Background: Offspring of parents with bipolar disorder, by virtue of their high-risk status for developing bipolar disorder, merit an investigation of the efficacy of treatment with mood stabilizers. Behavioral and mood difficulties in this population may represent prodromal forms of bipolar disorder. We studied the efficacy of divalproex in treating child and adolescent bipolar offspring with mood or behavioral disorders who did not yet meet criteria for bipolar I or II disorder.
Method: We studied 24 children aged 6-18 years (mean = 11.3 years; 17 boys/7 girls) with at least 1 biological parent with bipolar disorder. Participants were diagnosed by the Washington University in St. Louis Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia with at least 1 of the following DSM-IV disorders: major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, cyclothymic disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Subjects all had at least moderate affective symptoms (28-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression or Young Mania Rating Scale score > 12). After a 2-week washout period, subjects were treated with divalproex for 12 weeks, titrated to achieve serum levels of 50-120 mg/mL (mean final dose = 821 mg/day; mean final serum level = 79.0 mg/mL).
Results: One subject discontinued after 2 weeks due to continuation of symptoms. Of the remaining 23 subjects, 18 (78%) were considered responders by primary outcome criteria ("very much improved" or "much improved" on the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement scale). Divalproex was well tolerated with no discontinuations due to adverse effects.
Conclusion: Bipolar offspring with mood or behavioral disorders and at least mild affective symptoms may respond to divalproex treatment. Our study was limited by the open treatment, lack of a placebo group, and the heterogeneous nature of the sample. Controlled studies are warranted in the use of divalproex in symptomatic bipolar offspring.

By Steve Landwehr
HAMILTON — A feud over whether a local religious seminary should pay for students' children to attend public schools has evolved into a numbers war.
On one side, a study commissioned last year by the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School Committee calculated that each of the seminary's students costs the school district about $8,000. Last year, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary paid the town $2,000 for each if its 42 schoolchildren.
The seminary also hired a consultant to determine the economic impact of its students, faculty and visitors every year. It valued that impact at $8 million in Hamilton alone and $33 million across Essex County.
But beneath those arguments and counterarguments are philosophical questions that don't easily fit into formulas. What value does society place on the contributions that churches, schools, hospitals and other nonprofits make to the common good? And can we or should we even try to put a price on them?
The Rev. Dorington Little has been pastor at the First Congregational Church on Bay Road in Hamilton for about 12 years. During that time, about two dozen seminarians have volunteered their time to an assortment of youth and adult ministries at the church, he said, "contributing and enhancing across the community." That, he says, has a direct, if immeasurable, benefit for the town.
"We do have people who say the reason they moved to Hamilton is because the church ministers to the whole family," Little said. "So the church can be a draw for the community, and the fact we have those students does help the community."
Hamilton resident Margo Killoran doesn't disagree with that point of view but does think the seminary is not living up to its mission locally.
"The seminary sends students to minister all over the world but doesn't do the same thing in the community where their mission is fostered," Killoran said.
As a religious educational institution, Gordon-Conwell is constitutionally protected from taxation, but Killoran said separation of church and state is a sword that cuts both ways.
Because the education of the seminary's students is being underwritten by the taxpayers of Hamilton, she said, public dollars are supporting a religious institution and its mission.
"We're not supposed to do that," she said.
In the eyes of some residents, relationships between the town and the school have gone from simmer to boil a number of times since the seminary first built housing for its married students in 1975. Although arguments have been made about other costs relating to the seminary, the central argument has always been over its schoolchildren.
The discussions often leave school officials in an uncomfortable position. Enough is Enough, a local anti-tax-increase group, and others have pressured them to put an actual cost on the education of the seminary students. But school officials have resolutely maintained they are legally and morally prevented from singling out individual groups of children and must educate all the town's children without regard for economic or social standing.
"The taxpayers of Hamilton take a definitively different point of view," Killoran said. "We're the ones footing the bill."
How much is enough?
Hamilton Selectman David Carey has been part of a committee negotiating with the seminary for more than a year. He acknowledges there is a cost associated with the additional seminary students, but determining what it is can be difficult.
And whatever it is, he said, people should balance it against four things the school demonstrably contributes to the community:
The diversity its students and their children bring to an otherwise largely homogenous community;
The culture of academia that many other small towns lack;
The jobs it provides by hiring local people;
And the 126 acres of open space the school protects by its very presence.
Carey said he anticipates negotiations with the school will resume in the coming weeks. School officials clearly said their $84,000 gift last year was a one-time event that would be revisited annually. And like everyone else, the school is suffering from the downturn in the economy.
The selectman posed a question that is at the very core of the ongoing debate. In the usual course of events, the cost of municipal governance would be spread across all residents by some formula, he said, but when nonprofit institutions are part of the mix, how are their offsetting contributions to be weighed?
"Since the ordinary model doesn't apply," Carey asked, "what does?"
Highlights from the studies
Seminary benefits to the community
$3 million a year in faculty and staff salaries for Hamilton residents
$221,888 worth of goods and services purchased annually from 26 Hamilton vendors
$2.8 million worth of goods and services purchased annually by master's degree students
Seminary costs to the community
Additional teachers to educate seminarians' children, estimated at 0.74 to 3.77 per year
$300,000, estimated funding gap created by 40 students each year
$3.9 million, cumulative budget impact between 2009 and 2018

TV show filming mummy exhibit at St. Pete History Museum07/29/14 Human Interest
ST. PETERSBURG – A call has gone out for extras to gawk and cheer as the newly designed quarters of St. Petersburg's oldest transplant – an authentic mummy -- is unveiled today at the St. Petersburg Museum of History.
Those making their way to the museum at 335 Second Ave. NE by 4:30 p.m. could find themselves playing a peripheral role in the new television show Museum Men, planned for the cable network H2. It's about people who build museum displays and tells the stories connected to the artifacts....
Mother of pregnant St. Petersburg teenager missing for two years remains hopeful07/24/14 Human Interest
ST. PETERSBURG — This week marks a somber anniversary for Leah Martin and her family.
Two years ago, her 17-year-old daughter, Morgan Keyanna Martin, vanished in front of their home.
It was after midnight that July 25, but Morgan wanted to share exciting news with the father of the baby growing inside her. Cellphone in hand and wearing pajamas and bedroom slippers, she stepped outside her family's home at 2808 17th Ave. S, eager to tell her baby's father that it was a girl....
Group completes first phase of Mayor Rick Kriseman's new Pier process07/22/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — The group appointed to determine what residents want as the city reboots its effort to redevelop the Pier completed its assignment Tuesday.
A final report will suggest a list of amenities hundreds of people who participated in five recent public-input sessions and an online survey consider essential. It also will include elements that have been part of the long-running process to build anew or refurbish the shuttered inverted pyramid....
Budget constraints could restrict St. Petersburg Pier amenities07/16/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — In a poll last fall, close to 40 percent of residents said they would be willing to support a tax increase if additional money was needed to get everything they want in a new Pier.
Now, as Mayor Rick Kriseman's Pier working group is set to prepare a report telling would-be design teams what people's hopes are for a new or renovated attraction, it appears that the $46 million budget might be inadequate to grant all of their wishes....
Review: 'Rebbe' an in-depth biography of influential leader Schneerson07/10/14Books
The title hints at unabashed admiration.
Joseph Telushkin's new biography, Rebbe: The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History, fascinates nonetheless.
Perhaps it's because amid accounts of a man of great kindness, wisdom and piety, who worked behind the scenes on behalf of persecuted Soviet Jews and who is said to have inspired the expansion of the food stamp program to feed the hungry in this country, there are details about seeming contradictions, sorrow, a family's human frailties and messianic claims....
Pier working group sifts through ocean of residents' ideas07/09/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — Invited to specify amenities they'd like at a new or renovated Pier, more than 2,000 residents have offered ideas running the gamut from a comedy club to a microbrewery to a basketball court.
But while some clamored for shade and air conditioning, top favorites were open-air casual dining, observation areas, accommodations for cycling, jogging, walking and fishing, and trams or trolleys....
Property appraiser sets record straight on St. Pete submerged lands07/03/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — Pinellas County Property Appraiser Pam Dubov says her office will correct its records to show that the city, not a mysterious land trust, owns a large swath of Smacks Bayou.

Episcopal bishop ponders whether to sanction same-sex blessings06/29/14Religion
Early this year, Episcopal Bishop Dabney Smith stood before a crowd of about 175 people who wanted him to authorize same-sex union blessings.
The meeting, in the parish hall of St. Peter's Episcopal Cathedral in downtown St. Petersburg, was of particular significance.
It took place at the "mother church" of Smith's diocese, which stretches from Brooksville to Marco Island and includes Tampa, St. Petersburg and Plant City. St. Peter's also is home to an energized group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members with strong support from congregational leaders and parishioners....

Opinions aplenty as first of public Pier input sessions begins06/19/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — Quentin Richardson showed the images on his laptop, his idea of the city's next Pier, shaped like a ship's mast and with a lighthouse on top.

Trail through Roser Park to go ahead, despite objections06/19/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — Plans for the Roser Park trail are set to go ahead, despite a petition by some neighbors.
Opponents of the pedestrian and bicycle path argue that it will destroy mature trees, kill wildlife and change their historic neighborhood.
The decision to proceed with the $2.5 million project came after "careful consideration of the comments presented by the neighborhood residents, leaders, city staff and administration," said Cheryl Stacks, the city's bicycle and pedestrian coordinator....

Residents again invited to weigh in on St. Petersburg Pier06/17/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — The question has been asked over and over again.
What do the people of St. Petersburg want for the Pier project?
A marine discovery center? A bridge from Spa Beach to Vinoy Park? A picnic area? Perhaps a Ferris wheel? Each option has come up in the yearslong quest to regenerate the downtown attraction.

Structural integrity of St. Petersburg's Pier to be tested06/06/14 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — Mayor Rick Kriseman has said the new Pier can be a completely new project or a renovation of the existing inverted pyramid.
But renovation raises a key question about the durability of the Pier, including the steel skeleton of the iconic building and the massive caissons that support it.
It's a question, according to an engineer with the mayor's Pier working group, that must be answered before the city invites design teams to offer their visions of what should rise off Second Avenue N....

SMYRNA, Tenn. – A man who police thought was barricaded inside a Smyrna home for hours on Monday night has been taken into custody.
Gary Moncier, age 44, was charged with four counts of aggravated assault and five counts of reckless endangerment.
Police said there Moncier got into an argument over a computer with family members during a gathering around 8 p.m. at his parents' Almaville Road home. According to police, Moncier was armed, but some family members were able to wrestle the gun away from him. During the struggle, the gun discharged but no one was hit.
Police believed Moncier was left in the house alone after his family members escaped.
After about four hours of trying to make contact with him, police entered the home to find Moncier was not inside.
Around 2 a.m. Tuesday, Moncier allegedly went back to the home and called for medical assistance after suffering some scratches on his arms.
He was taken to Stone Crest Medical Center, and later released. Moncier was taken to Smyrna Police Department, where he was charged.
He was then transferred to the Rutherford County Jail.
Smyrna Police said he also attacked General Sessions Judge Larry Brandon at the Hobby Lobby in Murfreesboro in May. After the incident, Moncier told NewsChannel 5 that he regretted the attack. Moncier was charged with simple assault and retaliation for a past action. He knew the judge from a foreclosure hearing on his home.

SUNDAY ADULT STUDY 9:15! Beyond Belief, renowned religion scholar Elaine Pagels continues her groundbreaking examination of the earliest Christian texts, arguing for an ongoing assessment of faith and a questioning of religious orthodoxy.
Spurred on by personal tragedy and new scholarship from an international group of researchers, Pagels returns to her investigation of the "secret" Gospel of Thomas, and breathes new life into writings once thought heretical. As she arrives at an ever-deeper conviction in her own faith, Pagels reveals how faith allows for a diversity of interpretations, and that the "rogue" voices of Christianity encourage and sustain "the recognition of the light within us all."
One of the most important things a Christian must do is deepen their understanding of the faith. When one chooses not to do this they give up the opportunity to become proficient in the language of faith and to ask all those questions that trouble us.
Every Sunday at 9:15am Adult Christian Education class meets in the Fellowship Hall to engage in conversation and the study of the faith. All are welcome ... even if you missed a class or two. The classes are always designed to be self contained so that people can come and go as their life dictates. If you are attending university - you are welcome as well. The more the better! Scroll down to see the schedule for the class. If you have a particular topic you would like to study, just let Pastor Howell know.

DISA wants more vendor accountability
Friday - 1/7/2011, 7:09am EST
Federal News Radio
The Defense Information Systems Agency will begin develop contracts that are performance-based, and the first major one is imminent.
Tony Montemarano, DISA's component acquisition executive, said Thursday at a lunch panel hosted by AFCEA-DC in Arlington, Va., that the Defense Department wants to increase the accountability of its vendors, and performance-based awards will do that and save money.
The first such contract is for Global Solutions Management (GSM). Montemarano said that while the performance-based GSM contract is new to DISA and much of the industry, the agency has worked hard to ensure a level playing field for vendors competing for the contract as well as between vendors and the government.
Montemarano did not specify when the contract would be announced but he said it will be before Feb. 16.
"The good news is that the agency is dotting the I's and crossing the T's as we speak," he said. "The bad news is there are an awful lot of I's and an awful lot of T's."
Moving to performance-based contracting is part of a broader initiative for DISA and DoD.
"In addition to the normal contracting issues, you have to recognize that we have this insatiable desire for situational awareness and security," Montemarano said. "We are going to want have visibility into your solutions and those solutions are going to have to be secure in accordance with whatever we happen to tell you it has to be secured with, and that varies. The point is that you have to walk into it eyes open."
Another of DISA's priorities is the capability to always "be on" to have real time back-ups so that if one application fails, users will not experience any interruption in service.
But DISA also isn't ready to jump into technology that is not ready for prime time. Recently the agency scrapped plans to join its video teleconferencing capability with its collaboration capability when industry failed to produce technology the agency sought.
Montemarano said DISA initially solicited solutions but a cutting edge, managed technology service was not ready. Now the agency will "take what we have and iterate it until technology is available that we can go out and just get a turn-key solution."
Montemarano also addressed DISA's upcoming move to Ft. Meade under the Base Realignment and Closure effort. He said the agency made certain to synchronize all activity prior to its move and is working with the General Services Administration on the necessary solicitations, four in all.
"We feel good that things will stay on track, but having said that, cycles are cycles and there are only so many I wouldn't be surprised if there are some slips, but nothing you would notice," he said.

He's a long way from his hometown of Cheshire, England, but the new executive director of Time for Lyme Inc., Peter Wild, has big plans for fundraising, research and increasing awareness of the tick-borne disease that holds thousands of Fairfield County residents in its uneasy grip.
The fresh shot of energy Wild brings to the table will bolster the momentum of the mostly volunteer driven non-profit organization, which, since its founding in 1998 by three Greenwich women, has raised millions of dollars for research.
With founders and longtime co-presidents Diane Blanchard and Debbie Siciliano at the helm, (a third founding member, Fran Herzog, stepped down in 2009), and a dedicated and determined board comprised of many of its original members, the volunteers have much to be proud of.
Yet, it is no easy battle to keep pace with the silent epidemic that prays disproportionately on children aged 5-14, and has dug in deep in the northeast.
With the ink still drying on his contract, Wild, who resides in Fairfield, began in his official capacity at the Stamford offices of Time for Lyme on Feb. 1. Rattling off a long to-do list, Wild's ambition is evident.
At the top of his agenda are events critical to raising money for promising research initiatives. He explained that he would like to see the major gala held in alternating years become an annual event, and is also planning a 5K run-walk at Cove Island Park in Stamford, a golf outing, and a musical event.
Wild is nothing if not creative, with a set of wide and varied hobbies that compliment a unique career path. The avid sailor, beekeeper and runner, started his career working in advertising. At BBDO in London in the '70s, Wild excelled in account services and, later, he happily transferred to that agency's Madison Avenue offices in New York.
In the '80s, when the traditional 15% commission model for agencies was dismantled, Wild rolled with the punches. As it was the early days of cable television, he started a programming company in which the advertisers owned the shows. He created "Celebrity Chefs" for former client, Campbell's Soup, with Robert Morley as host. The program ran for several years and featured a range of celebrity chefs from Beverly Sills to Tony Randall.
Though neither Wild nor his family have Lyme Disease, he recalls the sad demise of his pet Corgi from a tick-borne disease, and the patient efforts of his now ex-wife who checked their dog's coat with a fine-tooth comb every night searching for ticks. And though Time for Lyme's mission is specifically related to the disease in humans, Wild noted that the Lyme Disease vaccine for dogs is 85% effective.
In humans, the accuracy of current testing is a meager 70%, and, with the all too common incidents of both false positives and false negatives, the rate of undiagnosed cases is high. And, because the bacteria can lodge in various parts of the body, symptoms vary widely and may include fatigue and searing headaches, as well as cognitive and neurological problems to name a few.
Wild pointed out that no one is untouched by the disease. "We all have a family member or friend with Lyme," he said. "I like to cut my firewood and keep my bees," he added, "So I am always on guard. If I even venture out to the garden bench, I tuck my trousers into my socks." He explained another cruel twist, which is that even as one can be vigilant, "… pets bring the ticks inside. They hop off the dog and get onto you," he said, the implication being that it could happen even the most careful among us.
Time for Lyme's offices are located at 2001 W. Main St. in Stamford.
Tel. (203) 969-1333. For more information go to Time for Lyme. Email: email@example.com

Paul Eugene Thurston '60 inspired generations of students as a professor of chemistry at Texas Southern University
By Dan Edelen
For Paul Eugene Thurston '60, a career filled with purpose and accomplishment as a chemistry professor at Texas Southern University grew from one of the oldest of sayings: Take it or leave it.
As a teenager having already committed to another college, Thurston got an unexpected phone call while he was working as a bellhop at a New Jersey hotel. A representative of the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students said Lafayette would offer him a scholarship, a matching loan, and an on-campus job. Plus, NSSFNS would sweeten the deal with a grant. Would he accept?
"Can I think about it?" Thurston asked. "We need to know now," he was told. He said yes, and with that his life took a deliberate, yet unexpected, turn.
Thurston had been told as a youngster that he had a gift "to see chemistry" and never doubted he would pursue that discipline. "My expectation was to get a degree and go to work for a chemical company like DuPont," he says. But at Lafayette another desire awakened in him. His first-year English instructor impressed him with his concern while helping him hone his writing. Chemistry faculty, particularly William F. Hart, showed that good professors reach out to students as individuals. So, while chemistry continued to fascinate Thurston, a call to instill knowledge and mentor future generations grew more powerful than the lure of business.
So he pursued a Ph.D. in organic chemistry at Cornell University, finishing in 1964, then honored an ROTC commitment to the Army, working with a civilian team perfecting the chemical components of solid-fuel rockets at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. During the turbulent civil-rights era, Thurston struggled to adjust to his new location far from Lafayette, Cornell, and his home in Williamsport, Pa., and as he considered options for a post-military teaching career, he gave little thought to remaining south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
But when a fellow lieutenant told him about Texas Southern University, in Houston, Thurston sent a letter to Samuel Nabrit, president of the university, and was hired for the chemistry department in 1966. He gave 34 years of devoted service to the students and staff of TSU, retiring as a full professor in 2000.
"I was the first person in my immediate family to not only have a college degree, but to even graduate from high school," he says. "Although I'm sure I could have made a lot more money working for some big chemical company, I doubt that I would have gotten the satisfaction from the work as I get from being a professor."
In a career of challenging thousands of young people to meet high standards of academic excellence, Thurston experienced countless reminders of the importance of giving back to others.
"Seeing students each year grow, then come back later to thank me" proved one of his greatest joys, he says. "As an African American, teaching at a historically black university like TSU was icing on the cake."
Many former students are now pharmacists, dentists, and medical doctors whom he encounters in his travels around the Houston metroplex.
An active community volunteer, Thurston says, "I've been given gifts by God that I use to help people when I can. It's almost an avocation." Each week he distributes food and clothing to the needy through Houston's interdenominational Emergency Aid Coalition.
He also remains intensely engaged in learning – he studies Spanish and is tracing his ancestry, planning a trip to Africa in pursuit of his family's origins. The desire to teach, which he discovered at Lafayette, still burns in him, so he volunteers as a tutor at TSU.
"My experience at Lafayette influenced my attitude about what a college professor can and ought to be," he says.

Red Dawn: new poster
The young cast of the Red Dawn remake pose with guns and serious faces in its new poster...
In what could be described as a 'damn you Photoshop' moment, the young and fresh-faced actors of Red Dawn line up for its new poster. There's Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and some chap in a hat [that's Josh Peck – Ed].
There's Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas lurking in the background, too, though we're not sure which one's which. Disappointingly, neither character is named Dawn.
The Red Dawn remake has, as we've mentioned in the past, been on the shelf for a while, which explains why Thor and Katniss Everdeen's man in peril look so youthful.
Red Dawn's scheduled for release in November in the US, with a UK release yet to be revealed. All together now, "Avenge me, boys! Avenge meeee!"

Uh oh, no black/minority character on the poster.
Crafty move from the makers of this movie, waiting for the right release date has served them well as Hemsworth's 'stock' has risen substantially since Thor and Avengers. Im a big fan of the original and the wifey loves big Chris so looking forward to this.
Palicki is on the left and Lucas is on the right :)
Actually, Mayor Bates and his son Daryl will be black in this movie (with their last name changed to Jenkins for some odd reason). Why Daryl didn't make the poster surprises me as well. TIme to hold out that hand for that "shame on you" slap.
Is it the case they were waiting for Thor etc to drop, or is the movie just a pile of crap?
It was on the shelf because MGM went bankrupt and everything was frozen. The film was sold to Film District and coming out on Thanksgiving for a reason. Because the film is going to be a hit.

There is nothing much that can comparable to the homely feeling of
eating a bowl of steaming hot instant noodles, home cooked naturally. I
have been deprived of this simple pleasure for so long (it comes with
not having cooking facilities at my place ;)) that I've almost
forgotten how good it is.
I don't even like Maggie Mee Assam Laksa (I'll go for Curry flavor
any day)…but it kinda grows on you…and there's just something about
two packets of Maggie Mee noodles, cooked slightly soggy, with just the
right amount of soup and two eggs that's really heartening. It's like
coming home. :)

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety starts off its 'Sober or Slammer' program Friday, which will last through Labor Day, Sept. 4. The program will step up law enforcement presence through state and local agencies on South Carolina roads to prevent drunk driving.
"Nearly half of South Carolina's fatalities each year continue to be DUI-related. That is why we are enlisting the public to help be our eyes on the highways and combat this problem by calling *HP if they suspect an impaired driver," said Leroy Smith, director for the SCDPS. "In 2011, South Carolina law enforcement officers made 28,466 DUI arrests. We can only imagine the number of lives saved and injuries averted due to many of those arrests."
Department of Public Safety is using alternative routes this year to get the message out about drunk driving. Motorists will be seeing the faces of real South Carolina DUI victims on box trucks, gas pump handles, billboards and convenience store windows urging motorists to call *HP (*47 ) if they see someone they suspect is driving drunk.
One example of the "in your face" advertising will be a photograph of Kia Waters, who was killed in 2007.
"It is extremely important to me and my family to stay involved with the 'Sober or Slammer' campaign to help prevent others from having to experience the grief that we had to go through," said Jim Waters, Kia's father. "Kia was, without a doubt, an angel on Earth put here to touch the hearts and lives of others. Even though she is no longer with us physically, she is still with us by touching the hearts of all who see her beautiful picture on the side of the trucks and gas pumps."
For the third year, SCDPS will air a two-part TV commercial that depicts the consequences of driving impaired. The two 60-second spots, created by Fisher Communications, are the latest in the "DUI" series.
The new installment involves a DUI resulting in death – a fact that occurs on average once a day in South Carolina, according to the SCPDS. Nationally, one person dies about every 50 minutes due to DUI. In 2010, more than 10,000 people nationwide died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes – one every 51 minutes. Alcohol-impaired motor vehicle crashes cost an estimated $37 billion annually nationwide.
The Sober or Slammer campaign will be bolstered by partnerships with bordering states and a national focus on DUI including Hands Across the Border - a series of multi-state highway safety awareness events during the week leading up to Labor Day. South Carolina law enforcement agencies will join state and local agencies from North Carolina and Georgia to conduct public safety checkpoints and awareness events. The South Carolina Highway Patrol will also be stationing troopers every 10 miles on interstates during periods of travel on the Labor Day weekend.

No, not all distributions come with SELinux and IPsec. Some distributions come with SELinux and IPSec integrated into them and others have this functionality available as add-in packages. Probably the best example of an integrated SELinux distribution is Red Hat ES and Fedora. Red Hat has tightly integrated SELinux in these releases and designed a well-rounded series of policies. Red Hat also has built-in IPSec functionality. Examples of other distributions with SELinux available as a package include Debian, SuSE and Gentoo. Most of these distributions also have packages and add-ons to the kernel that allow IPSec functionality.
SELinux and IPSec provide very different functionality. SELinux is a security enhancement integrated with the kernel that enables mandatory access controls. This allows you to write policies that segregate information, processes, applications based on access controls and integrity requirements. This means the compromise of a particular application or process does not automatically mean that the whole host is compromised. IPSec is a series of protocols that allow the secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. This is principally designed to allow the implementation of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) between hosts or networks. It is not an inherent host security feature as such. It simply allows secure communication between hosts or networks.
Do these things make Linux more secure than Windows? Well, IPSec is present on most modern Windows versions and provides the same functionality as it does under Linux hosts. However, SELinux is a powerful tool that provides significant host integrity to Linux hosts. By default this sort of security is not built into Windows hosts. You can add some of this sort of security or similar functionality by adding a Host Intrusion Detection System agent, such as those made by companies like ISS and McAfee. But most of these are not as powerful and sophisticated as SELinux. SELinux can be hard to implement and can cause problems with the functionality of your applications. I recommend doing some reading on SELinux and determining whether you require this sort of functionality for your purposes. The SELinux site at the NSA should provide a good starting point.

CUMBERLAND — In about two weeks' time, those connecting to the Internet through the city's WiFi connection will find that the service is no longer free.
"The fees will be somewhere between $16 to $20 (per month)," said Dave Kartchner, executive vice president of CONXX. "There will be various (Internet service providers) on it."
Kartchner explained that CONXX, the carrier communications company that has helped to install the full citywide WiFi and the vehicle which AllCoNet 2 is marketed by, has been working with the city to get the services up and running.
It was originally anticipated that the system would be a paid network as of Aug. 1, but he said getting connections to various areas in the city took longer than expected.
Once the network is up, users will have the option of what plan they purchase and through what provider. Originally, plans also included a daily user fee of $4.95 to $7.95.
The WiFi could mean revenue for the city, but the connectivity throughout Cumberland will benefit employees as well.
"(CONXX) has been working recently to get the equipment in for credit card purchasing and allow city personnel to use the system," said Johnna Byers, director of management information systems. "The guy in the truck with a laptop would have a secure area to log in and access, but not interact with the public (portion). City personnel would have a pass to get around that."
Byers said she felt the system would not be beneficial inside the city hall, as it is wired, but to city personnel and staff at remote locations, as well as to residents.
Kartchner said that is this portion of the network his company his working on now. He said they are trying to ensure the public has a secure area to purchase access to the WiFi while the city workers have a secure area to conduct their business.
He added that while there are signals through most of the city, it isn't quite 100 percent in all areas. He said some places are finding, because the WiFi is being transmitted through the power poles in town, that second floors get better reception for it. He said at other areas, it works better outside than in.
For this reason, he said Conxx has been looking into equipment that homeowners could purchase to boost their signal inside the home.
"There will be a few areas in the city that don't have coverage right now as we finish up tuning, tweaking and getting adjustments made to the network," Kartchner said. "By in large, it's a pretty good cover area."
He said in about two weeks, those accessing the network will find the Web page changing one final time. This time, he said it will offer various packages that can be purchased from Internet service providers.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown still has not settled on a central sales pitch for his tax-hike initiative, even though support is shaky and election day is fast approaching.
He has said at turns that Proposition 30 is about fixing Sacramento, supporting local schools and creating jobs. At recent campaign stops, he has said the measure would help stabilize the state budget — even though ads in favor of it say the billions of dollars in new taxes will flow only to schools and cannot be touched by Sacramento politicians.

Iran | 'As if one were under water'
AN: The film is four minutes. What I wanted to show with the movie is exactly this passion of football and passion of being in a match, but at the same time the loneliness of this girl—no support, no one really wants to hear about her passion. So I asked her to play along the street, followed by a boy. … This boy listens to football from the radio of his car. Together with the voice of this football match, which we hear from the radio, then she went to this wide shot, to this football stadium, which is a kind of football pitch for training. When you see the whole thing, you can understand that Banafsheh going through this football field is just her imagination. So it's not a real field, it's just the imagination of Banafsheh at that moment. She imagines that she enters a real football [field]. At the same time, you hear the voice from a stadium, that people are cheering.
GG: Did she participate in the first match with the Berlin team [28 Apr 06] that features in Football Under Cover?
AN: Unfortunately not. … Banafsheh has a very strong and independent character. It's what I admire and appreciate. But being independent in Iran is always problematic. She had some problem with the football federation, and so she wasn't in the match. So we had to choose another girl [to take her place]. … Unfortunately, [Banafsheh is] off the national football team.
GG: This match in Apr 06 was the first outdoor competition in public for the Iranian team.
AN: In Iran. Before that they had a match in Jordan. …
Produced by Al Jazeera's English-language service, "Egypt—Bending It Like Beckham" aired on the Everywoman program on Jul 26. "If my fiancé [sic] wanted to play football, I would forbid her," says a male player.
GG: Explain how difficult it was to make that first match happen. I understand that the arrangements were complicated.
AN: Extremely complicated [laughs]. In my opinion the biggest problem with female football for the fundamentalist party of Iran is [dealing with] taboo. Not only football, but whatever women do is still like a taboo. The problem in Iran is that the fundamentalists are not as strong as a majority; they have just a minority. The problem is this minority has a real power, has a great control of everything, like the money, like the army. I can say that this minority has this control. So then you go, for example, in Iran and ask people, ask the normal men, and talk with them about female football, they all like it.
We saw a documentary about female football in Egypt [see above]. There was a scene [in which] young boys start talking about [women's] football, and they are all against it. But if you ask the normal people in Iran, ask their opinion about female football, they are all for it. And we have it in our film. We talk to the normal people, and they all like it. What is actually against [women's football] is this fundamentalist idea. The most important part of our project was to convince them that there is nothing against [the fundamentalists]. It's just about football. There is nothing political behind this. It's nothing against religion. In reality, there is nothing. When you talk about female football, it's just a sport. It's right that women also can do that, and they do it very well. It's very beautiful, very nice. The biggest problem was to break this taboo for [the fundamentalists].
The other problem was they didn't like the men being involved. They said, for example, if you want to [film] them, you use women cinematographers, female crew. In the stadium they just let the women come, so it was out of our control.

RANKIN COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - Two people are dead and one person is injured following a boating accident on the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
Wildlife Fisheries and Parks spokesman Jim Walker said it happened Sunday night between Ratliff Ferry and Flag Island.
A staging area for first responders was set up off Highway 43 near Tommy's Trading Post.
An assistant for the Rankin County coroner told WLBT two white males were killed. Their identities are not being released until family members have been notified.
A spokesperson for UMC says one person was airlifted to their emergency room.
According to Walker, the preliminary investigation revealed one vessel collided with another then ran up onto the embankment.
Officials with the Reservoir Patrol, the Rankin County sheriff's department, and Wildlife Fisheries and Parks continued their investigation Monday.

But it would be hard to top the heartfelt homage paid by Daily Times writer Steve Wildsmith on his blog. The jamboree of local bands was both a benefit for and a tribute to News Sentinel music writer Wayne Bledsoe, whose son Andrew died in December.
You should really read Wildsmith's entire post—he was one of the event's organizers, along with Tim and Susan Lee—but to quote just a little: "It was perfection on every level, in every sense of the word; it was a weekend of light and love and joy and uplifting moments too numerous to be catalogued, too profound to be described. I can't quite grasp the scope of how magnificent this weekend was, and I'm afraid to write too profusely about it, because no amount of words can describe how amazing it truly was. You had to be there. You just had to be there, because if you were, then you felt it — a thread of hope and goodness that weaved its way from heart to heart, wrapping us all close and shielding us from darkness."
I was only able to make it to the Friday and Saturday night portions, missing Jake Winstrom, Greg Horne, Hudson K, and others on Thursday. But there were standout moments all weekend: Scott Miller joining Mic Harrison and the High Score onstage for a stomping rendition of Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money"; axeman Hector Qirko reuniting with R.B. Morris during Morris' set with the Tim Lee 3; Tim Lee getting up to jam during Kevin Abernathy's scorching set; Rus Harper slithering and swamp-thinging all over the stage while the Melungeons pounded out grimy garage grooves behind him; and many, many more. There were just as many reunions in the crowd as on the stage, with old friends greeting each other with hugs and backslaps, and the overall vibe was of a family congregating to help one of its own. Bledsoe himself was visibly moved by the entire weekend, applauding enthusiastically and giving and receiving hundreds of greetings and well wishes.
Wil Wright of Senryu may have summed it up best Saturday night, surveying the large, friendly crowd. "In Knoxville," he said, "when something f--king horrible happens, we get together and try to make it better."

It was an amazing event. There are so many parts of the experience that were amazing, it's hard to say one was the most incredible: That Knoxville has this much talent; That they would work together rather than competeing; that they would give up a prime night of work for a benefit; that a music critic could become such a part of the local music community. Then, of course, there was the music, itself. If you'd like to see pictures and read narratives of each night, you might check out my blog at www.stuckinsideofknoxville.blogspot.com

Friday, July 26, 2013 — RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin has announced the recipients of the annual regional awards from SHIIP, the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program. Goodwin congratulates the following honorees:
Northeast Coordinator of the Year – Theresa Trimble, Wake County
Southeast Coordinator of the Year – Marty Dail, Beaufort County
Western Coordinator of the Year – Kathy Cobb, Cleveland County
Piedmont County of the Year – Surry County
Southeast County of the Year – Columbus County
Western County of the Year – Catawba County
Northeast Volunteer of the Year – Larry Bradbury, Wake County
Southeast Volunteer of the Year – Jerald Dennin, Carteret County
Western Volunteer of the Year – Amideus Athougies, Rutherford County
SHIIP is a division of the North Carolina Department of Insurance that offers free, objective information about Medicare, Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicare Advantage, long-term care insurance and other health insurance issues. While SHIIP has a small paid staff, it relies on county coordinators to help organize nearly 1,000 trained volunteers to provide Medicare counseling in all 100 counties in North Carolina.
"SHIIP would not be able to serve our state's 1.5 million Medicare recipients without the help of our network of volunteers and coordinators," said Goodwin.
"While all of our partners do an outstanding job, we are proud to honor those who stood out for their service this past year. These award winners provide excellent service to North Carolinians, and I'm honored they are a part of our SHIIP family."
This year's awards were presented by Goodwin and SHIIP Deputy Commissioner Van Braxton on July 17 at the 2013 SHIIP Coordinators' Training Conference in Greensboro.
"I congratulate all of the 2013 award winners," Goodwin said.
"SHIIP provides a valuable service across the state, and the need for our Medicare counseling will only grow as North Carolina's Medicare population expands."
For more information about SHIIP or to get answers to Medicare questions, call SHIIP directly at 800-443-9354 or visit www.ncshiip.com.

So now I'm past the acceptance phase and into the angry phase. To be blunt, this just sucks. I have a good week every month (luckily) and was able to complete a 100 mile bike ride in Maine recently, then some hiking in Vermont.
Now I'm back to my home State of Florida, and the pain and stiffness have set in again. Still angry, still fighting this, still hurting. But I thank you all for also sharing so I know I'm not alone.
I am a former active person/endurance athlete now doing almost nothing physically active since fibro symptoms have been kicking my behind. I just started doing graded exercise through PT, hoping I can get some level of conditioning back.
I am still trying to figure out the relationship (if any) between endurance sports and fibro. I personally think the sports I was doing made my condition worse. Prior to getting to a really bad point with Fibro (which I am still experiencing, years later) I was training for a triathon and sometimes almost collapsed during bike/run workouts due to the fatigue. It seems I know a disproportionate # of people who are distance runners or triathletes who now have FMS/CFIDS. I think there is a connection -- letting our energy "tank" get too empty.
Folks, any thoughts on this relationship?
Oh, and before MiMi can get a word in edgewise...make sure to have your Vitamin D levels checked regularly and if they are not in the 50-60 range (my personal advice; I'm not a doctor), take supplements to get your #'s up! You will find you feel better!
Meg K in MN
For Melas, sorry for what you're experiencing. Be assured, this is a great place for information and support.
If you can find a way to keep your physical activity up, do it. You may have to adjust what you do. Become a hardcore swimmer? So much of FM is a mental game. So much of it becomes a "How much benefit will I get from this activity stacked up against how much pain it will cause me?"
I know more people with respond with more advice. Also, this board used to be a bit more active, so I'd encourage you to read through some of the older posts. Also, do a search for "Dr. Pellegrino". He used to post here and had great advice.
Seems like if I sit too long, like at work, or if I exercise too much at once, it's bad. Haven't found the happy medium yet. Yard work keeps me distracted so I don't notice it then, but I do after.
My husband has recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia on top of the osteoarthritis he has in most of his joints. He was a water skier when he was younger and has been active all his life as a mason-contractor and as a farmer. Both jobs require a lot of activity and brute strength. He always had and used both.
My personal opinion is that any type of pain--from migrane to phantom limb--that lasts long enough can trigger the nervous system changes we call fibromyalgia. Someday we'll know if I'm right.
In the meantime, do whatever it takes to calm your body. Take your vitamin D, eliminate any dietary triggers you may have, take a warm bath or shower morning and night. Practice sleep hygiene (same time every night with calming things like your bath right before). And streamline your house and your life to make things easier. (Pack up the knick knacks, etc.)
Do what you can to make your life more joyous and less hassled.
I hope I can get over the angry stage of this soon and move on to incorporating a different lifestyle without fighting it so much. In time, in time.
I guess I can most clearly trace it back to 2006 when I was postpartum. I felt like after labor my pain levels were out of whack and many sensations that should not be painful were.
That seemed to relent a bit after a while. The reality is I probably had post-partum depression, too which complicates things. But I started to get worse again when my baby started to have chronic ear infections that left her up in the middle of the night (and me too!) Once she started sleeping again, I coudl no longer sleep. That's when my symptoms got really bad. I woudl say I spent much of 2007-09 incapacitated by fatigue and pain, but I still worked FT and raised my kids!! My husband was also in a doctoral program.
By 2009-10, the depression (mood) is well treated, but then I really realize the underlying pain and fatigue is not going away. I woudl say this got worse and worse until this year when I've really started to see some improvements.
My brother has CFS and suffered with bad symptoms for years, but he would now say he is pretty much back to normal. So, I am hoping I can get there too. But probalby not back to triathlons.
Hope that long answer helps.
Meg K
I would suggest you keep an eye on your B12, too, and there is increasing evidence I've seen that Thiamin (which I think is B1?) levels should be watched also. Haven't gotten on that bandwagon. You are probably on top of all that already!
Take care, Melas, remember you're not alone!
I have to tell you that I don't think Florida is the best state for fm. I live in Illinois which isn't too great for fm either, but in the winter it isn't quite so bad. Every February we spend in Florida and my fm is the very worse it ever gets. It is a real bummer to be on vacation and spend half the time in bed! We have been going there for 20 some years with the fm being really bad the last 3 years. So this year we are going to California to see if that helps. I spent July in Arizona and my fm was better there than in Illinois but not a whole lot. I think partly because it was their "monsoon season". I do think climates have something to do with the severity sometimes.
I would definitely have a hard time in Florida starting in May when the hot, muggy weather starts. For those who are thinking of moving to a dry climate like Arizona, those who have done this say that the first few years are a little better, but after a while it doesn't seem to make any difference. (Of course, no one knows how bad the fibro would have been back at the home state--in either the good or bad Arizona years.) This was published in one of the fibromyalgia books I own, but I can't remember where. Must be fibrofog.
Denial is first stage...feeling it is the wrong diagnosis....and the anger or tears can follow. I bounced back and forth in that for about 10 years....and have just gotten to acceptance with a bit of anger still to push me to move and move I do.
I refuse to give our dragon any more of me. I am quite active and at time pay dearly, but I have a life. A little different and smaller probably than it would have been....but a life none the less.
get educated and learn your tools to repair your problems. I love the book, FM and Chronic Myofascial Pain by Dr Devin Starlanyl and there is a new book as well. BOTH are PRICELESS to me.
I use Neurology to repair me and put Humpty Dumpty back together again every two weeks with trugger point injections. It is a great tool for me.
Good luck and so glad you found the board and can gain so much from those who walk this walk.
Welcome, Nancy B

A New Normal for Shared Services and Outsourcing
Stan Lepeak, Director, Global Sourcing Advisory Research, KPMG in the US
In terms of macro trends, a hot term in the market today is 'new normal'. New normal in terms of the economic conditions and new normal in terms of debt, unfortunately. But also what we see is a new normal in terms of how businesses are approaching the delivery of their back and front office services. The challenge today is, how do you design, deploy, manage and optimize a portfolio of service delivery offerings, particularly on a global scale?
Reducing operating costs remains a top priority for end user organizations' service delivery improvement efforts, but buyers also seek a variety of other benefits above and beyond cutting costs. These include improved global service delivery capabilities, greater financial and business process flexibility, and improved process performance. As a result, a key challenge that remains is to balance cost cutting and process improvement agendas and needs.
KPMG Shared Services and Outsourcing Advisory's Second Quarter 2011 Pulse Survey results point to the fact that organizations are continuing to utilize outsourcing; slow and steady growth is how I describe it. While it's not growing as fast as it was coming out of the last recession seven or eight years ago, it is important to note how the market has evolved during this period.
Cloud computing, which is a close cousin to outsourcing in many cases, should be considered when looking at total market growth. Cloud computing adoption appears likely to become an increasingly dominant service market trend. Buyers for now are focused on the more important but less glamorous aspects of cloud computing, such as business case development and validation, pricing and pricing model assessment, legacy systems migration plans, and time line development.
The Pulse report and webcast, both of which cover a wide range of current issues and trends including global sourcing and deal pricing, are available here.
