Friday's Lancaster News article on law-enforcement costs for an incorporated Indian Land highlights a significant discrepancy in charges for similar services throughout the county.
Until this year, the sheriff's office provided law enforcement services for the incorporated area of Heath Springs. When the cost for those services increased from $23,500 to $38,500 earlier this year, Heath Springs chose not to renew the contract. Presumably, they still receive some level of coverage from the sheriff because they are still part of Lancaster County.
In the last two years, there have been three incidents at churches in Charleston, Antioch, Tenn., and Sutherland Springs, Texas, where a man with a gun entered the church and began shooting.
Thirty-six people were killed and many more wounded. In each of these shootings, the helpless victims were trapped and unable to defend themselves.
In his Sunday column, the editor expressed legitimate concerns about the deaths that have occurred in several recent mass shootings.
He mentioned the failure of the Air Force to forward information to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, that would have precluded Devin Patrick Kelley from acquiring the firearms that he used in the shooting at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas.
Editor's note: This occasional column takes you behind the scenes with Hannah Strong, who has been reporting for a little more than a year.
My grandma Reba Bruton used to get up from our Christmas present-opening time to grab the white Walmart bags.
Inside were her three granddaughters' presents.
She gave these same – but different – presents to all of us each year.

The Public Employee Benefit Authority – the agency responsible for administering the state's retirement plans – recently released its annual report assessing the South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS).
In a huge upswing from previous years, the state's pension investments performed very well during fiscal 2016-17, returning a rate of 11.88 percent on investment.

KANNAPOLIS, NC — The Victory Bell belongs to Concord for one more season.
The Concord Spiders beat the AL Brown Wonders 33-20 on Friday night in the annual "Battle of the Bell" in front of more than 8,000 fans at Memorial Stadium. The game was part of the 2013 Great American Rivalry Series presented by the U.S. Marine Corps and Hibbett Sports.
The Spiders, last year's 3-A state runners-up, have now won two straight over the Wonders, earning the Victory Bell trophy — an old Southern Railways Bell painted in the winning school's colors — in the longest running rivalry in North Carolina. It's their first back-to-back wins in the series since 1985-86 (they won 21-14 last season).
Junior back Rocky Reid is well on his way to another 1,000-yard season for Concord, as he racked up 233 yards and three TDs on 16 carries and was named the Great American Rivalry Series Most Valuable Player. He had three monster scoring runs of 57, 82 and 54 yards.
The Wonders cut the deficit to 25-20 before Reid's final TD run sealed the deal with 2 1/2 minutes to go. The Wonders, who have 35 straight winning seasons, had four turnovers in the game.
The "Battle of the Bell" is the longest rivalry in North Carolina, being played continuously since 1931. Concord leads the all-time series 41-38-4.
Up next Friday night for Concord (1-0) is Mount Pleasant, while AL Brown (0-1) visits South Rowan the same night.

Some things you don't dare let go . . .
Melanie O'Bryan knows life is too short to be afraid of taking chances. And former Air Force sergeant Bennett Hart is certainly worth taking a chance on. He's agreed to help her students with a school project, but she's hoping the handsome handyman will offer her a whole lot more. Yet despite his heated glances and teasing touches, Mel senses there's something holding him back . . .
Bennett Hart is grateful to be alive and back home in Mirabelle, Florida. Peaceful and uncomplicated-that's all he's looking for. Until a spunky, sexy-as-hell teacher turns his life upside down. After one smoldering kiss, Bennett feels like he's falling without a parachute. But with memories of his past threatening to resurface, he'll have to decide whether to keep playing it safe, or take the biggest risk of all.
Quick & Dirty: Very steamy romance with lots of drama and heartfelt moments.
Opening Sentence: The pain was incredible.
Excerpt: No
The Review:
Melanie O'Bryan just recently came to terms with how short life can really be. A few months back she was shot, but luckily there was no permanent damage. Former Air Force sergeant Bennett Hart has really been there for Mel through the whole healing process. They are just friends, but Mel's feelings have started to go way beyond friendship lately. She gets butterflies every time she sees him. The fact that he has a killer body and is very easy on the eyes doesn't hurt one bit. Being a good friend, Bennett has agreed to help Mel with a school project, but Mel is secretly hoping that he is going to offer her a whole lot more.
Bennett Hart is just happy to be alive. After surviving a terrible accident in Afghanistan that killed everyone in his unit except for him and one other, Bennett feels blessed to be back home. But living through an experience like that leaves its scars and all Bennett wants is to live a quite, peaceful life with no complications. He never expected the gorgeous math teacher at the high school could make him feel so many complicated emotions. After one amazing kiss, Bennett finds himself entering into uncharted territory with Mel and he is determined to not screw it up. But with memories and fears from the past slowly creeping in, he will have decide what risks he is willing to take to be with the one woman that has ever made him feel anything.
Mel really develops and grows exceedingly throughout the book. Starting out, she is timid and has always been a little scared to put herself out there. Somewhere along the line she realizes that life is too short and that she needs to go after what she wants. She has the patience of a saint, which is good since the certain man she has her eye on seems to take forever to act on his feelings for her. I love that she is willing to take chances and try new things. I really loved getting to know Mel, she was a great character that was easy to sympathize and connect with.
Bennett is a very appealing man. With his quiet and sweet demeanor, and his rocking body, what is not to love. There are parts of him that are broken, so letting someone in that could hurt him is extremely scary for him. There has never been a woman that has made a lasting impression on his heart until Mel. Everything about her is sexy and interesting to him. They have hot chemistry and together they seem to complete each other. Everything about Bennett was perfect and I'm not going to lie, just thinking about him made me drool just a little bit.
Unstoppable is a great romance story filled with inspiring characters, sexual tension, and heartfelt moments. My one complaint about this story was that there wasn't really a subplot beyond the romance. In the other books in the series there was always an underlying plot that was completely separate from the romance, and it seemed to help add substance and drama to the story. Because this book pretty solely focused on Bennett and Mel's relationship, I felt at times the story dragged. That's not to say that I didn't love their relationship because I did, I just wish there would have been something else added to make the plot more intriguing. But with that being said, I still really enjoyed this novel and I really hope that Richard will release more books in this series. There are a few other secondary characters that I hope get a book because I really love them. If you are looking for a fun and steamy new adult series, I suggest you give the Country Road series a try.
Notable Scene:
Mel Jumped back into him as his arm skimmed over hers. He steadied her by placing his free hand on her hip. He grabbed the container, and when he set it down on the counter she turned and looked up at him.
"Thank you," she said softly.
He was so close to her. All he had to do was lean down a little bit and he'd be able to press his mouth to hers.
"No problem," he said, unable to look at anything but those soft lips of hers.
She was breathing unevenly. He was pretty sure he'd stopped taking in oxygen a while ago, because he felt a little light-headed. He took a step into her, pushing her back against the counter, and her breasts came up against his chest. His eyes flickered up to hers, and what he found there made all rational thought leave his mind.
"Bennett," she whispered.

By Nicole Maestri - Analysis
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. retail stocks may be beaten down, but Wall Street analysts say it is too early to buy into a sector facing poor sales prospects and consumers that may be permanently altering spending habits.
Retail stocks have tried to rally since the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday in November, as investors bet retailers had already hit their low point. Many expected the sector to rebound in 2009 after surviving the weakest holiday shopping season in almost four decades.
But industry experts now vary widely in their estimates of when the sector will hit bottom. Some say a low point will likely be reached in the third quarter, while others forecast the worst may not be over until early 2010.
That uncertainty could kill off the classic trade of buying into retail stocks six to 12 months before a recovery.
"Contrary to the old adage, we no longer believe retail stocks are early cycle, as we seem to be at the inflection of a 25-year consumer bull run," wrote Credit Suisse analyst Paul Lejuez in a research note on Tuesday.
"This belief makes us hesitant to think the worst is behind us just one year into the downturn, as consumers are facing different economic dynamics today."
At issue is the fear that, even when U.S. consumers are in a better position to spend, they may not want to do so. Retailers, including the chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N), said this week the extended downturn may fundamentally change consumer spending habits.
"This is the end of a long run," said Peter J. Solomon, whose investment bank specializes in retailing. "The consumer got stretched too far and the retailers kept getting easy money to build stores and finance inventories and expand."
Solomon made the remarks at the National Retail Federation's annual convention this week.
Consumers began to pare their spending ahead of the 2007 holiday season as the U.S. housing market faltered. They continued to tighten budgets into 2008 as soaring gas prices and rising food costs crimped tight budgets.
But the financial crisis that struck the United States in mid-September spurred a wave of job cuts and investment losses that prompted consumers to pull back even more sharply.
The S&P Retail Index .RLX hit its lowest level since October 1998 on November 21, but has since risen as investors bet the situation could not get any more dire.
But analysts said this week that investors may have jumped the gun. Steep discounts did not convince consumers to splurge this holiday season and there may be no substantial impetus to get them back into stores until the back-to-school season this summer.
"That will be the line in the sand," said J.P. Morgan analyst Brian Tunick.
Citigroup is forecasting retail stocks will not hit bottom until the second quarter of 2010, according to analyst Deborah Weinswig. She said Kohl's Corp (KSS.N), Kroger Co (KR.N) and Wal-Mart are the best positioned retailers to weather the current environment.
While many of her clients are sitting on the sidelines holding cash, she said it is too early for investors to jump into the sector. But Weinswig said retail stocks could rally in the middle of this year in anticipation of a better 2010.
Michael Niemira , chief economist for the International Council of Shopping Centers, said there are signs a bottom may be forming. While the group expects 2009 U.S. retail sales to fall 1.8 percent, sharper than the 0.9 percent drop in 2008, sales could rebound to rise 3.3 percent in 2010.
Tunick was more cautious and said he does not yet have a forecast on when retail may hit a bottom. Retailers are heading into 2009 with unemployment at a nearly 16-year high, the housing market struggling, and consumers facing reduced access to credit, which will severely limit spending.
Complicating matters, retailers said the downturn may have a lasting effect on how consumers spend money.
Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott recently met young merchandise buyers at his company. To save money in the downturn, some of the buyers have given up eating out, while others are foregoing trips to the movie theater.
"They were talking about how good they felt about doing that," he added.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, speaking at the NRF convention, said that, in 1980, consumer spending accounted for 63 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. That peaked at 71 percent a few quarters ago, as consumers spent beyond their income.
"We are at an inflection point and in the long run that should fall steadily," he said.
He expects consumer spending as a percent of GDP could slide back to 63 percent to 65 percent in 10 to 15 years.
That means that, even after the economy improves, retailers will be left chasing fewer dollars and discerning consumers that save money and may not spend beyond their means.

From the Desk of
Gloria McCallum Hausser
Does your organization suffer from any of these profit-draining symptoms:
– Employees who are struggling to make ends meet or are stressed from dealing with bill collectors
– Clients or members who don't respond to your marketing and fundraising efforts as strongly as you would like
– People, including board members, who get bogged down in fear instead of moving forward toward achieving your organization's goals
– Sales reps who aren't effective at asking for or closing sales
– Growing past due accounts that are "uncollectible"
– People who say they "can't afford" to give you money
No matter what industry you're connected with, people are the most valuable resource you will ever have. Your clients, employees, members, sales reps, directors. These are the people who can help you grow to new heights. But people are human. People bring with them their own personal baggage about money issues. And this baggage can slow your growth and hinder your profitability.
What if you had a way to create lasting, positive change? Change that effortlessly eliminates the baggage. Change that reverses profit-draining trends. Change that helps you create lasting growth for your organization.
I'd like to introduce you to the industry leader in creating positive, prosperous change for organizations, corporations and individuals. Success and Empowerment Expert Paula Langguth Ryan helps people change the way they think and feel about money. She helps people overcome the fears that hold them back from their true potential. She helps them heal their relationships with money so nothing stands in the way of them helping your organization grow to new heights.
I've personally experienced the profound impact of Ryan's workshops and that is why I'm writing to you. The results of Ryan's workshops are astounding.
Imagine effortlessly:
– Addressing your clients' and employees' fears about the true value and worth of what you offer them
– Empowering employees to face and correct their financial challenges in ways that increase their job productivity and decrease their stress
– Increasing the effectiveness of your fundraising and marketing efforts
– Engaging your members and directors in ways that enhance your organization
– Increasing the closing rate of every member of your sales team
– Eliminating all your past due accounts in a way that actually brings you more income than the original amount you're owed.
Ryan doesn't just motivate – she empowers. The message Ryan shares gives people the tools they need to take control of their debts, incorporate prosperity principles into their everyday activities and embrace abundance in all areas of their lives. People aren't kidding when they say that what you learn from Ryan is unlike anything you've ever learned about money before.
Are you ready to help people – including yourself – overcome the money messages you learned growing up and that you've reinforced every day of your life? I encourage you not to miss this opportunity to grow your business in a profound and lasting way.
Cordially yours,
Gloria McCallum Hausser

Gerald Heaney Quotes
Imposition of the death penalty is arbitrary and capricious. Decision of who will live and who will die for his crime turns less on the nature of the offense and the incorrigibility of the offender and more on inappropriate and indefensible considerations: the political and personal inclinations of prosecutors; the defendant's wealth, race and intellect; the race and economic status of the victim; the quality of the defendant's counsel; and the resources allocated to defense lawyers.
How dangerous it is rashly to adopt the Mosaical institutions [Old Testament teachings of eye for an eye]. Laws might have been proper for a tribe of ardent barbarians wandering through the sands of Arabia which are wholly unfit for an enlightened people of civilized and gentle manners.

Aker Solutions Awarded Troll Extension
Aker Solutions wins a Statoil contract to deliver three subsea trees, tubing hangers & a tool package to the Troll field, Norwegian continental shelf.
The extension, estimated contract value NOK 250 million, is a call-off from a contract signed with Statoil in February 2012. The spare tubing hangers will be utilized on several parts of the Troll field.
The Troll field is the world's biggest subsea development with regards to the number of subsea wells. Last year, Aker Solutions reached a major milestone in delivering the 100th subsea tree to the Troll field. The Troll contract awards and deliveries have helped shape and develop Aker Solutions' subsea business.
Troll is located in the northern part of the North Sea, approximately 65 kilometres west of Kollsnes, near Bergen in Norway. The field contains 40 per cent of the total gas reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf and is also one of the largest oil fields on the continental shelf. Under this contract, Aker Solutions will deliver equipment to the oil section of Troll.
A subsea tree is a key technology enabling oil and gas production directly from a subsea well to a processing facility. The tree is essentially an advanced set of valves and is used together with associated technologies to control the well flow. The subsea tree is an integral part of a subsea production system.
A tubing hanger is a component used in the completion of oil and gas production wells. It is set in the subsea tree and suspends the production tubing. A tool package is the tool box used to install, modify or retrieve subsea equipment.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chiwowwa from Too TINY This pendant would be awesome if it weren't the size for a six year old child! This thing is so tiny you can't even tell what color the stones are on the shamrock without glasses or a magnifying glass. They're not real gemstones so why make them so small? This WAS going to be my signature piece but since it's so tiny that you can't even tell that it's a shamrock I sent it right back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tchild from The Most Beautiful Fairy, Born in Ireland! I am head-over-heels about this Irish Fairy pendant!! I couldn't stop looking at it online, so when I ordered it and it arrived, I fell in love with it completely as soon as I opened up the box! I got it in the green. This is an exquisite piece that is quite detailed, and appears to be longing to tell her own story! Just an endearing and treasurable find! I would love to see this made in matching earrings, though it blends very well with several of my other Irish jewelry selections from QVC. This pendant is the perfect size, too. It just makes you smile and feel so good when you are wearing it--almost like a magical and tranquil peace that fills you as it hangs around your neck--a reassuring interlude that calms the soul and mind. This piece is definitely more for us adult ladies, so be sure to get yours before it flies away.

The only thing wrong with e'S is cheap materials and wack colors inserted in rad shoes. It is like they get a discount on shit materials and use them on good colorways. Who …
so happy this finally happened
I was hoping to see the navy/blk with white outsole colorway. Oh well, still glad to see these. Love seeing reissues from the era when I started skating.
I am going to buy two pairs of these when they come out. One pair for me, and a pair for my dog.

Allied Irish Banks, a major creditor of Aer Arann, has reportedly extended the Irish regional EUR1 million in fresh funding to allow for the appointment of an interim examiner (Sunday Independent, 29-Aug-2010). AIB is owed EUR3.9 million by Aer Arann, and without the EUR1 million infusion the examinership would not have proceeded, as there would have been insufficient working capital to meet the airline's daily expenses. The airline has the protection of the court from its creditors for a 70-day period. Other major creditors include the Dublin Airport Authority, which is owed EUR2 million from the use of facilities at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports. Chairman Pádraig Ó Céidigh is facing the possibility of suffering significant personal losses as he has given personal guarantees amounting to EUR1.2 million to the AIB as part of the terms of Aer Arann's overall funding facility from the bank. Mr Ó Céidigh has affirmed that there is "a strong possibility" that the airline would survive, which has been confirmed by an independent auditor and the High Court's decision to appoint an examiner and grant protection from creditors (RTE Business/Irish Independent, 27-Aug-2010). The Chairman stated he has received interests from three investors, but declined to identify the parties and comment on the amount of capital the airline needs.
Aer Lingus, meanwhile, has reportedly ruled out suggestions it is considering moves to acquire its franchise partner (Irish Independent, 27-Aug-2010) Speculation has mounted that Aer Lingus was coming under political pressure to save Aer Arann, but any such move is likely to meet resistance from unions at Aer Lingus and complicate the airline's current cost-cutting programme aimed at lowering costs by EUR97 million p/a.
Meanwhile, the Irish Government has affirmed its support for the restructure of Aer Arann, stating that direct air access is "absolutely crucial" to Ireland's south-east region (Irish Times, 27-Aug-2010). The Government has reportedly outlined plans to continue to provide EUR11 million p/a to the airline in return for it operating PSO routes as part of a policy to support regional airports (Irish Examiner, 28-Aug-2010). Over EUR33 million has been provided to Aer Arann over the past three years, a period over which it lost EUR18 million. The Government's policy runs until Jul-2011 and airports included are Galway, Knock, Sligo and Donegal. Mr Ó Céidigh has stated that the PSO routes operated by the airline have not affected the airline's current position (Irish Independent, 27-Aug-2010).
Department of Transport: "There should be no panic response from regional airports in particular as to the future viability of Aer Arann. While undoubtedly the company faces significant challenges, with the right business plan and new financial backing Aer Arann is confident that it can secure a viable operating future and continue to provide valuable employment to its staff," Simon Coveney, spokesman.

Parents v Education
The percentage of students in England whose parents were reported to be involved with their school that the child attended, rose significantly between the years of 1999 and 2007; this included: attendance to school events or volunteering on a school committee .They also went to regular parent/teacher meeting to discuss their child's work. Nevertheless these statistics have remained the same in 2012.The effect of the parents' involvement in the child's education tends to show in academic performance as well as fewer behavioural problems .There is a higher probability of the child completing secondary school compared to students whose parents are oblivious to their child's progress and decreasing grades. A current meta-analysis showed that parental involvement in school life impacted on high academic performances. Children, whose parents help them with their homework, benefit greatly with their understanding of the subject .This also affects how teachers view the child on average, with at least two thirds of a class not wanting to learn or not paying attention (in the state sector). It has been said that sometimes teachers pay more attention to children with very involved parents. Therefore, they will be able to identify any medical or learning difficulties at early stages that might inhibit learning.
The involvement helps parents have a better understanding of the curriculum and this allows them to observe the school and classroom activities .This gives parents an insight into which areas in specific subjects the child needs encouragement or support in. Encouragement in acceptable classroom behaviour will teach the child the difference between right and wrong, backing up what teachers are saying. Benefits of parental involvement is demonstrated in both primary and secondary levels across all subjects; usually the biggest effect is in the primary sector. Research shows that involvement of both parents, regardless of whether they live separately or together, is beneficial to the child. In 2012 more than 90% of students from nursey through to year 6 had a parent attending a meeting with the teacher compared to the 57% of students in secondary school. Attendance at class or school events however peaked at secondary school.
Even though it helps them academically, there is always the chance that you will be able to find out whether there are any problems with teachers or friends for example bullying or being ignored by the teacher. In class teachers are usually able to identify whether there is a problem as their school work may be slacking or they are reluctant to go outside. At school children may have pressure from their peers to do well however when at home they can relax and not have to worry.
School encourage aspiring parents because it puts the teacher's minds at rest that the children are supported well at home. It may seem small, but taking an interest in your child's day effects them mentally and emotionally. They are more likely to have a positive attitude to school and all it entails.

Hell hath no fury like a man who buys a bag of uneven carrot sticks, as Tesco customer Aaron Swift proved. In a tweet that has since amassed hundreds of retweets and favourites, he shared his outrage at the one issue all of us are really angry about deep down; an inadequate bag of carrot batons.
It all started with this tweet:
To which a Tesco employee asked him to "elaborate".
And so elaborate he did.
The level of detail observed by Aaron on this cross sample of 15 batons is really quite commendable. From "curly," "this one actually squelches" and "infested," his outrage at the motley crue of batons is clear.
Aaron says that he has since been promsied a refund for his rubbish batons, and tweeted (whether jokingly or not, we're not entirely clear) that Tesco want him to deliver a speech on the perfect baton.
Fingers crossed it's true, for the sake of carrot baton eaters everywhere.

Digital Thermometers with SPI/3-Wire
The MAX31722/MAX31723 digital thermometers and thermostats with an SPI™/3-wire interface provide temperature readings that indicate the device temperature. No additional components are required; the devices are truly temperature-to-digital converters. Temperature readings are communicated from the device over an SPI interface or a 3-wire serial interface. The choice of interface is selectable by the user. For applications that require greater temperature resolution, the user can adjust the readout resolution from 9 to 12 bits. This is particularly useful in applications where thermal runaway conditions must be detected quickly. The thermostat has a dedicated open-drain output (active-low TOUT). Two thermostat operating modes, comparator and interrupt, control thermostat operation based on user-defined nonvolatile trip points (THIGH and TLOW). Both devices feature a 1.7V to 3.7V supply rail.
Key Features
- Temperature Measurements Require No External Components
- Measures Temperatures from -55°C to +125°C

Function / Vatican Shadow :: Games Have Rules (Hospital Productions)
With Games Have Fules, Function and Vatican Shadow have worked together to create a breathtakingly atmospheric and surprisingly ambient electronic album unique in both their catalogs.
Despite Dominick Fernow's latest Vatican Shadow release—the mammoth six cassette/digital-only release Death Is Unity With God—being a strangely strangled and muted affair, it was difficult to predict the content of this latest release, a collaboration with New York's David Sumner under his Function guise.
Games Have Rules teases out the detailed mise-en-scene, cinematic scope and dramatic melodic loops that made Function's debut album Incubation on Ostgut Ton so compelling, but leaves behind the reverb and dance-floor aesthetic. It then fuses these with Vatican Shadow's palpable tension, ear for propulsive rhythms and evocative atmospherics but cuts out the tape loops, files off the gritty edges and polishes the end result to a mirrored finish. The result is a breathtakingly atmospheric and surprisingly ambient electronic album.
"Things Known" and "Things Unknown" feel like early Delsin era electro via The Detroit Escalator Company, the skittish, arrhythmic bass, analogue bleeps, steely pads, occasional static downpour, coils of barely audible voices and the echoing metallic percussion all lending themselves to classic images of neon-lit, blinking future-scapes.
There are murky overtones of John Carpenter's creepiest work in "The Nemesis Flower" as glutinous, sinewy synth throbs loop over unsettling, organic pops, sinister machine-whir and genuinely chilling, icy melodies that will have you shifting uncomfortably in your seat in moments.
Meanwhile "A Year Has Passed" as plumes of super-heated strings and dreamlike, blood-warm synth washes wrap themselves around you like the softest, most luxurious blanket, before "A Year Has Gone By," folding in glinting crystalline keys, hi-hats and a stalling, staccato pulse that creates an elusive tension.
The one sticking point on the album is "Red Opium," which comes right out of left-field with traditional techno elements that feel out of place among the richly atmospheric pieces on display. Thankfully the more tempered "Bejeweled Body" rounds things out on a high as more crystalline pads shimmer in an acid-tinged waterfall of icy techno as Function's roots really shine through in the production once again.
It might seem a little slight at only seven tracks, but rest assured Games Have Rules is a nicely paced forty-one minutes with not a second of padding in sight. It's a thing of understated beauty and remarkably rich atmospherics that combines a number of the most compelling qualities of each artist to create something unique in both their catalogs. You really need this.
Games Have Rules is available on Hospital Productions.

Does this sound familiar? A conservative political party, previously opposed to immigration and multiculturalism, realizes where its future lies and changes its policies, its message and some of its key faces in hopes of becoming the party of choice for racial and ethnic minorities.
This is increasingly the story of right-wing politics across the Western world, at least for the moment. It's what happened in Canada under Stephen Harper and in Britain under David Cameron. And now we seem to be watching the conservative diversity tide sweep into Germany.
The "pro-immigrant right" have not, to put it mildly, been a traditional force in continental European politics. But Chancellor Angela Merkel's efforts to form a coalition government this month have taken an interesting turn.
Ms. Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union appears to have accepted the idea, first proposed on the left, of permitting dual citizenship for Germans of immigrant background. It's a policy designed to appeal mainly to the roughly three million Turkish Germans. Her party once opposed it fiercely, but things have changed: The CDU has appointed a smattering of minorities, visible and religious, to important positions and has begun campaigning more heavily in immigrant districts.
"We're still a decade behind Canada and Britain in having conservative parties attract immigrants, but things are moving in that direction more quickly now," says Dr. Orkan Kosemen of the Bertelsmann Foundation.
In a study of Germany's major political parties Dr. Kosemen published this year, he found that Ms. Merkel's CDU has leapt after the minority vote most dramatically. Until 2005, her party and the centre-left opposition Social Democrats both viewed ethnic diversity mostly as a matter of "internal security." Then things changed: "The CDU is the German party which in recent years has had the biggest readjustment of its policy so that it can be for and about immigrants," Dr. Kosemen wrote.
Why would conservative parties embrace immigrant communities, after decades spent battling the left's embrace of them?
For one thing, because it wins elections: As the Republicans learned in the United States in 2008 and 2012, and Britain's Conservatives learned painfully in the 1990s and early 2000s, those immigrants and their offspring are important voters in key constituencies. There are 5.6-million voters, 9 per cent of those registered, with what Germans like to call "a migration background."
Second, these parties have realized it's inevitable that these groups will increase in number. A new study this week by the London-based European University Institute projects that European Union countries will lose a sixth of their working-age population by 2025 due to aging and small family sizes. An estimated 21.5-million immigrants will be needed to fill that gap.
And, finally, some party leaders have recognized that many immigrant communities are socially and economically conservative – religious, small-business-minded, just right for the right. If, that is, the right can keep its loudmouthed anti-immigration branch from speaking up and ruining the party.
And that's where the difficulties begin. When conservatives become immigration champions, they're gambling that the new, multihued voters won't collide headlong with the voters who join to oppose immigration and minority rights.
There are four possible outcomes.
The first has been encountered by Mr. Cameron: Party xenophobes flee to another, more conservative party – in Britain's case, the UK Independence Party, which is likely to win the most seats in next year's EU elections and could challenge him nationally. The second is what happened to George W. Bush, who tried, haltingly, to change his Republican Party by appointing minorities to top jobs and proposing citizenship for undocumented immigrants. In response, the GOP was taken over by its anti-immigrant branch, the Tea Party (and thus lost two elections in a row).
The third outcome is the one French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivered his conservatives: After an early lunge for minority voters, he was terrified to find an extreme-right party gaining on him – so he reversed himself and adopted the intolerant rhetoric and policies of the far right. That reversal also cost his party an election.
The fourth outcome is what Ms. Merkel and everyone else desires: Mr. Harper's position, where immigrant ridings fall to your party and the "send-'em-all-back-home" branch is too pleased by success to revolt. It will take time and study to determine whether that approach has actually worked. For now, though, it's what many conservatives are seeking.Report Typo/Error

Ok so about a week or two ago me and this girl started talking. She recently moved to a different state. She seems really into me and I m really into her. Her birthday is coming up the first week of May. She said she has never received flowers from anyone before. I really do not want to disappoint her. So I thought having flowers delivered to her house would be a great idea. The thing is I don t know her address, I feel like she would think its weird to ask her, and at the same time I want the flowers to be a surprise. I was thinking maybe have a friend of hers help me? What do you guys think I should do, thanks.

There are people who are proud to be American, and then there are cities that bust out the red, white, and blue like it's nobody's business.
To celebrate the Fourth of July, we found the most patriotic cities in the US.
We based this list of several criteria, including the percentage of people who are veterans — according to the 2012 American Community Survey — and the percentage of residents 18 and over who voted in the 2012 presidential election. Personal finance site Wallet Hub releases an annual ranking of the best places to celebrate the Fourth, which we also considered.

Twitter has admitted it's yet to fully recover from the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks which rocked the popular micro-bogging site last week.
In a blog posting yesterday, co-founder of the site Biz Stone said the firm was still working on restoring "access to apps built on the Twitter platform that were affected by defensive measures".
"There was some overcompensation on our part as we tune our system to deal with this scale of attack," he continued. "In the past 24 hours, we've been contending with a variety of attacks that continue to change in nature and intensity."
Stone also revealed that the attacks appear to have been "geopolitical in motivation", but refused to speculate about where they might have originated or exactly why they were launched.
The site was taken down for several hours on Thursday evening (AEST) after a DDoS attack was launched against it and several other sites including social network Facebook.
Since then, Facebook chief security officer Max Kelly has said the attacks were aimed at silencing a single user – a pro-Georgian blogger . They are widely believed to have been launched by Russian-sponsored hackers.
"Denial of Service attacks are a known quantity on the web and they are not going away any time soon," wrote Stone.
"Nevertheless, we can and will improve system response to these assaults such that they don't interfere with our normal, everyday Twittering."
Twitter still reeling from attacks
Yet to restore all applications.

These baby mobs will also follow their adult counterparts if they are nearby.
Baby Blaze: Flamethrower
The Baby Blaze will shoot a flamethrower if you get too close to him. Approach with caution!
Baby Cave Spider: Venom and Cobweb
The Baby Cave Spider will spit poisonous venom at you from a distance. It can also spawn a cobweb on you to keep you from running away! The cobweb will disappear over time or can be broken with a sword or shears.

text: Hey guys! I have a chance to get a Turnlock Teri in Ivory for a great price. It would be my first designer bag of ANYTHING and everything from the Turnlock line amazes me. I was just wondering if I should wait out until I see one go on sale (I'm getting it for around $210 used) or scoop it up before anyone else gets it, haha. I'm unfamiliar with sales at the bigger department stores because alas I live fairly far away from the nice ones so any help would be nice! Also, if I do get the bag it somewhat looks dirty but I can't really compare because I can't find pictures of the bag in Ivory anywhere, only grey(this is the color I want most), poppy, yellow, and black. Do you know where I can find pictures and/or cleaning methods I could possibly use? Thank you! (By the way, I realized I spelt it wrong. I have a friend named Terri and it's just natural to spell it her way! Haha)

Jackson Health System wins at polls
November 7, 2013 by Mark
The months of campaigning are over and Miami residents, as well as the rest of the Miami-Dade electorate, have approved a referendum in favor of providing additional funding for the Jackson Health System. It is anticipated that the rise in property taxes will provide $830m to the Jackson System and enable it to compete with private and not-for-profit hospitals in South Florida.
The win allows the county's aging public hospital system to remain vital in the face of declining federal and state reimbursements and the increasing number of residents without health insurance. The victory will allow the Jackson Health System to complete its financial turnaround, after it came close to bankruptcy two years ago, according to the Miami Herald. It is anticipated that the additional monies will provide equipment upgrades, renovations, and construction that will in turn attract more insured patients.
An increase in insured clientele will assist in providing care for the uninsured and indigent. The passage of the Jackson bond referendum is hoped to increase the livability of Miami and the surrounding area, as well as bolstering the economic stability. A stable, functioning public health care system is often an item included in promotion materials ordered from a printing company by a city, county, or state looking to promote itself.
The county paid around $2m to put the Jackson bond referendum on the ballot. Most of that money was collected in donations by the political action committee, Citizens for a Healthy Miami-Dade.

The STAAR Tests are not Valid indicators of student progress.
KXAN News: by Erin Cargile , the STAAR tests are doing more Harm than Good.
Texas state Representative Aycock told KXAN it is troubling that three years after implementing the STAAR exam, there has been very little improvement in the results. He said under previous testing systems students made drastic gains after the initial year of testing.
TEA made the same report and praised the STAAR testing for maintaining stable results.
Yes, the STAAR Testing is doing more harm to Texas education than good. The results on the reading and math STAAR tests for students in grades 3 through 8 determine whether students are promoted to the next grade. The idea of a student working hard and being rewarded with passing grades, even given awards for being on the honor roll as well as being promoted to the next grade level is no longer true in Texas public schools.
Parents of Honor Roll Students who fail the STAAR test need a bumper sticker like the one shone above.
Since only the STAAR test scores determine whether students pass or fail, what is the point of attending 180 days of school. The grades earned during the school year have no bearing on promotion in grades 3 through 8.
Parents, contact your state representatives now. Call, fax, send emails as well as letters. Our state representatives as well as senators make the rules for Texas education, but these politicians are more interested in votes. Lobbyists, such as Thomas Ratliff who represents Microsoft. Ratliff is illegally a member of the Texas State Board of Education because our Texas legislatures don't want to cut off campaign funding that Thomas Ratliff can provide if education bills that favor products sold by Microsoft are passed.
Your state representative and the state senators make many promises when campaigning for office. They want your vote. But once in office, the list of promises often is replaced by a list from lobbyists. This is an election year and your voice carries much more weight than it will after the votes are counted. So, let your representatives know if you are dissatisfied. Make your message as sort and concise as possible. Boldface important points so the person reviewing the information can zero in on the problem and solution if you have one.
Following are comments posted on the KXAN article, Star Tests: More Harm Than Good? by Ervin Cargile
The following comments were in response to the KXAN article.
Who gave you those sample STAAR questions? TEA? Perhaps you should check out this site for the released 2013 5th grade math test and you will see the actual questions are much more complex than these.
STAAR has hijacked Texas education. What this article does tell you is how low the passing averages were. For 5th grade reading, it was 56%. A shocking 82,165 reading students scored below 56% to fail the test, and it isn't because teachers and students are not working hard. IT IS THE TEST. Who in their right mind pays a billion dollars to create this kind of dysfunction? TEA Commissioner Michael Williams likes to say "We measure what we treasure." If only we treasured that our children are actually learning and not just filling the pockets of Pearson and giving politicians something to feel self-righteous about.

It does not really matter what the STAAR test is. Teachers teach the test anyway. That is what is mandated by ISDs so they can look good. Also their focus stresses the kids out. I found out you can opt out. Thinking about that as it is a pointless test. The teachers hands are tied. Feel sorry for them as they try to balance proper teaching vs toward getting kids to pass a standard test only.
Two tracks in High School based on 8th grade tests (not parental dreams). One group goes on to college prep and the other begins to learn a trade. Let the colleges decide which of the college prep students actually get admitted. College is not an appropriate choice for everyone.
That is how it was in my high school days. They called it tracking. It worked out better for the teachers and the students. Everyone got the same diploma though…but if you were in the college track…what did it

Standardized tests are a waste of time and money.

But when we get higher standards people rebel against it because they know their kids are all special snow flakes.
The science TEKS (state standards for each science grade and subject) are NOT "higher standards." This was the BIG LIE promoted by the 20 Texas Educational Service Centers.
FYI–Texas is divided into 20 regions with one Education Service Center for each. The objective of these state agencies are to provide services to schools in their district so that students are provided the best education. Instead the ESCs have become publishers and vendors, both creating and selling instruction materials without having to confirm that quality material is being sold. Because TEA promotes the products that the ESCs sell, these agencies have an unfair market advantage, thus they are a monopoly. Janice VanCleave
Michelle M
Really? People are making it so easy for their kids to just give up. They prep all year for the test and if your child is failing it then it is your priority to make sure your child is on track all year. My daughter took it for the first time this year and she passed it. When I asked what she thought about the test, she said that she was afraid it was going to be hard and was nervous but turned out it was a little bit of everything they learned all year. Quit teaching your kids that it's okay to just give up!

Pumpkin journey gets on track
October 18, 2013 by Sarah
The Pumpkin Patch Express is offering a way for the entire family to enjoy a scenic fall trip to the pumpkin patch to pick their own spooky pumpkin that is just right for the carving. This is a special Halloween event getting underway today, and costumes on the train are encouraged.
It takes place on the Valley Train and provides an old fashion rail experience along a historic railway route using vintage passenger compartments from the 1920s, leaving the vintage train station and travelling directly to the pumpkin patch, which is located at White Mountain Cider Company.
Along the scenic path, people will enjoy picturesque vistas and be able to enjoy the changing leaves of fall. Once arriving at the Pumpkin Patch, children can wander the grounds until they find the perfect pumpkin. Children under the age of four ride for free, so it is a chance to gather up the kids and take a ride to find the pick of pumpkins. It might be a good opportunity for photos, which could later be made into postcards or posters at a print company.
The cost is the price of a regular fare. The Pumpkin Patch Express will be chugging down the rails to the pumpkin patch on Friday to Sunday, both this weekend and next, starting at 1:30 pm from the Conway Scenic Rail Station in North Conway, New Hampshire. On Saturdays, there is an extra departure time, leaving the station at 3:30 pm.
To find out more, or to purchase tickets, check out the Pumpkin Patch Express Website.

My Opinion
I enjoy your tunes, but the one thing that annoys me is the fact that your tunes seem to always come back to the top of the ambient charts when there are far better tracks that get no recognition and are ignored. I know u have expressed that u dont have anything to do with the scores of your tracks, and I can appreciate your sentiments but i'm not so sure. My main problem is that I have mates on this site who's music is just as good as yours, yet they get no exposure at all. In my opinion it means that people are missing out on good music, as no-one listens to the lower placed trx on this site, only the ones that are at the top of the charts, eg:your music.
Again i want to reitterate that I am not against your music being well received, I just think that other people deserve a shout. No offence meant as I like your stuff and have regularly downloaded it, but I have listened to things with lower scores that are better, and yet they get no recognition.
This is not so much a bitch at you, but about the whole music based sysytem on this site. Btw, your cd is quality and i love the artwork, but is their any chance you could stop your minions from voting down all the other good tracks on this site. SOrry bout the essay, but I feel strongly that good music is being ignored, which pisses me off.
Yeah, I seem to be getting a lot of these comments. If I knew who my minions were, I'd definitely talk to them! But I don't really... All this stuff is really hurting my image. I don't like it either. But yeah, I'll restate it - I don't vote people down, nor do I vote on my own songs on multiple accounts. I only vote on my songs once. If one of these "minions" is reading this now, don't vote other people down please! It's making me look bad!

February 2014 - Liberty of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
Beautiful ship and great service
The cruise was great, we had a very relaxing experience, Labadee it's a beatiful island.
The only bad remark that I have to post it's the disambark process it was a nightmare, we had to carry our luggage through the stairs, the process took like two hours, from 7:00 AM until around 9:30 AM.
No coordination, the instruction given the night before, had nothing to do with what they were doing, everybody was lost, not knowing where to go.
Hope Royal Caribbean takes care of this issue because it's a shame that all the good times that was spent in the ship had to be forgotten once we got to Port Everglades.
Thank you
Mr & Mrs Gonzalez

Separation and Recovery of Metals From Zinc-Treated Superalloy Scrap; Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations - 1987
Published Date:1/1/1989
Personal Authors:
Description:The U.S. Bureau of Mines treated mixed and contaminated super alloy scrap by pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods to separate and recover metal values. Best results were obtained by leaching Zn-treated or atomized scrap with HCI-02 at 9SO C and 50 psig 02' This resulted in dissolving approxi-mately 98 pet of the AI, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn while rejecting over 98 pct of the Mo, Nb, Ta, Ti, W, and Zr as an insoluble refractory residue. Chlorine was successfully substituted for HCI to leach Zn-treated scrap but was unsuccessful for leaching atomized scrap. The leaching solution was treated by pH adjustment and hydrothermal precipitation at 2000 C for 4 h to remove AI, Cr, Fe, and other contaminants as a filterable precipitate. Recovery of Co and Ni would be accomplished by solvent extraction and e1ectrowinning. Chromium recovery as a ferroalloy was demonstrated.

Me vs. the Rain. Taking place in Nara for one day only.
Nara Travel Blog› entry 10 of 17 › view all entries
May 23rd, 2010 – by: saltycoco
Well it did rain, and it wasn't just light rain, it was pouring down like crazy. My plan for today was to visit Nara. I borrowed the hostel umbrella and arrived in Nara after 9 am using the JR line from Kyoto station. Apparently there are 2 stations in Nara. One operated by JR, and the other by Kintetsu railways. The JR pass is not valid on the Kintetsu line. The JR Nara station is further from the Nara temple grounds and shrines. Well it was already a miserable day to begin with. Normally I love the rain, but carrying an umbrella on one hand and holding my camera on the other just doesn't go well together when I'm traveling and sightseeing at the same time.
One of the first sites I visited is Kofukuji Temple, but I only paid to see the Treasure House. Well sadly pictures weren't allowed in the building. But it did contain some amazing collection of artwork and Buddha statues, and the building was small enough that I only spent 30 minutes before I left. I continued on east mainly staying close to the other travelers and tourists, and met some of the tamed residential deer that roam Nara Park. I heard stories that they will eat about anything so I put my passport and JR pass in a really safe place in my backpack. In one of the spot was someone selling feed for the deers. It was a lot of fun watching the little kids laughing and giggling as they gave those crackers to those deers.
Nara was Japan's first capital, and this year they were celebrating Nara's 1300th anniversary. I continued on to Todaiji temple and saw so many people with their umbrellas open as they walked to the building. It was such a picture worthy site to behold. Todaiji is huge, it's supposedly the biggest wooden building in the world, and inside is Daibutsu a giant Buddha statue. I was looking at the people from the distance, and they looked so small compared to the Todaiji building. This was the highlight of my daytrip to Nara, and I was really glad to have seen it. Other sites I visited in Nara included Nigatsudo and Sangatsudo located near each other. I walked south from there to Kasuga Taisha shrine, but a section of it was close due to what looked like a post wedding picture taking event.
On my way back to the station, I ate my late afternoon lunch, afterwards visited the arcade shopping area and souvenir shops. I came back to the hostel around 4 or 5 pm, hung my jacket to dry and just sat on the bed to relax.
