7 Social Security changes for 2013
Greater online access means big changes to Social Security procedures this year. Find out what other changes have been made and how they affect you.
The Social Security Administration has implemented a variety of new rules and features for 2013. The two-year payroll tax cut has officially ended, and paper Social Security checks will soon cease to be printed. A growing number of Social Security services will also be online this year. Here's a look at some of the recent Social Security changes that go into effect this year:
Payroll tax cut ends: The temporary payroll tax cut was allowed to expire at the end of 2012. Workers who paid 4.2% of their income into the Social Security system in 2011 and 2012 have now resumed contributing 6.2% of their earnings.
Higher payroll tax cap: The payroll tax cap increased by $3,600, from $110,100 in 2012 to $113,700 in 2013. Workers who earn more than this threshold don't need to pay Social Security taxes on that income.
More online services: A trip to the Social Security office is no longer necessary to start your Social Security payments. A growing number of retirees are claiming Social Security payments online, largely thanks to an advertising campaign starring actors Patty Duke and George Takei. In 2012, workers could access their Social Security statements online for the first time, including their complete earnings history and expected payments. About 3 million people have already done so. In early 2013, Social Security added online services including the ability to access a benefit verification letter and payment history. Retirees can also change their address and add or change direct-deposit information online. "The ability to do this online, it will be a real convenience for the people who are required to have these benefit verification letters," says Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue. "It is going to allow us to focus on the kind of conversations that we really do need to have face to face."
Reduced office hours: Social Security offices are reducing the hours they are open to the public to save money and avoid paying overtime to workers. Social Security locations nationwide have been closing 30 minutes early each day since Nov. 19, 2012, and they began closing to the public at noon every Wednesday on Jan. 2.
Paper checks will end: On March 1, the Treasury department will stop mailing paper checks to Social Security recipients. Retirees will be required to choose to have their Social Security payments either directly deposited into a bank or credit union account or loaded onto a prepaid Direct Express Debit MasterCard. "If you already have a bank account or credit union account, we encourage you, and it's our preference that you sign up for direct deposit," says Walt Henderson, the director of the electronic fund transfer strategy division at the Treasury Department. "The debit card is primarily for unbanked benefit recipients. We don't want people who already have a bank account to feel that they have to get the debit card." New Social Security beneficiaries have been required to choose an electronic payment option since May 2011, and approximately 93% of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are already being made electronically.
Higher earnings limit: People between ages 62 and 66 who work and collect Social Security benefits at the same time might have part or all of their Social Security benefit temporarily withheld. Workers between ages 62 and 65 can earn up to $15,120 in 2013, after which $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 of income above the earnings limit. People who turn 66 this year can earn up to $40,080, and then $1 of benefits will be withheld for every $3 earned above the limit. However, once you turn 66, the earnings limit no longer applies. And benefits may be recalculated at age 66 to reflect the withheld benefits and continued earnings.
Bigger payments: Social Security beneficiaries began receiving payments that were 1.7% larger in January. The average monthly Social Security benefit in January increased from $1,240 to $1,261 as a result of the cost-of-living adjustment.
More from U.S. News & World Report:
I collect SSA and a retirement from Military and Fed service which add up to barely enough to live on. I have turned 70 and still need to work P/T, but I certainly can't complain for a payout and health coverage at this age.
it is not just illegals. I worked at local social service office. plenty of organizations sponsor immigrants for entry but do not support them or just for a month or so. then , they come down looking for public assistance , Medicaid, and food stamps. a lot of them end up on ssi, without ever having pt a single dime of payments into the system.
if you sponsor somebody into the country, it should be a law that you have to support them until they become a citizen, or for at least 4 years. that would cut down on religious and other agencies with money from dumping the people onto the taxpayer to support when they are the ones who brought the people here in the first place.
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family
and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter
whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,
Now 6.2%
on the first $113,700
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.
Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!
------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want
to take your Social Security away!
I am retired and I remember when the government changed the retirement age for my age group. For years
I thought I would be retiring at 65, but that did not matter in the end as I ended up retiring early because of
several health problems. I have medicare but only use the hospital for emergency ,I get all my medical care
at the VA due to seious injury in military. I am against Obama allowing illegals to become citizens its just
not right if he does that he will be screwing over the whole social security system and cause it to go
bankrupt much faster and it wont be Bushes fault it will all be OBAMAS FAULT. He is the worst democratic
president we have had since Carter. Even carter did not try to change constitution.Carter followed protocals
and used Congress according to the laws laid out by the founding fathers.

COVINGTON -- A 27-year-old Newton County man could very easily have died Tuesday night when he was shot in the head; however, he suffered only a "grazing wound," according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
NCSO spokesman Lt. Keith Crum said Jamie Trevor Lloyd, 22, of 1145 Gum Creek Trail was arrested and charged with aggravated assault in connection with the shooting.
Crum said deputies were called to a residence on Dry Pond Road and when they arrived at the scene, they saw two men standing in a driveway.
"One of them said he had been shot in the head, but it turns out it was just a grazing wound," Crum said. "Through his statements and other witness statements, it was determined that a group of them went to a restaurant and returned to the residence after consuming alcoholic beverages. They said they were celebrating someone's birthday."
Crum said an altercation broke out and the victim suffered the gunshot wound. A black handgun was recovered at the scene.
The victim was treated and released from an area hospital.

Past Players
Jon O'Connor
A cultured centre-half, O'Connor made his debut against Manchester United in February 1996. He played five times for the first team before moving to Sheffield United. O'Connor won England youth and Under 21 honours during his stay at Goodison Park and later in his career he joined Blackpool.
Michael Branch
Liverpool-born Branch was rated as a 'hot prospect' when he made his bow at the age of 17 but he never hit the heights that all Evertonians had hoped for. After a loan spell at Manchester City, the centre-forward eventually left Everton for Wolves in 1999 and had further spells at Reading, Hull City, Bradford City, Chester City and Halifax.
Graham Allen
A commanding central defender, Allen had to cross the Mersey to really give his career a kick-start. After making his debut in 1996, he played just half-a-dozen matches before moving to Tranmere Rovers, where he played over 200 games. He later has spells at Rushden & Diamonds and Chester City. He now plays for Bradford Park Avenue.
Danny Cadamarteri
Cadamarteri first played for Everton on the last day of the 1996-97 season, at Goodison against Chelsea, but it was the start of the following campaign that really marked his arrival. He scored a memorable goal against Liverpool at Goodison but he failed to build on that and made more substitute appearances than starts. He has had spells with Leeds United, Sheffield United, Bradford City and Leicester City but now turns out for Huddersfield Town.
Richard Dunne
Republic of Ireland international defender, Dunne became Everton's youngest-ever FA Cup player when he appeared against Swindon Town in January 1997. He was part of the 1998 FA Youth Cup-winning squad but failed to win a regular starting position in the first-team. He moved to Manchester City for £3million in October 2000 and has made over 250 appearances for the Citizens.

The Eagles returned from the bye Tuesday and Chip Kelly announced that Nick Foles is his starting quarterback going forward. He said he doesn't want Foles looking over his shoulder, fearing he might be benched if he has a bad game.
In some respects, the announcement was a formality, but it was a necessary one. Kelly has avoided making Foles' status official while Vick was recovering from his reinjured hamstring. Vick is healthy now, and will practice fully this week as the backup, Kelly said.
"Nothing's changed in where I am or who I am," Foles said after practice. He said he would approach everything the same way every week.
"It was simple. Chip's a simple guy," Foles said, when asked how the news was delivered. "I just went in there, he told me the situation, that I was the 'one' and Mike was the 'two,' and let's go … It's not drawn out, like in movies, you sit down and there's like, tears — I walked in, we talked a little about the Oregon-Arizona game (won by Foles' Wildcats) … I was ready to go, Mike was ready to go."
"You can't be naïve. You've got to understand the situation. You've got to just know the most important thing for you to do is try to be there to support your team," Vick said. He said he and Foles met separately with Kelly. "I didn't want to make this a hard decision for coach … I didn't want to make it a hard decision for anybody, for myself. You can't be frustrated by it. I just wanted it to be a smooth transition, and it was. Coach Kelly, when we sat down, he didn't even have to say much."
All the injured Eagles except safety Earl Wolff (knee) were scheduled to take part in Tuesday's practice. Kelly said he doesn't expect Wolff to be able to practice this week, so it would seem Wolff won't play against 7-4 Arizona this weekend.
An NFL Network reporter asked if knowing the starter would help "the guys in the huddle."
"We don't huddle," Kelly replied.

Another bad chart, this time from MoveOn.org:
The most obvious problem with this chart, as correctly identified by Neven Mrgan, is that it doesn't provide a visual correlation between the population and wealth distributions. In fact, it doesn't provide a visual display of the population distribution at all.
Here's my attempt to respond to Mr. Mrgan's complaint:
Needless to say there are also other problems with this graphic. For instance, the breakdown of the population into 1%, 4%, 15%, and 80% seems suspiciously arbitrary. I also can't resist pointing out that democracy is of course a political system, not an economic one. The source data has plenty of numbers to delve into and perhaps that'll be a topic for a future post.
Update: I just started examining the source data and the first thing to catch my eye is that this distribution from 2007 is actually not that different from what it was in 1983. The distribution between the top 1%, the next 19%, and the bottom 80% in 1983 was 43% - 48% - 9%, and in 2007 it was 43% - 50% - 7%.
Looked at a bit differently though, the wealth of the bottom 80% has been fairly volatile. It dropped from 8.7% in 1983 to a low of 6.6% in 1989 - a 24% decline in 6 years. Then it shot up to 9.5% in 1995 - a 44% gain in 6 years, before heading back down to 7.0% in 2007. Since this is all expressed as share of the country's total wealth, it'll take further review of the data to determine to what extent this volatility was the bottom 80%'s wealth changing versus the wealth of the top 20% changing.
It also turns out that the net worth of the bottom 80% is substantially higher than their financial worth, albeit declining and still well under half what the top 1% has. Pretty terrible any way you slice it.

By Adam Krohn
For the AJC
Miller Grove's chance at back-to-back state titles is intact, thanks to persistence and a late-game charge against Tucker on Tuesday in the Class AAAA girls quarterfinals.
Led by senior guard Katie Hunt, the Lady Wolverines surged to a 50-40 victory to advance to Saturday's semifinals at Kennesaw State University. They'll play the winner of Wednesday's quarterfinal game between Thomas County Central and Effingham.
Miller Grove (25-5) trailed the Lady Tigers by as many as nine points in the second half before closing the game on a 22-11 run. Hunt was the key in the fourth quarter, scoring eight points on 6-of-6 free-throw shooting and coming up with two crucial steals with less than two minutes to play. Her two free throws with 11.9 seconds pushed the Lady Wolverines' lead into double figures for the game's final score.
"We took Tucker lightly, and we shouldn't have," said Hunt, who had a team-high 13 points. "The second half, we just had to come out and do it. It was that or go home, and we didn't want to go home."
Miller Grove trailed 24-17 at halftime and didn't take its first lead until seven minutes left in the game, when two Hunt free throws put the Lady Wolverines ahead 35-34. Tucker's Nuba Jackson answered with a 3-pointer to put the Lady Tigers ahead 37-35 with 6:47 left, but they wouldn't hit another field goal the rest of the way.
Tucker still had a chance to pull off the victory, behind 44-40 with 1:30 left, but Hunt's steal and lay-up, followed by another Hunt steal on Tucker's ensuing possession, allowed Miller Grove to run crucial time off the clock and finally gain control.
"I tell them all the time that it's hard to be a team that never quits, and we're not going to quit," said Lady Wolverines coach Renee Breedlove, who has coached Miller Grove since the school opened in 2005. "Regardless of what the score is, or how the whistle's being blown, we're going to play to the end."
It was the Lady Tigers' most successful season since 2004, when they also reached the quarterfinals. Tucker (25-5) controlled the game well into the third quarter, but a right knee injury to starting point guard Tori Robinson late in the second quarter proved too much to overcome, 10-year coach Robin Potter said.
Robinson returned to start the second half, but left the game for good during the opening minutes of the third quarter.
"I think she's the most underrated guard in the county," Potter said. "We have a difficult time being on track without her in the game as our point guard. I think that was probably the turning point in the game. We don't go really deep."
Tucker stayed in the game because of Jackson, a junior who led all scorers with 16 points, and freshman guard Najla Shamsideen, who scored six points and frustrated the Miller Grove defense all night with her full-court play.
Klarissa Weaver added 10 points for Miller Grove.

2012 Audi A6 — Flash Drive
This 2012 review is representative of model years 2005 to 2014.
By Staff of MSN Autos
The Audi A6 is significantly larger than the A4 in all the best ways. The interior is more spacious than the A4, and the trunk is practically enormous, yet from the outside the two cars are clearly from the same family — and that is a good thing. Audi has definitely led the industry in stylish interiors, and the exterior of the A6 is quite attractive, too. It's a very comfortable and capable car. But from my perspective, the A6 sits in an unfortunate price range. It's significantly more expensive than the A4, but it feels only larger, and not much more luxurious. If it were faster or more responsive than the A4 perhaps the extra cost would be easier to justify. –Paul Hagger
Audi has received a lot of recognition over the last few years for excellent design and exquisite interiors, but Audi is also producing cars with some of the best driving dynamics and fun-to-drive factor of any manufacturer. The Audi A6 is not a small car, but it has a light, nimble feel and quick acceleration that is surprising for a car of its size. Behind the quickness is a superb powertrain with a supercharged 3.0-liter engine that delivers more than 300 horsepower through an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Power is instantly available at any speed, but you will also get over 20 mpg every day and close to 30 mpg on the highway. Our test car was equipped with sport suspension for crisp, responsive handling, finished off with sweet 19-inch alloy wheels and summer performance tires. The interior boasts the modern design and fine materials expected from Audi. The A6 is an engaging sport sedan with plenty of room for four to five adults. –Mike Meredith
With the redesigned A6, I think Audi has set the bar for luxury sedans. The headlights are its most noticeable feature, looking cool in daylight or at night. The interior is very comfortable for front- and rear-seat passengers, with plenty of amenities. The MMI — Audi's method of user interface — is similar to BMW's iDrive, but much more useful and intuitive. Being a data geek, I especially liked the trip computer that displays all the relevant info — mpg, speed, time — all on one easy-to-read screen. Of course, a luxury sedan today has to have performance as well, and the A6 delivers. The supercharged V6 sounds great and puts plenty of low-end torque through Audi's legendary quattro system for very quick acceleration off the line. But even with plenty of power on tap, fuel economy is impressive — I averaged around 24 mpg in mostly city driving. Not bad for a big, powerful luxury sedan. –Perry Stern

Duck races set for Saturday
Creek will be afloat with as many as 1,000 duckies July
27. It isnt a fluke migration, though, its the fifth
annual Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce
Ducky Derby.
The derby, which began as a small fundraiser for the chamber, where supporters could buy and decorate their own ducks, turned into a major event last year, with 600 entries, according to chamber president Nick Jerns. He said as many as 100 people came out to the creek last year to watch the plastic ducks race 100 feet for the grand prize of seven night WorldMark getaway. This year, event coordinator Cheryl Ryan expects more.
Prizes are better this year, Ryan said. The WorldMark getaway to any of more than 40 resorts worldwide is still the grand prize, but the next 10 speedy ducks could garner packages valued between $85 and $430. Prizes include dining, recreational, pampering, whale-watching, and even coffee packages. New to the derby this year are raffle prizes. While duck-owners need not be present to win, the chamber has secured 20-30 prizes for racegoers.
Tickets are $5 each, and are available at Bank NorthWest, Birch Bay Business Park, Dock of the Bay, Kim's Coffee Cafe and at the race. Funds raised will go toward the recently approved five acre community park, the first for Birch Bay, according to Jerns. The race starts at 1 p.m.

Sitting on my laurels
Fed them, read them, washed them, wed them
Taught them all their morals
Over 50? Feeling great!
Welcoming that wrinkle
Gravity - go do your thing

Goodbye fads, hello plaids

Over 50? No regrets
Think it s pretty nifty

A judge has delayed her ruling on whether to throw out the judgment -in the "code of silence" case. Both sides are asking for the court to intervene. It couldn't be used for future suits against the city.
Two law professors stepped in and asked the judge to take time to consider the public before decide willing to vacate the judgment in this case, which was resolved last week.
Five years after a security camera captured the beating at Chicago bar - after the victim won the case against the city - both sides have joined to ask the court to throw out the verdict.
There is an advantage to the victim: The city would pay her damages right away.
A jury awarded Karolina Obrycka $850,000 in damages after a trial last month, for the 2007 beating she took from former Chicago Police officer Anthony Abbate.
Now both sides are appealing to the court to erase the jury's finding that a department "code of silence" existed that led the officer to believe his actions would not have consequences.
The city said it reached out to Obrycka with the deal that she could quickly collect her money without risking the chance of having the award reduced by the appeals process. It would also protect the city and taxpayers from future payouts.
Mayor Emanuel said this action would close the chapter on something that happened before he was mayor. Two law professors said it's outrageous that the city would try to buy its way out of the verdict and they filed a motion to stop the city.
"I think in its simplest form – we agreed that this became a no-brainer for us," Obrycka's attorney Terry Ekl said. "What we received out of this agreement with the city was no risk that the judgment could be reduced either by the trial court or on appeal, which was a possibility. No risk on appeal that the case, resolved against us.
"We felt the judge entered absolutely correct rulings throughout the case. She is a wonderful judge," Ekl continued. "But, it would ultimately be sustained on appeal, affirmed. But, that risk always is present."
"What we're seeing in court this morning is a really shameful exercise," Northwestern law professor Locke Brown said. "The city of Chicago stands up before the judge and says, please, let's get rid of this judgment because it is going to aggravate us in future cases and we really don't need to be troubled by it."
Professor Bowman also said that judgment is important because it sends the city a message that police misconduct must be handled differently.
The judge said she would render a decision in about 10 days.

The rooms are a little cramped when the luggage is added. Sufficient but limited continental breakfast.

If the nightly rates on race weekends are going to be elevated, at least make them more competitive for what's actually being paid for. This hotel needed to be another $30/night cheaper than the competition to be ethical.

Posted: Monday, October 4, 1999 in ACE Press Releases

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) offers the following advice to help consumers sort through the myriad of fitness club options:

Delegate Meshea Poore, D-Kanawha, was selected as the first
West Virginian to attend the Young Leaders Conference of the Council for the United
States and Italy.
Poore traveled to Austin, Texas
this month for the conference.
Poore described the experience as "amazing."
"To be in a room with people from across the world, talking
about roots and borders and how we could be defined and/or limited by them, was
very interesting," she said.
The Council for the United
States and Italy
is a bi-national, non-profit, non-political organization that was founded in
1983 to foster closer ties between the United
States and Italy,
and between the United States
and Europe.
The conference takes place alternately in the United
States and in Italy,
and for the past five years, participants from other countries also have been
included. The purpose of the conferences is to allow participants to gain new
perspectives on global issues, as well as to create a network among emerging
European and American leaders.
"We talked about the personal, political and economic
dimensions of our countries," Poore said. "We discussed how we are agents of
change, and it is our responsibility to begin to invest in the thought of
expanding outside of our comfort zone to seek opportunity for our countries and
communities — always understanding the richness of our roots, but also the
value of others' thoughts, ideas and resources."
The Council paid for the conference, which took place Oct.

Salisbury transfer Eric Law picked up a rebound on the edge of the crease and scored with 13.4 seconds left to cap a historic comeback and give No. 4 seed Denver a 12-11 win over fifth-seeded North Carolina in the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament quarterfinals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon.
The game, played before an announced 7,749, was the first men's lacrosse quarterfinal held at a venue not on the East Coast.
Denver, the first team in men's quarterfinal history to win after trailing by five goals or more, will face No. 1 seed Syracuse in the semifinals Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Tar Heels (13-4), who saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end, were unable to protect a six-goal lead and were outscored 5-1 in the fourth quarter by the Pioneers (14-4).
"North Carolina — what a train that was, trying to stop that coming downhill at us early," said coach Bill Tierney, who leads Denver into Championship Weekend for the second time in the past three seasons. "Mostly, I'm proud of these young men and teammates for persevering. You don't get too many opportunities in life to fight through such adversity and come back ahead."
Joey Sankey, Davey Emala (Gilman) and Mark McNeill (St. Mary's) each scored a pair of goals for North Carolina, while Steve Pontrello, Chad Tutton, Evan Connell (Calvert Hall), Ryan Kilpatrick and Pat Foster (Boys' Latin) each scored goals. Jimmy Bitter, Ryan Creighton, Marcus Holman (Gilman), Greg McBride (Gilman) and Sankey each had assists for the Tar Heels.
Law had three goals and three assists for Denver, and Wes Berg led the Pioneers with four goals and an assist. Colin Scott scored twice for the Pioneers, while Cameron Flint had three assists.
Denver outshot the Tar Heels 37-35 for the game and 16-5 in the fourth quarter. The Tar Heels had a 24-22 edge in ground balls despite Denver winning 17 of 26 faceoffs in the match. Chase Carraro took all 26 draws for the Pioneers, who beat Carolina in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year.
Kieran Burke made 10 saves for the Tar Heels including six in the fourth quarter as the Pioneers staged their furious comeback. Jamie Faus, who played the last 50:23 in the goal for Denver, had 11 saves.
Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 4:03 of the game. Emala scored at 12:03 off an assist by Sankey. Sankey was set up behind the cage and fed Emala on the left side where he scored on an eight-yard bounce shot. On Carolina's next possession, Sankey scored an unassisted goal at 10:57 as he dodged from goal line extended on the right side to finish low past Denver goalie Ryan LaPlante.
The Tar Heels extended their lead to 3-0 on Kilpatrick's first goal of the year. On a give and go on the break, Kilpatrick fed McBride. McBride delivered an over-the-shoulder pass back to Kilpatrick on the run and he scored on a bounce shot at 8:44. A little over a minute later, Carolina made it 4-0 on McNeill's first goal of the year, assisted by Creighton. The Heels scored off a successful clear with McNeill finishing low from 15 yards out at 7:21 of the first quarter.
Tutton scored the next goal for Carolina as he came in through the substitution box and scored on a low hard shot from 15 yards out with 6:36 left in the quarter. Connell scored the next goal for the Tar Heels, the first of his career. The close defenseman forced a turnover, scooped up the ground ball and on a quick clearing attempt he scored from 15 yards out into an empty net. The goal came at 5:24. Denver scored its first goal of the game at 4:11 of the quarter as Scott's first shot was saved by Burke, but the ball bounced directly to Scott, who finished on the rebound.
Each team scored three times in the second quarter. Berg scored at 12:29, assisted by Law to cut the UNC lead to four goals. Sankey answered for the Tar Heels with his second goal of the game on a bounced shot from 10 yards out in front of the goal at 11:04. Neither team scored for almost six minutes before Foster tallied for the Tar Heels at 5:25, taking a feed from Holman out front, turning a firing a shot by Faus.
Denver answered with two quick goals in a span of 26 seconds. Berg scored at 4:30 after a failed clear by UNC and after Denver won the next face-off, Law rolled the crease to score at 4:04. Carolina notched the last goal of the half as Pontrello scored in a timer-on situation, stinging high heat from 10 yards out on the left side off an assist by Bitter.
The Pioneers outscored the Tar Heels 3-1 in the third quarter. Gordie Koerber (Gilman) scored an extra-man goal at 12:39 followed 26 seconds later by a goal by Berg, assisted by Law.
McNeill scored his second goal of the game with 7:02 left in the quarter on a low shot after he finished off a one-man clear. It is McNeill first multi-goal game since his freshman year. The Pioneers then pulled back within three goals on a tally by Berg, assisted by Flint with 1:21 left in the third quarter.
The Pioneers scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter. Law scored at 14:19 when Denver was two men up after a pair of slashing penalties in the last minute of the third quarter. Then the Pioneers pulled within a single goal at 8:51 as Jeremy Noble scored an acrobatic goal while falling to the ground with Law on the assist.
North Carolina regained a two-goal lead at 7:34 as Pontrello's shot was saved by Faus before Emala claimed the ground ball and scored on the rebound.

RIVERSIDE --- Simone Holmes of California Baptist University was named the NCCAA women's basketball 2012-13 NCCAA Player of the Year this week.
The senior guard from Phoenix, Ariz. helped lead CBU to a PacWest Championship and a 25-6 record over the course of the 2012-13 season.
She averaged 27.8 minutes per game for the Lancers this season and led the team in points per game with 15.6. Holmes also led the team in steals with 75 on the season and finished third on the team in blocks with 12.
Holmes scored 20 points and recorded six steals in the championship game this season against Southern Nazarene, leading CBU on a run at the NCCAA tournament that fell just two points shy of a title. She averaged a team-best 19.6 ppg in five post season games this year, grabbing 19 steals along the way.
Holmes was also named to the All-PacWest team previously this year and ended her career at CBU being named to the NCCAA All-Tournament Team. She was also NCCAA West Region Player of the Year.

Fluorescent Antibody Test for Rabies
Brain impression smears are prepared on microscope slides using three parts of the brain: cerebellum, hippocampus, and brain stem. The smears are fixed in acetone for at least one hour. The smears are stained using a fluorescein labeled antibody specific for rabies virus, which is diluted in a normal rabbit brain suspension, and incubated with the antibody for 30 minutes. They are then washed in PBS two times, for five minutes each, dipped in distilled water, and air-dried. The slides are mounted with buffered glycerol, pH 9.0, and examined using an epifluorescent microscope. Positive and negative control slides are included with each run.
Monoclonal Typing of Rabies Isolates
Rabies positive specimens are tested using an indirect fluorescent-antibody procedure with a panel of 19 monoclonal antibodies. Acetone fixed touch impressions of brain material or infected cell culture monolayers are stained with each of the monoclonal antibodies for 30 minutes at 37° C, washed to remove unbound antibody, and stained with fluorescein-conjugated goat antibody to mouse IgG. The slides are mounted with buffered glycerol, pH 9.0, and examined using an epifluorescent microscope. The strains of rabies are characterized based on patterns of reaction with the panel of monoclonal antibodies.
RT-PCR and Restriction Enzyme Digestion
Several strains of rabies cannot be distinguished by monoclonal typing and must be tested further by genetic analysis to differentiate the specific types, such as the Texas fox (TF) and domestic dog/coyote (DDC) strains. In brief, RNA is extracted from positive brain material using TRIzol. Reverse transcription is performed with the extracted RNA, using primer 10g (CTA CAA TGG ATG CCG AC), complementary to the sequence encoding the amino terminus of the nucleoprotein. Amplification of reverse-transcribed cDNA is performed with the primer pair 10g and a reverse primer 304 (TTG ACG AAG ATC TTG CTC AT), complementary to the sequence encoding the amino terminus of the non-structural or phosphoprotein. The final amplified DNA, a 1449-bp fragment, is visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis with ethidium bromide staining.
A restriction endonuclease digestion is performed on DNA amplified by primer pair, 10g and 304, by the addition of restriction enzyme DdeI or HinfI to the amplicons. Distinct fragment patterns are resolved by electrophoresis for the following strains of rabies using this method: Texas fox, domestic dog/coyote, Sonora dog, hog-nosed skunk, south central skunk, north central skunk, and Arizona fox.

The Monroe College two-year SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) team achieved national ranking in the May 23-25 SIFE U.S. Year 2004 National Exposition hosted by the Kansas City, Mo. business community and presented by the Radio Shack SIFE USA National Champion Awards. Monroe's twenty-eight member SIFE team finished in second-place in its individual grouping of five colleges and in the nation's top half of the schools competing in the two-year league.
"This is really an outstanding achievement," said faculty advisor Professor Max Torres. "It's the result of hard work, dedication to community involvement, and the students' understanding of how to apply their considerable business acumen to real-world situations." In the national SIFE competition, teams are judged during a 24-minute presentation and are evaluated on creativity and innovation, results of educational programs, and application of principles of free enterprise. The Monroe SIFE team's presentation consisted of six different projects they had worked on. In each, they used their training in business management and marketing to better their community.
"The real bottom line for us is to help our communities and we've done that," said Monroe SIFE President Sherman Browne, a Business Management major. "But we couldn't be more enthusiastic about the experience of competing. It was like the Super Bowl of academics."

Police say a vehicle stop Wednesday night led to the arrest of two men suspected of having marijuana in a school zone.
Andnevin Huff and Michael Wiggins Jr., both 21, were accused of possessing the drugs inside a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro, which was stopped for having a non-working headlight about 8:45 p.m. on Hart Lane near Jere Baxter Middle School, police said.
After receiving permission to search the car, officers allegedly found a half-pound of marijuana under a rear seat packaged into five separate plastic bags, police said.
Both men are charged with felony marijuana possession in a drug-free school zone and were released on bond.

I created this animation in 2001 . This is the first post I ever did for NG. I've seen the another animation using the same song yesterday for the first time. It's interesting for me to see how other artists would animate the same song. As for the audio, if anyone has a better copy I would gladly re-import the better audio into the file. I have a feeling that the audio is the same for everyone. It's just that I have my audio setting very high so people can hear more crappy detail. The song was poor to begin with, I have a feeling that they used samples of the origional song to create the parody. Sort of sucks that I'm losing ratings over something I have no controll over. What can I do?? Anyway I hope everyone can get a laugh over it....

Most people who work out are just concerned about staying in shape, but the co-founders of a fitness chain started in Minnesota are now venturing into the world of wax hair removal.
While I may involve a little pain for some gain, the storage room at the corporate headquarters of Anytime Fitness has become the newest employee perk. It's been transformed into a wax room where Lisa O'Brien has been waxing workers of all sexes.
All of this is being done in preparation for a new venture. Dave Mortensen and Chuck Runyon started Anytime Fitness 10 years ago, and they basically invented the concept of the strip-mall fitness center. Now, they're about to open their 2,000th location.
But they're also about to open something else. Recently, the pair bought a chain of five stores called Waxing the City, and they hope to take body waxing in the same, easy-to-access direction.
Their first location will open in a couple of weeks, but they plan to grow the stand-alone waxing store into a nationwide chain.

The large city of Dijon in France is the capital of both the Cote d'Or Department and the Burgundy Region, making it a popular destination for travellers. Not only does a Dijon Area holiday mean that you are slap-bang in the middle of wine-making country, you are also ideally situated to enjoy a range of activities and attractions that this part of France has to offer. A Dijon Area holiday rental house not only provides spectacular views of rolling green countryside, it has all of the comforts and amenities you would expect to find in a top French hotel.
The advantage of having a Dijon Area holiday is that it can be as strenuous or as relaxed as you want it to be. You can opt to simply rest in your wonderful Dijon Area holiday rental house and soak up the sun; or you can indulge in a variety of pursuits available in the area such as swimming, horse riding, tennis, golf, fishing, cycling, walking and paragliding.
If you feel like venturing further afield than your stunning Dijon Area holiday rental house, then why not take a trip to the neighbouring department of Jura, where you will discover the town of Dole. The town is the epitome of the traditional French settlement with plenty of cobbled streets and the remains of a Roman bridge to be seen. Dole also has several museums including one dedicated to Louis Pasteur who was born in the town. Visitors will get a double delight if they choose to visit The Dole Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibits are housed in premises known as The House of the Officers, which is a magnificent example of 18th century military architecture as well as being able to view some exquisite examples of art.
If you are now considering booking a fantastic Dijon holiday rental house then you will need to prepare yourself for warm summers and cold winters. Generally speaking the warmest time of the year to have a Dijon holiday are the months of July and August when the daytime temperature can reach a very comfortable 26°C. The winter months of December, January and February still offer daytime temperatures of anywhere between lows of 0° and highs of 7°C. The annual rainfall amount for the area is 20 inches.
Travellers on a Dijon Area holiday are likely to land at Lyon Airport (LYS) which is just a short drive from the area. Airlines that have affordable, regular flights to Lyon include Air France, British Airways, BMI and easyJet. Passengers can leave the UK from a variety of airports such as Liverpool (LPL), Bristol (BRS), Edinburgh (EDI), Birmingham (BHX) and London Gatwick (LGW).
