LISBON - A volunteer group which locally uses its time and efforts to help others found its efforts hampered recently by thieves.
The U.S. Search, Rescue and Recovery Corps had some of its items stored at a one-acre site and portable enclosure located near Lusk Lock Road and state Route 154. Sometime over Labor Day weekend, the group lost about $6,000 worth of equipment when someone broke into the back of the facility.
Ron Wisbith, regional director of SARR, said Sunday that after discovering the thefts and checking the area, they believe people on ATVs came into the site from the backside using the railroad tracks off Lusk Lock Road. Members of the team followed the tracks, locating some items which had been dropped and others which had been stashed along the railroad tracks.
"They just went through the place and left it a mess," Wisbith said.
And even though some items were found, there is still a list of items which have not been recovered. Some of those were new Miller plasma cutters, Mikita electric drills, welding torches, hoses and related welding items, SK socket sets and an electronic sound collecting device. Additionally, the thieves took a pneumatic hammer, pneumatic drill, carpenter tools, heavy duty wrench set and numerous other tools.
A reward is being offered for any information leading to the recovery of the stolen items and conviction of the person committing the theft. Confidential tips can be left at 412-303-5650.
Although other SARR units have had items taken in the past, Wisbith said this was the largest loss of property. The items taken were used primarily to repair or modify equipment the group uses in its efforts.
"These people are pretty brazen," Wisbith said, adding a man lives just across the street but they managed to sneak onto the property without anyone noticing.
Besides helping local law enforcement search for missing people, Wisbith said the organization is involved in the Child Abduction Response Teams regionally and is training to assist in looking back at cold cases for missing people who were never located. The organization was formally known as Rescue 40.

Oh, this girl. I love her so much!
As her hair "grows in" (it's so babyfine!) we keep getting it cut so it has a style and I love it short, but really am cutting it so that she can grow it long-er eventually. I also wonder what color it will end up? It really hasn't darkened as much as I thought it would, and it's so cool with her blue eyes and DARK eyelashes. They are like mascara, but with these light highlights at the roots. Of her eyelashes! I've studied every one of them.
She just got home from being at Grandma's all day. Our reunion in the afternoon is always the best.
Anyway, there's some things I've written...
So, have you heard of all the cool Google secret searches called "Easter eggs?" You MUST check these out. So fun and cool. Feel free to share, like, pass that one on. :)
Oh, and I got to talk with Jewel (the singer!) on the phone the other day. We talked about motherhood, babywearing, and holidays. It was really neat. Also she retweeted me twice on Twitter. Is that super dorky for me to say? Oh well, I don't care.
That's about it. I'm having a really good day, and it involved taking Gray to the dentist. Let me just say huge prayers are being answered and it feels really good being on this side of it all. THANKFUL!
I hope to finish up some legwarmers I'm knitting for Ivy for Small Style tomorrow. I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but am wishing for the best! Such is life, such is life!

Several years ago, the world witnessed the Arab Spring. Fueled by a fervor for change, mobilized and united by social media, people in some Arab countries took steps to change the government of their countries.
Well, call this the Shem Creek Spring. Mount Pleasant residents saw what in their view was a threat to the view and ambiance of their town's iconic place and scenery, and much like the citizens of those Arab countries, mobilized and united through social media to effect change. They showed up in droves at a town council meeting; they asked for background documents and up-to-date information on the issue of the proposed 55-foot-tall building/parking garage structure at the corner of Mill Street and Coleman Boulevard, and engaged with the town's elected leaders and staff to see what could be done. The Facebook group "Saving Shem Creek" quickly grew to 367 members, and then last week, the big breakthrough came. Another group, Protect Coleman Boulevard and Our Old Village Neighborhood, has over 600 members.
Late last week, Mayor Linda Page issued a statement directly to the group, and to the general public as well, saying "The developer now claims that construction of a parking facility is economically unfeasible." Her lengthy and thorough explanation, addressed to Saving Shem Creek leader Jim Owens, lays out the many issues involved with this site and the town's signed agreement with the would-be developer to provide public parking on the site. In a nutshell, the project as vaguely proposed fell off the table after the town's legal counsel advised that it was in fact subject to the new setback requirements (20 feet from all streets as opposed to 5 feet) and would not be exempt under a "civic use" allowance. There are more facets to this, but that is the gist of it.
Mayor Page pointed out that the developer has not submitted a final plan or design for the structure and that the developer may proceed with building something that meets the town's existing requirements. Her message states, "It is our understanding, and this is not confirmed, that if the developer cannot move forward with a parking facility/office building they will move forward with development of an office building."
We will never know what might have happened along the way if private citizens like Jim Owens, former Councilman Jimmy Bagwell and others hadn't mobilized and begun disseminating information to other concerned citizens.
No one should infer any bad intent on the part of any of our elected officials on this.
In fact, Jim Owens laid down the law in the Saving Shem Creek Facebook group that everyone must keep a civil tone. "We're interested in results, not rhetoric," he told me. Nevertheless, this episode in local governance proves once again the power of the people. Information began to flow. Elected officials began to take note, and as Ronald Reagan said, "Even if they didn't see the light, they at least felt the heat."
But to quote another great world leader, Winston Churchill, "Now, this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
Why? As Jim Owens told me, "Nothing is going to prevent anybody from going back at this time with a plan for a 55-foot-tall structure at the site. I don't think we're totally out of the woods yet."

A lucky bounce.
Gwinnett vs. South Carolina
Game 4When: Friday, 7:05 p.m.Where: North Charleston ColiseumSeries: Gwinnett leads, 3-0Tickets: 744-2248
In playoff hockey it can mean the difference between victory or defeat. That was certainly the case for the South Carolina Stingrays on Wednesday night.
Gwinnett forward Ryan Ginand scored a goal and added an assist and Louis Domingue stopped 28 shots to lead the Gladiators past South Carolina, 3-1, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series before a crowd of 1,396 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
With the victory, the Gladiators grabbed a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Stingrays face elimination Friday night in Game 4 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
With the score tied at 1-1 early in the third period, the puck squirted out to the blue line and onto the stick of Gwinnett defenseman Justin Weller.
Weller took a slapshot that bounced off of not one, but two Stingrays defenders and past a helpless Ryan Zapolski for what turned out to be the game-winning goal.
"We got some bounces, but I think sometimes you kind of build those up for the work you put into it," Gwinnett captain Andy Brandt said. "We got a lucky bounce with (Weller's) goal, but I think you get rewarded for the hard work you put into it. We'll certainly take it. It's what happens in the playoffs."
The Stingrays were totally outplayed in the first period as they were outshot, 16-3, and fell behind 1-0 on Evan Bloodoff's power play goal for the Gladiators.
Between periods, Stingrays coach Spencer Carbery expressed his displeasure with the Rays' effort in the locker room.
"It was very disappointing because I shouldn't have to go in there between periods and say the things I said in April," Carbery said. "If you can't get up for a home playoff game, then maybe you need to think about not being a pro hockey player."
The second period was all South Carolina as the Stingrays outworked and outhustled the Gladiators in all three zones.
"We knew they'd come out and answer us in the second period," said Gwinnett coach John Wroblewski. "That team has a lot of pride. We didn't do a good job of matching their energy level."
The Stingrays tied the game at 1-1 on Scooter Vaughan's power play goal midway through the second period.
The third period was nearly even as both teams had quality scoring chances. Twice the Stingrays were on the verge of scoring — once from Jay Silvia and later from Robbie Dee – only to have the puck bounce the wrong way.
Ginand got an empty-net goal with less than a minute to play.
Gwinnett 1 0 2—3
Stingrays 0 1 0—1
First Period: 1. G, Bloodoff 2 (Ginand, Pierro-Zabotel), 9:24 (PP). Penalties: Boyd, SC (hooking), 3:19; Pierro-Zabotel, G (tripping), 4:24; Langkow, SC (high-sticking - double), 7:53; Bowers, G (high-sticking), 9:31.
Second Period: 2. SC, Vaughan 1 (Dee, Foam), 12:00 (PP). Penalties: Monardo, G (high-sticking - double), 10:07.
Third Period: 3. G, Weller 1 (Pierro-Zabotel, Ginand), 4:51. 4. G, Ginand 2 (unassisted) 19:31 (PP EN). Penalties: Gaul, SC (boarding), 0:22; Monardo, G (tripping), 13:30; Fienhage, G (unsportsmanlike conduct), 15:37; Dee, SC (unsportsmanlike conduct), 15:37; Cherniwchan, SC (high-sticking), 17:36.
Shots on Goal: Stingrays 3-18-8-29; Gwinnett: 16-9-9-34. Penalties: Stingrays 6-12; Gwinnett 6-12. Power Play: Stingrays 1 for 5; Gwinnett 2 for 5. Goalies: Stingrays – Ryan Zapolski (0-3) 33 shots, 31 saves. Gwinnett – Louis Dominque (3-0) 10 shots, 6 saves. A: 1,396.

Yakupov was quoted saying this:
"I understand that I will have to keep a cool head and ignore provocation, especially against the Canadians. These guys play dirty. We got used to that, we played a few games in North America, so our team is ready," he says.
And Cherry's response via Twitter:
"I see where Nail Yakupov said Canadian hockey players are dirty," Cherry tweeted Wednesday. "Let me see... We let him take a Canadian kids (sic) spot in the Canadian Hockey League, let him learn his hockey in our program, treat him royally, give him great coaching so he can go number one overall and he calls us Dirty."
Cherry really likes those Ruskies...LOL

CHARLESTON - The Bears are out to defend their title.
The Oak Glen volleyball team will begin its quest of repeating as state champions on Friday at the West Virginia Class AA state tournament. The Bears are scheduled to begin play at 8:30 a.m. against James Monroe at the Charleston Civic Center.
In 2011, Oak Glen defeated Ritchie County in the state title match. It was the fourth state championship for head coach Ethel Riser who is in her 32nd season with the Bears.

"Every time is different," the veteran coach said. "There's a new excitement with each group of new kids. I want to share those feelings and experiences I've had over the years with each new group.
"The best part about the whole thing is just being there with the kids and seeing the excitement in their eyes."
The Bears are well prepared for the difficult task ahead of them.
Every season, Riser creates the team's schedule with one word in mind - challenging. Oak Glen has compiled an impressive 37-6 record on the year which is even more amazing when the level of competition is scrutinized.
"We're ready for anybody," Riser said. "We've played more (Class) AAA schools than probably all the others down there combined.
"It's prepared us for this moment. You only get better by playing the tougher teams. I've always tried to fill the schedule with a variety of schools and tournaments."
If Oak Glen gets past James Monroe in the opener, it will face the winner of Frankfort-Nicholas County on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The others schools filling out the talented field vying for a spot in the title game scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday include Ritchie County, Pikeview, Herbert Hoover and Philip Barbour.
Oak Glen appears primed to capture the school's fifth state title. The Bears lost only one player to graduation from last year's championship squad. The team returns seven letter winners including seniors Sydney Kell, Abby Tice, Kaitlyn Smith and Lacee Porter who won first team all-state honors in 2011.
The task will not be an easy one though, according to Riser.
"Defending a title is much harder," she said. "Everyone's out to get you. It's been that way all year. But, that's helped us get ready for this opportunity. We're just going to go out and play as hard as we can."
Riser said she believes this year's team has a unique bond that has proven to be their source of strength.
"The best part about this team is that it is a team," she said. "We don't have any "I" players. It takes a total team effort and that's what they bring. It's not just one person. They really know how to work together."
While every state title is special, Riser said winning the fifth of her career would be quite an accomplishment.
"I'm looking for one for the thumb," she said. "It would be a thumbs up for everyone. If we get it, it would mean we've accomplished a lot together."
NOTES: Oak Glen won the regional title this year on Nov. 3 by defeating Ritchie County, 25-20, 25-10, 25-21, at East Fairmont High School. The team will be departing from Oak Glen High School on Thursday at 8 a.m. They will hold a practice at Charleston Catholic High School on Thursday afternoon before heading to Charleston where they will be staying at the Embassy Suites. Oak Glen's four state titles were won in 2011, 2008, 1999 and 1998.

Los Angeles California International Trade Technical Schools
If you're searching for International Trade schools and colleges in Los Angeles, California then you're in luck! The schools below offer degree options and courses in the International Trade field of study. Whether you're interested in online training or a classroom experience, we've listed some of the best Los Angeles International Trade schools in the state of California.
With a 2012 reported population of 3,857,799 people, Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States and the largest city in California. This figure represents a 2.7 population increase since the 2000 census.
The city is fairly evenly split between genders with 50.2 percent of the population comprising of females and 49.8 percent males. The name Los Angeles was derived from the Spanish term little angels. Los Angeles consists of 468.7 square miles . In 2010, there were approximately 8,092 people for every square mile of land in the city.
Los Angeles DemographicsIn 2009, the average household in Los Angeles reported a median income of $48,617. This is just over $10,000 less than the average income of all other California households combined. The estimated income per resident in 2009 was $26,069.
A 2011 report by City Data lists 34.1 as the median age of residents of Los Angeles. This is more than a decade younger than the statewide average of 45.6 years old. The younger population may account somewhat for the lower levels of reported income.

Watch a college football coaches show on Sundays and you take your chances.
Before he came to Clemson, Ken Hatfield on his Arkansas show tried to make sense of a 51-7 loss to Miami. "Jesus wept," Hatfield said.
Tommy West, the man who replaced Hatfield at Clemson, had a win or lose routine: "Running backs, I want you to run through those lines like a Ford Mustang! Defense, I want you to break through their line like a Ford F-150 pickup!"
The late, former South Carolina coach Joe Morrison was the most boring.
"Nice throw by Todd (Ellis). Nice catch by Sterling (Sharpe)," he would say, and not much else.
And Steve Spurrier rambled, more or less, last Sunday. The show featuring USC-Central Florida highlights was "jerked," he said, because "I was way too negative."
Of course, bootleg copies made for a social media circus.
Most coaches are exhausted when they tape these shows either soon after games or in wee hours upon returning home from road trips. The whole concept, above all, is a way for schools to funnel non-base salary cash into fat contracts.
It's not like the old days before DVR tech when coaches shows were your highlight film oasis. In Alabama in the early 1960s, "The Bear Bryant Show" was appointment viewing. Bear munched on Golden Flakes potato chips and analyzed.
"I don't normally try to identify the other team's players," he said during a 1961 show after an Auburn game, "because I have enough trouble … I miss ours about half the time. But they all play well so it really doesn't make a great deal of difference."
By the way, Warren Peper hosts our weekly video version of Pigskin Picks. So far, we haven't had to jerk a show.
Kentucky at South Carolina
Look for the Gamecocks to finish strong or get yelled at — by coaches and fans — while trying.
Gene Sapakoff pick: South Carolina, 42-13
Warren Peper pick: South Carolina, 35-12
Clemson at Syracuse
Just another division game inside a basketball building between Cooperstown and Niagara Falls.
Sapakoff pick: Clemson, 34-17
Peper pick: Clemson, 31-20
Appalachian State at The Citadel
I have picked The Citadel to win every game this season and, together, we have gone 1-4. Sapakoff pick: The Citadel, 27-24
Peper pick: The Citadel, 20-17
North Greenville at CSU
Does CSU stand for Charleston Southern University? Or Cinderella Season Unleashed? In this chapter, the Bucs win one for injured quarterback Malcolm Dixon.
Sapakoff pick: CSU, 35-18
Peper pick: CSU, 24-21
S.C. State vs. N.C. A&T
S.C. State reminds fans to wear garnet to today's Atlanta Football Classic at the Georgia Dome. Dondre Lewis-Freeman wore Hampton out last week with a career-high 140 yards on 18 carries in a 30-6 win.
Sapakoff pick: S.C. State, 35-14
Peper pick: S.C. State, 31-24
Georgia at Tennessee
Spurrier said he "really thought LSU would beat (Georgia)." But now we know Aaron Murray can win big games.
Sapakoff pick: Georgia, 35-14
Peper pick: Georgia, 30-20
UNC at Virginia Tech
Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster is having one of his best seasons (No. 1 in the ACC in total defense including 206 yards against Alabama).
Sapakoff pick: Virginia Tech, 28-24
Peper pick: Virginia Tech, 27-14
Georgia Tech at Miami
Stephen Morris called South Florida a "dirty team" for twisting his ankle during Miami's 49-21 victory last week. But the Hurricanes' quarterback looks good to go against Georgia Tech.
Sapakoff pick: Miami, 31-28
Peper pick: Miami, 27-21
N.C. State at Wake Forest
The Deacons went 2-for-14 on third down in last week's 56-7 loss at Clemson.
Sapakoff pick: N.C. State, 28-17
Peper pick: N.C. State, 30-17
Ohio State at Northwestern
An early edition of "The Pat Fitzgerald Show" this season featured a "special inside look" at Northwestern players training with Navy SEALS. No need to jerk that one.
Sapakoff pick: Ohio State, 24-17
Peper pick: Ohio State, 27-21
Last week: Gene Sapakoff 7-3, Warren Peper 7-3
Season: Peper 37-13, Sapakoff 36-14

COLUMBIA South Carolinas historically high-powered gambling industry has so far largely kept its powder dry as some state senators move to close a perceived loophole in the states video poker ban.
By the numbers
1,064: Video gaming machines seized by the State Law Enforcement Division since January 201230-40: Rulings on video gaming machines by magistrate court judges won by the S.C. Attorney Generals Office in 20121: Ruling by a magistrate court judge on a video gaming machine lost by the S.C. Attorney Generals Office in 201210: Number of machine seizure cases currently on appeal at circuit court levelNote: The S.C. Attorney Generals Office gets involved in cases when there is a request for a hearing by a machine owner who has had one or more machines seized by law enforcement.Sources: SLED, S.C. Attorney Generals Office
But just as last year when a similar proposal stalled out in the Senate, the new measure by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Larry Martin faces a tough road ahead, even with the industry mostly staying on the sidelines for the time being.
A Senate Judiciary subcommittee cleared Martins bill last week following a hearing, and the proposal is set to be taken up by the full committee when the new legislative session opens on Tuesday.
During the last two years, video gaming has made a big comeback in the Palmetto State, even after video poker was banned by the state Supreme Court in 1999.
We just need to address it before it gets completely out of hand, said Martin, a Pickens Republican.
Machine operators believe they have found an exemption in the ban through the introduction of sweepstakes machines. The machines allow users to play computerized poker, slots and other games, but with pre-determined odds of winning a prize redeemable for cash. Supporters contend the new machines often found in convenience stores and strip malls are really no different than sweepstakes such as the Monopoly game offered at McDonalds. The State Law Enforcement Division and S.C. Attorney Generals office disagree, saying the machines do not fall under any loophole.
Even with SLED conducting raids across the state to seize machines and state lawyers working courtrooms (the legality of seized machines must be decided by judges on a case-by-case basis), sweepstakes rooms have proliferated.
The financial incentive is strong.
SLED Chief Mark Keel said operators can make $1,000 to $5,000 per machine each day. As long as theres so much money in this business as there is, theyre going to look for another way, he said. I promise you that the day (the ban came down in 2000), they started looking for a loophole that they could drive a truck through.
State Democratic Sens. Robert Ford of Charleston and Brad Hutto of Orangeburg both oppose Martins bill and think the state should move to regulate and capture revenue from video gambling.
Ford made bringing back video poker the centerpiece of his unsuccessful 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
He said statewide regulation of video gambling is the states only feasible, long-term option. Ford thinks even if Martins bill or another similar proposal filed in the state House passes, it wont hold up in court. The video gambling industry is too adaptive to be stopped, Ford said, and lawmakers will have to file new bills each year to try to match wits with an industry adept at finding its way around regulations.
Theres nothing you can do to keep up with the law to stop it, Ford said.
Hutto, who described efforts by state government to outlaw sweepstakes machines as paternalistic, said he will place a minority report on Martins bill when it reaches the Judiciary Committee.
That scenario would make it much more difficult for the measure to pass even if it clears the committee.
Both Hutto and Ford have received campaign contributions from the gaming industry, according to state records.
South Carolinas once-booming video poker industry has a history of flexing its political muscle, most notably throwing millions behind a successful effort in the late 1990s to unseat former GOP Gov. David Beasley. Beasley had tried to ban video poker before the state Supreme Court decision.
Whether the gaming industry will throw its weight around this year remains to be seen. Reggie Lloyd, an attorney who was Keels predecessor at SLED, continues to represent sweepstakes operators, along with a small cadre of other state attorneys. Former Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, who lobbied for a Georgia sweepstakes machine manufacturer during last years legislative session, declined to comment on whether he will be representing manufacturers this year.
The initial registration period for lobbyists to sign up with the State Ethics Commission is still under way, so a clear picture of whos representing the industry isnt yet available. Still, the industry could add more lobbying power at any time during the five-month-long session.
And Martin concedes that even if his bill passes, it likely wont be the final word on the machines. I think it will eventually play itself out in a case that will get to the Supreme Court, he said.

I'm having trouble finding the stillness. I am surviving on scraps. I grasp pieces when I pick up the camera, in the too few chances I have to sit down to write.
In the latte I can't afford but I snuck out to get anyway this morning.
Waking at four a.m. because that might be the only quiet I get for another twenty-four hours. Or more. And still my soundtrack is the soft hum of the baby monitor.
And what's left in the crumbs of my stolen moments I'm reminded that I can nurse a baby, write a lunch money check, sign a field trip form, find a favorite shirt (right there! in the drawer where I said it was!), fill cups of orange juice, and practice spelling words all at the same time.
But I can't lead myself to the still waters.

MARTINSBURG - When volunteers from South Berkeley Baptist Church arrived at Hospice of the Panhandle to deliver cookies, it took a rolling cart to transfer them all.
Monday, the multipurpose room of the Hospice of the Panhandle's Martinsburg location was transformed into a sweet-smelling storage facility as the organization began its annual Valentine's Day tradition of collecting cookies as a gesture of appreciation for professionals in the community who contribute to Hospice.
Eighty-seven dozen cookies were baked for Hospice this year by South Berkeley Baptist Church. Thelma Jenkins and Barbara Sims of South Berkeley Baptist were among volunteers from multiple local churches and organizations who maintained a steady stream of deliveries to Hospice.

Thelma Jenkins left, and Barbara Sims, volunteers from South Berkeley Baptist Church, unload 87 dozen cookies donated to Hospice of the Panhandle for the organization's annual Valentine's Day Cookie Project.
Freda, who has volunteerd for Hospice of the Panhandle's annual Valentine's Day Cookie Project, selects cookies to add to one of 500 boxes that will eventually be delivered to local professionals who have contributed to Hospice.
Monday, the multipurpose room of the Hospice of the Panhandle's Martinsburg location was transformed into a sweet-smelling storage facility as the organization began its annual Valentine's Day tradition of collecting cookies as a gesture of appreciation for professionals in the community who contribute to Hospice.
Today and Wednesday, doctors, social workers, pharmacists, funeral directors and others who assist Hospice will receive a box of homemade cookies as Hospice's way of thanking the individuals who assist the organization.
For more than 20 years, community and Hospice volunteers have baked, packaged and delivered more than 500 boxes of cookies throughout the Eastern Panhandle, including Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan and Hampshire counties.
"The program's definitely grown over time. The main thing is it's just a really nice way to say thank you to people that help others get access to Hospice," said Karla Troppman, marketing coordinator for Hospice of the Panhandle.
Over three days, volunteers will work at the three Hospice locations in Berkeley, Morgan and Hampshire counties, to prepare the cookie bundles for delivery. By midday Monday, the Berkeley County location had already accumulated more than 560 dozen cookies to be boxed for delivery.
"It's overwhelming the amount of cookies that we have," Troopman said, describing how, by today, cookies will adorn every inch of table space and the majority of the floor. "We always have staff that are willing to taste test."
Both Troopman and Tricia Lawrence, volunteer coordinator for Hospice, acknowledged the tremendous amount of volunteer work expended on the Valentine's Day Cookie project - from baking and boxing the cookies to delivering them over four counties.
"I'm never short of being amazed of the things volunteers do for our organization," Lawrence said. "We have about 200 volunteers, and they are incredible, each one of them."
According to Lawrence, the most popular cookie donated is chocolate chip.

Colombo Marsala Fine Sweet
Sku: 1018458
3 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
Marsala is a unique wine made only in Western Sicily. The restricted legal area of production is the territory in the province of Trapani where the Marsala town is located. Catarratto, Grillo and Inzolia grapes are meticulously brought together and aged in oak casks to give the wine its warm amber color, an alluring bouquet and the full-bodied taste that is famous worldwide.
The period of aging in oak is a minimum of one year by law but Colombo wines are aged longer. Marsala is enjoyed as an apertif, a dessert wine or just as a "leisure wine. Used also by gourmet chefs, Marsala is the perfect wine ingredient in a variety of recipes. As with all of Italys finest wines,
Marsala is protected by Controlled Denomination of Origin (D.O.C.).
The result of this operation is called "Mistella." "Mistella" is the base to make Marsala.
Moreover, Marsala Sweet and Dry have an addition of a small quantity of "cooked must," in order to get the particular flavor of fine Marsala.
The fortified wine so made, is put in wood barrels for at least 8 months for aging. The wine is aged additionally in bottle for four months for a total of a year's aging time. The minimum degree of alcohol by volume must be 17°.
The process used to make Colombo Marsala, is a process oriented to obtain the maximum quality. Firstly, an accurate selection of the best grapes of the harvest is made for starting with the best base wines. This is a very important step, because all the other following steps, are conditioned by the quality of these base wines.
For Colombo, "Mistella" is made once per year, with the fresh must, during the vintage time. This "Mistella" accurately made for Colombo, gives a very high level of quality to the product and is a step that many less expensive Marsalas skip.
Another important step is the preparation of the "cooked must" to give the particular touch to the flavor of Marsala Dry and Sweet. Colombo is the unique producer of "cooked must" made by the traditional (and expensive) system. It is made using a copper pot, heated by log-fire. This old process gives Colombo's "cooked must" a special and unique flavor.
After blending, Colombo Marsala is put in Slavonia Oak Barrels for aging for at least a year. Into the Colombo Marsala blend, there is a part of very old Marsala that enriches the flavor of the wine.
Please note, moreover, that Colombo Marsala Fine DOC has 18° of alcohol
instead 17° of alcohol. The strength 18° is the same strength of a Superior Marsala.
Colombo Marsala is made with the utmost care at every step -- incorporating analytical inspections and tastings to ensure the highest quality.

SEM for longitudinal data

Structural Equation Modeling

Dear Dr. Muthén,
Dear Dr. Muthén,
I've just found out about this forum. I've read 2-3 threads, and I must say I'm impressed by the level of service you provide to the community. My hat off to you.
I have a question. But before, a few observations:
1. Longitudinal data sets are hierarchical (observations nested within subjects).
2. Therefore, in longitudinal data sets, observations are not independent.
3. SEM treats all observations as independent.
4. Therefore, SEM is not appropriate for longitudinal data.
My questions:
a. Is this reasoning correct?
b. If yes, are multilevel SEM the solution?
c. If no, do I need to take special measures when specifying my models to account for longitudinal data?
Thanks so much!

a. No.
c. Taking a multivariate approach to growth modeling, with data in the wide format where each time point is represented by one variable, takes into account the non-independence of observations due to repeated measures.

Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 18, 2011 - 2:58 pm
If you have sampled family members from a random set of families, generally one would use multilevel modeling with family as the cluster variable. If there are not too many family members, one could take a multivariate approach as described in:
Khoo, S.T. & Muth�n, B. (2000). Longitudinal data on families: Growth modeling alternatives. Multivariate Applications in Substance use Research, J. Rose, L. Chassin, C. Presson & J. Sherman (eds.), Hillsdale, N.J.: Erlbaum, pp. 43-78.

I have three time point measurment of biomarkers about Illness progression.
does it make sense to you using these three measurements as indicators of a latent dimension? Namely, let's say I have three assessements of viral load (baseline, time 1 and time 2), may I consider them indicators of a latent dimension "viral load change over the time"?
if so, can you suggest papers where this approach has been adopted?
Thank you very much,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, April 19, 2013 - 5:05 pm
If you have a notion of illness progression, perhaps a growth model would be suitable. That explores the individual variation in both the level and the change over time. See our Topic 3 handout and video on our website.
A growth model is a specific kind of a latent variable model.

Antique & Art Exchange
San Francisco's Antique & Art Exchange was founded in 1995 by Keith Dieterich and Howard Settle. The shop was an immediate success, promptly credited by design legend Tony Hail in a Town & Country article as having "practically nothing ugly." Today its clientele boasts heads of state, politicians, billionaires, writers, artists, celebs, dealers, and (naturally) designers, all of whom flock to the Design District showroom to shop for antiquities, modern pieces, and everything in between.

ALBANY – The Assembly on Thursday night gave final passage to a $141.3 billion state budget.
The fiscal plan would fund a stadium rehabilitation project for the Buffalo Bills, keep aid to localities flat, sharply cut programs for developmentally disabled people, raise the minimum wage and authorize more than $2 billion in tax breaks over five years for the film and television industry doing work in New York.
The new fiscal plan also cuts funding for a variety of public health programs, suspends driver's licenses of people who owe the state at least $10,000 in back taxes and gives $350 checks to taxpayers with children and household incomes of between $40,000 and $300,000 – a check that will first be delivered in the fall of 2014 just prior to election day for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and lawmakers.
The Assembly finished passage of the budget shortly before midnight Thursday. This marks the third straight year the budget was adopted by the April 1 start of the new fiscal year.
But while timeliness was being hailed by Cuomo and lawmakers, fiscal watchdogs raised warning flags about a budget they say has misplaced priorities.
"This is not the new New York. This is the old New York," said Assemblyman Tony Jordan, a Washington County Republican who railed against a budget that gives another $420 million in tax breaks in the coming year to the film and television industry, which is half of all the new business tax cuts approved in the 2013 budget.
E.J. McMahon, director of the Empire Center for New York State Policy, a conservative think tank, said there is a sharp rise in raids of state authority funds to help fund the budget's general fund, a $1 billion net increase in borrowing, a $2 billion net tax increase over the next five years, a pension borrowing plan for localities that he says merely pushes off current costs to future taxpayers and the "bald-face political move" of giving the $350 tax rebate checks during the fall 2014 elections.
He termed as "pretty indefensible'' the $54 million in state funds to help renovate the Buffalo Bills stadium to keep them in Western New York – a funding pot that has gained increasing criticism statewide as the budget was coming together over the past couple weeks.
The Cuomo administration dismissed the criticisms and said when the next two years are looked at – instead of the longer term outlook taken by watchdogs – there will be a net decrease in overall taxes of $2 billion.
The administration also has been touting that achieving another on-time budget helps to erase images of Albany as the center of dysfunction.
But the budget has been criticized by a number of groups that have been loyal to Cuomo in his first two years, notably the business community.
They say the budget's failure to end a surcharge as scheduled – instead of just phasing it out over the next three years – will drive up the electricity bills of businesses and consumers across the state.
In New York City, a business group is sharply critical of Cuomo agreeing to extend a tax on millionaires – a tax that was to have expired before Cuomo broke a campaign promise by raising it in December 2011.
That tax is worth $2 billion a year to Albany. And they say the three-stage minimum wage hike from $7.15 to $9 by January 2016 will kill jobs.
"I think it's great we did the minimum wage. It helps so many people," countered Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat.
But the budget also will help cover the costs of the wage hike for businesses. The state will pay 75 cents per hour per eligible employee when the wage goes to $8 in January and then up to $1.35 per hour per employee by 2016 for firms paying the minimum wage to workers between the age of 16 and 19 who are students. Groups on both the left and right have sharply criticized the provision as a wasteful giveaway that could end the jobs of minimum wage earners who are older than 19.
The more than $140 billion budget includes a $1 billion increase for the state's public schools, taking the total state education aid pot to $20.8 billion. It includes $27 million for a new gun registration database as part of January's new gun-control law and maintains funding for about a dozen cities, including Buffalo, for a youth employment program.
The State Senate passed its final budget bill just before sunrise Wednesday.
The Assembly sought to squeeze its work into one day Thursday during and around Christian and Jewish holidays.

Maria & Steve~ Chinese and Filipino Family Tradition
Maria and Steve met two years ago while she was working as a Captain of the Air Force. She was hired as a financial analyst for Binary Corporation where she was sent to the Department of the Army to set up a database of military personnel. Steve, who worked for the Army as an IT Computer Specialist helped Maria on a number of occasions to develop presentations, and he assisted her whenever there was a computer glitch. They were engaged one year ago. Steve followed Maria to Positano Italy to propose. By the way, this couple brought lots of tradition and culture to their wedding with a Chinese tea ceremony. This tradition denotes respect for the family, particularly the elders. The bride and groom served tea and sweets to the immediate family. Maria looked stunning in her red Chinese dress. Later she changed into her traditional wedding gown. During the cocktail hour, there was a traditional Lion Dance to bring luck and good fortune to the Bride and groom. Check them out!
The Lucky Lions were outstanding and they can be contacted through the following email adress:
This lucky couple is going to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon.

Stormwater Evangelists
The Low Impact Development Center seeks out projects that
will most widely and effectively spread the use of LID by landscape architects
and others.
By Linda McIntyre
The Low Impact Development Center (LIDC) in Beltsville,
Maryland, was a pioneer in developing the sustainable techniques that keep
stormwater on site, infiltrate it in place, and use any excess for irrigation
or aesthetic features. It has steadily built up a portfolio of more than 200
projects that its staff has designed or on which they have acted as consultants
or contractors. But the projects are not just an end in themselves—the center's
true aim is to change the built environment, from urban infrastructure to
greenfield development to retail construction, and end reliance on end-of-pipe
solutions and centralized controls.
Despite these lofty goals, the center flies under the radar
in many respects. It engages in no traditional marketing or advertising,
instead working with an established network of like-minded partners and relying
on word of mouth and project experience, documented on the web site, to bring
in new business. "You don't always see or recognize our name on stuff," says
landscape architect, engineer, and planner Neil Weinstein, the LIDC's executive
director. "We're not so good at promoting ourselves, probably because we're too
Comprising only seven staff, the LIDC is known to many
stormwater mavens across the nation as a leading source of expertise and
information accumulated by working with a wide range of partners, from federal,
state, and local government agencies to nonprofit environmental groups to
private firms. "We want to work with groups and institutions to incorporate
[LID] into their standard operations," says Weinstein. "So we've worked on a
lot of pilot projects, where we learned how to construct things and the
benefits of different approaches." These aren't intended as one-off efforts:
The projects themselves, by working well, contributing data, and looking good,
sell the techniques, and the center's partners use their experience in other
projects in their day-to-day practices.
It's not your standard design or multidisciplinary firm. But
the small and nimble operation, comprising engineers and scientists as well as
landscape architects, could serve as a model for others interested in
establishing a practice able to adapt to a variety of project types and sizes.
More traditional landscape architects can also draw on the center's
experience—the LIDC has made a lot of user-friendly information, in the form of
design templates and manuals, technical specifications, and analyses, available
free of charge on its web site.

Am also interested in Men's 200m semi-finals. But I don't think I can get up at 4am again... Lack of sleep every night gradually kills me...I hate the Olympics in Europe for that matter.

And she won 21.88 finally a gold medal, I'm so happy for her. No medal for Campell-Brown. Silver Fraser-Pryce, bronze Jeter.
Lots of medals for USA. Is it true that track&field is a every 4th year sport in US? I can't believe that with so many stars. Over here t&f is big with Euros and Worlds, indoors and outdoors and Diamonds league every year.
Now another gold medal for US: Brittney Reese 7.12
Truly an unforgettable night, the world rejoiced as the history is made. How lucky am I to say 'I was there when it happened'.
It was such fun to watch.
I think it's true that a lot of people don't pay attention to track and field in the U.S., which is a pity. It's always a delightful part of the Olympic experience for me, and I wish more of it were televised. We do have some big events through the year, such as the Millrose Games, and there are centers of activity such as Eugene, Oregon. One that never fails to amaze me is the 110-meter hurdles. You watch a race, and it's almost like those fast-action silent movies--how do the athletes' legs move that quickly between the hurdles?! It was so amazing to see them dart around the track last night.
I have just checked the results of Men's 4x400m Relay (Round1). only to find out that South Africa did not finish...
What happened to South Africa? I still have a mixed feeling on Oscar Pistorius. But that feeling aside, I admit that I kind of look forward to seeing him at the relay final.
I think they were moved on because someone got fouled. But I'm not sure.
It says South Africa and Kenya had a collision. Then Kenya did continue but S Africa could not. Idk where it happened though...
When I watched Round 2 live, I realized that in 4x400m relay, there is a point of the second runner's turn where they become 'lane-free'. It was so scary just to see it! And my guess is that was where this collision happened, maybe? Hope no one was hurt by the collision.
They did apparently allow South Africa to continue, or at least they did the last I heard.
Usain Bolt. What more needs to be said?
I can't explain my feeling well. Don't get me wrong, but I just have to wonder whether they would have allowed it if not for South Africa and/or if not with Oscar...
Anyway, I hope no such an awful collision again, and good luck to all 9 teams at the 4x400m relay final tonight!
Edited to add:
I am crossing my fingers Japan will make the 4x100m Relay final (though it seems unlikey...a girl can dream ). Best of luck to them at the semi-finals tonight!

I know that a lot of people have mixed feelings about Pistorius. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to think about this. It's new, and everyone has the right to think about it and formulate a reaction. For myself, I'm pleased at the situation, especially after observing how it's playing out. But I suspect that if the prosthetics change, the IOC will revise its rules. I think Pistorius with his current prosthetics has no extra advantage, and in fact has some disadvantages.
One notable one: it's pretty evident to me that someone with his "blade" legs couldn't run in any race where the runners cluster together. I don't know if any of you remembers the collision between Mary Decker and Zola Budd in the 3000 meter race in 1984. (I just looked up the distance to be sure.) That is a race where the runners compete in a group, not in lanes, and Zola (coincidentally South African) was so unused to running in a cluster (because she was so much faster than any of her competitors in South Africa) that she somehow tangled herself up with Mary Decker, who fell and was too injured to get up. (Decker was famously injury-prone--they said she was made of glass from the knees down.) Imagine Oscar in a tight cluster like that. It would be even odds whether he injured anyone else or got upended himself.
Another thought: Oscar is unusual among amputees in that both legs are symmetrically surgically modified. Most double amputees result from accidents or battle wounds and are at different points on each leg, which makes for less precise muscle control. Also, he has both knees. So there are few other amputees at this stage of the world's technological development who could reach his level of proficiency. So I doubt that the floodgates will open for applicants any time soon. It's possible that if this happens, they will each be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Whatever the current situation, I'm sure any change in the technology will warrant a re-evaluation of the rules for entry into the Olympics. If the IOC doesn't do something, the track and field federation surely will. I mean, look how fast the ISU re-evaluated the value of the quad jump after Lysacek won the gold at Vancouver without a quad.

We left my in-laws' house after an early Easter celebration. My wonderful Mother-in-law cooked a perfect meal and my children would only eat bread and large knifings of butter. And then cried for ice cream and popsicles.
Every single time we go over there, they do not eat. They just whine and beg to get down and when's dessert? and whine whine whine.
Do they ever eat?
Yes- at home! at restaurants! at school! at my parents' house! THEY EAT! I PROMISE YOU.
But here, where we would like to appear somewhat like good parents? As they scuffle and hit each other at the nice dining table? With cloth napkins and gold napkin rings. They turn into little people I do not know and my heart goes into a panic that OH MY GOSH WHAT IF THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE REALLY LIKE?
What if these ARE the children I've created. What if this IS the behavior that I've instilled in them with my awesome parenting skillz? What if this is IT?
What if there are no take-backs?
We get home, arms full of leftovers, and at dinner time the kids eat. They eat the very things they refused to eat at Grandma and Grandpa's.
They sit and talk respectfully to each other. There is no whining here. They are happy! And I almost grab my Flip as proof to show the in-laws.
Well, Gray still stomps and pouts and demands A FORK! for his ice cream instead of a spoon.
(Of course I rewarded their awful actions today with ice cream- what kind of Mother do you think I am?)
*Nervous laugh*Please don't answer that.
I beat the world 8 castle of Super Mario Bros. on the DS for them and earned the title of Bestest Mommy and Mario Player Ever. They made Ivy laugh. We talked about Easter and what it means...
In their own words:
Like how I wasn't good at Grandma's today? And wanted that chocolate popsicle?
Like how I cried? And we were a little bad?
God gave his only son for us, because we aren't good sometimes. He's the only perfect one. We aren't.
My heart beats fast and I am so proud of these children. They aren't perfect. And neither am I.

Just okay Review by Tara
Price Value Quality
I tried Rockin' Green because it's so hyped up... but wasn't blown away by it. It works just fine, but in comparison to many other cloth diaper-friendly detergents out there, this is over-priced. The scents are yummy though. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Must have for cloth diapers Review by SK
Price Value Quality
I've tried quite a few brands of detergent that are cloth diaper friendly, and I ended up going back to Rock N' Green because it really works the best. Yes, it is expensive, and other detergents work too, but Rock N' Green is by far the most effective cloth diaper detergent.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I have an HE machine, and I always pre-wash my diapers in cold water. Then I put 2 TBSP of rock n' green in, let the machine fill with hot water, pause the machine to let the diapers soak for an hour, then re-start the machine using the heavy wash setting, hot wash/cold rinse with an extra rinse cycle. My diapers always come out clean and fresh!

Super detergent Review by Cassandra
Price Value Quality
This is a great detergent for cloth diapers, and everything else. I never have to put on an extra rinse to get the detergent rinsed out of the laundry. The scents are nice, but don't go on your laundry, which is great for sensitive skin. I use 1 1/2 tbsp per load in an HE machine. (Posted on 1/2/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
