The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Sherrod back, but Worthy, Richardson and Tretter on hold
Green Bay - Short an offensive lineman after putting Greg Van Roten on injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers aren't wasting a second to work tackle Derek Sherrod into football shape.
Roughly 22 months since fracturing both bones in his lower right leg in a 2011 game in Kansas City, the former first-round pick jumped into line drills and mixed it up with teammates in the trenches just as he had as a rookie two years ago.
Sherrod was the only one of the four Packers on the reserve / physically unable to perform list (PUP) who practiced Wednesday. All of them became eligible this week following a six-week period in which NFL rules dictated they couldn't practice with their teammates.
Once Sherrod stepped on the field the clock began ticking on a three-week window in which he can practice without counting against the 53-man roster. After the three weeks is up, the Packers must add him to the 53, cut him or put him on season-ending injured reserve.
At this point, it doesn't look like the Packers have any intention of doing anything but adding him to the roster. The only caveat is that he must show the leg injury hasn't robbed him of the talent that led the Packers to make him their first pick in the '11 draft.
"It was definitely surreal just to be out there with my teammates, just practicing and going through everything with them was pretty good, a good experience," Sherrod said. "It has been awhile."
The Packers did not start the clock on their other PUP members: defensive end Jerel Worthy, safety Sean Richardson and offensive lineman JC Tretter despite all three being eligible to practice. A decision on those three can be made as late as five weeks from now, but they may not practice more than three weeks and they must be consecutively.
Of the three, Tretter, who tore ligaments in his ankle during OTAs, is the only one not physically ready to practice. Worthy and Richardson both said they are ready, but other circumstances are affecting their status.
In Worthy's case, it appears general manager Ted Thompson wants to delay his start because his defensive line is healthy and playing well and because of so many injuries he can't afford to use a roster spot at a position of strength. Worthy feels he's ready, but is deferring to his boss.
"That's just Ted upstairs," Worthy, a second-round pick last season who tore his ACL against Minnesota Dec. 30. "We have a lot of injuries with the rest of the team. One thing is great is that our D-line is intact and those guys are playing lights out upfront.
"He wants to make sure we continue to prepare as if I am going to play. I'm going about it as though it's another workday for me. When my number is called, I'll be ready to go, but until then I just have to bide my time and be patient."
The Packers envisioned Worthy as someone who could develop into a fine inside pass rusher and definitely plan to add him to the 53-man roster. One area in which they have escaped injury is the defensive line and if Worthy were to begin practicing Wednesday, Thompson would have to make a roster move no later than three weeks from now.
Richardson's situation is different than all of the others. He said he is ready to practice but is waiting for the Packers to make a decision on whether they want to risk putting him on the field.
In January, spinal surgeon Robert Watkins performed single-level cervical fusion surgery involving the C-5 vertebrae , which is at the lower end of the neck. According to Richardson, Watkins has told him that he's confident he can resume his career.
"Yes, last time I talked to him," Richardson said. "That's what he said."
Watkins also did a single-level fusion on Denver quarterback Peyton Manning at the C-6, C-7 level and Manning has performed without incident.
However, spinal surgeons have said that the safety position makes one much more susceptible to herniated disks and when Nick Collins underwent a fusion at C-3, C-4, Thompson refused to put him on the field and released him.
Richardson is waiting for the Packers to make a decision on him. When Richardson was placed on PUP, coach Mike McCarthy said the Packers wanted to wait a little longer before making a final evaluation of his neck condition.
"I'm guessing they're trying to go through the process," Richardson said. "I guess they have to talk to the doc then make a decision. But I don't know.
"This is the first time I've been in this situation, so I don't know. I haven't talked to them about this situation. I really don't know what's going on."
As the others wait, Sherrod is trying to shake the rust off. Sherrod practiced for two weeks last year while on PUP, but he was clearly not ready to come back and was very limited in the work he did. On Thursday, he'll be cleared to do all the drills in pads for the first time since the injury.
The Packers aren't going to push him too hard, but they also aren't going to baby him.
"How we integrate him into the team work is something we've talked about," McCarthy said. "We're not going to just roll him out there and have him play 55 snaps in pads. I don't think that's really smart with what he's been through and the path he had to take to get to this point.
"So, we will break him in and push as far as we can. Just be smart."

Can Sherrod play linebacker?Hide replies
I'm going to go out on a limb and say, "No he's too slow Montee".
Neal went from D-line to OLB, so of course Sherrod can switch. I'd like to see him at WR, though. Myles White is unproven.
Maybe Sherrod could be a new kind of player - DL/ILB hybrid. He could just take up space in the A-Gaps.....;-) ;-)
Or a completely new position called a DILB A down Inside linebacker :-)
Tackle is still one of the weakest spots on the team. They need Sherrod.
I presume Tom meant 22 games, not 22 years.Hide replies
Tom needs to sit out a few weeks until his concussions heals.
Um, he said 22 months.
It was "22 years". I saw it myself. It's been edited since then. Kind of funny, actually.....;-) ;-)
Ok missed that Only get on this after work...
I'm not sure what he did on the Wonderlic, but maybe he could replace Campen.Hide replies
Why? GB's O-line is ranked fairly high at present. In fact, Football Outsiders has them the best run-blocking unit, while PFF rates them #7 overall.
I for one am looking forward to seing Sherrod back on the field. He is a very good player who was just coming on when he devestated his leg. Good competition at the Tackle position. You can neverhave too many good "big guys". Look what having Jolly back on the D line has done for this team.
C'mon kid, hit the field an let's see what you got.
I've been waiting on this kid to help solidify the o-line and push the other two young bucks to step up their game. Sherrod can do nothing but help.
Given the Packers' depleted situation at wide receiver, I'd like to see Sherrod tried as a fullback in a short-yardage package and possibly in a wishbone set with Lacey and Franklin. The Packers might have to lean on their running game harder than ever if they lose another veteran wideout or if they're forced to play in a blizzard, and since they're not eager to bring in a veteran receiver, they need to play to their strengths. If Sherrod's leg is properly healed, he could give defenses fits as as an agile, supersized fullback.

Five years ago, when the idea of celebrating "The Rite of Spring" began percolating at UNC-Chapel Hill, one of the first people that Carolina Performing Arts director Emil Kang called was Anne Bogart. Paying proper homage to Igor Stravinsky's 1913 masterwork would be a tall order, but Bogart – director of New York's ensemble-based SITI Company – has never shied away from ambitious programs.
"Anne was among the artists I talked to very early on," Kang said last fall. "It was a great privilege to be able to take part in this with everyone."
Bogart's contribution to the program premieres this weekend, a piece called "A Rite." A collaboration between Bogart's theatrical group and the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, it features a "deconstruction" of Stravinsky's original score. And Bogart jokes that she actually got off lightly compared to her collaborators.
"For anyone in dance, hearing the words 'Rite of Spring' is terrifying," Bogart said. "It's the biggest gauntlet for any choreographer, because it's so iconic and every great choreographer since 1913 has attempted to stage it. For me as a theater director, however, there's no onus. I grew up hearing the music and I've always been excited by it. The prospect of doing this was thrilling because it meant I got to live with it; get inside it, study it, be altered by it. Try to figure out why it caused riots, why people were so upset."
Indeed, "The Rite of Spring" was hugely controversial in its day. When it debuted in Paris in 1913, the initial performance of "Rite" caused a riot because its unsettling dissonance was so far outside the norm of what audiences expected.
But that was 100 years ago. Since then, "Rite" has become a familiar touchstone, especially after Walt Disney used the music to score a sequence depicting earth through geologic time in the 1940 cartoon epic "Fantasia."
"I don't know what music would make people crazy now," Bogart said. "It's hard to find an equivalent now. People are so used to extreme information, it's not as easy as it used to be. What about 'Rite of Spring' so outraged people that they found it unbearable? And then two months later in London, it was a hit and completely accepted. Then it was turned into advertising, Disney music and who knows what else."
For Bogart and Jones, overcoming that very familiarity was a challenge – along with trying to bridge the different artistic languages of dance and theater. "A Rite" draws from and extends one of Bogart's previous projects, 2007's "Who Do You Think You Are," which was based on "Rite of Spring" as well as Jonah Lehrer's book "Proust Was a Neuroscientist" (which was about what happened to people's brains upon hearing Stravinsky's "Rite" in 1913).
"There's the interesting notion that new music, whether rock 'n' roll or Stravinsky, changes neuron patterning in the brain through the shock of the new," Bogart said. "We're actually using some material from the book in our collaboration, so there's a little brain science in it as well. Americans think of the French Revolution as 'Les Mis' even if they've never seen it, because it's so pervasive. 'Rite of Spring' is also a deeply pervasive icon, people sort of know it even if they've never actually listened to it. That suggests we take in cultural influences by osmosis."

QDRO Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Do we have to use the model QDRO to divide benefits for ATRS?
ATRS does not require use of the model QDRO but any QDRO accepted by ATRS must comply with our benefit code and will usually need to contain most of the provisions in the model in order for ATRS to accept it.
2. What if both parties participate in ATRS?
If both parties participate in ATRS, a qualified order is needed for each account if benefits were assigned to the former spouse. For example, if John Doe and Jane Doe are both ATRS participants and obtain a divorce, in order for ATRS to pay John Doe from Jane Doe's benefits, a QDRO is needed. If each party is assigned a portion of the other's benefits, a separate QDRO is needed for both participants.
3. Where do we send a QDRO for approval by ATRS?
Prior to having a judge sign the order and having it entered by the court clerk, one of the parties or attorneys should MAIL or E-MAIL a draft copy of the QDRO to ATRS at:
Arkansas Teacher Retirement System
1400 West Third St.
Little Rock, AR 72201
Attn: QDRO – Legal Division
ATRS will confirm or deny the acceptability of the proposed QDRO as it pertains to the administration of the QDRO by ATRS. After the judge has signed the approved order and it has been entered by the court clerk, one of the parties or attorneys should send a FILE MARKED copy of the QDRO to ATRS. Providing the order to your employer is not sufficient to notify ATRS of a QDRO and your employer will not be able to administer the QDRO for you.
4. What if ATRS determines the order is not a "qualified" order?
The parties and their attorneys will be notified that the order is not qualified and the basis for that determination. If ATRS does not receive a revised order that it will accept, ATRS will pay the ATRS participant any benefits due without further notice to the former spouse.
5. What if the ATRS participant has already been divorced?
The model order may be used if the ATRS participant has a prior divorce with a QDRO. However, ATRS can only administer both orders if the subsequent order does not attempt to require ATRS to pay benefits already assigned to the alternate payee (former spouse) from a prior divorce. For example, a QDRO could assign a portion of your accrued benefits from 1995-1997 to alternate payee A and a subsequent QDRO could assign a portion of your benefits to alternate payee B from 1998 –2008.
6. When do benefits to my former spouse cease in the QDRO?
If ATRS is ordered to pay a portion of your retirement annuity to a former spouse under a QDRO, the monthly benefits will begin when you begin drawing benefits and will cease for both parties when the participant dies. ATRS will not adjust benefits for the life of the alternate payee under a QDRO.
7. What if I remarry the alternate payee or otherwise reach a subsequent resolution to a property settlement after a QDRO is accepted by ATRS?
The QDRO will stay in effect even if the parties remarry each other or agree to cancel the order. The QDRO remains in place unless the parties return to the court that entered the QDRO and obtain an order superceding or nullifying the QDRO of record. It is not sufficient that one of the parties notify ATRS that they agree to release or cancel the QDRO.
8. When using the model, how do I insert information?
When using the model, you should insert the appropriate information as replacement for the phrases set off by parentheses or brackets. For example, (Date of Divorce) should be replaced with "April 2, 2002" or the appropriate date your divorce was granted.
9. When the model order gives me a choice, how do I choose?
Where there is a choice of alternatives, you may only use one of the alternatives provided in the model. Do not list all of the alternatives or ATRS will not be able to administer the order. When the model gives you instructions such as [Use either A or B], remove those instructional phrases from the order so the order is not confusing. The model order is set up to work where the choices of A or B should be consistent throughout the order.
10. How do I know if my QDRO choices are consistent with my divorce decree or other property settlement in my divorce?
Attorneys and parties using the model QDRO and the model to determine marital property rights in a divorce should modify in the language in the model as necessary to comply with the property settlement of the individual case. ATRS is unable to provide legal advice as to how the benefits should be divided. ATRS is also unable to advise as to whether a particular QDRO complies with your property settlement agreement or divorce decree. The ATRS legal department may provide assistance in drafting modified language that complies with the plan or explain how to use the model QDRO.
11. How do I obtain information on my retirement plan for purposes of my divorce?
If you are the spouse or former spouse of an ATRS participant or are the attorney representing either party, you may obtain information on the participants account or benefits under certain circumstances. Your attorney or the attorney for your former spouse may issue a subpoena for the relevant documents or the participant may consent to the information being released in writing.
The participant may also consent in writing to the release of his or her account information for this purpose. If granted permission, you or your attorney may receive information regarding the participant's account by writing a letter requesting the relevant information. Please include your name, social security number, the time period that you are interested in, the address and parties to which the information should be mailed, and your signature. If your attorney sends the request, he or she should include a statement of representation, indicate who he or she represents, and a state bar number. Please discuss the need for your information from ATRS very early with your counsel. You should submit a request for information at least 4 weeks before the information is needed for trial or settlement.
12. How do I determine the "value" of my retirement plan?
ATRS provides the parties with specific, objective information on a participant's ATRS benefits. This includes information such as the amount of contributions and interest in the account at the time of divorce, amount of salary and service accrued during the marriage, whether the service is contributory or noncontributory, and a retirement estimate based on the current service credit and salary on file with the plan. ATRS will not provide estimates based on projected or assumed service and salary changes.
If you wish to calculate such estimates, you may do so by using the basic standard annuity benefits calculator on our website. You will need to input the final average salary (3 highest salaries) X years of service X the applicable multiplier (contributory or noncontributory plan). Divide the total by 12 and that will provide the monthly benefit. An annuity benefit calculator is available on the ATRS website which will perform this calculation for you.
ATRS is frequently asked to calculate the "value" or "present value" of a participant's retirement benefits. The determination of "value" of a participant's account is a subjective process based on several assumptions. For this reason, ATRS may not provide a determination of the "present value" of your benefits nor is such a valuation needed for the model QDRO. If you wish to obtain a valuation, you must consult with a private actuary or other expert who can provide assistance and testimony on this matter. You should consult with your attorney as to the need and cost of such assistance.
13. What if I purchase service in ATRS, does this count as marital property which is assigned in the QDRO?
When a participant purchases qualifying service to be counted toward ATRS benefit calculations, this service is credited toward the participant's retirement upon full payment of the purchase amount. ATRS does not take a position on whether to include purchased service as "accrued benefits" assigned in a QDRO. If you have purchased service, the language in your QDRO needs to include specifics as to whether the purchased "service" should be included in the benefits assigned to the alternate payee.
14. May a QDRO require an immediate distribution of a participant's account?
No, the ATRS plan provides when a participant may receive a distribution. Any benefits assigned in a QDRO will only be paid when the participant is eligible to receive the distribution in compliance with our plan statutes. A QDRO does not entitle either the participant or the alternate payee to withdraw benefits outside of the plan provisions immediately after a divorce.
15. What if I retire prior to the court entering a QDRO assigning my ATRS benefits to a former spouse?
ATRS retirement benefits are paid as a monthly annuity for the lifetime of the participant. If the participant retires prior to the QDRO, ATRS is only able to apply the division to monthly benefits paid after ATRS has received the QDRO.
16. How are payments from ATRS under a QDRO reported to the IRS?
If ATRS makes separate payments under a QDRO to a participant and alternate payee, it will be reported to the IRS separately for each individual. Benefits and other amounts paid to participants and alternate payees are generally taxable. Certain payments that represent payments to ATRS with after tax dollars may be nontaxable to the extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. When a portion of benefits is being paid to the alternate payee, a proportionate part of the non-taxable amount is attributed to the alternate payee. Each party will receive an IRS form 1099-R each year prior to January 31 containing the amount of payments made for the prior calendar year and amount of non-taxable payments, if any.
17. If the alternate payee dies prior to receipt of benefits under a QDRO, do the benefits revert to the participant?
Under the terms of the model QDRO, the benefits are returned to the participant.
18. What if I do not include certain ATRS benefits in the QDRO?
ATRS will administer the order as written. ATRS will not pay benefits to the alternate payee not authorized in the order. A QDRO does not have to assign all of the ATRS benefits to the alternate payee.
19. What if the participant is eligible for the lump sum death benefit?
The lump sum death benefit is a set amount payable upon the death of active or retired ATRS members with ten (10) or more years of service credit. The model QDRO does not address the lump sum death benefit since the plan allows the participant to nominate his/her beneficiary. If the parties wish to require a certain person or entity to be the participant's beneficiary, the participant should complete a lump sum beneficiary form and submit it to ATRS. There is no need to complete a QDRO for this purpose. (ACA § 24-7-720).
20. Who is responsible for notifying ATRS of the QDRO?
One of the parties or attorneys for the parties must provide a certified copy of the QDRO to ATRS. If this is not done, ATRS will not know that benefits are to be paid to a former spouse and will pay the participant the full amount of benefits from the plan.
21. If I am the alternate payee, how do I set up my ATRS account in order to receive benefits under a QDRO?
Under the Members (Divorce and Your ATRS Benefits) tab on the ATRS website, there is a form #301 entitled "
Alternate Payee Enrollment Form
." Please complete this form and submit it to ATRS. You will need to keep your address information up to date. ATRS has a change of address form you may use to update your contact information with us.

The sky was no limit for the space shuttle program in 1991. Three shuttles orbited Earth regularly, and a fourth, Endeavour, had just rolled off a Palmdale production line. With construction of the International Space Station looming, the future was bright for NASA's prized fleet.
The space agency planned to use the shuttles for many years, perhaps decades. But Ken Phillips was already thinking ahead.

YORK — The Miss York County scholarship pageant and Miss Teen York County pageant will be Saturday, Nov. 9 at the Sylvia Theater in downtown York.
The pageant, which is still accepting applications from contestants, is open to women ages 17 to 23 for Miss York County and ages 13 to 17 for Miss Teen. It is a preliminary event for the Miss South Carolina and Miss America pageants.
Karen Fritz, director of the local pageant, said organizers opened up participation to contestants across the state to ensure the pageant has enough participation.
"Once we are able to establish ourselves, we will be open to York County residents only," she said. Contestants would be required to live, work or attend school in York County.
Fritz said the Miss York County winner will receive a $750 scholarship sponsored by Agape Assisted Living. The first runner-up will receive a $250 scholarship, she said, and the teens will receive savings bonds.
Earlier this week, 11 contestants were expected to participate.
During the pageant, the reigning Miss York Leslie Knight and Miss York Teen Vanna Sams will crown successors. Fritz said the pageant was called the Miss York pageant for the past two years, but was open to contestants across the county.
This year will mark the third pageant since the last Miss York was crowned in 1977. In 2011, a group of York residents organized a committee to bring back the pageant, and in 2012 Alyssa Puckett was crowned the first Miss York in 35 years.
Knight was crowned last year. She placed in the top 15 in the 2013 Miss South Carolina Pageant, where she was awarded the Miss America Community Service Scholarship and the title Miss Photogenic.

Search Engine Optimization: Keywords in URLs
For search engine optimization, keywords in URLs are important. Your keywords really are a great tool to reach potential customers, so make them a priority. Nevertheless, you need to do much more than just have those keywords in your tags as well as your text. They ought to also be found inside your URLs. This is a logical stage to really get more general benefits out of your Search engine optimization efforts. Nevertheless, this continues to be an area exactly where many web site proprietors are dropping the ball.
Your domain name is a large place to begin. Does one have any one of your effective keywords in it? This may be difficult to alter now if you already have the company up and operating. In the event you are not at that point yet, you want to make certain you get a domain name which has powerful keywords in it.
Think about your niche market for a second. By doing so, you'll rapidly start to determine numerous possibilities you have to put keywords into that domain title. You are able to also buy a domain title which has such keywords in it and utilize it for your existing web site if you would like via redirecting. This may be complicated but it is a viable option if you want to consider your Search engine optimization efforts to the next level.
In the event you don't think that keywords inside your URLs are essential, you'll need to find out some background about all of it. You also have to find out what the leader in search engines, Google, has to say about this. Till 2005, Google was putting all the emphasis on the websites that had keywords in their domain name.
That began to alter though in 2005 and there were plenty of other elements the search engine Google was basing ranks on. However, in the past yr or so much more of the excess weight has shifted back again towards the keywords being discovered in that domain title. With that in mind, performing so could assist you to to have an edge over your competitors when you are parallel to them in so might other Search engine optimization components.
You are able to also place keywords into your sub domains, but it is a bit much more complex to achieve. If your website has enough content material to supply a separate section for sub domains though then you should rely on them. You are able to use various keywords too in order to pretty represent various divisions of your company.
It is highly recommended which you location your keywords in to the directory too. This allows you to properly categorize the web site into lots of smaller divisions and sections. You want to make use of keywords for the file names as well so that they are often useful using the process of describing what is on a particular website.
Google is not the sole search engine available that gives more excess weight to a website once they have keywords within their URL. Be sure you maintain issues well-balanced although and which you do not seem like you are stuffing supplies anyplace that may get you banned. Doing it correct will help you to get an excellent ranking placement with the numerous search engines.

This week in rock history, Little Richard renounced rock & roll, the Faces performed in concert for the last time, Sid Vicious's girlfriend Nancy Spungen died, Madonna gave birth to her first child and Eric Clapton opened his rehab center.
October 12th, 1957: After a near-death experience, Little Richard renounces rock & roll and embraces God
The self-proclaimed "architect of rock & roll" thought less of his handiwork in 1957, when he almost died en route to a concert.
Little Richard, the ecstatic singer/pianist behind "Tutti Frutti," "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and other rock standbys, was in Australia in the midst of another debaucherous world tour (replete with the usual drugs and orgies) when he boarded a plane to Sydney. While in the air, one of the engines caught fire; in the panic, the singer saw angels holding up his plane (as he later explained to the press). He and his band landed safely in Sydney, though, and the shaken musician took the stage that evening to tell his audience that he was quitting rock & roll and turning to God.
After the show, to prove his intent to his dubious backing musicians, the flamboyant singer tossed his wildly expensive diamond jewelry into a river. When he returned to the United States, he entered a seminary in Alabama and studied to become a Seventh Day Adventist Preacher. Later, he released a gospel record, The King of the Gospel Singers, and returned to rock & roll touring in 1962, supported by a then-little-known act called the Beatles.
October 12, 1975: The Faces make their final live appearance
The Faces represented an unusual moment in British rock: they were a veritable supergroup, with members who came from and would go on to enormous pop success, but a limited phenomenon while they were together.
The group formed in 1969 from the ashes of the Small Faces, a respected mod band of the mid-1960s, after singer Steve Marriott left the group to start the rock band Humble Pie. The remaining members – bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones – recruited two prominent musicians from the bluesy Jeff Beck Group, singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood.
The band experienced modest success over the next six years, releasing four studio albums and embarking on U.K. and American tours. However, the band split in 1975 due to other enticements: Wood began touring simultaneously with the Rolling Stones, whom he later joined as a full-time member, and Stewart was enjoying far greater success as a solo artist with a string of hit albums, including Every Picture Tells a Story (1971) and Smiler (1974). The group's final show was held at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York.
October 12, 1978: Sid Vicious's girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, dies under mysterious circumstances
The Sex Pistols bassist and his equally self-destructive girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, now serve as shorthand for volatile young love. However, at the time of Spungen's death, only a tragic mystery connected them.
Less than a year after the Sex Pistols broke up (leaving behind only their influential, assaultive punk album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols), the drug-addled Vicious and Spungen stayed at the Hotel Chelsea in New York. On the morning of October 12, Vicious is thought to have hysterically called the police, claiming that he had found Spungen on their bathroom floor, dead from a single stab wound. (The identity of the caller is still unknown.) Vicious was arrested and charged with murder, his story constantly changing: he alternately claimed that he'd stabbed her, that she'd fallen onto the knife, that they'd argued, and that he didn't remember anything that had happened. Friends also stepped in to suggest a drug deal gone awry.
Ten days after Spungen's death, Vicious attempted suicide and was sent to a mental hospital. He died, by suicide, on February 2, 1979; in his pocket was a note referring to a "death pact" between himself and Spungen.

FORT MILL TOWNSHIP — On Sunday, customers of McHales's Irish Pub looked fondly upon the years they enjoyed their favorite dishes and drinks as the restaurant headed into its final week of business here.
The pub's owners, Brendan and Tracy Kuhlkin, announced last week they were closing the pub on Gold Hill Road near Tega Cay after nearly 20 years in business. They will continue to operate the McHale's on Main in Rock Hill. Brendan Kuhlkin said the property has been sold to a Charlotte developer who plans to build homes there.
McHales's is scheduled to close after Feb. 2.
For 14 years, McHale's was a place to spend time with family for Tega Cay resident Diane DeQuinzio. DeQuinzio has been coming to the Fort Mill location three times a week for 14 years and plays darts every Wednesday.
"We're sorry to see McHale's go," she said.
McHale's final day of business in Fort Mill is Super Bowl Sunday and Kuhlkin said there would be specials all day. Customers can book a table for four for $50, which includes any appetizer and dessert and a bucket of beer. The cost of reserving the table will be put toward the tab.

Just when the oppressive summer heat and humidity in South Asia seem no longer tolerable, especially to this Northern expatriate new to Bangladesh, the rains come, bringing relief in the form of cooler temperatures, fresh air, and sparkling trees and flowers.
What also comes with the monsoons is a reprieve from cholera.
Cholera is a form of acute watery diarrhoea, which spreads from person to person through food and water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is a miserable condition involving massive fluid loss and dehydration and left untreated can rapidly decline to death. Cholera is common in places with poor water and sanitation and sometimes causes large epidemics with thousands of people falling ill. Haiti's cholera epidemic following the 2010 earthquake has killed more than 8000 people. The outbreak in South Sudan, currently affecting about 1500 people, is said to be worsening. In Bangladesh, where cholera is endemic, regular outbreaks are a fact of life and well-managed. Still, WHO estimates 3–5 million cases and up to 120,000 cholera deaths each year around the world.
At the public health research institution icddr,b (where I am an employee), our Dhaka Hospital sees about 300 people a day suffering from diarrheal diseases, but just before and after the monsoon this number can spike to as many as 1000 per day. Yes: 1000 patients per day, many with bodies ravaged by the dehydration and sometimes wasting that cholera can cause. Doubling the capacity of the hospital, beds known as 'cholera cots' occupy every available space and icddr,b erects massive tents to absorb the patient load. These tents can inhabit our entire parking lot.

The Daily Star
---- — Several groups of South Kortright elementary students have been sharpening their songwriting skills in a monthlong workshop.
The community will have a chance to hear the fruits of their labors at 8 a.m. Friday at the school's morning program.
Local arts educator Story Laurie, whose real name is Laurie McIntosh, has been working with South Kortright and other participating schools on the Cultivating Connections program. It is designed to maximize the learning opportunities of school gardens and farms by working with teachers and students.
McIntosh is working with Farm Catskills, a community organization working to protect and promote agriculture and the farming way of life. The effort is funded through a grant provided by the Catskill Watershed Corporation.
McIntosh said she is impressed by the South Kortright school garden, which helps bring the harvest to the school kitchen.
"Lately, many communities have realized the health and economic values of local farm-to-school initiative programs," McIntosh said.
This is first chance for the public to see the efforts of the students, she said. Other schools that are involved are Delhi, Andes and Downsville central schools.
At the start of the workshops, she introduces the topics through song. By talking about locally grown food and farms, she helps students decide how to proceed. For South Kortright third-graders, this included singing about where the milk they have with their cereal comes from. Second-graders will share a song about all the things that help plants grow. The first-graders were inspired by a trip to pick pumpkins, she said.
Farm Catskills associate Rachael Smith said programs such as this are important to raise awareness of the importance of working farms to the area.
Friday should be "a lot of fun," not only as an opportunity to showcase creative songwriting. It will be a celebration of local food, she said, with opportunities for visitors to partake in some of what the area has to offer.

People with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes, people with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not cancer. If you are concerned about a symptom or sign on this list, please talk with your doctor.
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Enlarged lymph nodes or spleen
- Weakness, numbness, or other nervous system problems
- Abdominal swelling and diarrhea
- Weakness and shortness of breath
- Infections
- Raised, fleshy-colored lesions on the skin
- Changes in the color of the finger tips when exposed to cold
- Changes in vision
Certain symptoms, called B symptoms, may signal a more aggressive cancer. Doctors may refer to either "A" or "B" when describing the cancer overall.
A means that a person has not experienced B symptoms, listed below.
B means that a person has experienced the following symptoms:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Unexplained fever
- Heavy sweating, especially at night. Most patients report that either their nightclothes or the sheets on the bed are actually wet.
- Itchiness
Symptoms of hyperviscosity (thick blood)
IgM proteins are large molecules, and when they accumulate in the blood in high levels, the blood can become viscous or thick. This slows down the flow of blood to different parts of the body. Symptoms of hyperviscosity include:
- Vision problems
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Loss of coordination
- Headaches
- Nosebleeds and bleeding gums
- Fatigue
Your doctor will ask you questions about the symptoms you are experiencing to help find out the cause of the problem, called a diagnosis. This may include how long you've been experiencing the symptom(s) and how often.
If cancer is diagnosed, relieving symptoms and side effects remains an important part of cancer care and treatment. This may also be called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care. Be sure to talk with your health care team about symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.

RALEIGH — City leaders are ready to launch a new process for handling an increasing number of noise complaints from downtown residents who live near bars and nightclubs.
A city council committee on Tuesday approved a pilot program for noise complaints around Glenwood South, where the number of both bars and apartments is growing fast – often clashing when residents head to bed as bars get busy. The new approach aims to bring together both sides to discuss solutions.
"The hallmark of this entire thing is basically communication, to try to understand and resolve issues without involving the police," said Dan Lovenheim, who owns two bars on Glenwood South and partnered with residents to develop the program.
If the full council OKs the plan next Tuesday, neighbors would be asked to call the offending bar before involving police, using a city-sponsored website that will list 24-hour contacts for each business.
The business owner would then turn down the volume or rearrange speakers; if the neighbors still aren't satisfied, they could ask the city to bring in a mediator. If mediation doesn't solve the dispute, police would then bring in decibel meters to investigate and could issue fines and revoke the bar's sound permits.
Lovenheim – whose patio-oriented Cornerstone Tavern had received complaints – said he's been trying out the approach.
"It's been remarkably effective," he said. "I have opened lines of communication with neighbors next to me … and I've been able to make arrangements to rectify most of those issues."
Police said Tuesday that they've received just one complaint about Cornerstone in the past six months.
To join the program, bar owners would need to get a special hospitality permit. That would allow them to leave their doors open while background music or a live acoustic performance plays inside. It doesn't allow for DJs or rock bands, and it requires noise to stop by 11 p.m. on weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends.
The hospitality permits would replace a contentious outdoor entertainment permitting process. Those permits required a contentious courtroom-like hearing before the city council.
"We feel it's damaging the relationship between residents and merchants," said Jim Belt, a Glenwood South resident who helped develop the new process.
The program wouldn't apply to the Fayetteville Street district, where Belt says residents were demanding that "everything stop at 11" p.m. Businesses there will still have to use the more complicated process to leave doors open while playing music.
City officials are still working on a plan for street noise – the talking and shouting that happens outside bar properties as they close at 2 a.m.
Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin said she supports the plan but expects police will still get calls about noise.
"Sometimes a person maybe shouldn't live downtown," she said. "Part of living downtown is that it is noisy."

Once again, nothing is happening.
The NHL and its players' association met with Federal mediators today in New Jersey in an attempt to end the lockout and start the season. And, as you might have guessed ...
"There's nothing new to report," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told reporters. "We don't have a conclusion to the process."
"I can't tell you that any progress was made," NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr said. "All I'm going to say is that there wasn't any change in position."
There are no further meetings scheduled.

Hacker's Delight
Boston, Pearson Education, Inc., 2003
$39.99 US (hardcover)
Hacker's Delight is a treasure trove for learning how to write efficient code. Over the course of 16 chapters and two appendices, fiendishly clever algorithms are illustrated through numerous examples coded in C and with graphics, along with the mathematical theory that supports the techniques.
The introduction describes an instruction set and execution efficiency model on which the rest of the work is based. This provides a useful means for assessing computational efficiency on most modern computers. Then the stage is set for a chapter about many little issues surrounding bit-level representation. Next, a chapter each is provided for algorithms involving power-of-two boundaries and arithmetic bounds.
Efficient techniques for bit-level manipulations, such as counting the bits in a word, are described in the next three chapters, and the next four chapters form an étude about some key arithmetic operators and functions, including efficient multiplication and two kinds of integer division. A chapter follows covering algorithms for computing key elementary functions on integers. This includes logarithms, exponentials, plus square and cube roots.
In some specialized applications, alternative representations for the meaning of the bits can offer an advantage. Unusual number system bases and Gray codes are described in detail in two chapters. Gray codes, for instance, are useful for enumerating states in finite-state machines where only one bit changes per state transition.
One chapter provides an algorithmic glimpse on a variant of the Peano curve called the Hilbert curve, which is an interesting related space-filling curve. The Hilbert curve is amenable to recursive algorithms and has some bit-level computational advantages for representing spatial distances in coordinates. These algorithms find usefulness in image processing, rendering and compression.
A nice summary of IEEE Std 754-1985 floating-point arithmetic includes a procedure for comparing floating-point numbers using only integer operations, formulas for computing the probability density function for the number of leading digits in select ranges of representable numbers and a handy table of miscellaneous number values represented in hex for both single- and double-precision floating point.
The last chapter provides algorithms for computing prime numbers, using Willan's and Wormell's Formulas. Primes have uses in hashing algorithms and cryptography, among other things.
Two appendices provide 4-bit arithmetic tables and a more detailed description of Newton's Method for function approximation. The arithmetic tables are a handy way to envision the work done in algorithmic steps that are a fraction of a typical word length. The bibliography also is rich, listing many original papers for arithmetic, number theory and the techniques embellished within the book.
You can employ these techniques to attain mastery of some important inner-loop code, while enjoying the beauty of arithmetic algorithms. The author is a veteran of IBM, and his programming tricks are born of experience across four decades, from the IBM 704 through the PowerPC. The book is a wonderful collection of techniques for any programmer looking to improve efficiency for key algorithms in areas such as compiler development, databases, arithmetic for image and signal processing, and code libraries.

Big J138 weeks agoDid you draw these?
yeah, the text though was not.
Seeing as this was added to this site in 2004, I think it's safe to say you most certainly did not draw this...
Somehow I screwed that link up. Take 2.
noelpenn138 weeks agoyikes, you didn't really need to call the dude out, cuz' i think most of us already know about this design.
I wouldn't have if he didnt say "yea I drew this"
yea i added it in 2004
this is an old drawing,. How about you guys give some comments about this as a tee and if you like it.

Eastworld said: yea i added it in 2004
You're not fooling anyone here and it is despicable to steal someone else's work and represent it as your own creation.
In your own words, you're "not that great at design, drawing and artist stuff" so just give it up.
What do you guys think of it as a shirt. I think there are alot of wrestling fans as well as comic fans.
MJ138 weeks agoJust to be 100% clear, we don't print designs people find on Google. We work with original artists who draw and create the art themselves.
do they print shirts with pop culture references and the likeness from copyrighted material which can be found on google?...alll the time. No artist has any ownership or asked permission from the copyright holders of the different pop culture references they use.

Eastworld said: No artist has any ownership or asked permission from the copyright holders of the different pop culture references they use.
You might want to read up on parody. It's legal and has a long history in American culture.
As an example, the artist who drew Hulk Hogan fighting the Hulk created a parody. But taking that person's art and selling it without their permission would be illegal and wrong.
Next time, come up with your own idea and try to draw it yourself :) It takes practice to get good at anything, so the sooner you start, the sooner you'll create something awesome.
Funny thing is I did come up with the idea myself. It was in my head to mash up those things.
noelpenn138 weeks agoNo dude, you can't just slap on Hulk-a-mania on there and call it your art, you need to actually made the drawing.
If you have an idea, that's fantastic, that's great, but you can't just take another dude's art and call it your own just because it was "in your head to mash up those things"

From Staff Reports
Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
The Corsicana City Council will once again get a chance to decide something about the request for an alcohol and drug counseling center in the Navarro Mall when the group meets in regular session at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
The item is also on the work session agenda, which will start at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The issue came to the council on Oct. 2, but failed to get a motion, so the council didn't vote on it at all. The request is for a specific use permit for the Lakes to open a counseling center.
Adding to the conflict back in October were petitions signed by businesses and residents around the former mall stating that they were worried about felons and drug-abusers hanging around the mall or around their businesses after hours.
Representatives for The Lakes didn't present a very clear picture of what is going to be involved at the Corsicana facility, which only confused matters further.
Also on the agenda is a request to amend the city's Dance Hall and Social Hall ordinance, and a request to abandon a short stretch of utility easement along South Highway 287.
