Courthouse Construction Projects
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, and members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for inviting the General Services Administration to appear before you today to discuss the historic federal courthouse construction program that we have underway. We are proud of the courthouses we are producing and of the strong project management that is allowing us to bring in high-quality buildings within the appropriated project budgets.
The program is the largest such since the 1930's. I am pleased to report that, in partnership with the Judiciary and the private design and construction industries, GSA is producing landmark federal courthouses that are worthy of the American people and their belief that the pursuit of justice is one of the highest ideals of American government. We are commissioning the best American architects and are winning praise for the courthouses' designs and functionality from architecture critics, judges and other building users, and from local community leaders.
I can also report to you that we are as tough on our project budgets as we are about excellence in design. The courthouses are designed and constructed to complex and exacting requirement standards. We have established a sophisticated system of cost benchmarks to ensure that we maintain cost and quality parity among projects with varying functional requirements and different site conditions at locations dispersed throughout the country. If all parties hold to the fiscal discipline that the cost benchmarking system encourages, we are confident that we can bring projects in on budget.
For example, in fiscal year 1998, we will complete seven courthouses, within their aggregated budgets. In the first month of fiscal year 1999, we will complete two more courthouses, on which we will come in $11 million under project budgets.
Need for and Scope of the Program
Ten years ago, the judicial branch undertook a survey of its facilities and determined that one-third of courthouses were grossly inadequate for their purpose, either because the space was inadequate to accommodate expanding needs or because of serious deficiencies in security or both. We have estimated the cost of the 160 proposed projects at about $8 billion. To date, we have completed 14 of the Judiciary's recommended 160 courthouses, with another 26 under construction or soon to be.
The Judicial Conference has produced a list of the projects in order of their priority and we have been using that priority list exclusively in determining the order in which we recommend funding and constructing the projects. Of course, our recommendations are subject to review and change as we go through the Administration's annual budget process; and the final funding decisions are up to the Congress, through this Committee, its counterpart in the Senate, and the appropriations process.
In determining the space requirements and layout of individual courthouses, we rely on the Design Guide produced by the Judicial Conference. Courthouses are complex buildings. To provide security, three separate circulation systems are incorporated into their design: one for judges, jurors and court personnel; another for defendants in custody; and a third for the public. Courtrooms are high-ceilinged to provide a sense of dignity and decorum and require carefully plotted sightlines and acoustics, while other courthouse workspaces are more typical office space; and the two types of space need to be meshed.
We have found that we can achieve about a 65-70 percent ratio of occupied space to circulation and service space in the courthouses. We insist on achieving a minimum of 67 percent in each project. We continue to investigate various layouts that might increase the proportion of occupied space. For example, in a few cases where the judges have agreed to "collegial floors" - grouping judges' chambers together on designated floors, with courtrooms grouped on other floors - we have not found that the layout generated cost savings. It may have another benefit, however: some judges prefer the layout because it facilitates conferring with their colleagues.
There are potential cost savings that we have not yet achieved. The most significant determinant in the cost of a building is its overall size. This single factor outweighs such visible items as the exterior cladding and the interior finishes. Accordingly, we would welcome the opportunity to work with the Judiciary to evaluate further how many courtrooms we need to build to accommodate the projected caseloads in new courthouses. Courtroom sharing and other strategies might allow us to reduce the building volumes and square footage, and thus the costs, that we need to provide in some locations. We need to clarify the options available to meet the Judiciary's needs for more courtroom space in a tight budget climate.
Design Excellence
We all recognize the importance of Federal courthouses in our system of justice, our society and our local communities. To quote remarks by Justice Steven Breyer, "Both in function and design, these buildings will embody and will reflect principles that tell the public who uses, or sees, them something about themselves, their government, and their nation." To that end, GSA strives to build courthouses that will have lasting value, courthouses that can take their place in the tradition of outstanding American public buildings begun by Washington and Jefferson and continued without interruption until the end of World War II.
In 1993, we established a "Design Excellence" program. The program ensures that we select the nation's best private sector architects to design our most important civic buildings. The program uses review panels of distinguished private architects to ensure that those selected give us their best efforts.
Our insistence is on building designs that are of lasting quality and dignity, because our construction standards produce buildings that will last for more than a century and probably for more than two. The court facilities that we are building are appropriate to the seriousness of judicial proceedings that take place therein. I have some photographs of courtrooms in some of the completed courthouses so you can see the layout and finishes. You can see for yourselves that the courtrooms are both functional and beautiful, inspiring without being overwhelming, grand without being grandiose.
Cost Benchmarking
GSA has a well-established, successful cost benchmarking process for new courthouse construction. As this Subcommittee has heard in previous testimony, a cost benchmark is a reference cost estimate which we use to judge the appropriateness of a proposed project's budget. In addition, benchmarks help unify our construction program nationwide by providing a method to compare project costs. Since 1995, benchmarking analyses have resulted in approximately $31 million in avoided expenditures for new courthouse construction.
The courthouses we are building today are being constructed within the budgets which were established based on the cost benchmark. Benchmarking provides for adequate budgets based on court design guide criteria.
Of course, from time to time, Members of Congress and judges object to our benchmarks on particular projects. In a few cases, for example, where we have felt that combinations of stone and precast concrete on the exteriors would provide appropriate quality and durability, we have been urged or directed to make the facades all stone, despite the fact that to do so has resulted or will results in expenditures of several millions of dollars over the benchmark budgets. We would welcome the Subcommittee's guidance on how such situations should be handled in the future.
We are now exploring ways to refine the cost benchmarking process. Currently, benchmarks account for the specific characteristics of individual buildings such as building height, geographic location, seismic design costs, and the amount of indoor parking. The process does not allow us to distinguish between courthouse projects with varying ratios of office space to more expensive special purpose space such as courtrooms. Consequently, a courthouse project with many courtrooms would have a cost benchmark identical to a project of the same size, in the same location, with fewer courtrooms and a higher proportion of office space. We are evaluating possible refinements to the benchmarking process which will allow us to calculate cost benchmarks according to the mix of office and special purpose space in a proposed building. Of course, if we decide to revise the current benchmark system, we will brief the Subcommittee before any new methodology is implemented.
Courthouse security continues to be of critical importance to all of us. GSA is now conducting risk analyses during design and construction of new courthouses and identifying appropriate security measures for each location. In Hammond, Indiana, for instance, the building is designed so that windows in judges chambers are not exposed to the nearby street to mitigate against the use of hand-held weapons.
Other creative and subtle measures, such as landscaping and street furniture, are being used to keep unauthorized vehicles away from the building. In Minneapolis, artwork commissioned for the project includes earthen mounds which separate the building from the street, while allowing easy pedestrian access to the courthouse. Many of our courthouse designs incorporate a plinth, a raised plaza, between the street and the building. This allows us to maintain an accessible, open presence in the community, while increasing building security.
Given the significant investment of taxpayers' funds that we are making, the buildings need to be as open and accessible as courthouses traditionally have been, consistent with our security requirements. We estimate that security concerns, increased since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, have added between 5 and 10 percent to the costs of the buildings we have in design.
Managing the Program
We have instituted a number of innovative techniques to manage this challenging construction program.
Project Management Center of Expertise: We have established a national Project Management Center of Expertise, with headquarters in our Heartland Region in Kansas City, Missouri. The Center will ensure that we look all over the country for the GSA managers most qualified to take on each new project. For example, we know that, of the remaining 120 courthouse projects, approximately a quarter will be in the southeast. Our Southeast-Sunbelt region will not be able to manage that workload using just the resources of its own project management corps. The Project Management Center will identify and assign managers from other GSA regions as necessary to staff this workload.
Training new project managers: To share "lessons learned" with new project managers, our Courthouse Management Group sponsored a training session in March for seven of our regional project managers who have courthouse projects in the design development phase. During the three days of training, the project managers received briefings on pertinent issues such as the congressional authorization and appropriation processes, benchmarking, security, design excellence, performance measures, and art-in-architecture. In addition, they met with officials from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to discuss issues of mutual concern. All of the participants considered the training session highly successful, and more such meetings are planned for this and future "classes" of project managers.
"Virtual Courthouses": While each new courthouse is under development, all of the participants on the project team learn invaluable lessons. Sharing this information with future designers, project managers, judges and other client representatives will help ensure the continued improvement in the quality and cost-effectiveness of the courthouse construction program.
One way to do this is by capturing computerized images of critical areas within each courthouse. This would allow new project teams to view spaces created in earlier courthouse projects. Individuals would be able to tour many courthouses?ot;virtual courthouses"?m their personal computers.
To accomplish this, our Courthouse Management Group will soon award a contract to document 12 recently completed courthouses across the nation. Courtrooms, chambers and associated spaces of various types, sizes, and designs will be photographed using a special camera. Once the photographs are scanned into the computer, the technology will allow the observer to view the space on the computer screen in every direction (up, down, and 360 degrees around) from a vantage point such as the judge's bench or a seat in the jury box.
It will also allow extensive information such as equipment lists and courtroom dimensions to be linked to the pictures. The photographs and associated background information will be placed on compact discs with the necessary operating software, for distribution to all those involved in the design of future courthouses. Each year, as additional courthouses are completed, they too will be documented in the same fashion.
Generally, during the design of a new courthouse, the project team will travel to completed courthouses across the country to determine how various design solutions might be applicable to the design of their own courthouse. By using these interactive photographs, the project team will be able to screen potential designs from their desks. The photographs could also reduce the need to prepare time-consuming and expensive mock-ups of proposed courtrooms.
Partnership with the Judiciary
We continue to have a strong partnership with both the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) and federal judges. Judges and the clerks of the courts are among our most demanding and discerning clients and we enjoy the give and take with them. We are committed to allowing our tenant agencies to participate wherever possible in the development of our projects and we are working with the Judiciary to make them more familiar with our processes.
The Judiciary developed a three-part series of courses on the construction process. The courses teach judges about programming, design and construction. In the classes, judges, clerks, and GSA project managers also learn together what to expect from each other.
Another example: The AOUSC has expressed concerns about the construction procurement strategies which the GSA employs to deliver our projects. In years past, we typically awarded court construction contracts to the lowest bidder. With the procurement reforms put in place by statute and regulation the past several years, we now look to award the contract which offers the "best value" to the taxpayers. We and the AOUSC are holding a series of round table discussions to reach a mutual agreement on the best contracting methods available.
Funding for the Remainder of the Program
Approximately $5 billion remains to be funded for the other 120 courthouses in the program. At the rate of $500 million per year, which is the rate at which the Judiciary had anticipated, ten years will be required to complete funding for the program.
Our projections of income to the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) over the next several years indicate that the Fund will have adequate resources to fund the capital repairs and modernizations necessary to keep our existing real property inventory functional and productive. Like any prudent real estate owner, our first priority out of operating funds is to maintain and improve the income-producing properties that we already have. However, this leaves little or no internally-generated funds for new construction.
In the past, recognizing this limited availability of revenues to fund new construction, Congress has appropriated funds to the FBF to provide for a construction program of the magnitude anticipated by the Judiciary in the courthouse program. Appropriations to the FBF for new construction between fiscal years 1990 and 1997 amounted to over $2.8 billion.
Given the cost of the Judiciary construction program, the Administration believes that we must redouble our efforts to ensure that these new landmark public buildings are designed and built as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Only by examining ways to reduce the overall number of courtrooms and the amount of ancillary space we need to build, by refining our benchmarks, and by holding firm to project budgets once they are set, can we assure the taxpayers that these needed buildings have taken advantage of every realistic opportunity to save costs. Towards this end, we look forward to working with the Judiciary to perform an appropriately-designed courtroom-utilization study and to seek other opportunities to ensure that these much needed public buildings are designed and built in the most cost-effective manner possible as we proceed with the construction program.
As you probably know, GSA's fiscal year 1999 appropriations bills as reported by the House Appropriation Committee includes funding for approximately $500 million in courthouse construction. This would provide funding for site, design, and/or construction of 15 projects.
Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to have had this opportunity to discuss the courthouse construction program with you. We appreciate the Subcommittee's continuing interest in our capital program. I would be pleased to answer any questions the Subcommittee may have.

"Peyton Manning-type time on the job," Jones said he wants Romo to work, via the Dallas Morning News. Jones said he and Cowboys coach Jason Garrett would love to see Romo spend the majority of his waking hours at the team facility. "If Tony, for instance, would be here Monday through Saturday . . . from seven in the morning to six o'clock at night all over this place then that's better than the way it's been," Jones said. "We'll have more success, and Jason believes that. It's certainly at quarterback but he believes it at the other positions. Tony is going to have more time, more presence, not only in the offseason but when the season starts, beginning Monday, assuming we played Sundays. He's going to have more time on the job. A part of what we agreed with was extra time on the job, beyond the norm." Read more: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-wants-tony-romo-to-work-like-peyton-manning/

New chapter, and damn is it a good one.
Percer can't cut Id, but it seems like he can't die either.
On another note, interesting translator name change: Percer to Perseus. Second name makes a lot of sense, as he was arguably the best hero of greek mythology (by way of him actually getting a happy ending while every other hero died horribly...)

You know it is kind of getting a bit annoying since we don't know why on Earth these Fragment of Chaos don't get hurt. Skill and power they fall short to Id, yet their vitality is what keeps them in a fight. What volume is this in the Korean Light Novel so far?

If you meant the Absolute Formation Technique (Yin/Yang thing he used on the mana stone) I don't think it's a weapon. Bonus chapters don't count, the writer admitted they differed from main story.

considering most Shounen follow beat bad guy, new bad guy appear,
hero and friends get beat, hero/friends trains/ get powerup,
hero fights bad guy again, hero barely beat bad guy with the help of friendship/justice/love,
new bad guy shows up, and repeat
is so much diffrerent from what happens in ID
yes ID is broken but he is a needed broken considering most of his opponents are pretty broken themselves. most people he has beaten are in the same power levels as most shounen mains are in the middle/at near the end of their manga. the newest chapter has him fighting someone who is as broken as him and is giving him a heck of a fight. I enjoy this because of the great fights, and artwork. i just seen the newest volume and can't wait for it to be scan because of all the stuff that happen.

You know, someone private message me when the story has progress slightly or something entertaining. Just read the new chapter and looks like it is on its final stage of the battle, but most likely it will continue.

Drake enlists Wu-Tang Clan for 'Wu-Tang Forever' remix
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio | Listen to Wu-Tang Clan on iHeartRadio
Drake is enlisting the Wu-Tang Clan for the remix of his homage to the rap group called "Wu-Tang Forever."
The track will appear on Drake's upcoming album Nothing Was The Same, which arrives on September 24th. Wu-Tang Clan member U-God tells Vibe.com that the entire group spent about four hours in the studio laying down verses for the remix.
The emcee claims that he only spent about 15 or 20 minutes writing his verses for the track. While U-God is happy with his verses, he says that if had more time to write, his verses would be "juicier."

I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that read: "Join a Hilarious Adventure of a Lifetime! Work, Buy, Consume, Die." It's funny because it's true…so it's also not really that funny. Reflecting on it a bit further, I find it to be a provocative comment on what seems to be the norm in modern culture, especially in the United States.
We go to school. If we're lucky, we get a job related to our degree and/or interests. Then we work for roughly forty years until we're able to retire, which (if I understand retirement commercials correctly) is the time of life we all look forward to, the time we really get to do the things we love, spend time with our families, and enjoy some peace and quiet for our remaining fifteen or twenty-ish years (and that's if we're statistically fortunate; the current average life expectancy in the U.S is only seventy-eight).
This meme got me thinking about how we choose to live our lives and from where we derive meaning. What are the things to which we devote the most time and energy? For most people, at least based on what I've observed, it's our job. We spend more hours at work than we do at home with our families, or relaxing, or enjoying hobbies, or in church.
I don't want to look back when (God willing) I'm pushing eighty and see a life full of work- or money-related stress, too little time off, and too much energy put toward material things that ultimately fade away. I don't want to live the life of the meme.
I want to do well in my work, sure; I want to be proud of what I accomplish, and I hope to accomplish something worthwhile. But ultimately, what I do for a living, what I buy with my money, and whatever successes or accolades I achieve (degrees, promotions, awards)—in the end, these things don't define me. I'm not saying that our actions don't shape or reflect our character; of course they do. But the "American Dream," or maybe I should call it the "Retirement Dream," is ultimately unfulfilling: work long and hard, save your money, settle down…and then what?
I recently read an article in The Atlantic called "There's More to Life Than Being Happy." The article tells of Jewish psychologist and neurologist Viktor Frankl who was sent to a Nazi concentration camp in 1942 and lived to write about it in his book Man's Search for Meaning. One of the major points of his book is that the difference he observed between those in the camps who lived and those who died was a sense of meaning. The article includes one quotation in particular from Frankl's book that resonates with me:
Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself—be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself—by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love—the more human he is.
As a Christian, my cause, my purpose, my meaning lies with Christ. But it's not just for me; I believe that meaning for all of humanity is found in Christ. It is our inheritance, freely given to us, in which we are created to participate. Everything else is secondary. And that, far more than any "American Dream" or narrative of hard work and success, gives me profound comfort.

Down 2-0 in the first, the Wright State baseball team scored in three straight innings, including three in the fourth, and held on from there for a 5-3 Horizon League win over Youngstown State Friday night at Nischwitz Stadium.
Like Thursday night's contest, the Penguins took an early lead with two runs in the top of the first, but, unlike that game, the Raiders came back to tie the score with single runs in the second and third. WSU's run in the second came on a Justin Kopale sacrifice fly and the run in the third was a result of a Kieston Greene double to right center, a Michael Timm sacrifice and a Garrett Gray ground out.
Wright State then took the lead for good with three runs in the fourth. Mark Fowler started the rally with a bunt single and after Jeff Limbaugh was hit by a pitch, both runners moved into scoring position on a Kopale bunt. Beau Phillips then smacked a double just past the third baseman down the left field line to drive in Fowler and Limbaugh and Cody Gardner followed with a hit through the left side to plate Phillips.
Youngstown State tallied an unearned run in the seventh, but could get no closer as Travis Hissong pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in that inning and gave up just a single in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season.
Starter Joey Hoelzel (1-2) earned the win, going 6.1 innings with five strikeouts.
Greene, Fowler, Limbaugh and Phillips each had two hits to pace the Raider attack.

Many thanks for posting that link, makes very interesting reading.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the information. I wish I understood it more. I asked the doctor about it several months ago, but she seemed to think my tumor was too big. I wonder how this treatment would work in conjunction with chemo.
Must ponder and then ask my doctor again.
Newfjam's husband was treated with chemo and radiation before undergoing PDT and is getting PDT every 3 months under a trial at the University of Virginia. Maybe something worth looking at?

Republican Women Push Conservative Principles During SA Conference
The Texas Federation of Republican Women has opened its biennial statewide conference in San Antonio, and, at a time when the Democratic Party has stated its goal of turning Texas from an overwhelmingly Republican state to a state where Democrats are competitive, TFRW leaders say one of their goals is to make sure that doesn't happen.
"One of our missions and goals is to get Republicans elected," Toni Ann Dashiell of the TFRW told 1200 WOAI's Berit Mason. "We want to education our members on who the candidates are, and we work to get those candidates elected, and we are very good at that."
The TFRW is at ground zero of the battle for the political soul of Texas in 2014. Democrats say gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis will have to peel off female suburban voters which have been the stalwart of the Texas GOP for twenty years if she is to have a chance of getting elected.
Dashiell is equally committed to making sure that doesn't happen.
"We have different events throughout the year, and get out the vote campaigns throughout the year, as well as efforts to train candidates, campaign managers, and volunteers."
The group will also show its support for the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), leaders of the new Republican conservative wing, will be featured speakers at the event, which runs through Saturday.
Dashiell says the TFRW is committed to conservative financial principles.
"We are trying to be fiscally responsible, and we do want a budget, a budget hasn't been passed for five years," she said. "We want to curtail our spending, but having that message get out there to the Republicans has been a little more challenging."

Results 1 to 2 of 2
First field league shoot this season
Well, I got my first field league in this year. Not a bad start but it's going to get much better.
Here the equipment specs:
Apex 7 set at 55#
Sure-loc Black Eagle .30 diopter (might go to more power)
Vibracheck CFX stabilizers
Trophytaker Spring steel
Easton Navigator 430 with 100gr tips
on the 14 target course, I shot 267 out of 280. I had one end that was horrible. I shot a 15. I could not beleive it. It's the first one of the year.
Anyway, the new Mathews is shooting awesome. I feel 270 is easily doable. My goal for this year is to hit or beat 275.
I usually set goals each year but they must be attainable. What I mean is if your a 250 out of 280 shooter, don't set a goal of cleaning the course.
Now hopefully the weather will stay good and I can get out and do some more shooting.Chris Christenson - Admin

Energy executive to discuss economic investment, growing jobs Nov. 8
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
Every day Clark Gillespy works to answer this question: How do we strengthen our communities and grow the economies within our region?
Gillespy, vice president of economic development at Duke Energy, will give a public talk Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the University of South Carolina about the importance of a sustainable energy future in recruiting new investment and increase job growth.
His talk, "Economics of a Sustainable Energy Future: Encouraging Investment and Creating Jobs," will be at 3:30 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium on the eighth floor of the Darla Moore School of Business. It is free and open to the public.
Gillespy also will discuss the leadership needed from businesses and students to create a more robust and prosperous global economy.
His visit is part of the University of South Carolina and Duke Energy's Executive-in-Residence Program, which is bringing to campus some of Duke Energy's top executives from the fields of energy and environmental policy, economic development, power distribution and delivery, communications and government and regulatory affairs.
USC Provost Michael Amiridis said the partnership with Duke Energy is an outstanding example of a public-private partnership to foster leadership and energy sustainability.
"As one of the largest power companies in the United States, Duke Energy has consistently demonstrated leadership in the area of sustainability," Amiridis said. "By inviting their executives to spend time on campus to interact with students and faculty, we expect to help our students and faculty expand their understanding of these complex themes and, hopefully, come away with an enhanced appreciation of the critical importance of leadership and sustainability for success in the global marketplace."
Gillespy said he is pleased to collaborate with USC on developing leaders for the energy sector.
"Duke Energy is investing billions to modernize its electric system to ensure that the communities we serve remain competitive for decades to come," Gillespy said. "Even in 2010, as the economy showed signs of a possible double-dip recession, Duke Energy's economic development efforts contributed $1.6 billion in new capital investment and more than 5,000 jobs in South Carolina alone.
"Our challenge, our goal is to ensure similar success in the future. Duke Energy must deliver reliable electricity at prices our customers can afford and do it in a sustainable way."
The Leadership in Sustainability Program is the first of its kind at USC.
The program continues through February with executives scheduled to visit the campus, speak to undergraduate and graduate students, tour research facilities, talk with faculty and administrators and deliver a public lecture. Each executive will be hosted by a college whose academic offerings match the visiting executive's background and experience.
Gillespy joined Duke Energy in 2004, bringing with him more than 20 years of economic development experience.
He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Alabama and an MBA from European University in Brussels, Belgium, a juris doctorate from the Cumberland School of Law and a degree in advanced international legal studies from the McGeorge School of Law in Salzburg, Austria. In addition to serving on numerous economic development organizations, he is a member of state bar associations in three states.
Gillespy is being hosted by the Darla Moore School of Business.

text: Uhm, The year I'm specifically talking about is Culpepper's career year in 2004, when he threw for 4700 yards and led the league in several throwing categories. Chris Carter had already retired. Randy Moss only caught 49 passes for 700+ yards because he was hampered with a hammy injury all year. The team's leading receivers were Jermaine Wiggins, Nate Burleson and Marcus Robinson. Yes, THAT Jermaine Wiggins, Nate Burleson and Marcus Robinson.

100 songs that changed history
Time Out explores the music that changed the course of world events
Breakdown of the songs that changed history
'I'd Like To Buy the World a Coke' – The New Seekers (1971)
Conceived by advertising exec Bill Backer after observing a group of people drinking Coco-Cola and laughing during an unexpected airport layover, Backer saw the fizzy drink as more than just a refreshment but rather 'a subtle way of saying, "Let's keep each other company for a little while."' Cheesy in the extreme, but the concept in the hands of songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenway ended up as The New Seekers' biggest hit. The accompanying hilltop commercial featuring a multi-racial group clutching cokes and singing in unison became instantly iconic and quickly spawned the reworked hit 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing (in Perfect Harmony)'. Ad jingles were hardly a revolutionary concept in 1971, but this song forged a lasting and profitable relationship between pop and commerce, paving the way for countless branded musical endorsements.
'The Sinking of The Reuben James' – Woody Guthrie
Flag-waving jingoism was simply not Woody Guthrie's bag. Famously 'This Land Is Your Land' was written in direct response to Irving Berlin's complacent and triumphalist 'God Bless America'. Yet when the USS Reuben James was sunk by a German submarine in 1941 (before the USA had joined WWII), Guthrie crafted this stirring tribute to the 88 dead crewmen, loaded with the implication that this was a national issue via the line 'did you have a friend on that good Reuben James?' Why? The man who displayed the legend 'This machine kills fascists' on his guitar may well have used the sinking as a focus for his own anti-fascism, but the effect was certain: to galvanise the American left into supporting intervention.
'Stonewall Girls' (to the tune of 'Howdy Doody Theme') – Stonewall Protestors (1969)
'We are the Stonewall girls/We wear our hair in curls/We don't wear underwear/We show our public hair' may not match 'The Red Flag' as a revolutionary manifesto, but this was the ballad that precipitated the great watershed moment for gay rights. Sung by Stonewall protesters as they faced off against New York's Tactical Police Force, it was set to the theme tune of creepy US puppet show 'Howdy Doody'. The improvised lyrics united campaigners in a positive spirit cemented by a chorus-line, high-kick routine, enraging the police so much that they rushed in and beat them. This violence ultimately galvanised broader public support for the protesters' cause.
'That's Life' as performed by James Brown at the Boston Gardens (1968)
Immediately following the assassination of Martin Luther King, cities across America were going up in flames as anguish gave way to rioting. Boston was a powder keg with a tiny fuse. To make matters worse for the city's mayor, James Brown was scheduled to play to 20,000 no-doubt livid fans the following night, April 5 1968. Fearing chaos, a plan was hatched to broadcast the concert live on television in an attempt to keep people off the streets. Such was the dynamism and power of the Godfather of Soul at the time, it actually worked. After a delayed start, he launched into 'That's Life' and proceeded to deliver a spellbinding show that actually united the city while others around it burned.
'Darling Nikki' – Prince (1984)
This was one of several tracks denounced by the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) for containing graphic lyrics of a violent, sexual or occult nature. Led by Al Gore's sassy wife Tipper, the PMRC saw rock and rap as 'infecting the youth of the world with messages they cannot handle'. In Prince's case, they had a point – we first meet the song's protagonist masturbating in public – but some of the PMRC's other targets were less judiciously selected (eg John Denver's easy listening classic 'Rocky Mountain High', one of Denver's state songs). After a Senate hearing in September 1985, the parental advisory warning (or 'Tipper sticker') was introduced to protect younglings' fragile little minds.
'Ohio' – Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (1970)
When the National Guard opened fire on a peaceful protest against Nixon's invasion of Cambodia, four Kent State students were dead and America was shocked and confused. As Devo's Jerry Casale, who was on the campus that day, said, 'the government and the press tried to lie about what happened as well as they could. The fact that anybody knows what happened is amazing because they did such a good job of muddying it up'. Step forward the counter-culture's own CNN. The band recorded this protest song, with no overdubs, the day it was written and soon after it was on the airwaves. The huge harmonies, Neil Young's trademark guitar crunch and that urgent coda of 'Four dead in Ohio' would keep this massacre seared onto the minds of a generation.
'The Theme From Barney & Friends'
What wits and wags the interrogators at Guantanamo were... From a sinister playlist that included Eminem, AC/DC, Queen and the charming 'Fuck Your God' by death metal band Deicide, the saccharine-coated theme from kids show 'Barney & Friends' ended up being the song most played by psyops teams as a form of horrifically loud, endlessly looped aural torture. Some artists, like Metallica, were happy that their music was being used to instil madness in untried prisoners. Since Barney wasn't available for comment, we're just going to presume he felt such a crass and cruel use of his theme tune was symptomatic of the amateurism and bungling incompetence that characterised the camp.
'So Sick' – Justin Bieber (2007)
In what looks like a town hall and in a video of handy-cam quality, a good Christian boy from Ontario, Canada, decked out in a crisp white shirt and tie, stretches his impressive 12-year-old lungs on a cover of Ne-Yo's slick R&B hit 'So Sick' to a room full of parents and friends who have no idea this kid is going to be an international megastar. While scouring YouTube, talent scout Scooter Braun discovered this video, and so began the phenomenon of viral video stardom. 'If Justin Bieber can do it, why can't I?' was the thought on everybody's minds. Forget 'X Factor'; this doesn't even involve leaving the house! Of course, it also helps if your rich parents throw a wad of cash at you, like Rebecca Black, who in February 2011 unleashed her auto-tune-heavy song 'Friday' on unwitting YouTube viewers. They were so disgusted by it – the video racked up 3,190,000 dislikes within four months compared to 451,000 likes – that they shared it with all their friends, and she ended up on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'.
'Zombie' – Fela Kuti (1977)
The brass-punched, good-time feel of this epic Afrobeat workout belies not only its serious political message but also its devastating repercussions. It's directly critical of a corrupt Nigerian government and accuses the military of mindless, zombie-like brutality against its own people. In retaliation for this, 1000 of General Obasanjo's soldiers attacked and burned down Fela Kuti's compound (his 'Kalakuta Republic'), including his house and recording studio, and beat him severely. His 82-year-old mother – a well-regarded anti-colonial activist – was thrown from a second-story window and subsequently died from her injuries. Fela Kuti was later inspired to launch his own political party (Movement of the People) and twice ran for presidency.
'The World Turned Upside Down' – Traditional (1643)Chosen by Bettany Hughes, research fellow at King's College London, fellow Of the Historical Association, New York Times bestselling author and TV/radio broadcaster
'This song is from 1643 and was a protest against Cromwell's Parliament attempting to ban the celebration of Christmas. It's really important because it's this fundamental protest saying that the state cannot tell people not to enjoy themselves. It told the powers that this is one of the most dangerous things that they can do. It was incredibly popular: people used to sing it together in pubs as a protest at not being allowed to drink and feast. Within a couple of years, the king was back, and maybe this inspired grassroots opinion that it wasn't such a bad thing to have a king as well as a Parliament.'

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
January is the month for white sales. A time to toss that old mattress — it's been how many years? — update the linens and shed those lumpy pillows.
Let's face it: Buying a new mattress can be a life-changing experience.
These modern-design beauties can run as high as $11,000 — and no, that doesn't include an engine.
A king-size mattress from The Hotel Collection by Aireloom at Macy's starts at more than $11,000, pre-white sale price, but that's what a piece of "plush paradise" costs.
For a little bit less, Macy's also sells the iComfort mattress by Serta ($4,499) which boasts a trifecta gel foam design for some triple-whammy comfort.
Macy's also sells the Stearns &Foster mattress (sale prices from $1,000 to $3,800) that sports a space-age titanium alloy coil system.
All this sounds so comfy. But maybe a new mattress is not in your budget, despite the sales. So change your life with a new mattress pad instead.
Considerably cheaper, mattress pads can add extra comfort without breaking the bank.
Some pads also protect against dust mites, such as the Robin Wilson Home Luxury Mattress Pad at Bed Bath &Beyond ($80). The pad features a 2-inch side wall for extra loft.
At Garnet Hill, you can spend a bit more on a Supreme Memory-Foam Topper pad ($158 to $238) topped with 3 inches of cushy memory foam.
Now for a linen upgrade.
For comforter covers and pillow shams, Pottery Barn is featuring palettes of swirling paisleys along with Juliana organic bedding in flannels and organic cotton sateens that can beautifully cover a Pottery Barn classic down comforter ($149 to $189).
Time for pillow talk.
The topic of synthetics vs. feathers can have people taking sides quicker than you can say Posturepedic.
Nordstrom offers both: a standard-size Westin Heavenly Bed synthetic-fill pillow ($45) or a Westin Heavenly Bed Feather &Down Pillow ($85 for queen, $95 for king).
Finally, you might top your bed off with a throw. Go simple with a Kennebunk Home "Hanover" throw of textured yarn from Nordstrom ($58) or totally top in luxury with a solid cashmere throw ($249) from Williams-Sonoma.
Ah, luxurious bed. Sweet dreams.

Alright whats up guys, I have been trying to figure out this problem for days and been pulling my hair. Hopefully you guys can help me.
Alright so I hope you all know how DNS works and how it points to an IP. I'm using ettercap for this so let me show you the diagram and then explain the problem.
We got a website called http://web-site.domain.net/connect/login.aspx
Okay so here is the problem... When I clone login.aspx using SET it creates the website: https://192.168.0.19 that looks like http://web-site.domain.net/connect/login.aspx
BUT! The problem is that when I spoof the domain: web-site.domain.net to 192.168.0.19 using ettercap, instead of it pointing to 192.168.0.19 it actually points to 192.168.0.19/connect/login.aspx instead!!!
NOW! I sadly cant configure ettercap because it only works through DNS and not directories, so I need a way to configure SET to actually host a specific directory rather than just one file.
BUT! Yes another but... I tried using the APACHE command in the set_config file and set it to ON, but some research should that it doesn't use APACHE in credential harvester SOO PLEASE!!! I'm out of options... Hopefully someone can help me and point me to that right direction. Thanks a lot guys!

Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in New York
Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in New York, NY
People commonly think of cosmetic surgery as being something done by Hollywood stars who are trying to elude the aging effects of time. Breast augmentation and tummy tucks are among the top five cosmetic surgeries performed in 2010 and they are all performed mainly on women. The other three surgeries that topped the list in 2010, nose reshaping, liposuction and eyelid surgeries are performed on both men and women. Cosmetic surgeries also include many non-invasive procedures that can help you look younger and feel better without dealing with long recovery times.
Schedule a free consultation today to discover what changes you can make using cosmetic surgery.
Board certified cosmetic surgeons not only perform well-known procedures such as breast lifts and facelifts, they also perform non-invasive procedures. The top five non-invasive surgeries done in 2010 include Botox treatments, soft tissue fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal and microdermabrasion. Botox treatments minimize the appearance of wrinkles while soft tissue fillers help replace the volume that naturally fades from hands and faces as the years go by. The results from fillers are immediate and the recover is immediate.
Chemical peels can decrease the appearance of acne and acne scars as well as liver spots, freckles, wrinkles and sun-damaged skin. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles and even out irregular skin pigmentation with a non-invasive procedure will leave you looking young and fresh again. Microdermabrasion can also be used to treat scarring and make the skin look fresh and young again. Discoloration can be cleared away and light scars can be eliminated as well as stretch marks. Microdermabrasion works like a sand blaster using micro particles to clear away the top layer of skin. Collages will be thickened in the process, leaving patients with fresh, youthful skin. The discomfort is minimal and there is no downtime required to this non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
Laser hair removal removes hair from your body safely and for extended periods of time. Schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon in New York and learn more on how you can look younger and healthier by taking advantage of outpatient procedures.
A youthful appearance and healthier skin can be yours without going under the knife for a full facelift. Other problems, such as heavy jowls and double chins, will however require actual surgery. The results will leave you looking years younger and feeling confident about your appearance again.
Men can also have plastic surgery performed to improve their looks and feel more confident every day. In addition to nose reshaping, liposuction and eyelid surgeries, men can also take advantage of breast reductions and hair transplants.
A New York board certified plastic surgeon are fully qualified to help men regain their youthful appearance by helping them restore their hairlines. They can also help them enjoy a masculine appearance again by performing liposuction and breast reductions. Plastic surgery is not limited to women or Hollywood starlets; anyone can enjoy the benefits and regain their self-confidence by having procedures performed by a board certified New York plastic surgeon.
Schedule a free consultation with one of the many plastic surgeons in New York. Some surgeries, such as facelifts and Rhinoplasty, are more invasive than other procedures such as Botox treatments. The only way to learn what is appropriate for you is to schedule a private cosmetic surgeon consultation.
Some surgeries, such as eyelid reshaping and eyelid lifting, can help make it easier to see as you age. Reconstructive surgeries can be used for webbed toes or fingers and other birth defects as well as severe wounds. Cleft lips, chronic infections and breathing problems can all be corrected through corrective surgeries performed by a board certified plastic surgeon in New York.
Plastic surgery is not limited to celebrities and stars; anyone can take advantage of a plastic surgeons skills and talents to look younger, feel better and regain their confidence.

Will Smith Gossip
Will Smith gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jada talks about Tupac
SMXRF/ Star Max/ GVK/ Bauer-Griffin/ Getty Images
Jada Pinkett Smith went on Howard Stern this week and most of the coverage has been about what she said about her marriage and the word "open". She said she's not his "watcher". That she trusts him. That they have a great relationship. And, yeah, he's attracted to other women but he loves her and he's mature. Full Story
Will Smith is Focus…but Hitch
The first trailer for Will Smith's upcoming Focus was released yesterday. He's a con man. Margot Robbie is his protégé. While watching the first 30 seconds, I was like, oh, this feels familiar. Then I realised, it felt familiar because he's basically the guy he played in Hitch; Focus just gets darker because criminals find themselves in more dangerous situations than love coaches. Full Story
The Suicide Squad features Harley Quinn and some other people

Last we heard of David Ayer's DC villain flick, whether or not Harley Quinn, the nutjob supervillainess from the Batman comics, would be included was still up in the air, and Jared Leto was in talks to play The Joker (lesser version 2.0). Yesterday, Warner Brothers announced the Suicide Squad lineup and yes indeed, Harley Quinn is coming to the big screen, and she'll be played by Margot Robbie. Full Story
Is Bad Boys III getting real?
Let's check in with Michael Bay, who's had a big summer with two awful movies performing mediocrely at the domestic box office, only to skate to success on the back of an expanding Chinese market hungry for any output at all! Hey Michael! How's it going, buddy? Been a good summer for you—somehow despite making two terrible movies no one likes you've made money! Michael Bay: [finger guns] Pew pew! That's good to hear. Full Story
Jada Pinkett Smith: Worst Oscar pink
Kevin Winter/ Kevork Djansezian/ Michael Buckner/ Getty Images
There was some pink at the Oscars…and all of it was sh-t, but the worst of the sh-t was Jada Pinkett Smith. It's Versace. I feel like we've seen it before. Or maybe it's because it looks like what Sofia Vergara wears over and over and over again. I hate it. I hate the colour, I hate the material, and I especially hate the way the sweep over the shoulder goes all the way down her back. Full Story
No divorce on New Year's Eve
GVK/ bauergriffinonline.com
Well, there might be one. But it probably won't be the Smiths. Here are Will and Jada at LAX yesterday leaving for Dubai, all smiles. There have been rumours for months that these two are done, that Jada's been unhappy and singing songs about leaving him, and that a split is imminent. Maybe…eventually? But not in 2013. Full Story
Will Smith cheats on Jada?
With who? Supposedly with Margot Robbie. She's the actress in The Wolf Of Wall Street who, for a while, was rumoured to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio which turned out to be bullsh-t because, well, Leo is strictly models. According to STAR Magazine – so immediately you know it's not true – Will and Margot are hooking up. Full Story
The red carpet "pattern" of the Smiths
Wenn, GSNY/ Splash
Oh look. It's Duana's new obsession, the Smith Family. Click here to read her post yesterday on Will and Jaden Smith's interview with Vulture. It's all about "patterns", see? On the red carpet, the parents wear bright colours while the children stick to black and white. Full Story
Will and Jaden like patterns
(Last night I emailed Duana about the Will & Jaden Smith Vulture interview. I heard from her an hour later: OH MY GOD. Like I'm not even through it and I only woke up because Libby barked and I checked email on phone and could not even get through it before I had to put it down to email you. Full Story
Ok, Jaden
Christopher Polk/ Getty
It's really hard to write about Jaden Smith. Here he is in Cancun, doing press for After Earth, the movie he made with his dad Will. Jaden is 14 and it's obviously not fair to judge Very Young Hollywood by the same standards I feel so completely free to judge Adult Hollywood. He's a kid. Full Story
How is this the same movie?
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are the people who made Crazy, Stupid, Love. Their next project is called Focus, and it was originally intended for their CSL stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Gosling couldn't work it into his schedule and Stone was only doing it to work with him again so they were subsequently replaced by Kristen Stewart and Ben Affleck. Full Story

About Margaux(mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

The highly anticipated official Season 3 run for Rick and Morty begins this Sunday, and with that in mind, the question of when animated TV shows geared toward adults took off in popularity came to mind as well. Of course, it can always be argued that people of all ages can enjoy TV cartoons, even if they are directed toward children. However, it seems in the past couple of decades a rich collection of "adult" animated TV series has been established, and that trend seems it will only continue.

When Wolfgang Petersen's Air Force One was released 20 years ago this week in 1997, it would be one of Boss Film Studios' very last visual effects projects before founder Richard Edlund shut the effects company's doors. The studio spectacularly delivered and destroyed a number of intricate miniature aircraft for the show. It also dived into several CG plane shots, including the scene of Air Force One crashing into the ocean, one that was perhaps not as spectacular.

WATCH: Sochi answers: Why do curlers scream?
Is that a bar fight? A Nascar race? An unusually aggressive pep rally?
No — It's Olympic curling! And there is screaming. So much screaming. Why? Well, it's simply how teammates communicate with each other as they guide the stones, sweep by sweep, to the bulls-eye.
But, for some, that's not immediately apparent:
How do people understand curling? Like actually... What is it? Why are they screaming? Are those swiffers? Aren't they cold in tshirts?
— Jennie McGowan (@jenniemac44) February 16, 2014
To understand the method behind the mayhem, one must first know the rules of curling. For starters, players aim to direct heavy, granite stones across a sheet of textured ice toward a target area called the house. (Consider curling a distant cousin of shuffleboard.) Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding the stones — also called "rocks" —toward the target. Each team has eight stones per end, which is curling's version of, say, a baseball inning. There are 10 ends in a tournament-style game.
That makes for about an hour of screaming. (Learn more with our viewers' guide.)
Usually, the team captain — known in the curling world as the skip — is calling the shots, yelling the commands. They must project to be heard down the ice.
The U.S. women's team made a handy explainer video that parodies the popular Ylvis song and answers the age-old question: What does the skip say?

Profar named Low Class A Player of the Year
By Hickory Crawdads | September 26, 2011 6:45 AM ET
Profar joins 1B Andrew Clark on Baseball America's Low Class A All-Star Team, while former Crawdads LHP Robbie Ross (High-A) and SS Jordy Mercer (AA) also made 2011 Classification All-Star Teams.
Profar, the 2011 South Atlantic League MVP, was also named to the SAL Annual All-Star Team after hitting .286 with 12 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season. Just 18 years old, Profar was tied for second in the league with 37 doubles and third with 86 runs scored. The doubles are the most ever in a single season by any Crawdad. The Willemstad, Curacao native also ranked among league leaders in on-base percentage (.390), slugging percentage (.493) and walks (64), while leading the team in numerous offensive categories.
Clark, 24, played in 103 games with the Crawdads before being called up to High-A Myrtle Beach on Aug. 14. The Indianapolis, IN native led the SAL with a .422 on-base percentage and was second with a .313 batting average, while slugging 12 home runs to go along with 24 doubles. His .904 on-base-plus-slugging percentage was good for fourth in the league as well.
Ross, 22, started 16 games on the hill for the Crawdads in 2010 and spent the majority of the 2011 season with the High-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans. With the Pelicans, Ross led the Carolina League with a 2.26 ERA, while going 9-4 in 21 games, including 20 starts. Ross walked just 28 batters in 123 1/3 innings and was second in the league with a 1.05 WHIP, before finishing the season and pitching in the playoffs with the AA-Frisco RoughRiders.
Mercer, 25, split the 2011 season between the Altoona Curve (AA - Pittsburgh) and the Indianapolis Indians (AAA - Pittsburgh). With the Curve, Mercer hit .268 with 13 homers and 48 RBIs in 72 games. He spent the 2008 season in Hickory, hitting .250 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 50 games that year.

- About Plattsburgh
Have time between classes but you don't know where to go to study? Need a place to work on a group project? Can't study for that exam in your dorm room?
The Learning Center's close proximity to the Angell College Center and the Feinberg Library makes us an ideal place for students to gather to study. All of your academic needs - from stationery supplies to research - can be accessed with just a brief walk. And inside the Learning Center, tables and chairs have been set up to encourage individual and small group study.
The Learning Center believes that learning does not happen only with a tutor or in a class. It is essential to attend and actively participate in all of your classes. And a tutor might help you understand a course concept or revise your essays. But, ultimately, learning happens through you and your efforts.
In order to support your learning efforts, the Leaning Center is open for your use as a study area throughout the semester. While open study hours change with each semester, if our doors are open, you are welcome to come in, settle yourself at a table, and work at your own pace through your course material. Small study groups are also welcome to use our area and the tables and chairs in the center.
While we encourage your use of our Learning Center as a study space, we ask that you remember that the Learning Center is a shared study space.
During the day, the Learning Center, Academic Advising, and ESL professional staff work in their offices inside the Learning Center. Tutoring sessions also run from ten in the morning until nine at night. And, since open study is open to every student on campus, other students will be working in the Learning Center on their individual and group projects.
All we ask is that you use some common sense guidelines of respect:
To use the Learning Center for open study, you do not need to make an appointment. Simply check out the Open Study Hours under Schedules.
And, at crunch time when you are studying for your final exam, we continue a Plattsburgh State University tradition. The Learning Center is open twenty-four/seven during finals week for both the fall and spring semester. Not only is our space open for student studying, the Learning Center, College Auxiliary Services, Chartwells, and the Student Association provide students with light refreshments (coffee, cocoa, and doughnuts). For more information watch for our flyers the first week of December and last week of April.

A landmark business on Harvey Street in Harbour Grace that has been catering to the health and medical needs of area residents for many years is swarming with firefighters at this hour.
The nearly 40 year-old building located in the heart of the town is home to Sinyard's Pharmacy and the Harbour Grace Medical Clinic.
At about 8:30 a.m. today (Feb. 14), employees detected an unusual odour in the building and quickly evacuated.
In short order, the building was filling with heat and smoke, and firefighters from Harbour Grace and Carbonear were on the scene.
The fire is now under control and smoke is being vented from the building, but efforts were continuing up to 10:30 a.m. to eliminate hot spots inside the walls that had been discovered by a thermal imaging device.
The busy street has been closed and the nearby Royal Garage vehicle dealership has been advised to curtail business for the remainder of the day, said Harbour Grace Chief Ray Verge.
The situation is especially troubling because the building accommodates the only pharmacy and medical clinic in the town, though sensitive medical records and a fully stocked pharmacy appears to have been protected.
The building is owned by Madonna Rose. She is also the pharmacist/owner of Sinyard's Pharmacy, having purchased the prominent business from Rex Sinyard four years ago following his retirement.
Rose watched with tears in her eyes this morning as smoke poured from the building, but stated "we'll be up and running again in no time."
The medical clinic, meanwhile, is operated by two well-known doctors, Lonz Button and Gerald Power. Both have been tending to patients in the town for about four decades each.
"All we can do now is wait," Dr. Button replied when asked what might become of the medical clinic.
Eight people are employed with the two businesses. Some eight patients were also in the medical clinic when the evacuation was ordered.
There were no injuries, though an ambulance was at the scene.
Chief Verge said it's too early to tell what caused the fire.
