- 1. Chairman Morris to Payson RoundUp: No GOP "Feuding" in Gila County
Follows is a September 2017 letter written by Gary Morris, Chairman of the Gila County Republican Committee, to the Editor of the Payson Roundup newspaper. It seems that this newspaper, like many others across Arizona, despise Republicans and will do all possible to defeat them. In this case, Arizona Sen. Sylvia Allen is the target.
The Roundup recently published a front-page story titled "Feuding factions in GOP" about disagreements between State Senator Sylvia Allen and Navajo County Republican Committee Chairman Steve Slaton. It was placed at the top of the front page fold (a position generally reserved for only BIG stories).
I'm a bit confused as to why a small story in a town 100 miles away would be pertinent, or of interest, to Roundup readers to rate such an important "headline" position — except for a political punch.
Could it be that the Roundup's true intent was to discredit REPUBLICAN State Senator Sylvia Allen? Or to also discredit any Republican candidate, committees, or clubs in Gila County?Click here to read more

- 6. Why I Support Jim O'Connor for AZGOP Chair, and Not Jonathan Lines
#1: My personal experience of Jim O'Connor has been extremely positive. First, he educated me on the serious problems associated with Rep. J. D. Mesnard's National Popular Vote bill (HB2456), which he brought up during last year's legislative session. This was a complex issue, and Mr. O'Connor and I exchanged several emails and telephone calls in the process. I also did independent research. This resulted in an article that I published titled "Stop the National Popular Vote Compact in Arizona." Mr. O'Connor made a very impressive appeal before the House of Representatives against the National Popular Vote leading them to defeat that bill last session. He's prepared to do it again.
Second, as a member of the Mommy Lobby, I deeply appreciated Mr. O'Connor's leadership in LD23 in helping to pass HB2088, which protects students against surveys that gather private, personally identifiable information. He advised his representative in LD23, Heather Carter, "Our 444 Precinct Committeemen are reflecting the opinions of the 70,000 registered republican votes in our district overwhelmingly protecting the rights of parents and children. Please represent these and other republicans who desire to restrain government overreach." She voted in favor on reconsideration, and this bill passed. Mr. O'Connor has stood firmly in support of legislation that honors parental authority and rejects federal control of education in Arizona.Click here to read more
- 7. County and State Party Candidates Should Not Seek Endorsements from Politicians
by Maricopa County Republican Committee Chairman Tyler Bowyer
Many have seen in recent weeks a few endorsements from Public Office Holders of Candidates for those who wish to serve in County and State Party positions. I want to make a statement and say this is absolutely wrong. One of the primary reasons that the Republican Party exists is to hold Elected Officials accountable. Having our Party Officeholders beholden to Elected Officials through endorsements and donations is precisely what's wrong with the GOP today. It should raise many red flags of Party Candidates who seek these endorsements as it is akin to the adage of the "Fox in the Henhouse." This is terrible judgment both on the part of the candidate and the elected official.Click here to read more
- 8. Defending Old Glory - AZ Sen. John Kavanagh Wants Stealing Flag To Be a Felony
Arizona Republican Senator John Kavanagh (LD23) will be introducing a bill during the upcoming Legislative Session that will make stealing the American flag a Class 6 felony. In the following Fox News interview, Sen. Kavanagh explains that currently, stealing the flag is only a misdemeanor theft, akin to stealing a pack of gum from a convenience store. When someone steals a flag from someone's yard, they aren't just stealing something that doesn't belong to them. Not only is the flag a venerated object, but also, when someone displays the American flag, they are exercising their Constitutionally-guaranteed First Amendment freedom of expression. They might be displaying the flag to express patriotism, mourning someone's death, or as a protest. This is an important right.Click here to read more
- 9. Stop the National Popular Vote Compact in Arizona
"Democracy" has a nice ring to it: One Person, One Vote. However, that's exactly what the Founders did not want: Majority (aka Mob) Rule. When Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A Republic, if you can keep it." Ours is a Constitutional Republic, but only if we, the people, care enough to participate in keeping it.
Our presidents are chosen through a combination of a popular vote and the Electoral College that represents the states. Each state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for Senators. This keeps a handful of the most populous states from dominating all the other states. For example, Donald Trump won the popular vote in Arizona. Thus, the Republican party's 11 Electors will vote for president. Had Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, Arizona's 11 Democrat Electors would be voting for president. (In contrast, California has 55 Electors.) See below for two short videos: Do you Understand the Electoral College? and The Popular Vote vs the Electoral College.
Unfortunately, there is a movement across America that is gaining traction called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It would distort the procedures of the Electoral College. It would usher in the very "democracy" that the Founders did not want. It is unconstitutional.Click here to read more

10 arrested on drug charges in Marion, Peabody
News editor
Law enforcement officials arrested six more people on drug charges Thursday and Saturday, bringing the total to 10 arrests since April 19.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Ida French of Marion on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, no drug tax stamp, and child endangerment on Thursday. She was released on a $5,000 bond Friday morning. She is scheduled to appear in court at 10:30 a.m. May 20.
Sheriff Rob Craft said the arrest was made after execution of a search warrant and found pounds of marijuana.
Another search resulted in five arrests Saturday in Peabody. Lena Fisher, Melissa Fisher, and Athena Goddard were each arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamines, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Roy Scott was arrested on a charge of possession of methamphetamines. Justin Chrisjohn was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamines, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal use of a weapon.
Chrisjohn was released on a $10,000 bond at 4 p.m. Saturday, and Goddard was released on a $10,000 bond at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. They are scheduled to appear in court at 10:30 a.m. May 20 and May 6, respectively. Scott, Lena Fisher, and Melissa Fisher remained in jail with no bond as of Sunday.
Craft said law enforcement officials had been working on the cases for a while before enough information fell into place to get the search warrants.
Syringe at school led to arrests
A child taking a syringe to Marion Elementary School led to the drug and child endangerment arrests of two Marion residents April 22.
Ninety minutes after school officials reported the syringe, which Police Chief Tyler Mermis said tested positive for methamphetamines, a search warrant was obtained for the child's home at 319 S. Cedar St.
Mermis didn't know why the child took the syringe to school. School administrators declined to comment on why the syringe was taken to school or how it was discovered.
Police reported finding a few grams methamphetamines, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Shanna Zampieri, 42, and Robert Hicks, 22, were arrested on possession and child endangerment charges. Five children were taken into protective custody. They await placement, Mermis said Thursday.
In an unrelated case, two additional children were taken into protective custody and placed with family members after two other Marion residents were arrested April 19 on charges of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Mike and Chelsea Darrow, ages 28 and 27 respectively, were arrested after a search of their home at 502 S. Freeborn St.
Chelsea Darrow was released the same day, and Mike Darrow was released the next day, both on $2,500 bond. Mike Darrow was booked into jail again Thursday to serve a 48-hour court commitment related to his probation from an earlier case.
The children taken into custody in the two cases were between the ages of 2 and 17.
Despite an official request from this newspaper under the Kansas Open Records Act, police initially refused to release the names of those arrested.
An earlier story said that eight rather than seven children had been taken into protective custody in the two cases. The error was because of a lapse in memory by Mermis, who wasn't looking at the files at the time.
Names of those arrested were obtained from the Marion County Jail roster, which under state law is freely available for inspection by reporters and members of the general public.
The roster was inspected after the newspaper contacted a Topeka attorney retained by the Kansas Press Association to help ensure open access by the media and public to government meetings and records.

From section control on his Case IH sprayer to an RTK system that keeps machinery from crushing crops, technology is essential to Tennessee farmer John Smith. It's a subject that he's passionate about, even in the middle of his 2013 corn harvest.
"A lot of our yield potential follows soil type, so we're trying to push our best ground to produce more, and we're trying to identify our weaker ground" to minimize risk, he tells Farm Journal Radio's Pam Fretwell. In a given field, it's possible to have between four and five soil types.
That targeted approach is on his mind during this year's corn harvest, which is about 50% finished on his operation. He's already looking ahead to 2014, when he plans to variable-rate his seeding and fertilizer. (Click here to learn more about Smith's technology goals in an earlier 2013 harvest report.)
Between implementing new technology and harvesting and delivering his crops, Smith typically works between 16 and 18 hours. That leaves little time for sleep.
"I put up about 800 tons of straw a year, I bale all of my wheat straw," he says. "So tonight I will leave here and I will go to Evansville, Ind., to a company that I deliver straw to. We do that every week, and they use it to make their erosion-control netting you see on the side of the road."

Team not satisfied after season openers.
After playing 10 sets in a double header to open the season, the LCC volleyball team wasn't exactly pleased in the split.
The Lady Lancers started the 2013 season with a win and a loss after Johnson-Wales University defeated LCC, 3-2, while LCC beat Surry Community College, 3-2, Saturday at home.
After Johsnon-Wales downed SCC while the Lady Lancers broke, it seemed a SCC victory was a shoo-in -- but the Warriors gave the home team a run.
LCC won the first two sets against SCC, and the match came down to a decisive Game 5. Although they escaped with a 3-2 win (25-14, 25-18, 19-25, 21-25, 15-12) there was melancholy in the air as the game ended.
"I think we're just tired, it's been a long day," said outside hitter Elaina Price, one of only two returners. "I don't think we did the best we were able to do. Our passing was kind of sloppy and a lot of us wanted to tip when we had an opportunity to actually hit the ball hard."
She said she was glad the young team pulled together to "finish strong."
"We're going to have to work on ball control and where we're going to hit the ball," Price said.
Assistant coach David Barnes said the Lady Lancers should have beaten Johnson-Wales in the first match, but bad touches and defensive placement gave the game away.
"We worked tremendously hard on ball control and we worked tremendously hard on where to be on defense, and there's just so many times we're still not in the right defensive spots and allowing balls to fall," he said. "(Those are) easy plays if you're in the right spot. So we're turning easy plays into difficult plays�"
LCC trailed SCC by as many as 10 points when they were up 2-0 in the third set. Key hitters Price and freshman middle blocker Essence Perry were benched to rest up for Game 4. Perry had a strong start in the first two sets.
"Essence is highly capable of being a humongous contributor to this team," Barnes said. "Right now, we know that she has the ability. It's is just staying focused on every touch of every point and staying physically ready on every point."
Barnes said LCC must play each point with the mind of champions. He comes off 11 years of coaching a winning program at Scotland High School.
"We've got to practice like champions and we've got to come out and play like champions," he said.
Barnes said the Lady Lancers played up to par in their winning sets against SCC Saturday but fell off toward the end. LCC will go back to practice and work out logistic and communication glitches the team experienced in the season openers.
" When five and six of us start taking breaks at different times, then there's a breakdown on the court," Barnes said. "We can't do things like that because we're not good enough to make up those points once we give them away. We're giving too many away right now, and that's why we went five sets today."

Slowly the darkness dissolved into light. I looked around me and saw a plain room. I was lying on a mattress with no bedding in the corner. The room had one window but it was up very high where it would be impossible to see out. Looking through the window from the bed only revealed a small patch of grey sky. This place was unfamiliar. Why was I here? Where was I before I fell asleep? I tried to remember, but nothing came to me. Slowly I realised that

Ready, Set, Quilt!
What does it take to get the layers of a quilt onto a long-arm machine? Machine-quilter Nancy Sharr shows us how it's done on a Handi Quilter.
Step 1
Match center marks of backing and front leader (fabric strip attached to the front pole of the machine).Related Links
Step 2
Pin backing, wrong side up, to leader with corsage pins.Related Links
Step 3
Place pins close together, leaving less than 1⁄4" gaps, to avoid areas with uneven tension.Related Links
Step 4
Roll up backing onto front pole, keeping it straight, smooth, and centered. Continue until bulk of backing is rolled, leaving enough slack to pin opposite edge.Related Links
Step 5
Matching center marks in the same manner, pin opposite edge of backing to back leader. (Our backing is made from two contrasting batiks.)Related Links
Step 6
Roll remaining backing onto front roll.Related Links
Step 6 Continued
NOTE: The order of loading the backing and quilt top--and which roller/leader you put them on--varies depending on the long-arm machine manufacturer.Related Links
Step 7
Lay quilt top, right side up, on quilting frame. (We loaded our quilt top sideways so we could stitch the vertical sashing strips in one continuous design.)Related Links
Step 8
Matching center marks, pin front edge of quilt top to the remaining leader.Related Links
Step 9
Roll up quilt top, keeping it centered and smooth. If you're using a packaged batting, prepare it for the next step by smoothing it out over the quilting frame and letting it sit overnight.Related Links
Step 10
Tuck batting between the rollers and shift it to the top of the backing. Unroll quilt top and bring it up to the top of the batting/backing sandwich.Related Links
Step 11
Look at the upper edge of the quilt from the side of the machine, making sure the edge of the quilt top is straight. Also look at the surface of the quilt top to make sure it's flat. Smooth out small bumps or tucks in the batting with your fingers.Related Links
Step 12
Thread the machine. To save time, Nancy cuts the old thread at the back of the machine, ties on the new thread, and pulls it through to the needle eye.Related Links
Step 13
Before quilting the layers, follow the manufacturer's manual for where and how often to oil the machine.Related Links
See machine-quilting in action! Watch Nancy Sharr use rulers and stitch allover, edge-to-edge designs.Related Links

Impotence Post Radical Prostatectomy
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Three years ago my husband had a radical prostatectomy, followed by radiation therapy. The good news is that no cancer has returned, the bad news is that he is still impotent. We tried Viagra & couple other things: nothing works.
Please help us. AG
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear AG,
Thank you for your question and interest.
Sexual impotence after radical prostatectomy is a very common complication. It occurs quite often even in the most experienced hands. The incidence of sexual impotence after radical prostatectomy is dependent upon age of the patient, stage of the disease, other co-existing medical problems, surgeon's skill, and perhaps, luck as well.
Surprisingly, very few studies have been done to address the management of post-prostatectomy impotence. Of the patients who regained potency, the majority of them recovered within 18 months. Unfortunately, the likelihood of recovery of potency 3 years after prostatectomy is quite low. One of the alternatives is to have inflatable penile prosthesis or another mechanical device inserted. I would suggest that you and your husband discuss this issue with a trained urologist.

With three full time filmers searching the globe for snow, and a three-song teaser already released, the Rome SDS has been busy since November working on a full-length shred movie to be released in August—Any Means, by Kids on Shred Productions. Mix in some contests, the Vegas trade show, a cross country drive, breaking in a new team Flophouse in Tahoe, and an extremely unpredictable snow year; and you get a season where Rome's team riders have been bouncing around all over the place.
Bjorn Leines has been cruising between Colorado and Utah for some pow jumps and wall jibs. He's also been managing to jet to Vegas and Europe's ISPO trades show for Celtek. Just prior to Vegas, BJ nabbed the anniversary cover of Transworld Snowboarding, so we're all really stoked for him on that.
Max Legend spent the majority of the early season racking up a big bag of bangers in Eastern Canada—check the teasers. He left before every other film crew cruised up there, but fell victim to a series of injuries in Pennsylvania and Tahoe that have had him posted up at Tahoe Flophouse trying to rehab both his back and elbow.
Marius Otterstad and Jesse Fox have both been chasing the Whistler snow pretty hard. Between backcountry jumps and jibs, to several trips to the interior and the States, these two have been logging some serious hours on their trucks and sleds. Marius tweaked his ankle a bit, but used his down time to purchase a new house in Salt Lake City. Jesse graced the cover of Future Snowboard Mag with a shot taken by Rome team manager Paddock while they were getting it done in Chile last fall
Marie-France Roy has been very busy. Between filming rails in Canada, to heading to China with Oakley, Marie has been logging more travel time than almost anyone on the team. MFR has been hitting the contest scene pretty hard as well and definitely getting her days in front of the camera for the Rome movie.
Jonaven Moore has been off to a great start, taking full advantage of the good snow in the interior BC region, as well as getting to work with film vet and Rome staff filmer Gary Pendygrass. Look forward to unique lines, good snow, and serious steeps from Jonaven. On a side note, Gary took a break from filming to ride in the Mt Baker Banked Slalom, where he finished tenth in the Pro Master division and beat his brother Dano.
Casey Neefus got banged up a bit while he was in Canada, but he's managed to heal up pretty well. Now he's been cruising between Whistler and Montana, as well as making sure to pop in from time to time on the Flophouse in Tahoe.
LNP and Yan Dofin have been on a mission this season. These two have packed a one two punch of rail tricks that will no doubt have everyone scratching theirs heads next winter. They started out early season by spending a month wrecking just about every spot in Eastern Canada. Next it was on to the States where the two hit up Red Mtn Pass Colorado before heading on to Tahoe. LNP is now back in Whistler cruising around on his sled, while Yan has been hitting up some secret rail spots in the greater Chicago area.
Brendan Hayes has been filming with Casey in Montana as well as meeting up with Yan for some railing. He's also been hard at work filming with the Midwest's Autumn Line crew.
Our favorite Finn Jussi Tarvainen has had a rough start to the year. He blew out his knee in the fall while riding one of Japan's snow domes, but have no fear, Jussi has almost made a full recovery from surgery and he claims he's just about ready to start shredding. He should be ready to film spring kickers and park booters before you know it.
That's about it from the team side of things here at Rome. The regional AmArmy has been hard at work as well, meeting up with pros and logging shots for the movie. Check out the teasers for Any Means at www.romesnowboards.com/anymeans and look for the full-length movie coming this fall.

Dec 2, 2012
By MaryKate McHugh
Cita Strauss, a 1977 graduate of the College of Fine Arts' School of Dance, is passionate about singing and the arts. To put some of this passion to work, Strauss established the Betty Moran Chorale Music Fund, named in honor of the music teacher she had while growing up in Cincinnati.
The gift, a more than $15,000 endowment, will support Ohio University student chorale groups by funding the purchase of supplies, defraying travel expenses to events and concerts, and developing outreach and educational programs, Strauss said.
"This is a broad gift made with the hope that students will no longer have to choose whether or not to participate based on money," said Strauss, who lives in Athens and returned to Ohio University to earn a master's degree in political science in 2006. "I gave back to the arts because it is who I am."
Along with singing while growing up, Strauss took music classes as electives when she was undergraduate student. Strauss said singing brings joy to her life, and today she is a proud member of the Ohio University Choral Union, an integrated choir of students, faculty and community members.
"(Singing) is like skiing. While I am singing, I am concentrating on the music in front of me and watching the director," she said. "When I ski, I focus on the twists and turns of the hills."
Strauss knows the importance of providing art opportunities for the public to discover. Strauss founded Factory Street Dance Studio in Athens in 1978, a non-competitive dance studio that promotes technique, self-esteem and personal growth. While Strauss no longer owns the studio, it is still in operation today.
"It is one thing to be an artist; it's another thing to be an artist who teaches. Teaching is admirable and magical," Strauss said.
The Betty Moran Chorale Music Fund is aimed at providing those same opportunities to discover art—but for OHIO students.
"It inspires me to see students choose to take singing courses as opposed to other electives," she said.
The Betty Moran Chorale Music Fund gift is part of Ohio University's The Promise Lives Campaign, which seeks to raise $450 million by June 30, 2015, and already has secured more than $411 million toward its goal in support of students, faculty, programs, partnerships and select facilities at Ohio University.

Case Number: 5-304-504(A), Year Published: 2004
HBS Number: KEL052
Health Care, Genetic Testing, Patient Advocacy, Non-government organizations, Patenting, Global
The case describes Myriad Genetics and its struggle to develop a genetic testing service while facing challenges from competitors and activist organizations. After Myriad's discovery of the BRCA gene, capable of genetic testing for breast cancer in women, Myriad would need to choose a strategy to provide this service to the public. With several major competitors offering similar services, intense media scrutiny, and a charged activist and political climate, a poor Myriad decision could face major repercussions.

It takes a long time and lots of care to make this spread, but its effect in the kitchen is instantaneous. It all begins on the Mahjoub estate in the Medjerda Valley, outside of Tunis, Tunisia. There, the organic garlic is grown and harvested. Each clove of garlic is released from its bulb and spread in the hot desert sun to dry. Sun drying concentrates the flavors of the garlic, bringing out the sweetness beneath the surface.
Open the jar, take a sniff and start imagining all the dishes it'll improve. The flavor is deep and savory but not overpowering, like a fresh clove might be. The cloves are blended with the Mahjoubs' own organic olive oil and not much else to make a spread capable of catapulting your cuisine to the next level. Drop a dollop atop grilled meat, or mix a bit with olive oil and vinegar for salad dressing. Slice up a baguette, lather on a bit of spread, top with fresh tomatoes from the market and voila! Instant hors d'oeuvre!

Technologists came together on the eve of Veterans Day to come up with a better way of coordinating medical records for veterans.
The first ever MetLife "TechJam," held in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park in early November, brought together more than 75 technologists to apply their talents toward the improvement of veteran health care.
This 32-hour event challenged participants to produce a focused electronic health record solution in support of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and its mission of improving the lives of veterans and their families.
A large percentage of veterans are believed to suffer from one or more chronic conditions. Many of these patients see multiple health-care specialists to manage their conditions, lending even more urgency to the production of a streamlined, coordinated approach to health care.
Organizers hoped the event would help bring about integrated veteran health records, given the fragmented nature of the VA health-care system, where huge volumes of veteran health records are spread between different medical facilities and some 1,500 databases.
"We are proud to have brought together some of the brightest minds in technology to help facilitate faster and easier sharing of vital health information, enable coordinated care and ultimately better the lives of our nation's veterans," said Gary Hoberman, MetLife CIO and senior vice president of regional application development, in a statement.
In addition to an overall winner, top prizes were awarded in four divisions: mobile; data integration and augmentation; user experience; and predictive analysis. Participants were asked to make their solutions shareable by using open source code.
"The ideas and technologies that emerged out of the TechJam are a tremendous advancement into our ongoing efforts to improve veteran data management," said Joe Paiva, chief technology strategist for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. "These solutions will be revolutionary for both medical providers who serve our vets and veterans themselves."
Organizer MetLife partnered with a number of organizations for the event, including Microsoft, Infusion and MongoDB. Talent from local universities and tech companies -- including IBM, DB Global Technology, Cognizant, Tata Consultancy Services and Duke University -- also participated.

WebEx Meeting Tip – Start Your Next Meeting with a Personal Touch!
Start your next meeting with a personal touch by using one of two tools that let you add branding, excitement, information and more to your meeting before it even starts.
Get your free WebEx basic account here.
Tip #1: Use the white board to provide a welcome or instructions!
Use the white board to post an agenda, give dial-in instructions, list who's attending and much more.
All you need to do it go to the Share > Whiteboard menu option and it will appear. The grab the text tool, choose a color and start to type. See the photo on the right as an example.
Tip #2: Share a photo (a.k.a. document) to make starting a meeting a welcoming experience.
This is the same idea but it requires a little more effort. In this case, you'll want to find an image that conveys the feeling you want to establish. You can also use your logo or something with your brand so folks know they are in the right place.
Use the annotation tools (same ones you used on the white board) to add words to the image. Cross marketing to other resources is a great way to use the "idle time" while your guests wait for the meeting to start. Provide your web address or a URL for your Facebook page so they can "like" your company while waiting for things to get started.
One thing to note, if the image is really large (think pixels) the text size will reduce in scale. So use an image that's not too big. You might want to experiment a bit. To import the image go to Share>File.
Both these features are available in the WebEx basic account that you can get absolutely free. With it, you can meet with two other people so it's a cool way to try meeting online and expressing your personal style!

In the aftermath of all of the boss strategies and the hopeful fall of Deathwing I think that we need a bit of a break away from all of the seriousness.
Let's take a step away from all of the serious topics and maybe even take half a step away from WoW even.
There're a large number of things in WoW that I think most of us take for granted. I mean, yeah, there are a whole lot of issues that we may see as effecting us negatively that we wish were different but over time, over years, there are things that we just sort of assume is there and always was there.
Isn't it funny how it's only after such things are taken away that you even notice their presence?
Seeking a bit of a break from WoW, I wandered over into a galaxy far, far away and gave Star Wars: The Old Republic a bit of my attention, just for a change of pace.
Do you have any idea how easy we have it fighting dragons and riding on dragons and getting help from dragons (there are an AWFUL lot of dragons on WoW, isn't there?) when those poor shmucks from the future don't even have half of what we have?
I know that leading your raid can feel a lot like you're herding a bunch of cats at times but think about how hard it would be if there wasn't a threat meter. Not a single one. There was no way to measure how high on that aggro list you were.
Granted, that's how WoW used to be. Back during old school Molten Core runs, our only real measure of threat was "wait for three sunders," but times have changed so much since then that those of us that actually remember those times feel a little like the old grandpa on the porch when we get some new player in the raid that's only started with Wrath or Cataclysm.
And damage meters. Don't even get me started on those. I know, it's more of a quality of life and after analysis change than anything else but the best Star Wars folks can really do to see which build works better than another is "I feel that this is doing more damage."
You may be sitting there telling me that you're perfectly fine without either of those things, that you real tanks don't need damage or threat meters to do their jobs properly.
How about macros? Do you like those macros. Well, Star Wars doesn't have em.
I know. About three quarters of us threw up our hands in outrage while the other quarter, the weekend tanks and the casual alts just blinked and said, "but I don't USE any macros."
So think about everything that you have and thank the gods that you have em.
Or, if you want to try take a walk into the unruly wilds of a relatively freshly released game, grab Star Wars and think about how much you miss WoW when you're all up there with your lightsabers and blasters in space.

- The health of Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Toney Douglas.
- All three guys played with injures throughout the playoffs last season and their health is key to the Knicks success this year. Stoudemire, marred by injuries throughout his career, is said to have strengthened his injured back during the off-season. Anthony had knee and elbow procedures done during the off-season. He also hyperextended his knee earlier this week but is said to be fine. Douglas had shoulder surgery in May and is thought to be completely healthy.
- The point guards
- Toney Douglas, Mike Bibby and rookie Iman Shumpert are the point guards currently on the Knicks roster. Douglas has experience running the point but often plays erratically and plays out of control at times. During the playoffs, after Chauncey Billups' injury, Douglas struggled to run the point effectively as the Knicks were swept 4-0 by Boston. Mike Bibby is 105 years old. He was god awful for the Heat last year. He could not play defense, shoot effectively or run with opposing point guards. However, with a new supporting cast and an offensive system known to get the best out of players, Bibby may end up bringing some vet leadership to this Knicks team. I believe he can still shoot and run the point somewhat effectively. Bibby won't show up on ESPN like Chris Paul lobbing dimes to Amar'e and Melo but I think Bibby can give this team 10-15 effective minutes a night. Rookie Iman Shumpert is an athletic marvel. He is 6'5, fast and he can jump out of the building. He has all the tools to be an elite point guard. The question for him is going to be how quickly he can adopt D'Antoni's offensive system. I think he has a good shot to start by midseason if he plays well. However, knowing D'Antoni, if Shumpert struggles early he may be exiled to the Roger Mason section of the bench.
- Who steps up off the bench?
- Right now, the bench looks like this:
PG: Mike Bibby, Iman Shumpert
SG: Shumpert, Bill Walker (sigh)
SF: Walker, Renaldo Balkman (double sigh)
PF: Jared Jeffries
C: Jerome Jordan, Josh Harrellson
Guard Devin Green and center Chris Hunter are training camp bodies and I would be surprised to see either player get more than a few minutes today.
- Unfortunately, with the 66 game compressed season, the Knicks will be very reliant on their bench this year. I say unfortunately because right now this bench is in flux. There is no clear 6th man. There is no proven bench scorer who is good for 8-10 points per game. Jerome Jordan and Josh Harrellson are both promising young players but both seem to be works in progress at this point. Shumpert has the potential to be a difference maker off the bench but has yet to prove anything. Until these young players show their worth, this bench will be under a microscope all year. Obviously Knick fans cannot stand Jeffries. I actually like what he brings on defense, effort and versatility, but he is an unbelievable hinderance on the offensive end of the floor. Balkman is just anemic. There is very little he does well. He will put in effort defensively but he also brings nothing offensively. Balkman is a bonafide scrub. Obviously I am not a big Bill Walker fan. He can't dribble or defend with any effectiveness. I will say he is a good 3 point shooter and he is athletic but if he is going to be relied upon off the bench this year we need more than that. We need him to defend well, especially if he is the backup 3, and we need solid all around production out of Walker's game. I just do not believe he is capable. It will be interesting to see if any bench players leave their mark against the Nets because right now this bench looks very weak.Follow @tarmosino

There's a lot to be done. At the end of the day I've spent more time writing at a desk than not. If I'm not writing emails, developing amendments, building grants and milestones, directing processes or catching up with colleagues, then I'm at my desk writing papers about regulatory pathways for vaccine development or citing examples of risk-based approached to clinical trial monitoring or defining the importance of why Good Clinical Practice is fundamentally important in pharmaceutical product development. When I'm not doing those I'm gchatting with the bestie, catching up on personal messages, paying bills and organizing my life. This is the writing life of a young, unmarried, graduate school professional.
Moreover, when I'm not doing those things, I'm at the gym, physical therapist, massage therapist, head therapist, so I can be better, stronger and healthy do all those aforementioned activities. I'm therapy-ing all over this place.
What I WANT to write about is me, my life, my thoughts and my comings and goings. What I WANT to delve into are my successes, aspirations, struggles, realities, and life approaches. I want to do this because it's therapeutic for me and as much as I can spew onto this page, the less it swirls in my head. I'm talking about big ideas like how to tackle life to the little ideas like why and I'm obsessed currently with Halsey version of Justin Bieber's Love Yourself, Amazon Prime's Mozart in the Jungle, and bittersweet chocolate chips (no relation to each other). Or how I've planned a trip to Big Sur which is currently only includes a reservation at an inn in Carmel and nothing else (who has ideas?!).
What I want is to see the world, eat fresh bruschetta with olives and almonds and drink smooth and crisp wine under Tuscan summer afternoons, and sail the Grecian Islands. I want to create art, do something with my hands, hike to expansive views, ride long bike trails and laugh with the ones I love. I've got a long bucket list of "want to dos" and this year I'm focusing on those.
So you see, there's a lot. To do, to be done. But there are only 24 hours in a day and I am but one person.

UBS announces share issuance plans.
In connection with its merger with PaineWebber, UBS announces an initial new issuance from authorized capital of 12 million ordinary shares and the re-issuance of 7 million shares currently held in Treasury.
UBS today announced the share issuance activity that it plans in connection with its merger with PaineWebber, which is expected to complete on 3rd November 2000.
UBS expects to deliver a total of 41million of its shares as part of the merger consideration.
UBS has the flexibility to supplement new share issuance and the re-issuance of Treasury shares with borrowed shares, backed up by the ability to use its "green-shoe" option to issue additional tranches of authorized capital for a period of three months following the completion date. The total amount of new shares issued in connection with the merger transaction will therefore only be fixed in the period following completion.
Given this flexibility, UBS has chosen to make an initial issuance from authorized capital of 12 million ordinary shares, as well as re-issuing 7 million ordinary shares currently held in Treasury. The remaining shares delivered at the completion of the merger will be borrowed shares. As a result of this activity UBS's holdings in its own shares will fall below the Swiss stock exchange reporting limit of 5% of outstanding shares.
With the election period for PaineWebber shareholders having closed on 1st November 2000, UBS is also able to make a preliminary announcement that valid cash or stock elections representing 77% of outstanding PaineWebber shares have been processed, with cash elections currently accounting for 95% of those shares with elections processed. Shares for which no election has been made account for a further 2% of outstanding shares.
Zurich / Basel, 2 November 2000
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found in various places throughout this press release and include, without limitation, statements concerning the expected timing of the proposed merger. While these forward-looking statements represent our judgments and future expectations concerning the development of our business and the timing of the merger, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to the factors that we have indicated could adversely affect the merger contained in our past and future filings and statements, including those filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements regarding matters following the completion of the merger of UBS and PaineWebber are subject to such completion.

The Burgess Shale
Strange Creatures - A Burgess Shale Fossil Sampler
More than half a billion years old, the fossils of the Burgess Shale preserve an intriguing glimpse of early life on Earth. They were first discovered in 1909 by Charles D. Walcott, then Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. This group of fossils takes its name from the Burgess Shale rock formation, named by Walcott after nearby Mount Burgess in the Canadian Rockies. The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History currently houses over 65,000 specimens. The museum also has a permanent exhibit of the Burgess Shale fauna near the Dinosaur Hall. Since Walcott's original discovery, fossil deposits like these have been found in such widely dispersed areas as China, Greenland, Siberia, Australia, Europe, and the USA.
These fossils merit special interest for several reasons:
- They were buried in an underwater avalanche of fine mud that preserved exceptionally fine details of the structure of their soft parts. Only hard parts are preserved in most other Cambrian deposits, obviously limiting information within the geologic record.
- They represent an early snapshot of the complexity of evolving life systems. The Burgess Shale fossils as a group have already developed into a variety of sizes and shapes from the much simpler, pre-Cambrian life forms.
- Many of them appear to be early ancestors of higher forms; from algae to the chordates (a major group of animals that includes human primates). Others appear unrelated to any living forms and their later disappearance presents an intriguing mystery.
This web site only provide a small sample of this notable collection. Here you may view photographs of fossil specimens and reconstructions of this ancient biota by scientific illustrator Larry Isham.
In addition to brief descriptions of the creature's life, habitat, and place in biological history, we have included the literal translations of their genus and species names to give you an idea why and how scientists go about naming the creatures they discover. We also provide a pronounciation key to these names. However, many species were named after local Native American place-names and we aren't sure about the original native pronunciation.

|Statement by H. E. Ambassador Li Baodong, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, at the Security Council Open Debate on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict
(May 10, 2011)
Mr. President,
I wish to thank the French delegation for having convened this open debate. I also wish to thank Under-Secretaries-General Amos and Le Roy and Assistant Secretary-General Šimonović for their statements.
China is deeply concerned about the safety of civilian lives and property during armed conflict, which have been negatively impacted and threatened. We condemn acts of violence deliberately targeting civilians in situations of armed conflict. Today, I wish to underscore four points.
First, the strengthening of the protection of civilians in armed conflict must strictly abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. The responsibility to protect civilians lies first and foremost with the Government of the country concerned. The international community and external organizations can provide constructive assistance, but they must observe the principles of objectivity and neutrality and fully respect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the country concerned. There must be no attempt at regime change or involvement in civil war by any party under the guise of protecting civilians.
Secondly, in order to fundamentally address the objective of the protection of civilians, more must be done in the areas of conflict prevention and resolution. The Security Council should as a priority engage in preventive diplomacy and prevent or reduce conflict in regions where there is turmoil. The Council should as a priority urge the parties concerned to cease hostilities and achieve a ceasefire. Only by actively promoting a political solution by peaceful means through dialogue and negotiation can civilian casualties be minimized. Military means are not an effective answer to these issues.
Thirdly, strengthening the protection of civilians in armed conflict must be done through implementation of Security Council decisions in a comprehensive and strict manner. The original intention of resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011) was to put an end to violence and to protect civilians. We are opposed to any attempt to wilfully interpret the resolutions or to take actions that exceed those mandated by the resolutions. In implementing the resolutions, efforts must be made to avoid yet greater civilian casualties.
Fourthly, the protection of civilians in armed conflict involves the development and evolution of the norms of international humanitarian law, which should be discussed in depth by the wider membership of the United Nations in order to reach consensus. Conflict situations vary, and there must be no one-size-fits-all approach to the protection of civilians. Various parties still hold divergent views on the responsibility to protect, and the General Assembly should continue its discussion on this matter.
The deployment of United Nations peacekeeping operations alone cannot fundamentally address the issue of the protection of civilians. In authorizing the United Nations to protect civilians, the specific situation of the country concerned, as well as the capabilities of the United Nations, must be taken into full consideration. United Nations peacekeeping operations must continue to abide by the principles of objectivity and neutrality and avoid taking sides in local political disputes or even becoming a party to the conflict.Thank you, Mr. President.

Rediscovering nature, one 'lost' plant species at a time
MEDFORD — Bryan Hamlin did not expect to find much of interest when he and his wife, Anne, embarked one Sunday in April 2003 on a walk through the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the large nature preserve near their new house.
Hamlin — a plant lover who had "botanized'' in far more glamorous landscapes — entered the Fells with modest expectations. But as they hiked deeper in, he was impressed by the richness of the flora, and started noting what he saw.
"This place isn't so bad,'' he recalls thinking.
So when he came across a Boston University study reporting 155 plant species had disappeared from a section of the Fells over the last century, he vowed to give the matter a second look, a "proper follow-up.''
Now, after a nine-year quest, Hamlin and collaborators have documented finding 105 of the purportedly lost species. And he says he's learned that citizen scientists can make important contributions to science, though he fears they're often not heard.
The authors of the original 1996 paper, Richard Primack of Boston University and his graduate student at the time, Brian Drayton, say Hamlin's work doesn't undermine their basic conclusion — that the number of native species is declining as nonnative plants increase — but credit the citizen-organized effort with providing a more complete data set.
Hamlin's team surveyed the entire reservation and spent far longer looking — 2,000 hours, versus less than 400 by the BU team — which accounts for part of the difference in their findings.
Hamlin, 72, a skilled amateur botanist who did his first plant survey as a boarding school student in England, typically dons a fisherman's vest when he goes out into the field. He fills the pockets with a magnifying lens, a notebook, and two pens — in case one fails — and an old knife that his wife won't miss to take samples.
Even in winter, he will halt over a pile of dried leaves, his blue eyes widening behind round wire-rimmed glasses, as he recalls the drama of spotting something quite wonderful there in another season: a very rare buttercup.
Back when he began his study of the Fells, Hamlin was winding down his peace work for a non-governmental organization, which involved traveling to conflict-prone areas of the world to help facilitate dialogue between opposing groups. Even during those trips, greenery was never far out of Hamlin's mind. In Israel, he once pulled over to jump a fence and take a photo of a giant hollyhock while his traveling companion, an imam, looked on in confusion.
A microbiologist by training, Hamlin kept a spreadsheet and recorded where he found plants in the Fells and whether they were blooming. He brought his tripod and camera into the woods at times and used the cluttered solarium of his Medford house to do plant pressings, stacking encyclopedias atop samples to dry them out.
Amassing the list became like a personal challenge and the botany of the Fells his avocation — one that would outlast two other stints, first selling insurance door-to-door, and then substitute teaching.
Early on, at the urging of Betty Wright, one of his collaborators, he approached Primack at a meeting of the New England Botanical Club to present a list of the team's initial discoveries. Primack, he recalled, was not dismissive but said he was then focused on conducting a far more detailed survey of the flora of Concord.
Hamlin recruited other team members, to make up for his own shortcomings. Walter Kittredge, a skilled botanist who works at the Harvard University Herbaria, joined the effort. So did Donald Lubin, knowledgeable about ferns.
The team ultimately prepared a painstakingly-researched, 79-page scientific paper that was published last year in the journal Rhodora. Parts of it agreed with the general findings of the BU report — for example, the number of nonnative species had tripled in the Fells, and the majority of native plants that were rare in 1895 were either not found or stayed rare.
But there was one major difference: Hamlin and his researchers rediscovered two-thirds of the "lost'' species.
"We've always been quite cordial about this, because that's the way science happens,'' said Drayton, who now works at TERC, a Cambridge nonprofit organization involved in science education. "Our conclusion that there was substantial species loss, though not as substantial as I thought. . . I think that stands.''
Science is a conversation, with competing results building off one another, and Primack said he and Drayton plan to write a letter to Rhodora presenting their response. But Hamlin has become philosophical about the relationship between amateur and professional scientists. He learned of a separate community of naturalists in Concord who, despite also having respect for Primack's work and his conclusions, raised similar concerns about the completeness of his plant inventories.
"We and others believe, for example, that a list of 'lost' or 'extinct' species compiled by Dr. Primack and his co-workers represents more a list of what they happened not to be able to find rather than a list of what is truly gone,'' Ray Angelo, a skilled amateur botanist and close observer of Concord's flora, wrote in an e-mail. "This is not to say there has not been change in Concord's flora for a variety of reasons.''
In a way, the debate over whether a particular species still grows shines a light on how science works. Primack recognizes the importance amateurs have played in his own work, helping guide him to the right spots and productively critiquing his observations with their local knowledge. But he added that professional scientists, looking for the effects of long-term changes, sometimes have different goals than amateurs.
Primack said he and his colleagues have waded waist-deep into numerous bogs in Concord, searching for the once-abundant pitcher plant. A naturalist and longtime resident, Cherrie Corey, informed him the plant was still in Concord, in a bog called Gowing's Swamp.
Primack said she's probably right. But he added that the large swamp has an unstable surface, making it difficult to access.
"She will say I'm wrong because there are pitcher plants in Concord, but a species which used to be extremely common is now extremely rare,'' Primack said. "It's a difference in perspective.''
Hamlin notes that even single, rare stands of plants can be ecologically meaningful: a lone rare plant could mean the plant is vulnerable and on its way out. But a rare plant could be gaining a foothold — which could also be an indicator of environmental changes. Hamlin has seen both in his data.

Some Lessons from United States Constitutional HistorySweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: A constitution is more likely to be accepted if it federalizes those issues that are widely seen as needing complete harmonization. A constitution is more likely to endure if the federal government does not have powers that are not vital to it but which may alienate some member states to the point that the federal government loses legitimacy. It appears vital to have trade policy at the European Union level; for euro countries, monetary policy is already federalized. It is not clear that common foreign and defense policies are needed; insisting on common foreign and defense policies may lead to conflicts within and across member states that severely weaken the Union, conceivably contributing to eventual collapse. Insisting on harmonization of commercial codes does not have the destructive potential of attempting completely to harmonize defense and foreign policies; it may, however, lead to needless conflict that helps drain the reservoir of goodwill that the European Union will need for dealing with other conflicts amongst member states.

Lessons for the EU from United States History, 1789 - 1861Sweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: If secession or expulsion ends in a "velvet divorce," as with Czechoslovakia, costs are minimal and the split is relatively unimportant. High costs arise if a federation splits into mutually hostile, comparably sized regions. Perhaps the majority of splits lead to dangerous hostility. A well-designed constitution minimizes the likelihood of hostile splits by limiting the issues that are dealt with at the federal level, by providing checks and balances, and by establishing due process under the rule of law. Preventing the conditions under which a hostile split may arise is more costeffective than trying to optimize the terms of a split or to find last-minute compromises to forestall the split.

Why Didn't the U.S. Civil War Go On and On?Sweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The post-Civil War reconciliation between the North and the South is a very rare event in the history of civil wars. The South was thoroughly beaten. Top generals, particularly Robert E. Lee, saw further fighting as "useless effusion of blood." There was no call by top Confederate leaders for continuing the fight with the type of bushwacking that occurred in Missouri and Kansas. Reconstruction is often thought of as harsh, but compared to the standards of history Confederates were by and large treated well after the Civil War. Within a decade or so of the end of the Civil War, conservative white elites had established political, economic and social dominance in the South. They had lost their "slave property" and the "government of our own." They could never get back slavery, and a government of their own was not worth fighting for. There was little reason for the kind of persistent low-level guerilla warfare that often occurs after civil wars, or the organization of a succession of rebellions.

Lessons from the Causes of the American RevolutionSweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Because the conflicts that led to the American Revolution mainly arose from constitutional issues, the history of these conflicts offers lessons for the design of the new European Union constitution. One lesson is the importance of avoiding needless conflicts between federal and member-state governments. In particular, forcing decisions on where sovereignty lies may cause great conflict. Another lesson is that a federal system depends on good will among the federal and member-state governments, and because this good will is easily dissipated, efforts should be made to nurture it. Federal exercise of power will often alienate member states; thus, a sensible strategy is to grant the federal government only the minimal powers that a strong consensus agrees it must have, and to change these powers only by strong consensus. Removing "democratic deficits" may not be sufficient in many cases to give legitimacy to exercise of federal power; minorities may require protection by constitutional limits on federal powers.

Michael Rubin has a string of worthwhile posts up at Commentary, including reports from Iraq where he is visiting. I want to call particular attention, though, to Rubin's post about Syria, which draws heavily from what he has learned in Iraq.
Rubin argues that "arming Syrian rebels is strategic suicide." He explains:
This trip. . .has been a wake-up call: Not only Iraqi Shi'ites, but also Iraqi Christians, Iraqi Kurds, and even many Iraqi Sunnis oppose American provision of arms to the Syrian rebels on the grounds that the Syrian rebels are either more radical than the Americans realize, or that nothing will prevent the so-called moderates whom the United States arms from selling or losing the weaponry to the radicals.
There is a real sense of urgency, here, as Iraqis believe they will be the first victims of Sunni radicalism in neighboring Syria. . . .Regardless of ethnicity and sectarian preference, a consensus is emerging in Iraq about the character of the Syrian opposition.
With all due respect to congressmen and some advocates for arming the Syrian rebels, those in the region are better able to vet Syrian rebels than U.S. officials 6,000 miles away. As tempting as it may be to think otherwise, and just as it remains with the Mujahedin al-Khalq and the Islamic Republic, the enemy of one's enemy is not always one's friend.
Rubin doesn't conclude that the U.S. should therefore favor Assad's continuation in power. An Assad victory, he says, "would embolden both Tehran and Moscow and ensure the spread of conflict to areas far more important to the United States."
But Rubin argues, as I have, that the answer "is not to give weaponry to the Syrian rebels—a move that would make the 'Fast and Furious' scandal seem positively benevolent." Rather, if anything, we should "use American air power to prevent any aspect of the conflict perpetrated by either side which could undercut American security."

Seriously, it was a Triumph. Capital-T Triumph. No ifs, ands, or buts about that one. But it might not've been a triumph compared to its stablemates.
The fact that the Triumph TR4A is often overlooked alongside its more brash brand contemporaries like the Triumph Spitfire and the Triumph GT6 is a bit of a sad one. Sure, those cars had more powerful engines, and they were more stylish, and sold in greater numbers, but it's not like the TR4A deserves to toil away in obscurity.
The "A," in "TR4A," stood for Independent Rear Suspension, in case you hadn't figured that out yet, and who wouldn't. It was supposed to be the more comfortable traditional British roadster, with its fancy new suspension, and it was also supposed to be pretty powerful, too.
With its itty-bitty 2.1-liter four-cylinder engine pumping out 104 horsepower, however, it's not like it was going to be burning any barns down, contrary to the claim of the ad here. But then again, it weighed just 2,240 pounds, so it's not like it was painfully slow, either.
The TR4A was eventually succeeded by the TR5, which wasn't such a huge change even cosmetically, and then the perennially gorgeous TR6, which sold in massive numbers.
But when the TR4A first went on sale, it was going up against another sporty convertible – the Ford Mustang.
And no matter how hard the little Triumph tried, it couldn't outdo the competition. Which is incredible, considering how when it first went on sale, it was priced at the equivalent of just a hair over $18,500 in 2014 dollars.

Symbolic Verification of Graph Transformation Systems with Hardware Model CheckersZeit: Wed 1.3.2017, 13:00, 60 Minuten
Ort: Computer Science Building, HS 19
ZusammenfassungIn this talk I present a novel symbolic bounded model checking approach to test reachability properties of model-driven software implementations. Given a concrete initial state of a software system, a type graph, and a set of graph transformations, which describe the system's structure and its behavior, the system is verified against a reachability property. This reachability property is expressed in terms of a graph constraint. Without any user intervention, the presented approach exploits state-of-the-art model checking technologies successfully used in hardware industry and reports the result back to the user. I demonstrate the efficiency of the approach based on a case study.
VortragenderSebastian Gabmeyer is a post-doc at TU Darmstadt since January 2016. He finished his PhD on model checking based verification techniques for graph transformations under the supervision of Gerti Kappel and Martina Seidl in 2015. After a brief intermezzo in industry he joined the Security Engineering Group led by Stefan Katzenbeisser where he works on hardware based cryptography like Physical Unclonable Functions and remote software attestation.

Incident spurred by argument about woman
An argument about a woman Monday night may have led to one man chasing another with a knife.
Around 10 p.m., two men were talking in the 300 block of South Adkin Street when the discussion allegedly got heated.
�The victim told the officer that he was having an argument with the suspect over his girlfriend,� said Woody Spencer, spokesman for the Kinston Department of Public Safety. �The victim then stated that the suspect � after a short period of time arguing � pulled out a knife and began to chase him. The victim advised he escaped and ran home.
�Nobody was hurt.�
The incident was reported to police the next morning.
Since officers were unable to verify the victims� claim, he was instructed on the process of swearing out a warrant against the suspect should he want to do so.

Today, Samsung unveiled two new tablet/hybrid devices, including the ATIV Tab 3, a follow up to the ATIV Tab, which we've covered before.
The device features a 10.1" 1366x768 display with an Atom Z2760 process, full Windows 8 with S-Pen and it comes in at a very sprightly 8.2 millimeters thin and weighs just 550 grams (1.2lbs). Much like the previous ATIV Tab, it's an elegant looking device and a nice follow up if only because they made the display smaller (the old one was 13.3").
In our opinion, 10.1" tablets are ideal for portability and ease of use, with it fitting more naturally in your hands. Toss in the optional keyboard and you have a nice little productive machine for on the go or when at home.
The ATIV Tab 3 also had 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage with microSD, microHDMI and one USB 2.0 port, making it quite flexible for most users.
We're hearing an August release window for this full Windows 8 tablet at a $699 price point, which does include the keyboard (we imagine you can get it for $450ish without a keyboard).
Watch our hands on video and glance at the photos. Let us know what you think below.
