With all the political noise coming out of Washington, Celine McCoy of Goose Creek says she lost the last bit of faith in government "about two years ago."
We asked, you answered
With $85 billion in domestic and military cuts looming over the nation, The Post and Courier asked Facebook users Thursday whether their faith in government has eroded and whether the cuts are necessary.Craig Kellstrom: Our Government no longer serves the people! They serve whoever pays the highest. Lobbyist and special interests run Washington, we no longer have a voice!Stephen Micalizzi: My faith in government started to erode back when Bill Clinton was in office and continued through Bush and now through Obama. With every passing election, the government is about more control over the people and less control over the corporations that donate to the politicians.Frances Long Rabon: I am glad Republicans are not giving into President for his foolish demands. Government should cut just as individuals do. My faith lies with God not government.Dave Alley: it's all smoke and mirrors... nothing bad going to happen let them shut downCharles Torgerson: Republicans are the problem. Democrats are the problem. The system is failed. Washington is full of politicians and we do not need them. We need people to GOVERN.Roger Gibbons: The Republicans are not guiltless because they are cowards. But the budget, the deficit, and the debt have to be addressed somehow, and not just with a perfunctory "hello problems." The Democrats are not going to do it. What the public needs is a wake-up call. This may be it.Rochelle Johnson: Ultimately it is the President's responsibility. It's his watch isn't it? If a Navy ship has an accident (runs aground or hits another ship), the CO is the first to go even if the CO was not on the ship. Why? The CO is responsible. The President is responsible for this country. It's his watch. It's like all of the politicians belong to some insane club, where they check their compassion at the door.Jason Watkins: There is a good deal of complaining on here, but do you guys want cuts or not? Or....do you only want cuts when it affects the other guy?Rochelle Johnson: Cut! We all have to compromise. Why doesn't the President/Senate/Congress lead by example and cut their pay. Let's see what they will sacrifice. Robby Baker: Let them go into effect. The worst thing that can happen to Obama is for these cuts to engage and nothing bad happens. We're living above our means, time to trim some fat.Melinda G. Andrews: It is so unfortunate that this seems to be our government's "solution" — when, in actuality, it is the result of arrogance and stubbornness on the part of both Congress and the President. More important than my "faith" in our government, is my concern for the effects of the sequestration on the citizens of South Carolina. We are a poor State. We depend on federal funding for our social welfare issues. We are dependent on the military for a sizable amount of our jobs. We need more, not less, funding for our substandard public education system. This State will quickly feel the effects of the sequestration. Hopefully, at some point, common sense will prevail and help our elected officials understand that putting their pride and egos above the welfare and livelihoods of the average citizen is a lose-lose situation for everyone.Peter Sharkey: It's not faith in government that has eroded. It's faith in people entrusted to run the government for the good of the people they represent that has eroded. As far as it being something the government has to do ... no, the government does not have to punish the people it supposedly serves by jeopardizing their security and livelyhoods!! Not enough time or space here to adequately address this situation.Jason Watkins: Why do people want to turn this into a religious issue? Is it not really about which corporations receive federal subsidies? Faith has nothing to do with it...it's who gets redistributed tax dollars and who doesn't.Compiled by Andy Lyons
Restaurant owner Denis O'Doherty thinks Congress, by design, is hard-wired to keep Americans living in fear.
And West Ashley resident Tom Lewis thinks politicians have spent so much time in the D.C. bubble that they've lost focus on who they're supposed to be helping.
He compares Washington spenders to a family living on $60,000 a year salary but going above and beyond their means, freely racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit card debt.
The looming sequestration cuts? "Yeah, I'm good with it," he said. "Because we've got to get spending under control."
With the nation facing its second spending cliff in two months, Lowcountry residents say the repeated examples of 11th-hour financial "chicken" are more aimed at benefitting politicians on Sunday talk shows than in actually addressing the tough and nagging questions.
"It's distressing to me that the government has no issue giving themselves pay raises, while we all go without," Jennifer Miklos Holstein, 33, a construction coordinator who lives in Summerville, told The Post and Courier on Facebook.
"They never seem to solve anything, yet they constantly try to distract us with what I consider 'smoke & mirror' issues - like gay marriage. It's all so ridiculous because they DO nothing of any importance. They fight amongst themselves and name-call and act like fools."
Holstein added, "If my kids act like that, they go to time out."
Today is supposed to be the official launch of the sequestration, the automatic $85 billion spending cuts that both sides of the aisle said would be easily avoided through negotiation.
While jockeying is still planned and solutions envisioned, perhaps most harmful to the Charleston area if nothing is done is that more than 5,000 civilians who work for the Department of Defense will face furloughs one day out of every five. That translates to a loss of 20 percent in salary for them, probably beginning in April.
Still, news that federal employees are joining the list of private-sector workers who already have faced furloughs and belt-tightening hasn't created much sympathy and even a backlash.
"I'm good with it," said McCoy, who knows what it's like to endure wage cuts, going from $26 to $16 per hour when she changed jobs and moved here from Seattle.
For others, the whole debate remains partisan. Azikiwe Chandler on Thursday paused before walking into the School of Education building at the College of Charleston to vent his frustrations about politicians. The master's degree student said sequestration is just another example of Washington gridlock.
Chandler, 41, lauded President Barack Obama's time in office but blamed Republicans for acting as "obstructionists" from devising careful cuts that won't hurt the country.
He fears that future cuts will further erode financial aid for college students, and that eliminating subsidies for large corporations, such as banks and oil companies, would be a step toward fairness.
"Rather than getting business taken care of, there are people standing in the way," he added.
Joanne Milkereit, a retired dietician who paid a visit to an art exhibit at the college, said across-the-board cuts are not the way to go about trimming spending. Milkereit, 73, who uses Medicare and Social Security benefits, said politicians' failure to talk more about changes to those entitlement programs "is stupid."
She reads newspaper articles about budget talks, but while she disagrees with the drastic cuts, Milkereit said she isn't scared. Less defense spending could prove to be a good thing, she said. She recalled the shuttering of Charleston Naval Shipyard in the mid-1990s under the Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
"Frankly, the hype is alarmist," she said. "They thought the Navy base closing would be the end of the world for Charleston. My feeling is we're better off without it."
During a break between class sessions, Dominic Romer sold hot dogs and canned Pepsi to college students at St. Philip and Calhoun streets. For Romer, 33, ignorance of the sequestration hubbub is bliss.
After his nephew stuffed bubble gum into his CD player, he was forced to listen to National Public Radio rather than music. He gorged himself on political news and soon grew tired of lawmakers' squabbling.
"It just seems like one failed talk after another," Romer said. "It gets old. It's like watching a couple fight all the time."
He expressed little interest in budget cuts but said that all government should be streamlined to make it easier for small-business owners like him to earn a living. The local permitting process for his food cart, for example, was frustrating, he said.
Romer said he was sickened by the term "fiscal cliff." And now he's tuning out from hearing "sequestration" too. He finally fixed his CD player, and he's back to listening only to music.

They flew on missions to bomb Hitler's war machine and chased the deadly V-1 rockets that were threatening thousands.
They froze in the Ardennes Forest during the winter of 1944, and delivered the supplies that kept the Allied momentum alive.
And nearly seven decades after World War II came to a close, France said thank you with the highest recognition it has.
Seven elder sons of South Carolina, among them former U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings, were given the French Legion of Honor Monday in an expression of France's eternal gratitude to those who helped liberate their nation from the Nazis in 1944 and '45.
During the hourlong ceremony at Charleston's Dock Street Theatre, France's ambassador to the U.S., François Delattre, said the seven are "our heroes forever."
Some of the men, now in their late 80s and early 90s, seemed to choke up with pride or fall weak in their voices as the red-ribboned medal originally created by Napoleon Bonaparte was pinned onto suit jackets.
"I have trouble standing," said former Army Pfc. Leon Jones of Columbia, who during the war had the hazardous duty of clearing mine fields and blowing bridges.
"You don't have to," Delattre kindly answered as he bent down low to grab Jones' outreached right arm.
Created in 1802, the National Order of the Legion of Honor is the highest recognition of its kind in France. It covers eminent service to the French Republic, be it by military or civilian means. Recipients are designated by the French president, but the nominating process for these veterans began in the U.S.
One of the men, former B-24 pilot Earnest Haar of West Columbia, remembers the dangers of flying fuel drums to the front lines while trying to catch up with fast-moving Gen. George Patton. More than one plane was lost in the effort, he said, but the Army kept going.
There were more memorable times too, Haar said, like when he landed on a newly captured airfield and "traded cigarettes for champagne" with those on the ground.
Hollings, 91, of Isle of Palms, who retired from the Senate in 2004, took his award in good humor, recalling how the French came to Colonial America's aid in large numbers, helping trap the British at Yorktown and securing victory in the Revolution.
"I always knew you all had given us the Statue of Liberty, but I did not know you gave us liberty," said Hollings, who served in Africa before landing in southern France. He also was in charge of a radar and searchlight detachment that for a time helped defend a French airfield.
Hollings talked of being with French pilots who took off for action with great haste when there was a "rouge," or red, alarm, he said.
Delattre, meanwhile, on several occasions made note of the strong ties between the U.S. and France, listing the American Revolution, both World Wars, the Atlantic partnership and, more recently, hunting al-Qaida in the North African nation of Mali. Still, it was World War II that was front and center.
"Gentlemen, we will never forget what you did for us," he added.
Other members of the award list were Alexander B. Molnar of Bluffton (1st Lt., 719th Squadron, 449th Bomb Group); Stanley W. Wapinski of Columbia (1st Lt., 101st Infantry, 26th Division); Joseph B. Jones of Hilton Head Island (Sgt., 9th Air Force, 405th Fighter Group); and Richard W. Jolley of Aiken (Pfc., Company K, 119th Infantry, 50th Division).
The award bestowed Monday has been given to South Carolinians before. The nominating chain usually begins when living vets are asked to provide a biography and copies of discharge papers showing service tied to France.
Three of the men recognized Monday were nominated by Ernest Kirby of Columbia, past president of the S.C. Chapter of Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. Kirby was at Monday's ceremony and said he recognized that the ranks of the World War II generation are disappearing quickly.
"Their time remaining on this earth is not long," Kirby said. "It's time to honor them. They're heroes."

You know, The Cough. That scary chills through my heart and out my toes barky croup cough.
And I thought Oh no. Or maybe it was more like Oh, dear God, no.
It was only a couple months earlier that I first heard that cough coming from Gray one night and I seriously almost called 911. Yes- in all my almost 8 years of being a Mom it was my first time hearing it and oh my goodness I think my heart just started beating again last week.
And so when, on the night before I am to leave for 4 days away from my family and I'm already thinking of reasons why I should just stay at home afterall, I hear The Cough and first I think it's a sign. Like I should stay home. And then I think maybe it's a test. Do I have faith that they are going to be ok? That hubby can take care of it?
I ended up staying up the whole night with each one as The Cough passed from top bunk to firetruck bed to bottom bunk. There were drinks of water, a steamy bathroom, a bubble bath, and snuggling and prayers. Lots of prayers.
And maybe a little piece of my heart breaking off.
But through the night they each were better. And sleeping soundly in the morning.
I left and trusted that all would be ok. And it was.
Of course I have Ivy with me and so I'm part Mom missing her family at home and Mom on duty with a baby and luggage and plane tickets and show your ID and diaper bag and stroller and car seat and did I mention baby?
And when we got to the hotel she started a little cold that really has been the most pitiful little thing ever but she's still so happy and sweet and maybe another little piece of my heart broke off.
I talked to Carter and Gray last night and it was just the sweetest thing to hear their voices and I wonder WHY do they sound so stinking adorable when they are on the phone- and they say the cutest and wittiest things ever but when we're at home, their voices just aren't the same, you know?
I've come away from this conference with more than I thought I would. I'm picking up the pieces and I'm going home to so much more.
And I should totally call my kids more often, like, from upstairs on a bad day.

Yan will definitely go for 4t as he has all season. Ten and Farris have 4t but idk if either/both are planning to attempt it here. Brown has no 3a or 4t, but has a backloaded program. Jason is still definitely capable of medaling, he just has a smaller margin of error, especially because he's already chasing the others. I actually really like Farris's style and don't find him lacking charisma like some others. I think he is as strong as Brown artistically, just in a different way. The same is true of Han Yan. If the top 3 skate their best it's hard to say who would come out on top, they are very evenly matched and all great talents IMO.
Jason is going to have to try landing a triple axel soon in competition. Even if he falls he needs to see if he can do one that's the only way he will ever find out..
He knows that, and said to Phil Hersch that he absolutely had to have one next season in a recent article.
I found these videos so far for men, from the same account as pairs.

As Phil Hersh points out here, had Jason Brown done a triple axel instead of a double, the additional 5.2 base value would have had him practically level with Joshua Farris! However, looks like it won't be too long before Jason starts to address the issue of the triple axel as he told Hersh that: "For sure, I can't go another season without it"

About Jason putting out the 3-axel -- he has been practicing the jump. I hope he will put it out when he and his coach feel he is consistent enough to be successful. If not this season, then next season is soon enough IMO. He is after all, only 17 years old. IMO, I don't think it is at all healthy for still maturing young skaters to go gung ho with trying to land quads, and putting too much pressure on themselves physically and psychologically in training 3-axel either or putting it out when the skater is not ready. So what if it takes a skater like Brown more time to land the 3-axel (Chan was not quite ready at ages 16 and 17 either but felt pressure to put out the 3-axel and he has had consistency and technique problems with it). At this point, I would wait until next season, unless Jason and his coach feel it is worth it to try the 3-axel in the fs at Jr. Worlds to be more competitive (as long as the injury to his ankle is healed).
I also think that Jason, Joshua and Denis have better execution and presentation skills than Han Yan, although Yan is quite talented too (he doesnt interpret the music well).
If Jason is the one to win, I hope he goes for a 3A and lands it.
I dont mind if he steps out or 2-foot, does not have to land it perfectly, but at least he goes for it.
He needs to try 3As while competing at Junior cricuit. Or he may have hard time adjusting to the technical level when comes up at Senior; a la Adam.
Now that videos are out I must say I'm really impressed with the 3 Americans. The future of US men's figure skating is in good hands. Joshua and Jason are just incredible and I really enjoyed that program from Dolensky and think he could have a bright future if he can get a 3a.
Oh, and I hope Shoma will make the top10!
Now a podium finish seemd unlikely for Japanese boys, I hope they will regroup in the Free, and each boy will have a good performance that he feels satisfied with and be proud of.
Jason is definitely dynamic, charismatic and he beautifully interprets the music. He's amazing.

The avahi cleesei was discovered in western Madagascar in 1990 by a team of scientists from Zurich University. Now the researchers have named the primate - which weighs less than a kilo - after the Monty Python star. Lemurs are considered the most endangered of all primates and live only on Madagascar. The island has evolved in isolation for 165 million years. Mr Thalmann told the New Scientist magazine that long legs are not the only attribute lemurs share with Cleese. "Woolly lemurs can't really walk - but they do enjoy silly jumps," he said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4427160.stm

|Cervical cancer is responsible for 10-15% of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. The aetiological role of infection with high-risk human papilloma viruses (HPVs) in cervical carcinomas is well established. Previous studies have also implicated somatic mutations in PIK3CA, PTEN, TP53, STK11 and KRAS as well as several copy-number alterations in the pathogenesis of cervical carcinomas. Here we report whole-exome sequencing analysis of 115 cervical carcinoma-normal paired samples, transcriptome sequencing of 79 cases and whole-genome sequencing of 14 tumour-normal pairs. Previously unknown somatic mutations in 79 primary squamous cell carcinomas include recurrent E322K substitutions in the MAPK1 gene (8%), inactivating mutations in the HLA-B gene (9%), and mutations in EP300 (16%), FBXW7 (15%), NFE2L2 (4%), TP53 (5%) and ERBB2 (6%). We also observe somatic ELF3 (13%) and CBFB (8%) mutations in 24 adenocarcinomas. Squamous cell carcinomas have higher frequencies of somatic nucleotide substitutions occurring at cytosines preceded by thymines (Tp*C sites) than adenocarcinomas. Gene expression levels at HPV integration sites were statistically significantly higher in tumours with HPV integration compared with expression of the same genes in tumours without viral integration at the same site. These data demonstrate several recurrent genomic alterations in cervical carcinomas that suggest new strategies to combat this disease.

NASHVILLE, TN. – Though its acclaimed LIGHT exhibition closed last month, Cheekwood has announced that one of the show's most impressive indoor pieces will remain on display in the Cheekwood Mansion for the next three years.
Joanne and Gary of Nashville generously provided underwriting for the extended loan.
British artist Bruce Munro's fiber optic Bell Chandelier was created specifically for the Cheekwood Mansion's Rotunda as a part of LIGHT. The piece features two miles of fiber optic cable cascading from the top of the domed hall, each strand with a miniature brass bell shade at its end. The effect is dramatic and stunning in the space, spanning the majority of the hall's height to hang just 7' from the ground floor level.
"Cheekwood is thrilled that one of the public's favorite LIGHT installations will remain on view for an extended period of time," said Jane O. MacLeod, President and CEO. "The juxtaposition of this contemporary artwork in the historic Mansion pays homage to our heritage and celebrates the 'new' Cheekwood of today. We're incredibly grateful to Bruce Munro and the Slaughters for making this loan possible."
Bruce Munro's LIGHT installation transformed the botanical garden and art museum from May to November of 2013, welcoming more than180,000 visitors to experience the large-scale sculptural art pieces made with hundreds of miles of fiber optic cable. The exhibition's signature, Field of Light, created an undulating carpet of glowing bulbs "planted" across a large portion of the estate's grounds.

A local garden club has helped add a little flavor to downtown Moncks Corner.
The Town and Village Garden Club helped plant flowers and landscape the new Behrman Street traffic island behind Southcoast Community Bank.
The beautification project coincided with the repaving of Behrman Street from Main Street to White Street running between the bank, the Town Depot, the rear entrance to Barron's Department Store and the Heart to Heart Ministries complex. The repaving project was completed in the spring of 2012 and landscaping of the traffic islands completed in the fall.
Included in the beautification project was the planting of a Palmetto palm tree to anchor the island.
"To see community involvement in the beautification of the town is a wonderful thing," said Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler "Moncks Corner is a family community and when people come to visit they see that."
Southcoast Bank assisted in the funding of the Behrman Street beautification project, all part of the continuing community effort to beautify the downtown Moncks Corner area.
"The Town and Village Garden Club wants to assist the town in any way we can," said project and Breath of Spring flower show co-chair Linda Smith. "For the beautification of the town, anything we can do to help we are willing to do that. From planting or supplying the flowers or shrubbery, we're willing to use our energy expertise and time to help."
The Town and Village Garden Club will host their annual flower show scheduled for March 1-3 at Dean Hall on the grounds of Cypress Gardens. Other cooperating sponsors include the Belle Isle Garden Club, the Camellia Garden Club of Greater Charleston, the Garden Club of Otranto, and the Town and Village Garden Club.
The theme for this year's flower show is "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."
The flower show is open to the public with exhibition hours running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the weekend.
Admission to the flower show is free and included in the $10 admission to Cypress Gardens.
Horticulture and design judging will be held on Thursday, Feb. 28 from 8 to 11 a.m.
Last year, nearly 250 entries graced the three categories in a flower show that celebrated the 80 year anniversary of Cypress Gardens, with 194 horticulture entries, 48 design entries and five special exhibit entries filling out Dean Hall.

Unintended Consequences: How U.S. Tax Law Encourages Investment in Offshore Tax Havens
David S. Miller
Proskauer Rose LLP
October 4, 2010
The Internal Revenue Code is riddled with features that allow U.S. taxpayers to reduce their federal tax liability by operating through tax haven companies. Some of these provisions are historic anomalies. Others are better understood as inadvertent loopholes than considered legislative grace. Some incentives are indeed intentional.
The paper catalogues the many ways that U.S. federal and state tax law encourages taxpayers to operate through foreign tax haven companies to reduce their tax liabilities, and attempts to explain the history and policy underlying the rules. The paper then offers a number of suggestions to eliminate the inadvertent incentives that encourage U.S. taxpayers to form foreign corporations and operate through them solely for tax purposes.

Neighbors have been complaining of what one calls the "earthquakelike noise" of construction of a 28-unit, four-story affordable rental complex in Wailuku's Sand Hills area, but a Maui County spokesman said that Friday was expected to be the last day of the disruptive work.
"The earth is shaking," said Michael Grammer, a neighbor living in an apartment at 493 Pio Drive. "The place literally shakes. You can't hear what anybody says. You can't do any work; can't get anything done."
A resident of the area since 1988, Grammer called The Maui News on Friday afternoon after calling state and county officials, but "everybody passes me on to someone else."
The intense noise began about three weeks ago, he said, halted the week after that and resumed this week, he said.
Grammer said he was given conflicting information about whether there was a permit to do construction at the site of the apartment complex at nearby 511 Imi Place. He said he did not see a permit displayed.
The project is at the end of a cul-de-sac already developed with apartment buildings overlooking Kahului Harbor. The $12.5 million Imi Ikena is financed in part by a $2.75 million loan from the county's affordable housing fund, which was used as leverage for additional financing.
County spokesman Rod Antone said the project does have all the required permits.
He said the noise has been caused by a "vibrational hammer," and that work was supposed to end Friday.
Antone said he talked this week to a representative of the construction company who said it was necessary to use either the vibrational hammer or a pile driver to put in the building's foundational supports. The pile driver would have been louder, he said he was told.
The construction company, which was not immediately identified, was between a "rock and a hard place," he said.
Antone said the construction company representative pledged to visit neighbors to find out about problems or any "actual damage." If it's necessary to use the same, loud equipment again, the neighbors would be informed, he said.
Grammer said the construction company was driving 30-foot beams.
He said his apartment is about 100 feet from the construction site, while there are two to three apartment complexes within 25 feet of it.
"I can't imagine what it's like where they are," he said.

Thanks, Altoona. Now that you are a "distressed" city, your taxes went up, and my paycheck went down.
Maybe if you enforced parking laws already on the books, you would ticket those who park on the wrong side of the street, going the wrong direction; not to mention those who park too close to stop signs.
That income might exceed the income from the tax increase.
Thanks, environmentalists:?Because of you and your increasing regulations regarding the Chesapeake Bay, Altoona - a distressed city - must increase its sewage rates.
The last time I checked the map, Altoona was some distance from the Chesapeake Bay. Now my spending money will be less, because my water/sewage bill is higher.
I already pay higher water rates, since Altoona asked everyone to conserve water - which we did - and water usage went down, so rates had to increase to make up the decrease.
Thanks, Congress. You don't have the guts to stop the incessant spending, putting the financial future of our country at risk. You make people think that if you don't raise the debt ceiling that the U.S. will default on its debts.
Our paychecks have gone down, but we still make our payments. Not raising the debt ceiling only means that you will not borrow more money. Is that so bad? The threat of a default is nothing more than a scare tactic.
Thanks, Mr. Obama. Your insistence on higher taxes caused my paycheck to go down. I am not rich (although I do consider myself rich in blessings, privileged to live in the greatest country on the earth), nor do I think I am in the "middle class."
I work two nonprofit jobs. The tax increase on the so-called rich touched my paycheck. Payroll taxes went up, and my paycheck went down.
Isn't there anyone out there who can run for public office and truly fix some of these problems? Isn't there anyone out there who stands for conservative principles, and values the Constitution over executive orders that blatantly disregard the Constitution? Isn't there anyone out there who can say, "We have had enough!"
If you're there, you have my support, and I suspect the support of many more Altoonans and Americans.

The Donath-Landsteiner test is a blood test to detect harmful
Anti-P antibody
A blood sample is needed.
No special preparation is needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
This test is done to confirm a diagnosis of paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
The test is considered normal if no Donath-Landsteiner antibodies are present.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results mean Donath-Landsteiner antibodies are present. This is a sign of paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

- SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized Thursday 73 kilograms (161 pounds) of cocaine and six kilograms (13. 23 pounds) of heroin concealed within two bags inside a container arriving from Caucedo, Dominican Republic. During an enforcement operation June 28 at the Port of San Juan, CBP officers were assigned to inspect all containers arriving on board the vessel M/V COLUMBA. Using a CBP X-ray platform, all the selected containers were scanned and various containers were randomly selected for a more thorough inspection. CBP officers opened one of the containers selected for inspection and found two bags containing 56 packages of cocaine and four packages heroin. Both drugs tested positive to cocaine and heroin during a field test. "We are increasing enforcement operations on all inbound containerized cargo arriving from the Dominican Republic and other known drug trafficking source countries that arrive into our seaports to detect and intercept drugs," said Marcelino Borges, director of field operations for San Juan and the U. Ss Virgin Islands. "This seizure is an example that our strategy is working and we must continue doing this to stop drug smuggling. " U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) took custody of the contraband. The investigation is ongoing. . CBP uses sophisticated methods to identify and target potentially high-risk cargo, including advanced electronic information about every cargo shipment to the U. S. before it arrives. We use strategic intelligence, anomaly analysis and even the relative security of a shipper or importer's supply chain is evaluated. Read original at

CHARLES TOWN - The Charles Town Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association is petitioning the West Virginia Supreme Court to nullify an agreement between the state's Racing and Lottery commissions.
Attorney David Hammer filed a writ of mandamus Monday on behalf of the association to declare null and void an interagency agreement that, according to a news release, gives many of the Racing Commission's statutory duties to the Lottery Commission.
"The Racing Commission controls every aspect of the racing industry," Hammer said in a telephone interview Monday. "By statute, the Legislature passed the statute, that's the Racing Commission's job. (The interagency agreement) has stripped from the Racing Commission (its duties) and given them to the Lottery Commission and that's a huge deal for the horsemen in Jefferson County."
If granted, the writ of mandamus would command the commissions not to implement the interagency agreement.
The Racing Commission and the Lottery Commission are agencies of the West Virginia Department of Revenue, which also is named in the petition for a writ of mandamus.
According to the news release Hammer issued Monday, the agreement approved June 18 by the Racing Commission gives the Lottery Commission the responsibility for the Thoroughbred Rules of Racing, which govern all thoroughbred horse racing.
Also, the agreement delegates many constitutional responsibilities of the West Virginia Attorney General to in-house legal counsel at the Lottery Commission, according to the news release, including day-to-day legal advice and the correct interpretation of the Thoroughbred Rules of Racing.
The Racing Commission did not get the Attorney General's input on the agreement before authorizing it, the news release states.
"The Attorney General is a constitutional officer who has the responsibility to advise state agencies," Hammer said in the news release. "This is a power grab by the executive branch of state government, plain and simple."
Contacted Monday, the Attorney General's office released the following statement:
"There are significant legal questions about what the West Virginia Racing Commission and West Virginia Lottery Commission have done. We are reviewing the petition and will not have any further comment until we have fully analyzed all of the issues."
Jon Amores, executive director of the Racing Commission, received the notice of the petition Monday.
"We haven't reviewed it and we wouldn't have a comment until we review it and decide the proper response," he said in a telephone interview Monday.
He would not comment on the contents of the interagency agreement, either. The agreement was not available to the public Monday.
There was no answer at the Lottery Commission's offices Monday afternoon.
The state Supreme Court is not in session now, but there is a justice assigned to monitor emergency motions, the news release said. Hammer expects the writ to get prompt attention by the court, the release states.
Hammer said that former Gov. Joe Manchin tried to combine the Lottery and Racing commissions to form a gaming commission, but that was defeated by state legislators.
"What they failed to do legislatively, they have done administratively," he said.

Healthcare has changed. After nearly 20 years, "quality" has penetrated deeply into our industry. Whether referred to as quality management, quality improvement, or performance improvement, the structures assuring its permanence are widely evident.
For example, many medical practices participate in pay-for-performance programs necessitating their focus on clinical outcomes; physician and hospital data are publicly reported to foster attention on quality of care; process improvement infrastructure is mandated by The Joint Commission; "meaningful use" criteria recently promoted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology fosters the technology infrastructure necessary to improve quality; and professional organizations increasingly offer participation in comparative databases such as the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

MACON, Ga. – Highlighted by Patrick Mazeika (Wilbraham, Mazz.) becoming the fifth ever Hatter to be named Atlantic Sun Conference Freshman of the Year, six members of the Stetson baseball team were honored by the conference for their play during the 2013 season, as announced by the league on Tuesday.
Mazeika, who led the A-Sun in overall batting (.392) and batting during conference contests (.439), was tabbed by the coaches as the top freshman in the league. Also recording 11 doubles, two triples, three home runs, 33 RBI, and a .498 on base percentage, Mazeika was selected to the All-Atlantic Sun Conference First Team, marking the 24th straight season the Hatters placed someone on the first team.
Junior Austin Perez (Loxahatchee, Fla.) earned All-Atlantic Sun Second Team honors after finishing the regular season with an overall record of 7-2 on the mound. The left-hander currently holds an ERA of 2.95, has recorded one complete game, and has thrown 60 strikeouts to just 24 walks.
Joining Mazeika (unanimous selection) on the A-Sun All-Freshman Team was a trio of first year Hatters. Kevin Fagan (Boca Raton, Fla.), Konner Lutz (Medicine Hat, Alberta), and Tyler Warmoth (Longwood, Fla.) all earned the accolades from the league for their performance on the field this season.
Fagan has played a multitude of roles for Stetson in 2013. Beginning the year as a two-way player, he continues to hold a 2.28 ERA in 11 appearances, but has not pitched since an April 5 start at Jacksonville. Fagan has continued to impress at the plate, batting a majority of the season at the leadoff position. The freshman is hitting .282 with three doubles, three triples, 30 walks, and a team-leading 44 runs scored.
Splitting time behind the plate and at third base, Lutz is currently batting .256 in 42 games played. The Canadian has added four doubles and 18 runs batted in for the Hatters. Warmoth, meanwhile, has played a pivotal role on the mound in his first season at Stetson. The freshman is second on the team with 30 appearances, and holds onto a 5-2 record with a 3.73 ERA.
Senior Joe Dye (Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) was recognized by the league for his performance on the field and in the classroom. The reliever leads the Hatters with 32 appearances, all coming in relief outings, and currently holds a career-best 3.35 ERA. Dye, who has earned two degrees in his time at Stetson, was named to the A-Sun Academic All-Conference Team on Tuesday. The senior studied both Finance and Sport Management in DeLand, and has a cumulative GPA of 3.52.
These six Hatters will be honored by the league at the annual banquet on Tuesday night in advance of this week's Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. Stetson will be the five seed in the tournament, and will take on fourth seeded ETSU at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
The Championship will be held at Melching Field in DeLand, beginning Wednesday, and playing through Sunday. For more information, visit www.gohatters.com or www.atlanticsun.org. For ticket information, visit www.gohatters.com/tix or call 386-738-HATS.

, updated January 8, 2013 at 7:54 AM
OK, so he's not Marv Levy. In his first news conference as the Bills' head coach, Doug Marrone didn't dazzle us with historical references. He didn't mention World War II, or quote from his favorite authors. If he had, I'm guessing it would have been from Peter King's Monday morning column.
Marrone is a football coach, not a statesman. Like most of the men in his profession, he seems practiced in the art of saying nothing, with a certain air of authority. He danced around many of the pertinent football questions during a half-hour session with the media.
But Marrone knew enough to play to the sympathies of fans who are always eager to embrace athletes and coaches who sound and feel like one of them.
"I'm not going to stand up here and say, 'I know this town. I've lived in this town,' " said Marrone, a native of the Bronx. "But I feel this town, and the core values here are one of the things that I look for.
"When you think about it, I was born and raised in this state I went to school in this state [he played college football at Syracuse]. My first coaching job ever was in this state [Cortland]. My first head-coaching job was in this state [SU]. And now, my dream job as an NFL head coach, again, is in this state."
Russ Brandon, the team president and CEO, was beaming. It was nice to have the new coach embrace the role of a New York guy. It was only a few weeks ago, remember, that Gov. Andrew Cuomo was signing off on a new lease deal and helping push the idea of a new football stadium a decade down the road.
Brandon, a Syracuse native, is a big believer in regionalizing the franchise. He didn't hire Marrone for his local roots, but it can't hurt to have a New York guy who resurrected the state's top college football program in charge of the only NFL team located in the state.
"I didn't care if he was the coach of University of Tahiti," Brandon said. "That's a legitimate question, him being from Syracuse, but our focus was on the best man for the job, wherever that individual came from. He knows the area and he knows the tradition of this franchise. He respects it."
He's right. Marrone could just as well be from Tahiti, Texas or Toledo. And he wasn't brought here to simply respect the Bills' tradition. He's here to restore it from the ashes, to lift it up from years of dysfunction, the way he did with a Syracuse program that had fallen on hard times.
It's not words that matter now, but results. The Bills need a head coach who will take over the operation and make it his own. Brandon called Marrone, 48, the ideal man for the job.
"We wanted toughness, we wanted intellect, we wanted a culture change, a guy that will bring leadership, competitive leadership," Brandon said. "We wanted to hopefully have someone with an NFL pedigree and head-coaching experience. Doug was a perfect candidate."
Marrone, who played offensive line in college and the National Football League, said he's "old school" in some ways. But he's also an advocate of the new "analytics". He said the New Orleans Saints used some analytics when he was offensive coordinator from 2006-08. He was open to new ideas, including the K-Gun offense, at SU.
Brandon intends to creates a department of analytics with the Bills, so Marrone's innovative background was a selling point. General Manager Buddy Nix, who has been around football for half a century, agreed that Marrone brings a mixture of the old and the new to his dream job.
"I do," Nix said. "He's highly intelligent and keeps up with all the new trends. He knows about the old school stuff, too. So we've got the best of both worlds."
Brandon said "organizations win championships, individuals do not" (although it certainly helps when one of those individuals is an elite quarterback).
But make no mistake about it. This will be Marrone's show. At Syracuse, he changed a sloppy culture and restored a sense of order and discipline. He ran off problem players. He instructed the ones who remained to dress properly and be accountable.
Marrone made it clear that he will be in control of every aspect of the Bills' operation. He'll have a say in all three phases: offense, defense and special teams. This won't be Gailey abdicating control of the defense, or Jauron being a clueless passenger on the offense.
"The main thing is when you're the head football coach, you want to make sure that you're truly the CEO of the program," Marrone said, "that you know what's going on on offense, know what's going on on defense, and know what's going on on special teams. So from a management style, that's who I am.
"I have to make sure we know how to win games, make sure I'm managing all three of those phases. I'll be heavily involved in game planning. I do take offense when people say,'You're an offensive coach.' I've been attacking defenses my whole entire life."
Marrone doesn't want to be pigeonholed. He had a reputation in Syracuse for being thin-skinned, sensitive about the way criticism affected his family.
"Who, me?" he said. "I'm an old school offensive lineman … I was always the kid that couldn't play Pop Warner because I was the big, chubby kid. So I've learned about having thick skin for a long period of time."
However thick his skin, Marrone strikes me as a guy with an edge, a coach who will demand a high standard from his players and everyone else in the organization. I don't care if he came from college. An NFL player will respond to a coach who is consistent and fair, and who makes him better.
Marrone might be the sort to push back when the media ask the tough questions. That's fine. After seven years of Jauron and Gailey, who had the emotional range of a monk, it would be refreshing to deal with a coach with a volatile side.
Bills fans wouldn't mind, either. They're tired of watching head coaches who look like statues on the sidelines. A little passion would be nice around here. I'm told Marrone was impassive in his early days at Syracuse. Then he decided to be true to his nature and became much more animated.
We have a well-earned skepticism. No one sells false hope like the Bills. But after years of disappointment, maybe they're due for some luck. Wouldn't it be something if it was a New York guy who finally got it right?

Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were among those nominated Thursday morning for Golden Globes, part of Hollywood's pre-Oscar awards' season frenzy now underway.
Pitt was nominated for his leading dramatic role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which, along with director Ron Howard's adaptation of the stage drama Frost/Nixon and another stage-to-screen transfer, Doubt, led the Globes' list, with five nominations each.
The Reader, Revolutionary Road and Slumdog Millionaire are also nominees for best dramatic picture. Best musical or comedy movie nominees are Burn After Reading, Happy-Go-Lucky, In Bruges, Mamma Mia! and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Meryl Streep nabbed two nominations: best dramatic actress for Doubt and musical or comedy actress for Mamma Mia!. Kate Winslet also has the chance for double honors, as leading dramatic actress in Revolutionary Road and as supporting-actress in The Reader.
Besides Pitt, the other dramatic leading actor nominees are Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road; Frank Langella, Frost/Nixon; Sean Penn, Milk (that acclaimed film's only nomination); and Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler.
Jolie and Streep's competition for best dramatic movie actress will come from Anne Hathaway, Rachel Getting Married; and Kristin Scott Thomas, I've Loved You So Long.
In the TV division, the Globes smiled upon Tina Fey, whose Emmy-winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock was nominated as best comedy series, along with that same network's The Office, Showtime's Californication and Weeds and HBO's Entourage.
In the dramatic series category, those cited were FOX's House (the only broadcast network nominee), HBO's In Treatment and True Blood, Showtime's Dexter and AMC's Emmy winner Mad Men.
See a full list of the 2009 Golden Globe nominees.
The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast Jan. 11 from the Beverly Hilton at 8 p.m. on NBC.
Giggles for Franco, CruiseThursday's nominees were announced by Elizabeth Banks, Brooke Shields, Terrence Howard, Rainn Wilson and Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the awards.
Giggling broke out when the names of James Franco and Tom Cruise were announced, for their respective comedy roles – in Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder.
A year ago, a strike by the Writers Guild of America effectively shut down the Globes telecast, with nominees refusing to cross the picket line to attend a ceremony. Instead, a small-scale TV special was aired, simply to announce the winners.
In terms of predicting the Academy Awards, the last movie to win both the Golden Globes' best drama and best picture at the Oscars was 2003's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Last year's top Globe drama trophy went to Atonement, which left the Oscars empty handed.
This year's Oscar nominations will be announced Jan. 22.

I have a remington 1100 that i bought 30+ years ago. Can you shoot steel shot thru it without damaging the barrel? Ive heard you cant, and ive heard you can. It seems to me that the wad would protect the barrel, but hey, im new to this community. Any direction here would be helpful.

Yote, Im not a gunsmith, but this is my take on the issue.
Your shot cup should keep the majority of steel from the barrel, however this is not a guarantee. Because of this most shotshell boxes say right on the bottom, a generic warning that if your not sure, dont shoot it. Most of the reason is the damage that happens to the forcing cone when the shot goes off. You can google images of forcing cones damaged by steel shot.
You also have to consider the chamber pressures. With current loads leaning towards faster is better many shells have jacked up the juice and lowered the load weight to achieve lightning fast shot loads. Remington's Hypersonic is a prime example. My own Shotgun is fairly new at less than 5 years old and it even says not to shoot any loads faster than 1500fps. That rules out a lot of the newer shells and my gun isnt 30 years old.
I would suggest calling Remington Arms directly and get your advice straight from the manufacturer.
1-800-243-9700 for parts and service. Just a suggestion.

Yes, check with Remington and get the straight scoop. I'm betting they'll tell you that you'll be fine with steel smaller than BB sized and sure enough if it is a modified or more open choke you will be fine.
Chamber pressure and barrel scoring shouldn't be a problem with modern steel shot ammo. SAAMI voluntary standards for Max Average Pressure haven't changed, except that the 12ga 3 1/2" shell is higher MAP than 12ga 3" shells. And, wads in modern manufatured steel loads should uncompass all the pellets to prevent bore contact.
The only real issue with some large (generally BB or larger) steel pellet loads, high velocity steel loads, or heavy payload steel ammo is the higher radial pressure these loads can have as the ejecta travels down the barrel and hits the choke constriction where if the barrel or choke tube can't handle the pressure then you can get a slight ring-bulge in the barrel just ahead of the choke constriction or a swelling of the choke tube that will make it difficult to remove.
Good luck.

A 30 year old gun was made after steel shot was required for waterfowl I had a hunting buddy that used a 1100 3" mag with steel. The only thing they said when steel came out was to shoot all steel with a choke no tighter them Modified (.710 or larger). so all of the guys I hunted with got new barrels with fixed Mod choke. to this day I will not shoot steel any tighter than Mod. As far as speed goes pattern your gun to see what it will do my 870s would have the pattern blow out when I got over 1450fps it had holes that a Teal could go through.

I think heavy shot makes a shell for old guns that cant shoot steel.it nontoxic and pricey.

I have several old 1100's with fixed chokes. When I started duck hunting, I had a gunsmith advise me to replace the fixed choke barrel with a new rem choke barrel and used steel choke tubes. He told me that over time, the steel shot could damage the barrel. I have seen new barrels at Cabelas for under $200. I decided to save the old 1100's for other hunting and got a new 870 that can handle shells up to a three and a half. It didn't cost that much more and I will save up for a new auto loader.

I have a 1963 Remington Model 1100 that was the first one to hit Dallas, TX. It came with a modified barrel. As others have stated, newer rounds have much higher pressures than what was available back when the gun was introduced. That alone precludes me from dropping any of the new rounds in it. Due to the age of the gun, the low serial number, the modified barrel and the sentimental value (was my fathers gun that he gave to me), about the only hunting I will do with this gun is an occasional dove hunt.
There was no way that I was going to take this gun out to where we hunt as we hunt on coastal island sloughs and I would not take a chance with it against the salty air conditions. Therefore, I went and bought a Benelli SuperNova for about $550 just for duck hunting. That way I get to keep a heirloom and have a newer gun that I can take out without any worries.
Just my two cents worth.

This is a celebration cake for my VegNews Top Blog honour, and a thank you to myself for the hours spent baking for the street fair (nothing like thanking yourself for baking by doing more baking!). Back in the day I used to make a cake sort of like this with a whipped cream filling. I have never tried my hand at vegan whipped cream (I think I saw a recipe once with a coconut milk base), but I tagged this Chocolate Mousse recipe from Have Cake, Will Travel a while back thinking it would be perfect for this kind of cake. Now, while I am comfortable baking bread I am not well versed in the ways of the cake. I searched around for vegan sponge cake recipes and made various modifications as I saw fit (I still think it is too high in baking powder). Not the greatest cake in the world but it did the trick and its mediocrity is masked by all the wonderful mousse filling. I really should email Isa for cake advice.
