By Jeffrey Lanier Jones The Paine College Department of Humanities will celebrate the 19th Anniversary of the Evelyn G. Etheridge Conference on the Harlem Renaissance on November 2 – 4, 2016 at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia. The Conference, founded in 1997 by Dr. Lola Richardson, former chair of the Department and Paine Alumna, will examine the national and international impact of one of the most important artistic and cultural movements in history that spanned from 1919 to 1940 and produced notable writers, critics, and artists such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Aaron Douglas, Ann Petry, Bessie Smith, and Duke Ellington. This year's theme, "Precursors, Periods, and Postscripts: Critical Thought, Beliefs, Productions, and Activism Before, During, and After the Harlem Renaissance" invites professors, undergraduate and graduate students, and independent scholars to present research that will examine the origins and the legacy of the Renaissance through interdisciplinary collaborations. Special guest presenters include Dr. Christopher Varlack of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Doris Wellington, independent scholar and author, Atlanta, Georgia. The Conference keynote speaker is Dr. Daniel Black of Clark Atlanta University, renowned scholar and author of They Tell Me of a Home, The Sacred Place, The Coming, and his latest novel, Listen to the Lambs.
This year's Conference will also highlight and honor the artistic contributions and legacy of Paine College Alumnus and Bestselling Author, Frank Garvin Yerby of the Class of 1937 on the centennial of his birth. Yerby was an acclaimed author who wrote over 30 novels and numerous short stories and poems including the 1946 publication of his first novel, The Foxes of Harrow, which garnered him international acclaim. He enjoyed considerable success during his lifetime and was the most prolific and commercially successful author of his time. After his death in Madrid, Spain in 1991, Yerby's influence upon American literature continues to be analyzed and treasured. In sum, this conference will feature scholars on Yerby such as Dr. Maryemma Graham of the University of Kansas, Dr. Veronica Watson from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Dr. John Lowe, University of Georgia, Stephanie Brown of The Ohio State University at Newark, and Ms. Jameelah Jones of the University of Kansas who will assess his significance to American letters. Special events will include a visual arts exhibition and book fair, author book signing, and a community festival that will highlight various student and community groups and gives thanks to the Augusta community for its support of Paine College.

Trinity Christian Methodist Episcopal Church cordially invites you to a special worship service on Sunday, June 12th at 9:00 a.m. with guest speaker Civil Rights icon, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Congressman John Lewis.
The service is part of the 20th Pastoral Anniversary of Reverend Herman "Skip" Mason, Jr. in the C.M.E. Church. The Trinity family would be honored to have you present to hear and meet this American treasure John Lewis. Bring your children so they can witness and see the last surviving member of the planning committee and speaker at the March on Washington and one of the original marchers of "Bloody Sunday" that was the Selma to Montgomery march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Mr. Lewis was beaten unconscious by Alabama's State troopers at the bridge in 1965. He suffered a fractured skull from the Blood Sunday beating, the scar of which is visible to this day. The incident was one of three Selma-to-Montgomery marches for voting rights, and the efforts led to passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Samuel Fudge, actor, will give a rousing oratory of Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.'s response to the question Do You Get Angry? The recent Paine College graduate appeared in the movie "Selma" and was among the cast that re-enacted the historical marches in Selma, Alabama.
Trinity CME Church is located at 2930 Glenn Hills Drive, Augusta, Georgia 30906. The afternoon service will commence at 3:00 p.m. and will feature Reverend Andre Loyd, Pastor of West Side Community C.M.E. Church. All are invited to share in one or both of the services.

Story by Helene T. Carter
Deuteronomy 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you.
Augusta, GA….Reverend George L. Brightharp believes that every man or woman should give as he/she is able, according to how God has blessed them to give. He also believes in "walking the walk" and leading by example. In March 2016, Reverend Brightharp made a $50,000 gift to Paine College in support of the Institution's Build it Back Campaign that is designed to meet the critical and immediate needs of the College. Launched in November 2015, the Build it Back Campaign has reached over $539,000 (as of May 11, 2016). Since 2010, Reverend Brightharp has given $112,058. Although he is not a Paine College alumnus, Reverend Brightharp presented a check in the amount of $27,000 during the Paine College Alumni Reunion Banquet held Saturday, May 7th on the campus.
Reverend Brightharp said proudly, "I have been in the trenches with Paine College since 1970. As a professor, I taught at Paine for fifteen years. During my tenure, I developed an appreciation for small, black liberal arts institutions. Paine has held a special place in my heart for 46 years."
In 2014, Reverend Brightharp supported the Friends of Quincy Robertson for Paine College Campaign with a gift of $10,000. In 2010, with a gift of $15,000, he established the Reverend George W. and Mrs. Rosa Brightharp Endowed Scholarship in memory of his parents. The scholarship is awarded annually to a rising sophomore, junior or senior majoring in History.
Dr. Samuel Sullivan, President of Paine College, said, "This year marks forty-six years of continued support from a philanthropist who has given generously of his finances, time and goodwill. Reverend Brightharp, a dedicated ambassador, engages others to support the College. He is a bridge-builder who is passionate about letting others know the value that Paine College adds to the community."
President Sullivan further commented, "We also appreciate the support that our faculty, staff, alumni, friends and trustees continue to provide to Paine during these challenging financial times."
In January 2016, Rev. Brightharp celebrated 36 years as the senior pastor of Mount Canaan Baptist Church in Edgefield, South Carolina. In 2004, Mount Canaan was designated as an Outstanding Historical Site by the South Carolina State Department of Archives and History. Rev. Brightharp led the Mount Canaan congregation to build a spacious Youth Center that is equipped with a computer lab, game room, a full-size gymnasium and other amenities that are available to the public.
Sporting a wide smile, he said, "With a group of faithful members and the infusion of my personal funds, we were able to pay off the $1.2 million mortgage on the Youth Center in two years."
For over 30 years, the successful entrepreneur and businessman operated George L. Brightharp & Sons Mortuary, a family-owned business that serves the Georgia and South Carolina communities.
"As a minister, I challenge every member of the clergy to support Paine College," said Reverend Brightharp. "As a businessman operating in the CSRA, I challenge all businesses to step up and support Paine College. As a former educator, I challenge all retired and employed educators to help Paine College through this financial crisis. It is our responsibility to share our resources with an Institution that has given so much to the community."
To make a gift to the Build it Back Campaign, contact Ms. Sunya L. Young in the Office of Institutional Advancement at 706.821.8233 or send an email to email@example.com.

Live Uefa Europa League Final
7.15pm, ITV
Should Chelsea win tonight against Benfica, they will enjoy the distinction of having won all three major European trophies. However, it might feel anticlimactic, having won the Champions League in 2012. They've looked committed thus far in pursuit of what might be considered a booby prize, but Portugal's Benfica have pedigree of their own and looked impressive in dispatching Fenerbahçe in the semi-final. At least it's being held on a Wednesday night, the true timeslot of European football. David Stubbs

Every day the angels on wheels are faced with surfing teenagers, collapsing pensioners and drivers feigning surprise at failed breathalyser tests.

Stories From The Dark Earth: Meet The Ancestors Revisited
8pm, BBC4
Julian Richards revisits two digs involving iron age burials. The first, in the Cotswolds, uncovered the remains of a teenage girl. The second, in Wetwang, east Yorkshire, involved the unearthing of a "chariot queen". Going back to both excavations reveals how research carries on long after archaeologists finish digging. The Yorkshire remains, for instance, have offered new insights into our forebears' beliefs, based on the discovery of a mirror contained within an otter-fur bag. Jonathan Wright

There's not much reassurance here that bankers are any more responsible than when the financial system crashed five years ago. The second part of the series on risky financial activity shows how overconfidence and hubris created two recent crises at brokerage firm MF Global and JP Morgan – one of the better-managed banks, apparently. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so scary. Martin Skegg
Great Artists In Their Own Words
9pm, BBC4
Hard to believe that the BBC didn't make a clip show from their vast repository of cultural programming years ago. Now they have, it's predictably excellent, not just as an overview of art movements of the last century, but for its engaging anecdotal qualities. We are as moved and entertained, for example, by the wiry humility of Sir Henry Moore as by the frequently inarticulate but acerbic thoughts of Francis Bacon. Of the chaos in his studio he says in 1974: "It's often like having a great dog in here to keep you out." JW

After a series of successful dates with Justin, Leslie is desperate to impress him with an endlessly entertaining dinner party. Can an event-packed shindig really be scheduled with metronomic accuracy? Leslie certainly hopes so. Next up, Tom is marking his divorce by moving to a new bachelor pad, roping in most of the parks department to help with the move. This allows April to get closer to Andy, Andy to re-watch ludicrous shark-attack horror Deep Blue Sea, and for the viewers to meet the magnificent DJ Roomba. Mark Jones

So, after last week's expectation-upending instalment, what now for the newly merged offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Price and Cutler Gleason and Chaough? Well, for starters, they could do with a snappier name. There's also the immediate question of how to placate the two firms' competing clients. Pete Campbell is usually pretty adept at this sort of thing, but he's a little busy fighting fires in his troubled personal life; this week he's forced to deal with an unexpected guest.

EMERGENCY services dealt with two collisions in Eaglescliffe.
Police were called at 8.30am this morning after two single-vehicle accidents involving a Ford Transit van and a BMW happened on Urlay Nook Road.
The road was closed and fire crews and ambulance attended the scene.
Firefighters were also called to a two-car smash outside King's Academy, on Stainton Way, Coulby Newham at around 9.40am today.
Nobody is believed to have been injured in the smash, although a woman driver was treated for shock.
It's thought icy conditions led to the crash and police closed the road while they dealt with the incident.
Darren Farndale, watch manager for Coulby Newham Fire Station said: "The weather was horrendous. It rained during the night and the frost must have moved in later. All the roads in Coulby Newham were like sheets of ice." It comes as icy conditions are affecting Teesside roads this morning, with several people reporting problems on the roads.
The freezing conditions saw a blanket of snow fall on the A171 moors road in the early hours.
And earlier today, the road at Birk Brow was described as "barely passable" with several vehicles, including a bus, reported to be stuck or struggling to negotiate it.
Redcar and Cleveland Council said it had been out gritting category A roads since 4am.
Despite the early frost, forecasters predicted today would turn out to be mostly dry and sunny, with a maximum temperature of 4C.
Rain or sleet were forecast to spread again overnight but temperatures are expected to get milder with highs of 8C predicted tomorrow.
The milder weather is expected to continue into next week.

Eben Britton Signing Could Be Worth the Risk for Chicago BearsApril 17, 2013
When the Bears signed offensive tackle/guard Eben Britton on Wednesday (per Pro Football Talk's Josh Alper), they either picked up another body for training camp or a starter.
The latter scenario made it worth the risk.
Britton has been labeled a bust for his work with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who made him the 39th pick of the 2009 draft. At the time, the Jaguars envisioned Britton as their right tackle opposite Eugene Monroe, who was their first-round pick that season.
Early on, it looked like they would be right, as Britton started 15 games his rookie season and finished with a grade of positive-3.4 on Pro Football Focus (subscription required). That season, he allowed just five sacks and committed only one penalty, according to Stats Inc.
Although he wasn't a great pass-blocker—allowing a team-worst 40 hurries on 554 snaps according to PFF—he graded out positively as a run-blocker. That season, the Jaguars ran for 2,029 yards—averaging 4.5 yards per carry—and 19 touchdowns.
Since then, it's been all downhill for Britton.
He played in just seven games in 2010 before suffering a torn labrum and injured his back in 2011 after playing in four games.
In 10 starts over those two seasons, he was credited with a total of four sacks allowed and two penalties.
He started relatively strong in 2010, as PFF gave him a grade of positive-7.8 in his first six games. However, he was terrible in his seventh game, receiving a grade of negative-6.1 on just 32 snaps before being injured.
He started the next season as a reserve, with Guy Whimper winning the starting job at right tackle. He managed to get on the field, starting three games—including two at left guard and one at right tackle—but was underwhelming, receiving a negative grade from PFF in all three before injuring his back and missing the rest of the season.
There was still hope for Britton at the start of this season. Scouts Inc. (subscription required) gave him a grade of 74 entering this season. That is the same grade they gave new Bear Jermon Bushrod and one point lower than J'Marcus Webb and Gabe Carimi.
The site stated that he "has above-average foot quickness and agility" and that he "understands blocking schemes and angles and is quick to pick up games up front, like twists and stunts."
Still, as bad as 2010 and 2011 were for Britton, 2012 was a train wreck.
Even though he was mostly healthy, Britton played in just six games and 272 snaps, giving up the same number of sacks he had given up over the previous two seasons combined.
Part of the problem may have been his position change. For his career, Britton has a PFF grade of negative-19 in his eight starts at guard. In 24 games at tackle, he's received a grade of positive-3.4. That grade is better than any tackle currently on the Bears roster.
But it isn't as if he was behind great players at his original position. Both Guy Whimper and Cameron Bradfield struggled last season, giving up a combined eight sacks and committing nine penalties.
It's hard to blame the coaching staff for Britton playing out of position. Jack Del Rio's staff—with highly regarded Dirk Koetter as the offensive coordinator—determined Britton wasn't capable of starting at tackle. Then Mike Mularkey's staff came to the same conclusion.
If he couldn't break the Jaguars' lineup, it's hard to believe he will make an impact for the Bears.
Perhaps new Bears defensive coordinator, Mel Tucker, saw something his offensive counterparts didn't when he was on the staff? Maybe the Bears think new line coach Aaron Kromer can work some magic to get Britton playing at a high level again.
It's hard to tell what the Bears are thinking, but they don't have a lot to lose by giving him a chance.
Britton showed he could play tackle early in his career before injuries took their toll. It's possible he hasn't been fully healthy over the last two seasons. It's also possible he'll never be healthy again.
Maybe Britton will just be another body at the Bears' training camp and won't last until August. Is he the player who was benched last season or the tackle who looked promising earlier in his career?
At this point, there's no real way of knowing, but the risk is certainly worth the reward for the Bears.

Glacier Creek music teacher Jeanne Hammes and MHS orchestra teacher Steve Kurr have been named recipients of the 2017 Herb Kohl Educational Foundational Fellowship Award, while 21st Century eSchool seniorBaniah Meyers won a student award.
Hammes and Kurr were two of 100 teachers selected from around the state. There were 24 teachers from the CESA 2 region who were recognized. Fellowship recipients are educators who have been chosen for their superior ability to inspire a love of learning in their students, their ability to motivate others, and their leadership and service within and outside the classroom.
Meyers was one of 207 graduating high school students to be recognized. Meyers will receive an Initiative Scholarship. Those recipients are selected by their school and have demonstrated exceptional initiative in the classroom and have shown strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond.Ha
Hammes joined the District in 2014-15. She previously worked as a middle school band and music teacher in grades in New Glarus (2012-14), a band teacher in Mount Horeb, (2007-2012) and as a band teacher at two middle schools in Arizona for 12 years. She has a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona and a master's in conducting from Southern Oregon University.
Kurr became the orchestra teacher at MHS in 2001. He previously worked for three years in the Madison Metropolitan School District at Glendale and Sandburg elementary schools. He has a bachelor's degree from UW-Madison.
Hammes and Kurr will each receive $3,000, while Meyers will receive a $5,000 scholarship. All CESA 2 and 3 winners will be honored at a ceremony at Middleton High School on Saturday, April 29. Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl and State Superintendent Tony Evers are expected to attend the ceremony.
"I think it is significant that Wisconsin's students, teachers, principals and schools are recognized for their devotion to education and learning,'' Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools board president Michael Lancaster said in a statement.
Kromrey principal Steve Soeteber was named a Leadership Award winner in 2016, while 2016 MHS graduates Connor Kooistra and William Bowen-Braxton won student awards. Glacier Creek special education teacher Tim Ashe and Kromrey and MHS German teacher Jolene Wochenske were honored in 2015.
The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program was established in 1990. The program has handed out more than $11.5 million to Wisconsin educators, students and schools.
"Education is the key to the future of Wisconsin and our nation,'' the former U.S. Senator said in a statement. "I am very proud of the accomplishments of these students, teachers, and principals and look forward to the great contributions they will make in the future.''

Brian Howard believes Pompey will be facing one of the most organised sides in League One tomorrow.
Preston arrive at Fratton Park with a reputation for being exceptionally well-drilled under manager Graham Westley.
The former Stevenage boss is known to work his players hard in long double sessions to get his message across.
Howard believes that is seen in their threat at set-pieces and Pompey will have to guard against that when they meet the Lilywhites.
Howard said: 'I think they are a hard-working side and are well organised.
'I've heard they do a lot of hard work on drills.
'I think they are in for all sorts of hours.
'That sounds like the way their manager does it. He sounds a bit old school.
'We'll do a lot of work on what they are like, like we did for Tranmere.
'There will be a lot of hard work with Guy and Awfs to get ready for Preston.'
Pompey go into tomorrow's game looking to end a run of four defeats on the bounce at Fratton Park.
But they have picked up two impressive draws from their past two testing away games.
Howard feels that counts for little if home games aren't won.
He said: 'We're expecting a tough game but we are at home and it's about time we started getting three points from those games.'
'We've picked up two good away points.
'But two good away points are only good if we win our home games.'

Klickitat River Fly Fishing Report – 10/5/14
There have been a lot of chinook and steelhead in the Klickitat lately. Norm and Jimmy came out from Pennsylvania for five days and had an epic trip. They were really out for the Fall chinook, but after their arms got tired of pulling on 15-30lb chinook they were glad that there were plenty of steelhead around. The weather was not quite salmon or steelhead weather, 60-80 degrees with bright sun. One morning we saw a black bear across the river. It just hung out for about 10 minutes, looking in the water and pacing up and down the bank. We were able to get some great pictures with the low light just coming over the canyon walls behind the bear. The amount of angling pressure on the Klickitat is more every year. But, there are a lot of fish in the system.

The robot delivering printed paper
A file being dragged and dropped in the browser window
A print job starts when the user holds the card up to the card reader of the robot.
The robot in the "home position" at a corner of the lounge
The robot is equipped with three units of the "Lidar" sensor (upper part and the front and rear areas of the lower part).
The Lidar on the front area of the lower part (in the slit)
A map that the robot automatically made (a top view of the room). The red line is a route.
Fuji Xerox Co Ltd tested a printer that not only prints documents on paper but autonomously moves around a room like the Roomba robot cleaner for delivering it.
Fuji Xerox used a prototype of the robot in a building located in Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, in July and August 2014 in cooperation with Tokyu Land Corp for operation tests. Visitors to the lounge of the building used it for free.
The printing of documents is carried out via an Internet browser. Each desk in the lounge has a smart card on which a URL for printing is written. When the URL is accessed with a browser and a file is dragged and dropped in the browser window, an instruction to print out the file (print job) is sent to the robot.
When the robot receives a print job, it automatically begins to move toward the desk being used by the person who sent the order. Because it knows where in the lounge it is running, it stops near the desk.
The print job starts only after the user holds the card up to the robot. Therefore, the printed paper does not come out when the robot is moving in the lounge. As a result, business papers, etc will not be seen by others even in a public space like a lounge.
The robot houses a color laser printer of Fuji Xerox. It can handle sheets of up to A4 size. And it is the company's smallest printer. On the top of the robot, a tablet computer is mounted. When the user presses the "start moving" button displayed on it after the printing job is done, it automatically goes back to the "home position" in a corner of the lounge.
Because the battery of the robot lasts for a day, it does not need to be charged in the home position.
For the autonomous movement function, the robot uses the "Lidar" sensors, which use laser to measure the three dimensional shapes of surrounding objects. While conventional radar devices use radio waves, the Lidar uses light (laser) instead so that more detailed information can be obtained in the range of several tens of meters.
The robot can automatically make a three-dimensional map of the lounge. If it is manually moved around a room at the time of introduction, a map for autonomous operation is made in the robot. It is not necessary to set up "markers" to be detected by sensors. When the robot detects an object that does not exist in the map, it sees the object as a human and selects a route so that it can avoid the person.

And where were Fisk and Yaz, anyway?
6. I was intrigued by one reader's suggestion that the Sox should pursue San Diego's Khalil Greene - a smooth fielder who drove in 97 runs last season - if Jed Lowrie doesn't cut it as Julio Lugo's replacement. But there are two negatives to Greene, beyond that he's signed though next season: he's having truly brutal season at the plate (63 OPS+), and his most similar player through age 27 is this guy. Upon further review, I'll pass.
7. This week's must-read from the life-altering SI Vault: Leigh Montville's pitch-perfect farewell to Teddy Ballgame. I loved this description of Williams while he was an instructor at Red Sox spring training in the late-'70s.
He would argue with anyone about politics, sports, detergents, anything. He would question. He would tell stories. He would interact, hour after hour. There was a liveliness about him that was different from the ordinary. He was larger than larger-than-life, if that makes any sense. He was Ted Williams, and he knew who he was. He played his own role. Himself.
8. C'mon, I know you had the same thought I did when you heard Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are splitting up: Who gets custody of Simmons?
9. I like the Celtics' signing of 7-footer Patrick O'Bryant for no reason other than that he must have done something right to be the ninth pick in the draft just two years ago.
10. As for today's Completely Random Baseball Card:
I know, you expect me to make a joke about 80-something-year-old Yogi Berra having better bat-speed than 'Tek during batting practice last night, but nope . . . I just wanted to point out that this is a damn cool card. No snark required for this one.

For Holocaust Memorial Day 2014, of the 434 local authorities in the UK, a total of 211 put on an event to commemorate the occasion or had an important role in supporting one. While this is an impressive figure, accounting for nearly half of district, borough and county councils and 37 more than last year, there's still plenty of work to be done.
This is where you can come in. By filling out this simple form with your name, email address and post code, you can email your local authority councillor either asking them to put on an HMD event for next year if they did not do so for 2014, or thanking them if they did and requesting that they continue to show their support.
The form will automatically detect whether an event was organised by your local authority in January, while also giving you the opportunity to personalise the message too. You could say why HMD is so important to you or perhaps add a suggestion as to what sort of event could be organised.
Next year's HMD is especially significant as it marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, as well as 20 years since the Genocide in Bosnia. By acting now, we can make sure that the number of local authorities commemorating this very important day increases for 2015.

Grovetown and Harlem officials said they were under the impression the payments the cities made for tax collection services were going to the county budget, not to the tax commissioner's personal bank account.
"We all assumed that the contract was in compliance with the county," said Grovetown Councilman Dennis Trudeau, who signed a 2002 contract with Tax Commission Kay Allen when he was mayor. "I thought that maybe she got a little percentage and the rest went to county."
An Oct. 5 check for $29,000 from the city of Grovetown for tax collection services was made out to "Columbia County Tax Commission Attention: Kay Allen."
The tax commissioner's agreements with the city have been under scrutiny by authorities since October, about the time that Allen fired Deputy Tax Commissioner Dwight Johnson. Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris said the sheriff's office has been conducting a "joint investigation" with the FBI since that time.
Over the past two decades, Allen has collected thousands in additional pay for providing tax services to the two municipalities. Current agreements with the cities give her a 2 percent cut of all property taxes billed for the cities. In the past five years those payments have totaled more than $160,000 in direct compensation for Allen.
Harlem Mayor Bobby Culpepper said that he thought the 2012 contract that he signed provided payment to the county for tax collection. The city paid $7,000 this year to Allen for the service.
"I never would have thought any other way," Culpepper said. "My impression would have been naturally that it was going to the county."
Handwritten invoices sent to both cities in September from Allen are on the tax commissioner's official letterhead.
Columbia County officials are studying options to end those agreements.
"I think the first thing we need to do is to make any agreements between the tax commissioner and Grovetown and Harlem null and void," Commission Chairman Ron Cross said Monday. "It is something that has got to be addressed."
Cross said he believes the commission has the authority to end the tax commissioner's agreements, but an attorney will likely have to weigh in on the issue.
Allen has acknowledged that she collects additional compensation and maintains that state law allows her to do so. Other tax commissioners around the state also have such agreements, but not all. Richmond County Tax Commissioner Steven Kendrick said he does not get extra compensation for collecting taxes for Hephzibah and Blythe.
State law, which was enacted in 2007, allows such direct compensation for tax commissioners, but only in counties that have fewer than 50,000 parcels. In counties with more than 50,000 parcels, the county itself must enter into such agreements and can, in turn, pay the tax commissioner for providing the service. Columbia County bypassed the 50,000-parcel threshold more than four years ago, officials said.

That is a gorgeous combination! I can suggest a few white paint colors for you to sample with your color scheme. Remember that our computer monitors can't always depict colors accurately, especially with white paint -- so you'll want to sample the colors, as they'll most likely be lighter than what you see here.

Swimmer Michael Phelps--who has won 16 Olympic medals for the United States at the last two games—and eight other North American Olympic swimming hopefuls yesterday unveiled what they expect will be a useful addition to their competitive arsenal: a new cap, goggles and suit by Speedo, sponsor of the athletes.
Speedo claims the new racing system, dubbed FASTSKIN3, reduces full-body passive drag and body active drag and improves the swimmer's oxygen economy, creating the world's fastest cap, goggles and suit ever. The system has been approved by FINA, the group that governs competitive swimming globally and outlawed Speedo's controversial, full-body LZR Racer last year.
Asked what he must do to continue his winning ways at next year's Summer Olympics in London, Phelps said, "I need to probably be in better physical shape, I need to probably add maybe five more pounds of muscle, small things, turns, kick outs, just little tiny things."
Phelps also said he and his coach have worked on these matters in the past, adding, "Now we just have to spend more time on it, actually focus more on it, and we'll be good."

don't belieave in the paranormal?
In the early 1970s us intelligence sources concluded that the soviets had spent 300 million rubles on psychotronic developments, by 1975. Thus the cia started funding the stargate and scanate scan by coordinate projects. This was all over remote viewing, and extra sensory perception phenoms. The ability to leave your body and view places while in a sort of spirit form. I wonder how far they are in the paranormal now... Anyways retired special projects intelligence officer joe mcmoneagle, claims he won a merit for over 150 targets while others had unavailable sources.
Source: www.fas.org/stargate.htm
Remote viewing is a form of astral projection. I myself have experienced this phenom. It feels like a dreamstate, i belieave there is more to our subconcious and dreams then we can give them credit for. Infact they are the key to awaken our true powers. Everything is connected telepathy, remote viewing, dimensions, the whole universe is projected from our minds we can control everything. I can even see bits of the future although it always subjective to change, maybe not maybe there is no future past or present there is just an infinity of dimensions.
Every thought or eyedea of life playing out in different dimensions. When you dream you feel like you are familiar, people you have never met before you seem to know them, or the surroundings you in. Its because your in a Dimensional Rift Entering Another Mind..
So who wants to try it.. Remote viewing anyone can do it with dedication.
1. When you goto sleep tonight, relax and everytime you start to fall asleep open your eyes wide.
2. Remeber the feeling of almost falling asleep and then forcing you to wake up memorize how it felt.
3. Do step one over and over till you cant feel your body, then try to go deeper and fall asleep.
4. Now catch yourself right before you lose conciousness and cast that spell or feeling of waking up. This should catch yourself in your spirit form hovering above your body. You can notice you are above you're head about to ascend from the crown chakra to another dimension or dream.
How to move while in this form this parts tricky. Usually when you catch yourself you are looking down about to re enter you're body and either wake up or ascend into a dream. Instead focus and look forward instead of up or down. You can command where you want to go by simply thinking of where to.
There are multiple ways of remote viewing this might work for you. If it does thank satan, azazel, astaroth, baal, thoth, osiris, anubis, yourself, me, and anyother demons.

What does it mean?
(the scientific study of) the pattern of relations of plants, animals, and people to each other and to their surroundings
How do we use it?
The destruction of these big forests could have serious ecological (adj.) consequences.
Word quiz
Many words (like "ecology") that start with the prefix "eco-" have something to do with the environment.
Based on that information, what do you think the Greek term that gave us "eco-" means?
A. earth
B. clean
C. house
D. life
[C.]If you think about an environment as the home of the living things in it, you can understand why the Greek word for "house" came to be used in words having to do with the environment. "Ecology" is a combination of the Greek prefix "oko-" (which comes from a word meaning "house") and "-logie," a suffix derived from the Greek word "logos," which means "word." It was the Germans who first put those roots together to form "Okologie," which English speakers later adapted into "ecology."

For me, and many divorcees, I had what I like to call the "Ah-Ha Divorce Moment." It's that moment when you finally cross the line and you know that there is no more turning back. This ah-ha moment happens at different times for everyone. One friend's ah-ha moment happened when she walked in on her husband in bed with her best friend. Gotcha! Speaking of trash, another friend of mine's ah-ha moment occurred when she was taking out the garbage. She was carrying a big bag to the dumpster outside her apartment complex when the bag ripped open and garbage flew everywhere. She looked down at the mess, sat on the cement and began to cry. She said aloud, "Why am I doing this?" The superintendent yelled from his front door, "Because garbage pick-up is tomorrow!" Not the answer she was looking for. She then asked herself, "Do I really want to stay in this marriage?" Her inner-voice kicked in and said, "If you stay married you would have twice as much garbage and you will still be the one taking it out." That was it, the ah-ha moment where it all came together. Sitting on the ground with a banana peel and an empty container of 2% milk next to her, she realized that she had to get a divorce. Tired of being used and unappreciated by her husband, she wanted a better life.
When that ah-ha moment hits, you know it is time to move on. But putting a divorce into action is another thing. What are the first steps? How do you go about putting them into action? You need to be prepared when this moment occurs. Below are the first important steps towards starting the divorce process.
Make a divorce to-do list of all things you think need to be done.
Look into getting a divorce attorney or mediator. Ask close friends and family members for a recommendation.
Consult your divorce attorney as well as other divorcees and find out what your options are.
Speak to your husband and let him know that you are moving on.
If you have children, decide with your husband when and how is the best way to break the news to them.
Get your files and paperwork in order. See what needs to be addressed before you finalize the divorce.

Goodgame, Rasberry, and Williams descendants
I'm working with the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance on cemeteries in Chilton County Alabama.
Recently my husband and I went to survey and photograph theWilliams Goodgame Cemetery in the area of Chilton County known as Jumbo.Sadly, we discovered that of the 14 original headstones and markers only two remain intact.
I'm currently trying to do some advance work on the cemetery, gathering a list of known descendants and getting the cemetery registered as a historic cemetery with the Alabama Historical Commission.The end goal is clean up, restore, and replace the headstones that have been shattered.
These are the graves of John Crockett Goodgame and his wife Sarah "Sallie" Rasberry Goodgame.
John, the son of John Chapman Goodgame and Sarah Crockett, was born in Georgia on 27 June 1801 and died in Jumbo Chilton Co., AL on 22 May 1889.Sarah, the daughter of Thomas Rasberry, was born in Georgia on 14 June 1802/04 and died 17 Sept, 1889 in Chilton Co., AL.
I am not trying to solicit donations for a cemetery fund at this moment, but, rather trying to gather up names and emails of people who are descended from this couple or who are interested in donating funds when we are ready to proceed to that step.
If you would like to be placed on a list to be emailed updates on this cemetery please contact me at email@example.com
Thank you,
Kat Reece

Extensions are the central mechanism for contributing behavior to the platform. Unless your plug-in is a simple Java API library made available to other plug-ins, new behavior is contributed as an extension.
The Extensions page is where you can add, remove and modify the extensions your plug-in contributes to the platform.
Each extension point comes with an xml schema specifying
Extension points define new function points for the platform that other plug-ins can plug into.
The Extension Points page is the place to add, remove and edit extension point declared by your plug-in.
An extension point has three attributes:
- id - a required attribute whose value is a simple name
- name - a required attribute whose value is a translatable
The Build Configuration page contains all the information needed to build, package and export the plug-in. It appears as a page in the plug-in manifest editor, but note that changes made to it will be written by PDE to the build.properties file of the plug-in. This file solely guides the build process.
The Runtime Information section lists all the libraries that you want to build. For
This post is about the source pages of Eclipse plugin project.
Following are the points of interest:
- The plug-in editor manages all three plug-in files at the same time.
- The manifest.mf file is where all the plug-in data and dependencies is stored.
Review the next part of this post.
The plugin.xml file contains the extensions and extension points declared
As you develop your plug-in in the workspace, the incremental Java compiler will compile your Java source code and place the .class files into the bin directory of your PDE project. When you are ready to test your plug-in, you can launch a separate Eclipse application instance to test your new plug-in.
The easiest way to launch an Eclipse application is via the link in the Testing section of the plug-in manifest editor's Overview page. This will immediately create a second Eclipse
In this post, I will talk about Java performance Issues briefly.
The output of a Java compiler is a bytecode and not an executable code. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) interprets the Java bytecode at runtime. Most of the modern programming languages such as C, C++ are not interpreted and compiled to the executable code because of the performance concern. When a program is interpreted, it generally executes slowly when compared with an executable code.
In this article let us see how to use Struts Action Class and forward a jsp file through it.
An Action class in the struts application extends Struts 'org.apache.struts.action.Action" Class. Action class acts as wrapper around the business logic and provides an interface to the application's Model layer. It acts as glue between the View and Model layer. It also transfers the data from the view layer to the specific business process layer and

- ImgCompare (simpleJava class)
HelloServlet contains a HTML form that has a dropdown menu. Menu contains 2 JPG files. You should have following images at the given path:
In this post, I will write about how Java generics help us in using legacy code.
Generics are new in Java and now developers understand the importance of it and it is being used as required. Question arises, what about the legacy code? Consider an IT firm that is working on an application for 5 years, and they used Java 1.4 for development. They the plan to use 1.5 for development simply because it is better than 1.4. Are they supposed to convert the old code to 1.5 also? This is
Web applications differ from conventional websites in that web applications can create a dynamic response. To make it easier to reference dynamic data from a page, the Struts framework offers a set of tags. Some of the tags mimic standard HTML tag while providing added value. Other tags create non-standard, but useful controls. While HTML provides a simple a tag for creating hyperlinks, the HTML tag often requires us to include redundant information. Also the HTML tag cannot easily access dynamic
Lets make a HelloWorld example using Struts.
Suppose you want to create a simple "Hello World" example that displays a welcome message. To create a "Hello World" example, you need to do three things:
1. Create a server page HelloWorld.jsp to present the messages Java Code: <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

<s:property value="message"></s:property>

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

Apache Struts is a free open-source framework for creating Java web applications. In this post, I will write about Apache Struts.
In a standard Java EE web application, the client will typically submit information to the server via a web form. The information is then either handed over to a Java Servlet which processes it, interacts with a database and produces an HTML-formatted response, or it is given to a JavaServer Pages (JSP) document which intermingles HTML and Java code to
Designing large sized enterprise applications is a difficult task because the code maintenance becomes difficult as the size of application goes. Model View Controller Architecture presents a solution to this. In this post, I will introduce you to MVC.
Web applications based on JavaServer Pages sometimes mix database code, page design code, and control flow code. In practice, we find that unless these concerns are separated, larger applications become difficult to maintain. One way

Sometimes you want to keep legacy code and for that you have to use older version of Java. These days, people are working in Java 5 and Java 6. But still developers are using legacy code which means using Java 1.3 and Java 1.4. In this post, I will brief you how to change the Java version for projects in Eclipse.
Eclipse provides support for changing the Java version through few clicks. Eclipse 3.3.0 has Java 5.0 configured. So if you do not specify Java version, your project will
Eclipse provides a console window in which you see the output of your Java program. Normally default properties are sufficient and developers are satisfied with it. In some cases, you might want to change the look and feel of the console window. I'll write about this in this post.
The default console looks like this:
Now lets try to change the look and feel. Click
Some times you have a class with concrete methods and you want to declare an interface with all the methods in the class. You may call it backtracking. In this post, I will write about how to do this in Eclipse.
Suppose we have a class called Students that has methods defined in it. We want to generate the interface for it in Eclipse. Simply right click the class name, or simply right click anywhere in the code and select Refactor > Extract interface. A new window will open. Name
Eclipse includes a useful feature called outline. It helps the developer to get a birds eyes view of the class. In this post, I will explore it.
You can display outline panel of your class by Navigate > Show in > Outline.
Eclipse Outline
Outline will show all the methods and fields in the class. It used special symbols for private, public, static fields
While the Eclipse platform is designed to serve as an open tools platform, it is architect so that its components could be used to build just about any client application. The minimal set of plug-ins needed to build a rich client application is collectively known as the Rich Client Platform.
Applications that don't require a common resource model can be built using a subset of the platform. These rich applications are still based on a dynamic plug-in model, and the UI is built using
The presentation of your Rich Client Platform application can be changed using the org.eclipse.ui.presentationFactories extension point.
This example will show how to use the R2.1 presentation, provided by the org.eclipse.ui.presentations.r21 plugin, in the RCP Browser Example application. Here is a screen shot of the browser example using the R2.1 presentation.
This is an example of a simple Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application. It is a bare bones web browser, using the SWT Browser control.
To load the browser example source into your workspace, load project org.eclipse.ui.examples.rcp.browser from the Eclipse CVS repository.
The code is in package org.eclipse.ui.examples.browser, and consists of an application class (BrowserApp), a workbench advisor for configuring the workbench (BrowserAdvisor),
The definition of a rich client application plug-in starts out similarly to the other plug-ins we've been studying. The only difference in the first part of the markup is that the list of required plug-ins is much smaller than we've been used to. XML Code:

The Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) allows developers to use the Eclipse architecture to design flexible and extensible applications re-using a lot of already existing functionality and coding patterns inherent in Eclipse. Programmers can build their own applications on existing platforms. Instead of having to write a complete application from scratch, they can benefit from proven and tested features of the framework provided by the platform. Building on a platform facilitates faster application
In this post, I will talk about the performance issues related to vector capacity. I have noticed, that normally developers dont care about the performance issues and declare the vector as: Java Code: Vector vector = new Vector();
Newly created vector has no element in it so its size is 0 but its capacity is 10 by default. So if you dont specify the capacity of the vector (and call the default constructor), its capacity will be 10. Capacity of the vector is the
Vector vector = new Vector();
Collections can be of a particular type i.e they are only allowed to hold objects of a defined type. This is called bounded by. For example: Java Code: ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
Vector vector = new Vector();
We declared an ArrayList and a Vector both bounded by String. We cannot store objects other than String in these. Lets try to store an integer in Vector and see what happens. Java Code: Vector vector = new Vector();
ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
Vector vector = new Vector();
Vector vector = new Vector();
An interface can extend other interface but cannot implement any interface. This makes sense because interface cannot have any implementation. An interface can only contain abstract methods that are implemented by the class implementing that interface.
Lets do this with an example.
Create a package named myinterfaces. Using conventions, package name should be in small case. Now create an interface named InterfaceA with 2 methods. Java Code: package myinterfaces;
package myinterfaces;
LinkedList is a special type of List which is very useful in certain scenarios. Some important facts about LinkedList are:
- It is not synchronized
- It does not use array internally for storage
- It uses pointers internally to point to next node
- It implements Cloneable, List and Serializable interfaces
LinkedList is preferred when you know that you have to add and delete data from the start or from middle of the list. It perform addition and deletion
Interfaces contain abstract methods that implementing class has to implement. It is must for the implementing class to implement all the methods found in the interface. Sometimes you face a situation where you have to implement more than one interface. How to do that?
One way is to simply try to write one interface with all the abstract methods. This is not at all flexible as all of these interfaces might be used in different scenarios. So its better to keep each as a separate interface.
Constructors are used for initialization normally. Name of constructor should be same as that of the class. If no constructor is declared, a default constructor is created without parameters. Constructor does not return any thing.
Consider the example below. ClassB inherits from ClassA. In the MainClass, we made an object of ClassB. Default constructor will be called. But the output suggests that first Constructor of ClassA is called and then the constructor of classB is called.

Have Tax Questions? Ask a Tax Expert for Answers ASAP
This is what HMRC say (but they would, wouldn't they, because it reduces the relief?), and it is how they do their example. But is this what the law says? Many thanks.
Not that I needed to as I know how the system works, I've just done a calculation using a third party software (not the HMRC software) and it has included the chargeable event gain in the calculation of entitlement or otherwise to the personal allowance. I can assure you that what is says on the HMRC site is legally sound.This policy affects pensioners who would normally be entitled to an increased personal allwoance by reason of their age were it not for restrictions based on level of income and chargeable event gains being fully included in the calculation of age allowance entitlement.I will locate the legislation and give you a link to it.
Thank you for these links. I have read what I can of the legislation, in particular section 537 of the 2007 Act, and at step 2 the tax on the slices (one slice from each bond) is calculated on the basis that the total chargeable event gains are equal to the sum of these slices. And on this basis, my total income is just over £40,000, and therefore this calculation should give me my full personal allowance (no age allowance of course). The third example at IPTM3850 (HMRC's interpretation of the legislation) does not give the personal allowance on the calculation of the tax on the slice, and I cannot see that the legislation (section 537) gives any grounds for not giving the personal allowance in that part of the calculation. The legislation I am looking for (if it exists) is the bit that says that the tax on the slice (step 2) is calculated using the allowances which are available (or not) as per the tax calculation that includes the total gains from the chargeable events?
The chargeable events were in 2012/13, and the software has calculated the top slicing relief as you and HMRC say it should be done. I do appreciate what you say about banging my head against a very thick brick wall but there is a difference of nearly £10,000 (my head is already sore at that, so maybe a brick wall won't hurt it much more). And yes please, I would be interested in any third-party website views which actually mention the basis of the calculation of the tax on the 'slice' (if it is easier for you, then any websites other than HMRC that deal with top slicing on chargeable events, then I can trawl through them between now and the end of January and see what they have to say for themselves). Many thanks.
I am sorry but you seem you have missed the point of my question.
I am aware (not happy, but aware) that I get no personal allowance in what I would call the 'main' calculation (total other income plus total chargeable event gains less any available personal allowances [none in my case], then work out the 'full' tax at the relevant rates and then deduct tax taken at source and whatever top slicing relief I can calculate to arrive at my 'net tax due'), because my total income including all the chargeable event gains is well over £100,000.
I am not asking for any of the personal allowance in this calculation.
It is the 'slice' calculation that I think HMRC has got wrong, because step 2 (both section 536 on single events and section 537 on multiple events) appear to be clear in saying that the total income for this calculation includes only the slice (not the total chargeable gains). And on this basis my income is well under £100,000 and I think I should not lose my personal allowance in this 'slice' calculation.
The third-party references you give appear to refer only to the 'main' calculation (which I accept), not to the step 2 'slice' calculation. Am I right in thinking that this is how HMRC do step 2 and therefore everyone is supposed to accept what they say?

Leo Lutwak, 77, an Early Critic of Fen-Phen
By JEREMY PEARCE
Published: March 27, 2006
Dr. Leo Lutwak, a biochemist and nutritionist who raised early concerns about health risks from the diet aid fen-phen while he was a medical officer for the Food and Drug Administration, died on Feb. 23 at a hospital in Maryland. He was 77 and lived in Silver Spring, Md.
The cause was pneumonia, his family said.
At the F.D.A., Dr. Lutwak reviewed the medical literature on fen-phen and one of its constituent drugs, dexfenfluramine (marketed as Redux), which was then used as an appetite suppressant in diet supplements. Despite Dr. Lutwak's warnings, the agency approved fen-phen in 1996.
Some six million people took the diet drugs Redux and Pondimin, which were combined with the generic phentermine to make the weight-loss cocktail known as fen-phen. Phentermine remains on the market.
Redux and Pondimin were withdrawn in 1997 after reports linked them to hypertension and heart-valve problems.
Dr. Lutwak, a former nutritionist at Cornell, emerged as a critic of the F.D.A.'s relationship with pharmaceutical manufacturers. He was later cited in an investigative book about fen-phen and in a Los Angeles Times series on the agency. The series received a Pulitzer Prize in 2001.
While at Cornell, from 1963 to 1972, Dr. Lutwak studied the role of calcium in preventing osteoporosis, and questioned the nutritive value of many breakfast cereals. He said the cereals tended to lack vitamins and minerals and ''cost more per pound than if you ate filet mignon.''
In 1965, he contributed to studies of metabolism and the physiological effects of weightlessness on astronauts on the Gemini 7 space flight.
Leo Lutwak was born in the Bronx. He received an undergraduate degree at the College of the City of New York. He earned a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Michigan. He later received a medical degree from Yale.
Dr. Lutwak taught briefly at Georgetown and was a senior investigator for the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases from 1960 to 1963. In the 1970's, he worked in private practice in Los Angeles; Akron, Ohio; and Huntsville, Ala., before joining the F.D.A. in the late 1980's. He retired two years ago.
Dr. Lutwak's first wife, the former Cecile Kroshinsky, died in 1976. A second marriage ended in divorce.
He is also survived by three daughters, Diane Lutwak of Brooklyn, Aviva Lutwak of North Potomac, Md., and Jean Pavlov of Oakland, Calif.; four sons, David, of Montgomery Village, Md., Paul, of Freeville, N.Y., Mark, of Kaneohe, Hawaii, and Robert, of Marblehead, Mass.; a sister, Helen Lutwak of Silver Spring; and six grandchildren.

Let's face facts, the Scottish summer is short and unpredictable but luckily there is so much going on around the country that last minute short jaunts are the order of the day.
Auld Reekie was the latest stop in our bid to find the perfect afternoon stop whilst on such a trip. Be it sightseeing, show grabbing or simply trying something deliciously different, the Flying Dog in Edinburgh is well worth a shot.
On the corner of Henderson Street in foodie haven Leith, the Flying Dog sits on an intriguingly historical site.
As Trusty Mother (TM) and I scanned the enticing but not overly complicated menu, director Vivienne Lennox, filled us in on the ancient crypts in the basement and the site's links to the Knights Templar, a curious twist to an often generic venue.
There is a nod to Americana but exposed brickwork and well thought-out wall art hints more to modern Leith eateries than tacky diner.
It's hard to imagine a hot dog that's not just a pallid 'sausage' plopped in between dry bread, hidden beneath mounds of vinegary sauce and tasteless onions. But somehow the Flying Dog manages to resurrect the uninspiring cinema snack to one of gourmet standards.
The Flying Dog, £6.50, arrived squashed between a flavoursome squishy, bun courtesy of the Artisan Bakery, which delivers the rolls fresh every morning. There was a warm, deep flavour in the hot dog, instantly recognisable for the features we all love to hate in a dog but assured by the 95 per cent pork guarantee from Vivienne. Topped with rich chilli, melted cheese and jalapeno peppers it sits on the menu between nine other variations.
The flip side to The Flying Dog is a choice of Smorrebrod, Danish open sandwiches. Hearty and clean TM went for the traditional option, piled high with sweetly cured herring atop the rye 'brod', also £6.50.
The healthy salad, in size and nature, was a sympathetic side.
Although a tad confusing in style (is it a diner, a restuarant, American, Danish?) what really comes across is a genuine care for the product.
It's a brave move to put all your eggs in a hot dog basket but with quality and the laid back atmosphere you could easily wile away hours planning your way around the city.
