, which provide service for phone calls. (RIM did not respond to requests for comment.) Separately, consumer contracts with carriers don't include a guarantee of service. In other words, the phone companies don't promise that customers' phones will work all the time.
But the last thing carriers want is a slew of unsatisfied customers. After all, when a phone stops working, users don't call the phone's manufacturer, they call the phone company. And while complaining won't restore service, it could prove fruitful. Phone companies' customer service reps can award credits and other restitution on a case-by-case basis, says Charles Golvin, an analyst covering wireless communications for Forrester Research.
Some customers may even find hidden opportunity, Golvin says. If your contract is set to expire in the coming months, now may be a good time to ask for an early upgrade. That's well within their power, he says. "The best advice here is, you never get what you don't ask for," he says.

Outpunk was a fanzine by Matt Wobensmith run out of San Francisco.
Outpunk ran for seven issues from 1992 till 1997 with contributions from queer punks such as Anonymous Boy and Donna Dresch of Chainsaw, interviews with queercore bands such as Tribe 8, and a split issue with Fembot, a zine by Gary Fembot of the band Sta-Prest. The last issue was a compendium consisting of a collection of reprints of articles from zines that Matt felt were notable, such as Bamboo Girl, Bikini Kill, Double Bill, Fat Girl, Fembot, Girl Germs, Jane Gets A Divorce, PC Casualties, Rude Girl, Queer, Shrimp and many others. Outpunk was also a record label, the first devoted to queercore bands, releasing the first recordings by bands such as Tribe 8, Mukilteo Fairies, Pansy Division, Sta-Prest, Behead The Prophet No Lord Shall Live and others.
In D.I.Y.: The Rise Of Lo-Fi, Amy Spencer writes "Matt Wobensmith...feels that a person's self-identification shouldn't form the basis of their whole personality. "Gay people often sacrifice the culture they come from just to belong to something," says Matt. Spencer continues, "This sacrifice of a radical culture whether as an artist, punk or anarchist, is what the queercore movement has always battled against."

Oprah Winfrey Compares Justin Bieber Interview to Her Famous Chat With Michael Jackson
In a preview for this Sunday's (Nov. 25) 'Oprah's Next Chapter' interview with Justin Bieber, Oprah Winfrey says not since her 1993 interview with the late, great Michael Jackson has she done an interview like this. Wow. That's a big statement and some big company for the Biebs to be in. She compared him to Elvis Presley and the Beatles, in that he has millions of screaming fans all over the globe, but said that he is different. And why is that?
Because he has the social media sphere at his disposable.
"There's never been a star like you," Winfrey declared, to which Bieber asks what she meant. She pointed out that he is in the company of tremendous legends who have changed the face of music for culture, but they did not have a rise to stardom like he did, via social media. There has never been a social media star until Justin Bieber.
She indicates that her interview is about how he manages his fame, and how he handles being in the public eye and a celeb since he was 12-years-old. She poses an important question: How do you figure out who you are in the midst of all of that?
Guess we'll find out on Sunday (Nov. 25), when the special airs.

Oneida Public Library passes budget
ONEIDA >> The library budget passed.
Residents in the Oneida Public Library Special District voted Tuesday, and approved a $376,000 operating budget for the library with 443 yes votes and 233 in opposition.
The voting opened at noon and by 2 p.m. a healthy stream of voters coming to the polls was reported. Library staff estimated that by 8 p.m., about 600 voters had come through the doors.
"Everything is going great so far," said Carolyn Gerakopoulos, OPL director, early Tuesday afternoon.
The polls closed at 9 p.m., Four election workers opened the two wooden ballot boxes and began hand-counting the paper ballots.
After about 90 minutes of vote tallying, the results were in.
The adopted budget includes an overall increase in the library's operating budget of 2.36 percent for a total of $376,000. Of this, the proposed library tax levy is $327,000 -- an increase of 2.56 percent.
The tax on a $100,000 home in the City of Oneida would be about $44.55, an increase of about $1.05 over this year's library tax. Revenue in the OPL Operating Budget for 2013-14 includes: a library district tax levy of $326,872; $14,000 in public funding and $21,000 in private funding; $13,000 in library revenue and additional unspecified funding of $1,000. Total revenue expected will be $375,872.
The budget expenses are: $238,114 for personnel; $23,950 for building maintenance; office expenses of $12,620; insurance costs of $7,300; utility payments of $15,500; the library will spend $69,600 on acquisitions of materials; advertising costs of $300; $7,500 in professional services; and $988 is budgeted for miscellaneous expenses. Total expenditures in the budget are $375,872.
Previously, OPL board members have emphasized that the budget has nothing to do with the ongoing capital campaign aimed at raising $5 million for the new library building on Main Street.
On Tuesday, handwritten signs were present at the library reminding voters of such.
Current trustees Patricia Albaugh and Robert Wilkins won re-election with 548 votes and 531 votes respectively. Newcomer Lillian White took the seat being vacated by George Miller. She received 535 votes.
Those elected March 5 to be OPL trustees will serve five-year terms, starting July 1.
The OPL board will consist of Albaugh, White and Wilkins in addition to Jim Bacher, Charles Chambers, Eileen Kinsella, Diane Roy.
Positions on the board are voluntary and unpaid.
When crafting the proposed budget this year, Gerokopoulos said that staying within the tax cap was the main priority. She added that the library faces concerns this year in regarding the uncertainty of future Madison County funding and Gov. Cuomo's proposal to increase the minimum hourly wage from $7.25 to $8.75 in July 2013.
Many library staff members receive minimum wage. Currently, there are three full-time and ten part time staff positions at the library.
The Special District was created by a referendum vote in 1997. That was the first year the new library board of trustees created a budget for the public to vote on. The creation of the district also allowed the library to secure funding through a tax levy every year. Prior to that, the library relied on sporadic funding from the city of Oneida common council and donations derived from direct-mail fund drives, Gerokopoulos said. The library now serves a population of 15,202.
In 1997, 804 Special District residents voted in favor of the $224,200 budget and 374 people voted against it.
In the past 16 years, the OPL budget was voted down once. That was the $386,252 budget in 2011.

Rick Ellis has made seven of Washburn's eight trips to Nicaragua. But this year will stand out in his mind even if he makes dozens of trips in the future.
A professor and director of Washburn's Learning in the Community, Rick originally was interested in Nicaragua because of personal experience as a student activist in the 1960s and 70s. He was connected to ProNica to develop the Washburn delegation partnership through one of his sons, who volunteered with ProNica while attending college in Florida.
He often told the group before we left Topeka that we would "leave as Kansans and return as Nicaraguans." He was open about the challenges that would make us question what we thought we knew, things that would make us appreciate what we have and why we have them. And he told us about the friendships he'd made on his repeated visits. About how those friends showed some of the most genuine care and compassion he received during his treatment and recovery from colon cancer, for example. And how he was certain he would be welcomed with open arms, as we would be.
We saw those friendships in action when Rick and Philip Montalban met at Quaker House, when Carlos from Los Quinchos told us Rick was "more Nica than North American now," and when "Dona Mina at the Gallery of Heroes and Martyrs welcomed her friend with the hug of a family member.
And we saw the pain Rick felt when we arrived in El Limon to learn that the village leader, Don Philipe, is dying. Rick always stays at Don Philipe's house. It's a sign of respect for the professor to be invited to stay in the home of the village patriarch. But this year the 95-year-old man was bed ridden and receiving oxygen.
Rick said his farewell to Don Philipe in Spanish and walked away from the house knowing it would be the last time he would see his friend. It was a tough thing to stay in the house (Wyatt and Nathan stayed there, too) knowing Don Philipe was so ill. But seeing him one last time allowed Rick to pay his respects in person, an opportunity he treasured.
We all learned so much from Rick because he wasn't afraid to share what he really felt. When he talked about the history of Nicaragua and U.S. involvement in the insurrection and then the Contra Wars, you could hear his frustration. When he talked about how caring and loving the Nicaraguan people are, you could hear his admiration. And when he challenged us to dig deep into ourselves and really understand what we were experiencing each day, you could hear his hope for each of us and for the future. Everything we did every day mattered to him and so did we.
"I always have an alterer motive for taking this trip," he told us during our final reflection. "How can you look at the world and make a difference? The only way to do that is through action. If all you do is tell a friend: 'You can't believe what I learned in Nicaragua' (and tell them just one thing) … I've done my job. I'm going to do it one person at a time if I have to."
We will gather as a group a few more times on Washburn's campus, to continue processing what we've learned and experienced. And most of the students will prepare presentations of some type to meet their Washburn Transformational Experience requirement. (More about that in the coming weeks.) And Rick will keep tabs on each of the students, what they do with their remaining time on campus and what they do with their lives.
He shared many stories of students from earlier delegations who are now married to a trip mate, working for nonprofits and government groups, working for justice and for change, with Nica in their hearts.

The Wealth Management and Trust Division of the Texas Bankers Association (the TBA) has tried to repeal or extend the rule against perpetuities as it applies to trusts in past sessions, and it appears that it is going to try again. HB 372 and SB 261 would amend Section 112.036 of the Texas Trust Code to permit trusts to last for 200 years.
The companion bills were filed by Rep. Will Hartnett (R-Dallas) and Sen. John Carona (R-Dallas).
Like most states, Texas follows the traditional rule against perpetuities. The rule is codified in Section 112.036 of the Texas Trust Code:
The rule against perpetuities applies to trusts other than charitable trusts. Accordingly, an interest is not good unless it must vest, if at all, not later than 21 years after some life in being at the time of the creation of the interest, plus a period of gestation. Any interest in a trust may, however, be reformed or construed to the extent and as provided by [Property Code] Section 5.043.
In the past 15 years, several states have either abolished the rule against perpetuities or greatly extended the permissible duration of trusts. Ironically, it was the enactment of the generation-skipping transfer tax (GST) -- which was intended to curb the use of multi-generational trusts to avoid estate taxation -- that appears to have spawned the interest in abolishing the rule. Lifetime transfers of a certain amount of property are exempt from the GST (currently $5,000,000), and many Americans have created multi-generational trusts to take advantage of this exemption. Apparently, many of those Americans see no reason why those trusts cannot last forever (or a really long time), and they have urged state legislators to abolish the rule.
According to a chart prepared by Elizabeth Schurig and Amy Jetel of the Austin firm of Schurig Jetel Beckett Tacket in 2007, at least 18 states have abolished the rule against perpetuities or extended it by many years, including Alaska (1,000 years), Arizona, Colorado (1,000 years), Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee (260 years), Utah (1,000 years), Washington (150 years), Wisconsin and Wyoming.
A paper by Robert Sitkoff of Harvard Law School and Max Scanzenbach in 2008 lists 23 states as having "abolished" the RAP. The Sitkoff/Scanzenbach paper used different criteria in adding Florida (360 years), Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia to the list and leaving Tennessee and Washington off the list. The Sitkoff/Scanzenbach paper also gives some idea of the pace of adoption of anti-RAP legislation:
The paper was written in 2008, so it does not report legislative activity since 2007.
TBA believes Texas banks and trust companies are put at a competitive disadvantage because Texas still follows the rule. Smaller banks and trust companies -- that have no out-of-state branches or affiliates -- are particularly hamstrung. Wealthy Texans can create perpetual trusts now, but they must use an out-of-state bank or a big, national bank with offices in non-RAP states.
Also, TBA believes the passage of the bill would simplify the rule by putting all trusts on equal footing with a simple term of years. Further, the bill would end "RAP games," where some attorneys incorporate the Kennedy or Royal families as the measuring lives.
The TBA has tried at least twice before to abolish the rule against perpetuities or extend the permissible duration of trusts. In each case the legislation failed to pass.
Stephen Saunders, an Austin attorney, has opposed RAP repeal/modification legislation in the past and is opposed to HB 372 and SB 261. Mr. Saunders thinks that the RAP is good public policy -- and has been for 400 years. He thinks modifying or repealing the RAP would have far-reaching consequences, including a reduction in charitable giving and increased litigation. Also, he says, it would be bad social policy and tax policy. Here is his 2003 paper giving reasons to leave the RAP alone.
The task of abolishing the RAP is more daunting in Texas because of the state constitution. The Bill of Rights (Article 1, Section 26) provides: "Perpetuities and monopolies are contrary to the genius of a free government, and shall never be allowed...." It seems clear that the outright abolition of the rule against perpetuities would require a constitutional amendment. Does substantially lengthening the permissible duration of trusts (in the typical case, 200 years is more than twice as long as the current limit) raise constitutional concerns?

Advanced Compatibility EngineeringT (ACET) Body Structure
The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control
VSA[1] can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power in the event of oversteer or understeer to help regain the driver's intended path. The system also features a traction control function to help prevent wheelspin during acceleration.
[1] VSA is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle's course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup. This helps the driver retain steering control when braking hard. The Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD) balances the braking forces at each wheel according to how the car is dynamically loaded.
Battery Placement
The solid-cell design and central placement help protect the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Active Front Head Restraints
In a moderate to severe rear-end impact, the active front head restraints move forward and up, helping reduce the likelihood of neck injury.
Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in the rear seat.
Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags (SRS)
Every Insight is equipped with dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags (SRS). One or both of these airbags will be deployed only in the event of a sufficient frontal impact. If deployed, these airbags are capable of being inflated at different rates depending on crash severity, seatbelt usage and/or other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to supplement the seatbelts to help reduce the likelihood of head and upper body injuries in frontal crashes.
Airbags inflated for display purposes.
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag inflates to help protect the driver's or front passenger's upper body. The Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) utilizes sensors in the front passenger's seatback to detect the height and seating position of the occupant. If a child or small-statured adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag, sensors deactivate it.
Outboard Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
All five seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts. The rear seat features the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) mounting system for use with compatible child seats.
Security System with Remote Entry
Insight LX and EX models are equipped with a security system with remote entry for added security and convenience.
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbag module is positioned along the side of the headliner. In the event of a sufficient side impact, this system will activate to help provide protection for front and outboard rear occupants.

It looks like Google won't be entirely shaking up any wireless industries at the present time, but it will be pushing forward with its own "flagship" device by selling it directly to consumers.
While our connect's internal T-Mobile photo is rather small, we've broken down the text for you:
Google, with support from T-Mobile, is scheduled to launch a new Android device in early January. The Google Android phone will be sold directly by Google via the Web.
Support for the device including troubleshooting and exchanges will be managed by Google and HTC. T-Mobile will offer service support including billing, coverage, features, and rate plans. Additional details Streamline content regarding the launch of Google's Android phone will be coming in early January.
So… Google is simply selling the phone directly for now, as rumoured, and T-Mobile will "officially" support it, even though they practically do the same for any unlocked handset on their network. Google and HTC will be fielding support calls from users, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. Unless this is only the Android Development 3 phone. But it's not just that. And T-Mobile could possibly subsidise it in or around March. OK, bye.

On Tuesday 1st February 2011, the Registration of Town and Village Greens Panel of Stoke-on-Trent City Council met, for the first time since July 2007, to consider two village green applications, one at Hulme Road, Park Hall and the other at Anchor Road, Adderley Green.
An application for village green status had been submitted in both cases following council plans to site the Discovery Academy there. Not only did the communities not want a school sited in these locations, they also realized that open green space they had perhaps taken for granted for ongoing community use could be built upon and they wanted to protect it. Margaret Lowe for the Community Schools Action Group applied for Village Green Status for the Park Hall land and Ian Jenkin for the Adderley Green Residents Association applied for Village Green status for the Adderley Green land.
Both applicants attended to observe proceedings at the meeting, although they could not attend the first hour during which panel members were being briefed. Paul Hackney, the legal officer, recommended public enquiries on the basis that the council was the land owner and the decision maker and there were other legal complexities. All panel members supported the recommendation and confirmed with Margaret Lowe and Ian Jenkin that they did too. Ian asked about the financial implications, since an application for Penkhull had been withdrawn for fear of cost liability. However the committee stated that costs would be borne by the council and would be £10,000 for both applications, not each as reported in the Sentinel.
Margaret told the Sentinel afterwards that if a member of the public had objected to village green status the objection would have been thrown out and a decision made there and then, saving costs. But as the council had objected this was their way of being 'open and transparent', but also trying to get the public on their side by stating the use of public money.
Ian told the Sentinel that as the council are owners of the land, objectors to the application and have to make a decision on it, there was only really one decision they could have made. However he was pleased about this.
Paul Hackney and the panel chair Joy Garner will appoint an independent inspector. We could hear more about this in May. Following the public enquiry the inspector will make a recommendation to the council that they may be expected to adopt, although they do not have to. If village green status is obtained there would be total removal of any possible development, securing the open space for the community.

My fellow AT'ers there is a game that I feel strongly deserves our attention, and that game is guild wars 2. Prepare to get hyped.
So what the hell is Guild Wars 2 you ask? Well it's the sequel to the highly successful MMORPG title Guild Wars. "Cool I like MMO's AC9Breaker, but why should I play this one when I'm already playing WoW?"
"I hate MMO's AC9Breaker? Why the hell should I give this game the time of day?"
Two perfectly fine questions and I shall explain. First off
So what the hell is Guild Wars 2 you ask? Well it's the sequel to the highly successful MMORPG title Guild Wars. "Cool I like MMO's AC9Breaker, but why should I play this one when I'm already playing WoW?"
"I hate MMO's AC9Breaker? Why the hell should I give this game the time of day?"
Two perfectly fine questions and I shall explain. First off
No Commitment, No subscription fees.
One of the unique things about the original Guild Wars was that it was one of the first MMORPG titles at the time to not have a subscription fee which most MMO's use to require. In keeping with this they are applying their success with this business trend to this installment. No cumbersome unituitive sign up page to enter a credit card and register for, no extra charges after you've already bought the game, and before you think this effects the quality of service no, the game still has a strong GM and carefully monitors the servers for any problems and promptly address any issues that may arrise as well as also providing updates and events.
Candy for the eyes
Not only do we want to play a good game, but we also want to play a good looking game. Guild Wars 2 has that in spades. The game has taken a drastically beautiful approach from their original work that carries over strongly to their in game models. Towns and worlds are alive and breathing and look hand crafted and environments are alive and dynamic as the landscape changes based on actions of players and events happening in the world. Explore beautiful areas captivating areas and eviroments you could not have imagined such as underwater areas! Yes underwater areas. The developers are hoping to make underwater exploration easy and exciting for players and eliminate some of the traditional limitations (i.e., drowning) to aquatic travel found in many games. The underwater zones open up exciting new possibilities and greatly expand the explorable areas in Guild Wars 2.
But now for the meet and potatoes and why you really should give a damn about Guild Wars 2.
Dynamic experience
I think one aspect that most of us appreciated out of FF11 was the story and it's world. However it wasn't very personable when everyone else is treated as "the hero" and are the only able to take down the "shadowlord". In GW 2 however the story of the game is the story of you and your characters actions in the world. You fill out a biography at character creation time that defines your background and your place within the world, and that starts you on your path. Then the choices you make will take the story in different directions. Each time you play through the game, you can experience a different storyline. GW2 tells story by allowing the player to befriend and adventure with key characters, by presenting him with moral dilemmas that will impact the lives of the people around him, and by having him live through world-changing events and all the key moments of the storyline. But more interestingly, that some choices may not only just effect you, but also effect the online community and other players as it should. You literally shape the world and the events around you.
Combat tiem!
In keeping with the dynamic theme of the overall game, combat is has been structured so that it is always engaging and full of limitless choices and possibilities. This is done by allowing each of the 5 races to approach the 8 planned professions in a different manner, Some races have their own innate abilities and specials. (think beasts and Casts from PSU with their SUV's and Nanoblasts) Then you also throw in the cross class cooperative attacks. (think Chrono Trigger and their team attacks) One elementalists casts a a fire wall spell while a Ranger class uses his volley ability effectively doubling his power by shooting through the fire and giving his arrows fire properties and causing each shot to explode on impact. Then there are environmental weapons such a rock found in the field could very easily be turned into a meteor shower by an elementalist or your in a bar and a fight breaks out, yeah, pick up that bar stool and crack it over your enemies head. Effectively making a great club. Each profession is being made so that they are all unique and balanced and don't fret about need worrying about having to party with other classes as you will totally be able to effectively solo a major portion of the game if you deem it so but as well keep in mind that some challenges will be designed to be taken on with groups. There in also lies another beauty of the game. GW2 has great support for parties, but they just don't feel as necessary as they do in other MMOs, because your interests are always aligned with all other nearby players anyway. When someone kills a monster, not just that player's party but everyone who was seriously involved in the fight gets 100% of the XP and loot for the kill. When an event is happening in the world – when the bandits are terrorizing a village – everyone in the area has the same motivation, and when the event ends, everyone gets rewarded.
The Races:
Humans - Of course
Asura - Tarus?
Charr - wolf/lion doods
Norn - lawl Beast Rangers
Sylvarri - Elfs, of course
So Far only 4 classes have been announced Necromancer, Elementalist, Ranger and Warrior. Expect more in the coming weeks!
Here's the link with all the info. http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/
So if you love MMORPGs, you should check out Guild Wars 2. But if you hate traditional MMORPGs, then you should really check out Guild Wars 2. Because, like Guild Wars before it, GW2 doesn't fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs. It doesn't suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill; it doesn't make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun; and of course, it doesn't have a monthly fee.

A survey of iPhone shoppers from December last year through February, reveals that 13% had bought their iPhones from Best Buy, while 15% had purchased theirs directly from Apple. Of course, carriers brought in the lion's share of sales; AT&T sold to 32% of those surveyed, Verizon claimed 30%, and Sprint a less-than-impressive 7%. The survey, conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, also showed that online stores only accounted for 24% of sales, with regular brick-and-mortar establishments taking up the remaining 76%.
It's not entirely surprising to see Best Buy doing well selling iPhones, since there are a ton of locations, but you would think Apple retail stores would have a bigger proportion of sales then they do; of all of the places to buy an iPhone, an Apple store is without a doubt the nicest (if not always the most convenient to get to). That said, I would be curious to see how many new iPads Best Buy sold in relation to Apple stores.
Where did you guys get your iPhones? Would you have rather bought it somewhere else?

1998 Chevy S-10 4BTA Cummins DieselPosted in Project Vehicles on March 1, 2012
What you're looking at is one of the most unique Chevy S-10s you'll probably ever see. This truck has been repowered with a Cummins 4BTA turbodiesel engine and it sports a stout drivetrain including a solid front axle. Best of all, it was built to use.
The owner/mad scientist behind the truck is Allan Hummel of Waterford, Michigan. He's a field electrical controls engineer with an obvious knack for creating cool stuff. "This truck was built to handle anything I threw at it, anywhere it happened to be. It was not built for show, not just for rocks or mud, and this truck will not be seen on a trailer. I looked at what worked in vehicles from all over the world from small SUVs to large trucks and took from them the ideas I liked personally. For better or worse I did it all myself at home in my garage with simple tools and a big imagination. I needed a truck that was simple to work on if/when it broke and no help was available, which might be 50-75 miles, not some 2-mile-long trail or 5 miles from a town. This truck is so simple. It can start and run with no battery or alternator, the hydro lines can be bypassed in less than an hour if a fitting breaks, brakes can be turned off if a line breaks, and if a shackle breaks the spring can ride on the frame. I used as many stock parts as possible so problems could be solved by limping into town and ordering the parts. I did my best to keep it street legal in 49 states and Canada even if it looks a little stupid or compromised some off-road ability," Hummel says.
We met Hummel in Johnson Valley, California, while he was "testing" the truck. He left his home state of Michigan with only 417 miles on the conversion. He ended up driving over 6,000 miles on his "test," and the vast majority of that was on the trail in places like California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado. Along the way the throttle cable broke (he drove using the hand throttle), a power steering line came apart, and a front stock axleshaft broke. "None of this stopped me for more than an hour," Hummel says.
A conversion of this caliber required some help from friends. "Thank you to all my friends around the country. And a special thanks to those neighbors who always lent a hand when I needed it, to those who told me to keep on the path when I was straying or lost focus, to those who troubleshot over the phone, and to those who lent tools or took a part to work to get it working for me. Most of all, those caring individuals who checked to see if I was crushed under the truck when I had not been seen for a few days. Without your help I would have never been able to get this far," Hummel says.
The Details
Owner/Hometown: Allan Hummel, Waterford, Michigan
Vehicle/Model: 1998 Chevy S-10 extended cab pickup
Estimated value: "Make offer. If on the side of trail broken, discount will be given."

Scallions (aka green onions) are nearly ubiquitous in Asian cooking especially in Thai and Laotian cuisine. Did you know that you can keep the white root ends from store bought scallions in a glass of water and they will regrow for repeat usage? Not only will this save you time and money, it will most likely make you cook more often!
The editors of AsianSupper share how to regrow green onions in water.
1. Make sure you leave about 2-3 inches of the green onion stalk left with the root attached.
2. Submerge the green onion roots in a glass of water and place them near a sunny window.
3. The green onions will begin to regrow almost immediately. After one day, you can see them start to sprout up from the top.
4. By day four, you can see the roots getting longer and the scallion stalks growing to over 6 inches. At this point, the scallions can be harvested. The editors at AsianSupper like to use kitchen scissors to snip what we need for making stir fry or soups.
5. Every four days, you will want to change the water and perhaps the glass to prevent the water from getting too icky.
You cannot grow scallions in water indefinitely because the green onions are growing from the stored "food" in the bulbs/roots. However you can likely do this a few times. As you regrow the scallions, the green onion stalks will get lighter and milder. The editors of AsianSupper are testing how long we can regrow them before we need to buy new scallions for cooking. We are currently on week three of the "regrow scallions in water" experiment. Stay tuned for updates!

Public hearings held at August city meeting
Two public hearings were held during Tuesday's City Commission meeting, one of which was a hearing on substandard structures located within the city. Making the presentation were Kirk Harris, city services director, and Danny Alderson with the Code Enforcement Department.Chapter 7, Article 6 of the city's Code of Ordinances outlines the criteria that must be met for continued use and occupancy, such as technical, weather, fire, structural, health and safety measures. The houses were described, in part, as a danger to people should they step on or near the property, a harbor for vermin and an urban nuisance.Each house was shown to the commissioners, given an overview, and then a timeframe was given for the owners to either demolish the house and clean the area. Once the deadline passes and no action is taken, the city would take the responsibility of demolition and clearing the land.Houses that were given 30 days to complete the task were the accessory structure on 211 Bell and 811 Alamo. The latter residence was originally given a 90 day period, but since the owner informed the city that they would take no action on the house, the timeline was shortened.The structures that were given 60 days for demolition and clean up were 305 Hailey, 1003 Robert Lee, 1206 Lubbock and 1412 Mulberry. Houses that were given a 90-day deadline were 207 Mitchell and 504 Hill.Regarding the house on Hill Street, the owners intended to demolish it and on July 11 were given 90 days to do so. However, a citizen spoke on behalf of the house, in which he stated that work on the area was taking place and would be completed within the 90-day time frame.The final house, located on 517 Neff, was given a 120-day period. The owners had previously contacted the code office as the house was part of an ongoing settlement, but on July 19, no changes were made.With the public hearing closed, a motion was made to follow city staff's recommendations, which was approved.The other public hearing held was in regard to a request made by the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission to re-zone a tract of land from a "R" residential district to an "H" business district. The 5.524 acres of land are located at the southwest corner of the intersection of West Bradford Lane and Lamar Street. Harris briefly informed the commission that the land was actually classified as part "R" and part "H", but the P&Z requested that it fully be changed to an "H" business district.No opposition was heard by the city, and no public input was given. Thus, the hearing was closed, and approval was given toward the request.

For the last time, Paula Townsend, steely, pale, 101, stared up at the circular stained-glass window. "Suffer Little Children To Come Unto Me," it read.
"Was this the dining room?" she asked. The memories inched back. "We were always hungry, we didn't care what they gave us . . . I don't remember what dessert was. Maybe an apple?"
Townsend was still crawling when her father ran away to Hollywood and her mother surrendered her 12 suffering children unto the Home For Little Wanderers. This red-brick Jamaica Plain building, opened in 1915, was the first home she knew. And these many years later, Townsend remembers it with great fondness.
For generations of Boston children, the Home's Knight Children's Center on South Huntington Avenue was the stuff of idle threats: Behave yourself or I'll leave you there, harried parents would scold. For thousands of others, it became a refuge amid turmoil — or at least a reliable certainty. Over the decades, it has hosted children whose parents passed away, or passed the point of caring. It has taken in children whose families could no longer feed them, or were so overwhelmed by their behavioral problems that they could no longer live with them.
On Thursday, the Knight Center sends the last of its charges to a sparkling new facility in Walpole. The Jamaica Plain building will be sold, and probably razed. Townsend agreed to take one last look around the place. Surveying its empty rooms and crumbling ceilings, she recalled a way of life — and of caring for unlucky children — that was gone long before this sprawling building's demise.
Townsend, who lived at the Knight Center until she was 6, was there longer than any of her siblings save Arnold, the eldest, who "wouldn't let anybody adopt him." Dorothy, Helen, and Phillip were put on an orphan train and ended up with three different families in Whitman. The others found permanent homes, too.
Paula was never adopted into a permanent family "because I was ugly," she joked. Actually, she was a sick child, frequently hospitalized with chronic, severe ear infections. She remembers those who tended to her at the Home as kind, though she had nothing to compare them with.
"I didn't know what a home was," Townsend said. "I didn't know what a mother was." What she knew was a succession of social workers who seemed to genuinely care for her. They watched over her after she moved into a foster home, then to a Revere boarding school, then into jobs as a mother's helper and sales clerk, right up to her marriage in her mid-twenties.
"Every social worker I had, I took their first name for my middle name, because I didn't have one of my own," Townsend said, surveying a green-walled classroom Monday where teachers were busy filling boxes for the move. "Sylvia, Ethel, Gertrude, Evelyn. I had so many middle names!"
Kids didn't expect much in those days. They took what they were given: Beds in giant dormitories, whatever was on offer in the dining hall, clothes from a shared closet, and medication after supper each night. In the old third-floor infirmary, with its peeling paint and worn carpet, Townsend tried to remember what the medicine was for. It's likely she never knew in the first place. This was a time when institutions routinely medicated children to make sure they slept through the night, or stayed docile.
For all of that, the Home was considered state-of-the-art for its time.
"It was one of the first facilities to offer all-around care: Education, adoption, foster care, as well as tending to the well-being of kids who lived there," said Eileen Crittle, communications director for the Home, and its unofficial historian. Despite its reputation, it was never really an orphanage: The goal was always to care for kids in crisis temporarily, then to move them into new homes, or back to their old ones. In that spirit, the Knight Center's third floor was turned into a temporary polio ward in 1916. In 1940, it housed children evacuated from London during the Blitz.
Hindsight and disrepair made Townsend's last tour through these corridors a melancholy affair: Compared with today, her era, when overwhelmed families routinely parted with their sons and daughters, seems barbarous. She was stoic about her childhood, and seemed uncomfortable with sympathy. But those who love her — her son, Allan, who pushed her wheelchair around the building Monday afternoon, and her daughter, Dorothy, who came along — struggled to remain composed.
"I had to turn away when she said she never knew what a mother was," Allan said.
We don't care for kids like Townsend the way we once did. Now we have a safety net meant to keep struggling families together. In all but the most extreme cases, we treat children's mental and behavioral problems in ways that involve their parents. Over the last decade, driven partly by shrinking budgets, the state has pushed hard for community-based care.
That progress is written all over this old building. The Knight Center's third floor has been unused, and in decline, for a decade or more. The number of kids living at the center has halved over the last five years, to a couple dozen (others visit each day for special education classes, counseling, and family services). Its big dormitories were divided into smaller bedrooms, then converted to offices. The dining hall where Townsend ate her meals became a classroom.
The Walpole center, called Longview Farm, hosts small housing units with their own kitchens. There are many more visiting rooms for families, and more privacy for kids. Set on 165 acres, it has a vegetable garden, a ropes course, and room to run around. Social workers there, like those in the Home's other programs, work in kids' homes as well as in the residential center. While parts of the Jamaica Plain facility evoke Dickens, nothing about the new building screams "institution."
It is a world away from the Knight Center Townsend knew.
The little girl who adopted her social workers' names grew up and into a full life. She has two engaging, devoted children, two grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. Over the years, she reconnected with her siblings, sometimes through happenstance: She recognized her sister Theodora's name on a painting for sale at the Boston department store where she worked as a young woman, and ran into her older brother Richard at a visitor center in Nova Scotia. The last of her siblings died in January, on New Year's Day.
She should have had more as a child. But she won't yield to regret. The Home for Little Wanderers gave her stability, even a measure of love.
"I'm very grateful that they had this place for me," she said, before her son wheeled her out for good.Yvonne Abraham is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Onion Cost and Return Estimates, 2004
Circular 603
Jerry M. Hawkins, Assistant Professor and RITF Economist
James D. Libbin, Professor and Extension Farm Management Specialist
Hollie Hughes, Research Assistant
Brandon Jones, Research Assistant
College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences New Mexico State University
Long-run continued success of New Mexico's commercial onion crop will, as always, depend upon the profitability of the crop in any or all of its various forms. Table 1 presents typical costs and returns of producing onions in the primary producing areas of New Mexico. These estimates provide comparisons that can be used by current and prospective onion producers and processors to assess the profitability of onion production.
Table 1. Costs and returns for producing onions in New Mexico for 2004.
Onions are one of the top ten commodities grown in New Mexico. New Mexico produces three separate onion crops that differ in their harvest times fall, mid season and spring. Onions are primarily grown in the southern counties of the state. Supplies peak in early June and July as fall planted onions mature. Unlike onions grown in northern states, which are stored over the winter, New Mexico's crop goes straight to stores, mostly in southern and eastern states. New Mexico's onions are sold as fresh-market onions, but a portion of the crop is also used for onion rings and frozen products. Regardless of the end use of the onion, the crop must provide an adequate return to cover all of the producer's costs.
Increased profit can be generated by obtaining a higher price or reducing costs. The cost-return relationship must be examined carefully by every producer of every commodity, whether in agriculture or manufacturing a commodity or even in service business. Because of the economic structure of agriculture markets, cost and return relationships are particularly important. The basic building blocks of cost and return analysis are enterprise budgets, which are later organized and compiled into other budgets, including whole farm, partial, and cash flow budgets. An enterprise budget includes all costs and returns associated with producing an enterprise in some particular manner. Enterprise budgets are constructed on a per-unit basis, such as per acre, to make a workable comparison among alternative enterprises. An enterprise is any activity that results in a product used on the farm or sold in the market, and farm is made up of any one or many enterprises. Each enterprise requires a certain combination of resources, such as land, labor, machinery, capital, and purchased inputs.
Enterprise budgets can estimate costs and returns on enterprises currently in the farm plan, as well as new enterprises being considered. Most enterprise budgets also list physical resources needed for production, which is useful information for prospective new producers of a commodity. In addition to producers, many other professionals in agriculture find enterprise budgets valuable information sources. These include lenders, assessors and appraisers, consultants, and lawyers. The New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service publishes representative budgets for various regions of the state annually. These enterprise budgets represent typical costs and returns for a given size and method of production, in a particular region of the state. The budgets are not averages, but represent typical situations.
NMSU budgets represent current conditions for farming situations where management is above average. Adjusting these budgets for prices and yields expected in the future would increase their value as decision-making tools. Projections based upon the unique set of conditions on each farm would be of most value. Some items can be modified easily to build more personalized budgets. Quantities and prices of purchased inputs, yields and prices of crops, the cost of fuel, and labor costs may be readily adapted to individual farms. Another example of a modification to these budgets is to analyze each operation performed on each crop. If these operations are performed in a different pattern, the budgets should be changed. Yields and prices of the crops are highly variable from year to year. In analyzing historical budgets for use in forward planning, the astute manger will decide how much risk can be adsorbed, and select cropping patterns accordingly. In forward planning, the manger should consider both optimistic and pessimistic price and yield combinations to account for risk, and should consider crop rotation plans.
The effect of the various costs on planning decisions and business analysis is very important. These estimates present a full cost approach to enterprise analysis. Many of the costs are opportunity costs, that is, they are real costs of doing business, but may not be cash expenditures. For Example, if all labor is provided by the operator, then the entire amount listed in these estimates is money that can be kept by the operator-it represents a return to operator and family labor. Similarly, all land and all capital is charged at competitive rates regardless of whether land is rented or owned or whether capital is borrowed or owned.
The key to interpreting the "bottomline" figure calculated in these estimates lies in the type of decision at hand. For next year's crop, the important point is the level of gross margins, the returns minus all cash expenses. Can enough cash be generated to meet reasonable family living needs and to cover all financial debt commitments? In the long run, all expenses must be covered (of particular importance when trying to determine whether to buy a farm). In the short run, a negative net income is notdesirable, but may not necessarily be enough to cause business failure. For a short while, deprecation and other non-cash costs can provide a cushion to get over the hump.
Budgets like these are updated annually. More detailed estimates and a guide to using the budgets (NMSU Extension publications 400 Z-32) may be obtained from each county Extension farm management specialist.
Depreciation expense: Annual allowance for the deterioration of an asset whose productive life is more than one year. Depreciation is not paid in cash, but it is an expense to the business since the purchase price of a long-lived asset cannot and should not be deducted in any one year.
Enterprise budget: A detailed full-cost listing of all returns and cost (whether paid or unpaid) associated with a particular crop or livestock enterprise.
Fixed costs: Expenses that do not vary with the level of production, such as depreciation and personal property taxes. For example, personal property taxes are the same on a tractor regardless of whether that tractor is used on one acre or 300 acres. (Line E)
Gross returns: Total cash receipts from a crop, i.e. total yield times price. (Line A)
Interest on operating capital and equipment investment: A calculated cost, or opportunity cost, on the use of capital in the farm business. For some farmers, interest cost might outlay while for others it might be a imputed cost. (Lines I and J)
Net farm income: Returns to labor management, capital, land and risk, i.e., gross returns minus purchased inputs, fuel, oil, lubricants, repairs, and fixed costs. (Line F)
Net operating profit: Gross returns minus total operating expenses. (Line H)
Operating capital: Operating expenses minus fixed costs, i.e. the amount of cash required for all purchased inputs (including labor, fuel, oil and repairs) to produce a crop, without regard to machinery, equipment and land investments.
Operating expenses: The total of all costs of producing a crop, except interest.
Opportunity cost: The cost using a resource in one enterprise when it could be used in alternative enterprises or investment opportunities measured by the return that could be obtained from using the recourse in an alternative investment. For example, if cash used in crop production could be placed in the bank at a 10% rate of interest, the opportunity cost of cash to the crop would be 10%.
Overhead expenses: Expenses not directly associated with production, such as insurance, employee benefits, land taxes, and utilities. These costs occur with-out regard to level of production, or whether production exits at all.
Partial budgeting: A planning procedure that lists only items of receipts and expenses that are affected by a particular change in procedure or organization.
Rate of return on investment: Net operating profit divided by the total machinery, equipment, and land investment. A measure of profitability of assets in percentage terms.
Return over cash expense: Gross returns less all cash operating expenses. (Line C = A−B)
Return to land and risk: Net operating profit minus the interest change on the use of machinery, equipment, and operating capital. This return figure shows the final return before a land charge is calculated. (Line L)
Return to risk: Return to land and risk minus a charge for land investment; the amount of gross returns left over after charges are made for every factor of production.
Variable cost: Expenses that vary with the level of level of production, such as labor, fuel, oil and repairs, fertilizer, and seed.
Gross margins: Returns minus variable costs; the most important short-run planning figure.
Return to capital, labor, land, and risk: Charges for the listed factors of capital, labor, and land have not yet been subtracted from gross returns. Typically, these three factors are owned.
Whole-farm budget: Projected crop mix revenues and expenses for a production year. A projected plan and income statement.
