In February, closings of new homes in the Lancaster, PA market rose year-over-year, and there were signs that the market may be improving as the percentage lift was better than January 2016. There was a 59.3% climb in new home closings from a year earlier. This was after the housing market saw a 24.2% rise year-over-year in January.
A total of 621 new homes were sold during the 12 months that ended in February, up from 605 for the year that ended in January.
As a percentage of overall housing closings, new home closings represented 10.6%. This marks a rise from 7.3% of total closings a year earlier. After dropping in January from a year earlier, closings of new and existing homes gained year-over-year in February.
Pricing and Mortgage Trends
The average value of newly sold homes moved to $301,945 in February 2016 from $304,837 in February 2015. This followed a 20.1% gain in January year-over-year.
The average mortgage size on newly sold homes dropped year-over-year in contrast to the average price of new homes. The average mortgage size declined to $234,309 in February, marking a 1.8% fall compared with last year. In January 2016, average mortgage size rose 29.2% from a year earlier.
Other Market Trends
There has not been much movement in the composition of the market with regard of the types of properties sold. From a year ago, single-family home closings have moved from 74.1% of new home closings to 74.4% of closings while attached units have gone from 25.9% of closings to 25.6% of closings.
There was a 30.1% drop year-over-year in the average unit size of newly sold homes to 1,540 square feet in February 2016. The average size of newly sold homes moved from 2,186 square feet in January 2015 to 3,446 square feet in January 2016.
Foreclosures and real estate owned (REO) closings continued to drop from a year earlier in February, but did not appear to be dragging the market. Combined, foreclosures plus REO closings made up 13.2% of existing home closings, below 14.9% a year earlier. The percentage of existing home closings involving foreclosures slid to 0.6% in February from 1.8% a year earlier and REO closings moved from 13.2% of existing home closings in February 2015 to 12.7% in February 2016.

9.1 freezes at start up
I need your help.
I wanted to make my QUE CDR works under X with iTunes. So I thought that I may need to update the firmwire of the cdrw. So there was either two files to download. one que 2.0 and the other 2.8. Since I did not know which cdrw I have I downloaded both. The first file told me that it cannot find my drive. Cool so I double clicked on 2.8 and a window told me that I needed to restart twice the computer. So I just did that but as soon as I get the finder the computer crashes. The mouse is not moving. So I restarted with all extensions off and I got rid of an applescript filed called UpdateFlash from the start up menu. There is nothing left now. I restarted the computer and still it freezes after the finder appears. I guess it is an extension problem because I can start the computer by pressing shift. Can anyone help me please. dopik |
I think it is a problem with the USB
here is what happening. I shut down all extention from QUE. The mouse is working while the happy mac appears. However very soon after that, the mouse is not working at all. the software continues to launch as if everything was working fine. So I do not know really if the computer freezes when the finder appears. I think my USB is not working fine No keyboard and mouse. Please help me. dopik |
I gatehr that if you start up with extensions off, the computer works fine? If that's the case, then the stuff that you installed with the stuff from QUE is causing the problem. You can just remove it from the Extensions folder and see what happens then when you restart.
------------------ And that's true too.--Shakespeare, King Lear |
Yeah, Yoyo is right. Kill the Que! extensions and run it just with Toast. It'll work fine, and the Que! drivers are nothing but problems...
Cipher13 ------------------ AIM: Cipher1387 ICQ: 48111606 mail: firstname.lastname@example.com |
I did what you have both adviced me to do and it still not working.
Here is what I have found is that the mouse is working when the computer starts. However, very soon after MacOS 9.1 appears, the mouse stops responding and the computer still continues to launch. I therefore think that the computer does not freeze but it seems like that since the mouse and the keyboard is not responding. Does anyone know what I should do. Thanks dopik |
I wonder if you've lost some necessary extensions in the process of installing the QUE stuff. It might be worthwhile to restart from the OS CD and do a clean install of the OS. Try it and see is that does the trick. You've really got nothing to lose--all the extensions, control panels, help files, preferences, etc. in your current system are saved by a clean install in the Previous System folder that gets placed in your HD. If the clean install solves the problem, you can just move the necessary files to the new system folder.
------------------ And that's true too.--Shakespeare, King Lear [This message has been edited by yoyo52 (edited 05-02-2001).] |
I just made a clean install and it works again. Thank you so much.

Like your smartphone, you can now perform multi-finger gestures for panning, zooming, and rotating your artistic creations. Advertisement The 24HD Touch also boasts a display capable of reproducing about 97 percent of the AdobeRGB gamut, a color profile often preferred by photographers. Which means that while doing color corrections and post-processing they'll be able to see a better representation of what their shots will actually look like when printed. But these improvements don't come cheap. The Cintiq line of interactive displays have always been pricey, but the 24HD will sell for $3,700 when it ships in August. Which means it's mostly targeted at professionals making a living from pixel pushing, or hobbyists with plenty of disposable income. [Wacom]Reply41 repliesLeave a reply

Reducing Public Speaking Anxiety For Community College Students: The Effects of A Combination Anxiety Reduction Technique on Trait and State Anxiety
The effectiveness of a treatment for
communication apprehension (CA) was
examined in this study. Trait and state anxiety
were examined by using community college
students enrolled in four sections of a required
basic speech communication course. The
sample size consisted of 81 students, ranging
in ages 17-82. Each student was asked to
complete a trait anxiety measure (Personal
Report of Communication Apprehension-24)
during the second class meeting (pre-test) and
again on the last day of class (post-test). For
the state anxiety measure, students were asked
to complete the Speaker Anxiety (SA) Scale
immediately after delivering an informative
speech at the end of the semester. Two
classes served as the treatment group,
receiving a 15-minute combination anxiety
reduction technique and two classes served as
the control group, receiving no treatment. A
significant interaction was found in
physiological activation, an important direct
manifestation of state anxiety commonly
experienced as irregular heart beat, dry mouth,
sweaty palms, and feelings of exhaustion. The
findings showed that the students in the control
group who spoke in the second week had
higher anxieties than did the other students. A
dividend of this investigation was the result that
supported frequent anecdotal reports from
past speech students; namely, that at the
conclusion of the basic speech course,
students in this study reported a reduction in
trait anxiety. Of the other comparisons made,
race and maternal encouragement were shown
as major influences for the trait of
communication apprehension. Future research
should use larger samples of community
college students and focus on state anxiety
with trait anxiety as a monitor for stability.
Treatments might also be expanded to weekly
sessions during a major portion of one

Kiras Bangun
Kiras Bangun (1852 – October 22, 1942), also known as Garamata is a national hero of Indonesia.
Bangun was born in the village of Batu Karang (modern day Karo Regency, North Sumatra), Dutch East Indies, in 1852.[1] He was nicknamed Garamata (Red Eyes). As a youth, he wandered from urung (village) to another urung in order to maintain the norms, customs and cultures of Karo.[2]
In 1905, Bangun fought the Dutch in Southeast Aceh and Dairi with guerrilla tactics. However, the Dutch that used oportuniteit beginsel, made him out of hiding and exiled him to Riung.[3] In 1909, he was released, though he was still under Dutch's control.[4] From 1919 to 1926, helped by two of his sons, he led the rebellion in Tanah Karo. They were exiled to Cipinang, whilst he continued his struggle against the Dutch in humanities.[5]
Bangun died on 22 October 1942 in Batu Karang.[5]

"If travel teaches us how to see, how come every time all I see is you?"
~Ika Natassa, Antologi Rasa
Believe in Your Value
Take a minute and look into your heart. How do you feel about yourself? If your answer does not agree with God's Word, I encourage you to begin today renewing your mind about yourself.
See yourself as God sees you. Study God's Word and you will find out that you are precious, created in your mother's womb by God's own hand. You are not an accident. Even if your parents told you they never really wanted you, I can assure you that God wanted you. You are valuable, you have worth, you are gifted, you are talented, and you have a purpose on this earth.
Not only must we ask God for things He has promised us but we must receive them (see John 16:24). If you feel unworthy, you probably won't ask, and even if you do, you won't receive by faith. Don't let feelings rule you anymore. Take a step of faith and start improving your quality of life today. Believe that you make good decisions, that you are a valuable person with a great future, and something good is going to happen to you today!
Pray: Lord, I ask You to imprint Your love into the depths of my heart. I believe You have a great future for me and that I can walk in Your purpose for my life. Amen.

10 Things I've Learned About Worship Leading
1. The difference between preparing and not preparing is MASSIVE.
Apart from knowing the songs and learning the lyrics, setting aside time to prepare my heart before God is the most important thing — it allows the Holy Spirit to speak, puts a verse on my heart, and gives me ideas.
2. Receive constructive feedback.
From those around you who have been doing this for longer than you. I want to lead people the best way I can each time, plus I don't know everything so I need to remain humble and teachable.
3. Have a plan.
If you don't play an instrument, grab the Music Director, or a musician and together, figure out the keys of the songs you've chosen, any potential creative moments you might have, specific transitions, etc. That way you have a plan in place that has been practiced, but you also have flexibility to change if you feel to do so.
4. Have an opinion.
Especially if you're a co-worship leader. When the senior worship leader asks you what you think of a song, idea, or moment – have something to contribute! You could have a great idea that no one has thought of yet.
5. Run your song list by someone else.
I always get a second eye to look over my list, just to make sure it's the strongest and most relevant it can be. This can mean you may need to tailor a song list to a specific service and then tweak it slightly for the next one.
6. Don't strive when you lead, but don't step back either.
Lead with the authority that has been given to you. Yes, there is a spiritual weight to the platform, which includes the responsibility we have to lead people to Jesus, but lead confidently knowing you've been given the platform and entrusted by your pastors.
7. You will have a train wreck and you will be okay.
A close friend and mentor told me this and a week later, I had a beauty! Don't stress – it keeps you humble and you learn from it, plus they make for great stories!
8. Watch, listen and learn every chance you get.
We never graduate from learning.
9. Your primary service to the church is to lead them to the presence of God.
Don't think for a second that worship leading is your moment to shine or preach, especially when you are taking 'the gap'. If it adds to the service and allows you to arrest the atmosphere, then do it; but if it takes away from Jesus and what your primary purpose is, leave it out.
10. Be yourself.
You are unique and God speaks to each of us differently, so lead accordingly. God has put something on your life, so lead from that place.

Your Desk Job Matters
Corporate jobs may be frowned upon by many millennials, but they're still meaningful to God.
"Yeah, you're a bit of a YUP," my friend smiled. I stared back at him, confused.
"What? Really? No way. You think?" I responded, contemplating the claim.
"Think about it. You work downtown. Have your own car. You're buying your own house soon. You dress up every day and you work in a big office building. Young? Check. Urban? Check. Professional? Check."
"I guess you're right." I paused, chuckling. "But I'm not your typical YUP. I'm just your regular guy." Defenses up, I did my best to avoid the stereotype of one of those stuffy entitled guys in a suit, recalling my journalism days and my dreams for the future.
"Oh for sure." He said. "But does it matter if you're a YUP or not? You're there for a reason, God's using your gifts and you're following His direction, right? You're in the right place so long as you keep faith, trust in God and seek to show His love to the people you work with."
My friend had a point. Most twentysomethings, especially those in the the Church, want to do something meaningful with their life—and they often think that translates directly into working in full-time ministry, dedicating their life to creating art or starting their own nonprofit. All those things are worthwhile and good goals, but looking around my church at the twentysomethings who are making a lot of big life decisions, rarely do I see an example of a young millennial who has gone the traditional route of a four-year college degree to find themselves in a cubicle on the 11th floor—or at least who are happy being there. It isn't the ideal of many who seek to serve the Kingdom of God.
Having worked in a corporate setting for a few years, I've often questioned why I still walk to the same desk every day.
Corporate work offers many opportunities to serve God, to show love to people and to be a good steward of what you've been given.
But while our communities and churches certainly benefit from photographers, artists, writers, musicians, artisans, chefs, carpenters, fire-fighters, hard-laborers, entrepreneurs and small-business owners, those who have found themselves in a corporate gig have just as much to contribute to both the Church and the Kingdom as any other talented individual. In fact, corporate work offers many opportunities to serve God, to show love to people and to be a good steward of what you've been given. Here are a few reasons your corporate job matters:
1. It's a Place to Exercise Your Gifts.
Maybe you're naturally good with money, or you're an excellent copywriter. You have a knack for creating sound business plans, handling budgets and organizing people. Whatever your gifting may be in terms of your professional skills, your corporate position may be the perfect place to exercise and develop those gifts. Often, organizations will even pay for your professional development or schooling in order to advance you in the company or give you greater responsibility. And the demands of the corporate business world also call for the application of sound biblical principles of honesty, integrity, accountability, a solid work ethic and a love for people, including colleagues and customers.
If you've found yourself in a corporate setting, take a step back and examine your circumstance. You have skills and talents that got you there. In what ways can you honor those God-given gifts, where you are, right now?
2. It Provides Ways to Serve the Church With Your Expertise.
Church isn't just a place to show up once or twice a week. It's a gathering of a diverse collection of people to worship God together, to learn of God's Word together, to serve our communities together. It's also the living, breathing Body of Christ.
Every single person has the ability to contribute to the health of the Church, and your corporate experience and gifts might be exactly what the Church needs. You have the ability to help someone get their small business running, assist a local business with marketing, bring your organization or leadership skills to your church's next conference or children's event and even use your accounting skills to help your church balance its budget.
You probably know more than you think, and you can use that knowledge to help the Church and Body of Christ in ways that others simply cannot.
Your corporate job gives you insight into standard business practices that others can benefit from. You probably know more than you think, and you can use that knowledge to help the Church and Body of Christ in ways that others simply cannot.
3. It Offers Opportunities to Reach the Unreached.
As a follower of Christ, you have influence in your place of work. In every office, there is someone who needs to know the love of Jesus, who needs to hear the message of the Cross, who needs someone like you to speak truth and life into their circumstance. This is perhaps your biggest opportunity to find purpose in your corporate work. God can and will use you to reach people in finance, accounting, marketing, advertising—whatever the field.
Rather than looking at corporate work as the evil scourge of the earth (though you certainly want to make sure your personal values align with an organization's corporate values), riding the elevator to the 11th floor every day may be exactly where God needs you to develop your spiritual character, your gifts and to reach those who are broken, empty and living without knowing their Savior.
Your corporate job matters so long as you keep in mind what you are putting in and what you are getting out of it. As long you're developing, learning, reaching others and honoring the Lord by doing work with excellence and fervor, that gray cubicle may be the exact place you need to be.

I group these two together because of the extent to which they share the same ideologies. The duo is legendary for their longstanding business and investing prowess through investments at Berkshire Hathaway, which has consistently outperformed the market since its inception.
The result has spawned an army of devoted followers and has earned Buffett and Munger titles of two of the richest men on the planet. As a testament to their influence, thousands of people fly in from across the world to spend just a day listening to Buffett and Munger speak at their annual shareholder's meeting.
So when Buffett or Munger give advice, we should listen. The two largely share the same philosophies on best business practices and investment styles, and they also happen to agree on the same method for success. In a 2007 commencement speech given at the USC School of Law, Charlie Munger said:
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.
He goes on to reference Buffett as an example of such a learning machine:
If you watched Warren Buffett with a time clock, I would say half of all the time he spends is just sitting on his ass and reading. And a big chunk of the rest of the time is spent talking on the phone or personally with people he trusts.
Buffett echoes his partner's sentiments. When asked how to get smarter at a conference, he held up a stack of papers and said:
Read 500 pages like this every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will.
2. Mark Cuban
Mark Cuban seems to achieve success in every industry he enters, whether it's business, entertainment, technology, investing or sports. He started and sold his first business, Micro Solutions (a systems integrator and software reseller), despite never having formally studied technology or software. How did he do it?
The reason, according to Cuban, is that reading gave him the competitive advantage to succeed where others couldn't, and this applies to all endeavors. As he explains in his book, "How to Win at the Sport of Business,"
I read every book and magazine I could. Heck, three bucks for a magazine, twenty bucks for a book. One good idea would lead to a customer or a solution, and those magazines and books paid for themselves many times over. Some of the ideas I read were good, some not. In doing all the reading I learned a valuable lesson. Most people won't put in the time to get a knowledge advantage. Sure, there were folks that worked hard at picking up every bit of information that they could, but we were few and far between. To this day, I feel like if I put in enough time consuming all the information available, particularly with the Internet making it so readily accessible, I can get an advantage in any technology business
3. Malcolm X
Perhaps the most inspirational example of the importance of reading comes from the life story of Malcolm X. He dropped out of school upon completing the 8th grade, disgusted with the educational system after a white teacher at the school had discouraged him in his dream of becoming a lawyer.
Out of school, Malcolm X eventually entered into the world of drug dealing and pimping in Harlem at age 18, then got into larger robberies and was arrested and incarcerated for larceny at age 20.
However, Malcolm X began to turn his life around during his time in prison, partly through his conversion to Islam, but more so through a fellow inmate who inspired in him a serious passion for reading. He writes in his autobiography:
In every free moment I had, if I was not reading in the library, I was reading on my bunk. You couldn't have gotten me out of books with a wedge […] In fact, up until then, I had never been so truly free in my life […] My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America. Not long ago, an English writer telephoned my from London, asking questions. One was, 'What's your alma mater?' I told him, 'Books.' You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I'm not studying something…
These three people worked or continue to work in a range of fields spanning business, investing, technology, politics, public speaking, civil rights and leadership.
They lived or live through different periods of time with different purposes and missions in life. Yet the common link among them is their affinity for reading and their accreditation of success to that key trait.
The takeaway is, regardless of your endeavor, your current situation, your upbringing, or the path you wish to take in life, reading is the key to upward mobility. It may not guarantee success, but it surely increases the chances of it.
Fortunately, the amount of time we spend reading is entirely within our control, so get to it.

Irvine-grown microgreens sprout at 226 Vons, Pavilions stores
Tiny sustainable greens have planted roots at Vons and Pavilions.
Irvine-based Urban Produce, an indoor hydroponic farm, has expanded its microgreens product line to 226 grocery stores in Southern California. Ed Horton, the farm's co-founder and chief executive, connected with the grocers in May, and the first shipment was sent in October.
The microgreens are all organic and include Kale-ifornia, wasabi-bok choy, broccoli, amaranth, arugula and wheatgrass. While Vons and Pavilions already sell some microgreens, Urban Produce is the first to supply the chains with uncut, living greens. Prices for a single package of microgreens can range from $2.49 to $2.99, depending on the store.
"Ours has a longer shelf life and provides flavor and texture, all the elements that you would want out of a microgreen," said Danielle Horton, Urban Produce's co-founder and director of marketing.
Urban Produce uses a high-density vertical growing system that condenses the growing field. A harvest that would typically require 16 acres can be produced in just an eighth of an acre, according to the company.
Plants are rotated inside the greenhouse to properly distribute water. All water runoff is eliminated, which means the farm uses less than 100 gallons of water a day.
Urban Produce debuted in October 2013 and built its growing unit in 2014. It received organic certification in January. The farm's microgreens are sold in Albertsons, Gelson's, Cucina Enoteca in Newport Beach, Greenleaf Chophouse in Costa Mesa, the Dock in Newport Beach and My Cuppa Juice in Lake Forest.
In the next three to five years, the company hopes to build 100 growing units across the nation. A long-term goal is to produce plants off the grid by generating energy and water within the growing unit, an idea the company would like to introduce to developing nations.
New products in the works at Urban Produce include chiles, lettuce and micro basil and cilantro.

The Hal Higdon plan my training plan is based on allowed for some smaller races along the course of the training. Today, the plan called for a 5k; and I had no 5k to run this weekend. I instead moved my Wednesday speedwork (postponed due to weather) to Friday, and ran my 3 mile pace run (that I missed last week) today.

I wore some of my favorites: my Lululemon Run: Energy Pullover, with just a tank underneath, my Lululemon Dash Crop & Baseball cap (because of the sun!). I started off with gloves, but realized I didn't need them about 2 miles in.
As I wrote before, my target half marathon pace is somewhere in the 10:23-10:41 range, preferably at the lower end of the range, of course.

Rocky is a 1981 Bollywood film produced and directed by Sunil Dutt who also has a cameo role. The film marks the debut of Sunil Dutt's son Sanjay Dutt and stars Reena Roy, Tina Munim, Amjad Khan, Raakhee, and Shakti Kapoor. Aruna Irani received a Filmfare Nomination for Best Supporting Actress, the only nomination for the film.[1]
Shammi Kapoor plays himself, where he gets to judge dancers to the famous song "Aa Dekhe Zara," where Sanjay Dutt and Reena Roy as a pair compete against Shakti Kapoor and Tina Munim. The film was released only a four days after the death of Sunil's wife and Sanjay's mother, Nargis. The film became a "semi-hit" at the box office and the ninth-highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1981.[2]
Shankar (Sunil Dutt) is an educated young man who is employed in the construction business by Ratanlal (Anwar Hussain). Shankar is also the union leader, and would like Ratanlal to enforce measures for workers' safety. Before he could ensure this, Shankar is accidentally killed in a work-related accident, leaving behind his wife, Parvati (Raakhee) and young son, Rakesh (Sanjay Dutt). Rakesh is in trauma because of an incident, and this trauma is repeated in his mind every time his mother comes near him. Parvati is instructed to keep away from Rakesh, and Rakesh is adopted by Robert (Amjad Khan) and his wife, Kathy (Aruna Irani) and they rename him Rocky.
Years later Rocky has grown up without knowing who his birth mother is. Rocky's lifestyle is carefree, until he falls in love with Renuka (Tina Munim). It is then that he learns that he is really Rakesh, and that his mother is still alive, and his father did not die accidentally, but was murdered. Rocky sets out to avenge his father's death. He gets help from a rape victim (Reena Roy). But he doesn't know that his days, along with those of his near and dear ones, may also be numbered.

After 4 years you have accomplished nothing Mr. Obama. What are your plans for the future?
Why didn't someone mention how Paul Ryan called the U.S. a continent during the convention, WHAT DID ROMNEY MEAN WHEN HE STATED" WE NEED TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK?", why didn't the moderator show some restraint when Romney acted out his desperate attempt to when the first debate..yet so much attention was given to the way that Biden was acting. Why isn't any real attention given to the way Romney flip flops? This is the character he will bring to the White House, if elected..that's real scary.
if MR Romney is a man of God, a man of faith, how can he lie to so many people, why would he wants to see so many people suffer since he is already rich, isnt the bible say to treat your brother like you treat your self, or dont do to others what you dont want others do to you
Governor Romney and Senator Ryan continue to say that President Obama failed to bring the Democrats and the Republicans together during his 4-year term. I want President Obama to remind Governor Romney that when a Party's goal is to make you a 1-term President, their objective is to work against you.
President Obama is the first African-American President. He has been disrespected more than any President I know. During the Vice-Presidential Debate, Vice-President Biden refer to his opponents as Govenor Romney and Senator Ryan, while Senator Ryan refers to the President as Obama. I will say it for President Obama, many Whites have never accepted him as the President because he is "Black." Even if President Obama walks on water or parts the Red Sea, their opinion of him will not change.
I would rather have a President who is calm and thoughtful than to have a President who is high on caffeine, irrational and indecisive.
If Mitt Romney is going to broaden the tax base, Is Social
Security going to be taxed instead of people making 250,000.?
nothing ,romney should go and rest its obama turn until 2016
Given the extreme lack of bipartisan collaboration in Washington isn't it time for Congress to introduce term limits? Since the President can only serve two terms, shouldn't we end the "Career" politicians in Washington and introduce three term limits for Congress members and five term limits for Senators?
Why are we still giving foreign aid to Pakistan when they are undermining our efforts in Afganistan? Why are we giving any foreign aid when the fund could be used for our poor in America?

The Bloody Sunday inquiry tried yesterday to jolt the Rev Ian Paisley out of his reluctance to appear before it by ordering him to turn up this morning or face being declared in contempt of court.
The Democratic Unionist Party leader was formally warned by the head of the inquiry, Lord Saville of Newdigate, to appear in Londonderry at 9.30am today or face being reported to the High Court. Lord Saville said the suspicion was that Mr Paisley had given the inquiry "the run-around". Mr Paisley was said last night to be considering his position.
In falling foul of the tribunal, Mr Paisley finds himself in the unlikely company of two journalists who are facing possible prison sentences after refusing to supply the inquiry with the names of soldiers they interviewed for Channel 4.
Lena Ferguson and Alex Thomson have formally refused to comply with the instruction from the tribunal, which is investigating the fatal shootings of 14 civilians by soldiers in 1972.
Mr Paisley's son, Ian Paisley Jnr, said his father was only told last Monday he would have to appear at the tribunal. He said his father "had far more pressing and credible parliamentary duties to attend to". In common with most Unionist politicians, Mr Paisley has a low opinion of the inquiry, which they tend to view as a source of nationalist and republican propaganda.
The DUP leader has given a written statement to the inquiry and takes the view he has nothing to add to it, adding that he has no personal recollection of an issue the inquiry wishes to pursue. This centres on the fact that a local DUP branch originally declared it would mount a counter-demonstration on Bloody Sunday. It then dropped its plans, saying it had been given assurances by the Northern Ireland government that the march would be stopped by force if necessary.
Mr Paisley had been due to appear at the tribunal yesterday but did not show up.
John McBurney, the solicitor who appeared on his behalf, cited "parliamentary duties", saying his client had commitments in the Belfast Assembly, at Westminster and in Europe.
But Lord Saville told Mr McBurney: "We have come to the conclusion that we will certify Dr Paisley for contempt if he does not appear here by 9.30 tomorrow morning."
Mr McBurney said Mr Paisley was willing to attend the inquiry if a suitably flexible date was arranged. He added: "If there are several alternatives, then I would like to hope that at least one of them would be possible."
However, Lord Saville pointed out that confirmation that the DUP leader would not be attending yesterday was only received 12 minutes before the close of business on Friday, at the beginning of a three-day holiday weekend.
He said the tribunal had "bent over backwards" to accommodate Mr Paisley, adding: "On the face of it, it looks as if your client is trying to give us the run-around."

This is a good cake, was filling, and it has melted toffee underneath it and surrounding it, so it's a nice treat like a liquefied Skor bar at the bottom.

Bill Sharman, who was a Hall of Fame guard for the Boston Celtics in the 1950s and former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers that helped lead the franchise to its first NBA title in Los Angeles, died on Friday at the age of 87, according to Claire Noland and Jerry Crowe of the Los Angeles Times.
Sharman had suffered a mild stroke last Saturday and died Friday morning in his home in Redondo Beach, said his wife, Joyce.
He was born in 1926 in Abilene, Texas, he spent his childhood in Lomita and attended Narbonne High School in Harbor City before he moved to Porterville in the San Joaquin Valley. In high school, he was a multi-sport athlete who along with basketball played baseball, boxing, track, football, and tennis.
Sharman excelled in baseball earning him a draft selection in 1950 MLB draft by the then Brooklyn Angeles Dodgers, which at the end of the 1951 season was called up to the majors and played a total of five years in professional baseball.
As a professional basketball player was elected in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1976 and as a coach in 2004, which he accompanied John Wooden and Lenny Wilkens as the only there people to accomplish this feat. He was also in 1996 named as one of the 50 greatest players in the NBA in its first 50 years of existence.
He played his college basketball for four seasons at the University of Southern California before being selected as the 17th overall pick in the 1950 NBA Draft by the Washington Capitols, where he spent one season with the franchise before spending the next decade playing for the Celtics.
With the Celtics, he had an illustrious career that included four NBA championships (1957, 1959-1961), eight All-Star game selections (1953-1960), four NBA All-First team honors(1956–1959), three NBA All-Second team (1953, 1955, 1960) and one All-Star game MVP (1955).
In his 11-year career in the NBA, he averaged 17.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.
Sharman began his coaching career in 1966 as the head coach for the San Francisco Warriors in the ABA for two seasons then went on to coach the then Los Angeles Stars and won an ABA title with the franchise in the 1970-71 season when the organization moved to Utah. The following year, he resigned as the head coach and accepted the chance to coach the Lakers.
In first season in 1971-72 as the Lakers head coach, Sharman helped lead the franchise with players such as Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West win over the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, which marked the organization's first title in over a decade in a year that the team had a 69-13 record in regular season record that included a 33-game winning streak, which is still tops in all professional sports, that helped him earn the NBA Coach of the Year award that season.
Off the court prior to his basketball career, Sharman had also served in the Navy during World War II from 1944 to 1946.

As we approach the halfway point for 2012, now's a good time to look back at what's happening with the stocks that interest you. By making sure you know the important things that a company accomplished -- as well as the setbacks it experienced -- you can make a better decision about whether it's a smart investment for your portfolio.
Today, let's take a look at Samson Oil & Gas
Stats on Samson Oil & Gas

Why is Samson Oil & Gas plunging in 2012?
Samson's crown jewel has been its acreage in the Bakken area of North Dakota. Although Samson doesn't have anywhere close to the 900,000-acre position in the Bakken that Continental Resources
But another prospective winner is Samson's Niobrara holdings in Wyoming. With big players Devon Energy
The problem, though, is that Samson hasn't executed well yet. Last week, the company gave updates on its Hawk Springs project in Wyoming and its Roosevelt project in Montana. With mixed results, investors sent the company's shares plunging by more than 20% in a single day.
Still, the company is also seeking other opportunities. Apache recently said that Samson would be one of its partners on deepwater bids it won from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the Gulf of Mexico.
With oil prices falling and gas prices already low, Samson needs to see things pick up on the development front. Otherwise, falling enthusiasm for energy could send its already tiny share price plunging even further.
Samson Oil & Gas hasn't proven to be the ideal energy play. But don't worry; we've got another stock that we think has a better chance to deliver strong gains in the future. Read about it right here in The Motley Fool's special free report on the energy industry and its best prospects.

I didn't have time to assemble the top, but here is the front laid out for a general idea of what it will look like. I plan to have buttons down the front. The neck will be gathered onto a bias band. I used a peasant top pattern as a base for this.
The pants, however are finished. I did an inset panel on the side with lots of small ruffles down the side of the leg.

Fox Racing Shox
36 Float 29 RC2 Boost Factory - 2017
The Fox 36 platform has been around for well over a decade. It has been a staple on all sorts of bikes over the years - freeride, all mountain, enduro, you name it. For 2017, the 36 continues as a burly, no nonsense fork with excellent adjustability.
RC2 Damper
The tried-and-true RC2 damper offers the most external adjustability, with separate high/low speed compression, and low speed rebound. For those who desire the highest level of tuning, the RC2 damper will be the best option. Overall suspension feel and responsiveness on the RC2 forks will be the best Fox has to offer. If you're primary focus is based on descending performance, the RC2 damper is for you.
Boost 15x110mm
This iteration of the 2017 Fox 36 employs the new Boost 15x110mm axle, increasing chassis stiffness. Please note, this is not convertible to any other axle standard, so please insure that you have a compatible front wheel.
Other Details
Since the 36-series Fox forks are targeted towards the more aggressive crowd, they opt for a 180mm post mount disc brake tab, meaning the smallest rotor you can with this fork is 180mm. As with all Factory Series Fox forks, the 36 Float utilizes Fox's famous Kashima buttery smooth coating on the stanchions. This fork is backed by Fox's limited 1-year warranty.

PLENARY SESSION P1 (Keynote)
Institutional Knowledge! When Good Employees Leave, What Do We Really Lose and How Do We Retain It?
Dr. Andrew Pena, SPHR, MBA
Assistant Vice-President for Human Resources
New Mexico State University
Every day when a good employee leaves their job, they're "walking out the door" with a very valuable asset. They leave with the valuable information they learned about their jobs, or what you trained them on. Whether it be only for a year or so, or if it was for more than 20 years, they leave with their institutional knowledge or memory.
This is what happens to an organization loses its best, brightest, most experienced and knowledgeable employees. Keep in mind, that not all employee turnover is "bad" turnover. Sometimes, there are employees that we'd like to leave sooner rather than later. But regardless of the good or bad types of turnover, what we're finding is that these employees are leaving work with a substantial amount of work, business, and operational knowledge that will be difficult to replace or duplicate if internal systems to retain or document this type of knowledge are non-existent.
As the Keynote Speaker for the 2017 Continuity Insights Management Conference, Dr. Andrew Pena, with more than 31 years of professional human resources management experience in both the public and private sectors, and currently the Assistant Vice President for Human Resource Services at the New Mexico State University, as well as the author of several papers and articles on proactively retaining corporate generational and institutional knowledge, will share his experience and insights on this increasingly crucial topic – Institutional Knowledge! When Good Employees Leave, What Do We Really Lose and How Do We Retain It?

After a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays in which the New York Mets offense put up nine or more runs in all three games (29 runs total), the clum's offense managed just five-runs while being swept at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds.
During the bottom of the second inning of Sunday afternoon's loss, Ike Davis, Daniel Murphy and Josh Thole delivered three-straight singles to load the bases with one-out. The struggling Andres Torres stepped to the plate with a chance to do some damage. Instead, Torres popped out to shallow centerfield. The Mets caught a break after Reds starter, Johnny Cueto walked right hander Chris Young to force in the games first run, but failed to plate another run as Cueto struck out Kirk Nieuwenhuis to end the inning and the NY rally.
Entering Sunday's contest versus the Reds, the Mets were hitting .267 with runners in scoring position, ranking seventh in Major League Baseball. Yet. They managed just one hit in five such situations on Sunday and finished the three-game set just 3-for-18 (.167) with runners in scoring position. Something manager Terry Collins acknowledged during his post-game presser, saying:
Well, we asked ourselves the same question this morning, 'What's the difference?. We had opportunities. One of the things we've done, we've gotten big hits with two outs, and this series we didn't hit with two outs."
Like they did last week, the Mets will have a chance to bounce back tonight as they welcome in the Baltimore Orioles. However, as David Wright told reporters yesterday afternoon, it's going to be a long week if the club continues to struggle offensively:
Photo taken by Michael Baron
We're sputtering a little bit offensively. Our starting pitching hasn't been bad, but we just haven't been able to get that many runs. Obviously, it puts a ton of pressure on the pitching staff to put zeros up when offensively we're not clicking. I think that we're doing an OK job getting guys on base, but we haven't had that big hit that gets us going. …We didn't play so well the first three games of the homestand, but we've got two really, really good teams coming in here now [Orioles and Yankees], and we've got to figure it out, because it's going to be a long week if we continue to struggle offensively. We need to continue to have good at-bats, and somebody will break that ice and get that big hit, and it'll kind of flow from there."

Bronx Beep Diaz Sets Radio Host Straight on Guns
Hot97 morning show host Cipha Sounds sprayed a fusillade of doubt on the city's gun buyback program yesterday, telling listeners during a news brief that at last weekend's Bronx buyback event, which collected 1,186 weapons, the NYPD photographed and compiled a list of participants.
Maybe he expected to spur some call-ins with that charge, but he probably wasn't expecting one from the Bronx Borough President.
This morning, Bronx Beep Ruben Diaz, Jr., who promoted the program, refuted the host's paranoiac commentary in a call to the station's Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg show.
"Cipha, look, you're very influential and important," Diaz said, "but the reality is that each one of these 1,186 guns that we took off the street represents potentially another Sadie Mitchell or Aisha Santiago or even Vada Vasquez, the young 15-year-old girl who was shot in the head."

In a borough where no game-show-watching granny or working mom is safe from stray bullets, last Saturday's program aimed to prevent more tragedies. The NYPD and borough president enlisted four Bronx churches to open their doors, giving weapon wielding residents a venue more comfortable than a precinct to make transactions. Participants received a $200 debit card, backed by Chase Bank, for each operational firearm turned in.
Inside the churches, police arranged guns on tables. The line-up included an Uzi and a "Streetsweeper." While the buyback program removed over 1,000 firearms from the Boogie Down borough, it has rid the city of nearly 6,000 guns since its inception in 2008.
"No one could ever say that they went to jail or got arrested because they participated in this program," Diaz said.
Despite the borough president's insistence of anonymity and his references to heartbreaking gun violence incidents in the borough, he failed to inspire the host (who incidentally hails from Bronx) to shed his skeptical outlook. "I hate all those stories random violence, of innocent people getting hit," he said, "but I'm just thinking it's a setup to catch criminals later on and put them on a list."
When Cipha gored the program yesterday, his more sympathetic sidekick K Foxx offered sage advice to criminal participants: Scrub the handguns clean of handprints before turning them over.
But Cipha wasn't hearing that.
"You're getting videotaped," he insisted. "You have to write your name down. The whole program is from the NYPD. Now they know you -- that guy right there -- you have guns."
He insisted a trade-in placed people in the NYPD's crosshairs.
"Some of these cops, they're not logical thinkers," he insisted. "They're not humanitarians, where they see you and it's like, 'Oh, this guy's a gentleman. He turned in his gun last week.' They're like, 'Yo. Keep an eye on him. I know he got heat on him."
The morning host seemed incredulous that a person would hand over a weapon for a piddling $200 bucks, when the price point for used guns stood higher in Brooklyn.
His rant lit up the Hot97 switchboard. One caller, who claimed to have dropped off two guns at the buyback, vouched for the program's no-questions-asked policy. One of the weapons, the caller said, had a broken clip holder. "The other one, it was time to get rid of, you know what I mean?" he said. He said he owned other guns anyway.
"Why didn't you turn them all in?" Cipha asked.
"Nah. Nah. Nah," the caller said.
