The latest scuffle over online privacy is brewing up in Georgia. An aggressive new law is set to take effect today which will force sex offenders to hand over their internet passwords, screen names, and e-mail addresses to the government for monitoring purposes. Several other states also have efforts that track sex offender's email and screen names. However, Georgia, which has 16,000 registered offenders, will be the first state to demand the sex offenders' passwords as well.
A similar law in Utah was already struck down by a federal judge, who ruled that it violated the privacy rights of an offender who challenged it. However, that ruling was rather narrow as it applied to an offender tried on a military conviction who had never been in Utah's court or prison system.
Critics of the Georgian law say that it not only violates the privacy rights of offenders, but it also places undue stress on the already tight-for-cash Georgian law enforcement. Sara Totonchi of the Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights states, "There's certainly a privacy concern. This essentially will give law enforcement the ability to read e-mails between family members, between employers."
State Sen. Cecil Staton (R.) who wrote the bill argues that it is necessary to strip the rights of some citizens to protect the rights to life and liberty of others, particularly children. He states that the benefits of the bill, which will allow law enforcement to detect stalking by predators sooner "outweighs a lot of the rights of these individuals."
He states, "We limit where they can live, we make their information available on the Internet. To some degree, we do invade their privacy. But the feeling is, they have forfeited, to some degree, some privacy rights."
Most states do compromise sex offenders' privacy to some extent by making their addresses available online in registries. However, Georgia and Utah are the only states to propose legislation to take offenders passwords, according to civil rights researchers. Others argue the bill isn't tough enough. While the bill threatens violators with a possible return to prison, some believe this won't deter many.
Says State Sen. Staton, "My hunch is, where there's a will, there's a way. If people are intent on violating this law, there are many different ways. What's important is we have given law enforcement a tool."
One critical issue at stake with the Georgian law is lack of specificity. While the law is clearly meant to target offenders seeking to exploit children, it does not differentiate by crime. Thus those found guilty of underage consensual sex, public indecency, or other sex crimes will likely be forced to turn over their passwords as well, bringing into question whether the law is targeting who it intends to.
quote: Granted, I still did bad things, but I'm smart enough to understand "I do this, I get whacked, and I don't wanna get whacked" so many times the knowledge of the consequence stopped me from doing things.
quote: You molest, you should die.
quote: Certain things deserve no rehabilitation, which brings me to your next point, which assumes that anybody (or many for that matter) who does these types of things is retarded or have brain malfunctions at the least. This is a convenient defense for these people. They, like me, have sinful urges that may be difficult to control. As an example, I believe I may have at least a partial addiction to the internet. I know and understand this, but I am perfectly capable of controlling the urge to spend all day online IF I CHOOSE TO.

Sunday, June 22, 2014
Berkeley County saw a slight rise in its jobless rate in May as about 400 workers joined its labor force since April, according to numbers released by the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.
The unemployment rate rose to 5 percent from Aprils 4.7 percent rate. The rise comes as the rest of the states unemployment numbers hold steady at a seasonally adjusted 5.3 percent and the national jobless rate is 6.3 percent for the month.
According to the numbers released June 20, Berkeley Countys labor force increased from 86,572 in April to 86,997 in May. Employment increased from 82,535 in April to 82,689 in May. And unemployment increased from 4,037 in April to 4,308 in May.
Since May 2013, the labor force has decreased by about 1,500 (from 88,486 to 86,997), while employment numbers have remained relatively the same. Unemployment from May 2013 has shrunk from 6.6 percent to 5 percent, but the number of those employed has remained relatively stable (82,616 in 2013 and 82,689 in 2014). The number of unemployed when from 5,870 in May 2013 to 4,308 in May 2014.
Statewide, an increase of 736 people moved the estimated unemployment level to 115,172 in May. The number of South Carolinians working continues to trend upward, rising for 10 consecutive months and reaching a historic high in May of 2,051,011, increasing by 500 since April.

Varsity Female Athlete of the Week: Maria Peluso, Fort LeBoeuf volleyball
Maria Peluso, Fort LeBoeuf
Maria Peluso helped dash Hopewell's hopes of winning the PIAA Class AA girls volleyball championship.
Peluso's kill on match point clinched Fort LeBoeuf's 28-26, 25-23, 25-21 victory over the Vikings in Saturday's quarterfinal match at Sharpsville. Her effort not only eliminated the state's top-ranked team, but sent the Bison into the state semifinal round for the first time in program history.
"This feels great," Peluso said afterward. "My heart is still pounding from the adrenaline rush. All we talked about after the second set was breaking the (quarterfinal) curse and not letting this go to a fourth game."
LeBoeuf was eliminated in the state quarterfinals in 2010 and 2011. The 2012 Bison were 19-0 going into Tuesday night's AA semifinal against Mars. That match, held at Slippery Rock University's Morrow Field House, took place after Varsity went to press.
LeBoeuf's push into uncharted PIAA territory began with its Nov. 6 win over Ambridge. The District 10 titlists beat the Bridgers 25-21, 25-15, 25-12 in a AA first- rounder at Cochranton, where Peluso had nine kills.
Peluso was even better against Hopewell. The senior totaled 14 kills in LeBoeuf's three-set quarterfinal sweep.
Peluso went into Tuesday trying to help the Bison become the first Erie County girls volleyball team to compete in a state final since 1984.

Tonight's first round of the NFL draft could shape the Steelers' defense for years.
It's going to be difficult to erase the memory of Ike Taylor chasing after Demaryius Thomas in Denver this past January, but tonight could be a start.
The Steelers are hoping to add youth to their defense, especially after the offseason releases of veterans Aaron Smith and James Farrior. They also need to find a successor for nose tackle Casey Hampton, who is on his last legs and has no proven backup.
The Steelers could solve one of their defensive dilemmas with the 24th pick of the draft, and the two players who pop up the most in mock drafts are Alabama inside linebacker Dont'a Hightower and Memphis nose tackle Dontari Poe.
The Hightower pick appears to be a classic Steelers selection. He played against top-notch competition in college - Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's first-round picks have come from Florida State, Illinois, Missouri, Florida and Ohio State - and he's labeled a physical run stuffer.
Hightower could be the eventual replacement for Farrior, and the Steelers could add youth to their linebacking group after addressing the defensive line the last three years with the picks of Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward.
Fact Box
Possible picks
The following is a draft scenario that would help the Steelers address their needs:
1. (24) Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
2. (56) Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington
3. (86) Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati
4. (119) Senio Kelemete, OG, Washington
5. (159) Kyle Wilber, OLB, Wake Forest
6. (193) DeQuan Menzie, S, Alabama
7. (231) Chaz Powell, CB, Penn State
7. (240) Matt McCants, OT, Ala.-Birmingham
7. (246) Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas
7. (248) David Paulson, TE, Oregon
The Poe pick would go against the Steelers' usual draft philosophy because he didn't produce on the field as much as he wowed everyone at the NFL Combine. But Poe's chances of being available at pick 24 are slim because not many nose tackles are highly rated in this draft.
If the Steelers do get Poe, he could play behind Hampton this season and be ready to anchor the line in their 3-4 defense starting in 2013.
If the Steelers don't get Poe, they're going to need to take a good nose tackle prospect in the second, third or fourth round or they could be facing the decline of their 3-4 defense, which needs a good nose tackle.
The Steelers, though, have players now who could make a transition to a 4-3 defense more so than five years ago. It's quite possible the Steelers have been planning to make this transition with the recent picks of Hood and Heyward, who both could play tackle in a 4-3.
In any case, the Steelers need their top pick to make an immediate impact on the team. If Poe and Hightower are both gone, they may be forced to take an offensive lineman, another area that needs an upgrade. The players who might be available in the first round are Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler and Ohio State tackle Mike Adams.
The Steelers could then take care of the defensive needs on Friday when rounds two and three are held. The other positions the team needs to address are running back, safety, tight end, wide receiver and cornerback.
They have 10 overall picks, so they have a chance at producing a successful draft. The team has more openings on its roster than in years past, so eight or nine of the draft picks could actually make the team.
Many variables exist in a draft, which makes trying to forecast a team picking 24th extremely difficult. The biggest variable is what the other 31 teams are planning - a team may trade up ahead of the Steelers to take a guy it knows the Steelers are coveting.
That's why the Steelers have always adopted the philosophy that they'll take the best player available when it's their turn to pick rather than make picks based on need. That was a good philosophy that's worked wonders through the years in Pittsburgh.
But, on the other side, the Steelers didn't have as many needs over the past several years like the ones they have this year.

Invicta Submariner 8926
The Invicta 8926 is undoubtedly is one of the most analyzed watch which would refer to its popularity personifying boldness and the masculine. The first thing you notice is that identifiable yellow box triggering a sense of quality. The construction of the case and watchband are the foundation of quality, which founded these legendary watches; one that a man wants.
(the information taken from the website http://invicta8926.us/)
A characteristic that sets these watches apart from the dozens of other watches of its caliber is the sophisticated center link on the watchband and steel casing that really adds to its sophistication. When you place it on your wrist the watch and become accustomed to it, the purchase price becomes irrelevant.
Invicta is an astonishing watch manufacturing company starting in the 1930s requiring over seven years; Invicta introduced a mechanical winding watch of utmost quality and precision.
This particular model appears virtually indistinguishable to the Rolex Submariner. The Invicta 8926 Pro Diver is the best value and to the untrained eye, most people think you are wearing a $1,000 + watch. A watch that offers the best features while being the watch that expresses luxuriousness.
When surrounded by gloomy waters, the luminous hands and markers of this submariner grants you visibility of time; water resistant up to a depth of 660 feet, permitting you to travel to new depths.
Who is is the best for you? Humidifier vs Vaporizer
When struck with seasonal allergies or the common cold sleep is next to impossible. One of the things that can help alleviate nasal congestion is a humidifier or a vaporizer. Both help relieve these symptoms by adding moisture back into the air, but which is best for you?
- Add moisture to the air by using a cool mist
- Can often be loud.
- May put particles into the air.
- Need frequent cleanings to prevent mold. This may be cause for concern to those who have mold allergies, as it can worsen you condition if not cleaned properly.
If you are interested in more information about humidifiers you might want to check this site: http://relionhumidifierreview.com
- Releases hot steam
- Less likely to put particles into the air
- Less probability for mold due to the machine boiling the water
- Ability to add medications into the vaporizer to help relieve mucus build up
- Can cause burns or scolding if the unit is overturned or someone gets too close to it.
Both the humidifier and vaporizer are good and valuable to have to relive symptoms of a cold, sinus infection, or nose bleeds. Most the time it comes down to a personal preference as to what works best for you. The only exception would be for use for a young child, a humidifier is recommended, due to the risk of burns from a vaporizer.

The smartphone world is filled with handsets running ARM processors. Many of the most popular smartphones around including the iPhone 3G S and the new Palm Pre run ARM-based processors. A new ARM processor architecture is due to hit next year that will greatly increase the performance that smartphones offer.
The new processor is the ARM Cortex-A9. The current Cortex-A8 used on devices like the Palm Pre and is a single-core processor. The A9 set to debut early in 2010 is a dual-core processor. ARM says that while the new A9 architecture is a dual-core chip, it will still offer users increased battery life in daily usage compared to current single-core ARM processors.
The reason the processor can offer significantly higher performance and still give better battery life is due to the construction of the new A9. The A9 will be built using a 45nm process whereas the current A8 uses a 65nm process.
ARM wireless segment manager James Bruce told CNET News, "You'll definitely see handsets shipping with a dual-core A9 in 2010." He continues saying, "the A8 is just a single core while the A9 will be dual-core, all the way up to quad-core to give smartphones an even bigger performance boost."
The new A9 processor operates inside the 300-milliwatt power envelope that is the golden rule in the mobile phone industry. By comparison, the wildly popular Intel Atom processor needs 2,000 milliwatts, but future Atom versions codenamed Moorestown will bring Atom power levels to the realm of smartphone usability.
Other than performance improvements of compared to that of the A8, the A9 will also allow smartphones to support 1080p video along with HD video recording and playback.

BUCKHANNON - The Indian Camp Community is hosting a special celebration for a century-old historic building in Upshur County.
The celebration for the old Indian Camp Normal building will take place on Nov. 10, beginning at 10 a.m. with Sunday School followed by numerous other activities. Activities will include a slideshow presenting the building's history with photos throughout the century.
On Nov. 11 of 1913, a meeting was conducted to officially open the Indian Camp Normal. The first term of school was taught in 1914, but was closed in 1918 because of World War I and other adverse conditions in the world at that time.
Article Photos
Submitted photos
The old Indian Camp Normal building that still stands is pictured above in 1913.
The Indian Camp Community will be celebrating the 100-year-old Indian Camp Normal building with a centennial event on Nov. 10. The above photo is a more recent image taken in 2013 of the building.
Looking around the sparsely populated community of Indian Camp today, it can be difficult to imagine a community that was large enough to warrant the construction of an institution of higher education - yet that is what happened in the early 1990s.
The West Virginia United Brethren Conference, with the help of the Indian Camp Community and surrounding communities, decided to build a Normal School at Indian Camp. Normal Schools were a training program for students who had an eighth-grade diploma to further their education and to become certified teachers so that they could teach in the public schools. Although their school did not last for many years, their efforts left behind a building that has been the scene of many activities through the years.
The Indian Camp Rock area is already rich in history because of the Indian massacre in the early days when foreign settlers first arrived on the local soil. Because the United Brethren and the German Baptist Dunkards used Indian Camp Rock for church meetings, the community is using the Nov. 10 event to celebrate the century-old building, but also to celebrate the community's heritage.
The program for the day begins with Sunday School at 10 a.m. followed by worship in the Normal Building and a covered dish dinner at noon. The afternoon program consists of an historical presentation of the area presented by the Indian Camp United Methodist Church Youth Group.
There will also be an afternoon bell-ringing ceremony, a walk to the rocks, music by the Forgiven Disciples, the historic slide show of the building, a vesper service-weather permitting-under the Indian Camp Rock and a covered dish evening meal with a birthday cake for the building.
Anyone may join the community in celebration, whether they are simply interested in the events or have ties to the building or community.

Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) – Producing Bacteria
Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) -- Producing Bacteria
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are chemicals made by certain kinds of germs (bacteria). These germs (or ESBL for short) break down several types of antibiotics (medications that fight infection). So, when a person gets sick because of ESBL, the infection is harder to treat with those antibiotics. ESBL is mainly spread among people in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Infections due to ESBL usually affect the urinary tract and gut (intestine). They can also affect wounds and the blood. Sometimes a person can carry ESBL and not be sick. This is called being colonized with ESBL. This person can spread ESBL to others. But because the person is not sick, no treatment is needed. ESBL infections, on the other hand, can be fatal if not treated properly. This sheet tells you more about ESBL and what hospitals are doing to control this serious problem. It also tells you how you can help in this effort.
What Are the Risk Factors for ESBL Infection?
Healthy people usually are not colonized or infected with ESBL. But certain things can make colonization or infection more likely. These are called risk factors and include:
A current or recent stay in a hospital or long-term facility
A current or recent stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
A recent operation or wound treatment
Having a urinary catheter, feeding tube, or other tube placed in the body
Older age
Being a premature baby
Having a weakened immune system, such as after an organ transplant
Having long-term or frequent antibiotic treatment
How Does ESBL Spread?
Ways that ESBL can spread include:
Someone who is colonized or infected with ESBL touches you with unwashed hands.
You touch objects or surfaces that have the germs.
Healthcare workers touch you without washing their hands properly after contact with an infected patient, object, or surface.
ESBL can enter your body in the following ways:
Through the mouth. This happens if you have the germs on your hands and then touch your mouth, such as when you eat. The germs are then swallowed and live in your intestine.
Through the urinary tract. This occurs if you already have ESBL in your bowel and do not cleanse properly after a bowel movement. ESBL can also enter the urinary tract through a urinary catheter, if you have one.
Through a wound.
What Are the Symptoms of ESBL Infection?
ESBL causes different symptoms depending on the location of the infection. Common locations and symptoms include:
Urinary tract: pain and burning when urinating, the need to urinate more often, fever
Intestine: diarrhea (may be bloody), pain in the abdomen, stomach cramps, gas, fever, loss of appetite
Skin wound: redness of the skin around the wound and oozing of fluid from the wound
Blood: High fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion
How Is ESBL Infection Diagnosed?
A sample of urine, stool, infected tissue, or blood, is taken to diagnose an ESBL infection. A swab of the area around the rectum or of another location of the body may also be taken. The sample and/or swab is then sent to a laboratory and tested for ESBL.
How Is ESBL Colonization Treated?
A person who tests positive for ESBL colonization usually is not treated. This is because there is no effective treatment and further antibiotic resistance could result from treatment. In some cases, the body can get rid of the germs on its own, even after having been colonized for many months.
How Is ESBL Infection Treated?
Because ESBL germs are resistant to many kinds of antibiotics, your doctor will tell you how you'll be treated. Most likely a combination of several antibiotics will be tried.
Preventing ESBL: What Hospitals Are Doing
Many hospitals and long-term care facilities take steps to help prevent ESBL:
|To help prevent the spread of ESBL, healthcare workers wash their hands or use an alcohol-based hand cleanser before and after treating each patient.
Handwashing: This is the single most important way to help prevent the spread of germs. Healthcare workers wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand cleanser before and after treating each patient. They also clean their hands after touching any surface that may be contaminated with germs.
Protective clothing: Healthcare workers and visitors will likely wear gloves and a gown when entering the room of a patient with ESBL. Before leaving the room, they remove these items and clean their hands.
Private rooms: Patients with ESBL are placed in private rooms or in a room with another patient who also has ESBL.
Personal care items: Patients with ESBL may have their own patient care items, such as thermometers and stethoscopes. If these items are shared, they are fully cleaned and disinfected before reuse.
Monitoring: Hospitals and long-term facilities monitor the presence and spread of ESBL and educate caregivers on the best ways to prevent it.
Preventing ESBL: What Patients Can Do
Ask all hospital staff to wash their hands before touching you. Don't be afraid to speak up!
Wash your own hands frequently with soap and warm water. Or use an alcohol-based hand gel containing at least 60 percent alcohol.
Ask that stethoscopes and other instruments be cleaned with alcohol before they are used on you.
Ask visitors to wash their hands before they enter and right after they leave your room. Visitors will also likely be instructed by hospital staff to put on protective gloves and a hospital gown when they're in your room. Just before leaving your room, they will take these off.
Stay in your room. Do not go into the hallway or other places such as the visitor waiting area, ward kitchen, hospital cafeteria, or other patient rooms.
If you need to have a test done, such as an x-ray, follow instructions from staff. You'll likely need to change into a clean hospital gown and wash your hands just before leaving your room.
Preventing ESBL: What You Can Do After Leaving the Healthcare Facility
Wash your hands often with soap and warm water. Or, use an alcohol-based hand gel containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Hand cleaning is especially important after going to the bathroom and before preparing and eating food.
Follow instructions that you've been given for caring for surgical wounds or any tubes that you have, such as a catheter or dialysis port.
Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered until they heal.
Do not share towels, razors, clothing, or athletic equipment.
Tell your other healthcare providers that you have ESBL so that they can take precautions to prevent its spread.
Tips for Good Handwashing
Use warm water and plenty of soap. Work up a good lather.
Clean the whole hand, under your nails, between your fingers, and up the wrists.
Wash for at least 15 seconds. Don't just wipe. Scrub well.
Rinse, letting the water run down your fingers, not up your wrists.
Dry your hands well. In a public restroom, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door.
Using Alcohol-Based Hand Gels
Alcohol-based hand gels can be used when your hands aren't visibly dirty.
Use enough gel to get your hands completely wet.
Rub your hands together briskly, cleaning the backs of your hands, the palms, between your fingers and up the wrists.
Rub until the gel is gone and your hands are completely dry.
Precautions When Caring for Someone with ESBL
Wash your hands well with soap and warm water before and after any contact with the patient. An alcohol-based hand gel containing at least 60 percent alcohol can be used instead if your hands aren't visibly dirty.
Wear disposable gloves when changing a bandage or touching an infected wound. Throw away the gloves after each use. Then wash your hands well.
Wash and dry the patient's bed linen, towels, and clothing using the warmest temperatures recommended on the labels. Use liquid bleach during the wash cycle if the label permits.
Understanding Drug Resistance
Hard-to-kill (resistant) germs, such as ESBL, develop when antibiotics are taken longer than necessary or are taken when they're not needed. This is because any germs that survive treatment with an antibiotic can go on to reproduce and create more resistant germs. The more often antibiotics are used, the more chances resistant germs have to develop. This is why your healthcare provider may hesitate to prescribe antibiotics unless he or she is certain that they are needed.

The pitmaster's quiver is notoriously spare. Largely beholden to the vagaries of temperature and time, the pitmaster has just two tools for prodding pig flesh toward magnificence: a shovel and a very sharp knife.
If you go
WHAT: Cook It Raw
WHEN: Noon-4 p.m. Oct. 26
WHERE: Bowen's Island
MORE INFO: Since parking is limited, a shuttle will run from the Piggly Wiggly on Folly Road. Guests are asked to bring their own plates and utensils. For a complete list of participating chefs and more informations, visit www.cookitraw.org.
There's no sanctioned way to grip a knife when chopping barbecue. Like an athlete handed a tennis racquet for the very first time, the typical pitmaster nestles the knife's handle beneath the fleshy part of his palm, wraps his fingers around it and holds on tight.
"I grabbed it and cut," recalls Rodney Scott, pitmaster of the acclaimed Scott's Bar-B-Que in Hemingway. "Kept the knife point on the cutting board and just cut."
Lately, though, Scott has adjusted his snug grasp, unfurling his fingers and positioning them the same way that aspiring chefs are taught in culinary school.
He picked up the technique from the upscale restaurant chefs with whom he regularly shares billing at glitzy food festivals and multi-course dinners, where a seat sells for more than 10 times the price of a smoked chicken plate at Scott's.
Barbecue party
The next big event on Scott's local collaborative calendar is Cook It Raw BBQ Perspectives, hosted by his buddy and fellow Fatback Collective member Sean Brock.
The Oct. 26 party on Bowen's Island will feature dozens of globally renowned chefs paying homage to Lowcountry barbecue, represented by Scott.
The lineup, announced last week, includes New York's April Bloomfield (The Spotted Pig), Dan Barber (Stone Barns) and Alex Stupak (Empellon), as well as nine Charleston-based chefs.
Over the past decade or so — perhaps since 2002, when Magnolia Grill's Ben Barker prepared pork cheeks in barbecue jus for a Southern Foodways Alliance symposium celebrating the long-ignored artistry of pitmasters — it's become commonplace for chefs to gather and publicly proclaim their indebtedness to the South's smoked meat talents.
They ritually praise pitmasters' patience and dedication, their closeness to their ingredients and their service to their communities, which they cite as inspiration for their slow-smoked pork bellies and white-sauced quail. What's often overlooked, though, is how classically trained chefs inspire pitmasters. Turns out the learning runs both ways.
The notion doesn't exactly square with the popular image of pitmasters as mythic figures who butcher hogs exactly like their great-granddaddies did and learned the correct proportion of vinegar to pepper from a recipe whispered once and never repeated.
In the privileged mind's eye, a pitmaster wears stained overalls, not a perky white toque. But some local pitmasters say exposure to high-end cooking has prompted them to change their methodologies and — avert your eyes, purists — made their barbecue better.
"It's a whole bunch of little things," Scott says of the skills he's brought home from chef-spangled events. "Things like wiping down plates, or holding the knife properly, or preparing the proper amount of food. It's not just 'cut the meat and eat.' "
A little knowledge ...
Although Tim Handy never turned barbecue into a business, his resume mirrors the experience of many professional pitmasters: As a boy on Johns Island, he helped older relatives dig pits and smoke whole hogs for family get-togethers.
"On Johns Island, we barbecue before we can walk," he says.
Countless hogs later, he decided to jump on the competition circuit, attracted by the promise of trophies and $1,000 checks.
But Handy got frustrated long before he got rich. The techniques that worked so well in his backyard weren't producing any prizes, a conundrum that often leads to late nights spent scanning Craigslist for bargains on massive, hand-welded rigs. Handy enrolled in culinary school instead.
"When I started putting that classical spin on it, it turned everything around," says Handy, the first Master Barbecue Champion from South Carolina.
Handy reworked his meats and side dishes according to his culinary school training, butterflying his pork chops and making a roux for his mac-n-cheese.
Emboldened by instruction, he gleefully bent the boundaries of barbecue, fooling with compound butters and brines.
"Barbecue can become a little one-note," Handy complains. "It's smoke and spice."
To tweak the smoke, Handy, who now teaches barbecue seminars, fuels his cooker with a mixture of apple, peach and cherry woods. He acknowledges that his relatives who believe that barbecue consists of hickory, a whole hog and a hole in the ground might not classify his injected and marinated meats as barbecue.
Still, he believes a "classically trained mentality" is helpful even when conforming to a highly traditional style.
"You can't start a recipe without knowing what you need," Handy says, referring to the standard kitchen practice of mise en place, or setting out ingredients before cooking. "And one thing I learned was how to write things down, so I can reproduce them."
Aaron Siegel, owner and pitmaster of Home Team BBQ, isn't surprised by Handy's embrace of culinary schooling.
"Those techniques are super valuable when you're doing anything," says Siegel, a Culinary Institute of America graduate who spent 10 years in high-end restaurants before launching Home Team in 2006. "I'm not saying someone has to go to school to make great barbecue, but it certainly helps."
At Home Team, the brisket is a patchwork of classical influences. The recipe starts with a housemade stock of mirepoix, herbs and red wine, poured into a hotel pan so it surrounds the beef as it smokes.
Keeping it simple
Of course, not every pitmaster is keen to Frenchify his cooking. There are no bottles of red wine or slender carrots behind the counter at Cooper's Country Store in Williamsburg County, where Russell Cooper smokes whole hogs.
"I've never gotten any ideas (from restaurant chefs)," Cooper says. "I can't say I have.
"I reckon it would just be a family tradition," he continues. "I was just brought up around different people, some of them are women, some of them are men, and that's just all I know."
Although Scott isn't clinging quite so tightly to the past, he has no plans to fully classicize his cooking.
"Some of it, maybe a lot of it, I wouldn't touch," he says. "I want to keep it simple. Keep it fun."

General Motors has been in a downward spiral all year with lagging sales and losses in the billions. GM and its cross town rival, Chrysler, asked Congress for monetary assistance to stave off bankruptcy by the end of the year. In the end, the Senate failed to hand over even $14 billion USD to the two struggling Detroit giants.
Now as the White House mulls what plan it will present to help GM and Chrysler stay in business during 2009, GM is stating that it will bring the Chevrolet Volt to market no matter what. This confidence in the Volt program comes despite that fact that GM announced yesterday that it would halt the production on a new engine assembly plant which will produce the 1.4-liter gasoline engine/generator for the vehicle.
Despite the setback with the engine assembly plant, billions of dollars in losses, and a production schedule that leaves little room for error, GM is still committed to bring the Volt -- and the Chevrolet Cruze -- to market by the end of 2010 as it has always stated.
If the engine assembly plant is unable to be completed in time to get the production Chevrolet Volt and Cruze out the door in 2010, GM will be forced to rely on one of its overseas facilities to produce the engine according to the Wall Street Journal. Interestingly enough, the Chevrolet Cruze is already available in overseas markets like South Korea albeit with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine -- two years ahead of the car's North American launch.
"Everything that involves heavy cash outlays obviously is under review," said GM spokeswoman Sharon Basel on Wednesday. "Our intent is to still go forward with a new facility bringing that engine to Flint, Michigan."
"Although we are temporarily absolutely stopping all work on everything, the Volt will be out as originally scheduled," added one GM executive.
GM is banking on the Volt to bring it some of the same positive press that has been bestowed upon the Toyota Prius. However, the Prius and its rival, the Honda Insight, have base prices below the $24,000 mark. The Volt, however, will be priced near or will surpass the $40,000 mark before a $7,500 tax credit.

McKinney, Clouser Lead Mens Golf in Fall Finale
KENNESAW, Ga. -- Keegan McKinney and McCormick Clouser posted top-15 finishes and the Ball State men's golf team moved up one spot Tuesday in the last round of the Pinetree Intercollegiate.
The Cardinals finished their final event of the fall season in a ninth-place tie with Samford. They shot 303 over the closing 18 holes to end with a three-round score of 908 (+44).
McKinney closed with a 74 to move into 14th place individually, marking his best career finish for the second week in a row. The freshman from Avon, Ind., and reigning MAC Golfer of the Week posted a 54-hole total of 5-over par 221.
Clouser shot a final-round 76 at Pinetree Country Club and ended up one stroke behind McKinney in a tie for 15th, matching his best finish of the season.
Tournament host Kennesaw State came from four shots back entering the day to win by eight with a 54-hole score of 872 (+8). Winthrop (+16) and Louisville (+19) finished second and third, while overnight leader Akron (+20) dropped to fourth.
Winthrop's Taylor Dickson came from seven shots behind on the individual leaderboard to take medalist honors at 3-under par.
In addition to McKinney and Clouser, Ball State also counted a 76 from James Blackwell and a 77 from Zach Yinger in the final round. Blackwell tied for 40th overall with a three-round total of 229. Tyler Merkel finished at 238, while Yinger came in at 243.
Tyler Ostrom, playing as an individual, turned in Ball State's second-best score of the final round with a 75 and joined Yinger with a 243 total for the tournament.
McKinney's tie for 14th marked his third top-25 result in six events this season. He was the top finisher for the Cardinals in each of the last two fall tournaments.
Ball State will now break from competition until the spring season. The Cardinals are slated to return to action Feb. 10 when they will host the Mid-American Match Play at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club in Dade City, Fla.

Although the Juniata Valley girls basketball team only finished 9-13 last year, coaches in the ICC North praised first-year coach Rachelle Hopsicker and talked about how she would make the Lady Hornets a force in the area.
They seem to be right. Valley has started the year 11-4. The Mirror's Philip Cmor caught up with her recently.
Mirror: You had some pretty prominent players coming back heading into the year. How do you assess your 11-4 start?
Hopsicker: We knew we had a lot of talent. We lost Sam [Anders] in the second game, and Sam was a senior who gave us a lot of leadership, so that was a tough blow. But we knew we had a lot of talent on this year's team. I think we have about nine players who are pretty even, so we can put a lot of them out there without losing anything.
Mirror: What brought you to the area?
Hopsicker: It's kind of ironic. We were just talking about this. People ask me, 'Why do you coach? You don't seem to get a lot out of it.' When my husband and I got married, he was working at Penn State Altoona, and I was working in Stroudsburg, and I was offered a Division I basketball job, and we had to decide whose career we were going to go with. I go, 'Well, I'm going to have the kids, so go with Peter's.' I chose not to take that, and I came out to Altoona. We'd been in Altoona for a couple of years. I'd run a basketball camp in the Poconos for a couple of years, and one of my counselors was Amy Buxbaum from Juniata College. So, she asked me to come on board and help her out. That's what brought me to Alexandria.
Mirror: You played ball at Fordham?
Hopsicker: I did.
Mirror: Is basketball in this area the same as it was for you in northeastern Pennsylvania growing up?
Hopsicker: Honestly, it took me 10 years to get into it here. Nobody knew me, and I didn't make a big deal about who I was or what I knew. Until I got involved in the community, it was part of their life. I was something on the outside. Basketball's big where I lived, too, but I think it's hard to get in to whatever area you're in. It's all different, everywhere we go. It's a different caliber now. It's a year-round sport than when I went.
Mirror: What's the foundation of your coaching?
Hopsicker: Ironically, it's not about basketball. I am preparing these kids for life. It's because of what I went through. I worked hard for what I got. Basketball afforded me a lot in life, and I got to travel the country and visit different communities. I've always been a proponent of giving back. I'm trying to teach these kids more about giving back and teach them life lessons. In the same process, they're learning more about basketball and succeeding. I don't think they really realize they're becoming better basketball players, because they are actually learning things about working harder and putting time into it or doing the right thing. We take them into the community. We've taken them to Toys for Tots and soup kitchen. They volunteer at Hartslog Days, not knowing that it's making them better people and bringing them closer together than they would be, and it's helping them become better basketball players.
Mirror: You are involved in Hartslog Days. How did you get so involved in the community?
Hopsicker: I have been brought up in a culture ... have you heard of Hersch Track and Field? It's a youth track and field program. Since I was a child, I was in it for years. I won states. I was in states for softball throw. When I got through it, I was 14, and I volunteered. The guy who ran it said, 'This is what you do. You give back.' Then I went to Fordham, and it wasn't all necessarily about basketball. It was about giving back to my community. It's a Catholic school. We visited the Jesuits, all the older folks that had retired. We did other things besides basketball. I really didn't understand it until I went through it. Then I just kept doing it. When I came to Altoona, I knew no one. And my husband knew no one, either. I went to church down in Huntingdon, and the only thing I had in common with people were that I had a child. I slowly made friends by doing things that they did. There were four of us, then six, then other people asked, 'Can we join your group?' I went to the museum the one day and they asked if I wanted to be on the museum board. I said, 'Yeah, sure. I'm a stay-at-home mom. I don't do anything. I gave up basketball.' So then they said, 'If you don't do Hartslog Days, Hartslog Days is going to end.' So I was like, 'OK. No pressure.' So I started doing that, and I helped out when Jama [Greene] was coaching."
Mirror: Do you have any idea how long you plan to be coaching?
Hopsicker: I love coaching. I love basketball. My life if basketball, my community and my children. I think I'm here for the long run. I want to make this program good for my children, but not just my children. I could see myself here for a long time.''

LOCKPORT – A City of Tonawanda man, who was on probation for felony driving while intoxicated when he borrowed his girlfriend's car to drive to a happy hour party, was sentenced Wednesday to 20 weekends in Niagara County Jail, five years on probation, and fines and fees totaling $5,430.
Ryan D. Harris, 29, of Scott Street, a sanitation worker for the City of Tonawanda, had pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and misdemeanor DWI. Police followed him about 2 a.m. Jan. 28 in North Tonawanda after he made a left turn on a red light following eight hours at the house party, State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. said from the bench.
Defense attorney John Liberti said Harris was arrested as he tried to park his girlfriend's car.

on March 2, 2013 - 12:41 AM
The Sabres called up speedy winger Brian Flynn from Rochester on Friday night and the move opens up some interesting questions on their roster.
Thomas Vanek sat out Friday's practice in Amherst due to what interim coach Ron Rolston called maintenance and his status could be up in the air for today's game against New Jersey. However, the Sabres don't have an open roster spot and Marcus Foligno sat out Thursday in Florida as a healthy scratch so he could fill that role.
One option would be to put defenseman Jordan Leopold on injured reserve for the weekend, perhaps backdated, to make room for Flynn. Leopold (upper body) is back at practice.
A more unlikely scenario would be to return Mikhail Grigorenko to junior hockey, although the Sabres are already paying the first year of his entry-level contract. And they are known to want the 18-year-old working with their skating and strength/conditioning coaches as well as taking part in NHL practices.
Flynn, 24, is a 6-foot-1, 180-pounder who has 16 goals and 16 assists this year for the Amerks, ranking 10th among AHL rookies in goals and points. He's tied with Mark Mancari for the Rochester lead in goals. He signed with the Sabres last March and played five games at the end of the 2011-12 season in Rochester on a pro tryout from the University of Maine.
Rolston said Friday that backup goaltender Jhonas Enroth is going to get some work soon. Ryan Miller, the NHL's runaway leader in shots against and saves, will make his 12th straight start today but the Sabres have three sets of back-to-back games in March (they play Sunday night in New York against the Rangers), and three sets of three games in four nights.
If Enroth doesn't play Sunday, he certainly could get the call either Tuesday in Carolina or for Thursday's rematch with the Devils in Newark. Rolston said Miller will have some input on his schedule but the team will continue to massage his practice and game time and monitor his energy level.
"We certainly communicate with him a lot in terms of where he's at," Rolston said. "But we also have to make sure we're helping him manage the situation too because I'm sure he wants to play as much as he can."
Enroth, who is 0-10-3 since last winning on Nov. 26, 2011, has been mostly terrible in his three appearances this year. He has a goals-against average of 4.75 and a save percentage of .847 – last in the league in both categories among goalies who have played more than once.
Injured winger Ville Leino (hip) worked hard on his own for 40 minutes Friday and then joined his teammates in practice, albeit in a limited role, for the first time since Jan. 18.
"Rehab has been good lately, I've been skating the last five days pretty hard and I was going pretty hard today," Leino said. "I felt pretty good. If it's not too sore the next two days, I'll be pretty close to being able to play."
Leino didn't rule out a return for next Thursday's game in New Jersey or the March 10 game in his old home, Philadelphia.
The Devils hit town in a 2-5-1 slump and on a three-game losing streak. They are seventh in the East and sliding after being 8-1-3 and atop the pack through 12 games.
The Devils, of course, lost the Stanley Cup final last year to Los Angeles but were expected to drop quickly this season in the wake of the free agent defection of Zach Parise to Minnesota. Longtime goaltender Martin Brodeur is not with the team as he remains on injured reserve with a bad back. Johan Hedberg will start today. Former Buffalo defenseman Henrik Tallinder, who has been a healthy scratch at times this year, played his 600th NHL game Thursday.

Talk about doing a complete 180. That's what Ventura's and Women's Elite Tour rookie Sage Erickson, 22, endured in 2012. She couldn't buy a heat win on the Women's Tour, wallowing at the bottom of the ratings throughout the year. But she kept her head above water, worked hard, had the backing of family and friends, and at the U.S. Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach, she came away with her best result, a fifth. That wasn't nearly enough to re-qualify her for 2013, but the momentum was there. She jumped on the Women's 6-Star events and won back-to-back events in Oceanside and Spain, catapulting her to the Women's No.1 World Ranking, and more importantly re-qualification on the Women's Elite Tour in 2013. Here's what Sage had to say after her big turnaround.
© ASP/ Huruguen
VC Reporter: Up until the last third of 2012, it was a tough year for you, your first on the Women's Elite Tour. Describe some of your early struggles?
Sage Erickson: This year was my rookie year on tour, I definitely struggled with it. Being on the WET has been one of my biggest competitive goals, and to reach it I didn't really know what to expect. I think that I put a lot of pressure on myself in each heat to outperform, which ultimately I ended surfing a bit more safe or just not comfortable if that makes sense. One of the biggest lessons, I think, that can only be learned through experience is coming up against such big names like Steph (Gilmore), Sally (Fitzgibbons), Tyler (Wright) … all these girls that have an amazing competitive winning ratio! Personally, for myself, finding the balance of mental and physical strength is what this year has taught me. It's not an excuse, though. There are other rookies who succeeded. They and the other top 17 inspired me daily to push myself a bit harder and be a bit better.
But you persevered and turned things around, I want to say, at the U.S. Open. From there you got on a roll. What did you do differently to get things going in your favor?
The U.S. Open was sort of my breakthrough performance. It was my only real result on the WCT this year. It came a bit late on that tour but really fired me up to finish strong on the World Qualifying Series (WQS). I think a few things helped me there. Being in my home country, home state with so much support from friends and family really lifted my confidence. Losing quite a bit doesn't necessarily motivate you at times, or have you feeling the best, so that extra push lit a fire. My brother (Noah Erickson) was heavily involved with me throughout the U.S. Open, and the two victories following in Oceanside and Spain. He is such an amazing surfer himself, with so much raw talent, that his refreshed outlook and knowledge was super-beneficial to me. He's my best friend, my wing man, my coach, all in one. He just makes me feel calm in pressured situations while competing. I also have a really good batch of boards from Channel Islands. I have a magic board for both good waves and small waves. When you have that confidence it tends to follow you in a heat or on a wave. I just really got tired of losing. I wanted to win. I wanted to be on the 2013 CT. These things plus the passion to succeed just kinda paved the way these past couple of months.

All of a sudden you have back-to-back wins in the Star Events and find yourself with the No. 1 World Ranking. Quite the roller coaster ride you were on. How does it feel to work so hard and find yourself at the top of the heap?
I can't even begin to say how excited I am right now. In 2012 I competed in 16 events. That's more than one event a month. It's been a serious grind, but it's so rewarding to know that my goal this year was to be on tour again and that's what I've done. Winning two events also was so surreal. It's the best feeling ever. For me, the real special moments were not winning itself but it's when I won twice and came to the beach. To be welcomed by the girls on tour, my friends. The girls I have become close to throughout my travels. Without this amazing surfing lifestyle I would not have been able to meet these incredible people. It's such a humbling feeling. It's rewarding in the sense that I've put so much time and energy into my career. The level of women's surfing is rising and you have to evolve with it.
So you've re-qualified through the Star Events. For 2013, what pitfalls will you avoid to stay on the Elite Tour?
I'm just going to enjoy the year, every moment of it. Focus on one heat and one event at a time. Jesus gave me everything this year so I know he'll provide many lessons and experiences in 2013!

A California native, Paula McLain received an M.F.A. in poetry from the University of Michigan. She is the author of two collections of poetry, as well as a memoir and a novel. Paula has received numerous fellowships and awards, including grants from the Ohio Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Last year, she received the Cleveland Arts Prize for Literature. McLain and her family live in Cleveland Heights.
The Paris Wife is the story of a Midwestern boy and girl, Ernest Hemingway and Hadley Richardson, who met, fell in love, married and moved to Paris. Through Hadley's eyes we see a young, sensitive man who blossoms into one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
"I first came to know Hadley in the pages of A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's remarkable memoir of his years in Paris," Paula explains. "His reminiscences of Hadley were so moving that I decided to seek out biographies of her life — and that's when I knew that I'd found something special."
NONFICTION: Susan Orlean, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend
New York Times best-selling author Susan Orlean describes herself as being "the product of a happy and relatively uneventful childhood in Cleveland, Ohio." The seeds for Susan's book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend, were planted in her childhood by the Rin Tin Tin figurine on her grandfather's desk. Years later when she learned that Rin Tin Tin was a real dog with an amazing life, she was drawn to his story.
Rin Tin Tin was discovered as a puppy by a young American soldier during World War I. The soldier took the puppy home where he was able to draw the attention of Warner Bros. During the following decade, Rinty starred in 23 blockbuster films that saved the studio from bankruptcy. He and his descendants transitioned from silent films to talkies and from radio to television. The story that began on a battlefield developed into an enduring bond between humans and animals.
Orlean is the author of seven other books, including The Orchid Thief, which was made into the Academy Award-winning film, "Adaptation." She's been hailed as a "national treasure" by The Washington Post.
POETRY: Dave Lucas, Weather: Poems
Weather, Dave Lucas' debut collection, captures the changing seasons and landscapes of Cleveland, his hometown. The poems in this collection provide an enchanting and majestic, yet realistic and earthy, view of the Erie lakefront, steel mills and suburbs of northeast Ohio.
Lucas graduated with a B.A. in English from John Carroll University, and earned an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Virginia. He also received an M.A. in English language and literature from the University of Michigan, where he is currently working toward his Ph.D. He is the co-founder and co-director of the popular Market Garden Brewery Reading Series in Cleveland. Lucas has received great praise from fellow poets. Rita Dove, Akron native and Poet Laureate of the United States 1993–95, included him on her "Young Poets to Watch" list. Mark Strand, Poet Laureate of the United States 1990-91, wrote, "[Lucas] is an extraordinarily gifted young poet. In fact, I know of no other poet of his age who is his equal. His poems combine acute observation with a subtle command of the cadences of American verse, creating for the reader a verbal world of astonishing clarity and inescapable harmony."
YOUNG ADULT: Rae Carson, The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Rae Carson's debut novel sets the stage for the forthcoming books in her trilogy. Readers meet Elisa, the younger of two princesses, who as yet has not done anything remarkable in her life. Then, Elisa learns she is the chosen one: The one person in the century to achieve greatness. Publishers Weekly raved, "A smart, complex fantasy with stellar characters ... Carson's mature writing style, thoughtful storytelling, appealing characters and surprising twists add up to a page-turner with broad appeal."
The Columbus resident grew up in California and earned a B.A. in social science from Biola University. In 2004, Carson joined the Online Writing Workshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror where she found her calling, met her future best friends, and her future husband.
ABOUT OHIO: Candice Millard, Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President
Ohio native James A. Garfield became the 20th president of the United States in 1880. Four months into his presidency, Garfield was felled by an assassin's bullet. But, writes author Candice Millard, it was not the bullet itself that killed the statesman. Rather, it was the bitter behind-the-scenes political power struggle and disastrous, archaic and unsanitary medical care he received. Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President documents this tragic event, as well as the heroic efforts of Alexander Graham Bell, who worked around the clock to develop a device capable of finding the bullet.
