A Virginia man is lucky to be alive after an Amtrak train traveling nearly 80 mph hit his car as he drove over the tracks.
Untron Drew ignored warning lights and tried to drive around a crossing bar when his 2000 Ford Crown Victoria was hit Thursday morning in Waverly.
He was flown to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Anaya said.
Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash, she said.
The train was traveling from Norfolk to Boston at the time.
None of the 46 passengers on board were injured, Amtrak spokeswoman Christina Leeds said.

A speed-suit is a short-sleeved jumpsuit favored by certain super-scientists who demand both comfort and ease from their clothing. When properly fitted, it should crotch six inches below the natural inseam. The common speed suit is predominantly polyester, allowing occupational hazards such as baby burps to be easily cleaned off with a lemony wipe.

Snowshoe racing in the Tahoe region continues to lag behind the rest of the nation in participation, but the enthusiasm and energy at the Racing Gnome snow run at Plumas Eureka State Park this past weekend proved to me that the desire is there.
The gnome race - which coincided with the Plumas County WinterFest - had some hiccups getting going this year. But once it found its home in Johnsville there was no turning back. With only three weeks to get things together, we managed to put together an event that now feels like it has the ability to live on for years to come.
The participants raved about the course, though incredibly challenging, and loved the venue. Many talked about coming back to the area just to show their friends. The magic of this historic area really added to the awe of the day.
The race started right in front of the old Johnsville ski hill lodge and zipped down about 100 meters before making a right turn and climbing about 900 feet to Eureka Lake. It brought even the front runners to a walk. But once the pitch lightened up the race was moving at a quicker click.
By the time we began climbing above Eureka Lake I could see that JB Benna (Reno), Paul Sweeney (Truckee), Nick Salfoni (Mountain View) and I were all in a tight group. And no more than 20 feet back, Dolores Bergmann (Chester) was chasing us down.
We all crested the final saddle and traversed a ridge where we then stared down "the plunge." From what I heard that was either a mortifying experience or the highlight of the day. A quick run down and the winding, stick-lined trail through the woods brought us back to the start.
For many, one lap was the race (5 kilometers), while others returned to the daunting climb they first experienced to complete the 10-kilometer race. The field spread out. I pulled away from JB on the climb, but when we were at the finish stretch he dug deep and we had a race nearly to the line. Out-passioned for the win, JB claimed the title of California State Snowshoe Champion with a time of 1:03:43 to my 1:03:49. Sweeney placed third in 1:10:30.
On the women's side, Dolores ran solo most of the event chasing down the lead men. She easily took the win for women and was fourth overall with a time of 1:13:12. Rachel Wadsworth of San Francisco was second woman with a time of 1:49:23.
The 5K was a battle between two area locals, David Funk and Dan Gallagher. David's endurance background proved too much and he pulled away to win by nearly 6 minutes. Makie Ohler of Nevada city was third overall in the 5K and was not far behind the lead men.
It was a great day for snowshoe racing in the Sierra. Next year with Tim Hardie and Jay Scuttle leading the charge, the race will at least double what happened this year. And I can't forget to point out how enthusiastic and grateful the community in Plumas County was to have us be involved in their region.

African Americans face stigma with mental health care
Some people have a hard time talking about mental illness. For many African Americans, that topic can come with negative connotations. So much so, their problems can be overlooked or ignored. It's a mistake mental health experts say can have terrible consequences.

About a dozen of businesses on Capitol Hill say they are already stepping up and taking action by sticking decals in their store windows declaring their business a gun-free zone. Those participating so far include Odd Fellows Lodge, Elliott Bay Books, and Cupcake Royale, to name a few. Cafe Racer, the scene of a fatal shooting at its University District home last year, is also participating.
"This is the most significant health issue of our time I would argue," said Ralph Fascitelli with Washington CeaseFire, "yet the most neglected."
June Son works at Lost Lake Cafe and Bar, another business participating in the program.
"A lot of us work late at night and at the end of your shift when you're walking home, it's just a much better feeling overall to know that folks aren't out there with guns," Son said.
She says the owners of their business were the ones who came up with the idea.
"Our owners here really wanted it to be a safe environment for everyone by doing a gun-free zone," Son said.
Gun violence kills more than 31,000 people each year in the United States and Washington Ceasefire says they are hoping the new program will cut that number. Business owners can sign up to say guns are not allowed and can post signs to let people know their weapon is not welcome inside. The program is entirely voluntary and no city money is being used for its funds.
"It's our right to establish rights of entry," said Michael Meckling. "And to do that to make sure the people coming to our neighborhood want to come here."
But gun rights activists say the program is discrimination toward people who are exercising their civil rights.
Not all businesses will jump on board. For example, just last week, it was a much different scene at area Starbucks stores as gun rights advocates told supporters to visit the coffee houses which do allow concealed weapons. While the coffee giant says they don't endorse events like open carry day, they also say they comply with all local laws -- which means, in Washington, you can still carry a gun inside.
Washington is a free carry state and more than 350,000 people here are permitted to carry a concealed weapon.

Guest blog by Mary Dell Harrington, co-founder of the parenting blog Grown and Flown.
We do our best, as moms, to protect our kids from dangerous situations. If your family has pets, that same protective instinct applies to the four-legged members of the family. On Valentine's Day my vigilance will be put to the test as I try to keep the red satiny boxes filled with chocolates away from our chocolate Labradors.
We have owned four Labs during our 25 years of marriage, and each one has been a terrible food thief. Though I'm annoyed when a pup snatches a peanut butter sandwich from the kitchen counter top, I don't worry about the ingredients the dog ingested. However, if the Valentine's chocolates are accidentally left on that same space in the kitchen, there can be cause for concern.
According to the ASPCA, "Chocolate can contain high amounts of fat and caffeine-like stimulants known as methylxanthines. If ingested in significant amounts, chocolate can potentially produce clinical effects in dogs ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to panting, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures and even death in severe cases."
If you discover that your dog has eaten chocolate, try to remain calm and ascertain these three things before you call your vet:
- Determine if it was dark, milk or white chocolate
- Try to estimate the ounces consumed
- Know your dog's weight
Better yet, take a look at the video below, created by the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, which illustrates helpful things to note about the dangers of quantities and types of chocolate. It's helpful to watch the video now, before your dog has a chance to snack on any unsafe treats this Valentine's Day.

A prisoner who escaped just over a year ago pled guilty to three charges in court Monday.
James Sanders, of Ridgeville, received a sentence of five years for the escape charge but was given credit for the 526 days he's already served. He will now serve three-and-a-half years.
Sanders pled guilty to the escape charge along with a failure to stop for blue lights charge and the criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature (CDVHAN) charge that initially landed him behind bars.
The CDVHAN charge of 10 years was suspended to one year of service and five years probation, according to Ninth Judicial Circuit Deputy Solicitor Bryan A. Alfaro.
For the CDVHAN charge, Sanders' probation and year of service will be tolled, meaning it begins after his prison sentence for the escape ends.
Sanders escaped from Hill-Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner on Jan. 26, 2012 and was gone almost exactly a month before he was found and arrested in Myrtle Beach on March 1, 2012.
Following that arrest he attended a bond hearing in Moncks Corner where a woman told the court she was the victim in the case and said she was fearful of Sanders being released on any kind of bail.
"He is a flight risk and he wants me murdered," she said. "He's done this several times before."
Officials said they thought Sanders was being released when he simply walked out of the detention center to make his escape.
What he left behind was confusion, turmoil and a complete reshuffling of prisoner release procedures that resulted in disciplinary action against four Hill-Finklea Detention Center employees.
According to reports, on his wild ride at large Sanders hitched a ride to Charleston, hung out at MUSC Medical Center for at least two days, was spotted in Sangaree briefly before again eluding capture. He would eventually take up residence at the Grand Strand Regional Medical Center for two weeks.
In an audacious move, Sanders was apparently posing as "Kevin," the brother of a comatose patient.
Sanders' luck turned sour and his plans began to unravel when the comatose patient woke up and real family members showed up at the Myrtle Beach facility, denying knowledge of any family member named Kevin.
The escaped fugitive received money, food and laundry services from hospital staff members, authorities said.

Perfect Platform
By Mike
from Idaho Falls Idaho
About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
I'm just getting into mountain biking and am used to clipless road pedals. I bought some Crank Bros Doubleshot pedals for my mountain bike and didn't like them because they are too small to use on the platform side and I slipped off all the time. When I'd clip in, I couldn't get unclipped fast enough and ended up tipping over one too may times. I replaced them with these pedals and problem solved! I can wear comfortable for hiking shoes that stay on the pedals but are easy to put on the ground when needed. These look like quality made pedals, smooth bearings, well constructed.
serious pedals for serious pedaling
By year-round rider
from New England (MA)
I got these for my son who rides a lot in the city. We liked that the pedal had a HUGE platform.I thought they were pretty light-weight. But they are substantially well made. I have bought other Nashbar branded products and found them to be excellent, like pedals, cranks, disc brake-sets, etc. Nashbar also has very good customer service.

About Me Commuter
i needed some platform pedals with some grip to them. the old ones i had i got for getting to and from the farm i work at with my boots on. the problem was they were cheap plastic pedals with fairly smooth platforms. this combined with the hard rubber of my boot soles made riding the ridged downhill corners pretty hairy as my feet would quickly vibrate off the pedals.enter the nashbar verge. the traction pins work perfectly. so far they seem pretty durable, and they definitely prevent my feet from moving. in fact it's so grippy that if i put my foot on the pedal incorrectly, i can't just twist it straight. i have to actually pick my foor up off the pedal, straighten it, and then put it down again.getting to the farm is now a whole lot safer thanks to these pedals.
Traction pin leg bleed BE CAREFUL !
By TI Chuck
from Mentor OH
I got careless and ripped a good chunk out of my leg with the traction pins. NOT the pedals fault. The pins are really grippy and I love the wide platform. I have used these on club rides and plan to use them on the C&O trail . I am going to see if I can screw the traction pins in a little further to avoid future injury.
Bigger than I anticipated
By Alex
from New York City
About Me Competitive Cyclist
The peddles seem fine. They feel sturdy and putting your sneakered foot on the pedal is a breeze. I bought these to replace old road pedals which are way too small to wear with sneakers. My only complaint is that these pedals might be just a tad big for my use.
Great product for the price

Super flats!
By treedweeb
from Louisville KY
Bought these for new Kona XC bike and would absolutely buy again. For $100 more you can save a few grams but the far superior durability of these over Weight Weenie flats makes these a much better buy. They have stood up to some pretty hairy banging on tough rocky trails. Bearings have held up well through many miles. Studs are super grippy and hold feet solidly in place. Can't think of anything I would change.
Great Stuff!
By Will
from Houston, TX/Exeter, NH
I got these as a gift for my birthday after picking them out online. They arrived fairly quickly and were a quick and easy install (hardest part was removing my old, lousy, plastic pedals), and gave me great grip on my first ride. They arrived in a quaint little box that included detailed instructions on the installation of the pedals, as well as 10 extra metal nubs for the pedals in in the off chance that some are lost or broken. The nubs need to be installed using a 2mm hex wrench (standard in metric hex sets), and the pedals are tightened using an 8mm hex wrench (also standard in metric hex sets). I used these seriously for the first time during my weekly mountain biking trip with my dad where they gave me wonderful grip through mud and dirt with my flat, non-grippy shoes, and survived my bike attempting (and failing) to teach me gymnastics. The one slight downfall that I noticed about these pedals is that the paint scratches off rather easily. When I put my bike down on its side on my driveway, I noticed that the end of the pedal had had the paint taken off of it just from sliding a few inches on concrete. Overall, these are a great set of pedals for a pretty reasonable sum of money, and I highly recommend these to anyone who bikes on any surface-they're great on the road, and on trails.
Best general purpose pedal in existence!
By Flying Fortress
from Santa Fe, NM
Get real...how many people really 'need' to clip in? If you do, this review ain't for you. Now...for the REST of us, it doesn't GET any better than this! Well made...the things are neither stamped or machined. They appear to be a solid hunk of aluminum that has been investment cast-all one piece. You've got about a dozen 2mm STEEL pins that will grip the sole of your shoe like glue...EASY to keep an even pressure on them as you pull thru the cycle. Added to this is the fact that these have replacable roller bearings, and you've got a pedal for LIFE. These are deep enough to give your feet the support they need. Especially if you ride a recumbent, as I do, you know what I'm talkin' about when I tell you that bent bikes put more pressure on your lower legs and feet than to diamond frames. A typical pair of Welgo plats is NOT going to cut it, as I rediscovered when I started riding my 'old' bent bike again for winter. This is now the 3rd pair I've ordered, and I have to say this is THE BEST thing that Nashbar offers. They're going on my winter 'bent. Highly recommended, whatever you ride. I don't ride a regular roadie anymore, but if I did, I'd not hesitate to put these on it.

NEW WATERFORD - Mayor Shane Patrone advised council that the village was "sitting fairly well on all the funds" during Tuesday's meeting.
He pointed to the water and sewer funds in particular noting there was $10,500 in the water fund and $7,000 in the sewer fund.
"We're doing better than at this time last year," he said and Fiscal Officer Dave Slagle backed up that sentiment up with little to report.
In other business, Administrator Fred Fink said that while the water department has been "chasing brown water reports" all over town for about six weeks "we stopped everything and went back to basics."
Fink said the entire distribution system was flushed repeatedly along with the line from Creek Road to the tower.
"We backwashed the filters every week and shut off the permanganate treatment," Fink said, adding, "we are working to get the chlorine levels down to where it's supposed to be."
He added, "It seems like we're gaining on it and getting less calls. We've been flushing every day ... people have been patient."
He said the wastewater plant is working well and two sewer plugs, one on Allendale and one at the mobile home park, were fixed along with two water line breaks at the mobile home park and two storm drains and catch basins were repaired on Creek Road.
Fink also advised council that two speed limit signs and posts were destroyed and two stop signs were destroyed and they have all be replaced.
The street department has started replacing speed limit signs.
"Snow removal equipment is serviced, painted and ready to go," he said.

Succession Planning in Tempe
Jennifer L. Adams, LCSW
Deputy Public Works Manager
City of Tempe, Arizona
Chair, APWA Women in Public Works Subcommittee
The Public Works Department of Tempe, Arizona has developed a workable succession plan for increasing diversity. Why is succession planning important for all of us? The Conference Board, a business research group, estimates that by 2010, 64 million workers—or 40 percent of the nation's public and private workforce—will have reached retirement age. Our government agencies will especially be greatly affected by the rise in retirements. The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government reported, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2002, that 46 percent of government workers were 45 or older compared to 31.2 percent of workers in the private sector. Given the fact that out of 27,014 APWA members only 2,672 are women, there is much opportunity to transform the public works population by increasing the percentage of women among the workforce.
So, what steps would be required to draw upon this untapped workforce as we work to fill this anticipated gap? Some of the procedures we used in assessing our goals in Tempe included:
First Step: Recognition and Support by Management. The City of Tempe, Arizona, Public Works Department has recently recognized the need to recruit more women and minorities. Management clearly recognized and supported the fact that succession planning needed to become a high priority and that we had a tremendous opportunity to transform the face of Public Works, greatly increasing our diversity. In addition to diversification, we grasped the importance of providing potential financial benefits to women of lower socioeconomic status. We feel compelled to provide a higher earning capacity for women, given the fact that 28.4 percent or one-third of all the female head-of-household population live below the poverty level according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Second Step: Organize. As a result of this recognition, an ethnically dynamic and diverse recruitment team was created, intentionally named "ROC" as an acronym for Recruitment Outreach Committee. The ROC's mission statement is "To encourage, promote and provide networking and employment opportunities to increase diversity in the Tempe Public Works Department." This committee was also designed to undertake the challenging task of expanding our outreach efforts, thereby increasing our chances for recruiting women and minorities.
Third Step: Research. What were women looking for when it came to employment needs? We found that women often have different career motivators than men have. Additionally, we found that women's top five priorities, ranked in order of importance, were the following: 1) enjoying their work; 2) having a pleasant working environment; 3) contributing or making a difference in their world; 4) earning a good income; and 5) valuing flexibility. We developed our recruitment strategies accordingly.
Fourth Step: Budget. We established a budget for outreach. The creation of the budget demonstrated management's commitment to increasing diversity among employees. It also afforded us the opportunity to participate in career fairs with women employees who staffed the booths and fielded questions. A poster board display was created which represented employees from each division. Contact sheets were made available to be completed by interested applicants; we gave away promotional items with our Public Works address and phone number; and the most important handout was a benefits brochure which stressed our enjoyable and flexible work environment.
Fifth Step: Define Next Generation. Through our awareness of the need to recruit the next generation of professionals, we reached out to our local university and community colleges. Along with attending their career fairs we also posted our current job vacancies on their message boards. With this outreach, we became cognizant of the need to offer internships with our neighbors at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe. Our first intern from ASU has been charged with the task of spearheading our recruitment efforts. She brings new, innovative ideas to the table and encourages growth within the Department. She has been able to connect with the women and student generation in a positive and effective manner. Communicating and networking with the college groups is a natural fit for her as she frequently interacts with her peers. She, too, benefits greatly from the experience and receives University credits at the same time. It was important to also be mindful that our outreach efforts be not only limited to educational arenas, but also inclusive of far-reaching partnerships.
Sixth Step: Military Partnerships. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, women in the military comprise almost 15 percent of the total active force of approximately one million three hundred thousand men and women. The military naturally seemed to be an area of interest for recruiting females, as the women transitioning from the military life are often well-trained in heavy equipment operation and are used to working in a predominantly male environment. This greatly increases the pool for non-traditional field employees. As a result, we established partnerships with local military bases and held job fairs for military employees. In addition, we plan to attend transition workshops to further educate women who are concluding their military service. It was our experience that Tempe Public Works has been the only municipality that has attended such military job fairs, which have typically been attended by police and fire recruiters.
Seventh Step: Recruiting for the Future. Our committee has been aggressively assessing the number of employees in Public Works who have served our city for twenty years or more. We have recognized the need to prepare for succession planning, as these workers will typically choose to retire, at their own discretion, within the next 5 to 10 years. We have outlined particular career paths within Public Works and are setting the stage for those who may be interested in filling the vacancies created by such retirements. In order to effectively manage this anticipated turnover, we are evaluating a course of action which will provide our next generation of employees with educational opportunities, leadership training, and mentoring in order that they might be prepared to step into the shoes of our retirees.
This is an exciting time to be involved in public works and particularly to be instruments for change as we face the attrition associated with the retirement of the Baby Boomers. The seven steps we have outlined above are tools the City of Tempe is using to transport our workforce into the future. We are determined to promote diversity, to increase earning potential, and to introduce alternatives for women, who might otherwise choose to work in more traditional occupations. Our roadmap encouraged us to promote diversity and search for innovative solutions. We aspire to continue to reach out to the untapped resources and to provide better opportunities for the entire workforce as the future unfolds.

|Tax season is Mayclins prime time of the year
Rohnert Park CPA has seen several strange requests for tax deductions over the past 30 years
By Dave Williams
Don't expect to see much of Tim Mayclin after April 15.
The certified public accountant and Rohnert Park resident will be finished with his massive workload of filing his clients' income taxes and he'll either hibernate in a deep sleep at home or maybe he'll find rest and relaxation by skipping town.
Until that time, however, Mayclin and just about everyone else who prepares income taxes will be extremely busy.
"The busy time's usually Feb. 1 through April 15…people wait for their W2s and all that other stuff that comes in the mail," said Mayclin, who has been preparing taxes for more than 30 years.
Weather prompts move out west
Mayclin, a Minnesota native, grew up in the suburbs outside Minneapolis. He attended the University of Minnesota for a year before transferring to Metropolitan University in Minnesota. He came to California for one simple reason.
"Oh, the weather," he said. "I don't mind the cold in Minnesota, but shoveling snow is a pain in the butt. So, I was like, 'let's get the heck out of here.'"
He and his wife, Charlene, have four children and eight grandchildren. Mayclin has been involved with the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has performed numerous acts of charity and service.
During his time preparing taxes, Mayclin has seen some rather unusual requests for deductions but takes it all with a laugh.
"One guy wanted to deduct his dog for security purposes," he said. "I had another one who wanted to deduct his automobile because he put a sign on it and wanted the deduction as advertising. I've had a few people who have wanted to deduct dogs as dependents. When I see things like that, I just tell them, 'here are the rules.'"
There was a time, back in the 1980s, when such deductions would not draw a second look from the Internal Revenue Service. But the rules have been tightened and such deductions won't pass muster.
"Back in the late 80s, you didn't have to have a Social Security Number to take a dependent," Mayclin said. "You could put the name and that was about it. The year the IRS forced everyone to have a Social Security Number when they put a dependent on a return, they lost like 3 million in dependents. There were a lot of people claiming dogs and sick kids."
Returning clients to sanity
Mayclin has had clients who are strictly by the book when it comes to filing their returns and others who aren't so forthcoming. When he comes across some who try to circumvent the rules, Mayclin said he has to bring them back to some semblance of sanity. Most of his clients don't want to take the risk of going to jail.
But tax law, Mayclin says, can be tricky on a number of fronts.
"The thing about tax law is most of it is gray area," Mayclin said "There are certain things that are left to interpretation. If we plan ahead, you might be able to change a few things and take another deduction rather than doing something a certain way and save some money."
Even when tax laws are supposedly clarified by either the state legislature or Congress, there always seems to be a bit of confusion among taxpayers. And confusion usually results in a spike of business.
The biggest mistakes he said his clients make are trying to do their taxes themselves and doing no tax planning whatsoever. He also suggests people hire bookkeepers to help simplify things at tax time. Many times, he says clients put no thought into their tax preparation, as they wait for their forms to arrive in the mail and then give them to him and tell him to "do the best you can."
Prepartion is key
Proper preparation, he says, can give a person access to money they'd have to wait months to get from the government. For example, twice in the last 15 years, California didn't have money and delayed payment on tax refunds until October.
"A lot of people are afraid of money and don't understand it," Mayclin said. "They use withholding as a forced savings account so they can get that big refund check from the government. If you set it up correctly, you can have access to that money all year long instead of waiting to get it.
"We try to help people understand how to use numbers on financial statements so they can make and keep more of their money."

Date Climbed: Oct 14, 2006
|late start and it was burning hot hiking in the sun. A long approach for the short sections of scrambling (2 chimney for north summit and couple moves for the south summit). I guess I was just expecting more but I am just glad there was hands on scrambling. Found the south summit to be eaiser to ascend than the north summit. The mountain is loose in general and require extra concentration for traversing the mildly exposed ledge on route to south summit. Good view of Mt. Louis at the pass.

In 2004, there was only a summit book on the South summit. I had signed one on the North summit the previous year. I saw sheep in 2003 and a well habituated white tailed buck in 2004 (in one of the most picturesque meadows in the Canadian Rockies). In 2005 I found a cat kill on an avalanche slope and observed a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers and a Mountain Bluebird.

The Practice of Law in the
Coast Guard
Core Competencies of Coast Guard Lawyers
Legal Knowledge.
Ethics & Professional
Client Relationships.
The Coast Guard Legal Program is a "full-service" legal support organization, providing legal advice and counsel for any and all requirements the service's decision makers place on us. This is done within 10 general legal practice areas: Criminal Law/Military Justice, Operations, International Activities, Civil Advocacy, Environmental Law, Procurement Law, Internal Organizational Law, Regulations & Administrative Law, Legislative Support and Legal Assistance.
As an armed force, the Coast Guard is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Chief Counsel is designated the Coast Guard's Judge Advocate General (senior military attorney) and military law specialists serve as defense counsel and prosecutors for military courts-martial and as military judges at the trial and appellate level. Judge Advocates assigned as appellate counsel (both for the government and defense) brief and argue cases before the Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, and the Supreme Court of the United States. Coast Guard attorneys serve as Staff Judge Advocates to Coast Guard commanders providing advice on military criminal matters.
Legal counsel and enforcement guidance in key mission areas, including: maritime homeland security, enforcement of laws and treaties, particularly drug laws, fisheries laws, customs laws, environmental laws, and immigration law, intelligence, search and rescue, icebreaker operations, intelligence law; national security and defense operations, marine environmental protection; port safety and security, including Captain of the Port functions and homeland security, maritime defense zone responsibilities, and other Coast Guard missions as well as in the following general areas: vessel inspection and commercial vessel safety; merchant vessel personnel, including review of appeals by merchant seamen of suspension and revocation orders entered by Administrative Law Judges; investigations of marine casualties and violations of law by merchant mariners; appeal adjudication for civil penalty cases; determines the navigable status of U. S. waters.
Coast Guard attorneys serve as advisors or representatives of the United States at most of the several bodies of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), headquartered in London, including the Assembly, the Facilitation Committee, the Marine Safety Committee, the Safety of Navigation subcommittee and the Radio-communications and Search and Rescue subcommittee and the Legal Committee. The principal and alternate U.S. Representative to the IMO Legal Committee are Coast Guard attorneys. One Coast Guard attorney is currently assigned as liaison to the Department of State, another is attached to the Department of Defense's Institute for International Legal Studies.
Actively manage an extensive claims program under several federal statutes. These involve not only adjudicating claims made against the agency, but also collecting monies owed the government due to penalties assessed for violations of federal law, for damage to Coast Guard property, and for cleanup & recovery costs. Coast Guard attorneys are actively involved in a wide variety of civil litigation, from simple tort defense to Constitutional challenges. Two Judge Advocates are assigned to the Department of Justice where they provide valuable Coast Guard experience to DOJ attorneys.
Coast Guard attorneys in the Office of Procurement Law at Headquarters, at the Legal Service Command, and in some field legal offices, provide contract law advice to management, technical, and contracting officials at all levels of the Coast Guard. This ranges from daily advice to field level contracting officers to advice on major construction, acquisition, and procurements. Advice is provided from the earliest planning stages of procurement through contract negotiation and award as well as through contract administration, which may include action on claims and contract litigation.
Legal services are provided in support of Coast Guard compliance with federal, state and local environmental requirements. Lawyers advise field commanders, program managers and Headquarters units, regarding federal, state and local requirements that may affect or constrain Coast Guard activities. They represent the Coast Guard, either directly or through the Department of Justice (DOJ), in environmental enforcement actions against the Coast Guard, environmental citizen suits, and challenges to Coast Guard activities brought under environmental statutes.
This practice area encompasses a wide range of legal subjects with perhaps the largest number of clients of any of our practice areas. Coast Guard attorneys provide legal advice on issues including federal fiscal law, gift acceptance and standards of ethical conduct for government employees, management, military and civilian personnel law, civil rights, health care, privacy and the release of information. To some extent, Coast Guard attorneys do this work wherever they are. Attorneys at the Office of General Law at Headquarters and at the Legal Service Command provide advice and represent the Coast Guard on matters involving the Merit Systems Protection Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and labor relations. Legal counsel is provided on matters involving the acquisition, maintenance and disposition of real property including leases & licenses. The Office of Member Advocacy & Legal Assistance is involved in personnel law representation of Coast Guard members in physical disability cases.
Responsible for the legal sufficiency, format, style and placement in the Code of Federal Regulations of all Coast Guard public regulatory documents and related rulemaking matters under the statutory authority of the Commandant. The office provides legal counsel, review, drafting assistance and other support services for all rulemaking activities by Coast Guard Headquarters and field managers. Serves as Legal Counsel to the Coast Guard Marine Safety Council and provides Executive Secretary and administrative services to the council.
Drafting, reviewing and coordinating the clearance of the legislative program for the Coast Guard, usually in the form of the annual Coast Guard authorization bill for future fiscal years. The office coordinates agency review of pending legislation, Congressional testimony, proposed executive orders, and other agencies' reviews of pending legislation. Draft departmental reviews letters and provide Coast Guard comments regarding draft statements of Administration policy on pending legislation.
The Coast Guard, as do the other military services, provides personal legal services to eligible beneficiaries. This program, provided in accordance with Title 10, United States Code, Section 1044, makes attorneys available to provide advice, counsel and in some cases representation on many civil legal matters including estate planning, financial issues, landlord/tenant & personal real property, domestic & family law, application of the Service member's Civil Relief Act and other Federal laws impacting military personnel in the civilian community, and taxes.

Cheryl Burke has said that Rob Kardashian is "turning into a man" and "changing his way of thinking about himself" as he performs at her side week after week on Dancing with the Stars.
Well, he also believes he's changing the way others think about him.
"This show is definitely showing [me] in a newer light," he told PEOPLE after Monday's performances. "I feel like [people are] starting to see a different side of me."
Rob, 24, is enjoying his stint on a reality show other than Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "I'm sick of all that and I'm trying to branch away from all that," he said.
In fact, he believes others have a warped perception of him – that he doesn't work and that he's a permanent houseguest of his sisters. "I live on my own. I have had a job before," he says. "People don't know a lot about my life before all this."
And this new Rob isn't going anywhere, despite what may or may not happen on Dancing with the Stars. "People will see a lot of different stuff to come," he promises.
Rob and Cheryl will face the results on Tuesday's show (9 p.m. ET) on ABC.

Recently, I read a seriously startling study that changed the way I eat. The British Medical Journal reported that researchers had found reducing sodium intake slashed cardio vascular-disease risk by 25 to 30 percent. That's a big deal!
Most Americans consume more than twice the recommended daily sodium limit of 2,300 milligrams – the amount in just 1 teaspoon of table salt. The New York City Health Department launched a program to encourage manufacturers to cut sodium in packaged foods in half – a plan that could save 150,000 lives nationwide, every year.
Here are five easy ways to cut sodium from your diet:
1. Don't add it if you can't taste it. As a rule, I don't add salt to boiling water for pasta or potatoes. I prefer to add salt to a dish when its impact will be strongest – usually at the end of cooking. A little salt goes farther if it's sprinkled on a food just before serving; you'll taste it in every bite.
2. Use sea salt. Even if you're watching your sodium intake, you can enjoy sea salts. While, gram for gram, sea salts contain as much sodium as table salt, their larger crystals and unique flavors, derived from various sources, may result in your using less salt overall, says Kyle Shadix, director at Nutrition-Plus Culinary Consultants in New York City.
3. Use fresh ingredients whenever you can. You'll save umpteen milligrams of sodium by making your own sauces and soups, and simmering dried beans until soft rather than opening a can. Make these staples more convenient by cooking them in big batches, and freezing in single-serving portions for later use.
4. Use convenience foods wisely. Opt for frozen (unsauced) vegetables rather than canned – and when you can't, seek out low- or reduced-sodium varieties. Rinse the foods in a colander before using to get rid of some salt. Cut back or eliminate additional salt in a recipe that calls for canned goods.
5. Look for low-sodium products. A can of soup or broth – or any food, really – with a "reduced sodium" label may actually have as much sodium as a "regular" version of another brand. The term "reduced sodium" – also called "lower sodium" – is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and means only that the product contains at least 25 percent less than its original version. Look for "low sodium" on labels: Those products can't have more than 140 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams (about 336 milligrams per cup).

It�s been a big month for Rich Millard, chief conductor for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
On Thursday, he was interviewed via Web link by 9News in Denver. And earlier this month he was honored at the Discover Colorado Rally at the state Capitol.
Millard says one of his favorite parts of the job is that you are seeing the scenery through the eyes of the passengers, and you see things you haven�t seen before.
When asked about the Skype technology that was used to enable the remote interview in Durango, Millard said, �I think it�s the amazing part of the age we live in. You can be in the most remote location that you could possibly think of and still be connected to the world.�

Two seats were up for grabs tonight for those interested in serving on the Mount Pleasant Waterworks Commission. Longtime commissioner Dr. Bill Golightly chose not to seek reelection.
John Burn, Alyssondra Campaigne, incumbent Rick Crosby and Dolph Rodenberg faced each other in the chance to take over the two available seats.
Crosby and Burn were the top two vote getters.
John Burn chose not to seek reelection to Mount Pleasant Town Council, which he was awarded in 2009. "I have learned so much about the water and wastewater industry and the effects the services provided by Mount Pleasant Waterworks have on our community today and in the future. In the coming years I would like to focus my attention on the clean, safe water and wastewater services provided by Mount Pleasant Waterworks," said Burn.
Rick Crosby has served 15 years on Mount Pleasant Waterworks Commission and is currently vice chairman. Crosby also serves as the chair of the Mount Pleasant Waterworks Personnel Committee and is a member of the Town of Mount Pleasant Economic Development Committee. In 2013, Crosby was appointed by Major Swails to service on the Economic Development Advisory Board. During Crosby's tenure with Mount Pleasant Waterworks he has been instrumental in the financial stability of Mount Pleasant Waterworks which has allowed MPW to continue to provide customers with safe clean water and wastewater service at the lowest rates in Charleston County.

That looks interesting. Are there any markings of the rifle at all? I'd get out the good old magnifying glass and give it a real going over. I think it is safe to say your rifle is made after 1830.
Do you have anymore photos?:cool:
November 27, 2012, 02:12 PM
The barrel is 42" and I looked at parts of it under a microscope. Couldn't find and markings. It came from the family that was in northwest NC.
November 27, 2012, 02:23 PM
Few more pics.
November 27, 2012, 02:33 PM
I think it looks like an ol' Hawken rifle. :)
November 27, 2012, 02:36 PM
Thanks! That gives me a direction to look into.
November 27, 2012, 04:17 PM
should be some marks under the barrel by the breech but I don't know if you want to take it apart.Looks like it's been together a long time.
November 27, 2012, 04:27 PM
It looks like someone has varnished the stock at some time long ago.
I wouldn't try cleaning any of the grime off it until I had it looked at by a professional appraiser.
I would oil the metal parts to slow or stop further rusting.
November 27, 2012, 04:28 PM
My guess is Southern mountain rifle. Some times called a "hog rifle"
Jim, West PA
November 27, 2012, 10:43 PM
That is without a doubt the most beautiful rifle i have ever had the pleasure to see.http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=171525&d=1347382091
If that thing could talk, i'd ask a hunnert questions 'bout it's maker.
That muzzle suggests to me that the barrel was hand forged.
A couple screws are way wrong but the rest looks to be there.
It is not rusty. It has an honest patina.
November 27, 2012, 11:08 PM
Based on the extreme drop to the stock I'd bet that the origin is likely Va. or W.va..........lockwork and triggers don't fit the Tenn. style commonly, but there was an awful lot of variation and copying. I'd suggest you contact the NMLRA, they've some real experts on board that can reliably steer you.
November 28, 2012, 12:44 AM
There is a chart of rifling types in Ned Roberts's book, "The Muzzleloading Cap Lock Rifle". The 7 land and groove pattern with the lands very wide in comparison to the grooves is called a "Kentucky" type of rifling. It's either "average" or "narrow" style; according to the chart the "narrow" style is defined by the width of the base of the land being noticeably wider than the top of the land...can't tell for sure from the photo provided.
I am not an expert on these, just happened to remember there was a chart in a book.
I agree that it should be appraised before doing anything else.
What caliber is it?
November 28, 2012, 12:51 AM
Jim, where the heck is everybody getting all these smileys? Haha!
Jim, West PA
November 28, 2012, 01:03 AM
I git 'em from other forums and save 'em to my pictures.
After i use 'em once here as 'pics', i then go to User Options/Atatchments and then copy thier URL and the use the "insert image" function to use 'm more'n once.
November 28, 2012, 09:24 AM
I did not see the 7 little dents in the muzzle around the circumference of the bore opening when I looked at it earlier. Those are probably there to help align a "false muzzle", a separate piece of the barrel that was used to start the bullet squarely into the rifling.
By any chance did you find something that looks like a short piece of barrel with 7 little projections matching those dents? If so, keep it!
November 28, 2012, 09:43 AM
No, but I have the hand sewn leather pouch and what appears to be a true horn, powder horn.
November 28, 2012, 09:14 PM
I think the dimples surrounding the muzzle are just decorative; they look too shallow to keep a false muzzle in place very well. I've also seen federal eagles, stars, and caliber/gauge markings on rifle muzzles.

We had a guy here who was expert in Carolina rifles and could probably have told you a good deal about yours even lacking makers marks. Unfortunately he is since deceased. His wife paid off the mortgage out of his gun collection because he had listed who would buy what and for how much in his inventory.

Very crescent shaped buttplate suggests its post-Federal period (past 1792). However, since it has a percussion lock, I'd push it to 1840 minimum.
Long tangs were characteristic of the Southern Rifle as is the lack of a sideplate. Another characteristic is the lack of relief carving or other decorative things (inlay, engraving). This was clearly a working gun meant to be carried in the field.
November 29, 2012, 09:34 AM
Well that part of the family were farmers in Avery Co. This was probably my gg-grandfathers and my g-grandfather got it then my grandfather was the only son. My grandfather died when I was 3.
November 29, 2012, 10:12 AM
Really awesome family heirloom!
November 29, 2012, 03:11 PM
Here are some close up photos.
November 29, 2012, 03:34 PM
Wonderful! Whatever you do, DON'T try to clean it up or "fix" anything on it!!! Leave it exactly as it is! Maybe blow it off with compressed air, but I'm not sure I'd even oil anything until I had it appraised.
And you should get a small wooden dowel rod, gently slide it down the barrel until it stops, mark the rod at the muzzle, and then compare the dowel rod to the outside of the rifle, with the mark at the muzzle. So you can detemine if it's loaded or not. It's very possible there may still be a powder charge and ball in that thing after all these years.
If you line up the mark on the rod with the end of the mzzle, then see where the other end is at, that'll give you an idea how deep the barrel is. If the dowel rod goes past to the flash hole, I'd wager it's safe. But if it stops very far away from the flash hole, I'd handle it very carefully! There's a lot of other guys here way smarter than me about this, I just thought I'd mention this as a warning.
December 1, 2012, 03:07 PM
+1 on the above. Heed this warning!
If the stick comes up short, have someone knowledgable unload it for you.
I bought an 1815 musket recently that turned out to be loaded with pieces of hand forged nails. Steel shot is not a new invention.
I also know a family that had an old percussion pistol that at least three generations of small boys (and their friends, don't ask) have used to snap caps with. In the mid -80's it suddenly went BOOM!
Luckely no one was hurt except for powder burns.
It was probably loaded around the turn of the last centuary.
The condition is beautiful, get it appraised as is and if you want to preserve it you could ask a museum that exhibits guns what to do.
4v50 Gary
December 1, 2012, 10:01 PM
Ryden - you kept those nails, didn't you?
December 2, 2012, 10:18 AM
Another place to look,would be www.trackofthewolf.com ,they deal in authentic muzzleloaders every day,and my be able to help identify your piece.
December 2, 2012, 01:33 PM
Ryden - you kept those nails, didn't you?
Nah, couldn't be bothered
They might still be around somewhere in the shop, dunno, but it wasn't really anything worth saving. I did try to set fire to the powder though and it burnt, very badly due to soaking in penetrating oil, but it still burnt.

A zebrafish bmyb mutation causes genome instability and increased cancer susceptibility

|A major goal of cancer research has been to identify genes that contribute to cancer formation. The similar pathology between zebrafish and human tumors, as well as the past success of large-scale genetic screens in uncovering human disease genes, makes zebrafish an ideal system in which to find such new genes. Here, we show that a zebrafish forward genetic screen uncovered multiple cell proliferation mutants including one mutant, crash&burn (crb), that represents a loss-of-function mutation in bmyb, a transcriptional regulator and member of a putative proto-oncogene family. crb mutant embryos have defects in mitotic progression and spindle formation, and exhibit genome instability. Regulation of cyclin B levels by bmyb appears to be the mechanism of mitotic accumulation in crb. Carcinogenesis studies reveal increased cancer susceptibility in adult crb heterozygotes. Gene-expression signatures associated with loss of bmyb in zebrafish are also correlated with conserved signatures in human tumor samples, and down-regulation of the B-myb signature genes is associated with retention of p53 function. Our findings show that zebrafish screens can uncover cancer pathways, and demonstrate that loss of function of bmyb is associated with cancer.

Net-a-porter announces menswear e-shop
The Net-a-porter group celebrates its tenth-year anniversary today and unlike most companies that go out with an announcement saying "Hey, look at us, we're 10 years old and 10 years strong!" they give us something worth telling you about.
The group has just unveiled its dedicated menswear shopping site – Mr. Porter – which is touted as the first global shopping destination of its kind.
Mr. Porter will launch for the Spring/Summer 2011 season in January 2011 and will offer an edited product selection of the best in men's style, from global designer labels to niche specialist brands alongside original editorial and style advice. Yup, exactly like Net-a-porter, the new retail site is going to have its own magazine, which we might be more excited about than the clothes themselves.
By the start of next year, shoppers can feast on over 60 lust-worthy brands including Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Lanvin, YSL, Margiela, Balmain, Dunhill, Margaret Howell, Rick Owens, John Lobb and MR by the designer Roland Mouret.
Anyone who wants to be among the first shoppers on the site can sign up to receive notifications from Mr. Porter. Might we suggest discount vouchers to get the ball rolling? Because unlike women, most men need an incentive to go shopping. Please take a note of that, Mr. Porter people. And please start working on a menswear version of theOutnet.com as well!
Now for the obligatory quote from Net-a-porter…
"This is an incredibly exciting new venture for us and one we have been planning for some time. We have always said that NET-A-PORTER will remain a woman's brand and now we are ready to create a dedicated men's shopping destination entirely conceived with the stylish man in mind. We have a ready-made customer base for our men's business.
All of Net-a-porter customers have a man in their lives in some capacity and 59% of them are married or living with their partners. Three million unique users trust and love Net-a-porter's service and will be invited to make a purchase for the men in their lives. Additionally we look forward to welcoming a new group of super stylish men who join us to shop for themselves with the same level of service, dedication and commitment that women have had for the last decade."

Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Lightning associated with the severe thunderstorms has caused most of the power outages Wednesday, SCE&G told the Journal Scene.
In a Twitter conversation with @SCEGnews, the company reported that lightninig in the area played a significant role but crews have gotten the number of outages down.
As of 1:38 p.m. Wednesday, the SCE&G outage website reported 164 power outages in Dorchester County.
At 11:24 a.m. there were more than 3,000 homes without power in the area.
Total, the county has 54,940 households registered with SCE&G.
While earlier in the day Dorchester County had the highest number of outages in the Lowcountry, the number has been significantly reduced. When Dorchester had more than 3,000 outages, Berkeley and Charleston counties were reporting 46 and 155 outages, respectiely.
The National Weather Service has listed an advisory for minor flooding within Dorchester and Charleston counties.
NWS has also said the severe thunderstorms may lead to damaging winds...large hail...and possibly tornadoes.
This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
