Her cheeks, jawline, and eye area look like they've been operated on. Also, she has probably had Botox injections to smooth out any existing wrinkles. Here's Marlo Thomas before and after plastic surgery.

,,,,,been able to connect a phone to a computer with the same cable before. Some cables will only allow for charging and other cable will allow charging and data connect.
I have a fairly new Lenovo Laptop, Idea Pad P580 with Win7 Home Premium SW. I also have the Samsung Smartphone SPH-D700 Galaxy S.
Both have the latest drivers, yet a USB wire connection from smartphone to Lenovo does not detect the smartphone on the laptop, even though on the Samsung side all is ok and it says USB connected. I like to be able to transfer pictures taken with the smartphone to the laptop.
So far no one of my friends can help.Can someone here?

A report in the New York Times on Sunday describes how, leading up to the recent US election, the Obama administration made a determined push to codify guidelines for its targeted assassination (aka 'Kill List') program and clarify rules for the use of US predator drones strikes overseas.
Critics of the US drone program have long made the argument that Democratic supporters of the President would perhaps lose their enthusiasm (or passive acceptance) for the "kill list" program if it was placed in the hands of a Republican president like the party's most recent hopeful, Mitt Romney.
The Times reporting on Sunday seems to indicate that the fear of handing over an ambiguous and secretive assassination program to a Republican administration was also shared by some top officials in the Obama administration.
Reported by the paper's Scott Shane, the article says that the "attempt to write a formal rule book for targeted killing began last summer after news reports on the drone program, started under President George W. Bush and expanded by Mr. Obama, revealed some details of the president's role in the shifting procedures for compiling "kill lists" and approving strikes."
Though the Obama administration has continually sought to protect the secrecy of certain details of its program, it has simultaneously defended its usefulness in combating international terrorism. This contradiction has been seized by international human rights groups, US civil libertarians, journalists, and the United Nations, calling on the US government to come clean on how it justifies the extrajudicial killing of individuals--both foreign citizens and American nationals--in countries like Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and others.
Shane reports that "the president and top aides believe [the programs] should be institutionalized," and that efforts to do "seemed particularly urgent when it appeared that Mitt Romney might win the presidency."
The report continues:
"There was concern that the levers might no longer be in our hands," said one official, speaking on condition of anonymity. With a continuing debate about the proper limits of drone strikes, Mr. Obama did not want to leave an "amorphous" program to his successor, the official said. The effort, which would have been rushed to completion by January had Mr. Romney won, will now be finished at a more leisurely pace, the official said.
Mr. Obama himself, in little-noticed remarks, has acknowledged that the legal governance of drone strikes is still a work in progress.
"One of the things we've got to do is put a legal architecture in place, and we need Congressional help in order to do that, to make sure that not only am I reined in but any president's reined in terms of some of the decisions that we're making," Mr. Obama told Jon Stewart in an appearance on "The Daily Show" on Oct. 18.
In an interview with Mark Bowden for a new book on the killing of Osama bin Laden, "The Finish," Mr. Obama said that "creating a legal structure, processes, with oversight checks on how we use unmanned weapons, is going to be a challenge for me and my successors for some time to come."
The president expressed wariness of the powerful temptation drones pose to policy makers. "There's a remoteness to it that makes it tempting to think that somehow we can, without any mess on our hands, solve vexing security problems," he said.
Despite public remarks by Mr. Obama and his aides on the legal basis for targeted killing, the program remains officially classified. In court, fighting lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and The New York Times seeking secret legal opinions on targeted killings, the government has refused even to acknowledge the existence of the drone program in Pakistan.
In an interesting aside, the report also notes that the United Nations plans to open a unit in Geneva early next year to investigate American drone strikes.
Such a development was hinted at last month when the UN's special rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights announced that the Human Rights Council at the UN would likely initiate an investigation into civilian deaths caused by the CIA and US military's use of drones and other targeted killing programs.
Ben Emmerson, UN special rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights, at speech given at Harvard Law School, that he and his UN colleague, Christof Heyns, the special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, warned that an investigation of the US program was warranted and said that if certain allegations against the US proved true, he would consider them serious enough to call "war crimes".

Greg Mulholland, the Liberal Democrat candidate standing in Leeds North West, has welcomed a commitment to ensure access to the HIV prevention drug Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) on the NHS for people in high-risk groups, which has been announced as part of the Liberal Democrat's election manifesto.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a once-a-day pill that reduces the risk of HIV infection by 86%.
Despite its proven efficacy and potential to deliver long-term savings, the NHS has yet to approve its use, and it is currently only available in the UK through a private prescription that costs approximately £400 for a month's supply.
Greg Mulholland stated:
"I am pleased that this commitment has been included in our manifesto, given the impact that PrEP would have on the rates of HIV infection, and it is vital that this drug is made available.
"This drug is incredibly effective in preventing HIV infection and this is far more effective than trying to treat people once they are infected."
Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Norman Lamb said:
"PrEP is a vital weapon in the fight against HIV, and it's high time that it was made routinely available to those who are at risk of infection.
"The Liberal Democrats in Parliament have led calls for PrEP to be made available to all high-risk groups.
"We know that PrEP is highly effective in reducing transmission of the virus. Prevention is always better than treatment, so it makes absolutely no sense to delay roll-out of the drug any longer."
Liberal Democrat Leader Tim Farron said:
"Offering PrEP on the NHS is the smart thing to do and the right thing to do, the needs of the communities this affects have been ignored for too long.
"The Liberal Democrats will act quickly to fix this injustice."
PrEP user and campaigner Nick Perry said:
"It's absolutely right for the Liberal Democrats to press the NHS to get on with commissioning a wholly effective and proven HIV prevention tool - PrEP - across the UK.
"Prevention isn't just better than cure clinically - trials and modelling have shown it to be highly cost- effective too.
"Each day 16 more people in the UK are diagnosed HIV positive.
"The end of new HIV infections is in our grasp, and the NHS needs to make it happen."

The Russian Far East is of great significance to the economic well–being and security of Northeast Asia. The region has an area of 6.2 million square kilometers—well over one–fourth of the Russian Federation's total area and three–fourths the size of the contiguous United States. By contrast, its population, at less than eight million, is just over five percent of the Russian Federation's total population. It lies nine time zones to the east of Moscow and is connected to the Russian heartland by communications links that are long, few in number, and vulnerable to boot, yet its wealth in energy and various industrial raw materials is abundant. It is located next to China, a rising power, and the Korean Peninsula, a potential flashpoint, and it overlooks Japan, the world's second largest economy.
The size, remoteness, and strategic salience of the Russian Far East raise the question of Moscow's ability to control and defend this region, the more so given a Russian government so hobbled by economic and military weakness that it can use neither fear nor favors to control its outlying regions. Under these circumstances, the fate of the Russian Far East is of great concern to Moscow. [1] For their part, residents of the Russian Far East tend to believe that Moscow has little to offer them, and that its priorities and concerns are becoming progressively disassociated from theirs.
What will be the denouement? One possibility is heightened tensions between Moscow and the Russian Far East, with Moscow seeking—ineffectually—to retain control, but unable to offer incentives to obey or disincentives to disobey by virtue of its economic and military weakness. Another possible outcome is that the leaders of the Russian Far East, facing pressure from Moscow, increased immigration from China, and growing Chinese power, may conclude that ties to the central government in Moscow and to the rest of Russia are critical to counterbalance Chinese hegemony and territorial claims. In addition to looking to the central government as a counterbalance, political leaders in the Russian Far East could seek to fan Russian nationalism, both in response to the perceived threat from China and as a means of promoting their political legitimacy. A third possible outcome is that the growth of Chinese military and economic power, combined with the decline and disunity of Russia, may lead the Russian Far East to be absorbed into a Chinese sphere of influence...

text: Wallace Edward Parham, 92, of Winston-Salem, N.C., passed away Sunday, June 15, 2014, at Brookridge Retirement Community. He was born June 14, 1922, in Asheville, N.C. to Carter and Myrtle Parham. Both parents preceded him in death as did his only sister, Peggy Compton. In 1940 he graduated from Lee Edwards High School in Asheville. Following two years at Mars Hill Junior College, he entered Wake Forest College (now University) graduating with Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa honors. Three years later he received a Master of Theology degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky where he met his wife of 67 years, Doris Neeley. Thus began a ministry of 42 years in the fields of Christian Education and Church Administration. He served in a number of strategic churches in the Southern Baptist Convention such as the First Baptist Churches of Roanoke, Va., Richmond, Va., Greenville, S.C., Oklahoma City, Okla., and Chattanooga; Main Street Baptist, Hattiesburg, Miss.; and Hayes Barton Baptist of Raleigh. During his career he worked with important Baptist theologians such as Dr. Theodore Adams and Dr. Herschel Hobbs, author of the Baptist Faith and Message. He was also one of the early pioneers of Sunday School literature. He and Dr. Hobbs produced a great deal of it on a regular basis for the Sunday school board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was a member, and president, of the Eastern Baptist Religious Education Association and a charter member, and president, of the Metropolitan Baptist Religious Education Association. In 1977 he received the Alumnus of the Year Award from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He served as Visiting Professor of Religious Education at Oklahoma Baptist University from 1965-67. He was also active in civic organizations, including Civitan, Lions, and Kiwanis Clubs. He served on the National Kidney Disease Foundation and was president of the Richmond chapter. He served as a member of the Ministerial Alumni Council at Wake Forest when the decision to begin a Divinity School was initiated. He was, also, chairman of the Bicentennial-Sesquicentennial Committee of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. He was a strong supporter of moderate Baptists and was influential in the creation of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. In addition to his family and church work, he had two primary interests, among others. One was his growing of roses. During the 20 years he and Doris lived in Chattanooga, he became a dedicated rosarian, not for show purposes but to share his beautiful roses with friends, especially the sick and elderly. He was a member of the local Rose Society. His other interest was travel, which began with attending meetings of the Baptist World Alliance in various places over the world. Altogether, he organized and conducted groups to eight BWA gatherings and three other groups to Europe and the Middle East. In addition to these trips, he and his late close friend, Dr. Elmo Scoggin of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, organized and directed an annual Bible study tour to Israel for approximately twenty years. This project was directed toward the training and development of seminary students. Finally, he was a lifelong supporter of Wake Forest athletics and attended all home football games and many basketball games during his years living in Winston-Salem. The highlight for him was being able to attend the Demon Deacons' appearance in the 2007 Orange Bowl game. In 1999 he and Doris moved from Chattanooga to Winston-Salem to be closer to family. They have since been a part of the Brookridge Retirement Community. Surviving family members, in addition to Doris, are son, David Parham, of Washington, D.C.; daughter, Carole Wilson and husband, Brad, of Raleigh; son, Stephen Parham and wife, Jill, of Columbia, S.C.; daughter, Lynn Stockard and husband, Chuck, of Greensboro; and seven grandchildren, Anne Wilson Kratz and husband, Rob, of Raleigh; Alex Wilson and wife, Mary Elizabeth, of Raleigh; Maggie Brown, of Charlotte; Evan Brown, of Greensboro; Caroline Parham, of New Bern; and Carter Parham and Lilly Parham, of Columbia, S.C. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at Knollwood Baptist Church with Dr. Kenneth Meyers and Rev. Chris Norman officiating. The family will receive friends following the service at the church. Memorial donations may be made to any local American Red Cross Chapter or a charity of the donor's choice. Online condolences may be made through www.salemfh.com.

Viral content has come a long way since kitten videos and epic fails. That isn't to say those topics aren't still staples of Internet success, but the stories that were most popular in 2013 showed that we're willing to think a little bit deeper than squee and slapstick humor. In fact, looking back at some of HuffPost's most shared stories of the past 12 months tells us a lot about ourselves and the things we love enough to tell our friends. The 13 story lines below show exactly what it took to break the Internet in 2013:
1. We loved to be reminded that our lives on social media are pretty annoying.
We might as well start where most viral stories do -- on Facebook. The blog Wait But Why documented the most annoying Facebook behavior, which readers promptly passed around on the social network, likely pretending that they weren't guilty themselves. Blogger Ashley Hesseltine also got a little more specific, calling out annoying couples around the world who make their big engagement announcements on Facebook.
2. So we turned to those same networks to share our amazement at real-life talent...
Our digital lives are filled with banalities, and we only rarely witness impressive feats of excellence in our real lives, which makes the Internet a great place to remind us that many humans are pretty damn good at what they do best. A capella performances were a clear standout, like this one by Florida State's AcaBelles, which capitalized on the smash-hit success of Lorde's "Royals."
Pentatonix also harmonized and beat-boxed their way to viral success with their rendition of "Little Drummer Boy," while The Piano Guys did a nontraditional yet hugely popular version of "Angels We Have Heard On High."
3. And to admire the strongest displays of human resilience.
Deborah Cohan simultaneously uplifted us and made us all look like a bunch of wimps this year when she and her doctors launched into a flash mob dance in the operating room just moments before she underwent a double mastectomy.
While many would be deathly afraid of the procedure she was about to undergo, Cohan -- and her medical team -- danced with genuine delight as Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" played in the room. Her display of bravery gained worldwide attention and praise. You can track Cohan's recovery here.
4. We understood that there are some people who deserve to be pointed and laughed at...
When a filmmaker launched a campaign to give a figurative groin-kick to Abercrombie & Fitch, the Internet said "yes, please," giving nearly 1.3 million Facebook "likes" to our article on the push. In his video, Greg Karber explained his plan to give A&F clothes to the homeless community as a response to the company CEO's super douchey comments about their products only being meant for cool, skinny, good-looking people.
5. And others who simply deserve to be recognized.
We got an intimate look at people whose bodies might not reflect traditional views of beauty this year, when Pro Infirmis, an organization for the disabled, launched this project to replace typical mannequins with molds of people with disabilities.
Introverts also got their time in the spotlight, with the success of "23 Signs You're Secretly An Introvert," a post that busted some misconceptions about introversion and likely led many to reconsider their personality type. And Dégagé Ministries provided this powerful examination of homelessness, when they gave a homeless veteran a makeover and showed his stark transformation.
6. We had our faith in humanity restored, repeatedly.
Random acts of kindness have a tendency to go viral, even when they don't promise to "restore your faith in humanity." A few such stories resonated particularly strongly this year. This "single guy" at a restaurant made us tear up when his server explained how he'd picked up the tab of a pair of strangers seated next to him after overhearing them emotionally discuss a medical diagnosis. People were also moved by this photo of a young man sleeping undisturbed on the shoulder of an older stranger on the New York subway, and by this middle school football team, which created a special play to allow their teammate with disabilities to score his first touchdown.
7. We received advice on living better lives.
Self-help is always popular, and 2013 was no different. People got some tips on basic day-to-day living with "The Habits Of Supremely Happy People," a series of suggestions that pretty much anyone can apply to their lives. Blogger Kate Bartolotta also chipped in her own two cents on being happy in the satirically titled, "How to Get Flat Abs, Have Amazing Sex and Rule the World in 8 Easy Steps."
We switched from "do" to "don't do" in "23 Things Every Woman Should Stop Doing," a story about some basic behaviors that many women find themselves doing on a daily basis, and should feel empowered to stop.
And for those who simply want an articulate, philosophical reason to live life to the fullest, just check out this video from filmmaker Jason Silva.
8. And hilarious commentary on the things we put ourselves through willingly.
Apparently a lot of people can commiserate with a nightmare experience at Whole Foods, which, for comedian Kelly Maclean, happened during a rather typical visit to the store. In her yuppy anecdote that struck far too close to home for many of us, Maclean made us all wonder why we continue to make regular visits to the "land of hemp milk and honey."
9. We were obsessed with love and marriage...
Aren't we always? We were particularly wowed this year when a Chicago Bulls cheerleader got the surprise of a lifetime in the form of a wedding proposal in the middle of an on-court performance.
We also couldn't help but smile when this recently married couple totally nailed the iconic routine from "Dirty Dancing" at their wedding party.
10. And with those little bundles of joy and noise that sometimes show up as a result.
Babies are a constant source of joy, even when they're not so happy themselves. While we'll never know for sure if this baby was actually crying at her mother's singing -- it could have been gas -- we were all happy to believe that she was.
But most of us know that babies are more than just constant sources of "awwww." For anyone not clear on just how challenging it is to be a parent, this standup routine from comedian Michael McIntyre should help set the record straight.
11. We remembered that it's perfectly acceptable to be who you are.
2013 was a big year for LGBT rights and acceptance, and this grandfather's epic smack-down of his intolerant daughter who'd kicked her gay son out of the house showed us both how far we've come, and how far there is left to go.
12. And we laughed at lies and half-truths...
With all of the fear-based opposition to marijuana out there, it's worth remembering that this GIF still accurately shows all of the people who have died after overdosing on the drug.
13. And because this one little girl really just didn't give a @#$%.
Who needs a routine when the beat of your own drum is this badass. We could all take a some notes from this tutu-wearing tyke.
And now for some more traditional viral bait:

How Taxpayers Foot Walmart's Bills
By Allison Mannos
Walmart's expansion strategy for Los Angeles and other urban areas has been to avoid public oversight by choosing real estate that doesn't require public review - and, where possible, to secure public subsidies, often with little public scrutiny.
Walmart sign in Duarte, Calif. Photo credit: Brave New FilmsThis is exactly what happened in both Covina and Cathedral City. In 1993, Walmart negotiated an intricate deal with the City of Covina's redevelopment agency that resulted in the company making a tidy profit of $4.1 million. Walmart made a $10.8 million loan to the CRA to purchase several plots of land for the corporation, which was then sold back to Walmart at the discounted price of $6.7 million. In this way, Walmart effectively received a $4.1 million subsidy from taxpayers to develop the land.
Similarly, in 1995, Walmart was reimbursed by Cathedral City for $850,000 for "infrastructure improvements," but on the day that taxpayers recovered this subsidy, the company promptly closed its store and opened that same day two miles away, just across city boundaries in neighboring Palm Springs.
More recently, the City of South Gate was awarded $12.7 million for public improvement projects related to a proposed Walmart in the new Azalea Retail Project along Atlantic Avenue. While a jobs agreement was rumored to have been signed by the city and the developer, the scale of the subsidy should have prompted local leaders to fully assess what it was getting for its investment and how residents would benefit. South Gate is actually forking over much more than one subsidy for this project, which will include a Walmart Superstore as its anchor: Future Walmart employees who receive public assistance will also be subsidized by taxpayers, at about $1 million annually, or roughly $5,815 per employee.
Since the 1990s, some cities, like Los Angeles, San Jose and Sacramento, have passed legislation to make these types of deals more transparent. In Inglewood, after voters beat back a Walmart-funded initiative that would have given the company carte blanche to build whatever it wanted, the city adopted a superstores ordinance.
These local laws notwithstanding, most cities do not have the tools to ensure transparency and a means of assessing what the impact of a superstore will be. A big box bill, AB 667, passed the state Assembly and is now pending in the state Senate. It takes its cue from Inglewood and other cities which have passed similar laws. The bill would require developers to provide cities with more information for projects receiving public subsidies. By requiring similar economic impact reports as the Inglewood ordinance, the law would enable the public to assess what impacts the supercenters would have on taxpayers, small businesses and other affected groups.
To date, Walmart has chosen, more often than not, to forego the economic impact reports; one must question why there is hesitation to demonstrate impacts when the company itself often claims that it benefits communities.

Walmart provides jobs and good prices for the shopper. If some of its employees are--or will be-- on welfare, it's not Walmart's fault.Walmart beginning salaries are not great, but when they announce hiring, there are tons of people who come to apply.Unions want to prevent poor people to get jobs.
More info is always required.
It's sad to note that Assemblyjerk Marc Levine voted against this in committee. He voted FOR Target when they applied to come into San Rafael, his "home" town. And he voted against this bill when it was on the Ass floor.

GuidAttribute Class
Supplies an explicit System.Guid when an automatic GUID is undesirable.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
You can apply this attribute to assemblies, interfaces, classes, enumerations, structures, or delegates, although the Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) can apply it for you when it imports a type library.
The string passed to the attribute must be in a format that is an acceptable constructor argument for the type Guid. To avoid conflicts with the type Guid, use the long name GuidAttribute explicitly. Only use an explicit GUID when a type must have a specific GUID. If the attribute is omitted, a GUID is assigned automatically.
The following example demonstrates how to apply the GuidAttribute to a class that is exported to COM with a fixed GUID.
Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Starter Edition, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2000 SP4, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, Windows CE, Windows Mobile for Smartphone, Windows Mobile for Pocket PC, Xbox 360, Zune
The .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework do not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.


text: FadeToGray 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Hi, Just wanted to adress an annoying issue I'm having. I've installed CameraBag 2 through steam on my new laptop, which is a Dell XPS 15 with a 4k 15 inches display. It's running Windows 10, and it's been having some serious issues with scaling. The interface is too tiny to be even remotely comfortable to work on it. Somebody does have a solution to this? Is Nevercenter aware of the problem? I've been using Camerabag for various years and never had a single issue! Please solve this. P.S. Other programs had bad scaling (like autocad or photoshop) due to bad complatibility issue which was faut of the programmers; anyway it was solved by creaing a .manifest file along the main .exe and everything was fine. This solution tho is not working with CameraBag! Thanks Appreciate any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Preston have secured the services of former Falkirk defender Brian McLean, signing the Scot to a two-year deal.
The 26-year-old has been on trial at Deepdale and featured in four of their pre-season encounters.
Speaking to the club's official website, boss Phil Brown said: "I think the versatility of Brian was the important part, his main position is centre back but he can also play at right and left back."
He added: "He is a defensive minded player and he is the type of lad I can work with.
"He has got a voice, he has got an opinion and he has a little bit of experience in the Scottish Premier League.
"For me it was a welcome addition and Brian has definite attributes that we can work with.
"Now that Brian has accepted the deal, I am looking to getting my teeth into working with him in a really tight back four."

Despite having private-equity commitments, the $2 billion-asset United Western Bank in Denver failed Friday.
The Denver thrift was the largest of four seized institutions that brought the year's total number of failures to seven. Regulators also closed banks in the Carolinas and Georgia in a busy night that also saw a shelf charter and a deposit insurance national bank utilized.
Collectively, the four banks represented $2.7 billion in assets and are expected to cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund $455 million.
Last October , United Western Bancorp Inc. announced that it had received as much as $103 million of capital commitments from private-equity firms Lovell Minnick Partners LLC and Oak Hill Capital Management LLC to invest up to $47 million each. Another $9 million was expected from Henry "Ric" Duques, the controlling owner of Legent Group LLC, the parent of Legent Clearing LLC, a company that United Western announced in June 2010 that it would buy. All three investments, however, were hinged on the company raising another $100 million from other sources.
By November, the company said it was working with the Office of Thrift Supervision on write-downs on its private-label mortgage-backed securities portfolio. In December, it announced that its thrift was undercapitalized at Sept. 30 after a $16.3 million other-than-temporary charge on the securities.
Late Friday, United Western Bancorp said in a press release it had $149 million of capital commitments and "strong indications of interest in excess of $70 million."
"We were making steady progress with regard to completing our capital formation efforts and were within sight of the completion of our $200 million raise," said Guy A. Gibson, United Western's chairman and chief executive. "This precipitous action by the OTS and the FDIC will ultimately cause an unnecessary loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund, since our private market solution was near at hand. Our solution would have avoided any loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund and spared the industry millions of dollars of additional assessments now required to cover this cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund."
Its failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $312.8 million.
First Citizens Bank in Raleigh, N.C., entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to buy United Western Bank's assets, with $1.1 billion of those assets covered in a loss-sharing agreement. The $21 billion-asset First Citizens also agreed to assume the thrift's $1.65 billion in deposits without paying a premium.
Earlier in the evening, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance closed the $100.9 million-asset Enterprise Banking Co. in McDonough but the FDIC was unable to find a buyer. Instead, the FDIC established a deposit insurance bank, a rarely used tool designed to avoid mass payouts by giving depositors time to shop for a new bank.
The FDIC has used such a method just a handful of times in the past 30 years. In the current economic cycle, it was employed for winding down the $828 million-asset Barnes Banking Co. in Kaysville, Utah, in January 2010 and the $2 billion-asset New Frontier Bank in Greeley, Colo., in April 2009.
Deposit Insurance National Bank of McDonough will remain open until Jan. 28. The FDIC will retain all of the assets for later disposition. The bank had $95.5 million in deposits and its failure is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $39.6 million.
The South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions closed the $440.6 million-asset CommunitySouth Bank and Trust in Easley. The bank was sold to CertusBank, a newly chartered bank owned by Blue Ridge Holdings Inc. in Charlotte.
Blue Ridge, which is led by Milton Jones, a former Bank of America Corp. regional president, was granted a shelf charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in October. The venture is reportedly backed by $500 million of capital from various investors.
CertusBank assumed all of CommunitySouth's $402.4 million deposits without paying a premium. It also agreed to buy essentially all of its assets and entered into a loss-share agreement on $211.3 million of the assets.
CommunitySouth's failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $46.3 million.
In North Carolina, the Office of Commissioner of Banks shuttered The Bank of Asheville. First Bank in Troy, N.C., agreed to assume the failed bank's $188.3 million in deposits at face value. First Bank also agreed to buy the bank's $195.1 million in assets, with $166.3 million of the assets covered by a loss-share agreement.
The Bank of Asheville's failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $56.2 million.

From Frontier Retreat on the Upper Ohio, 1779-1781, edited by Louise Phelps Kellogg (Madison: Wisconsin Historical Society, 1917), pp. 58-61 (12CC138)
From the Monongahela, we moved to within 5 miles of Wheeling; remaining there until the Indians compelled us to move into Wheeling Fort. Before we moved in one McBridge was killed out on the waters of Wheeling...We went out and around by and to Silas Zane's; my father being at that time over the Ohio (about a mile from us) after Indians.
From Zane's we went to the fort. While we were there one morning, were out Jacob Coles, John Mills and Dr. McMahon, looking for McMahon's heifer. McMahon was intending to move out of the fort. I was out at the spring, when the firing was heard. About twenty men seized their guns and ran out. Jacob Coles and John Mills were killed, and Dr. McMahon wounded. The Indians seemed to have made as much sign as possible. When they got to the mouth of Wheeling to which the trace led, John Saunders said to the Company, "I wish we were over the other side of the River." Some one said they wouldn't wish to be over the other side. They believed there were plenty of Indians that side. Letters were found on the trail, left by the Indians inviting the pursuers to come over and join them that if they would bring a flag they shouldn't be hurt, and should have fine quarters at Detroit. Dreading some evil consequences from these letters, all the members of the party were mutually sworn not to divulge the secret of their contents, for the next six months.
Dr. McMahon sent an Irishman, and his black man Loudon, out in the morning to get the oxen. When they got out, the Indians were in ambush and took after them. The Irishman was overtaken and tomahawked; but the negro, who was too swift for them rushed into the fort, and cried "Indians, Indians." The men in the fort snatched up their guns, and ran, some without their hats. A high mountain puts in just by Wheeling. There the Indians drew the pursuing party to follow them round this mountain, having others prepared to follow them in the rear, till they closed in on both sides, and the whole party but two cut off. These were Sam. Mason (a Captain) and one Caldwell, who did not get started as soon as the others, and so were not surrounded. Mason and his sergeant encountered two Indians, Mason called on the sergeant to shoot. Both shot on both sides. Both the Indians and the sergeant, named Steell, were killed and Mason wounded. He now crept down under the banks of Wheeling Creek, where he lay till night, and then got on to Shepherd's fort, about six miles.

On September 21, 2015, St. Thomas University School of Law hosted a delegation of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The IACHR Chair, Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, launched a three-state investigation into the situation of racial discrimination and the issue of police violence against persons of African descent with a Community Forum at the University.
The commission heard from alleged victims of police abuse in Miami-Dade during the first leg of the fact-finding mission into racial discrimination and police violence in the U.S. at the two-hour community meeting coordinated by the Community Justice Project. There was testimony from the mother of Travis McNeil, killed during a traffic stop in 2011; Demetrius Vaughn, a dream Defenders activist arrested by at least four officers; and Rosetta Bryson, a co-founder of South Florida "Black Lives Matter" movement describing the injustice people of color receive from some officers.
The IACHR protects and promotes human rights in the thirty-five state-members of the Organization of American States (OAS), and Commissioner Antoine invites community members to testify regarding human rights abuses occurring in South Florida in terms of policing, housing, health, education, wage theft, and more. Ms. Antoine said the delegation came to Miami-Dade County because of the widely publicized reports about incidents of police abuse involving African Americans. The commission's report is expected to be published early next year.

As of today the Sony Xperia SP is now available in India. It's pretty clear that the company wanted to launch a mid-range device too, after the release of its high-end smartphones, the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL. The Xperia SP was announced a couple of weeks ago and it seems like an interesting handset for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on a flagship.
The Sony Xperia SP comes with a 4.6-inch TFT LCD screen that has a pixel resolution of 1280 x 720. The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus dual-core CPU clocked at 1.7 GHz, and an Adreno 320 GPU. It also includes 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of on-board storage space, which can be further expanded via microSD card, an 8 MP rear-facing camera and a 0.3 MP VGA front one. As for the battery, the Sony Xperia SP sports 2370 mAh one. Also, the device comes running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which even though it's not the latest version of Google's OS, it does include some nice features.
It's obvious that the Xperia SP has some pretty awesome specs for a mid-range. However, the price is also pretty high and the device is sold in India for Rs 27, 490 (around $518). Of course, isn't that expensive comparing to other mid-range handsets manufactured by other phone makers, but it will be rather hard to sell as former flagships such as the Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X had their prices cut due to their successor's arrival. If we think about it, the Sony Xperia SP includes hardware that is not that far away from the flagship smartphones of 2012, so it's worth buying at this price.
There is another advantage that comes with the Sony Xperia SP as the people who will buy it will have free access to Sony's Music application for six months. The application provides music streaming and a huge database of more than 15 lakh songs. Also, the Xperia XP owners will have access to the Sony LIV video streaming application.
The device will be available for purchase in retails stores from mid-April in both color versions, namely white and black.
Are you buying the Xperia SP or you prefer the Galaxy S4, which will released on April 25.

OGDEN — Police have taken two people into custody after an alleged bank robbery in Ogden.
Around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, police responded to a reported bank robbery at a KeyBank located at 3565 Harrison Blvd. in Ogden, according to a press release from the Ogden Police Department.
Bank employees told police that a man entered the bank and demanded money. He did not display a weapon, but the man was given an unknown amount of money and left the area in a vehicle, the release said.
Ogden Police officers found the vehicle near 22nd Street and Washington Boulevard and a police pursuit began. The chase lasted about 12 minutes before police caught two suspects in the area of 600 North Porter Ave., according to the release.
Officers used "pursuit intervention techniques" to apprehend the two suspects.
A man and a woman were taken into custody by Ogden officers and FBI agents, the release says.
As of 4:15 p.m., the two were still in the custody of the Ogden Police and had not been released or transferred to another building, according to Lt. Tim Scott of the Ogden Police.
Neither have yet been booked in the Weber County Jail.

A Somali deputy national security minister has expressed disappointment over Wednesday's suicide car bombing outside a hotel in the capital, Mogadishu.
At least 15 people were killed in the attack and dozens more wounded, including Somali parliament members. The militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility.
Abdihakim Egeh, Somalia's deputy Interior National Security minister said the bombings will not prevent the security progress that he said is currently taking place in Mogadishu.
"First of all, on behalf of the government, I'd like to send our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in that cowardly act from yesterday in Mogadishu, and I'd also like to wish [a] speedy recovery to those who were injured in the act as well," he said.
Lack of good governance has made Somalia almost ungovernable for decades. But Egeh said Somalis, especially those in capital Mogadishu, have started to rebuild their lives, thanks to relative security.
"After our government liberated Mogadishu, people are coming back to their houses; they are coming back to rebuild their destroyed businesses and houses, and, it's really depressing to see something like this [Wednesday's bombing]," Egeh said.
Egeh credits Somali security forces and African Union peacekeepers for their role in bring relative stability to Mogadishu.
"I can assure you that the streets of Mogadishu are becoming safer and safer every day, and I'd like to take this moment to thank our security forces for making this possible," Egeh said.
Egeh said the Transitional Federal Government has reached out to al-Shabab, but the Islamist group has not responded in kind.
"Our doors are open to anyone who is willing to talk to us about bringing Somalia back to what it used to be," Egeh said.

I'm still somewhere between three hours and three weeks from officially becoming a father, but I feel qualified to provide the following observations: 1) The most asinine "debate" humans can have is whether or not "we're pregnant" or "she's pregnant." 2) Forget what they say in books and magazines—the best advice the mate of a pregnant woman can get is what Triple Door booker Scott Giampino told me about eight months ago: Just be there.
Caspar Babypants plays the Salmon Bay Eagles (upstairs) at 3 p.m.Here's your complete guide to Reverb Festival 2010.
That said, I still have no idea what I'm getting myself into, and EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE! (Seriously, it's as if everyone has a little secret about having kids, and that secret is that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE!) And considering we're due on Halloween, and we've been calling our son Casper for nine months, I thought it appropriate to ask Presidents of the U.S.A.'s Chris Ballew—whose second album of kids' music, This Is Fun, as Caspar Babypants, drops on Nov. 2—for a little advice. Here, the father of a 10- and 13-year-old dishes the details about being a dad, poo, and getting pregnant . . . again.
SW: So what parenting tips do you have?
Ballew: I think the blanket, big-picture advice I would have for parents is learn to be empathetic, and acknowledge what your kids say. You don't always have to say yes, but acknowledge what they say, and hear them, and let them know you heard them—and I think you can eliminate a lot of stressful interactions through simple empathy.
What about advice for brand-new fathers, from, say, day 1 to day 101?
What I did is I got up every morning with my baby. And I was the morning-duty guy. And that was incredibly awesome time, and really mellow and quiet and watching the sun come up with the baby in your arms and falling asleep again on the couch and feeding it and kind of bonding with the baby during the morning hours. I did that with both my kids their entire childhood. I just love those memories.
Before you started making music for kids as Caspar Babypants, when you were raising your kids, was there any music in particular that they responded really well to?
Yeah, mine. I used to lay them out on a blanket and just play guitar and improvise songs for them. And they responded to them great. Of course, I recorded them all as I did them, so I have all these fragments—the blanket sessions, as I call them—and some of those are turning into great Caspar songs. They [also] responded to classical music and the Beatles and a Sesame Street collection of hits lying around that they loved. They liked it all.
Disposable or reusable diapers?
There's no conclusive evidence as to which one is more taxing on the environment. So for pure convenience, and lack of touching poo, which you do a lot as a parent, I'd go disposable.
How do you feel about BabyBjörns?
Oh, I love them. I love seeing little babies coming towards me, all kicking and looking around. They're just hilarious.
Is there an indispensable baby/parenting accessory?
Oh, the little bouncy swingy thing that claps into the doorway. It's kind of a sling with leg holes that you put the baby in and they can kind of bounce around in while you're in the kitchen making dinner. That thing is killer.
For first-timers, what's the best way to get pregnant?
Have sex. A lot. I tried once and then tried again. And, bam, it worked. Yeah, have sex. That's a short answer. Two syllables.
