Duplin County
No. 00 CVD 979
Thompson & Mikitka, P.C., by Susan Collins Mikitka, for
Fredric C. Hall for defendant-appellant.
TIMMONS-GOODSON, Judge.
The Town of Warsaw, North Carolina (plaintiff or the town), filed the present action against resident, Angelia Rodriguez (defendant), based upon her failure to comply with plaintiff's Zoning Ordinance 8.8, governing R-8 Residential Districts.
In April 2000, defendant applied for and received a building permit to construct a garage on her property. Defendant subsequently built a structure which she used to shelter four horses. Based upon complaints from defendant's neighbors, plaintiff notified defendant that she was violating Town of Warsaw Ordinance 8-2002, prohibiting those within the town's corporatelimits from maintaining any hog pen, keeping any hogs, cows, chickens or ponies. Believing that defendant's action was more appropriately classified as a property use violation, plaintiff later notified defendant that she was in violation of Zoning Ordinance 8.8 and requested that she remove the horses.
Defendant's refusal to cease the nonconforming use prompted plaintiff to file for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. Plaintiff moved for summary judgment, and the trial court granted plaintiff's motion in its order of 13 June 2001. From this order, defendant now appeals.

YES! But besides someone who can challenge him, I think Peter's also looking for someone he respects.
I always think back to how Peter just bites Scott without even asking or anything, but it's different when it comes to Stiles. Peter not only asks Stiles if he wants the bite, but when Stiles refuses, Peter respects that decision (even though he's visibly pissed).
Peter must have scoped out Stiles before they actually made first contact on the lacrosse field, and he'd probably decided ahead of time that this fragile, waifish boy wouldn't be worth a second thought. But then he realizes just how smart and clever Stiles is, how Stiles' anticipation of people underestimating him is actually a strength, how loyal and determined and fearless he is, etc.
Sometimes, I wonder if Peter had intended to kill Stiles after he got the information he needed that night on the lacrosse field, but then Stiles was so intriguing and confusing and surprising and weird and what the actual fuckkkk, Peter can't remember the last time he dealt with a human or werewolf so unpredictable and fascinating.

"report cards," to the incentives driving doctors within health plans, to financial solvency information involving a plan, to disenrollment rates in a given area. Beneficiaries need to understand a plan's responsibilities and their rights as members—not only their rights to appeal decisions but also their rights to access to quality care in a timely manner.
Furthermore, although plans may provide a wide range of information, they may not be providing comprehensive information. In other words, they may not elaborate on areas that are often open for interpretation by the consumer. For example, in the California marketplace, officials are concerned that plans are not providing enough information to members regarding what exactly constitutes emergency care, how much coverage enrollees can expect when they seek care outside of an area covered by their plan (if they need care when traveling), and under what circumstances enrollees can negotiate referrals to specialists. 28
There are questions regarding just how much information consumers need. Some consumer advocates argue for the provision of data on the satisfaction of people who have been involved in a grievance process or the satisfaction rates for those who suffered major medical illnesses. Others argue for consumer information on profits or compensation for chief executive officers. Although some say that this level of information could be irrelevant and overwhelming for the consumer, others argue that interested consumers are capable of processing this kind of information (Rodwin, 1996). Medicare consumers want, need, and have a right to a variety of information. If consumers do not understand some of the information provided, insurance counseling groups, such as the ones operated by United Seniors Health Cooperative, can help them understand and interpret it.29
Other areas of disclosure involve the performance of a health plan in terms of both quality and service. Although plans generally provide extensive information on covered benefits, costs, and required copayments, little information is available to con-

Via: Computerworld | News Archive | Tags: Microsoft, OEM, touch, IDC, Windows 8, PC market, W8
As a (in the near future) laptop buyer I'm looking for one with Win-7 on it and if I ~have~ to buy one with Win-8, I'll probably change it over to Win-7 anyways.
I'm totally against touch on a Lappy. It's fine on my Tablet and Smartphone though.
If touch was REALLY vastly superior to mouse input, people would gladly pay a premium for it. But the truth of the matter is that touch on a PC is about as useful as teats on a boar hog. Actually, less useful. Does Microsoft really expect 100 million CAD/CAM designers, accountants, and other industrial content makers to hold their arms up horizontally all day inaccurately poking smudges on their 42" monitors with their fat fingers, working at 1/100th the speed as before Windows 8 with 1000 times the physical effort, in the mean time destroying their necks and shoulder girdles for life?
Touch is an extremely low bandwidth input method with horrendous inaccuracy and extremely harmful ergonomics when compared to a keyboard and mouse. Touch might be ok for looking up the latest cat video, or tweeting, texting, or talking, but that's about it.
It would be foolish to pay a large premium for such a useless "feature", and with most consumers not being fools, they've elected to forego paying a premium for such foolishness.
Touch is largely irrelevant to the vast majority of laptop buyers. Windows 8 even more so. Every week I have several people coming to me in order to 'fix' it (make it behave in a way they understand and want) and that generally involves downgrading to 7, or at the least installing one of the classic shell type apps that get rid of that STUPID start screen and bring back a 'real' start button, not the bastardized one that will appear with 8.1.
People HATE 8 and its incredible to me that MS f'ed things up so badly.

A selection of health policy news from Minnesota, Georgia, Colorado, Montana, Texas, Florida and Connecticut.
MPR: PCA Pay Disparity Unconstitutional, Rules Minn. Appeals Court
The state's effort to reduce pay for some personal care attendants has hit a snag. The Minnesota Appeals Court ruled Monday that the state's attempt to pay PCAs who care for relatives 20 percent less than other personal care attendants is unconstitutional. "They have the same training, they have the same experience, they're limited to the same number of maximum hours," said attorney David Bradley Olsen, who represents 11 agencies and several personal care assistants who sued over the matter. ... PCA's are often parents or grandparents who care for an adult child or relative for $10 an hour, Olsen said (Aslanian, 12/17).
The Associated Press: CO Gov. Wants $18.5M To Expand Mental Health Care
Gov. John Hickenlooper is asking Colorado lawmakers for $18.5 million to expand mental health services, including opening five urgent care mental health centers, as a response to this summer's mass shooting at an Aurora theater. The governor's office said Monday that the services Hickenlooper and state health officials are proposing are aimed at redesigning and strengthening Colorado's system for taking care of the mentally ill, an issue that has received more attention in the wake of the July's shootings (Moreno, 12/17).
Modern Healthcare: Seeking Data Access And Lower Costs, Ga. Health Systems To Launch Insurance Plan
Two Georgia health systems will enter the insurance market in a bid for greater control over patients' medical data and benefits design. Executives said the move is necessary to better coordinate care. Piedmont Healthcare in Atlanta and WellStar Health System in Marietta said they agreed to launch a health plan in about a year. The venture continues a string of deals pairing insurers with providers as the industry reacts to policy changes that are expected to payments to hospitals and physicians and increase financial incentives for lower-cost, higher-quality medical care. Insurers have recently acquired or announced deals for hospitals, medical groups and other providers. Humana acquired Concentra, an urgent-care and occupational-care provider; UnitedHealth Group bought Monarch HealthCare; and insurer Highmark bid to acquire West Penn Allegheny Health System in Pittsburgh (Evans, 12/17).
MPR: Blue Cross And Blue Shield MN Names New CEO
The state's largest commercial health insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, has named a new CEO. Former Aetna executive Michael Guyette takes over the helm of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Jan. 7. The Eagan-based non-profit has had a quick succession of CEOs in the past year and a half. Guyette replaces Scott Lynch who filled in as interim president and CEO after the board of trustees ousted Ken Burdick after only six months on the job. Burdick had replaced Patrick Geraghty who took over as CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (Stawicki, 12/17).
The Associated Press: Montana Supreme Court Upholds Lower Court, Rejects Request From Gay Couples For Equal Benefits
The Montana Supreme Court on Monday rejected an "overly broad" request that gay couples be guaranteed the same benefits as married couples, but left the door open for advocates to modify their case and try again. The plaintiffs promised to do so, declaring they are "on the right side of history" and will inevitably win (12/17).
California Watch: Report Estimates Health Plan Overbilled Medicare
Medicare may have overpaid an estimated $424 million to PacifiCare of California's Medicare Advantage plan based on risk assessments that in many cases made patients seem sicker than they were, according to a federal oversight agency. Medicare Advantage plans send patient diagnosis codes to Medicare, which boosts plan rates if clients are affected by serious medical conditions (Jewett, 12/17).
The Texas Tribune: State, Drug Company At Odds Over Pre-Term Birth Therapy
The distributor of a drug designed to prevent pregnant women from delivering premature babies has sued a number of states, and Texas could be next. The drug, Makena, which is marketed by St. Louis-based KV Pharmaceutical, is the only version of 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate, or "17P," FDA-approved to treat women at high risk of premature delivery. But its high cost — especially compared with an unbranded drug produced by "compounding pharmacies" that customize medications — has prompted some state Medicaid programs to refuse to offer it (Ramshaw, 12/18).

Health News Florida: FL Medicaid Doctors To Get 105% Raise
Florida is one of five states that pay primary-care doctors so little for treating Medicaid patients that those doctors will get a raise of more than 100 percent when a federal subsidy kicks in on Jan. 1, according to a new study. The raise, which brings Medicaid pay up to the level of Medicare for two years, is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The idea is to lure more doctors into primary care and make it worth their while to care for those insured by Medicaid, the joint state and federal program for the very poor. The federal government pays for Medicare, the program for the elderly and disabled, and determines the regional pay rates. But states determine the reimbursement rates for Medicaid by deciding how much to contribute (Gentry, 12/18).

Stateline: Connecticut Health Agency Fights Desperation Among The Uninsured
At 68, Maureen Smith has short, blonde hair, fashionable dark-framed glasses, and a soft, measured way of speaking that is the aural equivalent of comfort food The last is a particularly valuable trait because Smith frequently finds herself on the opposite end of the telephone with someone at the edge of desperation, if not a good deal beyond it. It might be a mother distraught after her teenage son has been rushed to an emergency room following a suicide attempt and her insurance carrier balks at paying for his hospital admission. It might be an elderly man enraged over a $75,000 hospital bill for a hip procedure that his insurer says it will not cover because it regards the operation as "experimental." Or it might be a young woman in tears because her insurance company will not pay $8,000 for a "safety bed" for her five-year old son whose cerebral palsy causes him to thrash about at night, keeping his parents sleepless and watchful out of fear that he will hurt himself (Ollove, 12/18).

It's sizzling hot - but it's not good news for farming in Wairarapa
It's official - Wairarapa hasn't been this hot in 20 years.
The official high recorded in Masterton on Thursday of 33.3C was the highest recorded by Niwa in the past 20 years - as long as records exist.
And a Solway meteorology-enthusiast recorded a temperature of 35.7C the same day, showing many of us could have experienced temperatures even higher.
A Niwa spokeswoman said yesterday that Masterton's temperature was the highest recorded since records started being collated in 1992.
She said the unusual heat was as a result of a strong northwesterly wind which increased temperatures across the eastern regions.
"There was some unusually high days even for January," she said.
"This occurred primarily because of a strong northwesterly wind which affected temperatures in Wairarapa on the 5th, 7th, 10th, 30th and 31st of January."
Graham Adam, of Solway, a former Eketahuna mayor, has been collating statistics since the 1980s when he bought a weather station.
He bought another automated weather station recently and set it up in his back garden.
He said the MetService figures and his own readings compared closely. Mr Adam recorded 35.7C on his station on Thursday and believed his reading was accurate.
"Whether being closer to buildings here has any effect or not there is lots of air and space at the back of my garden so it's still out in the open. When I saw 35.7 I thought it was exceptional."
The MetService said it was "entirely possible" that Mr Adam's reading was accurate as temperatures varied and fluctuated regularly depending on a range of environmental and physical factors such as a weather station's proximity to buildings.
Mr Adam said the summer heatwave had reminded him of his youth. "It's like we used to have summer, this is what I remember years ago."
He said from 1949 to 1963 regular heatwaves adversely affected farming in the region. "Some of the old farmers farming in the region in those days, after Christmas their cattle went away to the good country, there was no grass, no feed because we had a drought and this sort of summer year after year."
Niwa said temperatures in Masterton had been significantly higher than usual for January with an average mean temperature of 19.7C.
The heatwave has led to major concerns for farmers as feed is low and they are being forced to sell off stock.

New Earth Market for Old San Juan
Puerto Rico
07 Sep 12
For most people, Puerto Rico conjures up images of beaches, sunshine and healthy living, presumably with plentiful tropical produce. In reality however, the country's supermarkets, where most people shop, are stocked with imported foods and local farmers have struggled to compete. To help rebuild support for the island's fresh produce, the Old San Juan Farmers' Market was established in 2010 in the city's historic center; an explosion of color and vibrant flavors and the newest member of Slow Food's network of good, clean and fair farmers' markets – the Earth Markets.
The Old San Juan Farmers' Market, called Mercado Agricula Natural in Spanish, is held every Saturday morning in the internal courtyard of the Museo de Arte e Historia in Puerto Rico's historic area by the sea. It is privately managed in collaboration with the very active Slow Food Boricua Convivium, and the organizers have selected around 40 small-scale producers from across the island for their commitment to good, clean and fair food production.
With a focus on the link between nutrition, health and a natural lifestyle, the market offers a striking quantity and quality of fresh produce. Coconuts, bananas, sour sop, mangos, plantains, star fruit, yucca, peppers, tomatoes, avocados, passion fruit, breadfruit and citrus fruits according to the season as well as eggs and dairy products, sourdough bread, coffee, sweets, flowers and natural beauty/hygiene products. The market is 'meat-free' and the street foods stalls also prepare vegetarian and vegan dishes.
As one of the few places on the island where high quality local food can be found, the Old San Juan Farmers' Market offers a direction for the future. A report from 2007 indicates that the island was then producing a staggeringly low 10% of total food consumed, and that if imports were to stop fresh food would run out literally in around ten days. Furthermore, the quality of U.S. imports is perceived to be "relatively low" and there is concern about the lack of information on the "more than 3,000 artificial substances (that) are legal to be added to food produced in the U.S., many of which are proven to be dangerous for human health."
The decline in local food production began with post-war industrialization policies that ignored agriculture and favored imports, and is linked to the continuing steady decline in fertile agricultural land due to development, overuse of agricultural chemicals and reduced numbers of people wanting to own/work farms. Consequently, Puerto Rico's agricultural biodiversity is suffering.
The Earth Market is a small but important step for the Puerto Rican agricultural and gastronomic pride, on an island that has suffered, and continues to suffer, heavily from a kind of gastronomic colonization.

Scientific Games buying WMS for about $1.42B
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 7:47am EST
NEW YORK (AP) - Instant-win lottery ticket company Scientific Games is buying gaming equipment company WMS Industries Inc. for about $1.42 billion in order to broaden its product offerings.
Scientific Games Corp., which also makes video slot machines and other gaming systems, will pay $26 per WMS share. That's a 59 percent premium to the company's closing price of $16.37 on Wednesday.
Its stock jumped $8.93, or 54.6 percent, to $25.30 in premarket trading Thursday.
WMS, which is based in Waukegan, Ill., currently has about 54.6 million outstanding shares, according to FactSet.
The companies put the deal's total value at approximately $1.5 billion, including $85 million in debt.
"The acquisition of WMS is transformational for Scientific Games, enabling us to offer a complete portfolio of lottery and gaming products and services to both new and existing customers around the world," Scientific Games Chairman and CEO A. Lorne Weil said in a statement.
Scientific Games said that it will look for opportunities to cross-sell products to each companies' respective customers.
Scientific Games, based in New York, said the buyout is not subject to a financing condition and that it has committed financing.
Both companies' boards unanimously approved the deal, which still needs approval from WMS shareholders. The acquisition is expected to close by year's end.

Everyone I've seen has said they are in immediate need of at least one starting pitcher, not necessarily a number one but a three would help. Someone like Cole Hamels from the Phillies for instance. The next question is who do you have to trade for him? Is Lindor in play, because that would be what everyone wants! No , then who, Asdrubal Cabrera? His value has dropped along with his defense and batting average.
Next they still need a bat, a power bat if possible! Oh what would you give to have Nelson Cruz in there now? Could of, should have! Who would you like that might be available? Not too many on the trade block? Again, who could you trade for this big bat. Back to the same problem.
My suspicion is they will either stay put or be sellers and put Asdrubal Cabrera and possibly Justin Masterson on the block. Better to get something than to let them walk for nothing!
The Cavs problem is the players they want either don't want to come here or are restricted free agents who's team could match the offer sheet and either way it's a loose, loose situation! They are finding that out with Gordon Hayward now. It looks to me like they need to resign Spencer Hawes and try their hardest to get Trevor Ariza! Not my first or third choices, but let's get realistic, it's what they can get. The only other route is a trade which would probably involved Dion Waiters or Tristan Thompson or both? What is their value and what could you get in return to make them a better team?

I am all for supporting bands that I love and I don't always have a problem dropping my hard-earned cash on a quality concert - it's expensive to be on tour, after all - but goddamn, fifty bucks is just… so steep. Gone are the days of $10-$25 concerts, I suppose.
I also know that it is so much easier and way less stress for acts and their management to leave the complexity of ticketing to Ticketmaster and LiveNation. With that said, every time that I see $10 in fees, I want to go all Hulk Smash. It's criminal (actually, I'm convinced it is - the merger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation should have been blocked… it's a friggin' monopoly).
As much as I'd love to see Silversun Pickups at the House of Blues, I can't justify dropping $100 on two tickets (or $80 to sit in nosebleed). It's not that I can't afford it, but there's a point where it becomes a matter of principle. I've seen far better and far more prominent acts for much less.

Last season, Juventus staged a brilliant comeback to tie the game 3-3 after being 3-1 down in San Paolo in the first half. That match remains the only instance where Conte's side has conceded three goals in a single match. The Bianconeri brushed aside Napoli in the return leg in Turin on their way to wrestling the Scudetto from Milan. Napoli did manage to get a measure of revenge by defeating Juventus in Coppa Italia final, thus preventing the Bianconeri from sealing their first double in over one and half decades. The two sides once again faced off in pre-season Super Coppa in Beijing. Juventus once again staged a comeback to win that match 4-2. It was a controversial and ill-tempered encounter which saw Napoli reduced to nine men in regulation time. A master class from Paul Pogba helped Juventus score two goals in last 10 minutes to beat Napoli 2-0 in the first encounter of current Serie A season.
Napoli have been the primary challenger to Juventus this season and the match in San Paolo can potentially decide which team will finally lift the Scudetto.

from Global Investing:
There's cash in that trash
There's cash in that trash.
Analysts at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch are expounding opportunities to profit from the burgeoning waste disposal industry, which it estimates at $1 trillion at present but says could double within the next decade. They have compiled a list of more than 80 companies which may benefit most from the push for recycling waste, generating energy from biomass and building facilities to process or reduce waste. It's an industry that is likely to grow exponentially as incomes rise, especially in emerging economies, BofA/ML says in a note:
We believe that the global dynamics of waste volumes mean that waste management offers numerous opportunities for those with exposure to the value chain. We see opportunities across waste management, industrial treatment, waste-to-energy, wastewater & sewage,...recycling, and sustainable packaging among other areas.
There is no denying there is a problem. Around 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste are produced by the world's six billion people every day and 70 percent of this goes to landfill. In some emerging economies, over 90 percent is landfilled. And the waste mountain is growing. By 2050, the earth's population will reach 9 billion, while global per capita GDP is projected to quadruple. So waste production will double by 2025 and again from 2025 to 2050, United Nations agencies estimate.
And in emerging markets, challenges and opportunities are both enormous, BofA/ML says. Just Brazil for instance needs investments of $180 billion in this sector. For one, recycling is less widespread. Second, as countries grow richer they produce more rubbish. Third, all big emerging countries have multi-billion dollar plans to improve waste disposal.
from Raw Japan:
Mining gold from sewage
Japan has discovered a new source of mineral wealth -- sewage.
A sewage treatment plant in central Japan has recorded a higher gold yield from sludge than can be found at some of the world's best mines.
Nagano, in the mountains northwest of Tokyo, is home to some precision equipment manufacturers that use gold in their work and a local official says the yellow metal is turning up in the waste.

MSI is readying a new flagship NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480-powered graphics card, the N480GTX Lightning. Like MSI's other "Lightning" branded cards, the upcoming N480GTX Lightning is anything but a "me too" reference card. In fact, MSI has modified everything from the PCB design, to frequencies, and of course the cooler. First and foremost, the MSI N480GTX Lightning is designed for overclockers. The card features MSI's new, dual-fan Twin Frozr III cooler which also has a nickel-plated copper heatsink base, linked to a high-density array of aluminum cooling fins by five heat-pipes. The card also features over-voltage controls for the GPU, memory, and PLL, voltage check-points, voltage switches for instant voltage changes, and "CopperMOS" MOSFETS, which reportedly offer better cooling performance. In addition to the aforementioned items, the N480GTX Lightning also sports some "Proadlizer" (Prompt, Broadband, Stabilizer) capacitors which offer ultra-high capacitance ratings and have flat surfaces that can be more easily cooled.
The MSI N480GTX Lightning: 750MHz GPU, 1.5GHz Shaders, 1GHz (4GHz GDDR5) Memory
If you need further proof that MSI is targeting this card are the extreme overclocking crowd, get a load of this. The MSI N480GTX Lightning is also outfitted with dual-BIOS chips, one with a standard BIOS and another that solves the GTX 480's "cold bug" when LN2 cooling is used. There is also an XtremeCool switch that supposedly solves that same "cold bug". There is an OCP Unlock switch that allows for >320A of current as well, along with a PWM Clock Tuner switch that sets the PWM to 350MHz, from 260MHz to help eliminate ripple.
The MSI N480GTX Lightning Exposed
Other interesting features of the MSI N480GTX Lightning include 16 total power phases (GPU=12, Memory=3, PLL/PWM=1, triple power connectors—two 8-pin and one 6-pin—and an output configuration that consists of dual, dual-link DVI outputs, an HDMI output, and a DisplayPort output. Reference GTX 480 cards have only 8 power phases, 6 for the GPU and two for memory; the PLL/PWM gets its power from the PCIe slot. We should also note that the third power connector on the card (the 6-pin connector) is dedicated to the on-board memory, which reportedly results in cleaner, more stable power delivery. We'll have more on the MSI N480GTX Lightning when it arrives in the lab. Stay tuned to HotHardware for the full scoop in the not too distant future.
Man. I first saw this card when I was looking for reviews on the Twin Frozr II version of this card. Anyways, I can't wait for this card to come out. I am so going to buy a pair of these babies, put them in SLI and enjoy gaming bliss.
"The future starts with you; now start posting more!"
Taylor, If you get two of these together in one box, you'll be able to play any game, maxed out, for sure.
I wonder what two of them will cost you?
Anyway,........Lucky you!
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
1,100 for both of them together. Hefty price for the ability to play any game maxed out.
1,100 for both of them together. Hefty price for the ability to play any game maxed out.
Yet in a few months you'll be able to knock about 2 or 3 hundred off of that figure. That $1,100.00 price still puts them at a good price point compared to the ATI wazoo cards.
Troubling news, it seems it has lower overclocking expectations then expected.
Maybe we can find ways to make it run cooler...
TaylorKarras:Maybe we can find ways to make it run cooler...
An update over from Newegg. The N480GTX Lightning is now for sale for the price of $559.99.
