The past 30 years has seen more "hot" (orange), "very hot" (red) and "extremely hot" (brown) summers, compared to a base period defined in this study from 1951 to 1980

Hotter summers have become the norm from 1980 to present compared to 1951 to 1980 (the base period)
NASA researchers have claimed to find new evidence for everyone's favorite topic:
global warming
James Hansen, study leader from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), as well as GISS researchers Makiko Sato and Reto Ruedy, have concluded that summer heat waves (mainly in the U.S. Midwest) have become the norm over the last 30 years compared to a base period 30 years before 1980 -- and it's because of global warming.
Their study works like this: the team collected mean summer temperatures from 1951 to 1980. This was considered the base period for the study. They then looked at the surface temperature data from the last 30 years (1980 until now) to determine whether
extreme heat events
were increasing.
From there, the team wanted to see how much heating and cooling occurred in both time periods. To do this, they used a bell curve, which is a common tool that places the middle ground at the top of the bell (for instance, if this were a grading curve, a "C" would be at the top while the next tier down on each side would be a "B" and a "D," and the bottom of the bell would be an "A" and an "F). In this case, the top of the bell would be mean temperature, the next tier down would be "cold" on one side and "hot" on the other, then "very cold" and "extremely cold" on one side moving down while "very hot" and "extremely hot" are moving down the bell on the other side.
Researchers then applied mean temperatures from 1980 until present, and found that 1980s, 1990s and 2000s fell more to the hot side than cold. The curve widened and flattened as well, which means there was a broader range of variability. This is important because Hansen once predicted that global warming's connection to extreme events would become more apparent in the decades from 1980 to present, but natural variability can play a role too and actually mask the trend. It was important to distinguish the two.
This wider curve created the new "extremely hot" category, which was barely there in the base period. However, hot has become considered normal in the last 30 years. To be more specific, 75 percent of land area on Earth had "hot" summers in the last decade alone, where only 33 percent had "hot" summers from 1951 to 1980 total.
According to the researchers, an "extremely hot" summer is considered a mean summer temperature that is experienced by less than one percent of Earth's land area during the base period. But since 2006 alone, approximately 10 percent of land area across the Northern Hemisphere had a summer like this.
"This summer, people are seeing extreme heat and agricultural impacts," said Hansen. "We're asserting that this is casually
connected to global warming
, and in this paper, we present the scientific evidence for that."
The study noted "extremely hot" summers in other areas besides just the U.S. Midwest, like Texas, Mexico and Oklahoma in 2011 and Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Middle East in 2010.

RE: Another short-sighted study
Yes, there have been warmer periods in the planet's history, and the climate scientists are very busy studying these periods to understand what we can expect in the future. James Hansen has written a number of articles about these periods (see his book, The Storms of My Grandchildren). The reason why Hansen argued that we should limit emissions to 350ppm, instead of 450ppm like the rest of the scientific community, is his study of past warm periods.
If you look at the 4.6 billion history of Earth, the majority of the Earth's history has been in warm periods, rather than cool periods like we have now (see Robert Strom's Hot House). The Earth is currently in a 10000 year period of stable cool weather, which has permitted the rise of modern agriculture and civilizations. If the Earth slips into a warmer climate, it is very likely that human civilization will collapse.
The Earth has experienced 5 major die-offs in its history which were caused by climate change. It is very likely that we will provoke the destruction of the majority of species on this planet if we change the climate.
Even if we don't kill off most of the species, we will make it very hard for our grains like corn and wheat to grow, so we will likely experience mass starvation. One study studied the effect of adding extra CO2 and ground-level ozone (caused by burning fossil fuels) to crops and found that that these gasses cause weeds to grow faster, but retard the growth of grains. The study predicts that we will have 20% lower yields per hectare by mid-century and 30% lower yields in China. (See chapter 2 of George Monbiot's Heat for reference to this study.)
Considering the fact that we will have 9 billion people on the planet to feed by mid-century and vast swathes of land in Northern China, Australia, the US Southwest and Subsaharan Africa are turning into infertile desert, it is highly likely that we will have massive food shortages.
At the same time, the extra CO2 in the atmosphere is entering the oceans, creating carbonic acid which eats away the microscopic shells on phytoplankton, destroying the ocean's food chain. Most of the fish will be gone by mid-century, meaning that humanity has to search for another source of protein.
Finally, the glaciers will be mostly gone by mid-century, meaning that the fresh water sources for most Asian rivers (Ganges, Mekong, Yellow, Yang-tse, Indus, etc) will dry up, ending the wet-rice cultivation that currently feeds 2 billion Asians. Likewise, the Andean glaciers and the entire Amazonian basin will dry up, converting into a desert or dry plain.
All of these things will probably happen due to climate change and it isn't something to flippantly joke about if you care about the future of humanity.

"Every time I come away from granting a wish, my life is changed for the better," says Quintana, 65. "I feel that this was put into my heart for a reason."
Since 1994, Quintana has raised funds through her nonprofit Western Wishes to help more than 600 terminally ill or disabled kids. She has arranged visits with country star Reba McEntire and bull riding legend Tuff Hedeman and even bought a girl with cystic fibrosis her very own horse.
Kim Dorr says she'll never forget what Quintana did for her five-year-old son Kaleb, who suffers from TAR Syndrome, a rare blood disorder.
"For most of his life, Kaleb's biggest wish was to be a cowboy," says Kim, 34 of Wagoner, OK. "Donnalyn made him her poster kid in 2011 and Kaleb got to travel all over Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada to rodeos and meet all of his cowboy heroes."
He even got to meet Hedeman, his favorite.
"When he met Tuff, his face lit up," she says, "and he immediately ran to him and gave him a big hug. It was one of those melt-your-heart moments. Anybody who was in that room will never forget it."
A Promise FulfilledQuintana, who grew up in a family of rodeo professionals, first began to think of helping kids when she read about a young South Dakota competitive rodeo rider who was battling cancer in 1990.
"I thought, 'Someone should get [rodeo star] Roy Cooper to give him a call to brighten his day,'" she recalls.
Before she could do anything to help him, Quintana learned he had died. She was devastated.
"I thought, 'Could I have done something to make a difference in his life?' " she says.
Later that year, as she was wheeled into surgery to remove a throat tumor, she made a vow: "I said, 'Lord, if I survive, I'll help others like him.' "
Help from 90210After actor Luke Perry of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame portrayed rodeo legend Lane Frost in the 1994 movie 8 Seconds, he has attended fundraisers for Quintana and met many of the kids she helps.
"Donnalyn's challenge is a unique one because the rodeo world is a subculture in many ways," he says. "I really appreciate the commitment that Donnalyn has. Every kid's a kid, they all have dreams, things they want to do."
He says he has been inspired by the kids he's met and Quintana's efforts to make them smile.
"She's a friend to everybody she's ever met," he says. "She's just trying to make sure people get to feel a little better. She has made it possible for hundreds of kids to live their dreams and she's given them a reason to hope."
Part of the FamilyLast June, Chandler Davis, 6, of Glen Rose, Texas, who has a rare pancreatic disorder, got a wish fulfilled when he was sworn in as an honorary deputy sheriff and given a uniform and badge.
"Chandler was on cloud nine for days," says his mom, Jennifer Yocham, 25. "Donnalyn is family to us now."

Book Review: Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional by Dr. Dale Archer
Crown Archetype (2012), $25
By Jessica Friedel, NAMI Communications Intern
Although Dr. Dale Archer is a board certified psychiatrist who has been an expert in his field for over two decades, his new book Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional, proves that he has maintained an ability to provide unencumbered, jargon saturated advice. A New York Times best seller, the book reexamines what it means for a trait to be deemed as weak or negative and turns it on its head to view it as something that can be positive and productive.
Some of the traits Dr. Archer mentions are: being adventurous (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ADHD) being shy (social anxiety disorder), being hyper-alert (generalized anxiety disorder), and having high energy (bipolar disorder).
Dr. Archer believes that today's society is often too quick to medicate people when in fact those people are more than capable of harnessing and applying their idiosyncrasies to create perfectly functioning lifestyles. This is not to say medication is not beneficial to many people, however. For many, medication can serve as important component in improving the quality of life.
Archer strings the book together with witty anecdotes so that the reader enjoys the novel while simultaneously gaining a new perspective. His words flow on the page, making the book a quick and easy read and uplifting by encouraging the reader to have a more positive mindset. He understands the negative effect of some connotations people have towards mental illnesses and attempts to break those connections and reclassify the disorders with positive, encouraging words.
Overall, the book cleverly puts a new twist on how we think about certain personality traits and anyone who reads it will take away an encouraging message. Archer's convictions and message are strong, and he is on a mission to change the vernacular and in turn the mindset of the field of mental health: instead of viewing some traits as liabilities, let's look at them as hidden strengths.

The Curve have scored 18 runs total in their nine home games, and while that's a small sample, it's at the very least a troublesome trend in the early going.
Altoona struggled offensively again Saturday night in a 3-1 loss to Erie before 3,926 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field. It was the 1,000th regular-season home game in franchise history, but the offense didn't give the home crowd much to cheer.
The Curve have been productive on the road, averaging 5.0 runs per game, but it's been a much different story averaging only 2.0 runs at home.
"What's the secret?" Curve manager Carlos Garcia said before the question could even be asked. "I don't know. Maybe they spend more time with their family here. Those stats, sometimes it's hard to figure it out because when you're at home, you're comfortable, you take advantage of the home field, and we're not doing that this year."
Jameson Taillon started and went 5 innings for the Curve, giving up three runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. Taillon said he felt like he had his best stuff of the season, with a fastball that topped out at 99 mph and a good changeup, but he twice ran into trouble after retiring the first two batters of an inning and took the loss.
"One thing that I did see today is he needs to be better focused to close an inning down, because he has two quick outs, and to get the third out it took him a long time to do that," Garcia said.
Fact Box
Covering the bases
LEADING OFF: Pirates RHP Charlie Morton will make a rehab start for the Curve today, his second with the club. He is scheduled to throw five innings or 80 pitches. Morton, who had Tommy John surgery in June, threw four shutout innings for the Curve on Tuesday at Richmond.
SAFE AT FIRST: Susan Mielnik of Hollidaysburg, who has never missed a Curve home contest, was honored Saturday for attending her 1,000th consecutive home game. The Curve "retired" her seat in section 316, meaning it will never be sold to anyone else, plus presented her with a personalized jersey, flowers and a proclamation.
STEALING SECOND: The Curve revealed their top 10 moments in regular-season home games. The top five were: 1. Brad Eldred's "Big Country Weekend" that saw him mash home run after home run to earn a promotion to Triple-A in 2005; 2. a 19-inning win in 2010, the longest game in franchise history; 3. Adam Hyzdu's jersey retirement in 2000; 4. the first no-hitter in Curve history in 2002 (three pitchers combined); 5. Stephen Strasburg's minor league debut in 2010 for Harrisburg.
ROUNDING THIRD: 1B Andrew Lambo went 0-for-4 to snap his 11-game hitting streak and 21-game on-base streak. 3B Oscar Tejeda went 3-for-4 in his second game with the Curve after coming down from Triple-A Indianapolis.
SAFE AT HOME: LHP Jhonathan Ramos was called up from high-A Bradenton, where he had an 0.63 ERA in five relief appearances. IF Justin Howard was assigned to rookie-level Jamestown's roster to open up a spot for Ramos.
- Cory Giger
Taillon issued a two-out walk in the fourth inning, then gave up a single before Jamie Johnson tripled home both runners for a 2-0 Erie lead.
In the sixth, Taillon struck out James McCann on a nasty curveball for what would have been the third out, but the ball skipped away for a wild pitch and allowed Johnson to reach. James Robbins ripped the next pitch for an RBI double that ended Taillon's night.
"I've never had any issues with it," Taillon said of finishing off innings after getting two quick outs. "My last two starts I have a little bit. You get two quick outs, you've just got to put your foot on the gas and end the inning quick."
Taillon (2-2) has done well going deep into games, but it took him 96 pitches to get through 5 2/3 innings.
"As a starter, that's your No. 1 job is to go deep and keep your team in the game and compete, so I feel like I've done a pretty good job doing that so far," Taillon said.
Erie starter Kyle Lobstein (2-2) gave up just one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in eight innings. Justin Souza pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
The Curve were shut out until the seventh, when Carlos Paulino singled home Alex Dickerson. That's all the damage the offense did, though, and as a team the Curve are hitting .212 at home, compared to .254 on the road.
"I think it's just chance," Dickerson said of the big disparity. "We're only three-and-a-half weeks in, we can't really judge anything like that in three-and-a-half weeks."
Garcia has been able to judge one key thing so far.
"We're not putting good at-bats together," the manager said. "We don't battle at the plate with two strikes. Sometimes we try to hit the long ball with two strikes; it doesn't work like that. At 0-2 the pitcher's got you [in a hole], so now you've got to try to stay inside of the ball, fight, fight, fight until you get a pitch that you can put a good swing on. We're not doing that right now."
Game recap
Key player: Erie LHP Kyle Lobstein gave up just one run in eight innings and struck out eight.
Key play: RF Jamie Johnson's two-run triple in the fourth gave Erie a 2-0 lead.
Key stat: The Curve are averaging just 2.0 runs per game and hitting .212 as a team at home.
How they scored
Top 4th: McCann walked, Robbins singled, both scored on Johnson triple (0-2).
Top 6th: McCann struck out, reached on wild pitch, scored on Robbins double (0-3).
Bottom 7th: Dickerson reached on fielder's choice, scored on Paulino single (1-3).

LEWISTOWN - Frigid weather has never hindered hunters from rising before the sun to climb into the dark and dense woods of the Juniata Valley.
Distance, it seems hasn't been an obstacle either.
Hunters from far and wide descended upon both our area and the Keystone State Monday on the first day of rifle deer season in search of "the great buck," or at least to attain a fable of the one that got away.
New Hampshire resident John Wileman, originally from Lewistown, returned to the area to assist his 12-year-old nephew in his third successful year of hunting.
"I've hunted in Pennsylvania all my life. I don't want to hunt anywhere else," he said.
Wileman is not alone. With the added convenience of the rifle deer season beginning during the Thanksgiving weekend, it makes it easier for visitors to stay an extra day or two to experience Pennsylvania's bucolic landscapes.
Compared with other states, Pennsylvania is famous for its plethora of deer that graze throughout the cornfields and mountain sides.
"In New Hampshire, you can sit in the woods for three weeks and never see a squirrel. That's why I'll always hunt back home," Wileman said to explain his pilgrimage back to the Juniata Valley.
Between those who come from out of state and the numerous Pennsylvania residents, about 750,000 hunters are expected to take part in the two-week-long season, which ends Dec. 8.
Hunters in the Juniata Valley can bring their legally-killed antlered deer to The Sentinel office at 352 Sixth St. in the Pleasant Acres section of Lewistown to enter the Big Buck Contest. The entire deer is preferred, but the head and the hide are acceptable as long as the tag remains attached.
Anyone wishing to enter the contest can stop by The Sentinel anytime between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, 6 to 7 p.m. Sunday. After 4:30 p.m. on Monday-Friday, hunters must call to ensure a photographer is present before coming to The Sentinel. No other times are available on Saturday or Sunday.
No submitted photos of deer kills will be accepted for the competition, but are welcome for publication on our weekly Outdoors page.
A total of 20 deer were entered on Monday. The deadline for entry into the contest is 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 10. The competition features both adult and junior/mentored youth divisions.
While the season got off to a good start in our area, there were some special restrictions on some Pennsylvania hunters as they hit the woods Monday because of a deadly disease found in captive deer earlier this year.
Hunters who take deer in a 600-square-mile area covering parts of York and Adams counties must have them tested for chronic wasting disease. The neurological infection can't be transmitted to humans but is deadly to elk, moose and deer.
Two deer on Adams County farms died of the disease earlier this year, making them the first cases reported in the state. No infections have been reported in the wild population.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Learn to Work with Bees - Personal or Group Lessons from BeeWeaver
People from all walks of life are curious about bees and are considering becoming beekeepers. Over the years, so many of our customers have asked us if we can teach them how to work with bees in a sustainable way without the use of chemicals. Beekeeping can seem a little daunting at first and the initial investment in the knowledge, equipment and bees is substantial. Our goal is to simplify the process and lift the veil of mystery surrounding the amazing Apis Mellifera.
Private lessons are $175.00 for the first hour, and $75 for every hour after the first. Price is for up to 2 Adults. Additional adults are $50/per hour

Some economic good news has come to Western New York recently with announcements that two companies here will each be adding hundreds of jobs.
Investments announced a couple of years ago are starting to come to fruition at General Motors' Town of Tonawanda engine plant. Engines that will be produced at the plant will go into new versions of the automaker's top-selling Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
It all means more work for a plant that currently has about 1,100 hourly and salaried workers. That total is expected to rise to 1,600 or 1,700 over the next year, as Tonawanda's new engine lines enter full production.
The domestic auto industry was in a tailspin only a few years ago, and GM was forced to restructure in a government-backed bankruptcy. Western New York faced particular impact from the sinking auto economy, with its GM and Ford plants among the remaining links to the area's glory days of manufacturing.
Ford has remained relatively healthy, and GM did not collapse. In fact, it announced major investments in Western New York. The Tonawanda complex will be the lead supplier of three new engines for the trucks, and the only GM plant that produces all three of them. In addition, GM recently announced that the Tonawanda plant would be the exclusive supplier of a V8 engine for the next-generation C7 Corvette.
If that wasn't enough good news, earlier this year the plant launched production of a new Ecotec four-cylinder engine for the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac ATS, resulting from a separate, $425-million investment.
Indeed, it's been a long road for the auto industry, and one filled with financial potholes that required government help to fill. There were plenty of skeptics about that help, and whether the government was wasting taxpayer money on a fruitless bailout.
Those concerns are now in the rear-view mirror as GM and its Town of Tonawanda engine plant thrive.
Another company in another field altogether is also adding hundreds of jobs here.
GEICO, one of the nation's largest auto insurers, landed in Western New York with great fanfare in 2004. The company is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, which also owns The Buffalo News. GEICO has consistently fulfilled promises to add jobs and now it is bringing even more.
The most recent announcement involves the addition of 500 new jobs to its Amherst operations center. The goal is to serve more customers in New Jersey and New England. According to officials, the company wants to hire "as many qualified candidates as we can get" for its sales, customer service and claims operations, as well as for its GEICO Agency.
And that's good news, as this region has plenty of qualified candidates to fill those and plenty of other positions. Companies that locate here find a ready-to-work pool of workers.
This is also an area ready and willing to work to make available locations, low-cost power and other incentives – including often-criticized tax incentives – in order to get employers up and running.
The recent announcements by both GM and GEICO reaffirming their confidence in Western New York's workforce is good news worth celebrating.

Advances on Video Coding Algorithms for Streaming Applications
Rezaei, Mehdi
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-05-24
Language: en
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;737
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering
Department: Department of Signal Processing
Video streaming refers to a method for delivery of video services in which compressed video data are transmitted as a continuous stream to the receiver and played as they arrive. Therefore, a transmission channel with enough bandwidth for the continuous transmission of the bit stream should be assured. In video streaming, the quality of service depends on the video encoding process and the allocated bandwidth to the bit stream. The encoding process is very important, because it has a great impact on the rate-distortion performance and also on the utilization of different resources such as processing power, transmission bandwidth, and end-to-end delay of streaming service. In real-time video streaming, compromising the rate-distortion performance, computational complexity, bandwidth efficiency, and the quality of service makes the encoding process a challenge. The challenge can be more serious when the overall performance over a number of streaming services is considered. The specifications of most video coding standards define only the bit-stream syntax and the decoding process. The encoding process is not standardized to allow flexible implementations. This thesis proposes algorithms for the encoding process with emphasis on rate control for streaming applications. In this thesis, novel fuzzy logic controllers have been developed and used in several video encoding and streaming scenarios. Video rate control algorithms for encoding variable bit rate video are proposed where the fuzzy controllers are deployed. The proposed algorithms in the new approach are very different from the conventional rate control algorithms in the way they operate. However, some theoretical and practical results of conventional rate control are used in the new approach. Furthermore, video encoding techniques optimized for streaming over DVB-H (Digital Video Coding for Handheld) are proposed in this thesis. The contributions of thesis are presented in three parts. Each part includes summary of a number of published papers and a selected subset of published papers is attached to the thesis. In the first part of the thesis, video rate control algorithms and tools for video streaming applications are proposed. The proposed rate control algorithms can be applied to other variable bit rate video applications such as recording on storage media. In the second part, video encoding and rate control algorithms are proposed and optimized for video streaming over DVB-H channels. The third part presents video encoding algorithms for a digital video broadcast system in which a number of video sources are encoded and broadcasted simultaneously. The proposed rate control algorithms in the thesis outperform sophisticate conventional rate control algorithms in term of rate-distortion performance and computational complexities. Moreover, they maximize utilization of the allocated resource to increase the overall quality of service. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are very flexible so that they can be easily tuned for different operating points and applications.

The potentially historic aspect of Tuesday's Charleston Water System runoff is also among the least relevant, according to the candidates.
Newcomer and estate lawyer Catherine LaFond is running against incumbent Commissioner and former Water System director William Koopman.
LaFond and Koopman received 44 percent and 37 percent of the votes, respectively, in the Nov. 5 election, and the two will face off again Tuesday in a runoff election expected to draw only a tiny fraction of the city's 86,000 registered voters.
That there's even an election here is news in and of itself: The 2009 and 2011 Water System races were called off after no one filed against the incumbent. A city election official could not remember the last time an incumbent commissioner lost.
LaFond said she was urged to run by members with Project XX, a group formed to encourage more women to run for public office, as well as the Alliance for Full Acceptance. She said she decided to run after viewing "Breaking Through," a documentary about successful gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender candidates.
If she wins Tuesday, she will be the first openly gay candidate in South Carolina to win a contested election, said Warren Redmon Gress with the Alliance for Full Acceptance. He said LaFond already has proven herself by getting the most votes on Nov. 5.
"In electing an openly LGBT candidate, (city voters) have an opportunity to make a lasting contribution toward a better city," he said. "Catherine is also a great role model for young LGBT persons who have likely been told they can never hold an elected office in South Carolina. She will prove otherwise."
Koopman said he is running on his lengthy record with the utility and is working hard to turn out his voters Tuesday.
"Ms. LaFond has a very well-run campaign with a purpose. I'm out there presenting myself to the public and running on my record of 30 years experience with know-how and knowledge," he said. "Most of all, I look at myself as a public servant."
Koopman said he was surprised by the sudden interest in the seat, and remembered when all a commissioner had to do to get re-elected was mail out about 500 letters to friends and supporters. "We're like the board of your local credit union," he said.
Koopman said the utility has won state and national awards and last year was named as one of South Carolina's 10 best places to work. Its policy of raising rates a little each year to keep up with infrastructure repair and replacement has prevented shocks to customers' wallets and earned the utility a AAA bond rating, he added.
Koopman said the CPW isn't perfect, but isn't subject to politics. "We don't make decisions and then go out and tell real estate friends where the next water line is going. We don't even think like that."
LaFond said the issue of her making history as South Carolina's first successful gay candidate has not come up — except in the media.
"I'm not running on that fact, but I'm also not running from it," she said. "I don't think it's going to play any role whatsoever as a commissioner. The only thing I think it's done is excite people. Whether that means they will go to the polls, I don't know."
She said from what she can tell, the Charleston Water System is doing "a pretty good job."
"The staff seems very happy to be working there," she added. "I'm not necessarily complaining about the quality of water yet. I feel there are things that could be looked into, that we're not testing for." She also said she wanted to look at innovations that could help lower the cost of providing water and sewer.
Koopman and LaFond said they have met and like and respect each other. Meanwhile, their contest has set a record for spending in a Water System campaign that could stand for some time. A commissioner's seat offers no pay or benefits — just complementary coffee and refreshments at its monthly morning meetings.
Even before their runoff, Koopman had raised $18,000, including $15,000 of his own money, while LaFond has raised almost $10,000. And that was before her supporters held a fundraiser for her last week.
And that financing doesn't touch on the amount of time both have spent trying to interest voters in the race. "I've not been practicing law for at least six weeks," LaFond said. "My days are consumed with this campaign."
While it's a nonpartisan race, many Charleston County Democrats have thrown support to LaFond, though she said her own politics is moderate and that she has voted Republican.
Charleston City Councilman Dean Riegal, who leans Republican and who also serves as a CWS commissioner, said LaFond may be getting Democratic support as the party seeks to build its farm team, candidates who potentially could run for higher office one day.
But the city's most prominent Democrat, Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, has sent out a letter on Koopman's behalf, calling him "the most qualified, experienced and dedicated individual in this particular race."
Other political houses have been divided. State Rep. Leon Stavrinakis, D-Charleston, has backed Koopman, while his wife Ann helped sponsor a recent fundraiser for LaFond.
Charleston County Democratic Chair Richard Hricik said LaFond is getting support because people want competency in local government.
"Part of her appeal is she is a woman," he added, "and I think we need more women to serve in government generally. ... Women are underrepresented in government in South Carolina."

A Kansas man faces a municipal court date after he drowned a caged cat in a lake north of Kansas City.
A neighbor and two children saw the man drown the cat. He told police he didn't realize the neighbors were watching.
Police said the man, whose name was not released, drowned the cat Sunday afternoon in Lake Waukomis because it had bitten and scratched his fiancee and another person. He held the cat under water for about five minutes before it died.
The man, from Shawnee, Kan., is scheduled to appear in municipal court Aug. 20 on a charge of violating the city's animal-abuse ordinance.
Police investigator Pete Edlund told The Kansas City Star that a problem animal should be taken to a veterinarian or an animal shelter.

I enjoyed this course! I used a tremendous amount of the information in my class with my intermediate students and they loved it too! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this course and felt that it built a good foundation for Spanish within the classroom setting. I felt the matching games and links were particularly useful in helping to remember words. The scenarios with the ongoing characters throughout the course proved to be very helpful as well, providing real life situations to use Spanish.
This was my first online course and it was great! I really enjoyed this course and felt that it was set up in a way that was easy to navigate through and understand!
Excellent course! Informative and useful in my classroom. Thanks!
The instructor was very positive and upbeat. She presented our lessons with humor and good examples. Her illustrations and examples helped my language acquisition and desire to keep learning. Learning a new language is hard, but she was very positive and sympathetic and kept us going!
If high school Spanish was presented in this 'useful," user-friendly way, instead of the "verbs-rule" method, more students might stay involved! The lessons were easy to understand and very relevant to classroom use!
Thank you for offering this course. I was thrilled to find a beginning Spanish class tailored to the classroom. I really enjoyed the lessons. They were creative and engaging. The assignments were all very helpful, useful, and I very much appreciated that there was no "busy work" to be completed. The techniques you employ are great examples of best practices in teaching, very much a brain-based format for learning. I learned a great deal from this class and I am looking forward to trying out some of my newly acquired language skills. I plan to continue on with other Spanish classes. You are an excellent, organized, well-prepared teacher who is obviously passionate about the topic.
This course was great! Working with primary students whose native language is Spanish, I was able to communicate with my students. They were willing to assist me with my pronunciation and the fluency of the language. The information in the course wasn't overwhelming. The instructor also gives students feedback in the discussion area in a timely matter too!
This instructor did an excellent job selecting material that would be immediately useful to a classroom teacher. I thought it was an extremely beneficial course, taught in an easy to relate with manner.
For an old, retired teacher, determined to learn Spanish, this course was perfect! I am beginning to be able to converse with my Spanish students when I substitute and they appreciate the effort. Excelente!

The Missing Rose is the story of Diana, a willful young woman who, following the death of her mother, sets out on a quest to find the twin she never knew she had. Although she is both beautiful and wealthy, Diana is confused and angry with life. Her overwhelming desire for approval has caused her to let go of her dreams, and now she does not know who she really is.
Diana's search for her twin, Mary, leads her to a magical garden in Istanbul, where she learns the philosophy of roses. Later at home, by the sea in Rio, she meets the enigmatic artist Matthias, who also challenges her understanding of the world.
An enchanting and multilayered tale of chance encounters, magical gardens, vibrant cityscapes, and transformative learning, The Missing Rose is a profound modern-day fable about the wisdom of the heart.

How about a bit of old English fun?
As we all know the 'B' in roadster form was launched in '62 then in '65 the rather pretty 'fastback GT' was launched.
To me the GT is a much more practical vehicle as one can motor through the bad weather of the winter (and British Summer!) thanks to a hard top yet still enjoy the very comfy driving position of a 'classic' MG. But be warned… …the GT version may be a 'hard top' but thanks to BMC/Leyland build quality it will still leak like a sieve! ..but then that is always a source of amusement amongst older car owners.
A good sturdy engine and a decent gearbox; however try to get a version with overdrive.
They are easy to maintain apart from when it's clutch change time – the whole engine and gearbox has to come out!
Also thanks to there being a roof the structure isn't so dependant on the sills for strength (as per the roadster) so a bit 'o' patching with the welder at M.O.T time is more than acceptable.
Grease the front suspension points every 2000 mile and it will stay fairly responsive (oh the joy of trunions!); a quick job with the old grease gun!
Keep the oil topped up in the Carburettor dashpots … SU Carbs – the easiest Carburettors ever to maintain!
Change oil every 3000 mile – not expensive
At the end of the day parts are available everywhere and they are fun to drive, ok so they break down but then … isn't that also part of the fun? …

Commodity Costs and Returns
Stay Connected
Cost and return estimates are reported for the United States and major production regions for corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, grain sorghum, rice, peanuts, oats, barley, milk, hogs, and cow-calf. The history of commodity cost and return estimates for the U.S. and regions is divided into three categories: Current, Recent, and Historical estimates. Cost-of Production Forecasts are also available for major U.S. field crops.
Note: The procedure used to update the opportunity cost of land in all crop production cost and return accounts was changed in the October 1, 2013 update. Changes in cropland cash rents, reported by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, were used to adjust the land cost from the survey to the update year. This procedure is an improvement over changes in the general land cash rent index that was previously used. The new procedure was implemented for the land cost estimate of each commodity from the most recent survey year of the commodity through the most recent update.

President Barack Obama seems determined to reign over one of the most imperial White Houses in history.
He is poised to demonstrate that once again, to judge by reports he plans to issue an executive order to protect critical U.S. computer systems such as those regulating financial systems and power grids.
No one argues some new safeguards are not needed.
But Congress has debated a package of rules - and rejected them.
Now Obama is preparing to issue an executive order containing some of the very proposals that concerned many lawmakers.
Some businesses have complained the rules would make it difficult and/or more expensive for them to operate.
Enough lawmakers agree with them that legislation on the matter stalled.
Yet Obama plans to go ahead, once again bypassing Congress as he has done on major issues including air pollution rules that will increase electricity costs for tens of millions of Americans.
It has become clear during the past three and one-half years that once Obama sets his mind on doing something, he will not tolerate roadblocks - even those set up by Congress, the elected representatives of the American people.

Yoga studios can be intimidating places for beginners, especially those from, shall we say, "the less flexible gender."

From the stretches and stretchy pants to the pretzel-like postures with Sanskrit names, it's just too much for many of the uninitiated and macho guys. But one local yoga teacher has found an angle to lure them in and keep them: alcohol.
Beth Cosi, owner of Tapas Yoga, has been holding her "Bendy Brewski Yoga" series on Mondays for two years at Holy City Brewery on Dorchester Road in North Charleston.
After each 45-minute class, participants are invited to stick around, sample an array of beers and socialize, the latter of which can be rare at most studios. A week ago Monday, 54 people spread mats between the vats, the barrels, bar and pool table at Holy City.
No rush
Among them were a group of friends — Gilly and Peter Wallace of Mount Pleasant, Pete Volk of Folly Beach, Lauren Wolf of West Ashley, and Carol Varano on James Island — who met doing Bendy Brewski Yoga last year and have become regular beer yogis.
Volk, whose wife Susan usually joins the group, says the yoga and beer combination works for them.
"It makes my wife happy because I'm exercising and it makes me happy because I'm drinking beer," says Volk. "What I like about it is that it (the class) is not intimidating and I know that if it hurts, beer will always come afterward."
Unlike some yoga studios in Charleston, where young adult women dominate, the yoga class at Holy City ran the gamut of age and had a higher ratio of men.
Chloe Greene says she only started coming to Holy City after her father, Lenny Greene, invited her. When she first attended, most participants were his age or just a tad younger.
Does yoga trump the beer, or vice versa?
"The beer is definitely an influence," says Chloe, who is 23 and attends College of Charleston. "I like yoga, but yoga and beer seemed more ideal than just plain yoga."
With the popularity of the series at Holy City, Cosi recently started a series at Frothy Beard Brewing on Peppermill Parkway in North Charleston on Tuesdays and "Bendy Boozy Yoga" series at High Wire Distillery on upper King Street on Wednesdays, where the yogis get samples of vodka, rum and whiskey.
F&B connection
While Cosi thought she had created something unique, an online article she was interviewed for in "Yoga Journal" indicated that similar classes are being held in other parts of the country.
The origin of the Bendy Brewski Yoga series was a past working relationship with Chris Brown at EVO Pizza in North Charleston. Brown is now head brewer and part-owner at Holy City.
At EVO, Cosi would do impromptu, short yoga session with co-workers.
"This would take place in the kitchen, the dish-pit or the office, before or after a shift, sometimes right in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush," says Cosi.
"I noticed that their response to these small opportunities of yoga had an empowering effect and I started to get lots of questions. Some were getting curious about their bodies and wanted to feel more, not less."
When she gave passes to studio classes, no one ever came.
"I began to see that these students, mostly dudes with beards, weren't gonna come to a yoga studio. They found it intimidating. They worried that they wouldn't understand the language, the dress, the culture within the studio. I understood that. These were not your Lululemon yogis, not yet anyway," says Cosi.
When Holy City opened, Brown asked Cosi to start doing classes for staff and close friends in local food and beverage circles.
After class, they'd have a tasting and talk about yoga postures, the beer and life in general.
"It was all good. Our bodies and minds were open. There's a kind of serenity after a good yoga class, and what followed was relaxing, slow conversation with no drama and no yoga hype," says Cosi, adding that the brewery turned out to be ideal for yoga.
"I have been very fortunate, blessed really, to be at the right place at the right time and at the crossroads where two passions, two crafts collide."

Beth Cosi, owner of Tapas Yoga, started holding yoga classes at Holy City Brewing Co. in North Charleston and has since expanded offerings to Frothy Beard Brewing and High Wire Distillery Co.×

A Fair To Remember
6 comments:
Always reader, rarely commenter just had to say good luck on your move! And isn't Kenny just the BEST! When I saw him a few years ago on your blog I just laughed and then about two weeks later I told him that I saw him on there in person. My husband is Uncle Mike of Pint Size Polkas and they played the WI state fair together that year. My guy doesn't travel quite as far as Kenny (who goes overseas!) but we are so excited that in just 3 little weeks we'll have Daddy home again from his summer spent in 11 states doing 150 library and fair gigs.ReplyDelete
Kenny is such an amazing performer and human being too. Probably the nicest guy my husband has met out in the children's performer's world. So glad you got to see him again!
So glad we went...and saw our traditional Kenny show. It was the best night..ReplyDelete

You've been on my google reader for years and I really love the way you write (and live). Just thought I'd let you know. :)

Darcy Regier says he intended to search for a permanent coach after hiring Ron Rolston as the interim in February. I don't buy it. This smacks of being another example of the Sabres reshaping history to suit their own needs – like telling us the rebuilding began when they traded Paul Gaustad.
I felt Rolston was the choice all along. It was only a question of when the Sabres would get around to announcing it, and to what extent they would pretend he wasn't the only candidate. All he had to do was not fall flat on his face. Regier said the player exit interviews convinced him to keep Rolston. Really? What did you expect them to say? Sure, boss, bring in some unknown coach from the outside who might hold us to a higher standard, a guy who's not on board with this whole suffering thing.
Rolston is the perfect choice, because he is no threat to the general manager. He's not a well-connected guy in the NHL. He worked for the USA national developmental program. He was an assistant at four colleges. Rolston is indebted to Regier for handing him a head job without glowing credentials.
Elevating Rolston ensures the team's insular nature. There can be no critical outside voice, no competing hockey vision. By making Rolston the prince of the realm, Regier attaches the crown more securely to his own head. It's a predictably uninspired move by a tough-talking outfit whose actions come off as strictly small time.
• One of my favorite things about the NBA playoffs is seeing unheralded but vital players rise up in the big moment for their teams. It happened four times recently in deciding games of first-round series:
Chicago's Marco Belinelli, forced to play big minutes due to injuries, scored a season-high 24 points in the Bulls' win at Brooklyn in Game Seven.
The Knicks' Iman Shumpert, a 6.8-point scorer during the regular season, has scored in double figures in his last five playoff games. Shumpert, a terrific defender, scored 17 points in New York's clinching win at Boston.
Tony Allen, the veteran Memphis guard, equaled a season high with 19 points in the Grizzlies' clincher against the Clippers. Allen, better known for his defense, guarded Kevin Durant down the stretch Tuesday when Memphis evened its second-round series with the Thunder at a game apiece.
Golden State rookie Draymond Green had a season-high 16 points in the Warriors' clinching win over the Nuggets in Game Six. Green, whose role expanded when David Lee went down, has become a key player in Mark Jackson's rotation.
• If you get the impression that the pitchers are having their way in baseball, you're right. As of Wednesday, runs and hits were at their lowest point in more than 20 seasons; pitchers were on pace to break the record for strikeouts per game.
Striking out is all the rage. The average team is striking out 7.66 times a game, a pace that would break the record for the seventh year in a row! Runs (4.26) are at their lowest level since 1992. Hits (8.35) are the scarcest since '89.
Hitting tends to heat up with the temperatures, but this is obviously a trend. The steroid era is over. Teams are more determined to develop pitchers and pay them. More kids see pitching as their ticket to the big time.
Every other day, it seems, some pitcher is flirting with a no-hitter. Get used to it. I'll bet we see at least a couple more no-hitters before the season is through.
• The Bills would love to see EJ Manuel win the starting quarterback job this summer. It's probably his job to lose. It figures to be a very close competition. But I don't get the widely held assumption that Kevin Kolb has the clear edge over Tarvaris Jackson.
Career-wise, there's little to separate the two. Jackson has started 34 games, Kolb 21. Jackson has completed 59.4 percent of his passes, Kolb 59.5. Jackson has 38 touchdowns and 35 interceptions, Kolb 28 TDs and 25 picks. Kolb got sacked about once every 10 throws, Jackson one every 12.
At 28, Kolb is two years younger. He was a hot free agent not long ago. Maybe that's why he has an edge in some people's minds. I want to see Manuel as soon as possible. But after seeing Jackson sit all last year, it would be nice to find out if the guy can play.
• Are Vancouver fans due for some suffering? In the aftermath of a first-round sweep by the Sharks in the first round, there's talk that the Canucks might have to break up their core.
The Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel, have a year left in their contracts. Neither scored a point in the first-round series. They'll be 33 by the start of next season. Management must decide whether to move one or both (can they be separated?) while their value is high.
GM Mike Gillis has been criticized for not trading goalie Roberto Luongo when he had a chance last summer. Does all of this sound vaguely familiar, Buffalo fans?
• I keep expecting Jim Negrych to drop below .400, but he keeps hitting. The Buffalo native had three more hits Tuesday, raising his average to .427. This is more than a little hot streak. We're well into May. And remember, Negrych hit .394 in spring training.
At some point, you reward this kind of hitting. When a player is far and away the top hitter in Triple-A, he's earned a chance to prove himself in the big show. Let's hope it comes soon for the St. Francis grad.
• It's nice to know Rick Jeanneret will be back next season. But it's too bad that it ends talk of splitting the Sabres' TV and radio broadcasts. This is another way in which "hockey heaven" comes off as small time. Hey, a radio-only announcer might even tell us the score once in awhile.
• Luckily, J.A. Happ wasn't seriously injured when he took a line drive to the head Tuesday. But baseball should continue to study the possibility of headgear for pitchers. Players will resist, but if batters wear helmets, why not protect pitchers? Sooner or later, someone is bound to get killed.
• Can't believe we're nine months from the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Opening Ceremonies are Feb. 7. Women's ski jumping will debut in Sochi. What took them so long?
• Alex Rodriguez is working out in Tampa and says he has "unfinished business." What, seeing his slugging percentage drop for a sixth straight year?
• Mel Kiper has South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney as the top pick in next year's NFL draft. Of course, last year he had Matt Barkley.
