When is a disability not a disability
There is one problem with all this, and is the reason I think Geri Dawson's comments are concerning and also very telling of Autism Speaks' continued focus in eradicating autism. Those disembodied disorders? They are actually part and parcel of people, people with bodies, with brains and minds, people with disabilities. Every "cure," "treatment," and other intervention is not actually carried out against a disorder. It is carried out on and sometimes in, the bodies of real people, including children. Disability is embodied. It cannot be separated from the person who has it. Every attempt to eradicate a disorder has to be balanced against the fact that the disorder is carried within a person. Not so disembodied after all, creepy voices or tragic rhetoric notwithstanding.

Advice for Tenants
Local Authorities in England and Wales have powers under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 to prosecute landlords, or indeed any person, for the offences of unlawful eviction and harassment.
The law protects 'residential occupiers' from both of these offences. The majority of people who are renting their homes are residential occupiers. The principal exclusion is the occupier who lives in the same property as their landlord and who also shares living space (such as a kitchen, bathroom or living room) with the landlord. People in this category would be considered excluded licensees. Excluded licensees have little protection from eviction - an example would be a lodger. A lodger is only entitled to 'reasonable' notice and the notice does not even have to be in writing.
Since 15 January 1989 most new tenancies in the private sector (including Housing Association tenancies) have been either Assured or Assured Shorthold. If you rent from a private landlord you probably have an Assured Shorthold tenancy. A landlord can ask you to leave an Assured Shorthold tenancy without giving you any reasons, but they must give you valid notice first.
If you have a fixed term contract, your landlord doesn't generally have an automatic right to possession of the property until the fixed term has ended. If he wants possession at the end of the fixed term, he must say so in writing. You must be given at least two months notice of this.
If you had a fixed term contract, but it has expired, you will have a statutory periodic tenancy. Your landlord must give two months notice in writing that he requires possession of the property if he wants you to leave.
There is no prescribed form for either type of notice, but they must both be in writing. If the tenancy is a periodic one, the date specified in the notice after which possession is required, must be the last day of a rental period. The notice must also state that possession is required by virtue of Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.
After either notice has expired, if you have not agreed to leave the property voluntarily, your landlord can apply for a possession order from the County Court in order to evict you. If the landlord is awarded a possession order and you still do not leave the property, he can ask court bailiffs to enforce the possession order.
If you live in a house in multiple occupation (HMO) which requires licensing, but which is not licensed, your landlord cannot give you a Section 21 notice. There is more information on which HMOs need licensing in Swansea here, www.swansea.gov.uk/hmol2011 or you can contact the HMO Team on (01792) 635600.
Yes. Most tenants who let a property as a separate dwelling (i.e. the tenant doesn't live in the same building as the landlord) before this date will have a Regulated tenancy. Regulated tenants have greater security of tenure than Assured Shorthold tenants. They, or their landlord, also have the right to ask the Rent Officer to set a fair rent. Landlords do not have an automatic right to evict Regulated tenants. If they want to end the tenancy they must first serve Notice to Quit, then ask the County Court to award possession on a specified ground. For it to be legally valid Notice to Quit must contain certain information about a tenant's rights.
Unlawful eviction is both a civil and a criminal offence. If you are evicted unlawfully outside office hours you should contact the Police. If you need emergency accommodation, you should contact the Council on (01792) 636000. You will be able to speak to a duty officer who will try and assist you. If you are evicted unlawfully during working hours contact the Council on (01792) 635600. The Department will be able to advise you of your rights and contact your landlord to advise him he is breaking the law. If you wish to be reinstated to the property, the Department will offer you advice and assistance to get back into your home. It may be necessary to obtain the services of a solicitor to obtain an injunction ordering your landlord to readmit you. It can take several days to arrange this. If the evidence is strong enough, the Council will consider taking a criminal prosecution against your landlord. You may also be able to take civil action for damages against your landlord.
Harassment is a very broad term and can include any acts likely to interfere with the peace or comfort of the residential occupier. A typical example is where a landlord interferes with the electricity or water supplies.
If your electricity, gas or water supplies have been turned off, the Council can serve legal notices on your landlord making him re-instate the disconnected service. Other types of harassment can be more difficult to prove. If the evidence is strong enough, the Council will consider taking a criminal prosecution against the person harassing you. If the harassment involves threats of violence you should contact the Police. As with unlawful eviction, an injunction can be an effective way of preventing harassment.

Should Apple Fear a Smartphone Subsidy Revolt?
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Earlier this week Walter Piecyk of BTIG Research made headlines by cutting his rating on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) from "buy" to "neutral." The call attracted lots of attention being one of the only negative calls on Apple. Last week an analyst gave Apple a $1,001 price target; this week Piecyk is forecasting a revenue miss driven by a subsidy revolt, which is a bold call indeed. His reasoning is straightforward:
- The iPhone is expensive
- Wireless carriers have propped sales by subsidizing
- Subsidies have been good for growth, but are becoming a burden
- Some carriers are already moving to slow upgrade cycle, others may follow
- iPhone sales will fall with subsidies
How much of an effect is Piecyk anticipating? Assuming other companies follow AT&T's (NYSE: T) lead, quite a big one. According to AllThingsD Piecyk had this to say: "We expect Apple's iPhone sales to drop to 27.5 million units in Fiscal Q3, resulting in a revenue estimate that is $1 billion below consensus." Quite a bold call, particularly since it hinges on a subsidy revolt.
How likely is a subsidy revolt? Almost guaranteed at this point, and even if subsidies aren't dropped altogether, resistance will still have a toll on domestic upgrade sales. Carriers are already pushing against the upgrade cycle -- AT&T is a great example of this. Prior to the launch of the iPhone 4S, AT&T routinely waived the two-year upgrade commitment to allow iPhone users to upgrade after a year, but that is no longer the case. Now users have to wait 20 months to be eligible for an upgrade, tacking eight more months on to the upgrade cycle.
Even worse, the carriers are becoming increasingly more outspoken against subsidies, with some going so far as to blame device subsidies for industry woes. Last month T-Mobile's Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman spoke at the GeekWire Summit in Seattle and lamented the distortion caused by subsidies. Internationally subsidies have been even more unwelcome, with several carriers opting to drop subsidies and others speaking publicly about their sustainability.
In much of the world subsidies are less common, particularly in southern Europe and developing markets like China. Unsurprisingly, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android OS outperforms iOS by a wide margin in these areas, which was recently highlighted by a report from Chinese research firm Analysys International.
As demonstrated by the chart above in just the past year Android has grown significantly, moving from 33.6% of the market in Q1 to 68.4% by the end of Q4. Without subsidies Apple's device is much more expensive than Android competitors and developing consumers are much more sensitive to price. Because Google freely licenses their OS to handset makers, there is a variety of Android devices, including ones specifically targeted for the low-end. Also worth noting is the presence of Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) Symbian OS, which despite losing ground still held a respectable 18.7% of the market in Q4. In developing markets Nokia embraces a low-cost, high-volume approach that is likely one of the reasons for its continuing market share in China.
Nokia is also embracing the low-cost strategy in the US, though it remains to be seen whether its latest attempt puts pricing pressure on other manufacturers. Nokia launched their first high-end Windows Phone and potentially a price war this week, but so far the Lumia 900 hasn't made much of an impact despite its $100 price tag.
Piecyk is right in suggesting a move from subsidies will hurt the iPhone and Apple, but I think he's neglecting other factors in his projected results. A drop in iPhone sales would clearly hurt Apple; the iPhone remains Apple's biggest contributor to net sales by product.
Even with carriers moving to lengthen the upgrade cycle, subsidies still remain. And more importantly, even with its record sales, Apple has yet to reach market saturation and is continuing to add new distribution channels. Just this past year Sprint-Nextel (NYSE: S) locked itself in to buying at least 30.5 million iPhones over the next four years, to the tune of $20 billion. Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse seems happy with the deal, pointing to the big boost in new customers that came with the addition of the iPhone 4S to its product line even after paying $1.7 billion in subsidies during Q4. Smaller U.S. carriers are getting in on the act too, with recent reports pointing to the iPhone being launched April 20 at various regional carriers.
Another big factor is international growth. Apple has made a big push into China, which should offer significant growth. Even though pre-paid phones are the norm in China, companies have experimented with subsidies and post-paid phone plans. China's second largest mobile operator, China Unicom (NYSE: CHU), has subsidized the iPhone for the past three years and competitor China Telecom (NYSE: CHA) has recently begun to do so as well. Subsidies in China are particularly important given that Apple devices are still prohibitively expensive without them.
In the end, there is some merit to Piecyk's position, but I think he's painting an overly grim picture. Apple should fear the loss of subsidies, but it is long-term issue. Apple has also been keeping older models of the iPhone around, priced competitively, so it isn't a stretch for the company to start adopting a two-pronged model with a high-end and low-end offering. That being said, I salute Piecyk for his bold call, but I remain an Apple bull.

I used to have a short part-time position for a picture agency called Photoshot who provide press images for all sorts of news, sports and entertainment events, past and present. Working through external company called Media Storehouse, my job was to select images from the Photoshot archive and upload them to their server where they would be sold as canvas prints, mugs and puzzles.
The images I selected had to have worldwide rights and could be sold for merchandising, which limited the scope of my selection to about 5% interesting/saleable and 95% utter garbage. However according to the Media Storehouse rep this wasn't much of a problem. The company had become infamous for a number of parody reviews of their products on Amazon as any image you uploaded, no matter how banal, was automatically sold on their web store. This had the effect of creating a huge amount of sales for products that seemingly had zero sale value, as users splurged on useless but highly amusing novelty products.
An excellent example includes a Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross (sadly no longer available) which garnered 544 customer reviews averaging 4/5 stars and a Pam St.Clement Canvas Clock (still available!) that is both 'Timeless' and 'An Antique Collectable In The Making'. Conversely, the system of automatically uploading picture content onto the Amazon website had a morbid outcome when images of the Nazi ovens that burned Dachaus's corpses were sold as photo puzzles.
As a part-time position it paid terribly, but I had the pleasure of trawling swathes of archival imagery, something of which would be a blessing for the most ardent of photographic practitioners. I don't want to get sued, but I've posted a couple of images to give you an idea of what I had to sift through to try and sell.

Pre-Note: This story is racy, so please be 13 to read unless you've read racy fanfictions before! In this specific fanfic, Justin is a little more agressive. lol. Enjoy(: Sorry for the long wait.
Justin's POV:
It was our third day in Canada visiting my friends. We were all at my house watching a horror movie. Ryan sat on the king sized chair as Chaz sat on the other side of the couch that Selena and I were on. The house was cold and we all had blankets.
Selena's hand was on my upper thigh, shaking slightly everytime a part came on that made her jump.
"This movie is fuckin' horrifying!" she whispered so only I could hear. She moved her body closer to me.
"It's not that scary, babe." I chuckled, secretly agreeing with her. I kissed her forehead before I felt her hand creep up my leg. I glanced my eyes over to Chaz and Ryan, their eyes glued to the screen. My eyes turned to Selena who had a slight smirk forming on her face.
I turned back to the movie before my thoughts stopped as I felt Selena's warm hands rubbing my dick. My first instinct was to moan loudly, but that was obviously out of the question considering our location. I took in a long deep breath as she continued to move her hand up and down. She stopped for a split second before starting again, this time faster. I bit my lip to keep from moaning as her hands worked their magic.
Selena's POV:
"You really hate me, don't you?" he smiled, waking up behind me in the kitchen.
"I don't know what you're talking about, love." I teased as he wrapped his arms around me, kissing my neck softly.
He glanced at me and then to the living room, making sure Chaz and Ryan couldn't see us in the kitchen. He shook his head lightly and kissed me on the lips. After we pulled away he smirked,
"Payback's a bitch." he than winked before walking out of the kitchen.
Selena's POV:
"Now why are you here?" he asked, my hands tied to the bed and my eyes blindfolded. I felt Justin's cold hands on my bare stomach before I replied,
"Because I touched you inappropriately in public?"
"Exactly. And now that you touched me…" he trailed off, moving his hands from my stomach down to my lower half. I took in a breath. "But why am I tied?"
He kissed my thighs before explaining. "I wasn't aloud to cum or touch you, and so now we're even."
I bit my lip, understanding the "rules." This could be fun. Right?
Selena's POV:
"Justin, please?" I begged, out of breath. His three large fingers pumping in and out of me, rhythmically moving with my hips. He increased his speed, twisting his wrist back and forth each thrust. I couldn't take it anymore. "Baby?"
"Not yet." he warned, a slight smirk in his voice.
"Oh my god, I'm gonna cum." I yelled, grabbing onto the sheets.
"Have you learned your lesson?" he asked, his fingers thrusting deeper into me. I let out a moan as I whispered,
"Are you sure?" he teased, fingers still gliding into me. I nodded my head as he started going faster than before, leaving me with no choice. A gush of warm fluid spread over his hand.
"Oh-" I trailed off, my chest rising to what felt like the ceiling. He took of my blindfold before smiling at me. He kissed my lips and put his fingers in my mouth, letting me taste my own juices.
"I let you off easy." he said, taking his hands out of my mouth and wiping them on the bedsheets.
"That was torture." I sighed, a smile forming on my lips. He laid down by me and kissed my forehead.
"But it was different. You need to experience new things every once in a while."
"New things are nice, just let me orgasm next time without your approval." I laughed, moving my body closer to his.
He sighed, "Deal."
Note: Sorry if it moves around too much. I really suck at writing racy stories-so bear with it! I hope you enjoyed even if it sucked, haha. Likes/Messages/More Requests?(:

Faith's Checkbook - February 17
February 17
God Can Make You Strong
"Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded" (2 Chronicles 15:7).
God had done great things for King Asa and Judah, but yet they were a feeble folk. Their feet were very tottering in the ways of the LORD, and their hearts very hesitating, so that they had to be warned that the LORD would be with them while they were with Him, but that if they forsook Him He would leave them. They were also reminded of the sister kingdom, how ill it fared in its rebellion and how the LORD was gracious to it when repentance was shown. The LORD's design was to confirm them in His way and make them strong in righteousness. So ought it to be with us. God deserves to be served with all the energy of which we are capable.
If the service of God is worth anything, it is worth everything. We shall find our best reward in the LORD's work if we do it with determined diligence. Our labor is not in vain in the LORD, and we know it. Halfhearted work will bring no reward; but when we throw our whole soul into the cause, we shall see prosperity. This text was sent to the author of these notes in a day of terrible storm, and it suggested to him to put on all steam, with the assurance of reaching port in safety with a glorious freight.

@ February 25, 2013 7:03 PM in Freeze damageThanks for the responses! I apologize if the question wasn't clear. I just was hoping to get a better understanding on what should be done in order to fix the burst pipes and radiators.
One more question. Who is liable to pay for the damages? The situation was obviously out of my hands. The Contractor should have drained the radiators if the heat was not going to be working.
Freeze damage
@ February 22, 2013 5:31 PM in Freeze damageI own an investment property that is currently vacant and under renovation. I have hired a contractor to take care of all the work, which started about 6 weeks ago.
A couple weeks ago, the heat went out. It got very cold in the building, and multiple radiators blew and also pipes. The water valve was shut off, because the crew was not using the water. By the looks of it, there are about four pipes blown and five radiators. The house is still frozen and the heat obviously isn't working.
My contractor has been very helpful up to this point, but I am quite frustrated with the current situation. He plans on replacing the broken pipes and radiators. Is fixing the broken pieces a feasible solution to the problem? Or is it likely the boiler (octopus) may be shot? Also, I have heard that such damage could cause leakage throughout the house. It is an old house, so the pipes are all visible.
Let me know if this seems to be the correct, easy fix please. Or will we potentially run into a bigger problem?

(WMC-TV) - Horn Lake police are still investigating the death of an 11-year-old found in his home last week, but they still have not released how he died.
Family members fear he may have been abused.
Rebecca Gaines is related to the boy's family. She identified him as Tyler Raines and but says she has not seen him since his biological father got custody several years ago.
"He ends up getting custody, and when he did he quit letting the extended, I guess is the better word, family, see them at all," said Gaines.
Horn Lake police says the boy was found at the home. Gaines said her family members saw the child's body at the funeral home and are having trouble forgetting those images.
"She told me that it looked like he had two black eyes, and she said it looked like he had cigarette burns on his face, and she said his arms looked like they had been branded," said Gaines.
Detectives would not comment on the condition of the body or the allegations of abuse. No one answered when Action News knocked at the family's door for a comment.

Reimbursing the future: an evaluation of motivational, voluntary, price-based, property-right, and regulatory incentives for the conservation of biodiversity
Biodiversity Series, Paper No. 9
M.D. Young, N. Gunningham, J. Elix, J. Lambert, B. Howard, P. Grabosky and E. McCrone
CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology, the Australian Centre for Environmental Law, and Community Solutions
Biodiversity Unit, Department of the Environment, Sport and Territories, 1996
Project brief and methodology
The project brief
The core components of the project brief required that the project team:
- undertake a comprehensive review of the relevant literature;
- identify a set of broad objectives for:
- integrated planning for the conservation of biodiversity and ecologically sustainable use of its components "at different spatial scales (especially the bioregional scale)"
- conservation and protection of biodiversity
- ecologically sustainable management of bio-resources and biodiversity components
- the management and control of threatening processes;
- identify specific barriers and opportunities and target groups;
- develop evaluation criteria;
- develop a list of economic and social incentive types;
- assess the incentive instrument types against specified evaluation criteria;
- provide a comprehensive bibliography.
The terms of reference for an additional module which focussed on ecotourism were very similar, with the obvious need to focus on the impact of ecotourism and its possible benefits to the protection of biodiversity. During discussions the project's Steering Committee stressed the importance of demonstrating the relevance of the evaluation criteria and using these to develop operational recommendations which have practical application.
The three members of the core project team – CSIRO, ANU's Centre for Environment Law and Community Solutions – each took responsibility for a discrete part of the project, bringing together the results of their work to develop guiding principles, opportunities for future action and recommendations. Throughout the project, periodic meetings were held with a Steering Committee comprised of public servants from Commonwealth and State agencies charged with responsibility for nature conservation and biodiversity policy. The purpose of these meetings was to refine and, where appropriate, revise the project's direction. The Steering Committee also provided detailed portfolio comment on a draft of the report arising from this consultancy.
In the initial stages of the project, two roundtable meetings of stakeholder groups discussed the project brief and gave input into how it should be fulfilled. In setting up those forums, key stakeholder groups from the various resource use sectors, non-government conservation organisations and state conservation agencies were invited to participate, together with the project Steering Committee and project team members.
An extensive literature review was undertaken, canvassing material from national and international sources. The OECD and other institutions and individuals known by the project team members to have a professional interest in biodiversity issues were sent requests for relevant information. Specific questions were also placed on various Bulletin Boards in the World Wide Web, and standard literature searches were conducted across a range of academic and scientific databases. A summary of materials received was collated to provide an initial literature review which was also circulated to a wide range of interested individuals and organisations for comment, including some who participated in the various consultative forums. Project team leader, Mike Young also visited Unesco's Man and the Biosphere program and the IUCN's World Conservation Union Secretariat to the Convention on Biological Diversity to discuss the issues with staff in those locations. The literature review resulting from this process is published as part of the final report.
A community consultation process was undertaken. Ten general consultative workshops and three workshops which focussed on the ecotourism module were held across the country. Details of the methodology used in setting up and conducting those forums is presented in Chapter 3.
The diversity of interests, the distances involved and the resultant costs, as well as the time available, all set boundaries on the consultation processes. The views canvassed were neither comprehensive nor representative of views across the whole of Australia. However, they provide 'snapshots' of views in different sectors of the community, both rural and urban, and reflect views from some of the diversity of land managers in Australia.
Initially, our contract required three case studies, however, following discussions with the Steering Committee, the Department of the Environment, Sport and Territories and the Department of Tourism, the proposed wheat-sheep belt case study was split into two and three additional case studies with an emphasis on ecotourism were undertaken. In total seven case studies were undertaken, each focussing on a particular social and geographic location which highlighted issues of concern to the project team. All case studies were treated equally and used as a platform against which recommendations were tested and developed. Personal experience of project team members was supplemented through literature review and close consultation with people living and working in the areas under study. The extent of this consultation can be assessed from the acknowledgments at the end of each case study report. Consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in both the case studies and the consultation workshops was constrained by the available budget, distance, time and cultural differences. We understand, however, that separate processes are underway to close this gap.
Throughout the project, the team discussed issues extensively with those who are charged with the task of protection and management of biodiversity. Consideration was also given to the fact that in many cases the processes they seek to manage are poorly understood.
The project team also made detailed assessments of various institutional and legislative models. They gave detailed consideration to the role of community and industry initiatives and to the scope of co-operative and co-management models involving both local communities and governments at all levels. Particular attention was also paid to more flexible and constructive legislative approaches, and in particular to means of providing for ongoing positive protection of biodiversity on private land, in conjunction with prohibitions.
Following the compilation of the above material, discussion and analysis was directed to the identification of principles which the literature review, consultations and case studies have demonstrated. A number of guiding principles were established, based on principles of ecological sustainability, and consistent with the directions of the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity.
From these, discussion and work focussed on the opportunities that can be enhanced for governments, industry and community groups to protect biodiversity and ensure its sustainable use.

Sometimes simple is better. At least that is what the Utah men's basketball team hopes.
After suffering four losses in a row, the Utes (8-8, 0-4 Pac-12) are tweaking their offensive philosophy to make it less complicated in hopes Utah's players will stop overthinking and just play instinctively.
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said he came to the conclusion something needed to be done following Saturday's 76-59 loss to USC.
"We had three close games to start conference play and there is a tendency to think about some of the little things where one play might make a difference," he said Monday. "But then we get our butt whooped by USC and going home Saturday I started thinking about the big picture and the things we need to do to get back to the bigger picture. We have some thoughts and we are going to simplify things for our guys. We want to ease up in terms of what we are running and go ask them to make plays and hopefully gain confidence through that."
Krystkowiak followed through with his plan during individual player meetings on Monday.
"I don't want them to think if they make a mistake they are going to get yanked out of the game, but at the same time, they have to make plays to stay in the game," he said. "It is, 'What do I need to do for you Justin Seymour, Jason Washburn, to make this easier for you?' We want to be on the same page and let them know what it is we need to do."
One thing the Utes need to do is improve their starts.
"Sometimes I think we have to come out and get punched in the mouth first and it takes a while to wake up," Krystkowiak said. "We have to have the right mindset coming out of the locker room."
Washburn said the players had their own meeting but it didn't help in Saturday's effort.
"We used the term 'getting punked,' he said. "We're getting punked right out of the gate and it's disappointing as players. We had that discussion as players and we came out Saturday afternoon and it happened again. It's frustrating and it takes the wind out of our sails when you know what the problem is and you still let it happen."
Saturday's loss clearly was the most disheartening of the season for the Utes. The lopsided result wasn't enough to save USC coach Kevin O'Neill's job — he was fired Monday. The Trojans were 48-65 in his four years and 7-10 this season.
Krystkowiak said he'd just heard about the firing right before his press conference Monday.
"I'm a long way from L.A. to comment about what is going on there," he said.
His concern is more immediate, namely getting his team its first league win. The Utes play at Washington State on Wednesday and at Washington on Saturday. He hopes simplifying the offense and the individual meetings will help Utah turn around its season.
"It's important we communicate and have them come in individually and we're open for suggestions and we want to give them our input," he said. "After that, there isn't a whole lot of time for talk in the next couple of months. We have to get busy thinking about more action and less talking."

Holden Beach police officers investigated the following incidents and made the following arrests last week. All information is taken directly from incident and arrest reports.
•Christopher Michael Long, 33, of 1051 Stone Chimney Road, Supply; charged with driving while impaired, no insurance and reckless driving.
•Larceny on Ocean Boulevard West; suspect stole victim's bike.
•Larceny on Ocean Boulevard West; suspect stole three skimboards.
•Burglary on Brunswick Avenue West; suspect damaged victim's door casing.
Agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit arrested four suspects after executing a search warrant last Thursday.
Agents seized 14 grams of cocaine and $1,904 from a home on Sunnybrook Way in Leland after a month-long investigation.
The following individuals were charged:
SUNSET BEACH—Police investigated a jewelry theft reported May 23.
A diamond ring with five birthstones and a blue topaz ring were reported stolen from a home on Egret Drive.
Credit card fraud was reported May 27. The victim said someone used his credit card without permission in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Other reported incidents included:
•A license plate was reported stolen May 27 from a vehicle in a parking lot at 1601 Seaside Road.
•10-mg hydrocodone tablets were reported stolen May 21 from Walgreens.
SUPPLY—The registered nursing program implemented in 2005 at Brunswick Community College may have graduated 40 students in its first class, but only 23—58 percent— passed the NCLEX, the licensing test required for registered nurses.
Students attending Brunswick County Schools will have to dig out a few more coins for breakfast and lunch next year as meal prices are set to increase.
The Brunswick County Board of Education voted Tuesday night to increase meal prices for the 2008-2009 school year.
Breakfast in all schools will cost $1.10, an increase of 10 cents. Lunch in the elementary schools will cost $1.70, a 10-cent increase; middle school lunch will cost $1.85, a 15-cent increase; and lunch in the high schools will cost $2, a 20-cent increase.
SHALLOTTE—When fifth grade Union Elementary School teacher Ginny Pridgen agreed to dye her hair pink if all of her 50 students passed the math portion of the End of Grade tests, she never thought she'd have to make due on her end of the bargain.
Pridgen began preparing about 50 students for the math EOGs in March several months after the fifth-grade math teacher went on maternity leave.
HOLDEN BEACH—The Holden Beach Public Area Improvement Committee recommended the town install two bait boards on the pier in the public fishing area of Jordan Boulevard during its meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The cutting boards will each have a hole in the center.
"My husband is a fisherman, and he said, 'Design two cutting boards with a hole in it so they can scrape bait scraps into the water,'" said Carol Moneypenny, who co-chairs the committee.
SHALLOTTE—Joyce Gause of Shallotte has finally realized a near lifelong dream.
The IRS recently approved her prison ministry, Evangelistic Outreach Ministries, to operate as a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization.
Since her call to prison ministry more than 12 years ago, Gause has prayed with, counseled, clothed and fed hundreds of inmates and former convicts, all from the goodness of heart and pocketbook.

The 3.2 mile Gravina Island "Highway" opened in September 2008 and construction began in June 2007. This road goes from Ketchikan's airport on Gravina Island to a beach with a few cabins nearby, the location where the proposed, now-cancelled Gravina Bridge to Nowhere would have reached Gravina Island after crossing Tongass Narrows .
The project cost approximately $28 million (or nearly $9 million per mile) and was paid for by a $48 million federal earmark not removed by Congress in November 2005 when it cancelled the $223 million Gravina Bridge earmark (the State of Alaska still received the money for transportation projects). For more information, see this story from the Los Angeles Times, September 19, 2008.

By Leah February 23, 2008 - 3:24 am
Oh yes, are there anymore? Too bad those as well as his wedding pictures can't be found on google like Mac's can. Darn his wife for being so smart, lol.Reply
By Lauren T. February 23, 2008 - 3:54 pm
Surely they're available online somewhere. The pics are great, and I'm certain the photographer would want to show them off. I do not know the name of the photographer/studio, though.Reply
By Leah February 23, 2008 - 6:00 pm
You think you could send them my way, if it's not too much trouble? My friend loves Kelly and she wants to see the rest of them, as do I. Thanks.
intricatedx @ gmail.com
I'm sure they are online somewhere, but I've not yet been able to find them when searching.Reply
By Linda C. February 24, 2008 - 3:18 am
The engagement photos are posted on the photographers website ; however, I can't remember his name.
Could you encourage Chop Talk to do an article on the McCann and Johnson weddings~~~such as they did on Jeff?Reply
By Lauren T. February 24, 2008 - 3:59 am
Based on the writeups on Jeff's wedding vs. Brian's and Kelly's, it looks like Chop Talk wasn't invited. Kelly's was an especially small gathering, with only 100 reported guests. He does seem more private (insofar as the media is concerned) than Jeff.Reply
By linda February 27, 2008 - 5:56 am
go to http://www.ledfordphotography.com for photos of Kelly and Lauren Johnson's wedding and engagement.Reply
Great pictures and a beautiful wedding and reception.
By Rachel March 5, 2008 - 5:15 pm
WOW! That wedding slideshow on the blog made me cry!!! http://www.ledfordphotography.blogspot.com
I have an awesome Idea. Lauren, what id you emailed the photographer and asked for an interview or something? Just what it was like to take pictures of L&K! Am I the only one that thinks that would be awesome!
Dang – I live in Atlanta, she must be around here somewhere, after seeing those I want to hire them to take pictures of me! hehe
Photographed by Kelly Johnson's photographer! That would SOOOOOO rock!Reply
By Lauren T. March 6, 2008 - 4:11 am
Rachel, I had someone else suggest an interview with the photographer. I have a feeling their wedding was intended to be a private affair — if you read some of the printed articles, there were only 100 guests invited, and Chop Talk didn't even do a photo spread. I'd rather not intrude on their privacy. :/Reply
By Rachel March 8, 2008 - 3:40 pm
Ok just for giggles I emailed the photographer and she emailed me back this morning. She said that due to spring training everything has been slowed a bit but they were planning on submitting images to certain magazines. Does that mean we should try and scoop an interview with her?
I'm pretty excited, can anyone tell? lolReply
By McCann Can Triple March 19, 2011 - 6:29 pm
I was so upset when chop talk was canceled. I didn't know you would have to pay for the new mag…. I don't know if I am. I loved chop talk for the articles about the player's home life and family and the interviews.Reply

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great product and fast shipping
We do. Wedding Program Fans I was worried about this not making in time so I originally chatted with an online associate before order and to my surprise it was shipped and completed a week earlier than I anticipated. the product itself is a great quality and a big size, too! I for some reason was worried it would be smaller than what I originally measured it to be. Saved me a ton of time ordered. I loved that there were so many choices. Great product! It really is a high quality print too! Would order again, however, I only plan on getting married once. :D
Beautiful Hand Fan
Romantic Ruche Wedding Program Fans I had an idea of what I wanted for this wedding but the website was a great help. It was easy to personalize with the colors and fonts. The quality was the best. The samples I received helped me with my decision. I know everyone liked the hand fan because pictures were taken of it for the bride.

Elmobo! Yay!
I'm sorry, Cass. That must have really sucked. I imagine that there is probably nothing much you could do in that situation. From what I gather, it's better to keep your head down and not make a fuss, right? And complaining about anything is probably really frowned upon. Do you think all of this was just plain carelessness? Or do you think there is some campaign against him?
It must be hard to be the new kids, but you would think they would be so used to people coming and going, they would have some kind of program (besides the All Hail and Farewell) to make sure new people are actually welcomed and assimilated, besides giving them crappy jobs and not talking to them at events. That seems like it would be better for morale.
I moved, on average, every 6 months as a kid until I was in high school, even though my family wasn't military. So I know what it's like to always be the new kid. It's not fun. And I know how people can either be welcoming or not. It makes a huge difference.

If you're like millions of other American women, you own a pair of TOMS. And if you do, good for you!
TOMS was founded on a truly fabulous concept -- for every pair of TOMS shoes you buy, the company gives a new pair of shoes to a child in need. That alone makes a pair of TOMS worth the price. But I'll be honest -- initially, I thought women were buying them as a good deed ... sacrificing style in order to help provide shoes for the poor.
It turns out that I was wrong.
"Omigod, I just LOVE your TOMS!" I've been overhearing women squeal to each other more and more often lately. This wouldn't be all that surprising if these women were wearing clothing made of hemp and standing in an aisle at Whole Foods. However, from what I'm seeing, many of the latest TOMS fans are SUV-driving, meat-eating, Estee Lauder-wearing 'assisted blondes' -- the kind who probably think 'Vegan' is a celebrity baby name.
Yes, TOMS shoes have gone mainstream. They're, like, a thing. TOMS shoes have actually become *shudder* fashionable -- and to me, the fact that canvas man slippers are now considered to be stylish is an obvious sign of the End Times.
To me, TOMS are like Crocs with a conscience. And while I don't know very many moms who would agree to wear Crocs in public (although let it be known, I'm a HUGE fan of Crocs for kids), every woman's GOTTA have a pair of TOMS right now. And I'm betting that more than half of them don't even know or care about the company's background.
Understand I'm not ragging on you if you have a pair of TOMS. Seriously. Every woman I know has a pair of TOMS. I realize I'm in the minority here. I would just like to know WHY you love your TOMS. Do you really think they look great? Or are you just wearing them because they're comfortable and it's all for a good cause?
Image via TOMS
I am not impressed at all. There are BOBS for kids. They are made by Sketchers and the look about the same as the TOMS. My 3 year old daughter picked them out, mostly because they were pink and shimmery, but she won't actually wear them. They are stiff and uncomfortable. I love the concept, I hate the shoes.
So what?? Toms is a great cause. For each pair you buy, they donate a pair to child in need.

Score from 50 reviews Good
Location is good, friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious and clean. I would stay here again and recommend to friends.
There is no outside veranda or terrace to sit out and have a nice cold beer.
The location of the hotel. The breakfast was excellent.
They first gave us key for a room that was occupied. I had family members on a different floor and couldn't go to there room because of the security feature.
Location and breakfast are very good.
The room has a slight smoky smell although there is a smoke sensor.
Great location for travel. Great Wi-Fi connection. Already booking my next stay.
Love the security measures used at the hotel...
Didn't like their continental breakfast... the price I got on bookibg wasn't thw price I paid... 2x the staff knocked on my door rwmindjng me about checkout and I had an hour and a half left
The hotel cancelled our reservation with no reason. So we had to leave to find another place.
The staff were amazing and was very informative. We checked in early and they accepted the book in rate after we presented the reservation confirmation email. The breakfast was amazing.
The ice dispenser was not working. No effort was made to rectify the situation.
the location and front desk staff .
the hot breakfast is a joke ,Why put together if it is not all inclusive .this is not good for guest
It is near a shopping mall and many restaurants.
The floors in the hallway were dirty.
Location and cleanliness Enough parking space
Needs a wider choice in buffet area Needs some plants in Lobby area
The rooms were clean and bright, free parking seemed secure enough. Free breakfast was very basic but we've got what we paid for :)
The stuff made the keys work only 1 day despite we were staying for 2. The same happened to payment - they took our time at checkout figuring out why only 1 night out of 2 was paid for. The pool had very dirty green water, no one risked to swim.
very nice, modern and new hotel. contemporary style
basic breakfast was quite poor. i wouldn't gave it 4* when compared with other 4* hotels.
The location, breakfast, the view offered, its cosy and the discount offered for the next visit.
Incoordination in the cleaning of the room.
Hotel is clean and new facilities.
Hotel does not respect respect reservation from online sites. I reserved 2 rooms and got comfirmation email. But upon arrival receptionist found reservation for 1 room only and at a higher price.
All was a good experience
Very clean and modern and good wifi, comfortable beds and great buffet breakfast
Not a huge amount to do around chetumal.
The rooms are very IKEA style basic, not fussy but more than sufficient as a place to just rest your head at night.
Did not like the breakfast offerings.

The Mind, and How it Reincarnates
I was in Hong Kong last week. While there, I gave a talk to a small intelligent group on the MIND, how it reincarnates. Also on the qualities of the Buddha form and the reasons we make Buddha statues. This talk has been recorded and edited by Pastor Loh Seng Piow. And I thank him for this.
I do hope you will gain some knowledge from this talk.
Much Care,

Perfect! My bridesmaids tried on this dress yesterday and they all looked wonderful in it! They range in sizes from 8 to 20, and it flattered everyone. This dress can be worn more than once as well, so it is worth the money. Our wedding is a country rustic theme at a barn, and we have a lot of lace incorporated in decorations, so this dress was absolutely perfect. September 14, 2014
Awesome! All my bridesmaids really like this dress and felt that it was dressy enough and comfortable. I just wish that it came in more colors. August 11, 2014
Fell in love at first sight My wedding dress has some lace incorporated into it and this dress matches perfectly. It brings everything together and makes it all so cohesive. I love it on my girls and it looks great on all body types. It is definitely worth trying on and something the ladies can wear again! August 9, 2014
The Winner My bridesmaid's decided on this dress yesterday. It looked good on everyone. so perfect for my wedding- the lace really makes it, other dresses seemed like they were missing something after they tried these on. Everyone felt comfortable in them. July 18, 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (Season 2)
Against better judgement, but totally worth it, I stayed up very late last night after discovering this little gem from Jerry Seinfeld. Am I just late to the party? Is there a reason I've not heard of this internet show before? Because it's pretty damn great. "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" pits Seinfeld and some other famous funny face together to just shoot the bull (most often to hilarious results) while driving to some small cafe or diner for coffee.
It's a great concept. Fans of Britain's "The Trip" may find some similarities here; though this has rotating characters and a much less scripted feel. Season one (I'm almost finished) was a ball. Michael Richards talking about losing to a bum in chess. Ricky Gervais fearing for his life. Alec Baldwin telling Jerry where and why his career is where it's at. Carl Reiner perpetuating alcoholism. It's all here and it's all gold. And it's all Free!
Each episode is between ten and seventeen minutes so it's easy to whip through a season in one evening. Which I already did. So that's why I'm excited about season 2, which starts tomorrow! Looks like it has even bigger names and bigger laughs – watching Chris Rock and Seinfeld getting pulled over should be a treat. The trailer for season 2 is below. Why is no one talking about this?

Yeah, I enjoy these. Glad to see he's continuing with them too!
Yeah, I didn't really like this. Way too much navel gazing and the heavily produced nature of the show gives it a very weird, almost fake and out dated vibe to the show.
I'll gladly just keep listening to Maron who does this thing far better. Maybe I shouldn't compare the two, but I really can't help it.
Well, obviously Maron blows this away if you're comparing, but I think also that the intentions are different. This isn't meant to be long-form either.
I guess my issue is I don't have any clear idea what the intentions of this show truly are.
It's pretty clearly a car commercial, and it's a lot of Seinfeld getting paid to hang out with his friends by way of a completely disigenuous setup. But I'm not seeing a lot of actual meaningful conversation and the laughs aren't anything special. It's nothing greater than what you'd see on The Tonight Show.
The show is just really empty and seems more interested in getting something online (because that's the future!) but rather than focus on content it is more concerned with writing a show to fit a sponsor.
Seinfeld has more resources and talent then probably anyone right now, he should be aiming for something higher than rote. Hell, he should be ashamed that's all this is.
Watched all of Season 1 last night in a single sitting. I got many huge belly laughs from the first 5 episodes, then it sort of petered off. The 'classic car' thing is a tad forced, as is the narration of the title, but the conversations and foibles of Jerry & Friends is pretty funny. I love that he got MST3K's Joel onto the show among many of the much more famous guests.
Of course, Alec Baldwin is suave and awesome, "We're going to have to leave this waitress a $1000 tip…"
When i first saw the title, I read it as "Canadians in Cars Getting Coffee," which would have been so much better.

The U.S. suffers from staggering economic inequality — as staggering, in some places, as Nigeria, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. Richard Florida ran the numbers and compared cities in the U.S. to highly unequal foreign countries. That colorful map might look pretty, but its implications for U.S. income inequality are not.
With so much space, so few options — Detroit's vast vacant lots are a burden
If vacant lots were painted red, an aerial view of Detroit would look like a bad case of the measles. There is so much empty land today within Detroit's 139 square miles — land slowly returning to nature with no buildings — the city of Paris could fit inside. If all that land were gathered into football fields, Detroit could host 25,000 simultaneous games.

some of the HOTTEST bartenders in NYC - straight??
Splash has some of the hottest bartenders in NYC - especially the guys who work the downstairs bar. Many nights they work in their underwear. Too bad they are straight right? Drinks are pricey here - but that's the case all over NYC. The bar gets really crowded. Great music and dance floor too if you're looking for dancing.
By: Luke on February 15, 2010
I miss the old splash
I miss the old Splash. I'm in New York about once a month - and I've been to Splash many times since their renovation (which was maybe six years ago) - but I still miss the Old Splash - where there were showers up on a walkway and a dark bar to the left - with the dance floor to the right. Oh well. I guess the downstairs is supposed to make up for our loss of the dark bar upstairs - but it's not quite the same. Overall - still a good club for dancing - and obviously I continue to go.
By: bryan on February 15, 2010
Always a safe bet
Splash is always a safe bet. The nights that the club brings in the big name DJs or entertainers the place gets packed. Great dance club - and the dance floor gets packed with all kinds of rubbing and grinding going on.

5 Health Care Stocks Ready to Break Out
We're seeing the exact same setup taking place in shares of mid-cap drug maker Covance (CVD). Just like Becton, Covance has been trending in an uptrending channel since back in November, bouncing off of trend line support three times since then. Now shares are testing bounce number-four.
I mentioned earlier that the ideal time to buy an uptrending channel trade is on the bounce off of support, and Covance is a textbook example of a low-risk entry. Shares pushed right off of that uptrend line in yesterday's session, and if we see continuation today it makes sense to be a buyer.
All of that said, contingency plans are important even in textbook trades. That's why I'd recommend keeping a protective stop right at the 50-day moving average.

The Unexpected Effects of Caps on Non-Economic Damages
AbstractWe study the economic and legal implications of the enactment of caps on noneconomic damages on parties in conflict who know that state supreme courts may strike down the caps as unconstitutional within a few years of enactment. We develop a simple screening model where parties have symmetric expectations regarding the probability of a strike down and asymmetric information regarding plaintiff's non-economic harm. Our model makes several surprising predictions: First, caps may increase the length of resolution of disputes if the caps are low enough or the probability of a strike down is large enough. Second, although caps always increase the percentage of disputes that are settled out of courts, they do not necessarily save litigation expenses. Third, while caps always reduce the recoveries of plaintiffs with large claims, caps may increase recoveries of plaintiffs with low claims compared to their recoveries in states with no caps. We conclude that to increase welfare legislators have to tailor caps to the economic and constitutional circumstances in their state in ways which we characterize in the paper.

War Is Over of the Day: After nearly nine years of bloodshed, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared the US war in Iraq to be over.
The announcement was made during a symbolic ceremony which saw the lowing of the American flag in Baghdad.
"After a lot of blood spilled by Iraqis and Americans, the mission of an Iraq that could govern and secure itself has become real," Panetta said. "To be sure, the cost was high — in blood and treasure for the United States, and for the Iraqi people. Those lives were not lost in vain."
Of the 1.5 million US troops who served in Iraq over the years, just under 4,500 were killed in action. As many as 30,000 were wounded. Scores of soldiers from other coalition countries lost their lives as well.
On the Iraqi side, over 16,000 members of the Iraqi Security Forces died. Tens of thousands more were wounded.
The exact number of Iraqi civilians killed or wounded during the war may never be known, but is believed extremely high.
Though December 15th will be henceforth mark the end of the Iraq War, some 15,000 people will remain behind to operate the US embassy, making it the largest of its kind in the world.
