AT&T is going to release the Nokia Lumia 1520 on November 22nd. The carrier is already taking pre-orders for the phablet which was originally priced $199.99 with a two year contract. For a limited time, the carrier has reduced Lumia 1520 price to $99.99 with a standard two year contract. The phablet is also available through the Microsoft Store and Redmond is offering free app credit with every purchase. AT&T's newly discounted price gives the carrier a leg up over the Microsoft Store. It should be kept in mind though that this discounted price is only available through AT&T's online store.
The reduced price is likely to entice customers who had been holding off on purchasing the Nokia Lumia 1520. AT&T's online store states that this is promotion is being run for a limited time only and is likely to continue until stocks last. There's no way of ascertaining when the online store will run out of stock, so its better to get your pre-order in if you're serious about picking up Nokia's new device. Earlier today we reported that some AT&T locations have already begun selling the Lumia 1520. Quite a few customers have already picked up units despite the fact that the official release date if November 22nd. One customer bought the Lumia 1520 off contract from AT&T for $540.

Steam broke my brain over the last week or so. It was just insane how many games were on sale and the prices where just crazy.
I didn't go too insane during this sale, but one game I did manage to pick up was Red Faction:Guerrilla. Why didn't any tell me that this game was out there? I was glued to my monitor for much of the evening just blowing shit up. What a surprise bucket o' fun this game is.
You are a miner on Mars who gets involved with the resistance again the EDF (Earth Defense Force) and your goal….for lack of a better term…is to be a terrorist and blow as many things up as possible. OK…it's not as hap-hazard as it sounds because you have specific things you need to blow up all over the map. Targets of interest are put in front of you and you are to bring it all down in a pile of rubble. You can't just go in and blow things up without reaction as the EDF gets a little ticked when TNT is put to their shiny buildings and towers. If you make too much "noise", patrols come in and try to find you. Yes…they actually start to look and it's creepy at times. At first, I was trying the usual de-aggro methods of just moving away a bit…hoping that the bad guys would get the classical gamey Alzheimer's, but that didn't happen. The AI was quite impressive (…so far…) at finding the terrorist responsible for making things go boom.
Another interesting part of this is how the buildings are blown up. I've taken a few Civil Engineering courses here and there…so I know a bit about forces on structures and all that jazz, but it seems the designers have taken some care when modeling how and why buildings collapse. It's just very satisfying to see a building still stand and then realize that the devs actually cared that…yes…you need to take out the supporting members in order to bring down a structure
The only downside is that this game is clearly a console port. You can always tell by the heavy need to use the keyboard for simple menu navigation. Lazy…lazy….lazy. Really guys…is it that hard to write a bit of code to recognize when a mouse hovers and clicks a menu item. Jesus. That would usually piss me off to no end, but thankfully the gameplay is fun enough to keep my mind distracted from this.
D out.

What were Zimmerman lawyers thinking?
April 14th, 2012, 12:00 am by Betty Talbert, letters editorORANGE, Shelly Aronson: Regarding recent events relating to the case of Trayvon Martin's shooting: George Zimmerman's former lawyers should be harshly disciplined for their unethical conduct for revealing client confidences. While I have no respect for Zimmerman, a gun-toting, trigger-finger "neighborhood watchman," I disrespect his former lawyers.
Both lawyers spoke to the press openly about problems with their client, disclosing confidential attorney/client privileged information, saying that they merely revealed information already known by other people. That's irrelevant, absent a waiver from their client. They also claim they revealed no actual privileged communications but only their impressions and no confidences between them and their client, which is nonsense.
They shared with the press myriad confidences; that their client "called the prosecutor and talked to [Sean] Hannity after they told him not to speak to anyone"; they portrayed their client as "erratic" and described "his emotional state as shaky"; they revealed that their client "had not returned any of their calls, texts or emails," and had "gone on his own." They said they were now no longer his lawyers because of his actions and failure to follow their advice.
An attorney's advice to a client, the client's disregard of that advice and a client's mental state, amount to confidential and privileged information garnered through the attorney-client relationship. All confidential communications must be protected and confidences maintained. A lawyer may resign from a case. However, he or she must do so in a way that completely protects the sanctity of that relationship and its confidences, regardless of what the client has done, said or is alleged to have done.

Lofts, homes a goal for Downtown Albany in 2012
Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:53:16 GMT —
You could say it's a New Year's Resolution for the Albany-Dougherty Inner City Authority (ADICA): Getting residential spaces in the area.
Albany Downtown Manager Aaron Blair says residential spaces â" including new lofts and saving historic downtown neighborhoods â" is their top goal for 2012. He says they are working with property owners with potential spaces for lofts.
Blair recently attended a Loft and Housing Conference to see what other Georgia communities and downtowns are doing. One main idea that he says came up was using incentives and tax credits.
"There's a lot of incentives out there for developers who want to do loft housing and especially in historic properties something that's on the national register there's a lot of things out there that maybe a lot of your normal people who own building might not know of all of the incentives out there," says Blair.
He says the mayor in Augusta utilized part of the hotel/motel tax to redevelop and restore an area which is now a "historic home tour." Blair says he is discussing similar strategies with City Manager James Taylor.
Also at tonight's ADICA meeting, members went into executive session about a developer interested in acquiring some property. Blair says no details can be released about the property at this time.

Linux+: Linux Install 02 – Linux requirements Although Linux has support for most hardware, each distro can be different. General hardware can be considered supported for all distros, such as: Keyboard Mouse Motherboard: PCI Motherboard: ISA Motherboard: EISA Motherboard: VLB Port: USB Port: FireWIRE Port: Parallel Port Port: Serial Port Others We can look at the hardware requirements for the following three Linux distros: Ubuntu CentOS Linux Mint NOTE: Each distro has a different requirement and even when a new version is released the minimum requirements can change. The requirements listed are the minimum. It is best to have hardware that exceeds the minimum requirements. There is a difference between required and recommended hardware needed. Required is the minimum needed for the Linux distro to function. The recommended hardware is what is preferred so the Linux OS functions better. For example, a required CPU speed of 700 MHz is required and may cause the OS to bog down. A system may have a recommended CPU speed of 1.5 GHz and will function much better with a CPU of this speed or higher. Ubuntu The following minimum requirements for the Ubuntu Desktop Edition are posted on the Ubuntu website at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. · 700 MHz processor (about Intel Celeron or better) · 512 MB RAM (system memory) · 5 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach) · VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution · Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media · Internet access is helpful for updates The minimum hardware requirements for the Ubuntu Server Edition (posted on the same page) is: · 300 MHz x86 processor · 192 MiB of system memory (RAM) · 1 GB of disk space · Graphics card and monitor capable of 640x480 · CD drive CentOS The following are the minimum requirements for Linux CentOS 6: · 2.4 GHz processor (recommended) · 1 GB RAM per CPU · 12 GB of hard-drive space · VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution · CD/DVD drive · Internet access is helpful for updates NOTE: Red Hat recommends a processor speed of 2.4 GHz or more. This is not the minimum, but documentation is scarce on this point. CentOS and Red Hat Linux are virtually the same. Linux Mint The requirements here are for the Linux Mint with Cinnamon and are as follows: · 700 MHz processor · 512 MB RAM · 5 GB of hard-drive space · VGA capable of 800x600 screen resolution · CD/DVD drive · Internet access is helpful for updates NOTE: It is best to try to exceed the minimum requirements when possible. When a system has the minimum requirements the system may seem slow. Slow systems can cause frustration when trying to perform too many tasks or run an intensive application. It should be noted that the system should be bootable from the CD/DVD drive. The ISO images of the Linux distros can be downloaded and burned to a CD/DVD and then booted from the burned disk. NOTE: Information on downloading ISO images can be found at the article Linux Install 01 – Types and Downloading. The above minimum requirements can vary for the type of system, especially servers. For desktop systems, a Linux Operating System (OS) that will be used to manage files such as pictures or videos would require a much larger Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Systems on which video editing and the like would most likely need a larger HDD as well as a higher resolution graphics card with a high amount of Video RAM (VRAM). Server systems can have more hardware requirements than necessary depending on their function. For most, more Hard Disk Drive (HDD) space is required and Random Access Memory (RAM). Examples are: Web Servers, File Servers, Database Servers and Mail Servers. Any Server would function better with a faster Network interface Card (NIC) which is supported by the cabling. For Wireless networks a higher bandwidth Wireless device would help achieve better efficiency. Print Servers would require a specific number of printer connections unless the printer is connected directly to the network and not a server. Any server which requires a lot of throughput would be better to have a faster Central Processing Unit (CPU) as well as more RAM. NOTE: It seems that servers with a high number of clients accessing it operate better with more RAM and possibly a faster CPU. Servers such as a CD/DVD Server would require a specific number of slots for adding CD/DVD drives as well as connections to the motherboard. In this case, Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) (or another link here)would allow for a higher amount of devices to be attached, even if external. NOTE: There are CD/DVD towers which is a stand-alone housing for SCSI devices which has a NIC and can be connected to the network to allow sharing of a large amount of CD/DVD drives.
If I understand what you are asking, the server does have less hardware requirements. This is due to the server not requiring a GUI or the need to have a user running apps local on it. Depending on the requirement of the server and the number of clients, the hardware may need to be more powerful. In a company setting with hundreds of users, the server should definitely be more powerful. For a small business with a dozen or less client systems, the server does not need the power to support the few client systems. I hope this clears up the matter. If not, please let me know.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Increase Productivity by Increasing Efficiency
If you can measure it, then you can manage it. MERLIN solves the last meter of connection to any machine.
What is OEE – Overall Equipment Effectiveness?
OEE is a statistical measurement used to determine how efficiently a machine is running. It helps the user identify problems fast, before production or quality suffers, with real-time monitoring. It measures the machines' actual run time, the quantity of parts produced, the quality metric, and the actual rate of production.
OEE = Availability x Quality x Performance.
Imagine having full visibility of your shop floor and seeing the increased productivity and profitability as it happens in real-time. An OEE solution can improve manufacturing efficiency typically between 10% – 50%.
Memex Automation's MERLIN OEE solution is compatible with all and any machines (CNC, non-CNC, PLC, presses, injection molding etc.) and is a proven, cost-effective, and practical solution.
Memex understands the need to be more competitive and get the maximum throughput with your machine assets in manufacturing. To be able to "visualize" how your machines are operating allows you to react quickly to situations. Measuring what actually happens on the shop floor allows you to fine tune your processes using LEAN manufacturing techniques. The Theory of Constraints principle monitors and identifies a constraint, and by reducing the operator's data collection overhead using automatic and accurate tracking systems, it improves operator productivity and satisfaction by helping them perform faster.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the key performance indicator that drives the machine monitoring process.

Features of OEE include:
- Real-time production visibility for everyone in the plant
- Including alerts through email or text
- Production data collection and reporting
- Downtime and reject cause analysis
- Labor productivity tracking
- Usage-based preventative maintenance
- Visual production scheduling

- Software for plant wide metrics
- Handhelds, scanners, bar codes, marquees, light trees, devices etc.
- Real-time connection to machines
- Over 400 data elements collected
- Comprehensive reporting in 8 ways
- Reports, web, email alerts, real-time dashboard, cycle charts, KPI's, down/reject, schedule)
In addition to enabling increased productivity, it is:
- Cost effective
- Practical and proven
- Expandable
- Plant-wide, enterprise enabled
- Compatible with all machines – CNC, non-CNC, PLC, presses, injection molding etc.
- An accurate key performance indicator with OEE metric
The Benefits of OEE:
- Able to identify problems fast
- Eliminate the non-productive labor and errors of manual data collection
- Present and format data your way – custom reports and exporting data
- Determine real job standards to help improve your job costing process
- Analyze causes for Downtime and Rejects — then eliminate them
- Real time knowledge of what is happening on the shop floor
- Usage-based preventative maintenance minimizes job interruptions
- Visual, "drag and drop" production scheduling
- Respond quickly to changing shop floor conditions
- Paperless strip chart shows detailed machine operating history
- Chart machine rate, cycle time and process variables
- Record and analyze real-time and historical performance/productivity/OEE
- Graphically display manufacturing productivity with OEE
- Use e-mail notification to alert appropriate personnel to potential or actual problems
- Monitor production schedule remotely in multiple locations with Web Job Queue
- View individual machine status of every job on every machine in every plant – in real-time – on your web browser
- Real-time process variable monitoring prevents problems from occurring
- Analyze operator and maintenance performance
- Record production totals, rejects, run time, downtime and calculated efficiencies by operator ID
Smart Equipment = Smart Factories = Profitability
Make every factory machine into a node on your corporate network. Every machine can be IP addressable and a secure node on the corporate network. The information about the machine and production, including history, can be available on your network and embedded web connectivity can provide Intranet or Internet Access to real time factory data.

The Nawab's look in zombie flick Go Goa Gone is out. He looks like an absolute toughie in the first look pictures of the film
Saif Ali Khan is experimenting with his offscreen looks and how! While in Go Goa Gone he gets into the garb of a Russian mafioso, in Bullet Raja – which is a hardcore gangster-thriller, he opts for a middle-class, casual style in his faded checked shirts and long hair.
A gun slung over his shoulder, the leather jacket bringing his adventurous side to the fore; Saif's style is an interesting mix of a gangster look and a hardcore hunter statement.
Adding to his raw style is the tattoo on his neck. The design of the tattoo lends a very satanic feel to his look. Saif will be seen opposite Former Miss India Universe Puja Gupta in the film. And will he be hunting down zombies or will he transform into a zombie himself? Well, we will have to wait to discover more about this flick…

PROVIDENCE – The Associated Press honored seven Rhode Island broadcasters in its annual Massachusetts/Rhode Island contest this year, including WPRI-TV CBS 12, which was named News Station of the Year for the Providence market the seventh consecutive year.
"I'm most proud of the 'Station of the Year' award because it shows a real team effort," said Joe Abouzeid, news director at WPRI and sister station WNAC-TV Fox 64. "Winning this award for an unprecedented seven straight years is really special, and we are thankful."
The News Station of the Year award is presented each year to the top TV or radio station among the AP's members in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Stations are judged on quality and consistent contributions to AP news reports.
In addition to Station of the Year, WPRI won four other awards: Best Newscast, for Eyewitness News at 11; Best Continuing Coverage for "Government Waste," a Target 12 series; and Best Feature Reporting and Best Feature Videography for "Street Stories – Bocce."
Winning five AP awards for the first time in its history was Rhode Island public radio station WRNI-AM 1290, the state's National Public Radio affiliate. As recently as four years ago, the station had no reporters at all, and now it has five, said Joe O'Connor, WRNI's general manager.
"This reflects the investment we have made in covering local news with the same standard that National Public Radio employs for its national and international coverage," he said. "The awards "reflect the rebuilding of our newsroom. … It is great to have The Associated Press recognize the work we have done."
WRNI won Best Continuing Coverage for "Health Care Reform"; Best Hard News Feature, "Newport's Homeless Students"; Best Feature Reporting, "A Different Kind of Ballet Class"; Best Use of Sound, "Foster Parrots"; and Best Public Affairs Reporting for its Political Roundtable segment on Friday mornings.
"I am proud of our reporters," said Anthony Brooks, WRNI's news director. "I have been in this business 30 years, many of those years with National Public Radio, and I've never worked with reporters who are this good."
The awards were presented in April but the full list was not available until now. Other local winners were:
WPRO-AM 630 for Best Breaking News, "Boat yard fire"; Investigative Reporting, "R.I.'s Dirty Little Secret"; and Best Newscast.
WLNE-TV ABC 6 for Investigative Reporting, "Dream Makers," and Best Hard News Feature, "Made in Rhode Island Kettlebells."
WJAR-TV NBC 10 for Best Website for turnto10.com.
WHJJ-AM 920 for Best Talk Show, "The Helen Glover Show."
In the college division, WBRU-FM 95.5 took home four awards: Best Continuing Coverage, "Closing R.I. Prostitution Loophole" ; Best Website, wbru.com; Best Sports Feature, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" ; and Best Sports Program, "The Sports Rundown."

06-20-2013, 01:11 AMIt's funny you mention chocolate. My sister once attended an elementary school where the black kids got white milk and the white kids got chocolate milk. Well, my sister was always weird (I can say that being her sister. lol). She always wanted white milk instead of chocolate. Some black kid accused her of being a racist. Kids.
This subject is all about how you look at it. Pro-choicers see this subject as being able to help the poor. The rich and middle class can obtain abortions if Roe was overturned and it went to the states. No problem. The poor people are the ones who might resort to more dangerous methods.
The way pro-lifers look at this is to say that abortion has brought about the deaths of several black babies and other minorities (i.e. genocide).
Thing is a lot of the black people are poor. The long term solution to this problem is to help poor people get out of poverty and to offer them resources in the meantime. Yes, abortion should be illegal, but we need to help people get out of poverty.
Someone tell this nitwit that if it weren't for white people Bronco wouldn't even be President.
Godwin's Law=Nazi. So from now on when you mention racist it's Barry's Law and you've lost the argument. I'll also accept Hussein's Law. Or Barry Hussein's Law. Or Bumbler's Law.Be Not Afraid.

The Luce Center plans to keep "Ghosts" around even after its grand finale on October 25. The museum has commissioned a version of the game that a group of visitors could play on-site in one afternoon.
McGonigal says ARGs work best when players solve real problems. That should bode well for ARGs based at museums, since, she adds: "Any museum is going to have some unsolved mysteries."

The solution to end the violence that has led to thousands of Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar for Bangladesh rests with the Myanmar government, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni told Arab News in an exclusive interview yesterday.
She said her country has raised the plight of Myanmar refugees in the OIC and the UN, but the issue is an internal matter that only Myanmar is able to solve. "(The) solution lies where the problem exists, and the solution has to be found within Myanmar."
The Rakhine state of Myanmar has been wracked by sectarian violence. An estimated 500,000 Muslim refugees have crossed the border into Bangladesh, but only 29,000 are in the country legally. Rohingya Muslims have been the target of Buddhist-led attacks and their killings have been described by human rights organizations as ethnic cleansing.
Moni said the continuing attacks have taken a financial toll on Bangladesh since the influx of Burmese refugees has continued for the last three decades. She said her country is providing health care and education to all refugees.
She added that although her country is not a signatory to the convention relating to the status of refugees, Bangladesh has taken a humanitarian approach to the Burmese refugee problem.
"With our tragedy in 1970, where 10 million Bangla-speaking refugees took shelter in India, we have suffered enough and can understand the plight and pain (of the refugees)," Moni said.
At entry points where refugees have been denied entry, the Dhaka government provides fuel for boats and food while the government continues to negotiate with Myanmar.
Moni said Bangladesh is willing to handle the rehabilitation of refugees upon their return to the co untry.

The 76ers have received permission to interview Houston assistant Kelvin Sampson. However, if they are going to talk to him they had better do it quickly as Sampson has already drawn a lot of interests from other teams.
Charlotte and Milwaukee have already interviewed Sampson. Considering that those teams already have started interviewing candidates (as has Detroit as well), it's safe to say that those teams are probably further along in the process than the Sixers, who finally made some offseason news on Tuesday when they introduced former Houston assistant general manager as president of basketball operations and general manager.
Hinkie didn't say how he felt about Sampson as a coach. However, I spoke with some people in Houston who cover the Rockets and the consensus is that Hinkie thinks highly of Sampson and will probably have him in quickly for an interview.
Another name that Hinkie is probably going to look at a little longer is Utah assistant coach Jeff Hornacek. The one-time Sixer has been targeted by a number of teams and has some interviews set up already.

The arrested include the UAE national's mother - a local Muslim woman living in the district, her second husband and a cousin of the 17-year-old girl. They have been charged under sections of the Juvenile Justice Act and also for abetting an unlawful marriage.
Police also took a statement from the girl, who said she was misled into the marriage.
State Human Rights Commission member K.E. Gangadharan, who met up the victim Tuesday, had directed the director general of police and the state social welfare board to conduct a probe.
The Class 12 girl alleged that she "married" the UAE national June 13 in Kozhikode district under pressure from a 'Yateem Khana (Muslim orphanage)' that helped in her upbringing after her father's death.
After their marriage, they spent time in resorts in and around this district but her "husband" then suddenly left the country, the girl alleged.
Meanwhile the chairman of the Orphanage Control Board P.C.Ibrahim told reporters Wednesday that a show cause notice has been served on the orphanage in question on why action should not be taken against them.
"It has come to notice that the marriage was not done according to norms. We have given them a week's time to reply to our notice and after hearing from them, the law will take its course," he said.
Police investigations revealed that the UAE national's father was also an Arab but his mother was a local woman, who lives in the district.
More people are expected to be booked in the coming days, said police.

Lent: March 18th
Optional Memorial of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, bishop, confessor and doctor
» Enjoy our Liturgical Seasons series of e-books!
Old Calendar: St. Cyril of Jerusalem; Our Lady of Mercy (Hist)
Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem, was banished from his see on three occasions. With St. Athanasius and others, he belongs to the great champions of faith in the fight against Arianism. Famous as a teacher and preacher, he has left a series of catechetical instructions that constitute a priceless heirloom from Christian antiquity. Of the twenty-four extant discourses, nineteen were directed to catechumens during Lent as a preparation for baptism, while five so-called mystagogical instructions were given during Easter time to make the mysteries of Christianity better known to those already baptized.
Historically today is the feast of Our Lady of Mercy. Stational ChurchSt. Cyril of Jerusalem
Cyril of Jerusalem was given to the study of the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and made such progress that he became an eminent champion of the orthodox faith. He embraced the monastic institute and bound himself to perpetual chastity and austerity of life. He was ordained priest by St. Maximus, Patriarch of Jerusalem, and undertook the work of preaching to the faithful and instructing the catechumens, in which he won the praise of all. He was the author of those truly wonderful Catechetical Instructions, which embrace clearly and fully all the teaching of the Church, and contain an excellent defense of each of the dogmas of religion against the enemies of the faith. His treatment of these subjects is so distinct and clear that he refuted not only the heresies of his own time, but also, by a kind of foreknowledge, as it were, those which were to arise later. Thus he maintains the Real Presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in the adorable sacrament of the Altar. On the death of Patriarch St. Maximus, the bishops of the province chose Cyril in his place.
- Read part of St. Cyril's Catechetical Lectures On the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is very fitting meditation material for Lent.
Our Lady of Mercy
Devotion to the Virgin of Mercy dates back to the time of the founding of Lima. It is known that the Mercederian friars, who came to Peru with the conquerors, had already built their primitive convent chapel around 1535. This chapel served as Lima's first parish until the construction of the Main Church in 1540. The Mercederians not only evangelized the region, but they also participated in the city's development, building beautiful churches that have been preserved as a valuable cultural and religious patrimony.
The Station is in the church of Sts. Peter and Marcellinus, two celebrated martyrs of Rome under the persecution of Diocletian. Their relics were brought to the church in 1256, and the church was restored the same year on order from Pope Alexander IV.

This election proves to be an important one locally. We'll decide our next sheriff, whether Colorado Northwestern Community College will continue to receive our tax dollars, and how much support we're willing to give the Craig Rural Fire Protection District in safeguarding our homes and businesses.
The Craig Daily Press does not endorse candidates who are running for office. We have, however, endorsed some local ballot questions, of which we'd like to refresh your memory.
Fire district
Craig Rural Fire Protection District is asking voters to approve a 1.5 mill-levy increase for the purchase of equipment vital to the department's operations.
The department is requesting -- for the third time in five years -- a tax increase for a 10-year capital improvement plan.
An approved mill levy would raise about $350,000 per year.
Residential and agriculture property owners currently pay $15.90 annually per $100,000 of assessed value and would pay $27.86 annually if the fire mill levy were approved.
Business owners' taxes would increase from $57.92 to $101.42 a year per $100,000 of assessed value.
Is that unreasonable? We don't think so.
That's why we encourage you to vote "yes" on 4A for our fire department, and for our own safety.
Community college
CNCC's Craig campus' 3-mill levy sunsets in three years. But, officials want to know now whether they'll have funding in a few years. So they are asking us now to extend it indefinitely.
We think that's a great idea, and one for which you should vote "yes."
Property owners -- residential and agriculture -- currently pay $23.88 per year for each $100,000 of assessed value. Business owners dole out $87 per year for each $100,000 of assessed value.
If the mill levy passes, the cost for higher education would remain the same for an indefinite period of time.
We think that's pretty reasonable for a college that brings so much economic success to our community.
You can't put a price on an educated community and a college that stabilizes our economy. Local tax money is critical to the college's success, and we encourage residents to vote "yes" on CNCC's request Nov. 7.
City charter
The Craig City Council is asking voters to approve proposed changes to the city's charter, which was last amended in 2003.
We can't see any reason why not to.
The main changes proposed are: allowing the council to set salaries for members starting the next term and the mayor, giving the city manager authority over day-to-day operations and the mayor presenting a "state of the city" address each year.
The proposed changes also delete outdated items and provide references to new laws.
The 50-year-old city charter needs updating, and with a committee of both residents and City Council members, we think they've done a good job.
We encourage you to vote "yes" on 2A and bring Craig's charter up to date.
Use your right
Tuesday's election is just around the corner, and we hope you're ready. If not, we urge you to stop by the Moffat County Clerk and Recorder's Office in the Moffat County Courthouse and get the information you need to make an informed decision.
Voting is a right we don't take lightly, and one we hope to see you take seriously Tuesday.

Avalanche Farm Report: Jan. 3
by Kyle Shohara / Colorado Avalanche |
Spotlight On: Luke Moffatt
Luke Moffatt (University of Michigan) was named one of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's Players of the Week, ending January 1, 2012. Moffatt was named the Postgame Offensive Player of the Week after recording a team-high three points (1g/2a) in the tournament to help the Wolverines capture the Great Lakes Invitational championship held at Joe Louis Arena. The 19-year-old scored a power-play goal against Boston College and earned a season-high two assists in a 3-2 win over Michigan State. The 6-0, 198-pound sophomore from Arizona also put eight shots on net during the tournament. Moffatt has 10 points (4g/6a) in 21 games this season. |
The Monsters enter 2012 on a season-best three-game winning streak. Winners of three straight and five of their last seven, the Monsters have risen over the .500 mark for the first time this season (16-15-1-1).
A brief look into the team's last three games (all victories):
December 28, 2011 – 6-5 OT win vs. Grand Rapids
Rookie defenseman Tyson Barrie had a three-point night (1g/2a) – his goal serving as the game-winner in overtime.
Evan Brophey tied a franchise record with four assists (0g/4a).
Justin Mercier had a multi-point night (1g/1a).
December 29, 2011 – 2-1 win vs. Toronto
The Monsters are 4-2-0-0 against the Marlies this season, 3-0-0-0 at home (Quicken Loans Arena).
Zach Cohen earned his first point of the season (assist) and finished a +1 on the night.
Trevor Cann saved 25-of-26 shots to improve his record to 7-10-0-0.
December 31, 2011 – 3-2 shootout win at Hamilton
Tyson Barrie, now the Monsters' leading scorer with 20 points (4g/16a), won the game with a decisive shootout goal.
Zach Cohen tallied two more points (1g/1a) and finished a +2 on the night. Cohen has three points (1g/2a) and is a combined +3 in his last two games.
Patrick Bordeleau tallied his first goal of the season and finished a +1 on the night.
Speaking of Tyson Barrie…
December was a month to remember for the rookie defenseman. In 12 games played in the month, Tyson Barrie tallied 10 points (2g/8a), including two three-point games (1g/2a … 12/5 at Charlotte and 12/28 vs. Grand Rapids). Barrie had two game winners: An overtime tally on December 28 vs. Grand Rapids and a shootout clincher on December 31 at Hamilton.
In addition to leading the Monsters with 20 points (4g/16a), the 20-year-old also paces all AHL rookie defensemen in scoring.
Despite a disappointing 3-2 loss to Northeastern in the Mariucci Classic championship on December 31, the No. 2-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers are still 15-6-1 overall and its goaltender, Kent Patterson, is having a breakout year.
The senior beat Niagara on December 30, stopping 20 of 21 shots that came his way. Although he gave up three goals on 27 shots in a December 31 game against Northeastern, the Avalanche prospect ranks among the nation's leaders in several categories.
Patterson leads the nation in minutes (1,323), wins (15), and shutouts (6) and ranks tied for first in games played (22).
He also set a school record with six shutouts through the first 20 games of the season. Patterson sat down with GopherSports.com to talks about his accomplishment.
Fellow Golden Gophers teammate, Nate Condon, contributed on both of the team's goals in the Mariucci Classic championship held on December 31. The sophomore had a goal and an assist in the contest. Condon ranks seventh on the team in scoring with 16 points (6g/10a) in 22 games. He's also a +7 on the season.
Kieran Millan (Boston University) made 29 saves in a 5-2 loss to Notre Dame in a New Year's Eve tilt. Despite the loss, Millan still sports an 8-6-1 record with 2.85 goals-against average and .913 save percentage.
Calvin Pickard has won three of his last four starts and five of his last eight. In his last four starts (3-1-0), Pickard has stopped 140-of-160 shots (.959 Sv%).
Troy Rutkowski (Portland Winterhawks) earned an assist in Portland's 2-0 victory on December 31. His assist increased his point total to 21 (6g/15a). Rutkowski's six goals rank tied for second among Winterhawks defensemen.
Garrett Meurs accomplished a personal feat achieved only once before. Meurs' four-point night (0g/4a) in Plymouth's 7-3 win over Saginaw on December 30 came a little more than two years after his first career four-point night against the same club during his rookie campaign. Meurs tallied a goal and three assists on December 12, 2009, in an 8-0 victory over the Spirit. Both of his four-point nights occurred in December - at home - against the Saginaw Spirit.
Meurs has 35 points (15g/20a) and sports a +16 rating through 36 games this season. He's just six points away from tying his career high with the Whalers (Meurs had 41 points (10g/31a) in 68 games last season).
Stephen Silas (Belleville) had a three-point night (0g/3a) in a 6-5 win against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on December 29. Silas continues to pace Bulls defensemen with 20 points (2g/18a) and 45 penalty minutes through 35 games.
Gabriel Beaupre (Val-D'or) wrapped up a productive month of December. The 2011 draft pick finished the month with a six-game point streak (still active), tallying nine points (0g/9a) during that span. Beaupre also had points in nine of 11 games last month (2g/10a), increasing his point total to 15 (3g/12a) in 35 games. His 60 penalty minutes rank second on the Foreurs.

Hale: In need of a lice support group
I've heard it described many ways: gross, dirty, terrifying.
But however you define it, one thing's for certain: lice drains you of more than just blood. My husband and I were unprepared when we discovered the tiny, microscopic bugs crawling in our boys' hair.
It was a Friday night and my youngest complained of an itchy head. The minute the words left his lips, my stomach turned, my anxiety spiked and I immediately marched him to the brightest room in the house, the master bathroom. With the finest comb I could find, I went searching for bugs. I had no idea what I was looking for, being a lice virgin and all, so I barked at my husband "Google it!"
I should mention, my husband didn't seem to share the same sense of urgency and dread that I was feeling.
Then, as if in slow motion, he walked into the bathroom, iPhone with magnified image of louse in hand, at the exact moment that I dislodged a moving creature from the comb that I'd just run through my son's long hair.
Oh no...We have lice!
The thought of selling the house really fast crossed my mind. But then I realized I'd have to take them - the kids and their lice - with me. So I developed a workable plan.
"Husband, go buy all the lice poison off the shelf at CVS." Off he went, still not quite as quickly as I would've liked. For a brief moment, I wondered if he would really come back.
"Children, get in the bathroom, on the tile, for the lice check. No, you can't leave this room. We will wait here for dad to come with the poison. Yes, it's totally safe. Here's my iPad. Wait, let me move the rug before you sit down. OK...watch Netflix and wait for the child-safe pesticides. Yes, everyone. Even if we don't find bugs. We all have to be treated. Just in case."
After the initial shock, after a weekend of treating ourselves with poison and scalding water and tea tree oil and more poison, after cleaning EVERYTHING in the whole house, really, everything, I was still a bit scared.
You see, lice have a two-week life cycle and the females can lay dozens of eggs before they die and the eggs are hard to detect and even harder to kill, even with poison. So I was terrified they would come back, and worse, they'd be ticked off at my efforts to extinguish them.
I'll admit, I was more than just scared. I was paranoid and raw.
Lice are parasites that drain you of physical energy and emotional stability, leaving shame and fear in its place. A few weeks removed from the triggering event and still bruised, I am hopeful we got them all, (knocking on wood with crossed fingers as I type this). We are still using the lice-blocking shampoo and the lice-shielding spray, just for good measure.
But I'm here to tell you, if it happens to you, just know you aren't alone. You will get through it, and you will not need to sell your house. And, believe it or not, you will be stronger at the end of it. At least that's what the survivors in my support group tell me. Baby steps.

McIlroy Loses to Augusta Member on Third Day of Masters
Michael ButeauRory McIlroy, the former world No. 1 golfer who came to the Masters Tournament seeking a third major title, was outscored by an amateur member of Augusta National in today's third round.
McIlroy, who entered the tournament tied with defending champion Adam Scott as the oddsmakers' co-favorite, was the 51st and final player to make the 36-hole cut. With an uneven number of players left in the field, McIlroy was sent out today with club member Jeff Knox, 51, who played along with the Northern Irishman as a non-competing marker.
The No. 9-ranked player in the world had a 1-under-par 71, one shot more than the amateur.
"I thought he was going to be nice and three-putt the last and we would have a halve, but he beat me," McIlroy, winner of the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship, told reporters. "He played just like he should be playing in the Masters."
A non-competing marker is used in the tournament to help with pacing and to keep the professional's score. Knox, who holds the course record of 61 from the members' tees at Augusta National, has been used as a marker 10 times at the Masters.
Reading Putts
"He obviously knows this place so well," McIlroy said. "I don't think I've ever seen anyone putt the greens as well as he does around here. He was really impressive. I was thinking of maybe getting him to read a few of my putts."
Knox, the 2008 and 2009 Georgia Mid-Amateur Champion, is executive director of the Knox Foundation trust in Thomson, Georgia. His father, Boone Knox, was also an Augusta member. Knox didn't speak with reporters after his round.
McIlroy, 24, had birdies on the 17th and 18th holes, and received words of encouragement from Knox heading into tomorrow's final round. McIlroy is 3-over par for the tournament, eight shots behind leaders Bubba Watson, the 2012 champion, and Masters newcomer Jordan Spieth.
"He just told me to go out there and continue the birdie run tomorrow," McIlroy said. "He said go out and make it two more in a row tomorrow and try to get up on the leaderboard. He was really nice."

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is one of the world's largest integrated oil companies. The company engages in oil and gas exploration, production, supply, transportation and marketing worldwide. In 2011, it reported proved reserves of 24.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, including its major holdings in oil sands through Imperial Oil. Exxon Mobil's 36 refineries in 20 countries have a throughput capacity of more than 6.2 million barrels per day. The company supplies refined products to more than 25,000 gas stations in 100 countries. Exxon Mobil is also a major petrochemical producer.
Dividend Profile
Exxon is one of the best dividend paying companies in the market. The company has a concrete history of dividends. At present, Exxon has a dividend yield of 2.56%, and an annual dividend of $2.28 per share. The company has a manageable payout ratio of 48.33% based on free cash flows. Over the past twelve months, Exxon paid cash dividends of $10.07 billion and generated $20.85 billion in free cash flows. The company has been increasing dividend payments on regular intervals. In order to measure the dividend stability of the company, I take a deeper look at the trend in free cash flows and some important metrics.

Over the past three years, the company has experienced an increase in its net income. Especially in 2011 the net income has shown substantial improvement. The same pattern is evident in funds from operations of the company, and the end of 2012 FFO stood at a stunning $60 billion. The cash flows from operations stood at significantly improved levels in 2011 as compared to 2010. Exxon invests heavily in the business, and in the previous three years, the amount of capital expenditures has remained between $26.87 and $32.848 billion. At the end of 2010, the firm spent almost $26.87 billion in capital expenditures; however, by the end of 2012 the capital expenditures for XOM had gone up to $32.848 billion.
The company generates healthy free cash flows. Although, the capital expenditures have been increasing the firm has been able to post impressive free cash flows. Free cash flows have been variable for the company over the past three years. As a result, payout ratio based on free cash flows has also been variable.
Important Metrics

Debt Service coverage |

3.09 |
7.16 |
For my analysis, I have used four ratios. The first ratio indicates that the debt of the company is adequately covered with the FFO. The ratio has shown an upward trend over the past three years. It indicates that the firm is generating enough cash flow to cover the long-term debt. The second metric indicates that one of the most important components of the firm is easily covered with the FFO of the company. As I mentioned, capital expenditures are an integral cash outflow for Exxon, and the analysis shows that the firm is able to meet its capital spending requirements through its internally generated funds.
The last two metrics in the table indicate that the firm is able to meet its interest and debt payments sufficiently. Exxon has low levels of debt for an energy company, and the debt levels have remained fairly stable over the past three years. At the end of the last year, the company reported long-term debt of $9.3 billion. Third metrics shows that the interest expense coverage is ridiculously high for the company. Exxon has very low interest expense. The company has not paid more than $300 million in interest expense in any of the past three years. However, total debt service coverage ratio has shown a declining trend over the past three years and currently stands considerably lower than 2010. Nonetheless, the debt service coverage is still incredibly strong for Exxon.
Exxon competitors are Chevron Corp (NYSE:CVX), Royal Dutch Shell PLC (NYSE:RDS.A) and British Petroleum (NYSE:BP).

Exxon is trading at a slight premium compared to its competitors. However, the company has strong operating and net margin. Furthermore, Exxon demonstrates the best figures for ROE in the group. Debt-to-equity ratio is also better for Exxon than most of its competitors.
I have performed free cash flows analysis on a number of stocks, and this model has been used on different stock operating in different sectors. However, Exxon mobile has produced some of the best results. The company has incredibly strong free cash flows and operating cash flows. Despite dividend distributions of over $10 billion a year, the payout ratio based on free cash flows is less than 50%. A low payout ratio leaves substantial room for an increase in dividends for the company. I believe Exxon is one of the best dividend paying stock that can be added to an income portfolio.

Kobe Bryant said before this much-hyped season that the retooled Lakers remain "my team."
So it wasn't Steve Nash, one of the best passers in NBA history, or Pau Gasol, one of the best passing big men in the game today, who changed the Lakers' entire approach with his passing.
It was Bryant, who had 11 assists Tuesday night to cap the highest three-game assist output of his career (39 total) to encourage another night of feel-good sharing and winning for the Lakers.
The Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets, 111-106, for their third consecutive victory and to reach 20-25 for the season. They had 34 assists on their 39 field goals compared to New Orleans' 21 on 39 field goals.
"We have a bunch of guys now who can hit shots, not one or two," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said.
The last time the Lakers won three consecutive games, they were relying on Bryant scoring at least 30 points every game. But Bryant has altered his method of attack after the initial plan for Nash to be the one carving up defenses and setting up teammates fizzled — and Bryant's teammates are responding.
"I didn't know Kobe could be so devastating that way," D'Antoni said.
The Lakers let their lead against New Orleans drop from 18 points to one down the stretch, but then Bryant passed out of a double-team trap to an open Earl Clark, who quickly sent the ball to Nash for a perfectly timed 3-point shot with 1:21 to play.
The energy that D'Antoni expected would come on defense if the ball were shared better and quicker on offense has arrived — especially from Dwight Howard, who had 24 points, five steals and four blocks.
Bryant finished with 14 points and eight rebounds, and at times Gasol's passing (seven assists) was even more impressive than Bryant's. Nash had 12 points, making four of his five shots.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
2nd Mayor Says Obama 'Wasn't Tense At All' During Brewer Encounter
In numerous TV and radio interviews since the meeting, Brewer has said the president was "tense to say the least" and took issue with a book she wrote last year. She said Obama walked away from her while she was in mid-sentence and even told one Phoenix television station she felt "a little bit threatened" by the encounter.
But Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, who was standing just feet away from the president and the governor on Wednesday during their now-infamous encounter, told TPM that Obama seemed calm the whole time.
"He wasn't tense at all," Stanton said on Friday. "The guy's a pro."
Though Stanton declined to discuss exactly what the governor and president said to each other, he said Obama's classic coolness was evident.
"He doesn't get animated, but he looks you in the eye and tells you what he thinks," Stanton said. "And I think that's honestly what he did is he looked the governor in the eye and spoke and told her what he was really feeling."
Stanton, a Democrat, is now the second elected Arizona official whose account of the incident contradicts the way Brewer has described it.
The other politician on hand to greet the president, Republican Mayor Scott Smith of Mesa, Ariz., told TPM on Thursday that the discussion between the president and governor was an "awkward moment" but little more than that.
Obama himself dismissed the incident in an interview with ABC News, calling it "a classic example of things getting blown out of proportion."
But in one interview after another, Brewer has said she was "taken aback" by the way the president spoke to her. She has repeatedly mocked him as "thin skinned" for taking issue with a passage of her 2011 book "Scorpions for Breakfast."
The White House confirmed that Obama talked about her book, saying he was disappointed that she described her June 2010 visit to the Oval Office in a bad light. She previously had called the meeting "very cordial" in public. But in the book, she blasted the president as "patronizing" and "condescending."
On Wednesday, reporters witnessed the governor pointing her finger at the president and she appeared flustered after the encounter.
The Phoenix mayor echoed the sentiment of his Mesa counterpart, telling TPM he wished the small encounter didn't overshadow the real reason for Obama's visit, which was designed to highlight jobs and innovation.
"It's unfortunate that that very positive, good message has been sort of lost in the way the media's covered this personal interchange between the two," Stanton said. "At the end of the day, it's not that big of a deal. The president said it was overblown. I agree."
Stanton said that kind of visit should be an honor for Arizona, not a partisan exercise.
"I'm mayor of every person in my city, Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever," Stanton said. "You're in your official capacity at that point. I'm an ambassador for the state at that moment."

Hangnail 65,000 Miles Later Lyrics
Last updated: 07/23/2002 10:03:55 PM
Thinking back on summer weekends,
hanging out no need for reasons.
I recall Spot Drive-in meetings, 3 a.m. and still we抮e eating.
I make this promise and I抣l keep it, never will my friends I forfeit.
To all the ones who feel forgotten,
keep holding on to these words just said.
I understand and I don抰 blame you,
I抳e been gone and you抳e been gone too.
Different place, so many places,
growing up just seems to've changed things.

Boxing: Mares hopes StubHub bout punches his ticket
Abner Mares lives by the "anyone, anytime" motto, and that has helped him become a three-time, three-division boxing champion at 27 years old.
For his next challenge, Mares will defend his WBC featherweight title against Jhonny Gonzalez in a 12-round fight at the StubHub Center on Aug. 24.
The fight was officially announced Thursday at a news luncheon in Los Angeles.
This will be Mares' second fight at featherweight. He won titles at bantamweight and super-bantamweight.
"I had an optional fight, which was going to be in Mexico, against a no-name," said Mares (26-0-1, 14 KOs).
"But I chose Jhonny Gonzalez and to fight here. Great atmosphere ... this could open and be the beginning of Abner Mares fighting in California and making this my territory and the next stop, maybe Staples Center and filling that place up."
This will be Mares' first fight at the StubHub Center in Carson, formerly known as The Home Depot Center. The venue has held some of Southern California's most memorable fights in recent years.
Paul Williams defeated Antonio Margarito for the WBO welterweight title in 2007. In 2008, a then-record crowd of 8,226 witnessed the third fight between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez. Last year, the first fight between Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado stole the spotlight.
This year, Timothy Bradley's narrow escape of Ruslan Provodnikov took place in March, and in June a record crowd of 8,629 saw Erislandy Lara and Alfredo Angulo slug it out for 10 rounds and the Marcos Maidana-Josesito Lopez six-round slugfest.
Mares joked about the pressure of trying to live up to those standards.
"There is good history there," Mares said. "If anything, this is going to add my name to that list."
Gonzalez (54-8, 46 KOs) missed his flight and wasn't able to attend the luncheon. He appeared via Skype briefly before losing connection.
Gonzalez was the WBC champion before he lost to Daniel Ponce De Leon last September. In May, Mares stopped De Leon for a ninth-round TKO to become the WBC featherweight champion.
"He's an experienced fighter," Mares said. "He has over 60 fights, 48 knockouts, great fighter and that adds to my resume. Another tough fight under my belt and I know I will have my hands full."
The co-main event will feature Rosemead's Leo Santa Cruz (24-0-1, 14 KOs) challenging Victor Terrazas (37-2-1, 21 KOs), the WBC super-bantamweight champion.
The StubHub Center holds a special memory for Santa Cruz. He won his first belt, the IBF bantamweight title, last year when he defeated Vusi Malinga.
"It is an honor to fight there," Santa Cruz said. "I have to go out and give the fans what they want and impress the fans. It is great motivation to fight in front of your hometown."
He is hoping to continue his rise, for a future showdown with Mares.
"Whenever the fans want it (a fight with Mares), I will be ready," Santa Cruz said.
Tickets are priced at $150, $75, $50 and $25 will be available starting Saturday.
An additional 200 seats have been added for Saturday's show at the Hollywood Park Casino (3883 W. Century Blvd., Inglewood), featuring featherweight Alejandro Perez (17-3-1, 11 KOs) against Edgar Riovalle (35-14-2, 25 KOs).
There are 10 fights on the card, starting at 6 p.m. The televised portion will begin at 8 p.m.
Tickets start at $25. More information is available at 626-388-8888 or hollywoodfightnight.com. ... Former champion Miguel Cotto is slated to return to the ring Oct. 5.

A fighting game that came out for Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis/Megadrive in 1995. It was dwarfed by Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat 3. The single player mode is terrible but the multiplayer mode is fun. The Super Nintendo version had choppy frames of animation and the Genesis/Megadrive version had terrible audio.

Lindsay Ellingston by Regan Cameron for Allure June 2011
I can not say that I don't like Lindsay, because without a doubt she is gorgeous and has one of the best bodies in my opinion. She also can take some GORGEOUS photos, as seen here.
But she is one of those Angels that I feel have actually 'replaced' some of the classic Angels instead of making a place for herself.
She is considered to be the new Heidi and Karolina, and I really don't think that is fair because Heidi and Karolina are timeless and can not be replaced ever and as amazing as Lindsay is, no one can even compete.
Thoughts on Lindsay? xx

And in reply to Lindsay being a replacement to Heidi and Karolina, I suppose it's a nod to how times are changing. People always want to find the "new this/that"! That being said, I think Lindsay has a sweet quality to her, even though I too, find she can't quite match up to the je nais sais quos of Heidi/Karolina!

text: Experiencing him is like being in a carnival in the shoreline. Even if it only happens once in a while, still it is a carnival. When the carnival is about to close and the amusement is about to end, the excitement doesn't just end. There still will be a firework show, the lights and the color splashed in the sky will still be remembered long after I got back home. And on the way home, I can even still see stars over the shoreline along the road, I can even still smell the refreshing salt in the sea, I can even still feel the wind slipping through my hands. Even if it only happens once in a while, the happiness lasts long.
