"I traveled among unknown men,
In lands beyond the sea;
Nor, England! did I know till then
What love I bore to thee."
--William Wordsworth
There is a growing trend among my friends—to move back to Newton and, what is more shocking,to be content with it. For most of us, college is over or drawing to a close, and "real life" is upon us. But rather than choosing to follow those dreams of, as we used to say, "Getting as far away from Kansas as is humanly possible," my friends, strangely, choose to return to Newton.
Why is this? My good friend Matthew Paden (a recent returnee) compares Newton to The Island on "Lost" which, mysteriously, makes its former residents restless and miserable until they grow beards, develop anger management issues, drive recklessly and yell, "We never should have left The Island!" and then return. There are other, more practical explanations: Parents, siblings and their babysitting skills seem less lame than they did seven or eight years ago; cheap housing and living costs; Drubers; the oil boom; the impending YMCA construction; Newton's safe distance from any major fault lines, hurricane corridors or volcanic activity. But I would guess the reason is more subtle.
I recently read The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy in which a well-educated young man returns to his hometown in the boonies of England from Paris because he thinks he will be happiest there. Though I'll never admit to watching it, Sweet Home Alabama tells the same story. The popular writing of Wendell Berry is almost completely dedicated to back-to-your-roots ideals; in fact, Berry's writing influenced a friend's decision to move back to Newton . . . and to plant a garden. You can just imagine that older character in a movie or book putting his calloused hand on a young person's shoulder and saying real slow, "Son, this is where you belong" or "These folks are your folks; stick with them." In other, rhyming words, "You know this place; this place knows you; life is better when those two things are true."
Now, I don't think this is a universal truth. In some cases—like the former criminal who is trying to get out of bad company—it is better not to know or be known. But, there is something to be said for being acquainted with a place. There is security in it. I enjoy knowing where to find Heather Lane, Norm's Coffee Shop's hours and which fast food restaurant in town has remodeled most recently. (It's Taco Bell.)
My point is, I think my friends are moving back to Newton for more than practical reasons. I think it feels like home, even in its mid-Kansas obscurity. Also, they've come to realize how you appreciate a place much more after leaving for a while—"Nor [Newton]! Did I know till then what love I bore to thee."

i have heard that sometimes with the warpfeed, there can be a pause in you shots where itl just dry fire due to the fact that your hopper may jam or some other reason. when you intellifeed the warp feed does it fix this problem?
a warp on any gun imo should be intellifed. but, will intellifeed warp fix a jammed hopper, no. but thats what 12v revvys and halos are for
Well the situation is that i just got my tank and df in, i put um on along with the mounting plate for my warp, the warp itself with not fit the mounting when facing the mount plate the usual way do to the gauges on my 68/45 dynaflow. I was going to try to turn the plate upside down and rotate it 180* (if you can try to picture that) so that it would be basicly the same but the piviting part would be directly under the grip....I ran into a problem, the tank will not come off of the df, its a cp flame and ive tried as hard as i could to get it off, Ive tried to use a rubber mallet cautiously for fear of hurting my baby, no dice. I would try to put some gun oil to possibly give it a little lube, but i have none. if you can help, please let me know. I can take pics if it will help.
you have to loosen the set screw in the drop in order to be able to take teh tank off the rail. look towards the forward of the drop, on the top side of it, and look for a hole with an allen screw in it, unscrew that and try to take it off
Unfortunally I did that already, it wouldnt move even after that. I have pics, but there were some errors when I was trying to attach them. If anyone has a website they can post um at for a coupple days, it would be most appricated. Hit me up on aim at PNTBALL104.
what is the "big cell"? And does the 12v conversion make a big diff?
gun 4 sale
screw SP
i want your emag
Big cell lets you run the warp at the standard 9v but using two batteries instead of one. Running 12v increases the speed of the warp, I believe it is about 8 BPS higher than 9v.

Ok thank you , but I have another question I put a on/off switch on my warp but it was not really working what i mean is that the warp would run slower. Its probaly not the right switch im supose to use well i need to get the right switch, could i use a switch off a remote control car or somthing similar to that?
I have no idea on the switch type, I am 0% clueless when it comes to electrical work. I had BradAGD install a on/off switch for me, and the big cell too. I have a PTP 12v wire for the warp also, not sure if I can run both of those together....???
talk to havoc, he does all this stuff
Holy cow guys. I just got the 12v mod from pro-team today and added it to the warp. Holy cow! This new mod helps greatly. What a big difference it makes!!
Sorry if this question was posted in this thread already.. there is alot of posts, and I would die finding what I need. Anyway, I should be recieving my brand new warp from AGD tommorow, and my question is, what should I do when I just get it other than mounting it,adding batteries, hooking up intellifeed, and hooking up hose?
well what gun are you hooking it up to. if its the emag, lmk, because i have the exact AGD intellifeed cable you need, NEVER used, basically new and ill sell for real cheap
hose. if its goin on ur micro e i think u might need to buy the PTP adapter. id also suggest if u have 3.2, while ordering the adapter from PTP also get the 12v mod.
thats pretty much it. oh, dont forget that you need to set the lower right end dip switches for intellifeed, i think it says how to do that in manual. then u can also adjust dwell.
Mkkay, got it all set-up, thanks JT2002. No need for a PTP adapter ($30!!!! ).. I just modded the one AGD gave me.
Now, for my next question, where exactly do you lube the Warp? Anywhere there is friction? It says to lube the gears, shaft, and feed wheel..What is the feed wheel and shaft? And where do I apply the lube to those?
really, imho, all you really need is to shoot a case of paint, that has oil based shells, not the dry type ex. evil. which is the dry type. try shooting a case or so of midnight through it playing at field or w/e. u just want an oily shelld paint, and the oil from paint will come off on the wheels and lube it, its relaly not as bad as agd might make it seem. either that or lubing the friction disks by hand with some gun oil, BUT id highly suggest u just shoot paint thru it, worked for me, and my warp works great. as i see oiling it by hand could occur in over oiling it and making things messy. so all in all, just get a case of paint that has an oil based shell, and shoot it thru the warp whenever and you should be cool. basically the way to tell is your warp disks will feel slightly slippery if u stick ur finger in the hopper port and press a finger against the disk.
you get all that?
What does the litte white button on near the circuit board do?
Feedback Thread
My life is rated R.
What is your life rated?
its to prime the warp and hose. its basically just a manual activation, that you initially use to fill up the hose, your guns feed neck, and the warp with paint at the beginning of the day or whenever. u should never have to use it during the game. thats what vibration sensor/ intellifeed is for
So I went ballin last Sat. with the Warp on my Micro E-Mag. The motor was already "ran in" (brushes were broken in), and a brand new 9v battery was put in. I set it up for intellifeed, and tried a few jumper combinations until I found the one were it would work when I pulled the trigger. This is how it went, I fill up my halo with paint, press the little white button to fill up the warp and hose, and go off to start my first game. At first I was very pleased with the warp, it seemed to shoot fine, but I noticed that the balls were not stacking all the way in the hose, and were loose. This started happening when I upped my rate of fire (10-14bps), but only in bursts. So balls would just kinda roll into the breach. My lvl 10 saved my a$$ about 30 times or so. So I took off the warp and played with just the Halo for the rest of the day. Now, whats wrong? Here is a pic of my jumper setup on the warp board:
(Sorry for the crappyness of the pic, but you can see the jumpers)
Help me out here. Or am I outshooting the warp and need the 12v mod?
i think u need to adjust for longer dwell time
I think thats that longest it will get since I took off all the jumpers.
(According to the instructions, the less vertical jumpers there are, the longer the dwell)

Alright, I just got my warp and I followed the instructions on the proper method of breaking in the brushes. What puzzles me is the fact that the instructions tell me that the process will take several minutes, however, in my case I have already gone through 3 kinda old 9v batteries and I'm charging my 9v NmH battery which I will also attempt as well. Should it take this long to break the brushes in?
all u had to do was throw an old one on and leave it running till teh battery was dead and it didnt spin
Right but isn't it supposed to start spinning again once I lower the sensitivity?
all ur supposed to do is turn sensitivity all teh way UP and walk away
Oh, arite. One other thing though...when setting the dwell time, is this correct?: the more horizontal jumpers to put into place the longer the dwell time, and the more vertical jumpers to have the shorter the dwell time. According to the instructions and other sources, this should the way it works.
nto sure havent looked at manual in a while
sorry guys, didnt have time to read the whole thing, so i'll just ask this here.
I have an '03 vert cocker and want a warp, do i absoloutley have to buy the PTP warp ($100 more) to run it on mine?
If you are RIGHT handed like most of us get a 'Mag with Hopper right, meaning feed plug is on the left when you are aiming it. That way when you get a Warp Feed you can put it on the left side of the gun and run the hose straight up, instead of crossing it over or under the other side of the body.Originally posted by ClassicMagMan
im gettin a minimag and I wanna get a warp for it which powerfeed should I get for it, left or right?
I'm having the same prob as the guy above (the one who posted the jumpers pic) no jumpers, and the stack is very loose. Same jumper positon currently and linked to an Emag

I have had a few PMs asking for some pictures of this build so here it is all done and ready for anodizing. This thing shoots lasers now that it has eyes
Ego Star frame with EP mod(done by Loguzzzzzz)
Ram (Clippard MPA-3, Machined/modified to fit by Loguzzzzzz)
Unknown LPR off of a dragonfly
UL RPG Recon rail (milled for eyes by Luke's Customs)
UL body(milled for eyes/extra detent by Luke's Customs)
Laser eyes(functional, Eyes and eye plates supplied by p8ntbal4me)
PMI gas through for grip
Freak barrel set
CP drop and on/off asa
SMC S070-SDG-32 Noid(good luck finding one in stock)
Extra parts to anodize for different configurations. It is good to have extra parts anodized with your marker. that way if you want to change something for a different kind of play, or something brakes, or you are tired of the way it looks, then all you have to do is bolt on a different piece.
Bullet LPR
RPG Pnumatic frame
Intelli frame
CP direct mount on/off asa
STI gass through
Photobucket album for this build
LPR setup (Tap size 1/8"x27 npt)
The ram assembly
Instructions From Loguzzzzzz "I machine the frame out a little on top and then shave the sides of the MPA-3 until it fits inside with a little friction. Take the modified ram and place it into the frame and adjust it so that it sits low enough in the frame to clear the sear and high enough to clear the board. Then I remove the trigger rod from the sear and place the frame and rail, with sear, together to mark the frame(for the main valve screw) with the sear it in the cocked position and the end of the ram in the proper position. I try to keep 1/16" to 1/8" between the sear and the ram." I edited for clarity
Looking down through the rail and sear assembly at the ram and hose from the LPR
The set screw for the ram.(Tap size for ram screws 6-32)Also the front screws from the sticky grips also holds the ram, for extra measure.
Input hose from lpr(clear one) and the line to the ram(black one)
Grip with noid(SMC Noid)
Another shoot of the noid
The marker with eyes mod, cover plates, and the laser light show.
Two videos to follow. Before the eye mod and after. I still need to shoot the after mod video, and it will have a gravity feed portion to show the eyes work like they should.

TORONTO — A series of activities to celebrate Temple Kol Ami's 25th anniversary resumes March 1, when Jewish singer/songwriter Alan Goodis participates in Shabbat evening services at the Thornhill congregation.
The following morning, Goodis, who grew up at Temple Har Zion, will teach music at the temple's Saturday morning religious school.
As well, a gala celebration will take place May 26.
Rabbi Micah Streiffer, who became spiritual leader in 2011, said the congregation, with 170 families, is undergoing a "renaissance" and has begun to grow.
But a lot of people still aren't familiar with the congregation, he noted. "I think name recognition is our biggest challenge."
Being a small congregation comes with challenges, but also benefits, he added. "It's an intimate community, a warm community, a welcoming community, because we're relatively small."
To introduce the temple and its religious school to new families, it is running a program called "Taste of Kol Ami." For $36, children can attend the school on Saturday mornings and Wednesday nights for seven weeks, beginning at the end of March.
On Shabbat mornings, kids go upstairs for classes, while parents stay downstairs for Torah study and then religious services. At noon, the families come together for a half-hour family education service.
For the future, Rabbi Streiffer said, "my hope is that we can continue to build on our program of learning, worship and social action, and continue to be a presence within the Toronto community."
Kol Ami president Kathy Stein, who joined the congregation with her husband and two children, now 22 and 25, 22 years ago, remembers when there were fewer than 50 families at the shul.
She and her husband Barry, a past president of Kol Ami, became involved early on, and were youth advisers for 10 years.
She said one of the biggest challenges over the years was "meeting people's expectations" as the shul grew.
One expectation was "a place of our own. That was a challenging time as we evaluated several paths."
Kol Ami, which had rented space at Leo Baeck Day School in Thornhill for many years, bought land in 2001 at 8777 Dufferin St., but never ended up building there. The land was sold in 2010. There were also plans to move to the Lebovic Jewish Community Campus in Vaughan and partner with Bialik Hebrew Day School, but those fell through.
"In the long run, we decided that … there's no place like home," she said. That led to a partnership with the school and the renovation of what is now Kol Ami's permanent home.
Selling the land at a profit, and creating a reserve fund, "gave us the ability to do what we've done at Leo Baeck," Stein said, referring to renovations in the sanctuary, common rooms, small chapel and youth lounge for both the school and the congregation to use.
She described the congregation as "extremely participatory. Over 80 per cent [of members] either come to services or school, or volunteer… We are not a three-day-a-year synagogue. It's extremely welcoming."
Arlene Blostein, a founding member and longtime choir member, recalls attending High Holiday services at Leo Baeck's former location on Kenton Drive, when the congregation was just getting off the ground. At the time, there were only 13 families, and Rabbi Steven Garten – then the school's director, and now the rabbi of Temple Israel in Ottawa – led the services.
"I don't think we had a name yet, and I don't think we knew whether things were going to continue," Blostein said.
Rabbi Nancy Wechsler became the founding rabbi after conducting a summer service in a member's backyard. "That was it, from then on," said Blostein.
Rabbi Wechsler was with the congregation until 1996. She was followed by Rabbi Daniel Gottlieb, who preceded Rabbi Streiffer, with Rabbi Sharon Sobel serving as interim rabbi for six months before Rabbi Streiffer began.
Blostein said that for her and her husband Barry, and for other young families at the time, the congregation "became our focal point for everything, not just religious needs but social needs and community."
"I guess I like the fact that we have stayed true to our initial sense of what we wanted to accomplish… We wanted to remain very community oriented, family oriented… and make it enjoyable and accessible to all."

Mendon tops Quincy
It was her night.
Mendon's Brooke Howard eclipsed the 1,000 point mark on Monday night as the junior led the Hornets with 25 points in a 44-22 win at Quincy.
Mendon got going right out of the gate with a 10-5 first quarter, where Howard scored half those points herself. Jenna Griffith tripled and Cierra Furlong added two points to round out the scoring in the opening stanza.
The second quarter was more of the same, as Mendon went on an 11-2 run to open the quarter to give the Lady Hornets a 21-7 lead midway through. Howard hit the first two buckets of the run, followed by a bucket from Alexis Russell and then Howard completed a three-point play before Mendon scored again on the following trip to end the run.
After a Quincy basket, Howard tripled to make it a 24-9 game. Both teams added another bucket before the half, and the Hornets enjoyed a 26-11 lead at the break.
Both teams struggled to score in the third, as Quincy outscored Mendon, 7-6. Howard tallied all of Mendon's points in that third quarter, as the visitors led 32-18 going into the fourth. In the final stanza, Mendon played much tougher defense and produced a 7-2 run to go up 40-20.
Grace Leighton scored Mendon's final four points, as the Quincy offense continued to struggle with finding any consistency.
Howard led all scorers with 25 points. Jenna Griffith added seven and Leighton had six. Furlong, Russell and Shelby Harrison all had two.
Howard had 12 rebounds while Russell added five. Griffith had four assists and six steals in the win for the Lady Hornets.
Mendon improved to 16-1 on the season and travels to Homer tonight for a non-conference matchup.

Recent local hit-and-runs have not only caused injuries but claimed lives in the Rock River Valley.
For heaven's sake, why don't the offending drivers stop to help? Why can't they just own up?
Today, I'm making a poetic plea, with a nod to the cowboy lyrics first sung by Ed Bruce and made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson:
"Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowards"
Hit-and-run drivers aren't easy to love, and they're so cold.
They'd rather give excuses that build their stronghold.
"I was drunk." "I don't have a license." "I'm already in trouble with the law."
"It wasn't my fault; they were in the road."
And if you buy their song and dance, an' they don't die young,
They'll prob'ly just get away with it all.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowards.
Don't let them drive their Chevy SUV and hit a preteen girl on her way to Lincoln Middle School in Rockford, and run.
And hit and kill a white-haired, 72-year-old lady whose car tire went flat and was walking to find help outside Belvidere, and run.
Make 'em be people with consciences, someone not to shun.
Cowards like hiding in plain view and behind imperfect childhoods.
Dad wasn't around. Didn't have no money. Didn't learn nothin' in school.
Skipped court. Didn't follow no rules.
Them that don't know 'em hate 'em for what they've done.
They'd never hit and run.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowards.
Don't let them drive their cars and trucks, hit people and run.
You're not to blame, but you know your kids maybe better than anyone.
Help 'em be people with consciences, face what they done.
Mamas can be anyone with a heart and soul who want to right the terrible toll.
This year, as of Oct. 28, there were 21 fatal crashes in Rockford, including five hit-and-runs, all of which have been solved, police say.
But the driver of an older model blue Chevrolet SUV who hit a Lincoln Middle School student on Tuesday remained at-large. The student suffered minor injuries.
And the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed Lucy V. Sawyer-Ford, 72, of Rockford on Oct. 27 on Beloit Road west of Hills Boulevard, Belvidere, also remained at-large as of deadline for this column. Sawyer-Ford left her vehicle because of a flat tire.
She was buried Thursday.

DURHAM, N.C. – No. 5 NC State tied the game in the eighth and scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the 10th to escape with a 7-6 victory over the Duke baseball team Friday evening at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The Blue Devils held leads of 4-0 and 6-3 but were unable to hold off the Wolfpack in the end.
Trailing 6-5 in the top of the eighth, NC State (41-13, 18-10 ACC) got a leadoff single from Grant Clyde. Clyde then took second on a wild pitch, one of five total in the ball game, and advanced to third on a ground ball to the right side. Second baseman Logan Ratledge sent a two-out single through the right side, tying the game at 6-6.
Following a scoreless ninth, left fielder Bryan Adametz singled for the third time on the night. A Jake Armstrong sacrifice bunt moved the runner to second before Adametz made it to third on a Ratledge fly ball to right field. Adametz would ultimately score the go-ahead run on a wild pitch, Duke's third of the evening.
Sophomore Andy Perez, who was 2-for-5 with two runs scored, laced a base hit to start the bottom of the 10th and senior Jeff Kremer drew a walk to put two men aboard with one out. The Blue Devils were unable to capitalize, however, as a strikeout and a nice in foul territory by Wolfpack third baseman Clyde ended the ball game.
2012 ACC Pitcher of the Year Carlos Rodon (8-2) struck out 15 batters over nine innings in the winning effort. Rodon allowed six runs, four earned, but did not allow a Duke hit after yielding four runs in the third.
Sophomore Trent Swart pitched 7.1 innings in the no decision, permitting six runs, five earned, on eight hits. Duke's sophomore left-hander struck out four and walked two on the night. Sophomore Andrew Istler (3-6) suffered the loss, allowing just the one run on three hits over 2.2 innings of work.
Duke (26-28, 9-20 ACC) loaded the bases with three straight singles in the bottom of the second inning, but Rodon worked out of the jam keep the game scoreless early.
NC State was not as fortunate in the third as Duke plated four for the early lead. Catcher Reed Anthes started things off with a single and the Blue Devils proceeded to load the bases on a Perez base hit and Mark Lumpa walk. Anthes scored on a wild pitch before Jordan Betts sent a two-run double down the left field line to put Duke ahead 3-0. Betts scored Duke's final run of the frame on a second wild pitch, extending the Blue Devils' lead to 4-0.
NC State's answer was immediate as the Wolfpack sent three around in the top of the fourth. Right fielder Jake Fincher lead off with a base hit and scored on an Brett Austin double. Jake Armstrong added a two-run single as well to cut the Duke lead to 4-3.
The Blue Devils scored two runs without registering a hit in the fifth, staking a 6-3 advantage. After a passed ball on strike three and two walks loaded the bases, Betts knocked in his team-leading 48th RBI on a fielder's choice. Redshirt sophomore Chris Marconcini followed suit with a sacrifice fly to center, picking up his 38th RBI on the year.
An Armstrong RBI double and a Duke error in the sixth allowed NC State to cut the Blue Devils' advantage to 6-5 before the Wolfpack tied the game in the eighth.
Duke and NC State close out the series Saturday. The two teams are set for a 12 p.m., first pitch at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

A group of former Morgan Keegan & Co. mutual fund directors are reportedly settling claims filed against them by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2010.
The SEC made the settlement public in an administrative order Wednesday, March 27, according to press reports. Terms were not disclosed.
The Memphis-based funds, according to regulators, had been invested in some securities backed by subprime mortgages and "fraudulently overstated the value of their securities" as the housing market was collapsing in 2007.
The SEC and other state regulators previously charged the funds' managers with fraud, and Morgan Keegan – which later was sold to Raymond James Financial Inc. – agreed to pay $200 million to settle.
Discount store operator Fred's Inc. said Thursday that its fourth-quarter net income fell 33 percent due to some higher costs and cautious consumer spending.
The Memphis-based company's forecast for this year also fell below analyst expectations.
Fred's pharmacy division is performing well, but its general merchandise unit is weaker, said Fred's CEO Bruce Efird. The company is starting a three-year turnaround plan aimed at improving the profitability of its general merchandise segment.
Net income for the three months ended Feb. 2 fell to $6.6 million, or 18 cents per share. That compares with $9.8 million, or 26 cents per share, the year before. Analysts expected 20 cents per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue rose 7 percent, to $533.4 million from $497.6 million. Analysts expected $537.4 million. Revenue in stores open at least one year rose 4.8 percent. The measure is a key gauge of a retailer's financial health because it excludes stores that open or close during the year.
Operating costs were higher than the company expected.
For the year, profit fell 11 percent to $29.6 million, or 81 cents per share. Revenue rose 4 percent to $1.96 billion.
Looking forward, Fred's predicted earnings of 77 cents to 88 cents per share in 2013. Analysts expect 95 cents per share.
The company's predictions for the current quarter also fell short, as bad weather in March hurt sales of seasonal items. Fred's expects profit of 26 cents to 30 cents per share, with revenue in a range of down 1 percent to up 1 percent, which implies sales of $493 million to $503 million in the period through April.
Analysts expect profit of 30 cents per share on revenue of $511.3 million.
Bayer CropScience and Helena Chemical Co. have committed to separate investments at Agricenter International totaling nearly $20 million.
Executives from the two companies will be at the East Memphis center Monday, April 1, with Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to break ground on the research laboratory and greenhouse facilities.
Bayer CropScience will build a $17 million greenhouse, including 40,000 square feet of greenhouse space plus open office space. All are part of Bayer's research and development of cottonseed and cotton.
Helena Chemical has had a presence at Agricenter for 20 years. Its latest addition will be a $2.2 million new research formulation laboratory as well as some improvements to existing facilities at Agricenter.
In a ceremony next month at the University of Memphis-Holiday Inn, the Society of Entrepreneurs will induct five new members.
The April 13 event will see added to the society Duncan Williams, president of investment firm Duncan-Williams Inc.; Neely Mallory Jr., chairman of logistics business The Mallory Group; David Andrews, CEO and owner of City Enterprises LLC, the parent company of several auto-related businesses; William Courtney, CEO of Classic American Hardwoods; and Dick Leike, a co-founder of Crye-Leike Realtors.
The society was founded in 1991 to foster the development of the entrepreneurial spirit locally and to recognize entrepreneurs in the community. Membership is comprised of Memphis-area business owners, presidents and other key executives, and members are chosen annually by their peers.
At Visible Music College next week, the Deborah Welsh Parrott Visible Community Atrium will open with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The event on April 3 will showcase the recently redesigned atrium on the ground floor of Visible's Madison Avenue campus. It will be an outdoor area for students to meet and socialize as well as a venue for the community to enjoy.
A small stage designed for open-air concerts will be available, and the space also will be available to rent for events.
The ribbon cutting happens April 3 at 4 p.m. in the atrium at 200 Madison Ave.
Legislation that would allow cities to form their own school systems is advancing in the Senate.
The measure sponsored by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris of Collierville unanimously passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday.
The proposal would lift a 1998 ban that forbids municipalities from starting their own school systems.
The measure would benefit six Memphis suburbs seeking to bypass a merger of the Shelby County and Memphis school districts and run their own schools.
The suburbs voted in August to create their own districts after the Legislature passed a narrowly crafted bill that allowed it.
Shelby County officials argued in court that the law violated the Tennessee Constitution because it applied to only one county. A federal judge agreed and struck it down.
George Chism Sr. is a newly appointed mortgage loan specialist at BankTennessee.
Chism, who has been with the bank since February 2012, had been a commercial loan officer. During his tenure in the banking industry, Chism has worked at Magna Bank, Wells Fargo and Germantown Home Mortgage.
Collierville-based BankTennessee has seven retail banking offices located in Collierville, East Memphis, Downtown, Germantown, Ripley and Lebanon. The bank also has a loan production office in Atoka.
The University of Memphis Habitat for Humanity Chapter and Students Advocating Service are hosting a series of events to educate the public about Habitat for Humanity's mission and to encourage people to get involved.
Act! Speak! Build! Week is an annual, weeklong series of youth-led advocacy events that raise awareness on eradicating poverty and access to housing.
The opening ceremony will be held on April 1, and events run through April 5. All events will be held on the University of Memphis campus.
The Senate has passed a bill to eliminate hotel allowances for lawmakers who live within 50 miles of the state Capitol.
The proposal sponsored by Republican Sen. Ferrell Haile of Gallatin was approved on a 28-2 vote on Thursday.
The measure would eliminate the $107-per-night hotel payment for Nashville-area legislators, though it would provide for daily mileage allowances instead of weekly ones.
The legislation would continue to provide a $66 daily meals allowance for all lawmakers.
The House approved its version on a 71-15 vote earlier this month, but would have to approve a technical change made by the Senate before the measure could head for the governor's signature.
Annual savings are projected at more than $250,000.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages edged up this week but remained near historic lows. Low rates have helped drive the housing market's steady recovery.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year fixed loan rose to 3.57 percent from 3.54 percent last week. That's near the 3.31 percent reached in November, which was the lowest on records dating to 1971.
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage increased last week to 2.76 percent from 2.72 percent last week. The record low of 2.63 percent was also reached in November.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for 30-year mortgages was unchanged at 0.8 point. The fee for 15-year loans also was steady, at 0.7 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage slipped to 2.62 percent from 2.63 percent last week. The fee for one-year adjustable-rate loans edged down to 0.3 from 0.4 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage rose to 2.68 percent from 2.61 percent. The fee held at 0.6 point.
Herbi-Systems Inc., the largest privately owned lawn care company in the Memphis area, is adding irrigation maintenance and repair service for residential and small commercial business clients.
According to Herbi-Systems owner and president Kenny Crenshaw, the new service is something customers need for the overall health of their lawns. Herbi-Systems will use existing staff to manage the new service, which includes obtaining proper state certification each year to monitor backflow prevention, as well as repairing and replacing sprinkler heads and controllers, and installing rain and moisture sensors to conserve water for residential and commercial lawns with sprinkler systems.
Locally owned since 1984, Bartlett-based Herbi-Systems has 32 employees and serves nearly 8,000 clients in the Memphis area, representing homeowners as well as industrial, governmental and commercial industries.
The Cooper-Young Community Association's annual auction will showcase the work of local artists and benefit the Cooper-Young community.
The Art for Art's Sake Auction, which is set for 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on April 13 at the Young Avenue Deli, will raise money to install solar panels to power the Cooper-Young Trestle Art Gateway. Already, the association has replaced the standard light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. Designed in 2000 by artist Jill Turman, The Cooper-Young Trestle Art Gateway welcomes visitors at the community's entrance on Cooper Street.
"We're proud of the community association because they are pioneers when it comes to doing things like this," said Tamara Cook, executive director of the Cooper-Young Business Association. "The trestle art, when they put that on old ugly train trestle, that was huge news."
An artist reception will be held at Otherland's Coffee Bar on Thursday, March 28, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Many of the pieces of artwork that will be sold at the auction will be available for advance viewing by the public. The artists will be available to discuss their work and meet guests.
Tennessee transportation officials are shutting down highway construction for the Easter weekend.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation has told contractors and its own crews to knock off work no later than 6 p.m. Thursday, in anticipation of increased holiday travel.
Transportation Commissioner John Schroer encouraged travelers to download the department's SmartWay Mobile App to get current traffic information as they travel. It's available at the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store for Android devices.
Travel information is also online at http://www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway.
Long-term lane restrictions will remain in place and lower speed limits in construction zones still apply. There will be no temporary lane restrictions, however.
Construction will resume at 6 a.m. April 1.
Fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in February, but the level stayed close to a nearly three-year high. The report suggests sales of previously occupied homes will keep rising in the coming months.
The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales dipped to 104.8 in February.
That's down from January's reading of 105.2 – the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit was boosting sales.
Signed contracts are 8.4 percent higher than a year ago.
There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
In February, completed sales of previously occupied homes rose to a seasonally adjusted pace of 4.98 million, the fastest in more than three years.
The gains in both signed contracts and completed sales point to a housing recovery that is strengthening, although re-sales remain below the 5.5 million that are consistent with healthy markets.
Pending home sales rose 0.4 percent in the Midwest and 0.1 percent in the West last month. They fell 2.5 percent in the Northeast and 0.3 percent in the South.
The Mid-South Transplant Foundation has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the number of organs transplanted per healthy donors by the United Network for Organ Sharing.
The results were released in the organization's most recent quarterly report. The Mid-South Transplant Foundation serves Western Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas and Northern Mississippi.
"We contribute our success to our staff's excellent management and care of potential donors and to the assistance from hospital staff in helping us ensure that we are able to recover as many organs as possible from each donor," said Kim Van Frank, executive director of the Mid-South Transplant Foundation.
The quarterly report also ranked the Mid-South Transplant Foundation as the No. 1 organ procurement organization in the U.S. for the percentage of African-American donors in 2012.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, will be the graduation speaker for the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law Class of 2013 graduation on May 12.
The ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts. Local investment firm Duncan-Williams Inc sponsors it.
Kennedy is a professor of environmental law at Pace University School of Law and serves as co-director of the school's Environmental Litigation Clinic.
Among his other accomplishments, he serves as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, is president-at-large of the Waterkeeper Alliance, is a partner on the CleanTech investment team of Silicon Valley's VantagePoint Capital Ventures, is the environmental adviser to Napo Pharmaceuticals, and serves on the board of directors for Westinghouse Solar.
A Republican lawmaker who last year backed off a bill that would have allowed local officials to hold more closed-door meetings has withdrawn a similar measure this session.
Rep. Glen Casada of Franklin withdrew the legislation in the House State Government Subcommittee on Tuesday.
His proposal last year sought to allow local government officials to meet privately as long as a quorum isn't present.
He eventually withdrew the measure following concerns from the governor and Senate and House speakers, all Republicans. Casada has been trying to work with county commissioners to craft legislation that might pass the subcommittee.
Tennessee liquor stores would be allowed to be open for business on Sundays under changes to a supermarket wine bill adopted by the Senate Finance Committee.
The panel voted Tuesday to make several changes to the measure seeking to allow cities and governments to hold referendums on whether to permit supermarkets and convenience stores to sell wine. The liquor store amendment was approved on a 6-5 vote.
Republican Sen. Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro, the main sponsor of the bill, also supported a change to link supermarket wine sales to the hours they are currently allowed to sell beer.
The panel delayed a final vote on the bill for a week so members could have time to digest the changes.
The companion bill has failed in a House committee.

PLACERVILLE -- A woman was killed Monday when she was struck in the head with a cartridge from a paintball gun, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Dept.
The freak accident happened in the area of Mosquito Road in El Dorado County. Sheriff's Dept. officials tell FOX40 News someone was using a paintball gun and the cartirdge on the back of the gun somehow malfunctioned. It popped off the gun and became a projectile, flying through the air and striking a woman who was walking nearby. She was hit in the head and died.
There's no word yet on any potential charges against the person using the paintball gun.
This is pretty close to where I am located. No more info yet.. don't know if it was HPA or CO2.

Swart (4-1) and sophomore Andrew Istler combined on tonight's nine-hit shutout, the first time Georgia Tech had not put a run on the board since Feb. 17, 2012. Swart stymied the ACC's leading offensive club, scattering seven hits – all singles - over eight innings of work. The Carlsbad, Calif., native struck out six and issued just one walk on the night.
"[Swart] pitched a great ball game," said head coach Chris Pollard. "He showed unbelievable competitive fight. As a team, we competed really well. He set a tone for the whole ball game. One of the real keys was that he did a great job of controlling the running game. He varied his tempos, something we talked a lot about, to keep them from getting a good jump at first base. That limited their ability to straight steal which kept guys out of scoring position. That was the real difference in the ball game."
Georgia Tech's Buck Farmer (6-1) suffered his first loss of the season, allowing two runs on five hits over eight innings. Farmer kept the Blue Devil hitters off balance for much of the evening, striking out seven without issuing a walk, but Duke was able to manufacture a run in both the fourth and eighth innings.
Following three scoreless frames to start the ball game, Duke broke through with a run in the bottom of the fourth. Senior Jeff Kremer led off with a double inside the first base line and sophomore Grant McCabe laid down the bunt to advance the runner. Junior Jordan Betts proceeded to drive in his team-leading 31st RBI of the season with sac fly to left, giving Duke the 1-0 advantage.
The Yellow Jackets led off with a base hit in the fifth, seventh and eighth innings as Georgia Tech threatened to tie the score at one-all. Designated hitter Thomas Smith singled to begin the fifth and made it to third before Swart induced a ground ball to second the end the inning. The Yellow Jackets left a runner stranded on second in the seventh and looked poised to tie the score with two men on and one out in the eighth. But once again Swart kept the Yellow Jackets at bay, getting out of the eighth with a fielder's choice and a fly out.
Holding on to a 1-0 lead, Duke added an insurance run in the eighth to stake the two-run advantage. Freshman Kenny Koplove beat out an infield single and moved into scoring position on a grounder to third. Junior Mark Lumpa then delivered the two-out RBI single, lacing the first pitch of the at bat to centerfield.
"That's a huge at bat," Pollard added. "Going into the ninth when you're up 2-0 instead of 1-0, that game plays totally different because now they can't sacrifice when the leadoff guy gets on. We did a really good job with our situational hitting tonight. We did it in the fourth when we bunted the runner over and Betts comes up and has the fly ball to score him. Lumpa comes up with the key hit. [Andy] Perez had a big hit behind him to extend that inning and maybe give us a chance to put a third run up. Overall, it was a really well-played ball game."
Istler came on to pitch a scoreless ninth, striking out a pair to pick up his seventh save of the season. Georgia Tech had a pair of singles in the frame, but Istler struck out pinch out Daniel Spingola swinging and got centerfielder Kyle Wren to ground out to second to end the game.
Perez finished the evening 2-for-4 while Lumpa was 2-for-3 with an RBI to lead the Blue Devils.
Duke and Georgia Tech will resume the series tomorrow, meeting in game two at 1 p.m., at Jack Coombs Field.

Let me know if you guys find any issues with the new template.
This is fantastic! After all these years, seeing my pic over there got me really proud. I can honestly say that I have visited this web site on a daily basis for almost 8 years already. Thanks soooo much, Bunny!!!
The buttons that used to be at the top right are covered. e.g. The "Notification" Button.
Like it. Great job!
Edit: Now I'm up to 19.0.2 and I still can't see it all the way. I can see the tippy top behind the search bar.
Edit: It worked before the change this morning. Do I need to browse this site on IE? And I don't see a banner.
I can see the site fine in IE and Chrome though. IE is usually the problem browser. This is weird.

No, really, the problem is your Adblock extension. I had this same problem on the Dev forum and here as well when it came live. Just whitelist the automags.org domain (i.e. don't run Adblock on this site) and you'll be fine.
It happened to me using both Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks Justus! I'm trying to figure which would be easier... Rename the CSS files to exclude the word banner... or force people not to block ads on automags.org I will downloading mozilla tonight to try and find a solution so people don't have to mess with their browsers at all.
Thanks for all the positive feedback so far, I worked really hard on this so i'm glad everyone likes it as much as I do.
Btw, if anyone missed out on the chance to be in the banner, I will post another thread in a few months so you can be on the top of the page as well.
Chrome is rendering like the picture above as well. (i.e. missing the banner) Chrome Version 26.0.1410.28
Also the border of the "headline" gif automags.org online is really jagged. Maybe .png would be better choice as it can handle larger color space and gradient opacity. In this case it would create better anti aliasing on the transparency edge.
Other than that, good work on the theme!
If the Adblock is turned off for the site, and the banners are placed correctly, the Automags.org/Online logo is pushed all the way up into the gray header and you never see the jagged edges.
By the way, the jagged edges are a product of the text using a drop shadow and a transparent background. Older "photoshop"-like programs didn't know how to handle opacity very well, and would fill in the transparency gradient of a shadow effect with a background color. In this case, that background color at least was a spot-on match for the color of the header. And that's why it will never be noticed if the header is placed properly by the browser. (i.e., simply whitelist the automags.org domain)
Yep, it was the Adblock. Forgot it as it rarely makes any trouble.
Did I miss a data call for pictures for the photobanner?
Stay Classy, AO...
My Feedback: Here on Automags.org, On MCB, BigEvilOnline, and PaintBallNation
Now that the design is out of the way and I have access to upload new headers.... I don't think there will be any problems adding AOers to the banner in the near future. The only real problem is to get people to take high quality pictures. At least get the camera guy to take a picture a little closer.... I think people want to see what kind of automag you are shooting!! lol
this is really looking great! i havent been around this neck of the interwebs as long as many of you, but i have to say its awesome to see my picture in the banner!
THANK YOU BUNNY for all your hard work! Dayspring as well, and anyone else who has been contributing!
Great Job!
Used to be when you did a search you could pick which forums you wanted to search in, but that option doesnt seem avaiable now. Is there anyway to turn that back on? I.E. I want to search for "ULE" in the BST Misc parts thread. Or am I doinitrong?
I'll take a closer look at this later today. I think we should have it defaulted back to the single search. I think it has something to do with the templates in vbulletin.

- 17% of survey respondents expect the jobs market to "gets worse before it gets better," but twice as many -- 35% -- say the employment market "will improve."
- Few Americans believe the jobs problem can be fixed immediately, with 42% of respondents say fixing the jobs market will take "at least another year" and another 42% saying it will take "several years" to resolve.
- What industries do Americans see as holding the best hand? The Beyond.com survey says the top three industries for jobs potential are: health care (35% of respondents); manufacturing (23% of respondents); and technology (22% of respondents).
NEW YORK ( BankingMyWay) -- While most pundits gave the clear edge to ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama in last night's first presidential debate, U.S. workers may be taking a little longer to make up their minds on who's the best fit for the presidency. According to a study of more than 5,600 Americans from Beyond.com, a King of Prussia, Pa., career services network, the biggest driver in support for a given candidate is, not surprisingly, dependent on whether you have a job. While 62% of U.S adults surveyed say they are "optimistic" about job prospects, Obama leads among already-employed Americans (by 50% to 43%), while Romney has the backing by out-of-work or underemployed Americans (by 50% to 44%). Romney also has the support of more Americans who say he will bring "better employee prospects" for them if he's elected (by 46% to 41%). That said, the real X factor is what businesses think about the occupant of the Oval Office come January, Beyond.com reports. "Our survey confirms that the hiring picture in one's own backyard is going to be a determinant of how people will feel when they visit the polls," says Rich Milgram, founder and CEO of Beyond.com. "While job-seekers are hopeful, businesses are more tentative, taking a wait-and-see approach to hiring. With new policies potentially on the horizon, the post-election environment will have a significant impact on the number of immediate opportunities available to the U.S. workforce." The survey notes that the U.S. jobless rate rose across five of 10 so-called "battleground states" in August, although the unemployment rate in six of those states is below the national average of 8.1%. For what it's worth, economic analysts expect the jobless rate to rise to 8.2% when the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics rolls out its latest round of employment numbers for September. What additional views do Americans hold about jobs and the economy? Beyond.com has some conclusions there, as well:
